《Reborn Duke In Three Kingdoms》


 Chapter 1

    In the early morning, the sun rises, and the golden rays make Xiangyang City magnificent.


    On the cold street, Liu Xiu ran to the prefecture to meet the rising sun. Liu Xiu is the youngest son of Mu Liubiao in Jingzhou. Since he was born a commoner, he has seen Liubiao almost a few times since he grew up.


    After running to the back door of the prefecture, Liu Xiugang was about to enter the prefecture when he saw an enchanting woman coming out with a straight face.


    Liu Xiu knew that the woman in front of him was Lvliu, the maid of his second brother Liu Cong.


    Lu Liu stood on her hips and yelled: "Liu Xiu, you fool, I told you yesterday that there will be a visit from Sun Quan''s envoy. It''s good for you to slip out early in the morning. Mr. Zhou Mu seldom gives you a chance to show your face, but you don''t pay attention to it. No wonder you are not valued. The common son is the common son. He is willing to degenerate. "


    Liu Xiu didn''t seem to hear Lvliu''s words. He asked indifferently, "have you finished?"


    Green willow a face disdain, the eyes is disdain, sarcastic way: "what''s the matter, words don''t sound good?"? You''re a waste. You''re a disgrace to Zhou mu. "


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were awe inspiring, and his right hand suddenly waved out.


    "Pa!"


    A slap, hard fan in the face of green willow.


    The green willow covers the hot cheek, Zheng Zheng is absent-minded. Immediately, green willow eyes fierce, screamed: "Liu Xiu, you dare to hit me. I''m Cong''s man. If you beat me, Cong won''t forgive you. "


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, a cold sense of killing flashed away and waved again.


    "Pa!"


    The loud slap in the face sounded again and confused the green willow.


    Liu Xiu wiped his hands, and his eyes were calm again, as if nothing had happened just now. "Anyway, I''m the son of Zhou mu. You''re just a servant girl who sells himself as a slave. If I go all out to complain to my father and you complain to my second brother, do you think you died? Or am I punished? "


    Green willow''s eyes are ferocious. She wants to kill Liu Xiu. Once Liu Xiu does not pay attention to punishment and complains, with Liu''s good face, even if he dislikes Liu Xiu, he will put Lvliu to death to make an example.


    Green willow''s eyes, there is resentment, unwilling, but there are doubts.


    In her impression, Liu Xiu is weak, self abased and self pitying, and can bully at will. In front of her, Liu Xiu was cold and overbearing, and even more powerful, which made her feel cold.


    Is this Liu Xiu in memory?


    Green willow fast search brain memory, but found that only remember three months ago Liu Xiu a serious illness, then did not see Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu waved and said, "go away, don''t get in my way."


    Green willow eyes resentful, unwilling to retreat to one side.


    Liu Xiu stepped into the mansion, clenched his fist, and then loosened it. From today on, he will no longer be Liu Xiu, who used to be everyone''s bully.


    In fact, this is Liu Xiu''s third life.


    In the first generation, Liu Xiu was an ordinary white-collar worker in the Republic. He was busy making a living. In the second generation, he became Liu Xiu. Because he was the son of Liu Biao''s concubine, his status was humble, and he had no ambition. With a muddle along attitude, he finally followed Liu Cong to surrender to Cao Cao and lived in isolation all his life.


    Three months ago, he was born again.


    This year is the 11th year of Jian''an.


    Cao Cao calmed Bingzhou, sent troops to attack Wuhuan, and was about to redeem Cai Yan; Liu Bei was about to invite Zhuge Liang.


    Two years later, Cao Cao went south to Jingzhou and launched the battle of Chibi.


    Liu Xiu''s mentality has already changed after two generations of life and vicissitudes. He was reborn again, unwilling to repeat the days of dependence, unwilling to be bullied.


    This life, he wants to change himself, but also to change Jingzhou.


    Liu Biao can''t defend Jingzhou, Liu Cong can''t defend Jingzhou, so, he will defend, he will be the master of Jingzhou!


    Three months after his rebirth, Liu Xiu has been waiting for his chance. According to the memory of the previous life, today, Lu Su, Sun Quan''s envoy, came to visit, and Liu finally lost his face.


    In the last life, he looked on coldly.


    This life, he will not sit back and ignore.


    Because, this is his chance!


    With a steady pace, Liu Xiu went back to the yard, changed his clothes and went to the hall.


    Liu Xiugang went to the door of the hall, provocative words came from the hall: "third brother is also 18 years old, it''s time to be sensible. Lu Su''s visit today is very important. Why do you still slip out to play in the morning? "


    The speaker is about twenty years old, erudite and romantic.


    This person is Liu Cong.


    Facing Liu Cong, Liu Xiu said: "it''s still early. What''s the second brother''s hurry? My father ordered me to take part in the meeting. When my father didn''t speak, my second brother yelled and scolded. Could my second brother take the place of my father? "


    Liu Cong clapped his case and said angrily, "what did you say?"


    For the first time, Liu Xiu dared to refute his words, which made Liu Cong angry.


    Liu Xiu looked at Liu Cong with a sneer in his heart. After inheriting Jingzhou, he surrendered to Cao Cao and became Cao Cao''s cage bird.In the face of Liu Cong, Liu Xiu did not have the slightest fear, said: "second brother is only 20 years old, hearing and seeing, can''t you hear me clearly."


    "You Well, we''ll see. "


    Liu Cong''s face is fierce, and he already has a deep hatred in his heart. He thought, when Lu Su''s affair is over, I''ll see how I deal with you. A common son is provoking, and he''s looking for death.


    "Two younger brothers, three younger brothers, don''t fight. They''re all family. Why bother?"


    In the first place on the left side of the hall, a tall, gentle young man spoke.


    This person is Liu Qi.


    Liu Xiu sighs when he sees Liu Qi. Liu Qi chooses to believe in Liu Bei, but he is eaten so much that there are no bones left. He seeks skin with a tiger, and it is Liu Qi who is hurt.


    Liu Xiu glanced at Liu Cong, arched his hand and said, "elder brother, you are right. What is the ability to fight in a den? If you have the courage, you can bully Su Lu su."


    Liu Cong said angrily, "Liu Xiu, what do you say?"


    Liu Xiu sighed: "it seems that the second elder brother is really ill, and he is still very ill."


    Liu Qi sees two people tit for tat, persuade a way again: "father is about to arrive, you each step back. It''s not good to be seen by my father. "


    Liu Cong hummed and stopped talking, but his anger was rising.


    Liu Xiu took advantage of the slope and sat with his eyes closed.


    "Mr. Zhou Mu is here!"


    Not long after, there was a servant''s voice outside the hall.


    Under the glow of the sun, Liu Biao came with great strides. He was nearly 70 years old, and he was already very weak, with dense age spots on his face. In order to maintain the spirit, Liu Biao contains a small piece of ginseng in his mouth, and his spirit is very good.


    Liu Xiu rose to greet Liu Qi and Liu Cong with calm eyes, as if seeing a stranger. Born but not raised, raised but not taught, this is his father Liu Biao.


    After Liu Biao took his seat, the generals of Jingzhou entered the hall and took their seats in turn.


    "The envoy of Jiangdong is here!"


    Outside the hall, the servant''s loud voice of singing promise sounded again.


    "Da! Dada


    Steady footstep, from far to near.


    Lu Su, wearing a Jinxian crown and a big black shirt, strode forward. He is more than eight feet tall. He has a national face. His eyes are solemn and dignified.


    Behind Lu Su, there were two warriors.


    Walking into the hall, Lu Su arched his hand and said, "Lu Su, Jiangdong captain, meet Liu Jingzhou."


    Liu Biao was not pleased to see that Lu Su was not polite, but he was not angry. He said in a deep voice, "what''s the matter with the visit of Lu Xiaowei?"


    Lu Su replied, "to Liu Jingzhou, I hope sun and Liu will stop fighting and become friends."


    Liu Biao said coldly: "the person who started the war has always been Sun Quan."


    Lu Su seemed very calm and said, "Liu Jingzhou, forgive me, my Lord is fighting because his father''s Revenge has not been avenged and he can''t sleep all night. As long as Liu Jingzhou hands over Huang Zu, the sun and Liu families will be repaired and Jiangdong and Jingzhou will be ruled by the river and live in peace. "


    Liu Biao brushed his sleeve and said in a cold voice: "absolutely impossible!"


    Huang Zu is Liu Biao''s confidant general, who is in charge of Jiangxia gate. Liu Biao can''t break his arm.


    Lu Su is not anxious, way: "this is really not easy to do ah!"


    Liu Biao was very unhappy and waved: "go back and tell Sun Quan to fight."


    Lu Su''s eyes seemed to be a little flustered, and even said: "Liu Jingzhou calm down, so, Jiangdong sends a young general to challenge the younger generation of Jingzhou. Jingzhou won, our Lord strike peace. If Jiangdong wins by chance, please ask Liu Jingzhou to make Huang Zu apologize. In this way, the two families are still fighting for a while. "


    Liu Xiu clenched his fist and his eyes narrowed.


    Others don''t know Lu Su''s purpose, but Liu Xiu knows it very well.


    First, Lu Su took the opportunity to challenge the younger generation in Jingzhou to humiliate Liu Biao; second, Sun Quan took the initiative to show weakness to deliberately paralyze Liu Biao.


    After the two sides strike, Sun Quan will wait for the opportunity to launch a fatal attack, killing Huang Zu and seizing Jiang Xia.


    Liu Biao didn''t know Sun Quan''s intention. After hearing Lu Su''s words, he thought Sun Quan was afraid, so he took the initiative to show weakness. Liu Biao was in a good mood and waved: "I grant your request. Who will you send to play?"

 Chapter 2

    "I''m sun Ren. Please give me some advice."


    The young Samurai in black took a step and saluted.


    Sun Ren is in his early seven feet, not tall; he is thin and not strong; he is weak and not masculine. As soon as he came out, the faces of Jingzhou officials all showed a smile.


    Is it such goods under Sun Quan''s account?


    With a smile on his face, Liu asked again, "Captain Lu, do you really send sun Ren to fight?"


    Lu Su took a look at Sun Ren, frowned slightly, and immediately stretched out. A faint smile hung on his resolute cheek. He said without hesitation: "the young general of Jiangdong is for sun Ren, please ask Liu Jingzhou for advice."


    The tone was calm, but confident.


    Liu Xiu stares at Sun Ren without slightest contempt.


    In the memory of his past life, it was Sun Ren who defeated the younger generation under Liu Biao and made Liu Biao lose face.


    Liu Biao looked around at all the people in the hall and asked, "who is willing to fight?"


    "State herdsman Cai Wei, please fight!"


    Cai Wei is less than 20 years old and is Cai Mao''s nephew. He has a good appearance, his eyes are bright and bright, and he looks at Sun Ren with great ambition.


    Liu Biao nodded and said, "yes!"


    Cai Wei went to the hall, drew out his sword, arched his hand and said, "please!"


    "Please"


    with a low drink, sun Ren''s sword came out of its sheath and pierced through the air.


    Facing sun Ren''s sword, Cai Wei is very calm, does not hide does not avoid, raises the sword to welcome. Two people fight in the hall, the footstep moves, the sword light flickers, for a time the battle is extremely fierce.


    Liu Biao looked in his eyes, nodded slightly, and showed a smile at the corner of his mouth.


    At this time, sun Renjian divided Yin and Yang and swept with one sword.


    "Dang!"


    When the iron sword collides with Cai Wei''s long sword, a powerful force bursts out and swings away Cai Wei''s long sword. The next moment, sun Ren bullied himself and attacked suddenly.


    Lean body close to sunren, a punch out.


    "Pa!"


    Fist, hit Cai Wei''s chest.


    Powerful and violent power erupted from the fist.


    Cai Wei screamed, and his big body flew out. Then he fell to the ground and couldn''t get up any more.


    Sun Ren did not continue to entangle, stepped back, arched his hand and said: "accept!"


    This scene made Liu Biao''s smile froze and embarrassed. At one moment, he was complacent about Cai Wei''s martial arts. At the next moment, Cai Wei had already failed and had no strength to fight back.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were shining.


    When Cai Wei fights with sun Ren, he can see clearly that sun Ren is not only good at swordsmanship, but also good at close combat. With his right hand, he fought with a sword. When his left hand approached Cai Wei, he hit Cai Wei''s chest with a fist. His skill, time and strength were all well grasped.


    For a moment, the hall was quiet.


    Liu Biao''s morale is extremely low.


    Instead of being aggressive, Lu Su said slowly, "who else under Liu Jingzhou is willing to fight? If there is no one, please ask Liu Jingzhou to order Huang Zu to apologize. "


    Liu''s surface was as deep as water and said, "who dares to fight?"


    The voice fell, but no one responded, which made Liu look embarrassed on the surface.


    "Father, son, fight."


    Liu Cong got up, and his eyes were determined to win.


    "Sure!"


    Liu Biao nodded slightly, and his son was reliable at the critical moment.


    Liu Xiu noticed Liu Biao''s look and sneered in his heart. Liu Biao held great hope for his second son Liu Cong, but he didn''t know that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. He clearly remembered how ridiculous Liu Biao''s wilting look was after the failure of Liu Cong in the last life.


    Liu Cong took off his robe and went to the hall with his sword in his hand


    Sun Ren said contemptuously, "please first!"


    Liu Cong is very angry. You look down on me. Let me kneel down and beg for mercy.


    With a low drink, Liu Cong took a sword flower and handed it out. The sharp point of the Sword Pierced sun Ren''s face. The sword stabbed, but Sun Ren did not hide, his head slightly deflected, to avoid Liu Congzhi''s inevitable sword.


    Liu Cong roared, angry, the sword suddenly cut, straight to sun Ren''s neck.


    "It''s boring!"


    Sun Ren sighed. He moved under his feet. He was already avoiding lightning.


    Liu Cong didn''t meet sun Ren for two consecutive swords. He said angrily, "if you have the ability, don''t avoid it. Fight openly."


    Sun Ren said: "it''s boring to fight with you."


    "Kill


    Low cheering, but like a golden horse roaring. The majestic spirit of killing and cutting broke out from sun Ren. That is not tall, not strong, not masculine body, but it is imposing.


    Liu Cong''s heart trembled and his sword slowed down.


    "Withdraw the sword!"


    Liu Cong''s sword again.


    "Dang!"


    As soon as the metal and iron hit each other, sparks splashed everywhere, and Liu Cong''s sword fell to the ground. The sword in sun Ren''s hand has already pointed to Liu Cong''s throat. As long as the tip of the sword enters another three points, it will pierce Liu Cong''s throat.Gudong!


    Liu Cong swallowed his saliva and was sweating on his forehead.


    Sun Ren''s cold face suddenly began to smile. In an instant, it was like a spring breeze blowing on his face, and his cold and awe inspiring momentum dissipated. His eyes were soft and he asked, "Liu Cong, can you be convinced?"


    Liu Cong nodded and said, "I give up!"


    Liu Cong shuddered at the thought of fighting with sun Ren. In the past, he also competed with Cai Wei and others, and always won easily. Today, he was defeated by sun Ren, which made Liu Cong lose heart.


    Lu Su''s face was even more smiling. He asked again, "Liu Jingzhou, Cong Gongzi is defeated. Is there any other candidate?"


    Liu Biao, with a black face, glared at Liu Cong and glanced at others. Among the generals here, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Wen pin and Huang Zhong are veteran generals in the army. They are too old to fight. Among the younger generation of generals, Cai Wei is the only one who is relatively outstanding, but Cai Wei is defeated, and the other younger generation dare not go forward.


    Lu Su looked calm and said, "if there is no one under Liu Jingzhou''s account, please ask Liu Jingzhou to order Huang Zu to apologize."


    Liu Biao did not answer Lu Su and asked again, "who will fight for him?"


    "Father, my son is willing to fight."


    A loud voice resounded through the hall.


    They followed the voice and looked at Liu Xiu. Seeing Liu Xiu standing up, many people''s eyes were puzzled. They didn''t know Liu Xiu at all. After asking, they knew that Liu Xiu was Liu Biao''s third son.


    Liu Cong returned to his seat and said sarcastically, "third brother, I can''t do it. You can''t do it even if you go up. Don''t be shameful."


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, a cold color flashed by.


    In front of everyone, Liu Cong is still so arrogant, which makes Liu Xiu disgusted. It''s better not to be such a second brother.


    Liu Biao recognized Liu Xiu and said tentatively, "are you sure you want to fight?"


    In a word, it shows Liu Biao''s suspicion.


    Liu Cong asked for a fight, and Liu Biao simply approved it. When Liu Xiu arrived, Liu Biao didn''t give him any trust. This is the father son feeling Liu Biao gave him. Liu Xiu pressed down the resentment in his heart and said calmly, "if you fail, you are willing to be punished."


    "Don''t think too much of yourself!"


    Liu Cong turned his lips and didn''t pay attention to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Biao had no choice, and when Liu Xiu said that, he nodded and said, "take care of yourself!"


    Liu Xiu went to the center of the hall, put his sword out of the sheath and said, "please!"


    Sun Ren frowned with solemn eyes.


    In the face of Liu Xiu, sun Ren suddenly had a feeling that he couldn''t tell the truth. The other side''s body is thin and tall, and his eyes are calm, but it makes him feel very dangerous and strange.


    "Please


    Sun Ren didn''t want to be big. He made a sword formula, and the sword in his hand had already been pierced.


    The sword''s point broke through the air, and there was a sharp howling sound. It was as fast as lightning.


    All the people in the hall changed their colors. According to the analysis of the sword just now, sun Ren didn''t do his best when he played against Cai Wei and Liu Cong, and his ability now is his real strength.

 Chapter 3

    Liu Xiu looked the same and stood still.


    This scene makes people in Jingzhou more nervous.


    Liu Cong said with a sneer and disdain in his eyes: "it''s clear that he won''t do anything, but he has to challenge by force. Hum, in order to show my face in front of my father, I''m so scared and stupid now. It''s a shame


    Liu Biao was also sulky and unhappy.


    Huang Zhong and wenpin are masters of martial arts. They have excellent martial arts skills and extraordinary vision. When they saw Liu Xiu''s state, their eyes twinkled. In their eyes, Liu Xiu is not frightened by sun Ren, but uses static braking. The huge self-confidence of the eyes, and the calm posture, like a cheetah waiting for an opportunity.


    The point of the sword was less than one foot away from Liu Xiu.


    Suddenly, the sword in Liu Xiu''s hand moved.


    One sword stabs flat, slightly higher than sun Ren''s sword. It''s flat and has nothing special.


    It seems that there is a danger in sun Ren''s heart when he puts down the sword. The sword in his hand suddenly thrust at Liu Xiu''s chest again.


    Suddenly, sun Ren''s eyes were fixed.


    Wang Yan clenched the handle of the sword and shook it violently.


    When the power reached the tip of the sword, the thin tip of the sword went up like a fish wagging its tail.


    In the blink of an eye, the point of the sword is down.


    Sun Ren didn''t know what he meant, but he didn''t care because his sword was six inches close to Liu Xiu''s chest.


    Pop!


    With a crisp sound, the blade at the tip of the sword struck on Sun Ren''s wrist.


    This force is not heavy, but the moment it strikes on Sun Ren''s wrist, sun Ren''s wrist is as numb as lightning, and his sword clangs down.


    Sun Ren''s offensive completely disappeared.


    Liu Xiu took a step back and said, "I''ve accepted it!"


    Sun Ren stood in the same place and said, "it''s impossible. How can I fail?" Looking at Liu Xiu, sun Ren asked in a loud voice, "did you use witchcraft?"


    "If you win, you win with dignity. Now you lose, it is the third son who has used the magic. What''s the reason? As a warrior, you don''t even have the courage to admit defeat? "


    Huang Zhong''s eyes were sharp and fierce, and he rushed to sun Renyong.


    Sun Ren encountered this murderous spirit, his heart trembled, afraid and frightened.


    "Huang Hansheng, what is the ability to bully children?" Another warrior standing behind Lu Su stepped out and stood in front of sun Ren. Huang Zhong''s intention to kill completely subsided.


    Huang Zhong snorted and stopped meddling.


    When sun Ren and Liu Xiu met just now, Huang Zhong saw the way.


    Liu Xiu''s mastery of swordsmanship can be regarded as superb. He found a new way with one sword and easily defeated sun Ren.


    Sun Ren asked again, "Liu Xiu, did you cheat just now?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were sharp, and he said, "cheat? What a joke! Your sword has only its shape, but not its spirit. Do you think you really can''t afford it? "


    Sun Ren said in a deep voice: "I have been practicing sword since I was a child. I have been practicing in summer and winter. You mean, my sword is just a show? "


    The fury came from the bottom of sun Ren''s heart.


    More than ten years of efforts have been denied by three or two sentences, and I am dissatisfied.


    Liu xiudao: "in fact, it needs talent to practice sword."


    "First of all, your swordsmanship seems to be murderous, but you have never been to the battlefield, and your sword is more feminine, so it is difficult to have a real powerful killing. As the saying goes, the heaven sends out the killing machine, and the stars move to the destination; the earth sends out the killing machine, and the dragon and the snake land; the man sends out the killing machine, and the heaven and the earth repeat. The real swordsmanship, a sword out, diffuse killing will be enough to make heaven and earth repeatedly


    "Second, your swordsmanship is flexible on the surface, but in fact it lacks spirituality. The real coincidence is that it''s too clever to be clumsy. It''s not that you jump around with your sword and make people laugh. That''s the great God, not the best sword. "


    "Third, if the sword doesn''t come out, it will move like thunder. Your sword is as fast as lightning on the surface, but it has no surface. It''s hard to measure the power of a sword. "


    "Fourth, your sword seems calm, but not calm enough. If you are a little bit agitated, the sword moves will be scattered and no longer calm. "


    Liu Xiu waved his big sleeve and said, "your sword is far away. If Jiangdong sends out a warrior like you in an attempt to provoke Jingzhou, it''s killing a stone with an egg. Even if there are ten more like you, I will easily beat you. Today''s lesson, I hope you do it yourself. "


    "Good!"


    Liu Biao stroked his beard under his jaw with excited eyes.


    Liu Xiu''s words attacked sun Ren for nothing and made Liu Biao take a bad breath.


    Jingzhou civil and military, but also look excited.


    Sun Ren was dazed, and his eyes showed an incredible look. All of a sudden, sun Ren pushed down the golden mountain and bowed his hands to the jade pillars. He said with sincerity: "I''ll learn from you, sun Renming. I won''t be wronged if I lose." Sun Ren has long been aware of the bottleneck of his own swordsmanship. Liu Xiu pointed out to the point, let sunren really understand.Liu Xiu nodded slightly and went back to his seat.


    In terms of swordsmanship, Liu Xiu is definitely a great master.


    In his previous life, Liu Xiu, who had been subordinated to Cao Cao, ignored government affairs in order to avoid suspicion and turned to learn swordsmanship. At that time, Liu Xiu learned swordsmanship from Deng Zhan, the master of swordsmanship in Nanyang, and Shi a, the master of swordsmanship in Luoyang. Because of his self-protection, Liu Xiu has always hidden himself and never revealed his swordsmanship.


    Lu Su sighed that this time he failed, he lost the opportunity for Huang Zu to apologize.


    However, the purpose of the mission to Jingzhou is to paralyze Liu Biao, but it''s nothing to admit defeat. Immediately, Lu Su said: "Liu Jingzhou, Jiangdong lost, willing to accept defeat. After I return, the Lord will strike and make peace, and will not invade Jingzhou again. "


    Liu Biao was happy and said lightly: "I hope you can keep your promise!"


    Lu Su also said: "Liu Jingzhou is located in the nine counties of Jingxiang. His son is also excellent in swordsmanship. He is really a tiger father without a dog."


    Liu Biao said modestly: "Lu Xiaowei''s praise is wrong!"


    Lu Su''s words changed, and suddenly said, "I admire you for your outstanding ability and martial arts. Instead of burying your talents in Jingzhou, you''d better go to Jiangdong as a guest, and my Lord will surely meet you. "


    When Liu Xiu appeared on the stage, Lu Su saw that the relationship among Liu Xiu, Liu Cong and Liu Biao was not harmonious.


    A word implies provocation.


    After hearing this, Liu Cong breathed fire in his eyes and clenched his fist, hoping to swallow Liu Xiu''s life. Because in Lu Su''s eyes, there was only Liu Xiu, not Liu Cong.


    Liu Biao''s expression is also slightly gloomy. Liu Xiu is his son. How can he go to Jiangdong?


    Liu Xiu chuckled and replied, "Mr. Zijing''s kindness is in Liu Xiu''s heart. Please rest assured that in the future, Liu Xiu will surely set foot in Jiangdong and personally lead his troops to Jiangdong as a guest. "


    The expression on Liu Biao''s face suddenly changed, and he said with a smile, "well said!"


    Lu Su said with a smile, "young master Xiu, you are so elegant


    However, Lu Su''s heart, a burst of regret. He wanted to stir things up, but he didn''t expect Liu Xiu to take advantage of the situation. Instead, he said that he wanted Ma to step on Jiangdong, which turned the situation around. His talent and quick thinking made Lu Su praise him secretly.


    He simply arched his hand and said: "Jiangdong has something important to deal with, so I won''t bother you. Goodbye


    "Take your time, no see off!"


    Liu Biao waved and watched Lu Su, sun Ren and others leave.


    After Lu Su and others left, Liu Cong jumped out again and said: "the third brother''s swordsmanship is superior. Why didn''t he come on earlier? If you beat sun Ren earlier, your father won''t have to worry. "


    In a word, Liu Xiu sneered. It seems that Liu Cong is determined to fight with him.


    Look at Liu Biao''s look again, as expected, the smile disappeared, a little gloomy.


    Liu Biao''s character, if not explained clearly, will let Liu Biao hate in the heart.


    Liu Xiumian with a smile, said: "the second brother is wrong, it''s not that I deliberately don''t play, it''s because I don''t know sun Ren''s swordsmanship, I don''t dare to play rashly."


    Liu Cong hummed: "sophistry!"


    Liu Xiu calculated that Liu Cong would ask, and said: "in the art of war, knowing oneself and the enemy is the best way to win a hundred battles. Only when I know sun Ren''s situation, can I make a reasonable judgment. If you rashly rush to challenge and fail, you will lose not only your own face, but also your father''s face, as well as the face of Jingzhou. "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "as a son of man, it is necessary to share the worries for his father. However, if you are hot and act rashly, it is the courage of every man. "


    The corner of Liu Cong''s mouth twitches. This is to point at mulberry and curse locust. He deliberately scolds him. But Liu Cong thought about it. For a moment, he couldn''t find any words to refute it, and his heart was choked.


    When Liu Biao heard the speech, he looked appreciative.


    Liu Xiu was confident in his eyes and continued: "my father has always taught us to read, because only by reading can we be reasonable and act rationally. The art of war says, "the Lord can''t be angry and start a division, and he can''t be angry and start a war." that''s why we should deal with it calmly. That''s also the truth. "


    Liu Cong snorted, determined not to speak.


    Huang Zhong''s eyes were full of admiration, and he said: "my Lord has such a beautiful girl, which is enviable."


    Cai Mao looked at the angry Liu Cong and said, "the third son defeated sun Ren. Jiangdong was subdued. The minister congratulated the Lord." Cai Mao stood on Liu Cong''s side, but Liu Xiu dealt with it properly. Coupled with Huang Zhong''s words, Cai Mao could not belittle Liu Xiu.


    The rest of the civil and military people congratulated Liu Biao one after another.


    For a moment, the hall was full of praise. Liu Biao''s face was full of smile and pride. He completely forgot that he had never educated Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 4

    April day, sunny, is the time to travel.


    Liu Xiu, dressed in a clean and ordinary long shirt, left the prefecture and walked out of the city. After Lu Su left Xiangyang, Liu Xiu met Liu Biao again, and then he never saw Liu Biao again. During this period, Liu Cong somehow did not come to trouble.


    Liu xiule had a leisure time. According to his plan, he practiced martial arts every day to strengthen his body, read and practice calligraphy.


    Out of the city, Liu Xiu went to mount lumen.


    In Liu Xiu''s memory, lumen mountain is the place where Pang Degong, Sima Hui and others lived in seclusion. If he is lucky enough to meet Mr. pound or other people, he can pull in the relationship between the two sides.


    Out of the city, he walked less than wulishan road. When he passed a village, Liu Xiu saw dozens of people gathered at the entrance of the village.


    "Be careful. Place carefully. Don''t touch your leg."


    "Don''t move, pain can''t move, put all the injured people flat."


    The voice of profound and refined, spread out in the crowd.


    Liu Xiu went over and found that there were about ten big men on the ground. Everyone''s legs were hurt and in agony. All the children and women standing around were sad.


    In the crowd, an old man with a clear face squatted on the ground, treating and directing at the same time.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu took the initiative to go inside.


    "Let''s all give way. I know the medical skills. I''ll help."


    It is the so-called martial arts medicine does not separate, martial arts skilled people, mostly skilled in medicine. Because people who practice martial arts are always bumpy and often fight. It is impossible for them to seek medical treatment when they are injured. More often, it''s self-treatment. As time goes by, people who practice martial arts are no worse than ordinary doctors.


    After Liu Xiu went in, he squatted down and examined the injured area carefully.


    The old man looked up at Liu Xiu and nodded his head. He stopped talking and concentrated on treating the injured.


    After Liu Xiu finished checking, he was relieved.


    More than ten people lying on the ground were blunted on their legs, most of their bones were broken, and they did not completely break the bones. After a little treatment, it can recover itself.


    Liu asked the villagers to prepare wood and linen, then skillfully connect the bone for the injured, and then fix the injured leg with numbness and wood. He is skilled in movement, and the strength of bone connection is just right. After the staggered leg bone is connected and fixed, the pain of the injured person will be much easier. The immediate treatment made the surrounding villagers relax a lot.


    At first, the villagers saw that Liu Xiu was young, and some doubted his medical skills. However, seeing Liu Xiu''s skillful appearance, he was quite calm. When the people treated by Liu Xiu had obviously improved, the villagers'' eyes were full of gratitude.


    Under the treatment of Liu Xiu and the old man, half an hour later, all the injured people were bandaged.


    Liu Xiu rubbed his waist, stood up and said, "it''s a hundred days since I hurt my muscles and bones, especially the leg bone of my leg. After going back, drink more bone soup to make the broken and injured bones heal earlier. "


    The villagers expressed their gratitude.


    The old man also prescribed herbal medicine to the villagers and asked them to fry herbal medicine to wipe the injured leg bones.


    At this time, the old man looked at Liu Xiu and said with a smile, "little Lang Jun is young, but he is very skilled in medicine. I don''t know who Xiao Langjun learned from? "


    Liu Xiu replied, "the old man is ridiculous. I''ve been thinking about it blindly. It''s not worth mentioning."


    The old man thought that Liu Xiu didn''t intend to say it, so he didn''t ask.


    Seeing the old man''s look, Liu Xiu knew that the other party didn''t believe him. Liu Xiu also didn''t explain, diverged from the topic: "boy Liu Xiu, dare to ask the old man''s name?"


    The old man replied, "old Zhang Ji!"


    Surprised, Liu Xiu asked: "dare to ask, but Nanyang Zhang Zhongjing?"


    Zhang Zhongjing said: "it''s the old man!"


    Liu Xiu was very happy. It''s no exaggeration to say that Zhang Zhongjing was one of the most successful people in medicine at the end of Han Dynasty. North Huatuo, South Zhangji. Hua Tuo was good at surgery, mainly in the north. Zhang Zhongjing was good at internal medicine, mainly in the south.


    Liu Xiu was also pleasantly surprised to meet Zhang Zhongjing.


    Liu xiudao: "I''ve heard about Zhong Jinggong''s medical Masterpieces for a long time. I''m very lucky to see them today."


    Zhang Zhongjing said modestly, "my husband has praised me falsely. My medical skills are also superb."


    Liu Xiu explained: "Mr. Zhong Jing really misunderstood. Because of practicing martial arts, I am very familiar with the situation of traumatic injuries and know how to treat them. If it''s typhoid vomiting, I''m at a loss. "


    Seeing that Liu Xiu didn''t look fake, Zhang Zhongjing nodded and believed Liu Xiu''s words.


    At this time, an old man with white hair and beard came up and said gratefully, "I''m the patriarch here. Thanks for your help. I''ve arranged a simple meal for the two great doctors


    Zhang Zhongjing is just passing by, not a special treatment. Wen Yu wanted to give a banquet to thank him, but Zhang Zhongjing immediately declined.


    Wen Yu turned his eyes and looked at Liu Xiu again. However, Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Zhongjing again. For Liu Xiu, it''s OK to stay or not. If Zhang Zhongjing stays, he will naturally stay with him. If Zhang Zhongjing doesn''t stay, he won''t either.Wen Yu understood that Liu Xiu''s opinions were mainly Zhang Zhongjing''s, so he tried every means to persuade him.


    When the villagers saw this, they tried to persuade them.


    They invited each other warmly, but Zhang Zhongjing refused, so he had to stay for dinner. Wen Yu was so happy that he told the villagers to go to the village with Zhang Zhongjing and Liu Xiu.


    There are not many people in Wenjia village, but they are united. Especially after Zhang Zhongjing and Liu Xiu have cured the injured people, the old and young in the village are more enthusiastic, and their faces are full of gratitude.


    After five dishes, people chat with each other.


    Zhang Zhongjing is not good at words. He always answers questions. Then he smiles and says nothing.


    However, Liu Xiu was curious and asked, "patriarch, people in the village were injured on their legs. It doesn''t look like a natural disaster, it''s more like a man-made disaster. What is the reason that more than ten people are injured in their legs? "


    When Zhang Zhongjing heard the speech, he was also curious. Thinking of the injured patient, Zhang Zhongjing was a little angry. The good man was given a discount on his leg for at least a few months, which was too cruel.


    Wen Yu sighed lightly: "it''s all because of the water."


    "Water?"


    There was a trace of doubt in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    Wen Yu explained: "to the east of the village, there is a river. Because of this year''s spring drought, the upstream Li village built a dam on the river, which cut off the water supply to the village. The people in the village did not agree, so they went to Li village to study. In the end, there was a dispute between the two sides. Ding Buwang, a native of our village, didn''t go to many places. In the end, they were all caught by the people of Li village, and then they gave back their legs at a discount. "


    "That''s ridiculous!"


    Zhang Zhongjing clapped the table, and his kind cheek showed an angry look.


    Liu Xiu thought carefully, and asked: "patriarch, there are many rivers in Xiangyang, there is no other river near the village?"


    Wen Yu shook his head and said, "Wen village doesn''t have one, but Li village has two. Well, after all, the people in Wen village are all from other places, not local people. "


    Zhang Zhongjing was even more furious, so he got up and said in a loud voice: "how can that be true? Li village is deceiving people too much. Patriarch Wen, I will accompany you to theory. If I don''t believe it, Li village can really cover the sky with one hand. Since Li village is rich in water, why bother the downstream people? "


    Wen Yu refused: "don''t worry about the old doctor. If you go, you will be involved."


    Zhang Zhongjing shook his head and insisted on going.


    Wen Yu didn''t want Zhang Zhongjing to be involved, so he was in a dilemma for a while.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu said with a smile, "patriarch, have a try. If it does, it can solve Wen village''s worries. Even if it doesn''t work out, think of another way. Moreover, not everyone can bully him. "


    Wen Yu sighed and said, "I''ll call the people in the village and walk again."

 Chapter 5

    Li village and Wen village, less than Wuli road.


    Wen Yu, together with Zhang Zhongjing and Liu Xiu, soon came to the entrance of Li village. When people in Li village saw that a group of people were coming fiercely, the people in the village were very nervous. They yelled everywhere, "the people in Wen village are coming, the people in Wen village are coming again."


    One voice after another spread all over Li village in an instant.


    A moment later, a group of big men came out of the village, all of them fierce and murderous.


    The leader is in his early 40s, tall and powerful.


    Li Yuan is the head of Li village. Under his leadership, Li village is becoming more and more prosperous. Up to now, there are nearly 50 households in Li village, which can be called prosperous. Seeing Wen Yu bringing people, Li Yuan said with a sneer, "I''ve beaten the small one, but I''ve come to the old one. Old man Wen, are you going to war? "


    Wen Yu said: "if the people in the clan are beaten, they will always ask for an explanation."


    Li Yuan laughed, disdaining: "it''s the matter. Alas, today''s matter is that I didn''t restrain my son-in-law. They didn''t do anything important. I''m here to apologize to you. Thank you very much. "


    "You..."


    Wen Yu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. Li Yuan was too shameless.


    With a few words, he shirked his responsibility.


    In his eyes, Liu Xiu said that Li Yuan was a character. Regardless of the positions of both sides, Li Yuan is the most difficult person to deal with.


    Zhang Zhongjing couldn''t see it any more. He stepped out and said in a loud voice: "chief Liyuan, I heard that there are two rivers running through Li village. There is no water shortage in the village. In this case, why is Wen village in trouble? We are all neighbors. Why bother! "


    Li Yuan eyes a Lin, way: "who are you?"


    Zhang Zhongjing replied: "Zhang Ji, an old man in Nanyang, is just a doctor who can cure and save people."


    Liu Xiu shook his head, and Li Yuan such a slippery contest, the introduction, how to appear fierce on how to introduce. Zhang Zhongjing introduces himself as a doctor. Li Yuan naturally decides Zhang Zhongjing.


    Sure enough, Li Yuan sneered: "old man, have you heard about Li village?"


    "What''s the matter?" Zhang Zhongjing asked


    Liu Xiu shook his head again. In a few words, Li Yuan mastered the rhythm, and Zhang Zhongjing was bound to lose.


    Li Yuan''s eyes were calm and said: "every year, people who like to meddle in affairs come to Li village to fight against injustice. In the end, without exception, they are beaten away with a broken leg. Has Wen Yu told you about this? "


    "You are so fierce. What''s the difference between you and thieves?"


    Zhang Zhongjing''s face turned red with anger. He was kind-hearted and kind-hearted. He had never seen such a ferocious man as Li Yuan.


    Wen Yu sighs that it is impossible to rely on Wenjia village to solve the water problem. Wen Yu stepped forward and said, "Doctor Zhang, Li Yuan is just a killer. He is unreasonable and unreasonable. Let''s go!"


    Zhang Zhongjing stubbornly shook his head, he said: "I''m standing here in broad daylight. I don''t believe him. I dare to do it."


    Li Yuan a listen, immediately smile, "old man, you are very interesting, very brave." He looked back at the people in the village and said, "do you think I dare to do it?"


    "Dare


    "Clean up that old thing, rely on the old to sell the old, looking at it will be tiresome and uncomfortable."


    "Patriarch, if you don''t do it, it''s a girl."


    Li village people a burst of coaxing, voice words, make Zhang Zhongjing face more embarrassed.


    Since Zhang Zhongjing practised medicine, all the people he met have been polite. He has never met such a rude and savage person. He is also stubborn, knowing the danger, but not step back, said: "I''m standing here, you have the courage to do it."


    Li Yuan cold voice way: "old thing, seek death."


    As the voice fell, Li Yuan stepped close to Zhang Zhongjing and swung his right hand to him.


    People in Wen village couldn''t bear to see it.


    Wen Yu quickly asked the people in the village to help him. Anyway, Zhang Zhongjing should not be injured.


    Suddenly, a figure stepped out.


    "Pa!"


    A loud voice came out in the air.


    Zhang Zhongjing glared and found that he was not hurt. In front of him, a thin figure stood aloof. This figure, not bulky, not tall, but standing like a mountain.


    Liu Xiu grabs Li Yuan''s wrist and says faintly: "you have a mother, but no one will raise you. Didn''t your mother teach you how to be a man?"


    Li Yuan''s wrist was aching with a lot of strength.


    Li Yuan endured the pain and said in a deep voice: "this is a dispute between Li village and Wen village. Don''t make a mistake."


    Liu Xiu did not give up, said: "I only know that you intend to fight against zhongjinggong, which is not allowed." After a pause, Liu Xiu continued: "look at your look, you should be a veteran who retired from the army. You have some martial arts skills, but you bully the old and the weak. You even build dams to cut off the water for people downstream. Is that what a man should do? "


    Li Yuan''s eyes narrowed. The other side could see that he had joined the army. This insight was not simple.


    "Who, sir?" Li Yuan asked tentatively.Liu Xiu tone flat, way: "you don''t care who I am, just a word, put water!"


    Li Yuan said, "let go first!"


    Liu Xiu laughed and released his hand that grasped Li Yuan''s wrist.


    Li Yuan stepped back and shook his sore right hand. He looked at Liu Xiu with a trace of fear.


    Liu Xiu asked again, "chief Li, it''s time to release the water."


    Li Yuan''s eyes were cold, especially now that he got rid of Liu Xiu''s control, he was not afraid of Liu Xiu. He said in a deep voice, "if I don''t let go of the water, what can you do?"


    "Take care of you!"


    Liu Xiu chuckled and his eyes were full of banter.


    "Don''t think too much of yourself!"


    In a rage, Li Yuan clenched his fist with his right hand, and his burly body rushed directly to Liu Xiu.


    He knew that Liu Xiu''s strength was amazing, but Li Yuan firmly believed that Liu Xiu was young, had never been to the battlefield, had never killed anyone, and was inexperienced. Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu must be the one who suffered from the tough fight.


    The corner of Liu Xiu''s mouth rose, his eyes were awe inspiring, and he directly met him.


    In an instant, countless people exclaimed.


    People in Li village ridiculed Liu Xiu for his excessive efforts. People in Wen village are worried.


    In a flash, Li Yuan and Liu Xiu meet.


    Li Yuan mustered up his strength and smashed it fiercely.


    "Boom!"


    A dull sound, Li Yuan directly fell to the ground, face to the ground, fell a shit.


    This scene caused an uproar among countless people.


    The fierce and invincible Li Yuan was defeated. It''s incredible.


    After Liu Xiu stood still, he said, "chief Li, you are too stupid." When they were about to fight, Liu Xiu moved his body, staggered Li Yuan''s fist, and put his right foot in front of Li Yuan. Li Yuan''s spirit was focused on Liu Xiu, and he didn''t notice the situation at his feet. He was eager to move forward, and finally he was directly tripped on the ground.


    Li Yuan stood up, and his anger could not be suppressed.


    Knowing that Li Yuan would not give up, Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "all back!"


    Zhang Zhongjing and the people of Wen village quickly retreated far away.


    Liu Xiu hooked Li Yuan''s hand and said, "is the head of Li clan very angry and want to tear me up. I''ll give you a chance. Come on, let me abuse you once. "


    "Boast!"


    Li Yuan sneered, this time he learned, clenched his fist and slowly approached Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "I''m standing here. You don''t have to be careful. At least, you are the head of Li village. You are as timid as a mouse. It''s really humiliating to you. "


    "Kill


    Li Yuan heard the words and rushed out.


    This attack is like a fierce tiger coming down the mountain. It is fierce and full of killing intention.

 Chapter 6

    Liu Xiu drinks low, his right hand pinches his fist, and smashes it out with a gun.


    Li Yuan''s face was sneering, and the fight was not only a contest of martial arts, but also a contest of courage, will and momentum. Even though Liu Xiu''s martial arts and strength are better than others, he has been on the battlefield and killed people, so he is sure to win.


    Both sides pounced on each other and smashed their fists.


    "Death


    Li Yuan roared. Seeing that his fist was about to hit Liu Xiu''s hand, he was even more excited.


    The fist blasts out rapidly, hanging the wind, powerful and incomparable. But the fierce fist hit the air, did not hit Liu Xiu''s fist, the two fists were staggered.


    "It''s a trick!"


    Li Yuan''s heart exclaimed. He was stumbling at his feet, and he flew out in an instant.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan''s huge body plummeted to the ground, once again showing the picture of dog eating excrement.


    The cheek rubs against the ground fiercely, and the pain is endless.


    In a flash, there was laughter all around. People, including Li village, can''t help laughing when they see this scene. Li Yuan fell to the ground twice in a row and lost his face.


    Li Yuan stood up and glared at the people of Li village.


    In an instant, the people in Li village all shut up and kept smiling.


    Li Yuan looked at Liu Xiu and said, "you don''t promise. Just now, you said that you would have a fair fight."


    Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said seriously: "you used to be a soldier in the army. Don''t you know anything about the common sense of the art of war? How can I tell you everything? Besides, what''s the reason that you want me to stand up and let you fight when you attack me? Is it because your brain has been kicked by a donkey? Alas, I don''t understand how you became the head of Li village with such intelligence. "


    The harsh words made Li Yuan more angry.


    Li Yuan clenched his fist and said: "boy, you are finished. Today, I will make your life worse than death. Come on, take Laozi''s knife! "


    Holding the sword at his waist, Liu Xiu said, "the nature of moving weapons is different. You have to think about it clearly."


    Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "I don''t kill people, I just deal with you."


    Li Yuan is not clear about Liu Xiu''s words and manners. As long as we don''t kill Liu Xiu and teach him a lesson, even if Liu Xiu''s family comes to him, he has reason to prevaricate. If Liu Xiu had no background, he would not be afraid.


    Soon after, the villagers handed over an iron back knife.


    With a knife in hand, Li Yuan''s temperament is more murderous, which makes people scared.


    Don''t worry, Doctor Liu Things are getting out of control, and Wen Yu has lost his confidence.


    Liu Xiu waved and said, "patriarch, just stand by and watch."


    "Come on, let me see your knife skill."


    Liu Xiu''s temperament changed with his sword coming out of the sheath and his sword in his hand.


    Li Yuan was in a trance for a moment, and soon recovered.


    "Boy, look at the knife!"


    Iron back knife swung, sharp blade across the air, a move to split Huashan, rapid fall. The shining light of the sword is sharp and domineering, with the air of killing.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "a small skill of carving insects!"


    One step forward, Liu Xiu''s body suddenly approached Li Yuan.


    Clear sword light, suddenly flash.


    Ding!


    The point of the sword struck Li Yuan''s blade. At the next moment, a strong force burst out from the point of the sword, which made the blade tremble and changed the direction of cutting.


    As soon as they met, they retreated.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were sharp. He held a long sword in his hand and stepped on it. He took a sword flower and stabbed it out quickly.


    The light of the sword was like a rainbow, and in the blink of an eye, it came to Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan resisted with his sword, but as soon as he waved it, he found that Liu Xiu''s sword moves changed suddenly, and his sword power rose again. The sharp tip of the sword flashed away in the air and flashed across Li Yuan''s right wrist.


    Hiss!


    Li Yuan''s wrist ached, and his hand on the handle of the knife loosened. Immediately, Li Yuan quickly and forcefully grasped the handle of the knife.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were confident and calm. He waved his sword like a leisurely walk, and the body of the sword suddenly flapped.


    "Pa!"


    The body of the sword hit the body of the sword, and the fierce force broke out. The iron backed sword in Li Yuan''s hand was directly hit and flew out. Then, a sword light was fixed three inches in front of Li Yuan''s neck. The sharp edge of the sword made Li Yuan cold all over, and his face was even more frightening.


    After a short fight, Liu Xiu suppressed him to fight.


    Liu Xiu said: "you said, the sword tip forward three points, what will be the result?"


    The sharp point of the sword advanced slowly and approached Li Yuan''s throat.


    Li Yuan yelled, "stop, stop!"


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he stopped.


    Li Yuan was frightened, but after a moment of confusion, he quickly recovered his composure and said, "if you kill me, you can''t get out of Li village. Let me go right away. The contradiction between us is completely eliminated. "


    Because of Liu Xiu''s martial arts, Li Yuan simply softened.Liu Xiu said with regret: "up to now, you still don''t realize it. You still think you are right. You really don''t need to clean up!"


    Li Yuan snorted, determined that Liu Xiu did not dare to do anything with him.


    Liu Xiu said, "at first, you asked me who I was? Now, I tell you. My son''s surname is Liu and his name is Xiu. He is the third son of Mu Liubiao in Jingzhou. You, a little clan leader, attacked Jingzhou Mu''s son with a knife. My son killed you by mistake for protecting himself. Will Xiangyang County officials punish me? "


    Brush!


    Li Yuan''s face became very pale.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were full of disbelief. The man in ordinary clothes was the third son of the prefecture. In this case, Li Yuan was not afraid. As Liu Xiu, it''s easy to kill him.


    Gudong!


    Li Yuan was afraid, and his confidence disappeared completely.


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Zhongjing again and continued: "do you know who the old man is? His family name is Zhang, his name is Ji, and his name is Zhang Zhongjing. The number of high-ranking officials treated by Zhong Jinggong is endless. As soon as he opens his mouth, there will be countless people who want to flatter him. You are a little patriarch, but you dare to fight against zhongjinggong. Do you want to die by yourself


    Li Yuan looked up at Zhang Zhongjing, cold sweat straight out, heart said how today so bad luck.


    I met an old doctor who was famous all over the world.


    Met a small, is the third son of the prefecture.


    Every one of them, he can''t provoke.


    Li Yuan''s face no longer has a trace of color, trembling: "the villain has eyes and doesn''t know Mount Tai, which offends Doctor Zhang and master Liu. Please spare me a lot. The villain immediately asked people to release water and compensate for medical expenses. "


    At this time, Li Yuan was worried that Liu Xiu would not agree to compromise.


    Liu xiudao: "in fact, if you don''t compensate or promise to release water, I have a way. Let Benli know that he has come to deal with the problem of building a dam. At the same time, I will ask the patriarch Wen to unite with the villagers who cut off the water in the lower reaches to ask for justice. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "there are many people in Li village. The people in Li village are fierce, but the people from all villages are coming. I''m afraid Li village can''t stop them."


    In Li Yuan''s eyes, a thick fear appeared.


    The man in front of him is too cruel. Every stratagem is aimed at him. It''s a complete intention to cut corners.


    Liu Xiu looked at Li Yuan''s face and knew that Li Yuan was subdued. His sword clanged into his sheath and said slowly, "what should I do? I''ll think about it for myself. As the saying goes, "a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. It is not a bad thing to help a close neighbor if we can."


    Li Yuan trembled: "the little one knows his mistake, the little one must correct it."


    "Da! "Da!"


    Suddenly, the sound of horse''s hooves came from far and near.


    A team of cavalry, coming at a gallop.


    In a moment, the visitor had arrived at the entrance of Li village.


    Seeing the visitor, Liu Xiu suddenly asked, "general Wen is in a hurry. What''s the matter?" The man who came was Jingzhou general wenpin. He came in person, which showed that something important must have happened.


    Li Yuan stands by and sees wenpin, so scared that his thighs are weak. Fortunately, he didn''t hurt Liu Xiu, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. When he joined the army in his early years, he saw wenpin. Now wenpin is coming, and Liu Xiu''s identity is confirmed.


    Wenpin turned over and got off the horse. He had a dignified face and said, "my Lord is seriously ill. Please go back to the mansion immediately."

 Chapter 7

    Liu Xiu looked worried and asked, "general Wen, what''s the matter with my father?"


    Wenpin said: "the specific situation of the Lord is unknown. In the future, the third young master will be invited. The second young master himself ordered it."


    When Liu Xiu heard that it was Liu Cong''s arrangement, he had music in his heart. After Lu Su left Xiangyang, Liu Cong has been suffering. Now Liu Biao is seriously ill. He suddenly asks wenpin to invite him. He must be choked with bad water and wants to take this opportunity to avenge himself.


    This time back to the government, it must be difficult.


    Liu Xiu looked at Wen pin and said, "general Wen, thank you very much."


    Wenpin''s expression is still Gujing bubo, said: "time is pressing, please go back to the house immediately." After that, Wen pin took a look at Wen Yu, nodded slightly and then withdrew his eyes.


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Zhongjing and said, "Mr. Zhongjing, I have something to ask for."


    Hearing that Liu Biao was seriously ill, Zhang Zhongjing understood Liu Xiu''s request, and said directly, "needless to say, I''ll go with you once."


    For Liu Xiu, Zhang Zhongjing is also very appreciative.


    If you meet the wounded on the road, you can take the initiative to help and have the benevolence of the doctor; if you meet the injustice on the road, you can help and have the chivalrous heart. In the face of a strong enemy, calm face, have the heart of a wise man.


    In Zhang Zhongjing''s opinion, Liu Xiu is a very good boy and is worth making friends with.


    "Thank you, Mr. Zhong Jing!"


    Liu Xiu was overjoyed and said, "Liyuan, prepare a carriage."


    "Little I''ll arrange it right away


    Li Yuan was a little trembling, so he asked the people in the village to prepare the carriage.


    Liu Xiubai pointed to Zhang Zhongjing and said, "general Wen, the old man is Nanyang Doctor Zhang Ji. My father is seriously ill, so I just asked Mr. Zhong Jing to give him a diagnosis and treatment. "


    Wenpin is a general in Jingzhou. He is well-informed and knows Zhang Zhongjing. In the face of such a miracle doctor as Zhang Zhongjing, wenpin didn''t dare to put on airs. He looked more respectful and said, "wenpin of Nanyang, I''ve met Mr. Zhongjing."


    Zhang Zhongjing said with a smile: "the general is polite!"


    With a polite reply, Wen pin stopped talking, but even so, Wen pin was very happy.


    Liu Xiu suddenly realized Zhang Zhongjing''s prestige in Jingzhou. It was his luck to meet Zhang Zhongjing in lumen mountain this time.


    In a short time, Li Yuan prepared his carriage.


    Liu Xiu asked Zhang Zhongjing to get on the carriage and another soldier with him to drive, saying: "Mr. Zhongjing, my father is seriously ill. The boy and general Wen will take the lead. The carriage is driven by soldiers and goes to the prefecture. How do you like it


    "Yes," said Zhang Zhongjing


    Instead of blaming Liu Xiu for his arrangement, Zhang Zhongjing appreciates it. His father was seriously ill. As a son, he was naturally anxious. Liu Xiu and wenpin took the first step, which reflected Liu Xiu''s filial piety.


    Liu Xiu turned over and went back with Wen pin.


    Along the way, neither of them spoke.


    At the same time, Liu Xiu and wenpin got off the horse.


    Wenpin just looked at Liu Xiu, with a smile on his stiff face, and said, "third young master, I''m going to thank you for what happened in Wencun."


    After that, wenpin left.


    Looking at wenpin''s back, Liu Xiu suddenly realized why wenpin''s reminder was ordered by Liu Cong.


    With Wen pin''s character, he won''t get involved in the fight between Liu Biao''s sons.


    The reason for the reminder lies in Wen village.


    When chatting with Wen Yu, Wen Yu mentioned that the people in Wen village had moved. In this way, Wencun is the clan of wenpin, but wenpin keeps a low profile and doesn''t let Wencun use wenpin''s reputation to do things. When wenpin was looking for Liu Xiu, he went to Wencun. He must have known what happened, and then he took care of Liu Xiu.


    Liu trimmed his clothes, stepped into the house, and then went straight to the back yard.


    All the way, the servant girls they met were all busy, and they looked even more frightened.


    When Liu Xiu came to Liu Biao''s bedroom, he had heard bursts of coughing, as well as the choking voices of CAI Shi, Liu Qi and Liu Cong. In the past, when Liu Biao was seriously ill, no one informed Liu Xiu, because he was unimportant.


    Liu Cong was arranged by others, but his mind was sinister.


    Liu Xiu stepped into the room and smelled a strong smell of medicine.


    On the bed, Liu Biao kept coughing, his eyes were dim, his face was waxy yellow, and his cheeks were covered with old age spots, which gave people a sense of hero''s twilight.


    "Father, the third brother is here."


    Liu Qi saw Liu Xiu come back, a burst of joy in his heart.


    Liu Cong raised his lips and immediately said, "father, the third brother has finally come back. You see, the third brother is back. "


    Compared with Liu Qi''s words, Liu Cong is a hidden talent. Liu Xiu finally came back, which means that Liu Xiu was not in the house, but came back from the outside. The father is seriously ill, and the son is free and happy.


    Sitting next to Liu Biao, Cai''s face was even more straight and said, "Xiuer, your father is seriously ill, but you are playing outside. Is there your father in your eyes? " The cold and sharp voice makes people feel cold."Help me up!"


    Liu Biao opened his eyes and said.


    Liu Cong, quick eyed and quick handed, quickly put a quilt on Liu Biao''s back and helped Liu Biao lean on the quilt.


    Liu Xiu knelt down in front of Liu Biao and said respectfully, "father, my son is late."


    Liu Xiu made no mention of Liu Cong and Cai''s difficulties.


    Liu Cong''s eyes were not good, his face was cold, and he said in a gloomy tone: "my third brother also knows that he''s late. Hum, my father is seriously ill, but you''re wandering outside. You''re really my father''s good son."


    Liu Qi face tangled, comfort way: "father, third brother outside, may be met with something."


    Liu Biao took a look at Liu Qi, and a trace of unhappiness appeared in his eyes. Immediately, Liu Biao''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu, which was vaguely disgusted. Before he heard Liu Cong say that Liu Xiu had gone out, he was very unhappy. As a son of man, he went out to play when his father was seriously ill. He had no filial piety, which made Liu Biao feel uncomfortable.


    Light cough two, Liu Biao pressure heart of affliction, ask a way: "repair son, talk about where?" The feeble voice, without the slightest warmth and incomparable coldness, made Liu Xiu''s heart grow without the slightest affection.


    Liu Xiuzao had a draft of his stomach, and he replied, "father, my son is not going out to play."


    "Oh, it''s not fun. What''s that?" Liu Cong interrupted.


    "At this time, you are still sophistry. It''s no use lying in front of your father," Chua snapped


    Liu Biao cold eyes, said: "did not go out to play, that is to do what?"


    Liu Xiu replied: "the son knew that his father''s body had been uncomfortable, so he thought about visiting a famous doctor to treat his father. During this period of time, the reason why my son often goes out is to ask for information. Yesterday afternoon, my son learned that Zhang Zhongjing, a miracle doctor, appeared near lumen mountain. So early this morning, my son went to visit him and wanted to ask him to treat his father. "


    Liu Cong said with disdain: "third brother, who can believe such a lie? Zhang''s whereabouts are uncertain, and no one can determine his position. You said you went to visit Doctor Zhang. Who will testify? The third brother is really a liar


    Liu Qi took a look at Liu Biao, thought about it, and said again, "father, the third brother has done his best."


    Liu Biao said, "shut up


    Liu Qi was scolded and looked at Liu Xiu apologetically.


    Standing on Liu Cong''s side, Cai immediately said, "husband, Xiuer is not good at it when he is young. This kind of temperament is very bad. It must be strictly disciplined. Otherwise, if you go out later, you will lose the face of the Liu family. "


    Liu Biao nodded slightly and agreed with CAI.


    Liu Xiu''s heart was cold. This was the father who gave birth to him and raised him. He didn''t give him the slightest support and trust.


    Everything depends on yourself!


    Liu Xiushen took a deep breath, depressed his heart, and said in a deep voice: "tell my father that my son has found Doctor Zhang. Because general Wen said his father was seriously ill, his son and general Wen rushed back first. Now, Dr. Zhang is on his way to the prefecture


    "Really?"


    In Liu Biao''s eyes, the shadow disappeared, showing the color of joy.

 Chapter 8

    Cai''s charming cheek, showing a look of consternation, heart said this boy really go to Zhang Zhongjing?


    Liu Cong didn''t believe it and said in a deep voice: "third brother, are you sure you have found Doctor Zhang? That''s not to be said. " Liu Cong swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He always wanted to revenge Liu Xiu, but he couldn''t find a chance. After Liu Biao''s illness worsened, he had an idea. He asked people to investigate Liu Xiu''s situation. When he learned that Liu Xiu had gone out, he specially mentioned Liu Xiu in front of Liu Biao and asked him to serve him.


    In fact, Liu Cong deliberately wanted to embarrass Liu Xiu.


    I didn''t expect that cleverness was mistaken by cleverness. Instead, it gave Liu Xiu a chance to show himself in front of Liu Biao.


    Liu Cong was in a bad mood.


    Liu Xiu glanced at Liu Cong and said: "father, when general Wen found his son, Doctor Zhang was beside him. General Wen can testify to this. After all, Doctor Zhang is an old man and can''t ride a horse, so his son arranged for him to go back to the city by car. It''s estimated that Doctor Zhang will arrive in a short time. "


    "Good, good, good, Xiuer has a heart."


    Liu Biao said three good words in a row, and his excitement was beyond expression, and his spirit seemed to disperse a lot.


    Compared with before, more than a point of spirit.


    Liu Xiu took a look at Cai Shi and Liu Cong and said, "father, my son is going to meet Doctor Zhang at the gate of the mansion. You''d better take care of yourself. Doctor Zhang will be here soon. "


    "Don''t neglect Doctor Zhang. Go!"


    Liu Biao asked people to adjust the bedding, then lie down and close their eyes.


    Liu Xiu got up and left the bedroom. Not long after he came out, Liu Cong followed him.


    Liu Cong stood in front of Liu Xiushen and said, "third brother, don''t think it''s great to find Zhang Zhongjing. In my father''s eyes, no matter what you do, you are always a common son. Concubines are always on the table. Do you understand that? "


    Liu Xiu said: "the second brother is a legitimate son, and he is really on the stage. In front of his father and Jingzhou civil and military officials, it must be very comfortable to be defeated by sun Ren. Second brother is really lonely. No one shares your comfortable feeling. "


    "You..."


    Liu Cong''s eyes were burning with anger.


    Liu xiudao: "second brother, do you have anything else to say? If not, don''t get in the way. I''m going to meet Dr. Zhang. "


    Liu Cong raised his chin and hummed, "I told my father. I''m here to welcome Doctor Zhang. Dr. Zhang is famous all over the world. Can someone like you contact him? Doctor Zhang''s willingness to treat his father''s illness is also due to his father''s prestige. Don''t be too self righteous. "


    Voice down, Liu Cong left.


    Liu Xiu shook his head gently. No matter when, Liu Cong was so proud.


    Liu Cong was always proud in his previous life.


    However, when the Cai family, Kuai family and other Jingzhou officials coerced him into surrender to Cao Cao, Liu Cong fell into the dust without any trace of pride. When he was sent to Xudu, Liu Cong was like a bird in a cage. People watched him eat, wear, live and walk, and he was even more depressed.


    However, now Liu Cong, where knows Jingzhou future ending, where knows his own future ending.


    Liu Xiu, with his sleeves, walked towards the gate.


    Come to the gate, Liu Xiu quietly waiting, did not talk with Liu Cong.


    But Liu Cong couldn''t help it, and suddenly said, "third brother, there''s no need to be so stiff between our brothers."


    Liu xiudao: "what does second brother mean?"


    Liu Cong smile, confident way: "I mean, after you less in front of your father''s face. Second brother, I can guarantee that after I inherit Jingzhou, you will have no worries about food and clothing, even officials and barons. As a concubine, you can''t inherit Jingzhou. In that case, why fight for your elder brother and be willing to be shot by him? "


    Liu Xiu said: "the second brother is still self righteous and always annoying."


    Liu Cong''s face suddenly turned black and his anger surged up.


    Liu Xiu continued: "when Lu Su came to visit, my second brother asked me to be informed; when my father was seriously ill, my second brother asked me to be informed. It''s all arranged by the second brother himself. How can I show less face in front of my father? "


    Liu Cong said, "when you have the chance to see your father, you are not allowed to show off your ability."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "do you know why I like big brother?"


    Liu Cong asked, "why?"


    Liu xiudao: "because elder brother is kind, in elder brother''s eyes, at least treat me as a brother. As for the second brother, you pout your ass all day long and look like you are above the world. You are self righteous, as if you are so great. But if you think about it carefully, in terms of martial arts, can your three legged Kung Fu fight to kill the enemy? On poetry and books, you only know how to play with women. How many poetry and books do you master? I don''t have any ability, but I feel good about myself. I can''t get close to you. "


    Liu Cong said coldly: "so, are you rejecting me?"


    Liu Xiu a pair of indifferent appearance, casually said: "you want to understand so, also can."


    "You will regret today''s decision!" Liu Cong said coldly.


    His eyes to Liu Xiu were even colder. In Liu Cong''s eyes, Liu Xiu is not only a common son, but also a gun in Liu Qi''s hand. He must suppress Liu Xiu and make Liu Xiu lose his status in Liu Biao''s heart.Liu Xiu said firmly: "regret, perhaps is the second brother."


    Liu Cong''s eyes were cold. He turned his head and no longer talked to Liu Xiu. He looked to the distance of the street and waited quietly.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes are filled with happiness. Fortunately, he met Zhang Zhongjing in Wen village. Otherwise, he would have to face difficulties this time.


    Wheel! Wheel!


    The wheels turned, and a carriage drove fast towards the prefecture.


    The driver is a cavalry brought by wenpin.


    When Liu Cong saw the visitor, he immediately put on a smile and went down the steps to wait. Liu Xiu did not speak, but also quietly came down and stood beside Liu Cong.


    In the eyes of outsiders, he and Liu Cong are still brothers and sisters.


    A moment later, the carriage stopped.


    As the curtain rolled up, Zhang Zhongjing came out with a medicine box on his back.


    Liu Cong immediately went forward to salute and said, "I have met Doctor Zhang."


    Zhang Zhongjing nodded, but ignored Liu Cong. He looked directly at Liu Xiu and asked with concern, "third son, how is Zhou Mu''s condition?"


    Liu Xiu took the medicine box on Zhang Zhongjing''s back and replied, "my father''s condition has stabilized. It''s not serious for the time being. Especially when he learned that Zhong Jinggong had come, his spirit was much better. It''s up to Mr. Zhongjing to make a diagnosis. After all, he''s a layman. "


    With a smile, Zhang Zhongjing waved his hand and said, "lead the way ahead!"


    Liu Xiu nodded and took Zhang Zhongjing to the mansion.


    Liu Cong stood in the same place, looking embarrassed. As the second son of Liu Biao, he took the initiative to say hello, but people just nodded a little as they did to passers-by, and then went directly to the house with Liu Xiu, ignoring him at all. With Zhang Zhongjing''s fame and identity, Liu Cong did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.


    What''s more, it seems that Zhang Zhongjing and Liu Xiu are familiar with each other, which makes Liu Cong confused.


    "Hum, let you be arrogant for a while."


    Liu Cong couldn''t find a chance to fight back, so he could only suppress his anger and go to Liu Biao''s bedroom with Zhang Zhongjing and Liu Xiu.


    Entering the bedroom, Liu Xiu took the initiative to say, "father, zhongjinggong is here."


    Liu Biao''s face was full of joy. He said: "Doctor Zhang, I''m sorry to trouble you this time."


    Zhang Zhongjing shook his head and said, "Liu Jingzhou is a sick man, and Lao Jiu is a doctor. Lao Jiu''s duty is to treat Liu Jingzhou. There is no need to thank him. Please let Liu Jingzhou stretch out his left hand to feel your pulse. "


    Liu Biao was still grateful in his heart and quickly extended his hand as thin as firewood.

 Chapter 9

    Zhang Zhongjing finished the pulse diagnosis for Liu Biao, and the dignified look on his face disappeared a lot.


    There are four medical skills: looking, smelling, asking and cutting. As soon as Zhang Zhongjing entered the room, he observed Liu Biao''s look. He saw that Liu Biao''s face was waxy yellow and his eyes were dim. He was worried that Liu Biao had been ill.


    After feeling his pulse, Zhang Zhongjing roughly concluded Liu Biao''s illness and was relieved.


    Liu Xiu asked with concern, "Mr. Zhong Jing, how is his father''s condition?"


    Liu Biao smiles and looks indifferent to life and death. He says, "Doctor Zhang, don''t worry, just say it. I''ve lived for decades, but I''ve long been indifferent to life and death. Sooner or later there will be a death, why fear it? "


    Zhang Zhongjing said: "Liu Jingzhou''s condition is not serious. The reason why he suddenly got sick is that he used the medicine of tiger and wolf some time ago, leading to Qi deficiency and fatigue. Liu Jingzhou should have used ginseng, pilose antler and other drugs. These drugs can be refreshing and eye-catching for a while, but the consequences are unpredictable. After all, Liu Jingzhou is over 60 years old. He is not as fit as young people, so he must be careful with his medication. "


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he suddenly understood.


    Liu Biao thought it was a serious illness, but he didn''t think it was because of the heavy medication.


    For a moment, Liu Biao relaxed.


    Zhang Zhongjing continued: "Lao Jiu has a prescription for recuperation. Liu Jingzhou drinks it every morning before eating. After a month, you''ll be able to recover, so you don''t have to take any more medicine. "


    "Thank you, Doctor Zhang!"


    Liu Biao nodded and said, "I don''t feel well. I can''t entertain Doctor Zhang any more. Why don''t you let the dog entertain you? "


    Zhang Zhongjing shook his head and said, "Liu Jingzhou''s good intentions are old-fashioned. I still have things to do. Don''t bother Liu Jingzhou. "


    Liu Biao said: "so, it''s really a poor reception."


    Cai said: "husband, the future is long. When I see Doctor Zhang again, my husband will try his best to be a local master. "


    Liu Biao nodded and said, "Xiuer, send Doctor Zhang."


    "No!"


    Liu Xiuying leaves the bedroom with Zhang Zhongjing.


    After leaving the backyard, Zhang Zhongjing wrote down the prescription and gave it to Liu Xiu. He told him, "third son, I was..."


    Liu Xiu interrupted: "it''s hard for me to call Zhong Jinggong that way. You can call it Ji Xu. "


    Zhang Zhongjing stroked his beard with a smile and said, "in this way, I will rely on the old to sell my old. Ji Xu, Liu Jingzhou''s condition is not serious. With a little conditioning, he can recover. But this condition is not easy to recover


    Liu Xiu asked, "what does Zhong Jinggong mean?"


    Zhang Zhongjing explained: "when I felt Liu Jingzhou''s pulse, I found that Liu Jingzhou''s kidney was weak and his Qi and blood were weaker. The reason for this situation, and a large number of ginseng, pilose antler, but the most direct relationship is addicted to sex. In front of Liu Jingzhou, especially in front of the public, it''s not convenient for me to say. "


    After a pause, Zhang Zhongjing said: "it''s human nature for an old man and a young wife to enjoy their boudoir. However, Liu Jingzhou is old and should be cautious. You can tell Liu Jingzhou about it in private, so as not to hurt Liu Jingzhou''s face. "


    Liu Xiu smiles bitterly. He asks Zhang Zhongjing to treat Liu Biao. Now Zhang Zhongjing explains the reason. If he tells Liu Biao about it directly, where is Liu Biao''s face? Even if Liu Biao doesn''t say anything, he will hate Liu Xiu in his heart.


    I can only listen to this.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "the reminder of Mr. Zhongjing is in my heart. Thank you very much."


    Soon, another servant took the money and handed it to Liu Xiu.


    After Liu Xiu took it, he said, "Mr. Zhongjing, this is a little bit of my heart. Please accept it."


    Zhang Zhongjing, with a black face, said: "the reason why I treat Liu Jingzhou is that you have benevolence and filial piety. You''re embarrassing me by doing this. "


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he was very happy.


    What he did in Wen village left a good impression on Zhang Zhongjing.


    After three years of hard work, Liu Maotou is not born. After listening to Zhang Zhongjing''s words, he solemnly said, "Mr. Zhongjing, these expenses are from my heart, but they are not for you. They are for the patients who need treatment."


    On hearing this, Zhang Zhongjing said with a smile: "if you say that, you will change your ways to send money."


    "Mr. Zhongjing misunderstood," Liu said


    "Zhongjing is a kind-hearted man. For patients with family difficulties, Mr. Zhong treated them free of charge, regardless of the cost. But no matter what, it takes money to cure and prescribe medicine. Zhong Jing accepted this idea. When he was practicing medicine, he could prescribe more medicine for those patients who had no money to buy medicine. The boy''s ability is limited. There''s only so much he can do. "


    Zhang Zhongjing looked at Liu Xiu with admiration.


    Zhang Zhongjing stroked his beard under his jaw and said with admiration, "Liu Jingzhou has a son like this. Why should I ask for more?"


    Liu xiudao said: "the Duke of Zhongjing has been praised falsely!"


    Zhang Zhongjing took the package and went out of the house. When he came to the gate of the prefecture, Zhang Zhongjing stopped and said, "Liu Jingzhou still needs medical treatment, so don''t send him away. Goodbye! When we say goodbye, I hope you are better than today. "Liu xiudao: "walk slowly, Mr. Zhongjing!"


    Seeing Zhang Zhongjing leave, Liu Xiucai turns to return to the mansion.


    Back in the house, Liu Xiu first went to see Liu Biao and made a statement about seeing off Zhang Zhongjing. Then he handed the prescription to CAI and asked CAI to deal with Liu Biao''s illness.


    Liu Xiu didn''t want to interfere in the matter of medicine preparation, because he couldn''t interfere in the decocting and feeding of medicine after the medicine was collected. If he went to get the medicine himself, Liu Biao took the medicine, but something went wrong, he could not bear the responsibility.


    When Cai got the prescription, he immediately asked people to take the medicine, and then he decocted it for Liu Biao to drink. After Liu Biao took the medicine, he fell asleep. Liu Qi stays in the room to take care of them, while CAI and Liu Cong leave the bedroom.


    In CAI''s room, Liu Cong looked gloomy and said, "mother, the third one is more and more arrogant. He defeated sun Ren, and now he invited Zhang Zhongjing to treat his father. My father''s impression of the third child is bound to change and even threaten my position. "


    Cai said, "Liu Xiu is a commoner. He can''t threaten your position."


    Liu Cong shook his head gently and said in a cold voice: "old three can''t threaten me, but he targets me everywhere, which will affect my status. The elder brother always acts like a brother and sister, helping Lao San everywhere. In fact, he takes Lao San as a gunner. But the third one is very close to the elder brother. Under such circumstances, it''s very difficult to defeat the elder brother if he doesn''t lose his father''s trust completely. "


    Cai''s face also showed a trace of dignity when he heard the speech.


    She is not only Liu Cong''s stepmother, but also Liu Cong''s aunt. Because her niece married Liu Cong. Because of this, CAI was completely on Liu Cong''s side. Turning his eyes, Cai said: "Liu Xiuwu is very skillful. It''s hard to defeat him in martial arts. In this way, we have to find other ways. "


    Liu Cong said: "maybe we can beat him in poetry and Fu. From small to large, the third elder has never met a famous teacher. Even though he has read a few books, he is not good at it, and he will suffer from it. "


    "Are you sure?" Cai asked


    Liu Cong replied: "my son is sure that the old three can''t write poetry."


    Chua nodded his head slightly and said, "in that case, after your father''s recovery, he invited Jingxiang''s talents to celebrate his recovery. At that time, there will be a gathering of talented people and Liu Xiu will not be able to write poetry and Fu. It will be a shame for him to write poetry and Fu. With your father''s temperament, Liu Xiu will be angry with him when he loses face. "


    Liu Cong looked happy, said: "mother wise, so do."


    Cai ordered: "your father''s health will take some time to recover. What you have to do now is to prepare poems and Fu with all your strength, and then you''ll make a big splash at the banquet. "


    Liu Cong was happy and said, "my son knows!"

 Chapter 10

    Xiangyang in May, the weather is not hot or cold, Liu Xiutian not bright out of the office morning exercise. After returning to the mansion, he washed up and had breakfast. Liu Xiu left the prefecture early. In the prefecture, he could not see Liu Biao and was not welcomed by others, so he simply went out of the prefecture. However, Liu Biao''s condition has not fully recovered, and he does not dare to go to lumen mountain. After all, he is too far away from home.


    Under the management of Liu Biao, Xiangyang City is very prosperous. Walking in the streets of Xiangyang City, people come and go, very lively.


    When Liu Xiu was among them, he felt more cordial.


    This piece of land is our hometown.


    After Liu Cong surrendered in his previous life, he also left Xiangyang. Since then, he has never returned to Xiangyang and died in a foreign land. Now I feel very different when I am in it.


    Liu Xiu walked leisurely, and finally came to a restaurant.


    The restaurant is called Lianxiang Lou. It is backed by the lake. Because there are lotus flowers in the lake, it is called Lianxiang Lou. In May, lotus leaves are all over the lake, and the budding buds are pregnant, making the scenery pleasant.


    At this time of year, many people come to Lianxiang building.


    Lianxiang building is divided into two floors, the downstairs is decorated with scattered seats, and the scattered guests in twos and threes sit in the lobby downstairs.


    On the second floor, a curtain is used to separate the rooms into elegant seats.


    Liu Xiu came early, but there were not many people in Lianxiang building. He went straight up to the second floor and found a quiet place to sit down and enjoy the lotus lake behind the lotus fragrance building.


    The sun rises early, the sun is bright, the golden sun falls on the lotus lake, and the crystal dew reflects the light, making the whole Lotus Lake more beautiful.


    A pot of tea, a person, enjoy the beauty alone.


    Liu Xiupin tea, looking at the scenery outside the window, mood gradually calm down.


    During the period of rebirth, he spent all day planning for his own future, thinking about how to stand in the troubled times, how to take advantage of the situation and how to prevent the power of Jingzhou from falling into Liu Cong''s hands.


    Up to now, he is cautious in every step, worrying that he will make a mistake and lose everything. Liu Xiu was staring at the lotus leaves and budding buds in the lake, but his mood suddenly dropped.


    A heart, all empty, no longer think about anything, just want to enjoy the beauty in front of us.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    The sound of footsteps came from the corridor.


    When Liu Xiu came back to his mind and went along with his reputation, he saw three men with elegant temperament and wearing a broad collar. They talked and laughed happily, and finally sat down in the elegant room next to Liu Xiu. Through the curtain, Liu Xiu can only vaguely see the three faces. Among the three, the elder had gray hair and was about 60 years old. The other two are about the same age, both in their early 40s.


    "Duke De, what''s the view of Lianxiang building?"


    Among them, a middle-aged man in his early 40s said.


    He is gentle, gentle, kind-hearted and kind-hearted.


    The man who was known as the Duke of virtue was the oldest. He said, "Lianxiang building deserves its reputation. It''s really good."


    The middle-aged man sighed: "unfortunately, such a good scenery will not last long."


    The old man said, "virtue, why do you say that?"


    The middle-aged man sighed: "a few days ago, Lu Su of Jiangdong came to seek peace on behalf of Sun Quan, and then Jiangdong and Jingzhou went on strike to make peace. From my point of view, I''m afraid Sun Quan deliberately showed the enemy weakness and intended to paralyze Liu Jingzhou. Once Sun Quan is relieved, he will certainly set up a new army to break the border. It is impossible for Sun Quan to give up his father''s revenge. Moreover, if Jiangdong wants to expand, it is impossible to leave Jingzhou alone. "


    The old man said with a smile, "I''m afraid your inference doesn''t hold water."


    The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "in addition, I heard that Cao Cao in the North has pacified Bingzhou. If Jizhou and Bingzhou are to be pacified, I''m afraid Cao Cao will soon free up his hand. Jingzhou, I''m afraid it''s hard to maintain peace. "


    Another middle-aged humanitarian: "virtue, will you be alarmist?"


    "Brother Chengyan, when the situation comes to this stage, it''s inevitable and it can''t be peaceful any more. It''s only a year or two to live in peace. "


    The three chatted, but Liu Xiu, who was sitting next door, got excited. In his heart, there was a feeling that there was no place to look for, and there was no effort.


    Because the names of the three people beside him remind Liu Xiu of their identities.


    Morality is Sima Hui''s character.


    Duke De, corresponding to Lord pound.


    Chengyan, corresponding to Huang Chengyan.


    Three people''s names can be on the number, age difference is not much, must be the three people without worry.


    Liu Xiu always wanted to go to lumen mountain to worship his teacher. Last time he went to lumen mountain, he also wanted to visit Pang Degong. I didn''t expect to meet you in Lianxiang building. Liu trimmed his clothes, got up and lifted the curtain, and went to the elegant room where the three were seated.


    Three people can be seen through the curtain.


    Liu Xiuzhen was sure to be self-confident and said, "three gentlemen, I''m very polite."


    Even if Liu Xiu had met the emperor in his previous life and had seen the grand scene, his heart had been calm. But at this moment, in the face of Pound''s three people, their emotions still stirred.Pound hung up the curtain of the elegant room and asked, "what''s your opinion?" He was also looking at Liu Xiu. He saw that Liu Xiu was dressed in ordinary clothes, but he was calm and calm. He spoke neither humbly nor haughtily, which was also a secret praise.


    Liu Xiu said in a graceful way: "may I have your name, sir?"


    "Mr. pound!"


    Pound looked at Liu Xiu with great interest and was quite interested in Liu Xiu''s sudden visit.


    Liu Xiu bowed to Sima Hui again and said, "I just heard that Mr. De Gong was addressing Mr. Sima Hui, but is that Mr. Sima Hui?" Liu Xiu''s understanding benefited from Liu Biao''s teaching. Liu Biao didn''t teach Liu Xiu poetry, no matter Liu Xiu''s life or death, but let people train his etiquette to avoid losing Liu Biao''s face. Because of this, Liu Xiu''s every move was dignified and could not find the slightest fault.


    Sima Hui nodded and said, "I am Sima Hui!"


    Huang Chengyan see Liu Xiu also salute, even busy way: "under Huang Chengyan, do not salute."


    "Met Mr. Chengyan!"


    Liu Xiu heard the speech, but he could not be disrespectful. He still gave a humble salute.


    As a junior, etiquette must be done well.


    Pound nodded gently, leaving aside the identity of the youth, the etiquette was too impeccable. Sima Hui came from Yingchuan and lived in Xiangyang. However, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan came from Xiangyang aristocratic family and were very particular about etiquette.


    Liu Xiu''s action won their favor.


    "What''s the matter with you?" he asked


    Liu Xiu replied, "I heard that the three gentlemen talked about Jingzhou. I have some immature ideas in my heart. I''m here to ask them for advice." In terms of age, Liu Xiunian was less than 20 years old, so he was asking for advice.


    Pang Degong, who was running a school in lumen mountain, waved many disciples and was also a good teacher. Liu Xiu took the initiative to ask for advice, but he was also happy in his heart. He said, "in that case, tell me what you think."


    Liu Xiu said: "I think Jingzhou may take advantage of the situation."


    "Well, what does that mean?"


    It was the first time that Sima Hui heard such a judgment. When Pang Degong and Sima Hui looked at each other, there was a trace of curiosity in their eyes. As for the situation in Jingzhou, the three people have discussed it countless times, and their disciples and friends have also discussed it many times. No one ever believes that Jingzhou can take advantage of the situation.


    Mr. pound was intrigued and said, "I''d like to hear about it!"


    Huang Chengyan took the initiative to lean on a seat inside and vacated a seat for Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu bowed his hand to thank him and sat down on his knees.

 Chapter 11

    Liu Xiu''s eyes were calm and said: "as Mr. de Cao mentioned just now, there are Cao bandits in the north of Jingzhou, and Sun Quan in the East, waiting for the opportunity to move. There is no peace in the four wars."


    Pound''s eyes agreed, but he didn''t show any appreciation.


    People with a little insight can judge the current situation in Jingzhou, which is not difficult.


    Liu Xiu, confident and calm, continued: "crisis and opportunity coexist. Jingzhou is in a crucial position. No matter Cao thief or Jiangdong, they all intend to seize Jingzhou. It can be said that Jingzhou is facing an unprecedented crisis, but conversely, the greater the danger, the greater the opportunity. This is also the opportunity of Jingzhou. "


    "When Cao Cao goes down to the south, he is bound to bring a large army to kill him. With Cao Cao occupying half of the country''s troops, the army will surely have hundreds of thousands of soldiers going south. Neither Jingzhou nor Jiangdong can resist alone. The fact that Cao Cao''s family is the only one can not be ignored. "


    "However, Jingzhou has an advantage that Cao Cao does not have."


    "First of all, the bandits of Cao took the emperor and attacked him with no way. Once they sent troops to the south, the government and the public would be shaken. Loyal officials in the court must echo. Even if Cao Cao went down to the south, there were also factors of instability in the rear. "


    Second, Liu Jingzhou''s Han clan is quite prestigious. As long as we raise our arms, all the clansmen and princes in the world will surely gather to respond. "


    "Third, Jingzhou has a developed water system. If Cao bandits want to go south to Jingzhou and even destroy Jiangdong, they will inevitably need a large number of water troops. Although the soldiers under Cao''s command were brave and good at fighting, they were not used to water fighting. It was difficult for the cavalry to give full play to their strength in the south. This is determined by the geographical location of both sides. "


    Fourth, under Liu Biao''s administration, Jingzhou has been in Chengping for many years, and the people under his administration have long been used to the present days. Cao Cao''s army moved southward and set off a fire of war. The people would certainly resist. Cao Cao does not occupy the hearts of the people, so it is difficult for him to gain a foothold. This is the advantage of man and nature. "


    "Fifthly, Jingzhou and Jiangdong have lost their lips and teeth, while Jingzhou has lost its teeth, and Jiangdong has no way to support itself. Jiangdong intends to seize Jiangdong, but under the general situation, he can only unite with Jingzhou to fight against Cao Cao, which is the middle force against Cao Cao. "


    With a confident smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "if we unite Wu with Cao, Jingzhou may not be in trouble."


    Pound''s eyes were full of thinking. In Liu Xiu''s analysis, some seem to have some truth, but the actual operation is not easy. However, Liu Xiu''s most important proposal was to unite Wu with Cao, which was appreciated by Pang Degong.


    "To unite Wu with Cao is indeed a theory of foresight."


    Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan were both full of military strategy. They were also touched by Liu Xiu''s words.


    Pang Degong pondered for a moment, then said: "Xiaoyou just said to solve the plight of Jingzhou, but did not say how Jingzhou rose. I''m all ears to the theory of rise. "


    Liu Xiu had a draft in his mind. After a pause, he continued: "the rise of Jingzhou still lies in uniting Wu with Cao."


    "Cao Cao dominates the north, the general situation has become, and we can''t compete with him in a short time."


    "Sun Quan''s possession of Jiangdong, after Sun Jian, sun CE, and then to Sun Quan, can be said to have a deep foundation. Moreover, it is difficult for Jiangdong to break through the natural danger of the Yangtze River. In addition, sun Quanwen has Zhang Zhao, Wu has Zhou Yu, and one Wen and one Wu is his assistant. Jiangdong can''t be attacked, but it can be helped. "


    "If we unite with Jiangdong and fight against Cao Cao in the north, Jingzhou will have a foothold."


    "Jingzhou''s four battlefields, only by virtue of Jingxiang nine counties, after all, is rootless Ping, difficult to stand on."


    "However, Jingzhou has another advantage, which is its border with Yizhou. Yizhou is rich in natural resources and abundant in people. Liu Zhang, the leader of Yizhou, is a fatuous man. He can''t employ talents. He only needs to send a general to lead the army to capture Yizhou. "


    "As long as Jingzhou and Bashu are linked together to form a general trend, they can stand on three legs."


    "Cao Cao in the north, Sun Quan in the South and Bashu in the West."


    Liu Xiu was in high spirits in his eyes. He said in a loud voice: "once the situation in the world changes, it''s time for tigers to come out. At that time, the Jingzhou army will go to Wanxian and Luoyang in the north, and the Yizhou army will come out of Qinchuan in the East. The two armies will be encircled, and then they can forge ahead in the world. In this way, the Han Dynasty can prosper and the Cao bandits can be exterminated. "


    Pound nodded, and his eyes were full of admiration.


    Liu Xiu''s analysis sounds simple, but he says the way out of Jingzhou.


    In fact, Liu Xiu''s analysis comes from Zhuge Liang''s Longzhong DUI. Now, Liu Bei is actively looking for Zhuge Liang. Before Longzhong Dui was born, Liu Xiu naturally adopted it directly. In particular, the analysis of Longzhong Dui is also based on Jingzhou. Liu Xiu took it and used it, which is completely applicable to Jingzhou now.


    Sima Hui said with admiration: "what Xiaoyou said can be regarded as exquisite."


    Pound said: "I can''t imagine that you are young, but you can see the situation so clearly. You really can''t judge your appearance."


    Huang Chengyan suddenly said, "did you ignore a problem?"


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Mr. Chengyan wants to say that Liu Jingzhou is the master of success and can''t support the overall situation, right?"


    "So it is


    Huang Chengyan nodded, this is the most critical issue.


    Liu Biao''s governance ability is outstanding, but he is not the pioneer. It is certainly impossible for Liu Biao to assume the heavy responsibility of ZTE Hanshi. In particular, Liu Biao is old and weak, lack of energy.Liu Biao said with a smile: "Cao thief is still in the north to solve future problems. It will be a year or two before he sends troops to the south. In a year or two, who can make it clear? When the time comes, there will always be a call


    As for the future arrangement, Liu Xiu did not make it clear.


    Liu Biao is still here. He''s just a common man. It''s not appropriate to say too much.


    Pound''s eyes narrowed and Liu Xiuyan could not help but tell the truth. However, pound didn''t ask. He said in a straight way, "may I ask you your name?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "boy Liu Xiu!"


    Pang Degong''s mind, suddenly flashed Liu Biao''s son Liu Xiu. He took another look at Liu Xiu. He saw that Liu Xiu''s clothes were ordinary and his speech was extraordinary. As Liu Biao''s son, he should not have such a speech.


    Thinking of this, Pang Degong directly choked off his idea. Liu Xiu in front of him should not be Liu Biao''s son.


    Seeing that the atmosphere was dignified, Sima Hui suddenly turned to the window and said with a smile, "it''s a blessing to meet you today. Now, the lotus leaves outside the window are in pieces, and the lotus flowers are in bud. Come and enjoy the lotus outside the window. "


    Huang Chengyan caressed his hand and said, "it should be so."


    Pang Degong''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu and said, "Xiao you is full of strategy and should be good at poetry and Fu. How about asking you to write a poem about the lotus outside the window


    Liu Xiu''s vision and talent brightened Pound''s eyes.


    Seeing the lotus outside the window, pound couldn''t help taking the examination.


    Sima Hui liked to be lively and said: "you can think about it slowly. If you think about it, it''s not too late. You can''t write poetry without color. If you do a good job and don''t get married, I can protect the media for you. "


    Huang Chengyan joked: "virtue, Xiaoyou is very talented. I''m afraid there are too many women who like him. I don''t need you to protect the media."


    Funny words make the atmosphere more lively.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Mr. moral is willing to mediate for the boy. The boy thanks in advance here."


    Sima Hui stretched out his hand and said, "don''t worry. Although I promise to protect the media, I can''t just write poems casually. Poems must be approved by the Duke of virtue before they are passed."


    Liu Xiujian was in high spirits and said, "Mr. De Gong, I''d rather tear down ten temples than destroy one marriage. It''s a big event in my life. Please do me a favor."


    Pang Degong stroked his beard and said with a laugh, "boy, just write a poem."

 Chapter 12

    Liu Xiu looked out of the window at the dense lotus leaves, lost in thought.


    Taking lotus as a topic must be related to lotus.


    Huang Chengyan''s eyes joked and joked: "little friend, if it''s difficult to write a poem, it''s OK to press it down for a while."


    Liu Xiu gently smiles, but he looks calm and thinks quickly.


    There are too many poems about lotus in his mind. But for the time being, we must find something that really fits the scene. Therefore, we need to think carefully.


    At this time, the window is sunny.


    The lake water is sparkling, the lotus leaves are connected into pieces, and the lotus flowers are in bud, which is magnificent.


    In the center of the lake, there is a rockery one foot above the water surface, which makes the lake have a sense of hierarchy. In the rockery, there is a gurgling spring flowing down, forming a wise contrast with the surrounding flower buds.


    Liu Xiu is very clear about this rockery.


    Because there is a fountain under the rockery, the power of the fountain just let the spring gush up from the rockery.


    Beside the fountain, a lotus flower stands in bud. Little rain and dew embellish it, adding the beauty of flower buds. I do not know when, a dragonfly has been standing on the bud.


    Seeing this scene, Liu Xiunao had a flash of inspiration.


    "Yes!"


    Suddenly, Liu Xiu said.


    Looking forward to it, Pang Degong said, "come on, take the pen, ink, paper and inkstone!" The attendant on the second floor answered quickly, and then went to prepare. After a while, he took the first-class pen, ink, paper and inkstone.


    Lord pound waved his hand and said, "please!"


    Liu Xiu smoothed the paper, picked up the pen, covered it with ink, and wrote.


    There is a feeling in Guanlian Lake


    the spring is silent and cherishes the stream, the shade of the trees shines on the water, and the sunshine is soft.


    The lotus has just shown its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has been standing on it for a long time.


    When a poem was finished, Liu Xiu put down his brush, arched his hand and said, "three gentlemen, I''m sorry."


    Pang Degong looked at Liu Xiu with admiration.


    "Good words, good poetry!"


    Lord pound praised him, showing his appreciation without concealment.


    What Liu Xiu learned in his previous life is Cai Yong''s flying white body. After living in the north, he imitated Cai Yong''s feibai style in his spare time. Over the years, he has integrated his own insights into Cai Yong''s feibai style, making it more beautiful.


    Sima Hui read it all over again and praised it: "the poem is simple, but it''s small and exquisite. You can see the clue in a small place, and it''s extraordinary. The poem is like a painting of color and ink, slowly depicting the lake, spring, lotus and dragonfly. It is more exquisite and lively. Today I came out to enjoy lotus, but I got this poem. Fortunately! Fortunately


    Huang Chengyan nodded: "such talent is rare in the world."


    Liu xiudao: "three mistakenly praised, the boy should not be so praised."


    Pound is fair: "if you can''t be, who can be? Jingzhou is so talented that I don''t know it. I''m really ignorant. " After a pause, pound was fair: "moral said that he would protect the media for Xiaoyou. This matter can be carried out."


    Liu Xiulian said hastily, "Mr. De Gong, just now it was just a joke. It can''t be taken seriously."


    On hearing this, Sima Hui asked, "little friend, have you ever been married?"


    "No!" Liu Xiu replied.


    Sima Hui asked again, "did you ever have a fiancee who married by pointing her belly?"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "no!"


    Sima Hui asked again, "have you ever been interested in the right person?"


    "No!" Liu Xiu still shook his head.


    Sima Hui said with a smile: "since they are not married, there is no order from their parents, no matchmaker''s words, and no one in love. So, what else to refuse? It''s up to me to get married. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "Mr. virtue''s good intention, I''ve got it. But my elder brother is still unmarried, and I have no plans to get married for the time being. Thank you, sir


    In fact, Liu Xiu also hoped that Sima Hui would be a matchmaker himself. As long as Sima Hui was willing to be a matchmaker, he and Sima Hui would have a relationship.


    But once the matchmaker, it will involve Liu Biao.


    In Liu Xiu''s current status, Sima Hui''s self-sufficiency as a matchmaker for Liu Xiu is easy to embarrass him. So, it''s better to refuse decisively and keep the relationship with Sima Hui and others for the time being, so as to lay the foundation for future apprenticeship.


    Sima Hui frowned, but also to persuade.


    In Sima Hui''s view, Liu Xiu is such a talent that we can''t miss.


    Seeing the clue, Pang Degong took the initiative and said, "since you don''t have any plans to get married for the time being, let''s stop there. In the future, it''s not too late to protect Xiaoyou. "


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "thank you for your understanding."


    After a pause, Liu xiudao said, "it''s been a long time for the boy to come out. Family members are worried about him, so the boy won''t disturb the three gentlemen. Let''s go."


    The three did not stop him and watched Liu Xiu go downstairs.


    After Liu Xiu came downstairs, Sima Hui suddenly said, "Oh, I forgot to ask where Liu Xiu lives."Mr. pound narrowed his eyes and said, "I''m afraid he won''t answer even if he asks. When I mentioned marriage before, I noticed that Liu Xiu had something to hide. It''s probably because of his family. If that''s the case, don''t ask. With Liu Xiu''s talent, he will certainly come to the fore, and there will be opportunities to meet in the future. "


    Sima Hui nodded and said, "originally, I was going to introduce my niece Yueying to Liu Xiu. Now, Yueying is a person who has lived for 28 years. It''s just right. "


    Huang Chengyan snorted and retorted: "Sima Decao, don''t mess with me. My daughter doesn''t worry about getting married."


    Sima Hui said: "Liu Xiu is a young and outstanding man. He is not only good at overall planning, but also has outstanding talent. Is it true that Huang Chengyan doesn''t like such a son-in-law? "


    Huang Chengyan said: "I admit that Liu Xiucai is very emotional, but he doesn''t know his nature and it''s hard to distinguish his temperament. When an old man marries a daughter, he depends on his talent and ability, on his character, and on Yueying''s opinion. The most important thing is that Yueying likes it. "


    "Hard, hard, hard!"


    Sima Hui shakes his head and feels that Huang Chengyan has set the standard too high.


    Pang Degong interrupted: "I also agree with you. Liu Xiu knows the rules, the general, the advance and retreat, and is more talented. If you can marry him, it''s good. Such a person will surely achieve something in the future. "


    Sima Hui asked, "how about Wolong and fengxiao?"


    Pound suddenly fell silent and said, "if you only judge from what you just said and behaved, at least it''s the same. Unfortunately, Liu Xiu revealed too little information to judge. "


    Sima Hui changed his mind and asked, "how do you think about Liu Xiu''s analysis of the future of Jingzhou?"


    Pang Degong replied, "if there is a Ming Dynasty leader in Jingzhou, maybe Liu Xiu''s strategy is feasible. If Liu Biao continues to be in charge of Jingzhou, it will be difficult to implement the strategy. However, just as Liu Xiu said, it will be two or three years later. I''m not sure. "


    Sima Hui said, "that''s true."


    The three chatted in the elegant room. They got up and left near noon.


    When he went downstairs and asked the attendant to check out, he learned that Liu Xiu had paid when he left. Knowing the news, the three had a better impression of Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 13

    Prefecture, study.


    Liu Biao is going through Jingzhou government affairs and making comments one by one.


    At this time, Liu Biao was hale and hearty, with ruddy complexion and bright eyes. He did not look like an old man who had just recovered from a serious illness. After more than a month of careful care, Liu Biao''s body has basically recovered.


    "Dong! Dong


    Knock on the door, outside the study.


    Tsai came in with the medicine, put it on the table and said, "husband, it''s time to drink it."


    Liu Biao picked up the bowl and drank it.


    Usually, Liu Biao put down the bowl and Cai took it and left. This time, I didn''t leave immediately. Liu Biao raised his head and asked, "is there anything else, madam?"


    Chua''s manner was very awkward, and he wanted to talk and stop.


    Liu Biao had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "what happened? Is Qi Er disobedient. Don''t be afraid. I''ll take care of him for you. He''s almost 30 years old. He''s still not steady and obedient. "


    Cai shook his head and said, "husband, it has nothing to do with Childe Qi."


    Liu Biao thought a little and asked, "did the people in your family offend you? Damn it


    "It''s not," Cai said


    Liu Biao couldn''t see Cai''s desire to talk and stop. He asked, "what''s the matter?"


    After arousing Liu Biao''s curiosity, Cai said slowly: "I think that my husband has just recovered from a serious illness, and my body is strong. I should celebrate. I would like to suggest that my husband call up the scholars of Jingzhou to hold a literary festival to celebrate. "


    "Ha ha ha I think it''s something. It''s simple. " Liu Biao was even more warm in his heart. He took Cai''s hand and said, "it''s still my wife''s thoughtfulness. Thank you for your kindness."


    Cai said earnestly: "since we are going to hold the Jingzhou cultural fair, we should at least invite Pang Degong, Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Yi Ji, Cai Mao and other young heroes of the younger generation, such as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Meng Jian and so on. This is a feast for my husband after he recovers. We can''t be careless. "


    Liu Biao frowned and said, "I''m afraid it''s difficult to gather so many people. After all, Pang Degong, Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan are hermits, so they may not be able to come. "


    Cai said, "my husband, Jingzhou shepherd, can''t even invite a few people? Without them, the Jingzhou Cultural Association held by my husband would be looked down upon. "


    On hearing Cai''s words, Liu Biao immediately said, "that''s right. We must let them participate in it!"


    With a look of adoration, Cai said, "my husband''s order is sure to be successful."


    Liu Biao couldn''t help laughing and said, "you can consult with Mr. Cai about Jingzhou culture society. After the constitution is made, let him come to me and seal the seal of the State animal husbandry, and then you can inform me one by one. "


    "Well, I understand."


    Cai said: "when you review government affairs, you should combine work with rest. Relaxation is the right way. Don''t hurt yourself."


    Liu Biao replied, "I understand for my husband."


    When Cai''s goal was achieved, he left.


    Back in the yard, Cai immediately sent for Cai Mao. It wasn''t long before Cai Mao came to the yard. When he saw Cai, he saluted and asked, "sister, what''s the matter?"


    "Sit down and say!" Chua waved his hand.


    Cai Mao sat down and asked anxiously, "has Zhou Mu''s body changed again?"


    Cai said: "my husband''s body has completely recovered."


    Cai Mao was relieved. What he was most worried about was Liu Biao''s health.


    Cai said directly, "my husband is going to invite the great scholars of Jingzhou to hold the Jingzhou culture meeting. I''m here to discuss the arrangement."


    Cai Mao looked strange and asked, "well, what does the Lord do when he holds a literary festival? This kind of thing is thankless and easy to be criticized. "


    After listening to this, Cai said in a deep voice, "this is my suggestion. On the ground of my husband''s recovery, I will hold the Jingzhou Cultural Association."


    Cai Mao didn''t understand any more. He asked, "why does my sister do this?"


    For CAI, Cai Mao quite understand, can''t in order to please Liu Biao''s joy, it''s hard to hold Jingzhou cultural club. After all, it is difficult to invite talents from all sides.


    Cai replied: "the purpose of this Jingzhou Literary Festival is to make Cong''er a great success and gain the trust and favor of her husband. In addition, Liu Qi should be excluded. The last point is to make Liu Xiu lose face. Before that, Liu Xiu was very good in front of her husband, which caused her husband''s idea. If she didn''t suppress her, I was worried that it would bring threats to Cong''er and affect Cong''er''s status. "


    Cai Mao pondered for a moment and said, "my sister''s consideration is also correct. Liu Xiu''s performance twice in a row has already been appreciated by some of the men and women under the command of Zhou mu. Although he can''t inherit the position of Zhou mu, he and Liu Qi are very close and must be suppressed. "


    Cai said: "therefore, this Jingzhou cultural association should not be careless. It must be carefully designed. You should carefully check the people invited and the links to be carried out at the meeting, so as to give Cong''er the greatest opportunity. "Cai Mao said with a smile, "let me handle this matter."


    Cai said: "after the constitution is made, go directly to your husband and ask him to use his seal, and then inform everyone."


    "I understand!"


    Cai Mao smiles and nods.


    It is true that there are some difficulties in holding the cultural fair, but it is not too difficult for Cai Mao.


    After a discussion, Cai Mao left. Back home, Cai Mao was alone in his study. He carefully considered the Jingzhou Cultural Association, and soon decided on the person to be invited, as well as the time and place to hold it.


    With the written plan, Cai Mao went directly to the prefecture. After seeing Liu Biao, Cai Mao asked Liu Biao to review it, and then began to send people to inform him one by one.


    The news of the Jingzhou Cultural Association soon spread.


    However, Liu Xiu is always reading books, practicing martial arts, waiting for opportunities.


    In the evening, when Liu Xiu was practicing martial arts in the yard, the steward of his family came. The steward''s name is Cai di. He is an old man brought from Cai''s family when Cai married Liu Biao. He manages the household chores for CAI.


    Cai Di is in his early fifties, but he is hale and hearty.


    Seeing Liu Xiuqin practicing martial arts, Cai Di said: "the third young master is good at martial arts. Now he is practicing martial arts diligently. Do you still want to wait for Lu Su''s visit?"


    Liu Xiu did not stop or answer, and continued to practice martial arts.


    Cai Di opened his mouth again, but Liu Xiu didn''t pay attention to it, but the speed of his sword was faster. The sharp point of the sword, with the sharp whistling of the thorn, passed by Cai Di from time to time. Cai Di was so scared that he stepped back and did not dare to speak at will.


    After half a sound, Liu Xiu stopped and asked, "what''s the matter with manager Cai?"


    Cai Di replied: "Madam said that on June 1, the governor of Zhou Mu will hold the Jingzhou cultural festival in Lianxiang building. The lady said, "let''s make sure you attend on time on June 1st. Don''t lose the face of the state shepherd."


    Liu Xiu waved and said, "I know!"


    With that, Liu Xiu went to his study and ignored Cai di.


    "Well, see how long you can be arrogant."


    Cai Di gave a cold smile and then turned to leave Liu Xiu''s yard.


    Liu Xiu returned to his study and sat down with a dignified look in his eyes. Liu Biao''s holding of the Jingzhou cultural fair is bound to be very grand. However, Cai''s special arrangement for him to go, I''m afraid it''s very kind.


    "Somebody


    Voice falls, a servant girl came in.


    The maid''s name is Dongju, and she is the servant of Liu Xiu''s daily life. She is ordinary in appearance, but exquisite in character. Because of the character of Dongju, she was not bullied by others.


    "Young master!" Dongju road.


    Liu Xiu said, "do you know about Dongju, Jingzhou Wenhui?"


    With a smile on her face, Dongju replied, "I''ll tell you, young master. I''ve heard from the servant girl in Cong''s yard that all the great Confucians in Jingzhou will be invited to the Jingzhou Literary Association. At that time, the governor of the state will also go in person. I heard that nujingcong was studying in Yangzhou for the sake of fame. "


    Liu xiulue thought and understood.


    This time, I''m afraid it was specially held for Liu Cong. Of course, it is also possible that Cai wanted to take the opportunity to deal with him.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "I know. Go down."


    Dong Ju retreats, and Liu Xiu sits in his study, thinking about the Jingzhou literary society. Jingzhou Literary Association was Liu Cong''s opportunity, but it was Liu Xiu''s opportunity.

 Chapter 14

    June 1, Lianxiang building.


    Early in the morning, Lianxiang building was ready. The attendants in the building are well dressed. Since getting the news that Liu Biao is going to hold a cultural fair in Lianxiang building, Deng Xu, the boss of Lianxiang building, has made preparations early.


    Deng Xu, a native of Nanyang, came to Jingzhou in his early years.


    He didn''t read much, but he was very smart. In a short time in Jingzhou, he opened up a situation and had a lot of contacts. After the opening of Lianxiang building, many people came to support it. Over time, the reputation of Lianxiang building became famous.


    With both hands on his back and a big fat stomach, Dunch said, "today we are all distinguished guests. We must be more careful. No mistakes are allowed. If someone makes a mistake, break his legs, fold up the package and roll away. "


    The cold words made the attendants in the restaurant play a twelve point spirit.


    "How are you ready, Dunch?"


    Cai Di dressed appropriately and strode to inquire.


    Although it was undertaken by Lianxiang building, in order to avoid mistakes, Cai had sent Cai Di to supervise early to avoid neglect. Those who attended the meeting were all great Confucian scholars of Jingxiang. A little neglect affected Liu Biao''s reputation.


    With a strong smile on his face, Deng Xu assured: "Tsai, you can rest assured that everything has been arranged properly. In the elegant room on the second floor, I have removed all the curtains and changed the layout of the windows. Now the second floor is spacious and elegant. Sitting on the second floor, you can overlook the Lotus Lake in the rear. Especially now it''s June, and the lotus is opening first. It''s the best time to appreciate it. "


    Cai Di said, "let''s go and have a look."


    "Please


    Dunch waved his hand.


    Cai Di nodded and went straight to the second floor.


    The second floor has been completely rearranged, with tables on it. The daylighting of this floor is very good. The sun rises early and the golden light falls into the room. It''s bright and comfortable. It''s even more comfortable to enjoy the lotus lake outside the window.


    Cai Di satisfied with the way: "you work, is to let people rest assured."


    "It''s also Deng''s honor for Zhou Mu to choose to hold a cultural meeting in Lianxiang building," Deng said


    "If only you knew!" Cai Di said, "you can do it. I''m going down."


    Cai Di went downstairs to inspect the preparation of drinks and dishes. When Cai Di was busy, Liu Qi, Liu Cong and Liu Xiu went to the restaurant first.


    Cai Mao looked at Liu Qi and Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Qi and Mr. Xiu, you can go upstairs and have a rest."


    Liu Qi answered directly and said, "since that''s the case, it''s hard for Mr. de Li!"


    Without thinking about it, Liu Qi turned and went upstairs.


    However, Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Mr. de Li, I don''t speak after my second brother. It''s an eye opener. You and the second brother are busy. Don''t worry about me. "


    Cai Mao frowned slightly and looked at Liu Xiu. He was silent for a moment and finally nodded.


    After all, Liu Xiu is Liu Biao''s son.


    Cai Mao stood on Liu Cong''s side, but he couldn''t go too far, and Liu Xiu''s request was reasonable.


    Liu Cong snorted, very unhappy. But when he thought about it, he thought that when people came and went later, Liu Xiu was standing behind him as if he were a member of the class. He was very happy and said, "well, I''ll let you follow. But remember, don''t talk


    Liu Xiu said: "second brother, don''t worry, I understand."


    As for Cai Mao''s arrangement, Liu xiuxin was very clear.


    The reason why Liu Cong was invited to participate in the reception was that Cai Mao wanted to introduce Liu Cong to the participants. In this way, Liu Cong can at least be familiar with all the participants. Cai Mao didn''t introduce him, but standing behind Liu Cong, he was able to know who was coming through CAI Mao''s introduction, and he was able to deal with it when the conference began.


    "Mr. ejie is here!"


    Not long after, a servant of Lianxiang building sang loudly.


    After hearing this, Cai Mao nodded to Liu Cong and took the initiative to meet him.


    Yi Ji is in his early 40s. He is tall and handsome. He has a long beard under his jaw. He is elegant and dignified. Yi Ji was born in Shanyang County of Yanzhou, and he was a fellow townsman and friend of Liu Biao. In Jingzhou, Yi Ji was not only a subordinate of Liu Biao, but also a friend. He had a special status. Even when Cai Mao met Yi Ji, he was polite.


    Cai Mao stepped forward and said, "brother Ji, welcome."


    Liu Cong arched his hand and said, "Mr. Ji Bo, you are very polite!"


    Liu Xiu then said, "Mr. Ji Bo, you are very polite!"


    With a smile, Cai Mao pointed to Liu Cong and said, "my Lord asked Mr. Cong to join me in this meeting. Excuse me, I can''t accompany brother Ji. Please go up to the second floor to enjoy the lotus


    "Well, you can be busy."


    Yi Ji nodded to Liu Cong, glanced at Liu Xiu and went straight into Lianxiang building.


    Liu Cong looked sinister and said, "didn''t you hear what I said just now? I told you not to talk at will. "


    Liu Xiu said: "second brother, I''m not polite. It doesn''t matter if the other party doesn''t recognize me. However, once the other party recognizes me and sees me standing numbly, I''m afraid they will think that my father''s teaching is useless, so I have to salute. I won''t talk if the other person doesn''t ask. "Liu Cong said in a cold voice: "you do it yourself!"


    Liu xiudao: "second brother, don''t worry. I know what to do."


    Cai Mao''s eyes toward Liu Xiu gradually became dignified.


    Judging from the simple conversation just now, Cai Mao felt that Liu Xiu was very mature and steady, and he didn''t have the impetuous arrogance of young people. His words were neither humble nor overbearing, and even made people feel difficult to grasp.


    "Here comes Mr. Kuai Liang!"


    "Here comes Mr. Kuai Yue!"


    Loud voice, one after another.


    Cai Mao led Liu Cong and Liu Xiu to meet them in person. Then, he repeated that Liu Biao arranged for him and Liu Cong to receive them. Liu Xiu followed suit and said nothing else.


    Liu Xiu understood that Cai Mao deliberately deepened Liu Cong''s position in the hearts of the public.


    In succession, Jingzhou civil servants, as well as the scholars who attended the meeting, arrived one after another.


    Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Meng Jian, Shi Tao, Meng Gongwei and others also came to Lianxiang building. When Liu Xiu saw the people, he was really excited for a while, and then recovered his peace.


    These people are talented people.


    However, no one knew him. Liu Xiu just saw him one by one and didn''t talk to him.


    More and more people came. Some people Liu Xiu knew, others Liu Xiu didn''t. Liu Xiu took heart and wrote down the names of the people one by one. The other party doesn''t know Liu Xiu. It doesn''t matter. Liu Xiu can always find a place to write down the name of the other party.


    Most of them have arrived.


    Cai Mao thought for a while, and said, "there are also Pang Degong, Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan."


    "Mr. pound is here!"


    "Mr. Sima Hui is here!"


    "Mr. Huang Chengyan is here!"


    Loud singing, one after another.


    Cai Mao''s face was serious. He stretched out his hand to straighten up his wrinkled clothes and said, "Mr. Cong, this is the most important person. Follow me and deal with it carefully." Cai Mao attached great importance to the three men. Pang Degong had a great influence among Jingzhou scholars. If Liu Cong was praised and favored by them, it would be of great help for Liu Cong to take over Jingzhou.


    Soon, Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui came together. Three people are Bo collar shirt, neatly dressed, walk between the belt when the wind, elegant extraordinary, heart breaking.


    Cai Mao took the initiative to greet him, saluted and said, "three gentlemen, I''ve worked hard all the way."


    Liu Cong said, "I''ve met three gentlemen!"


    Liu Xiu said, "I''ve met three gentlemen!"


    In the face of the three, Liu Xiu felt a little excited and calm.


    Cai Maobai pointed to Liu Cong and said, "Mr. three, this is Mr. Cong. This time Jingzhou culture meeting, Zhou Mu asked Cong Gongzi and I to come to meet. "


    With a smile on his face, Liu Cong saluted with respect.


    Pound''s three people began to praise each other, but they were all cliches and didn''t make much sense. Immediately, Pound''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu and asked, "De Li, who is this?"


    Cai Mao''s heart thumped. How did Pang Degong ask Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 15

    Cai Mao smiles and replies, "Mr. De Gong, this is Liu Xiu, the third son of the Lord. He is also one of the members of the literary society."


    Liu Xiulian said: "I''ve met Mr. De Gong!"


    With that, Liu Xiu looked at Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan and said, "Mr. moral, Mr. Chengyan, I''m very polite."


    Pang Degong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "when I learned that Liu Jingzhou had held a cultural fair, I still wondered if the little friends association would participate. I didn''t expect that Xiaoyou was the third son of Liu Jingzhou. It''s really unexpected. "


    Sima Hui joked: "Xiaoyou, you are not honest."


    In a word, with a sense of humor, but reveals that the relationship between the two sides is not general.


    Liu Xiu replied, "it''s all the boy''s fault. If the three gentlemen want to fight or scold, the boy will admit it."


    "That''s all. I''ll see you later."


    Pang Degong laughed and went upstairs with Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan.


    Cai Mao stares at Liu Xiu and suddenly feels that he can''t see through Liu Xiu. From the conversation between Pang Degong and Liu Xiu just now, Cai Mao can see that Pang Degong attaches great importance to Liu Xiu and his relationship is even more extraordinary. However, Liu Xiu was powerless and unknown. When did he catch up with pound?


    Liu Cong stood aside, Junlang''s face was black. He fixed his eyes on Liu Xiu and said in a deep voice, "if the third brother is really a good means, he even knows Pang Degong and others, which makes the second brother admire him."


    Liu Xiu calm expression way: "second brother flattered, I was lucky, occasionally met Mr. De Gong once."


    As soon as Liu Cong turns his mouth, he looks like you are deceiving ghosts.


    Only once, pound guild is such a gesture, it is impossible.


    "I saw them just now. It seems that I am very happy to see them." Not far away, Liu Biao came striding forward, wearing a royal dress, a Jinxian crown and a sword.


    With a smile, Cai Mao replied: "Lord, the lotus flowers in Lianhu are blooming. Today is the best time to watch the lotus. The three of them were in high spirits and quite happy. My Lord, it''s just the right time to hold the conference. "


    Liu Xiu said, "my son has seen my father!"


    Liu Xiu didn''t say anything superfluous and didn''t show off his conversation with pound.


    Cai Mao was worried about Liu Xiu''s disorderly speech. After listening to Liu Xiu''s words, he was relieved. But Liu Xiu''s calmness and calmness is no less than that of an adult, which makes Cai Mao feel like facing an old fox. This boy is not easy to deal with.


    Liu Cong also followed: "my son has seen his father!"


    Liu Biao nodded slightly, looked at Liu Cong and Liu Xiu with satisfaction, and asked, "where''s Liu Qi?"


    Liu Cong immediately said, "brother, take a rest upstairs!"


    In a word, there was a flash of anger on Liu Biao''s face, and then he was calm again.


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he felt a little stunned, and immediately recovered his calm.


    After listening to Liu Cong''s words, Liu Xiu was more cautious. He didn''t expect that a simple greeting would be insidious. Liu Biao should have given Cai Mao full responsibility for the reception. However, Cai Mao asked Liu Xiu and Liu Qi to go upstairs and Liu Cong to follow him. If Liu Xiu also went to the second floor, now, Liu Biao would be angry with Liu Xiu.


    At the beginning, Liu Xiu didn''t understand Cai Mao''s plot. He just wanted to get to know more people. He didn''t expect that this would happen now. Fortunately, he didn''t go up, otherwise he would be given a hand by Liu Congyin.


    Cai Mao also looks at Liu Xiu. From Liu Xiu''s eyes, he understands that the other party sees it. However, Cai Mao believes that Liu Xiu is a smart man and can''t talk nonsense.


    Cai Mao waved his hand and said, "my Lord, we are all here. Please, my Lord!"


    Liu Biao said, "go!"


    Liu Biao was the first, Cai Mao was the second, Liu Cong and Liu Xiu were the last.


    On the second floor, Liu Biao was seated in the main seat in the center, while Cai Mao and Liu Cong were seated in the front. Only Liu Xiu''s position is at the end of the right side.


    This situation has fallen into the eyes of those who intend to do so.


    Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui laughed at each other and did not speak.


    Liu Biao, as the leader of Jingzhou, attended today''s conference without any politeness. He picked up the wine bottle and delivered his opening speech. After some opening remarks, Liu Biao waved his hand and said, "today, I appreciate Lianhu and make friends with literature. I hope you can show your talents and strengths."


    Cai Mao echoed: "my Lord is right!"


    Liu Biao shook his head and said, "today is a time to make friends by writing. We don''t talk about business, and we don''t talk about official status."


    Cai Mao understood Liu Biao''s meaning, knew that Liu Biao should not only have the superior position of the state herdsman, but also be approachable, and let the atmosphere warm. He immediately changed his words and said, "King Shenggong, I''m not polite. Today, the lotus is in full bloom in the lotus lake. It''s better to take the lotus as the title. Please write poems and Fu to make friends with literature. "


    Liu Biao said with a smile: "De Li''s words are reasonable. It should be so!"


    Pang Degong''s mouth was filled with a smile. When they met Liu Xiu, they were also here. They also took the lotus as the topic. Now the lotus meeting is held again.


    Sima Hui said in a low voice: "Duke De, do you think that boy can make a poem about lotus?"Huang Chengyan looked at Liu Xiu''s direction and said, "maybe, but this boy suffered a little bit. After all, he has already written a poem, and it''s a bit difficult to write another one. "


    "Just wait and see," he said


    "I have a poem for you to appreciate."


    The speaker is a child of the Kuai family. His name is Kuai Che. He stood up, went to the window near Lianhu, stopped for a moment, and began to sing aloud. Kuai Che''s voice is sonorous and profound, adding momentum when he sings poems.


    When a poem is finished, there is a lot of praise.


    Kuai Che''s modest refusal, with a modest smile on his face, returned to his seat.


    "I also have a poem. Please appreciate it."


    The speaker is a child of the Cai family. His name is Cai Zhen. He also went to the lotus lake, carefully observed the lotus lake outside the window, and began to recite poems. Compared with Kuai Che''s poems, Cai Zhen''s poems are different in style, but they are not equal.


    After Cai Zhen stepped down, there was another burst of praise and encouragement.


    With the appearance of Kuai Che and Cai Zhen, the atmosphere of the conference gradually became lively.


    Young children of various families recite poems and write Fu one after another.


    Yiji, Kuai Liang, Pang Degong, Sima Hui and other people who attended the meeting were all first-class celebrities. If they were praised and commented by one of them, it would be a chance for them to make progress.


    All of a sudden, Liu Cong stood up and said, "boy Liu Cong, I also wrote a poem. Please comment on it." In front of everyone, Liu conglang sang his lotus poem.


    As soon as the poem comes out, countless people praise it.


    Liu Cong is Liu Biao''s son. He has to take care of Liu Biao''s face. Anyway, we have to praise it. Liu Cong listened to the praise of the people, with a trace of pride on his face. He took a look at Liu Xiu and sat down.


    Liu Biao''s mood at this time is also quite comfortable.


    His son was praised, and he was proud to be a father.


    Suddenly, Liu Cong arched his hand and said, "father, the third younger brother has outstanding talent. It''s better for him to write a poem."


    Liu Biao frowned slightly. He didn''t know how talented Liu Xiu was. In front of everyone, Liu Biao could not refuse Liu Cong''s request and asked, "Xiuer, do you have the courage to recite a poem?"


    Liu Xiu got up and said, "if the father had orders, the son would make a fool of himself."


    Liu Cong''s heart was very excited, and his eyes flashed a look of celebration and joy. But in front of everyone, he made a look of expectation and said, "third brother, I''m looking forward to your excellent work."


    Liu Xiu sneers in his heart. Liu Cong''s purpose is to make a fool of him in public.


    Liu Xiu faced all the people in the hall, bowed his hands, and said: "I''m not so talented and learned. Please give me more advice."


    He spoke neither humbly nor haughtily, and behaved appropriately, which made people praise him secretly.

 Chapter 16

    Sima Hui sat next to Mr. pound and said in a low voice, "Mr. pound, that boy''s situation is not good. Father doesn''t like it and brother doesn''t love it. It''s really hard for him. "


    Pound Fair: "moral, distinguish the occasion, don''t talk."


    Sima Hui nodded and said nothing.


    Pang Degong looks at Liu Xiu and looks at Liu Biao with a trace of disgust in his doubt. He suddenly understands Liu Xiu''s refusal to speak to the media that day. In Liu Xiu''s case, I''m afraid that I can''t make my own decisions about getting married.


    "What kind of lotus poem can this boy make?"


    Pound was worried, but full of expectation.


    Liu Xiu sat at the end of the window. He was close to the window and looked at the lotus flowers outside. Liu Xiu thought carefully. In the presence of Jingzhou scholars, Liu Xiu''s poems must fit the scene.


    Compared with the last time I came to Lianxiang building, the lotus flowers in Lianhu lake have been blooming.


    The red and the white meet each other.


    Lotus leaves, spread on the green lake, the scenery is pleasant.


    After a long time without seeing Liu Xiu speak, Liu Cong suddenly interjected: "third brother, brother Kuai Jiache and brother Cai Jiazhen are all quick witted and easy to compose poems. You''ve been looking out of the window for a long time, but you still don''t speak. If you can''t think of it, it''s no shame to admit it. "


    It seems to be a breakthrough, but in fact there is a hidden opportunity, with the intention of satirizing Liu Xiu.


    Cai Mao took a sip of his drink and said, "Mr. Xiu doesn''t read much, so he can''t do it. I don''t think all of you here will blame him. Don''t worry, Mr. Xiu. "


    When he opened his mouth, everyone in the audience heard the voice out of his words.


    On the surface, it''s relief, but in fact, it''s aimed at.


    If Liu Xiu really can''t write poetry, no one here will embarrass him, but who will look up at him? In the eyes of Jingzhou scholars, Liu Xiu is a vulgar person who does not understand poetry and books, and is not worthy of respect.


    Liu Xiu sneers in his heart. Liu Cong and Cai Mao wear the same pair of trousers. He has already recognized the meaning of the pair.


    Suddenly, Liu Xiu squinted at Liu Biao.


    At this time, Liu Biao''s face was a little gloomy. He seemed unhappy and angry, as if he felt that Liu Xiu had lost his face.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu had no hope in his heart. He stood up and said in a loud voice, "gentlemen, I think of a poem. Please appreciate it. "Red and white lotus"


    Mr. pound said with a smile: "I''m all ears


    Sima Hui said, "come on, come on!"


    Liu Xiu bowed slightly to them, and then said in a loud voice:


    the red and white lotus blooms in the pond, and the two colors are fragrant.


    It''s just like three thousand women in Han Palace, half with heavy makeup and half with light makeup.


    After reciting a piece of "red and white lotus", Liu Xiu said in an unassuming and unassuming way: "young man, you are not wise enough. Please comment on it."


    After reading it, Sima Hui was even more elated and praised: "a song of red and white lotus written by young master Xiu enjoys both refined and popular tastes. It is simple but elegant, elegant but exquisite, and can be called a wonderful piece."


    The rest echoed this conclusion.


    Liu Cong''s face was as deep as water, and there was a trace of jealousy in his eyes. He had just finished his poem and was praised by many scholars in Jingzhou, but he could also hear that they were all hypocritical, and there were no waves of praise.


    Liu Xiu''s song "red and white lotus" is not very good for him. On the contrary, it is praised by the public.


    In my heart, I feel very uncomfortable.


    Cai Mao had been informed by CAI in advance that Liu Xiu didn''t read much. He thought Liu Xiu would lose face when he was made difficult. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu was so outstanding that the artistic conception of a lotus poem was far superior to others, and even Cai Mao appreciated it.


    Appreciation belongs to appreciation, but the positions of both sides can not be changed.


    Cai Mao''s manner should not be changed. He said: "a poem written by Mr. Xiu is superior to others. In the process of reciting poems, Mr. Xiu is worthy of asking, but Liu Xiu knows that it can''t be changed. In front of Liu Biao, Pang Degong, Yi Ji, Zhuge Liang and others, once Liu Xiu refuses, he will admit that he is incompetent.


    Liu Xiumian with a smile, said: "thank you, Mr. de Li, the boy once again


    Mr. pound said, "master Xiu, I''m looking forward to it."


    "I don''t deserve your praise, sir."


    Pang Degong''s public support made Liu Xiu feel warm. He and Pang Degong only met each other once, and only had a talk in Lianxiang building that day, there was no intersection. However, Liu Xiu was moved by Pang Degong''s selfless support.


    Liu Xiu is tall and dignified. Today, he is dressed magnificently and has extraordinary appearance. He glanced at all the people in the hall. After thinking for a moment, he said, "my son''s article is entitled" on Ailian. "


    Everyone looked at Liu Xiu and waited quietly.


    Liu Xiu''s mood calmed down and became more calm. He said in a loud voice:


    "flowers of land and water plants are very lovely."


    "Chu and Qu Yuan loved chrysanthemum alone. Since Qin and Han Dynasties, people have loved peony more. You can only see the lotus from a distance and not play with it. ""Yu means chrysanthemum, the hermit of flowers; peony, the rich of flowers; lotus, the gentleman of flowers. Gee! The love of chrysanthemum is seldom heard by Qu Hou. Who will share the love of lotus? The love of peony is suitable for all. "


    Zhou Dunyi''s love lotus is one of the most famous articles about lotus.


    This article can be called an eternal prose.


    Liu Xiu finished reading, facing the crowd, arched his hand and said: "boy, I''m sorry, please judge."


    "The lotus is good, the article is good, the person is more wonderful."


    In Xu Shu''s eyes, he showed deep appreciation and admiration.


    Pang Tong muttered: "as soon as this article is published, today''s Yonglian article is no longer interesting."


    On Zhuge Liang''s handsome cheek, there was also a strong interest. He also knows about the situation of the prefecture. Liu Biao''s third son, Liu Qi, the eldest son, is not valued, and no one cares about him; Liu Biao''s second son is deeply loved and hot; Liu Xiu, the third son, is a commoner, and his native place is unknown.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu is brilliant.


    Meng Gongwei, Shi Tao and others also showed curiosity in their eyes and admired Liu Xiu''s literary talent.


    In a short period of time, it is amazing to make such a wonderful article.


    People in the hall praised and admired each other.


    Liu Xiu''s literary talent won people''s praise.


    Pang Degong stroked his beard and said, "if you want to express your will by borrowing things, you should be like a lotus. If you come out of the mud, you will not dye it. If you have a direct connection between the middle and the outside, you should be called a" Lotus gentleman. "


    Sima Hui echoed: "yes, yes, the name of lotus gentleman is worthy of the name."


    After hearing this, they all called the lotus gentleman.


    For a moment, Liu Xiu''s title of "Lotus gentleman" was recognized by the public.


    Looking at Liu Biao, Pang Degong said, "Liu Jingzhou has a son like this. Congratulations. It''s a tiger father without a dog."


    Liu Biao said modestly: "Pang Gong praised it!"


    Although he is modest, everyone can see that Liu Biao is very happy. The younger generation in Jingzhou, Wolong Zhuge Liang and fengxiao pangtong, are not Liu Biao''s people, and they don''t want to be used by Liu Biao. This is Liu Biao''s heart knot. Now, in front of all the literati in Jingzhou, Liu Xiu''s literary talent is superior to others. It''s conceivable that Liu Biao''s heart is proud, and his mood is very comfortable.


    Cai Mao sighed when he saw Liu Biao''s expression.


    His original intention was to embarrass Liu Xiu, but he didn''t expect to be self defeating. Instead, he made Liu Xiu successful.


    In Liu Cong''s eyes, he was even more angry.


    He proposed to Cai that Liu Xiu could not understand poetry and wanted to take advantage of it. Unexpectedly, this time the man who showed his face became Liu Xiu, and he became Liu Xiu''s stepping stone.


    Pound suddenly said, "I have a lotus poem, but it''s not written by Lao Jiu. It''s hard to get together today. I''ll tell you. Please comment on it. "


    Liu Biao was in a good mood and said, "what can keep Pang Gong in mind must be extraordinary."


    The crowd echoed, with a look of expectation on their faces.


    On the one hand, Pang Degong is a hermit, independent of fame and wealth; on the other hand, Pang Degong has a broad knowledge of classics, brilliant literary talent, and has a great reputation; on the other hand, Pang Degong was born in the Pang family in Jingzhou.


    As soon as he opened his mouth, even Liu Xiu''s fame was suppressed.


    Pang Degong glanced at Liu Xiu and said, "the title of the poem is a feeling of watching lotus lake!"


    Liu Xiu''s look is strange, and the feeling of watching Lotus Lake is just what he wrote when he saw Pang Degong and others? What is the purpose of Pound''s moving out his poem again?

 Chapter 17

    Sima Hui sat beside him with a smile in his heart.


    Liu Xiu wrote the feeling of watching Lotus Lake in Lianxiang building before.


    Once this poem is published, Liu Xiu''s reputation will probably go to a higher level.


    Huang Chengyan sits next to Sima Hui and is also very close to Pang Degong. He is also a famous scholar in Jingzhou and has a family background. Although Huang Chengyan is indifferent to the world, his mind is penetrating. Pang Degong so clearly supported Liu Xiu, but Huang Chengyan could not understand. Liu Xiu is the common son of Liu Biao. He is not valued. Why should Pang Degong be involved?


    Cai Mao couldn''t wait to say, "please don''t let Pang Gong play tricks any more. All of you here are waiting anxiously."


    People are looking forward to persuasion.


    Pound''s face was calm, and he said:


    the spring was silent, cherishing the trickle, the shade of the tree shining on the water, loving the sunshine and softness.


    The lotus has just shown its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has been standing on it for a long time.


    With that, pound said justly: "this poem, written when the lotus is just budding, is a little friend''s feeling about the lotus."


    Liu Cong''s eyes twinkled, and could not wait to say: "this poem of Mr. Liu has a high artistic conception. It has a sense of hierarchy and is like an ink painting. Compared with his third brother''s Lotus poem, the feeling of watching Lotus Lake is better."


    Caught the opportunity to attack Liu Xiu, Liu Cong immediately attacked.


    Cai Mao thought for a moment, and then he said, "as far as the matter is concerned, Mr. Cong''s analysis is reasonable."


    With Pang Degong''s poems, Liu Cong and Cai Mao can''t wait to attack Liu Xiu.


    In Liu Xiu''s heart, there was a bad smile. He wrote both the feeling of watching Lotus Lake and the lotus poem. Liu Xiu and Cai Mao can only make people laugh by judging their superiors in this way, but only Liu Cong and Cai Mao are shameful.


    Liu Biao didn''t like Liu Xiu, but he didn''t want Liu Xiu''s popularity to be suppressed. He changed the topic and said, "Pang Gong, who wrote this poem?"


    Pound is fair: "the poet is far away and near, and he is in the hall."


    Liu Biao didn''t think it was Liu Xiu. He asked, "is it Zhuge Kongming?"


    Zhuge Liang said hastily: "Zhou mu, this poem is not written by me. I''m also very curious. Who made such a wonderful poem? "


    Liu Biao turned his eyes, looked at Pang Tong and asked, "is it Pang Shiyuan?"


    Pang Tong shook his head and said, "it''s not me!"


    Liu Biao couldn''t guess who it was. He asked, "Pang Gong, who made it?" Although Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Yi Ji and others under his command are also talented people, they still have no such ability.


    Other people in the hall were also intrigued. It''s a great honor for them to know such a person with great literary talent.


    Pound replied, "the author of this poem is young master Xiu."


    "Wow


    In an instant, there was an uproar in the hall.


    Liu Cong''s face was livid. He compared Liu Xiu''s poems just now, but in a twinkling of an eye, both of them were written by Liu Xiu. In this way, his comparison is more clumsy, and the heart of Liu Xiu is more obvious.


    Cai Mao''s face was strange. For a moment, he couldn''t understand Liu Xiu. He couldn''t understand Liu Xiu.


    Liu Biao''s mood in this poem is extremely comfortable. In front of everyone''s face, he could not be too proud. He had to pretend to be light hearted and said, "it''s Liu Xiu. Pang Gong is too serious. It''s not worth it."


    When they heard this, they knew that Liu Biao was stealing music.


    Pound praised: "Liu Jingzhou is so modest and his family style is so good. No wonder master Xiu is so outstanding."


    Liu Biao''s heart is full of joy.


    At this time, Liu Xiu was pushed to the top of the storm by pound. One by one, they looked at him with an incredible look, admiration, jealousy, and hopelessness. Liu Xiu''s two lotus poems and a story about love lotus are insurmountable, and it is difficult to make such a classic article.


    Liu Biao''s eyes swept over Pang Degong and Liu Xiu, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.


    All along, pound was not used by him. As one of the rich families in Jingzhou, Pang family is also detached and hardly participates in Jingzhou''s government affairs.


    In this way, it is out of the control of Liu Biao.


    Liu Biao looked solemn and asked, "what does Pang Gong think of Liu Xiu, my third son?"


    Pound didn''t even think about it. He replied directly: "Mr. Xiu has outstanding talent and is calm. He can be called a young hero."


    The smile on Liu Xiu''s face was even more intense, and he continued: "Mr. Pang praised this boy so much. So far, Xiuer has been studying behind closed doors and has never been a teacher. It''s hard to do something behind closed doors. I''m going to let Xiuer worship Pang Gong as a teacher. How about that? "


    Brush!


    In the hall, people were shocked.


    No one expected that Liu Biao would make such a request.


    Liu Cong, in particular, was infuriated.


    Pang Degong was a great Confucian in Jingzhou. If he could take Pang Degong as his teacher, it would be of great help for him to inherit the post of animal husbandry in Jingzhou. However, Liu Cong could not refute, but could only tightly clench his fists to suppress his anger.Cai Mao knew that something bad was going to happen, so he hurriedly said, "not my Lord!"


    "Why not?" Liu Biao asked with a frown.


    Cai Mao was dumb for a while. Immediately, he explained: "Lord, xiugongzi is nearly 20 years old. After he is crowned, he will become an official and share part of the government affairs for him. I''m afraid it''s not right to ask Master Xiu to be a teacher now. Please think twice. "


    This kind of reason sounds awkward and even more untenable.


    People looked at Cai Mao with strange eyes.


    However, Liu Xiu''s heart is hot, trying to suppress his excitement.


    He always wanted to learn from Mr. pound.


    Did not expect, but now through the mouth of Liu Biao put forward.


    With a smile on his face, Liu said: "De Li, I''ll talk about Xiuer''s share of government affairs later. If you don''t study, you don''t understand reason, you don''t understand the world, why should you act as an administrative agent? Because of this, we should learn from Pang Gong. "


    After a pause, Liu Biao asked again, "what does Pang Gong mean?"


    Pang Degong looked at Liu Xiu and said in a loud voice, "it''s very lucky that some people are like this! I accepted xiugongzi, but when I came into my family, I had to listen to him. During xiugongzi''s stay in lumen mountain, Liu Jingzhou was not allowed to interfere in xiugongzi''s teaching. "


    Liu Biao chuckled and said, "Pang Gong taught me that I should be at ease."


    Immediately, Liu Biao said: "Xiuer, don''t you worship your teacher?"


    Liu Xiu suppressed the joy in his heart. He went to Pang Degong, folded his hands, and bowed to him with a long bow. "Disciple Liu Xiu, meet the teacher." This bow, however, was sincere, not for anything else but for the protection of Lord pound.


    Lord pound nodded, "sit behind me."


    Immediately, a servant prepared a seat behind him, and Liu Xiu quickly sat down.


    Such a good thing, many people celebrate again and again.


    Liu Biao achieved his goal and said, "it''s better to bump into the sun than choose a day. Today, you can go with Pang Gong. The clothes you change will be sent to lumen mountain by my father. "


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu replied.


    However, Pang Degong waved his hand and said, "Liu Jingzhou, the attendants and clothes of the prefecture do not need to be sent to lumen mountain. Since Xiuer is a teacher, he will obey my arrangement. In lumen mountain, everything is simple and everything follows the rules of lumen mountain. "


    Liu watches with a smile: "Pang Gong has the final say, so we can do that."


    Looking at Liu Xiu, Liu Biao asked: "Xiuer, when you get to lumen mountain, you should follow Pang Gong''s instruction. You should learn from Pang Gong one by one when you study and be a man. Don''t be presumptuous. Do you understand?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "my son understands!"


    Liu Biao nodded slightly, with a strong smile on his face.


    In Liu Biao''s opinion, the most successful thing to hold the Jingzhou cultural fair this time is not to know Liu Xiu''s brilliant literary talent, but to let Liu Xiu worship Pang Degong as a teacher. This is what Liu Biao is most happy about.

 Chapter 18

    "Wheel! Wheel


    The wheels turn and go slowly.


    In the carriage, Pang Degong and Liu Xiu sat opposite each other.


    At this time, Liu Xiu was still a little nervous in the face of pound. Pang Degong defended him and appreciated him, but he accepted him because Liu Biao mentioned it. Liu Xiu didn''t know what Pang Degong thought.


    With a serious look, pound said, "Xiuer, do you know why your father asked you to worship me as a teacher?"


    Liu Xiu frowned at this.


    Liu Xiu was so excited that he forgot himself for a moment.


    Even what Liu Xiu considered was what pound thought.


    But from beginning to end, Liu Xiu did not consider Liu Biao''s intention and purpose.


    When Pang Degong mentioned it, Liu Xiu woke up and reminded himself in his heart that "he was overjoyed and forgot his identity and situation. It''s too careless to live the third life again. We must be alert. We can''t make such mistakes again in the future. "


    Liu Xiu began to reflect.


    Pang Degong saw Liu Xiu''s face change, and his face showed a trace of appreciation.


    When he came out of Lianxiang building, Pang Degong saw Liu xiuxi and his appearance, which was quite different from the calm when he met in Lianxiang building in the past. He can understand the joy of Liu Xiu''s teacher worship, and his heart is also happy. From this point of view, Liu Xiu is absolutely willing to worship him as a teacher.


    However, if his disciples don''t even have the mood of happiness and anger, let alone what they will achieve in the future.


    So, Mr. pound asked for some advice.


    Liu Xiu awakened, and Pang Degong appreciated it.


    Pound''s face softened and he asked, "Hugh, does your father really want you to worship me as a teacher?"


    Liu xiushun thought, said: "father''s favorite is the second brother, because of birth, I was not valued by my father since childhood. Therefore, father can''t really want his disciples to worship their teachers. "


    Mr. pound nodded slightly and said again, "now that you understand, I''ll ask you, why do you worship your teacher?"


    Liu Xiu thought carefully in his heart.


    After a long time, the look on Liu Xiu''s face was even more gloomy.


    "Do you understand?" he asked


    Liu Xiu said, "I understand!"


    Pound just said, "let''s hear it!"


    Liu Xiu replied, "my father asked his disciples to worship their teachers, but he wanted to make all the connections between them. Before that, the teacher hid in lumen mountain, ignored worldly affairs, and did not work for his father. Because of his face and reputation, his father could not tear his face with the teacher, so he could only let the teacher live in seclusion in lumen mountain. Now, after the disciples worship the teacher, there will be more contact between the teacher and the father. It can be said that they control the teacher in disguise. "


    At this point, Liu Xiu was ashamed and said, "teacher, it''s the disciples who are dragging you down."


    Liu Xiu had a deep respect for Pang Degong.


    "You''re right, but you''re not accurate," he said with a chuckle


    Liu xiudao: "please teach me!"


    Pang Degong said in a deep voice: "in Jingzhou, I didn''t obey your father''s arrangement. I was called up many times, but I didn''t accept orders. In this way, your father will think that being a teacher is no longer in control. "


    "Your father''s purpose is three."


    "First, there is an extra layer of connection between my teacher and your father. No matter good or bad, there is always something involved."


    "Second, your father takes this opportunity to declare that he is now in charge of being a teacher."


    "Third, the teachers are all subject to your father''s arrangement. Can the rest of the people in Jingzhou who are hidden in the mountains be left alone? Your father also wants to further control the scholars in Jingzhou. "


    "In other words, it''s just your father''s move to learn from your teacher. As for whether you can make achievements and learn knowledge under your teacher''s guidance, it''s not in your father''s consideration."


    Pound''s face was serious and he said, "is it too cruel for you, teacher?"


    Liu xiudao: "I have experienced something more cruel than this."


    When pound heard this, he was dumb and showed a trace of pity on his face. He said, "I was born in a common family. My father doesn''t love me, and my brother doesn''t love me. I''ve wronged you."


    For Liu Xiu''s situation, pound has seen it.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "the sages once said that heaven will bring great responsibility to this people. We must first work hard and work hard In the eyes of the disciples, all the hardships they have experienced are the tempering and testing of the disciples. "


    Good, good


    Pound Gonglian said three good words, and his appreciation was beyond expression.


    After a pause, pound said fairly: "it seems that what you said in Lianxiang building that day is not only your analysis of the situation, but also your plan for yourself. Jingzhou wants to take advantage of the chaos, and you want to take advantage of it, right? "


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "the teacher''s eyes are burning!"


    "I didn''t expect that when I was nearly sixty years old, the last closed disciple had such ambition." As he stroked his beard under his jaw, Pang De Gong felt more and more happy. He asked, "do you know that this is the most difficult road, especially because of your inherent lack of identity? To be in charge of Jingzhou, we have to pay more. It''s not so easy to be the little Marquis of Jingzhou. "Liu Xiu replied: "the road is difficult and difficult, and the disciples will never step back."


    Pound is just: "it''s better to have a goal."


    After a pause, Mr. pound said with emotion: "the disciples I taught are all ministers. Although they are extremely talented, they do not have the appearance of a hero in troubled times. Teaching you is also a test for me. "


    As a famous scholar, pound also had a cavity of ambition in his heart.


    Pound didn''t want to be involved in the vanity fair, but it didn''t show that he had no desire.


    Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and other talented people are outstanding. They have the talent of generals. In fact, Pang Degong teaches students in accordance with their aptitude and does not teach them all.


    Pound''s words changed, and suddenly said, "I know Liu Biao''s intention, but I insist on accepting you. I know why?"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "I don''t know!"


    Pound just color way: "I accept you, there are four reasons!"


    "First, let your father be at ease. I''m powerless and powerless, but it''s not good to be remembered all the time. I''ll take you as an apprentice. Your father will be at ease from now on, and I''ll sleep well. "


    "Second, because you can be outstanding. If I don''t accept you as an apprentice, you will be suppressed everywhere in the prefecture. Maybe there will be other ways, but there will always be many detours. It''s better for me to send you to Qingyun. "


    "Third, I don''t want Jingzhou to fall into war. Lianxiang Lou talks freely. I see the future of Jingzhou and the possibility that Jingzhou will not be occupied. I''m also from Jingzhou. Naturally, I don''t want my hometown occupied by Cao thieves. So I hope you can take on the big responsibility, let Jingzhou based on troubled times, let Jingzhou not be embezzled


    "Fourth, I want to have a try and see if I can teach a hero to come out."


    Speaking of the fourth reason, Pound''s eyes were shining with the essence of Taoism. At that moment, there was an inexplicable momentum in Pound''s body, which shocked Liu xiudu.


    Liu Xiu understood that pound really accepted him and was already making friends with him.


    At this moment, Liu Xiu was Pang Degong''s disciple.


    Liu Xiugong got up with his back on his back, knelt down in the carriage and solemnly said, "I will live up to the teacher''s expectations."


    Pang Degong helped Liu xiudao up and said, "if you want to undertake a great responsibility, you will inevitably suffer the pain that ordinary people can''t bear, and you will also experience the suffering that ordinary people can''t bear. You have to be prepared for this. What''s more, you should be prepared to teach different people. "


    Liu xiudao: "it''s nothing to be tired because there is hope ahead."


    Pound sighed in his heart that his disciple, I''m afraid, had experienced too many grievances since he was a child. Pang Degong is also from a noble family. He can understand Liu Xiu''s situation. In fact, this is one of the reasons why he accepted Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 19

    Prefecture, backyard.


    Liu Cong was in a frenzy. In anger, the vases and screens in the room were overturned.


    The whole house was in a mess.


    Liu Cong didn''t expect that the Jingzhou culture society specially prepared for him made Liu Xiu a great success, and let Liu Xiu worship pound as his teacher. This result made Liu Cong angry.


    All this, should be his, but let Liu Xiu pick up cheap.


    "Liu Xiu, I will never let you go, never!"


    Liu Cong roared, his eyes were awe inspiring, and his heart was full of anger.


    "Dong! Dong


    Knock on the door, outside the room.


    "Young master, please welcome madam and commander CAI."


    Green willow''s voice sounded outside the room, standing outside the door, green willow''s heart is more scared. When Liu Cong was angry, other people in the house were frightened, for fear that he would be affected.


    Liu Cong was short of breath and gasped for breath. He took several deep breaths in succession. He suppressed his anger and said, "I know. I''ll go right away."


    Outside the room, green willow quickly retreated.


    After finishing his clothes and washing his face, Liu Cong went to Cai''s yard. When he came to Cai''s yard, a servant girl immediately took Liu Cong to the study.


    When the door closed, there were only Cai Shi, Cai Mao and Liu Cong in the study.


    Liu Cong couldn''t see the slightest anger on his face any more. He said with a smile, "what''s the matter with the mother looking for her son?"


    Cai said, "I''m here to talk about Liu Xiu."


    Referring to Liu Xiu, Liu Cong clenched his fist and asked, "how does mother plan to deal with Liu Xiu?"


    Cai shook his head and said, "after discussing with your uncle, I decided to ignore Liu Xiu for the time being." Liu Cong''s wife and child, Cai, is the daughter of CAI Mao''s cousin. The relationship between Liu Cong and Cai Mao is extraordinary.


    "Ah


    Liu Cong was surprised. His face looked unbelievable and asked, "why?"


    Liu Xiu, who is now a teacher of Pang Degong, poses a greater threat to Liu Cong.


    Cai Mao looked serious and said, "first of all, Liu Xiu worships Mr. pound as his teacher. In a short time, he has left the prefecture. He can''t be involved in the fight between you and Mr. Qi any more. He can''t pose a threat to you."


    "Second, Pang Degong is a famous scholar in Jingzhou with high prestige and unusual status, which is not easy to deal with. Although pound was not an official, his influence could not be ignored. As soon as Liu Xiu was a teacher, we would deal with Liu Xiu, which might offend Lord pound. Once things get big, it will affect your impression in the Lord''s mind. "


    "Third, the focus now is still on dealing with Liu Qi. As long as Liu Qi completely loses power and takes the initiative to appoint you to inherit Jingzhou, then your position will be stable. Liu Xiu can''t be compared with you in terms of origin or foundation. "


    Cai Mao looked serious and said, "at the Jingzhou literary festival, Liu Xiu was too brilliant. Your mother and I are worried that your impulsivity will affect the overall situation. If you don''t plan for a lifetime, you can''t plan for a while. At the critical moment, you must be tolerant. "


    Cai then said, "Cong''er, your uncle''s words are reasonable."


    Liu Cong''s face was livid, and his eyes twinkled with reluctance.


    He was too depressed to stop.


    Cai Mao scolded: "if you show off your courage for a while, your status may be affected in the end. It will be Liu Qi who will benefit. It''s just a matter of a word to deal with Liu Xiu after you have completely defeated Liu Qi. "


    Liu Cong took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "I understand!"


    Cai Mao nodded with satisfaction and said, "in fact, it doesn''t mean that we really don''t care about Liu Xiu."


    Liu conglian said, "what''s your uncle''s opinion?"


    "You don''t have to do anything. I''ll send someone to watch lumen mountain and Liu Xiu''s every move. As long as Liu Xiu is out of line, I will report to Zhou Mu immediately. One or two things, Zhou Mu may let it go, but the accumulation of more, naturally let Liu Xiu completely lose the trust of Zhou mu. "


    "Cong''er, let your uncle do what you want to do with Liu Xiu. Don''t worry about anything. Your task now is to read and win your father''s trust. Leave the rest to your uncle. "


    Liu Cong nodded heavily and said, "mother, don''t worry. Cong''er understands."


    In the study, as the conversation continued, the atmosphere gradually warmed up, full of cheerful laughter.


    ¡­¡­


    Lumen mountain, formerly known as suling mountain, is located in the southeast of Xiangyang.


    Lumen mountain is close to the Han River and faces Xianshan, a famous mountain in Jingzhou.


    It is said that when Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty Liu Xiu visited Jingzhou and suling mountain, he and his minister Xi Yu dreamed of two sika deer. Liu Xiu thinks that the two sika deer in the dream are the mountain god''s dream, so he let Xi Yu set up a temple in suling mountain and set up two stone deer on the road in front of the temple. Since then, the people called the ancestral temple lumen temple, and suling mountain has gradually become lumen mountain.


    Liu Xiu didn''t think that Xi Yu had the same dream. Maybe he wanted to please Liu Xiu, so he said that he had the same dream.


    No matter what the real situation is, the lush lumen mountain in front of Liu Xiu''s eyes is full of green, and the bamboo forest is swaying on the mountain, so the scenery is pleasant.Pang Degong stood on the official road leading to the mountain and said in a deep voice: "as soon as you enter lumen mountain, you will leave Jingzhou for the time being. Are you ready, Hugh? "


    Liu Xiu replied, "teacher, the disciples are already ready."


    In Liu Xiu''s view, studying art in lumen mountain will be a starting point of his life. Temporary dormancy means a temporary new beginning.


    "Come on, follow me up the mountain," he waved


    Liu Xiu nodded and followed pound up the mountain.


    Pound lived on the hillside, because there was just a wide and flat place on the hillside. Moreover, bamboo forests are all over the hillside, and the scenery is pleasant.


    After walking for nearly half an hour, they came to the residence.


    Pound''s residence is not like an academy. There is only a courtyard with three entrances. This courtyard is not only the place where he teaches, but also his residence.


    When you enter the yard, the attendant comes up to meet you.


    Pang Degong first arranged Liu Xiu''s residence, then took Liu Xiu to the backyard to meet his wife and children, and introduced Liu Xiu ceremoniously. Then he took Liu Xiu out of the backyard and went to other places to introduce Liu Xiu one by one.


    In half a day, Liu Xiu was basically familiar with the situation of his family.


    The next day, early in the morning!


    Liu Xiu got up early and did morning exercises. After eating early, a servant said that Lord pound was invited.


    Under the guidance of the attendant, Liu Xiu came to pound''s study.


    Pang Degong waved to Liu Xiu to take his seat and said in a deep voice, "one day I''m a teacher and all my life I''ll be a father. If I accept you as my disciple, I''ll treat you as my son. Next time, I will teach you what I have learned in my life. In learning, you can find me when you encounter problems; in life, if you encounter problems, you can find your mistress. "


    Liu xiudao: "I understand. Thank you very much."


    Liu Xiu''s warm heart, Pound''s care, let him feel a long lost family.


    Like a teacher, like a father!


    This is Liu Xiu''s idea at the moment.


    Immediately, pound said something else.


    "Dong! Dong


    Suddenly, a knock on the door rang out of the room.


    Pang Fu, the housekeeper of the family, said, "master, the tenants at the foot of the mountain gather together and clamor to see the master."


    "Come with me and have a look!" he waved


    Liu Xiu nodded, got up and followed pound out of the study. Looking at Pang Fu, Pang De Gong asked, "how many people have come and what is the reason for that?"


    Pang Fu replied: "dozens of families at the foot of the mountain have come. The reason why they come to the mountain is because of the lack of water. All the farmers are in the mountains. "


    Mr. pound nodded slightly, thought a little, and said, "I''ll see them. You can arrange for people to prepare tea and bring it to the assembled villagers."


    "Yes


    Pang Fu responded and hurried to make arrangements.


    Pang Degong looked at Liu Xiu and said, "wait a minute, see more and listen more. Do you understand?"


    "I understand!"


    Liu Xiu nodded. He knew that this was the way to teach him to do things.

 Chapter 20

    When Pang Degong took Liu Xiu out of the house, he saw a group of farmers in short clothes and shabby clothes gathered together.


    The faces of these people were all anxious.


    Seeing him coming out, his eyes fell on him. A group of people surrounded Mr. pound and talked in a noisy way, just like a vegetable market.


    "Be quiet!"


    Mr. pound, with a serious face, cried in a deep voice.


    In an instant, dozens of farmers, all quiet down.


    One by one, they looked at pound with longing and worry.


    The face full of frost is tight, the hand full of cocoons is clenched, showing the eagerness in the heart.


    Pound''s eyes swept over everyone. His eyes were sharp and his tone was serious. He said, "everyone of you talks. Your voice is too noisy and there are too many questions. I can''t answer them all by myself. I''ll give you a quarter of an hour, and you''ll recommend a man to come out and let him talk to me. "


    After hearing this, the farmers thought it was reasonable and began to discuss it immediately.


    Liu Xiu admired Pound''s treatment in his eyes.


    If Mr. pound came up and asked one by one, the whole scene would be out of control and the problem would not be solved. Pang Degong took the lead and suppressed the opinions of the farmers. Only by letting the farmers elect a representative can the communication be smooth.


    After a short time, the farmers recommended one person.


    "Pang Gong, my name is Qitan. I''m a farmer at the foot of the mountain. Let me talk about it."


    Qitan is a farmer, but he is chivalrous and fair. Especially when the villagers near lumen mountain have a headache, Qitan is eager to help. He has a high prestige among the farmers.


    Pound is just: "sit down and say."


    When everyone sat down, Mr. pound asked, "tell me, what are the difficulties?"


    Looking worried, Qi Tan replied, "the main difficulty is still water shortage. After the beginning of spring this year, there was less rain. It has been June now, and there is not much rain. Although lumen mountain is close to the Hanjiang River, it is a long way and troublesome to divert water from the Hanjiang River to the farmland at the foot of the mountain. Now it''s June, and the rice fields need water, but it''s short of water. In the long run, this year''s harvest may be greatly reduced. The villagers came to Pang Gong together to ask him to find a way to solve the current predicament. "


    Pound frowned a little. He couldn''t think of a solution for a moment when it came to the harvest of the farmland.


    This is not a simple matter.


    Qi Tan added: "if we can''t solve the problem of water shortage, the problem will be serious. All the villagers around lumen mountain depend on the weather for food. If the weather is not beautiful, they will be hungry. "


    After pondering for a long time, Mr. pound said, "let me handle this matter."


    Qi Tan asked, "what is Pang Gong going to do?"


    It''s not that Qi Tan doesn''t believe in pound, it''s because he has to be careful about whether he has enough to eat.


    Pound said, "I have three plans for this."


    "First, I promise that if it''s time for the harvest envoys, the rice yield in the field will be greatly reduced, but I won''t be hungry. I promise to reduce the rent of the villagers, so that the villagers can survive smoothly."


    "Second, if the natural disaster is serious, the grain collected in the field is seriously insufficient. I will open a warehouse to release grain and give the villagers a certain amount of grain so that they can spend the disaster year. "


    "Third, the current drought is caused by lack of water. I will send people to get water to alleviate the current drought."


    Pound looked calm and said three guarantees directly.


    As soon as the words came out, the farmers, led by Qi Tan, cheered and looked excited.


    They are Pang''s tenants, farming Pang''s fields.


    Pound promised to reduce rent and even open warehouse to release grain in case of drought, which means that even if there is a severe drought, they will be able to survive the disaster year. The most important thing is that the Pontifical association has made every effort to solve the problem of difficult water intake, which is the most important.


    They all gave thanks one after another.


    At this time, the family''s attendants came out with tea to let the farmers drink tea to quench their thirst.


    With a smile, Pang Degong pointed to Liu Xiu and said, "fellow villagers, this is Liu Xiu, my disciple. He is good at water conservancy. This time, he will try his best to solve the problem of water shortage. Please rest assured that the drought will pass. This year''s harvest in the field will not be affected. "


    The corner of Liu Xiu''s mouth twitches, how to suddenly pull to his body.


    However, Qi Tan and other farmers looked at Liu Xiu and quickly said thanks, and they all recognized Liu Xiu.


    This scene made Liu Xiu''s mind even worse.


    Just now, he was still admiring the way in which pound dealt with it. But he didn''t expect that in a twinkling of an eye, pound pushed the matter to him and pushed him into the pit of fire.


    In the face of farmers'' gratitude, Liu Xiu had to smile.


    At this time, we can''t dismantle the stage of Lord pound.


    After Qitan and other farmers left, Liu Xiucai said anxiously: "teacher, I don''t know how to use water conservancy. Is it too difficult for me to solve the problem of drought? Moreover, the drought has already occurred, and it is difficult to solve the problem of water in a short time. "It''s too sudden to get water.


    Pound just color way: "let you do, there are two considerations."


    Liu Xiu asked, "which two considerations?"


    Pound replied, "first of all, this is your first test when you go to lumen mountain. In other words, it''s the first test after you get started. Second, you will encounter all kinds of problems in the future, which will be more difficult and hasty. But, are you not sure, you will not do it? It''s something that someone has to do. "


    Liu Xiu was shocked when he heard the speech.


    Pound''s words are reasonable. If you encounter difficulties that cannot be solved in the future, will you ignore them?


    No way!


    Liu Xiuse said: "the teacher''s instruction is remembered by the disciples."


    With a smile, pound said, "in my study, there are books on water conservancy. During this period, you can read it by yourself and find out the solution as soon as possible. We need to use personnel. We need to transfer them directly from your family. I believe that the farmers at the foot of the mountain are willing to help you. "


    Liu xiudao: "I understand!" After a pause, Liu xiudao said, "it''s not too late. I''ll check the information first, and then think about the solution."


    At this time, Liu Xiu''s mind is full of solving the problem of drought.


    This is the first test after his entry, which must be completed gracefully.


    "Go," he waved


    Liu Xiu was also very anxious and went to pound''s study in a hurry.


    Pound''s face was dignified. He told Pang Fu to clean up the tea and went down the mountain alone. He didn''t think of a solution to the problem of drought and water shortage in the farmland for a moment. He had to go to Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan for a solution and let them participate in it.

 Chapter 21

    Huang Chengyan''s home is near lumen mountain.


    When Pang Degong got down from lumen mountain, he went straight to Huang Chengyan''s home. It happened that Sima Hui was also there.


    Front yard, lobby!


    Sima Hui saw Pang Degong, with a smile on his face, and said, "Duke de has accepted his proud disciples. Now he has disciples, and he has forgotten his friends. The mind of Duke De is on Liu Xiu. "


    Pang Degong lifted his robe and sat down, humming: "is it the envy of virtue?"


    Sima Hui said, "I''d rather be idle than waste my time teaching my disciples."


    Huang Chengyan''s face was dignified, not like Sima Hui''s smile. He said in a deep voice, "you know the intention of Liu Biao, but you are determined to accept him. Besides, taking Liu Xiu as a disciple will involve you in right and wrong. Why bother? "


    Pang said, "I think Liu Xiu is a teachable talent."


    Sima Hui sighed and said, "I''m afraid it''s Liu Xiu''s analysis in Lianxiang building that makes you feel compassion."


    "Pound said with a smile:" it is, it is not


    After a pause, pound said justly, "if you don''t talk about it, the disciples have accepted it. There is no possibility of regret any more. You must do your best to teach. I''ve come to you for one thing. Please give me your advice. "


    "What''s the matter?" Sima Hui asked


    Pound is fair: "it''s about drought."


    Immediately, Pang Degong told the situation of farmers in Qitan and the foot of lumen mountain.


    Then, pound said, "water shortage is a big problem and must be solved."


    Sima Hui couldn''t help laughing and said, "Lord pound, I can''t think of a solution. It''s really cunning to call it testing Liu Xiu."


    Pound said: "if Liu Xiu can solve the problem of getting water, doesn''t it prove that my vision is accurate?"


    Sima Hui said: "no matter what, you are right."


    Huang Chengyan said: "natural and man-made disasters can be eliminated, but natural disasters are not so easy to solve. There is a shortage of water near the lumen mountain, so it is not easy to get water from the Han River. "


    Pound just color way: "no matter how, must think of a way."


    "Dad, I made a rollover. This rollover is definitely better than Bi Lan''s rollover. "


    At this time, a soft and pleasant voice came from outside the lobby.


    A beautiful figure, fast coming.


    In her twenties and eighties, she was slender, dressed in a long white dress, and her long black hair was flowing down her shoulders like a waterfall. Her skin color is not white, but her eyes are bright and flexible. With her slender eyelashes, they quiver like butterfly feathers, which is more unique.


    "Yueying, don''t you see Uncle Pang and uncle Sima? What''s your daughter doing with a rollover? It''s better to learn more about female workers. "


    Huang Chengyan''s face was black, but there was a trace of doting in his eyes.


    The girl is Huang Yueying, Huang Chengyan''s only daughter.


    The rollover car made by Huang Yueying was made by Bi LAN, the eunuch in the palace.


    The so-called rollover, in later generations is the keel waterwheel. But the dumper made at this time is similar to the keel water tanker, not exactly the same, because the dumper made by Bi LAN is not used for agricultural irrigation, but only for watering.


    Huang Yueying loves the technique of mechanism. After finding the information of rollover, she began to imitate it.


    After the success, she immediately came to Huang Chengyan to share her joy.


    Huang Yueying smiles and salutes Pang Degong and Sima Hui, saying: "Uncle Pang and uncle Sima, would you like to see my car overturn. The rollover I made is better than Bilan''s


    Huang Chengyan waved his hand and said, "Yueying, don''t make a fuss. It''s a time of drought and there is a shortage of water in the fields. Uncle Pang and we are thinking about solving the problem of water shortage in the fields."


    Huang Yueying eyes a bright, bright eyes, flashing a brilliant light, said: "I made a rollover, can solve the problem of water."


    Pound said: "really? Let''s go and have a look."


    Sima Hui''s eyes showed a trace of joy. He was happy for pound, at least he had a solution.


    Huang Chengyan was proud and asked, "Yueying, are you sure you didn''t lie?"


    Sima Hui said contemptuously, "Chengyan, don''t show off. We all know you have a capable daughter. Niece Yueying, don''t listen to your father. Lead the way ahead. "


    "Good!"


    Huang Yueying was happy and turned to walk out.


    Huang Chengyan said hello to Sima Hui several times, then left with Pang Degong and Sima Hui. When they came to the backyard, they saw a car overturning across the pool and the ground.


    The pool, the water, the ground, the mess.


    Huang Chengyan see this situation, crazy way: "Yueying, who let you use the pool operation?"


    Huang Yueying Du mouth, wronged way: "Dad does not let her daughter go out, only with the pool to do the experiment."


    "You, you..."


    Huang Chengyan is so angry that his hair is blocked that he can''t help taking his daughter.Looking at the rollover, Pang Degong brightened his eyes and said happily, "Chengyan, don''t care about the little details of Yueying. Yueying, come and have a try. What''s the situation like? "


    Huang Yueying made a sound and immediately went to the rollover and stepped on the pedal.


    As the chain turns over, the rollover starts to creak. The scraper mounted on the wooden chain rotates slowly to take up the water from the pool and scatter it on the ground.


    "Good, good, wonderful!"


    Sima Hui''s eyes were full of admiration.


    After a while, Huang Yueying came down and asked, "Uncle Pang, is it useful?"


    After pondering for a while, Mr. pound said, "it''s certainly useful, but it''s too little and too slow to turn over the car to get water, and it needs a lot of manpower and material resources. It is too difficult to alleviate the drought in farmland in a short time. "


    Huang Yueying bright eyes, flashing the light of wisdom, said: "I''ll think of a way to improve the water."


    Pound is fair: "so, I thank Yueying for the people of lumen mountain."


    Huang Yueying said: "Uncle Pang doesn''t have to be like this. It''s right." After a pause, Huang Yueying said, "Dad, I made a car overturn, which is a great contribution to the country. Now, you won''t object? "


    In a word, Huang Chengyan is half dead.


    Huang Chengyan sighed: "I''ve been against it. Have you heard it?"


    Huang Yueying smiles and leaves to redesign.


    When Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui returned to the living room, the topic gradually shifted from drought to casual chat.


    Sima Hui suddenly said, "Chengyan, I once asked Liu Xiu to marry Yueying. Although Liu Xiu''s family background is not good, he is good in terms of ability and character. "


    Huang Chengyan shook his head and said, "look at it again. You can''t make a decision easily."


    Pang said, "I agree with Cheng Yan. Although I''m Xiuer''s teacher, I''m Yueying''s uncle. I hope my niece can be happy. Xiuer''s ability is outstanding and his manner is fair. But after all, the time we spend together is still short. We must observe it first. It''s not urgent. "


    Huang Chengyan said with a smile: "those who know me are virtuous."

 Chapter 22

    For several days in a row, Liu Xiu was immersed in the sea of books, constantly reading the information about water conservancy in the books. In Liu Xiu''s mind, his thoughts were always in a mess, and he didn''t sort them out clearly.


    After reading all the materials, Liu Xiujing sat down and combed his confused thoughts.


    If you just do it at random, the effect will not be obvious.


    There must be a certain plan, otherwise a complete plan cannot be formed.


    Liu Xiu thought and compared the ideas mentioned in the book.


    "Digging wells can solve the problem of farmland in a short time. But the biggest problem is that there are too many farmland to guarantee that all the farmland will solve the problem of drought. Moreover, in the case of dry weather, even if a well is dug near the farmland, the water from the well may not be guaranteed. Moreover, digging wells requires a lot of manpower and material resources, time-consuming and labor-consuming, and the effect is negligible. "


    The effect of "digging canals" is obvious. But if you want to dig a canal, it will definitely consume a lot of manpower. It will not be completed overnight, and it is not feasible. "


    In his mind, Liu Xiu kept thinking about solutions.


    One by one, they tried to figure it out and were denied.


    Such a process is the most painful, but Liu Xiu has to bear it, which is what he has to do.


    "How can we save material resources and manpower in the shortest time? How to do it is the best plan. "


    Liu Xiu thought, trying to make his ideas closer to this.


    "Yes, it is in the data."


    All of a sudden, Liu Xiu thought of a possibility.


    He quickly stood up, ran to pound''s study, entered the study, and quickly searched.


    "Where is it?"


    "I remember it was clearly recorded on the bamboo slips."


    "To solve the current crisis, we have to take water from the Han River and irrigate the farmland."


    "Turning over the car for irrigation is the best way."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes glittered, constantly searching.


    "Find it. Find it."


    "This is the first test arranged by the teacher and must be completed perfectly."


    Liu Xiu''s spirit is even more excited.


    Rolls of bamboo slips were put aside. Liu Xiu looked for them little by little, and he was looking forward to them.


    "This is the volume. I found it. I finally found it!"


    Liu Xiu found a roll of bamboo slips from the bamboo slips and quickly spread it out on the desk. He looked at the introduction on the bamboo slips, as well as the figures outlined on the bamboo slips, and his face showed the color of ecstasy.


    He calmed down and studied the structure of the rollover.


    Liu Xiu also has a certain understanding of the rollover. In a previous life, after Ma Jun''s improvement, the irrigating appliance of car dumps began to be used by a large margin, benefiting countless people.


    Reading through, the ecstatic color on Liu Xiu''s face disappeared, and his face gradually became dignified.


    "The rollover looks good, but at present, the irrigation of the rollover is still not enough, and it is not convenient. If we want to solve the dilemma of lumen mountain, we must think again. "


    "But if the rollover can be changed properly, maybe it can."


    "Yes, why don''t I change it?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were bright and bright.


    At the beginning, he thought about how to solve the drought, which was always limited to digging ditches, or digging wells to get water, and so on. His thinking direction was direct operation, without considering the use of irrigation tools.


    As a matter of fact, digging wells to get water and so on are not feasible at all.


    Otherwise, the villagers in the vicinity of lumen mountain would have started to operate for a long time.


    Liu Xiu is different from everyone. He has two generations of skills in his mind.


    In the first generation, Liu Xiu lived in the world of information explosion. He had a lot of information, a wide range of knowledge, and knew a lot of things, but he was not proficient in them, only a little involved. Second, when Liu Xiu was frustrated in his official career, he had to disguise himself, so he took all his energy away from officialdom. So much so that he was quite proficient in both fencing and other aspects.


    There are countless predecessors'' wisdom in his mind, but Liu Xiu ignored it and completely deviated from the direction.


    Liu Xiu sorted out the bamboo slips scattered on the ground and returned to his room with the bamboo slips recording the rollover. He began to think about which one was the most practical after the rollover was gradually improved.


    Soon, Liu Xiu found the most common irrigation water truck in his memory.


    Bobbin car!


    Bobbin car is similar to rollover, but it is more practical than rollover.


    The principle of the bobbin car is to put the bobbin frame in the turbulent River, use the turbulent water as the power to make the wheel rotate, and then make the water cylinder installed on the wheel automatically scoop water, so that the water in the river can be lifted to the bank for irrigation. The power of the bobbin car is not as strong as the rollover, but it is better to use the continuous stream of rivers as the power, which can rotate infinitely.


    In order to meet the needs of farmland near lumen mountain, the bobbin car is enough.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were shining with the essence of Taoism.According to the thought in his mind, he quickly sketched the model of the bobbin car on the paper, and then began to draw. While drawing, Liu Xiu made notes in the lower right corner of the drawing to make clear the effect of each part.


    Liu Xiu''s drawing skills were good. In less than two hours, he drew all the models of the bobbin car.


    After all this, Liu Xiu stretched out and had a smile on his face.


    It''s great to finish!


    Liu Xiu put away the drawings on the desk, put away the overturned bamboo slips, went out of the room and went straight to Pang Degong.


    In the study, they sat down.


    He looked calm and asked, "what''s the matter? Do you have an idea?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "I have some immature ideas. Please give me some advice."


    "Tell me!" Said pound, waving his hand.


    Liu Xiu took out his drawing and handed it to Pang Degong. He said in a deep voice, "teacher, this is the silo designed by my disciple. The principle of the bobbin car is to use the impact of the current, and then take water from the river. The most important thing is that the bobbin car can slow down the manpower and material resources, consume less resources, but continuously irrigate


    After listening, Pound''s eyes twinkled and examined the figure carefully.


    The more you look at it, the more startled pound is.


    Not long ago, Mr. pound saw the rollover car made by Huang Yueying. Now when we look at the production of the bobbin car, we can see the most intuitive concept by comparing the two.


    This design is classic and far better than rollover.


    After reading it carefully, pound was shocked beyond words.


    In my heart, there is a kind of happiness.


    I''m glad I took Liu Xiu as an apprentice!


    Pang Degong took the drawing in his hand and immediately wanted to go down the mountain to find Huang Yueying.


    Suddenly, pound turned his mind and said, "Xiuer, if the structure on the drawing can be achieved, the crisis of water shortage in the farmland around lumen mountain can be easily solved. You have done a very good job."


    Liu xiudao: "all teachers are good at teaching and guiding!"


    Pound said with a smile, "I''m just asking you to think of a way. What''s the point? Well, don''t be modest. You take the drawing and go down the mountain to Huang Chengyan''s house to find Huang Yueying. She''s very good at mechanism and can help you


    "Yes


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu turned around and quit.


    Shortly after Liu Xiu left his study, Pang Fu came to Pang Degong''s study and reported: "Sir, there are some unknown people coming down the mountain recently."


    "What''s the source of the other side?" said pound


    Pang Fu said: "it''s the Cai family. They keep inquiring about what master Xiu is doing. The rest are not found. "


    Pound''s eyes narrowed slightly, thinking carefully.


    After a long time, pound said justly: "you send someone to deliver the message, that Xiuer has found a way to alleviate the drought. At present, this plan is in progress. "


    "No!"


    Pang Fu was ordered to turn around and withdraw.

 Chapter 23

    Liu Xiu went down to lumen mountain and went straight to Huang''s residence.


    The road at the foot of the mountain is not difficult to walk. Liu Xiu asked about the road and soon came to the gate of the Huang family. After Liu Xiu reported his name, he came to the hall to wait under the guidance of his attendants.


    Soon, Huang Chengyan came to the hall.


    After Huang Chengyan took his seat, he said, "young master Xiu has come down the mountain. What can I do for you?" For Liu Xiu, Huang Chengyan is very appreciative in his heart, but he also has the eyes of examining his son-in-law.


    Liu Xiu thinks Huang Chengyan''s eyes are strange and different from usual.


    But I don''t understand.


    Liu Xiu put down his doubts and said straight to the point: "the teacher asked me to solve the problem of water shortage in the farmland around the lumen mountain. The boy redesigned a water collection tube car. After reading it, the teacher thought it was feasible and asked me to find Yueying girl to make it."


    "Show me!"


    Huang Chengyan''s tone was slightly different from that just now.


    In my heart, I have a lot to say about pound.


    This is clearly an opportunity for Liu Xiu to contact Huang Yueying. It''s his daughter''s idea.


    Liu Xiu took out the drawing of the bobbin car and handed it to Huang Chengyan.


    Huang Chengyan spread the drawings on the desk and read them carefully. The more he looked down, the more shocked he was, and the more appreciative he was.


    A quarter of an hour later, Huang Chengyan asked, "did you complete the structure of the bobbin car by yourself?"


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    Huang Chengyan wanted to prevent Liu Xiu from seeing Huang Yueying, but when he saw the drawing, he said, "come on!"


    A valet came in and stood respectfully.


    Huang Chengyan said, "Mr. Xiu, I''ll let the servant take you to see Yueying."


    "Thank you, sir!"


    Liu xiudao thanks, then follows the attendant to go back to the courtyard together.


    In Liu Xiu''s heart, there is also a trace of expectation. Huang Yueying is good at mechanism. As long as Huang Yueying makes the bobbin car, the drought near lumen mountain can be alleviated or even completely solved.


    Soon, Liu Xiu came to the backyard.


    In the yard, Huang Yueying is making a new type of car dumper.


    Last time pound commented on the shortcomings of rollover, Huang Yueying began to improve and wanted to make a more useful rollover.


    After pondering for a few days, I got a clue.


    Hearing the footsteps coming from the gate of the yard, Huang Yueying looked up, lowered her head and continued to work.


    Seeing this, the attendant said, "Mr. Xiu, miss is busy. If I disturb her now, I''m sure I''ll be kicked out. You wait for the moment. When the young lady is finished, you can explain to her. The little one has something to do. Let''s go first. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and went straight to Huang Yueying.


    Standing aside, Liu Xiu didn''t speak, just watched quietly.


    A quarter of an hour later, Huang Yueying is still immersed in the production of rollover, and has no intention of looking up to take care of Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu asked, "Miss Yueying..."


    Just opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Huang Yueying: "don''t disturb me, wait for me if you have something."


    Liu Xiu frowned and said, "Miss Yueying..."


    With a bang, Huang Yueying put down a piece of wood in her hand, raised her head and stared at Liu Xiu. Her eyes were burning with anger. She said angrily, "don''t you see I''m busy? Don''t bother me, Dad


    That serious appearance, although the eyes with anger, but it is not amorous feelings.


    Liu Xiu''s face looked as usual and said directly: "Miss Yueying misunderstood. What I want to say is that your car overturned wrong!"


    "Ah, what''s wrong?"


    Huang Yueying is confused and only interested in the rollover designed by herself.


    When he heard that there was something wrong with his car dumper, he threw away Liu Xiu''s idea. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Liu Xiu. Her clear eyes were full of thirst and thirst for knowledge.


    Liu Xiu squatted down, pointed to the rollover and said: "compared with the rollover designed by Bi LAN, the scraper designed by you is larger, and the water intake will be increased. However, you have ignored a problem. Simply increasing the scraper will increase the power required. Moreover, when the scraper increases, the overall rollover will increase and the flexibility will decrease. "


    "Oh, how to solve it?"


    Huang Yueying squatted on the ground, holding her chin with her hands, blinking her eyes and thinking carefully.


    Liu Xiu''s attentive expression made him move in his heart.


    This woman looks ordinary, not the type of love, nor the type of small jasper. However, every word she utters reveals a kind of concentration and a kind of spirituality.


    Suddenly, Huang Yueying asked, "Hey, why don''t you talk? Now that you know about rollover, talk about the solution. "


    Liu xiudao: "I don''t call Hello!"


    Huang Yueying said hastily, "it doesn''t matter what your name is. I just want to know the solution."


    Liu Xiu''s mouth twitched slightly, and he didn''t know how to deal with it.


    In Huang Yueying''s eyes, he is not as important as rollover.Huang Yueying urged: "speak quickly!"


    Liu Xiu chuckled, restrained his mood and continued: "I''m not called hello. You can call me Liu Xiu. The improvement of rollover can not be solved by partial modification. So, I redesigned an irrigation tool, you see. "


    With these words, Liu Xiu handed the drawing of the bobbin car to Huang Yueying.


    "Really? Let me see! "


    Huang Yueying took over the drawing and carefully analyzed the structure of the bobbin car.


    "This, this, this is great." Huang Yueying looked at Liu Xiu with a look of admiration in her eyes. She asked, "how do you think of it? This design is so good. The structure is not complicated, and it doesn''t need much manpower and material resources."


    Liu Xiu replied, "I thought of it by chance."


    Huang Yueying said sincerely: "you are really powerful. Alas, why didn''t I think of it?"


    Liu Xiu continued: "Miss Yueying, this is my irrigation tool to solve the water shortage of the farmland around lumen mountain. Time is very tight. How long can the bobbin car be made? "


    "It''s the same thing to call a bobbin car. If you help yourself, you should be able to finish it in three to five days, or even earlier. "


    Huang Yueying calculated and gave the approximate time.


    Liu Xiu replied, "I''ll stay and help, and strive to make the bobbin car as soon as possible."


    Suddenly, Huang Yueying said, "Oh, I forgot to say that this is the place where the women live. If you stay here for a long time, I''m afraid your father will break his mouth again. I''m afraid he won''t agree. "


    Liu Xiu said with a little smile: "Miss Yueying, don''t worry. Mr. Chengyan won''t blame you. Before I came to Yueying with the drawing of the bobbin car, I had already met with my husband. He asked me to come to you. "


    "I see!"


    Huang Yueying nodded. Suddenly she looked surprised and asked, "Liu Xiu, it seems that he is a disciple of Uncle Pang?"


    Liu Xiu touched his nose and sighed.


    How slow is the girl''s reaction? It''s only now that I think about it. What a hindsight.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "I am the teacher''s disciple!"


    Huang Yueying was even more happy and said, "it''s you, so it doesn''t matter if you stay at home. It shouldn''t be too late. Let''s get ready now. You follow me to the carpentry and get the materials ready first


    Liu Xiu nodded and followed Huang Yueying to the carpentry. Walking behind, Liu Xiu looks at the slender figure and smiles. This is Huang Yueying, a girl who is immersed in her own world.

 Chapter 24

    Prefecture, backyard.


    Cai Shi and Cai Mao are sitting opposite each other.


    Cai Mao''s eyes showed a trace of joy and said, "sister, I just got a piece of good news about Liu Xiu."


    Cai came to the spirit and asked, "what did Liu Xiu do?"


    Cai Mao replied: "since the beginning of spring this year, the drought has begun. Up to now, there has been a great deal of water shortage in farmland in Jingzhou, as well as in the vicinity of lumen mountain. The person I sent to inquire about reported that Liu Xiu boasted that he had found a solution to the problem of water shortage, which is currently in progress. "


    Cai Shi glared at Cai Mao and said, "it''s Liu Xiu who is in the limelight again. What a good thing."


    Cai Mao replied, "my sister is wrong. Does she really think Liu Xiu can do it?"


    Cai said, "it''s hard to say."


    Cai Mao said with a smile: "the difficulties brought by drought are not so easy to solve. The Lord summoned officials of different sizes in Jingzhou to discuss this matter for countless times, but it is still in the air. "


    "Even if one or two schemes were slightly feasible, but the operability was not high, they were eventually rejected."


    Cai Mao looked confident and said, "in my opinion, Liu Xiu can''t think of any good way. At the end of the day, Liu Xiu is bound to fail, unable to solve the problem of water shortage in Jingzhou. "


    His eyes narrowed and he asked, "what do you mean?"


    Cai Mao''s implication has been understood by Cai Shi.


    Obviously, Cai Mao wanted to make trouble and deal with Liu Xiu.


    "The news that Liu Xiu wanted to solve the water source problem has not spread for the time being," Cai Mao said


    "I have two ideas about this."


    "First, I asked people to spread the news that Liu Xiu had a way to solve the drought in Jingzhou. Once this matter is known to all, there will be countless people looking for Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu will be pushed to the top of the storm with such a big momentum. "


    "Second, please tell me about it. My sister is Liu Xiu''s mother. It''s normal to care about Liu Xiu. As long as the Lord knows that Liu Xiu has the ability to solve the problem of drought, he will certainly pay close attention to it. In the end, he found that Liu Xiu''s plan could not be completed. What would Liu Xiu''s situation be like


    Cai Mao affirmed: "countless people will wait and see, and expect the drought in Jingzhou to be solved. However, Liu Xiu failed in the end. At that time, people in Jingzhou will hate Liu Xiu, and everyone will fight, so Liu Xiu will have no place to live. More importantly, after losing face, my Lord will definitely hate Liu Xiu. At that time, Liu Xiu will really fall into the dust. "


    The whole plan is very simple.


    After hearing this, Cai said, "your plan is good, but you haven''t considered a problem."


    "What''s the problem?" Cai Mao asked.


    Cai''s eyes narrowed slightly and said, "what you are thinking about is the best result. Once the worst result appears, what should you do? If Liu Xiu solves the problem of water shortage, Liu Xiu''s reputation will rise to a higher level. At that time, it was more difficult to deal with Liu Xiu. "


    Cai Mao said with a light smile: "I have naturally considered this issue."


    "First of all, Liu Xiu is a common son. With the character of the Lord who wants face, it is impossible for him to pass on the status of Jingzhou shepherd to Liu Xiu. Therefore, no matter how high Liu Xiu''s reputation is, it has no influence on Cong''er. What is really worrying is the relationship between Liu Xiu and Liu Qi. "


    "Second, Liu Xiu cut off contact with Liu Qi in lumen mountain. Moreover, Liu Xiu is far away from the prefecture, so it is impossible to get involved in the fight between Cong''er and Liu Qi. Therefore, Liu Xiu''s high reputation does not affect him. "


    "Third, my Lord went to see Liu Xiu, which was proposed by my sister. If he failed, it was Liu Xiu''s responsibility. If it succeeds, it will prove that my sister is really concerned about Liu Xiu when she is a mother. The Lord certainly has more trust in his sister, which is also conducive to Cong''er''s future development. "


    Cai Mao seemed very confident and said: "once Liu Xiu fails, he will fall into the dust completely and have no chance to turn over. Even if Liu Xiu succeeds, he will only raise his reputation, but his influence is not great. In any case, you can make a bet. "


    After a pause, Cai Mao affirmed: "most importantly, I''m sure Liu Xiu can''t solve the problem of water shortage."


    Cai said: "you are so determined!"


    Cai Mao solemnly said: "there are so many talented people in Jingzhou, no one has come up with a solution to the problem. Do you think a boy under twenty can come up with a solution? "


    Cai''s face rarely showed approval and approved Cai Mao''s decision.


    Cai Mao said: "elder sister will inform the Lord of this matter as soon as possible. I will arrange it now and pass it on."


    "Well!"


    Cai got up to send Cai Mao away, and then went back to his bedroom.


    At night, Cai inquired about her maid and learned that Liu Biao was still dealing with government affairs. She went to the kitchen and prepared a bowl of Chicken Soup for Liu Biao. After giving it to Liu Biao, Cai went back to the bedroom to have a rest.


    Liu Biao finished his official business and went straight to Cai''s house.


    Before that, Liu Biao had been taking care of his health, and had hardly been intimate with CAI. This evening, however, he could not restrain the desire and hope in his heart. Especially after seeing Cai, Liu Biao felt that he was full of energy.In a hurry, Liu Biao took off Cai''s clothes and mounted his horse with a gun. He quickly pressed Cai''s body.


    There was a faint gasp in the room.


    For a moment, the gasping stopped.


    Liu Biao''s face was comfortable, but he was a little tired.


    Cai leaned close to Liu Biao with a calm expression. After a while, he suddenly said, "husband, I have heard from my servant that xiugongzi has done a good job in lumen mountain. When you grow up, you don''t have to worry about him. "


    Liu Biao showed a smile on his face and said, "it''s rare that you care so much about Xiuer. It''s hard for you."


    "They are the children of my husband and my concubine," Cai said


    "Ha ha ha, well said!"


    Liu Biao''s wrinkled face was full of laughter, and he couldn''t help laughing.


    Cai added: "because of the drought, the farmland around lumen mountain is short of water. After learning about the situation, Mr. Xiu said he thought of a solution to the drought and is now in action. Soon, you''ll see the results. "


    "Oh, really?"


    Liu Biao thought of the predicament of Jingzhou.


    If the water shortage in lumen mountain can be alleviated, so can the drought in Jingzhou.


    Chua chuckled and said: "I also heard that master Xiu patted his chest and promised to solve the drought. This matter has spread in Xiangyang. "


    Liu Biao looked thoughtful and said, "if it can be done, it''s a good thing."


    "Husband, why don''t you take time to have a look. As a father, my husband should be concerned about his studies. In this way, it''s normal to go to lumen mountain. "


    Liu Biao nodded and said, "you arrange the time, and then let me know."


    "I understand."


    Tsai''s mouth lit up a smile, and his eyes flashed a fierce color.


    This time, we must let Liu Xiu lose his reputation and never pose a threat to Liu Cong again.

 Chapter 25

    Pang family in lumen mountain, study.


    The housekeeper Pang Fujing stood up respectfully and reported: "Sir, in recent days, young master Feng Chuanxiu has found a solution to the drought in Jingzhou. Because of this, many people began to gather in the direction of lumen mountain to find out. "


    There was a trace of light in Pound''s eyes.


    No fire without wind!


    "Where did the news come from?" asked Lord pound


    Pang Fu said: "after verification, it was from Cai''s house at the beginning."


    "The Cai family?" Pang said: "last time, Cai Mao was aiming at Xiuer. Now, it''s adding fuel. Cai Mao did his best for Liu Cong. "


    Pang Fu asked, "master, do you want to clarify it?"


    Pang Degong chuckled and said, "why clarify? It''s a great thing that Cai Mao is behind. Don''t worry, let the news spread. "


    If Liu Xiu doesn''t design a bobbin car, pound is really worried.


    Now, with the design of the bobbin car coming out, Mr. pound is eager for Cai Mao to make more efforts to make Liu Xiuyang famous.


    Pang Fu nodded, still worried.


    Pound said: "pay close attention to the news at the foot of the mountain. I want to go down the mountain. The boy went to Huang''s house and stayed there for a few days. Up to now, he has no news. I don''t know how he is getting ready. "


    Out of the study, pound went down the mountain to the Huang family.


    Pang Degong is a frequent guest of the Huang family. His servants have known him for a long time. They don''t stop him at all. They go to inform Huang Chengyan directly.


    In the hall, Huang Chengyan said, "it''s rare for Duke De to visit Huang''s family."


    Mr. pound waved his hand and said, "I don''t have time to chat with you any more. It''s a bit complicated about making bobbins. This time, it is not only the relief of drought, but also the internal struggle of the prefecture


    Immediately, pound told Huang Chengyan about the Cai family and the rumors about Liu Xiu.


    After hearing this, Huang Chengyan''s face became dignified and said in a deep voice: "this matter involves the struggle between Liu Biao''s descendants, which is extraordinary. What are you going to do, Duke


    Mr. pound said, "when it comes to my disciples, are you waiting to die?"


    Huang Chengyan said, "is Duke de going to do it?"


    Pound nodded and said, "it''s almost time. It''s time to do it." After a pause, pound said fairly: "the key is still in Xiuer, and the bobbin car is the key. Let''s go and see how the bobbin is getting ready. "


    Huang Chengyan nodded and took pound to the back yard.


    In the yard, the bobbin car has been installed, the hardwood piles inserted in the watercourse are ready, and the water tank for transporting river water is all ready. Only the installation and adjustment are left.


    Huang Yueying finished all this with a bright smile on her pretty face.


    Standing next to Liu Xiushen and looking at the ready bobbin car, Huang Yueying was in a great mood and murmured, "Liu Xiu, this is your bobbin car. Is it a great achievement?"


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "this is the bobbin car that I designed and you made yourself. To be able to complete, it''s you who make a little bit of corrections that can complete it smoothly. So, it''s also your bobbin car. "


    In just three days, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying finished the production of the bobbin car, leaving only the frame on the river for adjustment.


    These three days, the two spent the rest of their time together except sleeping.


    Busy process is also a process of mutual understanding.


    Through a short time together, Liu Xiu understands that Huang Yueying seems to be in a daze, but in fact, it''s just that her mind is focused on the technique of mechanism, and she has no mind to deal with other things.


    This is a simple but clever girl.


    They were chatting about the bobbin car, and the joy on their faces was beyond words.


    Looking at Huang Yueying''s joyful gesture and a trace of pride on her pretty face, Liu Xiu suddenly reaches out his hand and grabs Huang Yueying''s hand.


    In a flash, Huang Yueying''s body was stiff, and her face was even more faint.


    A trace of emotion, in Huang Yueying heart breeding.


    A pair of eyes, is the eye wave ripples, the mind is not fixed.


    In fact, Huang Yueying''s understanding of Liu Xiu began with a chat with Huang Chengyan and others. Before meeting Liu Xiu, she knew Liu Xiu''s literary talent and his performance in Lianxiang building through Huang Chengyan and others.


    Because of the bobbin car, Huang Yueying''s understanding of Liu Xiu gradually deepened.


    In her eyes, Liu Xiu is steady, more talented, and especially proficient in mechanism skills, which makes Huang Yueying feel good.


    Liu Xiu''s hand in hand success was very happy in his heart. He quickly changed the topic and talked about the production of the bobbin car.


    Huang Yueying''s state changed immediately when he mentioned the bobbin car. The awkwardness of holding hands dissipated. The relationship between them is a step closer.


    "Cough! Cough


    Suddenly, a cough sounded at the gate of the yard.


    Huang Yueying responded. She broke away from Liu Xiu''s hand with her little brush, and hung a little blush on her face. She said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, look at the bamboo tube of the bobbin car. In fact, there is a little defect, which can be improved."Liu Xiu''s heart is funny. It''s stealing from others.


    Liu Xiu immediately agreed with Huang Yueying, as if he didn''t notice the person behind him.


    Huang Chengyan is murderous, and his eyes to Liu Xiu are even worse. He admires Liu Xiu, but suddenly finds that he leads the wolf into the house and makes Liu Xiu close to Huang Yueying. His mind is a little unbalanced.


    The indescribable mood made Huang Chengyan face and say nothing.


    Pound''s heart is funny. He asked Liu Xiu to find Huang Yueying to create opportunities for Liu Xiu. He didn''t expect that this boy really lived up to his expectations and won Huang Yueying''s heart.


    "Teacher, Mr. Chengyan!"


    Liu Xiu saw Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan and quickly saluted.


    Huang Chengyan is not angry way: "the person arrived, you just salute, too late."


    Liu Xiu could only bear the criticism and said, "Mr. Chengyan is right. I will pay attention next time."


    Huang Chengyan hums and stares at Huang Yueying, which makes Huang Yueying shift her eyes.


    Pang Degong changed the topic and asked, "Yueying, how about the production of bobbin car?"


    When it comes to the problem of the bobbin car, Huang Yueying put aside her shy mind, regained her calmness on her face, and replied, "Uncle Pang, the bobbin car is ready. You can take it to the riverside to have a try."


    Mr. pound nodded slightly and said, "there is a few percent chance of success in the experiment."


    Liu Xiu was confident in his eyes and replied: "at least 95% of the working procedures of the bobbin car have been carefully checked and processed by Yueying, and no mistakes can be made."


    Pound asked, "Yueying, what do you think?"


    Huang Yueying replied, "it won''t be too bad, at least 95 percent."


    Pound had the confidence and said, "since we are so confident, let''s make the scene bigger. Xiuer, wash up immediately, change into clean and decent clothes, and follow me to the prefecture


    Liu Xiu has not been able to get out of the gate these days. He doesn''t know what''s going on outside. After listening to pound''s words, he asked, "teacher, what happened?"


    Pound said in a deep voice, "I don''t have time to explain to you. I''ll make it clear to you on the way."


    "No!"


    Liu Xiu nodded, looked at Huang Yueying and left the yard.

 Chapter 26

    Wheel! Wheel!


    Xiangyang to go along the wide carriageway.


    On the way, Pang told Liu Xiu the whole process of the incident in detail, and then said, "you are far away from lumen mountain, Cai Mao and Liu Cong still don''t stop, so they can only fight back. This time, with the help of CAI Mao''s opportunity, you can show a little more ability in front of Liu Jingzhou and let the people of Jingzhou thank you. "


    Liu Xiu was grateful and said, "thank you, teacher!"


    Without the support of Mr. pound, it would be very difficult for Liu Xiu to expand his influence.


    All this is based on Pound''s public operation.


    Mr. pound said with a light smile: "what I do is based on your ability. If you don''t have enough ability, even if I try my best, it''s useless. "


    The two masters and disciples were talking about things, but they didn''t realize that time had passed and the carriage had entered the city.


    Finally, the carriage stopped outside the prefecture.


    Pound and Liu got out of the carriage and went directly into the house.


    Liu Biao came to the hall soon after the valet passed the news.


    After the ceremony, the host and guest took their seats.


    Liu''s face was ruddy and his eyes were full of vitality. He said with a smile, "Xiuer is studying in lumen mountain. It''s hard for panggong."


    Pound said: "Xiuer is quick and eager to learn, and he is full of savvy. It''s not hard to teach such a disciple. On the contrary, it''s a pleasure. Liu Jingzhou has a son like this, which is enviable. "


    When Liu Biao heard this, he felt as if his head had been ironed. He felt more comfortable and had more face.


    Suddenly, Liu Biao asked: "I heard that when Xiuer was studying in lumen mountain, he boasted that he had found a way to solve the drought in Jingzhou. Is this true? "


    Liu Xiu''s heart moved, and he understood that not only Cai Mao but also Cai Shi. He wanted to solve the news of Jingzhou drought. Cai Mao had a special identity and was not suitable to mention it to Liu Biao. It must have been Cai''s fan.


    Pound''s common heart was like a mirror, and he said with a smile, "this is true in seven and false in three."


    Liu Biao asked, "what''s the meaning of this?"


    Pound replied, "it''s true because Xiuer is dealing with the drought."


    "On the first day Xiuer followed me up the mountain, some farmers near lumen mountain came to see me and said that the farmland was short of water. I hope I can find a way to solve it."


    "Since the beginning of spring, the drought in Jingzhou has been lasting and almost difficult to solve."


    "I didn''t think of a solution. I thought of beating Xiuer, so that he wouldn''t raise his tail when Lianxiang building became famous, and let him think of a way to solve the drought of farmland near lumen mountain."


    "I didn''t expect that the story spread a little too far. It turned out that Xiuer wanted to solve the drought in Jingzhou."


    "However, Xiuer didn''t live up to his expectations, and he really did."


    With an excited look on his face, pound said: "Xiuer reads books and thinks day and night. Finally, inspired by the overturning of the car, he designs a kind of farm tool that can take water from the river to irrigate the farmland. The new farm tool is called the bobbin car, which can take water automatically. Jingzhou water system is developed, and the terrain is flat and open, so the bobbin car is just suitable. If popularized, it can really alleviate the drought in Jingzhou. "


    Liu Biao was overjoyed and said, "Pang Gong thinks that if it can be done, it will be done. It''s better to run into the sun when you choose. Let''s go. I''ll go to lumen mountain immediately. "


    With these words, Liu Biao will get up.


    "Liu Jingzhou, wait a minute!"


    Seeing this, Mr. pound immediately stopped him.


    Liu Biao was puzzled and asked, "is there anything else for Pang Gong?"


    Mr. pound replied, "the irrigation of bobbin cars is an extremely important event. Before I came here, I saw the day. Tomorrow is a lucky day. I plan to irrigate by the Hanjiang River at the foot of lumen mountain tomorrow morning. "


    After listening to Liu Biao, he said, "yes!"


    With a calm face, pound added: "although the production of the bobbin car has been completed, there are still some piecemeal things to deal with in the future. Xiuer and I won''t stay any longer. We have to go back to deal with it. "


    Liu said: "Xiu''er, it''s a blessing for you to study with Pang Gong. Whether you are a man or a scholar, you should not be ashamed to ask questions. Do you know? "


    Liu Xiu said respectfully, "son, I understand!"


    "Goodbye!"


    Pang Degong arched his hand and left with Liu Xiu.


    Liu Biao was sitting in the hall, thinking about going to see the scene of getting water in lumen mountain tomorrow, his heart was burning. Immediately, he ordered the civil and military officials of Jingzhou to gather at the prefectural animal husbandry government before dawn, and then go to lumen mountain together.


    The news spread quickly.


    When Cai got the news, he was nervous and immediately sent someone to invite Cai Mao to his house.


    In the room, the lights were flickering.


    Cai''s gloomy face, said: "De Li, listen to my husband, Liu Xiu really found a solution to the drought. Tomorrow morning, my husband will lead the civil and military officials. What do you think of this? "


    Cai Mao laughed, disdaining to say: "I am still convinced that Liu Xiu''s solution will not succeed. There are so many intelligent people in Jingzhou who have not come up with a solution. How can Liu Xiuyi think of a solution? "After hearing this, the tension on Cai''s face slowed down a little.


    After a moment''s silence, Cai said, "no matter what, we must make preparations."


    "What''s the plan, sister Cai


    Cai said: "first, you immediately send the dead to lumen mountain and destroy Liu Xiu''s silo car to get water, so that Liu Xiu can not demonstrate the process of getting water; second, if the action fails at night, you must deny Liu Xiu''s silo car tomorrow, so that Liu Xiu can not succeed."


    Cai Mao had a look of shock in his eyes. He didn''t expect CAI to be so bold.


    This arrangement is too bold.


    Cai Mao sighed and shook his head. "Sister, it''s impossible to send the dead."


    "Why?" Cai asked.


    Cai Mao explained: "both the Cai family and the Pang family are Jingzhou aristocratic families. The Pang family is low-key, but they are not easy to provoke. Moreover, Jingzhou drought, thousands of people affected. At this juncture, the Lord is in urgent need of a solution. Alleviating the drought is a major event in Jingzhou. Once the bobbin car is destroyed, the Lord will certainly pursue it to the end, and finally find out the head of the Cai family, but the gain is not worth the loss. "


    Cai''s eyes burned with anger and said, "after watching tomorrow, you must slander Liu Xiu''s bobbin car."


    Cai Mao also did not agree, way: "I will be flexible."


    Cai frowned and said, "is Liu Xiuyang allowed to be famous? De Li, this can''t be ignored. Once Liu Xiu rises, it will be a threat to Cong''er. "


    Cai Mao said: "sister, Liu Xiu is escorted by Pound''s public security. It''s not easy to deal with Liu Xiu. You see, today, Mr. pound brought Liu Xiu to see his Lord himself. It is clear that he is supporting Liu Xiu. "


    "You know, Liu Cong married a woman of the Cai family. Now, I will not allow anyone to pose a threat to Liu Cong''s status. Even if there is a slight sign, it must be controlled. "


    Cai Mao said in a deep voice, "don''t worry, sister. I know what to do."


    After a pause, Cai Mao said, "we have dealt with Liu Xiu several times, but Liu Xiu has taken advantage of us. After thinking about it, I feel that instead of dealing with Liu Xiu, I''d better let Mr. Cong show more and make him famous in Jingzhou. "


    "There are not many such opportunities," Cai said


    Cai Mao thought about it and said, "I''ll see everything tomorrow. What elder sister wants to do now is to stabilize Cong childe and let him not mess up. As long as everything is as usual, no matter how Liu Xiu is, it has no influence on Cong. After all, Liu Xiu is a commoner, which is a disadvantage that he can''t change. "


    Cai nodded: "don''t worry, I will persuade Cong''er."

 Chapter 27

    In the early morning of June, the air is cool and not too hot.


    Before dawn, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying got up early to wash and eat breakfast. They began to load the bobbin car and related accessories on the carriage, and let the carriage carry the bobbin car to the Hanjiang River.


    Pang Degong, Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan also went with them.


    By the river, the day was just beginning to dawn.


    A torch crackled and burned, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the whole riverside.


    Liu Xiu directs his family members to put the drum on the Hanjiang River.


    However, the big wheel of the bobbin car is temporarily fixed, and it can not rotate even under the impact of the turbulent river. On the side of the silo is a piece of farmland. The housekeeper fixed the sink, and the other end of the sink went straight to the farmland.


    As long as the fixed wheel is removed, the water plate is impacted by the torrent, and the wheel rotates, the water tube fixed on the wheel will fill the river with water. When the top of the wheel is turned, the mouth of the cylinder will incline downward, and the water in the water cylinder will be poured into the sink and flow to the field along the sink.


    Liu Xiu was relieved that everything had been installed.


    It''s daybreak.


    Seeing all this, Pang De Gong showed a knowing smile on his face and said, "come on, cover the bobbin car with a big black cloth, and don''t expose it for the time being."


    The servants acted immediately and soon covered the bobbin with black cloth.


    Pound''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu and said solemnly, "Xiuer, the bobbin car is ready. Soon, the literati and officials of Jingzhou will arrive. Everything is ready. Next, it''s up to you. "


    "The teacher can rest assured that the students will complete it successfully."


    Liu Xiu nodded, confident and calm.


    With so much effort, we can''t afford to waste it.


    As the sun rises to the East, the sun falls on the turbulent Hanjiang River, reflecting the golden light.


    Liu Xiu stood by the river, as if bathed in the golden sun.


    Today''s Liu Xiu, dressed in a white robe, with a jade pendant hanging on his waist and boots on his feet, looks across the river. His eyes seem to have expectations and even more prospects. He is a man of extraordinary stature.


    Liu Xiu is not very old, but he has been a man for three generations. His temperament is not as restless and immature as that of young people. He has the mature and steady character of an adult. What''s more, he has an indescribable vicissitudes.


    It has to be said that none of the people in the old Liu family is crooked.


    Liu Biao is more than eight feet long, tall and handsome. When he was young, he was more elegant and famous.


    Liu Qi is mild, handsome and modest. Liu Cong''s eyes are a bit sinister, but his height and appearance can''t be picky. He is quite handsome.


    Huang Yueying stood aside, looking at today''s Liu Xiu, her face suddenly a little more red.


    A rest assured, but also the plop of the jump non-stop.


    In her eyes, today''s Liu Xiu has a strange temperament.


    As time went by, more and more people gathered by the river, and many curious people began to come and see what happened. However, the Pang family and the Huang family have already formed a circle to let the servants guard and prevent the tumult from spreading to the bobbin car.


    Onlookers can only watch outside.


    One by one, the eyes are shining, whispering, discussing how to use the bobbin car.


    It''s only a quarter of an hour before the hour.


    Suddenly, the broad official road, came bursts of shouts, standing on the official road of the people, straight away to avoid, give way to a road.


    "Mr. Zhou Mu is here!"


    A loud voice came with it.


    The soldiers who opened the way were so fierce that the people retreated one after another and did not dare to face them.


    The soldiers stopped by the river.


    Liu Biao wore a green scarf on his head, a broad collar shirt, and a sword hanging from his waist. When he got out of the carriage, he walked with his sword. He stopped step by step, majestic. Jingzhou''s civil and military generals followed, already looking curious.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu, Pang Degong and others rushed forward to greet him.


    Standing in front of Liu Biao, Liu Xiu''s face was calm, and he arched his hands and said, "see your father!"


    Mr. pound and others saluted.


    Liu Biao nodded, saluted one by one, and then asked, "it''s almost time. Are you ready?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "everything is ready!"


    "Good!"


    Liu Biao''s face was full of excitement.


    This year''s drought, Jingzhou county officials have played, asked Liu Biao support, resulting in Liu Biao''s life is very difficult. Now Liu can figure out the solution.


    A crowd stood by the river, waiting quietly.


    It''s time, it''s time!


    Standing behind Liu Biao, Cai Mao suddenly asked, "what''s the matter with the bobbin car made by xiugongzi?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "please wait a moment for Mr. de Li. I''ll see when I lift the black cloth. The operation of the bobbin car is not complicated, and it does not need human and animal resources. It only needs the flow of rivers, and then it can continuously draw water for irrigation. "These words aroused Jingzhou''s curiosity.


    There is absolutely no such thing as a bobbin car without manpower and animal power.


    Once it appears, it is immeasurable to Jingzhou and the whole world.


    Yi Ji''s eyes showed a look of appreciation, and said: "before the master Xiuzi added the crown, he made a bobbin car to solve his worries. It''s admirable that the Lord has a son. "


    Liu Biao stroked his beard under his jaw and said with a laugh, "Uncle Ji praised the boy so much!"


    Liu Xiu said sincerely, "what my father said is that Mr. Jibo is wrong."


    All of them had a good time talking and laughing.


    Liu Xiu responded to the questions raised by other people one by one, and his answers were both modest and appropriate.


    "It''s time!"


    Suddenly, a servant called out.


    In an instant, Liu Biao and Jingzhou''s Wenwu were all in the air, full of expectation. This is a matter of life and death for Jingzhou people, and no one can ignore it.


    Liu Xiu stepped forward, stood by the river, grasped one end of the black cloth and removed it.


    In an instant, the bobbin car is shown in everyone''s eyes.


    "Is this a bobbin car? It looks very simple, but if the bobbin car doesn''t turn, how can we get water? "


    "Can such a bobbin car be made? I''m afraid it''s difficult to solve Jingzhou''s dilemma just by relying on such objects. "


    "Look down, it''s no joke."


    In the civil and military circles of Jingzhou, direct discussions began.


    Liu Biao looked forward and asked, "Xiuer, how can the bobbin car get water?"


    "Father, wait a moment. I''ll see you soon."


    Liu Xiu answered, then stepped forward, took out the dagger and cut the rope that fixed the big wheel.


    Under the impact of the turbulent River, the big wheel began to turn.


    "Creak! Creak


    The big wheel turns, and the bamboo tube fixed on the big wheel turns around in the river. After it is filled with water, it begins to go up. When the bamboo tube reaches the top, the water in the tube is poured into the sink.


    "Gudong! Gudong


    A continuous stream of water, into the sink, irrigation into the farmland inside.


    "There''s water, there''s water!"


    In the crowd, suddenly someone was shouting, voice, more with excitement.


    A group of people looked at the tube car, eyes are hot.


    Yi Ji''s eyes were full of splendor, and he sighed: "it doesn''t need to be operated by people or dragged by animals. If we take water day and night in this way, a little makes a lot, we will surely be able to solve the drought in Jingzhou. "


    Kuai Yue''s eyes were sharp, and he analyzed: "as long as the ditch is dug by the river ahead of time, and the river water is irrigated into the ditch by the bobbin car, it can flow in all directions. As long as the tube car designed by xiugongzi is popularized, it will be enough to solve the problem of drought in Jingzhou. "


    Kuai Yue took a deep breath and said, "Congratulations, Lord!"


    Yi Ji said, "congratulations to the Lord!"


    After a group of officials saw it, they all realized the mystery. It is not too difficult to alleviate or even solve the problem of drought in Jingzhou as long as the bobbin car is popularized.


    Cai Mao watched all this happen, especially the civil and military people in Jingzhou congratulated him one after another, so he had to suppress the idea of picking a thorn. Cai Mao had a strong smile on his face and said, "my Lord, I''m very lucky to have this beautiful girl in Jingzhou."


    Liu Biao stroked his beard under his jaw and couldn''t help laughing.


    Looking at Liu Xiu''s eyes, he was even more satisfied.


    Liu Xiu took out the finished drawing from his arms, held it in his hand and said respectfully, "father, this is the drawing of the bobbin car. The production of the bobbin car is not complicated. My father only needs to let the craftsmen rush to work all night, and he will soon be able to solve the difficulties of the counties in Jingzhou. "


    "Yes, yes, my son."


    Liu Xiu offered his drawings, and Liu Biao was more satisfied.


    Immediately, Liu Biao handed it to Yi Ji and said, "Ji Bo, you are responsible for making the bobbin car. Be sure to be quick and make the bobbin car in the shortest time to solve the current dilemma. "


    Yi Ji is full of confidence and says in a loud voice: "don''t worry, my Lord. I will finish my task."

 Chapter 28

    After the successful completion of the bobbin car experiment, the people scattered and praised Liu Xiu one after another.


    Since then, Liu Xiu entered the sight of Jingzhou people.


    Jingzhou officials also began to really examine Liu Xiu, no longer treat Liu Xiu as an ordinary common son.


    Liu Xiu, even though he was a commoner, had already gained a certain reputation for his deeds.


    In a hurry to solve the plight of Jingzhou, Yi Ji left with the officials of the workshop. However, Liu Biao took Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Wen pin and other military generals to the Huang family.


    In the hall, people took their seats.


    Liu Xiu''s position is still backward, not forward.


    Liu Biao''s eyes swept the crowd and his heart was agitated.


    After this incident, the status of the Liu family in Jingzhou was more stable, and the people were even more grateful.


    Liu Biao looked at Liu Xiu with praise in his eyes and said, "Xiuer, come forward."


    "No!"


    Liu Xiu was ordered to take the initiative.


    Standing in the hall, Liu Xiu stood upright. In the face of many officials, Liu Xiu took it calmly, which made many officials look sideways.


    With a smile on his face, Liu said: "Jingzhou has always been rewarded for its meritorious deeds and punished for its mistakes. You are the son of my official, but you can''t avoid your relatives. You have made great contributions. You said, "what reward do you want?"


    Liu xiudao: "it''s all up to my father!"


    Liu Biao nodded slightly and thought carefully.


    When I asked Liu Xiu, I just referred to Liu Xiu''s opinions. I didn''t really let Liu Xiu decide.


    Liu Biao pondered for a moment and said, "Liu Xiu, listen to the order!"


    "Yes


    Liu xiulang replied.


    Liu Biao said: "you have contributed to the relief of the drought in Jingzhou, and you owe it to the people. I''ll give you the post of commander of riding. "


    "Not my Lord!"


    Without waiting for Liu Xiu to answer, Cai Mao rose to oppose.


    Riding Du Wei, is a Guanglu Xun, rank than two thousand stone, head supervision Yulin riding. This official position needs to be appointed by the imperial court, whose duty is to take charge of the imperial guards.


    Cao Cao held the emperor hostage, and the local state herdsmen did not listen to the orders. The appointment of officials had been made by themselves.


    It is also normal for Liu Biao to appoint a riding captain.


    However, for Jingzhou, Liu Xiu''s role as a riding captain means that he has the right to supervise the bodyguards around the herdsmen. Of course, Liu Biao''s appointment of Liu Xiu as the riding captain is a symbolic reward to a large extent, and it is impossible to give Liu Xiu the power of supervision.


    Even so, Cai Mao can''t take risks.


    Liu Xiu is only given an official position of reputation, but sometimes, the official position of reputation will cause great changes.


    Captains riding are one of them.


    Liu Biao''s eyes narrowed and asked, "military adviser, what''s your suggestion?"


    Liu Xiu interjected: "father, my son has something to say." Before Cai Mao could speak, Liu Xiu interrupted directly. Cai Mao took the initiative to attack, Liu Xiu naturally will not wait to die, will not give the initiative to Cai Mao''s hands.


    Liu Biao thought about it and said, "you say it!"


    Liu xiumao didn''t cut in.


    When Liu Xiu finished, he would consider how to make Liu Xiu unable to serve as a riding captain.


    Liu Xiu replied, "my father, my son doesn''t want to be the commander of the cavalry."


    WOW!


    Officials in the hall exclaimed.


    Everyone thought that Liu Xiu and Cai Mao were going to face each other head-on, but they didn''t expect that Liu Xiu would take the initiative to resign.


    All the worries in Pound''s eyes disappeared. In fact, that''s why he appreciates Liu Xiu. Can judge the situation, will not be dazzled by fame and wealth.


    Cai Mao had a bad feeling in his mind.


    In the past, Cai Mao saw Liu Xiu''s methods in Lianxiang building. Today''s confrontation with Liu Xiu made Cai Mao feel scared, as if he was not facing a young man, but an equal opponent.


    Liu Biao was surprised and asked, "why?"


    Liu xiudao: "there are four reasons for my son."


    "First of all, the post of commander in chief is a heavy responsibility. The father meant well, but the son was terrified, especially when he was not yet an adult and was not in charge of government affairs. If he reluctantly took the post of riding captain, he might fail his father''s hard work. "


    "Second, my son has just entered lumen mountain to study, and now he is a riding captain. He will be distracted. At that time, my father did not do a good job in arranging things and learning. "


    "Third, the design of the bobbin car, although I designed it. But it''s not only my credit, but also the help of my teacher, Mr. Chengyan, Mr. moral and miss Yueying. It''s not fair to the others if the son takes credit. "


    "Fourth, the drought in Jingzhou has brought difficulties, which is not the responsibility of my father alone. Everyone is responsible for the difficulties in Jingzhou. Everyone has the responsibility to find a way to solve the dilemma. My son designed the bobbin car, but he just did what a Jingzhou person should do. What a person should do is not worthy of praise. "


    Liu Xiu bowed his hands and said, "my son, please, my father, take it back."


    After listening to Liu Biao, he was deeply touched.All of a sudden, he found that Liu Xiu was very reasonable and sensible. He thought his son was very good.


    Liu Biao said with emotion: "my family has children who have just grown up!"


    Liu Xiu understood that he moved Liu Biao and won his favor.


    In fact, in Liu Xiu''s view, riding Duwei is not very useful, though it seems beautiful. With Liu Biao''s character, it is impossible to hand over the right of Pro guard of the prefecture. Liu Xiu must be an empty shelf.


    It''s better not to.


    Cai Mao stood aside, secretly praising Liu Xiu for his good methods and taking a good step forward. Liu Xiu seems to refuse Liu Biao''s arrangement, but from Liu Biao''s expression, what Liu Xiu gains is Liu Biao''s appreciation and trust, which is immeasurable.


    Liu Biao changed his words and asked, "what do you want to say, De Li?"


    Cai Mao laughed awkwardly and replied, "I have nothing to say. At this moment, there is only one idea. "


    "What do you think?" Liu Biao asked.


    Cai Mao looked serious and said, "having a son should be like cultivating a son!"


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Liu Biao couldn''t help laughing and was very proud.


    To praise Liu Xiu is to praise Liu Biao, which makes Liu Biao more useful.


    Liu Xiu was afraid of CAI Mao in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said: "Mr. de Li made a comment, but he was scared. There are many talented people in Jingzhou, such as Zhuge Liang in Wolong, Pang Tong in fengxiao, and Ma Liang in Baimei. Boy, it''s just a small skill. It''s not worth mentioning. "


    Cai Mao arched his hand and said, "young master Xiu is modest."


    Liu Biao was happy and thought about how to reward Liu Xiu.


    We can''t help but appreciate the merits of drought control.


    All of a sudden, Liu Biao took off his sword and said, "Xiuer, as you said, you are studying. You can''t be distracted, so your father won''t give you an official position. But you can''t help but reward for your great achievements. This sword is named Zhenshan sword. It is a sword worn by King Lugong, the ancestor of the ancestors. It has been handed down to this day and is worn by my father. Today, I give you Zhenshan sword for my father. I hope you will study hard and be a down-to-earth man. "


    Cai Mao opened his mouth, but Liu Biao''s eyes swept and he shut up.


    Liu Biao gave the sword in the name of his father. It''s a family affair. Cai Mao can''t interfere.


    However, compared with the Zhenshan sword, Cai Mao preferred Liu Xiu to be the riding captain. Because the significance of Zhenshan sword is more important. Unfortunately, it''s too late for him to stop it.


    Cai Mao''s heart sighed, but also frustrated.


    With an excited look on his face, Liu Xiu stepped forward, took up the Zhenshan sword in both hands, and bowed himself to say, "my father has taught me earnestly. My son will bear in mind and live up to his father''s expectations."


    Liu Biao nodded slightly, with a satisfied look on his face.


    Congratulations to the civil and military officials in Jingzhou.


    They look at Liu Xiu''s eyes, more essential changes. Liu Xiu was born in a poor family, but now he is valued by Liu Biao and his sword Zhenshan sword. This is interesting.


    A Zhenshan sword is of great significance.


    Although Liu Xiu was born as a commoner, he could fight for Jingzhou''s successor if he wanted to.

 Chapter 29

    After entering the night, the soft moonlight sprinkles down, the moonlight is hazy, seemingly real and illusory.


    The tumultuous lumen mountain finally regained its tranquility.


    The appearance of bobbin car makes lumen mountain lively. Liu Biao arrived at Huang''s home, which also made Huang''s home lively. Liu Xiu had lunch at Huang''s home at noon and left with civil and military officials in the evening.


    In the study, Pang Degong, Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan and Liu Xiu took their seats.


    Pound said: "Xiuer, how do you feel when you are in the limelight today? Isn''t it exciting


    Words, with a trace of humor.


    Liu Xiu replied, "I have two feelings about today."


    "Which two?" Asked Mr. pound.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes twinkled with a strange look and said, "first, men should be in power. Today''s scene is what a man should have. What kind of man is he when he is not in power


    With these words, the faces of Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui changed slightly.


    Liu Xiu did not seem to be aware of the look of the three people, and continued: "second, if people drink cold and warm water, they know it."


    "How do you say that?" asked pound


    When he heard Liu Xiu''s first words, pound was worried that Liu Xiu would be carried away. Now, after hearing Liu Xiu''s second sentence, Pang restrained his worries and listened to Liu Xiu''s explanation.


    Liu xiudao: "the design drawing of the bobbin car made me famous in Jingzhou. Get my father''s Zhenshan sword, let Jingzhou officials look at me with new eyes. "


    "On the surface, I''ve got a lot of respect and a lot of scenery."


    "In fact, after this incident, Liu Cong, Cai Mao and others will change their attitude towards me."


    "Before me, even though I had some performance, I was not liked by my father, and I was born as a commoner. In any case, it is impossible to fight for the position of successor of Jingzhou animal husbandry. "


    "Liu Cong''s worry about me is more about my becoming a knife in the hands of big brother, which will affect him."


    "Now I got the Zhenshan sword, which represents my father''s esteem."


    Liu Xiu''s face was dignified, and he said with emotion: "even if I didn''t have the mind to fight for the successor, Liu Cong would treat me as a thorn in the flesh, and even think that I was a competitor, and it was impossible to be as gentle as before."


    "Now, I''m afraid Liu Cong wants to get rid of it quickly."


    "Back to my elder brother Liu Qi, I''m afraid he''ll be afraid of me now. It''s impossible to protect me like before."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes, look dignified, "now I, on the surface of scenery, more respected, but careful analysis, in fact, I have nothing."


    "In terms of status, it''s still the common son''s origin, but no status."


    "In terms of status, there is no right in hand, no status."


    "In terms of power, there is no one available under his command, and there is no trace of power."


    Liu Xiu said: "what a Zhenshan sword gets is superficial, but it makes me fall into crisis. Therefore, the disciple said that if people drink water, they will know the cold and warm. Only one knows the pain. "


    Huang Chengyan nodded slightly, and his eyes were even more appreciative.


    I thought Liu Xiu would be overjoyed. What Liu Xiu said made Huang Chengyan see Liu Xiu''s idea.


    It is wise to think of danger in times of peace.


    Huang Chengyan asked: "since you know the disadvantages of Zhenshan sword, why do you take it?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were full of fighting spirit and said: "the meaning of Zhenshan sword is extraordinary. If it is an official position, it can be abandoned; if it is money, it can also be abandoned. But Zhenshan sword is different. To some extent, Zhenshan sword represents my father. To me, it may be an amulet that can protect me. "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "besides, men do something, but they don''t. Opportunities and dangers are in front of us. If we blindly avoid dangers and even have no courage to face them, how can we talk about big things? "


    Sima Hui praised: "well, a man has something to do, something not to do. Boy, I''ll take care of you. "


    Pound''s eyes were full of laughter, and his worries were put down.


    Pound said: "if you know your situation, you should know what difficulties you will encounter. To get out of trouble and make a career, we need not only ability, but also perseverance and endurance. Since ancient times, there have been countless people with outstanding abilities, and few of them have been able to remain in history. Because in terms of ability, we have to endure what ordinary people can''t, and we have to be tough. "


    Liu Xiu replied: "the teacher teaches, the disciple remembers."


    Sima Hui''s eyes turned and his words changed, saying: "in the past, I used to say that I was a matchmaker for you in Lianxiang building, but you refused. Now I''ll ask you, if I''m the matchmaker for you, would you like to? "


    Huang Chengyan smell speech, stare at Sima Hui one eye.


    Pound looked at Liu Xiu with a smile, waiting for Liu Xiu''s answer.


    Liu Xiu smell speech, straight CuO tooth flower son.


    Can Huang Chengyan feel comfortable when he brings this up directly? Liu Xiu thought about it and replied, "Mr. moral is going to be a matchmaker for the boy. He''s very clever. It''s just that I''m not going to get married for the time being. "Sima Hui frowned and said, "don''t you like Yueying?"


    For Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying, Sima Hui has already seen it.


    Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan also understand.


    A trace of anger appeared on Huang Chengyan''s face. He asked, "Yueying is a simple person. You have been provoking Yueying in your family these days. Now you say you won''t get married. What do you mean?"


    Seeing this, pound scolded: "Xiuer, explain clearly."


    When it comes to Huang Yueying''s life, pound will not be careless, and he does not want to have conflicts between the two sides.


    Liu Xiu replied: "teacher, Mr. Chengyan, Mr. moral, the boy likes Yueying and plans to marry Yueying. Just, not now. "


    "Why?" Huang asked


    Liu Xiu said: "first of all, I''m a commoner now. I''m not valued and I''m in a lot of crisis. If Yueying marries me now, she will bear great danger and pressure. Secondly, if I want to marry Yueying, I must marry fengfengfengguangguang. Now I am powerless and powerless, unable to achieve. Third, Yueying is 16 years old and I am 18 years old. It''s not too late for her to get married. Most importantly, after one or two years of preparation, I am confident that I can achieve my goal. "


    After hearing this, Huang Chengyan''s anger eased slightly.


    Pound Fair: "your boy''s consideration, but also reasonable." After a pause, pound asked, "Chengyan, what do you think of Xiuer''s words?"


    "It''s acceptable," Huang said


    Sima Hui looked relaxed and said, "it seems that I don''t need any more. It''s just that the night is deep. I''m going to have a rest."


    Pound Justice: "so far tonight, all early rest."


    Four out of the study, Wang Yan is straight to the rest of the bedroom line. On the way, Liu Xiu met Huang Yueying. Huang Yueying, holding her skirt in her hands, looked at Liu Xiu and said with some apprehension, "is what you said true, young master Xiu?"


    "What''s that?" Liu Xiu has a smile on his lips and a trace of banter.


    Huang Yueying said, "what did you say before?"


    Liu xiudao: "when we made the bobbin car before, we said a lot of words. What is that sentence?"


    Huang Yueying was ashamed and flustered. After a moment''s silence, she bravely said, "it''s not what you said when you made the bobbin car, it''s what you said in your father''s study just now."


    Liu Xiu went to grab Huang Yueying''s hand and joked, "well, you are eavesdropping."


    "I''m just passing by," said Huang Yueying


    However, the tone of her voice, but not the slightest confidence.


    Looking at Huang Yueying, Liu Xiu solemnly said, "Yueying, what I say is from the bottom of my heart. I want to marry you, and I must marry you in a beautiful way. I won''t hurt you. "


    Huang Yueying smiles and says, "I''ll wait for you!"


    After that, Huang Yueying broke away from Liu Xiu''s hand and ran away.


    Liu Xiu looked at the graceful figure disappeared in the line of sight, his eyes emerged a trace of tenderness. As a common son, his father doesn''t love him and his elder brother doesn''t love him, but there are teachers who support him and lovers who care about him.

 Chapter 30

    Liu Xiu is doing morning exercises at Lushan.


    From time to time, villagers passed by. When they saw Liu Xiu, they immediately stopped to say hello, bowing and thanking.


    The people coming and going made Liu Xiu have to stop morning exercises and return to Huang Fu.


    After breakfast, pound took Liu Xiu up the mountain.


    As soon as he went up the mountain, Pang Fu met him and said, "master, Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu are already waiting in the school house."


    Pound nodded and said, "I see. I''ll be there soon."


    After Pang Fu left, Pang Degong looked at Liu Xiu and said, "today is the day of teaching. The place of teaching is in the school house. You go back to your room to have a wash, and then go to the school house to attend the class. "


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu was excited.


    Pang Degong''s lectures will be attended by Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others. This is Liu Xiu''s opportunity. He went back to his room, changed into a clean and fresh suit, and went straight to the school house.


    Pound''s school house is actually a big clean and empty house.


    In the room, there are desk after desk.


    Just above is pound''s seat, with the rest on both sides. When Liu Xiu arrived, pound had not come yet. When he entered, he said hello to Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others one by one, and then took his seat.


    Pang Tong sat casually and said with a smile, "Mr. Xiu, can you help me next?"


    His forehead was high, his nose was flat, his eyebrows were pointed, his lips were thick, his skin was dark, and his hair was more scattered.


    Pound''s Justice: "you can use the skill of governing the country, you can march and fight, you can unite vertically and horizontally It''s up to you to choose which direction to choose. "


    When everyone heard the words, they all immersed themselves in thinking.


    Liu Xiu recalled what pound explained and thought about how to write it.


    He attends classes with Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others. Now he has a field test. Liu Xiu doesn''t want to let them look down upon him. Otherwise, he will have great difficulties in recruiting these people in the future.

 Chapter 31

    Zhuge Liang thought for a moment, then began to prepare for the ink.


    Before writing, Zhuge Liang looked up at Liu Xiu not far away, with a trace of expectation in his eyes.


    Compared with Liu Xiu, Zhuge Liang felt inferior.


    However, this is a troubled time, a time of war. In the peaceful and prosperous times, reciting poems and writing Fu is not only an elegant thing, but also a manifestation of ability. In such an era of war, only three or two lines of poetry can be chanted, and even one''s own can not be saved.


    What we really need to master is the skill of governing the country and stabilizing the country, and the skill of marching and fighting.


    This is where Mr. pound came up with the question.


    If Liu Xiu was just a rich man who wrote poems and Fu, Zhuge Liang would not have too much intersection with Liu Xiu.


    If Liu Xiuxiong had a strategy, it would be different.


    Zhuge Liang took back his thoughts, sorted them out and began to write.


    Brush! Brush!!


    In the school house, all the people are writing quickly.


    Liu Xiu has already started to write. As soon as he starts to write, his speed is extremely fast. Of all the people, Liu Xiu is the fastest. Because Liu Xiu''s difficulty lies in the choice, once there is a choice, there will be a complete article.


    Less than half an hour later, Liu Xiu stopped writing.


    Looking around, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Meng Gongwei and Shi Tao are still writing.


    He was the only one to finish it.


    Seeing Liu Xiu stop, pound asked, "Ji Xu, have you finished it?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "I have finished writing it back to my teacher."


    Lord pound said, "hand it in."


    Liu Xiu got up, handed the written game theory to pound''s desk, and then returned to his seat.


    Pang Tong is not far from Liu Xiu. After reading his own strategy theory, he wrote less than half of it, and Liu Xiu has finished it. Think of here, Pang Tong heart sour, low voice asked: "repair childe, really write it?"


    Liu Xiu nods and smiles.


    Pang Tong shook his head and sighed, thinking that people are more popular than dead people. The speed gap is too big.


    Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others, seeing this, set up the spirit of twelve points and speeded up the writing of their own strategies.


    After all, all of them are older than Liu Xiu and spend more time studying in lumen mountain. If Pang Tong echoed, "please comment."


    Xu Shu, Shi Tao and Meng Gongwei all looked curious.


    They have been studying with him for a long time. They have known him well for a long time. They know that he can''t be partial to Liu Xiu in this kind of things.


    Since Pang Degong commented on Pang Degong''s facial expression, he picked up Liu Xiu''s strategy theory and began to read it.


    The destruction of the six states, non military disadvantage, poor war, the disadvantage lies in bribe Qin. To bribe Qin and lose strength is the way of destruction. Or say: six countries mourn each other, lead bribe Qin ye? He said: those who do not bribe will be killed by bribes. If they lose their strong support, they can''t finish it alone. Therefore, the disadvantage lies in bribing Qin.


    In addition to the Qin Dynasty''s conquest, the small will win the capital, and the large will win the city


    ¡­¡­


    The ancients said: "to serve Qin, still hold the fire, pay not enough, the fire does not extinguish." That''s right!


    The people of Qi did not bribe Qin, but eventually moved and destroyed the five kingdoms? Win but not help the five countries


    ¡­¡­


    If the envoys of the Three Kingdoms love their places, the people of Qi should not attach themselves to Qin. If the assassins are not good and the good generals are still there, the number of victories and losses and the principle of survival and death should be compared with Qin.


    ¡­¡­


    The six states of Fu and Qin are all princes, and their power is weaker than that of Qin, but they can still win without bribes. The story of the destruction of the six Kingdoms is that it is under the six kingdoms again.


    Su Xun''s on the six kingdoms, read by pound, is full of cadence and grandeur.


    Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others were stunned.


    Absolutely!


    This article is amazing!


    It is praiseworthy that the language of the game theory is clear, the writing is vigorous and galloping.


    This kind of game theory, however, came from Liu Xiu.


    For a moment, looking at Liu Xiu''s eyes, there is a strong admiration. There is no order in learning, the first is to achieve. Liu Xiu''s performance convinced Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others.


    After reading it, pound didn''t immediately start his lecture and waited quietly.


    Half a quarter of an hour later, when the crowd had digested, pound coughed twice to make them come back to their senses.


    Pound said publicly: "Ji Xu''s strategy is impeccable in both literary grace and logic."


    "The rules of the game theory are rigorous, flexible, arbitrary, ups and downs, and very ingenious. Between the lines, it''s magnificent and powerful, and it''s magnificent. "


    "It''s more catchy and pleasant to read."


    "The logic in the game theory has a clear outline, a clear pulse, a well-organized structure and is very old and spicy. The whole game theory, which is based on the beginning and the end, is progressive step by step, and its meticulous thinking is praiseworthy. "


    Pound looked around and asked, "do you have any different opinions?"


    Zhuge Liang said with sincerity: "a treatise on the six Kingdoms written by Mr. Xiu is full of maneuvers, sharp and sophisticated. Xiugongzi is not only good at writing poems, but also has a strategic mind, which is admirable. "Pang Tong said: "I thought that all the scholars under Liu Jingzhou''s knees were wine sacks and rice bags, but I also thought that the talents of Jingzhou were under Pang Shimen. Today I know that I underestimate the talents of Jingzhou. Today I know that there are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the world. "


    Zhuge Liang frowned and said, "Shiyuan, be careful!"


    When it comes to Liu Biao, Zhuge Liang looks dignified. After all, Liu Xiu is Liu Biao''s son.


    Before Liu Xiu went up the mountain, Pang Degong, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others commented on the situation many times. But at that time, Liu Xiu was no longer there, and there was no Liu Biao, and there was no scruple in his words.


    "It''s all right, we''re just discussing. It''s not in the way," he waved


    Liu Xiu didn''t look unhappy at all. He said: "brother Shiyuan is wrong. In the past, Jingzhou talents were under the teacher''s door. Today, the talents of Jingzhou are still under the teacher''s door. "


    "Ha ha ha Well said


    Pang Tong''s thick eyebrows stood upright, and his smiling face was frightening.


    When Zhuge Liang heard the speech, his eyes showed the color of meditation. From Pound''s attitude towards Liu Xiu and Liu Xiu''s look when he mentioned Liu Biao, he had already made a judgment.


    After commenting on Liu Xiu''s article, pound began to comment on the others.


    Zhuge Liang''s game theory is about the pre Qin code, focusing on the law. In the game theory, every thread has its own consideration; every move has its own square, careful thinking, delicate mind, and all aspects are well considered.


    Pang Tong''s game theory talks about the skill of combining vertical and horizontal, which is treacherous and ingenious.


    Xu Shu''s strategy theory refers to the internal governance, focusing on the skills of governing the country.


    Pound commented on everyone''s game theory one by one. When he finished commenting on everyone, pound waved his hand out of class.

 Chapter 32

    Pang Degong didn''t give lectures every day. After the lecture, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others scattered. Liu Xiu''s days also returned to calm.


    Early morning exercise, morning reading, afternoon down the mountain to find Huang Yueying, living a plain and full life.


    Time to enter the end of June, is already midsummer.


    Down the mountain, Huang family.


    In the backyard, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying are studying the art of institutions.


    The promotion of bobbin car makes Huang Yueying''s heart full of sense of achievement. However, she is not satisfied, and is still consulting ancient books to make more utensils.


    In order to please the beauty, Liu Xiu naturally has the unshirkable responsibility to support.


    In the process of getting along with each other, the relationship between them is becoming more and more intense.


    In the carpenter''s room, banging sounds are heard one after another. Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying are sweating and busy.


    "Dong! Dong


    A quick knock on the door sounded outside the carpentry room.


    Huang Yueying devoted herself to production, but did not hear the news outside the room. Liu Xiu turned his head and cried, "come in!"


    When the door opened, the servant girl came in in a hurry and said, "Mr. Xiu, Mr. Pang sent someone to send a message. Please go up the mountain immediately."


    "What happened?" Liu Xiu asked.


    The servant girl shook her head and said, "the messenger didn''t say that. I don''t know."


    Huang Yueying stopped and said with concern: "Uncle Pang is looking for you. There must be something urgent. Hurry up the mountain."


    Liu xiudao: "Yueying, I''ll go up the mountain first."


    Huang Yueying gets up to send Liu Xiu away. After Liu Xiu leaves Huang''s house, he runs straight up the mountain.


    Entering the mansion, Liu xiuchao went to his study.


    In the study, Pang Degong, Zhuge Liang, Pang Shanmin and Pang Lin have dignified faces.


    After Liu Xiu knocked on the door and entered, he sat down directly.


    Pang Degong took a look at Liu Xiu and said: "Ji Xu, just got the news, Shi Yuan was arrested by the Yamen officer and put into prison. The specific reason is that Shi Yuan killed Ma Yin, and now the Ma family demands that Shi Yuan be severely punished. "


    Liu Xiumei frowned and asked, "have you come up with a solution after discussing with your senior brothers?"


    Pound shook his head and said, "not yet!"


    Zhuge Liang said, "there are five reasons why it is difficult to deal with Shiyuan."


    "First, Ma Yin came from a famous family. Ma family is the family of Yicheng County in Nanjun County, and the foundation is behind him. Ma Yin, who was killed, was born of the Ma family, which led to a lot of trouble. "


    "Second, at the beginning, Ma Yin was just fighting with Shi Yuan. After a fight, Shi Yuan took the lead in the attack, but when he was angry, he picked up a stone and smashed Ma Yin to death. "


    "Third, after the Ma family knew about the matter, they were unwilling to reconcile. If they bite to death, they should severely punish Shi Yuan."


    "Fourth, two days later, the magistrate of Xiangyang County will bring Shi Yuan to trial. We''re in too short a time to prepare, "he said


    "Fifth, Ma Yuan, the magistrate of Xiangyang County, came from the Ma family in Yicheng. As long as Ma Yuan was there, Shi Yuan would definitely be in a disadvantageous position. This is the most difficult problem."


    After an analysis, Zhuge Liang described the specific process in detail.


    The whole story is that Pang Tong went to the city and met Ma Yin.


    At that time, Ma Yin saw that Pang Tong was ugly, so he mocked him.


    Pang Tong was not a man who could swallow his anger, so he argued with Ma Yin. Two people argue, Pang Tong gas however, pick up the stone of roadside throw to Ma Yin. Pang Tong''s original intention was to retaliate. He didn''t know that the stone hit Ma Yin''s temple and killed him on the spot.


    Looking worried, pound said, "Ji Xu, I''m here to ask you to think about something. So far, as long as Shiyuan''s life can be saved, everything will be easy to say. "


    Pang Lin is Pang Tong''s younger brother, Lian said: "xiugongzi, uncle said you are quick thinking, please think of a way."


    Pang Lin is Pang Tong''s brother.


    The Pang family in Jingzhou is most famous for Pang Degong''s brother, Pang Ji, the elder brother, and Pang Degong. Both brothers are famous scholars in Jingzhou. When Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, Pang Ji and Kuai Yue said in person that Liu Biao was able to enter Xiangyang only after he surrendered Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, who occupied Xiangyang.


    It can be said that Pang Ji made great contributions to Liu Biao''s entry into Jingzhou.


    But Pang Ji died early, leaving Pang Tong and Pang Lin to be fostered at Pang Degong''s knee.


    Pang Shanmin said: "Ji Xu, although Shiyuan''s character is a little strange, he is not a vicious person. It is not his intention to kill Ma Yin this time. "


    Pang Shanmin was the eldest son of Pang Degong. Pang Tong and Pang Lin, who lived under Pang Degong, had a good relationship with Pang Shanmin.


    Pang Tong was arrested, and Pang Shanmin was also worried.


    Liu Xiu thought about the solution carefully. After a while, he asked, "teacher, if it is the worst case, what is the teacher going to do?"


    Pound is fair: "if Ma Yuan decides to behead Shi Yuan after he is put on trial, I can only show my old face and ask the governor for mercy."


    Before the last moment, Lord pound will not appear.


    Pang Degong came out in person, and the Ma family in Yicheng would go to the prefecture to find Liu Biao.Things head in front of Liu Biao, when the situation is more out of control. If we solve Pang Tong''s problem through the younger generation, everything will be much easier.


    Liu xiudao said: "since there is no way to save Shiyuan, I will give it to my disciples. Please don''t worry. I will do my best. "


    Zhuge Liang''s eyes coagulated and asked, "how does Master Xiu plan to save Shiyuan?"


    For Pang Tong''s crime, Zhuge Liang found it very difficult.


    Zhuge Liang was proficient in law and code.


    Knowing that Pang Tong had killed Ma Yin by mistake, he immediately read the law. After verification, it is found that Pang Tong''s affairs are difficult to deal with in any way.


    Unless, under Liu Biao''s pardon.


    In Zhuge Liang''s view, this is quite difficult to deal with. Liu Xiu took over this matter, which made Zhuge Liang doubt.


    Liu Xiu said: "I have to consider the plan to rescue brother Shiyuan. Moreover, I have to go to see Shi Yuan in my cell in person. After I have inquired about the detailed process, I can determine the final plan. "


    Zhuge Liang said, "is master Xiu sure?"


    Liu xiudao: "for the time being, it''s impossible to evaluate."


    After a pause, Liu xiudao said: "brother Kong Ming, if there is a solution, it can also be implemented. If we go hand in hand, we can have more assurance. "


    Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "for the time being, Liang has no way."


    When he spoke, Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Xiu with a little more inexplicable meaning.


    In Zhuge Liang''s opinion, Liu Xiugang''s words are true. What Liu Xiu means is that if you Zhuge Liang don''t come up with a way, don''t break the casserole and ask to the end.


    In fact, Liu Xiu did think so.


    He had only a rough idea in his mind. He didn''t see Liu Xiu. Nothing could be settled.


    But Zhuge Liang got to the bottom of it, which made Liu Xiu very impatient.


    Pound is just: "Xiuer, you should pay more attention to this matter."


    Liu xiudao: "Shiyuan is not only his elder brother but also his classmate. In any case, he will do his best. The disciple suggested that the teacher move to the city temporarily to facilitate work. There is a distance between lumen mountain and Xiangyang City. It''s very inconvenient to come and go. "


    Pound said: "your suggestion is reasonable. I''ll arrange it. Anyway, there are Pang''s industries in the city. "


    Liu Xiu said: "in that case, the disciples immediately went to clean up, and then went to the city to see Shiyuan. Then we meet at the house in the city. "


    Pound is just: "yes!"


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and left the study.

 Chapter 33

    Xiangyang County government is located in the northwest of Xiangyang City.


    When Liu Xiu arrived in the city from lumen mountain, it was almost dark. He took Pang Fu, the housekeeper, straight to the county prison.


    The head of the prison, Su San, is responsible for guarding the criminals in Xiangyang County.


    Seeing Liu Xiu and Pang Fu coming, Su San asked, "you two, this is a cell. No entry."


    Pang Fu''s face was full of smiles and said, "my Lord, please come to see Pang Tong for your convenience." With these words, Pang Fu took out a small bag and handed it to Su San.


    Su San weighed it over and a smile appeared on his face.


    The five baht money in the bag, at least a hundred pieces, is full of weight.


    Su San had a smile in his eyes and said: "you two, the county magistrate strictly forbids anyone to visit Pang Tong. But they are trustworthy people. After entering, they have something to say. After that, they come out quickly. I''ll keep a lookout for you. "


    "Thank you, my Lord," said Pang Fu


    Immediately, Liu Xiu and Pang Fu entered the cell.


    After walking through a wet and dark corridor, he entered the cell with dark light.


    Pang Tong''s position, in the innermost part of the cell, is simple and clean.


    When Liu Xiu and Pang Fu came, Pang Tong was sleeping on the hay.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu couldn''t laugh or cry in his heart.


    What time is it? Pang Tong still has leisure to sleep. However, from another perspective, this is also a good thing, and pound and others need not worry.


    "Brother Shiyuan, I''ve come to see you."


    Liu Xiu stood at the door of the cell and said.


    Pang Tong turned over and saw Pang Fu and Liu Xiu coming. He looked very happy. He said quickly: "do you come to see me? Ha ha, someone came to see me at last. "


    Liu xiudao: "the teacher and others are very concerned about you, and they are also trying to help you out."


    Pang Fu nodded and said, "take it easy, sir. I''m already thinking of something."


    Pang Tong looked gloomy and said, "it''s hard to deal with the matter of killing Ma Yin. In fact, I was too reckless to expect such consequences. "


    Liu xiudao said: "it''s so far. It''s no use sighing. Brother Shiyuan, about the conflict between you and Ma Yin, you can recall it in detail. I''ll listen and see if there is any room for operation. "


    Pang Tong nodded and carefully described the conflict between him and Ma Yin.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu said, "I already know what happened. When I go back, I''ll think about it again. Brother Shiyuan will stay in prison. The teacher will help you out soon. "


    Pang Tong looked grateful and said, "master Xiu, it''s hard for you."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "you and I are from the same school. We don''t have to be like this."


    Pang Fu comforted Pang Tong a few more words, and then walked out of the cell with Liu Xiu. When he left, Pang Fu took the money to Su San and asked him to take good care of Pang Tong before he left.


    Sitting in the carriage, Pang Fu asked, "Mr. Xiu, will you go back to the mansion next?"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "no, there''s one more thing to test."


    "What''s the matter?" asked Pang Fu


    Liu Xiu said, "the carriage stops outside the county government. If you go to the county government, you say Pang Fu asks for the county magistrate."


    Pang Fu frowned and said, "master Xiu, can this be done?" The county magistrate is a member of the Ma family. At this time, it is almost impossible for him to intercede with Ma Yuan.


    Liu Xiu said with a light smile: "you just have a try. If the county magistrate sees you, he can just say something routine."


    "I see!"


    Pompey nodded without refuting.


    The carriage stopped at the gate of the county government. Pang Fu got out of the carriage and went to the gate of the county government. Finally, he was stopped by the Yamen guard.


    Pang Fu said, "please let me know. Pang Fu asked to see you."


    The Yamen servant held his head high and said, "are you from the Pang family?"


    "Yes


    Replied penford.


    The Yamen servant snorted coldly and said, "as you have said, all the Pang family members are gone. Please go back."


    Pang Fu took out a bunch of copper coins and tried to hand them to the Yamen servant. However, the Yamen servant''s eyes were ferocious and said in a fierce voice, "what are you doing? Do you want to bribe? Not yet. "


    Pang Fu smiles and turns away.


    The Yamen servant looked at Pang Fu''s back. He thought that the county magistrate had arranged for him to collect the money. Isn''t that a death wish?


    Pang Fu returned to the carriage and said, "young master Xiu, just now..."


    Liu xiudao: "I''ve seen it and heard it. Let''s go and go back to the mansion at once."


    Pang Fu nodded with a heavy heart.


    Back in the mansion, Pang Degong, Pang Shanmin and Pang Lin have arrived.


    In the study, the lights are bright.


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhuge Liang but did not see him. His heart moved and he sat down again.


    "How is Shiyuan?" asked pound


    Liu Xiu said: "brother Shiyuan is in a good state of mind. He won''t have a big problem in his cell for the time being.""What''s the difference in the detailed process?" he asked


    "All conflicts are the same," Liu said. However, I asked Pang Fu to go to the county government for a trial. Pang Fu went to the county government to visit, and without mentioning anything else, he was directly expelled. It can be seen that Ma Yuan, the magistrate of Xiangyang County, is determined to punish Shi Yuan severely and will definitely take sides with the Ma family. This is certain. "


    Pang Lin said anxiously: "what should we do? If Ma Yuan favors Ma Yin, he is in danger. "


    "What''s your plan, Hugh?" he asked


    Liu Xiu replied, "this is how I think about the plan to rescue brother Shiyuan. The first step is that we As long as the plan goes on step by step, I believe that the matter of Shi Yuan can be minimized. Even if they are punished, they are neither light nor heavy. As long as you keep your life, everything will be easy. "


    After a pause, Liu xiudao said: "at this stage, it is to implement the first step plan."


    After analyzing it, Pang Degong thought that the plan was feasible and said, "let Pang Fu arrange the specific implementation."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "the teacher has been busy all day, worried all day and tired all day. Let''s have a rest early. I''ll take care of Shiyuan. I''ll bring Shiyuan back safely. "


    Pound just: "you also pay attention to rest."


    Liu Xiu nodded and left.


    Out of the study, Liu Xiu called Pang Fu into the room and carefully explained what to do next.


    Listen to Pang Fu murmur: "is this feasible?"


    "What''s not feasible?" Liu Xiu had a confident smile on his face and said, "steward Pang is taking care of Nuo Da''s family. Can''t you even handle this matter well?"


    Pang Fu said: "don''t worry, young master Xiu. I will finish it tonight."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "go down and finish it as soon as possible. There are things tonight, and things tomorrow. If the plan fails in your part, all the following plans will fail. "


    Pang Fu nodded solemnly and retreated anxiously.

 Chapter 34

    On June nights, the moon is bright.


    Xiangyang City, the streets, the flow of people has been sparse.


    Wheel! Wheel!


    A carriage, driving fast along the open street, stopped outside the gate of Xiangyang County Government.


    The curtain of the carriage door rolled up, and a young man came down first and stood respectfully on one side.


    Later, a young man with gorgeous clothes, chin Yin crown, sword eyebrows and lofty appearance stepped down from the carriage. The boy quickly reached into the carriage, took out a one foot long and half foot high sandalwood box, and followed the young man to the front gate of the county government.


    "Bang! Bang


    There was a knock on the door.


    After a short time, the porter of the county government opened the door and looked at the knock.


    The young man said with a smile, "I''m Huang Xiao, a native of Yicheng, Nanjun county. He is a student of Ma Yin. I''d like to see the county magistrate if I have something to do. Please pass it on


    As soon as he heard that he was a schoolmate of Ma Yin, the porter cheered up and did not dare to neglect him.


    The story of Ma Yin has been spread all over the county government, from county officials, county captains, petty officials, to yamen servants and gatekeepers. They all know that Pang Tong killed Ma Yin.


    The county magistrate repeatedly prohibited the following people from accepting bribes, which also showed that before Pang Tong was put on trial, no Pang family members or people related to Pang family were seen.


    Now a friend of Ma Yin''s came. The Porter said in a hurry: "just a moment, young man. I''ll report to you immediately."


    Huang Xiao nodded and waited quietly.


    After a short time, the door opened again. The porter leaned out his head and said with a smile, "young master, I''ll see you in the living room in the backyard. Follow me."


    Huang Xiao nodded slightly, took out a string of five baht money and handed it to the porter.


    This time, the porter was happy.


    The porter''s eyes turned and said, "to tell you the truth, as long as it''s the Pang family, adults will not be seen. In particular, the adult has been pondering over the matter of Ma Yin. He may be a little angry. After seeing the adult, you should be as careful as possible. "


    "Thank you very much," Huang Xiao said with a smile


    A group of three soon came to the living room in the backyard.


    When Ma Yuan saw the visitor, he praised him secretly. What a handsome young man he was. At the same time, he was examining Huang Xiao.


    In the face of Ma Yuan, Huang Xiao said: "I''ve met adults in Huangxiao, huangxue village, Yicheng."


    "Sit down!"


    When Ma Yuan heard that Huang Xiao was from Yicheng, he showed a smile on his face.


    Ma originally came from the Ma family in Yicheng. Although he was an official in Xiangyang County, he was rooted in Yicheng and had a natural liking for Yicheng people.


    Huang Xiao sat down and said, "thank you


    Ma Yuan asked: "snow village late night visit, can you have something important?"


    Huang Xiao replied: "I heard that Ma Yin came to Xiangyang to study, but he was killed by the bully Pang Tong. After knowing this, I also feel sad. Because when I came to Xiangyang early next year, I was also upset by Pang tongdiao. "


    "Oh, you too?"


    Hearing that Huang Xiao had a similar experience, Ma Yuan had a smile on his face.


    In this way, Pang Tong''s accusation is more real.


    Huang Xiao solemnly said: "it is well known that Pang Tong is unforgiving and arrogant. Now Pang Tong is arrested, and all the students in Yicheng applaud. "


    Ma Yuan stroked his beard and laughed, with a trace of pride on his face.


    Huang Xiao said: "unfortunately, Ma Yin can''t survive. What a pity."


    Ma Yuan felt heavy when he heard the speech.


    Huang Xiao continued: "my Lord, the arrest of Pang Tong does not mean that Pang tong can be punished. I''m here to visit you for this matter. "


    Ma Yuan''s eyes narrowed and asked, "what does snow village mean?"


    Huang Xiao said, "don''t you know the power of Pang family in Xiangyang?"


    Ma Yuan''s eyes flashed with a sharp color.


    As Huang Xiao said, if Pang Jiazhen did it, it would not be easy for Ma to kill Pang Tong. Ma Yuan was just a county magistrate, unable to compete with the Pang family.


    Ma Yuan suddenly laughed and said, "now that the snow village has come, I think it must have a complete plan."


    Huang Xiao waves his hand and the boy behind him puts the wooden box on Ma Yuan''s desk.


    Ma Yuan asked, "what does that mean?"


    Huang Xiao waved his hand and said, "the magistrate will know as soon as he sees it!"


    Ma Yuan opened the wooden box, and in a flash, a burst of jewel was shining. In the box, there are pieces of jewelry and jade, each of which is exquisite.


    This box of jewelry is extremely valuable.


    At that moment, Ma Yuan''s heart was beating.


    Too much money!


    So much money, too expensive.


    Ma Yuan quickly closed the wooden box and asked, "what''s your intention?"


    In the eyes of Ma Xiao, the name "Huang" is more and more important.


    Huang Xiao said: "Pang Tong killed Ma Yin. He didn''t account for reason or justice. In terms of the law, Pang Tong will surely die. However, once Pang Degong went to Liu Jingzhou in person, as long as Liu Jingzhou gave an order, Pang Tong would be punished at most and could not be convicted. ""Therefore, we must put an end to this possibility in advance."


    "With the prestige of the county magistrate and the influence of the Ma family in Xiangyang, they can''t compete with the Pang family."


    "If you want to win Pang Tong, you have to rely on external forces."


    Huang Xiao''s eyes were sharp and said solemnly, "this external force is Cai Shi. Everyone knows that Liu Jingzhou dotes on CAI. Adults just need to let Cai''s ears blow in front of Liu Jingzhou, and everything will be OK. "


    "The jewels and jades in the box were presented to Cai by the adults."


    "As for CAI, I expect to agree."


    "First, the Cai family is a woman who loves money and jewelry; second, if the Cai family, the Kuai family, the Pang family and the Huang family in Xiangyang can weaken the Pang family, why not the Cai family?"


    Huang Xiao''s tone was sharp and said, "Pang Degong could not see Liu Jingzhou, or Liu Jingzhou declined, so Pang Tong would never have another chance."


    Ma Yuan said, "it''s not easy for you and Pang Tong to pay such a high price."


    "My Lord is wrong!"


    Huang Xiao shook his head and said, "when I came down to Xiangyang, I was just verbally humiliated by Pang Tong, but the gratitude and resentment were not big. Moreover, the jewels and jades in the box are not owned by the next person, but by other Yicheng students who came to Xiangyang to study. It''s just that I''m entrusted to see your excellency. "


    After hearing this, Ma Yuan relaxed his guard on his face.


    When it comes to the struggle between Xiangyang and Yicheng students, Ma Yuan also agrees with Huang Xiao.


    Ma Yuan nodded and said, "I have taken the jewels and jades. Tomorrow, I will find someone to present them to Madame Zhou mu."


    That said, Ma Yuan thought that as long as a small part of it is intercepted and converted into money, it is also a lot of money. No one can see what is missing from a box of jewels and jades.


    Huang Xiao arched his hand and said, "it''s all up to the adults. I just hope that this matter can be completed before Pang Tong''s trial. After the trial, Pang Degong first found Liu Jingzhou, which led to Pang Tong''s impunity."


    Ma Yuan smile, said: "this, you can rest assured."


    Huang Xiao said: "it''s late at night. Let''s have a rest early. Goodbye."


    "Take your time, no see off!"


    Ma Yuan nodded and watched Huang Xiao leave.


    After Huang Xiao got out of the county magistrate''s office, he and his entourage got on the carriage and disappeared into the night.

 Chapter 35

    June 25, early morning.


    When the sun was rising, Liu Xiu got up and did morning exercises. After breakfast, he found Pang Lin.


    At the moment, panglin is like a frosted eggplant without any spirit.


    A pair of eyes, blood all over; angular cheeks, showing a trace of pale; dry lips, face depression, a sad transition look.


    When Pang Lin saw Liu Xiu, he said bitterly in his eyes: "Mr. Xiu, I''ve listened to your advice. Since last night, I haven''t got any rice, I haven''t drunk a drop of water, and I haven''t slept all night. Now, the whole person is floating. "


    Liu Xiu thumbed up and praised: "with this effect, brother Shiyuan can be saved."


    "Really?"


    In Pang Lin''s eyes, there was a glimmer of hope.


    His father died early. He and Pang Tong lived under the knee of Pang Degong. The two brothers were dependent on each other and had a good relationship.


    Pang Tong had a problem, and Pang Lin was very worried.


    If Pang Tong had any problems, Pang Lin would be alone.


    With a confident smile, Liu Xiu said, "my words are naturally more true than real gold and silver. Come on, follow me to the prefecture. Today, it''s the most critical part of the plan. You can''t make mistakes. "


    They went out of the mansion, got on the carriage and went straight to the prefecture.


    When Liu Xiu got the news of Zhenshan sword, he had already spread it in the prefecture. When he arrived at the prefecture, his servant girl was very respectful and didn''t dare to show any disrespect.


    With Pang Lin, Liu Xiu went straight into the house.


    A little inquiry, asked Liu Biao to deal with government affairs in the study.


    However, Liu Xiu did not go to Liu Biao directly, but asked the attendant to tell Liu Biao that he and Pang Lin were waiting in the hall. After a while, Liu Biao, wearing a gorgeous dress and a green scarf, strode forward.


    Liu Biao''s pace was lighter and his face was a little pale than when he was recovering from a serious illness.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu sighed in his heart that it was the consequence of old husband and young wife.


    Liu Xiu muttered in his heart, but with a look of respect on his face, he arched his hand and said, "son Liu Xiu, meet your father.


    "Little Pang Lin, I''d like to meet you."


    Pang Lin''s face was gray and he saluted weakly.


    Liu Biao glanced at Pang Lin with a trace of disgust in his eyes. All along, Liu Biao attaches great importance to clothing and image.


    Pang Lin''s untidy and gaunt appearance made Liu Biao unhappy.


    With that, Liu Biao also glanced at Liu Xiu and had such a trace of examination.


    Liu Xiu had already found out Liu Biao''s temper, but he was not flustered when he saw that Liu Biao was uncomfortable. Pang Lin''s situation is that he did it intentionally. Only in this way can Liu Biao believe it.


    Liu Xiu pointed to Pang Lin and said, "father, Pang Lin is Pang Ji''s second son."


    "Please make the decision for your brother!"


    With a plop, Pang Lin knelt down on the ground like a jade pillar.


    That sad helpless look, it is moving.


    Liu Biao looked at Pang Lin, and Pang Ji''s confident, elegant and extraordinary face appeared in his mind.


    In the past, Liu Biao was appointed governor of Jingzhou and went to Xiangyang. However, Xiangyang was occupied by bandits. It was Pang Ji and Kuai Yue who entered Xiangyang and convinced the bandits who occupied Xiangyang, which made Liu Biao enter Xiangyang smoothly.


    It can be said that Pang Ji made great contributions.


    Liu Biao is narrow-minded, but he has a good face.


    When he saw his hero, he was slovenly and haggard. His disgust dissipated and he became angry instead.


    Once someone says that Liu Biao does not care about Pang Lin''s life or death, it will make people think that Liu Biao does not care about the life or death of the meritorious officials'' descendants, which will inevitably affect Liu Biao''s reputation.


    Liu Biao had a smile on his face and said, "nephew, get up first, then what happened?"


    "Thank you, my Lord."


    Pang Lin stood up with a mournful look.


    Liu Biao scolded: "Xiuer, Pang Lin is in trouble. Why don''t you report it earlier, and you won''t let your nephew fall into such a dilemma."


    In Liu Xiu''s heart, everyone has brought it. Isn''t it early to report it?


    Liu Xiu is helpless to Liu Biao.


    Liu Xiu, with a serious face, explained: "tell my father that my son knew it last night. So this morning, I came with Pang Lin in a hurry. "


    Liu Biao nodded slightly and asked hypocritically, "what happened, my dear nephew?"


    "My Lord, here''s the thing..."


    When Pang Lin heard the speech, he choked and said three or two sentences, but he was still weak.


    Liu Xiu quickly took over the conversation and explained Pang Tong''s affairs in detail.


    Liu Xiu did not falsify the conflict between Pang Tong and Ma Yin and stated the facts. Liu Biao good face, but not stupid, once the lie is detected, the consequences are unimaginable.


    After listening to Liu Biao, his face wrinkled.


    To save Pang Tong would embarrass the Ma family. This is a problem.


    If Pang Tong is not saved, the Pang family will not give up. The most important thing is that Pang Lin is the son of Pang Ji.Liu Xiu continued: "Pang Lin asked to see his father, not to let his Father forgive Pang Tong. Because when the teacher learned about Pang Tong, he also said that he would not interfere in the trial of the government and could not stop the government from handling the case. "


    Liu Biao was happy and praised: "Pang Gong is a reasonable man."


    Liu Xiu continued: "Pang Tong''s imprisonment has yet to be verified. Pang Lin just hopes that the trial can be fair, but the current situation is not fair. That''s what Pang Lin came for. "


    "What''s unfair?" Liu Biao asked


    Liu Xiu explained: "Ma Yuan, the magistrate of Xiangyang County, is a member of the Ma family in Yicheng. Ma Yuan was instructed by the Ma family to turn pangtong''s case into a death case. The most important thing is that last night, when Ma Yuan took bribes, he was even more targeted at Pang Tong. "


    "Son of a bitch!" Liu Biao said angrily.


    Liu Xiu stood respectfully below, waiting for Liu Biao''s decision in his heart.


    With Liu Biao''s character, it is impossible for him to give up. At least he will send someone to check.


    Liu Biao asked, "is the news true?"


    Liu Xiu replied: "the information provided by Pang family should not be wrong. His father was honest and upright, and he was famous all his life. If Pang Tong died unjustly at this time, I''m afraid his father''s reputation would be affected. After all, Pang Tong is the son of Pang Ji, and Pang Tong is also a talented person in Xiangyang. "


    Liu said, "you have done a good job in this matter."


    At the moment, Liu Biao''s anger has poured out on Ma Yuan. He believes that the Pang family''s news will not be false.


    After all, it''s about Pang Tong''s life.


    Liu Biao big sleeve a brush, ordered: "come, call wenpin immediately to see."


    "No!"


    The soldiers went down to deliver the letter. It wasn''t long. Wenpin came in armor.


    Wenpin saluted and said, "at the end of the day, wenpin will meet the Lord."


    Liu Biao said, "take a hundred Jiashi and surround Xiangyang County Government. First, arrest Ma Yuan, Xiangyang County Magistrate; second, search Ma Yuan''s residence to see if he has a lot of money. "


    "No!"


    Wenpin clasped his fist and turned to walk out.


    Liu Xiulian said hastily, "father, son and Pang Lin also want to go to have a look, please father''s permission?"


    Liu Biao said, "go!"


    Liu Xiu and Pang Lin heard the speech and said goodbye.


    Wenpin mobilized the army, took Liu Xiu and others, and went straight to Xiangyang County Government.


    On the way, Liu xiudao said, "general Wen, you have worked so hard."


    Wenpin said, "it''s not hard to carry out orders."


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and stopped talking to Wen pin. Wenpin is Liu Biao''s confidant general. He is in charge of Liu Biao''s personal guard and can''t get close to Liu Xiu.


    A team of people soon came to Xiangyang County Government.


    Wenpin stood outside the county government, commanding the soldiers to move quickly.


    After a while, Ma Yuan came out in a hurry. See Wen pin, Ma Yuan''s face with a smile, said with a smile: "general Wen led soldiers to the county government, what''s the big deal?"


    Wen pin''s face was cold and he waved: "take it down!"


    Two soldiers came forward and took Ma Yuan directly.


    Ma Yuan was shocked and said, "general Wen, what are you doing?"


    "I will take you by the Lord''s command." Wen pin waved his hand again and ordered: "search for me, and find all the property in the county government."


    Ma Yuan exclaimed, pale.


    It''s a trick!


    Ma Yuan''s heart was cold, and his heart sank to the bottom.


    Last night, the jewels and jades sent by Huang Xiao were still in the study for the time being. They were not sent to CAI. Wen pin is now on the hunt, and Ma Yuan has been convicted of corruption and bribery.


    Moreover, as Xiangyang County Magistrate, Ma Yuan''s buttocks were not clean and could not stand verification.


    It''s over!


    Ma Yuan''s heart, has been completely desperate.


    It is clear that this was deliberately set up by others. He got in by himself, but now he can''t explain it clearly.

 Chapter 36

    Prefecture, hall.


    Liu biaogao sat on the throne, his eyes fell on wenpin, and asked, "Zhongye, what''s the result of the search?"


    Wenpin waved: "bring it in"


    immediately, two soldiers came in carrying a big box and put it in the hall with a bang. Later, another soldier put the sandalwood box presented by Huang Xiao on Liu Biao''s desk.


    Wenpin said: "Lord, what''s in the sandalwood box is jewelry and jade. It''s the most valuable. Among the large boxes were gold, silver, copper coins, and a small amount of land deeds. "


    Liu Biao opened the sandalwood box, in a flash, stunned.


    He saw many jewels and jades for the first time. The quality depends on the quality, and the absolute degree is priceless.


    Liu Biao saw this, but also a bang heart.


    Looking at Ma Yuan''s eyes, it was even more murderous.


    Ma Yuan, trembling in his heart, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to the ground with his head, and explained: "my Lord, humble duty is unjust, humble duty is planted and framed. Please be aware of it."


    At this time, Ma Yuan was in a mess.


    If we don''t explain clearly now, he must have been severely punished or even killed by a knife. In addition, during his years as Xiangyang County Magistrate, Ma Yuan''s hands and feet were not clean. He embezzled a lot of money and offended a lot of people.


    Liu Biao saw the jewels and jades and said with gnashing teeth: "the facts are all there. As a magistrate of Xiangyang County, where do you get so much money and land titles. As the leader of Jingzhou, I have never been like this. Are you a fool when you are my official


    The words were full of anger.


    Liu Xiu mouth slightly up, Liu Biao heart with greed, Ma Yuan will die.


    Ma Yuan explained again: "Lord, the jewels and jades in the sandalwood box are not humble. They were given to me by Huang Xiao of Yicheng County. Huang Xiao has a dispute with Pang Tong. When he learns that Pang Tong is in prison, he wants to throw stones down the well, so he gives away a box of jewels and jades to let me do something about them. "


    "Oh, it seems that I admit it!" Liu Biao''s eyes were cold and said, "the gift giver is from Yicheng. If I remember it well, Ma Yin is from the Ma family in Yicheng, and you are also from the Ma family in Yicheng. Yicheng is very good, and so is your Ma family. "


    Ma Yuan was sweating and nervous.


    He knew that it was no use arguing any more. The facts were all there, and money could not explain it.


    "My Lord, I''m wrong. I plead guilty. Please give me a chance to make contributions."


    Ma Yuan banged his head on the ground and begged for mercy.


    Liu Biao brushed his sleeve and said angrily, "as the magistrate of Xiangyang County, he is in charge of a county and shoulders the life and death of the people in the county, but he is corrupt and perverts the law. If you keep people like you, you can only let the people suffer. Drag it down and kill it. "


    "No, my Lord. Please be gracious."


    Ma Yuan exclaimed, his face full of panic.


    At this moment, in Ma Yuan''s heart, he had already regretted that he should not have been involved in the affair between Ma Yin and Pang Tong.


    Ma Yuan kept struggling, but he couldn''t hold the soldiers.


    A moment later, the soldier dragged the horse down, and soon there was no sound.


    Wenpin took the soldiers and took the collected property down.


    Pang Lin knelt down on the ground, looking grateful, "the governor of the state is wise, and the grass people are very grateful. The grassroots only hope that the governor of the state can send a fair and honest official to examine his brother. Even if he dies, he will die plainly. "


    There is a smile on Liu Biao''s face.


    If we solve the problem of panglin, his reputation will not be affected, and the Pang family can''t say anything.


    Moreover, he did not personally participate in the fight between Pang family and Ma family, so he was able to stay out. Ma Yuan is a member of the Ma family. Liu Biao executed Ma Yuan, but Ma Yuan was corrupt and perverted the law. It is normal for him to be executed.


    Liu Biao thought carefully and said, "get up, nephew. Don''t kneel down. There is no candidate to fill the vacancy of Xiangyang County Magistrate. However, the trial of Pang Tong could not be delayed. "


    At this point, Liu Biao was silent.


    Liu Xiu waited carefully. At this time, he could not give any advice to Liu Biao, let alone ask who should bring Pang Tong to trial.


    Otherwise, Liu Biao would be suspicious.


    What Liu Xiu wants to do is to consider how to exonerate Pang Tong according to the candidates determined by Liu Biao.


    After a long time, Liu Biao asked, "when is the time for the trial?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "the day after tomorrow morning, Pang Tong will be put on trial."


    Liu Biao nodded slightly and said, "early the day after tomorrow, I''ll arrange for Yi Ji to bring Pang Tong up for trial." After a pause, Liu Biao asked, "Pang Lin, are you satisfied with the result?"


    Pang Lin nodded and said, "thank you, Mr. Zhou mu. The grass people only hope that my brother can get a fair and just interrogation. How to sentence him, the Pang family will not interfere."


    Liu''s face showed a smile.


    "Well, go down."


    Liu Biao waved his hand. His heart had already flown to the collected jewels and jades.


    This batch of jewels and jades are extremely exquisite and of excellent quality. Although Liu Biao doesn''t like jewelry and jade, Cai likes it. Liu Biao can give it to CAI.After Liu Xiu and Pang Lin left the prefecture, they returned directly to their residence.


    Back in the mansion, Pang Degong and Pang Shanmin met him and asked, "what''s the situation?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "it''s all right!"


    Pang Lin looked haggard, but his spirit was quite excited. "Uncle, Ma Yuan was executed. Now, the person who tried the elder brother has changed to an Iraqi. Mr. Xiu''s strategy is so ingenious. The sandalwood box is on the table of Liu Jingzhou''s case. Ma Yuan''s explanation is useless. "


    Pang Degong glared at Pang Lin and said in a deep voice, "remember, it''s Ma Yuan who was corrupt and perverted the law. Do you understand?"


    Pang Lin laughed and said, "I understand!"


    If it had not been for Liu Xiu''s design and Pang''s quick action, Ma would not have been so unlucky. But Ma Yuan was sandwiched between the Pang family and the Ma family, and even went to battle in person, which was doomed to be crushed.


    Pound''s words changed and said, "if it''s an Iraqi nationality, it''s fair to deal with it at least if it''s not partial to Shiyuan."


    Liu Xiu asked, "teacher, how is the information collected?"


    "Pound replied," I''ll get the news this evening at the latest. There is a certain distance between Xiangyang and Yicheng. It takes a certain amount of time to come and go. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "everything is ready. We are waiting for the trial the day after tomorrow."


    Pound said justly: "Xiuer, do you really intend to exonerate Shiyuan yourself?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "it''s the most appropriate thing for a disciple to come forward."


    "First, the disciple is the son of Zhou mu. Even if the disciple is a commoner and is not valued, he should not be insulted or attacked."


    "Second, I made the plan to save Shi Yuan. I am most familiar with the situation."


    "Third, if Shi Yuan killed someone and argued for him, he would certainly offend the Ma family. Brother Kong Ming has outstanding talent and unparalleled eloquence. He is a very suitable candidate, but brother Kong Ming is not a native of Jingzhou. Once he is targeted by the Ma family, he is easy to fall into crisis. "


    "So, I am the most suitable person," Liu said


    Pang Lin said, "Mr. Xiu, thank you very much."


    Pound fair color way: "since it is you to fight in person, you must be fully prepared, but also to protect themselves."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "don''t worry, teacher. I understand."

 Chapter 37

    Xiangyang City, somewhere Ma''s house.


    In the hall, Ma Qi, the head of the Ma clan, sits upright above.


    Below the hall sat Ma Yin''s father, Ma Fang, and others.


    Ma Fang''s eyes were filled with deep hatred. His face was gloomy and he said in a low voice: "patriarch, Ma Yuan was killed. Now the person who tried Pang Tong has changed to an Yi nationality. I''m afraid that the Iraqis will be partial to Pang Tong. Once so, India''s revenge, can not revenge


    March comforted: "you can rest assured that the Ma family will not sit by and watch India''s enmity."


    Ma Fang nodded, but his heart was dignified.


    March continued: "Ma Yuan was investigated and dealt with all of a sudden. It''s strange everywhere. Ma Yuan''s hands and feet are not clean, but he is not guilty to death. But the final result was that Ma Yuan was corrupt and was executed by Liu Biao on the spot. "


    "According to the information sent back, the reason why Ma Yuan was killed on the spot was that he involved valuable jewelry and jade."


    "According to the information from the county government and the prefecture government, it is said that a Yicheng man named Huang Xiao gave it to Ma Yuan last night."


    Ma Qi said in a deep voice: "Ma Yuan was arrested just after he received the money, and the evidence is conclusive."


    On closer analysis, March was surprised.


    The people of Ma family also think that Ma Yuan''s death is not simple.


    Ma Fang''s eyes turned and said: "Ma Yuan was killed, it must be the old man''s plan. It was inconvenient for him to come out in person, so he set a trap for Ma Yuan to get in, and then asked Pang Lin and Liu Xiu to go to the prefecture to beg for mercy, which led the prefecture to capture Ma Yuan. "


    "It could be so," said March


    "Father, this is the end of the matter. Even if it was designed by Mr. Pound himself, the situation could not be saved."


    In the hall, a handsome young man, over 20 years old, with a pinch of white eyebrows in his eyebrows, spoke.


    The young man''s name was Ma Liang, the fourth son of March.


    Under his knees, he had five sons, Ma BoChang, the eldest, followed by Zhong, Shu, Ji and you.


    Among them, Ma Liangma Jichang is the best.


    March said, "Ji Chang, what can you do?"


    Ma Liang replied: "the Pang family has a deep foundation in Xiangyang. Now that Ma Yuan has been killed, the Pang family has achieved its goal and will not start for the time being. In the next step, Pang''s family will certainly try Pang Tong to exonerate him. What we can do now is to wait until June 27 when Pang Tong is interrogated, and then compete with the Pang family. "


    Mafang steel teeth clenched, dissatisfied with the way: "Ma Yuan''s things, so forget it? The Ma family tried hard to put Ma Yuan''an in Xiangyang County Magistrate. We can''t let it go like this. "


    Ma Liang said in a deep voice: "Ma Yuan himself got into the quilt''s case and could not overturn the case."


    March said: "this is the end of the matter. There is no need to discuss the matter of Ma Yuan. Now, we should make every effort to prepare for the affairs of yin''er and not let Pang Tong go unpunished. "


    ¡­¡­


    Longzhong is located in the west of Xiangyang.


    This is a beautiful place with mountains on its back and water, green water and green mountains.


    The mountain is not high but elegant, the water is not deep but clear, the land is not wide but flat and open, the forest is not big but lush and prosperous.


    This is where Zhuge Liang lives.


    In the study, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu sit cross legged, playing chess.


    Black and white pieces crisscross on the chessboard, and they fight each other happily.


    With a strong smile on his face, Xu Shu said: "Kong Ming, this game of chess has been decided. It seems that you are going to lose."


    Zhuge Liang said with a light smile: "until the end, the outcome is unknown."


    "Pa!"


    Zhuge Liang picked up a sunspot and landed it on the chessboard.


    In an instant, the situation on the chessboard changed dramatically. The situation in favor of Xu Shu reversed in an instant and became unfavorable to Xu Shu. On the contrary, Zhuge Liang reversed the situation.


    After a careful analysis, Xu Shu praised: "this game of chess, you win again."


    Zhuge Liang said, "I''ve accepted."


    When Xu Shu was defeated by Zhuge Liang, he picked up the sunspot and said: "Shiyuan killed Ma Yin and was caught. The Pang family tried every means to save Shiyuan. You are half of the Pang family. How can you stay out of the business and stay in Longzhong instead of going to Xiangyang? "


    Zhuge Liang said with a light smile: "with Liu Xiu, I don''t need to."


    Xu Shu said: "I listen, there is a sour smell in the words. Kong Ming, it''s not like you. "


    Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "it''s not sour, it''s matter of fact."


    "Liu Xiu has taken over the whole matter of saving Shiyuan. Moreover, without Pang Shi, Pang Shanmin and Pang Lin are not enough to support the situation. "


    "It''s normal for Liu Xiu to accept everything."


    At this point, Zhuge Liang sighed, and a trace of helplessness appeared on his face.


    "In fact, I think it''s very difficult for Shi Yuan to kill Ma Yin."


    "There is no proper way to think about it. It''s not easy to save Shiyuan''s life without breaking the law. "Zhuge family was born in Langya Zhuge family, is a scholarly family.


    Before he came to Xiangyang, Zhuge Liang had already read a lot of poetry and was familiar with classics. Zhuge Liang was good at governing the country, marching and fighting. He had great talent and learning in mind.


    The tactics of marching and fighting can not be used to rescue Pang Tong.


    It is impossible to distort the facts to exonerate Pang Tong. However, Pang Tong was the criminal party, and Zhuge Liang could not find any reason to refute.


    In Zhuge Liang''s view, only Pang Degong came forward to solve the problem.


    At this stage, pound does not appear.


    Xu Shu said: "the problem of Shi Yuan is really very difficult. I have analyzed it carefully. If Pang Shi doesn''t show up, it''s really difficult to solve it. However, Liu Xiu always does things out of expectation. Maybe there will be a surprise. "


    Zhuge Liang said, "Yuanzhi, what do you think of Liu Xiu?"


    Xu Shu''s eyes flashed a brilliant light, saying: "what Kong Ming said, from which aspect? From the aspect of the master, or the assistant minister? "


    Zhuge Liang said, "all right!"


    Xu Shu said: "Liu Xiu and I have only had a short contact, but considering all the information, Liu Xiu is absolutely competent as an assistant minister. Liu Xiu''s poems about lotus flower, the theory of the six kingdoms, and the theory of the six Kingdoms all show his talent, and his martial arts are outstanding. It can be said that Liu Xiu is both civil and military. "


    At this point, Xu Shu''s face was more dignified.


    "With such ability and Liu Xiu''s identity, it''s difficult for him to be an assistant minister."


    "It is very likely that Liu Xiuhui will fight for the inheritance right of Jingzhou."


    Liu''s character is gentle and indecisive. Even if we inherit Jingzhou, it is difficult to keep it. "


    "The second son, Liu Qi, is frivolous and has Liu Biao''s headstrong, which is not enough to defend Jingzhou."


    "Only Liu Xiu has both literature and martial arts."


    "If Liu Xiu inherits Jingzhou, it can not be said that the situation in Jingzhou will change."


    "However, although Liu Xiu''s ability is strong, his family background is quite different. Even with the Zhenshan sword given by Liu Biao, it''s still too poor. "


    Xu Shu said, "Liu Xiu has a long way to go if he wants to make a foundation."


    Zhuge Liang suddenly asked, "Yuanzhi, would you like to help Liu Xiu?"


    Xu Shu said with a smile, "who knows what will happen in the future?"


    There was a trace of disappointment in Zhuge Liang''s eyes and he said, "Yuanzhi, don''t you think about other princes? Such as Sun Quan of Jiangdong, or uncle Liu Bei. "


    Xu Shu said, "it''s not time yet."


    "Da! Dada


    A sound of footwork came from outside the room.


    The bookboy came in in a hurry and reported: "young master, it''s reported that Ma Yuan, the magistrate of Xiangyang County, was executed by Liu Biao because he was corrupt and perverted the law."


    Zhuge Liang asked, "what are the details?"


    The boy said it carefully, and Zhuge Liang waved the boy back.


    Zhuge Liang praised: "Liu Xiu has a good speed, a good subtle move, a good decisive and ruthless means. This move can be said to have broken Ma''s right arm. "


    Xu Shu brightened his eyes and said, "the death of Ma Yuan must have been designed by Liu Xiu."


    Zhuge Liang said: "it must be so!"


    Xu Shu laughs and says, "since that''s the case, there''s something to look forward to. I''ll go into the city immediately, waiting for Yi Ji to bring in Shi Yuan. Are you going to go into the city with Kong Ming? "


    Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "no, I''ll wait for the news in Longzhong."

 Chapter 38

    On June 27, Xiangyang County Government opened its doors.


    On this day, Pang Tong will be brought to trial.


    Liu Xiu, Pang Shanmin and Pang Lin left the house early in the carriage and went to the county government in the northwest.


    Along the way, the people were discussing about Pang Tong.


    Pang Shanmin sitting in the carriage, can hear the discussion of the people on the side of the road intermittently.


    He looked worried and said: "Mr. Xiu, the people in Xiangyang City know that today is the day to interrogate Shiyuan. This must be the news spread by the Ma family. They deliberately let the people gather in the county government to increase the pressure on Yiji, so that Yiji can''t be partial to Shiyuan."


    Pang Lin also said: "more people, the situation is not easy to control."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "what should be prepared has already been prepared. You can relax. Today I will certainly save Shi Yuan''s life."


    With these words, Liu Xiu lifted the curtain of the carriage and showed a smile in his eyes.


    "If the people of the Ma family don''t incite the people secretly, I will also incite the people to watch."


    "Because it was decided that the Ma family would do it, so it didn''t do it."


    "All this, on the contrary, is the most favorable situation for the scholar yuan."


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, he is confident and calm.


    When the people hated pangtong, it was very bad for him. Once the people begin to sympathize with pangtong, the situation will change dramatically, which will do pangtong no harm.


    When Pang Shanmin and Pang Lin listened to Liu Xiu, they were still worried.


    Liu Xiujing sat and emptied his mind.


    When Pang Tong was brought up for trial, Liu Xiu was bound to face the people of the Ma family. Now he had to adjust well.


    When the carriage arrived at the county government, it was full of people inside and outside.


    These people came to watch and interrogate.


    The arrival of Liu Xiu, Pang Shanmin and Pang Tong caused a sensation.


    Many people know Liu Xiu.


    "See? Young master Xiu is here, too. "


    "Xiugongzi is the third son of zhoumu. He is very powerful. This year''s drought has resulted in a shortage of water in the fields. It was xiugongzi who invented the bobbin car that solved the problem of drought. "


    "I thought he was at least in his twenties. I didn''t expect him to be so young."


    "The people around Mr. Xiu are from the Pang family. It seems that Mr. Xiu is in the position of the Pang family."


    "Xiugongzi is a disciple of pangdegong and naturally stands in Pang''s family. But I don''t know how to deal with it. "


    One by one, people keep talking.


    Without exception, people have taken the initiative to give up a way.


    Liu Xiu thanks with a smile and takes Pang Shanmin and Pang Lin in.


    Inside the gate of the yamen, the people of the Ma family have already arrived. Ma Qi, Ma Fang and Ma Liang all stand in the Yamen. Seeing the Pang family, March''s eyes were fixed, because he didn''t see Pang Degong.


    In March''s view, on such an occasion today, pound must be present, but pound is not there.


    Ma Fang stares at Liu Xiu and his party. His eyes are cold and he says angrily: "killing people pays for their lives. Today, Pang Tong will surely die. No matter how the pangs argue, they can''t get rid of this result. "


    Liu Xiu said, "I''m Liu Xiu. I don''t know who you are


    Ma Fang said, "my husband Ma Fang is the father of Ma Yin."


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "I''ve met Mr. Liu Xiu."


    When Ma Fang heard that it was Liu Xiu, he thought that Liu Xiu had helped Pang Tong, and his anger was even higher. But Liu Xiu was Liu Biao''s son after all. He bowed his hand politely and said, "it''s very polite of you, young master Xiu. I''m going to bring Pang Tong up for trial today. I don''t know what your identity is."


    Questioning his identity means that Liu Xiu should not appear.


    Liu Xiu is Liu Biao''s son. In some cases, he represents Liu Biao.


    Liu Xiu''s face remained unchanged, and calmly replied: "today, boy, he is only a disciple of the teacher, half of Pang''s family, and even Pang Tong''s younger brother. Can the old man understand this explanation? "


    Ma Fang said contemptuously: "it''s not a good bird to work in collusion with Pang family."


    Liu Xiu said: "the old man was wrong. Pang Tong smashed Ma Yin to death by mistake. The pangs are very sorry for this. But Pang Tong''s failure does not mean that Pang''s family is not good, and Pang Tong''s character cannot be denied. It can only be said that Ma Yin is unlucky and even more damned. "


    Ma Fang glared angrily and said, "what did you say?"


    Liu Xiu laughed and said in a low voice: "look at the old man''s age, he should be about fifty. At this age, you should be able to hear and see clearly, but you can''t hear clearly. You should be too sad. Well, the old man doesn''t have to be sad. It may be a good thing to have his son dead. "


    "You, you, you..."


    Ma Fang clenched his fist and was about to hit Liu Xiu.


    Ma Qi quickly stopped him, staring at Liu Xiu and said, "is it the intention of young master Xiu to be hostile to the Ma family?"


    Liu Xiu said, "who are you?"


    Maggie replied, "my husband, Maggie, is the head of the Mahalanobis."


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "the patriarch Ma is very polite!"After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "before, the Pang family sought reconciliation, but the Ma family refused. Now to Bo Gongtang, you say that the Ma family insists on fighting against the Pang family. Can you blame the Pang family? "


    "As for the boy, there is no plan to fight against the Ma family."


    "What the boy represents now is only the position of Pang family, just seeking justice for Pang Tong."


    "Patriarch Ma saw Pang Tong smashing Ma Yin, but do you know Ma Yin?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were sharp and said in a deep voice: "it''s not easy to judge who is good and who is bad. For the sake of a horse seal, it''s not worth it for the head of the Ma clan to catch up with the horse family. As for the development of the Pang family and the Ma family, the Pang family is never afraid. "


    Ma Liang received the words and said, "young master Xiu, let''s discuss it in court."


    Liu Xiuyan sharp words, Ma Liang quickly stop.


    It''s not good for the Ma family to continue to argue. Ma Liang doesn''t plan to argue with Liu Xiu. Everything is based on trial.


    Liu Xiu smile, said: "Ma Wuchang, white eyebrow is the best. I think you are ma Liangma Jichang. Today, I see that I have extraordinary bearing. It''s fate to know brother Ji Chang. "


    Ma Liangdao: "unfortunately, the occasion of meeting is not right."


    Liu Xiu said with a light smile: "as the saying goes, if you don''t fight, you don''t know each other. Sometimes you are not a friend at first, but you can become a confidant in the end."


    Ma Liang was dumb. He didn''t expect Liu Xiuhui to say that.


    "Here comes the Iraqi!"


    Suddenly, a loud voice rang out in the lobby of the county government.


    In an instant, the powerful and majestic yamen officers came in from both sides of the hall, standing in the county yamen.


    One by one, standing solemnly with sharp eyes.


    The atmosphere of the county government is dignified.


    Yi Ji, wearing official uniform and Jinxian crown, strode to the court and sat down. He looked around at the bottom, picked up the startling wood and shot it suddenly.


    "Pa!"


    With a resounding sound, Yi Ji yelled: "silence under the hall!"


    In an instant, the noisy people at the gate of the county government office were all quiet, waiting for Pang Tong''s trial.


    Yi Ji ordered: "take the prisoner."


    Voice down, county yamen''s Yamen escorted Pang Tong into the lobby.


    Pang Tong''s face was ruddy, his eyes were bright, and he looked very good. From this point of view, Pang Tong was not abused in prison, and his life was very moist.


    Yi Ji spread out a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, glanced at it and said in a deep voice: "Pang Tong, Ma Fang sued you for killing his son Ma Yin. Do you plead guilty to this?"


    "Plead not guilty!"


    Pang Tong raised his head and spoke in a loud voice.


    Liu Xiu stood at the door and did not interfere for the time being. He had expected this scene.


    Pang Tong''s answer was also explained in advance.


    As soon as Ma Fang heard Pang Tong''s words, he rushed up and said sadly, "please make the decision for the dog. When the dog first came to Xiangyang, he suffered from man-made disasters. He died miserably. Pang Tong will not die, and my son will not die. "


    Yi Ji a clap startles a hall wood, shout a way: "this official interrogates, will return you a justice, quiet."


    Ma Fang said thanks and stood aside.


    Yi Ji''s eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring at Pang Tong, and said word by word: "Pang Tong, you are a murderer, the evidence is clear, do you want to deny it?"


    Pang Tong replied, "tell me, the sinner is not to deny, but he just doesn''t want to be wronged."

 Chapter 39

    Yi Ji cheered: "kill a person, the evidence is solid, what''s wrong?"


    In the tone, with a trace of severity.


    In front of countless people in the hall, Pang Tong directly denied that Yi Ji''s face couldn''t hang. If we don''t ask questions, the people in the hall will make trouble, which will not only affect the resolution of the case, but also affect the reputation of the Iraqi people.


    Pang Tong was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "I will tell you that it''s true that a sinner killed Ma Yin, but he didn''t kill him intentionally, he just killed him by mistake. At that time, the culprit wandered in the city and was provoked and insulted by Ma Yin. Then, after the conflict with Ma Yin. "


    "It''s really Ma Yin who bullies people so much that the culprit picks up the stone and smashes it at Ma Yin."


    "I just wanted to teach Ma Yin a lesson, but I didn''t expect to hit the temple. What''s more, it will kill Ma Yin. "


    "All this is not the original intention of the sinner, so the sinner does not admit to intentional killing."


    Pang Tong''s face was calm and his speech was clear.


    He is ordinary in appearance, quick in mind and sharp in mouth.


    Pang Yiji did not look surprised after hearing the statement. Before coming to the interrogation, he knew that Pang''s family would not fight back when they saw Pang Tong killed. At present, Pang Tong''s statement is reasonable without any fabrication.


    Ma Fang''s eyes were enchanted with the cold light of a poisonous snake.


    What Pang Tong said was the truth. At that time, it was Ma Yin who satirized Pang Tong first and Ma Yin who provoked him first.


    Ma Liang stood in the crowd, his eyes fell on Liu Xiu, with a trace of caution in his eyes. In Ma Liang''s mind, since Liu Xiu is here, there must be a backhand. It''s impossible to sit back and ignore him.


    It is impossible for Pang Tong to get rid of the crime of murder.


    At this time, the eyes of the people all fell on Yi Ji.


    Everything depends on the trial of Yi Ji.


    Yi Ji patted the startled wood and said: "Ma Yin is unscrupulous and has a fault. It was originally a quarrel, but Pang Tong committed a murder with a stone. This is a wrong thing to do. Pang Tong, I sympathize with you, but the law is not binding. Murder pays for life, debt pays for money. You will not be forgiven for killing Ma Yin. "


    "Wait a minute, my Lord!"


    Liu Xiu took a step forward.


    If the result of the Iraqi sentence is not to die, Liu Xiu will not intervene.


    Today, the meaning of Yi Ji is still to kill Pang Tong, so Liu Xiu must intervene.


    Everything is back to the original plan.


    Yi Ji clapped the startling wood and said, "Liu Xiu, this is the court. Even if you are the son of Zhou mu, you can''t break into the court without permission. If you don''t have a statement, I will surely sentence you to the crime of colliding with the court. "


    Liu Xiu bowed his hand and said, "I''m not scorning the court, but I''m Pang Tong''s lawyer. Pang Tong''s case will be dealt with by me. "


    Yi Ji nodded slightly and said, "Pang Tong''s murder is proven. What do you have to say?"


    For Liu Xiu''s intrusion, Yi Ji did not have a trace of anger.


    Yi Ji and Pang Degong are good friends, and they are also the elders of Pang Tong. From a personal point of view, he hoped Pang Tong would not die. Moreover, Yi Ji also thinks highly of Liu Xiu, and thinks that Liu Xiu can be excellent only if he has both literature and martial arts.


    Pang Tong''s life and death are on the line. Yi Ji also has a good look at how Liu Xiu can excuse Pang Tong.


    This is a test of Liu Xiu''s ability.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "I have a piece of material evidence. Please read it."


    With these words, Liu Xiu took out a roll of cloth from his sleeve and held it in his hand. Immediately, a yamen servant came up to take it over, and then presented it to Yi Ji.


    This scene made Ma Fang''s heart tense.


    In the eyes of March and Ma Liang, there was also a trace of worry.


    What Liu Xiu did made them confused.


    What will Liu Xiu do?


    Is there any material evidence at the scene of Pang Tong''s fight with Ma Yin?


    Yi Ji spread out the cloth and saw the contents on it. His eyes suddenly coagulated and he said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu, what do you want to explain when you present this evidence?"


    At this time, Yi Ji was also a little confused.


    It seems that Liu Xiu''s idea has been thoroughly understood, but when he thinks about it carefully, it doesn''t work.


    He can''t understand what Liu Xiu means for the moment.


    Liu Xiu replied: "my Lord, I submit the above book. The question I want to explain is very simple. Before Ma Yin came to Xiangyang, he had a lot of bad deeds and should be executed. Ma Yin died in Pang Tong''s hands. He deserved his death. "


    WOW!


    Outside the hall, the people were in an uproar.


    Countless people are talking to each other.


    No one expected that Liu Xiu''s first words were so sharp.


    Ma Fang trembled with anger and said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, you bastard, how dare you slander my son like this."


    "No noise in the court."


    Yi Ji startled Tang mu, and the people immediately calmed down. Immediately, Yi Ji looked at Ma Fang and said in a deep voice, "you can''t speak without my official''s orders. To refute, wait for Liu Xiu to finish. "


    "No!"Ma Fang looked unwilling and nodded.


    Yi Ji said: "just relying on some of the people''s fingerprints, it shows that Ma Yin is worthy of death, and it is difficult to convince people. I can say that the evidence mentioned in the document and the fingerprints of the witness are all forged. "


    Liu Xiu said, "I admire your wisdom."


    "It is really unconvincing to conclude that Ma Yin is a ferocious man just by relying on a piece of paper."


    "Then, let''s have witnesses."


    Liu Xiu''s face was serious. He arched his hands and said, "your honor, please allow me to take the witness to the court."


    Yi Ji says: "accurate!"


    Liu Xiu turned and nodded. Not long after, two sad looking people came in.


    One is an old man, the other is a young man.


    Liu xiupai pointed to them and said, "my Lord, these two are the most typical people I have chosen. The old man''s name is song Ping''an, and the young man''s name is Hu bin. They are all local people in Yicheng. "


    Yi Ji said in a deep voice: "if you two have any grievances, try your best. I''ll make the decision for you."


    Song Ping''an looked pathetic and said: "the little old man''s name is song Ping''an. He lives in the north of Yicheng and sells tofu. If you ask a little bit, you''ll know the shop in the little old man''s house. "


    "The little old man''s son died early, and only one daughter was with him and his wife."


    "My daughter is very virtuous and capable."


    "Every morning, before dawn, she helps to make tofu. After the tofu comes out of the pot, she helps to sell tofu."


    Song Ping''an''s face became more and more sorrowful. He knelt down with a plop and sobbed: "later one morning, Ma Yin came to buy tofu brain and met a little girl. He repeatedly despised the little girl, but in the end, he even threatened to export, saying that if the little girl didn''t follow him, he would deal with the little old family. "


    "In order to avoid being frivolous and even less threatened, the little girl cut her face with a knife."


    "Since then, Ma Yin has not come to harass again."


    Song Ping''an kowtowed his head to the ground and said, "my little girl is smart and clever. What evil has she done? She has met such a beast as Ma Yin. I heard that Ma Yin is dead. Well done, well done. "


    Yi Ji''s brow, a little more dignified.


    In my heart, I admire song Ping''an''s daughter for her strong temperament.


    Ma Qi and Ma Liang look at each other, with a dignified look on their face and a dark heart. Liu Xiu turns over Ma Yin''s background, which is very bad.


    Ma Liang worried, quickly stepped forward, said: "your honor, song Ping''an''s words may not be credible."


    Yi Ji waved and said, "step back."


    Seeing this, Ma Liang had to step back and stand in the crowd quietly waiting for the trial.


    People outside the hall are talking about it.


    Originally, the people sympathized with Ma Yin, but now it seems that this is not the case.


    Yi Ji continued: "if you listen to both, you will be clear; if you listen to one side, you will be dark. Whether it is a slander or a fact, I will naturally decide after my interrogation. Now, let Hubin say. "


    Ma Liang sighs that Liu Xiu''s move is too cruel. It can be said that it is a drastic move.


    If this move goes on, the people will definitely support Pang Tong and can no longer support Ma Yin.

 Chapter 40

    Hu bin is a scholar with Confucian clothes and elegant temperament.


    Facing the Yi nationality, Hu bin is neither humble nor arrogant, bowing his hand and saying: "I''m from Yicheng. In the past, when I was in Yicheng, I studied with Ma Yin at the gate of Zeng Qiong and Zeng Laofu. "


    When this was said, the people all nodded.


    Hu bin made it clear where he came from and who he studied under, which means it can be verified.


    Under such circumstances, the people will believe Hu Bin''s words.


    "When Ma Yin was studying under Zeng''s school, he was very angry and behaved badly. He not only didn''t attend classes, but also played with his fellow teachers."


    "Because Ma Yin came from the Ma family in Yicheng, we dare not offend him."


    "Once in zuixianlou, Yicheng, I sang poems and wrote Fu with my brothers. After Ma Yin wrote a poem, I also wrote a poem at will. "


    "Unfortunately, my poem just suppresses Ma Yin and makes Ma Yin lose face."


    At this point, Hubin''s eyes showed indignation.


    Hubin clenched his fists, and his face showed a trace of ferocity and anger.


    "When he was in zuixianlou, Ma Yin was smiling and didn''t say anything."


    "After coming down, they took people to fight in the next meal."


    "After a heavy beating, I broke a rib and seriously injured my internal organs. But after half a year''s rest at home, he recovered. "


    "But I never went to school again."


    Hu Bin''s eyes were full of joy, and he said excitedly: "I''m happy to learn that Ma Yin was killed. Good death, long time ago. It''s a shame that Ma Yin can''t die. "


    Yi Ji''s heart was heavy and he looked indignant.


    Unexpectedly, Ma Yin was such a brute.


    The people outside the hall were even more agitated and talked about it.


    "I didn''t expect that Ma Yin was so cruel. He not only despised women, but also bullied his classmates. Such a person, too hateful


    "In this way, we can''t blame Pang Tong. It''s Ma Yin''s responsibility."


    "Ma Yin is damned. He has harmed the people in Yicheng. Now he is harming the people in Xiangyang. Fortunately, he was killed by Pang Tong. It''s a pity that Pang Ma met with Tong


    The people are talking about it, and their voices are getting louder and louder.


    March and Ma Liang are standing in the crowd, their hearts are cold.


    Yi Ji was startled and said, "be quiet!"


    All of a sudden, the people were quiet again, quietly watching the Yi Ji interrogation.


    Mafang stands uneasy and has a complicated mood. Mafang knows exactly what his son is. Ma Fang did not expect that Liu Xiu would turn over Ma Yin''s old account.


    For a moment, the way he looked at Liu Xiu, song Ping''an and Hu bin was even worse.


    Liu Xiu said: "my Lord, no matter song Ping''an, Hu bin, or every slave on the cloth, he was bullied by Ma Yin. In order to prove that Ma Yin committed crimes, these people took great risks. If something goes wrong, it must be the Ma family. "


    Ma Yin heard the speech, almost a mouthful of old blood.


    He had just had an idea, but he didn''t expect Liu Xiu to come up with such a sentence. In other words, the Ma family must protect song Ping''an, Hu bin and others well, otherwise the Ma family will not be able to wash away if they jump into the Yellow River.


    After pondering for a moment, Yi Ji said, "Ma Yin has many bad deeds, but it was Pang Tong who killed people after all."


    Liu Xiu said: "my Lord, it is Pang Tong who killed Ma Yin. But according to Ma Yin''s character, he was cruel, bullied the weak and despised women. Even without Pang Tong, song Tong and Zhou Tong would have killed him. "


    "I''d like to invite the victims out of Yicheng County to prove that Ma Yin''s death is worthy of him."


    "Pang Tong is guilty of murder."


    Liu Xiu changed his words and asked, "do you know Pang Tong?"


    Yi Ji said: "I don''t know!"


    In fact, Yi Ji naturally knew Pang Tong''s temperament, but he could not speak for him in court.


    Liu Xiu looked at the people behind him and said, "who is familiar with Pang Tong?"


    "I know it!"


    Loud voice, when it comes out.


    The speaker was Xu Shu, who also came to see Liu Xiu rescue Pang Tong. Seeing that Liu Xiu had turned over the old account of Ma Yin, Xu Shu praised him. He didn''t think of this wonderful move.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "brother Yuanzhi, you are a friend of Pang Tong when you study under the teacher''s door. It''s inappropriate for you to comment on Pang Tong''s conduct. He will be partial. "


    "No one knows Pang Tong?"


    Liu Xiu turned his eyes and looked at the others.


    Xu Shu''s eyes flashed and sighed that Liu Xiu was sensitive. When Xu Shu knew Pang Tong, once he was familiar with the relationship between Pang Tong and Xu Shu, he would think that Xu Shu spoke for Pang Tong.


    Liu Xiu''s direct refusal, on the contrary, highlights Liu Xiu''s justice.


    "I''m a young man in Lianxiang building. Pang Tong often comes to Lianxiang building to drink, so I know him."At this time, a young man with ordinary clothes and plain appearance came forward.


    Liu Xiu nodded, waved his hand and said, "how about Pang Tong?"


    The young man said, "Pang Tong''s character is very strange."


    As soon as the words came out, some of the people outside the hall laughed and some sighed. People don''t know Pang Tong''s life and death. Will he die if he says a good word? I didn''t expect that the young man would stab Pang Tong.


    Ma Liang''s eyes are even more worried. He seems to be slandering Pang Tong, but Ma Liang doesn''t believe in such things, otherwise Liu Xiu can''t let the youth speak.


    At this point, it''s completely under Liu Xiu''s control.


    Ma Fang''s eyes, but excited. His son committed many crimes, but it was his son after all. Pang Tong killed his son. No matter what, he hoped Pang Tong would be punished.


    Liu Xiu saw Ma Fang''s look in his eyes and sneered in his heart.


    "Apart from his eccentric personality, Pang Tong has something else to say."


    Liu Xiu has a pleasant face and no dissatisfaction.


    The young man said, "Pang Tong has a strange personality. The strange thing is that if you don''t provoke him, everyone will be at peace. But you take the initiative to provoke, it''s very troublesome. "


    "I once heard Pang Tong say a mantra that he doesn''t cause trouble, but it doesn''t mean he''s afraid of it."


    "When I was in lianxianglou for six years, I saw two conflicts between Pang Tong and people."


    "The first conflict was when a guest got drunk and yelled at Pang Tong, saying that Pang Tong was ugly and shouldn''t have come out to drink. Then Pang Tong fought back."


    "The second time, because a guest came to Pang Tong to drink and scold for no reason. At that time, Pang Tong also fought with the guests. "


    "The young man said:" the rest of the time, Pang Tong is a person sitting quietly, never make trouble


    Liu Xiu answered and said with a smile, "my Lord, the words of youth are not enough to explain anything. But at least it proves that Pang Tong is not a ferocious person, and he is not a person who neglects people''s lives. "


    "Since Pang Tong is not a ferocious man, what is his motive for killing people?"


    "Throw a stone, just to get revenge."


    Liu Xiu sighed and said, "the death of Ma Yin is not due to Pang Tong, but to Ma Yin''s character."


    "A person who makes trouble, despises women and bullies his classmates will cause trouble wherever he goes."


    "Ma Yin has no inkling in his mind, and Pang Tong has a talent to help the world. He is a rare talent. Jingzhou was killed for the sake of the interests of Jingzhou. "


    "Ma Yin is poor and vicious. He harms the people. Pang Tong keeps a low profile and never causes trouble. How can the people of Jingzhou be convinced that they want to kill a good man who doesn''t make trouble for a vicious man? "


    "To kill Pang Tong is painful for the relatives, but quick for the enemies."


    Liu Xiu''s tone became more and more intense.


    The mood of the people outside was gradually aroused.


    All the people looked excited and agreed with Liu Xiu''s words.


    "My Lord, it''s easier to kill than to be a man. Leaving Pang Tong, let him reform, let Pang Tong give full play to his talents, and bring benefits to Jingzhou and the common people, which can''t be replaced by many horse seals. "


    Liu Xiu fell down on his knees with a plop and said, "please forgive Pang Tong for his life."


    "Please forgive Pang Tong for his life."


    When Pang Lin and Pang Shanmin heard the speech, they also went down to their knees and asked loudly.

 Chapter 41

    "I beg your grace beyond the law!"


    "I beg your grace beyond the law!"


    In the crowd, some people were incited by Liu Xiu. They knelt down like jade pillars and asked loudly.


    If there are only one or two people, Liu Xiu''s incitement is likely to be of no help. When the number of people increases and the feelings of the masses surge, it is easy to make people hot headed and the people are easily incited.


    "We Xiangyang people didn''t do anything wrong. Why should we die? Pang Tong killed the people who did harm to the people. Even if Pang Tong was guilty, he would not die. "


    "Please forgive me outside the law!"


    "Please forgive me outside the law!"


    People''s emotions were aroused.


    "Ma Yin has done harm to Yicheng people. Coming to Xiangyang will certainly do harm to Xiangyang people. Ma Yin is dead. Well done. "


    "We Xiangyang people must support Pang Tong."


    "Xiangyang people don''t support Xiangyang people. Do they support Yicheng people?"


    Gradually, the voice of the people rises to the level of Xiangyang and Yicheng. Naturally, the people of Xiangyang have to support Xiangyang people.


    Wave by wave, the people knelt down and begged for mercy.


    Xu Shu squatted in the crowd, his head watching from left to right, saw pieces of people kneeling down to plead, knew Pang Tong could not die. In this case, Yi Ji also sentenced Pang Tong to death, the consequences are unimaginable, will definitely cause the people mutiny.


    "This move kidnaps the common people and uses them as weapons. It''s very powerful. Liu Xiu is such a good son. "


    In Xu Shu''s heart, he was even more impressed.


    It was quite difficult to get rid of Pang Tong''s crime, but it was easy to solve under Liu Xiu''s plan.


    Mafang stood in the lobby, pale and lost.


    The cry of the people was like a devil''s voice. He knew that Pang Tong could not be executed this time.


    Ma Liang stood beside the crowd and looked at Liu Xiu kneeling on the ground. He felt powerless. He also carefully considered pangtong''s situation. If he was on pangtong''s side, how could he rescue him.


    However, Ma Liang couldn''t think of a solution.


    But I didn''t expect that Liu Xiu''s solution would be so simple and direct.


    "Lost!"


    "It''s really a failure!"


    Convinced, Ma Liang looked at Ma Qi and said in a low voice, "father, after returning to Yicheng, we will deal with a number of moths from Ma''s family immediately. If we don''t make an example, there will be more people in the family. "


    March nodded slightly, with the same thought.


    The incident of Ma Yin had a great influence on the Ma family.


    Ma Liang said in a low voice: "in addition, the people who deal with it must make it public and pour out public indignation. After Ma Yin, Ma''s reputation in Yicheng will be affected. Only by being frank and pushing out some of them can we regain the prestige of the Ma family. "


    "Silence in the hall!"


    Just listen to the sound of a PA, startled wood ring out, the voice of the people all quiet down.


    Everybody, stop talking.


    Yi Ji''s eyes twinkled, staring at Liu Xiu, and his heart was full of admiration.


    Liu Xiu''s solution is simple but practical.


    Yi Ji said, "get up!"


    Liu Xiu took the lead in getting up, and then the people outside the hall got up one after another.


    Yi Ji''s eyes fell on Pang Tong and said in a loud voice: "Pang Tong killed Ma Yin. After the trial, the truth came out. Now, I pronounce the result of the trial. "


    Countless eyes fell on Yi Ji.


    Life and death are between the thoughts of Yi nationality.


    Yi Ji looked around at the people in the hall, took a deep breath, and said in a loud voice: "in the case of Pang Tong''s murder, I have decided that Pang Tong will be fined 100 gold in three days. He was released on the spot. "


    Boom!


    Ma Fang''s mind was blank, and he collapsed on the ground.


    When Liu Xiu saw Ma Fang''s face, he sneered in his heart. If it wasn''t for the Ma family, it would be more than that.


    All this is the Ma family''s own fault.


    Liu Xiumian with a smile, convinced of the way: "adult wise!"


    "My Lord is wise!"


    Pang Shanmin and Pang Lin hand in hand.


    "My Lord is wise!"


    "My Lord is wise!"


    Countless people, competing to shout.


    Yi Ji, who was sitting right above, also showed a smile on his face.


    As an official, there is no one who doesn''t like the praise of the people, and Yi nationality is no exception.


    "Back out!"


    Yi Ji was shocked and left without staying.


    Ma Qi and Ma Liang smell speech, quickly forward with Ma Fang left. Rao is so. When the three left, they were also criticized by the people.


    Liu Xiu went to Pang Tong and said, "Congratulations, Shiyuan."


    Pang Tong said, "Mr. Xiu, it''s hard for you."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "this is what I should do. The teacher is still waiting at home. Let''s go. Let''s go back to the house."


    The party walked outside the county government office, thanking the people as they walked.After getting on the carriage, he left quickly.


    ¡­¡­


    Pangfu residence, study.


    Pang Degong, Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan sat together.


    Huang Chengyan took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Yi judge yuan, it''s been some time. I don''t know what the situation is now? Takong, it''s about Shiyuan''s life. Don''t you really go and have a look? If Ji Xu can''t save Shi Yuan''s life and you''re not there, it''s going to be very bad. "


    Pound Fair: "I believe Ji Xu can succeed."


    "I don''t think Ji Xu''s plan is likely to have too big a problem," Sima Hui said


    Huang Chengyan changed his words and said, "the Ma family in Yicheng is not reconciled. Hum, the Ma family really thinks it''s amazing. Duke De, the pangs and the Huangs should make a move to let the Ma family know how powerful they are. "


    Pound said: "I appreciate your kindness. In the present situation, we should not act rashly. "


    Huang Chengyan thought rotation, way: "you mean, worry about Zhou Mu there?"


    "Yes, don''t act rashly."


    Pound nodded and his eyes flashed.


    The Pang family is different from the Cai family. The Cai family became an official in Liu Biao''s eyes. Pang''s family is a thorn in Liu Biao''s eyes because they are not used by Liu Biao.


    Liu Biao couldn''t and didn''t dare to deal with Pang family when Pang Degong was there.


    "Good news, sir. The gentleman was released on the spot. They are on their way back. "


    Pang Fu''s joyful voice sounded outside the study.


    Pound stood up without saying a word and went straight out of the study.


    Sima Hui laughed and followed.


    Seeing this, Huang Chengyan shook his head and said, "this old man said he didn''t worry about Pang Tong. As soon as he heard the news, he would go out without saying a word. It''s true." Huang Chengyan went out with him.


    The three came to the front hall and waited.


    It wasn''t long. A sound of footwork came from outside the hall.


    Soon, Liu Xiu, Pang Tong, Pang Shanmin and Pang Lin entered the hall.


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "I''m so lucky that I didn''t disobey my orders. Brother yuan has brought me back. However, the teacher should send 100 gold to Xiangyang County Government within three days. "


    Pound is fair: "good, good, good, just come back."


    With three good words in a row, pound was very happy.


    Immediately, Pang De Gong looked at Pang Fu and said, "prepare a hundred gold coins and send them to the county government immediately. At the same time, give some money to reward the officers of the county government. "


    "No!"


    Pang Fu nodded and went down to deal with it.


    Pound said solemnly, "Xiu''er, thanks to you this time."


    Liu xiudao: "what the teacher said is not only Shiyuan''s elder brother, but also his elder brother. It''s my duty to get rid of brother Shiyuan. "


    Sima Hui said, "well, thank you again. It''s a great joy that Shiyuan can come back. Let your cook prepare delicious food and wine. That''s the right thing to do. "


    "Yes, yes!"


    With a smile, Mr. pound immediately ordered people to prepare good food and wine to celebrate.

 Chapter 42

    Prefecture, study.


    Liu Biao sits opposite to Yi Ji, who is in the process of putting Pang Tong on trial.


    Finally, Yi Ji said: "in view of the people''s request, Yi Ji Ma Yin''s humble position only punished 100 gold. In fact, the reason for this punishment is that Pang Tong is a member of the Pang family and the son of Pang Ji. If the punishment is too heavy, it will affect the reputation of the Lord. "


    Liu Biao said: "it''s good to punish but not punish. It not only beat Pang Tong, but also made it impossible for outsiders to criticize him."


    Yi Ji sighed: "my Lord didn''t go to the scene. I don''t know what happened at that time. In the face of countless people, as well as Ma Fang, xiugongzi maneuvered freely to ease Pang Tong''s crisis. It''s true that you have such ability. At that moment, I felt as if I saw the high spirited appearance of my lord when he first entered Jingzhou. "


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Liu Biao couldn''t help laughing and his face was filled with complacency.


    What Yi Ji said made him feel right.


    Praise his son, also praise him, this is very good.


    Liu Biao waved his hand and said modestly, "Uncle Ji, you think too much of Xiuer. I can''t say that he made a mistake. He doesn''t deserve such praise. "


    Yi Ji said: "don''t you believe in the eyesight of humble position?"


    Liu Biao was even more happy and said, "I''ve known Ji Bo for decades. Naturally, I believe you. Xiuer handled the matter fairly well. At least, pound didn''t show up, otherwise it would be really hard to clean up. "


    Once things get big, Liu Biao will also have a headache.


    The Pang family in Xiangyang looks low-key, but it is not easy to provoke.


    Ma''s family in Yicheng, far away from Xiangyang, is also a dragon crossing the river.


    Once the two families really fight, it will have an impact on the stability of Jingzhou. Liu Xiuhua solved pangtong''s crisis, which made the Ma family have to step back. This is the best ending.


    ¡­¡­


    Kuai family, study.


    Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue sit opposite each other.


    Kuai Liang''s face was a little pale. He sat casually, his eyes were shining, and he said slowly, "how do you feel about the affair of Pang Tong, who was promoted by Yi Ji?"


    In the past year, Kuai Liang helped Liu Biao to get a foothold in Jingzhou. Soon after that, he became seriously ill.


    After that, Kuai Liang faded out of the officialdom and recuperated at home. All the people who appeared outside were Kuai Yue.


    In the case of the Kuai family, Kuai Yue was in charge of the outside and Kuai Liang was in charge of the inside.


    Kuai Yue pondered carefully and said: "brother, from the ability Liu Xiu showed, Liu Xiu is not only excellent in martial arts, but also resourceful."


    "In the eyes of ordinary people, Ma was taken for embezzlement and bending the law, but this is obviously Liu Xiu''s means."


    "Kill Ma Yuan, and the Ma family will lose one arm."


    "Then, with the help of Ma Yin''s personality, he made the situation move at one stroke, and made more use of public opinion, so that Yi Ji would no longer punish Pang Tong severely. Such a means is quite amazing. "


    Kuai Yue had admiration in his eyes and said, "this son can''t be underestimated."


    Kuai Liang coughed twice, and there was a trace of pain on his face. After a long time, he continued: "can you do Liu Xiu so well without using family resources?"


    Kuai Yue shook his head and said, "hard!"


    Kuai Liang said: "therefore, the attitude towards Liu Xiu can be appropriately tilted by the Kuai family."


    With these words, Kuai Yue''s face changed slightly.


    Kuai Yue said, "brother, what do you mean?"


    Kuai Liang said in a deep voice: "Liu Qi is too weak, not the master of Ming Dynasty. Liu Cong was frivolous and inappropriate. Because Liu Cong married a woman from the Cai family, the Cai family would help him. "


    "These two people are not the future masters of Jingzhou."


    "Even if one of the two can be on the top temporarily, it won''t be long. If Liu Qi and Liu Cong were in charge of Jingzhou, the Kuai family would have to make another plan. But with Liu Xiu''s birth, the situation is different. "


    "If Liu Xiu can rise up, Jingzhou will no longer be what it used to be."


    Kuai Liang''s pale face was flushed, and his eyes were shining. He said: "in the past, he helped Liu Biao to enter Jingzhou because Liu Biao really had talent. But his talent can only be preserved, and it is difficult to last in troubled times. "


    Kuai Yue has understood the meaning of the words.


    Kuai Yue said solemnly, "brother, do you want to support xiugongzi?"


    Kuai Liang laughed and said, "it''s too early to support him. I mean, if we can, we can incline to him a little and express the goodwill of the Kuai family. Liu Xiu was born out of the common people, and there was a great weakness in the heaven. If his situation can be changed, it is not impossible for the Kuai family to support him in the future. "


    After hearing this, Kuai Yue said, "I understand what elder brother means. I will follow this policy."


    With a smile, Kuai Liang said, "the Cai family is tied to Liu Cong, thinking that Liu Cong is easy to control. But I don''t know that if there is no skin, Mao will be attached, and Liu Cong can''t control Jingzhou, what''s the future of the Cai family? "


    At this point, Kuai Liang said: "the existence of Liu Xiu may be an opportunity for the Kuai family to go up to a new level."


    Kuai Liang sees Liu Xiu''s performance in his eyes.All kinds of signs show that Liu Xiu has the potential to make a success.


    Kuai Yue said, "don''t worry, elder brother. I understand everything. What elder brother should do is to cultivate his body. As long as the elder brother is healthy, everything will be fine. "


    Kuai Liang covered his chest and said slowly, "don''t worry, you can''t die."


    ¡­¡­


    Zhou Mu Fu, Liu Cong''s yard.


    Cai, Cai Mao and Liu Cong sat together, but their faces were dignified.


    Liu Cong''s face was ferocious, his eyes were shining with anger, and he said: "mother, uncle, Liu Xiu, that little bastard is in the limelight again. This time, Liu Xiu rescued Pang Tong. It turned out that he was only a disciple of the Pang family. Now he is a benefactor of the Pang family. He can''t let go any more. "


    Cai Mao sighed: "this time, Liu Xiu is really brilliant."


    Liu Cong clenched his fist.


    Cai Shi said: "my husband is very appreciative of Liu Xiu. I can''t speak ill of Liu Xiu any more, otherwise it will easily arouse the suspicion of my husband. It''s not easy to deal with Liu Xiu now. "


    Liu Cong''s eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth: "kill him, if you can''t, kill him. How dare a little boy from the common people want to touch Jingzhou? He is a fool


    "How to kill?" Cai Mao asked


    Liu Cong replied: "there are Rangers everywhere in Jingzhou. As long as you have money, are you afraid that no one will do it?"


    Cai Mao said: "Mr. Cong, once you kill someone, the consequences will be very serious."


    Liu Cong gritted his teeth and said, "he''s dead. Who can know? Besides, who will speak for a dead man. I don''t believe Pang family will come out for him after losing his life. "


    Cai Mao''s eyes fell on CAI.


    Cai Shi was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "I think Cong er''s suggestion is feasible."


    Cai Mao sighed, "I''ll look for people and opportunities to assassinate Liu Xiu."


    So far, we can only take such a bad policy.


    Cai Mao agreed, but he was reluctant. For Liu Cong, the Cai family has paid a lot. Now we have to pay regardless of the cost, some have gone too far.


    ¡­¡­


    Longzhong, Zhuge Liang''s residence.


    In the study, Zhuge Liang is playing chess with himself.


    He plays chess by himself, entertaining himself. The pieces on the chessboard are distributed vertically and horizontally, seemingly disorderly, but they go their own way.


    Zhuge Liang stared at the board and murmured, "how can we win this game? Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, how will you break the game? It''s not easy to save Shi Yuan. "


    "Young master, we have news from Xiangyang."


    Outside the study, the schoolboy talks.


    Zhuge Liang looked back and asked, "what''s the situation?"


    The boy said, "Pang Tong is free from the crime."


    Pop!


    As soon as Zhuge Liang''s hand was loosened, a piece of chess in his hand suddenly fell on the chessboard, and he said, "come in and talk about the situation at that time in detail."


    The book boy pushed open the door and entered. He stood beside Zhuge and reported the news of Xiangyang in detail.


    After listening carefully, Zhuge Liang was full of energy in his eyes, and said: "wonderful chess, wonderful chess, the means of breaking chess can be called exquisite. It''s just that it''s hard to be elegant by such means. "


    With a wave of his hand, the bookboy stepped down respectfully.


    Zhuge Liang sat still for a long time and said, "the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. You got Zhenshan sword. Now you save Pang Tong and get the kindness of Pang family. I''m afraid Mr. Cong will not give up. I''d like to see, how do you get through the next crisis? "


    Zhuge Liang''s mouth is full of smile.


    Although Zhuge Liang was hidden in Longzhong, he knew everything about the outside world like the back of his hand.

 Chapter 43

    A rainstorm down, hot summer, a little bit more cool.


    The air in the whole lumen mountain is also fresh.


    Early in the morning, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying went to the mountain to pick mushrooms. In June, after a heavy rain, a lot of wild mushrooms will come out in the mountains. The meat is delicious, delicate and tender.


    This is the time to eat mushrooms.


    Liu Xiu has a basket on his back, and Huang Yueying has an iron pick in his hand.


    Two people into the mountain, talking and laughing, gradually into the depths of the forest.


    Huang Yueying is bouncing and waving her iron pick. She is in high spirits. She doesn''t look dull at home at all. She is more lively and cheerful.


    "Come on, come on, here''s a mushroom."


    Under an old tree, leaves piled up, emitting a smell of rotten leaves.


    A mushroom with colorful flowers appeared and quietly emerged.


    Excited, Huang Yueying carefully waved her pick to take out the mushrooms on the ground.


    Liu Xiu came up, looked at it, shook his head and said, "this is a poisonous mushroom. You see, it''s shaped like an umbrella. It''s bright red on it. There are white spots on it. It''s poisonous."


    "If I don''t take it, I will."


    Huang Yueying looked disappointed and went on.


    Liu Xiu carries a basket on his back, with a smile on his face. It''s fine after the rain, so it''s good to go out for a walk.


    "Again, here are mushrooms."


    Huang Yueying''s excited voice came from the front again.


    When Liu Xiu went up, Huang Yueying had dug out the mushroom and handed it to Liu Xiu, looking forward to it. Seeing Liu Xiu''s silence, Huang Yueying beat a drum in her heart and asked, "is this poisonous again?"


    The whole body of this mushroom is white, the cap is umbrella shaped, flat and smooth.


    Liu Xiu is even more familiar with the mushroom in this shape.


    In later generations, this mushroom is called "lethal white poison umbrella". It is extremely toxic and is a well-known existence among poisonous mushrooms.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Yueying, this time, you are right."


    "Ah, I dug it right. Is this edible? "


    Huang Yueying''s eyes were full of excitement.


    Liu Xiu chuckled and said, "I mean, you''re right to say it''s poisonous."


    Huang Yueying withered and muttered: "it''s poisonous again. The mushrooms in the mountain forest are poisonous everywhere. Isn''t there any non-toxic? How do you know which mushrooms are poisonous and which ones are not? "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "if you read more, you will understand."


    Huang Yueying rolled her eyes and waved her pick. She said impatiently, "let''s go, let''s go!"


    They continued to walk along the mountain road. The more they went in, the denser the woods were.


    "Let''s see if this mushroom can be eaten."


    With sharp eyes, Huang Yueying saw the mushroom growing under the tree. This time, she lost her excitement and asked Liu Xiu to confirm.


    Two times in a row have encountered poisonous mushrooms, Huang Yueying is also a bit uncertain.


    Liu Xiu stepped forward and saw the mushroom on the ground.


    "Can you eat it?" said Huang Yueying


    Not immediately denied, Huang Yueying''s heart, and gave birth to a glimmer of hope.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "this is umbrella mushroom. It tastes delicious and can be eaten."


    "Wow, finally."


    Excited, Huang Yueying waved her pick and carefully dug out some umbrellas on the ground. Then she put them in the basket on Liu Xiu''s back.


    With the achievements, Huang Yueying is full of motivation.


    When they entered the mountain forest, they met more and more umbrella mushrooms.


    In the middle of the day, when the sun was high, they had dug a lot of umbrella mushrooms.


    Liu xiudao: "it''s almost noon. It''s getting muggy in the mountains. Let''s go back."


    "Well, yes!"


    Huang Yueying nodded, her face full of satisfaction.


    The two returned along the original road. With the rising heat, the mountain forest became humid and sultry.


    "We''ve dug so many mushrooms. When we go back, we''ll send some to Uncle Pang and some to Uncle Sima. Then we''ll leave some at home."


    Huang Yueying smiles and thinks about how to divide the umbrella mushroom in the basket.


    Liu Xiu agreed. They chatted and walked out.


    As time goes by, they approach the exit of the mountain forest.


    All of a sudden, Liu Xiu''s eyes coagulated. He suddenly grabbed Huang YUEYE''s hand and motioned Huang Yueying to keep quiet.


    "What''s the matter?"


    Huang Yueying lowered her voice and asked in a low voice.


    "Get down!"


    Liu Xiu came back and squatted down with Huang Yueying.


    Liu Xiu had a dignified look in his eyes. He said, "as soon as I saw the exit, there seemed to be a figure. As soon as I saw us going out, I hid myself.""Huang Yueying said:" can it be a daze


    Liu xiudao: "it''s impossible to be dazzled. There must be someone."


    Huang Yueying said, "it''s normal for people to come."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "it''s so hot on lumen mountain in June that it''s impossible for people to go on an outing. People at the foot of the mountain seldom come to the mountain except to cut firewood. Now it''s after the rain. The people can''t come up. The situation is not right. "


    Liu Xiu was very careful in his life.


    When Huang Yueying heard this, she became nervous.


    All along, Huang Yueying has been at home and never touched the outside world.


    Hearing Liu Xiu''s analysis, I was afraid.


    Huang Yueying said: "these people are not here to deal with us, are they?"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "it''s hard to say. Maybe it''s for me."


    Liu Xiu is not sure about the situation of the mountain forest exit. After a while, Liu Xiu said, "let''s take a detour down the mountain instead of this road. Let''s go. Let''s retreat into the forest. "


    They retreated quietly without making a sound.


    Outside the woods, in the grass.


    Six men in black, squatting on the ground.


    Among them, the leader was in his early thirties, thin, cold faced, sword like eyebrows and fierce eyes. He hid in the grass and waited quietly.


    For a while, but no footsteps came.


    "Liu Qiuhe, if you go to Xiaoxie, you must have alerted Liu Xiu, otherwise he would not hide in the forest."


    The leader frowned and whispered.


    Liu Qiuhe was in his early twenties. He was very strong. He said: "boss, it''s not easy for us to kill Liu Xiu with your swordsmanship? Why hide? "


    Leading humanity: "fart, Liu Xiu once defeated Jiangdong general who came to Xiangyang to challenge, and his martial arts is not low. I''m careful to kill you in one shot, so that you won''t get hurt. "


    After hearing this, Liu Qiuhe said, "I should have held my breath for a while. I didn''t know Liu Xiuhui came out at that time. This time, instead, let the boy stay in the forest. "


    "It''s not right. He''s all close to the exit. It''s impossible that he hasn''t been quiet for such a long time." The leader suddenly changed his face and said, "no, Liu Xiu must have retreated. Son of a bitch, I can''t help it. I have to kill him and chase him with me. "


    He secretly scolded Liu Qiuhe for delaying the event, but he had nothing to do.


    A group of six people jumped out of the grass and ran to the forest.


    Liu Xiu retreats with Huang Yueying, but the basket on his back affects his speed, making him unable to run fast. He simply threw away the basket and ran with Huang Yueying.


    After a while, shouts and footsteps came from behind.


    "Here we are. There is an ambush."


    "Yueying, let''s run."


    Liu Xiu takes Huang Yueying by the hand and runs to the mountains.


    If it was Liu Xiu alone, he would be sure to get rid of the pursuers. Now there is one more oil bottle, and Liu Xiu''s speed is much slower.


    "No, you''re too slow to run. You''ll be overtaken soon."


    Liu Xiu leads Huang Yueying to run, the speed is too slow.


    He stopped for a moment, picked up Huang Yueying and ran quickly.


    "Liu Xiu, what are you doing?" Huang Yueying was held up in surprise.


    Liu Xiu looked serious and said: "there are pursuers behind. We are running too slowly together. Only I can run with you. You hold me tight


    Huang Yueying was pale and nervous.

 Chapter 44

    "Liu Xiu, if you can''t run away, you will die. No matter where you go, you can''t escape. "


    "Stop, Grandpa will give you a happy way to die."


    The shouting from the rear is getting closer and closer.


    When Liu Xiu heard the voice coming from behind, he was eager and ran with Huang Yueying in his arms. As long as there is a way ahead, go straight ahead.


    As long as you can get rid of the people behind you, everything will be fine.


    Huang Yueying is held by Liu Xiu, and her heart is even more nervous. At this time, Huang Yueying said nothing, but quietly nestled in Liu Xiu''s arms.


    What she can do is not to make trouble for Liu Xiu.


    The more you run into the mountains, the more difficult the road is.


    Because of the rainstorm yesterday, the leaves deposited in the mountain forest are even more greasy. If you step on them, it''s easy to fall to the ground.


    Liu Xiu''s running speed also slowed down.


    In addition, with one in my arms, the speed is affected.


    The cry behind him is getting closer and closer.


    Huang Yueying nestled up to Liu Xiu''s chest and felt that Liu Xiu''s heart beat faster and faster.


    Shortness of breath, more frequent.


    "Liu Xiu, put me down. With me, you will be dragged down."


    Huang Yueying pursed her lips with firm eyes. Their lives are threatened. If only one can be saved, Huang Yueying would rather stay with Liu Xiu.


    "Shut up, they come to kill me. How can they stay alive? You stay for death. "


    Liu Xiu looked serious and continued to run.


    Fortunately, Liu Xiu does morning exercises every morning and runs every day. He has a very good physique. Even if you run forward with Huang Yueying in your arms, your body can still bear it.


    The assassin who ambushed Liu Xiu was bitter.


    Liu Qiuhe gasped as he ran and said, "boss, this boy belongs to a rabbit. He runs too fast. We''ve been chasing for such a long time, but we haven''t caught up


    The leading killer said: "he runs fast, but after all, he takes a woman with him. He can''t last long. The longer the delay, the more physical consumption Liu Xiu has. "


    A group of six people, continue to chase in the forest.


    Six people followed Liu Xiu, but they never lost them.


    Liu Xiu runs with Huang Yueying in his arms. Gradually, the front suddenly becomes empty. The leaves on the ground are much less and the road is flat. Liu Xiu thinks that he is about to rush out of the mountain forest. He is very happy.


    When he rushed out, Liu Xiu saw the situation ahead and his face froze.


    In front is a huge stone wall, which is about two feet high, standing vertically like a knife. If you want to climb up, it is impossible. The stone wall blocks the way forward.


    "Ho! Ho


    Liu Xiu gasped heavily, with a tangled look on his face.


    Around the stone wall, it is horseshoe shaped.


    In and out of the entrance, only Liu Xiu with Huang Yueying ran into the road, there is no other intersection.


    Huang Yueying looked around and said, "there is no way ahead. What should I do?"


    "Back up!"


    Liu Xiu made a quick decision and turned to run out. Only when the other side has not caught up with them can they withdraw and have a chance. But when Liu Xiu turned around, the exit of the stone wall had been blocked.


    Six people stopped running, with cruel smile on their faces, slowly approaching.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu knew he couldn''t run away.


    Holding Huang Yueying, he retreated to the bottom of the stone wall and glanced over it. He saw a one person high cave under the stone wall. He put Huang Yueying down and said, "Yueying, hide in the cave."


    "Well, be careful."


    Huang Yueying came down from Liu Xiu''s arms and trotted into the cave.


    The cave is one person high, six feet wide and nearly one foot deep.


    Huang Yueying hiding in the cave, just right, will not appear crowded, and the cave inside clean, a look will know that someone has come.


    Liu Xiu stood in front of the cave and quickly picked up a stone and held it in his hand.


    Looking at the six killers coming, Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "I have no grievances or grudges with you. I have never offended you. Why do you want to kill me when you wait for me in lumen mountain


    Liu Qiuhe said: "to kill you, it''s natural that someone wants your life."


    "Pa!"


    The leading killer slapped down and said, "I didn''t speak. Shut up."


    "Yes, yes!"


    Liu Qiuhe nodded, his face was submissive.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu asked, "are you the leading killer?"


    The leading killer nodded and said, "you''ll die obediently. I''ll give you a good time. If you resist, hum


    Liu Xiu smiles, showing a trace of stubbornness and stubbornness on his face: "after all, he is going to die. He can''t die too weakly. I just want to know, who asked you to kill me? Who is your excellency? "


    The leading killer said: "it doesn''t matter who I am, but you have to die. As for those who want to kill you, it''s up to you to ask who you have offended. "When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he made a quick calculation in his heart.


    At present, his only enemies are Liu Cong and the Ma family who offended him before.


    The rest of the people, there''s no connection.


    Liu Cong?


    Or the Ma family?


    Liu Xiu is not sure who it is.


    What Liu Xiu wants to solve now is to save the lives of him and Huang Yueying.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes turned and continued to delay. He took the opportunity to recover his strength and said slowly, "how much did the other party give you? I can double that for you. If you help me kill the people behind the scenes again, I''ll give you another piece of money. "


    "Ha ha ha What a cunning boy. "


    The leading assassin shook his head and said, "I take people''s money to eliminate disasters for them. Since I take people''s money, I won''t accept your money any more. This rule should be observed. "


    Liu Xiu continued: "you are too pedantic. You don''t earn money."


    The leading killer said: "there is a way to steal!"


    "The thief also has a way, you sneer


    The leading assassin approached Liu Xiu and said, "boy, I''ll count to three. You still don''t want to die on your own. I told you not to live, not to die. You''ll regret it then. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "wait a minute. I have a condition."


    "What conditions?"


    The leader asked with a flash in his eyes.


    Before he came to deal with Liu Xiu, he had already found out Liu Xiu''s bottom line carefully and knew that Liu Xiu was outstanding in martial arts. If he fights with Liu Xiu, he and his brothers may be injured.


    Therefore, he hoped that he could kill Liu Xiu without damaging his own people, so he would let Liu Xiu delay.


    Liu xiudao: "release my woman, let her leave, I let you kill."


    When he said this, there was a trace of expectation in Liu Xiu''s heart.


    He constantly delays time, constantly and each other, the ultimate goal is to hope that Huang Yueying leave first. As long as Huang Yueying leaves, he has no worries. Even if he is defeated, he can find a chance to escape.


    The leading killer shook his head and said, "no way, she must die, too. But she died in a different way. If you die obediently, I''ll give you a good time. If you resist, you should know the seriousness of the consequences. A group of men, a woman, hehe. "


    With these words, the leading assassin showed a trace in his eyes.


    Liu Qiuhe said: "boy, die quickly, or you will regret coming to this world."


    "Pa!"


    A dull ring, Liu Qiu and brain door son pain, way: "boss, hit me again for what?"


    "Shut up


    The leading assassin opens his mouth. Liu Qiu and Shan Shan smile, but they don''t speak any more.


    He looked at Liu Xiu and asked, "have you thought about it?"


    Liu Xiujian didn''t let go at all. He knew it was impossible for Huang Yueying to leave. If you want to save your life, the only way is to fight a bloody battle.

 Chapter 45

    When the leading killer saw that Liu Xiu didn''t speak, he realized that he had come over and was even more impatient: "you five, go up and kill Liu Xiu."


    At the command of five killers, do it together.


    Sonorous! to be sonorous!


    An iron sword came out of the scabbard. Liu Qiuhe and other five killers, all holding the iron sword, slowly approached Liu Xiu.


    Huang Yueying was hiding in the cave. When she saw this scene, she turned pale and clenched her fist. Her eyes showed deep fear and worry.


    Liu Xiu bowed his back slightly, and his eyes calmed down.


    At this point, it is inevitable.


    Only, kill!


    The distance between the two sides is constantly shortening.


    "Kill


    One of the killers, taking the lead in approaching, put out his iron sword and stabbed Liu Xiu in the chest.


    A sword is simple and direct, but it''s as fast as lightning. It''s more fierce.


    This is the sword of Assassin. It''s the skill of the assassin. As soon as you make a move, you will be quick, accurate and ruthless, in order to kill your opponent in the fastest and shortest time.


    Liu Xiu stood still.


    Hand, already clenched the stone.


    The killer saw that Liu Xiu didn''t move, and a happy look appeared in his eyes.


    The point of the sword was close to his chest, and the killer''s eyes were already excited. He is going to succeed. If he succeeds, he will get the highest reward.


    In a flash, Liu Xiu moved.


    The sword that must be hit, however, is pierced empty.


    Liu Xiu avoided the killer''s sword, looked at the killer and grinned. That smile, like a demon smile. Liu Xiu was holding a stone in his hand. He lifted it up and dashed his hand across an arc in the air.


    Bang!


    The stone fell and hit the killer''s wrist.


    The powerful force broke out. With a click, the killer''s wrist was completely broken. With a bang, the iron sword fell to the ground.


    The killer endured the pain of his wrist, looked startled and stepped back.


    Liu Xiu squatted down and put out his hand. The sword was already in his hand.


    The whole process is like flowing water.


    After the killer retreated two steps, he roared: "kill him, kill him quickly, I want him to die."


    Roar, with endless pain.


    At the moment when the voice fell, Liu Xiu held the iron sword and moved it.


    One step, the iron sword shaking.


    "Hum!"


    The body of the sword vibrates, and there seems to be a light flowing on it in the sun.


    A touch of sword light, suddenly flashing.


    There is a sword mark on the killer''s neck.


    Liu Xiu hit it well and immediately retreated back to where he was.


    "Poof!"


    The bloodstain on the killer''s neck cracked, blood splashed, and his face showed an incredible look. He covered his throat with both hands, and his eyes were full of reluctance and fear.


    "Boom!"


    Huge body fell to the ground, no breath.


    The other four killers had a little more fear in their eyes. Liu Xiu broke the killer''s wrist by waving a stone, and then picked up an iron sword to kill, but in the blink of an eye.


    Hand like thunder and lightning, ruthless and decisive, leaving no leeway.


    Liu ChouHe swallows his saliva. He suddenly understands the leader''s worry. It turns out that the boy in front of me is really powerful. It''s hard to deal with such a role.


    Liu Xiu looks at the leading killer with a trace of dignity in his eyes.


    This man has been very difficult.


    The leading killer said in a deep voice: "don''t be greedy. Let''s go together. Let''s go together."


    Up to now, the leading killer has not found Liu Xiu''s shortcomings. He wanted to observe Liu Xiu and see his weakness so as to launch a fatal attack. And the people under his command consume Liu Xiu''s physical strength, which is also a good choice.


    "Kill


    Liu Qiuhe roared and jumped on it with the rest of the people.


    Four men besieged at the same time, four iron swords stabbed out, the sword light in the air flickered, killing awe inspiring.


    Liu Xiu''s swordsmanship master inherited Deng Zhan and Shi A''s strong points, and his swordsmanship was also extraordinary. The iron sword in his hand was constantly changing. He only heard the sound of Dangdang. Liu Qiu and the four couldn''t break Liu Xiu''s defense.


    Seeing this, the leading killer''s eyes fall on Huang Yueying.


    In my eyes, there is a smile.


    This is Liu Xiu''s flaw and his only weakness.


    The leader of the killer, carrying an iron sword, walked slowly to Huang Yueying''s cave. His speed is so slow that Liu Xiu can find it.


    Liu Xiu is so anxious that he turns around and prepares to stop the killer leader from threatening Huang Yueying. But this turn, a sword on the back. After the blade pierced the skin, it was three inches into the flesh, and the blood immediately flowed down.


    Back, hot pain.


    Liu Xiu is lucky that there is no poison on the killer''s sword.


    If the sword is poisoned, he will die.Liu Xiu stepped back two steps and stood in front of the cave, breathing heavily.


    At this time, Liu Qiu, the four and the killer leader slowly approached.


    The killer leader''s eyes were cold and fierce, and said again: "let yourself die obediently, but you don''t agree. You have to choose such a way, toasting instead of drinking."


    Liu Qiuhe roared: "kill!"


    The other three were killed at the same time.


    Four Swords aimed at different positions of Liu Xiu and approached at the same time.


    Liu Xiu stepped on Yin and Yang, and his body had already avoided the direction of the two swords. When he was ready to resist the other two swords, he suddenly found a killer, who was going to rush to the cave.


    "Death


    Liu Xiu''s teeth are clenched. He does not allow anyone to threaten Huang Yueying.


    In the hand iron sword, spurs quickly.


    The sharp sword light, with a puff, crossed the neck of the killer approaching the cave.


    A shot in the throat!


    The second killer died under Liu Xiujian.


    Poof! Poof!


    With the sound of two sharp stabs, Liu Xiu''s face suddenly tensed, and his face showed a ferocious look. He killed a killer with one sword. The price he paid was two swords in a row.


    The two killers were terrified and retreated immediately.


    Outside the cave, there are only four killers left, but Liu Xiu has three swords in the company.


    One wound on the back and two sword wounds on the lower abdomen.


    The leader of the killer said with a smile, "you''re very good at killing my two brothers. But that''s it. You even in three swords, the body and the physical strength unceasing consumption, the blood unceasing flow, can you persist? Liu Qiuhe, kill


    Liu Qiuhe roars, takes the other two people to rush to Liu Xiu quickly.


    Three swords, swift and cold.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes are sharp, and the leader of the killer does not start his work. On the one hand, he must be worried about being hit hard, and on the other hand, he must consume his physical strength and strength.


    However, this is just in line with Liu Xiu''s mind.


    Only by getting rid of these shrimps can Huang Yueying not be threatened.


    "Ho! Ho


    Liu Xiu took a big breath. Three swords came to kill him. He stepped on his feet and took the initiative to meet him. Sharp sword light, flashing in the air, Liu Xiu low cheered: "a sword, double!"


    The sword light trembled and two sword flowers appeared in the air.


    Poof! Poof!


    With two dull sounds, the sword in Liu Xiu''s hand pierced the hearts of the two assassins.


    A little red blood gushed from the hearts of the two assassins.


    "Ah


    Two killers, suddenly feel a burst of angina pectoris. In a flash, he lost his look in his eyes and fell to the ground.


    Whoa!


    Liu Qiuhe''s sword arrived and left another wound in Liu Xiu''s abdomen.


    Blood overflowed, but Liu Xiu''s face was excited. As if he didn''t feel the pain on his body, he said coldly: "now it''s one on two, ha ha ha Can you still threaten me? "


    When the other party was six, Liu Xiu didn''t worry about himself. He was worried that someone might attack Huang Yueying.


    Fortunately, the other side had scruples and gave him the chance to kill four people.


    Now, there are only two people left. In the face of two people, even if Liu Xiu is seriously injured, he has the confidence to stop him and keep Huang Yueying safe.


    The leading killer said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu, you are too arrogant."


    Liu xiudao: "if you are arrogant, you will not know until you have killed him."


    His waist was bubbling with blood, but Liu Xiu didn''t care. Under such circumstances, he is also enough to face the two, worries have been relieved, he has full confidence to keep Huang Yueying''s safety.

 Chapter 46

    The killer leader said: "Liu Qiuhe, you wait for an opportunity to enter the cave. I''ll attack Liu Xiu."


    "I understand!"


    Liu Qiu he had a fierce look in his eyes.


    The corner of Liu Xiu''s mouth rises slightly. The killer leader''s words, on the one hand, really intend to let Liu Qiuhe into the cave, on the other hand, are to distract Liu Xiu.


    Just, can two people distract Liu Xiu?


    Wishful thinking!


    Liu Xiu stood in front of the cave with his sword in his eyes.


    In the cave, Huang Yueying looks at Liu Xiu''s back and the blood dripping from Liu Xiu. She clenches her fist and covers her mouth to prevent herself from crying.


    That tall and straight figure, at this moment, boundless great shore.


    There is nothing more important than that.


    Liu Xiu fixed his eyes on the killer leader and said, "come on, let me see what you can do. As far as swordsmanship is concerned, Liu Xiu has never been afraid of anyone. "


    The head of the killer said: "I know you have excellent swordsmanship, but now you are at the end of the storm."


    Liu Xiu shook his head with a trace of contempt in his eyes.


    "In the beginning, you hide behind and dare not fight."


    "Your intention at the beginning was to let your people die and consume my strength."


    "This little trick is too much of a joke."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were even more contemptuous. There were only two killers left. He was not so weak that neither of them could deal with him.


    The leader of the killer yelled: "kill!"


    With a low roar, the iron sword in the killer leader''s hand turned into a streamer and stabbed out rapidly.


    Liu Xiuning responded with a sword.


    Dang! Dang! Dang!


    The sound of gold and iron fighting is constantly ringing.


    When they fight fast, the speed is equal. What they fight for is speed, strength and skill.


    The look on Liu Xiu''s face was more and more pale and weak. After all, he was hit hard and had no more energy than the killer leader. But as the fight continued, there was a little doubt between Liu Xiu''s eyebrows.


    Boom!!


    After the fight, they suddenly separated.


    Liu Xiu arched his back, gasped, and his wounds were overflowing with blood.


    "Kill


    At this moment, Liu Qiuhe made a move.


    Liu Qiuhe''s martial arts can''t be compared with the killer leader, so he didn''t get involved in the fight between the two sides. At the moment when Liu Xiu stopped to have a rest, Liu Qiuhe killed him directly.


    "To die!"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were cold. He shook his sword and quickly resisted. The light of the sword swam like a dragon, killing people.


    "Kill


    The killer leader''s eyes were cold, and then he made a move to echo Liu Chou.


    They besieged at the same time, both of them were fierce.


    The long sword in Liu Xiu''s hand lifts Liu Qiuhe''s sword. The light of the sword turns fiercely, and the body of the sword splits on the killer leader''s sword.


    "I''ve been guarding against you for a long time. I want to sneak attack. It''s a long way off."


    When he said it was late, it was fast. As soon as his sword turned, he stabbed Liu Qiuhe again.


    "Hum!"


    The sharp light of the sword pierced the air.


    In the air, there was only a little cold light left. The tip of the sword "Dang" stabbed Liu Qiuhe''s sword. Liu Xiu''s sword moves are continuous. If he succeeds in one move, his moves are more fierce.


    The sword move turns and stabs out quickly.


    Without waiting for Liu Qiu and reaction, Jianguang had already crossed Liu Qiu and his neck.


    Poof!


    The edge of the sword passed, and the blood spattered.


    Liu Qiu and stare big eye son, the person has already collapsed.


    "Ah


    Suddenly, a scream came from the cave.


    Liu Xiu was so anxious that he didn''t even want to think about it. He turned back. From the corner of my eye, I can see that the killer leader approaches the cave and kills Huang Yueying.


    "Kick! Kick


    Liu Xiu stepped on the road and pursued him quickly.


    Suddenly, the killer leader, who is approaching the cave, smiles at the corner of his mouth, takes a meal at his feet, turns his sword around and stabs back.


    Poof!


    The tip of the sword went straight into Liu Xiu''s right chest.


    Liu Xiu snorted, and his iron sword was cut to the throat of the killer leader.


    The killer leader withdrew his sword and retreated, and Liu Xiu once again blocked the entrance of the mountain.


    "It''s a good move. It''s cunning enough."


    Liu Xiu breathed heavily, and his face was even paler. However, the look in his eyes was brighter. All the five people brought by the killer leader have been killed.


    Even if hurt, it''s worth it!


    Now it''s a one-on-one duel, and Liu Xiu is not afraid.


    The killer leader stares at Liu Xiu, and a trace of fear appears in his eyes.


    In the short time he fought Liu Xiu, he had already judged that Liu Xiu''s swordsmanship was very powerful. With Liu Xiu''s swordsmanship, he could fight with Liu Qiuhe and others without getting hurt. However, Liu Xiu traded his injuries for his life and killed five killers in a short time.In this case, Huang Yueying''s safety has been guaranteed.


    "You are very good. I''m afraid I''m not your opponent in terms of swordsmanship. But now, you are at the end of your rope. "


    The killer leader stares at Liu Xiu with confident eyes. Up to now, Liu Xiu''s back, chest and abdomen have been badly damaged, and his blood is flowing. Liu Xiu is bound to be unable to last long.


    Liu Xiu endured his weakness and asked, "who is Deng Zhan?"


    The killer leader''s eyes suddenly became extremely fierce. He said in a sharp voice, "do you know Deng Zhan?"


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice, "your swordsmanship is very similar to Deng Zhan."


    "Deng Zhan, hum, he should die. He learned the teacher''s swordsmanship, but he was not satisfied. He had to marry the teacher''s daughter. He should die. You know Deng Zhan. No wonder your swordsmanship makes me feel familiar. "


    "My name is Deng Li. When you die, remember to tell Yama that Deng Li killed you. You can rest assured that I will kill Deng Zhan soon and let him join you. "


    The killer''s name is Deng Li, and he is from the same school as Deng Zhan.


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he understood. In his previous life, he and Deng Zhan were good friends and knew Deng Zhan well. Deng Zhan is bold and straightforward. It is impossible for Deng Zhan to do anything wrong.


    Deng Li is jealous of Deng Zhan.


    Liu Xiu sneered in his eyes and said, "with your swordsmanship and your personality, you can''t like who you are. It''s blind who will marry you. Deng Zhan is forthright and has outstanding martial arts skills. How can you compare with Deng Zhan when you are so secretive? "


    The harsh words made Deng Li furious.


    "You want to die, go to die!"


    Deng Li could no longer suppress his anger. In his rage, he swung his iron sword and quickly cleaved it to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes twinkled and held the sword tightly.


    Deng Li was furious. His chance came.


    "One sword, matchless!"


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, he noticed Deng Li''s flaws, and he went up with his sword.


    The iron sword pierces in the air, and the light of the sword is gorgeous.


    Poof!


    The sharp point of the Sword Pierced Deng Li''s chest and pierced his heart.


    The long sword in Deng Li''s hand, however, stabbed a space, murmured: "impossible, impossible, how can you avoid my fatal sword? It''s impossible."


    In Deng Li''s eyes, there was a look of disbelief.


    Liu xiudao: "I''m familiar with all of Deng Zhan''s swordsmanship. Your half hanging swordsmanship is far from perfect."


    The edge of the sword broke Deng Li''s chest.


    "Ah


    Deng Li screamed, his eyes disappeared, and he fell to the ground.


    Liu Xiu stood in the same place, relieved, and finally solved all the enemies. After killing all the killers, Liu Xiu was relieved.


    The feeling of powerlessness caused by excessive blood loss and the pain caused by heavy body injury gradually eroded Liu Xiu''s nerves. Liu Xiu looked back and said, "Yueying! We win, we win


    Boom!


    With a dull sound, Liu Xiu had fallen to the ground.


    Huang Yueying rushed out, holding the bloody Liu Xiu in her arms. She burst into tears.

 Chapter 47

    Lumen mountain, Pang family.


    The whole Pang family is in a mess.


    One by one, the attendants were careful, for fear of angering the angry pound.


    In the courtyard, Pang Degong and Huang Yueying are sitting. Pound''s face was as heavy as water, but Huang Yueying was in a state of confusion. Her eyes were staring at the bedroom, looking flustered.


    In the mountains, Liu Xiu killed all the killers and then fainted on the ground. There is no one in the mountain forest, Huang Yueying can only carry Liu Xiu out of the mountain. Fortunately, just out of the forest, we met the people who came up to hunt.


    As soon as he heard that Liu Xiu was seriously injured, the people hurriedly carried him down the mountain. After returning to Pang''s home, Pang Degong knew the news and immediately arranged for a doctor to treat him. He also sent people down the mountain to invite Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui.


    Looking at the confused Huang Yueying, pound said, "Yueying, how did you meet a killer on the mountain?"


    Huang Yueying shakes her head. She is also confused and can''t figure out the situation.


    Pound public words front a turn, way: "you say, at that time condition."


    Huang Yueying carefully said the situation at that time, choked: "if Liu Xiu was not to protect me, he would not have been hurt so seriously. It''s all my fault."


    Pound said: "it''s not your fault. It''s none of your business. These killers are for Xiuer. Objectively speaking, this time it''s Xiuer who has dragged you down. "


    Huang Yueying shakes her head, but she is worried.


    Creak!


    The door of the bedroom opened and the doctor came out.


    Huang Yueying quickly asked, "doctor, how is his condition?"


    The doctor showed a smile on his face and said: "fortunately, he came back in time. If there is too much bleeding, the immortal daruo will not be saved. The blood has stopped, and the vital part of his body has not been seriously damaged. He will be OK when he wakes up. Next, we have to take care of ourselves. It''s just a young man. He''ll recover soon. "


    "Thank you, thank you!"


    Huang Yueying''s heart, which was chosen in mid air, was finally put down.


    Pang Degong waved his hand. Pang Fu, who was waiting for him, hurriedly took the doctor down.


    "What''s going on, what''s going on?"


    Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui came in a hurry. When Huang Chengyan saw Huang Yueying''s pear blossom with rain, his face became gloomy, and he said, "Yueying, what happened? Is Liu Xiu bullying you? "


    Huang Chengyan did not know the situation, only saw Huang Yueying pear with rain, and did not see Liu Xiu, in the heart of the preconceived guess.


    Huang Yueying shook her head and looked sad.


    Pound explained: "it''s not Xiuer who bullies Yueying, it''s they who go into the mountain together and encounter a killer. Xiuer has killed all the killers, but he is also seriously injured. Now he has passed out and hasn''t woken up. "


    "What about the slain killer?" Asked Sima Hui.


    Pound said, "I''ve sent someone to collect the body. I''ll hear from you soon."


    Huang Chengyan sat down and said, "what''s the matter?"


    "This is what Yueying said. The specific news will not be known until Xiuer wakes up," he said


    Huang Chengyan''s face was as deep as water. Looking at Xiang Yueying, he said, "Yueying, go down and have a rest."


    "I''ll go and see him," said Huang


    Then Huang Yueying went to Liu Xiu''s bedroom.


    Huang Chengyan sighed and said, "Duke De, let''s go to the study to talk."


    Pang Degong nodded. He told his attendants to pay attention to Liu Xiu''s condition all the time, and then went to the study with Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui.


    Three people sit down in the study, Huang Chengyan said: "this matter, Germany recognized as the biggest suspect?"


    Pound Fair: "the horse family is suspected, but there is no doubt."


    Sima Hui nodded and said, "Shiyuan was not guilty. Liu Xiu really offended the Ma family. But careful analysis, this is untenable. Liu Xiu is Liu Biao''s son. This level of identity is enough to make the Ma family afraid and dare not act rashly. Moreover, if the Ma family assassinates Liu Xiu at this time, anyone with insight will suspect that the Ma family did it. "


    Huang Chengyan said in a deep voice: "the analysis of morality is reasonable. The suspicion of the Ma family is actually the smallest."


    Pound is fair: "I also think so."


    Huang Chengyan asked again: "besides the Ma family, who is the most suspect?"


    "Before he came to the fore, no one knew him. After he came to the fore, the only people he knew were us old guys and the Ma family because of Shi Yuan. After putting aside the suspicion of the Ma family, I''m afraid the biggest suspicion comes from the prefecture


    Huang Chengyan opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "you mean, Liu Cong! But I''m afraid Liu Cong didn''t have the courage. Once the news of his brother''s assassination comes out, it''s a great event. "


    In Huang Chengyan''s eyes, however, he showed a cold and fierce color. If Liu Xiu hadn''t killed all the killers, his daughter would have been killed along with him.


    "If it''s Liu Cong, I can''t swallow it."


    Huang Chengyan is such a daughter, doting incomparable, but now threatened, anger can be imagined.Pound said justly: "this is my inference. Further information can only be known after Liu Xiu wakes up."


    Sima Hui said: "if it is Liu Cong, it will definitely involve the Cai family. After all, the Cai family is Liu Cong''s helper. Chengyan, you are the son-in-law of the Cai family. Once you tear your face, do you think about it? "


    With these words, Huang Chengyan''s face changed slightly.


    Huang Chengyan''s wife is Cai Mao''s elder sister and the eldest daughter of the Cai family.


    Conflicts between the two sides are difficult to deal with.


    Huang Chengyan snorted and brushed his sleeve, saying, "my daughter doesn''t care. This matter can''t be settled like this. There must be a statement. "


    Mr. pound said, "Chengyan, I have an idea."


    "What do you think?" Huang Chengyan asked.


    Pound said solemnly, "what do you think of Xiuer''s character and ability?"


    Huang Chengyan said: "not bad!"


    Mr. pound said: "I think about getting Xiuer and Yueying engaged in advance. After Xiuer is crowned, I will marry Yueying. What do you think? "


    Huang Chengyan asked, "why did you mention it all of a sudden?"


    Pound Fair: "after the assassination, you should also understand that Xiuer and Yueying must be difficult to separate. Xiuer really cares for Yueying, otherwise she won''t be seriously injured, and Yueying will be unharmed. "


    Huang Chengyan waved his hand and said, "I know that!"


    Pound said: "Liu Cong''s support came from the Cai family and the Cai family. If Xiuer and Yueying are engaged, Xiuer is half of the Cai family. Does the Cai family still fully support Liu Cong? With one more choice, the Cai family will also consider who is more suitable. "


    After a pause, pound continued: "in this way, we can divide the Cai family, weaken Liu Cong''s help, and fight for Xiuer''s strength. Anyway, you have acquiesced in Xiuer and Yueying. Why don''t you help Xiuer earlier? "


    Huang Chengyan listened, but he was silent.


    Sima Hui advised: "Chengyan, if you really identify this son-in-law, you can operate in advance."


    Huang Chengyan took a deep breath and said, "OK, I agree!"


    Mr. pound stroked his beard and said, "in that case, we three old men will discuss how to deal with this matter well. This time, not only to divide the Cai family, but also for Xiuer and Yueying. I can''t forget about the assassination. "


    Study, three people you a word, I a word, to discuss the next countermeasures.

 Chapter 48

    In the bedroom, the lights are flickering.


    A little weak light, constantly swaying.


    When Liu Xiu opened his eyes, he felt a burst of pain in his chest and back. He fought with Deng Li and the killer, leaving too many wounds on his body. After the doctor''s dressing, and on the medicine, although stopped the wound, but not one or two days to recover.


    "Ah


    Liu Xiuchang sighed and tried to struggle, but when he moved, he pulled the wound.


    "Hiss!"


    The pain of the wound, the pain to the marrow.


    Helpless, Liu Xiu had to lie down, his eyes suddenly fell to one side.


    Huang Yueying was lying beside the bed and had fallen asleep.


    "This girl, big night of, don''t go back to rest, but guard here."


    Liu Xiu''s heart is warm.


    As he brushed Huang Yueying''s hair, Liu Xiu showed a trace of love in his eyes. It''s too bloody and frightening to fight on the lumen mountain during the day. This girl is scared to death.


    "Well..."


    Huang Yueying wakes up from her sleep and opens her sleepy eyes.


    Blurred vision, become clear.


    Seeing Liu Xiu wake up, she was very happy and said excitedly, "it''s so nice of you to wake up." Huang Yueying rubbed her eyes and said again, "what do you want to eat? I''ll make it for you right away."


    Liu Xiu said, "just boil some porridge!"


    "Well, I''ll get ready."


    Huang Yueying''s tight heart relaxed.


    Finally, finally wake up.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "you invite the teacher here. I have something to say."


    "Good!"


    Soon after Huang Yueying went down, Pang Degong, Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan all came.


    Three people''s looks, are concerned.


    Sima Hui joked: "boy, this time the hero saved the United States, he made a good show. It''s very powerful."


    Liu Xiu said with a bitter smile: "don''t make fun of me, Mr. moral. This time, I almost lost my life. Fortunately, Yueying didn''t get hurt, otherwise I would be guilty. "


    Huang Chengyan said, "who are the people who killed you? What do you think


    Liu xiudao: "at that time, I thought about it, and I also thought about it when I woke up. Ma Jia and Liu Cong, the second elder brother, have the motive for the assassination. But I think the second brother is more suspect than the Ma family. "


    Mr. pound nodded and said, "we three old guys think so after summing up. It''s just that after the bodies of the six assassins were brought back, there was no way to find the direction, and the clues were broken here. "


    Liu xiudao: "the assassin who took the lead was Deng Li, a native of Nanyang. He should be a Ranger in Xiangyang. If you want to trace, you can follow this clue. However, I don''t think there are many clues. They must have been cut off. "


    Mr. pound wrote down Deng Li''s name and said, "no matter what, we have to verify it." After a pause, Mr. pound said, "I have discussed with Cheng Yan about your assassination this time, and decided to arrange the marriage between you and Yueying first, get engaged first, and then hold the marriage after you are crowned. What do you think?"


    Liu xiudao: "teacher, when I got married to Yueying, I agreed to give me two years. Now, how did it suddenly change? "


    Pound patted Liu Xiu on the shoulder and said, "you don''t need to know about this. As long as you know, the teacher won''t hurt you. This matter, also was Cheng Yan to agree


    Liu Xiu pondered for a moment, and said, "is the teacher going to split the Cai family? Knock on the second brother? "


    Pound''s face was shocked.


    He didn''t expect that Liu Xiu saw through the intention at a glance, which was quite extraordinary.


    Huang Chengyan nodded and said, "I have discussed with Duke De to split the Cai family. The assassination of Yueying must not be done like this. "


    Sima Hui said: "Xiu boy, the situation is not good for you. If you get engaged to Yueying first, it will be much better for you. "


    Liu Xiunao, began to calculate carefully.


    To be sure, getting engaged to Huang Yueying is a better choice for him. In this way, he got in touch with the Huang family and naturally got the support of the Huang family.


    Moreover, Huang Yueying''s mother is the daughter of CAI''s parents.


    Once Liu Xiu became the son-in-law of the great Cai family, the Cai family could no longer fully support Liu Cong.


    In this way, with the support of the Pang family, the Huang family and half of the Cai family, Liu Xiu has a huge influence behind him. No matter who wants to deal with Liu Xiu, he has to think about it.


    However, this is not what Liu Xiu wants.


    Liu Xiu likes Huang Yueying because he hopes to marry Huang Yueying with his own strength.


    This is a man''s persistence!


    Liu Xiu doesn''t want to mix other factors into his relationship with Huang Yueying.


    Even though I have been used to ups and downs in my life, there are always some things that I need to insist on.Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "teacher, Mr. Chengyan, Mr. moral, thank you for your kindness. This time, Yueying has been implicated. It''s my lack of ability to protect Yueying. "


    "But, believe me, this will never happen again."


    "I like Yueying. I will marry her back. It''s not so rash."


    "A man is a man who does something but doesn''t. I don''t want to mix other factors into my relationship with Yueying. I hope I can get help, and I understand that once I get engaged, there are too many benefits. "


    "But I don''t want to."


    "To marry Yueying is a lifelong event. I won''t let Yueying have any grievances."


    Liu Xiu looked at Pang Degong and solemnly said, "teacher, Mr. Chengyan and Mr. morally, can I handle the matter this time?"


    Pang Degong frowned. He never thought that Liu Xiuhui would object, but he did not agree.


    Huang Chengyan''s eyes are also incredible.


    For Liu Xiu, engagement is a matter of great benefit but no harm. I didn''t expect that Liu Xiu would refuse.


    Suddenly, Huang Chengyan laughed and said, "good, good, good Liu Xiu. Facing the temptation of heaven, it''s not easy to stick to your heart and self. Yueying girl''s vision is better than my father. It''s up to you. "


    After listening to Liu Xiu''s words, Huang Chengyan appreciated Liu Xiu even more.


    This son-in-law, he chose.


    Pang Degong took a look at Huang Chengyan and said to him that you were going to rebel so soon. He took a look at Liu Xiu and sighed: "Xiuer, since Chengyan has agreed, I won''t stop you any more. It''s up to you to deal with the matter between you and Liu Cong. "


    Sima Hui said: "repair boy, it''s really good."


    I owe you a smile, please smile back one by one. I''ll take care of it. "


    ¡­¡­


    Cai Fu, study.


    Cai Mao is sitting in a dangerous position and is handling official business.


    However, Cai Mao''s mind was hard to calm down. He put down his brush and said, "today is the time for Deng Li to take action. Is there something wrong? Deng Li is cruel and cunning, and his swordsmanship is superb. There should be no problem. "


    "Dong! Dong


    Knock on the door, outside the study.


    Cai Mao said, "come in!"


    The door creaked. The housekeeper came in quickly and said, "master, the task has failed."


    Brush!


    Cai Mao''s face suddenly changed.


    What I was worried about turned out to be true.


    Cai Mao''s face sank like water and asked, "what''s the matter?"


    The housekeeper shook his head and said, "I don''t know the specific information, but those who inquired about it in lumen mountain only saw Liu Xiu return to Pang''s home seriously injured and Huang Yueying return unharmed. Soon afterwards, I saw Deng Li and five other assassins all killed. "


    Cai Mao''s face was even colder. He scolded: "a group of rubbish, six people, didn''t kill Liu Xiu."


    Housekeeper asks: "housekeeper, how to do now?"


    Cai Mao said in a deep voice: "what else can we do? Cut off all the clues. When you were looking for Deng Li, did you reveal your whereabouts? "


    The housekeeper shook his head and said, "don''t worry, the place where I see Deng Li is a random place. Deng Li didn''t see my face. In particular, Deng Li is dead, and there is no proof of his death. "


    Cai Mao nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "with the eye power of Lord pound, we must be doubted. Now, you should deal with it carefully and never show your feet. "


    "No!"


    The housekeeper nodded respectfully.


    Caimao big sleeve a brush, said: "prepare the carriage, I want to go to the prefecture."


    The housekeeper suggested, "I''m afraid the owner will be suspicious when he goes to the prefecture at this time. It''s better for the old slave to send someone to pass on the news so as not to attract attention."


    After hearing this, Cai Mao sat down.


    After pondering for a long time, Cai Mao nodded and said, "you can arrange it. Remember, you must arrange reliable people."


    "No!"


    The housekeeper was ordered to turn back.


    When the news reached Cai''s hands, Cai felt sorry and disappointed. I thought Liu Xiu would die this time, but I didn''t expect that Liu Xiu still escaped. She left the yard, went to Liu Cong''s yard in person, and told Liu Cong the news.


    Liu Cong was even more disappointed when he got the news.


    In Liu Cong''s view, Liu Xiu was against him, which made him feel uncomfortable everywhere.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu still escaped.


    Cai looked at Liu Cong and said, "Liu Xiu will not give up if this assassination fails. Pang Degong, who is behind him, will not give up. He will definitely pursue him to the end. What you''re going to do now is pretend to be nothing, OK? "


    Liu Cong nodded and said, "mother, don''t worry, son understands."


    Cai Shi said: "Liu Xiu escaped a disaster. It''s his life. To deal with Liu Xiu, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Don''t show your flaws, or it will affect your future. "Liu Cong said with a smile: "mother, don''t worry."


    "Late at night, mother will not stay more. Pay attention to yourself."


    Cai sighed and turned to leave.


    As a matter of fact, up to now, Cai''s ability is not enough. He dealt with Liu Xiu several times, but each time he failed. Instead of taking him down, Liu Xiu took advantage of the situation step by step.


    In CAI''s heart, he was even more worried.


    Liu Cong saw Cai off and went back to the room. There was a surge of anger.

 Chapter 49

    After lying for two days, Liu Xiu''s wounds began to scab and his spirit recovered a lot.


    Without Huang Yueying''s help, I can walk on the ground.


    On this day, Liu Xiu went out of his bedroom alone and did morning exercises in the yard. Just after exercising for a while, Mr. pound came to the yard.


    Liu Xiu quickly stopped to salute. Pound said, "no, let''s sit and chat for a while."


    Liu Xiu nodded and sat down with pound.


    Pound Fair: "about the assassination, the clue is broken here by Deng Li, and then look up, there is no evidence. However, after the news of your assassination came out, the Ma family sent a special person to declare that it was not the Ma family. On this point, I think it should not be done by the Ma family. The people of the Ma family are not so stupid. "


    Liu Xiu analyzed: "the disciples also thought it was not the Ma family. Although the Ma family wanted their disciples to die, they didn''t have the courage. As for the Cai family and my second brother, the suspicion is the biggest, but the Cai family can''t move. "


    Pang Degong nodded slightly and said, "Cai family, it''s not so easy to deal with."


    Liu xiudao: "it''s not that we don''t report. The time has not come. Sooner or later, you will pay back what you owe. "


    Pang Degong laughed. He knew that his disciple was not pedantic. Even if he didn''t take revenge now, it was just a temporary record.


    One day, maybe it''s time for the Cai family to pay off their debts.


    Pound turned around and said, "I sent someone to tell Zhou Mu about your injury. He told the messenger to let you have a good rest and said that he would check it out and give you justice. "


    Liu Xiu said with a sneer: "investigation naturally needs to be verified, but at most it''s just an act, that''s all. After all, he can definitely judge who it is, but it is impossible to pursue it. "


    As for Liu Biao, Liu Xiu did not report his hope.


    Liu Biao''s temperament is repeated and he dotes on CAI. Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for Liu Xiu to leave a good impression in Liu Biao''s eyes.


    Cai''s words, Liu Biao may immediately change his mind.


    Therefore, Liu Xiu did not intend to show anything in front of Liu Biao, and did not expect Liu Biao to find out who was behind the scenes.


    Liu Xiu said: "teacher, today, I plan to go back to the prefecture."


    "What are you going to do?" he asked


    "See Liu Cong!"


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, the color of coldness flashed away.


    His cheap second brother is always making a moth behind his back. If he doesn''t solve Liu Cong''s problem, Liu Cong must be buzzing like a fly.


    This time, Liu Xiu will solve the problem.


    Pound said in a deep voice: "Xiuer, although Liu Cong assassinated you, he didn''t leave any evidence. You go back to the prefecture to see him. Don''t mess around. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "does the teacher look like someone who will come here in disorder?"


    Pound Gong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "well, you''re calm, not impulsive." After a pause, pound said: "you can arrange it yourself. I won''t interfere in your decision."


    After that, pound got up and left.


    Liu Xiu sent Mr. pound away and went back to his room to change his clothes.


    After getting down from lumen mountain, he drove straight to zhoumu Prefecture.


    Entering the mansion, Liu Xiuxian met Liu Biao and praised him as listening to Liu Biao''s teaching.


    The conversation between Liu Xiu and Liu Biao had no substantive content. The general situation was that Liu Biao mentioned Liu Xiu''s assassination lightly and asked about Liu Xiu''s study in lumen mountain.


    After that, Liu Biao paid more attention, and there was no following.


    After a short conversation, Liu Xiu quit and went to Liu Cong''s yard.


    Seeing Liu Biao is false, seeing Liu Cong is true.


    When she came to Liu Cong''s yard, green willow, the maid, came up to stop her and said, "young master Xiu, this is Cong''s yard. You can''t enter it casually."


    At this time, in the face of Liu Xiu''s eyes, there was no arrogance and arrogance in the past, and there was a strong fear in his eyes.


    Liu Xiu defeated sun Ren and became famous in Lianxiang building. He invented the bobbin car to save the people from fire and water One by one, one by one, let green willow heart fear.


    Today''s Liu Xiu is not the one who used to be bullied.


    Liu Xiu didn''t say a word, and his eyes were fixed on Lvliu. His calm and deep eyes made Lvliu''s heart tremble.


    "Kick! Kick


    Green willow stepped back two steps, more afraid.


    Liu Xiu mouth with a smile, light way: "you want to stop me?"


    "Slave I dare not


    Green willow bowed her head and did not dare to face Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    Liu Xiu waved and said, "since you don''t dare, let''s get out of the way. You are a servant girl. It''s meaningless for me to make trouble for you. "


    "I, I''ll inform Cong immediately."


    Green willow brain flash, no longer stop Liu Xiu, turned to Liu Cong''s bedroom.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and chuckled.


    This scene really proves what is called a villain like a ghost.The more afraid you are of her, the more arrogant she will be.


    In the past, before Liu Xiu came to the fore, Lvliu saw Liu Xiu. He was fierce and arrogant. He didn''t pay attention to Liu Xiu.


    Now, green willow trembles for fear of offending Liu Xiu.


    Little people are like ghosts!


    This is the portrayal of green willow.


    Liu Xiu stepped into the yard and looked at it carefully.


    Liu Cong''s courtyard is magnificent in layout and luxurious in decoration. In the yard, rockeries, pavilions, pavilions, ponds It''s very comfortable with trees and water.


    This shows that Liu Cong''s position in Liu Biao''s heart.


    This courtyard is even bigger and more luxurious than Liu Qi''s.


    "Oh, what brings the third brother here. I heard that the third younger brother was assassinated in lumen mountain, and he has not recovered yet. Now he comes to my yard. Is he not afraid that he can''t bear it? "


    Liu Cong strode out with a red tide on his face.


    In the speech, it is with a look of banter.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu suddenly began to laugh and said, "I accept the second brother''s care. It''s not worth mentioning that I have a little injury on my body. I can bear it. "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "it''s the second elder brother. It''s really elegant. The ancients said that the plan of a year lies in spring, and the plan of a day lies in the morning. The second brother really lived up to the beautiful scenery in the morning. It''s up to the second brother to let the Liu family spread its branches and leaves. "


    Liu Cong''s eyes flashed a trace of anger.


    As soon as he got a beautiful maidservant, he couldn''t help it, so he and her went through the clouds and rain in the room. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu came at this time.


    Liu Cong''s face was livid, and he said in a deep voice, "I don''t need my third brother to care about my affairs."


    Liu Xiu joked: "how can we not care about the second brother''s business and be a younger brother? The second elder brother has come all the way. I see that your steps are flighty and your eyes are lax. Are you too young to be able to do what you want? "


    "Shut up


    Liu Cong''s eyes were ferocious and he waved the green willow away.


    At this time, there are only two brothers in the yard.


    Liu Xiu looked calm and continued: "is the second brother angry? My good second brother, a man with a gun is a lifetime thing. You can''t do what you want. Where can you start? There is no third generation in our old Liu family, but you have a heavy responsibility. "


    Liu Cong''s eyes were cold, and he scolded: "Liu Xiu, don''t deceive people too much."


    Liu Xiu didn''t seem to hear it. He said to himself, "after my younger brother was assassinated, some mountain people sent a sika deer for tonic. As it happens, the velvet antler is not used after being picked, but it can be given to the second brother to make up. Well, it''s a little bit of my brother''s heart. "


    Liu Cong''s eyes flashed and he said, "really?"


    In the aspect of female sex, Liu Cong did not have any scruples, so that he drank too much and his body was a little empty.


    Hearing that Liu Xiu had velvet antler, Liu Cong was looking forward to it.


    Rao Shi and Liu Xiu are already in hot water. He also temporarily suppresses his anger. He thinks it''s not too late to turn over with Liu Xiu when he gets the velvet antler.


    Liu Xiu suddenly laughed and said, "second brother, it''s not so easy to get deer antler. I lied to you."


    Liu Cong was very angry and said, "Liu Xiu, you deceive people too much."


    At this moment, Liu Cong''s heart was already furious. He had the intention to kill Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu''s face became cold. He clenched his fist and said in a deep voice, "second brother, I respect you. It''s just that I respect you, but my second brother ignores the brotherhood. Even my own brother, I want to kill him. He''s really a good brother. "


    Liu Cong''s sarcastic eyes and piercing words made him angry.

 Chapter 50

    Liu Cong took several deep breaths to calm himself down and said, "what did you say? I don''t understand


    Liu xiudao: "it seems that the second elder brother is really bad. The ancients said that he learns from good people and bad people. It seems that there are a group of bad people around him. Otherwise, the second brother will not lie. "


    Liu Cong snorted and refused to admit it.


    When it comes to the assassination, he will never admit it.


    Liu Cong changed his words and said, "Liu Xiu, if you come to me for help, my brother will try his best to help. In the morning, when you come to my yard to slander me, you really treat me as a bully. "


    Liu xiudao: "it''s not the second brother who is easy to bully. It''s the second brother who thinks his younger brother is easy to bully."


    Liu Cong waved: "I don''t welcome you here. Get out."


    Liu Xiu shook his head, but went straight to the pavilion in the yard. As he walked, he said: "second brother, don''t worry. Your impatience makes you feel guilty. If you are empty hearted, you will appear to have a ghost in your heart. If you have a ghost in your heart, you are the main messenger behind the scenes. "


    Liu Cong and Liu Xiu sat down in the pavilion with a gloomy face.


    Looking at Liu Xiu''s eyes, it was even colder.


    Liu Cong scolded Deng Li for not killing Liu Xiu. If he killed Liu Xiu, there would be no present situation.


    Liu Cong said, "come on, what''s the purpose of your coming here?"


    Liu Xiu said: "this time, I''m here to wake up my second brother. I hope that from now on, if you have anything to do with me, please stay away from me. Of course, when it comes to assassination, it can''t happen again. Otherwise, the consequences will be at your own risk. "


    "Are you here to demonstrate? If so, you''ve got the wrong person. "


    Liu Cong held his head high, happy and fearless.


    Deng Li assassinated Liu Xiu, but did not leave any clues.


    There is no proof of death in this matter.


    Even if Liu Xiu had a guess, but Liu Cong died and did not admit it, there was no way to start the investigation. What''s more, Liu Cong didn''t arrange Deng Li''s assassination himself, but Cai Mao did. Liu Cong didn''t worry about it.


    In short, although Liu Xiu doubted, there was no evidence.


    Liu xiudao: "the second brother is now about 20 years old. There is no big difference between the ages of our two brothers. It should not be difficult to communicate. But why can''t the second brother understand me? I''m not here to demonstrate. I''m here to remind my second brother. "


    Liu Cong said: "don''t talk nonsense, hum, it''s meaningless."


    After a pause, Liu Cong lowered his voice and said in a deep voice: "third brother, even if I say that I am involved in Deng Li''s assassination of you. What can you do with me? Hey, hey, there''s no evidence. My third brother is very upset. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "yes, it''s really hard."


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Liu Cong couldn''t help laughing and felt that he had pulled back a city.


    Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "what I feel bad about is that my second brother is too stupid. It''s boring for the second brother to do so. "


    The smile on Liu Cong''s face strained.


    Eyes, is not good.


    Liu Xiu explained: "for now, the only ones who have the intention to assassinate me are second brother and Ma Jia. I''m the son of Zhou mu, and I just saved Pang Tong. How could the Ma family assassinate me? How dare you assassinate me in this storm


    "It''s no doubt the second brother who sent the people."


    "Why does the second brother think it''s very smart and even think there''s no evidence for such an obvious thing?"


    "Some things, in fact, do not need evidence."


    "This is what happened to Deng Li''s assassination. There is no need for evidence. Even if I have evidence, I won''t show it. Because it must be the father who is in trouble. "


    "My father is in charge of Jingzhou. He knows people''s heart. Don''t he know about it?"


    "The answer is obvious. My father must know."


    "However, the second brother was very popular with my father, so my father comforted me a few words and did not go deep into it. But in the end, it will damage the second brother''s image in his father''s heart. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head, a look of regret, "the second brother did not kill me, and let himself in his father''s heart to reduce the status.". Alas, people are so stupid that they can be regarded as a wonderful flower. "


    "Up to now, they are still complacent that there is no evidence and they will not trace it to you."


    "But you have already lost."


    Liu Xiu continued: "if the second brother really wants to kill me, he should plan well. The Cai family should at least choose a perfect plan for you. "


    "For example, if I want to kill my second brother, I may let him die in a woman''s belly. In this way, there is no proof of death, and it is the second brother''s own plan. "


    Liu Xiu smile, that cold smile, make Liu Cong heart cold.


    Liu Cong''s eyes were filled with fear and worry.


    For a long time, he thought that it was impossible to verify without evidence, but he ignored that it was very easy to infer, and it was not difficult for Liu Biao to know the result.If Liu Biao believes that he is a cruel man, a man who can even kill his brother, it will certainly have an impact on his succession to Jingzhou.


    Liu Qi was the last to make a profit.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and went back to Liu Cong again. He said, "second brother, you should understand now. Are you scared by your own stupidity?"


    Liu Cong snorted: "Liu Xiu, you don''t have to be bluff. I don''t want to do this."


    Liu Xiu tut tut twice, his eyes showed a look of disdain.


    The look in his eyes made Liu Cong more angry.


    Liu Cong waved his hand and said, "go away. You are not welcome in my yard."


    At the moment, Liu Cong''s mood is extremely complex and chaotic.


    Liu xiudao: "second brother, don''t worry. At least I''m your brother. It''s a little disappointing for me to drive you away. "


    Liu Cong roared: "roll, roll quickly."


    Liu xiudao: "you see, the second brother is too impatient, too eager for quick success."


    "This man, you can''t be too impatient. If you are too impatient, it will be bad."


    "For example, the second brother wants to inherit Jingzhou, but his father is still there. As long as the father is alive, some means can not be used, otherwise it will affect the second brother''s major events. Big brother should be very happy now. He''s making a profit. "


    "For example, the second brother likes to play with women, so he should know that he can''t eat hot tofu in a hurry. Don''t you understand the principle of "nine shallow and one deep"? You''re done. She''s not satisfied. You can''t get the happiness you want. "


    "For another example, the second elder brother wanted to kill me in his heart, but on the surface, he had to show concern for me. That''s what the elder brother did. But the second brother sent someone to kill me. This method seems decisive, but it''s too stupid. "


    Liu Xiu sighed: "second brother, do you understand your stupidity?"


    Once again, Liu Cong was even more angry.


    Strong sense of powerlessness, in Liu Cong''s heart breeding out.


    He felt helpless for the first time in his heart. Facing Liu Xiu, he had no power to fight.


    Liu Cong clenched his fist and said, "I don''t need you to teach me. You are a common man. What are your abilities to teach me. No matter how you are, you are a common man. "


    Liu xiudao: "the second brother is smart at last. I''m really a common son. I always know that. What''s more, I didn''t teach my second brother. I just gave him an analysis by the way. I''ve said that I''m here to remind my second brother. "


    Liu Cong said, "speak directly!"


    At this time, Liu Cong was full of anger and wanted to vent it immediately.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes suddenly became cold and incomparable, and his angular cheek was even more murderous. Sitting opposite Liu Xiu, Liu Cong and Liu Xiu looked at each other. For a moment, he felt cold all over his body, and his heart was filled with fear.


    "Ha, is the second brother afraid?"


    Liu Xiu''s mouth rose, showing a cold smile.


    At the bottom of his heart, Liu Cong was even more afraid.


    Liu xiudao: "did the second brother forget? I killed Deng Li, and I killed his five killers. Second brother, you said, "if I want to kill you, is it easy?"


    Liu Cong''s pupils shrunk and said, "you dare not kill me."


    Liu xiudao: "I really dare not kill you, because killing a fool like you will affect my future."


    Liu Xiu''s tone became colder and sharper. The voice seemed to be coming from the Jiuyou abyss.


    "That''s the end of the assassination."


    "In the future, whether you aim at me, or you want to deal with me, or you want to kill me, remember to kill me at one time, don''t give me a chance."


    "As long as I don''t die, I will kill you."


    "You have a certain understanding of my swordsmanship. It''s easy to kill you."


    "As you said, I''m just a commoner, and I can''t inherit Jingzhou. But the second brother wants to inherit Jingzhou. If the second brother wants to die, I don''t mind taking him with me. "


    Liu xiudao: "you cross your single wooden bridge, I walk my Yangguan road. I advise you not to offend me, or you will never die next time. I''m a man whose father doesn''t love his brother. What am I afraid of? "


    With these words, the murderous spirit is awe inspiring.


    At this time, Liu Xiu seemed to be a murderer, which made Liu Cong cold.


    Liu Xiu stood up and went to Liu Cong''s body. He slapped Liu Cong''s cheek and said with a smile, "my dear second brother, do you understand me?"


    Gudong!


    Liu Cong swallows his saliva. When he is angry, he finds that Liu Xiu''s hand is pressed on his shoulder, making him unable to move.


    Liu Xiu''s murderous spirit made him even more frightened.


    Liu Cong said, "I, I, I know!"


    Liu Xiu patted Liu Cong''s face again and continued: "in fact, I know I can''t stop you. So, if you want to deal with me, just come. I''ll surprise my second brother. However, I''m a common son, and I have nothing. It''s good to take my second brother to die together. ""It''s not so much to remind my second brother as to tell him that you should be fully prepared before you deal with me, or you''d better not move."


    "It''s getting late. I have to go back to lumen mountain. Second brother, take care."


    Liu Xiu left with a smile.


    After a while, Liu Cong regained his mind and felt relieved.


    Liu Cong looked at Liu Xiu''s back, his eyes full of humiliation and endless anger. But at the thought of Liu Xiu''s threat, I was even more frightened and frightened.

 Chapter 51

    Liu Xiu left the prefecture and felt at ease.


    He knows Liu Cong''s character as well as the back of his hand.


    There are many similarities between Liu Cong''s character and Liu Biao''s. Liu Cong has another shortcoming: he is afraid of death, or timid.


    Liu Xiu humiliated Liu Cong, but Liu Cong did not respond in the end.


    It''s not that Liu Cong didn''t hate Liu Xiu, it''s that he was afraid.


    Liu Cong''s heart, want Liu Xiu to die immediately, want to kill Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu''s threat, let Liu Cong dare not act rashly. Liu Cong will not kill Liu Xiu easily without 90% assurance.


    And Liu Xiu''s words are not threats.


    If Liu Cong used the means of assassination again, Liu Xiu would not mind letting Liu Cong die in a woman''s belly, or in an unnatural way.


    On the means of killing people, Liu xiuduo is right.


    Liu Xiu believed that for some time in the future, Liu Cong would be quiet and would not dare to go out again.


    Liu Xiu also needs time to accumulate.


    At present, Liu Xiu, with the support of Pang family and Huang family, has a certain strength. However, in Liu Xiu''s view, this is a flower in the mirror of the moon in the water, which is not reliable at all. He must have his own strength. All this needs Liu Xiu to go down step by step.


    It''s not just about the assassination.


    Liu Xiu is waiting for the opportunity. When he has enough strength, Liu Cong''s assassination and Cai''s assassination will be settled together.


    Out of the city, the carriage ran to lumen mountain.


    Back on the mountain, Liu Xiu went to see Mr. pound before he went back to his yard.


    The next time, everything was calm again.


    Huang Yueying stayed at Pang''s all day to take care of Liu Xiu''s daily life, and their relationship grew by leaps and bounds.


    Tired of being together all day long, Liu Xiu is no longer limited to such simple things as holding hands. His magic claw reaches out to Huang Yueying. What should be kissed has already been kissed and what should be touched has also been touched. He is only one last step away.


    On this day, they took a walk in the villa.


    Liu Xiu asked, "Yueying, is there any problem with the production of quyuanli?"


    Referring to the manufacturing of the above things, Huang Yueying was full of spirit and said excitedly: "I''ve got all the design drawings, and the production of Qu Yuanli is in progress. Soon, it will be finished. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said: "once the production is completed, it must be kept secret, and the information cannot be leaked. I''ll discuss it with you and dad after that. "


    Huang Yueying smiles and answers, "listen to you."


    "Da! Dada


    Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from their haste.


    A worker came quickly and said respectfully, "Miss Yueying, the craftsman said that the farm tools you made have been made. Please accept them."


    "All right, let''s get them in the yard."


    Huang Yueying''s face showed a trace of excitement.


    Liu Xiu immediately took Huang Yueying with him to see Pang Degong, explaining the situation of Qu Yuanli.


    After Pang Degong heard this, he immediately sent someone down the mountain to invite Huang Chengyan.


    When Huang Chengyan arrived on the mountain, Qu Yuanli had already been placed in his study.


    Huang Chengyan looked at Pang Degong, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying, glanced at Qu Yuanli and asked, "Pang Gong, you are in a hurry to shout me up from the foot of the mountain. What''s the matter?"


    Pang Degong pointed to the Quyuan plow and said, "this farm tool on the ground is called Quyuan plow, which was invented by Xiuer and Yueying. Xiuer said that the curved yuan plow is lighter than the current straight yuan plow. It is also easier to turn around and turn around, and its operation is extremely flexible. It can also save manpower and livestock. "


    "Oh, really?"


    Huang Chengyan''s eyes are full of surprise.


    Zhiyuan plough appeared in the Western Han Dynasty and has not changed for hundreds of years.


    At the same time, the disadvantages of the straight plow also emerged.


    Low efficiency, time-consuming and laborious, waste of manpower and material resources, and the quality of digging is not high


    The appearance of Quyuan plow will certainly set off a boom.


    As the head of a family, and also the head of an aristocratic family, Huang Chengyan understood the benefits of Qu Yuanli. Before, the bobbin car brought great benefits, but because it was given to Liu Biao, it couldn''t work.


    Now the Quyuan plow has a huge operating space.


    Huang Chengyan stared at Qu Yuanli and said, "well said, it''s better to do it well. Let''s arrange someone to have a try, and use both the straight and Qu Yuanli to plough at the same time to see the effect."


    Pound said with a smile, "that''s what I mean."


    Liu xiudao: "teacher, Mr. Chengyan, I have found two farmers. Now, just go down the mountain and plough. "


    "OK, let''s go down the mountain."


    Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan nodded. They said they would do it and got up immediately.


    The party went out of the government, took the farmers who had been waiting, and went straight down the mountain.


    At the foot of the mountain, Liu Xiu asked people to find two oxen, and then put them on the straight yuan plow and the curved yuan plow respectively, and the farmers began to plough in an idle farmland."Moo! Moo


    The sound of cattle, in the field, the cattle slowly forward.


    The curved and straight plows began to plow.


    Looking at the farmer driving the Quyuan plow, Liu Xiu said, "teacher, Mr. Chengyan, look at the Quyuan plow and Quyuan plow. When the two plows plow at the same time, after one side plows, when the direction changes, there is flexibility."


    "The turning of the plow is not flexible enough. When it turns, it will waste a lot of time."


    "Compared with the straight plow, the curved plow is more flexible and light. It is much easier in terms of time and manpower."


    "Look again, when the Quyuan plow goes forward, it''s very easy to turn over the soil. As the cattle move forward, the soil in the field is turned up like waves and falls on both sides. The straight yuan plow is different. It takes too much power for the cattle to move forward. It wastes too much manpower and cattle power. "


    "The time of unilateral plowing is shorter for curved plows and longer for straight plows, which is the most intuitive."


    Liu Xiu was confident in his eyes, and continued: "compared with the straight yuan plow, in the design of the curved yuan plow, Yueying and I have added plow comments and plow arrows."


    "The depth of the cultivated land is determined by the length of the plough arrow, and the length of the plough arrow is controlled by the plough."


    "The plowshare can be moved back and forth. As long as the plowshare is pushed forward when plowing, it can be ploughed deep down; when the plowshare is pulled back, it can be ploughed shallow up."


    "Farmers can decide the depth of cultivated land according to different places. This is a great advantage. "


    "In addition, the plough wall can not only break the soil, but also push the ploughed soil to one side, reducing the resistance of plowing forward. In this way, the time of ploughing is accelerated


    Liu Xiu confident calm, loud voice: "Qu Yuan Li, absolutely can greatly improve the efficiency of cultivated land. My idea is that quyuanli is operated by Pang family and Huang family together to sell


    Mr. pound stroked his beard and said with a smile, "this proposal is feasible."


    Huang Chengyan said: "I''m afraid Xiuer can''t appear in the publicity of knowledge. Xiuer, the Quyuan plow you designed was not handed over to Liu Jingzhou first, but directly to us. Once the propaganda was designed by you, it would cause unnecessary trouble. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Mr. Chengyan is wrong. The external publicity of Qu Yuanli was designed by Yueying."


    "This is a good suggestion," Huang Chengyan said with a flash in his eyes


    Pound said: "Xiuer''s proposal is highly operational and reasonable. I agree with it. This matter, old man and Cheng Yan discuss, carry on the arrangement again


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he showed a smile on his face.


    To be sure, Liu Xiu was a disciple of Pang Degong, who saved Pang Tong''s life and had an extraordinary relationship with the Pang family. Moreover, Liu Xiu is Huang Chengyan''s son-in-law to be.


    However, in Liu Xiu''s view, his relationship with the Pang and Huang families is not close enough.


    The appearance of Qu Yuan Li is the binding of interests.


    Liu Xiu hides behind the scenes, and the Pang family and the Huang family unite. In this way, Liu Xiu, the Pang family and the Huang family unite and have a stronger relationship.

 Chapter 52

    Prefecture, study.


    Liu biaotan sat in his study with a dignified face.


    Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and Yi Ji sat in the study with a solemn look.


    Liu Biao''s eyes were deep. He glanced at the three people and said slowly: "the edict issued by Cao Cao said that when the emperor was thirty-six years old, because he was busy with the Northern War, he had no time to celebrate the emperor''s birthday. Now that Bingzhou has been pacified, Cao Cao wants to celebrate the emperor''s birthday and ask my official to send someone to celebrate his birthday. This is a strange situation. "


    Cai Mao nodded and said, "my Lord is wise. The name of Cao thief is Zhu Shou. I''m sure you don''t want to do that."


    "What is the reason?" Liu Biao asked


    Cai Mao replied: "Lord, I guess it''s Cao Cao who wants to send troops to the south?"


    Liu Biao''s face darkened when he heard the speech and said: "Jingzhou has hundreds of thousands of soldiers with armour. They are well equipped. Why are they afraid of Cao thieves? Even if the thief Cao sent troops to the south, I would not be afraid. "


    Kuai Yue nodded gently and said: "Lord, although the northern part of the country is stable, Bingzhou and Youzhou are still unstable, and there are great hidden dangers. I think that in a short time, Cao thief should not go south. Moreover, Cao Jun, who was stationed in Nanyang, has not moved. I believe that it is not the intention of Cao thief to go south to celebrate the emperor''s birthday. "


    "What is that?" Liu Biao asked.


    It is absolutely impossible to wish a birthday.


    Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the princes. The emperor was in Cao Cao''s hands, like a puppet. Although Cao Cao looked up to the emperor on the surface, he never paid attention to him and could not celebrate his birthday.


    More importantly, the time for the birthday is over.


    Emperor Liu Xie celebrated his birthday in April. Now it''s July, and Cao Cao just remembered to celebrate his birthday.


    There must be something fishy about it.


    Kuai Yue was silent when he heard the speech.


    Yi Ji sat upright with a dignified expression. Not to mention Cao Cao in the north, Jingzhou is a peaceful place, singing and dancing, everyone is happy and comfortable, there is no war, there is no fight.


    When Cao Cao was mentioned, he felt that a sharp sword was hanging on his head and might fall down at any time.


    The study is quiet.


    The atmosphere is even more oppressive.


    All of a sudden, Kuai Yue''s eyes lit up and said, "Lord, I think that thief Cao may have such a mind."


    "What''s the point?"


    In Liu Biao''s eyes, what he fears most is not knowing, but not knowing.


    A thing is all unknown, no clue, Liu Biao can''t start. As long as the purpose of Cao Cao is analyzed, there is room for operation.


    Yi Ji and Cai Mao also looked at Kuai Yue.


    Their eyes also showed a look of expectation.


    Kuai Yue explained: "in the name of Cao thief, he invited people not only from Jingzhou, but also from Jiangdong, Xiliang and Yizhou."


    "I believe that Cao thief deliberately wanted to show off his power after he pacified Bingzhou, so as to publicize his power and then frighten the world."


    "Imagine that the envoys from Jingzhou, Jiangdong, Yizhou and other places went to Xu county to celebrate their birthday. When they found out that Cao thief was powerful, they would be afraid. When they return to their respective places, they will definitely report the truth. "


    "In this way, the pressure on local officials will be increased virtually."


    The more Kuai Yue said, the more sure he was. He continued: "maybe there is another possibility."


    "Jingzhou connects the north and the south, and its strategic position is quite important."


    "The reason why the thief Cao congratulated the emperor''s birthday was that he wanted to pave the way for his future going south. On the one hand, the Cao bandits are showing off their force; on the other hand, they are trying to intimidate Jingzhou. "


    "Despicable and bold speculation, Cao thief to pressure."


    "Although the thief Cao did not send troops for the time being, his majesty could be conveyed to Jingzhou by means of birthday celebrations."


    Kuai Yue affirmed: "in the final analysis, no matter what the purpose of the Cao thief is or who he hired, the Cao thief is going to demonstrate and show off his force."


    After pondering carefully, Cai Mao nodded his head and said, "I think the analysis of different degrees is reasonable. The intention of the thief Cao is probably to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and to threaten the Lord. "


    After careful speculation, Yi Ji couldn''t think of any other reasons.


    Only Kuai Yue''s analysis is the most reasonable, which is also the reason for Cao Cao''s birthday to the emperor.


    Yi Ji said: "Lord, the intention of Cao thief has been analyzed. Now, we have to send people to celebrate the birthday of the emperor. If we don''t send people to celebrate the birthday of the emperor, I''m afraid we can''t


    Liu Biao said: "I''m a relative of the Han Dynasty, but I can''t say it if I don''t send someone to the emperor''s birthday."


    Cai Mao then said, "if you want to select officials, you can''t send too many officials, and you have to be careful. Otherwise, once there is another official like Han song, it will be bad for the Lord. "


    Han song, with the name of Degao, was born in Yiyang.


    When Zhang Jiao led the rebellion, Han Song fled to the south. After Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, Han song became Liu Biao''s farewell driver, and later turned to Zhonglang.


    At that time, Liu Biao sent Han song to Xu county to see Cao Cao and inquire about Cao Cao''s reality.Han Song went to Xu county for a visit. After returning to Xiangyang, he praised Cao Cao''s talent. He described Cao Cao as the master of the Ming Dynasty and suggested that Liu Biao send his children to Xu county as hostages.


    After listening to Liu Biao, he was furious on the spot and wanted to kill Han song.


    Simply, Kuai Yue pleads and sends Han song to prison.


    When Han Song faced the situation of being beheaded at any time, he let people bribe CAI and let Cai blow pillow wind in Liu Biao''s ear. In this way, Han Song saved his life, but he was locked up all the time.


    Referring to Han song, Liu Biao''s face became gloomy.


    Liu Biao said in a deep voice: "this time I''m going to celebrate my birthday, there must be no such situation as Han song."


    As soon as Cai Mao''s eyes turned, he suddenly had an idea in his mind and said with a smile, "my Lord, I have an immature idea about the candidate who is going to Xu county to celebrate his birthday."


    "Who do you think is suitable?" Liu Biao asked


    Cai Mao replied, "Lord pound is the most suitable."


    Liu Biao''s sword eyebrows picked, and his eyes showed a look of doubt.


    He was a hermit and did not become an official. But how did Lord pound become the most suitable person? Besides, it is not easy to persuade pound to go to Xu county.


    Kuai Yue''s eyes narrowed slightly. As soon as he changed his mind, he understood the trick.


    Cai Mao''s move is intended to transfer Pang Degong away from the mountain and make Liu Xiu lose his support. Without the protection of Lord pound, Liu Xiu lost his biggest support.


    In Yi Ji''s eyes, the essence of CAI Mao''s mind was also shining.


    However, neither of them did.


    Cai Mao said with a smile: "first, on the birthday of the emperor, someone must go. If the Lord doesn''t send someone, he can''t. When Pang Degong went, he gave Cao Cao face and made Cao Cao speechless. "


    "Second, pound is a hermit, not a man in officialdom. When he went to the north, even if Cao Cao showed off his force, pound would not preach anything when he came back to Xiangyang. If Pang Degong is not in the officialdom, he will not affect Jingzhou officials. "


    "Thirdly, Pang Degong is a famous scholar in Jingzhou. It is also a shame for Cao Cao to let the famous scholar in Jingzhou go to celebrate his birthday."


    "Fourth, Pang Degong is from Jingzhou. When he goes to the north, he will not stay in Xu county. He will definitely come back. Pang Degong is flexible and resourceful. After he went to Xuxian County, if he was made difficult by Cao Cao, he would fight for reasons and not lose Jingzhou''s reputation. Otherwise, where is the face of Lord pound? "


    Cai Mao counted four advantages and said: "I think that this birthday, Lord pound is the most suitable person."


    After listening to Liu Biao, he was moved.


    Kuai Yue''s mind turned and he wanted to open his mouth to stop him, but after thinking about it, he still didn''t open his mouth. When it comes to birthday celebrations, it''s not good for the Kuai family.


    Liu Biao pondered for a long time, and said: "De Li, when you come to lumen mountain, tell Pang Degong the situation. Remember, we must be emotional and reasonable, not imperative. Pang Gong is a hermit. I can''t order him. "


    Cai Mao was overjoyed and said, "don''t worry, my Lord. I will finish my task."


    Then, after discussing other matters, Cai Mao withdrew from the prefecture.

 Chapter 53

    Pang family and Huang family work together to mobilize abundant human and material resources.


    In just a few days, a craftsman''s workshop was built at the foot of the mountain. The craftsmen of the two families made it according to the Quyuan plow. It''s just that Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan didn''t publicize it.


    The appearance of Quyuan plow is bound to cause a sensation.


    But the quantity of production is too small, so now we are busy with production, and we can sell only after we have accumulated a certain quantity.


    Xiangyang knows nothing about all this.


    Cai Mao arranged for the Cai family to stare at the Pang family, but did not notice the news of Qu Yuanli.


    Now Cai Mao has no mind to pay attention to other things.


    Cai Mao galloped on horseback to the foot of lumen mountain, put the horse in the village at the foot of the mountain, and went straight up the mountain. Outside the gate of Pang''s mansion, Cai Mao immediately handed over the invitation.


    In the hall, the guest and host are seated.


    Pang Degong looked at Cai Mao and said, "there is nothing wrong with CAI''s going to visit Sanbao hall. What''s the matter with you today?"


    Cai Mao said with a smile: "this time I come to visit Pang Gong on behalf of Zhou Mu to discuss something with Pang Gong."


    "What''s the matter?" asked Lord pound


    At this time, pound was on the alert.


    As the head of the Cai family, Cai Mao was not an easy person. He came to the door on his own initiative and had something to do with it.


    Cai Mao said: "Cao Cao issued an imperial edict to celebrate the birthday of the emperor in July. Zhou Mu thinks that Pang Gong De is a model of Jingzhou, so he hopes Pang Gong will represent Zhou Mu to send an envoy to Xu county. "


    He frowned and asked: "I''m just a villager. How can I do that? Jingzhou officials are full of talents. Other officials can go too. "


    Cai Mao said: "this time I went to Xuxian, wenpin protected panggong. The rest of the officials will not participate. "


    Pang Degong stares at Cai Mao and his mind turns.


    Suddenly, pound said with a smile, "this proposal must have been made by military adviser CAI."


    Tsai Mao chuckled and replied, "if there''s anything you can''t hide from Pang Gong."


    After a pause, Cai Mao explained: "the reason why Pang Gong was invited to Xu county was that he was worried about another situation like Han song. Pang Gongyin lived in lumen mountain and ignored government affairs. When he came back from Xu county, he would not publicize the power of Cao thief. "


    "What''s more, Pang Gongde has a high expectation. When he goes to Xu county, he will be able to solve the problems."


    "Pang Gong, Jingzhou officials are not suitable to go."


    "Only Pang Gong is the most suitable person."


    Cai Mao looked solemn and said, "Pang Gong is from Jingzhou. We should understand that peace in Jingzhou is not easy. Once the birthday celebration gave Cao thief an excuse to go south to Jingzhou, it would be very bad for Jingzhou. "


    When pound heard this, he was silent.


    Today, pound is already in his early fifties. He doesn''t love power and doesn''t admire flashiness. It is not appropriate to mix Liu Biao with Cao Cao, and it does not accord with Pound''s wishes.


    However, pound thought of Liu Xiu and had an idea in his mind.


    Pound said: "if I go to Xu county to celebrate the emperor''s birthday, can I appoint the accompanying personnel?"


    Cai Mao chuckled and said, "Pang Gong is an envoy to Xu county this time. Besides Pang Gong and wenpin, there are no other officials, so Pang Gong can take anyone he wants."


    At this time, Cai Mao''s heart suddenly thought of Liu Xiu.


    I''m afraid pound guild will take Liu Xiu.


    Pang Degong said in a deep voice: "in that case, Liu Xiu went to Xu county together as an old man''s disciple."


    "Mr. Xiu hasn''t been out. It''s good to see Xu county." Cai Mao said with a smile, "since Pang Gong has agreed, it''s settled."


    At this time, Cai Mao''s heart, is a burst of joy.


    There are at least two advantages for Pang Degong to leave Xiangyang with Liu Xiu.


    First, Liu Xiu left Xiangyang for the time being. No matter what, Liu Xiu will be quiet in Xiangyang for the time being. Gradually, many people will forget Liu Xiu.


    Second, Liu Xiu went to Xu county with Pang Degong, and he was inevitably harassed by Cao Cao. At that time, if Pang Degong is at a loss or Liu Xiu loses face, he will make Liu Biao angry and disgust him.


    Cai Mao was very happy, but his face was serious. He said, "Pang Gong, I have to go back to my life, so I''ll leave."


    "Take your time, no see off!"


    Pound nodded, but he was thinking about the mission.


    After Cai Mao left, Pang Degong called out, "come on


    Pang Fu entered the hall and said, "Sir, what can I do for you?"


    Pound is fair: "call Xiuer over."


    "Yes


    Pang Fu went down to convey the news. Not long after, Liu Xiu came to the hall and took a seat after saluting.


    Pound said: "just now, Cai Mao came to deliver a message that Cao Cao was celebrating the emperor''s birthday. Jingzhou needs to send someone to celebrate his birthday. The state herdsman has chosen a candidate and decided to let me go as a envoy. "Liu Xiu doubted: "the teacher has no official position. How can he be the envoy of the teacher?"


    "What do you think is the reason?" he asked


    Liu Xiu pondered carefully and explained, "is it related to his disciples?"


    Pound laughed and did not answer.


    Liu Xiunao suddenly thought that it was Cai Mao who came to deliver the letter. With a flash of inspiration, he immediately said, "is this CAI Mao''s suggestion. Is Cai Mao going to let the teacher leave lumen mountain and find another chance to deal with his disciples? "


    Pound is just: "a child can be taught!"


    Liu Xiu asked, "did the teacher agree?"


    Pang Degong replied: "I have agreed. In a short time, wenpin will lead the army to lumen mountain, and then escort us to Xu county. When you go to Xu county this time, you will also go there. "


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he was moved and even more guilty. He said, "it''s the disciples who implicated the teacher!"


    Pang Degong shook his head and said, "in fact, I don''t agree. Zhou mu can''t help it, and Cai Mao can''t help it. There are two reasons for agreeing to go to Xu county. "


    "Why?" Liu Xiu asked.


    "Think about it, what''s the reason?" he asked again


    After careful consideration, Liu Xiu replied: "first, the teacher left his disciples alone in lumen mountain. He was not at ease and asked them to go to Xu county with him."


    "Second, on the birthday of the emperor, the gathering of officials from all the states in the world is bound to bring together talents from all over the world. The purpose of the teacher''s taking his disciples is to let them see the talents in the world and broaden their horizons. "


    "Third, although there is a great crisis, it is also an opportunity. The teacher agreed to his father''s request in order to give his disciples this opportunity. "


    Liu Xiu stood up and went into the hall.


    Facing Pang Degong, Liu Xiu folded his hands, bowed to him and said respectfully, "the teacher''s kindness is great, but his disciples can''t repay it."


    In Liu Xiu''s mind, Pang Degong was the one who really thought about him.


    Like a teacher, like a father!


    Mr. pound is such a man.


    If it wasn''t for Liu Xiu, Mr. pound would not have gone through this muddy water. Cao Cao''s name is to celebrate the emperor''s birthday, but he must have different ideas. When Pang Degong went there, he was bound to encounter all kinds of difficulties.


    Pound said with a smile: "a big man, like a woman, sit back."


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu got up and went back to his seat.


    Pound continued: "your analysis, the first one doesn''t hold. If I stay in lumen mountain, my disciples will not be able to cope with the crisis. Are they still my disciples? "


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he also laughed.


    Pound continued: "the second and the third are true. I''ll take you to Xu county to show off your talents. "


    In his eyes, Liu Xiu was full of fighting spirit and said, "I will live up to the teacher''s expectations."


    Pang Degong waved his hand and said, "go to see Yueying and tell her. It''s not a matter of a day or two to go to Xuxian."


    "No!"


    Liu Xiu got up and stepped down to find Huang Yueying.


    Pang asked people to invite Huang Chengyan to discuss Qu Yuanli. He handed over all Qu Yuanli''s affairs to Huang Chengyan, and then told him about the mission and made it clear.

 Chapter 54

    On the fifth day of July, at the foot of lumen mountain.


    A group of soldiers stood in array, and the leader was Wen pin.


    At the foot of the mountain, Pang Degong and Liu Xiu dressed up and walked with no other entourage.


    Huang Yueying stood behind Huang Chengyan, reluctant to part with tears. She was reluctant to let Liu Xiu leave, but there was no way to stop her.


    Huang Chengyan said: "Duke De, it''s a long way to Xu county. Be careful on the way."


    "Chengyan, it''s up to you to deal with the family affairs," said pound


    Huang Chengyan said: "everything has me!"


    Sima Hui, with a smile on his face, joked: "if Duke de goes to Xu county, he will be famous in Kyushu. After this time, Duke de went back to Xiangyang. Don''t pretend you don''t know our old friends. "


    Pang Degong stroked his beard with a smile and said, "I don''t recognize people because of my virtue."


    Three intimate friends, joking, diluted the sadness of parting.


    Liu Xiu went forward to salute Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui, then walked up to Huang Yueying and said, "Yueying, I will be back soon."


    Huang Yueying was more reluctant to give up.


    Pound is fair: "time is pressing, ladies and gentlemen, goodbye."


    Turn around and enter the carriage.


    Liu Xiu also took a deep breath and followed him into the carriage.


    Wen pin rode on his horse and said goodbye to Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui and others. With a wave of his whip, the team immediately set out.


    They left Xiangyang and headed north all the way.


    From Jingzhou to Xu county, where the emperor is located, after leaving Xiangyang, you will go north to Nanyang County, then go through Xinye, then go to Jiyang, leave Luyang County, enter Yingchuan County, and then go directly to Xu county.


    This route seems simple, but it''s not easy to go all the way north.


    Because it''s July and it''s hot.


    In the scorching summer, he could not bear to go on his way, whether it was Lord pound or the soldiers accompanying him. At the end of the day, I don''t have much time to drive. Most of the time, I have to avoid the sun.


    On the first day, they entered Nanyang County.


    In Nanyang County, Cao Cao and Liu Biao are in charge of it.


    To the north of Xinye, Pingshi and Zao counties were the places where Cao''s troops were stationed. To the south of the three counties is Liu Biao''s sphere of influence. Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye.


    Now Liu Bei is still in Xinye.


    The closer Liu Xiu and his party were to Xinye, the more different they felt.


    The people in Xinye county live and work in peace and contentment and look happy. Especially when it comes to Liu Bei, people''s eyes and faces naturally show admiration and admiration.


    Liu Bei managed Xinye effectively.


    No matter what Liu Bei''s ambition is, no matter what Liu Bei''s intention is, or he is dedicated to winning the hearts of the people, it can not be denied that Liu Bei''s governance ability is quite brilliant.


    Xinye is not as rich as Xiangyang, but the people are happy.


    When the team arrived in Xinye County, Liu Bei, who got the news early, took his officials to wait outside the county.


    Although Liu Bei lives in Xinye County, he has always been concerned about the situation in Xiangyang. The news from Xiangyang is that Pang Degong went to Xu county to celebrate the emperor''s birthday.


    Who is pound?


    In Xiangyang, few people don''t know about Mr. pound.


    Liu Bei knew that Pound''s reputation was very high, and he also knew that pound was a famous hermit. If Mr. pound passes through Xinye County, he can get his advice or help, which will be of great help to his future.


    Beside Liu Bei, Guan Yu stands up in a parrot green robe and a green Pu towel.


    Guan Yu''s face is jujube red, and his eyes are slightly narrowed. Standing beside Liu Bei, he has an extraordinary momentum.


    Guan Yu fixed his eyes on the official road in front of him and said: "big brother, Pang Degong is in a hurry to go through Xinye. I''m afraid it''s difficult for big brother to host a banquet for Lord pound. "


    Liu Bei''s face was soft and elegant, but in his eyes he looked firm.


    Looking at the official road in the distance, Liu Bei said, "no matter what, we must be ready. Even if Lord pound doesn''t stay, it doesn''t matter. At least we can leave a good impression in the mind of Lord pound. "


    Guan Yu stroked the beautiful beard under his jaw and praised: "big brother, you have considered carefully!"


    "Here it is


    Suddenly, Guan Yu said.


    On the official road ahead, no one has appeared.


    Liu Bei said with a smile: "second brother, the shadow has not appeared, you are also anxious."


    Guan Yu confidently said: "as soon as you close your eyes and open your eyes, people will appear."


    Liu Bei laughs and stares at the front.


    Suddenly, in front of the official road, a team of soldiers appeared. The leader, with a huge back, is Wen pin. Behind wenpin was the carriage of pound.


    Guan Yu look confident, proud way: "big brother, how?"Liu Bei said with a smile: "the second brother won. I admire him."


    It was not long before Wen pin led the army.


    Liu Bei took Guan Yu to meet him. Standing in front of Wen pin, he arched his hand and said, "general Wen pin, please tell Pang Gong. Han left general Yicheng Pavilion Marquis leads Yuzhou Mu Huang uncle Liu Bei to meet Pang Gong. Pang is ready to take over the wine. "


    Wen pin''s brow was slightly wrinkled when he heard it.


    He also heard about Liu Bei.


    Hearing Liu Bei''s introduction, wenpin felt instinctively uncomfortable. When you live in Jingzhou, you need Jingzhou''s support in terms of food and military pay. When you introduce yourself, you still have a series of titles. It seems that you are so great. In fact, you are in a great depression.


    However, wenpin still turned around.


    When he came to the carriage, Wen pin said, "Pang Gong, Liu Bei, who is stationed in Xinye County, said that he has prepared drinks in Xinye county to help Pang Gong clean up. Is Pang Gong going to take a rest in Xinye today?"


    Mr. pound nodded and replied, "it''s been hard for the general all the way. In this way, we will rest in the county government for one day and continue to drive tomorrow morning. "


    "No!"


    Wenpin was ordered to inform Liu Bei immediately.


    Liu Bei''s face broke with laughter when he got the news of Pound''s stay.


    Immediately, Liu Bei turned over and got on the horse. Together with Guan Yu, he took wenpin and his party to the city.


    In the carriage, Pang Degong looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Xiu Er, Liu Bei, this man is not simple. His strategy and tactics are not as good as Cao Cao''s, but his reputation is excellent, and he is broad-minded, knows people and treats them well. What''s more important is that he is indomitable, defeated and never gives up. "


    "Liu Bei''s tenacious temperament is the person who does great things."


    "Moreover, he is very good at dealing with people and things. He never said that Liu Bei was bad."


    "Look at Gongsun Zan. He valued Liu Bei very much at the beginning. Without Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei could not participate in the discussion of Dong by the princes. Xuzhou Tao Qian also valued Liu Bei very much. Without Tao Qian, Liu Bei could not be in charge of Xuzhou. Jizhou Yuan Shao still regarded Liu Bei as a talent. So did Cao Cao. He was very Liu Bei."


    "And again, as your father did."


    "The relationship between the princes of the world and Liu Bei is extraordinary. Although Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian and Yuan Shao were defeated one after another, it has to be said that Liu Bei is a man."


    Pound said: "the reason why I stay here is to show you Liu Bei''s way of dealing with people. This is what you need to learn. Take the essence and remove the dross. That''s what you need to do. "


    Liu Xiu was moved and said, "don''t worry, teacher. I understand."


    Liu Xiu knew Liu Bei better than Pang Degong. When he regained his third life, he knew the result of Liu Bei and that Liu Bei finally became emperor in Bashu.


    Liu Xiu also wanted to see such a person.

 Chapter 55

    At the gate of the county government, the carriage stops.


    Liu Bei stood respectfully beside Pound''s carriage, waiting for pound to get out of the carriage.


    Guan Yu stood not far away, standing in awe.


    Zhang Fei didn''t greet Liu Bei at the beginning. When he learned that Liu Bei had come back, he rushed out of the county government.


    He stood beside Guan Yu, his eyes widened, his face was surprised, and he asked in a low voice: "second brother, who is the person coming? The elder brother greets him personally


    Guan Yu said in a low voice: "Xiangyang, Mr. pound!"


    "Oh, Lord pound. It''s just LORD pound. There''s no need to meet him personally. Our elder brother is now the emperor''s uncle. "


    Zhang Fei''s face showed a trace of disdain.


    In Xinye, Zhang Fei knew something about Jingzhou. He knew that Pang Degong was a famous scholar in Xiangyang, but in Zhang Fei''s mind, Liu Bei was the great uncle of Han Dynasty.


    On the status of identity theory, Liu Bei far exceeds Pang Degong and thinks that Liu Bei does not need to meet.


    Guan Yu glared at Zhang Fei and said in a low voice, "if you can''t speak, just shut up. It''s not unreasonable for you to stay in the county government. Go back and stay by yourself."


    Zhang Fei said with a smile, "I don''t speak, I don''t speak."


    For Guan Yu, Zhang Fei is also afraid.


    The curtain of the carriage door rolled up and Lord pound stepped down from the carriage.


    Liu beilian said hastily: "Han left general Yicheng Pavilion Marquis leads Yuzhou Mu Huang uncle Liu Bei to meet Pang Gong."


    This etiquette is even more impeccable.


    Liu Bei''s salute to Mr. pound was a real 90 degree bow. His eyes were sincere, his face respected and his every move was heartbreaking.


    More importantly, as soon as Liu Bei opened his mouth, he was the left General of the Han Dynasty, the Marquis of Yicheng Pavilion, who led the Yuzhou animal husbandry.


    In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the rank of general was the first, above the three gongs.


    For example, after the death of Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he Jin lived in the general''s army with great power. Another example is Yuan Shao''s hegemony over Jizhou and his official position in the general army.


    Their rights and positions are first-class.


    Under the general, there were general Hushi, general chariot and general Wei. These three positions were equal to the rank of Jiuqing.


    Further down are the front, back, left and right generals, second only to Jiuqing.


    As soon as Liu Bei came up, he was general Zuo. First of all, it shows that his official position is very high.


    Most importantly, he named himself the emperor''s uncle.


    After a series of respectful salutes, Liu saluted. Just think about it, a left general is the emperor''s uncle, bowing in person, which shows Liu Bei''s respect.


    This kind of etiquette is so frustrating that we can''t find a single fault.


    "It''s very polite of you, uncle Liu," he said


    Liu beilian said: "Pang Gongde has high expectations and is kind to the elderly. He deserves it, deserves it."


    At this time, Liu Xiu came down from the carriage.


    With a smile, Pang pointed to Liu Xiu and said, "uncle Liu, this is my disciple Liu Xiu. This time, he and I went to Xu county together to celebrate the emperor''s birthday. "


    Liu Bei''s eyes were surprised, and he couldn''t help but be overjoyed. He hurriedly said: "the name of xiugongzi has long been like thunder.". This year''s drought in Xinye, all rely on repair childe invented the bobbin car, lifted the crisis of the people. On behalf of the people in Xinye, Liu Bei expressed his thanks to master Xiu. "


    With that, Liu Bei would bow his hand.


    Liu Xiu quickly reached out to help Liu Bei and said modestly, "uncle Liu, I can''t help you. It''s just that Liu Xiu did what he should do to make the bobbin car. It''s not worth mentioning. "


    Liu Bei''s face looked sincere. With Liu Xiu''s help, he stood up and said, "Mr. Xiu is too modest, and his literary talent is admired by him. Today, Mr. Xiu''s visit to Xinye has made Xinye county more prosperous. "


    He had a bright smile on his face, as if he was really happy with the arrival of Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu saw it in his eyes, but he knew in his heart that it was the same with everyone Liu Bei saw.


    This is already Liu Bei''s style.


    No matter who it is, Liu Bei can always find reasons for respect, or Liu Bei can always make the other party feel at home, giving birth to the feeling of confidant.


    After a brief introduction, the party entered the county government.


    When the guests and guests were seated, Liu Bei picked up the wine bottle and said, "Pang Gong passed through Xinye county. It''s a great blessing for Liu Bei to take care of Pang Gong. Mr. Pang, Mr. Xiu and Mr. Wen represent the people of Xinye county. I wish Mr. Pang a pleasant journey to Xu county. "


    "Please


    Liu Bei drank the wine in one gulp with a sleeve.


    "Thank you very much," said pound with a smile


    With these words, pound also drank the wine in the bottle.


    Liu Xiu sat at the bottom. After drinking, he found wenpin sitting still, not drinking.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu''s heart moved slightly.


    Liu Bei also found out and asked, "general wenpin, is it because he is not fit to drink? If that''s the case, Bei will arrange the attendant to prepare the tea immediately. "Wenpin looked serious and said, "the Lord asked Ben to protect Pang Gong''s safety. It''s his duty. I dare not drink. Please forgive me."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were full of admiration.


    Judging from this detail, wenpin is a well deserved general in Jingzhou.


    Liu Bei is also very appreciative, immediately ordered people to prepare tea in front of wenpin.


    After drinking a glass of wine, Guan Yu looks red. He looked at Wen pin, nodded slightly, and his eyes showed admiration. On the contrary, Zhang Fei curled his mouth and then drank.


    Liu Bei as the host, he arranged the banquet, no singing and dancing, but the atmosphere was quite warm.


    In words, Pang Degong, Liu Xiu and Wen pin were all taken care of.


    In particular, Liu Bei''s eloquence is very attractive. He had been under Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, Tao Qian, Cao Cao and others, and was familiar with the situation in the north.


    It''s a feast for the guests.


    Liu Xiu personally participated in it, and he admired it in his heart.


    Not to mention Liu Bei''s other abilities, his words and manners, and the cooperation of his subordinates, Jian Yong and sun Qian, all made Liu Xiu admire him.


    The only regret is that Liu Xiu didn''t see Zhao Yun during the dinner.


    At night, Pang Degong, Liu Xiu and wenpin lived in different places.


    Pang Degong is a separate yard, and Liu Xiu and wenpin are a separate yard. Liu Bei specifically explained this arrangement, saying that Pound''s courtyard had only one bedroom, while Liu Xiu and wenpin''s courtyard had only two bedrooms, which could only be arranged separately.


    Liu Wenbei and Liu wenpin naturally can''t explain.


    However, Liu Xiu saw Liu Bei''s purpose. In the evening, Liu Bei would visit pound alone.


    Liu Xiu was lying on the bed, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn''t sleep.


    Seeing Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Xiu knows that Liu Bei has made countless efforts and overcome numerous difficulties to get to the present day.


    Liu Xiu understood that the road he had to take was also very difficult.


    It is not easy to rise Jingzhou and go north to defeat Cao Cao.


    The road ahead is bumpy, but when he meets Liu Bei, Liu Xiu knows that his experiences and difficulties are far inferior to those of Liu Bei. Liu Bei didn''t give up from beginning to end, and he was indomitable.


    Liu Bei is all like this, what reason does he have to give up?


    He simply turned over, sat up, put on a piece of clothing, and went out of the yard to enjoy the cool.


    Moonlight, a burly figure sitting in the shade.


    After Liu Xiu saw it, he put a smile on his face and said, "general Wen, the night is already deep. Why are you still sitting in the shade of a tree and can''t sleep?"


    On Wen pin''s tight face, he showed a smile and said, "master Xiu didn''t sleep."

 Chapter 56

    Liu Xiu looked up at the starry sky beside wenpin.


    The starry sky in July is full of stars. The moonlight is bright and beautiful.


    Wenpin looked at the young people around him, with a trace of meditation in his eyes. Before Lu Su and sun Ren challenged Jingzhou, Wen pin only knew Liu Biao had three sons, only knew Liu Qi and Liu Cong, did not know Liu Xiu''s name, and had never met Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu''s first encounter with sun Ren was Wen pin''s.


    Wenpin is very appreciative of his excellent swordsmanship.


    As a martial artist, wenpin is naturally closer to martial artists, especially Liu Xiu''s swordsmanship, which makes wenpin appreciate Liu Xiu very much.


    Then there was the meeting of Lianxiang building.


    In front of Jingzhou literati, Liu Xiu made a great success and won a lot of prizes.


    Since then, Wen pin has often heard people mention Liu Xiu and praise his literary talent. Although Wen pin is a martial arts person, he is proficient in military tactics and is also a scholar.


    Liu Xiu''s literary talent made Wen pin admire him.


    With the appearance of the bobbin car, Wen pin knew that Liu Xiu''s name had taken root in the hearts of civil and military officials in Jingzhou. From a father does not like his brother does not pro concubine son, step by step come to prominence.


    The hardships are not humane.


    In addition to the Wenjia village, wenpin has a very good impression of Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu asked, "general Zhongye, how is wenjiacun now?"


    Referring to wenjiacun, wenpin answered with a smile: "the drought in Wencun has already been solved. After the promotion of xiugongzi''s bobbin car, the villagers in Wencun are even more grateful to xiugongzi. The villagers in Wen village are quarreling, saying that they want to thank Mr. Xiu in person. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "the villagers of Wen village are so enthusiastic."


    After a pause, Liu xiudao said, "actually, I don''t understand."


    "Why not?" Wen pin asked.


    Liu xiudao: "general Zhongye is a first-class general in Jingzhou. As long as you say hello, Wencun won''t be bullied. Why is general Zhongye so low-key? It is not a bad thing to give proper help to the people, nor is it a bullying. "


    Wenpin zhengse said: "I am respected by my Lord. With his help, I have given Wen village a place to settle down, which has been taken extra care of. If I say hello again, I''m afraid that people in the village will gradually feel arrogant. "


    "When the time comes, the rest of the villagers will be bullied."


    "Now it seems that they can live without my care. Isn''t that good?"


    "Villagers are used to the present day, and they are also used to solving problems by themselves."


    "This is the best result." Wenpin said: "there are no good people. I can help them for the time being, but I can''t care for them all the time. Without me, they are just as good, which is good. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "there is a certain truth in the general''s words. This man, he has to rely on himself. "


    Wenpin said, "why do you have to go to Xu county? If we don''t go to Xu county, maybe there won''t be any danger. After going to Xu county, I''m afraid I can''t make my own decisions about many things. At that time, I can''t help myself. Especially in Xu county, I''m afraid every move will be monitored and even more concerned. If you don''t pay attention, you will make mistakes. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "general Zhongye, although it is difficult to go to Xu county, it is also a good thing, not necessarily a bad thing."


    Wenpin pondered and said, "on the other hand, it''s good." After a pause, wenpin asked: "Mr. Xiu, I''m asking a question that shouldn''t be asked. If you don''t answer, you will


    Liu Xiu''s face became cautious and said, "general Zhongye, please say it!"


    At this time, Liu Xiu knew that the question wenpin wanted to ask was probably a more sensitive one.


    Wenpin asked: "is Mr. Xiu going to fight for the succession of Jingzhou?"


    In a word, go straight to the subject.


    In Jingzhou, this is the most sensitive topic.


    Even though Liu Qi and Liu Congming fight on the surface or secretly, they never mention it. After all, Liu Biao is still alive, now on the table fighting, easy to cause Liu Biao dissatisfaction.


    Wen pin''s words pierced the whole story.


    Liu Xiu was silent for a while and said, "yes, I''m going to fight for it."


    Wen pin sighed and shook his head.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu''s heart moved. Did Wen pin know something?


    Liu Xiu asked, "why does the general shake his head?"


    Wenpin hesitated for a while, hesitated again and again, and said, "young master Xiu, give up."


    "Why?"


    Liu Xiu had a curious look in his eyes.


    Is it true that Liu Biao has already made it clear that Liu Xiu will not inherit Jingzhou? In fact, Liu Xiu didn''t even think about letting Liu Biao decide that he would inherit Jingzhou.


    With Liu Biao''s character, it is impossible for the common sons to inherit Jingzhou.


    This doomed Liu Xiu''s road to be very difficult.But no matter what, Liu Xiu must fight and do for himself and Jingzhou for a future.


    Wenpin replied: "the successor of Jingzhou was Liu Qi, the eldest son. Today, master Cong is his favorite. Although there is no definite conclusion, it is basically certain. "


    After a pause, wenpin said: "it''s impossible for xiugongzi to inherit Jingzhou. The reason why he was born was because he was a young man. This cannot be changed. "


    Liu Xiu began to laugh. He didn''t lose half of his face.


    He had expected this arrangement for a long time.


    In other words, in the last life, he already knew the result, which must be inherited by Liu Cong.


    Wenpin asked, "why is Mr. Xiu laughing?"


    Liu Xiu said: "thank you for your advice. But does general Zhongye know? Some things, not to see the hope to work hard, but to work hard, it is possible to see hope, will not let themselves down


    Wen pin was silent when he heard the speech.


    For Liu Biao''s three sons, he believes that Liu Xiu is the most capable and talented.


    Because of his family background, Liu Xiu could not inherit Jingzhou.


    Liu Xiu sat cross legged, lifted his robes, put his hands on his thighs, and said, "has general Zhongye ever heard a word?"


    Wenpin said, "what are you talking about?"


    Liu Xiu looked up at the starry sky and looked at the stars. He said slowly, "if there is a will, there will be a way. If you break the bridge and sink the boat, the hundred and two Qinguan pass will belong to Chu. If you work hard, heaven will bear the burden. If you stay on your salary and taste the gall, you will be able to swallow Wu with three thousand talents."


    In a word, wenpin was shocked.


    Looking at Liu Xiu, there was an incredible look in his eyes.


    "Where there is a will, there is a way. Break the bridge and sink the boat. Qin pass belongs to Chu."


    "The painstaking efforts of the people and the heaven will bear the burden. The three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu."


    Wenpin whispered Liu Xiu''s words, and his eyes became brighter.


    In the words, Wen pin saw Liu Xiu''s indomitable temperament and his great ambition. Xiang Yu broke his bridges and destroyed the Qin Dynasty, and Gou Jian swallowed the kingdom of Wu.


    Both of them are ambitious.


    Wenpin thought that Liu Xiu was fighting for the inheritance of Jingzhou.


    Now it seems that Liu Xiu''s ambition has been underestimated.


    This is not a place where Jingzhou can accommodate Liu Xiu. There will always be a powerful day.


    Liu Xiu didn''t know what wenpin was thinking. He went on: "in terms of birth, Liu Bangyi, the founder of Gaozu, was the one who swept the troubled times and helped the world. Compared with Gaozu, I''m the son of the Lord of Jingzhou. I have a lot of resources to use. "


    "In terms of hardships and hardships, Liu Bei is still living under his father''s command. Isn''t it bleak? He ran into a wall everywhere, defeated many times, but never gave up. What I''m facing is only the second brother''s pressure, which is not worth mentioning. "


    "Besides, I have the help of my teacher."


    "I also have people who support me and love me. I''m not alone, I''m not alone."


    Liu Xiu looked at Wen pin and said, "general Zhong ye, do you think I have any reason to give up?"


    Wen pin has great admiration for Liu Xiu.


    Now, he really understood Liu Xiu.


    Wenpin zhengse way: "xiugongzi is reasonable, no matter what, also can''t give up." After a pause, wenpin said: "if you need something, you can come to me. As long as it is within my power, I will never refuse. "


    "General, thank you very much, Liu Xiu."


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he was very happy.


    Wenpin is Liu Biao''s personal leader and confidant.


    Now, Wen pin is on Liu Xiu''s side in disguise. However, it is impossible for wenpin to make a statement because he is Liu Biao''s confidant.


    "Xiyuyu!"


    All of a sudden, the neighing of the horses came from the county government.


    In the voice, there was pain and irritability.


    "It''s the sound of thunder. It''s not good. There must be something wrong with thunder, otherwise it won''t hiss in the middle of the night."


    In wenpin''s eyes, there was a trace of urgency.


    Benlei was his horse, wenpin''s horse, and Liu Biao bought it from the north. He gave it to wenpin as a mount.


    "Come on, let''s go to the stable."


    Liu Xiu, with a sharp look in his eyes, went out of the yard with Wen pin and ran to the stable.

 Chapter 57

    In the stable, a big man stood drunk.


    This man has a swallow chin and a tiger beard, a tiger back and a bear waist, and his eyes are wide open with a strong murderous air. He stood in the stable, muttering, but full of wine.


    This is Zhang Fei.


    Liu Bei takes over Pang Degong, and Zhang Fei finally has a chance to drink.


    On weekdays, Liu Bei banned Zhang Fei from drinking.


    As of today, Zhang Fei has been drinking for more than a month, which is greedy for Zhang Fei.


    Liu Bei held a banquet to help pound clean up the dust. Zhang Fei could drink honestly, but he was addicted during the day. In particular, Liu Bei is busy talking with pound bus, but he has to take care of Liu Xiu and wenpin''s ideas. No one cares about Zhang Fei.


    The result is Zhang Fei''s own consideration.


    After the banquet, Zhang Fei was already drunk and swaggered out of the hall.


    Zhang Fei is in a daze, wandering around.


    I came to the stable by accident.


    Unexpectedly, I saw a bloody BMW in the stable. The whole body of the horse was black, and there was no mottle on it. Its fur was as smooth as satin.


    After Zhang Fei saw it, he fell in love with the horse at a glance.


    He went into the fence, released the rope of the horse, and led the horse to come out.


    Unexpectedly, the horse did not move, did not listen to his call, and did not walk out of the fence.


    Under the roar of Zhang Fei, he swung his fist and smashed it down. Two punches down, the horse hissed, pain hissed, that pair of huge horse eyes, but the eyes stubborn, did not move, still do not go out of the fence.


    Zhang Fei is very angry and angry.


    "Son of a bitch, it''s your blessing that grandfather Zhang takes a fancy to you. You are such a bad animal that you are not obedient."


    Zhang Fei pulled the reins of the horse and thought about the way to subdue the horses. After thinking about it, Zhang Fei had no choice but to pat his horse on the back and yell, "if you don''t go, I''ll clean you up."


    Zhang Fei tugged at the reins, but the horse remained motionless.


    "Look for a fight!"


    Zhang Fei swung his fist and went on again.


    Boom!


    The fist blows on the horse, and the horse hisses.


    After wenpin and Liu Xiu entered the stable, they happened to see Zhang Fei beating benlei. In a flash, Wen pin got angry and roared: "Zhang Fei, you stole my horses, you deceived people too much, you will die."


    Wenpin runs quickly and rushes directly to Zhang Fei.


    As a general on the battlefield, zhanma is wenpin''s brother. Seeing Zhang Fei bullying Ben Lei, you can imagine his anger.


    It''s late, it''s fast.


    In the blink of an eye, wenpin comes to Zhang Fei and blows out with one punch.


    Seeing this, Zhang Fei quickly blocked it.


    "Bang!"


    When they met, Zhang Fei''s eyes were surprised. He seemed to feel incredible. He stepped back and hit his back against the fence of the stable.


    Kick! Kick!


    Wenpin stepped back two steps in a row to stabilize his figure.


    With his back arched, wenpin''s sword eyebrows erect, his anger spurted, his eyes fixed on Zhang Fei, and his eyes showed a trace of fear. However, the thought that benlei was bullied by Zhang Fei, who clearly wanted to steal the horses, made wenpin angry.


    "Kill


    Wenpin roars, his fist goes up, his fist blows out, and his speed is as fast as lightning.


    Zhang Fei stares at Wen pin and shakes his confused head. He clenches his hands into fists and blocks the fist in front of his chest.


    "Boy, take your grandfather Zhang''s move."


    After Zhang Fei blocked it, he stamped his feet, twisted his waist, and turned to his side. His huge body directly hit wenpin.


    Boom!


    Two people impact, Zhang Fei momentum, hit wenpin pedaling back and forth.


    "Take it again!"


    Zhang Fei''s fight rose. With a smile, he clenched his fist in his right hand and rushed to wenpin''s chest like a dragon.


    "Pa!"


    A punch down, hard hit in Wen pin''s chest.


    Wenpin snorted and stepped back two steps in succession, but he couldn''t stabilize himself.


    Zhang Fei chased hard, stepped fast, and hit hard.


    "Boom!"


    Another blow hit wenpin on the chest.


    This punch is powerful, and Zhang Fei doesn''t have the slightest hand. Under the impact of powerful forces, wenpin directly flew out and fell to the ground.


    "Cough! Cough


    Wenpin coughed with his chest covered, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.


    Zhang Fei''s heart has been badly damaged.


    Most importantly, Zhang Fei is powerful. Under the impact of the brutal force, wenpin has excellent skills, but it is difficult to achieve anything. As the saying goes, Zhang Fei''s strength has reached a few steps of ignoring skills.


    Under the impact of strong force, any move skill can be broken directly.


    The anger in Zhang Fei''s eyes was rising, and he was even more intoxicated. He said in a loud voice: "your grandfather Zhang is training his horse at the critical moment, but you run out to stop him. You are impatient. If you want to die, grandfather Zhang will help you. "At this time, Zhang Fei, drunk, did not know wenpin at all.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    Step by step, Zhang Fei approached wenpin with a strong sense of killing in his eyes.


    In Zhang Fei''s eyes, Wen pin is the culprit who prevents him from taming the war horse, and he must win Wen pin.


    Seeing the distance getting closer and closer, wenpin was very nervous.


    Just now, Zhang Fei hit him hard, and even Zhang Fei''s fist hit him, which made wenpin feel weak for a short time, and it was hard for him to stand up and resist.


    What to do?


    Wenpin was very nervous.


    Suddenly, a figure stood in front of wenpin.


    This figure, not big, not tall, is Liu Xiu. Compared with Zhang Fei''s huge body like an iron tower, Liu Xiu is far behind.


    Seeing this, Wen pin said: "don''t go, Mr. Xiu. Zhang Fei can''t fight." Wenpin would rather hurt himself than suffer a heavy blow with Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu looked back at Wen pin, shook his right hand and said, "general Zhong ye, I''m not stupid."


    In Liu Xiu''s hand, he held a big stone.


    Seeing Zhang Fei step by step and Liu Xiu step by step, he rushed up. He stepped on Yin and Yang, running the route, to avoid frontal and Zhang Fei impact.


    People, like vigorous cheetahs, spring up in front of Zhang Fei with an impact.


    "The boy roared:" you look for death In a flash, Zhang Fei made a fist with his right hand and smashed it at Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu''s mouth was cold.


    "Pa!"


    Liu Xiu''s right hand collided with Zhang Fei''s.


    "Chaka! Click


    The sound of finger fracture, clear ring.


    "Ah


    A shrill scream resounded through the stable.


    Drops of blood came from Zhang Fei''s right hand.


    Zhang Fei and Liu Xiu fight, he uses the fist, Liu Xiu uses the stone. One hit, Zhang Fei''s fist, completely hit the stone.


    Strong strength, so that the stone cracked, but Zhang Fei''s fingers, but also a fracture.


    "Boy, I''m going to kill you."


    Zhang Fei roared, clenched his left hand and slammed it down.


    Confused Zhang Fei, all fight by instinct.


    A pair of red eyes, like mad cow general, showing cold and crazy.


    Liu Xiu throws away the broken stone in his hand. As Zhang Fei hits it, his body suddenly approaches Zhang Fei. As soon as the two sides get close, Zhang Fei will stop fighting Liu Xiu, but after all, he drinks wine and reacts slowly.


    at this moment, Liu Xiu''s hands grab Zhang Fei''s clothes on his shoulder.


    "Get up!"


    Liu Xiu roared and made a sudden effort.


    In a flash, Zhang Fei''s huge body was directly lifted up, then flew over Liu Xiu''s head and hit the ground.


    Boom!


    Strong impact, huge force, the ground is shaking.


    Zhang Fei was lying on the ground, his whole body seemed to be falling apart, and his face showed a look of pain.


    "Who dares to bully my third brother? I will die."


    Just then, a loud voice came from the stable.


    Guan Yu was dressed in a parrot green robe. Danfeng''s eyes stood upright. One hand was in front of the other, and the other was behind him. He rushed over. At this time, Liu Xiu turned his back to Guan Yu. For a moment, Guan Yu didn''t see clearly that it was Liu Xiu.


    There is only one idea in Guan Yu''s mind.


    Zhang Fei is his third brother. No one can bully him.

 Chapter 58

    "Step on it! Step on it! Step on it


    Guan Yu''s steps are swift and fast. Every step on the ground makes the ground vibrate.


    Step by step, the prestige is growing.


    With the approach of distance, Guan Yu''s momentum is overwhelming, which is even more irresistible.


    Guan Yu''s martial arts tend to be explosive in a moment after accumulating power. He accumulates enough strength to impact, even if Zhang Fei is born with divine power, he has to retreat by three points.


    Before he got close, Liu Xiu felt the cold killing.


    Liu Xiu turned and faced Guan Yu. His thin body was motionless.


    His face was cold.


    Eyes, calm.


    Zhang Fei won because he was drunk.


    Guan Yu is conscious. He fights with Guan Yu skillfully. Liu Xiu doesn''t plan to fight.


    In a flash, the fist was less than a foot in front of him.


    "Young master Xiu, get out of the way."


    Wenpin is very anxious. Once Liu Xiu is hit by this blow, he will lie down for at least ten days and a half months. At that time, Liu Xiu can''t go to Xu county with him, so there must be a problem.


    However, Liu Xiu is still immobile.


    Guan Yu saw the face of the man who hit Zhang Fei, and was shocked to see that it was Liu Xiu.


    Put your foot in the air and close your fist.


    Whoo!


    A gust of wind blew in front of Liu Xiu''s face. Three inches in front of the face, Guan Yu''s fist finally stopped.


    Liu Xiu''s mouth was smiling and his eyes didn''t blink.


    Right bet!


    Liu Xiu gambled that Guan Yu did not dare to start, and so it was.


    Guan Yu stares at Liu Xiu and is moved to see that Liu Xiu is immobile. It''s not easy to be calm and calm under his fist.


    Guan Yu closed his fist and saw Zhang Fei lying on the ground groaning. His eyes flashed a sharp look. He asked: "master Xiu is the son of Liu Jingzhou. He has a noble status, but he hurt my third brother for no reason. This matter must be explained."


    Guan Yu carries his hands and suppresses his anger.


    Guan Yu admired pound.


    But for Liu Xiu, Guan Yu was contemptuous or contemptuous. Liu Biao is just a dog guarding the house. How can Liu Biao''s son be competent?


    As a result, Guan Yu disdained Liu Xiu.


    Guan Yu still looks down on Liu Xiu even though he doesn''t look up to his fists.


    Liu Xiu sneered and said, "Guan Yu, your eyes only see Zhang Fei injured. Don''t you see general Wen lying on the ground injured?"


    At this time, Liu Xiucai helped wenpin stand up.


    Liu Xiu continued: "when general Guan comes here, he not only fights hard, but also asks for punishment. What a prestige. I would like to ask you, how does Liu Bei teach the people below? Is this Xinye county government a den of thieves


    Guan Yu said coldly, "Liu Xiu, what do you mean?"


    Up to now, Guan Yu doesn''t know the situation, but he doesn''t think it''s Zhang Fei who caused the trouble.


    "What happened?"


    Suddenly, a soft voice came from outside the stable.


    Liu Bei and Pang Degong came together, but there was a trace of anger in Liu Bei''s eyes.


    It''s hard for him to come to Xinye county. He even put him in a yard to visit him. Just as he was chatting with Mr. pound, a servant came to report that there was a fight in the stable.


    Liu Bei had no choice but to deal with it immediately.


    Mr. pound learned about the situation and followed him.


    Guan Yu helped Zhang Fei up and reported: "brother, as soon as I entered the stable, I saw Liu Xiu throw his third brother to the ground. Brother, please look at the third brother''s right hand. It''s bloody. The situation is very serious. This kind of means is too cruel. All this is thanks to Liu Xiu. "


    In Liu Bei''s eyes, there was a sharp flash.


    However, he stares at Zhang Fei, but there is a trace of doubt in his eyes.


    What''s the matter with all this?


    Liu Bei is not impatient, because he knows that Liu Xiu should not take the initiative to cause trouble.


    Liu Xiu looked neither humble nor haughty, and said: "I thought Guan Yu was a martial arts man, but now it seems that he is very scheming. As soon as Xuande came up, the villains complained first. Xuande Gong''s brothers really have their own characteristics. Guan Yu''s villains complain first, but Zhang Fei is unreasonable. "


    The irony in the words made Liu Bei very uncomfortable.


    However, Liu Bei had a bad feeling in his mind. He smelled the strong wine.


    The source of this wine is from Zhang Fei.


    For a moment, Liu Bei probably had a score in his mind. I''m afraid Zhang Fei caused trouble after drinking.


    Liu Bei said: "Mr. Xiu, in Liu Bei''s eyes, only facts are fair and will not favor anyone. So, can you tell me what happened? "


    Liu Xiu pointed to Zhang Fei and said, "the reason is hello, third brother Zhang Fei."


    "This evening, I was chatting with general Zhongye in the yard when I heard his horse roaring. That voice is really sad. You can hear it in the county government. ""General Zhongye and I came to see Zhang Fei beating benlei, muttering that we should tame the benlei horse and take it for ourselves. Ha, it''s really funny."


    "The galloping thunder horse is general Zhongye''s mount. General Zhongye treats it like his brother."


    "When general Zhongye saw that the thunder was beaten, he couldn''t help it. He came forward to stop him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei responded directly with his fist, and general Zhongye was seriously injured. "


    Liu Xiu said: "Zhang Fei is powerful and unforgiving. He hurt general Zhongye, but he pressed him step by step and said he would kill general Zhongye. But then I stood up. "


    "Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei said that even I would kill him."


    "I can''t even compare with general Zhongye in martial arts, so I picked up a stone to deal with it."


    "Zhang Fei wants to kill me. I''ll fight with a stone."


    "Then Zhang Fei''s hand hit the stone and broke. Then Guan Yu saw me fall and Zhang Fei fell


    Liu Xiu stared at Liu Bei and said in a deep voice, "Xuande Gong, I don''t believe that Zhang Fei wants to kill me. I don''t believe Zhang Fei wants to kill general Zhongye. Because I know that Zhang Fei is drunk and crazy. "


    "However, you can''t just drink wine, you can go around at will, you can take a fancy to other people''s horses, and you should take it for yourself."


    "It''s even more inappropriate to drink and be drunk and kill people."


    Liu Xiu continued: "Xuande Gong I''s reputation can''t be destroyed just because of this. I will not pursue this matter. I just hope that after coming down, Xuande will teach Zhang Fei a lot. At least they are tens of years old. They have more self-control. "


    Guan Yu clenched his fist.


    Liu Xiu said, the responsibility is all on Zhang Fei.


    Even this is Zhang Fei''s fault.


    Liu Xiu''s injury to Zhang Fei has been completely exposed.


    After hearing this, Liu Bei sighed in his heart and secretly scolded Zhang Fei for drinking.


    Facing Liu Xiu, Liu Bei said: "it''s Zhang Fei''s fault, young master Xiu and general Wen. In the final analysis, it is my elder brother who is not strict in discipline. Liu Bei apologizes to the two here. If they have any conditions, he will make up for them. "


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "that''s all. That''s it."


    Wen pin coughed softly and said, "I hope General Liu will restrain Zhang Fei and do his best."


    Liu Bei repeatedly thanks and looks at Pang Degong, who is coming with him. He apologizes and says, "Pang Gong, I''m really sorry for the trouble. Let Pang Gong see the joke."


    "It''s all small things, it''s not worth mentioning. Let''s talk about it. Let''s call it a day. Uncle Liu, take people back to rest. "


    "Thank you, Pang Gong!"


    Liu Bei waves and quickly takes Guan Yu and Zhang Fei back.


    Pang Degong left with Liu Xiu and wenpin and went to his residence.

 Chapter 59

    In the courtyard where Liu Bei lives, Guan Yu stands, but his face is tense.


    The attendant brought cold water, washed Zhang Fei''s face, dealt with the injury of his right hand, and finally gave Zhang Fei wine and tea. When Zhang Fei wakes up, he feels the pain of his right hand and hisses.


    Liu Bei has a straight face, his eyes are no longer soft, sharp as a knife.


    The look in his eyes frightened Zhang Fei.


    Now sober up, Zhang Fei knows that he has made a big mistake.


    He stood respectfully in front of Liu Bei and said, "brother, I''m wrong. This time, I was really wrong. I didn''t expect that to happen


    "What''s wrong with you?" Liu Bei asked.


    At this time, Liu Bei''s anger burned three Zhang high, hoping to kill Zhang Fei.


    It is a helpless move for Liu Bei to stay in Xinye.


    Having been in Xinye for such a long time, he knew that his situation was not good.


    When Pang Degong came, Liu Bei was full of joy and planned to take this opportunity to ask Pang Degong for advice. Originally, their conversation began to get down to business. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei''s story upset all Liu Bei''s plans.


    Zhang Fei and Liu Xiu are in conflict!


    Guan Yu and Liu Xiu are in conflict!


    In this case, it is equivalent to a conflict between Liu Bei and Pang Degong.


    Even if Liu Bei apologized, he was no longer embarrassed to knock on Mr. Pound''s door and ask for advice.


    Zhang Fei thought about it carefully and said immediately, "elder brother, I shouldn''t fight wenpin, let alone annoy Liu Xiu and disturb him."


    Liu Bei''s mouth twitched and said with emotion, "third brother, why do you always grow up?"


    Zhang Fei patted his chest and said, "brother, I''m nearly 40 years old."


    Liu Bei glared and yelled, "don''t play with me!"


    Zhang Fei immediately wilted down, lowered his head and said honestly: "brother, I''m wrong. I shouldn''t have been drunk. From today on, I''ll stop drinking and make sure I don''t drink at all. If there is a second offence, let elder brother handle it. "


    Liu Bei''s heart softened when he heard it.


    Although Zhang Fei drank too much, he was his brother after all. He was more loyal to him and never had a second heart.


    Liu Bei asked them to sit down and said, "second brother, third brother, our three brothers have been fighting around since the yellow scarf rebellion. So far, it has been 22 years. Our brother, too, has gone from youth to middle age. "


    "I''m old, but I''m not willing to stay in Xinye and help Liu Biao resist Cao Cao''s army."


    "In the past, Cao Cao and we fought against Huangjin together. Now, Cao Cao dominates the north and looks down on the world. When Huangjin was in trouble, Sun Quan was just born, but now he dominates Jiangdong."


    "Even though Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao are dead, they are still beautiful."


    "Only big brother is incompetent, so that you are also involved."


    In Liu Bei''s eyes, there was a look of sadness.


    After hearing these words, Guan Yu sighed in his heart and looked at the beautiful beard under his jaw. There was also a trace of frost on it. Time has changed. In the past, he was full of spirit. Now he is in middle age.


    Zhang Fei opened his mouth with a trace of guilt on his face and decadent eyes.


    This time, blame him!


    Zhang Fei''s heart is full of regret.


    Liu Bei''s eyes showed a trace of sadness, and he continued: "Pang Degong went to Xinye county. The elder brother wanted to ask Pang Degong for advice and what we should do next to get rid of the current situation."


    "It''s a pity that this happened before we started."


    "Maybe that''s fate. It''s God''s will. I really can''t force it."


    Liu Bei''s words are full of helplessness and exhaustion.


    Zhang Fei was so ashamed that he said, "brother, I''m wrong! I''ll never drink again, I promise


    Guan Yu said: "brother, I''m also wrong about this. When I got to the stable, if I calmed down and didn''t start immediately, I would persuade my third brother and Liu Xiu and apologize to Liu Xiu. Big brother, I didn''t handle it well. "


    As soon as the two brothers apologized, Liu Biao put down his worries.


    If Liu Xiu is offended, pound may feel uncomfortable, but Liu Bei can''t manage it.


    The two people around him, but can''t have a bad heart.


    Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei by the hand, with a smile on his face, and said: "time, life! Since it happened, it can''t be retrieved, and there''s no need to worry about it. "


    After a pause, Liu Bei said again, "we can''t find a way in Pound''s place. We can only look for it again. Some time ago, I heard that there are Wolong and Phoenix chicks in Xiangyang, both of which have outstanding talents. Let''s go to find them again. "


    Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded solemnly after hearing the speech.


    Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei''s hand again and said, "third brother, you must pay attention to the injury of your right hand, and don''t leave future trouble. Liu Xiu seems to be gentle, but he is cruel. He is not an easy person. "


    Zhang Fei was moved in his heart and said, "don''t worry, brother. My skin is rough and my flesh is thick. It''s OK."Liu Bei comforted Guan Yu again, and the three brothers took a rest.


    ¡­¡­


    Pound first settled wenpin, and then took Liu Xiu to the courtyard where he lived.


    In the room, two people sat down.


    Pang Degong stared at Liu Xiu and said in a deep voice, "Xiuer, you are too impulsive tonight."


    Liu xiudao: "please teach me!"


    Pound said: "this evening, Liu Bei came to me to inquire about his way of life. His intention is to get rid of the current situation."


    "It''s just that he won''t come again when something happens to the stable. I''m sorry to ask again. But through the conversation in the evening, Liu Bei''s ambition has been fully revealed. "


    "Liu Bei is a great talent and will never be inferior to others."


    "If he stays under your father''s command for the time being, he will certainly take advantage of the situation to accumulate strength."


    Pang Degong said: "although Liu Bei has other thoughts, for you now, it is also a force that can be used to have a good relationship with Liu Bei and win him over."


    "There is a great hidden danger in seeking the skin of a tiger. But it''s not bad to drive away tigers and swallow wolves. "


    "Liu Bei is a force that can be used."


    "Unfortunately..."


    "You''re too impulsive."


    Pang Degong sighed that Liu Xiu''s treatment at night was not right.


    Liu Xiu was silent for a moment and explained: "teacher, as the saying goes, the two evils are the least, and the two benefits are the most important. If you make good friends with Liu Bei, it will be difficult for general Wen to explain. My choice is Wen pin, not Liu Bei. "


    Pang Degong frowned and said, "wenpin is your father''s confidant. Are you sure you can win him over? It''s not easy. "


    Liu Xiu smile, confident way: "at least 90% of the grasp, can attract wenpin." Immediately, Liu Xiu talked about Wencun, the dialogue in the courtyard, and wenpin''s promise.


    When Pang Degong heard the speech, he showed a smile on his face and praised: "good, good, good!"


    With three good words in a row, Pound''s mood was beyond expression.


    Compared with wooing Liu Bei, Pang Degong also thinks that the value of wooing wenpin is greater. However, pound acknowledged that it was too difficult to win over wenpin. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu had a relationship with wenpin by chance.


    This was not expected by Lord pound.


    In a happy mood, pound said with a smile: "you boy, let me worry about it. With wenpin to help you, no matter what happens in the prefecture, you can take the lead. This is a wonderful game. "


    Liu xiudao: "I''m also a coincidence. I can only say it''s luck."


    "Luck is part of strength," said pound After a pause, pound said: "nothing else. You go down and have a rest. Tomorrow morning, we''ll go on


    "The teacher also has a rest early!"


    Liu Xiu got up and left.

 Chapter 60

    In the morning, at the gate of the county government.


    Wearing armor, wenpin rode on his horse and waited quietly.


    Last night, wenpin was injured by Zhang Fei and his heart was badly damaged. Originally, Liu Xiu asked wenpin to ride in a carriage instead of riding on a horse. But wenpin refused and insisted on riding on a horse. Liu Xiu had no choice but to let him go and no longer interfere in wenpin''s decision.


    Liu Xiu stood behind pound, listening to the talk between Liu Bei and pound.


    Liu Bei''s words are full of reluctance and respect.


    It is true feelings, not hypocritical polite words, that are revealed in speech and behavior.


    The manner was heartbreaking.


    Even if there is some sordid relationship with Liu Bei, Liu Xiu also thinks that Liu Bei''s words and manners are worthy of the first place. Liu Bei''s ability is not as good as Cao Cao''s, but he is too good at being a man. Anyone who meets Liu Bei can''t feel disgusted.


    After being polite, Mr. pound said, "uncle Liu, it''s late. Goodbye."


    With that, pound turned around and got into the carriage.


    Liu Bei said goodbye to Liu Xiu again. Liu Xiu replied politely and politely, and then boarded the carriage.


    "Set out!"


    Wenpin waved the whip and the team moved forward slowly.


    After leaving Xinye County for a short time, the team entered the area under the rule of Cao Cao.


    Every important official road, Cao''s army has set up checkpoints, with Cao Cao''s soldiers guarding for inspection, to strictly prevent sticking to guard, to avoid Jingzhou''s army into the north.


    The people were able to pass without hindrance, but those who led the army forward like Wen pin were inspected.


    However, after wenpin showed his identity, he went through immediately.


    All the way north, there was no problem, and it went very smoothly.


    Compared with the peace of Xinye, under the rule of Cao Cao, the territory of Nanyang County was deserted. Along the way, the villages on the road are sparsely populated, and many people have fled.


    Nanyang County has become a place for Cao Cao and Liu Biao to fight. People will only suffer if they stay.


    So there are too few people left.


    When Pang Degong passed Nanyang and saw the scene outside the window, he suddenly said with emotion: "war is merciless. This is war. Xiuer, in my lifetime, can I see you wipe out the troubled times? Can I see you, Zhongxing man? "


    In a word, Liu Xiu was even more surprised.


    Pound''s words came so suddenly that he didn''t even have a trace of preparation.


    Liu xiuxuan recovered his calm and said: "the teacher is in good health and has a long life. I''m sure I can see it." After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "teacher, I have always had an idea in my mind since I left Xiangyang."


    "What do you think?" Asked Mr. pound.


    In Pound''s eyes, Liu Xiu''s maturity did not match his age, which pound appreciated.


    Liu Xiu said: "after returning to Xiangyang, I want to be an official, and I don''t want to stay in Xiangyang any more."


    "Why do you suddenly have such an idea?"


    There was a trace of curiosity in Pound''s eyes.


    In fact, Mr. pound has already considered Liu Xiu''s future planning.


    Liu Xiu wanted to take advantage of the situation, to protect Jingzhou, to clean up the mountains and rivers, to wipe out the troubled times, and to stay in the prefecture or lumen mountain all the time. The development was too slow.


    Compared with Sun Quan and others, Liu Xiu has been a lot slower and must seize the opportunity as soon as possible.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were shining with fine light.


    After pondering for a moment, Liu Xiu said slowly: "first, stay in Xiangyang, there is no real army that belongs to me."


    "Food is the foundation of a war. And if I want to have a foothold, it is the army, a force that belongs to me. No matter how my army commands, duckweed has no power on the water. "


    "So I want to be an official and form my own power."


    Liu Xiu looked sharp in his eyes and continued: "second, Cao Cao has pacified Bingzhou. When he has thoroughly suppressed some small rebellions in Jizhou and Bingzhou, and the situation in the North has been completely stabilized, he will inevitably go south. If I stay in lumen mountain and Xiangyang all the time, it will be a waste of time. There''s too little time left for me. "


    "Third, it is meaningless to compete with Liu Qi and Liu Cong for the inheritance right of Jingzhou. My father can''t let me inherit Jingzhou, so the only way is to lay the foundation


    Liu Xiu had a general idea of the way forward.


    After hearing this, Pang Degong nodded and said, "the idea of opening up and giving up fighting with Liu Cong are all good ideas. This can be done with the Cai family and Liu Cong. It''s just, where do you want to go? That''s the key. "


    Liu Xiu said, "my favorite place is Jiangxia."


    Pound shook his head and said, "no way!"


    "Why?"


    There was a trace of doubt in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    In his previous life, Liu Qi went to Jiangxia and gained a foothold in Jiangxia''s water army and part of the army.


    This is what Liu Xiu did for himself.Pang Degong analyzed: "Jiangxia huangzu is your father''s confidant. Moreover, Jiangxia water army is the most important. You said, "if you go to Jiangxia, can you grasp the most important position?"


    "Cai Mao''s eyes are venomous. He can see the importance of Jiang Xia. He won''t agree with you to go. He won''t let you threaten Liu Cong."


    "Moreover, Huang Zu is as important as Wen pin."


    "Wenpin is your father''s confidant and an important person to protect your father''s safety. Huang Zu is an important figure in the Jingzhou Navy, and he is also the master of the contact between Jingzhou and Jiangdong. This is the key to the fate of Jingzhou. Your father can''t let you in. "


    Pound Fair: "no matter how, you are difficult to go to Jiangxia office."


    Liu xiudao: "what if we operate it?"


    Mr. pound shook his head and said, "I don''t suggest you run this business, because in my opinion, Jiangxia is not a good place."


    Liu xiudao: "Jiangxia is the gateway of Jingzhou, why not?"


    For Jiang Xia, Liu Xiu still feels good.


    Pang Degong explained: "first, Sun Quan will not let go of Jiangxia, which is a strategic area. He will attack Jiangxia frequently and there are too many wars. Once there is a mistake in Jiang Xia''s war, you may be charged, but the gain is not worth the loss. "


    "Second, Huang Zu has been in Jiangxia for many years, and his relationship is intertwined. It''s too difficult for you to get a foothold in Jiangxia. "


    "Third, Jiangxia''s strategic depth is not enough. Once Cao''s army goes south, what will you take as the rear? At that time, will you rely on Jiang Xia to resist? Even if you make an alliance with Sun Quan, it''s just Jiangxia. Is the initiative in your hands? "


    Pound continued to analyze: "Jiangxia, no matter what plan, is not suitable to go." After a pause, Mr. pound asked again, "have you ever considered being an official, and what kind of official position have you held?"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "what I want to consider is at least the magistrate of a county, and the biggest is the prefect of a county."


    "Can you be the governor of Jiangxia?" asked pound


    Liu Xiu shook his head and sighed.


    In a short period of time, huangzu will not die, and Jiangxia Prefecture will not be vacant.


    Pound just: "in Jiangxia County, as a magistrate, what forces can you control?"


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu took a deep breath and said, "please teach me!"


    After listening to pound''s analysis, Liu Xiucai felt that his idea was too idealistic, just wishful thinking.


    Everything is difficult to achieve.


    Pound said solemnly, "it''s very difficult, even almost impossible, for you to live as a prefect. After all, Jingzhou County Sheriff, there are candidates, there is no vacancy. Therefore, I think that your official position can only be placed on the magistrate of a county, and the magistrate is easy to arrange. "


    "Second, in addition to serving as a county magistrate, he must have the right to intervene in military power, so he must supervise officials. The best official position is to supervise the post. You are the magistrate and the postmaster of a county. "


    Pound said justly: "in this way, you can run a county and have your own foundation. Moreover, you have the right to intervene in other counties when you supervise one county. "


    Liu Xiu''s face, showing a look of sincere conviction, said: "or the teacher''s comprehensive consideration."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu asked again: "the official position has been decided, and the key lies in where to choose. If you don''t choose a place to be an official, it will have a great impact on the future. "

 Chapter 61

    Pound just color way: "You county of Changsha County, is your foothold."


    "Changsha County, you county?"


    There was a trace of doubt in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    Liu Xiu was also very clear about the territory of Jingzhou. Changsha county belongs to the four counties in the south of Jingzhou. Its geographical position is relatively south.


    "Are you familiar with the map of Jingzhou?" asked pound


    "Familiar!"


    Liu Xiu didn''t even think about it and answered directly.


    Pang Degong nodded slightly and said, "just be familiar with the map. I don''t have to draw a picture to analyze it directly."


    Liu Xiu nodded, with a cautious look on his face.


    Pound said: "in Pound''s eyes, there is a light of wisdom.


    Since Liu Xiu has chosen to be his teacher, he has to consider it.


    Liu Xiu came to the conclusion after a long time of thinking.


    Liu Xiu nodded solemnly, with a convincing look in his eyes.


    After thinking about Pang Degong''s analysis, Liu xiudao said: "the geographical location of Changsha county is indeed that it can advance and retreat. Because it borders on Sun Quan, there will certainly be many wars. This is the opportunity to make contributions. The teacher''s analysis is very reasonable. "


    Pound raised his middle and index fingers and said, "second, Changsha County has its own advantages."


    "In Changsha County, there is Dongting Lake."


    "Dongting Lake is a natural place for military training. Through Dongting Lake, you can ensure that your navy is good at fighting. "


    "It is necessary to have a foothold in Jingzhou or Jiangnan."


    "As for the cavalry going north, that''s another consideration."


    "What''s more, Dongting Lake is so vast that it''s hard to search for such a wide lake. You can hide soldiers."


    "No matter how many troops you have, you can hide. After you go to Changsha, as long as your father is still there, you can''t show your ambition, you have to hide your troops. So, Dongting Lake is a place to hide. "


    "Whether it''s military training or Tibetan military training, Changsha county is the best choice."


    Pound''s second point is to hide and train his troops.


    Liu Xiu agrees with this.


    Liu Xiu listened carefully, but also wrote down and thought carefully. Pound''s words were what he needed to digest.


    Pound continued: "the third point is the advantage of you County in Changsha County."


    "You county was chosen because there is an elite army stationed in you county. The leader is Liu Pan and the assistant is tiger General Huang Zhong."


    "The reason why this army is stationed in you county is to guard against Sun Quan in Jiangdong."


    "Whether Liu Pan or Huang Zhong, they are all tiger generals."


    "If you can take it for your own use, your first army will be settled."


    Pound said in detail: "Huang Zhong is a tiger general, needless to say. According to the information I got, Huang Zhong''s martial arts, Sabre skills and archery are invincible in Jingzhou. "


    "As for Liu Pan, he is your cousin."


    "Liu Pan is a regular man and a tiger general."


    Pound said: "it''s up to you to accept them. What I can do for you is to give you the best chance. As long as you are the magistrate of you County, you can contact them. "


    Liu Xiu had a flash in his eyes. He didn''t expect that there was such a situation in you county.


    Liu Xiu did not take this into consideration.


    Liu Xiu first thought about Jiangxia because of its natural geographical location, but he forgot that he could not succeed without an army and no one under his command.


    Pound''s plan directly solved these problems.


    Liu Xiu admired Pang Degong even more.


    Pound''s plan can be described as a thorough one, taking into account all aspects of the situation.


    Pang Degong continued: "the fourth point is Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha. I have a good relationship with Han Xuan. If you go to Changsha County as magistrate, Han Xuan should give me at least three points of thin noodles. "


    "Han Xuan was an official and loved the people like a son, but he was not good at military affairs."


    "Most officials who love the people have one characteristic, that is, they are too soft hearted to see the people suffer."


    "Officials who are not good at military affairs also have a characteristic of insufficient control over the army."


    Pound said with a smile: "after you go to Changsha County, on the one hand, make good friends with Han Xuan, and then make good friends with Han Xuan''s officials, let them speak for you, then you can ensure your status in Changsha County. On the other hand, when you are in charge of postal supervision, you can also control the military power without fear of Han Xuan. "


    Liu Xiu admire in the heart, bow hand way: "the teacher some analysis, have no mistake, can be described as perfect."


    Pang Degong laughed, stroked his beard under his jaw, and said: "the last point, whether it is Changsha county or other three counties of Jingnan, is not valued. When you go to Changsha, you will encounter less resistance and easy to operate. "


    Liu Xiu thought carefully and connected all Pound''s analysis.Heart, also gradually have spectrum.


    With Pound''s analysis, Liu Xiu knew what to do next.


    The most difficult problem is not knowing where the road is? However, all this, pound Gong has solved for him, let him go on smoothly.


    Liu xiudao: "the teacher to me, such as the teacher, such as the father, the disciple does not think that returns."


    Pound''s eyes narrowed and he said with a smile, "one day as a teacher and one life as a father, you have said that if you are a teacher as a father, how can a father not think about his son."


    Liu Xiu was agitated in his heart. His eyes were moist, but he turned his head.


    Pound said nothing in his eyes, but pretended not to see it.


    "Woo!"


    Suddenly, the driver yelled.


    The forward carriage suddenly stopped.


    Liu Xiumei frowned and wiped his eyes with the help of lifting the curtain of the carriage door. "What happened?" he asked


    Wenpin rode over and reported: "Mr. Xiu, on the official road ahead, there is a child less than ten years old standing in the way. According to the soldier''s inquiry, the child wanted to sell himself to save his mother. "


    "Sell yourself to save your mother. What happened to the child?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Wen pin shook his head and said, "I haven''t asked you the details yet. The main reason is that the child stuttered and didn''t speak clearly. "


    Liu Xiu looked back at Mr. pound and said, "teacher, I''ll deal with it."


    Pound nodded and laughed. Where is Liu Xiu going to deal with things? He clearly wants to take this opportunity to calm down. But it''s good to avoid Liu Xiu''s embarrassment.


    Liu Xiu stepped out of the carriage, took a deep breath, and then said, "general Zhongye, lead the way ahead."


    Wenpin said, "you don''t have to come down."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "it''s OK. The carriage has been sitting for a long time. It''s good to come down and take a walk. "


    He followed Wen pin and soon came to the front of the official road.


    On the broad official road, a thin, yellow faced child knelt on the ground and blocked the way forward.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu shook his head and sighed. Fortunately, the boy met wenpin. If you meet someone who is cruel in mind or who has no sympathy, I''m afraid you''ll rush in or throw the child away.

 Chapter 62

    Liu Xiu stepped forward and said, "get up and talk first."


    The child looked up at Liu Xiu, but he knelt down obstinately and said, "you You You promised Now Is that right?


    As soon as he opened his mouth, he faltered and hawed. It was very awkward.


    Liu Xiu sighed softly. Such a child who is difficult to speak has to sell himself to save his mother. His courage is commendable.


    "I promise you, get up."


    Liu Xiu stretched out his hand to help the child up, but he saw that the child stepped back two steps and shook his head: "no Dare to Dare to do Dirty Public The hand of the young master. "


    The child stood up and said anxiously, "young master, my mother has been robbed by the villains in the village. Please help her. As long as I save my mother, I can do anything. "


    A word, but very fluent.


    Liu Xiu was surprised and asked, "why don''t you stutter again?"


    "Ah


    The child was surprised and stuttered again, saying, "yes Because In a hurry At the same time, it''s not I stuttered


    Liu Xiu nodded, which proved that stuttering was not serious.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "you lead the way, I''ll take people to rescue your mother."


    "Good!"


    The child nodded, turned and pointed to a road on the right side of the official road, excitedly said: "go from here, go in Half a quarter of an hour, just That''s it. "


    Liu Xiu said, "general Zhongye, you stay here to protect your teacher and send ten soldiers to me. I''ll go back."


    Wenpin''s brow was wrinkled, and his face was embarrassed.


    "General Zhongye, let Xiuer go."


    Suddenly, behind him, Pound''s voice came a little hoarse.


    Wen pin nodded and immediately ordered to go down. Ten soldiers came out and followed Liu Xiu. Then, under the guidance of the children, they went to the village.


    Wenpin returned to Pang Degong''s carriage and said, "Pang Gong, xiugongzi, it''s not good to go there in case of danger."


    When you are away from home, you need to be more thoughtful about everything.


    Liu Xiu left alone, wenpin was worried.


    Pound is just: "if you take a cut, you will learn a lesson. If you are in danger, he will learn a lesson next time. What''s more, Xiuer''s martial arts are excellent, and there are ten soldiers around to protect him. It''s not a big problem. "


    After a pause, Lord pound sighed: "Xiuer is a common man after all. I can''t see him in trouble. Maybe he saw his helpless side in the child


    Wenpin heard the speech, suddenly realized, nodded no longer words, standing on the official road quietly waiting.


    Liu Xiu and the child walked along the road and asked, "what''s your name?"


    "My name is Deng AI!"


    The child looked at Liu Xiu, his eyes full of gratitude.


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he suddenly asked, "which county do you belong to?"


    Deng AI thought about it and said slowly: "I know this, I I I heard the old people in the village say that we are from Jiyang. Here, it should be Jiyang County "


    in Liu Xiu''s mind, he was more determined.


    Jiyang people!


    Deng AI!


    This Deng AI is the one who killed Shu.


    Age, place of birth, name, all match.


    Deng AI, a man of Jiyang, is well versed in the art of war and good at internal affairs. In 263 ad, Deng AI and Zhong Hui led their troops to attack Shu respectively. Deng AI was the first to enter Chengdu and destroy Shu Han.


    Although such people were active in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, their ability is undeniable.


    There is a smile in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    I didn''t want to hit myself by mistake, but I took in a future general.


    Liu Xiu, led by Deng AI, walked for about a quarter of an hour to a village.


    There are about ten families in this village.


    Deng AI went to the entrance of the village and pointed to the family nearest to the entrance of the village. He said excitedly, "young master, my mother is in there. He was caught by the villain in the village. You must save her."


    Liu Xiu waved and his soldiers rushed out.


    Liu Xiu knew about Deng AI. Deng AI lost his father in his early years, and he and his mother depended on each other.


    Under such circumstances, it is normal for Deng AI to sell himself to save his mother.


    It wasn''t long before a woman was brought out of the house by soldiers. Later, a burly, ferocious looking man was also brought out by the soldiers.


    Soon, he came to Liu Xiu.


    Women''s appearance is ordinary, but it gives people a quiet and elegant feeling, like having read a book and seen the world.


    Deng AI''s mother Xu, at least not a village woman.


    When Xu saw Liu Xiu, he immediately understood and knelt down quickly, saying, "Min Nu Xu, thank you for your help."


    "Spare your life, my Lord."


    The bully knelt on the ground, begged for mercy, and kept kowtowing.Liu Xiu''s eyes were cold and he said, "take it to a hidden place and deal with it."


    The soldier was ordered to leave with the bully.


    Deng AI stood beside Xu and said, "mother, you are OK. I''m on my way... "


    As soon as he spoke, Liu Xiu interrupted: "Xu Shi, I think Deng AI''s brain is more intelligent. I''m short of a bookboy. Would you like to come with me


    "Yes, yes!"


    Without waiting for Xu to speak, Deng AI agreed directly.


    He spoke so fast that he didn''t even pause.


    At the same time, he looked at Liu Xiu and was even more grateful. It is the so-called poor people''s children who are in charge of the family early. Deng AI is not old, but he is precocious and intelligent.


    Liu Xiu interrupted him, and then said that he would be accepted as a bookboy. Obviously, he would not be allowed to sell himself to save his mother, so as to avoid Xu''s suffering.


    In this way, Xu can also accept it.


    After Xu''s husband died, he had no place in the village.


    Liu Xiu said that he was willing to take in their mother and son. He was so happy that he immediately said, "thank you very much, thank you very much."


    Her eyes, too, looked happy.


    In the desperate situation, no matter what Liu Xiu''s intention is, she and Deng AI are better than staying. At least Liu Xiu''s family has a way out.


    After a while, the soldier who left with the bully came back and reported, "young master, it''s solved."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "let''s go!"


    Xu Shi and Deng AI followed Liu Xiu to the official road.


    Back on the official road, I found that there was already another carriage behind the carriage of Lord pound.


    Wenpin met him and said, "Mr. Xiu, Mr. Pang has arranged for someone to find a carriage nearby. The child and his mother can be placed in the carriage alone. "


    "Thank you, general Zhongye."


    Liu xiudao was grateful to Pang Degong.


    Mr. pound has helped him with all this.


    After the party got into the carriage, the procession went on.


    Pang Degong stared at Liu Xiu and said, "Xiuer, kindness is a good thing. But in troubled times, being too kind will hurt you. You should bear this in mind. You can''t have a child in trouble on the official road. You can deal with it yourself. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "the teacher''s instruction will be remembered by the disciples."


    Liu Xiu agreed with Pound''s teachings.


    However, pound didn''t know what Liu Xiu really thought, or he didn''t know about Deng AI.


    If the child he meets is not Deng AI, Liu Xiuhui will help save Xu, but he will never leave with Deng AI and Xu. He will only ask people to give Xu some money and let them find their own way out.


    Deng AI is different, this is a potential stock.


    Liu xiudao: "teacher, the child''s name is Deng AI, and his disciples have accepted him as a bookboy."


    Pound nodded slightly and said, "just deal with it yourself. Such a thing will never happen again. "


    Liu xiudao: "I understand!"


    The carriage left Jiyang and headed north.


    When they arrived at Luyang County, they arrived at the junction of Yuzhou and Nanyang County. Xu county is located in Yingchuan County of Yuzhou. A group of people entered Yingchuan county and headed east to Xu county.

 Chapter 63

    On July 20, pound and his party arrived in Xu county.


    Outside the county, the carriage stopped.


    Liu Xiu lifted the curtain and looked at Xu county.


    Now, Xu county is only the place where the emperor temporarily settled down, not the real capital. The real development of Xu county should wait until Cao Pi became emperor and changed its name to Xuchang, becoming a capital city. That is the real magnificent atmosphere.


    Rao is so. After several repairs, Xu county is also towering.


    After a look, the team moved on.


    When entering the city, the carriage passed the inspection of the soldiers and went straight into the city.


    Wenpin found a house in the city and settled down directly in Xu county.


    It has to be said that with Xu in the team, there are benefits in many aspects. At least, the accompanying soldiers never ate any more dry food. The food they ate was cooked and tasted much better.


    There are people doing laundry and cooking, and everyone is used to it.


    After moving in, Xu was busy cleaning and preparing for the party''s food.


    In the study, Pang Degong, Liu Xiu and Wen pin took their seats respectively.


    Pound''s face was serious, and he said, "when you come to Xu county, you must be watched everywhere. Our every move must be placed on Cao Cao''s desk. Therefore, all actions in Xu county must be carried out cautiously and without authorization. "


    When Liu Xiu and Wen pin heard the speech, they should go down together.


    This time, Pang Degong was Liu Biao''s envoy. He listened to him.


    Looking at wenpin, Pang Degong said, "general Zhongye, we are all settled down now. You immediately send someone to inquire about the news and see which princes have arrived and whom Cao Cao has invited


    "I understand!"


    Wen pin nodded and kept things in mind.


    Liu xiudao: "teacher, this birthday, the birthday gift for the emperor?"


    Pang Degong said with a smile: "Zhou Mu is ready for the birthday gift. It''s nothing more than some precious jade. There''s nothing particular about it. The point of this birthday celebration is not to celebrate the emperor''s birthday, but Cao Cao''s intention. "


    Liu Xiu nodded his head to cheer up. This time, it was the most important part.


    This time for the emperor''s birthday, let alone failure.


    In the evening, wenpin brought back the news.


    Wenpin looked serious and said slowly, "Jiangdong sent Zhang Zhen as envoy."


    "Zhang Zhen, Zi Gang, was born in Guangling."


    "Zhang Zhen''s age is not much different from Pang Gong''s, and he is also well-known in Jiangdong."


    "This man first served for sun CE, and then sent an envoy to Xu county for sun CE. Because he was valued by Cao Cao in Xu county, he was forced to stay in Xu county as an official for several years. When sun CE died and Cao Cao wanted to invade Jiangdong, Zhang Zhen tried his best to persuade Cao Cao to put out his mind. "


    Wenpin zhengse said: "after Sun Quan came to power, Zhang Zhen returned to Jiangdong and continued to work for Sun Quan, which was highly valued by Sun Quan. This man is not only outstanding in literary talent, but also skillful in maneuvering and dancing. He has a good relationship with many officials in Xu county. "


    After a pause, wenpin said, "this time Sun Quan sent Zhang Zhen as an envoy, which shows his prudence."


    Pang Degong nodded slightly and said, "although Zhang is good at dancing, he is easy to talk. This person is easier to deal with."


    He was also familiar with Zhang.


    Wenpin said: "I can''t know who Cao Cao invited for this birthday. But in Yizhou, no one came. No one came to Xiliang. The only people in Xu county are us and Zhang


    When pound heard the words, he had the music in his heart.


    Liu Xiu carefully digested the news brought back by wenpin and thought about the next arrangement.


    ¡­¡­


    Sikong mansion!


    Today, although Cao Cao is in charge of the government, he has not abolished the three princes and restored the prime minister system.


    Now Cao Cao is only Sikong in the Han Dynasty.


    Cao Cao is short and short, but he is not tall. His cheeks are angular and sharp. He sat at the top of the table, glancing at his civil servants.


    Below, Guo Jia, the military adviser, Xun Yu, the Minister of Shang Shu, Jia Xu, the Taizhong official, and other literary officials gathered in the hall.


    Cao Cao had a deep voice and said, "the time for the emperor''s birthday is coming. Are the people from Jingzhou and Jiangdong coming?"


    Xun Yu replied, "in reply to my Lord, Zhang Yu, Jiangdong envoy, has arrived in Xu county, and Pang Degong, Jingzhou envoy, has also arrived. All the people who wish the emperor''s birthday have arrived. "


    In fact, Cao Cao only invited Jingzhou and Jiangdong to celebrate his birthday.


    The real intention is to knock the mountain and shake the tiger.


    With a smile on his face, Cao Cao stroked his beard under his jaw and said slowly, "Zhang Zhen is a very famous person with outstanding ability. I appreciate him very much. Unfortunately, I don''t want to work for him. Sun Quan sent Zhang Zhen to Xu county, which shows that he attached great importance to it. "


    After a pause, Cao Cao asked, "who is this Lord pound?"


    Cao Cao didn''t know much about Xiangyang.


    Xun Yu explained: "in Jiangnan area, pound Gong is better than Zhang Yu in terms of fame. As for statecraft, because pound was a hermit all the time and did not become an official, they could not judge their abilities. The person Liu Biao sent this time is also a little strange. He even urged the hermit Pang Degong to come here. ""Oh, Pang Degong is a hermit with high reputation in the south of the Yangtze River. Liu Biao is also very cautious."


    Cao Cao raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.


    Xun Yu also said: "in addition to Pang Degong, one of the people from Jingzhou is Liu Biao''s son."


    Cao Cao sat up straight and asked, "what''s the specific situation?"


    When Liu Biao sent his son, the situation was different.


    So much so that Cao Cao''s spirits rose.


    Xun Yu immediately replied, "the person who came here is Liu Biao''s Cao Cao, who also loves poetry and appreciates literary talent. He quickly asked," tell me about it. "


    Xun Yu nodded and talked about Liu Xiu''s poems and his theory of love lotus.


    After that, Cao Cao was stunned. After a long time, he tut tut praised: "such talent is rare in the world. Among all the officials, Zijian is the most talented, but I''m afraid Zijian can''t match Liu Xiu. "


    Zijian is Cao Zhi, the son of Cao Cao.


    Xun Yu shook his head and said, "my lord praised Liu Xiu too much. Maybe Liu Xiu is just these two poems."


    Cao Cao said with emotion: "such a good article, there is enough; such a classic poem, there is a great." After a pause, Cao Cao asked again, "besides his literary talent, what amazing performance does Liu Xiu have?"


    Xun Yu thought about it and said something about the bobbin car and the defeat of sun Ren.


    Cao Cao said with emotion: "Liu Biao''s dog, I didn''t expect to have such an excellent son. I''m interested in celebrating the emperor''s birthday this time. I can observe it carefully. "


    The others talked about Liu Xiu one after another.


    For a time, Cao Cao knew all about Liu Xiu''s situation, even the contradiction between Liu Xiu and Liu Cong, and the news that Liu Biao didn''t pay attention to.

 Chapter 64

    In the morning, the sun rises.


    Liu Xiu gets up early and does morning exercises in the yard.


    Practicing martial arts is a matter of persistence, which must be persisted for a long time. Even on the way from Xiangyang to Xuxian, Liu Xiu insisted on morning exercise and never slacked off.


    After Liu Xiuchen''s practice, Deng AI has prepared washing utensils and breakfast.


    Looking at Deng AI, Liu Xiu suddenly said: "Xiao AI, from today on, you go outside to find a small pebble to come back, and then read with it in your mouth. Long term persistence can cure your stuttering


    "Well, I see."


    Deng AI nodded and wrote down Liu Xiu''s words.


    After breakfast, Liu Xiu went to pound''s yard.


    On the way, I met wenpin.


    "General Zhongye, how was your first night in Xu county?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Wenpin replied, "thank you for your concern. Everything is fine." After a pause, wenpin said: "Mr. Xiu, just now people from Sikong mansion came to deliver a message. Cao Cao is having a banquet in Sikong mansion tonight. Please let''s go to the banquet."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "before the emperor''s birthday, Cao Cao has to hold a banquet alone. The drunk man''s intention is not to drink."


    They went together and soon arrived at pound''s study.


    Wenpin told the news to pound, pound public security platoon: "tonight''s banquet, the three of us go."


    Wenpin and Liu Xiu nodded away, and went to their own business.


    Liu Xiu prepared for the evening and went out of the house.


    Xu county is no stranger to Liu Xiu.


    In the last life, after Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao, he and Liu Cong were sent to Xu county. He stayed in Xu county for some time, and then he was sent to Yecheng, Jizhou.


    Now it seems that Xu county has no future scale.


    However, it is also quite prosperous.


    Liu Yiran went to his memory to practice.


    Yi Ran Ju, located in the center of Xu county, is just an ordinary restaurant. However, the layout of yiranju is very elegant, surrounded by green water and willow trees, which is very comfortable.


    Liu Xiu knew that behind Yi Ran Ju was Cao Hong, Cao Cao''s younger brother.


    Cao Hong''s family is rich, but he is extremely stingy and attaches great importance to money.


    When Cao Pi was young, he used to borrow money from Cao Hong, but Cao Hong didn''t agree, which led to his hatred. After Cao Pi ascended the throne and became emperor, Cao Hong was sent to prison and put to death by taking advantage of the fact that Cao Hong''s disciples broke the law.


    Fortunately, the Empress Dowager Bian pleaded for mercy, and Cao Hong was saved from death.


    On the other hand, Cao Pi is the son of the world, and Cao Hong doesn''t pay for it, which shows the degree of his stinginess and arrogance. Because of this, no one dares to challenge the existence of Yi Ran Ju.


    After entering Yiran house, Liu Xiu found an elegant room on the second floor and sat down to drink tea.


    Back in Xu county, sitting in the middle of Yiran, Liu Xiu''s mood is mixed.


    In Xu county, there are too many memories.


    "Oh, my guest, what are you doing? There is really no room for the elegant room upstairs. "


    In the corridor, there came the voice of the shop boy.


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he suddenly laughed. In his last life, he often encountered such a situation in yiranju. Because the person who came to yiranju was Deng Zhan.


    It''s not that there is no elegant room on the second floor. It''s Deng Zhan who has no money.


    Deng Zhan likes to come to yiranju to drink, but he doesn''t have enough money in his pocket. It''s OK for Deng Zhan to sit in the lobby below, but if he wants to go to the second floor, it will cost a certain amount of money.


    "Come on, don''t lie to me. I like to sit on the second floor."


    A loud voice came with it.


    Liu Xiu''s eyebrows were erect, and his eyes were full of surprise.


    Familiar voice!


    Familiar tone!


    This is Deng Zhan.


    Liu Xiu was very happy and said, "little brother, the people who came here are my friends. Bring them here."


    After hearing this, the shopkeeper took a look at Deng Zhan, hummed and waved, "please


    Deng Zhan laughed and went to the elegant room where Liu Xiu was. He lifted up the curtain, sat down opposite Liu Xiu and said, "brother, thank you very much."


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly, and ordered: "little two, a pot of Baihua brew."


    Baihuaniang is the signature wine of yiranju. In the whole Xuxian County, only yiranju sells it.


    Deng Zhan''s eyes narrowed, and there was a cold light in his eyes.


    Baihuaniang is his favorite wine.


    The young man in front of him must know something about him if he serves wine directly. In particular, Deng Zhan observed that the other party only drank tea, not alcohol. In this case, the other side let the second child take a pot of Baihua brew, which exposed too much information.


    After the sophomore got drunk, Deng Zhan said, "who are you and what can I do for you?"


    Liu Xiu filled the wine for Deng Zhan and said, "meeting is fate. Drink first."


    Deng Zhan was not polite either. After drinking, he asked, "come on, what can I do for you?"Liu Xiu took a sip of tea, thinking about how to explain to Deng Zhan. He can''t say, Deng Zhan, I''m your friend in your last life. We met again. How are you doing?


    It is estimated that as soon as he opened his mouth, Deng Zhan directly slipped away.


    Liu Xiunao, a flash of light, said: "do you know Deng Li?"


    "Are you Deng Li''s man?"


    Deng Zhan''s eyes suddenly become sharp, sharp and murderous, straight to Liu Xiu.


    On swordsmanship, Deng Zhan far surpassed Deng Li.


    Liu Xiu looked the same and shook his head: "I don''t know Deng Li. I have no friendship with Deng Li. I just have a little intersection. Deng Li once led people to assassinate me. In the end, I killed him with a sword. "


    "You killed Deng Li?"


    There was a trace of surprise in Deng Zhan''s eyes.


    The youth in front of him gave him a feeling of mediocrity. He could kill Deng Li.


    Hide the edge!


    I''m afraid the young people in front of us are unusual.


    Deng Zhan suddenly regretted going out today. He wanted to have a drink in yiranju. Unexpectedly, he got into trouble.


    Liu Xiu continued: "I asked Deng Li. Before he died, he said that it was Deng Zhan who ordered him to assassinate me."


    "This son of a bitch, spitting blood."


    The anger in Deng''s eyes Rose at Xiong Zhan''s words.


    Between Deng Li and Deng Zhan, the situation is like water and fire. He and Deng Li have already broken up, so it is impossible to instruct Deng Li. What''s more, Deng Li was in Xiangyang and he was in Xuxian. There was no intersection between them.


    This is clearly a source of disaster. If you die, you have to deal with him.


    Deng Zhan''s face was dignified and said in a deep voice: "if I say that I didn''t instruct Deng Li, do you believe it?"


    "Believe it


    Liu Xiu didn''t even think about it. He spoke directly.


    Deng Zhan did not expect the other party to be so straightforward and asked, "why?"


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "because after careful investigation, I have found out the person behind the scenes."


    The corner of Deng Zhan''s mouth twitches gently. He worries for nothing.


    Fortunately, we found out.


    Liu Xiu said: "when we checked Deng Li''s identity, we also found something. Brother Deng and Deng Li are from the same school, but Deng Li''s swordsmanship is mediocre, and his manner is even worse. On the contrary, your swordsmanship is superb, you are open and aboveboard, and you are quite heroic. "


    Deng Zhan chuckled, filled the wine, drank it and said, "I''m flattered. It''s all the praise of my friends. It''s not worth mentioning."


    Liu Xiu said: "brother Deng has been in Xu county for some time, hasn''t he?"


    "Nearly three years!"


    Deng Zhan''s eyes show a trace of loneliness.


    After he learned martial arts, he went down the mountain to join the world. He thought that Xu county was at the foot of the emperor, and there must be many opportunities. He wanted to start a career in Xu county, but he didn''t expect to do anything.


    Liu Xiu knew that it would be several years before Deng Zhan was valued by Cao Pi.


    Now, Deng Zhan is still wandering.


    It happened that this gave him the chance to accept Deng Zhan.


    Liu Xiu took a sip of tea, then sat upright and said, "I can give you a chance to show your talents. I don''t know if you are willing to follow me?"


    "Your Excellency?"


    As soon as Deng Zhan listened, his address changed.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "I''m Liu Xiu, the third son of Mu Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Cao Cao wishes the emperor''s birthday. I''ll follow my teacher, Mr. Pang Degong, to celebrate the emperor''s birthday. "


    "Ah


    Deng Zhan was surprised.


    Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, Deng Zhan is aware that it is the overlord.


    Liu Xiu is Liu Biao''s third son, certainly not bad.


    Deng Zhan was down and out in Xu county, and never found a chance to stand out. Now, when Liu Xiu made the request, Deng Zhan was excited.


    Deng Zhan is not afraid of Liu Xiu''s deception, because it is impossible to deceive him.


    Liu Xiu''s identity is known by a little inquiry.


    Deng Zhan stood up and said: "Deng Zhan, I''m willing to work for you."


    Liu Xiu waved to Deng Zhan to sit down. With a smile on his face, he said, "with the help of brother Deng, I have another available material. I''ll take tea instead of wine. Here''s to brother Deng. "


    Excited, Deng Zhan began to talk about Xu county after drinking.


    Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan were good brothers in his last life. Seeing Deng Zhan without any estrangement, he spoke very easily.

 Chapter 65

    Liu Xiu takes Deng Zhan back to his residence and temporarily lets Deng Zhan serve as his guard.


    For Liu Xiu''s arrangement, pound did not interfere.


    Liu Xiu is 18 years old, and his practice is calm. Pound believes that Liu Xiu can handle things well. What''s more, Pang Degong is Liu Xiu''s teacher. He doesn''t want to interfere in everything. He just gives Liu Xiu a general direction and reminds him not to go in the wrong direction.


    At night, Pang Degong, wenpin and Liu Xiu went to Sikong mansion together.


    The carriage galloped and stopped at Sikong mansion.


    Cao Cao''s Sikong mansion is very close to the Imperial Palace and is located in the north of Xu county. However, the decoration is magnificent, but it is not empty.


    After Liu Xiu handed in the invitation, he went to the hall under the guidance of his attendants.


    At the door of the hall, the attendant waved for the three to enter, then turned and left.


    Pound straightened his clothes, lifted his robe and stepped into the hall. Liu Xiu and Wen pin, one left and one right, followed closely, also entered the hall.


    The left and right sides of the hall were full of people.


    On the left side are civil servants, and on the right side are military generals.


    However, when Lord pound entered the hall, all the officials in the hall were drinking and eating meat with their heads down. No one looked up at all.


    In that case, it seems that in the eyes of all civil and military officials, the three of them are not as important as the food on the plate.


    Obviously, this is the downfall of Cao Cao.


    Pound''s face was as usual, and he strode forward.


    At this time, Cao Cao was very active and said, "Pang Gong has come all the way here. It''s a long journey and hard work. Come on, take a seat


    The attendants came forward and took Pang Degong, Liu Xiu and wenpin to their seats.


    A seat for three, on the left.


    Among them, Pang Degong was the first on the left, while wenpin and Liu Xiu were behind him.


    Pound looked around the crowd and saw that all the people were still drinking and eating meat. He acted separately and had a bottom in his heart. He is sitting in a state of anxiety and does not care about what is in front of him.


    When he was sent to Xu county, Mr. pound had already expected that he would encounter difficulties.


    Such things are expected.


    Liu Xiu sat behind Pang Degong, looked up at Cao Cao''s familiar face, and then scanned Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun you, Cao Hong, Cao Ren and others.


    The faces of these people are still so familiar.


    Goodbye today, it''s different.


    In the last life, Liu Xiu was a prisoner on the stage; in this life, Liu Xiu was not a prisoner on the stage, but a dignified envoy.


    Liu Xiu took back his eyes and suddenly sneered twice.


    The sound broke the silence in the hall, and the atmosphere changed.


    Cao Cao''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu. He was also looking at Liu Xiu. After learning about Liu Xiu, Cao Cao knew that Liu Xiu was not simple, and he had a heart of love for talents.


    However, we have to try to find out the specific ability.


    Cao Cao''s eagle Falcon eyes were very sharp, and asked: "Liu Xiu, why do you laugh on such a solemn occasion? Do you think I''m ridiculous? "


    The words, with doubt, are full of dignity.


    Pang Degong frowned slightly. He had already told Liu Xiu not to act rashly.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu took the initiative as soon as he came up.


    Although there was some worry in Pound''s heart, there was a trace of expectation in Pound''s heart. His disciple always plans before he moves, and he won''t do it easily.


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "Mr. Sikong, I''m laughing because I think of an allusion. I think it''s suitable for the situation, so I can''t help laughing."


    "What allusion?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.


    Liu Xiu looked around and said slowly, "I like reading. I see an allusion in an ancient book. This allusion says that when the Phoenix comes, Kirin knows how to stop and greet. Only those stupid and ignorant donkeys and mules will keep their heads down and continue to eat. "


    In a word, there was an uproar.


    One by one, the generals glared at each other and were murderous.


    Civil servants, too, have angry eyes.


    Liu Xiu''s words, directly hit them in the face, and it was slapping.


    Cao Cao''s eyes, showing the look of interest, did not expect Liu Xiuhui to say such words. All the officials bowed their heads to drink and eat meat. Isn''t this just a response to donkeys and mules? Clearly, it''s aimed at all the things that people bow their heads and don''t welcome.


    It seems that he is not a loser.


    However, the sensitivity of this reaction made Cao Cao appreciate it very much. This bold color was quite extraordinary.


    "Lord Sikong, I think of an allusion in my humble position."


    In the crowd, a middle-aged man with elegant appearance and handsome face spoke.


    Liu Xiu''s heart moved when he saw the comer.


    The name of the person who got up was Yang Xiu, the son of Taichang Yang Biao, who served as Cao Cao''s director.


    In history, Yang Xiu took part in the fight between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi to win the throne. However, his cleverness was wronged by his cleverness, which annoyed Cao Cao. When Cao Cao led his army to attack Hanzhong, he killed Yang Xiu with the help of chicken ribs."What are the allusions in master Yang''s book? Let''s hear them."


    There was a smile in Cao Cao''s eyes.


    It is true that Yang Xiu, like Yang Biao, is a member of the emperor''s family. However, Yang Xiu was under the jurisdiction of Cao Cao. Yang Xiu took the initiative to come out to rescue, Cao Cao''s heart is also a burst of joy.


    What''s more, Yang Xiucai is quick in thinking. Maybe he can really compete with Liu Xiu.


    Yang Xiu turned to Liu Xiu and said, "I''m Yang Xiu!"


    paused, Yang Xiudao: "what''s next is the allusion of Phoenix Tree Wutong. In ancient times, a sage planted a Wutong tree, hoping to wait for Phoenix to return. Unexpectedly, the Phoenix did not come, but three or two sparrows. The wise man thought, is it not a laughing stock for sparrows to fall on the Wutong tree? After thinking about it, the sage picked up the catapult and shot the sparrow away, letting it go back and forth from where it came from. "


    "Ha ha ha, well said, well said!"


    "It''s worthy of being Yang Xiu. He''s quick in talent and thinking, which is admirable."


    "itself is a sparrow, but wants to fall on the Wutong tree, laughing and laughing, laughable and ridiculous."


    In the hall, a burst of laughter, one after another.


    Yang Xiu arched his hand and returned to the seat, with a proud smile on his face.


    After a while, Cao Cao waved and said, "be quiet!"


    In the hall, it was quiet again.


    Cao Cao looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Xiu, how about the allusions of master Yang?" Words, with a trace of pleasure and expectation. Happily, Yang Xiu''s counterattack is very good, but he looks forward to Liu Xiu''s reply.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "it''s easy to laugh!"


    Yang Xiu''s anger rose in his eyes and said, "how to make a smile?"


    Liu Xiu said with a light smile: "I have made it very clear in my allusions. Only Kirin recognized the Phoenix. Mules and donkeys are ignorant. Even if they see the Phoenix, they think they are sparrows. "


    "This sage wants to drive away the sparrow. He thinks he is right, but he doesn''t know that he missed the Phoenix."


    "One leaf blinds the eye, so it is."


    Liu Xiu sighed twice and sighed: "the mule is ignorant. The donkey is stupid. It''s natural that he can''t see the true face of the Phoenix. It''s understandable. Otherwise, isn''t Kirin gone everywhere? This is exactly the difference between mules, donkeys and unicorns. "


    The corners of Cao Cao''s mouth twitched slightly. At the same time, he felt that Liu Xiu''s mouth was quite tricky.


    In a word, he flattered the unicorn.


    In fact, it also dealt a severe blow to Yang Xiu and other civil and military generals, which was not a simple means.


    Liu Xiu''s face was calm, and his face was neither humble nor overbearing. He continued: "as the saying goes, people should not be judged by appearance, and the sea water should not be measured. That''s the truth. After you go back, master Yang, please polish your eyes. Otherwise, you will have no eyes. What''s the use of coming here? "


    Yang Xiu clenched his fist, but he couldn''t refute it, so he had to sit down.


    After hearing this, pound felt very happy.


    "The envoy of Jiangdong is here!"


    Suddenly, at the door of the hall, there came the loud voice of the servant.


    Liu Xiu followed the voice to see, only to see the gate, an old man with a clear face, striding forward.

 Chapter 66

    As an envoy of Jiangdong, Zhang Zhen is elegant and elegant. He is outstanding in the world.


    When Cao Cao saw Zhang, his eyes showed a touch of joy.


    In the past, when Zhang Zhen was sent to Xuxian County, Cao Cao left him, thinking that with the passage of time, he would be able to use him for his own purposes. However, Cao Cao''s plan failed. After Sun Quan came to power, Zhang Zhen proposed to return to Jiangdong.


    Cao Cao did not want to force him to stay, so he allowed Zhang to return to Jiangdong.


    Zhang Zhen went to the hall, big sleeve a brush, arched: "Jiangdong Zhang Zhen, see Sikong."


    "Mr. Zigang, please have a seat!"


    As soon as Cao Cao waved his hand, the servant took Zhang Zhen to the first seat on the right.


    Pound and Zhang made eye contact and nodded slightly.


    Two people know each other, a look, understand each other''s mind.


    Cao Cao glanced over the crowd, took up the wine bottle and said in a loud voice, "Pang Gong of Jingzhou and Mr. Jiang Dongzi Gang have arrived. Now that we are all here, let''s respect Mr. Pang and Mr. Zigang. "


    "Please


    Cao Cao looked up and drank it.


    Everyone in the hall drank wine one after another, with a strong smile on their faces.


    As if nothing had happened before.


    Cao Cao put down his wine bottle and said with a strong smile: "it''s rare for envoys from Jingzhou and Jiangdong to get together, especially this evening when the moon is like a disc. I suggest that poetry be used to stimulate the interest. "


    Guo Jia''s face was a little pale, but his eyes were very bright. With a smile on his lips, he echoed: "my Lord is right, there is a moon and wine, there can be no poetry."


    Xun Yu, Xun you and others agreed.


    Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, Xia Houdun and other generals in the army also made noise one after another.


    The scene in the hall became lively.


    "Lord, there are months, wine and poetry, but we can''t do without rules. I suggest that we set rules."


    In the hall, someone spoke again.


    Liu xiuxun was speaking to Cheng Yu, Cao Cao''s confidant.


    Cheng Yu is nearly 70 years old. His hair and beard are white, but he is energetic and healthy.


    Under the command of Cao Cao, Cheng Yu was one of the few people who was not only Cao Cao''s confidant counselor, but also the leader of the war. As a minister, Cheng Yu participated in the management of government affairs, and was worshipped as general Fenwei by Cao Cao. He took charge of the army and managed the military and political affairs in Yanzhou.


    His rights are no less than those of Xun Yu and others.


    Cao Cao asked, "what kind of rules does Zhong De Gong want to make?"


    Cheng Yu stroked the white beard under his jaw and said slowly, "the best way to drink and write poems is one-on-one."


    "For example, if the Lord asks for filial piety and poetry, he has to write a poem before he can ask for filial piety. After fengxiao wrote poems, the Lord wanted to ask Wenruo to write poems. He had to write another poem to make Wenruo write poems. "


    Cheng Yu said: "the rules are simple, but they can increase the fun."


    After that, Cheng Yu took a look at Pang Degong and Zhang Dan, and a light flashed in his eyes.


    Cao Cao had a strong smile in his eyes and said without hesitation: "the proposal of Zhong De Gong is very good. The rules are simple and easy to operate. That''s it. Do you understand the rules, gentlemen? "


    The crowd answered with another burst of laughter.


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, there was a trace of dignity.


    Cheng Yu''s suggestion seems very good, but it is very unfavorable to the Jingzhou and Jiangdong missions.


    The reason is very simple. There are too few people in Jingzhou.


    In the hall, there are dozens of civil and military officers under Cao Cao. If everyone writes a poem, and then they all go to pound or Zhang, it means that pound or Zhang must write dozens of poems.


    In a short time, it''s very unfair to make dozens of poems.


    This is exactly what Cao Cao hoped to see.


    The present arrangement is the real downfall of power, the real killing of Jingzhou and Jiangdong.


    "Lord, I think of a poem. I want to consult Pang Gong."


    With a smile, Yang Xiu was the first to stand up. He went up to pound, pondered for a long time, and then read aloud the poem he had come up with.


    After the recitation, Yang Xiu arched his hand and said, "please teach Pang Gong!"


    Pang Degong also has outstanding literary talent. With a smile, he commented on Yang Xiu''s poem and wrote a poem.


    The first one, that''s it.


    Then, Cao Cao''s counselor Mao stood up and found Zhang.


    After Mao''s poem, Zhang also wrote a poem.


    Cao Cao''s civil servants, one by one, got up enthusiastically. Then they found Pang Degong and Zhang Dan and presented their poems one after another. But after more than ten people, whether it was Mr. pound or Mr. Zhang, his forehead began to sweat.


    More than ten civil servants came to ask for advice, and the two of them shared an average of five or six poems.


    From the beginning to the end, the quality of poetry declined rapidly.


    Even if full of economic strength, it is difficult to cope with such a situation.Liu Xiu sat behind him. Seeing this scene, he quickly turned his mind and thought about the solution.


    If we don''t stop it, neither Jiangdong nor Jingzhou will be able to face it. Even though Cao Cao bullied people by the number of people, it was Jingzhou and Jiangdong who lost face.


    Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, drank wine and looked at the lively scene with a strong smile in his eyes.


    This scene is so good!


    Cao Cao''s eyes suddenly fell on Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiucai is quick in thinking and is a first-class poet. He wants to see how Liu Xiu deals with it.


    In addition, Pang Degong was Liu Xiu''s teacher. Pang Degong was very hard up. Cao Cao didn''t believe that Liu Xiu would sit by and ignore him. If Liu Xiu just sits by and ignores him, he is just outstanding in literary talent.


    "Sir Sikong, I don''t think it''s fair."


    Suddenly, Liu Xiu got up and stood out from behind Pang Degong.


    At this time, Cao Cao''s literary officials were all quiet, including those who had just got up and were ready to go to Pang Degong or Zhang Dan, and they all went back to their seats.


    The official standing in the lobby was looking at Liu Xiu.


    Cao Cao looked calm and asked with a smile, "what do you think is unfair?"


    Although he said that, Cao Cao was very happy. At least he was puzzled by Pang and Zhang. Before the banquet, Cao Cao discussed with his counsellors and made unfair rules.


    Cao Cao did it on purpose.


    Liu Xiu points it out directly, but Cao Cao wants to see it. What is Liu Xiu going to say?


    Liu xiulang said: "all the civil and military officials are under the command of Sikong. Now, they come to toast and chant poems one by one. We Jingzhou people don''t have a chance to toast. It''s really inappropriate. Well, please all the people under Sikong''s account sit back. Liu Xiu will toast one by one and recite poems one by one. As the saying goes, "far away is a guest. We come all the way. Sikong has to give us a chance."


    WOW!


    In the hall, it exploded.


    Looking at Liu Xiu''s eyes one by one, he felt even more incredible.


    Liu Xiu means to let all the people sit back and stare at Liu Xiu to toast and recite poems. It means that every time Liu Xiu sees a person, he has to write a poem.


    In this case, it is very difficult.


    No one under the command of Cao Cao dare say that he can accomplish it.


    In Cao Cao''s eyes, he also showed a solemn look.


    However, Cao Cao was more curious about what kind of poems Liu Xiu would make.


    Cao Cao brushed his sleeves and said, "gentlemen, we have to respect the guests'' demands. All of you are back at the table, waiting for Mr. Liu to toast. "


    From calling him by his first name to calling Mr. Liu.


    At least, Cao Cao was convinced by Liu Xiu''s practice and thought that Liu Xiu had great courage.


    Pound looked at Liu Xiu with a worried look in his eyes. He knew that Liu Xiucai was quick thinking, but this was not solved by one or two poems. He had to make dozens of poems, which was too difficult.


    Liu xiutou waved his hand with reassuring eyes and said, "come on, follow me with drinks."


    Immediately, a servant came up, carrying a plate with wine bottles and jugs, specially pouring wine for Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 67

    Zhang Zhen stares at Liu Xiu. His eyes twinkle with curiosity.


    Zhang also knows about Liu Xiu.


    For quite a long time, news of Liu Xiu was widely spread in Jiangdong, but there were few other news about Jingzhou.


    Liu Xiu has entered the sight of Jiangdong officials.


    This time, Zhang Zhen looked at Liu Xiu from a close range, and he could also judge Liu Xiu''s ability. This is also of great benefit to the next arrangement of Jiangdong.


    Liu Xiu held his head high and strode to Xun Yu.


    Liu Xiu didn''t open his mouth, and the attendant said, "young master Xiu, this is the book of Xun Xun."


    Xun Yu laughed and waved his hand casually: "master Xiu, please!"


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu waved, "here comes the wine!"


    When the servant heard the words, he immediately handed over the drink.


    Liu Xiu took the wine bottle and drank it. He took three steps back and forth in the same place. After a slight pause, he said, "my poem is called Wangyue Huaiyuan. Please give me some advice."


    "The moon is born on the sea, and the ends of the earth are at this time."


    "Love and human resentment are far away, but they are missing each other in the evening."


    "When the candle is extinguished, the light is full, and the clothes are covered with dew."


    "I can''t bear to give it to you with my hands. It''s a good time to sleep."


    At the end of a poem, Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "Mr. Wen Ruo, please give me some advice!"


    In the hall, there was a lot of discussion.


    Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xia Houdun and other generals were not surprised. However, Xun Yu, Xun you, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and other literati have a thoughtful look on their faces. They immediately have bright eyes and marvel.


    This song is a classic.


    Cao Cao sat at the top of the table and murmured. He was also very surprised. He commented: "the second sentence of" Gong "is about love - people, the third sentence of" Yuan "is about lovesickness, the fifth and sixth sentences of" Ren Yue "are about lovesickness, the seventh and eighth sentences of" Yue Yue "are about lovesickness. The whole poem is full of vigor, but it is full of emotion. It is a classic


    Cao Cao himself is a poet, a comment, penetrating.


    The rest of the people were amazed.


    Liu Xiu''s first poem shocked the civil servants under Cao Cao.


    Seeing this, Mr. pound showed a smile on his face. Wenpin sat behind Pang Degong and looked at Liu Xiu''s confident and calm face and his modest manner. He was filled with admiration. It''s not easy for Cao Cao to convince his officials.


    Xun Yu was also well prepared. After a little thought, he chanted a poem.


    Compared with Liu Xiu, Xun Yu''s poems are a little worse, but they are also of high quality and praiseworthy.


    Liu Xiu nodded and turned to leave.


    When he came to Xun you, he took the bottle and drank it.


    After the attendant introduced Xun you''s identity, Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "Xun Jun Shi, my second poem is called" meditation on a quiet night. ". This poem was written last night in the memory of Jingzhou. "


    Xun you waved his hand and said, "please!"


    Without any hesitation, Liu Xiu began to read.


    "The bright moon in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground."


    "Looking up at the moon, looking down to think of hometown."


    A very simple but plain poem echoed in the hall.


    In an instant, the hall was quiet.


    Even the generals under Cao Cao''s command have some feelings.


    Civil servants read carefully. The more they read, the more they feel nostalgic.


    Xun you looked admiring and said with emotion: "this song of" meditation on a quiet night "is really attractive to recall his hometown, and it is even more touching. The moon shines on the ground, and the frost is white. Raise your head, lower your head, the same moon. A song "meditation on a quiet night", between a pitch and a pitch, is already countless feelings. "


    "I admire you."


    Xun you picked up the bottle to drink and sang a poem.


    In the hearts of all people, they no longer have the heart to read Xun you''s poems, but are thinking about Liu Xiu''s poems.


    The first poem is about Acacia.


    The second poem is about nostalgia.


    Two poems, are missing, but also endless aftertaste.


    Unconsciously, Cao Cao''s body slightly forward, his hands on the desk, his eyes showing a look of expectation. Liu Xiu''s talent, even if it is Cao Cao, also feel out of reach.


    Liu Xiu seems very calm. For him, copying poems is not difficult.


    This time, it''s an opportunity to be famous and we must seize it.


    Cao Cao took the initiative to send the door, Liu Xiu naturally will not refuse.


    Liu Xiu went to Guo Jia''s side and waited for the valet to introduce him. Liu Xiu said, "Guo offered wine. I think of another poem called drinking alone under the moon. Please give me some advice."


    Guo Jia said with a smile, "I don''t dare to give you advice. Please give it to Mr. Liu."


    Guo Jia admired two poems in a row.


    After all, Liu Xiu is not very old.Liu Xiu took the bottle from his plate and drank it.


    "A pot of wine between flowers, drinking alone, no blind date."


    "Raise your glass and invite the moon to make three people."


    "Since the moon doesn''t know how to drink, the shadow follows me."


    "For the time being, the moon will be in shadow, and the pleasure will be in spring."


    "I''m wandering in the moon, I''m dancing in disorder."


    "When you wake up, make friends with each other, and when you get drunk, disperse."


    "Forever knot ruthless travel, phase period Miao Yunhan."


    A song "drink alone under the moon", the road to the heart of loneliness.


    After hearing this, people were in different moods.


    Cao Cao''s eyes were shining. After reading this poem, Cao Cao thought that Liu Xiu was expressing the emotion of not meeting his talent. This poem is very much in line with Liu Xiu''s identity as a common son, and even more in line with the situation that Liu Xiu is not valued by his father.


    One cavity ambition, can''t display.


    Only drink alone under the moon.


    In Cao Cao''s heart, he appreciated Liu Xiu.


    The three poems are all related to the moon, but also repose different feelings.


    There was a touch of excitement on Guo Jia''s pale cheek.


    He took the bottle to toast and said, "Mr. Liu is the best. Guo Jia can''t catch up with him. He can''t write any more poems. Guo Jia is willing to admit defeat. "


    In the face of Liu Xiu, Guo Jia took the initiative to admit defeat and gave up writing poetry.


    He thinks that in front of Liu Xiu, poetry writing is already a master''s skill, and there is no need to humiliate himself.


    Liu Xiu bowed his hand and went to Jia Xu.


    As for Jia Xu, he knows that he is an old fox with outstanding ability and is good at hiding himself. Facing Jia Xu, Liu Xiu said, "doctor Jia, Liu Xiu asked for advice."


    Jia Xu said, "Mr. Liu, please!"


    Jia Xu also directly quoted Guo Jia''s address to Liu Xiu. Jia Xu was also convinced of Liu Xiu''s poetic talent.


    As the saying goes, men of letters despise each other.


    When the talents of both sides are similar, there will be competition. However, Liu Xiu''s three poems in a row have made the officials present unable to think of fighting.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "my poem is called GuanShanYue."


    "the bright moon comes out of Tianshan Mountain, in the vast sea of clouds."


    "Long wind tens of thousands of miles, blowing through the Yumen pass."


    "When the Han Dynasty went down Baideng Road, Hu peeped at the Qinghai Bay."


    "There is no reason for the battle."


    "When the garrison looks at the border, how bitter it is to think of home."


    "When the high-rise building is on this night, it''s not easy to sigh."


    After Guan Shan Yue was finished, Liu Xiu served a wine cup and drank it again.


    The uninhibited posture is heartbreaking.


    With a long sigh, Jia Xu sighed: "in terms of momentum, this song GuanShanYue has unparalleled spirit. In front of Mr. Liu, Xu did not dare to imitate others, otherwise he would really make a fool of himself. Jia Xu, I''m willing to bow down. "


    After the four poems, the officials under Cao Cao no longer talked about them, but listened and read them quietly.


    All the people, look at Liu Xiu''s eyes is admiration.


    Cao Cao is itching in his heart. If such a talented person is his son, it would be good.


    Liu Xiu''s face was calm as usual, his eyes were calm, and he toasted one by one under the introduction of the attendant. A classic moonlight poem, read from Liu Xiu''s mouth.


    With each song, people were shocked, and in the end they were numb.


    After Liu Xiujing finished, he returned to his seat and said, "Sikong, please forgive me for Liu Xiu''s impoliteness."


    Up to now, Liu Xiu didn''t know how many poems he used.


    In short, as long as there are no mistakes related to the moon, he has used them.


    Cao Cao stares at Liu Xiu for a long time without saying anything. All of a sudden, Cao Cao says, "in terms of talent, Mr. Liu is worthy of four words. It''s a pity that he is not my son. When you have children, you should be like Liu Xiu. When you have children, you should be like Liu Xiu. "


    A feeling, with a trace of envy.


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "Sikong is praised. Liu Xiu is a scholar, not worth mentioning."


    Cao Cao appreciated his modest words.

 Chapter 68

    At the dinner party in the evening, the eyes were all focused on Liu Xiu, which overshadowed everyone. A well-known poem, full of emotion, it is exciting.


    The banquet was also very lively.


    It was late at night that the party was over.


    After Pang Degong, Liu Xiu and Wen pin left Sikong mansion, they came to meet them and then drove back.


    In the carriage, wenpin said excitedly: "today, young master, I am trying to defeat the conspiracy of Cao thief. Not only that, even the thief Cao showed admiration, which is a miracle. In particular, the civil and military generals under the command of Cao thief look at the childe with respect and despair. They are very happy. "


    Pang Degong laughed and said, "this is also Cao Cao''s trap. If he didn''t set up a conspiracy, it would not be the case today. For this, I have to thank Cao Cao for giving Xiuer such an opportunity. "


    Pound''s face was proud and his mood was agitated.


    This time, Liu Xiu was famous.


    As a teacher, pound is proud of himself.


    Pound''s words changed, and then he said, "general Zhongye, when you go back, let Xiuer transcribe all the poems of this evening. Tomorrow morning, you''re going to let people out. Xiuer is not old enough to be famous. This time, it''s an opportunity. "


    Wen pin nodded and said, "I understand!"


    The carriage galloped back to the house, and Liu Xiu quickly transcribed it.


    All the poems written in the evening were written down and handed over to wenpin.


    The next day, the news of Liu Xiushi and officials of Sikong mansion spread in Xu county.


    From high officials to ordinary people, they all know Liu Xiu. Before long, Liu Xiu''s identity, his past poems, and even his every bit of them were turned over.


    Overnight, Liu Xiu became a household name and was famous in Xu county.


    Sikong mansion, in the study.


    Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu, Xun you, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu and said in a deep voice, "yesterday''s events not only failed to exert pressure on Jingzhou or Jiangdong missions, but also made Liu Xiu successful. Yesterday''s banquet failed! "


    It is true that Cao Cao appreciates Liu Xiu.


    However, Cao Cao''s plan still needs to be carried out and can not be stopped because of Liu Xiu.


    To the point of Cao Cao, simple likes and dislikes can hardly influence Cao Cao''s decision on the overall situation.


    Xun Yu said: "Liu Xiu''s literary talent is so high that it makes people despair that they dare not compete with him."


    Cao Cao nodded slightly and said, "Liu Xiu''s literary talent is really unique in the world. It''s impossible to beat Jingzhou and Jiangdong by fighting."


    Xun you said: "Jingzhou is a place with brilliant writing style, which is their specialty. However, in terms of military strategy, Jingzhou''s singing and dancing are much worse. If we want to strike Jingzhou and Jiangdong, we can start with military strategy. "


    "I heard that Liu Xiu''s martial arts are quite outstanding," Guo said


    Jia Xu chuckled and said, "Liu Xiu''s figure is not outstanding. Moreover, the reason why Liu Xiu is outstanding in martial arts is that Jiangdong sent a young general to challenge him, and Liu Xiu defeated him. It''s a small matter. It''s not worth mentioning. "


    Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "no matter how Liu Xiu''s martial arts are, we must suppress the arrogance of Jingzhou and Jiangdong. This time, the birthday itself is like shaking the mountain and shaking the tiger to let them know the power of the imperial court. "


    Cheng Yu said in a deep voice: "Lord, it''s better to send tigers and leopards to perform martial arts and let Jingzhou and Jiangdong watch."


    Cao Cao''s eyes flashed and said, "this arrangement is really OK."


    Cheng Yu said: "Lord, Liu Xiuwen is outstanding. If he is still proficient in the art of war, he is a terrible man. At present, it is not known that Liu Xiu has any ability in military strategy. But I think we can try him. "


    "Why?" Asked Cao Cao.


    Cheng Yu said: "if Liu Xiu doesn''t know the art of war, at best, he is a romantic scholar, not worth mentioning. Such a person does not pose any threat to the Lord. "


    "However, once Liu Xiu is proficient in marching tactics and military techniques, it must be a great trouble for the Lord."


    "Once he returns to Xiangyang, the Lord may encounter resistance in his future expedition to Xiangyang."


    The white beard under Cheng Yu''s jaw has no wind. He stroked it and solemnly said, "I think that if Liu Xiu''s military strategy is outstanding, he must stay in Xu county or take the opportunity to kill him. Otherwise, it will become a future trouble. If you don''t know the art of war, you can let it go. "


    Xun Yu shook his head and said, "not my Lord!"


    Cheng Yu said, "Wen Ruo, although Liu Xiu is young, he is very threatening."


    Xun Yu solemnly said: "my Lord is in the north, the general situation has become, are you still afraid of a Liu Xiu? The most important thing is that after what happened last night, Liu Xiu must be famous in Xu county. People from all over the world will soon know about Liu Xiu. Under such circumstances, the Lord will detain Liu Xiu or kill him, which will affect his reputation. "


    Two people, a dispute.


    When Cao Cao heard the speech, his face also showed hesitation.


    Cao Cao appreciated Liu Xiu very much. However, once Liu Xiu posed a threat to Cao Cao, he would certainly do great harm. However, if Liu Xiu was allowed to leave, Cao Cao felt unwilling and even more pitiful.Seeing this, Xun you said, "Lord, I think I''ll try it first. Just about to call up the tiger and leopard riding. When you watch the tiger and leopard riding, try out Liu Xiu''s ability. "


    Cao Cao nodded and said, "according to the arrangement of Gongda!"


    When they got the order, they stopped discussing Liu Xiu''s problem and began to discuss other government affairs.


    ¡­¡­


    Imperial City, harem.


    Emperor Liu Xie sat beside empress Fu, his eyes were lonely.


    Liu Xie has a white complexion and slender figure. He wears a white robe, which gives people the feeling that he is not like an emperor, but like a rich family.


    Liu Xie sighed softly and said, "Zitong, the thief Cao, under the guise of congratulating me on my birthday, I don''t know what he wants to do. Trapped in the palace, I know nothing about the news outside. "


    Zitong is the title of the emperor to the queen.


    Empress Fu said, "Your Majesty, please feel relieved. My father will report the news of the birthday to you after he inquires about it."


    "Newspaper!"


    Just then, a little eunuch came in and bowed himself.


    Empress Fu asked, "what''s the matter?"


    The little eunuch said, "Your Majesty, the father-in-law has asked to see you."


    A bright light flashed in Liu Xie''s eyes, and he hurriedly said, "quick publicity!"


    The little eunuch went down to give orders. It wasn''t long before an old man in his sixties stepped in. Fu finished wearing Jinxian crown and black official uniform, solemnly went to Liu Xie to salute.


    Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "don''t be so polite. Please sit down and talk."


    "Thank you, your majesty!"


    Fu finished sitting, Fu queen even busy way: "father, what''s the situation outside?"


    Liu Xie also looked forward to it.


    Fu Wan''s face showed a trace of joy, and said: "to your majesty, there are Jingzhou, Jiangdong and envoys who come to celebrate your Majesty''s birthday this time. The envoys sent by Liu Biao in Jingzhou were Pang Degong and Liu Xiu, and the envoys sent by Jiangdong were Zhang Dan. Last night, Cao Cao had a big dinner with Pang Degong, Zhang Dan and Liu Xiu


    "What''s the big deal?" Liu Xie asked


    Fu Wan said: "at the banquet, Cao Cao asked his generals to propose a toast to Pang Degong and Zhang Dan. Moreover, it is stipulated that a toaster must write a poem, and after that, the toasted must also write a poem. "


    "At that time, the people under Cao Cao went to pay homage to pound and Zhang."


    "Just imagine, there are dozens of people under Cao Cao''s command, and there are only two of them. The officials under Cao Cao''s command, one person and one poem, are enough to make pound and Zhang want to break their heads. "


    When Fu Wan said this, he stopped for a moment.


    Liu Xielian said hastily, "what about the back? What happened later. "


    Fu Wan said happily: "at this time, Liu Xiu, the third son of Liu Biao, a disciple of Pang Degong, took the initiative to stand up and pay back to the people under Cao Cao one by one. Liu Xiu wrote dozens of poems on the spot, each of which can be regarded as a classic. Cao Cao''s people were all convinced and did not dare to write poems in front of Liu Xiu. Even if it is Cao Cao, there is nothing to say. "


    Immediately, Fu finished and said a few more typical poems.


    After hearing this, Liu Xie couldn''t help laughing and felt more proud. Liu Xiu is Liu Biao''s son, which is the patriarchal clan of the Han Dynasty. His face is also radiant.


    Fu Wan saw this and said some other things about Liu Xiu, which made Liu Xie very happy.


    Liu Xie said, "father-in-law, I have to see him for such a good man."


    Fu Wan thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, if you summon Liu Xiu now, it may attract the attention of thief Cao. It''s better to wait for your majesty to summon you after the birthday. When we celebrate our birthday, we will definitely name Liu Xiu. In that case, we will summon Liu Xiu on the basis of the Han clan, not because his ability is outstanding and his majesty wants to rely on him. "


    Liu Xie thought for a moment and said, "the analysis of the abbot is reasonable. We will do it according to what the abbot said. When the abbot goes down, he can meet Liu Xiu in private. "


    "Yes, I do!"


    After listening, he got up and left.

 Chapter 69

    When Deng Zhan worked for Liu Xiu, he had other thoughts.


    There are two reasons why he promised Liu Xiu.


    First, Deng Zhan stayed in Xu county. There was no place to show his talent, and no one looked up to him. In this case, following Liu Xiu''s side can solve the problem of food and clothing for the time being. Second, we can observe Liu Xiu''s ability closely. If Liu Xiu has outstanding ability, he will continue to be loyal to Liu Xiu. If Liu Xiu is incompetent, he will definitely choose to give up.


    When Deng Zhan was weighing up, the news that Liu Xiu was writing poems in Sikong mansion came out from inside and outside Xu county.


    News after news shocked Deng Zhan.


    Walking on the road, everyone talks about Liu Xiu, and countless people talk about Liu Xiu''s poems.


    When Deng Zhan saw this behind the scenes, his careful thinking was directly thrown out of the sky, and he was determined to follow Liu Xiu.


    In the study, Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan sit opposite each other.


    Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and said, "brother Deng, you have been in Xu county for several years. Are you familiar with some local snakes in Xu county?"


    "Familiar!"


    Deng Zhan nodded. When he was in Xu county, he had a good relationship with Rangers in Xu county and some local people.


    Liu Xiu said, "now, you do one thing for me."


    "What''s the matter?" Asked Deng Zhan.


    Liu Xiu had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "find someone to find out who Jiangdong envoy Zhang Zhen brought to Xu county. What about their martial arts?"


    He also knows something about Liu Zhen.


    There are two in Jiangdong. The first is Zhang Zhao, and the second is Zhang Dan.


    Zhang is outstanding in both his statecraft and strategic planning. It is a great threat to Jingzhou for such people to stay in Jiangdong.


    In order to relieve the danger of Jingzhou, Liu Xiu had to do some things.


    Deng Zhan said in a deep voice: "young master, if you want to inquire about the news, you must use a lot of relationships, which will cost a lot."


    Liu Xiu waved and said, "money is not a problem!"


    Immediately, Liu Xiu took out a three inch high sandalwood box and handed it to Deng Zhan. He said, "inside the box, there are some jade jewelry. You can exchange it for money and ask for information."


    "Gudong!"


    Deng Zhan opened the box and was shocked to see the jade and jewels inside.


    There are not many jewels in the box, but they are very valuable.


    Deng Zhan looked shocked and asked, "are you not afraid that I will run away when you give me such precious jewels?"


    He didn''t know that Liu Xiu and he were friends in his last life, and he knew his temperament well. In Deng Zhan''s opinion, it''s amazing that Liu Xiu has given him so much trust in just a few days. Deng Zhan''s heart is broken by his courage.


    Liu xiudao: "I believe in brother Deng''s character. Since I believe in him, I will not doubt him."


    Deng Zhan took a deep breath and said, "don''t worry, I will finish the task and never let you down."


    Liu Xiu''s trust moved Deng Zhan.


    You treat me as a scholar, and I will repay you as a scholar!


    At this time, Deng Zhan had only one idea in his mind to complete the task Liu Xiu had given him.


    Deng Zhan changed his mind and asked, "it must take some time to verify the information. When will you get the news at the latest? "


    Liu Xiu replied, "before the Jiangdong mission leaves Xu county, you must give me complete information. So, your time should be enough. But the sooner the news, the better. "


    "I see!" Deng Zhan got up and said, "young master, I''ll be busy now."


    "Wait a minute!"


    Liu Xiu waved and stopped Deng Zhan from leaving.


    Deng Zhan sat down again and asked, "what else can I do for you, young master?"


    Liu Xiu called out: "Deng AI!"


    "Here it is


    Outside the study, Deng AI''s voice immediately remembered.


    Deng AI stood outside the door. He quickly put away his book and carried it on his back. Then he took out the pebbles from his mouth, pushed the door open and went into the study.


    From Jiyang to Xuxian, Deng AI was able to eat enough and no longer worried about his livelihood. He also had a little meat on his body and no wax yellow on his face.


    Deng AI is young and likes reading.


    Especially in Liu Xiu''s side, there is no lack of books, and Pang Degong is always carrying a book.


    Besides what Deng AI should do, he should read books.


    After a few days, his stuttering has been alleviated, but his pronunciation is not clear.


    Standing in the study, Deng AI saluted and said, "young master!"


    Liu Xiu nodded and then said, "brother Deng, this is Deng AI, a native of Jiyang County, Nanyang County. His surname is also Deng. I don''t know if it has anything to do with you?"


    Deng Zhan shook his head and said, "I''m from Nanyang County, but I''m not from Jiyang."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I asked brother Deng AI to teach him swordsmanship. I don''t know if you want to?"


    Deng Zhan stares at Deng AI with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.After all, his swordsmanship has a teacher''s inheritance. If he teaches it to Deng AI, it''s equivalent to accepting apprentices.


    Excited, Deng AI knelt down with a plop and kowtowed: "disciple Deng AI, meet Master. Please don''t worry, master. I will try my best to practice martial arts. "


    This time, Deng Zhan is even more difficult.


    Deng AI, the child, knelt down. It was a plan to cut first and then play. It was hard for him to refuse.


    Liu Xiu has a smile on his face. Deng AI is intelligent.


    Kneel down at the right time.


    Liu Xiu went on to say, "brother Deng, little AI likes reading books, and he likes reading military tactics. I take him with me to cultivate him. In the future, Deng AI will become an official. The reason why Deng AI was asked to be a teacher was to hope that he could protect himself. "


    Deng opened his eyes.


    If Deng AI is just a schoolboy, Deng Zhan doesn''t have much thought to teach.


    However, what Liu Xiu meant was to cultivate Deng AI. In this way, Deng AI will surely be Liu Xiu''s confidant in the future. Now he takes Deng AI as his apprentice, which is further closer to Liu Xiu.


    With a smile on his face, Deng Zhan looked at Deng AI and said, "Deng AI, it must be boring and hard to practice martial arts under my door. Can you do that? If you can''t do it, it''s like you didn''t kneel down to worship your master, and I''ll teach you to practice martial arts. "


    Deng AI knelt on the ground motionless, said: "master, disciples can endure hardship, can bear boring."


    Deng Zhan nodded and said, "get up. From tomorrow, you will practice martial arts with me."


    "Thank you, master!"


    Deng AI stood up with a smile on his face.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu was happy for Deng AI. Deng AI is less than ten years old now. After he followed Liu Xiu, his own development trajectory must have changed in history.


    Although Deng AI''s hard work and spirituality exist, Liu Xiu can''t guarantee that Deng AI will be as brilliant as in history.


    What Liu Xiu can do is to try his best to cultivate Deng AI.


    Liu Xiu has plenty of books to read.


    If you want to practice martial arts, Deng Zhan is a master of swordsmanship. Let alone make Deng AI''s swordsmanship peerless, at least he can protect himself.


    Liu Xiu, with a serious face, said, "Xiao AI, you should be a teacher one day and a father all your life. If you worship Deng Zhan as a teacher, you should treat him like a father. Do you understand?"


    Deng AI nodded and said, "don''t worry, young man. I understand."


    Liu Xiu waved Deng Zhan and Deng AI back. He sat alone in his study and thought about other things in Xu county.


    This time he was sent to Xuxian county. In Sikong mansion, Liu Xiu was in the limelight, but it was only literary talent. Liu Xiu is not satisfied with this. He has to do more to prove his ability.


    All this needs Liu Xiu''s own consideration.

 Chapter 70

    After a few days, Cao Cao once again invited Pang Degong and others. This time, I went to the school to watch the tiger and leopard riding.


    The intention of this action is very obvious, that is, to show the power of the soldiers in a naked naked way.


    Tiger and leopard riding is the most elite force under Cao Cao.


    The leader is Cao Cao''s cousin.


    After getting the news, Pang Degong didn''t worry. He took Liu Xiu and wenpin to Sikong mansion.


    On the road, in the carriage.


    Pang Degong looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Xiuer, this time when you watch the tiger and leopard riding, Cao Cao''s civil and martial arts might be provocative. You must be careful. You can''t do it. Just don''t agree. "


    "Performing martial arts is different from fighting. In the end, fighting is just a face fight. Practicing martial arts may turn into a fight for life. "


    "Especially the last time you beat Cao Cao''s civil and military generals to pieces. This time, they are likely to take the opportunity to save face. "


    Pound Justice: "before you want to do anything, in short, think twice, do not impulse."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "don''t worry, teacher. I understand."


    When the party arrived at Sikong mansion, it happened that Zhang Zhen also took a warrior out of the carriage.


    Pang Degong stepped forward and said with a smile, "son Gang, what do you think of Cao Cao''s performance of martial arts this time?"


    "I''m afraid that Cao Cao''s intention is not simple," he said


    With these words, Zhang Zhen took a look at Liu Xiu and praised him: "Mr. Xiu is a talented man, and his literary talent is flying. I really envy him. It''s enviable that Pang Gong has such disciples. "


    Pound Fair: "the son Gang virtuous younger brother too praises, this kid also has a little literary talent, is not worth mentioning."


    After a while, Cao Cao and his civil servants came out.


    Cao Cao looked at pound and Zhang, and his face was full of smiles.


    It''s just that the smile always makes people feel bad.


    Mr. pound and Mr. Zhang are very busy.


    After returning his salute, Cao Cao said with a smile, "Mr. Pang Gong and Mr. Zi Gang, get on the carriage and go to the school yard with me. Today''s martial arts performance is a rare event. "


    Pound and Zhang nodded and got into their carriages.


    Cao Cao''s carriage, slowly forward.


    Pang Degong, Zhang Dan and other officials followed him to the barracks.


    After entering the barracks, the party, led by the soldiers in the barracks, came to a high platform.


    Under the high stage is the open and wide school field.


    Cao Cao arranged for Pang Degong, Zhang Dan and others to take their seats, and then the officials under his command also took their seats in turn.


    This time, Cao Cao took the center seat.


    Pang Degong and Zhang Dan were still the first on the left and right sides, followed by civil and military officials. As for Liu Xiu and Wen pin, they are still sitting behind Mr. pound.


    Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "start!"


    Immediately, the order was passed on. For a moment, not far from the school yard, the sound of horse hooves came.


    "Boom!"


    The sound of horses trampling on the ground is deafening.


    Sitting on a high platform, you can feel the vibration of the ground, but also feel a pressure.


    Zhang Dan''s face changed slightly. He is an official of Jiangdong and knows about the situation of Jiangdong. It is well known that there is a lack of horses in Jiangdong, and even less cavalry. On the other hand, under Cao Cao''s command, there are countless horses, well-equipped troops and strong combat effectiveness.


    Once Cao Cao''s cavalry goes south, Jiangdong will fall into crisis.


    Pound''s face was as usual, and he looked like an old monk.


    For pound, he was a hermit and had never been an official. Whether Cao Cao was strong or not had nothing to do with him. At most, it is also because Liu Xiu is indirectly related to him.


    In his previous life, Liu Xiu knew the existence of hubaoqi, and even saw it with his own eyes.


    Now look at tiger and leopard riding, it''s even more indifferent.


    Cao Cao''s eyes swept Zhang''s face and saw that Zhang''s face was tense. He felt a little proud in his heart. When the light from the corner of his eyes swept Pang Degong and Liu Xiu, his mood fell to the bottom.


    As if, a basin of cold water drips down.


    In Cao Cao''s mind, tiger and leopard riding is the best riding in the world and the best elite.


    When a tiger or a leopard rides, the wind and cloud change color.


    However, Pang Degong and Liu Xiu are indifferent to the killing of tigers and leopards, which makes Cao Cao''s heart cold. His favorite riding tiger and leopard failed to shock them.


    The only consolation is that wenpin''s face is tight, which gives Cao Cao a little comfort.


    However, there is always a knot in my heart.


    In the blink of an eye, tigers and leopards rush out quickly. The number of tiger and leopard riders is about one thousand, each wearing armor and extraordinary power. When the cavalry of tiger and leopard rushed into the school yard, they quickly formed an array.


    A thousand cavalry, facing the high platform, chanted "invincible.".


    For a moment, it was powerful.


    The civil and military faces of Cao Cao''s subordinates all showed a proud look.Immediately, the soldiers in the tiger and leopard riding turned around and scattered to the edge of the school field.


    Galloping horse, a tiger and leopard riding soldiers sitting on the horse, bow and arrow.


    "Whew! Whew


    In mid air, bows and arrows are like rain, whistling and shooting rapidly. This kind of archery is similar to the hunting method of Huns, Wuhuan and other grassland cavalry. The team is loose, but the lethality is incomparable.


    After a while of shooting, the grass people in the distance were hit by arrows one after another, and many of them fell to the ground.


    Soon, the gong sounded.


    Scattered cavalry, and quickly gathered, in a very short time together.


    There is no disorder in the whole army.


    Orders and prohibitions are highly lethal.


    Then, the military formation of tiger and leopard riding changed, forming various formations, such as round formation, conical formation, snake formation and eight trigrams formation, showing a strong ability of cooperation and lethality.


    After the martial arts, the tiger and leopard rode on the high platform and chanted "invincible".


    The sound of killing was so loud that it showed an invincible momentum.


    Cao Cao''s face showed satisfaction. Every soldier under his command is a general of 100 people. They are all elite selected from the army.


    Such elite is rare in ancient times.


    Cao Cao looked at Zhang Dan and said with a smile, "Mr. Zi Gang, how about the tiger and leopard riding under my official account?"


    "The best in the world!"


    Zhang Zhen calmed down and answered truthfully.


    Cao Cao laughed, then looked at Pang Degong and asked, "Pang Gong, how about Tiger and leopard riding?"


    Pound is just: "valiant and brave, the best among the best."


    Cao Cao stroked his beard under his jaw and said in a loud voice, "there are a thousand soldiers on the tiger and leopard riding. Each soldier is a hundred generals. They are all elite selected from the army. Anyone selected can command a team of soldiers. "


    Zhang Zhen arched his hand and said, "Lord Sikong has a good army and enough food. He has enough information to set up a tiger and leopard riding."


    Cao Cao smiles and asks, "Mr. Zi Gang, what will happen if tigers and leopards ride into Jiangdong?"


    In a word, Zhang''s face changed slightly.


    The provocation in the words showed up, and Zhang''s eyes narrowed slightly.


    If we don''t deal with it properly, we will lose Jiangdong''s face.


    With a brush of his big sleeve, Zhang Zhen sat upright and said, "Sikong has a good army and a lot of food, and it''s true that he can see the world like a tiger if he has such a sharp horse like a tiger or a leopard. However, the officials of Jiangdong are of one mind and will never bend their knees. "


    "Sun Jian, the Marquis of Wu Cheng, is brave and resolute. He has no more than ten thousand soldiers under his command. He dares to face Dong Zhuo, the tiger and wolf, and attacks quickly, which makes Dong Zhuo change his color."


    "Sun CE, the first master, swept the east of the Yangtze River and covered the south of the Yangtze River, making it invincible."


    With a serious face, Zhang said, "my Lord Sun Quan is talented and intelligent. He inherits the will of his ancestors, and he is also full of energy. If Sikong tiger and leopard ride into Jiangdong, our Lord will fight with all his strength. It''s hard to judge the outcome. "


    He said a lot, but did not answer Cao Cao''s question.


    However, Zhang made clear his attitude.


    If you Cao Cao want to attack Jiangdong, Jiangdong''s monarchs and ministers will fight to the end.


    Cao Cao nodded slightly, then looked at Pang Degong and asked, "Pang Gong, if tigers and leopards ride into Jingzhou, what''s the result?"

 Chapter 71

    Pang Degong chuckled and said: "if tiger and leopard enter Jingzhou, the outcome is unknown!"


    Cao Cao, with a joking look on his face, said: "there is a natural danger of the Yangtze River in Jiangdong. It is difficult to enter Jiangdong. But it''s easy for tiger and leopard to ride into Jingzhou. The combat effectiveness of the two armies is very different. How can Pang Gong come to the conclusion that the outcome is unknown? "


    "I''m not in officialdom. I don''t know much about it. Personal conjecture should be that the outcome is unknown. "


    "Ha ha That''s right. After all, I don''t know. "


    Cao Cao chuckled, his eyes turned and fell on Liu Xiu.


    Looking at Liu Xiu''s eyes, Cao Cao was full of expectation and asked, "Mr. Liu is the son of Liu Jingzhou. He must know the situation of Jingzhou like the back of his hand. Mr. Liu said, "what''s the result of tiger and leopard riding into Jingzhou?"


    Liu xiulang said: "there is no doubt that you will lose!"


    Cao Cao''s face immediately changed, and his eyes toward Liu Xiu showed a trace of curiosity and contempt.


    Tiger and leopard riding is the world''s elite, strong combat effectiveness.


    Liu Xiu''s direct conclusion that he would be defeated was somewhat arbitrary.


    "It seems that Liu Xiu has been overestimated."


    In Cao Cao''s heart, such an idea came into being.


    Xun you, Xun Yu and Guo Jia all shook their heads. However, Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan and other generals were already glaring. Tiger and leopard riding elite, for all to see.


    Liu Xiu said that the tiger and the leopard will be defeated when riding. He was just lying with his eyes open.


    Xia Houyuan stared at Liu Xiu and said slowly, "Mr. Liu is the son of Liu Jingzhou. It is reasonable to say that Jingzhou will win. After all, Mr. Liu can''t say that Jingzhou is unstoppable. "


    XiahouDun immediately echoed: "yes, Mr. Liu has a problem."


    With that, XiahouDun burst out laughing.


    Mao said: "Mr. Liu''s literary talent is flying, and we can''t catch up with him. But in terms of military strategy, ha ha, Mr. Liu''s words are not only boastful, but also arrogant. "


    Cao Hong also said: "the most important thing for a person is to know himself. Mr. Liu''s literary talent is good. Being a man is a little poor."


    Cao Cao''s civil and military officials spoke one after another.


    One by one, his mouth was vicious and merciless. Even though some people were ostensibly excusing Liu Xiu, they were actually ironic in secret.


    Wenpin sat next to Liu Xiushen with a frown and a worried look in his eyes.


    As a general of Jingzhou, he knows the situation of Jingzhou best. After watching the martial arts performance of tiger and leopard riding, he also thinks that tiger and leopard riding is invincible on the battlefield, and Jingzhou can''t find a comparable army.


    In particular, Jingzhou Taiping for many years, loose military discipline, the combat effectiveness of soldiers is not strong.


    Only the place bordering Jiangdong has a stronger fighting capacity. However, compared with Cao Cao''s tiger and leopard riding, there is too much difference. Under such circumstances, Wen pin did not know how Liu Xiu would explain it. In a word, it was very difficult.


    Liu Xiu was calm at the moment.


    In the face of the censure of Cao Cao''s officials, his mood did not waver at all.


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said slowly, "gentlemen, I just said the truth. It is true that the so-called advice is harsh. To tell the truth, it''s not recognized. "


    Cao Cao cheered: "silence!"


    In an instant, the civil and military officials on the high platform were quiet.


    Everyone''s eyes are fixed on Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Liu thinks he is telling the truth. How can Jingzhou resist the tiger and leopard riding


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Sikong is proficient in the art of war. I admire him very much. However, Sikong thought that tiger and leopard riding was invincible, which broke the image of Sikong in my mind


    Cao Cao clenched his hand and pulled off two of his whiskers.


    Liu Xiu continued: "tiger and leopard riding, no matter how powerful, is cavalry."


    "The battle field of cavalry lies in the broad and flat terrain."


    "On the grassland, the reason why people on horseback, such as Wuhuan, Xiongnu and Xianbei, are invincible is that the grassland is vast and the horses can cross freely."


    "In the north, the terrain is flat and open, and the role of war horses is still the same. They can exert their greatest strength."


    "In Jingzhou, the terrain is changeable, the landscape is vertical and horizontal, and the rivers are all over."


    "Can the tiger and leopard riding on the plain cross Jingzhou?"


    Liu Xiu looked around and said, "besides, there is much rain in the south of the Yangtze River. At the last moment, the sun was still shining. I''m not sure. It''s going to rain cats and dogs. When a rain comes down, the ground is muddy and hard to walk. When tigers and leopards rush in, I''m afraid that no less than two thirds of the horses will fall on the ground. "


    "When the formation is in disorder, the horses are in disorder, and there is no command, how can we kill the enemy?"


    "Not only can we not kill the enemy, we will also kill each other."


    Liu Xiu said confidently: "in my opinion, when tiger and leopard ride into Jingzhou, they only need to send one thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people. They don''t have to go to war. They just wait for you to fight and then collect the victory."It''s worth nothing to ride a tiger.


    Of course, Liu Xiu''s words are exaggerated, but they are also based on facts.


    After hearing this, Cao Cao turned black.


    Cao Cao is a master of the art of war. He is proficient in marching and arraying. After listening to Liu Xiu''s words, he understood that Liu Xiu''s words had some truth. It is true that Liu Xiu exaggerated the factors of terrain and weather, but it is also true.


    Cheng Yu stood up, arched his hand and said, "Mr. Liu, as you say, Jingzhou does not need military defense. As long as there are such key factors as geographical location and weather, the imperial army will not be able to go south and enter Jingzhou?"


    This was aimed at Liu Xiu''s exaggeration of the terrain and weather.


    After hearing this, Cao Cao looked at Liu Xiu again. He wanted to see how Liu Xiu would deal with it?


    Liu Xiu also stood up, neither humble nor haughty, and said: "the war is out of the ordinary, the water is changeable, and the use of troops to fight is not to say that it is invincible to occupy a favorable geographical location and weather, but to use the geographical location and weather reasonably to achieve the invincible effect."


    "Tigers and leopards can''t be ridden all the time. In case of heavy rain, even ordinary infantry can''t match."


    "Sikong was in charge of the northern states, with excellent troops and sufficient food, although there were countless soldiers and armor. But as long as you deal with it properly, it''s not that you can''t beat it. Just as in the battle of Guandu, there was a great disparity between Sikong and Yuan Shao. In the end, Sikong won. "


    "So the strength of the troops is not the fundamental reason for the victory."


    "On the battlefield, nothing is impossible, everything is possible."


    Liu Xiuse said: "whether it''s tiger and leopard riding, or the rest of the army, they can come to block the water and cover the land." Cheng Yu is surprised by her arrogant attitude and strong self-confidence.


    In Cheng Yu''s eyes, there was a flash of murder, and he said coldly, "Mr. Liu has a brilliant idea, which Yu admires."


    Instead of arguing with Liu Xiu, Cheng Yu went back to the table.


    The rest of the people looked at Liu Xiu, but there was a little hesitation in their eyes, and they didn''t go up to question again.


    Liu Xiuyan is so sharp that even Cheng Yu is willing to bow down.


    In Cao Cao''s heart, he appreciated Liu Xiu. He is very good at the art of war. Cao Cao changed the topic and said, "Mr. Liu is proficient in the art of war. I don''t know what kind of military books Mr. Liu reads on weekdays."


    Liu Xiu replied: "the art of war of Sun Tzu, the art of war of Wu Tzu, the art of Sima, and the art of Wei Liao Tzu are all involved as long as they are military books."


    Cao Cao was surprised.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu''s range is so wide, no wonder his words are so sharp.


    Cao Cao kept his mind in the examination and asked: "when people are always strong and poor, especially when reading a book, they should understand the meaning of it. If you look at it at will, I''m afraid you can''t understand it well, and you can only stay on paper. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "I''m reading. I just look at the essentials and understand the main idea. Just as Sikong governs the country, he dominates the imperial program and grasps the general direction. He does not ask the whereabouts of money and things, nor does he investigate the appointment and removal of a petty official. "


    "I think it''s the same with reading."


    "It''s enough to grasp the essentials and understand the essence."


    Liu xiudao: "I have to study the meaning of a word and the origin of a paragraph. That''s what scholars do, not what generals and commanders should do."


    In Cao Cao''s eyes, the essence is shining.


    Liu Xiu''s words moved Cao Cao and made it difficult for Cao Cao to refute.


    At this time, Cao Cao wanted Liu Xiu to work for himself.


    Seeing this, Xun Yu said: "Mr. Liu is not only brilliant in writing, but also has a great strategy. My Lord wants to test Mr. Liu. Now it seems that Mr. Liu is really talented. "


    A word, to Cao Cao steps down.


    Cao Cao laughed and said, "if Wen is right, Mr. Liu is really talented."


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "Sikong has praised me!"


    Xia Houdun stood up and said: "Lord, after the tiger and leopard riding, there will be some young generals in the army. Why don''t you go on and on


    Cao Cao looked at Liu Xiu, waved his hand and said, "yes


    XiahouDun had to make arrangements.

 Chapter 72

    In the school field, tiger and leopard ride back.


    Then, a team of young generals in armor entered the school field.


    Liu Xiu saw two of them in his eyes, and there was a chill in his eyes. One of them is Cao Zhang, the son of Cao Cao; the other is Dian man, the son of Dian Wei.


    In the army, they have come to the fore.


    In the past, when Liu Xiu was in Xu county, he met Cao Zhang.


    At that time, Cao Zhang was loved by Cao Cao. He was invincible and used to scold Liu Xiu face to face. Liu Xiu of the last generation swallowed his anger.


    Liu Xiu took back his eyes and scanned the rest of the people. He didn''t find anyone else he knew.


    Cao Cao laughed and said, "Pang Gong and Zi Gang, the young generals in the school, are all the younger generation of our officers. These kids can''t make it, but they insist on showing it. They have no choice but to give them a chance. "


    Zhang Zhen smiles and doesn''t speak.


    Zhang Zhen is not a fool. If he can hear Cao Cao''s voice over, he clearly wants to show off.


    Pound also smile, did not speak.


    In the school field, a hundred paces away from the young generals, the soldiers set up a target.


    The first row of four young players stand up, arched with bow, arched with bowstring, all hit the target. Then, the second row of young players came forward. Wave after wave of shooting, all the young generals, no empty arrow.


    Dian man and Cao Zhang hit the target with one arrow, which made the target shake, which was extraordinary.


    When the young general finished archery, he neatly turned to salute Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "how are you, gentlemen?"


    Civil and military officials, a burst of praise.


    Zhang Zhen also had to nod his head and praised him.


    Cao Cao looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Liu, what do you think of their archery?" For Liu Xiu, Cao Cao is almost obsessive. He always wants to suppress Liu Xiu, but he fails every time.


    Cao Zhang, Dian man and others are not much different in age from Liu Xiu. They suppressed Liu Xiu and won''t be criticized.


    Such an arrangement is most suitable for Cao Cao.


    Liu Kuabu nodded his head and said, "it''s good that he can hit the target."


    "Ha ha ha..."


    When Cao Cao heard the speech, he couldn''t help laughing.


    That look, very comfortable.


    Liu Xiu suddenly said, "it''s just that such archery is not perfect. It''s good."


    Cao Cao''s laughter stopped suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and asked: "Mr. Liu said so, is it that Mr. Liu''s archery is more exquisite?"


    Xia Houdun said immediately, "please show Mr. Liu archery?"


    Xia Houyuan echoed: "what you say is not as good as what you actually do. If Mr. Liu can really beat the following young players, Xia Houyuan is convinced. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "in the battle of morale, what if you win, what if you lose."


    With these words, Liu Xiu began to smile.


    This is actually a retreat.


    Now that Liu Xiu has spoken, Cao Cao and his subordinates will not give up. They must try every means to let Liu Xiu shoot arrows and fight for another chance to attack Liu Xiu.


    In fact, he is forcing Cao Cao to make a statement.


    Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Liu, I have two sabres. One is Yitian and the other is Qingchen. If you are strong in archery, Qingchen sword will be given to you. "


    For Liu Xiu, even for Liu Biao''s son, Cao Cao also has the idea of taking it for his own use.


    A green sword is Cao Cao''s investment and also stimulates Cao Zhang and others.


    Liu Xiu laughed in his heart. This time, Cao Cao made a heavy note. He looked around at the crowd and said, "a gentleman''s word is hard to catch up with. Lord Sikong can''t take back what he said in front of many civil and military people."


    Cao Cao confidently said, "I still have this capacity."


    Liu xiudao: "Sikong adult took out the green sword, the boy refused again, then did not know good or bad."


    Cao Cao stood up, waved and said, "let''s go down together."


    Everyone got up and went to the school under the leadership of Cao Cao.


    When he came to the school yard, Cao Cao''s eyes swept over Cao Zhang, Dian man and others. He said once about Qingchen sword as a bet, and then said, "who Qingchen sword belongs to depends on your performance."


    For a moment, Cao Zhang, Dian man and others were murderous. Looking at Liu Xiu, they were even worse.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu knew that Cao Cao would use it to stir up morale. Moreover, if Liu Xiu wins, Cao Cao can temper Cao Zhang, Dian man and others. If Liu Xiu fails, he can also be attacked.


    Although a green sword is Cao Cao''s favorite, for Cao Cao, the sword is a dead thing. What is really important is Cao Zhang, Dian man and others.


    Liu xiudao: "Sir Sikong, the archery just now is definitely not their best result. Why don''t you let them shoot again. When I shoot, they won''t say they didn''t play wellCao Cao praised Liu Xiu''s meticulous mind in his heart, even taking this into consideration. He asked, "do you want to shoot again?"


    "Of course, just dealing with it."


    Cao Zhang didn''t even think about it and answered directly.


    Dian man and the rest of the young generals also asked to shoot again.


    Cao Cao waves, a team of young players, all start again.


    When it was dianman''s turn, dianman said, "change the iron tire, bow and arrow target, pull to 120 steps."


    As soon as these words came out, all the generals under Cao Cao''s command were shocked. One hundred and twenty steps. This distance requires quite skilled archery to complete.


    Soon, the soldier replaced the iron tire bow for Timon, and pulled the target 20 steps further.


    Dian man stands tall. He holds the bow in his left hand, twists the feather arrow in his right hand and puts it on the bow string.


    "Drink!"


    A low drink, Dian full arms force, bowstring was instantly pulled apart.


    "Yes


    Dian man''s eyes narrowed and his right hand loosened.


    "Hum!"


    The bow string vibrated, and the sharp bow and arrow came out of the string, cut through the air, and shot with a sharp howling sound. In a flash, the bow and arrow snapped on the target.


    The bow and Arrow Quiver, and the target moves back and forth.


    "Hit the bull''s-eye!"


    A hundred and twenty paces away, the voice of the soldier came.


    Dian man clenched his fist, turned to face Cao Cao, hugged his fist and said, "Lord, I''m lucky that I won''t disgrace my life."


    On Cao Cao''s face, he also showed a smile.


    Cao Zhang was the last one to go up. He also used the iron bow. He looked at the target 120 paces away, and without hesitation, he took up his bow and aimed at the target.


    "Yes


    Cao Zhang roared. His bow and arrow came out of the string and hit the target in an instant.


    "Hit the bull''s-eye!"


    Ahead, the voice of the soldiers came again.


    Compared with the rest of the young players, Cao Zhang and Dian man both took the distance of archery to 120 steps. Although it''s only 20 steps, the difficulty is multiplied.


    Cao Cao looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Liu, it''s up to you."


    Everyone''s eyes were on Liu Xiu.


    At this time, the eyes of pound and wenpin were also worried. They know that Liu Xiu''s swordsmanship is superb, but his swordsmanship and archery are not the same.


    Sword holding and bow holding are different concepts.


    But at this point, neither of them can stop it.


    Liu Xiu''s face was calm and calm. He said, "Lord Sikong, I''m going to decide your green sword."

 Chapter 73

    "Boast!"


    Cao Zhang was about the same age as Liu Xiuxiang, but he was thin and not strong, but he was born with divine power.


    Looking at Liu Xiu''s eyes, he was even more proud.


    He has been training in the army since he was a child. He doesn''t like literature, but he likes to play with swords and guns. Although Cao Zhang''s martial arts can''t compare with Xu Chu, Xia Houdun and others, in the younger generation, Cao Zhang thinks he is one of the best.


    Dian man firmly stood on Cao Zhang''s side and said, "Liu Xiu, it''s not a skill to show off your ferocity. If you have the ability, you can show it."


    Cao Zhang then asked, "what bow do you use?"


    "Try the iron bow!"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were still relaxed and comfortable.


    As a warrior, archery is the most basic ability.


    The six arts of a gentleman are etiquette, music, shooting, imperial, calligraphy and mathematics. Archery is the most basic skill. Liu Xiu practiced sword and martial arts, and was also very proficient in archery.


    Cao Cao had miscalculated when he wanted to test his swordsmanship.


    A green sword, Liu Xiu is also quite greedy.


    The Zhenshan sword given by Liu Biao can''t be used easily. If he wins Cao Cao''s Qingchen sword, he can carry it with him.


    Cao Zhang threw out the iron tire bow in his hand and said, "this is the iron tire bow. It can''t be pulled without the strength of one or two hundred jin."


    Liu Xiu took the bow in his hand and said with a smile, "it''s not brute force, it''s skillful force."


    Cao Zhang snorted, and was even more upset.


    In his opinion, Liu Xiu is just bluffing. Once he pulls the bow string, he will show his true feelings.


    Liu Xiu''s feet are apart, his body is sideways, his left hand holds the bow and his right hand pulls the bowstring.


    "Hahaha, Liu Xiu, don''t use bows and arrows to pull the bowstring directly. Are you going to laugh us to death?" Cao Zhang''s eyes showed a look of disdain.


    "Shut up


    Cao Cao gave Cao Zhang a look of surprise.


    Although Cao Cao''s archery is not outstanding, he knows a lot about archery.


    A person who is proficient in archery will not shoot an arrow immediately without knowing the performance of a bow, but will test it. Pulling the bow string is to evaluate the toughness and strength of the bow itself.


    This move, you can see it is a person who is proficient in archery.


    XiahouDun, XiaHouYuan, caohong and others all narrowed their eyes and looked dignified.


    Everyone''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu.


    At this moment, Liu Xiu is the focus.


    The moment Liu Xiu pulled the bow string, he tried out the power of this iron fetal bow.


    120 Jin!


    This is the ultimate strength of the iron tire bow in hand.


    "Pa!"


    Suddenly, there was a crisp sound.


    The iron bow in Liu Xiu''s hand broke.


    All of a sudden, everyone''s eyes are staring straight, Cao Zhang and Dian man are even more silly eyes.


    This is the iron tire bow!


    Such a bow, need a lot of strength to open, but Liu Xiu easily, a pull broken.


    "Gudong!"


    Cao Zhang swallowed his saliva and asked, "you, how did you break it?"


    Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "the iron tire bow can''t bear my strength, so it will break naturally. Isn''t that normal? "


    When XiahouDun and XiaHouYuan looked at each other, they had a bad feeling.


    Cao Cao touched the sword around his waist. He wore the heaven reliant sword around his waist. The green sword was carried by a special person.


    It''s just that there''s always a bad feeling.


    Cao Cao was calm and said, "come on, change a bow!" At that moment, another soldier came with an iron tire bow, which is also an iron tire bow. However, there are subtle differences between the bow string and the bow itself, and the strength they bear has also increased a lot.


    Cao Cao said, "Mr. Liu said that people should not judge their appearance. I think that''s true. Mr. Liu is not as big as dianman and Cao Zhang, but his strength is amazing. Please try this bow, Mr. Liu


    After Liu Xiu took it, he took it in his hand and weighed it over.


    In front of the crowd, once again pulled the bow string.


    "Pa!"


    With a crisp sound, the new iron tire bow broke again.


    The corner of Cao Zhang''s mouth twitches. He still expects Liu Xiu to pull his bow. Unexpectedly, it breaks in an instant. It''s too cruel.


    Dian man smashed it, smashed it, his eyes were shocked.


    This power alone is appalling.


    Cao Cao''s generals were shocked when they looked at Liu Xiu.


    In Liu Xiu''s heart, he laughed.


    Bowing and archery, but also pay attention to certain skills. On the premise of no archery, if you want to break the bow string or pull the bow itself, you only need to use a little clumsy strength to achieve the effect.


    As soon as Liu Xiu came up, he would shoot arrows directly, which was difficult to achieve the effect of deterring Cao Cao and his subordinates.


    He made Cao Cao and others look up to him.On martial arts, he also wanted to shock Cao Cao''s generals.


    Liu Xiu looked at Cao Cao and said, "Sikong, I''m really sorry. I broke another iron bow. Well, I can only trouble Sikong to change a slightly stronger bow. "


    Cao Cao''s heart was cold, but he had a smile on his face and said, "come on, change the bow!"


    The soldier quickly turned around and soon got another bow.


    This bow is 160 Jin. It needs more strength to pull the bow string.


    Cao Cao looked at Liu Xiu with expectant eyes.


    Cao Zhang and Dian man also look forward to it. They don''t expect Liu Xiu to break the bowstring, they expect Liu Xiu to make a fool of himself. In an instant, they heard a crisp sound.


    "Alas..."


    A sigh rang out among Cao Cao''s officials.


    There was another disappointment.


    Cao Cao blinked and touched his sword.


    Liu Xiu laughed innocently and said: "Sikong, the power of the iron tire bow doesn''t need to be added up little by little. He takes more than 200 Jin iron tire bow directly. Lest the earth be full of broken bows, and yet delay in archery


    Cao Cao nodded and arranged it immediately.


    However, Cao Cao looked at Liu Xiu with a look of shock.


    Under Cao Cao''s command, there are also people who are good at archery, such as Dian Wei, who was not only good at bows and arrows, but also good at throwing halberds.


    Under his account, Xia Houdun, Xu Chu and others were also archers.


    These people''s arm strength is more than 200 Jin.


    The iron fetal bows used are specially made for bows and arrows to meet their strength.


    Among the young generals, there are few such people.


    Liu Xiu, a man of less than 20 years old, is also a scholar. However, it is inconceivable that there is so much power hidden in this thin and vigorous body.


    Soon, the soldiers came with ten big bows, each of which had a different strength.


    Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Mr. Liu, please!"


    Liu Xiu carefully selected each bow and weighed it in his hand. Finally, he selected an iron fetal bow and said, "this iron fetal bow should bear about 250 Jin."


    When Cao Cao heard the speech, he immediately looked at the soldier, who nodded his head.


    Cao Cao saw this small detail in his eyes.


    Just weighing it over, you can confirm the strength of a bow, which is quite extraordinary.


    Cao Zhang laughed and said, "Liu Xiu, archery is not only about the strength, but also about the control of bow and arrow. Your power is good, but the accuracy of archery is hard to say. In particular, the greater the force a bow bears, the faster the speed and the more difficult it is to grasp the accuracy. "


    Everyone nodded and agreed with Cao Zhang.


    Liu Xiu seemed very confident and said, "I''m not sure. I have to try before I know."


    "Arrow


    Liu Xiu held the bow in his left hand and spread it out in his right. Immediately, the soldier handed over a feather arrow. Liu Xiuxing put his bow and arrow on the string of the bow. He suddenly pulled the string of the bow and let go of the bow and arrow.


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Cao Zhang chuckled and said, "Liu Xiu, look at the bow and arrow you shot. It has already gone to heaven. Do you want to shoot birds?"


    Dianman and other officials also laughed.


    I''m afraid it doesn''t take 120 steps, not even 50.


    Cao Cao saw Liu Xiu''s meaning and said, "Mr. Liu, you don''t have to try again. You don''t have to waste any more time. Let''s shoot. I believe this is not your level. "


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "I know I can''t hide Sikong''s eye."


    Cao Zhang and others stopped laughing and looked at Liu Xiu with a look of hatred. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu made fun of him on purpose.

 Chapter 74

    Wenpin stares at Liu Xiu, with curiosity in his eyes, and even feels that Liu Xiu is mysterious.


    Liu Xiu, whom wenpin knew, was good at both literature and martial arts, but he didn''t show his archery talent. From the performance just now, Wen pin can see that Liu Xiu is good at archery, and archery is also quite exquisite.


    In wenpin''s heart, an idea suddenly came out. What other means did Liu Xiu not show?


    What are Liu Xiuhui''s things?


    In wenpin''s mind, Liu Xiu is like a mystery.


    This is wenpin''s idea at this time.


    Liu Xiu looked at Cao Zhang and said, "in terms of archery, my level is really average. I don''t dare to compete with Cao Zhang and general dianman. Let''s choose one hundred steps for the time being."


    As soon as these words came out, Cao Zhang and Dian man were excited again.


    Looking at Liu Xiu''s eyes, he showed a proud look.


    "A hundred steps!"


    Cao Zhang didn''t even think about it. He turned around and ordered him to go down.


    Soldiers a hundred paces away immediately prepared their targets and set them up on the ground.


    Cao Zhang has a strong sense of pride in his heart. Liu Xiugang is just so arrogant, but now he only chooses one hundred steps. It''s really disappointing.


    A barking dog doesn''t bite. This sentence is used to describe Liu Xiu.


    Cao Zhang had a bright smile and said, "Mr. Liu, please."


    Up to now, Cao Zhang rarely calls Mr. Liu a name, but such a name is disrespectful and ironic.


    Dian man shook his head and said, "Liu Xiu, one hundred steps is too close. It''s disappointing."


    Two people sing one song and one harmony, virtually, is exerting pressure on Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu was older than all the people present. His heart had already reached the point where he was not surprised by the waves.


    In Liu Xiu''s mind, the words of Dian man and Cao Zhang couldn''t make waves.


    Only Cao Cao, eyes slightly narrowed, heart alert.


    Liu Xiu is a cunning boy. I''m afraid that his 100 steps are also a secret plan.


    But Liu Xiu was very honest and said, "my archery is very common, so for the sake of safety, I choose one hundred steps first. If you hit a 100 step target by chance, choose another 120. At least, it can prove that I can shoot arrows. "


    Listening to Cao Cao, he felt strange.


    In Cao Cao''s eyes, Liu Xiu is definitely not a master willing to suffer losses.


    However, Cao Cao did not understand what Liu Xiu would do.


    They looked at Liu Xiu and waited for him to shoot again.


    "Arrow


    When Liu Xiu showed his hand, the soldier took down another feather arrow and put it in Liu Xiu''s hand.


    His feet diverged on the ground, slightly side, slender body, suddenly burst out a strong force. With the bow in hand and the arrow on the bowstring, he aimed at the target.


    A little cold light flashed over the arrow of the feather arrow.


    "Hum!"


    The bowstring vibrated, and a streamer of light flashed through the eyes of the people.


    "Bang!"


    A dull voice suddenly came from the front.


    Cao Zhang couldn''t wait to ask, "did you hit the target?"


    A hundred paces away, the soldier saw the situation on the target. He couldn''t help swallowing his saliva and replied in a loud voice: "the arrow hit the red heart, the arrow pierced the target, and half of the shaft remained on the target."


    "Hiss!"


    A cold breath came from the mouth of Cao Cao''s officials.


    Looking at Liu Xiu''s eyes, he was even more shocked.


    It''s terrible to shoot an arrow through the target with such power and precision.


    Cao Zhang''s face has no proud look, because let him shoot, can''t shoot through the target. This archery, he felt inferior.


    Dian man clenched his fist and said against his heart, "it''s not surprising that a hundred step accurate shot pierces the target."


    Cao Cao looked at the target in the distance, stroked his sword again, and then looked at Liu Xiu, waiting for Liu Xiu to speak. In his opinion, Liu Xiu must have a way out.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "drag the target 120 paces away."


    In a word, Cao Zhang''s face changed, including dianman, and his eyes also showed a nervous look.


    Their strongest strength is 120 steps.


    Now, Liu Xiu''s challenge of 120 steps is to challenge them directly.


    After the soldiers set the target, Liu Xiu asked the soldiers to take the feather arrow, and then aimed at the target 120 paces away.


    This time, Liu took a deep breath and released his bow and arrow.


    The bow and arrow that came out of the string flew through the air, and then hit the target with a bang. With a click, the arrow of the feather arrow still penetrated the target. But it was just the arrow that went through, and the shaft didn''t move on.


    When the news was reported back, Cao Zhang and Dian''s face was not a bit complacent, only pale.


    With that alone, they have lost.Cao Zhang took a deep breath, but he didn''t admit defeat. He said in a loud voice: "father, my son asked to shoot again and try again. Just now, my son didn''t give full play to his strength. "


    Cao Cao cheered: "if you lose, you will lose. I asked you to shoot again before. Now, do you want to play tricks?"


    The words made Cao Zhang blush.


    Cao Cao looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Liu, I am willing to accept defeat."


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he admired Cao Cao''s spirit. He took a look at Cao Zhang and said, "young master Cao Zhang is not convinced, but it doesn''t matter. Archery is not over yet."


    When they heard this, they were curious.


    What tricks does Liu Xiu have to play?


    Everyone looked at Liu Xiu and knew that Liu Xiu was not a simple man. His plan was one link at a time.


    I''m afraid Cao Zhang is going to lose.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "summon the soldiers to pull the target to the position of 140 steps."


    Sure enough, when Cao Zhang heard this, he was dumb, and his eyes were full of disbelief.


    One hundred and forty steps!


    At this distance, although the arrow can reach the target after shooting, it will lose its aim if it shakes in the air.


    Absolutely impossible!


    Cao Zhang''s eyes were full of disbelief.


    Liu xiudao: "feather arrow for iron arrow, is there iron arrow in the camp?"


    "Yes!"


    At this moment, XiahouDun opened his mouth, and he said, "come, take Ben''s iron arrow."


    The iron arrow used by XiahouDun was specially made.


    Liu Xiu was surprised. Cao xiatie and Chu Dun didn''t know that they used the bow and arrow. To be able to use iron arrows proves that the archery of the two men is perfect.


    Soon, the soldier brought the iron arrow.


    Liu Xiu held an iron bow with an iron arrow on the bowstring and aimed at the target 140 paces away.


    "Yes


    A low drink, only to listen to the whistling sound, then sounded.


    The sharp iron arrow pierces the target in an instant.


    After penetrating the target, the whole iron arrow went on, flew a certain distance, and then fell to the ground. Compared with the feather arrow, the power of the iron arrow is not doubled, but multiplied.


    Seeing this, the soldier in front of him looked frightened and said in a loud voice: "the iron arrow pierced the target and flew ten steps to the ground."


    When the sound came back, there was no sound.


    They looked at Liu Xiu as if they were staring at a monster.


    Cao Zhang clenched his fist and then loosened it. After several times of this, his rapid breathing calmed down a little.


    Cao Cao knew that there was no need to compete any more. He said, "come on, take the official''s green sword." The general came with his sword in his hands and handed it to Cao Cao. His eyes were full of sadness.


    Cao Cao then said, "Mr. Liu, Qingchen sword is yours."


    Seeing this, Cao Zhang was red eyed and regretted.


    Liu Xiu didn''t receive it. He shook his head and said, "Qingchen sword is Sikong''s favorite sabre. A gentleman doesn''t win people''s favor. Therefore, I don''t want the Qingchen sword. Just now, it was just a joke. "


    Cao Cao shook his head and said, "I''m willing to accept defeat. I still have this measure. Does Mr. Liu think that I can''t afford to lose? "


    Liu xiudao: "nature is not!"


    Cao Cao said: "if so, take it. It''s not surprising that it''s a green sword. When Mr. Liu works for me, even Mr. Liu belongs to me, not to mention a green sword, eh


    In his words, he showed his determination to win Jingzhou potential.


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he knew that it was not only a method of arousing generals, but also a manifestation of Cao Cao''s spirit. Cao Cao is far more generous than Yuan Shao and Liu Biao.


    Cao Cao''s gift of Qingchen sword was sincere.


    Liu xiudao: "Sikong said so. If I refuse again, it will be hypocritical. It''s better to be respectful than obedient. I''ll take the sword. I''m afraid it''s not easy for Sikong to recruit me. "


    In response to Cao Cao''s words, it is said that it is not so easy for Cao Cao to attack Jingzhou.


    Cao Cao laughed and said, "everything will wait and see."

 Chapter 75

    It''s a martial arts show, but it''s not over.


    In a word, Cao Cao''s intention failed completely.


    Because of Liu Xiu''s disturbance, Cao Cao''s action of deterring Jingzhou and Jiangdong finally failed. Even Liu Xiu''s archery shocked Cao Cao and his men.


    Back in the carriage, wenpin said excitedly: "the performance of young master today is brilliant. Cao Zhang and Dian man''s faces were already going crazy at that time. Moreover, one of Cao Cao''s literary ministers and military generals was withered, and they looked pale and defeated. They could no longer be arrogant. "


    Mr. pound frowned and said, "I''m afraid Zhang is the happiest now."


    Wen pin was stunned and asked, "why did Pang Gong say that? "


    pound is fair:" Cao Cao''s wish for the birthday of the emperor is intended to suppress Jingzhou and Jiangdong and make them fear. Unexpectedly, Xiuer let Jingzhou Wenwu despair. Today''s performance of martial arts has made Cao Zhang and Dian man unable to fight back. "


    "These two times, Xiu''er is in the limelight."


    "The people who offend Cao Cao are all Xiuer and Jingzhou."


    "On the contrary, it''s Zhang Zhen who doesn''t speak alone, and he''s more willing to be a foil. Anyway, this time he didn''t lose Jiangdong''s face and finished the task of celebrating his birthday. "


    "The most important thing is that Jingzhou and Cao Cao fight against each other, which is exactly what Zhang wants to see."


    Pang Degong said with emotion: "this time, Zhang has made a profit."


    Wen pin thought about it carefully and said, "Pang Gong didn''t remind me. I haven''t remembered yet. When you say that, it''s true. Zhang is not a simple person. "


    Liu Xiu smiles, but he doesn''t care much.


    After thinking about it, Liu xiudao said: "teacher, to be in the limelight or not to be in the limelight, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Let''s see what we think. If we don''t go up, we will lose the face of Jingzhou. "


    "Back in Jingzhou, it''s hard to explain to my father."


    "It''s a good thing for me to be in the limelight, even though I''m pushed to the top of the limelight."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes changed color and solemnly went on: "in Xu county, we are already on the cusp of the storm. It''s normal to be in danger. I have been prepared for this. "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "in fact, in Xu county, once we are threatened, or we encounter something, Cao Cao has a mouth and can''t say it clearly. To some extent, as long as we are in Xu county, Cao Cao must protect our safety. "


    Pound is fair: "even so, be careful."


    Liu Xiu nodded, but also to remind the public pound, bear in mind.


    When the carriage went back to the house, everyone went to work.


    ¡­¡­


    Sikong mansion, study.


    Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Xun you, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu took their seats.


    Cao Cao''s eyes sparkled with emotion and said: "Liu Xiu is a man of all-round ability in literature and martial arts. Such a person is really a rare talent. If it can be used for one''s own use, it will be a great help to the official. "


    To Liu Xiu, Cao Cao is more and more appreciative.


    The more he contacted, the more he felt that Liu Xiu was excellent.


    Compared with Yang Xiu and others, Liu Xiu is not proud, not stubborn, not arrogant, which is also appreciated by Cao Cao.


    Cheng Yu said: "my Lord loves his talents, but Liu Xiu is brave and resourceful, and he has a great sense of propriety. I''m afraid such people can''t be easily accepted. "


    Cao Cao said: "no talent can be easily accepted."


    Guo Jia took two deep breaths and said, "I agree with Zhong De Gong''s analysis. Moreover, I think Liu Xiu is not a man who is willing to give up."


    Cao Cao said, "but Liu Xiu is a common man."


    Guo Jia said: "everyone knows my Lord''s love for talent. It''s just that some people, even if they''re from a bad family, can''t accept it. For example, Guan Yu, the Lord, tried his best, but in the end, he could only be sentimental


    Referring to Guan Yu, Cao Cao''s face showed a look of regret.


    Cao Cao is very fond of Guan Yu, so far, he also appreciates Guan Yu''s martial arts and loyalty.


    Talent!


    In Cao Cao''s view, Guan Yu is a talent.


    Cao Cao chuckled and said: "although Yunchang didn''t accept it, at least he accepted my kindness. It''s a pity that Liu Bei is good at buying people''s hearts and letting Guan Yu follow him wholeheartedly. Otherwise, Yun Chang is already the right arm of the official. "


    Cheng Yu then said, "did you forget Liu Bei?"


    The corner of Cao Cao''s mouth twitched and said, "how can I possibly forget what happened to Mr. Zhongde and Liu Bei?"


    For Liu Bei, Cao Cao can''t forget.


    At this time, Cao Cao also regarded Liu Bei as a great enemy.


    Cheng Yu continued: "my lord appreciates Liu Bei and wants to use it for himself. But what about the end result? Liu Bei hated his Lord to the bone. No matter Liu Bei, or about him, they all failed. The LORD loves talent, so he should make a choice. "


    Cao Cao suddenly laughed and said, "it seems that you all think Liu Xiu can''t accept him."


    "But in my opinion, there are three reasons to accept Liu Xiu.""First of all, Liu Xiu is a son of the common people, and he is despised by Liu Biao. In such a situation, as long as the official wiped out Jingzhou and Liu Biao, Liu Xiu could be recruited. Because of Liu Biao, Liu Xiu could not avenge his father. Their father son relationship determines that there can be no deep hatred between Liu Xiu and his official. "


    "Second, Liu Xiu is not a royalist. Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others are the emperor, the little emperor of Liu Xie. But look at Liu Xiu. He has been in Xuxian County for such a long time, and he didn''t want to meet the emperor. He didn''t mention the emperor in his words. Besides, the emperor has no kindness to him. "


    "Third, Liu Xiu is proficient in literature and martial arts. It is impossible for such a person to remain anonymous. He has talent, he needs a place to show it. In today''s world, we are the only one who can give him such a platform. Even Liu Ye, a Han clan member, can be appointed, let alone Liu Xiu? "


    Cao Cao''s eyes glittered and said: "Liu Xiu is from Jingzhou now, and I can''t accept him for the time being. But when the army moves southward to Jingzhou and exterminates Liu Biao, they can accept Liu Xiu and put him on the agenda. "


    Guo Jia sighed and said, "my Lord is ambitious. I can''t wait."


    Cheng Yu said: "my Lord''s consideration is really good, but my Lord''s consideration has a premise."


    "What premise?" Asked Cao Cao.


    Cheng Yu said: "the premise is that the Lord can destroy Jingzhou."


    "Jingzhou a ground, turn palm to be able to take down, not to worry about the amount."


    Cao Cao''s eyes show contempt for Liu Biao. Liu Biao has the ability to govern the local area, but only in this way. He never put Liu Biao in his hands.


    Cheng Yu said: "if Liu Biao is in charge of Jingzhou, or if Liu Qi or Liu Cong of Liu Biao is in charge of Jingzhou after Liu Biao''s death, it will be very easy for the Lord to take Jingzhou."


    "However, once Liu Xiu rises, the difficulty will certainly increase."


    Cheng Yu''s eyes twinkled with light and said: "Liu Xiu is proficient in literature and martial arts. He is a young tiger. Once you grow up, it''s hard to deal with. "


    When Cao Cao heard the speech, he even laughed.


    Cheng Yu asked, "why does my lord laugh?"


    Cao Cao said, "what''s the point of taking Liu Xiu lightly? I hope Liu Xiu can take advantage of the situation when he returns to Jingzhou. It''s a lot of fun to fight with heroes in the world. It''s good to fight with Liu Xiu. "


    "I just want to show him what a real soldier is and what a real elite is."


    "If there is filial piety and filial piety, there will be more civil virtues. Wu has wonderful talent, Yuan rang and so on. Wen Chen and Wu generals are full of talents. Why are you afraid of Liu Xiu? "


    With a wave of his sleeve, Cao Cao said haughtily, "a Liu Xiu is not worth mentioning."


    Cheng Yu sighed, "my Lord is not as bold as I am."


    After two coughs, Guo Jia said slowly: "Liu Xiu is not valued by Liu Biao, but is excluded by Liu Cong. These two things can be provoked. It should be possible to increase the difficulty of Liu Xiu''s rise. "


    Cao Cao nodded and said, "this matter can be operated." Then he looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, you are responsible for the affairs of Jingzhou. Let someone stir up the relationship between Liu Biao, Liu Cong and Liu Xiu."


    Jia Xu nodded his head and said, "I will obey you in your humble duty."


    Cao Cao and his subordinates discussed Liu Xiu''s affairs, and also talked about government affairs and congratulation for the emperor''s birthday.

 Chapter 76

    Night in Xu county, the same month, but different places, the mood is naturally different.


    Liu Xiu suddenly found that he missed Huang Yueying.


    Unfortunately, there is no way of instant messaging in this era, except by letter. But Xu county is thousands of miles away from Xiangyang. Now he writes back to Xiangyang. When Huang Yueying''s reply is sent out, Liu Xiu is on his way back.


    Liu Xiu was not a sentimental person either. He adjusted his mind and went back to his study to read.


    "Dong! Dong


    Outside the study, there was a knock on the door.


    Deng AI''s clear voice rang out and said: "young master, a man named Fu Jun came up to the mansion and asked to see him. He said that he was the housekeeper of Fu Wan''s mansion."


    "Please go to the lobby." Liu Xiu said.


    Deng AI answered, then turned and left.


    Liu Xiu changed his clothes and went to the hall. The arrival of Fu Jun means that Liu Xiu has entered the sight of Fu Wan, or Liu Xie, the emperor.


    This step is exactly what Liu Xiu needs.


    Before Liu Bei met the emperor, his genealogy was not verified and was not recognized by the royal family. After meeting the emperor, he turned into a real uncle of the Han Dynasty, and his identity changed dramatically.


    There is no denying that Liu Xiu is the patriarch of the Han Dynasty.


    However, Liu Xiu was a commoner.


    Liu Xiu''s family background is a tough injury to him.


    Once recognized by the emperor, Liu Xiushu''s identity will be weakened to the greatest extent.


    When Liu Xiu came to the hall, he saw a well-dressed, elegant and kind-hearted old man standing with a bow. Seeing Liu Xiu coming, Fu Jun bowed to him and said, "old Fu Jun, I''d like to see you."


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and waved his hand to show that Fu Jun was seated.


    Then Liu Xiu asked, "housekeeper Fu is coming late at night. Is there anything important?"


    Fu didn''t sit down. He arched his hand and said, "I''ll tell you back. I''ve heard that xiugongzi has a good command of martial arts, and I admire him in my heart. Therefore, I''d like to invite Mr. Xiu to have a talk in the mansion. "


    Liu xiudao said: "the good intentions of the abbot, how can Liu Xiu refuse? When?"


    Fu Jun replied, "it''s tonight."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "housekeeper Fu, wait a moment. I''ll change my clothes and go with housekeeper Fu right away."


    Fu Jun nodded, and Liu Xiu got up and went to the back yard.


    Liu Xiu went to see Pang Degong and reported: "teacher, I''m invited late at night. I''m going to visit you."


    Pound said solemnly: "Xiuer, Fu Wan is the abbot of the state. If you see him, you may fall into the fight between Cao Cao and the emperor. You have to think about that. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and replied, "Cao Cao is a tiger, and the son of heaven is a wolf. It''s possible to drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf, or the wolves attack the tiger. I will grasp the relationship between the two sides. "


    Mr. pound nodded: "just understand yourself. Just do what you want."


    Liu practiced the rite, then turned and left.


    Back to the house, he changed his clothes and put a green sword on his waist. Then Liu Xiu and Fu Jun went out of the house and took a carriage to Fuwan mansion. Entering the mansion, Fu Jun leads Liu Xiu to the hall.


    When he came to the door of the hall, Fu Jun said, "master Xiu, I won''t go in. Please."


    Liu Xiu nodded and stepped in.


    The hall was empty, and Fuwan did not appear in the hall.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu was puzzled.


    What is the purpose of this?


    Liu Xiu came to the house after the invitation, but he couldn''t see anyone. Is this a special way to get down?


    Da! Da!


    A sound of footwork came from outside.


    Fu Wan, wearing a black robe, strides in. When he saw Liu Xiu, his face was filled with a bright smile, and he quickly said: "Mr. Liu, something happened at home, I went to deal with it. Sorry for the delay, Mr. Liu


    After Cao Cao called Liu Xiu "Mr. Liu", the name spread.


    When Fu Wan saw Liu Xiu, first of all, he could not determine Liu Xiu''s current position; second, Fu Wan could not separate from Liu Xiu Taisheng. The two reasons are superimposed, and Fu Wan also uses the name of Mr. Liu.


    Respect Liu Xiu, the scale is just right.


    After listening to the explanation, Liu Xiu couldn''t reproach him any more. He arched his hand and said, "my father-in-law is very polite. It''s normal for me to meet an emergency at home."


    Two people look at each other a smile, then guest host takes a seat.


    Fu Wan said: "as soon as Mr. Liu entered Xu county, he tried to defeat Cao Cao''s conspiracy, which is admirable. It''s a blessing for a great man to have Mr. Liu in the royal family. "


    Liu Xiu said, "my father-in-law praised me falsely. What I do is what I should do."


    Fu Wan''s eyes narrowed and asked, "how does Mr. Liu see the thief Cao?"


    With these words, Liu Xiu knew the purpose of Fu Wan. The title used in Fu Wan''s words is Cao thief. First of all, it has indicated Fu Wan''s attitude. He is the true confidant of the emperor and is irreconcilable with Cao Cao.On this basis, Fu Wan asked Liu Xiu''s opinion again. To some extent, he forced Liu Xiu to state his position.


    It''s Cao Cao or the emperor.


    This problem is the trial that Fu Wan threw to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu could only sneer at this situation.


    Liu Xiu is not a three-year-old child. On the contrary, Liu Xiu knows the outcome of Fu Wan and the outcome of Fu Wan''s daughter, empress Fu. A few years later, Fu Wan died of illness, and then, Queen Fu Shou was killed.


    It is impossible for the Fu family to help the little emperor take charge of the imperial platform.


    Today''s Cao Cao, unifying the north, has become a general trend, both inside and outside the court are Cao Cao''s people.


    It is impossible for Fu Wan and others to overthrow the control of Cao Cao.


    It is impossible for Liu Xiu to say these words. Liu Xiu is a member of the royal family, and his identity is his position.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said: "the thief Cao should be a capable minister in governing the world and a traitor in troubled times. He is a man of extraordinary courage and ability. But now, with the rise of wars, Cao Cao is the thief of the Han Dynasty. In one day, the emperor will not be in charge of the world. "


    Liu Xiu also called Cao thief the title of Cao Cao.


    His words were in response to Fu Wan and made clear his position.


    After listening, Fu''s face showed a knowing smile and even a smile.


    Obviously, Liu Xiu''s position is based on Hanshi.


    Fu Wan took a deep breath, but he said with a smile that he gradually became dignified. He said with emotion, "Mr. Liu, do you know the situation of the emperor now?"


    Liu xiudao said: "it''s not good if there are thieves everywhere."


    Fu Wan looked miserable and said, "it''s more than a constraint? In the womb of the sky, the eyes of Cao thief are everywhere. Every move of the emperor was reported to the thief Cao. The army in the imperial city is the army of Cao thief. "


    "The son of heaven in the palace is like a cage."


    "Besides, the officials in the court, the Cao thief controlled the platform of the court and killed Zhongliang. The important officials in the whole court were all his people. Every day when he goes to court, the emperor is like a puppet. "


    Fu Wan said, choked up, and said: "Mr. Liu, the emperor is trapped inside and outside. He is in a very difficult situation. Even the ordinary people can''t match him."


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu''s face also followed with grief.


    Fu end all a pair of mournful appearance, his face is still hanging a smile, is not self seeking boring?


    Liu Xiu also had contact with Liu Xie when he was in Xu county in his previous life.


    Liu Xie, who had experienced so many things in his childhood, had a cold temper. All he cares about is his life.


    In the fifth year of Jian''an, Liu Xie was unwilling to be a puppet. He ordered his concubine Dong Guiren''s father Dong Cheng to kill Cao Cao. Dong Chenghe, Liu Bei, Zhong Ji, Wu Zilan, Wang Zifu and others conspired, and finally the matter came to light.


    At this time, the pregnant Dong Guiren was also on the list of those killed.


    Dong Guiren asked Liu Xie for help, but Liu Xie ignored him and watched him be killed.


    In the 19th year of Jian''an, empress Fu''s plot to kill Cao Cao came to light. Also in the palace, empress Fu was also facing the result of being killed. She asked Liu Xie for help, but Liu Xie did not fight. She also said that it was unreasonable for Empress Fu to ask for help from a person who had no choice but to die.


    In fact, Cao Cao needed Liu Xie as a puppet, and it was impossible to kill Liu Xie with Cao Cao''s heart knot in the Han Dynasty. If Liu Xie fights, the outcome of Dong Guiren and empress Fu may change.


    However, Liu Xie was afraid and chose to get rid of the relationship and protect himself.


    Liu Xiu didn''t like such a person. Perhaps Liu Xie is because of the environment he lived in when he was a child, but he even ignored his wife and children. This is something Liu Xiu extremely despises.

 Chapter 77

    Fu finished with tears, the corner of the eye is also looking at Liu Xiu.


    Seeing Liu Xiu''s sad face and dignified look, his heart suddenly fell to the ground.


    It seems that Liu Xiu, the Han clan, is really on the side of the emperor. Unlike Liu Ye''s Han clan, who had royal blood, he never considered for the emperor, but stood on Cao Cao''s side.


    Liu Xiu, with a dignified face, sighed: "father-in-law, it is well known that the emperor is trapped in the shoal. But in Xu county, Cao thief is very powerful, even if I have the heart, I can''t do anything. Even when I was in Xu county, I was the fish in the hands of the Cao thief, and I was slaughtered by the Cao thief. "


    Fu Wan said: "Mr. Liu, just because of this, we need to take the thief Cao."


    Liu Xiu asked: "how to take it?"


    After listening, the expression on his face became dignified.


    Liu Xiu once again said, "father-in-law, have you forgotten the result of general Dong Cheng? To overthrow the thief Cao, we must succeed, not fail. If you don''t succeed, the clan will be involved. The abbot must think twice before he acts. "


    Fu Wan''s face became very embarrassed.


    There was a trace of panic in his eyes.


    If in order to save the son of heaven, to catch up with the whole Fu family, this is what Fu Wan does not want to see.


    In fact, Fu Wan is loyal to the emperor, but more loyal to the Fu family.


    In history, empress Fu Shou sent letters to Fu Wan several times to plot to get rid of Cao Cao. In the end, Fuwan chose forbearance. When Fuwan died, he didn''t start.


    Liu Xiu''s plan is to intimidate Fu Wan and let Fu Wan die.


    Because Liu Xiu is not going to participate.


    After biting his teeth, he said, "Mr. Liu, this is the plan to kill the thief Cao. I''m going to invite the thief Cao to our house for a banquet, and then ambush the swordsmen on both sides of the hall. At the banquet, kill the thief Cao. "


    Liu Xiu''s face became tense.


    This scheme is too hasty.


    To kill Cao Cao with such a stratagem is to seek death, and to despise Cao Cao too much.


    Liu Xiu didn''t want to get involved, but he couldn''t refuse.


    After a little thought, Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "there are too many loopholes in killing Cao thief at the banquet. This is not to kill Cao Cao, but to kill himself. "


    Fu Wan asked: "I''m also worried about the immature strategy, so I''ll talk to Mr. Liu and ask him to analyze it."


    Liu xiudao: "there are three loopholes in the stratagem!"


    "First, there are no soldiers in the city. In Xu county, because Dong Cheng, Zhong Ji and others were killed, there was no one who held military power and was loyal to his majesty. Now Cao Cao does not allow his Majesty''s people to control military power. "


    "In the past, situ Wang Yun succeeded in killing Dong Zhuo because Lu Bu was in charge of military power and could quickly pacify the rebellion."


    "Now, however, the situation is different. Once Cao Cao is killed, but there is no army to counter the rebellion. When Cao Cao''s army comes back, the father-in-law will be the first to be killed. In chaos, your majesty may also be killed. "


    Liu Xiu had a sharp look in his eyes and said: "the first key is that the person in charge of the military power must have an army to calm down the turbulence in the city, otherwise he will surely fail."


    After listening to Liu Xiu''s analysis, Fu felt a cold sweat.


    In my eyes, it''s fear.


    Fu Wan''s face was full of sincerity. He arched his hand and said, "Mr. Liu, please continue!"


    Liu xiudao: "second, there is no teacher of King Qin."


    "Wang Yun killed Dong Zhuo, and then used Lv Bu to calm down the chaos in Luoyang and successfully took charge of the government. However, because there was no army outside, Li Xi and Guo Si came to kill him, and the army fought back. Lu Bu was unable to resist. In the end, Wang Yun died and his family was destroyed. "


    "If we want to kill the Cao bandits, we must prevent the army that Cao bandits arranged in Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou and other places from fighting back. Otherwise, even if the thief Cao was killed, even if the rebels in the city were blocked, it would not last long. "


    "Once the army of Cao bandits is killed, they will surely be defeated."


    With worry in his eyes, Liu Xiu said, "the teacher of King Qin must be considered in advance."


    After pondering for a moment, he said, "is your father Jing Shenggong competent?"


    Cao Cao unified the north, leaving Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang, Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu in Bashu, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Sun Quan in Jiangdong. Among these people, Ma Teng and Han Sui can''t be expected, Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu in Bashu can''t be expected.


    The only one is Liu Biao.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu said with a smile, "father-in-law, I can''t tell about my father."


    Fu finished pondering, then understood.


    Liu Xiu''s situation in Jingzhou is well known.


    Fu Wan asked, "Mr. Liu is proficient in military strategy. What if you are in charge of the army?"


    Liu Xiu said without hesitation: "Your Majesty is in trouble. I am duty bound. But I don''t have the right to fight. It''s a fact that can''t be changed. "


    Fu Wan said: "I heard that your father''s health is not very good?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were awe inspiring, and he said in a deep voice, "what''s the meaning of Guozhang?"


    There was a trace of anger in the tone.Facing his father-in-law, Liu Xiu knew that he was an old fox. Liu Xiu can''t take the initiative to say that he wants Liu Biao to die. At this time, Liu Xiu must stand by Liu Biao and be a loyal and filial son.


    Fu Wan saw Liu Xiu''s change, waved his hand and said, "don''t worry, Mr. Liu. I didn''t want you to usurp Jingzhou."


    "Hoo


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he was relieved.


    Fu Wan pressed down his thoughts and said, "Mr. Liu, let''s get back to the point first. You go on."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "third, it''s impossible to kill the thief Cao at the banquet."


    "How treacherous the thief Cao is! When he comes to the banquet, he must bring Xu Chu and other tiger generals. Xu Chu''s bravery is beyond ordinary people''s power. "


    "Once they started, they would kill Xu Chu in a short period of time, even if the father-in-law was numerous and powerful."


    "As long as things get out, Cao thief''s soldiers will surely rush in."


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Cao thief''s soldiers have entered the house. What chance does the abbot have? It is impossible for such a scheme to succeed in plotting to kill the thief Cao. "


    After listening to this, Fu said with emotion, "what Mr. Liu said surprised me in a cold sweat."


    Liu xiudao said, "if you want to kill the thief Cao, you must have a long-term plan."


    Fu Wan nodded slightly, put down his thoughts, and then said, "Mr. Liu, come back to Jingzhou military power. I have such consideration. Do you think it is feasible? "


    Liu xiudao: "I''m all ears."


    Fu Wan zhengse said: "your father is not in good health. He will inevitably face the problem of who will inherit Jingzhou herdsmen. Today, the world is in chaos. Your majesty can''t directly intervene in the city of Ji, but for Mr. Liu, your majesty can issue an imperial edict. "


    "What edict?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Fu Wan''s eyes were sharp, and he said: "after Jingsheng is a hundred years old, you will inherit Jingzhou. In this way, Mr. Liu can rightly grasp Jingzhou. At that time, there will be a division of King Qin. "


    "As Mr. Liu said, both inside and outside the country need troops. Therefore, I have to spend time looking for people who have military power in Xu county, and Mr. Liu also needs to wait and prepare. "


    Fu Wan said: "Your Majesty is still young, there is enough time, so we slowly wait for the opportunity."


    Liu Xiu gave a thumbs up and praised: "the father-in-law is mature and prudent. This is the blessing of the country and his majesty."


    Fu Wan chuckled and said, "please rest assured, Mr. Liu. I will solve the problem of the imperial edict as soon as possible, and then hand it over to Mr. Liu."


    Looking at Liu Xiu''s eyes, a thought-provoking color appeared.


    Fu Wan was an old fox. He believed that Liu Xiu would take positive actions after the imperial edict was issued. As for whether Liu Xiu seizes power or kills Liu Biao, it''s not his business. It only needs Liu Xiu to take charge of Jingzhou.


    What Liu Xiu thought was not king Qin.


    Once there is an imperial edict to inherit Jingzhou, after Liu Biao''s death, he will inherit Jingzhou.


    Although each state practices family rule, it is its own heirs who inherit the family property. However, the real procedure is that the state herdsmen need to be appointed by the emperor. It is only because the states act on their own and it is difficult to implement the emperor''s decrees that such a situation occurs.


    When Liu Xiu had the imperial edict, it was different.

 Chapter 78

    It was late at night when Liu Xiu returned to his residence.


    After quarreling with Fu, Liu Xiu understood that he had made money this time. No matter what Fu Wan''s intention is, Liu Xiu must have benefited.


    After Liu Xiu finished washing, just ready to rest, Deng AI came to the door, reported: "young master, general Wen came in the evening, I have something to see you."


    Liu xiudao: "I know. I''ll go to him."


    Out of the door, Liu Xiu let Deng AI rest early, then toward wenpin rest bedroom line.


    The oil lamp is still on in wenpin''s room.


    "Dong! Dong


    Liu Xiu stepped forward, knocked on the door and said, "general Zhongye, it''s me."


    After a while, the door opened. Wenpin stood at the door of the room and said, "you don''t need to come in person. Let Xiaoai inform you that you will go."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "it''s not in the way


    Wenpin welcomed Liu Xiu into the room, and they sat down. Liu Xiu said, "is there any news about Zhang Zhen?"


    Wen pin said, "I have found out."


    "Talk about the specific situation, the more detailed the better," Liu asked


    Wenpin said, "the general who protected Zhang was Zhou Tai. He was in Jiangdong and was Sun Quan''s personal guard. Zhang Zhen sent an envoy to Xu county, and Sun Quan specially asked Zhou Tai to protect him. "


    For Zhou Tai, Liu Xiu knew that he was a tiger general.


    Liu Xiu frowned and said, "it''s Zhou Tai who protects Zhang Zhen. If it''s Zhou Tai, there will be some trouble."


    Wen pin asked, "do you know Zhou Tai, too?"


    Liu xiudao: "I know some of them. It is said that they are very brave and powerful."


    Wenpin said: "Zhou Tai is one of the best in Jiangdong in terms of martial arts. The last general had made a special investigation and observed the man''s condition. Zhou Tai is a man with strong footwall, strong arms and high temple. In terms of martial arts alone, I''m afraid that the end general is not his opponent. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "general Zhongye is modest!"


    Wenpin zhengse way: "the end will tell the truth."


    Liu Xiu asked again, "what''s the situation with the soldiers around Zhou Tai?"


    Wenpin said: "when Zhang Zhen was sent to Xu county, Zhou Tai had 100 soldiers around him. These 100 soldiers, after the last general''s observation, were regarded as absolutely elite. Even, no less than Cao Cao''s tiger and leopard riding. "


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were solemn and said, "Sun Quan is really worried about Zhang''s safety. It can be seen from this that Zhang is extremely important in Sun Quan''s heart."


    Wen pin nodded his head and said, "whether it''s Zhang Zhen or Zhou Tai, they are all important officials of Jiangdong. Naturally, Sun Quan should be well protected." After a pause, Wen pin asked, "young master, do you want me to inquire about them?"


    Liu xiudao said: "both Zhou Tai and Zhang Zhen are the great enemies of Jingzhou. This time when we go to Cao Cao''s territory and kill them, we don''t have to be responsible, but we can still add obstacles to Cao Cao''s territory. Why not? To weaken Jiangdong is to strengthen Jingzhou. "


    Wenpin looked nervous, and even said: "young master, this is Xu county. Every move we make is under the surveillance of Cao Cao. If something goes wrong, we will certainly be tracked down. At the end of the day, we will think that Xu county is not suitable to do it. "


    Liu xiudao: "to start, it''s impossible to be in Xu county."


    "Hoo


    Wen pin was relieved when he heard the speech.


    Liu Xiu continued: "my plan is to wait for the end of the birthday and start on Zhang''s way out. At that time, it''s hard to trace the killing of Zhang Dan and Zhou Tai. "


    Wenpin said: "young master, if you want to kill Zhou Tai, there is still a problem."


    "What''s the problem?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Wen pin replied: "in terms of the level of elite, our people are not as good as the soldiers under Zhou Tai."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "general Zhongye is the leader of the army. Don''t you know how to arrange troops? It is not impossible to defeat the enemy with a small number and defeat the strong with the weak. As long as the arrangement is reasonable, everything is possible. "


    Wen pin was silent when he heard the speech.


    In Cao Cao''s territory, Wen pin found it very difficult to ambush Zhou Tai and Zhang Dan.


    Especially when every move is monitored, it is even more difficult. If you fight on the battlefield, wenpin is sure to defeat Zhou Tai and his soldiers.


    Such a situation is not easy to operate.


    Liu Xiu looked serious and said, "the soldiers are crafty. You can always find opportunities when you start planning now. For example, which road they will take when they leave Xuxian county to return, we can set ambush on the road; for another example, we can draw up the other party''s soldiers, take them for their own use, and then wait for the opportunity to start. In short, the idea is to take Tai and Zhang. To kill them is to cut off Sun Quan''s arm. "


    Wenpin gritted his teeth and said, "don''t worry, young master. The appointment will be completed."


    Liu xiudao: "I believe that general Zhongye will be able to successfully complete the task."


    ¡­¡­


    Jiangdong mission, residence.


    Late at night, the lights of Zhang''s residence are still flickering.


    Zhou Tai came to the study, knocked on the door, and then pushed the door in. Seeing that Zhang Zhen was still writing at his desk, Zhou Tai advised him, "Mr. Zhang, it''s late at night now. Please have a rest early."Zhang Zhen saw Zhou Tai and said, "you Ping, sit down for a while."


    Zhou Tai sat down and waited quietly.


    It took him about half a quarter of an hour to stop writing.


    When he put the letter in an envelope and handed it to Zhou Tai, Zhang said, "up to now, Cao Cao has not informed us of a definite time to celebrate the emperor''s birthday, so we can''t decide when we will return. About Liu Xiu, we must send it back to Jiangdong. This letter will be sent back immediately. "


    Zhou Tai nodded and put the letter on him.


    Zhang said: "these days, I''m observing Liu Xiu. He must be a great enemy of the east of the Yangtze River. So we have to find a way to get rid of it. "


    Zhou Tai said, "how does Duke Zhang plan to get rid of Liu Xiu?"


    At this time, Zhou Tai was slightly excited and said, "if necessary, he can disguise himself and assassinate Liu Xiu. Although Liu Xiu is outstanding in martial arts, he is far inferior to the last general. "


    Zhang Zhen shook his head and said, "if you do it yourself, it''s equivalent to beating Cao Cao''s face directly. In Xu county, it''s the stupidest way to deal with Liu Xiu. "


    "What''s Zhang Gong''s suggestion?" Zhou Tai asked


    "On this point, we are operating behind the scenes," Zhang said. Qingchen sword gives the space for operation. After you go down, send someone to publicize it. There must be someone who is going to trouble Liu Xiu. As long as someone deals with Liu Xiu, we can manipulate it. If Cao Cao can detain Liu Xiu or kill him, it will be the best result. "


    Zhou Tai nodded and said, "don''t worry, Mr. Zhang, we will finish the task."


    You can''t make a mistake yourself. Otherwise, once Cao Cao tracks us down, the consequences will be unimaginable. "


    Zhou Tai said, "don''t worry, Mr. Zhang!"


    Zhang Zhen waved his hand and asked Zhou Tai to step down.


    Sitting in the study, Zhang Zhen thought about dealing with Liu Xiu.


    As for Liu Xiu, Zhang Zhen is quite afraid. Once he returns to Jingzhou, he will inevitably set off waves, which will have an impact on Jiangdong and Jingzhou. Therefore, Zhang Zhen makes a decisive move.


    Zhang Jingjing sat, looking at the dark night outside the window, and murmured: "Liu Xiu, I''ll deal with you. I''m afraid you''re also trying to deal with me. We''ll see who is better than me. "


    He said to himself, showing Zhang''s mind.


    Zhang Zhen plans to deal with Liu Xiu, so Liu Xiu will certainly do it. Therefore, Zhang arranged for the soldiers to strengthen their vigilance and strictly ordered them to leave without permission to avoid problems.

 Chapter 79

    The next morning, Liu Xiu had breakfast and took Deng AI out of the house for morning exercise.


    Deng AI read with pebbles. Gradually, his stuttering became less and less serious, and his speech became more fluent. In the morning, he followed Liu Xiuchen to practice, and his health was getting better and better. Although Deng AI also learned martial arts with Deng Zhan, most of the time he was with Liu Xiu. After all, he was Liu Xiu''s schoolboy.


    The morning air is the most comfortable.


    Liu Xiu took Deng AI to go back after morning exercise by the river.


    Deng AI said: "young master, I want to buy a sword."


    "Oh, you are less than ten years old. Do you want to use a sword now?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Deng AI looked a little shy and said, "I usually practice swords with wooden swords given by my master. But I always use a wooden sword, but I don''t have a real sword. I always feel that something is wrong. "


    Liu Xiu gently stroked Deng AI''s head and said with a smile, "let''s go. I''ll take you to buy a sword."


    With Deng AI, Liu Xiu ran to Nancheng market.


    In Nancheng, there is a street selling swords. This kind of sword is different from weapons such as sword, spear, halberd and spear. Knives, guns, arrows, etc. are all cutting troops, and there are few shops selling them.


    After all, the weapons used on the battlefield are controlled by the government.


    The sword is a gentleman''s sword, which is different. It''s not a cutting weapon. However, these shops are also under the supervision of the government.


    When they came to the south of the city, they were already on their way.


    The sun is burning, hanging across the sky.


    Liu Xiu and Deng AI entered a shop. Immediately, the shop owner came up with a friendly face and said with a smile: "do you want to buy a sword? You have definitely found the right place to come here. In this street, the Lujia sword shop is the most famous and has the longest history. The sword forged by the Lu family can definitely earn you face. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and waved: "Xiao AI, you can choose by yourself."


    "Well!"


    Deng AI nodded and chose for himself.


    Boss Lu knew that Liu Xiu was the payer. He still stood in front of Liu Xiu, pointed to the sword hanging in the shop, and said: "young master, please see, the sword on the left weapon shelf is collected from all over the world. Although it is rusty, it''s not sure that it was used by any prince or nobleman in history, and its value will be doubled."


    "Last year, a swordsman bought a sword. He found a sword of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, in his shop."


    "At that time, it caused a great sensation."


    Boss Lu waved his hand to the right and continued to introduce: "the weapon rack on the right displays ordinary swords. The price is moderate and suitable for ordinary people."


    "The young master is very noble. He is not an ordinary person, and his sword is not simple."


    "At least, the swords you buy must be of high quality."


    "Young master, please look at the weapon rack placed next to the wall. This row of swords was forged by the craftsmen of the Lu family. Among the swords of the Lu family, this is the best seller. "


    Boss Lu said: "my Lu family''s sword casting skill is inherited from the ancestor Lu Ban, and the forged sword is extraordinary. Once upon a time, Jiazu was an official in the imperial court, forging weapons for the imperial court. "


    Liu Xiu listened to the introduction and said, "since boss Lu is a man who knows the goods, how about my saber?"


    Boss Lu said, "is it really OK?"


    Words, through the excitement, more respect.


    For him, as long as the guests are comfortable, and then let the guests buy swords, that is a matter of course. Therefore, when Liu Xiu asked him to appreciate it, boss Lu agreed without thinking about it. Anyway, he flattered the visitors and was happy.


    It''s not the first time he''s met such a thing.


    Liu Xiu untied the sword, handed it to boss Lu and said, "come and have a look!"


    Boss Lu rubbed the handle of the sword, and his eyes changed. He has been selling swords. He is very sensitive to swords. As soon as he started, he realized that swords are unusual.


    Boss Lu took a deep breath and made a sudden effort on his hand.


    "Sonorous!"


    A clear sound, such as the sound of a dragon, immediately sounded.


    The sound of the blade coming out of the sheath made boss Lu look more dignified.


    At this time, he already knew that the sword in his hand was extraordinary. As the body of the sword came out of its sheath, a light like autumn water flowed on the body of the sword. Boss Lu praised the quality of the sword.


    Suddenly, boss Lu was stunned.


    "Qingchen!" Lu boss eyes a Lin, exclaimed: "this is Cao Sikong''s green sword!"


    The seal script on the sword -- Qingchen!


    Boss Lu is also a man who knows the goods. Then I think of the news that Cao Sikong lost his sword to Liu Xiu. In an instant, he understood the identity of Liu Xiu.


    "It''s Mr. Xiu. I have eyes and don''t know Mount Tai. Please forgive me."


    Lu boss heart, a burst of excitement.


    The famous Liu Xiu came to the shop to buy swords. Once this happened, he could publicize it for a while. In this street, Lu''s shops can take this opportunity to dominate other shops.Liu Xiu said with a smile: "unexpectedly, boss Lu is also concerned about Xu county."


    He took the sword from boss Lu and put it on his waist.


    Boss Lu said: "I''ve heard about the name of xiugongzi for a long time. It''s rare for Mr. Xiu to come here. The sword in the shop is chosen by Mr. Xiu at will. It''s a gift for Mr. Xiu. "


    Liu Xiu quickly refused, but boss Lu insisted on giving it away, so Liu Xiu had to answer.


    "Young master, I have chosen it."


    Deng AI chose a three foot long sword with simple style.


    Liu Xiu is a master of swordsmanship. When he looks at it, he thinks that this sword is in line with Deng AI''s identity. It is simple and generous, low-key and simple. It is suitable for Deng AI now. Liu Xiu nodded and was ready to say goodbye to boss Lu. Unexpectedly, boss Lu insisted on giving away his sword.


    Liu Xiu couldn''t refuse, so he carefully selected some rusty swords on the left.


    Suddenly, Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on a broad sword.


    The sword is about four inches wide and about six inches long. It''s just rusty on the sword.


    When Liu Xiu had Zhenshan sword and Qingchen sword, he didn''t want to choose them. He grabbed the rusty sword and said, "just choose this one."


    Boss Lu readily agreed and sent Liu Xiu away.


    After leaving the shop, Liu Xiu takes Deng AI to the residence. Back in the house, Deng AI busily went on his own, while Liu Xiu came to the yard. He didn''t have the heart to take the rust sword again. He threw it away and went on to the study.


    "Bang Dang!"


    Clear voice, on the ground, there is echo.


    The sound made Liu Xiu stop and look back at the rusty sword that fell on the ground.


    Liu Xiu believed that this rusty sword was made of pure iron, but its sound was different after landing. If it is forged with fine iron, there is no echo after landing.


    As soon as Liu Xiu heard it, he noticed the difference.


    Liu Xiu came back and picked up the rusty sword. Then his middle finger popped up and hit the rusty sword.


    "Oh


    A dull sound reverberated in the yard.


    In Liu Xiu''s ears, he heard the echo.


    "Is it empty? Is there a mystery in it


    There was a strange look in Liu Xiu''s eyes. After thinking about it, he held the rusty sword in his right hand, and the green sword in his left hand came out of its sheath, carrying the power of both hands, and then hit it suddenly.


    "Dang!"


    When the gold and iron strike each other, the green sword breaks the rust sword.


    As the green sword enters the scabbard, Liu Xiu looks at the place where the rusty sword is broken, and his eyes are surprised. In the body of the rusty sword, there is another layer. The outer layer of the sword body is equivalent to the scabbard, or the sword in the sword.


    However, the sword in the sword is thinner, but the body of the rusty sword is different. It is the length and width of the ordinary sword.


    The outer layer of sword body should be added artificially to protect the inner sword.


    Liu Xiu held the sword in his hand and suddenly fell to the ground. When the sword goes down, the shell of the rusty sword shows cracks, but it doesn''t break. Liu Xiu waved his sword continuously. Under the constant impact, the outermost layer of the sword body began to crack, and the hilt and the body of the sword broke.


    The outer layer of rusty sword, like a scabbard, fell off as a whole.


    The sword is shining in the sunshine.


    At a glance, Liu Xiu felt that it was a complete sword. Holding the sword in the hand is a special feeling. Liu Xiu picked up the sword and examined it carefully. He found that there was seal script on the sword. Liu Xiu was shocked when he saw the seal script.


    Seal script - tai''a!


    Tai''a sword, this sword is the tai''a sword used by the first emperor.

 Chapter 80

    Liu Xiu didn''t expect that when he took Deng AI out for a walk, he met Tai a Jian.


    Tai''a Jian was buried with Qin Shihuang after his death.


    After Xiang Yu overthrew the Qin Dynasty and dug up the mausoleum of the first emperor of Qin, countless treasures were unearthed, and the tai''a sword also appeared. But after Xiang Yu''s death, tai''a Jian disappeared, and there was no trace.


    Unexpectedly, it was sealed and hidden.


    Liu Xiu holds tai''a sword, and his eyes are full of thinking. A tai''a sword was not very useful to Liu Xiu. It was nothing more than a sword.


    On the contrary, it brings more danger.


    First of all, tai''a sword is the emperor''s sword. If Liu Xiu wears it on his body, it doesn''t match his identity.


    Secondly, tai''a sword is too ostentatious, which can easily lead to disaster.


    Liu Xiu''s only choice is to hide the tai''a sword. This result will make the sword dust, and can''t give Liu Xiu any help.


    Holding the sword, Liu Xiu returned to his study.


    Liu Xiu sat down, put tai''a Jian on the desk and thought about what to do.


    "In the past, sun CE was able to give up the imperial seal in order to gain a foothold. For the sake of future development, I can also give up tai''a sword. Even if it''s lost now, it can be retrieved later. "


    "When I wave my army northward and defeat Cao Cao, tai''a sword will naturally come back to me."


    "Now, give up for the time being."


    "To give up temporarily is just to maximize the benefits and let me get more resources."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were shining with the essence of Taoism.


    A tai''a sword is of great use value. If we make use of it, Liu Xiu''s reputation can be further improved. In particular, compared with the previous poems, tai''a Jian brought more shock.


    Liu Xiu found a scabbard, put tai''a sword into the scabbard, and then got up to go to pound''s study.


    This matter needs to be discussed with Lord pound.


    When Pang Degong was reading a book in his study and saw Liu Xiu coming, he asked, "Xiuer, what''s the matter?"


    Liu Xiu sat down and said, "there is a big matter to discuss with the teacher."


    "What''s the matter?" he said


    Liu Xiu handed tai''a sword to Mr. pound and said, "the teacher will understand after seeing this sword."


    "Sword?"


    There was a look of doubt in Pound''s eyes.


    When he picked up tai''a''s sword, pound played it lightly.


    "Ding!"


    The sound is clear and crisp, more like a dragon chant.


    Pang Degong was familiar with the sword. When he heard his voice, he realized that tai''a sword was unusual. After looking at the seal script on the sword, he opened his eyes and mouth, and his face was full of surprise.


    "Too, too, too sword!"


    Rao is Lord pound. I can''t help being surprised.


    The appearance of tai''a Jian is really shocking.


    This is not an ordinary sword, but the sword of Qin Shihuang.


    Pang Degong took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Then he looked at Liu Xiu and said curiously, "Xiuer, how did you get tai''a Jian? Before I came here, I knew you didn''t have a sword. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said about the process of getting Tai a Jian.


    Pound Justice: "your boy''s luck, really good." After a pause, Mr. pound said, "I''ve got tai''a sword. Now you come to me with tai''a sword. Do you have any idea?"


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "when I wish the emperor''s birthday, I intend to present tai''a sword."


    "Ah


    When pound heard this, he was surprised again.


    On weekdays, Mr. pound was calm when he met with great events.


    But today, he was shocked by Liu Xiu.


    In the opinion of Lord pound, it''s a waste to give tai''a sword to the little emperor when he gets it.


    Mr. pound said, "Xiu''er, you have to think about how to deal with tai''a Jian. Tai''a sword is not an ordinary sword, but the sword of the first emperor. Although it belongs to the former Emperor, it is the sword of the first emperor, which is quite extraordinary. You celebrate the emperor''s birthday and give it to him. In the end, you may fall into the hands of Cao Cao. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I have already considered this point clearly. The starting point of the disciple''s consideration is that the tai''a sword is left in the hands of the disciple and can only be collected. Once it is announced that the disciple has Tai a Jian in his hand, it will lead to too many conflicts. Instead of this, it''s better to take the opportunity to celebrate the emperor''s birthday and offer it to him. In this way, it''s better for me. "


    Pondering for a while, Mr. pound said, "it''s reasonable for you to consider the problem. After all, your identity is not suitable for taiajian. "


    Liu xiudao: "yes, I think so."


    Pound thought about it and said, "I''ll ask you again. Have you really thought about it?"


    Liu xiudao: "I have already thought it over."


    Pound nodded slightly and said, "in that case, let''s sum up the arrangements for the emperor''s birthday. To celebrate the birthday of the emperor, offering gifts is a key link. At that time, Cao Cao may take advantage of it. So, I think that In this way, separating your gifts from those of the state herdsmen will also maximize your interests and enhance your reputation. "Liu Xiu said with a smile: "the teacher''s arrangement is the most reasonable."


    For Liu Xiu, Pang Degong was really like a teacher and father. Everything was considered by Liu Xiu.


    ¡­¡­


    Sikong mansion.


    Cao Cao called his important advisers together in his study.


    He glanced at Xun Yu, Xun you and others, and said, "the time to celebrate the emperor''s birthday is set at the end of July. But now it seems that it must be changed, because it is almost the end of July. After thinking about it, I decided to set the date for August 3. At that time, all officials will pay tribute to the emperor, and Jingzhou and Jiangdong will pay tribute to the emperor again. "


    Xun Yu said: "all the arrangements for the birthday of the emperor have been made. The LORD set the date for August 3, and then he told pound and Zhang


    "Yes


    Cao Cao nodded slightly.


    Cao Cao asked again, "is there any change between Zhang Dan and Pang Degong?"


    Cheng Yu said, "Zhang Zhen stays in the house when he''s OK. There''s nothing unusual. As for Lord pound, the same is true. Only Liu Xiu went to Fu Wan''s mansion. Then, Liu Xiu goes to morning exercise every morning. "


    Cao Cao laughed and said, "Liu Xiu is a royal family member. It''s really strange if he doesn''t come after Fu Wan. It''s also reasonable. However, with Liu Xiu''s shrewdness, it is impossible to finish their work. At most, Liu Xiu is also a superficial promise. "


    Cheng Yu said: "my Lord is wise!"


    Cao Cao said: "Wenhe, are you ready for the birthday present?"


    Xun Yu nodded and said, "please tell me that the gift is ready. At that time, it will definitely be the gift prepared for the emperor by the envoys of Jingzhou and Jiangdong."


    Cao Cao''s face, this is showing a smile.


    This time to celebrate the emperor''s birthday, Cao Cao intended to suppress Jingzhou and Jiangdong in an all-round way, so as to knock down the mountains and shake the tigers.


    Unexpectedly, Wendou failed and Wudou failed.


    This birthday, the competition is their own financial and material resources. Cao Cao has rich financial resources in the north. He wants to show the momentum of the northern hegemony through this birthday.


    Guo Jia coughed softly and said, "my Lord, I''m worried about my humble position."


    Cao Cao said with a smile, "is fengxiao worried about Liu Xiu?"


    Guo Jia nodded with solemn eyes.


    As soon as Cao Cao brushed his sleeves, he said boldly, "Liu Xiu''s talent is outstanding because of his filial piety, but it''s his own inside information. On martial arts, Liu Xiu''s hard work is also his own contribution. Both of them are based on Liu Xiu''s own abilities. Birthday is different. The more valuable the gift is, the more financial it will take. Without huge financial resources, it is difficult to find valuable gifts. "


    Guo Jia said: "some gifts are very simple, but they have incomparable significance. The most worrying thing about his humble position is that Liu Xiu doesn''t act according to common sense. "


    Cao Cao said: "well, even if Liu Xiu doesn''t follow the common sense, it doesn''t matter. He can win, that is his ability, also can prove my vision. The better Liu Xiu is, the happier he is. The purpose of this birthday is to show his strength, even if Liu Xiu is in the limelight. In the end, Jingzhou was unable to resist his own army. "


    Guo Jia nodded and stopped talking.


    After hearing the words, all the people stopped talking about Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 81

    August 1, early in the morning.


    When Liu Xiugang came back with Deng AI''s morning exercise, he received the news from Sikong mansion.


    Si Kong and Cao Cao will celebrate the emperor''s birthday on August 3.


    Pang Degong and Liu Xiu have been in Xuxian for some time, and now they finally get the exact time for Cao Cao to celebrate the emperor''s birthday. It means that pound and his party are about to embark on their return journey.


    After celebrating the emperor''s birthday, I will say goodbye to Cao Cao.


    Liu Xiu had no memory of leaving Xu county.


    What Liu Xiu is worried about is the arrangement of Wen pin.


    There are still a few days left. Liu Xiu hopes that wenpin can be arranged as soon as possible.


    Liu Xiu stayed in his yard, holding a list of Cao Cao''s officials and generals. These people are written by Liu Xiu according to his memory. For some of them, Liu Xiu had some ideas. If he could dig a few corners from Cao Cao''s command, it would be the most perfect result.


    "Dong! Dong


    There was a knock on the door.


    Deng AI look anxious, hastily way: "childe, bad, six people outside the house, aggressively want to find you."


    Liu Xiu got up and opened the door, but he didn''t look worried. He asked, "who''s coming?"


    Deng AI replied, "I don''t know. They call you by name."


    Liu xiudao: "follow me out to have a look."


    Deng AI worried: "young master, there are six of them, and they are aggressive. I''m afraid they are not good at it. This morning, general wenpin went out again. I''m afraid you''ll see them alone... "


    Liu Xiu big sleeve a brush, way: "Xiao AI, this is Xu county, no one can take me how, let''s go."


    Deng AI was worried, but Liu Xiu was ahead, so he could only follow.


    They went straight to the gate. Liu Xiugang came to the gate, but he saw that pound also came.


    "Don''t be impulsive, Xiuer," said pound


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "don''t worry, teacher. I understand."


    As a member of the Jingzhou mission, especially Liu Xiu''s previous performance in Sikong mansion and school, Liu Xiu has already entered the sight of Xu county dignitaries.


    Besides, this is Xu county.


    If Liu Xiu''s safety is threatened, Cao Cao''s face is even worse.


    Therefore, Liu Xiugen was not worried about his own safety.


    Liu Xiu came to the door, looked at the soldiers who were standing in the door and said, "open the door."


    "No!"


    The soldier was ordered to open the door.


    Creak!


    The gate opened, and six young people stood at the gate, staring at Liu Xiu.


    These six people are either thin or burly Six people look at Liu Xiu''s eyes, all coincidentally reveal a strong hostility.


    The moment the door opened, six people poured directly into the mansion.


    "Liu Xiu, if you know the prime minister, hand over Qingchen sword immediately, otherwise, you don''t want to leave Xu county alive."


    "Hand over Qingchen sword immediately, and you don''t want to see whose it is? How can a man like you have a green sword? "


    "Qingchen sword is Sikong''s favorite. Hand it in right away."


    Six people began to ask Liu Xiu to hand over Qingchen sword.


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he understood.


    These six youths are coming for Qingchen sword. It seems that the younger generation are not willing to.


    Qingchen sword was won by Liu Xiu. Cao Cao, Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan and others could not or would not ask for it. But the younger generation are not reconciled.


    Liu Xiu showed disdain on his face. He pointed to the green sword he was wearing around his waist and said, "what can you do if I don''t hand over the green sword? Qingchen sword is here. What can you do for me? "


    With these words, Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on one of them.


    It''s not someone else, it''s Timon.


    Liu looked sarcastic and said: "dianman, I lost in the school that day. Why, I don''t feel ashamed enough? Now a group of people are gathered to commit crimes. Do you think they can scare me? I''m not scared. "


    Liu Xiu''s attitude made Dian man and others angry.


    These people are very aggressive. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu is more arrogant and angry.


    "Liu Xiu, your grandfather, I''m Xu Yi, Xu Chu''s son. If you have the guts, you can fight me alone. You win me, I don''t pursue the matter of Qingchen sword. If you lose, hand over Qingchen sword


    Xu Yi was a big man with fierce eyes.


    Liu Xiu glanced at Xu Yi and said faintly, "Xu Yi is very good. He is the son of a tiger general. It''s a pity, tiger father and dog son. "


    As soon as Xu Yi heard this, she glared angrily, even more murderous.


    But Liu Xiu ignored Xu Yi, looked around at the others and said, "six people, report their names one by one."


    "I''m xiahoushang, and XiaHouYuan is my uncle. You hand over Qingchen sword, I can not pursue this matter. " Xia Hou is still in his early twenties. His face is thin and his eyes are cold.Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed. Xia Hou was still a man of great ability.


    When Cao Cao was alive, Xia HOUSHANG served as army commander and yellow gate servant. Later, he went to Wuhuan with Cao Zhang and came back victoriously.


    After Cao Pi ascended the throne, Xia HOUSHANG was appointed as the general of the expedition to the south, leading the governor of Jingzhou, and supervising the military affairs of the south.


    When he was in charge of the south, Xia Hou Shang led his army to attack Shangyong of Shu state, pacified three counties and nine counties, and was promoted to a general in the south. Later, he defeated Wu general zhugejin in Jiangling and became a herdsman in Jingzhou.


    In the later period of the Three Kingdoms, Xia Hou Shang was also a general.


    Liu Xiu knew xiahoushang in his last life, but he didn''t expect to see the young xiahoushang now.


    Now xiahoushang is a little boy, not as calm and capable as later generations.


    "My name is Xia houen. I carry the green sword on my back. Sikong has two swords, one Yitian sword and one Qingchen sword. I''m the one who carries the sword for him. "


    Xia Hou en was quite handsome. His sword eyebrows were bright and his voice was sharp.


    "My name is Cao Zhen. I''m younger Sikong. Liu Xiu, you are a common son. You dare to accept Qingchen sword. You are impatient. Hand over Qingchen sword immediately, otherwise, you can''t leave Xu county alive. "


    Cao Cao adopted Cao Zhen when his father died early. He grew up with Cao Pi and others.


    In other words, Cao Cao is Cao Zhen''s father.


    Cao Cao''s sword, Qingchen sword, was taken away, Cao Zhen''s heart, is also furious.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were fixed on Cao Zhen, and there was a trace of irony in his eyes.


    Cao Zhen is quite capable, but his sons are all straw bags, especially his eldest son, Cao Shuang, is one of the main people who led to the defeat of Cao Wei. After Cao Fang, the third generation emperor of the Wei Dynasty, ascended to the throne, Cao Shuang was added as a servant, served as a general, and was renamed Marquis Wu''an.


    However, Cao Shuang appointed a private person and monopolized the government.


    In 249 ad, Sima Yi launched the Gaoping mausoleum revolution to kill Cao Shuang, and then Cao Shuang was killed.


    Liu Xiu witnessed the killing of Cao Shuang and knew the outcome of Cao Zhen''s descendants.


    Cao Zhen is still a young man.


    "My name is Zhu Zan and I''m good friends with Cao Zhen."


    Zhu Zan is a burly, fat man who stands out in the crowd.


    After listening to the introduction, Liu Xiu said, "Dian man, Xu Yi, Xia Hou Shang, Xia Hou en, Cao Zhen, Zhu Zan, you six want to get back Qingchen sword, right?"


    Cao Zhen waved his hand and said, "it''s not to get it back, it''s to let you return it."


    Liu xiudao said, "one by one, I''ll show off my power. If I don''t hand over the Qingchen sword, what will you do?"


    Xu Yi added: "Liu Xiu, it''s said that you are outstanding in martial arts. If you have courage, I''ll fight you. You win. I won''t interfere in the affairs of Qingchen sword. "


    Just now, Xu Yi challenged him, but Liu Xiu ignored him.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed slightly and said with a smile: "you win, I''ll hand over Qingchen sword. But you lost? "


    Xu Yi said in a loud voice: "I can''t lose to you!"


    Liu xiudao: "what if you lose?"


    Xu Yi snorted: "I lost to you, whatever you say. Anyway, I won''t lose to you. "


    Liu Xiu said, "Xiao AI, go and get the paper and pen."


    "No!"


    Deng AI turned and ran to the house.


    Pang Degong looked at Liu Xiu and saw Liu Xiu deal with it. He simply left. When he stayed here, he made it difficult for Liu Xiu to get involved in the matter.


    Shortly afterwards, Deng AI came to the door.


    Liu Xiu took the pen and ink, wrote down the notes on the paper, threw them into Xu Yi''s hand, and said, "if you lose, you must let me tie you up and hang you at the door. If you agree, sign and draw. If you don''t agree, you can break up. "


    After hearing this, Xu Yi hesitated.

 Chapter 82

    Dian man clenched his fist and said, "Xu Yi, if you don''t want to, just step aside. Liu Xiu and I will fight each other. Damn, it''s just a good archer. It''s not worth mentioning. "


    As soon as Xu Yi heard this, she suddenly blew up her hair and roared, "I''ll sign my name."


    Immediately, Xu Yi pressed the finger print on the paper.


    Liu Xiu waved, and Deng AI stepped down with the paper he had signed.


    Xu Yi picked up her long sleeves and hooked up with Liu Xiu, saying: "boy, grandfather Xu asked you to do it first. Come on."


    Liu Xiu said: "although Xu Yi has signed and drawn a pledge, there is no martial arts contest after all. You''re out now. There''s still time. Once you really fight, especially when you are defeated by me, there will be no chance to go back. You have to think it over


    Xu Yi''s eyes were angry and said, "don''t think about it!"


    At the thought of Liu Xiu''s tiger father and dog son, he would like to tear Liu Xiu and vent his anger.


    Liu xiudao: "the door is too narrow, come in."


    Liu Xiu retreated into the courtyard. This is the front hall of the house. The terrain is open and open. Liu Xiu, Xu Yi, Dian man and others are standing inside, and they will not be affected.


    "Please


    Liu Xiu''s big sleeve is swept, one hand is carried behind his back, the other hand is put forward, and his posture is very handsome.


    Deng AI stood far behind, clenched his fist, and encouraged Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiuyi and Liu Zhanyi look forward to fighting. After Deng Zhan surrendered to Liu Xiu, he also knew that Liu Xiu knew martial arts, but he didn''t know Liu Xiu''s martial arts. Naturally, he was curious.


    Xu Yi waved his hand and said, "get out of the way, don''t affect me."


    Dianman, caozhen and others stepped back and stood aside to watch the battle.


    Dian man clenched his fist and roared: "Xu Yi, do your best, don''t keep your hand. This time, let Liu Xiu know. As long as you don''t kill people, it''s easy to say. "


    Xu Yi white code full of one eye, said: "how to fight, I know, do not need you to teach."


    "Kill


    Xu Yi roars, and suddenly pours out.


    This fight is a typical tiger downhill style, ferocious and domineering.


    Xu Yi''s martial arts is a family study. Xu Chu was called a tiger maniac by Cao Cao. Xu Yi followed Xu Chu to learn martial arts. He was skilled in martial arts.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu stood still.


    Static braking is Liu Xiu''s good move. In particular, Liu Xiu''s boxing came from the Baji boxing of later generations. When the two sides met, Liu Xiu was fierce and overbearing.


    Xu Yi was very happy to see that Liu Xiu didn''t move.


    "Huyue mountain forest, kill!"


    Xu Yi roared, her body shape changed again on the way, and her murderous spirit was even stronger.


    It''s hard to crack with one blow.


    Liu Xiu took a step forward, avoided Xu Yi''s killing move, palmed his right hand, and then shot up abruptly. With a slap, the palm of his hand hit Xu Yi''s fist, making Xu Yi''s arm rise, and the center of gravity lost.


    Liu Xiu''s left hand, then from top to bottom, suddenly grasped Xu Yi''s arm, and then directly stepped back.


    Xu Yi''s face changed greatly. Knowing that the center of gravity was unstable, she quickly stabilized the footwall.


    "Step by step, step by step."


    Liu Xiu grabs Xu Yi''s arm with both hands and drags it. In an instant, Xu Yi''s stable footwall loses control again. That burly body, involuntarily is taken forward by Liu Xiu.


    At the moment of Xu Yi''s leaning forward, Liu Xiu suddenly stops again and bumps his right shoulder out.


    Bang!


    Shoulder, instant hit Xu Yi''s chest.


    Powerful force, violent outbreak.


    Xu Yi''s massive body, like a shell, flew out directly.


    Boom!


    Xu Yi fell to the ground, chest pain unceasingly, feel the bone head is like split, pain to the marrow. When he fell to the ground, he could not lift his strength and stand up.


    One move!


    Just one move, Xu Yi was defeated.


    From the fight to Xu Yi''s falling to the ground, it was just a blink of an eye. The speed was too fast.


    Liu Xiu raised his mouth and asked, "Xu Yi, do you want to fight again?"


    Xu Yi is lying on the ground, hard, steel teeth clenched, eyes angry. But as soon as he made an effort, his body was in pain, and he couldn''t lift half of his strength, so it was difficult for him to stand up.


    Liu Xiu''s strike was so powerful that Xu Yi suffered a heavy blow.


    Liu Xiu, with a bright smile on his face, waved: "since he has lost, he has to admit defeat. Deng Zhan, with people, tied Xu Yi to a stake and hung it at the gate. "


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan grinned and went forward with the soldiers.


    After Dian man and others saw it, they quickly stopped Deng Zhan.


    With both hands on his back, Liu Xiu sneered: "is it because he didn''t admit defeat? It seems that there''s no need to compete any more. Deng Zhan, let them take Xu Yi away. "


    "Go away!"


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and showed his disdain.Dian man, Cao Zhen and others heard the speech, and finally slowly let Deng Zhan take Xu Yi away. At this time, Dian man, Cao Zhen and others were already angry.


    Zhu Zan was a big man. Seeing that Xu Yi was arrested, he immediately stood up and said, "Liu Xiu, I''ll fight you."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "don''t worry, hang up the people first, and then sign the seal."


    Soon, Xu Yi was hanging in the air.


    Liu Xiu asked Deng AI to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a new copy of the script, asking Zhu Zan to sign the monograph. Then, Liu xiudao said, "Zhu Zan, right? Your martial arts can''t even compare with Xu Yi. Since you want to die, I can only help you."


    Zhu Zan said in a low voice, "it''s not known who will win."


    Then he approached Liu Xiu step by step.


    Xu Yi rushed directly to Liu Xiu. When he sprinted, it was difficult for him to hold his body in a short time, so that Liu Xiu succeeded. Zhu Zan is now slowing down and trying to be steady.


    There was a flash of light in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    "Kill


    Liu Xiu roared and rushed out immediately.


    "Pa! Bang


    Liu Xiu stepped on the ground like a giant elephant, shaking the ground.


    This situation makes Dian man, Cao Zhen, Xia Hou Shang and others slightly change color.


    Liu Xiu is thin and thin. From this point of view, there is a huge power hidden in his thin body. Even Deng Zhan, standing behind him, was surprised. Deng Zhan thought that Liu Xiu was a skilled warrior, but he didn''t expect that Liu Xiu''s power was terrible.


    In a flash, they met.


    In a flash, Liu Xiu''s right hand clenched his fist and shot out rapidly.


    Zhu Zan put his hands in front of him and waved to resist.


    "Bang!"


    The fist and arm collided, Zhu Zan stepped back one after another, and his body was unstable.


    His face was full of horror.


    It''s terrible!


    The power of Liu Xiu''s outburst is irresistible.


    Liu Xiu''s face was cold and solemn. He was powerful and pursued quickly. After two steps, he came to Zhu Zan''s body, bent his right hand, put his right fist in the palm of his left hand, raised his right elbow and shot it out.


    "Pa!"


    Elbow, hit juzan.


    "Ah


    Zhu Zan screamed, and his huge body flew out immediately.


    Boom!


    When he fell to the ground, Zhu Zan coughed and blood flowed from his mouth. The look on his face was ferocious because of the pain of his whole body.


    After Liu Xiu stood still, a touch of disdain appeared on his face and said, "Zhu Zan, can we fight again?"


    Compared with Xu Yi, Zhu Zan''s martial arts are worse.


    For such a person, Liu Xiu took the initiative to attack with thunder and lightning, and defeated Zhu Zan at one stroke.


    Zhu Zan was lying on the ground coughing up blood. He was burning all over the place. Liu Xiu''s blow had already hurt his internal organs. He lay on the ground and had no power to stand up. He could not fight any more.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Zhu Zan has also been defeated. Deng Zhan, go and accept people."


    "Good!"


    With a smile, Deng Zhan and his soldiers came forward, tied Zhu Zan to a stake, and then stood at the gate.


    At this time, at the door of the house, Xu Yi and Zhu agreed with each other. When the two brothers looked at each other, there was a look of helplessness on their painful cheeks.


    Liu Xiu looked at Dian man and others, hooked his hand and said, "now, who will come?"


    Simple words, but with awe inspiring courage.


    Dianman, caozhen, xiahouen and xiahoushang were all afraid.

 Chapter 83

    Seeing the look of Dian man and others, Liu Xiu suddenly laughed and said, "why, are you afraid now? Now that you are afraid, please go back and don''t be shameful here. A group of little kids, I don''t know the heaven and the earth. "


    Liu Xiu has forgotten that his age is the youngest.


    Liu Xiu doesn''t like dianman and others, especially these people will be his enemies in the future.


    So Liu Xiu started without mercy.


    "I''ll do it!"


    All of a sudden, shahhoun stepped forward.


    Xia houen was a man who specialized in carrying swords for Cao Cao and was proficient in swordsmanship. In terms of fists and feet, Xia houen was far inferior to Xu Yi and Zhu Zan. So when he came up, Xia houen said directly, "I''m not good at fists and feet. I attack with a sword. So, you are allowed to fight back with your sword. "


    With these words, shahhoun took off his sword and held it in his hand.


    Liu Xiu waved and said, "wait a minute!"


    Xia Hou en''s mouth was filled with pride and said, "why, are you afraid?"


    In the view of Xia hou''en, Liu Xiu is good at fists and feet, and can''t match him in fencing. At the moment, shahhoun is even more excited about his ideas.


    This proposal is really wonderful.


    Xia HOUSHANG, Cao Zhen and Dian man see Liu Xiu refuse, also think Liu Xiu sword skill is not good.


    Xia Hou Shang said: "Liu Xiu, hurry to get ink, paper and inkstone."


    Cao Zhen said: "what''s the name of Deng AI? Hurry up. Is it because you LIU Xiu want to play tricks?"


    Dian man laughed and said, "Liu Xiu, you can''t go back on it. Sign the pledge immediately, otherwise, the four of us will not challenge one by one, but together. You''ll be the one who''ll be in trouble. "


    Liu Xiu listened to a few people''s words, his heart is even more funny.


    These four people don''t know what to do.


    In terms of swordsmanship, Liu Xiu has never been afraid of anyone.


    With a smile in his eyes, Liu Xiu said, "I just want to remind you. My swordsmanship is very good. If you quit now, you can avoid being hung up. Once you sign the pledge, you can''t deny it. "


    Xia Hou en, with high morale, waved: "no, sign now."


    Liu Xiu smell speech, a wave of hand, Deng AI quickly came up, set pen and ink paper inkstone. After Liu Xiu wrote the note, he asked Xia houen to press his thumb on it.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "the swords are merciless. They all retreat."


    Deng Zhan, Deng AI and others, have to get out of the way.


    The sword in Xia hou''en''s hand came out of its sheath slowly, then it crossed his chest and said in a deep voice, "Liu Xiu, I''ll remind you again. Hand over Qingchen sword. That''s it. Once the swords fight, the swords have no eyes and hurt you, don''t blame me. "


    Liu Xiu took down the green sword he was wearing around his waist and said, "the green sword is in my hands. If you have the ability, just come and take it. As for your three legged Kung Fu, I don''t care about it. "


    Holding the scabbard, the green sword in Liu Xiu''s hand didn''t come out of the scabbard.


    "Please


    Liu Xiu''s horizontal sword was on his chest, very casual.


    Seeing this, Xia hou''en knew that Liu Xiu didn''t pay attention to him. He was even more furious and roared: "a sword out of Pinghu, kill him."


    Kick! Kick!


    Xia houen sprinted, less than a Zhang away from Liu Xiu, and his long sword was suddenly cut.


    The light of the sword twinkled, and it was very sharp.


    The green sword in Liu Xiu''s hand was lifted from the bottom up and waved at will.


    "Dang!"


    The sword struck the scabbard of Qingchen sword and made a harsh sound.


    Liu Xiu bullied himself and pushed forward with his green sword in his hand. With a slap, the scabbard hit shahhoun.


    "Kick! Kick


    Xiahou en even stepped back two steps, and felt more pain in his chest.


    Timon reminded: "don''t get close to xiahou''en. If his sword doesn''t come out of its sheath, he must not know how to use it. Your constant attack is not to be seized by him


    Cao Zhen''s eyes were full of excitement.


    Here''s the chance!


    Cao Zhen also thinks that Liu Xiu is not good at swordsmanship. As long as Xia Hou en''s swordsmanship is a little more fierce, he will surely win Liu Xiu.


    Xia Hou en took a deep breath, and then roared: "sword Dangshan river!"


    The sword in his hand vibrated rapidly in the air, forming sword flowers. The gorgeous sword light dazzles people''s eyes. In the light of the sword, the sharp edge of the sword quickly approached Liu Xiu.


    "Ding!"


    Liu Xiuqing''s sword was across his chest to resist. The tip of the long sword just hit the scabbard.


    "You are so weak that you can''t even swing a person, let alone swing mountains and rivers? In my opinion, it''s just flying with the sword. "


    Liu Xiu sneered, green sword in the air, dribbling around.


    The scabbard aims at Xia houen and suddenly protrudes forward.


    "Pa!"


    A sword, stabbed the left shoulder of the summer Hou en.


    Shahoun snorted and stepped back two steps in a row. After standing still, Xia houen felt numb on his left shoulder, as if his whole body''s Qi and blood were attacked, but he couldn''t flow."Liu Xiu, don''t pretend to be a ghost and kill me."


    Xia Hou en had strong self transport ability. The sword of his right hand danced, and the light of the sword danced.


    "Well, I won''t play with you."


    As soon as Liu Xiu stepped on it, he held the handle of Qingchen sword in his right hand and rushed up to meet the light of Xia houen''s sword.


    Seeing this, xiahouen was very happy.


    His move is the most powerful one. Liu Xiu rushes up, absolutely is oneself seeks death. Xiahou en did his best to form a dense light curtain with the flashing light of his sword. His sharp spirit was incomparable.


    Liu Xiu''s speed was very fast. When he got close to xiahou''en, he turned the scabbard and pointed it at xiahou''en.


    "Ding!"


    Shane, the scabbard hits the sword.


    With a crisp sound, the sword light of xiahou''en disappeared.


    Xia Hou en''s eyes widened. In his eyes, he saw a scabbard smashed down.


    "Pa!"


    The scabbard fell on the wrist of xiahou''en''s right hand. In an instant, xiahou''en felt that his right hand was numb and weak, and his sword fell to the ground with a crash.


    People have no blood on their faces.


    Xia Hou en couldn''t understand why Liu Xiu saw through the flaw of the last sword.


    His flaws have been hidden.


    Why can Liu Xiu see through it?


    Xia hou''en endured the pain of his wrist and asked, "Liu Xiu, why can you see through it? Are you hoodwinked? Are you hoodwinked? Right


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s just a third rate sword technique. What''s so powerful. I can see through your swordsmanship as soon as you make a move. I''ve told you that my swordsmanship is very good. You''ll give up when you''re in trouble. You''re going to die yourself. "


    Shaking his head, Liu Xiu waved and Deng Zhan rushed up.


    Soon, shahhoun was hanging in the air, but shahhoun was hit hard, especially depressed.


    Liu Xiu put away his sword and said with a smile, "Dian man, Cao Zhen, Xia Hou Shang, now Xu Yi, Zhu Zan and Xia Hou en are all hung up. You have seen their results. Do you want to continue? "


    Cao Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "we have to continue. If you have the ability, you can hang us up. At that time, we''ll see how you can settle this matter."


    At this time, Cao Zhen has been completely angry.


    Even Cao Zhen thinks that once things get big, Liu Xiu is bound to suffer. Just imagine that all the people present are members of the Cao clan. Moreover, the background behind them is quite tough.


    If Liu Xiu offended them, he would not be able to do anything.


    This is Cao Zhen''s confidence.


    Liu Xiu still shook his head and said: "a group of ignorant boys, what a pity. Cao Zhen, you must be ready for that. Xiao AI, take pen, ink, paper and inkstone. "


    Deng AI came up with a smile and asked Liu Xiu to write a note.


    After Liu Xiu finished writing, he handed the note to Cao Zhen and said, "since you are dead to the end, then sign the monograph. Hurry up, dianman and Xiahou are still in line. "


    Cao Zhen took a deep breath and pressed his thumb on the note.


    Liu Xiu waved Deng AI back, looked at Cao Zhen, and asked, "Cao Zhen, Xia hou''en uses a sword, Xu Yi and Zhu Zan are unarmed. How are you going to fight?"


    Cao Zhen said in a deep voice: "compare swords!"


    When Liu Xiu compared with Xia Hou, Cao Zhen found that although Liu Xiu held the sword in his hand, it was more like boxing. There is almost no display of swordsmanship, so Cao Zhen thinks that Liu Xiu''s swordsmanship is not very good.

 Chapter 84

    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "it seems that my swordsmanship is not good enough. You choose to use the sword."


    Cao Zhen said, "your swordsmanship is really average."


    Liu Xiu shakes his head, showing a trace of compassion in his eyes. His swordsmanship is the strongest, but some people think that his swordsmanship is the weakest.


    Cao Zhen''s eyesight is really bad.


    Liu Xiu held the handle of Qingchen sword in his right hand. With a clang sound, the sword came out of its sheath. As Cao Cao''s sabre, Qingchen sword is incomparable in sharpness. Under the sunshine, its sharp light is more chilling.


    A sword in hand, Liu Xiu took a sword formula, waved his hand and said: "please!"


    Cao Zhen''s sword came out of its sheath and said, "kill me!"


    Holding the long sword, Cao Zhen stepped forward to kill Liu Xiu. He was even more murderous in his heart and wanted to take this opportunity to kill Liu Xiu.


    After killing Liu Xiu, he takes back Qingchen sword.


    Although Liu Xiu was famous in Xu county and the son of Liu Biao, a herdsman in Jingzhou, all the people were killed. Cao Zhen was punished at most and could not be killed. In particular, it is different to take back Qingchen sword.


    Liu Xiu held the sword in his hand, and the blade was slightly deviated.


    After the sun came down, the light just fell on the sword. The reflected light was dazzling and was facing Cao Zhen.


    At that moment, Cao Zhen''s steps were in disorder.


    Liu Xiu took a step forward and swung his green sword in the air.


    "Chaka!"


    The light of the sword crossed Cao Zhen''s long sword, which broke in response to the sound.


    After Cao Zhen recovered, the blade of Qingchen sword had stopped three inches in front of Cao Zhen''s throat. Cao Zhen''s heart was cold because of the sharp edge of the sword.


    "Mean, shameless!"


    Cao Zhen scolded, his eyes showed infinite regret.


    In Cao Zhen''s view, Liu Xiu was totally deceitful. He won in such a way that he could not win.


    In his eyes, Deng Zhan''s eyes narrowed slightly with surprise and admiration.


    As a master of swordsmanship, Deng Zhan is very sensitive to swordsmanship. Liu Xiugang''s sword seems simple, but it considers many factors. A person who doesn''t know the sword can''t use the sword light to disturb the rhythm of the enemy.


    Judging from this, Liu Xiu''s swordsmanship is not simple.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "caozhen, caozhen, why don''t you call caozhen? It''s naive and stupid. On the battlefield, will the enemy give you a good chance? As long as we can kill the enemy, does it matter what means? I can borrow the sunshine. That''s what I do


    Cao Zhen hummed, his face full of unconvinced look, roared: "you are despicable, I do not accept."


    Liu Xiu said in a cold voice: "if you don''t accept it, does it have anything to do with me? The point is, you lose. "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said again: "when you just made a move, you had already killed yourself. In your heart, you must want to kill me first, and then take Qingchen sword. According to this statement, did I kill you first? "


    Cao Zhen''s eyes were wide open. He was surprised that Liu Xiu had penetrated his idea.


    "You dare not kill me!"


    Cao Zhen roared and looked confident.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "yes, I really dare not kill you. Who let you be Cao Cao''s man? But, if I stab you twice with my sword and leave a little wound, will it affect you? After all, it''s you who challenge. "


    The corners of Cao Zhen''s mouth twitched, and a touch of panic appeared on his face. He was not afraid of death because he was determined that Liu Xiu did not dare to kill him, but Liu Xiu seriously injured him with his sword, which was another matter.


    Liu Xiu chuckled, shook his head and said, "well, it seems that you cao Zhen are also greedy of life and afraid of death, not really fearless of death."


    "Fall down!"


    Liu Xiu kicked it out and slapped it on Cao Zhen''s chest.


    Surging power, rushing out.


    Cao Zhen screamed and flew out. After landing, Cao Zhen covered his chest and coughed. Without waiting for Cao Zhen to stand up, Deng Zhan rushed up with his soldiers, tied Cao Zhen up and hung him in the air.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Dian man and Xia Hou Shang and asked, "you two, are you going to leave by yourself or continue to challenge?"


    "Fight


    Dianman step out, sharp eyes, murderous.


    Compared with Xu Yi, Cao Zhen and others, Dian man''s burly body stood up, and in an instant, his valiant momentum showed itself.


    Xu Yi, Cao Zhen and others have never experienced the scene of fighting.


    Dian man is different. After Dian Wei died, he followed Cao Cao and fought with him. He went to the battlefield and killed people. He knew the cruelty of the battlefield.


    "Take my halberd!"


    Dian man waved. Outside the gate, a soldier came in with an iron halberd.


    Dianman uses two halberds, one on the left and one on the right.


    In the past, Dianwei used two iron halberds, and the weapons used by dianman were the weapons used by Dianwei. These two iron halberds are black, and the tip of the halberd shows a touch of purplish red. You can see that they are murder weapons.Dian man''s two halberds crossed his chest and said coldly, "Liu Xiu, after defeating Xu Yi, do you think you are invincible? You are just good at martial arts, but you have never been to the battlefield. You don''t know how cruel the real battlefield fighting is. "


    Liu Xiu showed a smile in his eyes.


    When his age adds up, he can be pawnway''s grandfather.


    Unexpectedly, it was Timon who taught him a lesson. This Timon is really OK.


    Dian man continued: "if I do it, it''s a way to kill. Once I do it, there''s no turning back. Now, you hand over Qingchen sword and release all the people. This is the end of the matter. Otherwise, even if you don''t die today, you will be seriously injured. "


    Liu Xiu''s face was also serious, and he said in a deep voice: "dianman, you are very confident, which is praiseworthy. Only your self-confidence is blind self-confidence, but also self-confidence. Do you know me? Do you know my real swordsmanship? But I know you. I''m just a rude man. "


    Dian man said angrily, "if you want to die, you can''t blame me."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "I cherish my life and will not easily seek death."


    On the stake, Xu Yi looked at Dian man with hate in her eyes and roared: "Dian sunspot, your uncle''s, hurry up and avenge me. Damn it, I''m not comfortable on the stake. "


    Xia Hou en roared: "Dian Wei, don''t be lenient."


    Cao Peiqing cried out: "it''s really comfortable for you to lose. Now, if you don''t win back, you''re incompetent. "


    Zhu Zan''s face was pale, he was hanging in the air, and his heart was cold. Somehow, Zhu Zan had a premonition that dianman might lose.


    From the beginning to now, Liu Xiu has won easily, and it seems that he has never been serious.


    No one knows how powerful Liu Xiu is.


    Standing behind Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan looks forward to the confrontation between Liu Xiu and dianman. Just now, he had judged that Liu Xiu''s swordsmanship was superb, but Deng Zhan couldn''t judge which level he reached.


    Dian man''s martial arts are good. He is better than Xu Yi and Cao Zhen. He can further test Liu Xiu''s swordsmanship.


    Dian man said in a deep voice, "Liu Xiu, I''ll ask you again if you want to hand over Qingchen sword."


    Liu Xiu laughed and pulled out his sword. Holding the sword in his hand, Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "since you want the sword so much, you can take it yourself. My swordsmanship is the sword of killing people. Even if you don''t die, you will be seriously injured. "


    Hum!


    Green Chen sword in the air a turn, issued a trembling sound.


    Liu Xiu''s temperament also changed.


    Before that, Liu Xiu felt ordinary. Now he stands with a sword, but he exudes boundless murderous spirit. This kind of murderous spirit is close to and even suppresses the intention of dianman.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "dianman, today, let you see the real swordsmanship."


    "Whew!"


    Qingchen sword flashed in the air, turned into a streamer and ran to dianman.


    A sword is as fast as lightning.


    Dian man was startled and stepped back to avoid the lightning fast sword move. After Liu Xiu''s sword move failed, Dian man roared and waved his right and left halberds back and forth to meet Qing Chen''s sword.

 Chapter 85

    "Dang! Dang


    The iron halberd struck the sword, and the sound was continuous.


    Liu Xiu and Dian man fight fast. They both fight fast like lightning.


    Dian man''s burly body was extremely flexible. The iron halberd in his hand danced quickly, leaving shadows in the air.


    The light of Liu Xiu''s sword is twinkling, and it is murderous in its splendor.


    Two people fight for a moment, to move already no less than ten moves.


    "Hoo! Hoo


    After standing still, Dian man gasped, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes. He had already judged that Liu Xiu''s martial arts skills were no less than or even better than him.


    Dianman attacks with all his strength, and Liu Xiu defends without any leakage, which makes dianman''s attack all fail.


    This kind of martial arts, Dian man was shocked.


    Archery, better than him.


    Martial arts, more likely than him.


    I''m younger than him.


    Such a person makes Dian man''s heart full of jealousy.


    Liu Xiu''s face was not red and he was out of breath. With a smile in his eyes, he said faintly, "dianman, if you only have this ability, I''m afraid you really need to leave a few sword wounds on your body."


    Liu Xiu said that he was evaluating the martial arts of Dian man.


    Dian man took a deep breath, calmed the blood in his chest, clenched the iron halberd with both hands, and said in a deep voice, "it''s just the beginning. I don''t know who will win."


    Liu xiujianfeng turned around and said, "well, I''m looking forward to your performance. Please


    Dian man snorted and said, "you don''t know a lot."


    "Kill


    Dian man roared, waved his iron halberd and rushed to Liu Xiu again.


    "Double halberds


    The double halberds in dianman''s hands form a cross. In the case of the rapid sprint of dianman, the two iron halberds suddenly separated, and the two sharp lights crossed the air.


    The iron halberd was cut down one by one, one by one.


    The green sword in Liu Xiu''s hand danced in the air, and the blade turned to form a blue light.


    "One sword, two kills!"


    Liu Xiu roared, and the green sword went up against the iron halberd.


    Two sharp sword lights, sharp without match.


    "Chaka! Click


    There were two crisp sounds, one after the other.


    "Bang Dang! Bang


    Then, the sound of iron falling to the ground.


    Liu Xiu''s sword light staggered. After a move, he immediately staggered with Dian man. After standing still, he looked at Dian man and said, "the first move is to cut off the crescent of your two iron halberds. The next move is to hit the sword on you. The next move is to be careful."


    There was consternation and fear in his eyes.


    At the moment when they met, Liu Xiu not only broke his killing move, but also cut the crescent of the iron halberd, which shows his skill.


    At this time, the iron halberd in dianman''s hand seemed to be a short gun.


    Dian man''s eyes showed a worried look, but he still didn''t admit defeat and said: "Liu Xiu, you can only cut the crescent of the iron halberd with the sharpness of the green sword. Next move, I will kill you."


    Liu Xiu said: "the advantage of words is meaningless."


    Dianman holds the iron halberd in both hands and stomps at his feet. The whole person rushes to Liu Xiu like an arrow away from the string.


    Burly body, burst out the unparalleled power.


    "Jisha, I''m invincible."


    Two iron halberds, like short guns, swung up in the air and smashed at Liu Xiu.


    This move makes out, Dian man''s chest, showing to see the neutral, it can be said that the open door is wide open. However, this move was extremely strong. The two iron halberds swung from it opened and closed in a big way. It was a killing move to fight with one''s life.


    This move is more like fighting on the battlefield.


    Fight for your life with your life, fight for whose move is more ruthless, fight for whose move can kill the other party first.


    Dian man didn''t plan to fight like this at first, but he couldn''t suppress Liu Xiu. In such circumstances, struggling to get hurt, Timon also has to win.


    Only win, not lose!


    Dianman''s eyes are full of anger, which is already murderous.


    The pupil in Liu Xiu''s eyes shrank, and he saw the move of Dian man.


    When Dian man came to kill him, Liu Xiu didn''t hide from him, and he went up with his green sword. Liu Xiu is very particular about his pace. He is always changing his route by stepping on the nine palaces and eight trigrams. He is not rushing forward rashly.


    "One sword, matchless!"


    Suddenly, the light burst out in the sky.


    This sword is faster and more powerful.


    "Dang! Dang


    The weapons collided, and the two men fought each other continuously before they separated.


    The look on Liu Xiu''s face was a little pale, and his breath became short. On the edge of Qingchen''s sword, however, there was a trace of blood.


    As soon as the sword shakes, the blood drops fly out.


    Dian man holds the iron halberd in both hands and is stabbed on his left shoulder.Blood gurgled out and dyed his left shoulder red.


    The pain of his left shoulder made his face more ferocious, and his face even more terrible. The ferocity in the bones was completely aroused, and the ferocious face seemed to be a killing God.


    At this time, the sky was dark clouds gathering.


    "Boom!"


    A flash of lightning, across the air.


    "Tick! Tick


    Bean sized raindrops fall in the sky, splashing dust on the ground.


    In a flash, the rain poured down.


    The rain wetted the people in the yard and blurred their sight.


    "Halberd kill, only I am invincible!"


    The iron halberd in dianman''s hand suddenly moved. He rushed to Liu Xiu in the heavy rain. Huge body sprint, Dian man, the whole person has been like a madman.


    "Wow! WOW


    Step on the ground, splashing water stains.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were cold. In his eyes, he burst out a strong sense of war.


    Up to now, he doesn''t want to drag on. The green sword in his hand shakes, the awn of the tip of the sword breathes, and the blue light is shining in the air. A sword, the rain, as if in this moment, was cut off in general.


    The sharp point of the sword, facing Dian man, was handed out.


    Two people in the rain meet in a flash.


    "Hum!"


    The sword pointed a little and stabbed out.


    Liu Xiu''s whole body is like a phantom. After a sword is handed out, he has been staggered with dianman.


    "Ah


    With a scream, dianman fell to the ground.


    The iron halberd in his hand fell to the ground.


    Dian man lay on the ground and looked at Liu Xiu. His eyes showed an incredible look. He roared, "Liu Xiu, what kind of magic do you play?"


    He and Liu Xiu fight, very strange.


    Liu Xiu''s sword hit him in the chest. But the sharp point of the sword was drawn out at the moment of penetration, which can be said to be like a dragonfly skimming water. But at this moment, he suddenly felt weak and fell to the ground involuntarily.


    Blood flow from the wound, but only skin trauma.


    Liu Xiu snorted: "if you are on the battlefield, you are already dead."


    The sword just now actually stabbed dianman''s acupoints, causing him to lose his power in a short time and fall to the ground.


    Timon lowered his head and looked desperate. He tried his best to fight, but he didn''t expect to be defeated by Liu Xiu. He gave his life for his life, and it was hard to stop Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu waved and said, "tie it up!"


    Deng Zhan and others rushed up and tied up Dian man.


    Dian man was hung up and only Xia Hou Shang was left in the yard.


    Liu Xiu, carrying the green sword, stepped forward and said, "Xia Hou Shang, do you admit defeat yourself, or are you tied to the stake like them?"


    Xia Hou Shang stepped back, his eyes full of fear.


    Xu Yi, Dian man and others were defeated, but Xia Hou still had no idea of fighting again.


    "Who dares to bully my son?"


    Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside the gate. Then, I heard a neat and rapid pace coming from outside the gate. Liu Xiu''s ears moved and he knew that the people behind the six men were coming.


    At this point, it is inevitable that things will get big and the conflict has intensified.


    Soon, a tiger general rushed in.


    It was Xu Chu, Cao Cao''s confidant.


    He saw that xiahoushang kept retreating. He pressed xiahoushang''s shoulder and steadied xiahoushang. After his eyes were swept, he saw Xu Yi, Dian man and others hanging on the stake, showing an angry look and said: "Liu Xiu, you have to give Ben Jiang an explanation."


    Liu Xiu began to laugh and seemed very calm. He said faintly, "you should give me an explanation about Xu Chu, Xu Yi, Dian man and so on."


    There is no fear in words.


    Even if Xu Chu came, Liu Xiu didn''t have a trace of fear.

 Chapter 86

    Xu Chu''s eyes were cold and sharp, and he waved: "come on, put the people down for me."


    "Who dares?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were cold. He raised his green sword in his hand and said, "who dares to step forward? Don''t blame my green sword for being impolite. I can kill you. Do you dare to hurt me? "


    In the tone, there is a strong confidence.


    Liu Xiu was a member of the Jingzhou mission, and he was also invited by Cao Cao. He had a green sword in his hand.


    Xu Chu''s soldiers dare not hurt others.


    Xu Chu waved to stop the soldiers, frowning. Liu Xiu also showed a trace of fear in his eyes. As Liu Xiu said, he did not dare to hurt or kill Liu Xiu.


    Otherwise, it will affect Cao Cao''s great events.


    Xu Chu''s eyes were sharp. Under the heavy rain, he went to Liu Xiushen and said in a deep voice, "Liu Xiu, my son is tied up by you and hung in the air, and so are Dian man and Cao Zhen. How do you explain this


    "Explain? Do I need an explanation? "


    Liu Xiu did not give up. His eyes were fixed on Xu Chu. He said in a strong voice: "General Xu loves his son very much. I can understand. But if you don''t ask the reason, you will be convicted. Is that reasonable? "


    "Young master, what happened?"


    Wenpin came back in a hurry. He was nervous when he saw that Xu Chu was surrounded by soldiers.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "mobilize your soldiers and prepare for the battle."


    "No!"


    Wenpin did not ask why, and immediately mobilized soldiers to gather.


    To be sure, there are not many soldiers under wenpin''s command, but all of them have shown their attitude.


    Under the heavy rain, the two sides faced off.


    Xu Chu put out his hand to wipe the rain on his face. He was a little upset.


    It''s not easy to deal with this matter.


    However, Xu Chu couldn''t just let it go. He stared at Liu Xiu and said in a deep voice, "Liu Xiu, no matter how you hang Xu Yi, Dian man and others on the stake, you are wrong."


    Liu Xiu carried his hands behind him and said, "Xu Chu, Cao Sikong said you are a tiger fool. In my opinion, you are a tiger fool. Can''t you have a little brain when you''re so big? "


    In a word, Xu Chu''s face is even more ugly.


    "No mercy, Liu Xiu, put it down."


    A loud voice came from outside the residence.


    The man was big, but he had only one eye in good condition. It was no one else, but charhoughton. Xiahouen was XiahouDun''s younger brother, but xiahouen was the youngest and the youngest.


    The soldiers around XiahouDun were stationed outside the mansion, and XiahouDun entered the courtyard in the heavy rain.


    Liu Xiu saw Xiahou Dun and said with a sneer: "people say that Xiahou is blind, but he is not blind. Now it seems that this blind Xiahou is not only blind in eyes, but also blind in heart."


    The sarcastic words made him furious.


    Liu Xiu''s strength in fighting against others, and Archery''s strength in fighting against Cao Zhang and Dian man, made Xia Houdun feel angry all the time.


    Now Liu Xiu''s words stimulated him, and XiahouDun could not help it.


    "Boy, I want to die!"


    Xia Houdun roared and swung his fist at Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiuqing holds his sword in his hand and stands in the rain, facing his fist, but he doesn''t move. Stand where you are and don''t move. The rain drops fell on Liu Xiu''s face, but Liu Xiu didn''t even blink his eyes


    "Hoo!"


    Fist, finally in front of Liu Xiu three inches stop.


    Liu Xiu reached out and patted Xia Houdun''s fist and said, "Xia Houdun, have the courage to go on. I''d like to see what Cao Cao would do if you beat my son for no reason? What do people in this world think of Cao Cao? "


    In a word, XiahouDun snorted and retreated.


    In his heart, XiahouDun wanted to tear Liu Xiu to pieces, but XiahouDun had to consider Cao Cao''s position.


    Once he took the initiative to beat Liu Xiu, he was the one who beat the Jingzhou mission. After the situation rose, Cao Cao''s situation would be very difficult, and he would be criticized by the important officials of the imperial court.


    Charlotte Houghton threw the rat into the trap and roared, "release people at once, or your house will be demolished."


    Liu Xiu said: "it''s said that Cao Cao''s civil and military officers and generals are all able to be civil and military, and they are intelligent people. How come now, they are all stupid people without any sense? "


    "When something happens, the first thing to consider is not reflection, but coercion."


    "Is this the general under Cao Cao?"


    Liu Xiu looked disappointed and shook his head: "if the people under Cao Cao are so arrogant and unreasonable. In my opinion, Cao Cao, like Yuan Shao, will not last long. "


    The summer Hou Dun stares big eyes, way: "Liu Xiu, you deceive a person too much."


    Liu xiudao: "is it me or you who deceive people too much? Early in the morning, Dian man, Xu Yi and other six people came to the door to provoke. I deal with the small one, and the old one comes to support me. What''s the truth? "


    The corner of Xia Hou Dun''s mouth twitched, looked at Liu Xiu and said, "let people go, this matter ends here.""It''s impossible to let people go."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes are sharp. At this point, he can''t let people go.


    If you release people, where will Liu Xiu and the Jingzhou mission put their face? When people call, they release people immediately. This is not to tell everyone that I am a bully. You can bully me.


    Liu Xiu will not do such a thing.


    "Get out of the way!"


    At the door of the house, a loud voice came out.


    A group of soldiers came quickly, and the man blocking the gate made way.


    It''s Xun Yu!


    Xun Yu went to Xu Chu and Xia Houdun and said, "you two, demobilize the soldiers immediately."


    Xu Chu said, "Mr. Wen Ruo, Liu Xiu deceives people too much."


    XiahouDun said in a deep voice, "Wenruo, this matter must not be settled like this."


    Xun Yu''s cold eyes swept over them. He put out his hand to wipe the rain on his face and yelled, "is it Mr. Liu who is arrogant or you who are arrogant to openly lead the troops around the residence of the Jingzhou mission?"


    But Xu Yi and Cao Zhen were still hanging on the stake


    "They deserve it. Who let them take the initiative?"


    Xun Yu was also angry.


    At the critical moment, Cao Zhen, Dian man, Xu Yi and others took the initiative to provoke. In particular, when things get big, it''s even worse.


    Xia Houdun said: "Wen Ruo, Cao Zhen and Xia houen, though they have made mistakes. But young people are not so punished for their mistakes. "


    Liu Xiu said: "am I younger, or are Xu Yi and Dian man younger?"


    Liu Xiu was very upset with Xia Houdun.


    When Xia Houdun heard the speech, he looked embarrassed, which reflected that Liu Xiu was the youngest man.


    Xun Yu glared at XiahouDun and said, "XiahouDun, do you want to withdraw?"


    In words, anger has risen.


    Hearing the speech, Xia Houdun knew that Xun Yu was angry, and even said hastily, "I''ll withdraw immediately!" Immediately, with a wave of his hand, all the soldiers around him retreated.


    Xu Chu also waved, and all his soldiers withdrew.


    The yard was empty.


    Xun Yu looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Liu, I''m really sorry about what happened today. But you see, Xu Yi, Cao Zhen and others were injured, and now it''s raining heavily. If it rains heavily, it''s not good to leave sequelae. Why don''t you put people down first, and then deal with their provocations? "


    As soon as he opened his mouth, Xun Yu lowered his posture and took the initiative to apologize.


    Chu and Houdun are not happy.


    Liu Xiu said: "the affairs of Xun Shangshu, Xu Yi, Cao Zhen and others seem simple. But I think there are behind the scenes behind this, which is the most important reason, so we can''t release people for the time being. "


    This reason, Liu Xiu is purely for the sake of not letting people go.


    As soon as Xun Yu opened his mouth, Liu Xiu let people go. Liu Xiu couldn''t face up, but he had to find a reason to refuse. However, Cao Zhen, Dian man and others came to challenge and put forward the inference of the backstage driver, that is, they politely refused Xun Yu.


    "Here comes Sikong!"


    Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside the gate.


    Cao Cao didn''t wear a coir raincoat. It rained heavily on his head, so he went straight in.


    When he came in, he glanced at Xu Chu and Xia Houdun. In an instant, they were just like a mouse seeing a cat. They withered and bowed their heads. They did not dare to face Cao Cao''s eyes.

 Chapter 87

    Cao Cao has both hands on his back. As soon as he stands there, he has his own aura.


    Xia Houdun, Xu Chu and others were even more nervous.


    Xun Yu''s expression is dignified, reporting: "Lord, I''m dealing with this matter."


    Cao Cao nodded slightly. He looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Liu, Xu Yi, Cao Zhen and other young people should not do anything, especially when they are provocative. It''s my fault that I''m not strict in this matter. How to punish, Mr. Liu said, according to the official execution


    Liu Xiuqing sword into the sheath, holding in his hand, said: "Sikong, everything is because of the green sword, please take back the green sword."


    In a word, to retreat is to advance.


    Cao Cao''s face became extremely embarrassed.


    In the final analysis, it was beyond Cao Cao''s expectation. He did not expect it to develop to this stage.


    Cao Cao shook his head and refused. He said with a straight face: "Qingchen sword was given to Mr. Liu. It''s Mr. Liu''s sword. I have no reason to take it back. This time, the six boys collided with Mr. Liu. Please ask Mr. Liu to forgive me. As for their punishment, I will certainly satisfy Mr. Liu. "


    "Well, it''s not a big deal."


    Liu Xiu sighed and waved, "Deng Zhan, put people down."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan took the soldiers forward and put Xu Yi, Dian man and others on the ground.


    In Cao Cao''s eyes, however, the essence was shining.


    The more reasonable Liu Xiu is, the more difficult he is.


    This was Liu Xiu''s response, which put Cao Cao in a dilemma. Before Xia Houdun and Xu Chu came, Liu xiuqiang was extremely hard. Xun Yu offered to release people, but Liu Xiu also refused.


    Because, Cao Cao did not appear.


    Now that Cao Cao is here, Liu Xiu is very talkative, but Cao Cao is hard to deal with.


    After careful consideration, Cao Cao said, "don''t worry, Mr. Liu. I will thoroughly investigate this matter. If there is a promoter behind the scenes, I will give an account to Mr. Liu. What the six of them have done must also be punished. They must satisfy Mr. Liu. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Sikong doesn''t have to be like this. It''s just a small conflict."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "Deng AI!"


    "Young master!"


    Deng AI came up and stood respectfully behind Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "hand over the signature to Sikong. Be careful not to get the rain wet. "


    "No!"


    Deng AI quickly held an umbrella to block the rain, and then handed the note to Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao looked at it one by one, his face even more embarrassed.


    This group of smelly boys are really fooling around.


    On the other hand, Liu xiuneng defeated Dian man, Xu Yi and others with one blow. His martial arts is not simple. Cao Cao knew the martial arts of Dian man and others. Liu Xiu won easily, which showed that he was powerful.


    Cao Cao appreciated this even more.


    Cao Cao arched his hand and said, "Mr. Liu is reasonable, and I feel ashamed."


    Liu xiudao: "Sikong doesn''t have to be like this. Let''s call it a day. It''s raining more and more. Sikong, take people back. In particular, they have been injured more or less, so they should go back for medical treatment, so as not to leave future troubles. "


    Mr. Cao Cao said, "thank you for your visit."


    "No!"


    Liu Xiu nodded and watched Cao Cao and his party leave.


    After everyone left, Liu Xiu went back to his backyard, took a hot bath, and drank ginger soup. Then he and Wen pin discussed business together in Pound''s study.


    Pound said justly, "what do you think of today''s affairs, Xiuer?"


    Liu Xiu said: "I took the Qingchen sword. It''s inevitable that people under Cao Cao will have a provocation. In fact, I expected it. After this, Cao Cao owes me a favor, which is more cost-effective. Cao Cao is responsible for this. "


    Mr. pound nodded slightly and said: "although it''s expected, I think there should be someone behind the scenes. Otherwise, it would not be so. You see, Xu Chu, Xia Houdun and others gathered soldiers to kill them in a short time. "


    Liu xiudao: "what does the teacher mean?"


    Liu Xiu didn''t have this idea about the people who contributed to the fire.


    In Liu Xiu''s opinion, it''s expected that someone will come to the door to provoke. In the previous conversation with Xun Yu, he mentioned that someone was pushing behind the scenes, just because he was delaying others.


    Pound Fair: "the reason is very simple, if there is a conflict, even if you do not stop killing people, or the other party accidentally killed you, who is the winner?"


    "Jiangdong!"


    Liu Xiu didn''t even think about it and answered directly.


    As a result, Jiang Dong is the biggest beneficiary.


    A snipe and a clam fight for a fisherman''s profit. Jiangdong is a fisherman.


    "What the teacher meant was that Zhang was involved behind the scenes," Liu said


    Mr. pound nodded and said, "Zhang Zhen must have done something about this. In the old days, Zhang Zhen was an official in Xu county. He had a lot of contacts. It was easy to use a little means. ""In this period of time, Zhang Zhen is not out of the gate, two doors do not step, no action, is suspicious."


    "It''s reasonable to say that Zhang has many old friends in Xu county."


    "After coming to Xu county, Zhang should visit and walk around. Whether it''s for Sun Quan''s sake or Zhang''s own situation, he should pay a visit to maintain the relationship. "


    "However, Zhang did not move all the time."


    Pound just: "Zhang Zhen deliberately avoid suspicion, but there is no silver here, exposing himself."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes flashed a sense of obliteration, and he said: "it seems that we want to get rid of Zhang, and Zhang also wants to get rid of us."


    Pang Degong said: "Jingzhou and Jiangdong are separated by a river. The fight between the two sides is a matter of death. It''s normal for Zhang to do so. "


    "We have to make arrangements as soon as possible. After August 3, Zhang will definitely leave Xuxian County as soon as possible," Liu said


    Wenpin said: "don''t worry, you''ll be finished soon."


    Liu Xiu nodded and had a smile on his face.


    Zhang Zhen designed to kill him, and he would never sit back and ignore it.


    Mr. pound stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "after thinking about it, I think there is another possibility. Perhaps the emperor''s family is behind this


    Liu Xiu frowned with a puzzled look on his face.


    Immediately, Liu Xiu suddenly said: "teacher, you mean that the emperor''s people hope that through this, let me break with Cao Cao completely."


    Pound nodded and said, "yes, that''s it. It''s just that they are different from Zhang Zhen. They need you and don''t want you to die. They just want you to stand on the side of the emperor through this matter. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "it''s really deliberate."


    Pang said: "of the two possibilities, Zhang''s hand is positive. As for the members of the emperor''s family, it is impossible to determine and verify."


    Liu Xiu said: "no matter, this kind of thing is not worth considering."


    "Dong! Dong


    Outside the study, I suddenly remembered the knock on the door.


    Deng AI Chen reported: "young master, my father-in-law Fu Wan is visiting."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "the people who talk about the emperor will come." He said, "bring the men into the hall, and I''ll follow."


    "No!"


    Deng AI nodded, turned and stepped back.


    "Lord pound said:" Fu Wan is coming. Go to meet you, Xiu''er. I will not get involved


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu and wenpin leave. They leave the study. Wenpin returns to his courtyard. Liu Xiu goes to the hall.

 Chapter 88

    Liu Xiu saw Fu Wan. After they took their seats, Liu Xiu had a strong smile on his face and said, "what''s the matter with my uncle''s visit?"


    Fu Wan said: "today, there are two things."


    Liu Xiu asked, "what are the two things?"


    Fu Wan said: "the first thing I heard was that Xu Yi, Dian man and others broke into the mansion and asked for Qingchen sword. Six of them have come to make trouble. I''m worried about Mr. Liu''s safety. Has Mr. Liu ever been injured? "


    Liu Xiu said, "everything is well. Thank you for your concern."


    However, Liu Xiu''s heart, but a burst of contempt.


    If you really care, you can come to help when you get the news. But now that you come here, the cauliflower is cold. This kind of behind the scenes approach is contemptible.


    Clearly, it is not willing to offend Cao Cao.


    Fu finished careful thinking, Liu xiuxin, such as a mirror, has seen through.


    However, Liu Xiu won''t tear it down either. He and Fu Wan just use each other.


    Fu Wan then said, "before I came here, I heard that Mr. Liu defeated Dian man, Xu Yi and others, and tied them to the stake. Is that true?"


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "it''s true."


    Fu Wan gave a thumbs up and said, "I can beat Dian man, Xu Yi and others without any injury. Mr. Liu is not only brilliant in literature, but also excellent in martial arts. I admire him."


    Liu xiudao said, "the father-in-law of the state praised me falsely."


    After a pause, Liu xiudao said, "Cao Cao is thoroughly investigating this matter. Soon, there should be results."


    When talking, Liu Xiu''s eyes were watching Fu Wan''s face change.


    Fu Wan looked as usual and asked, "why do you want to make a thorough investigation? There''s something fishy about it


    Liu Xiuse said: "six people come to the door together to provoke. Although the matter is simple, there may be someone behind it. It''s the matter that needs thorough investigation. "


    Fu Wan''s face became extremely indignant at that time. He said in a positive way: "if there is a real messenger behind the scenes, I will never give up. Mr. Liu is the hope of Hanshi. No matter who is behind the scenes, he will never be spared. "


    This time, Fu Wan really didn''t get involved. Now he''s trying to win over Liu Xiu, but he doesn''t have a mind for Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "thank you, father-in-law!"


    Fu Wan then said, "the second thing is more important. Mr. Liu, how about going to the bedroom to have a talk?"


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu took Fu Wan and went to his bedroom.


    They sat down in the bedroom and asked, "can you hear us next door?"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "the bedroom is very safe. It''s OK for the abbot to say so."


    Fu Wan nodded slightly and said: "in addition to asking about Dian man and others, another thing is to send your Majesty''s imperial edict to Mr. Liu."


    At this time, Fu Wan''s face was very solemn.


    When it comes to the edict, it''s very serious.


    There was a trace of joy in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    I didn''t expect that the emperor''s edict was promulgated so soon.


    Fu Wan took out the bright yellow imperial edict, handed it to Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Liu, the imperial edict comes out of my mouth and into your ear. After going out, I won''t admit it. The imperial edict is extremely secret and must not be disclosed. So please take good care of the imperial edict. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "don''t worry, father-in-law. I''ll take good care of it."


    Fu Wan said: "when Mr. Liu returns to Jingzhou, on the one hand, he will wait for the opportunity, on the other hand, he will take active power. Otherwise, I don''t know how long it will take for King Qin to start. "


    Liu Xiu said: "the abbot can rest assured that I will do my best."


    Fu Wan stood up and said: "I will not stay, otherwise the news will spread to Cao Cao''s ears, and the thief will be suspicious again. Please, Mr. Liu. "


    Liu Xiu replied: "everything is for your majesty, for the Han Dynasty."


    Immediately, Liu Xiu got up and left.


    ¡­¡­


    Residence of Jiangdong mission.


    In the study, Zhang Zhen, wearing a wide robe, sits cross legged.


    Zhou Tai, with a serious face, stood aside and reported: "Zhang Gong, Cao Zhen, Dian man, Xu Yi and other people were defeated by Liu Xiu in their provocation, and all of them were still hanging on the stake. When Xu Chu and Xia Houdun got the news, they rushed over with their troops. Unfortunately, there was no conflict. On the contrary, they were suppressed by Cao Cao who arrived later. "


    Zhou Tai explained the detailed process of the whole thing..


    Zhang Zhen''s eyes narrowed slightly and said, "this Liu Xiu is not simple."


    "It''s a pity that Liu Xiu didn''t fall into the trap and didn''t kill the provocative people," Zhou Tai asked


    Zhang Zhen said coldly: "because Liu Xiu saw through the essence of the matter, in the face of the provocation of Dian man and Xu Yi, he just tied people up and didn''t kill people, because he knew he couldn''t kill them. As long as he doesn''t kill people, his conflict with Cao Cao can''t be ignited. Especially after Cao Cao left, Liu Xiu retreated and handed over Dian man, Xu Yi and others, which made Cao Cao even more difficult. "Zhou Tai solemnly said: "this time, there are certain gains. At least, try to find out that Liu Xiu''s martial arts is very unusual. Even Dian man and Xu Yi are not rivals. We can see that they are powerful. "


    "What''s better than you?" Zhang asked


    Zhou Tai thought for a moment and said, "how much power did he use to fight against Dian man? It''s impossible to judge. It is impossible to judge the stage of Liu Xiu''s strength. But to be sure, Liu Xiu is not my opponent. "


    Zhang Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said: "this time, has the clue been cut off?"


    Zhou Tai nodded and said, "all the clues have been cut off."


    Don''t wait for another chance to kill Liu Dan


    "No!"


    Zhou Tai nodded and felt sorry. If Liu Xiu''s martial arts were a little worse, or if Liu Xiu''s temper was a little more fierce, the plan might have been successful.


    What a pity!


    What a pity!


    Next, Zhou Tai and Zhang Zhen began to discuss the birthday of the emperor.


    ¡­¡­


    Sikong mansion, hall.


    Cao Cao sat on the top with a gloomy face.


    Below, Xu Yi, Dian man, Cao Zhen and other six people are kneeling on the ground, head down.


    Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "what''s the matter? Why do you six go to Liu Xiu''s trouble together? Before, when Qing Chen Jian was presented to Liu Xiu, my official once warned you not to trouble Liu Xiu. Why do you do it again? "


    Six people bowed their heads and their faces were earth colored.


    Cao Cao''s eyes narrowed slightly and said, "come on, who put it forward first to look for trouble?"


    "It''s me!"


    Xu Yi held her head high and took the initiative to answer.


    His face was even more ashamed.


    Cao Cao asked, "why do you propose to go to trouble? Does anyone persuade you?"


    Xu Yi replied, "I met a Ranger named Lin Hui. When I chatted with him, I talked about Qingchen sword. Then, he said that if he wanted to get back Qingchen sword, his humble position would be favored by Sikong and he would be more able to suppress Liu Xiu. After pondering over his humble position, he felt that this was the truth. Then he went to dianman. After persuading dianman, he went to other people and went together. "


    With a flash in his eyes, Cao Cao asked, "where does Lin Hui live and where is he from?"


    Xu Yi replied, "Lin Hui lives alone in Wangxiang house in the east of the city."


    Cao Cao waved and immediately said, "Xu Chu, take a group of soldiers to see Xiangju and bring Lin Hui."


    "No!"


    Xu Chu was ordered to turn around and leave.


    About half an hour later, Xu Chu came back.


    However, Xu Chu came back by himself, and he said: "Lord, when he arrived at wangxiangju, the shopkeeper said that Lin Hui had left, and the shopkeeper didn''t know Lin Hui''s trace."


    Cao Cao''s eyes narrowed, and said: "it seems that this provocation is really incited by someone behind the scenes, otherwise it is impossible to happen today."


    Xun you''s eyes twinkled, and he said, "Lord, this time I''m making trouble, I have some ideas about my humble position."

 Chapter 89

    When Cao Cao was worried, Xun you immediately made a proposal. Immediately, Cao Cao asked, "what''s Gong Da''s plan? Let''s hear it."


    Liu Xiu''s response made it difficult for Cao Cao.


    After all, Liu Xiu showed a great degree of concession. If Cao Cao doesn''t deal with it, or if he doesn''t give a reply, there must be a knot in Liu Xiu''s heart.


    With a smile on his face, Xun you said: "as for the pusher behind the scenes, I think there are no more than two directions. First, the son of heaven''s people; second, Jiangdong Zhang


    Cao Cao nodded and said, "this analysis is reasonable."


    For Liu Xiu''s people, as long as we make a little analysis, we can infer.


    Xun you also said: "since the matter can no longer be verified, we should simply make it an iron case, and define the people who contribute to the fire secretly as the people of the emperor''s family and Zhang Zhen."


    Cao Cao nodded and waved to Xun you to continue.


    Xun you continued: "it''s very easy to solve the problem of the emperor''s arrangement for people to help the flames. Just find a ghost to replace him. However, Zhang can''t offend him easily. "


    "The easiest way is for the Lord to go and tell Liu Xiu about it."


    "My Lord, we can say that the clues were broken when we found Zhang. The Lord has no evidence, so he can''t deal with Zhang. He can only deal with the emperor''s people. "


    "In this case, even if Liu xiuxin was dissatisfied, he would understand the difficulties of the Lord."


    Xun you said: "there are other advantages in doing so, such as alienating Liu Xiu and the emperor, and alienating the relationship between Jingzhou and Jiangdong. Liu Xiu no longer believed in the family of the emperor, and Jingzhou hated Jiangdong. It''s good for the Lord. "


    After listening, Cao Cao''s eyes showed a look of meditation.


    Xun you''s suggestion is workable.


    Cao Cao looked at the others and said, "what do you think?"


    Xun Yu said: "I agree with Gongda''s suggestion. I can find a death row prisoner from the prison. After being executed, I will be charged with the crime and it will be solved."


    Cheng Yu stroked his beard and agreed: "I agree with you."


    All the people answered in unison.


    Cao Cao''s eyes returned to Xu Yi, Dian man and others who had been kneeling on the ground and said, "six of you, get up."


    "Thank you, Lord!"


    Six people get up, their faces are full of shame.


    Cao Cao said: "these six boys come to the door to provoke, but they are even more fighting. Although they are defeated by Liu Xiu, they must give Liu Xiu an explanation. How to deal with them?"


    Xia Houdun said discontentedly, "Lord, even if we don''t deal with them, Liu Xiu can''t say anything?"


    Cao Cao''s eyes were fixed on XiahouDun.


    With a tremble in his heart, XiahouDun changed his words and said, "dispose of it, dispose of it."


    Cao Cao snorted and said, "you go to ask for the kindness of Qingchen sword. I understand. But if you lose, you lose. Even if you don''t have the courage, how can you govern the government? It''s admirable that the six of you are clearly provocative, but they are upright. "


    Dian man bowed his head and said, "Lord, I will know my mistake."


    Xu Yi, Cao Zhen and others also apologized one after another, all with guilt in their hearts. Up to now, they also find that things have become so big that Cao Cao has a lot of trouble in dealing with them.


    Cheng Yu said: "Lord, I have an idea."


    Cao Cao said, "what can Zhong De do?"


    Cheng Yu straightened out: "these six boys said they made a big mistake, but they didn''t. After all, they were all injured, not Liu Xiu. He said that he had made no mistakes, but he went to the door to provoke, which was of a bad nature. The key is how Liu Xiu looks at it. "


    After a pause, Cheng Yu continued: "I think that when my lord goes to see Liu Xiu, he should take them with him and let the six boys plead guilty, which is enough to show his sincerity. As for the punishment of salary or punishment, it is not enough to show sincerity. "


    Cao Cao''s eyes lit up and said, "well, that''s it."


    Immediately, Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and said, "Wenruo, I''ll leave the case to you. In the afternoon, I need to deal with my head."


    Xun Yu said: "don''t worry, my Lord. I will finish my duty."


    Cao Cao looked at Dian man, Xu Yi and other six people, told them to go down to rest, and then dismissed the civil and military generals under his command.


    In the afternoon, Cao Cao took Dian man, Xu Yi and other six people to the residence of the Jingzhou mission.


    When Cao Cao arrived, Pang Degong, Liu Xiu and Wen pin all welcomed him personally.


    Liu Xiu was amused to see that Dian man, Xu Yi and others were carrying thorns and bare arms. I didn''t expect that Cao Cao would make them apologize like this.


    Entering the hall, the guests and the host took their seats. Dian man, Xu Yi and other six people were still standing.


    Cao Cao said: "when Pang Gong, Xiao Liu, Dian man, Xu Yi and others come to the door to provoke, I think it''s not enough to show sincerity to reduce my salary, or to blame how many sticks, or to confine for a few days. In the end, he chose to let them plead guilty and ask Mr. Liu Haihan. "


    Dian man said, "Mr. Liu, Dian man is wrong. Please forgive me."Xu Yi then said, "Mr. Liu, Xu Yi is wrong. Please forgive me."


    The other four also apologized.


    At least on the surface, six people apologized one by one, very respectful.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "it''s a thing of the past. Don''t mention it any more." Cao Cao has given him enough face, and Liu Xiu can''t give Cao Cao too much face to let him down. At that time, Liu Xiu himself will suffer.


    Dian man, Xu Yi and others quickly bowed, and then stood behind Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao also said: "the person behind the scenes, after our official investigation, also found the murderer."


    Liu xiuhao said, "what''s the result?"


    Cao Cao waved, and an attendant came up with a brocade box. Cao Cao said: "the head of the driver behind the scenes is in the box. Please have a look at it."


    The practicing soldier immediately handed the box to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu opened the box, looked at it, closed it, and asked, "Mr. Sikong, what''s the matter?"


    To be sure, Liu Xiu already knows the situation.


    But when Cao Cao came to explain, Liu Xiu had to pretend he didn''t know.


    Cao Cao said: "this time I came to the door for provocation, because dianman and Xuyi were incited. One of their friends belongs to the emperor, and the other belongs to Jiangdong. "


    "The man arranged by the emperor has been killed. The man in the box is the lobbyist who persuades dianman."


    "The lobbyist Xu Yi knew disappeared after he succeeded in persuasion. I''m going to go down with the vine and find out, but the clue is broken in the Jiangdong mission. "


    "I have no evidence to convict the Jiangdong mission."


    "Moreover, this time for the birthday of the emperor, I can''t hastily take down Zhang Dan and others, otherwise it will have a huge impact."


    With a look of guilt, Cao Cao said, "what we can do is to kill the people sent by the emperor, but we can''t do anything about the Jiangdong mission. I''m sorry, Mr. Liu."


    Liu Xiu was shocked by his low attitude.


    Cao Cao''s attitude is rare.


    Liu Xiu said: "Sikong has his difficulties. Now that I have found out clearly, I have a good idea. That''s the end of this provocation. "


    Cao Cao said with a smile, "thank you, Mr. Liu."


    With a smile, Liu Xiu simply talked about other things, and Cao Cao said goodbye.


    Pang Degong, Liu Xiu and Wen pin got up to see each other off. After seeing Cao Cao off, they returned to the hall.


    With a serious face, Pang Degong said: "Cao Cao''s attitude is so low, just for the sake of apologizing. I''m afraid it can''t be said. Cao Cao''s experience is to alienate Jingzhou and Jiangdong. He paid a lot to do so. "


    Liu Xiu said: "Jingzhou and Jiangdong are feuds of their own. It''s the same without Cao Cao."


    "Pound nodded slightly and said:" however, this time, it''s a smooth landing. At least, it didn''t make much waves


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and agreed with Pang Degong.

 Chapter 90

    On August 3, it was sunny and windy.


    Early in the morning, inside and outside the Imperial City, it was already full of festivities.


    In the palace, the emperor Liu Xie put on his formal clothes early, wearing twelve Diaoyuan crowns, sword hanging around his waist, and gold boots, which made him look majestic. Under the guidance of the eunuch, he went to the main hall.


    In the court hall, the officials stood on both sides with solemn faces.


    On the Dragon chair above, it is still empty, and the emperor has not arrived yet.


    "Your majesty


    A voice like a duck''s voice came from outside the hall.


    Then, surrounded by eunuchs, the emperor Liu Xie, wearing a crown and a uniform, strode forward. He has a long and slender figure. He walks with great strides and steady progress.


    Liu Xie took a seat on the Dragon chair and bowed to the officials in the hall.


    "Here comes Sikong!"


    At this time, a loud voice sounded outside the hall.


    Liu Xie listened to the voice, his eyes showed a touch of anger, but well hidden. He is the son of heaven, now the situation, as if Cao Cao is the protagonist, even a step later than him.


    However, Liu Xie can only think in his heart and dare not expose his thoughts.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    Cao Cao, with a golden crown on his head and a sword on his waist, came striding forward.


    Officials in the court hall are not allowed to wear swords when they enter the hall. However, Cao Cao''s sword shoes went up to the hall, and the specifications were extraordinary. Such a situation has already ignored Liu Xie, the little emperor.


    Cao Cao''s face was majestic. He walked to the front of the hall, straightened up, raised his hand to bow, and said casually: "I''ll see you, Cao Cao."


    Liu Xie''s mouth twitched slightly, but with a smile on his face, he said: "Sikong is free."


    "Thank you


    Cao Cao said thanks and turned to look at all the officials in the court.


    All the officials lowered their heads and did not dare to face Cao Cao''s eyes.


    Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "because I''m away, I''ve delayed Your Majesty''s birthday. Today, I wish you a happy birthday. Come on, east of xuanjiang, Zhang Dan will go up to the hall to offer a gift! "


    Cao Cao was extremely overbearing. He stood on the main hall, and no one else dared to rob him.


    "Xuan Zhang Xuan went up to the hall."


    Outside the hall, the soldiers sent word. Soon, Zhang Zhen came in with an entourage.


    Zhang''s clothes were neat and his face was more serious.


    The attendant behind him, holding a sandalwood box in his hand, is more solemn. Zhang Zhen went to the main hall, folded his hands and bowed 90 degrees, saying, "Zhang Zhen, Jiangdong, I''d like to see your majesty."


    "No gift!"


    Liu Xie, like a puppet, waves Zhang to get up.


    Zhang also said: "Your Majesty''s birthday, Kuaiji prefect Sun Quan, presents ten pearls, three night pearls, and a pair of agate. I wish you a long and healthy life."


    Sun Quan''s present official position is used in the address.


    Although Sun Quan was in charge of Jiangdong, his present official position was still only Kuaiji Taishou.


    Sun Quan presented ten pearls, three night pearls and a pair of agate, which were very common gifts. It can be seen that Sun Quan did not have much respect for the emperor.


    Liu Xie''s face was expressionless and said, "you''re very polite, sun Qing!"


    However, in Liu Xie''s heart, it was scolded. Sun Quan, the leader of Jiangdong, was so perfunctory that he was disappointed.


    Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty has known the kindness of sun Taishou. Mr. Zigang, please take a seat. "


    Immediately, a eunuch led Zhang to his seat.


    Zhang''s position is in the second position on the left. The first position on the left and the position under Cao Cao are all empty. Zhang Zhen saw this, frowned slightly, but still sat down.


    Cao Cao also said: "Xuan, King pound of Jingzhou went to the hall to offer a gift."


    "Announce Lord pound to the palace!"


    Once again, the soldier exclaimed. Soon, Lord pound strode forward.


    Behind him, two attendants came in slowly, carrying a sandalwood box.


    Pang Degong, dressed in a black robe, went to the center of the hall, arched his hands and said, "Pang Degong of Jingzhou, I''d like to meet your majesty."


    "No gift!"


    Liu Xie nodded slightly with a smile on his face.


    He had a natural liking for Lord pound. First, Pang Degong was sent by Liu Biao, and Liu Biao was the royal family; second, Pang Degong was Liu Xiu''s teacher, and he had to rely on Liu Xiu.


    No matter from which aspect, he has no reason to face pound.


    "On your Majesty''s birthday, general Zhennan and mu Liubiao of Jingzhou present 108 pearls, 36 pairs of agates, 18 pieces of jade and 9 pieces of antiques. I wish you a healthy dragon."


    Liu Xie nodded slightly, with a stronger smile.


    The number of gifts is far more than that of Jiangdong.


    Zhang Zhen''s face, also revealed a trace of embarrassment, but fleeting.


    Liu Xie said, "I have received Liu Qing''s wish. Liu Qing has a wish."Cao Cao received the message and said, "Your Majesty has already known the congratulatory gift of Liu Jingzhou. Please take Pang Gong''s seat."


    Pound''s position is on the first place on the right, above Zhang. It can be seen that Cao Cao paid more attention to Jingzhou than Jiangdong.


    At this time, Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty''s birthday, I present Xiliang Ma Teng to congratulate you."


    When this remark came out, officials in the imperial court had a discussion.


    Cao Cao had just pacified Bingzhou and unified the north. Now, Ma Teng''s surrender table is presented. It means that Ma Teng has accepted the control of the imperial court in name.


    Such a gift is naturally unusual.


    Liu Xie''s face also showed a trace of excitement. There is another place under the jurisdiction of the emperor.


    Liu Xie said with a smile: "Sikong has a heart. I like Sikong''s gift very much."


    Cao Cao''s face was full of joy. When he looked at pound and Zhang, he was even more elated. The reason why Ma Teng''s surrender table is released now is to inform them that Cao Cao has stabilized the situation in the north and can move his troops south at any time.


    Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger. This is the real knock on the mountain and shake the tiger.


    Zhang Zhen frowned and felt that Jiangdong was facing a crisis.


    Pound''s heart was heavy because he was worried about Liu Xiu. Cao Cao has calmed down the north, which means that he will go south soon. In this way, Liu Xiu has too little time. If we give Liu Xiu two or three more years, the result will be different.


    Cao Cao waved his hand to stop the courtiers from talking, and then said, "courtiers salute!"


    In a word, the ministers in the court began to offer gifts.


    When it was the turn of the courtiers, the standard of offering gifts was naturally reduced a lot, and offering gifts was more varied and different.


    At the end of the courtier''s offering, Cao Cao looked at Pang Degong and asked, "Pang Gong, Liu Xiu is the son of Liu Jingzhou. He is supposed to attend the ceremony for his Majesty''s birthday. Why didn''t he come?"


    With a little smile, Pang Degong replied, "tell Sikong that Liu Xiu has come and is waiting outside the hall. Today, on the birthday of the emperor, Liu Xiu also prepared a gift to celebrate his birthday. "


    Cao Cao''s eyes narrowed, showing a trace of dignified.


    Instinctively, Cao Cao wanted to refuse.


    But Liu Xie couldn''t wait and said, "I''m very curious about what gift Liu Xiu has prepared. Come on, Xuan Liu Xiu


    At the gate, the soldiers didn''t shout when they heard it.


    This scene is even more embarrassing.


    Liu Xie''s face turned red, but he could only look at Cao Cao and wait for his reply.


    Cao Cao suddenly said, "summon Liu Xiu to the hall."


    "Xuan, Liu Xiu went to the hall."


    The soldier opened his mouth and a loud voice came out.


    Xun Yu, Xun you, Cheng Yu and other people smell the speech, the same face, showing a trace of concern. This gift is specially prepared for Cao Cao''s announcement of Ma Teng''s accession to the throne.


    If Liu Xiu interferes, the effect will be weakened.


    However, Cao Cao has agreed that it is impossible to stop it.


    After a while, Liu Xiu strode in with a sandalwood box in his hands. This sandalwood box, five feet long, one foot wide, eight inches high, simple and heavy, dignified in more atmosphere.


    Liu Xiu entered the hall and saw Liu Xie. He bowed and said, "Liu Xiu, meet your majesty."

 Chapter 91

    The way Liu Xie looked at Liu Xiu was very kind.


    Under the imperial edict of appointing Liu Xiu to take charge of Jingzhou, Liu Xiu is the main force to save him, and Liu Xie naturally looks at him.


    Liu Xie laughed and said, "no gift!"


    Cao Cao answered and asked, "Liu Xiu, your Majesty''s birthday, what gift do you offer?"


    Liu Xiu held the sandalwood box in both hands and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty''s birthday, Liu Xiu presented the first emperor''s sword tai''a sword. I wish your majesty a long and prosperous life."


    WOW!


    This remark caused a sensation immediately.


    Looking at Liu Xiu''s eyes one by one, it was even more incredible.


    Tai''a sword is the sword of the first emperor.


    It''s extraordinary that Liu Xiu''s personal gift should be such a heavy gift.


    Compared with Cao Cao''s surrender of Ma Teng, the effect of presenting tai''a sword is even more sensational. The officials in the court, whether from Cao Cao or the emperor, were shocked.


    Liu Xie''s eyes were full of joy.


    As an emperor, having the sword of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty virtually enhanced the emperor''s credibility.


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xie nodded and said, "I''m very satisfied with you


    "Wait!"


    Suddenly, Cao Cao interrupted directly.


    Cao Cao bowed to Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, whether it is tai''a sword or not needs to be verified."


    Liu Xie frowned and his eyes showed dissatisfaction.


    Without waiting for Liu Xie to reply, Cao Cao went straight forward. He took a look at Liu Xiu. For the first time, he felt uncontrollable. It''s amazing that a gift was presented with a sword.


    Cao Cao personally opened the sandalwood box and took out tai''a sword.


    Holding the sword in your hand makes you feel different.


    Cao Cao waved twice in the air, praised: "good sword, good sword!" He stopped and looked at it. Seeing the seal script on the sword, he nodded and said, "it''s really tai''a sword."


    With a wave of his hand, the servant took tai''a sword and sent it to Liu Xie''s desk.


    However, in Liu Xie''s mind, there is something wrong.


    A good tai''a sword passed through Cao Cao''s hand before it reached him.


    Liu Xie Duan was very surprised and said, "Sikong, although Liu Xiu has no official position, he is also a member of the royal family. It''s a great achievement to present tai''a sword this time. How does Sikong plan to reward Liu Xiu? "


    Liu Xie knew that he had to pass Cao Cao to reward Liu Xiu.


    Without Cao Cao''s consent, all the decrees could not be carried out.


    Fu Wan got up, arched his hand and said: "Sikong, Liu Xiu offered tai''a sword. You have to reward it. Otherwise, I''m afraid it will be difficult to convince the public after the news comes out."


    Kong Rong stood up, arched his hand and said, "please Sikong Mingjian!"


    For a moment, the officials of the first Department of the emperor stood up one after another to ask for a reward.


    On the contrary, Cao Cao and his generals did not get up.


    On the main hall, a strange scene was formed. Originally, it was to celebrate the emperor''s birthday, but now it has evolved to take Liu Xiu as the breakthrough point, and began to argue about the reward given to Liu Xiu.


    "Silence


    Cao Cao''s eyes were in a daze, and he yelled in a deep voice.


    For the first time, he looked at Liu Xiu''s eyes, no longer appreciating, but feeling a headache.


    Cao Cao looked around at all the people. In an instant, all the important ministers in the court were quiet.


    When Liu Xiu saw this, he was filled with emotion.


    Cao Cao''s power has been deeply rooted in the hearts of court officials. This is not just Cao Cao''s cruel means, killing countless people. Moreover, because Cao Cao made great contributions to the war, he wiped out the chaos in the north and calmed down the war in the north.


    No one can learn this power.


    Cao Cao''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu again, thinking about the reward for Liu Xiu.


    This award must be able to convince the public, but it can not give Liu Xiu practical benefits. It must also make Cao Cao feel comfortable. Otherwise, it will directly benefit Liu Xiu and make Cao Cao uncomfortable.


    Cao Cao''s eyes swept over Zhang Zhen, and his eyes brightened, thinking of the reward given to Liu Xiu. Immediately, Cao Cao turned to Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, I think of the reward given to Liu Xiu."


    "How to reward?"


    Liu Xie was also curious.


    Most importantly, in Liu Xie''s mind, I wish Liu Xiu could get more benefits. The more benefits Liu Xiu got, the more important Liu Xiu''s role would be.


    Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "if Liu Xiu offers tai''a sword, he has to be rewarded. This official decided to appoint Liu Xiu as the prefect of Yuzhang Prefecture and the shepherd. "


    "Not Sikong!"


    Zhang Zhen got up and objected immediately.


    Yuzhang county is under the rule of Sun Quan. Now Cao Cao has appointed Liu Xiu as the prefect of Yuzhang county. Isn''t this equal to cutting the flesh on Sun Quan?


    Most importantly, this is undoubtedly creating a contradiction between Jiangdong and Jingzhou.


    Cao Cao stared at Zhang and said, "Zhang, why not?"Zhang Dan''s heart thumped. He openly opposed Cao Cao in the main hall. I''m afraid the situation would be very bad. However, when it comes to the interests of Jiangdong, Zhang can not shrink back.


    In the face of Cao Cao, Zhang Gong said: "return to Sikong, Yuzhang county has sunben town guard. Under the governance of sun Ben, Yuzhang county was peaceful and people were safe. The rash placement of the prefect may cause mutiny among the people. "


    Cao Cao''s intention is to let Liu Xiu stir up the situation in Jiangdong and Jingzhou.


    At this time, it is impossible to agree with Zhang.


    As soon as Cao Cao brushed his sleeve, he sternly scolded: "Zhang Zhen, is it necessary for officials to stay all the time when they govern a land? If so, how can the world be governed? "


    Zhang Zhen frowned and didn''t know how to answer for a moment.


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, there was a trace of brilliance and unexpected joy.


    If this order is really issued, it would be more appropriate for Liu Xiu to recommend himself to you County of Changsha as magistrate. Because Changsha County borders Yuzhang county.


    Zhang took a deep breath and said again, "Sikong, please think twice."


    Cao Cao waved and said, "no


    After a pause, Cao Cao turned to look at Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Xiu has excellent ability, both civil and military. He is sure to be able to run Yuzhang county without leaving anything on the road and staying at home at night. Your Majesty''s permission is requested. "


    Liu Xie was also very familiar with the territory division of the Han Dynasty.


    Moreover, after hearing Zhang''s words, Liu Xie knew Cao Cao''s plan, but he didn''t intend to stop it.


    If Liu Xiu had the ability, he would fight for Yuzhang Prefecture.


    Liu Xie big sleeve a whisk, said: "I am accurate."


    Immediately, Liu Xie asked people to prepare the imperial edict, then sealed it and handed it to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu, holding the imperial edict in his hand, bowed and said, "thank you, your majesty."


    Liu Xie nodded slightly, feeling that the relationship between himself and Liu Xiu was a step further.


    Looking at this scene, Cao Cao also looked forward to the further intensification of the conflict between Jingzhou and Jiangdong.


    After the ceremony, Liu Xiu sat down beside Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao ordered a banquet. At the banquet, there were singers, wine and food, which were both appetizing and delicious. Most of the officials in the hall were Cao Cao''s.


    Under the leadership of Cao Cao, the banquet was very lively.


    After the banquet, Cao Cao led the civil and military officials to go out, and Pang Degong and Liu Xiu also went out with a smile. Only Zhang Zhen was in a very low mood.


    This time, Cao Cao appointed Liu Xiu to be the prefect of Yuzhang Prefecture, clearly to provoke a war between the two sides.


    After walking out of the palace, Zhang Zhen looked at Pang Degong and said, "Pang Gong, Cao Cao has a different intention. Please report to Liu Jingzhou carefully after you return to Jingzhou about the eunuch of Yuzhang county. "


    Pang Degong nodded and said: "I will explain things about Yuzhang County clearly. When will Zigang leave for China? "


    "I''ll go to Sikong mansion to say goodbye to Cao Cao early tomorrow morning," Zhang replied


    Mr. pound nodded and said, "in this way, we may have taken the lead. Today, I said goodbye to Cao Cao, and then I was ready to leave. "


    "In that case, I wish Pang Gong a pleasant journey."


    Zhang said, got on the carriage and left.


    When Pang Degong and Liu Xiu looked at each other, they also boarded the carriage and went to their residence.

 Chapter 92

    Jingzhou mission, residence.


    When Pang Degong and Liu Xiu returned, they immediately invited wenpin to their study.


    Wen pin asked: "Pang Gong, today I wish the emperor''s birthday. What''s the situation?"


    With a strong smile on his face, Pang Degong said: "the effect of the birthday is very good. Xiuer presents tai''a sword as a gift and is appointed as the prefect of Yuzhang County by the emperor. Although Yuzhang county is under Sun Quan''s rule, in name, Yuzhang county belongs to Jingzhou. I''m afraid Zhou Mu will agree with that. "


    "Tai a Jian? When did master Xiu get it? "


    Wen pin was surprised at the speech.


    Tai''a sword was the sword of Ying Zheng, the first emperor. It''s incredible that Liu Xiu got tai''a sword.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "it''s luck to get Tai a Jian. Xiao AI needs a sword. I took him to buy a sword, and then I met him. "


    After Liu Xiu explained the detailed process, wenpin was even more amazing.


    Pound said justly: "when I left the palace, I asked Zhang Dan. He and Zhou Tai would go to Sikong mansion early tomorrow morning to say goodbye to Cao Cao. If we want to act, we must go ahead. So, general Zhongye, you immediately ask people to pack up and get ready to leave. Xiuer and I are going to the Sikong mansion to say goodbye. "


    "No!"


    Wenpin got the order and agreed immediately.


    Wenpin is also worried about protecting Pang Degong and Liu Xiu this time.


    After all, it''s going deep into Cao Cao''s hinterland.


    Now that he is about to leave, Wen pin is relieved that as long as he returns smoothly, his mission to Xu county will be successfully completed.


    Pang Degong and Liu Xiu left the mansion and took a carriage to Sikong mansion.


    When they arrived at Sikong''s mansion, they handed in the invitation. Under the guidance of the attendants, they came to the hall to wait.


    Soon, Cao Cao came to the hall.


    Seeing Pang Degong and Liu Xiu, Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Pang Gong and Xiao Liu have nothing to do but go to the three treasures hall. If they come to find our official, they must have something to do. Sit down and say."


    "Thank you, Mr. Sikong!"


    Pang Degong and Liu xiudao thank you, and then sit down.


    Cao Cao said, "Pang Gong, what''s the matter?"


    Pound said justly: "I''m here to say goodbye to Sikong. The mission of this trip has been completed. Therefore, I plan to leave for Xiangyang today. "


    Cao Cao said, "how can Pang Gong be in such a hurry? Today he just celebrated the emperor''s birthday. This has just ended. Are you going to leave soon?"


    Pound said: "I''ve been in Xu county for some time. Jingzhou still has some important things to do. Besides, Xiuer needs to return to Xiangyang as soon as possible. He also has something to do. So I decided to leave today. "


    Cao Cao was silent for a moment, and said: "Pang Gong, how about this? I''ll hold a banquet in Sikong mansion tonight to practice for you. How about leaving early tomorrow morning? "


    Mr. pound shook his head and said, "I''m very grateful for Sikong''s kindness. However, I really have something to do. I need to go back to Xiangyang as soon as possible. As a matter of fact, shortly after arriving in Xu county, Liu Jingzhou sent a letter to ask about the progress of celebrating the emperor''s birthday. "


    Liu Xiu said: "this time I come to Xu county, thank Sikong for his hospitality. If there is a future, drink with Sikong again. "


    After hearing this, Cao Cao knew that Pang Degong and Liu Xiu had made up their minds.


    Cao Cao did not want to stop him. He said, "well, since Pang Gong and Mr. Liu have decided, there is a long way to go. In the future, I will get drunk with Pang Gong and Mr. Liu."


    "Thank you for your understanding," said pound


    Immediately, pound took out all kinds of customs clearance documents and asked Cao Cao to use his seal. After all the documents were stamped with Cao Cao''s seal, Pang Degong and Liu Xiu left Sikong mansion.


    Cao Cao sat in the hall, suddenly lost.


    He was very appreciative of Liu Xiu.


    Now Liu Xiu left Xu county, Cao Cao''s heart, inevitably some lost. But in a flash, Cao Cao''s heart was full of fighting spirit, and he began to think about winning Jingzhou, so as to lay the foundation for his future acceptance of Liu Xiu.


    Back at the mansion, Lord pound ordered his departure.


    Wenpin led the army escort, a team of people, the mighty left Xu county.


    After leaving Xu county, the party began to speed up.


    In the afternoon of that day, pound and his party had gone out of Xu county. The way back, and the way to come, have changed to a certain extent. When I came to Yingchuan County, I went through Yangzhai county and Yingyin county to Xu county, which is located in the west of Xu county.


    This time back, straight to Wuyang County, southwest of Xu county.


    After Wuyang County, you can enter Ye County of Nanyang County in Jingzhou, and then go south to return to Xiangyang.


    ¡­¡­


    Early in the morning on August 4.


    Zhang Zhen personally went to Sikong mansion and said goodbye to Cao Cao.


    When Cao Cao met Zhang, he still insisted on Zhang''s stay. He hoped Zhang would stay a little longer. However, Zhang''s intention to go had been decided, and Cao Cao did not want him to stay any longer. He personally sent Zhang to leave.


    Seeing Zhang Zhen leave, Cao Cao''s eyes showed a trace of coldness.Zhang Dan was under his eyes, and Cao Cao was in his heart. To be sure, Cao Cao respected Zhang, but that was his personal stand.


    Zhang Dan stood in the position of Jiangdong and Cao Cao in the position of the imperial court.


    In this way, Cao Cao could not let Zhang go easily.


    "Somebody


    Cao Cao sat upright in the hall and ordered.


    A servant came in and stood in front of Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao ordered: "inform Xun Yu and ask him to pass orders along the way. Wherever Jiangdong mission passes, the return journey back to Jiangdong should be appropriately postponed, but no killing or conflict is allowed."


    "No!"


    When the soldier got the order, he turned down to inform Xun Yu of the arrangement.


    Cao Cao''s mouth, a smile.


    Pang Degong and Liu Xiu return to Xiangyang one step earlier, which means that Liu Biao can arrange in advance when he knows Liu Xiu''s appointment as the prefect of Yuzhang county. When Sun Quan knows, he will fall behind one step.


    After he left Sikong mansion and returned to his residence, he ordered him to leave.


    They left Xu county and headed south.


    Yuzhou and Yangzhou border on each other. As long as they go all the way south, after leaving Yingchuan County of Yuzhou, they will enter Yangzhou, and then they can return to Jiangdong. The team left the territory of Xu county and soon went out of Yingchuan county and entered the territory of Runan County.


    Runan County, after the war, the territory of the people in decline.


    Even if Cao Cao reduced taxes, encouraged farming, and encouraged people to have children, Runan County was still a bit desolate. Even, many mountain bandits, who have become bandits, plunder everywhere from time to time.


    As a result, Runan County is the most chaotic County in Yuzhou.


    After entering Yinqiang County of Runan County, Zhou Tai cheered up


    he rode on his horse, looked around his soldiers, and ordered: "bandits are rampant in Runan County, all cheer up and be careful."


    All of the more than 100 elite soldiers under his command are cautious. These 100 elite soldiers are veteran soldiers in the army, and they are all experienced. Without Zhou Tai''s warning, they are all on guard.

 Chapter 93

    Zhang Zhen was sitting in the carriage. His thin body fluctuated up and down with the turbulence of the carriage. The official road ahead is no longer flat, but becomes rugged and difficult to walk, leading to the constant bumps of the carriage.


    Sitting in the carriage, Zhang Zhen felt that all his bones were about to fall apart.


    In his early fifties, even though he was hale and hearty, he was also very sick on such a road. After a long time, the body can''t bear it.


    "Stop the car!"


    Zhang gave a direct order.


    "Woo!"


    The coachman waved his whip and stopped.


    Zhou Tai rode over and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what can I do for you?"


    Zhang Zhen lifted the curtain of the carriage door and came out. Standing on the shaft of the carriage, he rubbed his sore waist and said, "you Ping, the carriage is too bumpy. I can''t stand it. Slow down. I''m walking. After walking through this bumpy section of road, you can take a carriage. "


    Zhang''s face also showed a trace of paleness.


    Zhou Tai said: "your health is very important. It''s really hard for you to take this journey."


    Zhang Zhen stepped out of the carriage, and Zhou Tai rolled out of the carriage.


    Team, and slowly continue to move forward.


    Zhou Tai helped Zhou Tai and walked along, saying: "there are still twelve miles left on such a bumpy road. After going there, there will be a broad official road. At that time, you can go quickly. However, the twelve Li road is surrounded by mountains and forests, and five li ahead, in the mountains and forests, there is a valley. The terrain is quite narrow, but it is also a must pass place. "


    "Have you explored it?" Zhang asked


    Zhou Tai nodded and said, "we''ve explored. There''s no ambush."


    Zhang Zhen felt relieved when he heard the speech.


    Let''s go. Let''s go.


    In fact, five miles is not too long for ordinary people. But for Zhang Zhen, it took a longer time to walk on Wuli road.


    The team arrived outside the valley at noon.


    Zhou Tai looked at the soldiers around him and suggested, "Mr. Zhang, the sun is high in the middle of the day and the sun is very strong. Although the valley is shady, it''s a little sultry because of the narrow terrain and the lack of ventilation. We''ll take a break in the shade, have lunch, have a rest, and then we''ll set out and go in one go. "


    "Yes


    Zhang was also a little out of breath and quite tired.


    They stopped outside the valley to rest.


    The soldiers immediately cooked and prepared to eat.


    Zhang said: "after we left Xu county, we passed through the checkpoints of Runan and Yingchuan. At that time, Cao Jun, who was stationed there, let us stay for a day on the ground of encircling bandits. Into Runan County, the way to the last checkpoint, but also the other side to find a reason to delay our progress. In my opinion, Cao Cao is deliberately delaying our return journey. "


    Zhou Tai clenched his fist and said, "the thief Cao can be punished for his heart!"


    Zhang said: "but even if we understand, there is no way. In Cao Cao''s territory, we can''t have a conflict with Cao Jun, can we? At that time, it will be us who will be affected. "


    Zhou Tai said, "what''s Cao Cao''s intention in doing this?"


    Zhang Zheng said: "when celebrating the emperor''s birthday, Liu Xiu presented the first emperor''s sword tai''a sword. As a result, the emperor appointed Liu Xiu as the prefect of Yuzhang Prefecture. Perhaps, Cao Cao wants Pang Degong and Liu Xiu to return to Jingzhou first and let them make arrangements first. "


    Zhou Tai''s eyes narrowed and said, "what does Zhang Gong mean is that Cao Cao deliberately caused the conflict between Jingzhou and Jiangdong?"


    "So it is


    Zhang Zhen nodded and looked at Zhou Tai, slightly surprised.


    I thought Zhou Tai was just a martial arts man. It seems that if I can follow Sun Quan, I don''t know anything.


    The two chatted about this mission. After dinner, they began to have a rest.


    Half an hour is fleeting.


    Zhang Zhen stretched himself, stood up and said, "you Ping, let''s go. Keep going."


    "Let''s go, keep going."


    Zhou Tai helped Zhang to get up, and then said, "Mr. Zhang, you don''t think so. You ride on the horse, I lead the horse forward. The horse won''t bump, and your body can bear it. "


    Zhang Zhen shook his head and said: "riding on a horse, I can''t bear it on my waist. Forget it. Take your time. "


    When Zhou Tai heard of the speech, he had to take a team of people and horses to the valley.


    When entering the valley, Zhou Tai ordered, "all of you should be alert." Although the situation of the valley has been investigated, Zhou Tai is still on guard.


    In fact, in the territory of Runan, Cao Cao is also responsible for Zhang Dan''s mistakes.


    To some extent, Cao Cao wanted to protect Zhang Dan and others.


    However, it is impossible for Cao Cao to send troops to protect him, and even if something happens, he can find a reason to shirk.


    The length of the valley is about three li.


    The terrain in the valley is narrow. The narrowest place is just enough for the next carriage to move forward. The road is very difficult.Zhou Tai helped Zhang to move forward carefully.


    At this time, the advancing team is very long.


    Right in the middle of the valley, above the valley, in dense woods and grass.


    Clusters of grass, slightly shaking.


    Under the grass, there were people in black.


    The first one was Liu Xiu.


    After Liu Xiu and Pang Degong left Xu county, Pang Degong continued to advance under the protection of wenpin. Liu Xiu left with Deng and 20 soldiers. Together, there are more than ten Rangers gathered by Deng Zhan.


    These rangers are all people Deng Zhan knows.


    Every one of them is brave and ruthless. They are good at boxing, swordsmanship and swordsmanship. Every one of them has a special skill. Everyone has a homicide case.


    These people listen to Deng Zhan, but they are even more obedient when they see Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu''s reputation in Xu county can be described as thunderous.


    The Rangers feel that they can follow Liu Xiu, and they are more willing to do so.


    "Rustle!"


    After a while, a soldier came to Liu Xiu''s side and reported: "young master, the team of Zhou Tai and Zhang Dan has entered the valley. Wait a little longer and you''ll be in the middle of the valley. Zhang''s carriage was in the middle of the procession. "


    Liu Xiu waved and said in a low voice, "continue to observe."


    As the soldiers retreated, Liu Xiu fell on the top of the mountain, staring at the official road at the foot of the mountain.


    The official road in the center of the valley is relatively wider and flatter.


    This position is just suitable for pushing down big stones or shooting with bow and arrow. So, this is the place Liu Xiu chose.


    "Wheel! Wheel


    The sound of wheels turning came from the foot of the mountain.


    A group of soldiers entered Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    Looking down from the top of the mountain, one by one Jiangdong soldiers in armor moved forward slowly. Among them, a carriage came slowly.


    When Liu Xiu saw the carriage, he felt excited.


    If you smash a cart from the top of the mountain, you can kill it. Seeing the carriage getting closer and closer to the place where the big stone fell, Liu Xiu''s hand slowly raised.


    "Let it go


    Suddenly, Liu Xiu roared.


    Boom!


    With a loud noise, a huge stone on the mountain was pushed down the valley by the soldiers.


    Boom!


    The rocks rolled down, and the express delivery was very fast. In a flash, the whole stone fell to the bottom of the valley, and then hit the carriage which came slowly.


    "Bang!"


    With a loud noise, the carriage toppled over and was crushed to the ground by a big stone.


    "Boom!"


    At the same time, at the exit and entrance of the valley, there was a rumbling sound. A piece of rock, constantly rolling down, blocking the road in the valley.


    "Whew! Whew


    A bow and arrow, like the heavy rain.


    Arrow like rain, shooting Jiangdong soldiers in the valley. Rao Shi''s army of Jiangdong soldiers was very long, but when the dense rain of arrows continued, Jiangdong soldiers were immediately hit hard.


    Bursts of shrill screams came from the valley.


    Big rocks fall, bows and arrows rain.


    For a time, Jiang Dong''s soldiers were seriously injured and killed, and Zhou Tai was so nervous that he kept directing the soldiers to escape.

 Chapter 94

    Zhou Tai protected Zhang Dan and yelled: "Duke Zhang, hurry up, hurry up, you should hide under the stone wall, so as not to be affected by the bow and arrow."


    At the moment, Zhang Zhen is also very nervous. He retreats to the stone wall and takes care to avoid affecting Zhou Tai.


    "Set, set."


    Zhou Tai roared and ordered his soldiers to gather.


    However, under the dense rain of arrows, the soldiers fell to the ground one by one, either dead or wounded.


    Around Zhou Tai, soldiers began to gather.


    Even if Zhou Tai reacted quickly, but under the attack of bow and arrow, and the constant attack of Dashi, the casualties became more and more serious. In a flash, twenty or thirty people had died under the bow and arrow.


    This scene made Zhou Tai''s eyes crack and his heart hate.


    "We went to the middle of the valley, and we rushed forward. Further on, you can rush out of the valley. "


    Zhou Tai gathered most of the soldiers and ordered them to rush forward.


    At the same time, Zhou Tai sent out a part of soldiers to protect Zhang, to ensure that Zhang was not affected.


    Along the way, the arrow like rain.


    The rolling stones are still falling down.


    Three li long narrow valley Road, full speed running, just a moment, but now, it is incomparably long. Every blink of an eye, there are soldiers killed and wounded.


    The narrow valley has become the abyss of harvesting life.


    One by one Jiangdong soldiers, in advance, constantly fell to the ground.


    Death and injury, more and more serious.


    "Speed up, fast, fast, move forward, and you''ll be out soon."


    The sword in Zhou Tai''s hand was dancing. He pushed away the bow and arrow, and rushed forward with the soldiers.


    When they came to the exit of the valley, Zhou Tai was stunned.


    The exit of the valley is full of stones. The stones that had just fallen from the mountain were three feet high and could not be shaken.


    At the top of the mountain, more bows and arrows were shot down to prevent the soldiers from crossing.


    Zhou Tai''s eyes turned and said, "back, back immediately."


    At that time, Zhou Tai decisively ordered to retreat, but when he retreated along the road, he was also attacked by stones and feather arrows, and the number of casualties continued to increase.


    Zhang Zhen was protected by the soldiers. Seeing that Zhou Tai retreated in a disorganized way, he said in a loud voice: "you Ping, find a place where the terrain is narrow and you can stop with the help of the mountain to resist the bow and arrow."


    After hearing this, Zhou Tai immediately executed it.


    The party ran forward for a while and came to a place.


    In this place, the terrain is narrow. The space above the head is only six feet wide, while the space below it is eighteen feet high and five feet wide. The stones protruding from the top of the head can resist the bow and arrow.


    All of you stand down there, safe for now.


    On each face, already look tired.


    With a serious face, Zhang said: "you Ping, you can''t be in chaos now. If you continue to run back and forth, your soldiers will soon be dead and wounded. In this way, it is in the other party''s favor. "


    Zhou Tai worried: "Mr. Zhang, if we don''t step back, we will be trapped in the valley."


    Although Zhang was nervous in his heart, after all, he had gone through the storm and was not in chaos in the face of danger.


    He calmed down, shook his head and said, "no, we don''t move. That''s the best way to deal with it."


    "Before entering the valley, you sent someone to explore the entrance and exit of the valley. There were no stones. This means that the stones at the exit of the valley have just been pushed down. "


    "Since the exit is blocked, how can the entrance not be blocked?"


    "In this way, we are the turtles in the urn."


    Zhang Zhen became more and more calm and continued to analyze: "you are now retreating. In the process of retreating, the soldiers will be exposed, and they will be killed by bows and arrows, or by big stones. When you get to the entrance, the soldiers will suffer more. Then, you have no way back, and you have to retreat back into the valley to avoid bows and arrows. In this way, the casualties will increase again. "


    If Liu Xiu heard Zhang''s analysis, he would certainly praise it.


    Liu Xiu''s stratagem is just like this. Taking advantage of Zhou Tai''s running back and forth, he constantly shoots or kills Zhou Tai''s elite, and weakens Zhou Tai''s forces to the greatest extent.


    After listening, Zhang Gong said, "it''s not appropriate for us to stop."


    "No, I can only stop now."


    Zhang Zhen''s eyes were shining with wisdom, and his face was extremely calm.


    Around the soldiers see, a nervous heart, inexplicably calm down, no longer restless.


    With a brush of his sleeve, Zhang said categorically: "the territory of Runan is under the rule of Cao Cao. Although the thieves and bandits ambush, they can not spend too much time, because the longer the time is delayed, it is not good for them, and it is easy to attract the army of the government. "


    "The valley is long and narrow, and the opponent can''t attract attention, and can''t use fire attack."


    "So, after we stop, the only way for each other is to go into the valley and fight with us head on.""Besides, we have dry food on us. If the other party doesn''t come in, we stay in the valley, and it doesn''t make any difference. It takes time. We can afford it. "


    "As long as we don''t mess with ourselves, this war will not fail."


    Zhang Zhen looked at Zhou Tai and said, "you Ping, they are just ordinary thieves. Once they enter the valley, you can catch the thief and the king, and kill the opponent''s head first, and the battle will be won. They go into the valley and catch a turtle in a jar. The turtle is a mountain thief. "


    Zhou Tai''s face showed admiration and said, "Jiang is still spicy. Zhang Gong''s analysis is very correct."


    Zhou Tai immediately arranged for the soldiers to guard and let the other soldiers rest.


    Taking advantage of the gap, Zhou Tai began to count the soldiers.


    This time he was sent to Xu county, Zhou Tai had more than 100 elites under his command. After counting down, we found that only 32 soldiers were left behind.


    Among them, several soldiers were seriously injured, and many were slightly injured.


    Zhou Tai''s heart was heavy and his eyes were murderous.


    Boom!!


    In the valley, the stones continued to roll down and the bows and arrows continued to shoot down.


    However, the scream gradually subsided.


    Liu Xiu looked down from the top of the mountain and asked his soldiers to look at the situation in the valley. He found that the other side chose to hide under the rocks and no longer moved.


    Deng Zhan said: "young master, the other party is hiding. What shall we do?"


    Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "this Zhou Tai is not in chaos in the face of danger. He has stabilized the morale of the army so soon, and he is still hiding. He is very powerful. This is forcing us into the valley to fight head on. "


    This result was expected by Liu Xiu.


    It is impossible to kill Zhou Tai only by bows, arrows and stones. The function of bows, arrows and stones is to hit each other in large quantities. If you really fight, you have to fight head-on.


    Liu Xiu waved and said, "mobilize all the soldiers and rangers to enter the valley."


    Deng Zhan got the order and went down immediately.


    A group of people gathered at the entrance of the valley, then climbed over the huge stones and walked along the road of the valley. Along the way, when he met Jiang Dongbing lying on the ground, Liu Xiu ordered all the soldiers to stab each other''s heart with spears and kill each other completely.


    This attack on Zhou Tai and Zhang Dan was a secret operation, and the information could not be leaked.


    All Jiangdong soldiers, no one left.


    All the way forward, through the middle of the narrow road, and further forward more than ten Zhang, you can see the front of the stone, Zhou Tai''s soldiers, back against the stone wall rest.


    Liu Xiu was stunned when he saw the situation ahead.


    Because Zhang Zhen didn''t die.


    Liu Xiu saw the stone hit the carriage with his own eyes. He thought Zhang was dead. Now he found that Zhang was not dead. He was surprised and died. Then he said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, your life is so big. The stone hit the carriage and didn''t kill you."


    Zhang Zhen laughed angrily and said: "I will not die. I''m afraid you are disappointed. Fortunately, I didn''t take a carriage when I entered the valley. Otherwise, I don''t even know who killed me. I thought it was a mountain bandit ambush, but I didn''t expect it was xiugongzi. "


    In Zhou Tai''s eyes, he was also murderous.


    Originally, Zhou Tai thought it was a bandit attack, but unexpectedly it was Liu Xiu.


    This result is unexpected.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "when I was in Xu county, Duke Zhang was behind the scenes, and he wanted me to die in the hands of Dian man and Xu Yi? Now I''m going to kill Mr. Zhang. It''s normal for me to return one report to another. "

 Chapter 95

    "Ha ha ha It''s reasonable for young master Xiu to say so. It''s just that it''s not known who killed whom. "


    There was a look of appreciation in Zhang''s eyes.


    Liu Xiu''s ambush was beyond Zhang''s expectation, which was not taken into account. In particular, Liu Xiu did not have many troops, so he dared to lead an ambush by himself, which was even more daring.


    Zhang Zhen looked confident and said: "the ambush of young master Xiu is amazing. It''s a pity that you have blocked the exit before and after, but you''ve got yourself tied up. Your original intention was to catch turtles in the urn, but I''m afraid the turtles in the urn are young master Xiu. "


    Zhang is very confident about Zhou Tai''s martial arts.


    Zhou Tai''s ability was enough to kill Liu Xiu.


    If Liu Xiu can be killed this time, it means that Jingzhou''s threat to Jiangdong can be cut off.


    In Zhang''s view, Liu Biao is the master of keeping success, and it is impossible to take the initiative to attack Jiangdong. And Liu Biao''s two sons, Liu Qi and Liu Cong, are of average ability, far worse than Liu Biao, let alone threatening Jiangdong.


    However, Liu Xiu is different.


    Liu Xiu''s courage is amazing, and he is also good at both literature and martial arts.


    If such a person inherits Jingzhou, the threat to Jiangdong will be enormous. Now, the opportunity is in front of us, giving Jiangdong a chance to kill Liu Xiu.


    There was a trace of expectation in Zhang''s eyes.


    Liu Xiu said: "Duke Zhang is worthy of being a wise man in Jiangdong. In a short time, he discovered the shortcomings of this strategy. However, since I dare to come, I won''t be afraid of you. "


    Zhou Tai waved and said, "Mr. Zhang, step back and I''ll kill this Liao."


    A golden back sword in hand, Zhou Tai''s eyes, murderous. Thirty two elite men under his command, all with steel knives in their hands, were staring at the people under Liu Xiu''s command.


    This is a hundred battle elite, all brave and fearless.


    "Kill


    Zhou Tai ordered his soldiers to charge immediately.


    Liu Xiu sneered twice and ordered: "spear formation, kill!"


    In the narrow pipe, only five soldiers under Liu Xiu''s command formed a row, two rows of soldiers armed with spears, lined up to meet. The spear tilted forward and shot out quickly.


    The spear is more than ten meters long, and it has a natural advantage in length. It directly penetrates into the body of Jiangdong soldiers.


    "Pooh! Poof


    Blood gushing, one by one Jiangdong soldiers, screamed and fell to the ground.


    "Follow me, go!"


    Zhou Tai saw that the opponent was attacking with a spear array. He was not afraid in his eyes and charged with a golden sword.


    "Open it for me!"


    Before coming to the spear formation, Zhou Tai kept chopping with a golden back sword in his hand.


    "Dang! Dang


    The golden back broadsword hit a spear and directly blocked the spear.


    As soon as the blade turned, Zhou Tai strove forward.


    "Chaka!"


    It''s a spear. It''s split.


    Sharp blade, down, hula, across a soldier''s body. In a flash, the soldier''s body, has been turned into two, red blood with the body, spilled on the ground.


    Zhou Tai''s body was covered with blood. However, he didn''t care at all. With the steel knife in his hand, he slashed left and right and broke the spear array in an instant.


    Jiangdong soldiers under his command rushed up.


    Both sides began to fight close.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu ordered the rest of the soldiers to fight with steel knives.


    Spearmen are suitable for the initial assassination. Once they fight close, spears become a burden in the narrow valley. One by one, soldiers with spears threw away their spears and drew their swords to fight with each other.


    The Rangers in the rear, armed with weapons, joined the fight.


    Liu Xiu joined the regiment with a green sword.


    The cold light of the sword is shining in the narrow valley. Liu Xiu handed out a sword. The light of the sword flashed and cut through the throat of a Jiangdong soldier.


    "Kick! Kick


    Liu Xiu made rapid progress and opened his way.


    His swordsmanship is treacherous and nimble. When people shuttle among the Jiangdong soldiers, they see them falling down one by one.


    "Zhang Zhen, take your life."


    After Liu Xiu avoided the Jiangdong soldiers of the brigade, he roared.


    People are approaching Zhang.


    The soldiers who protect Zhang Zhen rush up to prevent Liu Xiu from advancing.


    However, Liu Xiu''s swordsmanship is outstanding. He swims among the Jiangdong soldiers and cuts their throats.


    A sword, a man, no one can stop.


    Zhou Tai is fighting. After hearing Liu Xiu''s cry, he looks back and finds that Liu Xiu is approaching Zhang Zhen. He is nervous and turns around to kill him.


    "Kill


    Zhou Tai roared, and the golden back broadsword swung in the air and chopped down.


    This knife is magnificent.


    The blade is fierce, as if it formed a pithy training, with the potential of no match. It''s frightening.Liu Xiu at the foot of a turn, thin body drops Liuliu of turn a bend, avoid the blade. With a crash, Jiang Dongbing, who was in front of Liu Xiushen, was cut in two by Zhou Tai''s blade.


    Just at this moment, Zhou Tai''s blade, there was a short pause.


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, the essence was shining.


    Here''s the chance!


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed. He held the sword tightly and jumped out.


    "Hum!"


    The light of the sword shakes, and Liu Xiu''s figure moves in front of Zhou Tai.


    Whoa!


    Zhou Tai''s abdomen, left a wound.


    Qingchen''s sword is sharp and unparalleled. It''s already full of flesh and blood.


    Liu Xiu stared at Zhou Tai and said, "Zhou Tai, my goal is you. The reason why he yells to kill Zhang Zhen is that he wants you to come back and give you a fatal blow when your blade falls. I didn''t expect that I just hurt your abdomen. "


    Zhou Tai stared at Liu Xiu coldly, endured the pain of his lower abdomen, and roared: "kill!"


    Zhou Tai''s goal is Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu is the mainstay of the other party. If Liu Xiu is killed, the other party will collapse.


    "Deng Zhan, you go to kill Zhang Dan."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes are cold. He avoids Zhou Tai''s attack and kills another Jiangdong soldier.


    It''s not easy to kill Zhou Tai.


    In terms of strength, Liu Xiu has a great disadvantage. Moreover, Zhou Tai was in his prime of life and his strength was at its peak, while Liu Xiu was only 18 years old and had not yet reached the peak.


    It''s no doubt that he''s looking for his own guilt when he confronts Zhou Tai.


    Zhou Tai attacks Liu Xiu with a knife, but finds that Deng Zhan quickly kills Zhang Zhen. Seeing that Zhang Zhen was in danger, Zhou Tai immediately abandoned Liu Xiu and resisted Deng Zhan with a knife.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu made a decisive move.


    Qingchen sword flashed in the air, hitting Zhou Tai''s left shoulder.


    With one blow, Liu Xiu retreated immediately.


    On the other hand, Deng Zhan also quickly retreated.


    Deng Zhan avoided Zhou Tai and said with a laugh, "Zhou Tai, we lied to you. We just want you to fall into the trap. Killing Zhang is just a cover. "


    Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan cooperated with each other so that Zhou Tai was injured again.


    In a moment, Zhou Tai even hit two swords.


    Zhang Zhen saw all this in his eyes. He knew that he had become a burden to Zhou Tai. As long as the other party attacks him, Zhou Tai will face a crisis. Because the fighting capacity of the two men on the other side is far more than that of ordinary soldiers.


    When the soldiers could not stop him, Zhang Zhen was always in danger, and Zhou Tai was always in the other side''s calculation. In the long run, not only his life could not be saved, but Zhou Tai would also die.


    "What to do?"


    Zhang Zhen looked at the soldiers who were fighting, and there was a look of anxiety in his eyes.


    Jiangdong soldiers have been killed and injured seriously. Among the soldiers under Liu Xiu''s command, rangers are extremely fierce. Under repeated attacks, they have suppressed Jiangdong soldiers. If it goes on like this, it will definitely lose.


    The situation is very disadvantageous.


    Zhang Zhen''s eyes narrowed slightly. He had a decision in his heart and reached out to hold the sword at his waist.


    "Sonorous!"


    With the sound of a dragon, Zhang Zhen''s sword came out of its sheath.


    Immediately, the sharp sword light flashed in the air, and a bloodstain suddenly appeared on Zhang''s neck.


    Zhang Xuan''s eyes were wide open, and his face was full of pain. After a moment, his eyes were dim. He stared at Zhou Tai and roared: "Zhou Tai, kill the enemy, revenge..."


    With a word, Zhang Zhen fell to the ground.


    In this scene, Zhou Tai was stunned. He forced Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan to withdraw, holding Zhang''s body and saying in a loud voice: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang..."


    However, Zhang has no voice.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes are also extremely shocked. He didn''t expect that Zhang Zhen was so strong that he committed suicide to protect Zhou Tai from being threatened.


    Such courage is shocking.

 Chapter 96

    Zhou Tai stood up, holding the golden knife in his hand, his eyes cold, and murmured to himself: "Liu Xiu, you killed Zhang Gong. Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan, you should die. "


    Full of anger, Zhou Tai''s heart accumulated.


    When he came to Xu county, Sun Quan told him that he would give Zhang''s safety to him.


    Zhou Tai confidently responded, saying that he would protect Zhang''s safety.


    Now, Zhang is willing to commit suicide in order not to drag him down and save his life. Such feelings make Zhou Tai feel remorse and guilt. On the edge of life and death, Zhang Zhen gave him the chance of life. How can Zhou Tai repay him?


    Zhou Tai was full of murderous spirit and ferocious face, just like a demon God.


    "Kill! Kill! Kill


    In Zhou Tai''s mind, there is only such an idea.


    "Kill me. If you don''t kill the enemy, you will never stop. Today, I am invincible! "


    "Revenge for Zhang Gong!"


    "Duke Zhang''s blood can''t be shed in vain. Kill him!"


    Zhou Tai roared. He was already red eyed and approached Liu Xiu step by step with a knife.


    "Zhou Tai, die!"


    A Ranger, carrying a steel knife, rushed to Zhou Tai first.


    Without blinking an eye, Zhou Tai swung the golden back sword in his hand and chopped it down.


    "Dang!"


    Weapon collision, Ranger son scream, steel knife directly inverted out. Then, the sharp sword light flashed in the air, the head of Ranger flew out with a puff, and his big body shook twice on the ground and fell to the ground.


    The blood splashed on Zhou Tai''s face.


    The bloodstain made Zhou Tai look like a crazy devil. He opened his eyes and roared, "Liu Xiu, take your life!"


    "Boom!"


    Zhou Tai approaches Liu Xiu and stomps on his feet. With the help of the impact force, his massive body flies out like a shell and rushes fiercely to Liu Xiu.


    In the narrow road, Liu Xiu was hard to avoid.


    Especially Zhou Tai''s knife locked Liu Xiu''s retreat, which made Liu Xiu unable to avoid.


    In the face of Zhou Tai, Liu Xiu''s eyes are dignified, but there is no fear. Even though his strength is not lower than Zhou Tai, he is not unable to kill Zhou Tai, nor is he without the power of the first World War.


    Liu Xiu took the green sword and bravely welcomed it.


    "One sword, two kills!"


    Cold as a green sword light, flashing in the air.


    The sharpness of the spirit is revealed.


    "Dang!"


    Two weapons, hit together.


    "Kick! Kick


    Zhou Tai even stepped back two steps, stabilized his body, and his arms were slightly numb. Just now the impact, he found that Liu Xiu''s strength, is not weak, eyes also have a touch of surprise.


    Liu Xiu holds the green sword in his hand, pedaling back and forth.


    "Hum! Hum


    Under the violent impact, Qingchen sword kept shaking.


    Liu Xiu by the impact of the power, green sword in the air dribble around, homeopathy split.


    The sharp sword light fell on a Jiangdong soldier.


    Click!


    Jiang Dongbing''s arm, starting from his shoulder, was cut off by Qingchen sword.


    The green sword in Liu Xiu''s hand danced in the air again and killed two Jiangdong soldiers before it stopped. Liu Xiu''s strength is weaker than Zhou Tai''s, so it is impossible to directly suppress the power from the sword. The only way is to unload the strength of the sword, so as to stabilize the sword.


    Zhou Tai''s eyes were sharp and he said coldly, "I didn''t expect that you still have some skills. But today, you will die. "


    "Kill


    At this time, Deng Zhan moved.


    Deng Zhan''s iron sword stabbed Zhou Tai in the back.


    Zhou Taijin turned his sword on his back and roared, "rat, I''ve been guarding against you for a long time."


    With a bang, the golden back broadsword hit Deng Zhan''s sword. Deng Zhan missed a blow and immediately stepped back to avoid Zhou Tai.


    In terms of power, Deng Zhan could not compete with Zhou Tai.


    If you give Deng Zhan favorable terrain and weather, it will be very easy to assassinate Zhou Tai. However, the battle front, Zhou Tai''s momentum alone, make Deng Zhan fear.


    Rao is a skillful swordsman of Deng Zhan. He is hard to use his swordsmanship when he meets a decisive general.


    "Liu Xiu, die."


    Zhou Tai turns to kill Liu Xiu. The blade in his hand becomes more fierce.


    On the battlefield, Zhou Tai is a fierce general, he met Liu Xiu, will not give up the advantage. In his hand, the golden back broadsword was constantly waving in the air. Under the continuous attack, Liu Xiu was also quite difficult to resist.


    Two fight, one attack, one resist.


    Deng Zhan didn''t kill Jiang Dongbing immediately. He kept killing Jiang Dongbing while waiting for the chance.


    All of a sudden, Deng Zhan''s eyes brightened and found that Zhou Tai''s back was open.


    "Kill


    With a low drink, Deng Zhan stabbed out his sword quietly and went straight to Zhou Tai''s back.Sharp sword light, in the air, no sound.


    As if he didn''t see it, Zhou Tai slashed the golden knife in his hand, forcing Liu Xiu to retreat. At the moment when the tip of the sword approaches his back, Zhou Tai suddenly turns around and the golden back sword cuts down.


    "Always on guard, always waiting for you."


    "Go to hell!"


    In Zhou Tai''s eyes, he was murderous.


    Deng Zhan was shocked by the powerful murderous spirit and the falling blade.


    The long sword in Deng Zhan''s hand continued to stab, which could stab Zhou Tai, but it could only hurt Zhou Tai, but could not kill Zhou Tai. However, if Zhou Tai''s knife fell, he would die, and his body would be cut in two.


    Without thinking about it, Deng Zhan withdrew his sword directly.


    The body is sideways to avoid the falling blade.


    At the moment when Deng Zhan dodged, Zhou Tai''s falling blade suddenly stopped, and the thick back of the blade swept along and photographed directly. This move came so fast that Deng Zhan could not avoid it.


    Deng Zhan''s eyes were startled, and the iron sword quickly met him, intending to resist.


    "Dang!"


    With a loud noise, the back of the sword slapped on the iron sword, and the iron sword fell.


    Boom!


    The back of the knife continued to fall, hitting Deng Zhan''s waist.


    "Chaka! Click


    The sound of broken ribs rang out one after another.


    Deng Zhan screamed, and his valiant body flew straight out. He fell to the ground and vomited blood. Under Zhou Tai''s attack, Deng Zhan not only suffered from broken ribs, but also internal organs.


    Deng Zhan, lying on the ground, has no strength to fight back.


    Soldiers around him immediately rushed up to protect Deng Zhan from being killed.


    Zhou Tai didn''t pursue him either. He turned to look at Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Xiu, it''s your turn. Kill you and I''ll kill Deng Zhan. You all die, you all die. "


    Golden back broadsword, the blade is aimed at Liu Xiu.


    At this time, Liu Xiu''s eyes, showing a cold color, said: "Zhou Tai, you are powerful. But look at your soldiers. How many are left? "


    Zhou Tai had fewer than six soldiers.


    More than half of the people under Liu Xiu''s command were killed and injured, leaving less than 15 people. However, the two sides are no longer equal, but Liu Xiu''s people have the upper hand.


    Zhou Tai snorted and said, "Liu Xiu, there are not many people under your command. As long as I kill you, I alone will be enough to kill all the people under your command. "


    Liu Xiu, holding a green sword in his hand, said, "if that''s the case, let''s have a try and see who kills whom."


    Without Deng Zhan''s help, Liu Xiu could only face it alone.


    Even if he was defeated, Liu Xiu had to fight.


    This war can only be won, not defeated. Failure is death. Liu Xiu tried his best to build up his current contacts and relationships. It was not easy for him to have the current foundation. He did not allow himself to fail.


    If you want to fight, fight!


    Even if he is seriously injured, he will kill Zhou Tai.


    Liu Xiu clenched the sword of Qingchen, hooked Zhou Tai''s hand and said, "come on, let me see how powerful the tiger generals in Jiangdong are." An inexplicable fearless momentum permeated Liu Xiu.


    This feeling, make Zhou Tai for one Zheng.


    In front of the people, the whole person''s spirit seems to have changed.


    However, Zhou Tai couldn''t manage so much. There was only one idea left in Zhou Tai''s mind. He killed Liu Xiu and avenged Zhang Zhen. Today, either Liu Xiu died or Zhou Tai died. He had to leave the valley alone.

 Chapter 97

    Zhou Tai was carrying a golden back broadsword and charging. His huge body became extremely nimble.


    This scene is appalling.


    Who can think of, a five big three thick of the wild man, body unexpectedly so dexterous.


    "The sword breaks the mountains and rivers!"


    Zhou Tai roared. The golden back broadsword passed through the air, and the sharp blade swept through the air. As if the knife fell, the air was split.


    "If you don''t die, how can I represent you to Zhang?"


    "If you don''t die, how can I tell the Lord?"


    "How can I be at ease if you don''t die?"


    "Today, you must die."


    Zhou Tai''s eyes were full of anger, and there were tears in his eyes. At the thought that Zhang was willing to commit suicide for him, Zhou Tai felt like a knife. He was determined to die. He would not stop killing Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu didn''t say a word, but his green sword slowed down.


    Blade, slowly out.


    It seems very slow, but in a flash, it is in front of the blade.


    "Ding!"


    At the moment when Qingchen sword touched the blade, the sound was very crisp, but there was no feeling of critical strike. A soft force was transmitted from Qingchen sword. In the light area, Zhou Tai''s blade deflected and fell to the ground involuntarily.


    Click!


    The blade fell to the ground like a bean curd.


    Take advantage of your strength!


    Liu Xiu made a sword and took advantage of Zhou Tai''s powerful power.


    "A sword, no me!"


    Liu Xiu''s sword suddenly changed from soft to strong. The point of the sword is on the blade. With a sound of Ding, it rebounds and stabs Zhou Tai.


    A sword makes the wind and thunder change color.


    The sharp point of the sword is shining with a cool light.


    In Zhou Tai''s eyes, it seemed that he could not see the existence of Liu Xiu, the existence of Qingchen sword, but only the edge of the sword.


    No self!


    Liu Xiu and Qingchen sword are like one.


    One sword!


    With the help of Qingchen sword, Liu Xiu broke out his strongest power. On his face, he looked unshakable, without sorrow or joy. He stabbed with a sword, as if this was the most suitable sword. This sword should be stabbed like this.


    Zhou Tai''s eyes were dignified, and the blade in his hand was pulled back quickly.


    Holding the handle of Jinbei broadsword in his right hand, he propped his left hand on the blade and pushed it out suddenly.


    "The blade breaks the mountain!"


    Boundless power, all gathered in the golden back broadsword body.


    "Dang!"


    The point of the sword and the blade hit suddenly.


    The bright and dazzling Mars splashed and burst out, and the body of Qingchen sword bent.


    "One sword, matchless!"


    Liu Xiu took advantage of the power of his sword. With the power of his sword, his sword shook in the air. His sharp sword turned into countless sword flowers. One after another, the sword flowers are dazzling.


    The sharp sword is breathtaking.


    "Kill


    Liu Xiu approaches Zhou Tai, and his intention to kill is boiling.


    Kill Zhou Tai!


    Liu Xiu''s mind, only this idea.


    Zhou Taijin lifted his sword on his back and stirred it in the air. The boundless blade surged, as if a gust of wind had been rolled up to wash away all the dust and smoke.


    "Dang! Dang! Dang


    Constant impact, constant collision, one after another.


    The dazzling light is dazzling.


    When Zhou Tai and Liu Xiu fight each other, they tend to be white hot, and the physical strength consumption of both sides is also increasing.


    Liu Xiu took the initiative to attack, while looking for opportunities.


    When he played Zhou Tai, he lacked strength and relied more on his strength. Take off the strength of the other side, and then take advantage of the situation to counterattack. But it''s not a long way to go.


    We have to fight back!


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, a bright light suddenly appeared.


    Opportunity!


    On Zhou Tai''s left shoulder, his speed slowed for a moment. Just for a moment, Liu Xiu knew his chance had come. In fact, the reason why Zhou Tai was so slow was that Liu Xiu''s Green Sword Pierced in and his body was tired, which made it difficult for him to deal with it quickly.


    The light of the sword shakes. Qingchen sword seizes the opportunity and suddenly hands it out.


    Poof!


    Zhou Tai''s face was ferocious and painful, but his face was smiling.


    The golden back broadsword was lifted up immediately.


    "Not good!"


    Liu Xiu was shocked.


    "It''s a trick. It''s Zhou Tai''s trick of exchanging injuries for lives."


    Liu Xiu didn''t even think about it and immediately withdrew his sword.


    Rao is so, sharp blade, already in the chest across.


    "Ho


    Knife light across Liu Xiu''s chest, clothes broken, chest, flesh and blood flying, leaving a foot long wound. Simply, Liu Xiu''s reaction speed was extremely fast, and his retreat speed was extremely fast.


    The blade cut into the meat three points, only skin injury, no injury to bones and muscles.The blood overflowed and dyed his chest red.


    Liu Xiu gasped, staring at Zhou Tai, exclaimed: "good stratagem, good stratagem, I thought it was your body can''t keep up with the pace, just revealed the flaw, didn''t expect you to take the initiative to leave a flaw."


    With a grin, Zhou Tai said, "you''re not bad either. This sword stabbed into my bones and hurt my muscles and bones. It''s a pity that your strength is poor. If you have more strength, your swordsmanship will be enough to suppress me. Ha ha ha, this is life, this is the life God gave you, let you die in my hands


    Liu Xiu sneered and said, "if you want to die, you will die, not me."


    Zhou Tai said: "you are seriously injured. Next, you will suffer more serious injuries. I will kill you."


    "Boom!"


    As soon as the blade turned, the broadsword crossed his chest, and Zhou Tai made a rapid sprint.


    Liu Xiu raised his sword and went up.


    Blade, sword, two people fight, weapons constantly impact.


    Under the continuous confrontation, Zhou Tai''s golden back broadsword left many notches, which were all caused by the impact of Qingchen sword.


    In Zhou Tai''s heart, he was also anxious.


    Continuous fighting, his abdomen, shoulders were injured by the sword, too much blood flow, leading to lack of blood.


    Combat effectiveness, began to decline.


    Liu Xiu is the same, both of them are looking for opportunities, ready to give each other a fatal blow.


    Zhou Tai just stares at Liu Xiu''s hand. In his eyes, Liu Xiu''s sword was dancing, but after he was scratched by the blade on his chest, Liu Xiu''s sword moves were no longer so flexible.


    All of a sudden, Zhou Tai catches the moment when Liu Xiu changes his moves.


    Cut it!


    "Dang!"


    Jinbei broadsword collides with Qingchen sword, and Qingchen sword is knocked out directly.


    Liu Xiu''s chest, there is an empty door.


    Zhou Tai was overjoyed in his eyes. The blade suddenly turned and the knife went straight forward. The tip of the knife is aimed at Liu Xiu''s chest. The sharp point of the knife is so sharp that it is hard to avoid.


    Liu Xiu moved like lightning, trying to avoid the knife, but he was still slow.


    "Poof!"


    The sharp point of the knife pierced Liu Xiu''s chest.


    "Ah


    The shrill cry came from Liu Xiu''s air.


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Zhou Tai laughed, his eyes full of pride.


    "Ah


    All of a sudden, Zhou Tai stopped laughing and screamed. He looked down and found a foot long dagger in his chest. The dagger pierced his heart.


    "You, you, how do you..."


    Zhou Tai holds the golden back broadsword and wants to exert himself, but the twitch of his heart makes him unable to lift the slightest force.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were cold, and said: "the reason why Qingchen sword was knocked away is that I threw it out, not that you hit it. I''ll bet that when you get close to me, the blade will thrust into my body and I''ll take it lightly, and then I''ll stab you to death. "


    "Kick! Kick


    Liu Xiu steel teeth bite, back two steps, the blade of the golden back broadsword, pull out from the body.


    Blood, like a spring splashing.


    The dagger in his hand, however, remained firmly in Zhou Tai''s chest.


    This dagger was made by Huang Yueying and left on Liu Xiu to defend himself. Liu Xiu and Zhou Tai fight, unable to win Zhou Tai, then save the mind to injury for life, let Zhou Tai relax vigilance, give a fatal blow.


    Zhou Tai''s eyes were wide open, and his eyes were gradually dim. He said, "I, I, I''m not reconciled, I don''t..."


    Words did not finish, burly body suddenly fell to the ground.

 Chapter 98

    Zhou Tai was killed, and the remaining Jiangdong soldiers resisted and were soon hanged. However, there are only six soldiers and Rangers left under Liu Xiu''s command.


    The war was a tragic one.


    Lying on the ground, Deng Zhan took out a small bottle from his clothes and said, "young master, I am a golden sore medicine. If you apply it on the wound quickly, it will stop bleeding and regenerate the skin. Your wound is too heavy, especially the knife on the chest. You must bandage it as soon as possible."


    After the soldiers took off Liu Xiu''s clothes, then sprinkled the medicine, and pulled off the cloth bandage.


    "Hiss! Hiss


    On Liu Xiu''s forehead was a cold sweat.


    The severe pain made Liu Xiu''s face even paler.


    Zhou Tai''s last move, the tip of the golden back broadsword pierced his chest. This knife, just deviated from the heart three inches, if left three inches, Liu Xiu will die.


    With the help of soldiers, Liu Xiucai managed to stand up.


    Liu Xiu looked at the situation around him and said, "count the battlefields and see if any of our people are alive. The rest of the Jiangdong soldiers will make up for it to avoid leaving a living."


    "No!"


    The soldiers were ordered to start counting the battlefield.


    Liu Xiu looked pale and looked at the two Rangers standing by.


    There are more than ten Rangers, only two left.


    Liu Xiu asked, "what''s your name, both of you?"


    One of them is of medium build, neither fat nor thin, with calm eyes. His body, covered with blood, obviously killed countless enemies. A long sword in my hand, blood is still flowing on the sword.


    The other was a big man with an axe in his hand. The blade of the axe was sharp and bloodstained. He had a fierce face and a rebellious look between his eyebrows. However, when he looked at Liu Xiu, he had respect in his eyes.


    Liu Xiu and Zhou Tai fought and were surrounded by dangers, which made them both admire each other.


    Medium sized man of humanity: "report back to you, young man named Qiu Bao, leopard''s leopard." Qiu Bao is a swordsman, very active in the area of Xu county.


    The man with the axe said, "I''ll tell you back. My name is Yue Shan." Yueshan is very brave with an axe. He is also famous in Xuxian county.


    Liu Xiu coughed two times, put his hand over the injured part of his heart, and waved: "from now on, you will follow Deng Zhan and follow me."


    "Thank you, young master!"


    Qiu Bao and Yue Shan''s eyes were full of joy.


    Liu Xiu said that, he has officially accepted them.


    It wasn''t long. The soldiers who cleaned the battlefield came back.


    The leading soldier saluted and said, "young master, all the soldiers have checked. None of our soldiers are alive. Two of Jiangdong soldiers feigned death and have been killed."


    Liu Xiu waved and said, "go, leave now."


    When they reached the entrance of gukou, Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan were seriously injured. Qiu Bao and Yue Shan carried Deng Zhan and Liu Xiu over the stones.


    Standing at the entrance of the valley, Liu Xiu said, "Qiu Bao and Yue Shan, go up the mountain and throw all the oil tanks piled up on the mountain into the valley to ignite the valley."


    "No!"


    They were ordered to go up the mountain immediately.


    When Liu Xiu chose to ambush in the valley, he had already considered it.


    Since we want to solve the problem thoroughly, we can''t leave future troubles.


    A fire, destroy the body, can cut off all clues.


    A quarter of an hour later, the fire in the valley began to burn, and the smoke was pouring into the sky. The fire rising from the sky is sending out a rolling heat wave.


    General and South Road to the west, we go to huihekou


    A group of people, quickly disappeared.


    ¡­¡­


    Jiyang County is where Deng AI lives.


    When Deng AI left Jiyang, his clothes were ragged and he stuttered even more. Once again, Deng AI''s stuttering was almost corrected. His speech and manner have changed dramatically.


    Along the way, while reading, Deng AI asked pound for advice.


    At first, Mr. pound just had nothing to do. He pointed out Deng AI''s lessons. After a short conversation, pound found that Deng AI had a keen eye and quick thinking. Moreover, Deng AI was very good at reading and was good at grasping the key points in the book, and had a very high understanding.


    In a short period of time, Mr. pound also likes to dial Deng AI, which can be regarded as passing the time.


    Deng AI finished all her doubts and put down her book.


    In my eyes, there is a light worry.


    Deng AI was sitting in a critical position and said, "Pang Gong, the young master and master have been away from the team for such a long time, and they haven''t come back yet. Will they encounter something?"


    Only Pang Degong and wenpin knew that Liu Xiu was going to ambush Zhang.


    The rest of us don''t know.


    There was a trace of worry in Pound''s eyes, but he covered it up well and said with a smile: "don''t worry, they will be OK. They will definitely come back before we get to XinyePang Degong was also aware of Zhou Tai''s bravery.


    When Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan went to kill, pound was worried.


    Deng AI let out a cry, but he was always worried. For Deng AI, when he was in danger, Liu Xiu came forward and solved his dilemma.


    He was just a mountain boy, but Liu Xiu asked him to study martial arts.


    This kind of great kindness is remembered by Deng AI.


    More importantly, Deng AI lost his father in his early years. He followed Liu Xiu and felt his father''s love in him. To Liu Xiu, he has not only the humble bow of a servant, but also the admiration of a child.


    "Da! Dada


    Suddenly, a horse''s hoof came from behind.


    A cavalry, quickly catching up.


    Wenpin heard the voice, ordered the team to stop, turned to see, a bright. Wenpin knew the soldiers behind him because they were his soldiers.


    The soldier ran up and reported: "general Qi, the young master is five li behind. Please wait for him. He will catch up soon."


    Wenpin nodded and waited quietly.


    The five mile road is not too far away.


    Time is not long, a carriage, and a few riding attendants, driving from.


    Wenpin saw the situation and his eyes were shocked. The 20 soldiers under his command are absolutely elite, but now only four of them are back. Wenpin can imagine how fierce the fighting is.


    Soon, Liu Xiu''s carriage stopped.


    Liu Xiu stepped down from the carriage. But he walked slowly, and his back was slightly bent. When he saw wenpin, he said, "general Zhongye, I''m back."


    Wen pin nodded slightly and waved: "stop moving forward, take a rest for a while."


    At this time, Wen pin was also curious about what kind of fighting had happened, and it turned out to be like this.


    When the team stopped, Pang Degong, wenpin and Liu Xiu sat together.


    The rest of the soldiers are far away.


    Pang Degong and Wen pin had a solemn look in their eyes.


    They saw that Liu Xiu was hurt, but with a smile on his face, they whispered about the ambush in the valley. As for the injury, I also mentioned it.


    After listening to this, Pang Degong and wenpin were filled with emotion.


    It''s not easy to kill Zhang Dan and Zhou Tai. Fortunately, they succeeded.


    Wen pin said with emotion: "that day, I said I would go with you, but you didn''t agree. If I go, although I''m not as good as Zhou Tai, I can at least cause some threats to Zhou Tai, so that I won''t be seriously injured. "


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "it''s OK. It''s almost recovered."


    Pound said justly: "the news of the destruction of the Jiangdong mission is certainly overwhelming. Cao Cao will definitely get the news. Even if Cao Cao can''t find out the situation in the valley, he can infer that we did it. Now, we need to leave as soon as possible and return to Xiangyang. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "what the teacher said is reasonable, but now we have arrived in Jiyang County. Tomorrow at the latest, we can go south to Xinye and enter Jingzhou''s sphere of influence."


    "Cough! Cough


    Liu Xiu covered his chest and coughed twice.


    Along the way, the wound on Liu Xiu''s body has scabbed, but the stabbed wound on his chest has not yet healed. Deng Zhan has basically recovered.


    Pound said anxiously: "Xiuer, when I return to Xiangyang, there are still many things to do. Now, you need to take good care of yourself. "


    Liu xiudao: "the teacher is at ease, the disciple understands."


    After resting for half an hour, they continued on their way.

 Chapter 99

    Xu county, Sikong Prefecture.


    A roll of bamboo slips is placed on Cao Cao''s desk.


    Cao Cao''s face was gloomy and cold.


    Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun you and other literary officials sit at the bottom.


    The contents of the bamboo slips were handed back by man Chong, the governor of Runan County. It recorded everything that happened in a valley in Runan County. However, when the army arrived, the valley had turned into ashes.


    In the documents, man Chong boldly predicted that Zhang Dan and Zhou Tai and others were killed.


    This result made Cao Cao look gloomy.


    Cao Cao ordered to postpone the date of Zhang and his party''s return to Jiangdong. He wanted to postpone the time. Now Zhang and his party are all dead, which is beyond Cao Cao''s expectation.


    If this matter is not handled properly, it will affect the relationship between Jiangdong and the imperial court.


    It even affected Cao Cao''s prestige and reputation.


    Cao Cao looked at all the people under his command and said in a deep voice: "gentlemen, although it is full of favorite inference that Zhang Zhen and his party were killed, so far no news has been sent back to prove that the people killed are sure of Zhang Zhen. What do you think of this?


    Xun Yu looked worried and said, "this is the end of the matter, and we can only face it. Lord, now we have to find a way to eliminate the influence. At the same time, it is necessary to appease Jiangdong, otherwise Jiangdong will cause trouble and disaster easily. "


    "Eliminate the influence, which is not so easy to eliminate."


    Cao Cao''s eyes are shining with cold light.


    Zhang Dan, a envoy of Jiangdong, died suddenly, which made Cao Cao very difficult.


    Inexplicably, Cao Cao thought of Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu and Pang Degong had left Xu county first, and even entered Jingzhou''s sphere of influence, so it was difficult to ask.


    Moreover, Zhang Dan and others died clean and without proof.


    Guo Jia turned her eyes and said slowly: "in fact, no matter how to deal with Zhang''s death, it can''t dispel Jiangdong''s hatred. After all, Zhang Zhen was Sun Quan''s important minister, and Zhou Tai was Sun Quan''s tiger general. In my opinion, the death of Zhang Dan and Zhou Tai can only be attributed to the mountain bandits. Then the LORD sent someone to appease Sun Quan. There is no other way


    Guo Jia sighed and said, "Sun Quan is dissatisfied in his heart, but Sun Quan does not dare to make trouble now."


    Xun you nodded and said, "the analysis of filial piety is reasonable, but Sun Quan always has a knot in his heart."


    Cao Cao said: "it doesn''t matter whether there are pimples or not. The imperial court and Jiangdong are antagonistic. "


    Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "this is a good way to plant the blame. In any case, the Lord will take the blame. "


    Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and said, "Wenruo, you draw up an imperial edict to let the emperor use the seal, and then send envoys to Jiangdong to appease Sun Quan. In any case, what should be expressed must be expressed. "


    "No!"


    Xun Yu nodded and recorded in his heart.


    Cao Cao said, "do you think Zhang Dan and his party were mountain bandits when they were killed?"


    "No way!"


    Cheng Yu said: "the soldiers around Zhang Zhen, as I have observed, are all valiant soldiers. Zhou Tai''s martial arts are even more extraordinary. I''m afraid that Xia Houdun is no match. Moreover, although there are bandits in Runan County, hundreds of them have already been wiped out by man Chong, and the rest are just a few bandits hiding in the mountains and forests


    Guo Jia said: "in terms of military strength, the number of thieves and bandits is not as large as that of Jiangdong mission; in terms of elite, the number of thieves and bandits is even less. This time, however, the ambush was a success. In particular, the ambush was carefully planned, and in the end, the corpses were destroyed. This force is extraordinary. "


    Xun you said, "Lord, I have a guess."


    "What guess?" Asked Cao Cao.


    Xun you said, "maybe Liu Xiu and his soldiers ambushed Zhang Dan."


    Xun Yu echoed: "this is also the possibility that I think of in my humble position."


    Jia Xu said: "I also agree with the humble position."


    Cheng Yu said, "I agree with you."


    All the people agreed that Liu Xiu was the most suspect.


    Cao Cao sighed and said, "I think Liu Xiu is the most suspect, but there is no evidence. Most importantly, they have withdrawn from Jingzhou. Liu Xiu''s move is really vicious. And it''s bold and careful. It''s not easy. "


    Cheng Yu''s eyes narrowed and worried: "Lord, I think it''s a big mistake that I didn''t kill Liu Xiu in Xu county. Just as he did not kill Liu Bei in the past, he became a disaster instead. "


    Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "it''s no use sighing. It''s no use explaining Zhang''s affairs because I can''t clear it even if I jump into the Yellow River. Even if Liu Xiu was planted again, Sun Quan would not believe it. That''s all. I''ll get it back later. "


    After a pause, Cao Cao said: "the North has been determined, and the war has been put down for the time being. Now, start to prepare for going south. Liu Xiu''s words are in my mind. He said that the northern army went to the South and did not accept the geographical environment of the south. This is correct. Therefore, what we need to do now is not only to train the Navy, but also to get used to the way of fighting in the south. "


    All the people have to write down their orders and then prepare for each other.¡­¡­


    Xiangyang, the gate of the city.


    Liu Biao, wearing Jinxian crown, black robe and long boots, stood at the gate of the city. Behind Liu Biao, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Yi Ji and other civil and military officials.


    Everyone stood at the gate to welcome the arrival of Lord pound.


    Liu Biao''s gesture is to show his manners as a corporal.


    Moreover, the news from Xu county also made Liu Biao happy.


    Liu Xiu made a big splash in Xu county. Liu Biao, a father, is also proud of you.


    Two reasons, Liu Biao will personally meet. Especially when Liu Xiu got the green sword, Liu Biao was even more happy. There is no doubt that Liu Biao is better than Cao Cao.


    The people were waiting in the sun.


    "Coming, coming back."


    Suddenly, some of the officials spoke loudly.


    Liu Biao was too old to see clearly. He turned his eyes to Cai Mao and asked, "military adviser, have you really come back?"


    Cai Mao nodded and said, "please tell me that Liu Xiu has really come back. General Zhongye walked in front, the carriage followed, and Pang Gong and xiugongzi came back perfectly. "


    Good, good


    Liu Biao looked excited.


    Only Cai Mao''s eyes showed disappointment.


    This time, Liu Xiu followed Pang Degong to Xu county to celebrate the emperor''s birthday. He hoped Liu Xiu would lose face. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu''s Wendou Cao''s Wenchen, Wudou Cao Cao''s son Caozhang, and the emperor''s birthday, presented tai''a sword.


    A series of things show Liu Xiu''s extraordinary ability.


    Liu Xiu''s fame is not only limited to Jingzhou, but also famous all over the world.


    Even though Cai Mao is so famous, it is not easy for him to deal with Liu Xiu rashly. Moreover, during this period, the Huang family in Jingzhou launched quyuanli, which is famous.


    The whole Jingzhou is talking about the Qu Yuan Li of the Huang family.


    Every thing, let Cai Mao upset.


    All in all, it''s not going well.


    After a short time, the carriage was getting closer and closer to the gate of the city, and Liu Biao finally saw who was coming.


    Less than ten feet away from Liu Biao, wenpin ordered the team to stop. He got off the horse and stood on his knees. Then the curtain of the carriage door rolled up, and Pang Degong and Liu Xiu stepped out of the carriage.


    Led by Pang Degong, Liu Xiu and wenpin followed, one left and one back, and walked slowly to Liu Biao.


    When he came to Liu Biao''s body, Pound''s face was serious. He arched his hand and said, "Mr. Zhou mu, pound has fulfilled his mission and returned from his mission to Xu county."


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "my son, Liu Xiu, meet my father."


    Wenpin said: "at the end of wenpin, I''d like to meet the Lord."


    When the three saluted, Liu Biao quickly picked them up and said with a smile, "Pang Gong, general Zhongye, it''s been a hard journey. My official set up a banquet in the prefecture to wash the dust for the two of you. Go and follow me into the city. "


    Pang Degong and wenpin expressed their thanks and went to the city.

 Chapter 100

    Go back to the prefecture and have a banquet immediately.


    Liu Biao first thanks Pang Degong for his mission to Xu county, and then inquires about what happened in Xu county. Although some news came back, it was not as true as that of Pound himself.


    With a smile on his face, pound told his story in Xu county.


    In particular, Liu Xiu''s civil servants under the command of Cao Cao talked about Liu Xiu''s fighting against all the people, and Pang Degong was in high spirits; he also talked about Liu Xiu''s outstanding archery, which was also exciting to beat Cao Zhang and Dian man; and Liu Xiu offered tai''a sword to garrison the emperor, and was appointed the garrison of Yuzhang Prefecture.


    The civil and military officials in the hall cheered one after another.


    Wen pin, as an accompanying general, said nothing. Wen pin kept the attack on Zhang Dan and Zhou Tai in his mind and did not disclose it. Even the four soldiers who returned with Liu Xiu were directly assigned by Wen pin to Liu Xiu as his personal guards.


    In wenpin''s opinion, it should have never happened.


    What Jingzhou Wenwu knows is only what happened in Xu county.


    When Pang said that, Liu Biao looked even more gratified.


    At this time, he looked at Liu Xiu and said with a smile, "Xiuer, I''ve grown up a lot in Xu county. His behavior in Xuchang is also quite good. "


    Liu Xiu got up, arched his hand and said, "tell my father that in Xu county, there is a teacher in charge of the overall situation, and general Wen escorts me. Comparatively speaking, my son is more willful."


    Liu Biao laughed and waved to Liu Xiu to sit down.


    At this time, Cai Mao suddenly opened his mouth.


    Cai Mao stares at Liu Xiu and asks: "it''s really good for young master Xiu to present tai''a sword for the emperor''s birthday. But why didn''t xiugongzi offer tai''a sword in the name of the Lord, in the name of an individual? "


    Liu Biao''s eyes flashed a cold light.


    He clenched the bottle in his hand, turned his eyes and stared at Liu Xiu with a smile.


    The look in his eyes made Liu Xiu feel cold.


    With a smile in his mouth, pound looked at Cai Mao with a trace of contempt in his eyes.


    This issue has been discussed for a long time.


    Cai Mao now put forward that he was getting into Liu Xiu''s sleeve.


    Liu Xiumian with a smile, looked at Cai Mao, and explained: "the military adviser asked me to present tai''a sword in the name of my father, is it to trap my father in the situation of infidelity?"


    Liu Biao raised his eyebrows and took another look at Cai Mao.


    Cai Mao said: "I don''t understand what you said. Why infidelity? "


    Liu Xiu replied, "I got tai''a Jian by accident after I arrived in Xu county. It is my personal act to offer tai''a sword in my name. I''m a man of few words. If I give up tai''a sword, no one will investigate its origin and development. "


    "However, if you present the tai''a sword in the name of your father, officials of the imperial court or Cao Cao will think that it was owned by your father before, because it is a birthday gift for the emperor. Jingzhou must have owned it long ago, but only now."


    "Even if I say I found it by accident, who would believe it?"


    "Tai''a sword, the sword of the first emperor, is the sword of the great Qin emperor, but this sword, in a sense, can be said to be the most important weapon of the country and has a certain symbolic significance."


    "It''s not the emperor''s sword, but it''s better than the emperor''s sword."


    Liu Xiu talked about it and said, "it''s not unfaithful to have the emperor''s sword but not to offer it to the emperor. What is it? It is well known that father is loyal to the emperor. When the news of hiding tai''a sword came out, it must have been said that my father had hidden his selfish heart and had no intention. "


    "When the time comes, my father will be like a thief, and everyone will fight."


    Liu Xiu said: "my father is pure and bright all his life. How can I influence his father''s prestige because of me. Cai Junshi, if you offer tai''a sword in the name of your father, will it affect his father''s reputation? "


    Cai Mao wanted to deny it. He could see Liu Biao''s satisfied look and sighed.


    Liu Xiu''s untenable reason moved Liu Biao.


    Cai Mao arched his hand and said, "young master Xiu is right. I''m worried about it."


    Pang Degong took the message and said, "master Zhou mu, after the emperor got tai''a sword, he was granted the title of Prince Xiu to be the prefect of Yuzhang county. This matter needs to be arranged by master Zhou mu."


    Liu Biao was silent after listening.


    Under the rule of Sun Quan, Yuzhang County appointed Liu Xiu as the prefect of Yuzhang county.


    However, they have no strength to enter.


    Cai Mao laughed and said: "the emperor appointed xiugongzi to be the prefect of Yuzhang county. I think we can have a try. If xiugongzi goes to Yuzhang county and the other party is willing to hand over his rights, that''s the best. "


    Cai Mao wanted Liu Xiu to die in Yuzhang county to avoid fighting with Liu Cong again.


    "Not my Lord!"


    At this time, Kuai Yue stopped.


    Liu Biao asked: "why can''t we say different degrees?"


    Kuai Yue explained: "Yuzhang county is still in the hands of Sun Quan in Jiangdong. If young master Xiu goes there, he won''t get any benefits. He may be kicked out. "


    "Xiugongzi''s status as the prefect of Yuzhang county is a great righteousness, which can''t be used easily. At least, we must be able to capture Yuzhang county at one stroke, and then let xiugongzi enter Yuzhang County rightfully. "Kuai Yue said: "once you enter rashly, you will not get any benefit if you touch the ash on your nose. This will also have a certain impact on the reputation of the Lord."


    Liu Biao nodded slightly and agreed with Kuai Yue''s analysis.


    Liu xiudao: "father, son has an idea."


    "Say it


    Liu Biao nodded with a smile on his face.


    Liu Xiu respectfully said: "this time he was appointed as the prefect of Yuzhang county. His son thought it was an opportunity to seize Yuzhang county. On the one hand, you county is close to Yuzhang county and is close to Yuzhang County, so you can make plans; on the other hand, my son hopes to have some experience. "


    Liu Biao''s eyes narrowed slightly and said, "do you really want to seek Yuzhang county?"


    "Yes Liu Xiu nodded and answered.


    Pang Degong took a look at Liu Xiu and stopped him: "Mr. Zhou mu, I don''t think it''s appropriate for Xiuer to be an official."


    "Why?" Liu Biao asked.


    "On the one hand, Xiuer is still young and hasn''t been crowned; on the other hand, Xiuer has no experience of being in charge of politics, so it''s not appropriate to act as a magistrate rashly," said pound


    This scene shocked people.


    How come these two masters and disciples are beginning to fight against each other.


    Did Liu Xiu not tell Mr. pound in advance, so Mr. pound stopped him?


    Kuai Yue''s eyes narrowed, with a look of meditation in them.


    Cai Mao took a look at Liu Xiu and Pang Degong. He sneered in his heart. He was just singing a double reed. However, no matter what the aims of Pang Degong and Liu Xiu were, Cai Mao had to stop Pang Degong and let Liu Xiu go outside.


    As long as Liu Xiu left Xiangyang, Liu Cong had more opportunities. Moreover, the situation of the ruling party is different. The forces below are intertwined, and it is not easy for Liu Xiu to gain a foothold.


    It''s not easy for Liu Xiu to come back after he goes down.


    Cai Mao arched his hand and said, "my Lord, I think it is feasible for xiugongzi to act as magistrate. Young master Xiu, if he goes to experience, his ability will be improved. If you want to seize Yuzhang County, you can let him have a try. If you succeed, it''s the best. Even if you don''t succeed, it''s harmless. "


    Kuai Yue echoed: "my Lord, I think Cai Junshi''s suggestion is reasonable. If you are willing to give it a try, let him give it a try. "


    When he spoke, he looked at Liu Xiu intentionally or unintentionally.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu understood it in his heart.


    Kuai Yue opened his mouth to help him open up and see through his mind.


    When Liu Biao saw the two important officials around him, he suggested that Liu Xiu should be released. Liu Biao no longer insisted, saying, "Pang Gong, I understand how you love your disciples. But Xiuer always wants to go out and make a living. Let him go. "


    Pang Degong was silent for a moment, and said: "Mr. Zhou mu, if Xiuer wants to be the magistrate of you County, I have only one request."


    "What request?" Liu Biao asked.


    Pang said: "it''s very difficult to get Yuzhang County just as a county magistrate. It''s better to give Xiuer an official post of inspector of Changsha County. In this way, he can quickly gain a foothold in you County, and then seize Yuzhang county. "


    Cai Mao said: "not my Lord. The post of postal supervisor is very important."


    When it comes to the post of postal inspector, Cai Mao must stop it.


    Liu Xiu''s power is too big to deal with, and the people below will be restrained.


    Kuai Yue objected: "Lord, it''s reasonable for xiugongzi to take over Yuzhang county and take the post of inspector of Changsha County. Since you want to let young master Xiu have a try, I think you can just let it go. "


    Liu xiudao: "father, my son really wants to have a try. If it''s successful, Jingzhou will add another county. At that time, in the face of Cao thieves, the inside information will be added another point. "


    After listening to Liu Biao, he had an idea in his heart.


    One more County, of course, is different.


    Liu Biao nodded. He looked at Yi Ji and said, "Ji Bo, you have drawn up an imperial edict to appoint Xiu''er to be the governor of Changsha County and the magistrate of you county."


    "No!"


    Yi Ji nodded and looked at Liu Xiu with different eyes.


    Liu Xiu had military power in his hands. Although he was born as a commoner, the pattern was different.

 Chapter 101

    Caifu, backyard.


    Cai Mao, Cai Shi and Liu Cong are sitting in the pavilion.


    Liu Cong''s eyes were sharp and said in a cold voice: "uncle, Liu Xiu has made a great reputation in Xu county. This time back to Xiangyang, I''m afraid there will be big moves. I''m afraid it''s hard to deal with Liu Xiu if he doesn''t


    Up to now, Liu Cong doesn''t know how to take Liu Xiu.


    In terms of means, Liu Xiu is better than him.


    In terms of fame, Liu Xiu is higher than him.


    In terms of contacts, Liu Xiu is far ahead of him.


    Liu Cong is better than Liu Xiu, only his family background is left. However, Liu Cong was unable to handle Liu Xiu, which made Liu Cong feel very uncomfortable.


    Cai Mao said: "today, the Lord held a banquet to help Pound himself. At the banquet, he decided where Liu Xiu would go next. Liu Xiu will be the magistrate of you county and the postmaster of Changsha County. Liu Xiu is about to leave Xiangyang for you county. "


    Liu Cong felt happy in his eyes when he heard the speech and said, "Liu Xiu is leaving Xiangyang. Ha ha, this is a good thing. If he is not in Xiangyang, there will be no threat. It''s easy for me to deal with him after I inherit Jingzhou. "


    Cai Mao said: "Liu Xiu''s departure has both advantages and disadvantages."


    Liu Cong was in a good mood again, with a smile on his face and said, "please give me some advice!"


    Cai Mao said: "the benefits of Liu Xiu''s departure are obvious. Liu Xiu is not in Xiangyang. Only Mr. Qi is left. It''s easy for you to win the trust of Zhou mu. It''s easy for you to do it to Mr. Fu Qi. The disadvantage of leaving is that when Liu Xiu goes to you County, once he comes to power, he may form a situation where he can''t get rid of the situation and is difficult to control. "


    Liu Cong big sleeve a brush, confident way: "I don''t believe, Liu Xiu dare to rebel."


    Cai''s eyes were very sharp, but he said: "De Li, after Liu Xiu went to you County, we can look for opportunities to deal with him. It''s normal for Liu Xiu to have problems in you County, or to be constrained everywhere. "


    Cai Mao said: "what my sister said is that to deal with Liu Xiu, we can only start from this aspect."


    Chua said with a smile, "so you have a plan."


    Liu Cong was even more overjoyed and said, "uncle, please give me your advice."


    Cai Mao replied: "in you County, there is an army under the command of Liu Pan. I have a good relationship with Liu Pan. I will write a letter to Liu Pan and ask him to restrain Liu Xiu, and then order the officials of you county to overhead Liu Xiu. "


    "Good!"


    There was a smile in Liu Cong''s eyes.


    Cai said, "if Cong''er can inherit Jingzhou, you are the greatest hero."


    Liu Cong said, "my mother is right. I depend on my uncle."


    Cai Mao laughed and said, "don''t worry. I''ll deal with Liu Xiu''s affairs. What Cong''er has to do is to study hard and win the trust of his master. "


    Liu Cong nodded, clenched his fist, and his heart was full of fighting spirit.


    ¡­¡­


    Kuai family, study.


    Two brothers, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, sit opposite each other.


    When Kuai Yue came back home, Kuai Liang said with a smile, "your move is right."


    Kuai Yue said: "when Liu Xiu went to Xu county, he was able to fish into the sea and showed his extraordinary ability. His response in Xu county, if it were me, I would not be as good as him. "


    Kuai Liang showed his appreciation in his eyes and said: "Liu Xiu''s work is not simple. After earning his reputation, he began to seize power. In particular, he is now appointed by the imperial court as the prefect of Yuzhang County, which is an opportunity for him to be an official


    "To be the magistrate of you county is to be a tiger."


    "Since then, it''s hard to clamp him down."


    In Kuai Liang''s eyes, a touch of irony appeared, saying: "ridiculous Cai Mao, shortsighted. He learned that Liu Xiu asked himself to be the magistrate of you County, and he also took the initiative to help Liu Xiu release himself. He thought that Liu Xiu''s threat to Liu Cong was reduced after he left Xiangyang. "


    "I don''t know, it''s going back to the woods."


    , "the successor of Jingzhou pasture, though Liu Biao has the final say, he really depends on his strength. Once Liu Xiu gains power in you County, even if he is Liu Biao, he may not be able to command Liu Xiu. "


    "Besides, Liu Biao is indecisive and greedy. If he wanted to seize Yuzhang County, he had to rely on Liu Xiu. As long as Liu Xiu doesn''t take Yuzhang County down for one day, Liu Biao won''t target Liu Xiu for another day. "


    "In this way, it gives Liu Xiu an opportunity to enhance his strength."


    Kuai Liang said: "the most important point is that Liu Pan''s troops are stationed in you county. Once Liu Xiu gets Liu Pan''s support, he will be even more extraordinary. In addition, the geographical location of you county is also quite important. Liu Xiu''s move is exquisite. "


    Kuai Yue nodded slightly and said, "I''m afraid it''s the layout of Lord pound. And today, at the banquet, he and Liu Xiu sang together. Liu Xiu asked to go, but Pang Degong objected. "


    Kuai Liang said with a smile, "You county will be released as an official and get out of the prison. Maybe there is a suggestion from Pang Degong, but Liu Xiu must have the idea of being released."


    Kuai Yue said: "I can only say that this son is extraordinary."


    Kuai Liang said: "originally, I always thought that Liu Xiu might rewrite the pattern of Jingzhou. After this trip to Xu county. He went step by step, which made me think that the pattern of Jingzhou must change because of Liu Xiu. Liu Qi and Liu Cong are not Liu Xiu''s rivals. The Cai family will also be affected by Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu will never forget about the assassination. "Kuai Yue laughed and said, "brother, the Kuai family also has some strength in Changsha County. This time Liu Xiu went to see if he could help properly. "


    Kuai Liang flatly said: "it''s better to send charcoal in the snow than to add icing on the cake. When Liu Xiu goes to you County, he can use his family''s strength to help. Now that you have chosen someone, there is no need to hesitate. "


    Kuai Yue said: "when Liu Xiu went to you County, Cai Mao might have targeted Liu Xiu. The Kuai family and the Cai family had a formal confrontation. "


    Kuai Liang said, "is the Kuai family afraid of the Cai family?"


    Kuai Yue nodded and said, "brother, I understand."


    With a smile, Kuai Liang said: "in different degrees, what kind of situation the Kuai family can go to depends on your decision. It''s all in your hands. "


    Kuai Yue nodded solemnly, and his heart was full of expectation.


    ¡­¡­


    Jiangdong, Wuxian.


    Prefect''s mansion, in the hall.


    Sun Quan sat on the top of the table with a serious face.


    Below, Zhang Zhao, Zhu Gejin, Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other civil and military officials all have dignified faces.


    When the news came back that Zhang Dan and Zhou Tai had been killed, Sun Quan was stunned. There are two Zhang in Jiangdong. Zhang Zhao has a strong character, and Sun Quan is very awed. Zhang has a soft personality. Sun Quan respects Zhang very much and prefers to get along with him.


    In addition, Zhou Tai was Sun Quan''s personal guard.


    Now that both of them are dead, Sun Quan''s mood can be imagined.


    Sun Quan was angry in his eyes and waved: "thief Cao deceives people too much. If I don''t give him an explanation, I will never stop. It was his imperial edict to celebrate the emperor''s birthday, but it led to the killing of Duke Zhang and Youping. "


    He stood up, looked at Zhou Yu and said, "governor of Dadu, mobilize the army, Chen Bing, Yangzhou border, I want to seek justice for Duke Zhang and Youping."


    "Not my Lord!"


    Seeing this, Zhang Zhao quickly stood up to stop.


    "Mr. Tengzi, you want to kill me?" he asked


    Zhang Zhao said: "even if my Lord wants to kill me, I have to stop him. In today''s Jiangdong, there are mountains inside and Jingzhou outside. Once the thief Cao is angered, the consequences will be unimaginable. "


    Sun Quan''s face was stunned, and he was defeated.


    However, he was still unwilling. He looked at Zhou Yu and said, "governor, what do you think?"


    Zhou Yu said, "it''s not too late for a gentleman to take revenge ten years ago, and it''s not too late for him to take revenge today. When the mountain calms down and Jingzhou is taken down, the Lord can go north to fight with the Cao bandits, and he will have a revenge today. "


    Sun Quan heard the speech and sat down.


    As he sat down, Sun Quan''s eyes were moist. He pressed the desk with both hands and said, "it''s a pity that Zhang Gong and you Ping are the right and left arms of our official. Now they don''t even have bones. I hate them." That expression made the civil and military officials in the lobby feel heavy, and everyone comforted Sun Quan one after another.


    "Sonorous!"


    Sun Quan pulled out his sword and cracked a corner of the table.


    The sword in his hand pointed to the sky and said with a loud voice: "thief Cao and I will never stop. Today''s hatred must be recovered. "


    When people heard the words, they were comforted again.


    Sun Quan put away his painful expression and said, "I''m going to bury the coffin for Duke Zhang and Youping."


    "No!"


    Zhang Zhao agreed, relieved.


    As long as Sun Quan doesn''t act impulsively, everything will be easy to say. Now Jiangdong can''t stand the ups and downs.

 Chapter 102

    Pound''s return enlivens the desolate lumen mountain.


    Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan and others all went to lumen mountain. Only Liu Xiu, quietly went down the mountain, took Huang Yueying out of the Huang family, and found a remote place to talk about the pain of Acacia.


    This time I went to Xu county, but I didn''t see Huang Yueying for more than a month. In Liu Xiu''s heart, I miss her very much.


    It can be seen that after arriving at Huang Yueying, he didn''t know what to say, so he took Huang Yueying''s hand and walked aimlessly on the country path.


    While walking, while chatting.


    "Mr. Pang, please go up the mountain."


    Suddenly, a clear voice came from behind.


    Deng AI was walking like a flying horse and soon came to Liu Xiu''s back. He looked at Huang Yueying and said with a smile, "Xiao AI has seen your wife."


    Huang Yueying made a big red face and glared at Deng AI.


    But Deng AI didn''t care. He looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Pang, please go up the mountain."


    "Well, I''ll be right there."


    Liu Xiu nodded and waved.


    Deng AI saluted again, then ran away. Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying stay together. Naturally, he won''t stay to disturb them.


    Liu xiudao: "Yueying, the teacher has something to look for. I''ll go up the mountain first. You can go up the mountain slowly."


    Huang Yueying made a sound and watched Liu Xiu leave.


    After going up the mountain, Liu Xiu went straight to his study.


    Came to the study, Liu Xiu knocked on the door, said: "teacher, it''s me."


    "Come in!"


    Pound''s voice rang out immediately.


    Liu xiutui opened the door and went in, only to find Pang Degong, Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan sitting in the study. Liu Xiu saluted one by one, and then asked, "what can I do for the teacher?"


    Pound said justly, "sit down and say it!"


    Liu Xiu sat cross legged, waiting for pound to speak.


    Pound said: "your father has agreed to let you be the magistrate of you county. Once the Iraqis draw up the Edict and send the letter of appointment, you should go to you county to take up the post. When you go to you county this time, have you figured out how to set up your own team? "


    Liu xiudao: "I haven''t thought about it yet."


    Pound is just: "those who don''t plan for a lifetime can''t plan for a while. Now, it''s time to be prepared."


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he knew that Pang Degong must have discussed the matter with Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan. He said with a straight face, "please give me some advice."


    "As for generals, we three old guys can''t give you any advice," said pound. But the counselors and aides around you can give you some advice. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and listened quietly.


    Pound said: "ZHUGE Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Meng Jian and others are all outstanding talents, at least the talents of the prefect. However, Shi Tao and Meng Jian tended to Cao Cao in the north. Only Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Xu Shu were hostile to Cao Cao. You can choose among the three of them, and it''s up to you to convince them. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and wrote down: "the teacher''s instruction must be remembered by the disciples."


    Huang Chengyan said: "in you County of Changsha, Huang family also has some industries, especially the promotion of quyuanli, which makes Huang family shops take root all over Jingzhou. If you need help, you can contact Huang family shops in you county."


    Liu xiudao: "thank you, Mr. Chengyan."


    Sima Hui said: "boy, I can''t help you. But remember that you should ensure your safety at all times after you go to Youxian. As long as people are still there, everything is possible. "


    Liu Xiu gave thanks again and was deeply moved.


    Although Pang Degong, Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan were not his blood relatives, they really cared about his elders. The three asked Liu Xiu to leave one by one after the other.


    Out of the study, Liu Xiu went straight to the courtyard where pangtong lived.


    In the courtyard, Pang Tong is drinking tea.


    Seeing Liu Xiu''s coming, Pang Tong said with a smile: "Oh, Mr. Liu''s coming really makes my house shine. When Mr. Liu went to Xu county, he felt that he was more energetic, more energetic, and more vigorous. Every word, every action, and every move is overbearing. "


    Liu Xiu sat down in front of Pang Tong and said with a smile, "I''m so domineering. Should you admire me?"


    Pang Tong turned his lips and said, "I drank too much tea just now. Now it''s full of water in my stomach. I can''t bend down and admire you. So it''s better to sit


    Liu Xiu poured a cup of tea and tasted it, but it was bitter.


    "Is this your tea?"


    Liu Xiu looked disgusted and completely speechless. Unexpectedly, Pang Tong had this hobby and drank bitter tea.


    Pang Tong despised: "this is called to eat bitterness in bitterness, to be a superior."


    Liu Xiu sneered and said, "since you are willing to bear hardships and have the ability, don''t go to Lianxiang house to drink for a month, or don''t drink for a month. I will believe that you can really bear hardships. "Pang Tong said, "there is no conflict between suffering and drinking. Mr. Liu, you are wrong."


    With these words, Pang Tong looked solemn and asked, "are you here to invite me and you to Youxian?" It has been announced that Liu Xiu was appointed magistrate of you County, and Pang Tong also got the news.


    "That''s exactly what it is," Liu said


    Pang Tong asked with a smile, "what if I don''t go?"


    Liu xiudao: "feet are on you. If you don''t go, I can''t help it. Well, you can''t help watching me go to Youxian alone to die. "


    Pang Tong said, "it''s like you county is a dragon''s den and tiger''s den."


    Liu xiudao: "in fact, it''s the dragon''s den and tiger''s den."


    Pang Tong said slowly, "when you wrote a poem in lumen mountain, I owe you a condition. Later, you saved my life, and I owe you a life. You said that the front is the dragon''s den, how can I sit back and ignore it. Well, I''m determined by you. I''ll go with you. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "I know Shiyuan won''t die without help."


    Pang Tong said, "I went to you county to make a career. You look like you''re going to die. "


    Liu xiudao said: "it''s true to be a rambling career, but there are many thorns ahead."


    "No, don''t be modest. I don''t understand your means? You''re the only one who''s going to pit people. No one else''s going to pit you. " Pang Tong sneered twice and said, "look at me, I''m just trapped by you."


    Liu Xiu said, "you didn''t want to jump into the pit."


    Pang Tong turned his lips and asked, "are you going to invite Kong Ming?"


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "try it."


    Pang Tong sighed: "you go to invite Kong Ming, and you have to be prepared for failure. On the one hand, he doesn''t want to join me. After all, you county is too small to accommodate the real dragon Kong Ming. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "I understand, but I have to have a try."


    Pang Tong said, "do you want to invite Xu Shu?"


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Yuanzhi is proficient in culture and martial arts. He is a talented person, so he should have a try."


    Pang Tong said: "compared with Kong Ming, Yuanzhi is not so arrogant, but it is not easy to ask Yuanzhi to help. You need to grasp this by yourself. But there are still opportunities. "


    Liu Xiu waved and said, "I know what to do. After these two days, let''s go to lianxianglou to have a drink. For a long time, I haven''t drunk lianxianglou''s wine. "


    Pang Tong waved his hand and said, "let me know when you start."


    Liu Xiu nodded and left.


    Pang Tong was sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea, and his eyes didn''t look funny and angry. The reason for going to you county with Liu Xiu is not that Liu Xiu saved him, but that Liu Xiu''s ability moved Pang Tong. This is Pang Tong''s bet that Liu Xiu can take advantage of the situation.

 Chapter 103

    Longzhong in August is picturesque.


    Liu Xiu took Deng AI to Longzhong by carriage. The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain. Liu Xiu and Deng AI went to the place where Zhuge Liang lived.


    They left for about a quarter of an hour and came outside the house.


    Deng AI went up and knocked on the door. Not long after, a boy opened the door, looked out at Deng AI and Liu Xiu curiously and asked, "who are you? What''s the matter?"


    Deng AI bowed his hands and said, "my son Liu Xiu, a classmate of Mr. Zhuge, has come to visit Mr. Zhuge today."


    The boy was surprised to see Liu Xiu standing outside the door.


    Is Liu Xiu the young man in front of you?


    It seems that it is not the burly and tall in the legend, but the thin and elegant.


    The boy shook his head and said, "Mr. Xiu, my husband and friends have gone to the mountain together. It may be three or five days, or ten and a half days. I don''t know when I will come back. If you have something to do, you can tell me. I''ll tell you when my husband comes back. "


    Hearing the speech, Deng AI turned and looked at Liu Xiu, waiting for Liu Xiu''s reply.


    Liu xiudao: "it''s no big deal. Since brother Kongming is not at home, I''ll come back next time."


    "Ai, let''s go."


    Liu Xiu waved and Deng AI said goodbye to the boy.


    As they walked down the mountain, Deng AI said, "young master, Mr. Zhuge is not here. We can only come again next time."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "I have understood Zhuge Liang''s mind. It''s better not to see each other. Perhaps, this is the best way to refuse. He doesn''t have to be embarrassed, and I don''t have to be embarrassed. "


    Deng AI seemed to understand, with doubts on his face.


    Liu Xiu patted Deng AI on the shoulder and said, "let''s go down the mountain and go to Xu Shu''s residence."


    ¡­¡­


    In the mountains, the maple forest sways and the shadow of the trees whirls.


    In an open and flat place, Zhuge Liang, Shi Tao and Meng Jian were sitting under a tree, playing chess.


    At this time, Zhuge Liang played chess with Shi Tao.


    As he settled down, Shi Tao said, "Kong Ming, Liu Xiu has been appointed as the prefect of Yuzhang Prefecture by the emperor. Although he is temporarily in an empty position, he has great potential. You and Liu Xiu are classmates. He will come to you and invite you. But why do you want to avoid it? "


    Zhuge Liang chuckled and said: "the way is different, do not conspire."


    Meng Jian stroked his beard and said, "is it possible that Kong Ming plans to go north with us?"


    Zhuge Liang shook his head, twisted up a black spot and fell down. He solemnly said, "I''m determined to fight against the thief Cao. It''s impossible to go to the north to help the thief Cao."


    With curiosity in his eyes, Shi Tao asked, "or are you going to Jiangdong?"


    Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Jiangdong is not suitable."


    Meng Jian and Shi Tao looked at each other, but they couldn''t understand each other. They said, "Cao Cao is not suitable, Liu Xiu is not suitable, and Sun Quan of Jiangdong is not suitable. You look down on Liu Biao. In that case, how are you going to choose? "


    Zhuge Liang shrugged his shoulders and said, "if there is no choice for the time being, it''s better not to choose. Isn''t it good to work hard in Longzhong?"


    Shi Tao said, "I can''t understand you, Kong Ming."


    Zhuge Liang lost another son and said, "you lost."


    Looking at the situation on the chessboard, Shi Tao sighed and said, "I lost this game."


    After a pause, Shi Tao said: "Kong Ming, you can learn martial arts and sell them to people who know goods. You have a great ambition to calm the world. Why not choose? Whether it''s Cao Cao, Sun Quan or Liu Xiu, it''s not bad. "


    Ge Liang''s body became solemn. He looked at Shi Tao and Meng Jian and said, "the Lord I want to choose must meet my standards."


    "What standard?"


    Shi Tao and Meng Jian asked in unison.


    Both of them were very curious about what kind of people would meet Zhuge Liang''s standards.


    Cao Cao''s unification of the North was powerful enough, which did not meet Zhuge Liang''s standards.


    Sun Quan, a young man, dominates the east of the Yangtze River. He is young and promising, and does not meet Zhuge Liang''s standards.


    Liu Xiu''s literary talent, martial arts and resourcefulness were outstanding, which still did not meet the standards of Zhuge.


    In the end, what talent line?


    Zhuge Liang said: "the Wise Lord I choose must trust me and put me in more importance. Even, I''m the only one he''s planning. I need enough space to implement my governance policy. "


    "Cao Cao is as cunning as a fox, and he is more adept at fighting. His own ability is excellent. Under his command, there are many talented people. If I were loyal to Cao Cao, I would not be able to stand out, nor would I have a chance in a short time. "


    "Sun Quan is a good choice. He is a good servant and can be called a wise master. However, under Sun Quan''s command, Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu were both important ministers of sun CE. I went to Jiangdong, and it''s hard to be reused. "


    "Liu Xiu has great potential, but he is not only good at strategy, but also good at martial arts. He has a strong sense of his own. After I went. In case of disagreement, whose opinion is the main one? If it comes to different political ideas, whose idea is the main one? "Zhuge Liang said: "compared with Cao Cao and Sun Quan, Liu Xiu didn''t give me much space. What I need is a person who can entrust me with military and political affairs and let me do my best without any hindrance. "


    After a pause, Zhuge Liang said: "Liu Xiu has his own ideas, it is bound to be impossible to follow my ideas. If so, why see you again? Seeing each other is better than not seeing each other. On the contrary, we can leave our friendship. "


    "Alas..."


    After hearing this, Shi Tao could not help sighing.


    After thinking about it, Meng Jian said, "Kong Ming, it''s really hard for you to exert your talents."


    Zhuge Liang said, "the time has not come. I believe it will."


    Meng Jian shook his head and said, "even if we wait, I''m afraid it will be difficult. Time doesn''t wait for us. Moreover, according to your opinion, we should entrust you with military and political affairs, let alone restrict your practice. In other words, we must trust you absolutely. Such a person is not ordinary people can do, and even, like a puppet day is not ordinary people want


    Zhuge Liang said: "Jiang Taigong fishing, willing to take the bait, there are always people willing to."


    Shi Tao laughed and said, "Meng Jian, you and I are worried too much. Kong Ming has his own plan. We will not get involved. "


    Meng Jian changed his words and said, "Kong Ming, what do you think about Liu Xiu''s visit to you county?"


    Xiangge said: "this is a wonderful way to build a good foundation. Liu Xiu''s move is a wonderful move. Among them, there is also Pang Shi''s pushing hand. "


    Shi Tao said with a smile, "Pang Shifu really paid a lot of attention to Liu Xiu, a close disciple."


    Meng Jian said, "after all, he is a close disciple."


    Zhuge Liang added: "although you county is an opportunity, it is also a crisis. Liu Xiu did a good job in you County, and he was able to form a foundation and base himself on Jingnan. If Liu Xiu makes a mistake, you county will be the place to bury the bones. "


    Shi Tao asked, "does Kong Ming think that Liu Xiu has more opportunities to rise or to bury his bones?"


    Zhuge Liang was silent when he heard the speech.


    A moment later, Zhuge Liang said, "if Liu Xiu goes to you County of Changsha alone, there will be half the chance; if he has the help of Shi Yuan, there will be 70% chance of his rise; if Liu Xiu moves Yuan Zhi again, he will rise. Liu Xiu was able to run the army, Yuan Zhi was able to sort out the internal affairs, and the scholar yuan was good at strategy. With the joint efforts of the three, the situation in Jingnan will surely open up. "


    Shi Tao and Meng Jian nodded and looked forward to each other.

 Chapter 104

    Xu Shu''s residence is located near lumen mountain.


    Liu Xiu returned from Longzhong and went straight to Xu Shu''s residence.


    Xu Shu''s courtyard is very simple. There are three bamboo houses. There is a fence outside as a wall. Behind is a dense mountain forest. In front of the door is a bay of water. This place has a pleasant scenery with mountains and water on its back.


    Liu Xiu came by carriage. After knocking on the door, Xu Shu came out to meet him.


    "Brother Yuanzhi, I''m sorry."


    Liu Xiu came forward and saluted.


    Wearing a single brown dress, Xu Shu saw Liu Xiu with a smile on his face. He waved his hand and said, "dear brother, please come inside."


    Entering the courtyard, Xu Shu and Liu Xiu sat down beside the stone table. Deng AI is from the back to take off the backpack, take out the book, looking for a corner of quiet reading.


    Xu Shu looked at Deng AI and said, "my dear brother, your bookboy is not simple."


    Liu Xiu said: "his name is Deng AI. He likes reading and can''t put it down all day. He''s going to be a nerd. But it''s good to like reading. If you read more, you can understand the truth. "


    Xu Shu said: "if you have the opportunity to read, you are willing to read. This is the image of outstanding people." After a pause, Xu Shu changed his mind and asked, "is it for you county that you come here this time?"


    Liu Xiu didn''t turn around to wipe the horn. He said straight to the point, "please give me a hand."


    When Xu Shu heard the speech, he was silent.


    Being an official is something Xu Shu must do. It was not Xu Shu''s plan to become an official now. It was a matter of life for Xu Shu to choose the people he was loyal to.


    Loyal Lord, must be careful choice, need careful consideration.


    Liu Xiu''s literary talent and martial arts are outstanding. However, as a superior, the most important thing is not how good his literary talent and martial arts are. If you don''t have good literary talent, you can recruit talented people; if you don''t have good martial arts, you can recruit strong generals. The most important point is to employ people.


    Xu Shu hasn''t seen this clearly yet. He doesn''t know whether Liu Xiu will employ people.


    When Liu Biao governed Jingzhou, there were countless talents in the territory, such as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, or Sima Hui, Pang Degong, Han song, and so on. All of them had outstanding talents, but Liu Biao did not accept any of them for his own use.


    Liu Biao has the ability, but he can''t use people.


    Xu Shu worried that Liu Xiu might have the same situation.


    Especially a person with outstanding ability, in many cases, is more reluctant to listen to the opinions of subordinates. Xu Shu didn''t doubt Liu Xiu''s ability at all. What he considered was Liu Xiu''s way of employing people.


    He is good at employing people, which is what Xu Shu is most concerned about.


    At the moment, Liu Xiu''s mood sank down, but his face was still full of smile, and said: "brother Yuanzhi, don''t be embarrassed. If you don''t want to, I can''t drag you to Youxian by force."


    Xu Shu said, "it''s not because I don''t want to, but because I don''t think it''s suitable." When it comes to business, Xu Shu''s address to Liu Xiu changed accordingly.


    Liu Xiu''s heart is a joy, asked: "how is appropriate?"


    Xu Shu did not refuse decisively, which means that Liu Xiu has a certain chance. This result is different from the situation of meeting Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang has shown his attitude to avoid seeing him.


    Now, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Liu Xiu will not give up.


    Xu Shu said: "xiugongzi''s ability is outstanding, but the most important thing in governing is not his own ability, but his ability to control. He should be able to use everyone''s ability, make overall plans, listen to loyal advice, know how to use people, and other problems. These problems can''t be solved on paper, they need to be judged from practice. "


    That sounds broad.


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, there was a look of joy. From a certain point of view, Xu Shu recognized him, but whether he could manage one side, whether he could have a foothold in you County smoothly, was the problem Xu Shu had to consider.


    Liu Xiu turned his mind and said, "brother Yuanzhi, I have a proposal."


    Xu Shu said, "what''s the proposal?"


    Liu Xiu said, "let''s make a bet, or let''s make three rules."


    Xu Shu good strange way: "how to do?"


    Liu xiudao: "it will last for one year. One year later, I will take over Yuzhang county and have a foothold in Yuzhang county. Brother Yuanzhi will give me a hand when he becomes an official. If I can''t finish it, I will not mention the idea of inviting brother Yuanzhi to become an official. In my opinion, the process of taking Yuzhang county will involve all the problems you have considered. "


    Xu Shu suddenly laughed and said, "young master Xiu is so bold. It''s not easy to win Yuzhang County in one year."


    Liu xiudao: "OK or not, next year depends on the result."


    Xu Shu happily said: "master Xiu has said that. I can''t refuse any more. This year, I will never be an official. For a period of one year, next year Mr. Xiu won Yuzhang county. I went to you county to join Mr. Xiu. "


    "It''s a deal."


    Liu Xiu laughed and stretched out his right hand.


    Xu Shu also stretched out his right hand, a crisp ring, two people clapped their hands as an oath.


    The ancients believed that Xu Shu agreed to Liu Xiu, which meant that the final choice was in Liu Xiu''s hands. As long as Liu Xiu opened up a situation in you county and won Yuzhang County, Xu Shu was one of his counsellors.Liu Xiu changed his mind and asked, "brother Yuanzhi has stayed in Xiangyang these years. Is there anyone else in his family?"


    Liu Xiu is very clear about Xu Shu.


    Xu Shu''s old mother stayed in Yingchuan county all the time. Because of this, Xu Shu''s mother was controlled by Cao Cao and Xu Shu had to work for Cao Cao.


    Since he wanted to recruit Xu Shu, Liu Xiu naturally had to make plans early to solve his worries.


    Xu Shu replied, "my mother is still living in Yingchuan county."


    Liu Xiu asked tentatively, "brother Yuanzhi has been in Xiangyang. Why don''t you take my aunt to Xiangyang? My aunt is old, but it''s not suitable to be at home alone. "


    Referring to his mother, Xu Shu''s eyes showed a trace of sadness.


    After years of wandering, Xu Shu never went home to see his mother, not because he didn''t want to, but because he didn''t make a career and couldn''t return home.


    Liu Xiu then said: "the environment of lumen mountain is quiet, and Deng AI lost his father in his early years, and his mother also lived on the mountain alone. When my aunt comes, I can keep company with Deng AI''s mother. What does brother Yuanzhi think? "


    Xu Shu said, "my mother is sentimentally attached to her hometown. I''m afraid it''s difficult for her to go south to Xiangyang."


    Liu xiudao said, "brother Yuanzhi is in Xiangyang, and my aunt is bound to come to Xiangyang."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "it''s just the so-called mother''s thread in her hand and the wanderer''s coat. When she''s leaving, it''s very tight. I''m afraid she''ll come back late. The old mother is full of nostalgia for her son. Brother Yuanzhi is going to take his aunt to Xiangyang. I''m afraid it''s too late for her to be happy. "


    After hearing this, Xu Shu suddenly brightened his eyes and said, "it seems that there is still some meaning in this poem of master Xiu. Four lines of poetry are written about mother, but the artistic conception is hanging here, not finished. "


    Liu xiudao said: "brother Yuanzhi''s eyes are as bright as a torch, and there are two poems at the end."


    Xu Shu said, "tell me quickly."


    Liu Xiu said: "the last two poems, who said inch grass heart, reported three spring sunshine!"


    "Who said inch grass heart, reported three spring sunshine!"


    "Who said inch grass heart, reported three spring sunshine!"


    Xu Shu murmured, his face was shocked, and his eyes showed a strong feeling of missing. He looked up at the sky, two lines of tears, quietly, from the face down.


    He was even more remorseful and thought that his old mother should not be left alone in Yingchuan.


    Xu Shu wiped away the tears from his eyes and said, "I''m glad to see you. A poem of my brother reminds me of my thoughts and makes me feel like my mother. This poem is a classic. "


    Liu Xiu said with emotion: "brother Yuanzhi''s true temperament is admirable. It''s good to have a mother. "


    Xu Shu''s heart trembled for a moment, and then he remembered that his mother had died early, and his father didn''t hurt him, and his brother didn''t love him, so his situation was even worse.


    Compared with Liu Xiu, he is already very good.


    Liu Xiu threw out his idea and said, "I''ll send someone to Chang she and take my aunt to Xiangyang. In this way, it''s a good thing for aunt and brother Yuanzhi to be around him. "


    Xu Shu said, "thank you, Mr. Xiu!"


    Liu Xiu laughs, and he is more confident. As long as Xu Shu''s mother comes to Xiangyang, Xu Shu can''t run away. Moreover, Xu Shu agreed that he would send someone to meet him. Virtually, he had recognized Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 105

    Prefecture, houtang hall.


    Bright moonlight, soft light scattered in the hall, is to add a little artistic conception.


    Liu Biao held a family dinner and invited Liu Xiu.


    In the past, only Liu Biao, Cai Shi, Liu Qi, Liu Cong, Zhang Yun, Liu Biao''s nephew, and the rest of the family never informed Liu Xiu to attend the family dinner. Today, Liu Xiu, as the prefect of Yuzhang County, is in charge of you County, which can be regarded as the core member of his family.


    Besides, Liu Xiu has a great reputation.


    Under such circumstances, no matter what, Liu Xiu must participate, and he is even more important than Liu Qi and Liu Cong.


    Liu Biao is the head of the family, sitting on the throne, and CAI is sitting next to Liu Biao.


    Liu Qi is the eldest son, sitting in the first position on the left; Liu Cong is the second son, sitting in the first position on the right. Liu Xiu, Zhang Yun and others sat down from left to right.


    The people of the Liu family gathered together.


    Liu Biao, as the head of the family, first picked up the wine bottle and said: "today''s family banquet is to celebrate Xiuer''s safe return from Xu county, to celebrate Xiuer''s coming to you county to practice, to celebrate the prosperity of the family, and to drink this cup."


    After that, Liu took the bottle and drank it.


    The rest of them drank.


    Liu Qi looks at Liu Xiu, with a faint smile on her face.


    Liu Cong took a look at Liu Xiu. In his eyes, there was a flash of jealousy, but it was well hidden.


    Liu Biao''s recent life is very beautiful, and he is very happy. Liu Xiu''s deeds in Xu county were enough to make Liu Biao happy for a long time. Especially recently, people have been asking about Liu Xiu. Liu Biao has never been tired of telling, and he is very satisfied. Liu Biao was so excited that the banquet was quite hot.


    After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the atmosphere is even higher.


    Liu Cong bowed to Liu Biao and said, "father, my son''s literary talent is not as good as his third brother''s, so I dare not show my shame in front of him. Let the third younger brother write a poem for the family feast. "


    Zhang Yun''s eyes twinkled and echoed: "uncle, a poem is too few. In Xu county, the officials under the command of xiugongzi wendoucao thief can see xiugongzi''s literary talent. In my opinion, at least two poems will do


    Liu Cong and Zhang Yun are very close.


    Seeing Liu Cong open his mouth, Zhang Yun immediately agreed, and wanted to take this opportunity to make Liu Xiu difficult.


    It is well known that Liu Xiucai is extremely affectionate. Now in front of Liu Biao, especially at the family dinner, Liu Xiu can''t make a satisfactory poem. In Liu Biao''s heart, Kong will be dissatisfied.


    Liu Qi watched the scene, frowning slightly, but never opening his mouth.


    However, Chua sipped her mouth and showed a smile on her face. She was also unwilling to lag behind. She suggested, "Xiuer, it''s rare that your father is so happy at today''s family dinner. Just make two poems to cheer your father up. "


    In speech, two poems are directly located.


    Liu Xiu scolded CAI in his heart. Do you think the poem is Chinese cabbage?


    Liu Biao was so excited that he didn''t notice the thoughts of CAI and Liu Cong. He looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Xiuer, do you dare to have a try?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "the father has orders, and the son should obey them."


    Liu Biao nodded slightly, with a satisfied look in his eyes.


    "Wait a minute, third brother!"


    Suddenly, Liu Cong interrupted again.


    Liu Xiu looked at Liu Cong and his eyes narrowed slightly. This Liu Cong is really boring. But sometimes, Liu Xiu thinks that Liu Cong is very cute. It is because of Liu Cong''s constant provocation that Liu Xiu can constantly rise with the help of opportunities.


    To some extent, Liu Cong is Liu Xiu''s stepping stone.


    Liu xiudao: "second brother, do you have anything to say? Could it be that the second elder brother also wrote two poems


    Liu Biao became interested and said, "Cong''er, is that true?"


    Liu Cong shivered, his head shaking like a wave, and said: "in front of the third brother, my son does not dare to make a fool of himself. As far as talent is concerned, I can''t catch up with the third younger brother who threw me ten miles away. My son interrupted because he had an offer. "


    "What proposal?" Liu Biao asked


    Liu Cong said with a smile: "what my son thinks is that it''s easy to write poems directly with his third brother''s talent. Therefore, it''s necessary to increase the difficulty."


    Liu Xiu immediately complained: "father, second brother, this is bullying me." At the critical moment, Liu Xiu doesn''t mind bending. At this time, the crying child has milk to eat. He wants to win Liu Biao''s support.


    Liu Biao said with a smile, "listen to Cong''er first."


    Liu Xiu nodded, and a smile came from the corner of his mouth. With the foreshadowing just now, he also had an idea in his mind. Since Liu Cong wants to target him, he will not make Liu Cong feel better.


    Liu Cong said: "father, since it''s a family banquet, it''s better to let the second brother write two poems, one related to his mother and the other related to his father. So, it''s the occasion. "


    Two poems, different themes.


    It''s more difficult to relate to father and mother.


    Liu Cong put forward such conditions, which made it more difficult to compose poems. As long as Liu Xiu can''t write poems, it''s Liu Xiu who loses face in the end. It has nothing to do with him.After listening to Liu Biao, he cried out.


    This proposal is just to Liu Biao''s taste and is most appropriate.


    Liu Biao looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Xiu''er, Cong''er''s proposal is very good. What do you think?"


    Eyes, showing a strong expectation.


    Liu Xiu looked at his words and knew that it was impossible to refuse. Once refused, I''m afraid Liu Biao''s heart will leave a big knot in one''s heart.


    On the other hand, this is the time to flatter Liu Biao.


    Liu Biao was happy. Many of Liu Xiu''s things were much easier to operate.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "father, my son thinks that the second brother''s proposal is very good. But the son has a request


    "What request?"


    When Liu Biao heard that Liu Xiu had agreed, he was very happy.


    Liu xiudao said: "in the past, Cao Cao had a servant pour wine for his son. Today''s family dinner, it''s better to let the second brother pour wine for his son. "


    "Well, that''s a good proposal, too."


    Liu Biao didn''t ask for Liu Cong''s advice at all. He waved and said, "Cong''er, whether your brother can make two poems depends on your level of pouring wine."


    When Liu Cong heard the speech, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.


    Looking at Liu Xiu''s eyes, showing a trace of helplessness, the heart said, you are cruel.


    He looked at Liu Biao with a smile on his face and said, "my son is duty bound to write two good poems for my third brother. Besides, I''m the elder brother of the third younger brother. It''s reasonable to pour wine for him. "


    Liu Biao heard the speech and nodded his praise.


    Liu Cong stood up, went to Liu Xiu''s body, then squatted down and filled Liu Xiu with wine. At this time, Liu Xiu stood up again and said, "father, my son''s debauchery after drinking. Please forgive me."


    "No harm! No harm


    Liu Biao''s eyes are full of expectations.


    "Here comes the wine!"


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and stretched out his right hand. He didn''t bend over to get the wine bottle on the table. Liu Cong secretly scolds Liu Xiu for not taking the wine himself, but in the face of Liu Biao and others, Liu Cong has to honestly pick up the wine bottle and deliver it to Liu Xiu.


    "Gudong!"


    Liu Xiu took the wine and drank it.


    He paced up and down the hall with his hands on his back.


    One step!


    Two steps!


    ¡­¡­


    After walking six steps back and forth, Liu Xiu still bowed his head to meditate and did not make a poem. Liu Biao, Liu Qi, Liu Cong, Cai Shi and others were a little anxious. Liu Cong''s heart was full of joy and joy. He filled a glass of wine and said, "third brother, drink another glass of wine."


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly, took the wine and drank it.


    "Yes!"


    Suddenly, Liu Xiu said.


    At this moment, Liu Biao''s body leaned forward slightly, and his eyes showed a look of expectation.


    Liu Cong''s heart was in a mess, and he secretly scolded himself for his troubles. He thought that if he didn''t deliver the wine to Liu Xiu, maybe Liu Xiu still hadn''t thought of the poem.


    At the moment, Liu Cong wanted to slap himself in the face.

 Chapter 106

    Facing the Cai family, Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "mother, my son''s first poem is called wandering son''s song!"


    In CAI''s heart, however, he had a bad feeling.


    In her heart, I don''t know how, but I think Liu Cong''s proposal is not a good idea. But now, with a smile on her face, Cai said, "my mother is all ears."


    Liu Xiu bowed slightly, his face became dignified, and his voice was slow and low.


    "The thread in my mother''s hand, the jacket in my son''s body."


    "I''m afraid I''ll come back late when I''m close to home."


    "Who said inch grass heart, reported three spring sunshine!"


    A song of wandering man, which expresses his feelings, eulogizes maternal love and depicts the image of a loving mother.


    After reading Liu Biao''s poem, he praised it: "what a song you Zi Yin is. It''s full of true feelings and loving mother''s feelings. Xiuer''s song "a wanderer''s song" is more about leaving Xiangyang, describing the idea of going to you county. "


    Laughter reverberated in the hall.


    Obviously, Liu Biao hoped that the relationship between CAI and Liu Xiu would be harmonious.


    Cai''s face has a smile, but very reluctantly. What she did to Liu Xiu was very clear in her heart. Liu Xiu''s poem, the more praise, the more satire she felt, the more uncomfortable she felt.


    But it can''t happen.


    Cai put his hands on his legs and said against his heart, "this song of the wanderer''s chant by Xiuer is extremely exquisite."


    The words made Cai feel sick.


    If Liu Cong made such a poem, Cai would be very happy. Now, Cai is not happy.


    Liu Cong stood beside Liu Xiu, listening to the poem, his mood was mixed. The original intention was to create difficulties for Liu Xiu. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu was in the limelight again. More importantly, Cai Shi was more embarrassed.


    In Liu Xiu''s heart, he was very happy.


    He believed that Liu Biao would definitely spread the song "wandering son''s song". At that time, Liu Xiu portrayed the image of a loving mother to Cai Shi. Later, Cai Shi had to weigh it up to deal with him.


    Otherwise, it will be difficult for CAI to gain a foothold.


    Liu Biao didn''t think so much about it. He thought Liu Xiu''s writing was very good. Then he waved his hand and said, "Xiuer, go on." Liu Biao also looks forward to the next poem.


    "No!"


    Liu Xiu stood up with a wave of his hand and said, "here comes the wine!"


    Liu Cong quickly filled Liu Xiu with wine and handed the bottle to Liu Xiu.


    "Gudong!"


    Liu Xiu drank and walked back and forth in the hall.


    Step by step, Liu Xiu paced slowly.


    Liu Cong looked at Liu Xiu and thought, but he didn''t want to interrupt any more. He just waited quietly. Before, he interrupted Liu Xiu. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu asked him to pour wine instead. He was quite depressed and didn''t disturb Liu Xiu at all.


    "Here comes the wine!"


    Liu Xiu took seven steps and waved again.


    Liu Cong''s mouth twitched slightly. Without interrupting, he had to be yelled. He was not happy.


    Liu Biao watched, but Liu Cong didn''t dare not pour the wine. Liu Cong handed the full wine to Liu Xiu. After Liu Xiu finished drinking, he put the bottle back and waited for Liu Xiu to compose a poem. In his heart, he expected that Liu Xiu would not be able to finish.


    "Yes!"


    On Liu Xiu''s face, there was a smile again.


    This time, it''s about Liu Biao. Liu Biao is also very excited.


    Facing Liu Biao, Liu Xiu said in a loud voice, "father, this poem of his son is called" to father "


    when Liu Biao listened to the name of the poem, he already had a general understanding. He was agitated in his heart and said," speak quickly. "


    Liu Xiu nodded, but his voice was not as deep as before, on the contrary, it was high and passionate.


    "I''m determined to go out of Xiangfan. If I don''t succeed, I swear not to return it."


    Where is life without bones


    A song "to my father", a word does not mention the father, but the father and son''s relatives, but come. In the poem, the image of a young son who is determined to go out and say goodbye to his father in his hometown is completely outlined.


    The poem is simple, but the implication is quite rich.


    Liu xiudao: "ask father to correct."


    After reading it twice, the light in Liu biaoping''s eyes became brighter and brighter. He praised: "my son has great ambition. Being a father is waiting for you to return to your hometown in splendid clothes. A song of "wandering son chant", mother and son''s love, deep in the light of sadness. A song "to my father", father and son''s feelings, high spirited but with no regrets ambition


    Liu Biao caressed his hand and said, "two poems can be regarded as classics."


    Liu Xiu''s face looked modest and modest, and said: "my father praised me falsely, but I''m ashamed." Immediately, Liu xiudao said: "if there is no second brother pouring wine, maybe these two poems can''t be made."


    Liu Cong smiles and goes back to the table.


    At this time, the mood of CAI and Liu Cong was not very high.


    Zhang Yun looked at Liu Xiu with a trace of awe in his eyes. He had known that Liu Xiu was outstanding, but now he saw and heard with his own eyes, and really saw Liu Xiu''s ability.Liu Xiu''s two poems once again pushed the atmosphere of family dinner to a high tide.


    The point is, Liu Biao is very excited.


    After the dinner, it was almost midnight. Liu Xiu could not go back to lumen mountain, so he had to stay in his family. Liu Biao and Cai took the first step, and Zhang Yun left immediately.


    Liu Qi, Liu Cong and Liu Xiu went to their respective yards.


    After Liu Cong, Liu Xiu walked briskly and said, "second brother, come and sit in my yard for a while. I have a lot to say to my second brother. " Liu Cong was a little afraid of his words.


    Up to now, Liu Xiu is no longer the son of a commoner who was left to Liu Cong.


    Now, Liu Cong is afraid to face Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu stood in front of Liu Cong, blocked the way, and said with a smile, "I''m alone. Is my second brother afraid? It''s a big night. There''s nothing to be afraid of. "


    Liu Cong snorted and said, "I''m afraid of what you do. Let''s go."


    They walked side by side and came to Liu Xiu''s yard.


    The maid Xia he prepared tea and put it on the stone table in the yard.


    Liu Xiu filled a cup of tea for Liu Cong himself, waved his hand and said, "my second brother poured wine for me at night. Now, I pour tea for him. Second brother, please


    Liu Cong waved: "no, I''m not thirsty."


    Liu Xiu tut tut twice, shook his head and said: "is the second brother afraid that I will put medicine in the tea?" He sipped his tea and took a sip of it.


    A mouthful of herbal tea down, throat and stomach inside, a lot of comfort.


    Liu Cong didn''t want to stay in Liu Xiu''s yard and said, "call me over. What do you want to say?"


    Liu Xiu waves his hand and asks Xia he to leave.


    In the courtyard, only Liu Xiu and Liu Cong were left.


    Liu Xiu light said: "second brother is smart, do not understand my intention?"


    Liu Cong''s face was cold and said, "I''m not the roundworm in your stomach. I don''t know what you think?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were sharp, and he said slowly: "second brother is not a worm in my stomach, but a sharp sword hanging on my head. He wants to kill me all the time."


    Liu Cong glared and said, "third brother, please be careful."


    Liu xiudao: "second brother, please be careful."


    In Liu Cong''s eyes, a touch of fear appeared. He big sleeve a brush, miso stand up, said: "since there is no other thing, late at night, I first go back to rest."


    Liu Xiu got up, pressed his hands on Liu Cong''s shoulder, and said, "second brother, don''t worry, sit down and say."


    The great power surged out of Liu Xiu''s hands.


    Liu Cong tried his best to support himself, but he felt that his strength could not resist. The powerful force made Liu Cong''s straight back bend and his legs tremble slightly. Finally, Liu Cong could not resist and sat down on the stone bench.


    "What are you doing?"


    In Liu Cong''s eyes, a look of panic appeared.

 Chapter 107

    Liu Xiu released the hand that pressed Liu Cong''s shoulder and made an unexpected move.


    "Pa! Bang


    Two crisp ring, in the quiet yard, it is particularly loud.


    But after Liu Xiusong opened his hand, he patted Liu Cong''s cheek with his right hand. The power of this action is not big, but the humiliation of it makes Liu Cong burst out.


    Liu Cong stood up and turned to leave.


    The next moment, a pair of big hands, once again pressed on his shoulder, Liu Xiu said: "why is the second brother not obedient at all? Let you sit down, you sit down. Tea doesn''t suit your appetite. If you don''t drink it, you have to go on


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were full of banter.


    At this time, he enjoyed the feeling of bullying Liu Cong.


    Perhaps, once Liu Cong, also enjoys this kind of feeling.


    However, Liu Xiu understood that the contradiction between him and Liu Cong could not be alleviated. Therefore, Liu Xiu didn''t hesitate and pity Liu Cong, but wanted to suppress Liu Cong severely, make Liu Cong afraid, and even make Liu Cong dare not target him again.


    Liu Cong sat, struggling twice.


    However, Liu Xiu''s hands, like steel, hooped his shoulders.


    No matter how Liu Cong struggled, he could not get rid of it.


    Liu Cong said, "let me go!"


    Liu Xiu still did not move his hands and said, "I''ll let go of my second brother now. If you jump up and run, it''s a big loss. Don''t worry, don''t worry. It''s still early. My second brother is sitting in peace. "


    Hold Liu Cong''s shoulder with both hands, and Liu Xiu''s hand slowly exerts force.


    "Hiss!"


    Liu Cong felt the pain coming from his shoulder, and his face showed a look of pain.


    "Let go!"


    Liu Cong roared, anger in his eyes and humiliation in his heart.


    At this moment, Liu Cong hated Liu Xiu and wanted to cut him to pieces.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "it turns out that the second brother will also feel pain and humiliation. How about being bullied? It''s not good. But why is the second brother always aiming at me? Every time, he always wants to bully me and humiliate me? "


    "It''s enough to find someone to assassinate me, but my second brother has to target me everywhere."


    "Did you see the smile on my mother''s face tonight? She was forced to smile, embarrassed


    Liu Xiu sneered twice and said sarcastically, "a man who wants to kill me everywhere, who is aiming at my mother everywhere, should be embarrassed after listening to the song of wanderers. He should reflect on what he has done. Second brother, do you think so? "


    Liu Cong said nothing and kept struggling.


    However, Liu Cong''s martial arts are very fancy and useless.


    Liu xiudao: "second brother, don''t struggle. The more you struggle, the more powerful I will be in order to keep you still. So it''s you who get hurt. "


    When Liu Cong heard the speech, he stopped struggling.


    The strength of Liu Xiu''s hand, appropriately slowed down, Liu Cong''s face was much better.


    Liu Cong said, "let go. I won''t leave."


    Liu Xiu raised his mouth slightly, raised a banter smile and said, "please, please, I''ll release my hand immediately, and you won''t be caught."


    In Liu Cong''s eyes, he felt humiliated. He clenched his fist and then loosened it.


    In the end, Liu Cong said, "I beg you."


    Liu Xiu said, "what are you asking me for?"


    Liu Cong steel teeth clenched, said: "I beg you to let me go."


    Liu Xiu laughed and let go.


    Liu Cong''s heart was dripping blood, and he said in a deep voice, "come on, there''s something else."


    Liu xiudao: "I talked with my second brother before. Please don''t provoke me again. But you don''t always have a long memory. You''re here to provoke me tonight. What happened just now is just a lesson for you. I hope you keep that in mind. You remember, I''m leaving Xiangyang, and I don''t have the heart to fight with you. "


    "If you don''t provoke me, I won''t touch you."


    "If you want something new, don''t blame me for being rude."


    Liu Xiu was fierce in his eyes and said, "I have no right in my hands. Now, I am the magistrate of you County, and also the prefect of Yuzhang county. Second brother, I have someone under my command. If you deal with me again, maybe one day after you go out, you will have a bad ending. "


    Liu Cong glared and said, "dare you threaten me?"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "it''s not a threat, it''s a reminder. You are too forgetful to remember things. You fight with big brother, don''t involve me. My idea is very simple, just want to do my own thing. My goal is Yuzhang County, so don''t interfere in my affairs, or you will bear the consequences. "


    Liu Cong''s eyes narrowed slightly and said, "are you sure you don''t want to fight for the inheritance right of Jingzhou?"


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "will father agree?"


    There was a smile in Liu Cong''s eyes, and he disdained to say: "you are a son of concubines, and your father won''t agree."Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "since my father can''t agree, why should I fight for it? All I do is to protect myself. I just want to have a place. So please take care of yourself. "


    Liu Cong said, "as long as you don''t fight for the inheritance of Jingzhou, I won''t deal with you."


    However, Liu Cong thought in his heart that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. After inheriting the position of Jingzhou shepherd, he could deprive Liu Xiu of his rights with a transfer order.


    At that time, it was not too late to deal with Liu Xiu.


    In Liu Xiu''s mind, he really didn''t want to compete with Liu Qi and Liu Cong. He wasted a lot of thought to fight for power and profit. It''s better to strengthen himself in you county and let himself have a foothold. That''s the root.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "second brother, do you understand what to do next?"


    Liu Cong also had a fake smile on his face and said, "you go your way, I''ll cross my log bridge."


    "Smart!"


    Liu Xiu thumbed up and said, "second brother, do you want to drink a cup of tea?"


    Liu Cong waved and said, "no need."


    Liu Xiu said, "in that case, I won''t leave my second brother for tea. Late at night, the second brother went back to rest early. What I said to my second brother, he can tell me about his mother and Cai Junshi. I hope they remember what I said. "


    Liu Cong stood up and left the yard with a wave of his big sleeve.


    Out of the yard, Liu Cong stood at the door, looking at the gate of Liu Xiu''s yard, his eyes showed anger, his heart thought, Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, you will pay for what you do today.


    "Second brother, don''t you want to go back?"


    In a word, Liu Xiu stood in the courtyard door, staring at Liu Cong who had not left.


    In a flash, Liu Cong shivered and left in a hurry.


    Liu Xiu looked at Liu Cong''s back and laughed twice.


    In the last life, Liu Cong was chosen by the Cai family. On the one hand, Liu Cong married the daughter of the Cai family; on the other hand, Liu Cong was young and easy to control. But in this life, Liu Xiu will not let Jingzhou be controlled by the Cai family. The Cai family and Liu Cong are bound together and doomed to regret.


    Liu Xiu turned back to the yard and told the maid to prepare the bath water.


    After a bath, Liu Xiu changed into loose clothes and was ready to go to bed. At this time, the servant girl came to Liu Xiu''s room in a hurry and reported: "young master, young master Qi has something to ask for you."


    Liu Xiu''s sword eyebrows are so late. What''s Liu Qi doing here?


    "Tell him to wait in the yard. I''ll be right there."


    Liu xiuphen ordered a, put on the clothes, then walked out of the bedroom.

 Chapter 108

    Liu Qi, wearing a blue robe, stood in the yard, looking a little anxious. Liu Xiu''s appointment as magistrate of you County means that Liu Cong''s whole energy will definitely be focused on him and directed at him everywhere.


    Since Liu Xiu defeated sun Ren, Liu Qi''s life is very comfortable.


    The reason is that Liu Cong gave up dealing with Liu Qi and aimed at Liu Xiu everywhere.


    A few months of comfortable life, let Liu Qi relaxed.


    All of a sudden, Liu Xiu is about to leave Xiangyang. Liu Qi is full of fear about his future. Because of this, Liu Qi came to Liu Xiu late at night, hoping for help.


    "Creak!"


    The door opened and Liu Xiu came out.


    When Liu Qi saw Liu Xiu, he showed a smile on his anxious face and said, "third brother!"


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "brother, you''re very polite. Sit down!"


    Moonlight fell on the yard, and the two brothers sat around the stone table.


    Liu Xiu was not in a hurry either. He poured a cup of tea for Liu Qi and said with a smile, "it''s hot. Brother, drink a cup of tea first, and let your heart go through."


    "Thank you, brother."


    Liu Qi took the cup, sipped the tea, then put down the cup, eyes fell on Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said: "big brother came late at night, is there something wrong?"


    The look on Liu Qi''s face became a little unnatural, but her eyes were impatient. She solemnly said, "brother, this time, I asked my third brother for help?"


    Liu Xiu changed his mind and understood.


    As soon as he left, Liu Qi''s situation was naturally very dangerous.


    Obviously, Liu Qi came to ask for help.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "elder brother, I will try my best to help him as long as it is within my power."


    Liu Qi said: "the third younger brother is about to leave Xiangyang, and the elder brother will stay in Xiangyang alone, which is hard to deal with. Therefore, the elder brother wants to ask the third brother, "what should the elder brother do?"


    Obviously, without Liu Xiu''s shield, Liu Qi is nervous.


    Liu Xiu stopped for a moment and said, "in fact, there''s no need to worry about the second brother. The first brother is the eldest son. As long as the first brother doesn''t make mistakes, no matter how much the second brother is favored, it can''t affect the second brother. Besides, as the eldest son, most officials in Jingzhou will be on your side. Why should you be afraid? "


    In fact, Liu Qi has too many natural advantages.


    There are too many advantages for the eldest son.


    It''s a pity that Liu Qi can''t use it, and is even frightened by Liu Cong.


    Liu Qi shook his head and said, "no, I can''t, because of the constant slander of CAI Junshi, Zhang Yun and his mother. My father''s impression of me is very bad. Now, my father almost doesn''t care about me, and even I don''t have much time to see him. After you leave Xiangyang, I will be targeted by them again. "


    At this point, Liu Qi solemnly said: "third brother, if you are willing to stay and help me, instead of going to you county. As long as my father returns to Jingzhou one hundred years later, I will share Jingzhou with you. "


    "Brother, please be careful," Liu said


    Liu Qi said: "third brother, everything I say is true, as long as you are willing."


    Liu Xiu''s ears listened to these words, and at the same time he came out.


    Although Liu Qi is weak, he is not stupid.


    Liu Xiu is not stupid. If he believes that, he is really stupid.


    Liu xiudao: "brother, to tell you the truth, I don''t want to fight for Jingzhou inheritance. I just want to live my life well. If you open Youxian, you can further attack Yuzhang county. If you go back, you can run Youxian without looking at other people''s faces. This is my day. Please forgive me. I won''t stay in Xiangyang. "


    Liu Qi''s eyes were anxious. He stood up, knelt down with a plop and said, "third brother, please help me."


    At this time, Liu Qi felt that he was in the dark and had no way out. Liu Xiu refused to stay. He was alone in Xiangyang and could not resist Cai Mao and others.


    Liu Xiu helped Liu Qi up and said, "brother, why are you doing this? I have said that you have so many advantages that you don''t have to be afraid of Liu Cong. "


    Liu Qi shook his head and said, "no, you don''t understand."


    Liu Xiu heard that Liu Qi was completely afraid and did not dare to fight Liu Cong at all.


    Liu Qi''s eyes turned and said, "my third brother doesn''t want Liu Xiu to go to Xiangyang. It''s better for me to discuss with my father. I''ll go to you county with my third brother."


    In a word, Liu Xiu''s face changed.


    Liu Qi also went to you County, the situation is different, will become Liu Qi primarily, Liu Xiu as a supplement.


    Everything will evolve into Liu Xiu assisting Liu Qi.


    Officials below will also have such an idea. This is not the situation Liu Xiu would like to see.


    Liu Xiu said decisively: "it''s definitely impossible for big brother to go to you county. It''s impossible for my father to agree. "


    Liu Qi grabbed Liu Xiu''s hand and said, "third brother, you are so smart that you can think of solutions. You can help me think of solutions. What should I do?"


    Liu Qi''s voice has been choked.In the face of Liu Cong''s fear, Liu Qi can hardly sleep at night.


    Liu Xiu sighed and said, "if elder brother is not willing to face the present situation, there is a way."


    "What can I do?"


    Liu Qi was overjoyed and looked forward to it in her eyes.


    Liu Xiu said: "big brother, like me, can choose to be an official."


    After hearing this, Liu Qi thought about it carefully and said, "do I also go out to be a magistrate?"


    Liu xiudao: "elder brother, although I am the magistrate of you County, in name, I still have a false position as the prefect of Yuzhang county. Elder brother, as his father''s eldest son, is an official, but he only serves as a county magistrate, which makes people feel that your father abandons you. So, you have to be a prefect at least to have enough weight. "


    Liu Qi heard the speech, thought it over carefully, and then said to himself, "in Changsha County, Lingling County, Jiangxia County, Nanjun county and other places, there are candidates for the prefect of each county. If I directly act as the prefect of a county, it will certainly cause unrest, and the people below will not obey me. Moreover, it will be very difficult for my father to transfer a prefect. "


    Liu Xiu said: "in fact, there is a very suitable place, which is also very beneficial to big brother."


    Liu Qi unclosed and held Liu Xiu''s hand, clenched his fist, and waved excitedly in the air. He said: "I knew that the third brother must have an idea. Let''s just say it. Don''t play tricks."


    Liu Xiu said: "the prefect of Nanyang County has always been vacant. Elder brother can ask his father to let you go to Nanyang County to work


    "Ah


    Liu Qi exclaimed with fright.


    He quickly shook his head and said, "third brother, don''t harm me! Half of the territory of Nanyang County is in the hands of Cao thief. I went to Nanyang County. Didn''t I just leave the wolf''s nest and enter the tiger''s mouth? No, it can''t be. "


    Liu Xiu shakes his head in his heart. Liu Qi is generous and benevolent, but he is too timid.


    I don''t have the guts.


    If Liu Qi were in charge of Jingzhou, he would not be as good as Liu Biao.


    Liu Xiu said with relief: "brother, although Nanyang County is dangerous everywhere, there is no one in charge of Nanyang County. This is your chance. What''s more, Nanyang County has imperial uncle Liu Bei''s garrison for defense. Liu Bei has rich experience in fighting, and has Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other powerful generals under his command. With them, he will certainly be able to resist Cao Cao. "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "after the elder brother has gone, he can rely more on Liu Bei. With the help of Liu Bei, he can form his own team and foundation to compete with the second elder brother. This is also the only chance for the elder brother to inherit Jingzhou. How to choose depends on you, brother. "


    After listening to this, Liu Qi was in front of him.


    Up to now, Liu Qi has no team to compete with Liu Cong.


    With Liu Bei''s support, the situation is different.


    Liu Qi nodded and said, "the third brother''s analysis makes a lot of sense. That''s it." With these words, Liu Qi stood up and said, "third brother, I don''t want to thank you for your kindness. If you need any help in the future, please tell me. I won''t refuse."


    "It''s late at night. My third brother has a rest early. It''s time for me to go back."


    "I wish you a good trip to Youxian."


    Liu Qi bowed his hands and left the yard.


    Liu Xiu looks at Liu Qi''s back and sighs in his heart. Liu Qi is a good person, but his character is too soft. After he went to Xinye, Liu Bei had to rely on Liu Qi, and Liu Qi also had to rely on Liu Bei. The two sides were complementary, but it was not clear who was in charge.

 Chapter 109

    The next morning, Liu Xiu got up and finished his morning exercise. After breakfast, the maid told Liu Xiu that Yi Ji was coming.


    Liu Xiu quickly invited Yi Ji to the yard and ordered the maid to serve tea. He poured the tea for Yi Ji himself, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Ji Bo, please use the tea. This is the dew tea collected in the morning. It tastes different."


    "Thank you, Mr. Xiu."


    Yi Ji drank a mouthful of tea, and the taste was endless. He tasted two mouthfuls of tea in succession, and he was even more generous in praise.


    Liu Xiu took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Ji Bo, what can I do for you?"


    Yi Ji waved his hand and the attendant handed up a sandalwood box. Yi Ji took it, then handed it to Liu Xiu and said, "young master Xiu, this is the county magistrate''s seal ribbon of you county."


    Immediately, Yi Ji took out the letter of appointment to Liu Xiu and handed it to Liu Xiu. In the letter of appointment, there are two official posts: Changsha County governor and you county magistrate.


    After Liu Xiu took over, he arched his hand and said, "thank you, Mr. Ji Bo."


    Yi Ji stroked his beard under his jaw and said with a smile: "when Lu Su was sent to Xiangyang, xiugongzi defeated sun Ren. He spoke and behaved properly. At that time, I knew xiugongzi was extraordinary. In just a few months, young master Xiu has already got rid of Xiangyang, and since then he has soared to the sky. It''s really not easy. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Mr. Ji Bo''s praise is due to luck."


    Yi Ji said: "it''s luck. I''m afraid it''s too modest."


    Liu Xiu smiles slightly, digs off the topic, and says: "Mr. Ji Bo is mature and prudent, and he has bright eyes. When I go to you County, I don''t know what to do for a while. Please give me some advice."


    "Ha ha ha What a xiugongzi. I''ve got all my ideas. "


    Yi Ji laughs and appreciates.


    Liu Xiu''s ability to seize the opportunity to ask is the embodiment of his ability.


    Yi Ji said slowly: "if you talk about guidance, Pang Gong, Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan have already instructed you. I have nothing to tell you about you county. Moreover, your own ability is very outstanding, and you are bound to be able to deal with everything in you county. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Mr. Ji Bo thinks too much of me. I''m a young boy. I''m too far away."


    Yi Ji looked at Liu Xiu and saw that there was not a trace of disappointment on Liu Xiu''s face, and he looked respectful as always. After thinking about it, Yi Ji said, "I don''t have any advice. There''s one thing you can do. Maybe it will help you."


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "please give me some advice."


    Yi Ji said, "before you leave you County, you can visit the Kuai and Cai families."


    After Liu Xiu listened, his eyes showed a trace of surprise.


    Liu Xiu did not consider this matter.


    Yi Ji said: "as a person who wants to take charge of one side, you should be broad-minded and not be impulsive. Whether he is an enemy or a friend, Mr. Xiu should have the same attitude, be impartial and not take personal feelings. The enemy can be transformed into his own. As far as possible to attract more people and reduce the number of enemies is the basic standard for an official to be mature. "


    After listening, Liu Xiu was convinced.


    Yi Ji''s suggestion seems simple, but it takes more time and experience for Liu Xiu to realize it by himself.


    Now that the Yi nationality has been listed clearly, Liu Xiu will know what to do.


    Cai Mao of the Cai family is aimed at Liu Xiu everywhere, but there is a certain relationship between the Cai family and Liu Xiu. After all, if Liu Xiu is going to marry Huang Yueying, Liu Xiu is also a member of the Cai family. Even if it can''t resolve the conflict with the Cai family, it''s good to win the favor of more people in the Cai family.


    As for the Kuai family, it''s even better to win over them.


    Especially after Kuai Yue released his goodwill, Liu Xiu should take the initiative to visit him. Up to now, Liu Xiu still did not go, which is also a blunder.


    Liu Xiu stood up, bowed and said, "Mr. Ji Bo''s instruction is in my heart."


    Yi Ji knew that Liu Xiu understood, praised: "a child can be taught." After a pause, Yi Ji said, "I still have government affairs. I won''t disturb you. Goodbye."


    "I''ll see you off, sir."


    Liu Xiu followed Yi Ji and returned to the yard after seeing him off.


    Sitting in the courtyard, Liu Xiu thought carefully about Yi Ji''s words and felt that he benefited a lot. Today''s simple conversation with Yi Ji has gained a lot. Liu Xiu asked Xia he to prepare some gifts and go to Kuai''s house.


    The carriage stopped at the gate of Kuai mansion. Liu Xiu got out of the carriage and went to the gate.


    The guard''s Porter waved and said, "stop!"


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "please pass it on. Liu Xiu is visiting."


    The porter looked up and down at Liu Xiu. Seeing that Liu Xiu was not only well dressed, but also dignified, he nodded and turned to enter the house.


    It wasn''t long. A sound of footwork came from the house.


    Hearty laughter came from the house.


    Kuai Liang, dressed in green, strode forward. When he saw Liu Xiu, he arched his hand and said, "young master Xiu''s visit to the Kuai family makes the Kuai family shine." Kuai Yue was busy with government affairs and was not at home, so it was Kuai Liang who welcomed him personally.When Liu Xiu saw Kuai Liang, he was surprised. Then he said, "I''ve met Mr. zirou."


    Kuai Liang was also a little surprised. He had never been out for many years and seldom participated in the affairs of the outside world. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu judged that it was him. This judgment is not simple.


    Kuai Liang waved his hand and said, "master Xiu, please!"


    Liu Xiu waved to Kuai Liang and said, "thank you, Mr. zirou."


    They walked side by side to the hall of the mansion.


    In the hall, the guest and host are seated.


    Kuai Liang had a strong smile in his eyes and said, "how did you think of coming to Kuai''s house?"


    Liu Xiu said: "at the reception prepared by my father for the teacher, I invited myself to you county. Thanks to Mr. Yidu''s help, I succeeded. I haven''t thank Mr. Yidu for this. "


    Kuai Liang smiles, but he sees it. It''s called thanks, but it''s actually a relationship.


    In this way, the Kuai family and Liu Xiu had a connection.


    Kuai Liang waved his hand and said, "when my second brother came back to my house, he told me something about the banquet. It''s just a small matter, not worth mentioning."


    "It''s a small thing for Mr. Yidu," Liu said. For Liu Xiu, it is a matter of great importance. " After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "Mr. zirou, this time I''m here, besides thanking Mr. Yidu, I also want to ask Mr. zirou to teach me."


    Kuai Liang shook his head and said, "I don''t dare to ask for advice. I''ll discuss and exchange with you."


    Liu Xiu said: "when I went to you County for the first time, everything started from scratch. I was also thinking about how to start. But in my mind, I always feel that I have a lot of ideas. I don''t know how to sort them out. "


    Kuai Liang said: "on the ruling side, there is no fixed method, no fixed tactics. When you go to you County, just remember a little. "


    Liu Xiu leaned forward slightly and listened carefully to Kuai Liang''s instruction.


    Kuai Liang continued: "when master Xiu is in charge of you County, he can''t swing from side to side. He must stick to his own principles, but he can''t be rigid. The most fundamental point is to unite the majority and fight against the minority. I believe Mr. Xiu can handle the rest well. "


    "It''s said that young master Xiu is here. My humble home is really shining."


    Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside the hall.


    Liu Xiu followed the sound to see, but Kuai Yue dressed in official uniform, strode in. Liu Xiu quickly got up, arched his hand and said, "boy Liu Xiu, I''ve met Mr. Yidu."


    Kuai Yue bowed back and said, "Mr. Xiu, please sit down."


    "I''ve seen you, brother!"


    Kuai Yue saluted Kuai Liang again and then sat down in the hall.

 Chapter 110

    Kuai Yue was also quite surprised. He didn''t expect Liu Xiuhui to visit him.


    Liu Xiu''s active visit means that Liu Xiu has understood the goodwill of the Kuai family.


    Kuai Yue took a look at Liu Xiu and said, "brother, when I came back, I heard that young master Qi went to find Zhou Mu and said that he was going to be an official. The place you choose is Nanyang County, and you should be the prefect of Nanyang County. "


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he knew it was meant for him.


    At the same time, Liu Xiu felt that Liu Qi''s speed of doing things was also rapid.


    Kuai Liang said with a smile, "what do you think of this matter, young master Xiu?" Kuai Yue''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu. Obviously, both of them intend to take this opportunity to test Liu Xiu''s attitude towards it.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were calm. He thought about it. He gritted his teeth in his heart and said, "brother, it''s actually my advice to go to Nanyang County."


    When Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue heard the speech, their eyes widened, and their faces showed a look of surprise at the same time.


    Liu Xiu''s words, in Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue''s heart, set off a huge wave. Originally thought, this matter is an expert behind Liu Qi''s plan, did not expect, is Liu Xiu''s hand.


    The news is shocking.


    Even though Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were old foxes, they were surprised.


    Liu Xiu continued: "last night, my elder brother came to me and hoped that I would stay in Xiangyang to help him. He told me not to go to you county. When I go to you County, it''s a settled matter and can''t be changed. So, big brother asked me what to do. I gave advice. Unexpectedly, big brother went to his father early in the morning. "


    In Kuai Yue''s heart, he didn''t know what to say.


    Unexpectedly, it''s Liu Xiu!


    When Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang looked at each other, they all had an inexplicable look in their eyes.


    Both of them thought they overestimated Liu Xiu before. Now after listening to Liu Xiu''s explanation, they think Liu Xiu is not simple. In a word, it changed Liu Qi''s situation, which can be called turning hands over into clouds and covering hands with rain.


    Kuai Yue took a deep breath and said with a straight face: "Mr. Cai thinks it''s feasible. Now, Zhou Mu has agreed to appoint Prince Qi as the prefect of Nanyang County


    Liu Xiu said: "in this way, big brother can rest assured."


    Kuai Yue shook his head and said: "when master Xiu left Xiangyang, it was the wind from the tiger to the cloud and the dragon that allowed him to fly. However, when Mr. Qi went to Nanyang County, it''s not necessary. I''m afraid he''s in the mire and it''s hard to get out of the mire. "


    In a word, it''s quite direct.


    Liu Xiu''s recognition of the voice over, especially Kuai Yue''s willingness to talk about such things, is an attitude in itself. Liu Xiu felt confident and said, "Mr. Yidu, no matter how Nanyang County is, at least elder brother doesn''t have to be nervous any more. This is his own choice."


    Kuai Yue said, "it''s the same reason."


    Kuai Liang answered the question and asked, "can you have someone with you when you go to work in you county?"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "at present, Pang Tong is the only one. There is no one else. Pang Tong, like me, is a young man. If only he could have a man who is mature and prudent. "


    Kuai Liang''s words mean to recommend candidates.


    Liu Xiu took Kuai Liang''s words and said that he needed a mature and prudent person. He understood the meaning of Kuai Liang''s words.


    Kuai Liang laughed and said, "it happens that there is such a person in the Kuai family. I don''t know if master Xiu is willing to accept it." Kuai Yue hears that his elder brother Kuai Liang has begun to contact Liu Xiu. Once Liu Xiu accepted the Kuai family, the Kuai family would stand on Liu Xiu''s side.


    Liu Xiu said: "there are many talented people in the Kuai family. If the Kuai family is willing to help Liu Xiu, it''s something we can''t get."


    Kuai Liang said, "my third brother Kuai Qi is very good at government affairs. If xiugongzi doesn''t mind, let Kuai Qi go to Youxian with xiugongzi. He can also help xiugongzi deal with some government affairs. "


    Liu Xiu was surprised and said, "I often hear that Kuai''s three heroes are Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and Kuai Qi. If Mr. Kuai Qi is willing to help the boy, that''s what he can''t get. "


    Liu Xiu has a certain impression of Kuai Qi.


    In the last generation, after Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao, Kuai Qi worked for Cao Cao and served as the governor of Fangling. Later, Liu Bei pacified Hanzhong and ordered Mengda to attack Fangling county. After the city was destroyed, Kuai Qi was killed by Mengda.


    Besides, Kuai Qi married Zhuge Liang''s elder sister.


    It can be said that the Kuai family and the Zhuge family also have a certain affinity.


    The most important thing is that although Kuai Qi was not good at marching and fighting, his ability to govern internal affairs was also very good, at least the ability of the prefect.


    Kuai Liang laughs, obviously willing to listen to Liu Xiu''s praise. He immediately said, "come on, please come to the hall to discuss business."


    After a short time, Kuai Qi came to the hall.


    Kuai Qi was nearly thirty years old. He was born with red lips, white teeth and white complexion. At a glance, he was handsome, elegant and elegant. Standing in the hall, Kuai Qi saluted Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue before sitting down.


    Kuai Liang waved his hand and said, "third brother, this is Liu Xiu, the third son of Zhou mu."


    Kuai Qi arched his hand and said, "Mr. Xiu, you are very polite."For Liu Xiu, Kuai Qi has been known for a long time. In a short period of one or two months, Xiangyang was discussing Liu Xiu''s affairs everywhere, and Kuai Qi also admired Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu bows back and waits for Kuai Liang to speak.


    Kuai Liang is responsible for Kuai Qi''s official career, which naturally comes from Kuai Liang.


    Kuai Liang looked at Kuai Qi and said, "third brother, xiugongzi was appointed by the emperor as the prefect of Yuzhang County, and the governor of zhoumu appointed xiugongzi as the governor of Changsha County and the magistrate of you county. Young master Xiu is about to go to you county to take up his post. There is still a lack of assistant officials under the account. I recommend you to go. What do you think? "


    Kuai Qi nodded and said, "it''s a blessing for him to keep up with him. Kuai Qi is willing to go."


    To be sure, Kuai Qi is quite capable of governing internal affairs.


    But compared with Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, Kuai Qi''s reputation is much worse.


    Kuai Qi also saw Liu Xiu''s extraordinary, especially his elder brother all recognized Liu Xiu, Kuai Qi naturally would like to follow Liu Xiu. Maybe it was a turning point in his life.


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "in terms of government affairs, we should rely on Mr. Kuai Qi more. Please correct me more."


    Kuai Qi was so humble that both sides were very harmonious.


    When Kuai Qi''s business is settled, Kuai Liang''s big stone falls to the ground. Kuai Liang asked again, "did you ever go to the Cai family before you came to the Kuai family?"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "I haven''t gone yet."


    Kuai Liang looked serious and said, "I suggest you visit him. Everyone knows that the Huang family fully supports young master Xiu. At that time, master Xiu will marry Huang Yueying. In this way, young master Xiu is also related to the Cai family. "


    Liu Xiu was shocked. This was the second person who suggested that he visit the Cai family.


    First, Yi Ji, then Kuai Liang.


    Yi Ji and Kuai Liang are both talented people in Jingzhou, with sharp eyes and outstanding wisdom. They put forward the same proposal, which shows the importance of the Cai family.


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "thank you for reminding me. Next, I will visit the Cai family."


    Kuai Yue said, "Cai Mao has some prejudice against you. But no matter what, you are going to marry Huang Yueying. You are Cai Mao''s younger generation. Therefore, young people must be patient and bear hardships to achieve something. "


    "Boy, I understand!"


    Liu Xiu nodded and wrote down the teachings of Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue.


    Both of them are human spirits. Liu Xiu will naturally consider their suggestions carefully.


    Liu Xiu didn''t stay at the Kuai family for dinner. After asking about you County, he got up and left. Then he took a carriage and went to the Cai family. Before leaving Xiangyang, it is necessary to visit the Cai family.


    It would be a great pleasure for Liu Xiu to take this opportunity to divide the Cai family and weaken their influence on him.

 Chapter 111

    The carriage stopped at the gate of the Cai family. After Liu Xiu got out of the carriage, he came to the gate and let the porter pass. After a while, the porter came out and said, "Mr. Xiu, please wait in the hall."


    Liu Xiu nodded his thanks and stepped into CAI''s house.


    Compared with the Kuai family, the Cai family residence is magnificent and magnificent.


    In the late Han Dynasty, the Xunzi family in Yingchuan, North China, was famous for its glory. Xun Shu''s eight sons, known as Xun''s eight dragons. Under the eight dragons of the Xun family, there are many talented people, such as Xun Yu, Xun you and Xun Xun Xun, who are the glory of the family.


    In the north, the Xunzi family''s fame was the same.


    However, in the south, the reputation of the Cai family is absolutely superior to that of other ethnic groups.


    Cai Mao''s father, Cai Xi, is famous in the south of the Yangtze River. Cai Xi''s younger sister married Taiwei Zhang Wen, Cai Xi''s eldest daughter married Huang Chengyan, and Cai Xi''s youngest daughter married Liu Biao.


    Cai Zan, the nephew of CAI Xi, was the Prime Minister of Yan; Cai Yan, the nephew, was the prefect of Bajun.


    Cai Mao himself was Liu Biao''s military adviser.


    The rest of the CAI clan also held important positions and were highly valued.


    There is a large family of CAI in Jiangnan.


    Even though the Kuai family is well-established in Jingzhou, it is still a bit lower than the Cai family. It is precisely for this reason that the Kuai family did not choose Liu Cong, but Liu Xiu, with the intention of replacing the Cai family.


    When Liu Xiu came to the hall, Cai maoduan sat right above him, looking serious.


    When Cai Mao saw Liu Xiu, he admired him, but he was afraid. The boy in front of him, in a short time, has gone beyond his control. After he went to you County, it is not easy to control.


    "Dear Liu Xiu, I''d like to meet Mr. de Li."


    Liu Xiu bowed to the ceremony with a calm and unassuming manner.


    Cai Mao''s words were very stiff, and he said slowly, "xiugongzi has nothing to do but go to the three treasures hall. I don''t know what''s the matter with xiugongzi''s visit?"


    Liu xiudao: "I''m leaving Xiangyang County for a special visit."


    "In what capacity are you visiting?" Cai Mao asked


    Liu Xiu said: "naturally, I visit as a younger generation."


    Cai Mao snorted and said, "I''m afraid Cai Mao can''t afford to be a junior like you."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "on the one hand, my mother is my husband''s second sister; on the other hand, I know everything about me and Yueying. In the future, Mr. de Li will be my uncle. "


    In a word, Cai Mao was shocked.


    All the time, he has been on the side of Liu Cong, on the one hand because of the Cai family, on the other hand because Liu Cong married the daughter of the Cai family. Now I suddenly find that Liu Xiu is also a member of the Cai family.


    Huang Yueying is sister Cai Mao''s daughter. He is Huang Yueying''s uncle and Liu Xiu''s uncle.


    The corner of CAI Mao''s mouth twitched and he was in a state of confusion for a moment. Because Liu Cong and Liu Xiu are both members of the Cai family. Although Liu Cong is closer to the Cai family, Liu Xiu has outstanding ability and is also good.


    Suddenly, Cai Mao thought of finding someone to assassinate Liu Xiu.


    After this incident, he and Liu Xiu formed a natural hostile position. In particular, Liu Cong is different from Liu Xiu. Liu Cong is easy to control, but Liu Xiu is impossible to control.


    After weighing, Cai Mao had made a decision in his mind.


    Cai Mao smile, light way: "repair childe has not married with Yue Ying, things are not settled, wait until after marriage." In a word, Cai Mao has already expressed his attitude.


    Obviously, Cai Mao stood on the side of Liu Cong and opposed Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said: "Mr. de Li''s words are reasonable. Until the end, there will be no conclusion. Just as Mr. de Li''s current choice may change in the future, it is also uncertain. "


    The hidden meaning in the words is that Cai Mao will support Liu Xiu in the future.


    Cai Mao said: "the self-confidence of Mr. Xiu is admirable, but the reality is very cruel."


    When they talked, the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    The sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the hall, and the housekeeper came in in a hurry.


    The housekeeper came to Cai Mao''s body and bowed, "master, the old master wants to see xiugongzi." The old master of the Cai family is not someone else, but Cai''s satire. Cai Shao is in his early sixties, approaching the age of the rare.


    On weekdays, Cai satire has no longer interfered in the affairs of the Cai family, leaving everything to Cai Mao. But now he suddenly wanted to see Liu Xiu. This situation caught Cai Mao off guard.


    "What''s the matter?"


    Cai Mao''s eyes were cold and his smile disappeared. Instead, he was gloomy and cold.


    The housekeeper shook his head and said, "I don''t know who told the news to the master."


    Cai Mao narrowed his eyes. After a long time, he waved his hand and said, "I know. Later, I will take Liu Xiu with me."


    "Yes


    The housekeeper nodded and then stepped down.


    Cai Mao looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Xiu is really a good tool. My father has not asked about the world for a long time, and now he is shocked by you. Is this a way to get my father''s support? "Liu Xiu had some doubts. After a little thought, he reacted.


    Cai Ji wants to see him!


    Unexpectedly, Cai Xi took the initiative to meet him.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "the Cai family is Mr. de Li''s Cai family. How can I deliver the news to Mr. Cai?". It can only be said that although old Cai is not in charge, it does not mean that he does not know what happened in CAI''s house. Mr. de Li should now consider what you have done and what has passed to Mr. Cai. "


    Cai Mao frowned tightly, brushed his sleeve and said, "I''m not afraid of the shadow slanting. There''s nothing to worry about. Mr. Xiu, let''s go and follow me to see my father. "


    Immediately, Cai Mao got up and took Liu Xiu to the place where Cai Xi lived.


    Liu Xiu followed and said nothing.


    From the conversation just now, Liu Xiu already knew that Cai Mao chose Liu Cong with a clear-cut banner. At this time, it is meaningless to make friends with CAI Mao again. The only surprise is that Cai Xi, the old master of the Cai family, knew that he was coming.


    This is a surprise.


    They came to the backyard and went to the northernmost yard.


    This courtyard is full of trees, flowers and plants, and has a large agricultural land. At this time, an old man in coarse linen, with gray hair and thin figure, was squatting in the ground weeding.


    This old man is exactly Cai Xi.


    Cai Mao went in with Liu Xiu and said, "father."


    Liu Xiu saluted and said, "little Liu Xiu, I''ve met Mr. Cai."


    Cai Xi stops. He looks up at Liu Xiu. His turbid eyes seem to be sharp and penetrating.


    Liu Xiu''s face was calm and he looked neither humble nor overbearing.


    Cai sarcastically nodded, laughed and said, "I heard that you and Yueying have a special relationship. Has Huang Chengyan recognized you?"


    Liu Xiu said, "thank you for your appreciation."


    Cai laughs and says, "Huang Chengyan''s vision is good. Well, it''s very good." With these words, Cai took a look at Cai Mao intentionally or unintentionally, and said with emotion: "not like some people, with eyes but without eyes."


    Cai Mao''s mouth twitched and said nothing.


    "I''m tired. Go out."


    Cai said a few words, but he didn''t want to talk any more.


    Cai Mao was relieved and said, "please take care of your father, and my son will leave."


    Liu xiudao: "I''m leaving."


    Cai Shao waved his hand. Cai Mao and Liu Xiu left the yard one after another. Back in the hall, Cai Mao looked at Liu Xiu with a gloomy face and said, "young master Xiu, are you proud?"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "I''m not proud, and I''m not proud."


    Cai Mao said, "if there is nothing else, please go back. I have something important to deal with."


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "goodbye!"


    When he saw Cai''s satire, the news will surely make waves in CAI''s family. This is enough for Liu Xiu. With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu strode away from Cai Fu.

 Chapter 112

    Lumen mountain, Pang family.


    In the study, Pang Degong and Liu Xiu sit opposite each other.


    Pound''s face was dignified and he said, "Xiuer, the appointment of Yi Ji has been given to you. When will you leave?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "on August 22, my disciples went south to you county."


    Mr. Pang asked again, "are you ready to go to you county this time?"


    Liu xiudao said: "Deng AI is the accompanying bookboy. In addition to Pang Tong, Kuai Qi, Deng Zhan and other warriors, the others don''t take them." Liu Xiu''s achievements in the Kuai and Cai families gave him more confidence to go south to you county.


    With Pang, Huang and Kuai families, Liu Xiu is not alone and has a certain foundation.


    Pound said: "the help of the Kuai family is unexpected. It''s a good thing. In a way, you have a real foothold in Jingzhou. What is lacking is your foundation and strength. "


    Liu xiudao: "Kuai Qi''s coming out of the mountain means that the Kuai family supports me. Although the Kuai family can''t believe it, it''s a great help to me now. "


    "Just understand. The Kuai family can believe it, but not all of it." Pound''s words changed and said, "today, August 20, early the day after tomorrow, you are leaving for you county. I will hold a banquet in lumen mountain tonight to practice for you. I, the children of lumen, should get together for this. "


    "Thank you, teacher!"


    Liu Xiu was very grateful.


    Pang Degong and Liu Xiu talked about other things. Then they called Pang Fu to arrange a banquet in the evening, and asked Pang Fu to invite Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others.


    This time, there were only people from lumen mountain.


    The rest of us are not involved.


    In the evening, Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui and Huang Yueying came to the mountain.


    Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Pang Shanmin, Pang Lin, Xu Shu, Meng Jian and Shi Tao all arrived, and no one was absent.


    When Liu Xiu saw Zhuge Liang again, his eyes were still full of smiles, as if nothing had happened. Although they didn''t recruit Zhuge Liang, they are still brothers of the same school.


    As Kuai Liang said, try to reduce the number of enemies.


    This is what Liu Xiu wants to do.


    When they entered the hall and took their seats, pound dutifully sat on the throne, with Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui on the left and right sides. Liu Xiu, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others sat at the bottom.


    Huang Yueying participated in the banquet and sat behind Huang Chengyan.


    Pound said: "I don''t need to say much about the theme of this evening. I have only one purpose, to practice for Liu Xiu."


    "Here, let''s raise our glasses and give Xiuer a toast first."


    Princess pound toasted, and the rest of the people took up the bottles.


    Liu Xiu took the bottle and drank it in return.


    After a glass of wine, pound said with emotion: "Xiuer is the youngest disciple of my family, but he is also the earliest one to become an official. As soon as Xiuer becomes an official, you will go your own way. I have a wish in my heart. "


    Liu Xiu answered and asked, "what''s your wish?"


    Pound is fair: "I hope you can all stand out in your own places. In the future, when you meet your elder martial brother again, you can still sit down and drink. "


    In his heart, however, there was a trace of loss.


    It is very likely that in the next chaotic world, it will not be the same place for the disciples to fight against the brothers.


    This situation made Pound''s mood complicated.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "teacher, you should be happy. All the talents in the world are under the teacher''s door. Looking at the world, who can do so? In today''s world, there is only one teacher. "


    Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others agreed.


    For pound, Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and others are very grateful. It''s because pound taught that there is no difference in heart, and they are all treated equally.


    Pang Tong saw the atmosphere dignified, immediately stood up.


    He diverged from the topic and said: "teacher, he is the protagonist to practice for Liu Xiu tonight. But we can''t forget Yueying. Liu Xiu had outstanding talent and wrote many well-known poems. A few days ago, he wrote "a wanderer''s song" and "to my father", but he didn''t write a poem to present to Yueying. Today, I have to write a song. "


    The words immediately resonated.


    Sima Hui loved to be lively. He stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Xiuer, it seems that you have to write a poem."


    Xu Shu said: "young master Xiu, can you be indifferent to this situation? You see Yueying, she is blushing with shame. She must write poems tonight. "


    Zhuge Liang also coaxed him and said, "when you write poems today, you must write classics. You can''t just write a perfunctory poem, otherwise how can you be worthy of Miss Yueying''s heart? "


    Seeing this, Shi Tao and Meng Jian agreed.


    Huang Chengyan looks at his daughter with a smile. He doesn''t care about the publicity of Huang Yueying and Liu Xiu.


    In his heart, he has already recognized the affairs of Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying.Huang Chengyan is not reconciled, just said: "Liu Xiu, I have agreed to marry you Yueying. But after all, it hasn''t been through yet. I''m not satisfied with my poem today. Haha... "


    Huang Yueying glared and muttered, "Dad, you make fun of me, too."


    Huang Chengyan said: "silly girl, this is for you."


    At this time, Liu Xiu was put on the fire by all the people. He had to write poems, or he would never get away.


    Fearing that the world would not be in chaos, Pang Tong said, "in fact, I don''t think a poem is suitable. More is better."


    Liu Xiu changed his mind and said, "brother Shiyuan, I''d better write a poem. Brother Shiyuan would dance in the hall to boost the fun. When I write two poems, brother Shiyuan will dance two songs. How about that? "


    "Ha ha ha..."


    When pound heard the speech, he burst out laughing.


    With a strong smile in his eyes, Zhuge Liang said: "Shiyuan, if you don''t agree, you are not a man. If it''s a man, promise to come down. "


    Xu Shu coaxed: "Yueying is waiting for these two poems. Shiyuan, you are also Yueying''s elder brother. Do you want to jump?" At the thought of Pang Tong''s slightly fat body dancing, Xu Shu felt funny.


    People''s eyes fell on Pang Tong.


    This time, it''s Pang Tong''s turn.


    Huang Yueying''s big eyes blinked and looked at Liu Xiu with deep affection. Especially Liu Xiu sitting in the hall that free and easy, confident calm appearance, let Huang Yueying heart.


    Sima Hui hastened: "Shi Yuan, it''s time to make a decision."


    Pang Tong stared at Liu Xiu, clenched his fist and said, "Liu Xiu, you are cruel. I''ve decided that if you write a poem, I''ll dance. Hum, isn''t it just dancing? It''s no big deal to twist your ass twice. "


    "Wait!"


    Liu Xiu waved and stopped Pang Tong from speaking.


    Pang Tong said boldly, "if you have any other requirements, I will agree to them."


    "Really?"


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, there was a look of ill will. Pang Tong killed himself and jumped into the pit.


    Pang Tong held his head high and said: "I''ll give up for Yueying''s sake. Tell me what else you want, Mr. Pang has agreed. "


    Liu Xiu thumbed up and said, "Uncle Pang is straightforward. My request is very simple. Mr. Pang went to the backyard to change into a woman''s dress, and then he was ready to dance. "


    With these words, Pang Tong''s face suddenly collapsed.


    "You, you, you are cruel."


    Pang Tong''s eyes were wide open. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu made such a request.


    The rest of the people laughed.


    A practice party, has been climax, laughter. Although Pang Degong, Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan did not take part in the party, they fanned the flames from time to time, making the party more lively.

 Chapter 113

    Pang Tong left the hall and soon came back.


    At this time, Pang Tong was wearing women''s clothes, which was very strange.


    Pang Tong''s appearance, in itself, was sorry for the audience. Now he was dressed as a woman. His strange look made everyone in the hall laugh. The hall was filled with laughter and excitement.


    Pang Tong raised his head and said, "if it wasn''t for me, you would be so happy. It''s thanks to Mr. Pang."


    Liu Xiu walked up to Huang Yueying and asked, "Yueying, do you have a silk scarf?"


    "Yes!"


    Huang Yueying nodded, took out a silk scarf from her sleeve and handed it to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu came to Pang Tong with a silk scarf and said, "brother Shiyuan, do good to the end. Come on, work hard for you. This silk scarf is used to cover the face. In this way, there will be more mystery. "


    Liu Xiu is also extremely active, completely without the previous calm.


    They are all his own people, and Liu Xiu has no scruples.


    "It''s a pity that if this scene is painted, it will be perfect," said pound


    Pang Tong was angry and said: "uncle, am I really your nephew? It''s cruel of you to ask the painter to record it. "


    Pound stroked his beard and laughed. He was full of expectations.


    Zhuge Liang quickly waved to stop the people laughing and said: "you, don''t take any more yuan. Now, it''s time for us to get back to the point and let Mr. Xiu write poems. "


    "Yes, yes, it should be."


    Xu Shu nodded and looked forward to it.


    Including Huang Yueying, also full of expectations.


    Liu Xiucai is outstanding in love and has written countless poems so far. However, none of the poems is related to Huang Yueying. Now Liu Xiu specializes in writing poems, and Huang Yueying''s heart keeps beating.


    There was silence in the hall.


    All eyes fell on Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Yueying with a faint smile on his face.


    This woman is not charming, charming, seductive, or enchanting. However, in Liu Xiu''s eyes, she is really beautiful and smart. She is not too smart, and even some confused, but let Liu Xiu peace of mind.


    This woman, let his heart, have a home.


    It''s her. It''s Huang Yueying.


    Liu Xiu took a deep breath and said, "the first poem written to Yue Ying is called" Acacia! "


    As soon as the name of the poem appeared, Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and others all nodded slightly and looked forward to it. Acacia a, can be said to be straight to the theme. Lovesickness, of course, is Huang Yueying.


    Huang Yueying pursed her lips and held the train in her hands, looking nervous.


    Liu Xiu gazed at Huang Yueying in his eyes, his voice was deep and deep, and his words were full of deep missing.


    "Red beans grow in the south. How many branches will spring bring?"


    "May you pick more, this is the most Acacia."


    A song "Acacia", will be Acacia feeling, reveal.


    In the hall, suddenly quiet down.


    All of you here have a certain literary background. After listening to Liu Xiu''s Acacia, I read it carefully, which is even more surprising.


    "Good poetry, good poetry!"


    With a long breath, pound praised: "the whole poem is inseparable from red beans, but it borrows things to describe people. The first sentence is about the origin of red beans, the second one is about "send a few branches". The words are simple, but the image is full, and it''s even more amusing. The third one is full of emotion, which means here and there. In the last sentence, I point out that Acacia, and I use the word "most" to push it to the extreme. "


    When Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Xiu, he was also convinced: "the talent of master Xiu is not as bright as many."


    Liu xiudao: "Shi Yuan, get ready to dance."


    Pang Tong laughed and said, "it''s good to dance when you hear such a good poem. Shine your eyes and look Pang Tong twisted his waist and danced in the hall.


    "Dong! Dong


    As Pang Tong danced, the ground vibrated, as if it had been shaken.


    In the hall, I burst into laughter.


    Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Pang Degong and others were all laughed.


    Burly slightly fat body constantly swing, that scene, too funny.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes swept over Huang Yueying.


    As soon as they made eye contact, Huang Yueying immediately avoided it. Huang Yueying''s face is more inexplicable. After listening to Liu Xiu''s poems, she still hasn''t recovered.


    The meaning of acacia is revealed.


    Through Liu Xiu''s Acacia, she seems to see Liu Xiu''s heart.


    Liu Xiu chuckled and turned his eyes to Pang Tong. Pang Tong''s dancing is really a disaster. This kind of scene makes people laugh and makes the atmosphere more lively.


    After a while, Pang Tong stopped panting.


    "So tired, so tired, take a break."


    Pang Tong gasped for breath. After a moment, he looked around the crowd and said with a smile, "ladies and gentlemen, I''ve finished a song and dance. I''ve got no credit, but I''ve also got hard work. At least, let''s clap and cheer up! "When they heard this, they laughed again.


    "Pa! Pop! Bang


    In an instant, loud applause continued in the hall.


    After a while, it was quiet.


    Pang Tong returned to his seat and said solemnly, "I''m very pleased with your applause. Thank you."


    When they heard the words, they laughed again.


    Panting heavily, Pang Tong said, "now it''s time for Liu Xiuyin to write poems and Fu again."


    Liu xiudao: "it''s our duty not to yield."


    "No, don''t worry." Pang Tong shook his head and said, "it''s just a matter of a while for you to recite poems and write Fu. Don''t you see how hard it is for me to dance?"


    Liu Xiumei picked it up and said, "brother Shiyuan means to have a rest."


    Pang Tong shook his head and said, "it''s not a rest, it''s to increase your difficulty."


    Liu xiudao: "brother Shiyuan, it''s a trick. I don''t want to play like this, and I said before that I would write poems and you would dance. Now you have to go back. It''s not right. It''s not right. "


    Xu Shu said, "master Xiu, in my opinion, let Shiyuan finish first and see what happened."


    Zhuge Liang said immediately, "I agree with Yuan Zhi."


    Soon, all the people agreed, and they had to listen to Pang Tong.


    With a smile on his lips, Liu Xiu sighed, "Shiyuan, everyone is on your side. It seems that you are really the king of popularity. Let''s talk about how you''re going to increase the difficulty. "


    Pang Tong said: "in fact, it''s not to increase the difficulty, just to limit the scope of poetry."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "nonsense, don''t play tricks." In fact, Liu Xiuzhen is not afraid of Pang Tong. On poetry, he has a lot in his mind, and Pang Tong is the one who is unlucky.


    Pang Tong said: "the next poem, I ask, must be a melancholy poem, must be enough sad. However, it must be a love poem. You and Yueying are so sweet. I''m afraid it''s not easy to have this sad style. "


    After listening, Liu Xiu thought carefully.


    Huang Yueying grasped the train and gouged out Pang Tong. She wanted to throw Pang Tong out.


    Pang Tong said, "Yueying, don''t blame me for embarrassing your lover. Don''t you see that? I had a hard time dancing just now. Now, it''s just a lot of trouble for him. "


    Huang Yueying snorted, turned her head and looked at Liu Xiu affectionately.


    At this time, the hall gradually quieted down.


    No one spoke, and no one was willing to interrupt Liu Xiu''s thoughts.

 Chapter 114

    Liu Xiu faced the crowd and thought carefully. He took a glass of wine and drank it with his head up. After thinking for a moment, a light flashed in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    "Yes!"


    A bright smile appeared in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    This curtain fell in Huang Yueying''s eyes, which made her more excited. Huang Yueying knew Liu Xiucai''s name, but she was shocked to see Liu Xiu''s poems.


    Zhuge Liang took the initiative to pour wine for Liu Xiu and said, "master Xiu, please."


    "Thank you very much."


    Liu Xiu was not polite at all. After drinking, he stood up.


    When he came to the hall, Liu Xiu looked at Pang Tong in a woman''s dress and said, "Shi Yuan, my poem is called autumn wind CI."


    As soon as the name of the poem came out, people began to think. Autumn is the bleak season. In the name of qiufengci, there is a trace of sadness. Before the poem came out, there was a touch of sadness in people''s hearts.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes turned and fell on Huang Yueying.


    A mouth, the voice is slow and low.


    "The autumn wind is clear, the autumn moon is bright!"


    "The fallen leaves gather and scatter, and the jackdaws are startled."


    "When shall we meet? I''m sorry for the night


    "Enter my Acacia door, know I Acacia pain."


    "looks like everlasting longing for each other, and is short of Acacia."


    "If I had known so much, I would not have known each other at the beginning."


    A poem of autumn wind is not only a typical Yuefu poem, but also an excellent one. It is full of sadness and sadness, which makes people feel a little sad.


    Lingering resentment, aftertaste.


    After a taste, Sima Hui commented: "autumn wind, autumn moon, fallen leaves, jackdaws, everywhere are sad things, the atmosphere is desolate, and the heart is colder, which perfectly meets the requirements of Shi Yuan."


    At this time, Huang Yueying''s eyes were moist.


    The poem contains feelings, Huang Yueying seems to think of the sad scene, naturally, heart down. Take a deep breath, Huang Yueying''s face shows a smile, proud of Liu Xiu.


    This man of outstanding talent is her companion all her life.


    Pang Tong stretched out his hand and pointed to Liu Xiu. He could not speak any more. He murmured, "I, I, I''m convinced. I finally know why Cao Cao calls you Mr. Liu. You are a monster. "


    Zhuge Liang sighed and sighed: "as soon as master Xiu came out, anyone who dares to write poetry again will be insulted."


    They all nodded and were conquered by Liu Xiu''s poems.


    Liu Xiu returned to his seat and said, "Shiyuan, it''s your turn to dance. But what kind of dance are you going to do? "


    Pang Tong snorted: "it''s just dancing. It''s not really difficult. Look at it." This time, Pang Tong''s dance was a new one. His every move was extremely rigid, just like a strong man''s dance. Instead of twisting his hips and waist, it was a sacrificial dance.


    In the hall, no one laughed again.


    One by one, they all nodded slightly.


    Although Pang Tong''s appearance was very common, his sacrificial dance was very strong.


    At the end of the song, there was a lot of applause.


    Liu Xiu praised: "Shiyuan, this song and dance is most suitable for you."


    Pang Tong raised his chin slightly and said with pride, "of course, this is my best dance." He was like a peacock, which made the people in the hall laugh.


    As the banquet continued, various links were added.


    Some tease Liu Xiu, some tease Huang Yueying, or talk about the marriage of Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu.


    In a word, the party was very lively.


    Just in all people''s hearts, and gave birth to a trace of parting emotions. The practice in the evening, though practiced by Liu Xiu, is, in a sense, the practice among the disciples of lumen mountain.


    After tonight, many people will go their separate ways, and it is difficult to return to lumen mountain.


    The banquet lasted until late into the night.


    Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others are already drunk.


    Pang Degong, Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan were toasted in turn, and they were already confused.


    Only Liu Xiu is sober.


    Liu Xiu called his housekeeper Pang Fu, told people to take all the people down to rest, and asked people to clean the hall. After all this, Liu Xiucai looks at Huang Yueying not far away.


    In the evening, Huang Yueying did not drink.


    Now, Huang Yueying is still sober.


    Liu Xiu waved and said, "Yueying, let''s walk outside."


    Huang Yueying gave a hum and walked out side by side with Liu Xiu. Two people naturally hand in hand, out of the hall, out of the door, in a flat place, choose a rock to sit on.


    The moon at the end of August is not a disk, but a crescent moon.


    The cool moonlight came down, the cool wind on the hillside, the hazy moonlight, very comfortable.


    Huang Yueying leaned on Liu Xiu and said, "third brother, I love the poems at night." Her face was still a little hot, and the thought of Liu Xiu''s poem for her was a burst of joy.Liu xiudao: "Yueying, when I take Yuzhang County, I will propose to Mr. Chengyan."


    "Well!"


    Huang Yueying''s heart had already been tied to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Yueying and said, "writing poems at the banquet is in response to Shi Yuan''s request. In fact, I wrote a poem for you. It''s different from the ancient poem, but it''s unique. It''s for you."


    "Really?"


    Huang Yueying''s heart is full of surprises.


    With a trace of banter in his eyes, Liu Xiu said, "nature is real."


    Huang Yueying said, "speak quickly."


    Liu xiudao said, "you have to kiss me first. Shiyuan dances to cheer me up. How can I remember if you don''t kiss me?"


    Huang Yueying beat Liu Xiu''s chest and said, "you are bad!"


    "Close your eyes!"


    Huang Yueying sat up and looked at Liu Xiu. In the moonlight, Liu Xiu''s face was angular, handsome and elegant.


    That appearance made Huang Yueying jump in her heart.


    Liu xiuyiyan closes his eyes, and Huang Yueying slowly approaches. When the lips touch the moment, Liu Xiu opened his eyes, holding the face of Huang Yueying, wantonly ask.


    After half a sound, her lips parted. Huang Yueying mumbled and said, "you are too bad to keep your promise."


    Liu Xiu sighed: "I can''t help it!"


    Huang Yueying rolled her eyes and hummed. She looked angry, but she had a strong feeling in her eyes.


    Liu Xiu''s arm embraces Huang Yueying''s shoulder, and they depend on each other.


    At the foot of the mountain, the river flows continuously.


    Liu Xiu took a deep breath and spoke slowly.


    "I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and you live at the tail. Every day I think of you but not see you, and drink the water of the Yangtze River together. "


    "When will the water stop? When is this hate over? I only wish that your heart is like mine, and I will never fail to miss you. "


    Words and sentences, emotional, tactful and appropriate.


    After hearing this, Huang Yueying''s eyes were misty with tears. She leaned against Liu Xiu''s chest and murmured, "third brother, my heart is like a king''s heart, never negative." Huang Yueying''s mind is very simple, but it does not mean that her emotion is very simple. She and Liu Xiu have known each other for several months, and her feelings have changed from weak to strong. Her heart is already in Liu Xiu''s body.


    When Huang Chengyan recognized Liu Xiu, Huang Yueying did not think about it.


    A heart is tied to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu wiped Huang Yueying''s eyes and hugged her tightly.


    At the moment, Liu Xiu''s heart was agitated. His father doesn''t care and his brother doesn''t care. However, in this era, he has a caring elder and a life and death lover, which is enough.


    Under the soft and hazy moonlight, the two figures are nestling closely, living and dying.

 Chapter 115

    On August 22nd, the wind and the sun were bright.


    A carriage, stopping at the foot of the mountain.


    Liu Xiushen stands beside Kuai Qi, Pang Tong and Deng AI. This time he leaves, the rest of the Kuai family doesn''t come. Kuai Qi comes. Deng AI is saying goodbye to his mother. Deng AI holds his head high and looks like a little man. There is no sadness of parting. Deng AI''s mother is very worried.


    Pang Degong, Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan and others came to see them off in person. Huang Yueying stands behind Huang Chengyan and looks at Liu Xiu reluctantly. She is nostalgic.


    Liu Xiu waved goodbye to the crowd and then boarded the carriage.


    Kuai Qi, Pang Tong and Deng AI also bid farewell, and then boarded the carriage.


    Deng Zhan led Yue Shan, Qiu Bao and four soldiers presented by Wen pin to protect the carriage.


    "Wheel! Wheel


    As the wheels turned, the speed of the carriage gradually increased.


    Not long, it has disappeared in the sight of pound and others.


    The carriage stopped suddenly less than five miles away. Deng Zhan rode to the side of the carriage and said, "young man, the villagers of lumen mountain on the official road have stopped the road. They say they have heard that you are leaving lumen mountain. They want to thank you."


    Liu Xiu lifted the curtain of the carriage door and looked around. He saw dozens of old peasants in plain clothes standing on the road.


    These people are all farmers near lumen mountain.


    When Liu Xiu just went up to lumen mountain, they met with drought and went up the mountain to ask for help from Pang Degong. At the meeting, Liu Xiushi made a bobbin car, which solved the problem of drought in lumen mountain.


    Liu Xiu has forgotten this.


    However, the villagers at the foot of the mountain remember clearly and remember Liu Xiu''s kindness.


    Liu Xiu stepped out of the carriage, and the villagers quickly welcomed the mountain.


    "Mr. Xiu, I heard that you are going to work in you county. I don''t know when you will come back. Old man, here are some eggs of your own. Take them with you and eat them on the way. "


    "Mr. Xiu has solved the drought. We all appreciate your kindness. There''s nothing to give at home. I''ve hunted some game in the mountains. Take it with you. "


    "Without xiugongzi, I''m afraid we''ll have a hard time this year. Young master Xiu, if you go here, you must be promoted step by step. "


    A simple face of the people, you say a word I say a word.


    In his words, he was grateful to Liu Xiu.


    For the people, to solve the problem of drought is to save lives.


    A drop of water will be rewarded by a spring. Who is good to them, they remember very clearly. After the news of Liu Xiu''s departure from Xiangyang spread, they discussed and practiced together for Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu looked at these people, but he was ashamed.


    To the common people, he has no credit.


    The original design of the bobbin car solved the drought in lumen mountain and even Jingzhou. It was because pound asked him to solve the problem, so he had the bobbin car.


    However, the people looked at Liu Xiu with gratitude.


    This scene touched Liu Xiu''s heart.


    Liu Xiu went to the front of the villagers, bowed his hands and said, "villagers, thank you. In fact, I really didn''t do anything. I can''t stand your love. "


    The people gathered shook their heads.


    People''s mind is very simple, they are very grateful to Liu Xiu.


    The process, they don''t know.


    As a result, what they care most about is Liu Xiu''s bobbin car, which let them through the difficulties. This is the result.


    On the carriage, Kuai Qi and Pang Tong looked at the scene and looked at each other, with a thoughtful look in their eyes.


    It is not an empty statement that those who win the hearts of the people will win the world.


    Seeing the expressions of the common people, Liu Xiu once again said, "I appreciate the kindness of the villagers. It''s just your gifts. I can''t take them. It''s a long way from Xiangyang to Youxian. I''m light and easy to get to Youxian in the shortest time. If we all accept your gifts, the carriage will be full and we won''t be able to make a quick journey. "


    "If only one or two people are accepted, it''s unfair to others."


    "So, none."


    Liu Xiu bowed his hands again and said, "the kindness of the villagers is in Liu Xiu''s heart. Now the sun has come up and it''s very hot. Let''s go back earlier. "


    After hearing this, the people whispered.


    One by one, Liu Xiu''s eyes were full of reluctance.


    "There''s a point in xiugongzi''s words. We''ve given all our things to Mr. Xiu. I''m afraid we''ll delay his appointment. That''s all. We won''t give gifts. Let''s kowtow to young master Xiu. "


    "OK, OK, let''s kowtow."


    A crowd knelt down one after another.


    Liu Xiu tried to persuade him, but it was useless.


    Dozens of villagers at the foot of the mountain knelt down and kowtowed, then stood up.


    These people, standing on both sides of the road.


    "Mr. Xiu, have a good journey.""Mr. Xiu, when you go to you County, remember to come back often."


    "Young master Xiu, it''s time to succeed."


    The simple words of the common people touched Liu Xiu''s heart.


    In this era, almost all the peasants could not read a single word. In many cases, they are easy to be used and incited. They don''t have the vision and shrewdness of the people of later generations.


    However, they are simple and simple.


    Liu Xiu was moved by such a person.


    Liu Xiu took a deep breath, bowed his hand 90 degrees again, and then boarded the carriage without looking back.


    Deng Zhan waved, the coachman waved the whip, and the carriage moved forward slowly. The procession began to advance. When the carriage was far away from the common people in lumen mountain, the voice of the common people shouting behind them could still be heard. Liu Xiu sat in the carriage, and his agitation gradually subsided.


    Pang Tong said, "how do you feel, young master Xiu?"


    Liu xiudao: "I don''t feel much. I just feel that I didn''t do anything. On the contrary, I let them be so solemn and feel guilty."


    Pang Tong said: "the demands of the people are very simple. They will be grateful to you if they have enough to eat. The people are the easiest to get, but the hardest to get. "


    Kuai Qi said: "in terms of attracting the hearts of the people, the most powerful person should be Liu Bei."


    "Oh, what''s Mr. Demin''s opinion?"


    Kuai Qi''s name is Demin. Liu Xiu and Kuai Qi are familiar with it and use it as their address.


    Kuai Qi said: "when Liu Bei was in the north, it is said that when he was the Prime Minister of the plain, someone went to assassinate him, but because of Liu Bei''s reputation, he stopped assassinating him; when Liu Xiu arrived in Xuzhou, the people supported him; when Liu Bei fled to Runan, there were Gong Du, Liu PI and other yellow scarf thieves attached to him; when he arrived in Xinye, the people mentioned uncle Liu, and even praised him."


    "In everything, Liu Bei is good at soliciting and making use of popular support."


    "All the people think that uncle Liu is a loyal and kind man. Word of mouth says that no matter where Liu Bei goes, he can easily mobilize the people."


    Kuai Qi said: "I can conclude that if Liu Bei is transferred from Xinye, he will go to other places. When the news gets around, it must be ten thousand people, not dozens of people. "


    "In this respect, Liu Bei has won the support of the people."


    "If you think from another angle, you will feel terrible in your heart."


    Kuai Qi said: "because once Liu Bei has a bad heart or a conspiracy, he will raise his hand and the people will follow him. We can imagine how powerful Liu Bei will be. On the surface, Liu Bei''s military strength is insufficient, but his hidden popular strength is not simple. Mr. Xiu must learn from Liu Bei when he goes to you county to solicit the support of the people. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "this is the truth that the people can use it. Liu Bei is really extraordinary. "


    In history, Liu Bei left Xinye and went to Jiangxia. Countless people followed him, supporting the old and carrying the young. In the romance, there are exaggerations, but Liu Bei can let countless people follow, which is not simple.


    Compared with Cao Cao and Sun Quan, Liu Xiu''s starting time is too short.


    Therefore, Liu Xiu should seize all the opportunities, and popular support is the most crucial point.


    Kuai Qi changed his words and said, "young master Xiu, you county is free from restrictions since he went to you county. What''s Mr. Xiu''s ambition? "


    Pang Tong''s face became serious when he heard the speech.


    According to Kuai Qi and Pang Tong, a person''s ambition determines his future achievements.


    Asking about ambition is a very serious topic. Just as Liu Bei mentioned his ambition, he always said that he wanted to revive the Han Dynasty and restore the Han Dynasty. His intention was to let people know that he had great ambition and was not a mediocre person.

 Chapter 116

    The look in Liu Xiu''s eyes became dignified.


    His ambition has long been set.


    In this life, Liu Xiu will not let Jingzhou fall into the hands of Liu Cong, will not give Jingzhou to Cao Cao, and will not repeat the result of relying on others. Liu Xiu wants to rise, to control Jingzhou, to attack Sun Quan in the East, to resist Cao Cao in the north, and to win the world.


    However, such an idea is impossible for him to say.


    In front of Pang Tong and Kuai Qi, Liu Xiu''s ambition must be big and magnificent, not too ordinary.


    All of a sudden, a word appeared in Liu Xiu''s mind.


    In this case, it''s a must-have for passers-by!


    Liu Xiu didn''t answer for the moment. He wanted to hear from Kuai Qi and Pang Tong. Looking at Kuai Qi, Liu Xiu asked, "what is Mr. Demin''s ambition?"


    Kuai Qi''s eyes were dignified when he heard the speech.


    Kuai Qi can''t give an answer to this question at will. After thinking about it for a moment, Kuai Qi said: "my ambition is to choose a wise leader, help the country, and keep my name in the history of the Qing Dynasty."


    Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue are both talented people. They assisted Liu Biao and successfully let Liu Biao dominate. Their abilities have been shown. However, Kuai Qi is unknown. His ambition is no less than Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue. In Kuai Qi''s heart, he wanted to surpass his two elder brothers.


    It is his ambition to support the country.


    It is his ambition to remain famous in history.


    After Liu Xiu listened, there was a smile in his eyes. Kuai Qi''s words mentioned his ambition, but to a certain extent, they were actually flattering Liu Xiu.


    Kuai Qi is now working for Liu Xiu.


    Who is the master of Ming Dynasty? Liu Xiu is the master of Ming Dynasty in Kuai Qi''s words. This is only a temporary answer, of course. One day Kuai Qi thinks Liu Xiu is not suitable, then Kuai Qi''s Mingzhu is replaced by other people.


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Demin''s ambition will surely come true."


    When Kuai Qi heard the speech, a smile rose from the corner of his mouth.


    In Liu Xiu''s reply, he revealed his idea. Liu Xiu at least has the ambition to help the world.


    Liu Xiu looked at Pang Tong and asked, "Shiyuan, what''s your ambition?"


    As soon as Pang Tong brushed his sleeves, he sat upright, and slowly replied, "my ambition is actually very simple. I will go out to the prime minister and help Mingzhu to wipe out the troubled times."


    This ambition is even more grand.


    Since ancient times, there are not many people who can really become prime ministers.


    It is needless to say that Cao Cao is both civil and military. He is in power. He is absolutely a general and a prime minister. In history, Zhuge Liang was also a prime minister, commanding the army outside and ruling the government inside, with military and political power in his hands.


    It was not easy for Pang Tong to become a prime minister, but at least he dared to think.


    Liu Xiu asked again, "Xiao AI, what''s your ambition?"


    After listening to this, Deng AI tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "when I just went to Xu county with my son, I wanted to let my mother live a stable life. Now I want to read books, read a lot of books, and be a respectable person like a childe. "


    Liu Xiu, Pang Tong and Kuai Qi all laughed.


    As a child, ideas are constantly changing.


    Deng AI blinked his eyes and asked, "young master, what''s your ambition?" In Deng AI''s eyes, Liu Xiu is his model and his navigation mark.


    What is Liu Xiu''s ambition that determines Deng AI''s ambition now?


    Kuai Qi and Pang Tong also showed a look of expectation.


    Liu Xiu''s face was solemn and solemn. He said slowly, "my ambition is summed up in four sentences."


    "Set your heart for heaven and earth."


    "For the people."


    "To carry on the unique learning."


    "Peace for all generations."


    Liu Xiu''s words are the most famous four sentences of Hengqu. These four sentences are well-known by Zhang Zai, a Confucianist in the Northern Song Dynasty. It''s magnificent, ambitious and unparalleled. When it comes to ambition, these four words are undoubtedly the most appropriate.


    "Hiss!"


    Kuai Qi''s eyes widened and he took a cool breath. He looked at Liu Xiu with a look of shock in his eyes.


    This ambition is beyond his reach.


    Pang Tong smashed his mouth and looked at Liu Xiu as if he were looking at a monster. He sighed, shook his head and said, "compared with you, poetry is out of reach; compared with you, ambition is even more irritating. Forget it, forget it, I''ll comfort my hurt heart. "


    Deng AI''s eyes were already full of respected little stars, and his heart was even more excited.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "the ambition is good, but the road ahead is full of thorns. I''m sure you''ll never be safe when you go to you county. "


    Kuai Qi said: "the soldiers come to block the water and cover the land. When they get to you County, they will take down the moves."


    The three talked about you County, but the carriage went all the way south.


    From Xiangyang to you County, first by land, then by water.


    Liu Xiu and his party left Xiangyang, passed Yicheng County, and then went straight south. After arriving at Jiangling County, Nanjun County, the team began to go south by water to enter the main road of the Yangtze River.Along the Yangtze River into the territory of Changsha County, and then from the tributary Xiangshui south. Xiang water passes through Linxiang County, the seat of Changsha County, stops in Linxiang County, and then goes directly to you County by water.


    Generally speaking, the time consumed will not be too long.


    One day, Liu Xiu and his party entered Yicheng County.


    The carriage stopped suddenly as it passed through the county seat of Yicheng County. Deng Zhan came to the carriage and reported: "young master, on the official road ahead, there is a man who calls himself March and asks to see him."


    Marcy?


    Liu Xiu''s eyebrows wrinkled.


    Immediately, Liu Xiu''s eyes turned to Pang Tong, because Ma Qi had a certain relationship with Pang Tong.


    Once upon a time in Xiangyang, Pang Tong accidentally killed the son of Mafang, and Ma Qi, as the owner of the Yicheng horse family, also participated in the trial. On that day, Pang Tong was acquitted for Liu Xiu''s sake. Ma Qi left with Ma Fang, Ma Liang, Ma Su and others, without further investigation.


    Now, March came to see me on his own initiative, and it was strange.


    Pang Tong said with a little smile: "don''t worry about me, young master Xiu. What should I do? Just do it. In fact, I was too irritable at the beginning, otherwise it would not lead to a homicide. "


    Kuai Qi''s eyes picked, and there was a trace of surprise in his eyes. Everyone knows that Pang Tong''s shape is like fire, and his temperament is quite fierce. Now it seems that Pang Tong has been able to face it calmly, which is not simple.


    Liu Xiu was also quite surprised. He nodded, lifted the curtain of the carriage door, and got out of the carriage. As soon as he got out of the carriage, March came to the carriage and said, "Yicheng March, I''d like to see you."


    Liu Xiu arched his hand back and said, "Ma Gong is waiting here. What''s the matter?"


    Maggie replied, "young master Xiu, who has come from Xiangyang, should take a rest. I''ve already given a banquet at home to clean up the dust for Mr. Xiu. I''d like to invite Mr. Xiu to appreciate it. "


    The initiative of the Ma family made Liu Xiu curious.


    What''s going on?


    He and the Ma family also have grudges, and now the Ma family even take the initiative to invite.


    Liu Xiu turned his mind, looked back at the carriage and said, "Ma Gong, it''s just Pang Tong..."


    As soon as he spoke, March said, "don''t worry, Mr. Xiu. The matter of Ma Fang is over. What''s more, it''s hard to say who was right and who was wrong about things in the past


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu knew that the Ma family had something to talk about. He nodded and said, "in that case, thank you, Ma Gong. Please lead the way."


    With a smile on his face, March turned and led the group into the city.

 Chapter 117

    Ma family in Yicheng County is equivalent to Kuai family in Xiangyang County, or Cai family in Jingzhou. In Yicheng County, the Ma family is Optimus Prime. If you stamp your feet, the whole Yicheng County will shake three times.


    However, Ma''s house is simple and simple.


    The house is very big, without expensive decoration, but it is full of trees, flowers and plants. The scenery is very pleasant and comfortable.


    Judging from the residence, the Ma family is not luxurious.


    Liu Xiu and Pang Tong went straight into the hall of the Ma family.


    There was already a crowd waiting in the hall.


    In addition to March''s five sons, all the major figures of the Ma family have arrived. Liu Xiu swept around and didn''t find the existence of Ma Fang. He expected that it was Pang Tong''s business that didn''t let Ma Fang participate.


    When the host and the guest sat down, March arched his hand and said, "Mr. Xiu has come all the way. It''s hard. Come on, let''s respect Mr. Xiu together."


    The people of the Ma family took up wine bottles one after another and toasted Liu Xiu.


    Naturally, Liu Xiu would not take the initiative to mention things. He said with a smile: "I passed Yicheng County, but I got the warm hospitality of Ma Gong. I''d like to offer a glass of wine to Ma Gong. Thank you, Ma Gong. Gentlemen, please


    March hears the words and drinks according to them.


    Most of the stories Liu talked about were brilliant.


    Liu Xun sat down in danger and was modest again and again.


    The people of the Ma family echoed and praised Liu Xiu as a young hero. Liu Xiu would not take such a thing lightly. If the Ma family has nothing to do, it is impossible to invite him to the house. There must be something to talk about.


    It''s just to see who has patience and can hold on to the end.


    At the banquet, push the cup to hand over the cup, constantly drink, wine after three rounds, food after five flavors, the atmosphere is more lively.


    At the same time, there are singers dancing.


    The atmosphere created by the Ma family is very cheerful.


    When Liu Xiu was constantly drinking, Pang Tong was also open-minded. Kuai Qi sits behind Liu Xiu, but he takes a sip of wine from time to time and keeps sober all the time. Deng Zhan''s face is more serious. He doesn''t drink at all and just eats food. As Liu Xiu''s bodyguard, Deng Zhan must not drink, otherwise, once something happens, it is easy to have an accident.


    The banquet lasted until late into the night.


    When the crowd dispersed, Liu Xiu and others were placed in a quiet courtyard. Deng Zhan arranges Yue Shan, Qiu Bao and others to take charge of the guard, and he also plays a spirit, careful vigil.


    Pang Tong and Deng AI have already rested on this matter.


    Liu Xiu and Kuai Qi, still awake, are sitting opposite each other in the room.


    Kuai Qi had admiration in his eyes and praised: "the response of the young master at night is very correct. In short, no matter how flattering the Ma family is, they can''t take the initiative to ask each other what their purpose is. They are from all over the world, just say it. "


    Liu Xiu was less than 20 years old, but Kuai Qi also admired his way of doing things.


    At the banquet in the evening, Kuai Qi didn''t know how much wine Liu Xiu had drunk, but now Liu Xiu was calm and didn''t feel drunk at all. Moreover, Liu Xiu and the people of Ma''s family drink alcohol, and their words are very reasonable.


    This kind of wrist is very powerful.


    The more Kuai Qi gets along with Liu Xiu, the more he feels that Liu Xiu is not simple, and that Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue have chosen correctly.


    Liu Xiu said, "when Maggie comes to me, there must be something wrong. But in the evening, they didn''t mention it, and tomorrow morning, we will go south again. March is bound to come tonight. "


    "Dong! Dong


    Knock on the door, outside the room.


    Liu Xiu showed a touch of joy on his face and asked, "who is that?"


    Deng Zhan replied, "young master, March wants to see you."


    Liu Xiu replied, "let him wait in the yard. I''ll come right away."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan turned around and left.


    Liu xiutan opened his hand, shrugged his shoulders and said, "if you talk about March, March will come. Let''s go, Mr. Demin. Let''s see March and see what''s going on with them. "


    "No!"


    Kuai Qi nodded and walked out of the room with Liu Xiu.


    In the yard, March stands with a bow.


    After Liu Xiu and Kuai Qi came out, March immediately stepped forward, arched his hand and said, "I''ve seen Mr. Xiu."


    "Ma Gong Li, please sit down."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and motioned for March to take a seat in the yard.


    At this time, March looked at Kuai Qi, Deng Zhan and others. Liu Xiu immediately understood, waved Deng Zhan to take people back, and then said: "Mr. Ma Gong, Mr. Demin is one of his own. If there''s something wrong, it''s OK to say it."


    March nodded and said, "this time I''m here, I''m asking for master Xiu."


    "Oh, what''s the matter?" Liu Xiu was on the alert and said, "I''m just a small county magistrate. I don''t know much about Ma Gong Gong. I have limited ability and can''t help much. But if we can, we will not refuse. "


    March said: "as long as xiugongzi agrees, naturally there is no problem."


    But Liu Xiu didn''t agree and said, "please say it.""I have five sons at my knees, and none of them has been in office," he said. My idea is to let Ma Bo, the eldest, follow the adults and ask them to accept me. "


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he immediately understood it.


    The Ma family must have moved their mind and planned to bet on Liu Xiu. It is because of this that the Ma family can put down their grudges with Liu Xiu and take the initiative to approach him. In the face of the interests of the Ma family, the personal enmity of Ma Fang can only be put aside.


    Liu Xiu pondered carefully and did not agree immediately.


    Seeing this, Ma Qi got up in a hurry and said, "young master Xiu can see Bo Chang and decide whether to accept it or not. What do you think?"


    For Liu Xiu, March also saw that this is a potential stock.


    First of all, after Liu Xiu went to Xu county, he already had enough fame. Cao Cao called Liu Xiu Mr. Liu, but also issued a son when such as Liu Xiu''s feelings. Such a person, absolutely not bad.


    Secondly, there are Pang family, Huang family and now Kuai family behind Liu Xiu. In the hands of Liu Xiu, a certain force has been formed, which can ensure that Liu Xiu has enough strength.


    At last, Liu Xiu''s culture and martial arts were superior. After he got out of Xiangyang''s cage, haikuo was able to fish. No matter what the future development of Jingzhou is, as long as Liu Xiu does not make mistakes, he must be an important figure in Jingzhou.


    For these reasons, the Ma family also wants a share.


    Therefore, Ma Qi took the initiative to find Liu Xiu, hoping that the Ma family could enter Liu Xiu''s ship.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Ma Gong, I know brother Bo Chang''s ability. However, brother BoChang is the eldest son of the Ma family and is destined to inherit the foundation of the Ma family. Brother BoChang will surely put more energy into the Ma family. So I hope someone else will follow me to you county. "


    The nervous look on March''s face was relieved.


    At least, Liu Xiu agreed. But Liu Xiu''s reason for rejecting Ma BoChang is untenable. What is meant by the eldest son inheriting his family property? Can''t the eldest son become an official? This is obviously the reason for Liu Xiu to shirk.


    March was a human spirit and asked, "who do you want to go to, Mr. Xiu?"


    Liu Xiu said: "I hope Ma Liang will follow me to you county. Other people will not consider it for the time being."


    The corners of March''s mouth twitched slightly. He was one of the five sons under his knees. Ma Liang has the best ability. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu called Ma Liang directly, which made Ma Qi embarrassed.


    Liu Xiu big sleeve a whisk, tone cold way: "Ma Gong feel inappropriate, even if it."


    Ma Qi, who dares to refuse Liu Xiu''s request, quickly explains: "young master Xiu misunderstands. I''m just worried that Ji Chang is stubborn and doesn''t know how to adapt. I''m worried that he will make young master Xiu unhappy. If you like it, let him go to you county. "


    Liu Xiu had a bright smile on his face.


    Ma Liang has a good ability in both internal affairs and military leadership. Ma Liang and Kuai Qi, together with Pang Tong and Liu Xiu, were able to govern You county and even plan Yuzhang county.

 Chapter 118

    Ma family, Xixiang residence.


    This place is the residence of Mafang.


    In the study, Mafang sits opposite a man in black, with a big face and fierce eyes.


    The name of the man in black is Gao Tang, Ma Yin''s uncle.


    Ma Yin is killed by Pang Tong. Gao Tang is also very angry. Gao Tang has only one sister, especially he has no son, and dotes on Ma Yin. After Ma Yin''s death, Gao Tang''s heart has accumulated endless anger.


    Ma Fang clenched his fist and said in a deep voice: "today, Ma Qi invited Liu Xiu, Pang Tong and Kuai Qi to the banquet. I didn''t expect that March would leave me alone. It seems that he is worried about my trouble. "


    Gao Tang said coldly, "brother, we can''t kill Liu Xiu and Kuai Qi. But Pang tong can be killed. After killing Pang Tong, even if Ma Qi knows, it won''t be a big deal. "


    Ma Fang''s eyes were crazy. He had already lost his mind and said, "what can Maggie do if he knows? Even if he killed me, it doesn''t matter. Yin''er is my only son. When I came late to die, I had already lost hope of living. I will never stop Pang Tong. Hateful that Liu Xiu is also an accomplice, but he is too important. Once he dies, the consequences are unimaginable, so he can only kill Pang Tong. "


    Gao Tang nodded and said, "it''s good to kill Pang Tong."


    Ma Fang asked: "brother, have you arranged it properly?"


    With a smile and a confident look in his eyes, Gao Tang said, "don''t worry, brother. Everything has been arranged. Soon, there will be news


    Ma Fang nodded, looking forward to it.


    "Dong! Dong


    Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and a sound outside the room.


    The attendant was anxious and reported in a loud voice: "master, the house in the south of your house is on fire."


    Miso!


    Gao Tang stood up and said: "brother, you are in the yard. Tonight is the day of Pang Tong''s ambush. Now, I''m going to take people to action. "


    Ma Fang nodded and said, "we must succeed."


    "It''s bound to be successful," said Gao Tang


    With that, Gao Tang grabs the sword on the desk, covers his face with black cloth and leaves the room. Ma Fang looks at Gao Tang''s leaving eyes with hope and excitement. In fact, Ma Fang''s strategy is very simple. He set fire to the house in the south to attract people from the Ma family to fight the fire. At this time, no one paid attention to Liu Xiu''s yard. When Gao Tang takes the killer to go, he has a chance to take advantage of it.


    "We must succeed!"


    In Mafang''s eyes, there was a look of expectation.


    ¡­¡­


    Liu Xiu''s yard. After March left, Liu Xiu finished washing and then lay down for a rest.


    It wasn''t long. There was a knock on the door in the yard. Deng Zhan looked anxious and said in a loud voice: "young master, there is a fire in the Ma family. Something big may have happened to the Ma family. You will join Mr. Kuai Qi and Mr. Pang Tong, and they will gather together to avoid any situation. "


    Deng Zhan is very sensitive to the fire.


    It''s very likely that something big will happen.


    Liu Xiu is also very vigilant when he goes out. When he heard the news, he got up, rushed out of the room and quickly called Kuai Qi, Pang Tong and Deng AI together.


    All the people, they''re all coming together soon. At the same time, Deng Zhan, Qiu Bao and Yue Shan, as well as the four soldiers in the yard, were all on guard and dealt with them carefully.


    The fire in the south house is still spreading.


    Liu Xiu listened and heard the noise from the government.


    Suddenly, Liu Xiumei frowned and said, "Deng Zhan, someone is coming towards the yard. Be careful." Liu Xiu''s ear power is very good. He can hear the footsteps from a distance.


    Judging from the sound of footsteps, not a few people came.


    "Da! Dada


    The rapid sound of footsteps, from far to near.


    Soon, a group of people in black came to the gate of the yard.


    Gao Tang covered his face and saw that Liu Xiu and others were on guard. There was a trace of regret in his eyes. If Liu Xiu is unprepared, it will be easier to kill Pang Tong. His eyes fell on Pang Tong with awe inspiring murders.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice, "are you tired of living when you commit a murder in the Ma family?"


    Gao Tang brought 16 killers, all dressed in black. Seeing that there were few people under Liu Xiu''s command, Gao Tang was full of confidence and said, "Liu Xiu, hand over Pang Tong and I will spare you from death. Otherwise, I''ll kill you. "


    In a word, too much information is exposed.


    Liu Xiu laughed, shook his head and said, "are you the one from Mafang? It''s stupid. It''s disappointing that the target is exposed as soon as you speak. If I were you, I would certainly pursue and kill together to avoid revealing flaws. "


    Gao Tang''s eyes narrowed slightly and said, "Liu Xiu, don''t be self righteous, otherwise, you will be affected and it''s not worth it."


    "What''s your name? What''s the relationship with Ma Fang? "


    Liu Xiu''s look was calm without any confusion.


    Gao Tang thought that he had already been exposed and didn''t care so much. He pulled off the silk scarf covering his face and said, "your grandfather will not change his name. His surname is Gao, his name is Tang, Ma Yin''s uncle. Pang Tong killed yin''er and paid for his life. Today, Pang Tong must die. Liu Xiu, let''s get out of the way. "For Liu Xiu, Gao Tang doesn''t want to fight each other. After all, Liu Xiu is Liu Biao''s son. It is said that Liu Xiu''s martial arts are also very good, which is also the reason why Gao Tang is reluctant to face.


    Liu xiudao: "if you want to kill Pang Tong, you must pass me first."


    Gao Tang clenched his sword and said, "Liu Xiu, you can''t blame me for your own death."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "actually, I don''t want to die." A touch of banter appeared in his eyes. Gao Tang seemed fierce, but he was a bit reckless and not smart. Liu Xiu talked with him and kept procrastinating.


    There is a fire in the south of the Ma family. Once the fire is solved, someone will come to Liu Xiu''s yard.


    Gao Tang didn''t realize Liu Xiu''s intention and said, "you hand over Pang Tong, I''ll spare you forever."


    Liu Xiu stopped for a moment and said, "it''s not impossible to hand over Pang Tong."


    GAOTANG eyes a joy, asked: "what conditions?"


    "Boss, Liu Xiu is stalling. Don''t listen to him. Time is running out. Let''s do it now. " Behind Gao Tang, a warrior in black whispered.


    Hearing this, Gao Tang glared at the warrior in black.


    Liu Xiu also heard the words of the warrior in black and said with a smile: "Gao Tang, your subordinates are smarter than you. My condition is either kill me first and Pang Tong will be handed over to you. Either I kill you, Pang tong can give it to you. "


    Gao Tang understood to come over, the other party is to tease him unexpectedly.


    Too much deception!


    Gao Tang looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Xiu, don''t think you are Zhou Mu''s son, I dare not kill you. Today, I''m going to kill you. Kill you and fly away. As long as I leave Jingzhou, what can Liu Biao do for me? "


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "welcome to kill me. I''m afraid you will die if you don''t kill me."


    Gao Tang could no longer suppress his anger. He waved and said, "give me one, and I won''t leave one."


    "Kill


    More than ten killers in black under Gao Tang''s command are killed with their swords.


    Deng Zhan led his six warriors to meet him immediately.


    Yue Shan and Qiu Bao are the best of the Rangers. When they kill the men in black, they are like a tiger into a sheep, and they keep killing the warriors in black. The other four soldiers, who were trained by wenpin himself, were first-class and elite. They were also involved in the killing of Zhou Tai, and their combat effectiveness was extremely powerful.


    Six of them, 16 under Gao Tang''s command, also had the upper hand. The two sides met face to face. In the blink of an eye, half of the people in black died. The strength of the two sides was not at the same level.


    Gao Tang swallows his saliva. He looks at the warriors in black fighting against Deng Zhan and others. He is anxious. His eyes turn and fall on Pang Tong behind Liu Xiu.


    Kill Pang Tong and withdraw immediately.


    At that time, even if Liu Xiu pointed out that Pang Tong was killed by him, the killers were all dead men, and there was nothing to prove.


    "Pang Tong died!"


    GAOTANG cold drink, carrying a sword, quickly rushed to pangtong.


    Deng Zhan finds that Gao Tang''s action is not obstructed, and tries his best to kill the dead in black. He admired Liu Xiu''s swordsmanship even more. He was not Liu Xiu''s opponent, let alone Gao Tang.


    Gao Tang takes the initiative to send him to the door, which is tantamount to his own death.

 Chapter 119

    "Sonorous!"


    It''s as clear as the sound of a dragon''s song. Liu Xiu stood in front of Gao Tang, and his sword came out of its sheath. Under the moonlight, a blue light flowed on the sharp edge of the sword.


    "Dang!"


    Weapons hit, sparks splashed.


    Liu Xiu stood in place, motionless, said: "Gaotang, if I were you, now turn around and go."


    Gao Tang looks at the sword in his hand and finds that there is a gap in the edge of the sword. His heart sinks. He suddenly thinks that the sword in Liu Xiu''s hand is Cao Cao''s sword, Qingchen sword. It''s extremely sharp. It''s a cruel struggle with Liu Xiu.


    "Pang Tong must die!"


    Gao Tang stares at Liu Xiu with a firm look in his eyes.


    "Those who stand in my way, die!"


    Gao Tang''s sword edge in his hand shakes, and then quickly kills Liu Xiu.


    "Stubborn!"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were cold and he went up with his sword.


    "One sword, matchless!"


    Under the moonlight, the blade of the sword is breathing and puffing, and the green sword is passing in the air, bursting out the brilliant light of the sword, which is dazzling. The edge of the sword and Gao Tang''s sword are tinkling with each other. After a short fight, Liu Xiu gave a low drink. The green sword swung open Gaotang''s sword, and the cold light of the sword suddenly pierced out.


    "Poof


    The edge of the sword went forward and pierced Gao Tang''s right shoulder. For a moment, blood flowed like a stream.


    Liu Xiu withdrew his sword and swept it.


    "Pa!"


    The body of the sword slaps on Gao Tang''s right wrist. Under the impact of the force, Gao Tang screams and his sword falls to the ground. A sword light flashed in the air, and the blade of Qingchen''s sword stopped in front of Gaotang''s throat.


    "Your swordsmanship is too weak."


    Liu Xiu shook his head, but he gave a low drink.


    Raise your right foot and kick it out.


    "Boom!"


    With one foot on Gao Tang''s belly, Gao Tang''s burly body fell to the ground and kept moaning and screaming. The pain on his shoulder, at this moment, infinitely magnified, extremely uncomfortable.


    Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and gave him a cursory sweep. Five people in black were still resisting. He said, "Deng Zhan, speed up."


    "No!"


    Deng zhandeling and his six warriors are more aggressive.


    A moment later, the remaining five people, all lying on the ground.


    Deng Zhan came to Liu Xiu''s side and said, "young master, the killers under Gao Tang''s command, nine people were killed, and the rest of them were seriously injured. They have all been controlled."


    Liu Xiu said: "the dead people are thrown at the gate of the yard. The people who are not dead are all tied up."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan immediately waved and ordered Yue Shan and others to take action.


    Liu Xiu looked at Pang Tong, Kuai Qi and others and said, "Mr. Demin, you and Xiao AI should have a rest first. Shiyuan stays. We''ll wait for March in the yard. "


    Kuai Qi was also a little sleepy, so he took Deng AI back to his room to have a rest.


    Liu Xiu and Pang Tong are sitting in the yard, waiting quietly.


    With the passage of time, the fire in the south of the Majia, first the smoke, then the fire gradually reduced, the noise of the house gradually subsided.


    "Step on it! Step on it! Step on it


    The rapid footsteps came from outside the yard.


    March came to the gate of the yard with his five sons under his knees. When March saw the corpse placed at the gate of the yard, and Gao Tang and others bound in the yard, the corners of his mouth twitched and his heart was uneasy.


    When Liu Xiu came to his house, he encountered such a thing, which made the Ma family very embarrassed.


    Ma Fang''s practice is too messy.


    Ma Qi took a deep breath, went to Liu Xiu''s body, arched his hand and said: "Mr. Xiu, what happened tonight has been verified. It was arranged by Ma Fang. In order to avenge Ma Yin, he set fire to the south yard, and then let people attack xiugongzi. I''m really sorry about this. Before, I have ordered Ma Fang not to go out, but I didn''t expect him to find someone to do it. "


    After a pause, March said again, "all this is my negligence."


    Liu Xiu said: "Ma Gong said that. I believe it. What if Ben didn''t resist. What''s the point of Ma Gong apologizing again? "


    March apologized with a cold sweat on his forehead.


    At this time, Ma Liang came to March''s side and said, "Dad, Ma Fang has been brought."


    March nodded, arched his hand and said, "master Xiu, Ma Fang has brought it here. He is not forgiven for his murder of xiugongzi. You can do whatever you want. "


    With a wave of his hand, Ma Fang was brought up.


    Ma Fang was tied up and knelt down under the pressure of his attendants. He looked up at Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Xiu, you can''t die well if you help Pang Tong. You have to die. "


    At this time, Mafang secretly hated.


    I thought the plan would succeed, but I didn''t expect it to fail.


    This result disappointed Ma Fang.He looked at the bound Gaotang, and saw that Gaotang had been dyed red with blood, and was even pale, sighing in his heart. In turn, Ma Fang looked at Liu Xiu again. His eyes were even colder, and he scolded: "Liu Xiu, you can''t die well. When you go to you County, you will surely die without a burial place. You will be killed by random arrows, by random knives, and by thunder."


    "Son of a bitch!"


    When March heard this, he was even more furious.


    "Sonorous!"


    When the sword came out of its sheath, March held it in his hand and stabbed it out with one sword.


    "Poof


    The edge of the sword pierced into the heart of Ma Fang, stirred it hard, and Ma Fang screamed. Immediately, Ma Fang''s body twitched twice, and then fell to the ground without any breath.


    Gao Tang glared and said angrily, "Maggie, you are so cruel to kill the people. Mafang is your brother. You killed your relatives for an outsider. "


    March''s eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "the horse family has raised a group of white eyed wolves like you. What''s the use of them? You don''t even want the family. Does the family want you? "


    Go to Gao Tang''s body, March saber stabs out again.


    A scream, Gao Tang also fell in the pool of blood.


    The rest of the warriors in black soon died in March''s hands.


    Ma Qi then put away his sword and came to Liu Xiu. He arched his hand and said, "Mr. Xiu, what happened tonight is that I didn''t treat you well. I didn''t expect that. Ma Fang and Gao Tang should be damned. Now they have been killed. It''s Ma''s fault tonight, so Ma is willing to pay for it. "


    Liu Xiu looked at the man who fell to the ground, shook his head and said, "that''s all. Let''s call it a day."


    Pang Tong also said: "the damned people are already dead. There is no need to study deeply."


    In fact, both Liu Xiu and Pang Tong know that the Ma family is on Liu Xiu''s side now. Since Mafang is dead, there is no need to further study. Otherwise, it is easy for the Ma family to be dissatisfied, which will affect the relationship between Liu Xiu and the Ma family.


    That''s the truth.


    After hearing this, March bowed himself to thank him. After thinking about it, he said, "there is still a long way to go to you county. Well, the Ma family allocated one hundred private soldiers and presented them to young master Xiu. In this way, young master Xiu has soldiers to protect on his way


    This move is to eliminate the influence of Ma Fang.


    Liu Xiu readily accepted and said, "thank you, Ma Gong. Liu Xiu is very grateful for Ma Gong''s kindness."


    After hearing this, March relaxed.


    After the deal was settled, March ordered his entourage to drag away all the bodies, and then arranged for someone to clean the yard. After cleaning up, March said, "it''s too deep. Master Xiu has a rest early, so I won''t disturb you."


    Liu xiudao: "walk slowly, don''t send!"


    Waiting in the yard, Maggie left the yard quietly.


    Liu Xiu looked at Pang Tong and said, "Shi Yuan, Ma Fang was killed, and Ma Yin is a complete end. Go back and have a rest early. Tomorrow morning, you''ll have to go


    "Well, you too."


    Pang Tong turned and went to the bedroom.


    Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and others and said, "Deng Zhan, let the brothers take turns to watch the night instead of all of them. Otherwise, we can''t live in the daytime. "


    Deng Zhan said with a smile: "don''t worry, I understand."

 Chapter 120

    The fire in Ma''s family subsided, and Liu Xiu''s anger also subsided.


    However, March has yet to rest. Back in the yard, March called Ma Liang to his study. Ma Qi looked at Ma Liang and said, "Ji Chang, tomorrow morning, I will go south with Liu Xiu. Are you ready?"


    Ma Liang looked calm and said, "father, don''t worry, son knows what to do. This time I''m going to you County, I''m sure I''ll work hard and help Mr. Xiu get a foothold in you county. "


    March zhengse way: "conscientious, scrupulous duty, is a minister to do. But people in officialdom, you have to pay attention to a lot, the most important is Liu Xiu''s trust. You can''t stand without his trust. Pang family, Huang family and Kuai family all support Liu Xiu clearly and think that Liu Xiu is bound to rise. The Ma family can''t fall behind. It''s an opportunity for the Ma family to enter Xiangyang. "


    "Son, I understand!"


    Ma Liang nodded, his heart was heavy.


    Liu Xiu, he is also very optimistic, with Liu Xiu, he can also have the opportunity to make a career.


    Ma Qi patted Ma Liang on the shoulder and said, "scholars have the shortcomings of being lofty and proud. You are also a scholar. After you follow Liu Xiu, you can''t have such a bad temper. Do you understand? "


    Ma Liang nodded and said, "father, don''t worry."


    March talked about a lot of things one by one. The two father and son talked in the evening by candlelight and went to have a rest each other very late.


    ¡­¡­


    The next morning, Liu Xiu and his party set out again.


    In the team, Ma Liang and the 100 private soldiers presented by the Ma family were added. Ma Qi saw Liu Xiu and his party off in Yicheng County, but he didn''t continue to see them off.


    The team went out of Yicheng County, and the group continued down.


    On August 26, Liu Xiu and his party arrived at Jiangling County, the seat of Nanjun county.


    When they arrived, the prefect of Nanjun and the magistrate of Jiangling met them in person. On the 27th of August, Liu stayed in Jiangling County for a day.


    It''s much faster to go down the water than to drive on land.


    In one day, Liu Xiu and his party entered the main road of the Yangtze River, then changed the waterway and continued to go south along the Xiang River, a tributary of the Yangtze River. On the afternoon of August 28, they arrived in Changsha County.


    Linxiang county is the seat of Changsha County.


    Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha County, was in Linxiang county. If Liu Xiu wants to go to you County for his post, he must first meet Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha County. Liu Xiu is the magistrate of you County, and Han Xuan is his immediate superior. Liu Xiu must worship the wharf. Otherwise, Han Xuan will feel uncomfortable and it will be very difficult for Liu Xiu to do many things.


    The troops were stationed outside the city. Liu Xiu took Deng Zhan, Yue Shan and Qiu Bao to the city.


    The carriage went straight to the sheriff''s house and finally stopped outside the gate.


    Deng Zhan took the lead in getting out of the carriage, went to the gate of the prefect''s residence, handed over a salutation note, and said, "please let me know that Liu Xiu, the magistrate of you County, has come to see Han Tai Shou."


    "You county magistrate, who? I don''t know. "


    The guard''s Porter, holding his head high, took the post, but didn''t turn around to pass.


    Deng Zhan was also a human spirit. He understood it at once, took out a bunch of five baht money and handed it to the porter. This, the porter''s face, smile, said: "you wait!"


    Liu Xiu got out of the carriage and came to the gate to wait.


    Deng Zhan said: "young master, if you take out the name of Zhou mu, this porter will not dare to be arrogant."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said slowly, "it''s just a little money. It''s no big deal. It''s not the same to meet in the name of county magistrate as father and son. This will not make Han Xuan feel that we are domineering. At least my posture is the officials under him. "


    Deng Zhan nodded and stopped talking.


    "Ha ha ha, my nephew has come to Changsha County. Why don''t I inform you in advance so that I can welcome you in advance."


    The hearty laughter came out first.


    Before people arrive, the voice has arrived first.


    Han Xuan, dressed in a gorgeous suit, strides out.


    When Liu Xiu saw Han Xuan, his face showed respect. The title he handed in the salutation is the following identity. Now, Han Xuan is an elder. There is no doubt that Han Xuan does not intend to put on airs and intends to get close to Liu Xiu. The porter behind Han Xuan was uneasy.


    I thought it was an ordinary magistrate this time, but I didn''t expect a junior of the governor. This time, he hit the edge of the knife.


    Liu Xiu took a look at the porter, then withdrew his eyes and said, "I''d like to see Mr. Yuan Xiu, younger Liu Xiu."


    Han Xuan took Liu Xiu''s hand and said, "come on, follow me into the mansion."


    They entered the mansion and sat down in the hall.


    Han Xuan said, "before that, I had received the news from Pang Gong that you were coming to you county. I thought to myself, when you come to Changsha County, the literati in Changsha County will surely be jubilant. "


    Liu Xiulian said hastily, "Mr. yuanxiu has been praised falsely. It''s just a false name. It''s not worth mentioning."


    Han Xuan said: "it''s rare to stay in Linxiang county this time. This evening, I hosted a banquet in my house and invited scholars from Changsha county to celebrate together. What do you think of me? "Liu Xiumian with a smile, said: "junior listen to the arrangements of Mr. Yuan Xiu."


    Although Liu Xiu didn''t want to participate in Han Xuan''s arrangement, he couldn''t get rid of Han Xuan''s kindness. On the one hand, Han Xuan wanted to introduce the literati of Changsha county to him; on the other hand, it was also an opportunity for Liu Xiu to come to the fore.


    If there was no such relationship as pound, Han Xuan would not have gone to great trouble.


    Han Xuan saw that Liu Xiu agreed, and his face also showed a smile. Immediately, Han Xuan said, "my nephew is the governor of Changsha County and the magistrate of you county. What can I do for you county?"


    Liu Xiu thought about it for a while and said, "I have a black eye on the situation in you county. Please teach me."


    Han Xuan nodded, satisfied with Liu Xiu''s attitude.


    Han Xuan was worried that Liu Xiu was too strong. Now it seems that his worry is superfluous. He slowly explained: "You county borders Yuzhang county. You county is the barrier to the east of Changsha County. Therefore, the main forces of Changsha County are concentrated in you county. The leaders are Liu Pan and Huang Zhong. After you go, you must be careful not to conflict with Liu Pan. "


    "Moreover, because you county is adjacent to Yuzhang County, there are many spies from Jiangdong. At the same time, they often take the opportunity to make trouble. You must be careful when you go to you county. "


    "Recently, you county is suffering from famine."


    Han Xuan said, "the situation in you county is quite complicated. The depression of the people led to years of war. But because of its geographical location, it must be guarded by the garrison. You must be careful. "


    Liu Xiu''s heart sank.


    Unexpectedly, the situation in you county is so complicated. Liu Xiu''s heart is also grateful to Han Xuan. With Han Xuan''s reminder, Liu Xiu''s heart also has a bottom. When he comes to you County, he will not be at a loss.


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "I will remember Mr. yuanxiu''s reminder. Thank you very much."


    Han Xuan waved his hand and said, "it''s all small things. There''s nothing to be grateful for. The main reason is that I have limited energy, and I have too much government affairs to manage the affairs of you county. After you go, how much trouble. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I understand!"


    At this time, Liu Xiu understood that Han Xuan did not intend to interfere in the affairs of you County, so that he had enough space for development.

 Chapter 121

    At night, Han Xuan held a banquet in the prefecture.


    Han Xuan entertained the literati and officials of Changsha County. At the banquet, Han Xuan highly praised Liu Xiu and introduced Liu Xiu''s heroic deeds in Xiangyang and Xu county. After hearing this, the literati in Changsha County praised Liu Xiucai one after another, and even flattered him. They praised Liu Xiucai for his outstanding emotion and ability.


    Now, Liu Xiu is no longer a commoner. With the praise of Cao Cao and the support of Xiangyang families, no one is willing to offend Liu Xiu.


    At the banquet, the atmosphere was lively.


    After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, scholars began to write poems and Fu.


    In this respect, Liu Xiu is undoubtedly an authority, and is inevitably drawn out to write poetry. It is difficult for Liu to follow the time when he wrote poems.


    In this way, everyone was happy.


    The banquet lasted until late at night, and Liu Xiu took a rest in the prefecture.


    The next morning, Liu Xiu got up to wash up. After breakfast, he went to see Han Xuan.


    In his study, Liu Xiu said respectfully, "I am very grateful to you for your hospitality. However, the younger generation is worried about the situation in you county and can no longer stay. I''m going to leave for the south today. "


    Han Xuan did not stop him. He said, "the literati of Changsha County and the officials of Changsha County have a very good impression on you. This is your reputation. You have to remember that this is one of your assets


    These words, then some heart to heart.


    Han Xuan and Pang Degong are close friends, Liu Xiu is Pang Degong''s disciple, and Han Xuan is not shy of advice.


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "Mr. yuanxiu''s teachings are in my heart."


    Han Xuan said, "go ahead. I won''t see you off."


    Liu Xiu bowed again and left the hall. Liu Xiu joined Deng Zhan, went out of the prefecture, went straight out of the city, and then joined Kuai Qi, Ma Liang, and Pang Tong.


    The Party headed for the dock in Linxiang county.


    On board a large ship, Liu Xiu and his party went south along the Xiang River and headed for you county.


    Half a day later, the ship landed in the northwest of you county.


    Liu Xiu and his party went ashore, found a carriage, and formally went to the county seat of you county. After entering you County, Liu Xiu''s team moved on. After walking for half a day, it was close to the county.


    It''s only twenty miles away from the county.


    "Woo!"


    Suddenly, the carriage stopped.


    Deng Zhan drove his horse to Liu Xiu''s body. His eyes were solemn and he said: "young man, the official road ahead is blocked by a group of refugees. The team can''t move forward for the time being. Do you want to order the soldiers to clear the way and drive out the people? "


    All the 100 private soldiers of the Ma family wear steel knives. As long as force is used, it is easy to drive out a group of refugees.


    Liu Xiu lifted the curtain of the carriage door, got out of the carriage and said, "I''ll go and have a look."


    Deng Zhan followed Liu Xiu cautiously and said, "be careful, young master. These refugees are short of food. I''m afraid they will make trouble."


    Liu Xiu nodded and went straight ahead. In a moment, I came to the front of the line. In the middle of the official road, people with shabby clothes, dim eyes and sallow complexion stood in the middle of the official road. They were already groaning and groaning feebly, which was very uncomfortable.


    Among them, the old and the weak are sitting on the ground.


    The middle-aged people who have a little strength constantly ask for a little food.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu felt a twitch in his heart.


    This situation made Liu Xiu feel worse, not because you county was poor, but because the people were suffering. He can imagine how fatuous the last magistrate was, and how poor the people were.


    "Childe, give me some alms. My old mother can''t be happy any more."


    "Young master, please, just a bowl of rice, as long as there is a bowl of rice, my child will be able to survive."


    "Please help us."


    The refugees in the road are full of longing in their eyes.


    "Get out of the way. I want to see you."


    Suddenly, in the crowd, a woman nearly 40 years old rushed out. When she was about to rush up, Deng Zhan stopped the woman and kept her away. The woman''s eyes are eager, staring at Liu Xiu. The eager eyes are even more worrying.


    Liu Xiu waved Deng Zhan back and watched quietly.


    The woman came forward and knelt down on the ground with a plop. Then she looked back and cried out, "san''er, come on up, hurry up."


    Her voice, hoarse and more powerless.


    Her face was sallow, her cheeks sunken, her lips cracked, her eyes dim, and she was skin and bone. At this time, a dirty woman came up. The girl was young, about fifteen or sixteen years old.


    The woman took the girl''s hand and said, "kneel down quickly, kneel down for the master."


    Liu Xiu looked at it, and he was in a panic.


    The hardship of the people made him very uncomfortable. In his last life, Liu Xiu had all kinds of depression, and he was even more dependent on others. But I have never met such a situation that I can''t get enough to eat. When I can''t get enough to eat, all dignity and self-esteem have disappeared. To survive is the best result.This is the simplest rule of survival.


    This is what the people are like.


    The woman looked eagerly at Liu Xiu and said, "young man, look at my daughter. She is only 15 years old and very smart. The little woman has no other requirements. Please take her away. She follows you, and you can beat and scold her, as long as you give her a bite to eat, as long as she can survive. If you want to sell her in the future, you can also sell her at a good price. "


    Liu Xiu stares at the woman and clearly sees the reluctance and desire in her eyes.


    Don''t give up your daughter to leave!


    Longing for their daughter to get rid of the sea of misery!


    Liu Xiu looked at the rest of the people, and all of them looked forward to it. He looked back at Deng Zhan and said, "Deng Zhan, how much food is there?"


    Deng Zhan said: "young master, there are still 100 stone grains." When he left Yicheng County, the Ma family gave away 100 private soldiers and enough rations. Up to now, there are still 100 stone grains left.


    Liu Xiu said, "the team will stop for a while and cook porridge to satisfy them."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan was ordered to turn around and arrange.


    When the people heard this, they all cheered and looked very excited.


    There is still a desire in women''s eyes. She can''t guarantee the next meal after one meal. She didn''t care about herself, but she hoped her daughter would survive, and then she asked, "childe, what about my daughter..."


    Liu Xiu said: "eat first, and then talk about the future."


    After hearing this, the woman looked disappointed and pulled her daughter back, no longer blocking the official way.


    Ma Liang and Kuai Qi get out of the carriage, and they come to Liu Xiu. Ma Liang''s eyes are solemn and worried, and he says, "young man, after one meal, the next meal is short of food. How do you plan to settle it?"


    Liu xiudao: "now, it''s not far from the county. Let them return to the county by themselves. Next, we should seize the time to get to the county and try to solve the food problem. "


    Kuai Qi said: "You county is poor. It is difficult to solve the food crisis. Lord, you have to be prepared. Maybe the food preparation will be very difficult. "


    Ma Liang nodded in agreement with Kuai Qi''s analysis, thought about it and said, "young master, I have an idea."

 Chapter 122

    Liu Xiu looked serious and said, "what do you think of Ji Chang?"


    Ma Liangdao: "the first thing for young master is to solve the current difficulties of the people, so food is very important. I want to take a step first and go to you county to find out the current situation of you county. When you arrive in you County, you will be able to grasp the information at the first time, and then make a response. "


    After thinking, Liu Xiu nodded and said, "yes!"


    "Mount Yue!"


    Liu Xiu turned around and gave orders.


    Yue Shan came up with a hatchet and said, "what can I do for you, young master?"


    Liu xiudao: "to protect Ji Chang, you go to you county first."


    "No!"


    Yue Shan nodded and bowed his hand to Ma Liangxing.


    Ma Liang took some dry food with him, left with Yueshan first, and went straight to the county.


    Half an hour later, the porridge was ready. The steaming porridge gives off a tempting aroma. After bowls of porridge are multiplied out, they are handed to the people. Many people were holding bowls and began to cry excitedly. Some people can''t wait to drink two mouthfuls. Although they are very hot, their faces are full of happiness.


    At this time, a bowl of porridge, is the happiest thing.


    Just food and clothing!


    This is the temporary thought of these people.


    Two pots of porridge, all into the stomach of the people inside, not a drop left.


    Many people''s stomachs are bulging as if they were pregnant in April. Although my stomach was a little sore, I could endure another day or two.


    Liu Xiu came to the common people and looked at everyone. He said in a loud voice, "I''m Liu Xiu, the new magistrate of you county. If you believe me, don''t run away and return to you county. Next, I will try my best to solve the problem of famine. "


    When the people heard this, they all cheered.


    For them, escaping from you county is the most helpless thing. They have no food to eat after leaving you county.


    Stay and have no food.


    But you County, there is no food everywhere, countless people hungry, there is no food, had to flee. As a new county magistrate, Liu Xiu is undoubtedly the best news for the people to solve the food problem.


    "Thank you, my Lord. Thank you, my Lord."


    "Your grace is great, and you will live a long life."


    "My Lord, although my girl is thin, she is really smart."


    One by one, people kowtow to thank one another.


    Liu Xiu''s mood has never been better. He did not linger any longer, returned to the carriage and ordered to continue. The rest of the people followed. The original team of more than 100 people began to become huge.


    Less than eight miles away from the county, the team stopped again.


    Deng Zhan came to the carriage in a hurry and said, "son, it''s not good. This time, it''s a group of bandits who are blocking the way."


    Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows and stepped out of the carriage.


    Following Deng Zhan to the front of the team, Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on the opposite person. There are about 200 people in this group. Each of them has different clothes. The weapons in their hands are steel knives, iron forks, or iron pickaxes


    These thieves are made up of the common people.


    In front of the people, no, it should be said that they are bandits. They are transformed from the people to the bandits.


    Liu Xiu stared at the front and said in a deep voice, "who is the leader?"


    "I am!"


    Opposite Liu Xiu, a tall, ferocious middle-aged man spoke haughtily. Zhuang Biao''s hand, carrying a sharp knife, in the sunshine, the blade of the knife, flashing cold light.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed slightly and said in a deep voice: "I think your clothes should be common people. As long as you are willing to lay down your arms, abandon the evil and follow the good, I will spare you from death and let bygones be bygones. "


    At the beginning, the bandits were ordinary people, but they were forced to make a living and began to plunder. The most terrible thing is that after the wildness in the hearts of these people was released, the bandits soon became real bandits. They committed all kinds of crimes, burning, killing and looting.


    After all, it''s a group of poor people.


    Liu Xiu is not willing to give up if he can save it.


    Zhuang Biao stared at Liu Xiu, but with a big laugh, he said: "boy, have you been kicked by a donkey? I''m still stuck in the door. I''m so naive. Lao Tzu saw that there is a lot of food in your team. Hand over all the grain and get out of the way. I will spare you from death. "


    Since taking a group of people to plunder, Zhuang Biao''s life is more comfortable than ever.


    Now, he likes this kind of day. Although it''s very dangerous, he doesn''t want to go back to the old days because he has wine and meat and can sleep with women freely.


    Liu Xiu looked around the other bandits and said, "all of you, put down your weapons. I''ll let bygones be bygones, or I''ll kill you. "


    However, none of the bandits under Zhuang Biao moved.


    These people are rebellious and unwilling to lay down their arms after tasting the sweetness one by one.Zhuang Biao''s eyes were cold and sneered: "boy, it seems that you are toasting instead of drinking. Today, your grandfather Zhuang, let you know what it''s like to regret. "


    "Come on, give it to me."


    Zhuang Biao yelled, and the people under his command began to slowly approach Liu Xiu''s team.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice, "Deng Zhan, kill me!"


    After Deng Zhan got the order, he raised his iron sword and roared: "kill!" In an instant, Deng Zhan and his 100 private soldiers rushed up directly. The private soldiers presented by the Ma family are all elite. Everyone has armor and is an elite teacher.


    Liu Xiu didn''t step forward and watched the private soldiers kill him.


    In the confrontation between the two sides, a hundred private soldiers cut into each other like chopping melons and vegetables, tearing each other''s defense line, without any pity in their eyes. A group of bandits who have lost their humanity are not worthy of pity.


    Deng Zhan spurted his horse to Zhuang Biao in the blink of an eye. He let out a roar. The sword came out of its sheath and stabbed in the air. Two people a wrong face, Zhuang Biao''s throat, more than a bloodstain.


    "Poof!"


    Blood donation splash, Zhuang Biao directly fell to the ground.


    "Kill


    Deng Zhan drives his horse back and forth, and his sword reaps his life.


    At the same time, the cavalry also killed the bandits.


    The number of bandits is more, but they have no fighting capacity at all and can''t stand fighting. A moment later, they began to flee around, and even began to kneel down and surrender one by one.


    "Don''t kill me. I surrender. I will surrender."


    "I don''t want to kill either. Don''t kill me."


    "I''ll never rob around again. Let me go."


    One by one, the bandits knelt down and cried out to surrender, while the rest of the fleeing bandits, under the cover of Deng Zhan and private soldiers, almost did not escape.


    A fight is just a moment.


    There was blood on the ground, and there were bodies, all of them killed.


    The people behind the carriage, seeing this scene, suddenly cheered, and their eyes were full of joy. Deng Zhan drove his horse to Liu Xiu''s side and said, "young master, what should we do with these surrender bandits?"


    "Kill


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were cold.


    Deng Zhan turned around and ordered that, in an instant, the private soldiers waved their steel knives and all the bandits who knelt down to surrender were killed. The rest of the bandits wanted to fight and were killed without exception.


    There was no pity in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    These bandits have been lost for a long time. Let them go now, and after they leave, they will be plundered again. They are not used to living in poverty and will continue to plunder. Especially after tasting the sweetness, it is impossible to look back.


    Make an example of others!


    This is Liu Xiu''s example to other thieves.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were sharp and he waved: "clean up the battlefield and count the number of people." Half a quarter of an hour later, the number of private soldiers was counted. No one died, only 13 were slightly injured and were being bandaged. Liu Xiu was also very satisfied with the result. The private soldiers presented by the Ma family played a very important role.

 Chapter 123

    After arriving at the county seat, the number of people who went into the city with Liu Xiu increased again. When many people learned of the arrival of the new magistrate, they all held great hope that Liu Xiu could solve the current dilemma.


    In the evening, Liu Xiu asked the soldiers to cook porridge in the city to help the people tide over the difficulties. It''s only one hundred stone grain. One third of it is used in one night. There is not much left.


    At night, the county government.


    In the hall, the county magistrate, the county captain, the chief clerk and the petty officials below all came to see him.


    Xian Cheng is a fat man with a kind smile on his face. His name is Huo Yun, from you County, in his early 50s; Xian Wei is strong and strong, with a face of no smile, his name is Cen Fei, from Yicheng, in his early 30s; his name is Kang He, from you County, with a thin figure and a sad look. He is nearly 40 years old.


    These three people are the most important officials in you county.


    The rest of the officials were introduced by Huo Yun, the county magistrate, and Liu Xiu kept them in mind one by one. But most of the petty officials below followed the advice of the county magistrate, the county captain and the principal.


    After a brief observation, Liu Xiu found that Huo Yunli was superior to Cen Fei and Kang He.


    They have no right to speak in front of Huo Yun.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Huo Yun and said, "Huo Xiancheng, you county is suffering from famine. Can the county government formulate measures to solve it?"


    The smile on Huo Yun''s face was restrained, and he had a helpless look. He said with a straight face: "I''ll tell you that you county is suffering from famine, you county''s humble position, cen county''s captain, Kang Zhubo, and the people in the county government are all anxious and want to solve these difficulties. But there is no way. Now it is not only the people in you County who are suffering from famine, but also the officials in the county government who have not been paid for two months. Officials are like this, not to mention the people. "


    When you open your mouth, you will cry.


    Liu Xiumei frowned, and a touch of discontent appeared between his eyebrows. As a boss, the most disgusting thing is this kind of people who only know how to cry and never propose solutions, especially Huo Yun''s words, with a trace of resistance.


    Liu Xiu asked, "can Cen Xian Wei find a way to solve the famine in you county?"


    CEN Fei''s face was tense, and he didn''t smile at all. He sat in a critical position and said in a straight line: "report back to the county magistrate, you county is suffering from famine on a large scale, and there is no way for you county to be humble."


    In a word, it is very reasonable.


    This attitude made Liu Xiu angry.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Kang He and said, "what about you?" Up to now, Liu Xiu has given up hope. The officials of you county have never considered how to solve the current predicament.


    Kang he worried: "my Lord, the only way is to borrow food."


    "Borrow grain?"


    In Liu Xiu''s mind, however, he did not agree with such a strategy. The word "borrow" means "borrow" and "return". Since we borrow grain, we have to return it. Borrowing food can''t solve the problem at all. If we can''t think of a way to solve the root cause, the famine in you county will continue.


    Liu Xiu came to you county and met with famine.


    If this matter is not handled properly, it will certainly have a great influence on Liu Xiu.


    Now, the key point is to solve the problem and find someone to borrow food. It''s only a short time to let the people through. Once it''s winter time, it''s even more difficult.


    Liu Xiu''s face was calm. He waved his hand and said, "let''s all go down. Let''s all think about how to solve the current dilemma."


    "No!"


    Everyone has to be ordered to step down.


    Liu Xiu was sitting in the hall. The eyes of Pang Tong and Kuai Qi were dignified.


    Liu Xiu asked, "what can I do for you two?"


    Pang Tong said: "childe, I can''t do anything about famine. It''s hard to make bricks without straw. Unless, go to Yuzhang county to rob Jiangdong''s grain. But we don''t have troops in our hands, and we can''t get food. "


    After thinking for a long time, Kuai Qi said: "young master, maybe we can only borrow food to tide over the difficulties according to Kang He''s method for the time being. Try to solve the problem again. "


    "Now, the famine has spread."


    "If it is not controlled, you county will inevitably fall into turmoil."


    With a serious look, Kuai Qi said, "if you borrow food from the merchants in you County, you will have room to turn around after the situation is stabilized. At present, the young master only needs to ensure that the people do not starve to death. "


    Liu Xiu thought about it and said slowly, "I''ve also considered this strategy. However, borrowing grain is not a long-term solution. There will always be times when grain is used up. Once it is gone, the problem will be serious. However, there is a certain truth in your words. Now, food is an urgent problem. "


    "Da! Dada


    Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from outside the hall of the county government.


    Ma Liang, a little tired, strode in with Yue Shan. He went to the hall, respectfully saluted Liu Xiuxing, and then looked at the Yamen officer at the gate.


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he ordered Deng Zhan to send away the Yamen servants around the hall and let the private soldiers garrison.


    Liu Xiu said, "Ji Chang, what information have you got?"


    Ma Liang''s face was dignified, and he said: "young master, the situation is more serious than expected. It can be said that you county is now suffering from internal and external troubles. "Liu xiudao: "make it clear in detail."


    Ma Liang said, "first of all, there are two external worries."


    "The first is the threat from Jiangdong. Jiangdong general Tai Shici is stationed outside Youxian county to compete with Liu Pan and Huang Zhong''s troops. With Liu Pan and Huang Zhong around, taishici will not be able to enter you County in a short time, but there are also threats. "


    "The biggest threat comes from the bandits in you county. There are thieves and bandits in tianlongling in the north of you county. The thief''s first name is Zhu Biao, and there are nearly a thousand thieves under his command. It is said that he is fierce and rebellious, and it is difficult to deal with him. "


    Ma Liang was worried and said: "there are few troops under the command of the young master. It is difficult to encircle and suppress Zhu Biao. This is the biggest threat."


    Liu Xiu said, "there are thieves and bandits in you county. Didn''t Liu Pan go to encircle and suppress them?" Liu Pan had more than ten thousand troops, and Huang Zhong was a strong general. It was not difficult to encircle Zhu Biao.


    Ma Liang shook his head and said, "I don''t know why Liu Pan didn''t send troops. In short, Zhu Biao is the biggest hidden danger in you county. "


    Liu Xiu wrote down Zhu Biao''s affairs and asked, "what are your internal worries?"


    Ma Liang''s eyes were sharp and he said, "the main source of internal worries is Huo Yun, the county magistrate."


    "Huo Yun, on the surface, is loyal to the king and patriotic. In the eyes of the people, he even opens Congpeng from time to time to help the people. But in fact, the largest grain shop in you county is controlled by the Huo family. During the famine in you County, the Huo family was secretly driving up prices and hoarding grain. "


    "As for Cen Fei and Kang He, they have nothing to do."


    Worried, Ma Liang continued: "in addition, many officials in the county government are Huo Yun''s people. It is also very difficult to carry out the childe''s decree. In you County, Huo Yun can be regarded as the local emperor. "


    Liu Xiu said: "the focus now is to deal with Huo Yun."


    Ma Liang shook his head and said, "if you want to deal with Huo Yun, you must have enough evidence. But there is no evidence at all. Moreover, the famine is in the air. If there is no solution to the problem of famine, the position of the magistrate will be threatened. "


    After a pause, Ma Liang continued: "I still have a doubt."


    Liu Xiu asked, "what doubt?"


    Ma Liang said: "maybe Huo Yun and Zhu Biao collude."


    Liu Xiu clenched his fist, and his eyes were cold. If Huo Yun colludes with Zhu Biao, Huo Yun must die, and officials and bandits collude. This is absolutely not allowed.


    After hearing this, Kuai Qi felt his head was bigger and said, "the situation is too complicated."


    Ma Liang said: "the root cause is Huo Yun and Zhu Biao, but now there is the problem of famine. Therefore, it is very troublesome for you to deal with them. If the problems of the common people are not solved for a day, everything is empty talk. As long as the famine is solved and the common people are on the side of the young master, things will be much easier. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "what do Ji Chang think about famine?"


    Ma Liang shook his head and said, "now, unless we open a warehouse for disaster relief, there is really no good way."


    Liu Xiu had a dignified look in his eyes. When he looked at Ma Liang, Kuai Qi and Pang Tong, he had a lot of thoughts. Liu said, "it''s time for today''s work to come up with a solution. You go down and have a rest. I''ll think about it


    "No!"


    The three got up and walked out of the hall.


    Liu Xiu called Deng Zhan again and told him to send someone to protect the three. The situation in you county is very complicated. At this time, we can not compromise Pang Tong and others.


    He went back to the yard and sat quietly, sorting out the information he had today. To solve the famine, to solve Huo Yun and to solve Zhu Biao were all plans Liu Xiu had to implement step by step.


    Sitting alone, Liu Xiu''s mind gradually calmed down.


    After sitting for a long time, Deng AI came to Liu Xiu and said, "young master, it''s time to rest."


    Liu Xiu stood up and said, "I know. I''m going to have a rest." He stood up, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his eyes regained their look. After sitting for a long time, he had a plan to change the status quo in his mind.

 Chapter 124

    Huo family, study.


    Huo Yun sits casually, his eyes are slightly narrowed, and the cold light is twinkling in his eyes.


    Below, sat a group of petty officials of the county government.


    One of them, with a flattering look on his face, said anxiously: "Mr. Cheng, Liu Xiu is the son of Zhou mu. I''m afraid it''s not easy for him to come to you county. In particular, Liu Xiu nodded and said, "in that case, I''m not embarrassed. I don''t want to borrow any more soldiers, but if necessary, brother, could you lend me one or two tiger generals


    Liu Pan said with a smile, "it''s OK. Cai Mao can''t catch the loophole by borrowing one or two people."


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, he had a strong smile and said, "in addition, I have one more thing to ask my elder brother. As for the bandit Zhu Biao in you County, why did you let him go? "


    Referring to Zhu Biao, Liu Pan''s eyes showed a trace of surprise.


    He knew when Liu Xiu arrived in the county. Liu Xiu arrived in you county only yesterday. He found out the situation of you county so quickly. It seems that Liu Xiu is going to attack Zhu Biao.

 Chapter 125

    Liu Pan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "there are two reasons why Zhu Biao of tianlongling didn''t exterminate him."


    Liu xiudao: "I''m all ears."


    Liu Pan said: "the first reason is that the mountain bandits under Zhu Biao are brave and valiant. They are all very valiant. Moreover, Zhu Biao occupies the favorable terrain of Tianlong mountain, which is difficult to encircle."


    "The second reason is that Zhu Biao sends a certain amount of grain every month. My army is stationed in you county. If you only rely on the food provided by you county and the food transported from Xiangyang, it will not last long. I need more food support. "


    Liu Pan said: "the superposition of two reasons, Zhu Biao''s tianlongling, has always existed."


    In Liu Pan''s mind, guarding you county is the most important task.


    To be sure, because of tianlongling, the people of you county were in trouble, but at least Liu Pan''s food was guaranteed, so that he could fully resist the attack of Jiangdong army. If all the troops are defeated and the Jiangdong army invades Changsha County, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.


    Liu Pan''s choice was in favor of Changsha County.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu said, "I understand my brother''s difficulties. However, next I will encircle Zhu Biao of tianlongling. I hope my brother will not interfere."


    Liu Pan said: "I can ignore it, but you need to make up for the lack of food."


    Liu Xiu gave a bitter smile and said, "brother, I''m short of food now. The people are suffering from famine, and I''m borrowing food everywhere. " Liu Pan put the responsibility of grain on him, and Liu Xiu naturally did not want to.


    After all, he was in a mess. If it wasn''t for the grain presented by the Ma family, Liu Xiu and his soldiers would drink from the West.


    Liu Pan said: "I didn''t say that now you are allowed to hand over grain. After you encircle Zhu Biao, the situation in you county will be stabilized. Think again about food. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "it''s not difficult to provide food for my elder brother as long as we can survive the present sufferings."


    Liu Pan thought about it and said, "you should encircle Zhu Biao and be careful of Huo Yun, the county magistrate."


    Liu Xiu was grateful and said, "thank you for reminding me." After a pause, Liu said: "if I have my elder brother, I''ll feel at ease. Brother, I have something important to do, so I won''t stay any longer. "


    Liu Pan said, "since you''re here, why are you leaving so soon. You come here once in a blue moon. Tonight, I''ll hold a banquet in the camp to help you


    Liu xiudao: "brother, when the famine is solved, I will have a drink with my brother. Now you county is really hard for people to drink freely. " In the words, there is a strong worry.


    When Liu Xiu thought of the woman she met when she first arrived in Youxian County, who gave her daughter as a gift. She only wanted her daughter to survive, so she was worried. At this point, he must solve the problem of famine as soon as possible.


    Liu Pan knew that the situation in you county was difficult, and he did not force him to stay any longer. He said in a positive way, "in that case, I will not keep you. The situation in you county is quite complicated. You should be careful and don''t be impulsive. "


    "Thank you for reminding me


    Liu Xiu thanks and gets up to leave.


    After Liu Pan sent Liu Xiu away, he went back to the camp.


    At this time, a tiger general strode in. His body is like an iron tower, burly and vigorous, with a sharp light in his eyes. His age is about fifty, but he is not old at all.


    It''s no one else. It''s tiger General Huang Zhong.


    Huang Zhong arched his hand and said, "general!"


    Liu Pan waved his hand and said, "old general, sit down!"


    After Huang Zhong sat down in the camp, he said with a straight face: "at the end of the day, I heard from the soldiers that the young master Xiu came to the camp."


    Liu Pan said: "just left!"


    Huang Zhong''s eyes twinkled with brilliance, and said: "the situation in you county is a mess, even the roots are rotten. Now, young master Xiu has just taken office. When he comes to the military camp, he will certainly come to ask for help. "


    Liu Pan nodded and said, "the old general has a bright eye. The third younger brother wants to borrow troops on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wants to ask about Zhu Biao in tianlongling. I hope I won''t interfere in Zhu Biao''s business."


    Huang Zhong asked, "how did the general answer?"


    Liu Pan said: "I will tell my third brother that between CAI Mao and him, I will not help Cai Mao deal with him, but I will not send troops to help him stabilize the situation in you county. It''s up to him to do everything. "


    Huang Zhong heard the speech, but he couldn''t help sighing.


    Liu Pan said, "why did the old general sigh?"


    Huang Zhong took a look at Liu Pan and said, "the reason why the general chose not to help each other at least proves that the general is also optimistic about xiugongzi. He also thinks xiugongzi has outstanding ability and can make a career. Otherwise, the general will not risk offending Cai Mao, will he?"


    Liu Pan nodded his head and said, "the third brother is outstanding in literary talent, martial arts and even strategy. Among Liu Qi, Liu Cong and the third younger brother, the ability of the third younger brother is undoubtedly the most outstanding. "


    "Since general pan understood, why not go further? What about doing better? " Huang Zhong sighed: "even the general thinks that young master Xiu is outstanding. Helping him at this time is undoubtedly a timely help."After a pause, Huang Zhong said, "when master Xiu gets a firm foothold in you County, he will send troops to help him. That''s the icing on the cake. The two generals did not help each other. They seemed to be neutral, but actually they had offended Cai Mao. At the same time, Mr. Xiu has your help, but he may not be grateful if you do so. After all, you have the ability to minimize the difficulties, but you have not done so. "


    Liu Pan shook his head and said, "old general, it''s not appropriate to offend Cai Mao now."


    When Huang Zhong saw this, he stopped persuading him. Although Liu Pan is Liu Biao''s nephew, he is not very popular. Compared with CAI Mao, he is far worse. Liu Pan''s unwillingness to offend Cai Mao is also reasonable.


    However, Huang Zhong is very clear that Liu Pan''s clear-cut help Liu Xiu, the result will not be too bad. On the one hand, the pang, Huang and Kuai families would not sit idly by; on the other hand, Liu Pan, who was in charge of the military camp, had a certain right of discourse, and Liu Biao also needed Liu Pan to resist the invasion of Jiangdong when taishici stationed troops at the border.


    For two reasons, Liu Biao may not be able to suppress Liu Pan.


    But Liu Pan couldn''t see through. In other words, Liu Pan saw through the situation, but he was afraid to help Liu Xiu.


    ¡­¡­


    After leaving the camp, Liu Xiu and Ma Liang returned by carriage.


    In the carriage, Ma Liang sighed: "young master, it''s a pity that we can''t get Liu Pan''s help this time. If Liu Pan is willing to help, everything will be easier. The crusade against Zhu Biao will be completed easily. "


    With a relaxed look on his face, Liu Xiu said, "in fact, Liu Pan''s failure to help Zhu Biao is a good result. First of all, we need not worry that Liu Pan will hinder the government affairs of you county. Second, Liu Pan will not interfere in dealing with Zhu Biao. Isn''t that a good result? "


    Ma Liang said, "you are really open-minded."


    "It''s because before I came here, I had considered the worst outcome," Liu said. If Liu Pan stands on our opposite side, the result will be even worse. Now it''s just Zhu Biao and Huo Yun, which is already very good. "


    Ma Liang asked, "young master, what shall we do next?"


    Liu Xiu said: "without Liu Pan''s constraints, we can plan next. After returning to the city, ask Kuai Qi about them, and then take action. "


    Ma Liang''s eyes also showed excitement.


    The carriage drove fast all the way. After returning to the county, it went straight to the county government. As soon as they arrived at the hall, the soldiers said that Pang Tong and Kuai Qi had come back and were waiting in the study.


    Liu Xiu and Ma Liang went straight to the study.


    In the study, the guest and host sit down.


    Pang Tong took the lead in asking, "young master, what''s the situation there with Liu Pan?"


    Liu Xiu said: "Liu Pan chose neutrality instead of helping Zhu Biao. Now, Liu Pan''s problem can no longer be considered. How are you going to get information? "

 Chapter 126

    Kuai Qi looked excited and couldn''t wait to say, "young master, the problem of grain has been solved."


    "Oh, what''s the matter?"


    Liu Xiu was curious.


    Grain is the most important thing. Borrowing grain means that the most critical problem in you county has been solved. With food as the premise, Liu Xiu''s follow-up plan can be implemented, otherwise everything will be in vain.


    Kuai Qi had a strong smile in his eyes and said: "in you County, the largest local shop is controlled by the Huo family secretly. The Huo family can''t support the young master. In addition, there are shops run by Huang Jia, Pang Jia and Kuai Jia. The shops of the three families all agreed to provide food for disaster relief. As for how much food to take out, you still need to negotiate with them. "


    "Good!"


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he couldn''t help cheering. At the most difficult time, it was the help of Pang family, Huang family and Kuai family.


    Liu Xiu couldn''t wait to say: "what about people? I want to see you. "


    Kuai Qi nodded and said, "the shopkeepers of the three shops are waiting in the hall."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "please!"


    Kuai Qi nodded and immediately ordered him to go down.


    Not long after, the shopkeepers of the three shops all came to the study.


    When they saw Liu Xiu, they all looked respectful and said, "see you." For Liu Xiu, the family has given orders to help Liu Xiu and solve his difficulties. In particular, Pang and Huang decided to help Liu Xiu regardless of cost. Liu Xiu asked for food, and they came directly.


    Liu Xiumian with a smile, asked: "three shopkeepers how to call?"


    "The people of Caomin have won the first prize, the Kuai family."


    Feng Yi is of medium build, neither fat nor thin. His eyes are bright, but not arrogant, give people a very kind feeling, let people unconsciously, they have a good impression. This is a man of great ability. Liu Xiu has a judgment in his heart.


    "Cao min, Huang Qi, Huang family."


    Huang Qi used to follow Huang Chengyan. Before Liu Xiu went to you County, Huang Chengyan arranged Huang Qi to you county. The purpose was to help Liu Xiu and make Liu Xiu have a foothold in you county.


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly, and his eyes were gratified. This was the concern of his father-in-law.


    "The grasshopper pangkuan, I''ve seen you before."


    Pang Kuan, as his name suggests, is the widest and fattest of the three. He has a big belly, with a bright smile on his face, just like a Maitreya, which makes people feel very good.


    Liu Xiu was happy and said, "three, please sit down."


    "Thank you, my Lord!"


    The three men arched their hands and sat down in the study.


    Liu Xiu glanced at the three and continued: "I just heard Kuai Qi say that the three are going to support me. I don''t know how much food the shops under the leadership of the three put out for disaster relief? "


    Feng Yide was confident in his eyes and said, "my Lord, the Kuai family has prepared ten thousand stones of grain. At present, ten thousand stone grains are stored in granaries and can be used at any time. "


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, the joy is even stronger. Ten thousand stone grain is already a large sum.


    If people only drink porridge, it will be enough to support them for a long time. For Liu Xiu now, ten thousand stones can be said to be a timely help. Especially now Liu Xiu, ten thousand stone grain is not too much, one stone grain is not too little.


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly, but he didn''t immediately thank him.


    He also has his own plans for food.


    Whether it''s the Kuai family, the Pang family or the Huang family, in Liu Xiu''s view, they must be tied up with interests. Among them, Kuai family, in particular, must have enough interest binding to achieve the most stable effect.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes turned and fell on Huang Qi.


    Huang Qi arched his hand and said, "my Lord, the Huang family has prepared 100000 stone grains. At present, there are 60000 stone grains in the granary of you county. The remaining 40000 stone grains are being transferred from different places and will be transported by water. If it exceeds 100000 tons of grain, the Huang family will try to solve it. "


    "Hiss!"


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he couldn''t help gasping.


    This time, my father-in-law spent a lot of money. It''s just a Youxian county. He used 100000 tons of grain.


    Kuai Qi and Feng Yide looked at each other with a dignified look in their eyes.


    This time, Huang''s grain support far exceeded Kuai''s expectation. On the other hand, Huang Chengyan obviously regarded Liu Xiu as his son-in-law, otherwise he would not be able to support him with such a large amount of food. But now the Huang family has the financial resources.


    The appearance of quyuanli made the Huang family form a huge market in financial resources and channels of various counties. It is not too difficult to allocate 100000 tons of grain.


    Ma Liang sat down and looked at Huang Qi. At this moment, Ma Liangcai felt that he really saw the strength of the Huang family''s support for Liu Xiu, and understood that the Huang family had been tied to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu nodded and looked at Pang Kuan.


    Pang Kuan looked very calm. His smiling face was always full of smile. He said slowly, "my Lord, like Huang family, Pang family also supports 100000 stone grain."


    "Gudong!"Feng Yide''s face was slightly embarrassed and his eyes were shocked.


    Unexpectedly, Pang''s support is so strong.


    In fact, although Qu Yuanli was run by the Huang family, the real benefit was that the Pang family and the Huang family split up. The Huang family earned countless money through Qu Yuanli, and so did the Pang family. It''s just because I''m outside, because I''m worried that the Pang family and the Huang family are fighting, so it''s all the Huang family selling, but I get a lot of money into the Pang family.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu was shocked and moved.


    The Pang family and the Huang family each support 100000 stone grain. Such a large quantity of grain is rare and even more difficult. Even Liu Xiu can be sure that the Pang family and the Huang family will be affected to a certain extent because of the food issue.


    At this moment, Ma Liang and Kuai Qi were even more shocked.


    No one expected that the support of Pang family and Huang family would be so strong.


    Liu Xiu took a deep breath. His eyes swept over Feng Yide, Huang Qi and pangkuan. His mood gradually calmed down and he said slowly, "I thank the Kuai family, Huang family and Pang family for their support. But it is not appropriate for the Kuai family, Pang family and Huang family to provide food for disaster relief unconditionally. "


    Feng Yide turned his eyes and realized that Liu Xiu must have some ideas or plans. He took a look at Kuai Qi, but Kuai Qi was indifferent, without any expression.


    Kuai Qi divides things very clearly. He won''t tell Kuai family about important plans.


    This is the bottom line of his position under Liu Xiu.


    If Liu Xiu tells him something, Kuai Qi immediately tells the Kuai family. To some extent, it will affect Liu Xiu''s layout and even affect Liu Xiu''s plan, so he keeps his mouth shut.


    Otherwise, Kuai Qi will not be able to enter Liu Xiu''s core circle.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes became solemn and said: "the drought in you county has affected countless people and made countless people hungry. Just for disaster relief, it is difficult to achieve the effect, so I plan to open up farms in you county. "


    "First, we should open up mountains and forests and open up new farmland. After working, people can get food. The cultivated farmland was deducted to the Kuai, Pang and Huang families for grain. Other aristocratic families and shops, if they want, can also participate. As long as we take out grain, we can offset the cultivated farmland. "


    "Second, the barren farmland will also be reclaimed and divided. Like the previous one, it is also offset by grain. "


    "Third, part of the cultivated farmland will be controlled by the government and leased to the people for farming. This part of farmland is not in the scope of deduction. "


    "Fourth, newly reclaimed farmland will not be taxed for three consecutive years starting next year. That is to say, after farming, you can get a little more rent for the farmland that people rent. "


    Liu Xiu has a confident smile in his eyes. In order to mobilize a large number of food relief, we should also let the people live through the coming winter. It is impossible to just relieve the disaster, we must let the people have a source of income.


    It was Liu Xiu''s way to provide work for relief and to cultivate land wantonly.

 Chapter 127

    In Feng Yide''s eyes, there was a trace of excitement. He looked happy and said, "my Lord, if the Kuai family wants to buy more farmland, can we increase the grain?"


    Ten thousand stone grain is not the bottom line of the Kuai family.


    Even if there are tens of thousands more stone grain, the Kuai family can also take it out.


    Liu Xiu continued with a smile: "yes, but you have to understand that the cultivated farmland can not be fully offset. So, first come, first served. "


    Feng Yide nodded and had plans in his heart.


    When you go back, write to the owner immediately and let him decide what to do?


    Huang Qi''s eyes were full of excitement. As Huang Chengyan''s lineage, he gave all the 100000 stone grain to Liu Xiu. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu came up with a solution in the twinkling of an eye.


    There is no doubt that the Huang family can make more profits in you County by taking this opportunity.


    Pang Kuan said, "I admire you for your wisdom. It is a blessing for the people of you county that adults govern You county. "


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "shopkeeper Pang has praised me."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "it''s not only a matter of great importance for countless people in you county to work as a relief. This time, it''s also an opportunity for our officials to get rid of the corrupt officials in you county. Next, I''ll have other plans to mix in. Your interests may be involved in this. You should be steady and don''t act rashly. If you have something to do, you can come to me. Do you understand me? "


    Pang opened his mind and thought.


    The three, as the people sent by the major families, are all smart people. Liu Xiu wanted to work as a relief, obviously not only to solve the people''s problems, but also to set a trap for hunting.


    The three nodded and kept Liu Xiu''s warning in mind.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "go down and get ready. Just wait for my notice."


    "No!"


    Feng Yide and others got up and left, and soon left the hall.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes, showing excited look, said: "Liu Pan does not help Zhu Biao, his attitude has been clear. Now, with the support of the Kuai, Huang and Pang families, the grain problem has been solved. Next, we can do the conscription. "


    "Mr. Demin, draw up a notice and post it at the gate of the city. I want to recruit soldiers."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were full of expectation.


    "No!"


    Kuai Qi nodded and immediately went to arrange it.


    Liu Xiu discussed with Ma Liang and Pang Tong about the follow-up plan, and then took actions separately.


    On this day, Liu Xiu, as always, took out grain to open a porridge tent in the city, but still did not announce the news of the work relief. Meanwhile, a notice was posted at the gate of the city.


    Liu Xiu was going to recruit. The news spread quickly in you county.


    Draft a thousand!


    The place of conscription is the barracks in the city.


    Today''s you County, because of the famine, and when the former magistrate was in office, he had no political achievements, which even brought down you County, leaving almost no soldiers in you county. There were no soldiers except a few who guarded the gate.


    Moreover, you county has Liu Pan''s garrison, and the county has no army.


    As soon as Liu Xiu takes office, he will recruit soldiers and master military power. In this period of food shortage, countless people in the county are hungry. Once enlisted, it means that you can have enough to eat.


    For a time, countless people rushed to the gate of the barracks, queuing up to apply.


    With Deng Zhan and Pang Tong, Liu Xiu was responsible for the recruitment of soldiers.


    Kuai Qi and Ma Liang are combing the county government affairs.


    At this time, countless people lined up and wanted to join the army. People from 50 to 60 years old and children from 12 to 13 years old all came in droves. Seeing this scene, Liu Xiu couldn''t laugh or cry.


    These people are not soldiers, they come to the barracks to provide for the aged.


    Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and said, "tell Yue Shan that the age of conscription should be controlled between 18 and 40. No other age. In this recruitment, we need the elite, and we don''t need the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. If it''s a special case, such as those who are not old enough or over, but are brave enough and powerful enough, special consideration can be given. "


    "No!"


    After Deng Zhan got the order, he arranged it immediately.


    Soon, the criteria for selecting soldiers were announced at the gate of the camp.


    Countless old people and children shake their heads and sigh. Many people aged 16 or 17, or 40 or 50, are dissatisfied and even lost. Because having the conditions means that they have lost the chance. However, Liu Xiu''s 100 private soldiers stood in array, and no one dared to cause unrest. In particular, the middle-aged people in their 20s and 30s, who are vicious, are not allowed to recruit and be disturbed, so that no one makes trouble.


    Deng Zhan glanced at the candidates and said, "young man, there are many candidates. Many of them are yellow and thin. Even if they are in the right age, they are still too weak."


    Liu Xiu said: "choose slowly, first choose the age, and then choose one by one. If you''re too old and don''t meet the requirements, just give some food to appease you. ""Da! Dada


    The sound of rapid footsteps came suddenly and quickly.


    Deng AI came to Liu Xiu''s body, arched his hand and said: "young master, the Yamen servant came to report, Huo Yun, the county magistrate, cen Fei, the county captain, Kang He, and many petty officials of the county yamen asked to see him."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "the news of conscription has come out. Some people can''t sit still. Deng Zhan, you are in charge of conscription. Remember, be smart. "


    Deng Zhan said: "don''t worry, my son. I will finish it."


    Liu Xiu nodded, took Deng AI to the carriage and went to the county government.


    In the carriage, Liu Xiu asked, "Xiao AI, Huo Yun asked for a meeting with the officials of the county government. What do you mean by that?" When Liu Xiu deals with government affairs or discusses matters, he allows Deng AI to sit in. However, Deng AI was not allowed to express his views.


    Liu Xiu returned by carriage. He was idle and bored, so he took the exam.


    Deng AI thought for a moment, and his young face showed a trace of sophistication that didn''t match his age. He said with a straight face: "young master, Xiao AI thinks Huo Yun is worried about the threat to him when he has an army. Therefore, Huo Yun gathered so many officials to stop the recruitment. "


    Liu Xiu asked again, "what''s the way to stop it?"


    After thinking for a moment, Deng AI shook his head to show that he didn''t know and couldn''t figure out the specific reason.


    After listening carefully, Liu Xiuhui thought carefully


    Deng AI nodded and continued to think.


    Back to the county government, Liu Xiu took Deng AI to the hall. At this time, Huo Yun, cen Fei, Kang He and other officials all took their seats in the hall. See Liu Xiu stride forward, Huo Yun quickly get up to salute.


    Liu Xiu waved and said, "sit down!"


    When they sat down, Liu Xiu looked at Kuai Qi and Ma Liang below, then looked back at Huo Yun and said, "Huo Xiancheng called the officials of the county government. What''s the matter?"


    Huo Yun asked: "I heard that the county magistrate is recruiting soldiers."


    Liu xiudao: "there is such a thing."


    Huo Yun''s face, showing a worried look, said in a deep voice: "the county government has no money, how can it afford so many soldiers? It''s easy to recruit soldiers, but it''s difficult to support them. Please think twice. "


    Liu Xiu said without hesitation: "soldiers who have food are willing to join the army. So, in a short time, there is no problem. When the situation in you county improves, it''s OK to pay the soldiers again. "


    Huo Yun eyes a bright, heard the food things, said: "the county magistrate said that as long as they have food to eat, there is no problem?"


    Liu xiudao: "right!"


    Huo Yunli immediately asked, "did the magistrate raise grain?"

 Chapter 128

    Liu Xiu stares at Huo Yun. His clear eyes seem to be able to see through everything, which makes Huo Yun''s heart thump. Suddenly, there is a trace of uneasiness. In his heart, he thought that Liu Xiu had no power in you county. All the petty officials in the county government listened to him. Cen Fei and Kang he didn''t dare to interrupt. Why should they be afraid of Liu Xiu?


    Huo Yun raised his head, looked directly at Liu Xiu and regained his composure.


    But Liu Xiu began to laugh and said slowly, "I have sought opportunities in many ways, and I have indeed raised food. However, the grain is not given away, it is borrowed temporarily. "


    Huo Yun asked, "who did the county magistrate borrow grain from?"


    Liu Xiu looked old and calm, and replied, "there are three families borrowing grain: Kuai family, Pang family and Huang family in Xiangyang. These three families have shops in you County, and I borrowed some grain from them. "


    Huo Yun sneered in his heart that the three families could not lend too much food.


    In this regard, Huo Yun is not hopeful.


    Huo Yun showed a trace of irony in his eyes and said: "dare to ask the county magistrate, how much grain did he borrow?"


    CEN Fei, Kang He and the rest of the petty officials looked forward to it. As long as the county government has food, it means that their life will be better.


    Liu Xiu''s face was calm and said, "in total, he borrowed 200000 stone grains."


    "Ah


    Huo Yun exclaimed, and suddenly took a cold breath. He looked shocked and even more incredible.


    Two hundred thousand tons of grain is not ten or twenty thousand jin of grain. Two hundred thousand stone, there are several million jin of grain. With so much grain, it is easy to stabilize the famine in you county.


    CEN Fei''s face was numb, and his eyes were completely dull.


    The number given by Liu Xiu was too large, which shocked him.


    Kang he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, also staring at Liu Xiu. He put out his hand and squeezed it on his thigh. All of a sudden, he showed his teeth in pain. At this time, Kang he reflected that Liu Xiu''s words were true.


    Kang He''s eyes gradually changed when he looked at Liu Xiu. There was a faint fear and awe in his eyes.


    From the analysis of the situation of borrowing grain, we can see Liu Xiu''s energy.


    The rest of the petty officials were also shocked. In the discussion, the eyes have changed one by one. When looking at Liu Xiu, it is no longer the previous neglect, but the real awe.


    Huo Yun''s eyes swept, and when he saw this scene, he thought, "it''s impossible to have so much grain. Maybe Liu Xiu did it on purpose to frighten the petty officials in the county government."


    On this thought, Huo Yun thinks it should be like this.


    In Huo Yun''s opinion, the 200000 stone grain Liu Xiu said must be false. He said it very well. It is not known how much grain there is.


    Huo Yun said: "county magistrate, 200000 stone grain is not a small amount. Are you wrong? In fact, there are only 20000 stone grains. "


    Liu Xiu looked calm on his face and said, "it''s not wrong. It''s 200000 stone grain."


    Huo Yun asked, "where''s the grain?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "grain has arrived in the granaries of Huang, Kuai and Pang families. "Well said!"


    Liu Xiu''s face was full of excitement.


    Huo Yun sneered in his heart. The news that Liu Xiu came to you county to seek Yuzhang county had already spread. As long as Liu Xiu is happy, he has more opportunities to control the grain.


    At this time, Huo Yun felt that it was easier to control Liu Xiu.


    As long as you do what you like, everything is easy to operate.


    In Huo Yun''s view, Liu Xiu is an ignorant boy who has never experienced any big storms. He was very excited at the thought of 200000 stone grain.


    Huo Yun once again said, "my Lord, the role of a subordinate is to help you do a good job in internal affairs. What you are doing is a great thing. If you have everything ready for you, you will not be constrained. "


    Liu Xiu nodded with satisfaction and said, "what Huo Xiancheng said is reasonable."


    However, in Liu Xiu''s heart, he also sneered. Huo Yun, an old fox, was really open-minded when he saw money. Before he came, he was cold faced. When he saw the grain, he couldn''t help it.


    Huo Yun a pair of loyal appearance, way: "adult, grain to the next officer to deal with it, you don''t have to worry."


    Liu Xiu said: "the grain of the three families is expected to arrive in 15 days at the latest. Don''t meddle in the food business for the time being. They won''t sell your face, just buy my account. Half a month later, I''ll take over all the grain, and you''ll manage the grain. "


    In Huo Yun''s heart, there are a thousand wishes.


    He didn''t want to deal with the three families to avoid trouble.


    If Liu Xiu wanted to, he would give it to Liu Xiu.


    Huo Yun said with a smile: "your words are very reasonable. After all, the three families need you to deal with them. We agreed that it would be half a month, and after half a month, the lower officials would take over the management of grain. "


    Liu Xiu said, "yes!"CEN Fei and Kang he can''t help sighing.


    Seeing this, a group of petty officials changed their eyes when they looked at Liu Xiu. One by one, they secretly shook their heads and felt that Liu Xiu was too young to be Huo Yun''s opponent. Three or two words, Huo Yun was fooled, it is not mature enough.


    Liu Xiu, regardless of the views of petty officials, waved: "the problem of grain has been solved. Now, let''s talk about the problem of the people."

 Chapter 129

    Huo Yun looked loyal and said, "what''s your plan? That''s the order. "


    Other petty officials also agreed.


    It was less than two days since Liu Xiu arrived in you county. It seems that all the officials in the county government have complied with Liu Xiu''s orders. Liu Xiu sat at the top, his face showing a trace of complacency, rather proud.


    CEN Fei shakes his head in his heart. He has foreseen that the grain will be transferred by Huo Yun in half a month.


    Kang he opened his mouth, and when he saw Huo Yun, he lowered his head.


    At the moment, after observing Liu Xiu''s expression, Huo Yun felt quite certain that he would definitely eat Liu Xiu. In his mind, he had thought it over. Half a month later, all the grain was handed over to him. Another chance was created for Zhu Biao to take the mountain bandits of Tianlong mountain down the mountain and take away all the grain, and the grain became his.


    Huo Yun said: "your order is the direction of execution. Please give your order."


    The appearance of the dog legs made a lot of petty officials blush. At the same time, these people''s hearts are cold, they know Huo Yun situation, absolutely cruel.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Huo Xiancheng, you misunderstood. It''s not an order, it''s an opportunity for you."


    Huo Yun said, "please show me."


    At this time, Huo Yun''s heart, is also a burst of curiosity, thinking Liu Xiu what to do?


    Liu Xiuse said: "we already have grain. 200000 stone grain is enough for disaster relief or whatever. However, the real disaster relief is not to distribute much food to the people, but to let the people get something beneficial, which can completely solve the current famine problem. "


    "Therefore, I decided to give relief to the workers."


    "The county government will issue a notice to recruit the people of you County, which will be organized by the county government to cut down woods, open up new farmland and implement the method of opening up farmland."


    "People who participate in the development of farmland can get food."


    "Some of the farmland that has been opened up will be bought by the rich businessmen and gentry in you county. The way to buy it is very simple. You can use grain to offset it or use money to buy it. "


    "With food and money, relief can continue."


    "At the same time, people can also get food or money if they take part in opening up and farming farmland."


    Liu Xiuyue said that he was more excited and said: "as long as we get through this year''s difficulties, next year, the people will have a better life. In addition, I intend to exempt the newly opened farmland from taxes, which will also stimulate the gentry who purchase farmland. "


    "As for most old and weak women and children, they can take part in some light things."


    "In short, it is to eliminate the impact of famine."


    Liu Xiu clenched his fists and said: "I believe that as long as we unite as one, we will be able to get through the current difficulties. The reason why I told you this news is that if you are willing to buy farmland, you can pay for food or money deduction. "


    Gudong!


    Huo Yun swallowed his saliva and his eyes were full of gold.


    Opportunity!


    Huo Yun saw the opportunity again!


    His move to open up farmland is an opportunity for him to make a profit. As long as he is in charge of the grain offset farmland, or money to buy farmland, then he can make a profit and earn a lot of money. At the same time, he can also purchase farmland and expand the family business of the Huo family. Huo Yun won''t show up, but he can let the Huo family show up.


    Huo Yun said: "my Lord, the reclamation of farmland is also very complicated and meticulous, which will delay a lot of time and consume a lot of energy. It''s better to leave it to the next officer. Most importantly, it will take another half a month for all the food to arrive. During this period of time, it''s too wasteful for me to be idle. I''m just helping adults with their affairs. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Huo Xiancheng really knows me. I''ll wait for you. Well, at the beginning, I planned to deal with it myself, but Huo Xiancheng is so sensible, which is rare. "


    Huo Yun smiles in his heart. He says that you are such a fool. It''s so deceiving. He looked humble and respectful, and said, "my Lord has praised me falsely. I''ve just sat down to do what I should do."


    Liu Xiu said: "but I also have another layer of consideration, so many things on your body, is not too hard Huo Xiancheng."


    Huo Yun heard the words, and his heart was cold.


    It''s a great thing. He looks at it eagerly. It''s not hard at all.


    Huo Yun was worried in his heart, and even said: "my Lord, I don''t work hard at all. It''s my duty to serve the adults and pay for you county. "


    Ma Liang looked in his eyes and laughed in his heart. He thought Liu Xiu was wilting, and he played Huo Yun around.


    Kuai Qi was also filled with emotion. People died for money and birds died for food. Huo Yun is an old fox, but no matter how cunning he is, he will be dazzled when he sees the benefits. Now Huo Yun is just like that.


    Liu Xiu is to let Huo Yun be dazzled by the interests and dazzled. Huo Cheng said: "it''s too hard for you to be transferred by the county magistrate."Huo Yun''s heart is about to curse his mother. He thinks that Liu Xiu''s mother is full of troubles.


    I''m willing to work hard, can''t you just do it? She''s a woman, like a woman.


    Huo Yun couldn''t scold him. He just pretended that I didn''t work hard and said, "my Lord, I really don''t work hard. This is what I should do."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Huo Xiancheng, I have an idea. It may be feasible."


    Huo Yun said: "please speak, my Lord!"


    Liu Xiu said: "it''s a big event to open up farmland. We can''t be careless, let alone short of manpower. My idea is that although Ma Liang I brought is not very old, his ability is quite good. This time, he was given some experience. He was responsible for recruiting people to reclaim farmland, and organizing and arranging people to reclaim farmland. "


    Huo Yun a listen, not involved in the sale of farmland, said: "adult wise, very thoughtful."


    It''s really that he can''t always oppose it. He''s worried that he''ll annoy Liu Xiu.


    Therefore, we can only promise, and what Ma Liang is responsible for is not the most important link.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Kuai Qi, another Counselor under my command, is quite mature and prudent. He is very principled and suitable for managing food. Therefore, I intend to let Kuai Qi manage the distribution of grain. After a busy day, he is in charge of the distribution of grain. In this way, the people who receive grain will not suffer losses. "


    Huo Yun frowned slightly, a little reluctant. The distribution of grain is a profitable official position. The amount of grain depends on the person who distributes it. But Liu Xiu put it forward, Huo Yun could not refuse.


    "We haven''t touched on the most critical point yet. Don''t worry. Wait a minute."


    Huo Yun took a deep breath and nodded his head again: "you are right. Let Kuai Qi do this."


    Liu Xiu thumbed up and said, "Huo Xiancheng is reasonable. I''m going to leave the last link to you. You County gentry, they come to pay for food or money to buy farmland, you do it yourself. You don''t have to report this to other people, just report it to me directly. "


    Huo Yun after listening, in the heart smile blooms.


    Finally, I got it.


    The opportunity to make money has come again. This time, we must make a lot of money.


    Huo Yun''s face showed a look of admiration, and he arched his hand and said, "your thoughts are too clear. From recruiting people, to organizing people, and letting people reclaim farmland. Then, to the distribution of grain, and the sale of farmland Everything is clear, simple and easy to operate. It''s a blessing for the people to come to you county. "


    Liu Xiu''s face was taut, but there was a trace of pride in his face. He nodded and said, "Huo Xiancheng praises my official too much. It''s a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."


    Huo Yun sneers in his heart. Your smile is almost too tight. It''s not worth mentioning? I''m afraid I''m not so happy.


    Liu Xiu continued: "Huo Xiancheng, you can publicize the business of farmland in advance and see the repercussions. Next, I''ll put up a notice immediately, and then you can negotiate with the major businesses and gentry. "


    "No!"


    Huo Yun''s heart is already hot.


    At this moment, Huo Yun thinks Liu Xiu has some ability to come up with such a good plan. It''s a pity that everything Liu Xiu did made wedding clothes for him.


    Liu Xiu waved and said, "do you have anything else to do? If they don''t, they''ll all step back. "


    "I''m leaving!"


    Huo Yun no longer stays and leaves.


    The rest of the officials bid farewell to Liu Xiu and left behind Huo Yun.

 Chapter 130

    In the study!


    Liu Xiu, Kuai Qi, Ma Liang, Pang Tong, Deng AI, guests and hosts were seated.


    Facing his own people, Liu Xiu''s arrogant look disappeared. He tapped the desk with his right hand and said slowly, "Huo Yun has entered the urn now. It is impossible for him to swallow the 200000 stone grain completely. The only way is to contact Zhu Biao. "


    "Only half a month is enough for Deng Zhan to recruit and train an army."


    "Half a month later, there will be an opportunity to deal with Zhu Biao."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were sharp, and he continued: "the interests of reclaiming farmland have also moved Huo Yun. Now, Huo Yun has been a little bit into the pit, unable to extricate himself. Opportunities have gradually emerged. "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "Mr. Demin, Ji Chang and Shi Yuan, contact the three families and let them participate. The next plan is also to tell them, so that they can have a good sense of propriety and don''t show any flaws. "


    The three nodded, looking forward to it.


    Deng AI looked thoughtful and carefully combed everything he saw.


    Kuai Qi said: "young master''s clever plan, Huo Yun will be defeated this time."


    Ma Liang said with a smile, "now, I''m going to prepare for farming. It involves countless people. Everything needs to be arranged as a whole. It''s not an easy thing. "


    Liu Xiu said, "go down and get ready."


    Everyone must be ordered to leave and go down to do their own business.


    With the development of tuntian, too many things have piled up and need to be dealt with. Kuai Qi, Ma Liang, and even Pang Tong were too busy to rest.


    ¡­¡­


    Huo family, in the mansion.


    Huo yunduan is sitting in his study, writing a letter.


    His writing style is quick and fast, and a letter is soon completed. Huo Yun sealed the letter with fire paint and handed it to the housekeeper. He said, "give it to Zhu Biao immediately. Let him be ready and wait for my news at any time."


    "No!"


    The housekeeper took the letter, turned and left the study.


    Huo Yun sat alone in his study and muttered to himself, "200000 stone grains, plus the cultivated farmland. Ha ha, good. It''s all money. Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, you are really a money boy. You are my lucky star. "


    For Liu Xiu, Huo Yun is now the God of wealth.


    As long as Liu Xiu is there, he can make a steady stream of money and put it into the Huo family''s treasury.


    ¡­¡­


    After the news of conscription came out, you county was shocked. Only this time, only a thousand soldiers were recruited, which made countless hungry people sigh in their hearts. In particular, the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled in you county are even more disappointed. Fortunately, the four gates of you County, as well as the city''s each out, are all opening porridge awning, so that the people will not starve to death.


    Less than a day later, another notice was pasted at the gate of the city.


    The people at the gate of the city gathered around.


    "Tell me quickly, what''s on the notice, is it going to recruit people to work again?"


    "Will there be more recruits?"


    "Damn, is there no one who can read? A man who can read will read it to everyone. "


    The onlookers were shouting.


    The people layer by layer have completely formed a human wall.


    "Come on, let the people in front let me know the words. Let me go in and read them. I''ll read them." A poorly dressed scholar came over. He pushed inside and called out at the same time.


    When the people around heard this, they made way one after another.


    After a while, the scholar went into his mouth. Standing under the notice, the scholar shook his head and looked down. The more he looked, the more surprised he was.


    Tuntian!


    The new county magistrate wants to open up the land!


    After reading it, the scholar turned to look at the people around the city wall, raised his hands and pressed them down, indicating that all the people would be quiet. For a moment, there was silence.


    All the ragged, dark yellow people were staring at the scholar.


    "Cough! Cough


    The scholar coughed twice and said in a loud voice, "the notice says that the county magistrate has borrowed 200000 stones of grain."


    "Boom!"


    In an instant, the people directly opened, countless people cheered.


    Two hundred thousand shekels of grain, millions of Jin of grain, too much, too much, easy, you can solve the current famine in you County, solve the plight of the people.


    The common people make a noise, and the scholar''s face collapses. He waves his hand and roars: "it''s all quiet. I''ve just said the beginning. If you panic, please calm down and listen to me." He cried loudly, but the people cheered, the voice of a wave higher than a wave, easily drowned the scholar''s voice.


    After a long time, the people in front of them responded.


    One by one, the people vied to remind each other that the scene of the uproar gradually quieted down.


    The scholar looked excited and continued: "the county magistrate said that if you want to get food, you want to eat rice. Tomorrow morning, sign up outside the East, South, West and north gates of the county. Adults should open up farmland and recruit people to open up farmland. Everyone gets a liter of food every day when they finish their work. "This word, countless people, and boiling up.


    For a family, a liter of grain, whether coarse or fine, can at least ensure that the family will not starve to death. With the shouts, countless people began to shout Liu Xiu''s name again.


    When the scholar saw this scene, his face became cold again. He looked at the cheering people, gently shook his head, simply no longer speak, quietly waiting.


    After a while, the people were quiet again.


    A pair of eyes fell on the scholar''s body, quietly waiting for the scholar to speak.


    "Keep cheering, keep making noise, I won''t say, what do you do? Hum


    The scholar had a black face and glared.


    The people in front of him laughed and said, "Sir, everyone is too excited. Be considerate. Alas, they are all ignorant people. Don''t be angry. "


    Another common people said: "Sir, speak quickly. We are in a hurry. The county magistrate''s notice is too timely. "


    One by one, the common people looked at the scholar with an expectant look in their eyes.


    The scholar''s mouth rose, and his heart was immediately satisfied. He said, "remember, don''t interrupt again. When I''m finished, it''s not too late to cheer."


    The people in the front row spread the scholar''s words.


    Everyone, nod in unison.


    The scholar held his head high and continued: "the county magistrate also said two things. The first thing is that strong people can take part in the logging and open up new farmland. These people, out of the daily liter of food, can also get extra subsidies, or meat, or game, or extra food. "


    After hearing this, the people were very excited.


    Eating meat, this is how far away things, to be able to fill the stomach, is God''s blessing.


    One by one, they look at the scholar and wait for him to continue.


    The scholar continued: "those who are not strong will reclaim the desolate and disordered land. The land is easy to reclaim, so there is no extra subsidy, only one liter of grain. "


    The common people nodded and kept it in mind, thinking that they must take part in deforestation.


    the scholar waved his hand and said, "in addition, the county magistrate also needs to recruit people who can read and count to manage farming for the county magistrate. Tomorrow morning, people who can do arithmetic can sign up. "


    At this point, the scholar''s eyes showed a look of excitement, which was clearly set up for people like him.


    "Sign up early tomorrow morning, remember clearly, OK, it''s all gone."


    The scholar waved and the people scattered in twos and threes to deliver the news. They all want to let people close to them or their relatives know and prepare to sign up early tomorrow morning.


    In you County, the news of recruiting people in tuntian has spread.


    Countless people rushed to tell each other, and the people around them also came to the county town one after another to participate in the farming.

 Chapter 131

    In the early morning of September, the sky is fresh and comfortable.


    You County East, South, West, North Square gate, there have been countless people waiting in line. The faces of the common people were thin, but their eyes were excited. The common people were arguing with each other, and the scene was like a vegetable market.


    "Da! Dada


    A sudden sound of footsteps rushed out of the south gate.


    More than 20 soldiers rushed out quickly.


    After that, Ma Liang came. After seeing the situation outside the south gate, Ma Liang was shocked. Outside the city of Nanmen, all the people are black.


    Roughly speaking, there are 5000 or 6000 people.


    The real number should be more.


    Ma Liang arranged that the officials who had already got the task to recruit people separately. The people who reclaimed ordinary farmland did not need to be inspected, they only needed to be visually inspected by the recruiters.


    When it comes to the people who cut down trees, there is a strong bow and a stone of 60 Jin to test the strength of the people. It takes a certain amount of physical strength to cut down trees. Ma Liangcai specially set up a test.


    As registration began, soldiers organized people to queue up and began to register one by one.


    The scene is lively and full of vitality.


    When Ma Liang saw that the registration of the south gate was on the right track, he went to the east gate, the north gate and the west gate. When the four gates were on the right track, he went to the county office to report the news to Liu Xiu.


    Then, Ma Liang hurried back to the scene again to direct the inspection.


    Recruiting people is not a trivial matter.


    Mistakes in any detail may lead to conflicts and affect the important task of farming. Therefore, Ma Liang is extremely careful. One day later, Ma Liang''s voice was hoarse, and he was even more tired. He took the collected data and came to the study of the county government.


    After a salute to Liu, Ma Liang sat down.


    Liu Xiu noticed Ma Liang''s state and said: "the most important thing is that it can reduce your workload. People in charge of each team can be given more food. After all, they have done more. In a word, make the task clear and arrange it one by one. All you have to do is manage people. Let the people below do the specific things. "


    After hearing this, Kuai Qi was even more impressed.


    Liu Xiu is young, but he can handle things with great sophistication, which makes Kuai Qi ashamed. He wrote down Liu Xiu''s suggestion and improved the whole plan after he went back.


    Liu Xiu and the three discussed the arrangement for tomorrow, and it was not until late at night that it was completely over.

 Chapter 132

    The next morning, Ma Liang, Pang Tong and Kuai Qi performed their respective duties and formally commanded the people to reclaim farmland.


    The vast flow of people, from the East, South, West, North Square gate.


    In the hands of the people, many brought their own farm tools. Even if there are no farm tools, there are farm tools issued by the government to ensure that everyone can work. This morning, Pang Tong, according to his plan, first picked out the literate scholars and asked them to group according to the list.


    After the people were divided, they formed groups and became their own small groups.


    When Pang Tong was busy, Ma Liang also took people to sprinkle lime on the boundaries of the mountain forests, divide the areas, and then arrange them.


    Kuai Qi is responsible for the distribution of grain. He contacts the Kuai family, Pang family and Huang family, and arranges for people to pull out carts of grain and put them on the official road.


    When working people see food, they are even more motivated.


    All the arrangements are ready, and the people go to their respective areas under the leadership of their respective team leaders.


    The scene of intense labor unfolded in you county.


    Liu Xiu took Deng AI and inspected everything. Seeing that everything was going on in an orderly way, he was relieved. From now on, people''s famine can be further alleviated. As long as we get through this year, we will get better together. The most important thing is that if so much farmland is reclaimed this year, a large number of people will be required to cultivate it next year, and the people will not worry about not having farmland to cultivate.


    Back in the city, Liu Xiu went to the barracks.


    In the barracks, Deng Zhan''s recruitment of soldiers is still in full swing.


    In the first primary election, Deng Zhan selected 10000 people, all of whom met the assessment of their age and were quite tough. Then, Deng Zhan screened again.


    When Liu Xiu came to the barracks, Deng Zhan was assessing.


    Seeing Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan came up in a hurry and said: "young master, now we have reached 6000 people''s assessment and screening, and each of the 4000 people who have just been eliminated has three liters of grain. Next, I''m going to screen 3000 people, and then I''m going to screen 1000 people. It is expected that the selection of soldiers will be completed the day after tomorrow at the latest. "


    Liu Xiu nodded his head and said, "we should also find out the roots of the soldiers. We can''t mix in spies."


    Deng Zhan said: "don''t worry, young master. I''ll find out."


    Liu Xiu added: "another thing, half a month later, there will be war. Therefore, we should form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. The 100 private soldiers presented by the Ma family are very elite. We can take them as the standard, or let the 100 elite participate in the training and train with the recruits. The speed will be faster. "


    Deng Zhan nodded and kept Liu Xiu''s arrangement in mind.


    Accompanied by Deng Zhan, Liu Xiu made a tour, then left the barracks and returned to the county government.


    Just after returning to the county government, the soldiers reported that Huo Yun wanted to see him.


    Liu Xiu took a seat in the hall. Not long after, Huo Yun came to the hall. Huo Yun was dressed in a black robe, and his clothes were properly trimmed. When he saw Liu Xiu, he arched his hand and said, "I''ll see you, my Lord."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Huo Xiancheng has come to the county government. What''s the matter?"


    Huo Yun said: "in reply, my Lord, I contacted several squires in you County yesterday. They were very interested after the lower officials told us about the matter. They also said that it was a good thing for adults to cultivate farmland for the benefit of the people. No matter whether the farmland is fertile or not, they have to buy land to support adults. "


    "Good!"


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, he was excited.


    Looking at Huo Yun''s eyes, he seemed more satisfied and praised: "Huo Xiancheng, well done."


    Huo Yun was proud in his heart and said: "you are so successful. It''s too easy to cheat. I''ve got a couple of people to play, and you''ve got it. "


    In fact, Huo Yun is also worried that Liu Xiu will suddenly change his mind. Therefore, he should let Liu Xiu rest assured. After thinking about it, Huo Yun found several squires to see Liu Xiu and let Liu Xiu completely delegate power.


    Huo Yun looked respectful and said, "my Lord, the squires have already arrived at the county government. Now they are waiting outside. Why don''t you take some time out of your busy schedule to meet them. "


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu nodded and looked forward to it.


    Huo Yundang immediately gave orders to go down. Shortly after, a group of people came in. All the people who came here were wide and fat, and almost none of them were thin.


    When they saw Liu Xiu, they all bowed their hands and looked like they respected him.


    Liu xiudao: "everyone, please sit down."


    When they were seated, Liu Xiu asked directly, "do you want to buy farmland? Do you want to use grain to offset it or directly use money to buy it?"


    "My Lord, there is not much grain in the family, so I plan to buy land with money."


    "My Lord, I''ll buy it with my money."


    "My Lord, I will use grain to offset it."


    The squires spoke one after another with admiration on their faces.


    In his eyes, Liu Xiu was more happy and complacent.


    This curtain falls in Huo Yun''s eyes, Huo Yun''s heart is more stable.Huo Yun turned his eyes and said: "county magistrate, these are the first people who intend to buy farmland. Next, there will surely be more people buying farmland. At that time, I''ll bring other people to see you. Please check


    Liu Xiu changed his mind and understood Huo Yun''s intention.


    Huo Yun did this to reassure him and even more to let him delegate power.


    Huo Yun, an old fox, is not simple.


    Liu Xiu, trusting Huo Yun, waved: "Huo Xiancheng, don''t make so much trouble. I don''t worry about your work. Get in touch with the people who buy the land, and you can handle it. The grain and money received are directly put into the warehouse without reporting. I''ve been so busy these days that I don''t have time to ask about you any more. "


    In Huo Yun''s eyes, there was a great joy in his heart.


    His purpose is to let Liu Xiu decentralize his power and allow him to deal with it completely.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu is too understanding, let him operate directly. In this way, Huo Yun doesn''t worry about Liu Xiu''s interference and can boldly make profits from it.


    Huo Yun just awe inspiring, said: "the next officer, with all his heart and soul, vowed to complete the task of the adult."


    Liu xiudao: "the squires who buy farmland still want to let them go outside the city to have a look. In this way, they also have an intuitive concept, so that the price of land is not too low. "


    "I understand!"


    Huo Yun nodded solemnly, looking very serious.


    Liu Xiu waved and said, "go and be busy!"


    Huo Yun arched his hand and said, "I''m leaving!"


    The rest of the squires left with Huo Yun.


    The party hurried out of the county government. Huo Yun looked at the rest of the squires. His eyes were no longer soft, but became very strong. He said, "you will immediately prepare grain or money to buy farmland, and then I will sell it to others."


    "No!"


    When they were ordered, they all left in a hurry.


    Huo Yun''s operation is very simple. These squires are all Huo Yun''s people. Huo Yun is to let his people prepare food and money, buy farmland from him at a low price, and then sell it to other people at a high price.


    What we earn is the price difference.


    The price on the book is only the price at the time of the first purchase. Even if Liu Xiu finds out, Huo Yun can say that the transaction after the land is sold has nothing to do with him.

 Chapter 133

    Wang Mazi was very happy in recent days, because the days of famine were gone.


    He was one of the first people to see Liu county magistrate, and Wang Mazi always had endless gratitude and respect for Liu county magistrate and Wang Mazi. Why the first batch? Because on his way to Youxian, Liu and other refugees stopped the way and asked Liu for food.


    As a result, Liu county magistrate cooked porridge for them, and he was full for the first time in several months.


    Wang Mazi ate very much and walked very hard because he was worried that he would not have another meal, so he kept eating. But when lying on the ground, Liu county magistrate said that he would raise money for food relief and let them return to you county with him.


    Wang Mazi fled with his family. He had already been desperate. He could live a day.


    Unexpectedly, Liu county magistrate gave him and his family a chance to live.


    Of course, Wang Mazi didn''t really believe in Liu county magistrate. Because the last magistrate was used to talking big, but he was not reliable at all.


    With the idea of having a try, Wang Mazi and his wife and children went back to the county.


    That night, the county really opened Congpeng. Wang Mazi got three bowls of porridge with his wife and children. Although the porridge is not thick, it is hot. After drinking it, the stomach is warm.


    That night, Wang Mazi and his family had a good sleep.


    When I went to bed, I didn''t wake up from hunger.


    Soon, Wang Mazi saw the notice of Liu county magistrate recruiting soldiers.


    Wang Mazi was very happy when he thought of having food after joining the army. He ran to sign up as fast as he could. However, Wang Mazi was already in his early 40s. He was disqualified in his age and was brushed off.


    Wang Mazi was disappointed, so he could only stay in the city, with his wife and children, and live on the porridge tent set up by the government.


    On such a day, Wang Mazi was a little disappointed.


    It''s hard to solve the problem that Liu county magistrate set up Congpeng for disaster relief.


    Just when Wang Mazi was lost, the government put up a notice again, recruiting people to open up mountains, cut trees, cultivate farmland, and then open up farmland. As long as you attend, everyone can get a liter of food every day. If you are strong, you can get additional food subsidies.


    Wang Mazi was happy and felt that his chance had come.


    Sure enough, because of his strong body, he was assigned to the team of felling trees.


    At the end of the first day, he got a liter of grain and two liang of wild pork. After he came home with grain and pork, his wife complained for a while, saying that he should not have pork, but should exchange meat for grain.


    Wang Mazi listened to his wife''s nagging words, but saw that his wife was also happy. County Magistrate Liu has been trying to open up farmland. As long as he keeps on working, he will surely get more food, and he doesn''t have to worry about whether he has a meal at home.


    So Wang Mazi doesn''t think it''s a waste to replace two liang pork.


    Most importantly, Wang Mazi, a family of four, his wife, a son and a daughter, has not eaten meat for three months.


    Two or two pairs of pork on the table, steaming aroma, make a family of four straight swallow saliva.


    Wang Mazi did not eat any meat and gave it to his wife and children. He also wanted to eat, but he was very satisfied with the happiness of his wife and children. I''m even more grateful to county magistrate Liu.


    In this way, time flies.


    Wang Ma Zi worked for three consecutive days and got three liters of grain every day. In addition, he got two extra liters of food. Finally, the family has a little grain in store, and they have some confidence in their hearts.


    On the fourth day, when Wang Mazi received the grain, he weighed it over and found that the fixed one liter of grain was less.


    Wang Mazi knows the weight of a liter of grain.


    But he had only about eight liang of grain in his hand, less than a liter.


    Wang Mazi was worried about this, but he thought, maybe he made a mistake. So Wang Mazi didn''t make any noise. On the fifth day, Wang Mazi weighed it over again and found that there were only eight liang of grain.


    Wang Mazi asked other workers in private, and found that others had the same problem.


    It''s not a mistake, it''s intentional.


    Wang Mazi felt bullied and found the person in charge of getting food. The name of the person in charge is Gou Hongyun. He is big and fierce. After hearing Wang Mazi''s words, Gou Hongyun didn''t say a word. He let people beat Wang Mazi and threatened him to kill him if he dared to make trouble again.


    After returning home, Wang Mazi''s woman let Wang Mazi swallow his anger.


    Although there are only eight liang of fixed food left every day, Wang Mazi has the strength and extra subsidies. There is a lot of food left, more than other people, and his family will not be hungry.


    Wang Mazi agreed verbally. The next day, he didn''t go to work and went straight to the county government.


    He doesn''t agree!


    He believes that county magistrate Liu will decide for him.


    Wang Mazi came to the county government and sounded the drum of grievance.


    "Dong! Dong


    The drums reverberate in and out of the county government.


    In the study, Liu Xiu was stunned when he heard the sound of the drum. After he took office, it was the first time that he heard someone beat the drum to complain. Liu Xiu put on his official uniform and went to the front hall of the county government.After Liu Xiu took his seat, he told the soldiers to call Wang Mazi to the hall.


    Wang Mazi fell down on his knees and said, "Wang Mazi, the grass-roots man, meet the magistrate of Liu county."


    Liu Xiu asked, "what are your grievances?"


    Wang Mazi raised his head and said in a loud voice, "report back to the county magistrate. The grass people are the people who reclaim farmland. In the past two days, we have only received eight liang of grain every day, and there is no one liter at all. Cao min finds Gou Hongyun, who is in charge, but he beat him up. Please make your decision. "


    With these words, Wang Mazi took off his shabby clothes.


    On Wang Mazi''s back and chest, there were purple and blue bruises everywhere, with many scars.


    Wang Mazi said, "my Lord, please make the decision for the grass people."


    Liu Xiumei frowned and his eyes flashed with cold and fierce color. I didn''t expect that just a few days later, there was a situation of grain deduction. If we don''t stop this trend, it will certainly affect the great event of farming.


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "get up first. I''ll make the decision for you."


    "Thank you, my Lord. Thank you, my Lord."


    Wang Mazi''s eyes showed gratitude. He thought in his heart that if the magistrate of Liu county is willing to make the decision, there must be no problem. Wang Mazi stood up, his eyes full of gratitude.


    Liu Xiu cheered: "come on!"


    Voice down, Qiu Bao came in, boxing salute.


    Yueshan followed Deng Zhan in the barracks, and Qiu Bao stayed in the county government as Liu Xiu''s guard.


    Liu Xiu said, "go to inform Deng Zhan immediately and ask him to send 100 soldiers to wait outside the south gate. I''ll be out of the city right away."


    "No!"


    Qiu Bao nodded and turned to leave.


    Liu Xiu called the Yamen servant and said, "summon Ma Liang, gather all the people in charge of the garrison and all the people in charge, and wait outside the south gate."


    "No!"


    After the Yamen officer got the order, he went out of the county yamen.


    Wang Mazi listened to the orders, and was even more grateful.


    Liu Xiu looked at Wang Mazi with a soft tone and said slowly, "Wang Mazi, don''t worry. I will make the decision for you."


    "Yes, yes, thank you, my Lord."


    In Wang Mazi''s heart, he was very happy and thought that he had come right.


    Liu Xiu also asked the Yamen officer to summon Huo Yun, cen Fei, Kang He and a group of petty officials from the county yamen. When all the people arrived, he took them out of the city.


    Huo Yun was confused and didn''t know the situation. After asking the Yamen officer, he knew the situation. Huo Yun smiles. He has nothing to do with the matter of withholding grain. He doesn''t interfere. He just needs to guarantee his own interests. It''s Liu Xiu''s business that Liu Xiu is willing to make trouble. Moreover, he and Liu Xiu are still in a very good relationship, so they can''t offend Liu Xiu.


    Outside the south gate, Deng Zhan was in an array with 100 soldiers.


    Liu Xiu and his officials stood in front of the team.


    When Ma Liang came to Nanmen, he was organizing people from other schools and people in charge of farming. After all the teams gathered, Ma Liang came to Liu Xiu and said, "my Lord, everyone is here."


    Outside the south gate, on the wide flat ground, there are countless black heads. Because after the start of land reclamation, there are still people in you county to register, so more and more people are reclaiming farmland.

 Chapter 134

    Liu Xiu had no expression on his face and said coldly, "check out Gou Hongyun and shout out the person."


    Serious tone, Ma Liang heart clapping.


    What happened?


    At this time, Ma Liang was still in the dark, and did not know what had happened to the county government. However, Ma Liang had to comply with the order and arranged directly.


    After a short time, Gou Hongyun was found and led by the soldiers came out.


    When gou Hongyun saw Wang Mazi, his eyes widened and he looked surprised. Wang Mazi didn''t go to work today. Gou Hongyun thinks that Wang Mazi is afraid or beaten and doesn''t dare to go to work again.


    At that time, in Gou Hongyun''s heart, he was very happy. He thought that with Wang Mazi as the first bird, other people would not dare to look for trouble. Unexpectedly, Wang Mazi appeared beside the county magistrate.


    Complain!


    Wang Mazi must have complained!


    In Gou Hongyun''s heart, he had a bad feeling. At the same time, he kept thinking about how to escape this time.


    Seeing Gou Hongyun, Liu Xiu asked, "are you gou Hongyun?"


    The cold tone made Gou Hongyun''s heart sink. However, his psychological quality is better, and there is no flustered look on his face. He replied respectfully, "please tell me, the grassroots are in bad luck."


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice, "Wang Mazi sued you for embezzlement of grain. Is that the case?"


    Wang Mazi looked at Gou Hongyun with deep hatred in his eyes.


    After hearing this, Ma Liang''s eyes also showed a look of surprise. Now he understood that there was a matter of embezzling food in the team. He glanced at the others, thinking. Liu Xiuzhi summoned all the people to deal with it, I''m afraid it was also to frighten other people.


    Ma Liang thought that he was not careful enough to deal with things. He didn''t even find out such things. It''s too wrong.


    All eyes fall on Gou Hongyun.


    Gou Hongyun took a look at Wang Mazi, shook his head and said, "please tell me, the grass people have not embezzled Wang Mazi''s food. It''s Wang Mazi, the villain, who first complains. Please be aware of it. "


    Liu Xiu said: "since there is no deduction, why does Wang Mazi receive only eight liang of grain?"


    Gou Hongyun said, "I''ll tell you back. The grass people are in charge of a group of people. When they cut down trees, they set a rule. In the ranks, as long as it''s cheating or not working hard, there will be less food. The reason for doing so is to urge them to do their best. Wang Mazi''s performance these two days is very poor, so he didn''t get a liter of grain. "


    Liu Xiu turned his eyes and asked, "is Wang Mazi''s words of Gou Hongyun true?"


    "No!"


    Wang Mazi retorted in a loud voice: "the grass people always work hard to cut down trees. If adults don''t believe it, they can call other workers to inquire. "


    In Gou Hongyun''s eyes, he was in a hurry and said, "Please trust the grassroots."


    Liu Xiu said, "I only believe in facts!" Immediately, Liu Xiu said, "Ma Liang, call all the people under Gou Hongyun."


    "No!"


    Ma Liang got the order and went down immediately.


    Soon, all the 100 people under Gou Hongyun''s management came to the gate.


    Gou Hongyun stares at these people with a cold light in his eyes. His eyes sweep over the common people, but he sees that many people are avoiding and dare not contact Gou Hongyun.


    Liu Xiu snorted and said in a deep voice: "Wang Mazi sued Gou Hongyun, saying that he had embezzled grain, let alone that Wang Mazi did not work hard. Who will testify in this matter? "


    "My Lord, Wang Mazi is honest and sincere. He won''t cheat. It''s not only Wang Mazi who has been deprived of food, so have I


    Immediately, a common people came forward to identify.


    "It''s true that Gou Hongyun was vicious and embezzled grain. The grass people were also embezzled grain."


    In the crowd, some people came forward to point out.


    One by one, people looked at Gou Hongyun with fear and anger in their eyes. In front of Liu Xiu, these people who usually swallow their anger broke out in their chest.


    Seeing this, Gou Hongyun was confused.


    How is that possible?


    It''s impossible for these soft guys to identify him.


    Gou Hongyun''s head was completely confused. His legs softened, he knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed to the ground with his head, and begged for mercy in a loud voice: "my Lord, the grass people are wrong. The grass-roots people are confused by the lard, so they will cut the grain. Please forgive me


    In the face of innumerable people''s correction, Gou Hongyun knows that he has been planted. No matter how hard he refuses to admit his mistake, the result will be even worse.


    Liu Xiu said, "it seems that you have pleaded guilty."


    "Plead guilty, grassroots plead guilty."


    Gou Hongyun''s constant kowtow raised a trace of fear in his heart. But in his mind, he thought that when this matter was over, he would find another chance to deal with Wang Mazi. This honest man would sue him. He was looking for death.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "since you have confessed, you must bear the punishment. Somebody, cut off his head. "Two soldiers came forward, bound Gou Hongyun and put him on the ground.


    Gou Hongyun pleads for mercy, but Liu Xiu''s face is cold and he waves his hand to order execution. With a click, Gou Hongyun''s round head rolled on the ground with red blood, and finally stopped.


    This scene shocked countless people.


    "Long live my Lord!"


    Suddenly, in the crowd, there was a loud cry.


    "Long live my Lord!"


    "Long live my Lord!"


    ¡­¡­


    Countless people, constantly shouting, have excited look in their eyes.


    There is no doubt that Liu Xiu''s action has made the people feel at ease. Through this incident, they saw hope and a magistrate who supported them.


    Cry, mountain cry, tsunami, drown all the sound.


    Huo Yun, cen Fei and Kang he saw this, and there was a trace of difference in their eyes.


    At this moment, Huo Yun suddenly felt that Liu Xiu was not easy to deal with. The reason is that Liu Xiu was decisive in killing and cutting, and after this event, Liu Xiu''s prestige must go up to a higher level.


    Liu Xiu took root in the hearts of the people.


    Today, Liu Xiu''s image is more upright and powerful.


    As long as Liu Xiu raised his hand, there would be countless people gathered to respond.


    At the thought of such a scene, Huo Yun felt a little tricky. Fortunately, though Liu Xiu''s means were good, he was very successful and devoted himself to the planning of Yuzhang County, which had little influence on him.


    CEN Fei and Kang he see, the mood is not the same.


    Originally, they thought that Liu Xiu could not be Huo Yun''s opponent through the food issue. After this incident, we found that Liu Xiu was decisive in killing and cutting, and his ability was not too bad. Maybe they were at a low ebb.


    The rest of the petty officials were also shocked.


    Liu Xiu looked around the crowd, raised his hand and pressed it down. Soon, the people were quiet. Outside the city gate, there was silence. Liu Xiu looked at Wang Mazi and said, "the position of Gou Hongyun will be replaced by Wang Mazi."


    "Thank you, my Lord."


    In Wang Mazi''s heart, he was very happy. He didn''t expect that he had such a chance.


    Liu Xiu looked at other people in charge of the people. These people were in a single square array. They stood together and looked at Liu Xiu with a look of fear.


    The result of Gou Hongyun made many people fear.


    Liu Xiu continued: "in view of the problem of grain being embezzled, our government will send special personnel to investigate the situation of grain. Before that, there were people who had embezzled food and returned it to the people themselves. I will let bygones be bygones. If it''s found again, there''s no amnesty. This is the food for disaster relief and life-saving. How can you bear it if you want to cut it off? "


    "Hoo!"


    The people in charge of all the teams were relieved.


    With the help of Gou Hongyun, everyone has been frightened. It was Liu Xiu''s method that was too decisive and fierce. He killed Gou Hongyun in public, and the effect was too shocking.


    Liu Xiu looked at Ma Liang and said, "take care of the rest. I don''t want to see another bad luck. "


    Ma Liang said: "please rest assured that your humble position will thoroughly investigate this matter."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "let all the people be separated, and they are busy with their own affairs."


    "No!"


    Ma Liang nodded and gave an order.


    Immediately all the people scattered and went to their own places. But at this time, there is a conversation between the people, and the people in charge of the people, with a heavy heart, have no longer dare to mess.


    If there is a pockmarked seed, there may be a second pockmarked seed.

 Chapter 135

    Tens of thousands of people opened up mountains and forests, and the desolate land around you county was constantly reclaimed. At the same time, after the farmland was reclaimed, all the supporting ditches were excavated. The shops of the Huang, Pang and Kuai families donated a bobbin car to the Xiangshui River to irrigate the farmland.


    The face of you county is constantly changing.


    During this period, a steady stream of grain was also transported from Xiangshui to Youxian.


    Every day, you county is changing.


    In this era, what is lacking most is trees and forests, and what is lacking most is farmland. Opening mountains and cutting forests is the life of Kangzhuang that people yearn for, because with farmland, there is the foundation of life.


    When people are busy, Huo Yun is too busy to touch the ground.


    Every day, he would meet the gentry of you county and negotiate with them. Although very busy every day, but Huo Yun''s heart, but extremely satisfied, because every day a lot of money into the Huo family''s treasury.


    At night, the study.


    Huo Yun is checking today''s income. After the calculation, he looks satisfied.


    "Today, I made a million yuan and 500 yuan for grain. It''s really good."


    Huo Yun put the account book away with a strong smile on his face.


    He made a false account of all the farmland. Through the arrangement of Huo''s family, they buy pieces of cultivated farmland. Then he sold the farmland to other people.


    Huo Yun was very satisfied with the profits he made from farmland.


    Even if someone noticed the problem, Huo Yun was the local emperor of you County, and the Huo family was the local overlord of you county. If the squires want to buy land, they can only suppress their complaints.


    Besides, he was not afraid of these people complaining in front of Liu Xiu.


    First of all, a complaint may not bring him down because Huo Yun never issued a receipt. Even if the squire gave the money, there was no evidence to prove that he had made a mistake. What''s more, he is not Gou Hongyun, who has no background. He is the local emperor of you county. If the squire goes to complain, he will have to bear the consequences.


    "Somebody


    Huo Yun''s eyes turned and ordered.


    Immediately, Huo Yun''s housekeeper came in and said, "master!"


    Huo Yun asked, "what happened to Zhu Biao these two days?"


    The housekeeper shook his head and said, "Zhu Biao said that he is ready to wait for the master''s order at any time. Zhu Biao also said, "this time, I hope the master can give more points to tianlongling."


    Huo Yun mouth up, said: "more points, he can eat it?" After a pause, Huo Yun said, "tell Zhu Biao to prepare. If the mission is successfully completed this time, I will give him 30% of the 200000 stone grain. "


    "Yes


    The housekeeper nodded and kept it in mind.


    Huo Yun asked, "what is Liu Xiu doing these days?"


    The housekeeper said, "most of the time, I go to the barracks. In addition, for a few days, Ma Liang, Kuai Qi and Pang Tong were called together to discuss matters. As for what they are talking about, I don''t know. "


    Huo Yun nodded and said: "Liu Xiu went to the barracks to train his troops against Yuzhang county. However, taishici was not a good man. With Liu Xiu''s 1000 troops, he wanted to attack Yuzhang county. That was a joke. However, Liu Xiu''s mind is on the barracks, which is a good thing. As for Kuai Qi, Ma Liang and Pang Tong, what about the trial? "


    The housekeeper shook his head and said, "these three people are not easy to communicate and are not willing to cooperate with us."


    Huo Yun showed a trace of dignity between his eyebrows and said: "Kuai Qi is from the Kuai family, Ma Liang is from the Yicheng Ma family, and Pang Tong is from the Pang family. These three people are really hard to deal with. It''s all right. Since we can''t get in touch with each other, we''ll let it go for the time being and talk about it later. "


    "No!"


    The housekeeper bowed his head and nodded.


    ¡­¡­


    County government, study.


    Liu Xiu, Pang Tong, Kuai Qi and Ma Liang were seated.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were serious, and he said, "today, we''ve been doing this for ten days. Let''s talk about the recent progress."


    Pang Tong was the first to open his mouth and said, "everything is normal on my side. After all, I''m just helping Ji Chang deal with things. Nothing big happened


    Ma Liang said: "the matter of tuntian has been on the right track. After the young master killed Gou Hongyun, I arrested several typical people and punished them. Everything was normal in tuntian. "


    Kuai Qi said: "the distribution of grain is also normal."


    After a pause, Kuai Qi said: "when Huo Yun sells farmland, he first asks the Huo family to buy it at a low price, and then he resells it. That''s why he offended the families in you county. "


    "In this case, the three families are in contact with the major families in you county. Now, the Huo family has been isolated. "


    "Unfortunately, Huo Yun didn''t issue a receipt."


    Kuai Qi''s eyes were sharp, and he said: "to win Huo Yun, there must be enough evidence. Huo Yun, the old fox, doesn''t take the bait at all. "


    Liu Xiu asked, "is it possible to plot against the Huo family?"Kuai Qi shook his head and said, "I''ve also considered the plan of rebellion. However, the young master and Huo Yun are lying to each other. I''m afraid that the rebellion will scare the snake, so I didn''t let manager Feng, manager Huang and manager Pang do it. "


    Liu Xiu thought for a moment and said, "since we can''t find a way to instigate rebellion for the time being, we don''t have to worry about Huo Yun''s affairs. Let Huo Yun resell. He resells farmland to earn money from the major families in you County, and he will continue to offend them. Virtually, the Huo family has become the object of everyone''s hatred. It''s good for us, too. "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "soon it will be the agreed 15 day date. Huo Yun will take over the grain. I believe that Zhu Biao of tianlongling is about to go out. It''s easy to deal with Huo Yunduo, and the key is to remove the external forces first


    Pang Tong thought about it and said, "we can''t confirm now when Zhu Biao will start."


    Liu Xiu said: "after the plan is scheduled, just wait for him to enter the urn. During this period of time, keep an eye on Huo Yun. I''m sure Huo Yun will arrange the action. Shiyuan, you take out the matter of garrison and contact Deng Zhan to prepare for the next war. "


    "I understand!"


    Pang Tong nodded and his eyes were full of fighting spirit.


    Although Zhu Biao was not a famous general, for Pang Tong, it was the first battle with different meanings.


    Liu Xiu waved and said, "go down and get ready!"


    They all nodded and got up to leave.


    Liu Xiu sat alone in his study and thought about the whole plan carefully. Now the situation is that Huo Yun has entered the urn. As long as he has won the Zhu Biao of tianlongling, everything will be OK. Without Zhu Biao, Huo Yun is the fish on the chopping board, which is to be slaughtered.


    "Huo Yun, Huo Yun, boil frogs in warm water. You''ve already jumped in. It''s hard to think about it."


    Liu Xiu got up, took Deng AI and went to the barracks.


    The more he went to the back, the more concerned Liu Xiu was about the combat effectiveness of the army. This was the strength of the war.

 Chapter 136

    On September 18, it was drizzling in the sky. The people of you County went home and did not reclaim the farmland, but they still got the grain they should get.


    The people live and work in peace and contentment, but you county is not calm, it is already a turbulent undercurrent.


    Early in the morning, Liu Xiu and Huo Yun met Feng Yide, Huang Qi and pangkuan, and delivered all the grain. Up to now, all the 200000 stone grain has been handed over to Liu Xiu.


    The granary where the grain is stored is full of grain.


    Huo Yun looked at the bags of grain in the granary and was very excited.


    Too much food, so much food, how much is it.


    Huo Yun suppressed the agitation and said with righteous words: "please don''t worry, my Lord. I will take care of the granary. Every expenditure on grain will be clearly recorded by the lower officials, and there will be no mistakes. "


    Liu xiuhan said: "Huo Xiancheng manages the granary. I can rest assured. It''s just that you are not only responsible for the sale of farmland, but also for the management of grain and grass. Are you busy? "


    Huo Yun patted his chest and promised: "it''s my honor to serve you. Besides, the granary is not always busy. On weekdays, the granary must be closed. It will only be opened when it is necessary to distribute grain. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "it''s the same reason. It''s hard for you."


    "It''s not hard. I''m not hard at all."


    Huo Yun smiles in his heart, thinking about how to deal with the grain in the granary.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "You county''s army and all the recruitment have been completed. It''s just that a thousand soldiers have no fighting capacity at all. I decided to take 1000 soldiers out of the city and go to Liu Pan''s barracks for training for a few days. I asked him to drill for me. So in the next few days, I may not be in the county. You are the county magistrate, and you need to worry more. "


    Huo Yun eyebrow a pick, eyes smile thick, the heart is more happy up. Liu Xiu left the county for the time being, and the army had to go to Liu Pan''s barracks for the time being. Isn''t it more convenient for him to move?


    For a moment, Huo Yun''s heart was filled with joy.


    Huo Yun assured: "please rest assured, I will deal with the granary and farmland."


    Liu Xiu said, "I can rest assured if you handle affairs. I still have to deal with the matter. I''ll go to the barracks first. You can handle the affairs of you County by yourself. "


    "No!"


    Huo Yun nodded and sent Liu Xiu away.


    Huo Yun did not stay in the granary for a long time. After closing the granary, he returned to Huo''s home. He sat in the study, quickly wrote a letter, and then handed it to the housekeeper''s hand, said: "tell Zhu Biao, let him take people down the mountain tomorrow morning, attack into the county to move food."


    The housekeeper nodded and left in a hurry with the letter.


    Huo Yun''s eyes showed a trace of brilliance and murmured: "although the 1000 soldiers under Liu Xiu''s command were just recruited, the longer the delay, the stronger the combat effectiveness. Now I''m leaving. It''s just right for me to do it. Especially when Zhu Biao went down the mountain, he could avoid Liu Xiu''s army and move grain more easily. "


    A smile, in Huo Yun''s face, flash away.


    ¡­¡­


    Barracks, big accounts of the Chinese army.


    Standing beside Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan reported: "young master, Huo Yun''s housekeeper left Huo''s house again and went to tianlongling."


    Liu xiudao: "Huo Yungang got the right to control the grain, so naturally he was ready to move all the grain. Send orders to monitor the soldiers in the direction of tianlongling, closely monitor and report the news at any time. "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "I''ve told Huo Yun that today I''m going to dispatch troops to leave the county and go to Liu Pan''s barracks. It is very likely that Zhu Biao will act tomorrow. "


    Deng Zhan hugged his fists and said, "young master, you must be a god of war. Huo Yun can''t help it. As long as Zhu Biao goes down, this time is our chance. "


    Liu said: "if Zhu Biao is not removed, you county will not be peaceful. In this war, Zhu Biao must be eliminated. "


    Deng Zhan said: "young master, I''ll mobilize the army and get ready to leave the city. After all, after leaving the city, we have to go to Liu Pan''s barracks, and then disperse the troops. "


    Liu Xiu waved, thinking about the next arrangement.


    ¡­¡­


    Tianlong mountain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.


    Zhu Biao has been in tianlongling for several years.


    First of all, he occupies an excellent geographical position in tianlongling and can defend himself to the greatest extent. Even though he has only one thousand people, he can resist the encirclement and suppression of tens of thousands of troops. Second, Zhu Biao and Huo Yun collude with each other. Whenever the government wants to encircle and suppress tianlongling, internal news always comes to let Zhu Biao know the situation. Finally, Zhu Biao is tall and strong and has outstanding martial arts skills, A mace has few rivals.


    For several reasons, Zhu Biao was king and dominating in tianlongling and had a very happy life.


    Shanzhai, in the hall.


    Zhu Biao and his small leaders drink and play, and there are singing girls dancing in the hall. On tianlongling, there are many beauties that Zhu Biao plundered. They are ready for Zhu Biao to play.


    "Newspaper!"


    Outside the hall, a mountain thief ran in.The mountain bandit came to Zhu Biao''s side, approached him and said in a low voice, "big head leader, people of Huo family want to see you."


    Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows and waved: "it''s all gone!"


    A group of singer, immediately panic of retreat, the hall also a quiet down.


    Zhu Biao said, "bring people in."


    The mountain bandit retreated immediately. It wasn''t long before the housekeeper of Huo family entered the hall.


    The housekeeper looked neither humble nor arrogant. After bowing to Zhu Biao, he took out the letter sealed with fire paint from his sleeve and said, "big head collar, this is the master''s letter. Please have a look."


    The mountain thief took the letter and handed it to Zhu Biao.


    After Zhu Biao opened it, he scanned it quickly and asked incredulously, "is there really 200000 stone grain?"


    In fact, when Zhu Biao heard Huo Yun say that Liu Xiu borrowed 200000 stone grain, he didn''t believe it. He thinks Liu Xiu borrowed grain, which is true. But Liu Xiu''s figure of 210000 may be fake. In fact, there is not so much grain.


    But in the letter in front of him, it was clearly written that Liu Xiu delivered 200000 stone grain.


    The housekeeper said, "big head leader, there''s nothing wrong with grain. There''s so much grain."


    Zhu Biao read the letter again, put it away, and said, "tell Huo Yun that tomorrow morning, I will take my brothers down the mountain to attack the county. I will go through the north gate and let him weaken the defense of the north gate."


    Zhu Biao''s heart is full of confidence.


    On the one hand, he has done it many times because of the invasion of the county. He is already familiar with it. On the other hand, because Liu Xiu left the county with his army, he could easily move food.


    "I understand!"


    The housekeeper nodded and said, "I''m leaving."


    "Wait a minute!"


    Stop Zhu Wei waving his eyes.


    The housekeeper asked, "is there anything else for the big head leader?"


    Zhu Biao said: "this is a big deal. After success, there are many benefits. You''ve been walking up and down the mountain many times, and it''s been hard. Why don''t you take a rest on the mountain and I''ll ask the singer to help you loosen your bones. "


    The housekeeper''s eyes showed a trace of emotion, but he thought of Huo Yun, and quickly shook his head and said: "the kindness of the big head leader is in my heart. The master is waiting for me to report the news, so he won''t stay any longer. Goodbye


    Zhu Biao shook his head and said, "Oh, you are That''s all. I won''t give it away. "


    The housekeeper nodded and stepped down quickly.


    Zhu Biao looked at the small leaders under his command, waved and said, "come on, serve the wine. This evening, eat well and drink well. Tomorrow morning, go down the mountain and do a big business. "


    After listening to this, all the mountain bandits reveled.


    Noise and laughter, in the cottage hall one after another, continuous.

 Chapter 137

    Outside tianlongling, twelve li away.


    This location is the only way to you county. This place is open and flat. On the left side of the road, there is a hill with dense woods.


    Although the hills are sheltered by trees, this is not the best place to ambush.


    No depth, no geographical advantage.


    However, it is here that Liu Xiu chooses.


    After coming down from tianlongling, the roads leading to you county are either narrow, which is not conducive to hiding soldiers, or broad, without woods. Especially when it is near you County, it is impossible to lay an ambush.


    The only place is this one.


    There is a certain distance from tianlongling and Youxian.


    At the same time, there is a dense forest where soldiers can be hidden.


    Liu Xiu and his soldiers hid in the dense forest and waited quietly. In fact, Liu Xiugen didn''t know when Zhu Biao was going down. The only thing he was sure of was that Huo Yun would urge Zhu Biao to go down in recent days.


    In the mountains, Pang Tong and Deng Zhan sit beside Liu Xiu.


    In addition, Huang Zhong is beside Liu Xiushen.


    After Liu Xiu led his troops into Liu Pan''s barracks, he borrowed weapons from Liu Pan, and then borrowed Huang Zhong for the time being.


    Huang Zhong asked, "Mr. Xiu, Zhu Biao is not going down the mountain today. Do you still have to wait?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were firm and said without hesitation: "I have told Huo Yun that he has been in the military camp in recent days. Huo Yun can''t send people to the barracks to investigate, and brother pan can''t take the initiative to tell Huo Yun, so it''s safest for us to hide in the mountains. I''m sure Zhu Biao will go down the mountain, so just wait quietly. "


    Huang Zhong nodded slightly, and his eyes showed approval.


    Not arrogant and not impatient, it''s really good.


    Huang Zhong said, "the distance between the mountain forest and the official road is a little far, and the terrain of the mountain forest is not suitable for a large number of soldiers to ambush with bows and arrows. This means that once you fight with Zhu Biao, you have to fight head-on. Young master Xiu, this kind of fighting, either you die or I die, or even kill the enemy one thousand and lose eight hundred. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "general Hansheng, if Zhu Biao stays in tianlongling, the soldiers under my command will attack and suffer more casualties. This is a good result. Moreover, I invited general Hansheng here to defeat the enemy at one stroke. General Hansheng is a strong general on the battlefield. After Zhu Biao appeared, general Hansheng led the troops to defeat the mountain bandits. "


    Huang Zhong nodded and said, "if Zhu Biao just fought, he would be ready to withdraw?"


    Liu Xiu added: "this failure is the beginning of the next plan. Failure always paves the way for success. Therefore, even if Zhu Biao retreats, he can continue to cover up. Moreover, the probability of Zhu Biao''s withdrawal is too small. "


    At this point, a smile appeared in Liu Xiu''s eyes. At this time, Liu Xiu understood that Huang Zhong''s rhetorical question was actually aimed at possible loopholes.


    Huang Zhong closed his eyes and stopped talking.


    In a simple conversation, Huang Zhong confirmed that Liu Xiu''s plan was well prepared.


    "Rustle!"


    Suddenly, a sound of footwork came.


    Qiu Bao came in a hurry and reported: "young master, Zhu Biao has come down the mountain with the mountain bandits, and now he is on his way. Zhu Biao is less than six miles away from us. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "the whole army is ready to go down."


    At the command, the army began to prepare.


    Huang Zhong clenched the big knife in his hand. The tip of the knife was leaning on the ground and he closed his eyes. The more he arrived at the time when he was about to fight, Huang Zhong''s heart became more and more calm.


    As time goes by, people wait quietly.


    The hearts of all the soldiers were hanging in the air. Unlike Huang Zhong, who is a veteran, soldiers in the army are nervous when they go to the battlefield for the first time. But if they have to support their troops for a thousand days and use them for a while, they are bound to go to the battlefield.


    "Come, it''s less than two miles from us."


    Qiu Bao ran back again, and there was a trace of excitement in his eyes.


    Liu Xiu nodded, waved and said, "general Hansheng, the army is led by you. You and Pang Tong will lead the troops down and fight in an array on the flat and open official road, ready to meet Zhu Biao. "


    Huang Zhong''s eyes, showing a trace of surprise, asked: "how about you?"


    Liu xiudao: "the location of the hill is not suitable for ambushing a large number of archers, but at the top of the mountain, there is a big protruding stone near the official road. I''ll go there and kill Zhu Biao. "


    Huang Zhong''s eyes narrowed and said, "master Xiu, are you ready to shoot Zhu Biao?"


    This situation is beyond Huang Zhong''s expectation.


    Huang Zhong knew that Liu Xiu''s sword skill was superb, but he didn''t expect that Liu Xiu was also proficient in archery.


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu nodded with firm eyes. He has excellent swordsmanship, but his fighting on the battlefield is not suitable for swordsmanship. Moreover, Huang Zhong is good at leading the army.


    Huang Zhong leads the battle, and it is the best way for him to kill Zhu Biao.Huang Zhong was silent for a moment, and he did not persuade him any more. He said, "if so, act separately."


    "Follow me out of the woods."


    With a big knife in his hand, Huang Zhong rushed out of the mountain forest with his soldiers.


    At the same time, the mounts of Huang Zhong, Pang Tong and Deng Zhan were also led out. Eight hundred soldiers followed Huang Zhong closely and ran closely. They soon came to the official road and blocked Zhu Biao''s way to you county.


    Zhu Biao took a thousand thieves to Youxian.


    Compared with the rest of the thieves, Zhu Biao rode on a high horse, wearing armor and an iron helmet. And behind Zhu Biao, there are more soldiers, like officers and soldiers, carrying a big flag forward.


    The white flag is embroidered with the word "Zhu" in black.


    The big flag followed Zhu Biao all the time, indicating that this was where Zhu Biao was.


    When Zhu Biao learned that there were officers and soldiers in front of him, he was also stunned.


    A moment later, Zhu Biao calmed down.


    Besides Liu Pan''s army, there are only Liu Xiu''s soldiers in you county. An army, undoubtedly Liu Xiu''s, suddenly appeared on the official road.


    Zhu Biao showed disdain in his eyes and said with a sneer, "the newly formed army is trying to stop me. It''s just beyond our capacity. Full speed ahead, I want to see what tricks Liu Xiu plays. "


    At this time, Zhu Biao''s heart has been open.


    After careful analysis, he understood that this was Liu Xiu''s plan to lead the snake out of the hole. Liu Xiu gives Huo Yun the grain for the time being. He deliberately asks Huo Yun to tell Zhu Biao. Then he pretends to go to Liu Pan''s barracks. In fact, he ambushes here and wants to attack him. Zhu Biao also thinks Liu Xiu''s strategy is excellent, but Zhu Biao thinks Liu Xiu has forgotten one point.


    The combat effectiveness of the army!


    What if Liu Xiu had soldiers? Soldiers have no fighting capacity and are still useless.


    Zhu Biao quickly took the mountain thief to the front. He stopped a hundred paces away from Huang Zhong and yelled, "who is Liu Xiu? Stand up and have a look. "


    Pang Tong didn''t even want to think about it. He urged his horse to stand up.


    "I''m Liu Xiu and Zhu Biao. You surrender immediately, and I''ll leave you dead."


    Pang Tong is older than Liu Xiu, but he is not much worse. When he comes out, he will not make Zhu Biao suspicious. However, when Zhu Biao saw Pang Tong, he burst out laughing.


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Zhu Biao laughed and said, "I''ve heard that Liu Xiu looks handsome. Is this Junlang? Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, you are so handsome. It''s just that the people who praise you are blind and a bunch of idiots. "


    Pang Tong''s eyes showed a trace of coldness.


    The dying are still so arrogant.


    Huang Zhong stood beside Pang Tong on horseback with a touch of meditation in his eyes. He glanced at a big stone on the left side of Zhu Biao, nearly fifty feet away. Seeing that the woods moved twice, he knew that Liu Xiu was in place.


    Pang Tong brought out Zhu Biao and delayed the time.


    Liu Xiu was in place, and then he was ready to kill Zhu Biao. This move was quite ingenious.

 Chapter 138

    Liu xiuren had already reached the big stone and covered his figure with the help of a towering tree.


    The situation under the boulder is clear at a glance.


    Especially in front of the bandits, Zhu Biao''s figure is clearly reflected in Liu Xiu''s eyes. Liu Xiu estimated the distance between himself and Zhu Biao, which was about 110 steps.


    He took out the iron bow, then took out an iron arrow and put it on the bowstring. In sight, Zhu Biao''s massive body is very clear, but the position of his head is a little too far to shoot with one arrow.


    There was no anxiety in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    In the last life, when he learned to shoot, he knew that he had to keep his breath.


    Only when you have a deep heart can you get a chance.


    Liu Xiu leaned against the tree trunk, holding a bow and arrow, aiming at Zhu Biao''s head, quietly waiting for the opportunity.


    Under the rocks, Zhu Biao and Pang Tong are still talking.


    Zhu Biao stared at Liu Xiu with a look of disdain in his eyes. He said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, I heard that you are Liu Biao''s son. You come to you county to make contributions. In my opinion, you are too anxious. It is impossible for you to deal with me by training soldiers for half a month. If you wait half a year or a year, maybe there will be a war. "


    Pang Tong had already become Liu Xiu. He said in a loud voice, "half a year later, you will have consumed all my 200000 stone grain, and the people will not be able to benefit. If I don''t kill you, how can I kill Huo Yun? When you die, Huo Yun is the fish on the chopping board. "


    Zhu Biao shook his head and said, "young man, it''s too naive." After a pause, Zhu Biao said: "if you cooperate with me, in fact, I can help you eradicate huoyun."


    For Huo Yun, Zhu Biao has some complaints in his heart. After all, most of the benefits go to Huo Yun. If he can win Huo Yun, Zhu Biao doesn''t mind to stand on Liu Xiu''s side.


    Pang Tong sneered and shook his head: "the collusion between the officials and the bandits is really ironic. How can I collude with thieves and bandits like you, my son of a state shepherd. "


    Zhu Biao''s face turned black.


    He stares at Pang Tong with cold eyes, which is already murderous.


    What Zhu Biao dislikes most is the officials of the government. He thinks himself an official. He looks like he''s on top. He thinks he''s amazing. But after being captured one by one, they begged for mercy and life.


    In the end, they all died in Zhu Biao''s hands.


    "Liu Xiu, you are dead."


    Zhu Biao gnashed his teeth, he turned his horse''s head and slowly stood on one side. At this time, Zhu Biao was facing Huang Zhong and Liu Xiu, and the door was facing Liu Xiu''s position.


    Seeing this, Huang Zhong glanced at Liu Xiu''s direction.


    Liu Xiu leaned against the tree trunk, and his eyes narrowed when he saw Zhu Biao''s side facing his direction.


    Opportunity, here it is!


    Without any hesitation, Liu Xiu released his hand holding the bow and arrow.


    "Hum!"


    The bowstring vibrates, and the sharp iron arrow comes out of the bowstring.


    "Whew!"


    A sharp screech sounded in the air.


    A streamer, like lightning in the air, went straight to Zhu Biao.


    Zhu Biao was about to speak when he saw a bright light flashing in the air. He glared at Zhu Biao''s eyebrow before he could react.


    Poof!


    The iron arrow with great power runs through Zhu Biao''s head.


    Silk almost, from Zhu Biao''s eyebrows flowing out. Zhu Biao''s body on the horse shakes twice. Under the impact of the iron arrow, he falls to the ground.


    One shot, head shot!


    When Zhu Biao was killed, Huang Zhong seized the opportunity, raised his sword and roared, "Zhu Biao is dead, kill him."


    A thousand soldiers rushed up.


    Pang Tong stands in the same place, Qiu Bao is beside Pang Tong, responsible for protecting Pang Tong''s safety. Although Qiu Bao wanted to fight, he finally held back.


    Zhu Biao is dead, and a thousand mountain bandits are in complete disorder.


    Everyone did not expect that Zhu Biao was shot in the blink of an eye.


    It''s, it''s so sudden.


    When the officers and soldiers came to kill them, the mountain bandits were in chaos and scattered. Some of the mountain bandits turned and fled. Some of them knelt down and surrendered. There were no mountain bandits who resisted at all.


    Zhu Biao is the backbone of the mountain bandits. When Zhu Biao is dead, the mountain bandits will have no resistance.


    Huang Zhong takes the lead and has a sharp blade. He goes into the mountain bandits and kills them constantly.


    The soldiers under his command follow Huang Zhong to cover up and kill.


    The officers and men on the battlefield are as powerful as a rainbow, but the mountain bandits in tianlongling are vulnerable to attack and constantly flee.


    Pang Tong pushed forward slowly with his soldiers to deal with the soldiers who knelt down and surrendered. After a short time, Liu Xiu came down from the mountain forest, and his eyes also showed joy. After killing Zhu Biao, the plan is a step closer.


    Huang Zhong led the troops to cover up and kill. When he approached Tianlong mountain, he suddenly found that a group of officers and soldiers rushed out at the foot of Tianlong mountain and stopped the retreating mountain bandits.With this army, the mountain bandits had no way to escape and all knelt down to surrender.


    When Huang Zhong saw the soldiers in ambush, he understood.


    If Liu Xiu didn''t kill Zhu Biao, when Zhu Biao retreated and approached tianlongling, this soldier would become an ambush and ambush Zhu Biao again.


    Huang Zhong also admired Liu Xiu''s plan. In particular, Liu Xiu''s plans against Huo Yun and Zhu Biao were closely linked, which made Huang Zhong applaud.


    Huang Zhong thought that Liu Xiu''s attack on Yuzhang County might not be impossible.


    Two quarters of an hour later, Liu Xiu and Pang Tong escorted the surrendering bandits to Tianlong mountain. At this time, there are very few mountain bandits left in Tianlong mountain.


    Liu Xiu led his troops up the mountain. The left behind bandits did not dare to resist any more and opened the gate of the stronghold to surrender.


    Zhu Biao robbed all the female dependents living in the village. When Liu Xiu arrived, he released all the female dependents. For those whose families have been destroyed, they will be temporarily resettled in Shanzhai, waiting to be resettled.


    With this time, Pang Tong took people to count the food and money of the Shanzhai.


    An hour later, Pang Tong came to Liu Xiu''s side and reported: "childe, on tianlongling mountain, there are expected to be 50000 stone grains. In addition, the amount of money in the Shanzhai is not enough, which is hard to estimate for a time. Moreover, the rest of the jewels and jades are immeasurable and need to be reevaluated. "


    After a pause, Pang Tong took out a letter and handed it to Liu Xiu. He said, "these letters are all written by Huo Yun to Zhu Biao. They are evidence of his collusion with Zhu Biao."


    "Good, good!"


    Liu Xiu laughs. Unexpectedly, Zhu Biao keeps the letter.


    As soon as his eyes turned, Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and asked, "what are the losses of the army?"


    Deng Zhan''s smile was bright, and he reported: "tell me, this battle, we have a total of 1000 soldiers, but only six people died and 20 people were injured. Among the 1000 mountain bandits, 216 were killed and 784 were captured. In the Shanzhai, there are still a few bandits not included in the data. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "put the grain, property and weapons in order and send them to the county gradually. The rest of the mountain bandits were detained and sent to the county. The news of our actions must have been sent back to the county. Now, it''s time for Kuai Qi and the major families in you county to do the same. You stay and deal with the follow-up affairs. I''ll go back to the city with general Pang Tong and Han Sheng first. "


    "No!"


    Deng zhande ordered that arrangements be made immediately.


    Liu Xiu took Pang Tong, Huang Zhong, and a hundred soldiers down to tianlongling and ran to the county seat.

 Chapter 139

    County government, county government office.


    Huo Yun sat cross legged, his heart had already gone to the sky, thinking about Zhu Biao''s downhill. Now Huo Yun has no intention of dealing with government affairs. For the time being, big and small things have been put aside.


    Two hundred thousand stone grain is about to enter the Huo family''s granary and become the property of the Huo family.


    Think about it, I feel very excited.


    Huo Yun stood up with both hands on his back and walked back and forth in the hall, looking a little anxious. Today is the day for Zhu Biao to go down the mountain with the mountain bandits. There must be no mistake. As a matter of fact, Zhu Biao''s downhill plunder has never made a mistake. This time, Huo Yun was really anxious.


    "Dong! Dong


    Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.


    A yamen servant came in, arched his hand and said, "my Lord, I beg to see Kanghe."


    "Kanghe"


    Huo Yun frowned and asked, "what did he say is a thing?"


    The Yamen servant shook his head and said, "Kang he looks like he''s in a hurry. He seems to have met something important. Kang didn''t say anything about it. "


    Huo Yun heard the words, and his eyes showed impatience.


    In Huo Yun''s eyes, Kang he is cowardly. When he encounters a little thing, it''s like the sky has collapsed.


    Such a person is not worth his trouble.


    Huo Yundang had a decision and waved: "no, let him go back." Huo Yun''s mind is full of Zhu Biao''s plundering food, and he has no mind to deal with Kang He.


    The Yamen servant looked helpless and said, "Kang he said that if you don''t see him, he won''t go."


    "Well, who does he think he is?"


    Huo Yun''s eyes showed an impatient look. But Huo Yun thought about it and waved, "bring people in." After all, Kang he is the chief official of you County, and he is also an important official. Zhu Biao hasn''t been to the county yet. Let''s see him.


    Not long after the Yamen officer retired, Kang he came in in a hurry.


    When Kanghe saw huoyun, he arched his hand and said, "I''ll see you, Kanghe."


    Huo Yun, with a straight face and cold eyes, said, "what''s the matter?"


    Kang He''s eyes were a little erratic, and his face showed a trace of fear. He said, "report back to the county magistrate. Now all the people of the major families in you county have gathered in the County Yamen to talk about the price of farmland with the county magistrate. Because the county magistrate was no longer the county government, they flocked to the lower official''s government and noisily said that the price was unreasonable. Now, it''s all over the place. "


    "The purchase of farmland?"


    Huo Yun''s eyes showed a trace of coldness.


    You county is still in large-scale deforestation, farmland is still in the process of reclamation. Now it''s just the beginning, people are making trouble. If it doesn''t subside, it''s impossible to resell and make money next.


    "Lead the way. I''ll go and have a look."


    Huo Yun is worried about Zhu Biao''s problems, but the problems of farmland must also be solved.


    Kang He led the way and soon came to the main office.


    In the hall, the heads of the major families in you County, as well as many squires in you County, all stood in the hall.


    Besides, even Ma Liang and Kuai Qi are here.


    Huo Yun black face into the hall, eyes one by one swept the hall, eyes sharp as a knife, deep voice asked: "you come to the county government, is to make trouble?"


    In the hall, there was a moment of silence.


    Huo Yun''s power is fully displayed.


    Ma Liang said: "we get together because of a piece of news."


    "What''s the news?" Huo Yun asked.


    With a smile on his face, Ma Liang said: "now there is news outside that the farmland in you county is bought by the Huo family at a low price and then sold at a high price. As the cultivated farmland is exempt from tax, many people want to buy it, and they don''t care about the higher price. But it''s unfair to cheat like this, especially when the county magistrate is a member of the Huo family and connives at the Huo family. "


    Huo Yun big sleeve a whisk, way: "there is nothing unreasonable, since do so, is reasonable." He is very powerful and does not give Ma Liang any face.


    Kuai Qi answered and asked coldly, "doesn''t the county magistrate consider other people''s feelings?"


    Huo Yun was still full of confidence and said: "Kuai Qi, you have no official position and you have not bought good land. The reason why I stand here is because the magistrate trusts you. But after all, you have no right to question me. Please shut up


    Kuai Qi''s eyes narrowed and said with a sneer, "the county magistrate has entered the hall. He hasn''t figured out a thing yet."


    "What''s the matter?"


    Huo Yun frowned and had a bad feeling in his heart.


    "Close the door!"


    Kuai Qi waved. A group of soldiers rushed out of the door and closed the door with a bang.


    Huo Yun saw this scene and looked at Kang He.


    At this time, Kang he had no previous cowardly appearance. Facing Huo Yun, his eyes were angry and he said boldly: "Huo Xiancheng, you are the fish on the chopping board now. You can''t stand your arrogance."


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Huo Yun laughed, still confident: "Kanghe, do you know the consequences of offending me?"Kang he said, "all I know is that the county magistrate wants you to be prosecuted. This time, you will die. "


    Huo Yun tut two, way: "how many years, forget how many years in the end, even someone dare to talk to me like this." He looked at the other squires and the people of the major families and said, "what are you going to do with me, too?"


    A squire stood up and said in a deep voice: "you bully the officials and the people, which leads to the poverty of the people in you county. Today, it''s time for you to take the blame. "


    Another person stood up and yelled, "Huo Yun, admit your guilt."


    All of them criticized Huo Yun.


    However, Huo Yun''s face was still fearless and said with a smile, "you''ve all joined the county magistrate. Good, very good. Unfortunately, you have forgotten who is the local emperor of you county. "


    "This official is the master of you county."


    "If something happens to my official, the Huo family will not give up, nor will Zhu Biao of tianlongling."


    Huo Yun raised his head and said in a loud voice: "to tell you the truth, Zhu Biao is on his way to you county. Today, he will destroy the city and take away 200000 stone grain from you county. "


    "After Zhu Biao entered the city, once he learned that there were three strong points and two weak points in his official position, you would all die."


    "I have been operating in you County for many years. So far, no one has been able to overthrow me. Do you think it''s luck? How can you stand up without any ability


    "Well, a group of naive people."


    Huo Yun tore his face, so he didn''t worry any more. He said in a loud voice: "Zhu Biao is my official. He is about to break the city. You plan to fight against me. You have to consider your current situation."


    As soon as the words came out, everyone frowned and worried.


    Ma Liang looked around and continued: "is Zhu Biao your man or a secret? Who doesn''t know and who doesn''t know the news from you county? Zhu Biao is going down the mountain today. Do you think the county magistrate will not know? "


    Huo Yun''s eyes narrowed slightly when he heard the words.


    The meaning of Ma Liang''s words is that Liu Xiu knows Zhu Biao''s existence.


    Huo Yun turned his eyes and said tentatively, "Ma Liang, Liu Xiu went to Liu Pan''s barracks. There is no army in the county. Once Zhu Biao comes, you will die. If you are wise, I can consider sparing your dog''s life. "


    Ma Liang big sleeve a brush, way: "Huo County Cheng, think adult in Liu Pan''s barracks?"


    Kuai Qi also said, "Huo Yun, you are so stupid."


    Huo Yun asked, "what do you mean?"


    Ma Liang said: "Huo Xiancheng is a smart man. Don''t you understand that we have all done it, and the magistrate may not do it?"


    Huo Yun laughed and sneered: "with Liu Xiu''s 1000 recruits, can you stop Zhu Biao? It''s a big joke. I tell you that Liu Pan and Zhu Biao have been in contact for a long time, and Zhu Biao has been supplying Liu Pan with food. Therefore, in the face of Zhou mu, Liu Pan would not help Liu Xiu even if he did not help Zhu Biao because of food. Liu Xiu''s soldiers can''t stop Zhu Biao. "


    With this remark, people''s faces changed slightly.


    The news was so shocking that they didn''t expect that Liu Pan and Zhu Biao were also connected.

 Chapter 140

    Ma Liang is still confident and calm, neither humble nor overbearing: "Liu Pan and the magistrate are brothers. Do you really think Liu Pan will not help the magistrate? If Liu Pan did not help each other, the county magistrate''s army would not be able to enter the barracks; without Liu Pan''s help, the county magistrate would not be able to ambush Zhu Biao quietly. Now, Zhu Biao must have been killed, and the county magistrate is on his way back. "


    Once these words came out, people from all families were slightly relieved.


    One by one, they began to pray that Liu Xiu would win. After all, they had already torn the skin with Huo Yun.


    Huo Yun said: "in that case, we will wait and see. Before Liu Xiu comes back, you dare not move me, otherwise once Zhu Biao wins, the consequences will be different. "


    Ma Liang said: "Huo Yun, up to now, you still think you are right."


    "Somebody


    Ma Liang waved his hand and the soldiers in the room rushed up.


    Ma Liang said, "tie Huo Yun up and wait for your return with me." Ma Liang stood on Liu Xiu''s side. Without any hesitation, he tied Huo Yun up, and Huo Yun did not resist. He sneered and let the soldiers tie him up.


    "Dong! Dong


    Knock on the door, outside the door.


    "Who?"


    Ma Liang''s brow tightened and his eyes showed a cautious look.


    Outside the gate, Qiu Bao''s voice rang out and said, "Mr. Ma, I''m Qiu Bao."


    Ma Liang said, "open the door!"


    The soldier opened the door and Qiu Bao came in quickly.


    Seeing that Huo Yun had been tied up, Qiu Bao had a bright smile on his face and said, "Mr. Ma, you killed Zhu Biao and defeated Tianlong mountain bandits. Now I''m on my way back. Let me come back and get the message


    "Good!"


    Ma Liang''s heart settled down when he heard the speech.


    After Qiu Bao retreated, Ma Liang looked at Huo Yun and said, "without Zhu Biao, Huo Yun, do you have anything else to say?"


    Huo Yun still didn''t believe it, and said, "it''s impossible. Zhu Biao can''t be killed."


    Ma Liang laughed and said with disdain: "in your eyes, Zhu Biao is very powerful. But in the hands of the county magistrate, Zhu Biao is just a grasshopper all the time. If you step on it, Zhu Biao will die. It''s not worth mentioning. "


    Huo Yun turned his eyes and said, "Liu Xiu doesn''t dare to kill me. The Huo family has a hundred year history in you county. Once the Huo family is in turmoil, you county will inevitably be shaken. "


    Ma Liang said: "You county large-scale famine, shock is not enough?"


    After a pause, Ma Liang said: "you have forgotten one thing. All the families and shops in you County hope that the Huo family will fall apart and that the unjust money for purchasing farmland will be recovered. The county magistrate said that after the Huo family was removed, all the prices were sold according to the money on the county government''s account books, and all the money wronged by the major families was returned. "


    Huo Yun''s face has changed greatly.


    At this moment, Huo Yuncai suddenly found that Liu Xiu isolated him.


    If the Huo family is strong, there will be no problem. However, once the Huo family is on the verge of extinction, the situation is that the wall falls and the people push.


    Lost!


    Huo Yun''s heart is cold.


    The people in the hall saw Huo Yun''s gloomy look, and they were happy again.


    Huo Yun''s defeat means you county has changed. From today on, you county has completely entered the Liu Xiu era. In particular, behind Liu Xiu are the help of the Kuai family, Pang family and Huang family. Liu Xiu''s position in you county is unshakable.


    Half an hour later, the soldiers reported that Liu Xiu had already returned to the city with a group of soldiers.


    The accompanying soldiers immediately surrounded the Huo family.


    At the gate of the county government, Kuai Qi, Ma Liang, Kang He and other members of the major families are waiting for Liu Xiu''s victory.


    When Liu Xiu and Huang Zhong and Pang Tong appeared at the gate of the county government, Huo Yun looked around and didn''t see Zhu Biao. In his heart, there was a trace of expectation.


    Maybe!


    Maybe Zhu Biao is not dead yet!


    Liu Xiu stares at huoyun, smiles, looks at Kuai Qi, and orders: "Kuai Qi, tianlongling has been taken, and the food and property of tianlongling are on the way to the county. You and Ma Liang are ready to put money and grain into the warehouse. "


    "No!"


    Kuai Qi was so excited.


    Win!


    This battle is really won.


    After Huo Yun heard this, the expectation just raised in his heart was shattered again. He hoped that Zhu Biao was not dead, but when he heard Liu Xiu''s words, Huo Yun knew that Zhu Biao must be dead, otherwise Liu Xiu could not arrange Kuai Qi to count the materials.


    The party went back to the hall of the county government.


    After Liu Xiu sat down, his eyes fell on Huo Yun and said, "Huo Yun, today is the time for you to move 200000 stone grain. But with the change of the situation, you become a prisoner. What do you think? "


    Huo Yun knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "county magistrate, I''m wrong. Please forgive me. I''m sure that I''ll make contributions to my crimes and never make mistakes again. "At this moment, Huo Yun only wants to live. As long as we get through the present difficulties and survive, everything will be easy to say.


    The rest of the families were all nervous at Huo Yun''s words. In their view, as long as Huo Yun survives, it is a threat, which is absolutely not allowed.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "if I plan to spare you, will I send troops to block the Huo family and start copying it?"


    Huo Yun''s heart sank to the bottom of the valley.


    What to do?


    How can we survive?


    Huo Yun''s brain is spinning. He uses his brain to save his life. Huo Yun kowtowed to the ground and said in a loud voice: "county magistrate, I am familiar with the situation of you county and can do a lot for you. On the surface, the people of the major families listen to the adults, but they help you for their own interests. Once they have new interests, they will also sell you out. As long as the villains are there, they can be obedient. "


    Instead of answering, Liu Xiu asked, "Huo Yun, you''ve offended a lot of people."


    "Yes


    Huo Yun nodded, he answered honestly.


    Since he became the county magistrate, Huo Yun has taken over the power of you county.


    Liu Xiu said: "we will talk about the affairs of the major families later. But now that they kill you, they''ll thank me. In particular, you county now needs a clean and honest official environment. "


    Huo Yun said: "as long as the adults spare the villain''s life, I will change."


    Liu xiudao: "when you were in you County, you bullied officials, humiliated the people and colluded with thieves and bandits. If you do not die, there will always be a knot in the heart of the officials; if you do not die, there will always be resentment in the heart of the people; if you do not die, the officialdom of you county will never be clear. How can I account to the people if you do not die? "


    Every rhetorical question, like a heavy hammer in general, constantly knocking in Huo Yun''s heart.


    Huo Yun was dejected and said, "my Lord, I can use it." Up to now, Huo Yun can only say such words, he just wants to live mechanically.


    Liu Xiu said: "You county needs an outsider. In the eyes of my official, you can use it to frighten other corrupt officials. "


    Huo Yun knew that he had no hope any more, so he stopped talking.


    With a big wave of his hand, Liu Xiu said, "take it down and wait for the public trial."


    The soldiers came forward and escorted Huo Yun to retreat.


    Liu Xiu looked at all the people in the hall and said with a smile: "today, I can easily control Huo Yun. I depend on your help. Thank you very much. "


    After hearing this, the public said that it was unnecessary.


    All the people saw Liu Xiu''s methods and were in awe of him.


    Arrogant Huo Yun and ferocious Zhu Biao are easily captured by Liu Xiu. In front of Liu Xiu, all the big families dare not have any proud thoughts and are respectful.

 Chapter 141

    Barracks, big accounts of the Chinese army.


    Liu Pan Duan sat right above him, buried himself in his desk and writing. During this period of time, taishici''s actions were frequent, and it was very likely that there would be another war. Liu Pan also tightened his spirit and constantly dispatched troops to prepare for taishici''s attack.


    "Newspaper!"


    Outside the tent, the voice of the soldiers rang out.


    Liu Pan put down his brush and said, "come in!"


    The tent curtain was lifted and a soldier came in quickly.


    "What''s the matter?" Liu Pan asked


    The soldier reported: "report back to the general, there is news from you county that Zhu Biao has been killed. Tomorrow noon, Liu Xiu will be in the South Gate City upstairs public trial Huo Yun


    Liu Pan brow a pick, in the hand of the brush PA of a sound fall on the desk.


    Zhu Biao is dead!


    Public trial Huo Yun!


    How long did it take for Liu Xiu to kill Zhu Biao and take Huo Yun, too fast.


    Liu Pan felt inferior to himself in such a way. If he is the magistrate of you County, he has no idea how to win Zhu Biao and Huo Yun. But after Liu Xiu took office, he won in a short time.


    Liu Pan is color way: "how is concrete to return a responsibility?"


    The soldier shook his head and said, "the specific news has not come back. At present, there is only one news."


    Liu Pan waved his hand and said, "Ben will know. Let''s go down."


    "No!"


    The soldier nodded and immediately backed down.


    Liu Pan sat alone in the camp, digesting the news that Liu Xiu had stabilized the situation in you County, murmured: "less than one month after taking office, he killed Zhu Biao and won Huo Yun. It''s impossible to say that the third younger brother may take over Yuzhang county. Once I have won Yuzhang County, I can also win awards together. Maybe it''s not a bad thing to stand on the side of my third brother. "


    At this time, Liu Pan''s heart began to shake.


    Liu Xiu showed infinite potential, which made Liu Pan confused. He didn''t know how to choose?


    "Just look again."


    After careful consideration, Liu Pan finally decided to stay neutral for the time being.


    ¡­¡­


    The next morning, early in the morning.


    Outside the South Gate of Youxian County, five feet away from the gate of the city, an eight foot high platform was built temporarily.


    Above the platform, a executioner stood with a knife in his hand, looking solemn. Next to the executioner, Huo Yun''s hands were tied behind his back, his head lowered and he said nothing. It was just one night. Huo Yun''s hair was frosty and his eyes were desperate.


    He had thought so clearly that Liu Xiu wanted to kill him. In other words, if Liu Xiu wants to win the support of the people, he must be killed. Huo Yun is a villain and a corrupt official. When Liu Xiu killed him, the people would surely praise him.


    "Unfortunately, if Liu Xiu had just arrived in you county and had not established himself, he would let Zhu Biao go down the mountain to drive Liu Xiu away. Maybe it''s not the result now. "


    Huo Yun''s heart, also has regret.


    Unfortunately, he was one step slower than Liu Xiu and lost to Liu Xiu.


    Around the high platform, countless people have gathered. One by one, the people stare at Huo Yun in the center, pointing and talking. Everyone''s eyes towards Huo Yun are full of disgust.


    "Huo Yun is going to die at last. Such a wolf and tiger should have died long ago. He is responsible for the famine this year and the Huo family''s hoarding of food, which leads us to have no food to eat. "


    "Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. As a matter of fact, it''s natural that we should not be satisfied with retribution. Huo Yun, he should have died long ago. "


    "Huo Yun died. Well, after he died, Youxian was calm. With county magistrate Liu in, we can certainly have a good life. "


    ¡­¡­


    The voice of the people''s comments was constantly introduced into Huo yun''er.


    All the people are happy, and no one speaks well for Huo Yun.


    This situation, Huo Yun''s heart is even more sad. When he was famous, everyone flattered him and flattered him. Wherever they go, the people retreat three feet. Now he has become a prisoner. Anyone can blame him or scold him.


    Sad!


    Huo Yun''s heart gives birth to such a mood.


    "The magistrate is here!"


    Suddenly, the voice of the soldier rang out. Hearing the sound, they looked inside the gate, only to find that it was empty. Looking up, I found that Liu Xiu appeared on the upper floor of the city.


    Liu Xiu was condescending, and his eyes swept countless people inside and outside the city.


    Public trial Huo Yun, the news has already spread.


    Because of this, there are countless people gathered outside the south gate.


    Liu Xiu raised his hands and pressed them down. After a while, inside and outside the city became quiet. Liu Xiu looked at all the people, took a deep breath, and said in a loud voice: "today''s public trial of Huo Yun is to return justice to you County, to the people, and to the countless people who were innocent persecuted by the Huo family."


    As soon as the words came out, a burst of cheering voice rang out in the crowd.


    Liu Xiu''s reputation among the common people has been incomparable after the disaster relief, farming and Gou Hongyun. As soon as he opened his mouth, countless people applauded and cheered.Liu Xiu raised his hand again to signal the people to be quiet.


    Then he took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve and said in a loud voice, "now, read out the accusation of Huo Yun."


    Huo Yun''s body was shocked. He raised his head and immediately fell down again. His eyes were full of despair.


    At this moment, Huo Yun''s heart is really regret, regret last night did not commit suicide. Liu Xiu now tied him up, but also in front of all the people to read out his charges, which means that in the history of you County, Huo Yun will be infamous.


    Since then, countless people have known him, but they all know his charges.


    With sharp eyes, Liu Xiu read aloud: "Huo Yun''s first crime is colluding with mountain bandits. Huo Yun colluded with Zhu Biao of tianlongling to seize money and grain from you county and kill innocent people when he was the county magistrate. "


    Suddenly, soldiers carrying Zhu Biao''s body out, hanging on the tower.


    When people saw Zhu Biao, they were jubilant.


    Liu Xiu killed Zhu Biao yesterday, but the news hasn''t been released completely. Few people know about it. Now it''s published, and the people are cheering. Zhu Biao is a bandit in you County, who has harmed countless people.


    As soon as Liu Xiu took office, he killed Zhu Biao, which shocked the people.


    When the people were a little quiet, Liu Xiu continued: "Huo Yun''s second crime is to injure officials. Huo Yun murdered two magistrates when he was a county magistrate. He even oppressed people with his power, forced six petty officials of the county government to death, and forced more than ten petty officials to leave their hometown. "


    "Third, adultery - dirty women. During his tenure of office, Huo Yun used his power to either forcibly take the woman to his home, or to use the force to suppress others, rape the woman, and become an official of the imperial court in vain. "


    "Fourth, corruption and bribery. Huo Yun bought and sold officials. He also used his power to embezzle money and accept bribes. The amount of money he embezzled and took bribes is even more incalculable. "


    ¡­¡­


    "Huo Yun committed the 19th crime of forcing a good man to become a prostitute. Huo Yun abducted and sold women, forcing countless women to fall into the dust, and since then they have been lonely and helpless. "


    Liu Xiu said nineteen counts in a row, each of which made Huo Yun tremble.


    After 19 counts, Huo Yun was in a cold sweat.


    It''s over!


    He is finished, the Huo family is also finished, the reputation is ruined, and it will last forever. This is Huo Yun''s own outcome.


    Liu Xiu picked up a token in his hand and waved: "Huo Yun has countless crimes. Today, we will make a decision."


    "Chop!"


    The token in hand was thrown down directly.


    When the token fell to the ground, the executioner took down the wooden card inserted in Huo Yun''s back, drank a mouthful of wine and sprayed it on the blade. The wine was all over the sky, and the executioner swung his sword and chopped it down.


    Bright light, in the air across an arc.


    "Poof!"


    Blood splashed out, round rolling head, bone rolling on the ground. Huo Yun still stares big eyes, there is despair, regret and unwilling in the eyes.


    The people witnessed the killing of Huo Yun, and the cheers came one after another.


    Liu Xiu raised a smile and killed Huo Yun. The cohesion of the people was strengthened again. People have more hope for the future and will trust Liu Xiu more.

 Chapter 142

    County Hall.


    CEN Fei respectfully stood in front of Liu Xiushen, his face was numb, his eyes were slightly dim, and he arched his hand and said: "county magistrate, I feel sick recently, and I find it difficult to deal with the administrative affairs of the county government. Therefore, I specially ask you to resign and ask you for your approval."


    After Huo Yun was killed, the direction of the county government turned to Liu Xiu.


    A group of petty officials, one by one, carefully flattered Liu Xiu, for fear of angering Liu Xiu.


    Huo Yun was killed, you county has changed the day, entered the era of Liu Xiu. Especially, Huo Yun''s house was destroyed, Huo''s family was demobilized, and the rest of the people who were involved in Huo Yun''s life were executed and exiled, which made the petty officials scared.


    CEN Fei served as a county officer in the county government, but he never did anything.


    After Liu Xiu came to you County, he didn''t get up for the first time. Instead, he succumbed to Huo Yun''s order. Now that Liu Xiu is in power, cen Fei feels that if he stays, his position will be very embarrassing, which makes Liu Xiu unhappy. So, it''s better to take the initiative to resign and leave.


    This decision was made by Cen Fei after careful consideration.


    Liu Xiu can also give him a good result if he takes the initiative to quit the officialdom of you county. If Liu Xiu is really annoyed, he will put himself in.


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he had a smile in his eyes and asked, "what''s the plan of Cen County Lieutenant next?"


    CEN Fei said: "I don''t feel well. I''ll take a rest for a while and then make plans."


    Liu Xiu once again asked, "has Cen really thought it over?"


    CEN Fei said, "I''ll tell you back. I''ve really thought it over. Please approve it." To this step, cen Fei can no longer regret, can only leave.


    Liu xiudao: "even so, I don''t want to force you. After the resignation of county magistrate Cen, he took a good rest. If one day, cen County Wei wants to come back again, the gate of the county government will be opened for you at any time. "


    CEN Fei was filled with emotion when he heard the speech.


    Even though Liu Xiu had already decided not to use him, what he said made Cen Fei very comfortable.


    "My Lord, let''s go."


    CEN Fei arched his hand and gave a salute, then turned and stepped back.


    Liu Xiu looks at Cen Fei''s back and squints slightly, thinking about the arrangement after Cen Fei leaves. The post of county captain is vacant and needs to be filled.


    "Newspaper!"


    After a short time, Yue Shan came in again and said, "young master, Kang he asked to see you."


    "Please


    Liu Xiu waved and waited quietly.


    After a while, Kanghe came in, coughing and pale. Seeing Liu Xiu, Kang He arched his hand and said, "I''ll see you, my Lord."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "if Master Kang is not in good health, don''t salute. Sit down quickly."


    "Thank you, my Lord!"


    Kang He nodded and knelt down on the mat.


    Liu Xiumian with a smile, asked: "Kang book to find this officer, what''s the matter?"


    Kang He''s face was very pale, and he said powerlessly: "tell me, my Lord, I''m suffering from wind and cold, and I''m in serious condition. I can''t deal with the county government affairs any more. Therefore, I would like to ask your permission to resign. "


    Like Cen Fei, Kang he knows the truth of a emperor and a courtier.


    When Liu Xiu entered you County, they were both indifferent and obedient to Huo Yun. Huo Yun was killed, Kang He and Cen Fei naturally want to be removed from Youxian officialdom, so they both take the initiative to resign.


    In this way, Liu Xiu will give them a way to live.


    Kang He''s idea is very simple, save his life, and safely quit the official circles of you county.


    Liu xiudao: "Kang Zhubo, the disease will always be better, and it is not as good as resigning."


    Kang he said stubbornly, "I''m very ill this time, and I''m a little confused. Please allow me."


    Liu Xiu said: "in this case, I can''t force you to stay any longer. I promise you. It''s just that you are weak and sick. You should pay attention to your health. "


    Kang he said gratefully, "after my resignation, I will take a good rest."


    Liu xiudao said: "when Master Kang has taken good care of himself, he is willing to return to you county. I still welcome him."


    But Kang he knew that Liu Xiu was taking care of his face. Kang he stood up and said, "my Lord, the grass people are in a bad condition, so he left."


    Liu Xiu nodded and watched Kang he leave.


    In this way, the two most important positions of the county captain and the chief were vacated. In addition, Huo Yun''s position as county magistrate has left three positions vacant.


    These three positions need Liu Xiu to arrange his own people on top.


    "Somebody


    Liu xiuphen said, and Yue Shan came in.


    Liu xiudao asked Pang Tong, Kuai Qi, Ma Liang and Deng Zhan to come to the hall for discussion


    "No!"


    When Yue Shan got the order, he turned around and stepped down.


    After a while, Pang Tong, Kuai Qi, Ma Liang and Deng Zhan all came together.


    After a salute, Kuai Qi smiles and reports: "as soon as Yue Shan arrived at the gate of the county government, he met us. It''s just right for the adults to summon us.""Sit down!"


    Liu Xiu smiles and waves his hand.


    When the four sat down, Liu xiudao said, "what''s the matter with you four


    Kuai Qi took the lead in saying, "my Lord, all the grain and money Deng Zhan brought back have been put into storage. In addition, the women on tianlongling have already been sent home and homeless. I''m going to help them find honest and reliable families to marry in you county. "


    Liu xiudao: "your consideration is very comprehensive, you can arrange it."


    Pang Tong said, "all the money, grain and land title obtained by the Huo family have been put into storage. The Huo family has a lot of money, grain is stored in a special cellar, and the title deed is more than one thousand mu. The Huo family is in you County, and it is really rich. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "in this way, you county''s finance and grain need not worry."


    Ma Liang answered again and said, "my Lord, there is another good thing. After taking the Huo family, the price difference of farmland sold by Huo Yun should be returned to the families. After all, Huo Yun cheated them. But after discussion, they decided not to use the money and grain to support the people. "


    Pang Tong said with a sneer, "it''s sad that Huo Yun died. People from all the major families in you county are worried about their situation. They take this opportunity to please the Lord."


    Liu xiudao: "whether it''s flattering or not, in short, it''s a good thing."


    Deng Zhan then said, "young master, all the mountain bandits captured in tianlongling have been incorporated into the military camp. In addition to some mountain bandits in tianlongling, the number of mountain bandits in tianlongling is close to 900. Now, with 1000 newly recruited soldiers, 900 mountain bandits from Tianlong mountain and 100 private soldiers from Ma family in our barracks, there are already 2000 people. "


    After a pause, Deng Zhan continued: "after all the 2000 soldiers in the army have been disrupted, they should be reorganized to avoid disputes among the soldiers."


    Liu xiudao: "it''s right to reorganize after breaking up. You county has grain and weapons, and two thousand soldiers are not many. The key now is to form combat effectiveness. Therefore, we must pay close attention to training and enhance the combat effectiveness of soldiers. "


    Deng Zhan nodded and said, "I understand!"


    Liu Xiu said, "I sent Yueshan to find you because Huo Yun was killed. Cen Fei and Kang he asked to leave. Now, the posts of county magistrate, county captain and chief clerk are all vacant. "


    Kuai Qi, Ma Liang and others understood this.


    This time, Liu Xiu will make a formal appointment.


    When they came to you County, their identity was just Liu Xiu''s entourage, and they had no official positions. After all, Liu Xiu didn''t have any prestige at that time, and was even more elevated. Now it''s different. Liu Xiu, who is in charge of you County, is a real magistrate.

 Chapter 143

    Kuai Qi, Pang Tong, Ma Liang and Deng Zhan stopped talking.


    When it comes to the distribution of official posts, they can''t interfere. This is Liu Xiu''s business. There are three vacant posts in you County, but there are four of them. This is also a problem.


    This kind of problem, they come to contend for, it is very likely that there will be disputes, or even mutual antagonism.


    The best result is Liu Xiu''s arrangement.


    Liu Xiu turned his eyes and fell on Kuai Qi. He said without hesitation: "Mr. Demin is mature and steady. During this period of time in you County, a lot of basic work has been done. Huo Yun''s position is vacant. I hope Mr. Demin can be familiar with the responsibilities of the county magistrate as soon as possible, so that you county can develop faster and better. "


    The county magistrate, who is responsible for the documents, warehouses and prisons of the county government, is the assistant official of the county magistrate, and even exercises power on behalf of the county magistrate. In a county, the magistrate is second only to the magistrate.


    If Liu Xiu is not in you County, Kuai Qi can handle the government affairs of you County instead of Liu Xiu.


    Kuai Qi was also very excited about this right.


    Kuai Qi said, "please rest assured that you will do your duty conscientiously and deal with the affairs of you county." From now on, Kuai Qi has officially become a subordinate of Liu Xiu.


    Before that, Kuai Qi never claimed to be humble. After Liu Xiu''s appointment, the relationship changed.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "I believe in Mr. Demin''s ability."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "Cen Fei is the county captain of you County, but during his term of office, the county captain is totally empty. After the post of county captain was vacated, Deng Zhan took up the post. "


    County captains, like County Cheng, are assistant officials of county magistrates. County captains are in charge of public security, stealing and other matters. Deng Zhan himself took charge of the army for Liu Xiu, and now he is a county captain, which is reasonable.


    Deng Zhan said: "thank you, Lord!"


    Compared with Kuai Qi, Ma Liang and Pang Tong, Deng Zhan''s cultural heritage is naturally insufficient. Even when Deng Zhan met Liu Xiu, he was even more down and out.


    He followed Liu Xiu to the south. In a twinkling of an eye, he became a county captain.


    In my heart, I was also excited.


    Even in Deng Zhan''s mind, he made an assessment himself. Kuai Qi, Pang Tong and Ma Liang should choose the three positions of county magistrate, county captain and chief clerk.


    However, Liu Xiu finally chose him.


    This trust and respect made Deng Zhan even more grateful.


    Liu Xiu stared at Deng Zhan and said, "Deng Zhan, compared with other people, you are much inferior in military strategy. In the future, we should study hard. Otherwise, you don''t want to be commander in chief. In martial arts, you are Deng AI''s teacher. In terms of reading, he can be called your teacher. No shame, no shame. It''s a shame that you know your own shortcomings, but you are so complacent that you don''t want to learn. "


    Deng Zhan was moved in his heart and said: "don''t worry, my Lord. I will study hard."


    Liu Xiu''s words, in Deng Zhan''s view, are ardent expectations, hoping that he can constantly improve himself and finally become the commander of the army.


    A scholar dies for a bosom friend!


    In Deng Zhan''s mind, Liu Xiu is his bole.


    At this time, Pang Tong and Ma Liang were left, but only one position was left in the official position.


    Pang Tong and Ma Liang had a little expectation in their hearts. However, Ma Liang knew that he could not be compared with Pang Tong. On the one hand, Pang Tong followed Liu Xiu from Xiangyang; on the other hand, Pang Tong was Liu Xiu''s elder martial brother; on the most important point, Ma Liang''s self questioning ability was slightly inferior to Pang Tong''s.


    In Ma Liang''s heart, there was no hope.


    Liu Xiu glanced at Pang Tong and Ma Liang and said, "after Kang he left, the position of the master book was empty. I have decided that Ma Liang will be the director of you county. "


    Ma Liang was stunned when he said this. In Pang Tong''s eyes, a trace of disappointment flashed away.


    The chief clerk is in charge of the documents and is the confidant of the county magistrate.


    In terms of the size of his official position, he is not as good as a county captain. However, because he is in charge of documents, he has a close relationship with the county magistrate and the county magistrate. To some extent, his position is no less than that of a county captain.


    Ma Liang recovered, arched his hand and said, "please rest assured that you will do your best to live up to your high expectations."


    Ma Liang was very excited to be the director.


    From now on, Ma Liang is only a master, but once Liu Xiu conquers Yuzhang County, his status will rise.


    Liu Xiu said slowly: "Ji Chang, your ability is outstanding. However, your biggest weakness is that you are somewhat indecisive. If you want to be in power in the future, you should have a tiger spirit at the right time. Otherwise, how can you suppress the situation? "


    "The instructions of the adults are remembered in my heart."


    Ma Liang was convinced, and did not disagree.


    In the past, when he was studying, his teacher once commented on his indecision.


    Liu Xiu can see through at a glance, which shows Liu Xiu''s eyesight.At this time, only Pang Tong was left in the hall, and his arrangement was still pending. Pang Tong was specially invited by Liu Xiu to help him, but now there is no place for him. Pang Tong has a sour feeling in his heart. After all, he is a human being and needs attention.


    Pang Tong didn''t care about the size of his official position, but about Liu Xiu''s esteem.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Pang Tong and continued: "Shiyuan is good at government affairs, but not what you are good at. What you are good at most is layout strategy and marching. So, I appointed you as a military division. Your task now is to prepare for the attack on Yuzhang county. "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "those who do not plan for a lifetime are not able to plan for a while, and those who do not plan for the overall situation are not able to plan for a region. It''s a matter of time before we attack Yuzhang county. Now that you county''s internal troubles have been relieved, we can make preparations. "


    After Pang Tong heard this, a smile came out on his face and said, "don''t worry, my Lord. I will do my best."


    At the moment, Pang Tong''s heart was already in full bloom, and a little knot in his heart dissipated.


    The position of military division is not something that ordinary people can hold. He served as Liu Xiu''s military adviser and coordinated the military affairs. In the army, Deng Zhan, as the head of the army, had to obey Pang Tong''s arrangement.


    The most important thing is to plan Yuzhang County, which is a major event.


    Pang Tong was arrogant and did not pay attention to ordinary small things. Liu Xiu asked him to plan an attack on Yuzhang county. He felt that he was valued. Liu Xiu valued him.


    When Liu Xiu saw Pang Tong''s look, he knew it was right.


    At present, there are only Kuai Qi, Ma Liang, Pang Tong and Deng Zhan in his team. There must be no gap between them. Therefore, Liu Xiu has spent a certain amount of time on the arrangement of everyone.


    Liu Xiushen took a deep breath and continued: "you four, in terms of ability, are not limited by a county magistrate or county captain. Play space, at least at the county level. However, from the level of high-rise buildings, you county is the only foundation we have now. As long as we make concerted efforts, we will certainly be able to make a career


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "You county is our starting point, but Yuzhang county is not our end point, even Jingzhou is not our end point. Ladies and gentlemen, our future is still far away, so please give me more time and give yourself more time. Let''s work together. "


    "Work together!"


    Pang Tong, Kuai Qi, Ma Liang and Deng Zhan showed excitement in their eyes.


    For the first time, Liu Xiu confided in front of them and let them see Liu Xiu''s vision, which was not limited to Jingzhou.

 Chapter 144

    The water of Hunan is flowing and turbulent.


    A big ship went down the water, because it was going down the wind, and it was very fast.


    On the deck, a quiet, elegant looking old man in a brown robe stood up in the wind. This man is no other than Huang Chengyan.


    Beside Huang Chengyan stands Sima Hui.


    With the cool wind and flying hair, Sima Hui''s eyes narrowed and said with a smile: "brother Chengyan, Yueying also wants to come to you county this time. I didn''t expect you to be a villain. Back in Xiangyang, I''m afraid my daughter won''t recognize my father. "


    Huang Chengyan snorted and said, "we don''t know the situation in you county. It''s not appropriate for Yueying to come. If the situation is chaotic and Yueying comes, Liu Xiu will be blocked up. "


    Sima Hui shook his head and said, "I don''t think so. That boy is a thief. Maybe he has already established himself in you county."


    Huang Chengyan said, "when you arrive, you will know."


    Sima Hui said, "the Pang family and the Huang family supported Liu Xiu''s 200000 stone grain. With this batch of grain, in any case, it will be enough to solve the famine in you county. "


    So far, Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui have only heard about the famine in you county.


    They don''t know what happened next.


    Huang Chengyan looked at the Taotao River and sighed: "for Liu Xiu, the Pang family and the Huang family have all made great bets. I hope this boy won''t let us down."


    Sima Hui looked very relaxed and said, "when did you see that he let people down?"


    Huang Chengyan suddenly laughed and said, "virtue, you believe in Liu Xiu."


    Sima Hui said: "Liu Xiu''s calmness is no less than ours. He doesn''t work as young as young people. The most important point is that he has never failed since he came to the fore. I believe in him


    Huang Chengyan laughs, and his heart is full of happiness.


    Liu Xiu is his son-in-law.


    ¡­¡­


    When Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui got off the ship, there was already a carriage waiting. Huang Qi stood respectfully beside Huang Chengyan and said, "master, you won''t let xiugongzi be informed, so I didn''t tell him."


    Huang Chengyan nodded and waved, "get on the carriage and tell me what happened in you county."


    "No!"


    Huang Qi opened the door of the carriage, let Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui enter first, and then get into the carriage.


    Huang Chengyan asked, "are you happy or worried about the situation in you county?"


    Huang Qi had a bright smile in his eyes and said, "great joy!"


    Two words, Huang Chengyan hanging in the air heart, immediately settled down.


    Huang Qi continued: "after arriving in you County, xiugongzi used our 200000 stone grain to eradicate Huo Yun, the county governor, and Zhu Biao, the mountain bandit who colluded with Huo Yun, and won the support of the people."


    Immediately, Huang Qi carefully introduced the plight of you county and the situation of you County, and detailed Liu Xiu''s step-by-step plan, from stabilizing Huo Yun to winning Zhu Biao and then Huo Yun.


    After that, Huang Qi said with emotion: "the method of xiugongzi is amazing. What''s more, according to the present scale of land reclamation, you county is expected to have a good harvest next year. "


    For Liu Xiu, Huang Qi has deep admiration. When he first came to you County, Liu Xiu had no soldiers and no power in his hands, but he opened up the situation and established himself in you county.


    Such means are not simple.


    Huang Chengyan stroked his beard under his jaw and said with a smile, "Liu Xiu is not bad."


    Sima Hui tut tut two times, said: "some people are very happy inside, mouth does not forgive people, alas Brother Chengyan, I don''t think you are right now. "


    Huang Chengyan smile, not words.


    At the beginning, it was a little desolate and sparsely populated.


    Gradually, the desolate place disappeared, replaced by the scene of the fiery field. Around the official road, countless people are digging mountains to cut trees or reclaim wasteland.


    The whole scene is full of vitality.


    Huang Chengyan all the way to observe, looking at the changes in Youxian, nodded, eyes full of appreciation.


    "How many days are you going to stay?" Huang Qi asked


    Huang Chengyan said: "You county is under Liu Xiu''s control. I will stay for two or three days. This time, I have a batch of instruments to give to Liu Xiu. There is nothing else. "


    Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui went south by boat. There was a piece of equipment on board.


    This is the main purpose of Huang Chengyan''s visit to you county.


    When the carriage arrived at the county, it went straight into the city and stopped at Huang''s shop. All the equipment escorted also stopped in the yard of Huang''s shop.


    Huang Chengyan enters the yard and orders Huang Qi to send for Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu knew that Huang Chengyan was coming, and he was even more happy. He took Yueshan to Huang''s shop in a hurry.


    Backyard, in the yard.


    Liu Xiu stood in front of Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui, saluted, and then said, "Mr. Chengyan and Mr. morally come to you County, why don''t you say a word, so that I can meet you ahead of time."Huang Chengyan said: "the reason I didn''t tell you is that I didn''t let you meet me."


    Sima Hui said: "you boy, I haven''t seen you for a while. You''re more mature. It seems that you''re a more tempered person in charge of politics. It''s true that he should be released as an official. "


    When he was in Xiangyang, Liu Xiu was calm, but still a little childish. After all, he was young. In a short period of time in you County, he gradually gained prestige and his childishness naturally disappeared. As a person in charge, his bearing is naturally extraordinary.


    Liu xiudao said: "Mr. morally praised it!" He looked at Huang Chengyan and asked, "Mr. Chengyan, how is Yueying living in Xiangyang?"


    Huang Chengyan said simply: "eat well, sleep well, everything is good."


    Liu Xiu nodded. He was relieved. He asked again, "what''s the matter with you two gentlemen coming to you county?"


    Huang Chengyan said: "this time I came to you county because Yue Ying made improvements after consulting the data of the catapult, which increased the range of the catapult and the weight of the stones thrown. After the girl was transformed, I asked the craftsman to make it. In this group, 15 catapults were made, all of which were sent by big ships. They are all in the backyard of Huang''s shop. After a while, you can send people to the barracks. "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu felt warm in his heart.


    Huang Yueying was not in you County, no longer around him, but he cared about him all the time, and improved the catapult for him.


    This feeling touched Liu Xiu''s heart.


    Liu xiudao: "thank you so much, Mr. Chengyan. How many days are you going to stay this time?"


    "It''s expected to be two to three days," Huang replied. These two days, I''m going to take a walk in you county with virtue. You don''t have to do your business together. "


    Liu xiudao: "in fact, I don''t have much to do except spend a lot of time in the military camp. With Kuai Qi and Ma Liang in charge of government affairs, and Shi Yuan in charge of planning for me, I''m not too busy. "


    Huang Chengyan said: "in a word, you are busy. I''ll go and have a look myself. You can send someone to take the catapult away."


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu nodded and immediately called Yue Shan in. Then he told Deng Zhan to send someone to pick up the catapult. Fifteen catapults were another big killer for Liu Xiu.


    It''s not easy for you county to have such a big killer as a catapult.


    Liu Xiu talked with Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui about the situation in you county and Xiangyang. When he came back to lumen mountain, he was very happy.


    When Deng Zhan arrived, Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan escorted the catapult away.

 Chapter 145

    Barracks, school grounds.


    Craftsmen are assembling the catapult, a busy scene.


    All the 15 catapults from Xiangyang have been dismantled. Otherwise, it is not convenient to carry them. In order to facilitate the reassembly, Huang Yueying specially wrote a manual, which was sent with it.


    In this way, the craftsmen in the barracks can make according to the rules.


    Deng Zhan stood aside, frowning, and asked, "Lord, what''s the use of a catapult?"


    Liu Xiu said, "I''ve tried. Naturally I know." With that, Liu xiuphen told Deng Zhan to find a good school and asked the soldiers to move two 20 jin stones nearby and put them next to the catapult.


    A quarter of an hour later, the catapult was assembled and placed in front of Liu Xiu.


    Small school way: "adult, can operate?" The school knows how to operate the catapult. Now I see the catapult in front of me, I feel itchy.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "start!"


    The primary school rubbed his hands, tried his strength first, estimated the arm strength of the lever, and then told the soldiers to put a 20 Jin stone on the catapult.


    Xiao Xiao takes a deep breath and pulls the rope with both hands.


    Slowly, the lever moves down, the force tightens, and the force of rebound increases.


    "Pa!"


    Suddenly, the school let go, the lever rebounded, hit the horizontal axis, and made a loud noise.


    Twenty kilos of boulders whistling across the sky.


    Mid air, a shadow quickly across, and then fell to the ground.


    "Boom!"


    The big stone hit the ground with a loud noise.


    Deng Zhan saw the location of the stone landing, made a rough estimation, and then widened his eyes. His eyes showed an incredible look, and murmured: "two hundred steps, at least two hundred steps. This catapult can be launched 200 steps away with only one person pulling it. If 15 catapults were launched at the same time, the momentum would be incalculable. "


    Seeing the situation of the catapult, Deng Zhan understood the benefits of the catapult.


    Just think about it, the two armies against each other, the catapult attack at the beginning, the role must be huge. Or, the catapult used to attack the city, also has a great help.


    Liu Xiu also laughed and said, "Deng Zhan, do you understand the power of the catapult?"


    "I see. I see." Deng Zhan swallowed his saliva and said, "the catapult made by Yueying girl is so powerful."


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly, looked at the school and asked, "what''s your name?"


    When Liu Xiu inquired about him, the school was very excited. She said in a loud voice, "I''ll tell you back. The villain''s name is Yuan Ye."


    Liu xiudao: "I think you are very familiar with the operation of the catapult. Have you ever operated it before?"


    Yuan Ye replied, "tell me, my Lord, the villain''s ancestors were craftsmen, so the villain also knows about the catapult."


    Liu Xiu nodded, looked at Deng Zhan, and said, "fifteen catapults need to be taken charge of. Take Yuan Ye out and take charge of the catapults alone. In addition, another 60 soldiers were drawn from the army and trained by Yuan Ye. From now on, the catapult troops are a separate branch of arms system. "


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan nodded and took a look at Yuan Ye. He secretly praised the boy''s good fortune.


    Once, he was promoted.


    Yuan Ye''s heart is also excited, did not expect that he also entered Liu Xiu''s line of sight.


    Liu xiudao said: "Yuan Ye, speeding up the training and throwing stone chariots will be the most important part of the army''s siege. If you are in charge now, you must put the soldiers on the right track as soon as possible. "


    "Don''t worry, my Lord. I will do my best."


    Yuan Ye clasped his fist and thought, we must let the catapult soldiers form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.


    After inspecting the barracks, Liu Xiu left the barracks and returned to the county government. Just back to the county government, Deng AI hurried over and reported: "young master, Kuai Xiancheng is waiting for you in the hall."


    "I see."


    Liu Xiu turned and went to the hall.


    When he came to the hall, Kuai Qi quickly saluted Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "sit down!"


    Kuai Qi sat down and said, "my Lord, I have taken stock of the grain and money collected from tianlongling and Huo''s family these two days. The total amount of grain has exceeded 120000 stone, and the amount of money is countless. "


    "Moreover, the county government already has hundreds of thousands of stone grain, taking into account the grain that was sold to you County gentry before."


    "I believe that I can return the 210000 stone grain of the Kuai family, Pang family and Huang family."


    Kuai Qi said: "after the grain is returned, with the financial resources of the county government and the grain inventory, it can be supported until next year. In addition, farmland is constantly being reclaimed, and energy sources are constantly increasing the grain harvest. "


    "Most importantly, in recent days, many businessmen, squires and families from neighboring counties have appeared in you County, and they have also begun to buy the newly reclaimed land in you county.""The reason is that the adults announced that they would be tax-free."


    "I estimate that the number of people who buy farmland will continue to increase, so I propose to return the grain."


    Kuai Qi, as the county magistrate, is not worried about the lack of food, but about too much food. Once too much grain is overstocked, it is easy to break down. It is better to return it to the three families.


    Liu Xiu thought for a moment, nodded and said: "return the grain, you can arrange it. You can deal with it directly. It''s just that the gentry and the big families from the neighboring counties you mentioned all came to you county to buy land. Are there many people


    Kuai Qi nodded and said: "it is gradually increasing. After all, they are not far from you county. After buying the land and leasing it to the people for farming, you can get a steady stream of income. "


    Liu Xiu said: "this can be encouraged. Now you county has less people and more land. More people make things better. And when they buy land, they have to cultivate it. In the end, it can only be cultivated by the people in you County, or by the people who move to cultivate it. It''s the people of you county or you County who get the benefits. "


    "I understand!"


    Kuai Qi nodded, ready to go down to expand the sale of land.


    "Land can be sold, but remember that good places, or important areas, must stay. Not all places can be sold," Liu reminded


    Kuai Qi had a smile on his face and said, "don''t worry, my Lord. I understand that."


    Kuai Qi held some of the most important areas in his hand and did not sell them. And this part, which was once controlled by the Huo family, is now owned by the government.


    Kuai Qi and Liu Xiu discussed other government affairs, and then Kuai Qi got up and left.


    ¡­¡­


    In three days, Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui traveled all over you county. In today''s Youxian County, there are no beggars. On the contrary, there are countless people who open up their fields, and farmland can be found everywhere.


    When they asked the people about Liu Xiu, they got all praise and gratitude.


    Such a scene makes Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui happy.


    After staying in you County for three days, the two of them were completely down-to-earth and no longer worried about Liu Xiu''s situation in you county. Today''s Liu Xiu is not only popular with the people, but also supported by the army.


    They came and left in a hurry. When he came, he didn''t tell Liu Xiu. When he left, he just sent Liu Xiu to the gate of the city and left on the road.

 Chapter 146

    Chaling County borders You county and is located in the east of you county.


    According to the records of the five emperors, Emperor Yan Shennong was buried at the end of the tea town The recorded tea town is in Chaling County. The tea of Chaling county is very famous in Changsha County.


    From high officials to peddlers, they all like to drink tea from Chaling County.


    Chaling county is mountainous, with mild climate, abundant rainfall, and cold winter, so the tea on the mountain has enough light time, and the tea is fragrant.


    The people of Chaling County have always been proud.


    Because of this, the county magistrate''s life is very comfortable, the people are rich, live and work in peace and contentment, which is the best situation.


    But in recent days, county magistrate Su Rong is not happy.


    Su Rong is in his late fifties. He looks thin. Because he is well maintained, he is quite strong. He was honest and upright, and he fought for the interests of the people everywhere. The people also loved Su Rong very much.


    However, many squires and families in Chaling County went to you county to buy land one after another, which gave Su Rong a headache.


    At the same time, many businessmen in Chaling county also went to you county to buy their homes.


    The agriculture of Chaling county is not good. It depends on tea and businessmen. Once the businessmen leave, the business will inevitably fall, and the tax revenue of the government will also be affected. The present situation is very favorable to you County, but it is harmful to Chaling County.


    Su Rong considers not only the business, but also the common people.


    The people of Chaling County will not leave Chaling County for the time being. Next year, the major families and squires of Chaling County will start farming in you county. Once the people of you county are in short supply, some people of Chaling County will go to you county to farm. This is really bad news for Su Rong.


    When the merchant left, the business went down.


    When the people left, Su Rong''s officials were expected to come to an end.


    In order to stop it, Su Rong broke his head and didn''t come up with a solution.


    In the study, Su Rong summoned the county magistrate and the chief bookkeeper to discuss the matter.


    The county magistrate is also a headache. He has discussed it for many times, but it has not come to a conclusion. It is worrying and even more troublesome. He thought about it and suggested, "Xian Zun, you county can reclaim farmland. In Chaling County, why not? "


    Su Rong didn''t even think about it, but directly retorted: "the situation in you county is special. Because of the severe famine, countless people are not satisfied with their clothes. As long as the government provides food for disaster relief, they are willing to reclaim farmland. They didn''t get much food, they could only get him through. But because of the famine in you County, the people don''t have many ideas. "


    "In Chaling County, most of the people are tea farmers. Many people''s families are not too rich, but they are not too poor. Who will reclaim farmland for a little grain? "


    Su Rong sighed: "the most important thing is that Chaling County can''t produce tens of thousands of stone grains, and it can''t give Liu Xiu the condition of not levying taxes. The situation in Chaling county does not need to be improved, and the same method can not achieve the same effect. "


    Master Book smashes, smashes mouth, way: "adult, might as well let them go."


    The county magistrate also said, "I think so, too."


    Both the chief bookkeeper and Xian Cheng were very worried, and the discussion was fruitless for a long time. They were too agitated.


    Su Rong still shook his head and said, "if people are not far sighted, there must be immediate worries. This matter must be solved. In a way, the departure of businessmen will lead to the transfer of money from Chaling county to you County, which will have a huge impact on Chaling County. "


    With an expression of helplessness, the county magistrate turned his eyes and suddenly said, "since we can''t think of a solution, we should simply set up checkpoints in the areas bordering the two sides. We can only allow people to enter and not allow people or businessmen to go to you county."


    Su Rong shook his head and said, "it''s too influential."


    County Cheng also rolled his eyes and said, "Xian Zun, this is not good, that is not good, there is no way."


    Su Rong''s temper was excellent, but he still didn''t get angry. He continued: "think again, think again, we must solve this matter."


    The county magistrate and the master looked at each other, but they were even more helpless.


    Su Rong added: "if this matter is not solved, Chaling County will inevitably be in trouble from next year. At that time, you county will surely have a bumper harvest of taxes and grain next year, while Chaling County will suffer a sharp decline, which is absolutely not allowed. "


    "County magistrate, if you can''t find a solution, please go to the governor for mediation," he suggested


    Su Rong said: "You county has not targeted Chaling County. Do you think it is possible?"


    After listening, the master sighed.


    Su Rong took a deep breath and said, "if you can''t think of a way, just follow my way."


    On hearing this, the county magistrate and the chief bookkeeper showed a happy look on their faces. As long as it''s the plan of the county master, they don''t refute it. In this way, there will be no argument.


    Up to now, both of them have been exhausted and do not want to toss again.


    Su Rong said: "first, set up checkpoints at the border to prohibit the people of Chaling County from entering you County; second, inform the merchants and squires of Chaling county to postpone their purchase of land in you County; third, send one person to you county to resell their land and stir up the price. As long as the prices of farmland in you county are in disorder and the merchants are not profitable, they will not have other ideasAfter hearing this, the county magistrate and the chief bookkeeper looked at each other with a look of surprise in their eyes. This plan is a bit sinister, because it will further disturb you county and offend Liu Xiu.


    Su Rong had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "there''s no other way. We can only use this kind of strategy and carry it out."


    "No!"


    The county magistrate and the master nodded and agreed.


    ¡­¡­


    You County, county.


    During this period of time, the cultivated farmland in you county was constantly sold. With the solution of the financial problems and the abundance of grain, the people who reclaim farmland get two liters of grain from one liter at the beginning.


    In a short time, the people of you county came out of the famine.


    County government, county government office.


    Kuai Qi is sitting in the office hall, dealing with the latest government affairs.


    Now, after the readjustment of the petty officials in the county government, the efficiency and means of handling affairs have been restored to fairness and justice. Kuai Qi put his government affairs under different categories.


    His business is also a lot easier.


    However, Kuai Qi looked at several bamboo slips in succession, and his face became dignified gradually.


    The contents of the bamboo slips are very simple. Many farmlands reclaimed in Youxian county were bought and sold as soon as they were reclaimed. Many of the things that have been sold are also bought at high prices and then sold at higher prices.


    This kind of situation happened constantly. After the news spread in you County, countless businessmen''s minds floated.


    It''s the idea of many businessmen to buy and then sell to make money.


    What follows is the chaos of the market.


    Kuai Qi realized that the situation was unusual, and immediately called a group of petty officials from the county government to the Department Government. Then he looked at the people under his command and said in a deep voice, "one day, find out who is behind the scenes and make trouble in you county."


    They all went down to carry out the order.


    The power of the government was mobilized, and a day''s time and complete information were put on Kuai Qi''s desk.


    Kuai Qi''s eyes were even more dignified after he saw it.


    The bamboo slips are very simple. There are three people from Chaling County, a neighboring county, who are behind the scenes to stir up the situation in you county. After verification, the three have been controlled.


    After Deng Zhan''s interrogation, according to their confessions, Su Rong, the magistrate of Chaling County, ordered them to do so.


    Why does the magistrate of Chaling County aim at you county?


    Kuai Qi did not think clearly about this situation. But now when it comes to the fight between the two counties, Kuai Qi dares not delay. He immediately gets up and goes to Liu Xiu''s study.

 Chapter 147

    Kuai Qi handed the bamboo slips to Liu Xiu''s desk and then said, "my Lord, I don''t know what the reason is. Chaling County even sent someone to disturb you county. It''s not simple."


    Liu Xiu picked up the bamboo slips and looked at them carefully.


    After reading it, Liu Xiu''s face turned black and his eyes flashed cold. Youxian county is now in a period of chaos. The key to his recovery is the market.


    This method made Liu Xiu angry.


    Liu Xiu suppressed his anger and asked, "about the magistrate of Chaling County, is there anything about him?"


    Kuai Qi replied: "the magistrate of Chaling county is Su Rong. He is nearly 50 years old. According to the investigation, Su Rong loved the people like a son and was a very upright official. Judging from the public praise, he should not target you County, but as a result of interrogation, all the people who came to you county to make trouble were sent by Su Rong. "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu also felt that something was strange.


    Su Rong is a very decent official. Why should he be targeted? After thinking for a while, Liu Xiu turned his mind and thought: is it the arrangement of the Cai family?


    The only suspects that can be considered are the Cai family.


    Liu xiudao said: "for the time being, no matter what the purpose of Su Rong is, you county and Chaling County are not far away from each other. In less than one day, the letter was sent to Chaling County and passed to Su Rong. After reading the letter from you County, Su Rong immediately returned a letter. The letter written by Kuai Qi questions why Chaling county is aimed at you county. Su Ronghui''s letter is that Chaling county does not want to disturb the market, but simply wants to make money.


    Su Rong''s careful thinking, all hide, but also become a money maker. After the document is sealed, Su Rong gives it to the soldiers, who return it to you county.


    After Kuai Qi got the letter, he didn''t open it. He came to Liu Xiu''s study again and handed it to Liu Xiu.


    After reading it, Liu Xiu sneered twice and handed the letter to Kuai Qi.


    Kuai Qi looked at it roughly, with a surprised expression, and said: "Su Rong said that he just wanted to make money, which is too perfunctory. In a word, he put all the responsibilities on the table. Adults want to investigate the responsibility. They can''t blame Su Rong. Instead, the three people sent by Su Rong are responsible. "


    Liu Xiu sneered: "what''s the point of dealing with some cats and dogs? Since Su Rong doesn''t admit it, I''m not to blame. If Su Rong thinks I''m a bully, he''s wrong. "


    Kuai Qi asked, "what are you going to do?"


    Liu xiudao: "tooth for tooth!"


    Kuai Qi has a little expectation in his heart. He also thinks that Su Rong must be taught a lesson in this matter.


    Liu Xiu said, "come on!"


    A yamen servant came in and saluted respectfully.


    Liu Xiu said, "bring Deng Zhan to the county government."


    "No!"


    The Yamen officer retired, turned and left.


    Kuai Qi''s mind turned, and his eyes showed a look of surprise. He was surprised and said, "do you intend to use force when you call Deng Zhan? I''m afraid it will make a big noise. "


    Liu Xiu said: "don''t worry, I have my own discretion."


    A quarter of an hour later, Deng Zhan came to the study, boxing salute.


    Liu Xiu said, "take 1000 soldiers and Yuan Ye''s catapult soldiers with me to the border of you county and Chaling County. Soldiers in the army have been training for such a long time. It''s time to practice. The location is at the junction of the two counties. "


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan was a general in the army. When he heard that he was going out to practice, he was very excited. He immediately turned to prepare.


    However, Kuai Qi was worried and said, "you must be careful about the military affairs of our country."


    To be sure, Kuai Qi hopes to teach Su Rong a lesson, but he also hopes Su Rong to apologize. However, Kuai Qi doesn''t want to make a big fuss, especially when Liu Xiu mobilizes troops to the border.


    When Liu Xiu made his decision, he didn''t change it any more. He waved his hand and said, "when I''m away, the administrative affairs of the county government will be handled by you for the time being."


    "No!"


    Kuai Qi couldn''t persuade him, so he had to agree.


    Liu Xiu went back to his room, changed his clothes, took Deng AI with him, and went straight to the barracks after leaving the county government.


    Barracks, gate.


    When Pang Tong saw Liu Xiu, he looked discontented and said, "my Lord took the army to Chaling County for training, but he didn''t inform me. It''s really not meaningful. Fortunately, I''ve been in the barracks all the time, and I''ve seen the news. Otherwise, I''m sure I''ll miss a good play this time. "


    Liu xiudao: "when you are in the military camp, you naturally want to go forward. It is impossible to miss you."


    Pang Tong did not believe Liu Xiu''s words.


    However, Pang Tong changed his mind and asked, "what happened to the use of the army this time? It''s too hasty to suddenly mobilize 1000 soldiers to the border between you county and Chaling County. "


    Pang Tong did not know about the deployment of troops. He inquired about Deng Zhan, but Deng Zhan only knew orders and didn''t know anything else. He typically asked three questions and didn''t know anything else.


    Liu Xiu said briefly about the situation of Chaling County and said, "I don''t know the purpose of Chaling County, but since the other party wants to play with us, I''m not polite."Pang Tong said, "could it be the Cai family?"


    Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I''ve thought about it too. I can''t rule it out. However, it is not certain. Anyway, let''s give Su Rong a lesson first. "


    Pang Tong laughed and said, "yes, I like it."


    "Step on it! Step on it


    Steady footstep, from far and near.


    There was a click of the armor.


    Wearing armor, sword and armor, Deng Zhan came to Liu Xiu''s side and said, "my Lord, all the 1000 elites have been assembled. All the catapults under Yuan Ye''s command also gathered. "


    Behind Deng Zhan, a thousand soldiers lined up.


    A thousand soldiers, high morale, showing a strong atmosphere.


    In front of the army, Yuan Ye led 60 stone throwing chariots, which also formed a neat line. All the 15 catapults have been dismantled and loaded, and they have to be transported to the border of you county and Chaling County.


    Liu Xiu waved and said, "let''s go!"


    Deng Zhan waved and roared, "let''s go!"


    At the command, the army pulled out of the camp and went to the direction of Chaling County.


    The sudden departure of the army alarmed countless people.


    In particular, there is no war in you County for the time being, but the sudden action of the army makes people''s hearts float. After learning the news, Kuai Qi and Ma Liang issued a notice to tell the people that it was military training. After the adjustment of the county government, their hearts gradually became stable.


    Liu Xiu led the army forward. Half a day later, he came to the border of you county and Chaling County.


    In the evening, the army camped temporarily.


    Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan, Pang Tong and Deng AI gathered in the big account.


    "Lord, we have reached the border of you county and Chaling County. From here, we can even see the checkpoints set up by the other side at the border. Next, what to do? "


    Liu Xiu raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "what is the role of the soldiers of the catapult? It''s the deterrent effect. Tomorrow morning, assemble 15 catapults, pull them out and try their power. The stone accidentally flew into the territory of Chaling County. It was also an unintentional move. "


    Deng Zhan and Pang Tong both laughed.

 Chapter 148

    In the middle of the night, everything is quiet, only the faint sound of insects.


    Su Rong has already gone to bed early. In his sleep, he is no longer the magistrate of Chaling County. Because he has made outstanding achievements in Chaling County, he has been favored by Liu Biao, and has become a prefect of the pastoral side. He controls the power, displays his ambition, and benefits the people.


    "Dong! Dong


    There was a knock on the door, which suddenly sounded outside the room.


    A quick knock on the door awakens Su Rong.


    Su Rong showed a look of regret on his face and said, "who is that?"


    Outside the door, the voice of the county magistrate rang out, "my Lord, I have just received a report from the soldiers. This evening, Liu Xiu led 1000 soldiers to camp at the junction of you county and Chaling County. "


    Su Rong''s face became dignified immediately.


    A trace of sleepiness in the brain disappeared in an instant.


    He got up in a hurry, put on his clothes, opened the door, saw the county magistrate standing at the door, and asked, "what''s the matter?"


    Xian Cheng is also a bleary eyed man. He was awakened in his sleep. Up to now, the county magistrate was also confused. He shook his head and said, "the soldiers only sent back the news of Liu Xiutun''s soldiers. They didn''t know anything else. Liu Xiu''s purpose is not clear for the moment. I''m afraid I can''t react in case something serious happens, so I''ll report it to you in a hurry. "


    Su Rong''s heart sank.


    Liu Xiu''s Chen Bing at the border is indeed a major event. If it is not handled properly, it will have a great impact.


    Su Rong took a deep breath and said, "just stop sleeping. You call the county captain and the chief, and let them discuss business in the hall of the county government. "


    "No!"


    Xian Cheng nodded, then turned and left.


    Su Rong let the maid beat a basin of cold water, washed a face, hurried to the hall.


    When he got to the hall, he combed his thoughts carefully, and then waited quietly.


    Sitting at the top of the hall, Su Rong''s heart also gave birth to a trace of regret. His starting point was for Chaling County, so he aimed at you county. I didn''t expect that Liu Xiu''s action was so big that he went directly to Chen Bing''s border.


    Two quarters of an hour later, the county magistrate, the county captain and the chief came to the hall.


    The county captain and the chief were also sleepy eyed. When they look at Su Rong, their eyes show a puzzled look. What happened in the end, they even let them come all night.


    Su Rong waved his hand and motioned for the three to take their seats.


    Immediately, Su Rong said straight to the point: "just received the news, Liu Xiu led his soldiers to the border of Chaling County. At present, we do not know Liu Xiu''s purpose for the time being, but we do not rule out that Liu Xiu will launch an attack. "


    He frowned and said, "Xian Zun, no matter how brave Liu Xiu is, he dare not attack Chaling County. After all, it''s in Changsha County. Even if he is the third son of Zhou mu, he can''t attack Chaling County. "


    Su Rong said: "nothing is impossible, we must make a response in advance."


    Seeing this, the county captain said, "please give the order of the county magistrate."


    Su Rong said: "you immediately mobilize two thousand soldiers from the barracks and follow me to the border. Tomorrow morning, we must arrive at the junction. Otherwise, there will be disputes tomorrow and the consequences will be unimaginable. "


    "No!"


    The county captain hugged his fist and agreed to come down.


    However, the county captain''s mind is ten thousand unwilling. It''s late at night now, and it''s almost late at night. I have to call the soldiers to go on the way. In particular, it''s too worrying to rush through the night.


    The county captain felt that Su Rong''s order was unreasonable, but he didn''t refute it, so he had to answer it.


    Su Rong looked at the county magistrate and the chief clerk, and said, "when my official was not in the county government, the county magistrate was the agent of government affairs, and the chief clerk was the assistant. You two, stabilize the situation in Chaling County. "


    "No!"


    The county magistrate and the master looked at each other with relief.


    In my mind, I feel that there is nothing about him. What do you call him for in the evening? However, the news left behind, but also let the master''s mind a little comfort.


    Su Rong waves the county magistrate and the governor to step down, and then follows the county magistrate to leave the county government.


    Came to the barracks, mobilized two thousand soldiers, and then rushed through the night. The soldiers in the army have been sleeping for the first half of the night, and now they are still in a daze. They are not in good spirits, and their speed of driving is very slow.


    However, Su Rong''s carriage was not fast either. The county captain saw it in his eyes and didn''t remind him. He told the soldiers to lead his horse on the way, and then he went to sleep on his stomach.


    At dawn, the army came to the border when there was a touch of fish belly white in the East.


    After staying up all night, the soldiers were even more depressed.


    The county captain told the soldiers to camp in the same place. After the army camped, 2000 soldiers were very tired, and their faces were listless. There was nothing to do, so I just went to sleep.


    When the army of Chaling County arrived, Deng Zhan knew it at the first time.


    Dressed in armor, Deng Zhan said: "Lord, the army of Chaling County arrived in the night. From this point of view, the other party must be worried that we will enter Chaling County. "Liu Xiu had a bright smile on his face and said, "isn''t this a good result? It''s daybreak. It''s time to move. He ordered the troops to go on training immediately and carry out the plan after breakfast. "


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan turned around and went out of the barracks.


    Every morning, the soldiers in the barracks have to do pull training. The content of the exercise is very simple, that is, running together. A thousand soldiers out of the camp, orderly running, while running, while shouting.


    The voice is vast, resounding in the sky, and more powerful.


    The sound awakened countless soldiers in Chaling County.


    Su Rong didn''t sleep well all night. He was also sleepy. He was lying on the desk to have a rest. Suddenly he heard the voice coming from outside the barracks. He made a big jump and rushed out of the barracks.


    Standing outside the tent, looking at you county.


    A thousand soldiers, neat running, the lineup, the battle, and the momentum made Su Rong frown. Su Rong looked back at his soldiers, a wilting one.


    Seeing this scene, Su Rong was very angry.


    The county captain yawned, stood beside Su Rong and said, "Xian Zun, if the two armies fight each other, our two thousand soldiers are not opponents of each other."


    In Su Rong''s heart, he sighed again. The county captain''s words were like the tip of a knife in his heart. Staring at the county captain, Su Rong said, "when you see the soldiers under Liu Xiu''s command, don''t you feel guilty at all? They are also trained soldiers. Why is there such a big gap between our soldiers and others? "


    The county captain can only say yes and dare not refute.


    Su Rong was born as a scholar and did not pay attention to the army. As a result, the army in Chaling County was very weak. The weapons and armor used by the soldiers in the army were very common, and the food for the soldiers was also very common.


    Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to train the elite.


    The county captain has mentioned these questions for a long time, but now he doesn''t mention them at all, because he has mentioned them many times. Su Rong''s answer is that heaven will bring great responsibility to this people, so we must first work hard


    In this regard, the county captain can only laugh, and then muddle along.


    A quarter of an hour later, the military training in you County ended, and all the soldiers returned to the camp.


    In the camp, pot after pot of broth, emitting a hot smell. At the same time, each soldier received a meat pie. This scene fell into the eyes of the soldiers and the county captains in Chaling County, which made the county captains and the soldiers talk a lot.


    How delicious!


    In the morning, it turned out to be meat pie.


    The county captain and his soldiers are fed with dry food. How can they get such good treatment.


    The eyes of the soldiers fell on Su Rong.


    Su Rong snorted, "thousands of soldiers eat meat. It''s a waste." After a word, Su Rong turns around and goes to the big account of the Chinese army.


    In this regard, the county magistrate laughed and waved to his soldiers.

 Chapter 149

    Soldiers in the army train in the barracks after breakfast. However, Yuan Ye appeared at the gate of the barracks with his 60 catapults and began to be busy.


    Yuan Ye was familiar with the assembly of the catapult, and his soldiers, under the guidance of Yuan Ye, all learned it. In a short time, these people were familiar with the whole process. Fifteen catapults were placed one by one at the gate of the camp.


    Liu Xiu looked at the assembly of Yuan Ye and others, but also nodded slightly.


    After a while, Yuan Ye stood up and said, "my Lord, all the 15 catapults are in place. Now, you can throw stones. "


    Liu Xiu looked at the army camp in Chaling County and said, "let''s go!"


    "No!"


    Yuan Ye waved and saw the soldiers move.


    Big stones were soon put on the catapult.


    This move immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers in Chaling County. Even after Su Rong got the news, he came out of the central army tent and stood beside the county captain. He looked at the catapult and asked, "county captain, what are those 15 weapons?"


    When the county captain heard this, he almost got angry and bleeding.


    I''m so ignorant that I don''t even know the catapult.


    The county officer shrugged his head and said, "my Lord, the 15 pieces of equipment at the gate of the barracks in you county are called catapults. They are specially used to attack cities or throw stones at the enemy. On the battlefield, if the other side has hundreds of catapults, it is definitely a big killer. Just think about it. If big stones keep falling into the army, the killing power will be enormous. "


    After hearing this, Su Rong said, "Liu Xiu''s catapult is aimed at our direction. Is it possible that he will attack us?"


    At this time, Su Rong''s eyes also have a worried look.


    The county captain shook his head and said, "the stones placed on the catapult are estimated to be about 40 Jin in size. It''s very good that such a heavy stone can be thrown a hundred paces away. It''s very difficult to get into our camp. "


    Su Rong''s heart relaxed.


    Fifteen projection vehicles, ready to go. Suddenly, Yuan Yiye waved his hand


    At one order, fifteen catapults were in operation.


    "Pa! Pop! Bang


    The levers of the catapults soared up and hit the horizontal axis rapidly. They collided with the cloth bags sewn up by the rotten cloth tied on the horizontal axis. The sound was dull and endless.


    Fifteen big stones flew out, accompanied by a harsh roar, with a terrible momentum.


    When Liu Xiu saw this scene, his smile was even more brilliant. What he had to do was to clean up the people in Chaling County.


    "Back, back away!"


    The county captain widens his eyes and realizes that the situation is not right. He protects Su Rong and retreats quickly. He thought that the other side''s range could not reach so far, but he did not expect that big stones might fall into the camp.


    The whole camp was in turmoil.


    "Boom!"


    More than 30 jin of stones fell to the ground.


    The ground vibrated. In an instant, the ground was dented by the falling stones.


    "Boom! Boom! Boom


    Continuous stones, continuous falling. Chaling County camp, as if the general earthquake, constantly shaking. Big rocks hit the ground, and the impact was huge.


    After fifteen big stones fell to the ground, the ground became quiet for a while.


    The county captain looked and found that all the 15 big stones fell at the gate of the camp without exception, and none of them fell into the camp, which was obviously intentional.


    Such accuracy is also terrible.


    Liu Xiu looked at the place where the big stone fell and saw the scene full of potholes. His smile was even stronger. This appetizer is Liu Xiu''s warning to Chaling County.


    Su Rong is very angry. He goes out of the camp in a hurry and goes straight to Liu Xiu. Standing at the junction of you county and Chaling County, Su Rong, with both hands on his back, held his head high and roared, "who is in charge?"


    At the moment, he was angry.


    It''s humiliation, it''s Naked Naked Naked humiliation.


    Liu Xiu waved to stop Yuan Ye and ordered him to stop. He also walked out of the gate of the camp and came to Su Rong. Standing in the territory of you County, he stared at Su Rong and said faintly, "Liu Xiu, my official, is the postmaster of Changsha County and the magistrate of you county."


    "Are you LIU Xiu?"


    Su Rong''s eyes showed a touch of anger.


    Liu Xiu''s action is too arrogant and infuriating.


    With a smile on his lips, Liu Xiu said, "I am Liu Xiu. I am the only person of this age and appearance in you county." After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "look at your age, it should be Su Rong. When Su County Magistrate met his boss, did he not understand the rules? "


    Su Rong''s beard trembled under his jaw and said, "what kind of boss are you? You''re just a county magistrate."


    Liu Xiu said, "magistrate Su, I''m the prefect of Yuzhang county. Of course, you won''t admit this position. But I''m also the postmaster of Changsha County, which supervises all counties in Changsha County. Do you think it''s your superior? "When Su Rong heard this, he suddenly realized that his heart was more dignified.


    All along, Su Rong has ignored Liu Xiu''s post as a postal inspector. With the identity of postal supervisor, Liu Xiu led the army to train soldiers in Chaling County, but Su Rong could not pick out any mistakes.


    Su Rong took a deep breath, arched his hand and said, "I''d like to meet Liu Duyou


    "No gift!"


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and looked at the barracks in Chaling County.


    Su Rong was still dissatisfied and said again: "dare to ask Wang Duyou, why did you county''s army aim at Chaling County''s army?"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "which eye of Su County Magistrate saw you county''s army attacking Chaling County. Did any soldier of Chaling County suffer any casualties? Is there any damage to the fortifications in the camp? The soldiers under my command are just training, and they don''t plan to attack Chaling County. "


    When Su Rong heard this, he was half angry.


    Practice?


    Is there anyone who practices like this? It is clear that the stone was deliberately thrown in front of the barracks.


    Su Rong took a deep breath and said, "Wang Duyou, tell me straight, what are you going to do?"


    Liu Xiu, with a look of contempt on his face, said: "the magistrate of Su County is wrong. I don''t intend to do anything. But I don''t understand why the magistrate of Su made a trip to you county? Could it be that the magistrate of Su County deliberately targeted You County after taking advantage of some people? "


    When Su Rong heard the speech, his face was cold, and he scolded: "please be careful, governor Wang. As the magistrate of Chaling County, I''ve done a good job. I''ve never benefited anyone. Su''s family, though not rich and powerful, is also a scholarly family and should not be insulted. "


    Liu Xiu said: "the magistrate of Su County still cherishes his own feathers, but why does the magistrate of Su County aim at you county? I specially sent someone to deliver the letter to Chaling County, and the magistrate of Su County didn''t give any answer. He just said a few words lightly. "


    At this time, Su Rong finally understood.


    This is the result of his sending people to add fuel to the flames in you county. He angered Liu Xiu.


    Su Rong''s eyes turned, and even said: "after I received the letter, I immediately got back the news. This time they sent people to Youxian just to earn a little money. Unexpectedly, they made decisions without authorization and bought and sold a lot, which led to turmoil in Youxian. This is the fault of the lower officials. "


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, he looked unhappy.


    This kind of answer is obviously evasion.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "just like Su County Magistrate''s reply, I''m only training soldiers now, and I have no other plans. As a post inspector, I will supervise the counties. Next, I may lead the soldiers into Chaling County and continue to train them. "


    "You..."


    Su Rong stares at Liu Xiu. He doesn''t expect Liu Xiu to be such a rascal.


    Such a move made Su Rong speechless.


    Liu Xiu is also observing Su Rong. He finds that Su Rong is very simple, or very pure. His words and deeds are full of obstinacy.


    Perhaps, Su Rong did not benefit from Cai Mao.


    Although Liu Xiu had a guess in his heart, he didn''t give up his suspicion of Su Rong. At least Su Rong''s suspicion can''t be washed away before the evidence is clear.

 Chapter 150

    Su Rong really doesn''t know what to do with Liu Xiu?


    In terms of official position, Liu Xiu is the governor of Changsha County. His official position is bigger than that of him and he supervises all counties.


    In terms of background, Liu Xiu is Liu Biao''s son with a strong background.


    In terms of ability, Liu Xiu is good at both literature and martial arts, and even Cao Cao is not stingy to praise him.


    Su Rong is a scholar with a scholarly family. He has no background and no backing. He is the magistrate of a county only by his own ability. He wants to be reasonable, but Liu Xiu is unreasonable, which makes Su Rong speechless.


    Liu Xiu stares at Su Rong with sharp eyes.


    In the face of Liu Xiu''s aggressive momentum, Su Rong''s eyes are erratic and dare not face Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    It''s as if his mind is going to be seen through.


    The young man in front of him was already very powerful, far beyond Su Rong.


    Liu Xiu struck while the iron was hot and asked again, "magistrate Su, send someone to make trouble in you county. There must be an explanation for this. What is the reason? Please explain


    However, Su Rong shook his head and said, "I''ve explained clearly just now. They went to you County just to earn some money, but they didn''t intend to disturb you county. It''s just that they didn''t expect today''s consequences. "


    "Good, good, good, good backbone."


    Liu Xiulian said three good words, and he had no hope for Su Rong.


    Up to now, Su Rong is still unrepentant. Su Rong gave Liu Xiu the impression that he had hidden the truth. As a result, Liu Xiu suspected that Su Rong had benefited from Cai Mao.


    "Yuan Ye, keep practicing."


    Liu Xiu waved, turned and walked to the big account of the Chinese army. He didn''t pay any attention to Su Rong.


    Yuan Ye grinned and ordered, "prepare!"


    One by one, the soldiers of the catapults began to load stones again. Fifteen catapults were soon loaded and launched. Stones flying, straight to Chaling County army camp.


    "Boom! Boom


    The ground is shaking one after another.


    Su Rong looked back at the scene at the gate of the camp. His face was livid and he clenched his fist.


    Liu Xiu turned around and saw Su Rong still standing on the border line, saying: "Su county magistrate, the stone throwing drill may inadvertently enter your camp, so let your soldiers be careful. After being hit, it''s either death or disability. Besides, now we use big stones. Next, we may replace them with tins. You should be careful. "


    With a flick of the big sleeve, Liu Xiu went straight into the big account of the Chinese army.


    "Alas..."


    Su Rong sighed with remorse.


    This time, I really poked the hornet''s nest and found my own guilt. He wanted to catch up with Liu Xiu to make it clear, but finally he turned back to camp. Su Rong sat cross legged, worried, unable to think of a solution.


    The county captain came in and worried: "Xian Zun, Liu Xiu''s soldiers are still throwing stones. Dozens of stones fell at the gate of the camp. Now the gate of the camp is a mess. The morale of the soldiers was even worse. In the long run, Chaling County can no longer raise its head in front of you county. "


    Su Rong looked up at the county captain, then lowered his head and did not speak.


    The county magistrate continued: "if it continues, it will have a greater impact on Chaling County. At that time, everyone will say that Chaling county is incompetent. Since you don''t want to be soft, you can lead the soldiers to kill them. Even if you lose, it''s glorious. It''s too oppressive to hide in the camp. "


    As the county captain of Chaling County, the Army soldiers are hiding in the camp, and the county captain is also very depressed.


    "Can we win?" Su Rong asked


    The county captain shook his head and said, "I can''t win, but I can''t hold back."


    Su Rong said: "war will kill people."


    The county magistrate said, "since it''s a war, there''s no reason not to die."


    Su Rong hears the speech and is silent.


    Soldier''s life is also life. It''s all his fault. He devoted himself to Chaling County, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a result.


    Su Rong clenched his fist and then loosened it.


    "Hoo


    Su Rong took a long breath and said, "I''ll go to see Liu Xiu and make it clear to him."


    The county magistrate was surprised. In his eyes, Su Rong insisted on saving face and was stubborn as a scholar. However, it is undeniable that Su Rong loves the people like a son. He has no official airs and is easy to speak.


    With Su Rong''s personality, it''s not easy to bow down.


    The county captain sighed in his heart and said, "Xian Zun, in fact, it''s not a big deal. We can withdraw our troops. If you retreat, you can avoid Liu Xiu''s edge. "


    Su Rong said, "didn''t you listen to Liu Xiu? Even if we retreat, he will lead the army into Chaling County. He is the postmaster of Changsha County, and it''s normal to train soldiers. "


    "County magistrate, I''ll go with you," said the magistrate


    Su Rong waved: "what are you going to do with me? It''s enough for a person to be humiliated. Why should I pull on you again. You''re in the camp. I''ll see Liu Xiu. I''ll take care of what I''ve done. "The county captain opened his mouth and finally sighed.


    Su Rong got up and walked out of the Chinese army tent. The catapult stopped for a moment. It was rare to have a moment of silence.


    When Su Rong entered you County, Deng Zhan directly welcomed him.


    Su Rong faced Deng Zhan with calm eyes and said: "I want to see Liu Duyou!"


    "Follow me," Deng said Taking Su Rong to the Chinese army, Deng Zhan said: "you wait, I will report the news to the Lord." After entering the camp, Deng Zhan quickly came out and said, "please!"


    Su Rong nodded and entered the camp.


    Liu Xiu saw Su Rong and asked in a cold voice, "the magistrate of Su County has come to see me. Is there anything to say?"


    Su Rong said, "this time I''m here, I''m asking Governor Liu to withdraw."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Su County Magistrate is the county magistrate of Chaling County, and has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of you county. What''s more, is it the magistrate of Su County who wants to interfere in his decision? "


    Su Rong folded his hands and arched his hand and said, "Liu Duyou, everything is caused by the lower official. There is no need to affect Chaling County. The lower official is willing to admit his mistake and apologize. Please withdraw."


    Liu Xiu laughed, but did not speak.


    Su Rong knows that Liu Xiu is waiting for him to explain, and Su Rong knows that the reason for making money doesn''t make sense. At this point, he can no longer hide.


    Su Rong took a deep breath and said, "You county''s land price is volatile. It''s ordered by the lower officials."


    "Why!"


    Liu xiuxin said that Su Rong finally obeyed.


    The so-called "making money" theory can not be established in Su Rong''s case.


    Su Rong, with a dignified face, said slowly, "there are two reasons for disturbing the land prices in you county. First, you County continued to reclaim farmland, resulting in Chaling County businessmen have to go. With the transfer of merchants, the business of Chaling County has plummeted, greatly affected. "


    "Second, the farmland in you county has been reclaimed and no one is farming it for the time being. After the spring of next year, it will need countless people to cultivate it. You county''s current situation, there may be insufficient people. In particular, many people in Chaling County have bought land, so it is very likely that people in Chaling County will go to you county to cultivate, which will reduce the population of Chaling County. "


    "For two reasons, I sent people to disrupt the situation in you county."


    Su Rong continued: "in addition, the lower officials set up checkpoints to prohibit businessmen and people from passing through. The purpose is also to prevent people from going to you county to buy farmland."


    After listening, Liu Xiu evaluated the authenticity of Su Rong''s words.


    When it comes to the situation in you County, Liu Xiu can''t easily expose it.


    Su Rong''s expression was dignified, and he said: "this time, it was caused by the lower official alone. Please don''t affect the innocent. If Governor Liu can''t be angry, he will go home. "


    In a word, it shows endless helplessness and sadness.


    Su Rong''s starting point was to protect Chaling County, but he did not expect that it would develop to this stage. Su Rong can directly complain to Han Xuan, the Sheriff of Changsha, but Su Rong knows that this time it''s his fault. Even if his starting point is good, he can only bear the responsibility.

 Chapter 151

    Liu Xiu stares at Su Rong and his heart turns. At this point, no matter whether Su Rong has ever contacted Cai Mao or not, Liu Xiu knows that Su Rong is a person who cares for the people, or that he is wholeheartedly thinking about Chaling County.


    It was also of great help to Liu Xiu to win over Su Rong.


    Even if Su Rongzhen had contact with CAI Mao, if Liu Xiu wooed Su Rong, it would indirectly weaken Cai Mao''s influence on you county.


    Moreover, Yuzhang county is located in the east of Changsha County. Liu Xiu will go out of you County in the future, and he will inevitably go through Chaling County. It is necessary to have a good relationship with Su Rong.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "magistrate Su, sit down!"


    Su Rong felt uneasy. When he heard Liu Xiu''s words, he didn''t sit down. Instead, he asked, "Liu Duyou, this time it''s Chaling County''s fault, and it''s even lower officials'' fault. I beg you to withdraw your troops. "


    Liu xiudao: "sit down and say."


    Su Rong sat down and looked at Liu Xiu with a strong desire in his eyes.


    Liu Xiu asked, "why does Su County Magistrate think that his official''s reclamation of farmland will affect Chaling County?"


    When it comes to the internal affairs of Chaling County, Su Rong''s face full of vicissitudes, showing a solemn look, slowly said: "food is the people''s priority. When the people of Chaling County go to you County, what should Chaling County do? Chaling County itself has many mountains and few fields, and many of the farmland soil is too poor, the harvest is not high. As soon as the farmland of you county comes out, the people of Chaling County will naturally go to you county. "


    After a pause, Su Rong added: "the departure of the merchants will also have a huge impact on Chaling County. At that time, the number of people farming will be reduced, which will lead to insufficient food; the departure of businessmen will lead to the barrenness of Chaling County. Such a situation is a precursor to the gradual decline of Chaling County. As a parent official of Chaling County, I can''t sit back and ignore it. "


    Liu Xiu after hearing, said with a smile: "you think about it, there is no solution, out of the rotten move for you county."


    "Yes


    Su Rong nodded and looked embarrassed.


    Liu xiudao: "when you encounter difficulties, why don''t you consult with me? The plight of Chaling county is not insurmountable. "


    Su Rong''s face was even more embarrassed. At that time, he was thinking about disrupting the market in you County, and the crisis in Chaling County would be smooth transition. He never thought about cooperating with Liu Xiu.


    Su Rong said: "at that time, it was the lower officials who drilled the corner of the ox, and they were not thoughtful." From Liu Xiu''s tone, Su Rong noticed the relaxation of the atmosphere and the change of Liu Xiu''s tone, which made him feel much more stable.


    Liu xiudao: "You county is adjacent to Chaling County. To a certain extent, the development of Chaling County can drive the development of you county. In the same way, if you county develops well, it can also drive the development of Chaling County. "


    Su Rong said: "the situation in the two counties is different after all."


    Liu xiudao: "it is precisely because of the different situations in you county and Chaling county that we can achieve the complementary effect. If it is the same, there will always be a fight, and one side will be affected. "


    After hearing this, Su Rong was excited, not for others, but for the people.


    Su Rong arched his hand and said, "please give me your advice!"


    Liu Xiu said: "the most famous tea in Chaling county is tea, but now the tea in Chaling county is good, but the limitation is too big. First, there are many and scattered tea farmers, who have no cohesive force, can''t make unified arrangements, and can''t plant and pick as much as possible. Liu Xiu said: "Su county magistrate, you county is a big agricultural county with flat terrain, suitable for farming; Chaling county is mostly mountainous, suitable for planting tea, suitable for developing commerce."


    "The two counties are different and have different emphases."


    "In this case, we can unite, help each other and make up for each other''s shortcomings."


    Liu Xiu said: "You county''s tuntian is a unified arrangement. In the same way, Chaling County''s Chashan can also be managed and sold in a unified way. The advantage is that you can focus on things. "


    Su Rong looked embarrassed and said, "it''s very difficult to finish this. In particular, it is not easy to persuade so many businessmen to hand over the tea mountain. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head.


    Su Rong is honest, but his ability is not so good.


    Such people need a strong assistant, otherwise the work will be difficult to carry on. But for Liu Xiu, Su Rong''s ability is not so good, on the contrary, it is a good thing to let Liu Xiu smoothly intervene in the government affairs of Chaling County.


    Liu Xiu said: "the unified management of tea mountain does not mean that it must be collected. Well, I will make overall arrangements for the management of tea in Chaling County. At that time, Su County Magistrate will cooperate. What does Su County Magistrate think? "


    Su Rong didn''t even think about it and said, "yes!"


    Su Rong is happy to be able to solve things easily.


    Liu Xiu said: "in addition, next year''s grain in you county is bound to have a good harvest. In order to stabilize the grain price of Chaling County, I will transfer the grain to Chaling County at the lowest price after the grain is put into storage next year, so as to ensure the grain stability of Chaling County. In this way, Chaling County will not have food problems. "


    Su Rong smile is more brilliant, even busy way: "thank you for your post, there is a post in the governor, the lower officer is more at ease."


    Liu xiudao: "I will send someone to Chaling County as soon as possible to get in touch with you and arrange the next arrangements. Now, please return to Chaling county to stabilize people''s mind. "Su Rong said: "thank you for your help. I''ll leave."


    Liu Xiu gets up to send Su Rong away, then goes back to the camp and orders Deng Zhan to withdraw.


    Half an hour later, the army returned to you county.


    After Su Rong returned to the barracks, he did not tell the county captain the news. Instead, he directly ordered the withdrawal of troops and returned to Chaling County with his troops. Although Su Rong was of average ability, he understood that Liu Xiu sent people to Chaling County, which meant that Liu Xiu had taken part in the government affairs of Chaling County.


    However, Su Rong is not disgusted.


    On the one hand, Su Rong is willing to do things that are good for the people; on the other hand, Liu Xiu''s ability is quite extraordinary. Now loyalty to Liu Xiu is a good choice.

 Chapter 152

    After Liu Xiu led his troops back to the county seat and returned to the county government, he began to sort out the ideas of tea development in Chaling County.


    To develop tea, not only planting and picking, but also supporting packaging and sales, and even the tea sets and tea art that did not appear in this era, all need Liu Xiu''s elaboration.


    Two days later, Liu Xiu sorted out his ideas.


    Then, someone sent Kuai Qi and Ma Liang to the study.


    When the three sat down, Liu Xiu looked at Kuai Qi and said, "the matter in Chaling County has been solved. Have the three detained Chaling people been released?"


    Kuai Qi nodded and said, "don''t worry, you have been released back to Chaling County."


    Liu Weirong and I are willing to negotiate this time Immediately, Liu Xiu talked in detail with Su Rong about developing tea and supporting Chaling County.


    After that, Liu xiudao said: "next, we will send a person to Chaling county to preside over the development of tea. In other words, to preside over the government affairs of Chaling County. "


    Kuai Qi and Ma Liang look at each other and understand. Obviously, the people who were transferred this time were chosen from the two of them. After all, there are no other available candidates under Liu Xiu.


    "My idea is that Ma Liang will go to Chaling County," Liu said


    At present, Kuai Qi is in charge of the government affairs of you County, and Ma Liang is the assistant. Everything in you county is on the right track. Even without Ma Liang''s help, Kuai Qi can handle the affairs of you County well.


    It is the most suitable choice to transfer Ma Liang.


    Ma Liang thought for a moment and said, "my Lord, Ma Liang is willing to go. I just went to Chaling County. I felt it was too sudden. After all, I wanted to develop tea. I didn''t know how to start for a while. "


    Liu Xiu said, "I''ve thought about it for you."


    With these words, Liu Xiu took out the bamboo slips that had already been sorted out and handed them to Ma Liang.


    The bamboo slips contain ideas and suggestions for the development of tea industry.


    Ma Liang''s quick browsing made him more frightened. After reading it, Ma Liang solemnly said: "the master''s plan is not only to integrate the tea merchants and farmers in Chaling County, but also to change a series of tea crafts and tea sets. This plan is very grand. I''m afraid it can''t be completed overnight if we want to operate it. "


    The plan in the bamboo slips involves the integration of tea brands in Chaling County, followed by the methods of making tea, the tea sets for making tea, and other aspects such as sales.


    It''s really difficult for Ma Liang to operate.


    Liu Xiu said: "although there are difficulties, Su Rong will try his best to help you. In addition, the money needed can be directly allocated from you county. Of course, if you can get things done without spending money, that''s the best result. "


    Ma Liang smiles bitterly, and it''s impossible to do things well without spending money. He is already on the shelf, said: "please rest assured, my Lord, I will go all out."


    Liu Xiu said, "I believe you."


    Ma Liang nodded solemnly, although it is difficult to develop the tea industry in Chaling County, it is also a test. If we can handle the affairs of Chaling County well, it will be a great experience for him.


    That afternoon, under the protection of the soldiers, Ma Liang went to Chaling County.


    The government affairs of you county are under the pressure of Kuai Qi.


    Liu Xiu, Pang Tong and Deng Zhan are busy with the training of soldiers. Every day, they have to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army.


    Barracks, big accounts of the Chinese army.


    Liu Xiu, Pang Tong and Deng Zhan were seated.


    Yueshan stood at the bottom, reporting: "my Lord, just got the news from Ancheng County, Jiang Dongbing suddenly entered Ancheng county and gained control of Ancheng county."


    Ancheng County, located to the east of Chaling County, borders Yuzhang county.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes became sharp, and a touch of excitement and joy appeared in his eyes.


    Liu Xiu came to you County for the purpose of seizing Yuzhang county.


    Recently, busy with the internal affairs of you County, there is no time to plan the affairs of Yuzhang County, and there is no suitable entry point. Pang Tong is dealing with all the situations.


    When Jiangdong took the initiative to invade, Liu Xiu had a chance.


    Pang Tong said: "Lord, Jiangdong invades Changsha County and takes Ancheng County in one go. The speed is amazing. Detailed information must be inquired so as to facilitate the analysis of the situation. "


    Liu Xiu said: "when this happens, Liu Pan will definitely make some moves. I''ll go to see Liu Pan''s actions right away." After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "Deng Zhan, order the army to be ready and ready to start at any time."


    "No!"


    Deng zhande''s eyes became dignified.


    Liu Xiu looked at Pang Tong again and said, "Shiyuan, you should stay in the military camp and find out the situation of Tai Shici as soon as possible. If you don''t know the situation of Tai Shici, it will be very difficult. "


    Pang Tong nodded and said, "don''t worry, I will arrange it."


    Liu Xiu immediately left the camp with Yueshan and Qiu Bao and went to Liupan camp.As soon as I arrived at the camp, I saw the soldiers in the camp gathering and preparing for the war. Liu Xiu went straight to the big account shop. He saw Liu Pan in armor in the big account of the Chinese army. He arched his hand and said, "brother, are you going to fight?"


    When Liu Pan heard the speech, he knew that Liu Xiu had already known the news. He said with a straight face: "taishici conquered Ancheng County, and Changsha County was in crisis. I have to face it."


    Liu Xiu asked, "how many troops are taishici?"


    "Unknown for the moment!"


    Liu Pan didn''t even think about it and answered directly.


    Liu Xiu frowned slightly, then asked: "under the account of Tai Shici, which counsellors and powerful generals are there?"


    Liu Pan shook his head and said, "I don''t know the news yet."


    Liu Xiu''s heart sank down and asked again, "brother, what strategy did Tai Shici take to attack Ancheng county with his soldiers? Why was he so quick?"


    Liu Pan said, "I don''t know."


    At this time, Liu Pan''s eyes, showing a trace of impatience. Liu Pan also just received the news from the front line. He didn''t know what was going on.


    Liu Pan had to lead his army to meet the fall of Ancheng County, otherwise, once taishici drove straight in, the consequences would be unimaginable. But at this time, Liu Xiu ran over and threw out a lot of problems, which made Liu Pan fidgety.


    Liu Xiu took a look at Liu Pan and sighed in his heart.


    Even taishici''s situation is not clear, Liu Pan is about to send troops to, too hasty.


    The most taboo thing in marching and fighting is the random collision of headless flies.


    Liu Xiu said: "brother, I don''t know the situation of Tai Shici now. I suggest that we should hold still and don''t send troops for the time being. We should find out Tai Shici''s intention and strength first, and then we can go there no later. It''s too dangerous to go now and know nothing about it. "


    Liu Pan''s eyes were firm and his face showed a deep look of contempt. He waved and said, "third brother, you don''t understand the military affairs. You are very talented and good at managing internal affairs, but marching and fighting are not the same. The war situation is unpredictable. One step later may be the end of defeat. You hurry back to the county, your task is to stabilize the situation in you County, do not let the people panic. "


    Liu Pan appreciated Liu Xiu''s ability and literary talent in managing internal affairs. But when it comes to marching and fighting, Liu Pan doesn''t believe in Liu Xiu, but believes in his own decision.


    Liu Pan also said: "there are many things in the army. I''ll be busy first. Go back to the city as soon as possible."


    After that, Liu Pan turned and left.


    Seeing Liu Pan''s stubborn face, Liu Xiu sighed and turned to walk out. In the barracks, Liu Pan is the chief general, and Liu Xiu can''t intervene in what Liu Pan decides.


    Out of the tent, Liu Xiu went to the gate of the camp.


    "County magistrate Liu, wait a minute!"


    Suddenly, a loud voice came from behind Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu turned to see, but Huang Zhong, dressed in armor, strode forward. Liu Xiu said with a smile, "general Hansheng, what can I do for you?"


    Huang Zhong said: "general pan led his troops to meet taishici in a hurry, and the preparations were not enough. The most important thing is that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. We are not clear about the situation of Tai Shici. Therefore, the general hopes that while the county magistrate is in charge of you County, he will pay close attention to the situation on the front line and be ready to respond to general pan at any time. "


    Huang Zhong was worried about the war.


    Liu Xiu serious eyes, said: "Han Sheng general rest assured, taishici kill, Liu Xiu duty bound."


    Huang Zhong said: "thank you, county magistrate. The army is about to leave. I will leave at the end." With that, Huang Zhong went to Liu Pan in a hurry. He is Liu Pan''s subordinate and must obey Liu Pan''s orders.


    After seeing Huang Zhong off, Liu Xiu left the barracks and went back to the county.

 Chapter 153

    Liu Pan''s action was very fast. In the afternoon of that day, 30000 troops in the camp left and went straight to Ancheng county. One day, Liu Pan''s army had entered Chaling County. After a night''s rest in Chaling County, the army continued on its way.


    Half a day later, Liu Pan led the army into the territory of Ancheng county.


    All the way forward, without any obstacles.


    But the more so, the more worried and anxious Huang Zhong was.


    Everything went so well.


    Huang Zhong drove his horse to Liu Pan''s side and reported: "general, taishici''s situation is not clear. I''m afraid it''s not right for us to fight directly to the county seat of Ancheng county. It''s better to set up camp first, make steady progress, talk and listen to the situation clearly, and then move forward. "


    Liu Pan shakes his head and can''t wait to say, "I don''t think there''s anything wrong with it. You''re so thoughtful."


    Liu Pan is looking forward to this battle.


    Thirty thousand troops went to an''cheng County in a mighty way, and the troops were strong. Even though Tai Shici had a plot, he could not resist it. Liu Pan''s strategy is to defeat taishici.


    Huang Zhong also intended to persuade. Liu Pan directly waved to stop him and said, "general Hansheng, I have made up my mind. I don''t need to persuade any more. Now, just follow the orders. "


    Liu Pan''s headstrong makes Huang Zhong helpless.


    After Huang Zhong retired, he was even more worried. The army continued to advance, and it took another half day to reach the foot of Ancheng county. At this time, the sun was setting. It was already evening. Liu Pan didn''t attack the city all night. He ordered to camp outside the city.


    Inside the city, the county government.


    In the hall, Tess sat upright above.


    Below, sat a group of young generals under the command of Tai Shici, among whom sun Ren stood out.


    Sun Ren, dressed in armor and clasping his fists, said: "general, Liu Pangang came to Ancheng county from a long distance. His soldiers are tired and belong to a tired division. I suggest attacking Liu Pan at night and beating up Liu Pan''s army. "


    His voice, as usual, was slightly feminine.


    Tai Shici shook his head and said, "it''s not appropriate to attack Liu Pan at night. Although Liu Pan''s soldiers were tired, they were also elite. To attack now is to attack. Even if we win, we will kill 1000 enemies and lose 800. It''s not worth it. "


    Taishici is eight feet long. He has a beautiful beard under his jaw. His sword eyebrows are bright and his nose is like gall. He has a national character face, which has a sense of dignity.


    Before taishici came to Yuzhang County, Liu Pan often raided Yuzhang County, which made Sun Quan headache. After taishici arrived, he attacked again and again, which made Liu Pan tired of coping. Yuzhang county has been peaceful ever since.


    Taishici''s goal this time is to win Changsha County and add another county for Sun Quan.


    However, sun Ren refused and said, "general, if you don''t take the initiative to attack tonight, tomorrow, Liu Pan will attack the city. At that time, it''s not going to be a bloody battle. "


    Tai Shici stroked the beautiful beard under his jaw and said with a smile, "Liu Pan''s active attack is exactly the result I want."


    Sun Ren frowned and said, "does the general have a plan?"


    Tai Shici said with a smile: "everything has been arranged, waiting for Liu Pan to attack the city."


    After hearing this, sun Ren knew that it was impossible to attack at night.


    Taishici continued: "Mr. Ren, I must be careful when the Lord entrusts the important affairs of Yuzhang county to me. Every step, we must win steadily. If you don''t feel used to it, you can go back to Wujun. "


    Sun Ren had no choice but to take Tai Shici. He snorted and said, "I see how you can win."


    With the big sleeve flicking, sun Ren turned and left.


    Tai Shici gently shook his head and murmured: "how did the Lord let him come to Yuzhang county? It''s a mess." Speaking to himself, Tai Shici turned his eyes to the other generals and gave them orders one by one.


    The next morning, it was just dawn, and the battle drums were already beating outside the city.


    The sound of drums broke the quiet morning.


    The overwhelming Jingzhou army rushed to Ancheng county.


    Taishici, sunren and a group of generals all arrived on the upper floor of Ancheng county. When he saw the scene outside the city, his eyes didn''t worry, but showed a smile.


    It wasn''t long before the two sides met in the West Gate Tower of Ancheng county.


    Under Liu Pan''s command, the army charged, and the army on the city floor, such as catapults, bows and arrows, attacked fiercely, which made the Jiangdong soldiers retreat.


    In the afternoon, west gate was broken.


    Taishici led the troops to withdraw from the east gate and quickly withdrew.


    Liu Pansheng was ordered to pursue.


    The army passed through the county and rushed to Yuzhang county. After chasing for an hour, it was getting late. Huang Zhong suggested Liu Pan stop advancing and return to the city.


    Liu Pan''s original idea was to continue to attack. After some consideration, he adopted Huang Zhong''s suggestion and withdrew his troops. The army withdrew, but less than half an hour later, the army of taishici came back.


    The two sides fought each other again. When Liu Pan''s army began to fight back on a large scale, Tai Shici led his troops to retreat again.


    Liu Pan did not pursue, rest in place, stare for half an hour, found that the other side did not kill back, again withdrew to return to the county. But less than half an hour later, Tai Shici led the army to kill him.Two times in a row, Liu Pan''s patience was polished, and his anger rose.


    At this time, it was late at night. By the middle of the night, at the end of September, the weather was a little chilly. It''s cool to fight in this weather.


    Liu Panyi did not do two endlessly, led the army along the official road of taishici retreat, continue to pursue.


    Huang Zhong was worried. He advised Liu Pan not to pursue the poor invaders. He would rather stop and recuperate than pursue them. However, Liu Pan had been dazzled by Tai Shici''s provocation and pursued in the dark.


    Chase and flee, keep on.


    Fortunately, there was no ambush at night.


    After daybreak, the army stopped to cook.


    On Huang Zhong''s tired face, he felt a little relaxed. After a busy night and a nervous night, although he didn''t catch Tai Shici, at least he was not ambushed. This is the best result.


    After breakfast, Huang Zhong came to Liu Pan and said, "general, I''ve been chasing him all night. Now I''m going to enter Yuzhang county. At the end of the day, the general believed that he would withdraw to Ancheng county first, stabilize the situation in the county, and then consider fighting back against taishici. "


    Liu Pan''s eyes were full of blood, but his anger still did not subside. Last night, he was repeatedly provoked by taishici. He was completely angry.


    If you don''t take down Tai Shici, you will never stop.


    Huang Zhong is a veteran in the army. His suggestions can''t be ignored all the time.


    Liu Pan''s eyes turned, his mind turned, and he said with a smile, "general Hansheng, I''m going to chase him again. I''ve come to the border of Ancheng County, but I haven''t caught up with Tai Shici. I''ll withdraw immediately."


    "Good!"


    Huang Zhong knew that he could not persuade him, so he had to agree.


    After breakfast, Liu Pan led the army to pursue again. Less than an hour later, Liu Pan found the trace of the army under the command of taishici. Liu Pan was overjoyed and ordered to advance at full speed.


    Ten miles from the border, there is a river. The army stopped at the South Bank of the river because it was close to winter and the river was dry. If you look around, you can see the sand and stone in the river.


    Huang Zhong saw the river and felt bad in his heart. He suggested Liu Pan to stop moving forward and worry about cheating.


    Liu Pan saw that taishici avoided fighting. He despised taishici in his heart. He didn''t put taishici in his eyes for a long time. He waved his hand and said, "it''s impossible to cheat. If you rush across the river, you can definitely catch up with taishici."


    Thirty thousand troops, flood into the river.


    Thirty thousand people scattered, scattered in the river, began to cross the river.


    "Boom!"


    There was a loud noise from above the river.


    In a flash, Huang Zhong''s face changed. He didn''t even want to think about it. He picked up Liu Pan and quickly returned to the shore. As soon as Huang Zhonggang retreated to the shore, the flood upstream had already surged.


    Under the impact of the turbulent current, the soldiers in the river were washed away as if they were floating.


    Liu Pan''s army suffered countless casualties.


    Seeing this scene, Liu Pan gulped down his saliva. His look in his eyes was no longer the same as before. He murmured, "it''s over, this time is over. General Hansheng, I didn''t take your advice. It''s over. "


    Huang Zhong looked wary. Looking at the soldiers who had not crossed the river, he said: "general, since Tai Shici has laid an ambush here, he must have a back hand. Withdraw, we withdraw at once


    "Boom!"


    Suddenly, on the road behind Huang Zhong and Liu Pan, there was a rush of horses and a cry to kill.


    Huang Zhong looked back, his face more dignified.


    At this moment, Huang Zhong already understood. The fleeing Jiangdong army in front of them was led by the general under taishici. The elite under taishici had been lying in ambush here for a long time, waiting for them to retreat.


    In a short time, taishici led the army out.


    With a big gun in his hand, taishici pointed to Liu Pan and cried out, "Liu Pan, I''ve been waiting here for a long time. Today, Ben will personally take you on the road. "


    Liu Pan''s thoughts were in chaos. He was worried when he heard taishici''s words, so he ordered to break through.

 Chapter 154

    Pang Tong was in charge of the front-line information. As Chihou kept sending back news, Pang Tong''s intelligence became more and more detailed.


    When the news of Liu Pan''s defeat came back, Pang Tong immediately went to the county government to see Liu Xiu.


    After sitting down, Pang Tong said: "Lord, Liu Pan is defeated."


    Liu xiudao: "how about the details?"


    Liu Xiu was not surprised by this result. When Liu Xiu went to the barracks to see Liu Pan, he personally asked Liu Pan and made suggestions to Liu Pan, hoping that Liu Pan would postpone sending troops and find out the situation of Tai Shici.


    However, it is expected that Liu panmang will be trapped by Tai Shici.


    Pang Tong said: "according to the news from the front line, after Liu Pan led his troops to Ancheng County, he took a rest in Ancheng County for one night." this is a river and the place where Liu Pan was defeated. "


    When Pang Tong said this, he sighed: "Liu Pan despised the enemy''s impetuous advance. Without knowing the situation of the river, he hastily ordered to cross it. When a large number of soldiers crossed the river, taishici sent people to dig up the river embankment in the upper reaches and submerged countless Jingzhou soldiers. "


    "Liu Pan was defeated. Taishici appeared behind Liu Pan and killed him."


    "After the battle between the two armies, Liu Pan was defeated like a mountain, and 30000 troops were completely defeated."


    Pang Tong said: "according to the latest news, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong led the soldiers out of the siege and fled to Jiuxu mountain in the northeast of Ancheng county. At present, taishici has surrounded Jiuxu mountain. After the failure of the strong attack, he adopted the strategy of encircling but not attacking. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and understood.


    The whole stratagem of Tess clearly appeared in his mind.


    Generally speaking, it was a strategy of arrogance. Taking advantage of Liu Pan''s weakness of belittling the enemy and advancing rashly, Tai Shici constantly showed the enemy his weakness, constantly provoked Liu Pan, and finally laid an ambush to defeat Liu Pan.


    Unfortunately, Liu Pan didn''t notice Tai Shici''s plan.


    Liu Xiu took a deep breath and said, "Liu Pan was defeated and trapped. You county must send troops. There is no doubt about this." After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "come here, please come to the study for discussion."


    When the order was given, the soldiers went to convey the order. It wasn''t long before Kuai Qi came to the study.


    After Liu Pan''s defeat, the situation in Changsha became tense. But for you County, this is an opportunity. Pang Tong, who will take the initiative to attack you County, said: "comparatively speaking, we are slightly in a weak position."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said: "although weak, it is not without the power of the first World War."


    Pang Tong said: "the rescue is certain, but we need to consider how to rescue. Otherwise, when we get to Jiuxu mountain, we can''t rescue Liu Pan and Huang Zhong. Instead, we will be in trouble."


    Liu xiudao: "does Shi Yuan have a plan?"


    On his way here, Pang Tong was already thinking about the rescue strategy, saying: "Lord, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong are trapped. I think so. The army went to Jiuxu mountain, and then This strategy needs the cooperation of Huang Zhong and Liu Pan to see if they can see through it, otherwise it will be very difficult. After all, they are trapped. "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu said: "Shiyuan, according to your plan, as long as it is implemented smoothly, it is not a big problem to rescue Liu Pan. But you haven''t thought about a problem


    "What''s the problem?" Pang Tong asked.


    Liu Xiu put forward his own idea. Pang Tong was surprised when he heard it. After a long silence, Pang Tong said, "my Lord, your worry is possible, even possible."


    Kuai Qi was also worried. He was also worried after listening to Liu Xiu.


    Pang Tong said: "it''s much easier now that we''ve considered it. As long as we take into account all kinds of situations, and then prepare strategies to deal with them, it will be very easy. "


    Liu xiudao: "in view of this situation, I plan to lead 1200 soldiers to you County, and the remaining 800 soldiers will stay in you county. At the same time, Deng Zhan, Yueshan and Qiu Bao also stayed in you county. "


    Pang Tong shook his head and said, "Lord, this is not good. You only have 1200 soldiers under your command, and you don''t have a general in charge. Once you are attacked by Tsz, you will suffer a great loss. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "who said I don''t have a general? Am I not a general? After rescuing Huang Zhong, isn''t Huang Zhong a general? I believe this war will develop according to our forecast. "


    Pang Tong was not persuading him. He said, "since the Lord has decided, I hope he will go to Jiuxu mountain and succeed."


    Liu Xiu nodded, looked at Kuai Qi and said, "Kuai Xian Cheng, You Xian''s government affairs are up to you."


    Kuai Qi arched his hand and said, "don''t worry, my Lord."


    Liu Xiu got up and left the county government, went to the barracks to mobilize soldiers, and then led 1200 soldiers to leave the county and run to Ancheng county. Passing through Chaling County, Liu Xiu met Su Rong and Ma Liang and discussed this battle. After a little rest, he led the soldiers on their way.


    ¡­¡­


    Jiuxu mountain, east of the mountain.


    Jiangdongbing barracks, Zhongjun big account.


    Tai shici''an was sitting in the tent, looking at the news sent back by Chihou. When Tai Shici marched and fought, he attached great importance to intelligence, so every time he went to war, he would send a large number of scouts in advance to inquire about information."Hoo


    The tent curtain rolled up and sun Ren came in in a hurry.


    Sun Ren saluted taishici and said excitedly, "general taishici, the censor has come back. After I asked Chihou, his news was about Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu has left you county with his army. At present, you county is empty. "


    Tai Shici frowned and said, "Mr. Ren, reporting information is something that the Marquis does, not what you do."


    Sun Renshan laughed and waved: "it''s all small things. Don''t care."


    Taishici said: "there are no small things in the army!"


    Sun Ren sighed: "yes, I know. I''ll never make it again next time. I''ll never force you to ask for information."


    After a pause, sun Ren said, "now that you know Liu Xiu''s situation, you can deal with Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu has accumulated hundreds of thousands of stone grain and countless money in you county. Once we win you County, Jiangdong''s dilemma of food and money will be greatly alleviated. Please give the order of the general, and we will lead our troops to attack you county. "


    Tai Shici shook his head and said, "you can''t do it. It''s too impulsive."


    Sun Ren suddenly widened his eyes, a pair of clear and bright eyes, full of innocent eyes, said: "general Taishi, where am I impulsive? I''m thinking about Jiangdong. "


    Tai Shici added: "still can''t, you never listen to the order, arrange you to go, I''m afraid that on the way, you will immediately change my plan."


    Sun Ren promised: "general, I will obey orders."


    "Really?" Asked Tess.


    Sun Ren said: "we must obey the orders of the general and never violate them."


    Tai Shici nodded and said, "in that case, you led 800 soldiers to you County, pretending to be a defeated Jingzhou army. Remember, you''re just a member of Liu Pan''s school. You came back to you county to ask for help. "


    Sun Ren''s eyes twinkled and said, "don''t worry, general. You will finish the task."

 Chapter 155

    Jiuxu mountain, the top of the mountain.


    Huang Zhong, Liu Pan and his soldiers all took refuge in the mountains.


    Liu Pan''s face was haggard. In a short period of time, everyone was thin. The soldiers under his command were also gaunt. Liu Pan looked at Huang Zhong and saw that Huang Zhong was still calm, and he was even more ashamed.


    If he had not been headstrong, the 30000 troops would not have been defeated. So far, there are only less than 1000 soldiers around him, and they are all exhausted.


    Now, he has been driven to the end.


    Liu Pan asked, "general Hansheng, how long will food last?"


    Huang Zhong replied, "the soldiers only carry enough dry food for two days. In two days, there will be no food for the soldiers. "


    After a pause, Huang Zhong said: "at present, the most important thing is that there are no long-range shooting weapons such as bows and arrows. Now, I can only order the soldiers to cut down the trees and prepare the wood to resist the soldiers of tisci


    Liu Pan nodded and said, "these two days, Tai Shici didn''t attack Jiuxu mountain. In my opinion, he clearly intended to consume our food. He knows we can''t hold on for a long time, so we don''t attack at all now


    At this time, Liu Pan was in a low mood.


    Huang Zhong comforted: "don''t worry, general. The news of our defeat must be sent back to you county. I believe that young master Xiu will lead the army to the rescue. So, it''s good for us to procrastinate


    Liu Pan shook his head and said, "there are only 2000 soldiers under Liu Xiu''s command. He is too busy to save himself. He has no energy to save us."


    In Liu Pan''s eyes, Liu Xiu''s two thousand troops are just like a drop in the bucket, which is of little use.


    Huang Zhong sighed when he heard the speech. In fact, in Huang Zhong''s view, it was also very difficult for Liu Xiu''s 2000 troops to block taishici''s tens of thousands of troops.


    "General pan, to the west of Jiuxu mountain, an army is coming."


    Suddenly, a soldier comes to Liu Pan and Huang Zhong.


    When Liu Pan and Huang Zhong heard the speech, their eyes were filled with joy. They stood up and ran to the west of Jiuxu mountain, looking down.


    Looking down from the top of the mountain, you can only see the shadow at the foot of the mountain, but you can''t see the situation clearly.


    In Liu Pan''s heart, he prayed that Liu Xiu had come.


    Huang Zhong''s eyesight was excellent, but he was too far away to see clearly. He could only see the figure vaguely, and could not tell whether Liu Xiu''s army was on the ground.


    "Brother, I''ve come to save you."


    Suddenly, there was a loud sound at the foot of the mountain.


    The neat cry, like the sound of gold and iron, broke through the sky. This is Liu XIUTE''s underground order, ordering the soldiers to shout and drum up Liu Pan on the mountain.


    After hearing this, Liu Pan had a smile on his face, looked at Huang Zhong and said excitedly, "general Hansheng, the third younger brother is here. It''s really the third younger brother. We can be saved."


    At the moment, Liu Pan completely forgot what he had just said and his judgment that Liu Xiu could not rescue them.


    Huang Zhong''s eyes also showed a trace of joy.


    No matter how Liu Xiu rescues, at least Liu Xiu leads his soldiers. This is the best result.


    At least, there''s a chance.


    Huang Zhong said: "general, now we have to make the news public so that the soldiers are ready to break through. Since young master Xiu is here, he must break through. We must be ready all the time. "


    Liu Pan quickly nodded and said, "it''s reasonable, it''s reasonable."


    Immediately, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong together, quickly back to the soldiers to arrange, ready to break things.


    Jiuxu mountain, east of the mountain.


    In Jiangdong barracks, when Liu Xiu''s soldiers yelled, the voice came into the barracks. When he got the news, there was a light in his eyes.


    After waiting for a long time, Liu Xiu finally came.


    "Newspaper!"


    A Chihou rushed in and reported: "general, Liu Xiu led more than 1000 soldiers to the west of Jiuxu mountain. Now, we have camped in the west of Jiuxu mountain. "


    Tai Shici nodded and waved the censor back.


    He tapped the desk with his right hand and murmured, "more than 1000 soldiers, Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, don''t you know you are brave? There''s a plan. More than 1000 soldiers dare to come to Jiuxu mountain for rescue. They are beyond their capacity. "


    In this battle, more than ten thousand elites were under the command of taishici.


    The ratio of troops on both sides was ten to one. There was such a big gap that taishici despised Liu Xiu.


    Tai Shici ordered: "come on!"


    A soldier enters the camp and bows.


    Taishici said: "beat the drum, gather the generals."


    Soldiers out of the camp, not long, the camp, the sound of a powerful battle drum. When the generals heard the voice, they came to the Chinese army tent one after another and took their seats.


    Taishici said: "Liu Xiu led more than 1000 soldiers to camp in the west of Jiuxu mountain. Now, Liu Xiu has entered the urn. Who dares to lead the army to fight?"


    Besieging Liu Pan, Tai Shici did have two plans.


    The first is to consume Liu Pan''s morale and let Liu Pan''s soldiers break through without breaking through; the second is to surround the site for help, wait for Liu Xiu to come to rescue, and then attack Liu Xiu."General, the last general is willing to go."


    Below, Pan Jun stands out and salutes.


    Pan Jun, 26, served as a school captain under Tai Shici. He joined the army at the age of 18 and has been a military general for eight years.


    As soon as Pan Jun opened his mouth, the rest of the generals asked to fight one after another.


    Tai Shici''s eyes swept over the generals under his command. Finally, his eyes fell on Pan Jun, and he said, "Pan Jun, you are the vanguard, leading 3000 troops to defeat Liu Xiu."


    "No!"


    Pan Jun was overjoyed and turned to leave the camp to mobilize the soldiers.


    The general of the camp sighed. In their opinion, there were only a thousand soldiers under Liu Xiu''s command. With such a small number of troops and 3000 soldiers going, we are sure to win.


    No matter who goes, they can win. Unfortunately, Pan Jun is cheap.


    Taishici looked at the generals and said, "from now on, we must strictly prevent Liu Pan from breaking through the mountains. All the checkpoints from the mountain down must be cut off to avoid the confluence of Liu Pan and Liu Xiu. "


    "Don''t worry, general. The east gate has already been blocked."


    "General, the west gate is absolutely all right. Even if Liu Xiu attacked, he could defend. "


    "South gate, everything is under control."


    "The checkpoints in the north are arranged according to the mountain situation. No matter they attack from the foot of the mountain or rush down from the mountain, they can effectively defend. Please rest assured that the general will never let Liu Xiu and Liu Pan meet. "


    The people in charge of all levels are very confident.


    In order to prevent Liu Pan''s troops from breaking through the encirclement, all the troops had blocked all the way down the mountain.


    Tisci nodded and waved the soldier back.


    Jiuxu mountain, West.


    The 1200 soldiers under Liu Xiu''s command had already set up camp with the help of the terrain at the foot of the mountain. All fortifications have been put in place. All this was arranged in a very short time.


    In the barracks, Liu Xiu was in charge himself.


    All the generals of the army gathered in the barracks.


    "Newspaper!"


    The sentry came in in in a hurry and said, "my Lord, the Jiangdong army is coming to our camp. According to the information from the survey, there are about 3000 soldiers coming here. "


    Liu Xiu waved the sentry to retreat, looked at the general under his command and said, "ladies and gentlemen, this is the first battle when we arrived at Jiuxu mountain. In this war, only victory is allowed, not defeat. "


    When the generals heard the speech, they were serious and full of fighting spirit.


    Everything in the army has been arranged. They know the situation and naturally have no fear.


    "Let''s go and meet the enemy with me."


    Liu Xiu stood up, took his generals out of the camp and went to the gate of the camp. Standing at the gate of the camp, less than a cup of tea, the shouting came from the east of Jiuxu mountain.


    There was smoke and dust in the army.


    Pan Jun took the lead, wearing armor, and soon came to the front of the army. With a wave of his hand, a soldier rushed out quickly and called out: "Liu Xiu, listen, the captain orders you to surrender immediately, otherwise you will be killed."


    The soldier''s voice is arrogant, but also holding his head high, did not put Liu Xiu in the eye.


    Liu Xiu sneered twice and waved to the camp.


    "Whew!"


    The piercing sound of breaking the air immediately rang out.


    A dazzling and gorgeous streamer suddenly flashed away in the air. In a flash, he appeared in front of the Jiangdong soldiers.


    "Poof


    The point of the arrow pierced the soldier''s brow.


    Jiangdong soldiers screamed and fell to the ground.


    This move shows Liu Xiu''s attitude.


    Pan Jun was very angry. He pointed to the front with his sword and said, "toast, don''t drink, kill!" Under the command, Jiangdong soldiers rushed to the camp like a tide and began to attack the camp.

 Chapter 156

    "Today is the day to make contributions. Kill Liu Xiu."


    "Catch Liu Xiu alive and kill him."


    "Enter the enemy camp and capture Liu Xiu alive."


    The Jiangdong soldiers roared and roared, aggressively approaching the camp.


    Pan Jun is about 100 feet away from the camp. After he ordered the attack, a thousand soldiers of the first battalion came out and approached the camp like a tide.


    In a moment, a thousand soldiers were less than 100 steps away from the camp.


    In Pan Jun''s eyes, he has strong self-confidence and full confidence to win. More than 1000 soldiers under Liu Xiu''s command have just been recruited. The soldiers under Liu Xiu''s command have experienced the battlefield for a long time. They are energetic in World War I and have strong combat effectiveness.


    The strength of both sides is not at the same level at all.


    Because of this, Pan Jun''s heart is full of expectations.


    Standing in the camp, Liu Xiu saw a lot of Jiangdong soldiers coming. His eyes were calm, and he didn''t have the slightest look of panic.


    When Jiang Dongbing approached the camp, Liu Xiu had a smile in his eyes.


    Jiang Dongbing, take the bait.


    "Ah


    Jiang Dongbing, who rushed to the front, suddenly screamed and fell.


    Immediately, a batch of Jiangdong soldiers fell to the ground one after another and screamed.


    A hundred paces away from the camp, trenches one foot deep and one foot wide had already been dug. On the top of the trench, bamboo strips were covered, and then mud was spread to cover the sight. Once Jiangdong soldiers stepped on it, the bamboo strip could not bear the strength, and the soldiers would fall into the ditch.


    In the trench, Tribulus terrestris was arranged.


    As soon as Jiang Dongbing stepped on the foot, he immediately stepped on the Tribulus terrestris, and the foot board was punctured directly. Batch after batch of Jiangdong soldiers fell down and their feet were stabbed. It was difficult to attack further.


    At this time, the rear of the Jiangdong soldiers as if the tide forward, still in the constant rush up.


    On the road ahead, there were many trenches. The soldiers could only advance, but could not retreat. As a result, more and more soldiers fell down.


    This scene, in Pan Jun''s eyes, made Pan Jun furious.


    He directly ordered: "beat the drum, cheer for the soldiers. It''s only a hundred paces away. If you work harder, you just need to go in and defeat Liu Xiu. "


    "Dong! Dong


    The battle drums resound inside and outside the camp.


    The powerful sound of war drums aroused the fighting spirit of Jiangdong soldiers. One by one, the soldiers of Jiangdong were fearless of death and kept approaching the camp at the risk of ditches and Tribulus Terrestris on the ground.


    At a distance of 100 steps, the trench took up nearly 20 steps.


    Nearly two or three hundred soldiers were killed and wounded, and Jiangdong soldiers finally crossed the trench. Their faces finally showed a cruel smile. Next, they are about to break through the defense line and enter Liu Xiu''s camp.


    Just five more steps forward, Jiang Dongbing''s faces turned black when he saw the situation ahead.


    Tribulus terrestris!


    The road ahead is still full of Tribulus terrestris!


    The dense Tribulus terrestris makes people feel numb and even more daunting to the soldiers of Jiangdong.


    The most forward Jiangdong soldiers just stopped, but the previous problems appeared, and the soldiers in the rear kept rushing forward. The battlefield was crowded with people, and the soldiers in the rear were running. The soldiers in the front were crowded forward and stepped on the Tribulus terrestris.


    "Ah! Pain, who is squeezing me, no squeezing. "


    "Back up, back up, there are iron tribulus in front, you can''t rush forward."


    "Don''t squeeze, don''t push me."


    The soldiers at the front roared, but they were still pushed forward and stepped on the Tribulus terrestris.


    Bursts of screams immediately resounded from home and abroad.


    Waves of soldiers trampled on the Tribulus terrestris, and countless people were injured. After a while, Jiang Dongbing learned to be a good soldier, and his feet began to slide forward close to the ground, blocking the Tribulus terrestris.


    What is affected is that the speed of the charge slows down, just like a snail crawling, which is very slow.


    Liu Xiu''s mouth was full of smile and waved: "Archer, ready."


    Because of the Tribulus terrestris, a large number of Jiangdong soldiers were blocked in 80 steps, and they moved forward slowly. This distance and speed, just give the bow and arrow mobile phone will.


    It''s enough to achieve the effect only by shooting at random with bow and arrow.


    Row by row of archers, quick array. Three hundred archers bend their bows and take arrows quickly in the barracks.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "shoot the arrow!"


    Bowstring vibration, a sharp bow, out of the string.


    "Whew! Whew


    Bows and arrows in the air, hanging sharp sound of breaking the air, like rain hit banana general, fell into the Jiangdong soldiers. Every bow and arrow is fired indiscriminately, without any precision. However, the distance of 80 steps is not far or near. As long as the soldiers have enough strength, they can shoot Jiangdong soldiers, because Jiangdong soldiers are concentrated outside the camp, just within the range.


    "Pooh! Poof


    A bow and arrow were shot into the body of Jiang Dongbing.


    Scream, even into a piece, but also in the camp over the reverberation circle.Dense bows and arrows, like a rain of arrows. This wave of arrow rain formed a net of arrows, which made the offensive of Jiangdong soldiers stop.


    Arrow rain attacks in the air, and Tribulus terrestris blocks the ground.


    For a time, it was difficult for the soldiers of Jiangdong to make a step forward.


    The casualties are even more serious.


    Every moment, Jiang Dongbing fell to the ground and died under the bow and arrow.


    Pan Jun''s angry eyes were wide open, and his heart was also anxious. Looking at this situation, Liu Xiu had already predicted that Jiangdong soldiers would attack the camp, so he dug a pit and prepared iron tribulus, bows and arrows for his attack.


    Everything was in Liu Xiu''s expectation.


    At this time, Pan Jun was in a dilemma.


    It''s hard to break the camp.


    Back, lost face.


    Pan Jun, who has been in the army for many years and is also an experienced veteran, did not try to be brave. After thinking for a moment, he ordered: "Mingjin, withdraw temporarily." Since he was unable to break through the other side''s defense line, he had to withdraw his troops and consider the way to break through the other side''s camp.


    "Dang! Dang! Dang


    The sound of gongs reverberates at the foot of the mountain.


    When Jiang Dongbing heard this, he retreated like a tide.


    Soon all the soldiers were withdrawn. Just outside the camp, a body has fallen. Many of the soldiers lying on the ground were unable to move and could not retreat.


    In a short period of time, more than half of the 1000 soldiers sent by Pan Jun were killed and injured, and the losses were heavy.


    Liu Xiu looked at the retreating Jiangdong soldiers and said, "come on, take my bow and arrow."


    Immediately, the soldier brought an iron bow.


    At the same time, he handed over the iron arrow.


    Liu Xiu is skillful in archery. He uses an iron fetal bow, and the bow and arrow are also specially made iron arrows. He stood at the gate of the camp with a sullen face. He stood on his side. His iron arrow was on the bow string and aimed at Pan Jun''s direction.


    "Hum!"


    The bowstring vibrates and the iron arrow comes out.


    "Whew!"


    Piercing sound of breaking the air, resounding in the sky, a streamer flash in the air.


    "Pa!"


    The arrow fell down and stuck on the ground, less than a foot away from Pan Jun. Seeing this, the soldier hurriedly said, "Xiaowei, there is a piece of white paper tied to the shaft of the iron arrow."


    Pan Jun waved and said, "take it."


    The soldier rushed up to take out the white paper and handed it to pan Jun.


    Pan Jun opened it and saw that he was short of breath. His face became even more livid. He was angry in his eyes. He cried out angrily: "it''s too deceiving."


    The content on the paper is very simple, only five words.


    "Those who violate Jingzhou will be punished!"


    Five words, show Liu Xiu''s attitude.


    For Pan Jun, it''s a nudity. Pan Jun can''t hold down this tone. He wants to see how he leads the army to attack Liu Xiu and how Liu Xiu will kill him.


    The final victory of this war must belong to Jiangdong.


    Pan Jun squints and stares at the camp in front of him. He thinks about it carefully. After half a sound, Pan Jun orders: "prepare the shield and march forward in formation. Liu Xiu had bows and arrows, and his soldiers also had shields. As long as the array, the bow and arrow will lose its effect


    It was not long before Pan Jun sent 800 soldiers under his command.


    Eight hundred soldiers marched in their own ranks and raised their shields.


    The soldiers in the front row erect their shields on the ground to form a shield wall. The soldier in the middle holds the shield flat in the sky to resist the falling bow and arrow. In this way, the bow and arrow in front and above can resist. The shield soldiers advanced, and soon crossed the trench and approached the spot where the Tribulus terrestris had fallen.


    Liu Xiu sneered twice. If Pan Jun thought that relying on the shield, he wanted to break the defense of the barracks, he would be naive. Liu Xiu waved and said, "Yuan Ye, prepare for the catapult."


    "No!"


    Yuan Ye clasped his fist and said, "catapults, prepare."


    A catapult loaded the rocks, and soon they were all in place. He turned to look at Liu Xiu and reported, "my Lord, everything is ready. You can attack at any time."

 Chapter 157

    Liu Xiu ordered: "attack!"


    "Launch!"


    In Yuan Ye''s eyes, fighting spirit was high and he waved his hand.


    "Boom!"


    Fifteen catapults were running and launched almost at the same time. Fifteen big stones weighing nearly 40 Jin were thrown by the catapult, and they all flew out, whistling through the air, and then fell on Jiang Dongbing''s head.


    "Boom!"


    The first big stone fell and hit the shield of Jiang Dongbing.


    "Chaka!"


    Under the impact of powerful forces, the shield cracked.


    The big stone continued to fall, pressing on the soldiers. With a shrill scream, the most central jiangdongbing was smashed by the big stone, and there was no breath at that time. Other soldiers with shields were also knocked out and suffered heavy losses one after another.


    The shield formation of Jiangdong soldiers was directly disrupted.


    None of the 15 big stones failed, and they all hit the shield soldiers.


    As the offensive continued, the soldiers of Jiangdong were nearly 100 dead and injured, and 800 shield soldiers were in chaos.


    At this time, the arrow broke into the air again. After Jiang Dong''s troops were in chaos, before they could react, bows and arrows fell one after another.


    "Pooh! Poof


    A bow and arrow pierced the body of Jiang Dongbing.


    After a round of arrow rain, the shield soldiers were completely defeated. No one continued to advance, and they retreated in confusion.


    The leading young general came to Pan Jun''s side, looking embarrassed, and said: "Xiaowei, the soldiers under Liu Xiu''s command cooperate with each other tacitly. After using stones to break up our formation, the bows and arrows immediately shoot out. We can''t get close to each other''s camp."


    Pan Jun''s eyes were gloomy and angry.


    It''s a shame that three thousand troops are blocked outside the camp and can''t move forward.


    "The camp must be broken and Liu Xiu must be taken down."


    Pan Jun, with a cold face, yelled.


    The young general dropped his head and didn''t dare to face Pan Jun''s eyes.


    Pan Jun stares at Liu Xiu''s camp with sharp eyes. This battle is an opportunity he won with great difficulty. We can''t waste it like this. Pan Jun''s mind turns and thinks quickly.


    All of a sudden, he thought that the attack of the catapult was not too intensive. Obviously, the other side''s catapults are limited. Otherwise, in the first round, more than ten catapults will attack. Because the number of shield troops just sent was not large, and a round of stone attacks, the shield soldiers were all scattered, only to give Liu Xiuke awesome opportunity.


    As long as there are enough shield soldiers, the catapult can''t stop all the soldiers'' attacks. Once the soldiers get close to the camp, the catapult will lose its effect, and so will the bow and arrow.


    In Pan Jun''s heart, he had another idea.


    "Heralds, shields and other soldiers, all attack. The shield soldiers went ahead and stopped the bow and arrow fire. The rest of the soldiers followed and approached the camp


    Pan Jun''s idea is very simple, using shields to protect soldiers approaching the camp. As long as the bow and arrow are avoided, the stones are in the minority. If some soldiers are killed or injured, and the other soldiers approach, they will be able to approach the camp.


    Jiang Dongbing was ordered to reorganize his formation and launch another attack.


    "Dong! Dong


    The war drums are beating and inspiring.


    Jiang Dongbing, like a tide, once again charged and approached the camp.


    Liu Xiu was still calm when he saw the fast approaching Jiang Dongbing. He waved and ordered the archers and catapults to move quickly.


    In the air, arrows are raining and stones are flying.


    There are countless Jiangdong soldiers approaching the camp who died under bows and arrows, or under stones. However, with the help of shield, the soldiers who rushed in front finally approached the camp. At this time, the distance from the camp is less than 30 steps away. The catapult and the bow and arrow have lost their effect.


    One by one, the soldiers from the east of the river started to rush. It''s time for them to make contributions to the camp. It''s a chance they can''t get.


    At this time, no soldier can suppress the excitement in his heart.


    The distance quickly narrowed, Liu xiudao: "ready!"


    At the command, another pair of soldiers lined up. This group of soldiers, holding a two foot long shotgun in their hands, stood still, leaned back and suddenly threw the shotgun out of their hands.


    Wave after wave of short guns are thrown out, fast and powerful.


    Dongjiang shot hundreds of short soldiers in the body.


    Jiang Dongbing, who rushed to the front, were shot one after another and fell to the ground. However, even if there are soldiers throwing short gun ambush, Jiangdong soldiers are still rushing forward.


    Gradually, there are more and more Jiangdong soldiers approaching the camp.


    When Pan Jun saw this scene, he was relieved at last.


    It''s finally here!


    When the two armies met, he believed that his soldiers would win.


    "Click! Click! Click


    Suddenly, a team of shield soldiers burst out of the camp. Pan Jun''s eyes narrowed when he saw this group of shield soldiers, and his heart thumped. He didn''t know what tricks Liu Xiu was going to play?In the short time of fighting with Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu''s means emerged one after another, which made Pan Jun headache.


    After a while, the shield soldiers and the Jiangdong soldiers fought.


    The shield soldiers hold the shield and stand on the ground to form a shield wall. Behind the shield soldiers, soldiers holding long guns poked out long guns through the shield.


    The point of the gun breathes and penetrates into the body of Jiangdong soldier.


    In a flash, it was withdrawn immediately.


    A flood of blood spray, rushed to the camp gate of Jiangdong soldiers directly fell to the ground, dead and injured. When the Jiangdong soldiers fell, the shield soldiers immediately pushed forward, and the long spearmen who followed immediately came forward. The shield soldiers and the long spearmen cooperated with each other. They were like big rocks rolling down the mountain. They kept rolling forward and no one could stop them.


    Jiang Dongbing, who is approaching the camp, is still unable to enter the camp due to his heavy casualties.


    There are stones, bows and arrows to resist outside, shield soldiers and spearmen to resist inside, and Jiangdong soldiers can''t move forward.


    Approaching the camp in vain.


    Liu Xiu''s soldiers blocked the attack, but did not fight back, chose to defend the position. Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed as he looked at Jiang Dongbing. Now, Liu Xiu doesn''t plan to fight Jiang Dongbing head-on.


    If the troops are not enough, we should stick to them first, and then consider the matter of counterattack after we have rescued Liu Pan and Huang Zhong.


    Liu Xiu is easy to advance and retreat, but Pan Jun is in a dilemma.


    Pan Jun made a rough estimate. From the beginning to now, his soldiers, including those killed and injured in the war, have reached thousands. However, the soldiers under Liu Xiu''s command were undamaged. They just wasted bows, arrows and stones. They lost nothing.


    Most importantly, the morale of his 2000 soldiers is extremely low.


    "What to do? Do you really want to retreat? "


    Pan Jun thought about it and couldn''t find a solution.


    "Just pull out!"


    Pan Jun couldn''t get close to the camp of Jingzhou army, so he ordered to withdraw.


    The sound of the Gong, sounded quickly.


    Jiangdong soldiers, who were attacking, retreated like a tide again, and soon all withdrew from the battlefield. Pan Jun ordered to count the soldiers. Soon, Xiao Xiao Xiao reported: "Xiao Wei, there are only 1868 soldiers left in the army. The rest of the soldiers fell on the battlefield. "


    Looking around, outside the barracks, there are bodies lying in a dense place.


    Among them, many Jiangdong soldiers groaned and wailed.


    Pan Jun can''t help seeing this scene. He knows that no matter these soldiers, Liu Xiu will send someone to kill all the injured Jiangdong soldiers or capture all the soldiers. But now, Pan Jun can''t rescue the wounded soldiers. Once he gets close, he will be killed by the other side''s bow and arrow.


    "Withdraw, return to camp immediately."


    Pan Jun ordered him to turn around and withdraw with his soldiers.


    Even if he is ridiculed or punished, Pan Jun is helpless. After all, he can''t win Liu Xiu.


    Jiang Dongbing outside the camp saw this scene, and they were all in despair. They are left behind, which means that their lives are handed over to Liu Xiu. Standing in the camp, Liu Xiu waved and said, "clean up the battlefield. All Jiangdong soldiers will be killed."


    The Army soldiers rushed out of the camp and acted immediately.


    Back in the barracks, Liu Xiu began to arrange the rescue of Liu Pan. To rescue Liu Pan and Huang Zhong this time, we must have a detailed plan. At night, the soldiers began to carry out the order according to Liu Xiu''s arrangement.

 Chapter 158

    Jiuxu mountain, East.


    Barracks, big accounts of the Chinese army.


    Pan Jun stooped to stand in the tent, with a guilty look on his face, and said: "general, the last general is incompetent. He did not capture Liu Xiu''s camp, but damaged more than 1000 soldiers. Please punish him."


    After taishici heard this, there was a little more dignified between his eyebrows.


    Pan Jun''s ability is known. He dares to fight and kill. He is also resourceful. He is a strong general in the battlefield.


    The soldiers led by Pan Jun were also elite.


    However, Pan Jun led the army to go, but the casualties were heavy. It can be seen that Liu Xiu''s troops were not weak.


    It''s just that the rest of the generals in the tent look at Pan Jun''s eyes with a little more irony. In this battle, Pan Jun was supposed to be the first to win the first prize. Unexpectedly, Pan Jun was finally disheartened.


    Tai Shici was surprised and asked, "how about the other party''s loss?"


    Pan Jun''s face was ugly, and he said: "report back to the general, Liu Xiu''s loss is almost zero. At that time, Mo Jiang didn''t even kill the other party''s camp. "


    "Hiss!"


    There was a sound of cold breath, one after another.


    The general''s eyes to Pan Jun changed again.


    If there was schadenfreude in Pan Jun''s eyes just now, it has become dignified. The generals in the army know each other''s roots, and other generals know Pan Jun''s ability.


    Liu Xiu''s ability to make Pan Jun stop outside the camp is enough to show Liu Xiu''s ability.


    This is exactly what the generals are worried about.


    Tai Shici''s face also showed a rare heavy look, and said: "detailed process, explain it carefully."


    Dissatisfied with the concealment, Pan Jun said the matter again.


    After hearing this, everyone was silent. From Pan Jun''s words, they also know that Liu Xiu''s troops are not many, but Liu Xiu''s defense is not leaky, one by one, step by step, without any flaw.


    Taishici said: "Liu Xiu defends well, but his troops are insufficient after all. More than 1000 troops, under the attack of more than 10000 elite generals, can not support. Even if Liu Xiu''s array is ingenious, he will be defeated in the face of absolute power. "


    After a pause, Tai Shici said, "Pan Jun, you are defeated this time. Please write it down for the moment. Tomorrow, go to battle and make up for your mistakes. The order goes on. The whole army will rest tonight and attack Liu Xiu tomorrow. "


    "No!"


    The generals were ordered to step down immediately.


    Taishici was sitting alone in the tent, with Pan Jun''s words hovering in his head. From the analysis of Pan Jun''s failure, Liu Xiu was also very proficient in marching and array.


    Before that, Liu Xiu showed more literary talent.


    Cao Cao, as well as his officials and generals, looked up to him. After knowing Liu Xiu''s literary talent, Jiangdong''s literary officials did not dare to boast in front of Liu Xiu.


    In addition, Liu Xiu also showed his swordsmanship and archery.


    The above two aspects are enough to reflect Liu Xiu''s promise of Wen and Wu. Now, we need to be proficient in military strategy.


    It''s very rare for such a person to be both literate and martial.


    Liu Xiusheng''s stay in Jingzhou is a disaster for Jiangdong.


    Tai Shici''s eyes narrowed and murmured: "this battle, in any case, must take you. It''s worth it to take you down, even if it''s a loss. "


    ¡­¡­


    At night, the waning moon hangs high.


    Jiuxu mountain, the top of the mountain.


    Liu Pan has been waiting for Liu Xiu to meet him, waiting for Liu Xiu to attack the mountain. Then he goes down the mountain and joins Liu Xiu. But Liu Xiu set up camp at the foot of the mountain and fought with the Jiangdong army.


    This situation disappointed Liu Pan.


    Huang Zhong noticed Liu Pan''s impatience and comforted him: "general pan, don''t worry. Since you have arrived at Jiuxu mountain, you will surely find a way to save us."


    Liu Pan nodded and said, "since the third brother is here, he will try his best to save us. It''s just that he doesn''t have many troops under his command. The longer he delays, the worse it will be for us. He''s not willing to give up. "


    Although looking forward to Liu Xiu''s rescue, Liu Pan is also worried about the current situation.


    After all, Liu Xiu is short of troops.


    After hearing this, Huang Zhong sighed. He looked down the mountain, stared at Liu Xiu''s barracks, and said slowly: "in the afternoon war, judging from the fighting situation between the two sides, it was Mr. Xiu who won. Next, as long as master Xiu blocks taishici''s attack, he will be able to take us down the mountain. "


    Liu Pan thought about it and said, "why don''t we take the initiative to go down the mountain?"


    Huang Zhong shook his head and said, "no, we will immediately affect the situation and change it. At that time, it will be possible to make plans to repair the young master in disorder. "


    Liu Pan said, "it''s not a long-term plan for us to stay on the mountain all the time."


    "General pan, wait a second, wait a second."


    Huang Zhong''s eyes turned from the barracks to Liu Pan. However, the situation of the barracks suddenly appeared in his mind. His eyes immediately returned to the barracks and said, "general, look at the Barracks at the foot of the mountain."


    Liu Pan stares at the barracks and looks at it carefully for a long time. He doesn''t find anything unusual. He asks, "Hansheng, there''s nothing wrong. What do you find?"Huang Zhong said: "general, pay close attention to the place where there is a torch in the camp. It''s a typesetting."


    Liu Pan watched carefully and found the situation.


    The layout of the torches in the barracks was arranged in words.


    "Beacon smoke is the signal, and the west side breaks through."


    Eight words, arranged at the foot of the mountain. If you look at the arrangement of the firelight, you will find that this arrangement is very obvious. After Liu Pan saw it, his eyes brightened and he said, "OK, what a firelight. The third brother''s move is very ingenious. "


    Huang Zhong said with a straight face: "master Xiu''s stratagem is outstanding. It''s really extraordinary."


    The torch in the barracks was specially designed by Liu Xiu.


    Taishici trapped Liu Pan and Huang Zhong in Jiuxu mountain. Soldiers were set up at all levels to stop them. Liu Xiu''s soldiers could not rush up the mountain directly. To tell Liu Pan, we must find another way.


    This strategy was considered by Liu Xiu.


    Liu Pan said, "Hansheng, we have received the news now. How can we tell our third brother?"


    Huang Zhong said with a smile: "general, it''s very easy to tell young master Xiu. We ignited the fire on the mountain, the fire was burning, and the smoke was rolling. Master Xiu must understand. What''s more, young master Xiu wrote the signal of beacon smoke, which is not only the time he told us the action, but also the way we received the news. "


    Liu Pan was overjoyed and ordered the soldiers to take action.


    The dry firewood was lit on the mountain, the red light was lit, and the smoke was rolling into the sky.


    This situation was noticed by Jingzhou soldiers in the Western barracks and immediately informed Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu came to the camp tent, looked up to see the light of the fire on the top of the mountain, and told the soldiers to put out the torches in the camp.


    After the torch was put out, the light of the fire on the mountain was soon extinguished.


    In this case, Liu Xiu understood that Liu Pan must have received the news.


    The movement of the top of the mountain was heard by Tess.


    Taishici knew that there was a big fire on the mountain, and soon it went out again. He guessed what message Liu Pan wanted to tell Liu Xiu. But taishici couldn''t figure out the specific message, so he had to stop it with silence.


    Early the next morning, Liu Xiu pulled out of camp and led his troops to attack the garrison in the west of Jiuxu mountain.


    When taishici got the news, he led the army to the west of Jiuxu mountain. However, Liu Xiu took the lead in reaching the west of Jiuxu mountain, lighting the beacon fire and launching a fierce attack.


    As the war broke out, Liu Pan got the news and led more than 1000 soldiers down the mountain.


    Liu Xiu attacked Jiangdong soldiers from the foot of the mountain. Liu Pan and Huang Zhong led the soldiers to dive down from the mountain. When the two sides attacked each other, the barrier set up by taishici was soon broken.


    After the two sides met, Liu Xiu met Liu Pan.


    At this time, Liu Pan was tired and haggard. But the look in his eyes was very bright. Standing in front of Liu Xiushen, Liu Pan excitedly said: "third brother, without you, I can only be trapped on the mountain. If you don''t say thank you for your kindness, everything will be in silence. "


    Liu Xiu said, "my brother, you don''t have to."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "brother, this time I will save you from going down the mountain. My plan is like this..." Immediately, Liu Xiu said the whole plan again. After listening to it, Liu Pan praised it again and again and said, "the third brother''s plan is very good. I''ll listen to you."


    Huang Zhong hugged his fist and said, "everything will be arranged by master Xiu."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "let''s go down the mountain."


    As soon as the army came down to the foot of the mountain, they met Tai Shici, who led the army to kill him.


    At this time, Tai Shici was dressed in armor, wearing an iron helmet, holding a big gun in his hand, and his eyes fell on the Jingzhou soldiers at the foot of the mountain. He had sharp eyes, pointed his long gun to the front, and roared: "Liu Xiu, Liu Pan, you are surrounded. Put down your arms and surrender immediately. You will be spared your death."


    The black army has blocked all the roads to the west of Jiuxu mountain.


    If Liu Xiu wants to break through, he has to break through.

 Chapter 159

    In the west of Jiuxu mountain, taishici laid a net to block Liu Xiu''s retreat. Therefore, we have the strength to win Liu Xiu.


    In this battle, Tess must win.


    In Tai Shici''s view, Liu Xiu is a young tiger. Once he grows up, he will certainly pose a threat to Jiangdong. Therefore, no matter what the cost of this war, we must take Liu Xiu. If you can''t capture them alive, you have to kill them.


    Liu Xiu stood among the soldiers. He also saw Tai Shici and said in a loud voice, "Tai Shici, it''s you who should surrender. In this battle, you will surely lose. "


    Tai Shici''s eyes were cold, and he said: "stubborn!"


    Liu Xiu retorted: "you are stubborn."


    Tai Shici said: "Liu Xiu, you have considered it clearly. Now, you only have more than 1000 soldiers, under the command of the general, with more than 10000 troops. Once Ben will order, you will die in this war. You''re dead. Everything''s gone. "


    Judging from yesterday''s fighting, Liu Xiu''s troops were also elite, and his ability to command soldiers was even more exquisite.


    The result of his hope is to subdue people without fighting.


    If Liu Xiu could be forced to surrender, it would be the best result. Moreover, procrastination is also good for taishici, which can gradually consume the morale of Liu Xiu''s soldiers.


    With a smile in his mouth, Liu Xiu said in a loud voice: "taishici, Sun Quan is a gloomy man, not a master of Ming Dynasty. And Sun Quan is in a corner, the pattern is too small to give you room for development. As long as you surrender to Jingzhou, I will personally guarantee you and recommend you to be the prefect. In the future, you will be a prime minister. "


    In front of all Jiangdong soldiers, Liu Xiu openly dug the wall.


    Tai Shici snorted and said, "Tai Shici is loyal to the Lord. He will never change his family."


    Liu Xiu retorted: "I remember very well. At the beginning, general Taishi used to be Liu Yao''s man. Later, did not he also submit to sun CE? Since there will be a second time, naturally there will be a second time. As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good minister decides what to do. Sun Quan''s lack of spirit is not the master of Ming Dynasty. If you follow Sun Quan, you can only be the Pearl of the world. "


    When Tai Shici heard the speech, his anger rose.


    In the past, when he followed Liu you, he did not value him, let alone believe him. However, Sun Jian relied on him everywhere, and Sun Quan also entrusted him with a heavy task, which can not be compared.


    After all, the surrender to sun CE was a big stain, which made Tai Shici angry.


    Tai Shici snorted and said, "what kind of master is Liu Biao? Liu is lenient on the outside, but he has no ability at all. He is sitting in Jingzhou, so he is bound to make dowries for others. "


    As soon as these words came out, Liu Pan became angry.


    As Liu Biao''s nephew, taishici insulted Liu Biao, and Liu Pan couldn''t help it.


    Liu Xiu waved to Liu Pan to suppress his anger and continued: "general Taishi said that, he had prejudice against my father. My father''s governance of Jingzhou, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the territory of the war subsided, can be described as boundless merit, outstanding ability. How can this not be the Lord? How to say no ability? General Tai Shi was deceived because he believed Sun Quan''s words. Now it''s still time to turn around. "


    In a word, Sun Quan is to blame.


    Taishici was furious and had a verbal confrontation. He was not Liu Xiu''s opponent and was run by Liu Xiu everywhere.


    Pan Jun stood beside Tai Shici and said, "general, you don''t have to argue with Liu Xiu. Attack him directly. Liu Xiu is now blocked in Jiuxu mountain, he can no longer layout defense


    Tai Shici nodded, he wanted to consume each other''s morale, but Liu Xiu''s tricky mouth, repeatedly run him, but it is to fight the morale of Jingzhou soldiers. If this situation continues, it will be unfavourable to the situation. Rather than this, it is better to go to war directly.


    Taishici pointed his long gun to the front and ordered, "kill!"


    With a command, the soldiers under taishici rushed forward and rushed to Jingzhou soldiers.


    Liu Xiu, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong took the lead in rushing forward. The light of the sword was flashing and the sword was breathing. After contacting with the Jiangdong soldiers, in a flash, they tore the Jiangdong soldiers'' defense line and entered it.


    After the confluence of more than 2000 Jingzhou soldiers, followed closely, began to break through.


    Pan Jun stares at Liu Xiu''s position. He sees that Liu Xiu is killed among the soldiers. He drives his horse out and rushes straight to Liu Xiu. He raises his steel knife and roars: "Liu Xiu, take your life."


    The sound of the horse''s hooves, trampling on the ground, has been approaching Liu Xiu.


    "General Hansheng, protect me."


    With a loud cry, Liu Xiu took down the iron tire bow from his left hand and an iron arrow from his back with his right hand.


    The iron arrow put on the bow string and aimed at Pan Jun.


    Huang Zhonghu is beside Liu Xiu. The blade cuts and kills the rushing jiangdongbing. He looks at Liu Xiu with a trace of surprise. He knew that Liu Xiujian was excellent, but he didn''t expect that even archery was quite extraordinary.


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu drinks low and releases the bow string.


    "Whew!"


    The iron arrow broke through the air and passed a streamer in the air. In the blink of an eye, it came to Pan Jun''s body.


    "Poof


    The iron arrow pierced Pan Jun''s heart and then passed through his chest. The tip of the iron arrow with a cloud of blood, in the air after rowing, fell to the ground.Pan Jun''s eyes widened. His eyes were full of wonder and surprise. He didn''t expect Liu Xiu to shoot him with an arrow. Pan Jun covered his chest with blood and opened his mouth to speak, but his mind was already in chaos and his body fell down involuntarily.


    The big body, fell to the ground.


    Liu Xiu put away his bow and arrow, put his sword out of its sheath, and roared, "kill, kill out of the encirclement."


    Liu Pan roared: "kill, kill out."


    Huang Zhong''s blade is ferocious and invincible. While fighting, he roared: "if we go out, we will be saved. Children, here''s a chance. Kill them. "


    Three people advance side by side, like a sharp cone into the Jiangdong soldiers, invincible.


    The soldiers under his command are in high morale.


    A steady stream of Jiangdong soldiers rushed up and were killed back.


    When Tai Shici sat in the rear of the town and saw Pan Jun shot, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.


    Taishici himself is a master of archery. He didn''t expect that Liu Xiu''s archery had reached this point. Taishici found that the evaluation of Liu Xiu was still too low.


    "Deng Shao, Jiang Biao, you contain Huang Zhong; Hu Han, Zheng Zi, you contain Liu Pan, you were going to kill Liu Xiu."


    Seeing that Liu Xiu''s threat was becoming more and more serious, Tai Shici personally drove his horse out. Deng Shao, Jiang Biao, Hu Han and Zheng Zi, the four generals, followed Tai Shici, killed Liu Xiu and others to stop them.


    At the same time, the Jiangdong soldiers under taishici besieged Jiangdong soldiers with all their strength.


    The two sides were fighting at the foot of Jiuxu mountain, and the fighting became more intense.


    The casualties are increasing.


    Taishici stares at Liu Xiu and drives his horse close. Facing the approaching of taishici, Liu Xiu didn''t use bow and arrow, because taishici himself was a master of archery. Using bow and arrow to attack taishici had little effect. Liu Xiu''s eyes were sharp. Seeing the horses coming, he rushed directly to taishici.


    "Liu Xiu, die."


    As soon as taishici''s gun shook, the tip of the gun was like a python coming out of the hole and stabbing Liu Xiu.


    "Come here!"


    Liu Xiu quickly reaches for his hand, grabs a Jiangdong soldier and smashes him at the barrel of the gun. Seeing that his soldiers were used as shields, Tai Shici immediately changed his moves and took back his gun.


    "Go on!"


    Liu Xiu suddenly threw jiang Dongbing out.


    Jiang Dongbing hit taishici like a shell. Tai Shici frowned and quickly turned his horse to avoid. Just then, Liu Xiu rushed up.


    The sword in hand is like a ghost.


    "Poof


    The point of the sword pierces the horse''s throat, and a sword pierces it.


    After Liu Xiu succeeded in the attack, he immediately withdrew and hid among the soldiers.


    Tai Shici''s horse looked up at Xi Yuyu''s lament. A moment later, he fell to the ground. At the moment when the horse fell to the ground, Tai Shici also jumped off the horse and stood on the ground. He stared at the direction where Liu Xiu was and said, "Liu Xiu, I will kill you today."


    The horse in his crotch has been following taishici for many years.


    Today, when he died in Liu Xiu''s hands, Tai Shici felt extremely sad.


    With a smile in his mouth, Liu Xiu said in a loud voice: "Tai Shici, it''s not known who will kill. Although the soldiers under my command are surrounded, their morale is high and they will soon be able to stand out from the encirclement. "


    Although the troops are insufficient, the soldiers in Jingzhou are full of fighting spirit and are sure to make a living.


    Taishici said in a deep voice: "even if you put on your wings, you don''t want to kill it."


    Liu xiudao: "you dream slowly, don''t accompany you." After that, Liu Xiu immediately rushed into the soldiers and continued to rush forward. He didn''t fight with Tai Shici at all.

 Chapter 160

    Deng Shao and Jiang Biao rush to Huang Zhong, both of whom are powerful generals under Tai Shici''s account. Deng Shao holds a big gun, the tip of the gun shakes, straight to Huang Zhong''s face. Huang Zhong''s knife is sharp, and he cuts it down and takes Deng Shao''s shot away.


    Jiang Biao followed him with a sharp blade and went straight to Huang Zhong''s shoulder.


    Huang Zhong''s footstep moves and his big body moves to avoid the knife.


    In the face of their siege, Huang Zhong''s face remained unchanged, and his eyes showed a sharp edge. Although Huang Zhong is in his early fifties, he is a master of martial arts.


    "Huang Zhong, die."


    Deng Shao roared and once again approached Huang Zhong with a gun.


    The big gun sweeps, hangs the sharp whistling sound, is the imposing momentum.


    In the face of danger, Huang Zhong raised his big knife and welcomed it.


    "Kill


    Huang Zhong roared, swung the blade and banged into Deng Shao''s gun. Deng Shao thought that Huang Zhong was full of strength, so he had already mustered up all his strength. But when the impact of the moment, Deng Shao heart is not good. Because the barrel of the gun hit the blade, the strength of the other side was soft and light, and his strength seemed to fall into the mire.


    With one move, Deng Shao lost his focus.


    Huang Zhong kept on walking and went on to meet Deng Shao.


    "Hum!"


    As soon as the blade turned, it flashed across the air.


    Huang Zhong doesn''t look at Deng Shao any more and rushes to Jiang Biao with a knife. Huang Zhong''s Sabre power is open and close. It''s hard with softness, and soft with hardness. It''s hard with softness. Continuous attacks make Jiang Biao retreat.


    Suddenly, Jiang Biao''s eyes widened.


    Deng Shao''s neck, a spatter of blood, Deng Shao scream, head fell to the ground.


    "I was distracted in the face of war. It''s your turn to be killed."


    Huang Zhong''s blade passed by, and then he cut it on Jiang Biao''s blade.


    "Dang!"


    The forceful power burst out, and the soft power became rigid and fierce.


    Under one blow, Jiang Biao''s hands burst and his knife was broken. In an instant, Jiang Biao''s chest opened wide, revealing flaws everywhere. Jiang Biao was so anxious that he quickly backed away. Rao is so, Jiang Biao is still a step late, Huang Zhong step forward, the point of the knife.


    Poof!


    The sharp blade penetrated into Jiang Biao''s chest and passed through his chest.


    Huang Zhong drew out the blade and went on.


    On the other hand, facing the siege of Hu Han and Zheng Zi, Liu Pan cut and killed again and again, seriously injured Hu Han and Zheng Zi, got rid of their siege and continued to break through.


    Liu Xiu, Huang Zhong and Liu Pan led the army and rushed out quickly.


    Taishici pursues Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu doesn''t keep his hand. He keeps avoiding taishici, so that taishici can''t catch up with Liu Xiu.


    "Break through, break through."


    As Liu Xiu retreated, he roared.


    The soldiers under his command, following Liu Xiu, quickly broke through to the west of Jiuxu mountain.


    Taishici was anxious and pursued quickly. But after a while, he had lost him and could no longer see where Liu Xiu was. With a glance, he saw that Huang Zhong and Liu Pan were still fighting and running away.


    "Shoot one first, then chase."


    Tisci stopped, put his gun on the ground, took the iron bow from his waist, took a bow from the quiver and put it on the bowstring. Taishici held his breath and aimed at Liu Pan who was breaking through the encirclement.


    "Kill


    As soon as his hand was released, his bow and arrow came out.


    "Whew!"


    An arrow flashed in the air.


    At this time, a soldier suddenly burst out in front of him. The point of his arrow went forward and burst into the soldier''s body. In a flash, through the body of the soldiers, the direction of the arrow tip remains unchanged, the strength is still strong.


    Taishici is good at archery, and he can shoot at every step. When he shot an arrow, he had already considered that some soldiers might suddenly rush out, and the strength of the arrow was extremely strong.


    "Poof


    The tip of the arrow turned into a streamer and hit Liu Pan on the back.


    An arrow pierces the heart.


    Liu Pan screamed, his body in the inertia of the sprint, directly fell on the ground in front of him, coughing up blood in his mouth.


    Seeing this, Huang Zhong stops and squats on the ground to help Liu Pan. He looked back and saw that Tai Shici arched again. He quickly picked up Liu Pan, hid among the soldiers and continued to run.


    Not long after, Huang Zhong saw Liu Xiu and said in a loud voice, "master Xiu, general pan has been hit by an arrow."


    Liu Xiu, who is running forward, immediately stops when he hears the news and turns to Huang Zhong. At this time, Liu Pan had been coughing up blood, and the look in his eyes was gradually dim.


    He looked at Liu Xiu and said, "third brother, the failure of this war is due to my self willed and my failure to listen to Han Sheng''s advice. I''m not willing to lose to Tsz. Take revenge for me. "


    Liu Xiu said in a hurry: "brother, you will be OK. Hold on. We will go back to Ancheng County immediately."


    Liu Pan''s face became pale and said, "no, I can''t. I''m so tired..." He reached for Liu Xiu''s hand and whispered: "revenge, we must..."The words didn''t finish, the hand completely loosened, fell to the ground.


    Taishici''s arrow, into Liu Pan''s heart, has penetrated the heart, can not be retrieved.


    Liu Xiu''s face showed a look of grief, and said: "general Hansheng, withdraw, continue to withdraw."


    Huang Zhong nodded solemnly, holding Liu Pan and retreating quickly.


    With the continuous retreat of the Jingzhou soldiers, they gradually opened a certain distance from the Jiangdong soldiers. However, Jiangdong soldiers were in hot pursuit, and Jingzhou soldiers were always in taishici''s sight.


    Taishici had long been able to take Liu Pan and Huang Zhong. When he besieged Liu Pan and Huang Zhong, if he chose to attack, he might have defeated Liu Pan. The reason why he waited was to take Liu Xiu.


    Now not only Liu Xiu did not win, but Huang Zhong and Liu Pan also fled, and he was not reconciled.


    Taishici gun run, roared: "chase, can''t let Liu Xiu escape." Liu Xiu''s soldiers, however, have never been able to escape the pursuit of Jiangdong soldiers in the rear.


    Liu Xiu retreated quickly. As time went on, he gradually opened the distance.


    After running for more than half an hour, there was a fork in the official road. The soldiers under Liu Xiu''s command were exhausted. Fortunately, they got rid of the pursuers in the rear temporarily and could stop for a rest.


    Huang Zhong held Liu pan out of breath. He was short of breath and said, "young master Xiu, the soldiers are exhausted. Stop and have a rest."


    Liu Xiu nodded, and his soldiers stopped for a while.


    Liu Pan sighed in his heart and looked down at all the corpses.


    In this war, Liu Pan lost his wisdom and died here. Liu Pan was in charge of Changsha County. Before Tai Shici was in charge of Yuzhang County, Sun Quan had a headache because of his great achievements. However, after taishici came to Yuzhang County, Liu Pan did more work. As a result, Liu Pan had too much hatred for Tai Shici in his heart.


    Liu Pan wants to wash away his humiliation of being inferior to Tai Shici. But he didn''t expect that he was headstrong and despised the enemy''s rash advance, which led to the destruction of 30000 troops and the loss of his own life.


    Huang Zhong looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Xiu, what shall we do next?"


    "Wait! When Tai Shici comes, he can''t be lost. "


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, there was a trace of essence. This battle has just begun. It is not so easy for taishici to gain a foothold in Ancheng county.


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, a soldier came quickly and reported: "my Lord, Tai Shici is coming again. He is coming again."


    Words, with a strong worry and anxiety.


    After several escapes, the soldiers were also very nervous.


    Liu Xiu stood up and ordered the soldiers to retreat, ready to order further retreat. But at this time, Liu Xiu looked up, but saw the direction of Jiuxu mountain, smoke, to the mouth and swallow back, face also has a smile.


    The opportunity is ripe.


    Now, there is no need to retreat.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Zhong and said excitedly, "Hansheng, it''s a success. Another group of soldiers stormed into taishici''s camp and set it on fire. It was successful. Now, we can prepare for the counterattack. "


    When Huang Zhong came down the mountain and met Liu Xiu, he knew Liu Xiu''s plan. Looking up, he saw that the direction of Jiuxu mountain was burning thick smoke, and he was relieved.


    Liu Xiu turned to his soldiers and said in a loud voice, "soldiers, it''s our turn to fight back. See the smoke in the direction of Jiuxu mountain? Taishici''s camp has been burned by another army. Our other army has succeeded. "


    As soon as the words came out, the soldier felt as if he had injected a burst of cardiotonic into his heart.


    All the soldiers were like chicken blood.


    Liu Xiu continued: "General Liu Pan died under the arrow of Tai Shici. If you don''t take revenge, you will swear not to be a man. Today, we will be avenged by General Liu Pan and swear to kill Tai Shici! "


    "Swear to kill Tai Shici!"


    Huang Zhong clenched his fist and responded loudly.


    "Swear to kill Tai Shici!"


    "Swear to kill Tai Shici!"


    One by one, the soldiers'' emotions were aroused and their fighting spirit gradually appeared in their eyes.


    Taishici leads the army to arrive, just heard the words of Liu Xiu''s soldiers. He saw Liu Xiu''s soldiers fighting high spirited, with a look of contempt between his brows. This army has been defeated, has been constantly fleeing, even want to resist, fool dream.


    It''s just that Liu Xiu doesn''t escape. If he stays to fight, he''s looking for his own death.

 Chapter 161

    Taishici gun forward, staring at the direction of Liu Xiu, said in a loud voice: "Liu Xiu, you don''t retreat. Now, you stop and plan to kill the general. It''s beyond your ability. "


    Words, with a strong disdain.


    Up to now, the troops under his command are close to more than ten thousand soldiers. After the confluence of Liu Xiu and Liu Pan, after some fighting, the troops under his command were no more than 1000, and the gap between the two sides was close to 10:1, which was a huge gap that could not be crossed.


    That''s why he has enough confidence.


    Facing Tai Shici, Liu Xiu was calm and said, "Tai Shici, I have been retreating before, but now I suddenly stop. Don''t you find anything different?"


    Taishici left and right to watch, this place, is a three fork in the road. In the surrounding area, there is no mountain forest, no steep terrain, and the terrain at Sanchakou is flat, so it is impossible to lay an ambush.


    For a moment, Tai Shici also found out Liu Xiu''s intention.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "don''t worry, there is no ambush around. Don''t worry."


    After taishici listened, his heart was more alert. Liu felt that the more he felt sure that there was no ambush in his heart, the more he said.


    Taishici said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu, you are doomed to lose. Liu Panzhong''s arrow died, and there are no leaders in the army. Now, what are you going to do against the general''s army? "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "general Taishi, have you thought about it carefully? How long have you been chasing?"


    "Close to an hour," he said


    Liu xiudao: "an hour''s journey, we are far away from Jiuxu mountain."


    When Tai Shici heard the speech, he turned his mind and looked back at the direction of Jiuxu mountain. Then he realized that the sky above Jiuxu mountain was already full of smoke, but Tai Shici still didn''t think what it was.


    Liu Xiu said: "see the smoke, what do you think of?"


    Taishici said: "make a mystery!"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "it''s not a mystery. It''s my son who has already set up a plan."


    Tai Shici frowned and thought of the smoke he had just seen. He thought, is Liu Xiu''s stratagem related to the smoke?


    Liu Xiu explained: "after Liu Xiu finished writing, he sealed the letter and sent the soldiers back to Xiangyang as soon as possible.

 Chapter 162

    The moon at the end of September is cold everywhere.


    The waning moon hangs and the gate of Youxian county is closed. On the tower, Pang Tong lay on his bed to rest. Since Liu Xiu left you County, Pang Tong and Deng Zhan have come to the South Gate Tower to have a rest.


    The army, too, was stationed on the tower.


    Pang Tong and Deng Zhan don''t care about the rest, but Kuai Qi is responsible for the government affairs.


    The soldiers on guard in the city tower felt strange when they saw Pang Tong and Deng Zhan staying in the city tower all the time, but they could not ask. They could only resist their curiosity.


    The night was as silent as before.


    The soldiers on the tower patrolled back and forth, looking outside the city from time to time, but there was silence outside the city. Late at night, the first group of patrol soldiers became a little tired. After the change of post, another group of soldiers began to patrol to ensure the safety of the tower.


    Suddenly, a noise came from outside the city.


    Not long after, a group of ragged soldiers appeared outside the city.


    When the soldiers on guard saw it, they felt refreshed. They thought of what Pang Tong had ordered before. As soon as there was a situation, they immediately went to Pang Tong''s room, stood outside the door, knocked on Pang Tong''s door, and said in a loud voice: "military division, there is a group of soldiers outside the city."


    When Pang Tong got the news, a carp straightened out. He immediately turned over and put on his clothes. Then he opened the door and said, "come on, go and invite Deng Xian Wei."


    "No!"


    When the soldier got the order, he went to inform Deng Zhan.


    After a while, Deng Zhan came to Pang Tong. They stood on the tower and looked at a group of soldiers approaching the tower. This group of soldiers were dressed as Jingzhou soldiers and Liupan soldiers.


    Soon after, the team assembled outside the city.


    Deng Zhan made a cursory sweep and said, "there are about 800 soldiers outside the city


    Pang Tong nodded and said, "800 soldiers, very good!"


    At this time, the leader below looked up to the upper floor of the city and said in a loud voice, "we are soldiers who escaped from Ancheng county. Put down the suspension bridge and let us enter the city."


    The man who spoke was Sun Ren.


    He led 800 soldiers, pretending to be soldiers under Liu Pan''s command, driving day and night, and finally came to the city floor.


    At this time, he and his soldiers were all tired.


    You county is empty. There are 800 soldiers under sun Ren''s command. As long as they enter the city, they will be able to control you county. Once you county is controlled, Liu Xiu will lose his rear area and he will surely lose.


    Pang Tong was on the tower, his eyes were full of banter, but he put on a serious expression on his face and said in a loud voice: "the Lord led the army to rescue in Ancheng County, didn''t you meet him?"


    "No!"


    Sun Ren didn''t even think about it. He replied directly: "at that time, there was a flood in Ancheng County, and all of us were washed away by the flood. All the way back, only gradually gathered together, and finally came back to you county. "


    Pang Tong thought about it and asked, "what''s the situation ahead?"


    Sun Ren said: "on our way back, we heard that general pan was besieged in Jiuxu mountain. However, due to the shortage of our troops, we were unable to go to the rescue, so we had to withdraw to you county first. We escaped all the way back. We haven''t had a full meal for a long time. Please put down the suspension bridge, open the gate and let us enter the city. "


    Pang Tong waved and said, "you wait. I''ll order the suspension bridge to be lowered."


    "Drop the drawbridge!"


    Pang Tong waved. The soldiers stationed in the tower pulled the mechanism. The rope of the suspension bridge turned and the suspension bridge was slowly released.


    Bang Dang!


    A suspension bridge, one foot wide and two feet long, runs across the moat.


    Sun Ren was overjoyed. He bowed his hands and said, "thank you, thank you."


    "Come on, let''s go to town."


    Sun Ren waved, with 800 soldiers under his command, quickly entered the city. As soon as sun Rengang entered the city, the suspension bridge crunched up and finally closed. Sun Ren and his 800 soldiers were blocked in the urn.


    The gate to the inner city was closed but not opened.


    Seeing this, sun Ren had a bad feeling in his heart. He looked up at the upper floor of the city and said in a loud voice, "my Lord, I closed the suspension bridge, but I didn''t open the gate to the inner city. What''s the matter?"


    Pang Tong said: "you are a bandit sent by Jiangdong. Can I open the gate of the inner city? To let you into the inner city is to lead the wolf into the house. "


    Sun Ren was shocked. How did the other party find out?


    Sun Ren asked himself that he didn''t show any flaws, but the other side just broke their identity. Sun Ren looked calm and said in a loud voice, "my Lord, I don''t understand you. We are soldiers under general Liu Pan. How can we be from Jiangdong? "


    Pang Tong said, "do you know why I judge you to be from Jiangdong?"


    Sun Ren said: "what is the basis for adults?"


    Pang Tong said with a smile: "before the LORD went to Ancheng County, he ordered people to set up checkpoints in the main roads of you county and Chaling county to prohibit the defeated deserters from returning. You alone, led 800 soldiers back to you county. So many soldiers under your command must be at night and in the daytime, so that they can avoid the search of switch cards and return to you County safely. "After a pause, Pang Tong said: "just imagine, when a normal soldier returns to you County, he can walk in an open and aboveboard manner without having to lie down in the daytime and go out at night. You are not Jiang Dongbing. What is that? "


    Sun Ren was speechless.


    Originally, sun Ren planned to come to you county to take credit. Unexpectedly, people set up an ambush and waited for him to get in by himself. Sun Ren looked around. He looked back at the closed suspension bridge and gate. The suspension bridge is blocked. He can''t cut the rope. It''s impossible to rush out of the gate.


    Sun Ren took a deep breath and said, "my Lord, you must have misunderstood me."


    The tone of voice, quietly changed, lack of confidence, no longer before the tough.


    Pang Tong sneered and threatened: "since you don''t want to cooperate, I''d rather kill the wrong one than let it go. Come on, Archer, get ready. "


    On the tower, a torch lights up.


    A soldier with a bow and arrow emerged from the tower and aimed his arrow at Sun Ren and others in the urn. All the 800 soldiers became turtles in the urn, and there was no place to escape, because there was no place to escape the bow and arrow in the urn.


    Seeing this, sun Ren said, "I surrender!"


    Pang Tong said with a sneer, "my Lord, I had expected that taishici would send someone to attack you county. Your little trick is far from enough. Drop all your weapons, go to the left side of the urn and squat down. "


    Sun Ren clenched the knife, clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched, repeated several times, dropped the knife.


    "Bang Dang! Bang


    A steel knife was thrown on the ground.


    Sun Ren and his soldiers went to the left side of the urn and squatted against the wall.


    Pang Tong waved and ordered his soldiers to open the gate of the inner city. Soon, a group of soldiers rushed out, quickly collected all the weapons of Jiangdong soldiers, and then took sun Ren and the other 800 soldiers into custody.


    On the tower, in the house.


    Pang Tong and Deng Zhan took their seats respectively. Sun Ren was tied up and stood in the hall.


    Pang Tong asked, "what''s your name?"


    "Sun Ren!" Sun Ren replied.


    Pang Tong''s eyebrows trembled, his eyes turned, and said, "you are sun Ren, who followed Lu Su to Xiangyang and provoked Jingzhou, but was defeated by the Lord."


    "It''s me," Sun said


    Pang Tong nodded and said, "I didn''t expect to catch a big fish. Come on, take sun Ren down and detain him with 800 soldiers. "


    Knowing the identity of sun Ren, Pang Tong was even more satisfied.


    Sun Ren said, "no, I want a separate room."


    Pang Tong said: "you are just a prisoner. You want a separate room. It''s impossible. You are now a prisoner, not a tourist in you county. "


    Sun Ren gritted his teeth and said, "I''m Sun Quan''s younger brother. You wronged me. Hum..."


    In words, the meaning of threat is self-evident.


    Pang Tong laughed and said, "you are Sun Quan''s younger brother. That''s good. You caught Sun Quan''s younger brother and a big fish. You are Sun Quan''s younger brother and can be held in solitary confinement. "


    Immediately, Pang Tong ordered the soldiers to detain sun Ren alone.


    When the soldiers took sun Ren back, Pang Tong looked at Deng Zhan and waved, "brother Deng, the matter in you county has been solved. Now, you can tell the Lord about you county. "


    Deng Zhan said: "my Lord will be glad to know about the war in you county. I will send someone to deliver the letter immediately."


    Pang Tong watched Deng Zhan leave, thinking about whether to go to Ancheng county.


    After all, Liu Xiu''s arrangement has been completed. Now he doesn''t need to be in Youxian. However, after pondering for a long time, Pang Tong finally sighed and chose to stay. You county needed someone to sit down. He was not ordered to go to the front line.

 Chapter 163

    On September 28, Liu Pan was buried.


    Liu Pan was buried in a high mountain in the west of Ancheng county. His back is against the mountain, and his front is surrounded by flowing water. The surrounding trees are full of shade. Looking ahead, he can see endless and vast.


    Liu Pan''s coffin moved forward slowly, and Liu Xiu helped the coffin to bury himself.


    All the generals in the army went to mourn and send Liu Pan for the last journey. As the coffin was buried, the soldiers began to fill it.


    A new grave stands at the foot of the mountain.


    Liu Xiu, with a solemn face, bowed to the incense and then stood aside. He is not only a relative of Liu Pan, but also an equal relationship with Liu Pan, so he quietly looks at the generals in the army to worship.


    After the ceremony, Liu Xiu led the people back to the city.


    In the county government, Liu Xiu sat on the top, and all the generals in the army sat down. However, the magistrate of Ancheng county is sitting at the end, which is completely ignored. The magistrate of Ancheng County sat down, but he was frightened, for fear that he would be held responsible. After all, when taishici led his troops to attack, he didn''t resist much, so he opened the city and surrendered.


    Now that Liu Xiu has occupied Ancheng county again, the magistrate is naturally worried.


    However, Liu Xiu didn''t have the heart to deal with the magistrate of Ancheng county. He still had a lot to deal with.


    Liu Xiu glanced at the generals under his command and said in a deep voice: "brother was shot by Tai Shici. Before he died, he took my official''s hand and said that he must take revenge. His revenge must be avenged. If you don''t kill Tai Shici, you will never stop. Before that, you were all generals under my elder brother. Would you like to avenge my elder brother? "


    "Yes!"


    "The end will be willing!"


    "With the commander in chief, we will be able to avenge general pan."


    All the generals showed their loyalty.


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "the March will be arranged by himself. What you need to do now is to bring back all the soldiers scattered around in the shortest possible time. "


    That day, because of the river erosion, countless soldiers scattered.


    Today, there are only over 5000 soldiers under Liu Xiu''s command. Liu Xiu believes that as long as the scattered soldiers are constantly gathered up, more and more soldiers will surely return to Ancheng county.


    One more soldier, one more strength.


    In particular, Liu Pan''s soldiers are elite. It''s a pity to waste them.


    The generals nodded when they heard their mission.


    Liu Xiu arranged some other chores, so he waved the crowd down.


    In the hall, only Liu Xiu and Huang Zhong were left.


    Huang Zhong said: "Mr. Xiu, according to the news from the front line, taishici has set up camp in the east of Ancheng county again. It seems that he has not given up attacking Ancheng county. "


    Liu Xiu said: "taishici didn''t give up attacking Ancheng County, and I didn''t give up winning taishici. First, we''ll be stable. When we have enough troops, we''ll fight against Tarshis. "


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came in and reported: "my Lord, a man named Yueshan came from the county government to ask for a meeting."


    "Let him in."


    Liu Xiu eyebrow head a pick, in the eyes emerge a touch of expectation.


    The arrival of Yueshan means that you county may already have news.


    After a while, Yue Shan entered the hall. He respectfully saluted Liu Xiuxing and said, "my Lord, the county captain has a letter for you." With these words, Yue Shan tore open his clothes, took out a letter from the crevice of his clothes and handed it to Liu Xiu.


    After Liu Xiu opened it, he quickly looked at it, and a smile appeared on his face.


    As expected, taishici sent troops to attack you county. Unfortunately, Pang Tong was in charge of you county. In addition, Deng Zhan also led the soldiers to stay. Taishici''s strategy failed, and even sun Ren and 800 Jiangdong soldiers were detained in you county.


    Liu Xiu put down his letter and asked, "general Hansheng, you have been dealing with Jiangdong for a long time. Do you know a man named sunren?"


    "Sun Ren, I don''t know."


    Huang Zhong searched the memory in his brain without any impression.


    Liu Xiu handed the letter to Huang Zhong and said, "before I came to Ancheng County, I decided that taishici might attack empty You County, so I left the army waiting for the other party to enter the urn. I didn''t expect that taishici really sent troops to go. "


    After reading the letter, Huang Zhong was very surprised.


    I admire Liu Xiu''s arrangement.


    Huang Zhong looked convinced and said, "the letter says that sun Ren is Sun Quan''s younger brother. In this way, we have another chip in our hands. It''s easier to deal with Tsz. "


    Liu Xiu nodded, but he recalled it in his mind.


    In his memory, Sun Quan had no younger brother named sun Ren.


    However, Liu Xiu did not go to investigate, as long as he had the chips of sun Ren. Pang youyue County asked him to send him back to see him at once. Remember, you can''t leak information. "


    "I understand!"


    Yueshan turned away and rushed back to you County in the night.


    Liu xiudao: "general Hansheng, with the chip of sun Ren, we must make use of it. Now, let''s plan how to make the most of sun Ren. "Huang Zhong said: "the end will think, use sunren to do bait, catch taishici hook. Or... "


    Liu Xiu nodded, and they discussed it carefully.


    ¡­¡­


    You County, after returning to Yueshan, immediately returned to the barracks. After meeting Deng Zhan, Yue Shan told him the news. Deng Zhan found Pang Tong and said, "commander, the Lord asked you to escort sun Ren to Ancheng county."


    Pang Tong smelled the speech and his face showed a smile.


    Deng Zhan was very depressed and said, "my Lord didn''t say anything about my arrangement. It''s really hard."


    Pang Tong laughed and comforted him: "Deng Xian Wei, you county is the foundation of the Lord. The security of you county is related to the great cause of the Lord. You are the county captain, responsible for the security of you County, you must stay to guard. Otherwise, you county will make a mistake and the Lord will win in the front, which will be nothing. "


    Deng Zhan sighed and said, "just stay, just stay."


    Pang Tong said, "brother Deng, goodbye."


    At this moment, Pang tong can''t wait to go to Ancheng county. He stayed in you county and had nothing to deal with. The battle between Liu XiuXiu and Tai Shici in the front line was a real contest, which made Pang Tong yearn for. Pang Tong took sun Ren, escorted by Yue Shan and Qiu Bao, and ten soldiers to Ancheng county.


    On the way to escort, Pang Tong found something.


    Sun Ren is a girl!


    Before that, Pang Tong didn''t find out because he prepared a house for sun Ren when he was imprisoned, so sun Ren didn''t show any flaws.


    However, escorting sun Ren on his way is different.


    This time, he escorts sun Ren alone. Even if sun Ren goes to the toilet, Yue Shan and Qiu Bao will follow him to avoid sun Ren''s escape. But it happened that sun Ren was a woman. It was very inconvenient for him to go to the toilet. In particular, he couldn''t let Yue Shan and Qiu Bao follow him. He had to tell Pang Tong.


    After the news was exposed, Pang Tong was also shocked.


    After some interrogation, Pang Tong finally knew the real identity of sun Ren, who turned out to be sun Shangxiang, Sun Quan''s younger sister.


    Pang Tong and sun Shangxiang rushed all the way through Chaling County and soon arrived in Ancheng county.


    Arriving at the county seat, Pang Tong took sun Shangxiang to the County Yamen and met Liu Xiu. Pang Tong said straight to the point: "Lord, on the way here, I found that sun Ren is a daughter and Sun Quan''s younger sister, sun Shangxiang."


    Liu Xiu looked at sun Shangxiang with a look of surprise.


    Unexpectedly, sun Ren turned out to be sun Shangxiang.


    Liu Xiunao saw sun Shangxiang for the first time. At that time, sun Shangxiang''s voice was slightly feminine, and so was his sword technique. In retrospect, we can explain the past.


    All because sun Ren is sun Shangxiang.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on sun Shangxiang with a strong smile and said, "taishici is camping thirty miles to the east of Ancheng county. If taishici knows that you have been arrested, what will he think? It''s a wonderful move for Ciqi to attack you. "


    Sun Shangxiang glared angrily and said, "Liu Xiu, don''t try to threaten general Taishi with me."


    Liu Xiu said: "as long as I release the news that you have been arrested, Tai Shici will come naturally. The initiative in this war is no longer in the hands of Tai Shici. "


    Sun Shangxiang gritted his teeth when he heard the speech.


    At this time, her heart is more regret, early know not to fight to Youxian. If other people are caught, taishici will handle it well, but if she is caught by Liu Xiu, taishici will be in a dilemma.


    Liu Xiu looked at Yueshan and said, "Yueshan, sun Shangxiang is under your custody. If the person is missing, you can see him."


    "Don''t worry, my Lord!"


    Yueshan looked solemn. He made up his mind not to let Sun Shangxiang out of sight.


    "Take it down and put it in the barracks."


    Liu Xiu waved and Yueshan left with sun Shangxiang.

 Chapter 164

    Ancheng County, 30 Li to the East.


    Barracks, big accounts of the Chinese army.


    In this battle with Liu Xiu, his tiger generals Pan Jun, Jiang Biao and Deng Shao were killed, which damaged the three main generals. Hu Han and Zheng Zi were also injured, and his soldiers suffered heavy losses. When he came to Ancheng County, there were more than 10000 soldiers under his command. After some fighting, there were only more than 8000 soldiers under his command, which can be described as a heavy loss.


    Since taking charge of the battle in Yuzhang County, taishici has been involved in this battle. Now that sun Shangxiang has been arrested, taishici can''t explain to Sun Quan, so you can imagine his troubles.


    Once the news is sent back to Wu County, the consequences will be serious.


    "What to do?"


    Tess scratched his head, his eyes full of anxiety. If an ordinary general is captured, taishici will handle it very easily, but sun Shangxiang is different. Taishici can''t care whether sun Shangxiang is alive or dead.


    "Come on, Zheng Zi, please come to camp."


    Taishici thought for a long time and couldn''t find a solution. He sent someone to call Zheng Zi.


    After a while, Zheng Zi came to the camp.


    Hu Han and Zheng Zi were both in the camp. Zheng Zi asked, "general, what can I do for you?"


    Tai Shici frowned and said in a deep voice: "just now, Tai Shici sent envoys to say that sun Shangxiang was arrested. At present, people are in Ancheng county. "


    Brush!


    Zheng Zi''s face changed greatly when he heard the speech.


    Zheng Zi is also a tiger general in the army. He knows the consequences of sun Shangxiang''s capture.


    Hu Han just heard the news. He looked dignified and said slowly: "general, sun Shangxiang''s identity is extraordinary. Now that he is arrested, it''s very difficult to do. If Liu Xiu doesn''t let people go, there''s no way. "


    Zheng Zi then said: "specifically, it depends on Liu Xiu''s conditions."


    Tai Shici said: "sun Shangxiang must be rescued. It''s impossible to sit back and ignore him. Ben won''t be able to think of a solution for a while. He will think about it and see if he can find a solution. "


    Hu Han turned his eyes and continued: "general, can you send someone to disguise and enter the county, and then look for an opportunity to rescue sun Shangxiang? If it can be safely rescued, that is the best result, no longer care about Liu Xiu''s conditions. "


    Zheng Zi said: "Liu Xiu knows that Shangxiang girl''s identity is different. She will certainly be under strict supervision. In my opinion, it''s not easy to rescue her."


    Tai Shici nodded and said, "it''s really difficult to sneak into Ancheng county to save people."


    Hu Han said, "no matter what, you have to have a try."


    After hearing this, Tai Shici was silent for a moment and said, "Hu Han is right. You have to have a try. Hu Han, as your envoy, go to Ancheng county to meet Liu Xiu and ask for the redemption of sun Shangxiang. At the same time, Zheng Zi leads people to disguise and sneak into Ancheng county to inquire about the news. You two, in the dark and in the light, try to save sun Shangxiang. "


    When you go to Ancheng County, you must have trustworthy people and outstanding abilities. Hu Han and Zheng Zi, who were under taishici''s command, were the most suitable candidates because of their adaptability and outstanding martial arts skills.


    They have to be ordered to go down and get ready immediately.


    Half an hour later, Hu Han, as a special envoy sent by taishici, took two soldiers to Ancheng county. At the same time, Zheng Zi led ten soldiers to rush to Ancheng County in disguise.


    When Hu Han arrived in Ancheng County, it was already a quarter of an hour in the afternoon.


    At the gate of the city, Hu Han came to the gate, gave his name and entered the city.


    County Hall.


    Facing Liu Xiu, Hu Han arched his hand and said, "I''ve met Liu county magistrate."


    Liu Xiu stared at Hu Han and said, "I remember you. When you were in Jiuxu mountain, you and another man besieged brother pan. At that time, both of you failed and failed to stop brother pan. "


    Hu Han looked neither humble nor overbearing, and said with a smile: "the magistrate Liu never forgets, which is admirable. At that time, I did take part in the siege of Liu Pan. It''s a pity that my martial arts are humble and hard to stop. "


    Liu Xiu brushed his sleeve and said, "tell me, what did Tai Shici send you to do?"


    Hu Han said, "magistrate Liu, I want to see sun Shangxiang and make sure she is in Ancheng county."


    "Yes Liu Xiu said, "Qiu Bao, inform Yueshan and bring sun Shangxiang."


    "No!"


    Qiu Bao should go down and turn to inform.


    After a while, sun Shangxiang came to the hall under the escort of Yueshan. When sun Shangxiang saw Hu Han, he realized that Tai Shici had learned about her capture and asked, "Hu Han, what are you doing here?"


    Hu Han said, "miss Shangxiang, general Taishi will save you. Please stay in Ancheng County for a while."


    Sun Shangxiang said: "let general Taishi not bother. I''m very good. Let him attack Ancheng county with all his strength."


    Liu Xiu shook his head with a smile and said, "Miss Sun, are you telling a joke? You are Sun Quan''s younger sister and the Pearl of Jiangdong. Dare Tai Shici not save you? People have seen it. Take it down. "


    Yue Shan nodded and left with sun Shangxiang.


    When sun Shangxiang came to the gate, he suddenly turned around and said, "tell Tai Shici not to worry about me. When it''s time to attack, it''s time to attack. "With that, sun Shangxiang left.


    Liu Xiu chuckles, sun Shangxiang said so simply, but Tai Shici is doomed not to ignore. His eyes fell on Hu Han, and he said with a smile, "people have already seen it. We can talk about business."

 Chapter 165

    The expression on Hu Han''s face became more serious, and he said, "magistrate Liu, this time I come to Ancheng County, it''s on behalf of general Taishi to redeem sun Shangxiang."


    "Redeemer?"


    Liu Xiu laughed and asked, "what conditions does Tai Shici give?"


    Hu Han said: "the magistrate of Liu County released people, and the general withdrew from Ancheng County, promising not to invade again."


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Liu Xiu couldn''t help laughing.


    The laughter gave Hu Han goose bumps. He looked at Liu Xiu''s eyes, a little more dignified. Obviously, Liu Xiu is not so easy to fool and will not agree to this condition.


    It is not easy to redeem sun Shangxiang.


    Pang Tong, with a cold face, said in a deep voice: "Hu Han, Tai Shici''s brain was kicked by a donkey. We are normal. He led his troops out of Ancheng County, and we released sun Shangxiang. Once sun Shangxiang returned to taishici''s hands, he could attack Ancheng county again. Is such a condition a condition? You are stupid. Don''t treat other people as stupid. "


    Hu Han smell speech, way: "since Liu county magistrate does not agree, please Liu county magistrate out conditions."


    Liu xiudao: "I have always been very patient. Since taishici has not given any conditions, you should go back to taishici and ask him to reconsider. When you think of the right conditions, come back to negotiate. "


    "See off!"


    When Liu Xiu waved, some soldiers came in and ordered Hu Han to leave.


    Hu Han arched his hand and said, "goodbye."


    Without any hesitation, Hu Han chose to leave.


    This time he came to the county, Hu Han had no hope. The reason why he left now was that he had to delay and leave some time for Zheng Zi to inquire about the news.


    In the hall, Pang Tong said: "Lord, Tai Shici knows that we can''t kill sun Shangxiang, and we can''t do anything with sun Shangxiang, so Tai Shici is not in a hurry."


    Liu xiudao: "he is not in a hurry. Let''s make him worry."


    Pang Tong said, "what is the Lord going to do?"


    Liu Xiu ordered: "send someone to sneak into Yuzhang county to spread the news that sun Shangxiang was arrested. At the same time, he said that the reason why Sun Shangxiang was arrested was because Tai Shici sent sun Shangxiang to you county to carry out the mission, and then he fell into the trap and was arrested. "


    Pang Tong''s eyes twinkled, praised: "the master''s plan


    Jiang Dongbing, barracks.


    After Hu Han returned to the camp, he reported: "general, Zheng Zi stayed in Ancheng County for the time being because he wanted to find out. After meeting Liu Xiu at the end of the meeting, Liu Xiu offered to withdraw from Ancheng County, and Liu Xiu refused directly. "


    Taishici said: "Liu Xiu''s refusal is expected. In this way, Zheng Zi has plenty of time. Tomorrow morning, you will visit Ancheng county again. At that time, Zheng Zi should also get some news. "


    After Hu Han stepped back, Tai Shici took out a piece of paper, ground the ink, took out the brush, dipped it in the ink and prepared to write. But I hesitated for a long time and still didn''t write.


    Sun Shangxiang was arrested. The matter can be big or small.


    Taishici quickly rescued sun Shangxiang, and then he could turn the big thing into the small one.


    If sun Shangxiang could not be saved, the consequences would be very serious.


    What Tai Shici is facing now is whether to tell Sun Quan the news. After hesitating for a long time, Taishi kindly said, "wait two days, if you can''t save sun Shangxiang, write to the Lord again."


    The next morning, Hu Han went to Ancheng county again. After


    entered Ancheng County, he avoided Liu Xiu''s eye liner and joined Zheng Zi.


    Zheng Zi looked dignified and sighed: "Lao Hu and sun Shangxiang are being held in the county government, but we can''t find out the specific information. The guards of the county government are all Liu Xiu''s soldiers. They can''t get in. It is impossible to rescue sun Shangxiang alone. "


    When Hu Han heard the news, he felt cold in his heart.


    Failure to rescue sun Shangxiang means that we have to negotiate with Liu Xiu next, and we can only solve the problem through negotiation. However, the negotiation between the two sides is not equal. Liu Xiu has the initiative and has an absolute advantage, while Jiangdong is at a disadvantage.


    After Hu Han and Zheng Zi separated, they continued to go to the county government.


    Entering the county government, Hu Han met Liu Xiu and said, "I''ve seen Liu magistrate."


    Liu xiudao: "you went back to ask Tai Shici, do you have any new conditions?"


    Hu Han seemed very calm and said: "general Taishi learned that Liu county magistrate did not agree with the previous conditions. After consideration, he drafted the conditions again. As long as county magistrate Liu releases sun Shangxiang, general Taishi will still withdraw from Ancheng county and give county magistrate Liu 30000 stone grain, millions of money, even some armor and weapons. "


    Liu Xiu chuckled and said, "You county''s grain is hundreds of thousands of stones. I don''t want this grain. As for money, you county is even more numerous, and I don''t need it. "


    Hu Han frowned and thought of the last condition that Tai Shici had given him.


    Liu Xiu didn''t want oil and salt. He had to persuade Liu Xiu.


    Hu Han asked: "I dare to ask Liu county magistrate what kind of conditions he would like to release sun Shangxiang."


    Liu Xiu leaned forward slightly, put his hands on the table, and said slowly, "let taishici withdraw from Yuzhang County, and Jingzhou will send troops to take over Yuzhang county. In this way, I promise to release sun Shangxiang. ""No way!"


    Hu Han didn''t even think about it and refused.


    Yuzhang county is a big county in Jiangdong, and it is also a strategic place. It can not be handed over to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent expression: "if Tai Shici doesn''t agree, there''s no need to talk about it. All in all, I''m not in a hurry. I''m waiting for news from Tarshis


    Hu Han gritted his teeth and said, "magistrate Liu, before he came, general Taishi gave us the last line. As long as county magistrate Liu releases sun Shangxiang, general Taishi is willing to cede Yichun County, which borders on Ancheng county. "


    Yichun county is located in the west of Yuzhang county. Although taishici agreed to cede Yichun County, as long as Liu Xiu released sun Shangxiang, taishici was bound to attack Yichun county.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed. Unexpectedly, Tai Shici was willing to cede the land.


    It''s just a county, not enough for Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu knows the value of sun Shangxiang, which is the apple of Jiangdong''s eye. Moreover, if Sun Quan ignored sun Shangxiang''s life, there would be internal strife among the sun family.


    It must be impossible to exchange a county for sun Shangxiang.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "taishici is only willing to cede Yichun county. It seems that he has not yet understood the value of sun Shangxiang. You go back to tell Tess, think it over and send someone. The next time I come, I won''t accept you without suitable conditions. "


    "Goodbye!"


    Hu Han knew there was no more to talk about, so he got up and left.


    Liu Xiu sat in the hall, thinking carefully about how to maximize the value of sun Shangxiang.


    Pang Tong said: "Lord, I think it is more valuable to leave sun Shangxiang. As long as sun Shangxiang is in his hands, we can make constant use of it, and let Tai Shici not dare to act rashly. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "no matter how valuable it is, you have to get something. However, at this stage, it is more appropriate to keep control in hand. However, the level of taishici is not enough, and the decision-making power is too small. We have heard from Sun Quan. I believe Sun Quan will make a decision soon. "


    According to the previous arrangement, Pang Tong has sent people to spread the news. The news of sun Shangxiang''s arrest will soon spread to Wu County. Once Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and others get the news, it will cause a real sensation.


    Liu Xiu can''t release sun Shangxiang now.


    As for Yuzhang County, taishici''s power was not enough, so it was impossible for him to agree to cede it. The two sides could only hold a stalemate for a while.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, Qiu Bao came in in a hurry.


    Qiu Baoquan salute, reported: "adult, Jingzhou don''t drive Yi adult to."


    "Oh, please No, I''ll meet you myself. " Liu Xiu stood up and quickly went to the gate. For Yi Ji, Liu Xiu has great respect, because Yi Ji once instructed Liu Xiu. Moreover, a good relationship with Yiji is of great benefit to Liu Xiu''s future.


    "Young master Xiu, I don''t dare to meet you personally."


    When Liu Xiu went out, Yi Ji, dressed in a black robe, stepped in. When he saw Liu Xiu coming to meet him, he also had a strong smile on his face and was very satisfied with Liu Xiu''s attitude.

 Chapter 166

    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "boy Liu Xiu, I''ve met Mr. Ji Bo." No matter what purpose Yi Ji is very friendly to him, at least his comments deserve Liu Xiu''s respect.


    Yi Ji nodded, arched his hand and said, "young master Xiu is polite."


    After sitting down, Liu xiudao said, "Mr. Ji Bo has come to Ancheng County specially. What can I do for you?"


    Yi Ji said: "I''m here for the killing of Liu Pan."


    Referring to Liu Pan, Yi Ji could not help sighing. Liu Pan is Liu Biao''s nephew, but he is not as favored as Zhang Yun. In order to avoid the intrigue of Xiangyang, he found a hard job to Changsha county to resist the attack of Jiangdong army.


    Unexpectedly, he died in Changsha County.


    Liu Xiu changed his mind and knew that his letter had been discussed.


    However, Liu Xiu didn''t mention it on his own initiative and sighed: "brother pan is a wise man, but he died in Ancheng County in the end. Alas, it''s a pity When brother pan died, he took my hand and would not forget to let me take revenge until he died. I''ll never forget that scene. "


    Liu Xiu is not sentimental about Liu Pan''s death.


    He and Liu Pan''s relationship is not very cordial, not too sad.


    Yi Ji returned to the main topic and said: "in addition to mourning Liu Pan, there is another thing about the appointment of the garrison camp in you County of Changsha County. The Lord agrees that you will be the magistrate of Youxian county and the general of Huben Zhonglang to take charge of Youxian camp. "


    "Mr. Xiu, congratulations on taking the military power one step further."


    Yi Ji''s eyes were venomous, and he saw through the advantages of Liu Xiu''s military power.


    Now Liu Xiu is in charge of you County, and even more in charge of you County camp, which means that Liu Xiu''s power is superior to Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha County. Once han Xuan angers Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu''s power is enough to overturn Han Xuan.


    Liu xiudao said: "Mr. Ji Bo has been praised falsely. Taking charge of the camp in you County means that the burden on his shoulders is heavier."


    Yi Ji''s words changed and said, "there is a dispute about whether xiugongzi is in charge of the camp of you county."


    "I''d like to hear about it."


    Liu Xiu lowered his posture and asked.


    In fact, when Yi Ji told him about the struggle in Xiangyang, Liu Xiu could have a general understanding of who was on his side and who was hostile.


    Yi Ji said slowly: "after receiving your letter, the LORD called Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Zhang Yun, Lao Fu and other important civil and military officials to discuss the selection of you County camp."


    "At that time, the Lord proposed that you take charge of the camp in you county."


    "After listening to this, Mr. Cai objected. He thought you were too young, and you already had the official posts of Yuzhang prefect, Changsha prefect and you county magistrate. It was not appropriate to hold too many concurrent posts."


    "At that time, Zhang Yun volunteered to take over Liu Pan''s rights and invited himself to work in you county."


    "After listening and considering, my Lord is relaxed."


    Yi Ji''s face, showing a smile, said: "at this time, Kuai Yue stood up against, said that xiugongzi to plan Yuzhang County, just as county magistrate, strength is not enough, and no military power in hand, will also be constrained, Kuai Yue against Zhang Yunlai You county."


    "After thinking about it, I also think that Kuai Yue''s analysis is reasonable. I suggest that young master Xiu take charge of the camp in you county."


    "After the Lord''s consideration, it''s up in the air."


    Yi Ji continued: "in the end, Lord pound knew the news and went to the Yamen to see the Lord himself. After a long talk, the prefecture finally issued an order that you take charge of the camp in you county. Xiugongzi is not in Xiangyang, but his words and deeds affect the pattern of Xiangyang. "


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "Mr. Ji Bo, thank you for your help."


    Yi Ji shook his head and said, "to thank you is to thank Mr. pound. If it wasn''t for your teacher who went to the prefecture to see the Lord in person, I''m afraid it would be Zhang Yun who came to you county."


    Liu xiudao: "the teacher''s kindness is naturally remembered in my heart. But if there is no objection from Mr. Jibo and Mr. Yidu during the discussion, the teacher will not play a role


    Yi Ji smile, eyes full of appreciation.


    It''s good to be grateful.


    Yi Ji changed his words and said, "before I came to Ancheng County, something happened in Xiangyang."


    "What''s the matter?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Yi Ji stared at Liu Xiu and said slowly, "ZHUGE Liang is out of the mountain."


    Liu Xiu asked, "are you loyal to Liu Bei?"


    Yi Ji''s eyes showed a touch of surprise. He immediately stroked his beard with a smile and praised: "young master Xiu is in you County, but he is also familiar with the situation in Xiangyang. It''s not simple."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "when I went to you County, I went to Longzhong to visit Zhuge Liang. Unfortunately, when I went to Longzhong, I didn''t even see anyone. At that time, the boy thought that Zhuge Liang was not willing to help me, and he was not willing to become an official in Jingzhou, and he was not willing to follow Zhuge Jin to Jiangdong. The only possibility is Xinye Liu Bei. "


    Referring to Liu Bei, Yi Ji said: "Liu Bei is ambitious. He has powerful generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under his command. Now he is assisted by Zhuge Liang, who is like a tiger. You should pay attention to this. "Liu Xiu said, "thank you for reminding me."


    Yi Ji asked again, "how sure is master Xiu in the battle with Tai Shici?"


    Liu Xiu said: "to be honest with Mr. Ji Bo, Jingzhou will win this battle. A few days ago, I arrested sun Shangxiang, Sun Quan''s younger sister. Now the initiative in the war is in my hands. "


    Yi Ji said curiously: "sun Shangxiang, a woman, how can you catch her?"


    Liu xiudao said: "sun Shangxiang was Sun Ren who went to Xiangyang with Lu Su at the beginning. She loved swords, guns and sticks. This time, women disguised themselves as men to take part in the war. In the end, I captured him. "


    Yi Ji put up his thumb and praised: "Mr. Xiu has sun Shangxiang in his hand. He really has the initiative. In this war, Tai Shici was passive everywhere. "


    Liu xiudao said: "Mr. Ji Bo came all the way and stayed in Ancheng County for two days. Let the boy do his best. I''ll arrange for a banquet and a drink with my husband right away. "


    Yi Ji shook his head and said, "young master Xiu, there are still important things in Xiangyang, so I won''t stay."


    Liu Xiu repeatedly urged him to stay, but Yi Ji insisted on going.


    But Liu Xiu got up to send Yi Ji away, and then returned to the county government. With the right of you County camp, Huang Zhong was naturally assigned to Liu Xiu. Whether it is military power, or a strong general, Liu Xiu has gained it.


    ¡­¡­


    Jiangdong barracks.


    After Hu Han and Zheng Zi returned, they went straight to the big account bank of the Chinese army.


    "How''s it going?" he asked


    Hu Han looked serious and shook his head: "report back to the general, Liu Xiu doesn''t agree to release Shangxiang. His offer is to let the general cede Yuzhang County, otherwise he will never agree. "


    "Too much deception!"


    Tai Shici slapped on the desk, and his anger surged up.


    Yicheng County, a county, taishici can be the master, but when it comes to Yuzhang County, taishici can not be the master. Moreover, taishici was only in charge of the war in Yuzhang county. The man who governed Yuzhang county was Sun Ben, Sun Quan''s cousin. Taishici could not make his own decisions.


    Zheng Zi''s eyebrows were agitated, and said: "the last general took people to inquire about the news near the county yamen, and found that Liu Xiu''s soldiers were on guard inside and outside the county yamen, and there were no yamen servants. The most important thing is that soldiers can''t be bribed and it''s impossible to sneak into the county government. "


    "Alas..."


    After hearing this, Tai Shici could not help sighing.


    The case of sun Shangxiang made it very difficult for him to advance or retreat.


    Hu Han suggested: "general, this is the end of the matter. Only by ceding more land can Liu Xiu release sun Shangxiang. But ceding more land is certainly not feasible. The end will think that this matter can only be reported. "


    Taishici waved his hand and said, "you go down, Ben will deal with it."


    After Hu Han and Zheng Zi retired, Tai Shici took out his pen and paper and began to write. The course of fighting with Liu Pan and Liu Xiu must be written clearly, and then the present predicament and the plea to Sun Quan.


    When he had finished, he sealed the letter.


    "Newspaper!"


    The curtain of the barracks door rolled up, Hu Han came in in a hurry and reported: "general, the news that sun Shangxiang was arrested has spread. All the soldiers in the army know the news. "


    Tai Shici eyebrows pick, did not expect Liu Xiu''s action so fast, he ordered: "the spread of the news do not care, this is a letter to the Lord, you immediately send someone back to Wuxian."


    "No!"


    Hu Han was ordered to take the letter and then turned to quit.


    Taishici sat in the tent and murmured, "Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, you really don''t let people worry. As soon as the negotiation broke down, someone was sent to spread the news. Is it to make the Lord punish me? "


    In the eyes of Tai Shici, there was a cold intention to kill. This time with Liu Xiu confrontation, he was everywhere suppressed, Tai Shici''s heart has already been silted up a stomach of anger.

 Chapter 167

    Wu County, prefect''s residence.


    In the study, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and Lu Su are discussing the matter.


    Sun Quan is twenty-five years old. He is not old, but he is calm and calm. His eyes are deep and he doesn''t have the slightest childishness. He glanced at Zhou Yu and Lu Su and said in a deep voice: "before the truce with Liu Biao, Jiang Xia''s guard was relaxed a lot. After months of adjustment, our navy has also recovered. I''m going to attack Jiangxia. "


    Sun Quan has an unforgettable hatred for Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia.


    If he doesn''t kill Huang Zu, he can''t be at ease.


    Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Lord, it is imperative to seek Jiangxia. To capture Jingzhou, we must first capture Jiangxia. But now it''s winter. It''s freezing. It''s not good for the navy to send troops in winter. It''s better to send troops to attack Jiangxia after the spring of next year. "


    Lu Su, with a look of approval, said: "if you have more time, the Lord can arrange more people to sneak into Jiangxia. As long as you can attract people to be your insiders, everything will be easy."


    Sun Quan saw that the two confidants reached a consensus, but he didn''t oppose it. He nodded and said, "Gongjin and Zijing think so. Then we will attack Jiangxia in the spring of next year."


    After sun CE''s death, since Sun Quan came to power, he has attacked Jiang Xia several times.


    In every battle, the troops dispatched are very elite. But Jiangxia''s water army was elite, and huangzu was good at fighting, so that Sun Quan failed every time.


    So far, it has not been able to capture Jiangxia and kill huangzu.


    Sun Quan changed his words and said, "recently, there have been a lot of news about Liu Xiu. What do you think?"


    Zhou Yu said, "Liu Xiu is in charge of Youxian county. He is not afraid. He is Liu Biao''s son. He was released as an official. At least he is the prefect of a county. Now he is the magistrate of a county. It can be said that he is trapped in the Dragon shoal. Although Liu Xiu has the ability, when he comes to you County, he may not be able to do anything. The smaller the place, the more he can''t let go. "


    Lu Su met Liu Xiu and praised his ability. He said, "I think that when Liu Xiu goes to you County, there will be more variables. In Xiangyang, although Liu Xiu had outstanding talent, he was pressed by Liu Biao, Liu Qi and Liu Cong, so Liu Xiu could not do anything and could not get any rights. He went to you County, but fish went to the sea. "


    Speaking of this, Lu Su took a look at Zhou Yu and said, "but brother Gongjin''s analysis has a certain truth. You County, a small county, has a complicated relationship and is intertwined. It''s a pool of mud. If you enter you County, you will fall into it if you don''t pay attention to it."


    Lu Su changed the subject and said, "but if Liu Xiu does well, the situation will be different. Once Liu Xiu''s achievements are outstanding, you county may be the place where Liu Xiu rises. "


    Sun Quan nodded and said, "pay close attention to Liu Xiu''s actions and don''t despise them."


    "Dong! Dong


    Knock on the door, outside the study.


    Immediately, a loud voice rang out: "Lord, humble Zhang Zhao asked to see you."


    Sun Quan nodded, Lu Su quickly got up and opened the door.


    Zhang Zhao saw Lu Su, nodded his thanks and came in. Zhang Zhaonian is over 50 years old. He has a resolute face, erect sword eyebrows, thin lips, a beautiful beard under his jaw, and a strong posture, which gives people a very strong feeling.


    Standing in the study, Zhang Zhao bowed and said, "Lord!"


    Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, sit down!"


    After Zhang Zhao fell, a trace of dignity appeared on his resolute cheek. He reported: "my Lord, I just got a piece of news from you county. Shangxiang was arrested by Liu Xiu."


    Sun Quan''s face turned black when he heard the speech.


    Zhou Yu and Lu Su looked at each other with a look of horror in their eyes. Sun Shangxiang was arrested. This was a big event.


    Sun Quan said, "Mr. Zhang, is the news true?"


    Zhang Zhao shook his head gently and said, "there is no official confirmation of the specific news. Now, there are rumors all over Wu county that taishici sent Shangxiang to attack you County, which led to Shangxiang being arrested. Lord, Tai Shici presides over the war in Yuzhang county. No matter what the final news is, Shang Xiang must be held responsible. "


    Sun Quan frowned and his mood fell to the bottom.


    However, taishici has not yet sent back the news, nor has sun Ben, the prefect of Yuzhang Prefecture.


    "Dong! Dong


    Knock on the door, once again outside the study.


    Immediately, the voice of the attendant sounded: "my Lord, there is an urgent letter in Yuzhang county."


    Lu Su eyebrows pick, know the news, quickly get up to open the door, the letter to the hands of Sun Quan.


    Sun Quan opened the envelope and quickly scanned one side. After watching it, he looked more solemn and said: "the news outside is half true and half false. The real news is that Shangxiang has been arrested. The false news is that Shangxiang is fighting to attack you county this time. And it''s not hard work to attack you County, but I didn''t expect to fall into the trap of Liu Xiu. "


    Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and Lu Su read Tai Shici''s letters one after another.


    Three people''s facial expression, dignified incomparable.


    Zhang Zhao said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu really dares to open his mouth and let the Lord take Yuzhang County in exchange. Every inch of our land in the east of the Yangtze River was fought down by our soldiers and soldiers. It is impossible to cede it to Liu Xiu. "Zhou Yu said: "Yuzhang county can not be ceded to Liu Xiu, but Shangxiang must be rescued."


    Lu Su said: "we can negotiate with Liu Xiu to save Shangxiang as soon as possible."


    Sun Quan narrowed his eyes, feeling extremely depressed. The situation in Yuzhang county is very good. Unexpectedly, sun Shangxiang was caught suddenly, leading to a mess.


    The joy of Liu Pan''s being shot was also completely dissipated.


    In Sun Quan''s heart, he felt extremely agitated.


    After a long silence, Sun Quan''s eyes swept over Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Zhang Zhao and said slowly, "Duke Zhang, Gong Jin and Zi Jing, Yuzhang county can''t be ceded to Jingzhou, and my younger sister must be rescued. What''s your plan?"


    Three people smell speech, all silent down.


    If the earth is not cut, people will be saved.


    I''m afraid it''s not easy.


    The study was quiet, and the atmosphere became heavy.


    Sun Quan looked around at the three, saw that they did not speak, and sighed, "even you can''t think of a solution. It''s really difficult." In Sun Quan''s mind, he prepared for the worst and could not cede Yuzhang county because of sun Shangxiang.


    Zhou Yu turned his mind and said, "my Lord, I have a plan. Maybe it will work."


    Sun Quan was overjoyed and said, "what''s the plan?"


    Zhou Yu said: "the marriage between Jiangdong and Jingzhou is aimed at Liu Xiu. In this way, Shang Xiang will soon become Liu Xiu''s wife, and Liu Xiu''s chips will be useless. "


    "No, no, how can Jiangdong and Jingzhou get married?"


    After hearing this, Zhang Zhao directly denied it.


    Lu Su also felt that some children''s play, said: "Gongjin, is related to Shangxiang''s life events, I''m afraid we have to think twice before we act."


    Sun Quan did not open his mouth, but fell into deep meditation.


    Zhou Yu''s mind turned quickly and continued: "I didn''t say that Shangxiang must marry Liu Xiu. My Lord only needs to send one person to Xiangyang to see Liu Biao and explain his intention of marrying Liu Biao. Even if Liu Biao knows that Shang Xiang has been arrested, he will agree to the marriage between Jiang Dong and him. "


    After a pause, Zhou Yu said, "after the marriage was confirmed, the Lord asked Liu Xiu to release Shang Xiang on the grounds of preparing for marriage. Once Shangxiang returns to Jiangdong, the Lord can tear up the marriage unilaterally. Anyway, Jiangdong is not afraid of Jingzhou. Even if Liu Biao gets angry, it doesn''t matter. Liu Jiangdong can take this opportunity to attack and attack the watch


    Zhang Zhao said, "if you really do this, how can Shangxiang be a man?"


    Zhou Yu''s eyes twinkled and said, "Shangxiang is the father''s sister. She has a noble status. There are many men who want to marry Shangxiang. It doesn''t matter. Most importantly, there is no way to rescue Shangxiang. "


    Lu Su took a look at Sun Quan and sighed.


    As a person who knows Sun Quan best, Lu Su knows that Sun Quan is moved. Without Zhou Yu''s stratagem, Sun Quan would probably give up sun Shangxiang. The present result, at least, can save sun Shangxiang. This is a good result.


    With a smile on his face, Zhou Yu continued: "in fact, Shangxiang can also be married to Liu Xiu. Once the marriage is confirmed, let Liu Xiu come to Jiangdong to marry Shang Xiang, and then detain Liu Xiu forcibly. When the time comes, Shang Xiang and Liu Xiu get married, and you County, which lost Liu Xiu, has no leader, so you can let Tai Shici invade Changsha County and invade the city. "


    Zhang Zhaojin said: "this is too spicy, whether it''s a strategy."


    Zhou Yu said, "Mr. Zhang, is there any other way to save Shangxiang?"


    Zhang Zhao sighed and shook his head. "No," he said


    Zhou Yu said: "since there is no plan, there is no choice. The marriage with Jingzhou can not only save Shangxiang, but also deceive Liu Xiu to come to Jiangdong. It can also take advantage of the situation to invade Changsha County. There are so many things to do. Why not? "


    Sun Quan had a strong smile in his eyes and nodded: "Gongjin''s strategy is feasible. This strategy can not only save Xiaomei, but also attack Changsha County. And Liu Xiu''s literary talent and martial arts are outstanding. He is also a good match for his younger sister. "


    On hearing this, Zhang Zhao knew that there was no room for change.


    Sun Quan turned his eyes, fell on Lu Su and said, "Zijing, you are the envoy in this marriage. If you are ready, go to Xiangyang immediately to meet Liu Biao and propose the marriage of Jiangdong and Jingzhou. "


    "No!"


    Lu Su nodded and sighed.


    Sun Quan then said, "Gongjin, send an order to taishici to stop all actions for the time being. I don''t care about my little sister''s business for the time being. I''ll wait for the news from Jingzhou. "


    "No!"


    Zhou Yu''s face showed a smile.

 Chapter 168

    Sun Shangxiang was imprisoned in his room, where he ate, dressed and lived. For several days, he didn''t even go out the door of the room once. After she was imprisoned, she has been looking for the chance to escape, but the mountain guarding her is extremely rigid, not accommodating at all.


    If you meet people who are more flexible, maybe sun Shangxiang has a chance. But Yueshan is rigid and meticulously carries out Liu Xiu''s orders. On the contrary, sun Shangxiang is extremely embarrassed.


    "Yueshan, Yueshan!"


    Sun Shangxiang sat in the room, shouting.


    Yueshan stood at the door and said, "Miss Sun, what can I do for you?"


    Sun Shangxiang turned his eyes and said in a loud voice, "I want to practice my sword. Prepare a sword for me."


    Yue Shan''s voice, as always, did not have a trace of emotion, and said, "Miss sun wants to be a female worker. I can be ready. But if you want to practice sword, you can''t In a word, sun Shangxiang''s anger soared.


    "I want to see Liu Xiu. You ask him to see me."


    Sun Shangxiang changed his mind and immediately changed the topic.


    "What can I do for you, Miss Sun?" asked Yue Shan


    Sun Shangxiang was furious and roared, "do I have to tell you? You''re a dog, you don''t have the right to know. Go to invite Liu Xiu immediately. If he doesn''t come, I''ll hang myself. Without me, let''s see how he threatens Tess. "


    Yue Shan was silent for a moment and said, "Miss Sun, wait a moment. I''ll go right away."


    Sun Shangxiang''s eyes narrowed into a line, the corners of his mouth rose, two dimples, with a successful smile. She has no chance to escape. The only way is from Liu Xiu.


    Only by taking Liu Xiu can we escape from Ancheng county.


    Sun Shangxiang waited quietly for a short time. A sound of walking came from outside the yard. After hearing this, sun Shangxiang arranged his clothes and waited in the room.


    After a while, with a click, the lock outside the door was opened.


    Creak!


    The door opened, Liu Xiu strode in, and Yue Shan followed.


    Sun Shangxiang took a look at Yueshan and waved, "young master Xiu, let Yueshan retreat. He''s standing here and killing the scenery. When I see him, I''m in a bad mood."


    Liu Xiu waved to Yueshan to retreat.


    Yue Shan glared at sun Shangxiang, then turned back.


    After Liu Xiu sat down, he looked at sun Shangxiang and said, "Miss Sun, what can I do for you


    Sun Shangxiang said: "I''ve been locked up in the room all day, and no one talks. It''s very difficult. I want to talk to you about swordsmanship. "


    Liu Xiu said, "I''d like to hear it in detail."


    Sun Shangxiang looked like a curious baby and asked, "master Xiu has held me for such a long time. When are you going to let me go?"


    Liu xiudao: "I can let you go at any time. The key is how to do it."


    Sun Shangxiang then said, "can you let me go first?"


    "No!"


    Liu Xiu shook his head. This girl''s idea is really naive.


    Sun Shangxiang is a chip in Liu Xiu''s hand. As long as sun Shangxiang is in his hand, Tai Shici will not dare to act rashly. On the contrary, Liu Xiu was able to make arrangements for the attack on Yuzhang county. Liu Xiu won''t let people go until he gets enough chips or Yuzhang county.


    Sun Shangxiang''s heart is half cold. It''s impossible for Liu Xiufang to let people go. As soon as the words changed, sun Shangxiang asked: "xiugongzi is a master of swordsmanship. Every move has entered the hall. I don''t know when xiugongzi began to practice swordsmanship?


    Liu Xiu said: "it has been more than ten years since I was a child to practice sword."


    Sun Shangxiang''s face looked adored, and he said: "master Xiu has excellent swordsmanship. Can you give me some advice? The little girl is not good at drinking. She can only use tea instead of wine to thank xiugongzi. I''ll pour tea for xiugongzi. "


    With these words, sun Shangxiang actively picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea. She took the cup and went to Liu Xiu. When he came to Liu Xiu''s body, sun Shangxiang handed the tea up and said, "master Xiu, please."


    After Liu Xiu took it, he put it aside and said, "Miss Sun, you don''t have to be so polite."


    Sun Wei put the medicine in the tea and said, "don''t you worry about it? I''ve been locked up in a room where there''s medicine. Moreover, the tea in the room was also sent by the servant. If you don''t believe me, I''ll have a drink first. "


    When he picked up the tea, sun Shangxiang looked up and drank it.


    Such a move, on the contrary, made Liu Xiu quite embarrassed. In fact, Liu Xiu didn''t drink tea. He was really worried about sun Shangxiang''s conspiracy. After all, he was careful to sail for thousands of years.


    When he came back to the tea table, he asked him to take a cup of tea again


    Liu Xiu refused this cup of tea.


    Liu Xiu stares at sun Shangxiang, his eyes narrowed, and suddenly a smile rises from the corner of his mouth. He took the cup, picked it up and slowly sent it to his mouth.


    Sun Shangxiang was overjoyed.Seeing that the cup was about to approach his mouth, sun Shangxiang clawed at Liu Xiu''s throat with his right hand. One move out, will lock Liu Xiu''s throat, control Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were quick, his hand holding the tea bowl suddenly turned down.


    It''s very fast.


    "Pa!"


    The tea bowl was on sun Shangxiang''s wrist, and the tea splashed around, wetting sun Shangxiang''s hands and clothes.


    Sun Shangxiang''s intention to lock his throat failed in an instant.


    "Liu Xiu, watch the move."


    Sun Shangxiang failed in one move and hit Liu Xiu''s face with his left hand. She has been learning martial arts since she was a child. Her strength is very strong, and her boxing style is extremely fierce. Sun Shangxiang couldn''t beat Liu Xiu in swordsmanship, so he could only fight in boxing.


    Liu Xiu''s right hand flashed out, and his big hand turned into a palm to meet the blow.


    "Bang!"


    When his fists collided with his palms, Liu Xiu closed his big hands and seized sun Shangxiang''s fists. Immediately, Liu Xiu''s hand suddenly started to work. As soon as he pulled, sun Shangxiang lost his center of gravity and fell forward.


    Plop, fall in Liu Xiu''s arms.


    Sun Shangxiang still did not give up. He swung his right hand and hit Liu Xiu''s head.


    Liu Xiu sticks out his left hand and grabs sun Shangxiang''s right wrist to suppress him. Even when sun Shangxiang was lying in Liu Xiu''s arms, it was impossible for him to move.


    "Let me go, let me go."


    Sun Shangxiang eyes anger rise, did not expect her sudden attack, or Liu Xiu saw through.


    Liu Xiu said: "I knew you didn''t have a good heart, so it is."


    "What happened, my lord? Here I am... "


    When Yue Shan heard the fighting, he rushed in. But when he saw Liu Xiu''s and sun Shangxiang''s posture, he was immediately dumbfounded. His face showed a thoughtful look. He waved his hand and said, "my Lord, you go on, you go on, I''ll go out now."


    Without waiting for Liu Xiu to reply, Yue Shan turned to withdraw and closed the door.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes are silly. Where is it?


    It seems that Yueshan misunderstood him as using sun Shangxiang.


    Liu Xiu released his hands and then pushed them. Sun Shangxiang stumbled back and sat down on the ground. Liu Xiu got up, looked down at sun Shangxiang, said: "Miss Sun, put away your careful thinking, you can''t escape without my order."


    With that, Liu Xiu no longer looked at sun Shangxiang, opened the door and went out.


    Sun Shangxiang looked at Liu Xiu''s back and murmured, "Liu Xiu, I''m not finished with you." She rubbed her painful wrist, which was pinched by Liu Xiu just now.


    When Liu Xiu came out of the house, he just got to the gate of the yard and Yueshan came up.


    It seems that he was surprised that Liu Xiu came out so soon. Yue Shan patted his chest and said, "my Lord, why did you come out so soon? I''ll give you a guard now. You can rest assured."


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu''s face turned black.


    He snorted, slapped Yueshan on the shoulder, waved and said, "guard Sun Shangxiang, don''t let her escape. If the person is gone, ask you


    Then Liu Xiu left.


    Yue Shan shook his head and sighed. He guessed in his heart that sun Shangxiang had vowed to die?

 Chapter 169

    Lu Su started from Wu County and soon arrived in Jiangxia. After holding Lu Su, Huang Zu inquired about the purpose of Lu Su''s coming. When he learned that Lu Su was going to Xiangyang to meet Liu Biao, he immediately sent someone back to Xiangyang to report the news, and then let Lu Su and his party enter Jingzhou.


    After Lu Su arrived in Xiangyang, he had a rest all night. This remark broke a little bit, and Lu Su''s eyes showed a dignified look.


    However, Lu Su didn''t agree with him and said: "it''s a big fallacy of CAI Junshi. The Lord has been in charge of Jiangdong for many years, and there is a clear distinction between public and private. It''s impossible for sun Shangxiang to influence the overall situation of Jiangdong. There is no doubt about this. On Liu Jingzhou, he can not ignore the overall situation of Jingzhou because of his personal feelings. Therefore, it is totally untenable to say that married women can eliminate the influence. "


    Cai Mao snorted: "sophistry!"


    Lu Su looked at Liu Biao and said, "whether Liu Jingzhou is willing to get married or not depends on Liu Jingzhou''s decision. If Liu Jingzhou doesn''t want to go back to Wu County, I will tell him the news. "


    Liu Biao was lost in thought, but no one spoke against him.


    After a long time, Liu Biao said, "I have agreed to sun Taishou''s request."


    Lu Su''s face showed a light look, and said: "in that case, please give an order as soon as possible to master Xiu to release sun Shangxiang back to Jiangdong. At the same time, please Liu Jingzhou choose a good day, and then send someone to Jiangdong to discuss. After the two sides have decided on the final date, Liu Jingzhou is invited to send envoys and young master Xiu to Jiangdong in person to greet the bride. "


    When Kuai Yue heard the speech, his face changed and he said, "Lord, since you want to get married, why not be in Ancheng county? Or you County, or Xiangyang? It''s not appropriate for young master Xiu to go to Jiangdong to meet his bride. "


    Yi Ji said: "Lord, I think it''s unreasonable to release people first and then greet them."


    Lu Su was nervous. It would be a mistake to get married in Xiangyang. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "it''s about the alliance between the two families, and it''s also about the marriage between xiugongzi and Shangxiang. I think it''s reasonable to let my younger sister return to Jiangdong first, and then let Mr. Xiu go to meet her. Liu Jingzhou is worried about Jiang Dong''s going back on his promise of marriage. "


    Liu Biao listened and nodded.


    Cai Mao just stopped him, but now he had expectations. He took the initiative to persuade him and said, "my Lord, I think I should go to Jiangdong to meet you. This is not only the marriage of master Xiu, but also the face of the master. If you don''t go there in person, I''m afraid it will be a mouthful. "


    Kuai Yue and Yi Ji were very dignified when they heard the speech.


    Liu Biao said, "I have adopted Lu Xiaowei''s suggestion. I''ll fix the time as soon as possible, and then send someone to Jiangdong to agree on the time to meet the bride, and then send envoys and Xiuer to meet the bride. "


    Lu Su said with a smile: "Liu Jingzhou is wise. In that case, I will go back to tell my Lord and wait for the good news from Liu Jingzhou."


    After that, Lu Su left.


    ¡­¡­


    The news of the marriage of Jingzhou and Jiangdong soon spread, and Huang Chengyan got the news at the first time. When he got the news, he was furious.


    Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying have been in love for a long time, and the situation becomes more complicated.


    Sun Shangxiang is Sun Quan''s sister. When she comes, what about Huang Yueying?


    Huang Chengyan went up to lumen mountain and found Pang Degong. He said in a bad tone: "Mr. de, Jiangdong has proposed marriage. Liu Biao has agreed. Liu Xiu is going to marry sun Shangxiang. What do you say about this? "


    Pang said, "Chengyan, I know you are anxious. But can''t you see Jiangdong''s intention? They let Xiuer go to Jiangdong to meet their bride. It''s a hidden evil. It''s impossible for them to simply marry their daughter. "


    Huang Chengyan waved his hand and said, "I can''t control whether there is any evil intention. I only know that Yueying is very sad. "


    When it comes to Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying, Pang Degong also finds it difficult. After thinking for a moment, Pang said, "it''s about Xiuer and Yueying. It''s no use for us two old friends to worry. Let''s take Yingnan to Ancheng county last month to ask Xiuer for advice. In this matter, he is the party concerned. It depends on his decision. "


    Pound can only delay time, with Huang Chengyan south, the matter to Liu Xiu.


    Huang Chengyan nodded and said, "OK, we''ll go south immediately. You pack up immediately, and I''ll wait for you at the foot of the mountain. " After that, Huang Chengyan went down the mountain in a hurry.


    An hour later, a carriage set out from lumen mountain, left Xiangyang and headed south.

 Chapter 170

    With sun Shangxiang in hand, taishici did not dare to act rashly, so Liu Xiu had plenty of time to accumulate strength and plan. In the past few days, the number of troops has increased to over 10000. The most important thing is that these soldiers are not recruits, but elite soldiers trained by Liu Pan and Huang Zhong.


    Barracks, big accounts.


    Liu Xiu, Huang Zhong and Pang Tong stood in front of the map of Yuzhang county to discuss the next step.


    Outside the tent, Qiu Bao said, "my Lord, there is an urgent letter in Xiangyang."


    "Bring people in."


    Liu xiuphen asked to go on, but he wondered what happened in Xiangyang?


    Soon the messenger entered the camp and handed in the letter.


    Liu Xiu took it apart and looked at it quickly. His face was cold and his eyes were cold. Seeing this, Pang Tong knew that something must have happened, otherwise Liu Xiu would not have done so. He quickly asked, "Lord, what happened?"


    Huang Zhong''s heart is hanging in the air. On weekdays, he seldom sees Liu Xiu angry. He seldom sees Liu Xiu''s expression like this.


    Liu Xiushen took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then slowly said: "Jiangdong proposes to marry Jingzhou and let me marry sun Shangxiang. According to the agreement of both parties, I will release sun Shangxiang now, and then go to Jiangdong to welcome him after the wedding date is set. "


    Pang Tong and Huang Zhong''s faces changed at the same time.


    It''s so sudden!


    This decision came so suddenly that it caught three people off guard.


    Liu Xiu looked at the soldiers who had always been sending letters and said, "I know. Let''s go down." After sending the messenger, Liu xiudao said, "Shi Yuan and Han Sheng, what do you think of the marriage?"


    Pang Tong said: "I''m afraid the purpose of Jiangdong is not only marriage, but also deep-seated reasons."


    Huang Zhong''s eyes were solemn and said: "the most superficial purpose is very easy to come out. When Jiangdong and Jingzhou are married, the Lord must release sun Shangxiang. Without sun Shangxiang, the Lord lost the hostage who threatened Tai Shici. Without any hindrance, taishici may attack Ancheng county again. "


    Pang Tong said: "taishici''s attack on Ancheng County, or other counties, is the simplest purpose, which affects the layout of the Lord at most. The greatest danger comes from the Lord''s personal visit to Jiangdong. Jiangdong is Sun Quan''s territory. Once he goes to Jiangdong, he can''t help but become the fish on Sun Quan''s chopping board. However, the marriage of Jingzhou and Jiangdong, Sun Quan can not have no scruples, it is impossible to openly murder the Lord. But it''s easy to hide a clear spear, but it''s hard to defend a hidden arrow! "


    Huang Zhong sighed: "I don''t understand how the governor of zhoumu thought about it. He even agreed to marry Jiangdong. Jiangdong proposed marriage, and made it clear that there was a conspiracy. Unfortunately, the layout of Yuzhang county is in disorder. "


    Liu xiudao said: "Jiangdong proposed marriage. His father has agreed to it. It is impossible to change it. So the focus now is on people? In other words, let Sun Shangxiang return to Jiangdong. "


    Although sun Shangxiang looks good, he has blocked Liu Xiu''s way and Liu Xiu has already killed him.


    Kill sun Shangxiang, all problems can be solved.


    Hearing this, Huang Zhong understood Liu Xiu''s intention and said, "don''t be impulsive, my Lord. It''s useless to kill people. In particular, killing sun Shangxiang will make Liu Jingzhou lose face. Once Sun Quan is held accountable, the governor of Zhou Mu may punish you. "


    Pang Tong also advised: "if Liu Jingzhou agreed to the marriage, there would be no turning back. Killing sun Shangxiang will only make the situation more complicated. It''s certain to release people, and it''s certain to go to Jiangdong. Now the key point is that the Lord will go to Jiangdong to meet his bride. This link must be carefully arranged. "


    Liu Xiu said, "you have considered external factors, but not internal ones."


    "Internal trouble?"


    Huang Zhong stroked his beard under his jaw with a deep feeling of incomprehension.


    The result of the marriage between Jingzhou and Jiangdong is that Liu Xiu''s going to Jiangdong is a threat to Liu Xiu. But it''s a threat, but actually it''s not very dangerous. To some extent, the successful marriage with sun Shangxiang is also beneficial to Liu Xiu.


    Pang Tong suddenly said, "is that Yueying


    Liu Xiu gave a bitter smile and nodded.


    Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying have long been in love, and they are recognized by Huang Chengyan.


    At the beginning, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying were assassinated in lumen mountain. Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan discussed going to zhoumu prefecture to find Liu Biao to get engaged, and took the opportunity to beat the Cai family and Liu Cong. Because Liu Xiu felt that it was not appropriate to get engaged with the assassination, and Liu Xiu wanted to marry Huang Yueying, so he delayed the engagement. Now the situation has become more complicated.


    What does Huang Chengyan think?


    What would Huang Yueying think?


    This is Liu Xiu''s most tangled problem.


    Liu Xiu rubbed his cheek and said, "the news has spread to Ancheng County, which means that the news has already spread in Xiangyang. Mr. Chengyan and Yueying don''t know what their reaction is after they know. "


    Pang Tong said, "my Lord, my advice is to marry both of them."


    "Who is bigger and who is smaller?"


    Liu Xiu didn''t even think about it. He spoke directly.In this era, three wives and four concubines are normal. The most important thing is that Huang Yueying is Huang Chengyan''s only daughter. The Huang family is not a small family, but a Xiangyang family. It is the apple of the eye of the Huang family. It is impossible to be small. Sun Shangxiang is the Pearl of Jiangdong and the younger sister of Sun Quan, the overlord of Jiangdong. He can''t be a little girl.


    Pang Tong laughed and said, "maybe we can marry two people at the same time."


    Liu xiudao: "you think very beautiful."


    Pang Tong said: "my Lord and Yueying are in love. I can''t even see if I don''t marry Yueying. But the marriage between Jiangdong and Jingzhou has been settled, and it is impossible to go back on it. There''s only one choice. You have to marry them all. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "it''s not so easy to operate." Thinking of Huang Yueying and Huang Chengyan, Liu Xiu feels that his head is big. Suddenly, Liu Xiu said, "maybe we can start with sun Shangxiang and let her spoil this marriage."


    Pang Tong said, "Lord, it''s impossible. Will Sun Quan''s decision change? Sun Shangxiang is powerless to change this situation. This consideration is impossible. "


    " if you can, you have to try again. " Liu Xiu stood up and said, "Shiyuan and Hansheng, you should discuss the next strategy for Yuzhang county. The original layout should be changed and reconsidered. I''ll go to sun Shangxiang. "


    "No!"


    Pang Tong and Huang Zhong were ordered to look at each other and shake their heads.


    It''s almost impossible to repent of marriage.


    Liu Xiu left his study and came to the room where sun Shangxiang lived. When sun Shangxiang saw Liu Xiu, he was surprised and said, "Liu Xiu, what do you want me to do? Do you want to let me go?" Being held in a room, sun Shangxiang is almost sick.


    After Liu Xiu sat down, he shook his head and said, "this time I''m here to discuss something with you."


    "What''s the matter?" Sun Shangxiang asked.


    Liu Xiu said, "I just received a letter from Xiangyang. Sun Quan proposed to marry Jingzhou and ask you to marry me. According to the agreement between the two sides, I will release you, let you return to Jiangdong, and then go to Jiangdong to welcome you. But I can''t marry you because I have a place in my heart. "


    Brush!


    After hearing this, sun Shangxiang''s face collapsed.


    Get married!


    So, what''s going on?


    Sun Shangxiang''s eyes showed an unbelievable look and murmured: "impossible, how can it be? How can my second brother marry me to you? It''s absolutely impossible. "


    Liu Xiu said: "Lu Su personally went to Xiangyang to propose marriage. The marriage has been settled."


    Sun Shangxiang heard the speech and kept silent. Looking at Liu Xiu, sun Shangxiang pursed his lips and said, "don''t worry. When I get back to Jiangdong, I''ll find my mother and second brother and refuse to marry. At that time, you will come to Jiangdong to welcome me, and I will escape. So you don''t have to be embarrassed. "


    Liu Xiu was stunned and surprised.


    So easy to talk?


    Is this still the hostile sun Shangxiang?


    Sun Shangxiang waved his hand and said, "if there''s nothing wrong, you can go. I''m tired. I need to rest."


    "Thank you very much."


    Liu Xiu got up and left the room. To be honest, Liu Xiu was also ashamed. This is not the right way to treat sun Shangxiang. However, Liu Xiu is just an ordinary person. He can only consider the position of him and Huang Yueying and not let Huang Yueying be aggrieved. Sun Shangxiang has nothing to do with him. He can''t think about his feelings.


    That''s the only way!


    Sun Shangxiang sat in the room, but his eyes were full of tears.


    She was not stupid, on the contrary, she was very smart. After a little thought, she understood that the purpose of the marriage was to eliminate the influence she had brought to Yuzhang County as a hostage.


    Everything starts because of her, so let her solve it.

 Chapter 171

    A carriage stops outside the County Office of Ancheng county.


    As the curtain of the carriage rolled up, Huang Chengyan, wearing a sky blue robe, stepped down and stared at the gate of the county government with sharp eyes and a trace of anger. Pound, dressed in a black robe, walked down, but he was worried. Then Huang Yueying came down from the carriage.


    Three people came from Xiangyang, all the way did not rest, are quite tired.


    Huang Chengyan said, "go and see Liu Xiu."


    Huang Chengyan''s anger about his marriage with Jiangdong has already been choked in his heart. He wants to question Liu Xiu face to face about how to solve the marriage. His daughter, not everyone can bully, Liu Xiu must give a statement.


    Entering the county government, I happened to meet Qiu Bao.


    Seeing Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and Huang Yueying, Qiu Bao looked very happy. He quickly welcomed them and said, "Huang Gong, panggong and Yueying, how did you come to Ancheng county?"


    Huang Chengyan snorted and said, "take me to see Liu Xiu."


    "Yes


    Qiu Bao nodded and took the three people to the county yamen.


    Qiu Bao looks at his words and finds that Huang Chengyan''s face is not very good. After thinking about it in his heart, he suddenly understands that it''s the engagement. When he got to the hall, Qiu Bao said, "Mr. Huang and Mr. Pang, wait a moment. I''ll go to the study and inform you that he is dealing with military affairs." Then Qiu Bao left in a hurry.


    When he came to the study, Qiu Bao said, "my Lord, Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and Yueying are here."


    "Ah


    Liu Xiu exclaimed. He didn''t expect to come so soon. As soon as we received the news from Xiangyang, Huang Chengyan came. Liu Xiu was surprised and asked, "where are the people?"


    "Qiu Bao is waiting in the hall," he replied


    Liu Xiu said, "go and bring Pang Tong to the hall. I''ll see them now."


    Liu Xiu is a little hard to deal with Huang Chengyan''s anger alone. It might be better to have Pang Tong to help him. Out of the study, Liu Xiu entered the hall, saw the three men, and said: "teacher, Mr. Chengyan, how did you come?"


    Huang Chengyan black face, language with a thorn way: "if I don''t come again, I''m afraid you will soon be Jiangdong''s son-in-law, to go to Jiangdong to marry Jiangdong''s pearl."


    "Dad, don''t do that."


    The expression on Huang Yueying''s face is not very good, but he doesn''t want to have a conflict with Liu Xiu.


    Huang Chengyan said: "shut up, dad has his own discretion."


    After hearing this, Huang Yueying stopped talking.


    Pang Degong looked at Liu Xiu with a look of self-interest. Huang Chengyan is angry, how to persuade is useless. He helps Liu Xiu speak, and the situation may be worse.


    After Liu Xiu took his seat, he said, "Mr. Chengyan, I have already dealt with the marriage with Jiangdong."


    Huang Chengyan said, "how did you deal with it?"


    Liu xiudao: "sun Shangxiang is still in my hands. I have told her that it is impossible to marry her. So, I reached a consensus with her that when I went to Jiangdong to meet her, she would repent and run away, and would not marry me. The most important thing is that she has a lot of opinions on me and is not willing to marry me, so she just hit it off. "


    "Really?"


    Huang Chengyan seems to believe it, but he still doesn''t believe it.


    Liu Xiu said, "if Mr. Chengyan doesn''t believe it, I''ll call sun Shangxiang to confront him."


    Huang Chengyan laughed and said, "I believe you." His angry words come and go quickly. In particular, Liu Xiu said that the problem had been solved, and his mind was much steadfast.


    However, Liu Xiu''s heart is a sigh. Now, we can only take one step at a time. When we get to Jiangdong, Liu Xiu can''t tell what will happen.


    Pang Tong came in and saluted: "uncle, Mr. Chengyan, Pang Tong is polite."


    Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan nodded slightly, and Pang Tong sat down.


    Huang Chengyan ignored Pang Tong and said, "Xiuer, go to Jiangdong to meet you. Once sun Shangxiang repents of marriage, it''s equivalent to tearing the skin between Jiangdong and Jingzhou. If you are in Jiangdong, I''m afraid you will be in danger. " Just now, Huang Chengyan was also worried about Liu Xiu''s safety.


    Liu Xiu said: "there is no way to do this. To solve the problem of marriage, we can only do this. If I repent unilaterally, I can''t afford the consequences and can only take certain risks. "


    Pound''s face, showing a trace of satisfaction, to solve the matter is the best result.


    Pang Tong was originally trying to make ends meet, but in the end, there was no conflict. After a chat, Huang Chengyan was satisfied, and pound''s big stone in his heart fell to the ground.


    After lunch, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan went back to their rooms for lunch break.


    Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying sat in the yard, complaining about the pain of Acacia.


    Huang Yueying said: "third brother, this marriage is very passive."


    Liu Xiu sighed: "the marriage proposed by Jiangdong made sun Shangxiang lose his value. Not only that, but also I will go to Jiangdong to welcome my family. The other side''s strategy is really brilliant. If only my father didn''t agree. Unfortunately, it''s very passive now, and the advantage of Ancheng county is gone. "Huang Yueying leaned on Liu Xiu''s chest and said, "on the way here, I''m actually ready."


    "What preparation?" Liu Xiu asked curiously.


    Huang Yueying pursed her lips and said, "the marriage between Jiangdong and Jingzhou can''t be changed. If you want to marry sun Shangxiang, it can''t be solved. If I really want to marry, I''ll be a little girl. "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu became stiff, and his heart was even more touched. He shook his head and said, "silly girl, how can I make you small? You are the one I love the most


    Liu Xiu embraces Huang Yueying''s shoulder, and he feels pity in his heart.


    This is not much, not lively woman, can always touch the soft place in his heart.


    ¡­¡­


    That afternoon, Tai Shici led his soldiers to meet sun Shangxiang. Outside the city, Liu Xiu and Tai Shici meet. Tai Shici rode on his horse and said: "county magistrate Liu, I have been ordered to meet Shangxiang girl. Please let her go."


    Liu Xiu waved and sun Shangxiang came out.


    Sun Shangxiang took a look at Liu Xiu, turned around and walked in the direction of Tai Shici.


    Taishici also said: "Jingzhou and Jiangdong are related by marriage. To show sincerity, taishici will withdraw from Changsha County. Next, please go to Jiangdong as soon as possible


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "thank you very much for your reminding."


    "Goodbye!"


    Taishici clasped his fist, turned around and retired into the army.


    At the command, the army set out immediately and left quickly.


    Sun Shangxiang was sitting in the carriage, and his face was always sad. She doesn''t have a bad feeling or a good feeling for Liu Xiu. She doesn''t have much opinion about marrying Liu Xiu. After all, born in such a family, it''s too small for her to be in charge of marriage. It''s good to marry someone who doesn''t hate you.


    If Liu Xiu doesn''t have anyone he likes, sun Shangxiang can marry him. However, Liu xiuxin has her own family. She married in the past and could not be liked by Liu Xiu. This is not what sun Shangxiang wants.


    "How to refuse?"


    Sun Shangxiang said that he would repent or escape marriage, but it was not easy to operate.


    "When you get back to Wuxian, ask your second brother to cancel the marriage. I can''t. go to my mother. " Sun Shangxiang left and right thinking, can not think of a solution, can only temporarily put hope on Sun Quan.


    Tai Shici went to the carriage and said, "Miss, you have been wronged in Ancheng county."


    Sun Shangxiang said: "general Taishi, it''s me who has dragged him down this time. Otherwise, the general will not be in a dilemma. "


    Tess shook his head and apologized again.


    Because of sun Shangxiang, the situation of Yuzhang County became very complicated. But in the final analysis, it was he who failed to protect sun Shangxiang, which led to his being arrested by Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 172

    Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and Huang Yueying stayed in Ancheng County for three days and then left for Xiangyang.


    With taishici''s retreat, Liu Xiu led his army back to you county. Everything seems calm again. However, Liu Xiu knew that this was the calm before the storm. As soon as he stepped into the boundary of Jiangdong, he would set off waves again.


    On October 12, wenpin came to you county with his troops.


    Before that, Liu Biao sent people to Wu county to exchange betrothal gifts with Sun Quan, and agreed on the time to greet them.


    On October 28, Liu Xiu met sun Shangxiang from Jiangdong. There are still 16 days to go before the wedding. It will take some time to go to Jiangdong, so we must start ahead of time.


    Fortunately, Liu Xiu had arranged everything before he left.


    After a short rest in you County, wenpin went to Yuzhang county with Liu Xiu. Enter Yuzhang County, all the way to the northeast, and soon enter Danyang county. Danyang county is adjacent to Wu County. After entering the territory of Danyang County, Liu Xiu met with Sun Yu, the governor of Danyang county. After a night''s rest in Danyang County, Liu Xiu and his party set out on their way the next day.


    On October 20, Liu Xiu and wenpin entered Wu County, the seat of Wu County.


    Wu county is not only the seat of Wu County, but also the political center of Jiangdong.


    The news of Liu Xiu''s delegation''s arrival spread in Wu County as early as possible. When Liu Xiu arrived at the county gate, Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu met him personally with Jiangdong officials.


    When Zhou Yu looked at Liu Xiu, he saw that Liu Xiu''s sword eyebrows were bright and his white shirt was like a graceful young man. He was not only outstanding in his eyebrows, but also capable and decisive. He was also quite appreciated in his heart.


    As the saying goes, "Heroes cherish heroes", Zhou Yu is very handsome and resourceful. He has a very high vision. Before that, he heard all kinds of things about Liu Xiu. When he saw a real person, he also felt that his trip was worthwhile.


    Zhang Zhao, as the person in charge of the reception, said: "old Zhang Zhao, I''ve met Mr. Liu." Cao Cao called Liu Xiu and Xiao Liu, and Zhang Zhao followed him.


    Liu Xiumian with a smile, arched his hands and said: "Mr. Zibu, you are very polite."


    After the greetings, they went to the city.


    The hall of the prefect''s mansion is empty. Sun Quan has not come yet. On the left and right sides, there are already full of civil servants and military generals under Sun Quan''s command, with serious faces.


    Zhang Zhao and Liu Xiu walked ahead. Zhang Zhao turned to face everyone and said, "gentlemen, this is Mr. Liu of Jingzhou."


    After hearing the speech, they immediately got up to attend the ceremony.


    After Liu Xiu''s reply, the guests and the host took their seats.


    Suddenly, a scholar stood up in the hall. The man was dignified and elegant in appearance, and seemed upright. He bowed his hand to Liu Xiuxing and said, "Mr. Liu, you are very polite. I have a question. I want to ask Mr. Liu."


    This words a, public''s vision, all fell on Liu Xiu body.


    Obviously, it was designed in advance.


    The reason why Sun Quan doesn''t appear now is to embarrass Liu Xiu and suppress his arrogance.


    Liu Xiu bowed back and said, "what advice does Mr. Yu have?"


    In the face of Yu fan, Liu Xiu made up his mind to deal with it. What he represents now is Jingzhou. Every word and deed is the face of Jingzhou. If you lose face in Jiangdong and return to Jingzhou, you will be accused by Liu Biao.


    Yu Fanshen said in a deep voice: "sun Shangxiang is the younger sister of the Lord. She has been intelligent since she was a child, and she is matchless in beauty. The man she married must be a hero of both literature and martial arts. Mr. Liu, do you think you are a hero


    When questions are raised, the hall is quiet.


    Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others all looked at Liu Xiu.


    Wen pin sat under Liu Xiu and felt that Yu Fan''s problem was very tricky. If Liu Xiu says that he is a great hero, he is suspected of boasting, and the hero is not self styled. If Liu Xiu said he was not a hero, he would be disgraced and despised by Jiangdong civil and military officials. If you are not a hero, you are not worthy of sun Shangxiang.


    In a word, this is a very tricky and difficult question to answer.


    Liu Xiu turned his mind and looked at Yu fan. After a moment''s silence, he said with a smile, "Mr. Yu''s question, I have nothing to say. I don''t know how to say it."


    "Oh, so Mr. Liu can''t answer?"


    Yu Fanlian had a smile on his face, and he was even more proud. Cao Cao also praised his ability to deal with emergencies, saying that he should have children like Liu Xiu. It seems that Cao Cao''s vision is not good either. The rest of the people looked at Liu Xiu with a little more contempt.


    Liu Xiu said slowly: "Mr. Yu misunderstood. I mean I don''t know how to say it, not that I can''t answer it. After all, it''s not up to me to judge whether I''m a hero or not. But if Mr. Yu asks, I can only be arrogant once. "


    Yu Fan sneered: "so Mr. Liu thinks he is a hero?"


    Instead of answering, Liu asked, "does Mr. Yu know Tai Shici?"


    "Yes


    Yu Fan didn''t even think about it and answered directly.


    Liu Xiu asked, "does Mr. Yu think Tai Shici is a hero?"


    Yu Fan was silent for a moment, and said truthfully: "taishici presided over the war in Yuzhang County in the south. He made great contributions and did his duty. During his stay in Yuzhang County, he made a lot of achievements and was regarded as a hero. "Zhang Zhaoyi stroked his beard under his jaw, and his eyes flashed with a touch of fine light. When Zhou Yu and Lu Su looked at each other, their faces were already understanding, their eyes showed approval, and they understood Liu Xiu''s intention.


    Liu Xiu was not in a hurry, but continued to ask: "regardless of his position, regardless of Cao Cao''s threat to the emperor, is it a hero for Cao Cao to unify the north, quell the war in the north, and let the people in the North settle down?"


    Yu Fan nodded and said: "without a position, Cao Cao is a hero!"


    Liu Xiu said: "taishici is a hero. When I was in Yuzhang County, I defeated Liu Pan, but when I met him, I lost my troops, which led to the capture of Shangxiang girl. Cao Cao is a hero, but when I was in Xu county, I earned Qingchen sword and presented TAIA sword, which made Cao Cao lose face."


    "So, are you a hero?"


    Liu Xiu didn''t say whether he was a hero or not with complacency. He just cited two examples.


    After listening, Yu Fan was speechless.


    People in the hall looked at Liu Xiu with different eyes. Liu Xiu''s answer skill is very ingenious. Instead of answering whether he is a hero or not, he uses the way of contrast to achieve the effect of answering.


    "Pa! Bang


    There was applause and another man stood up.


    "Mr. Liu, in the next step, I have a request."


    Bu was nearly thirty years old, his face was calm, and his eyes were shining with wisdom. He is not only Sun Quan''s subordinate, but also Sun Quan''s in laws, because Bu''s cousin is Sun Quan''s concubine.


    Liu Xiu was neither humble nor overbearing, and said, "what advice does Mr. Bu have?"


    Bu said: "I heard that Mr. Liu has outstanding swordsmanship. In the past, Shangxiang girl and Lu Xiaowei went to Jingzhou. It was Mr. Liu who came forward and defeated Shangxiang. Mr. Liu''s swordsmanship is so exquisite, why not dance in the hall? Let''s open our eyes to the officials of Jiangdong. "


    As soon as the words came out, wenpin clenched his fist and flashed anger in his eyes.


    This is equivalent to humiliation.


    Liu Xiu is the one who comes to meet his bride. Bu Gu asks Liu Xiu to dance sword in the hall, which is obviously to lose Liu Xiu''s face.


    Zhou Yu said with a smile: "I''m good at playing the piano. If Mr. Liu is willing to dance the sword, I''m willing to play a song for Mr. Liu."


    Zhang Zhao echoed: "there is a mistake in the popular song of Jiangdong. Zhou Langgu, the governor of Zhou, is a unique player in Jiangdong. Mr. Liu. It must be a good story to have governor Zhou playing the piano and Mr. Liu dancing the sword. "


    Lu Su stares at Liu Xiu and observes Liu Xiu''s facial expression all the time. Seeing Liu Xiu''s humble and unassuming look, he couldn''t find out what Liu Xiu thought for a moment.


    At this time, Jiangdong''s civil and military generals were all in cajole, hoping to see Liu Xiu dance sword. As long as Liu Xiu agrees and dances his sword in the lobby, all kinds of versions will surely come out tomorrow, and all kinds of versions are unfavorable to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu knew in his heart that he could not agree. Once promised to dance sword alone, the consequences are unimaginable. Liu Xiu smiles and shakes his head and says, "gentlemen, it''s not suitable for sword dancing today."


    In a word, it immediately caused waves in the hall.

 Chapter 173

    Zhang Zhao shook his head slightly and sighed: "does Mr. Liu think it''s shameful to dance swords in front of Jiangdong Wenwu? Zhou Dudu, as the commander of the army and horse in Jiangdong, still wanted to play the piano for Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu, please don''t care about the details. "


    Huang Gai angrily opened his eyes and said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, if you play with a sword, just play with it. Don''t dawdle."


    Cheng Pu also advised: "even if you are a martial arts man, don''t be as wordy as a girl. It''s just sword dancing. It''s no big deal. Most supervisors play the piano in front of the public. "


    The rest of the generals were also encouraged.


    All the people ran on Liu Xiu, as if Liu Xiu didn''t dance the sword, just didn''t give face.


    Wenpin sat at the bottom and couldn''t stand still. When he wanted to get up, he was held down by Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu looked as usual. Facing the important civil and military officials in Jiangdong, he said, "ladies and gentlemen, I think there is a reason why it is not suitable for sword dancing today."


    Yu Fan said: "could it be that Mr. Liu just arrived in Jiangdong, because he was acclimatized, he hurt his wrist and couldn''t hold the sword."


    In a word, laughing one after another.


    Bu Gu''s eyes were cold, and then he said, "in my opinion, it should be because he is not acclimatized, which leads to Mr. Liu''s cold and physical discomfort, which makes it difficult to dance the sword."


    All the people in the hall were ridiculed again and beat Liu Xiu.


    Zhou Yu looked around the crowd and said, "shut up."


    Everyone was quiet, and all eyes fell on Zhou Yu.


    Liu Xiu was on guard. On the surface, Zhou Yu denounced the officials in Jiangdong, but Zhou Yu''s position was based on Jiangdong. In any case, Zhou Yu''s starting point is to consider Jiang Dong, and it is impossible to help him.


    Zhou Yu said, "Mr. Liu, Yu fan, bu Jia, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others are afraid that the world will not be in chaos, which makes Mr. Liu laugh. Since Mr. Liu has come to Jiangdong, he has to convince the people of Jiangdong. Don''t refuse, Mr. Liu. Show your swordsmanship and let them have a look. I haven''t played a single song for a long time. It''s also an honor to help Mr. Liu


    On the surface, Zhou Yu suppressed officials in Jiangdong. Actually, the purpose is to let Liu Xiu dance sword.


    The eyes of all the people converged on Liu Xiu.


    They felt that Liu Xiu should not be able to refuse. Liu Xiu said humbly: "the kindness of governor Zhou is in my heart. It''s just my sword skill. It''s a skill to kill the enemy. Once a sword is made, blood will be seen. Besides, my swordsmanship is not suitable for sword dancing. If Jiangdong is willing to send someone to compete with me, you can have a try. "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "it''s just swordsmanship. It''s the art of killing people. At the gate of meeting relatives, if you can''t control killing people and blood splashes in the hall, it''s not good."


    As soon as these words came out, the officials in Jiangdong looked at each other with gloomy faces.


    Including the generals, they also stopped.


    They all know about Liu Xiu''s swordsmanship, which is extremely powerful. It would be a loss if he went forward to compare swords and died in Liu Xiu''s hands. If they send out unimportant people to be killed by Liu Xiu, it will increase Liu Xiu''s reputation. It is not cost-effective to send famous generals to fight, but also to bully them, especially if they fail or are killed.


    Liu Xiu''s proposal, on the contrary, made Jiangdong''s civil and martial arts in a dilemma.


    From single person sword dance to double person sword competition, the situation turned around and became favorable to Liu Xiu.


    Yu fan, bu Lu, Cheng Pu and others all withered.


    Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu looked at each other, one man and one martial arts, representing the civil and martial arts of Jiangdong, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.


    "I''ll do it!"


    Suddenly, one of the generals on the right side of the hall stood up. He was young, with a hairy beard on his lips. He was less than twenty years old.


    "Breaking thief Du Wei Ling Tong, is willing to consult with Mr. Liu."


    Ling Tong is 18 years old, about the same age as Liu Xiu, but he has experienced many battles and participated in all previous battles against Jiangxia. At the age of ten, he followed his father Ling Cao and sun CE in battle. So far, he has gained great prestige in the army and won Sun Quan''s trust.


    Ling Tong got up, and the others nodded.


    In terms of age, Ling Tong is equal to Liu Xiu.


    In terms of martial arts, Ling Tong is also a veteran on the battlefield, which is not bad.


    As long as Ling Tong defeats Liu Xiu in swordsmanship, there is no doubt that he can suppress Liu Xiu''s arrogance. At the beginning of a real contest, the so-called sword dance can be ignored, and the key is to win or lose.


    This is what Liu Xiu is looking forward to.


    He can''t promise to dance alone. If Jiangdong doesn''t fight, the proposal of sword dancing will be invalid. If Jiangdong goes to battle, Liu Xiu will not have any fear in fencing.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Ling Duwei, I''ve heard your name. I''ve heard a lot about it."


    Lingtong mouth slightly up, proud said: "untouchables, did not expect Mr. Liu also know." The proud face, the corners of the mouth, a trace of pride on the face, always hanging on the face.


    The officials in the hall are even more appreciative.


    Liu Xiu said: "three years ago, Jiangdong attacked Jiangxia. At that time, Ling Cao took part in the war and was finally shot by Gan Ning. And you, Lingtong, are lingcao''s son. "Lingtong''s face suddenly cooled down.


    Gan Ning, sitting in the hall, turned black. In the past, Gan Ning worked under Huang Zu. In order to gain Huang Zu''s respect, he shot Ling Cao. Unfortunately, Huang Zugen didn''t pay attention to him. In the end, Gan Ning surrendered to Sun Quan.


    Ling Cao''s death is Ling Tong''s heart knot. In particular, Liu Xiu didn''t know about him because of his martial arts, but because he knew about Ling Cao''s death.


    This is a disgrace to Lingtong.


    Lingtong''s eyes were cold, and his killing intention was unstoppable. His father is his pride. Now, Liu Xiu has put it forward in public, and Ling Tong will not let Liu Xiu go.


    "Sonorous!"


    Ling Tong pulled out his sword and said, "Liu Xiu, please."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Ling Xiaowei, you have to agree with someone who can make the decision when you compare swords."


    Ling Tong said: "it''s unnecessary."


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhou Yu and said with a smile: "governor Zhou, Ling Tong takes the initiative to challenge. He wants to compete with me. I can do it without killing him. But my sword is very sharp. I''m afraid I can''t stop it. I might hurt Ling Tong. Once you hurt him, you have to be ready. I didn''t mean to do it. It''s because Ling Tong took the initiative and you agreed. "


    Ling Tong sneered: "boast!"


    Liu xiudao said, "I''ll know in a moment whether you boast or not. Jiangdong and I will destroy the marriage relationship in Jingzhou


    Zhou Yu''s eyebrows wrinkled into a Sichuan character.


    Liu Xiu''s self-confidence made Zhou Yu uncertain. In case Ling Tong was seriously injured, the result would be bad.


    Zhang Zhao was the head of the civil service, but he did not interfere.


    Lu Su sat at the bottom of Zhou Yu, thought about it, and said: "Gongjin, as xiugongzi said, it''s a marriage now. Once blood splashes in the hall, it''s not good. In my opinion, forget it. "


    In Zhou Yu''s eyes, there was a trace of intention. He was not willing to take risks.


    Ling Tong wanted to teach Liu Xiu a lesson in his heart and said: "governor of Dadu, Mr. Liu seldom comes to Jiangdong. It''s just right for him to compete in martial arts. All of you here have approved it. Order it. "


    Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said sonorously, "Mr. Liu, I''ll play the piano for you." In a word, it shows the attitude. Immediately, the attendant took an ancient Qin and put it on Zhou Yu''s desk. After cleaning his hands, Zhou Yu sat down on his knees with a serious look on his face.


    "Dong! Dong


    The majestic and high music of Qin suddenly reverberates in the hall.


    For a moment, it was as if all the people were on the battlefield.


    There was a trace of surprise in Liu Xiu''s eyes. Zhou Yu''s piano skill is really extraordinary. A hand, it is immersive. He looked at Lingtong standing in the hall, got up and went to Lingtong.


    "Sonorous!"


    When the sword came out of its sheath, Liu Xiu held it in his hand and waved, "please!"

 Chapter 174

    "Please


    Ling Tong, holding a long sword, stabbed Liu Xiu without saying a word. The sharp edge of the sword is close to Liu Xiu''s face.


    In the first match, Liu Xiu mainly defends, moves under his feet and avoids this move. Ling Tong''s eyes were murderous. He pursued again with his sword, and Liu Xiu evaded again. Ling Tong held back his strength, wielded his sword and attacked fiercely, but Liu Xiu still evaded. For three consecutive moves, Ling Tong didn''t even touch Liu Xiu''s clothes.


    "Liu Xiu, you are evasive. You can''t compete with the sword."


    After Lingtong stood still, his eyes were cold.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "your swordsmanship is average. I''ll give you three moves. After all, my usual weapon is sword. You don''t use sword. If I don''t let you, you''ll lose right away. "


    "Dong! Dong


    At this time, the sound of the piano becomes more relaxed.


    It''s very comfortable to play the piano.


    Ling Tong''s big sleeve brushed and hummed: "since it''s a sword contest, you don''t need to keep your hand. Come on, do your best. I see how good you are


    "Zheng! Zheng! "Zheng


    Suddenly, the sound of the piano rose.


    Liu Xiuqing sword across the chest, waving his hand: "that''s it, please."


    "Boom!"


    Liu Xiu stepped on the ground, and in an instant, the ground shook. In the hall, Zhou Yu''s piano sound also appeared a broken sound, and soon returned to normal. The rest of the civil and military generals were shocked. Liu Xiu''s strength was not simple.


    "Hum!"


    The point of the sword broke through the air, and a green rainbow crossed the air. A sharp sword is as fast as thunder.


    "Well come!"


    Ling Tong''s eyes were also excited with his sword. However, when the weapon was about to strike, Liu Xiujian changed his move and quickly stabbed Ling Tong''s shoulder.


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu drank low, and the tip of his sword burst into Lingtong''s left shoulder.


    The edge of the sword into the meat three points, then bring out a trace of blood.


    Ling Tong only felt a little pain, no piercing pain, but Liu Xiu was merciful. He was so angry that he took his sword and swung it in the air like a knife.


    "Open the door, open the belly."


    Liu Xiu''s pace was very fast. He avoided Ling Tong''s sword and cut it horizontally.


    "Ho


    The light of the sword flashed, and the green sword crossed the armor. Sharp blade, easily split the armor, in Lingtong''s skin, left a bloodstain, but did not split the skin.


    For two consecutive swords, Liu Xiu showed his attainments in swordsmanship.


    Ling Tong saw Liu xiuren on the right side and swept with his sword, but when he made a move, Liu Xiu waved his sword to block him.


    "Dang!"


    At the moment when the weapon hit, Qingchen sword rose up with the trend, and immediately changed its move to stab Lingtong''s heart. Ling Tong takes back his sword to resist. Liu Xiu''s mouth turns up, and then he shoots it down.


    "Pa!"


    The body of the sword is on the wrist of Lingtong''s right hand.


    A strong force burst out. In a flash, Ling Tong''s hand holding the sword was numb and weak, and he could no longer hold the handle of the sword. The sword in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.


    "Sonorous!"


    Qingchen sword, immediately into the sheath.


    After Liu Xiu stood still, he looked at Zhou Yu and said, "thank you for playing the piano."


    After that, Liu Xiu looked at Ling Tong again and said, "Ling Duwei, you''ve accepted."


    Zhou Yu had just started to play the piano, but the sword competition was over. Zhou Yu had to turn the music and stop immediately. Ling Tong stood in the same place, his eyes showed an incredible look.


    The fight just now was just a blink of an eye. He was defeated.


    And there''s no fighting back.


    At this moment, not only Ling Tong was surprised, but Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Gan Ning and others were shocked. They were all familiar with Lingtong and knew his martial arts, but Lingtong was defeated in this way.


    Liu Xiu''s swordsmanship is terrible.


    Liu Xiu returned to his seat and said faintly: "the first move is to pierce Lingtong''s left shoulder with the sharpness of Qingchen sword; the second sword is to break his stomach; the third sword is to cut off a hand. My swordsmanship is the art of killing people, and I''m not good at sword dancing, so let''s stop here. "


    A word, Pa Pa Pa hit in Jiangdong civil and military officials face, a face is not good-looking. Their original intention was to encourage Liu Xiu to dance the sword and humiliate him. Unexpectedly, it turned into a challenge to Lingtong, but was crushed.


    In the hall, it was quiet.


    Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu looked at each other with a trace of fear in their eyes.


    "I''m defeated!"


    Ling Tong took a deep breath, saluted with his fist, and retired to the seat. In terms of swordsmanship, he is not Liu Xiu''s opponent. He is willing to take the lead.


    The atmosphere in the hall is even more depressing. The faces of Jiangdong''s civil and military officials were directly swept away. On the contrary, it was Liu Xiu who made the officials of Jiangdong unable to raise their heads. Wenpin''s eyes showed a trace of joy.


    "Ha ha ha I was busy with government affairs just now. Did I miss something good? "A burst of laughter came from outside the hall.


    Wearing a pair of brocade boots, the young man steps in with a crown. As soon as Sun Quan came in, the dignified atmosphere was relieved.


    "See you, Lord!"


    The crowd got up and saluted one after another.


    Liu Xiu and Wen pin got up and said, "Liu Xiu of Jingzhou has met Marquis Wu."


    Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "Mr. Liu, please sit down."


    "Thank you, marquis Wu." Liu Xiu and Wen pin sat down.


    After Sun Quan sat down, he looked around and said, "it was very busy in the hall just now. What happened?" He looked curious, but Liu Xiu sneered at this scene. Sun Quan absolutely knew what happened in the hall. Maybe he was listening in the room next to him and came out when he saw that the atmosphere was not right.


    Zhou Yu briefly said what happened just now, and Sun Quan scolded: "bastard, Mr. Liu is a guest from afar, and he is not only a guest, but also the son-in-law of the sun family. What are you doing? This matter can''t be repeated. If you do it again, it will not be spared. "


    He took it with care and exposed it.


    Liu said: "Marquis Wu, I''m here to meet you. So, marquis Wu, please set the time


    Sun Quan said with a smile: "on October 28, I''m sure you''ll meet me. It''s only a few days before December 28. Mr. Liu will have a good look around Wu county to see the beautiful scenery of Wu County. "


    "When I learned that Mr. Liu had arrived, I ordered the servants to prepare drinks. This evening, Mr. Liu must stay and get drunk. "


    Sun Quan''s eyes were full of expectation.


    Because Liu Xiu is outstanding in culture and martial arts, he failed to embarrass Liu Xiu. He drank wine at night, but it was different.


    Before that, sun Shangxiang went back to Wu county to find him and wanted him to repent. Sun Quan felt that it was inappropriate to tear up the engagement unilaterally, otherwise Jiangdong would be despised and rejected by people all over the world. Moreover, Sun Quan thinks that Liu Xiu is a great threat. Instead of killing Liu Xiu, he can keep Liu xiuqiang in Jiangdong. As long as he says that Liu Xiu likes Wu County and does not want to go back to Jingzhou, even if Jingzhou understands, he can''t blame him.


    Liu Xiu didn''t know what Sun Quan thought in his heart. He arched his hand and said, "Marquis Wu, thank you very much."


    Sun Quan said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, oh no, you are going to be my son-in-law. It''s very strange to call Mr. Liu. Well, how would you like me to call you a good brother? "


    Liu Xiu said, "but it depends on marquis Wu."


    Sun Quan hit the snake with the stick, shook his head and said, "if you call him Marquis Wu again, you will see something strange."


    Liu Xiu said, "brother!"


    Sun Quan laughed and looked at the civil and military officials in the hall. He said in a loud voice: "you are my good brother. You should treat him as you treat your own official. "


    When they got the order, they all nodded their heads. However, with the previous episode, a group of people looked at Liu Xiu''s eyes, with a faint fear. But they also know the banquet in the evening. When they think about it, they get excited again.


    In the evening, Sun Quan ordered a banquet.


    The wine and food that have been prepared are served one by one. Everyone''s desk is full of delicious food and wine, and even more beautiful maids pour wine.


    Sun Quan looked at his happy scene, picked up his wine bottle and said in a loud voice, "my dear brother has come all the way to meet me. I''ve been working hard all the way. Come on, let''s drink to my brother. "


    "Thank you, brother!"


    Liu Xiu took up the wine bottle and paid homage to Sun Quan, then to the civil and military officials in the hall.


    When people drink, there is another sound of praise.


    At this time, Zhang Zhao got up. He came to Liu Xiu with a bottle full of wine. He bowed his head and said, "Mr. Liu, I''m a civil servant in Jiangdong this afternoon. I''m ashamed that I didn''t restrain him. This glass of wine, I respect Mr. Liu and make amends to him. Please


    After that, Zhang Zhao drank and looked at Liu Xiu with a smile.

 Chapter 175

    Liu Xiu replied with a smile, then took the bottle and drank it. Seeing this, Zhang Zhao arched his hand and said, "I admire Mr. Liu for his huge quantity." With a compliment, Zhang Zhao returned to his seat.


    Zhou Yu took the bottle and went to Liu Xiu.


    Facing Liu Xiu, Zhou Yu also had a soft face. He bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Liu''s swordsmanship is superb and admirable. In particular, I admire the layout of Mr. Liu. When Mr. Liu first arrived in Jiangdong, Jiangdong''s generals challenged Mr. Liu, leaving a very bad impression on him. Here, the governor made amends to Mr. Liu. "


    Without waiting for Liu Xiu to open his mouth, Zhou Yu drank the wine in his glass and looked at Liu Xiu with a smile.


    In a word, soft with hard.


    On the surface, it''s an apology. In fact, it''s a drink.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "don''t blame yourself too much, it has nothing to do with you. After all, Mr. Lin, there are all kinds of birds. There are always some birds who like to sing


    Zhou Yu''s face turned black.


    Liu Xiu said that when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, obviously criticizing Jiangdong. However, Liu Xiu''s words went down again. Zhou Yu could only eat Coptis chinensis and swallow it himself.


    In a word, Zhou Yu was very upset.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "governor Zhou, thank you very much."


    He picked up the bottle and drank it.


    Zhou Yuqiang said with a smile, "Mr. Liu has a large number of people. Zhou Yu admires him." After that, Zhou Yu returned to his seat and stopped talking. Now he can see that Liu Xiu is not only outstanding in ability, but also tricky and vicious in his mouth. It is not easy to target Liu Xiu.


    Lu Su then got up, went to Liu Xiu''s body, bowed his head and said, "I''m here to meet Mr. Liu for the second time. When I first met, I invited Mr. Liu to Jiangdong. I didn''t expect to meet again under the current situation. Now Mr. Liu and Jiangdong have become a family. Congratulations. "


    After a pause, Lu Su said: "fate is so magical. Shangxiang disguised herself as a man and competed with Mr. Liu. Then she disguised herself as a man and went to the battlefield and met Mr. Liu. Now I''m going to marry Mr. Liu. My life is really wonderful. Ha ha, too much I respect Mr. Liu for nothing but fate. "


    "Please


    Lu Su took the bottle and drank it.


    Like Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, Lu Su is also smiling at Liu Xiu, waiting for him to drink.


    Liu Xiu laughs. He understands the intention of Jiangdong''s officials. Everyone under Sun Quan''s command came to propose a toast, which was clearly the idea of pouring him over on the spot.


    There are more than 20 civil and military officials under Sun Quan.


    When a person drinks a glass of wine, Liu Xiu drinks more than 20 glasses of wine. Even though the drinking degree of this era was not high, it was like water to Liu Xiu, but after all, it would make his stomach swell. If you drink too much, your head can''t stand it.


    Liu Xiu stares at Lu Su, light says: "I and Mr. Zi Jing, it is really the second time to meet."


    "Think about it. The first time we met, it was like yesterday."


    "When I met for the first time, I took part in the reception for the first time. Fortunately, Mr. Zijing went to Xiangyang. Otherwise, I would still be living a carefree life in the prefecture."


    "So as Mr. Zijing said, life is really wonderful."


    Liu Xiu said: "without Mr. Zijing, maybe I would not be what I am now. Mr. Zijing used to invite me to Jiangdong as a guest. I answered Mr. Zijing''s words. This time I came to Jiangdong, I didn''t realize what I used to say. Maybe it will succeed in the future. After all, no one can predict what will happen in the future. "


    Lu Su''s mouth twitched and laughed unnaturally. On that day, he invited Liu Xiu to Jiangdong as a guest in zhoumu Prefecture. He meant to alienate Liu Biao and Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu''s answer was that he wanted to set foot on Jiangdong and attack Jiangdong.


    Liu Xiu picked up his glass and said, "Mr. Zijing, thank you very much."


    With the wine in hand, Liu Xiu drank it with his head up.


    Suddenly, a tiger general in the hall asked, "Mr. Zijing, how did Mr. Liu answer your invitation when he was sent to Xiangyang that day?"


    After listening to Liu Xiu, a smile rose from the corner of his mouth. He is a teammate like a pig.


    Lu Su said: "for a long time, I have forgotten."


    Sun Quan and Zhou Yu both glared at the generals who were talking. They were both human spirits, and they understood at once. Liu Xiu''s answer is certainly not a good one, otherwise Lu Su would not have said it.


    Liu Xiuwei is afraid not disorderly, ask a way: "you are?"


    The general said, "I''m Lu Meng."


    There was a trace of surprise in Liu Xiu''s eyebrows. Unexpectedly, it was LV Meng, the third generation General of Jiangdong. But now, Lu Meng is still a brave general who does not study and only knows how to fight.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "general Lu, I remember very clearly what I said to Mr. Zijing that day."


    Lu Su wry smile, waved: "Mr. Liu, that day is a joke, why take it seriously."


    But Liu Xiu said with a straight face: "since it''s a joke, it''s more taboo and can be said. And now the atmosphere is in full swing, just to activate the atmosphere. Mr. Zijing can''t remember. I help himAlthough Lu Meng did not read poetry, his mind was extremely sensitive. Liu Xiu and Lu Su had a tit for tat confrontation. He understood and said something he shouldn''t have said.


    Liu Xiu continued: "Mr. Zijing invited me to Jiangdong as a guest, saying that Marquis Wu would meet each other in his shoes. I thought, I''m a powerless boy, how can I let Marquis Wu meet me? The only way is to lead troops and horses to step on Jiangdong. So what I said was, "please rest assured, Mr. Zijing. In the future, Liu Xiu will surely set foot in Jiangdong and personally lead his troops to Jiangdong as a guest."


    After that, Lu Meng''s mouth twitched. Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others were not looking good.


    Jiangdong''s generals, in particular, have poor eyes.


    Liu Xiu''s words seemed to ignite the fuse, which made the atmosphere very awkward.


    The expression on Liu Xiu''s face was very calm.


    These people in Jiangdong have evil intentions and want to drink. Since Jiang Dong''s mind is not right, he will not have any burden. Especially when LV Meng himself came to the door, Liu Xiu was even more impolite.


    Countless eyes fell on LV Meng, as if to kill him.


    Lu Meng turned his eyes and came up to Liu Xiu with the wine bottle. He said, "Mr. Liu, you used to say that you wanted a horse to step on Jiangdong, but now you are Jiangdong''s son-in-law. In a word, it''s hard to predict. What you expect often doesn''t go according to your plan. I''m a rude man and can''t speak. Let''s not say more. I wish Mr. Liu would marry a beautiful woman and stay together all his life


    "Please


    Lu Meng took the bottle and drank it.


    He was also smiling and staring at Liu Xiu. Just now, the atmosphere was very awkward. As soon as LV Meng opened his mouth, the atmosphere changed instantly, and it was no longer as explosive as it was just now.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "thanks to general Lu''s good words, general Lu is better than a rude man, but in my opinion, general Lu is as wise as a fool, and many people can''t compare with general Lu. I used to say that I wanted Ma to step on Jiangdong, and eventually I became Jiangdong''s son-in-law. It''s true that this plan can''t keep up with the changes. So, ah, planning things, walking, walking, will change. "


    When he spoke, Liu Xiu looked at Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and Lu Su intentionally or unintentionally.


    The meaning in his eyes is clearly that you Jiangdong are aiming at me, but the plan can''t catch up with the change. In the end, what is the situation is still unknown.


    Sun Quan shook his head in his heart and sighed that Liu Xiu was really a good master.


    Liu Xiu looked back at LV Meng and continued: "general LV, thank you very much." With these words, Liu Xiu took the bottle and drank it down. At the moment when LV Meng just turned around, Liu Xiu saw another man standing up with a wine bottle not far away.


    "Alas..."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and sighed loudly.


    Everyone in the hall heard the sigh.


    Sun Quan, as the host, could not ignore Liu Xiu''s sighing and said with concern, "why does Mr. Liu sigh?" Liu Xiu sighed all his life, deliberately forcing Sun Quan.


    On the table, it''s an honest and upright plot. Sun Quan can only ask.


    Liu Xiu said: "I just feel that Jiangdong is really incomparable with Cao Cao."


    A word, like a big stone thrown into the water, immediately set off a layer of waves. One by one, Jiangdong''s civil and military officers and generals glared at Liu Xiu with unfriendly eyes.

 Chapter 176

    As the boss of Jiangdong, Sun Quan can''t show too much emotion on his face. Even if Liu Xiu''s words are unreasonable, it is impossible to look at Liu Xiu with hatred.


    Looking at Liu Xiu, his eyes were still calm, but there was a trace of anger in his eyes.


    Jiangdong III has passed on his experience.


    The first was the era of Sun Jian, who led his troops into Jiangdong and laid a certain foundation.


    Second, because Sun Jian died in middle age, sun CE rebuilt Sun Jian''s foundation, gathered a group of capable officials and generals in Jiangdong, and expanded the foundation of Jiangdong. Even Cao Cao in the North praised that it was difficult for the lions in Jiangdong to fight, which showed sun CE''s success. Unfortunately, sun CE was also killed in the middle, and Sun Quan inherited sun CE''s foundation.


    Sun Quan was in charge of Jiangdong. On the one hand, he recuperated and continued to develop land.


    Over the past few years, Jiangdong has made great progress in both financial and military strength. Although Sun Quan knew that Jiangdong was far behind Cao Cao, he had great ambition in his heart. As long as Jiangdong captured Jingzhou, he could go north to fight against Cao Cao, and it was not impossible to fight against Cao Cao.


    Sun Quan will not speak out these ideas. But in his heart, he had great ambition. He didn''t think he was weaker than Cao Cao. It was only time that he was weaker than Cao Cao.


    The calmer Sun Quan''s eyes were, the more ups and downs he felt. He said slowly, "when you go to Xu county, you see Cao Cao, and you also see Cao Cao''s generals. In my opinion, which aspects of Wei brother and Jiangdong''s culture and martial arts are inferior to Cao Cao? "


    Liu Xiu said: "my elder brother, Ren Xian, uses his energy, caresses the people internally, expands his territory externally, and is no worse than Cao Cao. I say that Jiangdong can''t compare with Cao Cao because the people under his elder brother''s command are all alcoholic. "


    In a word, Sun Quan''s expression is even more embarrassing.


    On the surface, Liu Xiu praised Sun Quan, but slapped his ministers in the face. This is the same result as slapping Sun Quan directly.


    Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others were unable to suppress their anger.


    We all share a common hatred.


    I have to say that Liu xiula''s Kung Fu of hatred is quite good. Three or two sentences aroused the emotion of Jiangdong''s military officers. Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others are not free from vulgarity.


    Zhang Zhao said in a deep voice: "Mr. Liu said that Jiangdong Wenwu is a wine bag. How can we judge that?"


    There was a solemn look on Zhou Yu''s handsome cheek, and he said, "Mr. Liu, when he saw Cao Cao''s civil servants and military generals, I was curious. Do they have three heads and six arms, or do they have brilliant literary talent one by one?"


    Lu Su said without hesitation: "Mr. Liu is Jiangdong''s son-in-law, but it''s not appropriate to flatter Cao thief and suppress Jiangdong."


    The rest of the generals also spoke.


    Liu xiuduan sat in the hall and was isolated. All the people aimed at Liu Xiu.


    Wen pin sat behind Liu Xiu and couldn''t help swallowing his saliva.


    The scene in front of us is even more intense than in the past in Cao Cao''s Sikong mansion. At that time, Liu Xiu was in the Sikong mansion, facing Cao Cao''s military officers alone. Although he was made difficult, he was not so targeted. At present, Liu Xiu is faced with a situation in which all the people are enemies.


    Sun Quan was still smiling and said, "good brother, it''s the so-called disaster comes from the mouth. You really need to explain what happened just now. We all have a good intention to take over the wind and wash the dust for you. You have gone too far. "


    It seems to be maintenance, but in fact it forces Liu Xiu to explain.


    Liu Xiu said: "elder brother, Duke Zhang, governor Zhou and Mr. Zijing, what I said just now is in fact partial. But it is undeniable that there is a big gap between the attitudes I have seen and those of Cao Cao''s officials. "


    His words were neither humble nor overbearing. He first apologized, then flattered Cao Cao''s people, and once again belittled Sun Quan''s people.


    So much so that Sun Quan has a thorn in his heart.


    Sun Quan put his hand on the table and tugged at the corner of the table, but he said with a smile: "in that case, I really want to listen to my brother''s comments."


    Liu Xiu gave a little smile and then said, "the reason why he expressed his emotion just now is that the generals of Jiangdong came to propose a toast. They either apologized or uttered nonsense. It''s not up to standard."


    "I''m under 20 years old, but there''s a man''s measure."


    "I always think that if a man has a small stomach, it is absolutely impossible to do anything."


    Liu Xiu said: "in the afternoon, I really didn''t pay attention to the things that were made difficult by Yu fan, bu Lu and Ling Tong. Therefore, there is no need for you to toast again in the name of apology. "


    After the words came out, Yu fan, bu Gu and Ling Tong immediately laid down their guns, flushed and embarrassed. They made trouble for Liu Xiu in the afternoon, but they were beaten to pieces by Liu Xiu. It''s really humiliating.


    At the same time, the faces of Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu were also unnatural.


    Liu Xiu said it, it is no different from also to three people''s face, slap slap slap a few ears. On the surface, Liu Xiu said that he was not a chicken with a small stomach. In his words, he insinuated that Jiangdong was a chicken with a small stomach.The generals of Jiangdong are very uncomfortable.


    Liu Xiu looked around at the crowd and continued: "so in my opinion, it''s unnecessary to propose a toast in various names, and it''s too embarrassing."


    "Cao Cao''s people are different in this respect."


    "When Cao Cao''s people come to propose a toast, they should first write a poem. If I can write a poem accordingly, I can not drink. If you can''t do it, drink. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "it''s very interesting and the atmosphere is very comfortable. You can also follow the example of my brother''s generals. Wen Chen plays the piano first, the general dances first, and then makes a toast. Banquets, banquets, not just toasts, there is no warm atmosphere of the party. It''s just a toast. It''s not fun. "


    Sun Quan''s big eyes, calm face, revealed a trace of embarrassment.


    When Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao looked at each other, they were also in a dilemma.


    Cao Cao unified the north. He had a large number of literati and generals under his command. He had a lot of talents and did not worry about the poets. Jiangdong has a small territory and a shortage of talents. It''s impossible to make everyone write a poem or dance and toast to Liu Xiu.


    On the east side of the river, he was forced to the corner by Liu Xiu.


    Sun Quan''s original intention was to let his subordinates turn Liu Xiu over with the help of the banquet and make Liu Xiu difficult. Once people get drunk, it''s much easier to do things. Now, instead of making trouble for Liu Xiu, he forced himself to a corner.


    There was a smile in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    He had already known the thoughts of Jiangdong''s officials. These people want to make trouble for him, but he is not a soft persimmon, you can easily handle it. If you want to be provocative, you have to be ready to be cleaned up.


    "Ha ha ha, you are right. Zhugejin, are you going to propose a toast? Come on, you should write a poem first, or think of a program yourself, and then propose a toast to your younger brother. We should follow the rules. "


    Sun Quan''s eyes fell on Zhuge Jin.


    The person who just stood up to propose a toast to Liu Xiu was Zhuge Jin under Sun Quan''s account.


    Liu Xiu mouth up, did not expect to be shot Zhuge Jin. He carefully looked at Zhuge Jin. Compared with Zhuge Liang''s beauty, Zhuge Jin was ordinary. His face was very long, just like a horse''s face, but his face was calm and capable.


    Sun Quan''s words stunned Zhuge Jin. He was in a dilemma and said, "Lord, I''m here..."


    Sun Quan said, "aren''t you toasting?"


    Zhugejin was asked, and knew that she could not shrink back. He turned his mind, thought of the solution, said: "Lord, I really intend to propose a toast to Mr. Liu."


    Liu Xiu said, "what poetry is Mr. Zhuge going to write?"


    Zhugejin shook her head and said, "I''m a dull thinker. It''s very difficult to write poems. So, I can only do something I am good at. I''m good at playing the piano. I''ll play for Mr. Liu. "


    "Yes, it''s a great pleasure in life to hear Mr. Zhuge play the piano." Liu Xiu said with a smile: "when I visited your brother Zhuge Liang in Longzhong the other day, I wanted to discuss the art of Qin, but because Kong Ming went to play in the mountains, I missed the chance. Now Brother Ziyu is playing the piano himself, and he''s done a long cherished wish. "


    Zhuge Jin''s eyes showed a look of surprise. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu and his younger brother Zhuge Liang knew each other. He said, "does Mr. Liu know Kongming?"


    Liu xiudao: "the friendship of schoolmates!"


    Zhuge Jin''s heart is even more trembling, did not expect that Liu Xiu and Zhuge Liang is actually the same door. He was excited for a moment, and his mood soon stabilized and he looked calm.


    The soldiers brought Guqin and table, which were placed in the center of the hall.

 Chapter 177

    "Dong! Dong


    The sound of the zither comes from zhugejin''s fingertips.


    It''s a classic piece, playing by Zhuge Xuan. It''s pleasant and comfortable. After playing a piece of music, Zhuge Jin looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Liu, I''d like to make a fool of myself."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "where is the saying of offering ugliness? In my opinion, brother Ziyu''s piano skill is also excellent. "


    Zhugejin waved her hand, and the maid handed over the wine bottle and said, "please!"


    As soon as he looked up, zhugejin drank it all.


    Naturally, Liu Xiu didn''t say anything. He took the bottle and drank the wine.


    Zhugejin returned to the table, and was relieved. His back was wet with cold sweat. When Sun Quan asked him just now, he was already on the shelf and couldn''t retreat.


    Zhu Gejin is not good at poetry. Fortunately, he had an idea, playing the piano, and exposed the matter.


    Sitting at the table, Zhuge Jin''s heart flew to Zhuge Liang''s body.


    When she was in Xuzhou in those years, Zhuge Jin went out early and wandered all the way to Jiangdong, followed sun CE, and then devoted herself to Sun Quan.


    In these years, Zhuge Jin has never had the whereabouts of his second younger brother Zhuge Liang, his third younger brother Zhuge Jun, and his two younger sisters. Now when Zhuge Liang was mentioned, Zhuge Jin''s heart became lively, and she wanted to ask Liu Xiu immediately.


    But now is the time to propose a toast. Zhugejin can only put down her thoughts and ask Liu Xiu about things after the banquet.


    After Liu Xiu set the conditions, the toasts became polite.


    Among the civil servants, only after a while did they come to offer a toast. After all, it''s impossible to be sure that the only one who can help the next generation is the martial arts general.


    The number of toasts decreased, and the atmosphere was not as warm as before.


    Sun Quan shook his wine bottle and said with a smile, "my dear brother, you have a beautiful day today. You are quick in thinking. It''s better to write a poem. What do you think?"


    Liu Xiu looked up at the night outside the hall, shook his head and said, "brother, it''s dark tonight. Without the moon, where can we get the beautiful scenery? The most important thing is that after drinking, the head is in a daze, the head is in a mass of paste, the mind is interrupted, and it is difficult to compose poems. So please forgive me


    For Sun Quan, Liu Xiusi did not give face. He gives Sun Quan face, but Sun Quan thinks he is easy to bully. On the contrary, Sun Quan can''t tear his face.


    Sun Quan said with a smile, "well, I''m drunk. I can''t even see the color clearly."


    In a word, we have exposed the matter just now.


    Because of Liu Xiu''s venomous tongue, the banquet was always tepid and tepid. Before long, Sun Quan pretended to be drunk and left. Then the officials in the hall left one after another.


    Liu Xiu and Wen pin went out of the prefecture and went to the restaurant where they had a rest.


    After staying, wenpin came to Liu Xiu''s room and said, "can you bear it after drinking so much wine at night? I''ll have someone make you some porridge and clean up your stomach. "


    Liu Xiu''s face was not red and his breath was breathless. He said, "general Zhongye, don''t bother. I''m fine. I can bear this wine."


    Wen pin sighed: "when we come back to Jiangdong, we will see the posture of Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and Jiangdong''s civil servants and military generals. I''m afraid this wedding is not so smooth. "


    Liu xiudao: "after all, this is Jiangdong and Sun Quan''s territory. It''s normal for them to make trouble. If they don''t do it, it''s not normal. " After a pause, Liu xiudao said, "general Zhongye, among the people who are with you, are there any smart people who are good at inquiring about information?"


    Wenpin said: "yes, I specially brought Chihou."


    Liu xiudao: "you send two Chihou to sneak into Wu County, quiet down to inquire about the news. Today is October 20, October 28. It''s still such a long time. We can''t be passive. We have to establish our own information sources. "


    Wenpin nodded and said, "don''t worry, sir. I''ll make it clear. Before I came here, my Lord also told me about the detailed work in Wu County. As long as you contact them, you can also provide us with some information. "


    After listening, Liu Xiu saw a smile in his eyes. Liu Biao used all the detailed works of Wu County. In this way, Liu Xiu''s operation in Wu County would be much easier.


    "Dong! Dong


    There was a knock on the door, which suddenly sounded outside the room.


    The soldier reported: "general, zhugejin asked to see you."


    Wenpin asked Liu Xiu for advice. Liu Xiu laughed and said, "please." For Zhuge Jin, he proposed Zhuge Liang just to arouse Zhuge Jin''s curiosity. He didn''t expect Zhuge Jin to come so soon.


    Wenpin said: "young master, I will go down to have a rest first. If you have something to do, let the soldiers come to me."


    Liu Xiu nodded, wenpin got up and left. Just opened the door, just saw Zhuge Jin standing at the door of the room. Wen pin nodded and then left.


    When zhugejin entered the room, the soldiers immediately closed the door.


    "I''ve met Mr. Liu."Zhugejin''s words and deeds are very standard. On his face, there was a soft smile, but on that calm face, there was a kind of elegance.


    His appearance is not outstanding, but his temperament is outstanding.


    Liu Xiumian with a smile, said: "brother Ziyu night visit, what''s important?"


    Zhugejin smell speech, calm face a little more cramped, slowly way: "in the next night to disturb, because the second brother Zhuge Liang things."


    Liu Xiu said, "Oh, brother Ziyu, do you have anything to ask?"


    Zhugejin said slowly: "I left home very early. After I came to Jiangdong, I didn''t know what was going on at home. At most, I just know that a few years ago, my uncle and his family came to Jingzhou to settle down. I don''t know anything about the second and third younger brothers. So I came late at night to inquire about my family. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "brother Ziyu, since you miss it, why don''t you go back and have a look?"


    Zhugejin smell speech, a trace of sentimental on the face, immediately said: "cungong did not stand, dare not go home."


    In a word, it expressed Zhuge Jin''s thoughts.


    Those who wander away from home hope to return home in fine clothes. Today''s zhugejin, Sun Quan''s reuse, but far from success, far from success.


    Liu Xiu stopped concealing and said, "brother Ziyu, don''t worry. Everything is well in your family. Kong Ming studied under the door of Pang Degong in lumen mountain before, and he was in the same school as me. Today, Kong Ming becomes an official and works for Liu Bei. As for Zhuge Jun, he is still in Longzhong. Your two younger sisters, one married Pang Shanmin, the teacher''s son, and the other married Kuai Qi of the Kuai family. Now, Kuai Qi works under my command. "


    As soon as these words came out, zhugejin''s eyes on Liu Xiu changed again.


    I didn''t expect that I had such a connection with Liu Xiu.


    However, Zhuge Jin quickly adjusted her attitude and said: "in this way, the situation of the second and third younger brothers is not bad, and so are the younger sisters. As an incompetent elder brother, I can rest assured. "


    As the saying goes, the elder brother is like a father. Zhugejin''s father died early. The burden of the family should fall on zhugejin, but zhugejin went out early and didn''t support the family. Zhugejin felt guilty.


    Liu Xiu said, "Ziyu is alone in Jiangdong. Doesn''t he miss his family? Now Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jun and your two younger sisters are in Jingzhou. Why don''t Ziyu return to Jingzhou? "


    Zhuge Jin said: "I have taken root in Jiangdong, and I have a wife and children. It is impossible to go to Jingzhou again. My Lord is very kind to me, and he thinks highly of me. I can''t go to Jingzhou any more. "


    As soon as the words changed, Zhuge Jin said, "thank you for the information provided by master Xiu. Everything is well at home, and Jin can rest assured."


    Liu xiudao: "brother Ziyu sent someone to inquire about it. Naturally, I know it. There''s no need to thank you." After a simple conversation, he knew that Zhuge Jin had made up her mind to be loyal to Sun Quan. It was not easy to dig up Sun Quan''s corner.


    Zhugejin was silent for a while, and then said: "xiugongzi, October 25 is the birthday of the master''s mother. At that time, the guild will celebrate. When master Xiu knows the news, he can prepare in advance. Goodbye. "


    After that, zhugejin got up and left.


    Liu Xiu watched zhugejin leave, the corner of his mouth slightly up, zhugejin brought the news is timely. On the 25th, he congratulated Wu Guotai on her birthday. Liu Xiu could meet Wu Guotai and sun Shangxiang and ask about the next situation.

 Chapter 178

    It''s late at night, and the study of the prefect''s mansion is still brightly lit.


    Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and Lu Su are still discussing about Liu Xiu.


    Zhang Zhao firmly believes that marrying sun Shangxiang to Liu Xiu can ease the relationship between Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and that Liu Xiu should be allowed to marry sun Shangxiang. This insistence has been advocated by Zhang Zhao.


    Zhou Yu and Lu Su, on the other hand, believed that Liu Xiu''s threat was too great and that he must be detained in Jiangdong.


    Because of this matter, the two sides argued endlessly, and there has been no conclusion.


    Zhang Zhao is in his early fifties. His hair is gray and he is very old. However, when he argues, he is neither old nor tired at all. His eyes are clear and his face is cold. He chatters incessantly: "the Lord inherits the foundation of his ancestors. Now it is Sun Quan''s turn. He says:" another thing, the 25th is his mother''s 40th-8th birthday. "


    As the head of the civil service, Zhang Zhao must take part in this matter, and his relationship with the sun family is unusual, so he can''t stay out of it. Zhang Zhao put away his emotion and said, "is the old lady''s birthday party simple or heavy?"


    Sun Quan thought about it for a while and said, "my mother doesn''t like luxury. Moreover, Jiangdong is mainly thrifty, so it''s not suitable to be luxurious. It should be handled simply."


    Zhang Zhao nodded, then asked: "since the arrangement is simple, the number of senior officials is a little controlled, only the important officials of Jiangdong are invited to participate in the birthday celebration, and the county magistrate and officials below are not involved in this birthday banquet."


    Sun Quan said: "Mr. Zhang, you are in charge of government affairs, and you are in charge of everything. All in all, it''s easy. "


    Zhang Zhao said, "is it necessary for me to prepare the gift from my lord?"


    Sun Quan said, "you don''t have to worry about gifts."


    Zhang Zhao was even more relaxed. To be responsible for such a birthday banquet is even simpler for Zhang Zhao, and does not need to spend too much energy.


    Sun Quan said, "it''s dark now. Let''s go back and have a rest."


    Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and Lu Su got up and left with tired bodies. When I discussed things before, I was in high spirits and didn''t feel tired. As soon as I got out of the study, I felt yawning and drooping eyelids.


    Sun Quan went out of his study and did not rush back to his bedroom. He went to sun Shangxiang''s yard.


    At the gate of the yard stood soldiers armed with knives. Seeing Sun Quan coming, the soldiers hastened to salute. Sun Quan nodded slightly and stepped into the yard. It was late at night, and the oil lamp in the bedroom was still on.


    Seeing that Sun Quan was coming, the servant girl quickly welcomed him and saluted respectfully.


    Sun Quan asked, "is my little sister asleep?"


    The servant girl shook her head and said, "not yet."


    Sun Quan waved, went to the bedroom, knocked on the door, said: "little sister, it''s me."


    Sun Shangxiang said, "the door is not bolted."


    Sun Quan pushed hard, opened the door and strode in. At this time, sun Shangxiang is wiping his sword. Under the light of the yellow oil lamp, the body of the sword was bright and cold.


    "Liu Xiu arrived in Jiangdong today."


    Sun Quan sat down and said his first sentence.


    Sun Shangxiang lowered his head, did not look at Sun Quan, light way: "I know."


    Sun Quan narrowed his eyes and said: "today, I observed Liu Xiu. He is a talented person who is good at literature and martial arts. If you marry him, you''re a talented woman. "


    Sun Shangxiang said, "he has a place in his heart. He won''t marry me."


    Sun Quan sneered and said, "he said that he would not marry, but he has come to Jiangdong, which has already told his meaning of getting married. Little sister, marriage is not decided by who comes first. What you catch is your happiness. What you can''t catch is not your happiness. As for whether he has a place in his heart, as long as you are gentle and considerate, Liu Xiu will definitely like you. Men, aren''t they animals that like the new and dislike the old? "


    Sun Shangxiang sneered: "second brother also likes the new and dislikes the old?"


    Sun Quan nodded and said, "second brother really likes the new and dislikes the old, so you can see that there are several wives and concubines of second brother. Younger sister, marry Liu Xiu first, and Liu Xiu is yours. "


    Sun Shangxiang said, "if I don''t come, I''m afraid my second brother will be disappointed."


    Sun Quan saw that sun Shangxiang was still a muscle, and said: "little sister, the matter has come to this point, it can''t be changed. Think about it for yourself. Once you repent of marriage, Jiangdong will be the target of thousands of people. When the time comes, my father''s foundation and my elder brother''s efforts will all go down the drain. People all over the world will accuse the sun family of Jiangdong of saying things without believing them. "


    Sun Shangxiang''s expression froze, his face showed a pale look.


    "Ah


    She gave a low cry, but in a moment of absence, her finger was scratched on the blade.


    Sun Quan grabbed sun Shangxiang''s hand, took the white cloth to the bag, and said earnestly: "little sister, the second brother is also for you. You may blame the second brother now, but in the future, you won''t regret today''s decision. It''s your happiness. We must seize it. It''s a good choice to marry Liu Xiu this time. "


    Sun Shangxiang sat in a daze. What reverberated in his mind was the problem of Sun Quan''s family foundation. The efforts of her father and elder brother and the efforts of her second brother are not what she would like to see if her willfulness leads to turbulence in Jiangdong.Sun Quan comforted sun Shangxiang and left.


    From sun Shangxiang''s expression, he knew that sun Shangxiang had wavered.

 Chapter 179

    The next morning, Liu Xiu got up early, washed and ate breakfast, then took wenpin out of the restaurant. Today is October 21. It''s seven days before the wedding. But October 25th is the birthday of Wu Guotai, and Liu Xiu must begin to prepare.


    Two people take carriage, inquiring to go to market line.


    When they came to a jade shop, Liu Xiu and wenpin went in. Liu Xiu didn''t think about what to give Wu Guotai as a birthday present. When he came across the jade, he came in to have a look.


    In the shop, jade bracelets, jade Ruyi, or jade Buddhas are put in order.


    Liu Xiu carefully selected, but also in the constant choice.


    After all, this is the first time to see Wu Guotai. Liu Xiu is not willing to lose Jingzhou''s face.


    Liu Xiu looked carefully, picked and picked, and finally chose a jade Buddha. This jade Buddha is a Maitreya with a big belly. It''s polished very well and its workmanship is very fine.


    The shopkeeper saw Liu Xiu staring at the Jade Buddha and knew that the buyer was coming. He immediately came up to greet him.


    "Young master, this jade Buddha is the best in the shop. It''s not only good for selling pictures and moral, but also because after dark, as long as there is light shining, there is a Buddha word in the body of the Jade Buddha. This is the strangest part. "


    The shopkeeper was not distinguished by Liu Xiu. He took the Buddha statue and took Liu Xiu to the back yard. Came to the room, closed the window, and then lit the oil lamp. Light down, the Buddha''s chest, a Buddha word looming out. This Buddha character is formed by the variegation of jade inside the Buddha statue, which forms the Buddha character very skillfully.


    in this way, the value of the Buddha statue is virtually increased.


    Liu Xiu looked at it with a look of appreciation in his eyes.


    The shopkeeper looked at Liu Xiu and said in a low voice, "young master, I''ve seen the Buddha statue. There''s another person who wants to see you. Please move a little. Then, this statue of Buddha will be given to you for free. "


    Wenpin Wenyan stands in front of Liu Xiu to protect his safety.


    The shopkeeper said with a smile: "please rest assured, general Zhongye. I have no malice towards you. Someone just wants to see you."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed even more. Unexpectedly, he met this kind of thing in the market. It seems that the water in Jiangdong is more turbid and deeper than he imagined.


    "Lead the way!"


    Liu Xiu waved. He also wanted to see the people behind the scenes.


    "Please follow me!"


    The shopkeeper took Liu Xiu and wenpin out of the room, bypassed the front yard, entered the backyard, and came to a house. Standing outside, the shopkeeper knocked on the door and said, "young master, Mr. Liu is here."


    "Please


    The voice in the room, clear voice with a trace of hoarseness.


    The shopkeeper pushed open the door, waved his hand and said, "two, please come inside." When Liu Xiu and wenpin enter the room, the shopkeeper closes the door and quietly waits in the yard.


    In the room sat a young man in his early twenties. He was wearing a black robe and a silk scarf, tasting tea. He is not old, but his eyes show, but has a different age of calm and vicissitudes.


    This man is not simple!


    Liu Xiu saw the youth''s first sight and drew a conclusion in his heart.


    It''s extraordinary to look at people and their temperament.


    "Mr. Liu, please sit down!"


    When the young man spoke, his temperament was as gentle as jade, giving people the feeling of a gentleman.


    Liu Xiu stared at the young man, but he felt very familiar with him. He must have met the people in front of him, but he had no impression. All of a sudden, Liu Xiunao suddenly said with a smile: "yesterday afternoon, you participated in welcoming me. You also participated in the evening banquet. It''s just that you haven''t spoken all the time and are sitting at the end of the table. "


    There were too many people yesterday. The people Liu Xiu knew most were Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Yu fan, bu Gu, Ling Tong and others. As for many other people, Liu Xiu was not familiar with them, but he was familiar with them.


    If you don''t impress, you will soon forget.


    With a look of admiration, the young man raised his mouth and said, "young master Xiu never forgets, which is admirable. Last night, I didn''t speak. Unexpectedly, master Xiu recognized me. If you had known that, you should have covered your face. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "since you are not masked, you naturally have the strength to be masked. But, sir, you are waiting for me in your room. Are you so sure that I will come? "


    The young man looked confident and said, "last night, Zhuge Jin went to see Mr. Liu. When he heard about Zhuge Liang last night, he would certainly ask about Zhuge Liang. "


    "Mr. Liu was born in Jingzhou and is familiar with Zhuge Liang."


    "After you tell Zhuge Jin about Zhuge''s family, Zhuge Jin will tell you about the 25th birthday party. When Mr. Liu knows the birthday of his father''s mother, he must prepare a gift. "


    "The biggest market in Wu county is in this area."


    The young man said with a smile: "my Lord''s mother likes to worship Buddhism. I''m sure Mr. Liu will come to visit us. And even if you don''t come to the jade shop, you can easily find Mr. Liu in this area. So I just have to wait. No, Mr. Liu is really here. My judgment is correct. "When Liu Xiu heard the speech, his expression became solemn. From this trace, the other party even infers his whereabouts. If the other party''s intention is really wrong, Liu Xiu will surely fall into ambush.


    Liu Xiu took a deep breath, arched his hand and said, "may I ask your name?"


    The young man replied, "Jiangdong Lu is inferior to Lu Boyan!"


    "Lu Xun, Lu Boyan?" Liu Xiu was surprised that the young man in front of him was Lu Xun. This general, who burned hundreds of thousands of Liu Bei''s troops, took the initiative to find him.


    Lu Xun said, "does Mr. Liu know Lu Xun, too?"


    Liu said: "who doesn''t know about the Lu family in Jiangdong? However, in the past, sun CE led the army to conquer the Lujiang River, resulting in the death of Lu Kang and heavy losses to the Lu family. But it''s really sad that the Lu family finally became an official of the sun family. "


    Lu Xun''s eyes were cold.


    Lu Xun has always remembered his hatred for the past.


    Lu Xun''s father died early. When he was young, he followed his uncle Lu Kang with his younger brother Lu Mao. Sun CE attacked Lujiang and Lujiang County fell into war. Lu Kang vowed to defend Lujiang, but sent his son Lu Ji, Lu Xun and Lu Mao back to their hometown in Wuxian County, Wujun county. As a result, Lu Xun and others survived, but most of the Lu family in Lujiang County died in the war.


    After Sun Quan took charge of Jiangdong, he attached great importance to the Lu family, but he could not let Lu Xun down.


    Liu Xiu looked at Lu Xun''s words, saw the hatred in his eyes, knew that Lu Xun might be a breakthrough, and said slowly, "brother Boyan, take this opportunity to see me. What''s the matter?"


    Lu Xun said: "to find Mr. Liu is to tell you a piece of news."


    "What''s the news?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Lu Xun said: "on October 28, after you meet, Sun Quan will not let you go. He will hold a wedding for you in Jiangdong and detain you. At the same time, Sun Quan is going to attack Changsha County. "


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, his expression became dignified.


    Wenpin stares at Lu Xun, his eyes are very serious. The news is too important.


    Liu xiudao: "brother Boyan, are you sure of the news?"


    Lu Xun took a sip of tea and said, "if you want to believe it, it''s true. If you don''t want to believe it, it''s fake. I''m just telling you the news. The rest is up to you. "


    Liu Xiu changed his words and asked, "brother Boyan, did you ever want to be an official in Jingzhou?"


    "Does Jingzhou work for Liu Biao?" Lu Xun shook his head and said, "it''s hard for Liu Biao to guard Jingzhou, the dog guarding his home."


    "Not for Jingzhou, but for me," Liu said


    Lu Xun laughed, and said in a loud voice: "young master Xiu has great ambition, but there is a saying that his heart is higher than heaven, and his life is thinner than paper. Not to mention that xiugongzi is only the magistrate of a county, and the dilemma you are facing now may make you trapped in the shoal. If you have any idea, let''s wait until you get out of the present predicament. "


    After listening, Liu Xiu understood. Now to attract Lu Xun, his strength is not enough.


    Liu Xiu got up and said, "thank you for reminding me. I''ll keep it in mind and say goodbye."


    After that, Liu Xiu left the room with wenpin. When the shopkeeper in the yard saw Liu Xiu, he quickly welcomed him, handed the wrapped Jade Buddha to Liu Xiu, and took Liu Xiu back to the front yard as if nothing had happened.

 Chapter 180

    Back to the restaurant, wenpin sat down in Liu Xiu''s room.


    Wen pin was worried and said, "young master, Sun Quan is going to detain us. The situation is very bad. Why don''t you run out of Wu County before it''s time to meet your relatives? "


    Without waiting for Liu Xiu to speak, Wen pin quickly said, "the time to flee may also be on the 25th, the birthday of Wu. You can use the birthday of Wu as a cover up."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "general Zhongye, when we arrived in Wu County, we were already monitored by Sun Quan. Every move is followed. When I went out to the jade shop today, didn''t I find anyone following me? It''s just that when they enter the jade shop, it''s not convenient for them to follow. They are all blocked outside the jade shop. "


    Wenpin looked shocked, and his face showed an incredible look.


    Liu Xiu continued: "whether it''s running away now or on the 25th, there''s not much chance of a successful escape, because you can''t fish in troubled waters."


    "Most importantly, Sun Quan has not revealed his intention to detain me now."


    "The news we get is from Lu Xun."


    "In the absence of any evidence that Sun Quan will detain us and run away without authorization, the final result will be Jingzhou''s unilateral repentance of marriage. After the news is sent back to Jingzhou, the first one to get angry is his father, and I will face his anger."


    Liu Xiu said: "even if I said that Sun Quan would be detained, my father would not believe it. After all, it is the face of Jingzhou that is hurt by repentance. Therefore, if we want to withdraw, we must wait until the time when we meet our relatives before planning to leave. The responsibility of escape can only be shirked on Sun Quan, who bears the blame. "


    After hearing this, wenpin''s expression was more dignified and said, "young master, we are now in tiger''s den. The longer we stay in Wu County, the more unfavorable it will be for us."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "today is October 21. There are still seven days to go before the wedding. Although these seven days are a little long, they can be used as our preparation time. It''s good to come early. On the wedding day, you can prepare to leave. "


    At this time, Liu Xiu''s heart is more steadfast.


    Before he came here, Liu Xiu was worried about not only the danger of meeting his relatives, but also that marrying sun Shangxiang would affect his relationship with Huang Yueying, and it was difficult to explain to Huang Yueying.


    If sun Shangxiang repents or runs away from his marriage, Liu Xiu fails to get married and returns to Jingzhou for a good job, so he can face Huang Yueying. Once sun Shangxiang obeyed Sun Quan and married, Liu Xiu was in a dilemma.


    Now Sun Quan decided to detain him, which means that Liu Xiu has room to operate. Liu Xiu ran away, which is the right thing, but resolved the embarrassment of marriage.


    Wenpin looked depressed and said, "it''s not easy to evacuate. Wu county is Sun Quan''s hometown."


    Liu xiudao: "no matter how difficult it is, it must be arranged."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "general Zhongye, there are three things that need to be done first. These things may involve people and forces in Wu County. "


    Wenpin said, "please tell me."


    Liu Xiuse said: "first, I need a map of the county seat of Wu County and a map of the distribution of troops in Wu County; second The third thing Generally speaking, if the three things are completed, the framework of our escape will have a general direction. And then from the details of one by one to correct. In a word, plan to leave from today. "


    Wen pin nodded and said, "don''t worry, sir. The map of the county and the distribution of troops will be completed in the shortest time."


    Having determined the direction, wenpin, though uneasy, has the backbone.


    Wenpin was busy outside all afternoon. As for those who follow wenpin, it depends on their ability to keep up. Liu Xiu believes in wenpin''s martial arts, so it''s not difficult to get rid of a few followers.


    At night, wenpin came back.


    Wenpin went into Liu Xiu''s room and told the soldiers to guard outside the door. He also temporarily took down the two rooms next to the room to avoid having ears.


    He took out a piece of parchment from his arms and spread it out on the desk. Wenpin said, "young master, this is the map of the county."


    Liu Xiu put the lamp closer and looked at it carefully.


    Within the city of Wu County, the county government and the government are very close to each other, both of which are in the northeast of the county. The garrison of Wu county is located in the south of the city, very close to the south gate. As Wuxian county is surrounded by rivers, there are two wharves at the north gate and the south gate respectively for boating.


    Liu Xiu stared at the map and calculated carefully.


    One plan after another gradually took shape in Liu Xiu''s mind, forming a comprehensive plan. After a long time, Liu Xiu put away the parchment map and said, "general Zhongye, start the second step. From now until the 28th, the situation in Wu County will be disrupted step by step. "


    "I understand!"


    Wen pin nodded and his eyes were shining.


    ¡­¡­


    Taishou mansion, study.


    Lu Su sat in his room and reported: "Lord, Liu Xiu went to the jade shop today and bought a jade Buddha. It seems that he already knows about the old lady''s birthday. "


    Sun Quan snorted and said in a deep voice: "last night Zhuge Jin visited Liu Xiu. It should be Zhuge Jin who revealed the news. However, mother''s birthday, itself is irrelevant news, no impactThat said, Sun Quan''s eyes were cold.


    When it comes to Jiangdong, Zhuge Jin tells Liu Xiu that no matter whether the news is important or not, it is not appropriate.


    Lu Su changed his words and said: "there was another incident this afternoon. Wenpin left the restaurant with people. The people who followed wenpin lost them. When it was almost dark, wenpin appeared again and went back to the restaurant. What wenpin did during this period is unknown. "


    Sun Quan squinted and said, "when Liu Xiu arrives in Wu County, he won''t wait to die."


    Lu Su said: "the humble idea is whether to send a team of soldiers to control Liu Xiu''s action and forbid them to go out."


    Sun Quan said, "do you mean Liu Xiu is under house arrest?"


    Lu Su nodded, he is going to house arrest Liu Xiu. Lu Su is very afraid of Liu Xiu, hoping to control Liu Xiu 100% and avoid Liu Xiu''s appearance.


    Sun Quan suddenly laughed and waved, "Zijing, you are too careful."


    Lu Su said, "my Lord, this is a precaution."


    Sun Quan shook his head and said, "it''s the utmost to prohibit Liu Xiu from leaving Wu County. If Liu Xiu''s scope of action is further narrowed or Liu Xiu is under house arrest, the news will not have a good impact on Jiangdong. "


    Lu Su thought, you are going to detain Liu Xiu, but what influence?


    Of course, Lu Su would not say that.


    Lu Su said, "my Lord, I just think Liu Xiu is very dangerous and must be treated with caution."


    Sun Quan said: "Liu Xiu has talent and ability, but people in Jiangdong are not ordinary people. Whether you are Lu Zijing, Gong Jin or Zhang Zhao, you are all talented people. Do so many people need to be afraid of a Liu Xiu? "


    After a pause, Sun Quan said: "Liu Xiu was detained in Jiangdong because he was worried that Liu Xiu''s return to Changsha would affect the situation. As for Liu Xiu in Jiangdong, I don''t even have the confidence to control him. What else can I do? He will do whatever he wants in the city. If I don''t believe it, Liu Xiu will be able to turn the clouds, cover the rain. "


    Strong self-confidence, from Sun Quan''s face. As the helmsman in charge of Jiangdong, Sun Quan detained Liu Xiu in Wu County, so he had enough confidence to make Liu Xiu unable to turn over the waves.


    After listening to this, Lu Su sighed in his heart and said, "since the Lord has made a decision, his humble position will not interfere."


    Sun Quan nodded slightly, looking confident.


    Lu Su asked again, "my Lord, how did she think about Shangxiang''s marriage?" Before, Sun Quan mentioned sun Shangxiang''s unwillingness to get married. As time approached, Lu Su was also worried.


    Sun Quan said, "it''s done. It''s not a big problem."


    Lu Su said: "now that it''s all right, everything will be arranged. The old lady''s 25th birthday, just can arrange Shangxiang and Liu Xiu contact, enhance their feelings. To detain Liu Xiu in Jiangdong, women are the biggest fetters. If Shangxiang is able to give birth to a child and a half after they are married, Liu Xiu will be more difficult to deal with if he has a fetter. "


    Sun Quan laughed and said, "Zijing, your consideration is really long-term. Ha ha, I also hope that after they get married, they can have children as soon as possible. Then, Liu Xiu can no longer get rid of the relationship with Jiangdong. "


    Two people discuss, to late at night, Lu Su just leave.

 Chapter 181

    Wu County, county government.


    The county magistrate Yuan Heng has been in charge of Wu County for five years. After Sun Quan took charge of Jiangdong, Yuan Heng came into Sun Quan''s sight and was appointed county magistrate and became Sun Quan''s confidant.


    Just this morning, a homicide case was handed to Yuan Heng''s desk.


    In the case, a businessman died at home.


    The dead businessmen were officials and businessmen in Jiangdong. Whether they were important or not, whether they were light or not. Because they were officials and businessmen closely related to Jiangdong, Yuanheng had to check and deal with them carefully. He looked through the traces of the investigation at the scene, as well as the examination he had made, and concluded that it was murder.


    But there was no killer.


    Now is about to usher in Wu Guotai''s birthday, Wu county has this kind of murder, Yuan Heng''s mood is a mess. He ordered a thorough investigation. There was no trace.


    In less than half a day, the news of the merchant being killed suddenly spread in the county. It''s even more rumored that the businessman is only the first one to be killed, and there will be others to be killed next.


    The news made Yuan Heng nervous.


    Can be nervous to nervous, Yuan Heng is still like a headless fly, can not find the direction to start. In desperation, Yuanheng had to strengthen the patrol and increase the strength of the investigation.


    On October 23, another merchant was killed in the west of the city.


    The dead businessman, whose identity is different from before, is a unscrupulous businessman. The people applauded his death without much reaction. But Yuanheng is a father and mother officer. There are two homicide cases under his rule, and his heart is heavy.


    Yuan Heng didn''t even return home. He stayed in the county government and arranged for someone to check the information.


    However, there has been no clue. When Yuanheng was in a mess, the news came out again that the killing would continue. Yuan Heng was even more nervous.


    Two people were killed in a row. He was a county magistrate who had no clue. It was dereliction of duty.


    Wu County governor Zhu Zhi also got the news, directly called Yuan Heng to the Yamen.


    Zhu Zhi is about 50 years old, with white face and short beard, which makes people feel very kind. However, those who are familiar with Zhu Zhi know that Zhu Zhi''s method of dealing with affairs is firm and decisive, and he always shows others with a cold face.


    Yuan Heng stood at the bottom, a moment of uneasiness in his heart.


    Zhu Zhi asked: "two people have been killed in a row. Have you found any information?"


    Yuan Heng shook his head and said, "I have not found any trace of my dereliction of duty so far. Please come down." He also had all kinds of headaches, almost approaching the birthday of Wu Guotai, but things were getting worse and worse, and there was no sign of stopping.


    Zhu Zhi said: "the assassination incident has aroused the idea of the Lord, seize the time to solve the case."


    Yuan Heng looked up at Zhu Zhi and said, "my Lord, things are complicated. I''m afraid it''s difficult to solve the case within three or two days. Can we give more time


    "If you can''t, I''ll get someone else."


    Zhu Zhi''s eyes narrowed, and there was a chill in them.


    Yuan Heng can''t help shivering, immediately said: "please don''t worry, your humble position must be found out." When it comes to his official hat, whether he can solve the case or not, he will agree to the matter first and then consider it.


    Back to the county yamen, Yuan Heng sighed for a while. He urged the Yamen officers to investigate and verify the information himself.


    Early in the morning on December 24.


    A yamen servant rushed to Yuanheng''s study in a hurry and knocked on the door. "My Lord, it''s not good. It''s not good."


    In the study, Yuan Heng didn''t go back to his room for a rest all night. When he was sleepy, he lay down for a while, and then continued to read the data of the two cases. At dawn, I was so sleepy that I fell asleep on the desk.


    A quick knock on the door awakened Yuan Heng.


    Yuan Heng heard the voice of the Yamen servant, and he thought, is there another homicide?


    Open the door, Yuan Heng asked: "what happened?"


    The Yamen servant replied, "this morning, my lord hanged himself."


    Brush!


    Yuan Heng''s face became very pale in an instant.


    In the beginning, the merchant was killed, but now it has evolved into the killing of the chief clerk, which has affected the officialdom of Wu County, and the situation is even more serious. Yuan Heng Lian said hastily, "have you checked it out? What''s the matter? Why did the master suddenly commit suicide? "


    "No, my Lord!"


    At this time, the county magistrate rushed in again.


    The county magistrate came to Yuanheng and said in a loud voice, "my Lord, there''s news in the city that the death of the two merchants and the master is due to Wu County''s being haunted. It''s God''s punishment to Jiangdong."


    "Gudong!"


    Yuan Heng couldn''t help swallowing his saliva, and his heart was shocked.


    From the beginning of the assassination, it gradually involved the sun family in Jiangdong, and the situation was very serious. Without any hesitation, he went straight to Zhu Zhi''s office.


    When he arrived at the yamen, Yuan Heng saw Zhu Zhi and said, "my Lord, the latest rumor about this serial homicide case is that ghosts and gods want to punish Jiangdong. From this conclusion, this is not the so-called homicide, but someone behind the scenes manipulates the situation and intends to disturb Jiangdong."Zhu Zhi nodded and said, "I have learned the latest news. Go to appease the people. Don''t stir up a popular uprising. Try to calm down the situation."


    "No!"


    Yuan Heng nodded, turned and stepped back.


    Although things are getting more and more serious, Yuan Heng feels that the burden on his shoulders is much lighter and there is no pressure before. If it is a simple homicide, this case is something that his magistrate must deal with. Now it involves the stability of Jiangdong, which needs Sun Quan to solve, and Yuanheng''s energy is difficult to deal with.


    Zhu Zhi went out of the prefect''s house and soon arrived at the house of Wu Marquis Sun Quan.


    Sun Quan did not know the latest news, asked: "Jun Li, serial homicide cases, found out the results?"


    Zhu Zhi said, "yes, but it''s bad news."


    Sun Quan picked his eyebrows and said, "what''s the matter?"


    Zhu Zhi replied: "early this morning, Wu county chief hanged himself at home. At the same time, it is said that the killing of the two merchants and the chief bookkeeper was not caused by human beings, but by ghosts and gods. People say that the reason why ghosts and gods do this is to punish Jiangdong. It is Jiangdong who has done something wrong. Lord, this is for you. "


    Sun Quan slapped his hand on the desk and said, "who dares to be so bold and who has so much energy?"


    Anger grew out of Sun Quan''s heart.


    "Da! Dada


    A rapid sound of footsteps came from outside the hall.


    Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and Lu Su came together with a dignified look on their faces.


    After the ceremony, Zhang Zhao sat down and said, "Lord, behind the serial homicide, it''s not easy. According to the latest news, it is Xu Gong who killed the three people, and Xu Gong''s ghost has come back for revenge. "


    Sun Quan''s eyebrows were very dark. He said in a deep voice: "thorough investigation, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. Zhu Zhi, mobilize the garrison of Wu County, block the four gates, and thoroughly investigate one by one. It''s a coincidence that Xu Gong has been dead for so many years, but he has come at this time. "


    Sun Quan didn''t believe in the so-called theory of ghosts and gods.


    Zhu Zhi said: "Lord, don''t worry. I will try my best to verify it."


    Zhang Zhao, with a serious expression, said: "Lord, I read the relevant information and sent someone to inquire about it. I found that the Lu family in Wu county had made some moves and there were signs of fueling the flames. However, there is no evidence that the Lu family is directly involved. "


    Sun Quan''s eyes were even colder when he heard the speech.


    Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "in addition to the Lu family, some aristocratic families in Jiangdong have also made some moves. In addition, Liu Xiu frequently sent wenpin, also in positive action. However, these people are spreading rumors and disturbing the situation. It is not clear who is behind the scenes. "


    Lu Su said: "this is not a simple murder, but a premeditated attempt to disturb the stability of Jiangdong. Today''s Wuxian county is in turmoil, and the situation is very bad. "


    Sun Quan clenched his fist and thought quickly in his brain.


    "Who? Who is it? "


    Sun Quan''s mind, stay in the body of Liu Xiu. He doubted Liu Xiu because he was also active. But Liu Xiu just arrived in Wuxian County, there was no such great energy to cause death without leaving clues.


    Soon, Sun Quan ruled out Liu Xiu.


    Sun Quan took a deep breath and said, "we must thoroughly investigate this matter as soon as possible and give an account to the people. Tomorrow is my mother''s birthday. I don''t want anything to happen tomorrow. "


    "No!"


    When people get orders, their hearts are heavy.


    The simple homicide, mixed with the actions of the major families in Jiangdong, and the talk of ghosts and gods, made the whole city stormy, making the situation very complicated.

 Chapter 182

    Restaurant, room.


    In recent days, Wu county has been in chaos, people are in a panic, and officials are in a panic.


    Wenpin has a smile in his eyes, especially excited. Looking at Liu Xiu with admiration, he said: "the young master''s clever plan, a little provocation, has easily caused unrest in Wu County. It seems that many people are dissatisfied with Sun Quan."


    Liu Xiu said: "the first reason for Jingzhou''s success is that it has spies and strength in Wu County, so it can know every move of Wu County and set off a storm. The second reason is that it owes to sun CE, who killed too many aristocratic people in Wu County, especially Xu Gong. After Xu Gong died for so many years, there are still people loyal to him. Third, thanks to Lu Xun''s disturbance of the situation, Jiangdong''s aristocratic family is not clear after the Lu family''s attack, so they have been involved in it one after another, and the present situation has emerged. "


    Wen pin nodded and said: "even so, if there is no childe to lead, everything will be difficult to succeed."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "general Zhongye, you praise me too much."


    Wenpin said, "next, what shall we do?"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "don''t move for the time being. Tomorrow is the time to celebrate your birthday. When it''s time to meet you, we can make the next plan."


    "No!"


    Wen pin nodded and went out of Liu Xiu''s room.


    ¡­¡­


    Lu family, study.


    Lu Xun, Lu Mao and Lu Ji sat opposite each other.


    Lu Ji is 20 years old, younger than Lu Xun and the same age as Lu Mao. But he was Lu Kang''s son in his later years. Although he was young, he grew up with Lu Xun and Lu Mao.


    Lu Ji stares at Lu Xun and says, "Bo Yan, is it dangerous for the Lu family to get involved in Liu Xiu''s behind the scenes planning?"


    Lu Ji''s resentment towards the sun family is deeper.


    Lu Ji, Lu Kang''s son, witnessed his father''s death in Lujiang River. His hatred has never been resolved. The reason why they submit to the sun family is that the sun family is so powerful that it is impossible for the Lu family to compete. Otherwise, the Lu family would have done it long ago.


    Lu Xun said with a big smile: "Sun Quan is afraid of the Lu family. Even if he knows that the Lu family is involved, he will be more afraid. And this time, we just add fuel to the flames and spread the news without any action. So, uncle, don''t worry, there will be no problem. "


    Lu Mao''s eyes were excited and said: "the situation in Wu county is turbulent. If the sun family is destroyed, it would be great."


    "That''s impossible," Lu said


    The reason why Lu Xun knew that Liu Xiu was behind the scenes was that he told Liu Xiu that he could not leave Jiangdong. After the successive murders, the situation in Wu County was turbulent and chaotic. Lu Xun concluded that it was Liu Xiu.


    As for the other families, I don''t know who is behind the scenes. These families, once subjected to sun CE''s bloody suppression, all have a knot in their heart. Seeing the Lu family move, they all move like beasts smelling fishy smell.


    As a result, the situation is getting worse and worse.


    ¡­¡­


    October 25, sunny. In the cold winter, it is rare to have good sunshine. Bathing in the sun, the whole person is very comfortable.


    Marquis Wu''s mansion has been decorated in the early morning.


    Inside and outside the house, people come and go, making the atmosphere more lively.


    Zhang Zhao came to the mansion early and arranged the birthday party. Qiao Xuan, Daqiao''s father, also came. Although sun CE died and Daqiao was widowed, the relationship between Qiao Xuan and the sun family is still closely maintained. In addition, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others also arrived early to celebrate their birthday.


    Sun Quan''s legitimate officials, as well as those who had a close relationship with the sun family, arrived.


    Liu xiulai''s time was about midnight. By the time he arrived, all the main counsellors and generals of Jiangdong had arrived. Liu Xiu gave the birthday gift to the registered person and went straight to the mansion.


    Lu Su arranged things in the front hall. When he saw Liu Xiu, he came up with a smile, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Liu, I''m waiting for you. Let''s go to the hall. "


    Take Liu Xiu and go straight to the hall.


    In the hall, people were chatting and laughing. Wu Guotai, the birthday girl, sat on the top of the hall and accepted the congratulations.


    In his late fifties, Wu was born with a kind face. When she talked with her relatives at home, she noticed the young people who came with Lu su. Wu Guotai''s eyes passed by sun Shangxiang. Seeing that sun Shangxiang''s expression was tense, she understood it in her heart.


    "The sword eyebrows enter the temples, the eyes are clear, the nose is bold, and the face is firm and steady. He is really a handsome young man."


    Wu looked around and had a very good first impression.


    Lu Su brought Liu Xiu forward and said respectfully, "old lady, this is Liu Xiu in Jingzhou."


    Liu Xiu bowed his hands and said humbly and respectfully, "I''ve met the old lady, younger Liu Xiu." His every move, behavior is appropriate, not humble, very comfortable.


    Rao is Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao and others, also can not pick out the thorn.


    Wu Guotai said with a smile: "good, good, good young hero. Xiang''er, take Liu Xiu around. "


    "Well!"


    Sun Shangxiang stood up and left with Liu Xiu.


    People''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu and sun Shangxiang, and they praised each other.All kinds of words into sun Shangxiang''s ears, let Sun Shangxiang''s face a little more faint red.


    Sometimes, because of choice and dilemma, once determined, but more relaxed. Sun Shangxiang returned to Jiangdong with the idea of repentance, but repentance will affect Jiangdong, and he is in a dilemma. Under the pressure of Sun Quan, she had to accept the decision to marry Liu Xiu. After the decision, she felt better and didn''t have to suffer.


    Under the eyes of the people, they went out of the hall to the back yard.


    Backyard, pavilion.


    They sat down, but they were very embarrassed.


    Once upon a time, Liu Xiu beat sun Shangxiang with his sword skill, and sun Shangxiang was beaten to pieces. Once, Liu Xiu set a trap and captured sun Shangxiang. Now, instead of sitting together, Liu Xiu has become the party to greet the bride.


    Sun Shangxiang pursed his lips and said, "don''t you have anything to say?"


    Liu Xiu said, "miss Shangxiang, do you still count the things that were agreed at the beginning?"


    In a word, sun Shangxiang''s face turned pale. What was originally agreed was that she escaped and repented of her marriage? Sun Shangxiang took a deep breath and said slowly, "I have agreed to the marriage. I will not escape or repent."


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he picked his sword eyebrows.


    Sure enough, sun Shangxiang is unreliable. Under the operation of Sun Quan and Jiangdong counsellors, it is impossible for sun Shangxiang to insist on his own opinion. Three or two times, I was persuaded.


    Sun Shangxiang asked, "are you disappointed?"


    Liu Xiu said: "a little bit!"


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "but I can''t blame you for this. It''s cruel to let a woman repent and escape from marriage. It''s all right, it''s all right. "


    Sun Shangxiang frowned and couldn''t understand Liu Xiu''s mind.


    Liu xiuxin has his own family, but now, it seems that he has accepted the arrangement of greeting his relatives. Is it because he has also succumbed to Liu Biao''s arrangement? Sun Shangxiang thought about it and said, "how can you explain to the person you like when you agree to get married and go back to Jingzhou?"


    Liu Xiu said: "step by step, step by step, the boat will go straight to the bridge."


    In the face of sun Shangxiang, Liu Xiu can''t tell the real plan. Just as Sun Quan didn''t tell sun Shangxiang to detain Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu now can''t tell sun Shangxiang that he will plot to escape when he meets his relatives.


    All this is still in the dark.


    They chatted intermittently, without any tacit understanding at all.


    The content of the chat is also shriveled.


    Not long after, your servants came to inform us that they were going to celebrate Wu Guotai''s birthday. The two returned to the front hall, and then arrived at Wu Hou Fu officials or sun family relatives, one after another to Wu Guotai birthday.


    The atmosphere was warm and the scene was very harmonious.


    Liu Xiu took part in it. When he should celebrate, he would celebrate. When he should toast, he would toast. Everything was very appropriate. Liu Xiu''s every move, in the eyes of Wu Guotai, is calm and appropriate, and his speech and manner are appropriate.


    In particular, Liu Xiu talked freely with Zhou Yu, Lu Su and other talented people, which made Wu more satisfied.


    After the banquet, after the toast, Wu Guotai looks at Qiao Xuan at the same table and asks for his opinions. Qiao Xuan also praises Liu Xiu, saying that Liu Xiu is a young hero, and Wu Guotai is even more happy.


    On this day, there was no overt and covert fighting at the banquet, only harmonious celebration. After dinner in the evening, when the crowd dispersed, Liu Xiu was able to leave Marquis Wu''s residence and return to his temporary restaurant.

 Chapter 183

    The news of the killing of the merchant and the master is still brewing.


    On the surface, the waves are calm, but they are already turbulent.


    Jiangdong government has been tracking down, but has not found any information. Both Zhu Zhi, the governor of Wu County, and Yuan Heng, the magistrate of Wu County, are filled with anger, not to mention Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu.


    All eyes are on this murder.


    On October 27, the day before the wedding, it was overcast.


    Early in the morning, Liu Xiu put on a brand-new black robe, and his hair was carefully arranged. After breakfast, Liu Xiu took wenpin and took a carriage to the house of marquis Wu.


    At home, Liu Xiu waited in the hall after the announcement.


    After a while, Sun Quan came to the hall and said with a smile, "is it looking for my younger sister when my younger brother comes to your house?"


    Liu Xiu said: "monk Xiang has some relationship with her. Tomorrow is the 28th day to greet her. I''ve come to see my brother to confirm the wedding time. Tomorrow morning, I''ll take people to meet them outside the Yamen. "


    Sun Quan''s expression gradually cooled down.


    There was a look of embarrassment on his face.


    Looking at Sun Quan''s affectation, Liu Xiu said, "Marquis Wu, have you encountered any difficulties?" Seeing Sun Quan''s expression, Liu Xiu knew that both sides were about to tear their skin, and the address changed accordingly.


    Sun Quan said, "to be honest, the situation has changed."


    Liu Xiu had already known what it was, but he pretended not to know. He pretended to be angry and said, "could it be that Jiangdong is going to regret his marriage. At first, it was Jiangdong who asked for marriage. Now it is Jiangdong who wants to repent. Marquis Wu, it''s a good method. "


    Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "my dear brother, I have misunderstood. Jiangdong has never thought of repenting. I, Sun Quan, will never allow such a thing to happen. "


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "since he doesn''t want to repent, why does Marquis Wu look embarrassed. Or marquis Wu is not willing to repent of marriage, but miss Shang Xiang has already had her own heart and doesn''t want to marry me. "


    Sun Quan shook his head and said, "it''s not like that either."


    "What does that mean?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes showed anger.


    This scene fell in Sun Quan''s eyes. Instead, Sun Quan felt at ease. He thought that Liu Xiu had not noticed Jiangdong''s intention until now.


    At this time, Liu Xiu thought to himself, "Sun Quan, I''ll give you peace of mind first, so that you don''t doubt me."


    Sun Quan and Liu Xiu have their own ideas.


    Seeing Sun Quan''s delay, Liu Xiu once again said, "Marquis Wu, if you don''t give an explanation, Jingzhou will not give up.". Although Jingzhou is not so overbearing as Cao Cao, it is not bullied by others. "


    Sun Quan sighed: "the most important reason is that the old mother is reluctant to marry her younger sister."


    In a word, Liu Xiu sneers in his heart, which is the reason for Sun Quan to detain him.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "parents in the world are reluctant to leave their daughters or sons. But there is no way. If Marquis Wu finds it difficult to deal with it, let me see the old lady next time. I''ll try to persuade her. I expect that she will be convinced. And when I get married, I will often visit my relatives in Jiangdong. "


    Knowing Sun Quan''s ultimate goal, Liu Xiu is at ease.


    Wu Guotai is just an excuse for Sun Quan. If Jiangdong and Jingzhou really get married, Wu Guotai is unlikely to prevent her daughter from going to Jingzhou. This is very normal.


    Sun Quan will not agree to Liu Xiu''s request.


    Sun Quan looked like a dutiful son and said, "my dear brother, my old mother is very old. I really don''t want my younger sister to go away. The old people are also worried that my younger sister will not be acclimatized when she goes to Jingzhou. As a son, in order to make the old people feel at ease, I wanted to have a talk with you before, but I don''t know how to speak. Let''s talk about it today. "


    "The meaning of Wu Xiu''s way is:" does Liu Xiu frown


    Sun Quan said: "I hope my brother can get married in Jiangdong and stay in Jiangdong. Please don''t worry. You are a successful official in Jingzhou. In Jiangdong, I will not treat you badly. I will let you become an official and show your ambition. "


    "Ha ha..."


    A sneer came from Liu Xiu''s mouth.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "it turns out that this is the style of Jiangdong. Marquis Wu is really a filial son and a good son."


    Ironically, Sun Quan was not affected at all.


    Sun Quan said: "brother, in Jingzhou, you are a commoner, and you can''t inherit the foundation of Jingzhou. Once Liu Qi or Liu Cong inherits Jingzhou, it will certainly crowd you out in every way. As the saying goes, "every man is innocent and has his own sin, and his younger brother has outstanding ability. No matter how loyal he is, he will not be able to get their understanding. He will certainly be suppressed and will not be reused."


    Speaking of this, Sun Quan vowed: "but in Jiangdong, I can give you a chance to show your ambition and your strong points."


    Liu Xiu had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "Marquis Wu thinks that I can''t inherit Jingzhou."Sun Quan said, "it''s impossible for a good brother to inherit Jingzhou."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "how can we come to a conclusion before the end? Everyone has his own ambition. Marquis Wu, I can''t stay in Jiangdong. Since you won''t let me meet you, I will leave tomorrow morning. "


    The words tore the skin.


    Sun Quan sighed, a helpless smile on his face, and said: "up to now, my brother is still so stubborn. When we get to Wu County, is it possible for my younger brother to leave Jiangdong again? "


    Liu Xiuse said: "Marquis Wu is determined to leave me?"


    Sun Quan said, "when you go back to Jingzhou, the threat to Jiangdong is too great. You must stay."


    At this time, Sun Quan was no longer secretive.


    Liu Xiu sneered: "this is the real idea of marquis Wu. The so-called old lady doesn''t want Shangxiang girl to go to Jingzhou. It''s just a mask made up by Marquis Wu. This is your real idea."


    Sun Quan said: "yes, that''s my idea. Are you going to leave? There are two choices. First, you leave by force and die. Second, you stay to marry Shangxiang and stay in Jiangdong. "


    "It''s your choice."


    Sun Quan said: "brother, I am very optimistic about you, so I really hope you stay."


    Liu Xiu shook his head with a smile and said helplessly: "what can I do at this stage? Well, I promise to stay. "


    Sun Quan''s eyes showed a smile and said: "in my heart, I must think about the way to leave after the wedding. Remember, brother Jiangdong, it''s still in your territory. It''s impossible for you to leave Jiangdong by land or by water. "


    As for Liu Xiu, he knows that it is impossible for him to stay with only three or two words of threat. But as long as Liu Xiucheng gets married and sun Shangxiang gets pregnant, Liu Xiu can''t give up his wife and children, and it''s even more impossible to leave.


    In the end, Liu Xiu can only stay obediently.


    Liu Xiu said: "since Marquis Wu has arranged everything, I have nothing to say. Tomorrow morning, I''ll meet you on time. "


    "Good!"


    Sun Quan chuckled and said, "why don''t you stay here and have a rest."


    Liu xiudao said, "it''s against the rules for me to stay at home and have a rest, and then greet my family. Marquis Wu, what should be arranged after the wedding tomorrow? You can do it. I won''t interfere. "


    Sun Quan said with a smile: "don''t worry, my dear brother. Jiangdong will do everything. After the wedding tomorrow, I will arrange the place for the wedding banquet and prepare it for you. "


    "In that case, I''ll leave."


    Liu Xiu arched hand line a ceremony, big sleeve a whisk, angry left.


    Sun Quan looks at Liu Xiu''s back when he leaves, but his heart is steadfast. Liu Xiuyue is angry, which shows that Liu Xiu is really forced to accept.


    Out of the Houfu, Liu Xiu returned by car.


    In the carriage, Wen pin asked, "young master, what''s the situation?"


    The anger on Liu Xiu''s face disappeared, replaced by a cold smile, and said: "Sun Quan asked me to marry him in Jiangdong and forbid us to leave."


    Wen pin nodded and said, "so the news is true."


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s true."


    Wenpin zhengse way: "in this case, the next plan, when to start?"


    Liu xiudao: "we will launch the plan tonight, and at the same time, we will arrange the people who will build the momentum. At the same time, we should contact the Lu family and other aristocratic families to make them contribute a little bit to the cause of turbulence. "


    "I understand!"


    Wen pin nodded, with a solemn look on his tense face.

 Chapter 184

    Early in the morning on October 28, the news that shocked Wu County suddenly burst out.


    Wu county magistrate Yuan Heng committed suicide!


    In Yuan Heng''s hanging room, Yuan Heng ordered people to kill two businessmen, as well as the master''s documents. Yuan Heng killed the master because the master aimed at Yuan Heng everywhere, and sent someone to kill the two merchants because the other side didn''t listen to Yuan Heng.


    In addition, a piece of paper was nailed to the beams and columns in the room.


    "If you do more injustice, you will die!"


    The dagger nailed the paper to the beam and column, which showed that Yuan Heng was afraid of committing suicide on the surface, but actually someone was operating behind the scenes.


    Zhu Zhi, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, and Sun Quan, the prefects of Wu County, all came to the county government early in the morning.


    Seeing the situation in the county government, Sun Quan had a dark face and cold eyes.


    It''s clear that someone is behind the scenes. I thought that the incident began to subside after the suicide, but I didn''t expect such a thing happened again.


    "Newspaper!"


    A yamen servant came quickly, his eyes were tense, and said in a loud voice: "no, outside the county yamen, countless people began to gather. These people are crying out to punish the magistrate of Yuan county. Among them, there are shops and the family members of the owner, all crying out to punish the magistrate of Yuan county. "


    With these words, the expressions of Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others became dignified again.


    The situation is getting worse.


    Sun Quan looked at Zhu Zhi and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Zhu, this matter should be dealt with immediately."


    "Yes, I will go right away."


    Zhu Zhi''s face showed an anxious look. He turned and took the Yamen out.


    In the room, Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu continue to check. Just three people turn over and over, did not find any evidence. Finally, I can only return to the hall of the county government.


    Sun Quan looked serious and asked, "what do you think?"


    Zhang Zhao shook his head and said: "Lord, it''s not simple behind the scenes. According to the old minister''s guess, there may be the participation of the major families in Jiangdong, and there may also be the action of Xu Gongyu. "


    Sun Quan directly interrupted: "the pushing hand of the aristocratic family has been determined for a long time."


    Zhang Zhao nodded and said, "besides, there should be a leader behind. After all, according to the previous news, all the major families in Jiangdong have contributed to the situation and have not been directly involved in it. "


    Sun Quan turned his eyes and asked, "Gongjin, what do you think?"


    Zhou Yu said, "is Liu Xiu possible? As soon as he comes, things keep going on in Jiangdong. Is it Liu Xiu? "


    Sun Quan shook his head and said: "Liu Xiu is suspected, but I have carefully considered that Liu Xiu has just arrived in Wu County, and his strength is very weak, so it is difficult to move. In particular, Liu Xiu has been under our surveillance, and he has not taken any unusual actions. "


    Zhou Yu sighed and said, "this is really weird." After a pause, Zhou Yu asked, "my Lord, does Liu Xiu greet you in the morning?"


    Sun Quan nodded and said, "yes, Zijing went to see Liu Xiu this morning."


    ¡­¡­


    Wu County, the center of the city.


    Liu Xiu and Wen pin rode on horseback, while his soldiers carried sedan chairs and followed the troops.


    Beside Liu Xiu, he followed Lu su. With a smile on his face, Lu Su said, "Mr. Liu, today is a good day for you. Congratulations. After today, you are the real son-in-law of Jiangdong. "


    Liu xiudao: "everything is planned by Mr. Zijing. I admire it."


    There is a hint of irony hidden in the words.


    Lu Su''s mouth twitched slightly, but he pretended not to understand. He said, "if Mr. Liu stays in Jiangdong, he will surely have a great future."


    Liu Xiu laughed and stopped talking.


    The team continued to advance. After a short walk, countless people gathered on the official road ahead. After learning that Yuan Heng was good at killing innocent people, these people went to the county government to ask for an explanation. Among them, there were also the chief bookkeeper and the merchant''s family members.


    Liu Xiu''s welcoming team met the common people. The troops crowded in, but they soon dispersed under the crowd of the people, and the soldiers around Lu Su were also scattered.


    Liu Xiu and wenpin are next to each other. He looks at wenpin and nods heavily.


    "Do it!"


    Wen pin gave a low roar and immediately gave an order.


    In an instant, the soldiers under wenpin''s command pulled out their swords to chop, and only three soldiers left by Lu Su were killed on the spot. At the same time, Liu Xiu hit Lu Su on the neck and knocked him unconscious.


    The people in the crowd were in a mess.


    Liu Xiu and Wen pin nodded to each other, turned around and began to retreat.


    A group of people, quickly go to the south gate.


    Meanwhile, at the South Gate of Wu County, a middle-aged man came with a warrant. He looked at the soldiers stationed at the gate and said, "the county magistrate has an order. The people in the city are besieging the county government. Marquis Wu, governor Zhou and Lord Zhang Zhao are surrounded. The situation is critical. You should go to the county government immediately for rescue."


    A warrant announced that although the primary school in charge was puzzled, after reading the warrant, it was found that the warrant was indeed stamped with the seal of the county magistrate.After a moment''s hesitation, the school finally went with the soldiers.


    There is no other reason, involving the safety of Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and others, no one dares to ignore.


    By the time Liu Xiu arrived, there were no soldiers at the gate. Liu Xiu and his party left the county easily. Less than five miles out of the county, I came to an open place.


    This place, early prepared a war horse.


    Liu Xiu waved and said, "go, get on the horse!"


    A group of people turned over and got on the horse, rode quickly and ran to the wharf outside the south of the city.


    When the city gate garrison arrived at the county government, the people had surrounded the county government circle after circle. They quickly opened the way, and then entered the county government. After seeing Zhu Zhi and explaining his intention, Zhu Zhi''s face changed greatly because he had never given an order from beginning to end. The county magistrate of the county government has been around him all the time. How can he give orders at random?


    Zhu Zhi took the school to the hall and reported: "Lord, the garrison at the south gate has received an order from the county captain to rush back to save you. However, the county captain has been with me all the time and never left at all. "


    Sun Quan''s face changed, and a worried look appeared in his eyes.


    How is that possible?


    Who can transfer troops under the eyelids.


    Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao were shocked.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, the voice of the soldier''s eagerness came out of the hall.


    A soldier came in in a hurry. The soldier was covered with blood and looked even more embarrassed. As soon as he appeared, the faces of Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and Zhu Zhi became tense.


    Sun Quan said, "what happened?"


    The soldier reported: "report back, my Lord. Lu Xiaowei took us to meet Liu Xiu and arrived at Zhuque street in the center of the city. Because countless people rushed to the direction of the county government, we fell into the crowd of people, and the soldiers were scattered. At that time, Liu Xiu ordered his soldiers to draw their swords and kill them. After our people were killed, Liu Xiu knocked out Lu Xiaowei and robbed him. The direction they leave is the direction of the south gate. "


    "Liu Xiu! It''s Liu Xiu! "


    Sun Quan clenched his fist, his eyes suddenly became extremely cold.


    Before, Sun Quan has been unable to connect all the things, with Liu Xiu suddenly fled, understand. Therefore, Liu Xiuzhi conspired to kill Yuanheng, Zhubo and merchants in order to incite people to make trouble.


    In Wu County, countless people gathered in Zhuque street, even the county government. Liu Xiu''s goal was achieved.


    On the one hand, Liu Xiu took advantage of the crowd in Zhuque street to kill the people around Lu Su, and then took advantage of the chaos to escape. On the other hand, when Yuanheng was killed, Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao and others went to check. Liu Xiu asked people to forge the county captain''s order, and transferred the soldiers stationed at the south gate to leave the county easily for the reason of protecting Sun Quan.


    Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and Zhu Zhi were extremely smart and understood.


    The three were shocked by Liu Xiu''s plan.


    "Pursue, immediately send troops to pursue Liu Xiu." Sun Quan was furious in his heart. Today was the time for Liu Xiu to marry sun Shangxiang, but now there was such an incident.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, zhugejin''s voice came in from the outside.


    Zhugejin came in in a hurry, saluted Sun Quan, and reported: "Lord, it''s not good. It''s said everywhere outside that the LORD repented of his marriage and wanted to murder Liu Xiu and then seize Changsha County. Now, I''m afraid general Tai Shi has begun to attack Changsha County. Once the news comes back, the story of repentance of marriage and murder of Liu Xiu will come true. "


    "Boom!"


    In Sun Quan''s mind, it exploded.


    This news even made Sun Quan shake his body for a while, with a look of horror in his eyes. Tai Shici had an early order to attack Changsha during the wedding. Now, Tai Shici must send troops.


    Two evidence, Sun Quan repentance and murder Liu Xiu''s news has been unable to explain.

 Chapter 185

    In the county yamen, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and others had a very blue face.


    Everyone knows that they have been fooled, by Liu Xiu.


    This time, I was totally in the dark. All of us are human beings, all of us are highly intelligent people, but we have been fooled, and it''s hard to express our feelings.


    "Lord, good news, good news."


    Suddenly, outside the hall, a loud voice came.


    The rapid sound of footsteps, from far to near.


    Huang Gai''s eyes were excited. He walked into the hall and said: "there''s news from outside that general Ziyi has led his troops into Changsha County and destroyed Ancheng county with great momentum. Changsha county is short of troops. In this battle, Jiangdong will surely win a great victory and return triumphantly. "


    After hearing this, Sun Quan was not excited at all. Instead, he clenched his fist, pursed his lips, and his eyes sparkled with anger.


    According to the original plan, it is a good thing for taishici to enter Ancheng county.


    Now, Sun Quan is not excited at all.


    Huang Gai glanced at all the people and saw that their faces were dignified. He asked in a deep voice, "what''s the matter? Is it because there are troubles outside? "


    Although Huang Gai knew about the serial murders, he did not know the news that Lu Su had been robbed.


    Huang Gai said again, "what''s the matter?"


    Zhou Yu explained: "Liu Xiu escaped his marriage and robbed Zijing together. Now, people are saying that Liu Xiu''s escape from marriage was due to the Lord''s intention to murder Liu Xiu. They also point out that the Lord has already sent taishici to attack Changsha County. When the news of taishici''s attack came back, it proved that the LORD repented of his marriage and murdered Liu Xiu. The responsibility for Liu Xiu''s escape from marriage falls on the Lord instead. "


    "Ah


    Huang Gai looked surprised and said, "in Wu County, how can Liu Xiu escape easily?"


    Zhou Yu sighed and said that Liu Xiu had a chance because of the uproar caused by the serial homicide cases and because of the chaos caused by the common people.


    After hearing this, Huang Gai couldn''t help but gasp and said, "Liu Xiu is too deep-minded. His plans are chain by chain. It''s hard to resist."


    Sun Quan is also a decisive person. After a moment of silence, he has made a decision in his heart.


    Looking at Zhu Zhi, Sun Quan said, "Junli, you should immediately dispatch troops to suppress the rioting people. As for Shang Xiang''s marriage, it''s meaningless to explain it again. Directly suppress the common people, and you''ll do it right away. "


    When things come to an end, Sun Quan''s choice is to suppress with iron and blood.


    "No!"


    Zhu Zhi nodded, turned and left.


    Sun Quan has never been an indecisive person. When things get big, they must be calmed down immediately. He also said: "Gongjin, Liu Xiu left Wu County. If he fled by land, he would encounter barriers everywhere and it would be difficult to escape. I''m sure that after Liu Xiu and his party left the south gate, they would enter the main road of the Yangtze River by water, then head west by the water, and enter Jiangxia county from Chaisang. "


    Zhou Yu saw Sun Quan''s intention clearly.


    Sun Quan said: "you order the Chaisang water army to set up checkpoints at the place where Chaisang and Jiangxia hand over. As long as the river is blocked, I don''t believe Liu Xiu can escape from Chaisang. "


    After thinking about it, Zhou Yu said, "this time I return to Wu County, on the one hand, it''s because of Shang Xiang''s marriage, on the other hand, it''s the old lady''s birthday. Now that everything in Wu county has been settled, it''s time for me to return to Chaisang camp. To attack Jiangxia in the early spring of next year, the navy must also train. When I returned to Chaisang, I trained the soldiers and waited for Liu Xiu to fall into the trap. "


    Sun Quan said, "it''s OK. You should seize the time."


    Zhou Yu got up and saluted, turned and left the county government.


    Huang Gai saw this, followed by Zhou Yu and left.


    Sun Quan''s eyes twinkled with cold light and said, "the Jiangdong family has been living a very comfortable life recently. These years have made them forget the means of the sun family. "


    Zhang Zhaomei first pick, way: "the Lord plans how to do?"


    Sun Quan said: "find a reason, take a few aristocratic families, give Jiangdong aristocratic family a lesson."


    "I see."


    Zhang Zhao is a human spirit and understands Sun Quan''s intention.


    Take a few aristocratic families and set an example to others so that the rest of them can settle down. Taking it seriously and handling it lightly will not affect the stability of Jiangdong, but also show Sun Quan''s dignity and have the best of both worlds.


    After a moment''s silence, Zhang Zhao asked, "Lord, does the Lu family need some beating?"


    Referring to the Lu family, Sun Quan has a dignified look in his eyes.


    A moment later, Sun Quan said, "Lu Xun has talent, ability and unique vision. He is a useful person. This time, he ignored the Lu family and punished several aristocratic families. Lu Xun should understand the meaning. "


    After listening, Zhang Zhao nodded.


    Because the surrounding area of the county government has been blocked by the people, Sun Quan can not go out for the time being, but can only stay in the government for the time being.


    Half an hour later, Zhu Zhi calmed down the turmoil of the people. Most of the people just follow blindly, and only a few people are behind the scenes instigators.The government mobilized the army and the people scattered one after another.


    After the incident was suppressed, Zhu Zhi decisively put all the responsibility on Yuan Heng, the county magistrate.


    In this way, the common people are out of breath. Under Zhu Zhi''s tough tactics, the serial homicide cases quickly subsided, and the number of people discussing this matter in the city gradually decreased.


    Sun Quan left the county government and returned to Marquis Wu.


    In the study, Sun Quan sat quietly, and sun Shangxiang''s face appeared in his mind. Liu Xiu escaped his marriage, and the marriage between Jiangdong and Jingzhou failed, which was also a blow to sun Shangxiang.


    "Well, it''s a failure this time."


    Sun Quan got up and went to sun Shangxiang''s yard.


    Enter the yard, at this time, the yard is decorated, all are festive red. One by one red happy words, posted on the door, window, yard, is already a sea of joy.


    In the room, sun Shangxiang is wearing a big red xipao and is making up his eyebrows. Seeing Sun Quan coming, sun Shangxiang said hastily, "second brother, my make-up hasn''t been finished yet. Go out and delay for a while and ask Liu Xiu to wait."


    Listening to sun Shangxiang''s words, Sun Quan felt even worse.


    This time, he cheated his sister.


    I opened my mouth, but I couldn''t say anything. I didn''t know how to explain to sun Shangxiang.


    On the one hand, the reason why Sun Quan agreed to marry Jingzhou was due to political needs, because Jiangdong needed to use marriage to eliminate the influence of sun Shangxiang''s capture; on the other hand, among Liu Xiu''s talents, dragon and Phoenix were outstanding. Sun Shangxiang married Liu Xiu, which did not insult sun Shangxiang.


    Sun Quan agreed.


    Now, Liu Xiu''s series of strategies have put the responsibility of repentance on Sun Quan''s head. He has left sun Shangxiang behind and left Sun Quan with a mess.


    Sun Shangxiang saw that Sun Quan''s eyebrows were dignified. He had a bad feeling in his heart and said, "second brother, what happened?"


    Her intuition told her that something must have happened.


    Sun Quan waved the servant girl in the room back and solemnly said: "on the way to meet the bride, Liu Xiu escaped his marriage. Now, Liu Xiu has taken Lu Su out of the county. "


    "Boom!"


    Sun Shangxiang''s brain was like thunder, and there was a blank in his mind.


    "Pa!"


    My eyebrow drawing tool fell to the ground.


    After a long time, sun Shangxiang recovered, but her pretty face was already very pale. She murmured, "he doesn''t want to marry me after all, he doesn''t want to."


    Mumbling to himself, sun Shangxiang''s heart was cold.


    Seeing sun Shangxiang''s expression, Sun Quan blamed himself and said, "little sister, there are many men in the world. There are also many heroes in Jiangdong. If Liu Xiu doesn''t marry you, there will always be someone willing to marry you. "


    Up to now, Sun Quan has not said that he intends to detain Liu Xiu. He can''t say it. He can only put the blame on Liu Xiu. It''s Liu Xiu who escapes the marriage on his own initiative.


    Sun Shangxiang took the Phoenix crown off his head and said slowly, "second brother, I want to be quiet."


    With a heavy heart, Sun Quan comforted him and said, "little sister, Liu Xiu, if he doesn''t marry you, it''s because he doesn''t have the foresight. It''s because he doesn''t have the blessing. Don''t feel bad in your heart..."


    Sun Shangxiang looked at Sun Quan and said, "second brother, you go out first."


    Sun Quan sighed and had to quit.


    The door closed with a creak. Sun Shangxiang was sitting alone in the room. The tears in his eyes couldn''t be restrained any more. It was like the water pouring out of the bank and splashing on the dressing table.


    "Is that your choice? I didn''t repent and escape, but you chose to repent and escape. How excellent she is and how beautiful she is that makes you so determined. "


    Murmuring, accompanied by a low cry, hovered in the room.

 Chapter 186

    In November, it was a cold winter, and everything was bleak.


    On the winding Yangtze River, the river is still running. A big ship along the river, along the wind, like a fish in the river in general fast shuttle.


    On the deck, Liu Xiu and Lu Su stood facing the wind.


    Lu Su stares at the turbulent river. His face is old and calm. There is no dignified emotion or anger on his face. His expression is very calm.


    After being arrested by Liu Xiu, Lu Su quickly figured out the key.


    Everything about Jiangdong is planned by Liu Xiu.


    Lu Su always thought that he took Liu Xiu seriously. Unexpectedly, he still underestimated Liu Xiu''s ability. If Sun Quan adopted his suggestion at the beginning and put Liu Xiu under house arrest, then Liu Xiu had a conspiracy and could not escape from Wu County.


    It''s just too late to think about it.


    Now Lu Su is Liu Xiu''s fish, and Liu Xiu is allowed to butcher him.


    "Hoo! Hoo


    The cold wind of the river blew up Lu Su''s clothes.


    Black hair, flying in the wind.


    Lu Su''s eyes were still calm, and he said slowly: "master Xiu, I''m sure you know your plan. The river leading to Jiangxia county is bound to be blocked. How do you want to enter Jiangxia county? "


    Liu Xiu raised his lips and said, "if brother Zijing plans to escape, can he get rid of Sun Quan''s interception?"


    Lu Su said, "maybe we can succeed."


    Liu said: "no, maybe it will be successful. And me, too. "


    Strong self-confidence, from Liu Xiu''s eyes. When he left Youxian, he had arranged his plan to escape from Jiangdong. The plan has already been made, and Liu Xiu is full of confidence.


    Sun Quan may not be able to catch him when a big ship sails.


    Lu Su narrowed his eyes and said, "so, young master Xiu already has a plan in his mind?"


    Liu Xiu said: "brother Zijing guess?"


    Lu Su''s soft face became more and more serious, and said: "if I expected it to be good, when xiugongzi got the news of marriage in you County, he would have begun to make arrangements."


    "From the beginning of stepping into Jiangdong, xiugongzi''s plan has been implemented step by step."


    "From entering Jiangdong to withdrawing from Jiangdong. Every step has a detailed plan and is premeditated. "


    Lu Su zhengse said: "the only thing that amazes young master Xiu is that he doesn''t plan to kill you. He plans to marry sun Shangxiang and detain you in Jiangdong."


    "If you don''t want to, you will create a disturbance, kill the governor and the county magistrate, and cause a commotion among the people."


    "At last, on the way to meet the bride, I will take advantage of the trouble to leave."


    Lu Su said: "if the Lord doesn''t want to detain you, let you go. All plans can be held still. In the end, it''s up to you. It''s impossible to prevent the layout of xiugongzi. "


    Now Lu Su recalled that Liu Xiu''s plan was too meticulous, and he was amazed.


    Liu xiudao said: "brother Zijing has been praised falsely. It''s a great blessing that Sun Quan has Zijing to assist him. Unfortunately, Sun Quan intended to detain me. Instead of successfully detaining me, he compensated Lu Su for his loss. Ha ha ha... "


    Hearty laughter came from Liu Xiu''s mouth.


    Lu Su said: "listen to the tone of young master Xiu, I don''t want to go back to Jiangdong."


    "It will be a great threat to Jingzhou if you go back to Jiangdong," Liu said. Without you, Sun Quan is losing an arm. So, does Zijing think I''ll release you? If Zijing is willing to stay and help me, I will greet him


    Lu Su said: "I promise directly. Do you dare to use me?"


    "That''s true. It''s a real trouble." Liu Xiu''s eyes have a banter smile, said: "but everything is possible, future things, who can say?"


    Lu Su very firmly said: "I was robbed by you, the Lord''s Guild sent someone to save me."


    Liu Xiu said, "in my hands, is it possible for you to leave?"


    Lu Su''s eyes showed a trace of smile and said: "in some cases, master Xiu can''t make decisions. Just like the marriage with Shangxiang, xiugongzi is unwilling and has no choice but to go to Jiangdong to meet him. "


    Liu Xiu said: "brother Zijing is wrong. If I want to refuse marriage, there are many ways, but I don''t want to do it."


    "First of all, I can kill sun Shangxiang. When I claim to have captured sun Shangxiang, I will. Although his father was angry, he could not help it. Because sun Shangxiang is a woman and is not willing to target him. "


    "Second, I have chosen a plan that will do everything. At the beginning, I reached an agreement with monk Xiang. She repented and escaped. So, I went to Jiangdong. Unexpectedly, in the end, she is willing to get married again. "


    "Third, in order to prevent accidents, I have laid out a series of plans to ensure that I can withdraw to Jiangdong."


    "The current public opinion is that Sun Quan repents and murders me. Isn''t that good?"


    Liu Xiu continued: "there are many ways to refuse marriage, and it is not difficult.""In the same way, it is impossible for Sun Quan to save Zijing and save people directly from me. The only way, just like the old marriage, is to redeem you by negotiating with my father. "


    "Unfortunately, next, I will declare that brother Zijing intended to escape and was killed by me. Then you turn from the stage to the background, and no one knows about Lu su."


    "In this way, Sun Quan has no chance."


    Liu Xiu had a strong smile in his eyes and said, "brother Zijing, when Sun Quan learned about your murder, do you think he will send someone to pay attention to you again? At that time, you can only stay in my house honestly. "


    After Lu Su listened, Gujing bubo''s face showed a helpless look.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu even considered this floor.


    Suddenly, Lu Su asked, "what''s your ambition, Mr. Xiu?"


    Liu xiuyileng, it seems that in this era, it is very popular to ask a person what is his ambition? Kuai Qi and Pang Tong once mentioned it, and now Lu Su also asks.


    Lu Su''s eyes narrowed and said slowly: "is it inconvenient for you to answer? I still don''t know how to answer. "


    Liu xiudao: "I think it''s just a little sudden."


    After thinking about it, Liu xiudao said: "when I was a child, my ambition, or I can''t call it ambition, let''s take it for a moment. At that time, I wanted to see my father once a month, and I thought it was very good. It was the most satisfying thing in life, and it was all hope. It''s a pity that we may not see it once every six months, but at most we can see it at the end of the year when we worship our ancestors. "


    This words, Lu Su''s mood inexplicably low down.


    Liu Xiu is brilliant in front of people, calm and generous, and sad behind. Few people know about him.


    Wenpin stood not far away and heard Liu Xiu''s words.


    Wen pin sighed in his heart that when Liu Xiu was a child, he was cowardly and not good at talking, and he would not please Liu Biao, so he could not be liked by Liu Biao. Especially when I see Liu Biao once a year, I don''t have any sense of existence.


    Liu Xiu continued: "when I grow up, I can''t see my father. Mind, gradually light. At that time, I was often bullied by my second brother''s servant girl. I thought to myself, as long as I was not bullied. Unfortunately, the weaker you are, the more you are bullied. That''s why people are good at being bullied and horses are good at being ridden. "


    His tone was low, and the atmosphere on the deck became dignified.


    Wenpin and Lu Su felt very depressed in their hearts, as if they were pressing a huge stone.


    Liu Xiu suddenly had a smile on his face and said, "when I grow up, I meet a man who teaches me reading and martial arts. I really understand, I want to change my destiny, no longer be bullied


    The last remark was made up by Liu Xiu.


    Apart from Pang Degong, Liu Xiu didn''t learn from his teacher, but his martial arts and mature mind must be guided by someone, so there must be a reasonable explanation.


    There is no doubt that a legendary person is the most reasonable explanation.


    After Lu Su and Wen pin listened to this, they looked as if they had only learned from Pang Degong. Liu Xiugen could not have been so powerful.


    The final conclusion is that Liu Xiu was taught before.


    Liu Xiu continued: "people''s aspirations are constantly changing, especially with different status and identity. Now my ambition is different from the original. Now, what I want to do is set up my mind for heaven and earth, set up my life for the people, go on to the sage''s unique learning, and open up the peace of the world. "


    The words were loud and enlightening.


    Lu Su''s eyes widened, and his eyes showed an incredible look. He was shocked.


    One''s ambition determines one''s future. In Lu Su''s view, this is true. Liu Xiu''s ambition was so grand that Lu Su could only look up to it.


    Wenpin narrowed his eyes. He thought Liu Xiu''s ambition was to inherit Jingzhou and so on, but he didn''t expect that.

 Chapter 187

    Liu Xiu took a look at Lu Su and was delighted.


    Whoever hears the four sentences of Hengqu will be shocked.


    This is true of Kuai Qi, Pang Tong and Lu su. Because the meaning and connotation of the four sentences are too grand. Such ambition is no longer just about the resurgence of the great man and the destruction of the Cao thief. Everything, in front of the four sentences of Hengqu, is weak and explosive.


    What the four sentences of Hengqu show is greater ambition and ambition, which is for the common people in the world.


    Lu Su arched his hand and said, "I admire you."


    Wenpin clenched his fist and looked at Liu Xiu with admiration.


    In a word, he has more contact with Liu Xiu. Starting from wenjiacun, Liu Xiu solved the problem of Wencun. Then wenpin escorted Pang Degong and Liu Xiu to Xu county, and experienced a lot. This time, he escorted Liu Xiu to Jiangdong to meet his relatives. The more contacts wenpin had, the more he thought that Liu Xiu was the real master of Ming Dynasty.


    He is very considerate, skillful in swordsmanship, courteous and good at employing people


    Liu Qi and Liu Cong are incomparable in all this.


    Wenpin stares at Liu Xiu and stands quietly without interrupting the conversation between Liu Xiu and Lu su.


    Lu Su said: "young master Xiu has a great ambition, but it''s hard to realize it. Far from it, the most difficult problem is to inherit Jingzhou from xiugongzi. "


    Liu xiudao said: "Zijing is outstanding in wisdom and resourcefulness. Do you also think that the birth of the common people is the key?"


    Lu Su''s eyes congealed, and suddenly laughed, saying: "under normal circumstances, there is a great influence between private and common people. Ha ha, it''s wrong. Under certain circumstances, the common people can inherit Jingzhou. "


    In the discourse, Lu Su understood Liu Qi and Liu Cong''s abnormal death.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "Zijing definitely thinks that I will kill Liu Qi and Liu Cong, and there is no other son under his father''s knee, only I can inherit Jingzhou. But if you don''t kill people, you can inherit Jingzhou. "


    Liu Xiu didn''t explain what he said, and Lu Su showed a thoughtful look.


    Liu Xiu added: "even if we do not inherit Jingzhou, it is not impossible to realize our ambition."


    Lu Su said: "young master Xiu has already made plans for his future. In other words, no matter what kind of situation you encounter, xiugongzi has made preparations. "


    Liu xiudao said: "those who do not plan for the whole world are not able to plan for the moment; those who do not plan for the whole situation are not able to plan for one domain. Prepare early so that you won''t be in a hurry. "


    Lu Su zhengse said: "even if xiugongzi inherited Jingzhou and took charge of Jingzhou, Cao Cao would bring down the north for two years at most, and he would surely move his army south. At that time, how can master Xiu resist Cao Cao? "


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed, showing a look of admiration.


    Compared with Lu Su, Liu Xiu has the memory of later generations and knows the changes in the world. Therefore, Liu Xiu''s judgment will be very accurate. But Lu Su did not. Lu Su relied on his own vision and wisdom.


    It''s 206 A.D., the 11th year of Jian''an.


    Two years later, that is, in the 13th year of Jian''an, Cao Cao sent his troops south to attack Jingzhou.


    It''s absolutely right, Lu su.


    Liu Xiu asked: "when Cao Cao goes south, will Jingzhou be in danger, and will Jiangdong be in danger?"


    Lu Su said: "if Cao Cao seizes Jingzhou, he will definitely point his sword at Jiangdong."


    With both hands on his back, Liu Xiu stood up against the wind and said, "therefore, Jiangdong and Jingzhou are the relationship between lips and teeth. If Cao Cao went south, Jingzhou alone would not succeed. The only way is to form an alliance between Jiangdong and Jingzhou. "


    "With the help of time, geography and people, Cao Cao was defeated in Jingzhou."


    "As long as Cao Cao is defeated, the situation just stabilized in the north will change again."


    Liu Xiu said: "after Cao Cao withdrew his troops, it was difficult for him to go south for a short time. Jingzhou and Jiangdong had a chance to breathe. I will attack Jiangdong, or Sun Quan will attack Jingzhou. Finally, the army went north from Jingzhou to Luoyang, and the other army went east from Bashu to Guanzhong to fight with Cao Cao. "


    "Hiss!"


    Lu Su''s face was calm, but his heart was turbulent.


    In the past, what Lu Su planned for Sun Quan was to capture Jingzhou, go west to Bashu, and fight Cao Cao. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu made the same plan. Liu Xiu, in particular, was less than 20 years old. It''s not easy to be at such an age with such a mind.


    Lu Su arched his hand, but he was speechless. He began to worry in his heart and worried for Sun Quan.


    Liu Xiu didn''t speak any more and looked at the river quietly.


    As the sun rises and sets, the ship gets closer and closer to Chaisang county. Lu Su''s mood also fluctuates. Whether we can get out of trouble depends on the first World War in Chaisang county.


    If the water army in Chaisang County could not stop Liu Xiu, he would never have a chance to return to Jiangdong.


    ¡­¡­


    Chaisang County, Poyang Lake.


    Big camp in the water, big account of the Chinese army.


    Zhou Yu sat on the throne, and Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and other military generals gathered.


    Cheng Pu''s eyes were sharp, and he reported: "governor Dadu, according to the information sent back by the sentinel on the river, Huang Zu of Jiangxia has sent out a water army, which may enter the territory of Chaisang county at any time."Zhou Yu''s eyes narrowed and said slowly, "Huang Zu has moved, which means Liu Xiu must go up the river to return to Jingzhou. Liu Xiu''s plan was very simple. He took a boat to retreat and let Huang Zu come to meet him. "


    Huang Gai''s eyes were full of fighting spirit and said: "governor of Dadu, it''s our chance for Liu Xiu to withdraw to Jingzhou this time. Huang Zu has been shrinking in Jiangxia, never taking the initiative to send troops. Huang Zu came out, which means that we can not only win Liu Xiu, but also lift weights to create Huang Zu, and then win Jiangxia. "


    For Huang Zu, Huang Gai has a deep hatred.


    Sun Jian leads his troops to retreat to Jiangxia, and Huang Gai follows Sun Jian. Huang Gai is Sun Jian''s family minister. They are as close as brothers. He can imagine his hatred when Sun Jian was shot.


    In this war, Huang Zu took the initiative to fight, and Huang Gai couldn''t wait.


    Huang Gai once again said: "the governor of Dadu, the end will ask for war, the end will be willing to serve as a pioneer."


    "Dudu, please fight at the end."


    Ling Tong stood up, his fighting spirit is high, said: "the end will be defeated by Liu Xiu in Wu County, this battle, please let the end of the governor to fight, capture Liu Xiu alive, a shame before snow."


    The fighting on the ship is different from that on the ground. The river is surging, and the ship is stable as a whole. However, the deck is always in a state of shaking. Many people who can''t swim on the ship can''t perform their martial arts even though they are invincible.


    Ling Tong''s idea is to take Liu Xiu off the ship.


    "The governor of Dadu, at the end of the day, will fight against Huang Zu."


    Gan Ning opened his mouth. He didn''t compete with Ling Tong. If he also attacked Liu Xiu, the conflict between them would be deeper, and he simply chose to fight Huang Zu.


    If you kill Huang Zu, you can also make contributions.


    Zhou Yu was very satisfied with the general''s condition, and said: "in this battle, we should not only defeat Huang Zu, but also take Liu Xiu and save Zi Jing. I''d rather listen to the order. "


    "The end will be here!"


    Gan Ning''s eyes showed excitement.


    Zhou Yu said, "I have ordered you to lead three ships to attack the huangzu warship. Your goal is to go straight to Huang Zu. Whether it''s to capture Huang Zu alive or to kill Huang Zu, I just want to win. "


    "The governor of Dadu is relieved that he will not bear the heavy responsibility."


    Gan Ning has a high morale.


    Zhou Yu turned his eyes and said again, "Ling Tong listens to the order."


    "The end will be here!"


    Ling Tong also stood up, his eyes full of expectations.


    Zhou Yu said, "you lead a warship to intercept Liu Xiu''s ship. Take Liu Xiu, no matter life or death, I only want the result of victory. "


    Lingtong Baoquan way: "Xie Dadu governor."


    Zhou Yu also said, "Huang Gai and Han should listen to the order."


    "The end will be here!"


    Huang Gai and Han Dang de Ling also stood up immediately.


    Zhou Yu said, "you two work with Ling Tong to rescue Zijing."


    "No!"


    Huang Gai and Han Dang are reluctant. Today''s Lu Su, though Sun Quan''s confidant, has been valued by Sun Quan, but he has not been in charge of the military camp. Huang Gai and Han Dang are not very obedient to Lu su.


    When Zhou Yu finished his command, he said, "Cheng Pu is with me. Now, the army is going."


    At the command, the army began to operate.


    The Jiangdong water army stationed in Poyang Lake, in the sound of the horn, quickly left Poyang Lake and went north along the river.

 Chapter 188

    The river is boundless.


    On the Yangtze River, there are warships in array. On each warship, there are big black flags. On the flag, a huge yellow character was embroidered.


    The fleet of warships is the water army of Jingzhou.


    On the deck of the command ship, Pang Tong was dressed in a black robe and a cloak. The cold wind came, and Pang Tong could not help rubbing his slightly stiff cheek.


    Beside him stood a ferocious looking and sharp eyed general in his fifties.


    His temples were white and frosty.


    That pair of eyes, but it is the essence of flashing.


    This person is Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia.


    Pang Tong''s eyes narrowed slightly and said in a deep voice: "Huang Taishou, according to the information sent back by the sentinel, Zhou Yu''s water army is out. Soon, the two sides will meet on the water


    Huang Zu''s voice was very forceful, and he said in a loud voice: "Zhou Yu, child, is nothing. If it wasn''t for your request, I would have even taught Zhou Yu a lesson. It''s just too much for Huang kouxiao to open his mouth to attack Jiangxia. "


    Pang Tong laughed and said, "in fact, there is no need for Huang Taishou to fight with Zhou Yu. If you win Zhou Yu, you won''t win. If Zhou Yu is lucky enough to win, it will have an impact on Huang''s prestige. "


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Huang Zu nodded after listening.


    Pang Tong''s words are in Huang Zu''s heart.


    Who is Huang Zu? He was the one who set up a plot to shoot Sun Jian. He thinks that he has excellent martial arts skills and excellent strategy, and he doesn''t pay attention to Sun Quan and Zhou Yu. In fact, Huang Zu''s ability to govern the army was indeed outstanding. Sun Quan repeatedly attacked Jiang Xia, but he failed in the end.


    In history, Huang Zu was killed because his general Chen was killed just before the battle, and the morale of the army broke up, so that he was defeated like a mountain. Huang Zu was killed in the process of retreating.


    "Newspaper!"


    On the lookout tower, a soldier roared: "my Lord, there are warships 100 feet ahead."


    Hearing the words, Huang Zu warned: "Zhou Yu''s water army is coming."


    Huang Zu stares at the river. Not long ago, there are warships, boats and Zou Ge on the river. Zhou Yu''s water army was rapidly approaching.


    It wasn''t long, and the two sides were arrayed on the river.


    However, no one took the lead in the war.


    Once the war starts, the situation on the river will be chaotic. After both sides were killed, no one could know when Liu Xiu''s boat would arrive.


    Therefore, neither of the two water forces acted rashly in the confrontation.


    On the Jiangdong command ship, Zhou Yu and Cheng PU were on the deck.


    The wind of the river is blowing and hunting is making a sound.


    Wearing armor and a golden helmet, Zhou Yu asked, "do you have any news from Liu Xiu, de Mou?"


    "Not yet," Cheng said


    Zhou Yu nodded and his eyes fell on the Jingzhou water army.


    Jingzhou water army is also an array. The distance from Jiangdong water army is about 60 Zhang. The Jiangdong water army approached, while the Jingzhou water army retreated. The distance between the two sides was always about 60 Zhang.


    Half an hour is fleeting.


    A big ship suddenly appeared in the rear and ran to the direction of Jiangdong water army.


    After seeing this, Zhou Yu knew that Liu Xiu''s boat was coming, and ordered: "send an order to Gan Ning to attack." At the first order, the soldiers holding the flag on the command ship waved the flag. When Gan Ning saw it, he immediately accelerated to the Jingzhou Navy.


    At the same time, the warships of Lingtong, huanggai and handang retreated rapidly and approached Liu Xiu''s warship.


    Huang Zu saw that the other side launched an attack. He raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and ordered: "withdraw!" When the flag swayed, the Jingzhou water army immediately turned around and retreated.


    This scene shocked Zhou Yu on the command ship.


    How is that possible?


    When Liu Xiu''s boat arrived, how could the other party retreat directly? No matter Liu Xiu''s life or death?


    Unreasonable!


    "No, there''s fraud on the boat in the rear. Liu Xiu is definitely not on the boat."


    In Zhou Yu''s heart, there was a bad feeling. He looked back and saw Ling Tong, Huang Gai and Han Dang get close to Liu Xiu''s ship. The board is on the two ships, but Liu Xiu''s ship has no soldiers to resist. Ling Tong, Huang Gai and Han Dang easily board the ship.


    Zhou Yu looked ahead again. The retreat speed of Jingzhou army was extremely fast. Gan Ning went to catch up, but he couldn''t catch up. Especially after the distance, Gan Ning did not dare to pursue alone, so he had to retreat back.


    Two quarters of an hour later, Gan Ning returned to the deck and reported: "governor of Dadu, the Jingzhou army retreated without fighting and could not catch up."


    Zhou Yu nodded, did not open his mouth and waited quietly.


    Soon, Ling Tong, Huang Gai and Han Dang took Liu''s men to the deck. A man knelt on the ground, trembling, very afraid.


    Zhou Yu asked, "who is in charge of the ship?"


    "I am!"


    A fat, pale middle-aged man spoke.


    Zhou Yu asked, "where are the original people on board?"The middle-aged man said, "my Lord, I don''t know anything. Two days ago, I met several people who said they would give me a boat and give me 100000 yuan. The only condition is to let me sail to the junction of Chaisang county and Jiangxia county. "


    Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes and asked, "what does the other party look like?"


    The middle-aged man thought about it carefully and replied, "I''m talking to a young man who is very dignified. He was dressed in a white suit, and he was very noble. He was accompanied by a big middle-aged man. Besides, there is a middle-aged man who is not good-looking. "


    Hearing this, Zhou Yu concluded that it was Liu Xiu and his party and asked, "what about people? Where did they go? "


    The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I don''t know. They gave the boat to me and left. They went by land, not by water


    "Zhou Yu sighed softly


    Ling tongdeling released the middle-aged people, as well as the rest.


    Zhou Yu looked at Huang Gai, Ling Tong and others and sighed, "this time, I was cheated by Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu asked Huang Zu to line up at the border, ostensibly making a false appearance of greeting, so that the governor''s attention was focused on the river. In this way, Liu Xiu quietly got off the ship and broke out by land. If the governor''s expectation is not bad, Liu Xiu arranged for the army to meet him at the juncture of Chaisang and Jiangxia. "


    Huang Gai said: "Dudu, we immediately turn around and go to intercept."


    Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "it''s too late. Everything is too late." He looked at the direction of Huang Zu''s retreat. There was still a trace on the river. The other side had already withdrawn to Jiangxia county.


    At this time, in Zhou Yu''s heart, there was also a sense of powerlessness.


    Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu was also teased.


    "Liu Xiu, you win."


    In Zhou Yu''s heart, he said in secret. Immediately, he said in secret: "this time, you win. But next time, I will defeat you and set foot in Jingzhou. "


    Zhou Yu is not a man who easily admits defeat. He made a wrong judgment this time, but he will never admit defeat.


    Cheng Pu sighed and said, "since Liu Xiu has arranged this one, it''s definitely impossible to catch up next. If we lose this time, we don''t have to think about Liu Xiu any more. Next, we will make every effort to prepare for the war against Jiangxia next year. "


    Huang Gai said: "Lu Su is still in Liu Xiu''s hands. How can he tell the main bus to replace him?"


    Zhou Yu felt embarrassed when he heard the speech. Lu Su was not only an official of Jiangdong, but also a close friend of Zhou Yu. The relationship between Lu Su and Zhou Yu is impeccable. Now that Lu Su is arrested, Zhou Yu is also anxious.


    Zhou Yu said: "as for the arrangement of Zijing, the governor will write a letter to the Lord and ask the Lord to coordinate, so as to let Liu Biao order Liu Xiu to release Zijing. It must be impossible to take back Zijing directly from Liu Xiu''s hands. We can only use this method. "


    Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others heard the speech and nodded yes.


    Liu Xiu is as cunning as a fox, and his means emerge in endlessly, which makes Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others headache.


    Zhou Yu turned around and suddenly thought of Tai Shi Ci, who was in Yuzhang county.


    From the analysis of a series of events, Liu Xiu arranged everything in order. So Liu Xiu left you county. Although the troops of Changsha County were empty, Liu Xiu might have arranged it properly.


    Is it Liu Xiu''s trap for taishici to invade Ancheng county and reach Changsha County?


    For a moment, Zhou Yu was not sure about the situation.


    After returning to the barracks, Zhou Yu immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Yuzhang county. He wrote down the recent events clearly, and asked Tai Shici and sun Ben, the prefect of Yuzhang Prefecture, to be careful and avoid falling into the trap.

 Chapter 189

    Xiazhi County, located in the east of Jiangxia County, borders Chaisang county. The magistrate of Xiazhi County, named Lei Tong, was Huang Zu''s confidant. He guarded Xiazhi county to resist the attack of Jiangdong.


    Because of the special geographical location of Xiazhi County, there are more than 10000 elite troops stationed in the county.


    Barracks, big accounts of the Chinese army.


    Lei Tong sits in the main seat and Deng Zhan sits at the bottom.


    With an expectant look in his eyes, Deng Zhan said: "county magistrate Lei, I just got the news that my Lord and general wenpin are on their way to Xiazhi county and are about to arrive at houbeiling. In my opinion, we can go with the army. "


    Pang Tong was responsible for persuading Huang Zu to lead the army to bluff on the river to attract the attention of Zhou Yu and the Jiangdong army.


    Deng Zhan led the troops who really rescued Liu Xiu.


    Deng Zhan led 800 elite soldiers to Xiazhi county and stationed in leitong''s barracks.


    Leitong had already got Huang Zu''s order and fully cooperated with Deng Zhan. Therefore, leitong is very polite to Deng Zhan. Moreover, although leitong was a rough man, he didn''t read much, but he was very clever.


    From all kinds of signs, Liu Xiu''s ability is quite outstanding, and his rise is irresistible. Under such circumstances, he helped Deng Zhan rescue Liu Xiu, which was also an opportunity to make friends with Liu Xiu.


    Lei Tong wears a smile and says, "Deng county magistrate, once there is a conflict in the monkey ridge, eight hundred soldiers are afraid of it. I sent one thousand soldiers from the army to go to the monkey ridge."


    Deng Zhan shook his head and said, "county magistrate Lei, thank you very much. It''s just that we should not go to houbeiling in a big way. So, my 800 soldiers are enough. In Xiazhi County, county magistrate Lei is familiar with the topography and knows the forces of Jiangdong. This time, you have to ask county magistrate Lei to come with me. "


    When Lei Tong heard that he was going to see Liu Xiu, this was undoubtedly the best result. He said: "Deng''s analysis is reasonable. I''ll show him the way."


    Soon, leitong and Deng show their barracks and take 800 soldiers to houbeiling.


    Houbeiling is the junction of Xiazhi county and Chaisang county.


    This place is full of mountains and narrow roads. Liu Xiu and his party''s carriage had lost its function and had already been abandoned. They all went on foot.


    Liu Xiu and his party were disguised as caravans.


    The soldiers were dressed in ordinary clothes, some dressed as guards, others as coolies.


    Team, slowly forward.


    Lu Su did not make trouble all the way. Because he is always under Liu Xiu''s control. If Liu Xiu can''t grasp his situation, he will definitely kill him. This is not what Lu Su wants to see.


    About a quarter of an hour, the narrow path gradually became wider. Soon, it came to the border.


    At the border, Zhou Yu set up checkpoints, guarded by more than 100 Jiangdong soldiers.


    Liu xiusan wore a hat on his head, which covered his appearance. As soon as the soldiers standing by the checkpoint looked back, they saw Liu Xiu and his three men from a distance, shouting: "all of them take off their hats and come to check their appearance."


    In the soldier''s hand, there were three portraits.


    The three portraits are Liu Xiu, Lu Su and Wen pin.


    Liu xiusan still didn''t take off their hat. With the distance getting closer, wenpin roared, "do it!"


    In an instant, the soldier immediately pulled out the steel knife and rushed up.


    After fleeing all the way back from Jiangdong, the number of soldiers around wenpin is decreasing, leaving only more than 30 people. These 30 odd soldiers are all elite. One by one, fearless of death, rushed up and killed the Jiangdong soldiers on the border.


    "It''s Liu Xiu. It must be Liu Xiu and his party. Hurry up and catch Liu Xiu."


    "Wenpin is also here. Catch him quickly."


    Jiangdong soldiers, who guard the border, are very excited and welcome Jingzhou soldiers with their swords.


    "Lord, here comes Deng Zhan."


    At the same time, in pheasant County, Deng Zhan roared and rushed out with an iron sword. Behind him, 800 soldiers rushed out and rushed to the junction of the two counties.


    The appearance of 800 soldiers reversed the situation.


    Liu Xiu and wenpin didn''t even make a move. Deng Zhan has easily solved the problem of Jiangdong soldiers stationed in Chaisang.


    Lu Su sighed when he saw this scene. Liu Xiu''s preparations this time are too full. Not only in jiangshang County, but also in Xiazhi County, Liu Xiu has made sufficient arrangements to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan.


    After killing Jiang Dongbing, Deng Zhan came forward and saluted. Then, Deng zhanbai pointed to Lei Tong and said, "Lord, this is Lei Tong Lei magistrate of Xiazhi county. Thanks to Lei magistrate''s help, we can arrive here smoothly this time."


    Leitong said: "I''ve met Mr. Xiu."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "county magistrate Lei, thank you very much."


    Leitong looked excited and shook his head. "It''s my honor that xiugongzi passed Xiazhi county. It''s also my duty to rescue xiugongzi, and it''s just a little help. This rescue, thanks to Deng Xiancheng. He sends people to watch houbeiling twelve hours a day to ensure that he can meet the adults on time. "After a bit of politeness, the party entered Xiazhi county.


    After a night''s rest in Xiazhi County, the next morning, Liu Xiu and his party left Xiazhi County for Xiling County, the seat of Jiangxia county.


    Xiling county is located in the North-South Center of Jiangxia county. To the east of Xiling county is Chaisang county. Because of this, Xiling county is a barrier to the east of Jiangxia county.


    The city of the county is towering and the city wall is as high as four feet.


    In the city, the army of Huang Zu was stationed.


    Outside the county, a flowing moat protects Xiling county. Moat from the Yangtze River, two feet wide, the river rapids, want to enter the city, must put down the suspension bridge from the city, can enter the city.


    When Liu Xiu came to see the county outside Xiling County, he couldn''t help admiring it.


    At the gate of the city, Huang Zu and Pang Tong lined up to greet them.


    Huang Zu met Liu Xiu and quickly welcomed him. He arched his hand and said, "Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, meet Mr. Xiu."


    Liu Xiulian said quickly: "it''s very kind of you, madam Huang, to return to Jingzhou this time, thanks to the arrangement of Madam Huang. Otherwise, I don''t know when I will come back. "


    Huang Zu said to himself, "it''s all about xiugongzi. His subordinates just run errands and don''t do anything. Mr. Xiu, I have already set up a banquet in my house to clean up the dust for Mr. Xiu. Please


    "Huang Tai Shou, please."


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and went to the city with Huang Zu.


    The prince''s residence, please take your seat.


    Huang Zu looked curious in his eyes and said, "Jiangdong is in danger. Young master Xiu is in the hinterland of Wu County. I don''t know how Mr. Xiu came back. "


    Now that Liu Xiu has come back successfully, the adventure along the way is Liu Xiu''s proud capital.


    When Huang Zu asked, he was in his favor.


    With a smile, Liu Xiu replied: "during his stay in Wu County, he was able to come back smoothly, on the one hand, with the help of the local strength of Jiangdong, on the other hand, with proper planning."


    Immediately, Liu Xiu gave a brief account of his general plan and what happened.


    After hearing this, Huang Zu tut praised: "I can only look up to master Xiu''s wisdom. Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao are all excellent, but they are played around by master Xiu. It''s really wonderful. "


    After a pause, Huang Zu said again, "what do you plan to do about Lu Su?"


    Liu Xiu said: "I don''t know yet. When I return to Xiangyang, I will report to my father and ask him to deal with it."


    Huang Zu nodded slightly, and no longer entangled with the matter of withdrawing. He ordered the food and wine to be served. Soon, the good food and wine that had been prepared were put on the table.


    Huang Zu and Jiang Xia''s officials congratulated Liu Xiu one after another.


    Liu xiulai refused, and Huang Zu talked and laughed, the atmosphere is very warm.


    After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the atmosphere was even higher. At this time, the relationship between the two sides gradually drew closer. Huang Zujing Liu Xiu a glass of wine, some hesitant way: "repair young master, I have a thing, I do not know when to say, not to say."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Huang Taishou, but it''s OK to talk about it."


    Huang Zu said, "my young son, Huang Hu, is nearly 20 years old and still has nothing to do in my family. I hope he can follow Mr. Xiu for some experience. "


    Liu Xiu laughed in his heart. Huang Zu''s arrangement is equivalent to becoming an ally with Liu xiuda.


    Liu xiudao: "when we start tomorrow morning, let Huang Hu go to Xiangyang with me. Huang Tai Shou''s generals, I think Huang Hu must be a hero. "


    Lu Su sat down, listening to Huang Zu and Liu Xiu''s words, sighing in his heart. He thought that Liu Xiu was born of a common man, which had a lot of limitations. Now it seems that even though Liu Xiu was a common son, the prefects of the counties still competed to make friends with Liu Xiu.


    It will not be too difficult for Liu Xiu to take charge of Jingzhou.

 Chapter 190

    Early the next morning, Liu Xiu and wenpin were ready to leave.


    Among the accompanying people, there was a young man with a big figure and a simple appearance.


    This man is Huang Hu, the young son of Huang Zu. According to Liu Xiu''s estimation, his height is at least 1.9 meters and his weight is more than 200 Jin. Standing on the ground, he is like an iron tower.


    Wherever he went, he held a golden hammer in his hands. Huang Hu''s gold hammer is also exquisite. It is made according to the drum jar gold hammer used by Fubo General Ma Yuan. The two gold hammers weigh more than 200 Jin.


    Huang Hu is not as smart as Huang Zu, but Liu Xiu can see that he is a tiger general.


    At least, Huang Hu''s martial arts will not be worse than Huang Zhong''s.


    On the battlefield, this is definitely a humanoid tank, enough to sweep the battlefield.


    Huang Zu looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Xiu, hu er''s brain is a little dull and his reaction is slow. However, the boy''s martial arts is pretty good. He was left at home because he had a bad brain and was easy to dig and sell when he went out. Xiugongzi''s benevolence and righteousness, and hu''er''s following xiugongzi will surely lead a career. "


    This time Hu means that he has formed an alliance with Liu Xiu.


    Huang Zu handed Huang Hu over to him. He took the initiative to give him a handle.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "don''t worry, Huang Taishou. Huzi will follow me and won''t let him suffer. In my opinion, Huzi''s martial arts in the battlefield, will be able to shine, famous. I''m afraid that the future achievements of Huzi will not be lower than that of Huang Taishou. He will certainly be a marquis and a general. "


    The words made Huang Zu very happy and even more smiling.


    Invisibly, Liu Xiu showed his hidden ambition.


    At the same time, more guarantee to the yellow tiger, this is enough to let Huang Zu rest assured.


    Huang Zu turned his eyes and stared at Huang Hu. He told him seriously: "hu er, from now on, master Xiu is your third brother. You have to listen to the third brother, do you understand? "


    "Don''t worry, Dad. I''ll listen to the third brother."


    Huang Hu''s face was full of excitement. Last night, he had heard from his father that he would follow his third brother to the battlefield to kill the enemy.


    Since he was a child, Huang Hu has become obsessed with martial arts and wants to go to the battlefield to kill him.


    Unfortunately, his father didn''t agree and kept him at home. Now he finally had the chance to go to the battlefield. There was a smile on his face.


    There is no sadness of parting, but the excitement of stepping on the battlefield.


    They soon left Xiling county.


    On the way to Xiangyang, Huang Hu followed Liu Xiu all the time. He is like a curious baby, constantly asking about fighting on the battlefield.


    He was very excited and liked those who fought.


    In a short time, Liu Xiu understood Huang Hu''s temper.


    This boy has a simple head. He only wants to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. He''s just a Wuchi. Huang Hu doesn''t know anything about other worldly things. Just like this, Liu Xiu is very happy. There is no personal guard around him. Huang Hu is the most suitable person to accompany him.


    On the way, Lu Su was killed.


    The news spread rapidly in Jingzhou and even spread in Jiangdong.


    After Sun Quan got the news, he was in agony and vowed to avenge Lu su. Zhou Yu was also angry in his heart and secretly regretted that he had not been able to save Lu su. Of course, this is what he said later.


    In Liu Xiu''s team, Lu Su was completely hidden.


    Out of Jiangxia County, a group of people into the South County, after dark, in Yicheng County temporarily rest. At night, Liu Xiu meets with March and other members of the Ma family. After a long talk, the Ma family left.


    Lu Su''s room, Lu Su face Liu Xiu, expression bitter.


    In the eyes of outsiders, he is dead.


    Liu Xiu looked serious and said slowly, "Zijing, you are dead now. Are you going to be a living dead man like this all the time? You are full of ambition and strategy. Are you willing to be quiet? "


    Liu Xiu appreciates Lu su. If such a person with strategic vision and more ability to arrange troops for his own use, it will be of great help to Liu Xiu''s future development.


    Lu Su was silent, and his expression was very dignified.


    Liu Xiu made a false appearance of his death in advance, which meant that Liu Xiu could not release him.


    It is impossible for Lu Su to escape.


    Liu Xiu continued: "Sun Quan thinks highly of you and let you show your strong points. But Jiangdong has its limitations. The situation in Jiangdong is too small and the space is too small to develop. "


    "If nothing else, Jingzhou is the rock he can''t conquer."


    "You can show your strong points in Jiangdong, but you are only limited to Jiangdong after all."


    Liu Xiu said solemnly: "Zi Jing, work for me! Although I am only the magistrate of you County for the time being, I can promise you not much, but in the future, I will give you the whole world as a stage. "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "I can guarantee that you will not be forced to participate in the process of attacking Jiangdong. If you want to participate, then participate. If you don''t want to participate, then don''t participate. "After hearing this, Lu Su was already moved.


    There is no other reason, because he is already a living dead man. If it goes on, it will only last forever. This is not the situation Lu Su wants. Most importantly, Liu Xiu did not force him to take part in the war with Jiangdong.


    Lu Su was attracted to this point.


    Liu Xiu continued: "Zi Jing, I will not force you. You can let me know when you have figured it out. However, I can tell you for sure that now is the best time, because all the plans have not been implemented in time. If you participate now, you are the one who plays chess and controls the situation. "


    Lu Su took a deep breath and suddenly said, "what do I do?"


    Liu xiudao said: "your first step is to plan the four counties in Jingnan; your second step is to plan the land of Yizhou and Bashu."


    In a word, it exposed Liu Xiu''s ambition.


    In fact, Liu Xiu could not let Lu Su help plan for Jiangdong. After all, Lu Su was from Jiangdong. If Lu Su mixed selfishness in the plan, it may cause a fatal blow to Liu Xiu.


    For Liu Xiu, planning the four counties in Jingnan and the next Yizhou could give Lu Su something to do and increase Liu Xiu''s power.


    Lu Su narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "master Xiu wants to plan the four counties in Jingnan. Is he trying to take the four counties in Jingnan as the foundation?"


    Liu Xiu said: "in a short time, the four counties in Jingnan are my foundation."


    Lu Su nodded and said, "OK, I promise you."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "Mr. Zijing, you won''t regret today''s decision."


    Lu Su said: "I don''t know if I will regret it. All I know is that I''ve been on the boat. " For the current situation, Lu Su is also forced, he can not change, can only choose to agree.


    Liu xiudao: "did Zijing''s family receive Jingzhou?"


    Lu Su nodded: "the main public security platoon to create a fire, the mother quietly from Jiangdong is." Today, Lu Su is still alone, not married, only the old mother left at home. When he was in Jingzhou, he was also worried about his mother''s safety.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "well, I''ll arrange it now. It''s late at night. I''ll have a rest early."


    Liu Xiu got up and left, leaving Lu Su alone in the room.


    Lying on the bed, Lu Su tossed and turned, difficult to fall asleep. In his mind, the faces of Jiangdong, or friends, or relatives, or boss.


    In the end, everyone left him.


    I don''t know when Lu Su fell asleep.


    After daybreak the next day, the party washed up and set off again. Lu Su follows Liu Xiu''s side, has already changed his costume, and is wearing a hat. A piece of gauze hung down the edge of the hat to cover his face.

 Chapter 191

    According to Sun Quan''s plan, taishici suddenly entered Ancheng county when Liu Xiu was greeting his family.


    Sure enough, there was no defense in Ancheng county. Just as Huang Zhong stood on the tower, looking at Tai Shici under the city, his mouth lit up a faint smile.


    Up to now, he has been kept in the dark.


    The news of Liu Xiu''s departure from Jiangdong has already spread, but it has not yet reached taishici. We can see how stuffy the news of taishici is.


    However, Huang Zhong has been informed.


    Huang Zhong stares at Tai Shici under the city and says in a loud voice: "Tai Shici, this General Huang Zhong, don''t you recognize him?"


    "The loser!"


    For Huang Zhong, Tai Shici naturally knows.


    He fought Liu Pan several times, and he knew Huang Zhong''s strength.


    Huang Zhonglang said: "Tai Shici, I''m so confident. It''s a pity that you are a frog in the bottom of the well, and you are self righteous. "


    Tai Shici snorted coldly and said: "Liu Xiu is not in you County, especially Liu Xiu is deeply involved in Wu County, so he can''t come back. Huang Zhong, open the city and surrender immediately. You can be a minister in the same hall with Liu Xiu. Otherwise, you can only become the soul of the general. "


    Huang Zhong laughed and said, "ridiculous, ridiculous!"


    Tai Shici''s brow was wrinkled into a Sichuan character, and Huang Zhong laughed. Is there anything else I can''t rely on?


    Huang Zhong said: "taishici, thanks to you guarding Yuzhang County, don''t you pay attention to the outside news? On October 28, my grandfather met in Wu County. Sun Quan repented of his marriage and intended to murder him. Finally, the Lord escaped from Wu County. Besides, the Lord captured Lu su. "


    After a pause, Huang Zhong said: "now, the Lord has returned to Jingzhou safely, and Lu Su has been killed because of his escape. This time, Jiangdong not only did not kill the Lord, but also lost Lu su. Do you still feel proud of yourself


    In a word, Tai Shici''s eyes widened, and his eyes showed an unbelievable look.


    How is that possible?


    Liu Xiu escaped from Jiangdong!


    Lu Su was killed!


    This, this, how is this possible?


    The news that Tai Shici got before was that Sun Quan wanted to detain Liu Xiu, so it was impossible for Sun Quan to murder Liu Xiu. There were endless doubts in his heart.


    The soldiers under his command were a clamor.


    The morale of high morale was suddenly frustrated.


    Huang Zhonglang said: "Tai Shici, do you really think it''s your ability to reach you county? It''s just too much. When my Lord went to Jiangdong, he had expected that you would lead the soldiers to kill him. So he made arrangements early to let the county magistrate of Ancheng county and Chaling County let you pass without resistance. So, you can arrive at you County smoothly


    "Now, you go deep into the hinterland, go deep alone, lack of food and grass, can you still be arrogant?"


    "You have divided your troops to guard Ancheng county and Chaling County. The soldiers left behind have already been eradicated. How can you rely on the thousands of soldiers trapped in you county? "


    Huang Zhong''s fighting spirit was high. The more he said, the more excited he was. He said in a loud voice: "today, I will kill you at one stroke. Without you, Tai Shici, it''s just around the corner to enter Yuzhang county. "


    Jiangdong soldiers outside the city were in an uproar and were afraid.


    Alone!


    They are alone!


    The road in the rear was blocked.


    The atmosphere of fear spread rapidly in the army like a plague. Only the soldiers in the front of the array can hear Huang Zhong''s voice, but the soldiers quickly spread the news in the army.


    There was a look of worry in his eyes.


    It''s a trick!


    The other side deliberately lured the enemy in, took the opportunity to attack the morale of the army, and then took the opportunity to fight back.


    Now. Morale is down!


    Under such circumstances, it is impossible to attack you county again. Even after the situation reversed, it was not he who attacked Huang Zhong, but Huang Zhong who came to cover him up.


    "Open the gate!"


    Huang Zhong stood on the tower, waving an order.


    "Creak! Creak


    The suspension bridge is down and the gate is wide open.


    "Boom!"


    A group of cavalry, rapid surge away.


    "Whew! Whew


    Cavalry sprint, accompanied by the charge of cavalry, is a dense rain of arrows. The arrow rain opened the way, and hundreds of cavalry came out. They went straight to the army under the command of taishici.


    Behind the cavalry, there were a lot of infantry.


    "Kill Tai Shici!"


    "Kill


    "Kill


    The cry of killing reverberated in the air.


    The army of you County rushed out and quickly killed Tai Shici.


    Huang Zhong went down from the city tower to command the army.


    "Withdraw, withdraw immediately."


    Taishici knew that his soldiers didn''t want to fight. In this case, it was unwise to fight with Huang Zhong again. In particular, once the army is entangled, it will be difficult for him to get away.


    Eight thousand soldiers retreated, one by one panicked and ran about.Tarshis led the army to withdraw, and his heart was cold. I thought this battle was the prelude to winning Changsha County, but I didn''t expect that Liu Xiu had already laid a trap.


    The team was killed and suffered heavy losses.


    When taishici''s army withdrew into Chaling County, the army of Chaling County immediately intercepted.


    Taishici saw the magistrate of Chaling County and a young man with a pinch of white hair in his eyebrows. Seeing this, he knew that his 1000 soldiers stationed in Chaling County had been taken.


    In this war, the army under his command suffered heavy losses, and his soldiers were less than 4000.


    After a long run from you County, more than half of the soldiers lost.


    After Huang Zhong and Chaling County''s army converged, they kept on chasing, so that taishici was still in the process of continuous retreat. When his army entered the territory of Ancheng County, it was blocked by the army of Ancheng county.


    The troops of Ancheng county have dealt a heavy blow to taishici.


    Obviously, one thousand soldiers of taishici stationed in Ancheng county have also been taken by the other side.


    Taishici retreated all the way. Although he was blocked everywhere, he finally escaped without danger. When he went to Changsha County, there were 10000 soldiers. After he withdrew, there were only 1000 soldiers left.


    After entering Yuzhang County, Huang Zhong''s army is still pursuing and killing.


    At this time, the heart of Tai Shici had begun to despair. When the situation was at its worst, sun Ben came with his army. Sun Ben, the prefect of Yuzhang County, joined with his soldiers. The situation reversed and Huang Zhongcai withdrew and returned.


    The tired tisci was able to take a breath.


    Barracks, big accounts of the Chinese army.


    Tess looked tired and haggard. He looked at Sun Ben and said gratefully, "thanks to sun Taishou for this war. Without the help of sun Tai Shou, I would have been captured alive for half a day at most. "


    Sun Ben sighed and said, "I didn''t know until I received the letter from the governor of Dadu. Du Du wrote to say that you should be on guard in Changsha county to avoid falling into the trap. In the letter, Du Du said about Liu Xiu in Jiangdong. He said that if you enter Changsha County, you may be ambushed. I was worried about your safety, so I immediately led the troops there, just in time for you to withdraw. "


    Tai Shici sighed and said, "I heard Huang Zhong say that Liu Xiu escaped and killed Lu su. What''s the matter?"


    Sun Ben looked helpless and said what happened in Wu County.


    Tai Shici looked surprised. He didn''t expect that Liu Xiu had done so many things in a short time in Wu County. Moreover, Liu Xiu was so cruel that he played Zhou Yu and others around.


    After that, sun Ben said: "this time, Lu Su was killed and Jiangdong suffered a heavy loss. Fortunately, you came back safely, otherwise the loss would be greater. "


    The thought of the soldier''s loss convulsed his heart.


    Ten thousand troops, less than one thousand of them have returned. The loss is so great that it is a heavy blow.

 Chapter 192

    Xiangyang, the prefecture of animal husbandry.


    In the hall, Liu biaotan sat on the throne, a little depressed.


    Below, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Yi Ji, Zhang Yun and other cultural ministers and generals all sit on their knees.


    With a smile on his face, Yi Ji said excitedly: "Lord, on the surface, Sun Quan of Jiangdong is married to Jingzhou, but in fact, he intends to detain xiugongzi and murder xiugongzi. Fortunately, xiugongzi inherited the courage and resourcefulness of his master, maneuvered in Jiangdong, and returned to Jingzhou without danger. Today, Lu Su, the counselor under Sun Quan''s account, is killed, and Sun Quan is beheaded. Jiangdong is less threatening to Jingzhou. "


    As soon as the words came out, other people in the hall looked at Yi Ji with admiration.


    This way of flattering is really different. The standard is good.


    The expression on Liu Biao''s face showed pride. In Liu Biao''s opinion, Liu Xiu is so powerful that he naturally inherited his fine blood.


    Liu Biao said: "Xiuer''s performance on this mission to Jiangdong is really excellent."


    Cai Mao sighed in his heart that in such a place as Jiangdong, Liu Xiu could not be killed. Liu Xiu was indeed blessed. Cai Mao turned his eyes and said, "master Xiu is about to return to Xiangyang. What specifications should we make this time to meet him?"


    The so-called specifications are met by officials of what grade.


    Is Liu Biao there in person? Or is it led by Yi Ji, Kuai Yue or Cai Mao? Each official represents a different level and has a different nature.


    All this requires Liu Biao to determine the candidate.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came in.


    The soldier came in, bowed himself and reported, "my Lord, Mr. Cong wants to see you."


    "Let him in!"


    Liu Biao waved his hand and showed a smile on his face.


    In Liu Biao''s eyes, Liu Cong is very intelligent and sensible, which is his pride. Although Liu Cong''s literary talent is slightly insufficient, his loyalty and filial piety are also very good. In addition, Cai, Zhang Yun and Cai Mao often told Liu Biao that Liu Cong had outstanding ability. Liu Biao appreciated Liu Cong very much.


    Soon, Liu Cong came to the hall.


    Liu Cong, wearing a blue robe and a silk scarf, marched forward with his head held high. With a smile on his lips, he is confident and calm, and has an extraordinary reputation.


    "Child Liu Cong, met his father."


    Liu Cong bowed his hands and bowed his hands. His every move revealed the extraordinary character of his aristocratic family.


    Liu Biao said in a deep voice, "my father is discussing business. What can I do for you?"


    Liu Cong said humbly: "I heard that my third brother came back from Jiangdong. I thought that although my third brother escaped from Jiangdong, he must have suffered a lot. Moreover, I miss my third brother. The son asked his father to agree and let him go to meet his third brother. "


    Kuai Yue looked at Cai Mao with a sneer.


    Cai Mao spared no effort for Liu Cong''s sake. As soon as he mentioned the specifications, Liu Cong asked to go.


    Yi Ji and other officials took a look at Cai Mao one after another.


    The officials in the hall are not stupid. After a little thinking, they can see through the trickiness. However, Liu Biao was deeply moved by his father''s kindness, filial piety and brotherhood. He did not see Cai Mao''s tricks at all.


    Liu Biao didn''t even think about it. He waved: "Cong''er has this idea. It''s very good. Well, you go to the gate to meet Xiuer


    "Thank you, father!"


    Liu Cong said with a smile: "the third brother will arrive soon, and his son will leave."


    "Go


    Liu Biao waved his hand and saw Liu Cong leave with a smile on his face.


    Looking around at the officials in the hall, Liu Biao said: "Cong''er, you don''t have to worry. Let''s all go down. When Xiuer returns to Xiangyang, I will invite you to the banquet. "


    And they all said thanks, and turned back.


    Liu Biao, with the help of the attendant, got up slowly and went to the back yard with his back bent.


    Liu Cong went back to his yard, and soon left the prefecture with his attendants and went to the east gate of Xiangyang City. He has been informed in advance that Liu Xiu will return from the east gate.


    Liu Cong proposed to welcome Liu Xiu this time.


    Cai Mao mentioned the specifications in front of Liu Biao, which was also Liu Cong''s suggestion.


    There is no other reason, because this time Liu Cong wanted to teach Liu Xiu face to face.


    After Liu Xiu went to you County, Liu Cong began to recruit subordinates. He recruited four generals, all of whom were strong and powerful. With these four family ministers, Liu Cong''s small tail began to tilt up.


    He took four family members and a group of soldiers to the gate of the city and stopped to wait.


    Liu Cong looked at the four and said in a deep voice, "when the third brother arrives at the gate of the city, I will ask you to carry him to the city. With the character of the third younger brother, I will not agree. Then, you''ll do it. Do you understand? "


    "I understand!"


    Four courtiers, all nodded and answered.


    The four men, the eldest named Zhang Zhu, the second named Meishan, the third named Du he and the fourth named Yan Jun, are all rangers of Xiangyang. They are not from Jingzhou, but from Xinye. When he arrived in Xiangyang, he met Liu Cong to recruit his family members. He volunteered together and was recruited by Liu Cong.When they were in Xinye, they had a hard time.


    Under Liu Cong''s command, he eats meat, drinks and dishes. At night, there are beauties warming the bed. When he enters heaven, he naturally flatters Liu Cong for fear that he won''t be happy.


    At Liu Cong''s command, the four of them looked at each other and made up their mind to treat Liu Xiu well.


    A group of people were waiting, and the sun was drifting West.


    The red sun was hanging in the west, and it was about to go down the mountain, but there was no sign of Liu Xiu on the official road. Liu Cong was waiting at the gate of the city, and his heart was a little agitated.


    "Mr. Cong, there''s a team coming."


    All of a sudden, the eldest Zhang Zhu opened his mouth, and his eyes showed excitement.


    Old two Meishan, old three Duhe, old four Yanjun are also looking forward, looking forward.


    Liu Cong ran to the front and looked at the official road ahead.


    Sure enough, a team of people appeared on the official road ahead.


    With the distance getting closer, gradually, Liu Cong clearly saw Liu Xiu riding on the horse in front of him, and Deng Zhan and others following him. Eight hundred soldiers, protecting Liu Xiu, dare to come to Xiangyang City.


    Liu Cong turned his eyes and said, "remember, wait a minute. I will ask you four to lead Liu Xiu''s horse. When you go up, you''re ready to do it. "


    Seeing Liu Xiu riding on a horse, Liu Cong immediately made adjustments.


    After a short time, Liu Xiu came to the gate with 800 soldiers. Less than ten feet away from Liu Cong, Liu Xiu stopped his horse and said with a smile, "the second brother came to meet him personally. It really moved me."


    Liu Cong said with a smile: "brother Wei has just arrived for a while. It''s not worth mentioning. Zhang Zhu, Meishan, Du he and Yan Jun, go and lead the horse for the third son. "


    As the voice fell, Zhang Zhu, Meishan and other four immediately came out.


    "Stop!"


    Huang Hu stepped out and stood in front of Liu Xiu.


    He stared at Zhang Zhu and others, snorted. Han Han''s face showed a stubborn look, and his eyes were even more fierce. He said, "I''m the one who leads the third brother''s horse. I don''t need you."


    Liu Xiu smell speech, the corner of the mouth also evoked a smile. At this time, Huang Hu''s role is reflected. With a personal guard, things are much more convenient.


    Zhang Zhu and others were stunned.


    Liu Cong shouldered his hands, raised his head and said coldly, "you four, didn''t you hear what I said? The third brother came back from Jiangdong. He worked hard all the way to lead his horse. "


    "Yes


    Four people have to order, foot a step, immediately forward.


    The distance between the two sides was less than ten Zhang. Zhang Zhu, Meishan, Du he and Yan Jun rushed forward and quickly approached. Huang Hu''s eyes were awe inspiring, his mouth was wide open, his eyes were white, his left and right hands were holding the golden hammer of the drum jar, and he directly met him.


    He''s big, but he''s very quick.


    "Hoo


    The golden hammer of the drum jar passed through the air and roared against Zhang Zhu.


    "Pa!"


    The big hammer hit Zhang Zhu''s chest, and in an instant, his chest broke.


    Zhang Zhukou vomited blood, and his burly body flew back directly. He was in the air, and his seven orifices were bleeding. Boom, Zhang Zhu fell to the ground, no breath.


    Huang Hu stands like a beast. He holds a golden hammer in his hands and stares at Meishan, Duhe and Yanjun who stop. He says in a cold voice, "one step further, there will be no amnesty for killing."

 Chapter 193

    There was a smile in Liu Xiu''s eyes. It seems that during the period when he left, Liu Cong recruited some more profitable thugs and wanted to show them.


    Unfortunately, this idea doesn''t work.


    Liu Xiu took a look at Huang Hu and asked faintly, "second brother, do you want them to lead the horse?"


    Eyes, showing endless banter.


    Liu Cong''s mouth twitches. He stares at Huang Hu with a look of fear in his eyes. Liu Cong thought that Zhang Zhu and the other four could easily subdue Liu Xiu, leaving Liu Xiu with no luster on his face.


    Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhu was killed in person.


    Even though Liu Cong was a fool, he also saw that the two sides were not at the same level. To let Meishan, Yanjun and Du rush up is to let them die.


    Liu Cong turned his mind and said with a smile, "the third brother is joking. I meant to let Zhang Zhu lead you a horse. Unexpectedly, he intended to be unfavorable to the third brother and should be killed."


    "Du he, Meishan and Yanjun, take back Zhang Zhu''s body."


    Liu Cong didn''t want to lose face and ordered immediately.


    Du he three people, carry Zhang Zhu''s body, prepare to leave.


    Liu Xiu said, "wait a minute!"


    Three people smell speech, have to stop.


    Liu Cong felt uneasy and asked with a straight face, "third brother, what are you doing?"


    Liu Xiu said, "when I do things, it''s not my turn to interrupt. Shut up."


    In a word, it''s a shame.


    Liu Cong''s face showed an angry look. He suddenly felt that his preparation was too inadequate, and even took the initiative to challenge Liu Xiu. He shouldn''t believe Zhang Zhu and others so easily that he has lost face now.


    Sipping his mouth, Liu Cong said nothing.


    Standing at the gate of the city, Liu Cong felt very embarrassed and uncomfortable.


    Liu Xiu stared at Meishan, Du he and Yanjun and said slowly, "I think you are driven by others to offend my son. Otherwise, you will be dead like Zhang Zhu."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "I''m a little curious. Are you blind or have you been kicked by a donkey, and I''m willing to work for my second brother. Choosing a good master can decide your future. Go back and think about it carefully. Don''t be blind again. You see, just now, Zhang Zhu, who died, was ordered to act, but he was killed because he intended to offend me. It''s a pity. "


    Liu Cong shook his face and clenched his fist.


    It was a slap in the face, and it was a slap in the face. It was too cruel. Du he, Meishan and Yanjun took a look at Liu Xiu and Liu Cong, then turned and left.


    Liu Cong said: "third brother, go to the city."


    "Be quiet!"


    Liu Xiu opens his mouth and stares at Liu Cong coldly.


    In a flash, Liu Cong''s heart trembled and his eyes showed a trace of fear. Invisible, he was frightened by Liu Xiu''s momentum, it is incredible. In the eyes of countless people, Liu Cong has no face.


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "Hu Zi, please come here."


    "Good!"


    Huang Hu opened his mouth and showed his big white teeth. He went to Liu Cong and said, "second son, third son, please go there."


    Liu Cong''s eyes widened when he heard the speech.


    Second?


    This silly big man dare to call him the second.


    Liu Cong stares at Huang Hu. But before Liu Cong delivers the goods, Huang Hu is angry. He holds the golden hammer in his hand and stares at Liu Cong with round eyes.


    In the hands of the drum urn gold hammer, slowly raised.


    Senbai''s teeth, a trace of cold, that cold killing, let Liu Cong heart tremble.


    "Hum..."


    Liu Cong worried about angering Huang Hu, quickly put Huang Hu aside and came to Liu Xiu''s side.


    Standing beside Liu Xiu''s horse, his momentum suddenly dropped.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "Deng Zhan, don''t you see that the second young master doesn''t have any horses? If you let the second young master stand, it''s just like the groom. Quickly transfer a war horse to come over, don''t let the second childe wait for a long time. "


    "Yes, it will be dispatched immediately."


    Deng Zhan was ordered to gallop away.


    Pang Tong stood by and looked at the scene with a smile in his heart. Liu Cong wants to give Liu Xiu a bad impression, but Liu Cong thinks carefully, how can he be Liu Xiu''s opponent? Now Liu Xiu has no ability to parry.


    Liu Cong stood beside Liu Xiushen. For a long time, no soldiers came with their horses. At the moment, Liu Cong is suffering physically and mentally. He has a strong sense of regret in his heart. Regret shouldn''t have come.


    Liu Xiu stared at Liu Cong and said slowly, "second brother, I''ve only been away from Xiangyang for a few months. Does the second brother feel that he has grown up a lot and wants to compete with me? "


    Liu Cong hummed and did not speak.


    Liu Xiu continued: "the last time I met my second brother, I made it very clear with him. It seems that the second brother has no long memory. Second brother, do you want me to beat you again? "Reckless words, make Liu Cong face without light.


    Liu Xiu continued: "I told my second brother that you should go your way and I''ll cross my log bridge. Second brother, don''t provoke me. Then, I won''t provoke him either. "


    "Killing Zhang Zhu this time makes you lose face in public. It''s a small lesson for the second brother."


    "If you do it again next time, you will be responsible for the consequences."


    Liu Xiu looked back and waved, "Deng Zhan, where are the horses?"


    "Lord, come, come."


    Deng Zhan answered, and the soldier came with a horse.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "second brother, get on the horse."


    Liu Cong''s expressionless face, like a puppet, turned over and mounted the horse. He took a deep breath, looked at Liu Xiu and asked tentatively, "third brother, are you going to the city now?"


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "second brother still wants to hang out at the gate of the city. I don''t mind."


    "Into town!"


    Liu Cong opened his mouth, and immediately, a large group of people entered the city.


    The army led by Deng Zhan settled down in the school yard in the city, while Liu Xiu and Liu Cong returned to the prefecture.


    In the mansion, Liu Xiu and Liu Cong went to the study together.


    In the study, Liu Biao is reading a book.


    Liu Xiu saluted respectfully and said, "father, my son is back."


    Liu Biao expressed his appreciation in his eyes and said, "just come back. I''ve suffered a lot along the way."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "my son doesn''t work hard, and it''s quite smooth to come back all the way."


    "Compared with the busy father and second brother in Jingzhou, the son is much more relaxed."


    "Just now, on the way back to the house, my son chatted with my second brother and learned that my father was still busy with government affairs all day, so my son felt guilty. The son is out and can''t share the government affairs for his father, so he has to rely on his second brother. "


    Liu Xiu looked like a filial son and said, "my father is old, so there is no need to do everything by himself. The second brother is by his father''s side. Let the second brother share some, and the father can be more relaxed. "


    Liu Cong was overjoyed.


    Although on the way back, Liu Xiu did not ask about Liu Biao at all. But Liu Xiu persuaded Liu Biao to delegate power, which is undoubtedly a very good thing.


    Liu Xiu said to his father, "it''s nothing to worry about. Your second brother''s ability is good, but compared with you, it''s much worse and needs a lot of honing. "


    In a word, Liu Cong''s mouth twitched and he secretly scolded the old man for not devolving power.


    Liu xiudao: "the father praises his son too much. His sons are forced out. Before going to you County, my son didn''t know anything, but now he is much better. I believe the second brother will do well as long as he does it. "


    "That''s true!"


    Liu Biao smell speech, eyes slightly squint, looked at Liu Cong one eye.


    A cold light flashed in Liu Biao''s eyes.


    Liu Biao is old. Although he dotes on Liu Cong, he will never allow Liu Cong to interfere with his rights. Liu Xiuyue recommended Liu Cong, but Liu Biao was more and more uncomfortable.


    Liu Cong thought to himself: Liu Xiu, don''t think I will appreciate you. When I take power, I will be the first to deal with you. But he didn''t know that he had been sold by Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu talked about the interesting things on the way back, coaxed Liu Biao, and then left with Liu Cong.

 Chapter 194

    At night, the lights are bright in the prefecture.


    In the middle of the hall, the atmosphere was warm.


    Liu biaotan sat on the top, dressed in Chinese clothes, ruddy complexion and bright eyes. In the face of the crowd, the wrinkles on his face seemed to have dissipated a lot, and he was very energetic. As a matter of fact, after Liu Xiu''s visit, Liu Biao had a ginseng tablet. It didn''t take long. Under the stimulation of ginseng tablet, his depressed spirit recovered a lot.


    Then, Liu Biao summoned his generals.


    Jingzhou officials, big and small, gathered together.


    Liu Biao held a banquet to celebrate Liu Xiu''s return and show off in front of Jingzhou Wenwu. Liu Xiu went to Jiangdong, killed Lu Su, played tricks on Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and others, and made Jiangdong lose face. This is Liu Xiu''s credit.


    In the final analysis, Liu Xiu is Liu Biao''s son, so this is the glory of Liu Biao and Jingzhou.


    In this way, it is natural to have a banquet to celebrate.


    Liu Biao, as the leader of Jingzhou, took the lead in speaking. In his modesty, he boasted about himself. After that, he raised his glass to drink with the public. Then, the civil and military generals in the lobby touted one after another. The target of touting not only covered Liu Xiu, but also took care of Liu Biao''s emotions.


    Liu Xiu sat in the hall, with a smile on his face. He was still neither humble nor overbearing.


    No matter who comes to offer a toast, Liu Xiu will not refuse.


    The atmosphere of the banquet is getting hotter and hotter.


    After drinking a few glasses of wine, Liu Biao had a flush on his face. His eyes swept through the hall of talent, the heart of infinite pride and pride.


    All this was created by Liu Biao.


    Because of him, Jingzhou has been in Taiping for more than ten years.


    Because of him, Jingzhou people and scholars enjoyed peace and were not affected by the war.


    Liu Biao was full of pride in his chest, carrying a bottle of wine, and said again, "come on, drink. I''m old, and I don''t drink as much as I did before. Today I can have a good drink with you, and I''m in a good mood


    After hearing this, everyone drank.


    Suddenly, in the hall, a civil servant stood up.


    This man is eight feet long, about 30 years old, with red lips, white teeth and a face like jade. He has three short whiskers under his jaw. He has deep eyes, calm face and extraordinary bearing.


    Liu Xiu knew this man. His name was Liu Xian. He was Liu Biao''s BIE Jia. His official position was similar to that of Yi nationality.


    Liu Xian''s face, also a little more red. Standing in the lobby, he arched his hand and said, "Lord, I have a humble opinion, but I don''t know whether to say it or not."


    Liu Biao is in the mood, waving: "it''s OK to say so."


    Liu Xian said: "the Lord is in charge of Jingzhou, but he has never made a successor. Liu Qi, the eldest son, Liu Cong, the second son, and Liu Xiu, the third son, have all grown up. It''s time to have a son. "


    Once these words came out, the situation in the hall changed.


    All of them look solemn.


    In Jingzhou, Shizi is the most taboo topic. So far, Liu Biao has not considered who will inherit Jingzhou.


    Liu first made the matter clear, and the conflict suddenly appeared.


    Liu Biao''s expression became very serious. He regained his consciousness and asked, "who is the most suitable person in Shizong''s opinion?"


    Liu Xian zhengse way: "humble position, should establish long.". Therefore, I think that we should make childe Qi the son of the world. "


    In a word, it stirred up the emotions of CAI Mao, Zhang Yun and others.


    Among the officials in the hall, the atmosphere became more dignified. Looking at Liu Xian one by one, they all looked puzzled. At this time, how did Liu Xian suddenly raise the topic of establishing a son of the world? This is clearly not the right time.


    Kuai Yue glanced at Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiuwei shook his head.


    Suddenly, Kuai understood.


    In Kuai Yue''s heart, he also had a plan and praised Liu Xiu for his calmness. Kuai Yue wants to ask Liu Xiu if he also proposes to establish Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu shakes his head and denies it. Obviously, he has no intention of making a breakthrough.


    As a matter of fact, it is not appropriate for Liu Xiu to come out. From the beginning to the end, Liu Biao did not show his intention to let Liu Xiu be the son of the world. Once Kuai Yue puts it forward, it is easy for Liu Biao to reject Liu Xiu.


    Yi Ji and Wen pin are sitting in the hall, paying attention to Liu Xiu''s changes, and seeing the movements between Kuai Yue and Liu Xiu, they all understand each other.


    Liu Biao''s eyes slowly withdrew from Liu Xian.


    Liu Biao said: "there is a certain truth in Shizong''s proposal. Do you have any other opinions, gentlemen? "


    Sitting in the hall, Liu Cong couldn''t sit still with a needle on his buttocks. He looked at Cai Mao and motioned to him to open his mouth. Cai Mao knew that he had to make a clear gesture at this time. He stood up and said, "my Lord, I think we should set up a virtuous man and set up Cong as the son of the world."


    In a word, Liu Cong was pushed out.


    Zhang Yun stood up and echoed: "Lord, Cong is loyal and filial, and his ability is outstanding. As the son of Jingzhou, he will certainly be able to take on a great responsibility. "


    As soon as Zhang Yun''s words were finished, another person came out of the hall. He was a distinguished man, Fu Xun, a guest of Liu Biao. He looked calm and said: "since ancient times, for the sake of long-term peace and stability, they are all Li di. Mr. Qi is not only his own son, but also his eldest son. I think that Mr. Qi should be registered. In this way, Jingzhou will have long-term stability. "After Liu Cong heard this, there was a fierce light in his eyes, but Fu Xun turned a blind eye to it.


    As Fu Xun opened his mouth, the generals of Wen, Chen and Wu spoke one after another in the hall and chose their own camp.


    Yi Ji and Kuai Yue kept their mouth shut and never spoke.


    Some neutral officials also sat quietly.


    Liu Xiu looked at the official arguments in the hall, especially the insistence of Liu Xian and Fu Xun, and felt sorry for Liu Qi. So many people are on Liu Qi''s side. Unfortunately, Liu Qi can''t take it for his own use.


    Liu Biao sat at the top and asked again, "do you have another opinion, gentlemen?"


    When he spoke, he took a look at Liu Xiu.


    However, both Yi Ji and Kuai Yue did not speak.


    Liu Biao suddenly asked, "Xiuer, what do you think?"


    In a word, Liu Xiu was involved.


    Liu Xiu was also very surprised. He didn''t expect Liu Biao to ask for his opinions.


    Liu Xiu stood up and said without hesitation: "my son doesn''t know how to choose when I set up my son. The elder brother is kind and filial, and the second brother has outstanding ability. They are all good candidates. The son thinks that no matter who the father chooses as his son, the son will obey his father''s decision and his arrangement. "


    With these words, Liu Biao''s eyes showed appreciation.


    After hearing this, Yi Ji and Kuai Yue also appreciated it, which was undoubtedly the most appropriate. The older Liu Biao was, the more he grasped power and the more he was afraid of his son. At this time, anxious to be a son of the world, but caused Liu Biao''s fear.


    Liu Biao turned his eyes and said, "Uncle Ji, what do you think of the event of establishing a son of the world?"


    Yi Ji said with a smile: "I will obey the Lord''s advice."


    Liu Biao looked at Kuai Yue again and asked, "what do you think of Yidu?"


    Kuai Yue replied, "it''s a matter of great importance for Jingzhou to establish a son, but it''s also a matter of the Lord''s family. Therefore, I think that whoever the LORD chooses is the one. The most important thing is that Mr. Qi and Mr. Cong are both good. They are not bad at choosing anyone. It''s all up to the Lord. "


    In a word, he kicked the ball back.


    At the same time, Kuai Yue put Liu Biao first, and Liu Biao was more comfortable.


    Looking at the officials under his command, he said in a deep voice: "it''s very good that all of you are concerned about the future of Jingzhou, but I''m also weighing whether to choose Qi''er, Cong''er or Xiu''er. I''ll give you a reply after I think it over. "


    After hearing this, the officials stopped arguing.


    However, the way they look at Liu Xiu has a different meaning.


    Liu Biao openly put Liu Xiu into the scope of choice, which means that Liu Xiu can compete for the position of son of the world. It was thought that Liu Xiu was a commoner and difficult to participate. With Liu Biao, the situation is different.


    Liu Xiu smiles in his heart. Liu Biao''s words give him room to operate.


    Because of Liu Xian''s disturbance, even after the party was restored, the atmosphere became warm again. However, everyone seemed to have something on their mind. On the surface, they talked and laughed happily, but each had his own thoughts.


    After the banquet, they left separately.


    Liu Xiu dragged his tired body back to his yard.

 Chapter 195

    In November, the autumn wind is bleak and everything is dead.


    On the hillside, the cold wind was blowing.


    After Liu Xiu, Pang Tong and Huang Hu went up the mountain, they met Pang Degong in the hall. In winter, pound was dressed in thick clothes and a cloak. In old age, people can''t stand air conditioning, and their spirit is much worse.


    Liu Xiu saluted and said, "teacher, the disciples are back."


    In the words, with happiness, but also with the joy of goodbye teacher. For Liu Xiu, the significance of Pang Tong''s existence is even more profound than Liu Biao''s.


    Pang Tong said, "uncle, I''m back, too."


    Smiling face, with joy, but that face really let people feel a little joy.


    With a proud look on his face, pound said, "just come back. It means that Sun Quan''s plan of Jiangdong has failed."


    Liu xiudao said: "this mission to Jiangdong is a fruitful one."


    "What have you got?" he asked


    Liu Xiumian with a smile, slowly said: "this time the harvest, roughly three."


    "Liu Xiu was in high spirits in his eyes and said:" all this was sent by Sun Quan himself. In this war, Sun Quan lost his general and his troops. The loss was too great. "


    Pang Degong stroked his beard and asked, "isn''t Lu Su dead?"


    Liu Xiu said: "I''m worried that Sun Quan will send someone to find his father, and then he will have to hand over Lu su. Therefore, let Lu Su feign death in advance. Lu Su became a living dead man, unable to show himself in public again, and finally had to work for me. "


    "It''s good to be preemptive," pound praised


    After a pause, pound said fairly, "how did you get out of the predicament when you went to Jiangdong to meet your bride? Tell me in detail."


    Liu Xiu said: "when the disciples arrived in Jiangdong, they took advantage of the resentment of Jiangdong''s local aristocratic family against the sun family, and the resentment of Xu Gong''s remaining sin against the sun family, and let them do it..."


    From the beginning of the layout, to the escape, and finally back to Jiangxia, Liu Xiu simply said it again.


    After hearing this, Pang Degong praised: "Sun Quan and Zhou Yu have been teased by you and played a good game of chess."


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, the housekeeper Pang Fu came in.


    "Master, Huang Chengyan and Huang Yueying are here," Pang reported


    "Come on, please." Pound is fair.


    "Don''t ask. I''ve come." Huang Chengyan''s loud voice came from outside.


    He was wearing a black robe and a tiger skin cloak. When he came in, he stared at Liu Xiu and hummed: "if it wasn''t for his daughter''s failure, I wouldn''t come up."


    In a word, pound suddenly laughed.


    Huang Yueying stands behind Huang Chengyan and blushes. Her face, which is already flushed by the cold wind, is boiling hot.


    After sitting down, Huang Chengyan said: "repair boy, how to solve the marriage?"


    It''s true that Huang Chengyan knows the news of Jiangdong''s repentance of marriage and that Liu Xiu doesn''t need to marry sun Shangxiang, but he has a knot in his heart when he thinks of Liu Xiu''s going to Jiangdong to meet his bride.


    The more the father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, the more unhappy he gets.


    Liu Xiu took a look at Huang Yueying and said briefly what happened in Jiangdong.


    Huang Chengyan still wanted to speak, but he was interrupted by Pang Degong and said: "Chengyan, two young people haven''t seen each other for a long time. Naturally, there are many private words. Don''t chatter like a mother-in-law. Let them go down."


    "You..."


    Huang Chengyan raised his eyebrows, but he hummed.


    With a wave of his hand, Huang Chengyan said, "OK, let''s go down."


    Liu Xiu bowed his hand to Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan, and left the hall with Huang Yueying.


    They went out of their house and walked slowly in the mountains.


    When the cold wind blows, Liu Xiu holds Huang Yueying''s shoulder and talks about going to Jiangdong. Finally, Liu Xiu joked: "Yueying, is she disappointed that she didn''t become a concubine?"


    Huang Yueying snorted, reached out and hit Liu Xiu on the shoulder. She said angrily, "you''ll make fun of me. At that time, there was no way."


    Liu Xiu smiles and holds Huang Yueying''s hand, but it is tighter.


    Huang Yueying said, "let''s go down the mountain. I have something to show you."


    "What is it?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Huang Yueying pretended to be mysterious and said mysteriously: "you can see it."


    Liu Xiu was curious and asked Huang Yueying, but Huang Yueying never said it, which aroused Liu Xiu''s curiosity. After going down the mountain, they came to Huang Yueying''s yard.


    "Wait, I''ll be out in a minute," said Huang


    Liu Xiu was kept in the dark and could not guess, so he had to wait. After a while, Huang Yueying came out. In her hand, Huang Yueying held a tubular device forged by iron, about a foot long and about an inch and a half in diameter.


    Huang Yueying said excitedly, "this is for you."


    "For me?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were filled with curiosity.


    Up to now, Liu Xiu doesn''t know what Huang Yueying''s device is for.Huang Yueying said: "this is my specially made sleeve arrow. It''s tied to my arm and can shoot a small arrow. Although there is only one small arrow, it can play the role of self-defense in critical times. At the beginning, if you had a sleeve arrow on your arm when you fought with Deng Li, this sleeve arrow could play a fatal attack. "


    "I''ll show you."


    Huang Yueying holds the quiver and presses the switch on it.


    "Whew!"


    The light of the arrow flickered, and the little arrow shot out and slapped into the wall of the yard. Its arrow, has been completely shot into the wall, the force is very large.


    Huang Yueying took out the specially made arrow, filled it, and said, "just tie the sleeve arrow to your arm. It''s not heavy and easy to carry. It doesn''t matter to you


    Liu Xiu was deeply moved.


    It was because she met Deng Li in lumen mountain that she thought of doing this.


    Everything is for his safety.


    Liu Xiu rolled up the sleeve of his left hand and let Huang Yueying tie up the arrow. Huang Yueying made a silk ribbon half a foot long and one foot wide, tied the ribbon to Liu Xiu''s arm to ensure the comfort of Liu Xiu''s arm, and then tied the sleeve arrow.


    When everything was finished, Huang Yueying''s face showed a look of joy.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Yueying and couldn''t help kissing her. At that time, Huang Yueying stood still. She struggled twice and finally fell.


    After the kiss, Huang Yueying''s face has been all over the red tide, bashful way: "bad guys, in broad daylight, more humiliating."


    Liu Xiu said, "do you mean to wait for me in the evening?"


    Huang Yueying''s eyes showed a joking look and said with a smile: "if you want to come, your father will break your leg. Hum, what will you do then?"


    Liu xiudao: "it''s OK. I can run fast."


    Huang Yueying said, "Dad, close the door and let the dog go. It depends on how you run."


    They talked and laughed and joked. After leaving the Huang family, they went up to lumen mountain. This evening, Pang Degong held a banquet on the mountain, with the participation of Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui, Pang Tong, Liu Xiu, Pang Shanmin, Pang Lin and others.


    This is the first time that Liu Xiu has been so busy since he left lumen mountain.


    On the one hand, Pang Tong, Liu Xiu and others are not here, Zhuge Liang has become an official, Xu Shu, Meng Jian and others are busy with their own affairs; on the other hand, Pang Degong likes to be quiet, so few people come.


    So few people came except Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan.


    Liu Xiu''s return brought the pangs and Huang family together, and the atmosphere was rarely lively. That night, Pang Tong performed two dances and Liu Xiu wrote two poems. In the end, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan were all drunk, and Pang Tong was even more drunk.


    Only Liu Xiu and Huang Hu are still sober.


    Huang Hu drinks muggy wine alone, and everyone takes care of him, but he enjoys himself while drinking and eating meat. At the beginning of the banquet, he ate meat and drank wine. At the end of the banquet, he was still drinking and eating meat.


    Liu Xiu asked Pang Fu to send people to rest, and then he took Huang Hu to rest.

 Chapter 196

    At the foot of lumen mountain, winding water surrounds it.


    In a house, cooking smoke chat, is preparing lunch. This house is surrounded by bamboo to form a fence. Inside is a bamboo house.


    In the yard, a middle-aged man was chopping wood.


    Under the eaves, a gray haired old woman was cooking.


    "Yuanzhi, when Mr. Xiu visited you, he invited you to become an official. Why didn''t you agree? He set a one-year deadline? If Mr. Xiu can''t meet your requirements next year, what will you do? "


    She had a kind face, clear eyes and a trace of fortitude.


    The middle-aged man is Xu Shu.


    At the beginning, Liu Xiu asked Pang Degong to send someone to Yingchuan to meet Xu Shu''s mother, and finally took her to lumen mountain. At first, Xu''s mother and Deng AI''s mother lived on the mountain, but Xu Shu lived at the foot of the mountain. Xu''s mother missed her son and moved down the mountain to live with him.


    When Pang''s family learned that they were going to build a new house for Xu Shu, Xu''s mother refused.


    Three or two bamboo houses are enough.


    As long as her son is around, Xu''s mother feels very satisfied.


    But after she learned about Xu Shu''s agreement with Liu Xiu, she felt that Xu Shu was too proud. Liu Xiu is the son of Liu Jingzhou. He is a rightful royal family member. He pays homage to the Emperor himself. He is the one who has seen the emperor.


    Xu Shu did not look up to it and agreed on a one-year deadline.


    Xu''s mother was angry and resentful, but she had nothing to do.


    With a quiet smile on his face, Xu Shu said: "mother, xiugongzi can''t win Yuzhang County in a year, it can only prove that his son''s vision is not good. But the son believes that it is not difficult. "


    Immediately, Xu Shu said something about Liu Xiu that happened recently.


    Xu Shu has nothing to hide from his mother.


    After hearing this, Xu''s mother showed a smile on her face and said, "this young monk is really powerful. It''s not easy to make a big start at a young age. "


    Xu Shu sighed: "it''s really extraordinary to break into the foundation with the body of a common son."


    Mother and mother were talking first. Suddenly, the dog in the yard barked wildly.


    "Woof! Woof


    The dog barked. Xu Shu stood up and looked out of the yard. He was stunned when his pupils shrank. Immediately, he said: "mother, take the dog home and clean it up. Here comes xiugongzi."


    On the official road, Liu Xiu came with Huang Hu.


    There is no big hammer in the jar. There is no big yellow bag.


    Xu Shu opened the door, arched his hand and said, "master Xiu, please."


    Liu xiudao: "brother Yuanzhi, excuse me."


    Entering the yard, Xu''s mother came up with a smile on her face and said, "I''ve seen Mr. Xiu."


    Liu Xiu, as a younger generation, replied: "aunt doesn''t have to be like this. Yuanzhi and I are the same elder martial brothers. Aunt is Yuanzhi''s mother, which is also equivalent to the younger generation''s mother. There is no mother who salutes her son. "


    After hearing this, Xu''s mother had a bright smile on her wrinkled face.


    Liu Xiu waved, Huang Hu quickly handed the gift, Liu Xiu explained: "aunt to Xiangyang, the younger generation just came to visit now, it''s really impolite, please forgive me."


    Xu''s mother thought Liu Xiu would be a good man. She happily accepted the gift and said, "you talk. I''ll go to prepare lunch."


    Xu Shu said: "master Xiu, my mother is like this. Don''t be surprised."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "it''s a good thing that my aunt is with brother Yuanzhi. What''s wrong. In my opinion, mother''s kindness and filial piety are the happiness of family


    A feeling, but with a trace of sadness.


    Xu Shu changed his mind and realized that Liu Xiu lost his mother in his early years. He immediately changed the topic and said, "young master Xiu''s mission to Jiangdong is a complete success."


    Liu Xiu said: "although thrilling, but finally came back."


    Xu Shu changed his words, but said: "I have carefully analyzed all kinds of news about Jiangdong. Although I don''t know some details, I think it''s too dangerous for Mr. Xiu to handle it. If he doesn''t pay attention, he will die without a place to bury himself. "


    Liu xiudao: "I''d like to hear it in detail."


    Xu Shu zhengse way: "first, should not promise marriage."


    "Zhoumu has decided to marry Jiangdong. He can''t go back. However, sun Shangxiang is in the hands of xiugongzi. As long as xiugongzi is willing, there are various ways to make sun Shangxiang die. If a man dies and the marriage is destroyed, he will not go to Jiangdong. "


    "Second, even if zhoumu agreed, xiugongzi also agreed on the surface, and should not enter Jiangdong."


    "The purpose of Sun Quan is not only to let you marry sun Shangxiang, but also to detain you in Jiangdong. But suppose that Sun Quan''s real goal is to kill you? Entering Jiangdong is like falling into a trap. If you agree to the marriage, you can also find various reasons to shirk it, or you may be seriously ill, or you may encounter emergencies. "


    "Third, there is a lack of preventive measures for Jingzhou."


    "This time, xiugongzi can return smoothly because there is no internal hidden danger. Just imagine, if Xinye Liu Bei intervenes, Cong and Cai Mao intervenes, will things be so smooth? "Xu Shu said: "although Mr. Xiu has won, he should not indulge in Pride and reflect on his mistakes. Otherwise, there will always be a failure, once the failure, the consequences are unimaginable


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu felt that the first analysis could be solved ahead of time, but Liu Xiu didn''t want to. The analysis of the second article is indeed Sun Quan''s carelessness, because Lu Su proposed to let Sun Quan put Liu Xiu under house arrest at the beginning, but Sun Quan did not adopt it. As for the third, Liu Xiu did not consider it at the beginning, which is the biggest hidden danger.


    This time, we can succeed, but in fact, there are many mistakes.


    Seize any one of these points, and the whole plan may collapse completely.


    Xu Shu said: "the real seamless plan is that even if the plan is destroyed, another plan will be launched. In other words, the failure in the plan is the beginning of the success of the next plan. The situation set by xiugongzi did not achieve this effect. "


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "brother Yuanzhi''s teachings will be remembered."


    After returning from Jiangdong, Liu Xiu was indeed a little proud. After listening to Xu Shu''s analysis, a trace of pride in his heart dissipated completely. The rest was reflection, reflecting on the inadequacy of this layout.


    As soon as the words changed, Xu Shu said, "do you know the news that Kong Ming became an official?"


    Liu xiudao: "listen to the teacher, he is in Xinye."


    Xu Shu said, "Liu Bei is not very good at plotting and scheming. Only good at, is to win the hearts of the people, and has a tough character. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun under his command are all first-class generals. All along, what Liu Bei lacks is a counsellor to give him advice. "


    Xu Shu looked very solemn and said, "after Kong Ming became an official, Liu Bei had the potential to turn into a dragon. As a result, there is another one who plans for Jiangdong and Jingzhou. Especially in Ming Dynasty, Liu Bei was hidden behind him. He could intervene in Jingzhou''s internal affairs. Mr. Xiu, the situation in Jingzhou has become more complicated. We should be more careful. "


    Liu Xiu said: "Liu Bei is really not simple. He got Kongming like a duck to water. Brother Yuanzhi, don''t worry. I''ve never despised Liu Bei''s defense, especially after Kong Ming went. "


    The two chatted. As time passed, the smell of rice and meat lingered in their nostrils.


    Xu''s mother moved the table out of the room and put it in the yard to greet Liu Xiu and Xu Shu for dinner. Huang Hu sat on one side and didn''t speak. Anyway, he bowed his head to eat.


    After dinner, when Xu''s mother finished cleaning up, Liu Xiu left.


    In the lively courtyard, only Xu Shu and Xu Mu were left.


    Xu''s mother asked, "Yuanzhi, did Mr. Xiu ever let you become an official this time?"


    Xu Shu said with a light smile: "mother, I made an agreement with Mr. Xiu for one year. Since it''s a year, Mr. Xiu won''t mention it again. You can rest assured that your son will become an official. Don''t worry. "


    After hearing this, Xu''s mother shook her head, looking like her son didn''t win.


    I have a very good impression of Liu Xiu and Xu mu. They are very kind and respect their elders. They have a sweet mouth and can''t see any official airs. Most importantly, she saw that Liu Xiu respected Xu Shu very much, which was the happiest thing for Xu''s mother.


    Because of this, Xu''s mother wanted Xu Shu to become an official and work for Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 197

    Xiangyang City, north gate.


    A line of three people, slowly close to the gate.


    The first one is gentle and elegant. This person is no other than Liu Bei, who has just arrived in Xiangyang from Xinye. At Liu Bei''s side, follow Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.


    Liu Bei came to Xiangyang from Xinye mainly to borrow food from Liu Biao.


    When it comes to borrowing food, it''s actually borrowing but not returning it.


    The new savages were poor and the land was scarce. After entering the cold winter, Liu Bei''s army was a little short of food. After Liu Qi arrived in Xinye, Liu Bei got a banner. Under the banner of Liu Qi, he wantonly expanded the army, and the money and food were even more tight.


    Xinye can''t support it. The only way is to find Liu Biao.


    Under the control of Liu Biao, Jingzhou government''s granary hoarded countless grains. As long as Liu Biao spared a little time, Liu Bei''s army would have a foundation for further expansion.


    Zhang Fei, holding Zhang BA''s snake spear, followed Liu Bei and said slowly, "brother, Xiangyang City is magnificent and magnificent. If the eldest brother has such a city, it will be as easy to resist the thieves of Cao. "


    "Shut up


    On hearing this, Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei.


    Zhang Fei smiles and understands that he has said something wrong. It''s easy to misunderstand when he says something like this in Xiangyang.


    Guan Yu, holding the green dragon Yanyue sword, said slowly: "third brother, when you get to Xiangyang, be careful with your words and deeds, don''t be rash and impulsive. If you come to Xiangyang this time, you must get enough food, or the plan of the military division will fail. You must control your sexual impulse. "


    Military strategist, Zhuge Liang.


    After Zhuge Liang became an official, he integrated Liu Bei''s army in a short time and convinced Liu Qi to delegate power. Later, Zhuge Liang sent out troops to defeat Cao''s army near Xinye.


    Successive victories convinced Guan Yu of Zhuge Liang.


    Zhuge Liang asked Liu Bei to go south for food, but also to dredge the relationship between Xiangyang and reduce Xiangyang''s restrictions on Xinye.


    They entered the city and went straight to the prefecture. After arriving, Liu Bei handed in the invitation. After a while, the servant led Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei into the mansion and sat down in the hall.


    Liu Biao was dispirited and said, "Xuande is going south to Xiangyang. What''s the matter?"


    Liu Bei said: "to tell you the truth, I came to Xiangyang to ask for help from my brother."


    Liu Biao''s eyes narrowed, silent for a moment, said: "Xuande in Xinye, what difficulties?"


    Liu Bei said: "this is the case, because this year''s drought has led to a shortage of food in Xinye. In addition, the frequent wars in Xinye led to the displacement of people from their homes, and fewer people were farming. Today, there is a shortage of food in the army. If it goes on like this, the barracks will be difficult to maintain. "


    With a dignified face, Liu Bei continued: "this time, I''m going to borrow some seeds from brother Jingsheng and some grain from him. The current situation of Xinye is difficult to maintain the army, so we can only borrow food from brother Jingsheng. "


    He shook his head and sighed, looking very dignified.


    Liu Biao said: "this matter, did not listen to Qi''er mention?"


    Today''s governor of Nanyang County is Liu Qi. Liu Bei is stationed in Xinye and has no official position in Jingzhou. Liu Qi didn''t speak. Instead, Liu Bei came. Liu Biao naturally had doubts.


    Liu Bei said: "before coming, Bei has asked for instructions from Mr. Qi. Mr. Qi said that when he went to Xinye, he didn''t make any contribution. He hoped that he would return to his hometown and meet brother Jingsheng again. "


    Liu Biao nodded slightly, but his face didn''t agree.


    For his eldest son, Liu Qi, he is quite disappointed. He is weak in character and weak in ability. There is nothing like him.


    Liu Biao sighed and said slowly, "Xuande, Xinye is dry, so is Jingzhou. Although the appearance of bobbin cars alleviated the impact of drought, Jingzhou was not well off either. However, Xuande can rest assured that brother Wei will try his best to solve your present predicament. How about staying in Xiangyang for a few days and raising food for you


    Liu Bei said, "thank you, brother Jingsheng. On behalf of the people in Xinye, Bei thanks brother Jingsheng."


    After a pause, Liu Bei said: "when he went down to the south, Bei heard that xiugongzi came back from Jiangdong and killed Lu Su of Jiangdong. Brother Jingsheng has a son. It''s so enviable. "


    Liu Biao stroked his beard under his jaw and showed a proud look on his face.


    Liu Bei sighed: "it''s a pity that Bei has been in exile for half his life. Up to now, he has not had a son and a half daughter. His eldest son, Qi Wengong, is generous, his second son, Cong Cong, is intelligent and virtuous, and his third son, Xiu, is brilliant. If you think about it, brother Jingsheng is better. "


    This half emotion half flatter, Liu Biao''s heart is happy.


    Liu Bei has been fighting for more than 20 years since the Yellow turban rebellion. He is in his 40s. He has not only no place to live, but also no son and a half.


    Liu Biao, on the other hand, has a good son in Jingzhou. He is a winner in life.


    Liu Biao was embarrassed to be proud again, and comforted him: "you don''t have to worry. When it''s time to come, you will come naturally. I think the younger brother is a man of great fortune, not too bad. "


    Liu Bei said, "thanks to brother Jingsheng, I hope to have a son and a half as soon as possible. That''s good."Liu Biao turned his mind and said, "if you want to have a son, you might as well go to the Tianshi temple in the west of the city for a fragrance. It is said that the Tianshi temple in the west of the city is very effective. When I joined Xiangyang, I went to Xiangyang once, which is quite good. "


    "Oh, really?"


    Liu Bei''s eyes showed a trace of joy.


    Liu Bei, who is in his 40s and has no son and a half, is also anxious.


    Liu Bei has wives and concubines, and they are all beautiful women. In principle, it is impossible to have no children. She even went to wenpo to check the bodies of Mrs. MI and Mrs. Gan. Wenpo concluded that they could have children.


    But Liu Bei never had a son and a half.


    When Liu Biao said that the temple was effective, Liu Bei''s heart became active.


    When Liu Biao saw Liu Bei''s anxious expression, he laughed in his heart. He had a sarcastic attitude towards Liu Bei. He felt that Liu Bei was really pitiful. He was almost 50 years old and had not had a son and a half.


    However, he didn''t show the slightest sign on his face. He said seriously: "the temple of Heavenly Master in the west of the city is very effective, whether it''s for fame and wealth, or for sons. After my brother goes, I sincerely offer incense. Maybe there will be a son and a half next year. "


    After hearing this, Liu Bei couldn''t wait. He arched his hand and said, "brother, please help me with the food. If there is no food, the army in Xinye will be hungry. "


    Liu Biao said: "don''t worry, my brother will do his best."


    Liu Biao could not have refused to give Liu Bei any food when he was stationed in Xinye. Otherwise, Liu Bei''s army would have collapsed and there would be no defense line to the north of Xiangyang.


    It is a matter of giving more and less food.


    Liu Bei said: "Jing Shenggong, Bei is going to the Tianshi temple."


    "Go, go!"


    Liu Biao was very happy with a smile on his lips.


    Liu Bei left with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. After leaving the palace, Guan Yu said: "brother, since Liu Biao is so sure, should we take a bath and change clothes before we go to Tianshi temple. It''s a matter of great concern to the eldest brother''s children. We must be sincere. "


    "Yes, yes, my second brother has a point."


    Liu Bei, with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in his eyes, settled down in the city.


    After they had settled down, they washed and changed into clean and fresh clothes. Then they went out of the inn with a big cloak on the outside and went to the west of the city.


    As they walked and inquired, they soon came to the temple.


    It''s the temple in the west of the city of Zhang.


    Zhang Daoling is said to be a descendant of Zhang Liang. He was proficient in Tao Te Ching and was an official in the imperial court. Later, he lived in seclusion in Beimang mountain of Luoyang to learn the way of longevity. At the time of emperor he of Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling was called as Taifu. During the reign of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling founded wudoumi road in Heming mountain, calling himself "the Supreme Master" and "the master of heaven".


    This Tianshi temple is quite grand in scale. It is solemn and sacred.


    There are many people coming and going in front of the gate.


    Liu Bei stood outside the gate, looking at the towering and solemn Temple of Heavenly Master, and then saw countless believers coming in and out. He immediately believed it. It must be very effective for so many people to come to visit.


    Zhang Fei''s look of jumping off his face also converged and stood obediently behind Liu Bei.


    Guan Yu looked solemn and said, "brother, go in."


    Liu Bei nodded, tied the horses outside and entered the temple together. When you enter the temple, the courtyard in the front hall is filled with green pines and cypresses, smoke, and the sound of Taoist chanting, which makes people instantly admire.

 Chapter 198

    Entering the main hall of Tianshi temple, a statue of Tianshi with a height of two Zhang is sitting upright, holding the dust and smiling, but it is solemn and sacred.


    Liu Bei gave enough sesame oil money and began to offer incense.


    After respectfully offering incense, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also offer incense in turn. They and Liu Bei wear the same pair of trousers. Liu Bei has a son. They also offer incense with peace of mind and sincerity, hoping that Liu Bei can get his son as soon as possible.


    After offering incense, Liu Bei called the little Taoist of the temple of Heavenly Master.


    The young Taoist was about 20 years old. He was very handsome and elegant.


    Liu Bei looked at the little Taoist priest and said politely, "please inform the Taoist priest about the master. The left general, the Marquis of Yicheng Pavilion, will you please see Liu Bei, uncle Mu Huang of Yuzhou."


    On hearing this, the Taoist priest was stunned. What a long string of official positions.


    General Zuo, marquis Ting of Yicheng, mu of Yuzhou, uncle Huang


    Every appellation is too much.


    As for Liu Bei, the little Taoist also knew that he was kind and loved the people as a child. The Taoist also respected such a person, but his face showed embarrassment and said, "uncle Liu, I''m sorry, the Lord is receiving a distinguished guest."


    Guan Yu Danfeng''s eyes narrowed and said, "which noble guest can compare with elder brother. Elder brother, as a great uncle of Han Dynasty and a royal nobleman, is there anyone more expensive than uncle Huang? Could it be that the little temple of Heavenly Master has the son of heaven coming to it? "


    In a word, it choked the Taoist priest.


    Because of Guan Yu, the Taoist''s sense of Liu Bei declined.


    Liu Bei glared at Guan Yu and apologized: "Taoist priest, my second brother is quick tempered and straightforward. Please don''t have the same opinion with him. Dare to ask long, who is the person that the temple Lord receives, see how long, see? "


    The little Taoist said: "I don''t know who the people are. The Taoist just told me not to disturb, but didn''t say anything else. I''m really sorry, uncle Liu. "


    "Son of a bitch, immediately inform the laoshizi Temple master that my elder brother has come and disappeared. If you don''t show up, I will tear down your temple of Heavenly Master."


    Zhang Fei was so impatient that he suddenly became angry.


    Liu Bei cold face, scolded: "third brother, not rude."


    Zhang Fei hummed: "brother, you are too polite to be bullied. Can a laoshizi guest compare with big brother? Brother, it''s a rare visit. It''s an honor for the temple. "


    With a big hand, Zhang Fei grabbed the little Taoist''s chest and said impatiently, "go to inform the Taoist immediately, otherwise, I will tear down your temple of Heavenly Master."


    "You, you Let go


    There was a look of panic in the Taoist''s eyes.


    Zhang Fei released his hand, and the Taoist priest fell to the ground with a long sigh of relief.


    The little Taoist looked at Liu Bei, turned his eyes and said, "uncle Liu, the pilgrims in the hall still need incense. Why don''t you leave the main hall for a while and wait in the courtyard outside. I''ll report it right away. "


    "Yes


    Liu Bei''s reasonable consent came down, and he seemed very easygoing.


    The little Taoist was relieved. A chill appeared in his eyes. He turned around and left.


    Out of the hall, the three stood in the courtyard.


    Liu Bei, with both hands on his back, said: "third brother, you can''t be rash in the future."


    Guan Yu said: "you can have a quarrel, but don''t do it. After all, it''s the temple of Heavenly Master, and the gods are on top of it. "


    Zhang Fei looked like I had done the right thing and said, "if you don''t have me, you can only go back obediently. It''s not easy for us to come to Xiangyang. Next, elder brother has a lot to do. How can we spend so much time here. It''s amazing that a Tianshi temple has such a big shelf. After all, the fist is hard enough. "


    Unable to persuade Zhang Fei, Liu Bei shook his head and said, "you should not be rude when you see the master."


    "I understand," he said


    After a while, a rush of footsteps came from the passageways on both sides of the hall.


    More than ten Taoists rushed out, all of them strong and strong, and the look in their eyes at Liu Bei was even worse.


    The little Taoist stood in front of him, pointed to Zhang Fei and said, "elder martial brothers, it''s Zhang Fei who is the black one. He is the one who committed the crime in the temple of Heavenly Master. I said that the master had distinguished guests, but he forced me to go to the master. He also said that if the master did not meet him, he would demolish the temple of Heavenly Master. "


    Liu Bei was stunned, but he didn''t expect the Taoist priest to find a helper.


    This time, Liu Bei was at a loss.


    Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Taoist priest, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."


    The little Taoist snorted and said with disdain, "is it true that Zhang Fei drags my clothes and says that the master has eaten the ambition and the leopard does not dare to see uncle Liu? Uncle Liu doesn''t have to say. " Staring at Zhang Fei, the Taoist said, "Zhang Fei, you are not welcome in the temple of Heavenly Master. You can go. This is the end of the matter. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences."


    Zhang Fei said angrily, "grandfather Zhang is where he wants to be. If you let grandfather Zhang go, you won''t go. " The Taoist threatened Zhang Fei, but Zhang Fei didn''t buy it at all.


    The little Taoist said, "Zhang Fei, if you don''t leave, don''t blame me for being impolite."Zhang Fei said, "if you have courage, you can come."


    "Elder martial brothers, drive Zhang Fei out of the temple."


    With an order from the little Taoist priest, more than ten Taoist priests in black robes strode up.


    Liu Bei wants to resolve, but Zhang Fei can''t help it. He rushes up. In the hand fist, swung directly, smashed to a Taoist.


    "Pa!"


    When the fists meet, the Taoist screams and the bones crack.


    The rest of the Taoists rushed to Zhang Fei. Although Taoists practice martial arts to build up their health, they have never been to the battlefield after all. They are not strong enough to kill, and their momentum is even worse. The Taoist of Tianshi temple is not Zhang Fei''s opponent. Less than a cup of tea time, more than ten Taoists fell to the ground, one by one screaming and groaning, very miserable.


    As a matter of fact, Zhang Fei left his strength and did not lay a heavy hand on it, otherwise he would die or be disabled.


    Around the courtyard, there were countless people watching.


    Zhang Fei angrily opened his eyes and roared: "what to look at, what to do and what to do, be careful that my fist doesn''t recognize people."


    The people around scattered like birds and animals.


    Zhang Fei step by step to the little Taoist, that fierce eyes, scared the little Taoist a bottom paralyzed on the ground.


    "Well, you''re a loser!"


    Zhang Fei went up to the Taoist priest, pulled him up, and said, "my old Zhang just said one or two words, then you can directly find a thug. If I didn''t have some ability, I would be beaten by you. This is not the end of it. When you see the master, you can talk with him. "


    Liu Bei came forward and said, "third brother, let go of the Taoist priest."


    "No!"


    Zhang Fei stubbornly held his head high and refused directly.


    "Let go!"


    Liu Bei''s face was cold. Zhang Fei was silent for a moment. He grunted twice and had to let go.


    Suddenly, the Taoist priest fell to the ground and felt pain all over.


    Liu Bei helped up the Taoist priest and said softly, "Taoist priest, my third brother is not sensible, and he is also a reckless man. Please forgive me for the offence. Now this incident happened in the temple of Heavenly Master, so many Taoist priests were injured, so we must apologize to the Taoist priest in person. Please show me the way. I''ll see the Lord


    The little Taoist nodded repeatedly, but the way he looked at Liu Bei became hostile. If it had not been for Liu Bei''s connivance, Zhang Fei would not have committed such a crime.


    They went to the back yard of Tianshi temple, bypassed two corridors and came to the back yard.


    In the courtyard, at the door of the room, squatted a young burly youth. Seeing someone coming, he looked up, lowered his head and continued to sit.


    The little Taoist said in a loud voice: "Lord, someone has been beaten in. All the elder martial brothers in the temple of Heavenly Master have been beaten."


    At this time, the Taoist called out again.


    He grew up in Tianshi temple when he was a child. All the people who come to the temple to offer incense are respectful. Today, when I met Zhang Fei, I was very angry. As soon as I opened my mouth, I added some oil and vinegar.


    The corners of Liu Bei''s mouth twitched slightly and said in secret. I''m afraid it''s not easy to explain today.


    Zhang Fei waved his hand and pushed the Taoist.


    Suddenly, the Taoist stood unsteadily and fell to the ground again, crying with pain.


    "Creak!"


    When the door opened, an old man with a charitable face and white hair came out wearing a black Taoist robe.


    This old man is the master of the temple.


    Liu Bei quickly bowed his body and arched his hand and said, "the left general, Liu Bei, the Marquis of Yicheng Pavilion, has met the master of the temple. The things in today''s Taoist temple are that they are not well disciplined, so that there are conflicts. As soon as compensation is due, Liu Bei will bear it. "


    Taoist Changqing stares at the little Taoist and looks at the fierce Zhang Fei. His eyes finally fall on Liu Bei.


    The little Taoist said, "Guanzhu, I have already said that you are meeting with distinguished guests. You are not able to meet them for the time being. But Zhang Fei said that the master of the temple would not dare to see the leopard after eating his ambition. He also said that he would demolish the Tianshi temple. I took my elder martial brothers and wanted Zhang Fei to leave by himself. He not only didn''t leave, but also had a big fight. Now, all the senior brothers have been injured. "


    Zhang Fei said angrily, "as a great uncle of the Han Dynasty, what noble guest can match him. Hum


    In a word, Taoist Chang Qing''s face is a little ugly.


    Liu Bei looked at his words and said, "third brother, shut up." Immediately, Liu Bei arched his hand and said, "master, my third brother is a Hun man with rough character. Please forgive me."


    "Uncle Liu''s eloquence is unparalleled. I admire him! admire! Uncle Liu apologizes for Zhang Fei''s bluff. A red face and a white face are irresistible. "


    Suddenly, Liu Xiu''s voice came from the room.


    Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying came out together and stood beside Taoist Changqing.


    Liu Bei''s eyes showed a touch of surprise. He didn''t expect to see Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying in the Tianshi temple. When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw Liu Xiu, they were very jealous when they met with their enemies, and they immediately became murderous.

 Chapter 199

    In Xinye in the past, Zhang Fei fell in love with wenpin''s war horse after he got drunk, which led to the conflict between the two sides.


    At that time, Zhang Fei was taught a lesson by Liu Xiu, and he always had a knot in his heart.


    Now goodbye to Liu Xiu, a bad breath suddenly surged up in his heart. He snorted, looked jokingly, and said sarcastically: "I thought it was the king of heaven, but I didn''t expect it was a suckling boy."


    Guan Yu said nothing, and his eyes were not good.


    The two brothers share a common hatred and are very hostile to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu didn''t get angry. He said slowly, "Zhang Yide, when you were drunk and making trouble, you made trouble for Xuande. Now, you are impulsive again and you make trouble for Xuande again. You are a real troublemaker


    "If I remember well, in Xuzhou, because you lost Xuzhou because of the wine accident."


    "In Gucheng County, you are impulsive and reckless, which leads to your failure to get a foothold in the ancient city. If you don''t drink, beat and scold the soldiers, maybe you won''t fail in the ancient city. "


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    "In a word, as long as you are around, Xuande is always in trouble. With you, Xuande will always wipe your ass. you are really powerful. "


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were full of banter.


    Zhang Fei was so angry that he jumped, his eyes were wide open, he clenched his fist and was about to rush up.


    Guan Yu quickly grabbed Zhang Fei, but Zhang Fei didn''t rush up.


    Liu Bei''s eyes moved, arched his hand and said, "young master Xiu, this time, Yide is impulsive. Please forgive me."


    In Xinye, Liu Bei listened to Zhuge Liang''s words and did not provoke Liu Xiu for the time being. After summarizing the news from various aspects, especially the news from Jiangdong, through Zhuge Liang''s analysis, Liu Bei is very afraid of Liu Xiu and is not willing to offend Liu Xiu for the time being.


    The inflow of water from both sides does not violate the river, and each side has no influence.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Xuande is polite. Xuande didn''t offend me. Don''t apologize." After a pause, Liu Xiu''s tone became more serious and said, "the temple of Heavenly Master is a pure place. Zhang Fei not only does not abide by the rules, but also speaks wildly. He also beats the Taoist priest of the temple. He should make a good apology for this."


    Zhang Fei''s face turned red. When he saw Liu Xiu, he could not suppress his anger.


    Chang Qing said: "it''s just the so-called" enemies should be solved rather than settled ". Although general Zhang acted rashly, it''s also the intention of uncle Liu to come to the temple to offer incense. Uncle Liu left the medical money and asked General Zhang to apologize. The matter was written off. "


    But the little Taoist said, "master, this..."


    "Shut up


    The Taoist priest of Changqing drinks low, and the Taoist priest immediately closes his mouth and dares to be angry.


    Liu Bei said gratefully, "thank you, master!"


    Liu Xiu didn''t interfere in the way Taoist Changqing dealt with it. The temple of Heavenly Master was not his own site. What''s more, Liu Xiu came to the temple because Huang Yueying heard that the temple was very effective. She specially brought him to the temple to offer incense and then asked Taoist Changqing for divination.


    The two sides just talked for a while, Zhang Fei called in.


    Taoist Changqing asked, "what''s the matter with uncle Liu coming to Tianshi temple?"


    "It''s no big deal," Liu Bei said


    Zhang Fei said: "Guanzhu, elder brother has no children so far. This time I came to Tianshi temple to ask the divination, I want to know when I can get the children."


    Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei.


    Such a hidden thing, Zhang Fei said in front of Liu Xiu, made Liu Bei quite embarrassed.


    Taoist Changqing stares at Liu Bei and falls into silence.


    Liu Xiu stood beside Taoist Changqing and raised his mouth. He had a brief conversation with Taoist Chang Qing. Although Taoist Chang Qing was old, he was extremely agile in thinking and extraordinary in speech and behavior.


    In addition, Taoist Changqing is the master of the temple. His words and deeds reveal the spirit of immortality. The atmosphere of dust is natural and has the temperament of a god stick.


    Zhang Fei asked Liu Bei for verification.


    At the moment, not only Liu Bei is waiting, but Liu Xiu is also waiting.


    Taoist Changqing stroked the sparse long beard under his jaw and said with a smile, "no accident. Next year at the latest, uncle Liu will have children."


    In a word, Liu Bei was shocked and his face was surprised.


    He has not been in exile since the beginning of his life. The only sons are adopted children. But it''s not my own blood after all. No matter how harmonious the relationship is, it lacks a layer of fetters.


    The words of Taoist Changqing made Liu Bei ecstatic. After hearing this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei''s eyes also showed joy. To some extent, Liu Bei had children, and the cohesion of the whole group was stronger.


    Liu Xiu stood aside, shocked. Looking at Taoist Chang Qing''s eyes, there was an interesting look.


    Liu Xiu didn''t have the judgment of an evergreen Taoist, but he knew the course of history.


    Liu Bei''s son, Liu Chan, was born next year. Then Cao Cao sent his troops south the following year. Zhao Yun saved Liu Chan''s life by seven in and seven out in order to save him.


    How accurate Taoist Changqing''s inference is, it''s shocking.It is a very strange thing that Liu Xiu can survive in this world and live again.


    The words of Taoist Changqing shocked Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu changed his mind and said again: "the master has determined that Xuande Gong will have an heir next year. It''s better to determine the fate of Xuande Gong''s three brothers."


    Liu Xiu had doubts in his mind and wanted to try again.


    Liu Bei, who had been in exile for half of his life, was very happy after listening to Taoist Changqing''s words. He also respected Taoist Changqing and said, "the master''s eye is like a torch. Please give me some advice."


    Guan Yu said, "please accept my advice."


    Zhang Fei said: "master, please tell me, I''m waiting."


    Along the way, the three brothers have experienced countless frustrations. From the yellow scarf bandits'' rebellion, to Dong Zhuo''s control of the imperial platform, to Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan''s fight for the north, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao''s fight for the northern hegemony, finally they wandered to Jingzhou.


    Along the way, through suffering.


    Taoist Chang Qing has a good eye. Maybe he can give them some advice.


    Chang Qing said: "uncle Liu, sometimes it''s not a good thing to know the result. Uncle Liu has a tough personality. No matter what, he will do it according to his own ideas. Therefore, no matter how poor way criticizes life, in the end, all can''t influence Liu Huangshu''s decision. In that case, why should we know again? It''s just more trouble. "


    After hearing this, Liu Bei frowned. It didn''t seem to be a very good result, otherwise Taoist Chang Qing would not say so.


    Guan Yu said: "please watch the Lord''s advice, no matter how, you must know."


    Zhang Fei said: "don''t play the game, say it quickly."


    Liu Bei glared at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and then said: "as the observer said, no matter what the final result is, Liu Bei will be determined. But the words of the master seem to cover up. Please make them clear. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "if you look at the Lord, it''s OK to say so. Uncle Liu can afford it."


    "Alas..."


    Taoist Changqing sighed and said, "in that case, the old way is overstepping."


    When they heard the words, they all listened attentively. The little Taoist stood at the bottom with a pious look in his eyes. The Taoist priest''s eyes are like torches. He used to judge many people''s lives, and they are all very accurate. Now when he opens Jinkou, the Taoist priest is looking forward to it.


    In the yard, it was quiet. No one spoke.


    The cold wind is blowing, but the people present have their own thoughts, but they ignore the chill of the cold.


    "Boundless heaven!"


    Taoist Changqing announced a signal: "uncle Liu''s life is too precious to say. General Guan and general Zhang must be vassals. "


    Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn''t help but feel happy.


    No matter what Taoist Changqing''s words are true or false, they seem to have given them a reassurance. Years of efforts and efforts are worth it, and we will get the harvest in the end.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed slightly and his heart was shocked.


    If Taoist Changqing generally said that the three were Marquis and worshippers, or generally said that the three were indescribable, it could be judged that they were cheated by the divine stick. But the conclusion of Taoist Changqing, combined with Liu Xiu''s memory, is true.


    When Liu Bei ascended the throne and became emperor, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei became Marquis and general.


    In fact, it is.


    On the face of Taoist Changqing, there was a look of desire to talk and stop. Between the eyebrows, there is a trace of dignified. This scene aroused Liu Bei''s curiosity.

 Chapter 200

    Liu Bei discovered this situation and immediately said, "master, is there anything else difficult?"


    Liu Xiu waited quietly and was curious.


    Up to now, the immortal Taoist of Changqing has made Liu Xiusheng curious.


    Taoist Changqing shakes his head. On his face full of wind and frost, his eyes are shining with wisdom. After looking at Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Liu Bei, he said in a soft voice, "uncle Liu, let''s stop here, and then go down, only to add trouble."


    Liu Bei said: "master, please give me your advice. Now, if you don''t know, it''s hard to be at ease. "


    Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have bright eyes and stare at Taoist Changqing.


    "Just, just!"


    The Taoist priest of Changqing sighed as he brushed the dust.


    Then Taoist Changqing stared at Guan Yu and said, "general Guan may die in the future."


    Brush!


    Guan Yu''s face suddenly changed.


    The squinting eyes of Danfeng are like poisonous snakes, which are cold. The whole body''s intention of killing, like the sea, surged to the Taoist of Changqing. The Taoist of Changqing''s hair was flying, but his face was as usual, without any change.


    Guan Yu zhengse way: "Guan Yu respect heaven and earth, loyal to the king, Guan Mou pour want to see, who can kill this general."


    Liu Bei''s mood sank.


    Guan Yu is his brother. Liu Bei''s heart is very heavy because of the approval of Taoist Changqing.


    Zhang Fei didn''t believe in evil and said immediately, "old Taoist, what''s my destiny like?"


    Just now Zhang Fei was glad to hear Taoist Changqing say that Liu Bei will have children next year. It is also said that Liu Bei and his second elder brother Guan Yu will also be appointed as Marquis and pay homage to Taoist Changqing. In the twinkling of an eye, Taoist Chang Qing cursed his second brother, which made Zhang Fei very unhappy. Along with that, his name for Taoist Chang Qing also changed, calling him the old Taoist.


    Liu Bei reprimanded: "third brother, don''t be rude to the master."


    Taoist Changqing shook his head and said, "General Zhang has a real temperament. It doesn''t get in the way."


    Liu Xiu stood aside, his eyes fell on Zhang Fei, waiting for Zhang Fei''s approval from Taoist Changqing. Just now Taoist Changqing said the final result of Guan Yu, which surprised Liu Xiu.


    In the end, Guan Yu was designed by Lu Meng, so that he was defeated and killed. All in all, it was a fatal death. Taoist Changqing''s conclusion is so accurate that it is no longer the realm that can be reached by ordinary magic wands.


    Taoist Changqing stares at Zhang Fei and says, "General Zhang may be killed by gangsters in the future."


    In a word, Zhang Fei is furious.


    Liu Bei''s heart is even more heavy and heavy.


    Liu Xiu stood aside, swallowing his saliva and looking startled. Historically, Zhang Fei died in the hands of his subordinates. It can be said that he died at the hands of evil people.


    It''s amazing how accurate it is.


    Liu Bei took a deep breath and said: "dare to ask the master, what''s the final outcome?"


    Taoist priest Changqing said slowly: "uncle Liu is tired by general Zhang and general Guan. He may not end well."


    "Hoo


    With a sigh of relief, Liu Bei bowed his hand and said, "I can''t help feeling excited when I watch the Lord''s approval. It''s just that Bei always believes that man is sure to win the day, and there can be no fixed ending. Otherwise, why do people have to struggle? "


    Zhang Fei was so angry that he said, "old Taoist, what do you think of Liu Xiu? What''s his life


    Taoist Changqing took a look at Liu Xiu, shook his head and said, "the old Taoist is clumsy and can''t see through."


    In a word, Zhang Fei roared: "you fool me. If you change Liu Xiu, you can''t see through. Old Taoist, you want to die. " He broke free from Guan Yu''s bondage and rushed to Taoist Changqing.


    Seeing this, Guan Yu didn''t stop him.


    Liu Bei was in a low mood. When he asked to stop him, he was already a step late.


    At this time, Huang Hu stepped out and stood in front of Taoist Changqing. Huang Hu''s eyes were shining, his face was simple, and he was excited. He stood with his legs apart, his left hand back in his waist, his right hand clenched into a fist, and suddenly went out.


    "Compete with your grandfather Zhang, you are a little tender."


    When Zhang Fei saw that Huang Hu was in the way, he was not polite at all. He summoned up his strength and waved his fist to meet him.


    "Boom!"


    Two fists hit, Huang Hu step back, Zhang Fei pedaled back two steps.


    Huang Hu grinned and his fists were in pain. But, he is more excited, tiger roar, directly to Zhang Fei.


    Zhang Feigang just fought with Huang Hu, and his right hand was in pain. In his heart, he was shocked that the other party was only 20 years old and was born with divine power, which made him afraid.


    "Kill


    Zhang Fei is also not yield, instant and yellow tiger fight.


    Huang Hu''s martial arts are simple and direct. They go straight to the point. In Liu Xiu''s eyes, Huang Hu''s moves are simple and easy. They have the flavor of Military Boxing of later generations. They are all killing moves.


    Zhang Fei''s moves are fierce, but a little cumbersome.


    In the twinkling of an eye, Zhang Fei has been beaten by Huang Hu. The situation is very unfavorable to Zhang Fei.Seeing this, Liu Bei said, "third brother, don''t fight. Second brother, go and separate them. "


    Guan Yu rushed up. As soon as he joined the regiment, the two joined hands, and Huang Hu immediately broke up. Fortunately, Guan Yu didn''t pursue him, but Zhang Fei was already out of breath. He stopped and his eyes were shocked.


    Liu Xiu said, "Huang Hu, step back."


    Immediately, Huang Hu reluctantly hummed back, and the fight between the two sides stopped.


    Liu Xiu stares at Liu Bei with sharp eyes and says coldly, "Xuande Gong, it''s your request to approve the life. Zhang Fei has committed a crime openly again. What do you say to do?"


    Liu Bei recovered from his loss and said, "it''s my fault."


    "Third brother, apologize to the Lord."


    Liu Bei''s words have an unquestionable look.


    Zhang Fei reluctantly said: "master, Zhang Fei is impolite. Please forgive me."


    Changqing said, "it''s no harm. It''s a piece of cake."


    Liu Bei changed his words and said, "master, if I have something important, I won''t disturb you. We will certainly make compensation for the damage we have caused in the temple. Please bear with us. "


    Chang Qing said: "uncle Liu, go slowly, forget the dust, you send uncle Liu."


    "Yes


    Xiao Daoshi''s name is forgetting dust. He looks at Zhang Fei resentfully and goes out.


    Soon, Liu Bei left the yard.


    When Liu Xiu looked at Taoist Changqing, he was still shocked, because Taoist Changqing''s judgment of the future outcome of Liu Bei''s three brothers was too accurate. He stared at Taoist Changqing and said, "master, why can''t I judge my fate, but the three brothers of Liu Bei easily judge it?"


    Liu Xiu was also curious about the trickiness.


    Taoist priest Changqing said with a smile: "xiugongzi, you are not as profound as you think."


    Liu Xiu heard the speech and said, "I''d like to hear it in detail."


    Taoist Changqing said with a smile: "first, about the issue of heirs. Liu Bei had been in exile for the first half of his life and had no time or energy to have children. Now that Xinye is in peace and there is no war for the time being, we must try our best to make a living. Lao Dao knows a little about the art of Qihuang. He looks ruddy and full of Zhongqi. He''s not in any serious trouble. As long as he is willing to work hard, it is not difficult for him to have children within a year. "


    After listening, Liu Xiu understood.


    The judgment of heirs is based on Taoist Changqing''s medical skills and his insight.


    Taoist Changqing continued: "second, the fate of three people is also very easy to explain."


    "Liu Bei is tough, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are great generals. But Liu Bei is a counselor. Now Zhuge Liang is out of the mountain to help Liu Bei. In this way, Liu Bei will be trapped in the dragon and ascend to heaven, and he will surely achieve something. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will follow suit. In fact, as long as people know Liu Bei a little, they can draw a conclusion. "


    The doubts in Liu Xiu''s heart were also solved.


    Taoist Changqing said: "third, Guan Yu died because he was arrogant, self righteous and headstrong. After Liu Bei''s rise, Guan Yu will surely be put in an important position. But this is a troubled time. He is headstrong and self righteous, which is undoubtedly the way to take death. The old way concludes that Guan Yu may have died in an unnatural way. "


    "Zhang Fei may have been killed by a villain because of his irascible personality, more like drinking, domineering behavior and abusing subordinates. With his character, once his subordinates are used in troubled times, Zhang Fei may die at the hands of evil men. "


    "Liu Bei attaches great importance to emotion. After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei die, he will be affected. Liu Bei''s strength lies in the use of people. Once he is not clear headed, he will die, which may lead to a bad end. "


    Changqing said: "this is the analysis of Lao Dao. It''s very simple. There''s no magic place."


    Liu Xiu looked surprised and said: "the eyes of the observer are peerless in the world. I don''t know if the master is willing to be an official, but the younger generation is willing to be a guest of honor. "


    Taoist Changqing stroked his beard under his jaw and said with a laugh: "people in the mountains have no heart of fame and wealth. Lao Dao still has a word to say. Even if Lao Dao''s judgment is wrong, it will be years later. By that time, Lao Dao will have been a pile of dead bones. There is no evidence to prove his death. "


    In a word, Liu Xiu also laughed, then gave up the idea of inviting Taoist Changqing to become an official, and then said: "Taoist, why can''t I see through it?"


    Chang Qing said, "it''s very simple. I can''t see through you."


    With a smile, Liu Xiu changed the topic and chatted with Taoist Changqing about other things before taking Huang Yueying away.


    Looking at the direction of Liu Xiu''s departure, Taoist Changqing murmured, "I really can''t see through your destiny. It seems that even Liu, Guan and Zhang have been affected. It''s nothing. It''s nothing to do with the old way. "

 Chapter 201

    After returning to lumen mountain, Huang Yueying returns home, while Liu Xiu takes Huang Hu to Xiangyang.


    Zhou Mu Fu, Liu Xiufang.


    Xia he stood in front of Liu Xiu, slightly lowered his head, his eyes were uneasy, but with a trace of joy. She is Liu Xiu''s servant girl, but Liu Xiu is an official in you county. Most of the time, Liu Xiu is not at home.


    Equivalent to, summer lotus guarding an empty yard.


    However, Liu Xiu is famous and has great prestige in his family. Even if the maid in the yard of the second young master saw Xia he, she was respectful and didn''t dare to neglect him. This just made Xia he proud.


    Xia he was a young woman in her 28th year. When she worked in the family, she had already understood the things between men and women, and understood the living rules of the family. If you want to be a man, you have to rely on Liu Xiu.


    If Liu Xiu takes her in, she can rise to the sky.


    Liu Xiu takes the initiative to find her. Xia he''s heart keeps beating. He''s ready to sacrifice himself. It''s a pity that Liu Xiugen didn''t notice Xia he''s manner and said, "Xia he, go and find out what Liu Bei is doing to find his father in Zhou Mu Fu."


    Back at home, Liu Xiu heard that Liu Bei had come.


    Liu Xiu didn''t know the specific news.


    Xia he listened to Liu Xiu''s command, and his pretty face showed a look of disappointment. Instantly, she recovered, respectfully agreed, turned and left the room.


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, there was a look of meditation.


    For Liu Bei, Liu Xiu is extremely afraid, especially with Zhuge Liang''s help, Liu Bei has greater potential.


    However, Liu Xiu could not kill Liu Bei for the time being.


    In fact, Liu Bei only brought Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to Xiangyang, which is a good opportunity to kill Liu Bei. Unfortunately, once Liu Bei died and Xinye lost the person who presided over the army, Jingzhou would lose the northern barrier against Cao Cao. For quite a long time to come, Jingzhou will need Liu Bei. Therefore, Liu Bei can only be kept for the time being, but Liu Xiu can''t sit back and watch Liu Bei grow bigger.


    About half an hour later, Xiahe came back.


    Liu Xiu asked, "what''s the matter?"


    Xia he replied, "I''ve heard that Liu Bei came to the prefecture to borrow food from the prefecture."


    "Food?" Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and waved: "I know. You can go down."


    Summer lotus heart is disappointed, but can only retreat.


    Liu Xiu sat alone in his study, planning carefully. Liu Bei''s borrowing of grain must be the need of Xinye''s army. He thought for a while and made a decision in his heart. He thought, "I have to go to Kuai''s house to know the exact news."


    Liu Xiu got up and left the prefecture for the Kuai family.


    Kuai''s, hall.


    Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and Liu Xiu took their seats.


    After some politeness, Kuai Liang said, "young master Xiu, how is your third brother in you county?"


    Liu Xiu said: "Dexin is outstanding. He can handle the internal affairs of a county with ease. There is no problem at all. In my opinion, Demin is at least the talent of the prefect. Now he has been wronged. "


    Kuai Liang also showed a smile on his face and said, "it''s his honor to follow Mr. Xiu."


    Kuai Yue said with a smile, "young master Xiu has been in Xiangyang for several days. When do you plan to return to you county?"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "the time to leave is not fixed for the time being. We have to wait until Liu Bei''s affairs are finished before we return to you county. I''m here to see Mr. Liu Bei for information. You county is too far away from Xiangyang, and it''s even more out of reach for Xinye. "


    Referring to Liu Bei, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue look dignified.


    As the principal of the Kuai family, Kuai Yue said slowly: "Liu Bei''s real military strength is unknown. But on the face of it, Liu Bei has more than ten thousand troops, and many of his soldiers are veterans who have followed him from north to south for many years. After Liu Qi and Zhuge Liang went north one after another, the situation in Xinye was hazy and could not be seen through. This time Liu Bei came to Xiangyang to borrow grain, I''m afraid it was the expansion of Liu Bei''s army that led to the shortage of grain. "


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly, knowing the news, he also had the bottom in his heart.


    Kuai Liang then said, "Liu Bei is not willing to leave. You must be on guard against this man."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "thank you for your promotion. I''m not careless with Liu Bei. I also heard that Liu Bei came to borrow grain. This time, I''d like to hear their opinions. "


    Kuai Liang said: "in terms of grain, no matter how much, the Lord has to give some. After all, the Lord still relies on Liu Bei to garrison Xinye, so no matter what, it is impossible to cut off Liu Bei''s food. "


    Liu xiudao: "the lack of food, Liu Bei will also suffer."


    Kuai Liang said: "indeed, if the Lord pinches the grain, he pinches Liu Bei''s neck. Today, Liu Bei has a complete team of military officers and officials. What he lacks most is food. "


    Liu xiudao: "since Liu Bei is short of food, no matter what, we have to let him suffer some losses. Otherwise, if Liu Bei is allowed to grow bigger, it will certainly become a major disaster. "


    Kuai Yue said with a smile: "the growth of Liu Bei''s power is equivalent to the increase of Liu Qi''s power. Cai Mao should be the most anxious one."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes lit up and said, "thank you for your reminding. I see. This time, with Liu Bei''s grain, Cai Mao is the most suitable one. I''ll go to the CAI''s immediately and ask them to make it a little more difficult for Liu Bei. "Kuai Liang said, "does Master Xiu have a complete plan?"


    Liu Xiu said: "almost. This time, Liu Bei has to suffer some losses. In other words, to alienate the relationship between Liu Bei and his subordinates and destroy Liu Bei''s image. "


    Kuai Liang''s face showed a happy look, and said: "in that case, Liang will wait and see."


    Kuai Yue also said: "I''ll wait and see."


    Liu xiudao: "Mr. Kuai, if Liu Bei comes to borrow grain, you should know how to do it?"


    "Naturally, there is no food," they said with one voice


    Liu Xiu laughed and left. Out of the Kuai family, Liu Xiu went straight to the Cai family. When he came to the hall of CAI''s mansion, Cai Mao stared at Liu Xiu, with an expression that he didn''t want to see. He said, "what''s the important thing for you to do


    For Liu Xiu, Cai Mao was even more afraid.


    He tried to deal with Liu Xiu many times, but he failed in the end. He even made Liu Xiu go to Jiangdong to meet him, but he didn''t let Liu Xiu die in Jiangdong. He was in a bad mood.


    Liu xiudao: "this time, it''s because of the second brother."


    Cai Mao said, "what''s the matter with Mr. Cong?"


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "big brother went to Xinye and got Liu Bei''s help. Now, Liu Bei has a strong army and a firm support for his elder brother. Isn''t Mr. Cai in a hurry? Cai Junshi should know Zhuge Liang''s ability. If he gives advice to Liu Bei, he will certainly give advice to his elder brother. Once big brother is powerful, second brother will be in danger. "


    Cai Mao snorted coldly and said, "Liu Qi is a wolf, and master Xiu is a tiger. Young master Xiu said that young master Qi''s bad words were meant to kill people with a knife. "


    "Wrong!" Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "it''s not killing with a knife, it''s helping the second brother."


    After a pause, Liu xiudao said: "compared with my threat, elder brother is the most direct. After all, elder brother is not only the legitimate son, but also the eldest son. If Mr. Cai is willing to see elder brother inherit Jingzhou, when I don''t say anything. Hey hey, Liu Bei helps elder brother. Once he has made achievements in Xinye, I''m afraid Cai Junshi and others can''t slander him in a few words. "


    Cai Mao''s eyes were still hostile, but he relaxed and said, "come on, what''s the matter?"


    The corner of Liu Xiu''s mouth rises, and Cai Mao is loose.


    After all, Cai Mao had to think about Liu Cong.


    Although Cai Mao knew Liu Xiu''s intention, he could only agree.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Liu Bei borrows food from his father. It should be to expand the army. Once Liu Bei becomes bigger, big brother''s power will increase, which must be resisted. I hope that Cai Junshi will go to see his father and stop him from borrowing food. In other words, let the father lend Liu Bei less grain. "


    "That''s the only thing?"


    There was a strange look in CAI Mao''s eyes.


    Liu Xiu shrugged and said, "in fact, it''s not a simple thing."


    Simply speaking, Cai Mao doesn''t need confidence. If I go, I will. Mr. Xiu has nothing else to do. Please leave. Later, our military division will go to see the Lord. "


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu nodded and left Cai Fu freely.

 Chapter 202

    Cai Mao sat in the lobby, looking at Liu Xiu who had left, his eyes were scared. He wanted to refuse Liu Xiu''s request, but he was on Liu Cong''s side and had to consider it for him. Once Liu Qi became a big man, Liu Cong''s situation would be in danger.


    Therefore, even if Cai Mao knew it, there was no way to stop it.


    He got up to change his clothes and went to the prefecture.


    Prefecture, study.


    Cai Mao saluted Liu Biao and sat upright.


    Liu Biao was in low spirits, with two heavy bags under his eyes and face, staring at Cai Mao, and said feebly, "military adviser, what''s the matter?"


    Cai Mao said, "my Lord, I heard that Liu Bei came to Xiangyang and borrowed food from him?"


    Liu Biao rubbed his sour eyes and said, "it''s true."


    Cai Mao''s heart was tight, and he said: "did the Lord agree?" Once Liu Biao agrees to Liu Bei, it will be difficult to deal with the matter, and it must be stopped in advance.


    "Not for the time being!"


    Liu Biao opened his legs and leaned back against the wall, making his body comfortable.


    Cai Mao was relieved when he heard the speech.


    Liu Biao narrowed his eyes and said, "military adviser, what do you think of Liu Bei''s borrowing grain?"


    Cai Mao regained his composure and said, "my Lord, although Liu Bei is in Xinye for the time being, he is not willing to leave. It is said that Liu Bei''s troops have exceeded 10000, and they are all elite. Most importantly, it is still unknown how many soldiers Liu Bei has hidden in Xinye. Lord, if you lend food to Liu Bei, it''s a loan but not a return. Besides, you''re still raising a tiger. Please think twice. "


    "Alas..."


    When Liu Biao heard the speech, he couldn''t help sighing.


    "Why do you sigh?" Cai Mao asked


    Liu Biao said: "Cao Cao has been planning Jingzhou for a long time. Cao Cao is covetous. Liu Bei is in Xinye, so he can resist the attack of Cao thieves. If Liu Bei is not lent food, Liu Bei will be in trouble. I don''t know Liu Bei''s ambition. If he is not loyal to Gongsun Zan, or to Yuan Shao, or to Cao Cao, he can''t yield to me. It''s just that I need him to be in Xinye. I can''t help it! "


    When Cai Mao heard that Liu Biao was afraid of Liu Bei, he felt at ease.


    In this way, it is much easier to make trouble for Liu Bei.


    Cai Mao said slowly: "Lord, you need Liu Bei to be in Xinye. It''s necessary. But from a different perspective, Liu Bei can only take Xinye as his seat. He has no choice. "


    "Why?" Liu Biao asked.


    Cai Mao explained: "Lord, just think, will Liu Bei submit to Cao Cao?"


    Liu Biao said without hesitation: "absolutely impossible."


    Cai Mao said: "since Liu Bei can''t yield to Cao Cao, he can only stay in Xinye. Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye and took the initiative. Once Liu Bei leads his army into Xiangyang, he will be completely under the control of the Lord. "


    "Liu Bei, the hero of the time, has a unique vision and is quite extraordinary."


    "In order to save his troops, Liu Bei could not go south to Xiangyang unless he attacked Xiangyang. It is impossible for Liu Bei to withdraw unless he has to, because he will not hand over military power and let the Lord control him. "


    "Therefore, even if the Lord does not give food, Liu Bei has nothing to do."


    Cai Mao''s eyes twinkled, and said: "to some extent, if the Lord gives Liu Bei less grain, he can not only beat Liu Bei, but also test Liu Bei''s grain storage in Xinye and the number of troops."


    After listening to Liu Biao, he had a look of emotion in his eyes.


    In fact, Cai Mao''s judgment is correct, Liu Bei can not easily withdraw into Xiangyang.


    Xinye is located in the border between Cao Cao and Liu Biao. Liu Bei survives in the crevice and can keep his autonomy. Once Liu''s forces are limited, Liu may enter the hinterland.


    Liu Bei is also scrupulous about this.


    In Liu Biao''s turbid eyes, he flashed a touch of fine awn and said: "military adviser, how much food is suitable for Liu? If we don''t give any food, I''m afraid it won''t make sense. "


    Cai Mao said with a smile: "Lord, I think ten thousand stone grain is more suitable. Not many, not many. "


    "Well, according to the commander."


    Liu Biao felt at ease.


    Although Liu Biao is old, he knows that Liu Bei is ambitious. If he connives at Liu Bei, he must be raising a tiger for trouble, so he doesn''t reuse Liu Bei either. He just leaves Liu Bei in Xinye and lets Liu Bei confront Cao Cao.


    Cai Mao got up to leave, and then went to Liu Cong''s yard.


    Liu Cong said, "uncle, how did you come to my yard today?" Cai Mao looked at Liu Cong, and his fierce eyes made Liu Cong''s eyes erratic. He did not dare to face Cai Mao''s eyes. The atmosphere was solemn for a moment.


    Liu Cong said, "what''s the matter with uncle?"


    Cai Mao said: "Cong childe, how do you feel about day, day, publicity and lust?"


    "OK, it''s still..."


    As soon as Liu Cong spoke, he closed his mouth.


    Cai Mao found that Liu Cong''s face was very wrong. There was a kind of room after the incident. He had a guess in his heart, and then he had a tentative words. He didn''t expect that it was so.Cai Mao sighed: "Mr. Cong, can''t you read more books and care more about government affairs?"


    Liu Cong lowered his head and said, "what my uncle taught me."


    Cai Mao opened his mouth to say something about Liu Xiu, but when he got to his mouth, he swallowed it. Compared with Liu Cong and Liu Xiuyi, there is no comparison.


    Cai Mao changed his way of thinking and said, "Liu Qi got Liu Bei''s help in Xinye. He jumped up and made great achievements. The Lord also praised Mr. Qi. He mentioned Mr. Qi several times and said that he had done very well. It''s impossible to put it in the original place. Mr. Cong, please don''t let Liu Qi and Liu Xiu go ahead, and spend more time on business. "


    Liu Cong nodded and said, "yes, Cong''er understands."


    In front of CAI Mao, Liu Cong nodded all the time. This scene made Cai Mao sigh, and finally he was speechless.


    There was nothing to talk about. Cai Mao turned and left.


    At this moment, in CAI Mao''s heart, there was the idea of regret, and even the idea of giving up Liu Cong. I just thought that my relationship with Liu Xiu was very stiff, so I finally had to let it go.


    On the contrary, Liu Cong, looking at Cai Mao''s back, soon returned to the room, and there was a sound of Pa Pa PA.


    ¡­¡­


    In Liu Xiu''s yard, he got the news that Cai Mao met Liu Biao.


    In this way, Liu Xiu was relieved.


    Cai Mao''s ability is not particularly outstanding, but he has a clear understanding of Liu Biao''s character. Cai Mao personally went to persuade Liu Biao that even if he promised to give Liu Bei food, it would not be too much.


    In the study, Pang Tong and Liu Xiu sit opposite each other.


    Pang Tong said: "Lord, it has been some days since you returned to Xiangyang. When do you plan to leave?"


    Liu xiudao: "Liu Bei came to Xiangyang to borrow grain. I want to stop it and make it more difficult for Liu Bei. This time, I may stay in Xiangyang for a few days


    Pang Tong nodded and said, "if so, I will go back to you county first. Taishici has fallen into the trap, and the power of Yuzhang county has weakened. Now is a good opportunity to attack Yuzhang county. Only by rushing back one step can we make a layout again. "


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu said: "you inform Deng Zhan to take the soldiers South and take Lu Su with you."


    Pang Tong said, "don''t you leave the soldiers to protect the Lord?"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "this is Xiangyang. There will be no problem. What''s more, with the yellow tiger by my side, it doesn''t matter. "


    Pang Tong thought about it, but he didn''t feel any problem. He nodded and agreed.


    During these days in Xiangyang, Pang Tong and Pang Degong had a family relationship and met his younger brother Pang Lin. Pang Lin was responsible for his family''s affairs and Pang Degong was responsible for them. Pang Tong didn''t need to worry. Instead of staying in Xiangyang and having nothing to do, it''s better to go south to you county and strive to break down Yuzhang County as soon as possible.

 Chapter 203

    The inn is Liu Bei''s residence.


    After returning to the inn from the Tianshi temple, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu''s temper is always on the verge of breaking out, and they even have the impulse to smash the Tianshi temple. What kind of God''s temple claims that they will die in the future. Fortunately, under Liu Bei''s pressure, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn''t make trouble.


    For Zhang Fei, the approval of Taoist Chang Qing''s life is an insult.


    For Guan Yu, Taoist Changqing underestimated his ability.


    Liu Bei has been indifferent and calm.


    As he said at the Tianshi temple, no matter what the final outcome is, Liu Bei will never change his ambition. Even if there is a sea of fire ahead, he will make a breakthrough.


    The next morning, Liu Bei got up early to wash his clothes, put on his official clothes, and was ready to go to the prefecture. He left time for Liu Biao to consider, that is, let Liu Biao raise food.


    Liu Biao didn''t move all the time. Liu Bei was very worried and had to go there in person.


    "Dong! Dong


    Knock on the door, outside the room.


    "Who?" Liu Bei asked


    "Lord, I''m Zhao Yun."


    A loud voice sounded outside the room, and Liu Bei opened the door.


    Zhao Yun is in his early 30s. He has sword eyebrows and bright eyes. His eyes are like stars and his nose is like gall. He is handsome and elegant. He is a scholar general. Standing at the door of the room, dressed in a white robe, dignified.


    Liu Bei opened the door with a happy look on his face and said, "Zilong, come in quickly. How did you come to Xiangyang?"


    Zhao Yun entered the room and said, "it was the military adviser who asked me to come."


    Liu Bei''s expression made him nervous.


    Liu Bei trusted Zhuge Liang 100% and even handed over all the military and political power to Liu Bei. I have to say that this is not only Liu Bei''s courage, but also Liu Bei''s instrument. Liu Bei has no doubt about the selection of people and no doubt about them. He has no doubt about the people he has chosen and gives his full support to them.


    In fact, Zhuge Liang did feel respected and trusted by Liu Bei.


    During his stay in Xinye, Zhuge Liang worked hard and did his best, not daring to relax.


    Zhao Yun zhengse said: "the military division bought grain in Xinye, but it had little effect. Today, in addition to the apparent 10000 soldiers in the army, the other 20000 are short of food. The military adviser said that the hidden 20000 soldiers were the Lord''s trump card, but the food supply in Xinye was limited and could not support 20000 people. Please try your best to mediate and raise at least 100000 grains. Only in this way can the army be maintained, together with the grain production of the army. "


    "A hundred thousand stones!"


    Liu Bei only has a handful of flowers, which is not a small sum.


    One hundred thousand stone grain, too much.


    Liu Biao would be shocked if he heard this number.


    Liu Bei expression embarrassed, said: "so much food, in a hurry, not together?"


    Zhao Yun took out a brocade bag from his clothes and handed it to Liu Bei. He said, "the military adviser said, please open the brocade bag and write on it what to do."


    In Liu Bei''s eyes, a happy look suddenly appeared.


    After opening the brocade bag, Liu Bei''s expression became bitter gourd color.


    Zhao Yun said, "my Lord, what does the military adviser say?"


    Liu Bei said: "the military adviser said that we should make an alliance with Liu Xiu, and then borrow grain from the Huang family and Pang family through Liu Xiu. The Huang family and Pang family run Quyuan plows, bobbins and so on. They have rich financial resources and countless grains. They can at least produce 100000 grains. "


    Zhao Yun said: "in this case, we will go to Liu Xiu immediately."


    Liu Bei shook his head and said, "it''s easy to make a military plan, but it''s hard to do it. The main reason is that we have a problem with Liu Xiu. When I came to Xiangyang this time, I met Liu Xiu in Tianshi temple a few days ago, and there was another conflict. Well, it''s really difficult. "


    on Zhao yunjunlang''s cheek, there was a look of embarrassment.


    When Liu Xiu and Liu Bei clashed in Xinye, Zhao Yun led the troops outside, but did not see Liu Xiu. This time Liu Bei came to Xiangyang, he had a conflict with Liu Xiu, but Zhao Yun didn''t see Liu Xiu.


    Zhao Yun browed dignified, said: "if the food can not make up, the consequences are very serious."


    Zhao Yun is clear about the situation in the army.


    If there is not enough food, it will be very difficult to expand the army.


    Liu Bei clenched his teeth and said, "in the strategist''s plan, he said that he would form an alliance with Liu Xiu. If we don''t form an alliance with Liu Xiu, we will be able to gather all the food. The Kuai and Cai families in Jingzhou are all big families, and they also have numerous farmlands and shops. If the CAI and Kuai families are willing to borrow food, it will be much easier. "


    Zhao Yun asked, "Lord, how much grain is Liu Biao willing to take out?"


    Liu Bei said: "I don''t know for the moment. Today, I''m going to the prefecture to confirm the grain."


    Zhao Yun said: "the end will wait for the good news of the Lord in the inn."


    Liu Bei said, "don''t you go back to Xinye?"


    Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "the military adviser said that food is very important. Let me stay in Xiangyang for a while and listen to the Lord''s dispatch."


    Liu Bei said: "well, one more person, one more strength."Immediately, Liu Bei got up and left the inn.


    When he arrived at the prefecture, Liu Bei saw Liu Biao in the hall. Liu Bei looked anxious and said, "brother Jingsheng, this morning, Bei received the news from Xinye that there is not enough food in the army. The situation is very critical."


    Liu Biao said with a smile, "if you don''t come today, I will send someone for you. After several days of raising money for my brother, I raised ten thousand stone grain for you. Dear brother, the harvest in Xiangyang this year is not very good, and Jingzhou also needs a lot of food. Therefore, the grain for my brother is only ten thousand stones. "


    "Ten thousand stones!"


    Liu Bei''s eyes showed a look of disappointment.


    In his expectation, Liu Biao had to raise at least 30000 stone grains, or even more. Unexpectedly, it was only 10000 stone.


    Liu Bei said: "brother Jingsheng, ten thousand stone grain will not last long. Brother Jingsheng, can you help raise money again? "


    Liu Biao shook his head and said, "my dear brother, these ten thousand stone grains are all picked from the rations of the soldiers in the army. It''s not easy. If the younger brother thinks that there is less, let it go. "


    On hearing this, Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "ten thousand is ten thousand, which can at least alleviate the problem of food shortage. Thank you, brother Jingsheng. Ten thousand stone grain. Please arrange for it to be transported to Xinye as soon as possible. "


    Liu Biao said with a smile: "you should try your best, and you can rest assured."


    Liu Bei sighed and said, "now there is a shortage of food, so we have to think about something. So I won''t disturb brother Jingsheng. Goodbye. "


    "Not far away!"


    Liu Biao smiles and looks at Liu Bei leaving with a sneer in his heart.


    Liu Bei left the prefecture and was very disappointed. Instead of going back to the inn immediately, he went to the Cai family to borrow food from Cai Mao. Liu Biao''s contribution to Liu Bei''s decrease in grain is due to Cai Mao. Cai Mao naturally won''t agree to borrow grain. After some shirking, Liu Bei left disappointed.


    After leaving the Cai family, Liu Bei went to the Kuai family with great hope. Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue stood on Liu Xiu''s side and agreed to Liu Xiu earlier. Naturally, they would not borrow food. After some shirking, Liu Bei came back in vain.


    After a series of failures, Liu Bei was also frustrated and began to hesitate.


    Do you really want to ask Liu Xiu?


    Liu Bei was deeply humiliated, but thinking of his hegemony, he finally made up his mind and decided to visit Liu Xiu. He went back to the Inn and told Zhao Yun the news that Liu Biao had borrowed ten thousand stone grain. Zhao Yun also thought it was too little.


    Zhao Yun asked, "Lord, what''s next?"


    Liu Bei said: "the Cai family and the Kuai family do not borrow grain. The only way is to ask Liu Xiu. Second younger brother and third younger brother are impatient, and they have a grudge with Liu Xiu, so it''s not appropriate to meet. They stay in the inn, and you follow me to see Liu Xiu. "


    "No!"


    Zhao Yun nodded and agreed.

 Chapter 204

    Pang Tong and Deng Zhan left Xiangyang with 800 soldiers and Lu su. Liu Xiu personally went to see them off.


    After sending the party out of Xiangyang City, Liu Xiu returned to the prefecture. Although he was in the mansion, Liu Xiu paid close attention to Liu Bei''s news. Liu Bei got ten thousand stone grain in the prefecture. He went to visit the Kuai family and the Cai family, but failed to get a grain.


    Liu Xiu understood all this carefully.


    Liu Xiu estimated that Liu Bei would visit him next. Liu Bei needs food. If he can''t find any other way, finding Liu Xiu is the last choice. As long as Liu Xiu agrees to build a bridge, the Huang family and Pang family can easily solve the problem of 100000 stone grain.


    "Da! Dada


    A burst of footwork sound, quickly came.


    Xia he came to the yard in a hurry and reported: "young master, Liu Bei is waiting outside the house to see him."


    "Please


    At the corner of his mouth, Liu Xiu raised a smile.


    Once upon a time, he was just a concubine of the prefecture, and had no power. In the past, when he saw Liu Bei, he had to salute him respectfully and even look up to him. Now, the great uncle, Liu Bei, who has been through many battles, comes to him personally.


    Everything is caused by rights.


    Liu Xiu in this life, the more upward efforts, more and more feel that a man can not be powerless for a day.


    Powerless and powerless, they can only be mercilessly crushed in this troubled times.


    After a while, Liu Bei and Zhao Yun came to the yard. As soon as they enter the courtyard, Liu Xiu''s eyes fall on Zhao Yun, who is dressed in white and dignified.


    Liu Xiu got up to greet him and said, "Mr. Xuande, we meet again."


    Liu Bei clasped his fist in reply and said, "Mr. Xiu, you are very polite."


    Liu Xiu fixed his eyes on Zhao Yun. He had a guess in his heart and asked, "I haven''t seen the people around Xuande Gong. Who is this brave man?"


    "This is Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong," Liu Bei said


    Liu Xiu''s secret way is that only Zhao Yun has such a dignified and outstanding temperament. In Liu Xiu''s eyes, there was a look of appreciation, praising: "general Zilong''s prestige has long been heard by him. I heard that general Zilong used to be a general under the command of Gongsun Zan of Youzhou. He was in command of Baima Yicong? There are few rivals in the north. "


    Zhao Yun is neither humble nor overbearing, and said, "young master Xiu, I''m flattered. Zhao Yun is just a member of Baima Yi, and it''s not worth mentioning."


    When Gongsun Zan was alive, Zhao Yun, commander in chief of Baima Yicong, was really powerful.


    With the defeat of Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun became homeless and eventually went south to surrender to Liu Bei. Not only that, Liu Bei is like a brother to Zhao Yun, which makes Zhao Yun respect him very much.


    Liu Xiu also said: "since general Zilong was born in Baima Yicong, he must be proficient in cavalry training methods. There is a lack of horses in Jiangnan, and there is also a lack of generals who are good at cavalry. It''s enviable to have a general like general Zilong in Xuande. "


    Zhao Yun said again: "Mr. Xiu, I''m flattered!"


    Liu Bei took the initiative to say: "Jingzhou wenpin is a great general, and Cai Junshi is also good at marching. Moreover, young master Xiu himself is a man of both culture and martial arts. "


    Liu Xiu took a look at Liu Bei and said with a smile: "Oh, just now, influenced by general Zilong''s style, he forgot Xuande. Please forgive me."


    It is clear that Liu Bei has said something, but Liu Xiu is so ashamed that Liu Bei has no light on his face.


    Liu Bei looked calm, but said: "no harm!"


    For Liu Bei, Liu Xiu did it intentionally, but Liu Bei didn''t care about it. His eyes were calm and he thought, if I didn''t have this forbearance, I would have gone home to farm.


    Liu Xiu glanced at Zhao Yun again and turned his mind.


    At the beginning, Liu Xiu wanted to make it difficult for Liu Bei to prepare for grain production. Now when he saw Zhao Yun, his mind became active.


    For Liu Bei, Zhao Yun is a great general.


    If you win Zhao Yun, or you alienate the relationship between Liu Bei and Zhao Yun, it would be the best.


    Although Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not brothers, they are better than their blood brothers. It is impossible to alienate Liu, Guan and Zhang. Zhao Yun is different. Zhao Yun and Liu Bei have a good relationship, but in the final analysis, the relationship between their superiors and subordinates has not reached the level of brothers.


    Liu Xiu was sensitive and said, "what''s the matter with Xuande''s visit?"


    Liu Bei''s expression became serious, and he said, "I''m here to see you. I have something to ask for."


    Liu Xiu said, "what''s the matter?"


    Liu Bei said: "Xinye is short of food. The soldiers in the army are in trouble. This time I came to borrow grain from jingshenggong, but I only raised ten thousand stone grain. Ten thousand stone grain is a drop in the bucket for the soldiers in the army. Young master Xiu has outstanding ability and quick thinking. Therefore, I''d like to call on him and ask him for some advice. "


    Liu Bei''s real purpose is to let Liu Xiu borrow food from the Huang and Pang families.


    However, he didn''t want to throw out his goal directly. He made a detour and asked Liu Xiu for advice. If Liu Xiu takes the initiative to ask for help from the Pang and Huang families, Liu Bei can ask Liu Xiu for help.


    "Alas..."Liu Xiu heard the speech, but sighed.


    Liu Bei said, "why do you sigh?"


    Liu Xiu said, "doesn''t Xuande know my situation? I''m the most embarrassed person in the prefecture. In terms of birth, the eldest brother is the eldest son; in terms of ability, the second brother is outstanding and deeply loved by his father. I''m not the only one, and I''m not likable. So much so that I can only be a magistrate outside. "


    "What''s more, I don''t have the ability to instruct Xuande Gong."


    "If Xuande doesn''t come to me, I''m afraid I have to find Xuande to guide me."


    Liu Xiu sighed and said: "now I''m in charge of you County, I''m always afraid that a bad one will affect the situation of Jingzhou and the prestige of my father. The most important thing is that even my father can only raise ten thousand stone grains. How can I raise more grains? "


    When Liu Bei heard the speech, he secretly scolded Liu Xiu for his thick face.


    What is a lack of talent and learning?


    Cao Cao congratulated the emperor on his birthday. His original intention was to knock down the mountain and shake the tiger. But in the end, he suffered a lot, which was caused by you LIU Xiu.


    Liu Qi''s going north is directed by you, otherwise Liu Qi is still trapped in the prefecture.


    Lu Su was killed. You did it.


    Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were cheated by you.


    Pile by pile, piece by piece, which one are you shriveled? It''s clear that you''ve let other people eat. This kind of ability is obviously a lie with open eyes.


    Liu Bei understands that Liu Xiu deliberately shirks, but there is no way. Who let him ask for help?


    Before he came, Liu Bei knew it would not be easy. But it''s not easy. Compared with the trembling in Xu county, the life in Xu county is not guaranteed. Now it''s very good.


    Liu Bei''s face remained unchanged, and he continued: "master Xiu is modest. Kong Ming once said that if there are ten talents in the world, master Xiu will have six."


    Liu Xiu said: "in my opinion, if the talent of the world is very good, Kong Ming should have six points."


    Liu Bei said, "young master Xiu is modest."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "brother Kong Ming is really capable. He is not only good at government affairs, but also good at marching. It''s a rare talent to be able to run the army on the horse and run the country on the horse. "


    Liu Bei nodded after listening. Liu Bei felt that Zhuge Liang''s loyalty was a gift from God.


    Liu Bei stares at Liu Xiu and his mind turns.


    From the conversation just now, Liu Xiu showed that oil and salt are not in the market. In this case, it''s impossible for Liu Xiu to take the initiative to help or lead the topic to borrow food from the Huang and Pang families.


    The only way is to get to the point.


    Liu Bei said: "Mr. Xiu, Kong Ming originally planned to come to Xiangyang in person, but Xinye has too many government affairs. He can''t get away from it. I''m the only one who comes to find Mr. Xiu. Kong Ming hopes to make an alliance with him."


    Liu Xiu said, "is this Zhuge Liang''s opinion or Xuande Gong''s?"


    When it comes to business, Liu Xiu looks serious.


    Liu Bei looked serious and said solemnly, "Kong Ming''s opinion is my opinion. Brother Jingsheng only favors Mr. Cong. Mr. Xiu and Mr. Qi are not valued. No matter Mr. Qi or Mr. Xiu, if you want to succeed, you must unite. An alliance between the two sides is the best choice. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and asked, "can Xuande represent the elder brother?"


    With a confident look on his face, Liu Bei said with a loud voice: "when I went down to Xiangyang, I visited Mr. Qi. He said that the government affairs of Nanyang County should be handled by me."

 Chapter 205

    Liu Xiu raised his thumb and praised: "Xuande is really a good means. In a short time, he won the trust of his elder brother. But for big brother, it''s a good thing to have Xuande''s support. "


    Liu Bei said: "it''s all childe Qi''s trust."


    Zhao Yun sat on one side, looking at the confrontation between Liu Bei and Liu Xiu, with a solemn look.


    In Xinye, Zhao Yun heard Liu Xiu''s name several times, which can be described as thunderous. Now when he saw Liu Xiu with his own eyes, he found that he was very cheeky and didn''t even blink when he lied. At the same time, Liu Xiu''s thinking is very agile, and his words are tricky. His words and deeds are not leaking, so people can''t catch the loopholes.


    Liu Bei has been a veteran for decades, but he is still tired of dealing with it. Of course, this is also due to the fact that Liu Xiu has the initiative, and Liu Bei has the reason to ask Liu Xiu.


    Liu Bei took a deep breath and said, "what do you think about the alliance


    Liu xiudao said, "what benefits can I get from making an alliance with elder brother or Xuande Gong?"


    Liu Bei said: "there is a big childe here, who can resist the threat of Cong childe for xiuchilde."


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Liu Xiu couldn''t help laughing and said, "Xuande, this is the funniest joke I''ve ever heard. Elder brother is already a mud Bodhisattva. He can''t protect himself. Can he help me? It''s a joke. These days, is Liu Cong less focused on me? Without big brother, I still survived. Maybe after the alliance, it will become a new situation. If there is no one to restrain it, it will be better. "


    Liu Bei''s mouth twitched and his eyes were more dignified than ever.


    Once Liu Xiu refuses to form an alliance, what should he do?


    Zhao Yun was also worried that it would be difficult to reach an alliance this time. Before he came, Zhuge Liang had personally asked him to borrow grain. The alliance with Liu Xiu was to borrow food from the Pang and Huang families. If it fails, it will have a great impact on Liu Bei''s subsequent expansion and development.


    Liu Bei was silent. He didn''t know what to say?


    In today''s situation, Liu Bei is at a disadvantage. He has a request from Liu Xiu and is in a dilemma everywhere. Liu Bei''s mind turned and he thought, if we can''t talk with Liu Xiu now, we''d better stop for a while and go back to find a way.


    Immediately, Liu Bei said with a smile: "Mr. Xiu, about the alliance, Mr. Xiu will think about it again. I have something important to deal with. I''ll call again next time. "


    Liu Xiu eyebrow head a pick, did not expect Liu Bei back.


    No more food?


    No way!


    All the channels Liu Bei can find are blocked, and Liu Bei can''t give up.


    After Liu Xiu had a decision in his heart, he didn''t ask him to stay. He said, "in that case, Xuande is busy first." Liu Bei got up to leave, and Liu Xiu saw him off in person.


    After returning to the inn, Liu Bei had a gloomy face and said nothing.


    Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun sat in the room, and their expressions were very dignified.


    Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard under his jaw, and his face was more serious. He said slowly: "brother, since Liu Xiu doesn''t want to form an alliance, that''s OK. Without Liu Xiu''s food, we should recruit fewer soldiers. "


    Zhang Fei said, "brother, when he went to see Liu Xiu, he met with difficulties everywhere. There is no need to go again. Big brother, as a royal nobleman, can''t afford such a face. "


    What they value is Liu Bei''s face.


    However, what Liu Bei valued was grain. He clenched his fist and said in a deep voice: "according to the plan of the military division, as long as this batch of grain arrives in Xinye. The troops can be strengthened once more. At that time, even if the Cao bandits go south, they will have the strength to resist. We can even support Mr. Qi to take charge of Jingzhou. This is an opportunity. Even if there are many difficulties ahead, I will not give up. "


    Zhao Yun sighed: "my Lord, Liu Xiu is very tricky, and it''s hard to persuade him if he doesn''t get oil and salt."


    Liu Bei said: "Liu Xiu is a human being. There will be weaknesses. I will not give up."


    As soon as the words changed, Liu Bei said, "you all have to think about how to persuade Liu Xiu to form an alliance. As long as you make an alliance with Liu Xiu and borrow food from him, it will be much easier. "


    Zhao Yun said: "my Lord, when talking with Liu Xiu, he mentioned cavalry. The cavalry in Jingzhou is very weak, but there are a number of horses in our army. Liu Xiu may be moved by the exchange of horses and grain. "


    "War horse?"


    In Liu Bei''s eyes, he was reluctant to give up.


    The hundreds of war horses in the army were purchased from the north by Liu Bei through the channels of horse merchants Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping. They are very scarce materials. With cavalry composed of horses, Liu Bei''s troops are more elite.


    This group of horses are Liu Bei''s treasures. Liu Bei is reluctant to give them to Liu Xiu. Liu Bei shook his head and refused: "Zilong, you can''t use the horses in the army unless you have to. Even, they would rather give up food than war horses. "


    Zhao Yun said: "it''s too difficult to persuade Liu Xiu."


    Liu Bei said: "no matter what, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up. Since I can''t think of it, let''s go down and have a good rest. Tomorrow morning, Zilong and I will visit Liu Xiu in the prefecture


    "No!"


    As Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu leave, Liu Bei sits alone in the room, thinking carefully.What should I do?


    How to persuade Liu Xiu!


    Liu Bei thought and thought, but in the end there was no solution. He lay on his bed and muttered to himself, "it''s all right. I''ll see Liu Xiu tomorrow. I''ll come straight to the point and say that I''ll borrow food to see what conditions he puts forward."


    If we can''t figure out a solution, we can only give up the alliance and let Liu Xiu propose conditions.


    The next morning, Liu Bei and Zhao Yun went to zhoumu prefecture to see Liu Xiu again.


    In the yard, three people sit opposite each other.


    Liu Xiu said: "Xuande Gong is here to make an alliance. It''s not good for me to make an alliance with my elder brother. I don''t think it''s necessary. "


    Liu Bei said: "if xiugongzi agrees to form an alliance and defeat conggongzi, qigongzi is willing to respect xiugongzi and let xiugongzi inherit Jingzhou."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Xuande''s joke is too big. I don''t intend to fight for it."


    In a word, there is no flaw.


    Liu Bei took a deep breath and knew that he had to say it straight to the point. He said slowly, "if you don''t think it''s an alliance, it''s an alliance. This time I came to see Mr. Xiu to borrow some food. Xinye army is short of food, and it needs 100000 stone of food. Jingshenggong couldn''t allocate so much grain to me, neither did the CAI and Kuai families. He is the only one who can take out so much food. "


    Liu Bei said: "as long as xiugongzi is willing to borrow food, whatever conditions xiugongzi needs, just put forward it. As long as Liubei can complete it, he will do his best."


    Liu Bei sighed in his heart. This means that he has no cards, no room to turn around, let Liu Xiu blackmail.


    Zhao Yun sat on one side, waiting quietly.


    Promise!


    Promise!


    Zhao Yun prayed in his heart. He followed Liu Bei all the way and witnessed Liu Bei''s ups and downs. Liu Bei''s indomitable spirit also moved Zhao Yun.


    Liu Xiu fell into silence, the other side opened the cards, Liu Xiu again twists and turns, there is no meaning.


    Promise and offer!


    No, no!


    Liu Xiu is faced with only these two choices.


    Liu Bei is on pins and needles, looking at Liu Xiu, clenching his hands into a fist. In Liu Bei''s view, this military expansion is an important turning point related to his next layout, which can only succeed without failure.


    Liu Xiu suddenly laughed and said, "I can promise you."


    "Hoo


    Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the speech.


    Finally!


    Liu Xiu finally agreed.


    As long as Liu Xiu agrees to give food, Liu Xiu can negotiate on the terms he offers.


    Liu Bei said, "what are the conditions for xiugongzi?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes shifted and fell on Zhao Yun. This action makes Liu Bei nervous. Does it have something to do with Zhao Yun? At this time, Zhao Yun was also nervous, and he was not at ease.


    Liu Xiuse said: "Xuande, my condition is very simple. I will give you 100000 stone grain, and you will give me Zhao Yun. How about that?"


    "Boom!"


    Liu Bei''s brain exploded and his face showed an unbelievable look.


    This is actually Liu Xiu''s condition.


    Zhao yunso stood up and stared at Liu Xiu. He couldn''t believe it. Zhao Yun couldn''t figure out how Liu Xiu could offer to exchange him. It''s so strange.


    Liu Bei tried to calm himself down and said, "Mr. Xiu, the conditions are too harsh."

 Chapter 206

    Liu Xiuse said: "Xuande Gong, you should understand the value of 100000 stone grain to you. Zhao Yun, a person, for 100000 stone grain. I don''t think it''s a hard decision. "


    For Liu Bei, the role of 100000 stone grain and millions of Jin grain is absolutely ineffable.


    But let Liu Bei sell Zhao Yun, Liu Bei can''t do it.


    Most importantly, if Liu Bei betrays Zhao Yun, what will his other generals think of him? In Liu Bei''s mind, he thought all this very clearly.


    If you get 100000 tons of grain, you can get huge benefits, but what you lose is cohesion.


    Without food, cohesion is still there.


    If people are still there, they will be able to fight again and struggle unremittingly.


    After Liu Bei thought it over, he said, "Mr. Xiu, although Zilong is my subordinate, I can''t decide whether he will stay or not. So I can''t agree to your offer. "


    Zhao Yun was relieved and sat down again.


    As a subordinate of Liu Bei, as Liu Bei said, Liu Bei can''t decide his fate. But if Liu Bei really agrees, Zhao Yun will be disappointed.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Liu Bei is really old and spicy. He knows how to buy people''s hearts.".


    In a word, let Zhao Yun heart and soul.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Zhao Yun and said slowly, "general Zilong, if you are willing to serve for me. Well, I can give Xuande Gong 100000 stone grain for free. What do you think? "


    Suddenly, Zhao Yun was dumb.


    Liu Xiu''s request seems simple, but Zhao Yun is in a dilemma. If Zhao Yunzhong shares Liu Bei''s worries, he should think about Liu Bei and agree to Liu Xiu''s conditions. But Zhao Yun didn''t want to, because he was loyal to Liu Bei.


    Looking at Liu Xiu, Liu Bei was stunned for a moment.


    In the yard, there was silence.


    After half a sound, Liu Bei said: "master Xiu, don''t tempt Zilong. Even if Zilong agrees to your terms, I will not accept your 100000 stone grain. Although I need food badly, it''s not so. "


    "Hoo


    Zhao Yun was relieved and relaxed.


    But in Zhao Yun''s heart, Liu Bei''s hesitation just now flashed. When Liu Bei hesitates, it is also Liu Bei who is choosing, or Liu Bei and Zhao Yun who make a decision.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Xuande waited for a while before he denied it. Obviously, he was waiting for Zhao Yun to make a decision. However, such a thing, Zhao Yun is in a dilemma, it is impossible to make a decision. Xuande Gong, 100000 stone grain, you are excited. "


    Liu Bei''s face became serious when he heard the speech.


    In my eyes, a cold color flashed.


    Liu Xiu''s words are clearly intended to alienate the relationship between him and Zhao Yun, which is reprehensible.


    Zhao Yun glanced at Liu Xiu, and his eyes were even more scared. Liu Xiu is young, but every step seems to have a purpose, and even embarrasses Liu Bei. Such a person, too terrible.


    Liu Bei played twelve points spirit, way: "repair childe, 100000 stone grain, who don''t heart?"? But a man is a man who does something and does nothing. If I trade my generals for food, I will never agree. "


    If the plan failed, Liu Xiu said, "Lord Xuande, I''m afraid I can''t lend you 100000 stone grain. And Xuande Gong, the so-called borrowing, you and I understand, is just an excuse. You borrowed 100000 tons of grain. What can you give back? Therefore, it''s better to say that I''ll give you 100000 stone grain. Although the terms I offer are harsh, they are not too harsh. "


    Liu Bei said: "Mr. Xiu, I come to negotiate with you sincerely. So, please give me a more realistic condition. If it''s all such unreasonable conditions, we can only let it go. "


    Now, Liu Bei is still thinking about Liu Xiu''s 100000 stone grain.


    Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "in fact, there are other conditions. It depends on how Xuande decides."


    Liu Bei said, "what are the conditions?"


    Liu Xiu had a sharp look in his eyes and said slowly, "in another way, you lend me Zhao Yun for three months. Three months later, Zhao Yun returned to Xinye. As long as Xuan De Gong agrees, I let Pang Jia allocate food from the shops and give you one hundred thousand stone grain.


    "Xuande Gong, the reason why I want Zhao Yun is that he is good at commanding cavalry. During his three months in you County, he had to train a cavalry for me."


    "Such conditions should not be considered difficult."


    Liu Xiu''s face was firm, and he said, "if Xuande doesn''t agree to this condition, then Xuande won''t visit again. Tomorrow morning, I''m going to leave for Youxian."


    This is Liu Xiu''s real purpose. Liu Bei will hand over Zhao Yun. As long as Liu Bei is not a fool, he will not do it.


    No matter what, Liu Bei can''t agree.


    However, Liu Xiu could not come to the point and put forward his own purpose. He went around and came back to his real purpose. Especially with the foreshadowing ahead, the present conditions are much more moderate.


    In Liu Xiu''s view, if we can use grain to alienate Liu Bei and Zhao Yun, there is no doubt that it is worth it. Although there is a lot of grain in 100000 stone, it is not a problem for you county or Pang family.Liu Bei and Zhao Yun looked at each other and were silent.


    This condition is not so harsh.


    Liu Bei doesn''t speak, but Zhao Yun is in a bit of a dilemma. If he doesn''t take the initiative, Liu Bei will be embarrassed. Zhao Yun also saw that Liu Bei was moved, but if Liu Bei took the initiative to put it forward, he meant to sell his subordinates. The best result is that Zhao Yun took the initiative to put it forward.


    Liu xiucui asked: "how about Xuande Gong''s consideration?"


    Liu Bei took a deep breath. Since Zhao Yun didn''t speak, he couldn''t sell Zhao Yun on his own initiative. He had to refuse. He said, "master Xiu, I..."


    Liu Bei a mouth, suddenly, Zhao Yun said: "repair childe, I agree."


    "Zilong, you..." Liu Bei frowned and said, "we need food, but there is no need to compromise."


    Zhao Yun shook his head and said firmly: "Lord, it''s only three months. In three months, I will return to Xinye Zhao Yun said so, but there was still a trace of loss in his heart. The relationship between monarch and minister, mixed with business, changed the taste in a moment. However, Zhao Yun has always been loyal, and he didn''t think much about it. It was a good result that he could help Liu Bei.


    Liu Xiu looked at Liu Bei and said, "Duke Xuande, Zilong has agreed. The final decision is still up to you. If you don''t agree, take it as if I didn''t mention it. You agree. I''ll talk to the pangs. "


    "Yes


    Liu Bei took a look at Zhao Yun and nodded his head.


    100000 stone grain. He needs it so much.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "since that''s the case, let Xuande and Zilong go back first. Tomorrow, Zilong will follow me to the south. At the same time, the businessmen of Pang family will take the initiative to contact you. Now I''m going to lumen mountain to discuss the food. "


    "Goodbye!"


    Liu Bei arched his hand and walked out without saying a word.


    Zhao Yun arched his hand and left.


    Out of the prefecture, Liu Bei folded his hands and bowed to Zhao Yun, saying, "Zilong, on behalf of tens of thousands of soldiers in Xinye, I thank you. In three months, I''m waiting for you to come back. "


    Zhao Yunqiang said with a smile: "don''t worry, my Lord. It''s only three months. It''s no big deal."


    They went to the inn in a carriage.


    Liu Xiu went out of the prefecture, drove his horse out of the city, and ran all the way to the foot of lumen mountain. Without delay, he went straight up the mountain. After going up the mountain, Zi ah saw Mr. pound in his study.


    Liu Xiuse said: "teacher, this time I came here, I asked the teacher for help."


    Pound: "what''s fair?"


    "I need 100000 stone grain," Liu said


    Without any hesitation, Pang Degong said directly, "no problem. I asked someone to allocate 100000 stone grain for you. You can rest assured that it will be delivered to you County in the shortest time."


    We have 100% support for Liu Xiu and Pang Degong. In Pound''s view, Liu Xiu was calm in his work, and his decisions were well thought out.


    Therefore, Mr. pound did not ask for the purpose at all.


    Liu Xiu explained: "no, this 100000 stone grain is for Liu Bei. The specific condition is that he promised to lend me Zhao Yun, his powerful general, for three months. "


    Pound thought for a while and said, "do you like Zhao Yun?"


    In Pound''s opinion, the so-called three months is just a number.


    Liu Xiu''s real purpose is Zhao Yun.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "the teacher has a good eye. His disciples really like Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also a general in charge of the army. His ability is no less than Wen pin''s. If you can succeed, the benefits are self-evident. It''s a good deal to exchange a hundred thousand stone grain for a peerless general. Even if it doesn''t succeed, it can alienate Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei can''t reuse Zhao Yun. "


    Pound nodded and said, "you''ve decided. I''ll give you my full support. Just do as you want. Anyway, it''s useless for the Pang family to store so much money and food. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "thank you, teacher. Send someone to contact Liu Bei early tomorrow morning."


    Pound is just: "don''t worry, the teacher will do it for you."


    The two masters and disciples looked at each other, their faces showing a knowing smile.

 Chapter 207

    In the middle of November, the weather in Xiangyang was already quite cold.


    Liu Xiu got up early in the morning. After morning exercise and breakfast, he went to see Liu Biao in his study. This time I stayed in Xiangyang for a few days, but I have already delayed my return.


    Taking Zhao Yun temporarily alienates the relationship between Liu Bei and Zhao Yun, and digs a hole for Liu Bei to jump in.


    When it''s done, it''s time to go south.


    In the study, Liu Xiu explained his intention to go south and said, "my son can''t be filial to his father. Please don''t work too hard and take care of himself."


    Liu Biao wrapped his cloak tightly and said with a smile, "you have outstanding ability. You don''t have to worry about being a father. My father is waiting for you to take Yuzhang county. At that time, you are the eunuch of Yuzhang county


    For Yuzhang County, Liu Biao is also very greedy.


    Jingzhou in the hands of Liu Biao, although peaceful, but never expansion.


    On the contrary, it is Jiang Dong who constantly provokes.


    Now Liu Xiu is actively planning Yuzhang County, and Liu Biao has 100% support. He expects Liu Xiu to give him a satisfactory answer.


    Liu Xiuse said: "please rest assured father, son will take Yuzhang county."


    "Go


    Liu Biao waved and his eyes were full of admiration.


    With the rise of Liu Xiu, Liu Biao is more and more satisfied with his son. Liu Biao''s impression of Liu Xiu gradually changed because he didn''t seek power or fight for power, and he didn''t take part in the struggle for his son.


    Of course, the foundation of everything is based on Liu Xiu''s outstanding ability to win Yuzhang county.


    Liu Xiu stepped down respectfully and went to the backyard to see CAI.


    Although Liu Xiu didn''t like Cai very much, CAI was his nominal mother. Liu Xiu couldn''t let outsiders pick on him. He said something to CAI and left with Huang Hu and the accompanying soldiers.


    Just out of the prefecture, Zhao Yun has been waiting.


    Liu Xiu saw Zhao Yun, with a smile on his face, and said, "Zilong, did the Pang merchants find Xuande Gong?"


    Zhao Yun said: "when the cloud came, the Pang family had already arrived."


    "Good, let''s go!"


    Liu Xiu no longer asked, but took Huang Hu and Zhao Yun on his way.


    They soon left the city and went straight south.


    Xiangyang City, inn.


    After Liu Bei made an agreement with the Pang merchant, the merchant left the inn first. Liu Bei shouts Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. They leave the house and gallop away. On the way out of the city, Guan Yu had a dignified expression and said, "this time, for the sake of 100000 stone grain, let Zilong go to you county. The news came back to Xinye. I don''t know what the military division''s reaction was. "


    Liu Bei said: "second younger brother, this is a disgrace. It''s a disgrace that I have worked hard to remember. This time, I will remember the shame. When we are strong in the future, we must give it back to Liu Xiu. "


    Zhang Fei hated Liu Xiu even more. He clenched his fist and said, "yes, I must give it back to Liu Xiu. In the future, we must severely humiliate Liu Xiu. "


    Guan Yu said: "Liu Xiu is hateful, but he is extremely cunning. This time I took Zilong to you county. I don''t know what will happen in these three months. "


    Liu Bei said: "no matter what, it can''t be stopped. Now that it happened, don''t think about the consequences. What we have to do now is train the soldiers. "


    The three brothers are worried, and then quickly to Xinye.


    Entering Xinye, Liu Bei is eager to return.


    This is his foundation. Back here, I feel comfortable all over. Arriving at the gate of the camp, Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang at the gate of the camp. Zhuge Liang looked around and didn''t find Zhao Yun. He looked serious and said, "Lord, there are rumors everywhere in Xinye that the Lord sold Zhao Yun for 100000 stone grain. So, what''s going on? "


    Zhuge Liang didn''t know the specific news for the time being. However, Zhuge Liang concluded that there must be something fishy about it. Liu Bei could not sell Zhao Yun.


    Liu Bei''s face turned black.


    Eyes, full of anger.


    Sure enough, Liu Xiu was treacherous and dug a hole.


    Zhao Yun followed Liu Xiu to the south, but Liu Xiu publicized it. The news will have a great impact on Liu Bei''s prestige. In the hearts of the people and soldiers in Xinye, Liu Bei loved the people like a son, respected the soldiers, and was a rare master. Liu Bei now sells Zhao Yun for food, which makes countless people and soldiers confused.


    Is this Liu Bei who used to be?


    When the soldiers on patrol saw Liu Bei standing at the gate of the camp, their eyes were strange.


    Seeing this, Liu Bei''s heart sank.


    The joy of arriving at the camp dissipated.


    Liu Bei took a deep breath, calmed himself down and said, "Kong Ming, let''s go back to camp."


    Zhuge Liang nodded. Seeing Liu Bei''s dignified face, he sighed in his heart. This time, he fell into Liu Xiu''s calculation again. I wanted to make an alliance with Liu Xiu, but it seems that I''ve got a big deal with the Chinese army.


    Zhuge Liang''s eyes fell on Liu Bei.Liu Bei said slowly: "during my stay in Xiangyang, I went to see Liu Biao first. Although Liu Biao said that he supported it, he said that it was not easy for Jingzhou and that there was also a shortage of food. Liu Biao said that there are only ten thousand stone grains. "


    "Ten thousand stone grain is too little for us. What can we do? Nothing can be done. "


    "At that time, Zilong happened to come to Xiangyang and brought the words of the military division to Xiangyang."


    "We had a conflict with Liu Xiu. At that time, I considered that it was not smooth to borrow food from Liu Xiu. At the beginning, I did not go to Liu Xiu, but went to Kuai and Cai families, hoping to get their support."


    "However, they all shut the door, and the CAI and Kuai families refused to have food."


    "I have no choice but to find Liu Xiu."


    "Zilong and I went to find Liu Xiu and first proposed to form an alliance with Liu Xiu. But Liu Xiu refused to form an alliance with us. He thought that it was meaningless to form an alliance with us. "


    Liu Bei sighed and said, "I can''t form an alliance. I can only go back and ask Liu Xiu to borrow food."


    "Liu Xiu''s reply is that we borrow grain, which is equivalent to borrowing grain but not returning it. When I was going to give up, Liu Xiu offered to give Zilong to Liu Xiu, who would give us 100000 stone grain for free. "


    "Zilong is my confidant. He is both civil and military. He is loyal and righteous. How can I agree?"


    "On the spot, I refused Liu Xiu''s proposal."


    Liu Bei continued: "Liu Xiu saw that I refused, and then offered a condition that he needed Zilong to help him train his cavalry. As long as he borrowed it for three months, he could give us 100000 stone grain for free. At that time, before I spoke, Zilong agreed first. "


    Speaking of this, Liu Bei said with emotion: "I didn''t expect that as soon as I returned to Xinye, Liu Xiu had already spread the news and slandered that he had sold the 100000 stone grain that Zilong had bought. Liu Xiu is too cunning and vicious. "


    There is a strong hatred in Liu Bei''s eyes.


    He didn''t expect that Liu Xiu''s methods were so vicious. It was only because he was dazed by grain.


    After hearing this, Zhuge Liang could not help sighing, and said: "one hundred thousand stone grain, in exchange for three months of general Zilong, Liu Xiu''s great hand. On the one hand, he used 100000 stone grain to alienate the relationship between the Lord and Zilong; on the other hand, he used this event to destroy the image of the Lord and affect the morale of the army and the people. It''s too vicious. "


    Liu Bei worried, said: "Kong Ming, the matter has come to this point, how to do?"


    Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly. After half a sound, his face regained a calm look and said, "in three months, general Zilong will come back. Then he will know that the Lord didn''t betray general Zilong. Therefore, the hearts of the people and the army need not be concerned. As the news subsides, it will soon disappear. "


    "The key lies in Zilong''s idea and the civil and military generals under the Lord."


    "First, summon the civil and military forces in the army, and make it clear that general Zilong''s efforts and risks brought about the 100000 stone grain, so as to arouse the common hatred of the enemy and stabilize the morale of the army."


    "Second, every ten days, the Lord himself wrote a letter to you county. The Lord relies on letters to contact General Zilong, so as to stabilize general Zilong''s heart and let him know that the Lord cares about him. "


    Zhuge Liang''s feather fan shook twice and said, "in this way, it will certainly eliminate the influence of Liu Xiu."


    Liu Bei smelled the speech and finally showed a brilliant smile on his face. Zhuge Liang solved his worries in a few words, which relieved Liu Bei.


    Zhang Fei praised: "a military adviser is a military adviser. I admire him."


    Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard under his jaw, showing admiration in his eyes. He praised: "Liu Xiu''s ghost trick is not worth mentioning in front of the military strategists."


    Zhuge Liang was overjoyed by their praise.


    With the support of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he can gain a firm foothold under Liu Bei. But Zhuge Liang''s heart is still worried, because he can''t predict what will happen during Zhao Yun''s three months in you county.

 Chapter 208

    After entering Changsha County, Liu Xiu, Zhao Yun and Huang Hu stopped at Linxiang County, the seat of Changsha County. Liu Xiu went to visit Han Xuan in person and gave a brief account of his experience in Jiangdong. Han Xuan was awed by and appreciated Liu Xiu, leaving him a big banquet.


    The next morning, Liu Xiu took Zhao Yun and Huang Hu to Youxian.


    Entering you County, Liu Xiusheng felt like a wanderer returning home.


    In principle, Xiangyang is where Liu Xiu lives. But now, Liu Xiu takes you County as his foundation, and you county is where he lives.


    The three rode to the county.


    When passing through the official road in a mountain forest, more than ten old men burst out on both sides of the forest. The head of the group was a big man with a mace in his hand. The fierce middle-aged man roared: "I opened this mountain and planted this tree. I want to pass by and buy some money."


    The words were catchy, staring at Liu Xiu''s three people with a thick smile.


    The middle-aged man waved his mace and said in a loud voice, "four horses stay, money stays, and then you can go away."


    Zhao Yun''s mouth was smiling, but he didn''t start.


    This is you county. It''s Liu Xiu''s territory. Just wait and see what happens.


    Liu Xiu''s face was black, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes. Under his administration, you county is thriving and developing. What Liu Xiu wants to show Zhao Yun is a booming You county.


    I didn''t expect that when I entered you County, I met a thief.


    What a wet blanket!


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Hu and said, "Hu Zi, take them all."


    "Good!"


    With a smile, Huang Hu turned over and dismounted. He took two golden hammers from another horse and rushed up directly. The yellow tiger was born big and big. If the horses carried the yellow tiger, they would have to carry two sledgehammers. Therefore, Huang Hu''s weapon is placed on another fighting horse alone.


    "Boy, you want to die."


    Seeing this, the mountain bandit with the mace rushed up with the weapon.


    The mountain bandits under his command attack one after another.


    "Cape hammer, kill!"


    The yellow tiger roared, and the golden hammer of the drum jar swung up. With a roaring sound, he smashed the mace.


    "Dang!"


    A huge sound reverberated in the mountains.


    In an instant, the leader of the mountain bandit vomited blood and the mace flew out. He fell to the ground, coughing up blood, and was seriously injured. This scene frightened the rest of the mountain thieves.


    Huang Hu was so excited that he kept waving the golden hammer in his hand.


    For a moment, all the mountain bandits, lying on the ground and groaning, suffered heavy losses.


    Liu Xiu looked down and said, "tiger, find some ropes, tie them up and take them back to you county."


    "No!"


    Huang Hu nodded and executed the order immediately.


    A quarter of an hour later, Huang Hu tied up all the people. The rope was tied to the horse carrying a drum jar and a gold hammer, and the man pulled the horse forward.


    Liu Xiu, Zhao Yun and Huang Hu continued their journey once again.


    The speed of driving slowed down.


    While walking, Zhao Yun said: "under the governance of the Lord, Xinye has long been abandoned, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. That''s the real paradise."


    Zhao Yun was very fond of Xinye. He had a very comfortable time in Xinye.


    There is also respect for Liu Bei in his eyes.


    Liu Xiu laughed, noncommittal way: "Zilong to Xuande Gong, very respect ah."


    Zhao Yun solemnly said: "although the Lord is a vagrant, he is always at home when dealing with people and things. As for being a man, the Lord is absolutely successful. "


    Liu xiudao: "Liu Bei''s success in life? Hehe, when it comes to 100000 stone grain, Liu Bei hesitated. In the end, he put the choice in your hands, let you take the initiative to Youxian. Is this way of life really successful? "


    Mention this matter, Zhao Yun heart, faint uncomfortable.


    One hundred thousand stone grain moved Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei hesitated, Zhao Yun''s heart, more or less a little pimple. As a matter of fact, Zhao Yun is also very clear that Liu Bei can not be unmoved by the 100000 stone grain in front of him. Liu Bei is moved. In fact, he can also refuse decisively. Zhao Yun will agree to come to Jiangdong for Liu Bei''s sake.


    Liu Bei''s hesitation made Zhao Yun feel uncomfortable.


    However, when Zhao Yunzhong heard Liu Xiu''s slander, he argued: "the Lord is considerate of his subordinates and is very considerate of the soldiers in the army. For the generals in the army, he is the clear Lord. For me, too. "


    Liu Xiu sneered twice and said, "in front of grain, he hesitated. Is this the Lord of Ming Dynasty?"


    In a word, Zhao Yun''s mouth twitched slightly.


    Zhao Yun snorted and once again argued, "you don''t have much contact with the Lord. You don''t understand him. He is not only a good monarch, but also a brother who talks about everything. "


    For Zhao Yun, Liu Bei is very considerate of him, just like a brother.With a smile in his mouth, Liu Xiu said, "you are valuable to Liu Bei. He is naturally concerned about you and treats you as a brother. Just like food, the value of food is greater between you and food. His choice is food, not you. So instead of treating you as a brother, you have enough value. "


    Zhao Yun''s mouth twitched and glanced at Liu Xiu, his eyes depressed.


    Why food every time!


    When he heard the word "grain", Zhao Yun felt very depressed.


    He took a deep breath, suppressed the depression in his heart, and once again said: "my Lord is not only a good brother, but also a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty."


    Somehow, Zhao Yun tried to explain.


    Always want to find a way to make Liu Xiu unable to fight back.


    "Loyal minister?"


    Liu Xiu sneers. Liu Bei is a loyal minister.


    Zhao Yun said: "why, isn''t it?"


    Liu Xiugen didn''t believe that Liu Bei was a loyal minister. He said: "Liu Bei is a great man in the world, and his ambition is no less than Cao Cao. Well, his mind is not so simple. "


    Zhao Yun said: "the emperor calls the Lord uncle Huang and recognizes him."


    Liu Xiu said: "in Xu county, Liu Bei was close to the emperor in the hope that Liu Bei would help eradicate Cao Cao. However, after Liu Bei signed the dress belt edict, he left immediately, so that Cao Cao was aware of it. If he is a loyal minister, why don''t he stay and fight against Cao Cao? "


    Zhao Yun said: "Cao thieves are powerful and hard to resist."


    Liu Xiu tut tut twice, said: "general Zilong, you trust Liu Bei too much."


    Zhao Yun refused and asked: "what kind of person does Master Xiu think he is?"


    Liu Xiu said: "first, Liu Bei is not a man."


    "You''re not a man." Zhao Yun rolled his eyes, and his eyes were even more disdainful. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu insulted Liu Bei like this. He thought Liu Xiu had excellent ability and literary talent, but now it seems that Liu Xiu is too narrow-minded to hate Liu Bei because of his jealousy.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "when Liu Bei was an official in Pingyuan County, he abandoned his wife and fled alone with Liu Guanzhang. When he lost Xuzhou, Liu Bei abandoned his wife and left his wife to Lu Bu. After he was chased by Cao Cao, Liu Bei abandoned his wife and turned to work for Yuan Shao. Along the way, is there less time for Liu Bei to throw away his wife for his own life? You say, "is he a man?"


    Zhao Yun''s mouth twitches. Zhao Yun knows these things, but he just ignores them. Say it all and affect Liu Bei''s image.


    Liu Xiu''s sharp eyes continued: "second, Liu Bei is not a good subordinate."


    Zhao Yun said: "reason!"


    In a heavy tone, Liu Xiu said: "Liu Bei once worked for Gongsun Zan, but later deviated from Gongsun Zan; Liu Bei once worked for Xuzhou taoqian, but led Xuzhou, and jiuzhanquechao; Liu Bei once worked for Cao Cao, resisted Yuan Shao, and rebelled against Cao Cao; Liu Bei worked for Yuan Shao, but fled midway and went south to Runan. Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao and took root in Xinye. Liu Bei kept his troops and generals and formed his own system. He did not listen to the dispatch of Jingzhou. Is such a person a good subordinate? "


    "The Lord Zhao did not explain," he said


    Liu Xiu said: "it''s not that there is no master, it''s because Liu Bei is not willing to go down. Every time he was loyal, he used others as stepping stones. Just as now, he uses his father to expand his army in Xinye. "


    Zhao Yun frowned, did not know how to refute, looked at Liu Xiu''s eyes, full of hostility.


    When Liu Xiu saw this, he suddenly found it boring. He didn''t want to argue any more. He waved his hand and said, "just don''t argue, lest you say I slander Liu Bei. You have been following Liu Bei for many years. You can understand a lot of things when you think about it. "


    Zhao Yun heard the speech, but did not speak.


    All the way to the county.

 Chapter 209

    You County, county.


    The return of Liu Xiu and his party is a big day to remember for you county. It was a test for Liu Xiu to go to Jiangdong to meet his relatives. Liu Xiu came back, and everything was back on the right track at last. The only disappointment for the people is that Liu Xiu failed to marry sun Shangxiang back.


    Zhao Yun was placed in the county government. After Liu Xiu returned, Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "in the cold winter season, is it suitable to attack Yuzhang county?" As for the time of sending troops, Liu Xiu hopes that it will be easier for the soldiers after the Spring Festival.


    Pang Tong then shook his head and said, "I have discussed with Deng Xian Wei, Han Sheng general and Kuai Xian Cheng about the time of sending troops. Although winter is difficult, it is not without benefits. Moreover, the situation forces us to send troops as soon as possible. "


    Liu xiudao: "why?"


    Pang Tong said: "Pang Tong''s eyes are sharp and sharp. He said with a straight face:" Lord, prepare for war. "


    Everyone''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu.


    The final decision is up to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu asked: "Shi Yuan, how are you preparing for the plan to attack Yuzhang county?"


    Pang Tong looked very happy. Knowing that Liu Xiu had adopted the suggestion of sending troops, he said hurriedly, "my Lord, you are ready." Then he took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve, handed it to Liu Xiu, and said, "my Lord, please see, this is our plan to attack Yuzhang county."


    A roll of bamboo slips was handed to Liu Xiu''s desk.


    Liu Xiu took it apart and read it carefully.


    After reading the whole plan, Liu Xiu made a careful calculation in his mind and said, "according to the plan, the army is divided into two routes." the plan itself, there is no big problem. "


    "But there is a problem. Chaisang county is very close to Yuzhang county. Once Yuzhang county is in crisis, the army of Chaisang camp can support Yuzhang county at any time. "


    "Zhou Yu led his troops into the battle field of Yuzhang county. Liu Xiu shook his head and said," it''s very unlikely, which means it''s also possible. What should Zhou Yu do once he gets in? Most importantly, Zhou Yu, as the governor of Jiangdong, was in charge of the army of Jiangdong. Yuzhang county is in danger. He can''t just sit by and ignore it. "


    Pang Tong, Huang Zhong and others were silent.


    According to the inference, Zhou Yu would attack Jiangxia county. But just as Liu Xiu thought, Yuzhang county was in trouble. As a governor of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu could not sit by and ignore it.


    If Zhou Yu does not intervene, everything will be easy to say. If Zhou Yu intervenes, the situation will be in trouble.


    Pang Tong said, "if so, adjust the plan."


    "How to adjust?" Liu Xiu asked.


    When we attacked Yuzhang County, we sent people to Jiangxia county to meet Huang Zu. In this war, you county and Jiangxia County joined forces. "


    "Liu Xiujiao shook his head with a smile. Zhou Yu is not a simple man. He is proficient in marching and arraying. He is not an easy man. When he went south to Yuzhang County, he would make arrangements to ensure the safety of Chaisang county. Huang Zu was unable to capture Chaisang and attack Zhou Yu, which meant that Liu Xiu was still dissatisfied with Pang Tong.


    Pang Tong laughed and said, "Lord, I know you want to say whether you can sweep the south in the shortest time. I am willing to issue a military order and personally preside over the second route army to ensure that it will be swept in the shortest time. "


    Liu Xiu frowned and fell silent.


    In Liu Xiu''s opinion, Pang Tong''s proposal is somewhat impulsive.


    Liu Xiu believed in Pang Tong''s ability, but when it came to marching, deduction was a key link. Complete deduction of the whole plan, to ensure that the plan is correct, in order to complete the implementation.

 Chapter 210

    Liu Xiu looked at the plan again and said, "the plan for this war should be adjusted a little."


    "How to adjust it?"


    Huang Zhong''s eyes were full of expectation.


    Liu Xiu said: "before the war, the focus was on Nanchang County, the seat of Yuzhang county. In other words, it was on the whole Yuzhang county. In order to reduce the risk, the focus of the war was shifted to the south, aiming at the counties to the south of Yuzhang county. "


    "The focus is not on the whole Yuzhang county. In this way," in a word, Pang Tong nodded and said, "I think the arrangement of the Lord is feasible."


    The change of the plan is good, especially the change of the strategic focus, which is acceptable to pangtong.


    Huang Zhong nodded and said, "I think it''s feasible for you to consider it. It is very difficult to swallow the whole Yuzhang County in one breath. Take the southern counties of Yuzhang county first. But Liu Xiu, who came down from Jun County, said, "yes


    "Thank you, Lord!"


    Pang Tong felt a trace of excitement in his eyes.


    Liu xiudao: "general Hansheng, Shiyuan went to Ancheng county. As a military strategist, he made plans. As the chief general, you take charge of the army and preside over the war in the south of Yuzhang county with Shiyuan. "


    "No!"


    Huang Zhong is also very excited.


    Pang Tong and Huang Zhong went to Ancheng County as a couple.


    Liu Xiu looked at Kuai Qi again and said, "Kuai county is the prime minister, and Ma Liang has always stayed in Chaling county to preside over government affairs. This is an opportunity for the general to be transferred from Moliang county to Mahan county


    "No!"


    Kuai Qi nodded and looked serious.


    Liu xiudao: "the north line, Deng Zhan and I go together."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan''s face is serious and his eyes are looking forward to it.


    Liu Xiu also ordered: "Kuai County Cheng, you county''s government affairs are entirely in your charge."


    Kuai Qi said, "don''t worry, my Lord. I will finish the task."


    After Liu Xiu made the arrangements, he said, "get ready and send out troops in the morning the day after tomorrow. In this battle, we must win half of Yuzhang County, or even win it completely if the opportunity is right. "


    "No!"


    All the people were excited when they got the order.


    Liu Xiu left his study and went back to Lu Su''s yard.


    In the courtyard, Lu Su saw Liu Xiu and said, "master Xiu has come back from Xiangyang with high spirits."


    Liu Xiu smiles and sits down.


    Lu Su said: "young master Xiu has gone back to you county. Is he going to use troops in Yuzhang county?"


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "brother Zijing has a good eye. Now, the strategy for Yuzhang county has been determined. Early the day after tomorrow, the soldiers divided into two groups to attack Yuzhang county. "


    Lu Su said: "divide the troops into two groups. Master Xiu is not afraid of being defeated by each one."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "since you dare to divide the army into two groups, you are naturally ready."


    Lu Su nodded and stopped talking.


    Liu Xiu asked, "brother Zijing is in you county. How can you get used to it?"


    Lu Su said: "not bad!"


    Liu Xiu nodded, and Lu Su said some daily things, then turned away. Today''s Lu Su, Liu Xiu can not tell Lu Su too many things, after all, Lu Su and Jiangdong are inextricably linked.


    Out of the yard, Liu Xiu went straight to Zhao Yun''s yard.


    Today, Zhao Yun is also a strong general under Liu Xiu. Since he borrowed someone from Liu Bei for the time being, Liu Xiu would not be polite. It''s a fool''s way to keep Zhao Yun.


    Two people sat down in the room, Liu xiudao: "Zilong, the day after tomorrow morning, I will attack Yuzhang county."


    Zhao Yun eyebrows a pick, way: "repair childe want to say what?"


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "can''t Zilong guess? Early the day after tomorrow, Zilong will go out with me. "


    Zhao Yun said, "young master Xiu, I''m not your subordinate."


    The smile on Liu Xiu''s face converged, and he said impolitely: "100000 stone grain, I borrowed you from Liu Bei. My grain can''t be wasted. Does general Zilong think that if you come here and do nothing, Liu Bei can get 100000 stone grain? "


    Zhao Yun has sharp eyes and a trace of anger on his face.


    But when he thought of 100000 stone grain, Zhao Yun''s anger dissipated in an instant.


    This time, Liu Bei owes Liu Xiu.


    "I''ll pay for my Lord."


    In Zhao Yun''s heart, there is such an idea. He looked at Liu Xiu and said, "I''ve agreed to go to war. If xiugongzi has nothing else to do, I''ll have a rest. "


    Liu xiudao: "OK, I''ll send someone to inform you the day after tomorrow morning."


    Immediately, Liu Xiu turned and left.


    Liu Xiu didn''t pay attention to Zhao Yun''s attitude at all. Zhao Yun was temporarily replaced by means. In the next three months, Liu Xiu believes that he will slowly change Zhao Yun.Three months is Liu Xiu''s buffer time.


    Back in the yard, here comes dunai. Now, Deng AI has risen a lot. Because he has been practicing martial arts, his temperament has changed.


    He was young but steady.


    "Young master, I heard that you are going to attack Yuzhang county?"


    Deng AI made a pot of tea for Liu Xiu and stood aside with a look of joy in his eyes.


    Liu xiudao: "who did you listen to?"


    Deng AI laughed and said, "master told me."


    Liu Xiu Oh voice, there is no below, and buried his head to deal with things in hand. During the period when he left Youxian County, Kuai Qi prepared a copy for Liu Xiu to consult.


    Deng Ai saw this, anxious, that calm temperament, disappeared.


    Liu xiudao: "Xiao AI, is there anything else?"


    "Yes, sir, there is one more thing." Deng AI''s words. Today''s Deng AI, stuttering problems have been basically solved, rarely stuttering.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes flashed a trace of banter, and said: "small things are up to you. If you don''t have any big things, go out."


    As soon as Deng AI heard this, he got up in a hurry and immediately said, "young master, I want to join you in the battle against Yuzhang county. The master said that he can''t make the decision. You have to agree with him. "


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he immediately began to laugh.


    This boy, after all, did not hide. After a little stimulation, he revealed what he thought.


    When Deng Ai saw this, he knew that he had been cheated by Liu Xiu.


    Deng Aishan laughed and said, "young master, I really want to take part in the war. Master said, if you want to grow up, you need to fight. Moreover, to participate in this war, I not only need to improve my martial arts, but also need to learn how to use my young master''s military skills. Without actual combat, I will always be on paper. Please allow me. "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu said, "there are no eyes on the battlefield. Do you really want to go?"


    Deng AI straightened his chest and said, "don''t worry, sir. I have no problem. I''m already a man. What''s more, three or two of my swordsmen are not rivals. "


    Liu Xiuben didn''t want to stop him. It''s a good thing that Dun Aiken learned. He said, "well, you can follow me."


    "Thank you very much, young master."


    Deng AI''s eyes, with excitement and joy.

 Chapter 211

    On November 18, snowflakes were flying in the sky.


    This year''s winter is very urgent. Although it''s just entering winter, it''s already very cold.


    You County camp, military academy field.


    Liu Xiu was in armor, wearing a silver helmet and a green sword around his waist. On his solemn face, he had the same calmness and sophistication as his age. The sharp eyes swept over the soldiers and said: "Jiangdong has repeatedly violated the border, humiliated our people and robbed my family. If we don''t destroy the sun family of Jiangdong, it''s not enough to comfort the dead soldiers; if we don''t destroy the sun family of Jiangdong, it''s not enough to comfort the injured people. Today, I pledge to fight against Jiangdong. "


    "Crusade against Jiangdong!"


    Under the platform, Huang Zhong raised his sword and yelled.


    "Crusade against Jiangdong!"


    "Crusade against Jiangdong!"


    One voice after another reverberates and hovers in the school field for a long time.


    It was a long time before the voice of the soldier stopped.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were sharp, and once again said, "the sacrifice to heaven begins!"


    At the command, the soldiers carried the prepared fruits and meat on the high platform. The person in charge of the sacrifice came up and after a series of rituals, he said in a high voice: "incense!"


    Liu Xiu took the Changxiang from the soldiers, saluted respectfully, and then faced all the soldiers with a loud voice: "heaven bless me, destroy Jiangdong."


    "Heaven bless me and destroy Jiangdong."


    Deng Zhan''s voice sounded below.


    Deng AI also stood in the ranks, he and the soldiers stood together, feeling the powerful momentum, but also shouting: "heaven bless me, destroy Jiangdong."


    "Heaven bless me and destroy Jiangdong."


    "Heaven bless me and destroy Jiangdong."


    The soldiers cried out, and the continuous voice resounded in the sky.


    "Let''s go!"


    Liu Xiu pulled out his sword with a clang, and gave a categorical order.


    Huang Zhong is


    Yuzhang County, Nanchang County.


    Prefect''s mansion!


    Sun Ben and Tai Shici sat opposite each other, their faces slightly dignified.


    The news that Liu Xiu sent troops shocked Yuzhang county.


    No one expected that Liu Xiuhui would send troops in the cold winter, but this is the fact.


    Sun Ben said: "Ziyi, Liu Xiubing attacked in two ways. His intention was to occupy the southern and northern counties of Yuzhang county at the same time. Liu Xiu''s ambition is great, and he is even more aggressive. What do you think of this war? "


    Taishici was not impatient and said, "I don''t think Liu Xiu should be afraid. According to the information sent back, Liu Xiu''s two armies, each with only 10000 people. In my opinion, as long as the counties can not stick to it, with the current cold winter weather, Liu Xiu will not be able to last long. In the end, Liu Xiu was defeated and retreated. "


    Sun Ben nodded and said, "it''s freezing. Now the weather is bad for Liu Xiu."


    Taishici said: "in addition to the defensive strategy, I think we should be soldiers in two ways, taking the front line to prevent the resistance of Jingzhou soldiers. Our goal is very simple, is to adopt a defensive strategy. The time, the place and the people are all in our hands. It''s very difficult for Liu Xiu to win. In this battle, Liu Xiu will lose! "


    Sun Ben said: "if you choose to divide the troops, the only arrangement is that I lead the army and you lead the army. General Ziyi, which army do you want to resist? "


    Without hesitation, Tai Shici said, "I want to fight Liu Xiu!"


    In Liu Xiu''s hands, Tai Shici was defeated again and again. He lost several times in succession in Liu Xiu''s hands. This battle, the battlefield is Yuzhang County, this is taishici''s home. He wants to defeat Liu Xiu in his own territory, a shame before snow.


    Sun Ben said: "since you choose to resist Liu Xiu, it''s up to you to lead your troops. I led my troops south to resist Huang Zhong. "


    Taishici said, "is there enough grain in Yuzhang county?"


    Sun Ben said: "don''t worry, no problem."


    When Tai Shici heard the speech, he was completely relieved. It''s very cold. It''s very inconvenient to transport grain from Wu county to Yuzhang county. There is enough grain in Yuzhang County, so there will be no problem if this war is protracted.


    Sun Ben said, "let''s go, let''s go."


    Two people look at each other, each out of the government, each went to the barracks to deploy troops, began operations.


    ¡­¡­


    Poyang Lake, a water army camp.


    Zhou Yu also received the news that Liu Xiu had sent troops.


    Cheng Pu sat in the camp with a serious face and said slowly, "governor of Dadu, Liu Xiubing attacked Yuzhang County in two ways. Do we need to do something? Send troops to support Yuzhang county. "


    Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "if sun Ben and Tai Shici are enough to solve Liu Xiu''s two armies, we will lead our troops to support them. Isn''t that just adding to the cake?"


    Cheng Pu said: "Tai Shici was defeated by Liu Xiu one after another. I''m afraid it''s very difficult for him to defeat Liu Xiu."


    Zhou Yu chuckled twice and said, "it''s a good thing that Tai Shici has been defeated and fought with high morale. It doesn''t matter if he fails. It''s enough to win once and then kill Liu Xiu. Now, let''s wait and see what happens. If the situation in Yuzhang county is unfavorable, we can support it no later. The most important thing is that it''s the middle of November, and we''re going to attack Jiangxia in the spring of next year, and the time is also very tight. If you can not send troops, that is the most perfect resultCheng Pu nodded and stopped talking about Yuzhang county.


    Zhou Yu added: "in a word, we should continue to pay attention to the situation in Yuzhang Prefecture and pay back at any time."


    "No!"


    Hearing the speech, Cheng Pu turned and stepped down.


    ¡­¡­


    Xiajun County, located in the north of Changsha County, is named for its water. Liu Xiu led his troops to the north. When he arrived at Xiajun County, he took a day''s rest in Xiajun county. Then he left Xiajun County in the East and went straight to AI county.


    AI county is located in the west of Yuzhang County, bordering Xiajun county.


    Liu Xiu led 10000 troops and drove straight into AI county. Without any resistance, he arrived at the county seat of AI county.


    On the city tower, banners are waving and troops are arrayed.


    Taishici stood on the tower and looked at the soldiers of Jingzhou who had been arrayed outside the city. His eyes showed a cool color.


    Finally, I met Liu Xiu again.


    After he left Nanchang County, he led 5000 troops to AI county. With the 5000 troops stationed in AI County, taishici mobilized no less than 10000. Moreover, AI county is a big city, which has a great geographical advantage. It is not easy for Liu Xiu to capture AI County easily.


    Liu xiuce immediately stopped outside the city.


    Looking at the city upstairs, Liu Xiu saw taishici, and taishici also saw Liu Xiu.


    When two people meet, they are very jealous.


    With a smile in his eyes, Liu Xiu said in a loud voice: "general Taishi, the place where we first met was Jiuxu mountain in the east of Ancheng county. At that time, you were ambushed and defeated at the expense of your troops. Not only sun Shangxiang was captured, but also the barracks were burned. "


    "The second time we met, you thought you county was empty, and led the soldiers to drive straight into you county. In the end, because I had expected it, I laid a lot of ambush and let you fall into encirclement. You run away, but you lose all your strength. "


    Liu xiulang said: "today is our third battle. This time, I''m afraid you will lose the city again. In my opinion, it''s better to lead the soldiers to withdraw from AI County than to surrender in the end. It can save strength and face. Keep fighting, and you will lose your troops and lose your general again


    The harsh words made Tai Shici''s teeth itch.


    He pressed the wall with both hands, leaned forward slightly, looked at Liu Xiu, and roared, "Liu Xiu, you can break the city. I will stand on the tower and wait for you to break the city. "


    Liu Xiu said: "it''s as easy as a palm to break AI county. General Taishi, you are a general with talent and great general demeanor. Following Sun Quan is a bright pearl. When Kaesong surrenders, I will certainly use you, and you will shine

 Chapter 212

    Tai Shici sneered: "self righteous."


    Liu xiudao: "general Taishi, under the command of Sun Quan, you are only a general guarding Yuzhang County, not even the Taishou. You will submit to me, and I promise that you will be the governor within one year. "


    Anyway, Liu Xiu was in a panic and didn''t blink his eyes.


    Taishici looked scornful and said, "Liu Xiu, don''t talk too much nonsense. If you have the ability, attack the city. I will be waiting for you on the top of the city. "


    "Don''t worry, don''t worry, fight hand to hand when you meet. It''s so boring. Have some fun first."


    As soon as Liu Xiu waved, Huang Hu stepped forward with a golden hammer in both hands. Standing at the foot of the tower, he pointed to Tai Shici with a golden hammer in a drum jar and roared, "Tai Shici, Huang Hu of Jingzhou is here. How dare you fight?"


    Liu Xiu retreated and watched quietly.


    Huang Hu added: "grandfather Huang left his words here today. He wanted to beat Yuzhang county and kick taishici."


    "Tai Shici, how dare you fight?"


    Huang Hu held his head high and his eyes were rebellious. Before he came forward to challenge, Liu Xiu had ordered Huang Hu to tell him what to do. Everything has been arranged.


    Taishici was standing on the tower, but his generals could not help it.


    One by one, Huang Hu''s eyes were full of hostility.


    Who can bear it!


    Huang Hu was humiliated in public, and the generals couldn''t help killing him.


    But Tai Shici looked calm and didn''t rush to order to fight. He carefully looked at Liu Xiu''s army outside the city. Under Liu Xiu''s command, there were ten thousand troops, and the array was very strict. If you can find the other side''s flaws, Tsz doesn''t mind attacking. However, the soldiers under Liu Xiu''s command were in a tight array, and the defense was tight, so there was no need to fight.


    From the beginning, Tsz chose to defend.


    Seeing that Tai Shici didn''t respond, Huang Hu roared: "Tai Shici, thanks to you being a great officer, you have learned all kinds of martial arts, and you don''t even have the courage to fight. It''s a shame. Damn it, I can''t help it. "


    "Bang Dang! Bang


    Two gold hammers from the drum jar hit the ground and the ground vibrated.


    He raised his head and looked up at the city. He lifted his robe, untied his belt, and in front of countless soldiers in AI County, he took out the big bird and aimed at Ai county to pee.


    "Wow!"


    After a bath of urine, Huang Hu swung the sledgehammer and roared again: "Tai Shici, grandson GUI, dare to fight."


    On the tower, his face turned red.


    This is the first time that taishici has encountered such humiliation since he joined the army for more than ten years. Huang Hu urinates in front of him, deceiving others too much.


    Ai Jing, the county magistrate, was impatient. After seeing this, he broke out completely and said in a loud voice: "general, AI county can''t bear this humiliation, Ai Jing can''t bear it. If the general does not fight, AI county has its own generals to fight. "


    Although Tai Shici was the chief general, Ai Jing, as a county magistrate, was also in charge of the war and had certain rights.


    Huang Hu''s action made Ai Jing angry.


    "County magistrate, Bian Dao, please fight."


    Bian Dao is over 1.8 meters tall. He has a strong physique, and his beard is like a steel needle, which gives people a very strong feeling. He was not a general under Tai Shici, but a subordinate of Ai Jing.


    Ai Jing waved and said, "yes!"


    "No!"


    Bian Dao''s eyes were happy and he turned and went down the castle.


    Taishici opened his mouth to persuade him, but he could see the look of Ai Jing and the officials in AI county. In the end, he didn''t stop him.


    "Boom!"


    When the gate opened, Bian Dao rushed out with a hammer in both hands. Bian Dao rushed out on his horse. He said it was late and it was fast. In a twinkling of an eye, he rushed to Huang Hu''s body.


    "Those who pee die."


    Bian Dao''s legs clamped the horse''s belly, and his right hand swung the hammer to smash Huang Hu.


    "Hoo


    The hammer is full of prestige.


    Huang Hu''s simple and honest face showed an excited look. He held two gold hammers in his hand and dodged quickly. After avoiding Bian Dao''s hammer, the beating drum urn gold hammer in his hand swept rapidly.


    "Chaka!"


    The golden hammer swept the horse''s hooves. Immediately, the horse fell, and Bian Dao also fell from the horse.


    "Death


    The golden hammer of the drum jar swung up and suddenly fell down.


    This hammer speed is extremely fast, fall of the moment, Bian Dao a donkey roll to avoid.


    Boom!


    The gold hammer of the drum jar fell to the ground and the ground trembled.


    Huang Hu grinned. He stopped for a moment. Bian Dao quickly got up and rushed to Huang Hu with a hammer. They both use hammers. They are powerful generals. With the continuous impact of iron hammer and gold hammer, the anti shock force also increases. Huang Hu and Bian Dao fought for more than 30 moves, but they never won.


    When Tess saw this scene, he was relieved.


    Ai Jing looks proud. Bian Dao is his subordinate. He knows Bian Dao''s martial arts. Bian Dao was born with divine power, and his two hammers crossed the battlefield with few rivals.Bian Dao and Huang Hu fight, in the twinkling of an eye already passed 50 moves.


    Huang Hu thought that after 50 moves, he was almost done. At once, the golden hammers in his hands were wielded separately. This move shows a flaw in the chest. Bian Dao seized the opportunity and grinned. The hammer came out of his hand and ran to Huang Hu''s chest.


    Huang Hu cold hum, a touch of color from the eyes flash. The gold hammer of the drum jar suddenly changed its move and smashed down. The speed of this hammer is extremely fast, and it hits Huang Hu''s hammer.


    "Dang!"


    When two sledgehammers hit each other, sparks splashed.


    The powerful force burst out, Bian Dao''s face changed greatly. He only felt a force coming from his hand. The mouth of the tiger cracked, the blood overflowed, and the hammer fell to the ground.


    Bian Dao''s body, as if struck by lightning, appeared a trace of dullness.


    Huang Hu hit it well, and the golden hammer of his right hand was not affected at all. He swung it again, and hit Bian Dao''s left chest with lightning speed.


    "Chaka!"


    A hammer down, Bian left chest depression, rib fracture.


    Bian Dao fell to the ground and widened his eyes. In the deep of his eyes, he showed an incredible look. The blow just now not only depressed his chest, but also shattered his heart. However, Bian Dao didn''t understand that the strength of both sides had been equal. How could the other side suddenly be so violent? The surging power could not be resisted.


    How is that possible?


    Bian Dao with doubts, head a crooked, no breath.


    Liu Xiu saw this scene, the corner of his mouth raised a smile. At the beginning, Huang Hu didn''t show all his strength. This is what Liu Xiu ordered. Let Huang Hu restrain his strength.


    He looked at Tai Shici and roared, "Tai Shici, I sent a small soldier to challenge you. Your general died like this. Is there no one under you? They are all embroidered pillows that are not good at using. "


    Tai Shici''s face was livid, and he sighed that Bian Dao was not successful.


    Although Bian jundao will not affect his heart after his death.


    He was also observing Huang Hu and found that the martial arts of Huang Hu and Bian Dao were not much different. It''s a pity that Bian Dao died.


    Up to now, Tai Shici is still unwilling to take the initiative to fight.


    AI Jingshen said: "who dares to fight?"


    "My Lord, please fight."


    The person who spoke was Zhong Liyi, also a subordinate of Ai Jing. He has a good relationship with Bian Dao. Seeing Bian Dao killed, he wants to avenge Bian Dao.


    "Sure!"


    Ai Jing nodded and agreed. Zhong Liyi turned and walked down the castle.


    "Creak!"


    The gate opened and Zhong Liyi rushed out.


    Huang Hu saw that someone was coming again, and his face showed a smile. He was happy in his heart and thought, "third brother, I''m playing pig and eating tiger. I have to take my time to attract more people to fight. That''s true."


    Huang Hu is very excited about fighting in the battlefield.


    Seeing that Zhong Liyi rushed out, Huang Hu roared: "who is coming, name it." As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Zhong Liyi to reply, Huang Hu added: "it''s nothing, nobody. If you die, you don''t have to sign up."


    In a word, he was so angry that his anger rose.


    Zhong Liyi stops his horse, stares at Huang Hu and says, "rat, give me your name."


    Huang Hu said: "nobody, don''t deserve to know my name."


    Zhong Liyi was angry and couldn''t suppress his anger. He roared: "look for death." He shook his gun and drove his horse to Huang Hu.

 Chapter 213

    Deng AI stood beside Liu Xiu on horseback and said, "young master, brother Hu is so powerful that he killed one easily. Now there''s a second one to die. Tai Shici is going to lose his troops. "


    Liu xiudao: "Huang Hu is a natural strong general, suitable for fighting."


    Deng AI''s eyes envied him and said, "if I could be as invincible as tiger brother, it would be good."


    Liu Xiu said: "no matter how fierce the tiger is, it''s only a ten thousand enemy. Do you want to be like that? "


    When Deng AI understood Liu Xiu''s words, Gu Ling said strangely: "I want to be the enemy of thousands of people, and I want to March and set up the array to command thousands of troops. The real invincible is to fight at once, and to devise strategies under the horse. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "you are greedy. Through the ages, there are too few such people. "


    Deng AI said: "look, young master, it''s time to fight again."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on the two men fighting outside the city.


    "Kill


    The gun in Zhong Liyi''s hand is like a boa constrictor turning over. The tip of the gun shakes, forming a gun awn in mid air, killing people. He was condescending to attack, especially the gun in his hand was more than ten meters long, which occupied a great advantage.


    Huang Hu was not afraid at all. The golden hammer of the drum jar danced like a seal. Just listen to the sound of Ding Ding Ding, the point of the gun can only hit the hammer face, can''t break through the defense of the drum urn gold hammer.


    Two people fight more than ten moves, Huang Hu a move, to avoid the attack of Zhong Liyi.


    "Fall down!"


    Huang Hu roared and grinned. His left hammer blocked Zhong Li''s spear and his right hammer hit the horse''s head.


    Boom!


    The horse hissed and fell to the ground.


    Huang Hu grinned. He used ten moves to kill Zhong Liyi''s horse. All this, Zhong Liyi should not be aware of anything.


    At the moment when Zhong Liyi fell to the ground, Huang Hu took advantage of the victory to pursue and beat the drum and urn with a golden hammer.


    Zhong Liyi quickly tumbles, avoids the hammer, quickly stands up, Zhong Liyi spears.


    "Ding!"


    Sharp point of the gun, hit the golden hammer, a splash of sparks.


    The golden hammer of the drum jar did not move, but the barrel of the big gun collapsed and bent in an instant. Zhong Li''s petition, immediately withdraw.


    Two people you come and I go, more than 30 moves, in a flash.


    Huang Hu leisurely walk in general, without any change, Zhong Liyi shows fatigue. His physical strength in constant consumption, but each other''s strength, as if never exhausted, let Zhong Liyi heart all gave birth to a fear.


    "Cape hammer, kill!"


    The yellow tiger roared and waved the golden hammer with his right hand. He crossed an arc in the air and danced like a cape.


    Zhong Liyi''s gun sweeps across and beats on the golden hammer of the drum jar.


    According to the previous experience, when shooting with one shot, Zhong Liyi can move around with the help of rebound. But at the moment when he retreated with the help of strength, Huang Hu said again: "meteor hammer, kill!"


    With a low roar, the gold hammer of the left drum jar suddenly attacked. The hammer was as fast as lightning. A golden light flashed in the air, and the huge golden hammer came down to Zhong Liyi''s head.


    "No, run away!"


    When Zhong Liyi noticed it, his eyes were anxious and he retreated quickly.


    After all, it''s a step slower.


    "Boo!"


    The hammer hit Zhong Liyi''s head, the skull broke and blood spilled all over the ground. Zhong Liyi''s massive body fell to the ground.


    Blood splashed on Huang Hu''s face, and he didn''t care.


    Looking at the tower, Huang Hu roared: "Tai Shici, send some shrimp soldiers and crab generals to fight. It''s too weak, too weak. A soldier like you still wants to resist. He is delusional. "


    With the bloody face, the yellow tiger is like a demon at the moment.


    His words stimulated his anger.


    Liu Xiu took a look at Huang Hu, and the smile in his eyes was even stronger.


    On the tower, Ai Jing''s face was gray. The two generals under his command, Zhong Liyi and Bian Dao, have all died. This time, they lost a lot of money. It can be said that they have a bad start.


    Tai Shici''s face was dignified, staring at Huang Hu, showing a trace of concern.


    This yellow tiger has some abilities.


    "General, please fight."


    At this time, Liang Wei, a powerful general under the command of taishici, saluted with his fist.


    Liang Wei is in his early thirties. He carries a knife with iron back on his back. There are rings on the back of the knife. As long as the back of the knife shakes, it will tinkle. When fighting with the enemy, the iron ring will affect the opponent''s attention.


    Tai Shici said: "Liang Wei, Huang Hu has a long breath. He has not shown any weakness until now, which proves that he is not weak. You have to be careful when you go down. "


    Bian Dao and Zhong Liyi were killed, and Tai Shici couldn''t sit still. He couldn''t sit back and ignore them.


    Liang Wei took a deep breath and said, "don''t worry, general. If you end up with an iron backed sword, you will cut the yellow tiger."


    "Go


    Tess nodded and gave an order.Liu Xiu waited quietly. The two sides met in the first battle. Huang Hu killed two generals of taishici in succession. For taishici, it would be a huge blow.


    After a short time, Liang Wei walked out of the gate.


    Liang Wei fully absorbed the lessons of Bian Dao and Zhong Liyi and did not ride a horse. The horse was too big to escape under the golden hammer of the yellow tiger. When a hammer goes down, the horse is killed. When a man falls down from the horse, he is immediately killed by the yellow tiger. On the contrary, he is easy to get into trouble.


    Therefore, Liang Wei chose to give up the war horse.


    With the help of flexible body shape, first consume the power of the yellow tiger, and then wait for the opportunity to kill the yellow tiger.


    In the twinkling of an eye, they stood face to face.


    Huang Hu did not move, Liang Wei did not take the initiative to attack.


    With a smile in his mouth, Huang Hu said, "are you waiting for me to do it?" With a smile, he strode towards Liang Wei with a golden hammer in a drum jar.


    Liang Wei didn''t take the initiative to meet him. Instead, he stepped forward to avoid fighting with Huang Hu.


    "As timid as a mouse."


    Huang Hu shakes his head and looks at Liang Wei with a look of disdain.


    He didn''t even have the courage to face up. Liang Wei was too far away. Huang Hu''s heart, also remember Liu Xiu''s words: "no more than three things, to the third general, you don''t have to worry, a hammer to kill."


    In Huang Hu''s heart, he had a plan to kill.


    Huang Hu''s eyes are calm. He walks to Liang Wei with a hammer. It happened that Liang Wei kept dodging. After several times in a row, because Huang Hu didn''t wave the golden hammer, he was hard to find a flaw.


    "Kill


    Liang Wei roared, iron back knife swung, in one form to split Huashan wave. The iron ring on the back of the knife jingles when it is split in the air, disturbing the mind. The sharp blade is like a drill in the sky.


    A knife shows Liang Wei''s skill level.


    "Taishan hammer, kill!"


    Huang Hu roared, his right hand beat the drum, and the urn hammered down in the air.


    "Dang!"


    The iron back knife and the gold hammer of the drum jar collide in an instant.


    The iron back knife was hit and flew out, and the drum jar and the gold hammer fell like bamboo. The huge golden hammer fell straight down. Liang Wei can''t avoid it.


    "Boom!"


    The hammer hit Liang Wei''s chest, and Liang Wei''s chest shriveled.


    The man fell to the ground and died.


    One hit!


    With a single blow, Huang Hu killed Liang Wei.


    The power of this hammer has been fully exerted by Huang Hu. Taishan hammer is the most powerful hammer. Liang Wei has no life at all. Huang huchui killed Liang Wei and turned to look up at the city. He roared, "Tai Shici, how dare you fight?"


    Taishici clenched his fist with the sound of fighting.


    Liang Wei''s Sabre skills are excellent, but when Liang Wei fights with Huang Hu, he is hammered face to face. It can be seen that Huang Hu''s martial arts have been reduced to ten skills, and he can crush everything with his strength. Bian Dao and Zhong Liyi''s martial arts are far inferior to Liang Wei''s, but Liang Wei was killed by a hammer. It is obvious that Huang Hu disguised himself as a pig and ate a tiger before, hiding his power.


    Taishici is anxious. Liu Xiu has such a tiger general around him, which is worrying.


    Liu Xiu had a strong smile in his eyes and said in a loud voice: "Tai Shici, Huang Hu challenges, do you dare to face it?"


    Provocative words, but also stimulate the taishici.

 Chapter 214

    Do you want to fight or not?


    This difficult problem was put in front of him.


    Bian Dao, Zhong Liyi and Liang Wei were killed in succession, and the morale on the tower was low. At this time, the tortoise did not shrink out, but also lost face and morale.


    It''s a bit difficult for Tsz to make his choice.


    Ai Jing stares at Huang Hu with angry eyes. His own martial arts are ordinary and difficult to win. He can only rely on Tai Shici. He arched his hand and said, "general, Bian Dao, Zhong Liyi and Liang Wei have been killed. The situation is extremely critical. Please kill Huang Hu."


    "Ask the general to fight!"


    Other officials in AI County spoke one after another.


    For a time, Tai Shici was even more difficult, because the magistrate of AI county was also pressing him.


    Taishici was not indecisive. After a moment''s silence, he said, "the yellow tiger is very good at martial arts. It would have been difficult for him to win. Once defeated, the morale of the army will be damaged. It is not appropriate to fight in this battle. "


    Ai Jing was disappointed when he heard the speech.


    Taishici roared, "Liu Xiu, I''m waiting for you to attack the city."


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he knew that taishici would not come out.


    Huang Hu is not reconciled, roar a way: "Tai Shi Ci, can dare a war?" However, Tai Shici didn''t pay any attention to Huang Hu, and let Huang Hu clamor under the tower.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu said, "Huang Hu, come back."


    Huang Hu reluctantly returned, looked up at Tai Shici, and despised him even more.


    Instead of attacking the city, Liu Xiu withdrew his troops and set up camp ten li back.


    The army camped in a big tent.


    Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan, Huang Hu, Zhao Yun and Deng AI gathered in the camp.


    Deng Zhan said: "Lord, taishici is firmly in AI county. If he doesn''t fight, we can only attack the city. I suggest that we attack AI County tomorrow morning. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "don''t worry. It''s the best way to attack AI county. We can''t attack AI County until the end. We are different from Huang Zhong and Pang Tong. They should seize the time, but we don''t have to worry about the lack of time. We can fight slowly. Moreover, our troops are only 10000. The result of a strong attack on AI county is to kill 1000 enemies and lose 800. This is not the right way. "


    Deng Zhan sighed: "what is the master going to do?"


    Liu Xiu was not in a hurry and said, "first find out the situation of AI County, and then consider it."


    After hearing the speech, Deng Zhan knew that he would not attack the city.


    Liu Xiugen didn''t allow Deng Zhan to choose, so he immediately ordered: "Deng Zhan, immediately send a reprimand to the surrounding area to search for the information of AI county and the information of AI county magistrate."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan was ordered to make arrangements immediately.


    Zhao Yun sat down and snorted: "is it the intention of xiugongzi to ask Deng Zhan to collect information to check the county magistrate of AI County, and then make a move to alienate Taishi Ci and the county magistrate of AI county? Just from today''s war situation to analyze, taishici even died three generals, but still suppress anger not to fight, not impulsive generation. It''s not easy for AI county to have internal strife. "


    Liu Xiu said, "Zilong will wait and see!"


    Zhao Yun said: "well, I''ll wait and see how you break the city."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said nothing.


    That night, Chihou brought back information about AI county and its magistrate Ai Jing.


    AI county is a big county in Yuzhang County, with its own troops of nearly 5000 people. Ai Jing, the county magistrate of AI County, is upright, jealous of evil and deeply loved by the people. But Ai Jing is impulsive, irascible and more like a warrior.


    Impulse is the devil!


    Liu Xiu''s mouth brought up a smile.


    Since Ai Jing was impulsive, it made him impulsive and destroyed the strategy of taishici''s garrison in AI county.


    Immediately, Liu Xiu called Deng Zhan and ordered Deng Zhan to send someone to carry out the next plan. After Deng Zhan wrote it down, he sent people to execute the order meticulously.


    ¡­¡­


    County, county government.


    Ai Jing went back to the county government, angry. Ai Jing felt too weak in the first battle of the castle. He lost three generals in a row, but Tai Shici was indifferent.


    He simply did not care, and let taishici operate.


    Two days later, Liu Xiu constantly sent people outside the city to fight, but Tai Shici was indifferent and motionless. There was no more war between the two sides. Ai Jing, who was sitting in the county government, was more and more agitated and felt that the battle was too weak.


    When Jiangdong met Jingzhou, he had the upper hand everywhere. Once upon a time, he was beaten by Jingzhou, and was blocked in front of his home. He didn''t dare to go out of the city to fight?


    Huang Hu is really powerful, but Huang Hu has only one person. Can he stop thousands of troops?


    This is exactly what Ai Jing is dissatisfied with.


    On this day, county officials and county captains came to the County Yamen to see them.


    When they looked at Ai Jing, the county magistrate took the lead and said, "my Lord, Tai Shici has been stationed in AI County for several days. Now, Huang Hu is out of town every day, and he takes off his pants to pee from time to time. It''s really disgusting. "


    Ai Jing said, "if Tai Shici doesn''t fight, I have no choice."


    "If you don''t fight, you will not win in the end," he said. There''s no pie in the sky. Victory can''t be delivered to the door. "The county captain echoed: "my Lord, if you want to win, you must find another way out."


    Ai Jing stared at them and said, "what do you two want to say?" County Cheng and county Wei sing a song, two people''s behavior, let Ai Jing quite confused.


    They were subordinates of Ai Jing. Ai Jing immediately noticed something unusual.


    "If you are wise, you know you can''t hide it from me."


    The county captain said with a smile.


    Ai Jing was impatient, slapped him on the desk and said, "what do you think, let''s be frank."


    "I collected information about the war between taishici and Liu Xiu. As Liu Xiu said, taishici failed every time. In his humble position, Tai Shici was afraid of being beaten by Liu Xiu and did not dare to fight. Because every time Tai Shici took the initiative to fight, he was ambushed, or the rear camp was burned, or his back road was cut off. "


    At this point, the county official clenched his fist and said, "it''s impossible for taishici to fight against Liu Xiu. I think that if we want to defeat Liu Xiu, we have to fight ourselves. "


    "Fight on your own?"


    Ai Jing''s eyes, showing a dignified look, said: "you mean, put aside Tai Shici alone."


    The county captain said, "yes, that''s the only way."


    Ai Jing shook his head and said, "Tai Shici is in AI county. He is a person sent by sun Taishou and has more power. It''s impossible for Stacey to get around


    The county magistrate said, "it''s possible. It depends on whether the adults want to make contributions."


    Ai Jing said: "who doesn''t want to make contributions? To be frank, to be human. "


    The county magistrate laughed and said, "there are too many ways to get rid of taishici. The county magistrate just needs to invite taishici to the county government, then take the opportunity to control taishici, and then lead the army to attack Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu has come a long way, and the two sides have the same strength. Even if we meet Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu will suffer in the end. After all, he can''t replenish his forces, and we can recruit soldiers to replenish our forces in AI county. "


    "You mean to attack Liu Xiu by force?"


    After hearing this, Ai Jing began to think about the feasibility of this proposal.


    "My Lord, even if we offend Tai Shici, if we defeat Liu Xiu, sun Taishou will favor you. Instead of pursuing responsibility, he will reward you. On the contrary, if taishici''s current strategy is adopted, long-term defense will be lost. If it fails, adults will be implicated. "


    Ai Jing nodded slightly, but still worried: "if the battle fails, the consequences are also very serious."


    The county official said, "this is a battlefield. It''s in danger. However, as long as the adults play steadily, they will lose both sides at most, and it is impossible to fail. Especially when Liu Xiu goes deep into the enemy''s territory, it is Liu Xiu who should be worried. "


    Ai Jing listened and weighed the interests.


    If we stick to AI County, we can''t see the hope of victory. On the contrary, we may be defeated.


    It''s a good thing to fight, even if you lose both sides.


    In addition, Ai Jing''s heart, but also hope to fight. With a big sleeve flick, he said, "county captain, you should arrange soldiers in the county government to prepare for action. Mr. Xian Cheng, please go and invite Tai Shici to the county government. "


    "No!"


    The county magistrate and the county captain both had smiles on their faces.


    They also agreed that long-term defense must be lost, and they must take the initiative to attack. After a salute to Ai Jing, they left in a hurry, busy with their own affairs.

 Chapter 215

    County Hall.


    With his armor and sword hanging from his waist, Tai Shici strode into the hall, lifted his robe, and sat down with a golden sword. He looked at Ai Jing and asked, "magistrate, please come in the future. What''s the matter?"


    Ai Jing said with a smile: "to ask the general to come to the county government is to ask the general about his next combat strategy. Jingzhou soldiers into Yuzhang County, has been killed at the gate of AI county. No matter what, we must drive Jingzhou soldiers out of AI county and Yuzhang county. "


    After a pause, Ai Jing said: "in fact, according to the general''s garrison strategy, I don''t know that I can''t win until the year of monkey. Even the county believes that long-term defense will lose, if it goes on like this, it will lose. The county has a good strategy in mind, so the county is eager to know how general Taishi plans to defeat the enemy? "


    Taishici said calmly: "it''s winter now. Liu Xiu is stationed outside. It''s freezing. It''s very difficult for his soldiers to stick to it for a long time. The longer the delay, the greater the pressure on Liu Xiu. As long as we stick to it in the cold winter, Liu Xiu can only retreat without fighting. "


    Ai Jing looked disappointed and sighed: "it''s said that general Taishi is afraid of being beaten by Liu Xiu. He''s afraid of being hit again. Is that true? "


    There was a slight change in his face and a dignified look in his eyes.


    Ai Jing''s words are heartbreaking.


    As a matter of fact, Tai Shici did have a heart knot when he lost to Liu Xiu in succession. However, Tai Shici was not afraid or discouraged. He was defeated many times and always planned to defeat Liu Xiuyi.


    The so-called fear of falling into the trap, the so-called fear of being beaten by Liu Xiu, is impossible.


    Tai Shici adjusted his attitude and said: "Ai county magistrate, I am not afraid of Liu Xiu or being trapped. The reason why they didn''t fight is that the current situation in AI county is not suitable for fighting. In a short period of time, defending is the best policy. "


    "Ha..."


    Ai Jing''s eyes narrowed and said with a sneer: "when Liu Xiu got to the door of his house, he even spoke ill. Can the general sit still? I''m afraid I''m afraid I''m afraid I''m afraid I''m afraid I''m afraid I''m afraid I''m afraid I''m afraid I''m afraid I''m afraid I''m afraid I''m afraid I''m afraid I''m afraid I''m afraid


    Tai Shici frowned and said, "the two armies are at war. Why can''t the general sit still?"


    At this time, Tai Shici noticed something, because Ai Jing''s tone changed suddenly. When he looked at Ai Jing, there was a trace of caution in his eyes.


    Ai Jing said: "general Taishi, if you don''t fight, I''ll fight. In this battle, you give me the command of the army, and I will lead the troops stationed in AI county and the local soldiers of AI county to fight. Just a Liu Xiu, relying on one or two strong generals under his command, is self righteous. But in the eyes of the county, Liu Xiu is arrogant and self destructive. "


    Taishici said solemnly, "it was the decision of marquis Wu and Marquis sun to be in charge of marching and fighting. It''s impossible for you to ask ben to hand over the command of the army! "


    AI jingso stood up and said, "I will be outside. I will not accept your life. It''s not unusual for general Taishi to hand over his command in this extraordinary period. Please cooperate with the general, otherwise don''t blame the county for being impolite. "


    Tai Shici was calm and said, "I would like to know how the magistrate of AI is going to be rude."


    "Somebody


    Ai Jing waved his hand and gave an order.


    A rush of footsteps sounded, AI county magistrate with a team of soldiers appeared at the gate. More than ten soldiers arrived in the hall with their hands, and surrounded taishici.


    Ai Jing zhengse way: "Taishi general does not cooperate, this county can only use strong.". At that time, if the soldiers hurt the general carelessly, there will be no danger. "


    Tai Shici scolded: "Ai Jing, what crime should you commit in the following


    Ai Jing held his head high and said, "in the face of Liu Xiu, you can''t shrink; in the face of Liu Xiu, you can''t fight. Hum, don''t be a general like you. "


    "Ai county has more than ten thousand troops, and Liu Xiu has more than ten thousand troops. If the two armies fight each other, even if it''s a war of attrition, it''s enough to make Liu Xiu lose his fighting capacity. Liu Xiu has only 10000 troops, and it is difficult to supply them after his troops are weakened, but AI county can supply them quickly. "


    "However, the advantage of AI county was ignored by general Taishi."


    Ai Jing said: "it''s the following offence to take you down today. After defeating Liu Xiu, the county will plead with sun himself. Thanks to the defeat of Liu Xiu, the county believes that this is not a big problem. "


    Taishici still did not turn his face, said: "Ai Jing, Liu Xiu is not so good to win."


    Ai Jing said, "I only know if I have tried."


    At this point, Ai Jing had no way out and had to go down. In Ai Jing''s view, he led the army to fight, not greedy, went straight to Liu Xiu''s barracks, attacked Liu Xiu, would not fall into the trap, and constantly weakened Liu Xiu''s power.


    "Ai Jing, I will advise you finally. Please stop the action immediately. As long as you look back, what happened today will be nothing. "


    Ai Jing shook his head and said obstinately, "the county has made up its mind! But general Taishi, you have only one choice to cooperate with the county''s troops. Or the county will take you. "


    "Sonorous!"He stood up and said, "I don''t want to kill you."


    Unable to persuade, taishici had to choose to do it.


    Ai Jing said: "up, take down Tai Shici."


    "Kill


    The county captain waved and ordered all the soldiers under his command to rush to taishici immediately. A group of murderous, swarming.


    Tess''s face was cold and his sword blocked him.


    "Ho


    The blade of the sword cuts through the air and cuts the clothes of a soldier who rushes up. Tai Shici bullied his body to enter and split it out with one hand. The soldier fell to the ground after being recruited, but he was not fatally injured.


    "Ho


    All of a sudden, the blade of the knife passed on his back.


    The armor broke, leaving a bloodstain on his back. The soldiers of the county government killed Tai Shici crazily without any mercy. After taishici was stabbed, his anger surged up and his murderous spirit also grew up.


    "Kill


    The sword edge turned in the air, and a streamer passed in the air.


    Poof!


    The sharp point of the Sword Pierced a soldier''s chest, splashing blood, and the soldier was killed on the spot.


    Tsz will not keep it any more. He will do his best.


    Bursts of screams, continue to ring out, the county government soldiers fell down again and again, heavy casualties.


    The county Captain stood on one side of the command, secretly worried. He knew that taishici was good at martial arts, but he didn''t expect that taishici was so brave and didn''t lose out in the face of so many soldiers.


    "Get out of the way, the county will take taishici in person!"


    Ai Jing was also a warrior. Seeing that the soldiers could not attack for a long time, he rushed up with his sword.


    "Tai Shici, I''ll meet you."


    Ai Jing''s eyes are sharp. After he rushes up, the sword in his hand flashes cold sword light in the air. Take advantage of taishici just turned the gap, a sword stabbed out.


    "Poof!"


    The sharp point of the sword pierced into the shoulder of Tarshis.


    Tai Shici snorted, but he didn''t make a sound. He roared: "it''s too deceiving! Ai Jing, you should die. "


    Boundless anger came out of his chest.


    "Since you don''t want to live, since you want to rebel, you will be successful." Taishici''s sword was like a dragon. When the sword passed, the soldiers fell down quickly.


    "Hum!"


    The point of the sword pierced into Ai Jing''s chest.


    This sword is as fast as lightning, as swift as thunder, which makes people dizzying.


    "Poof


    The tip of the sword breaks Ai Jing''s skin, and a sword penetrates Ai Jing''s heart.


    Ai Jing glared and snorted. He clenched the sword in his hand and wanted to fight back, but his body suddenly hurt. The pain deep into the bone marrow made him unable to lift half of his strength, and the boundless darkness surged up in his brain.


    "I, I, I''m not willing!"


    Ai Jing screamed, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.


    Tai Shici''s sword was drawn out, Ai Jing fell to the ground, and his eyes had lost their look.


    "The magistrate has been killed. Run away, run away."


    Seeing this, the county magistrate roared and turned to run outside the county government. The county officials and the soldiers of the county government were also flustered and retreated one after another. The whole county government is in a mess and people are in a panic.


    County Hall, a moment later empty down.


    "Hoo! Hoo


    Taishici did not pursue, but stood in the same place and breathed. He looked at Ai Jing''s body, clenched his fist, and a trace of regret appeared in his eyes.


    Ai Jing was killed!


    Trouble, this time.


    Tess clenched his fist with a solemn look in his eyes. But it''s no use regretting. Tai Shici quickly took out the county magistrate''s seal from Ai Jing and left the county government to go to the military camp.


    Ai Jing died, he had to transfer troops to take over AI County soldiers under ai jing to avoid unrest.

 Chapter 216

    East of the city, in the wine shop.


    AI county is facing a war, and the situation in the city is quite tense. Many people like to come to the wine shop, shout a pot of wine, sit in the wine shop and listen to the recent news from people.


    "Did you hear that? The magistrate has been killed


    "How can it be? How can AI county magistrate be killed? You''re joking."


    "That is, the magistrate of AI County loves the people like a son, which is the pride of AI county. He has no injustice or hatred with others. How can he be killed. If anyone kills AI county magistrate, I will never give up. "


    "The news is true. Someone saw the county magistrate rush out of the county office and yell that the county magistrate was killed. Then, Tai Shici came out with blood all over his body. People in the county government said that AI county magistrate planned to send troops, but Tai Shici was afraid of Liu Xiu and did not want to go to war. After the conflict, Tai Shici killed the magistrate


    "Tai Shici is also a good general. How can he kill the magistrate?"


    "I heard that taishici really killed the magistrate."


    ¡­¡­


    A group of people talked about it, and soon a good person went to the county government to confirm it. After confirmation, it was Tai Shici who killed Ai Jing, and the news immediately spread.


    The whole AI county is spreading the news that Ai Jing was killed.


    The more the news spread, the more the flood, AI county''s situation suddenly, is already the wind and rain.


    Xian Cheng and Xian Wei went back to the garrison camp of AI County army. They sat down in the camp with a look of shock on their faces. The magistrate looked at the magistrate and said, "what shall we do if the magistrate is killed?"


    The county magistrate said: "the county magistrate can''t die in vain. If we don''t do it, we will lead the army to kill taishici."


    "In this way, things will get worse," he said


    The county magistrate clenched his fist and said, "if we don''t fight, Tai Shici will lead his troops to take over the barracks. What will you and I do then? When the county magistrate was killed, we were alone. We had to take Tai Shici first, and then put the responsibility on Tai Shici. In this way, we can shirk our responsibility even if they send someone to check. Otherwise, he will control the army and we will die. "


    The county magistrate''s eyes showed a struggling look.


    Send troops to attack taishici!


    It''s a big event, and it''s also an internal strife. Once it''s done, it''s hard to go back.


    the county captain urged: "time is pressing, don''t hesitate. If you are willing to be caught and killed by Tsz, I have no choice. You think, Tai Shici killed the county magistrate, to find a reason to calm the public anger. And the two of us are the best scapegoats. As long as taishici says that we''ve got the county magistrate to do it, can we survive? "


    Hearing the speech, the county magistrate pursed his lips, and his eyes gradually became cold.


    "Transfer the troops and take the taishici."


    The magistrate nodded and agreed with the magistrate. The two men got up immediately, and then ordered the soldiers to beat the drum to gather the soldiers.


    It wasn''t long before thousands of soldiers in the army gathered.


    The county Captain stood in front of the soldiers and said in a loud voice: "sons, the county magistrate has been killed. How unjust he died."


    The barracks were in chaos.


    The county magistrate stopped for a moment, then suppressed the noisy scene and continued: "this morning, the county magistrate invited Tai Shici to the county government to discuss the war. The magistrate plans to attack Liu Xiu, but Tai Shici refuses. Tai Shici was afraid of Liu Xiu, but the county magistrate was not. Tai Shici did not dare to fight, but the county magistrate dared to fight against Liu Xiu. However, Tai Shici became angry and pulled out his sword to kill the magistrate. Do you think the magistrate was wronged when he died? "


    "Wronged!"


    The county magistrate stood below, shouting. But in his eyes, there was a trace of helplessness. Step on this step, there is no turning back.


    "Wrong! Wrong


    The soldiers in the army roared one after another, echoing the words of the county captain.


    The hostility of the barracks to Tai Shici was aroused.


    The soldiers are familiar with Ai Jing. Although Ai Jing has a short temper, he is really a good official, who is dedicated to the common people. Ai Jing has a high prestige among the soldiers. Now I heard that Ai Jing had been killed by Tai Shici, and I was angry.


    "When a county magistrate is killed, he has to take revenge. Kill Tai Shici and avenge the county magistrate. "


    The county captain roared, and his eyes were shining. If he wants to protect himself, he can only kill Tai Shici and calm down the situation.


    "Kill Tai Shici and avenge the county magistrate!"


    "Kill Tai Shici and avenge the county magistrate!"


    ¡­¡­


    In the barracks, soldiers roared one after another. The intention of all the soldiers to kill, and the feeling that all the soldiers dislike Tai Shici, have been mobilized.


    "Let''s go!"


    The county captain roared and gave the order directly.


    Thousands of soldiers in the army rushed out of the barracks and headed for the barracks where the soldiers under taishici were stationed.


    At this time, in the west gate.


    Taishici''s barracks, taishici covered with blood returned, immediately called the generals of the army.


    stood in the big ledger, and the general looked around his generals. He said in a simple way: "Ai Jing Ben Ben will go to the county office to discuss things this morning, but he intends to control the forenoon and then dispatch the troops out of town. Ben would not agree. Ai Jing sent soldiers to encircle and kill. After a fight, Ai Jing was killed. "When the generals heard the words, they looked surprised, but no one spoke.


    The local soldiers in AICI county may continue to die. Now, the garrison in AI county must be controlled immediately. Jiang tianzhang, mobilize 3000 soldiers and follow me to AI County barracks. "


    "No!"


    Jiang tianzhang gave his fist and turned to leave the tent.


    About a cup of tea, Jiang tianzhang came back, he said: "general, three thousand soldiers are in position."


    Taishici said: "let''s go"


    with an order, taishici led him out of the tent first, followed by Jiang tianzhang and his generals. Taishici led his troops out of the barracks and led the soldiers on their way quickly.


    The two armies in the city are facing each other.


    When the distance between the two sides is only two miles, they all find the whereabouts of the other side.


    The county captain was nervous. He looked at the soldiers under his command, but he roared: "my sons, Tai Shici is leading the soldiers to kill us. He''s really cruel. He wants to kill us without doing anything. Kill, kill Tai Shici, and avenge the magistrate. "


    The news that taishici led the soldiers to kill the magistrate came out, which confirmed the news that taishici killed the magistrate.


    The soldiers in the army are excited.


    The local soldiers in AI county are in high spirits and want to avenge Ai Jing immediately.


    Taishici also learned that the local soldiers in AI county were killed, and his face was more dignified. He had thought about the possibility of mutiny, but didn''t expect to come so soon.


    Taishici no longer hesitated, ordered: "full speed forward, ready to meet." At this point, he knew that he had to be ready to fight and not let the chaos spread.


    When the two armies are facing each other, they are ready to kill each other.


    Soon, we''ll meet.


    Before taishici had time to persuade, the local soldiers in AI County killed them, just like a mad cow. Taishici was forced to fight, and his 1000 soldiers quickly attacked.


    Both sides fight in the center of the city, but when Tai Shici rushes, his face becomes dignified.


    The result of internal strife can only be to weaken one''s own strength.


    At this point, he had no choice but to lead the soldiers under his command to fight. He wanted to solve the local soldiers in AI County in the shortest time and calm down the situation.


    "Kill Tess, kill this lunatic."


    "Avenge the county magistrate, kill him!"


    On the broad street, the light of the knife flickered, and the cries of killing came one after another. The two sides were careful to kill each other. When the two sides fight, they don''t pay attention to the part of the informants who leave quietly around.

 Chapter 217

    Outside the city, the barracks.


    Deng Zhanzheng plays chess with Deng AI. Deng Zhan didn''t play go at all, but he was quite proficient in chess, which was easy to operate and easy to use. He put on the chessboard and was very happy with Deng AI.


    "Master, this game of chess, no more repentance. If you always repent, you will lose your character. "


    Deng AI curled his mouth and was dissatisfied with Deng Zhan''s frequent remorse.


    Deng Zhan snorted and said, "I''m not good enough to be a teacher. I regret a move. It doesn''t matter. Besides, if my lord doesn''t send troops to attack the city, he will have nothing to do. If you don''t play chess with me, what else can you do? "


    "I can still read," Deng said


    Deng Zhan glared at Deng AI, picked up the pieces, moved the position, and then continued: "reading, you know reading. You are a bookworm every day. Stop talking nonsense and play chess


    Deng AI suddenly stopped and said, "master, how''s your plan going?"


    "I don''t know the specific situation. There is no latest news for the moment," Deng said For the soldiers sent to AI County, Deng Zhan does not know the specific information.


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, the voice of a soldier sounded at the gate of the camp.


    "County captain Deng, your honor, please!"


    As the voice of the soldier fell, Deng Zhanmao stood up and quickly rushed out of the camp regardless of his expectations. Deng AI followed him and quickly went to the big account bank of the Chinese army.


    In the big tent, Liu xiugao sat on the throne with serious eyes.


    His eyes swept over Deng Zhan, Huang Hu, Zhao Yun, Deng AI and others, and he said in a deep voice: "I just got the news that there is smoke burning in the west of AI county. Smoke was burning in the city, which meant that the estrangement plan had been successful. Whether Ai Jing controls Tai Shici or Tai Shici takes Ai Jing, the strategy has been successful. Send troops to attack AI county. "


    Liu Xiu''s estrangement plan is to estrange Ai Jing and Tai Shici.


    Set the Bureau, took advantage of Ai Jing''s impetuous temper, prompted ai jing to take the initiative to fight. Ai Jing wants to go to war, so he must find Tai Shici. There is a conflict between the two sides. After the misunderstanding, Liu Xiu has a chance to take advantage of it.


    Ai Jing imprisons or kills Tai Shici, or targets Tai Shici. The people Liu Xiu arranges in the city immediately spread the news that Ai Jing and Tai Shici are incompatible. When the soldiers under the command of taishici got the news, they could not sit still. They would surely seek justice for taishici.


    Similarly, taishici controlled or killed Ai Jing, or aimed at Ai Jing, Liu Xiu''s people would also rumor that taishici started. Ai Jing has a high prestige in the army and among the people. When Tai Shici attacks Ai Jing, the people and soldiers will revolt even if they are incited.


    As long as Ai Jing is moved, he will step into the Bureau unless the two sides reconcile.


    However, Ai Jing finally entered Liu Xiu''s trap.


    Deng Zhan looked excited and said: "Lord, I''ll give you an order immediately."


    Immediately, Deng Zhan turned and stepped down.


    "Dong! Dong! Dong


    In the barracks, a powerful battle drum was soon heard, and the sound went straight to the sky. When the soldiers heard this, they quickly assembled and lined up in the barracks.


    Liu Xiushen, wearing armor and holding a green sword, ordered: "let''s go!"


    The soldiers in the army rushed out immediately.


    The yellow tiger was wearing armor and an iron helmet. He was fully armed. He took the lead and rushed to the front with a golden hammer in his hands.


    The army went out to fight in a mighty way, directly to the west gate of AI county.


    Liu Xiuqi on the horse, as the Chinese army, rushed to the direction of the county without delay. Zhao Yun followed Liu Xiu with serious eyes. Up to now, he doesn''t know Liu Xiu''s specific plan, but depending on the situation, Liu Xiu has a chance to break the city.


    The army arrived outside the city and immediately began to attack it.


    On the tower, the soldiers in the garrison were flustered and quickly sounded the war drum. However, taishici led 3000 soldiers to fight, and all the local soldiers in AI county were transferred away. The two sides were fighting in the city and had no time to support.


    The defending soldiers kept firing bows and arrows in an attempt to stop the attack of Jingzhou soldiers. Unfortunately, the lack of defense, although caused some casualties, but can not stop Liu Xiu''s army forward.


    After a short time, Liu Xiu''s soldiers rushed to the city building and began to fight hard.


    "Creak!"


    The heavy gate of the city opened with a bang.


    After entering the city, the soldiers who rushed up to the tower went down and opened the gate to welcome the army into the city.


    "The city is broken. Kill it."


    Seeing the city gate open, Huang Hu grinned and rushed in first in the dense rain of arrows with a golden hammer. Liu Xiu''s soldiers also quickly entered the city and occupied Ximen as a stronghold for the first time.


    The army poured in and the west gate fell.


    Zhao Yun followed him into the city and asked, "master Xiu, why didn''t you see Tai Shici?"


    Liu Xiu said, "because Tai Shici is very busy!"


    When Zhao Yun heard this, Deng Zhan came to Liu Xiu''s side and reported: "Lord, according to the report of the soldiers lurking in the city, taishici and AI county''s army are fighting in the center of the city." As soon as Deng Zhan entered the city, the latent soldiers came to report the latest news."Kill immediately, and defeat the army of Tarshis at one stroke."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were sharp and he gave the order directly.


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan got the order and gave the order.


    The army that entered Ximen turned around and ran to the center of the city.


    Huang Hu got the news and rushed to the front immediately. His goal is very simple, to take tisci. After running for about a quarter of an hour, Huang Hu''s army met Tai Shici''s soldiers.


    When taishici heard the sound of war drums coming from Ximen, he saw the smoke in the city and knew that he had been hit.


    Liu Xiu planned to kill Ai Jing this time.


    Liu Xiu seized the gap between him and the soldiers in AI county and took the opportunity to attack the city. There were only a few hundred soldiers stationed on the tower, which could not be resisted by Liu Xiu''s strong attack.


    Knowing Liu Xiu''s plan, Tai Shici didn''t dare to stay any longer. He quickly killed the county magistrate and the county magistrate. After defeating the local soldiers in AI County, he turned around and killed them. He wanted to rush to the city tower to save the situation.


    After all, however, it was a step too late.


    Liu Xiu has entered the city!


    AI county was conquered by Liu Xiu.


    When taishici saw the yellow tiger coming in and out with a drum jar, he was angry. He roared: "yellow tiger, take your life." With a big gun shaking in his hand, Tai Shici rushes to Huang Hu.


    Kill Huang Hu and get rid of Liu Xiu''s arm.


    Taishici spear sprint, Jiang tianzhang and his soldiers, also launched a charge.


    The two armies fought each other in a flash.


    Huang Hu grinned and showed his big white teeth. When he saw the drum beating, he rushed up to him with a smile.


    "Cape hammer, kill!"


    Huang Hu roared. When he was only two feet away from taishici, he stood on the ground with his left foot in a lunge and his right foot on the side. He drew a curve and his weight moved down.


    The gold hammer of the drum jar of the left hand is horizontal in front of the chest, protecting the neutral gear in front of the chest. The golden hammer of the right hand drum jar crossed an arc in the air, with a whistling sound, and hit taishici.


    The momentum of one hammer is huge and shocking.


    His big gun was shaking, just like a python turning over, and the barrel of the gun suddenly fell down.


    "Dang!"


    The weapon struck and made a loud noise.


    The strength of the anti shock, let taishici hold the gun''s hands, are a burst of numbness.


    "What a powerful force


    He was shocked in his heart, but his hand kept on. The big gun passed on the golden hammer of the drum jar, and the tip of the gun moved forward like a poisonous snake coming out of the hole and stabbing at the brow of the yellow tiger.


    Huang Hu''s right hammer goes up, pulls out a shot from Tai Shici, and then his left hammer swings out.


    "Hoo


    As the wind roared, the golden hammer of the drum jar swept to the chest of Tai Shici.


    Tai Shici quickly retreated. He stared at Huang Hu and gasped. Just now, he felt extremely dangerous when he fought with Huang Hu for a short time, because Huang Hu''s strength was too strong, and he was also very flexible and difficult to deal with.


    Huang Hu''s two hammers crossed his chest and said with a grin: "Tai Shici, you will surely lose this battle. Look at the soldiers under your command. They are tired. They can''t stop them. "


    A steady stream of Jingzhou soldiers poured in. Taishici''s soldiers had just gone through a bloody battle, but now they were not strong enough to compete with Jingzhou soldiers.


    Both physical strength and number of people are far from enough.


    Tai Shici swept his eyes and his heart sank.


    At that moment, the yellow tiger moved. He raised the golden hammer in his hand and roared: "meteor hammer, kill!"


    The gold hammer was quick and quick, compared with the great force of the Cape hammer. Meteor hammer this type of dexterous and rapid, suddenly, has reached the body of Tai Shici.

 Chapter 218

    "Back! Go back


    Seeing this, Tai Shici immediately withdrew. He looked at him with yellow eyes. This young man with strong physique and simple look is not as stupid as he seems, but rather good at hiding himself.


    Huang Hu''s meteor hammer failed in one blow. He immediately swung the hammer to pursue again.


    Three steps in a row to catch up, after all, a step slow, failed to win taishici.


    The golden hammer of Huang Hu''s right hand, which was a drum jar, swept across and smashed on the chest of a Jiangdong soldier. In a flash, Jiangdong soldiers vomited blood, body flew out, fell to the ground and died.


    Blood stains on the golden hammer of the drum jar, which makes the golden hammer more murderous.


    "Huang Hu, don''t be arrogant. Jiang tianzhang is here to die! "


    Jiang tianzhang holds a big knife with a sharp edge. Seeing that Tai Shici was defeated, he rushed over and roared, "general, we will work together to kill Huang Hu."


    "Good!"


    As soon as his gun shook, he rushed to Huang Hu.


    Two men, a gun, a knife, back and forth.


    Huang Hu grinned, disdaining to say: "the advantage of the drum urn hammer is that it is not afraid of siege."


    "Meteor hammer, kill!"


    Holding the golden hammer of the drum jar in both hands, he abandoned Jiang tianzhang behind him and rushed straight to taishici. The golden hammer in the drum jar is like a meteor. It is very fast and is constantly waving in the air.


    The tip of tisci''s gun vibrated, and he made a swift attack.


    The two played fast and kept on fighting.


    Jiang tianzhang holds a big knife, the blade turns in the air, aiming at the yellow tiger, and the man quickly rushes to the back of the yellow tiger.


    "Kill


    The big knife fell in the air and split Huashan Mountain with great momentum.


    "Dragon and snake


    When Tai Shici saw this, he roared. The big gun shakes, as if the dragon and snake are circling, and the spear point is transformed into many spear flowers in the air, approaching Huang Hu''s chest.


    At the moment, Huang Hu''s chest and back have been pinched.


    "Cape hammer!"


    Huang Hu''s eyes were calm, and the golden hammer of his right hand fell down.


    A hammer hit on the shaft of the tisci gun.


    This hit hit hit the shaft of tisci''s gun. The powerful force broke out, and the shaft of the gun was directly shot flying out. In the blink of an eye, Huang Hu''s Cape hammer fell down, his steps moved, and suddenly turned around.


    "Mount Tai hammer!"


    The gold hammer of the drum jar of the left hand is swung in the right direction.


    In the air, there was a blast.


    The golden hammer of the drum jar left a shadow in the air when Jiang tianzhang''s sword was six inches from the top of Huang Hu''s head. The drum jar and the gold hammer hit Jiang tianzhang''s waist.


    "Boom!"


    The power of the golden hammer is pouring down like a torrent.


    With a scream, Jiang tianzhang''s right body completely sank in and was smashed out. People in the air, ferocious face, has seven orifices bleeding.


    Huang Hu''s Taishan hammer took back, and his face showed a happy look. He roared: "Tai Shici, take your life."


    With the golden hammer waving, Huang Hu pounced on Tai Shici again.


    "Tianzhang!"


    Taishici saw Jiang tianzhang killed by hammer, his eyes were splitting, and his chest was burning with anger.


    "Yellow tiger, you should be damned, damned!"


    From Pan Jun, Deng Shao and Jiang Biao who followed him in Jiuxu mountain at the beginning to Liang Wei and Jiang tianzhang who are now. These people are not only outstanding in martial arts, but also able to lead the army and fight. They are both civil and military. However, after meeting Liu Xiu, his men were completely lost.


    All this was caused by Liu Xiu and his subordinates.


    Kill Huang Hu and avenge Jiang tianzhang!


    Kill Huang Hu and let Liu Xiu taste the pain of losing his beloved general.


    A big gun stabbed out in the air, the sharp point of the gun, only to see a little cold flicker, it has reached Huang Hu''s body. Yellow tiger beat drum urn gold hammer, horizontal in front of the chest, blocked the blow.


    He said: "I want to kill you. The third brother said, "my martial arts are just fierce, and the number of people who can defeat me is not more than one hand. You are not one of them."


    "Yellow tiger, die!"


    Tai Shici was red eyed, and his gun was fierce.


    Every move is a killing move. It''s a deadly attack.


    Huang Hu''s eyes became calmer and calmer. He waved the golden hammer in his hand, but he kept it tight. After fighting with Tai Shici for more than ten moves, his eyes began to smile. He had a long breath, and he didn''t feel tired. However, his breath began to weaken when he was furious.


    "Cape hammer, kill!"


    Huang Hu seized the opportunity, and the golden hammer began to attack like a torrential rain.


    Two golden hammers, flying up and down in the air.


    Within one foot of the surroundings, no soldier dares to approach. Any soldier who comes near will be killed or injured as long as he is hit by the golden hammer. There was a look of horror in his eyes. The gun in his hand repeatedly resisted, but in the face of the fierce attack like the wild rainstorm of Huang Hu, he was also a little tired and did not dare to resist."Taishan hammer, kill!"


    The golden hammer in Huang Hu''s hand once again changed its move, just like the Taishan Mountain pressing down the top, carrying the incomparable power down.


    Tai Shici couldn''t avoid it. He held the gun in both hands and bravely met it.


    "Bang!"


    The huge golden hammer of the drum jar fell on the barrel of the gun, making a dull sound. With the impact of force, the golden hammer of the drum jar fell like a bolt of fire, and the barrel of the big gun was bent.


    "No, the barrel can''t bear it."


    The big gun in his hand is made of selected white wax rod, with a bearing capacity of at least 300 Jin.


    But when the drum jar hammered down, the barrel of the gun couldn''t bear it.


    "Chaka!"


    The barrel of the gun broke, and tisci stepped back.


    "Bang!"


    The golden hammer of the drum jar continued to move forward and hit the chest of Tarshis.


    "Ah


    With a scream, Tai Shici fell to the ground. He lay on the ground, his eyes were dim, and a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth. His face was very pale.


    Fortunately, the barrel of the gun counteracted most of the force and fell on his chest, which had weakened a lot, otherwise he would die. Rao is so. The fallen taishici has lost his fighting power.


    "Come on, take Tai Shici!"


    The yellow tiger roared, with a strong smile in his eyes.


    I''ll be rewarded when I get back.


    Huang Hu, holding a golden hammer in a drum jar, roared: "taishici is killed, but those who come down will not be killed. Those who do not surrender will be killed without mercy. " With these words, Huang Hu, like a fierce tiger going down the mountain, entered the Jiangdong army. Where the golden hammer of the drum jar passed, the corpses were everywhere and the corpses were flying.


    At the same time, Jingzhou soldiers also made a fierce attack.


    The soldiers under the command of taishici were defeated and unable to resist, and their morale was at the bottom.


    "Those who do not surrender, kill them!"


    Huang Hu is like a murderer. The golden hammer in his hand has killed one Jiangdong soldier after another, and his whole body is covered with blood. That appearance, which has a trace of simple and honest, is clearly a killing God.


    "I surrender, I surrender, don''t kill me."


    "I surrender, no longer resist."


    On the street in the center of the city, one by one Jiangdong soldiers threw away their weapons and knelt down to surrender.


    Where Huang Hu passed, the soldiers surrendered one after another.


    "Tick! Tick


    The blood dripping from the golden hammer of the drum jar was on the ground, which made many Jiangdong soldiers tremble. One by one, they bowed their heads and did not dare to face up to Huang Hu for fear that they would be killed by Huang Hu hammer.


    Huang Hu snorted and stopped pursuing and killing. His soldiers rushed forward and quickly controlled the situation.


    An hour later, the situation in AI county was controlled by Liu Xiu.


    County government, Liu Xiu sits at the top.


    County Yamen empty, county magistrate Ai Jing''s body is still lying on the ground. Liu ordered the soldiers to restrain Ai Jing''s body, and then said, "Deng Zhan, send someone to post a notice in the city. Jingzhou soldiers are not invading, but avenging Ai Jing. When the army enters, it will not hurt the people or rob them of their wealth. "


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan nodded and agreed.


    Huang Hu came to Liu Xiushen and said with a smile, "third brother, I have captured Tai Shici alive. This time, I''m not very good. Will you give me an official title? "


    There was a strong desire in his eyes.


    It is his idea to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make contributions.


    Liu Xiu snorted and said, "when I asked you to pursue Tai Shici, what did I say? I asked you to be lenient. Now Tai Shici has been knocked over by the hammer, and his life and death are still unknown when he lies in houya. "


    Huang Hu, with a smile, rubbed his hands and said, "don''t worry, Tai Shici is too lucky to die."


    Liu Xiu rolled his eyes and was completely speechless. He waved his hand and said, "I''ve got your credit. Well, you''ll be a powerful general for the time being, and you''ll still be with me. "


    "Good, good!"


    With a bright smile on his face, Huang Hu said, "what about the soldiers under my command? How many people are there


    Liu Xiu said, "you are with me. Do you need soldiers?"


    "Oh..."


    Huang Hu''s voice was long and disappointed.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu comforted him: "it''s impossible to give you too much reward to defeat a taishici. After defeating Zhou Yu and taking Sun Quan, I will give you another general. "


    "Good! "


    hearing the speech, Huang Hu immediately began to laugh.

 Chapter 219

    County government, backyard.


    Lying on the bed, Tai Shici had a dispirited look, a strong sense of tiredness in his eyes, and a very pale complexion. Huang Hu''s hammer hurt his internal organs, and his chest was burning with pain. There are countless stabs in the chest, as if there is no movement.


    His eyes were dim and his mood was low.


    Lost!


    This time, he was completely defeated by Liu Xiu.


    He was defeated in the past. He could escape and make a comeback. But this time, he not only lost AI County, but also was captured by Liu Xiusheng, and had no chance to defeat Liu Xiu.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A steady sound of footsteps came from outside the room.


    Creak!


    The door opened and Liu Xiu stepped in.


    When taishici saw Liu Xiu, he simply closed his eyes. He was captured and became Liu Xiu''s prisoner. He didn''t want to see Liu Xiu.


    This situation, this scene, cold heart.


    Liu Xiu sat down beside Tai Shici. Regardless of whether Tai Shici would like to open his eyes or not, he said to himself, "the doctor has treated you. You have suffered a hammer. Your internal organs have been injured and your heart has been damaged. It will take at least three or five months to recover. From now on, you''ll stay in the army and take good care of yourself. Don''t think about anything


    Taishici was surprised that Liu Xiu''s words were concerned, and he didn''t admit surrender, and there was no other threat.


    It''s just that he snorted and said nothing.


    Liu Xiu also said: "you are good at healing. If you need anything, you can give orders directly." With that, Liu Xiu left the room and ordered the soldiers to meet Tai Shici''s requirements.


    Lying on the bed, his heart was hard to calm down. Seeing Liu Xiu, he really began to consider his own situation. He was captured and became a prisoner. What should he do next?


    "Alas..."


    With a sigh, Tsz closed his eyes and thought of nothing.


    ¡­¡­


    One day, AI County recovered calm.


    The soldiers of Jingzhou who occupied AI county did not suffer from vertical soldiers or robbery. AI County in addition to change the day, everything is as usual, let the people''s heart calm down. At the same time, the government heard that taishici killed Ai Jing, and Liu Xiu took taishici to avenge Ai Jing.


    With Liu Xiu''s help, Tai Shici was the murderer of Ai Jing at the beginning. Gradually, Tai Shici surrendered to Liu Xiu, so he killed AI Jingkai and surrendered.


    The news spread in Yuzhang county.


    Chaisang, the water army camp.


    In the grand account of the Chinese army, Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Lu Meng, Han Dang, Ling Tong and other Jiangdong generals gathered.


    The expression on all faces is very serious.


    After the news of Yuzhang county came back, no one could keep calm. Taishici is a general of Jiangdong, guarding one side. However, Tai Shici surrendered, which shocked the generals in the army.


    Zhou Yu''s eyes were calm, his face was dignified, and he said: "it''s definitely impossible for Tai Shici to surrender to Liu Xiu and kill Ai Jing instead. This news must have been fabricated by Liu Xiu. "


    "However, according to the information inquired, Tai Shici did kill Ai Jing."


    "It can be inferred from the news from AI county that Ai Jing was not willing to stay in the city after Liu Xiu''s agitation. On impulse, he sent someone to ask Tai Shici to come to the county government."


    "The governor expected that when the two sides met in the county government, Ai Jing proposed to fight, but Tai Shici did not agree. There was a conflict between the two sides, which turned into a fight."


    "In the end, Ai Jing died in the hands of Tai Shici. It was precisely at this time that Liu Xiu attacked the city. Under the situation of internal strife in AI County, Liu Xiu easily broke the city and captured Tai Shici alive. "


    Zhou Yu didn''t see it with his own eyes, but according to the information sent back, he analyzed the situation exactly.


    Zhou Yu''s eyes were bright and full of spirit. He said: "the reason why Ai Jing is in a hurry to fight is that Liu Xiu incited him and sent someone to incite him. If Liu Xiu didn''t add fuel, Ai Jing might not conflict with Tai Shici. After all, everything is Liu Xiu''s plan. "


    Huang Gai clenched his fist and said, "governor of Dadu, AI county is lost. Anyway, we have to rescue."


    Zhou Yu said: "support is necessary. We have to consider how to support it."


    Huang Gai Baoquan way: "most governor, attack Liu Xiu, the end will be willing to be the vanguard, lead the army and Liu Xiu a higher." Huang Gai still has a knot in his heart about Liu Xiu''s going to Jiangdong to meet his bride, but playing with everyone in Jiangdong, and Liu Xiu''s escape from Jiangxia.


    Lingtong high spirited, but also quickly Baoquan way: "most governor, the end will be willing to pioneer."


    Zhou Yu snorted, narrowed his eyes, and yelled, "I''m not asking you to fight. Now, it''s about how to fight with Liu Xiu. You''ve all given up being a pioneer for the time being. "


    All the generals were quiet when they heard the words.


    Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu occupied AI county with 10000 soldiers. To win Liu Xiu in the first World War, we must completely cut off Liu Xiu''s back road. Therefore, in this war, we should have planned to attack in two ways. ""Cheng Pu asked," who will lead the army in the tactics of the governor? "


    As soon as the words came out, the eyes of Huang Gai, Ling Tong and Gan Ning were shining. Leading the troops to fight is what they are most looking forward to. One by one, they stare at Zhou Yu with bright eyes, full of expectation.


    Zhou Yu''s face was serious and he fell into thinking. The two armies need to be presided over. If he goes to AI County in person, then the commander of the second army will have someone, but the first army still needs one presider.


    After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yu''s eyes fell on Huang Gai and said, "Huang Gai, listen to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Huang Gai stood up and went to the center of the hall to salute. He clenched his fist and looked excited in his eyes. He was the first to be called out by Zhou Yu. He must be entrusted with a heavy task.


    Zhou Yu ordered: "you lead 5000 soldiers to the junction of AI county and Xiajun County, and cut off Liu Xiu''s retreat."


    "No!"


    Huang Gai saluted with his fists, then retreated to his seat.


    "I''d rather listen to the order!" Zhou Yu also said.


    Gan Ning stood up and said, "the end will be here!"


    Zhou Yu said, "as Huang Gai''s deputy general, you help Huang Gai cut off Liu Xiu''s retreat."


    "No!"


    Should be willing to give birth to a little disappointment. I thought that he might become the vanguard of the second army when he was called, but I didn''t expect that he would help Huang Gai. But it''s a good result to play with Huang Gai


    Zhou Yu said, "Ling Tong and LV Meng listen to the order."


    "The end will be here!"


    Ling Tong and LV Meng got up and saluted Liu Xiu respectfully.


    Zhou Yu''s eyes were solemn, and he said, "you two, follow our governor to AI county. This time the governor attacked Liu Xiu and led 15000 soldiers. "


    "I will obey you!"


    Ling Tong and LV Meng responded and returned to the table.


    At this time, Zhou Yu''s eyes fell on Cheng Pu and said, "Cheng Pu, you will be in charge of Chaisang''s military and political affairs when our governor leaves the camp. During the governor''s departure, we must be careful to guard against Huang Zu''s attack. Huang Zu may seize the opportunity to attack. "


    Cheng Pu is mature and steady, and his style is steady. He bows his hand and says: "the governor of Dadu is at ease, and he will not let Chaisang have any problems."


    Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Han Dang general, you stay to help Cheng PU."


    "Yes! I will obey you. "


    Han Dang nodded, a look of disappointment in his eyes.


    Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "do you understand each other''s tasks?"


    "I understand!"


    All the generals nodded and knew their characters.


    Zhou Yu said, "now that they have understood their respective tasks, let''s go down and carry out the orders."


    The generals were ordered to step down.


    Zhou Yu got up and left the big account of the Chinese army and began to deploy troops.

 Chapter 220

    Luling County, located in the south of Yuzhang County, borders hepingdu county.


    Huang Zhong and Pang Tong led 10000 troops to march from Ancheng county. After they entered Pingdu County, the magistrate of Pingdu County immediately opened the city and surrendered. After taking Pingdu County, the front of the army pointed to Luling county.


    At this time, sun Ben had already led his troops to stay in the city.


    The two armies confronted each other. Sun Ben stayed in the city and didn''t lead the troops.


    Inside the city, barracks.


    Sun Ben is looking up the latest news.


    "Hoo


    When he saw a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, his face became overcast. The content on the bamboo slips is very simple. It is the latest news in Luling county.


    It is rumored that there is only one person Huang Zhong is afraid of, that is Tai Shici. If sun Ben leads the army to fight, he will surely lose. The most important thing is that the people''s arguments are well founded, listing the reasons why Huang Zhong is afraid of Tai Shici.


    When the news was put on Sun Ben''s desk, sun Ben was not calm.


    However, sun Ben knew that it was the other side''s estrangement plan, and he was even more aggressive. On the one hand, he wanted to alienate the relationship between him and Tsz; on the other hand, he wanted to motivate him to take the initiative to fight.


    When they went south, sun Ben and Tai Shici had already agreed on a plan. In this battle, they adopted a defensive policy and did not take the initiative.


    Therefore, sun Ben did not move and chose to turn a blind eye.


    The military strength of Luling county is not large enough to resist the army of Jingzhou. Sun Ben personally presided over the war. Naturally, the magistrate of Luling county was very eager to participate in the war. If he did not participate in the war, he would not have to worry. What he did was very simple. He just collected all the information and sent it to sun Ben.


    On this day, the magistrate of Luling County received the news and looked shocked. Usually, he sends messages in person. After reading today''s news, the magistrate of Luling County called a soldier and told him to send bamboo slips.


    When the bamboo slips were placed on Sun Ben''s desk, sun Ben''s eyes sparkled with anger.


    "Pa!"


    Sun Ben slapped his hand on the table and roared, "Huang Zhong, I will not kill you, I will swear not to be a human being."


    The contents of the bamboo slips involve sun Ben''s younger brother Sun Fu and his father sun Qiang.


    Sun Ben''s parents died early, but there was a difference of fifteen or sixteen years between him and Sun Fu. When sun Ben''s father sun Qiang died, Sun Fu was only about one year old. It is rumored that Sun Fu was the child born by sun Ben and sun Qiang''s concubine Tong Jian. The reason why Sun Qiang died early was that he was angry to death after discovering the truth.


    Sun Ben and his father and brother Sun Fu have a very good relationship. The rumor outside slanders his family, which makes sun Ben unable to suppress his anger. In addition, there are rumors that taishici was put in important position because taishici presented a beautiful woman to sun Ben and flattered sun Ben so that he could preside over the military affairs of Yuzhang Prefecture. The vicious news made sun Ben intolerable.


    "Come on, drum and gather."


    Sun Ben roared, an order to go down, camp drums such as thunder, quickly spread.


    The generals in the army rushed to the big tent.


    Sun Benzao was already dazzled by his anger. He glanced over the generals and said, "Huang Zhong has deceived people too much. Does he really think his 10000 troops are afraid? Mobilize a large army to go out of the city and attack Huang Zhong. "


    The generals are surprised that those who have never been in the war are now in the war.


    It''s weird!


    However, sun Ben was the commander in chief and the prefect of Yuzhang county. As soon as he gave the order, the generals in the army did not dare to refute it, so they immediately backed down and went to mobilize the army.


    Ten thousand troops were arrayed. Sun Ben came to the barracks and ordered to attack.


    Ten thousand soldiers left the barracks in a mighty way.


    Sun Ben led his troops out of the city, and the news soon spread to Huang Zhong''s barracks. When Huang Zhonggang got the news, he looked at Pang Tong and said with a smile, "military strategist, sun Ben is in the trap. He takes the initiative to go out of the city and can start the following plan."


    Pang Tong said: "in this war, sun Ben''s main forces must be annihilated."


    They look at each other and smile, waiting quietly.


    Half an hour later, sun Ben''s army arrived at Huang Zhong''s barracks.


    Against the cold wind, sun Ben ordered a strong attack. One thousand Jiangdong soldiers, as pioneers, stormed Huang Zhong''s camp. This attack was quickly countered by bows, arrows and catapults. Although a thousand Jiangdong vanguards repeatedly approached the gate of the camp, they were eventually driven out and blocked out of the camp.


    Sun Ben''s anger surged up, and he sent two thousand soldiers to attack.


    Nearly 3000 Jiangdong soldiers stormed, and the two sides deadlocked at the gate of the camp.


    "Kill, kill sun Ben!"


    Just as the war was going on, an army burst out from behind Sun Ben. This army suddenly attacked the rear area of sun Ben, which made the soldiers in the rear area of sun Ben in turmoil.


    Sun Ben was startled and immediately commanded the soldiers to resist. When he just led his troops to resist the attack from the rear, the left and right wings rushed out an army respectively and quickly killed the Jiangdong soldiers on both wings.


    On the battlefield, sun Ben was trapped in the center and attacked from the front, back, left and right.The army was ambushed, but Sun Ben didn''t command calmly. When he panicked, he ordered to withdraw. The army broke through the hindrance of Jingzhou soldiers in the rear, but the army fled, and the situation was like a mountain of defeat.


    Ten thousand troops were demoralized and defeated.


    In Jingzhou barracks, the army went out to hide and kill with all its strength, and sun Ben''s army was defeated.


    Sun Ben fled quickly. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer pursuers in the rear, he was relieved to think that when he got rid of the pursuers, he killed another group of soldiers on the way to stop sun Ben''s advance.


    For a time, sun Ben fled again in confusion, and the soldiers suffered serious losses.


    Along the way, he was repeatedly blocked. His 10000 soldiers died, fled and scattered. The remaining troops were less than 2000 soldiers.


    Approaching Luling County, the road was smooth. Finally, sun Ben came back to Luling county without danger.


    However, there are only more than 1000 soldiers left.


    When he left the city, sun Ben was surrounded by more than 10000 soldiers. He was mighty and fierce. Now when he returned, he was defeated at the expense of his troops, and his troops were seriously insufficient.


    The garrison in Luling County itself is small, and sun Ben has lost his troops at the expense of his troops, which is already in danger.


    With sun Ben''s troops, it is almost impossible to defend Luling county.


    Sitting in the barracks, sun Ben showed regret in his eyes. He clearly knew that the news in the city was Huang Zhong''s provocation, and finally went to war, leading to the present defeat.


    The army is white. What should we do?


    Sun Ben Jian defended Luling County, but Huang Zhong began to attack.


    For two days, Huang Zhong attacked the city continuously. Although Huang Zhong''s soldiers were driven back, the garrison of Luling county was almost exhausted, and it was hard to sustain.


    Sun Ben chose to retreat from Luling county to Shiyang County, which is next to Luling county.

 Chapter 221

    Jiangxia County, Xiling county.


    Taishou mansion, Huang Zu and his generals are discussing business in the hall.


    Huang Zu looked relaxed and said happily: "I just got the news from Changsha County. Xiugongzi stormed Yuzhang County, conquered AI county and captured taishici alive. It was tiger who captured Tai Shici in this battle. "


    This remark will be praised by many people.


    Zhang Shuo''s eyes turned and he said: "the martial arts of the tiger is unparalleled. If you let the tiger go to the battlefield in Jiangxia earlier, you may have already made great achievements."


    Zhang Shuo is a general under Huang Zu, and he is deeply trusted by Huang Zu. He was born to be a strong man with outstanding martial arts. He was well versed in naval warfare and was a capable general of Huang Zu.


    Chen on the face of a look of joy, echoed: "the end will agree with general Zhang''s analysis, the adult early let tiger childe into the army, I''m afraid already famous Jingzhou."


    Everyone in the hall knows the power of Huang Hu.


    The two golden hammers are extremely powerful. Even if Zhang Shuo and Chen Jiu join hands in Huang Hu''s hands, they can''t make three moves. Although they are suspected of praising Huang Zu, they really admire Huang Hu''s martial arts.


    Huang Hu''s head is not so smart and his martial arts are invincible.


    Huang Zu had a strong smile on his face and said, "hu''er is outstanding in martial arts, but he is naive. It''s too difficult to get ahead." Although he was happy in his heart, he did not show it.


    As soon as the words changed, Huang Zu said: "besides, master Xiu wrote to say that Zhou Yu of Chaisang had sent his army to Yuzhang county. According to the information sent back by the spies in Chaisang arranged by my official, this information was also confirmed. Zhou Yu led 15000 troops to the battle, leaving Cheng Pu and Han Dang behind. "


    As soon as the words came out, the general below seemed to smell the fishy cat, and his eyes glittered.


    Zhang Shuo stood up without hesitation and said, "my Lord, I''m willing to fight for the vanguard."


    Chen also can''t wait to say: "my Lord, the end will be willing to be a pioneer."


    Other people in the hall began to speak.


    Everyone knows that this is a rare opportunity. Jiangxia county and Chaisang county have been confronting each other for many years. Huang Zu and Zhou Yu have been fighting each other for many times, and no one can win. From the third year when Sun Quan took charge of Jiangdong, that is, three years ago, he sent troops to attack Jiangxia, intending to avenge Sun Jian. But in every battle, Sun Quan failed. Huang Zu attacked Chaisang several times without success.


    The opportunity finally appeared. All the generals saw the opportunity to do meritorious service, and naturally they would not let it go.


    Huang Zu''s eyes were serious and he said, "Zhang Shuo and Chen will listen to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Zhang Shuo and Chen Jiu stood up to salute.


    As soon as Huang Zu''s sleeves were brushed, he ordered in a deep voice: "Zhang Shuo was ordered to be the pioneer, and Chen Jiu was the Deputy pioneer. He led 3000 troops to Chaisang county to attack Chaisang."


    "I will obey you!"


    In the eyes of Zhang Shuo and Chen Jiu, there is a strong excitement.


    Huang Zu also arranged the water army to stop the water army in Poyang Lake and rescue Chaisang along the Yangtze River waterway. After a command, Huang Zu led an army of 20000 and approached Chaisang.


    ¡­¡­


    AI County, in the city.


    Liu Xiu led his troops to stay in AI County, waiting for news. The news of Zhou Yu''s sending troops first came back, and then the news of Huang Zu''s sending troops came back.


    After receiving two messages, Liu Xiu knew that the time was ripe and his plan could begin.


    Zhou Yu, a fierce tiger, went down the mountain.


    Liu Xiu went to the backyard of the county government and came to the courtyard of taishici''s cultivation.


    After a few days of recuperation, he recovered a lot. When Liu Xiu heard the news, he had to admire it. He sighed that taishici''s recovery ability had changed. At first, doctors predicted that it would take three to five months for taishici to fully recover. Now, I''m afraid it will take about a month at most to recover.


    Up to now, Tsz has been able to walk on the ground, but he can''t carry capacity.


    In the yard, they sat down.


    Tess sat in silence.


    Liu Xiu said: "the news of the fall of AI county has spread to Chaisang. Now, Zhou Yu has led 15000 troops to kill him. In three days at most, Zhou Yu''s army will arrive in AI county. "


    A bright light flashed in his eyes, and he said: "most of the governors use their weapons like gods. He personally leads his troops to AI County, and leads 15000 troops to kill them. You will surely be defeated. Now, don''t you plan to withdraw? "


    "Retreat? Why should I retreat? "


    There was a smile in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    Tai Shici said, "do you think you can resist the 15000 troops of the governor. If you are trapped in AI County, the governor of Dadu will attack or besiege you. Whatever you do, you will be in trouble. If there is not enough food in the city, your situation is even more dangerous. "


    The simple truth is that taishici knows that Liu Xiu certainly knows.


    However, Tai Shici didn''t understand why Liu Xiu was so calm and didn''t worry about Zhou Yu''s killing.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "before Ziyi lost to me, do you believe you will fail?"Tai Shici heard the speech and fell silent.


    In Liu Xiu''s words, it means that Zhou Yu''s killing this time, though fierce, will eventually fail.


    "I don''t know where you got your self-confidence, but I only know that most of the supervisors are so bright that they will never fall into your conspiracy. All your little tricks will be understood by the governor. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Ziyi, we''ll see."


    Standing up, Liu Xiu left taishici''s yard and went to Zhao Yun''s yard.


    In the yard, Zhao Yun is practicing martial arts.


    A bright silver gun of gentian, flying up and down in the air, changing endlessly, with a strong sense of killing in dexterity. The sharp point of the gun, in the air, conjures up a little light, breathtaking, with a cold sense of killing.


    Zhao Yun''s marksmanship has long been superb.


    It''s a visual pleasure to watch Zhao Yun practice his gun.


    Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Yun stood with a pistol.


    "Pa! Pop! Bang


    Liu Xiu applauded and praised: "Zilong, your shooting skill is really unique. In terms of shooting, there are few people who are better than you. Xuande, you are such a strong general. It''s enviable. "


    Zhao Yun arched his hand and said, "I''m flattered, young master Xiu. He has all the great generals like Huang Hu. Why envy me such a nobody?"


    Liu Xiu said: "if Zilong is a nobody, the world''s famous people are not so good."


    Zhao Yun wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "don''t praise me, Mr. Xiu. What can I do for you?" He is a member of Liu Bei, and he is not interested in chatting with Liu Xiu. To Liu Xiu, Zhao Yun is more contact, more fear. In particular, Liu Xiu''s plan to capture Tai Shici put Zhao Yun on guard.


    Liu Xiu lifted his robe and sat down, saying, "Zilong said that, so I won''t beat around the bush. This time, there is one of the most important things to be done by Zilong. "


    "What''s the matter?" Zhao Yun asked.


    Liu Xiu took a deep breath and told Zhao Yun what he wanted to do.


    After hearing this, Zhao Yun''s eyes showed a look of surprise, because he knew about the war with Zhou Yu. Now that he knew what Liu Xiu had arranged for him to do, he understood the importance of his task. Once his action fails, it will have a fatal impact on Liu Xiu''s whole plan.


    In other words, if he failed, Liu Xiu''s plan failed.


    Even Liu Xiu will face a crisis.


    Zhao Yun zhengse way: "repair childe let me carry out such an important task, is not afraid of me to block, and then lead to failure?"


    Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "you don''t have to worry about employing people. I believe that Zilong can complete the task. "


    "I don''t believe in myself," Zhao said


    Liu Xiu laughed and said: "if we really want to find a reason to use you, it is that no one under my command can use you. Thinking about it, we can only let Zilong carry out the task. "


    Zhao Yun snorted, but he admired him. The so-called "no one is available" is just rhetoric. Liu Xiu''s daring to entrust such an important matter to him is not only a bold decision, but also a trust in him.


    Zhao Yun asked, "how many people do I have?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "six hundred people!"


    Zhao Yun said: "when will we start?"


    Liu xiudao: "this night, the time should be fast, more careful, not to expose the whereabouts."


    Zhao Yun nodded his head and said, "I will try my best to stay in your position and manage your affairs for three months. Please rest assured that Zhao Yun will complete the task. "


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he showed a smile on his face.

 Chapter 222

    November 28, approaching the winter of December.


    On this day, drums outside the city thundered.


    The black army, arrayed outside AI County, is full of the spirit of killing.


    In front of the battle, Zhou Yu was wearing armor and sword. He rode on a horse, squinting at Ai county. In a hurry, Zhou Yu arrived outside AI County in the shortest time.


    The formation of fifteen thousand troops has added to the enormous momentum.


    On the tower, Liu Xiu''s eyes also fell on the army line outside the city. When he got the news, he knew that Zhou Yu had led 15000 soldiers to kill him, 5000 more than him. But Liu Xiu occupied the city, occupied the advantage of geographical advantage, even if Zhou Yu strong troops, it is not likely to be able to take advantage of anything.


    Standing at the foot of the city, Zhou Yu said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, you are already a turtle in a jar. If you surrender now, I will spare your life. At the same time, I will play the master. Please marry Shangxiang to you. "


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Liu xiulang laughed and said confidently: "brother Gongjin, I''m stationed in AI county. How can I say that there is a turtle in a jar? But you came all the way from Chaisang. Chaisang has no army to guard. Aren''t you afraid of a fire in the backyard? I believe that there will be people willing to attack Chaisang. "


    With a smile on his face, Zhou Yu said without hesitation: "do you think the governor will not consider Chaisang''s safety when he goes out to fight? You want to attack Chaisang with the help of Huang Zu''s power. That''s wishful thinking. "


    After a pause, Zhou Yu said in a fierce voice: "young master Xiu is trapped in AI County, and his back road is cut off by the governor''s troops. Now, it is impossible for xiugongzi to withdraw Xiajun county from AI county. The troops in xiugongzi''s hands are already a lonely army. It''s impossible for the 10000 people in your hands to fight to the end. "


    Liu Xiu was surprised when he heard that Zhou Yu had sent troops to cut off his retreat.


    This move not only hit the morale, but also cut off Liu Xiu''s retreat.


    If Liu Xiu didn''t set up the situation early, he might be in trouble.


    With a smile in his mouth, Liu Xiu took a breath and said, "brother Gongjin cut off my back road just to cut off my grain road. But did you forget that there was food in AI county? AI county has enough grain to support two or three months. Is brother Gongjin going to stay outside the city for two or three months? Brother Gongjin, have you forgotten the situation in the south of Yuzhang county? The situation in the South will not last for two or three months. "


    Take advantage of the situation to fight back.


    Zhou Yu had a sharp look in his eyes and hummed: "Sun Ben went south to resist Huang Zhong. He can''t fail."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "but Sun Ben is defeated! Today''s sun Ben, under the command of ten thousand troops lost, was forced to retreat to Shiyang county. Huang Zhong leads the commander to drive straight in, and soon he will defeat sun Ben and sweep the south. "


    This news is the war report Liu Xiu just got in the morning.


    Unexpectedly, the confrontation with Zhou Yu brought the latest news back from Huang Zhong into use.


    Zhou Yu brushed his sleeves, carried his hands, and said in a loud voice: "no matter what the situation in the south is, as long as the governor strangles you or takes AI County, you will surely die. If you are captured or killed, even if Huang Zhong wins, the Jingzhou army''s offensive in Yuzhang county will soon disappear. "


    Liu Xiu said: "in that case, I''m waiting for the governor to attack the city, waiting for the governor to take the official."


    At this time, Liu Xiu stopped talking.


    After a dialogue with Zhou Yu, Liu Xiu got the corresponding information and confused Zhou Yu. That''s enough.


    Outside the city, Zhou Yu was silent. For the time being, he hasn''t heard from sun Ben, the prefect of Yuzhang Prefecture. Although he said that he would win as long as he won Liu Xiu, he was still worried.


    "Withdraw, and the army will camp."


    Zhou Yu ordered that instead of attacking the city immediately, he stationed outside the city.


    The army arranged by Zhou Yu formed a situation of encirclement, three and one shortage, which left Liu Xiu a passage to the north gate and gave Liu Xiu a chance to lead his soldiers to withdraw from the north gate. However, perhaps the place Liu Yu left behind was the ambush.


    The barracks will be built, and the Chinese army will have a big account.


    Zhou Yu, Ling Tong and Lu Meng sat down. Zhou Yu said in a deep voice, "do you have the latest news about sun Ben?"


    Lu Meng shook his head and said, "governor, not yet."


    Zhou Yu''s face was gloomy. At this time, there was a sound of footwork outside the tent.


    "Newspaper!"


    The soldier yelled, then lifted the curtain of the barracks door and went into the barracks, reporting: "governor of Dadu, sun Taishou of Yuzhang County, has news back."


    Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows and immediately took the letter. Open the letter, Zhou Yu quickly read all the news, his face suddenly gloomy.


    He slapped his hands on the desk and wanted to curse his mother.


    Ten thousand troops lost, sun Ben really fled to Shiyang County garrison.


    The news made Zhou Yu rather difficult to deal with. In Zhou Yu''s plan, if sun Ben can''t win, then maintaining a stalemate is the best result.


    Unexpectedly, sun Ben took the initiative to fight, so that he was defeated.Seeing this, LV Meng looked worried and asked, "governor of Dadu, is sun Taishou really defeated?"


    "No! Liu Xiu''s words are true. "


    Zhou Yu''s face was black and he was very depressed.


    Ling Cao looked serious and said: "the defeat of sun Taishou means that our army can no longer confront Liu Xiu. Otherwise, the situation in the South will worsen and Huang Zhong will move his army northward after he wins in the south. We''re going to get caught in a trap. Governor, we must attack the city as soon as possible. "


    Zhou Yu''s eyes twinkled, thinking about the solution to the war.


    A moment later, Zhou Yu said, "to attack AI County by force is the best policy. If you don''t have to, don''t take the strategy of attacking AI County by force. The army will rest for a day. Tomorrow morning, the governor will try Liu Xiu again. If Liu Xiu can be forced to take the initiative, that is the best result. No more sieges. "


    "How to test?" Ling Tong had a curious look in his eyes.


    Zhou Yu said, "cheat him!"


    However, Zhou Yu didn''t say it in detail, and Ling Tong didn''t ask again.


    Early the next morning, Zhou Yu led his troops to the city again.


    Liu Xiu stood on the tower, looking at the array of troops under Zhou Yu''s command, but he did not attack. He was puzzled. Liu Xiu said in a loud voice: "brother Gongjin, you are leading tens of thousands of soldiers to come here, but you don''t attack the city. Are you trying to scare me? Ha ha ha... "


    Huang Hu, Deng Zhan and others also laughed.


    Zhou Yu was calm and said, "last night, the governor gave an order to send 5000 soldiers to Changsha County. The governor was thinking, "if you county falls, can you still sit in AI county?"


    "Oh, I''m so scared!"


    Liu Xiu made a look of fear and said in a loud voice, "brother Gongjin, I''m afraid of you."


    The strange appearance made Zhou Yu frown.


    Zhou Yu tried to test whether Liu Xiu had a garrison in you county.


    If Liu Xiu pours out, he will panic when he learns about Zhou Yu''s division. Then he will take the initiative to attack Zhou Yu and relieve the pressure of you county. If Liu Xiu left his soldiers to guard, he would not worry.


    At that time, Zhou Yu can only attack by force.


    Zhou Yu laughed and said, "don''t worry, Mr. Xiu. In fact, the governor is bluffing you. The governor''s army is all here. How can you send troops to attack you county? "


    My heart is beating. Brother Gongjin, don''t make a joke any more. What if I can''t help getting out of town? "


    On hearing this, Zhou Yu thought that Liu Xiu must have left someone to guard him.


    Otherwise, it''s no joke.


    Liu Xiu sneered in his heart. He led the army to fight. How could he not leave the army to guard you county? You county is Liu Xiu''s hometown. Once it is taken away, the consequences will be unimaginable.


    Zhou Yu realized that it was impossible to cheat Liu Xiu. He took a deep breath and held the sword handle in his right hand.


    "Sonorous!"


    Like the sound of the dragon, the shining sword stands in the air.


    Zhou Yu said in a high voice, "attack the city!" Under the command, the Jiangdong army began to surge forward and launched a fierce siege. Ling Tong and Lu Meng took the lead and then launched an attack.


    "Dong! Dong


    The roar of war drums resounded through the battlefield.


    Thousands of Jiangdong soldiers roared and killed AI county.


    Seeing that Zhou Yu began to attack the city, Liu Xiu knew that Zhou Yu could not send troops to attack you county. What he said just now is just Zhou Yu cheating him. Liu Xiu immediately ordered the counterattack, and the garrison on the tower moved quickly.

 Chapter 223

    "Ready Archer!"


    On the tower, a small school opened its mouth.


    In an instant, archers on the tower quickly took their positions, stood on the female wall of the tower, and aimed their bows at Jiang Dongbing outside the city.


    "Shoot the arrow!"


    With a command, the arrows are like rain, and the dense bows and arrows are constantly shooting out.


    "Catapult, get ready!"


    Yuan Ye''s soldiers had already installed a catapult, and there were 30 catapults on it. Thirty stones weighing 50 Jin are put on the catapult and ready.


    "Projection!"


    When Yuan Ye ordered, he heard the roaring sound of the catapult running.


    "Boom! Boom


    Big stones shot out of the city.


    Long range attack of the catapult and bow, continuous attack.


    The bow and arrow are dense, and the catapult is powerful. Jiangdongbing, who is close to the tower of AI County, is soon blocked. However, this still can not stop the pace of Jiangdong soldiers forward, one by one Jiangdong soldiers roared to the tower. When Jiangdong soldiers set up cloud ladders, cloud cars, and even used all kinds of weapons to attack the city, a log fell from the tower and hit the attacking soldiers.


    "Wow!"


    After boiling, the water mixed with oil was poured down and spilled on Jiang Dongbing.


    When I was drenched, I immediately blistered.


    Because of the adulteration of oil, the scald is even more serious. Jiang Dongbing, who was drenched, screams and struggles. The injured soldiers are numerous, and more and more of them begin to climb the ladder.


    "Kill, kill up and take back AI county."


    Lu Meng roared, people on the ladder, constantly climbing up.


    With a big knife on his back, he had reached the last moment of climbing the city wall. When he rushed to the city wall, a spear stabbed in the air. LV Meng pulled the ladder with one hand and turned to avoid the blow. Pedaling on the ladder of the ladder, he made a sudden effort. With the help of force, he climbed on the female wall with both hands. A kite rolled over and entered the city wall.


    "Ha ha ha, I''m coming up. Kill me!"


    LV Meng took off the big knife on his back and tried his best to chop and kill all the Jingzhou soldiers beside the ladder.


    More and more Jiangdong soldiers rushed up.


    Huang Hu carrying a drum urn hammer, running back and forth. Where there are many Jiangdong soldiers, he is there. When Huang Hu saw that a large number of Jiangdong soldiers had gathered in the direction where LV Meng was, he rushed over with a drum jar and a gold hammer.


    "Cape hammer, kill!"


    Huang Hu left and right bow, two drum urn gold hammer swept on the wall.


    "Bang! Bang


    The sound of hammering is constantly ringing.


    All the Jiangdong soldiers who were swept by the golden hammers of beating drums and urn were either dead or wounded, and had no power to fight again.


    Lu Meng''s eyes were cold and fierce. He rushed to the yellow tiger with his knife and the blade fell.


    "Dang!"


    Weapons hit, sparks splashed.


    Lu Meng''s face changed greatly. When he went down with a knife, his opponent''s beating drum urn hammer was not affected at all. He held the knife''s hand, but it was shaking and his mouth was in pain.


    As soon as we fight, LV Meng knows that he is not the opponent of the other side.


    Without any hesitation, Lu Meng turned and withdrew.


    Huang Hu didn''t pay attention to LV Meng either. He kept hammering the soldiers around him like a big stone. All the soldiers were killed one after another. In the end, LV Meng was chased and had to retreat from the castle to avoid the pursuit of Huang Hu.


    Compared with LV Meng, Ling Tong rushes to the tower and is assassinated by Deng Zhan.


    Deng Zhan''s swordsmanship is unparalleled. He kills people without blinking an eye. Ling Tong and Deng Zhan took less than ten moves. They had three swords in their bodies. Fortunately, they were all shoulders and back, and their injuries were not serious.


    There is no doubt that Ling Tong''s attack failed, and finally retreated from the castle.


    Wave after wave of Jiangdong soldiers rushed to the top of the city, and were finally beaten down, unable to completely stand firm on the tower.


    Under the tower, the gate was constantly hit.


    The defending soldiers are also constantly pouring down the boiling water and wood, and so on, to prevent the other side from attacking the city. The two armies took AI County as the fighting place and launched a seesaw battle.


    Liu Xiu looked calm without a trace of panic.


    In this battle, he defended and Zhou Yu attacked. His 10000 troops were not afraid of Zhou Yu''s attack.


    Sitting outside the city, Zhou Yu watched the soldiers of Jiang Dongbing rush to the head of the city wave by wave, but they were driven down again. His heart was very nervous. Liu Xiu will be defeated if he conquers AI county. Now he has surrounded AI County, and Liu Xiu will not escape.


    At the end of the day, at night, Zhou Yu finally gave up his troops.


    After dark, it''s not conducive to siege.


    The soldiers of Jiangdong retreated like a tide, and the soldiers of Jingzhou garrisoned on the upper floor of the city were relieved.


    All the soldiers in Dongjiang were killed by the fire. The dead soldiers in Jingzhou need to be registered one by one.


    In the room, Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan, Huang Hu, Deng AI and others were seated.Compared with Deng Zhan and Huang Hu, Deng AI''s martial arts are not strong, but he killed many people in this battle. This is the first time that Deng AI personally experienced a fierce war, experienced a fight, he quickly adapted to it, with a trace of spirit in his eyes.


    Liu Xiu asked: "Deng Zhan, how about the loss of 1500 soldiers stationed in the garrison?"


    Deng Zhan replied, "my Lord, there are 200 soldiers who died in the war, and more than 160 who were seriously injured and lost their fighting capacity. The rest of the soldiers will be able to fight again. "


    With a smile, Huang Hu said, "third brother, the loss of Zhou Yu''s army in today''s World War I is definitely greater than ours."


    Liu Xiu said: "we have the advantage of occupying the city. In this case, our losses are greater, so we don''t have to fight this battle."


    Huang Hu touched his head and stopped talking.


    Liu Xiu said, "change the defense early tomorrow morning and send another group of soldiers to garrison."


    This time, Liu Xiu divided the defense of AI County into six armies, each of which had 1500 soldiers and a total of 9000 soldiers. Each army is responsible for defending for one day, taking turns.


    In this way, it can not only ensure the combat effectiveness of soldiers, but also ensure that soldiers can rest.


    "Don''t worry, my Lord. I''ve already arranged my humble position," Deng said


    Liu Xiu nodded his head with satisfaction, and then said, "we should pay attention to this evening. We must strengthen our defense to avoid Zhou Yu''s attack. It''s a critical time now, so we can''t give Zhou Yu a chance to take advantage of it. "


    Deng Zhan nodded, discussed other government affairs with Liu Xiu, and then went down to patrol.


    ¡­¡­


    Outside the city, Jiangdong army camp.


    Zhou Yu, Ling Tong, Lu Meng and other generals all sat in the barracks. After one day''s attack, the generals, such as Lingtong and Lvmeng, were very tired, and both of them suffered slight injuries.


    Zhou Yu looked at Ling Tong and said, "Gong Ji, what''s your injury like?"


    Ling Tong smile, a pair of don''t care about expression, Baoquan way: "most governor don''t worry, the end will''s body is not serious. It''s just a few swords. It''s no big deal. It''ll be fine soon. "


    Zhou Yu nodded slightly, then looked at LV Meng and said, "where''s Zi Ming?"


    Lu Meng said: "thank you for your concern. The final general has no influence. Today, when we fight on the city tower, we will find that Liu Xiu has a tiger general under his command. I''m afraid Gongji and I are not his opponents. "


    Zhou Yu frowned and asked, "who?"


    Lu Meng shook his head and said, "I don''t know the name, but the weapon he used was two golden hammers. At the end of a knife in his hammer, he was not affected, but the end will be numb. His power is appalling. "


    Once these words came out, Zhou Yu''s face was quite solemn.


    Although LV Meng''s martial arts are not top-notch, they are quite powerful. It''s not easy for LV Meng to be like this.


    Zhou Yu thought about it and said, "I haven''t heard that Liu Xiu has this man under his command." Speaking of this, Zhou Yu said: "it seems that our mastery of Liu Xiu''s intelligence is not accurate. We need to strengthen it."


    Lu Meng said: "it is estimated that at least hundreds of people were killed by him."


    Referring to the loss of soldiers, Zhou Yu sighed and said solemnly: "today''s World War I, we killed more than 600 soldiers. There are countless wounded soldiers, and nearly a thousand of them have lost combat effectiveness. "


    The huge loss made Zhou Yu''s eyes dignified.


    Lu Meng thought for a moment and said, "Dudu, it''s very difficult to attack AI county. To attack the city by force is the best policy. In this case, it''s too much loss to attack the city and fight Liu Xiumian. The general thinks that we must change our strategy. "


    After a pause, Lu Meng said: "after I rushed to the city building, I found a problem. There were not too many troops stationed on the tower, which meant that Liu Xiu only sent a part of the soldiers to garrison. Tomorrow, another soldier will surely be stationed. In this way, every day we attack the city, we meet the elite. Under such circumstances, it is even more difficult to capture AI county. "


    Zhou Yu nodded, with a dignified look in his eyes. He murmured, "in this way, we must adjust our tactics, and we can no longer take the method of strong attack."

 Chapter 224

    After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yu said, "since there is no way to attack by force, we should find another way and choose the most clumsy strategy."


    Lu Meng asked, "what is the general going to do?"


    Zhou Yu smiles and tells the plan in detail. Then he tells LV Meng and Ling Tong to take charge of the arrangement. After hearing this, Lu Meng and Ling Tong also showed a smile on their faces. They threw their fists back and went down to prepare.


    One night without words, the next morning.


    The silent Jiangdong soldiers were busy again, but they did not choose to attack by force. Instead, they built walls outside the city. The distance of the wall standing on the ground is just at the edge of the range of the bow and arrow.


    Even if the bows and arrows on the top of the city are shot, they have lost their lethality and can not affect the construction of the wall outside the city.


    On the tower, Liu Xiu leaned against the female wall and looked at it carefully. He smiles from the corner of his mouth. Although the distance of the earth wall is not within the range of the bow and arrow, it is still within the range of the catapult.


    "Deng Zhan, tell the catapult to attack with it."


    Liu Xiu ordered Deng Zhan to arrange it immediately.


    Yuan Ye led a catapult to prepare for the attack on the wall outside the city.


    "Boom!"


    About 50 Jin of stones fell on the wall. The newly built wall collapsed in an instant, and all the achievements were destroyed.


    The walls built up were quickly destroyed by the catapult.


    Zhou Yu was at the rear of the town. After noticing the situation, he sneered and told the soldiers to build a wide range of earth walls around the city of AI county. At the same time, also sent a catapult impact AI County tower on the catapult attack.


    There are 30 catapults under Yuan Ye''s command, a lot more than before. However, compared with the external walls, the 30 stone pitching vehicles are far from enough to attack all of them, because more than 30 walls have been built outside the city.


    Liu Xiu noticed the situation and his eyes became solemn.


    Zhou Yu''s method was very clumsy, but it made Liu Xiu difficult.


    It can''t be destroyed, it can only be built by the other party. Or, he sent soldiers out of the city to attack Jiangdong soldiers, and then destroyed the walls built by the other side. But once the city gate was opened, it hit Zhou Yu''s heart.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "focus on attacking the wall that is about to be built, and then destroy it."


    After Yuan Ye got the order, he slowed down the attack and focused on the wall that was almost finished. After all, it is difficult to find a large number of stones in the city, and the speed can only be slowed down temporarily.


    Two days later, with the efforts of a large number of soldiers under Zhou Yu, walls were built outside AI county.


    Wang Ru looks like the outer city of AI county.


    "Boom!"


    Yuan Ye ordered the attack, a catapult attack, constantly destroy the wall outside the city. However, stone throwing vehicles began to appear on the walls, and began to attack the walls.


    Zhou Yu was staring at the scene outside the city. He raised his mouth and murmured, "Liu Xiu, how do you resolve it?"


    Zhou Yu also made arrangements to attack the city wall.


    There are numerous earth walls outside the city, and the focus of the attack is on three. When attacking, first attack with earthenware pots filled with tung oil, and then attack with burning fireballs, so that the walls drenched with flammable tung oil can burn.


    On this basis, and then stone attack.


    So, destroy the walls.


    Once the city wall cracked, Zhou Yu was able to enter the city, and Liu Xiu was defeated.


    Liu Xiu is also aware of this situation.


    His catapult is more advanced and has been modified by Huang Yueying. But after a long time of attack, the stones in the city have been exhausted, and it is difficult to continue to attack with stones. The only way to use it is to attack with cupping. Although cupping has lethality, it doesn''t affect the rhythm of attack. At the end of the day, part of the wall in the direction of the South Gate collapsed.


    After nightfall, the attack continued.


    Liu Xiu''s face, there is a trace of dignified. After a long confrontation with Zhou Yu, it was difficult to garrison AI county.


    In the room, Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan and others were seated.


    There was still a roaring crash on the tower. Liu Xiu glanced at several people and said in a deep voice, "Zhou Yu used the most stupid method to attack the city, but this method worked. AI county is about to be conquered. We can only prepare to evacuate. "


    "Lord, Zhao Yun has been away from AI County for some time. According to the news, it should make sense. "


    Referring to Zhao Yun, Liu Xiu''s eyes showed a trace of expectation.


    Zhao Yun is the most important part of Liu Xiu''s plan. Huang Zu attacked Chaisang to attract the attention of Chaisang''s garrison. At this time, an army led by Zhao Yun intervened in the fighting between the two sides and became a weight on the balance. Zhao Yun is the key to breaking the situation. As long as Chaisang is broken, Zhou Yu''s offensive will be broken.


    Liu xiudao: "the situation of Zhao Yun is unknown and unpredictable. One more day, if there is no news from Zhao Yun, we will withdraw our troops and go to Chaisang. "


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan nodded and turned to leave the room for the night patrol.Liu Xiu went down to the city hall and went to the county government.


    When he came to the backyard of the county government, he went straight to the courtyard of taishici. At this time, the oil lamp was still on in his room, and he did not rest.


    These days, Tai Shici didn''t see Liu Xiu. He was surprised that Liu Xiu came. With a smile on his mouth, he said: "is it to show off the result of victory that Mr. Xiu came to see me at night?"


    Liu xiudao: "Zhou Yu is not an easy person. AI county can''t keep it. You should be ready to leave at any time."


    "Oh, you can''t stop it?"


    There was a trace of curiosity in his eyes.


    After Liu Xiu entered you County, he never failed in leading the battle. This time against Zhou Yu, I encountered a rare problem, which is really amazing.


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s just a temporary retreat. It''s called strategic retreat."


    Tai Shici laughed and said noncommittally, "what happened to the specific war?"


    This time Zhou Yu won, he also had the idea he wanted to know.


    Liu Xiu did not conceal Tai Shici, saying: "Zhou Yu just arrived in AI County, and chose to attack AI county. However, his strategy of attack failed. Later, Zhou Yu built a wall outside the city and put a stone pitching cart on the wall to bombard the wall. Although I have a catapult to fight back, there are not enough stones in the city, and there are not enough catapults to stop it. "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu sighed: "Zhou Yu chose the most stupid way and the most time-consuming way to break the city. Although he was clumsy, I couldn''t stop him. However, he only gained the advantage of offensive and defensive warfare. Maybe the next moment, the situation will be reversed. "


    Liu Xiu still has great confidence in Zhao Yun.


    As long as Zhao Yun wins, the situation will soon turn over.


    Tai Shici narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Xiu said that the next moment, the situation may be reversed. Don''t you have a second hand? Or, you are waiting for the army of Huang Zhong and Pang Tong. "


    Liu Xiu said, "I can''t disclose the details. I''m here to tell you to be ready to retreat. "


    "I know," he said


    Liu Xiu solemnly warned: "at this critical time, I hope you cherish your own life and don''t want you to make any mistakes at this time. Otherwise, I don''t mind killing you and leaving AI county. "


    Liu Xiu appreciates Tai Shici and hopes to keep him. But if taishici wants to leave at the last moment, Liu Xiu doesn''t mind killing taishici.


    Taishici said: "xiugongzi''s defense is strict. How can I have a chance?"


    Liu Xiu smiles and turns to leave.


    ¡­¡­


    Outside the city, the barracks.


    There was a strong smile in Zhou Yu''s eyes. According to the progress of the attack, one day, we can completely destroy the wall outside the south gate. In this way, his soldiers can fight into the city.


    Lu Meng looked excited and said, "governor, the city outside the South Gate of AI county will collapse tomorrow night at the latest. It is expected that Liu Xiu may choose to break through. This time, Liu Xiu can''t escape. "


    Lingtong said: "the gate of Sifang city must be guarded by soldiers."


    With a smile in his eyes, Zhou Yu said, "no troops will be stationed outside the gate of the city. Just leave the soldiers stationed outside the south gate. "


    "Ah, why?"


    Ling Tong''s eyes showed an incredible look.


    Zhou Yu said: "there are no soldiers outside the Sanfang city gate. On the contrary, it is more confusing. Let Liu Xiu guess. Although it seems to withdraw troops, in fact, soldiers must be hidden outside the gates of the three cities, and Liu Xiu cannot escape. "


    When Ling Tong and LV Meng heard the speech, they all understood.


    They left in a hurry to arrange for Liu Xiu to stop him from withdrawing. Zhou Yu waved his subordinates away with a smile in his mouth, expecting Liu Xiu to solve the current situation.

 Chapter 225

    Zhao Yun, with 600 soldiers, quietly went to chaisanghang. His task is to help Huang Zu attack Chaisang and Zhou Yu''s rear area while Huang Zu attacks Chaisang and attracts Cheng Pu''s attention.


    At night, the cold wind howls.


    Zhao Yun and his party were all wrapped in thick clothes and covered with a layer of gauze.


    "Chaka! Click


    The soldiers stepped on the ground and the ice crumbled.


    Each soldier''s shoes, tied a circle of rope, to avoid anti-skid. Only in this way can the team speed up, otherwise it will slip all the way and it will be difficult to improve the speed.


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, a soldier came quickly to report.


    Zhao Yun rode on his horse and asked, "what happened?"


    The soldier reported: "on the official Road 15 miles away, there is a group of soldiers marching all night. According to the visual inspection, it should be the Jiangdong soldiers who came from Chai sang, and the escorted food should be sent to the camp of Zhou Yu. "


    A bright light flashed in Zhao Yun''s eyes.


    Opportunity!


    He was worried that there was no chance to open the gate of Chaisang City, so he was sent to the door.


    Zhao Yun said in a deep voice: "how many people are there on the other side?"


    "It''s estimated to be about 600 people," the soldier said


    Zhao Yun thought for a moment in his heart and said, "the main forces of the other party''s grain escort troops must be concentrated in the front. Out of the front of the soldiers, there should be some soldiers in the middle and at the end. In that case, we will act separately. "


    Immediately, Zhao Yun summoned the generals under his command. All the young generals among the 600 people are looking at Zhao Yun eagerly. They all know that there are grain guards coming from Jiangdong, and they are looking forward to killing the enemy tonight.


    Zhao Yun look decisive, cheered: "Li Xiuquan, listen to the order."


    "I''m in a humble position!"


    Li Xiuquan was a big man with a big knife on his back. When he heard the cry, he immediately saluted.


    Zhao Yun looked serious and said, "you lead 200 soldiers to attack the end of the other side. Remember, we can''t let any Jiangdong soldiers escape. Once they escape back to Chaisang, the chance of taking Chaisang city will disappear. Your main task is to intercept. Before the attack, you should arrange several groups of soldiers to ambush on the road to Chaisang to stop the fleeing Jiangdong soldiers from retreating. "


    "I understand!"


    Li Xiuquan nodded, fighting high, he can''t wait.


    Zhao Yun said: "Zhao Fei, listen to the order."


    "I''m in a humble position!"


    Zhao Fei is short, not tall, but extremely thin. His eyes are like eagle eyes, sharp and cold. He had a short knife on his back. When he heard Zhao Yun''s command, he answered immediately.


    Zhao Yun ordered: "you lead a hundred soldiers to attack the middle position of the grain brigade and cut off the grain brigade."


    "No!"


    Zhao Fei held his fist and stood aside.


    Zhao Yun looked at the rest of the people and said, "the rest of the people, follow me to attack the soldiers in the front."


    "No!"


    All of you have orders.


    After thinking about it, Zhao Yun once again asked: "Li Xiuquan and Zhao Fei, after you ambush, you must wait until the sound of shouting and killing comes from the front before you act. You can''t do it without permission. Do you understand?"


    "I understand!"


    They answered in unison.


    "Let''s go, let''s go."


    Zhao Yun waved. Li Xiuquan and Zhao Fei immediately led the soldiers to move on. Zhao Yun led the soldiers to stop at the same place and hide on both sides of the official road. All the torches were quickly put out and the surrounding area became dark.


    Zhao Yun, Zhao Fei and Li Xiuquan led their respective armies and hid in different places.


    Between heaven and earth, a dark, silent.


    A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Yun and his 300 soldiers were shivering with cold. On a cold day, I hide in the forest. The air conditioning is pressing. Even though my clothes are thick, I can feel the cold wind and the snow. I don''t move, as if my blood is cold.


    However, all the soldiers had to wait and dare not act rashly.


    Another quarter of an hour later, there was a light ahead.


    On the official road, stars shine.


    This scene inspired Zhao Yun and his soldiers. One by one, his eyes were wide open, and he had pulled out the steel knife and held it in his hand, ready to hand. As the distance gets closer, the burning torch can be seen clearly.


    Soon, walking in the front of Jiang Dongbing, has been clearly reflected in Zhao Yun''s eyes. This group, dressed in Jiangdong soldiers'' clothes, escorted the grain sent to zhouyu camp.


    "Chaka! Click


    The disordered footstep is getting closer and closer, and the sound of Jiang Dongbing stepping on the ground is more and more rapid. After a short time, Jiang Dongbing, who was in the front row, arrived at Zhao Yun''s hiding place.


    Zhao Yun seized the opportunity and roared: "kill!"


    With a loud roar, Zhao Yun carried a silver gun and quickly killed him. Zhao Yun''s horse is still tied in the woods, holding a piece in its mouth, unable to make a sound.Under the light of a torch, 300 Jingzhou soldiers were killed quickly.


    The sudden attack stunned the soldiers escorting food and grass.


    "There''s an ambush. Resist it!"


    In the food convoy, the responsible general roared. In order to ensure the safety of the grain team, he walked in the front and could command the response at any time. As soon as Zhao Yun rushes up, the silver spear of the dragon''s gall blares out, just in time to find the general.


    In the face of Zhao Yun''s shot, the general quickly dodged. Although he dodged the shot, with Zhao Yun''s one shot sweeping, he directly hit the general''s waist. With a dull sound, the general flew out and fell to the ground and fainted.


    "Kill, kill all Jiangdong soldiers."


    Zhao Yun roared. He was holding a bright silver gun of dragon gall. He was invincible and powerful.


    The Jingzhou soldiers under his command are also full of fighting spirit.


    The Jiangdong soldiers, who were escorting grain, retreated day by day.


    At the beginning of the battle, the Jiangdong soldiers had already shown their invincibility. At this time, in the middle and at the end of the grain brigade, there were shouts of killing. As Li Xiuquan and Zhao Fei entered the battlefield, the soldiers of Jiangdong were in chaos.


    Jiang Dongbing, who had lost his general, scattered around, fleeing and surrendering.


    Within half an hour, the fight was over.


    An hour later, the battlefield was cleaned up. In this war, 124 Jiangdong soldiers were killed and 228 were captured. The rest of the Jiangdong soldiers fled.


    Li Xiuquan came to Zhao Yun''s side with a serious face and reported: "general, no one escaped from the official path in the rear. All the retreating Jiangdong soldiers were killed, and none of them remained."


    Zhao Yun nodded, his face showing satisfaction.


    Zhao Fei came over and said excitedly, "general, we caught a big fish this time. The man who escorted the grain this time is sun Han, a collateral son of the sun family in Jiangdong. "


    "Bring it up!"


    Zhao Yun''s eyes are full of joy.


    Soon, sun Han was brought up. When Zhao Yun saw sun Han, he raised his eyebrows. The general was the one who flew out when he just rushed out. Unexpectedly, he was the general who escorted the grain.


    Sun Han''s eyes were afraid, and even said: "don''t kill me, as long as you don''t kill me, I''m willing to promise everything."


    "Really?"


    Zhao Yun''s eyes are shining. If sun Han is willing to help, everything will be easy.


    Sun hanlian said: "really, I will cooperate with you."


    Zhao Yun thought for a while and said, "next, you will cooperate with this general."


    "At the command of the general."


    Sun Han''s eyes are afraid and he just wants to save his life.


    At this time, Li Xiuquan took over the conversation and said, "general, what should we do with the more than 200 captured Jiangdong soldiers? If they stay where they are, they will certainly run away, which may affect the plan. If you take it to Chaisang, it will be very troublesome. "


    Zhao Yun eyes a cold, way: "kill!" It''s not that he is not kind enough, it''s not that he is cold-blooded, it''s because the plan this time is that there will be no prisoners in the army.


    Li Xiuquan was ordered to kill all the prisoners immediately.


    Zhao Yun picked up a knife, handed it to sun Han and said, "Sun Han, it''s time to prove your determination. If you don''t kill them, I''ll let them kill you. As long as you perform well and conquer Chaisang, you will be promoted to master Xiuzi, and let him give you an official position. It''s better than staying in Chaisang to be a grain officer. "


    Sun Han looks embarrassed and reluctantly holds the knife. He took a look at Zhao Yun and saw that Zhao Yun looked cold and fierce. He could not help shivering. He gritted his teeth and rushed up with his knife.


    Poof! Poof!


    The blade was sharp, and several Jiangdong soldiers soon died in sun Han''s hands.


    The rest of the captured Jiangdong soldiers were soon killed.


    After sun Han killed several people, he knew he had no way back. Even Jiangdong soldiers have been killed. If he returns to Jiangdong, he will be punished or even killed.


    Zhao Yun also ordered the soldiers to move Jiang Dongbing''s body to the woods and let the soldiers change into Jiang Dongbing''s coat. In the end, Zhao Yuncai asked the soldiers to hide the grain, and then he continued on his way.


    When the army arrived at Chaisang City, it was nearly evening.


    It was getting dark and cold.


    Zhao Yun and sun Han, together with more than 400 people, rushed to the city. The remaining 200 people have been arranged by Zhao Yun to Huang Zu''s camp. Sun Han led 600 soldiers to escort the grain. After the grain was robbed, another 600 people returned. There was a problem with the quantity, so he brought only 400 people outside the city.

 Chapter 226

    Under the tower, sun Han, Zhao Yun and others were all dressed in jiangdongbing''s clothes.


    All of them were tired and dusty.


    On the clothes, there are more bloodstains.


    Sun Han stood beside Zhao Yun. He was very nervous. But at this point, he had no choice. He had to take a deep breath, suppress the tension in his heart, and roared, "I''m sun Han. Open the gate quickly."


    On the tower, Cheng Pu sticks out his head.


    After Zhou Yu left Poyang Lake with his army, Cheng Pu and Han Dang left some soldiers to guard the water village and led the army to Chaisang. Soon after Cheng Pu arrived in Chaisang, Huang Zu led 20000 troops to attack. Cheng Pu''s martial arts is not as good as Huang Gai''s, but his intelligence is quite outstanding. He leads the army to take charge of Chaisang and defends him in an orderly way. Even if Huang Zu''s offensive is fierce, he can''t take Chaisang.


    The situation between the two sides is in a stalemate.


    Even in recent days, Huang Zu seldom attacked the city, but sent people to fight.


    Cheng Pu didn''t fall into the trap and avoided fighting.


    The two sides have been fighting for several days. Up to now, no one has the advantage.


    Cheng Pu looks at Sun Han, and his eyes sweep over the rest of the soldiers. He sees that they are all in a mess, and there are bloodstains on their clothes. He has a bad feeling in his heart.


    Sun Han is the person in charge of escorting grain to AI county. Why did he come back suddenly?


    Has the grain been robbed?


    Cheng Pu didn''t open the gate and put down the suspension bridge. He said, "Sun Han, what''s the matter?"


    Sun Han replied: "general Cheng Pu, on our way to AI County, we were ambushed by Jingzhou soldiers. All the grain I escorted was robbed. I couldn''t resist it, so I pulled it back. "


    "Waste!"


    When Cheng Pu heard this, he yelled.


    In Cheng Pu''s heart, he began to worry about Zhou Yu''s food.


    Zhou Yu led 15000 troops to AI County, which consumed a lot of food every day. Now that the grain sent to AI county has been robbed, Zhou Yu''s army may be in trouble after a while.


    When Cheng Pu sent sun han to escort the grain, he had already considered that Liu Xiu might make an issue on the grain road. He had asked sun han to drive day and night, so that sun Han could be on guard. He didn''t expect that he finally won.


    Sun Han looked nervous and said in a loud voice: "general Cheng Pu, food has been robbed. Most of the governors are short of food. Now there''s only one more grain to transport. Open the gate first and let me enter the city. "


    "Open the gate!"


    Pu ordered that the gate of the city be opened without doubt.


    "Click, click!"


    With Cheng Pu''s order, the suspension bridge of Chaisang gate was put down. Chaisang is an important and strategic town in the east of the Yangtze River. It is not only a strong city, but also a moat outside the city wall. Because of this, Huang Zu led 20000 troops to attack, but did not conquer.


    "Bang Dang!"


    The suspension bridge, nearly two feet wide, fell to the ground.


    "Thank you, general Cheng Pu!"


    Sun Han clasped his fist, waved and brought his soldiers into the city. The soldiers came to the city one after another, when Zhao Yun and sun Han came to the place where the suspension bridge was. Zhao Yun eyes a Lin, sonorous a pull out the waist sword, struggling to chop.


    "Chaka!"


    The rope that tied the suspension bridge was cut off.


    "Signal!"


    Zhao Yun ordered, the soldiers around him immediately ordered.


    "Whew!"


    Sharp voice, resounding through the air. With the sound of an arrow from Miyazaki County, the army suddenly burst out of Miyazaki. Huang Zu''s army swarmed out and rushed to Chaisang city.


    "Dong! Dong


    The sound of drums, powerful and high pitched, helped to increase the offensive of Jingzhou soldiers.


    Cheng Pu stands on the city tower, hits the female wall with a fist, and scolds Sheng Niang. When he heard the sound of the arrow, he knew that he had been hit. He had ordered to pull up the suspension bridge in the shortest time, but the rope of the suspension bridge was cut off and could not be pulled up, and the gate could not be stopped any more.


    "Rush down, drive the enemy out and guard the gate."


    Cheng Pu is so anxious that he pulls out his sword and rushes down the city, intending to stop the Jingzhou soldiers. Han Dang is anxious and rushes down the tower quickly. He also takes his soldiers to the gate where the suspension bridge is located.


    In their hearts, they both hated sun Han.


    It is a shame that sun Han, a son of the sun family, should surrender to Liu Xiu.


    Zhao Yun took 400 soldiers to guard the gate of the town. His soldiers were ready. Their task is to wait until Huang Zu''s army arrives. Not long after, the soldiers from the city tower rushed over. Zhao Yun led his soldiers to defend the city gate.


    "Hold the gate of the city and never step back."


    Zhao Yun roared, his dragon gall bright silver gun constantly waved, gun tip flashing, constantly killing Jiang Dongbing.


    "Sun Han, die!"


    Han dangti kills sun Han. When he sees sun Han, he is fierce.


    Sun Han who dare to fight with Han Dang, he pedals back two steps, want to avoid Han Dang''s killing move. But the moment he retreated, a Jiangdong soldier touched it and stabbed it.


    "PoofThe tip of the knife goes into sun Han''s chest, and sun Han is killed directly.


    Zhao Yun''s eyes fell on Han Dang and roared: "seek death, kill!" His gun power suddenly changed, gun tip like a phoenix in the air, and then killed to Han Dang.


    "Ding! Ding! Ding


    The tip of the gun constantly collides with Han Dang''s blade, and Han Dang keeps retreating, looking horrified.


    He couldn''t resist the other side''s shooting.


    Fortunately, a steady stream of Jiangdong soldiers rushed up and blocked Zhao Yun''s attack. Otherwise, Han Dang would be killed by Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun didn''t pursue him, but stayed at the gate of the city.


    The two sides fought at the gate of the suspension bridge, and the battle became more intense.


    "General Zhao, Zhang Shuo is here. You have worked hard."


    Zhang Shuo killed over, he led Jiangxia''s vanguard arrived, quickly joined the regiment. With Zhang Shuo''s army entering, the situation at the gate of the city changed immediately. Jingzhou soldiers pressed step by step and quickly entered the city.


    "Chen is here, kill!"


    Chen is full of intention to kill, and the destruction of the city is imminent. When he has a great opportunity to make contributions, Chen will not miss it.


    Two people left and right, quickly into the city.


    With Jiangxia''s army breaking the city, Zhao Yun and his soldiers have completed their mission. He no longer tried his best to lead the soldiers to kill in the city. With the sound of war drums getting closer and closer, Huang Zu personally led the army to arrive and surrounded Chaisang city.


    In the city, Cheng Pu and Han Dang meet.


    Han Dang''s eyes were solemn, and he said in a loud voice: "de Mou, I can''t stop it. Chaisang couldn''t keep Huang Zu''s army in the city. Come on, let''s pull back and break through immediately. We can''t be trapped in Chaisang. "


    Cheng Pu has a strong hatred in his eyes, and he is not willing to, but even if there are thousands of unwilling, at this moment, he can not recover the decadent situation. Cheng Pu clenched his fist and said in a loud voice, "retreat, retreat to AI county."


    "No, we can''t retreat to AI County, because we may be ambushed on the way. Withdraw, we withdraw into Lujiang County. "


    Cheng Pu turned his eyes and made a decision.


    Grain was intercepted on the way. On the way to AI County, there may be ambush in Jingzhou. He retreated to Lujiang County to stabilize the situation. At the same time, Zhou Yu couldn''t get a firm foothold in Yuzhang County, so he could go to Nanchang County.


    If we don''t meet with Zhou Yu now, it won''t have much influence. It''s the best choice.


    The army turned and headed for the north gate.


    Cheng Pu led the army out of the north gate and went straight to Xunyang County in Lujiang County.


    Huang Zu took charge of Chaisang and soon took control of the situation.


    The prefect''s office is in the Yamen.


    Huang zuduan sits at the top, while Zhang Shuo, Chen Jiu and other generals gather at the bottom.


    Huang Zu''s eyes fell on Zhao Yun and said excitedly, "this battle is thanks to General Zhao. I can''t take Chaisang without you opening the gate. To conquer Chaisang means to attack Jiangdong with a bridgehead. You can attack Lujiang in the north and Yuzhang in the south. "


    Zhao Yun smiles a little and says with a straight face: "Huang Taishou, xiugongzi leads ten thousand soldiers stationed in AI county. He has been surrounded by fifteen thousand legions of Zhou Yu. The situation is dangerous. Please send the soldiers to support the situation in AI county. "


    Huang Zu and Liu Xiu are allies, and his son is under Liu Xiu''s command. Without any hesitation, Huang Zu said in a deep voice: "I need a lot of troops to control Chaisang. I''ll give you 5000 soldiers. What do you think? "


    Twenty thousand troops under Huang Zu''s command have been transferred five thousand, and there are still fifteen thousand soldiers left, which is enough to stabilize the situation. Moreover, Huang Zu''s water army was on the Yangtze River, so he could dispatch troops to support Chaisang at any time.


    The transfer of 5000 soldiers has little effect.


    Zhao Yun showed a grateful look on his face and said: "thank you, Huang Taishou. Time is pressing. Yun will be ready to leave soon."


    Huang Zu did not detain him. He said, "Zhang Shuo, you sent five thousand soldiers to General Zhao and sent him to AI county to support him."


    "No!"


    Zhang Shuo nodded and took Zhao Yun to the barracks.

 Chapter 227

    AI County, in the city.


    Half a day later, the place where the wall of the South Gate collapsed gradually expanded. In another half day, maybe a section of the wall outside the south gate will collapse completely. Once the city wall completely collapsed, Zhou Yu''s soldiers would rush into the city.


    Liu Xiu''s hands supported the women''s wall, and his eyes showed a trace of dignity.


    Today, there is still no news from Chai sang, which is Liu Xiu''s biggest worry. In fact, his withdrawal from AI county was not a failure or a major event.


    What Liu Xiu worried about was whether Chaisang''s war would succeed.


    Chai sang won and the whole situation was alive. Even if he was in trouble for the time being, it didn''t matter.


    On the contrary, if Chai sang can''t conquer, Zhou Yu''s rear is as stable as Mount Tai, and Liu Xiu can''t pose a threat to Zhou Yu.


    Deng Zhan stood next to Liu Xiushen and said, "Lord, the soldiers in the army have been arranged properly. The direction of our retreat is set at the north gate. Considering that there may be ambush outside the north gate, there will be 1000 soldiers as the vanguard to open the way, and then the army will move forward. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "hold on a little longer. Maybe there will be a turn for the better soon."


    Deng Zhan looks dignified outside the city with a heavy heart.


    At noon, Zhou Yu''s soldiers began to have lunch. After lunch, they will attack again.


    It''s just a matter of time.


    Zhou Yu strengthened his offensive in the afternoon. The rumble of the impact sound, one after another sounded. A piece of stone across the sky, constantly falling on the wall.


    The wall of the south gate can clearly feel the shaking and vibration of the wall.


    "Boom!"


    With a loud noise, part of the tower collapsed.


    All the walls outside the south gate have been exposed to the eyes of Jiang Dongbing.


    "Dong! Dong! "


    The battle drum is beating outside the city.


    Wave after wave of Jiangdong soldiers launched an attack.


    Zhou Yu stood outside the city with a relaxed look and a look of expectation in his eyes. He murmured, "which side of the city gate are you going to break through? In my opinion, it should be the south gate. Through the south gate, you can get rid of the current predicament by going south to join Huang Zhong. If you break through from other city gates, you will not have this advantage. My army is stationed in the south gate. The strength of the army is on the surface. There will be no ambush, and it will be more conducive to your March. I''m looking forward to your breakthrough in the south gate. "


    In the city, Liu Xiu saw that he could not resist, and finally ordered to withdraw.


    The defenders of the South Gate retreated at last. When they retreated, Liu Xiu had led a large army to the gate of the north gate.


    "Boom!"


    The gate of the city was wide open, and the vanguard troops who broke through the encirclement took the lead to rush out. After a thousand vanguards rushed out, Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan, Tai Shici and the army began to break through.


    The news of Liu Xiu''s breakthrough from the north gate spread to Zhou Yu.


    Zhou Yu was surprised to learn the news.


    North gate!


    Liu Xiu went to the north gate, which was really a puzzling choice.


    "Do you want to join Chaisang and huangzu and attack Chaisang?"


    Zhou Yu''s eyes narrowed and ordered to hunt him down.


    Liu Xiu retreated quickly.


    Liu Xiu''s vanguard met Zhou Yu''s ambush soldiers, but Liu Xiu''s soldiers had strong fighting capacity, and it was not that they were in a panic to escape, and they were not strong enough. After a fight between the two sides, Zhou Yu''s soldiers were completely defeated after only a little delay, and no Jingzhou soldiers were left.


    The army broke through and ran to Chaisang.


    Zhou Yu led the army and couldn''t let go.


    As soon as the two sides withdrew and pursued each other, Zhou Yu had no intention of letting Liu Xiu go, and always followed.


    However, Liu Xiu made preparations early. His soldiers didn''t carry many things. Each soldier only carried three days of dry food and a little water, but nothing else. As long as he got to Chaisang, there would be food. Liu Xiu would not let the food affect the speed of the March.


    At night, the army stopped for a rest.


    All the soldiers were resting where they were. There was no camp.


    Taishici sat beside Liu Xiu, ate a mouthful of dry food, drank a mouthful of hot water, and said, "young master Xiu, how do you feel about running away in a mess? I was chased by your army and ran away. In a twinkling of an eye, you were killed by Zhou Yu and ran away


    "It''s not a panic run, it''s a strategic retreat to avoid Zhou Yu for the time being," Liu said


    Tai Shici said with a smile: "up to now, isn''t he in a hurry? Mr. Xiu once said that the situation might be reversed in the next moment. But after such a long time, even the governor has begun to beat the water dog. How can the situation controlled by xiugongzi still be so bad? "


    Liu xiudao: "Tai Shici, no one knows the final result until the end."


    Tai Shici smiles and sits with his eyes closed. At the moment, Tai Shici was very comfortable. Someone took revenge for him.


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, a sentry came quickly, looking hasty.Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "what''s the matter? Is Zhou Yu''s army catching up again? "


    After hearing this, Tai Shici was convinced that Zhou Yu was coming again. He got up and patted his ass and said with a smile, "let''s go. It seems that most governors will not give up this evening. They will definitely continue to pursue."


    The soldier shook his head and reported: "in front of the official road leading to Chaisang, there is an army. This army is coming. We dare to come. However, the specific situation of this army is not clear. We do not know whether it is an enemy or a friend. "


    "Click!"


    In his heart, Tai Shici suddenly had a bad feeling.


    Liu xiuphen told the soldiers to be on guard, and told them to go to inquire for information again.


    "Newspaper!"


    After that, another sentry came back. This soldier is a face of joy, shouting: "my Lord, good news, Zhao Yun back."


    "Hoo


    Liu Xiu''s face was full of joy.


    Zhao Yun is back!


    It means that the war in Chaisang has come to an end.


    Finally!


    It''s finally a success!


    "Da! Dada


    A sound of walking, from far to near, in the light of the fire, a white figure quickly came to Liu Xiu''s side and stopped. Zhao Yun turned over and dismounted. He said with his fists in his arms, "master Xiu, Zhao Yun has fulfilled his mission."


    How can taishici fulfill his mission? Don''t insult what mission!


    Liu Xiu asked, "OK, OK, just come back."


    At this moment, Liu Xiu''s heart was extremely excited, and finally won, and the plan was finally completed.


    Zhao Yun was also very excited. He reported: "on the way to Chaisang, he happened to meet Jiang Dongbing who was escorting grain to zhouyu camp. At that time, I attacked this grain brigade, and then disguised as the attacked grain brigade and withdrew to Chaisang city. I made an agreement with Huang Zu to cheat him to open the gate, so he attacked. After the gate was opened, Huang Zu led his army to attack Chaisang. "


    After a pause, Zhao Yun said: "Chaisang is under the control of Huang Zu. The Jiangdong soldiers stationed in Chaisang have gone to Lujiang County in the north. This time, Huang Zu gave 5000 soldiers. Because the food was on the road, I arranged for hundreds of soldiers to deliver the food. "


    "You''ve done a great job. You''ve come in time."


    Liu Xiu''s excitement is hard to suppress. It''s the most appropriate time for Zhao Yun to come back.


    Tess stood aside, his face frozen.


    Lost!


    Zhou Yu must have failed.


    He finally understood the meaning of Liu Xiu''s so-called turning the situation around at the next moment. It turned out that what Liu Xiu was looking forward to was not Huang Zhong coming to the rescue, but the reinforcements waiting to come back after taking Chaisang. Chaisang fell, Zhou Yu''s base camp was lost, and the situation changed immediately.


    Liu Xiu took a look at Tai Shici and didn''t fight with him. He summoned the generals to discuss the strategy of attacking Zhou Yu. Now Liu Xiu is surrounded by nearly 15000 people, who are even more worried about the victory of the capture of Chaisang. Instead of being demoralized, they are full of fighting spirit.


    The generals in the army have been greatly encouraged by the news.


    The news of Chaisang''s fall spread all over the army.


    After discussion, Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan, Zhao Yun and others gave orders, and then the soldiers began to take action.


    On the official road, the bonfires crackled and burned, dispersing the darkness and emitting heat. Liu Xiu''s army, no longer in the dark to continue on the road, but temporarily stopped moving forward, a good rest in place, quietly waiting for Zhou Yu''s army to catch up.


    The final fight between the two sides is imminent.


    For Liu Xiu, the present situation has come to an end.

 Chapter 228

    At night, Zhou Yu''s army was on their way against the darkness.


    After conquering AI County, Liu Xiu fled to Chaisang, and Zhou Yu took advantage of the victory to pursue him and beat down Shuigou. Zhou Yu''s idea is very simple. His army pursues while winning. No matter how hard he works, he is better than Liu Xiu. Even if he consumes physical strength, he will kill Liu Xiu.


    As long as Liu Xiu can''t run, he will lose.


    Once Liu Xiu was defeated, he captured him alive or killed him. The situation in Jingzhou and Jiangdong will be reversed.


    Up to now, Zhou Yu did not dare to underestimate Liu Xiu. With his own strength, Liu Xiu was able to persuade Huang Zu of Jiangxia to attack Jiangdong. Besides, he made Yuzhang County turn upside down.


    Liu Xiu''s energy poses a great threat to Jiangdong.


    As long as Liu Xiu is killed or captured alive, Jingzhou will surely suffer a heavy blow.


    Lu Meng looks a little tired, but his spirit is very excited. Hearing the report from the soldiers that Liu Xiu was twenty miles away, and that Liu Xiu''s army had stopped to rest, Lu Meng looked even more excited.


    The same is true of Ling Tong, who hates Liu Xiu even more.


    When he failed to challenge Liu Xiu in Wu County, he lost face. This time, he wanted to get all the humiliation back.


    The army was on their way against the cold wind, and torches scattered the night sky.


    The journey of 20 Li is not far or near, but it took Zhou Yu''s soldiers an hour and a half to finish.


    When Zhou Yu arrived, he was surprised that Liu Xiu did not retreat.


    Under the protection of the soldiers, Zhou Yu came to the front. He looked at Liu Xiu''s team and said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, you won''t escape this time. Are you going to surrender?"


    Liu Xiu waited for Zhou Yu to come and said with a smile, "brother Gongjin, are you willing to surrender to me?"


    "You''re kidding. How can I surrender?" As soon as Zhou Yu brushed his sleeve, he said confidently, "you lost AI county and fled in confusion. In this battle, you are the one who failed. I can only win, not lose. "


    Liu Xiu chuckled and replied, "brother Gongjin said well, but what you said is what I want to say. In this battle, you are the loser, not me. I can only win, not lose. "


    When Zhou Yu heard the speech, his heart became tense.


    Liu Xiu suddenly stopped and said this. The situation is not right.


    Is it Liu Xiu''s bluff.


    Zhou Yu rode on his horse and sneered: "if you can win, you won''t run away from Xiuxian. You must have already led the army to fight against Bendu. You''re just talking now. You''re making a mystery. "


    Liu Xiu said: "brother Gongjin''s words are very unfounded. Why try to be brave. Isn''t brother Gongjin curious why I stopped? "


    Zhou Yu said, "all ears!"


    Zhou Yu was very confused about the reason and purpose of Liu Xiu''s stop.


    Liu Xiu did not immediately say, but said: "brother Gongjin, do you know why I retreat to Chaisang instead of to the south of Yuzhang county?"


    Zhou Yu snorted and said flatly, "you retreat to Chaisang County just to join Huang Zu and attack Chaisang. At the same time, we should attract the army of the governor to avoid interfering in the war in the south of Yuzhang county. "


    "No! It''s a big mistake "


    LIU Xiu raised his voice and said in a loud voice:" the reason why he withdrew to Chaisang was that I had already sent soldiers to Chaisang to attack Chaisang with Huang Zu. "


    "Because we didn''t get the news from Chaisang, we couldn''t decide whether we would win or not, so we had to withdraw from AI county."


    "We retreated all the way because we had to wait for the news from Chaisang."


    Liu Xiu looked confident and said: "now, I''ve got the news that Chaisang has fallen. Cheng Pu, who is stationed in Chaisang, has moved to Lujiang County. Brother Gongjin, I took your old nest. Now you are really alone. "


    Brush!


    Zhou Yu''s face suddenly turned black.


    In the heart, is a spasm, heart pain is severe.


    "It''s impossible. Chaisang can''t be defeated." Zhou Yu snorted and said, "Chai sang has his own commander''s army. Even if he is besieged by you and Huang Zu, he can''t be easily defeated."


    Liu Xiu said: "brother Gongjin, don''t you doubt that the latest batch of grain hasn''t been sent to your army? That''s because the soldiers you escorted the food were intercepted by the soldiers I sent. After they killed the grain soldiers, they disguised as grain soldiers and went to Chaisang city. They cheated to open the city gate and led Huang Zu''s army into the city. Brother Gongjin, do you understand now? "


    Zhou Yu''s mind was quick. After listening, he understood everything.


    The news should be true!


    These days, Zhou Yu is also waiting for food. He always thinks that because of the blizzard weather, the convoy of food has been delayed on the road. Unexpectedly, it was Liu Xiu who intervened, leading to the destruction of the whole army.


    "No, I haven''t failed yet."


    "As long as we defeat Liu Xiu, everything can be reversed."


    Zhou Yu''s eyes were shining with the essence of Taoism. He took a deep breath, pulled out his sword with a clang, and ordered: "Liu Xiu is in front of him, kill Liu Xiu, raise the official level three, kill him."Zhou Yu ordered the soldiers to move forward.


    "Kill


    Holding a big knife, LV Meng rushed to Liu Xiu.


    "Liu Xiu, take your life."


    Ling Tong roared. His goal was very simple. He suddenly attacked and killed Liu Xiu.


    "If you want to kill my third brother, you must pass me first."


    Huang Hu, holding a drum jar hammer, stepped out and stood in front of Liu Xiu. He stares at the approaching LV Meng and Ling Tong, grins, and then greets them with a golden hammer.


    "Capture Zhou Yu alive and defeat Jiangdong army."


    "It''s today to make contributions, sons. Kill me."


    Deng Zhan''s sword pointed to the front and gave the order to fight. With Deng Zhan''s order, the soldiers in the army took action and rushed forward with weapons.


    In the dark, the soldiers on both sides fought desperately.


    In the confrontation between the two armies, Liu Xiu and Zhou Yu retreated separately.


    Huang Hu, holding a golden hammer in a drum jar, faced Ling Tong and LV Meng without fear.


    "Cape hammer!"


    After Huang Hu killed two Jiangdong soldiers, the golden hammer roared to LV Meng. At the moment of weapon impact, LV Meng takes advantage of the situation and retreats. He is not a fool. He suffered a loss on Huang Hu''s hammer last time. This time, he is not willing to fight foolishly.


    Rao is so, Lu Meng also didn''t unload all the strength, was shocked blood churn.


    Ling Tong faced Huang Hu. When he was ready to fight, he saw Huang Hu smashing a soldier''s chest with a hammer. Immediately, he was so scared that he gave up the fight, turned around and withdrew. He did not dare to fight with Huang Hu.


    On the battlefield, the yellow tiger, like a killing God, constantly hammered Jiangdong soldiers. Rao is so, still have a batch of soldiers brave not afraid of death, constantly flocking to the yellow tiger.


    "Zhou Yu, you are in the trap."


    Suddenly, on the left side of the official road, on a barren hillside, a torch was lit. Soldiers in Jingzhou rushed down with torches in their hands.


    When Zhou Yu saw it, he looked surprised.


    How is that possible?


    The official road to the right of his position, how can there be ambush. In the light of the fire, Zhou Yu didn''t really see Liu Xiu''s situation, but he was clear about Liu Xiu''s troops. Liu Xiu''s command, how suddenly emerged an army.


    "Zhou Yu died in AI County today."


    In a flash, another torch was lit on the right side of the official road. One by one Jingzhou soldiers with torches, roaring out, quickly approaching the battlefield.


    Jiangdong soldiers, who were fighting with Jingzhou soldiers, were defeated immediately after being attacked.


    Zhou Yu''s eyes were wide open. He suddenly exclaimed. His eyes showed a sudden look. He lost his voice and said, "Huang Zu, it''s Huang Zu who supports some soldiers." In an instant, Zhou Yu understood.


    At the beginning, Zhou Yu also wanted to defeat Liu Xiu with his military superiority. However, he now understands that it is impossible to defeat Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu''s military strength is no less than her.


    "Lost!"


    "This battle is defeated!"


    Zhou Yu was anxious. He thought quickly about how to retreat. Liu Xiu said that it was impossible for Zhou Yu to withdraw to Chaisang. The only way is to withdraw to AI County, but the city of AI county is destroyed and it is impossible to garrison. Zhou Yu''s only choice was to pass through AI county and then withdraw to Nanchang, the capital of Yuzhang county.


    With the help of Nanchang''s forces and the city, and then entangle and fight with Liu Xiu.


    "Withdraw, withdraw immediately."


    Zhou Yu wanted to understand, without any hesitation, ordered to retreat.


    LV Meng and Ling Tong came to Zhou Yu''s side and surrounded him to retreat. Jiang Dongbing heard the order, but also quickly abandoned Jingzhou soldiers, turned back.


    Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu determined that Zhou Yu did not ambush on the way back.


    Therefore, Liu Xiu ordered Zhou Yu''s retreat to be covered up.


    After defeating Zhou Yu this time, Liu Xiu naturally won''t make Zhou Yu feel better. He and his thoughts are the same as those of Zhou Yu''s pursuit before. He wants to beat the water dog and completely destroy Zhou Yu''s power.

 Chapter 229

    Shortly after Liu Xiu defeated Zhou Yu in the north of Yuzhang County, Huang Zhong led his army to conquer Shiyang County on December 8. Sun Ben withdrew from Shiyang county and headed north to Nanchang County. Huang Zhong led the army to pursue Yichun county and Xinfu County, and led the army to approach Nanchang County.


    So far, all the counties in the South and the west of Yuzhang County fell into Liu Xiu''s hands.


    At the same time, the news of Jiangxia huangzu''s attack on Chaisang also spread.


    Jingzhou was shocked by the news.


    ¡­¡­


    Xiangyang, the prefect''s residence.


    Liu biaotan sat right above, with a thick smile in his turbid eyes. Continuous good news back, Liu Biao has been laughing, the last one or two months, Jingzhou won the most time.


    Conquer AI County!


    Conquer Luling County!


    Defeat Tai Shici!


    Defeat sun Ben!


    Capture Chaisang!


    ¡­¡­


    A series of news are all in favor of Jingzhou.


    Liu Biao looked at the generals under his command and said in a deep voice: "in this battle, Huang Zu defeated Chaisang and won an unprecedented victory. Xiuer also won most of Yuzhang county and won a complete victory. Reward for meritorious service and punish for mistakes are the rules. Huang Zu and Xiu''er made great contributions to the war. How should they be rewarded


    Cai Mao stood up and said, "my Lord, I don''t think it''s appropriate to praise you for the time being. The reason is simple: the war is still going on. Now I''m rewarded. In a twinkling of an eye, after xiugongzi or Huang Taishou have made new achievements, how can I reward them? In fact, after the end of the war, the commendation can be arranged verbally


    After listening, Liu Biao nodded and agreed with CAI Mao. Cai Mao''s suggestion is not to give no reward, but to give a temporary reprieve, and also to give verbal reward.


    Kuai Yue stood up and said, "Lord, although we can not give rewards for the time being. But I think I can inform the counties of Jingzhou about the news from the front line, so as to inspire people and make the people of Jingzhou happy together. "


    "Good! That''s good advice. "


    Liu Biao smell speech, direct nod approbation.


    Kuai Yue smiles. His purpose is very simple, to increase Liu Xiu''s prestige through propaganda. After talking with his officials, Liu Biao decided on the plan and immediately implemented it.


    ¡­¡­


    Jiangdong, wireless.


    Sun Quan sat in his study in the prefect''s mansion, his face dignified.


    Sun Quan was also very anxious when he lost the battle in the front line. When the news of the defeat of Zhou Yu and sun Ben came back, Sun Quan became even more nervous.


    In the study, Sun Quan called Zhang Zhao, Zhu Zhi, Lu Xun and others to discuss the matter.


    Sun Quan looked serious and said: "Dadu governor defeated AI County, Chengpu defeated Chaisang, sunben defeated Shiyang County A series of news came, all of which were adverse to Jiangdong. I have never met such a dilemma since I inherited my foundation. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Junli are in a critical situation. What should we do? "


    Rao is Sun Quan, there is no expression on his face, but in his heart, it is ups and downs..


    From this year on, Sun Quan''s situation has been very difficult.


    At the beginning, Zhang Dan and Zhou Tai were killed, which caused Sun Quan to lose two confidants. Then Lu Su died in Liu Xiu''s hands, and then Tai Shici was captured again.


    A series of blows almost made Sun Quan unable to bear.


    As the head of the civil service, Zhang Zhao had a sharp look in his eyes and said: "Lord, although the situation is tense, Liu Xiu''s troops are still concentrated in Yuzhang county. As long as most governors guard Nanchang County, Yuzhang county can guard. The plan for today is to dispatch troops from Lujiang County, Jiujiang county and other places to Yuzhang County for support, so as not to let Yuzhang County fall. "


    Sun Quan nodded and said, "Duke Zhang''s proposal is feasible. When he comes down, he will immediately order the implementation."


    Zhu Zhi, an old minister under Sun Quan''s command, thought for a moment and said, "Lord, if the governor meets any situation in Nanchang County, the situation will be tense. In my humble opinion, Nanchang county must not be lost. In order to ensure the safety of Nanchang County, I think I can only seek foreign aid. "


    "Foreign aid!"


    Sun Quan''s eyes brightened when he heard the speech.


    Sun Quan''s eyes twinkled with dazzling brilliance and said, "Jun Li, do you mean to seek the help of Cao Cao?"


    Zhu Zhi nodded and said, "my Lord is wise!"


    After a pause, Zhu Zhi continued: "as far as Cao Cao is concerned, Liu Biao''s increasing power is also a great threat to him, so Cao Cao can''t sit back and ignore him. Lord, you can say in the table that you will submit to Cao Cao and ask him to send troops to attack Jingzhou. As long as Cao Cao sent troops, Jingzhou would be in a hurry and Liu Xiu''s troops would retreat. We can even unite with Cao Cao to attack Jingzhou. "


    Zhang Zhao stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "in the present situation, we can only unite with Cao Cao."


    Sun Quan''s eyes were dignified and said: "it''s a good move to unite with Cao Cao, but it''s also a dangerous move. We must grasp a degree. If we invite Cao Cao to destroy Jingzhou, we in Jiangdong will also be in danger. "


    Sun Quan understood the truth that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold.


    Once Jingzhou is gone, it is only time for Jiangdong to perish.Zhu Zhi looked solemn and said, "the initiative is in the Lord''s hands. If Jingzhou is in great danger, the Lord will turn his forces against Cao Cao. "


    Sun Quan nodded, then looked at Zhang Zhao and said, "Mr. Zhang, send someone to Nanyang County. Please support Cao Ren of Nanyang County to attack Jingzhou."


    "No!"


    When Zhang Zhao heard the speech, he nodded.


    ¡­¡­


    Nanyang County, Wan county.


    Cao Cao''s army was stationed in Wan county.


    The chief General in charge of Wan county is Cao Ren. Under Cao Cao''s command, Cao Ren is a famous intellectual general. In addition, he was rigorous in his military use, which won the esteem and trust of Cao Cao.


    General house, study.


    Cao Ren is discussing the war in Jiangdong with his staff.


    Jiangdong''s news is on Cao Ren''s desk one by one. After analyzing Liu Xiu''s tactics, he couldn''t help praising him: "although Liu Xiu is young, his military tactics are flexible and treacherous. The defeat of Tai Shici and Zhou Yu is quite ingenious. When he grew up, he was a strong enemy of Sikong. "


    The staff didn''t take it seriously and said with a smile, "general, no matter how powerful Liu Xiu is, he is just a man of courage and wisdom. He can''t resist the army under the command of Sikong. Under the general situation, even if Liu Xiu was a genius, he could not resist. "


    Cao Ren said with a smile: "it''s the same truth. Now Jiangdong is defeated and in crisis. It''s a good result to fight with each other. "


    The aide shook his head and said, "general, the situation is not like two tigers fighting each other. The two sides are evenly matched and the situation is deadlocked. That is a fight between two tigers. But now the result is that Liu Xiu leads the commander to drive straight in and break through the Jiangdong army. The strength of the two sides is not equal. In some cases, it is weakening Jiangdong and strengthening Jingzhou. Jingzhou strong, also has an impact on Sikong


    Cao Ren frowned and said, "what do you mean?"


    The aide said: "please prepare for the war, prepare to harass Jingzhou, increase the pressure of Liu Biao and reduce the pressure of Sun Quan. In this way, the forces of both sides will be closer to balance. "


    Cao Ren said: "your proposal is feasible, especially Sikong is preparing to go south. Now the time is not ripe. We can only harass Jingzhou and maintain the balance between Jingzhou and Jiangdong. "


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, the soldier knocked on the door outside the study and said, "general, Ambassador Jiangdong, please see me."


    Cao Ren laughed and said, "I will go to the hall immediately."


    In the hall, Yu fan saw Cao Ren and arched his hand and said, "ride Du Wei Yu Fan and meet general Cao Ren."


    Cao Ren knew very well, but said, "what''s the matter with Yu Duwei coming to Wan county?"


    Yu Fanzheng said: "general Cao, this time I''m here, I''m asking general Cao to send troops to attack Jingzhou."


    Cao Ren, with a smile, said, "what will we do to attack Jingzhou? The fight between Jiangdong and Jingzhou is just the time for the two tigers to fight. Why should the general send troops? "


    Yu Fan said: "if the general doesn''t send troops, it is the general who will lose. First, if Jingzhou becomes bigger, it will pose a greater threat to Sikong. Second, as long as the general sends troops, our Lord Sun Quan is willing to submit himself to Cao Sikong and obey his orders. "


    With these words, Cao Ren had a smile on his face.


    Cao Ren is very clear that Sun Quan''s accession to the throne is superficial Kung Fu, but superficial Kung Fu is also very important. He nodded and said, "I''ll know all about Jiangdong. Go back and tell sun Taishou that he would have sent troops. "


    "Thank you, general Cao!"


    Yu Fan was very happy. He was afraid that Cao Ren would not send troops. He did not expect things to go so smoothly.

 Chapter 230

    Xinye, barracks.


    Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang took their seats in the grand account of the Chinese army.


    Today''s Liu Bei is in high spirits.


    With more than 20000 soldiers stationed in Xinye, Liu Bei no longer has to worry about the shortage of grain. In addition to the 100000 stone grain he received from Liu Xiu, the 10000 stone grain Liu Biao gave him, and the grain Xinye itself has.


    With the continuous training of 20000 troops, they all have certain combat effectiveness.


    With a smile on his face, Liu Bei said: "military division, we have food, grass and soldiers. Now everything is ready. What should we do next?"


    With soldiers and grain, Liu Bei also had an idea to expand his power.


    Zhuge Liang gently shakes the feather fan and says without hesitation: "my Lord, what we have to do now is to keep a low profile and enhance our strength."


    Liu Bei couldn''t wait to say, "don''t you send troops?"


    Zhuge Liang asked, "where does the Lord want to attack?"


    Liu Bei didn''t even think about it. He said without hesitation: "naturally, it''s to attack Cao Jun stationed in Nanyang County and drive Cao Jun out of Nanyang County. We are based in Nanyang."


    Zhuge Liang said, "my Lord, do you think you can compete with Cao Cao now? Or does the Lord think Nanyang County can stand firm? "


    A basin of cold water splashed on Liu Bei''s head.


    Liu Bei wanted to fight, but he was not stupid. He knew that with his troops, he could not compete with Cao Cao.


    Finally, Liu Bei shook his head and said, "it''s impossible to compete with Cao Cao."


    Zhuge Liang looked pleased and said slowly, "if only my lord understood, Cao Cao occupied half of the country and had a strong army. It is impossible to compete with Cao Cao with 20000 troops. The most important thing is that Nanyang''s four battlefields can not be used as a foundation. The Lord has no foundation. The supply of grain and military resources is the problem. Therefore, the Lord can only wait for the opportunity now. "


    "What chance?" Liu Bei asked.


    Zhuge Liang''s eyes narrowed, a light flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "an opportunity to be in Jingzhou, or an opportunity to be in Yizhou. Jingzhou or Yizhou is the place for the Lord to stand. "


    Liu Bei nodded and understood Zhuge Liang''s words.


    Liu Bei said, "there is one more thing, military strategist. Liu Xiulian conquered Jiangdong, and Jiangdong was in crisis. When this news reaches Cao Ren''s ears, he should not sit back and ignore it. Maybe he will attack Xinye with his army. "


    Zhuge Liang said: "my Lord, I''ve been worried a lot. When Cao Ren gets the news, he will be harassed at most. Cao Cao''s army is not accustomed to water war. In the case of inadequate preparation, Cao Cao will not easily start the war, so it is impossible for Cao Ren to go south on a large scale. Cao Ren''s troops harassed Liu Biao at most, which made him worried. Then he asked Liu Biao to transfer Liu Xiu back to Xiangyang to resist, so as to relieve the pressure of Jiangdong and create a situation of rivalry between the two tigers. "


    "Newspaper!"


    A loud voice came from outside the hall.


    A general in armor, silver helmet and sword came in. He is dignified, handsome, eyebrows, has a strong Yingqi, give people an impression of high spirited.


    This man is Chen Dao, Liu Bei''s confidant.


    Under Liu Bei''s command, there are 20000 elite soldiers, but there is also a pro guard elite, which is the White army led by Chen Zhi.


    Chen Dao led the White army.


    "See you, Lord!"


    Chen Dao walked into the hall and saluted respectfully.


    With a faint smile on his face, Liu Bei asked, "why did you come here?"


    Chen zhengse said: "just received the news, Cao Ren of Wan county has signs of sending troops. Xinye and Jiyang at the junction of the place, often friction occurs


    Liu Bei said: "it''s OK to continue to inquire about the news. As long as Cao Ren didn''t attack Xinye on a large scale, he didn''t have to worry about it. "


    "No!"


    Chen Dao nodded, then turned back.


    Guan Yu took the words and said: "military commander, Cao Ren''s army has signs of sending troops. Although the military division''s analysis is reasonable, what if Cao Ren suddenly attacks? "


    Zhuge Liang said: "general Guan is worried too much. Even if Cao Ren''s army suddenly attacks, our troops are enough to cope with it. So there''s no need to worry about Cao Ren. "


    Zhang Fei hummed: "it''s meaningless to confront Cao Ren. It''s better to send troops."


    Liu Bei said: "third brother, you know how to fight and kill."


    "What big brother said is that I know the military division is right." Zhang Fei mumbled and nodded.


    Zhuge Liang gently shook the feather fan in his hand and said: "Lord, the focus now is Xiangyang. I''m sure Liu Xiu will be transferred back, and then there will be a good play. Now, we just need to watch the fire from the other side and pay attention to the news of Xiangyang. "


    Liu Bei said: "the military adviser thinks that there will be a good play?"


    Zhuge Liang chuckled and said his inference. After listening to it, Liu Bei felt very happy.


    ¡­¡­


    The prefect''s residence, Nanchang County.


    Zhou Yu and sun Ben became brothers. They met in Nanchang County and were temporarily stationed in Nanchang County. Zhou Yu lost to Liu Xiu this time and became a defeated general. He could not blame sun Ben. Moreover, Liu Xiu and Huang Zhong''s military presence brought great pressure to Nanchang.At this time, Luling County, Jiujiang county and other places sent troops to support. Even when Zhou Yu got the news, Sun Quan declared himself to Cao Cao and was willing to obey his orders.


    How proud Zhou Yu was that he had to let the people from different counties come to rescue him.


    In order to turn the situation around, Sun Quan had to submit himself to the throne.


    A series of things, let Zhou Yu heart extremely uncomfortable, his self-esteem, can not bear such a situation. Zhou Yu has called together his generals to discuss how to defeat Liu Xiu.


    After repeated deduction, Liu Xiu''s army failed in the end.


    In the hall, LV Meng scratched his head and said, "Dudu, the soldiers transferred from each county have arrived in Nancheng county and can attack Liu xiulai. It''s better to attack by force than to plan for a war. "


    "If you don''t plan before the battle, once you are defeated, you will be defeated like a mountain. It''s not advisable."


    Zhou Yu shook his head and refused. He didn''t want to make a strong attack, and it might not work.


    Ling Tong turned his eyes and said, "governor Du, since he can''t think of a solution, why not make trouble behind Liu Xiu? You county is Liu Xiu''s headquarters. It might be more appropriate to make trouble in you county. "


    Make trouble?


    There was a flash of light in Zhou Yu''s eyes. He had a new idea in his head. He quickly turned his mind, a new plan, in Zhou Yu''s brain rapid prototyping, and then perfect.


    Zhou Yu said: "this governor thought of a new strategy. He fought with no blood to defuse Liu Xiu''s offensive."


    Lu Meng said, "please show it to the governor of Dadu!"


    Before, Zhou Yu thought of a series of strategies. When he deduced, there were some difficult links in the middle, so that he had to give up the execution. Zhou Yu thought of a new strategy. LV Meng didn''t have much expectation in his heart. He just waited for Zhou Yu to make a deduction.


    Ling Tong''s eyes are full of expectations. As long as he has the opportunity, he always has to give it a try.


    Zhou Yu was confident in his eyes and said, "this time, the plan will be able to be deduced."


    "Zhou Yu said:" to defeat Liu Xiu, we must use stratagem. "


    After hearing this, LV Meng made a careful calculation in his heart.


    Ling Tong, sun Ben and the rest of the generals were also deducing Zhou Yu''s plan.


    They deduced step by step, and then combined with the actual situation of Jingzhou. Finally, LV Meng took the lead in saying: "this plan of the governor of Dadu is feasible, but he thought that one person must be sent to Xiangyang to preside over the overall situation, so as to ensure the implementation of the plan."


    Ling Tong nodded and agreed: "Lv Meng''s suggestion will be accepted by the general.". Only when you go there, you have to master the latest information and make adjustments to the overall situation. "


    As soon as Zhou Yu brushed his sleeve, he said, "this time, I will go to Xiangyang in person."


    "Ah


    Lu Meng and Ling Tong exclaimed with surprise.


    Lu Meng refused: "as the commander-in-chief of the army, the commander-in-chief of Dadu can''t easily take risks. The governor of Dadu is willing to go to Xiangyang and take charge of the Xiangyang situation. "


    Ling Tong echoed: "the end of will also do not agree with the governor himself to."


    Zhou Yu solemnly said: "the plan is made by the governor. The governor knows every link of the plan best. It is the most appropriate for the governor to go there in person."


    Lu Meng said: "the governor of Dadu is willing to go. As the commander-in-chief of the army, Dadu must take charge of the war in Yuzhang county. Don''t you believe in the last general? "


    Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "you are flexible and have good martial arts skills. Naturally, I believe you."


    Lu Meng said: "since the governor of Dadu believes in the general, let the general go to Xiangyang. It''s also very interesting to be able to fight with Liu Xiu and get him into trouble. "


    Zhou Yu was silent for a moment and said, "if that''s the case, it''s up to you."

 Chapter 231

    Jingzhou army, big account of Chinese Army!


    Liu Xiu, Huang Zhong, Pang Tong, Deng Zhan, Ma Liang and other civil and military people gathered here.


    Liu Xiuse said: "Zhou Yu guarded Nanchang County, surrounded by Lujiang County, Jiujiang county and other military forces. Now, it is very difficult for our more than 20000 troops to drive straight into Nanchang. It doesn''t make much sense to attack Nanchang County. Now we have to consider other ways to break the city. "


    The army was stationed outside the city of Nanchang County, and Liu Xiu had been thinking about how to break the city.


    When Pang Tong heard the words, he said: "Lord, it''s December now, and the weather is getting colder and colder. It''s very difficult to attack cities. "


    "I think we can take three ways to force Zhou Yu to take the initiative."


    "Ma Liang nodded. He was responsible for sorting out the internal affairs of each county. There were too many things.


    Liu Xiu and his subordinates discussed all kinds of things, and then let them leave, busy with their own affairs.


    ¡­¡­


    After the news of Cao Ren''s move came out, Xiangyang immediately became nervous.


    Officials are worried.


    Cao Cao was a hero in the world, and his elite was invincible, sweeping the north. Once Cao''s army goes south, Jingzhou is bound to be exhausted, so the officials in Jingzhou are worried.


    When Liu Biao got the news, he was also fidgety. When Liu Biao nodded, he was worried about it.


    After years of confrontation between Jingzhou and Jiangdong, a breakthrough has been made. If Liu Xiu is temporarily transferred back, once the situation gets out of control, all previous efforts will be wasted.


    Cai Mao snorted and continued: "if Liu Bei can resist Cao Ren, Jingzhou will be safe. But what if Liu Bei can''t resist and finally has to retreat? Xiangyang is bordered by Nanyang County and will be in danger immediately. "


    Speaking of this, Cai Maoyi said: "is the situation of Yuzhang county more important? Or is the overall situation of Jingzhou more important? If there is any mistake in Xiangyang, it is useless even if it has won Yuzhang county. Moreover, Mr. Xiu''s layout in Yuzhang county is that he has Huang Zhong, Pang Tong and other talents under his command. These people are not ordinary people who can stabilize the situation without major problems. "


    After listening to Cai Mao''s words, Liu Biao was already shaken. What Cai Mao moved Liu Biao was that once there was a crisis in Xiangyang, even if he captured the whole Yuzhang County, he would still lose more. The lesser of the two evils is to give up Yuzhang County rather than Xiangyang.


    Kuai Yue shakes his head. Unexpectedly, Cai Mao is like this. In order to persecute Liu Xiu, he does not hesitate to lose Jingzhou''s interests.


    Liu Biao didn''t think about it for long before he made a decision. He looked at Yi Ji and said, "Uncle Ji, send an order to Xiuer immediately to arrange the battle in Yuzhang county and return to Xiangyang."


    "No!"


    Yi Ji nodded, not sad or happy.


    When Cai Mao heard the speech, he had a strong smile in his eyes.


    In fact, the reason why Cai Mao chose to transfer Liu Xiu back was not because Cao Ren went south. From Cai Mao''s point of view, it can be concluded that although Cao''s army was active, it would not go south on a large scale. In particular, Liu Bei garrison Xinye, Cao Ren is more difficult to attack Xiangyang.


    However, Liu Xiu''s successive victories in Yuzhang county and his prestige in Jingzhou are getting higher and higher. Many generals in the army recognize Liu Xiu, which is not a good omen.


    Cai Mao wanted to weaken Liu Xiu, so he temporarily transferred Liu Xiu back. No matter what Liu Xiu does when he comes back to Xiangyang, as long as Liu Xiu does not stay in Yuzhang County, the front-line war will be in a dilemma for the time being, and Liu Xiu''s prestige will not be affected.


    After the discussion, the people left.


    After Kuai Yue got out of the prefecture, he stopped Cai Mao and said in a deep voice, "De Li, although Cao Jun has made some moves, he will not go down to Xiangyang immediately. In a short time, Xiangyang is not in danger. But you are still transferring xiugongzi back. Why? Even if you are on Cong''s side, you should consider Jingzhou. Isn''t it good for Jingzhou to broaden its territory? "


    Cai Mao said with a smile: "brother Yidu, you support Liu Xiu. Naturally, you think it''s not good to transfer Liu Xiu back. But I think it''s more appropriate to bring him back. "


    Kuai Yue shook his head and said disappointingly, "Liu Xiu will marry Huang Yueying in the future. He has a relationship with the Cai family and is also your younger generation. Don''t you think about this relationship? "


    When Cai Mao heard the speech, he sighed that he and Liu Xiu had already found it difficult to ease up. Cai Mao took a deep breath and said firmly, "I have not considered it for a long time."


    Kuai Yue said: "in this case, I will not say more, and De Li will not regret it in the future."


    Cai Mao brushed his sleeve and said, "brother Yidu, since I have done it, I will not regret it. I also warned brother Yidu that there was no need to get so close to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu is at his best now. Maybe one day, he will fall into the dust. "


    Kuai Yue arched his hand and said, "thank you for your warning. Goodbye!"


    Turning around, he boarded the carriage.


    Kuai Yue was sitting in the carriage with his brows wrinkled. Liu Xiu wanted to return to Xiangyang. The situation changed suddenly.


    In the hall just now, he didn''t want to stop him, but Liu Biao was very afraid of Cao Cao. Whenever there was any movement of Cao Cao''s army, Liu Biao had a great response. Even if he said that Cao Cao could not go south for the time being, Liu Biao could not believe it. If he prevents Liu Xiu from coming back, it may cause Liu Biao''s malice, so he can only agree.

 Chapter 232

    Outside Nanchang, Jingzhou military camp.


    The soldiers who came from Xiangyang to convey the news stood in the big tent. To the point, Liu Biao''s order was to transfer Liu Xiu back to Xiangyang.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, with a dignified look in his eyes. The news came so suddenly that Liu Xiu was not even prepared. Liu Xiu asked, "let me return to Xiangyang. Whose suggestion is it?"


    The soldier did not hide, but directly replied, "it''s the proposal put forward by commander CAI."


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he secretly hated Cai Mao''s bad deeds. He knew that this was Liu Biao''s order and there was no room for turning around. He said, "I know. I will leave for Xiangyang the day after tomorrow at the latest."


    The soldier who delivered the message was ordered to leave.


    Immediately, Liu Xiu called Huang Zhong, Deng Zhan, Pang Tong, Ma Liang and Zhao Yun into the big account.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "just received the news, Cao Ren of Nanyang County showed signs of waving troops to the south. Cai Mao suggested to his father that I should go back to take charge of the war. My father agreed to Cai Mao''s suggestion and ordered me to return to Xiangyang immediately. "


    Brush!


    When they heard the words, their faces were dignified.


    In the critical period of attacking Yuzhang County, Liu Xiu was transferred away suddenly, which had a great influence.


    Pang Tong frowned and said, "now that it''s the coldest time in winter, Cao Jun can''t really attack Jingzhou. At most, he just pretends. In particular, Cao Cao is not ready. Xiangyang''s so-called danger is just a little harassment. It''s enough to have Liu Bei in the north. Cai''s proposal to transfer the Lord back is to weaken his power and prevent him from attacking Yuzhang county. "


    After a pause, Pang Tong said, "this move of CAI Junshi has helped Zhou Yu a lot."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Cai Mao wants to weaken me all the time. His skill is really cutting corners. Especially when my father gave the order, there was no room for turning back. "


    Huang Zhong said: "can you delay time? We immediately sent troops to attack Nanchang County in the shortest time, and the Lord returned to Xiangyang. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "my father personally ordered that if I refuse to go back, or if I delay going back, the loss may be greater. Just go back, go back. And this time back to Xiangyang, we must solve the problems of the Cai family, otherwise the Cai family will always make trouble. "


    Liu Xiu added: "to call you together is to arrange the next layout of the army. After I left, the army was presided over by Huang Zhong and assisted by Deng Zhan. Pang Tong is in charge of military planning, and Ma Liang is in charge of internal affairs. "


    When they got the order, Liu Xiu said, "Hu Zi, stay here and listen to Huang Zhong''s arrangement."


    Huang Hu said: "I want to protect your safety."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "there''s no need. When I go back to Xiangyang this time, I''ll take Zilong with me. With him, no one can hurt me. Moreover, I am not a man without the strength to bind a chicken. Yuzhang county needs more people. You can make a big difference by staying. "


    Huang Hu nodded and stopped talking.


    The next day, Liu Xiu sent someone to get in touch with Chaisang huangzu and asked him to take care of AI county. If AI county or Huang Zhong''s troops encounter difficulties, they can ask Huang Zu for help.


    After dealing with the matter, Liu Xiu left Yuzhang county with Zhao Yun and Deng AI.


    After entering Changsha County, Liu Xiu went to visit Han Xuan when he passed Linxiang County, and then went all the way north.


    At the end of December, the party finally entered Xiangyang.


    On this day, it was a rare encounter with good weather.


    Sunny, although the weather is still cold, the sun, but very comfortable. It''s only half a day''s journey to Xiangyang. Before dark, Liu Xiu will certainly be able to get back, so he is not in a hurry. The three of them ride back slowly.


    "Stop!"


    Suddenly, a group of assassins dressed in black were killed on the official road, and the number was about ten. One of the leaders, covering his face and holding a long sword, roared: "are you LIU Xiu?"


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu said, "do you look like me?"


    The assassin led the way: "look at you, about 20 years old, it should be Liu Xiu. Well, it''s you. I tell you, we are here to assassinate you. "


    Deng AI pulls out his sword, but Liu Xiu stops him.


    Liu Xiu said, "you are an assassin, but are there any assassins who kill openly?"


    The leader of the assassin snorted and said, "the real assassin is an open and aboveboard assassin. Your life is going to die in my hands. Is there anything you want to say before you die? "


    Liu xiudao: "I want to say that I met a group of stupid people."


    "To die!"


    The leader of the assassin roared: "kill


    More than ten assassins in black standing on one side rushed up and rushed to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said, "Zilong, it''s up to you."


    Zhao Yun snorted and disdained to say, "it''s just a group of stupid thieves. You have excellent swordsmanship and can handle it." He said so, but he was already carrying a dragon gall silver gun and riding up. People on the horse, with the help of the power of the horse sprint, Longdan bright silver gun is amazing, gun tip swept, instantly killed two assassins.Deng AI followed Deng Zhan to learn swordsmanship and honed it on the battlefield. His swordsmanship was quite extraordinary. He drew his sword out of its sheath, roared, and galloped up. Although Deng AI was not old, he was old, calm and swift.


    Two people attack together, in an instant, the assassin is half dead.


    The leader of the assassin didn''t rush forward at all. Seeing the opportunity, he roared: "Liu Xiu is ferocious. Withdraw quickly."


    With an order, the rest of the assassins immediately turned around and flew into the forest.


    In the twinkling of an eye, except for a few bodies on the official road, there was no assassin. This group of assassins came quickly and left in a hurry.


    Zhao Yun shrugged his shoulders and said, "I''ve been assassinated, but what I''ve met is a group of waste. It''s a waste of my physical strength."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "it''s a bit strange."


    Deng AI''s face looked dignified and said, "young master, Xiao AI also feels strange. Since these assassins are assassins, they must be instructed by others, but they chose to kill them in a dignified way. It seems to be an assassination, but it gives people a sense of intention. Just a fight, but turned away. Come in a hurry, go in a hurry, no assassin will kill. Their behavior gives people the feeling that there is no silver here. It seems that they did it on purpose. "


    Zhao Yun said with a smile: "young master Xiu, when you go back to Xiangyang, the wind and rain are coming."


    Liu Xiu said helplessly: "no matter, go back to the city first, and respond to changes with no change." For this assassination, Liu Xiu couldn''t see through the situation for a while.


    This is a strange assassination.


    The party continued on their way. After returning to Xiangyang, Liu Xiu first went to see Xiangyang County Magistrate and told Xiangyang County Magistrate about the assassination to deal with it.


    Then Liu Xiu went back to the prefecture.


    Liu Xiu''s "thank you father."


    Liu xiudao said thanks, and then said something about his family, so he left.


    After getting out of the study, Liu Xiu went back to the yard and put Zhao Yun and Deng AI in the yard. After changing into clean clothes, he went out to Kuai Fu.


    The Kuai family is most aware of the situation in Xiangyang.


    Every time Liu Xiu returned to Xiangyang, he would visit Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue to inquire about the current situation. In particular, he suddenly received an order to come back to Xiangyang, a black eye on the situation, more need to consult two people.

 Chapter 233

    Kuai family, study.


    Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and Liu Xiu were seated.


    It has become a routine for Liu Xiu to visit Kuai Fu when he returns to Xiangyang. In fact, when Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue learned that Liu Xiu was coming back, they were already waiting.


    Liu Xiujin sat down and said sincerely, "Mr. zirou and Mr. Yidu, I have already known the whole story of this trip back to Xiangyang. The problem now is that Cao Ren''s troops are stationed in Nanyang County. There is always a threat in Xiangyang. I can''t stay in Xiangyang all the time. If you stay, you will be trapped in Xiangyang in disguise. "


    Liu Xiu solemnly said: "now the most important thing is how to get out of trouble? If you don''t leave Xiangyang, everything will stop. Do you have a plan to get out of trouble? "


    Kuai Liang said: "unless you can prove that Cao Ren will not go south, it is almost impossible to leave. Or, you can use your eloquence to persuade the Lord to let you go. "


    Liu Xiu shakes his head. It''s too difficult to persuade Liu Biao to let him leave.


    Kuai Yue then said, "Cai Mao just wants to trap you in Xiangyang. If Cai Mao is there, he will definitely object to your leaving. However, when it''s really dangerous, you can fake the news of Yuzhang County, saying that Yuzhang county and even Changsha County are in an emergency and can still leave. But until the end, we can''t use such a strategy. "


    Liu Xiu nodded. Kuai Yue''s analysis is reasonable.


    However, Liu xiugeng believes that there are always hidden dangers if the threat brought by Cai Mao is not solved.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "when I came back, I met a strange thing. Near Xiangyang, I met an assassin. However, the assassin did not use conspiracy to assassinate, but swaggered out on the road and asked my name to assassinate again. After a little fight, they all withdrew, as if on purpose. "


    Kuai Liang said: "before you come back, there are countless news in Xiangyang, saying that as long as you go back to Xiangyang, you can resist Cao Ren. Now when you come back, you have a strange assassination. Young master Xiu, it''s not easy behind the scenes. Maybe it''s Cai Mao, maybe it''s Jiangdong, maybe it''s Cao Cao in the north, but it can''t be found out for the time being. Xiugongzi can only use static braking, be careful to deal with it, and never make mistakes. "


    Liu xiudao: "Mr. zirou reminds me, I will bear it in mind."


    Kuai Liang said, "did the Lord ever talk to you about Cao Ren in the north?"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "my father said that I would have a rest today, and that I would have a civil and military discussion tomorrow morning."


    Kuai Liang said: "I have only one suggestion about the arrangement of resisting Cao Ren, that is, xiugongzi does not grasp the military power, does not depend on anything in the army, but is just a person who gives advice."


    Liu xiudao: "don''t grasp military power?"


    At this time, Liu Xiu had some doubts in his mind. If he didn''t grasp the military power, it meant that he was empty. And if he doesn''t take the initiative, maybe Liu Biao will think he is negative.


    Kuai Liang looked serious and said, "if you seize the military power, the Lord will be afraid. If you don''t grasp the military power, you will not be active enough. Therefore, my suggestion is that you offer to help wenpin and help him to make suggestions. Wen pin is a confidant General of Zhou mu. If he controls military power, Zhou Mu will not be suspicious. "


    "Hoo


    Liu Xiuchang sighed and said, "thank you, Mr. zirou. I understand."


    ¡­¡­


    Xiangyang, somewhere in the house.


    LV Meng, wearing a strong suit, is practicing martial arts in the yard.


    He has been in Xiangyang for a few days. He has been following Zhou Yu''s plan in an orderly way. He even disguised himself as a businessman and paid a personal visit to Cai Mao. After contacting Cai Mao, Cai Mao took his advice and transferred Liu Xiu back from Yuzhang county.


    There is no doubt that the beginning of the plan is perfect.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of footwork came from outside the yard.


    A middle-aged man with ordinary clothes and rigorous complexion came in and stood respectfully.


    Lu Meng stopped and asked, "what''s the news?"


    The middle-aged man bowed his head and reported: "Liu Xiu returned to the city today. Half of the people sent to assassinate Liu Xiu died. The others have gone into hiding. "


    Lu Meng snorted and cursed: "these wastes, let them pretend, they are half dead, too useless. But if you die, you can arrange to kill all the people who are recovered. "


    "No!"


    The middle-aged man got the order and said, "I''m going to carry out the order."


    Lu Meng said: "wait a minute, in addition to killing the escaped people, there is also a piece of news to spread. This assassination was planned by Liu Xiu himself. He deliberately pretended to be pitiful in front of Liu Biao to please him. Do you understand? "


    "I understand!"


    The middle-aged man nodded and immediately went down to arrange.


    ¡­¡­


    The next day, in the morning.


    Prefecture, hall.


    Liu Biao called his civil and military generals to discuss Liu Xiu''s resistance to Cao Ren. Liu Biao''s spirit seems to be very good, full of vitality, and he doesn''t feel old at all. At a glance, Liu Xiu knew that Liu Biao must have taken ginseng in advance to refresh himself.


    Liu Biao''s sharp eyes swept the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Xiuer has returned to Xiangyang from Yuzhang county. What do you think about Xiuer''s arrangement?"Cai Mao took the initiative to stand up and suggested: "my Lord, I think that xiugongzi can take charge of the army of Jingzhou, and then prepare to resist Cao Ren''s army."


    When he said this, Cai Mao looked at Liu Xiu with a smile on his lips.


    Cai Mao is very clear about Liu Biao''s character. If Liu Xiu wants to control the military power of Jingzhou, it''s like seizing power from Liu Biao. It''s impossible. He took the initiative to recommend Liu Xiu, but in line with his proposal to recall Liu Xiu''s move, but also to Liu Xiu plug.


    Liu had no expression on his face and said, "what about the others?"


    Yi Ji zhengse said: "although the news of Cao Ren''s sending troops came from Nanyang County, so far, no news has been received from Liu Bei. In my opinion, the issue of sending troops can be ignored for the time being. "


    Yi Ji is also very clear about CAI Mao''s purpose, but he can''t make Liu Biao suspicious, so he can''t take the initiative to help Liu Xiu. He can only take such a neutral attitude, which is equivalent to talking nonsense.


    Liu Biao nodded slightly, looked at Kuai Yue and asked, "what about the difference?"


    Kuai Yue said, "I will obey the arrangement of my Lord."


    Liu Biao nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Liu Xiu and asked, "Xiu Er, what do you think?"


    With these words, Liu Xiu knew that the key time had come. Liu Xiu had been entrusted by Kuai Liang for a long time, and naturally knew how to answer. He said humbly, "tell my father that my son doesn''t think he is suitable to lead the army."


    "There are three reasons."


    "In the past, generals were good at fighting, and their sons were good at fighting. What my son did was to arrange troops behind the scenes. It''s not appropriate to let my son lead the army in person


    "Second, general Cai Junshi, general Wen and general Zhang are veteran soldiers with rich experience and outstanding ability. Compared with them, my son lacks experience and prestige. If we want to take the lead in fighting, they will also take the lead. "


    "Third, the son thinks that his most suitable position is military adviser or staff officer. My father can arrange the military affairs directly. After the war, the son will draw up strategies according to the situation of the war, and then the Jingzhou general will lead the troops to fight. "


    Liu Xiu didn''t mention wenpin because he was worried that wenpin would be difficult to handle. He looked neither humble nor haughty and said, "please correct my son''s immature ideas."


    After listening to Liu Biao, he laughed and felt relieved.


    He likes Liu Xiu''s sense even more. Liu Biao glanced at the civilian and military generals under his command and said, "Xiuer''s words are very reasonable. He will not send troops for the time being. After Cao Ren really approaches Xiangyang, Xiuer will draw up a plan."


    After hearing this, Cai Mao sighed in his heart that Liu Xiu was really cunning. He could understand Liu Biao''s temper. It seems that it is impossible for him to use military power to let Liu Biao suppress Liu Xiu.


    ¡­¡­


    One day, in Xiangyang City, the news about Liu Xiu''s plan to assassinate himself became rampant.


    The people in the city are talking about it.


    All the families, even the officials in Jingzhou, knew the news.


    When Liu Xiu got the news, he didn''t panic at all. Instead, he calmed down. He has always been worried about the assassination. As soon as he came back, there was a rumor that the assassination was arranged by himself.


    Xiangyang obviously has a power to push the waves.


    Is it the Cai family?


    At present, all Liu Xiu can consider is that the Cai family has such a motive.


    But Liu Xiu thought that Cai Mao had already achieved his goal when he transferred him back, and arranged for rumors to make trouble, instead of adding to the cake. Once exposed, it''s easy to put the Cai family in a dilemma. In Liu Xiu''s judgment, the people behind this matter don''t have the biggest suspicion and motivation.


    Liu Xiu went to see the person in charge of the Pang and Huang families in Xiangyang City and asked them to mobilize their forces to investigate. But in the end, we did not find out where the rumor came from. We can only let the rumor spread for the time being.

 Chapter 234

    Liu Xiu stayed in Xiangyang for a while and became an idle man. It seems that he stayed in Xiangyang to give advice for Liu Biao. In fact, he has no right. Taking advantage of his spare time, Liu Xiu went back to lumen mountain, met Pang Degong, and went down the mountain to meet Huang Chengyan, his future father-in-law. He had a love talk with Huang Yueying, and then he returned to zhoumu Prefecture.


    There is a force in Xiangyang City, which Liu Xiu must pay close attention to.


    In Xiangyang City, there are shops and wine shops in the East, South, West and North. Liu Xiu invites people from Pang''s and Huang''s families to monitor them in order to find out who is behind the scenes. Now that he is approaching the end of the new year, Liu Xiu does not want any new waves.


    In the room, Liu XiuXiu is writing a letter to Huang Zhong. Outside the room, there is a knock on the door.


    "Young master, I''m Xiao AI."


    Deng AI''s urgent voice came from the door.


    "Come in!"


    Liu Xiu answered, Deng AI pushed the door open and quickly ran in.


    Seeing Deng AI''s anxious look, Liu Xiu asked, "what happened?"


    Deng AI frowned and said quickly: "no, there are discussions all over the city about the young master. He said that when he returned to Xiangyang this time, he was ready to compete with Mr. Qi and Mr. Cong for Jingzhou. He said that his mind was deep and his stomach was black and cold. "


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed, and there was a trace of coldness between his eyebrows.


    Here we go again!


    Those who are hiding behind the scenes are doing it again.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I know."


    Deng AI continued: "the people in Xiangyang City are saying that the young master is plotting against Liu Qi and Liu Cong. In addition, some people have slandered the young master and sent someone to assassinate him before, so that the people have great opinions on the young master. Young master, the situation is very unfavorable. "


    Liu Xiu said: "the news came out, there is no way to worry."


    "Young master, Pang Fu asked to see you."


    At this time, outside the room, I think of the voice of Xia he, the servant girl.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "please!"


    In a short time Pompey came in.


    When Pang Fu saw Liu Xiu, he said straight to the point: "Mr. Xiu, the person who spread the news behind the scenes, the Pang family has caught the suspect in the East, South, West and north of Xiangyang. But after the interrogation, we met a difficult problem. They describe different controllers behind the scenes, and they spread the news because they received money from each other. "


    Liu Xiu frowned and looked dignified.


    The people behind the scenes are quite clever, and they don''t show any flaws.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "thank you, uncle Fu. Now it''s just a rumor that I''m going to compete with my eldest brother and second brother for Jingzhou. It''s not enough to be a threat. Now that they have started, there will certainly be some action. Please continue to watch


    Pang Fu said, "Mr. Xiu, you''re welcome. Goodbye!"


    After that, Pang Fu left.


    Shortly after Pang Fu left, the Huang family sent someone to tell the news. Huang''s news, like Pang''s, also caught some people spreading the news, but the result of the interrogation was the same, and no one behind the scenes was found.


    Continuous news made Liu Xiu trapped in Xiangyang.


    Deng AI looked worried and said: "the situation is more complicated, young master."


    Liu xiudao: "although it''s complicated, it doesn''t have much influence. Now I can''t figure out the situation of the other party. All I can do is to wait and see the change and deal with it calmly. Now we should be careful in every step. We can''t make random moves to avoid falling into each other''s trap. "


    Deng AI nodded and left worried.


    A day later, news came out again in the city that Liu Xiu resented Liu Biao. Hate Liu Biao, when Liu Xiu was a child, did not care about Liu Xiu; hate Liu Biao did not do a father''s responsibility.


    After the news came out, Kuai Yue, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan all came to the house.


    Everyone was aware of the seriousness of the matter.


    In the room, people take their seats.


    The atmosphere is depressing. Everyone looks at Liu Xiu with a touch of worry.


    The rumored news was so vicious that it was used to discredit Liu Xiu and alienate the relationship between Liu Xiu and Liu Biao. It is even more difficult to explain such a means. The Pang family and the Huang family mobilized their forces and failed to find out the people behind the scenes.


    With a serious face, Kuai Yue said slowly: "Mr. Xiu, there are many rumors in Xiangyang City. Although the rumors stop at the wise, as long as the Lord doesn''t believe it, it''s OK for the rumors to fly all over the world. But when three people become tigers, they are afraid that the Lord will take it seriously. Once the Lord has an idea in his heart, or he is dissatisfied with you, things will be complicated. "


    Pound is fair: "this matter again can''t explain, more explain, on the contrary more describe also black."


    Huang Chengyan showed a hint of coldness in his eyes, and suggested: "it''s really not good. Let''s push a scapegoat out and position the man as a spy of Jiangdong, saying that he is to alienate the relationship between Liu Jingzhou and his son."


    Kuai Yue said: "the introduction of scapegoats can be solved in a short time, but the people behind the scenes will still have actions. Once other news comes out, the scapegoat may add to the story. "


    Liu xiudao: "on the issue of rumors, I think we should wait. We are in the light, the other is in the dark, we still don''t know who the other is? So don''t act rashly. And father''s attitude is crucial. Wait a minute. But now, one thing needs to be done right away. ""What''s the matter?"


    Asked Mr. pound.


    Liu xiudao: "I''m sure the Cai family is making trouble behind the scenes. After the news came out, if I were Cai Mao, he would be happy to see the success of CAI Mao and send someone to add fuel to the flames. If so, it will prove that this time it is not the Cai family. On the contrary, if the Tsai family looks like he doesn''t intervene, or even beat a wet dog, it will be very suspicious. "


    Pound Fair: "I will arrange people to inquire."


    Kuai Liang and Huang Chengyan nodded and promised that they would do their best to get information.


    When they saw that Liu Xiu was still calm, they were more or less relieved. What they fear most is that Liu Xiu is furious and irrational when he gets the news. Now it seems that Liu Xiu is more calm.


    After the three left, Liu Xiu went to see Liu Biao.


    This time I see Liu Biao, maybe because of the rumors in Xiangyang City. Liu Biao''s attitude is lukewarm and gives people a feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away. Seeing this, Liu Xiu knew that Liu Biao had been affected. Liu Biao''s ears are soft. Listening to the wind is the rain. He is easily affected. Liu Xiu didn''t stay much either. After a few words, he left.


    In the evening, the Pang family, the Kuai family and the Huang family send people to deliver the letter. The Cai family is vigorously promoting the news that Liu Xiu resents Liu Biao.


    After getting the news, Liu Xiu decided that Cai Mao should not be behind the scenes.


    Although there is a suspicion, it is not the biggest one.


    Just after dark, Xia he came to the room and reported: "young master, madam, please go to her yard."


    "I see. I''ll go right away."


    Liu Xiu frowned slightly. He felt strange. How could Cai invite him at this time? He grew up, but when he was young, he would go to Cai''s yard with Liu Cong and Liu Qi. Besides, he never went to Cai''s yard.


    Now, CAI has offered to invite him.


    Liu Xiu had doubts in his mind, but he still went to Cai''s courtyard.


    In the yard, a servant girl came up and saluted: "Mr. Xiu, madam is waiting for you in the room."


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he was even more alert.


    Once he entered Cai''s house, if something happened to him, it would be unclear. Liu Xiu went to the door, stood at the door and said, "mother, what can I do for her son?"


    "Come in!"


    Cai''s voice came from the room.


    Liu Xiu kept calm and said, "it''s late at night. It''s inconvenient for my son to disturb me. If mother wants anything, just tell her


    As soon as the words came out, the room became quiet.

 Chapter 235

    Liu Xiu stood outside the door, looking very calm, calm said: "mother, if there is no other thing, the son went back first." For CAI, Liu Xiu''s heart is very scared, but also very wary.


    In particular, Cai''s standing on Liu Cong''s side, now looking for him in the middle of the night, is obviously ill intentioned.


    In the room, the silence remained.


    Cai sat in the room without speaking.


    Liu Xiu didn''t wait any longer. He said directly, "my mother has a rest earlier. My son won''t disturb me. Goodbye."


    "Wait a minute," Cai said


    Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and asked again, "what''s the matter with mother?"


    Cai said, "you come in first. My mother has something to discuss with you." Up to now, Cai still did not let go, but the more Cai did, the more alert Liu Xiu was.


    Such a situation makes people uneasy.


    Liu Xiu didn''t leave. He replied, "if it''s not important, we''ll talk about it tomorrow." In a word, he holds a degree to prevent Cai from succeeding.


    Chua sat in the room, gnashing his teeth in anger, and muttered: "this boy is really cunning." He didn''t meet Liu Xiu many times, and his understanding of Liu Xiu was only limited to the things he did. Now set up a trap to let Liu Xiu drill in, did not expect Liu Xiu life and death does not enter the house, too irritating.


    Today, Cai''s dress is very charming and charming. Every move has a temptation. Her charming face showed a thoughtful look, and then said: "Xiuer, mother intends to discuss with you about the problems of the Cai family. I want to discuss with you about the successor of Jingzhou. "


    Liu Xiu did not relax his vigilance. The Cai family once sent someone to assassinate him. He also took the initiative to put down his position and went to find Cai Mao to ease the relationship between the two sides. However, Cai Mao did not agree to a settlement, so that the relationship between the two sides was very stiff.


    Now the Cai family suddenly proposed to discuss the affairs of the Cai family. Can the Cai family represent the Cai family?


    Of course, to a certain extent, CAI can represent.


    However, if the Cai family represented the Cai family in the negotiation, at least Cai Mao would participate, and would not choose such a time.


    Liu Xiu was vigilant and had a suspicious attitude towards everything. He did not waver in the slightest. He said again, "mother, if we are talking about the Cai family, we''d better choose tomorrow. How about inviting Mr. Cai together at that time? "


    Two people you come and I go, are not give up.


    Liu didn''t come in, especially.


    Cai''s sitting in the room was very angry. Her eyebrows stood up and she cursed Liu Xiu constantly in her heart, but she had to suppress her anger when she wanted to calculate Liu Xiu and said, "Xiuer, besides the affairs of the Cai family, there is also your marriage. Mother, as a mother, should always take the responsibility of being a mother. So, mother chose a marriage for you


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were cold, and his eyes were already cold.


    This motherfucker even interferes in his marriage.


    Cai took the marriage as a threat, and Liu Xiu''s anger rose. The ghost of CAI Mao in the Cai family kept making trouble for him in the rear. At the beginning of his marriage with Jiangdong, Cai Mao was involved; when he was transferred back, Cai Mao was also involved. Cai is also the case, always thinking for Liu Cong, constantly making trouble.


    The Cai family is hateful!


    In Liu Xiu''s heart, the Cai family was listed as the object that must be won.


    This time back to Xiangyang, although Cai Mao promoted it, he had to go back to Xiangyang. Now, Liu Xiu can also take advantage of this opportunity to overthrow Cai Mao, so that the Cai family can no longer target him, so that Liu Cong lost the strength behind.


    Liu Xiu was wary in his heart. He pushed the door open and went in.


    What on earth is this smelly woman going to do?


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Cai Shi and said, "mother, tell me, what are you going to do?" Although Cai''s dress was enchanting and charming, it was detestable in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    Such a person is a mother.


    With a smile in his mouth, Cai waved lazily.


    Suddenly, the maid in the room immediately went forward to close the door. However, Liu Xiu was so smart that he knew that once the door was closed, what happened in the room would be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River.


    Such a thing has not happened in later generations.


    Liu Xiu stretched out his hand to stop him. His eyes were sharp and he yelled, "step back!"


    The servant girl was afraid and didn''t dare to come forward.


    Cai Shi light way: "repair son, the next thing to discuss, need to close the door to discuss."


    Liu Xiu refused to give up and said, "everything is said to people, so the door doesn''t have to be closed. Now, please tell me. The son would like to know whose family''s woman his mother has a crush on. Is it the Cai family? "


    He stood in front of the door. The servant girl couldn''t close the door. Cai could only wave her back.


    "Somebody, pour the wine for Mr. Xiu."


    Voice down, standing in the room of the maid immediately went to the table to pour wine.


    Liu Xiu looked at the wine bottles on the table and said, "mother, my son doesn''t drink, so don''t worry. The reason why the son opened the door and came in was that he wanted to hear from his mother, "who did mother choose?"Cai frowned and said, "Liu Xiu, you just don''t know etiquette."


    Liu Xiu said: "mother''s manners are really different."


    Chua''s eyes turned and said, "you really hurt your mother''s heart by doing this."


    Liu Xiu chuckled and said: "the mother''s heart is in the second brother''s body. How can the son hurt the mother''s heart? Mother is a member of the Cai family. Can''t she have a little brain? What they say makes people laugh and even more presumptuous. Since the mother doesn''t know whose family she''s after, I just want to talk about it. My son''s gone. "


    "Stop!"


    Cai frowned and went to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said directly: "if the mother wants to come over, the son has to leave the room."


    Liu Xiu had a vague guess about CAI''s purpose.


    When Cai heard the speech, he had to stop. Cai''s heart began to be anxious. He looked at the wine on the table and the servant girl. He sighed. Liu Xiu really didn''t stay. He didn''t fall for it. He didn''t give her any chance.


    Suddenly, a servant girl came from outside.


    When Cai Shi saw the maid, he sighed in his heart. He didn''t expect that Liu Xiu didn''t fall into the trap. But now she is on the verge of success and can''t miss this opportunity. Cai suddenly squatted on the ground, pulled off half of his left arm''s clothes, and said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, you are an evil animal. I''m your mother. Do you even want to kill your mother?"


    Sure enough, it''s a sex trap.


    Liu Xiu stood still, looking calm.


    "Liu Xiu, I am your mother, you brute, you brute! What do you want me to do? I''m not going to live. I''ll just die. "


    She fell to the ground and spattered, with a choking look on her face.


    Liu Xiu sneered, Cai suddenly launched the plan, there are too many flaws. Cai wanted to calculate him this time, but Liu Xiu had to use this plan to teach Cai a lesson.


    Liu xiuxin said: "it''s time for Liu Biao to appear."


    At that time, Liu Biao''s angry voice came from the gate of the courtyard: "Liu Xiu, you evil animal, what have you done?"


    Liu Biao rushed in angrily. Behind Liu Biao, he followed Cai Mao.


    At this time, Liu Biao has been dizzy with anger. He rushed to Cai Shi''s front, saw Cai Shi exposed the shoulder, a pair of pear blossom with rain appearance, was even more angry.


    Liu Xiu is such an evil son that his mother would tease him. He is just a beast.

 Chapter 236

    Liu Biao was furious and scolded: "Liu Xiu, you evil animal."


    Liu Xiu said calmly, "father, please listen to my son''s explanation."


    Hearing the speech, Cai Shi took a look at Liu Xiu. A cold light flashed in his eyes and cried: "husband, I''m not alive. What face do I have to see? I have no face to meet the ancestors of the Liu family. I don''t live. I don''t live. "


    This cry stirred Liu Biao''s heart and anger.


    At first, Liu Xiu was not particularly outstanding in Liu Biao''s eyes. Even in Liu Biao''s eyes, Liu Xiu was a nonexistent person. However, as Liu Xiu showed his talent, he went north to Xu county, ran You County, and then went to Jiangdong. After a series of things happened, Liu Biao appreciated Liu Xiu more and more, and even had a plan in his mind to let Liu Xiu inherit Jingzhou.


    He didn''t expect that Liu Xiu was such a beast. It was unforgivable.


    This must not happen.


    Once spread out, it will be a heavy blow to the reputation of the Liu family.


    There was a flash of light in CAI Mao''s eyes. Naturally, he would not miss this opportunity and said, "my Lord, I don''t think we should make public the ugliness of our family. It''s better to deal with this matter in a low-key way, otherwise it will have a great impact on the reputation of the Lord if it is spread out. "


    With these words, Liu Xiu''s behavior of molesting Cai''s family was confirmed.


    He and Cai''s sing a song, constantly against Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu sneered and said, "commander Cai is really willing. In order to deal with me and let my second brother inherit Jingzhou, he let his sister sequ to frame me. It''s really hard work."


    After that, Liu Xiu looked at Liu Biao and said, "father, my son didn''t do anything out of line. Please listen to my explanation."


    On hearing this, Tsai burst into sobs again, looking like a pear blossom with rain.


    Liu Biao was agitated in his heart. On impulse, he ordered directly, "come on!"


    As the voice dropped, a soldier rushed in from the outside.


    Liu Biao scolded: "take Liu Xiu."


    As the voice fell, the soldiers began to March directly to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu lifted his trouser legs and pulled out a dagger tied to his leg. In Liu Xiu''s body, not only does he have a sleeve arrow made by Huang Yueying on his arm, but he also learns from the experience of being assassinated in lumen mountain and carries a six inch dagger with him. Unexpectedly, it is now in use.


    Seeing this, Cai Mao thought Liu Xiu was going to use force. His eyes were overjoyed. He stood in front of Liu Biao and roared, "Liu Xiu, what are you going to do? How dare you attack my lord? Come on, take Liu Xiu. "


    He issued orders on behalf of Liu Xiu. The soldiers even more sonorous, pulled out the steel knife and slowly approached Liu Xiu.


    "Who dares to touch me!"


    Liu Xiu, holding a dagger, gave a loud order.


    When the approaching soldiers heard the words, they immediately stopped and did not dare to step forward. Although Liu Xiu was not the leader of Jingzhou, he had gained some prestige after several wars. Soldiers hesitated when they heard Liu Xiu''s scolding.


    Cai added fuel and added vinegar and said, "husband, look at Liu Xiu. This villain has not only done me wrong, but now he is going to commit a crime."


    Liu Biao roared: "evil animal, do you want to commit murder?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes show a touch of disappointment. Liu Biao is a rake ear after all. He can''t stand provocation, and he doesn''t have the ability to distinguish, let alone believe him. Liu Xiu calmed himself down, then shook his head and said, "my son pulled out the dagger not to commit a crime, but to prove himself. The son let the father misunderstand, is the son''s failure, but also the son did not do a person''s son should do


    "Puchi!"


    Liu Xiu raised the dagger and thrust it directly into his right thigh.


    The dagger is sharp. It breaks the clothes and stabs into the skin.


    In an instant, the blood overflowed and dyed the clothes red.


    Liu Biao widened his eyes and looked shocked. Liu Xiu was shocked to choose such a way to prove himself. The shock of his son''s self mutilation in front of him can be imagined.


    Liu Xiu''s face was slightly painful, but his eyes were still calm. He looked at Liu Biao and said again, "father, this is the son''s punishment for himself. It''s the son who misunderstood him. Please forgive me."


    "Poof!"


    The dagger was pulled out and blood splashed all over the ground.


    Tick! Tick!


    The blood on the dagger drops to the ground, which is so bright red and dazzling.


    Cai Mao''s brows wrinkled. Sitting on the floor, CAI was too scared to speak.


    When Liu Biao saw the blood on the ground, he could not help sighing. His angry heart gradually calmed down. It turned out that Liu Xiu was not the murderer, but to prove himself. For a time, Liu Biao''s head was dazed by anger and recovered a little calm.


    Liu Xiu knew that it was not enough. Since he wanted to use bitter meat, he had to convince Liu Biao.


    Liu Xiu raised the dagger and stabbed it down again.


    "Puchi!"


    The dagger was inserted into the thigh of the left leg and spattered with blood.


    Liu Xiu clenched his teeth, endured the pain in his thigh, pulled out the dagger, and said in a deep voice: "as the son of his father, his son let the traitor deceive his father, which led to the contradiction between his father and his son. This is because his son is not smart enough to deal with things well."Blood splashed, but Liu Xiu''s face did not change, and even his eyes did not fluctuate.


    At this moment, there was a deep chill in CAI Mao''s heart.


    How cruel!


    It''s too cruel!


    At the moment, Cai''s eyes were full of dazzling red, and he was completely stunned. She had never met such a situation since she was a child. Now Liu Xiu suddenly chose self mutilation, such a scene, such a result, she was extremely surprised and shocked.


    Liu Biao sighed and said, "Xiuer, you don''t have to be like this."


    At this time, his heart is quite painful.


    Liu Xiu is his son, but now he has to prove it by self mutilation, which makes Liu Biao''s heart in a mess.


    In my heart, I have a slight aversion to CAI.


    You dress up enchanting and charming. It''s not sex lure. What is it?


    Liu Xiu looked at Liu Biao and said, "father, are you willing to listen to your son''s explanation now?" Seeing that Liu Biao had calmed down, Liu Xiu knew that the time had come.


    Cai Mao''s heart clapped and said in a loud voice: "Lord..."


    "Shut up


    Liu Xiu raised his sword eyebrows and gave a loud order. Cai Mao was stunned by the cold and fierce killing. At this moment, he was frightened by Liu Xiu and did not dare to speak any more.


    Liu Xiu looked at Cai again and snorted.


    As soon as Cai Shi shrinks his neck, his eyes are even more afraid and dare not face Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    Tsai Mao and Tsai''s heart are a burst of hair, faintly some regret.


    Liu Xiu is so cruel!


    In front of Liu Biao''s face, in front of them, he stabbed two times. Forced to use self mutilation way, let Liu table calm down. If Liu Xiu is just arguing, it is impossible to make Liu Biao calm down when Liu Biao is angry. He can only add fuel to make Liu Biao even more angry.


    However, Liu Biao was shocked, surprised and heartbroken by this cruel way.


    After all, Liu Xiu is Liu Biao''s son!


    Liu Biao glanced at the room, saw the situation of the room, and began to have some doubts in his heart. After all, Liu Xiu''s mind and the situation in the room made him feel that Liu Xiu was not so unbearable.


    Liu Biao''s big sleeve flicked and said slowly, "say it!"


    Liu Xiu was relieved that his revenge on the Cai family was finally possible.


    Now, it''s up to the Cai family to bear the consequences!


    Liu Xiu dragged his injured legs to the table and picked up the wine pot with wine. At this moment, Cai''s face changed. However, she was still forced down, surprised in her heart, thinking, did Liu Xiu see anything?


    No, it shouldn''t be possible!


    Cai shook his head in his heart, thinking that Liu Xiu could not see the trick.


    Liu Xiu has been observing Cai''s expression. Seeing the change of CAI''s expression, his mind is more realistic. However, he didn''t immediately talk about the drink. He said in a deep voice: "father, there are at least five loopholes in today''s affair, which is enough to prove that this is the scheme set up by Cai Shi and Cai Mao to frame up their son and alienate our father son relationship."


    Liu Biao asked, "what are the five points?"


    Cai Mao''s eyes narrowed, five loopholes, how is this possible? How can the trap he and Cai set up together leave so many flaws? No way!


    But Cai Mao himself was a little worried. He couldn''t see through Liu Xiu.


    Liu xiudao: "first, the maid in the room."


    "Assuming that the son''s intention to Cai''s is wrong, under this premise, will the son let the servant girl stay in the room and get in the way? This kind of thing, certainly can''t let anyone know, so if the son''s intention is not right, he will first call out the maid in the room, leaving me and Cai alone. What does father think? "


    The first evidence was captured by Liu Xiu.


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, Cai''s plan is full of flaws. This time, seizing the opportunity, he will thoroughly eradicate the status of the Cai family in Liu Biao''s heart and the status of the Cai family in Liu Biao''s heart.


    Liu Biao nodded and said, "there is a certain truth."


    As a matter of fact, Liu Biao is not stupid. After he regained his composure and pondered a little, he realized that if Liu Xiu really wanted to do something wrong, he could not do so.


    Cai Mao''s heart is even worse, things are out of control.


    Cai Mao took a deep breath and said, "Lord!"


    Liu Biao big sleeve a whisk, scold a way: "you shut up!"

 Chapter 237

    When Cai Mao was scolded by Liu Biao, he was very nervous. It''s the first time since he played for Liu Biao. Cai Mao quickly looks at Cai Shi and signals him to persuade him to stop Liu Xiu from analyzing.


    There is something wrong with the situation. Once it is overhauled by Liu, the Cai family will definitely be affected, and he may also suffer.


    Cai said timidly, "my husband..."


    Liu Biao said in a deep voice, "shut up and listen to Xiuer."


    As soon as she heard this, she did not dare to speak. All her power and all her discourse power come from Liu Biao''s trust. Now Liu Biao''s face is turned over. As soon as she falls, she loses her value.


    Liu Xiu''s legs were bleeding and his face was pale.


    However, Liu Xiu looked calm without any confusion. He looked at the gate and said in a deep voice, "second hole, the door of the room is open."


    "According to the normal logic, if the son wants to do something wrong, he will certainly close the door."


    "In fact, the door of the front door is open. In this case, let alone the maid in the yard, any old lady or family member who comes to work with CAI will find something strange in the room."


    "It''s impossible for a man to make such a mistake, even if he is kicked in the head by a donkey."


    Liu Xiu sighed and said, "father, if my son really has the wrong intention, how can he not close the door? What do you think of this flaw? "


    As soon as these words came out, Cai''s face was even paler.


    At this moment, she finally understood Liu Xiu''s intention. It turned out that Liu Xiu didn''t let the door close at the beginning. He had a plan, just to have a statement. Now Liu Xiu has a chance to explain, and this flaw comes in handy.


    This flaw is too direct.


    Even Liu Biao believed Liu Xiu''s analysis.


    Liu Biao looked at Cai Mao and Cai Shi with a gloomy face. His eyes were even colder.


    "Audacity


    At the moment, Liu Biao''s heart, only such an idea.


    In Liu Biao''s heart, he believed Liu Xiu''s view and thought that Cai Mao and Cai Shi were too brave.


    At the moment, Cai Mao and Cai Shi looked at each other, looking even more flustered. With Liu Xiu''s analysis of the reasons, they both know that this time, I''m afraid they will fall into Liu Xiu''s hands again. Now, it is impossible to reverse the situation. Of course, if Liu Biao listened to their persuasion, they could force people to take Liu Xiu down, but it was impossible.


    Liu Biao took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "you go on!"


    Liu Xiu nodded, but his standing body shook. There was a touch of worry in Liu Biao''s eyes. He quickly asked, "are you ok?"


    "It''s OK. Thank you for your concern."


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "the third loophole my son wants to say is that when my son came to visit his mother this time, he didn''t bring any of his entourage. It''s unreasonable. The reason why my son came to visit me this evening is that when I was reading a book, my servant said that Cai would like to invite me. My son came in a hurry. That''s why I didn''t take anyone with me. "


    "According to the slander of CAI Mao and Cai Shi, if the son intends to have a bad intention, he will definitely arrange a Lookout outside the yard. At least, let my bookboy Deng AI stand outside the yard. When ordinary people come, Deng AI, as his son''s bookboy, has a little voice and can keep people out. If the father comes, he can also delay time so as not to be caught for a long time. "


    "So this is also a loophole. This is the logic that a normal person should have and the preparation for doing bad things," Liu said


    Liu Biao nodded slightly. The more he listened, the more he felt that it was true.


    In particular, Liu Xiu''s strategy is outstanding, and it is impossible to make these mistakes. So why did CAI and Cai Mao conspire to frame Liu Xiu? Liu Biao thought of Liu Cong in his mind.


    Even, Liu Biao thought of the rumors spread in the city these days that Liu Xiu intended to seize Jingzhou, and he hated him even more. Before the rumor, let Liu Biao''s heart gave birth to a knot in one''s heart. Now after listening to Liu Xiu''s analysis, he sees that CAI and Cai Mao framed Liu Xiu. He thinks that Cai Mao and Cai Mao may be behind the scenes.


    Liu''s face became softer and softer. He asked slowly, "what''s the fourth loophole?"


    Liu Biao is very curious about Liu Xiu''s analysis. He wants to know what these five mistakes are?


    Liu Xiu nodded and continued: "the fourth loophole I want to talk about lies in Mr. Cai himself. Dare to ask my father, how did Cai Junshi come with my father? "


    Cai Mao''s face changed greatly when he heard the speech.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu burned him in a flash.


    Liu Biao stopped for a moment and said in a deep voice: "at that time, Cai Junshi said that he planned to tell you a marriage. He said that he was the daughter of the Xi family in Xiangyang. But Cai Junshi said that Cai is your mother and wanted to ask her for advice, so she came together. I didn''t expect to meet you in the room. "


    As soon as these words came out, Cai''s face turned pale and his body trembled slightly.


    Cai Mao clenched his fist and looked pale.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "does father know the woman his son likes?""Huang Yueying


    Liu Biao smiles. He also knows about Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "it is well known that his father is wise and his son likes Huang Yueying. Even commander Cai knows about this. Because Yueying''s mother is Cai''s elder sister after all, if the relationship with CAI is too rigid, it will also affect Yueying. So my son went to visit Cai Junshi in person. On the other hand, he met Cai shaolao. "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "master Cai knows clearly that his son loves Yueying, but now he wants to introduce a woman from the Xi family. Isn''t it clear that he deliberately colludes with CAI and wants to take his father to catch the thief?"


    Liu Biao''s face was even more gloomy.


    As the Lord, who wants the people below to collude to cheat themselves?


    No one wants to!


    In particular, Liu Biao is even more reluctant, because one is his woman and the other is his military adviser.


    Liu Biao looked at Liu Xiu''s words and said softly, "this time, my father misunderstood you." Obviously, Liu Biao was wronged to believe Liu Xiu. He is even more angry. Cai Mao, whom he trusts most, and Cai Shi, who dotes on most, collude to alienate his father son relationship with Liu Xiu, and even unite to frame Liu Xiu. It''s so bold.


    Liu Xiu''s body trembled again, but he still calmed down and said slowly: "father, my son still has a fifth loophole. This loophole, the son just guess, but the specific situation, still have to try to know


    Liu Biao asked: "what loopholes?"


    For his son, Liu Biao is now very satisfied.


    He is resolute, thoughtful and filial. Liu Xiu''s face is similar to that of his youth. At this time, Liu Xiu was carved in the same mold as when he was young.


    Liu Xiu shook the wine in his hand and said, "this is the pot of wine."


    "As soon as his son entered the room, Cai asked the servant girl to pour wine for him. The son thought, what day is this? Drinking. What kind of wine would you like to drink? The occasion is not right. So my son didn''t drink at all. But what''s the use of this pot of wine? Why did Cai let me drink as soon as he came up


    Liu Xiu took the bottle, poured a glass of wine and said, "father, son, let the soldiers have a try."


    "Yes


    Liu Biao nodded and agreed, with a trace of expectation in his eyes.


    When Cai Mao and Cai Shi saw this, they were as pale as ashes.


    Liu Xiu gave the wine bottle to a soldier. The soldier was a little reluctant. He heard Liu Xiu say, "don''t worry, it''s not poisonous wine, it won''t kill people."


    The soldier clenched his teeth and drank.


    Liu Xiu felt that it was not safe, so he poured another glass of wine and asked the soldiers to drink another. After drinking two glasses of wine in a row, the soldier smashed his mouth. He thought the wine was good and the taste was very good.


    Liu Biao saw that there was nothing unusual about the soldiers. He looked puzzled and asked, "Xiuer, it''s nothing strange?"


    Liu Xiu said, "my son is just guessing. We''ll talk about it later."


    After hearing the speech, Liu Biao waited quietly.


    After a while, the soldier''s face became red and his eyes became blurred. He grabbed his clothes and murmured, "how can it be hot? It''s very strange. Women, I want women. "


    It''s easy to understand Liu Biao Ren''s experience.


    Spring medicine!


    There was spring medicine in the wine. Liu Biao told the soldiers to take down the soldiers who had drunk it. The way he looked at Cai Shi and Cai Mao was even more murderous.


    It''s unforgivable that this dead woman should use spring medicine.


    Liu xiutan opened his hand, with a very happy expression, and said: "if my son is not a little more wary and suspicious, I''m afraid he will be framed now after drinking the medicine and wine. Father, these are the five loopholes in my son''s thinking. "


    "Hoo! Hoo


    Liu Biao''s face is red with anger. Shame!


    His woman even used aphrodisiac to frame her son with her younger brother.


    Damn it!


    At this moment, Liu Biao''s anger was irresistible.

 Chapter 238

    "Somebody, arrest Cai Shi and Cai Mao."


    Liu Biao''s eyes were cold and ordered directly.


    Up to now, Liu Biao no longer intends to forgive Cai Mao and Cai Shi.


    "Wait a minute!"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "father, my son thinks it''s impossible."


    Liu Biao asked: "you were framed by Cai Shi and Cai Mao. Now you want to stop it? Are you going to speak for them? " His muddy eyes showed a trace of examination.


    There was a trace of desire in CAI''s eyes.


    In CAI Mao''s eyes, however, Liu Xiu was wary. When he spoke, he was afraid that he didn''t have a good heart.


    It''s better not to let Liu Xiu say good things.


    But at this time, Cai Mao had no right to speak and could only watch.


    Liu Xiumian showed a trace of pain, and said slowly: "father, my son agrees with the words of military adviser Cai, family ugliness should not be publicized. After all, it''s the Liu family''s business for Cai Mao and Cai Shi to frame their son. It''s not appropriate to deal with it in a big way. "


    "The son thinks, low key processing goes


    "What''s more, although Cai Shi and Cai Mao did this to frame up their son with the intention of killing him, in the final analysis, they didn''t really have hatred with their son, because the emperor of Jingzhou didn''t decide for his second brother. Now in Xiangyang City, there are rumors everywhere that the son intends to compete with the eldest brother and the second brother. It''s also because of this that rumors spread so much. "


    Liu Xiuse said: "in the final analysis, everything is because of the successor of Jingzhou."


    "Therefore, the son implored his father to choose one of the eldest and second brothers as the successor of Jingzhou."


    "In this way, Cai Jun Shi and Cai Jun Shi have no motive to frame their son, and they can also resolve the contradiction this time. My son has another suggestion about Jingzhou''s successor. "


    Liu Xiu said: "please let my father set up the successor early, but not publicly, just properly placed in a place. I''ll let my father take it out after a hundred years. In this way, we can avoid the struggle of heirs, and the son will not be targeted again. "


    After the words, Cai''s eyes showed an incredible look.


    Liu Xiu didn''t fight for it!


    Moreover, Liu Xiu really let her go and didn''t care about her.


    After hearing this, Cai Mao clenched his fist and looked even more scared. Liu Xiu seems to be indisputable, but in fact, he takes retreat as a way to advance, which solves his current embarrassing situation.


    In this way, the rumors in the city lose their meaning.


    As long as Liu Biao doesn''t believe in rumors, no matter how rumors spread in the city, no amount of rumors are of no use.


    More importantly, Liu Xiu released CAI and him. In Liu Biao''s mind, the impression was even better.


    Liu Xiu''s last suggestion is to let Liu Biao quietly establish his successor. After this move, Cai Mao can no longer support a person at will. Otherwise, once Liu Biao is one hundred years old, the successor will not be the one he supports. Instead, they will be in trouble and easy to be targeted.


    Another advantage is that although Liu Xiu suggests choosing between Liu Qi and Liu Cong, Liu Xiu has no ambition and is appreciated by Liu Biao.


    Under such circumstances, it is impossible to guess Liu Biao''s mind. Maybe it is possible for Liu Biao to make Liu Xiu his successor.


    Cunning!


    Cunning!


    Too careful!


    In CAI Mao''s heart, there was no sense of being rescued by Liu Xiu. On the contrary, he felt that Liu Xiu was too terrible. It''s not easy for him to deal with Liu Xiu.


    At the moment, Liu Biao''s eyes to Liu Xiu are really quite satisfied.


    Liu Xiu does not fight, but he has outstanding ability.


    If Liu Qi and Liu Cong were both so excellent, that would be great.


    "Ah


    All of a sudden, Liu Xiu gave a low cry, his legs were soft, and his body was about to fall. Fortunately, the soldiers not far away were quick sighted and helped Liu Xiu to avoid falling to the ground.


    Liu Biaolian said: "quick, help Xiuer back to the yard to have a rest."


    "Yes


    When the soldiers got the order, they called people in and carried Liu Xiu out.


    Liu Biao''s eyes fell on Cai Mao''s body and said in a deep voice: "commander, I''m very disappointed. You can do it yourself." Immediately, Liu Biao looked at Cai Shi again and said coldly, "Xiuer is also your son, but it''s very kind of you to poison him. Since ancient times, has there been such a vicious mother as you? "


    In a word, Tsai was very sad and lost.


    "Well, you do it yourself!"


    Liu Biao flicked his big sleeve and turned to walk out.


    Cai Shi and Cai Mao looked at each other. They were both lost in their eyes, like a defeated cockfight.


    Cai Mao sighed: "sister, it''s impossible to deal with Liu Xiu now. In particular, after Liu Xiu''s proposal was put forward, the LORD was likely to adopt his proposal and set up his successor quietly. Now do yourself a good job, eh... "


    Cai''s eyes were full of tears when he heard the speech. The big tears kept falling down. Liu Jixiu didn''t think of it as stealing rice. On the contrary, she didn''t regret it.Liu Biao left the yard and went to Liu Xiu''s yard.


    When he arrived, the doctor was dressing up.


    While bandaging, the doctor said: "Mr. Xiu, the dagger that pierces your thigh is extremely sharp. Although it doesn''t hurt your muscles and bones, it will take some time to recover completely. During this period of time, we can''t force ourselves to walk, we can only support ourselves. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "it doesn''t matter. It will recover soon."


    After waiting for the doctor to leave, Liu Biao said: "Xiuer, you are in such a situation that I feel very sorry for your father."


    Liu xiudao: "the son impulse, let the father worry." After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "father, about the rumors outside, the son has a little idea in his heart. He wants to talk to his father."


    "What do you think?"


    Liu Biao was satisfied with Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "at the beginning, when my son heard the rumors, he thought it was Mr. Cai who was behind the scenes, because he found that the person who was behind the scenes was the Cai family. But my son thought that although Cai wanted to attack me for his second brother, he could never do such a thing. So my son thinks that there may be people from Jiangdong hiding in Xiangyang City, who are behind the scenes and spreading rumors. "


    Liu Xiugang came to this conclusion.


    Because if Cai Mao spread rumors, with Liu Biao''s energy, Liu Biao is likely to find out. The suspicion of the Cai family is not great. Well, the biggest suspect is Jiangdong.


    Referring to Jiangdong, Liu Biao''s expression became serious.


    When people from Jiangdong appeared in Xiangyang, Liu Biao was naturally upset, especially when people from Jiangdong spread rumors, which made Liu Biao angry.


    Liu Biao said: "Xiuer, are you sure? But even if the people in Jiangdong are behind the scenes, how can they be investigated and dealt with? "


    Liu Xiu replied, "my son is not sure, just guessing. After all, before the investigation, there has been no conclusive evidence. But the son is thinking that the other party is hiding in Xiangyang City, stirring the wind and rain, must deal with. Therefore, the son hopes to thoroughly investigate Jingzhou. Within the Jingzhou area, we must implement orders that only can not be entered, and check registered residence.


    After a pause, Liu Xiu solemnly said, "we should thoroughly investigate every family and encourage the people to report. In addition, an order will be issued that once suspected persons are found, the system of joint sitting will be implemented. The son believes that if we verify this, we can force the other party out. "


    When Liu Biao heard the speech, his eyes showed a look of thinking.


    He was silent for a moment, and said: "this matter, you go directly to Kuai Yue and Yi Ji to discuss, and then go to wenpin to order, let wenpin block the city gate and search. Hum, it''s really hateful for Sun Quan of Jiangdong to put people in Xiangyang to stir up the storm. "


    Liu xiudao: "yes, my son will arrange it tomorrow."


    Liu Biao had a worried look in his eyes and said, "Xiuer, can you persist in your injury?"


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "the injury is not too serious, the impact is not big."


    Liu Biao nodded and said, "in that case, you should do it yourself and pay attention to your health. It''s late at night. You have a rest earlier. You''re a little tired of being a father. Go back to rest. "


    "Father, take your time. I''m sorry my son can''t send you."


    Liu Xiu was lying on the bed with a pale face, but the look in his eyes was shining.


    Today''s event, though, is the joint design of CAI Mao and Cai Shi, which put Liu Xiu in prison. Even, Liu Xiu injured himself, but the final effect completely solved Liu Biao''s heart knot, and even made Liu Biao trust him more.


    There is no doubt that this is a surprise, which Liu Xiu did not expect.


    Zhao Yun came to Liu Xiu''s side with a smile in his eyes, and said: "Mr. Xiu, it seems that Liu Jingzhou has not been affected by the rumors outside, and he always trusts you."


    Liu Xiu laughed, did not mention the things in CAI''s yard, hit a ha ha, said with a smile: "this is the tacit understanding between father and son."


    Zhao Yun didn''t believe it. He said, "what''s the matter with the wound on your son''s leg?"


    Liu Xiu hit a ha ha, way: "go out of time, met a few assassins, select thigh to start, so my thigh was stabbed."


    Zhao Yun curled his mouth, with an expression of disbelief. He didn''t believe it at all. Zhao Yun waved his hand and said, "if not, I''ll go back and have a rest."


    Zhao Yun got up and left the room.


    At this time, Deng AI said: "young master, what happened?"


    Liu Xiu kept his mouth shut and shook his head: "a little thing is not worth mentioning. That''s the end of the matter. Don''t talk about it any more. It''s late at night. Go down and have a rest. "


    "Well, you have something to call me."


    Deng AI nodded and turned away.

 Chapter 239

    Cai Shi and Cai Mao conspired to frame Liu Xiu and finally chose to keep a low profile. In addition to Liu Xiu and Liu Biao, people in CAI''s courtyard were banned from spreading, so that other people in the family did not know the news, even Liu Cong did not know.


    The next morning, Yi Ji, Kuai Yue and Wen pin came to the courtyard and were shocked to see Liu Xiu.


    Yi Ji frowned and said, "master Xiu, what''s the matter?"


    Wenpin also had an incredible expression, saying: "the martial arts of young master Xiu are in Jingzhou. There are very few things that can hurt you. Especially can stab two thighs, is almost impossible


    Kuai Yue said, "did you get assassinated?"


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "it''s not a big problem. Don''t worry about it."


    Liu Xiu avoided talking and refused to tell the truth, so they had to give up.


    Yi Ji''s words changed and returned to the main topic, saying: "young master Xiu invited us here. What''s the matter?"


    Kuai Yue and Wen pin nodded when they heard the speech.


    Liu Xiu said: "the reason why we invited the three people here was that rumors were spread all over the city. After discussing the rumors with my father, I agreed that the rumors in Xiangyang City might have been caused by people in Jiangdong. Last night, I asked for my father''s approval and asked three of you to deal with the matter. "


    Yi Ji eyebrows a Yang, did not expect Liu Xiu unexpectedly is to obtain Liu Biao''s consent.


    It''s not easy.


    Before that, Liu Biao had a lot of opinions on Liu Xiu because of rumors.


    Today''s change is surprising.


    Kuai Liang was also shocked and asked, "what is master Xiu going to do?"


    Liu Xiu said slowly: "my plan is to temporarily blockade Xiangyang City, allow in and not out. Then, ten households were selected as a group and searched one by one. In addition, people are encouraged to report strangers around. Once examined, Jiangdong criminals will be given certain rewards. "


    Three people smell speech, all are surprised.


    Kuai Yue looked at Yi Ji and Wen pin, then suddenly raised his doubts and asked, "young master Xiu, because of rumors, my Lord has a knot in his heart. Now, how suddenly changed the wind direction. "


    This remark is related to what happened last night.


    However, the conspiracy between CAI Shi and Cai Mao is obviously not suitable to be publicized.


    Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "because something happened last night, my father completely eliminated his doubts and no longer doubted. That''s why we''re going to let three of you deal with it. "


    Liu Xiu did not say anything more specific.


    After listening, Kuai Yue didn''t make things clear. But Liu Xiu''s words have been made very clear, and Liu Biao agreed with them. If Kuai Yue asked again, he would not know his face.


    Kuai Yue nodded and stopped asking.


    Wen pin''s face had a relaxed look, and said: "master Xiu has cleared the suspicion. This is a good thing."


    Liu xiudao: "in addition, the issue of Jingzhou''s successors. I suggested to my father that he choose between the elder brother and the second brother. Next, the father may draw up an imperial edict to decide the successor, and then save it. In this way, the problem of heirs is completely solved. "


    Kuai Yue, Yi Ji and Wen pin all stare at the speech.


    If we take the initiative in this way, won''t we cut off our own way? I''m afraid it''s not a good decision.


    Liu Xiu understood the three people''s ideas and said, "it''s just the so-called" no fight "that means fight. In some cases, if there is no desire, there will be just." As soon as the words changed, Liu xiudao said, "let''s not talk about the successor. This is the end of the matter."


    After Kuai Yue, Yi Ji and Wen pin heard this, they understood it in their hearts.


    Liu Xiu is not indisputable, but unwilling to get involved.


    Wenpin zhengse way: "xiugongzi, when to start a thorough investigation?"


    Liu Xiu said: "the sooner the better. Well, the time for thorough investigation is set at noon. Before noon, block the four gates of Xiangyang and forbid the people in the city to leave. Before that, we must not leak the news, otherwise people will slip away and it will be meaningless. "


    Wenpin said, "don''t worry, Mr. Xiu. I will understand."


    Yi Ji said: "since the thorough investigation began at noon, in order to avoid the leak, I sent people to post notices after noon to appease the people and avoid the turbulence of the people. At the same time, in the notice, people are encouraged to expose and report strangers. "


    Liu xiudao: "hard work, Mr. Ji Bo."


    Kuai Yue took the initiative to say: "yibiejia is responsible for appeasing the people. I''m in charge of coordinating the officials. Let Xiangyang County Magistrate and Xiangyang City officials fully cooperate and let them participate."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "it''s hard for Mr. Yidu."


    Yi Ji took the initiative to say: "time is pressing, so we won''t stay. We''ll arrange it right away. There is still a lot of work to do before we start the operation. When we go back, we will think about the details of the specific operation. "


    Liu Xiu smile, arched his hand: "hard three."


    "It''s not hard. Mr. Xiu is serious."


    Yi Ji left, Kuai Yue and Wen pin stood up and left the yard.As a general under Liu Biao''s command, wenpin is responsible for the troops of Xiangyang City. He quickly mobilized soldiers and sealed off the four gates. The gate of Sifang city was taken over by wenpin. For a time, many people in the city were not used to it and talked about it.


    At noon, the notice prepared by Yi Ji was posted on the four walls for the people to check.


    In the notice, it was said that the reason for the blockade of the city gate was that there were some traitors from Jiangdong hiding in the city, intending to overthrow Jingzhou and disturb Xiangyang. In order to thoroughly investigate the traitors in Xiangyang, this method was adopted. The notice, which encouraged the people to report, also clearly stated.


    The news spread quickly in the city.


    LV Meng''s people got the news and sent it back quickly.


    In the house, Lu Meng sat in his study, looking cold and solemn. The sudden change caught Lu Meng off guard. The change was too fast.


    Before yesterday, there were many rumors in Xiangyang City, even Liu Biao began to doubt Liu Xiu. But today, Liu Biao ordered a large-scale search, which is a strange change.


    Lu Meng once pretended to be a businessman to meet Cai Mao and asked him to target Liu Xiu. Reasonably speaking, since Cai Mao has taken action, the situation should be more and more difficult for Liu Xiu. Shouldn''t it be like this?


    Lu Meng was not in a hurry to escape. He ordered people to go to the prefecture to inquire about the news.


    An hour later, a middle-aged man came to the study. Standing in front of LV Meng, he reported: "my Lord, I don''t know what happened in the prefecture. I only know that Liu Biao, Cai Mao and Liu Xiu had a quarrel in CAI''s room last night, and then there was no news. We can''t get the rest of the news. "


    LV Meng nodded and waved his hand to let people back.


    Sitting in the room, Lu Meng murmured: "Liu Xiu, is this your action? Have you got Liu Biao''s understanding? What happened yesterday? "


    What happened last night is difficult for Lu Meng to detect.


    "Do you want to go to the Cai family in person?"


    LV Meng thought that when he went to the Cai family at this critical time, LV Meng was worried about the unexpected. After thinking about it for a long time, LV Meng decided to give up going to the Cai family and hide in the city. He had to wait and see, because his mission to Xiangyang had not been completed, and he had not yet alienated Liu Biao and Liu Xiu.


    At dusk in the afternoon, when it was dark.


    LV Meng left the house, because according to the news from his soldiers, the government had searched here.


    After LV Meng left, he found a new place to settle down.


    At night, Lu Meng thought he could have a rest. Unexpectedly, the search in the city continued. This news is really bad news for Lu Meng. Because as the search continued, the people also joined in one after another.


    He had been in hiding for less than two hours before he was reported.


    In desperation, Lu Meng had to change his place. He fled everywhere, but the city was searched everywhere, and his hiding situation became more and more difficult. After daybreak, Lu Meng stopped to have a rest.


    At LV Meng''s side, only two or three soldiers were left. The other soldiers went out to inquire for information.


    After stopping, Lu Meng''s eyes twinkled with thinking eyes and murmured: "we can''t go on like this any longer. If we continue, the whole army will be destroyed. Even I can''t escape."


    In his heart, LV Meng thought about the way to get away. Now the situation in Xiangyang is tense, and the wave after wave of people searching makes LV Meng''s situation very difficult.


    Even if he didn''t finish the task, Lu Meng had to give up.


    At present, we can only leave Xiangyang to make plans.

 Chapter 240

    An hour later, there were still no soldiers in the place where LV Meng was.


    Lu Meng''s face gradually became anxious.


    "Have all the people under his command been arrested?"


    Lu Meng was alert in his heart and gave up waiting for news immediately. Then he took people to change places.


    It''s good to be in a remote place. Once he enters a crowded place, he will attract the attention of the people, because he doesn''t know the people around him. According to the rule of ten families as a group, ten families close to each other must know each other.


    All the faces of LV Meng are strange. At that time, the people''s eyes to LV Meng were not good, but after all, the people didn''t do it themselves, and LV Meng left quickly.


    In the continuous flight, he was chased, and his three soldiers were finally separated because they stayed to resist.


    At the moment, Lu Meng is alone.


    When he first arrived in Xiangyang, LV Meng thought everything was easy. The plan is also going very smoothly. Liu Biao''s search is not strict either. He, a man from Jiangdong, easily disguises himself as a businessman. But now, the officers and soldiers are serious, and all the forces are mobilized. Xiangyang City seems to be a prison, full of crises.


    He was hiding in a roadway, resting with his back against the wall.


    "Hoo! Hoo


    He breathed heavily, panting, with a trace of fatigue on his face. One night''s transfer position, running around, he is already exhausted, his stomach is also growling.


    "There''s someone here, there''s someone I don''t know."


    Suddenly, a tender voice sounded.


    A child, with a foot long wooden sword in his hand, yelled.


    Behind the children, a lot of people poured out.


    Lu Meng was so scared that he ran away. He knew very well that if he was controlled, and the people reported to the government, he would have no registered residence, no identity certificate, and he would be caught.


    Especially when Liu Xiu and LV Meng met, once they were sent to Liu Xiu, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    "Come on, that man must be a spy."


    "It must be suspected that he should evade the pursuit. If you catch him, you will be rewarded. Chase him."


    One by one, the people roared and chased quickly.


    Lu Meng spread his legs and ran. He ran desperately for fear of being chased by the people behind him. As long as he had strength, he kept running. He didn''t even know how long it took him to stop. At this time, Lu Meng found a hut to hide.


    He hid in the hut, but he was no longer chased. He could take a breath for a while.


    It''s just that the taste in the hut is very uncomfortable.


    Lu Meng endured the peculiar smell of the cottage and thought about the way to escape from Xiangyang City.


    His men are all scattered. Maybe, maybe, they are caught. Of course, they are chased around like him. But in any case, it''s impossible to meet now.


    "It must be difficult to escape from Xiangyang City. Now I''m only allowed in and out, and I''m not even given a chance. "


    Lu Meng''s eyes turned, his eyes showed a look of thinking.


    "It seems that we can only stay in Xiangyang for a while to hide. But now people are being arrested everywhere, not to mention me. I''m afraid that even the spies who Cao Cao and other princes put in the city will be arrested. "


    "In such a situation, there is no place to hide. But in any case, you have to protect yourself. "


    "Where to hide it?"


    "Prefectural Prefecture!"


    Lu Meng''s heart, suddenly had an idea.


    The more dangerous a place is, the safer it is. If he hides in the prefecture, he may avoid being hunted. It is impossible for officers and soldiers to search the prefectures and herdsmen, or for people to report.


    "Once I hide in the prefecture, I can also wait for the opportunity to assassinate Liu Biao and Liu Xiu."


    "Yes, that''s it."


    Lu Meng said he would do it. He quietly stepped out of the hut, and then looked for the direction to go north.


    Under the instigation of the government, all the people in the city have been searching everywhere. All the people put in by the princes were found out one after another.


    The whole Xiangyang is filled with the spirit of killing.


    After some escape, LV Meng still couldn''t rush out, so he had to go out to find some dry food. After wolfing it down, he went back to the hut to escape.


    It''s freezing, and LV Meng is in the hut.


    He waited slowly. After dark, people were forbidden to run around in the streets, and Xiangyang City calmed down at this time. LV Meng came out quietly and went to the prefecture.


    All the way smooth, to the prefecture, he found a courtyard wall, intend to turn in.


    Lu Meng didn''t know what was going on inside, so he casually found a courtyard wall. Then he jumped up and climbed on the wall with both hands. Then he leaned out his head and looked at the situation inside the wall.


    The courtyard wall is the backyard of the prefecture, which is a separate courtyard.


    Lanterns are on in the yard, figures are dazzling in the wing room, and oil lamps are on.


    "Whose yard is this? If only it was Liu Biao''sThere was a trace of expectation in LV Meng''s eyes.


    Seeing that there was no one in the yard, LV Meng made a leap with both hands, and fell into the yard with a light body.


    "Creak!"


    At the same time, the door opened and a young man came out. When the young man saw LV Meng''s moment, he was stunned for a moment. Then he immediately opened his mouth and yelled, "brother Zilong, come quickly!"


    A roar, with anxiety and haste.


    "Kill


    Lu Meng was very anxious. He didn''t expect to be found just after turning into the wall.


    What bad luck!


    He dashed forward to the young man.


    Although Deng AI was young, he also took part in the war. After the baptism of the battlefield and the training of Deng Zhan, his martial arts are quite good. During Zhao Yun''s stay in Xiangyang, Deng AI also asked Zhao Yun for advice from time to time. His martial arts skills improved by leaps and bounds.


    Lu Meng approaching the moment, Deng AI did not take the initiative to attack, but clenched his hands, took a defensive way.


    Zhao Yun is in the yard. As long as he delays three or two moves, Zhao Yun can come out.


    Lu Meng''s hands are full of killing moves.


    Because in order to avoid his exposure, Lu Meng must win Deng AI in the shortest time. His right hand clenched into a fist, a fist, with a whistling sound, struggling to hit.


    Deng AI put his arm out and hit LV Meng on the arm, intending to ease this move.


    "Pa!"


    With a crash, Deng stepped back.


    After all, Deng AI is young, only in his early 10 years. Even though his physical development is good, he also practices martial arts with Deng Zhan and Zhao Yun, and even his moves are good, but there are too many defects in his strength.


    Lu Meng''s eyes were startled. The young man in front of him blocked his killing move.


    It''s amazing!


    When this boy grows up, he is also a disaster to Jiangdong.


    It must be killed!


    Lu Meng gained an advantage in one move. He took a step and rushed up quickly, intending to kill Deng AI with one punch. His fist was fierce, and his mouth murmured, "give up resistance, boy, or I''ll kill you."


    But Lu Meng made up his mind.


    As soon as the other side gives up resistance, kill the other side immediately.


    His fist, like a poisonous dragon, hit Deng AI''s chest.


    Deng AI''s eyes were calm, he couldn''t resist, so he quickly changed his steps and wanted to avoid the blow. In a hurry, Lu Meng was one step faster, one step blocked Deng AI''s retreat.


    As the fist approached, Deng AI had to clench his hands, put his arms together, and form a defense line to resist the blow.


    "Bang!"


    Two fists hit on the arm, the power of hegemony suddenly burst out. Under the impact of ferocious force, Deng AI couldn''t stop it. With a scream, his body flew out directly, fell to the ground and couldn''t get up any more.


    Lu Meng hit successfully, his eyes showed a trace of joy, quickly rushed forward.


    "Kick! Kick


    Lu Meng took two steps, and his face was excited.


    "Whew!"


    A harsh sound, suddenly sounded behind.


    Danger!


    Lu Meng''s heart rose unprecedented danger, he had no time to move forward. Because if he goes on, he will be killed. In the blink of an eye, Lu Meng rolled on the ground and avoided the blow.


    "Ai, are you ok?"


    Zhao Yun came up with a dragon gall silver gun in his hand.

 Chapter 241

    Although Zhao Yun is not a subordinate of Liu Xiu, he likes Deng AI and Zhao Yun from the bottom of his heart. Dunai is intelligent, hardworking and has no pettiness at all.


    In Zhao Yun''s eyes, this is a kid like a little brother.


    Deng AI coughed twice, got up and said, "brother Zilong, I''m ok. That man is LV Meng, a general under Zhou Yu. I met him in AI county and Nanchang County. This time in Xiangyang, he must be playing tricks behind the scenes and catching him. "


    Hearing the speech, LV Meng felt a thump in his heart.


    This kid knows him!


    Not good!


    This is Liu Xiu''s yard, otherwise how could this boy know him?


    Lu Meng took a look at Zhao Yun. When he saw the bright silver gun in Zhao Yun''s hand, he felt a shudder at the thought of the killing shot. Without any hesitation, Lu Meng turned and ran out of the courtyard wall.


    If you stay in the yard, you can''t escape.


    Get out of the wall!


    As long as you leave the prefecture, it''s vast and dark outside. He can escape by night.


    LV Meng is faster than Zhao Yun.


    "Hum!"


    As soon as the gun was shaken, the point of the gun was straight and straight. This shot, like a dragon going out to sea, went straight to LV Meng''s back. If LV Meng continues to move forward, the final result will definitely be pierced in the back.


    Lu Meng''s heart is urgent, a side body, once again avoided this gun.


    Just this delay, he completely face Zhao Yun.


    They stood face to face. Under such circumstances, LV Meng had been locked and could not escape. In particular, LV Meng has found that his opponent''s shooting skills are superb and his martial arts are excellent. It is almost impossible for him to escape.


    "In front of the general, if you run away, the name of the general will be written upside down."


    Zhao Yun is very confident with his silver gun.


    Lu Meng took out a one foot long dagger from his leg. He held the dagger with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice, "who are you? Liu Xiu has no master with a gun."


    "He''s Zhao Yun, Liu Bei''s man."


    A loud voice came from the room.


    "Creak!"


    The door opened and Huang Yueying pushed Liu Xiu out.


    What Liu Xiu is sitting on is a wooden wheel car, which was made by Huang Yueying. When Kuai Yue, Yi Ji and Wen pin started the big search, the Pang family and Huang family came to see Liu Xiu injured. When they went back, they told Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan.


    Two people in a hurry to see Liu Xiu, Huang Yueying also followed.


    Huang Yueying saw that Liu Xiu''s legs were injured and she couldn''t stand, so she made a wooden wheel car.


    Liu Xiu sat on it instead of lying on the bed all the time.


    Liu Xiu stared at LV Meng and continued: "Lv Xiaowei, you''re all right. I''ve been thinking about who is spreading rumors behind the scenes and who hates me so much. It turns out that it''s captain Lu. "


    At this point, Liu Xiu changed his words and said in a cold voice: "it''s just that LV Xiaowei came uninvited. It''s a bit unpleasant. Even if Dadu really cares about me, LV Xiaowei doesn''t have to come to Xiangyang to see me personally. But what I didn''t expect is that you came to the prefecture to assassinate me. You are so brave and brave. You dare to enter the dragon''s den and tiger''s den. Zhou Yu is inferior to you just by this. "


    Lu Meng snorted. He was so depressed that he was about to cry.


    He chose a place at random and wanted to enter the prefecture. Unexpectedly, he had too much luck. He went directly to Liu Xiu''s yard and met such a strong general. He was really choked when he was in bad luck.


    If only there were no one around Liu Xiu.


    Unfortunately, Zhao Yun is here.


    Lu Meng didn''t pay attention to Liu Xiu. His eyes fell on Zhao Yun. With Zhao Yun, he can''t escape now, but as long as Zhao Yun is solved, there will still be a chance to assassinate Liu Xiu. Although LV Meng knew that he was inferior to his opponent in martial arts, he always had to give it a try.


    "Kill


    With a roar, LV Meng rushed to Zhao Yun with a dagger.


    As the saying goes, one inch long and one inch strong, Lu Meng holds a dagger in his hand, intending to get close to Zhao Yun. As long as he approaches Zhao Yun''s body, Zhao Yun''s gun will lose its function, and he can subdue Zhao Yun.


    "A hundred birds make the best of the Phoenix!"


    Zhao Yun roared. He shook the bright silver gun in his hand, and the tip of the gun seemed to be alive.


    Countless gun shadows flicker in the air.


    In the light of lanterns, the rapidly changing guns seem to outline a phoenix with high wings. This Phoenix hovers and hisses in the air.


    Phoenix soars, birds bow!


    The sharp point of the spear is moving. It''s incomparable and can''t be approached by LV Meng.


    Even Lu Meng was forced to retreat.


    "No, it''s not an opponent at all. It''s impossible to get close."


    In LV Meng''s heart, such an idea came into being. He and Zhao Yun fight, intended to approach Zhao Yun after the start, but now the situation is completely at a disadvantage, there is no chance to win.


    "We have to change our strategy!"While resisting Zhao Yun''s attack, LV Meng''s mind turns.


    All of a sudden, his eyes swept Liu Xiu''s one eye, eyes a bright, Liu Xiu sat on the wooden wheel car hurt. Liu Xiu''s legs were covered with white cloth, and it was obviously impossible to move.


    It''s worth taking Liu Xiu or killing him.


    Zhao Yundi said: "distracted in the face of war, looking for death!"


    The tip of the gun, no move.


    "Poof


    The sharp point of the gun was nailed to LV Meng''s left shoulder. Zhao Yun''s shooting skill is exquisite. He clenches it with great force, and the point of the gun stabs in three points again. As the point of the gun suddenly pulls out, it brings out a lot of blood.


    Lu Meng clenched his teeth, but said nothing. In a flash, his left shoulder turned out, blood flowing. But Lu Meng didn''t care, as if it wasn''t his body that was injured, and his eyes were fixed on Liu Xiu.


    "Kill


    Instead of retreating, LV Meng rushed to Zhao Yun.


    "To die!"


    Zhao Yun drinks low, in hand''s Dragon gall bright silver spear, the spear tip is quick like lightning. With the distance between them getting closer, in an instant, the tip of the gun stabbed LV Meng''s chest directly.


    Lu Meng''s eyes were calm and his dagger was waving.


    "Ding!"


    The point of the gun collided with the dagger and produced a bright spark.


    Zhao Yun gun with people, gun in the air a shake, swept. A shadow of the stick passed in the air. The long Dan bright silver gun seemed to be a long stick. It shot out quickly.


    "Pa!"


    There was a dull sound, and the barrel of the gun was drawn at LV Meng''s waist.


    "Chaka!"


    Under the severe impact, Lu Meng''s ribs collapsed directly.


    However, Lu Meng''s steel teeth were clenched. With the help of Zhao Yun''s beating power, he stepped forward and crossed Zhao Yun, then rushed to Liu Xiu quickly and roared: "Liu Xiu, take your life!"


    Lu Meng''s face showed a trace of joy.


    Here''s the chance!


    As long as he killed Liu Xiu, or captured Liu Xiu alive, he would be worth it.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    The quick step does not give Zhao Yun the chance to pursue.


    "Young master!"


    Deng AI was anxious and rushed to Liu Xiu. Now Liu Xiu''s legs are injured and his movements are inconvenient. When he is assassinated by LV Meng, he can''t resist.


    At this time, Zhao Yun also quickly turned the gun to pursue. Zhao Yun did not expect that LV Meng saved the idea of deliberately injured, took the opportunity to get rid of him, and then quickly approached Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu watched LV Meng rush in, looking calm and just raised his hand.


    The direction of the arm, aimed at LV Meng.


    "Chaka!"


    There was a clear sound, which was not big. Only Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying heard it.


    "Whew!"


    The sharp roar rings, the pupil of LV Meng who is rushing forward shrinks, and sees a bright light flashing from Liu Xiu''s sleeve. All of a sudden, Lu Meng felt the pain of a cone in his body. The sharp arrow pierced LV Meng''s skin and pierced his left chest.


    Under the strong pain, Lu Meng''s offensive had already dissipated, and he could not help but scream.


    "Ah


    A shrill voice sounded in the yard.


    The red blood overflowed from his chest and dyed his clothes red. As soon as he stopped, Zhao Yun immediately caught up with him. A shot swept, the barrel of the gun slapped against LV Meng''s waist.


    Without any precaution, LV Meng was directly knocked out and fell to the ground. He was lying on the ground, coughing up blood in his mouth and despairing in his eyes.


    Lost!


    This time I lost!


    Lu Meng thought that if he got close to Liu Xiu, he would get a chance. He didn''t expect that Liu Xiu still had this skill, and he even had a sleeve arrow. Lu Meng struggled to stand up, but with a little effort, he felt the pain of the injured part of his chest.


    He roared, intending to force, but this moment, the wound cracked, and his spirit was also depressed, people directly fainted down, fainted on the ground.


    When Deng Ai saw this, he relaxed.


    Zhao Yun took the long Dan Liang silver gun. He waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xiu, I''ve taken it. I''ll leave the next thing to you."


    With that, Zhao Yun turned and went to his room.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Zilong, thank you very much."


    "No!"


    Zhao Yuntou did not return, pushed the door open and entered his room.

 Chapter 242

    Soon after the fighting came out, there were soldiers at the gate of the yard. Instead of letting the soldiers arrest LV Meng, Liu Xiu asked the soldiers to help him lie down in the room and called for a doctor to help him.


    In the courtyard, Deng AI looked like a murderous man and said, "young master, LV Meng is Zhou Yu''s general. This time he sneaked into Xiangyang to stir up the wind and rain. It''s time to kill him. Especially for the purpose of assassinating the young master. What''s more, killing LV Meng is also a great loss to Zhou Yu. "


    Liu xiudao: "Lv Meng''s ability is OK. If it can be used by me, it will weaken Zhou Yu to the greatest extent. But now, let''s wait for the doctor to treat LV Meng. "


    "Young master, the state Shepherd is here."


    Suddenly, Xia he came to Liu Xiu in a hurry to report.


    "Yueying, push me to meet my father."


    Liu Xiu didn''t expect to disturb Liu Biao. When Liu Biao came, he naturally wanted to meet him.


    Huang Yueying pushes Liu Xiu to the gate of the yard, and meets Liu Biao in a hurry. Huang Yueying bowed to salute and said in a soft voice, "Yueying has seen the governor."


    With a smile on his face, Liu Biao waved and said, "you''re welcome. Just call me uncle."


    "Thank you, uncle!"


    Huang Yueying is not polite either. Anyway, she is going to marry Liu Xiu, so she doesn''t have to be formal any more.


    Liu Biao''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu and asked with concern: "Xiuer, my father just got the news that someone has assassinated you. What about? It''s not hurt


    Liu Xiu a pair of grateful appearance, replied: "please father care, not hurt."


    "Where''s the assassin?" Liu Biao asked.


    Liu Xiu replied, "I''ve caught him, but he was seriously injured by general Zilong. Moreover, he was also hit by an arrow. Now he passed out and is being treated by a doctor. The assassin''s identity has also been confirmed. It''s general Lu Meng under Zhou Yu. This person may be the driving force behind Xiangyang, who led to the rumors in Xiangyang. "


    Liu Biao cold eyes, said: "such a person treatment to do, kill is."


    Liu Biao is also quite concerned about the gossip in Xiangyang City.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "father, if LV Meng is arrested, what if there are still LV Meng''s accomplices? So there''s going to be an interrogation. My son implored my father to let me handle it myself. "


    Liu Biao said, "if you want to deal with it, deal with it."


    Suddenly, Liu Biao said in a deep voice: "you met an assassin in the yard, but Cong''er didn''t come. Hum."


    The words revealed Liu Biao''s dissatisfaction.


    The younger brother was injured, so he should come to see him.


    Liu xiudao: "father, it''s late at night now. It''s freezing. It''s normal for the second brother to rest. And my yard is far away from my second brother''s, so it''s normal for him not to know the news. What''s more, just as LV Meng climbed over the wall and entered the yard, he was caught. It took only a moment. It didn''t make a big impact. Father, don''t blame the second brother. "


    Liu Biao sighed: "you are too considerate of others. Can he not know such a big thing about your family? "


    Liu Xiu didn''t take this. He didn''t want to talk about Liu Cong in front of Liu Biao.


    As soon as the words changed, Liu Xiu said: "father, it''s late at night. You should have a rest earlier. It''s cold now. It''s chilly standing in the yard. The assassin has been captured. It''s no big deal with his son. "


    "Well, it''s up to you."


    Liu Biao nodded and turned to leave.


    With Liu Biao''s departure, the soldiers in the yard also retreated one after another.


    After a while, the yard was completely quiet.


    Huang Yueying pushed Liu Xiu back to the room and said, "third brother, it seems that my uncle is still very concerned about you."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Yueying, there are some things you don''t understand."


    Liu Biao''s concern may now be sincere. But there are preconditions. Liu Xiu reassures Liu Biao that Liu Xiu has no ambition.


    If Liu xiuzhan showed his ambition and did not make any contribution, the situation would be different. This is the real situation in gaomen compound. It''s almost impossible for you to have the ability and want to prosper, or even get care or care.


    "Young master!"


    At this time, Deng AI''s voice came from outside the room.


    Deng AI Tui opened the door and came in. He reported: "after the doctor''s diagnosis and treatment for LV Meng, he was shot by elder brother Zilong and broke two ribs. Now, it has been connected. In addition, the arrow hit three inches to the right of his heart and nearly killed him. If he comes closer, he will die. It''s ok now, but it''s still sleeping


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "let people take care of him in the room, and then set up soldiers to guard him at the door of his room. We can''t let LV Meng escape."


    "I understand!"


    Deng AI nodded and went down to arrange.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Yueying and said, "Yueying, it''s late at night. Go back to your room and have a rest."


    "Well, good!" said Huang Yueying Huang Yueying helped Liu Xiu to his bed. After settling him down, he blew out the oil lamp and went back to his room.¡­¡­


    Cai''s courtyard is now deserted.


    Liu Biao never came to her yard since he failed to frame Liu Xiu. These days, Liu Biao simply sleeps directly in his study. This makes Cai''s heart even more desolate.


    Tsai sat in the room, facing the dresser alone, looking haggard.


    She hates Liu Xiu!


    This kid messed up everything for her.


    Once upon a time, Liu Cong was under her control. Liu Cong was deeply loved by Liu Biao and will certainly inherit Jingzhou in the future.


    Once, Liu Biao was very fond of her, but now he doesn''t care.


    Everything is because of Liu Xiu, leading to her all lost.


    Although Liu Xiu was generous in persuading Liu Biao not to blame Cai, so that CAI was free from harsh criticism, Cai''s heart did not have the slightest gratitude. On the contrary, CAI was even more resentful and even wanted revenge.


    Unfortunately, now she has lost Liu Biao''s favor and has no right at all. More importantly, she can''t even get out of the yard now. Only her maid went out and prepared food for her.


    "Dong! Dong


    Knock on the door, outside the room.


    "Ma''am, it''s me."


    The voice of the servant girl beside Cai suddenly sounded outside the door.


    Cai said, "come in!"


    The servant girl pushed the door open and came in. She saluted in front of CAI''s body respectfully and said: "madam, just now it''s reported that the assassin of Jiangdong assassinated xiugongzi. But xiugongzi was not injured, and Jiangdong''s assassin was also arrested. "


    Hearing the words, Cai sighed.


    What a pity! What a pity!


    If only Liu Xiu died.


    "Ma''am, come on, come on, the governor of the state is here."


    Suddenly, the voice of a servant girl came from outside the room.


    As soon as the servant girl''s words came out, there was a trace of hope on Cai''s face. She was forbidden by Liu Biao, so she couldn''t leave the yard, and she couldn''t take the initiative to find Liu Biao to reconcile. She had to wait for Liu Biao to find her.


    Now, Liu Biao has finally come.


    As long as Liu Biao comes to her, she will have a chance to ease her relationship with Liu Biao.


    Wearing a fox fur cloak, Cai got up and went out of the room. She stood at the door of the house, looking forward to life. Seeing Liu Biao, she leaned over and said, "husband!"


    Liu Biao nodded and went to the room.


    In the room, there is charcoal burning, warm heat hovering in the room, and I can''t feel cold at all.


    Cai waved the maid back and closed the door.


    She went to the back of Liu Biao, personally undressed him, took off his outer cloak, and hung it in the room.


    With a charming look on her face, Cai continued to undress Liu Biao and said in a soft voice: "my husband, I know I''m wrong. I''ve been lost for a while, so I made a mistake. My husband often says that it''s impossible to correct my mistakes. Now I''m willing to correct them. Why don''t you give me a chance? Is my husband so heartless? "


    With these words, Cai''s weak and boneless hand has been rubbing slowly on Liu Biao''s chest.


    Cai''s body, also pasted on.


    The pair of towering crispy chests were stuck on Liu Biao''s back, which made Liu Biao''s mind wander.


    Under Cai''s provocation, Liu Biao''s passion and desire were quickly teased. There was a strong desire on his face, and he caught Cai''s private place with his backhand.


    With a groan, CAI and Liu lie on the bed.


    In the room, warm as spring, Jiao pant bursts.


    Time is not long, the voice subsided, Liu Biao''s face also has a satisfied look.


    Cai''s face flushed, she lay beside Liu Biao, exhaled like orchid, slowly said: "husband, I will never dare again. I''ll never get involved in the affairs between Cong''er and Xiu''er again. My husband will forgive me this time. "


    Liu Biao''s heart gradually softened when he heard the speech.


    Although he was very disgusted and even angry with CAI''s way of doing things, listening to Cai''s words, his ears softened and his heart hardened. He nodded and said, "don''t make mistakes again. This matter. That''s it. "


    In a word, Cai will know.


    Cai''s thanks soon appeased Liu Biao.


    Just, Chua''s heart sneer, heart said: "Liu Xiu, this time you are powerful, wait, I will look for opportunities, will you completely put to death."


    For Liu''s renovation, Cai''s heart is still haunted.

 Chapter 243

    The next morning, Lu Meng woke up. Lu Meng was lying on the bed. His chest was covered with white cloth. The wound had been completely bandaged. His body move, immediately affected the injured wound, pain grinning.


    "Hiss! Hiss


    Lu Meng took a cool breath and looked at the present situation.


    He''s in the house!


    Liu Xiu didn''t put him in prison or kill him.


    When LV Meng woke up, the soldiers in the room immediately found out. Soldiers quickly open the door to report, and then the soldiers standing at the door also quickly to inform Liu Xiu.


    Soon, Deng AI pushed Liu Xiu to the room.


    Liu Xiu sat looking at LV Meng lying on the bed and said, "how do you feel, Xiao Wei Lu?"


    Lu Meng snorted and replied, "I can''t die yet."


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s best that you can''t die, or I won''t save you in vain?"


    With a disdainful expression, Lu Meng said: "Liu Xiu, if you want to save my life to make me surrender, you don''t have to. I, LV Meng, live in Jiangdong and die in Jiangdong. I can''t surrender. In this life, I will only be loyal to my Lord. "


    Liu Xiu said: "let''s not talk about surrender. Let''s talk about the people who came to Xiangyang this time. Besides you, who else came to Xiangyang? "


    Without any hesitation, Lu Meng said, "the people who came to Xiangyang this time, except me, have no other people. Do you believe me when I say that? "


    "Believe it


    Without hesitation, Liu Xiu nodded directly.


    Wenpin asked people to carry out a big search, and people from various vassals caught a lot of them, but there were very few people in Jiangdong.


    Lu Meng sneered and stopped talking.


    Liu Xiu said, "what did you do and who did you have contact with when you were in Xiangyang? Make it clear. Since yesterday, we have caught some Jiangdong soldiers you brought. If you explain everything clearly, I can spare their lives or even let them go. If they don''t, they can only stay in Xiangyang forever. "


    Lu Meng said, "can''t you guess what I came to Xiangyang to do?"


    Liu Xiu said, "I don''t want to guess!"


    Lu Meng snorted. He was not pleased with Liu Xiu''s attitude. But he wanted to consider the soldiers and said directly, "when I arrived in Xiangyang, I sent someone to kill you on purpose. This is the first thing. Then I sent someone to spread the news of your ambition and the idea that you want to compete with Liu Cong and Liu Qi for Jingzhou. Then, send someone to spread the news that you resent Liu Biao. "


    Lu Meng shrugged his shoulders and said, "in general, that''s the news."


    Liu Xiu said, "besides, what else have you done?" In the tone, there was an unquestionable refusal.


    Lu Meng said slowly, "I met a man when I was in Xiangyang."


    "Who?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed, and there was a trace of expectation in his eyes.


    Lu Meng laughed and said in a loud voice, "why should I tell you?"


    It''s also a good thing to see Liu Xiu''s weakness. Unfortunately, Liu Xiu''s eyes were calm, and he didn''t show any anger at all. His expression was as calm as ever.


    LV Meng didn''t achieve his goal. His eyes narrowed and he asked, "aren''t you curious? This man is very important. "


    "It''s Cai Mao," Liu said


    Lu Meng''s eyes showed a trace of surprise. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu knew. Liu Xiu looked at Lu Meng''s words and looked surprised, so he decided that the man he saw was Cai Mao.


    Liu Xiu had a general conclusion in his mind, and he wanted to confirm it again, so he said, "do you know what happened to the animal husbandry Prefecture the night before the big search in Xiangyang? I think you should send someone to look into it, but you didn''t find it. "


    Lu Meng nodded, his face showing a curious look.


    In fact, it was that night that Liu Xiu reversed the situation and gained Liu Biao''s trust. But what happened and what made Liu Biao change his mind is what LV Meng is most curious about.


    Liu Xiu explained: "that night, Cai Mao and Cai set me up, and I finally reversed the situation. In the end, Cai Mao lost his father''s trust and CAI was forbidden by his father. And I got my father''s trust again. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I suggested to my father that Xiangyang City should be allowed to enter and not be allowed to leave, and then started a thorough investigation. I didn''t expect that at the beginning, you were caught


    When LV Meng heard the speech, he suddenly realized.


    It turned out that Cai Mao was defeated, which led to the failure of his plan.


    Hateful!


    Cai Mao is a guy who can''t succeed but can''t fail!


    Liu Xiu continued: "what I want to know now is what you and Cai Mao have discussed. You can say it now." For Cai Mao, the Cai family and the Cai family, Liu Xiu was no longer willing to wait and wanted to bring down the Cai family at one stroke.


    During the trial of LV Meng, it was found out that Cai Mao had colluded with Jiangdong.


    In this way, the Cai family must be hit hard.


    Lu Meng wanted to offer Cai Mao. With the energy of the Cai family, he would not let Cai Mao submit easily. However, once the Cai family revolted, it would inevitably lead to internal strife in Jingzhou, which would also be of great benefit to the situation on the front line.Lu Meng quickly made a decision and said in a deep voice: "when you see Cai, Xiugong should have put some medicine in the wine. She''s going to seduce Xiugong. However, such means have failed. Xiugongzi is a good one. "


    Liu Xiu eyebrow head a pick, way: "this is you give Cai Mao''s suggestion?"


    "Yes


    Lu Meng laughed and was very proud.


    He stared at Liu Xiu and said slowly, "young master Xiu is good at both literature and martial arts, and has outstanding intelligence. It''s very difficult to bring you down by intrigue. So it''s the only chance. As long as you drink wine, you will want to burn yourself. At that time, Liu Biao will find out and take you down. "


    Lu Meng felt a touch of regret in his eyes and said: "once you are taken, I will send the news to the front line and make your men rebel. It further caused internal strife in Jingzhou. Unfortunately, I didn''t expect that you could turn the situation around in such a situation. It''s amazing


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu began to laugh.


    Cai Mao, Cai Mao!


    This time, see how you get out of my palm.


    With Lu Meng, Liu Xiu was much more relaxed in dealing with the Cai family and Cai Mao.


    Before Cai Mao framed Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu took the initiative to suggest to Liu Biao that things should be reduced to small ones to avoid leakage. But now Liu Xiu has enough evidence, especially Cai Mao''s collusion with Jiangdong''s people to frame Liu Xiu. This is different, and the nature is different.


    Lu Meng said in a deep voice: "I''m very curious. How did master Xiu break the plan I set? According to the plan, as long as you see Cai, you will jump into the Yellow River


    Liu Xiu gave a brief account of the situation at that time, the operation of turning the tables around, and then said, "in fact, it''s a very simple thing, not complicated."


    Looking at Liu Xiu, Lu Meng was even more shocked.


    Self harm!


    Liu Xiu shocked Liu Biao by self mutilation and forced him to calm down.


    Liu Xiu is really a ruthless and decisive person. Such means are really extraordinary. In other words, Lu Meng could not have done so well when he met the situation at that time.


    Liu Xiu''s face was serious, and said: "you are good at healing. When the injury recovers, we can talk about other things."


    Lu Meng said with a laugh: "master Xiu, it''s impossible for me to be obedient. I''ve already said that in my life, I only recognize Jiangdong Sun Quan, but I don''t recognize other people. "


    "We''ll see!"


    Liu Xiu left the room and let Deng AI push him back to the room.


    Immediately, Liu Xiu sent Yi Ji, Kuai Liang and Wen pin to the room.


    All three have learned that they have caught the people sent by Jiangdong, but they are still searching for them, because in the process of searching, they have also caught some other spies.


    Liu Xiu''s face was serious. He said with a straight face: "the reason why we invited three people here is that after the examination of LV Meng, it involves a very important matter. Let''s discuss this first, and then let father know. "


    Yi Ji said, "young master Xiu, please say it!"


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice, "didn''t you wonder what happened to your family that caused my legs to hurt? The two wounds on my thigh were stabbed by myself. "


    "Ah


    Wen pin looked shocked and said in surprise, "why did you stab yourself, young master Xiu?"


    Kuai Yue and Yi Ji also have an incredible expression.


    Liu Xiu''s expression was very relaxed and said slowly: "that night, Cai sent someone to send a letter to let me go to her yard. And then a series of things happened


    Liu Xiu explained what had happened in CAI''s house, and then said, "the scheme of sex seduction was conspired by Cai Mao and CAI, but the specific plan was made by LV Meng of Jiangdong. Lu Meng went to Cai Mao and told him about the plan, which Cai Mao carried out. "


    Kuai Yue said with emotion: "Cai Mao has been more and more out of line these years. Fortunately, young master Xiu responded in time to turn the tide. Otherwise, once framed, it will be very difficult to turn over. "


    Yi Ji also sighed and said slowly: "the situation at that time was extremely critical. If we can''t deal with it properly, we will easily fall into a hopeless situation. "


    Wenpin was murderous and scolded: "Cai Mao should die. Cai is the most poisonous woman."


    Liu xiudao: "it''s all in the past. Now we have to consider how to tell our father. The Cai family''s repeated provocations now hold the handle of CAI Mao''s collusion with LV Meng of Jiangdong, and we must bring the Cai family down at one stroke. "


    Kuai Yue said: "I''m afraid it''s difficult for Mr. Xiu to take this opportunity to overthrow the Cai family. After all, the foundation of the Cai family in Jingzhou is not simple. Jingzhou''s largest ethnic group is intertwined and hard to control. "


    Liu Xiu said: "even if we don''t bring down the Cai family, we should let Cai Mao lose his power completely. In any case, we must solve the threat brought by the Cai family, otherwise Cai Mao will continue to cause trouble in the future. More importantly, as long as the Cai family falls down, or the Cai family encounters difficulties, the power behind the second elder brother will disappear completely. "


    Yi Ji said: "young master Xiu is right. This is a great opportunity and we can''t miss it. If heaven does not take it, it will take the blame. The opportunity is in front of us. We can''t miss it. "Four people were sitting in the room, discussing.


    After a full discussion for an hour and a half, we finally decided on a plan for the Cai family. After the three left, Liu Xiu had lunch. In the afternoon, Huang Yueying pushed him to Liu Biao''s study.


    Liu Biao''s support is necessary to target the Cai family.


    Liu Xiu entered the study, saw Liu Biao, then waved to Huang Yueying to go out.

 Chapter 244

    Liu Biao said with a smile, "Xiuer, what''s the matter?"


    Liu Xiu''s face was dignified and said slowly: "father, this morning, his son interrogated LV Meng and got the result. It''s just that the result of the interrogation is very surprising. The son doesn''t dare to make decisions without authorization. He needs to ask his father''s advice. "


    Liu Biao frowned at this.


    Even Liu Xiu is in trouble, which shows that things are not simple.


    Now Liu Xiu has the impression that he is a man who can handle affairs, and he believes in Liu Xiu.


    Liu Biao said, "what is the result of the interrogation?"


    Liu Xiu replied: "after the interrogation, LV Meng explained that the reason why he was able to call the wind and rain in Xiangyang and frame up his son was that he colluded with CAI Mao. It is Lu Meng''s plan that Cai Mao and his mother unite to frame his son. After seeing Cai Mao, LV Meng told Cai Mao the plan, and then Cai Mao told Cai''s family and framed his son. "


    Brush!


    Liu Biao''s face became gloomy.


    Collude with Jiangdong!


    This is a big crime.


    To be sure, Liu Biao knew that Cai Mao could not work for Sun Quan, and colluded with LV Meng to frame Liu Xiu. However, Cai Mao''s practice has violated the interests of Jingzhou.


    In a sense, Cai Mao''s actions have betrayed Liu Biao and Jingzhou.


    Do whatever you want for the benefit!


    Liu Biao did not dare to reuse such a person.


    Liu Biao felt that Cai Mao had gone too far and said in a deep voice, "when I entered Xiangyang as my father, I got the help of CAI Mao and the Cai family. Therefore, for his father, he tolerated him everywhere and gave convenience to the Cai family everywhere. As long as Cai Mao didn''t cooperate with the enemy and betray Jingzhou, he would never be moved by his father. But now Cai Mao has gone too far. Xiuer, tell wenpin to send troops to encircle Cai''s house and arrest Cai Mao for questioning. "


    "No father!"


    Liu Xiu opened his mouth and quickly stopped him.


    Before he came, he had discussed with Yi Ji, Wen pin and Kuai Yue about the countermeasures. The next step should be in accordance with Liu Xiu''s plan, and should not be disturbed, otherwise it will not achieve the effect Liu Xiu wants.


    Cai Mao took the initiative to send it to the door, but Liu Xiu didn''t do it, so I''m sorry for Cai Mao.


    This time, Cai Mao will be defeated completely.


    Together with the Cai family, we need to bring them down completely, so that they will not return to the past.


    Liu Xiu looked serious and said in a deep voice: "his father trusted Cai Mao so much that Cai Mao was very influential in the army. Once Cai Mao is captured, I''m afraid the soldiers in the army will mutiny, and the Cai family is deeply rooted in Jingzhou. If Cai Mao goes wrong, Jingzhou''s Officialdom will be shaken. Father, it''s a long-term plan to arrest Cai Mao. "


    Liu Biao squinted and said, "what do you suggest?"


    Liu Xiu noticed the change of tone in Liu Biao''s words, but he didn''t answer immediately.


    After a moment''s silence, Liu Xiucai said slowly: "before catching Cai Mao, his son thought that there should be a decision on the disposal of CAI Mao. Cai Mao was the Assistant Minister of his father''s first visit to Jingzhou. Without Cai Mao''s help, although his father could pacify Jingzhou, he would certainly spend more time. Therefore, in any case, his father could not put Cai Mao to death or imprison him. "


    Speaking of this, Liu xiudao said: "because once Cai Mao is executed or imprisoned, it will have an impact on his father''s reputation."


    As soon as the words came out, there was a smile on Liu Biao''s face.


    After listening to what Liu Xiu said just now, Liu Biao subconsciously thought that Liu Xiu wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to overthrow Cai Mao. After all, there was a contradiction between the two sides.


    Liu Xiu''s next words, Liu Biao immediately relieved, because Liu Xiu is standing in the perspective of fairness and justice.


    In this way, Liu Biao was relieved.


    Liu Biao nodded and said, "your analysis is very reasonable. We really need to consider how to deal with CAI Mao."


    Liu Xiu looked more and more calm and said: "father, based on the analysis just now, his son thinks that this time he will not arrest Cai Mao, nor imprison and kill Cai Mao, but he should teach Cai Mao a lesson and beat Cai Mao to let him know the lesson."


    Liu Biao asked: "how to knock, how to teach?"


    Liu Xiu replied: "father, son has two points to consider."


    "First, transfer the officials of CAI Mao''s first department from their present positions to another county or county. This method is to boil the frogs in warm water to avoid putting pressure on the father after Cai Mao is treated


    "Second, all the generals who were attacked by Cai Mao were promoted to official posts, but they were only given empty posts. This is a disguised aerial move. In this way, to avoid Cai Mao being dismissed from office would incite the soldiers in the army to cause rebellion and add disturbance to his father. "


    "Today is a time of chaos, and there are many examples of rebellion by military generals. In particular, Cai Mao as a military commander, civil and military generals, he had an influence. The Cai family is also deeply rooted. If Cai Mao''s arms are not weakened in advance, his father will not be able to deal with CAI Mao. "


    Liu Xiu said two things and said, "father, this is what his son did to Cai Mao. Please correct it."


    Liu Biao was very satisfied with his two suggestions.


    Liu Xiu''s cleverness lies in that he wants to weaken Cai Mao''s power, but from the perspective of Liu Biao, he thinks about Liu Biao everywhere and Jingzhou everywhere.Although Liu Biao valued Cai Mao, he was also afraid of him.


    Liu Biao is the leader of Jingzhou. Cai Mao has violated Liu Biao''s interests and must be attacked by him.


    Liu Biao nodded in agreement and said, "your proposal is feasible. Only in this way can Cai Mao''s influence be weakened. But if I do, I''m still worried. Will it cause turbulence? "


    For Cai Jia and Cai Mao, Liu Biao is also quite afraid.


    Even if Liu Xiu had arranged his plan, Liu Biao was still a little worried.


    Liu xiudao: "it''s normal for officials to be dispatched and generals to be promoted. As long as it''s done quickly, there won''t be any problems. In particular, there will be no problem if the general wenpin is in charge. He is my father''s confidant. If you have him in Xiangyang, you don''t have to worry. As for civil servants, there are Yi Ji and Kuai Yue, who are also loyal to their father. They are in command and will not have any problems. "


    After listening to Liu Biao, he felt at ease and said, "in that case, we should follow this strategy."


    Liu Biao also thinks it can weaken Cai Mao and the Cai family.


    When Liu Biao was in charge of Jingzhou, he needed the help of the aristocratic family. But now, he has been in power for more than ten years, and he has already realized the constraints of the aristocratic family on Jingzhou.


    Now, with a reason, it can be operated for a while, and it can also test the reaction of the Cai family.


    Liu Xiu went on and said, "if you weaken Cai Mao''s arm, you will be dealing with CAI Mao. To his disposal, the son''s idea is to demote the official. This shows that Cai Mao made a mistake and was demoted, not betrayed. It also reflects his father''s protection of CAI Mao and his father''s opportunity to redeem him. "


    Liu Biao asked, "why is it most appropriate to demote an official?"


    With a smile in his eyes, Liu Xiu said: "father, when my son was reading, he saw Emperor Hanwu and Dongfang Shuo. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was deliberating, there were Dongfang Shuo standing with a halberd or guarding outside the palace gate. "


    "But why did Emperor Hanwu do that?"


    "My son thinks that on the one hand, Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty wanted to beat Dongfang Shuo to stabilize his jumping temperament; on the other hand, he also gave Dongfang Shuo an opportunity to see it and give him room for promotion."


    Liu xiudao said: "in ancient times, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was like this. Now, my father might as well let Cai Mao stand guard at the gate of the prefecture. On the one hand, it is beating and punishing Cai Mao, on the other hand, it also gives him a chance to rise again. "


    In his words, Liu Xiu compared Liu Biao with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.


    For a time, Liu Biao''s heart was full of joy.


    Liu Biao was flattered and felt that Liu Xiu''s words were reasonable. With a flick of his sleeve, he said, "your suggestion is very good, so it''s settled. Knock for a while, and wait for Cai Mao to reflect. At that time, let''s see Cai Mao''s performance. "


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "my father is wise!"


    Liu Biao thought for a moment, then said: "the specific operation, you go to deal with Yi Ji. When it comes to the order to use seal, let Yi Ji come to find him as father. "


    Liu xiudao gave thanks and had a smile in his heart.


    Liu Biao agreed to deal with CAI Mao, and then Cai Mao had to enter the urn.

 Chapter 245

    Liu Biao yawned and the age spots on his face became more and more obvious. After talking with Liu Xiu for a while, he couldn''t hold on. He was already flustered. He forced himself up and said, "Hugh, is there anything else?"


    "There''s nothing else for my son," Liu said


    Liu Biao made a sound, waved his hand and said, "deal with the matter as soon as possible. Let''s go down."


    "Yes! My son is leaving. "


    Liu Xiu sat on the wooden wheel car and called Huang Yueying.


    With a creak, Huang Yueying pushed the door open and came in. She bowed to Liu Biao, then pushed Liu Xiu out of the study. After leaving Liu Biao''s yard, Huang Yueying pushes Liu Xiu back to the yard.


    Huang Yueying said, "third brother, how do your legs feel today?"


    Liu Xiu said: "don''t worry, it has recovered a lot."


    Huang Yueying nodded. Liu Xiu was ok, and she was relieved.


    Liu Xiu took Huang Yueying''s hand and said in a soft voice, "Yueying, there are a lot of things these days, and I can''t accompany you. On the contrary, it''s hard for you to push me back and forth."


    Huang Yueying said, "it''s OK. I like it."


    "Silly girl!"


    Liu Xiu chuckled and said, "push me to the study and call Xiao AI."


    Huang YUEYE, after pushing Liu Xiu to his study, called Deng AI.


    "Young master!"


    Deng AI stood in front of Liu Xiu and saluted.


    Liu Xiu said, "go out of the city immediately and invite the teacher and Mr. Chengyan to Lianxiang building. I have something to discuss with them."


    "No!"


    Deng AI nodded and immediately went out of the house.


    Liu Xiu called the soldiers and invited Yi Ji, Kuai Liang and Wen pin.


    Liu Xiu had a look of joy on his face and said slowly: "three, I have met my father and obtained his consent. Now, we can start to cut off Cai Mao''s cronies in Jingzhou, whether in the army or in the officialdom, all of them will be transferred or elevated. "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "my father said that Mr. Ji Bo would handle the necessary procedures. If the imperial edict needs to be sealed, please ask Mr. Ji Bo to find his father to seal the seal of Zhou mu. Now, it''s time to act. "


    Three people smell speech, the eyes showed excited look.


    At the beginning, Yi Ji remained neutral. As Liu Xiu''s performance became better and better, he gradually stood on Liu Xiu''s side. Now, when Liu Xiu deals with CAI Mao, Yi Ji is completely on Liu Xiu''s side.


    It can be said that Yi Ji, Kuai Yue and Wen pin have all obeyed Liu Xiu''s orders.


    Kuai Yue thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "it''s no problem to weaken Cai Mao''s power in the officialdom and the army at the same time. It''s only about the Cai family. If we want to deal with the Cai family, we must have the cooperation of the Pang family and the Huang family. Did you send someone to invite them? "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "don''t worry, Mr. Yidu. He has sent someone to invite him. Next, I will talk with my teacher and Mr. Chengyan in Lianxiang building. When they get to Lianxiang building, they will invite Mr. zirou to have a talk with the three families. "


    "No problem!"


    Kuai Yue nodded with a smile on his face.


    Although the Cai family is the only one in Jingzhou, the Kuai family, Pang family and Huang family are not small families. When they are united, even the Cai family dare not take advantage of them.


    Liu Xiu wants to move Cai Mao and brush down Cai''s family. He has done everything in his power.


    After Kuai Yue, Wen pin and Yi Ji left, Liu Xiu asked Huang Yueying to push them away from the prefecture. With the help of the soldiers, they got on the carriage and went to Lianxiang building. It''s a different taste to go to Lianxiang building.


    With the help of the attendant, Liu Xiu went up to the second floor and sat in the elegant room.


    Huang Yueying stood by, looking at the lotus pond outside the window, with a curious expression on her face, and said, "third brother, I heard that you saw your father and uncle Pang for the first time. Is it here?"


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "yes, here it is. It was the time when the lotus flowers were in full bloom. The lotus flowers were budding and beautiful." Although more than half a year has passed, it is still fresh in my mind. Because that meeting with Lord pound laid the foundation for him to learn from him later.


    It can be said that lianxianglou is an important turning point in Liu Xiu''s life.


    Huang Yueying talks with Liu Xiu. Most of the time, Liu Xiu talks about all kinds of things, either in Xu county or in Jiangdong. They are all very simple customs, but Huang Yueying listens to them with relish.


    In the evening, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan came to Lianxiang building. Liu Xiu sent someone to invite Kuai Liang.


    At this time, there were no other guests on the second floor of Lianxiang building, except Liu Xiu, Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan, Kuai Liang and Huang Yueying. The shopkeeper of Lianxiang building knew Liu Xiu''s identity, came up and said, let Liu Xiu use it, and then went downstairs to wait.


    "Hugh, how about the thigh?" pound said


    Liu Xiu said: "it''s not a big problem, just can''t use force. These days, it''s Yueying who pushes me around, but it''s hard work. "


    Huang Yueying smiles and looks happy. She doesn''t feel hard. Liu Xiu is often outside and seldom returns to Xiangyang. She and Liu Xiu meet day by day. On such a day, Huang Yueying feels happy.Huang Chengyan said straight to the point: "repair boy, we are in a hurry to find, what''s the matter?"


    Liu Xiu ordered: "Yueying, you let the attendant guard the corridor, don''t let people come up."


    Huang Yueying said: "you can discuss things. I''ll go to the corridor downstairs and watch. No one will come up."


    She didn''t interfere in Liu Xiu''s affairs and didn''t ask much.


    Liu Xiu nodded. After Huang Yueying went down, he restrained his smile and said, "teacher, I''ve decided to deal with the Cai family. Now, I''ve got my father''s permission. "


    "Why? How can a state animal husbandry agree? "


    Pound frowned and looked puzzled in his eyes.


    Up to now, he did not know that Liu Xiu''s thigh injury was Liu Xiu''s own.


    Liu Xiu sighed and said, "because Cai Mao colluded with Jiangdong people to frame me." Immediately, Liu Xiu talked about self mutilation, the capture of LV Meng, and even Liu Biao''s decision to deal with CAI Mao.


    Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and Kuai Liang were surprised.


    Unexpectedly, there are so many things in it.


    Pang said: "Cai''s heart is like a snake and scorpion. Cai Mao colludes with Jiangdong. It''s damned. It''s worse than animals." Although Liu Xiu was his disciple, pound was treated as his son.


    What happened to Liu Xiu made pound angry.


    Huang Chengyan has regarded Liu Xiu as his son-in-law for a long time. He also said, "Cai Mao keeps making trouble. Now it''s OK to take Cai Mao down completely and suppress the Cai family."


    Kuai Liang said: "young master Xiu has changed the situation. Otherwise, the situation will be unimaginable. "


    Liu Xiu smile, said: "although the situation was dangerous, but also nothing." As soon as the words changed, Liu xiudao said: "now, Yi Ji, Wen pin and Kuai Yue have begun to weaken Cai Mao''s power in officialdom and army. Soon, Cai Mao will be removed from office. The purpose of inviting the three gentlemen is to prevent the Cai family from acting rashly and hope that the three elders will join hands to suppress the Cai family. "


    Pound is just: "it''s no problem to suppress the Cai family. These days, I and Chengyan stay in the city temporarily to avoid unexpected events


    Kuai Liang said: "the Kuai family is duty bound. I will mobilize the power of the Kuai family to monitor every move of the Cai family. Once the Cai family has any action, I will inform Pang Gong and Huang Gong and work together to deal with it. "


    "Yes


    Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan nodded at the same time.


    After an hour of careful discussion, the four of them considered all aspects of the matter thoroughly, and then concluded the conversation.


    By this time, it was dark.


    The attendant carries Liu Xiu into the carriage, and Huang Yueying follows Liu Xiu back to the prefecture.

 Chapter 246

    One day, the officialdom in Jingzhou was in turmoil.


    The scope of the unrest was limited to the officials of CAI Mao''s department. All the people have been transferred from their original posts, and even the new officials have been in place on the same day, directly completing the handover.


    After these officials were promoted or elevated, they went to Caifu.


    In the hall, Cai Mao sat at the top and looked at the officials below. With a puzzled expression on his face, he asked, "come and find me. What can I do for you?"


    Everyone came to the Cai family. This battle is a bit unusual.


    Even if Cai Mao is a drummer, he is also a drummer.


    A gray haired old man in his sixties was in tears and said, "military strategist, it''s not a good thing. The lower official, as Hu Cao of Xiangyang County, is in charge of Xiangyang''s money bag. This morning, the governor of the state gave an order to directly remove the subordinate from office, saying that he was transferred to a county of Wuling County as magistrate. "


    The old man sighed: "although it''s promotion, Wuling county is far away from home and there are many mountains and forests, and barbarians often come and go. On the surface, the promotion of a junior official to a county magistrate is actually a disguised demotion. I''m afraid that time is running out before I take office in Wuling county. Commander, you have to make the decision for me. "


    At this point, the old man with a runny nose and a tear said, "if it''s really not good, I will have to resign."


    A middle-aged man answered and said, "military adviser, I am the county magistrate of Xiangyang County. It''s not a big official position, but it''s also a good position in Xiangyang County. Now, Zhou Mu ordered that his subordinate be promoted to the magistrate of Chenyang County, Wuling county. According to Yi Ji, Chenyang county has a broad terrain, and its area is larger than that of three or five Xiangyang counties


    At this point, the middle-aged man opened his mouth and said: "Chenyang county is poor, with mountains and forests everywhere. It is said that Chenyang county will be attacked three or five times a year by barbarians. When I went to Chenyang County, I''m afraid I would die in the hands of barbarians in less than a year. Sergeant, it can''t be like this. It is neither moral nor reasonable for the governor to do so. "


    "Ah, you are Wuling County, too."


    The old man with white hair spoke with a look of surprise.


    The middle-aged man said, "yes, this time it''s so strange. It''s decided directly that there''s no room for turning around. Now the new county magistrate is in place and there are new officials. "


    "Well, don''t say it. If you want to say bitter, who can have me bitter. I was appointed to Lingling County as magistrate. Lingling County borders Jiaozhou, which is even more unsettled. "


    "Lingling county is nothing. I was assigned to Jiaozhou. Although a part of Jiaozhou is under the control of zhoumu, there are many disputes and wars in Jiaozhou. When I go to Jiaozhou, it''s even more dangerous. "


    As officials spoke, Cai Mao''s mouth twitched and his heart was already filled with anger.


    Hateful!


    How hateful!


    In order to deal with him, he directly adjusted everyone in his department. In name, it is a promotion, but it is an overt promotion and a covert promotion, even a derogation to a remote place. Once all the members of his department went to Lingling County, Wuling county and Jiaozhou county to take up their posts, the hearts of CAI Mao''s officials would be dispersed and could not unite.


    Cai Mao gave a big overhaul and said in a deep voice, "don''t worry, this matter will be dealt with by our official."


    In the face of the officials under his command, he can''t say anything demoralizing.


    Otherwise, people will be more dispersed.


    Cai Mao also knew that his current situation was not good, especially after Liu Xiu reversed the situation, Liu Biao had a great opinion on him. There is no doubt that Liu Biao agreed to this adjustment.


    Although Cai Mao knew Liu Biao''s character well and knew that Liu Biao''s ears were soft, he didn''t have much confidence in letting him go to find Liu Biao. He didn''t persuade Liu Biao to take back the order.


    However, others were completely relieved after listening to Cai Mao''s words.


    "The military strategist is the confidant of the governor. If the military strategist persuades the governor, he can certainly ask him to take back the order."


    "With a military adviser, everything is OK."


    One by one, the dejected look on his face disappeared and he regained his look of laughter.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, outside the hall, a servant came in quickly.


    "What''s the matter?" Cai Mao asked


    The servant replied, "master, a group of armored generals came outside and asked to see the master."


    As soon as these words came out, Cai Mao''s heart suddenly had a bad feeling. The officials of Jingzhou civil service department were promoted one by one. Now the generals are coming. Are all the generals of his department taken down.


    Cai Mao said, "please!"


    The attendant gave the order, and soon a sound of rapid footsteps came from far and near.


    Noisy voice, also into the hall.


    A group of armed generals, dressed in armor, with a face full of flesh and blood and a look of anger in their eyes, rushed into the hall. After everyone stood still, they bowed to Cai Mao.


    Standing in the front of a humanitarian: "military division, I used to be a captain in the army. Now I''ve been promoted and become a partial general in the army, but all the soldiers under my command have been taken over. They are called partial general, but there are no soldiers, and they are directly overhead. Commander, whose decision is this? How can it be like this? "Another man said, "commander, I''m the commander in the army. There are some soldiers under my command. But now I''ve become a general, and the soldiers under my command are no longer there, and they are also elevated. What''s the matter? "


    All the generals spoke one after another, and their emotions fluctuated greatly, cadenced, and very angry.


    The most important thing is that the adjusted generals are limited to the generals of CAI Mao''s family. None of the generals of other factions has been adjusted. Now Cai Mao''s family of hostile people are cheering and celebrating.


    This situation makes them even more angry.


    Therefore, after all the generals colluded with each other, they all came to Cai''s house and wanted to invite Cai Mao.


    At this moment, Cai Mao''s heart, a bone chilling, and even his heart, with a trace of panic. The other side''s action was too simple. Not only the civil service department, but also the general department.


    To achieve such an effect, Liu Biao must have nodded.


    Cai Mao asked, "who gave the order in the army?"


    One of the generals said, "wenpin took over the army, and he gave the order to the state herdsmen. Because he is in charge of the army, we have no choice. No one else will take over the army. "


    Cai Mao''s mouth twitched and his heart sank.


    Wenpin is a great general in Jingzhou and a confidant of Liu Biao. Wenpin personally took over all the soldiers in Xiangyang, and the situation became more complicated. As for civil servants, Yi Ji did it himself.


    In this way, Cai Mao is very passive, and it is difficult to reverse the situation.


    Cai Mao''s mood became chaotic, but he couldn''t let it go. These are his people. He can''t tell these people that I''m all nipusa. I can''t protect myself when I cross the river.


    Now, he has to take responsibility.


    Cai Mao said, "don''t worry. I''ll go to see Zhou Mu and let him readjust."


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, another attendant came in.


    The attendant looked worried and panicked and said, "military adviser, master Xiu is here, and Yi Ji is with him. Behind them, there''s a team of soldiers. "


    "Boom!"


    The civil and military generals in the hall exploded.


    Liu Xiu and Yi Ji came to the Cai family at this time with soldiers. What''s their intention? The civil and military officials in the hall were all in a panic.


    Cai Mao snorted and said, "please come in."


    "No, I''m here."


    Liu Xiu''s loud voice rang out at the entrance of the hall. All the people went to see Liu Xiu sitting on the wooden wheel car at the entrance of the hall. The soldiers carried the wooden wheel car into the hall, and then Deng AI pushed the wooden wheel car slowly into the hall.


    Yi Ji followed and came in.


    Beside them, the soldiers stood in awe. These soldiers, all wearing helmets and armor, are so fierce that people dare not approach them.


    Cai Mao said seriously, "what''s the matter with Mr. Xiu coming to Cai''s house?"


    With a smile on his lips, Liu Xiu said, "it''s natural that you have something important to deal with when you come to see Mr. Cai. Oh, this should be the last time to call you commander CAI. Wait a minute, and you''ll be no longer a military strategist. "


    Suddenly, there was an uproar in the hall.


    Everyone''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu, wondering why he said such a thing? Maybe Cai Mao was also denounced. The way they look at Cai Mao is even more strange.


    Did Cai Mao make any mistakes?


    All the people look puzzled and don''t know the current situation.


    Cai Mao said, "Liu Xiu, what do you mean?"


    Liu Xiu said, "Cai Mao, don''t you understand up to now? Last night, I caught the person who gave you advice. You will harm others and yourself. Now he has given up everything. "


    "Well!"


    Cai Mao''s eyes showed a look of panic.

 Chapter 247

    Give advice, harm others, harm yourself!


    Obviously, it was Lu Meng who gave advice.


    In fact, Cai Mao did not know the name of LV Meng, but only knew that LV Meng was disguised as a businessman in Jiangdong. Moreover, Cai Mao knew that the other party''s identity was not simple, and he was definitely not a businessman, but Cai Mao did not pursue it. Because Cai Mao took the other side''s stratagem, he had a chance to win Liu Xiu.


    Unexpectedly, not only did he not win Liu Xiu, but he put himself in a dilemma.


    Now, Liu Xiu has caught the people behind the scenes, which is a great blow to Cai Mao.


    Cai Mao said in a deep voice, "do you want to catch me?"


    As soon as you say this, you admit what you have done. After hearing this, the civil servants and generals of CAI Mao''s Department changed their looks. Now Cai Mao can''t protect himself, and it''s even more impossible to help them.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "you have made great contributions to Jingzhou. You are a hero of Jingzhou. My father said, "as long as you don''t betray Jingzhou, you won''t be arrested or severely punished."


    Cai Mao sneered: "isn''t the punishment serious now? Ha, young master Xiu is really a good means. "


    Although there is no real punishment on Cai Mao, all his strength has been cut off. This kind of means, like a sword stabbing at Cai Mao''s heart, made Cai Mao very uncomfortable.


    Cai Mao said, "come on, what are you going to do with me?"


    After all, Liu Biao will definitely deal with him.


    Sitting on the wooden wheel car, Liu Xiu took out a silk book and read, "my father has decided to dismiss you as a military adviser. From today on, let''s go to the gate of the prefecture and guard the gate. When the time is right, you will be reinstated. "


    Brush!


    The look on Cai Mao''s face was even more ugly.


    Stand guard!


    He''s the head of the Cai family. He has to shake his feet twice in Xiangyang. He went to the prefecture to stand guard. It''s a big joke. Cai Mao''s eyes were cold. He said, "the governor of Zhou Mu thinks highly of CAI. He has a mediocre ability and is not competent for the official position, so he has to resign and retire."


    Others are big. Standing at the gate of the prefecture, people who come and go will see them. Even officials in and out of Jingzhou will encounter Cai Mao. Where is Cai Mao''s face? Where is the face of the Cai family?


    Cai Mao''s refusal was expected by Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "if you are in a hurry to refuse, you can''t think about it clearly. At that time, it will be bad for the Cai family. You know, the crime you committed this time is very serious. "


    The meaning of the threat is fully revealed.


    Yi Ji said: "De Li, it''s just standing guard. It''s no big deal. Let''s talk about it first. "


    Yi Ji said it lightly, but it was funny in his heart.


    It''s really sad that Cai Mao, the head of the great Cai family, has been forced to this stage. But if you don''t seek death, you won''t die. If Cai Mao didn''t aim at Liu Xiu everywhere, it might not be like this.


    Cai Mao is responsible for all this.


    Cai Mao stares at Yi Ji and looks at Liu Xiu. He clenches his steel teeth and his anger rises. He still doesn''t plan to follow this order, because once he takes it, his face will be completely lost.


    At this moment, Cai Mao was completely swept face.


    In front of the officials of his department, he was slapped in the face by Liu Xiu.


    "Newspaper!"


    The report sounded again outside the hall.


    Cai Mao heard this voice, his heart thumped, is there anything else?


    Cai Mao looked at Liu Xiu and his heart was cold. From the beginning to the present, the plan has been linked one by one continuously. Such means must be Liu Xiu''s masterpiece. Liu Xiu had used a series of tactics against taishici, against Jiangdong Sun Quan, and against Zhou Yu.


    Once the plan is launched, it will be a series of blows.


    A moment later, Cai''s housekeeper came up.


    The housekeeper came to Cai Mao''s side, attached his ear to Cai Mao''s ear, and said in a low voice, "master, it''s not good. The Kuai family, the Huang family and the Pang family have joined together, and they are already shops aimed at the Cai family. Today, the Cai family is constrained everywhere, and the situation is very bad. "


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Sad laughter came from Cai Mao''s mouth.


    Cai Mao asked the housekeeper to step down, looked at Liu Xiu and said, "young master Xiu is really a good tool. If you don''t move, you''ll have to. If you move, you''ll be like thunder and fire. You have blocked all the ways. Is that to force me to agree? "


    Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "what does Mr. Cai say? I cannot understand. All I know is that commander Cai played a good play in zhoumu Prefecture before. Ah, it''s just a report for a report. "


    Cai Mao snorted: "I don''t take orders?"


    Liu Xiu said, "why do you have to be a military adviser? If you don''t think about yourself, you should also think about the Cai family. "


    Cai Mao really understood this. The Huang family, the Kuai family and the Pang family were all planned by Liu Xiu.


    Good, good


    Cai Mao sneered, and the look in his eyes showed silent anger.


    However, he is very powerless, powerless to reverse.Liu Xiu said with a light smile: "commander Cai, it''s better to get used to it. Isn''t it just to stand guard? It''s really easy. Come on, take the order. Take the order and you''ll be ready to stand guard. "


    With these words, Liu Xiu handed out the silk book in his hand.


    Cai Mao looked angry, but he could not refuse. Liu Xiu a hand, all his roads are blocked, do not give him the slightest room to resist. If he refuses, not only will he be arrested, but the Cai family will also be hit.


    "I''ll take it!"


    Cai Mao took a deep breath and took the cloth directly into his hand.


    "Well, that''s right."


    Liu Xiu praised and said, "come on, take up the clothes for the guard."


    A soldier came forward with a suit in his hands.


    This dress was specially made by Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu took a look at the soldier and scolded, "what are you doing with your hands? If you don''t spread it out for the military adviser, oh, no, it should be for the guard to have a look."


    The soldier grasped the collar and spread out his robe.


    This robe is black, which is no different from ordinary robes. The only difference is that the position of the chest embroidered with a white door word.


    A white circle is embroidered around the character.


    The clothes are similar to those of later prisoners, and they all have a mark.


    Obviously, Liu Xiu deliberately targeted Cai Mao.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "Mr. Cai, please."


    Cai Mao swallowed his saliva and took the clothes numbly. He looked at the officials under his command, said nothing, and turned to the back yard. The officials in this hall are standing in the same place one by one, neither going nor staying, which is very embarrassing.


    At this moment, they finally understand that Cai Mao has fallen down!


    They were transferred because of CAI Mao.


    Liu Xiu looked at these officials and said in a deep voice, "you guys, I know you are all capable people. But now, you''re in trouble. But it doesn''t matter. As long as you do well in your respective posts and make some achievements, you will soon readjust your official posts and even go to a higher level. "


    "Well, it''s all over. Don''t stay in the way."


    Liu Xiu waved and all the people stepped down.


    All the officials, swarming out, soon walked clean.


    In the hall, only Liu Xiu, Yi Ji and others were left.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of footsteps came from outside the hall. A servant came in, stood beside Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Xiu, please."


    The old man of the Cai family is naturally a satire of CAI.


    Hello, CAI!


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I know. I''ll go right away."


    Liu Xiu looked at Yi Ji and said, "Mr. Ji Bo, I''m afraid I''ll stay in CAI''s house for a while. Go back first. There are still a lot of things to do with the adjustment of a large number of officials. "


    Yi Ji said: "in that case, I''ll leave first."


    Yi Ji turned and left. None of the accompanying soldiers took away. They all stayed to protect Liu Xiu. However, Liu Xiu ordered the soldiers to leave the hall and wait at the gate. Liu Xiu did not believe that the Cai family dared to touch him.

 Chapter 248

    Liu Xiu said, "let''s go, lead the way ahead."


    The attendant is leading the way. Deng AI pushes Liu Xiu to the back yard.


    After a while, he came to Cai Xi''s yard.


    It''s a little cold this winter. Cai Xi is getting older, and his spirit is much worse. In CAI Xi''s room, burning coals of fire, dispel the cold, to ensure that Cai Xi is not cold.


    Cai satirized with a cloak, but his spirit was still a little depressed.


    He waved to Liu Xiu to take his seat and said slowly, "listen to the people in your family, Mr. Xiu has adjusted the officials of the first department. In addition, he was also denounced as the guard of the prefecture. Mr. Xiu, there is something wrong with De Li, but it is not so. After all, he is Yueying''s uncle and will be your uncle in the future. "


    After a pause, Cai said, "after all, the Cai family is Jingzhou. Liu Xiu''s eyes are serious and said," if it''s just these things, I''m not going to deal with CAI Mao or the Cai family. "


    "Is there anything else?" Cai asked sarcastically


    At this time, Cai''s heart is also a flustered, did not expect that Cai Mao should be so targeted at Liu Xiu. Whatever it is, it should not be. But Cai Mao did it.


    Liu Xiu waved and said, "Xiao AI, I''ll talk to the old man alone."


    "Yes


    Deng AI nodded and walked out of the room.


    Creak!


    When the door closed, only Liu Xiu and Cai Xi were left in the room.


    "What is it?"


    When Cai satirized Liu Xiu''s practice, he knew that the situation was not simple.


    Liu Xiu said: "Cai Mao colluded with general Lu Meng of Jiangdong to frame me."


    "What''s the matter?"


    In CAI''s eyes, a sharp dark color flashed.


    This son of a bitch!


    In CAI''s heart, there was boundless anger.


    Liu Xiu replied: "Lv Meng sneaked into Xiangyang and kept making rumors to alienate the relationship between my father and me. What''s more, he took the initiative to find Cai Mao and told him a plan to frame me, hoping to ruin my reputation. "


    "Cai Mao adopted it, and then found CAI and conspired against me."


    "In the evening, Cai invited me to her room and asked me to drink. The reason why I am allowed to drink is that spring medicine has been put into the wine. Once I drink, I will not be controlled. "


    "Fortunately, I was alert enough not to drink."


    "While I was talking to CAI, Cai Mao arrived with his father."


    Liu Xiu said in a cold voice: "as soon as his father arrived, Cai opened his clothes, showed half of his shoulder, fell to the ground and said that I had invaded her. Fortunately, I didn''t drink, and Tsai also let out too many flaws. "


    "To calm my father down and listen to me. So, I pulled out my knife in my left and right thighs, and I put a knife in each of them. I calmed down the scene, and then I explained it, and it turned the situation around. "


    Liu xiutan opened his hand and said, "old Cai, can I bear what they have done? On that night, if I had any carelessness, I would be ruined. "


    Tsai lowered his head and looked gloomy.


    This bastard!


    And Chua, it''s too bold.


    Tsai was short of breath, but he kept suppressing his anger. He waved his hand and said, "this time, it''s the Tsai family that''s responsible. Young master Xiu, I don''t want to talk about him anymore. He has no way to teach his son. "


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "take care of yourself, old man." Without more, Liu Xiu called Deng AI in and pushed him away.


    After Liu Xiu left, Cai sarcastically said, "come here, please Cai Mao."


    Soon, Cai Mao came to the room.


    When Cai Mao saw Cai''s satire, he sat aside and asked softly, "my son has seen his father. What''s the matter with the father looking for his son? "


    "There are a few things I want to confirm with you," Cai said


    "What''s the matter?"


    In CAI Mao''s heart, he suddenly had a bad feeling. The reason is very simple. Liu Xiu has just been here. Cai Mao is very afraid of everything Liu Xiu does.


    Cai asked sarcastically, "first of all, have you ever sent someone to assassinate Liu Xiu and Yue Ying?"


    "Well..."


    Cai Mao raised his head fiercely and looked at Cai Xi with a look of surprise in his eyes.


    He never disclosed this to anyone. How could Cai Ji know? Is it Liu Xiu? Yes, it can only be Liu Xiu. If it wasn''t for Liu Xiu, the old father would not have known.


    Cai Mao took a deep breath and said, "father, listen to your son."


    "I don''t want to hear the reason, I just want to know the result. You are Yueying''s uncle. Did you send someone to assassinate Liu Xiu and Yueying? "


    Cai''s sarcastic tone was severe, and his eyes were full of disappointment. His son, what he did was out of line.


    "Yes, my son once invited a Ranger to assassinate Liu Xiu in lumen mountain."


    Cai Mao nodded and answered directly.


    Now that Cai Ji has known it, it is meaningless for him to deny it."You, you, you bastard, you are Yueying''s uncle. How can you do such a thing? Liu Xiu is the son of Zhou mu. Even if he is a concubine, he can''t be assassinated. "


    Tsai''s eyes were wide open and his hand pointed to Tsai Mao.

 Chapter 249

    At this moment, Tsai''s breath is short, his mood is even more ups and downs, and his anger is irresistible. He grabbed the pillow on the bed and hit Cai Mao directly. With a slap, the pillow hit Cai Mao''s forehead, and immediately it was skinned and bleeding.


    Cai Mao couldn''t avoid it. He plopped down on his knees and said in a loud voice, "father, don''t be angry or excited, so as not to affect your body. It''s all done by the son. The son is unfilial. The son is wrong. Please don''t be angry. "


    Seeing that Cai''s mood fluctuates too much, he is worried about CAI''s body.


    Cai satirized and stared at Cai Mao, suppressing his anger. He asked again, "I''ll ask you again, did you encourage Liu Xiu to go to Jiangdong to meet him?"


    Cai Mao lowered his head and said, "Liu Xiu went to Jiangdong to meet his bride. It was Lu Su, Jiangdong''s envoy, who proposed it. What does this matter have to do with my son? "


    Cai sneered and said, "I''ll ask you if you fully support Lu Su''s proposal to let Liu Xiu go to meet him."


    "Yes


    Cai Mao nodded and answered again.


    His hatred for Liu Xiu increased. Liu Xiulian told his father about such things. It was clearly intended to block the old man. Don''t you know that the old man is old?


    "Liu Xiu, I won''t let you go. The Cai family and you will never agree."


    Cai Mao knelt on the ground and clenched his fist. He began to think about how to overthrow Liu Xiu.


    Tsai put his hand over his chest, sat up straight, and asked again, "Yuzhang county has won many victories in successive battles. Is it because you ignored the overall situation of Jingzhou and encouraged Liu Biao to transfer Liu Xiu back to Xiangyang?"


    But Cai Mao was unwilling to admit it and said, "father, Liu Biao agreed to transfer Liu Xiu back. What does it have to do with his son?"


    Cai said, "I don''t care what Liu Biao decides. Have you done it?"


    "Yes!"


    Cai Mao knew that he couldn''t argue, so he said truthfully: "Liu Xiu won many battles in Yuzhang County, so many generals in the army tend to Liu Xiu. Now he has a high prestige. In the long run, even if Liu Cong has the status of being a legitimate son, even if he is favored, it will be very difficult for him to compete with Liu Xiu. "


    Cai Mao said: "in order to weaken Liu Xiu''s strength, his son resorted to all means to transfer Liu Xiu back, regardless of the situation in Jingzhou."


    Cai Mao didn''t care about it. He said what he thought.


    Up to now, there is no need to hide.


    Cai satirized a burst of suffocation, said: "good, good, good a CAI Mao ah, you for Liu Cong, for personal desires, even the overall situation of Jingzhou can ignore."


    Cai Mao said: "this is the fight for power."


    Cai is extremely ironic and laughs back. He didn''t expect his son to say such a thing.


    This son of a bitch!


    Cai said ironically, "Liu Xiu once visited your house and wanted to fight with you. But you forced Liu Xiu again and again. Now you are satisfied with the situation. "


    Cai Mao said: "father, it''s not the end yet. It''s hard to judge the final success or failure."


    Cai satirized once again: "I finally asked you if you were colluding with LV Meng to let her seduce Liu Xiu."


    In a word, Cai Mao''s body suddenly froze.


    The news is like a slap on Cai Mao''s face. Cai Mao felt more humiliated in his heart, but his father asked, and he also tore all his face. He kowtowed his head to the ground and answered directly, "yes, my son adopted LV Meng''s plan. After discussing with her second sister, she decided to frame Liu Xiu. It''s just that, in the end, I didn''t expect to be renovated by Liu. "


    "Good, good, good, I have a good son."


    "The Cai family has a son named Cai Mao. He is a glorious Father."


    Cai''s sarcastic words, sentence by sentence, make Cai Mao kneeling on the ground, the heart is more painful.


    "Cough! Cough! Cough


    Cai''s sneering cough made his face more ugly.


    After listening to Liu Xiu''s words, Cai Ji believed that they were true. However, Cai Xi still wants to hear negative words from Cai Mao, because he doesn''t want his son to do something wrong.


    The Cai family is already the number one in Jingzhou, so there is no need to fight any more.


    Unexpectedly, everything is real.


    Cai''s family is ashamed to have done such a thing. A strong feeling of depression spread in CAI''s heart, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable.


    Sorry for the Cai family!


    Sorry for Cai Mao!


    "Why did I give birth to a son like you? When I first met Liu Xiu, I just used an excuse to beat you to make friends with Liu Xiu and ease the relationship. You, you''ve come this far. "


    "You son of a bitch!"


    "The Cai family is ashamed of you..."


    Suddenly, the voice stopped. He widened his eyes, opened his mouth and spewed out a cloud of blood, then fell back on the bed.


    Cai Mao was immediately frightened. He jumped up, went to Cai Xun and said in a loud voice, "father, father, what''s the matter with you? Don''t be angry when your son knows it''s wrong and your son knows it''s wrong. "At this moment, Cai Mao was also extremely anxious.


    After half a sound, Cai satirized.


    However, the look on Cai''s satirical face was already like gold paper, and his eyes were extremely turbid. The whole person, as if lost three soul seven soul, wilt son of lost spirit.


    Cai satirized the thin hand, grasped Cai Mao''s hand, and asked: "De Li, Liu Xiu hates you, and even oppresses the Cai family, but you are Yueying''s uncle after all. If you apologize to Liu Xiu and plead guilty, you will have a chance to save the situation. Liu Xiu also needs the assistance of the Cai family, and Liu Biao also needs the assistance of the Cai family. If you apologize, you will save the situation. "


    Cai Mao held Cai satire, and his face showed an anxious look.


    However, he said nothing and asked him to apologize to Liu Xiu, which was absolutely impossible.


    He wants Liu Xiu to regret it!


    He wants Liu Xiu to kneel down and apologize!


    He wants Liu Xiu to survive, not to die!


    Cai Mao looked at his old father''s haggard appearance, eyes moist, he said: "father, you first calm down, don''t get angry, don''t get excited, have a good rest. Leave things at home to your son, and he''ll take care of them. "


    "No, no, apologize."


    Cai Shao was held by Cai Mao and kept shaking his head.


    He seized Cai Mao''s hand and suddenly had strength. His pale face turned ruddy and his tone smoothed. He said quickly: "my son, Liu Xiu is not simple. Liu Xiu has ambition and resourcefulness, and his hand is even more ring by ring. If you can''t win him, apologize. For yourself and for the sake of the Cai family, you must go to ease the relationship. "


    "Father, son knows what to do," Cai Mao said


    After hearing this, Cai realized that Cai Mao was not willing to go. He was disappointed, and his spirit began to fall. He grasped Cai Mao''s hand, his strength gradually weakened, his eyelids drooped, and he murmured: "son You are wrong... "


    The voice gradually calms down and finally disappears.


    "Pa!"


    He took Cai Mao''s hand and let it go.


    Tsai''s sarcastic neck tilted back, which had already passed away without any breath.


    Cai Mao suddenly hugged Cai''s body, and his eyes showed a look of panic. He stretched out his hand and put it tremblingly between CAI''s nose and breath. He found that there was no breath of CAI''s satire, and immediately cried, "father!"


    The sound of tearing heart and lungs came out of the room.


    Soon, a number of attendants rushed into the room. They were shocked when they saw Cai Mao''s action and the sarcasm of Cai who had been motionless in CAI Mao''s arms.


    Cai is so sarcastic!


    Jingzhou was once a great Confucian, famous, but eventually unwilling to die.


    All over the house, there was a cry.


    Cai Xi is old, and his shroud and coffin are already ready. The family quickly replaced Cai''s body with a shroud, and then put it into the coffin. In the shortest time, the Taoist who did the ritual came to Cai''s house.


    For a moment, the voice of Taoist chanting began to ring through the whole Cai mansion.

 Chapter 250

    When Deng AI got the news of CAI Xi''s death, he immediately told Liu Xiu the news.


    Liu Xiu was also surprised to learn that Cai Xi had passed away. He didn''t expect that Cai Xi would die like this? Liu Xiu asked, "did you say how Cai Xi died?"


    Deng AI replied: "according to the news from the Cai family, it is said that after talking with CAI Mao, Cai died in CAI Mao''s arms. As for whether there has been any conflict, it is not known. "


    Liu Xiu heard the speech and sighed.


    Immediately, Liu Xiu said, "prepare the articles for mourning. Let''s go to the Cai family to mourn."


    Deng AI stayed in the same place and said, "young master, is it suitable for us to go?"


    Liu Xiu said: "Cai Mao has a problem with me. He even wants me to die, but Cai satirizes the elder. Now that he has passed away, I naturally want to express my condolence. Moreover, he is Yueying''s grandfather. He should go to Yueying because of his love and reason. "


    "Yes, I''m going to prepare the relevant items right away."


    Deng AI nodded, turned and left the room.


    Liu Xiu called Huang Yueying. He looked at Huang Yueying and said solemnly, "Yueying, go to see Mr. Chengyan immediately and tell him that old Mr. Cai Xi has passed away. The Huang family and the Cai family are in law. You have to go to mourn with your parents. "


    "Ah, my grandfather died?"


    Huang Yueying''s eyes showed an incredible look.


    Liu Xiu nodded, said: "just got the news, go quickly."


    "Well!"


    Huang Yueying is also very anxious, out of the yard, and then quickly to Huang''s residence in the city.


    Liu Xiu sat in the room, his brows locked.


    Cai Xi''s death came too suddenly, especially when he met Liu Xiu before his death. With CAI Mao''s personality, Liu Xiu must be responsible for this.


    After Cai died, Liu Xiu knew very well that it was impossible to ease the situation between him and Cai Mao and Cai family.


    It''s impossible to defeat Cai Mao completely.


    Next, it can only be a life and death situation.


    After a while, Deng AI came back in a hurry and reported: "childe, the things that need condolence have not been prepared. I asked my servants to prepare to go. Mr. Zhou Mu asked you to go."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "let''s go."


    Obviously, Liu Biao knew this news, only then can summon him.


    Liu Biao is also over the age of an old man. At his age, it''s taboo to go to mourn for the dead because he''s worried that he might be contaminated with ghosts and gods. So Liu Biao can''t go there in person. Calling him now is mostly about CAI Ji''s condolence.


    Deng AI pushed Liu Xiu to Liu Biao''s study.


    After Deng AI left, Liu Xiu asked, "what''s the matter with the father coming to see his son?"


    Liu Biao asked, "did you know that Cai Xi died?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "my son already knows."


    Liu Biao sighed and said, "I think at the beginning, when my father first came to Jingzhou, Cai satirized me with high spirits. Now in a twinkling of an eye, it''s really a pity that he should take the first step. "


    Liu Xiu said, "my father will live a long life."


    Liu Biao shook his head and said, "it''s impossible to live a long life. It''s rare for people to live to the age of 80 or 90. If you can live another three or five years for your father and support him for a few more years, maybe Jingzhou will be peaceful for a few more years. "


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he was surprised. He didn''t expect Liu Biao to be so accurate.


    In fact, although Liu Biao was a dog guarding his family in Jingzhou, Liu Bei didn''t dare to act rashly when Liu Biao was in town. Even Cao Cao had to consider Liu Biao''s prestige.


    When Liu Biao died of illness, the situation was different.


    In history, after Liu Biao died, Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou. To some extent, Liu Biao''s ability to lead soldiers to fight is not strong, and there are many defects in his character, but for Jingzhou, he is a god of the sea.


    Liu Xiu said: "my father is worried too much. Let alone three or five years, even ten or twenty years, there is no problem."


    Liu Biao shook his head and said, "father''s body, Father knows." After a pause, Liu Biao said, "let''s get down to business. This time, Cai died of illness. On behalf of Jingzhou, you go to Cai''s house to express your condolence."


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu nodded and asked, "father, have you informed your mother?"


    Liu Biao said, "when she knows the news, she has already gone back to Cai''s home."


    Liu xiudao said: "in that case, my son will go to prepare and immediately go to the CAI house to express his condolence."


    Liu Biao waved his hand, Liu Xiu called Deng AI, let Deng AI push the wooden wheel car to leave Liu Biao''s yard. Back in the backyard, the servants had prepared black clothes and items related to condolence.


    Liu Xiu put on black clothes, pushed out of the house by Deng AI, and went to Cai Fu.


    There was a cry in CAI''s house.


    Although the Cai family suffered an unprecedented blow, and Cai Mao was demoted as the gatekeeper of the prefecture, there were still many people to mourn.


    Cai Mao and the Cai family have arrived. Huang Chengyan, the son-in-law of the Cai family, has also arrived.Although Cai Mao had a problem with the Huang family, he endured his anger when it came to his father''s funeral. He just knelt in front of the coffin and burned paper money for his father.


    Jingzhou officials and famous hostels came to express their condolence one after another.


    People who come and go salute with incense, Cai Mao salutes one by one, and then kneels down on the ground honestly.


    "Master Xiu of the prefecture is here!"


    Suddenly, the voice of the Chamberlain came.


    After hearing the cry, Cai Shi, Cai Mao and the people of CAI''s family all stopped crying. Qi Shushu raised his head and looked out of the hall. Deng AI pushed Liu Xiu into the hall.


    After Liu Xiu entered, he was still sitting in the wooden wheel car with a sad expression and choked: "Mr. Cai, I just listened to your instruction. How did you leave?"


    On the way here, the attendant had already told Liu Xiu the etiquette of condolence. He must be sincere. The best result is to cry out, that is really emotional.


    Liu Xiu did as he said. All the etiquette was in order and there was no mistake.


    After a long time, it was fragrant.


    Liu Xiu went to Cai Mao and comforted him: "Mr. de Li, take good care of your health and be patient."


    Listening to Liu Xiu''s words of consolation, Cai Mao gnashed his teeth with hatred. He was so angry that he said in a deep voice, "if it wasn''t for you, how could my father have died of illness. Liu Xiu, the Cai family doesn''t need your hypocritical condolence. The Cai family doesn''t welcome you. "


    A word, hate gnash teeth.


    The eyes of the people of the Cai family looking at Liu Xiu were also full of anger.


    Liu Xiu''s expression returned to calm, and said faintly: "I''m full of sadness and regret for old Cai''s death. But Mr. de Li didn''t reflect on what he had done. If it wasn''t for you, Mr. Cai wouldn''t be like this. I hate iron but not steel. "


    In a word, it stimulated Cai Mao. Cai Mao even wanted to order his family to send Liu Xiu away, but thinking of today''s occasion, he finally suppressed his anger and said, "you go. Today, I won''t argue with you."


    Don''t want to see Liu Xiu, Cai Mao directly under the guest order.


    Liu Xiu took a look at Huang Chengyan and Huang Yueying and gave them a comforting look. He did not stay any longer and left the Cai family.


    For the next few days, the Cai family was immersed in grief.


    The whole focus of the Cai family is to deal with CAI''s funeral. After the funeral, Huang Chengyan took Huang Yueying and his wife back to lumen mountain, and Cai also went back to zhoumu Prefecture. Everything was calm again.

 Chapter 251

    On this day, Cai Mao went to the gate of zhoumu prefecture to stand guard.


    As soon as he appeared at the gate of the prefecture, countless people came to see him. Even those standing with him kept asking why Cai Mao was denounced? Countless pairs of searching eyes, as well as curious eyes, make Cai Mao heart shame.


    Endless humiliation breeds in CAI Mao''s heart.


    Cai Mao even resented Liu Xiu and Liu Biao. He wanted revenge. One day after the end of the guard, Cai Mao was uncomfortable all over, dragging his tired body and wounded heart, and returned to Cai Fu.


    At this time, the family of CAI was a sparrow.


    The officials of CAI Mao''s department were elevated and transferred.


    Cai Mao also joined the army and became a guard. For a moment, Cai''s family, which used to be very busy, became cold and quiet. Especially after Cai died, the Cai family was greatly affected, as if filled with a dull atmosphere, which made Cai Mao angry.


    "No, I must take revenge."


    Cai Mao clenched his fist. He said, "come on."


    At the command, the housekeeper came in.


    Cai Mao said, "go to the prefecture immediately, and ask the second elder sister to go back to the prefecture. I have something to discuss with her."


    "No!"


    The housekeeper nodded, turned and left.


    Two quarters of an hour later, Cai went back to his house and came to the backyard.


    In the study, Cai Shi saw Cai Mao and asked, "De Li, you sent someone to call me back in a hurry. What''s the matter? You know, I''ve just repaired my relationship with Liu Biao, and I''m very sensitive. "


    Cai Mao said, "second sister, do you want Liu Xiu to die?"


    Referring to Liu Xiu, Cai gnashed his teeth and said coldly: "because of him, Liu Biao is still good to me, but it''s different from before. Because of him, my father died, too. I want Liu Xiu to die, and I want him skinned and cramped. This boy is a disaster. He''s here to harm our Cai family. "


    Cai Mao clenched his fist and said: "according to the current situation, the Cai family has been completely suppressed, especially the Kuai family, the Huang family and the Pang family unite to boycott the Cai family. As a result, the Cai family is declining day by day. If it goes on like this, the Cai family will surely decline. Without the Cai family, Liu Cong could not inherit Jingzhou, and Liu Qi was not Liu Xiu''s rival. In the end, Liu Xiu must inherit Jingzhou. You and I have no place to live. Second sister, would you like that? "


    Cai Shi didn''t even want to think about it. He said directly, "naturally, I don''t want to. Let''s talk about it. How can I do it?"


    Cai Mao said, "even if you have to deal with Liu Biao, do you agree?"


    Cai Shi snorted and said, "that old man is Liu Xiu. He thinks Liu Xiu is both filial and capable. And he''s always on my guard. Well, it''s nothing to deal with him. I can live well without him. Without him, we''ll support Liu Cong to get on top, and life will be more comfortable. "


    Cai Mao gave a thumbs up and said, "well, it''s my sister."


    Cai said: "say, how to do?"


    Cai Mao''s eyes showed a cold look. He said slowly, "go straight to fight Liu Biao and Liu Xiu, kill them, and then support Liu Cong."


    At this point, Cai Mao was no longer willing to wait.


    The more he waited, in the end, it was the Cai family that suffered.


    Once the power of the Cai family was completely disintegrated, Cai Mao just wanted to deal with Liu Biao and Liu Xiu, and he had no power. Now that the Cai family still has enough strength, they start to control the situation, and then deal with the people who humiliated him one by one.


    At present, Cai Mao said a detailed plan.


    After hearing this, Cai thought for a moment, and then said, "if we want to carry out this plan, we must obtain Liu Cong''s consent. However, Liu Cong is very ambitious and impatient. It should be no big problem to persuade him to do it. "


    Today''s Liu Cong is very uncomfortable.


    No one is interested in it, and it is almost forgotten.


    Once upon a time, wherever Liu Cong went, it was the focus. There''s flattery everywhere, there''s flattery everywhere. Now, Liu Cong has been thoroughly suppressed and faded out of everyone''s sight.


    Such a situation made Liu Cong live a very difficult life.


    Hearing the speech, Cai Mao had a bright smile on his face and said with a smile, "in this case, my sister will go back to the prefecture to persuade Liu Cong, and then prepare to do it. Whether Liu Cong agrees or not, he must do it. If Liu Cong doesn''t agree, control him. "


    Cai nodded, then turned and left.


    After returning to the prefecture, Cai went straight to Liu Cong, explained his intention and said, "Cong''er, if you don''t fight back, Jingzhou is Liu Xiu''s. The last time his father died, it was Liu Xiu who went to mourn on behalf of the prefecture. This is already a signal. If you are willing to remain unknown, your mother will turn around and leave. If you are not willing to fail, then fight for it. "


    "OK, I''ll do it."


    Liu Cong nodded, a cold look flashed in his eyes.


    Liu Cong hated Liu Xiu. If there is no Liu Xiu, he is the most beautiful person; if there is no Liu Xiu, he is also the one who is loved by Liu Biao; if there is no Liu Xiu, he is also the one who officials flatter.However, all this was deprived by Liu Xiu.


    Liu Cong looked solemnly and asked, "next, what shall we do?"


    Cai replied: "first, take your father and let him order Liu Xiu to be arrested. After Liu Xiu is settled, let your father call all the civil and military generals and appoint you to inherit Jingzhou. Then, you will take charge of Jingzhou''s political affairs in advance on the ground that Liu Biao is old. In this way, you are the master of Jingzhou. "


    Liu Cong clenched his fist, his eyes showed a touch of excitement, asked: "when to start?"


    Cai said: "according to the plan, your uncle will dispatch the private soldiers of Cai family to take down the square gate of Xiangyang this evening. In your uncle''s colleagues, we''ll go to your father. If your father doesn''t agree to seize Liu Xiu, then coerce your father to force Liu Xiu to submit. As long as Xiangyang is in the hands of the Cai family and your father is in your hands, wenpin dare not act rashly. "


    "Good!"


    Liu Cong nodded and agreed.


    As time went by, Xiangyang City became quiet at night.


    Zhou Mu Fu, Liu Cong and Cai Shi went to see Liu Biao. After the Chamberlain passed, they soon met Liu Biao in the study. Liu Biao seldom saw Cai Shi and Liu Cong together and asked, "what''s the matter with you when you come to see me?"


    Cai looked at Liu Cong and motioned him to open his mouth.


    Liu Cong said: "father, when my son comes here tonight, there is one thing that needs his father''s order."


    "What''s the matter?" Liu Biao asked.


    At this time, Liu Biao looked at Liu Cong with strange eyes. Liu Cong is very fluent and magnanimous in his daily speech. He looks like a good young man.


    Today''s state, however, gives people a strange feeling.


    A cold light flashed in Liu Cong''s eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "father, the third younger brother is disrupting Jingzhou, and he colludes with Cao Cao to bring disaster to Jingzhou. Ask my father to give the order and take the third brother. "


    "In collusion with Cao Cao?"


    Liu Biao didn''t even think about it and directly denied the possibility.


    If Liu Xiu really colluded with Cao Cao, when he and Pang Degong went to Xu county to celebrate the emperor''s birthday, he would not be unscrupulous against Cao Cao.


    Liu Biao said, "Cong''er, who told you that Xiuer colluded with Cao Cao?"


    As soon as Liu Cong gritted his teeth, he continued: "my son said that his third brother colluded with Cao Cao, so he colluded with Cao Cao. Father, do you give orders now? "


    When Liu Biao heard the speech, he understood it immediately.


    This kid, are you crazy?


    Liu Biao''s big sleeve flicked, his eyes showed a cold look, and he said in a deep voice: "Liu Cong, you dare to talk to me like this, you are presumptuous!"


    "You''re being presumptuous!"


    Cai''s anger surged up and he went to Liu Biao''s body and slapped his face down. The slap in the face was loud, and the silk showed no mercy. This time, Liu Biao was confused.


    Liu Biao stares at Cai Shi, scolds a way: "cheap woman, you dare to hit me."


    Cai Shi had already gone out. She looked scornfully and said, "what''s wrong with beating you? When his father died, you sent Liu Xiu to mourn. Don''t you know that Liu Xiu has something to do with his father''s death? If you want to humiliate the Cai family, you don''t have to


    Liu Biao said in a cold voice, "come on


    He called, but there was no response from outside.

 Chapter 252

    Cai said: "Liu Biao, up to now, don''t you know the situation? The people in your yard are under control. Do you think you can still call people? Even if you break your throat, it''s no use


    It is the so-called old husband and young wife that Cai married Liu Biao at a young age, but she was not willing to do so at all. In addition to the failure of the previous sex seduction, she hated Liu Biao very much.


    In particular, Cai''s death made Cai feel resentful.


    A series of things add up, resulting in a deep hatred of Liu Biao. At this moment, all the resentment, greed, anger and infatuation, like a volcano, can no longer be suppressed, burst out.


    Liu Biao touched his painful cheek. He looked at CAI and then at Liu Cong, and said with disdain, "it''s just you two. Even if you control me, it''s useless. Xiuer will find out sooner or later, and you can''t even command the army. In the end, you will be defeated. "


    Liu Cong said, "father, have you forgotten commander Cai?"


    Referring to Cai Mao, Liu Biao''s eyes were cold and said, "how, Cai Mao wants to rebel?"


    Liu Cong said, "it''s not a rebellion, it''s a clean-up."


    Liu Biao laughed and said, "I finally feel that Xiuer has done a good job. He suggested that I remove Cai Mao from his official post and a series of officials who have relations with CAI Mao. Today, Cai Mao''s foundation and strength in the army and officialdom have been removed. Can Cai Mao turn the situation around with his own strength? "


    A trace of happiness, in the heart of Liu Biao breeding out.


    Cai sneered: "Liu Biao, up to now, you still can''t see the situation clearly. Do you think that the Cai family, known as the first family in Jingzhou, is just a force in the officialdom and army? The private soldiers of the Cai family are enough to overturn Xiangyang City. "


    "Now, De Li has sent people to the gate of Sifang city to seize control."


    "As long as he takes the four square gate, he will lead his army to the prefecture. At that time, who dares to resist? As for Liu Xiu, it''s too easy to deal with him with you. "


    At last, Cai looked at Liu Cong and said, "Cong''er, your father is not willing to cooperate. Then, we have to start with Liu Xiu. Send someone to call Liu Xiu and order him to obey. Next, you will be the person in charge of Jingzhou, and you will be the herdsman of a state. You need to be aggressive and courageous. "


    "Yes


    Liu Cong nodded and immediately said, "come on, go to inform Liu Xiu and let him come to his father''s room."


    "No!"


    Outside the room, there was a response.


    Liu Biao''s eyes were cold, and he scolded: "Liu Cong, you evil animal. You collude with the Cai family and do something to your family. " Boundless anger, in the heart of Liu Biao breeding out.


    He didn''t expect that Liu Cong would dare to murder him and even attack Liu Xiu. It''s unforgivable.


    But Liu Biao didn''t expect that his men were bribed.


    It was premeditated!


    This is premeditated!


    The more Liu Biao thought about it, the more angry he was.


    At this moment, Liu Biao expected that Liu Xiu would not come to the study. Because Liu Xiu does not appear, Cai Mao and Cai Shi will be afraid. Unfortunately, Liu Xiu stayed in the prefecture at night.


    The attendants came to Liu Xiu''s yard and reported: "Mr. Xiu, please welcome Mr. Zhou mu."


    "Good! I''ll be right there


    Liu Xiu returned, put on his clothes, and Deng AI pushed the wooden wheel car to Liu Biao''s yard.


    Just entering the yard, the attendant said, "the master Zhou Mu is in the study."


    Liu Xiu nodded, and Deng AI pushed Liu Xiu to the study. Come to the door of the study, Liu Xiu just want to knock on the door, but see the door opened. In the room, Cai Shi and Liu Cong sit not far from Liu Biao. Beside Liu Biao, there is a warrior in black, holding a long sword around Liu Biao''s neck.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu''s face changed.


    Liu Biao sighed, shook his head and said, "Xiuer, Liu Cong, a villain, has colluded with the Cai family. You shouldn''t have come here. You can''t get out now


    In the courtyard, suddenly appeared one by one black clothes person, all bright sword scabbard, blocked the way.


    Liu Xiu regained his calm and said, "father, I''ve come."


    With a wave of his hand, Deng AI pushes Liu Xiu into the room. Liu Xiu''s wooden wheel car stopped in the room. He looked at Liu Cong with sharp eyes and said, "second brother, you are so bold that you collude with outsiders to murder your father."


    Liu Cong snorted and said, "it''s all forced by you. If it wasn''t for you, I wouldn''t have come this far. It''s all because of you. "


    With a triumphant look, Cai chided: "Liu Xiu, let your bookboy hand over your sword immediately. Otherwise, don''t blame me for being rude to the old man. "


    Liu Biao''s sword, which was put on his neck by a warrior in black, was close to his neck.


    Liu Xiu''er said, "don''t agree. If you lose your sabre, you will be controlled, and it''s all over. "


    "Shut up


    Cai yelled at Liu Biao and said, "Liu Xiu, there are warriors outside the yard. They are all my people. Even if you don''t let the bookboy hand over his sword, you can die. "Liu Xiu laughed and said, "although Deng AI has learned two moves of swordsmanship, it''s not surprising that he is good at martial arts. But if you want him to hand over his sword, I have only one condition. "


    "What are the conditions?" Cai asked


    Liu Xiu replied: "let the samurai in black withdraw his sword. My father is old and sick. Because of his physical condition, it is impossible to escape from the samurai in black. There is no need to put the sword on my father''s neck. In case of accidental injury, it''s not good. "


    Cai sneered: "ha ha, what a filial son."


    Liu Xiu said, "is it filial son, not has the final say? I just think, you''re damned. "


    Cai said, "it''s you who are going to die. But don''t worry. I won''t kill you. I want you to live or die. I want you to regret that you are against the Cai family. "


    As he spoke, Cai''s eyes sparkled with cold light.


    At this time, the samurai in black withdrew his sword.


    With a smile in his mouth, Liu Xiu said, "Xiao AI, throw the sword."


    "Yes


    Deng AI ordered, took off his sword and threw it on the ground.


    Liu Xiu looked at Liu Cong, spread out his hand and said slowly, "second brother, what are you going to do with me now?"


    Liu Cong said: "I want you..."


    "Pa!"


    A crisp sound, suddenly, a streamer flashed in the room.


    Poof!


    The Black Warrior''s chest was pierced by a crossbow.


    Before he had time to deal with it, he lost his look in his eyes and fell to the ground without any breath. Then, with a low drink, Liu Xiu got up from the wooden wheel car and rushed to Liu Cong.


    Liu Xiu rushed to Liu Cong''s side, split his palm, slapped it on the back of Liu Cong''s head, and knocked Liu Cong unconscious. Deng AI also started at the same time, easily subdued Cai, and the situation turned around.


    Liu Xiu came to Liu Xiu and said, "father, you have suffered."


    Liu Biao looked at Liu Xiu, shocked. Immediately, his face showed a happy smile, but see Liu Xiu standing, even busy way: "Xiuer, how''s your leg?"


    Liu Xiu replied: "my son''s leg is not seriously affected, but the doctor said it''s better to sit, so my son didn''t remove the wooden wheel cart. But in this case, it doesn''t matter to bear it. "


    Liu Biao nodded and said, "that''s good!"


    Liu Xiu said, "father, what should we do with CAI?"


    CAI was held by Deng AI. He looked at the man in black outside the door and said in a loud voice: "Liu Xiu, there are all my people outside. You can''t escape, even if you arrest me now. You can''t escape when Deyu leads his troops back to the prefecture


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "I''ll wait and see."


    Liu Biao asked, "Xiu''er, Cai Mao has taken Cai''s private soldiers to the four corners gate of Xiangyang. In this case, we must fight back immediately. "


    Liu Xiu looked confident and said, "father, if Cai Mao took his soldiers to Sifang gate in the past, I''m afraid he would succeed. But now, wenpin took over the gate of Sifang City, and Cai Mao took private soldiers to attack. He could only beat the stone with his eggs. My father doesn''t know about general wenpin''s military ability? "


    "Ha ha ha, that''s true."


    Liu Biao''s face, with a bright smile.


    Liu Xiu returns to the wooden wheel car. Soon, Liu Cong wakes up, but he has been tied up.

 Chapter 253

    Liu Biao stares at Liu Cong and scolds: "evil animal, what else do you have to say now?"


    Liu Cong kowtowed to the ground with his head and said, "father, my son is wrong. My son knows that he is wrong. Father, please forgive me. It was Cai''s humble wife who seduced her son, and his son made a mistake. It''s all her. It''s all her fault. "


    Cai''s heart was cold with a sad smile.


    In order to let Liu Cong inherit Jingzhou, she paid so much. Now, Liu Cong is just like this. At this time, Cai Shi really saw Liu Cong''s ugly face.


    Cai knew that she had no way out, and the Cai family had no way out this time.


    Everything depends on Cai Mao.


    If Cai Mao fails, the Cai family will fall.


    As soon as Cai''s eyes turned, he had an idea in his heart and said with a sneer, "Liu Cong, what did you say when you came to my room and rolled on the bed with me regardless of etiquette, justice and shame? You said you would make me rich and prosperous all my life. Now, you are so cold and thin. You are not as good as a beast. "


    "Ah


    Liu Cong exclaimed in amazement and was stunned.


    Liu Biao''s eyes also showed anger. He was completely furious.


    "Liu Cong, you evil animal, evil animal."


    Liu Biao was disappointed with Liu Cong, and immediately became furious at Cai''s words.


    It turned out that it was Liu Cong who really had an affair with CAI.


    Liu Biao couldn''t help it any more, and his anger burst out. He was slapped in the face by CAI and insulted by Liu Cong later. Now hearing Cai''s words, he completely lost his mind. He grabbed the sword that the warrior in black had fallen on the ground, drew it out of its sheath with a clang sound, and stabbed it out.


    "Poof


    The sharp point of the Sword Pierced Liu Cong''s chest.


    A sword through the heart, Liu Cong''s eyes show the look of pain.


    He looked at Liu Biao with a face of discontent and pain, and murmured: "father, son doesn''t, son really doesn''t have a relationship with CAI..."


    "Poof!"


    The sword is drawn out and blood donation splashes.


    As soon as Liu Cong''s body tilted, he fell to the ground without any breath.


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Chua''s crazy laugh, loud voice: "kill well, kill well."


    Liu Biao stares at Cai Shi and says, "cheap woman, you cheap woman, you should die."


    Cai''s Jie sneered twice and said, "I should die, indeed. It''s just that you killed your son yourself, and you should die. You know what? In fact, he didn''t do anything to me, and he was more respectful to me. I lied to you just now. Old man, you killed your son yourself. Now, how do you feel? "


    "Boom!"


    A sound like thunder shocked Liu Biao to step back.


    Bang Dang!


    Long sword fell to the ground, Liu Biao sat on the ground, holding Liu Cong''s body and wailing. At this moment, Liu Biao was confused, and the whole person was on the verge of collapse.


    He killed his own son, but also framed his own son.


    A strong sense of regret, born in Liu Biao''s heart.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu sighed in his heart. Liu Cong died, did not expect to die in the hands of Liu Biao, will be such an outcome. Although Liu Xiu disliked Liu Cong, now he can only sigh.


    "My son, my son, it''s all my father who hurt you!"


    Liu Biao yelled, but Liu Cong fell to the ground, and there was no breath left.


    "Wow Poof... "


    Liu Biao was so impatient that he vomited out his blood. His whole spirit seemed to pour out and his spirit was dispirited.


    "Bitch, I want you to die, I want you to die."


    Liu Biao stood up with patience. He grabbed the sword and stabbed CAI.


    "Poof


    The sharp point of the Sword Pierced Cai''s chest.


    Under Liu Biao''s madness, a sword broke Cai''s chest and made Cai scream with pain.


    Cai''s face was ferocious, and he roared: "Liu Biao, you old beast, you killed your own woman and your own son. You have to die. Come on, kill me. Kill Liu Biao. "


    With an order, the warriors in black outside approached the study one after another.


    When Liu Biao drew out his sword, Cai fell to the ground without any breath. He threw away his bloody sword and stared at Cai Shi, who fell on the ground. He kicked his feet again, but he still couldn''t get rid of his anger. He roared: "I killed all the people who should be killed."


    His eyes were angry and his mouth was coughing up blood.


    At this time, Liu Biao''s mood fluctuated greatly, and he was close to madness.


    Liu Xiu looked at the approaching Samurai in black, calm and calm, and said in a deep voice: "the Cai family is dead, the second brother is dead, and the Cai family is about to be destroyed. Now? Are you going to be buried with me? Lay down your arms and surrender. I''ll spare you from death. "


    The approaching Samurai in black stopped after listening.


    "Newspaper!"All of a sudden, a servant of his family rushed in and roared, "no, Cai Mao has broken in with people."


    The attendant was flustered and looked frightened.


    Just stopped a group of warriors in black heard the news, the expression on their faces changed at that time. Looking at Liu Xiu one by one, he was no longer the docile fear he had been before, but also became murderous.


    A long sword aimed at Liu Xiu.


    CAI was killed and they lost their backbone.


    Now Cai Mao rushed in with people and entered the prefecture, and the situation changed again.


    "Step on it! Step on


    A sound of footwork came in from outside the yard.


    A team of people, fast approaching. Cai Mao was the first one. At this time, Cai Mao was bathed in blood all over his body. There were blood stains all over his body, and his face looked worried.


    Liu Xiu saw Cai Mao and said, "Xiao AI, protect your father."


    "Yes


    Deng AI stood beside Liu Biao and helped him.


    However, Liu Biao directly broke away from Deng AI''s support and coldly watched Cai Mao approaching step by step. Liu Xiu also got up from the wooden wheel car, quickly picked up the sword, and concentrated on coping.


    Cai Mao suddenly appeared. I don''t know what happened to Sifang gate?


    Cai Mao''s dignified look didn''t seem to win.


    Unless it''s back!


    In Liu Xiu''s heart, there was a guess.


    At this time, a samurai in black came forward and reported the situation in the backyard. When Cai Mao looked at Liu Xiu and Liu Biao, he was even more murderous. He roared: "old thief Liu Biao, you kill my sister, you should die."


    At this point, Liu Cong has been killed, and Cai Mao''s plan has been completely disrupted.


    All, can only spell one.


    Liu Biao stood up, his eyes were even colder, and he said in a murderous way: "the cunt of CAI should die. She dared to plot a rebellion and incite Cong''er to revolt. She should die. It''s she who killed Cong''er. It''s your Cai family who killed Cong''er. You people of the Cai family should die. "


    Cai Mao said: "damn the Cai family, ha, what a satire! If you didn''t have the help of the Cai family, would you have been able to sit in Jingzhou and enjoy the present splendor? Without the Cai family, Liu Biao would have died long ago. "


    Liu Biao said in a deep voice: "when I took charge of Jingzhou, did the Cai family get less benefits? Although I''m old, I don''t know anything. What you Cai Mao did is not unknown. "


    Liu Xiu suddenly cut in and said, "Cai Mao, you lead the troops to control the gate of Sifang City, and you are defeated by wenpin. Now, there are only so many soldiers left around you. Do you think it''s possible to turn the tables again? "


    Liu Xiu stares at Cai Mao and is sure of his guess.


    The reason is very simple. After Cai Mao came in, he didn''t have a high attitude or any joy of winning.


    Obviously, Cai Mao must have failed.


    Cai Mao sneered: "what if you fail? Even if you fail, it''s easy to kill you now. Liu Xiu, you will die today. "


    Liu Xiu raised a touch of disdain at the corner of his mouth and said: "you have failed. Now you want to kill me, I''m afraid it''s a delusion. If you kill me or your father, once wenpin leads the soldiers to the prefecture, will you live? "


    In a word, Cai Mao''s face changed greatly.


    Liu Xiu hit the nail on the head and pointed out Cai Mao''s biggest weakness.


    When Cai Mao was defeated and surrounded the prefecture, he could only capture Liu Biao or Liu Xiu alive in order to reverse the opportunity. Once Liu Biao was killed, the situation became complicated immediately.


    Liu Xiu saw the change of CAI Mao''s look, and his heart was steadfast.


    This is a war. Cai Mao will be defeated.

 Chapter 254

    Cai Mao looked at Liu Xiu coldly and said, "Liu Xiu, even if Wen pin and his soldiers come to the prefecture, it will not help. You forget that you are surrounded by my soldiers. Besides, there''s nothing wrong with killing you. Kill you, I will catch Liu Biao again. What can wenpin do with me? Now, do you understand? "


    Liu Xiu did not give up. He said coldly, "if you want to kill me, you have to have the ability. I''m afraid you can''t do it." Hearing that Cai Mao didn''t kill Liu Biao, Liu Xiu was even more calm.


    "Come on, kill me, kill Liu Xiu."


    Cai Mao roared and gave the order directly.


    "Kill


    The warrior in black listened to Cai Mao''s order and rushed to Liu Xiu with his sword.


    Cai Mao''s eyes fell on Liu Biao and said in a loud voice, "Liu Biao, old thief, it''s your turn now. As long as I capture you, I can use you to order wenpin. This time, I''ll tear your Liu family apart. Kill Liu Xiu first, then Liu Qi, then Jingzhou, and then you. Ha ha ha... "


    At the moment, Cai Mao has gone crazy.


    Think of your father!


    Think of your sister!


    In his heart, he couldn''t contain his anger and wanted to kill.


    "I have a lot of rewards for capturing Liu Biao alive."


    Cai Mao immediately gave an order, and his private soldiers rushed up quickly. Private soldiers rush up to Liu Biao. Deng AI stood in front of Liu Biao''s body, with calm eyes and calm heart, without a trace of fear.


    Although Deng AI was young, he had been on the battlefield after all. He was also taught by Deng Zhan and had excellent swordsmanship. If private soldiers want to capture Liu Biao alive, they will have constraints. In addition, Deng AI''s guard is so tight that private soldiers can''t get close to him.


    Liu Xiu was besieged by the samurai in black. His long sword was like a dragon in the air. As the light of swords passed by, they heard shouts.


    "Whew!"


    A sword light passed the throat of a warrior in black.


    "Poof!"


    The blood spattered, and the warrior in black froze. As soon as he was soft, he fell to the ground.


    "Liu Xiu to die."


    The cold and fierce drink sounded on Liu Xiu''s back.


    A samurai in black slashed with his sword. The sharp blade fell down and went straight to Liu Xiu''s back.


    "Liu Xiu, take your life."


    At the same time, in front of Liu Xiu, another warrior in black rushed to Liu Xiu with a sword. The tip of the sword was aimed at Liu Xiu''s heart, and he wanted to put a sword through his heart.


    At the same time, Liu Xiu''s safety was threatened.


    The sword in Liu Xiu''s hand swung in the air, and the edge of the sword collided with the sword that stabbed at his chest, and he pulled away the sword. The long sword turned in the air, and it was su Qin''s back sword, which just blocked the split sword.


    "Kill


    Liu Xiu drinks low. His sword moves change again. He turns around. Su Qin''s sword moves slash down.


    "Ho


    The blade of the sword passed, and the Black Warrior''s chest was cut.


    However, Liu Xiu kept on moving. As soon as he turned around, he handed out the sword and stabbed a warrior in black in the chest. With a sword in hand, Liu Xiu was just like walking around a tree and wearing flowers, shuttling through the samurai in black.


    With the flashing light of the sword, the warriors in black died under the sword.


    Most of the warriors in black were killed and injured in one cup of tea. There were only four left. Among the remaining four, two were injured by the sword and weakened. The four of them stood together, facing Liu Xiu''s approaching step by step, not only did they not take the initiative to meet him, but they stepped back. They looked afraid in their eyes and were afraid of being killed.


    Seeing this, Cai Mao roared: "what are you still dallying with? Go on! I''m rewarded for killing Liu Xiu. "


    Cai Mao knew that Liu Xiu''s sword skill was superb. He didn''t expect that more than a dozen warriors in black would rush up and die in a twinkling of an eye, leaving only four people. This sword skill is really extraordinary.


    As soon as the four warriors in black gritted their teeth and roared, they rushed up.


    "Kick! Kick


    Liu Xiu is also to meet up, his steps are not a bit messy, constantly changing position. It''s like stepping on the eight trigrams of yin and Yang, or stepping on the nine palaces. It''s fast and the shadow is floating, so it''s hard to catch his trace.


    "A sword, stars."


    Liu Xiu drank low, his sword shaking.


    In a flash, the sharp sword light formed a little bit of light, dense, like the stars in the night sky, dazzling, it is difficult to detect where the real sword edge is.


    The four knights in black facing each other changed greatly.


    As soon as they rushed in front of Liu Xiu, they felt a burst of pain. Four people''s throats, all appeared a bloodstain, and then the wound cracked, the blood directly flowed out.


    In the twinkling of an eye, these four people''s eyes look gloomy, neck a crooked then fell to the ground.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes turned and fell on Deng AI.


    Deng AI''s body, has been stained with a little blood, chest, shoulders and arms, there are scars.


    In the face of the siege of a group of soldiers, Deng AI''s defense was tight at the beginning, but after a long time, he began to run out of money. Fortunately, the other party didn''t dare to kill Liu Biao, otherwise Deng AI would have been unable to hold on."Catch the king first."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Cai Mao.


    "Cai Mao, take your life."


    As soon as Liu Xiu turned his sword, he rushed to Cai Mao. This move, Cai Mao''s side of private soldiers immediately rushed up, block in front of CAI Mao''s body, block Liu Xiu forward.


    Cai Mao said coldly, "Liu Xiu, it''s impossible to kill me. Rush up and kill Liu Xiu. " Cai Mao''s private soldiers, like a wave, kept rushing forward.


    Suddenly, Liu Xiu was surrounded.


    Liu xiujianfeng swam away and constantly killed the private soldiers who rushed up one by one.


    However, there are too many people.


    Facing the dense siege, Liu Xiu was unable to break through and rush to Cai Mao. Since he could not win Cai Mao first, Liu Xiu immediately changed his strategy and joined Deng AI.


    Under Liu Xiu''s strong attack, he soon came to Deng AI and joined him.


    "Hoo! Hoo


    Deng AI gasped heavily and slowly said, "young master, there are too many people and not enough physical strength." After all, Deng AI is not old enough to have a long breath.


    Up to now, there has been a lack of physical strength.


    Liu Xiu killed the private soldiers rushing up, and said, "Xiao AI, step back behind me. I''ll resist the enemy rushing up. Protect your father."


    "Yes


    Deng AI didn''t try to be brave, so he took a step back to protect Liu Biao.


    At this time, Liu Biao looked into Liu Xiu''s eyes with a touch of emotion. If it was Liu Xiu alone, according to Liu Xiu''s martial arts, he could kill first. But now, Liu Xiu stayed to protect his safety.


    "Xiuer, Cai Mao dare not kill me. You go first and take Deng AI to break through."


    Liu Biao Gang died of a son. He was worried that Liu Xiu would also be killed. He didn''t want Liu Xiu to be here.


    It''s a great misfortune to lose one''s son.


    Liu Cong''s son, in particular, died in his own hands, and Liu Biao''s heart was full of remorse.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "my father is at ease that we just need to insist and delay, and we will win. Soon, wenpin will bring troops to the rescue. Cai Mao is a grasshopper after autumn. She won''t be able to hop for long


    "Hum!"


    A long sword stabbed, Liu Xiu a distraction, a sword in the shoulder.


    Liu Xiu snorted and gritted his teeth


    Bear the pain, Liu Xiu a horizontal cut, sword light in the air flash, across the private soldier''s neck. In a flash, the blood splashed like a spring, and the private soldier fell to the ground with a scream.


    There are a lot of private soldiers coming up.


    Liu Xiu stood in front of him and kept fighting. His sword even had a gap. There was also a slight pain in his legs.


    After all, the injury has not fully recovered.


    But now, Liu Xiu can''t retreat or fall. He has to protect Liu Biao and Deng AI. As the fighting continued, a corpse piled up in front of Liu Xiu''s body, and the red blood flowed continuously, infecting the ground with blood red.


    A quarter of an hour later, Liu Xiu''s breathing was even more rapid.


    The living room was narrow, so it was extremely difficult for Liu Xiu to block the attack from private soldiers.


    Two quarters of an hour later, Liu Xiu holding the sword''s hand, a faint shiver, legs are like pouring lead, action is not convenient.


    Up to now, Liu Xiu has been bathed in blood, as if he were a demon. The CAI private soldiers he killed were already numerous, only a corpse on the ground.


    Cai Mao gulped down his saliva. He was also shocked by this scene and by Liu Xiu''s swordsmanship.


    This Liu Xiu is terrible.

 Chapter 255

    "Kill, kill Liu Xiu."


    Anxious, Cai Mao roared and ordered his private soldiers to rush up.


    Two quarters of an hour later, I''m afraid wenpin''s army will come. Time is fast for Cai Mao. He must take Liu Xiu as soon as possible, otherwise he will not be able to hold on.


    Wave after wave of private soldiers rush up crazily.


    Liu Xiu was tired of resisting, but he was still very supportive and did not let the private soldiers move forward.


    Never give up until the end.


    "Hoo! Hoo


    Liu Xiu gasped heavily. His body was very tired, and he could hardly hold on. He was sweating, and his clothes were wet with sweat.


    "Ho


    As soon as Liu Xiu''s pace slowed down, his body was in a gap.


    On the left shoulder, straight sword point stab.


    "Poof


    "Poof


    Although Liu Xiu tried his best to avoid the key points, his thigh and abdomen hit the sword again.


    Seeing this, Cai Mao laughed and said, "Liu Xiu, no matter how powerful you are, you can''t stand many people. Now, you are a wounded tiger and can''t support it. Fall down. If you die, you won''t be tired. "


    "My father died because of you."


    "The second sister''s death is due to you."


    "The Cai family''s counterattack is also due to you."


    "Liu Biao is about to be controlled now, because of you."


    "Everything, it''s you."


    "When you die, everything will be settled. You have to die. "


    Cai Mao was crazy. His eyes were already cold and full of expectation. Liu Xiugen''s sword skill is exquisite. If he doesn''t use the sea of people tactics, it''s impossible to kill Liu Xiugen.


    "Speed up and take Liu Xiu."


    Cai Mao waved his hand, and the soldiers under his command rushed to kill.


    Liu Xiu kept waving his sword to block the attack from private soldiers. However, his body has gradually been unable to keep pace with the thoughts in his brain, and even his thighs have been difficult to move.


    Seeing that Cai Mao''s private soldiers had been killed, Liu Xiunao''s idea was to resist immediately, but his hand movements and foot steps were a little slower.


    Continuous attacks, making Liu Xiu stretched.


    Under the protection of Deng AI, Liu Biao is constantly retreating. Liu Biao looks pale, and his spirit is slightly narrowed. Seeing that Liu Xiu is in trouble, he is even more worried.


    Cai Mao roared: "Liu Xiu, you have killed more than ten warriors in black. Even the private soldiers I brought, you have killed dozens of people. It''s amazing that you''ve been able to hold on till now. But in the end, you will die in my hands. "


    Cai Mao''s voice was full of madness and excitement about winning.


    Liu Xiu did not pay attention to Cai Mao, but was still absorbed in resisting. However, he is close to fatigue, even if Deng AI comes out to rescue from time to time, he has already fallen into difficulties and is hard to resist.


    "Can''t it hold?"


    "No, we have to hold on."


    "I still have a lot to do. I can''t die here."


    Liu Xiu''s steel teeth clenched tightly. He had only one year in his mind, that is, he would never give up.


    Suddenly, Liu Xiu''s face changed greatly.


    Three private soldiers came from three directions at the same time. In normal times, Liu Xiu can easily resist, but now, Liu Xiu can''t avoid it, even it''s difficult to resist.


    His trembling hand clenched the hilt of the sword and growled, "one sword, two kills!" The edge of the sword swung in the air and quickly killed the iron swords of two of the private soldiers, but Liu Xiu couldn''t recruit them back, so he could only bear the sword of the third soldier.


    "Whew!"


    Suddenly, a sharp roar, suddenly sounded in the air.


    "Ah


    With a scream, the soldier who stabbed Liu Xiu fell forward, and the point of the sword fell down.


    Liu Xiu looked up and saw a white figure approaching quickly.


    "A hundred birds to the Phoenix, kill!"


    Like a tiger, Zhao Yun directly entered the private army. He was carrying a long Dan bright silver gun to fight. The private soldiers in front of him were like scarecrows. They were either taken out or stabbed to death.


    No one can stop it!


    The magnificent figure, rapidly advancing.


    This figure came to Liu Xiu''s side like a God.


    Liu Xiu''s spirit was greatly boosted, and finally he had a smile on his face.


    Zhao Yun stood up with a gun and said, "master Xiu, are you here in time?"


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "it''s too timely. If you''re a little late, I''m afraid you''ll collect the corpse for me." Liu Xiu had a bright smile in his eyes and said: "Cai Mao revolts, Zilong, take Cai Mao first, no matter what life or death."


    Zhao Yun said, "can you do without my protection?"


    Friar Liu was so angry that he was worried. He said in a loud voice, "don''t worry, you can fight again.""Good!"


    Zhao Yun''s eyes fell on Cai Mao, and the bright silver gun of dragon gall in his hand pointed to the front. With one step, he had already approached Cai Mao''s direction. Zhao Yun''s appearance disrupted Cai Mao''s plan and broke his plan to kill Liu Xiu. Even Zhao Yun killed him, threatening Cai Mao''s safety.


    In his heart, Cai Mao was worried. He ordered his private soldiers to rush to Zhao Yun and roared, "Zhao Yun, you are Liu Bei''s general. You dare to fight in Xiangyang. Aren''t you afraid to bring trouble to Liu Bei?"


    Cai Mao roars, intending to distract Zhao Yun.


    When Liu Bei came to Xiangyang to visit Liu Biao and Zhao Yun accompanied him, Cai Mao knew Zhao Yun.


    Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun was beside Liu Xiu. This is really strange. But now, Cai Mao can''t manage so much. He has no time to think about the reasons and orders his private soldiers to besiege Zhao Yun.


    "Feng nods, kill!"


    Zhao Yun''s fighting capacity has all burst out, and he will fight with all his strength. Here, under Liu Bei''s orders and Liu Xiu''s arrangement, he could not see Liu Xiu killed.


    Zhao Yun''s eyes were focused and moved forward quickly.


    "Bang! Bang


    With the sound of continuous beating, Cai Mao''s private soldiers fell down one by one.


    Zhao Yunmao has been approaching for a moment.


    Under such circumstances, Cai Mao shivered and quickly stepped back to escape.


    "Stop Zhao Yun, stop me."


    Cai Mao quickly retreated, and soon he had retreated to the door of his study. However, his private soldiers still did not block Zhao Yun''s advance. Like a sharp knife, Zhao Yun easily tore open Cai Mao''s defense line and approached him.


    "Da! Da! Dada


    Hasty and flustered footsteps, suddenly came from the outside.


    "Kill the traitor and catch Cai Mao alive."


    A loud and steady voice suddenly came in from outside.


    A group of soldiers quickly killed in and approached Cai Mao and his private soldiers.


    Wenpin''s face was serious, and he roared: "Lord, wenpin has come." With a big gun in his hand, he took the lead and rushed up. Just as he rushed forward, he saw Cai Mao who had left his study.


    Wenpin''s eyes brightened, and Deng quickly approached, and his gun suddenly came out.


    The gun is as powerful as a dragon.


    Cai Mao also found the soldiers coming and saw Wen pin coming. He was so scared that he not only beat a cicada, but also turned around and wanted to step back. As soon as he turned around, he met Zhao Yun who had broken through the private defense line. Cai Mao was caught in the middle, and it was difficult to move forward or backward. Cai Mao sighed in his heart. Knowing that he was defeated, he simply stood still.


    "Pa!"


    Wenpin''s gun arrived first, and the barrel of the gun hit Cai Mao''s left shoulder in an instant.


    "Pa!"


    Almost at the same time, Zhao Yun''s gun hit Cai Mao''s right shoulder again.


    Two forces burst out at the same time, Cai Mao''s body seemed to have been hit, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, without even a trace of stagnation.


    Wen pin waved his hand and said, "up, down!"


    The soldiers rushed forward and arrested Cai Mao directly.


    Wenpin roared: "Cai Mao is caught, and those who fall will not be killed."


    With an order, the private soldiers of the Cai family immediately gave up their resistance, threw away their weapons and surrendered. When Zhao Yun and wenpin came to Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu was sitting on the ground, exhausted and gasping.


    Bean sized sweat, constantly sliding.


    At this time, Liu Xiu was about to collapse, and his body didn''t even have a trace of strength. Even his thighs began to twitch, tired and hard to stick to.

 Chapter 256

    Wen pin looked at Liu Xiu with concern, then came to Liu Biao''s body and said: "Lord, the rescue is late, please forgive me."


    Liu''s face was slightly pale. He waved his hand and said, "no harm! Just in time. "


    When Cai Mao was caught, Liu Biao''s heart relaxed. In an instant, Liu Biao felt dizzy in his brain. As soon as his eyes closed, he was paralyzed.


    Seeing this, wenpin helped Liu Biao.


    Liu Xiu worried about Liu Biao''s safety, so he asked wenpin to put Liu Biao on the bed. Then he told people to call for a doctor, and asked wenpin to deal with the matter after the fight. Zhao Yun didn''t stay and left.


    Next, wenpin asked the soldiers to clean the study and the yard outside. Then he asked the soldiers to retreat and stay in the prefecture for the time being to ensure the security of the prefecture.


    In the room, Liu Xiu and Wen pin sat opposite each other.


    Not long after, Yi Ji, Kuai Yue and others also came to the room.


    The four sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Liu Biao on the bed, with a worried look in their eyes.


    When the doctor arrived, he began to feel Liu Biao''s pulse. But the more he felt the pulse, the more serious the doctor''s expression became. After a quarter of an hour, the doctor stopped feeling his pulse, and then checked Liu Biao''s eyes and tongue coating one by one.


    After the diagnosis, the doctor sighed and said: "Mr. Xiu, Liu Jingzhou''s condition is very bad. I guess it''s just a matter of these days. So, hurry to prepare and be patient."


    "Ah


    Liu Xiu was surprised and said, "doctor, how could it be like this?"


    This surprised Liu Xiu.


    Even Liu Xiu was not prepared at all. Although Liu Biao is dead, Liu Xiu now has the opportunity to take over Jingzhou and exclude Liu Qi.


    However, what Liu Xiu valued most was not Jingzhou Mu''s position, but his power.


    Liu Biao died suddenly. Liu Xiu didn''t even control Changsha County, and Yuzhang county only got half of it, but not all of it. As for other counties in Jingzhou, they are not under Liu Xiu''s control. If we wait another year or two and wait until the time of Liu Biao''s death in history, Liu Xiu will be better prepared.


    However, the sudden situation has disrupted Liu Xiu''s rhythm and made him feel in a hurry.


    Liu Xiu asked, "doctor, is there no other way?"


    The doctor shook his head and said, "I can''t help it. Liu Jingzhou''s body is very empty. Today, he should have experienced great grief and anger again, leading to emotional loss. When he vomited blood, he hurt his heart even more. He has lost too much energy, and his spirit is seriously insufficient, so it''s hard for him to persist. "


    Liu Xiu sighed, "thank you very much."


    "I beg your pardon


    The doctor sighed and turned away.


    Yi Ji, Kuai Yue and Wen pin looked at each other and understood each other.


    Yi Ji said: "young master Xiu, my Lord is seriously ill..."


    Liu xiudao: "Mr. Ji Bo, if you have anything to do, wait until you come down. Let me accompany my father."


    "No!"


    Yi Ji gets up, Kuai Yue and Wen pin also get up and leave the study.


    Liu Xiu sat in the room, looking at Liu Biao, who was lying on the bed, his face was like earth color and had completely lost his luster. He could not help sighing in his heart. Even though Liu Biao ignored it since he was a child, he didn''t fulfill any of his father''s responsibilities. Even Liu Biao hated him. However, with his rise, Liu Biao gradually changed his outlook and appreciated and loved him.


    However, Liu Biao has now stepped into the gate of death, and it''s hard to stick to it. Liu Xiu''s heart is also a burst of sadness. Anyway, no matter what Liu Biao has done, this is his father after all.


    "Fool, don''t worry. It''s no big deal."


    Suddenly, Liu Biao woke up. Seeing Liu Xiu''s dignified look, he began to comfort him. Especially seeing the wounds on Liu Xiu''s body and the blood all over his body, he felt a little ashamed of Liu Xiu.


    However, at the thought of Liu Cong, Liu Biao''s heart is a burst of remorse.


    Kill your son!


    Kill your wife!


    He did both.


    Liu Biao didn''t regret killing CAI. The only one is Liu Cong, who killed Liu Cong unjustly.


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu comforted him and said, "father, cultivate yourself well. The doctor said that you''re OK. You''ll recover soon."


    Liu Biao said: "I have heard what the doctor said just now, but I didn''t wake up completely. You don''t have to comfort me. Just die. It''s no big deal. "


    Liu Xiu did not know how to persuade him.


    Liu Biao said: "you are also injured. Go down and wash, and then let the doctor bandage you. Don''t leave the patient. You call Yi Ji, Kuai Liang and Wen pin. I have something to say to them. "


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu nodded, got up and went out of the room.


    Out of the room, Liu Xiu immediately sent someone to call Yi Ji, Kuai Yue and Wen pin back and said, "father wants to see you."


    "What''s the matter?" Asked Eji.Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "my father didn''t disclose it either. Mr. Ji Bo asked me to wash up."


    Yi Ji nods and enters the room with Kuai Yue and Wen pin.


    "Yiji, meet the Lord."


    "Kuai Yue, meet the Lord."


    "Wenpin, meet the Lord."


    Three people bow at the same time, and then stand beside Liu Biao.


    Liu Biao''s face was already haggard. He felt uncomfortable in his chest. He moaned and said, "Uncle Ji, put a quilt on my back. I want to sit up."


    Yi Ji quickly came forward, put a quilt on the back of Liu Biao, and supported Liu Biao on it.


    Liu Biao leans back on the quilt and is much better. He said in a low voice: "to invite you three here is to discuss who will inherit Jingzhou. I heard what the doctor said just now. I''m going to die soon. I have to make arrangements in advance. Previously, Xiuer suggested that I should appoint an heir directly. But I thought about going, but I didn''t decide. So, call you in and ask for your opinion. "


    Yi Ji said: "I support the Lord''s decision. The Lord will serve for whoever he chooses."


    Kuai Yue said, "so do I


    Wenpin zhengse way: "Lord, the end will be the same."


    The answers of the three people are very vague, and there is no substantive answer at all.


    Liu Biao shook his head and said: "now you don''t need to push each other. What you need to do now is to say what you really think. Who do you think is more suitable, kier or Xiuer? This is a major event related to the future of Jingzhou. We must not be careless, we must be cautious. "


    After that, Liu Biao looked at the three.


    Three Iraqis, still suddenly.


    Liu Biao saw that several people were not willing to speak, so he called his name directly and said, "Ji Bo, you say it first."


    Yi Ji replied, "my Lord, I think it''s more suitable to be a monk."


    "Reason!" Liu Biao asked.


    Yi Ji replied: "in fact, childe Qi is kind and gentle, and he is also a suitable successor. If it is Mr. Qi who governs Jingzhou, it will not be bad. "


    "However, childe Qi''s character is flawed, not decisive enough, suitable for peace and prosperity."


    "In the Taiping period, Duke Qi was able to govern Jingzhou well. But now it''s a time of chaos. Cao thieves in the north are eyeing, Sun Quan in the East is ready to move, and Liu Bei''s mind in Nanyang County is hard to measure. Especially now that Mr. Qi has gone to Nanyang County, he has become one with Liu beilian, and the situation is even more complicated. "


    Yi Ji, with a straight face, said: "if master Qi inherits Jingzhou, I''m afraid Liu Bei will take away the hard-earned foundation of master Qi. On the other hand, young master Xiu was decisive and mature, and he could calm the scene. Only when master Xiu is here can the foundation created by the LORD be passed on


    The words did not suppress Liu Qi, nor praise Liu Xiu, but said their views impartially.

 Chapter 257

    Liu Biao nodded slightly, very satisfied with the analysis of Yi Ji.


    Liu Biao''s eyes turned to Kuai Yue and asked, "what''s your opinion on this


    Kuai Yue thought about it, and then he said, "please tell me, I also think that xiugongzi is more suitable to inherit Jingzhou."


    Liu Biao asked, "why?"


    Kuai Yue''s expression was serious and said in a deep voice: "master Xiu is Pang Gong''s disciple, and he has already made up his mind with Huang Yueying. Invisible, he has got the support of Pang family and Huang family. Compared with Mr. Qi, Mr. Xiu has more advantages. Besides, xiugongzi has been on the battlefield several times and has rich experience. With xiugongzi, we can keep the foundation set by our Lord. If you have master Xiu, you can even expand your territory and expand your foundation. "


    Liu Biao nodded and his eyes twinkled.


    Jingzhou has the present situation, is his painstaking creation, Liu Biao naturally can''t let his foundation be robbed, even if it is Liu Bei.


    Liu Biao already had an idea in his mind and was inclined to Liu Xiu, but he still asked again, "wenpin, what about you?"


    Wen pin didn''t even think about it. He said directly, "it will be a rude man at the end. He will obey the Lord''s orders. The Lord asked the last general to assist the young master, and the last will assist the young master. "


    Although there was no answer, Liu Biao was very satisfied.


    Wen pin is his true confidant!


    With wenpin in his heart, he is steadfast.


    Liu biaoqiang supported his tired body and said slowly: "now I ask you, which childe do you think is more suitable? Needless to say, I''m going to let you choose to follow my orders. "


    Wenpin was silent. After a long time, he said, "I''ll report back to my Lord. I think xiugongzi is more suitable."


    Liu Biao said, "why?"


    Wenpin replied: "xiugongzi is good at fighting and can defend Jingzhou."


    Liu Biao nodded and understood. The three important officials under his command all agreed that Liu Xiu was more suitable, which was obviously Liu Xiu. And in Liu Biao''s mind, he also thinks Liu Xiu.


    Liu Qi was weak in temperament and general in ability. He was not bold enough and aggressive enough to suppress Yi Ji, Kuai Yue and Wen pin. Only Liu Xiu had this ability.


    What''s more, the scene of Liu Xiu sitting on the ground in order to protect him last night was still hovering in Liu Biao''s mind. Liu Biao thought that Liu Xiu was more suitable.


    Liu Biao said, "wenpin, send someone to inform Liu Xiu. When he has finished washing and bandaging the wound, come to my room to discuss business."


    "Yes


    Wen pin nodded, got up and went down to arrange.


    Soon wenpin returned to his room.


    Liu Biao spoke for a while, but he was already exhausted. He said, "I''ll have a rest. When Xiuer comes, I''ll wake him up." He stopped talking and lay on the bed with his eyes closed. He was so sleepy and tired that he didn''t have any spirit at all.


    As soon as I closed my eyes, I fell asleep.


    Two quarters of an hour later, Liu Xiu came to the room.


    Liu Xiu saw Liu Biao lying down and asked, "Mr. Ji Bo, what can I do for you?"


    Yi Ji said, "Lord, please come."


    Immediately, Yi Ji opened his mouth and said, "Lord, here comes Xiugong."


    Liu xiudao: "Mr. Ji Bo, my father is tired. Let him sleep a little longer. Let''s wait."


    Yi Ji nodded and several people were waiting in the room.


    At this time, Liu Biao had already opened his eyes. He looked at Liu Xiu kindly. His muddy eyes, a little more clear, said: "Uncle Ji, help me up."


    "Yes


    Yi Ji nodded, then helped Liu Biao to sit up.


    Liu Biao then ordered: "prepare ink, paper and inkstone!" Yi Ji also quickly took a small table and put it on the bed, and then prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.


    Immediately, Yi Ji quickly polished Liu Biao.


    Liu Xiu, Kuai Yue and wenpin are sitting in the study, waiting quietly.


    Liu Biao tremblingly picked up the brush, covered with ink, and then began to write on a piece of cloth. Yi Ji stood beside Liu Biao and saw it clearly.


    What Liu Biao wrote was to let Liu Xiu inherit the arrangement of Jingzhou.


    After writing, Liu Biao was out of breath.


    Bean big sweat, constantly sliding down from the forehead, wet clothes. He took out Jingzhou Mu''s seal ribbon, stamped it with a seal, and pressed Liu Biao''s thumb.


    "Ji Bo, put away this cloth. Tomorrow morning, I will call together the civil and military officials of Jingzhou and announce publicly that Xiuer will take charge of the animal husbandry of Jingzhou."


    When Liu Biao spoke, his face suddenly became ruddy.


    Spirit, become very good.


    Seeing this scene, Liu Xiu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.


    Yi Ji put away the imperial edict written by Liu Biao himself, and felt at ease. He supported Liu Xiu from the beginning, and now it''s time to harvest.At this time, Liu Biao continued: "you three are my brothers. Ji Bo is good at government affairs. He is good at strategy. He is a great general


    "I don''t worry about you."


    "After a hundred years, I''ll rely on you to help, help, help Repair... "


    Liu Biao''s words suddenly stuttered. He seemed to be aware of something. He grabbed the small table with both hands, widened his eyes, and tried to say: "Xiuer, keep Jingzhou."


    With one breath, Liu Biao was lying on the desk.


    "Father


    Liu Xiu stepped up and came down to Liu Biao. He picked up Liu Biao and tried to pinch it, but it didn''t help. Put your hand in front of Liu Xiu''s breath, Liu Biao didn''t even have a breath.


    When Yi Ji saw this, he sighed in his heart.


    It''s a pity that Liu Biao didn''t even get through tonight. If Liu Biao announces that Liu Xiu will inherit Jingzhou in front of Jingzhou officials tomorrow, things will be better and the transition will be more smooth. Now that Liu Biao died of illness, there are some troubles. Fortunately, Liu biaogang wrote an order, so Liu Xiu had enough reasons to inherit Jingzhou.


    Yi Ji said: "master Xiu, I''m sorry!"


    Kuai Yue said: "young master Xiu, the Cai family rebelled, the Lord died of illness, and young master Cong was killed. Everything has been piled up and has to be dealt with. Moreover, Cai Mao is still in custody and needs to be dealt with. "


    Liu Xiu took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Ji Bo, what should we do now?"


    Liu Xiu''s heart was filled with grief at Liu Biao''s death. One night, too much happened. Cai Mao''s rebellion was arrested, Liu Cong was killed, Cai Shi was killed, and Liu Biao died of illness.


    Today, Jingzhou is a mess.


    Yi Ji looked calm and said slowly: "the news of my Lord''s death is temporarily blocked. General wenpin still needs to send troops to control the four corners of the city gate and to protect the prefecture. He can''t relax a bit. "


    "Early tomorrow morning, the officials of Jingzhou will be called to the prefectural pastoral government to discuss the matter. It will be publicly announced that the Lord appointed xiugongzi to inherit the order of Jingzhou. Those who refuse to accept the order will be dealt with directly."


    "In addition, it was announced that Cai Mao''s rebellion led to the injury and death of his Lord. Even his second sons Liu Cong and Cai Shi died in the fight."


    After all, Yi Ji went through the storm and arranged it very quickly.


    Kuai Yue added: "I agree with Jibo''s proposal, which is very complete. However, I would like to add that people in xiugongzi''s department should be informed in advance so that they can be prepared. "


    Yi Ji shakes his head and says with serious eyes: "strange degree, this kind of thing can''t be notified in advance. Once the notice is given in advance, it means that the information may be leaked, and it will be very difficult tomorrow. "


    Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "I also think we can''t give notice in advance, otherwise it''s easy to get out of control. Now, we just need to release the news that Cai''s family is in trouble and Cai Mao is arrested. "


    After that, Liu Xiu looked at Wen pin and said, "general Zhongye, is the Cai family under control?"


    Wenpin had confidence on his face and said: "don''t worry, young master. Everything of the Cai family is under control. In fact, it was because of the resistance of the private soldiers of the Cai family who came to the prefecture for rescue. Otherwise, it would have been there a long time ago. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "since it''s under control, there''s no problem. We will follow Mr. Ji Bo''s suggestion and announce the news of inheriting Jingzhou early tomorrow morning. At the same time, my father''s funeral is jointly organized by Mr. Ji Bo and Mr. Yi Du. I don''t understand this. I need the help of these two gentlemen. "


    Yi Ji and Kuai Yue nodded and agreed.


    Yi asked wenpin to dispatch soldiers to help, and then ordered the soldiers to move Liu Biao''s body back to the bedroom for security. Next, Liu Biao was given birthday clothes and so on.


    Liu Xiu left the yard and came to the room where Cai Mao was held.

 Chapter 258

    Cai Mao looked pale and haggard.


    This time, I lost!


    Not only he but also the Cai family.


    When Cai Mao saw Liu Xiu, he still refused to admit defeat and bow his head. He stared at Liu Xiu and said with a sneer, "young master Xiu, do you want to see me embarrassed?"


    Liu Xiu sat in the room and said, "there''s such an idea. You are defeated. Now, isn''t it time for me to beat the water dog?"


    Cai Mao snorted, turned his head and looked humiliated in his eyes.


    He is the head of Jingzhou''s first aristocratic family, and he is also a military adviser in Jingzhou. He is a man who will shake Jingzhou by stamping his feet. Now he has become a prisoner, humiliated by a common son, which is humiliating.


    Liu Xiu looked at Cai Mao and suddenly sighed.


    Unfortunately, both sides have come to this point.


    Cai Mao didn''t want to see Liu Xiu at all. He strained his face and said in a deep voice, "if you are here to humiliate me, now you have achieved your goal. You can go. I don''t want to see you. Liu Xiu, you have defeated me and the Cai family. Sooner or later, you will follow me


    Liu Xiu said, "Mr. Cai, I have a question."


    Cai Mao said, "say it!"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were calm and asked, "what I want to say is that I am so unbearable, so unbearable? Why is Mr. Cai willing to support my second brother and never willing to support me? The second elder brother married a woman from the Cai family, and I will marry Yueying. Yueying is also your close relative. Why does military adviser Cai always aim at me again and again and refuse to support me? "


    Cai Mao suddenly laughed and said, "because you are a common man!"


    In a word, Liu Xiu''s face was cold and solemn.


    Son of a bitch!


    Liu Xiu had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "is the difference between the legitimate son and the common son so obvious? Even if you know that Liu CongGang is headstrong and incompetent, you are not willing to support me? "


    Cai Mao said in a deep voice, "is there a second reason?"


    Liu xiudao: "what''s the reason?"


    Cai Mao burst out laughing and said, "I won''t tell you. Ha ha, guess for yourself." To be able to tease Liu Xiu, Cai Mao''s heart suddenly gave birth to a strong pride.


    When he is dying, it is also a great pleasure to play with Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiuse said: "the general reason why Mr. Cai chose his second brother is not that he was a concubine or a legitimate son, but that he was headstrong and a fool, easy to control. Even in CAI''s mind, he might think that once his father died, Jingzhou would be hard to resist Cao Cao in the north. When Cao Cao went south, Cai Junshi could coerce his second brother to obey Cao Cao. "


    Speaking of this, Liu xiudao said: "after all, there is a good relationship between CAI Junshi and Cao Cao. Even if he surrendered, Cao Cao could not have mistreated Cai Junshi. "


    Cai Mao''s eyebrows were raised and his eyes looked surprised.


    Liu Xiu knows about his relationship with Cao Cao.


    Liu Xiu even judged his real intention of supporting Liu Cong.


    "Ha ha ha Liu Xiu, you are really clever. Ask me first, and now come to expose my words. Are you very proud to humiliate me like this? Yes, you are a big winner now. It''s your turn to be arrogant. "


    Cai Mao sneered again and again, and his mood went down completely.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "Mr. Cai, my father has died of illness."


    "I''m dead!"


    Cai Mao''s eyes were full of surprise.


    Although Liu Biao was seriously ill, he didn''t die directly.


    Cai Mao asked, "did you kill Liu Biao?"


    Liu Xiu tut tut two times, said: "I in the eyes of CAI Junshi, really unbearable ah, even his father''s death, Cai Junshi can think of me, and will not consider that his father is impatient, after experiencing great grief and anger, the body can no longer hold on."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "this evening, my father was encouraged by CAI to kill Liu Cong first and then CAI. Then, seeing your betrayal, you said, "can father insist?"


    Cai Mao caressed his hands and laughed, praising: "it''s good to die, it''s good to die. Cai''s family has suffered. Cai''s family buried him with him. It''s worth it


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s not only Cai''s funeral, but also Cai''s military adviser."


    "Me?"


    Cai Mao''s whole body suddenly widened his eyes.


    At this moment, Cai Mao was scared, his eyes were horrified, and he was completely afraid.


    Although Cai Mao was arrested and his family would be surrounded, Cai Mao felt that he would not die, and he did not expect Liu Xiu to kill him. After all, he is the owner of the Cai family in Jingzhou, with a huge network of contacts, and he is also Huang Yueying''s uncle.


    Under this premise, Cai Mao thought that even if he failed and the Cai family was destroyed, he would certainly be able to save his life.


    Liu Xiu''s words beat him down mercilessly and fell to the ground mercilessly.


    Death, so close.


    Cai Mao was furious and said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, if you kill me, Jingzhou will be in turmoil."


    Liu Xiu gave a little smile and said calmly, "has Mr. Cai forgotten? Your family members and civil and military officials of the Cai family have been transferred from their original positions. If they want to do justice for Mr. Cai, I don''t mind killing him. It happened that I inherited Jingzhou, but I didn''t have Liwei. But now it seems that they can''t do it. "Cai Mao was worried and said, "I''m Yueying''s uncle. If you kill me, how can you explain to Yueying and the Huang family. This incident will certainly cause a rift between you and the Huang family. "


    In order to protect his life, Cai Mao kept looking for reasons.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Mr. Cai, if the Huang family cares about you, will the three families unite to suppress the Cai family? What''s more, over the years, has the Tsai family regarded the Huang family in their eyes? Mr. Cai, don''t raise your importance so high. As for Yue Ying, when you sent out the assassin, did you ever think of her? "


    Cai Mao took a deep breath, looked at Liu Xiu and said, "I''m still useful. I''ll stay here and help you solve a lot of things."


    When it comes to his own life, Cai Mao changed his mind.


    Originally, he thought Liu Xiu would not kill him, so Cai Mao resented Liu Xiu for all kinds of uncoordination. But now that he knew that he was going to die, Cai Mao lost his principle and bottom line, and could no longer keep calm. He just wanted to live and do anything.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Mr. Cai, it''s impossible to change anything now. My father died of illness, my second brother was killed, and Cai''s family was killed. For such a great influence, there must be a person to bear the responsibility. This person can only be you. "


    "If you don''t die, it''s hard for Jingzhou scholars to calm down."


    "If you don''t die, Jingzhou family doesn''t agree."


    "If you don''t die, there will be no result in this turmoil."


    "It''s hard for me not to die."


    Liu Xiulian said four words: "you will never die." after each sentence, Cai Mao''s face was darkened and his despair increased. Liu Xiu stared at Cai Mao and continued: "Mr. Cai, don''t choose the wrong person in the next life. If you choose me at the beginning, you will not die; if you reconcile with me later, you will not die. Unfortunately, you are wrong. "


    "Come and see Cai off."


    Liu Xiu stood up and went out of the room.


    Suddenly, two soldiers came in and rushed to Cai Mao with Bai Ling.


    "No, I will die. I can''t die."


    Cai Mao roared and struggled loudly, but two fierce soldiers rushed up and did not allow Cai Mao to struggle. They soon hung Cai Mao on the white silk hanging on the beam.


    There was no sound in the room for a moment.


    When Liu Xiu heard it outside the room, he turned around and left.


    In fact, when he decided whether to kill Cai Mao or not, Liu Xiu had already thought about it over and over again. After careful consideration, Liu Xiu finally decided to kill Cai Mao and push him out to bear all the responsibilities. After all, the rebellion of the Cai family is a fact. Under such circumstances, killing Cai Mao can ensure the stability of the situation in Jingzhou.

 Chapter 259

    After a night of turmoil, a red sun rose from the East.


    On a cold morning, Xiangyang was under martial law.


    Outside the door of the Cai family''s house, the soldiers surrounded each other and sealed the Cai family to death. The news that the Cai family sent private soldiers to attack the gate of the city and surrounded the prefecture has spread in Xiangyang City.


    Cai Mao took the risk to collude with Liu Cong for rebellion. This result, in the eyes of many people, is not a too incredible thing, or even a matter of course. It is well known that Cai Mao supported Liu Cong.


    After all, Liu Xiu was the only one in the world to beat Liu Cong.


    In order to ensure their interests, it is possible for Liu Cong and Cai Mao to join hands to revolt.


    But Jingzhou officials, more or less, feel that something is wrong. Because the gate of Sifang city is now under martial law and no one is allowed to enter or leave. This kind of blockade is very harsh. It doesn''t look like the result of pacifying the rebellion at all.


    In addition, there are soldiers patrolling in Xiangyang City, which is even more unusual.


    The officials of Jingzhou got the order early in the morning and went to the prefecture for discussion.


    Everyone, on the way to the prefecture.


    At the gate, when Yi Ji, Kuai Liang and Wen pin arrived, they caused a sensation.


    An official stepped forward, stood beside Yiji, bowed his hand, and said tentatively, "Mr. Jibo, what''s the big deal today? How come all the people are here?"


    "Mr. Yidu, what''s the news from the prefecture?"


    Another official looked at Kuai Yue and asked him tentatively.


    As for the generals, Zhang Yun stood in the crowd, nervous. Zhang Yun and Cai Mao are very close to each other. It''s said that Cai Mao led private soldiers to attack Sifang city gate last night, and besieged the prefecture. Zhang Yun was shocked. In particular, Zhang Yun sent people to the prefecture to inquire about the news last night. Unfortunately, the Prefecture was surrounded by soldiers and couldn''t get in at all.


    The rest of the generals looked at Wen pin and wanted to ask for information.


    Unfortunately, Wen pin, Kuai Yue and Yi Ji were not moved and did not disclose the information.


    All the people speculated and went to the hall.


    After entering the hall and taking their seats, the crowd waited. At this time, right above the hall, Liu Biao''s seat was empty. Liu Biao, Liu Xiu and Liu Cong did not appear. There was no business, and the people murmured. Especially when we see that someone has already pushed Cai Mao to the original position, we know that Cai Mao must have been taken.


    After a moment, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the hall.


    "Here comes Mr. Xiu!"


    When the soldiers yelled, they saw Liu Xiu dressed neatly, wearing a Jinxian crown and a jade pendant around his waist, striding into the hall.


    As soon as Liu Xiu appeared, he attracted everyone''s attention.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    There was silence in the hall, and Liu Xiu went straight ahead.


    When Liu Xiu went to Liu Biao''s position and turned to sit down, the officials at the bottom widened their eyes one after another, with a look of surprise in their eyes.


    What''s going on?


    How did Liu Xiu sit on the throne!


    However, there is still no objection from the officials below. If Liu Xiu dares to sit on it, he will be confident. This is enough to explain why Yi Liang and Kuai Liang did not come to Wenyan.


    But in the minds of the officials, they began to guess where Liu Biao had gone?


    Is it getting worse?


    Officials speculated and waited for Liu Xiu to speak.


    Liu Xiu coughed twice, glanced over the officials in the hall, and said in a deep voice, "to call you together today is to announce something. From today on, I will take over the charge of Jingzhou and serve as the herdsman of Jingzhou. "


    Brush!


    In an instant, the officials below changed color.


    There was a lot of discussion.


    Zhang Yun had a bad relationship with Liu Xiu. After hearing Liu Xiu''s words, he was the first one to stand up and say, "how dare you ask Master Xiu


    In fact, Zhang Yun is a member of CAI Mao''s family. Now that Cai Mao has fallen, Liu Xiu will take over Jingzhou again. Under such circumstances, once Liu Xiu takes charge of Jingzhou, he will definitely be marginalized. Therefore, he did not want Liu Xiu to take charge of Jingzhou and directly asked about Liu Biao.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "last night, Cai Mao rebelled. His father was hurt and worried. He died of illness. In addition, Liu Cong and Cai Mao colluded in a rebellion. When the army suppressed the rebellion, the second brother died in the hands of the soldiers, and Cai Mao was also killed. "


    "Before my father left, he entrusted Jingzhou to me."


    Liu Xiu big sleeve a whisk, high head way: "in the future, Jingzhou will be decided by me."


    In a word, it declares the ownership of Jingzhou.


    When the officials heard this, they were all very surprised, and the ending was too strange. I didn''t expect that the turbulence last night would have such a great impact that even Liu Cong, Cai Mao and Liu Biao died.


    Zhang Yun was anxious, but he still didn''t want Liu Xiu to inherit Jingzhou.


    However, it is difficult to refute.


    At this time, Liu Xian stood up. He looked at Liu Xiu and said, "it''s well known that young master Xiu is outstanding. But since ancient times, they have all established their own laws and leaders. Liu Qi, the eldest son, should inherit Jingzhou. As long as Mr. Qi is still there, Mr. Xiu has no right to inherit Jingzhou. "As a firm heir of his eldest son, Liu Xian directly opposed it.


    After all, Liu Xiu is a commoner.


    Fu Xun also stepped forward. He looked at Liu Xiu and said in a loud voice, "no matter how wise and powerful he is, how outstanding his ability is. But on the issue of Jingzhou successor, we must follow the principle of eldest son succession. Xiugongzi has outstanding ability and understands reason, so please respect yourself and don''t damage xiugongzi''s reputation. "


    After they finished, they both stared at Liu Xiu, waiting for Liu Xiu''s reply.


    To be sure, they all admit that Liu Xiu is powerful, but the principle concerning Jingzhou''s successors cannot be broken, and they are members of Liu Qi''s family.


    Instead of answering immediately, Liu Xiu looked at the people in the hall and asked again, "do you have any different opinions?"


    "General Wang Wei has something to say!"


    Wang Wei, a burly man, stepped forward and spoke in a loud voice.


    Wang Wei is a military general in the army. His military power is weaker than Wen pin''s, and his official position is smaller than Wen pin''s. Liu Cong won over Wang Wei.


    He stepped forward, looked at Liu Xiu, and questioned: "Mr. Xiu said that Cai Mao and Mr. Cong conspired to rebel, but Cai Mao did. But what''s the evidence for Cong''s rebellion? There are also many doubts about the killing of Cong. "


    With these words, Liu Xiu''s color cooled down.


    Wang Wei dares to mention Liu Cong and seek death!


    Liu Xiu''s eyes showed a trace of killing intention and said: "General Wang said that the second elder brother didn''t revolt. Do you know how Cai Mao could revolt if he didn''t ask the second elder brother''s consent? General Wang, do you want to challenge my patience? "


    Liu Xiu couldn''t bear Wang Wei''s suspicion.


    Wang Wei continued: "the truth is not clear, young master Xiu, the end will only be on the matter."


    Liu xiudao: "seeing that Liu Cong''s rebellion is numerous, general wenpin can testify, Yi Ji can testify, and Kuai Yue can testify."


    Kuai Yue said: "yes, Cai Mao colluded with Cong Gongzi."


    Yi Ji nodded and said, "it''s true that Cai Mao colluded with Cong Gongzi."


    Wen pin then said, "I will testify that Cai Mao colluded with Liu Cong, the second son of the party. Last night, when Cai Mao attacked the gate of Sifang City, he wanted to win over the general. He said that as long as he cooperated with the general, the second son would be promoted and entrusted with important tasks. Even the soldiers in the army know about it and can check it out. "


    After a pause, Wen pin said: "when the general led his troops to the prefecture, the second young master and Cai Mao''s soldiers were besieging the Lord. Fortunately, young master Xiu spared no effort to protect the Lord, so he didn''t let him be killed on the spot. Rao is so, Lord or... "


    Liu Xiu answered and said in a deep voice, "General Wang, do you think wenpin''s words are reliable?"


    Wang Wei''s eyebrows were a little more dignified and said: "reliable!"


    With a sigh, Wang Wei stopped talking.


    I thought that I wanted to get a clear statement for Liu Cong, but I didn''t expect that even wenpin helped Liu Xiu speak. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for anyone to oppose Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 260

    At this time, Han ran stood up again and asked, "young master Xiu, I also have a question."


    Han Ran is the younger brother of General Han Xi under Liu Biao. In the fourth year of Jian''an, Han Xi was dispatched by Liu Biao and led 5000 spearmen with Liu Hu as Huang Zu''s vanguard to resist the Jiangdong soldiers. In the end, the whole army was destroyed and Han Xi and Liu Hu died in the war.


    After Han Xi died in the war, Han ran became an official and worked under Liu Biao''s account, which was highly valued by Liu Biao. Although Han Ran''s status is not equal to that of Kuai Liang and others, he is also quite influential.


    Liu Xiu looked neither happy nor sad and said, "what''s Mr. Han''s question?"


    Han ran replied, "I want to know, when my lord died, did he make a will?"


    In Han Ran''s view, the insistence of Liu Xian and Fu Xun is totally meaningless.


    If Liu Biao makes a will, it means that he can only follow Liu Biao''s advice. Even if Liu Qi is the eldest son, it is difficult to object. Of course, if there is a will, it is natural to act according to it. If not, maybe it''s true. Maybe Liu Biao set up Liu Qi, but he was destroyed by Liu Xiu. It''s hard to infer the trickiness, but we always have to ask.


    Han Ran''s words are to test Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xian and Fu Xun also had a smile on their faces. Liu Xian said, "dare to ask Mr. Xiu, do you have any last words?"


    Liu Xiu said, "yes! When his father died, he made a will. "


    Han ran said, "please show it to us." All the civil servants present were outstanding in literary talent, and they were familiar with Liu Biao''s handwriting, so they could tell the truth at a glance.


    As long as Liu Xiu takes out his will, he can identify it immediately.


    Liu Xiu said, "Mr. Ji Bo, take it out."


    "Yes


    Yi Ji nodded and took out the cloth from his sleeve.


    He spread out the cloth, and then held the left and right corners of the cloth with both hands, so that the cloth spread out, and slowly said: "gentlemen, this is the master''s handwriting last night, and he pressed the master''s fingerprints. All of you are familiar with the master''s handwriting. Please come up and watch it. "


    Fu Xun and Liu Xian went up first. When they saw it, they both opened their eyes.


    Really choose Liu Xiu to inherit Jingzhou!


    Liu Biao made it clear in his will that Liu Xiu was the most suitable person to inherit Jingzhou because of his outstanding ability, literary talent, military strategy and filial piety. After reading Liu Biao''s will, Fu Xun and Liu Xian were silent.


    Han ran also went forward to read it. He looked at every word carefully, and the strokes of these characters were trembling. In this respect, it was written by Liu Biao. Because Liu Biao is old and on the verge of death, the words he wrote will have signs of shaking.


    Han ran no longer doubted it. He arched his hand and said, "I will obey the Lord''s orders!"


    In a word, Han ran made a decision directly.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes swept over Zhang Yun, Fu Xun and Liu Xian with a sense of examination.


    If these people are ignorant of current affairs, then


    At this time, Zhang Yun immediately said: "the end will comply with the Lord''s decision, the Lord chose to inherit Jingzhou xiugongzi, the end will be willing to fengxiugongzi." Up to now, Zhang Yun did not try to be brave any more, so he simply worked for Liu Xiu. Besides, he and Liu Xiu are relatives after all. Although they had a festival, Liu Xiu can''t be too difficult.


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly, with a satisfied look on his face.


    Liu Xian''s eyes, however, showed a thoughtful look.


    Liu Xian has always supported Liu Qi. Naturally, he can''t let Liu Xiu take over Jingzhou smoothly. Liu Xian changed his mind and said, "Mr. Xiu, I have a sentence that I don''t know what to say


    "What''s that?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes showed a touch of coldness.


    It seems that Liu first wants to stick to the end, and he won''t support him any more.


    If so, Liu Xiu doesn''t mind sacrificing the butcher''s knife.


    Liu Xian said: "the candidates of Jingzhou animal husbandry have always been appointed by the imperial court. It was also an order from the imperial court that the LORD was in charge of Jingzhou. However, it is not reasonable to take over Jingzhou only by virtue of his will. I think that if master Qi or master Xiu wants to take over Jingzhou, he should be appointed by the emperor. "


    This is pure sophistry.


    At the beginning, Liu Xiu wanted to inherit Jingzhou. Liu Xian said that Liu Qi must take over Jingzhou if he wanted to establish a legitimate leader. After Liu Xiu took out Liu Biao''s will, Liu Xian pointed out that Liu Biao''s will was unreasonable and must be appointed by the emperor. Obviously, Liu Xiu was not allowed to inherit Jingzhou.


    As a matter of fact, the so-called appointment by the imperial court after the princes went their own way is superficial, just a matter of what to do and what to do.


    There was no panic in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    Looking at Fu Xun, Liu said: "Mr. Fu, what do you think? Do you also think that the appointment of the emperor should prevail? "


    A little bit of killing intention flickered from Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    Originally, Liu Xiu thought that Liu Xian and others insisted on establishing their own leaders only because of the problem of principle. Now it seems that Liu Qi has accepted it. Liu Qi is not simple either.


    Fu Xun replied, "Mr. Xiu, I''m going to approve the decision of my Lord."


    In a word, Fu Xun changed the wind.Fu Xun saw the intention of killing from Liu Xiu''s expression. If he insists on it, he may be destroyed. When Fu Xun changed his style of speaking, Liu Xian widened his eyes and said in a loud voice, "Fu Xun, you..."


    Fu Xun said, "Mr. Shizong, I will obey the Lord''s orders."


    Liu Xian immediately had a feeling of being trapped, and even an angry idea. He and Fu Xun have always been on the same line, but now Fu Xun has changed his mind and let Liu Xian fight alone.


    LIU Xiu asks again, "do you agree with Liu Xian''s statement?"


    Wang can stepped forward, shook his head and said, "Mr. Xiu, Liu Xian is just a mess. Mr. Xiu doesn''t have to deal with it. This kind of people, just blow out of the prefecture


    Once upon a time, Wang can worked for Liu Biao, but because Wang can''s appearance was very common and he didn''t have a dignified appearance, he wasn''t reused. When Liu Xiu was in charge of politics, Wang can''s heart became active. If you can get Liu Xiu''s reuse, you can show your ambition.


    Liu Xiu nodded his head and said, "I think it''s good. But if we don''t pay attention to it, it''s unreasonable. To be a man and to do things, we must have a reason. "


    Wang can said, "Mr. Xiu, Liu Xian is just making a fuss after all."


    But Liu Xiu took out an imperial edict from his sleeve calmly and said, "Zhongxuan, read the imperial edict."


    "No!"


    Wang can nodded, and his eyes were full of surprise.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu asked him to read it, which means that he was at least recognized by Liu Xiu. All the people in the hall were surprised when they heard the imperial edict.


    Imperial edict means at least the imperial edict issued by the emperor. How could Liu Xiu have an imperial edict?


    Yi Ji, Kuai Yue and Wen pin looked at each other, and they all looked surprised.


    They don''t know about it.


    Liu Xiu didn''t say it before. Three people''s hearts, suddenly gave birth to Liu Xiu unfathomable ideas, did not expect that at this time, Liu Xiu had a hand.


    The same is true for other officials in the lobby.


    Originally, the emperor''s edict was proposed to block Liu Xiu''s succession to the official post of Zhou mu. Now no one expected that Liu Xiu took out the imperial edict directly. It was as if Liu Xiu had already laid a pit, waiting for them to jump in.


    In particular, not everyone can easily get the imperial edict, Liu Xiu just took it out.


    Liu Xian stands in the lobby and looks at Liu Xiu. He suddenly has a bad feeling in his heart. As Liu Xiu takes out the emperor''s edict, things are beyond his control.


    However, the situation has always been under Liu Xiu''s control.


    Every time he asked a question, Liu Xiu could easily resolve it.


    Wang can took the imperial edict from Liu Xiu and looked at it roughly. He was even more surprised. Because the content of the imperial edict is very direct, which is the arrangement of appointing Liu Xiu as the herdsman of Jingzhou. Not only that, but also the emperor''s seal. This is the appointment issued by the Emperor himself. It is dignified and there is no fraud at all.


    Taking a deep breath, Wang can read out the contents of the imperial edict.


    After Wang can read it again, he turned over the imperial edict and turned the content page to all the officials for them to check.


    After a thorough understanding of the public.


    It turns out that there is an imperial edict.


    But they also think it''s incredible. They all know about Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu only went to Xu county once. Did he get the imperial edict at that time? In this way, Liu Xiu had this imperial edict for a long time. Even the emperor wanted Liu Xiu to take charge of Jingzhou. If you think about it again, Liu Xiu has always been fighting for the successor of Jingzhou, but he didn''t show it.


    Now Liu Biao died, Liu Xiucai took out the imperial edict.


    "Gudong!"


    Liu Xian swallowed his saliva and looked startled.


    At this moment, he really realized the horror of Liu Xiu. Everything, everything, is under Liu Xiu''s control, including his every move.


    Liu Xiu asked, "Liu Xian, what else do you have to say now?"


    Liu Xian arched his hand and said, "I have nothing to say about my humble position."


    Liu Xiu''s imperial edict played the role of calming the sea god. When the imperial edict is taken out, it is already a firm and irreversible thing.


    No one is a fool, no one will argue with Liu Xiu at this time.


    At this stage, if there are still people who come forward to question, it is that they really want to die, and they really hit their neck with Liu Xiu''s knife edge.


    "See you, Lord!"


    As a pioneer, Wang can, holding the imperial edict, turned and bowed to Liu Xiu.


    "See you, Lord!"


    "See you, Lord!"


    Kuai Yue, Wen pin and Yi Ji got up and bowed to each other.


    The rest of the officials also bowed themselves to the Lord. At this moment, even if some officials in the hall have other ideas in mind, they dare not question Liu Xiu''s legitimacy any more and can only accept it.


    Among them, those who are loyal to Liu Xiu are full of emotion.The more powerful Liu Xiu is, the better their future will be. Naturally, they are willing to see Liu Xiu preside over Jingzhou.

 Chapter 261

    "Sit down, gentlemen!"


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and motioned for the people to take their seats.


    Immediately, with a soft expression on his face, Liu Xiu said slowly, "my father died suddenly. The incident happened so suddenly that I didn''t prepare in a hurry. I''m not very familiar with Jingzhou''s government affairs. When I first took office, I didn''t understand a lot of things. Moreover, I was young and inexperienced, so I need to be mentioned by the public. "


    At this point, Liu Xiucai said: "I hope you and I will work hand in hand to create a new situation."


    When they heard the words, they even called Liu Xiuqian modest.


    Many people''s heart is more abdominal Fei, Liu Xiu if you are less experienced, then he is mentally retarded. Liu Xiu''s sophistication completely convinced the officials in Jingzhou.


    Yi Ji stepped forward and arched his hand and said: "the first thing for the new official to take office is to deal with the funeral of Jing Shenggong. He suggested that the prefectural government immediately arrange funerals and begin to prepare the location and date of jingshenggong''s burial. "


    Liu Xiuse said: "I''ll trouble Mr. Ji Bo to arrange this."


    Yi Ji smiles a little and says: "humble duty obeys."


    Immediately, Yi Ji sat back.


    Then, Kuai Yue stood up again and said, "Lord, the Cai family committed a crime, which resulted in jingshenggong''s death. Although Cai Mao has been killed, the Cai family should also be punished. He believed that the Cai family should be raided and the servants of the Cai family should be demobilized. "


    All the private soldiers of the Cai family have been captured, but the remaining details of the Cai family can not be underestimated. In order to prevent the resurgence of the Cai family and threaten Liu Xiu, we must thoroughly bring down the Cai family.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "please do it with Mr. Yidu."


    "No!"


    Kuai Yue nodded and returned to his seat.


    Wenpin stood up again and said: "Lord, Zhou Mu died of illness. This matter should be reported to the counties immediately and the rebellion of the Cai family should be announced."


    Liu Xiu said, "please arrange this matter with general Zhongye."


    What several people want to do is considered in advance. Liu Xiu agrees directly without hesitation.


    Wang can returned the imperial edict to Liu Xiu and returned to his seat. Now he got up again and came to the hall to report: "Lord, King Shenggong died of illness. I think we should invite Mr. Qi back to Xiangyang for his funeral."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes brightened, showing a look of approval.


    He didn''t think about it.


    Liu Qi in Xinye County, if encouraged by Liu Bei, it may cause trouble. If Liu Qi returns to Xiangyang to mourn, Liu Xiu can leave Liu Qi and weaken the threat brought by Liu Bei under the pretext of brotherhood. Without Liu Qi, Liu Bei was just living in Jingzhou. It was hard to become a great tool and could not cut into Jingzhou''s government affairs.


    Wang can''s suggestion came in time.


    Liu Xiu said: "Zhong Xuan''s consideration is very comprehensive. As the eldest son of his father, his father died of illness, so he should go back to Xiangyang to mourn." He looked at Yiji and said, "Mr. jiber, this matter should be arranged immediately."


    "No!"


    Yi Ji nodded and kept things in mind.


    After the political consultation, all the officials retired.


    Then, the prefectural government began to arrange Liu Biao''s mourning hall. Wenpin also relaxed the control of Xiangyang City and allowed people to go in and out of Xiangyang City. However, heavy soldiers were arranged in the four towers of Xiangyang City, and even soldiers were arranged around the prefectural government, which was loose outside and tight inside.


    In the mourning hall, Liu Xiushen, wearing plain clothes and a cloth of filial piety, kneels in front of the hall. All the people who came to the prefecture to express their condolence respectfully offered incense, and then had a simple conversation with Liu Xiu.


    What he said was just a set of words, just to comfort Liu Xiu not to be too sad, to be patient with grief, and to take care of the overall situation.


    Liu Xiu saluted one by one, and at night, he relaxed a little.


    Huang Yueying also came to the prefecture, wearing plain clothes and filial piety. Although Huang Yueying didn''t go through the door, in Liu Xiu''s mind, Huang Yueying is the daughter-in-law of the Liu family.


    Huang Chengyan did not object to this.


    Late at night, Huang Chengyan, Pang Degong and Kuai Liang sat down in a house in the backyard.


    After Liu Xiushen came in wearing plain clothes, he bowed his hand to the three.


    After taking a seat, Liu Xiu said: "teacher, Mr. Chengyan, Mr. zirou, things are busy during the day. Please forgive me for the poor reception." The three men helped Liu Xiu a lot, and they can be called Liu Xiu''s think tank. Although Liu Xiu had taken over the official post of Zhou mu, his attitude remained unchanged, and he respected them very much.


    Pound said: "Xiuer, brother Jingsheng died of illness. You have to be patient."


    Liu Xiu said, "don''t worry, teacher. I understand."


    Pound said justly: "we have heard about your succession to Jingzhou. But we all think that now you suddenly inherit Jingzhou, some abrupt, some hasty, a lot of things, have no time to prepare


    Liu Xiu sighed and sighed: "I can''t help it. What happened last night was too sudden. The disciples kept beating Cai Mao, expecting that Cai Mao might make some moves. However, I did not expect the situation to develop to this point. It would be much better if my father could last another year or two. "Kuai Liang said, "what happened last night?"


    Liu Xiu knew that Kuai Yue didn''t tell Kuai liang when he went back, otherwise Kuai Liang couldn''t have known.


    Liu Xiu didn''t hide anything, and he told us what happened last night.


    After that, Liu Xiu said with emotion: "I didn''t expect that Cai would cheat his father and say that he had an affair with his second brother. In that case, his father couldn''t calm down and killed his second brother in anger. When the second brother died unjustly, Cai said that there was no such thing at all. Then his father killed CAI. A series of things have dealt a great blow to my father. "


    Kuai Liang, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan can''t help but sigh.


    These things are very touching.


    Kuai Liang said: "there should be no problem when xiugongzi first took charge of Jingzhou, Changsha and Jiangxia counties, and Xiangyang should also have no problem. But I''m afraid it''s hard to guess the prefects of other counties. If there is turbulence, the situation will be unpredictable. "


    Liu Xiu also thought about this problem, but there was no way to stop it. He said, "it''s going to rain. If my mother wants to marry, she will do what she should do. Even if there is turbulence, there is no way


    Huang Chengyan said: "Xiuer, what do you think about you and Yueying? Originally, at this time, I shouldn''t have mentioned it, but Yueying, the girl, is filial to Jingsheng. You should give an explanation. "


    Liu Xiu replied, "I''m thinking about getting married after the Spring Festival. Now it''s the end of the new year, and my father''s new death. It''s more appropriate to wait a few months for things to fade out. "


    Huang Chengyan got a general time, relieved, nodded and said: "yes!"


    After thinking for a long time, Lord pound said in a deep voice: "Xiuer, you will send people to each county early tomorrow morning, and inform the Sheriff of each county to come back to mourn king Shenggong. In this way, you can roughly estimate who is willing to support you based on the people who come back. "


    "What the teacher reminds us is that the disciples will arrange it right away."


    Immediately, Liu Xiu directly sent someone to call wenpin, and then arranged to go on.


    After the matter was completed, Liu Xiucai said: "teacher, Mr. Chengyan, Mr. zirou, I was in charge of Jingzhou at the beginning, and there was a shortage of talents under my command. The three gentlemen are all my elders, and I.... "


    "Wait a minute!"


    Seeing this, pound interrupted Liu Xiu.


    Obviously, Pang Degong has understood Liu Xiu''s intention, and Liu Xiu intends to recruit them to be officials.


    But Pang degongzhi was not in the officialdom and explained: "Xiuer, although I am not in Jingzhou officialdom, I am also concerned about your development and your every move. If I don''t want to step into officialdom, I''ll let you go. "


    Huang Chengyan said: "people in officialdom can''t help themselves. Now living in seclusion in the wild is not only free, but also helpful. That''s the best result. "


    Kuai Liang said: "Mr. Xiu, I''m not in good health, and it''s hard for me to become an official. So, you don''t have to persuade. "


    Three people, all rejected Liu Xiu''s proposal.


    Liu Xiu sighed softly and said, "even so, I don''t want to be forced. But if there''s something wrong with you, you can''t avoid the teacher, Mr. Chengyan and Mr. zirou. You are my think tank. "


    "That''s nature!"


    Pound grinned, and there was a smile on his face.


    Huang Chengyan and Kuai Liang also nodded, with an expression of boundless responsibility.


    After talking with the three, Liu Xiu went back to Lingtang. Huang Yueying is still on the vigil. She sits down and puts some paper money in the brazier from time to time to make sure the brazier doesn''t go out.


    Seeing Liu Xiu coming, Huang Yueying asked, "third brother, father, where are they?"


    Liu xiudao: "we''ve already had a rest. Yueying, go down and have a rest. Next, I''ll watch the night. "


    Huang Yueying shook her head and said, "it''s OK. I''m in good spirits." There was a trace of tiredness on her beautiful face and a trace of blood in her eyes, but she insisted on staying with Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said, "if you want to stay, stay."


    In the second half of the night, Huang Yueying couldn''t stand it any longer. Liu Xiu asked people to send Huang Yueying down to have a rest, and then he was alone in the hall.

 Chapter 262

    Xinye County, prefect''s residence.


    Liu Qi has gained a lot of weight recently. She has a few concubines in her family. She has a very comfortable life. When he was in Xiangyang, he had to face not only Liu Biao''s harsh criticism, but also Liu Cong''s attack. He was worried all day and worked very hard. After arriving at Xinye, all the things were left to Liu Bei. He let go, very relaxed.


    Liu Qi has no great ambition, so he doesn''t fight with Liu Bei. Just like this, the relationship between him and Liu Bei is very harmonious, and there has never been any contradiction.


    On this day, Liu Qi was reading in her study.


    "Dong! Dong


    Knock on the door, outside the room.


    The attendant stood outside the door and reported, "your honor, uncle Liu and Mr. Zhuge are here. They are waiting for you in the hall."


    "I''ll be right there."


    Liu Qi put down his books and went to the hall.


    Coming to the hall, Liu Qi sees Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. Seeing that both of them were dignified, Liu Qi asked with a smile: "Xuande and Kong Ming are worried. What happened?"


    Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "master Qi, Bei just got the news that Jing Shenggong died of illness."


    "Ah


    A exclamation, Liu Qi thigh a soft, directly fell to the ground.


    Liu Bei quickly got up to help, Liu Qi stood up, motioned Liu Beisong to open his hand, but he still felt incredible. After he sat down, he motioned for Liu Bei to sit down.


    Then Liu Qi asked, "what''s going on? What happened to my father


    Liu Bei sighed and explained: "according to the news from Xiangyang, it was xiugongzi who got the trust of zhoumu. He did it on a large scale, and then cut off Cai Mao''s power in officialdom and army on a large scale. He even demoted Cai Mao to the gate of zhoumu."


    "In his anger, Cai Mao joined hands with Cong to revolt."


    Liu Bei said: "Cai Mao''s rebellion failed, so that he was defeated and killed. When he attacked the prefecture, Cong also died in the war. Liu Jingzhou went through these things. He was too sad and died of illness. "


    Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "the news should be true, but according to my speculation, Cai Mao''s rebellion should be forced by Liu Xiu on purpose. This is Liu Xiu''s calculation, and the final result is not known whether the Zhou Mu master really died of illness. "


    After a pause, Zhuge Liang said: "but according to the news, Jing Shenggong wrote a will specially, and Liu Xiu inherited Jingzhou. It is concluded that Liu Jingzhou really died of illness. Surprisingly, Liu Xiu not only had the will made by Zhou mu, but also had the imperial edict that the emperor appointed Liu Xiu as Jing Zhou mu. Today, young master Xiu has taken over Jingzhou and become the new herdsman of Jingzhou. "


    Brush!


    Liu Qi''s face changed when he heard the speech.


    This news has dealt a greater blow to Liu Qi.


    Although Liu Qi was kind and cowardly, and even didn''t like to interfere in government affairs, it didn''t mean that he had no idea about the position of Zhou mu.


    In his heart, he still wanted to inherit Jingzhou animal husbandry.


    When he became a herdsman in Jingzhou, he could do whatever he wanted, which was more comfortable.


    But now that Liu Biao has arranged for Liu Xiu to inherit Jingzhou, and Liu Xiu has the imperial edict of the emperor, Liu Qi''s heart can no longer produce the idea of fighting.


    Liu Qi sighed and said: "since the third brother has inherited Jingzhou animal husbandry, let him. I can''t refute the order of my father or the arrangement of the emperor. "


    When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes showed a trace of disappointment.


    Liu Qi''s disposition is too weak. He is a bit of submissive.


    I don''t have the heart to fight!


    In this way, it''s not easy to incite Liu Qi to rebel against Liu Xiu.


    When Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at each other, Zhuge Liang said, "master Qi, there''s one more thing. I''ve just received the order from Xiangyang that you should go back to mourning immediately. "


    Liu Qi didn''t even think about it and said directly, "OK, I''ll go back now. If my father died, I should go back. " He didn''t think about his situation at all, so he agreed.


    Moreover, before going north to Nanyang County, the relationship between Liu Qi and Liu Xiu was OK. Therefore, Liu Qi doesn''t think Liu Xiu will do anything for him. After all, he was good to Liu Xiu before.


    Zhuge Liang frowned and said, "don''t you think about the consequences when Mr. Qi returns to Xiangyang?"


    "What are the consequences?" Liu Qi asked.


    Liu Qi thought, is there anything else?


    Zhuge Liang sighed softly and said: "childe Qi is kind and honest. He doesn''t want to think about the bad. I think Liu Xiuzhi''s intention to invite you back to mourning is twofold. "


    Liu Qi asked: "which two intentions?"


    Zhuge Liang replied: "first, it''s really to mourn for Jingsheng Gong; second, it''s to control childe Qi."


    Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang said solemnly: "once master Qi returns to Xiangyang, the good result is that Liu Xiu will put you under house arrest. Since then, childe Qi is the Canary of the prefecture, and can no longer get freedom. The worst result is that Liu Xiu finds a reason to kill childe Qi. In this way, no one will pose a threat to Liu Xiu. "Liu Qi was startled, a look of fear, said: "no, there will not be such a bad result. The third younger brother is still good. He won''t do that. "


    In his opinion, Liu Xiu should not do this to him.


    Zhuge Liang said: "for the sake of power, it''s not an accident that brother-in-law acts as a wall. This kind of thing, everything is possible, and the probability is very high. "


    Liu Qi hears speech, in the heart a flustered God.


    Don''t say don''t know, said, his heart began to worry about their own safety.


    After a moment''s silence, Liu Qi said: "Mr. Zhuge is very resourceful. There must be a panacea to ensure my safety. Mr. Zhuge, you must help me. "


    Zhuge Liang gently shakes the feather fan and says slowly, "there is only one way to solve this problem. Stay in Xinye instead of going back to Xiangyang. As long as Mr. Qi returns to Xiangyang, he will be trapped in the Dragon shoal and will never be able to get rid of the cage. "


    Liu Qi frowned and said, "but my father died of illness. As the eldest son, I stayed in Xinye and didn''t return to Xiangyang. I can''t say it''s reasonable."


    Zhuge Liang said: "the generals will be outside, and the military orders will not be accepted. Moreover, Xinye is in a critical situation and may be attacked by Cao Jun at any time. If Mr. Qi leaves Xinye, who will take charge of the overall situation? Even if Mr. Qi doesn''t return to Xiangyang, no one will blame him. "


    Liu Qi said: "but..."


    In Liu Qi''s heart, there is still some hesitation.


    Liu Bei saw that Zhuge Liang had not been successful, so he took the words and advised: "Mr. Qi, the spirit of Jingsheng is in heaven. I won''t blame you. Because when you come back to Xiangyang, there will be a fratricidal situation. If you stay in Xinye, you can avoid such things and guard Nanyang County and jingshenggong''s foundation. So Jingsheng guild understands you. "


    As soon as Liu Bei opens his mouth, Liu Qi''s frown stretches.


    Fratricidal!


    This is a good reason, a good excuse.


    Zhuge Liang heart praise, or the Lord hit the nail on the head, said Liu Qi''s heart.


    Liu Qi sighed: "if I don''t go back, there is another problem. My third brother will definitely think that I want to compete with him. At that time, the third younger brother will also aim at me everywhere. "


    Liu Bei''s eyes were soft and he said slowly, "does Master Qi think that master Xiu is a kind person?"


    Liu Qi said: "the third brother is a good man."


    Liu Bei shook his head and continued: "if Liu xiuren is kind, he will not give you an urgent order to go back. He will just tell you the news and let you choose whether to go back to Xiangyang."


    "Now, his urgent order to let you go back to Xiangyang is to solve the future trouble."


    "Mr. Qi, Liu Xiu is not benevolent. What''s the point of your going back?"


    Liu Bei raised his voice and said: "Mr. Qi is the eldest son of Mr. Jing Sheng. He has outstanding talent and ability. Now, Liu Xiu is aiming at Mr. Qi everywhere. Is Mr. Qi willing to let him handle it? "


    "Although we are not competent, we will never sit back and ignore it."


    "In fact, Mr. Qi is the eldest son of Mr. Jing Sheng. The first person to inherit Jingzhou should be the son of Qi. It''s not up to Liu Xiu to inherit Jingzhou as a common son. "


    Liu Bei''s tone and grammar were serious, and he said urgently: "as the eldest son of jingshenggong, is childe Qi willing to hide in Xinye all his life? Would you like to be suppressed by Liu Xiu all your life? Jingshenggong hundred years, Qi childe always want to go back to ancestor worship, always to jingshenggong''s grave worship. Could it be that childe Qi is not going to worship Jing Shenggong all his life? "


    When Liu Qi heard the speech, there was a trace of ferocity in his eyes.


    Avoid Liu Xiu all my life!


    Don''t worship Liu Biao all your life!


    A lifetime of exile!


    He can''t be so harsh.


    Liu Qi took a deep breath, looked at Liu Bei, arched his hand and said, "please Xuande help me?" Liu Qi sees Liu Bei''s intention, but he is unwilling to be suppressed all his life.


    There was a smile in Liu Bei''s eyes, and he said: "don''t worry, young master Qi, leave everything to Bei. What Mr. Qi wants to do is to wait to return to Xiangyang. "


    Liu Qi nodded and had a little wild hope in her heart. If only she could go back to Xiangyang, there would be no need to be exiled.


    Liu Bei changed his words and said, "Duke Jing Sheng died of illness. Although Duke Qi can''t go back to Xiangyang, he can''t do nothing. In Xinye, we should also lay down a burial mound for Jingsheng to mourn. I''ll send someone to help Mr. Qi with this as soon as possible. "


    Liu Qi arched his hand and said, "thank you, Xuande Gong."


    Liu Bei said, "it''s not a matter of duty. I''m sorry, young master Qi. I''ll leave if I have some political affairs to deal with. "


    Liu Qi said: "walk slowly, don''t send!"


    Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang left the prefect''s residence, returned to their own government office, and sat down in their study.


    Liu Bei''s eyes twinkled with brilliance and said in a deep voice: "military strategist, Liu Xiu''s occupation of Jingzhou not only has Liu Biao''s will, but also has the emperor''s imperial edict. It''s a good name. Now how to fight against Liu Xiu? It''s easy to say, but it''s quite difficult to do. "


    With a smile in his mouth, Zhuge Liang said, "don''t worry, my Lord. I''ve already started the layout a long time ago. Now with Liu Qi''s support, we can start to lift it. ""Oh, how does it work?"


    Liu Bei''s eyes showed an unexpected look.


    Liu Bei didn''t intervene in all the military affairs and let Zhuge Liang play his part.


    Liu Bei only did one thing, holding the heart of his civil and military officials to make all the people loyal to him. Under this premise, Liu Bei did not worry about Zhuge Liang at all, and let Zhuge Liang exert his talents to the full.


    Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Lord, in the name of Liu Qi, we now announce that we do not agree with Liu Xiu''s Jingzhou shepherd. At the same time, Liu Qi was appointed as the herdsman of Jingzhou. "


    Liu Bei said, "is that ok?"


    Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "first stand on your own and fight against Liu Xiu, and then do so The situation in Jingzhou is beyond Liu Xiu''s control. We will negotiate with Liu Xiu again to divide Jingzhou. It is very difficult to overthrow Liu Xiu in one fell swoop if we want to attack Xiangyang now. Therefore, it can only be ruled by temporary division. Otherwise, once there is a real civil war, Cao Cao and Sun Quan can only be taken advantage of. "


    Liu Bei a burst of tongue, with emotion: "the strategist''s plan, ready to admire."


    He was surprised. He didn''t expect that Zhuge Liang had foreseen the situation after Liu Biao''s death, and had made arrangements early.


    Zhuge Liang said modestly, "my Lord, I praise you falsely."


    Liu Bei shakes his head. In Liu Bei''s opinion, Zhuge Liang is just like heaven and man. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang played for him, which enabled him to rise rapidly.


    The next morning, a notice came out of Xinye.


    Liu Qi established himself as a herdsman in Jingzhou. He didn''t accept Liu Xiu''s decision and ruled by Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 263

    At the foot of lumen mountain, Xu Shu''s residence.


    At this time, Xu Shu still lived with his mother.


    Every day, Xu Shu was very free. He read books, carried water, and practiced martial arts in his spare time. The time of the day was passed like this. On such a day, Xu Shu felt nothing, but Xu''s mother felt that it was not a good way for her son to stay at home all day and not become an official. She had to become an official.


    When Xu''s mother heard that Liu Xiu had returned to Xiangyang, she encouraged Xu Shu to visit him.


    But Xu Shu didn''t listen at all.


    This situation makes Xu''s mother very angry.


    However, the son is the flesh that falls from his body. He can''t beat him or scold him. He can only grind it slowly. I hope Xu Shu can go to Xiangyang to walk around.


    Unfortunately, it still has no effect.


    In the end, Xu''s mother simply gave up, no longer persuade, can only let it go.


    Xu Shu''s ear was clear, and everything was still the same.


    He did what he should do without changing his mind.


    In the yard, Xu Shu is practicing his sword.


    Xu Shu was a knight errant with excellent swordsmanship in those years. Although his temperament has undergone tremendous changes in these years, his martial arts have not fallen behind and he has been practicing martial arts.


    On one side, Xu''s mother is washing clothes.


    Xu''s mother looked at Xu Shu, shook her head and looked out of the yard.


    Every day when washing clothes, she habitually looks outside, maybe someone will come. She looked, the official road outside was still empty.


    However, the moment she took back her eyes, the light from the corner of her eyes swept to the corner of the official road.


    Someone''s coming!


    Xu''s mother looked up again and was surprised.


    "Yuanzhi, come on, come on, young master Xiu is here."


    After Xu''s mother saw it clearly, her face was filled with joy, and her eyes were full of excitement. She quickly collected the clothes in the bucket, and then moved the straw stump to put in the yard. She looked at Xu Shu and said solemnly, "Yuanzhi, this time, I''ll talk with xiugongzi. My mother will go back to the house and I won''t disturb you."


    Xu Shu stopped to dance his sword and said, "mother, young master Xiu is here. You can do whatever you want. There''s no need to avoid it."


    "No, how can that work? You talk about it. "


    Without any hesitation, mother Xu went back to the house with the bucket. But she sat by the door, listening to what was going on outside. After a while, the sound of footsteps came to the gate of the yard.


    "Xiyuyu!"


    Horse neighing, Liu Xiu with Deng AI, once again came to the yard.


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "brother Yuanzhi, I haven''t seen you for a long time."


    Xu Shu said with a smile, "goodbye, Mr. Xiu. It''s more elegant."


    "It used to be like walking on thin ice, but now it''s still like walking on thin ice," Liu said He glanced, didn''t find Xu Shu''s mother, asked: "aunt? Why didn''t you see anyone? "


    Xu Shu shouts: "Niang, is young master Xiu looking for you?"


    After hearing this, Xu''s mother came out with a smile on her face.


    Liu Xiuxing saluted, then waved his hand, and Deng AI handed over some silk and satin he had brought this time. Xu''s mother thanks and brings the gift back to the house.


    After pouring tea for Liu Xiu, Xu''s mother went back to her room.


    Liu Xiu sat down with a straw stump and said, "Yuanzhi, this time I came here, I invited Yuanzhi to become an official in advance. The situation has changed. I''m afraid it''s difficult to go on with the agreement with Yuanzhi. "


    In the past, when Liu Xiu went to you County, he made an agreement with Xu Shu to take Yuzhang County, and then asked Xu Shu to become an official.


    Now, Liu Xiu is in charge of Jingzhou. In the next time, he is likely to deal with the internal affairs of Jingzhou and quell the internal troubles of Jingzhou. He has no time to manage the war in Yuzhang county.


    Even Liu Xiu''s front may shrink.


    Therefore, Liu Xiu made a special trip to visit Xu Shu and wanted to invite him to become an official.


    Xu Shu smiles a little and says with a straight face: "I know about xiugongzi taking over Jingzhou. But even though he took over Jingzhou, the situation is very bad


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "because of this, I came to ask Yuan Zhi to help me. I need your help now. Although the current crisis in Jingzhou, but Jingzhou is bigger than Yuzhang County platform. I believe that Jingzhou platform can give you a space to display your talents. "


    Xu Shu was no longer reserved. He understood that the current situation was not optimistic. He stood up, folded his hands, bowed and said, "Xu Shu, meet the Lord."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Yuanzhi, please get up. I need Yuanzhi''s help. It''s like a tiger."


    In the room, Xu''s mother heard the conversation between Liu Xiu and Xu Shu, and her cheeks stretched out. The corner of her eyes narrowed into a crescent, and the wrinkles in the corner of her eyes expanded.


    My son has finally become an official, which is a great thing.


    Xu Shu said: "Lord, let''s talk about the situation in Jingzhou."Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "a few days ago, my father was buried in the earth. When I was buried before, I ordered the prefects of the counties to come back to mourn. But only Changsha, Lingling and Jiangxia prefectures came back to mourn. The prefects of Wuling and Nanjun did not come to mourn. Even the eldest brother did not come back. Today''s situation is not optimistic. "


    Liu Xiu said: "now there are Cao Cao in the north, Liu Bei and big brother in Xinye, Wuling county and Nanjun county are internal troubles, and Jiangdong County in the East is internal troubles and external troubles."


    After hearing this, Xu Shu also showed a dignified look in his eyes.


    It is really puzzling that the prefects of Wuling and Nanjun do not obey the orders.


    Xu Shu asked: "Lord, did not come to the county, what reaction?"


    "Not for the time being!"


    Liu Xiu shook his head. He was ready for war in his heart.


    If we really want to go to war, we can only go to war and take it back one by one.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside the yard.


    A soldier riding a horse, quickly came to the gate of the yard, he quickly entered the yard, knelt down on one knee, reported: "my Lord, don''t drive, please go back to the prefecture immediately, something happened in Jingzhou."


    "What''s the matter?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes also showed a trace of dignity.


    I''m afraid it''s not easy for the Iraqis to send someone directly to ask for help and say it''s a big deal.


    The soldier said, "I don''t say Liu Qi is wrong!"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Liu Qi rebelled, or Liu Bei rebelled instead of Liu Qi. Liu Bei did not obey Liu Xiu.


    "Yuanzhi, we''ll go back to the city immediately."


    Liu Xiu turned to look into the room and said, "aunt, I still have something to deal with. Now I will go back to the city with Yuanzhi. In a hurry, please forgive me. "


    Xu''s mother came out and said with a smile, "it''s OK. It''s OK. You''re busy." After a pause, he looked at Xu Shu and said, "Yuanzhi, you must work hard to help xiugongzi. Do you understand?"


    Xu Shu said: "my son understands that you should take care of yourself when you are at home alone."


    Xu''s mother nodded happily and waved Xu Shu away.


    Liu Xiu asked the soldiers to walk. He, Xu Shu and Deng AI rode their horses and quickly returned to the city.


    Back to the prefecture, Liu Xiu and his party went straight to the hall.

 Chapter 264

    In the hall, Yi Ji, Kuai Liang, Wen pin, Wang Wei, Wang can and others have all arrived.


    Liu Xiu directly asked the soldiers to place a seat beside Kuai Liang and asked in a deep voice, "what''s the situation now?"


    Yi Ji''s face was dignified, and he said: "Liu Qi established himself as a herdsman of Jingzhou in Xinye, and openly declared that he did not obey the leader of the Lord. Moreover, Liu Qi also said that Jing Sheng''s will was false, and he did not recognize the emperor''s imperial edict. Now that he is rebelling, he has ignited internal troubles in Jingzhou, and the situation is very serious. "


    Wen pin''s eyes were sharp and murderous. He said in a deep voice: "Liu Qi is rebellious and must be exterminated. If not, it is likely that other counties will follow suit. When the time comes, Jingzhou will be in chaos. At the end, the general believed that he should immediately send troops to attack Nanyang County and wipe out Liu Qi. "


    Liu Xiu thought about it, shook his head and said, "don''t worry about sending troops. If we can''t fight Liu Bei directly, it will be Cao Cao and Jiangdong who will benefit. Most importantly, at present, there is no unity within Jingzhou, so it is difficult to start a war. "


    Liu Xiu is very clear about the current situation


    this battle should not be hasty, otherwise, once he makes a mistake, he is likely to fall into endless passivity.


    The most important thing for Liu Qi to be a good boy is not to let him be prepared by himself.


    Liu Xiu said calmly: "I''m afraid there will be news in Nanyang County and Wuling county. Now, let''s find out the actions of Nanjun and Wuling first. Otherwise, our front foot will send troops, and these people will be killed by the back foot. How can we resist? "


    Kuai Yue said: "Lord, we are trying to find out the news."


    "Da! Dada


    A quick step came in from outside the hall.


    The soldiers quickly came in and reported: "Lord Qi, the prefects of Wuling and Nanjun announced that they would honor Liu Qi, only recognize Liu Qi as a herdsman in Jingzhou, but not Lord Qi."


    Brush!


    In an instant, the faces of the people in the hall were dignified.


    There''s something incredible in everyone''s eyes.


    Wuling and Nanjun rebelled and followed Liu Qi. It''s really strange.


    Although Liu Qi is the eldest son, his ability is not outstanding, and there is no intersection with Wuling county and Nanjun county. It''s incredible that these two counties should be subordinated to Liu Qi.


    In any case, this situation is really complicated, making it difficult for Liu Xiu.


    Nanyang County, Nanjun county and Wuling county are contiguous. The three counties are united, and Xiangyang is in the middle of Nanjun county. Although Xiangyang, Zhonglu, Yicheng and other counties are all under the control of Liu Xiu, the Nanjun prefect said to honor Liu Qi, which means that the Nanjun prefect is likely to mobilize troops to attack, leading to Xiangyang''s dilemma.


    People''s eyes became dignified.


    With a smile, Xu Shu said, "although you say that Nanjun, Nanyang and Wuling are rebellious, it is advantageous for the Lord to raise the banner to rebel. At least Liu Qi''s influence has come to the surface. If Nanjun and Wuling suddenly rebel when the Lord attacks Liu Qi, that''s the real killing move. "


    When they heard the speech, they all nodded.


    Wenpin once again said: "Lord, Liu Qi''s situation has almost been exposed. Now, we can mobilize our troops. "


    For Liu Qi, Wen pin is not satisfied with her.


    In wenpin''s view, Liu Qi''s rebellion is also Liu Bei''s encouragement, which must be Liu Bei''s behind the scenes.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "although he knew the news of the other party''s rebellion, his eyes were still black and he didn''t know anything about the other party''s forces and situation. After all, the situation of Liu Bei, Wuling and Nanjun is not clear. The most important thing is that once war begins, the civil war begins. At that time, Cao Cao and Sun Quan will benefit. "


    Liu Xiu was not afraid of fighting Liu Bei.


    However, Liu Xiu did not fight an uncertain battle.


    "Newspaper!"


    A quick step came in again.


    A yamen servant quickly came in and reported: "my Lord, there is a man outside the mansion who calls himself Zhuge Liang, who is Liu Qi''s envoy."


    Hearing the words, everyone looked surprised.


    How dare Zhuge Liang come?


    The corner of Liu Xiu''s mouth rose, and his eyes showed an unexpected look. He is not willing to go to war. Similarly, Liu Qi or Liu Bei is not willing to go to war. No matter what, once it goes to war, it will be unfavorable for both sides. Now Zhuge Liang is here, the war will not happen for the time being, and Liu Xiu has room to turn around.


    Moreover, Zhuge Liang is doomed to suffer losses when he comes to Xiangyang.


    Wenpin said: "Lord, Liu Qi dares to send someone here. Finally, the general suggested that Zhuge Liang be killed first. "


    Wang Wei echoed: "the end will agree with general Wen''s proposal."


    All the generals spoke one after another.


    The civil servants in the hall are thinking about the purpose of Zhuge Liang''s coming. Zhuge Liang''s courage to come alone shows a problem. Zhuge Liang is not afraid of death, or he is not worried about his safety.Liu Xiu said, "first listen to what Zhuge Liang is going to do."


    "ZHUGE Liang, please


    Liu Xiu vetoed the generals'' suggestions and ordered them directly.


    After a while, a white figure slowly stepped into the hall. Zhuge Liang was wearing a silk scarf, a big shirt with a broad collar, and a white feather fan in his hand. He walked with the wind in his clothes. He was handsome and heartbreaking.


    When Zhuge Liang saw Liu Xiu, he arched his hand and said, "I''m Zhuge Liang. I''d like to meet Mr. Xiu."


    He called himself xiugongzi, and obviously did not recognize Liu Xiu''s official position as Jingzhou shepherd.


    Liu Xiu laughed, as if he didn''t hear the voice out of his words, and said, "what''s the matter with Kong Ming going south to Xiangyang? Is it because Liu Bei is short of food again and needs the support of Jingzhou? "


    Zhuge Liang said confidently: "thank you for your concern. My Lord has enough food and grass, and there is no shortage of food."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "it seems that Liu Bei doesn''t need to ask for help."


    Zhuge Liang didn''t seem to recognize the sarcasm in his words. His tone was very calm, and he said: "my Lord has never asked for others. I thank you for your concern."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "please sit down!"


    "Thank you, Mr. Xiu!"


    Zhuge Liang bowed down to thank him, and then waited for the soldiers to arrange the seats and take a seat in the hall.


    Zhuge Liang looked at Xu Shu in surprise.


    When he went to Xinye, he once inquired about Xu Shu. At that time, Xu Shu was still living in seclusion in lumen mountain. I didn''t expect that Xu Shu had already become an official when he went south to Xiangyang this time.


    According to Zhuge Liang''s understanding, there are Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Ma Liang, etc. under Liu Xiu''s command. In addition to Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and others, Liu Xiu''s advisers have been quite solid.


    In Zhuge Liang''s view, Liu Xiu''s only regret is the lack of peerless generals.


    Under Liu Bei''s command, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Chen Zhi and others are all peerless generals, all of whom can be independent. However, under Liu Xiu''s command, Wen pin Zuo was a general. Although Wen pin''s ability to lead the troops was better than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, his military strength was much weaker.


    As for the rest, Zhuge Liang thinks that Huang Zhong is a veteran, not to worry about; Huang Hu is a powerful general, but he is too simple and honest.


    Under Liu Xiu''s command, the general is very weak.


    Liu Xiu asked, "what is the purpose of Kong Ming''s coming to Xiangyang?"


    Zhuge Liang replied: "the purpose of Liang''s return to his hometown is very simple, that is, he wants Prince Xiu to recognize the status of Prince Qi. Jingzhou respects two masters and governs by division. "


    "Bold!"


    Wenpin stood up and glared angrily.


    Divide and rule!


    Respect the two masters!


    It''s a joke. Jingzhou can''t be divided.

 Chapter 265

    Wenpin said: "Lord, I beg you to kill Zhuge Liang, and then use his head to attack Nanyang County." In wenpin''s mind, he can''t wait to kill Zhuge Liang first. Go north to Xinye and defeat Liu Bei.


    At that time, see how arrogant Liu Bei is.


    Zhuge Liang looked very calm and said slowly, "general Wen, whether you want to kill me or not depends on the consideration of young master Xiu. If you do that, you''ll win. I don''t think you can kill me. "


    Strong self-confidence, and even ignored wenpin.


    This attitude made Wen pin even more angry.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "general Zhongye, the visitor is a guest. Don''t be rude to Kong Ming."


    Wen pin snorted and sat down. Wenpin doesn''t like Liu Bei at all. In his opinion, Liu Bei has a different intention to seize Jingzhou. Moreover, he had a conflict with Zhang Fei in Xinye and was even more hostile to Liu Bei''s three brothers.


    Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said, "young master Xiu, there is internal strife in Jingzhou, and Cao Cao and Sun Quan are the only ones who will benefit in the end. At that time, all the achievements of xiugongzi in Yuzhang county will be lost, and the Lord will also face the attack of Cao Cao, which is unfavorable for both sides. "


    Xu Shu said with a smile, "Kong Ming, if it''s consumed, who will be dragged to death first?"


    When he opened his mouth, Zhugeliang''s look changed slightly.


    Once the war between the two sides becomes a war of attrition, or even a protracted war, it will be very unfavorable for Liu Bei. Even if Wuling county and Nanjun county support, it is difficult to achieve the effect.


    After all, Liu Xiu inherited Jingzhou, with a deeper foundation and great righteousness.


    Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Yuanzhi is really frightening. Once my master is killed. At that time, the days of young master Xiu will not be much better? Let alone Cao Cao going south, even if Sun Quan killed him, he could not resist. At that time, young master Xiu will be defeated. "


    Xu Shu said: "if you are small and broad, you may not fail. Besides, Sun Quan is not a monster, not something that can''t be defeated. At the beginning, young master Xiu did not have many troops, but he also defeated Zhou Yu and Tai Shici. "


    Zhuge Liang said: "today is different from the past. Sun Quan lost once and suffered a great loss. He will never underestimate the enemy again. It is impossible to defeat Sun Quan easily. "


    Two people you come and I go, a tit for tat.


    However, it is hard to win.


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s impossible for Kong Ming to ask me to admit Liu Qi''s Jingzhou shepherd. This is the most fundamental bottom line and should not be trampled on. If you think you can threaten me with the support of Wuling county and Nanjun County, you are wrong. It''s not difficult to beat them. If I go my own way and go straight to Xinye, Liu Bei will not be able to support me. "


    Zhuge Liang said: "I believe that master Xiu is not a rash person. So I don''t think that young master Xiu will do anything to harm others. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Kong Ming, I have an idea when I hear that you are here."


    "What do you think?" Zhuge Liang asked.


    Liu Xiu said, "kill you and get rid of Liu Bei''s think tank. Liu Bei is a great man in the world with outstanding ability, but he has a great shortcoming, that is, lack of counselors. The reason why Liu Bei is able to rise is also because you help him plan. As long as I kill you, Liu Bei will lose his eyes and it''s hard to see the road ahead. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "without you, are Liu Bei and Liu Qi still suffering? In my eyes, as long as I kill you, it has solved the biggest problem of this war. In my opinion, the rebellion between Nanjun and Wuling county is also your reason


    The cold and murderous spirit of the silk, diffuse out.


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, there was a cold light.


    Zhuge Liang was surprised. He didn''t expect Liu Xiu to have such a plan. He even judged that he sent someone to persuade the prefects of Nanjun and Wuling.


    Zhuge Liang felt that Liu Xiu''s consideration was not without handling. Once Liu Bei lost him, he lost his eyes. If Liu Xiu doesn''t play according to common sense, the situation is really dangerous.


    However, Zhuge Liang said, "since the young master Xiuzi has put forward it, there is naturally a more appropriate way to deal with it."


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "there is indeed room for turning around, but the premise is that Liu Qi revokes Jingzhou to respect the two masters. Liu Qi can only be the prefect of Nanyang County, and must obey the arrangement of his official."


    After hearing this, Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "the bottom line of master Xiu is also the fundamental principle of master Qi. Indeed, even if master Xiu killed me, the whole army of Wuling County, Nanjun county and even Xinye county was ready to go. Once I was killed, I would go to Xiangyang immediately and start a war. "


    Zhuge Liang said, "it''s not worth killing me. Moreover, Mr. Xiu should understand that the forces of Nanjun, Wujun and Nanyang are already quite strong. With such strength, it is feasible for young master Qi to rule by dividing the land. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "it seems that Kong Ming didn''t realize Liu Bei''s situation."


    "What situation?" Zhuge Liang asked.


    Liu Xiu said: "with my strength, we can easily calm the war in Wuling county and Nanjun County, so Liu Bei''s so-called strength in this war is not enough to be afraid of."Zhuge Liang said, "where is the Lord''s army in Xinye?"


    Liu Xiu said: "Kong Ming, do you really think Liu Bei''s soldiers can have combat effectiveness? I gave Liu Bei 100000 stone grain. Is it really so generous? Kongming, Kongming, whenever you are so naive, you really think that there will be pie in the sky. "


    "Kick! Kick


    Zhuge Liang stepped back two steps in a row, his eyes startled.


    Is there a problem with food?


    Zhuge Liang did not even dare to think about this problem, because Liu Bei''s soldiers used the food sent by Huang and Pang families. If there is a problem with grain, the situation in Xinye will be very difficult.


    However, Zhuge Liang soon calmed down and said in a deep voice, "master Xiu, why cheat me like this?"


    "You think I will lie," Liu said


    Zhuge Liang was silent and his eyes were dignified. If there is a problem with the 100000 grain sent by the Huang family and Pang family, all the soldiers in the army have been recruited.


    All of a sudden, Zhuge Liang found the situation reversed.


    Before that, Liu Bei had Wuling county and Nanjun County as the backing, and he firmly believed that Liu Xiu did not dare to fight, so he took the lead.


    Now Liu Xiu takes advantage of grain as a coercion.


    It''s not good!


    Zhuge Liang''s free and easy face was also covered with a shadow.


    What to do?


    Zhuge Liang thought carefully in his heart.


    Since Liu Xiu dared to say that, he must have a back hand. But in fact, before using the grain, Liu Bei sent someone to inspect the grain, and there was no problem at that time.


    Liu Xiu is so determined now, for a time, Zhuge Liang is hard to weigh.


    Zhuge Liang took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said, "Mr. Xiu, I have to know clearly what''s wrong with food, otherwise I can''t talk about it."


    Instead of answering, Liu Xiu said with a smile, "so the bottom line of Liu Bei or Liu Qi can be changed?"


    Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "everything can be negotiated, can''t it?"


    Up to now, Zhuge Liang has to change his strategy. After all, the situation is different. If there is something wrong with the grain of 100000 stone, once the news is spread, it will be a disaster to Liu Bei.


    Even with the support of Nanjun and Wuling County, it was far from being near the fire. Liu Xiu, in particular, would not allow the grain to be sent to Xinye, so it was very difficult.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "my bottom line and principles remain unchanged. There is only one animal husbandry in Jingzhou. This is the bottom line and can''t be changed. Kong Ming doesn''t have to give me an answer immediately. He''ll go back and think about it first, and then it''s not too late to negotiate. "


    Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said, "goodbye!"


    Immediately, Zhuge Liang turned and walked out of the hall. But when I left, I was not as relaxed as when I came here. On the contrary, I was worried and full of food problems.


    "Wait a minute!"


    Suddenly, Liu Xiu stopped Zhuge Liang.


    Zhuge Liang said, "is there anything else to do, Mr. Xiu?"


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "Zhao Yun is still at home. Kong Ming can go to see Zilong first."


    When Zhuge Liang was shocked, he immediately remembered that Zhao Yun had been staying with Liu Xiu. He arched his hand and said, "please let someone lead the way."


    "Somebody


    Liu Xiu ordered a soldier to come in. Liu Xiu said, "take Mr. Kongming to meet Zhao Yun in the backyard."


    The soldier bowed and left with Zhuge Liang.

 Chapter 266

    The civil and military generals in the hall were surprised to see that the situation had changed.


    Looking at Liu Xiu''s eyes, I admire him even more.


    The situation is changing too fast.


    Wenpin was already convinced. He was no longer eager to fight. He said: "my Lord is wise. I admire him. But when did the Huang and Pang families give food to Liu Bei? "


    All the people were curious when they heard the speech and looked at Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu explained: "about a month ago, Liu Bei came to Jingzhou to borrow food from his father. At that time, his father gave him ten thousand stone grain, which was a drop in the bucket for Liu Bei. Liu Bei had no choice but to find me, so I asked the Huang family and Pang family to provide him with 100000 stones of grain


    Speaking of this, Liu Xiu said with a smile: "at that time, Liu Bei was very happy that the 100000 stone grain was very good. Unfortunately, there was something wrong with the 100000 stone grain."


    When they heard the words, they all had a smile in their hearts.


    In this way, the negotiation with Liu Bei will have room for a turnaround.


    Liu Xiuse said: "although there will be no war for the time being, we must prepare for it and be ready for it. Wenpin, you muster soldiers to prepare. The others do their jobs.


    "Yes


    When they heard the words, they dispersed.


    ¡­¡­


    Backyard, a secluded courtyard.


    Zhao Yun is practicing martial arts, and his dragon gall and silver gun are constantly shaking, turning into stars. In his family, apart from reading books and practicing martial arts, he has nothing else to do.


    In fact, he didn''t want to do anything else.


    "Pa! Bang


    Suddenly, at the gate of the courtyard, there were several applause.


    Zhao Yun''s body suddenly froze when he heard that his reputation was gone, and his face was surprised. He quickly took away the gun and walked up with a happy face, saying: "when did you get to Xiangyang, military adviser?"


    Zhuge Liang replied, "I just arrived today."


    Zhao Yun said: "this time, the military adviser is to take me back?"


    Zhuge Liang was silent and said: "this time, I really want to take Zilong back. The Lord is in Xinye, and he is also very concerned about Zilong. "


    Zhao Yun happy way: "let Lord trouble."


    Zhao Yun said: "wait a moment. I''m going to pack up and leave with the military adviser." At Liu Xiu''s side, Zhao Yun helped Liu Xiu resolve the crisis twice. He didn''t owe Liu Xiu anything, so it was very simple to leave.


    Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart, reached out to stop Zhao Yun, and said: "Zilong, don''t worry. I''ve only arrived in Xiangyang today, and I have to negotiate with Liu Xiu. During this period, Qu Zilong was appointed to stay in the prefecture for the time being. When this negotiation is over, I will take Zilong and leave. "


    Zhao Yun nodded, and his heart was quite stable.


    Zhuge Liang changed his mind and asked, "Zilong is in the prefecture. Do you know about Liu Biao''s death?"


    "Some, but not all."


    Zhao Yun nodded, with no intention of hiding.


    Zhuge Liang was pleased and said, "Zilong, tell me about it. So far, I don''t know the inside story." Now that Liu Xiu is in control of the situation, Zhuge Liang wants to find the message to turn the situation around.


    If Liu Biao''s death can be used, Liu Xiu can be coerced.


    Zhao Yun thought about it and said slowly, "that night, Cai Mao and his private soldiers surrounded the prefecture and then killed Liu Biao in his study. People present at that time included Liu Biao, Liu Xiu, Deng AI, Liu Cong and Cai Shi, as well as Cai Mao and his soldiers. When I arrived, Liu Cong and Cai Shi had already died. "


    "Liu Biao was not injured under Deng AI''s protection, but Deng AI was in danger because he was bathed in blood."


    "Even Liu Xiu was besieged by Cai Mao''s people and was in a desperate situation."


    "After I killed him, I relieved Liu Xiu''s pressure. If I were a little late, Liu Xiu might have died. After I arrived, wenpin also led the soldiers to kill, the situation was controlled, and Cai Mao was also arrested. "


    "This is the general situation."


    Zhao Yun didn''t hide what he knew.


    Zhuge Liang shook his head and sighed. Such a message is of little value. It''s just that if Zhao Yun was a little bit late and let Liu Xiu die in it, that would be great.


    Unfortunately


    Zhuge Liang asked, "do you know what happened to the death of Liu Cong and Cai Shi?"


    Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "I don''t know."


    Zhuge Liang sighed, but also helpless.


    It seems that it is still difficult to write about Liu Biao''s death.


    Zhuge Liang changed his words and said, "Zilong, I have wronged you for the time being. I will negotiate with Liu Xiu again soon. Once it''s over, I''ll take you back to Xinye. "


    "I''m looking forward to the good news from the military division," Zhao said


    Zhuge Liang got up and left, then went back to his inn.


    In the room, Zhuge Liang and Chen Dao sit opposite each other.This time Zhuge Liang went south to Xiangyang, Liu Bei was not at ease, so he asked Chen to escort him. But Chen Dao didn''t go to the prefecture. Chen Dao looked serious and asked, "how''s the situation, military adviser?"


    Zhuge Liang said: "it''s very bad. When talking with Liu Xiu today, he said a shocking news. Liu Xiu said that there was something wrong with the 100000 stone grain presented by the Huang and Pang families. "


    "Ah


    Chen Dao exclaimed with a look of shock in his eyes.


    There is something wrong with the 100000 stone grain. The news is just amazing. Liu Bei''s soldiers are using this batch of grain. If there''s a problem with food, it''s terrible.


    Chen Dao said, "no, I must tell my Lord about it immediately and let him check it again."


    Zhuge Liang asked: "Uncle Zhi, the soldiers in the army are already using this batch of grain. But now, it seems that there are no symptoms. I suspect that Liu Xiu may cheat me. "


    Chen Dao thought about it and said, "if you don''t tell me, I have no impression. When it comes to the problem of grain, I really think of it. During this period of time, there have always been soldiers in the army who are often ill for no reason. They are all diarrhea and diarrhea. Although it does not affect their lives, it seriously affects their combat effectiveness. Because it is not serious, there is no deep research. "


    After hearing this, Zhuge Liang felt a thump in his heart. After thinking about it, Zhuge Liang said, "Shuzhi, send someone to tell the Lord about it."


    "No!"


    Chen Dao stood up and left the room.


    At this moment, Zhuge Liang felt that this mission to Jingzhou was not so smooth.


    In fact, when he was in Xinye, Zhuge Liang thought that this time he was going to Xiangyang, there should be no problem. After all, with Nanjun and Wuling County, he had a great advantage, which was enough to force Liu Xiu to admit Liu Qi''s existence, even let Liu Xiu withdraw from Xiangyang and let Liu Qi and Liu Bei come to Xiangyang. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu still had a big weapon in his hand.


    What to do?


    In Zhuge Liang''s heart, he was also extremely embarrassed.


    Do you really want to give up and let Liu Qi stay under Liu Xiu?


    If we recognize Liu Xiu''s Jingzhou grazing, it means that next, Liu Qi will listen to Liu Xiu''s arrangement in name. Especially after admitting Liu Xiu, he hit Nanjun and Wuling very hard. The most important thing is that if there is a problem with food, then Xinye will have a problem. This is something that must be considered.


    "Don''t be in a hurry, then think about it."


    Zhuge Liang sighed and sat down for a long time, but he still didn''t come up with a solution. He just lay down and closed his eyes.

 Chapter 267

    Liu Xiu came to Zhao Yun''s yard. When he saw Zhao Yun, he looked haggard.


    Liu Xiu said, "Zilong, have you seen Kongming?"


    Zhao Yun nodded, but did not speak the idea, mood is also a little low.


    Originally, Liu Xiu wanted to talk about Liu Bei with Zhao Yun again, but when he saw Zhao Yun''s expression, he didn''t speak again. After comforting Zhao Yun for a few words, he went back to his yard.


    The next day, early in the morning.


    After Liu Xiuchen finished his practice, just after breakfast, the attendant came to report Zhuge Liang''s visit.


    Liu Xiu asked people to invite Zhuge Liang to the hall and talk in the hall.


    Liu Xiu said, "Mr. Zhuge, have you considered it?"


    In the face of Zhuge Liang, Liu Xiu didn''t step back in his eyes. Instead, he went straight to the theme as soon as he opened his mouth. This time I talked with Zhuge Liang for the benefit of Jingzhou. It is impossible for Zhuge Liang to gain the upper hand.


    Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Xiu, I don''t think it''s a problem about the co owners of Jingzhou. Jingzhou can be jointly owned, which is also of great benefit to xiugongzi. "


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he couldn''t help laughing and said, "Kong Ming, what''s my advantage?"


    Zhuge Liang said: "first, Jingzhou will not have civil strife, and will not be invaded by the outside world; second, master Qi and master Xiu will join hands to resist foreign enemies, and their strength will be stronger; third, the people will live and work in peace and contentment."


    Liu Xiu sneered: "Kong Ming, are you being kicked in the head by a donkey, or is Zhuge Liang I know different from you. How can it come out of your mouth if you have no head or brain like this? "


    Tricky and merciless words hit Zhuge Liang.


    Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart. It seemed that it was impossible for Liu Xiu to admit it.


    Zhuge Liang changed his words and said: "if you want to let Mr. Qi recognize your position, Mr. Xiu must allocate more grain to support Xinye and solve its dilemma."


    Liu xiudao: "Kong Ming, if you were me, would you raise a tiger for trouble? I would rather send troops to fight against Liu Bei and let Jingzhou fall into a certain civil strife than drink poison to quench thirst. I choose to suppress the fight on the surface, but in fact there is a hidden crisis. "


    Having grasped the initiative of the situation, Liu Xiugen was not afraid of Zhuge Liang.


    On the contrary, it is Zhuge Liang who asks for help.


    Zhuge Liang didn''t know how to negotiate for a while. He asked, "what do you plan to do?"


    Liu Xiu said: "first, Liu Qi made a statement admitting that I was a herdsman in Jingzhou; second, Liu Bei left Zhao Yun to stay in Xiangyang and work for me."


    Two conditions changed Zhuge Liang''s face.


    The first condition, Zhuge Liang can still decide, but when it comes to Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang is hard to decide.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "if you can''t make the decision, you can go back to Xinye and tell Liu Bei, or ask Liu Bei to go south to Xiangyang to discuss how to deal with it."


    "In that case, I will send the news back to Xinye for the time being. Please make a decision."


    Zhuge Liang said goodbye immediately and left.


    Liu Xiu said, "come here, please come to discuss the matter."


    Soldiers down, soon, Xu Shu came to the room.


    After a respectful salute, Xu Shu said, "Yuanzhi, Zhuge Liang wants to ask Liu Bei, so Xiangyang is stable in a short time. At this point, we began to act. I''ve made a plan to build a plank road in the open and live in the dark. "


    "How?"


    There was a smile in Xu Shu''s eyes.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "about the negotiation, I will continue to delay and try to let Liu Bei come to Xiangyang. You now, immediately carry out another plan, next, you £¬¡­¡­¡±


    After the plan was finished, Xu Shu''s eyes were shocked. He said with admiration, "the master''s plan is not only to build up the plank road in the open, but also to draw money from the bottom of the pot. Once the plan is successful, Liu Bei''s confidence will disappear completely. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "whether the plan can succeed or not depends on the smooth implementation of the plan."


    Xu Shu said, "it will be successful."


    After that, Xu Shu turned and left the study to carry out Liu Xiu''s plan.


    Liu Xiu said, "come on!"


    "My Lord!"


    A soldier quickly came in and bowed.


    Liu Xiu said, "please Kuai Liang, Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong come to the prefecture for discussion."


    "Yes


    The soldier was ordered to turn and leave.


    Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong have been living in the city, which is easy to control the situation. Liu Xiu sent someone to inform them that they came directly. When Kuai Liang got the news, he came here at the first time.


    In the study, four people sit opposite each other.


    Liu Xiu said: "teacher, Mr. Chengyan and Mr. zirou, I have made a plan for the battle with Liu Qi. Now I need the cooperation of the three gentlemen."


    "How to cooperate?"


    Pound opened his mouth with a look of expectation in his eyes.


    Liu Xiu said: "next, we need three gentlemen to control grain, prevent Jingzhou grain from flowing into Xinye, and cut off Liu Bei''s grain purchasing channels. Without the support of Jingzhou''s grain merchants, without the support of Jingzhou, Liu Bei could not achieve food self-sufficiency only by relying on Nanyang County''s self-sufficiency. "After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "coupled with the blockade of Cao Ren in the north, Liu Bei''s life will be more difficult. At that time, Liu Bei wants to change the situation, and he has no confidence. "


    "Don''t worry, I will do it well," said pound


    After hearing this, Huang Chengyan and Kuai Liang agreed to carry out Liu Xiu''s order.


    After arranging everything, Liu Xiu was relieved.


    From Liu Cong and Cai Mao''s rebellion, to Liu Biao''s being killed, to inheriting Jingzhou, to Liu Qi''s rebellion, and Zhuge Liang''s mission to Xiangyang, Liu Xiu was a little tired.


    A tight nerve, can temporarily slow down.


    However, after a short rest, Liu Xiu went to Lu Meng''s courtyard in person.


    After LV Meng was arrested, he was kept in custody. Seeing Lu Meng, he came to the courtyard. In Lu Meng''s face, there was no anxiety at all. Even during this period, he ate well and slept well, but he grew a little meat.


    Seeing Liu Xiu, LV Meng said, "has master Xiu come to me to solve Cai Mao''s rebellion?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed. When LV Meng was in custody, he knew what happened in the prefecture. It must be that the servants of his family accidentally let slip their words. It seems that they need to be warned.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "it''s settled. Now I''m a herdsman in Jingzhou."


    "Well!"


    Lu Meng''s eyes showed a look of surprise.


    Liu Xiu continued: "Lv Xiaowei followed Sun Quan, just a little Xiaowei. Follow me, I can give you a bigger stage. Therefore, I hope that LV Xiaowei will work for me. "


    Lu Meng shook his head and said, "Liu Xiu, I will not surrender."


    As for Sun Quan, Lu Meng respected Sun Quan from the bottom of his heart. He respected Sun Quan even more and did not want to betray him.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes became colder and colder. He said in a deep voice, "if LV Xiaowei doesn''t want to surrender, I can only kill LV Xiaowei and send your body to Wu County for Sun Quan to deal with. Are you really willing to be killed with your ambition? "


    Lu Meng laughed slowly and said, "I''d rather die than surrender."


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he sighed.


    Under such circumstances, Lu Meng will not surrender.


    Liu Xiu said: "in that case, I can only kill you. LV Xiaowei, it''s not my intention to kill you, but if you insist on dying, I can''t help it. Come on, send captain Lu on the way. "


    Voice fell, two soldiers quickly came in, with a white silk in hand.


    "Eighteen years later, I''m a man again."


    Lu Meng saw the soldiers come in without fear. With the help of the soldiers, he entered the room.


    The roar came from the room.


    A moment later, there was no sound.


    Liu Xiu got up and left without looking back. Liu Xiu doesn''t want to kill such a talented person as LV Meng, but LV Meng doesn''t want to surrender. Liu Xiu can only get rid of this threat. After all, he can''t keep LV Meng all the time.

 Chapter 268

    Five days is fleeting.


    These five days, Liu Xiu did not move, this curtain fell in Zhuge Liang''s eyes, Zhuge Liang''s heart but more anxious. In Zhuge Liang''s view, the more calm Liu Xiu was, the more serious the situation was.


    However, Zhuge Liang can only wait for the news.


    On this day, a man in black and hat came to the inn.


    He went straight to Zhuge Liang''s room and took down his hat.


    It''s Liu Bei.


    Zhuge Liang was surprised and said, "Lord, have you really come to Xiangyang?"


    With a helpless look on his face, Liu Bei said: "the situation is very unstable, so he can only come to Xiangyang. Mr. Chen said that there was a problem with the grain. I went to a lot of people to check the grain and did not diagnose any problem. But after the soldiers in the army ate it, many people did get sick, which can''t be changed. "


    "Later, an old farmer woke me up."


    "All the grains look bright on the outside, but they are actually washed and dried after moldy. It''s clean on the surface, but there''s a lot of poison in it. "


    Liu Bei sighed and said, "Xinye is short of food and can''t buy food. I can only come here in person. Liu Xiu is really vicious. I''m afraid I didn''t have a good heart when I borrowed food. I wanted to use food to weaken the combat effectiveness of my soldiers. "


    Zhuge Liang said: "although Liu Xiu is young, he is as cunning as a fox and hard to deal with. But when you come to Xiangyang, your safety is very important. You must be careful. "


    Liu Bei said confidently, "don''t worry about this. What''s more, Liu Xiu doesn''t dare to do anything about me. Otherwise, once the war starts, Liu Xiu can''t afford the consequences. "


    "Dong! Dong


    Knock on the door, outside the room.


    Chen reported: "military division, we have the latest news."


    "Come in!"


    Chen Dao opened the door and came in. He was surprised when he saw Liu Bei. After saluting Liu Bei, Chen Dao said excitedly, "military strategist, the news of Yuzhang county has come back. The army led by Huang Zhong and Pang Tong has been defeated. Now they have withdrawn to Changsha County and adopted a defensive strategy. Jiangdong army is pressing forward step by step, and has begun to threaten Jingzhou. "


    "Good news!"


    Zhuge Liang''s eyes were full of excitement.


    After Liu Xiu''s failure in the front line, Changsha County was in a hurry, which was a great blow to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Bei also understood the news, which was of great benefit to their negotiation. Liu Bei didn''t take a rest, so he immediately said, "Kong Ming, let''s go. Now let''s go to the prefecture to see Liu Xiu. Just with the help of Yuzhang county''s news and Liu Xiu bargaining


    "Yes


    Zhuge Liang nodded and left the inn with Liu Bei.


    On the way, Zhuge Liang told the news of the previous negotiation, which made Liu Bei have a bottom in his heart.


    After Liu Bei wrote it down in silence, he went to the prefecture and immediately went to see him.


    In the hall, the guest and host are seated.


    Liu xiuduan sat on the top, looked at Liu Bei, and said slowly: "Xuande, we meet again. But this time we met, we were not so friendly. We were already directly hostile. I have known for a long time that Xuande is ambitious. Unexpectedly, as soon as his father died, Xuande can''t wait to let Liu Qi rebel. What Xuande did is disappointing. "


    Liu Bei said with a smile: "Mr. Xiu, Mr. Bei didn''t let Mr. Qi rebel. As a matter of fact, it is precisely because of the great ambition of Mr. Qi that he confronts Mr. Xiu


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "how can I hear that? How can I feel awkward?"


    Liu Bei said, "just get used to it!"


    After a pause, Liu Bei said straight to the point, "Mr. Xiu, I''m here this time. Liu Xiu said," I know! "


    The news of Yuzhang county had already been sent back to Liu Xiu''s desk.


    Liu Bei continued: "now, Jiangdong is pressing closer and closer to Changsha County. Once Jiangdong soldiers enter Changsha, the consequences will be unimaginable. At this time, if Xinye''s army moves southward, I''m afraid xiugongzi''s situation will be even worse. Even if he gets the support of Huang Zu and Han Xuan, it will be very difficult for him to turn the situation around, and he will surely fall into a bitter battle. "


    Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "if so, there is no need to talk about it any more. In order to prove my sincerity, I released Xuande Gong and Kongming, and asked you to go back and deploy your troops. How about we make a decision? "


    Such direct words embarrassed Liu Bei.


    If he really wanted to send troops directly, he would not go south to negotiate. Instead, he would go to war directly.


    Liu Bei continued: "if you go to war, you don''t have a good chance of winning. Why should you be serious? Now you step back and admit the status of Childe Qi. It doesn''t have much influence on you. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "absolutely impossible. That''s the bottom line."


    Liu Bei''s brow wrinkled into a Sichuan character and said in a deep voice, "what''s your requirement, Mr. Xiu?" After all, Liu Bei was not willing to go to war. Liu Xiu did not let go. Liu Bei had no choice but to adjust his direction.


    Liu Xiu said, "I have already talked to Kong Ming before. Zhuge Liang looked nervous and said: "Lord, we are defeated! This negotiation has lost weight. "Liu Bei''s eyes showed a helpless look, did not expect a little careless in Liu Xiu''s calculation. This time, in front of Liu Xiu, Liu Bei couldn''t hold up his confidence.

 Chapter 269

    Prefecture, study.


    Liu Xiu was inspired by the news that he had conquered Jiangling County. At the beginning, Liu Xiu made a plan to arrange Xu Shu to go to Yuzhang County, ask Huang Zhong and Pang Tong to cooperate with the withdrawal of troops, withdraw the army to Changsha County, and then quietly head north, enter Nanjun County, and seize Nanjun County in one fell swoop.


    Huang Zhong''s victory means that Nanjun does not belong to Liu Qi. In addition, Nanjun borders Jiangxia County, and Liu Xiu is backed by Jiangxia county and Changsha County. In an instant, Liu Qi''s power is divided and Nanyang County and Wuling county are separated.


    In this way, Wuling county has become a fish on the chopping board.


    Sitting in the study, Liu Xiu quietly waited for Liu Bei to negotiate.


    With the victory of Nanjun, Liu Xiu has more confidence in this negotiation.


    At the moment, Liu Xiu is more active, with full assurance. On the contrary, Liu Bei''s confidence is even worse. Without the support of grain and the support of Nanjun, the situation is completely reversed.


    "Dong! Dong


    Knock on the door, outside the study.


    "My Lord, Liu Bei wants to see you."


    The voice of the attendant suddenly rang out of the room.


    Liu Xiu said, "please come to the hall. I''ll come later."


    "No!"


    The attendant nodded, turned and left.


    Liu Xiu sat in his study, not worried at all. Up to now, he is not afraid of Liu Bei, even Liu Bei came to beg him. This time, Tieding will let Liu Bei bleed.


    Liu Xiu found a book and read it slowly. He had no intention of going to the hall.


    Liu Bei in the hall, after waiting for a quarter of an hour, Liu Xiu has not come yet. Suddenly, he knew that this time, Liu Xiu must have done it on purpose. Two quarters of an hour later, Liu Xiu still didn''t come.


    Half an hour later, Liu Xiu still did not appear.


    Both Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were upset, but they had no choice but to bear it. Liu Bei''s buttocks were numb. His eyes were anxious and he said in a deep voice: "Kong Ming, this time, what conditions do you think Liu Xiu will put forward?"


    Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "my Lord, I can''t guess my humble position."


    After a pause, Zhuge Liang said, "I suddenly found that I had made a big mistake."


    "What''s wrong?" Liu Bei asked.


    Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and said slowly: "when Nanjun and Wuling County fought against Liu Xiu, they should persuade the Lord to attack Xiangyang and fight against Liu Xiu directly. Considering the reasons of Cao Ren in the north, he wanted to reconcile with Liu Xiu, but he didn''t expect to give Liu Xiu a chance to breathe. Instead, he reversed the situation and formed a stronger situation for Liu Xiu. "


    Liu Bei shook his head and said, "military strategist, your strategy is right. The mistake is that we didn''t expect the 100000 stone grain. It''s my mistake. The strategists'' tactics are all ruined by my little grain. "


    They talked for a moment and then fell silent.


    "Da! Dada


    A steady sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.


    Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and knew that Liu Xiu was coming. They got up at the same time and looked at the gate. In sight, Liu Xiu held his head high and strode in.


    After entering the hall, Liu Xiu said with a smile, "Xuande Gong, brother Kong Ming, I haven''t seen you for a long time. Your style is still the same."


    In a word, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are embarrassed.


    Liu Xiu is now elegant and complacent, but the hearts of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are cold, completely in the middle of the cold winter.


    Liu Xiu sat down and said, "please sit down."


    When Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang sat down, their eyes fell on Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said directly: "I expect that the two of you will come here for the purpose of negotiation. I don''t know. How are you thinking about the conditions you put forward before? "


    With a bitter smile, Liu Bei said: "Mr. Xiu, Mr. Qi is willing to honor you. I''m afraid Liu Bei can''t just hand over Zhao Yun. "


    Liu Xiu said, "since you can''t do it, please go back. Xuande, I''ll tell you the truth. Next, my army will enter Wuling county. In the current situation, I''m afraid the prefect of Wuling county will not resist and will no longer work for Liu Qi. So you should understand the consequences. "


    Zhuge Liang said: "xiugongzi, if Xinye has no imperial uncle to resist Cao''s army, Cao''s army will go south quickly."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "is Kong Ming threatening me? When I first saw Kong Ming in lumen mountain, he had a clear mind and could see the situation clearly. Now when I see Kong Ming again, how can I feel that he can''t see through problems? "


    "Xuande Gong is uncle Huang of the Han Dynasty. Can he surrender to Cao Cao?"


    "If Xuande gave up Xinye, regardless of the people''s life and death, would he still have unparalleled fame?"


    "Moreover, at the beginning, Cao Cao relied heavily on Xuande Gong. In the end, Xuande Gong signed a belt edict, stabbed Cao Cao and left."


    "Cao Cao valued Guan Yu. Unfortunately, Guan Yu left in the end and killed several Cao generals.""Now, can we go back to the beginning?"


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "if Liu Bei is in the hands of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will surely kill Liu Bei for an excuse. As long as uncle Liu didn''t die in Cao Cao''s hands, maybe Cao Cao could take over Guan Yu? "


    "So you said uncle Liu couldn''t resist. Is that a joke? What else can he do if he can''t resist? "


    "If uncle Liu wants to go south to Jingzhou, will I agree?"


    "When uncle Liu goes to Jiangdong, will Jiangdong Sun Quan accept it? When one arrives in Jiangdong, uncle Liu will definitely plan for Jiangdong. Although Sun Quan is young, he is not stupid. If you''re allowed to go, it''s like leading a wolf into the house. "


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were cold and said in a deep voice, "Kong Ming, you should be able to understand these problems."


    When Zhuge Liang heard the speech, he looked even more embarrassed.


    However, Liu Xiu doesn''t intend to let Zhuge Liang go. Since he has become an enemy, Liu Xiu will not be merciful.


    LIU Xiu has sharp eyes and continues to say: "there is one more important thing. If uncle Liu can''t defend Xinye, wenpin is a general under my command, which is enough to defend Xinye."


    "Huang Zhong is a great general, enough to defend Xinye."


    "The counselors under my command are Kuai Yue, Xu Shu, Pang Tong, and so on. They are civil and military officials. They are full of talents."


    "Kongming, do you think I would be afraid of Xinye without Xuande


    Liu xiulang said: "when his father was alive, his generals were unable to exert their greatest abilities. But in my hands, it doesn''t mean it''s still like this. Kong Ming, don''t look at Jingzhou as his father did when he was alive, but look at Jingzhou now. Otherwise, you will make mistakes in every step of your judgment, and you will make mistakes in every step of your chess. "


    Zhuge Liang clenched the feather fan in his hand, with a trace of humiliation in his eyes.


    Once upon a time, he was the son of heaven!


    Once upon a time, he was a talented person in Xiangyang!


    Now, however, he was beaten to pieces by Liu Xiu.


    In Zhuge Liang''s heart, there was a strong sense of powerlessness.


    Even a trace of regret filled my heart. Was it the right decision to be loyal to Liu Bei? But just for a moment, this idea was strangled by Zhuge Liang.


    In Zhuge Liang''s heart, he still firmly believes that only Liu Bei can trust him wholeheartedly and give him enough trust. No matter Liu Xiu, Cao Cao or Sun Quan, they can''t do this.


    Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and said, "master Xiu is right. It''s a dream wave."


    After that, he regained his peace.


    Outstanding bearing, showing all.


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhuge Liang''s changes and knew that Zhuge Liang had experienced setbacks, not only not defeated, but also inspired his fighting spirit, but Liu Xiu was not afraid.


    Under the general situation, even though Zhuge Liang is extremely resourceful, it is difficult to turn the situation around.


    Liu Xiu looked at Liu Bei and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Xuande, have you considered it clearly? Whether to agree to the previous conditions. "


    Liu Bei swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Mr. Xiu, can I think about it for a long time?"


    Now when it comes to Zhao Yun, Liu Bei is hard to choose.


    Once Liu Bei gives up Zhao Yun, the consequences will be unimaginable, because it will affect people''s hearts. Once the hearts of the people are dispersed, it will be difficult for him to gather strength. But if we don''t give up Zhao Yun, his efforts and efforts in Xinye will come to nothing. These years of efforts will be completely lost, which is exactly what Liu Bei can''t bear.


    Liu Bei has never made such a difficult choice since he went through the crusade against Huang Jin.


    In the past, it was a fight of life and death, or a blow. No one forced Liu Bei to give up his subordinates for his power, but Liu Xiu did such a thing.


    Liu Xiu was not worried at all. He said with a smile, "yes, I''ll give you half a day to think about it."


    "Goodbye!"


    Liu Bei stood up and left with Zhuge Liang.

 Chapter 270

    Liu Xiu also got up and went back to the backyard and went straight to Zhao Yun''s yard. On this day, Zhao Yun''s spirit was quite good. He was reading in the yard.


    Seeing Liu Xiu coming, Zhao Yun looked up, lowered his head and said, "sit down!"


    Liu Xiu smiles. It seems that Zhao Yun is really used to it.


    Now, he has the master''s mind to let himself sit down.


    Liu Xiu sat down and looked at Zhao Yun, who was rich and handsome. His heart was also full of expectation. If Zhao Yun can make full use of him, he will have no problem in consolidating Jingzhou. He can even prepare for the attack on Jiangdong.


    It''s just a long way to take Zhao Yun in.


    Liu Xiujing sat down without disturbing.


    About a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Yun put down his book and said with a smile, "young master Xiu is coming to see me today. What''s the matter?"


    Liu Xiu said, "Liu Bei has come to Xiangyang!"


    Zhao Yun looked happy and said, "what''s the Lord doing in Xiangyang?"


    Liu Xiu said: "naturally, it''s negotiation. Zhuge Liang came to Xiangyang to let me recognize Liu Qi as the name of Jingzhou animal husbandry and implement the two masters'' mutual respect in Jingzhou. Unfortunately, Zhuge Liang could not be the master, so Liu Bei also came. Liu Bei is determined that I don''t dare to do anything to him before I come to Xiangyang. I''m really confident. "


    Zhao Yun said: "Mr. Xiu, is the negotiation going well now?"


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s not going well!"


    Zhao Yun said: "who is not smooth?"


    Liu xiudao: "what do you think?"


    Zhao Yun thought for a moment, and then he said, "what''s the problem, my lord?" In the words, Zhao Yun is very worried about Liu Bei''s situation. Rao Shi once asked Liu Bei to stay with Liu Xiu for food, but in the final analysis, Zhao Yun was still interested in Liu Bei, especially he thought that Liu Bei was not Liu Xiu''s opponent, so he asked Liu Bei.


    Liu Xiu did not answer, but changed the subject and said: "naturally, there are a lot of bumps in the negotiation. You don''t have to worry about Zilong. "


    Zhao Yun said: "when Kong Ming came to Xiangyang, he said that Wuling and Nanjun were loyal to childe Qi. But now the Lord is in trouble. Has master Xiu solved the problem? "


    Liu Xiu raised his mouth and said, "Zilong, you are so accurate. Indeed, I have won Nanjun and cut off the connection between Nanyang and Wuling. Now Wuling county is surrounded and will soon fall into my control. "


    In a word, Zhao Yun knows Liu Bei''s dilemma.


    Zhao Yun thought about it and said, "even so, the Lord is not so embarrassed."


    Liu Xiu shrugged and said in a deep voice, "because I ask Liu Bei for you."


    In a word, Zhao Yun was silent.


    During this period of time, Zhao Yun has seen that Liu Xiu attaches great importance to and appreciates him. Even Zhao Yun admired Liu Xiu. However, Liu Bei is very kind to him, and Zhao Yun is not willing to turn his back on Liu Bei.


    Liu Xiu didn''t want to talk more. He stood up and said, "Zilong, it''s your business to be loyal to Liu Bei. But I will show you that Liu Bei will sacrifice you for his power. If it were me, I would never give up on you. Instead, I chose to fight directly. Unfortunately, Liu Bei would not. "


    With that, Liu Xiu turned and left.


    Zhao Yun sat alone in the yard. He picked up the book in his hand and looked through it. But his heart was in a mess and he didn''t want to read any more. With a sigh, Zhao Yun got up and went to the room. He took the silver gun and practiced martial arts in the yard.


    ¡­¡­


    When Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang returned to the inn, they sat in the room and said nothing.


    Chen Dao was also worried when he saw this scene in his room.


    Obviously, the situation is very unfavorable.


    Chen to sighed, no longer disturb Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, out of the room, waiting for the message sent out to reprimand Hou. At this time, we can only expect news from the front line.


    At noon, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang didn''t get any rice and didn''t drink a mouthful of water.


    In the afternoon, a message reached Chen Dao.


    Chen Dao''s face broke down immediately after he received it. He hurried into the room and said, "my Lord, it''s not good. The prefect of Wuling county has now changed his banner and directly declared his support for Liu Xiu. Before Liu Xiu''s army attacked Wuling County, the other side had already raised the flag and surrendered. "


    With these words, Liu Bei''s face broke down.


    The situation is getting worse.


    Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei. He took a deep breath and said, "Lord, I can''t wait any longer. Continue to wait, the situation will become more and more out of control. What should be given up can only be given up. "


    By implication, we can only abandon Zhao Yun, otherwise the situation in Xinye will collapse.


    Liu Bei''s eyes showed a reluctant look, saying: "Kong Ming, once you abandon Zilong, what will Zilong think and what will the soldiers think? I can''t talk about it. I can''t get through that. "


    A strong depression spread in my heart.


    Liu Bei can''t give up his subordinates.Zhuge Liang said: "Lord, no matter what, we can only find an opportunity to explain to Zilong. There is no way to solve the problem of food. In the current situation, I''m afraid the Lord''s forces will be greatly weakened. It will be very difficult to expand our power in the future. "


    "Alas


    Liu Bei sighed, got up and said, "let''s go and see Liu Xiu."


    At this time, Liu Bei''s heart, has made a decision to negotiate with Liu Xiu. Meanwhile, he has decided to give up Zhao Yun. After they got out of the inn, they went to the prefecture. Once they were informed, Liu Xiu came to the hall.


    Liu Xiu met Liu Bei and asked, "Duke Xuande, have you considered it?"


    "Yes, it has been considered."


    Liu Bei nodded, but his face was embarrassed.


    Liu Xiu suddenly laughed and said, "I just received a message that the governor of Wuling county has now issued a notice to honor my son. When the news comes out, the situation is different. Duke Xuande, do you know the news? "


    Liu Bei said without expression: "I already know!"


    Liu Xiu said: "now that you know, you should understand that the conditions are different now."


    "Brush!"


    Liu Bei''s face changed.


    Immediately, Liu Bei still suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "what are the conditions for xiugongzi?"


    Liu Xiu smile, said: "in fact, my conditions are still very simple. Liu Bei''s eyes widened, his hands clenched, and his body could not help shaking.


    Humiliation!


    A strong sense of humiliation has bred in Liu Bei''s heart.


    In his mind, even for a moment, he wanted to overturn the table and fight Liu Xiu directly. However, the thought of his foundation and foundation in Xinye finally suppressed his anger.


    Zhuge Liang sat in the hall, worried that Liu Bei would explode.


    In the end, his concerns proved superfluous.


    Liu Bei took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Xiu, I agreed to your terms, but there was something wrong with the 100000 stone grain before. After the soldiers in our army ate it, many people had physical problems. Therefore, I need to give Jingzhou a certain amount of food to tide over the current difficulties. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "yes, but this time the grain is only 20000 stone. Twenty thousand stone grain is enough for Xuande''s soldiers to spend a month or two. In addition to the previous grain storage, I believe Xuande''s grain is quite a lot. Xuande Gong, what do you think? "


    Liu Bei shook his head and said: "twenty thousand stone grain, too little! At least, 40000 stone grains. "


    Liu Xiu said: "Xuande Gong, 20000 stone grain, the purpose is to make you unable to start a war. If it''s 40000 stone grain, as long as you save money, maybe you can start a war. So it''s impossible. "


    When Liu Bei heard the speech, he secretly scolded Liu Xiu for his cunning.


    Liu Xiu has taken this into consideration. It''s too cunning.


    Liu Bei took a deep breath and said, "yes, I promise you the terms."


    Liu Xiu directly took out a piece of cloth and silk, and then ordered people to take pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He quickly added the condition of giving 20000 stone grain and said, "Xuande, come and have a look at this contract."


    After Liu Bei took it, he quickly glanced at it.


    The general content has not changed.


    First, Liu Qi admitted Liu Xiu''s official position as a herdsman in Jingzhou; second, Zhao Yun belonged to Liu Xiu; third, Liu Xiu gave Liu 20000 stone grain. The rest of the conditions were not added.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Mr. Xuande, Zilong is in your house. You can go to him. In fact, if I ask you to find him, you can also find a reason for yourself to tell Zilong that you are helpless, right? It''s good for you, too. "


    Liu Bei''s face was stiff when he heard the speech.


    He snorted and asked Liu Xiu to call for a servant. Then he went to Zhao Yun''s house.

 Chapter 271

    When Liu Bei went to Zhao Yun''s residence, Zhuge Liang did not follow him. Liu Bei came to the gate of the yard, holding the contract in his hand, but he didn''t know whether he should take this step or move forward.


    Once in, it means that he will give up Zhao Yun.


    At this moment, there are thousands of hesitations in Liu Bei''s heart.


    Just at this time, Zhao Yun saw Liu Bei in the yard. He was very happy and said, "Lord, why are you here? Come on in


    Zhao Yun''s face was full of joy, and he welcomed Liu Bei in.


    However, the more Liu Bei saw Zhao Yun''s happy look on his face, the more he felt depressed and uncomfortable.


    He forced a smile and sat down in the yard.


    Zhao Yun asked, "my Lord, how is the negotiation going?"


    Liu Bei lowered his head slightly and didn''t know how to speak. At the sight of Liu Bei''s expression, Zhao Yun''s heart became cold. What did he understand?


    A moment later, Liu Bei took a deep breath and said, "Zilong, the negotiation is over."


    Zhao Yun said, "what''s the result?"


    Liu Bei handed over the contract and said, "this is the result!"


    Zhao Yun then took a look at it, and then looked at Liu Bei. He couldn''t help sighing, and then fell silent. At this moment Zhao Yun, also do not know how to say.


    Blame Liu Bei?


    Liu Bei, as a human being, should consider the overall situation and the interests of all. He can''t act willfully. Liu Bei had to do so.


    Zhao Yun sighs, can only lament his bad life.


    All this is his bad life.


    Otherwise, it would not have been sold by Liu Bei.


    Liu Bei reached for Zhao Yun''s hand and said, "Zilong, at the beginning, Kong Ming came to negotiate with Liu Xiu. On the one hand, he wanted to realize the co ownership of Jingzhou, on the other hand, he wanted to redeem you."


    "However, it never occurred to anyone that Liu Xiu had built a plank road and secretly won Wuling county and Nanjun county. What''s more, the 100000 stone grain Liu Xiu gave us at the beginning was also the grain washed clean and dried after moldy. "


    "This kind of food will not kill people. Many soldiers have diarrhea and diarrhea, and they can''t gather their fighting capacity. They can''t fight at all."


    "Zilong, you are my general. You should know about Xinye."


    Liu Bei said: "soldiers in Xinye need to consume a lot of food every day. Tens of thousands of people have to eat. If the army is united, there will be no mutiny at all. "


    "Once the mutiny, all the efforts are in vain, all the efforts are in vain."


    "At this juncture, I have no choice, no choice at all."


    "Liu Xiu forced me to come to you to let you down."


    "But Zilong, at this juncture, I believe you can understand me. You and I have known each other for several years, just like brothers. You know me and what I want. I don''t ask for personal prosperity, I just want to be able to revitalize Hanshi. Once you give up your soldiers and Xinye, it means that you will never have a chance to revive the Han Dynasty. "


    Liu Bei almost choked, said: "I have no choice, I can only bear to give up you. Zilong, it''s Liu Bei who is useless. You suffer. Zilong, I promise that once you get through this difficulty, you will be rescued and redeemed. Zilong, it''s Liu Bei''s incompetence that has dragged you down. Please accept my worship. "


    With these words, Liu Bei loosened Zhao Yun''s hand and stood up to push the golden mountain down like a jade pillar, bending down to bow.


    Zhao Yun quickly held Liu Bei and shook his head: "Lord, it doesn''t have to be like this."


    He helped Liu Bei to the death, not to bow his head.


    Liu Bei stubbornly shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Zilong, this ceremony is not for Liu Bei to bow his head. It''s for Liu Bei to kowtow to Zilong on behalf of the Great Han. It''s for Liu Bei to kowtow to Zilong on behalf of the Great Han''s people. Zilong, please accept my worship. "


    Zhao Yun sighed and let go of Liu Bei''s hand.


    He looked at Liu Bei bowing, eyes moist, heart mixed. He knows Liu Bei and his ambition. Even he can understand Liu Bei''s way of doing things, but he is Liu Bei''s subordinate, and he always has the loss and disappointment of being abandoned in his heart.


    Liu Bei saluted and said, "Zilong, please."


    Zhao Yun didn''t say any more. He got up and said, "Lord, wait a moment. Yun will go to find Liu Xiu."


    Liu Bei nodded and sat in the yard waiting.


    When Zhao Yun got out of the yard, a servant told Liu Xiu to wait in the hall. Zhao Yun saw Zhuge Liang in the hall, but he didn''t answer. He went directly to Liu Xiu and said, "master Xiu, please use your seal."


    Liu Xiu nodded and stamped the contract directly.


    "Thank you very much."


    Zhao Yun said thanks, turned around and left.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Zhuge Liang and said, "Kong Ming, Zilong, for Liu Bei, his departure is just the beginning. In the future, such things may happen one after another. Are you ready? "Zhuge Liang clenched the feather fan, and his face was calm and comfortable. He said slowly: "xiugongzi, this time I''m missing food, otherwise this time, you can''t turn the situation around. Next time, you''re not so lucky. "


    Liu Xiu said, "if you take one step, you lose everything. When you plan, don''t you plan for the future? At this point, are you confident or conceited? Kong Ming, don''t believe in your ability too much. "


    When Zhuge Liang heard the speech, he was silent.


    When he set the plan at the beginning, he deduced step by step that he was sure to win.


    So, there''s no way back.


    I didn''t expect that the result of one move''s difference would be so cruel.


    Two people, silent down again.


    After returning to the yard with the contract, Zhao Yun handed it to Liu Bei and solemnly said, "Lord, when the cloud is no longer around you, please take good care of yourself. I hope that Lord can break through a piece of heaven and earth, ZTE Hanshi."


    The words made Liu Bei cry.


    Liu Bei''s body trembled slightly, but his heart was still glad that he was Zhao Yun''s Lord.


    Although he lost this time, he didn''t have a chance to win. As long as Zhao Yun''s heart is still in his hands, he will defeat Liu Xiu and bring Zhao Yun back.


    As long as Zhao Yun''s heart is in his hands, no matter what Liu Xiu does, it will be in vain.


    Liu Bei was a little calm, and then said, "Zilong, you''re in the enemy camp. Remember to protect yourself. Don''t worry. I will take you back. I will. Please believe me


    Zhao Yun nodded, but there was no superfluous words.


    "Zilong, time is pressing. I''ll go first."


    Liu Bei stood up, turned and walked out. When he came to the gate of the yard, suddenly, Zhao Yun''s voice came from behind.


    "Xuande, take care all the way."


    When Zhao Yun finished, he turned around and went to the room.


    Liu Bei''s body froze, his eyes widened, and his hand holding the contract tightened. When he fell to the bottom of the valley, Zhao Yun heard his cry.


    Xuande!


    It''s not the Lord anymore, it''s the name.


    Liu Bei turned to look, but saw that Zhao Yun had returned to the room, and slammed the door.


    Boom!


    In Liu Bei''s mind, it seems to be a bang.


    Looking at the closed door, Liu Bei''s face was disappointed, and even showed a gloomy look. After a long time, Liu Bei regained his peace, holding the contract in his hand, and then went to the hall. Entering the hall, Liu Bei handed over the contract and said, "Mr. Xiu, has the contract come into effect?"


    Liu Xiu said, "it has come into effect, so the title of Xuande Gong can be changed."


    Liu Bei looks old well not wave, bow hand way: "Liu Jingzhou, prepare to return to Xinye immediately, will immediately issue a statement, hope Liu Jingzhou also keep promise, will deliver grain to Xinye as soon as possible."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "don''t worry, Xuande. The grain will be mobilized today and sent to Nanyang County."


    "Thank you very much."


    Liu Bei said thanks and turned to leave.


    Zhuge Liang got up and took a look at Liu Xiu, as if to remember Liu Xiu''s complacency at the moment. Then, he followed Liu Bei and quickly left the prefecture.


    Liu Xiu looked at the figure of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and said in a loud voice: "Xuande Gong and Kongming, I hope you can settle down in Xinye, otherwise the conditions will be more harsh next time."


    In a word, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had a good health.


    There was a pause between them, and then they started to walk out, never looking back.

 Chapter 272

    Three days later, Xinye issued a notice to honor Liu Xiu as a herdsman in Jingzhou and obey Liu Xiu''s arrangement.


    Jingzhou was shocked by the news.


    This news means that the fight between Liu Qi and Liu Xiu ends with Liu Xiu''s victory. Furthermore, it is the contest between Liu Bei and Liu Xiu, with Liu Bei''s defeat and Liu Xiu''s victory as the final result.


    This result quickly spread to Cao Ren''s ears.


    Then, Cao Ren sent people to spread the letter, and then spread it to Cao Cao of Xu county with the fastest speed.


    Sikong mansion, Fuya.


    Cao Cao was sitting directly above, while Xun Yu, Xun you, Jia Xu, Liu Ye, Mao Yu and others were sitting in the hall.


    With a serious face, Cao Cao said: "just received the news from Cao Ren, the situation in Jingzhou has changed dramatically. Originally, Liu Bei supported Liu Qi to fight Liu Xiu and became a herdsman in Jingzhou. Even Wuling county and Nanjun County rebelled and raised the flag against Liu Xiu and supported Liu Qi. But now, Liu Xiuping appointed Nanjun and Wuling County, and Liu Qi also issued a notice to honor Liu Xiu. "


    Cheng Yu stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, "the situation in Jingzhou is changing too fast. Liu Xiu''s methods can be regarded as turning his hands over to cloud and covering his hands with rain. In a twinkling of an eye, the civil strife in Jingzhou was averted. It''s really inconceivable. "


    Xun you''s eyes also showed a look of shock, and said: "Lord, how can this be possible? We have also deduced the situation in Jingzhou that no matter how severe Liu Xiu is, it is impossible to pacify the turmoil in such a short time. It''s incredible. "


    Xun Yu said: "it''s really weird. There may be some information that we don''t have."


    Cao Cao said, "there is no inside information about Liu Xiu''s pacification of Jingzhou. But the only sure thing is that Liu Xiu is indeed a genius. If Liu Biao is guarding Jingzhou, it may be easier for us to attack Jingzhou, because in Jingzhou, Liu Biao is a loose sand. Under Liu Xiu''s administration, Jingzhou united and was not easy to deal with. "


    Cheng Yu said in a deep voice: "it''s not easy to attack Jingzhou. However, the navy is constantly training, and it has gradually entered the normal. I believe that it will soon form combat effectiveness. "


    Cao Cao nodded slightly and said, "Wenhe, Jingzhou, is there any other news?"


    Jia Xu said: "Lord, there is no news at the moment."


    Cao Cao nodded and said, "you are in charge of Jingzhou''s information. You must keep up with the latest information. You can''t be slow. You must be fast. Especially when we are about to use troops in Jingzhou, the information we have is even more important. "


    "No!"


    Jia Xu nodded and sighed.


    According to the news from Xiangyang, Liu Xiu made a big fight in order to arrest LV Meng. Xu Jin was not allowed to go out. As a result, many spies sent by Jia Xu were arrested, so that Xiangyang''s intelligence network was seriously damaged.


    Cao Cao suddenly asked, "Wenruo, is fengxiao better?"


    Referring to Guo Jia, the expressions of all the people present were silent, especially dignified.


    Last year, Cao Cao went north to pacify Wuhuan and exterminate the remaining evils of Yuan Shao. Guo Jia went to battle with Cao Cao. After his class teacher returned to the imperial court, he became seriously ill, getting worse and worse day by day.


    Worried about Guo Jia''s health, Cao Cao sent imperial doctors to Guo Jia for treatment, but there was no effect.


    Xun Yu replied: "Lord, I''m afraid the days of filial piety are not many."


    In a word, Cao Cao''s heart sank.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, outside the hall, a servant quickly ran in and reported: "Sikong, something''s wrong. I just received a message from Guo''s house, and Guo''s commander is critically ill."


    Brush!


    Cao Cao''s face changed greatly and said, "go and see fengxiao."


    Cao Cao worried, with his men, quickly went to Guo Jia''s house.


    All the way to Guojia''s house, the party entered directly.


    In the room, there was already a cry.


    Guo Jia''s wife and children were all in the room, kneeling beside Guo Jia''s bed.


    Seeing that Cao Cao was coming, people made way for him one after another. Cao Cao came to Guo Jia''s side, grabbed Guo Jia''s hand, and called in a low voice, "fengxiao, I''m coming, I''m coming."


    Continuous call, Guo Jia opened his eyes.


    Guo Jia''s face was extremely pale, his lips were even more dry and dark green, and his eyes were a little turbid. There was no bright and bright in the past, and there was no energetic Guo Jia.


    Seeing this scene, Cao Cao''s heart was even more sad.


    "Lord, here you are!"


    Guo Jia called out feebly and said, "I''m sorry that I can''t salute the Lord. Please forgive me." His voice was low and weak, as if he didn''t say a word. It was hard work and extremely difficult.


    Cao Cao was worried and said, "you will be fine and recover. I''ve already sent for the royal doctor. Soon, the royal doctor will come. "


    Guo Jia shook his head and said, "it''s useless. I know my body."When Cao Cao heard the speech, he pursed his lips with a heavy heart. His heart is like a knife. Guo Jia is very important to him. Guo Jia is not greedy for merit and power, but also wise and resourceful. He can formulate strategies and tactics for each war.


    With Guo Jia in his heart, Cao Cao is steadfast.


    Now, Guo Jia is critically ill, and his heart is very heavy.


    Guo Jiashen took a breath, as if he was about to brew. After a moment, he said, "my Lord, I''m going to die. I often hear that birds are going to die, and their songs are sad; people are going to die, and their words are good. When I was dying, I wanted to say something to my Lord. "


    He spoke very hard, and every word he said was passed into Cao Cao''s ears, which made him sad.


    Cao Cao just took Guo Jia''s hand and said, "please speak to me."


    Guo Jia''s right index finger moved slightly, his eyes were slightly narrowed, slowly said: "first, to level the world, first set Bashu."


    "Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Liu Xiu, and Sun Quan in Jiangdong are all in a corner. Although they have advantages in geography, people, and culture, they are not enterprising enough. No matter how they develop, they can''t compete with the Lord."


    "But one thing, once Liu Xiu or Sun Quan came to power in Bashu, he would have a real foundation and the capital to fight in the world. Therefore, it is necessary to decide Bashu before going south to Jingzhou. As long as we control Bashu, the world will be around the corner. But if we want to settle Bashu first, we must first calm Ma Teng and Han Sui, so as to avoid their hindrance to the Lord. "


    Guo Jia''s breathing became more and more urgent.


    Voice is also powerless.


    "I remember, fengxiao, go on."


    Cao Cao''s eyes were moist. He looked at the haggard Guo Jia in a confused mood.


    At this time, Guo Jia was still thinking about his hegemony.


    Guo Jia continued: "second, Liu Xiu is proficient in marching and fighting. To attack Liu Xiu, we must be careful! Be careful! Liu Xiu is as cunning as a fox, and his military tactics are also quite treacherous. If we go to war with Liu Xiu, we must not resort to intrigue. Because you are deceitful, he is even more deceitful. In the end, he is caught by Liu Xiu''s intrigue. "


    "The Lord has a strong army and numerous troops under his command. He attacks directly under the influence of the general situation. Don''t give Liu Xiu a taboo of taking advantage. If Liu Xiu is a magic knife and the sharpest dagger, then the Lord must use the Epee to deal with him. The Epee has no edge, and it''s so skillful that Liu Xiu can''t take advantage of it. "


    At this time, Guo Jia''s eyes had been closed, and her breathing was becoming more and more urgent.


    "Hoo! Whoo! Hoo


    Guo Jia''s breathing is short, but his thinking is more and more clear.


    "Third, the Lord must prevent the alliance between Jiangdong and Jingzhou. Although both Jiangdong and Jingzhou have the intention of annexing each other, they understand that cooperation is beneficial to both sides. Only when they unite can they compete with the Lord. Therefore, the Lord must constantly create contradictions, constantly create conflicts between the two sides, so that they can not unite and give the Lord the opportunity to attack each other. "


    The speed of his speech, more and more hasty, and even the situation of enunciation is not clear.


    Cao Cao was anxious and worried more about Guo Jia''s body. He said, "fengxiao, speak slowly, speak slowly, don''t worry."


    Guo Jia shook his head and said, "no, it''s too late. If you don''t say it again, it won''t be over."


    He took Cao Cao''s hand and continued: "Lord, the fourth is to be king. The Lord unified the north, but there were still many ministers loyal to the emperor. Lord, don''t be greedy for fame, don''t be coaxed by the people below, and call yourself king or emperor. If the Lord wants to accomplish his hegemony, he would rather have a real name than a real name. "


    "As long as the Lord has wiped out the world, everything will come naturally."


    "When the time comes, the Lord will surely have no voice against him with his great contribution. But now, the Lord still needs the son of heaven, the great righteousness, and forbearance, Lord... "


    At this point, Guo Jia choked.


    "Cough! Cough


    He kept coughing as if he couldn''t breathe.


    Cao Cao''s heart, extremely anxious, loud voice: "filial piety, filial piety!"


    Guo Jia suddenly opened his eyes. He held Cao Cao''s hand tightly. His face was ruddy for a moment. He opened his mouth and said in a loud voice: "Lord, I wish I could fight with him in the afterlife. I can''t see with my own eyes that the Lord has wiped out the world. I''m not willing to... "


    At this point, Guo Jia''s voice suddenly stopped, and he took Cao Cao''s hand and released it.


    "Pa!"


    With a light sound, Guo Jia''s hand fell on the bed.


    "Filial piety!"


    Cao Cao roared, two lines of tears fell from his eyes.


    In the room, there was a lot of crying.

 Chapter 273

    Jiangdong, Wuxian Prefecture.


    During this period of time, Sun Quan''s life was quite comfortable because of the recovery of Yuzhang Prefecture and the civil strife in Jingzhou. The only thing that makes Sun Quan dissatisfied is that LV Meng was captured. This is what Sun Quan is most dissatisfied with. However, after the recovery of Yuzhang County, Zhou Yu had led his army to approach Changsha County, which reversed the situation.


    Unfortunately, a few days later, news came back that Liu Qi respected Liu Xiu.


    This news shocked Sun Quan.


    In Sun Quan''s eyes, Liu Bei is a hero. Liu Qi in Xinye must be Liu Bei''s puppet. Therefore, Liu Qi respected Liu Xiu, and in disguise, Liu Bei recognized Liu Xiu''s status.


    When the news of Wuling county and Nanjun county came back, they were also shocked.


    The situation is changing too fast.


    It''s too much to see. I can''t guess at all.


    Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao, Zhu Zhi and others, and said in a deep voice, "Jingzhou is now ruled by Liu Xiu, Duke Zhang, what should we do now?"


    Zhang Zhao said in a deep voice: "Lord, I think we should shake hands with Jingzhou and make peace."


    Sun Quan said: "Liu Xiu is ambitious. It''s not easy to make peace. And now Liu Xiu is in charge of Jingzhou. He is different from Liu Biao. Liu Biao is a dog guarding his home. He hardly takes the initiative to attack Jiangdong. Look at Liu Xiu. When he arrived in you County, he actively planned for Yuzhang county. Now he''s in charge of Jingzhou, and he won''t give up. "


    When Zhang Zhao heard the speech, he couldn''t help sighing.


    Compared with Zhang Zhao, Zhu Zhi was the main combatant. He said in a deep voice: "my Lord, I think it''s better to ask for others than myself. The reality is that Liu Xiuhe doesn''t want to. The best way is to rely on Dudu and others to fight on the front line. At the same time, we should strengthen ties with Cao Jun. Now that Liu Xiu is in power, Cao Jun will feel the pressure. "


    Sun Quan nodded and agreed with Zhu Zhi.


    Sun Quan understood in his heart that Liu Xiu''s appearance on the stage meant that his relationship with Jingzhou had also changed. So he began to adjust his strategy. After discussing with Zhang Zhao, Zhu Zhi and others, Sun Quan arranged for Zhang Zhao and Zhu Zhi to execute, and then got up and went to the back yard.


    When he came to sun Shangxiang''s yard, he was learning embroidery. He went to the yard, sat down beside sun Shangxiang and said slowly, "little sister, Liu Xiu is in charge of Jingzhou."


    "Ah


    With a exclamation, the needle went into the finger.


    Sun Shangxiang stopped. She put her finger in her mouth and chewed it. Then she looked at Sun Quan with no expression on her face and said, "second brother, tell me this. Do you have any plans?"


    After Liu xiuran''s marriage, sun Shangxiang was very disappointed.


    Later, Sun Quan introduced many people to her, but sun Shangxiang refused without exception.


    Until today, Sun Quan suddenly came to her and said that Liu Xiu was in charge of Jingzhou. The news came so suddenly that even sun Shangxiang couldn''t completely accept it for a moment.


    In sun Shangxiang''s cognition, Liu Xiu is Liu Biao''s son. According to Liu Xiu''s identity, it is impossible to inherit Jingzhou. How can he suddenly inherit Jingzhou now?


    Sun Quan saw sun Shangxiang''s doubts and said: "there was a civil strife in Jingzhou. Cai Mao and Liu Cong rebelled and Liu Xiu finally put them out. Liu Biao died of illness, and Liu Xiu inherited Jingzhou. "


    Sun Shangxiang said: "second brother, you haven''t said that. Tell me what are your plans?"


    The words embarrassed Sun Quan.


    Between brother and sister, so direct, let Sun Quan do not know how to go on.


    After a moment''s silence, Sun Quan said, "little sister, if you want to marry Liu Xiu, would you like to?"


    "Ha


    Sun Shangxiang laughed, but his eyes were full of sarcasm.


    At this time, sun Shangxiang said: "the second brother is really precious and forgetful. Have you forgotten? I have married Liu Xiu once. Now, how can we remarry? "


    Sun Quan said: "little sister, second brother is for you."


    Sun Shangxiang sneered again and again, and said, "it''s for my good to be a brother. So, what else can I say? Second brother is really my good second brother. "


    Every sentence is prickly, which makes Sun Quan very uncomfortable.


    Sun Quan brushed his sleeves and said, "little sister, the second brother just mentioned it. I really don''t have any plans. Everything depends on your opinion. You have a good rest. My second brother is gone. "


    With that, Sun Quan turned and left the yard.


    Sun Shangxiang sat in the room with dim eyes. But in her eyes, there were tears. A drop of tears, silent from the eyes down.

    Jingzhou, the prefecture of animal husbandry.


    On this day, Liu Xiu sent Yi Ji, Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong to his study.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Chengyan and said, "Mr. Chengyan, now Liu Bei has been honest. Moreover, the civil strife in Jingzhou has been calmed for the time being. Now, I plan to marry Yueying. "


    This words a, Huang Chengyan''s breathing all slightly hasty rise.


    Finally, to this moment!When I saw Liu Xiu at the beginning, he was still a commoner and had no power. At that time, Huang Chengyan saw the potential of Liu Xiu and did not stop Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying. Now Liu Xiu is famous all over the world. He is a real feudal official in Jingzhou.


    At this age, such achievements are quite rare.


    Liu Xiu will be accompanied by Huang Yueying, the daughter of the Huang family.


    With a smile on his face, Huang Chengyan said, "Zhou Mu plans to marry Yue Ying. I have no opinion. But, what should we do? "


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s just because it''s about marriage that I invited Mr. Ji bo here. Mr. jiber is very proficient in this field. With him, there will be no problem. "


    With these words, Liu Xiu looked at Yi Ji and said, "Mr. Ji Bo, I don''t know the procedure for this big wedding, so I have to work hard for you. It''s up to you to decide when to change the procedure and how to do it. "


    "Yes


    Yi Ji had a direct result and discussed with Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong.


    Three people discuss, Liu Xiu completely became a spectator.


    It took an hour and a half, and finally the time was fixed. At the same time, the date was chosen and the wedding date was set on February 28. After the matter is settled, Huang Chengyan and Huang Yueying leave zhoumu Prefecture and return to lumen mountain for preparation.


    During this period, Liu Xiu never saw Huang Yueying again.


    The news of Liu Xiu''s wedding spread quickly. Liu Xiu as a Jingzhou herdsman married his wife, such a major event, of course, can not be unknown.


    After the news spread, all parties were actively preparing to send people to Xiangyang to celebrate.


    It''s called Daohe. In fact, it''s about Jingzhou. At such an opportunity, only when you go to Xiangyang to celebrate, can you look around in Xiangyang and even Jingzhou, and feel the details of Liu Xiu.


    However, Liu Xiu has already made arrangements for the wedding period.


    On the day of marriage, the wedding is naturally held.


    The next day, Liu Xiu took Huang Yueying back to visit his relatives.


    On the third day, Liu Xiu formally contacted with the officials of the counties and states who came to Xiangyang to celebrate and inspect the soldiers in Jingzhou. It is said that the inspection of soldiers also shows the strength of Jingzhou and frightens all parties.


    In this respect, it is also the most anticipated thing of all the vassals.


    ¡­¡­


    On February 28, Xiangyang City was full of festivities.


    There is an endless stream of people coming and going to the prefecture.


    All the princes sent people to celebrate, and even the emperor Liu Xie sent his father-in-law Fu wan to Jingzhou to celebrate himself. The envoys sent by Cao Cao were Cheng Yu, who acted on Cao Cao''s behalf; the envoys sent by Sun Quan were Zhang Zhao, who was also the most trusted minister; the envoys sent by Liu Zhang were FA Zheng and Zhang Ren.


    All the people took their seats in the prefecture and contacted each other.


    Liu Xiu, as a bridegroom, went to lumen mountain early with his wedding party. Because lumen mountain is a little far away, Liu Xiu arrived early in the morning, picked up Huang Yueying and carried him to Xiangyang City.


    The team arrived in Xiangyang City and soon returned to the prefecture.


    Under the guidance of the emcee, the two step by step into the already arranged hall, and then came to the hall to stand. Directly above the hall, the people sitting upright are Mr. pound and Mr. Huang Chengyan.


    When Liu Biao died, none of Liu Xiu''s parents was left. Therefore, Liu Xiu chose Pang Degong as the elder of the man, while Huang Chengyan was the elder of the woman.


    The master of ceremonies is Sima Hui. Standing aside, his eyes fall on Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying. With a bright smile on his face, he says in a high voice: "new people come into the hall and worship heaven and earth!"


    With a loud cry, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying began to salute.


    "Two worship high hall!"


    Sima Hui''s clear voice sounded again.


    Pang and Liu saluted again.


    "Husband and wife worship each other!"


    There was a faint smile in Sima Hui''s voice.


    Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying saluted each other again.


    "Into the bridal chamber!"


    With Sima Hui''s cry, the hall immediately burst into laughter. They gathered around and took Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying to the bridal chamber they had already prepared.

 Chapter 274

    In the happy wedding room, Liu Xiu, under the guidance of the emcee, carries out a series of etiquette, and finally ends his interaction with the bride Huang Yueying, and then returns to the hall.


    These rituals are very complicated, but Liu Xiu can not refuse, can only implement one by one.


    Fortunately, everything is settled.


    At this time, Liu Xiuyi''s toast. But at the table of Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, the crowd began to roar.


    Huang Zhong, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Ma Liang and others at the next table also began to make noise.


    The whole scene, out of control.


    The people who are doing it no longer regard Liu Xiu as Jingzhou shepherd, just a bridegroom.


    Liu Xiu saw this scene, his cheek twitched gently.


    As a representative of civil servants, Yi Ji took the lead in saying: "Lord, although you are Lord, today you are just the bridegroom in my eyes. So I''m not welcome. "


    After a pause, Eji said: "you have to respect the people at our table, no problem. What to do, we all cooperate. But on this happy day, especially when the Lord holds the beauty home, we can''t just have wine without poetry. My Lord''s poems are very famous. Today, if I don''t write a poem, I''m afraid I can''t pass the pass. "


    Kuai Yue echoed: "it''s reasonable! Lord, you have to write a poem, and you have to adapt to the situation. "


    All the people were waiting for Liu Xiu to write poems.


    Liu Xiu was also impolite. After thinking for a while, he said directly:


    the fairy of the magpie bridge


    Xianyun was clever, flying stars spread hatred, and Yinhan was far away and dark. As soon as the golden wind and the jade dew meet, they will win the innumerable in the world.


    Tender as water, happy as a dream, bear to go back to magpie bridge. If the two love for a long time, and not in the morning and evening.


    Although it is not an ancient poem, the rhythm and the artistic conception in it make everyone moved.


    They all looked at Liu Xiu with admiration in their eyes.


    After a poem, Liu Xiujing finished a table of Pang Degong, Kuai Yue and others.


    Then he went to the next table.


    At the table of Huang Zhong, Xu Shu and others, Huang Zhong, as the representative of the generals, stood up and said in a loud voice: "my Lord, I will be a rude man. I don''t think much about love poems. So at our table, it''s very simple, drinking. You are the bridegroom today. How about three big glasses of wine first? "


    Liu Xiu looked calm and said, "Hansheng, if I remember correctly, you still have a daughter, right?"


    "Yes


    Huang Zhong nodded and answered directly.


    Liu Xiu said: "it''s just the so-called" keep a line in life, so we can meet in the future. ". Now you are making trouble for me. When your daughter gets married, hey, that''s one after another. Han Sheng, learn to be a man. Otherwise, you will have a hard time. When the father is drunk, hum


    Huang Zhong patted his chest and said, "Lord, that''s all for the future. I''ll talk about it later. Now drink first. Today you are the bridegroom. You can''t say no


    Liu Xiuyi waved his hand and said in a loud voice: "Huang Hu, where is your boy?"


    A big roar, Huang Hu way: "Lord, I am here."


    Liu Xiu said, "now, Huang Zhong wants to drink. Come and drink with him."


    Huang Hu replied, "Lord, my father won''t let me drink. Father said. It''s up to you today. He also said, in order to make life easier when I get married in the future, let me not make things difficult for you. But my father would still toast. "


    In a word, it''s cool in Liu Xiu''s heart.


    A pack of jackals, tigers and leopards!


    Liu Xiu didn''t agree, and then he made excuses, and finally he drank a lot of wine. After the toast, Liu Xiu was already drunk and began to bump about when he walked.


    Liu Xiu staggered away, leaving behind a burst of laughter.


    But Liu Xiu went back to his room and woke up. His drinking capacity is very good, but there are many jackals and tigers outside. If he tries to be brave, he will not be able to stand many people. In the end, he will suffer the loss only by himself.


    Therefore, Liu Xiu can only take the method of pretending to be drunk, but he still avoids driving.


    Back in the room, Liu Xiu comes to Huang Yueying''s side, sits down and lifts Huang Yueying''s cover.


    Under the Phoenix''s haze crown, a happy and angry face came into Liu Xiu''s eyes. At the moment, Huang Yueying''s eyes have a trace of shame, that a pair of Jiaorong, stimulate Liu Xiu restless.


    He looked at Huang Yueying and said, "Yueying, it''s late. Let''s go to bed."


    "My husband!"


    Huang Yueying opened her mouth and yelled. Liu Xiu''s whole body was crisp.


    Liu Xiu took Huang Yueying''s shoulder in his hands. Huang Yueying said, "husband, wait a minute."


    "What else?"


    In Liu Xiu''s heart, he couldn''t wait. In this life, he was still a male. Although he had many contacts with Huang Yueying, he never broke through the last level. Now, of course, I can''t help it any more.Huang Yueying shook her head and said, "I have to drink hehe wine."


    Liu Xiu nodded and couldn''t wait to say: "come on, come on, drink quickly."


    "Hezhe wine" is the so-called Jiaobei wine of later generations.


    It means to cut a gourd into two gourds. Each couple takes one for drinking. It''s called hehe. Hehe began in the Zhou Dynasty, because Pao is bitter and hard to eat, so it is bitter wine to hold biding. Newly married couples drink wine together, which not only symbolizes the unity of the two, but also the deep meaning of sharing joys and sorrows.


    After Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying finished drinking, Huang Yueying took the two scoops in her hands, closed her eyes and prayed, then threw them under the bed.


    "Bang Dang!"


    Two ladybugs fall to the ground and roll twice on the ground. Finally, one ladybugs is on the ground and the other ladybugs are on the ground.


    "Harmony of yin and Yang, great joy!"


    A smile appeared on Huang Yueying''s face. Before entering the bridal chamber, Huang Yueying was told by an old lady that she would throw the ladle on the ground after drinking the wine. As long as the two ladles were raised one by one, it would be a harmonious combination of yin and Yang.


    Without waiting for Liu Xiu to speak, Huang Yueying took out a sharp dagger.


    Liu Xiu was startled. He didn''t understand the way. He asked, "Yueying, what is this for?"


    Huang Yueying looked at Liu Xiu angrily and said, "this is the gift to tie hair. Take a bunch of your hair." Liu Xiu nodded and let Huang Yueying cut off a handful of her hair. Then, Huang Yueying took a handful of her hair and wrapped it up in a brocade bag.


    "Hoo


    Huang Yueying sighed. All this was finally accomplished.


    Now, she is really Liu Xiu''s woman.


    Since then, we have shared weal and woe!


    Since then, never give up!


    Since then, all my life!


    Liu Xiu stares at Huang Yueying and his eyes are shining. He stretches his arm and embraces Huang Yueying''s waist. Huang Yueying is a lady from a big family, but she is not a weak woman. Because she often plays with mechanism skills, she is well proportioned, exercises well, and has no weight on her body.


    Liu Xiu gently rubbed, but his mind was full of imagination.


    At this moment, Liu Xiu could no longer suppress the surge of emotion and desire, so he directly kisses him.


    In the happy wedding room, red candles flicker.


    Two figures kept shaking, leaving only the heavy and excited gasping sound, as well as the charming gasping sound.

 Chapter 275

    The next morning, when Liu Xiu woke up, no one came to disturb him.


    In my arms, the beauty nestles up.


    A little sunlight through the window, shining into the room, but also makes the room a little more beautiful atmosphere. He rubbed Huang Yueying''s Satin like skin, and his heart was filled with emotion.


    Finally, he got married!


    Finally, I have real relatives.


    The woman in his arms is the one who will accompany him through his whole life.


    Huang Yueying gave a faint groan and then woke up. When she saw Liu Xiu, her face turned red with shame. She quickly lowered her head and did not dare to face Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    Liu Xiu said with a light smile: "little girl, it''s time to get up. Today, I have to go back to lumen mountain."


    "Somebody


    Liu Xiu called out, and the people who had been waiting outside the house quickly came in. After washing, they put on their clothes again and had breakfast. Under the protection of the soldiers, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying took a carriage to mount lumen.


    When we arrived at the Huang''s home in lumen mountain, there was a rush of excitement.


    When the bride comes back, it''s very grand.


    Liu xiuphen asked the accompanying soldiers to move the prepared gifts into Huang''s house one by one. Then Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying offered tea to Huang Chengyan and his wife.


    After tea, Huang Yueying left with CAI, while Liu Xiu followed Huang Chengyan to his study.


    In the study, they sat down.


    Huang Chengyan looked concerned and said with a smile: "Xiuer, we are a family now. Since then, you and Yueying share weal and woe. Yueying''s temperament is too indifferent, so I hope you take care of her more. "


    Liu Xiu said: "you can rest assured that I will take care of Yueying for the rest of her life and will not let her be wronged."


    Huang Chengyan nodded, and no longer mentioned Huang Yueying.


    As soon as the words changed, Huang Chengyan said, "according to the arrangement, you will inspect the soldiers tomorrow. What are you going to do?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "I have set aside an open space in the western suburb outside the city to review the soldiers. At that time, I will invite all the envoys who come to Xiangyang to attend. "


    Huang Chengyan said: "it must be well arranged and there should be no omissions."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "you can rest assured that there will be no problem."


    Immediately, Huang Chengyan said: "you have stabilized Jingzhou now. What are your plans next? Do you want to start using troops against Jiangdong? "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "no, it''s not time to send troops for the time being."


    Huang Chengyan said, "how do you think about it?"


    Liu Xiu said: "I just took charge of Jingzhou. Although all the counties have been attached, my foundation is still not stable. Therefore, in the next half year, I will start to adjust some officials to control the counties of Jingzhou. At the same time, we should strengthen control over the army. This consideration is my next ruling thinking. "


    After hearing this, Huang Chengyan showed a smile on his face and praised: "when you do things, you can make people feel at ease. When I discussed with Pang Gong yesterday, I was worried that you were young and eager for success, and would immediately lead the army to attack Jiangdong. I didn''t expect that. You''ve already thought about it. You are so calm, I am completely relieved. Jingzhou is your foundation in a short time, and you can''t make any mistakes. "


    Liu Xiu said, "don''t worry. I know how to do it."


    After discussing about Jingzhou, the father and son went out of the study together.


    At noon, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying had lunch at home, and in the afternoon they returned to the prefecture. Back in the house, Huang Yueying went back to the backyard. Liu Xiu was already busy and began to prepare for the inspection of soldiers tomorrow.


    ¡­¡­


    Post station, Zhang Zhao''s residence.


    This time, Zhang Zhao also wanted to see the strength of Jingzhou. But in addition, they also took this opportunity to communicate with the envoys of other vassals.


    Zhang Zhao left his room and went to Cheng Yu''s residence. When he got to the door, the attendant saw that it was Zhang Zhao, waved his hand and said, "Duke Cheng said that Duke Zhang is coming. Please enter directly. Duke Cheng has been waiting for a long time."


    "Thank you very much."


    Zhang Zhao said thanks and went straight in.


    In the room, two guests and host take their seats.


    Zhang Zhao met Cheng Yu and said with a smile, "it seems that Zhong De Gong already knows that I''m coming!"


    Cheng Yu smiles and replies, "I believe Mr. Zibu will not miss this opportunity." When he speaks, he has a strong base and self-confidence, which comes from Cao Cao''s strength.


    Zhang Zhao said, "I''m here to meet Mr. Zhongde because my Lord Sun Quan has admired Sikong for a long time. Last time I met general Cao Ren, I mentioned it to him. Jiangdong is willing to honor Sikong, but no news has been sent back. So let''s ask now. "


    Cheng Yu stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "Mr. Zibu, sun Taishou is willing to honor the imperial court and Sikong. Naturally, Sikong is willing to do so. I''m afraid it will be difficult to achieve the expected goal if it''s just empty talk. "


    Zhang Zhao asked, "what should Zhong De do?"Cheng Yu looked confident and said in a loud voice: "actually, it''s very simple. I heard that there are a lot of sun Taishou''s younger brothers. It''s better to send a close relative to Xu county. In this way, Sikong naturally believed in the sincerity of sun Taishou. What did sun Taishou think? "


    Zhang Zhao''s eyes narrowed.


    Once upon a time, when Sun Quan just inherited Jiangdong, Cao Cao just defeated Yuan Shao. Cao Cao was so high spirited that he once ordered Sun Quan to send hostages, otherwise he would attack Jiangdong. At that time, because of Zhou Yu''s strong opposition, he did not send the hostages, and Sun Quan survived the most difficult period.


    Now that Jiangdong has encountered difficulties and such problems, Zhang Zhao is also hesitant.


    After all, Jingzhou is like a sword, which people dare not ignore.


    Cheng Yu smiles a little and says: "Mr. Zibu, Liu Xiu is young and energetic, and he even intends to expand his territory. He is no gentler than Liu Biao when he is in charge of Jingzhou. Now Jiangdong will face the attack of Jingzhou. Mr. Zibu, you have to think it over. If Sun Quan can''t resist it, he will lose all opportunities. "


    Zhang Zhao quickly regained his peace and said slowly, "I will tell my Lord about this. Please decide. Therefore, we can''t give him a reply for the time being. "


    Cheng Yu said: "so best!"


    Zhang Zhao changed his words and asked, "Duke Cheng, what''s his opinion on Liu Xiu''s inspection of the soldiers?"


    Cheng Yu said with a smile, "what''s your opinion? It''s just that Liu Xiu wants to show off his strength. Let''s follow suit. Why should we think too much? If Liu Xiu is bluffing, that''s interesting. "


    A half true and half false, Zhang Zhao nodded, no further in-depth conversation.


    When Cheng Yu hits a wall here, Zhang Zhao turns around and leaves, and then goes to visit other people. This time, I congratulate Liu xiudao. He has to run for Jiangdong and contact all parties. He has no time to play and rest.


    Next, Zhang Zhao visited Zhuge Liang.


    Zhang zhaoben had the intention of forming an alliance. He wanted Liu Bei and Liu Xiu to have a dispute, and then let Jiangdong win. On the contrary, Zhuge Liang hoped that Jiangdong would give food and equipment support. He also hoped that Jiangdong would attack Liu Xiu head-on and give Liu Bei a chance to breathe.


    As a result, Zhang Zhao almost suffered from internal injury.


    There is no desire to talk about it!


    After talking with Zhuge Liang, Zhang Zhao felt that it was not appropriate to woo Liu Bei, so he left to visit Fazheng and Zhang Ren, Liu Zhang''s envoys.


    Just in front of the law, there is no breakthrough.


    After walking around, Zhang Zhao was exhausted.


    However, there is no harvest.


    Zhang Zhao, holding his tired body, went back to his room, sighing in his heart. What I think in my heart is that I have to rely on myself to keep Jiangdong.

 Chapter 276

    Xiangyang City, western suburb!


    This place is open with a small mound. Tuqiu is a natural grandstand. Liu Xiu, Kuai Yue and their generals are all concentrated on Xiaoqiu mountain. Fu Wan, Cheng Yu, FA Zheng and others also take their seats.


    After everyone took their seats, they waited for Liu Xiu''s order.


    At this moment, Liu Xiu''s strength in the end, you can see some clues.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes swept over the crowd one by one and said in a deep voice: "you, this inspection of soldiers is the first inspection of soldiers after my official took charge of Jingzhou. Please be a witness."


    Fu Wan said with a smile: "Liu Jingzhou is good at the art of war, and the soldiers under his command must be excellent."


    Cheng Yu said, "father-in-law, as the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is true. What''s the matter? I have to see it. It''s a mule, it''s a horse, it''s got to be pulled out. "


    Fu Wan said, "I believe in Liu Jingzhou."


    Two people tit for tat, look at each other''s eyes, have a hostile look.


    Others, such as Zhuge Liang and Zhang Zhao, have a trace of uneasiness in their eyes. The stronger Liu Xiu''s army is, the greater the threat it poses to them. In their hearts, they both hoped that Liu Xiu''s soldiers were not effective enough. If there is a mistake when soldiers perform martial arts, it is really the best.


    Liu Xiu looked at Wen pin and said, "start!"


    At the command, wenpin immediately waved his flag. In an instant, the soldiers who had been prepared at the foot of the mountain began to take action.


    Boom


    The deafening sound came from a distance.


    Hoof!


    The people on the hill understood.


    Even Cheng Yu, Zhuge Liang and others on the hill have noticed the rapidity of the sound of the horse''s hooves.


    Cheng Yu and Zhuge Liang''s eyes are dignified.


    In Jingxiang area, cavalry is a weak point.


    But judging from his voice, Liu Xiu''s cavalry was not weak. If Liu Xiu had a cavalry, the strength of Jingzhou would be different.


    A moment later, a group of cavalry appeared.


    In the eye, horse hooves trample, smoke everywhere, a horse gallop.


    "Da! Da! Dada


    The rapid sound of the horse''s hooves is like rain beating banana, constantly hitting the ground.


    Under the trample of innumerable double horseshoes, the ground seemed unable to bear such force and began to vibrate.


    In the cavalry formation, the leader is Huang Hu.


    At this moment, Huang Hu''s shining armor, galloping, majestic. He held a golden hammer in both hands and ran quickly. When he was less than five feet away from the hill, the two golden hammers in his hands suddenly raised and hit directly in the air.


    "Dang!"


    The huge sound of the earthquake resounded through the air.


    The voice was harsh, and even everyone on the hill felt the great power.


    "Woo!"


    Huang Hu''s legs clamped the horse''s belly and began to slow down the sprint.


    Hundreds of his cavalry also began to speed up.


    At the foot of the hill, the cavalry formation stopped completely and formed a neat formation.


    This scene surprised the viewers.


    When the cavalry charge, it is very difficult to stop. Once the horse stops in a hurry, if it can''t be controlled, it will lead to out of control formation and disorder formation. However, it is shocking that Liu Xiu''s cavalry accomplished such a thing in a very short time.


    Zhuge Liang stared at Huang Hu and asked, "what''s the name of Liu Jingzhou, a general with a drum jar and a gold hammer?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "his name is Huang Hu!"


    After hearing this, Zhuge Liang stopped asking, and his eyes lingered on Huang Hu for a long time before he turned away. Although Zhuge Liang''s martial arts were mediocre, he had strong eyesight. He saw that the yellow tiger was very strong. Such people, at least Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Zhuge Liang restrained his mind, shook his feather fan and watched quietly.


    "Kill


    At the foot of the mountain, the yellow tiger roared.


    "Kill


    "Kill


    The roar of the sky came from the cavalry camp.


    The uniform voice is as sharp and strong as a golden horse.


    People on the hills were shocked to see this scene.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "ladies and gentlemen, how about this cavalry?"


    Zhuge Liang exclaimed: "excellent teacher!"


    Cheng Yu also said: "it''s really elite, but there is still a big gap compared with the tiger and leopard riding under Sikong''s command. On the world''s elite riding, it is Sikong''s tiger and leopard riding. "


    Zhang Zhao praised: "it''s really elite, but the role of this cavalry is not obvious in the water town of Jiangnan. After all, there are too few cavalry fights. At most, it''s used to cover up, but it''s useless. "


    Liu Xiu did not comment. He laughed, waved his hand and said, "ladies and gentlemen, please continue to look down."At this time, Huang Hu led the cavalry to leave quickly.


    Under the hills, peace returned.


    Everyone''s eyes, and quietly waiting.


    A moment later, another sound came from the distance.


    "Bang! Bang


    The sound of regular percussion is constantly coming. As the distance gets closer, the sound becomes more and more thick and magnificent. The people on the mountain looked to the west, and suddenly a group of soldiers rushed out of the West. All the soldiers wear armor, shield in left hand and knife in right hand. The soldiers advanced slowly, beating their shields in a neat and rhythmic way.


    The impact sound is powerful and dreary, but it is breathtaking.


    The soldier appeared and immediately attracted everyone''s attention.


    "Kill


    Near the hill, the general at the front roared.


    The leader is Deng Zhan.


    "Kill


    "Kill


    The sound of neat cry, straight into the sky.


    The sound was like a sharp sword, with unparalleled power to pierce the sky. The sound of gold and iron came into the ears of the audience, which was shocking. Especially after the distance is narrowed, looking down, there are neat soldiers with high morale and neat military appearance, which people dare not despise.


    The team went to the bottom of the hill, then turned to face Liu Xiu''s direction, beating the shield rhythmically.


    It was like a salute. After three taps, Deng Zhan led the soldiers away.


    Liu Xiu watched Deng Zhan''s 1000 sword shield soldiers leave, looking satisfied. Judging from the expressions of all the people watching, at least he achieved his goal.


    Cheng Yu''s eyes, look is particularly dignified.


    The main purpose of his visit to Xiangyang is to inquire about the military situation in Jingzhou.


    Now, seeing that Liu Xiu''s soldiers were so elite, he began to worry about the future attack on Jingzhou. Especially when he thought of Guo Jia''s advice to Cao Cao before he died, Cheng Yu''s heart was even more heavy.


    Zhuge Liang''s expression is also like this, a dignified look.


    In Zhuge Liang''s plan, if Liu Bei wants to rise and compete in the world, he must take Xiangyang and Jingzhou as the temporary foundation. Then, he took the opportunity to plan for Bashu.


    Now, when Zhuge Liang saw Liu Xiu''s situation, he knew that his plan might encounter difficulties.


    If we can''t defeat Liu Xiu, how can we capture Jingzhou.


    Zhuge Liang had no confidence when he thought of the difficulties he faced when he fought with Liu Xiu, and even when he was driven to a desperate situation by Liu Xiu.


    At this moment, Zhuge Liang even had an idea in his mind.


    Liu is easy to shake!


    Zhuge Liang took a deep breath, suppressed the thoughts in his heart, clenched his fist, and gave birth to the idea of not admitting defeat. He studied in the school of Pang Degong. He thought his talent was higher than Pang Tong and Xu Shu. He didn''t even think he was worse than Liu Xiu. Now it''s impossible for him to admit defeat.


    After Zhuge Liang adjusted his mind, his eyes were calm and he continued to watch as a bystander.


    At this time, another group of soldiers came under the hill.


    The speed of this group of soldiers is very slow, and there are only a few people, only a hundred.


    However, with the soldiers there was also a catapult. Every catapult is huge, moving very slowly, not dexterous at all.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were excited when he saw the driving catapult.


    This is Liu Xiu''s big killer.


    On the basis of the earliest catapult, Huang Yueying strengthened and improved the catapult. The arm strength and range of each catapult have been greatly improved, and the bombardment ability is very strong.


    Such a catapult does not use ordinary small stones, at least more than a hundred kilograms of stones. A stone bombarded out, hit on the wall, immediately is a big hole.


    As the catapult drew closer, the envoys of the princes stretched their necks, widened their eyes, and focused on the catapult. They are both good at war and smart in mind. No one knows nothing. When they see the huge catapult, they begin to estimate the range and power of the catapult.


    At the same time, it also began to compare with the weapons owned by its own side.

 Chapter 277

    Zhang Ren, as a general under the command of Liu Zhang, is familiar with all kinds of siege equipment.


    The catapult made by Liu Zhang''s craftsmen is a better one. It can cast 70-80 Jin of stones, but its range is not enough. Because the stones are too heavy, the catapult is very worn when it is used. If it is used continuously, a catapult will be repaired at the end of the day.


    If it''s 30 or 40 Jin stone, it can guarantee the range and greatly reduce the abrasion of the catapult, but the attack power is not enough, so it''s much weaker to bombard the city.


    Liu Xiu''s catapult seems to be a little different.


    Zhang Ren asked: "Liu Jingzhou, what''s the attack power of the catapult at the foot of the mountain? What''s the range? "


    Zhang Ren was greedy for the catapult at the foot of the mountain. As long as there is one such catapult, it can be imitated, and then the same catapult can be made to equip its own army.


    When Zhang opened his mouth, everyone''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu.


    A pair of eyes, with a look of knowledge.


    Liu Xiu replied, "gentlemen, this catapult is improved on the basis of the original one. The minimum stone used is about 100 Jin, and the range is about 150 Zhang. Attack power? If such a catapult wants to break down a city, it''s easy. "


    "According to the results of the test, if such ten catapults attack the city wall unaffected, they can break a gap in the city wall for the soldiers to enter the city within two hours at most."


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, there is endless pride.


    That strong self-confidence shocked everyone present.


    "Hiss! Hiss


    A person hears a speech, can''t help but pour to suck cold air.


    I''m afraid!


    This is horrible!


    If Liu Xiu attacked the city with such a catapult, how could he resist it? It''s a sharp weapon to attack the city. It''s very difficult to resist it.


    With a smile on his face, Zhuge Liang didn''t feel so terrible.


    On the surface, such a catapult is a sharp weapon for siege, but Liu Xiu also said that if it is not affected, what if it is? The situation is different. So Zhuge Liang is not too worried.


    Soon all the catapults were under the hill.


    Under the hill, there are 30 catapults, which are divided into three arrays. The direction of one catapult is aimed at a hillside opposite the hill.


    This hillside is not high. It''s only about 50 feet high. It''s about 160 feet away from Liu Xiu and others. From the position of the catapult, the distance from the hillside is about 150 feet.


    As the person in charge of the catapult, Yuan Ye watched the catapults take their place. His face became serious. Holding a flag in his hand, he ordered: "prepare!"


    At the command, next to each catapult, two soldiers carried a stone weighing 100 Jin, and then put it on the catapult cleanly.


    Yuan Ye roared: "let go!"


    With the sound down, the flag then waved down.


    "Pa! "Pop!"


    The catapult ran quickly, and the lever struck the horizontal axis, making a sound. At the same time, the stones on the 30 catapults have been flying out quickly, and they have been drawing arcs in the air.


    From Liu Xiu''s point of view, you can see thirty black shadows flying through the air, and then you can quickly run forward.


    "Boom!"


    There was a huge sound in the open ground.


    This sound is like thunder on the ground.


    "Boom! Boom


    One after another, the sound of impact, constantly sounded.


    Dense impact sound, people''s hearts are tense up.


    Sitting on the mountain, Liu Xiu, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Ren, Fu Wan and others were extremely nervous. They all stared at the hillside 160 feet away, holding their breath.


    The smoke and dust gradually dispersed.


    Hillside, leakage of the true face.


    At this time, the hillside, as if it had been hit by a meteorite, was pitted. The original protruding top of the mountain seems to have been destroyed. It has been sunken by the thirty big stones.


    Strong impact force, as well as unparalleled destructive power, make everyone nervous.


    They had an impression when they heard what Liu Xiu said. But after witnessing it, I really felt the destructive power.


    Irresistible!


    It''s so strong!


    One by one, such thoughts are born in their hearts.


    Zhang Ren and FA Zheng looked at each other, nodded slightly, and had a consensus in their eyes. Fu Wan saw this scene, the corners of his mouth raised a smile, is also very happy. In Fu Wan''s eyes, the stronger Liu Xiu is, the greater the chance of defeating Cao Cao and the greater the strength of support for the emperor.


    Cheng Yu, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Zhao are already cool in their hearts.Liu Xiu saw everyone''s expression, he did not need any words to stimulate. Facts speak louder than words, which is the best explanation.


    The catapult soldiers at the foot of the mountain soon turned around and left slowly.


    Zhang Ren, with a trace of curiosity in his eyes, asked: "Liu Jingzhou, what else is there after the catapult?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "there''s the last crossbow!"


    "Bowmen!"


    This words, Zhang Ren and everyone''s heart, are inexplicably nervous.


    What''s special about Liu Xiu''s bow and crossbow troops?


    In any battlefield, bows and arrows are indispensable. Bowmen are even big killers that cause casualties and delay attacks. But Liu Xiu''s is not only a bow and arrow soldier, but also a bow and crossbow with stronger lethality than bow and arrow.


    Compared with bows and arrows, bows and crossbows are not flexible enough, expensive and difficult to equip for all soldiers. However, since Liu Xiu is equipped with such a soldier, I''m afraid it''s not easy.


    "The wind


    "The wind


    Suddenly, the roar came from a distance.


    The voice, high pitched and sharp, seemed to bring a blade. When it is introduced into people''s ears, people''s eardrums are subject to bursts of vibration.


    "The wind


    "The wind


    The cry came in a steady stream.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    Neat footsteps, from far to near.


    This situation once again caught everyone''s heart.


    A moment later, a group of soldiers appeared in everyone''s mind.


    This group of soldiers, 50 people in a row, a total of 20 rows. In each row, two soldiers were in a group, one carrying a rhubarb crossbow and the other carrying a crossbow. Each crossbow is five feet long and thicker than the thumb. It is made of fine steel.


    The sharp arrow of the crossbow is shining with cold light.


    This army is the bowmen.


    This crossbow was made by Huang Yueying according to the ancient books of the pre Qin period. Then Liu Xiu asked the craftsman''s workshop to make the first batch of crossbows and arrows according to the drawings.


    Liu Jingzhou''s eyes narrowed to see if it was Liu xiuren who trained him


    With a smile on his mouth, Liu Xiu said: "General Zhang''s eyes are shining. This crossbow soldier is equipped with the rhubarb crossbow recorded in the ancient books of the pre Qin period. This is a thousand crossbow soldiers. Now, please appreciate it. "


    "The wind


    "The wind


    The roar drew nearer and nearer, and soon all the soldiers arrived at the foot of the hill.


    The leader is Huang Zhong, the chief General of the army.


    "Array, prepare."


    Huang Zhong stood in front of the army and gave a loud order.


    In an instant, all the soldiers stopped and quickly put the crossbow on the ground. One by one, the soldiers quickly fell to the ground. They pulled the bowstring, pedaled the crossbow, and then the soldiers next to them filled the crossbow.


    A crossbow made of fine steel, all on the string.


    All the catapults are aimed in the same direction as the catapult bombarded.


    "Shoot the arrow!"


    Huang Zhong roared. In an instant, the bowstring of a crossbow vibrated and hummed. The bows and strings of five hundred crossbows vibrated in unison, forming the first sound wave.


    Then, I saw only one crossbow and arrow breaking through the air. The sharp crossbow and arrow pierced the air, and there was a sharp whistling sound, which was very harsh. It was like streamer in the air.


    "Yes! Yes


    In a flash, all the crossbows and arrows fell 180 feet away.


    Zhang Ren had excellent eyesight. He estimated it in his heart and said, "Liu Jingzhou, the range of the crossbow is about 180 Zhang. There is no doubt about its lethality. This is a very strong crossbow force. Even such a crossbow force can be used to bombard the city walls


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "General Zhang has been praised falsely!"


    In Zhuge Liang''s mind at this time, he was afraid.


    If Liu Bei and Liu Xiu go to war, once they meet Liu Xiu''s catapult and such a crossbow, they will surely suffer a big loss. Now I know. I''m ready to go back, so I won''t be caught off guard.

 Chapter 278

    When Cheng Yu saw the range of the crossbow, his heart sank.


    On the battlefield, if the tiger and leopard cavalry encounter such a crossbow, once the tiger and leopard cavalry can''t disperse quickly, it will be set as a sieve.


    Cheng Yu is not only a counsellor and a minister, but also a military general.


    In Cheng Yu''s mind, he had already predicted that if the rhubarb crossbow cooperated with the short-range shooting of the bow and arrow, it would be enough to make the tiger and leopard ride inaccessible. Even tiger and leopard riders can''t get close, let alone other soldiers. Even in Cheng Yu''s opinion, even the shield could not resist the damage of the crossbow, which was enough to shoot through the shield.


    Even if you can''t shoot through the shield, the powerful impact force is enough to knock the shield upside down and destroy the formation of the shield soldiers.


    Such a bow and crossbow soldier is so cruel that it is enough to frighten the enemy.


    The only drawback is that it is impossible to forge large quantities of crossbows and arrows, because they are too expensive and consume too much financial and material resources. In addition, the flexibility of rhubarb anger is also slightly insufficient.


    Fortunately, rhubarb anger has some shortcomings, otherwise it is really hard to deal with.


    When Zhang Zhao saw it, his heart cooled.


    Seeing the cavalry and the catapult before, the shocking scene had already made Zhang Zhao''s heart beat. Now seeing Liu Xiu''s big yellow crossbow, he was scared out of his wits.


    It''s terrible. Such weapons are terrible. It''s impossible for human beings to resist them.


    If Jiangdong and Jingzhou are fighting, how can they resist such weapons?


    For a moment, Zhang Zhao was frightened.


    Zhang Zhao felt that it was absolutely right to come to Jingzhou to celebrate Liu''s cultivation. Unexpectedly, Jingzhou still had such weapons. After returning to Wu County, we must talk to Sun Quan well and let Sun Quan prepare early, otherwise we will suffer a great loss in the battlefield, and it is imperative to unite with Cao Cao.


    At the foot of the hill, Huang Zhong saw that a round of shooting had been completed. He roared and waved and said, "stop the battle!"


    At the command, the soldiers stood up with the rhubarb crossbow on their shoulders, while the other soldiers quickly picked up the crossbow. Every crossbow of the rhubarb crossbow costs a lot. It is impossible to use it and discard it. It must be recycled.


    Liu Xiu looked at the people on the hill. At this time, they were already complicated.


    Knowing that he had achieved his goal, Liu Xiu said with a smile, "ladies and gentlemen, this inspection of the soldiers is over here. Now, come back to the city with me. This evening, I''ll hold a banquet in the prefecture for you to practice. You can leave by yourself tomorrow morning. "


    They nodded silently, then followed Liu Xiu back to the city without saying a word.


    At night, the lights of the Prefecture are bright.


    In the hall, Liu xiugao sits on the throne.


    At this time, Liu Xiu toasted Zhuge Liang, Cheng Yu, Zhang Zhao and others. It''s just that after the day, no matter what, the atmosphere is always too hot to reach the happy scene, because everyone is worried.


    After a celebration, they left.


    In the hall, only Liu Xiu and his generals were left.


    Liu Xiu''s face was not drunk at all. He ordered his attendants to take away the drink and serve tea. He looked at the people under his command and said in a deep voice: "after this inspection of the soldiers, I expect that they will be able to frighten Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and even make Cao Cao afraid. For us, there is a time for adjustment. In the next six months, we must adjust the counties in Jingzhou to completely control them. "


    Kuai Yue said: "Lord, I''m afraid that if the officials of Jingzhou counties want to be transferred, they will affect the whole body. Such a big move must be cautious. "


    Yi Ji then said: "if I also agree with the different degrees, I should think twice before I act. In particular, the Lord just took charge of Jingzhou, and now is the time to seek stability and transition. No mistakes can be made. Otherwise, one step is wrong and you lose everything. "


    Liu Xiuse said: "to adjust on the basis of stability is fundamental, which is also my principle and bottom line. However, the rebellion of Wuling county and Nanjun county made me realize that if there is no adjustment, if there is any mistake in the future, I am afraid that the counties in Jingzhou will turn over. Therefore, we must make certain adjustments to completely control the counties. "


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, outside the hall, a servant quickly came in and reported: "your honor, Yizhou envoy Fazheng and Zhang Ren asked to see you."


    "Please


    Liu Xiu nodded and ordered him to go down. Immediately, Liu xiudao said: "after you go back, you will think about the things mentioned just now, and we will discuss them later. All right, let''s go back. "


    "No!"


    They all got up and left.


    In the hall, it was quiet.


    After everyone left, Fazheng and Zhang Ren strode in.


    "I''ve met Liu Jingzhou!"


    FA Zheng and Zhang Ren bowed at the same time.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "ladies and gentlemen, please sit down!"


    Fazheng and Zhang Yiren sat down on the right and left. Fazheng did not go around the circle and said straight to the point: "Liu Jingzhou, this time, is an alliance with Liu Jingzhou on behalf of the Lord."Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Xiaozhi, how can Yizhou and Jingzhou form an alliance?" For this matter, it was beyond Liu Xiu''s expectation.


    I didn''t expect that Liu Zhang of Yizhou would propose an alliance, which is really surprising.


    "To form an ally is naturally to keep watch and help each other, attack and defend together."


    Fazheng smiles and puts forward his own opinions.


    After a pause, Fazheng continued: "Yizhou borders Jingzhou. If Jingzhou is threatened, my lord Liu Yizhou is willing to help. Similarly, if Yizhou is threatened and attacked, I hope Liu Jingzhou can send troops to help. This is the alliance between the two sides. "


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, his mind became active.


    Attack and defense help!


    This is a good reason and a good way to enter Yizhou.


    If Yizhou is attacked, Liu Xiu can enter Yizhou with a little effort. Once the army enters Yizhou, there will be a chance to plan Yizhou, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.


    In Liu Xiu''s mind, he had already figured it out in an instant.


    The smile on his face became stronger and stronger, and he said with a smile: "this is a very good proposal. Xiaozhi, you also know that Jingzhou is in a position of four wars. If you make an alliance with Jingzhou, I''m afraid Yizhou will suffer even more. "


    FA Zhengdao said: "Liu Jingzhou has strong strength. I believe that it is easy for Liu Jingzhou to defend Jingzhou. But to make an alliance with Jingzhou, my Lord has another request. "


    "What request?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Fazheng said: "I was shocked to see Liu Jingzhou''s crossbow and catapult today. If Yizhou had such weapons, it would be easier to garrison the city. So I hope that I can buy the design drawings of Liu Jingzhou''s catapult and rhubarb crossbow, and then take them back to make them, so as to enhance Yizhou''s defensive ability. "


    Liu Xiu''s mind sank when he made this request.


    Sure enough, there is a purpose!


    Make an alliance first, then make your own demands.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Xiaozhi, you are Liu Yizhou''s think tank. You should understand the value of rhubarb crossbow and catapult. Can I easily sell such strategic weapons? "


    Fazheng looked calm and didn''t feel embarrassed. He said with a smile, "Liu Jingzhou''s words are naturally reasonable, and I agree with them very much. I just think that any item can be measured by price. There is always a certain exchange standard. It just depends on what conditions the other party needs. So please ask Liu Jingzhou to put forward conditions, and Yizhou is willing to prepare. "


    Liu Xiu stares at FA Zheng and suddenly says, "Mr. Xiaozhi, if I ask Liu Yizhou to offer you in exchange, will Liu Yizhou agree?"


    Brush!


    Fazheng''s face suddenly changed.


    Looking at Liu Xiu, there was a look of examination.


    Zhang Ren zhengse said: "Liu Jingzhou, please be careful!"


    FA Zheng shook his head to Zhang Ren, then looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Jingzhou is joking. FA Zheng is a scholar. He can''t lift his shoulder or hand. He is a weak scholar. It''s not worthwhile for Liu Jingzhou to offer such a condition."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "General Zhang, don''t be angry. Just as Xiaozhi said, I''m just joking. Don''t take it seriously."


    Fazheng continued: "Liu Jingzhou, on behalf of my Lord, I sincerely buy the drawings of the rhubarb crossbow and catapult, so I hope Liu Jingzhou can make an offer for negotiation. Moreover, as an ally, Yizhou''s garrison capability is enhanced, which is also beneficial to Liu Jingzhou, isn''t it? "


    Liu Xiu asked, "Xiaozhi, does Liu Yizhou really want to buy it?"


    "Yes


    Fazheng nodded. If Yizhou is equipped with such weapons. In the future, it will be of great benefit to deal with Zhang Lu or the enemy who attacked Yizhou.


    So, FA is trying to buy it.


    Liu Xiu nodded heavily and said: "since Mr. Xiaozhi said, I''ll give Mr. Xiaozhi a production drawing."


    Fazheng said happily, "what are the conditions?"


    Liu Xiu big sleeve a whisk, heroic said: "look at the filial piety straight of the share, I give free."

 Chapter 279

    Fazheng was completely surprised at Liu Xiu''s words.


    Because Liu Xiu''s reply shocked him so much that he even gave the drawings of the crossbow and catapult in his face. Fazheng doesn''t doubt that Liu Xiu will cheat on the drawings, because when the drawings are taken back, the craftsmen will make them immediately. If they can''t achieve the effect, or they can''t make them, it''s obvious that Liu Xiu has done something wrong.


    At that time, it was Liu Xiu who lost face.


    Since you want to present drawings, it must be complete drawings.


    However, the design drawings of the catapult and the rhubarb crossbow are too expensive. According to Fazheng, the value of these two drawings is at least equal to that of a county, or even larger. It is not too expensive to call them even a city.


    However, Liu Xiu gave it directly, and it was in his face.


    Zhang Ren, sitting beside Fazheng, was also shocked.


    Liu Xiu''s handwriting is too big.


    Is it true that Liu Xiu has a crush on Fazheng and really wants to make it work? But just to move Fazheng, it''s too extravagant to take out such a big hand.


    Unfortunately, Liu Xiu did not explain too much and said, "this matter is settled."


    FA Zheng arched his hand and said, "thank you, Liu Jingzhou."


    I have to say that Liu Xiu''s action really impressed Fazheng very well.


    From Fazheng''s point of view, Liu Xiu is a model of courteous and virtuous corporal.


    "Thank you," Liu said. "After all, Jingzhou and Yizhou are allies." After a pause, Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Ren and asked, "General Zhang, are you a disciple of the gun King Tong Yuan?"


    "Yes


    Zhang Ren nodded and asked, "what does Liu Jingzhou ask about this?"


    Liu Xiu said: "it happens that Zhao Yun, the close disciple of Tong Yuan, is also in my house. General Zhang, do you want to see me? "


    "Of course!"


    Zhang Ren''s heart was excited.


    He was the first disciple of Tong Yuan''s family, and he had learned to go out of the mountain very early. So far, I have never been back, and I don''t know what''s the situation of my mentor Tong Yuan? Zhao Yun is Tong Yuan''s close disciple and must be familiar with him.


    For a moment, Zhang Ren couldn''t wait.


    Liu Xiu said, "come on!"


    Suddenly, a servant quickly came in and bowed.


    Liu Xiu said, "take general Zhang to Zhao Yun''s yard."


    "No!"


    The attendant nodded and left with Zhang Ren.


    In the hall, only Liu Xiu and FA Zheng were left.


    Liu Xiu looked at Fazheng and said slowly, "Xiaozhi, you can consider my previous proposal. What kind of person is your Lord Liu Zhang? You should know what kind of person Zhang Lu is in Hanzhong. I don''t think I need to make it clear. It''s very normal for good officials to choose their subjects. "


    Fazheng looked calm and said slowly, "Liu Jingzhou is joking. My lord thinks highly of me. Otherwise, this time, they would not be sent to Jingzhou. "


    Liu Xiu laughs and says, "I won''t say more about my personal situation if I know what''s going on in drinking water."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu asked, "what position does Xiao Zhi hold under Liu Zhang?"


    Fazheng replied, "I''ll be a military adviser for the time being."


    There is a smile in Liu Xiu''s eyes. Today, Fazheng is in his early 30s, and he is still a military adviser after his 30s. It seems that he is not in his prime.


    As a matter of fact, Fazheng was under Liu Zhang''s command and did not receive much attention, because Fazheng did not flatter and disdained to compete with a group of favorite officials around Liu Zhang.


    As a result, he and his good friend Zhang Song are quite depressed, but Zhang Song''s official position is bigger than that of Liu Zhang.


    Liu Xiu knew the situation of Fazheng, but he didn''t point it out. He said: "if Xiaozhi is willing to come to Jingzhou, I''ll appoint you as the prefect at least. Or, Xiaozhi can stay with me and give me advice. "


    Fazheng''s eyes widened. He was more surprised than ever.


    Fazheng and Liu Xiu didn''t have much time to contact each other. This time Liu Xiu got married, they met for the first time, and they didn''t talk much with each other. Liu Xiu paid so much attention that Fazheng was surprised.


    In particular, the direct appointment of a prefect, which is simply extraordinary.


    Fazheng''s breath was very short. A moment later, Fazheng calmed down and said with a smile, "it''s the first time that Liu Jingzhou and I have met. Are you sure that I can be a prefect?"


    Liu Xiu gave a mysterious smile, but did not give a positive answer.


    When Fazheng saw this, he thought to himself, it seems that Liu xiuren is in Jingzhou, and his heart has long been open to the world, and he is also very concerned about the news of Yizhou, otherwise it is impossible to know his situation.


    Liu Xiu said, "Xiaozhi, do you think you can''t even be a prefect?"


    Fazheng said confidently, "natural energy!"


    Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "in that case, there is no doubt. However, Xiaozhi didn''t have to give me an answer immediately. He went back to think about it. For another example, if Xiaozhi has any confidants and friends in Yizhou, he is also a talented person. Liu Xiu also welcomed that Jingzhou does not lack official posts, but talented people. "After hearing this, Fazheng''s mind became more active and felt that Liu Xiuyi had something to say.


    Zhang song, Fazheng''s good friend, is also not reused.


    Two people often chat together, all agree that Liu Zhang can''t keep Yizhou. Now Liu Xiuyi has something to say. Fazheng thinks it''s Zhang song.


    Fazheng changed the topic and continued to talk with Liu Xiu.


    ¡­¡­


    Zhang Ren came to Zhao Yun''s yard under the guidance of his attendants.


    Zhang Ren has no impression of Zhao Yun.


    When Zhao Yun helped Gongsun Zan, Zhang Ren had already gone to Yizhou to work for Liu Yan.


    When Liu Yan died, Liu Zhang became the leader of Yizhou, and Zhang Ren served Liu Zhang. After he joined the army, he never left Sichuan and knew nothing about the outside world. Moreover, today''s Zhao Yun has not yet seven in and seven out to rescue Liu Chan. He is not famous all over the world. He is still a military general with no obvious reputation.


    Therefore, Zhang Ren does not know Zhao Yun.


    He has not seen Zhao Yun, at this moment, standing at the gate of the yard, Zhang Ren''s heart, is also quite uneasy. Zhang Ren entered the courtyard, his eyes fell on the room with the oil lamp on.


    As he passed, he stood outside and knocked on the door.


    Zhao Yun was reading a book. He thought it was Liu Xiu who came again and said, "Mr. Xiu, I''m going to sleep. If there''s anything, I''ll talk about it in the daytime tomorrow."


    Although he is Liu Xiu''s man now, he always has a knot in his heart.


    Because of this, he didn''t even attend Liu Xiu''s wedding banquet. He was isolated from the rest of the world. He stayed in his own yard every day. He didn''t see guests or go out.


    In addition to eating and drinking Lhasa every day, I practice martial arts and read books. I cultivate myself.


    Zhang Ren was very excited when he heard Zhao Yun''s voice. He opened his mouth and swallowed it again. For a moment, he didn''t know how to open his mouth.


    Zhao Yun saw a figure at the door of the room and said, "Mr. Xiu, please go back."


    A words, Zhang Ren suddenly understand, I''m afraid there are some pimples between Liu Xiu and Zhao Yun. Otherwise, Zhao Yun would not have said that.


    Zhang Ren took a deep breath and solemnly said, "younger martial brother, I''m Zhang Ren."


    In a word, Zhao Yun in the room froze.


    Zhang Ren!


    From Tong Yuan''s mouth, Zhao Yun knows that he has a senior brother, Zhang Ren. It''s just that Zhang Ren left Tongyuan very early, and Zhao Yun was a close disciple. He didn''t see Zhang Ren when he started.


    Now, Zhang Ren came to the door.


    Zhao Yun''s dreary heart also had a trace of joy to see his relatives. He quickly stood up and went to the door. He opened the door and saw Zhang Ren outside the door.


    Zhang Ren was born in his early 40s. He was a powerful general. Standing at the gate, I have an extraordinary bearing.


    Zhao Yun met Zhang Ren and said, "elder martial brother, is it really you?"


    "It''s me!"


    Zhang Ren''s face showed a rare look of excitement.


    Although Zhao Yun was slightly haggard in front of him, his heroism, sharp eyes and outstanding temperament made Zhang Ren feel good about him.


    This younger martial brother is not simple.


    This is Zhang Ren''s first impression.

 Chapter 280

    "Elder martial brother, please!"


    Zhao Yun waved his hand and invited Zhang Ren to take a seat in the room.


    After sitting down, Zhao Yun said, "elder martial brother, why did you suddenly appear in zhoumu Prefecture? Did Liu Xiu come to you to persuade me?"


    "Why not? What are you advised to do? "


    In Zhang Ren''s heart, he felt strange.


    Up to now, Zhang Ren didn''t know that Zhao Yun was Liu Bei''s subordinate. Because of a series of things, he finally came to Liu Xiu''s hands. Zhang Ren didn''t know about the twists and turns.


    As soon as Zhao Yun heard this, he knew that he had misunderstood Zhang Ren. Immediately, Zhao Yun said: "some unpleasant things, do not mention it. Elder martial brother, where are you now? "


    Zhang Ren replied, "now I work in Yizhou and work under Liu Yizhou."


    Yizhou engaged in!


    This official position is also ranked in Yizhou, especially Zhang Ren, who is the chief General of the army and has more power in his hands. Zhao Yun understood that Zhang Ren couldn''t be the lobbyist Liu Xiu asked for.


    Zhao Yun asked again: "elder martial brother is working in Yizhou. How did he come to Jingzhou?"


    Zhang Ren replied: "Liu Xiu got married. I was ordered to send an envoy to Jingzhou to congratulate him. When talking with Liu Xiu just now, he asked me if I was a disciple of the teacher. I said yes. Then, he said that you are the teacher''s close disciple, also in the prefecture, asked me if I want to see you. Of course I want to see you


    After hearing this, Zhao Yun believed it.


    He knew about Liu Xiu''s marriage. Liu Xiu also invited him, but he didn''t go.


    Zhang Ren asked, "younger martial brother, how is the teacher now?"


    Zhao Yun replied: "when I was a year ago, I went back to Zhuo County alone and met my teacher. At that time, the teacher was in good health, hale and hearty, very good. "


    When Zhang Ren heard the speech, he had a smile in his eyes.


    After learning martial arts, he never went back. He felt guilty.


    Zhang Ren sighed: "up to now, I haven''t seen my teacher for more than 20 years. I''m really ashamed. Now I''m relieved to learn that the teacher is in good health. "


    He was engaged in Yizhou, shouldering an important position, and had no time to leave at all.


    Moreover, it''s a long way from Yizhou to Zhuo County, which will take too much time.


    Zhao Yun gently smile, said: "elder martial brother, the teacher actually mentioned you, he said, the man is ambitious, should make a career. The teacher is very proud of you. "


    Zhang Ren was moved by his words.


    Zhang Ren''s heart, but more ashamed, feel unfilial.


    The two brothers chat about Tong Yuan and quickly get close to each other. In Zhang Ren''s mind, he didn''t let go of what he had done before. He changed his words and asked, "younger martial brother, when I came here just now, I listened to your tone and the tone you mentioned Liu Xiu. It seems that there are some prejudices. Is there any contradiction between you and Liu Xiu?"


    Zhao Yun smell speech, sighed a, don''t know how to answer.


    Zhao Yun''s silence makes Zhang Ren curious.


    Zhang Ren thought about it and said, "what happened to younger martial brother? After all, elder martial brother is a few years older than you. If you have any questions, elder martial brother can help you analyze them. Even if it can''t help you solve the problem, at least if you say it, you will feel better in your heart. You won''t have a pimple all the time. "


    Zhao Yun sighed: "elder martial brother, I don''t know how to say it."


    For his own situation, Zhao Yun is also difficult to choose.


    Zhang Ren said with a light smile: "if there is anything you don''t know, you can talk about it wherever you think of it. It''s so simple."


    Zhao Yun raised his head, he thought carefully, and then slowly said: "at the beginning, I was not Liu Xiu''s person, but a general under Liu Bei''s command."


    Referring to Liu Bei, Zhang Ren was impressed. He nodded and motioned to Zhao Yun to continue.


    Zhao Yun continued: "at the end of last year, uncle Liu was short of food. I protected him from going to Xiangyang to borrow food. At that time, Liu Biao only lent ten thousand stone grain, and uncle Liu had a large number of troops, so ten thousand stone grain was not enough. "


    "Uncle Liu needed more food. When he was desperate, he found Liu Xiu."


    "At that time, Liu Xiu put forward the conditions."


    ¡­¡­


    The whole process of Zhao Yun being left behind by Liu Xiu is explained clearly by Zhao Yun bit by bit.


    After that, he sighed and said: "under Liu Xiu''s constant coercion, finally, because of his own difficult situation, uncle Liu chose to give up me and choose food and take care of the overall situation. Now, I have become Liu Xiu''s person completely. It''s just, sort of, but it''s not. It''s very embarrassing. "


    After listening, Zhang Ren was silent for a moment, and then asked, "younger martial brother, what''s your impression of Liu Xiu?"


    Zhao Yun replied: "although Liu Xiu deliberately dealt with uncle Liu, he even deliberately took me away from him. But it is undeniable that he is indeed a noble corporal, wise and wise. He is a pioneer and a wise master. "


    Zhang Ren said with a light smile: "younger martial brother, since you all know Liu Xiu is wise and wise, why do you hesitate? He is a wise man. What else do you have to hesitate about? "Zhao Yun said: "I can''t get through that in my heart."


    Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "you''re a piece of wood. Elder martial brother is not afraid of hitting you. If Liu Bei sells you once, he will sell you a second time. Now I have sold you twice. If you are under Liu Bei''s command, there will be a third. He even has a lump in his heart. "


    Speaking of this, Zhang Ren continued: "on the one hand, Liu Bei''s guilt for you makes him not know how to face you; on the other hand, it''s his estrangement to you. After all, you are under Liu Xiu''s command. Although you have no contact with Liu Xiu and have no effect for Liu Xiu, will Liu Bei manage these? He doesn''t care. Therefore, you can no longer serve for Liu Bei. If you return to Liu Bei''s command now, you will feel embarrassed and can''t find the position and feeling you once had. "


    The words made Zhao Yun even more silent.


    In Zhao Yun''s heart, Liu Bei is always the same person as his elder brother. Even if his elder brother is wrong, he thinks he can tolerate it.


    Now, with Zhang Ren''s words, Zhao Yun seems to wake up.


    Zhang Ren continued: "besides, I also have some knowledge about Liu Xiu. The short contact in recent days and Liu Xiu''s inspection of the soldiers in front of all the princes today are all in the limelight. "


    "Liu Xiu''s army is strong and strong, and it can''t be seen that he was affected by the civil strife in Jingzhou."


    "His catapult and rhubarb crossbow are powerful weapons for killing people and attacking cities. With such weapons, there will be no unrest in Jingzhou. "


    "Moreover, Liu Xiu is extremely smart and wise. As you said, he is a pioneer."


    "If you follow Liu Xiu, you will not disgrace your talent or your martial arts. Liu Bei''s temporary residence in Xinye is like a dog who has lost his family and has no place at all. On the contrary, it''s Liu Xiu. He has settled down in Jingzhou and will continue to expand. "


    "Younger martial brother, you are the best choice to follow Liu Xiu."


    "The opportunity is in front of you. Don''t miss it."


    At this point, Zhang Ren sighed and said, "if my lord Liu Zhang is wise and powerful and can show your talent, I hope you will join me in Sichuan and work for him. Unfortunately, the Lord is close to villains, listen to slander, you go to Yizhou also difficult to play talent. Ah... "


    After listening to Zhang Ren''s words, Zhao Yun''s pimples gradually disappeared.


    In my heart, I began to think about my own situation and choice.


    Zhang Ren continued: "younger martial brother, you are the close disciple of the teacher, which means that you are the person with the teacher''s greatest hope. So you can''t bury your talent and martial arts. "


    Zhao Yun showed a smile on his face and said, "thank you, elder martial brother. Younger martial brother wants to open up."


    Zhang Ren laughed and said, "it''s the best. As a teacher''s disciple, how can he be decadent? This is the last thing we should do. "


    Zhao Yun asked, "elder martial brother, do you have a family now?"


    Zhang Ren nodded and said: "not for the time being. I''m busy with military affairs all day. How can I get married and have children. Zilong, what about you? "


    Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "I have been wandering with my Lord for many years, and I am still alone."


    Liu Bei is wandering around, and so is Zhao Yun.


    Therefore, Zhao Yun is still alone.


    Zhang Ren said: "no matter what, it can''t be a person. If you are a soldier or a person fighting in the battlefield, you should understand that you may die at any time in the battlefield. So, no matter what, you should get married as soon as possible and leave your blood behind. "


    Zhao Yun nodded and said, "don''t worry, elder martial brother. I''ll think about it. It''s the same with you, elder martial brother. You should get married quickly. "


    Zhang Ren began to laugh. Seeing that Zhao Yun''s heart knot had been untied, he got up and said, "it''s getting late. Elder martial brother, don''t bother me. Tomorrow morning, I will leave Xiangyang and return to Yizhou. Tomorrow morning, I won''t come to say goodbye. Zilong, I hope that the next time I see you, I will not be depressed, but the high spirited Zhao Zilong. "


    Zhao Yun got up to see him off and said, "elder martial brother, take your time!"


    After seeing off Zhang Ren, Zhao Yun goes back to the room and lies down to have a rest. But the thoughts in his mind are hard to calm down. Because what he has to consider now is to become an official and work for Liu Xiu.


    When Zhang Ren arrived at the hall, he saluted Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said: "General Zhang met Zilong. It''s a wish."


    Zhang Ren arched his hand and said, "Liu Jingzhou is very kind. Zhang Ren is very grateful. However, I also have a message to tell Liu Jingzhou that his younger martial brother''s heart knot should have been solved. Liu Jingzhou is going to invite Zilong out of the mountain now. It should be no more difficult. "


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he was very happy.


    Unexpectedly, Zhang Ren brought such a big surprise.

 Chapter 281

    Liu Xiu took the initiative to say: "General Zhang, thank you very much."


    Zhang Ren said: "no thanks. Liu Jingzhou gave away the drawings of the catapult and the rhubarb crossbow for free. It''s the Lord who should thank Liu Jingzhou."


    The meaning of the words is that Liu Xiu''s kindness has been returned.


    Liu Xiu was amused that Zhang Ren''s words came late.


    Before that, he had planted a seed in Fazheng''s heart, which would take root sooner or later.


    Fazheng looked at Zhang Ren and said, "General Zhang, Liu Jingzhou has given me the drawing of the rhubarb crossbow and the catapult. Tomorrow morning, we will leave for Yizhou."


    Then he shook the drawing in his hand.


    Zhang Ren sees this, the corner of his mouth also has a smile.


    Fazheng said: "Liu Jingzhou, also deep, goodbye."


    "Take your time, no see off!"


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and watched them leave.


    Shortly after they left, Liu Xiugang was about to have a rest when a valet came in in a hurry and reported: "my Lord, my father-in-law has asked for a visit."


    "Please


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and thought about how to deal with Fuwan.


    Liu Xiu is very clear about the purpose of Fu Wan''s coming. He certainly hopes that he will send troops to attack Cao Cao and save Liu Xie.


    Naturally, Liu Xiu would not do such a thing.


    If we fight with Cao Cao now, we will find ourselves dead.


    But on the surface, we have to let Fu Wan go back in peace and let Liu Xie continue to believe him. Even in some cases, Liu Xie provided him with some convenience.


    Liu Xiu personally went to the gate to wait, and soon saw Fu Wan coming quickly.


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "Liu Xiu has met the abbot!"


    Fu Wan, with a smile on his face, hastily replied, "Liu Jingzhou is very polite."


    Seeing Liu Xiu''s attitude, Fu Wan''s heart became steadfast. After the inspection of the soldiers, he felt a little uneasy. He worried that Liu Xiu would turn his face and refuse to recognize others. Now I see that Liu Xiu has not changed. He is still the original Liu Xiu. He is steadfast in mind, otherwise Liu Xiu would not meet him at the door in person.


    After the guests and the host took their seats, Liu Xiu asked directly, "my father-in-law is visiting late at night. What can I do for you?"


    Fu Wan, with a heavy expression, said slowly, "Liu Jingzhou, to be honest, your majesty is facing a very difficult situation, and needs Liu Jingzhou''s help urgently."


    "Today, a large number of officials in the court have been replaced, and they have all become the people of Cao thief."


    "Loyal officials and wise men have been denounced."


    "If it goes on like this, the country will be defeated and the great man will die."


    Fu Wan''s eyes showed a look of hatred and said: "recently, the court has been arguing. Because Cao thief wanted to restore the prime minister, and intended to be the prime minister himself, and then abolish Sangong. "


    "The reason why he abolished Sangong was to reduce the number of people in the court and then monopolize power."


    "This matter, the Minister of the court has been opposed, and Cao Cao is also actively planning for this matter. I estimate that the thief Cao will eventually go his own way and become the prime minister himself. "


    Fu Wan said anxiously: "the situation of the imperial court is getting more and more difficult. Now that Liu Jingzhou is in power and has a strong army, it''s time to send troops to attack Cao thieves. Liu Bei is also a loyal man. When Liu Jingzhou attacked the Cao thief, he did not expect to sit back and ignore him. Once he gets involved, it will be better. Attack the thief Cao and make me bigger. "


    When Liu Xiu heard about Liu Bei, he was upset. Moreover, Liu Xiu himself did not want to send troops. After listening to Fu Wan''s words, he was full of fire.


    "I''m afraid the dispatch of troops will be delayed," Liu said


    In a word, Fu Wan''s expression suddenly tightened. The way he looked at Liu Xiu was also a look of examination.


    Fu Wan suppressed his anger and said, "why?"


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "there are three reasons why we can''t send troops for the time being."


    "First, although the abbot is in Xu county, he must also be concerned about the situation in Jingzhou. Not long ago, I just inherited Jingzhou. With the support of Liu Bei, my eldest brother Liu Qi directly announced that he was appointed as a herdsman in Jingzhou and did not accept my control. "


    "At the same time, Liu Bei even incited the Taishou of Nanjun and Wuling to revolt, trying to push me down."


    "Fortunately, I responded promptly and calmed the war in the shortest time."


    "However, my elder brother Liu Qi is still in Xinye, and there are many officials in Jingzhou who do not agree with me."


    "In a short period of time, I don''t want to say that it''s the deployment of troops. Even self-protection is a problem. The reason why we have to inspect the soldiers today is to frighten the officials and buy me time. "


    "Abbot, if I don''t mobilize all the troops in Jingzhou to defeat the Cao bandit with only a small number of troops in my hand, it''s a fool''s dream. Therefore, I need a certain amount of time to sort out the internal affairs, straighten out Jingzhou, and mobilize Jingzhou''s strength to serve the king. "


    Liu Xiu''s words are sincere.With these words, the anger in Fu Wan''s eyes subsided a lot.


    At least, Liu Xiu''s words are reasonable.


    Liu Xiu sighed and continued: "the second reason is the threat from Jiangdong. At the beginning of my term of office, Jiangdong had already launched a large-scale military campaign. Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, led the army to attack Changsha County. I have to defeat Zhou Yu''s Jiangdong army and stabilize the situation in Changsha County and Jingzhou. Only in this way can I slow down and attack Cao thief. "


    "If the rear area is unstable, we will lead our troops to fight. I''m afraid that the rear area will sink as soon as the troops get out of Jingzhou."


    Liu Xiuse said: "this is also a problem that must be solved. After sorting out the internal affairs and straightening out the situation in Jingzhou, I must relieve the future trouble in Jingzhou. "


    After listening, Fu nodded.


    Fu Wan was an official in the imperial court. He knew nothing about military affairs. In terms of intrigue and self-protection, Fu Wan has a lot of reasons, but when it comes to military affairs, he doesn''t understand his safety. Listening to Liu Xiu''s words, he thinks it''s reasonable, so he agrees with Liu Xiu''s statement.


    Liu Xiu continued: "the third reason is that Jingzhou is short of troops at present. Even if we count the troops who don''t listen to orders, it''s far from enough. It needs at least 100000 talents to punish Cao thief. But the current situation is far from enough. Therefore, I need to recruit a large number of soldiers for training, and then form combat effectiveness, and then crusade against Cao thief. "


    "Alas..."


    After listening, the expression on Fu''s face showed approval.


    Liu Xiu''s three reasons have convinced Fu Wan.


    Fu Wan asked: "Liu Jingzhou, when can we attack Cao thief at the latest?"


    Fu Wan''s heart is still not reconciled, worried about Liu Xiu''s delay in action, so he chose a date. As long as Liu Xiu said a clear time, he went back to the emperor, and his heart was steady.


    Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "next year at the latest!"


    In a word, the heart of Fu finished down, but Liu Xiu''s heart, but laughed.


    This year, Cao Cao has begun to prepare for going south to Jingzhou. Next year, he will surely start a war. At that time, Liu Xiu was busy fighting with Cao Cao. How could he spare time to attack Xu county?


    The twists and turns in Liu Xiu''s mind are clear.


    It''s just, I don''t know.


    Fu Wan thought Liu Xiu agreed and said excitedly: "Liu Jingzhou will send troops next year. With Liu Jingzhou''s ability, he will be able to defeat Cao Cao easily. The Great Han Dynasty is finally saved. "


    LIU Xiu said with a smile:" don''t worry, father-in-law. As a descendant of Liu, Liu Xiu will never forget his blood and responsibilities. Therefore, I will certainly defeat Cao thief. "


    "Good! Good


    Fu Wan''s eyes are full of joy.


    At this time, Fu Wan didn''t disturb any more. He stood up and arched his hand and said, "Liu Jingzhou, it''s late at night. I won''t disturb you. Goodbye. I will return to Xu county early tomorrow morning. So tomorrow morning, I won''t come to say goodbye. I hope Liu Jingzhou will manage well in Xiangyang and train an invincible army that can win a battle. "


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "don''t worry, uncle. Liu Xiu will do his best and dare not slack off at all." After seeing off Fu, Liu xiuphen told him to go down, no longer meet anyone, and went back to the hospital.

 Chapter 282

    Inn, Cheng Yu''s room.


    During the day, watching Liu Xiu''s soldiers perform martial arts, Cheng Yu''s heart is also full of ups and downs.


    In my heart, there is also a worry.


    I didn''t expect that Liu Xiugang was in charge of Jingzhou, and his forces were so strong.


    When Liu Xiu was in Jingzhou, he had a great influence on Cao Cao''s going south. However, Cao Cao did not decide the strategy of Bashu, Jingzhou and Jiangdong according to Guo Jia''s instructions at the time of his death. Instead, he was determined to seize Jingzhou and Sun Quan. In Cao Cao''s eyes, Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu were not afraid as long as they defeated Jingzhou and Jiangdong.


    To pacify the world is a matter of course.


    Therefore, Cao Cao''s strategy is still to fix Jingzhou and Jiangdong first.


    Sitting in the room, Cheng Yu is writing an article about what he saw and heard during his stay in Jingzhou, and how he feels about Liu Xiu and Jingzhou.


    "Dong! Dong


    Knock on the door, outside the room.


    The attendant said, "my Lord, Zhang Zhao asked to see you."


    "Please


    Cheng Yu put down the brush, put away the bamboo slips, and then wait quietly. It''s very late now. I didn''t expect Zhang Zhao to come to him. It seems that Zhang Zhao was scared out of courage by his martial arts performance during the day.


    Before Zhang Zhao came to visit, he was disappointed and returned. Now he comes again, I''m afraid he lost his confidence.


    Soon, Zhang Zhao came to the room.


    After sitting down, Zhang Zhao didn''t make a detour and said directly, "what do you think of Zhongde Gong seeing Liu Xiu''s soldiers performing martial arts today?"


    Cheng Yu said: "Liu Xiu''s soldiers are all elite and can be called the division of hundred battles."


    Zhang Zhao sighed and said, "it''s more than elite. It''s just ferocious. In particular, the rhubarb crossbow and catapult under Liu Xiu''s command are a sharp weapon to kill people. Liu Xiu has such a sharp weapon. It''s frightening! "


    Cheng Yu nodded and said, "that''s true. Liu Xiu is very strong. He has a hard time in Jingzhou and Jiangdong."


    In a word, Zhang Zhao''s eyes showed a trace of dignity.


    Zhang Zhao changed his words and said: "Liu Xiu is so arrogant. If he is not eliminated as soon as possible, Liu Xiu will be in more trouble at that time, which is also a great threat to Cao Gong. I think we should send troops to attack Liu Xiu as soon as possible. I suggest that Cao Jun and Jiangdong jointly attack Jingzhou. "


    After hearing this, Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "Duke Zhang, there is only one way to unite with the imperial court. I told you during the day that Sun Quan should send protons to Xu county. In this way, the Lord will send troops. Even if it''s not ready, it will cooperate with you. "


    Zhang Zhao frowned and was controlled by Cao Cao.


    Unexpectedly, Cheng Yu didn''t let go at all, which made Zhang Zhao a little embarrassed. At present, the momentum of Jingzhou is like a rainbow, while the situation in Jiangdong is tense. It is necessary to suppress Liu Xiu''s arrogance.


    Otherwise, the situation in Jiangdong will be very difficult.


    Seeing that Zhang Zhao''s expression had changed, Cheng Yu knew that the other party might be moved, and continued to persuade him: "Mr. Zhang, no matter how strong Liu Xiu is, he is only strong in Jingzhou. Can he still attack Sikong?"


    "You must see that Sikong''s occupation of the north is already threatening the general situation, and no one can defeat him."


    "Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu can''t resist Sikong."


    Cheng Yu was very confident and said: "similarly, I am not exaggerating to say that no one in Jiangdong could resist the army of Sikong. It''s time for Jiangdong to show his sincerity when he claims to be a minister to Sikong. Mr. Zhang, what do you think? "


    Zhang Zhao''s heart is also a tangle.


    In Zhang Zhao''s eyes, he did not think that Liu Xiu and Sun Quan could resist Cao Cao, and he also thought that obedience was the best choice.


    Zhang zhaoshen took a breath and said, "Mr. Zhong De, when I return to Jiangdong, I will tell you the key. Then, give a reply to Sikong. "


    "Good!"


    Cheng Yu''s eyes show a trace of smile.


    Seeing Zhang Zhao leave, Cheng Yu knows that it must be a success to win over Jiangdong.


    As for the so-called proton dispatch, if Sun Quan agrees, that is the best result. If Sun Quan resolutely refuses to send protons, Cao Cao will also agree to unite with Sun Quan, because Cao Cao can not push Sun Quan to the opposite.


    After Zhang Zhao left his room, he went to Zhuge Liang''s Inn.


    Outside the room, Zhang Zhao knocked on the door.


    Zhuge Liang opened the door and saw Zhang Zhao standing at the door. With a pick of his brow, a smile rose in his heart. Then he waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, please come inside."


    Zhang Zhao waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhuge, please!"


    Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, please!"


    When they entered the room and sat down, Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "Zhang Gongshen came to release at night. What''s the matter?"


    Zhang Zhao said, "I''m here for uncle Liu."


    With a smile on his lips, Zhuge Liang said, "my Lord, uncle Liu, everything is well. I don''t know what Mr. Zhang is doing for him." Zhuge Liang was very proficient in this tone and way of speaking.He had already guessed the purpose of Zhang Zhaolai, so he was more determined in his heart, without a trace of panic.


    Whoever can be stable will take the lead.


    Zhang Zhao looked serious and said: "last time, uncle Liu coerced his eldest son Liu Qi to support himself as a herdsman in Jingzhou, Wuling county and Nanjun County responded. But in an instant, Liu''s offensive was put out, and even Liu and Liu Qi took the initiative to issue a statement, saying that they respected Liu Xiu. "


    "I don''t know what happened that made uncle Liu lose the best opportunity. I don''t want to know now."


    "But uncle Liu''s current situation is rather delicate."


    Zhang Zhao zhengse said: "Xinye is in a position of four wars. The north is Cao''s army, and the south is Liu Xiu, who wants to get rid of it. Mr. Kong Ming, if you don''t pay attention to uncle Liu''s place, you are in danger of overturning. With Mr. Kong Ming''s wisdom, I think I know this precarious situation. "


    Zhuge Liang began to laugh, with a confident look on his face.


    Zhang Zhao asked, "why is Mr. Kong Ming laughing?"


    Zhuge Liang replied, "the reason is very simple. The questions mentioned by Duke Zhang are not questions."


    Zhang Zhao said: "Mr. Kong Ming is too confident! Is it true what I said. It''s not Mr. Kong Ming''s style to tell lies with his eyes open. "


    Zhuge Liang said, "Mr. Zhang, my words can stand up to scrutiny."


    "First, it is true and true that Xinye has four battlefields. But from Xinye, you can attack Cao thief in the north and retreat into Xiangyang in the south. My lord retreated to Jingzhou. Did Liu Xiu dare to stop him? "


    "Second, the bandits of Cao are covetous, which is also true. But the best strategy in the art of war is to subdue people without fighting. Our Lord stands between the Cao bandits and Jingzhou. The Cao bandits are threatening on the surface, but in fact they are contacting secretly, hoping that our Lord will lead the army to surrender. "


    "Third, Liu Xiu wanted to get rid of it quickly, which was wrong. My Lord, uncle Liu, came from the royal family. Liu Xiu is also a patriarch of the Han Dynasty. He has the same goal, that is to revitalize the Han Dynasty. Although they have different ideas and some differences, they are not going to kill each other and take advantage of Cao Cao. "


    Zhuge Liang vowed confidently: "Mr. Zhang, the situation of our Lord seems delicate, but in fact it is as solid as gold. Our position is stable and there is no threat."


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Zhang Zhao stroked his beard under his jaw and showed a smile on his face. He said in admiration: "Mr. Kong Ming is eloquent, and Zhang Zhao is very impressed."


    Zhuge Liang gently shakes the feather fan with a deep look.


    However, on the surface, he was like this, but in his heart, he also sighed. Now Liu Bei''s situation is really very bad. The so-called Cao Jun''s contact with Liu Bei in private is just his fabrication. Cao Cao treats Liu Bei now. That''s what he really wants. He doesn''t want to recruit Liu Bei.


    Zhang Zhao then said, "Mr. Kong Ming, dare you ask Uncle Liu if he is willing to surrender to Cao thief?"


    Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "nature is impossible."


    Zhang Zhao said: "in that case, it''s very clear. No matter how the thief Cao sent people to contact him in private, uncle Liu could not surrender. So in the end, we have to fight Cao thief. But with uncle Liu''s forces, can he resist Cao''s army? Mr. Kong Ming has a good tongue, but I don''t think such a thing can resist the thief Cao without opening his mouth. "


    Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Cao thief is powerful and not impeccable."


    This, however, is not strong enough.


    This time, Zhang Zhao came here with the attitude of seeking survival.


    He arched his hand to show weakness and said, "Mr. Kong Ming, uncle Liu is in a delicate situation. It''s very difficult for us to stay in Jiangdong. During the day, Liu Xiu''s elite, you have seen, such an elite, is simply a weapon of war. It''s very hard to resist. So I hope that Jiangdong and uncle Liu will unite to attack Jingzhou and get rid of their respective threats. "


    Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows, and his eyes showed a trace of emotion.


    This proposal is very good.


    Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhang, since we want to attack and defend each other, I think the best way is not to make it public. Jiangdong is in the Ming Dynasty and Xinye is in the dark. At that time, it can play the biggest effect. What does Mr. Zhang think? "


    Zhang Zhao sneered in his heart. He understood Zhuge Liang''s intention, which was to avoid Xinye from getting into trouble. But once Liu Bei attacks Liu Xiu, everything will be revealed to the world. Can it be hidden?


    However, Zhang Zhao did not tear it down.


    Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "Mr. Kong Ming''s consideration is very good. Since we are going to unite, I think we need to have further face-to-face talks to discuss the time of attacking Jingzhou together. What does Mr. Kong Ming think? "


    Zhuge Liang said: "Zhang Gong''s words are reasonable. I have to go back to Xinye to report to my Lord."


    Zhang Zhao was relieved and said with a smile, "that''s it. I''ll send someone to contact uncle Liu as soon as possible."


    Zhuge Liang nodded, and then personally sent Zhang Zhao away.

 Chapter 283

    In the morning, the sun rises.


    In March, the weather in Xiangyang is getting warmer. In spring, everything is full of vitality. Especially in the morning sun down, shining on the body is particularly comfortable.


    In the courtyard, a white figure, like a dragon, dances constantly.


    A bright silver gun of gentian, dotted with stars in the air. Under the golden sun, it is even more like a God. A trace of the intention to kill, in the silver gun outline, clearly emerged.


    Zhao Yun''s body is like a swimming dragon, but his dragon gall and silver gun are light and crafty.


    At the gate of the courtyard, Liu Xiu stood with his hands on his shoulder.


    Seeing Zhao Yun''s vigorous posture, Liu Xiu had an idea in his heart.


    "Sonorous!"


    Liu Xiu''s hand held the green sword and made a leap.


    A green rainbow is flying in the air.


    Qingchen sword is so sharp that Liu Xiu quickly approaches Zhao Yun and shouts, "Zilong, take the move." Sword like lightning, people like tigers down the mountain, Liu Xiu immediately approached Zhao Yun.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes are sharp, and his swordsmanship is domineering, light and treacherous. It contains the swordsmanship of Deng Zhan and Shi a, and has already entered the arena.


    As soon as Liu Xiu approached, Zhao Yun felt a great threat.


    "A hundred birds in front of the Phoenix, the Phoenix nods!"


    Zhao Yun drinks low, in hand''s Dragon gall bright silver gun in the air a turn, the gun tip instantaneous pokes out.


    "Ding!"


    With a light chant, the tip of the gun hit the green sword.


    The dexterity of both sides broke out, and sparks flashed in the air.


    As soon as they fight, they immediately stagger and then rush to each other again.


    Zhao Yun in the hands of the gentian bright silver gun, a turn in the air, low shout: "Phoenix Nirvana!"


    In a flash, the attack speed of Longdan liangyin gun slowed down. Speaking late, then fast, in an instant, it has been promoted again, just like a phoenix bathing in fire, which is furious in an instant.


    Liu light as a gun, leaving a lightning point in the air repair quickly.


    "Well come!"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes sparkled with embarrassment.


    "One sword, two kills!"


    The green sword in Liu Xiu''s hand was quickly wielded. The blade left two shadows in the air. From the outside, it seems that the blade is facing Zhao Yun''s spear from two different directions.


    "Dang!"


    The weapons collided and exploded.


    Two people are instant body shape meal, and then quickly kill each other.


    The two fought fast as if they were indefatigable.


    "Seven explorations, one exploration!"


    After Zhao Yun stepped back two steps, the gun in his hand suddenly changed. One shot came out. It was swift, tricky and treacherous. It was almost unpredictable. The qitanpan snake spear was created by Zhao Yun on the basis of a hundred birds to court the Phoenix. It has the lightness and flexibility of a hundred birds to court the Phoenix spear. It is also tricky, poisonous and unpredictable.


    When a gun is pointed out, the tip of the gun floats up and down, so it''s impossible to know where the target of the tip is.


    Liu Xiu calmly attack, he began to fight with Zhao Yun, but also to let Zhao Yun vent some, let Zhao Yun heart pimple thoroughly solved.


    Now two people fight, gradually, began to take seriously.


    Liu Xiu was calm and absorbed.


    All of his thoughts were focused on the green sword in his hand. His eyes were fixed on the gun in Zhao Yun''s hand.


    "A sword, stars."


    Liu Xiu drank low and drew out his green sword. The sharp sword tip trembles, and outlines sword flowers in the air. The sword flower brought by the green rainbow is like a bright star. Behind every star is killing everywhere.


    "Ding! Ding! Ding


    When they fight each other, they only see a little bright light in the air.


    Two figures entangled together, constantly fighting.


    One man, one shot!


    One man, one sword!


    The two men who fought each other were not defeated at all. The more they fought, the braver they were.


    "Seven explorations, three explorations!"


    Zhao Yun roared. The speed of the Dragon gall silver gun in his hand was a little faster. The tip of the gun seemed to be invisible in the air. It was unpredictable.


    The green sword in Liu Xiu''s hand also attacked rapidly.


    "One sword, matchless!"


    The green sword in Liu Xiu''s hand was shot out, and it seemed that all the sword moves had become unimportant. A sword, only this sword, is the most important, is the most dazzling.


    A sword is matchless, only this sword is really dazzling.


    "Dang!"


    The collision between the tip of the gun and the blade of the sword caused sparks.


    Two people fighting, physical strength are in rapid consumption, are already panting. But there is a high morale in their eyes.


    The master moves, between moves, is enough to divide the victory and defeat.


    However, they are equally matched. Up to now, there is no sign of defeat. Two people fighting, forehead beans big sweat, constantly flowing down, sweat, tired."Hoo! Hoo


    The two men, each armed, were panting.


    Look at each other, do not let the eyes.


    Zhao Yun''s hand holding the long Dan Liang silver gun trembled a little. He looked at Liu Xiu and said in a deep voice, "young master Xiu, the last move is sure to win."


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu nodded. Up to now, he was also quite tired. His hand holding the handle of the sword was shaking gently.


    Tiger mouth, also has a trace of crisp hemp.


    If we go on fighting, I''m afraid Liu Xiu can''t stick to it himself.


    "Please


    Zhao Yun in the hands of the gentian silver gun dancing in the air, a gun hanging across the air, gun point quickly forward.


    A sharp breath suddenly burst out.


    "Seven explorations of snake, seven explorations of life."


    Unparalleled breath, as if cut off any vitality.


    One shot out, overbearing.


    This shot, rare without the previous dexterity, before the flowery, before the gorgeous, only to see a shot in the air, simple, back to nature.


    There was a sharp whistling sound at the tip of the gun, which was simple and unadorned.


    Liu Xiu''s scalp was numb and his eyes were full of war. In the hand of the green sword, in the air took a sword flower, and then welcomed up.


    "A sword, no me!"


    A sword out, Liu Xiu and the hands of the green sword, as if to melt into one.


    In the air, only this sword is left.


    The sharp sword swept by and collided with the gentian silver gun.


    "Ho


    The blade of the sword passed through the barrel of the gun, and there was a flash of sparks on the barrel. Then the sharp blade stopped three inches in front of Zhao Yun''s chest. At the same time, the tip of Zhao Yun''s long Dan Liang silver gun also stopped three inches in front of Liu Xiu''s chest.


    Both of them stopped at the last moment.


    Zhao Yun arched his hand and said, "master Xiu has excellent martial arts. Zhao Yun admires him."


    Liu Xiu said: "this battle should be won by Zilong. Zi Long''s shooting skill should be combined with the horse''s sprint to show his lethality and swift power. And my sword technique is fighting on foot. Comparatively speaking, Zi Long''s own short attack on my long, or I played a draw, has been a victory


    After hearing this, Zhao Yun agreed with Liu Xiu.


    However, Zhao Yun said: "in this world, xiugongzi''s swordsmanship has reached its peak. I don''t know who is higher or lower than Shia''s swordsmanship in Luoyang? "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "I haven''t seen it. Naturally I don''t know."


    "Sonorous!"


    Liu Xiu put his sword into the scabbard and said, "Zilong, today I''ll call the civil and military officials under my command to discuss the matter. You can join me."


    Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment and replied, "yes, I will attend on time."


    With a smile on Liu Xiu''s face, Zhao Yun is willing to participate, which means that Zhao Yun has recognized him. Liu Xiu took the sword from his waist and said, "the sword is given to the hero. I captured the sword from Cao Cao. Zilong''s martial arts are excellent. He can''t do without a decent sword. This sword is given to you. I hope you don''t insult Qingchen sword. "


    "It can''t..."


    Zhao Yun shook his head. Qingchen sword is Liu Xiu''s sword. In a sense, it represents Liu Xiu. Now Liu Xiu gave him Qingchen sword, which was too valuable.


    Liu Xiu couldn''t help but put it on the stone table in the yard and said, "I believe you deserve this sword."


    With that, Liu Xiu went out and said, "I''ll send someone to inform you during the discussion."


    Zhao Yun looked at Liu Xiu''s back as he left and the green sword on the table. He was moved. He folded his hands and bowed to Liu Xiu''s back as he left.

 Chapter 284

    After leaving Zhao Yun''s yard, Liu Xiu went back to his study and took out his Zhenshan sword to wear. Zhenshan sword was given to him by Liu Biao and handed down by Liu Yu, king of Lu Gong. It is of great significance. Qingchen sword to Zhao Yun, Liu Xiu will wear Zhenshan sword.


    At this time, the attendants reported that the envoys of all the princes had left Xiangyang.


    The departure of the envoys meant that the parade was really over.


    What Liu Xiu got, he has already got.


    After pacifying Fu Wan, he planted a seed in Fazheng''s heart and even united with Yizhou.


    This time, Liu Xiu''s delivery was even very good.


    Liu Xiu had sent someone to inform his civil servants. At about midnight, the valet came to report that all the officials had arrived, waiting for Liu Xiu to take charge. Liu Xiu just got up and went to the hall.


    Liu Xiushen, wearing a black official uniform, a Jinxian crown and a Zhenshan sword, strode to the hall.


    Come to the hall, everyone has been seated.


    On the left, Yi Ji, Kuai Yue, Kuai Qi, Ma Liang, Xu Shu, Pang Tong and others gather. On the right, a group of generals, such as Wen pin, Huang Zhong, Deng Zhan, Wang Wei, Zhang Shuo, Huang Hu and Zhao Yun, are also sitting in danger.


    This time, all the civil and military generals under Liu Xiu were withdrawn.


    Zhao Yun took part for the first time and sat at the end of the right side.


    After Liu Xiu took his seat in the throne, he glanced over his military officers and said in a deep voice: "except for the prefects and magistrates of the counties, all the main personnel have been transferred back. It can be said that it is the most complete one. It''s also that Kuai Qi''s official career has been very smooth all the way since he took office.


    All these are gifts from Liu Xiu.


    It can be said that Liu Xiu is the noble man he hit.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "when I first came to you County, you were diligent and hardworking in handling the affairs in the rear. Today, I have appointed you as the prefect of Changsha county to assist Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha, in handling government affairs. "


    "Thank you


    Kuai Qi hugged his fist and gave thanks.


    However, Kuai Qi''s heart, there is a trace of disappointment.


    I thought I would be the prefect of a county like my elder brother Kuai Yue, but I didn''t expect to be the prefect of Changsha County. However, less than a year after he became an official, he has become the prefect of a county.


    Although there is disappointment in my heart, it is acceptable.

 Chapter 285

    Outside the prefecture, a carriage drove slowly.


    In the carriage, Lu Su was sitting upright.


    Before that, Liu Xiu had sent people to you county to inform Lu Su to return to Xiangyang. At the same time, Liu Xiu also sent someone to inform Lu Su that he would no longer hide Lu Su''s situation. But the premise of everything is that Lu Su is willing to return to Xiangyang. If Lu Su does not return to Xiangyang, Liu Xiu will not force Lu Su to take up his official post. He will still let Lu Su hide in the dark.


    At the beginning, Lu Su didn''t plan to come back. Although Lu Su has worked for Liu Xiu, he is also collecting information about Yizhou. But in his heart, he is not ready.


    In the end, Lu Su couldn''t help it, and he didn''t want to hide behind the scenes all the time.


    This appointment involves Liu Xiu''s team members. If Lu Su missed this opportunity, he would be in a very awkward position under Liu Xiu in the future.


    So Lu Su finally decided to return to Xiangyang to participate in this appointment.


    "Woo!"


    The coachman pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped at the gate of the prefecture.


    "Here we are, Mr. Zijing."


    Driver''s coachman, mouth reminded a.


    Lu Su got up, got out of the carriage, said thanks to the groom, and then went to the gate of the prefecture.


    After he came to the gate and explained his intention to the servant, one of the servant quickly went into the mansion to report, and then another servant took Lu Su to the mansion.


    Before that, Liu Xiu had given an order to the servants at the door. If Lu Su came back from you County, he would bring him directly into the house.


    When Liu XiuXiu was about to announce the appointment of the next person, a valet quickly entered the hall and reported, "your honor, Lu Su is here."


    There was an uproar in the hall.


    Pang Tong, Ma Liang, Kuai Qi and others knew about the existence of Lu Su, but Xiangyang officials, including Kuai Yue, Yi Ji and others, were extremely surprised because they claimed that Lu Su had already died in the hands of Liu Xiu.


    Why are you still alive?


    What''s going on in this scene?


    Many people have doubts in their hearts, but they can''t bring them up. They can only hold them in their hearts.


    At this moment, Liu Xiu shocked people again.


    No matter what his subordinates thought, Liu Xiu got up and went to the gate to wait. All the people under his command did not dare to stand any more and stood up and waited in place.


    Before long, Lu Su had come to the door of the hall under the guidance of his attendants.


    Lu Su saw Liu Xiu standing at the door, his eyes also showed a trace of smile. When he came to Liu Xiu, he arched his hand and said, "Lu Su, I''d like to meet you."


    In a word, the people in the hall were even more shocked.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Zijing, I thought you didn''t come back. Come on, let''s go. Follow me in."


    Then he took Lu Su''s hand and entered the hall.


    Liu Xiu ordered people to rearrange a position in the hall, which was lower than Kuai Qi, and was higher than Wang can, Fu Xun and others.


    After Lu Su was seated, many people in the hall were still shocked.


    Lu Su is alive!


    Lu Su is Liu Xiu''s man!


    One by one, in the eyes of Liu Xiu, there was more awe and more incredible. At this moment, they suddenly felt that Liu Xiu was just like a riddle. They couldn''t figure it out.


    I don''t know how, another man came out of his command.


    This was the case with Zhao Yun before!


    Now it''s the same with Lu Su!


    When we think of the imperial edict that Liu Xiu took out before, we feel that Liu Xiu is unfathomable.


    Liu Xiu looked at the people under his command and said with a smile, "you must wonder how Zijing was not killed. On the way back to Xiangyang from Jiangdong, in order to avoid Zijing getting into unnecessary trouble, I declared that Zijing had been killed. Since Zi Jing worked for me, he has been giving advice behind the scenes and made a lot of contributions. "


    As soon as the words came out, the people in the hall looked at Lu Su, and their eyes became respectful.


    But Lu Su was deeply moved.


    In fact, after he played for Liu Xiu, Lu Su did not participate in all the battles with Jiangdong. But now Liu Xiu says that his participation means that he also has credit. This is Liu Xiu''s intention to enable him to quickly integrate into it.


    After a brief introduction, Liu Xiu said, "let''s get down to business. Now that Zijing has arrived at the prefecture, everyone will be here. Let''s continue."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "wenpin listens to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Wenpin stood up, stepped out and saluted.


    At the moment, Wen pin''s heart is also quite excited. He used to be under Liu Biao''s command. Although he was Liu Biao''s confidant and also in charge of the army, in fact, he had little power in his hands, because everything needed Liu Biao''s authorization, otherwise nothing would work.


    Now that Liu Xiu is reappointed, it is clear that he will surely be re appointed.


    Liu Xiu looked serious and said, "in Jingzhou, everyone knows wenpin''s loyalty; in Jingzhou, everyone knows wenpin''s tenacity. This time Cai Mao''s rebellion was also brought down by Wen pin and his army. Without wenpin, Jingzhou would have been in turmoil. Now Nanjun prefect vacancy, I decided to wenpin in charge of Nanjun"Thank you


    In wenpin''s eyes, he was surprised, but still respectfully thanks.


    He is a general and has always been a member of the general sequence.


    But now, Liu Xiu directly appointed him as the prefect of Nanjun and put him in the civil service. Not only that, because he has the experience of running the army, he must be a civil and military man.


    Real power!


    Real power!


    Xiangyang is also within the scope of Nanjun, so the importance of wenpin can be imagined.


    Wenpin said thanks and went back to his seat.


    Liu Xiu looked at the people under his command. Generally speaking, the people who were arranged separately had already been arranged. The arrangements for the rest are different.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "the adjustment of officials in Jingzhou is basically like this, and no other adjustment will be made."


    Yi Ji and Kuai Yue were all relieved. The smaller the scope of Liu Xiu''s adjustment, the less turbulence Jingzhou will face. The current scale of adjustment is a very slight adjustment, and there will be no problem.


    However, under Liu Xiu''s command, there are still many people who have not been arranged.


    Generals such as Huang Zhong, Deng Zhan, Huang Hu and Zhao Yun, and counsellors such as Pang Tong, Ma Liang, Xu Shu and Lu Su all need to make arrangements.


    The arrangement of these people is the core and most important.


    Along the way, Liu Xiu''s generals and counselors played a great role.


    No matter what, Liu Xiu will definitely give them a second chance. It''s just that these people''s arrangements, even Yi Ji and Kuai Yue, didn''t work out for a moment.


    In the end, what official positions does Liu Xiu offer?


    Liu Xiu continued: "after the chaos of CAI Mao and the rebellion of Wuling county and Nanjun County, my official deeply realized that the weak control of Jingzhou at this stage is also the reflection of the lack of Jingzhou army. Therefore, I intend to set up three barracks in Jingzhou to control Jingzhou. "


    Three barracks!


    People in the hall were shocked by Liu Xiu''s words.


    Jingzhou has never done such a thing.


    In the reign of Liu Biao, the military strength of each county was controlled by the prefect of each county.


    In addition to Huang Zushan, the prefects of Jingzhou are good at fighting, because there are few wars in Changsha, Wuling, Lingling, and so on.


    Now that Liu Xiuyi has come to power, to build a military camp is obviously to enhance combat readiness.


    Kuai Yue understood that Liu Xiu did not adjust the prefects, but used the establishment of military barracks to weaken the military power of the Prefects. At the same time, take this opportunity to strengthen the control of the army and Jingzhou.


    Liu Xiu''s true confidants, such as Huang Zhong and Pang Tong, were the main forces of the three barracks.


    At the moment, Huang Zhong, Deng Zhan, Huang Hu and others are already full of expectations.


    Liu Xiu looked serious and said in a deep voice: "among the three barracks, the first army is stationed in Jiangling, responsible for guarding the whole Nanjun and even the security of the north of Jingzhou."


    Jiangling is the seat of Nanjun.


    Kuai Yue is sensitive and thinks of wenpin. Wenpin, as the prefect of Nanjun, now Liu Xiu''s first army is located in Jiangling. Does it have anything to do with wenpin?


    Liu Xiu continued: "Wen pin, Xu Shu listen to the order!"


    "Yes


    Wen pin and Xu Shu nodded, then stood up and went to the center of the hall.


    At this time, Wen pin was the most excited.


    Just now, he has been appointed governor of Nanjun. Now Liu Xiu called out him and Xu Shu again, and Xu Shu was a counselor, obviously he was in charge of the army. He not only served as the prefect of Nanjun, but also took charge of the first army.


    This kind of respect has moved wenpin''s heart.


    A scholar dies for a bosom friend!


    At the moment, Wen pin''s heart, only such an idea.

 Chapter 286

    Liu Xiu''s eyes were serious and said in a deep voice: "wenpin was the general of Anbei and took charge of the first army. Xu Shu was the military adviser and assisted wenpin in dealing with the military affairs."


    "No!"


    Wen pin and Xu Shu nodded and returned to the table.


    Xu Shu''s eyes were shining with fine light.


    In Xu Shu''s opinion, Liu Xiu is just a herdsman in Jingzhou, but he has directly appointed an Anbei general, which is obviously unreasonable. Because the appointment of Anbei, Annan, Anxi and Anton needed the approval of the imperial court.


    But Liu Xiu didn''t!


    On the other hand, Liu Xiu''s ambition has been revealed. Moreover, the first army is located in Jiangling County. Once Cao''s army goes south, this is the first battlefield, which is exactly what Xu Shu valued most.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "the second army is stationed in you County, responsible for the protection of the whole East of Jingzhou and the battle against Jiangdong."


    "Huang Zhong and Ma Liang listen to orders."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Huang Zhong and Ma Liang.


    "Yes


    Huang Zhong and Ma Liang stood up immediately.


    In terms of understanding of the situation in Changsha County, there is no doubt that Huang Zhong is the clearest. The person Liu Xiu wants to appoint must be Huang Zhong. Ma Liang has been in you County, and it is obviously the most appropriate to assist Huang Zhong.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "in the second army, Huang Zhong takes the post of general Anton and takes charge of the second army. Ma Liang served as a military adviser to assist Huang Zhong in handling military affairs. "


    "No!"


    Huang Zhong and Ma Liang answered and returned to the table.


    According to Liu Xiu, there are three barracks. Now the first and second armies have arrangements, leaving only the chief General of the third army. Deng Zhan''s heart, a burst of expectations.


    He was the first to follow Liu Xiu, and he also made great contributions to Liu Xiu. He should be the chief General of the third army.


    Deng Zhan''s heart is full of expectations. And the eyes of all the people around him also looked at him, obviously thinking that he was the best fit.


    Liu Xiu looked around the crowd and continued: "the third army, stationed in Qianling County of Wuling County, is responsible for the security of the whole west of Jingzhou and the fighting against Jingzhou barbarians."


    Kuai Yue was relieved when he heard the speech.


    Originally, Kuai Yue was most worried that the situation in Wuling county would not be controlled. Now that an army is stationed in Wuling County, the situation in Wuling county will be relaxed.


    Liu xiulang said: "Zhao Yun and Lu Su listen to the order."


    "Yes


    Zhao Yun and Lu Su stand up, salute Liu Xiuxing, and then stand up.


    In Deng Zhan''s mind, it exploded. His eyes showed an incredible look. Unexpectedly, the people Liu Xiu mentioned were Zhao Yun and Lu su.


    Deng Zhan''s eyes showed a trace of urgency, and his face was slightly heavy. But at this moment, Deng Zhan can only press down his anxious heart and wait quietly.


    Thunder, rain and dew are all grace, he can only wait.


    After all, Liu Xiu is the leader.


    Liu Xiu glanced at Deng Zhan without too much expression. Looking back at Zhao Yun and Lu Su, he said in a deep voice: "in the third army, Zhao Yun will be the general of Anxi, and Lu Su will be the military adviser to assist Zhao Yun in dealing with military affairs."


    "Thank you, Lord."


    Zhao Yun and Lu Su are very grateful to Liu Xiu.


    I didn''t expect that the trust Liu Xiu gave them would be so huge that they would take charge of the army directly.


    Zhao Yun''s heart is also very shocked.


    Liu Xiu arranged for him to be the chief General of the third army, which gave him real power and real sole command of the army.


    Compared with Liu Bei, Zhao Yun ranks behind Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Chen Dao. Although Zhao Yun is also valued by Liu Bei, he does not have much power. In addition, Liu Bei himself is trapped in Xinye, and Liu Bei does not have many rights, let alone them.


    At this moment, Zhao Yun suddenly felt that there was a feeling of another village. He was grateful to Zhang Ren. If it wasn''t for Zhang Ren''s enlightenment, he didn''t know how long it would take him to come out.


    Lu Su was even more excited when he heard Liu Xiu''s arrangement.


    Because Liu Xiu had promised before that he would not be allowed to take part in the war in Jiangdong. Now he is arranged in Wuling County, which obviously avoids the entanglement with Jiangdong. Even if it is made public, it has no effect.


    In addition, Lu Su had been in charge of Yizhou before, planning the layout of Yizhou, opening up the situation of Yizhou for Liu Xiu. Now Liu Xiu put him in Wuling County, which also considered his previous efforts.


    Wuling county and Yizhou border, which is also convenient for Lu su.


    In other words, Liu Xiu''s arrangement itself has the intention to let Lu Su continue to plan for Yizhou.


    Liu Xiuse said: "Zilong and Zijing, the barbarians in Wuling county are fierce and mountainous. After you go, you must be careful and think twice. I hope you can take root quickly. To ensure the stability of Wuling county. "


    "Don''t worry, my Lord. I will live up to his high expectations."


    Zhao Yun holds his fist and sets his ambition in his heart. He must make some achievements in Qianling county.Lu Su said: "Lord, I will help General Zhao to open up the situation." As soon as the situation opened up, Liu Xiu understood and Lu Su understood his intention. As soon as Liu Xiu waved his hand, Zhao Yun and Lu Su returned to their respective seats.


    At this time, there were Pang Tong, Deng Zhan and Huang Hu.


    These three people are Liu Xiu''s confidants.


    Pang Tong''s expression was calm and not in a hurry. Even he didn''t think it was appropriate to release it. It is the most suitable for him to stay with Liu Xiu.


    That''s the truth.


    In addition, Pang Tong also thought about the layout of Liu Xiu''s three military barracks.


    In Pang Tong''s view, this layout is a classic.


    Jiangling County, Qianling county and you county will form a triangle in which Jingzhou will be shrouded. Even if Huang Zu of Jiangxia had two hearts, Liu Xiu could quickly dispatch troops to pacify the rebellion.


    Under the triangle formation, Liu Xiu''s mastery of Jingzhou reached a new stage.


    There is no doubt that Liu Xiu''s hand has opened up an excellent beginning for him to take charge of Jingzhou and control the situation.


    Liu Xiu looked at the officials under his command and said in a deep voice: "the chief generals and military strategists of the three battalions are not dispatched or arranged by anyone. They are only responsible for their own officers and only accept their orders. At the same time, all the government affairs of the three battalions are reported by the military division. "


    This is a word, but also set off a wave.


    There are only four words in my heart.


    Liu Xiu''s skill is not simple!


    At this moment, Xu Shu, Lu Su and Ma Liang all showed a happy look on their faces.


    Because this sentence of Liu Xiu means that the position of the military division will actually be higher than that of the general. According to Liu Xiu''s arrangement, the army is dominated by the chief general, and the military division is only assisting. However, because all reports are made by military advisers, it means that to some extent, military advisers have greater power.


    In this way, the military division will not become the vassal of the general. In this way, Xu Shu, Lu Su and Ma Liang were able to give full play to their respective abilities without being constrained.


    After Wen pin, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun heard this, their facial expressions remained unchanged. Because in the view of the three, as long as they work together to deal with military affairs, even if there are differences, there are no problems.


    What Pang Tong considered was not the question of who was big and who was small in the army.


    Originally, the chief generals of the three battalions were all Liu Xiu''s confidants and only listened to Liu Xiu''s arrangement. However, in some cases, the army may be out of control and controlled by others. Now with Liu Xiu, the army is directly under Liu Xiu''s jurisdiction, and no one can intervene in the fight, which ensures that the military power is in Liu Xiu''s hands.


    In this way, Liu Xiu is the real controller.


    Seeing this, Yi Ji, Kuai Yue, Wang can and others were completely convinced.


    Originally, they thought Liu Xiu was calm and very old-fashioned. But now it seems that Liu Xiu''s way of doing things is not only old and spicy, but also evil.


    Such a way of handling, it is incomparable subtlety.


    After Liu Xiu made the arrangement, he continued: "the arrangement of the three camps is basically like this. You can discuss the details yourself. In addition to the three battalions, I plan to set up the flying tiger camp alone. The duty of the flying tiger camp lies in protecting the safety of Xiangyang, protecting the safety of the prefectural animal husbandry government, and protecting the safety of its own officials and Jingzhou officials. "


    "Huang Hu listens to the order."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell directly on Huang Hu.


    "The end will be here!"


    Huang Hu smiles, and his face looks excited.


    At the beginning, when he was fighting with the Jiangdong army in the front line, he made great contributions and was not appointed as a general. This time, Huang Hu''s heart was full of expectations.

 Chapter 287

    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "is the responsibility of the flying tiger camp clear?"


    With a solemn look on his face, Huang Hu Han Han replied, "Lord, I have already remembered that" the duty of the flying tiger camp is to protect Xiangyang, the prefectural government and Jingzhou officials. " Please don''t worry, my Lord. I will finish the task meticulously. "


    Liu Xiu nodded with satisfaction and said: "you use the golden hammer of leiguweng as a weapon. This golden hammer of leiguweng was used by General Ma Yuan of Fubo. Now, I will appoint you as general Fubo and take charge of the flying tiger camp. "


    "Thank you


    Huang Hu''s eyes were full of excitement.


    Finally, he''s a general, too.


    Huang Hu''s wish is to be a general. Now he is appointed a general. He is very happy. Huang Hu was already thinking about it. When he got back to his room, he must write a letter to his father immediately, telling him that he was appointed general Fubo, and making his father happy.


    Huang Hu returned to his seat, leaving only Pang Tong and Deng Zhan.


    At this moment, Deng Zhan is full of expectations.


    Those who should be rewarded have already been rewarded, and now it''s his turn. But in Deng Zhan''s heart, he didn''t know how Liu Xiu would be rewarded. Because the official positions that can be awarded have been awarded, and there are no good ones.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Deng Zhan and said in a deep voice, "Deng Zhan, listen to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Deng Zhan stood up and saluted.


    At this moment, Deng Zhan finally stood in the hall, accepting the eyes of the people.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice, "Deng Zhan, I have appointed you as the general of the imperial guards to take charge of the royal guards."


    "I will obey you!"


    In Deng Zhan''s heart, however, there was a moment of doubt. He didn''t know what the royal guards were. What Deng Zhan thought was that he would ask Liu Xiu about the royal guards after he came down to facilitate his work.


    Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan. As a good friend of his former life, he also carefully considered the arrangement of Deng''s exhibition site.


    There is no doubt that Deng Zhan''s martial arts are very good, and his swordsmanship is superb, so there are few opponents.


    However, Deng Zhan was much weaker in leading the army and fighting, or in the layout of military strategy, and could not continue to be in charge of the army. If you stay in the army, you can only be a general at the grassroots level.


    In the end, Deng Zhan was the only one who was harmed by staying in the army.


    Liu Xiu looked serious and said, "I''ll give you an explanation about the royal guards. The royal guards are composed of generals, captains and ordinary soldiers. The duty of the royal guards will be to supervise all officials in Jingzhou. In addition, the royal guards will set up a separate prison with the right to inspect, arrest and interrogate. In other words, in addition to the daily interrogation of the county government and the government, special cases will be handled by the royal guards. "


    With these words, Deng Zhan''s heart became fiery.


    This is real power!


    This is a great right!


    Deng Zhan''s heart is beating all the time. In his heart, there is no complaint. Because Liu Xiu gave him too much power.


    This is what Deng Zhan is good at.


    Deng Zhan was born as a Ranger. He knew the rumors very well.


    He''s better at detecting information.


    Deng Zhan was excited, but other officials changed their faces one after another. With the establishment of the royal guards, Liu Xiu hung a sharp sword on their heads.


    This sword will fall on their heads at any time.


    They looked at Liu Xiu with more fear.


    Yi Ji looked at Liu Xiu and could only sigh that he had met a demon. Liu Xiu''s grasp of rights was so powerful that it was hard for Yi Ji to refuse to accept any more.


    Liu Xiu continued: "the royal guards are also directly connected with our officials. They are only responsible for me."


    "Don''t worry, my Lord. I won''t let you down."


    In Deng Zhan''s eyes, there is a strong prospect, and he is very excited.


    At this moment, Yi Ji, Kuai Yue, Huang Zhong and others, whether civil servants or military generals, all looked at Deng Zhan with a little more scrutiny. There is no other reason. Deng Zhan is now shouldering the responsibility of picking on their thorns, which is the natural opposition to them.


    Liu Xiu nodded and waved to Deng Zhan to return to his seat.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Pang Tong and said, "Pang Tong listens to orders."


    "Yes


    Pang Tong nodded, got up and went to the center of the hall.


    Liu Xiuse said: "since I went to you County, I have relied on you to give me your advice. To defeat Tai Shici and Zhou Yu, I have your plan and layout. Now I am in charge of Jingzhou, and you will be the military adviser. "


    "Thank you


    Pang Tong''s eyes showed a look of excitement.


    This is exactly what he needs.


    Besides, staying in Xiangyang is the best.


    Once he was released to the military camp, he lived like an ascetic, without any freedom at all. Staying in Xiangyang is the best arrangement.After Liu Xiu finished the arrangement, he looked at the people under his command and said in a deep voice, "do you have any questions now


    "No!"


    All of you, answer in one voice.


    Liu Xiu nodded, looked at Yi Ji, and said, "Mr. Ji Bo, about the appointment of all officials, we will issue the appointment and related seal as soon as possible."


    "Yes, I will finish it in the shortest time."


    Yiji nodded, which was related to the great adjustment of Jingzhou officialdom and the implementation of Liu Xiu''s intention. Naturally, Yiji wanted to implement it immediately.


    Liu Xiu waved his men away and went to the backyard of zhoumu Prefecture. In the backyard, there was another person who didn''t attend, and that was Tarshis.


    Taishici came to Xiangyang from you County, but he was still stubborn and did not surrender, so Liu Xiu was very helpless with taishici.


    Kill LV Meng, kill him.


    After killing Tai Shici, Liu Xiu didn''t give up. He thought it was a pity.


    So now, Tess is the most difficult person to deal with.


    Liu Xiu came to taishici''s yard while taishici was reading a book. Seeing Liu Xiu coming, Tai Shici said with a smile, "Liu Jingzhou has come. Now, Liu Jingzhou is married and in charge of Jingzhou. It''s really enviable."


    The gags made Liu Xiu dumbfounded.


    Liu Xiu said: "Ziyi, even Lu Su has been used for me. Why don''t you want to?"


    When Tai Shici heard the speech, his pupils suddenly shrank. The news that Lu Su was not killed has always been highly confidential, and very few people know about it. Now Liu Xiu says it, and Tai Shici is also surprised, and asks, "isn''t Zi Jing dead?"


    "In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, I asked Zijing to feign death," Liu said


    Tai Shici suddenly looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Jingzhou is really powerful, but I won''t surrender. Liu Jingzhou, if you want to kill me, do it as soon as possible. "


    On hearing this, Liu Xiu sighed, "Ziyi, why are you suffering?"


    Tai Shici said with a smile, "Liu Jingzhou, I have made a choice. Now it''s you who should make the choice."


    Liu Xiu stares at Tai Shici and thinks slowly.


    Now it seems that it is impossible to persuade taishici to surrender.


    But in Liu Xiu''s heart, he hoped to attract Tai Shici, but this was a difficult thing. Liu Xiu thought for a long time and said, "Ziyi, if I put you back under Sun Quan''s command, would you like to go back?"


    "Yes!"


    Tai Shici didn''t even think about it. He answered directly.


    Immediately, Tai Shici was surprised and said, "do you really want to let me go?" The deep shock, as well as the inconceivable, grew up in his heart.


    In Tai Shici''s heart, he even thought Liu Xiu was crazy and wanted to let him go. Liu Xiu couldn''t have been unaware of the fact that if a tiger goes back to the mountain, there will be endless troubles.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I have only one condition. As long as you agree, I will let you go back."


    "You say it


    Tai Shici didn''t even think about it. He asked directly.


    Liu xiudao said: "when you return to Sun Quan''s command, you can no longer be hostile to Jingzhou. Can you avoid all the wars involving Jingzhou? "


    Tai Shici nodded and said, "yes!"


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "in that case, you can go now. I''ve told you to go down before you come. No one will stop you. Now you can go straight out of the city and go back to Jiangdong. "


    Taishici asked again, "Liu Jingzhou, do you really want to put me back?"


    Up to now, he still doesn''t believe it.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice, "if you want to stay, I welcome you. Unfortunately, you don''t want to. Let''s go now. " He didn''t have the heart to kill Tsz, but in the current situation, it is obviously very difficult to accept Tsz. So we can only let taishici return to Sun Quan and make a plan. As long as taishici is completely disappointed with Sun Quan, then accept taishici.


    "Goodbye!"


    Tess turned and quickly walked out of the yard.


    Liu Xiu looks at the person who disappears in the line of sight, dumbfounded, thinks how can he do such a stupid thing.


    But I did.


    However, Liu Xiu didn''t regret it, because next, he would win taishici again. At that time, it will be taken orally by Taishi Cixin.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from outside the yard.


    Liu Xiu suddenly widened his eyes, with an incredible look in his eyes.

 Chapter 288

    Tai Shici stood at the gate of the courtyard, his hands closed, and his face looked respectful. He bowed his hands and said, "Tai Shici, I''d like to see you."


    On Liu Xiu''s face, a smile appeared.


    I thought that taishici really left, but I didn''t expect that taishici came back and surprised Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu went up, picked up Tai Shici and said, "Ziyi, I''ll wait for you."


    Taishici said: "the Lord treats taishici like this. Even if taishici is a stubborn stone, it''s time to nod."


    As a matter of fact, he was quite clear about his situation.


    First, Tai Shici has been captured for such a long time. Now when he comes back to Sun Quan, it is inevitable that Sun Quan will have a knot in his heart and doubt Tai Shici. After all, it was Liu Xiu who took the initiative to release taishici, which was easy to be suspected.


    Second, taishici promised Liu Xiu not to take part in the war with Jingzhou, which meant that he could not take part in the war after he returned to Jiangdong. When Jiangdong and Jingzhou were in the same situation, taishici didn''t participate in it. It was impossible to challenge Sun Quan''s bottom line.


    Third, Liu Xiu has done his utmost to taishici, and even released taishici on his own initiative. Such a move moved his heart.


    For three reasons, Tai Shici finally chose to work for Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "Ziyi, I have completed all the appointments today. You are now submissive and have not made any contribution. I will give you a reward after you have made contributions in the war. For the time being, you will stay by my side and stand by. How about that? "


    Taishici said: "the end will listen to the Lord''s arrangement!"


    After a pause, he said, "Lord, there will be two requests."


    "What request?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Taishici replied: "first, the family of the general is still in Jiangdong. I hope the Lord will send someone to take them to Xiangyang. Second, although Mo Jiang worked for the Lord, he was well received by Sun Quan, so he begged not to take part in the war with Jiangdong. "


    Liu Xiu said, "yes!"


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "come on."


    "Young master!"


    Deng AI came in from outside the yard and bowed.


    Liu Xiu said, "send someone to invite Deng Zhan. I have something to tell you."


    "Yes


    Deng AI nodded, turned and left.


    Liu xiudao: "Ziyi, sit down and say. Let me tell you about the current situation in Jingzhou. "


    They sat down in the courtyard. Liu Xiu told taishici about today''s arrangement of Jingzhou and the current structure of Jingzhou, so that taishici could have a clear understanding.


    The more taishici listened, the more shocked he was, because Liu Xiu''s measures at the beginning of taking office were so powerful that he easily controlled the whole Jingzhou. As long as the military power is in Liu Xiu''s hands, Jingzhou will not be in chaos.


    After a short time, Deng Zhan came to the yard.


    Deng Zhan originally wanted to talk to Liu Xiu about the structure of the royal guards. Although he had some ideas, it was the first time for him to do so. He didn''t understand many things and wanted to ask Liu Xiu.


    It happened that Liu Xiu was looking for him.


    Deng Zhan arched his hand and said, "what can I do for you, my lord?"


    In front of Tai Shici, Liu Xiu said, "send someone to sneak into Jiangdong and take Ziyi''s family to Xiangyang. It must be done immediately, without any mistake. "


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan nodded. As soon as he heard this and looked at the expression of Tai Shici, he knew that Liu Xiu had accepted Tai Shici.


    Liu Xiu asked, "do you have any questions about the royal guards?"


    With these words, Deng Zhan felt more secure and said: "my Lord, at present, the main duty of the royal guards is to supervise the officials in Jingzhou, but the royal guards are an empty shelf. I want to recruit the royal guards in my humble position, but I have a myriad of ideas. I feel there is no place to make efforts. Please make it clear. "


    Liu xiudao: "the royal guards are empty for the time being, but it''s not difficult to supplement the staff, especially for you, it should be easier. For example, the Rangers in Xiangyang have excellent martial arts skills. They can get information in all directions and quickly get information. "


    After a pause, Liu said: "it''s OK to recruit people wantonly, but when recruiting people, we must avoid it. Everyone must be reliable. If the person you are looking for is easily bribed or even defected, you should know the consequences. "


    Deng Zhanxin awe inspiring, said: "I understand humble."


    Liu Xiu added: "the main duty of the royal guards is to supervise officials, but they are not allowed to arrest and interrogate without my order. Arrest and interrogation are required. My consent is required. In addition, the most important point is to inquire about the information of various princes, such as placing spies under them to inquire about the information. You should do all these as soon as possible, build up the royal guards, and make sure that Jingzhou has the best news. "


    "Yes


    After listening to Liu Xiu''s words, Deng Zhan''s heart became clearer.


    Next, Deng Zhan asked about what the royal guards were going to do, and then left.


    Liu Xiu also went back to his study to deal with government affairs.In the afternoon, Huang Hu came to Liu Xiu''s room in a hurry and asked the soldiers of Feihu camp what to do? Previously, Liu Xiu''s main troops were in Youxian County, and the military power was in Huang Zhong''s hands, which meant that the soldiers were all controlled by Huang Zhong.


    Huang Hu now wants to set up a flying tiger camp. He doesn''t even have a soldier under his command. He''s worried for a while.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Hu''s face and said, "tiger, there are no soldiers. Do you recruit yourself? Keep in mind that the flying tiger camp is responsible for the security of the prefecture and even Xiangyang. It must be the best of the best. It''s better to be short than excessive. Do you understand? It is necessary to ensure combat effectiveness. We can''t make up for it. "


    Huang Hu nodded and said, "third brother, how many people are in the flying tiger camp? How many soldiers are suitable? "


    Liu Xiu said: "the number of people should be at least one thousand. I don''t limit the number of people, but I''d rather be short than excessive. If I find that the soldiers are weak, they are all cowards, then don''t blame me for being impolite. "


    Huang Hu Han Han laughed and said: "brother three, don''t worry, Huang Hu is absolutely OK. For the time being, I will recruit 1000 soldiers based on 1000." After a pause, Huang Hu said, "third brother, if I write to my father and ask him to dispatch some elite to me, hehe, is that feasible?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed, and a light flashed in his eyes.


    This is a good way.


    The elite were drawn from Huang Zu''s command and formed into his soldiers.


    Liu Xiu knew that Huang Hu was a simple boy, but he was as clever as a fool. He had a reputation in his heart. He knew the weight of it, and Huang Hu was loyal and had no double heart. When Liu Xiu was in charge of Jingzhou, the troops under his command were insufficient. It was the quickest way to transfer troops from Huang Zu''s command.


    If Liu Xiu opens his mouth, it is obviously inappropriate, and it is easy for Huang zusheng to be unconvinced.


    But when Huang Hu spoke, the situation was different.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "yes, but when you write a letter, you must pay attention to the tone and wording. Don''t offend your father and let him have any ideas. Do you understand? "


    Huang Hu said with a smile, "don''t worry. I know that clearly."


    With these words, Huang Hu took out a letter directly from his arms and handed it to Liu Xiu. He said, "third brother, please help me. This is a letter I wrote to my father."


    Liu Xiugen didn''t take it apart. He gave it back to Huang Hu directly and said, "you can handle things. Brother three can rest assured."


    "Yes


    Huang Hu''s eyes, there is a trace of smile.


    After Huang Hu left the prefecture, Liu Xiu continued to deal with Jingzhou''s government affairs.


    Early the next morning, Zhao Yun, Lu Su, Huang Zhong, Ma Liang, Wen pin and Xu Shu came to see Liu Xiu. They were all ready to take up their posts. Liu Xiu encouraged the six and personally sent them away.


    At present, these six people are the most powerful forces under Liu Xiu''s command.


    As long as there are no problems with the army headed by Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Wen pin, Jingzhou will remain solid. In addition, once Cao Cao or Sun Quan invades, Liu Xiu can also send soldiers to resist at any time.

 Chapter 289

    Jiangdong, Wuxian.


    Wu Houfu!


    In the study, Zhang Zhao sits opposite Sun Quan and tells what he saw and heard in Jingzhou.


    The more Sun Quan listened, the heavier he felt.


    Liu Xiu was so cruel that the power of his crossbow and catapult was so huge. Before that, Liu Xiu had never used such weapons in the war with Jiangdong, but now it has undoubtedly played a great deterrent role.


    It''s terrible!


    In Sun Quan''s heart, such an idea came out.


    If Liu Xiu takes out such a weapon in the next battle, how can he resist it?


    Sun Quan took a deep breath and asked, "Mr. Zhang, did Liu Xiu ever say that he would attack Jiangdong?"


    Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "please tell me that Liu Xiu didn''t put forward such a statement when I was in Jingzhou. The old minister estimated that Liu Xiugang would not send troops to attack Jiangdong in a short time when he took over Jingzhou. "


    After a pause, Zhang Zhao said: "but the old minister thinks that once Liu Xiu has calmed down, he will send troops. Liu Xiu is in charge of Jingzhou, with Liu Bei and Cao Cao in the north and Jiangdong in the East. It is impossible for Liu Xiu to go north to attack Cao Cao. Therefore, Liu Xiu''s only goal is us. Because of this, when I was in Xiangyang, I contacted Zhuge Liang and Cheng Yu. "


    Sun Quan asked, "what''s the result?"


    Zhang Zhao replied: "as far as the current situation is concerned, we have a good consensus in our conversation with Zhuge Liang. After all, when Liu Xiu took charge of Jingzhou, Liu Bei was under more pressure. Liu Bei is a hero. He doesn''t want to be suppressed by Liu Xiu, so he can only resist. Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, is willing to join our alliance and attack Jingzhou with us. However, Cao Cao did not let go


    Mention Cheng Yu, Zhang Zhao is also a headache, the other side''s conditions are too harsh.


    Sun Quan asked, "why don''t you let go?"


    Zhang Zhao replied: "Cheng Yu wants the Lord to send hostages to Xu county, otherwise he will not form an alliance with the Lord. Cao Cao decided that the situation in Jiangdong was critical, so he let Cheng Yu bite him to death. "


    Sun Quan clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao has deceived people too much. He once threatened the Marquis and asked him to send hostages to Xu county. Now it''s impossible to do it again. "


    "Since Cheng Yu doesn''t agree with the alliance, he doesn''t care for the moment."


    "Now Liu Bei and we have a common goal, standing on the same line."


    "Mr. Zhang, send someone to contact Liu Bei, reach a consensus as soon as possible, and prepare to attack Liu Xiu."


    Sun Quan had an urgent look in his eyes and said, "Liu Xiu is adjusting Jingzhou and accumulating strength. We can''t slow down any more. We must speed up, set a time for sending troops as soon as possible, and then join forces to attack Jingzhou. If we don''t solve Liu Xiu, there is always a thorn in our heart. "


    "Yes


    Zhang Zhao nodded and wrote down the matter.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a knock on the door rang out of the room.


    Zhu Zhi''s voice came: "Lord, Zhu Zhi has something urgent to report."


    "Come in!"


    Sun Quan answered, and Zhu Zhi opened the door and went directly into the study.


    Zhu Zhi''s face was anxious and angry. After bowing to Sun Quan, he sat down in the room and said, "Lord, just got the news, Lu Su is not dead. Now he is the Third Army''s commander under Liu Xiu''s command."


    Brush!


    Sun Quan''s face turned red and red.


    A wave of anger rose from Sun Quan''s heart and circled in his chest. Sun Quan''s anger had no place to vent. He directly grabbed the inkstone on the desk and smashed it on the ground.


    "How can it be? Isn''t Lu Su dead? How did you become Liu Xiu''s military adviser? "


    Sun Quan was angry and roared.


    In Sun Quan''s mind, who is the most important of his generals?


    No doubt, it''s Lu Su!


    Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and even Zhu Zhi are not the most important people in Sun Quan''s mind. Because these people were important ministers of Tuogu before sun CE died, not promoted by Sun Quan.


    These people, naturally with a trace of estrangement.


    Lu Su is different. He was promoted by Sun Quan and is Sun Quan''s confidant.


    Once, Lu Su and Sun Quan had a long talk all night, talking about the situation, planning for him the next direction and arrangement of Jiangdong.


    It''s not polite to say that according to Sun Quan''s idea, Lu Su will take over Zhou Yu''s position in the future, and will be in charge of Jiangdong''s military power. But now, there is news that Lu Su is still alive, and that he is still working for Liu Xiu.


    When Lu Su died, Sun Quan was so sad that he even set up a tomb for Lu Su himself. Now, everything has changed and Lu Su has surrendered, which makes Sun Quan''s heart hard to accept.


    Sun Quan asked, "how can it be? How can Lu Su surrender?"


    In Sun Quan''s heart, he still didn''t believe it.


    Zhu Zhi replied: "my Lord, according to the information sent back, after Lu Su was taken away from Jiangdong by Liu Xiu, on the way, Liu Xiu deliberately spread the news of Lu Su''s feigning death. It is estimated that Liu Xiu should have made Lu Su hide. Now, Lu Su has come to the surface. In fact, when Lu Su died, his family disappeared. This is also a disguised proof that Lu Su had already surrendered to Liu Xiu. ""Lu Su, hateful, should be killed! It''s time to kill


    Sun Quan clenched his fist and thumped the table, but his anger could not be calmed.


    Zhang Zhao said in a deep voice: "Lord, this is not the time to get angry. Liu Xiu has a lot of talents under his command, and Liu Xiu himself is treacherous and cunning. Now, we have to find a way to deal with Jingzhou. "


    After a pause, Zhang Zhao asked, "Jun Li, you just mentioned a question. Lu Su became the commander of Liu Xiu''s third army. What''s the matter with the so-called Third Army? "


    Zhu Zhi replied, "now Liu Xiu has set up three new armies. The first army is headed by wenpin and stationed in Jiangling County, Nanjun County, with Xu Shu as its commander; the second army is headed by Huang Zhong and stationed in you County, Changsha County, with Ma Liang as its commander; the third army is headed by Zhao Yun and stationed in Qianling County, Wuling County, with Lu Su as its commander. "


    "These three armies are in the north, West and east of Jingzhou step by step. Liu Xiu decided that through this arrangement, he wanted to control Jingzhou. "


    Zhu Zhi continued: "at present, it is not clear about the strength of these three armies."


    After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhao showed a dignified look in his eyes and said, "Liu Xiu''s method is too old and spicy. It''s a monster. His move, in a short period of time, can control Jingzhou


    Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan and said, "my Lord, Liu Xiu is already moving fast. We can''t delay any longer. We can''t wait any longer. We must negotiate with Liu Bei as soon as possible, and then attack Jingzhou. "


    Sun Quan''s mind is full of Lu Su''s figure.


    Play it back in your head.


    Unfortunately, Lu Su has now surrendered.


    When Zhang Zhao saw Sun Quan''s appearance, he was worried and yelled out: "Lord, anger is useless. Please cheer up to meet Liu Xiu. As long as the Lord defeated Liu Xiu, Lu Su was captured again. At that time, bring Lu Su to the Lord. Ask Lu Su why he surrendered. "


    Sun Quan''s eyes brightened and he became angry. He nodded and murmured, "yes, we must defeat Liu Xiu and capture Lu Su alive."


    Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao and said, "Mr. Zhang, you don''t need to arrange for someone to go to Liu Bei. Go to Xinye and negotiate with Liu Bei in person. I authorize you to act conveniently. You can make any decision. As long as it turns out, we must make an alliance with Liu Bei to attack Liu Xiu. "


    In Sun Quan''s mind, he only wanted to defeat Liu Xiu.


    Up to now, under Sun Quan''s command, Zhang Dan and Zhou Tai have died, Lu Su has fallen, Tai Shici has been captured alive, and Lu Meng has not been heard from. It can be said that it has dealt a great blow to Sun Quan.


    Zhang Zhao replied, "don''t worry, my Lord. I''m sure I''ll finish my task." Standing up, Zhang Zhao bows to Sun Quan, then turns around and leaves the study.


    After Zhang Zhao left, Sun Quan looked at Zhu Zhi and said, "Jun Li, send the news to the governor of Dadu, so that the governor of Dadu can prepare for the war and be well prepared."


    "No!"


    Zhu Zhi nodded, then turned back.

 Chapter 290

    Prime Minister''s house, hall.


    Cao Cao was sitting upright, and his civil servants and military generals took their seats.


    During Cheng Yu''s visit to Xiangyang, Cao Cao abolished Sangong and restored the prime minister. Today, Cao Cao is the prime minister and dominates the government.


    The government affairs of the imperial court were decided by Cao Cao. I


    loyal to the power of the little emperor Liu Xie, once again suffered a huge blow, and the threat to Cao Cao was even smaller.


    As the envoy to Jingzhou, Cheng Yu has the most voice. "The Prime Minister of Liu Jingzhou said," I think he is more threatened by what he saw and heard in the past


    "However, there are advantages and disadvantages. After Liu Xiu''s threat is greater, Liu Bei and Sun Quan are most directly affected."


    "Now, Jingzhou and Jiangdong should be at war soon."


    "The old man suggested that the prime minister should not send troops for the time being, continue to train the water army, and then sit in the valley tiger fight, and let Sun Quan, Liu Bei, and Liu Xiu fight. After their fight, the prime minister will sit and reap the benefits."


    Cheng Yu stroked his beard and said, "although Liu Xiu is a great threat, especially the Yellow crossbow, cavalry and even the catapult used by Liu Xiu''s soldiers are very powerful. But the prime minister coerced the general trend of the north, and Liu Xiu could not resist the prime minister''s army. "


    Cao Cao nodded slightly, his voice rang out in the hall, and said: "Mr. Zhong De, according to your last words, since the prime minister has threatened the general situation, Liu Xiu can''t resist it. Why don''t you directly wave troops to the south to defeat Liu Xiu and Liu Bei? Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Isn''t that a waste of time? "


    Cheng Yu said: "although the prime minister is sure to win, since there is a better way to minimize the loss, why not do it? Prime minister, I''d like to stay on the sidelines for a while. "


    Xun Yu opened his mouth and said, "prime minister, before fengxiao''s death..."


    Cao Cao directly interrupted Xun Yu''s words and said, "Wen Ruo, if you are filial, you are very clear about yourself. You know that is the safest way. But before fengxiao died, the most important thing was to win Jingzhou. His last wish must be fulfilled in the shortest time. Therefore, we do not choose to attack Yizhou for the time being, but directly prepare to attack Jingzhou. "


    After a pause, Cao Cao said: "the land of Bashu is mountainous and steep. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you want to attack Yizhou, you don''t know how much time it will take. Therefore, there is only one goal now, that is to attack Jingzhou. "


    Although his ministers tried their best to persuade him, Cao Cao directly denied it.


    Now, Cao Cao only wants to attack Jingzhou.


    After sweeping Yuan Shao, Cao Cao has been invincible in all these years. Even the northern Wuhuan, Xianbei and other foreigners have bowed to the throne, contributing to Cao Cao''s arrogance.


    A small Jingzhou, in Cao Cao''s eyes, is not enough to fear.


    Besides, he has made enough preparations.


    Seeing that persuasion is useless, Xun Yu said, "the prime minister has decided to attack Jingzhou, so the training of the water army must be speeded up again. When does the prime minister decide to attack Jingzhou?"


    Cao Cao said, "send troops in the second half of the year at the latest!"


    In a word, set the time.


    Xun Yu replied, "the humble Council will supervise the training of the water army according to the time set by the prime minister. At the same time, it will send a letter to general Cao Ren to let him pay attention to the situation of Jingzhou at any time."


    "Newspaper!"


    At this time, a soldier quickly came in and handed a letter to Jia Xu.


    Jia Xu opened it and looked surprised. Then he handed it to Cao Cao and said, "Lord, there''s new news in Jingzhou. After Liu xiuxin got married, he adjusted the officials and the army in Jingzhou. "


    Cao Cao took the letter paper, and then quickly scanned it.


    After reading the letter, Cao Cao said simply, "now that you all know Liu Xiu''s actions, you should understand why the prime minister is in a hurry to attack Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu is very cunning, but it is undeniable that he is a very intelligent man. "


    After a pause, Cao Cao said: "Liu Xiu controls Jingzhou through the army. In a very short time, he can form a huge force. Liu Xiu is bound to cause us great trouble. "


    Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and said, "Wen Ruo, we need to speed up."


    "Yes


    Xun Yu nodded, his heart heavy. The situation in Jingzhou changed too fast, and after Liu Xiu took charge of Jingzhou, he was stronger and more difficult than Liu Biao.


    ¡­¡­


    Xinye, tinghou mansion.


    When Liu Bei learned about Liu Xiu''s actions in Jingzhou, he was even more worried. In particular, Zhuge Liang''s previous report about Liu Xiu''s heavy weapons made Liu Bei feel powerless.


    It''s too hard to beat Liu Xiu!


    Even in the face of Cao Cao, Liu Bei was able to keep the color of Mount Tai in front of him, but in the face of Liu Xiu, Liu Bei felt powerless, because Liu Xiu''s moves were always extremely treacherous and could never use common sense to speculate, which made Liu Bei unable to resist.What''s more, Zhao Yun''s affairs also gave Liu Bei a huge blow.


    At the beginning, after Liu Bei sold Zhao Yun, he still hoped that Zhao Yun would be loyal to him, waiting for him to save him. In a twinkling of an eye, Zhao Yun surrendered and became the chief General of the third army and general Anxi under Liu Xiu.


    Obviously, Zhao Yun can no longer be loyal to Liu Bei.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A burst of rapid footsteps, suddenly sounded from outside the study.


    After a while, Zhuge Liang said, "my Lord, envoy Zhang Zhao of Jiangdong has arrived. It''s time to meet him."


    Liu Bei put down his books, opened the door, looked at Zhuge Liang, and said, "Kong Ming, Zhang Zhao''s visit must be for the sake of unity. Have you thought about it? What are the conditions? "


    Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "don''t worry, Lord. I''ll take care of everything."


    "Good!"


    Liu Bei nodded and took Zhuge Liang to the hall.


    In the hall, Zhang Zhaohe and Zhu Gejin sat upright.


    At the beginning of this mission to Xinye, Zhang Zhao planned to come alone, but he thought that Zhuge Jin was Zhuge Liang''s elder brother. With Zhuge Jin present, the atmosphere of negotiation between the two sides might be more harmonious, so he brought Zhuge Jin.


    Soon, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang entered the hall and took their seats.


    Liu Bei said with a smile, "Mr. Zibu, this time I''m here, but for the sake of alliance?"


    "Exactly!"


    Zhang Zhao nodded without beating around the bush.


    Zhuge Liang answered and said, "I dare to ask Mr. Zibu, how does Jiangdong unite with us to attack Jingzhou?"


    Zhang Zhao said: "it''s very simple. On the east side of the Yangtze River, there are two ways to fight. One way to attack Chaisang, from Jiangxia to Xiangyang; the other way to attack Changsha, to the hinterland of Jingzhou. "


    In this arrangement, Jiangdong has done its best and has used its greatest strength.


    The two armies mobilized all the troops of Jiangdong.


    Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Mr. Zibu, to tell you the truth, according to the Lord''s consideration, he plans to go down from Xinye to Xiangyang."


    "From Xinye to Xiangyang, the distance is very close. In a very short time, we can annihilate Liu Xiu."


    "However, although this consideration is easy, my Lord''s biggest problem now is food and weapons. Liu Xiu had given Xinye food before, but it was not enough to support the long-term war. Every time, Liu Xiu only gave food for two months to ensure that there was no shortage of food for the army, but he never stored food, so that the army did not last long. "


    Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "if we don''t have enough food, we''re going to attack Xiangyang. Because time is not allowed. "


    These words made their demands clear in an instant.


    Zhang Zhao understood Zhuge Liang''s request. He nodded and asked, "uncle Liu, how much food are you short of?"


    Zhuge Liang said: "at least 80000 stone grain."


    After a pause, Zhuge Liang said: "Mr. Zibu, when Liu Xiu just took charge of Jingzhou, Liu Qi issued a notice and became a state herdsman, why did he respect Liu Xiu?"


    Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "I don''t know what happened."


    Zhuge Liang explained: "it''s because of the grain. After Liu Biao was alive, the Lord borrowed 100000 stone grain from Liu Xiu. At that time, I thought that there was no problem with 100000 stone grain. However, when he went to Xiangyang for negotiation, Liu Xiucai said that there was a problem with all the 100000 stone grains and they could not be eaten. "


    With a look of regret, Zhuge Liang said: "because of the food problem, the army suddenly lacked food, and the morale of the soldiers fell, so that they had to strike the war, and Wuling county and Nanjun county were lost."


    After hearing this, Zhang Zhao thought about it and said, "Mr. Kong Ming, there is not enough grain in Jiangdong. It must be impossible to take out 80000 stone grain at one time. The LORD sent me to Xinye and authorized me to take full responsibility. When I know the situation in Jiangdong, I will take out 30000 stone grains at most. This is the limit. "


    Zhuge Liang took a look at Liu Bei. Seeing that Liu Bei nodded, he said, "some of the 30000 stone grains are less. But in order to attack Liu Xiu, we gave up. Duke Zhang, when does Marquis Wu plan to send troops? "


    Zhang Zhao said in a deep voice: "naturally, the faster the better. When can uncle Liu send troops?"


    Zhuge Liang said: "it''s the first day of may at the latest. After all, some of the soldiers under the Lord''s command have just been recruited and have no combat experience, so they need to be trained. Almost two months later, they sent troops to attack Liu Xiu. "


    Zhang Zhao said directly, "since that''s the case, it''s decided to attack Liu Xiu on the first day of May."


    "Good!"


    Liu Bei nodded, and once again he had high morale in his heart.

 Chapter 291

    Wuling County, located in the west of Jingzhou, borders Yizhou.


    The County Council is located in Linyuan county.


    Linyuan county is close to Changsha County, not desolate. It is the most prosperous county in Wuling county. But Linyuan county is prosperous, and the other surrounding counties, as well as the more remote counties, such as Qianling County, are poor.


    After Kuai Yue took office, he looked up all the materials of Wuling county. After reading them, he felt heavy in his heart, and there was no light at all. According to the information, the people in Wuling county are very poor and have a very hard life.


    On the one hand, Wuling county is full of mountains and forests and wild animals, which makes the land difficult to cultivate; on the other hand, Wuling county''s wuximan often come out to make trouble, plunder the people and attack the city, which makes the people unable to live and work in peace and contentment.


    In such a situation, Kuai Yue can''t just sit by.


    It''s just that it''s almost impossible to change overnight.


    The only way is to work hard and change the poverty of Wuling County bit by bit. Therefore, the first thing Kuai Yue did after he took office was to reclaim farmland and cut down trees.


    In addition, Kuai Yue also found people from the Kuai family, Pang family and Huang family, mobilized the strength of the three families, transported grain and other materials to Wuling County, and accelerated the reclamation of Wuling county.


    On the one hand, Kuai Yue accelerated the development of agriculture, while punishing corrupt officials.


    The people of Wuling county were very calm and praised Kuai Yue.


    For a moment, it turned out to be a scene of Dazhi.


    During Jin Xuan''s term of office, he turned a blind eye to the situation of Wuling county and only cared about his own enjoyment, regardless of the people''s life and death, so that the people''s life was very difficult. Now, Kuai Yue has been able to cultivate land continuously, so that the people will not be hungry.


    In this way, the people are more convinced of Kuai Yue.


    With the development of Wuling County, the news soon spread to Wuxi Man''er, which is located in the north of Youyang County.


    Deep in the mountains, in a village.


    This cottage is very crude and simple. The hall of the cottage is just supported by thick trees, with thatch on it to keep out the rain. There is not even a tile.


    The leader had dark skin, dark and reddish complexion, strong body, rough and powerful face.


    He was dressed in animal skin and sat on top with fierce eyes.


    This man is shamoko, the king of wuximan.


    The so-called "wuximan" refers to the five tribes of xiongxi, Jixi, Chenxi, Youxi and Wuxi. These people have lived in the upper reaches of the Yuan river for generations, distributed beside the rivers, so they are called wuximan.


    This time, shamoko called together people from different tribes to discuss the affairs, just for the sake of governing Wuling County after Kuai Yue took office.


    Shamoko looked at the people under his command and said in a deep voice: "I heard that Wuling county has changed a dog officer. Today''s dog officials have a lot of financial resources. They continue to reclaim land and give food back to the people. "


    "Coincidentally, we are short of food. So the king planned to gather up to attack Youyang County, plunder part of the people, and then send people to coerce the dog officials in Linyuan county to exchange grain, cloth and weapons. "


    Shamoko split his mouth and said confidently: "since he is rich, he also loves the Han people. When he knows that the people are arrested, he will not sit back and ignore them. What do you think?"


    The leader of xiongxi Tribe said: "I support manwang''s decision. We haven''t been out for nearly three months since the last robbery. The boys stayed at home all day, shouting for women and meat and wine. When we go to Youyang this time, we must grab more women and good wine and meat. "


    The head of Jixi Tribe said: "only recently, there is another news that a Han Army has been stationed in Qianling County, southwest of Youyang County. This army is still recruiting soldiers. If we go to attack Youyang County, will we be attacked by the Han army? "


    Although Wuxi wanted to plunder the people, in the final analysis, he was still afraid of the Han army.


    The leader of Chenxi tribe yelled: "I''m afraid of farts. Now the Han Army are all cowards. Have you forgotten our attack on Youyang County last year? At that time, the magistrate of Youyang County was so scared when he saw the king that he immediately told us not to attack the county. He also took the initiative to deliver good wine, meat and grain. "


    The leader of Youxi tribe added: "yes, yes, and the year before last. At that time, Jin Xuan led the soldiers to encircle us. Unexpectedly, he came to the mountains and was encircled by us instead. In the end, we chased him to Linyuan county and his hometown. Jin Xuan was too scared to send any more troops. These are facts. "


    "All quiet!"


    With a wave of his hand, he gave the order directly.


    Suddenly, the hall was quiet.


    Shamoko had a high prestige. His sharp eyes swept the people under his command and said in a deep voice, "no more shouting. I have decided to attack Youyang County directly. There are 1000 soldiers in xiongxi, 1000 soldiers in Jixi, 1000 soldiers in Chenxi, 1000 soldiers in Youxi and 1000 soldiers in Wuxi. "


    After that, shamoko asked, "five tribes, how many soldiers are there?"The leader of Jixi tribe didn''t want to think about it. He said directly, "report back to the king. There are five tribes. There are five thousand people in all. Yes, there are five thousand people


    Shamoko nodded with satisfaction: "very good. With 5000 people, it''s already a huge force. Besides, five thousand more were sent out by the king. How many people are there now? "


    Jixi tribe immediately said: "ten thousand people!"


    When he spoke, he secretly despised him. He didn''t know how to count. He was the king of barbarians.


    However, when the leader of the Huixi tribe thought that all the people who opposed shamoko were killed by shamoko, and then cut off their heads and used them as wine pots, he did not dare to fight against shamoko.


    With a wave of his hand, he said, "get ready immediately. In the afternoon, we''ll be out of the mountain."


    "Yes


    Before noon, shamoko let the people under his command eat, and then took 10000 soldiers to Youyang County.


    Ten thousand troops in Youyang County are irresistible.


    Moreover, the barbarians are ferocious and crazy.


    When the magistrate of Youyang County saw his old acquaintance shamoko, he didn''t dare to resist and directly opened the city to surrender. Shamoko with the barbarians into the city, wantonly plunder, robbed a large number of people. Shamoke wanted to grab food, but because Youyang County was also extremely poor, with only a few kilos of food, shamoke grabbed it.


    After taking away the people and food, shamoko swaggered away, and then told the magistrate of Youyang County to tell Kuai Yue the news and let Kuai Yue exchange the food.


    The news reached Linyuan county and caused a shock immediately.


    Kuai Yue rushed to Youyang County from Linyuan county. After inquiring about the situation, he directly dismissed the magistrate of Youyang County. As a magistrate, it''s unforgivable to give up resistance.


    As a county magistrate, it is unforgivable to watch his own people being captured.


    Kuai Yue stayed in Youyang County for a day to appease the people, and then quickly went to Qianling county. To defeat wuximan, it''s up to Zhao Yun''s army.


    Zhao Yun came to Wuling county from Xiangyang and took 10000 soldiers from Xiangyang.


    These 10000 soldiers are the foundation.


    After arriving in Qianling County, Zhao Yun wantonly recruited soldiers, expanded his strength, and then trained them. So far, there are 20000 soldiers under Zhao Yun''s command, and they are all elite.


    Kuai Yue came to the military camp in Qianling county. After finding Zhao Yun, he said straight to the point: "general Zilong, Wuxi is a mess. Now, I have to exchange grain for the common people. In this matter, you have to send troops to destroy wuximan. As long as wuximan is completely eliminated, the threat brought by wuximan can be relieved. "


    After a pause, Kuai Yue said: "otherwise, this time we will give food, next time wuximan will plunder the people. Once they have tasted the sweet, but do not give a head-on blow, Wuling county can not be peaceful


    Zhao Yun nodded and said, "governor Kuai is right. Wuximan must be eliminated. But how to exterminate it needs a constitution. "


    Kuai Yue calmed down. He looked at Zhao Yun and said, "general Zilong, on the way here, I decided to lead the snake out of the cave after thinking about it."


    Zhao Yun asked: "how to lead the snake out of the cave?"

 Chapter 292

    Kuai Yue said: "I have checked the situation of wuximan. Wuximan has always been mysterious. It is said that it is mysterious. In fact, it is difficult to find their old nest, because their old nest has been hidden in the mountains and forests, and they can''t find the direction."


    "For this reason, if we can''t find the real location of wuximan, we can''t encircle wuximan."


    "Especially deep in the mountains and forests, there are traps everywhere, and even fierce animals and insects. It is very difficult to encircle and suppress them. So. The only way is to lure the other side out and then annihilate them at one stroke. "


    "The lure is food."


    "According to the news that wuximan attacked Youyang County, they captured a large number of people. They sent out a message to save the people. They had to exchange grain for it. "


    "I''ll prepare a batch of grain, and then I''ll fix the place to exchange grain with the other party, and then I''ll deliver it."


    "When the time comes, general Zilong, you will lead your troops and lay an ambush early."


    "As long as the other party gets out of the forest, the wuximan will be slaughtered."


    Kuai Yue''s eyes sparkled with wisdom.


    When Jin Xuan was in office, he once encircled and suppressed wuximan, but he failed. On the contrary, he was chased and defeated by wuximan.


    The only way to solve this problem is to lead the snake out of the hole.


    As long as wuximan comes out, everything will be easy.


    After hearing this, Zhao Yun carefully considered Kuai Yue''s strategy. A moment later, Zhao Yun said: "for the time being, this is the only strategy. I agree with the arrangement of Kuai Tai Shou. After contacting wuximan, Kuai Tai Shou has determined the location, and I will send troops immediately. "


    Kuai Yue arched his hand and said, "thank you, general Zilong."


    Zhao Yun said: "our duty in Wuling county is to solve the problem of barbarians in Wuling county. Now, wuximan has taken the initiative to plunder, and I have not exterminated the barbarians. "


    Worried about the situation, Kuai Yue left and returned to Youyang County.


    Back in Youyang County, Kuai Yue sent someone to spread the news that he had arrived in Youyang County, waiting for wuximan to come to negotiate. Because Kuai Yue couldn''t find the other party''s home, he couldn''t take the initiative to get in touch, so he had to spread the news and wait for the other party to come.


    A day later, King shamoko appeared.


    Shamoko rode a black horse with a stick of Tribulus Terrestris on his shoulder and went to the county. Shamoko had a haircut, a weird face, and animal skin clothes.


    As soon as he appeared, the soldiers at the gate of the city stepped forward to stop him.


    Shamoko was not afraid and roared: "I''m here to find the dog officer. Let him meet me outside the city." After that, shamoko found a stone outside the city and sat down.


    The flower of Tribulus terrestris clattered on the ground.


    Accompanied by two Wuxi man warriors stood guard, head high, eyes proud, a pair of toe high gas. They followed shamoko, and every time they plundered the city of the Han people, they succeeded easily. In their eyes, Han people are the symbol of weakness.


    Kuai Yue got the news in the city and quickly went out of the gate.


    At the gate of the city, Kuai Yue sees shamoko. Seeing that shamoko was strong and powerful, Kuai Yue praised him for being a strong warrior.


    Unfortunately, how can you be a thief?


    Kuai Yue''s heart is boiling, but his face is smiling. He walked up to shamoko and said, "how do you address Kuai Yue, the prefect of lower Wuling county?"


    Shamoke patted his chest and said in a loud voice: "shamoke, my king, is the king of Wuxi. Are you the official of the Han people who took the place of Jin Xuan


    Kuai Yue was not angry and said, "yes, I took over Jin Xuan''s official position."


    Shamoko snorted and said, "is the grain ready?"


    Kuai Yue was calm and asked, "how much food does man Wang need?"


    "At least 300000 Jin, oh no, at least 500000 Jin of grain." Shamoko thought that the newly appointed dog official must have money and food, so he simply asked the lion to extort 500000 yuan of food.


    Kuai Yue said with a smile: "manwang, I''m afraid it''s not easy to carry 500000 Jin of grain. Moreover, it is difficult to collect 500 thousand jin of grain in a short time. You see, can you spare some time? "


    Shamoko thought for a moment. He thought that there was some truth in what the dog official said. If he sent 10000 soldiers to carry 500000 Jin of grain, it would be very difficult.


    Shamoko said, "I will give you three days. Three days later, we collected 500000 Jin of grain. At that time, the king led his son Lang to carry grain in Youyang County. Remember, it''s in Youyang County. If you cheat, you should know that wuximan''s children are not vegetarians. They are brave and valiant. They will directly slaughter the city and even kill Linyuan County, depending on how you end up. Five hundred thousand catties of grain is a small amount for you. Don''t lose a lot for a small amount. "


    Kuai Yue sneered in his heart. Three days later, you will die. However, Kuai Yue said: "Man Wang is at ease. I just think that man Wang''s robbery is not the way. And Man Wang, you see, the living environment in the mountains is not good. When it''s windy and rainy, it''s very uncomfortable. How about manwang going out to work for my lord"Bullshit!"


    Shamoko roared, a look of disdain.


    In shamoko''s opinion, he has food and drink in the mountains, and he is at ease. There are many beautiful women for him to play with. Once out of the mountain, he would be in charge, and he would not like to.


    Kuai Yue didn''t force him either. He waved his hand and said, "since manwang doesn''t want to, I don''t want to force him. Three days later, manwang led his soldiers to Youyang County to get food. "


    "I hope you don''t cheat me," said shamoko


    Kuai Yue replied, "if you cheat anyone, you dare not cheat manwang."


    Shamoko nodded, turned over and got on the horse, and said in a loud voice: "it''s better not to send someone to follow the king. Before, Jinxuan had sent someone to follow the king. Not only did he not follow the king, but he was killed by him. "


    Kuai Yue returned: "I believe in manwang, so I won''t send someone."


    Shamoko nodded and left with two of his entourage.


    Looking at shamoko''s back, Kuai Yue''s eyes showed a cold look. He didn''t send someone to track it because it was very difficult. On the one hand, shamoko is not easy to deal with; on the other hand, shamoko lives in the mountain forest, and the environment in the mountain forest is not easy to trace. After entering the mountain forest, he is easily ambushed by shamoko.


    After returning to the county government, Kuai Yue immediately told Zhao Yun the news and asked him to dispatch troops immediately.


    Shamoko returned to the stronghold and quickly gathered the leaders of the tribes in Wuxi.


    With a triumphant expression on his face, shamoko said in a loud voice: "this time I will go to see the dog officer. He promised to hand over 500000 Jin of grain in three days. The dog officer is a coward. Don''t worry. When Wang returned to the stronghold, he didn''t send anyone to follow him. It can be seen that he is even more afraid of us. This time, 500, 000 catties of grain must be in hand. "


    The leader of xiongxi Tribe said, "king, the captured women have been divided up. What can we do about this?"


    Shamoko snorted: "give me the order. All the women captured this time must be returned. Why return it? It''s not that I''m afraid of dog officials, it''s because I let dog officials think I''m honest. "


    "Next time, if we rob the common people, the dog official will think that food can be exchanged."


    Speaking of this, shamoko said with a smile: "but next time, our king will not only need food, but also weapons, bows and arrows, silk and wine. I will make him submit step by step, so that he has to obey my arrangement. "


    The leader of Jixi Tribe said: "Your Majesty is wise!"


    The rest of the people touted him one after another. For a moment, he was even more elated.


    Shamoko waved his hand and said, "this time there are 500000 Jin of grain. We must have enough soldiers to escort. According to the last deployment, each tribe has 1000 people, and the king has 5000 people. Ten thousand people went to Youyang County, so that the dog officer would not play any tricks. "


    The leader of Jixi Tribe said, "king, there are 2000 people in our tribe."


    The leader of Chenxi tribe also said, "king, we have 2000 people."


    The rest of the people also said they were willing to send more soldiers. They all proposed that they would send 2000 soldiers, obviously for the sake of food. The more troops are dispatched, the higher the proportion of grain is divided.


    Shamoko licked his lips, and his face showed a fierce dark color. After a long time, he said, "well, each of your tribes has 2000 people, plus our king''s 5000 people. Fifteen thousand people will go to Youyang County together. "


    "Yes


    After hearing this, the leaders of each tribe burst into laughter.

 Chapter 293

    Three days later, Youyang County.


    Kuai Yue mobilized 500000 Jin of grain in three days, but they were all coarse grain. This kind of food is cheap, and it is not difficult to transfer it from Linyuan county. The reason for the real dispatch of food is to make shamoko feel at ease. If shamoko arranged spies to inquire about the news and found that Kuai Yue did not dispatch food, he would not be fooled.


    Kuai Yue really sent someone to dispatch 500000 Jin of grain, and when he had done enough, shamoko was sure to hit the mark. It''s just the granary that leads shamoko to. That''s different.


    Half a million jin of grain is not in it.


    Kuai Yue stood on the tower, waiting quietly.


    Beside Kuai Yue, Zhao Yun stands tall.


    Kuai Yue said: "general Zilong, according to the situation of wuximan''s attack on Youyang County last time, wuximan''s troops are at least tens of thousands. How many people will come this time is unknown. This time, you only mobilized 10000 people to Youyang County. Can you defeat the other party? "


    Zhao Yun''s eyes were full of self-confidence, and said: "after occupying all the advantages of time, place and people, if we send another 10000 troops, if we can''t eliminate wuximan, we won''t have to garrison Wuling County, and we will ask the Lord to replace them. Governor Kuai, you just need to bring wuximan into the city and let me arrange everything. "


    Kuai Yue nodded and said nothing more.


    Although Kuai Yue is quite proficient in marching and arraying, Zhao Yun has Zhao Yun''s ideas, and he will not interfere in Zhao Yun''s affairs, otherwise it is easy to cause conflicts.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a denouncer came from outside the city.


    Chihou soon went into the city, ran up from the downstairs of the city, stood beside Zhao Yun and reported: "general, wuximan has appeared on the official road. Ten miles away from the county. Because the other party just came out of the forest, we can''t judge how many people there are for the time being. "


    Zhao Yun nodded and said, "explore again!"


    After Chihou left, Zhao Yun said, "from the information that the soldiers have investigated, madam governor Kuai. Ten miles away, there is at least one way to wuximan''s old nest. But I looked at the map of Youyang County, and the mountains in this area are connected into one piece. When I enter the mountain forest, I can''t trace it at all. It can only be said that ten miles away is an exit. "


    Kuai Yue said, "the most cunning thing about wuximan is that they hide their old nest."


    After a quarter of an hour, another Chihou quickly came to the city tower and reported: "general, wuximan is about five miles away from the city. Roughly speaking, the number of wuximan is about 1450. Besides, there are about a thousand people who are being coerced by them. "


    "I see. Let''s explore again!"


    Zhao Yun nodded and looked excited.


    Fourteen or five thousand people are a large force. If these wuximan are captured, it will be a great help to Zhao Yun. Moreover, it will be a great blow for Wuxi man to solve so many barbarians, and their harm will be completely removed.


    As time went by, about a quarter of an hour later, shamoko led the army of wuximan to appear outside the city.


    Kuai Yue said: "general Zilong, the name of the man who is holding a black horse and riding a bone of Tribulus terrestris is shamoko, the king of wuximan. You act according to the circumstances. I''ll go down to see him and lead him into the city. "


    "Good!"


    Zhao Yun nodded and watched Kuai Yue go down the tower.


    Kuai Yue took dozens of soldiers to wait outside the city gate. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers to open the city gate.


    When shamoko arrived at the gate, Kuai Yue said with a smile, "manwang, I have piled up all the 500000 Jin grain in the granary in the city. The last time manwang came to Youyang County, he had already been to the granary. Now he can directly lead his troops to Youyang County. But can the exchanged people be handed over to our officials first? "


    After hearing this, shamoke laughed. He rubbed the stubble under his jaw and nodded his head with satisfaction: "officer dog, you have done a good job. I appreciate you very much. The people are behind. You take the troops to receive the people in the rear, and the king goes into the city to get food. "


    "Boys, enter the city."


    Shamoko ordered that in an instant, fifteen thousand streams poured into the city very quickly.


    For wuximan, food is life, even the root of everything.


    Now there are 500000 Jin of grain in the granary of the city, which is a pie from the sky. The soldiers of various tribes, such as Taixi, Chenxi and Youxi, had been ordered to carry as much grain as possible. After getting shamoko''s order, I couldn''t help but rush into the city.


    He rode into the city with a group of people. Now, the people are finally free, and they are all relieved to wail.


    Kuai Yue and the people were outside the city, and Wuxi entered the city very quickly.


    In about half a quarter of an hour, all the fifteen thousand Ximen entered the city. Shamoko walked behind and entered the city.


    Zhao Yunyan watched the five stream men rush into the city without attacking immediately.


    This group of wuximan has been dazzled by grain. One by one, they all rushed to the direction of the granary. They had already lost their senses.


    When all the wuximan disappeared in sight, Kuai Yue appeased the people outside the city, and Zhao Yun ordered to close the city gate, and then with a group of relatives, he went to the direction of the granary.Granary is located in the northwest corner of the county, where all the grain is stored.


    Shamoko arrived at the granary, standing in the Liang Cang, with endless pride on his face. This time, I got 500000 Jin of grain, and I won''t have to worry about grain for a long time.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a barbarian soldier came to shamoko''s side and said in a loud voice, "Barbarian King, there is no grain in the granary."


    "Manwang, the granary is empty. There is no food."


    "Manwang, can the dog officer remember the wrong place and let us find the wrong direction?"


    "Manwang, I''ve searched three times, but I still can''t find any food. There was not a grain of grain in the granary. Instead, there was dry wood and grass. Some of them were found. "


    One by one, the barbarians came to report, and the tribal leaders of Fuxi and Youxi were even more murderous, all of them.


    Shamoko''s eyes cold down, his hands of Tribulus terrestris bone bang on the ground, roared: "dog officer actually remember the wrong place, go, find dog officer."


    Up to now, shamoko still doesn''t think that Kuai Yue cheated him. He thinks that he remembers the wrong place.


    In shamoko''s opinion, Kuai Yue is so timid that he dare not cheat him.


    Maybe Kuai Yue was wrong.


    A group of barbarians turned around and went to the camp gate of the granary.


    "Whew! Whew! Whew


    All of a sudden, a rocket soared into the granary. There was a lot of dry wood and grass in the granary. The rocket fell into the granary and ignited the granary immediately.


    The spring wind is winding around, and the fire is burning with the wind.


    It''s a trick!


    There was a look of anxiety in shamoko''s eyes.


    Now, shamoko finally knows he''s in the game. He roared and ordered to break through. The barbarians under his command also rushed out quickly, trying to get out of the granary.


    As long as out of the granary, out of the sea of fire, all the barbarians will be able to kill out of the city.


    Standing fifty feet away from the granary, Zhao Yun looked at the granary where the fire started and the barbarians who began to break through. He ordered: "rhubarb crossbow, prepare!"


    At the first order, the bowmen who had been ambushing around the granary were immediately in position.


    A thousand crossbow soldiers, with five hundred big yellow crossbows, aimed at the gate of the camp.


    "Shoot the arrow!"


    At Zhao Yun''s command, in an instant, five hundred big yellow crossbows were fired, and five hundred crossbows and arrows flew out directly.


    "Whew! Whew


    The crossbow and arrow broke through the air, and there was a sharp howling sound. It was very harsh and aggressive.


    Compared with bows and arrows, five hundred rhubarb crossbows shoot. After the concentrated crossbows hit the barbarian, one arrow penetrated the barbarian''s body, but still continued to shoot. A special crossbow is enough to shoot through the bodies of five to eight barbarians. It is extremely powerful.


    The first wave of attack by the crossbow killed at least 400 barbarians.


    Many of the barbarians had several crossbows and arrows in their bodies, while most of the barbarians in front of them were shot into a sieve, with blood flowing through the holes one by one.


    When he saw this scene, he was scared to death.


    Terror!


    It''s terrible. It''s a terrible weapon.


    However, the fire in the rear has been spreading, and the fire is getting bigger and bigger. If we don''t break through the encirclement, we can only bury ourselves in the sea of fire. Shamoko waved the bone of Tribulus terrestris in his hand and roared: "rush, as long as you rush out, you can survive."

 Chapter 294

    Countless barbarians, braved the fire of the Yellow crossbow, as well as the dense rain of arrows, charged quickly.


    In the granary, it''s a sea of fire!


    Outside the granary, it''s arrow rain!


    Both of them are the weapons to attract souls and take lives, but staying in the sea of fire is a situation of death. If you rush out in the rain of arrows, you may be able to survive.


    All the barbarians charged quickly and began to push forward.


    The corpses on the ground piled up one layer after another.


    Some barbarians even grabbed dead bodies on the ground directly to block the charge of bows and arrows.


    It took two quarters of an hour for wuximan to rush out of the sea of fire and break through Zhao Yun''s arrow array. By this time, the number of people killed and injured in wuximan under shamoko had exceeded 3000.


    A large number of soldiers died under the bow and arrow, and countless soldiers were buried in the sea of fire, which has been engulfed by the sea of fire. Such a loss is simply terrible.


    Because to sprint forward is to rush through the rain of arrows, to gamble on one''s life. Those who fall behind can only be engulfed by the sea of fire and burned alive.


    Shamoko is completely angry, his face is full of ferocious expression, staring at the front of the official road, roared: "kill, wanton kill, slaughter the city, I want to slaughter the city."


    At this time, shamoko rushed to the front.


    He was also shot in his left shoulder and chest, but it was not a fatal injury and had little effect. But his son suffered such a great loss, which made him angry.


    The city must be slaughtered!


    Only by slaughtering the city can he vent his anger.


    Shamoko led the soldiers to push forward. Zhao Yun once again ordered them to push forward. However, he saw that the soldiers with a shield and a knife were pushing forward quickly. Five hundred sword shield soldiers quickly approached, and quickly fought with shamoko''s barbarians.


    Shield - block!


    Slash!


    The movements of the five hundred sword shield soldiers are uniform and fierce.


    Shamoko had rushed up with the bone of Tribulus terrestris, but he was forced to retreat.


    "Pooh! Poof


    The blade of a knife fell and passed the body of the barbarian.


    The screams rang out in the street.


    Like a sharp blade, the sword and shield soldiers easily broke through the defense line of the barbarians and quickly entered them. No one can stop them, and they are chopped by the blade one after another.


    It''s just like the mechanical sword shield soldiers, killing the barbarians with fear.


    Shamoko also avoided. His heart was bleeding, but now he had no way back. He had to hiss and roar, "quick, avoid this soldier, we''ll kill him."


    Shamoko also thought that it was difficult to defeat the sword and shield soldiers, so he ordered them to bypass.


    When shamoko''s barbarians bypassed and continued to rush forward, they met another 500 soldiers with spears. This group of soldiers formed a spear formation and rolled over.


    The sword and shield soldiers ran over and mowed the grass.


    Spear soldiers killed, and merciless rolling, again like mowing a stubble.


    The continuous attacks made the barbarians no longer have fighting spirit.


    The number of soldiers under shamoko has exceeded 5000. On the ground, there are bodies everywhere, and there are rivers of blood. Shamoko led the soldiers to resist. At this time, he had no fighting spirit to kill the city.


    The Han Army had too many tricks. He felt that he had met an unprecedented opponent this time.


    Shamoko''s intuition tells him that he must run away quickly.


    If you escape from Youyang County, you will be safe.


    "Boom!"


    All of a sudden, on the broad official road ahead, there was a roaring sound.


    The road from the granary to the city gate is a wide official road at the entrance of the granary. The terrain of this official road is flat, and the northwest of Youyang County is relatively remote, so few people come.


    Now, suddenly came the sound of boom.


    Shamoko''s eyes widened, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.


    Cavalry!


    It must be cavalry!


    Shamoko, riding on his horse, clenched the bone of Tribulus terrestris in his hand.


    Up to now, he has been unable to retreat. Because the road in the rear has been blocked by spearmen and sword shield soldiers, the only way to break through is to rush forward. Even if there is a sea of fire ahead, we must make a breakthrough.


    Zhao Yun rode on his horse, holding a silver gun in his hand. He took the lead and made a rapid sprint.


    Behind Zhao Yun, there are 300 cavalry.


    Zhao Yun found Liu Xiu to get the three hundred cavalry. There are not many horses in Jingzhou. Zhao Yun has three hundred cavalry and keeps them as a treasure.


    Now, at last, it comes in handy.


    Zhao Yun first used the crossbow and bow to shoot the barbarians, which made them panic.


    Then, the soldiers of sword shield and spear were used to crush the fighting spirit of the barbarians. After three rounds of attacks, the barbarians were already scattered and only wanted to run for their lives. Under such circumstances, the cover and kill of cavalry can achieve the greatest effect.One sprint, you can kill each other.


    "Shamoko, die!"


    Zhao Yun''s silver gun pointed forward, and his eyes fell on shamoko.


    "Shamoko, die!"


    The three hundred cavalry roared in order, determined and uniform, and roared on the official road. It was like the sound of thunder, which made many barbarians paralyzed on the ground.


    Shamoko stares at Zhao Yun. His vision is quite accurate. He discovers that Zhao Yun is the leader. As long as you beat Zhao Yun, you will be able to rush through.


    "Sons, kill with me."


    Shamoko roared. He rode on the horse, with his legs in his belly, and rushed forward quickly.


    A group of loyal soldiers under his command also clenched their teeth and rushed up.


    "A hundred birds in front of the Phoenix, and the Phoenix nods."


    Zhao Yunren was on the horse. With the help of the power of the horse, people borrowed the horse''s power, and the horse borrowed the manpower. In a moment, he seemed to be integrated with the Dragon gall and silver gun in his hand.


    A big gun, a little cold, flickering in the air.


    "Kill


    Shamoke sensed Zhao Yun''s intention to kill. He swung the iron thistle in his hand and bravely welcomed it.


    "Dang!"


    The bony flower of Tribulus terrestris collides with the tip of the gun and sparks are splashed.


    "Seven explorations, three explorations!"


    With a low roar, Zhao Yun suddenly changed his weapon. The gun turned in the air and stabbed forward in an instant. Sharp point of the gun, stabbed at the eyebrow of shamoko.


    Shamoko, with a low roar and a backward tilt, avoided this move.


    "Fall down!"


    Zhao Yun''s big gun shakes, and the gun barrel of long Dan Liang''s silver gun is photographed. A shadow passed through the air, then fell, crashing into shamoko''s chest.


    "Ah


    With a scream, if shamoko''s body was struck by lightning, he fell off the horse.


    Zhao Yun''s legs clamped the horse''s belly, and the longdanliang silver gun turned in the air, and the tip of the gun fell in front of shamoko. However, the cavalry behind Zhao Yun had already rushed up and killed wildly, causing the barbarians to break up.


    "Pa!"


    Zhao Yun''s gun once again swept across and hit shamoko''s neck, knocking shamoko unconscious. He leaned over, grabbed shamoko''s body, put shamoko on his horse, and roared, "shamoko is dead, and those who fall will not be killed."


    "Shamoko is dead, those who come down will not be killed!"


    "Shamoko is dead, those who come down will not be killed!"


    Zhao Yun''s cavalry and soldiers kept roaring.


    At this time, some barbarians broke through the encirclement of cavalry and began to rush forward, trying to escape from Shengtian. But just as they rushed forward, there were a lot of officers and men in the front.


    When all the barbarians saw it, they were in despair.


    I can''t escape!


    The barbarians looked around and saw that they could not escape, and a large number of officers and soldiers were killed in front of them. In addition, after looking left and right, I really didn''t find shamoko, and the barbarians gave up their resistance one after another.


    "I surrender!"


    "I''m willing to surrender. Don''t kill me."


    The barbarians threw away their weapons and knelt down to surrender. With the first barbarian to surrender, the prelude to the barbarian''s surrender began. Groups of barbarians knelt down to surrender, and no one dared to resist.


    Zhao Yun saw this scene, the corners of his mouth raised a smile.


    In this battle, shamoko, the king of barbarians, was captured alive, and all the 15000 barbarians who entered the city fell into the ground. They either died or surrendered. This battle will completely establish his prestige in Wuling county.

 Chapter 295

    Outside Xiangyang, on the official road.


    A group of soldiers escorted shamoko to Xiangyang City.


    Shamoko was captured, more than 6000 barbarians were lost in World War I, more than 8000 were captured, and some soldiers were seriously injured and on the verge of death. None of the barbarians who entered the city escaped.


    Shamoko was standing in the van, his eyes blank and his face full of despair.


    After he was caught, he offered to surrender.


    What he thought in his heart was that as long as the Han people let him go, once he returned to the mountains, he would be the king. Then, he can make a comeback. But the general who defeated him didn''t even give him a chance, so he ordered to send him to Xiangyang. He asked the soldier, saying that he would be handed over to Jingzhou Mu to decide whether to put him to death.


    As a result, shamoko panicked and despaired.


    He doesn''t want to die!


    He finally became the king of barbarians, and now he has to face death. He was not reconciled, he was even afraid. In shamoko''s heart, he only wanted to see the herdsman of Jingzhou, and then begged for mercy.


    It''s better to live than to die. There is always a chance to live.


    Entering Xiangyang City, shamoke saw the towering City, and his eyes widened.


    This city is too big.


    Compared with the city of Youyang County, such a city is just like a sky and a ground.


    Many of the people who came and went were dressed in silk and satin. Their clothes were neat, and they showed a kind of superior pride. These people''s faces are red, not like the people in Youyang County. Most of them are like dishes one by one, and they are short of oil and water.


    It''s a blessed place on earth.


    In shamoko''s heart, there was such a feeling.


    However, when he thought of his situation, there was a sigh in his heart.


    The soldiers escorted shamoko to the prefecture and then to the hall.


    Liu Xiu sat at the top of the table, his eyes on shamoko, with a look of examination in his eyes. After receiving Lu Su''s report that he had destroyed 15000 soldiers led by King shamoke, captured nearly 10000 troops, and captured king shamoke alive, Liu Xiu was also very excited.


    For Jingzhou, the news is just a shot in the arm.


    At that time, Liu Xiu directly ordered Zhao Yun to send him to Xiangyang.


    Liu Xiu knew about shamoko.


    This manpower is infinite, in the hand an iron thistle bone flower, formidable incomparable. Not only that, but also his archery is quite superb. Such a person, if taken for his own use, not only has a huge impact on wuximan, but also can enhance the strength of Liu Xiu''s generals.


    Liu Xiu stared at shamoke and said, "are you shamoke?"


    "Yes


    Shamoko knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head to the ground for fear that he would annoy Liu Xiu.


    Life and death are all in Liu Xiu''s body. Shamoko dare not be arrogant.


    Liu Xiu tut tut twice, a disdainful expression on his face, said: "look at your appearance, which has a little bit of manwang''s appearance. His face was gaudy and his hair was dirty. Not only that, but also bare arms, wearing only a fur clothing to cover the lower body. Where you are king, you are a savage. "


    The merciless strike made shamoko pinch his teeth.


    He looked up at Liu Xiu. At this time, Liu Xiu was wearing a Jinxian crown, a white robe, a jade belt around his waist, a bench and long boots. His body was full of silk and satin, and he was dignified.


    That appearance, is a face like crown jade, eyes like stars, nose like hanging gall, a cheek angular, handsome incomparable. Such a person simply brings together the essence of heaven and earth.


    In shamoko''s eyes, there are only two words on Liu Xiu''s clothes - gorgeous!


    Liu Xiu''s appearance, but also only two words - Junlang!


    Nothing else.


    With a smile in his mouth, Liu Xiu continued: "if you look at your teeth again, if you look at your scorched teeth, you will not gargle. Look at your rough thighs. I don''t know how to hide them. You don''t look like a king. "


    "You are a king, just like a thief in the mountain. There is no tiger in the mountain, and the monkey is king."


    "Well, it''s not worth it for you."


    "As the leader of a big tribe, with tens of thousands of people under his command, he is living a life of drinking blood."


    "Mingming can take the barbarians under his command out of the mountain forest. Those who are popular drink spicy food and have to stay in the mountain forest to live a hard life. The mountain is full of wind and sunshine, and there are wild animals. It''s a day when a barbarian like you can adapt. "


    "I''m afraid I won''t get used to it all day."


    Liu Xiu''s mouth is extremely vicious. He doesn''t give shamoko face at all. He is sarcastic.


    People like shamoko don''t know loyalty, honesty and shame.


    It''s no different from casting pearls before swine to talk about morality and trust with shamoko.


    In history, Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times. In Liu Xiu''s view, although Zhuge Liang tried his best, he could not fundamentally change Meng Huo''s nature.


    You let it go once, and he''ll come again.It doesn''t make sense to deal with savages like Sha Moke and Meng Huo who came from the mountains. Only stick and radish is the best way. With a big stick, he had to obey. A radish, let him taste the sweet, consciously follow you.


    "Well, there''s a smell."


    All of a sudden, Liu Xiu covered his nose with a look of disgust in his eyes. Liu Xiu looked at shamoke and said, "shamoke, how long has it been since you took a bath?"


    At the moment, shamoko felt inferior in his heart. He bowed his head and replied in a weak voice: "I will report back to you for a month."


    "Somebody


    Liu Xiu big sleeve a brush, directly called the soldiers in.


    The soldiers came in and bowed.


    He ordered Mosha to clean his hair and then take it to wash


    "Yes


    The soldier patted shamoko on the shoulder and yelled, "let''s go."


    Shamoko got up, turned and walked out.


    Liu Xiu looked at the figure of shamoko''s leaving, and a smile rose from the corner of his mouth.


    To change shamoko, we must change from the root, let him taste the benefits of being a Han, let him get used to the clean feeling now. When he got used to the present days, shamoko had been occupied unconsciously.


    Subtle influence is the biggest killer.


    Just as China''s 5000 year old Confucian culture assimilates a number of ethnic minorities, and eventually integrates them into the Chinese nation. To some extent, it is the assimilation of Confucian culture that subtly changes each other.


    Shamoko, led by the soldiers, went to the bath room.


    Along the way, shamoko looked around and saw all the carved beams and painted buildings, simple, heavy and beautiful buildings in the prefecture. He was amazed and thought it was incredible.


    What''s more, a hundred flowers are blooming in the mansion, and there is a fragrance floating around. It''s really comfortable.


    Han officials, it''s so enjoyable.


    I think I live in a thatched cottage, which is already relatively tall in the tribe. Now, compared with Jingzhou Mu''s residence, it''s a world of difference.


    In fact, there was an idea of escape in shamoko''s mind.


    But thinking that it was very difficult for him to escape in the prefecture, he put out his mind.


    He went into the hall and talked with each other. Looking at each other''s posture, he didn''t seem to want to kill him. Moreover, he was very curious. He also wanted to feel what kind of life Han officials had.


    Into the room, a half person high, a Zhang long, six foot wide bath bucket, steaming hot.


    Standing next to the tub, shamoko was stunned for a moment.


    Take a bath. It''s so fancy.


    He took a bath in the tribe. Every time he found a pond, or a pond with water, he jumped in to take a bath. In winter, it''s troublesome to take a bath. He never takes a bath.


    Now seeing this exquisite bath bucket, shamoko rubbed the bucket. He felt that the surface of the bucket was delicate and smooth, even smoother than the backs of the women in his tribe. It was incredible.


    The old woman who washed for shamoko stood with a look of disgust and said, "don''t be stunned. Take off all your clothes and go into the bath bucket."


    "Yes, yes!"


    Shamoko was despised, and felt constrained, as if he didn''t know anything.


    He quickly took off the animal skin clothes on his body, pressed the edge of the bath bucket with one hand, jumped into the bath bucket with a splash. That warm hot water and skin contact, let shamoko can''t help but groan - groan, feel all over Tongtai, incomparably comfortable.


    "Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? Half a person high bath bucket, you directly step in, you have to jump in. Are you stupid or are you out of your mind


    The old lady in her forties was used to seeing the wind and the moon for a long time, and she was not moved to see shamoko''s body. On the contrary, she was very tricky.


    In particular, she got Liu Xiu''s orders from the beginning, and wanted to crack down on shamoko.


    Under such circumstances, it is even more vicious to speak.


    See uncomfortable, a mouth to poke up.

 Chapter 296

    Shamocco sat in the tub with an embarrassed expression on his face.


    He looked at the old lady with a trace of apology on his face. According to reason, shamoko was also the king of wuximan, but when he arrived at the prefecture, he saw that everything was better than his own. Even the servants in the family are better dressed than themselves, and they have a strong sense of inferiority in their hearts.


    In front of the old lady, I can''t lift up any air or confidence.


    It''s like a kid who made mistakes.


    The old lady took a look at shamoko and hummed, "sit still. You can do whatever I ask you to do? It''s stupid. I don''t even know the basics. "


    When shamoko heard the words, he had to smile.


    The old lady took a basket of rose petals and sprinkled them in the bathtub.


    Under the steaming heat, the fragrance of rose petals diffused.


    Shamoko''s eyes widened again. He thought that after entering the bath bucket, he was about to take a bath. Unexpectedly, the other side took out the red petals and sprinkled them in the bath bucket.


    Shamoko opened his mouth to ask, but when he got there, he took it back.


    The old lady had excellent eyesight. After seeing the expression of samoco, she took the initiative to say, "what is sprinkled in the bath bucket is rose petals, which are specially used for bathing. After taking a bath, there will be a smell of flowers on your body. It won''t stink like you. "


    "Now, you soak in the tub for a quarter of an hour, just like that."


    "When it''s time, I''ll give you a bath."


    The old lady is full of confidence, without any discomfort, she orders directly.


    After hearing this, she leans back in the bath bucket and enjoys the warm water. He has never enjoyed such treatment. Now lying in it, I don''t want to move. I feel that life is so beautiful.


    "No, I can''t fall."


    "I''m a prisoner now. I have to survive and I have to go back."


    "But it''s really comfortable."


    Shamoko closed his eyes and lay in the tub with a tangled expression. In his heart, all kinds of ideas came out, and he was fighting alone.


    A quarter of an hour later, the water cooled slightly.


    After the old woman added hot water, she said, "you sit in the tub and don''t move. I''ll take a bath for you." Although she is old, when she bathes him, her hands are as soft as bone, which makes him feel comfortable. The gentle kneading and massage made him addicted.


    "Comfortable. It''s so comfortable."


    Shamoko''s mouth murmured and his eyes showed endless comfort.


    It''s a comfortable day.


    After the bath, shamoko was all crisp and felt like he was enjoying himself. Such a day, it is too fascinating. The old lady brought her clothes and put them on shamoko.


    As soon as the clothes are on the body, the soft and close feeling makes shamoko feel more comfortable.


    All over, incomparably comfortable.


    After the hair was dried, it was combed again, tied up in a bun, and straightened. Everything was taken care of again. He put on his clothes, tied a jade belt around his waist, and then put on a jade pendant. Standing in front of the bronze mirror, shamoko looked at himself in the bronze mirror with a surprised expression. He thought it was incredible.


    Is he the man in the bronze mirror?


    The old lady stood aside and looked at shamoko, nodding in her heart.


    Although the brute is crude, it''s not bad after some tidying up. It''s quite extraordinary to wear a splendid dress and a wild posture.


    The old lady waved her hand and urged her to go to the hall. The adults are still waiting for you


    "Yes


    Shamoko reluctantly looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and his face still appeared in his mind. It was incredible.


    Is he the man in the mirror?


    When he came to the hall, Liu Xiu said with satisfaction: "it looks better at last. Alas, I could have enjoyed such treatment. Why do I have to be a thief? "


    Shamoko smiles. Although he likes the present day very much, he still has the idea of going back to the mountains. Although shamoko wanted to stay in his heart, he still suppressed the idea.


    The idea of going back still prevailed.


    Shamoko looked around and saw that there were no soldiers in the hall. Now he had taken a bath and his shackles had been removed. In addition, he is only a few feet away from Liu Xiu, so he has an idea in his heart. If you rush up, you can take down Yi Liu Xiu, and then you can take Liu Xiu and leave.


    The idea of taking Liu Xiu is spreading in shamoko''s heart.


    After making a decision in his heart, shamoko said, "my Lord, shamoko is willing to surrender."


    "Oh, indeed!"


    Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and sat upright.


    Shamoko bowed and said again, "yes, it''s true.""Kill


    At this time, shamoko suddenly burst out and rushed to Liu Xiu. He walked quickly, and then he squeezed his fist with his right hand. With a few breaths, shamoko had rushed to Liu Xiu.


    Miso!


    At this time, Liu Xiu had stood up.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were sharp, and he roared: "I''ve been waiting for you for a long time. Look at the move."


    Liu Xiu made a fist with his right hand and shot it out.


    Liu Xiu''s body avoided shamoko''s fist, and his right fist hit shamoko''s chest directly. With one punch, shamoko screamed and stepped back. At the same time, Mosha pulled his right hand forward.


    "Down!"


    Liu Xiu shoulder force, suddenly leaning up.


    This rely on, Liu Xiu from the foot hair strength, strength spread to the waist, and then through the waist burst out the unparalleled strength. The fierce force burst out from the shoulder.


    "Boom!"


    With a dull sound, shamoko screamed, and his burly body flew straight out.


    Bang!


    The sound of the dull impact sounded, and shamoko fell to the ground, his chest was badly hurt.


    Liu Xiu''s one punch and one lean made shamoko paralyzed and lay on the ground. He had no strength to attack.


    Liu Xiu sneered twice, clapped his hands, and then returned to the seat.


    At this time, the soldiers outside found the sound in the hall and quickly ran in. Liu Xiu waved his hand and let the soldiers back out. Liu Xiu stares at shamoko with a look of banter in his eyes.


    Shamoko''s careful thinking had already been expected.


    Even at the moment when shamoko started, Liu Xiu was ready. So as soon as shamoke got close to Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu immediately avoided shamoke''s killing move and defeated shamoke with one move.


    Shamoko''s astonishment was totally unbelievable.


    In shamoko''s eyes, Liu Xiu is young and looks like a scholar. He should be helpless. But just now Liu Xiu''s power was just like a storm and a volcanic eruption, which was irresistible.


    Is this, is this human?


    Shamoke looked at Liu Xiu with fear in his eyes.


    At this moment, shamoko was in despair. He wanted to go back to wuximan and mobilize his troops to fight Liu Xiu. Now, after seeing Liu Xiu''s hegemony, I can''t raise any idea of resistance.


    It''s terrible!


    After a long time, shamoko regained his strength, then got up and knelt on the ground.


    Liu Xiu asked, "do you want to die, shamoko?"


    "My Lord, shamoko doesn''t want to die. Shamoko is willing to surrender. The Lord is as powerful as the gods in the sky. Shamoko is willing to follow him to the death. "


    Liu Xiu snorted and said, "if it wasn''t for your usefulness and brute force, I would have killed you just now."


    When shamoko heard this, he was even more shocked.


    Now he felt a slight pain in his chest and a slight wound in his viscera. He thought that this might be the limit of Liu Xiu''s martial arts. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu was hiding his strength.


    It''s not human!


    In shamoko''s heart, there was such an idea.


    Shamoko put his hands on the ground, knocked his head on the ground and said respectfully, "shamoko is trying to compete with the adults in vain. It''s like he''s trying to die on his own. Please forgive shamoko this time. My Lord, shamoko is willing to surrender. "


    At this moment, shamoko completely put down, temporarily no longer want to escape things.

 Chapter 297

    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "get up!"


    "Thank you, my Lord!"


    With a sigh of relief, shamoko stood up and sat down on the right.


    Liu Xiu asked, "what did you eat all the way back to Xiangyang from Wuling county?" Liu Xiu didn''t pursue too much responsibility, which made the uneasy shamoko feel relieved.


    Shamoko replied, "my Lord, I ate meat cakes all the way."


    Liu Xiu asked, "is the meat pie delicious?"


    "Delicious


    Shamoko didn''t even think about it. He answered directly.


    But in shamoko''s heart, there was a doubt. How does Liu Xiu ask such a question?


    Now that he has surrendered, shouldn''t what Liu Xiu is talking about be a matter of state affairs, a matter involving wuximan, and how to subdue the rest of wuximan? How come all of a sudden?


    Shamoko really felt that his head couldn''t keep up with the rhythm, and he couldn''t guess what Liu Xiu was thinking.


    However, in shamoko''s heart, he was still greedy.


    Although the game in the mountain is good, I''m tired of eating it every day. All the way to eat meat cake, crisp and delicious, eat inside the mouth, there is a smell of meat filled, it is simply enjoy.


    Compared with the food in the mountain, a piece of meat cake is incomparably comfortable.


    Liu Xiu asked, "are you hungry now?"


    "Gollum! Grunt


    Mosako''s stomach screamed.


    If you don''t say it''s all right, you''ll have a cry. Shamoko said with a smile, "my Lord, I''m really hungry."


    Liu Xiu said, "come on, serve wine and vegetables."


    With an order, the attendant, who had been ready outside the hall, came in immediately with food and wine.


    On Liu Xiu''s and shamoko''s table, they put delicious food on each other. A lingering smell, Lingering between the nose. At the same time, the smell of wine in the wine pot also floated to the nose, which made him swallow.


    Liu Xiu had enough to eat, but he didn''t say how to start eating. He said: "shamoko, time is in a hurry, so the people in the kitchen made some simple food and wine. Now, you can move your chopsticks "


    " yes


    Shamoko picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of meat in his mouth.


    All of a sudden, the expression on shamoko''s face was stunned, and there was an incredible expression in his eyes. Then, his mouth chewed quickly and swallowed the meat in three or two.


    Shamoko looked at Liu Xiu, thumbed up and said, "my Lord, it''s delicious. It''s really delicious."


    At the moment, shamoko has completely forgotten what happened just now.


    A heart, all focus on the meat.


    Liu Xiu hardly moved his chopsticks. He waved his hand and said, "shamoko, the meat is delicious and the wine is delicious. Wine and meat are the best match. Eat meat, drink a mouthful of wine, wine into the stomach, is really comfortable


    "Yes, yes!"


    Shamoko nodded, poured his own wine, filled it up and drank it.


    "Hoo


    Shamoko felt hot in his throat, but as a mouthful of wine fell down, he felt comfortable. His whole body seemed to be ironed. He was extremely comfortable and intoxicated.


    The liquor Liu Xiu chose for shamoko was a special liquor for people to take.


    Shamoko lives in the mountains and drinks spirits. Only when he brings spirits with strong liquor flavor can shamoko really fall in love with such drinks.


    At this time, shamoko''s heart, completely intoxicated.


    Wine and meat!


    Beautiful!


    It''s so beautiful!


    Shamoko''s heart, constantly praised.


    In front of shamoko, there is a whole roast chicken. Shamoko drank the wine and kept tearing at the chicken. Less than a cup of tea, a whole chicken entered the stomach of shamoko.


    After eating all the meat and wine, shamoko''s stomach has been raised.


    It''s like a pregnant woman for a few months.


    Liu Xiu raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth and asked, "how do you feel, shamoko?"


    Shamoko put his hands on his thighs, looked happy, and said in a loud voice: "delicious, it''s so delicious. It''s the most comfortable and the best wine and meat I''ve ever eaten in my life. My Lord, are the days of Han officials so beautiful? "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "of course, this is the life of Xiangyang officials. At present, Wuling county has not reached the level of Xiangyang. But when Kuai Yue arrived in Xiangyang, he would soon improve the environment of Wuling county. At that time, the people will live like this. "


    "Gudong!"


    Shamocco swallowed his saliva, his eyes full of shock.


    All of a sudden, he thought of wuximan in the mountain. If the people under his command had such a life.


    That''s great!


    Shamoko felt that what he was enjoying now, and what he had been enjoying before, were just two extremes. He has tried such a life, and he doesn''t want to go back to the original one.I don''t want to go back.


    In shamoko''s heart, such an idea came into being.


    Liu Xiu saw Sha Moke''s expression and said with a smile, "as a herdsman of Jingzhou, I am in charge of Jingzhou. All the people in Jingzhou are the people of this official. It''s the same whether it''s a Han or a barbarian. "


    "Under the administration of this official, the Han people will surely live a safe and happy life. They can have clothes and food. But I also hope that the mountain barbarians under your command will be free from the wind and rain, the sun and diseases, and have clothes and food to live happily. "


    Liu Xiu said earnestly: "because Jin Xuan can''t change Wuling County, my official will transfer Jin Xuan away, and then arrange Kuai Yue to go. Kuai has outstanding ability. After he went to Wuling County, he will soon improve the situation in Wuling county. "


    When shamoko heard the words, his eyes also showed a trace of intention.


    Liu Xiu continued: "in my eyes, there is no distinction between Han people and barbarians. Why do I say barbarians are barbarians? Because you stay in the mountains all day and don''t let your children read and read, don''t understand etiquette, righteousness and shame, don''t understand etiquette. "


    "So I call you barbarians."


    "However, as long as you go out of the mountain forest, build a city and live outside the mountain forest, and integrate into the local people. As long as you abide by the law, you will also be protected by the government. "


    Liu Xiu said: "Han people can study and be officials, and so can barbarians."


    Shamoko thought about it and said in a deep voice, "but the last king of barbarians once promised the government to take the barbarians out of the mountain forest. But when he got out of the mountain forest, he was attacked. He was seriously injured, and even manwang was seriously injured. My Lord, can the government believe it? Can I trust my lord? "


    Liu Xiu said: "there are good and bad officials. I can''t guarantee that all officials are good people. As an official of Wuling County, Jin Xuan was not competent enough and even more timid. He didn''t have the courage to do it. "


    "However, I have, Kuai Yue has."


    "You can''t be bitten once by a snake or scratched once by a tiger, and then run away when you see the snake or the tiger. So you have to believe that it can be changed and it will be better. "


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were sincere and said: "what you enjoy in the prefecture today, every ordinary people can enjoy it. As the king of wuximan, don''t you want your people to enjoy such a life? "


    "Do you hope that Wuxi barbarians will live a life of plundering and drinking blood all their lives?"


    "Don''t you hope that among them, there will be a scholar, an official and a famous person in history?"


    Liu Xiuse said: "all this, I have placed in front of you, and have given you the opportunity. Now, the opportunity is in front of you, only to see if you want to. That''s what you can achieve and change if you want to


    After hearing this, shamoko was silent.


    Liu Xiu is waiting. At the same time, he is gambling that shamoko will consider for his wuximan. As long as shamoko is willing to consider for wuximan, shamoko will certainly agree.


    Moreover, Liu Xiu attacked shamoko from the very beginning, making shamoko think that people who came from barbarian land were uncivilized. Let shamoko take a bath, change clothes, drink good wine and eat good meat.


    Sharp contrast must be formed in the mind of shamoko.


    Liu Xiu''s reasoning is of little use. Only when he compares himself in his heart and makes his own choice, will he be willing to accept it, want the present life, and refuse to continue to live a bloody life.


    What''s more, Liu Xiuhui let the people of wuximan read books, which was also the place where shamoko was interested.


    There are few literate people in wuximan.


    Including shamoko himself, he only knows a few words.


    In wuximan, a person who can read the Analects of Confucius is a respected existence. But among the Han people, this is a normal thing. Shamoko also has wild hopes and hopes for a better life for his people.


    Shamoke looked up at Liu Xiu and solemnly said, "Lord Liu, if you are willing to go to wuximan with me, I am willing to persuade them to go out of the mountain."


    In a word, Liu Xiu was stunned.


    This condition set a test for Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 298

    Shamoko''s heart, with a strong expectation. At the same time, he is also confirming whether Liu Xiu is cheating him. If Liu Xiu cheated him, he would not go, and would not show up all over again. Because it''s very dangerous to go to wuximan.


    At this time, shamoko gave the right of choice to Liu Xiu.


    Everything is up to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu looked at shamoke and suddenly laughed. Shamoke, who seemed to be big and rough, was not a single minded man. He also had his own ideas and was quite clever.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice, "I promise to go to wuximan with you."


    "Really?"


    Shamoko was so excited that he stood up.


    Surprise!


    Shocked!


    Incomparable joy permeated in shamoko''s heart.


    Going deep into wuximan is entirely at risk of life. But Liu Xiu actually agreed, which means that Liu Xiu''s words are true and he really wants to help wuximan.


    "Thank you, my Lord!"


    Shamoko went to the center of the hall, knelt down on his knees, put his hands on the ground and kowtowed with his head.


    This time, I am convinced.


    This worship is for the people of wuximan.


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "get up. If I promise you, I won''t go back. I am in charge of Jingzhou. All the people in Jingzhou are my own people. Therefore, I will let wuximan live a life of clothing and food. "


    "Yes, thank you, my Lord."


    Shamoko kowtowed again and then said, "my Lord, when shall we leave?"


    At this time, shamoko''s heart, can''t wait.


    In the last battle, 15000 soldiers under his command were defeated at the cost of their troops, and all the leaders of wuximan were occupied. As you can imagine, wuximan now must be in chaos.


    Under such circumstances, wuximan also needs someone to go back and straighten up and restore order. Moreover, shamoko also expects that if wuximan really gets out of the mountain and lives a settled life, it''s really wonderful.


    "Tomorrow morning, we''ll go," Liu said


    Shamoko could not wait and asked, "my Lord, can you go south today?"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "I can''t do it today. If I leave Jingzhou, I have to make arrangements for government affairs. Otherwise, when my official is not in Xiangyang, once something big happens, there will be no one to deal with it. "


    Shamoko heard the speech and nodded.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "when you came to Xiangyang from Wuling County, you took a prison car all the way. It''s hard. You go down to have a rest and adjust your state. Tomorrow morning, we''ll set off South


    "Yes


    Shamoko nodded and obeyed Liu Xiu''s arrangement.


    Liu Xiu called for his servant, and asked him to take shamoko down to have a rest. Then he told Deng AI to prepare a carriage and go to Kuai''s house. Today, Kuai Yue is open to the outside world, and most of the people under Liu Xiu are not in Xiangyang.


    Pang Tong was the only counselor Liu Xiu had in Xiangyang. This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to go south, Liu Xiu wants to invite Kuai Liang out of the mountain.


    There are Kuai Liang and Yi Ji in the text. Their prestige is enough to maintain the stability of Xiangyang.


    When the carriage arrived outside Kuai''s house, after Deng AI knocked on the door, the porter saw that it was Deng AI, so he didn''t stop him at all. He asked Deng AI to take Liu Xiu to the hall, and the porter quickly informed Kuai Liang.


    In the hall, the guest and host are seated.


    Kuai Liang looked at Liu Xiu and asked, "what''s the matter with Liu Jingzhou''s visit?"


    Liu Xiu did not hide, straight to the point, said: "this time, is to hope that Mr. Zi Rou out of the mountain to help me."


    Kuai Liang said with a smile: "Liu Jingzhou, we have already discussed this matter at the beginning. Kuai Liang is old and has no intention of official career, so please don''t force Liu Jingzhou. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I know the difficulties of Mr. zirou. But now, Jingzhou really needs Mr. zirou''s help. With the release of Mr. Yidu and the departure of Xu Shu, Lu Su and Ma Liang, it is Mr. Ji Bo who can really entrust great things to Jingzhou officialdom. "


    "But Mr. jiber is too weak to handle so many things."


    "Especially tomorrow morning, I''m going to Wuling county to deal with things. When I''m not in Jingzhou, I''m not sure that Mr. Jibo is alone."


    Liu Xiu said earnestly: "Mr. zirou, what you take care of at home is the Kuai family. You take care of the little family, but you forget Jingzhou. When you become an official, you take care of not only the Kuai family, but also the families of countless people in Jingzhou. Therefore, I hope Mr. zirou can become an official. "


    Kuai Liang''s eyes showed a touch of meditation and asked, "what does Liu Jingzhou do in Wuling county?"


    Obviously, Kuai Liang suspects that Liu Xiu went to Wuling County on purpose, and then cheated him into becoming an official.


    Liu Xiu replied: "a few days ago, Zhao Yun and Mr. Yidu broke through the five streams in Wuling county. Fifteen thousand soldiers under wuximan''s command were destroyed in Youyang County. Now, shamoko, the king of Wuxi, has been sent to Xiangyang. I have convinced shamoko to move all the wuximan out of the forest and live with the Han people. "At this point, Liu Xiu solemnly said: "the condition of shamoko is that I go to wuximan together. He did it because he was worried that I would cheat him. So I have to go


    After hearing this, Kuai Liang changed his face. Wanzi said, "don''t try to persuade him. Wu Ximan''s character is repeated. I''m afraid it''s extremely dangerous after he goes there. "


    In a hurry, Kuai Liang even resumed his original address.


    Liu Xiu looked relaxed and said, "Mr. zirou, if there is a way to let wuximan return to his heart completely, and a chance to solve wuximan completely, would you like to miss it?"


    Kuai Liang shook his head and said, "if it''s me, I don''t want to miss it."


    After a pause, Kuai Liang said: "you are the master of Jingzhou. If you make any mistakes, the consequences will be immeasurable. Moreover, Wuxi is very cunning and has a lot of sex and emotions. Their words are not credible. Once you go to wuximan and are held hostage, what should you do? "


    Liu Xiu said, "Mr. zirou, don''t worry. I''m confident. Moreover, I also believe that shamoko can''t ignore wuximan''s life and death. This is also an opportunity for wuximan. "


    "Alas


    Kuai Liang sighed with a dignified expression.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "Mr. zirou, this time I''m here, I''m not talking about wuximan. I''m talking about you becoming an official. Today''s Xiangyang is really short of wise people. Mr. zirou is experienced, mature and prudent. With Mr. zirou, I can go to wuximan safely. "


    Kuai Liang sighed and said, "Liu Jingzhou, you are forcing me!"


    Liu Xiu said, "Mr. zirou, Jingzhou really needs you."


    Kuai Liang has a helpless expression. Under Liu Xiu''s persuasion, he can''t refuse Liu Xiu. The only way is to promise Liu Xiu. After all, Kuai Liang can''t just sit by.


    Kuai Liang stood up, arched his hand and said, "Kuai Liang, meet the Lord."


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "you don''t have to be like this, sir. Sit down!"


    After Kuai Liang took his seat, Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Mr. zirou became an official, so he took up the post of managing China temporarily. I don''t want to ask Mr. zirou and Mr. Jibo to take much trouble during this period. "


    Kuai Liang said: "when you go here, you must be careful."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "don''t worry, I will take Huang Hu with me. With the yellow tiger, my safety will not be a problem. "


    After arranging Kuai Liang''s affairs, Liu Xiu went back to zhoumu Prefecture and called Yi Ji to his study. He said that he was going to go south to Youyang County and go to wuximan.


    Like Kuai Liang, Yi Ji was also against it.


    However, after Liu Xiu''s persuasion, Yi Ji finally agreed.


    Liu Xiu said: "Mr. Ji Bo, with this opportunity, I invited Mr. Zi Rou out. Now, Mr. zirou is in charge of governing China. When I''m not in Xiangyang, it''s up to you to decide the government affairs of the prefecture. "


    "Yes


    Yi Ji nodded, with a smile on his face.


    When Kuai Liang is out of the mountain, he can relax a lot. After Liu Biao was alive, Cai Mao was responsible for many things that Yi Ji didn''t handle.


    Now, Liu Xiu is in charge of Jingzhou, and a lot of government affairs are decentralized to him, so that he is too busy to touch the ground. Other people, Yi Ji, are either worried or unable to cooperate with Yi Ji at all.


    Kuai Liang is different. Kuai Liang and Yi Ji were old acquaintances and old partners. With Kuai Liang''s help and sharing, Yi Ji would be much more relaxed and would not be as tired as he is now.

 Chapter 299

    Youyang County, county seat.


    After Liu Xiu arrived, he summoned Kuai Yue, who was still in Youyang County for the time being. In addition, Zhao Yun and Lu Su are also in Youyang County. Because more than 8000 captured barbarians have not yet been dealt with.


    This group of barbarians broke up and was incorporated into the army, so it was difficult to integrate into the army.


    It''s easy to form an army without control.


    Therefore, 8000 barbarians became a burden and were temporarily detained.


    When Liu Xiu arrived, Kuai Yue explained the current situation. With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "shamoko is willing to surrender. Therefore, the captured 8000 barbarians will stay in the city for the time being. When shamoko and I come back from wuximan, we will unite and form an army."


    Then Liu Xiu said that he was going to wuximan.


    Kuai Yue frowned and said, "Lord, who will go to wuximan with you?"


    "Huang Hu alone is enough," Liu said


    This time he went south. In order to save time, Liu Xiu only took Huang Hu with him. Liu Xiu, Huang Hu and shamoko all rode on horseback, so they arrived in the shortest time.


    Kuai Yue had a worried look on his face and said, "is it safe to go alone, my lord?"


    Shamoko patted his chest and said, "as long as I''m here, I can guarantee the safety of adults." For Liu Xiu, shamoko is now convinced that Liu Xiu exists as a master.


    Kuai Yue was also surprised to see that shamoko''s respect for Liu Xiu did not seem to be false.


    In just a few days, Liu Xiu convinced shamoko to follow him. He was really powerful.


    After Zhao Yun captured shamoko, he tried every means to persuade him to surrender. Although shamoko surrendered, he was not satisfied. As soon as Liu Xiu made a move, the matter was solved.


    Kuai Yue asked again: "Lord, according to your consideration, wuximan will come out of the mountain and help the old and the young. What will be the arrangement then?"


    As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused shamoko''s interest. Wuximan is widely distributed with a large number of people. If all of them come out of the mountains, it is also a question where they will be placed.


    If the resettlement is not reasonable, there will be huge problems.


    Liu Xiu didn''t answer for the moment. He looked at shamoko and asked, "shamoko, how many people are there in wuximan? How many people do you roughly estimate?"


    Shamoko replied, "my Lord, the number of wuximan should be about 30000. After all, I brought more than 10000 with me this time. It is estimated that there are only about 30000 left. "


    "Thirty thousand!"


    Liu Xiu''s eyebrows wrinkled and his eyes had a dignified expression.


    When there are many people, it is easy to produce right and wrong.


    Liu Xiu also knows some of the Wuxi barbarians from historical materials. These barbarians have their own customs and habits. If the resettlement is unreasonable, there may be conflicts.


    The first running in period is the most difficult period. As long as the running in period is over, it will be much better.


    Liu Xiu asked, "is it easy to resettle 30000 people in Youyang County?"


    Kuai Yue stayed in Youyang County these days. He said solemnly, "Lord, there are three problems in the settlement of wuximan in Youyang County."


    "First, not long ago, shamoko led people to plunder Youyang County. Once the people of Youyang are placed in the county, they will be hostile to the people. "


    "Second, Youyang County itself is not big, there are scattered people in the city. I''m afraid it will be very difficult to cram 35000 people into the river. "


    "Third, wuximan has just arrived in Youyang County, so whether he can adapt is also a question. If it is dispersed, it will be difficult to manage and prone to problems. "


    Kuai Yue raised three questions in a row, all of which were extremely acute.


    Shamoko''s face was tense and his expression was very tangled. Now he wanted his tribe people to live in the mountains. Especially after seeing the prosperity and wealth of Xiangyang, he was used to wearing silk and satin clothes, and he did not want to go back to the days when he was wrapped in the mountains and drank blood.


    "What shall we do?"


    Murmured shamoko, with anxious eyes.


    At this time, shamoko''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu and pinned all his hopes on him.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were calm, and he said, "Yidu, take the map of Youyang County."


    "Yes


    Kuai Yue immediately ordered him to go down. Soon, the soldier came in with a map.


    This map is made of cloth.


    The planning and layout of Youyang County are all presented above.


    Liu Xiu stared at the city of Youyang County for a long time, and his eyes fell on the west of Youyang County.


    In the west of the county, the terrain is high, with many mountains and forests, and few people live there.


    Liu Xiu''s hand fell on the west side of the county. He drew a circle directly on the west side of the county. He said: "the west side of the county is a lot of barren. We can reclaim the mountains and forests on the west side of the county, and unify them as a place where Wuxi people live. After they came out of the mountains, they lived in the west of the countyKuai thought more and more, and said, "Lord, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to reclaim the west side of the county."


    There was no doubt on Liu Xiu''s face. "The more than 8000 barbarians captured are the best labor force. Moreover, it''s about building their homes and publicizing them. They will do their best. "


    "In addition, a part of the soldiers will be mobilized to join them."


    "Yidu, this is the top priority in the governance of Wuling County, so we must reclaim the west of the city in the shortest time, and then build houses, row by row."


    Liu Xiuse said: "isn''t it good that people from Wuxi can live in directly after they come out of the mountain? This alone can solve many disputes and problems. "


    "In addition, we should also remember that there must be five squares in the west of the county."


    "Because Wuxi people have five big tribes, each of which may have its own different habits."


    "At that time, each tribe will be directly resettled, and then unified management will be carried out."


    Liu Xiu said: "this arrangement will prevent too many disputes. As for the markets, grain merchants, cloth merchants and so on, you can consider them again. This matter must be done well. Once the matter is handled properly, the biggest hidden danger of Wuling county will be removed. Then, you can show your fists in Wuling county and completely change the appearance of Wuling county. "


    Kuai Yue nodded, with a trace of expectation on his face.


    Meritorious service, speech and morality are the three Immortalities of the ancients. No one with ambition can ignore them.


    As a scholar, Kuai Yue is no exception.


    Kuai Yue was an official in Wuling county. If he could solve the crisis of wuximan, he would have made great contributions. For Jingzhou as a whole, this is a great credit. If we can solve the problem of wuximan''s education, and let them be literate and reasonable, literate and polite Han people, it will be more meritorious and moral.


    It is a great thing to be able to do meritorious service and morality.


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhao Yun and Lu Su and said, "Zilong and Zijing, you have to worry about Youyang County. The problem of Wuxi people must be solved as soon as possible. "


    Zhao Yun Baoquan way: "Lord rest assured, humble position will fully cooperate."


    Lu Su replied: "Lord, I will do my best."


    Liu Xiu was relieved when he got the answer from them.


    Looking at the map, shamoke thought of Liu Xiu''s arrangement. He was even more grateful and said excitedly: "my Lord, shamoke thanks you on behalf of more than 30000 people from Wuxi."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "before I came here, I already said that. I am a herdsman in Jingzhou, and I am in charge of Jingzhou. All the people in Jingzhou are my people. Wuxi people are no exception. So I''m going to give them a good life. "


    Shamoko nodded heavily and looked grateful.


    Liu Xiu then asked Zhao Yun about the army. When he learned that everything was going well, Liu Xiu was relieved.


    Liu Xiu is not worried about Zhao Yun''s cooperation with Lu su.


    After lunch, Liu Xiu asked Sha Moke to lead the way and take Huang Hu to the middle of the mountain. This time, three people did not ride, chose to go on foot.


    Because when you walk ten miles out of the county, you have to enter the mountains. On the road in the forest, the speed of the horse is very slow, but not as fast as that of walking.


    After entering the forest, shamoko and Liu Xiu kept shuttling back and forth to the depths of the forest.


    Liu Xiu, as a man proficient in mountain fighting, entered such a primitive mountain forest. At the beginning, he was able to distinguish the direction. But with the continuous turning detour, as if playing hide and seek, especially everywhere is one by one person can not keep the towering trees, already faint direction, do not know where to go.


    Huang Hu, carrying two golden hammers of drum beating, followed him in a daze.


    Only with this point, Liu Xiu can conclude. It''s really very difficult to enter the mountains and attack wuximan. Zhao Yun and Kuai Yue made a plan to lead the snake out of the cave. They really hit the snake seven inches and got to the point. Otherwise, it''s hard to say whether we can catch shamoko.

 Chapter 300

    After walking for nearly an hour, the space and time of shanlinton became open.


    "Wow!"


    A stream flows in the mountain stream.


    The clear stream is flowing with a cheerful voice. After hearing the sound of the stream, Liu Xiu knew that it was not far away from the place where Wuxi people lived. Where there is water, there are usually people. In particular, Wuxi people live in the mountains, water is the most important link.


    Shamoko''s mood is much better. With a smile on his face, he said, "my Lord, there is still a little time to go to Dazhai. It will be here soon. "


    Liu Xiu said: "shamoko, when you get back to the mountain village, once you announce that you want to move out of the mountain forest. Maybe, many people will not agree. What are you going to do? "


    "I give orders and they must be carried out," said shamoko


    Among the people of Wuxi, they always regard the strong as the most important and win with their fists. He is the king of man. The people of Wuxi can only obey his orders, but can''t oppose them.


    Liu Xiu said, "what if they don''t carry it out?"


    Shamoko snorted, clenched his fist and said with a loud voice: "if Wuxi people are not obedient, don''t blame my fist for being impolite."


    Liu xiudao: "there''s no need to use fists to solve the problems that can be solved. Moreover, it involves moving out of the mountains and forests, leaving the place where people have lived for generations, and trying not to cause trouble. Do you understand? Once there is a conflict, it will cause unnecessary trouble. "


    "Yes


    After listening to Liu Xiu''s words, shamoke did not retort and nodded to write it down.


    "Moo! Moo


    All of a sudden, an old cow''s voice came from the front.


    "Baa! Baa


    "Woof! Woof


    There are the sounds of sheep and dogs barking. For a moment, they enter the place where chickens and dogs hear each other, as if they have entered a paradise. Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on a big village in front of him. Around the Dazhai village, there is a stream flowing by. Outside the Dazhai village, there are several children playing naked, while cows and sheep are tied outside the village.


    There are people coming and going in the stronghold. The woman covered her chest and lower body with animal skin clothes, revealing her shoulders and navel. Men are only wearing animal skin clothing to cover the lower half of the body, revealing a strong chest.


    People come and go, constantly busy.


    At the gate of Dazhai, a man carrying a wild boar from Wuxi went to Dazhai.


    Wuxi people live in the mountains, and the wild animals in the mountains and forests are their food. As for food, silk, tea, wine and so on, in the eyes of the people of Wuxi, they are extremely precious and luxury goods. They can only be taken out during the Spring Festival and when there is a big event.


    "The king is back, the king is back."


    Suddenly, the people in Dazhai saw shamoko and cried out.


    Suddenly, countless people shout to each other.


    The news soon spread in the Dazhai village, and the old people of Wuxi tribes who stayed in the Dazhai village came out one after another to welcome them. However, when they saw shamoko coming back alone, their faces were worried.


    This time, shamoko left the mountain forest and led 15000 children out. It was almost ten days before he came back. Shamoko came back alone.


    For the first time in the past, this has never happened.


    One after another, they are anxious.


    Shamoko waved his hand and said directly, "gather the elders of the tribes and discuss the affairs."


    At the command, the news quickly spread out.


    In the center of Dazhai is shamoko''s house, which is actually an open thatched shed.


    Shamoko sat directly above, Liu Xiu on the side, and Huang Hu on the side of Liu Xiu.


    At the beginning, shamoke intended to let Liu Xiu sit at the top, but Liu Xiu asked shamoke to preside over the meeting. Shamoke could not refuse, so he had to arrange it like this.


    In Wuxi People''s territory, Liu Xiu is here for the first time, and it''s to take people out. There''s no need to be too ostentatious.


    It is the most appropriate arrangement for shamoko to sit at the top of the chair.


    The elders of all tribes entered one after another.


    Two quarters of an hour later, all the people had arrived, but none of the leaders of the five major tribes, Huixi, Chenxi, Youxi, xiongxi, and Wuxi, was captured and remained in Youyang County for the time being.


    Shamoko looked at the people under his command and said in a loud voice, "this time he went to Youyang County to ask for food. All the 15000 sons led by the king were destroyed and captured. These people are still in Youyang County."


    "Thanks to master Liu of Jingzhou, not only did he not pursue the responsibility of the king, but also did he not pursue the responsibility of the Wuxi people for attacking Youyang County."


    "Mr. Liu said that in order to completely solve the problem of Wuxi people and make them have clothes, food and houses, we are going to move all our Wuxi people out of the mountains and live in Youyang County."


    "Now, wuxierlang, who stayed in Youyang County, has started building houses."


    "When we go out, there will be houses."With these words, the discussion began immediately. One by one, there are expressions of approval in the eyes of shamoko, and some people are disgusted, with the appearance that shamoko has lost the face of his ancestors.


    "Be quiet!"


    Shamoko''s voice was cold. With a command, everyone was quiet.


    One by one, there was a trace of fear in shamoko''s eyes.


    Liu Xiu saw this scene, his eyes a little more relaxed. From this point of view, shamoko has a high status in the eyes of Wuxi people and has enough prestige.


    In this case, it''s much easier to complete.


    Shamoko continued: "Mr. Liu has set out a special place in the west of Youyang County to build houses for the people of Chenxi, Youxi, Wuxi, Huixi and xiongxi, ready to welcome our people into the city. The leaders of the tribes are also responsible for reclaiming the mountains and forests, and are working hard to speed up the work. "


    The elders of the tribes were dumb when they heard this.


    Shamoko carried out the leaders of all the tribes, and they were hard to oppose. Even the leaders of their own tribes were building houses and reclaiming the mountains day and night. What else could they say?


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, he was even more appreciative.


    Originally, he thought that shamoko was a warrior and straightforward. Now it seems that shamoko is not only a Wufu, but also has a lot of brains. The five tribal leaders of the Wuxi people were obviously captured. Then, under the arrangement of Kuai Yue, they had to arrange barbarians to reclaim farmland and build houses.


    Shamoko changed a little bit, and the people of all tribes dare not oppose it.


    "King, who are the people around you?"


    The elder of Jixi Tribe said that he couldn''t object, so he immediately changed the topic.


    Shamoke immediately said: "this is Mr. Liu, who is in charge of Jingzhou. In order to let Wuxi people get out of the mountain smoothly, he settled down in Youyang County. Mr. Liu came from Xiangyang in person and made a special trip to solve our problems. "


    Pang Ge, the elder of pangxi tribe, snorted and said, "Lord Liu, Wuxi people live in the mountains and live in the water. They have lived in the mountains and forests for generations and are unwilling to leave them. Why does Mr. Liu have to move us out of the mountain forest? Do you want to control us and let us be under your control? "


    The words were aggressive and the tone was very sharp.


    Shamoko''s face suddenly cooled down, and he ordered: "Pange, pay attention to the tone of your speech. If this happens again, I will tear your mouth. "


    He said in a loud voice, "king, since Mr. Liu wants us to leave the mountain forest, there must be enough reasons. I have a question in my heart, so naturally I have to ask. Don''t you allow me to ask? "


    His words made him angry.


    Shamoke wanted to talk, but Liu Xiu waved his hand to stop him.


    "My Lord, I have no way to discipline you. Please don''t have the same insight as Chen Ge."


    Shamoko was very sorry and felt that he had not done a good job.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said with a smile: "it''s OK, the truth is not clear. Since it is reasonable, it is natural to argue clearly. Elder Taige, what do you think? "


    As soon as he heard Liu Xiu''s voice, he was very alert.


    This Han man is neither humble nor overbearing, and seems to be very powerful.


    However, he didn''t give in at all. He stroked his beard under his jaw and said in a neutral voice: "Mr. Liu is right, but I still said that. We have lived here for generations. Why move? This is the rule of our ancestors. They are all like this. We don''t have to change it. "


    For the old people of all tribes, when they are old, they pay attention to returning to their hometown.


    The elders of each tribe, who were all elderly people, looked at Liu Xiu one by one, looking forward to how Liu Xiu would answer this question.


    If Liu Xiu doesn''t explain clearly, they won''t leave.

 Chapter 301

    Liu Xiu looked at Xiang Ge with a serious expression.


    After a moment''s deliberation, Liu Xiu said without hesitation: "I have different opinions about elder GE''s words."


    "Wuxi people have lived in the mountains for generations. Why?"


    "It''s not because the generations of Wuxi people don''t want to leave, it''s because there is no place for Wuxi people to live outside, it''s because the people outside are hostile to Wuxi people."


    "According to elder Taige, it''s a rule for the ancestors of the Wuxi people to live in the mountains. Then, the ancestors of the Wuxi people may not even have clothes at first. Since it is the ancestor''s rule, why did elder Taige put on his clothes? What''s more, the clothes that elder Taige wears are not the clothes of ordinary Wuxi people, but the clothes of Han people. "


    Liu Xiu had a smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "elder Pange, am I right?"


    "Sophistry!" he said coldly


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "elder Pange, what Wuxi people have done for generations is the environment at that time. The conditions at that time limited us to do that. The ancestors of the Wuxi people may have lived in caves. Why do all the Wuxi people live in houses now? "


    Liu Xiu''s tone gradually showed his sharpness and said, "elder Pange obeys the opinions of his ancestors and respects them so much. Why don''t you live in a cave and imitate them? The truth is the same. With good conditions and good environment, why not accept it? "


    "You, you, you sophistry."


    She blushed and was short of breath.


    His original intention was not to say the rules of his ancestors, but Liu Xiu misinterpreted the meaning, which made it difficult for him to refute.


    Liu Xiu continued: "elder Pange said that I was sophistry, so I''ll change it."


    She snorted, but said nothing.


    Liu Xiu continued: "dare to ask elder Ge, do you read and read?"


    "No reading, no literacy." Elder Taige shook his head and said, "what do you do in the mountains? Can you make a meal? Can reading bring food and meat? In my opinion, reading is useless. "


    Liu Xiu laughed, his face full of disdain.


    He also sneered and said, "Mr. Liu, if you think reading is useful, please tell me. What''s the use of reading in our mountains? "


    Liu Xiu said: "at a large scale, reading is sensible and opens up wisdom."


    "For example, when there is a conflict in the Shanzhai, someone has to judge whether it is good or bad. Then what is the basis for judging? Judge by reason. If you don''t read, if you don''t understand, your judgment will lose fairness and justice. "


    "Elder Taige is a rude man. When you deal with things, you may be preconceived to judge who is good and who is bad, and then punish them directly. But scholars are different. They will analyze, find out the reasons and ask who is wrong and where is wrong? How to punish for mistakes? How should he be taught to correct his mistakes so as not to commit them again


    He looked at the people around him and saw that they were looking at him. He hummed and did not answer.


    In fact, that''s how he does things.


    He was in the tribe. He thought that what he had judged was correct. He didn''t want any analysis, correction and instruction, as Liu Xiu said.


    Liu Xiu''s expression became calmer and calmer, and he continued: "it''s hard to understand the truth. After listening to it, you will not accept it. Well, I''ll talk about the most practical thing about reading. "


    "First, you can judge the weather by reading. For people in the mountains, it''s best to go hunting on a sunny day. If you just go out for an hour, you will encounter a downpour, and all of them are drowned, and all the wild animals are hidden, how can you hunt? "


    "Second, you can look for water after reading books. Although there is a stream near Dazhai, who can guarantee that the stream will not stop? In case of drought, the stream will be cut off. In this case, after reading a book, you can look for water according to the knowledge of the book, or dig a well to get water. "


    "Third, you can understand arithmetic after reading. Everyone should understand the most basic arithmetic, otherwise you count ten eggs to nine. How can you do that? "


    "Fourth, you can eat meat after reading. Why do you say that? Because after reading the book, you can infer from the traces on the ground that where there will be wild animals and where there will be animals, and then set traps for hunting. "


    "Fifth, reading books can make clothes. For example, as long as you study art, you can understand how to make clothes. You can make clothes with silk. "


    "Sixth,..."


    ¡­¡­


    Liu Xiu kept counting all kinds of uses, and said directly what was useful.


    When she heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched.


    Liu Xiu continued: "in the mountains, reading books is so useful? If you come out of the mountain, what are the benefits of reading? If you read a book and open up your wisdom, you may become an official and take charge of one side. "


    "Take charge of Youyang County, for example, Wuling county."


    "Which of the officials of the imperial court, those who are famous in the history, are not the people who read books? Although the people of Wuxi live in the mountains and have no conditions to study for the time being, it does not mean that they have no conditions in the future. ""Elder Taige, if you don''t study, you will be like this all your life. You are an old man."


    "But do you want your children and grandchildren, your descendants, to live by hunting in the mountains all the time? What if there are no wild animals in the mountains? "


    "Wuxi people used to be in the mountains because they didn''t have a chance to go out. Now that we have the opportunity to let our children read and get rid of their difficulties, why not give it a try? "


    "Even if you can''t read, you can still cultivate farmland and learn arts when you get out of the mountains and forests. There are ways to live."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes and grammar were sharp, and he said, "elder Pange, do you understand that?"


    He sighed and said, "I don''t object to moving out of the mountain forest." The elders of the other tribes all agreed.


    "Elder Pange, no, your third grandson is dead, and your eldest grandson has a slight sign of acne." All of a sudden, a burly man came in quickly, his face full of fear and deep expression.


    The so-called acne is smallpox.


    With a sad face, he sighed and waved his hand: "cremate the third elder. Keep the elder shut. Don''t let him out. It''s his nature to survive. If you can''t survive, that''s life. "


    The disease of acne appeared in the mountain, and all the tribes have dealt with it.


    All those contaminated are isolated.


    There were four grandchildren under the elder''s knee. The second and the fourth did not support them. Only the first and the third were left. Now that the third is dead and the eldest is about to die, she is very sad.


    Liu Xiu heard the strong man''s words, asked: "the boss''s acne, is it just infected?"


    "Yes


    The strong man didn''t know who Liu Xiu was, but he replied.


    Liu Xiu looked at Xiang Ge and said, "maybe I can save the boss. However, the probability is no more than 30%


    "Really? Lord Liu, please. "


    In his heart, there is hope, and 30% is also hope. Boss with a slight acne, isolated alone, will die. Now Liu Xiu''s words raised the hope for the reform.


    "My Lord, as long as I can save my boss, I am willing to move, I am willing to go out of the mountain."


    At this time, he had only one thought, that is, to save the life of his boss.


    Huang Hu has always been a Muggle. He knows acne. He looks against it and says in a deep voice: "Lord, acne is a terminal disease. Once infected, it will definitely die. I don''t recommend your participation. Please think twice. "


    Liu xiudao: "people from Wuxi are also people, and people from Jingzhou. They are the people under my command. Since I have a way, I can''t help them. Even if it''s dangerous, try it. "


    "Thank you, my Lord," he said


    When he heard the words, he was even more moved.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "don''t thank me. I don''t know if I can succeed." Immediately, Liu Xiu told people to prepare the necessary equipment, let people bring the cattle, ready to give the big brother of the Ge family vaccinated.


    In this era, there were basically no medical devices, and even Liu Xiu had a great threat to get close to the leader of the Ge family. Liu Xiu wrapped up his inner and outer layers, smeared a layer of fish glue on his hand, and then inoculated his eldest brother.


    In addition, all the other infected people in Wuxi were also vaccinated.


    After finishing everything, Liu Xiu came back, took off his clothes, burned them all, and waited for news in the stronghold. The so-called vaccinia vaccination, Liu Xiu is also a risk, because he does not understand many of the principles, can only try.


    The next waiting is suffering for those who are isolated and for those outside.


    Five days later, two of the more than ten quarantined people died and were burned directly.


    The rest are getting better and better.


    Seven days later, they all recovered. All the people took off their clothes and burned them all. Then Liu Xiu asked people to prepare wine for disinfection, and then let all the people take a bath and change their clothes.


    The eldest brother in his hometown was saved after all.


    In this regard, he had great respect for Liu Xiujing.


    Wuxi people know Liu Xiu''s action and are grateful to him. For a time, Liu Xiu had accumulated a high prestige among the people of Wuxi.

 Chapter 302

    Under the full supervision of the elders of each tribe, although some people in the mountain did not agree to move out, shamoko gave a death order, and Liu Xiu also called on the barbarians to move out.


    In the end, the Wuxi people of various tribes started large-scale operations.


    The first group moved 5000 people.


    There are about 1000 people in each tribe. According to the people of Wuxi, this is to explore the way. If the environment in Youyang County is really good, then move out.


    In fact, before the arrival of the Wuxi people, the forest in the west of Youyang County had been reclaimed.


    A house, neatly built up.


    Everything is ready.


    Liu Xiu entered wuximan for nearly ten days. These ten days, Kuai Yue, Zhao Yun and Lu Su were very worried, but they also carried out the order meticulously.


    When five thousand people arrived, they were very excited to see a brand-new courtyard.


    Everyone, they were all shocked.


    Kuai Yue met Liu Xiu and came to him. He saw Liu Xiu and looked up and down to make sure that Liu Xiu was really OK. Then he was really down-to-earth. He said with a smile, "if my lord doesn''t come back, I''m afraid he''ll send someone to look for you."


    Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I''ve been delayed for a while, but it''s OK."


    Immediately, Liu Xiu said, "Yidu, bring five people here and lead the people of each tribe of Wuxi people to their respective areas."


    Kuai Yue said, "don''t worry, my Lord. I''m ready."


    Immediately, Kuai Yue directly ordered to go down, a team of soldiers came up, and then led the people of each tribe to their respective areas.


    Shamoko was also curious and went with him.


    As waves of Wuxi people went to the west of Youyang County, Kuai Yue''s face also showed a smile.


    Seeing that everything was on the right track, Kuai Yue said, "Lord, let''s go back to the county government to discuss things first. I have a lot of ideas about the treatment of Wuxi people in Youyang County. I want to discuss with my Lord. "


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu nodded and took Huang Hu and others to the county government.


    After the downfall of the county government, the guests and the host took their seats.


    Kuai Yue became more serious and said slowly: "the leaders of the tribes of wuximan have been selected from the army and convinced them to take charge of their own affairs."


    "On this basis, I plan to set up a Wuxi Yamen. The person in charge is the leaders of the Wuxi tribe."


    "When something happens to the people of Wuxi, they should be dealt with by the tribal leader first, and then they should report it to their humble position here."


    "In this way, we can ensure their autonomy and let them handle their own affairs. It also ensures that the Wuxi people can be monitored. After all, they have just arrived in Youyang County. If they manage it directly, it is easy for them to have problems. "


    "I also considered the situation of the Wuxi people. In view of their good hunting skills, I plan to set up a market in the west of Youyang County to sell prey."


    "Han people can go to buy, and Wuxi people can make money."


    "In addition, I plan to continue to cut trees and clean up wasteland. When all the Wuxi people arrive, they will distribute the land uniformly so that they can cultivate. Now it''s spring ploughing. Although it''s a little late, it can be ploughed for another season. He dispatched seeds and even farm tools from Linyuan County, so that Wuxi people could settle down first. "


    "As for the rest of the food, wine and meat shops, in order to avoid disputes and to make the people of Wuxi stable, they will not let the vendors participate in the business for the time being, and the government will make unified arrangements."


    "In a period of one to three years, we should allow the Wuxi people to intermarry with the Han people and integrate them into the Han people. Finally, regardless of the Han people and the Wuxi people, the Yamen composed of the leaders of the Wuxi tribes will be banned. "


    In Kuai Yue''s eyes, there was a strong expectation.


    As for the governance of Wuxi people, he has been thinking about it for a long time and has a lot of ideas.


    He even invited elderly scholars to set up schools among Wuxi people, so that Wuxi people could read and read. Of course, the content of reading is the most basic elementary education.


    Besides, Kuai Yue also considered other aspects, such as craftsmen and so on.


    After hearing Kuai Yue''s words, Liu Xiu had a smile on his face.


    His eyes were full of reassurance.


    When Liu Xiu took the Wuxi people out of the mountain, he was very worried about the situation of the Wuxi people. Now it seems that Kuai Yue has done a very good job. All the things are in Kuai Yue''s mind, and Liu Xiu doesn''t need to worry about them.


    "Da! Dada


    A sound of footwork came from outside the hall.


    The elders and leaders of shamoko, Taige and other tribes all came in.


    Shamoko arched his hand and said, "see you, shamoko!"


    Others saluted Liu Xiu one after another.


    Liu Xiu waved the people to sit down and asked, "is shamoko satisfied?"


    Shamoko couldn''t help rubbing his hands. He was very excited and said, "my Lord, it''s so good. I showed people the houses they built. They are spacious and transparent, they can keep out the wind and rain, and they have stoves and so on. They are all ready. It''s really great. "Kuige said: "the great kindness and virtues of the adults are remembered by the people of Wuxi."


    The elders and leaders of other tribes also expressed their thanks one after another.


    The expression of all people is praise.


    It is the so-called do not see do not know, a look startled, they did not see the construction of the house, the heart uneasy. Now I can see the standing houses and the orderly divided courtyards, which have already moved my heart.


    Compared with the poor mountains and evil waters in the mountains, the wind and rain, can go out of the mountains to live, naturally is the best.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "next, you will take people back to the mountain forest and bring everyone out. Now, I believe they should rest assured. "


    "Yes


    He left with a smile, leaving behind shamoko and others.


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhao Yun and asked, "how many of the remaining barbarians have recovered their fighting capacity?"


    Zhao Yun replied, "please tell me, there are 8500 barbarians who can fight. The rest who are seriously injured or can no longer stay in the army have been resettled and let them stay as ordinary people. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "among the barbarians, I''ll take 8000 back to Xiangyang County, and I''ll take shamoke with me. As for the remaining five hundred barbarians, they broke up and were put into barracks. "


    "Yes


    Zhao Yun nodded without refuting.


    Lu Su''s eyes flashed a light.


    Eight thousand barbarians are a huge force. If you leave eight thousand barbarians in Youyang County, or break up and rush into the army, there will be some unstable factors. No one can guarantee whether the Wuxi people will have conflicts with the Han people in their next residence. Once there is a conflict, 8000 barbarians will easily be out of control.


    Now, Liu Xiu has directly taken shamoke and 8000 barbarians, which virtually weakens the strength of wuximan. Moreover, shamoke should also go to Xiangyang with him. Neither wuximen nor shamoke have any complaints.


    Liu Xiu looked at shamoke and asked, "shamoke, would you like to come back to Xiangyang with me?"


    "Yes, I do!"


    In shamoko''s heart, there are naturally ten thousand wishes.


    Just now Liu Xiu said that he would take eight thousand barbarians to Xiangyang. In this way, he also had a force under his command, which was sure to be reused by Liu Xiu.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came in quickly.


    This soldier''s clothes are the clothes of the royal guards. After Liu Xiu asked Deng Zhan to set up the royal guards, he asked Deng Zhan to readjust the clothes of the royal guards in order to distinguish them. After the soldiers of the royal guards came in, they hugged their fists and said, "my Lord, general Jianjun, please go back to Xiangyang immediately. It seems that Liu Bei of Xinye is going to send troops."


    Liu xiudao: "I know. I''ll go back immediately."


    After the soldiers of the royal guards retreated, Liu Xiu looked at Kuai Yue and said, "Yidu, it''s up to you to deal with Wuling county and Wuxi people. I hope you can make Wuling County Dazhi in the shortest time


    Kuai Yue arched his hand and said, "don''t worry, my Lord. I will do my best in my humble position."


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhao Yun and Lu Su again and said, "you two should also pay more attention in the army. Wuling county can be said to be the rear area of Jingzhou. We must ensure stability and a strong military force. "


    "Yes


    Zhao Yun and Lu Su nodded.


    Liu Xiu took shamoko and Huang Hu, and then mobilized 8000 barbarians to return to Xiangyang. In order to be in a hurry, shamoko ordered a general to lead 8000 barbarians on his way, while he, Liu Xiu and Huang Hu returned to Xiangyang first.

 Chapter 303

    Xiangyang, the prefecture of animal husbandry.


    After Liu Xiu, Huang Hu and shamoko returned, they directly invited Yi Ji, Kuai Liang and Pang Tong to their study.


    Liu Xiu asked, "what did Liu Bei do?"


    Pang Tong said, "when my Lord was in Youyang County, Liu Bei frequently mobilized his troops, and there was a great trend of going south. Just yesterday evening, we received the news that Liu Bei issued an address against the Lord. "


    Then Pang Tong took out a piece of cloth and handed it to Liu Xiu.


    The article of crusade is presented in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    Liu Bei issued a crusade, saying that Liu Xiu as a common son, can not inherit Jingzhou. At the same time, he attributed Liu Biao''s death to Liu Xiu, believing that it was caused by Liu Xiu.


    In a word, all the charges that can be given to Liu Xiuan are given to Liu Xiuan.


    After reading it, Liu Xiu said with a sneer, "Liu Bei is really clever. However, after waiting for him for such a long time, he finally waited for Liu Bei to send troops. This time, let Liu Bei completely fall into this war. "


    Pang Tong said: "it''s a pity that the last 20000 stone grain was wasted. In the twinkling of an eye, Liu Bei will be killed. "


    "Newspaper!"


    Outside the study, there was a knock on the door.


    Deng Zhan''s voice sounded outside the hall and said, "Lord, I have something urgent to report."


    "Come in!"


    Liu xiuphen said, and Deng Zhan pushed the door in.


    After entering his study, Deng Zhan reported: "Lord, Liu Bei made a pledge to send troops in Xinye, and personally led 25000 troops to Xiangyang."


    "Twenty five thousand!"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes showed a touch of brilliance.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Bei raised 25000 soldiers in a small Xinye.


    Liu xiudao: "when Liu Bei goes to battle, he will certainly leave some soldiers behind. So it''s not easy for Liu Bei to support nearly 30000 soldiers with a small Xinye. "


    Kuai Liang said in a deep voice: "Liu Bei has a deep mind and can''t be underestimated. My Lord, Liu Bei mobilized 25000 soldiers to kill him. He thought that the first army should be sent north to support him. At the same time, he thought that he could transfer part of Zhao Yun''s third army. When necessary, Huang Zhong''s second army has to be transferred. "


    Deng Zhan shook his head and said, "Kuai is engaged in military affairs. We can''t transfer the second army. Because in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu organized 30000 troops to attack Changsha County. Now Huang Zhong''s third army is also under great pressure. "


    Speaking of Zhou Yu, Deng Zhan had a touch of worry in his eyes and said: "this time, Liu Bei and Sun Quan sent troops at the same time, which means that they have united. Now there is no war, only the second army under Zhao Yun. "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu looked serious.


    After all, the forces of Liu Bei and Jiangdong United.


    This war is the first since Liu Xiu took charge of Jingzhou. Even in Liu Xiu''s view, this is the first world war that concerns the future of Jingzhou.


    If Liu Xiu and Sun Quan were defeated, Jingzhou would be established and dominate the south.


    If he is defeated, Liu Xiu may lose Jingzhou and become a lost dog. Therefore, in any case, Liu Xiu must win the battle, not be careless.


    Liu xiudao: "the situation has not come to a point of collapse. There is no need to transfer soldiers from the second and third armies for the time being. The day after tomorrow at the latest, there will be 8500 barbarians arriving in Xiangyang. At that time, this is the new force that has arrived at Liu Bei. " He looked at shamoko and said, "shamoko, the war is coming. Can you meet the 8000 barbarians under your command?"


    Shamoko patted his chest and said, "my Lord, Wuxi Erlang is never afraid of war."


    Liu Xiu nodded with a smile in his eyes.


    Kuai Liang had a surprised expression on his face. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu went to wuximan and brought back 8000 barbarians. It''s incredible.


    Eight thousand soldiers, together with Xiangyang''s own soldiers, are already a strong force.


    Pang Tong''s face was even more smiling, and he said slowly: "I was worried about the troops, but now it seems that we are not short of troops. Liu Bei''s 25000 troops have a detailed plan for this battle. "


    As Liu Xiu''s military adviser, Pang Tong has a keen eye.


    When Liu Xiu went south, Pang Tong was studying how to defeat Liu Bei, because in Pang Tong''s view, Liu Bei was humiliated by Liu Xiu, and even Zhuge Liang had been beaten repeatedly. With Zhuge Liang''s character, it was impossible to swallow this tone. Sooner or later, there would be a war between the two sides.


    This battle is coming so soon.


    Pang Tong''s early plan can be implemented.


    Liu Xiu, with a strong smile, asked, "Shiyuan, how can you make a plan?"


    Pang Tong said: "after eight thousand barbarians arrived in Xiangyang, please take out five thousand elite to stay in the city, and I will arrange the remaining three thousand elite In this way, we are more flexible. "


    "In addition, the first army of wenpin needs to dispatch 3000 soldiers to Xiangyang for support."


    "After all, this war needs a lot of military support."


    Pang Tong, confident and calm, said: "Liu Bei led the army to kill 25000 people. It seems fierce, but in fact it is strong in the outside and weak in the middle. Liu Bei will definitely lose if he is targeted at him a little bit. "After listening to Pang Tong''s plan, Liu Xiu said: "Shiyuan, if this plan is to be completed, there must be a eloquent person to go. Who is suitable?"


    Pang Tong said: "nature is the next!"


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "since that''s the case, it''s hard for you. I will strictly carry out your plan, and I look forward to the day when your plan will succeed. "


    "Yes


    Pang Tong bowed his hand and returned to his seat.


    At this time, Deng Zhandao said: "Lord, there is another thing about Fu Xun and Liu Xian."


    Liu Xiu asked, "what happened to them?"


    Deng Zhan replied: "these days, Liu Xian often goes to Fu Xun''s house to discuss things unknown. At the same time, a stranger often comes in and out of their house. "


    When Liu Xiu heard the string song, he understood it and said, "what you mean is that they have been bribed by Liu Bei and are planning a rebellion."


    "Yes! But at present, there is no exact evidence


    Deng Zhan nodded and looked serious.


    Because Liu Xiu gave the order, the royal guards can investigate, but if they want to arrest and interrogate, they must be approved by Liu Xiu. If it were not for this restriction, Deng Zhan would have already arrested people.


    Yi Ji''s expression is cold, way: "Lord, key time, rather catch wrong also can''t let go.". In the critical period, there should be no mistakes. Please arrest them and control them first. "


    Kuai Liang also said: "if you take one step, you lose everything. Although not sure for the time being, they are at least suspected. Therefore, the humble position also agrees to take down two people. "


    At this time, Deng Zhan''s eyes are full of expectations.


    "Dong! Dong


    Knock on the door, once again outside the room.


    The voice of the attendant came, reporting: "my Lord, Fu Xun asked to see you."


    Liu Xiu raised a smile at the corner of his mouth. Unexpectedly, he said Fu Xun, and Fu Xun came on his own initiative. He looked at the people under his command, told everyone to wait in the study, and then said: "please come to the hall, I will come right away."


    Liu Xiu took Huang Hu and went to the hall.


    In the hall, Fu Xun met Liu Xiu and bowed himself.


    Liu Xiu looked serious and asked, "Fu Xun, what''s the matter?"


    Fu Xun said: "my Lord, I came here to recommend talents to you. Liu Bei issued an address to denounce the Lord. I am worried about the situation in Xiangyang, but I happen to meet a talented person and say that I have a way to defeat Liu Bei without any difficulty. "


    "I wanted him to come to see my Lord and state his plan to defeat the enemy, but he refused to. He also said that if my Lord was sincere, he would visit him in person."


    "For the time being, he lives in a humble house."


    "What I think of in my humble position is that this man is really extraordinary in speech and strategy. If you miss it, it''s a pity. Besides, my Lord is always thirsty for talents. If you miss it, it''s also a pity. "


    Fu Xun, with a look of consideration for Liu Xiu, said, "I want to go to my Lord in person. If he really has a plan to defeat Liu Bei, it is naturally the best. Even if not, it''s also a talent. The Lord can take it for his own use. "


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed, a look of examination.


    In my eyes, a cold light flashed.


    Fu Xun''s eyes were slightly erratic, and he did not dare to face Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    Liu Xiu shook his head in his heart. If he didn''t know what Deng Zhan said, he would not doubt Fu Xun. But now it''s almost three hundred taels of silver. Fu Xun''s erratic eyes, in particular, reveal a lot of news.

 Chapter 304

    Liu Xiu asked again, "Fu Xun, what''s his name?"


    Fu Xun''s heart leaped, but in the face of Liu Xiu''s inquiry, he replied, "my Lord, this man''s name is Dong Liang. He is from Yingchuan and has a lot of talent."


    Liu Xiu nodded his head and said, "it''s rare for Mr. Fu to recommend talents for the overall situation of Jingzhou. This time, I have to go. I can''t let the other party down. "


    "The LORD said it


    Fu Xun''s eyes showed a bright smile.


    Liu Xiu said, "wait a moment. I''ll change my clothes. Today, I just came back from Youyang County. It''s not appropriate to see Mr. Dong Liang like this. "


    After that, without waiting for Fu Xun to speak, Liu Xiu turned and went back to the hospital.


    When he got to the study, Liu Xiu glanced at all the people and said in a deep voice, "Fu Xun came to my official to recommend a man named Dong Liang. According to him, Dong Liang had a plan to wipe out Liu Bei''s army. However, Dong Liang was talented and didn''t want to come to see him. He was waiting at Fu Xun''s house and wanted me to visit him. Hum, Fu Xun is really diligent. "


    After hearing this, Yi Ji understood Fu Xun''s intention and said directly: "Lord, Fu Xun must know that it is impossible to succeed in dealing with him, so he chose this strategy. As long as the LORD goes to Fu Xun''s house, he can take him. This Fu Xun is damned. The Lord has treated him very well. Unfortunately, he is not satisfied


    Kuai Liang said: "Lord, order to arrest Fu Xun."


    In fact, Deng Zhan is the most excited person now. The royal guards under his command are finally going to come in handy, because the opportunity is already in front of us!


    Deng Zhan volunteered: "Lord, please order."


    Liu Xiuse said: "Deng Zhan listens to the order!"


    "I''m in a humble position!"


    Deng Zhan stood up straight with sharp eyes, like a sharp sword.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "you lead the royal guards and immediately go to Fu Xun''s house to arrest the peddlers. Then you control the people in Fu Xun''s house. No one is allowed to leave. Later, I will take Fu Xun to the Fu family. When I arrive, can I solve all the problems? "


    "Don''t worry, my Lord," he said


    "Well, you go!"


    As soon as Liu Xiu waved his hand, he saw Deng Zhan leave quickly.


    Liu Xiu looked at Pang Tong and said, "Shiyuan, I will arrange everything about Xiangyang City. Now, go ahead with your plan. Don''t worry about Xiangyang. "


    "No!"


    Pang Tong stood up and left his study.


    Liu Xiu looked at Yi Ji and Kuai Liang and said with a smile, "wait a moment for me to change my clothes. Then we follow Fu Xun to see a good play. "


    "Yes


    The faces of Yi Ji and Kuai Liang showed a smile.


    When Liu Xiu changed his clothes, he took Kuai Liang and Yi Ji to the hall.


    Liu Xiu looked a little heavy and said slowly: "it happened that Yi Ji and Kuai Liang were also at home. They heard that Dong Liang had a plan to break Liu Bei, and they were very curious to see who Dong Liang was. Let''s go to your house. "


    "Yes


    Fu Xun''s heart, a burst of excitement, but also joy.


    Liu Xiu just went alone. Now he took Kuai Liang and Yi Ji. That would be better.


    In Xiangyang City, Kuai Liang and Yi Ji are very important people, if they are controlled. Then, Liu Bei''s attack on Xiangyang will be of great help.


    Fu Xun waved his hand and said, "Lord, yibie, Kuai, please!"


    People, go out.


    Fu Xun''s eyes fell on Huang Hu who followed Liu Xiu. To win Liu Xiu, Huang Hu is a very difficult role. However, Fu Xun relaxed at the thought of his family''s network.


    As long as Liu Xiu goes, this time, Liu Xiu will be arrested.


    Liu Xiu, Kuai Liang and Yi Ji took a carriage, Huang Hu followed them on horseback, while Fu Xun took a carriage alone.


    Fu Xun sat in the carriage, expecting and anxious.


    He lifted the curtain of the carriage door, looked at the carriage in front of him, and shook his head.


    Liu Xiu''s carriage was so slow that it was like an ant crawling. But Fu Xun couldn''t urge him, he could only wait slowly. Generally speaking, a carriage only takes a quarter of an hour to get to Fu Xun''s house. But this time, it took two quarters of an hour to walk, doubling the time.


    When the carriage arrived outside Fu Xun''s house, Fu got out of the carriage with a happy expression. But when Fu Xun looked up at the gate, his mind went blank and his eyes widened, showing an incredible look.


    Royal Guards!


    At the gate, the royal guards are already standing.


    This, how is this possible?


    Fu Xun''s legs were weak and he was about to fall to the ground. He held on to the shaft and stabilized himself. At this moment, Fu Xun''s heart is cold. Has it been found? Otherwise, there can be no royal guards.How is that possible?


    He''s been very careful, very careful.


    Fu Xun took a deep breath and thought that it might be the royal guards accompanying him to protect Liu Xiu. Fu Xun was shocked and came to Liu Xiu''s carriage.


    At this time, Liu Xiu, Kuai Liang and Yi Ji had got out of the carriage.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Fu Xun, let''s go!"


    Fu Xun shook his head, stood beside Liu Xiu, waved his hand and said, "please first, my Lord."


    "In that case, I''m not polite. Zirou and Jibo, follow me to the mansion. " Liu Xiu''s big sleeve flicked and strode to the mansion. Fu Xun followed him. When he entered the mansion, he saw people wearing the official uniform of the royal guards everywhere.


    The whole Fu family has been controlled.


    As soon as Deng Yingyin came up to the exhibition hall, he entered.


    Deng Zhan bowed to salute and said, "Lord, I have caught Liu Xian and Dong Liang in my humble position. In addition, in the side room next to the hall, twenty swordsmen were found


    "Pa!"


    Fu Xun''s legs softened and he fell to the ground. His eyes already looked desperate.


    How is that possible?


    How could it be discovered.


    In Fu Xun''s eyes, he was completely desperate.


    Two royal guards came directly, dragged Fu Xun and followed Liu Xiu to the hall.


    After sitting down, Liu Xiu looked at the man kneeling on the ground and asked, "who is Dong Liang?"


    "I am!"


    Dong Liang knelt down on the ground. He was about 30 years old. His face was white, and he was very white.


    Liu xiudao: "tell me about your situation?"


    Deng Zhan had been interrogated before. Dong Liang was afraid of being beaten and didn''t dare to hide anything. He said truthfully, "I''m a member of Liu Bei''s staff. This time I came to Xiangyang, I want to capture the thief and capture the king. First I want to control Liu Jingzhou, and then I use Liu Jingzhou to order the guards to open the gate and welcome Liu Bei''s army into the city. I just didn''t expect to fail. "


    With a look of disdain on his face, Liu Xiu said sarcastically, "it''s just a fool talking in his dream that a person like you still wants to catch me. Don''t Liu Bei know that you are so stupid? "


    Dong Liang lowered his head, worried that he would be killed.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Liu Xian and asked, "Liu Xian, I asked myself, there is no one who can''t afford you. Why did he rebel with Fu Xun? "


    Liu Xian said, "I''ll report back to you, because of your rights. The Lord is wise, intelligent and decisive. He is also a courteous and virtuous corporal. He is a wise lord. However, under the command of the Lord, there is no place to use the talents of the generals. Uncle Liu promised me that as long as I succeed, I will take up a position in Jingzhou, so I am humbled. "


    After listening to the direct answer, Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "the heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than the paper."


    Liu Xiu looked at Fu Xun and asked, "Fu Xun, what about you?"


    Fu xunlang said: "I was greatly favored by the eldest son in my early years. This time, the eldest son wrote to me personally and asked me to do it. So I have to do it. "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu said, "you''ve done a good job. You all have your own reasons."


    Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and asked, "what should we do with Deng Zhan?"


    Deng Zhan replied, "please tell me, these three people should be killed. Because of the three men''s collusion with the enemy and betrayal, it is suggested that they should behead and show their heads to the public to warn those who have two hearts. "


    Liu xiudao: "in that case, beheading outside the south gate."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan immediately ordered, immediately, the royal guards soldiers came up, dragging the three to leave.


    Fu Xun and Liu Xian begged for mercy, and Dong Liang hoped Liu Xiu would spare his life, but Liu Xiu''s eyes were full of murders. How could Liu Xiu have spared them in such a situation.


    Kill when you kill!


    After the three were taken away, Liu Xiu took Kuai Liang and Yi Ji back to the prefecture.

 Chapter 305

    In Nanyang County, Liu Songyang and Nansong are under the control of Nanyang County.


    On March 25, the army of 25000 under Liu Bei came to the city.


    This time, Liu Bei did not send people to surrender, or even redundant words, directly ordered the siege. Under the command of Liu Xiu, the 25000 troops launched an orderly attack.


    In fact, Liu Bei and Sun Quan originally agreed on the first day of May, but finally chose to move ahead.


    The longer the delay, the more worried Liu Bei was.


    Liu Bei attacked the city, and Liu Xiu''s garrison on the city tower firmly defended.


    Five thousand barbarians, three thousand elite sent by wenpin, plus more than five thousand soldiers from Xiangyang City. There are more than 13000 soldiers in Xiangyang.


    Not only that, Xiangyang City''s catapult, rhubarb crossbow, bow and arrow and other equipment are all ready.


    Food, too, is enough.


    Under such circumstances, Liu Bei attacked Xiangyang City for three consecutive days, but failed to move forward. The most important thing is that Xiangyang City is surrounded by a moat, which makes it difficult for Liu Bei to cross.


    For a time, more than 20000 of Liu Bei''s soldiers froze outside the city, unable to move forward.


    After the war, Liu Xiu took a rest on the tower.


    Huang Chengyan, Huang Yueying and others command the attendants, carrying a big pot to the upper floor of the city, and then distribute meat cakes to all the soldiers. Not only Huang Chengyan, but also Pang Degong and Pang''s family took action to shuttle on the city tower.


    The resistance of Liu Bei''s army, Huang and Pang people have moved into the city, to avoid being affected in lumen mountain.


    After all the work, Huang Yueying comes to Liu Xiu.


    In her hand, Huang Yueying took a bowl of broth and three meat cakes. She looked worried and said, "my husband has been working hard all day. I have something to eat. It''s still a while before the dining room starts. "


    After Liu Xiu took it, he took three or two stutters, drank the broth and asked Huang Yueying to go back to her house to have a rest.


    Then, Liu Xiu inspected the city upstairs.


    One day after the battle, although Liu Bei''s offensive was defeated, many soldiers under Liu Xiu''s command were injured. Liu Xiu needed to appease and encourage them.


    The morale inside the city is still high, but Liu Bei outside the city can''t wait.


    Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took their seats in the big account of the army.


    This time, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fought in the south. Zhuge Liang and Chen Zhi stayed in Xinye to take charge of the overall situation and avoid problems in the rear.


    Liu Bei looked cold and said in a deep voice: "second brother, third brother, we stormed for three days. In these three days, we lost nearly a thousand soldiers, but we didn''t move forward. The city of Xiangyang is solid. If you don''t take Xiangyang quickly, it will affect the whole war situation. At that time, it will be us who will suffer. "


    Liu Bei was also puzzled about how to attack the city. He sighed and continued: "the military adviser provoked Fu Xun and Liu Xian to make them prepare to capture Liu Xiu, but they were both killed, so that they could not create civil strife for Liu Xiu. Now we attack the city from the outside. The city of Xiangyang is solid. If we want to attack it head on, I''m afraid it will be difficult to succeed in ten days and a half months. "


    As soon as Zhang Fei heard about it for ten days and a half a month, he suddenly got anxious and yelled: "not to mention what will happen after ten days and a half a month, the consumption of the ten days and a half a month, and the number of casualties of the soldiers, it''s already very terrible. After three days of siege, a thousand soldiers have been killed and wounded. In the long run, it will be us who can''t hold on first. Brother, we can''t delay. "


    Liu Bei was silent when he heard the speech.


    Suddenly, Guan Yu said, "brother, I remember lumen mountain is outside the city. Not only Pang Degong lives in lumen mountain, but also Liu Xiu''s father-in-law Huang Chengyan lives in lumen mountain, right? "


    Liu Bei''s sword eyebrows picked and said, "no, I can''t do that."


    At this time, Liu Bei understood Guan Yu''s intention, and was obviously ready to seize these people, and then threatened Liu Xiu.


    Guan Yu''s eyes narrowed and said, "brother, we won''t hurt Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan. However, now long attack, only with the help of them, let Liu Xiu open the gate. As long as Liu Xiu opened the gate, he would let them go. After all, they are famous people in Jingzhou and can''t be ignored. But it''s a matter of urgency. That''s the only way to do it. "


    Liu Bei shook his head and said, "once you do this, you will lose your heart."


    The soft expression on Guan Yu''s face disappeared, and there was a shadow on his face. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he said in a deep voice: "brother, if we can''t even conquer Xiangyang, what kind of people are there? Brother, have you forgotten how Liu Xiu humiliated us? Have you forgotten the 100000 stone grain? Have you forgotten about Zhao Yun? "


    After hearing this, Liu Bei also showed a trace of ferocity on his face.


    A moment later, Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu to lead a team of cavalry to mount lumen.


    Late at night, Guan Yu dragged his tired body and returned to the barracks with his soldiers.


    Guan Yu looked disappointed and said: "big brother, there is only one person left to guard the yard. This is true of the Pang family and the Huang family. No one left. According to Huang''s gatekeeper. Liu Xiu not only moved the Pang and Huang families into Xiangyang City, but also brought Xu Shu''s mother to live in the city. It''s impossible to use Liu Xiu''s people as a threat. ""Hiss!"


    Liu Bei took a cool breath and looked dignified.


    At this time, Liu Bei felt difficult, even such a mean trick would not work, Liu Xiu thought too carefully.


    Everything seems to be in Liu Xiu''s expectation.


    Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "brother, there is another situation that I think is very suspicious."


    "What''s the situation?" Liu Bei asked.


    Guan Yu, with sharp eyes, replied: "according to Liu Xiu''s plan, Liu Xiu has deployed the first army in Jiangling County. Now Xiangyang City is under siege, but wenpin, who is stationed in Jiangling County, has nothing to do with it. It seems that he is watching Liu Xiu under siege. What is the intention? "


    "Why?" Liu Bei asked


    Guan Yu replied: "I think wenpin is waiting for the opportunity. Once the soldiers under the elder brother''s command are tired, wenpin may suddenly launch an attack and give the elder brother a fatal blow at one stroke. "


    Zhang Fei''s expression was serious. On his rough face, he also had a worried expression. He said: "the second brother is right. The situation is very delicate. We must consider another way to break the city."


    Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and asked, "what''s your second brother''s plan?"


    Guan Yu replied, "I suggest that some soldiers be assigned to attack Zhonglu County, Yicheng County and Bian County in the south of Xiangyang. As long as you take these cities, Xiangyang will become a lonely city. "


    After hearing this, Liu Bei solemnly said: "the second brother''s analysis is reasonable. This time, Liu Xiu must be brewing a plot. It''s just that the plot this time is too weird to understand. "


    Guan Yu said: "no matter how much, first according to the established ideas, go south to conquer the city."


    Liu Bei nodded and agreed, and began to give the order.


    Early the next morning, Liu Bei left 15000 elite soldiers and sent 10000 troops south to Zhonglu county. Zhonglu county is not a big county, and Zhonglu County, to a great extent, relies on Xiangyang County, with weak troops and small walls. So that after Liu Bei''s 10000 elite arrived in Zhonglu County, he lost only a few hundred soldiers and easily captured Zhonglu county.


    Liu Bei''s army conquered Zhonglu county and quickly went south to Yicheng County.


    Yicheng County has thousands of elites. In addition, the Ma family in Yicheng has done their best to send all the strength of the family to the city to resist. Under the leadership of the Ma family in Yicheng, other ethnic groups in Yicheng County also sent their own private soldiers to resist.


    A small city of Yicheng has made up tens of thousands of soldiers.


    After one day''s attack, Liu Bei''s army didn''t get any benefits, so they had to camp outside the city.


    The news of Zhonglu county and Yicheng County quickly spread to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu looked serious. He looked at Yi Ji and Kuai Liang and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Ji Bo, Mr. Zi Rou, now Liu Bei''s siege forces have been greatly weakened. According to the news from the front, Liu Bei''s current strength is only about 15000, or even less than 15000. Under such circumstances, I think we can attack Liu Bei. If you don''t want to defeat Liu Bei, at least let Liu Bei get into trouble. "


    "Yes! I agree with the Lord''s decision. "


    Kuai Liang''s eyes showed a confident look, and he said in a loud voice: "it''s a taboo to divide troops before a battle. Now Liu Bei sent some soldiers to the south to capture other cities as a foundation. But he has forgotten that the Lord''s military strength is so strong that he can not only defend himself but also fight. "


    Yi Ji also said: "I also agree with the war!" Shamoko has not made any contribution under Liu Xiu''s command. Now he takes the initiative to attack, which means that his opportunity has come.


    Shamoko didn''t even think about it. He said: "Lord, shamoko is willing to be a pioneer."


    Five thousand barbarians under his command stayed in the city to guard the city. This way, shamoko doesn''t like it. Only out of the city to fight, that''s what Wu Xi''er Lang should do.


    Huang Hu was also unwilling to lag behind, and said in a loud voice: "Lord, the 1000 Flying Tiger battalion under his humble command has been established for some time. This period of time, has not been on the battlefield. This time, it''s time for the flying tiger camp to prove its strength. "


    Two tiger generals rub their hands and take the initiative to fight.

 Chapter 306

    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on them and said in a deep voice, "Huang Hu, I allow you to lead a thousand Flying Tiger battalions to fight."


    Flying Tiger camp is elite, but we must fight.


    An elite army, without the baptism of blood and fire, can not be an invincible army. Therefore, Liu Xiu agreed to Huang Hu''s request.


    "Thank you


    Huang Hu''s eyes were full of excitement.


    Shamoko clenched his fist and looked unhappy. He is straight hearted, what idea immediately appeared on his face. Obviously, he was not satisfied with Liu Xiu''s arrangement.


    After all, he asked first.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "shamoko, you also led a thousand barbarians to fight. You and Huang Hu, one on the left and the other on the right, took the lead in attacking Liu Bei''s camp. In this battle, I will personally fight for you. "


    "Yes


    As soon as he listened to Liu Xiu''s words, he had a smile on his face.


    It turned out that he was going to fight, too.


    Liu Xiu big sleeve a brush, command a way: "go down to prepare, prepare to go out of the city to fight."


    "Yes


    Huang Hu and shamoko got up and left at the same time.


    Liu Xiu also immediately went to the barracks, mobilized 3000 elite sent by Wen pin and 4000 barbarians, and led the army out of the city.


    The news of the army''s dispatch soon spread to Liu Bei''s camp.


    When Liu Bei learned that Liu Xiu had taken the initiative to leave the city, he rubbed his hands and said, "it''s good that Liu Xiu should have taken the initiative to leave the city. In this battle, we will defeat him head on. "


    Guan Yu seemed quite calm and said, "brother, we have just sent a part of our troops to Yicheng County. Now we are fighting with Liu Xiu, which is not good for us."


    Liu Bei shook his head and said, "second brother, with you and third brother leading the army, it''s enough to defeat Liu Xiu."


    Immediately, Liu Bei ordered: "beat the drum, ready to send troops."


    Guan Yu thinks about it, and thinks Liu Bei''s words are reasonable. He and Zhang Fei are peerless generals. They are enough to break through Liu Xiu''s army.


    "Dong! Dong


    The beating of drums is constantly ringing in the camp.


    In less than half a quarter of an hour, Liu Bei''s troops gathered, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led 1000 elite soldiers as pioneers to get out of the camp. Liu Bei gave up all his troops and led them to the rear.


    Liu Bei''s camp is ten miles away from Xiangyang City.


    Six miles outside Xiangyang City, Liu Xiu and Liu Bei''s troops met. Each side set up their own positions, and then began to give orders. On the broad battlefield, both sides sent out two vanguard arrays.


    Liu Xiu stood on a chariot, looked at the two sides of the array, and ordered: "beat the drum, attack!"


    "Dong! Dong


    All of a sudden, the sound of war drums resounds between heaven and earth.


    With the beating of the war drum, Huang Hu and shamoko raised their weapons at the same time and attacked rapidly.


    Huang Hu was already fierce, sexual and powerful. He swung his two golden hammers in his hands and roared: "sons. Today is the time for you to prove yourself. It''s the time for you to make contributions. Let me kill you! "


    "Kill


    A thousand Flying Tiger Battalion soldiers, echoed loudly and rushed out quickly.


    The soldiers of the flying tiger camp are all wearing armor, with a sharp steel knife in their hands.


    At this moment, the soldiers of the flying tiger camp are full of fighting spirit and can''t wait.


    As the saying goes, one soldier will bear a nest. Huang Hu is unrivalled and powerful, and so are his soldiers. They are rebellious, fierce and extremely overbearing.


    Compared with the fierce spirit of the flying tiger camp, the 1000 barbarians under shamoko''s command are full of wildness. Under shamoko''s leadership, they rush to each other.


    Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also led the army to fight.


    A moment later, the two armies engaged in a close fight.


    Shamoko''s eyes fall on Zhang Fei. As the saying goes, to capture the thief and the king, his target is the leader of the other party. Shamoko waved the Tribulus terrestris in his hand and roared: "black fat man, take your life."


    "Hoo


    The flower of Tribulus terrestris turns in the air, with a sharp whistling sound, and hits Zhang Fei.


    "To die!"


    Zhang Fei roared, his snake spear turned in the air, and banged on shamoko''s Tribulus terrestris. In an instant, the sparks were all around, and shamocco''s arms trembled. He felt that the unparalleled power was surging, and he could not resist it.


    Shamoko didn''t even think about it. He staggered his horse and roared, "kill!"


    This time, it was Zhang Fei''s soldiers who were killed.


    A stick of Tribulus terrestris bone, specially select Zhang Fei''s soldiers to smash the brains, one knock one.


    Zhang Fei is Leng for a while, what is this situation?


    Just now, this man wanted to kill him. Now he killed his soldiers in a flash.


    Zhang Fei turns his horse to kill shamoke, but shamoke knows his ability. Once he fights with Zhang Fei, he will be defeated. Even if he can save his life, he will be injured. Instead, it''s better to choose Zhang Fei''s soldiers to fight and not fight with him.Zhang Fei''s stomach is full of anger. He doesn''t want to kill shamoke. He feels uncomfortable. He keeps chasing shamoke and vows to kill shamoke.


    While the two sides are fighting, Huang Hu meets Guan Yu with the golden hammer of drum beating Weng.


    Huang Hu once met Guan Yu and knew that Guan Yu''s identity was very important. His eyes excited, roared: "red face thief, Fubo general, Huang Hu here, die."


    He rode up to Guan Yu.


    A golden hammer of a drum beating man was waving in the air, whistling.


    Guan Yu has been famous for many years, and his martial arts are famous all over the world. When he passed five passes and cut six generals, Huang Hu was still a child with yellow tongue. Now, Guan Yu was yelled by a hairy boy, and his face couldn''t hang. He is carrying green dragon Yan month knife, directly met up, roar a way: "yellow mouth child, suffer to die."


    "The green dragon covers the sky!"


    The cold blade suddenly swept the air.


    The green dragon Yanyue sword seems to turn into a blue dragon, carrying the unparalleled power and crashing down.


    With a look of disdain on his face, Huang Hu swung up two golden hammers and roared, "I don''t care what kind of dragon you are. If it''s a dragon, you can dish it for me. In front of me, no one dares to be arrogant. "


    "I''ll smash it!"


    The golden hammer of the drummer was whistling, leaving a shadow in the air, like a comet falling.


    "Dang!"


    The drum beating Weng''s golden hammer collided with the green dragon Yanyue sword, flashing a flash of Mars. After the collision, Huang Hu''s drum beating Weng''s hammer turned in the air with the help of the rebound force. The move rose again and said: "I''ll continue to smash it!"


    Guan Yu''s arms are numb, and his hands holding the handle are extremely crisp.


    However, the yellow tiger seems to be a God and a devil, and the golden hammer of the drum beating man in his hand is wielded repeatedly.


    Guan Yu didn''t even have time to retreat or avoid, so he had to wave a knife to meet him.


    "Boom!"


    The blade of the sword collides with the golden hammer of the drum beating Weng, and Guan Yu''s red rabbit horse kicks back.


    "Poof!"


    Guan Yu''s Qi and blood surged, and he couldn''t suppress it at all. When he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Huang Hu''s strike just now not only injured the mouth of the tiger holding the handle, but also slightly shocked his internal organs. Seeing that Huang Hu had to fight again, Guan Yu caught the belly of the red rabbit horse in his legs. He turned around and retreated to the soldiers under his command. He didn''t want to fight Huang Hu again.


    Huang Hu''s drum beating Weng''s golden hammer moves are swift and domineering, just fierce and powerful, which are hard to resist.


    Even Guan Yu, it is difficult to rob his edge.


    Seeing that Guan Yu had run away, Huang Hu was very angry. He ran after Guan Yu with a drum beating hammer and roared: "Guan Yu is defeated. Kill him! Flying Tiger camp, kill


    Huang Hu''s voice was loud. When the soldiers of Feihu camp heard it, they looked up and saw that Huang Hu was chasing Guan Yu with two golden hammers. Guan Yu didn''t dare to stop to fight, but kept running away.


    This scene stimulated the soldiers of the flying tiger camp.


    "Kill


    "Kill


    The soldiers of the flying tiger camp roared, one by one fighting high spirited, killing the vanguards under Guan Yu to retreat.


    At this time, Guan Yu was extremely depressed. He is a world-famous general. He was chased by Huang Hu and yelled at him. It''s unforgivable.


    Even Guan Yu''s morale was affected.


    When the morale of Guan Yu''s army fell sharply and was crushed by the flying tiger camp, shamoko had already killed Zhang Fei''s soldiers, and he didn''t know how many times.


    Shamoko''s barbarians are also very fierce, and they are not afraid of death. After a fight, they have completely suppressed Zhang Fei''s morale.


    Looking at the battlefield from a distance, Liu Xiu''s army is constantly advancing, and Liu Bei''s soldiers are constantly retreating.


    This curtain fell in Liu Bei''s eyes, and Liu Bei''s face was full of ferocious look.


    The vanguard is defeated!


    This result is what Liu Bei does not want to see in any case.


    Standing on the chariot, Liu Xiu saw that the vanguard led by shamoko and Huang Hu had won, and his eyes showed a smile of expectation. He was waiting for Liu Bei to send troops to meet him, and then Liu Xiu sent troops to stop him.


    Even if Liu Bei could not be defeated in this war, at least Liu Bei''s army would be hit.

 Chapter 307

    Sure enough, seeing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were defeated, Liu Bei immediately ordered his soldiers to come forward to meet them. Liu Xiu seized the opportunity and ordered the soldiers on the left and right wings to attack.


    The two sides opened the battlefield, using the vanguard as the fuse to ignite the war.


    On the battlefield, both sides of the war are fighting. However, with the deepening of Huang Hu and shamoko, they seemed to be two sharp cones and entered Liu Bei''s soldiers. No one could stop them, and those who blocked them were invincible, which affected the morale of Liu Bei''s army.


    Liu Bei saw that the situation was not good, and finally continued to invest in the soldiers, relying on the advantage of the number of people, to eliminate the fatigue.


    After half an hour of fighting, the two sides failed to decide the outcome.


    Liu Xiu saw the soldiers under his command show fatigue, decisively ordered the withdrawal. Liu Xiu''s army retreated, neatly retreated from the battlefield, and retreated in the direction of Xiangyang City.


    When Liu Bei saw Liu Xiu''s withdrawal, his first thought was to pursue him. However, after fighting for such a long time, seeing that the soldiers under his command were also exhausted, and that there were still soldiers in Liu Xiu city who did not go out to fight, and there might even be ambushes to meet them, he had to restrain his mind and ordered to withdraw.


    The two armies withdrew respectively, and Liu Bei''s barracks.


    With a solemn expression on his face, Guan Yu reported: "brother, we have killed more than 1400 soldiers in this war. The loss of this day is the loss of the siege in the past few days. "


    Liu Bei''s face became more gloomy when he heard the speech.


    Such a loss, too big!


    After the army arrived in Xiangyang, his soldiers were constantly consumed.


    Up to now, nearly 3000 soldiers have been lost. Liu Bei is distressed by the loss. Because every soldier was recruited with great efforts.


    "We have lost so many soldiers, and Liu Xiu has lost too," Zhang Fei said


    Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu''s loss must be smaller than ours. Maybe not even a thousand people lost. This war still failed to cause heavy damage to Liu Xiu. "


    At this time in Liu Bei''s heart, incomparable disappointment.


    He began to miss the days when Zhuge Liang was around him. If Zhuge Liang were here, he might have come up with a plan to defeat the enemy. It''s a pity that Zhuge Liang and Chen Dao are going to stay in Xinye and can''t go south with them.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier entered the camp and said, "my Lord, the news from Zhonglu county." With these words, the soldier took out a letter sealed with lacquer from his arms and handed it to Liu Bei.


    Liu Bei opened it and looked at it carefully. His expression was even more gloomy.


    Seeing this, Guan Yu asked, "brother, what happened?"


    Liu Bei replied: "ten thousand elites who conquered Zhonglu county were blocked in Yicheng County. First, Yicheng County fought so hard that Yicheng County could not be conquered. Then wenpin suddenly led 3000 elite raids to directly cover up our troops. Caught off guard, 10000 troops suffered losses. Although they have stabilized their formation and resisted the attack, the losses now exceed 1500. In addition, after Wen pin won the battle, he quickly withdrew and even withdrew to Jiangling County. "


    Guan Yu frowned and his eyes were full of worry.


    This war is not going well.


    Zhang Fei said: "brother, in my opinion, our situation is not good. Why don''t we wait for a while? Jingzhou was attacked not only by us, but also by Jiangdong. Let''s take a break, let''s take a break. If Zhou Yu has made a breakthrough and made new progress, he can influence the whole situation of Jingzhou. "


    After listening, Liu Bei''s face showed a thoughtful expression. A moment later, Liu Bei said, "it''s OK. For the time being, we can only do this. Let the soldiers adjust first."


    ¡­¡­


    Xiangyang City, on the tower.


    After counting the losses in this war, Huang Hu stood in front of Liu Xiu and reported: "Lord, we have killed 865 people in this war. But in this war, we have gained an advantage, and Liu Bei''s loss should be greater. I believe that now I can take the initiative to attack Liu Bei. We are sure to win this battle. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "the initiative in this battle has lost 800 soldiers. This kind of frontal fighting, once was enough. Now Liu Bei has divided his troops. After he was attacked by us, he lost a lot of soldiers. He will stop for a while and will not attack again. Then we don''t send troops, both sides are wasting time. The longer the delay, I believe, the better for us. "


    At this time, Pang Tong''s plan appeared in Liu Xiu''s mind. He didn''t know how Pang Tong''s plan was going?


    ¡­¡­


    After Pang Tong left Xiangyang, he went all the way to the southwest and went directly to Yizhou.


    After entering Yizhou, he went straight to Chengdu.


    Along the way, Pang Tong never stopped. He never had a rest. When I arrived in Chengdu, I was already haggard and exhausted.


    He is still no rest, directly to Zhang Ren''s house, found Zhang Ren.


    In the hall, the guest and host are seated.


    Zhang Ren looked at Pang Tong, saw Pang Tong''s haggard appearance, and said, "how can Pang Jun Shi be so haggard? What happened in Jingzhou? "Pang Tong gave a slight smile and replied: "General Zhang, Jingzhou has really met a big event. Today, Liu Bei and Sun Quan unite to attack Jingzhou. "


    Zhang Rendao: "Liu Bei is the hero in the world, and Sun Quan is also the overlord. Now that the two sides unite to attack Jingzhou, I''m afraid it''s dangerous. "


    Pang Tong shook his head and said, "General Zhang, you think highly of Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Do you really think this war is dangerous? "


    Zhang Rendao said: "in the face of Liu Bei and Sun Quan''s army, even if Liu Jingzhou has such big killers as rhubarb crossbow and catapult, even if Liu Jingzhou is smart and capable, I think it is very difficult."


    Pang Tong put up three fingers and said, "in my opinion, there are three reasons why the Lord will win."


    Zhang Ren asked, "I''m all ears!"


    Pang Tong replied: "first, the Lord has recently recovered wuximan in Wuling county. Shamoke, the king of wuximan, led 8000 barbarians to surrender. Not only that, all the wuximan have moved out of the mountains and lived in Youyang County. As we all know, the barbarians are valiant, rebellious and even more fearless of death. "


    "This army entered the Lord''s command, and now it''s even in Xiangyang City. With the help of barbarians, they are a major force in fighting against Liu Bei. "


    "Second, the Lord took office and set up three military barracks. The first army is stationed in Jiangling County, headed by wenpin, with more than 20000 elite troops; the second army is stationed in you County, Changsha County, headed by Huang Zhong, with more than 20000 elite troops; the third army is stationed in Qianling County, Wuling County, with more than 20000 elite troops. Now there are more barbarians to supplement their forces, and they are even more powerful. "


    "The soldiers in the three barracks are equipped with the most elite weapons and form a triangle. Even if Xiangyang and Changsha are attacked by Liu Bei and Sun Quan, they can support each other at any time. "


    "Third, Huang Zu will not sit back and ignore. Huang Hu, the son of Huang Zu, led the flying tiger camp under the command of the Lord and took charge of the army alone. Now in the face of war, once Xiangyang is in trouble, Huang Zu''s army will certainly support. Therefore, Jingzhou''s troops are more than enough to resist Sun Quan and Liu Bei, and they are not afraid of the Allied forces of Liu Bei and Sun Quan. "


    Pang Tong''s face was confident and said, "General Zhang, in fact, there are more reasons than that. It''s just that there''s no need to elaborate. Jingzhou is a win-win situation, but this time the Lord not only wanted to swallow Liu Bei and defeat Sun Quan, but also taught Cao Jun a lesson, so he sent him down to Chengdu to visit Liu Yizhou. "


    Zhang Ren narrowed his eyes after listening.


    Pang Tong''s words, he carefully analyzed, it is true. With this premise, it means that it will not be too difficult for Liu Xiu to block the attacks of Liu Bei and Sun Quan.


    Zhang Ren asked: "Pang Jun division, if it is only for this reason, it will be very difficult to persuade the Lord to send troops. And even if the LORD sent troops, it was a symbolic one. "


    After all, Jingzhou and Yizhou are allied. Zhang Ren did not hide his idea.


    Pang Tong said with a little smile: "it''s OK to persuade Liu Yizhou. Naturally, I have found a good reason. So general Zhang doesn''t have to worry. "


    Zhang Ren said with a smile: "so, I''m relieved." After a pause, Zhang Ren waved his hand and said, "commander Pang will go back for a while and wait for the news. I''ll go to see the Lord to report the news, and then I''ll make an appointment with the other commander."


    "Yes


    Pang Tong nodded, told Zhang Ren where he lived, and then left.

 Chapter 308

    After returning to the inn, Pang Tong inquired about Fazheng''s residence and went directly.


    When he came to the gate of legalism, Pang Tong handed over a famous thorn. Soon, Fazheng came out to meet him. With a bright smile on his face, Fazheng arched his hand and said, "Pang Junshi is a rare guest in Chengdu. Come on, please


    As for the situation in Jingzhou, Fazheng is also concerned.


    According to the latest news that Jingzhou was attacked by Sun Quan and Liu Bei, Pang Tong obviously came for this.


    Pang Tong arched his hand and said, "please!"


    When they entered the hall, Pang Tong found that there was a short, ugly man sitting in the hall.


    When Pang Tong saw the man, he had a smile in his heart. His own appearance was rather unsightly, and the middle-aged man''s appearance was more unsightly than his.


    However, Pang Tong didn''t show the slightest expression on his face, because he knew that the other party would care about his appearance. Once he did so, he would certainly offend the other party.


    Fazheng took the initiative to introduce: "Pang Junshi, this is Zhang song, Zhang ziqiao. It''s under the Lord''s account. Brother ziqiao also has great respect for Liu Jingzhou. "


    In a word, Pang Tong will understand.


    Pang Tong arched his hand and said, "I''ve seen brother ziqiao, and I''m in my early 30s. Now I''m in Yizhou. I''m enviable."


    Listening to the compliment, Zhang Song felt comfortable, waved his hand and said, "Pang Jun Shi is very polite. He is not as powerful as Pang Jun Shi. Liu Jingzhou is a brilliant young man with a promising future. With Liu Jingzhou, commander Pang will surely have a great future. "


    After Pang Tong heard this, he had an idea in his heart.


    Zhang Song''s voice over has some meaning.


    Pang Tong also hit the snake with the stick and said: "brother ziqiao, before I came to Yizhou, my lord once said that Bashu is rich in natural resources and outstanding in people. Let me make good friends with the talents of Yizhou. Brother ziqiao, my Lord is courteous to the virtuous corporal. If he is thirsty for talent, he also admires such a great virtuous man as brother ziqiao! "


    What I said is very explicit.


    Fazheng chuckled and shook his head, waved his hand and said, "well, you two don''t boast about each other. Sit down and say."


    The three looked at each other and laughed, then sat down.


    FA Zheng asked, "why did Pang Junshi come to Sichuan this time?"


    Pang Tong also did not hide, directly said: "Jingzhou was attacked by Liu Bei and Sun Quan, Yizhou and Jingzhou are allies. So this time I''m here to invite Liu Yizhou to send troops. "


    As soon as these words came out, the expressions on Fazheng''s and Zhang Song''s faces became serious.


    "Hard!"


    Zhang Song frowned and shook his head.


    Fazheng said: "the Lord has always been self-defense. It''s very difficult for him to send troops. Pang Junshi, Jingzhou and Yizhou formed an alliance, the main purpose is to hope that when Yizhou encountered difficulties, Liu Jingzhou can send troops to help. It''s not that Liu Jingzhou has encountered difficulties and asked the Lord to send troops to help him. "


    After a pause, Fazheng said: "Pang Junshi, I''m not hiding it from you. Even if brother ziqiao tried to persuade me, I''m afraid it''s very difficult."


    Pang Tong said with a smile: "brother ziqiao, Xiaozhi, I believe Liu Yizhou will send troops?"


    "Why?"


    Fazheng and Zhang Song look at each other, and both of them are surprised. Both of them couldn''t think of any reason to make Pang Tong so confident.


    Pang Tong''s idea is not slow.


    After that, Pang Tong waited quietly.


    After thinking for a moment, Zhang Song said in a deep voice: "with the reason of commander Pang, it really won''t be a problem to persuade the Lord to send troops. Please don''t worry about Pang Jun. I''ll give you advice then. Please send your troops. "


    FA Zheng also said with a smile: "Pang Jun Shi has grasped the Lord''s lifeline. It''s really powerful to lure him with benefits. I''ll help Pang Jun Shi myself!"


    "Thank you very much!"


    Pang Tong smiles and thinks that he didn''t expect to let Fazheng and Zhang Song agree to help.


    Pang Tong said something else. Then he left and went back to the inn to wait for the news. In the afternoon, Zhang Ren finally sent someone to send a message, asking Pang Tong to go to the prefecture.


    Liu Zhang is going to hold a banquet in his house to help him.


    Pang Tong showed a smile on his face. In fact, there was another purpose of the so-called "take over the wind and wash the dust", that is to examine him and make him difficult. If Pang Tong had convinced Liu Zhang''s people, he would have given enough reasons. Then the issue of sending troops will not be a problem. On the contrary, if Pang Tong was made difficult by Liu Zhang''s people, he would have nothing to say, and the situation would be different.


    Pang Tong straightened up and cleaned up his beard. Although he was not good-looking, he had to give people a clean and tidy feeling at least.


    Arriving at the prefecture, his subordinates led Pang Tong into the hall.


    In the hall, Liu Zhanggao sits on the throne.


    Liu Zhang is in his early thirties. He has a good appearance, but his face is slightly feminine. It gives people a feeling of indecision and weakness, and lacks the hegemony and courage of a local herdsman.


    Next to Liu Zhang, don''t drive Zhang song. The captain of the school, FA Zheng, Chengdu county magistrate Li Yan, Zhang Ren, and a group of civil servants and military generals all sit upright.After Pang Tong entered, he arched his hand and said, "military adviser Pang Tong, meet Liu Yizhou."


    Liu Zhang said with a smile, "Pang Jun, please sit down!"


    Thank you, Liu Yizhou


    Pang Tong bowed his hand to thank him, and then took his seat at the first place on the left side of the hall.


    At this time, Zhang Song stood up and said in a loud voice: "I heard that commander Pang''s visit was due to the joint attack of Liu Bei and Sun Quan in Jingzhou. This time, did Mr. Pang come for help? "


    Before Pang Tong arrived, Liu Zhang summoned the people under his command and said what Pang Tong had come for. Now after Pang Tong''s audience, Zhang Song immediately came forward to ask.


    But he looked at Pang Tong with a smile in his eyes. His so-called inquiry seems to be tricky, but in fact it is to let Pang Tong throw out what he wants to say, and it is to let Pang Tong have something to say on purpose.


    At this moment, everyone''s eyes fell on Pang Tong, waiting for his answer.


    Pang Tong said calmly and humbly, "it''s wrong for Zhang BIE to drive here. I''m not here to ask for help, but to present the land of liuyizhou as a gift."


    This remark caused an uproar.


    One by one, there was a lot of discussion.


    In Liu Zhang''s eyes, there was a look of curiosity. Liu Zhang''s character is relatively weak, and he is more afraid of fighting. It must be unwillingness for him to send troops to save Liu Xiu. Now Pang Tong directly said that he would give a county as a gift to attract Liu Zhang, and successfully led to Liu Zhang''s greed.


    Zhang Song snorted and asked, "Pang Jun Shi, I''m afraid he''s talking big. A county is no joke. "


    Pang Tong said: "Zhang Biejia, please listen to me next!"


    Zhang Song said, "all ears!"


    Pang Tong said: "in the eyes of our Lord, to defeat Liu Bei and Sun Quan is as simple as turning over one''s hand. What my Lord is worried about is that when he defeats Liu Bei, Cao Ren''s army will intervene and affect the overall situation. "


    "Therefore, my lord plans to present the whole Nanyang County to Liu Yizhou."


    "Liu Bei sent 25000 troops to attack Xiangyang. Xinye is empty. Liu Yizhou only needs to send a general to collect Xinye and other cities easily."


    Pang Tong said with a smile, "it''s easy to win Nanyang County. Why not do it?"


    Zhang Song seemed to be specifically against Pang Tong. He sneered twice and said immediately, "I''m afraid that commander Pang has forgotten one thing. As you said just now, what Liu Jingzhou is most worried about is the intervention of Cao Cao Cao''s army. Our Lord sent a general to Nanyang County. Although he conquered Xinye and other cities, he would also be attacked by Cao''s army. I''m afraid it''s hard to resist. "


    On Liu Zhang''s face, there was a deep expression.


    Good question!


    Liu Shengzhang is not as clever as Pang. So, Pang Jun, please don''t cheat me. "


    Lying to you?


    Pang Tong sneered in his heart. If you are smart, you will not let the people below deviate.


    Pang Tong, with a smile on his face, said without hesitation: "Liu Yizhou, my Lord is honest and magnanimous. How can he make an incomplete consideration? Let Liu Yizhou collect Nanyang County, is the real gift


    "In fact, the Lord has sent an army into Nanyang County. If this elite is to be stationed in the counties of Xinye, or to be collected from the counties, it will be difficult. "


    "Under such circumstances, in order to completely stabilize the situation of Nanyang County, the Lord thought that since he was an ally with Liu Yizhou, he would simply give Nanyang County to Liu Yizhou."


    "Once Liu Yizhou collects all the counties, Cao Ren will send troops."


    "As soon as Cao Ren sends out his troops, the forces arranged by the Lord in Nanyang County will immediately send out to give Cao Ren a fatal blow."


    Pang Tong said: "the reason why he tried so hard is to give Cao Ren a fatal blow. Liu Yizhou, this is our Lord''s cooperation with you. You collect all the counties in Nanyang County, but the Lord not only wants to cut off Liu Bei''s back road, but also wants to weaken Cao Cao''s power at one stroke. "


    After hearing this, Liu Zhang''s eyes were already shining.


    Zhang Song arched his hand, then returned to the seat and did not speak any more, as if he had been convinced.


    Liu Zhang asked, "Xiaozhi, what do you think?"


    Fazheng replied, "report back to my Lord. I think I can send troops."


    Liu Zhang asked again, "Li Yan, what do you think?"


    Li Yan smiles a little and replies: "Lord, if you can win the counties of Nanyang County, it''s good. In this way, we can connect with Shangyong, Fangling county and other places. It''s also a good choice. " In fact, Li Yan didn''t agree with sending troops, but he already saw that Liu Zhang had been talked about. Under such circumstances, he simply didn''t refute, so as not to be bored.


    Liu Zhang nodded and said, "Pang Junshi, Yizhou and Jingzhou are allies. They share the same spirit. They are both prosperous and lose each other. Now Jingzhou is attacked by Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and Yizhou has no reason to sit back and ignore. I decided to send troops to attack Nanyang County. "


    Pang Tong arched his hand and said, "thank you, Liu Yizhou!"


    Liu Zhang''s big sleeve flicked and ordered: "Zhang Ren listens to the order!""I''m in a humble position!"


    Zhang Yibu stands up and salutes.


    Liu Zhang''s face was serious, and he ordered in a deep voice: "you lead 10000 troops and go to Nanyang County immediately to help Liu Jingzhou put down the rebellion in Nanyang County."


    "No!"


    Zhang Ren holds his fist and responds directly.


    It was after the talks that Liu Zhang officially held a banquet for Pang Tong. Pang Tong''s drinking capacity is also quite good, and he talks and laughs.


    For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was warm.


    After the banquet, Pang Tong went back to the inn to have a rest.


    The next morning, Pang Tong and Zhang yierdao led their troops to Shangyong county. The army rushed all the way to Shangyong County, passed Fangling County, and then directly inserted into Nanyang County.

 Chapter 309

    Into April, the weather gradually hot up, every day is sunny.


    On the tower, the soldiers on guard were wearing less and less clothes.


    Liu Xiu was just wearing a single dress with a sword hanging from his waist and patrolling up and down the city tower.


    During this period of time, Liu Bei did not take the initiative to attack, so that the defensive task of Xiangyang City was much easier. But Liu Xiu did not dare to relax. If Liu Bei suddenly launched an attack, the situation would be different.


    "Da! Dada


    All of a sudden, on the official road outside Xiangyang City, a figure rushes quickly.


    It was Zhang Fei who came.


    Zhang Fei, wearing a helmet and armor, carrying a Zhang eight snake spear in his hand and riding a Wu Zhui horse on his hip, stopped outside the city tower and roared, "Liu Xiu, little child, how dare grandfather Zhang fight here?"


    Originally, Liu Bei did not allow Zhang Fei to fight.


    However, Zhang Fei was in the camp. He had no drink or war. He really had nothing to do. He was so flustered that he found a reason to leave the camp and went straight to Xiangyang City.


    Even if he doesn''t attack the city, it''s good for him to fight.


    After Liu Xiu saw Zhang Fei on the tower, there was a chill in his eyes.


    Zhang Fei is here, so stay.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Hu behind him and said, "Hu Zi, go out of the city and pick up Zhang Fei so that he won''t be arrogant. He is Liu Bei''s second younger brother. Taking him will be of great use to fight against Liu Bei. "


    "Good!"


    With a smile, Huang Hu turns to take the golden hammer of the drum beating Weng and goes straight out of the city.


    He drove his horse forward. When he was less than three feet away from Zhang Fei, he said coldly, "black faced thief, you dare to come to death alone. What about red faced thief? Let him die with you. "


    Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, one with dark complexion and the other with jujube complexion, form a sharp contrast.


    There were black faced thieves and red faced thieves at each mouth. Zhang Fei was angry on the spot when he heard Huang Hu''s words. Zhang''s eight snake spears pointed at Huang Hu and roared: "yellow mouth, children, die."


    "Kill


    Zhang Fei roared and roared. Zhang BA''s snake spear was like a black whirlwind.


    A snake spear, like streamer lightning, is extremely swift.


    Huang Hu is not anxious to swing the golden hammer of drum beating Weng and roars: "Zhang Fei, what''s the point of carving insects?" The golden hammer swept an arc in the air and hit Zhang BA''s snake spear with a whistling sound.


    "Dang!"


    The gold and iron exchanged blows, and Zhang BA''s snake spear was knocked open.


    Zhang Fei held Zhang BA''s spear in his hand, but it trembled. He looks surprised, did not expect that the other side is young, strength is so strong. Zhang Fei is already a powerful general. After a contest just now, he found that his opponent''s strength was even better than him. It''s incredible.


    Huang Hu was not affected at all, and the fight rose. He roared: "black faced thief, look at your surprised expression. Didn''t the red faced thief tell you that he was chased and beaten by me? The red faced thieves are not enemies, let alone you? "


    "I''ll smash the golden hammer of the drummer!"


    Huang Hu grinned, and the golden hammer of the drum beating man in his right hand swung up and fell down.


    Great skill without work, heavy as a thousand!


    A hammer bombardment, no longer need any skills, just rely on the power of gold hammer, is enough to break any skills.


    Huang Hu''s moves, one move in one style, are no longer limited to skills. They have already turned decadence into magic. They are simple and direct, but they are full of lethality.


    This kind of attack, makes Zhang Fei also quite headache.


    Seeing that the golden hammer of drum beating Weng came, he clenched his steel teeth, clenched the snake spear with both hands, and carried it directly. This blow exhausted Zhang Fei''s strength.


    Zhang Fei does not believe that the power of Huang Hu is invincible.


    "Boom!"


    The violent impact, burst out.


    "Block it. If I don''t believe it, you can still hold me down."


    Zhang BA''s snake spear supported the falling golden hammer of drum beating Weng and went up little by little. Zhang Fei''s face was red and his ears were red. With a loud roar, he pushed hard. The strength of Zhang BA''s snake spear burst out and pushed out the drum beating Weng''s golden hammer.


    Huang Hu grinned and roared, "where can you stop it? Come again!"


    Just as Zhang BA''s snake spear had just pushed out the golden hammer, Huang Hu''s left hand''s golden hammer had hit Zhang BA''s snake spear like a meteor.


    Without any precaution or preparation, the golden hammer fell on Zhang BA''s snake spear!


    Zhang Fei''s strength has just been used up, but the old strength has just disappeared. Before he has time to gather new strength, when he was hit, his arms were bent and his mouth cracked.


    "Poof!"


    Zhang Fei''s blood gushed out and was directly hit hard.


    "Die


    When Huang Hu got the advantage, he took advantage of the victory to pursue him. The golden hammer of the drum beating Weng in his hand became violent, just like the wind and rain.


    Zhang Fei endured the pain of his hands and the trauma of his internal organs. He caught his horse''s belly with his legs. Zhang Fei''s snake spear came out and touched the golden hammer.Rao is so, Zhang Fei was shocked, and a mouthful of old blood gushed out, dyed his chest red.


    However, with the help of this anti earthquake force, Zhang Fei drove his horse back.


    "Withdraw!"


    There is only such an idea in Zhang Fei''s mind.


    After the end of the last battle, he also saw Guan Yu''s embarrassment. At that time, he saw Guan Yu''s embarrassment. Zhang Fei didn''t think so. He felt that Guan Yu had been defeated by a yellow mouthed child, which he didn''t understand.


    Now after he and Huang Hu fight, he knows the terror of the other side''s power.


    In fact, Huang Hu''s strength is only slightly better than Zhang Fei''s, but the weapons of the two sides are different, and their strength is also different. The golden hammer of the drum beating Weng in Huang Hu''s hand is too terrifying, and the bombardment power is very overbearing.


    Zhang Fei had a snake spear in his hand. He felt powerless and could not compete with his opponent.


    "Da! Dada


    The war horse shakes off its hooves and wants to get rid of the chasing yellow tiger.


    On the tower, Liu Xiu had already taken a big yellow bow, wrist bow and arrow, sharp arrow aimed at wuzhui horse under Zhang Fei''s crotch. Seeing Zhang Fei running, Liu Xiu loosened the bow string.


    "Hum!"


    The bowstring vibrates and the arrow breaks through the air.


    "Whew!"


    The sharp arrow, with a powerful force, turns into a streamer in the air. In the blink of an eye, the bow and arrow hit the rear buttock of Wu Zhui ma.


    The sharp stabbing pain irritated Wu zhuima.


    "Xiyuyu!"


    Wu Zhui horse made a crazy roar and kept shaking his body.


    Zhang Fei''s legs clamped the horse''s belly. When he looked back, he found that Wu Zhui''s horse had been badly damaged. He scolded Liu Xiu for being mean and even shot a cold arrow. However, this bow and arrow is a special iron arrow. The arrow is sharp and has super penetrating ability. It has penetrated into the body of wuzhuima.


    "Xiyuyu!"


    After running for a while, Wu Zhui horse could no longer bear the pain from his rear buttocks and fell to the ground.


    "Hong


    There was a loud noise and the horse fell to the ground.


    Zhang Fei also immediately fell to the ground, his internal organs were injured. This fall to the ground, is to fall seven meat and eight vegetable, the whole body incomparable ache.


    "You are defeated!"


    Huang Hu rushes up, and the drum beating Weng''s hammer aims at Zhang Fei, grinning.


    Zhang Fei was captured alive in this battle and made great achievements.


    Zhang Fei staggers to his feet. His eyes are calm and he looks at Huang Hu. He looks unconvinced. He says in a loud voice, "the reason why I was captured by you alive is because Liu Xiu sent a cold arrow. Otherwise, how can you capture me alive?"


    When he said these words, Zhang Fei had been paying attention to Huang Hu''s movements. Seeing that Huang Hu was absent-minded for a moment, he reached out with both hands, grabbed Huang Hu''s golden hammer and roared: "boy, come down!"


    With the power of rapid pulling, Huang Hu failed to sit on the horse and fell down on his side.


    A careless, yellow tiger fell to the ground.


    Zhang Fei loosened his hands and clasped the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm. Huang Hu was lying on the ground. It was inconvenient to swing the golden hammer again. He opened his hand and made a fist.


    "Bang!"


    Fist intersection, Huang Hu blocked Zhang Fei''s attack.


    A kite turned over, he quickly avoided Zhang Fei, stood up, roared and rushed to Zhang Fei. He swung his strong arm, with a look of rage on his face, and roared: "Zhang Fei, you despicable little man, you are looking for death."


    The fist hit directly on Zhang Fei''s arm.


    A punch down, hit Zhang Fei arm pain, even a trace of strength can not lift up.


    Zhang Fei fought back with his fists, but he was seriously injured. After only three or two moves, he was overturned on the ground by the yellow tiger, and then a burst of old fists went down. Zhang Fei was beaten so black and blue that he didn''t even have the strength to resist.


    After Huang Hu vented his anger, Zhang Fei only had the voice of humming. Looking at Huang Hu, there was a strong sense of anger and fear in his eyes.


    This kid is so cruel.


    Huang Hu snorted, then lowered his head and dragged Zhang Fei''s collar to the city.

 Chapter 310

    The gate closed with a creak, and Zhang Fei was captured by Huang Husheng.


    On the city tower, Zhang Fei was lying on the ground, his whole body was quite uncomfortable. After being beaten by Huang Hu for a while, his injury was even more serious. He was black and blue, and he couldn''t even distinguish his previous appearance.


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Fei lying on the ground and said with a smile, "Third Master Zhang, we meet again. The first time we met, you and I met in the county government of Xinye county. At that time, you had a big fight with me in order to seize wenpin''s war horse. This time, I didn''t expect that I had become a prisoner. I''m really a white cloud dog. Life is changeable. "


    Zhang Fei was captured alive, but he was very tough. Bearing the pain of his body, he said in a loud voice: "Liu Xiu, if you didn''t secretly shoot a secret arrow, you want to capture me alive, dream about it. You mean person, you mean and shameless


    Liu xiudao: "am I mean? If you can be captured alive, be mean. However, you Zhang Fei is not very aboveboard. If you take a fancy to other people''s war horses and don''t say a word, you will take them for yourself. It''s also despicable. "


    "I was drunk," he said


    Liu Xiu said: "drunk, is not what you do; drunk, can you cover it up? Besides, you three brothers have similar conduct. Look at Liu Bei, who quietly incited the rebellion of Nanjun and Wuling prefects, and encouraged Liu Qi to revolt. Don''t you think Liu Bei is mean? Why should I be aboveboard when dealing with despicable people? To be able to capture you alive is the best. Next, I''ll see what Liu Bei will do. "


    Zhang Fei snorted and said, "if you want to kill or cut, it''s up to you."


    Liu Xiu raised an arc and said, "kill you? Why kill you. You said I would take your life and let Liu Xiu hand over the command of the army. What do you think Liu Bei would do? This is war! If you fail, you have to bear the consequences. "


    "Come on, tie up Zhang Fei."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and gave an order directly.


    Then Liu Xiu called for a soldier to go to Liu Bei''s barracks ten miles away with Zhang Fei''s Zhang Ba snake spear, and let Liu Bei come outside the city.


    ¡­¡­


    Liu Bei''s barracks are in big accounts.


    When Liu Bei got the news that Zhang Fei was leaving the camp with Zhang BA''s snake spear, Liu Bei was very angry.


    Guan Yu advised: "elder brother, the third younger brother''s martial arts is extraordinary. I expect that even if he can''t do any harm to Liu Xiu, he can protect himself. So, big brother doesn''t have to worry about the safety of his third brother. Don''t you believe in his martial arts? "


    Liu Bei nodded, although worried, but recognized Guan Yu''s statement.


    Among the three brothers, Zhang Fei is the best.


    Zhang Fei, if not low, won''t be defeated, at least he can protect himself.


    Liu Bei and Guan Yu are together, discussing the recent situation. During this period, the army stationed in Xiangyang City. Although Xiangyang City was trapped, Liu Xiu''s city had enough food and was not affected at all. On the contrary, Liu Bei''s food is constantly consumed. Fortunately, with the support of Jiangdong, we didn''t worry about the grain problem.


    Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "brother, up to now, there is no news of victory from Jiangdong. Today''s situation is rather difficult. Our army in Nanlu county can not occupy the city. As long as it approaches Yicheng County, wenpin will send troops to attack. So that now we seem to be nailed here. We can''t move forward or retreat. "


    Liu Bei had a worried look in his eyes and said: "although there is no news, on the other hand, it is also good news. After all, no bad news came back. At least, Jiangdong has a chance to win. "


    Guan Yu nodded and agreed.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier quickly ran in and reported: "my Lord, there is a soldier in Jingzhou asking for help. He came carrying the Zhang Ba snake spear of the three generals. "


    Brush!


    Liu Bei''s face suddenly changed.


    "Bring people in!"


    Liu Bei''s big sleeve flicks and takes a look at Guan Yu. Two people look at each other, are worried.


    What happened?


    Because of Zhang Fei''s martial arts, he should be able to escape.


    Shortly after, a soldier came in carrying a snake spear. With a bang, he threw Zhang BA''s snake spear on the ground, raised his head, and said in a loud voice, "Liu Bei, the Lord has said that you should lead the army to Xiangyang City immediately. Otherwise, I will kill Zhang Fei. "


    Boom!


    In Liu Bei''s mind, it exploded.


    The whole person, like a lost soul.


    Guan Yu''s eyes are also very flustered, suddenly, Guan Yu looked at the soldiers, his eyes were awe inspiring, cold way: "you dare to come to the barracks to die, this will kill you first, revenge for the third brother."


    But the soldier was neither humble nor overbearing. He didn''t show any fear. He countered: "my Lord said that if you kill me, Zhang Fei will probably break an arm or a leg. You can do it yourself. I''m not afraid to kill if I want to. Anyway, one life is worth Zhang Fei''s arm


    Guan Yu is more angry, but his eyes are quite helpless.The soldier added, "if there is nothing else, I''ll go first. Goodbye."


    Liu Bei and Guan Yu did not stop, at this time, the two brothers are confused. Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have been friends for more than 20 years since the yellow scarf rebellion.


    Although they are not brothers, they are more close than brothers.


    When Zhang Fei is arrested, Liu Bei and Guan Yu can imagine their worries.


    Guan Yu asked: "brother, what should we do now? The third younger brother was caught, which is really bad. Even, we will be extremely passive. "


    Liu Bei adjusted his mood and tried to calm himself down. However, there was a confusion in my mind, and I couldn''t think of a solution at all. All I had to do was to say, "second brother, according to Liu Xiu''s words, I''ll call the army to Xiangyang City to see what Liu Xiu said. Then, think about the solution. "


    "Yes, Xiangyang City first."


    Guan Yu''s eyes also showed a look of hope, and he quickly spoke.


    The two mobilized troops to Xiangyang City.


    The army was arrayed outside the city. Liu Bei, wearing armor and a sword hanging from his waist, straddled on his horse and rode forward. Then he looked up at the upper floor of the city and said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, release my third brother immediately. Otherwise, I will make you regret it. "


    Standing on the tower, Liu Xiu heard Liu Bei''s words and said in a loud voice, "Liu Bei, who has the initiative? Now, don''t you understand? "


    In a word, Liu Bei sobered up.


    Liu Bei took a deep breath and said, "let''s talk about it. How can we let the third brother go?"


    Zhang Fei was tied with his hands and couldn''t move. He stood close to the women''s wall, looking at Liu Bei outside the tower, and said in a loud voice: "brother, don''t worry about me, attack the city, take Xiangyang City and avenge me."


    Roaring words, Liu Xiu mouth is full of smile.


    I''m afraid it''s a bit late for Zhang Fei to say that now. Liu Bei has no choice now. Liu Bei as Zhang Fei''s elder brother, Zhang Fei was arrested, Liu Bei can not sit by and do nothing. If Liu Bei ignores Zhang Fei''s life, what does Guan Yu think? What do the soldiers think?


    Liu Bei said: "third brother, don''t worry, big brother will save you."


    "Leave me alone, leave me alone," Zhang said


    Liu Bei shakes his head directly. He can''t ignore Zhang Fei. This is his brother.


    Liu Xiu ordered the soldiers to cover Zhang Fei''s mouth and said in a loud voice, "Liu Bei, if you want to release Zhang Fei, the conditions are very simple. You order all the soldiers under your command to lay down their weapons, and then squat on the ground, waiting for the soldiers of your own officer to collect their weapons. As long as you give up the command of the army, I will release Zhang Fei. "


    In a word, Zhang Fei''s face changed greatly.


    He looked at Liu Xiu with murderous eyes. He wanted to kill Liu Xiu. This damned Liu Xiu, the condition is so vicious, he is not human.


    When Liu Bei heard Liu Xiu''s condition, his expression became serious.


    Liu Xiu''s conditions are too harsh!


    There are still more than 10000 soldiers outside the city. Once Liu Bei gives them up, Liu Bei becomes a bare commander. When the time comes, Liu Xiu will arrest their three brothers. That''s easy.


    Liu Bei can''t agree to such a condition.


    At this moment, the anger in Liu Bei''s heart was beyond expression.


    A similar scene happened again.


    At the beginning, because of food, he abandoned Zhao Yun and chose food and truce. This time, he was once again pushed to the corner by Liu Xiu. He had to choose between Zhang Fei and his more than 10000 soldiers.


    Such a choice is too cruel.


    Damn it!


    Liu Bei clenched his fist, and his eyes looked angry.


    Guan Yu stood aside and said in a low voice: "brother, if you don''t hand over military power, Liu Xiu doesn''t dare to kill his third brother. Now try to delay as much as possible, instead of irritating Liu Xiu, delay first, so as to avoid Liu Xiu jumping over the wall in a hurry. "


    When Liu Bei heard the speech, he felt comfortable.


    This is the proposal put forward by Guan Yu, at least it will not be severely criticized by Guan Yu.

 Chapter 311

    Liu Bei took a deep breath and said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, if I order the soldiers to lay down their weapons and hand over military power. It means that you can control the army and then send troops to capture us. Well, I can''t believe you when you are such a heartless person. "


    "You release people first, release my third brother, I promise to withdraw immediately, and no longer surround Xiangyang."


    "At the same time, I will withdraw the soldiers from Zhonglu county and stop attacking Jingzhou."


    There was a trace of hope in Liu Bei''s eyes, and he said in a loud voice: "Liu Xiu, as long as you agree, I will no longer attack Jingzhou. I am willing to listen to your arrangement."


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu refused to say, "since you are willing to listen to my officer''s arrangement, I now order you to let the soldiers under your command lay down their weapons and squat on the ground."


    Tough words made Liu Bei extremely embarrassed.


    Zhang Fei opened his mouth, but his hands were tied and his mouth was blocked, so he couldn''t open his mouth at all.


    At this time, Liu Bei was suffering.


    "Second brother, Liu Xiugen didn''t agree. The only way to save the third brother is to give up the army. "


    Liu Bei''s eyes were full of tangles. These ten thousand soldiers are the hard work of his command. If more than ten thousand soldiers are lost, he will lose a lot. In the future, Liu Bei''s plan to attack Jingzhou again is definitely impossible. Even after giving up the army, his soldiers will bear grudges, which will lead to the disorder of morale.


    What to do?


    Liu Bei''s eyes were full of anxiety.


    Liu Bei missed Zhuge Liang very much. If only Zhuge Liang were by his side.


    Unfortunately, this is impossible.


    After listening to Liu Bei''s words, Guan Yu was silent.


    As a person who has come all the way with Liu Bei, he understands Liu Bei''s hardships in recent years and how much effort Liu Bei has put into his current foundation. Now to let Liu Bei hand over the control of more than 10000 soldiers is tantamount to putting a knife in Liu Bei''s heart.


    Liu Xiu was not in a hurry. He said again, "Liu Bei, have you considered it clearly? If you don''t hand over the command of the army, I will kill Zhang Fei. Your brother''s life is now in your hands. "


    The threatening words made Liu Bei suffer.


    Liu Bei took a deep breath. He clenched his fist and loosened it. Immediately clenched a fist again, loosen again. At last, Liu Bei gritted his teeth, looked up at Liu Xiu and said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, I''m willing to give up the army."


    When the soldiers in the army heard this, they were in an uproar.


    The hearts of countless soldiers were cold, because Liu Bei chose to give them up.


    Guan Yu sighed, but he was relieved.


    After decades of friendship and kinship among the three brothers, Guan Yu did not want to see Zhang Fei killed.


    Liu Xiu began to laugh, with a strong smile on his face. As long as Liu Bei gives up the army, he can easily solve Liu Bei''s threat, and then try his best to deal with Sun Quan''s army in the south.


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Fei and said, "Zhang Fei, do you see it? Liu Bei really thinks highly of you. For you, Liu Bei gave up more than 10000 soldiers. He is really a good elder brother


    Zhang Fei''s eyes. It''s getting wet.


    Bean big crystal tears, silent from the corner of the eye fell down.


    Zhang Fei is rash and impulsive, but not stupid.


    Following Liu Bei for several decades, he also worked in the army and knew the significance of the army to Liu Bei.


    Liu Bei has been struggling for most of his life, and now he is nearly half a hundred years old. Now, with Zhuge Liang''s plan, he has the present foundation. It''s not easy to have more than 10000 soldiers. Now, because of him alone, so many soldiers have been lost.


    We can imagine how painful Liu Bei will be.


    It''s all his fault.


    Zhang Fei is really grateful for having such a big brother. He took a deep look at Liu Bei, with infinite nostalgia in his eyes.


    Once upon a time, the three brothers met in Zhuo County, and they became friends at first sight.


    In the past, the three brothers swept the battlefield and made great achievements. Because of the corruption of the imperial court, Liu Bei couldn''t extend his ambition, and his ambition didn''t pay off, so he could only be unknown.


    In the past, the three brothers fought against Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu together, which was famous all over the world.


    In the past, the three brothers lived under Gongsun Zan and were aggrieved.


    In the past, the three brothers were in trouble in Xuzhou and separated from each other. They thought that they would never see each other again. They did not expect that they were still alive and joined in Runan County. Then they entered Xinye to fight against the Cao bandits.


    ¡­¡­


    Every scene echoed in Zhang Fei''s mind.


    The scenes moved Zhang Fei.


    Liu Xiu sighed when he saw Zhang Fei crying. It has to be said that Liu Bei is quite powerful in drawing people''s hearts together. Looking at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, we can see Liu Bei''s means.


    Zhang Fei turned his head to look at Liu Xiu, and his mouth whined, indicating that he wanted to speak.


    Liu Xiu waved, and the soldier took out the paper ball that had blocked Zhang Fei''s mouth.


    Zhang Fei said: "Liu Xiu, you are so cruel!"Liu Xiu did not have the slightest burden, and said slowly: "Zhang Fei, it''s not my ruthlessness, it''s the battle field. It''s a matter of life and death. I have to. Just as Liu Bei had dealt with me, wasn''t he cruel enough? But Liu Bei didn''t succeed, otherwise I would have died in Liu Bei''s hands. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. "


    Zhang Fei snorted and turned to look out of the city.


    At this time, Liu Xiu had ordered the soldiers to open the city gate, and then the soldiers in the city had begun to prepare to go out of the city, and were about to collect weapons outside the city.


    Zhang Fei''s eyes showed a firm look. His body came close to the women''s wall, squatted slightly, and then roared: "brother, revenge! Avenge me


    All of a sudden, Zhang Fei jumped.


    Although Zhang Fei was seriously injured by Huang Hu, and even his internal organs were affected, he held back his strength and made a sudden effort. His burly body jumped out of the city wall.


    Huang Hu''s eyes are quick and his hands are quick. He grabs it out, but he catches it empty.


    Zhang Fei''s body fell straight down.


    "Revenge


    Zhang Fei''s voice is constantly echoing in the air.


    "Boom!"


    With a loud noise, Zhang Fei''s burly body fell to the ground. At the root of the city wall, near the moat, Zhang Fei fell to the ground and hit his head on the ground.


    A pool of blood came out of Zhang Fei''s head.


    At the moment of landing, Zhang Fei lost his breath, leaving only his eyes wide open and unwilling to die.


    Liu Xiu discovered this scene and ordered the soldiers who were about to leave the city to stop, then pull up the suspension bridge and close the city gate.


    Zhang Fei''s death is a huge blow to Liu Bei.


    Even, Liu Bei will certainly be desperate to attack the city. At this time, it is not cost-effective to confront the crazy Liu Bei head-on and only increase their own losses.


    So Liu Xiu closed the gate directly.


    Liu Bei saw Zhang Fei''s body fall with his own eyes, and then heard Zhang Fei''s words of revenge, his mind was blank.


    Dead!


    Zhang Fei is dead!


    His brother, who had been with him for decades, died like this.


    Liu Bei roared, "third brother!"


    In the eye socket, the tear unceasingly is beating turns. Liu Bei held back his tears. He looked at Liu Xiu on the upper floor of the city. His face was full of ferocity, and his eyes were even more angry.


    Liu Xiu took Zhao Yun!


    Now, he killed Zhang Fei.


    Guan Yu''s expression is also a bit numb, he is addicted to alcohol for Zhang Fei, for Zhang Fei reckless impulse, the heart is to have opinions. Now I saw my brother die in front of my eyes, and I was shocked not to let Liu Bei take the initiative to die.


    "Revenge..."


    The words of Zhang Fei before his death reverberate in his mind.


    Guan Yu clenched his fist and roared, "take my knife!"


    Zhou Cang immediately put on the green dragon Yanyue sword. Guan Yu grasped the green dragon Yanyue sword in his hand. The blade pointed to the city floor and said in a loud voice: "brother, the third brother can''t die in vain. If he doesn''t kill Liu Xiu, he will never stop."


    Liu Bei pulled out the double sword on his waist. He wiped away the tears in his eyes. The sword pointed to the upper floor of the city and roared, "Liu Xiu, if you don''t kill you, Liu Bei will swear not to be a human being."


    "Kill! Kill


    Liu Bei roared and gave the order to attack the city.


    After the soldiers outside the city heard the order, they quickly launched an attack.


    Originally, Liu Bei''s soldiers were ready to lay down their weapons and surrender. But now watching Zhang Fei fall from the city floor, he was shocked. A breath of grief filled the hearts of the soldiers in the army. A solemn and stirring atmosphere, spread rapidly.


    The general is not afraid of death! Of course they can.


    Mourning soldiers, Liu Bei soldiers at the moment, is such an army.


    "Kill, avenge the three generals."


    "Three generals jumped out of a building to commit suicide, just to keep us from being controlled by Liu Xiu


    "Take revenge for the third general, go


    One by one, the soldiers roared and rushed forward quickly. At this moment, all the soldiers under Liu Bei''s command have been given up. This mourning soldier with a will to die rushed forward bravely and approached the castle.


    Liu Xiu''s face was calm, without the slightest panic, and gave orders to guard the city. Zhang Fei''s death is something Liu Xiu did not expect, but even so, Liu Xiu is not afraid of Liu Bei.


    Zhang Fei is dead!


    Liu Bei can no longer be coerced, but on the other hand, Liu Bei''s side is short of a peerless general. This is a great blow to Liu Bei.

 Chapter 312

    "Kill, kill Liu Xiu, reward ten thousand gold."


    "If Liu Xiu is captured alive, he will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and promoted to three levels."


    Liu Bei roared. At this moment, he only wanted to kill Liu Xiu and avenge Zhang Fei. He rushed forward with a double sword, and the scene of Zhang Fei jumping down the tower came to his mind.


    The soldiers under his command rushed forward bravely and fearlessly.


    More than 10000 elite soldiers were killed.


    All the siege equipment gathered outside Xiangyang City and quickly attacked the city. At this time, under the protection of the soldiers under his command, Liu Bei approached the downstairs of the city and brought back Zhang Fei''s body.


    Guan Yu followed closely, also followed back, standing next to Zhang Fei''s body in silence.


    The morale of siege is high.


    However, the morale of the city guards is also high.


    Zhang Fei, a famous man, was forced to jump on the tower to save Liu Bei. Such a thing is also a great inspiration to the garrison generals and soldiers.


    Stop Liu Bei''s soldiers!


    Kill Liu Bei''s soldiers!


    This is the only idea in the heart of the soldiers guarding the city.


    Huang Hu, holding the golden hammer of drum beating Weng, ran back and forth on the top of the city like a demon. His golden hammer was extremely fierce, constantly killing the enemy soldiers who boarded the city.


    Beating drum Weng gold hammer swung down, yellow tiger roared: "kill, kill for me."


    Huang Hu''s bravery greatly inspired the city guards.


    At the other end, shamoko is charging with the flower of Tribulus terrestris. The barbarians under his command are brave and good at fighting. They are not afraid of death. They are very fierce. The barbarians are very flexible. They fight each other. Although they don''t cooperate with each other, they just cut corners. As long as an enemy soldier comes up, they directly smash down.


    At the head of Xiangyang City, waves of Liu Bei''s soldiers were beaten down.


    Half an hour later, on the top of the city, under the city tower and in the moat, there were bodies everywhere and a river of blood.


    Both sides in the battle are full of fighting spirit.


    After an hour, Liu Bei''s soldiers were unable to attack for a long time, and they were still unable to climb Xiangyang City.


    At this time, the fierce and fearless spirit in the hearts of the mourners gradually dissipated, replaced by decadence and fatigue, because no matter how to attack Xiangyang City, they can never win.


    Can''t take Xiangyang City!


    Such a situation is even despairing.


    This city is as solid as gold. No matter how hard it is attacked, it will not help.


    In the hearts of countless soldiers, such an idea came into being.


    Outside the city, Liu Bei saw that the soldiers under his command could not be conquered. He clenched his fist and wanted to rush up to kill Liu Xiu.


    Guan Yu stood aside. He looked sad, but he was still calm. He said in a loud voice, "brother, we can''t conquer Xiangyang City for the time being. Let''s withdraw."


    "No, not for the time being."


    In Liu Bei''s eyes, there is still a stubborn look.


    In his heart, he still wanted to wait.


    Guan Yu grabbed Liu Bei''s hand and roared: "brother, do you want the third brother to die? The third younger brother is dead. He doesn''t want you to compensate all your soldiers. "


    Liu Bei clenched his fist, and his eyes were full of anger.


    All this is caused by Liu Xiu.


    On the tower, Liu Xiu looked at Liu Bei''s position in the Chinese army. Immediately, he glanced at the situation at the head of the city. From the beginning, Liu Bei''s soldiers were fearless of death and rushed to the head of the city like crazy. Up to now, the number of soldiers under Liu Bei rushing to the city building has begun to decrease significantly.


    Obviously, the morale of Liu Bei''s soldiers began to weaken greatly.


    Here''s the chance!


    Liu Xiu looked excited in his eyes. Since Liu Bei took the initiative to send him to the door, this time, he will completely hit Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei no longer has combat effectiveness in a short period of time.


    "Yellow tiger, listen to the order!"


    Liu Xiu ordered.


    Huang Hu quickly came to Liu Xiu''s side and saluted.


    Liu Xiu said, "you lead a thousand Flying Tiger battalions, open the gate and take Liu Bei''s central army."


    "Yes


    Huang Hu was ordered to turn around and go down to the tower.


    Liu Xiu also ordered: "shamoko, listen to the order!"


    "Yes


    Shamoke came to Liu Xiu''s side, carrying the bloody bone of Tribulus terrestris, with murderous eyes.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "mobilize 1000 barbarians to attack Liu Bei''s central army."


    "Yes


    After getting the order, shamoko no longer took part in the fighting on the top of the city and went down to the castle.


    After the attack of Liu Bei''s soldiers was weakened, the pressure on the city tower was much weaker. Under the orderly resistance of the soldiers guarding the city, Liu Xiu was not worried about the situation upstairs.


    He stood on the tower, quietly watching the whole situation.


    "Creak!"The gate opens and the suspension bridge is lowered.


    Liu Bei''s soldiers were very happy to see the gate open. After a long siege, they failed to conquer the city. Now the gate is open and the opportunity is here. They rushed to the city gate, but as soon as they got on the suspension bridge, Huang Hu rushed out with the soldiers of the flying tiger camp.


    "Those who stand in my way, die!"


    The yellow tiger spurred his horse, and each side had a golden hammer to sweep.


    Only the sound of Bo Bo came out, and the heads were directly broken. The bloody body fell to the ground and was pushed directly down the moat and washed away by the river.


    "Flying Tiger camp, kill!"


    Yellow tiger sprint, quickly killed out.


    "Flying Tiger camp, kill!"


    "Flying Tiger camp, kill!"


    The soldiers of the flying tiger camp are brave and valiant, especially under the leadership of such a peerless general as Huang Hu.


    Perhaps now every soldier in the flying tiger camp can not be called a real elite, can not be compared with every soldier in Cao Cao''s hubaoqi, and even can not be compared with the white soldiers under Liu Bei. However, the spirit of the flying tiger camp is unparalleled. Huang Hu, the leader of the flying tiger camp, has given the fighting spirit and spirit of the flying tiger camp.


    Huang Hu is invincible on the battlefield, and no one can defeat him. The more the soldiers of the flying tiger camp under his command fight with the yellow tiger, the more they can feel this spirit and gradually develop their invincible fighting spirit.


    With a sprint, the flying tiger camp scattered Liu Bei''s army at the gate of the city.


    Shamoko led a thousand barbarians, who were among the elite.


    One by one, especially after seeing the achievements of the flying tiger camp, they even aroused the fighting spirit in their bones, thinking that they could not lose to the flying tiger camp. Shamoko took the lead, caught up with Liu Bei''s soldiers and killed them madly.


    For a moment, the battlefield was full of ups and downs.


    The two Jingzhou armies, like two sharp swords, rushed to Liu Bei''s central army.


    These two armies are fighting against each other, constantly fighting, and fighting is even more ferocious.


    Poor Liu Bei''s soldiers. They are hard to resist.


    Guan Yu stood beside Liu Bei. He saw the sudden change of the situation, especially that Liu Xiu had changed his defense to attack. Knowing that the time was extremely urgent, he said directly: "order, withdraw!"


    If Liu Bei doesn''t give the order, Guan Yu can only give it on his behalf.


    "Dang! Dang! Dang


    The sound of gold and iron fighting, constantly resounding in the battlefield.


    After hearing the sound of the Gong, Liu Bei''s soldiers began to withdraw from the battlefield. Guan Yu ordered the soldiers to surround Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and then quickly retreat, not to give shamoko and Huang Hu the chance to cover up.


    Liu Xiu was standing on the tower. He saw Liu Bei''s soldiers retreat and did not stop the pursuit.


    In this war, we must cover up.


    Seeing waves of Liu Bei''s soldiers retreating, they are constantly being covered up and killed. Liu Xiu knows that in this battle, Liu Bei''s soldiers have completely lost their combat effectiveness.


    Next, Liu Bei may withdraw to Zhonglu County, or take back nearly 10000 soldiers in Zhonglu County, in order to enhance combat effectiveness. Otherwise, it will be difficult to carry on just relying on the strength of Liu Bei.


    Liu Xiu from the beginning of the defense, to the present attack, has been the master of the initiative.


    The battlefield is like this!


    A small detail is one move, one step difference, lose everything.


    Zhang Fei''s capture is a breakthrough.


    However, Liu Xiu is still waiting for Pang Tong''s news.


    Liu Xiu has never been afraid of Liu Bei. Even when Liu Bei and Sun Quan joined hands, Liu Xiu did not worry. After a short period of adjustment, he had the power to fight against Sun Quan and Liu Bei.


    What Liu Xiu considered was Cao Cao in the north.


    Cao Cao is the ultimate enemy.


    Half an hour later, Huang Hu and shamoko led their troops back to Xiangyang City.


    They led the soldiers to Liu Bei''s barracks. Because Liu Bei had withdrawn into the barracks, they had countless equipment to defend. They were difficult to attack, so they withdrew.

 Chapter 313

    Prefecture, in the hall.


    Liu Xiu and his military officers and generals gathered together.


    After the war, the crisis of Xiangyang City has come to an end. In a short time, Liu Bei could not lead his troops to attack the city, so Liu Xiu also returned to the prefecture from the city.


    Huang Hu was sitting in danger with a touch of sadness in his eyes. He reported: "Lord, since the beginning of the war, we have killed 1500 soldiers, and most of them have been injured. However, the remaining soldiers in the army can fight again. "


    Shamoko continued: "the 5000 barbarians under his humble command have killed more than 800 people. The rest of the soldiers were also injured. However, the remaining 4000 barbarians can still fight again. "


    Listening to Huang Hu and shamoke''s report, Liu Xiu''s eyes were also very dignified.


    More than 2000 elite casualties are a considerable loss.


    Liu Xiu looked at Yi Ji and said, "Mr. Ji Bo, whether he is a Han soldier or a barbarian soldier, he will register them one by one and then give them a pension. The soldiers fought bravely, and their contributions should not be forgotten. At the same time, the soldiers who have made great achievements in this war should also be rewarded one by one. "


    Yi Ji arched his hand and said, "don''t worry, my Lord. I will arrange my humble position."


    Liu Xiu waved his big hand and said: "in addition to the daily defense on the city floor, we can relax for a while. These two days, we should take good care of our spirit and prepare for the subsequent war. "


    "Yes


    Everyone was relieved when they got the order.


    Liu Xiu added: "the soldiers lost by the flying tiger camp and the barbarians should be re selected and replenished. These two armies are elite troops stationed in Xiangyang. They can''t be disabled. "


    "No!"


    Huang Hu and shamoko nodded and wrote down the words.


    ¡­¡­


    Ten miles outside the city, Liu Bei''s barracks.


    When the soldiers in the army withdrew, the result of the battle was presented. Guan Yu first got the news, after reading the inventory, his face was very dignified. In today''s war alone, as many as 3000 soldiers have been lost. In addition to previous losses, the number of soldiers under Liu Bei''s command is no more than 10000, and the fighting capacity has been sharply reduced.


    In Guan Yu''s opinion, Liu Xiu''s moves are like killing people with blunt knives, cutting off Liu Bei''s power bit by bit. Especially now he killed Zhang Fei and stabbed Liu Bei.


    Such a situation raised a little worry for Guan Yu.


    Guan Yu came to Liu Bei. He looked at the food on Liu Bei''s desk and said in a deep voice, "brother, you don''t eat or drink. Are you going to die with your third brother?"


    Liu Bei''s face is dignified and looks like a failure.


    Suddenly, Liu Bei asked, "second brother, is elder brother really useless?"


    On hearing this, Guan Yu knew that Zhang Fei''s death had a great impact on Liu Bei. But it has come to this point, Guan Yu is also very helpless, because he is also sad. Guan Yu sat down and comforted: "brother, the third brother is dead, but it''s not your fault."


    Liu Bei shook his head and choked: "those who came out with us, Yuan Shao died, but at least he was brilliant; Gongsun Zan died, and he was brilliant; Lv Bu died, and he was brilliant. When Sun Jian and sun CE died, they were brilliant. Now Cao Cao and Sun Quan have their own foundations, let alone their own. "


    "The people who follow Cao Cao have made great progress."


    "People who follow the sun family are now dominating in Jiangdong."


    "Only the second and third brothers follow me. They have been living a hard life. I''ve always thought that when Jingzhou is conquered, or if they dominate, they can make the second and third younger brothers live a good life and enjoy happiness. "


    "Now, the third brother died in front of me first."


    "My third brother asked me to take revenge before he died, but I didn''t have the ability to take revenge for him."


    "I hate it. I hate my own incompetence."


    Liu Bei''s eyes, there is a strong sense of helplessness and despair, he really feel useless. Why is Liu Bei so embarrassed when he works hard.


    God is not fair!


    Heaven is not equal!


    In Liu Bei''s heart, there is a strong resentment.


    Guan Yu sighed and said: "brother, if you want to revive the Han Dynasty, it is a difficult and dangerous road. Can it be useful for you to continue to grieve and blame yourself? It''s impossible for the third brother to survive. On the contrary, Liu Xiu knows that he will laugh at the elder brother and be complacent. "


    "Big brother, we are not as good as Liu Xiu now, but we don''t have no chance."


    "If big brother gives up, can he still have a chance?"


    "Brother, you often say that no matter what you do, you can wait for the chance of success. Now the third younger brother is dead. Although he can''t beat Liu Xiu for the time being, as long as he works hard, he will have a chance. "


    "I believe that the spirit of the third brother is in heaven, and I will be glad to see elder brother cheer up."


    Guan Yu seized Liu Bei''s hand and solemnly said, "brother, the third brother is not here. But elder brother, you still have me. I will help elder brother and avenge my third brother. "


    Liu Bei heard the speech and nodded heavily.He took a deep breath and said, "second brother, thank you very much."


    Seeing that Liu Bei''s state of mind gradually improved, Guan Yu also laughed and said happily, "elder brother, I''ll let people heat up the meal. You eat first. When you''re full, we''ll talk about the next war."


    Liu Bei was relieved. He lifted the bowl and shook his head. "No, it''s good to eat like this." After Liu Bei adjusted his state, he ate quickly.


    After eating, I listened to Guan Yu''s report on the war.


    Guan Yu first said it again, and then analyzed it: "the current situation is that our troops are insufficient. If we are stationed outside Xiangyang City, we may be defeated at any time. I suggest that brother withdraw to Zhonglu county first. Zhonglu county is an hour''s journey from Xiangyang City, and it''s convenient for us to get to and fro, but when we get to Zhonglu County, we have more room to turn around. "


    Liu Bei nodded and said, "this is a good choice. After all, Zhonglu county is under our control."


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, the voice of the soldiers sounded outside the camp.


    "Come in!"


    Liu Bei gave a command, the tent curtain rolled up, and the soldiers quickly came in.


    After the soldier entered, he knelt down on one knee and said, "my Lord, I just received the news from Jiangdong. At present, Zhou Yu has led his army to attack Changsha County, and has defeated Ancheng county and Chaling County, approaching the camp of you County under Liu Xiu. "


    "Good!"


    Finally, there is a smile in Liu Bei''s eyes.


    Finally, a breakthrough has been made in Jiangdong. Once Zhou Yu conquers the camp of you County, it means that Liu Xiu''s southwest layout will be completely broken.


    Next, it will further affect the situation in Jingzhou.


    With a smile in his eyes, Guan Yu said in a loud voice: "brother, this is an opportunity. Now that Jiangdong has made a breakthrough, we will not retreat to Zhonglu County for the time being. Moreover, we can withdraw the troops from Zhonglu county and gather them all together. Then he publicized the news of Zhou Yu''s attack on Changsha County and affected the situation of Xiangyang and even Nanjun county. "


    Liu Bei nodded again and again and said, "the second brother has a point. That''s it."


    Immediately, Liu Bei gave the order and began to spread the news.


    For a time, the news of the destruction of Changsha County was spread in the army. After the soldiers heard the news, their morale began to turn around and go up.


    For a time, the military camp changed its decline, and the soldiers were full of expectation with high morale.


    This news, also quickly spread into the city, in Xiangyang City and even in all parts of Nanjun.


    After Liu Xiu got the news, he had no response.


    However, it was just the destruction of Ancheng county and Chaling County, but Liu Bei made it seem that the whole Jingzhou was going to fall. He obviously exaggerated the facts, and Liu Xiu could afford the loss.


    Yi Ji, Kuai Liang and government officials did not respond to the news.


    In the study, Liu Xiu is checking the information from the royal guards.


    Among them, some grain merchants raised grain prices and made a lot of money during the war. At the same time, some officials took the opportunity to make money.


    All the information was collected by the royal guards.


    After Liu Xiu annotated them one by one, he immediately arranged for Deng Zhan to ask the royal guards to carry out the order. If they should be punished, they should be killed. If they want to make a fortune in the war, they should be ready to be killed.


    "Dong! Dong


    There was a knock on the door, outside the room.


    Deng Zhan''s voice came: "Lord, there is a military emergency."


    "Come in!"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes showed a look of expectation.


    "He took out the letter and sent it to the library of Jinling county. It is estimated that the military division has now entered Nanyang County. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and opened the envelope.


    After watching, Liu Xiu''s face showed excited expression, suddenly burst into laughter and said in a loud voice: "the plan has been successful. Now, Zhang Ren has led the army into Nanyang County. Liu Xiu''s home is about to be broken. "


    Deng Zhan arched his hand and said, "Congratulations, Lord!"


    Liu xiudao: "Liu Bei thought that something had happened in Changsha County, so we had a headache. But we didn''t know that his own rear area was almost finished. Now, let''s wait a little longer. Once the news of Nanyang County''s victory is sent back, the war can begin to end. "

 Chapter 314

    Chaling County, county seat.


    After you county was in a hurry to conquer Chaling County, Zhou Yu''s army did not attack for the time being. The army was readjusted in Chaling County, and then Zhou Yu was also collecting information from all aspects, and his colleagues moved forward step by step according to his plan.


    Inside the city, barracks.


    Zhou Yu sat at the top of the big account of the Chinese army, and at the bottom of it sat the generals of Ling Tong, Zhu ran, Xu Sheng, pan Zhang and Huang Gai, all gathered together.


    Ling Tong''s face was full of fighting spirit and said: "governor of Dadu, in this battle, we have conquered Chaling County, and we are in you county. But now, Liu Xiu just sent Huang Zhong''s soldiers to resist, and the other troops were not mobilized at all.


    Even when Zhao Yun''s words came out, Zhou Yu''s generals were full of fighting spirit.


    Finally, the plan begins!


    Zhou Yu cheered: "the plan has been launched. Now, in order to cover the actions of other troops, we will march into you County tomorrow morning to attack Huang Zhong. As long as Huang Zhong has no time to separate himself, Huang Zu will be defeated in this battle. "


    "Yes


    All the people are in high spirits.


    ¡­¡­


    Xinye, Zhuge Liang''s residence.


    When Zhuge Liang stayed in Xinye, on the one hand, he had to prepare food for Liu Bei; on the other hand, he had to sit in the rear to avoid turmoil in Xinye counties. Zhuge Liang is responsible for the government affairs of Xinye. He is dedicated to everything.


    Every day, Zhuge Liang is very busy.


    However, things are not piling up at the moment. He handles everything flawlessly and everything is very good. Rao is so, Zhuge Liang is still worried about Liu Bei''s situation in Xiangyang.


    After all, Liu Xiu is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He is quite cunning.


    On this day, Zhuge Liang was dealing with government affairs in his study.


    "Sergeant, I''m Chen Dao!"


    Suddenly, outside the study, Chen Dao''s urgent voice rang out.


    As soon as Zhuge Liang heard Chen Dao''s voice, he felt a thump in his heart. He had been in peace all the time before. Chen Dao suddenly came. Is there something big happening?


    Zhuge Liang quickly got up, opened the door, invited Chen Dao to his room, sat down and asked, "Uncle Zhi, what happened?"


    Chen Dao looked worried and said: "just got the news from Xiangyang, general Zhang died in battle. The soldiers under the Lord''s command lost more than 6000 people. "


    "Ah


    Zhuge Liang''s face showed an incredible look.


    This news, is simply too surprised.


    It''s too hard to accept.


    Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and asked, "what''s the matter? How could this happen?" The importance of Zhang Fei is self-evident. Now that Zhang Fei died, the news is too shocking.


    Chen to sighed, a brief account of Zhang Fei''s death, and Liu Bei''s current situation.


    "Ah, general Zhang is impulsive!"


    After Zhuge Liang heard this, he didn''t expect that Zhang Fei was caught alive and jumped down the castle.


    Zhuge Liang''s heart is also happy, fortunately Zhang Fei jumped, otherwise Liu Bei handed over the command of the army, and Liu Xiu''s war will not have to fight.


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, the voice of the Yamen outside the study rang out again.


    "Come in!"


    There was a touch of worry between Zhuge Liang''s eyebrows. His eyelids kept jumping, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart. After listening to Chen Dao''s talk about Xiangyang, he also noticed that the war situation in Xiangyang was inexplicably strange.


    After the Yamen officer entered, he reported: "military division, the matter is not good. The magistrate of Chaoyang County came to the hall, bathed in blood, to see you."


    "Ah


    Zhuge Liang stood up and went to the hall.


    Chen Dao also got up with dignified expression and quickly went to the hall.


    When he came to the hall, Zhuge Liang''s eyes fell on the magistrate of Chaoyang County. At this time, the magistrate of Chaoyang County was bleeding all over, and even more haggard.


    Seeing Zhuge Liang, the magistrate of Chaoyang County said in a loud voice: "military division, we have been attacked. We have been attacked."


    "What''s the matter, make it clear."


    Zhuge Liang is at a loss and has no idea about the current situation.


    It''s totally baffling!


    Chaoyang County is located in the southwest of Xinye County, only a hundred miles away from Xinye county. Once Chaoyang County falls, the situation in Xinye will be delicate, even very critical.


    Chaoyang County Magistrate said: "it''s Yizhou army. Yizhou army suddenly entered Nanyang County from Fangling county. Now it has conquered Zhuyang County, Mian County and Yin county. Chaoyang County has stuck to it for less than an hour, but it has also fallen. At present, Yizhou army has gone to Xinye county to kill. "


    "Boom!"


    Zhuge Liang''s mind suddenly became blank.


    How is that possible?


    Yizhou has sent troops!


    Yizhou intervened in the war between Jingzhou and Liu Bei!


    The situation in Zhuge Liang''s mind became clear. Liu Xiu didn''t seem to attack Liu Bei. In fact, he had been waiting for news, waiting for Yizhou army to enter Nanyang County. Today, the army of Yizhou has entered Nanyang County, sweeping all counties with unparalleled strength. Such a military front would lead to Liu Bei''s rear fall.If the news reaches the front line, Liu Bei''s forces will not attack.


    Great!


    What a drastic move!


    Zhuge Liang showed a little worry in his heart. He looked at Chen Dao and said, "Uncle Zhi, mobilize the army to defend Xinye. We have to hold on to Shino now. Because it''s impossible for Cao Ren to see Nanyang County fall into the hands of Yizhou. As long as we stick to it and wait until Cao Ren goes south to attack Yizhou army, we can certainly resolve the crisis. "


    Immediately, Zhuge Liang ordered: "in addition, we will arrange soldiers to go to Xiangyang to inform the Lord of the news and ask him to be ready. Avoid military mutiny. "


    "Yes


    Chen Dao nodded and turned to arrange.

 Chapter 315

    Xiangyang, the prefecture of animal husbandry.


    In the backyard, Huang Yueying is making a crossbow.


    Compared with the big yellow crossbow made before, the crossbow made by Huang Yueying now is more compact.


    The rhubarb crossbow needs one person to pull and one person to load. It is a sharp weapon in the battlefield, but it is not easy to move and lacks flexibility. The small crossbow made now can be used by ordinary soldiers in the army, and can be equipped on soldiers in batches.


    Liu Xiu''s plan is to equip the flying tiger camp under Huang Hu first.


    One thousand Flying Tiger Battalion soldiers are equipped with crossbows, which may have an unexpected effect on the battlefield.


    Huang Yueying took the crossbow in her hand and tried it with the target. She shook her head and said, "husband, the accuracy of the crossbow is still a little rough. The shooting power is not enough. I''ll change it."


    Liu xiudao: "Yueying, don''t worry. Take your time." Liu Xiu knew that his words of persuasion must be left ear in and right ear out. Once Huang Yueying indulged in it, he must do it well.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of footwork came from outside the yard.


    Deng AI came in in a hurry and said with a smile, "young master, general Deng asked to see him and said that he had something important to report."


    "I''ll go to the study at once!"


    Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying said and went to the study.


    When the guests and the host were seated, Liu Xiuwang looked forward to Deng Zhan.


    Deng Zhan looked excited and couldn''t wait to say: "young master, the news from Nanyang County is that Zhang Ren''s army has swept all the counties in Nanyang County and is now in Xinye. Zhuge Liang led the resistance, and the situation was in a stalemate. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "well, I''ve come to this step at last."


    Deng Zhan said: "my Lord, if Pang''s plan is successful, there will be no more suspense about this battle. Liu Bei will be defeated in this battle. "


    Liu Xiu stood up and said, "spread the news all over Xiangyang City immediately and let the people know. Before, Liu Bei spread the news of the crisis in Changsha County, which made Xiangyang''s people floating. Although the voices of the people were suppressed by the Shan, some people were still worried. The news of Xinye will be a great blow to Liu Bei and will also boost the morale of the people in Xiangyang. "


    "Lord, in Changsha County, although Ancheng county and Chaling County were lost, General Huang presided over the overall situation and did not lose. The situation still did not deteriorate," Deng said


    Liu xiudao: "well, the situation in Changsha county is OK. Don''t worry. Well, go and get the news out at once. "


    "Yes


    Deng Zhan left the prefecture and sent people to spread the news.


    In the west of the city, in a wine shop.


    A drinker was carrying a drink, and a middle-aged man with a big face was sitting opposite him. The drinker took a sip of the wine and immediately said in a loud voice, "in other words, Liu Bei''s attack on Xiangyang was a complete failure."


    The burly middle-aged man, with a puzzled expression on his face, said: "Liu Bei has surrounded Xiangyang City, and the governor of zhoumu has been sticking to it all the time. He is clearly afraid of Liu Bei. How can he be regarded as a failure?"


    The drinker raised his chin and said, "you don''t know. I tell you, there''s a reason why Liu Jingzhou didn''t fight."


    The conversation between them aroused the curiosity of the people around them.


    "Brother, I don''t know why Liu Jingzhou didn''t fight?"


    Asked a thin, handsome middle-aged man.


    The drinker smiles, and his eyes sweep. People around him also cast their eyes. Obviously, they are very interested in the topic he throws out.


    As soon as the drinker''s big sleeve flicked, he stood up and said in a loud voice: "in this war, the strategy Liu Jingzhou began to adopt is to draw money from the bottom."


    "From the beginning of the war, Liu Jingzhou sent Pang Tong to Yizhou to persuade Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang to send troops."


    "Now, Zhang Ren, a general under Liu Zhang''s command, leads 10000 troops to Nanyang County and takes Zhuyang County, Mian County, Yin county and other places. Now, Zhang Ren has come to Xinye and completely surrounded Xinye county."


    The drinker looked relaxed and said in a loud voice, "Liu Bei''s old nest has fallen down. Do you think Liu Bei is a grasshopper after autumn?"


    This remark caused a lot of noise.


    One by one expression of surprise, a pair of incredible expression.


    Liu Bei''s hometown Nanyang County was captured. It''s really amazing.


    "Go, go, there is a notice at the gate of the city, saying that Nanyang County in the rear of Liu Bei has been broken. Xiangyang is going to win. That''s great news. Let''s go. "


    At the door of the wine shop, a middle-aged man came shouting.


    After hearing this, all the people were overjoyed. If the drinkers were to speak, there was a doubt in their hearts. Now the government issued a notice, which immediately confirmed it.


    One by one, the people threw down wine money and went to the gate.


    In a very short time, the news of the breaking of Nanyang County was spread in Xiangyang City.


    As soon as the news came out, the people were greatly encouraged.


    At the same time, the news quickly spread to Xiangyang City and Liu Bei.Liu beilian was defeated in a series of battles. It was not easy because Zhou Yu conquered Changsha County, and he was able to change his morale. But the news spread all over the army, and all the soldiers were sad and depressed.


    Guan Yu was patrolling in the army and got the news for the first time.


    When he got the news, Guan Yu was shocked.


    Guan Yu hurried back to the big account and found Liu Bei. He told the news from the general camp once again, and then said: "brother, in order to turn the situation around, Liu Xiu has been frantically rumored to disturb the morale of the army. Elder brother, we must immediately thoroughly investigate the news, or even suppress the news, otherwise the morale of the army will be turbulent and even mutiny will occur. "


    Liu Bei''s expression was extremely dignified. He handed a letter to Guan Yu and said, "second brother, this is the message sent by the military division. The news of Nanyang County is true. "


    In Guan Yu''s heart, he suddenly had a bad feeling.


    Is Nanyang County really lost?


    Guan Yu''s hands trembled. He took the letter from Liu Bei and opened it. The handwriting on the letter is indeed Zhuge Liang''s, and the content written on it is also the news that the Yizhou army has surrounded Xinye county.


    All of a sudden, Guan Yu was stunned.


    It''s really occupied!


    Nanyang County is really occupied.


    Guan Yu''s heart was cold. He looked at Liu Bei and said in a deep voice: "brother, what should we do now? The siege of Xinye means that it is impossible to deliver food from Xinye. Although there are still more than a month''s grain in the army, the news of Xinye has spread all over the world. I''m afraid the soldiers can''t hold on at all. "


    Liu Bei''s face is crying. The situation is too bad now.


    Originally, the news of Changsha County saved the morale, but now the news spread by Liu Xiu has destroyed the confidence of the soldiers.


    Xinye is surrounded. What can we do to resist it?


    Liu Bei''s eyes became more dignified than ever before, and he said in a deep voice: "second brother, we must deal with it immediately. Otherwise, the war will be defeated. Once the soldiers in the barracks mutiny, the situation is out of control. "


    Guan Yu said: "for a while, I can''t think of a solution."


    With a flash in his eyes, Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said, "since there is no other way, we can only take the strategy of cutting off our strength by taking the initiative."


    Liu Bei is worthy of being Liu Bei and a veteran in the army. He thought of a solution.


    Guan Yu asked: "how does big brother plan to break his wrist?"


    Liu Bei replied, "time is pressing. I won''t go into details with you. Now, more than ten thousand of your generals are assembled, and I want to speak to all the soldiers. "


    "Yes


    Guan Yu did not ask, turned down to execute the order.


    "Dong! Dong


    After the war drums were beating and the three drums were connected, all the more than 10000 soldiers in the army gathered in the barracks. But the soldiers in the army were worried and panicked.


    They followed Liu Bei, but now Liu Bei lost even Xinye. This situation makes it difficult for the soldiers in the army to continue to follow Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei shows signs of decadence.


    There was an uproar.


    Countless soldiers whispered and talked.


    Guan Yu was standing in front of the army. He listened to the constant buzzing behind him, and was annoyed. Although Liu Bei''s three brothers have not made a great progress for decades, they have not fallen into such a predicament.


    Is Liu Xiu really the enemy of their three brothers?


    In Guan Yu''s heart, there is a sense of loss.


    All of a sudden, Guan Yu''s eyes fell on Liu Bei. He saw Liu Bei, wearing armor and an iron helmet, striding forward. As soon as Liu Bei appeared, there was a lot of discussion, and it quieted down. Everyone''s eyes fall on Liu Bei. What do you expect Liu Bei to do?

 Chapter 316

    Liu Bei stood in front of the army. He looked at the soldiers in the army, and his heart was full of ups and downs.


    This battle, he lost!


    However, he is not willing to give up even if there is a glimmer of hope.


    Therefore, Liu Bei adopted the strategy of breaking a strong man''s wrist.


    Liu Bei suddenly folded his hands and bowed his head 90 degrees to salute all the soldiers. At that time, Guan Yu''s face turned red immediately.


    Liu Bei was not only the emperor''s uncle in the Han Dynasty, but also his elder brother.


    Seeing his elder brother behave like this, Guan Yu''s heart is very painful.


    The soldiers in the army, who were talking about it, had been quiet. But when they saw the scene, they made a lot of noise.


    Once again, the voices of discussion are ringing out.


    One by one, Liu Bei''s eyes were puzzled.


    Why did Liu Bei do this?


    Everyone is puzzled.


    After Liu Bei stood up, he stood up straight and said in a loud voice, "soldiers, Nanyang County is in trouble and Xinye county is surrounded. It''s Liu Bei who is incompetent. You are suffering with me."


    "Liu Xiu is extremely cunning. He took Nanyang County directly with a drastic plan. Next, Liu Xiu''s goal must be his official, and he will attack him wantonly. So next, there will be a big war, even more tragic. "


    "It''s Liu Bei who has dragged us down."


    Liu Bei''s eyes were sincere and even more guilty. He said in a loud voice: "Liu Bei was designed by Liu Xiu. Although he was defeated in this battle, Liu Bei can''t admit defeat. Once Liu Bei admits defeat, there will be no hope of reviving the Han Dynasty. Therefore, as long as Liu Bei is still breathing, he will fight on. "


    "But Liu Bei doesn''t want everyone to suffer with him any more."


    "So I decided that if I wanted to leave the barracks, I would give out rations and let it go without any hindrance. I welcome those who are willing to stay with Liu Bei to resist Liu Xiu. "


    Liu Bei said in a loud voice: "Liu Bei vowed with his reputation that everyone would leave. I will never stop him. Now I''ll give you a quarter of an hour to think about it. After a quarter of an hour, those who want to leave will go to the left. Then, I will distribute the rations one by one. "


    The soldiers in the army were even more surprised and talked about this.


    After listening to Liu Bei''s words, Guan Yu sighs that this is the best way to deal with it.


    If a strong man breaks his wrist, he will make sure that the next one who follows Liu Bei is the elite. He is really willing to follow Liu Bei. He does not want to kill Liu Bei when he is in trouble. Otherwise, in case of difficulties, I am afraid the army will mutiny.


    At that time, it will be Liu Bei who will be most affected.


    Instead of that, it''s better to choose now.


    The soldiers in the army discussed and began to consider whether they would leave.


    A quarter of an hour later, Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "those who want to leave now, please go to the left. Please don''t have any scruples, because you are responsible for yourself, your own family and your own official. Because in the next war, it must be very hard. "


    "Uncle Liu, I have a 60 year old mother in my family and a crying child in my family. Besides, I''m the only son in my family, so I can''t fight with uncle Liu any more. Please forgive me. "


    "Uncle Liu, my wife and children are waiting for me to go home. I can''t accompany you any more."


    "Uncle Liu is incomparable in benevolence and righteousness. I should have fought with him to death, but I hurt my legs and feet in the previous battle. Now my legs and feet are inconvenient. In order to avoid dragging uncle Liu down, I no longer need to follow him."


    ¡­¡­


    When the first soldier came forward, there was a series of reactions immediately.


    One by one, the soldiers came forward one after another.


    Every soldier had his own reason, as if he had to quit, and he had to. The number of soldiers who came out quickly accounted for half of the total.


    This scene made Guan Yu extremely angry.


    This group of soldiers, even so ungrateful, it is hateful.


    Liu Bei looked at the soldiers who came out one by one. There was a trace of ferocity and pain in his eyes, but his face was still smiling like a spring breeze, and he was not affected at all.


    As time goes by, the number of soldiers who left already exceeds the number left behind.


    This situation has led to the departure of soldiers.


    Half an hour later, the formation of the barracks did not change. About 60% of the soldiers left, and only about 40% of the soldiers left.


    After Liu Bei divided his troops, there were more than 15000 soldiers under his command. After the loss, there were only more than 8000 left. Among the 10000 soldiers who went to Yicheng County, after continuous fighting, there were only more than 6000 left.


    The total strength is about 15000. Only 40% of Liu Bei''s troops remained, which means that Liu Bei lost nearly 9000 troops, leaving only 6000 soldiers.


    Such a loss is not great.Liu Bei took a deep breath. He looked at the soldiers standing under him and asked again, "is there anyone else who wants to change his mind?"


    In the barracks, the army has never changed.


    Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and said, "Guan Yu, listen to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Dressed in armor, Guan Yu stepped forward and saluted.


    Liu Bei said, "you should prepare food immediately and prepare three days'' rations for every soldier who is about to leave. Then, get them out of the barracks. "


    "Yes


    The soldiers must be led to the granary.


    Looking at the more than 6000 soldiers left behind, Liu Bei bowed his hands again and said in a loud voice, "thank you, brothers, for your trust. Liu Bei is here to thank you. "


    Liu Bei was relieved to have six thousand soldiers.


    At least, there is such an elite.


    In Liu Bei''s barracks, a group of soldiers left. The news was quickly detected by the guards, and then spread to Deng Zhan''s desk. Deng Zhan read the news and went directly to Wangzhou animal husbandry.


    Study!


    Deng zhanchen reported: "Lord, when Liu Bei learned the news of the fall of Nanyang County, he let the soldiers in the army leave. According to speculation, more than half of the soldiers under Liu Bei''s command left behind thousands of soldiers. "


    Liu Xiu picked his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Liu Bei is so bold that he broke his wrist."


    Deng Zhan said: "Lord, although Liu Bei''s strong man broke his wrist, he ensured that all his soldiers were loyal to him and the combat effectiveness of this army. However, the number is only a few thousand. Now, once general wenpin is ordered to go north, Liu Bei will surely be defeated. "


    Liu Xiu''s eyes also showed a look of praise.


    Deng Zhan''s proposal is his next plan.


    After greatly weakening Liu Bei''s strength, Liu Bei''s forces in Xinye were trapped, and now his forces in Xiangyang were weakened. It can be said that both sides are in trouble.


    It''s the best chance to attack Liu Bei now.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "Deng Zhan, send an order to Jiangling County immediately, let wenpin mobilize the army and go north to attack Liu Bei. At the same time, Huang Hu and shamoko are invited. "


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan was ordered to turn down to convey the order.


    Soon, Huang Hu and shamoko came to the study.


    Huang Hu and shamoko knew that the war was coming, and both of them were full of smiles.


    Liu Xiu looked at the four and said, "in view of the current situation, Liu Bei is likely to withdraw to Xinye and join Zhuge Liang. At the same time, Zhuge Liang couldn''t keep Xinye, so he would go south to Xiangyang, intending to join Liu Bei. Now, each of you leads 3000 soldiers to the border of Xiangyang and Nanyang County


    "Among them, Huang Hu was stationed on the front line of Wanshan to stop Zhuge Liang''s troops going south."


    "Shamoko led his troops to liuziguan to prevent Liu Bei from fleeing north."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were sharp, and said: "whether Liu Bei can be completely annihilated in this battle depends on whether he can be encircled and intercepted in Xiangyang. So, your defense is very important


    Huang Hu hugged his fist and said, "don''t worry, my Lord. I will not let Zhuge Liang go down south."


    Shamoko also said: "Lord, if Liu Bei arrives at Liuzi pass, he will surely catch the thief alive and hand Liu Bei over to the Lord


    Liu Xiu nodded and asked them to go down.

 Chapter 317

    Liu Xiu ordered Huang Hu and Sha Mo Ke to retreat to Wanshan and Liu Zi Guan stationed, and then mobilized five thousand soldiers, personally commanding the army, and blocked the passage from Xiangyang to Liu Zi Guan.


    Liu Bei led the army to attack. Under the command of Liu Xiu, Liu Bei failed to break through the encirclement and was still blocked in Xiangyang.


    One day later, wenpin''s army arrived in Xiangyang and attacked Liu Bei.


    At the same time, Xinye sent back the latest news, Cao Ren led the army to Xinye, intending to attack Yizhou army. However, a barbarian army came out of the air and directly took Cao Ren''s back road. Then he and the Yizhou army attacked Cao Ren, and Cao Ren was killed. Cao Ren led 5000 soldiers to fight, but only a few hundred people fled back, with heavy casualties.


    After the war, Zhuge Liang abandoned Xinye and led an army with Chen to escort Liu Qi and Liu Bei''s family to Xiangyang.


    After hearing the news in Xiangyang, Liu Bei was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.


    Xinye lost!


    His foundation is really lost.


    In the barracks, Liu Bei woke up with a haggard face and bloodshot eyes. His whole body up and down, unexpectedly is a burst of ache, feel incomparably tired.


    Guan Yu said with concern: "brother, you finally wake up. You scared me to death."


    Liu Bei gave a bitter smile and said, "second brother, thank you very much."


    Guan Yu said: "brother, I think we should adjust our plan now. Yesterday, he stormed Liu Xiu, resulting in the loss of hundreds of his soldiers. However, it had little effect and failed to make a breakthrough. "


    "From Xiangyang to Xinye, you have to pass liuziguan and Wanshan."


    "With Liu Xiu''s personality, he will surely set up elite guards. Even if we break through the siege of Liu Xiu now, we will face more battles in the future. So, I think it''s not appropriate to go to Nanyang County when Xinye is lost. I think it''s time to change the strategy. "


    Liu Bei looked serious and said, "if you do this, don''t you want to be separated from the military division?"


    Guan Yu said: "the military strategists are very resourceful. They will certainly see the situation in Xiangyang. Maybe they will not really go south to Xiangyang. They will take other roads. So, big brother now has to think about where to go next. "


    "Where are you going?"


    Liu Bei is in a state of confusion and has lost his cool.


    Guan Yu said: "I think we should go east to Jiangxia county. Wenpin has come from Jiangling County. He has entered Xiangyang. Once surrounded, it will be more difficult for us to get out of the siege. "


    "But we can go to the south of Nanyang County and enter Jiangxia County, which is Huang Zu''s territory. Huang Zu is headstrong and has average ability. After entering, we can enter Jiangdong through Jiangxia. If you can take advantage of the situation in Jiangxia, maybe it can also be used as a meeting gift to enter Jiangdong. Now, we have to go to Jiangdong. "


    After listening, Liu Bei carefully analyzed Guan Yu''s suggestions.


    A moment later, Liu Bei had already made a decision, nodded his head and said: "the second brother''s proposal is good advice. We should adjust our plan and go to Jiangxia for the next step."


    Guan Yu said with a smile: "big brother is wise!"


    Liu Bei took Guan Yu by the hand and said, "it should be elder brother. Thank you very much, Yunchang. Thank you very much."


    Guan Yu shook his head and said, "brother, have a good rest. I''ll go to see the soldiers in the army." He got up and left the camp, comforted the soldiers, and arranged the next plan.


    The next day, Liu Xiu began to take the initiative to attack, and wenpin quickly led his troops to attack Liu Bei.


    When the army was at war, Liu Bei broke through all the way to the north, still in a posture of going to Xinye. The two sides started fighting near Xiangyang City. At the end of the day, Liu Bei''s soldiers lost nearly a thousand people. The troops under his command are rapidly consumed.


    On the morning of the third day, Liu Xiu and Wen pin led the army to attack again.


    In less than a quarter of an hour, the camp was broken down. However, when you enter the camp, you can find no sign of Liu Bei and Guan Yu.


    Golden cicada out of shell!


    Liu Bei ran away!


    Liu Xiu looks gloomy, and his eyes are full of thinking.


    Wen pin stood aside and said, "Lord, will Liu Bei escape to Xinye last night?"


    Liu Xiu said: "if Liu Bei really wants to break through in the direction of Xinye in one night, he will definitely pass liuziguan. However, shamoko was stationed in liuziguan and Huanghu was stationed in Wanshan. Neither of them came to spread the news, which proves that Liu Bei can''t go north to break through. He must have gone to another place to break through. "


    Wenpin said, "where will Liu Bei go?"


    Liu Xiu continued: "it''s impossible to go north. After all, there are many hurdles. To the west, it''s Yizhou. Now that Yizhou has broken Nanyang County, it''s impossible for Liu Bei to go west to Yizhou. To the south, there are many important towns with more intensive forces, and there''s Jiangling County you run. Therefore, it is impossible for Liu Bei to go south. The only possibility is that Liu Bei has gone to Jiangxia county. "


    Wenpin said in a deep voice, "if you want to go to Jiangxia, you have to go south to Yicheng County, or you have to go to the state of Chu to enter Jiangxia county. Lord, it''s not easy to go to Jiangxia county. "Liu Xiu said with a smile: "seed industry, if Liu Bei does not go to Yicheng County, nor to Xinye, but to the east of Xiangyang, to the southeast of Nanyang County, and then to Jiangxia county? At present, Nanyang County is captured by Zhang Ren in the West and south, Cao Jun in the north, and Liu Bei in the southeast. He can walk to the east of Xiangyang and enter Nanyang County. Then, enter Jiangxia. "


    Wenpin asked: "Lord, why didn''t Liu Bei stay in the southeast of Nanyang County?"


    Liu Xiu chuckled and said, "Liu Bei and I have torn our skin. Zhang Ren is even more covetous in Nanyang County. Do you think Liu Bei can stay in Nanyang County? Since he can''t sit still, he can only go to Jiangdong. "


    Wenpin said: "the end will understand, the end will immediately lead the army to pursue."


    Liu xiulue thought about it and said directly: "it is very important to kill Liu Bei in this war. I''ll go with you myself. " For this fight with Liu Bei, Liu Xiu made up his mind to go all out. He even wanted to keep Liu Bei in Jingzhou to avoid another disaster.


    "Yes


    Wen pin nodded and immediately mobilized the army.

 Chapter 318

    Liu Xiu withdrew all his troops to Xiangyang to avoid problems. Then, together with Wen pin, he led Wen pin''s 10000 elite to pursue Liu Bei.


    Liu Bei''s escape route this time is to Li Qiu. As long as you arrive at Lichu and move eastward, you can enter Zhangling County, Nanyang County. In fact, it''s only half a day''s journey.


    However, for Liu Bei, this journey is extremely painful.


    For no other reason, after Liu Bei arrived in Liqiu, he was blocked by the garrison of Liqiu. It took him half a day to break through the encirclement and move on. But at this time, Liu Xiu and wenpin led the army to catch up, making Liu Bei extremely difficult. 1


    if he continues to run forward, he is bound to be overtaken by Liu Xiu. Once he is entangled by Liu Xiu and the speed slows down, his retirement will be enough to mobilize the soldiers stationed at the border of Xiangyang County and Zhangling county to stop Liu Bei.


    As long as it is blocked, Liu Bei will surely lose.


    "We must get rid of Liu Xiu, so that Liu Xiu can''t follow."


    After Liu Bei made a decision in his heart, he discussed with Guan Yu. After the two men got together, the army suddenly changed direction and went directly south to Yicheng County.


    This move made Liu Xiu confused, but he still caught up.


    On the way, the army stopped for a rest.


    Wenpin sat next to Liu Xiu and said, "my Lord, the situation is a little strange. Liu Bei clearly knows that there is a Ma family in Yicheng County. It is very difficult for him to go south to Yicheng County. Even from the south of Yicheng County, there is a large army of Jiangling County. Under such circumstances, if you want to escape successfully, you can''t escape. But it''s strange that Liu Bei went south. "


    Liu xiuxiao asked: "what does Zhongye see in the future?"


    Wenpin took a deep breath and said: "the only possibility is that Liu Bei deliberately led us to the south. Then he turned back to Lichu and entered Nanyang County again. "


    Liu xiudao: "yes, that''s Liu Bei''s plan. In fact, it''s very simple to analyze where Liu Bei is going so that he can survive and judge Liu Bei''s real trend, and leave the rest alone. Liu Bei wants to go south to Jiangling County. That''s OK. It''s just going south. In a word, if we hold Li Qiu, we will be able to win the war. "


    Wenpin said: "in that case, we will withdraw and return to Lichu."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "no, I''ll do it."


    As soon as wenpin''s eyes turned, he immediately understood Liu Xiu''s plan, and then quickly finalized it with Liu Xiu. After half an hour''s rest, wenpin led the army to cover up.


    When the team arrived at Mabei mountain, its speed slowed down.


    Mabei mountain, located between Xiangyang and Yicheng County, is similar to Mabei in shape, so it gets its name, but the terrain is not high. On the way to Yicheng, we have to cross Mabei mountain.


    When Wen pin led his troops up the mountain, big rocks suddenly fell down the hillside.


    "Boom!"


    The mountains and rocks rolled down, and in a fierce manner, they approached the Jingzhou army who was climbing the mountain.


    "Dodge, dodge."


    Wenpin gave a loud order. He looked up at the falling stones on the mountain, instructed his soldiers to escape, and then slowly went up the mountain.


    About half a quarter of an hour later, the stones rolled down and stopped. Liu Bei''s soldiers on the mountain had already run fast.


    Wenpin led the army to mount Mabei, and he has lost sight of the other side.


    "I can''t let Liu Bei escape."


    Wenpin led the army and continued to pursue. The soldiers who fled in front always kept a certain distance from wenpin.


    Shortly after wenpin left, Liu Bei and his soldiers appeared in Mabei mountain again.


    In fact, Liu Bei used a move to attack the West.


    After his army arrived at Mabei mountain first, the main force hid in Mabei mountain. Then, a group of soldiers led by the young general attacked wenpin with Dashi on the mountain. Wenpin, who was attacked, was furious and wanted to kill Liu Bei. Seeing that the soldiers on the mountain had already run far away, they did not investigate at all and led the army to pursue them directly.


    In this way, the main force under Liu Bei was able to avoid the sight of wenpin.


    At this time, Liu Bei and Guan Yu have a bright smile on their faces. Through a stratagem, they finally get rid of wenpin. It''s much easier to enter Nanyang County first.


    Liu Bei took a deep breath and said, "second brother, time is pressing. Let''s go now."


    Guan Yu couldn''t wait to say: "wenpin has been chasing us. Once we get to Yicheng County and find that we are not there, we will definitely guess our intention. Brother, hurry up. "


    With concerted efforts, the two brothers quickly turned their direction and went to Lichu again.


    The army arrived in Lichu. This time, it encountered the Garrison who set up the checkpoint.


    The garrison soldiers were all shot round by round with bows and arrows. The dense bows and arrows, like rain of arrows, blocked the way of Liu Bei''s soldiers.


    "Whew! Whew! Whew


    Arrows like rain, reaping the lives of soldiers.


    Liu Bei ordered a strong attack, and thousands of soldiers under his command kept rushing forward against the rain of arrows.It took half an hour for Liu Bei''s soldiers to break through the formation of Jingzhou archers. However, in this battle, Liu Bei''s soldiers lost hundreds of people.


    Up to now, Liu Bei''s troops are less than 5000.


    Heavy losses!


    It can be said that this is the current situation of Liu Bei.


    After Liu Bei got out of the siege, he went on, with a smile on his face. As long as you pass Lichu and enter Nanyang County, everything will be fine. But he led the army forward less than five miles, leading to Zhangling County on the official road, there was a team of cavalry.


    The number of cavalry in this group is about 300.


    On the broad official road, the cavalry charged and just arrived, shining with cold light in the sunshine.


    "Kill! Kill Liu Bei. "


    Big roar, one after another.


    The murderous spirit of the three hundred cavalry even frightened Liu Bei.


    "How can it be? How can there be Jingzhou army?


    Liu Bei didn''t have time to think about it. If he retreated, he would be killed. If he retreated, he might even be killed by the garrison of Li Qiu.


    Liu Bei drew out his double sword and ordered to fight.


    Three hundred cavalry fought with Liu Bei''s infantry, and in an instant, the cavalry broke through the infantry line. The three hundred cavalry, like ghosts, kept killing Liu Bei''s soldiers.


    Liu Bei didn''t have the heart to stay. After leading his soldiers through the line of defense composed of cavalry, he and Guan Yu kept running forward. It took half an hour to get rid of the cavalry in the rear. At this time, Liu Bei ordered to stop and rest.


    One by one, the soldiers leaned against the surrounding trees, gasping and looking tired.


    First, they met archers, then cavalry. They rushed all the way. The soldiers under Liu Bei''s command suffered heavy losses and suffered great pressure.


    Guan Yu looked tired. He sat beside Liu Bei and said, "brother, Li Qiu has set many barriers. But now it''s broken. Let''s have a rest. Next time, we''ll be ready to go into Zhangling county with one go. "


    Liu Bei nodded and said, "yes!"


    However, Liu Bei''s face is full of sorrow.


    Guan Yu asked: "brother, what''s the matter?"


    Liu Bei''s eyebrows were full of sorrow and said, "don''t you think it''s strange, second brother? Last time we broke through the line of defense in Lichu, we didn''t encounter such obstacles as archers and cavalry. Now, there are cavalry and archers standing in the way


    Guan Yu said: "brother, maybe Liu Xiu deliberately set a barrier to prevent us from retreating into Li Qiu?"


    Liu Bei said: "if a checkpoint is set up to place soldiers, there should not be only archers and cavalry, but also a normal infantry army."


    Guan Yu''s face changed when he heard the speech.


    Liu Bei''s words awakened Guan Yu, and his heart hung in the air. However, about still holding a trace of luck, said: "brother, I''m afraid it won''t be so."


    "Step on it! Step on it


    Just at this time, in front of the official road, suddenly saw the sound of footsteps.


    A moment later, a large army appeared.


    The leader, riding on a horse, is a man of great prestige. This man is Liu Xiu. Liu Bei saw Liu Xiu''s moment, and his eyes widened, showing an incredible expression.


    How is that possible?


    How did Liu Xiu appear in Li Qiu.

 Chapter 319

    Liu Bei felt a chill in his heart and felt his scalp numb. Liu Bei didn''t feel regret for fighting with Liu Xiu before. If he didn''t attack Liu Xiu, he could only stay in Nanyang County. Once Cao Cao went south, Nanyang County could not resist him. He was a lost dog.


    But now, Liu Bei''s heart, really regret.


    Since the war with Liu Xiu, he repeatedly bumped into Liu Xiu''s hands.


    Even a little bit of fear appeared in Liu Bei''s heart.


    It seems that every time, Liu Xiu can catch him and make him have no way to escape.


    However, Liu Bei took a deep breath and soon adjusted his state. He said in a loud voice: "prepare for war!" With a loud roar, all the soldiers under Liu Bei were on guard, ready to fight with a knife.


    Liu xiuce came at once. There was still about 15 Zhang away from Liu Xiu. The team suddenly stopped.


    Looking at Liu Bei, Liu xiudao said, "Liu Bei, today, you will die here."


    "It''s impossible to die."


    Liu Bei is also riding on the horse, not a step. Although Liu Bei is now extremely down, even like a drowning dog, his fighting spirit is still there.


    Liu Xiu once again said, "Liu Bei, do you regret it now?"


    "No regrets!"


    Liu Bei''s eyes were sharp and didn''t show his mind.


    Even though there was a trace of regret in his heart, he would never admit it.


    Liu Xiu pulled out the Zhenshan sword at his waist, pointed to Liu Bei and said, "Liu Bei, up to now, you are still unrepentant. People like you should be killed. Today, I will kill you. On this day next year, I will come to worship you. "


    "Kill


    Liu Xiu roared. In an instant, his soldiers rushed up directly.


    At this time, Liu Xiu had about 4000 soldiers, but all of them were elite and powerful. One by one, they rushed forward, and in a flash they had already approached Liu Bei.


    "Kill, this is the last group of soldiers to stop. Kill and we can escape. Kill


    Liu Bei raised his double sword and ordered the fight.


    Liu Bei''s soldiers were ordered to meet him with a tired body.


    As soon as the two sides met, Liu Bei''s soldiers were crushed, and the front line of defense was directly broken. One by one, Jingzhou soldiers were approaching Liu Bei with knives.


    At the moment of fighting, Liu Bei''s soldiers had already shown a decadent momentum.


    After withdrawing from Xiangyang, Liu Bei''s soldiers fled all the way and were constantly covered up. Along the way, they never had a good rest, and there was not enough dry food.


    This situation leads to the decline of soldiers'' combat effectiveness in all aspects.


    When Liu Bei saw this scene, he was anxious and rushed up with his double sword. Guan Yu, holding the green dragon Yanyue knife and the red rabbit horse, charges quickly.


    As Liu Bei and Guan Yu joined the battlefield, the morale of Liu Bei''s soldiers was encouraged.


    On the contrary, the situation of fighting is deadlocked.


    Liu Bei knew in his heart that if he dragged on, he would surely die here. He roared: "don''t love war, retreat, retreat quickly." He led the soldiers forward and kept breaking through.


    However, waves of siege by Jingzhou soldiers made it difficult for Liu Bei to break through.


    Guan Yu looked at the scene and said, "brother, I''ll open the way. You follow me and kill me."


    "Kill the green dragon and the moon


    He swung the green dragon Yanyue sword in his hand and crossed an arc in the air.


    "Ho! Ho


    The blade cut the robes of Jingzhou soldiers, blood splashed, screams sounded, Jingzhou soldiers fell to the ground and died.


    Guan Yu galloped forward and roared: "those who block me will die!"


    With a loud roar, Guan Yu''s green dragon Yanyue sword kept chopping and rushing forward.


    Liu Xiu also found the direction of Guan Yu and Liu Bei. His eyes were cold and he said, "take the bow!" He gave an order, and in an instant, a soldier handed over a big yellow bow.


    Liu Xiu took the big yellow bow, bent the bow and took the arrow, aiming at Guan Yu''s direction.


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu drank low, and a bow and arrow came out.


    After a bow and arrow was shot, Liu Xiu immediately took the bow to shoot again.


    "Whew! Whew


    Two bows and arrows, one before the other, rushed to Guan Yu who was fighting.


    Guan Yu is fighting. When he wields his knife, he suddenly feels a palpitation in his heart. He looks up and sweeps, but a bow and arrow comes quickly. Guan Yu''s green dragon Yanyue sword swung its direction in the air and hit the bow and arrow with a bang.


    In an instant, the bow and arrow fell.


    "Whew!"


    Guan Yu took a look at Liu Bei, sighed, and then said in a loud voice: "brother, I''ll hold Liu Xiu, you go first, I''ll come later." After that, Guan Yu stopped his horse, and his soldiers stopped immediately. Liu Bei was anxious, but it was not the time to hesitate. Liu Bei took the soldiers around him and continued to rush forward.In a moment, Liu Bei was approaching.


    Guan Yu clenched the green dragon Yanyue sword in his hand, looked at Liu Xiu, and roared: "Liu Xiu, if you want to pursue big brother, you should step on my body. You can''t go after big brother. "


    Guan Yu looked back at Liu Bei''s direction and then at Liu Xiu. His eyes were firm and he ordered: "kill!"


    With an order, Guan Yu and his soldiers immediately greet Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 320

    "Da! Dada


    Red rabbit horse quickly sprint, Guan Yuren on the horse, with the help of red rabbit horse sprint power, launched an attack.


    Chop!


    Guan Yu roared, and the green dragon Yanyue sword in his hand immediately raised.


    "Hum!"


    Sharp blade, across the air.


    A cool light, but it seems to be the end of the world, split down in an instant.


    "Poof


    The edge of the knife passed through the neck of a Jingzhou soldier. The body of the soldier fell from the shoulder to the abdomen, and the upper body was cut off. The soldier''s body was cut in two and he was killed immediately.


    At the moment, Guan Yu, like a demon God, is boiling with his intention to kill. The soldiers who rush up are killed one after another.


    One man''s power is unmatched.


    Liu Xiu leads the army to kill him. He takes the initiative to meet Guan Yu, and then orders some soldiers to go after Liu Bei.


    If Guan Yu is not solved, it is impossible to pursue and kill Liu Bei.


    Kill Guan Yu first!


    Kill Liu Bei again!


    Liu Xiu shook his hand and stabbed it directly.


    "Whew!"


    The point of the sword broke through the air, just like a brilliant light. In a flash, it had already come to Guan Yu.


    "A small skill of carving insects!"


    The handle of Yanyu''s sword directly bumps into Qingyu''s hand.


    "Ding!"


    With a bang, the blade was knocked away.


    All of a sudden, Guan Yu''s face changed greatly. He roared: "rat, get out of here!"


    However, when Liu Xiu and Guan Yu were fighting, a soldier wiped it, and it turned out to be a knife to the red rabbit horse. If the knife falls on the horse''s back, the horse must be killed. Guan Yu pushes Liu Xiu back with a knife. As soon as the blade turns, he splits on the approaching soldier. When he encounters him, the soldier''s body is directly split in two.


    Guan Yu roared: "Liu Xiu, take your life!"


    The green dragon Yanyue knife dribbles in the air, and the blade is tilted.


    Liu Xiu built an iron bridge and lay flat on the horse''s back. His legs clamped the horse''s belly and he handed out the Zhenshan sword in his hand. A sword, but stab to Guan Yu''s rib. The edge of the sword is ordinary, but it is as fast as lightning.


    Guan Yu turned aside to avoid the blow.


    He sat firmly on the red rabbit horse, the blade turned again, and he had to split at Liu Xiu, but the Jingzhou soldiers around him kept approaching, threatening the lives of Guan Yu and the red rabbit horse.


    Guan Yu had to turn the blade and split the Jingzhou soldiers who stabbed the red rabbit horse.


    "A bunch of despicable people, die."


    Guan Yu is furious, and his strength on the blade is even more powerful.


    Liu Xiu sat on his horse, but he caught the opportunity with a flash of light. With one palm on the horse''s back, he jumped up, and then his legs merged, and he pedaled directly towards the horse.


    "Pa!"


    Kick out your feet and hit Guan Yu''s back.


    "Pa!"


    A dull sound, strong force, burst out in an instant.


    Guan Yu''s body immediately lost its center of gravity and fell to the ground with the red rabbit and horse. Guan Yu''s body fell to the ground. The Jingzhou soldiers around him saw the chance and killed him crazily.


    "Death


    Guan Yu roars. He is still holding the green dragon Yanyue sword in his hand, especially the position where he holds the green dragon Yanyue sword, which is just close to the blade. Struggle will be out, sharp blade directly swept up a group of Jingzhou soldiers.


    Blade across, a group of soldiers in Jingzhou angry scream, all in the end, all the leg was cut by the blade. Guan Yu quickly got away from the horse. He didn''t even have time to help the red rabbit horse up, because the Jingzhou soldiers around rushed up again.


    "Green dragon Yan Yue Dao, chop!"


    Guan Yu roars and cuts his green dragon Yanyue sword in front of him.


    With one knife, he killed several Jingzhou soldiers.


    Liu Xiu has got off his horse. He is more used to fighting on the ground than killing on the horse. With a Zhenshan sword in hand, Liu Xiu strode forward and rushed to Guan Yu. It was already the edge of the sword.


    Poof!


    The front of the sword pierces into Guan Yu''s back. After a sword pierces, the front of the sword lifts up instantly.


    A bloodstain left on Guan Yu''s back.


    Guan Yu snorted. When he turned to wave his sword, Liu Xiu retreated and avoided Guan Yu''s knife.


    "Liu Xiu, if you have the ability, don''t hide."


    Guan Yu roared. He kept killing Jingzhou around him, and so did his soldiers. Guan Yu''s soldiers, led by Zhou Cang, a bodyguard, kept resisting Jingzhou soldiers and preventing them from pursuing Liu Bei.


    On the battlefield, the fighting was fierce and the situation was stalemate.


    Liu Xiu glanced at the battlefield and said: "it seems that Guan Yu has a will to die heart!"


    At this time, since Guan Yu blocked the road, Liu Xiu naturally wanted to eradicate Guan Yu.


    He heard Guan Yu''s words, but he didn''t go out to fight with Guan Yu. Guan Yu, who was furious and even had a will to die heart, went up to fight alone. Only when his head was kicked by a donkey would he go up to fight alone. Under the cover of the soldiers, Liu Xiu is like a ghost, constantly approaching Guan Yu, causing damage to Guan Yu.In a quarter of an hour, Guan Yu had left eight scars.


    Every wound is bleeding, causing damage to Guan Yu.


    "Liu Xiu, you kill my third brother, I want you to die."


    Guan Yu saw Liu Xiu''s retreating direction and killed him in one step.


    "Spring and autumn chop!"


    Guan Yu knew that Liu Xiu was hiding among the soldiers, and the sharp blade split out.


    A knife, as if with the spring and autumn righteousness, the grand emperor with hegemony and sharpness.


    "Pooh! Poof


    One Jingzhou soldier fell under Guan Yu''s knife.


    "Kill


    At the moment when Guan Yu changed his moves, Liu Xiu stabbed him again.


    The front of the sword stabs at the heart of Guan Yu. This sword is fast and has caught Guan Yu''s neutral position.


    Guan Yu grins and does not hide. His green dragon Yanyue knife dribbles around in the air. After the direction changes, his head splits off. He chopped it off and pointed at Liu Xiu''s head.


    If Liu Xiu''s Zhenshan sword hits Guan Yu''s heart, Guan Yu''s green dragon Yanyue sword will hit Liu Xiu''s head.


    Both were killed.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes flashed a trace of surprise and changed his moves.


    "A sword, stars."


    Liu Xiu roared and changed his moves very quickly. In an instant, his Zhenshan sword didn''t hide, and he directly met Guan Yu''s green dragon Yanyue sword.


    "Dang!"


    When swords intersect, a bright spark erupts.


    Liu Xiu took advantage of the situation to unload the power from the blade, and the blade stabbed out again.


    "One sword, matchless!"


    When the sword moves changed again, Liu Xiu would never hide among the soldiers. Instead, he fought with Guan Yu openly. Just now Liu Xiu and Guan Yu had a hard fight. The power of Guan Yu''s green dragon Yanyue sword has been greatly weakened, without the previous power.


    "Chunqiu Dayi!"


    Guan Yu is also low roar, directly against the knife.


    The blade split out, but Liu Xiujian walked briskly and avoided it in an instant. He was already stabbing Guan Yu''s shoulder.


    "Poof!"


    The sharp point of the sword pierced into the bone.


    Guan Yu snorted, even his hand trembled when he held the green dragon Yanyue knife. Especially before Liu Xiu put cold arrow, also caused great damage to his arm, so that he could not gather strength.


    Liu Xiu drew his sword back and said, "one sword, no me."


    Liu Xiu''s sword was so dignified that it seemed to be Wang Shi''s sharp and upright.


    The edge of the sword is close to Guan Yu''s heart.


    "Chunqiu Dayi!"


    Guan Yu roars, his green dragon Yanyue knife is taken back, and then cut horizontally.


    Liu Xiu''s Zhenshan sword struck the green dragon Yanyue sword in an instant and burst out a flash of bright Mars. In a flash, the Zhenshan sword in Liu Xiu''s hand was stabbed out again.


    Guan Yu reacts one by one. In an instant, he raises his hand and waves his knife to block.


    However, his thinking fell, but the power in his hand slowed down. When the blade approached, the Zhenshan sword in Liu Xiu''s hand had penetrated into his heart.


    "Poof


    The sharp point of the sword easily pierces the heart.


    Guan Yu steel teeth clenched, still silent, he grasped the green dragon Yanyue knife, want to force. But the pain in his arm and the twitching heart made it difficult for him to lift his strength. The green dragon Yanyue knife in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.


    "I, I''m not willing!"


    "Liu Xiu, you can''t catch, you can''t catch big brother, you can''t catch..."


    Guan Yu widened his eyes and talked. In a moment, Guan Yu''s body was raised and he fell to the ground. Until his death, he thought of Liu Bei and wanted to protect him.

 Chapter 321

    "Come on, put away Guan Yu''s body."


    Liu xiuphen said, and the soldiers rushed up and collected Guan Yu''s body.


    For Guan Yu, no matter what position he and Guan Yu hold, his loyalty to Liu Bei is unmatched. Just this, let Liu Xiu admire.


    "Two generals!"


    Suddenly, a shrill roar came from Zhou Cang''s mouth.


    Zhou Cang roared, his eyes were wide open, and his face was already murderous. Holding a knife, he rushed to Liu Xiu and roared, "Liu Xiu, dog thief, I''ll kill you."


    When he rushed forward, his back and chest had already shown flaws.


    "Poof


    A blade pierced Zhou Cang''s back directly, penetrated Zhou Cang''s body and pierced his heart.


    "Ho


    Another blade fell from the air and fell on Zhou Cang''s shoulder.


    Two knives, causing fatal damage to Zhou Cang.


    "Liu Xiu, I, Zhou Cang, won''t let you go."


    Zhou Cang roared, still want to step forward, but just took a step, the body is already on the ground. The big eyes, staring at the location of Liu Xiu and Guan Yu, never closed until death.


    Liu Xiu sighed and said, "put away Zhou Cang''s body!"


    Zhou Cang is a yellow scarf thief. But compared with many yellow scarf thieves, Zhou Cang is more meaningful and has solar terms. Unfortunately, with the wrong person.


    Looking at the soldiers under Guan Yu''s command, Liu Xiu roared: "Guan Yu will die, and those who fall will not be killed."


    "Resistance, no mercy."


    Liu Xiu gave the order, but the soldiers Guan Yu brought did not retreat or surrender.


    "Brothers, killing one is enough, killing two is enough. Kill


    "Two generals are not afraid of death. What are we afraid of?"


    "A man is a great man. If he dies, eighteen years later, I will be a great man again."


    Liu Bei''s soldiers roared and fought with Liu Xiu''s soldiers. The fighting between the two sides is totally based on their lives, especially when the other side is determined to die. Facing a group of people who are not afraid of death is the most difficult thing to do.


    It took half an hour for Liu Xiu''s soldiers to kill all the soldiers brought by Guan Yu.


    From beginning to end, no one surrendered.


    Liu Xiu did not stay. He had to arrest Liu Bei and ordered, "chase!"


    The army pursued quickly. As the soldiers approached the border between Lichu and Zhangling, they caught up with Liu Bei''s soldiers. However, after some fighting, Liu Xiu found that this group of soldiers was behind the mat, and Liu Bei had already fled first. Liu Bei was afraid that Liu Xiu would catch up with him, so he left a team of soldiers to entangle him. Unexpectedly, it really played a role.


    After a fight, no one surrendered.


    This time, Liu Xiu directly lost the trace of Liu Bei, and it is very difficult to pursue and kill Liu Bei.


    Liu Xiu was very sorry to lose Liu Bei.


    Unfortunately, Liu Bei escaped.


    But without Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei lost two generals and Nanyang County''s Liu Bei. I''m afraid it will be extremely difficult in the coming days.


    Liu Xiu immediately withdrew and returned to Xiangyang, and wenpin also withdrew.


    At this time, Pang Tong stayed and Huang Hu and Sha Moke came back. For no other reason, Zhuge Liang really went to Zhangling County, Southeast of Nanyang County, but did not enter Xiangyang.


    After Pang Tong went south, he brought them back.


    Prefecture, hall.


    Liu xiuduan sat down in the hall, his eyes swept the people under him, his face serious.


    With a trace of regret in his voice, he said: "through the plan of commander Pang, we have almost wiped out all Liu Bei''s troops in this war. At the same time, Liu Bei also lost Nanyang County as the foundation. Now, Zhang Ren of Yizhou leads his troops to Nanyang County. In this way, we have people to resist Cao Jun again. Unfortunately, this battle only killed Zhang Fei and Guan Yu and let Liu Bei slip away. "


    Pang Tong said with a smile: "Lord, Liu Bei, who has tens of thousands of troops, has been defeated. Now Liu Bei, like a lost dog, is not afraid. In addition, although Liu Bei fled to Zhangling County, Zhang Ren constantly deployed troops, and soon he would be killed. He didn''t stay in Zhangling County for long


    This time, Pang Tong''s confidence rose greatly.


    In particular, Zhuge Liang worked for Liu Bei, and he worked for Liu Xiu. Now Liu Xiu has defeated Liu Bei. To some extent, that is why he has defeated Zhuge Liang.


    Liu xiuhan said, "the military adviser has a point. Liu Bei is not worried about it."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu looked at Yi Ji and said, "Mr. Ji Bo, Guan Yu and his bodyguard Zhou Cang''s body have all converged back. You prepare a fine coffin and bury it. After all, I''m a tiger general. I can''t neglect it. "


    "Yes


    Yi Ji nodded and wrote down the matter.


    Liu Xiu looked at Wen pin and said, "general Zhong ye, the war in Xiangyang is over. Next, the garrison will return to Jiangling County. ""No!"


    Wenpin should fight for success.


    Liu Xiu asked: "Deng Zhan, how about the war in Changsha County?"


    Deng Zhan replied: "it''s still a stalemate in you County for the time being. There is no new exhibition."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "shamoko and Huang Hu listen to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    They both stand up and salute.


    Liu Xiu said, "shamoko leads all the barbarians, and Huang Hu leads a thousand Flying Tiger battalions to rest for one day. Tomorrow morning, follow me to Changsha County


    "No!"


    When they heard of the war, they were excited.


    Liu Xiu then said, "military strategist, you will follow me."


    "No!"


    Pang Tong smiles and goes to Changsha County. Naturally, he wants to go.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes once again fell on Yi Ji and Kuai Liang and said, "Mr. Ji Bo and Mr. Zi Rou, the battle situation in Changsha county is stalemate. I''ll go in person. When I''m no longer in Xiangyang, I still have two people in charge of government affairs. "


    "Yes


    Both of them nodded and answered directly.


    For Liu Xiu personally to Changsha County, two people have no opinion. After all, the situation in Changsha county is tense now. If Zhou Yu really conquers Changsha County, it will have an impact on the hinterland of Jingzhou, which is unbearable.


    After Liu Xiu gave a series of orders, he ordered everyone to step down.


    Back in the backyard, Liu Xiu came to Huang Yueying''s yard.


    At this time, Huang Yueying was reading a book. Of course, the book she read had something to do with the instruments. Seeing Liu Xiu coming, Huang Yueying put down her book and said with a smile, "husband, I''ll make you tea."


    Liu Xiu nodded, and Huang Yueying began to prepare tea sets for Liu Xiu, and then began to cook tea.


    "Gollum! Grunt


    Tea slowly boiling up, a faint fragrance lingering.


    Liu Xiu smelled the fragrance of tea, with a smile on his face, and said: "Yueying, Liu Bei''s rebellion has now been solved. But there was Zhou Yu in Changsha. Tomorrow morning, I will lead the army


    "Well, my husband, you must pay attention to safety."


    Huang Yueying nodded, she is now used to such a day.


    Moreover, Huang Yueying has her own business.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Yueying, from beginning to end, Huang Yueying''s temperament is very calm, is so indifferent. Liu Xiu looked at Huang Yueying who was seriously cooking tea and said, "Yueying, don''t cook tea."


    "Ah


    Huang Yueying smell speech, a face at a loss of expression, do not know what Liu Xiu means.


    Liu Xiu stood up and walked behind Huang Yueying. He reached for Huang Yueying''s waist and whispered in Huang Yueying''s ear, "what''s the meaning of drinking tea? It''s more interesting to eat you. "


    At that time, Huang Yueying''s face turned red with shame.


    The blush spread on the face.


    The ears are pink.


    Huang Yueying said, "husband, it''s still in broad daylight. It''s not good."


    Where can Liu Xiu manage so much? He picked up Huang Yueying and went straight to the room. Huang Yueying screamed with fright, but she had to put her head close to Liu Xiu''s chest like a deer, hiding her shame.


    Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong are also in Xiangyang these days.


    Occasionally, Huang Chengyan and pound will visit, or Huang Yueying will visit them. The most common thing the two old gentlemen said in front of Huang Yueying was to let Huang Yueying get pregnant and have a baby as soon as possible. Now Liu Xiu takes the initiative, and Huang Yueying is a half pusher, so let Liu Xiu do it.

 Chapter 322

    After Liu Bei fled to Zhangling County, there were only a few hundred soldiers left under his command.


    In this battle, he brought more than 20000 troops into Xiangyang, and in the end, there were only so many people left. Looking at the tired soldiers, Liu Bei''s heart was inexplicably heavy. In particular, news came from the rear that Guan Yu and Zhou Cang were killed in the war. All the soldiers were killed in the war, and none of them survived.


    All the news hit Liu Bei hard.


    Liu Bei''s three brothers rose at the end of the Wei Dynasty. Up to now, they finally have one mu of land.


    Now, however, it''s all gone.


    All this was caused by Liu Xiu and destroyed by him.


    He came to Zhangling County outside the tower, people are extremely haggard. As soon as he appeared, a group of people rushed out of the city. The leader is Zhuge Liang.


    Behind Zhuge Liang were Chen Dao and a group of white soldiers.


    Seeing Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei wept with joy. He quickly walked up, a face of deep concern, concern: "Kong Ming, Xinye chaos, no injury."


    Zhuge Liang''s heart was sour when he saw Liu Bei, who was in a mess and haggard.


    However, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang said, "I didn''t expect that this would be the case with my Lord. I had known that. I should have sent soldiers to meet my Lord in Lichu."


    Liu Bei shook his head and sighed, "it''s better for you to stay in Zhangling county. You can keep some of your strength. If you enter Xiangyang and Liu Xiu, you will lose more. Alas... "


    Zhuge Liang looked around and didn''t find Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.


    A heart, suddenly sink down.


    Zhuge Liang didn''t ask questions for the time being. He waved his hand and said, "Lord, the county enters the county and goes to the county government to settle down. Take a bath and have a good meal before you discuss the business. "


    Liu Bei nodded and led the soldiers to Zhuge Liang.


    After entering the city, Liu Bei had a good wash, and then had a meal before meeting in the hall.


    Liu Bei sat directly above, and below, Zhuge Liang, Chen Zhi, Jian Yong, sun Qian, the magistrate of Zhangling county and a group of officials took their seats.


    Zhuge Liang asked, "Lord, what about the second and third generals?"


    "Alas..."


    Liu Bei sighed and looked sad.


    Zhuge Liang''s heart was even worse, and he asked, "what''s the matter?" In Zhuge Liang''s view, if it is separated, it is the best outcome, and it can also converge. If it''s dead, it''s serious. Looking at the current situation, it is clear that he died in the war.


    Liu Bei said: "two younger brothers and three younger brothers died one after another."


    "Ah


    A cry of surprise came from the hall.


    Everyone, it''s a surprise.


    Liu Bei''s expression was even more mournful, and he described in detail the death of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. After that, Liu Bei sighed, "it''s all my fault that this war failed. If it wasn''t for my command failure, it wouldn''t be so. "


    Zhuge Liang shook his head in his heart. This battle is really a coward.


    More than 20000 troops, even Xiangyang City did not board the city, but Liu Xiu was defeated.


    However, this is not the time for accountability.


    Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "my Lord, the second and third generals died in the war. Please have a good day. Now, the Lord must fight. Because the second general and the third general''s enmity needs you to revenge. "


    Liu Bei nodded with a solemn expression.


    Liu Bei asked, "military adviser, what shall we do next?"


    For the next arrangement, Zhuge Liang already had an idea in his heart. He said in a deep voice: "Lord, Yizhou General Zhang Ren has been killed in Nanyang County. Now, Zhang Ren has gone to Zhangling county. Today, the Lord has only a few thousand soldiers. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to fight with Zhang Ren. So we went to Jiangdong immediately. When he got to Jiangdong, the LORD fought back with the help of Sun Quan for a while, and then killed him back to Xiangyang. "


    Liu Bei nodded and sighed: "now, it can only be like this."


    After a pause, Liu Bei asked, "where is Liu Qi, Kong Ming?"


    Zhuge Liang replied, "please tell me that Liu Qi is resting in the backyard. When the Lord comes back, he can go to appease Liu Qi. Now, he has completely lost his fighting spirit. Such a situation is also very disadvantageous to us. "


    Liu Bei nodded. After discussing the matter with his generals, he got up and went to the back yard.


    In the backyard, Liu Bei meets Liu Qi.


    Now, Liu Qi is a lot thinner, but also haggard face, a worried expression. Seeing that Liu Bei was coming, Liu Qi quickly welcomed him. With a worried face, he asked, "Uncle Huang, how about the war in Xiangyang?"


    Liu Bei replied, "I''m defeated!"


    "Well, I knew that Liu Xiu was cunning. It was almost impossible to defeat him."


    Liu Qi''s expression is even worse.


    Liu Bei''s expression was serious and said, "young master Qi, winning or losing is a matter of military affairs. Although we are defeated now, as long as we have one breath, we can fight again. So, please cheer up. Next, I will go to Jiangdong to seek the protection of Sun Quan for the time being. Sun Quan and Liu Xiu are like a raging fire. After we go, we use Sun Quan''s power to seize Xiangyang. "Liu Qi asked, "is there any chance?"


    Liu Bei also sighed in his heart, but he thought of the death of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and said: "Mr. Qi, as long as you don''t give up, you still have a chance. If you give up, there''s no chance


    Liu Qi nodded, still couldn''t help sighing.


    After Liu Bei appeased Liu Qi, he went back to rest by himself. He has been running away these days, exhausted. His heart is also more depressed, a person sitting in the room, licking his wounds.


    Once upon a time, the three brothers met in Zhuoxian county and became friends at first sight.


    At the beginning, Liu Bei kept the idea of wooing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, so he kept wooing them. But with the passage of time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed him to fight against Huangjin, and then went around.


    Three brothers do not leave, Liu Bei has already Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as relatives.


    Later, Guan Yu surrendered to Cao Cao, Zhang Fei was exiled in the ancient city, and he had to submit to Yuan Shao temporarily.


    Liu Bei thought that the three brothers would break up. Unexpectedly, Guan Yu is to protect Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi thousands of miles, to the ancient city and meet Zhang Fei.


    The three separated brothers are together again.


    After Liu Bei occupied Runan, the three brothers had a place to settle down.


    In a twinkling of an eye, Cao Cao''s army moved southward, and Liu Bei''s place was lost, so he had to live under Liu Biao''s command. But I don''t want to. This time, the three brothers really broke up.


    Zhang Fei died in battle!


    Guan Yu died in battle!


    In his mind, Liu Bei circled the scene of Zhang Fei jumping from the city floor, echoing the scene of Guan Yu''s death threatening to let him go first and stay behind.


    Zhang Fei and Guan Yu died for him.


    "Second brother, third brother, I will remember your death. You can rest assured that I will kill Liu Xiu. At that time, take Liu Xiu''s head and pay homage to your grave. "


    Liu Bei clenched his fist and his eyes were full of hatred.


    His mood was also full of ups and downs. Unconsciously, he was already full of tears.


    One night later, outside the city, Liu Bei looked back, looking reluctant to give up.


    Zhuge Liang stood beside Liu Bei and said, "Lord, we''ll see you again. At that time, it must be sweeping Jingzhou. "


    Liu Bei nodded and said, "yes, we will come back."


    "Let''s go!"


    At the command of Liu Bei, thousands of soldiers left Zhangling county and gradually disappeared in the official road.

 Chapter 323

    The situation in Changsha county is still in a stalemate. Huang Zhong''s troops are stationed in Youxian camp and confront Zhou Yu''s troops.


    So far, the two sides have played each other for several times.


    However, no one has been able to gain an overwhelming advantage, so the situation between the two sides is still deadlocked.


    You County camp, the Chinese Army account.


    Huang Zhong and Ma Liang were sitting in the camp. Huang Zhong said, "it''s strange that Zhou Yu didn''t send troops to attack in the last two days. Could it be that Zhou Yu is planning some intrigue? "


    Ma Liang shook his head and said, "Zhou Yu is a very powerful soldier. It''s hard to judge that he doesn''t have to fight for a while. "


    After a pause, Ma Liang continued: "but according to the plan set by the Lord, we should take each one to break it. Therefore, at present, it is mainly the war in Xiangyang. Once Liu Bei is defeated, the focus will shift to Changsha County. So if Zhou Yu doesn''t send troops now, we will have less pressure, and the Lord can go all out to destroy Liu Bei. "


    Huang Zhong said, "that''s the same thing."


    After a pause, Huang Zhong asked: "military adviser, Huang Zu led his army to Yuzhang county. What''s the situation?"


    Ma Liang shook his head and said, "there is no news yet!"


    Huang Zhong said: "Zhou Yu''s army has entered you County, and now they are confronting us. I really don''t understand how Zhou Yu can resist Huang Zu''s army. "


    Ma Liang also shook his head, said: "this issue, I did not consider clearly."


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came in quickly.


    The soldier knelt on one knee and reported: "general Qi, news is coming from Zhou Yu''s barracks. Huang Zu led his army into Yuzhang county and returned after a big defeat. Huang Zu, who withdrew Chaisang, was ambushed again and lost Chaisang. When Huang Zu withdrew to Jiangxia County, Jiangdong army took advantage of the situation to enter Jiangxia county. For a time, the counties of Jiangxia County fell one after another. Now, Huang Zu has fled to Xiangyang, and now his life and death are unknown. "


    Brush!


    Huang Zhong stood up and became very serious.


    Jiang Xia lost!


    Jiangxia county can be said to be the gateway of Jingzhou. Now Jiangdong has directly captured Jiangxia County, which will pose a huge threat to Jingzhou.


    Huang Zhong walked back and forth with his hands on his back.


    After thinking for a moment, he said with a straight face: "military adviser, I understand. I understand Zhou Yu''s intention."


    "In this battle, Zhou Yu''s main battlefield was no longer Youxian County, but Yuzhang county."


    "Zhou Yu''s target is not us, but after he left with a large number of troops, he created the illusion of emptiness in Yuzhang Prefecture and lured Huang Zu to attack. Then he defeated Huang Zu at one stroke. "


    "Huang Zu, who was defeated like a mountain, completely disorganized his troops, and all the counties under his command fell. Moreover, Zhou Yu had already planned for Jiangxia. When Huang Zu led his troops to retreat to Jiangxia, his troops immediately pursued him. Suddenly, he took advantage of the victory and conquered one city after another. Zhou Yu deceived us. "


    Once Huang Zhong broke, Ma Liang suddenly realized.


    We can figure out the situation in a moment.


    Ma Liang quickly turned his head and continued: "general Hansheng, Zhou Yu has conquered the counties in the east of Jiangxia county. His capture of Jiangxia means that the main battlefield before him is over. Now, we are his main battlefield. Does that mean Zhou Yu will attack us soon? What''s more, Zhou Yu''s news clearly means disturbing the morale of the army. "


    "Newspaper!"


    At this time, a general in the army came in quickly.


    Huang Zhong asked, "Jiang Rong, what''s the news?"


    Jiang Rongchen reported: "general, there is news about the fall of Jiangxia County in the camp. So much so that the soldiers in the army are talking about it. "


    Huang Zhong nodded and said, "stabilize the morale of the army immediately!"


    "Yes


    Jiang Rong smell speech, face also has a touch of worry.


    Ma Liang''s eyes turned and said, "Jiang Rong, please let me know. It is said that the herdsman of Jingzhou will soon come to the camp of you county. Originally, I didn''t intend to announce this news. Now I will announce it ahead of time. "


    Jiang Rong''s face brightened and asked, "is it true, commander?"


    Ma Liang said in a deep voice: "our military adviser will cheat you. This is the news from the royal guards."


    "Yes, I will inform you immediately."


    Jiang Rong''s heart burst of joy, in Jiang Rong''s heart, if Liu Xiu came in person. Then there will be no more suspense in this battle, and we will certainly win.


    When Jiang Rong left, Huang Zhong asked, "when will the Lord come, military adviser?"


    Ma Liang shook his head and said, "general Hansheng, I don''t have any news that the Lord is coming. Just look at Jiang Rong''s expression to know that the morale of the army is turbulent. At this time, only with the news of the Lord, that is, the future, can the morale of the army be stabilized. As for the time of the Lord''s coming, it''s not clear yet. But I think that once the Lord calms the war in Xiangyang, he should come in person. "


    Huang Zhong nodded, with a dignified look in his eyes.


    The decisive battle with Zhou Yu is about to begin.


    "Newspaper!"All of a sudden, the soldiers yelled again outside the camp.


    Another soldier came in, kneeling on one knee with a look of joy.


    However, the expression on Huang Zhong''s face was tense. Today, it''s really evil. News came one after another. "What''s the matter?" Huang asked


    The soldier replied, "report back to the general. Just after receiving a letter from the censor, the prefectural herdsman has arrived in you county. Now, I''m on my way to camp. "


    After hearing this, Huang Zhong''s face became ecstatic.


    Waving his hand to let the soldiers retreat, Huang Zhong said: "Bo Chang, go, follow me to meet the Lord."


    Two people out of the camp, came to the camp gate to wait. About a quarter of an hour later, an army appeared in sight.


    The people who came were Liu Xiu and others.


    When Liu Xiu arrived at the gate of the barracks, Huang Zhong saluted and reported: "General Huang Zhong, meet your Lord."


    Ma Liang also came forward and saluted.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "don''t be polite. Go and enter the camp."


    Huang Zhong nodded and took Liu Xiu, Pang Tong, Huang Hu and Sha Moke into the camp. The new soldiers were stationed directly in the camp, while Liu Xiu was promoted.


    When the guests and the host were seated, Liu Xiu said, "Bo Chang, talk about the current situation."


    Ma Liang nodded and said, "my Lord, the current war with Zhou Yu has been a stalemate, and there is no breakthrough yet. There is no difference between the two sides. But just before you arrived at the camp, you received a message. Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, was defeated in Yuzhang county. Now he has fled back to Jiangxia. At the same time, the counties of Jiangxia are lost. Jiangxia County, falling. "


    Liu Xiu''s expression suddenly tightened.


    Liu Xiu asked, "what''s the matter? How can Jiangxia county be like this?"


    Ma Liang replied, "report back to my Lord. After discussing with general Hansheng, I think this is Zhou Yu''s plan. Zhou Yu''s garrison in you County attracted our attention, but he lured Huang Zu to Yuzhang county and defeated Huang Zu at one stroke. "


    Liu Xiu nodded, but his face was dignified.


    Jiangxia county is an important part of Jingzhou. I didn''t expect that Zhou Yu had captured it now. Zhou Yu is really a good tool.


    Liu Xiu suppressed the shock in his heart, looked at Ma Liang and motioned for Ma Liang to continue.


    According to the previous analysis, Ma Liang said: "Lord, I discussed it with general Hansheng before. He thought that Zhou Yu had focused on Yuzhang Prefecture before, but now he released the news of seizing Jiangxia. Now, he may lead the army to attack you county. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "this analysis is reasonable. Now, Zhou Yu should take the initiative to attack."


    Huang Hu is secretly anxious in his heart and says: "Lord, Jiangxia county is lost. Please send troops to take back Jiangxia county." Huang Zu is Huang Hu''s father. Now that Huang Zu is defeated, Huang Hu is extremely worried.


    Ma Liang answered and asked, "at present, we only receive news of the defeat of Huang Taishou. There is no other news for the time being. For the time being, no news is the best news. "


    In a word, Huang Hu is relieved.


    No news means that Huang Zu was not killed in the war for the time being.


    Liu Xiu also comforted: "Huzi, Huang Taishou''s auspicious person has his own natural appearance. He must be OK."


    Huang Hu arched his hand and said, "thank you, Lord."

 Chapter 324

    Liu Xiu said, "Deng Zhan!"


    "I''m in a humble position!"


    Deng Zhan stepped forward and answered.


    Liu Xiu said: "you immediately send orders to the royal guards and go to Jiangxia county to find out the news of Huang Taishou. In any case, we must ensure the safety of Huang Tai Shou. "


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan nods and answers with his fist.


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly. Huang Hu was the most powerful general in the army. After several wars, Huang Hu experienced real fighting, and his martial arts became mature and weak. Today''s Huang Hu, I''m afraid it''s Huang Zhong who can''t please him.


    In this case, Liu Xiu naturally has to make Huang Hu feel at ease.


    After listening to Liu Xiu''s arrangement, Huang Hu said again, "thank you, Lord."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said: "now, the situation of Jiangxia county and Changsha county is clear. All of you will express your opinions and tell us how to deal with the next war. "


    Huang Hu didn''t even want to think about it. He apologized: "Jiangxia county has fallen. The situation is critical. Please recover Jiangxia county first."


    Liu Xiu just nodded, but he didn''t show anything.


    Shamoko said: "Lord, where you point, where you will fight."


    As soon as he said this, Liu Xiu couldn''t help laughing. This shamoko is really You said he was a savage, but his mind was rather cunning. When he asked about the war, he didn''t know, so he just showed his loyalty and felt his existence.


    Liu Xiu asked, "what about the others?"


    Huang Zhong said: "Lord, the last general thinks that the main battlefield is still Changsha County, and Jiangxia county is the third. In this battle with Zhou Yu, we must completely defeat Zhou Yu''s forces. Cao Cao from the north is about to go south. If Jiangdong''s troops are still strong, it means that Jiangdong may still have the power to challenge the Lord. Once Jiangdong is disabled, Cao Cao will go south, and the Lord will unite with Jiangdong again, so that the Lord will be the main force. "


    With a serious face, Pang Tong said, "the key point of this battle is to attack Zhou Yu first, no matter whether Jiangxia county falls or not. At one stroke, he defeated Zhou Yu''s forces and Jiangdong''s confidence. Then, we are ready for the next war. "


    Liu xiudao: "the analysis of the military division is very reasonable."


    "Tai Shici, listen to the order!"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Tai Shici.


    Before, when fighting with Liu Bei, taishici stayed in Xiangyang town. Now when he comes to you County, Liu Xiu brings Tai Shici with him. However, Liu Xiu also told Tai Shici in advance that he would not be allowed to participate in the war with Jiang Dongbing.


    Tai Shici stood up and saluted.


    Liu Xiu said, "Ziyi, it''s not convenient for you to take part in the war in Changsha County. In that case, you will go back to Jiangling County immediately. Then tell wenpin to dispatch an army to you. If you lead you into Jiangxia county to harass, you only need to harass. There is no need to fight. "


    "No!"


    But he was relieved.


    When he arrived in Changsha County, he had to go to the battlefield and confront Zhou Yu once he met with war or needed him. This made his heart a little uncomfortable.


    Now he went back to Nanjun and then went to Jiangxia county to harass him. It was very easy for taishici.


    ¡­¡­


    Jiangxia County, Anlu county.


    Anlu county is located in the Midwest of Jiangxia county. After the defeat of huangzu, he retreated all the way. When he was in Anlu County, he finally stopped.


    After entering the county seat, more than a thousand soldiers stationed around Huang Zu, he also washed up in the camp. In this battle, tens of thousands of troops under Huang Zu''s command were all defeated. Only Zhang Shuo, Chen Jiu and other generals came back with him.


    In the camp, Huang zuduan sits at the top, accompanied by the magistrate of Anlu County, the county magistrate and the county captain.


    The magistrate of Anlu County said, "my Lord, now the soldiers of Jiangdong are fiercely covering up and killing. If the soldiers of Jiangdong are killed in Anlu County, I''m afraid they can''t resist with the troops of Anlu county."


    Anlu county magistrate''s face is also a worried look.


    Huang Zu was also worried.


    It is obvious that the Jiangdong soldiers had been planning this war for a long time. They had ambushed the soldiers in Jiangxia county so early that the counties in Jiangxia County lost them so quickly that they could not stop them.


    However, Huang Zu naturally can not let Anlu county magistrate waver.


    Huang Zu said with a smile: "there is no need to worry about this. On the way to retreat, the prefect has sent soldiers to Xiangyang for help, with the support of the Lord. At the same time, I have sent a letter to Huang Hu. He is now respected by his Lord and appointed general Fubo to take charge of the flying tiger camp. I asked Huang Hu to help me. It is expected that the Lord will send troops as soon as possible. Therefore, we are mainly stationed now. We will be safe and sound after a period of time. "


    As soon as these words came out, the magistrate of Anlu calmed down. He looked at Huang Zu, arched his hand and said, "the governor has already made arrangements, so I''m relieved."


    Huang Zu waved his hand and said, "don''t worry. Reinforcements will come soon."


    Anlu county magistrate and Huang Zu said a series of things about food and garrison, and then contented to put down the heart hanging in the air, with a group of officials left.Only Zhang Shuo and Chen are left in the big account.


    Zhang Shuo looked surprised and said, "my Lord, when did you send someone to deliver the letter? Mo Jiang has been worried all the time. Now the news is sent to Liu Jingzhou, who will certainly come to the rescue. "


    Huang Zu rolled his eyes and said, "Zhang Shuo, you''ve been following me all day. Which eye has seen my letter."


    "Ah


    Zhang Shuo exclaimed with surprise.


    Huang Zu said: "the magistrate of Anlu county is very worried. If I don''t appease him, I''m afraid Anlu county may not be able to resist. Even mutiny is not impossible. Now, let them have complete peace of mind, so that they can resist Jiang Dongbing. "


    Zhang Shuo took a deep breath and said, "you are wise."


    Huang Zu sighed and said, "how can I be wise? I''ve lost my reputation in this war and lost my face completely. After the war, I don''t know how the guild punished me. Alas... "


    Chen said: "don''t worry, Huzi is a general under Liu Jingzhou. No matter what, Liu Jingzhou will not be punished severely. If you can''t bear monk''s noodles, you have to look at Buddha''s noodles. "


    "I hope so," said Huang


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came in and reported, "my Lord, the royal guards are looking for you."


    "Please


    Huang zumei is the first to pick up. He also pays attention to the changes in Xiangyang and knows that the royal guards are Liu Xiu''s confidants. I didn''t expect that he had just arrived in Anlu County, and the people of the royal guards had already found him.


    Soon after, a middle-aged man in black came in.


    He bowed himself to salute and said, "Mr. Huang, the governor of the state has learned the news of Jiangxia county. The governor of the state has entrusted you to organize the troops of all counties to resist the Jiangdong soldiers as much as possible. Once Zhou Mu defeated Zhou Yu, he would clean up Jiangdong soldiers in Jiangxia county. At the same time, the prefectural herdsman has ordered taishici to go under the command of general wenpin of the first army, and will soon lead an army into Jiangxia county. "


    After a pause, he said: "at that time, you can cooperate well. Mr. Zhou Mu also said that one defeat is nothing. The most important thing is to stand up and fight again after defeat. That''s the true character of a hero. "


    " yes, thank you, Lord. "


    Huang Zu''s heart was also touched.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu didn''t even reprimand him. Instead, he encouraged him to fight again. Huang Zu took a deep breath and said: "please tell the Lord that Huang Zu will recover Jiangxia county and live up to the Lord''s high expectations."


    The people of the royal guards nodded, entrusted some things, and then turned to leave.

 Chapter 325

    You County, jiangdongbing camp.


    Chinese army big account!


    Zhou Yu was sitting in the camp, discussing military affairs with Huang Gai, Ling Tong, Xu Sheng and Zhu ran.


    Zhou Yu has made a plan for Huang Zhong''s attack strategy.


    First, use the news of Jiangxia county''s defeat to disturb the morale of Huang Zhong''s soldiers. After the news ferments, he leads his troops to Huang Zhong''s barracks, and is sure to defeat Huang Zhong''s soldiers at one stroke.


    Second, the next step is to conquer Changsha County, and then postpone sending troops to unite Jiangxia county and Changsha County. After the troops are stabilized, they go straight to Xiangyang and fight Liu Xiu.


    The third is to sweep the whole Xiangyang.


    Zhou Yu''s big plan has been considered clearly, and now he is arranging small plans one by one.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, outside the camp, a soldier reported it.


    "Come in!"


    Zhou Yu ordered the soldiers to enter the tent.


    Without looking up, Zhou Yu asked, "is there any news?"


    "Reporting back to the governor of Dadu, we got more news that Liu Xiu had gone south from Xiangyang and now he had entered Huang Zhong''s camp," the soldier reported


    "What?"


    There was a look of surprise in Zhou Yu''s eyes.


    The soldier said again, "Liu Xiu is here. He is in Huang Zhong''s barracks now."


    Zhou Yu waved to the soldiers to step down, but his face became gloomy.


    Zhu ran said solemnly: "after the news of Jiangxia county''s defeat came out, the soldiers under Huang Zhong''s command must be unstable. However, as soon as Liu Xiu arrived, the situation would change immediately. As long as Liu Xiu was in charge, Huang Zhong''s soldiers would not mutiny. They even think that they can win the battle. It can be said that when Liu Xiu came, he destroyed the plan of the governor. "


    "Damn it


    There was a trace of resentment in Zhou Yu''s eyes.


    Unexpectedly, this time he met Liu Xiu, and even let his plan come to an end directly.


    Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu''s going south to Xiangyang means that Liu Bei''s war in Xiangyang has completely failed, and he doesn''t know what happened to the war in the north."


    "Newspaper!"


    At the same time, another soldier reported outside the camp and came in.


    "What''s the news?" Zhou Yu asked


    The soldier reported: "in reply to the governor of Dadu, Liu Bei was defeated in Xiangyang, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were killed, and more than 20000 troops were destroyed. Nanyang County has fallen into the hands of Yizhou. At present, Liu Bei has fled in the direction of Nanyang County to Jiangdong. "


    "Hiss!"


    Zhou Yu couldn''t help taking a cold breath, and his eyes were shining with wisdom.


    Yizhou army!


    The army that conquered Nanyang County turned out to be Yizhou army.


    Zhou Yu asked, "the Xiangyang war, please tell me the details."


    "No!"


    The soldier gave a reply, and then told the information in detail.


    After hearing this, Zhou Yu waved his hand and asked the soldiers to step down. Then he said with emotion, "Liu Xiu is really cunning. Cao Nanyang has become a new garrison, and now it is Zhang''s garrison. It''s really a good method, and it''s such an accident that it''s a magic stroke. Liu Xiu''s strategy is always so treacherous. "


    Huang Gai said: "it''s a pity that Liu Bei''s more than 20000 troops were buried in Xiangyang. What''s more, even Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are dead, and Liu Bei is a loser. "


    Zhou Yu said: "Liu Xiu''s strategy is so tricky. Next, we must be careful when we fight with Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu is not a simple person. Before that, the fall of Chaisang was an example. "


    Huang Gai Baoquan way: "most governor, Chaisang fall, is the end of the general and others guard disadvantageous."


    As soon as Zhou Yu''s sleeve brushed, he turned away from the topic and stopped talking about Chaisang''s war, saying: "Liu Xiu arrived in you county directly. That is to say, Liu Xiu put the war in you county. From Liu Xiu''s point of view, we must think that as long as we defeat our governor, the situation in Jiangxia county will be solved. Unfortunately, he is gambling. Once the governor can''t be defeated, the situation of Jiangxia county will be rotten. Even the situation in Changsha County will be very cruel. At that time, Liu Xiu will be stretched


    Zhu ran asked: "Dudu, now the morale of Jingzhou soldiers must be restored. How can we attack each other now?"


    Zhou Yu''s eyes showed a trace of dignity.


    It''s not easy to design and attack Liu Xiu.


    Huang Gai suddenly said, "the governor of Dadu, at the end of the day, will suggest the use of bitter meat."


    Zhou Yu asked, "what do you think of General Huang?"


    Huang Gai, with a look of joy in his eyes, said slowly, "I have created a contradiction between the old man and the governor of Dadu. It is publicized that the governor of Dadu thinks that Liu Xiu is coming, so he wants to stay away and withdraw to Chaling County."


    "However, I insisted on not, and insulted Dadu. Then Dadu scolded me directly. Then, in a rage, I directly prepared to go to Liu Xiu and tell him the location of the food and grass, so that Liu Xiu could send a main force to attack the food and grass camp. "Huang Gai said with a smile: "in this way, the governor of Dadu directly set up an ambush in the grain and grass camp to ambush Liu Xiu. In the first World War, we must be able to win. "


    Huang Gai''s idea of bitter meat was revealed in his eyes.


    Huang Gai pondered this strategy for a long time. He believed that Liu Xiu would adopt it if he wanted to be eager for success or beat Zhou Yu.


    After hearing this, Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said, "General Huang''s idea is very good, but this strategy can''t hide Liu Xiu. Moreover, Liu Xiu will surely know that the general is pretending to surrender. "


    "Ah


    Huang Gai showed a puzzled expression and said, "no way!"


    Zhou Yu said: "to set a trap to deceive Liu Xiu, or to deceive Liu Xiu''s counselors, it is not only a matter of hard work, but also a matter of truth and falsehood. Therefore, it will take a series of strategies to succeed. "


    Huang Gai''s eyes immediately showed a smile and asked, "governor of Dadu, how can I settle down?"


    Zhu ran, Ling Tong and others are all smiling.


    With a smile, Zhou Yu carefully pulled out the plan. After his plan was finished, Zhu ran, Ling Tong and others could not help exclaiming.


    Zhu ran said with admiration: "governor, your strategy is to use several strategies at the same time. If this strategy continues, Liu Xiu will be defeated. All kinds of strategies are used in a series of ways, one by one, and there is no doubt that they will win. "


    Ling Tong said: "in terms of tactics, although Liu Xiu is cunning, he is just treacherous. The strategy of the governor of Dadu is the combination of the virtual and the real, which is difficult to distinguish. Even though Liu Xiu was suspicious, after a series of tricks, Liu Xiu fell into the tactics of Dadu governor step by step. At the end of the day, he will suddenly find that he is already in the middle of calculation. "


    Pan Zhang rubbed his hands and could not help saying: "the tactics of the governor are really ingenious. There is no doubt that Liu Xiu will be defeated in this battle. "


    Xu Sheng said: "the key to this strategy is General Huang. However, I''m afraid General Huang''s body can''t bear it if he goes down with the thirty army staff. "


    Huang Gai''s big sleeve brushed and said, "I can still bear the thirty army staff. If all the thirty army sticks are fake, how can I cheat Liu Xiu? What is bitter meat stratagem, bitter meat stratagem must be true, in order to deceive Liu Xiu


    Xu highly praised: "the old general is so lucky in Jiangdong."


    At this time, Zhou Yu listened to the voice of a group of people under his command, and his heart raised a burst of expectations, and he had endless pride. He repeatedly designed and dealt with Liu Xiu, but every time, he fell into Liu Xiu''s hands.


    Liu Xiu will be defeated in this war!


    In Zhou Yu''s heart, he had a strong self-confidence. He was confident that the strategy of the war would be perfectly implemented.

 Chapter 326

    Huang Gai confronts Zhou Yu in the barracks. Huang Gai insists on attacking, while Zhou Yu thinks that Liu Xiu should be avoided. At the end, Huang Gai openly insulted Zhou Yu, saying that Zhou Yu didn''t want to make progress and that he would withdraw only because he was afraid of Liu Xiu.


    Zhou Yu was so angry that he said that Huang Gai was brave but not resourceful. He even told us that Sun Jian was killed and sun CE was stabbed because Huang Gai was too busy to persuade him.


    In this way, the contradiction between the two sides broke out.


    The fight between the two escalated. In the end, Zhou Yu drove directly to the right of Dadu governor, and took charge of the thirty army staff with his staff.


    when the thirty army staff went down, Huang Gai''s skin was split, and he was beaten so hard that he couldn''t even stand up. All the soldiers carried him back to the camp to have a rest.


    Finally, Zhou Yu directly withdrew and returned to Chaling County.


    Huang Gai was not convinced, so he wrote to Sun Quan directly, asking Sun Quan to do justice.


    Where to know, Zhou Yu also wrote to Sun Quan.


    After the news of the two men reached Sun Quan, Sun Quan sent a letter to the barracks and severely reprimanded Zhou Yu, saying that Zhou Yu should not treat the veteran like this, even if Huang Gai was wrong. Although it seemed to defend Huang Gai, it actually agreed with Zhou Yu''s plan to retreat.


    Huang Gai was depressed all day.


    At this time, the generals in the barracks also looked on Huang Gai coldly.


    News spread in the barracks, but also quickly spread to the Youxian camp.


    Chinese army big account!


    Standing in front of Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan reported the news from Chaling County.


    After listening to the news about Zhou Yu and Huang Gai, Liu Xiu said, "Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one would like to beat the other. This kind of thing, is the drunkard''s intention does not lie in the wine, all is for me


    Pang Tong sat at the bottom, his eyes turned, his eyes showed a deep color of joy, and said: "my Lord is wise, I also think this is Zhou Yu''s intentional design. In Jiangdong, Zhou Yu has a high prestige, and he is also very generous, so he is not likely to conflict with Huang Gai. In addition, Huang Gai could not refuse Sun Quan, but he would never refuse Zhou Yu. So their bitter meat plan is really for the Lord. "


    Deng Zhan understood Pang Tong''s analysis.


    So, there is the news.


    Deng Zhan asked, "Lord, since Zhou Yu uses bitter meat tactics, what are we going to do next?"


    Liu Xiu smile, said: "nothing, waiting for Huang Gai himself to come."


    "Ah


    Deng Zhan was surprised. He didn''t expect such an answer.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "go down and continue to inquire about the news."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan clasped his fist and turned to quit the camp.


    Liu xiudao: "Shiyuan, Zhou Yu set up a bitter meat plan, which means that the drunkard''s intention is not to drink. But with Zhou Yu''s wisdom, he has been fighting with us for many times. It''s impossible to think that this strategy can deceive us. Therefore, Zhou Yu''s bitter meat strategy should be just a introduction. Next, there should be some tricks. "


    Pang Tong nodded and said, "no matter what, after Huang Zhong came. No matter what he said, his ultimate goal must be to take him to the ditch, let him into Zhou Yu''s trap, and then ambush him. "


    Liu xiudao: "that''s for sure."


    Pang Tong raised the corner of his mouth and said, "so under such circumstances, why don''t we make a plan?"


    "Oh, Shiyuan, what are you going to do?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Pang Tong replied, "Zhou Yu used bitter meat, and we also used bitter meat."


    Liu Xiu made a careful calculation, then suddenly understood it and said, "Shiyuan, I''m afraid this strategy is not easy to succeed. With Zhou Yu''s shrewdness, it''s impossible to deceive him with such tactics. "


    After a pause, Liu said: "of course, if you succeed in cheating Zhou Yu, that''s the best result. If it doesn''t work, start the next plan. "


    Pang Tong laughed and asked, "what''s your plan?"


    Liu Xiu explained his plan immediately. After that, he said, "we are using a chain game. Maybe Zhou Yu is also in the game, so it depends on who can be better at it."


    Pang Tong said, "there is no doubt that Zhou Yu will be defeated."


    After summing up their plans, they discussed the details.


    "Newspaper!"


    At this time, Deng Zhan rushed to the camp and reported: "Lord, Huang Gai is visiting." In Deng Zhan''s heart, he felt that things were really strange. He simply didn''t understand the thinking of these wise men. He didn''t expect that Huang Gai really came.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "gather all the generals, and then ask Huang Gai to come to the tent."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan made arrangements immediately, and soon all the generals in the army, such as Huang Zhong, Ma Liang, Sha Moke and Huang Hu, arrived.


    Soon, Huang Gai came to the big account.


    When Huang Gai walked, he staggered a little, and his buttocks were slightly pursed. It was obvious that he had suffered 30 army sticks before, so that his buttocks were very painful, and he still hasn''t recovered.Entering the tent, Huang Gai glanced at it.


    In the camp, Huang Gai knew most of the people and met them with sharp eyes. However, Huang Gai was calm in his heart and said, "Huang Gai, meet Liu Jingzhou."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "why did General Huang come to our camp?"


    Huang Gai said: "without him, give Liu Jingzhou a victory."


    "Oh, what victory?"


    Liu Xiu''s heart is clear, but he asks directly.


    Huang Gai said: "I know that Zhou Yu''s army is in the granary of Chaling County. As long as Liu Jingzhou sends an elite to the granary. In this war, he won without fighting, and Zhou Yu broke through without fighting. "


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Liu Xiu burst out laughing and looked contemptuous.


    Huang Gai asked, "why does Liu Jingzhou laugh?"


    Liu Xiu leaned forward slightly and said, "General Huang, do you think I''m cheating in General Huang''s eyes. So, General Huang came to deceive me and asked us to lead our troops to Chaling County so that Zhou Yu could ambush us? "


    Huang Gai said: "Liu Jingzhou, I''ve come to surrender this time. I''m really here. Liu Jingzhou is like this. Maybe he doesn''t believe me. "


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "you Huang Gai, who followed Sun Jian to rise in the end, helped sun CE to lay the Jiangdong stratagem, and was the elder minister left by sun CE. In Jiangdong, you have great prestige. Now, they have to rebel against the sun family, the old General Huang, and lie. That''s not what they say. "


    "Alas


    Huang Gai sighed and said, "Liu Jingzhou, you don''t know the situation."


    Liu Xiu said: "I don''t know what happened?"


    Huang Gai said, "first of all, I really have a high reputation in Jiangdong, but because of this, I have become a stumbling block for Sun Quan. Sun Quan is not happy with me everywhere. He thinks that my existence has affected him to take charge of Jiangdong. In fact, not only me, but also Cheng Pu and Han Dang. If Liu Jingzhou is willing, I can also help Liu Jingzhou persuade them. "


    "Second, I was in the army, which made Zhou Yu feel constrained. Zhou Yu has a very high vision, but he is headstrong. He thinks he is doing everything right. He takes the army as his own, and does not consider the opinions of the generals in the army at all. "


    "Third, Zhou Yu should set an example to others. Because of the repeated battles with Liu Jingzhou, Zhou Yu failed every time. I''m not only dissatisfied with Zhou Yu, but also a leader. If Zhou Yu wanted to take control of the army, he set an example to others and let the army not move. "


    Huang Gai looked serious and said: "for the above reasons, I and Zhou Yu are in a state of flux. However, what I didn''t expect was that Sun Quan chose Zhou Yu in order to deal with me regardless of the overall situation. It''s really chilling. Under such circumstances, I decided that Jiangdong would lose. It is better to change the family as soon as possible and follow Liu Jingzhou. But I didn''t expect that Liu Jingzhou didn''t believe me. "


    "Just, just, since Liu Jingzhou doesn''t accept it, I''ll go back to the mountains."


    Huang Gai, with a lonely expression on his face, arched his hand and said, "Liu Jingzhou, excuse me, goodbye!"


    With that, Huang Gai turned and went outside.


    He walked slowly, almost step by step. When he came to the gate of the camp, Liu Xiu didn''t stop him. Huang Gai was a little anxious. Huang Gai sighed in his heart and thought, "Liu Xiu is not fooled. It seems to be useless."


    "Wait a minute!"


    Suddenly, Liu Xiu''s voice came from behind him.


    Huang Gai was very happy, but the expression on his face was still light and cloudless. He said slowly, "Liu Jingzhou stopped me. What''s the matter?" At this time, since Liu Xiu stopped him, Huang Gai was not anxious, and he was calm.

 Chapter 327

    "Lord, I have something to say."


    Just after Huang Gai came back, suddenly Pang Tong stood up and stood in the hall.


    Huang Gai''s eyes fell on Pang Tong, and his brows picked.


    Pang Tong!


    This man is Liu Xiu''s military adviser. If Pang Tong and Liu Xiu have a quarrel, that''s good.


    In Huang Gai''s mind, Zhou Yu''s plan is still echoing. In Zhou Yu''s plan, either Liu Xiu or Liu Xiu''s counselors will definitely see the plan and see who will jump out against it.


    Liu Xiu asked, "Shiyuan, what do you want to say?"


    Pang Tong bowed his hand and said, "Lord, I suggest that Huang Gai be killed and his head be given to Zhou Yu."


    Huang Gai''s heart trembled violently.


    This Pang Tong has a vicious heart!


    As soon as he comes up, he will be killed. Once he is killed, the plan will end naturally, and even the morale of the army will be damaged.


    Huang Gai took a deep breath, suppressed his surprise and said, "I don''t know why Mr. Pang was so targeted at me?"


    Pang Tong''s eyes were as sharp as a knife, and said: "Huang Gai, you can deceive the Lord, but if you want to deceive me Pang Tong, who is a fool talking in his dream. Hum, it was our military division who planned to capture Yuzhang county and Chaisang county. In the eyes of our military division, Zhou Yu is a transparent person. You want to cheat me. It''s impossible. "


    Huang Gai''s eyebrows rose and he was very happy.


    It turned out that everything was planned by Pang Tong.


    So it''s easier to cheat Liu Xiu. However, the first thing to be alienated is the relationship between Liu Xiu and Pang Tong. Only by making Liu Xiu distrust Pang tong can he succeed and weaken Liu Xiu''s power. Especially from the words just now, Huang Gai found that Pang Tong was very strong and even self righteous.


    It is not difficult to deal with this kind of character.


    Huang Gai turned to Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Jingzhou is wise and wise. I believe that Liu Jingzhou has his own consideration. Liu Jingzhou, I believe you can judge the truth. "


    In fact, Huang Gai has another layer of determination.


    Liu Xiu can''t kill Huang Gai because of his love and reason.


    Otherwise, when the news gets out, other people will surely think that Liu Xiu is not polite and has a great influence on his reputation.


    Liu Xiu said, "Shiyuan, your consideration is reasonable. Of course, I also think that Huang Gai''s coming is probably Zhou Yu''s plan. But Huang Gai said that he would send a victory, since he knew the location of the granary. In fact, it is very easy to confirm the news. As long as we send an army to the granary, we can naturally judge whether it is true or not. "


    Pang Tong still shook his head and said eagerly, "my Lord, Zhou Yu must have set a trap. He must have done the whole play. He would have expected this. Lord, since Zhou Yu dares to let Huang Gai do his best. Then what Huang Gai said, what he did, and even what you wanted to do, were all in Zhou Yu''s expectation. You must not believe it. "


    After a pause, Pang Tong continued: "I even think that the granary arranged by Zhou Yu is also true. It''s intended to make the Lord think he is successful, let you believe huanggai bit by bit, and finally give a fatal blow."


    Huang Gai was surprised that Pang Tong had guessed Zhou Yu''s mind. Indeed, in Zhou Yu''s arrangement, the granary was real, just to let Huang Gai win Liu Xiu''s trust.


    However, Huang Gai is still calm.


    He said humbly: "Liu Jingzhou, Pang Junshi''s words, I don''t comment, just want to say a word. Before the successive wars in Jiangdong, he made an alliance with Liu Bei, not only to supply Jiangdong''s army with food, but also to be responsible for Liu Bei''s food. Jiang Dong is short of grain. Will Zhou Yu make fun of it? "


    Pang Tong once again said, "in order to win, it''s not impossible for Zhou Yu. Lord, please think twice." He looked at Huang Gai and said angrily, "Huang Gai, our military division has seen through Zhou Yu''s plan. You can''t succeed."


    Huang Gai said: "right or wrong, it''s a matter of public opinion. I believe that Liu Jingzhou will have his own opinions when he is in charge of Jingzhou. If Liu Jingzhou doesn''t even have a point of view, I''d better go back to the mountains. "


    Liu Xiu big sleeve a brush, way: "Shi Yuan, you temporarily don''t talk."


    "Lord!"


    Pang Tong was worried, his eyes were anxious.


    Liu Xiu said: "Huang Gai said granary is true, so try again. When the granary was burned, Zhou Yu would withdraw because of the shortage of food. At that time, nature can tell the true from the false. Moreover, I agree with Huang Gai''s analysis that food is the foundation of the army, and Zhou Yu can''t waste it. Shiyuan, this time, you are wrong. "


    Pang Tong still insisted on his own opinion and said, "Lord, you are wrong. You were cheated by Huang Gai and Zhou Yu."


    At this time, Ma Liang said: "Pang Junshi, actually I think, no matter what, you can have a try first. In a word, we just sent a team of soldiers to burn each other''s grain and burned the plan after the decision. "


    Pang Tong said angrily, "if you don''t plan for the overall situation, you can''t plan for one area. If you do this, you will surely lose."


    Huang Gai said with a smile: "Pang Junshi, you are not the only one who is smart. Do you think Mr. Pang is smarter than everyone here? "Pang Tong asked, "does the Lord really want to send troops?"


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "old General Huang has told me the location of the granary. Naturally, I want to have a try."


    "Well, I wish you good luck. I don''t feel well. I''ll go back and have a rest first. "


    Pang Tong arched his hand, turned and left.


    Liu Xiuyan watched Pang Tong go down, his face was gloomy, and his eyes showed an angry expression.


    This scene, fell in the eyes of Huang Gai, Huang Gai is very happy. The purpose of the plan was to alienate Liu Xiu and his subordinates. Originally, Huang Gai thought Liu Xiu was cunning and hard to separate. Now it seems that the reason why Liu Xiuzhi and Jiangdong fought and won in succession is actually Pang Tong''s plan, and Liu Xiu''s ability is very general.


    Huang Gai asked, "when will Liu Jingzhou send troops?"


    Liu Xiu asked, "where is the location?"


    Huang Gai replied, "Zhou Yu''s grain storage site is at the junction of Chaling County and you county. In the southwest of Wuli Road, there is a mountain forest with open terrain, which can accommodate food. Zhou Yu''s grain is hidden in it. "


    After saying that, Huang Gai said, "the location has been told to Liu Jingzhou. When to send troops, it will be handed over to Liu Jingzhou. Liu Jingzhou will know that I''m really here to surrender when I get the other party''s food. "


    Liu Xiu praised: "good, send troops tonight."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "come on, take old General Huang down to have a rest."


    When the soldiers came in, they took Huang Zhong out. When they came out of the camp, he slowed down. After listening carefully, Huang Zhong said: "Lord, although Pang Jun Shi''s character is a little tough, he doesn''t know how to adapt. However, there is no doubt about Pang''s talent. In the heart of general Mo, he actually believes more in Mr. Pang. "


    Liu xiudao: "but it is undeniable that Huang Gai''s words are reasonable. Anyway, burn Zhou Yu''s grain first. As long as there is no food, Zhou Yu will be in trouble. "


    Huang Gai stopped for a moment at the gate of the barracks. He had heard what he should listen to and left with a big step.


    In the tent, Liu Xiu took a look at the gate of the tent, and then said, "Han Sheng, this night, you sent a elite team to burn grain according to the location Huang Gai said. I estimate that since Zhou Yu has set up a plan, the grain should be real. It''s good to burn some of the grain. "


    At this time, Huang Zhong said, "Lord, we have burned each other''s grain. According to the analysis of the military division, Zhou Yu will withdraw. What shall we do then?"


    Liu Xiu said with a light smile: "when the time comes, I will know. All you have to do is to be ready for the soldiers at all times, ready to fight. This time, if Zhou Yu wants to set a trap, we will play with him to see who can laugh to the end. "


    Ma Liang''s mouth also aroused a touch of expectation, looking forward to the development of the war.

 Chapter 328

    In the evening, a troop of more than 1000 soldiers quickly left the camp in you county.


    After leaving, the army went straight to the junction of Chaling County and you county. After three hours of rapid march, it collapsed. By the early morning of the next day, the team had arrived.


    The army suddenly launched an attack, and within half an hour of fierce fighting, it broke through the camp. After entering the camp, the team entered the granary and directly opened the sacks for generations. In every sack, there is grain.


    Confirmed, soldiers set fire to it.


    When the fire broke out, the whole camp turned into a sea of fire, and then the Jingzhou soldiers left quickly.


    This news soon spread to Zhou Yu''s camp.


    When Zhou Yu heard the news, he had a bright smile on his face. He looked at the generals under his command and said, "you guys, Liu Xiu has sent troops to burn the camp. Now, although he may still doubt Huang Gai, at least he should believe that Huang Gai is telling the truth."


    Pan Zhang said, "next, it depends on what the other party is going to do."


    "Liu Xiu''s next step, of course, is to take a walk in the news and disturb my morale," Zhou said


    Xu Sheng said, "governor of Dadu, how much grain was burned this time?"


    Zhou Yu chuckled and said, "there is very little grain burned. Liu Xiu''s soldiers are in a hurry to inspect the grain. Nature is to choose the outermost test, so the food on the two outer layers is real. After they stabbed it with a knife, what they saw was true. So don''t worry. "


    Hearing the speech, Xu Sheng also looks forward to the start of the next step plan.


    After Zhou Yu got the news, one thousand soldiers of the operation had returned to Youxian camp.


    The school that led the army came to the tent and saluted respectfully.


    At this time, Liu Xiu, Pang Tong, Huang Zhong, Ma Liang, and Huang Gai were also in the camp.


    Xiaoxiaozhi reported: "my Lord, the general led his troops to attack. He really took the food from the other side. In this war, the grain burned, at least tens of thousands of stones, burned Zhou Yu''s grain. "


    Huang Gai looked at the school and asked, "how much grain do you have, roughly?"


    "There''s too much food. There should be about 30000 stones at least," he said


    Huang Gai took a look at Pang Tong and said, "Liu Jingzhou, thirty thousand stone grain. This is a million jin grain. With so much grain, it is not easy for Jiangdong. Will Liu Jingzhou and Zhou Yu cheat with so much grain? If I were Zhou Yu, I would never be like that. "


    Pang Tong did not give up, said: "Lord, now, I am more sure that it is Zhou Yu''s plan."


    "Why?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Pang Tong replied, "it''s a coincidence. Can only 1000 soldiers attack a million jin of grain? I believe that this must be Zhou Yu''s plan. Please kill Huang Gai. "


    "Alas


    Huang Gai sighed and said, "it''s OK. I''ll take it as a gift to Liu Jingzhou for a victory. Next, I won''t participate. take leave! I''ll go back to the mountains. "


    "Wait a minute!"


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and stopped Huang Gai.


    Liu Xiu looked at Pang Tong and said, "Shiyuan, although he had doubted Huang Gai before, now it seems that he really came to surrender. So, you don''t have to target him anymore. Although Zhou Yu was good at stratagem, he was not so good at gambling with one million jin of grain. So, from now on, don''t doubt old General Huang any more. "


    Pang Tong said, "don''t you believe me, Lord?"


    Liu Xiu calm eyes, light way: "Shi Yuan, I always believe you. It''s just that you are too sensitive to some things. I believe that Zhou Yu really missed out on this matter. "


    "Ha ha, there is no such simple omission."


    Pang Tong stood up and said, "since Liu Jingzhou is determined to go his own way, Pang Tong won''t accompany him. Hum, Lizi He scolded a, big sleeve a whisk, turned to walk out.


    Huang Gai quickly advised: "Liu Jingzhou, because Huang Gai alone offended Pang Junshi, it''s not worth it!"


    Huang Zhong also said: "Lord, please think twice!"


    Ma Liang went on to say: "Lord, although Pang Junshi was a little impatient, he was also thinking about him. Lord, once Shiyuan leaves, I''m afraid he won''t come back. Please leave Mr. Pang. "


    A group of civil servants and military generals began to persuade one after another.


    Liu Xiu big sleeve a whisk, hum a voice, way: "want to come back, he will come back naturally."


    In a word, Pang Tong, who came to the gate of the barracks, froze and stayed for a while. Then Pang Tong took a step and left.


    Huang Gai saw this, but he was delighted.


    Finally, Pang Tong left.


    The vision and mind of Pang Tong were so terrible that he had a complete insight into the tactics of the governor. Fortunately, most of the governors used the estrangement plan. If they only used the bitter meat plan, I''m afraid it''s impossible to succeed.


    At this time, Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Huang Zhong, take a walk immediately. It''s said that Zhou Yu''s grain and grass have been burned. Hum, there''s something wrong with Zhou Yu''s grain and grass. Let''s see how he can still get a foothold in Chaling County. ""No!"


    Huang Zhong got the order and arranged it directly.


    After the crowd dispersed, Huang Gai stayed for a while. He said, "Liu Jingzhou, although Pang Junshi''s words are harsh. But in my opinion, he''s good. "


    Liu Xiu brushed his sleeve and said with a black face: "don''t mention Pang Tong any more. Hum, do you really think that without him, I can''t do it?"


    Huang Gai sighed, and he was no longer persuading.


    Liu Xiu said, "old General Huang, go down and have a rest. Next, we are going to send troops."


    "Yes


    Huang Gai got up, turned and stepped down.


    After a while, Deng Zhan came in in a hurry.


    Deng Zhan said with a happy expression: "Lord, the royal guards have found Huang Taishou. At present, Huang Taishou is in Anlu county. The humble position conveys the meaning of the Lord. With the presence of general Taishi and the prestige of Huang Taishou, we can certainly resist the Jiangdong soldiers of Jiangxia county. "


    With these words, Deng Zhan took out a letter written by Huang Zu and handed it to Liu Xiu, saying, "Lord, this letter is from Huang Tai Shou to Huang Hu."


    Liu Xiu nodded and sent someone to call Huang Hu.


    "I''ll see you at the end."


    Huang Hu bowed to salute, but there was a touch of worry in his eyes.


    Liu xiudao: "Huzi, the royal guards have found your father. At present, he led his troops to Anlu county and is organizing soldiers to fight against Jiangdong soldiers. You can let go of your worries. "


    Huang Hu surprised: "Lord, is this true?"


    Liu xiudao: "could it be that I can''t cheat you on such things? The news is that Deng zhangang brought it back."


    "Great, great!"


    Huang Hu''s face, showing a brilliant smile. At this time, the worries that haunted Huang Hu''s heart finally left, and he was no longer worried.


    Liu Xiu took out the letter and said, "this is from your father."


    "Thank you, Lord!"


    Huang Hu took the letter and put it in his arms.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "go down and mobilize the soldiers and wait for the order to go out."


    "Yes


    He turned around and stepped back.


    Deng Zhan changed his words and said, "Lord, I saw Pang Jun''s division leave the barracks just now."


    Liu xiudao: "Pang Tong has another task, so you don''t have to worry about his affairs."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan was ordered to turn around and withdraw.


    Towards evening in the afternoon, the news of Zhou Yu''s withdrawal from Chaling county came back. This news is the truth of Huang Gai''s defection. For a time, people who had suspected Huang Gai believed Huang Gai. Huang Hu and shamoko also led 1000 barbarians to follow the army.


    After leaving the camp in you County, the army rushed all the way and soon entered Chaling County. In Chaling County, almost without resistance, he left Chaling County and entered the territory of Ancheng county.


    At this time, Liu Xiu was getting closer to Zhou Yu''s army.


    Seeing that he was about to catch up with him, Liu Xiu was also cruel and ordered to go ahead at full speed. Tens of thousands of troops, mighty pursuit, fierce, straight to the army of Zhou Yu.


    The two sides chased each other and finally arrived near Jiuxu mountain.


    Arriving at Jiuxu mountain, Liu Xiu''s mind is full of memories. Here, he defeated Tai Shici, but this is also the burial place of Liu Pan. I didn''t expect to be here now.


    When Liu Xiu was in the middle army, a smile came up from the corner of his mouth.


    Is this where Zhou Yu started?


    At this time, Huang Gai still followed him. When he came to Jiuxu mountain, his eyes also showed a look of expectation. Zhou Yu used bitter meat tactics, estrangement tactics and luring the enemy to go deep, just to make Liu Xiu relax his vigilance and pursue him.


    Now it''s Jiuxu mountain. It''s time to harvest.

 Chapter 329

    Jiuxu mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is not an easy place to attack.


    At the same time, to withdraw to Yuzhang County, we also need to pass through Jiuxu mountain, especially the road around Jiuxu mountain. Generally speaking, to withdraw to Yuzhang County, we need to surround almost half of Jiuxu mountain.


    Liu Xiu''s soldiers were in urgent need of pursuit, so they went to Yuzhang County along the road at the foot of Jiuxu mountain.


    Before long, all the soldiers at the front had passed through.


    At this time, on the top of Jiuxu mountain.


    To the East, that is the direction of the front Jingzhou soldiers.


    To the south, there are soldiers in Jingzhou and in the middle.


    To the west, it was the position followed by the Jingzhou soldiers.


    By this time, the team was already moving fast.


    Liu Xiu did not follow him any more. Instead, he stayed in the rear and even brought Huang Gai to the rear. At this time, Huang Gai saw Liu Xiu''s unusual behavior and had some doubts in his heart. From you county to Ancheng County, Liu Xiu has always been in the middle army. Now how can he bring him to the army on the tail?


    Weird!


    But now it''s also the place where Huang Gai wants to get away.


    Huang Gai''s face was full of pain. He said in a loud voice: "Liu Jingzhou, my stomach is a little uncomfortable. I''ll find a place to squat first. Well, maybe it''s a bad stomach. "


    General Liu said with a smile, "are you eating a bad stomach?"


    Huang Gai looked like he didn''t understand. He said, "I don''t understand what Liu Jingzhou means."


    Liu Xiu had a smile in the corner of his eyes and said: "old General Huang will stop for a while. Now let''s have a good look. What''s the meaning next?"


    Huang Gai''s heart clapped. What did Liu Xiu find?


    Huang Gai covered his stomach and said, "Liu Jingzhou, is my stomach really uncomfortable?"


    Liu xiudao: "it''s OK, you can pull it in the crotch."


    The expression on Huang Gai''s face was strained, and he said, "I''d better bear it."


    Liu Xiu laughs and doesn''t speak any more. Instead, he looks in the direction of Jiuxu mountain.


    "Boom!"


    Suddenly, in the east of Jiuxu mountain, there was a loud noise.


    Boom


    Then, the sound of dense boulders rolling down came from the east of Jiuxu mountain.


    "Boom!"


    "Boom!"


    Then, in the west of Jiuxu mountain, countless big stones fell down.


    After the big stones in the East and West rolled down, the endless cries of killing immediately rang out on the mountain of Jiuxu mountain. Countless Jiangdong soldiers suddenly rushed down from the top of the mountain.


    With the help of Jiuxu mountain, the soldiers rushed down very fast, even more powerful and fierce. In particular, the first group of rocks rolled down the mountain disrupted the formation of the Jingzhou soldiers, and cut them into three parts like a long snake.


    In the East, South and west of Jiuxu mountain, the soldiers rushed out and killed them.


    For a moment, the war started directly in Jiuxu mountain.


    At the front, the Jingzhou soldiers on the east side of Jiuxu are led by Huang Hu, including 1000 Flying Tiger battalions under Huang Hu and thousands of Jingzhou soldiers. When countless Jiangdong soldiers rushed down the hillside, Huang Hu immediately stopped the soldiers from resisting.


    In the middle, the Jingzhou soldiers in the south of Jiuxu mountain were led by Huang Zhong. The number of troops in this section is relatively small, with only over 3000 soldiers. After the Jiangdong soldiers on the mountain dived down, Huang Zhong also directly prevented the soldiers from resisting.


    The soldiers at the back, the Jingzhou soldiers in the west of Jiuxu mountain, belong to the rear army. Liu Xiu personally took charge of the town, and shamoko led 1000 barbarians, as well as thousands of Jingzhou. When the Jiangdong soldiers on the mountain swooped down, shamoko immediately led his troops to resist.


    Three battlefields, constantly fighting.


    Although Jiangdong soldiers had the advantage of using the stone attack first, they turned the situation around slowly after some fighting.


    On the hillside, Zhou Yu overlooks the war situation at the foot of the mountain.


    Seeing the anxious situation, he put a smile on the corner of his mouth and said: "as expected, Liu Xiu''s elite is not easy to defeat. Unfortunately, it was just the first attack. Next, there''s a wave of attacks. Liu Xiu, under two attacks, one after another and three after another, can your soldiers still guarantee their morale? "


    "Let go of the arrow!"


    Zhou Yu ordered that, in an instant, a party meet and break the air.


    In an instant, on the official road to the east of Jiuxu, in front of Huang Hu, a group of soldiers suddenly killed. The leader was Zhu ran. Zhu ran took the lead and roared, "kill Liu Xiu today, kill him."


    Under Zhu Ran''s command, there were 2000 soldiers, all of them elite.


    As soon as his 2000 elite soldiers joined the battlefield at the foot of the mountain on the east side of Jiuxu, the situation began to reverse in an instant.


    At the same time, on the mountain of Jiuxu mountain.


    Once again, he rushed out of an army, led by Xu Sheng. He also rushed to the front with a steel knife and roared: "brothers, it''s only a few days since we''ve made great achievements. Kill Liu Xiu and make him a marquis. "Behind Xu Sheng, there are also two thousand soldiers.


    This new force joined in, which also made Huang Zhong''s soldiers tired of resisting.


    Liu Xiu''s rear area also killed the army. The leader was pan Zhang. He galloped, holding an iron gun in his hand, pointing to the direction of the Jingzhou soldiers, roaring: "kill, kill Liu Xiu!"


    The second wave of Zhou Yu''s three Route Army came out, and thousands of elite soldiers poured into the battlefield.


    In an instant, the situation has reversed.


    When Liu Xiu saw this scene, his eyes were not afraid, but excited. He looked at Huang Gai and said, "General Huang, is this Zhou Yu''s plan? Is that his last move? "


    Huang Gai''s questions make him feel worse.


    Huang Gai said, "I can''t understand what Liu Jingzhou said. Zhou Yu and I are in such a situation that we don''t understand his intention. "


    Liu Xiu chuckled twice and said: "old General Huang is still crafty now. It''s really despised. Zhou Yu sent you to use bitter meat, and then took the initiative to take out part of the grain, and then took the initiative to withdraw, a little bit to remove my vigilance, a little bit to let me believe you. Then I plan to ambush here. Unfortunately, it''s not so easy to ambush. It should be noted that the mantis will catch the cicada and the Yellow sparrow will be behind


    Huang Gai''s eyes showed a trace of worry and tension.


    The war is still going on, and Liu Xiu is still in no hurry.


    Huang Hu at the front constantly resisted, but his position was to order the soldiers to move closer to Huang Zhong''s direction. Huang Hu had two golden hammers in his hand. No one could defeat him. He led his army to retreat and quickly broke through the defense line of Jiangdong soldiers and joined Huang Zhong''s army. It''s just that after the two men''s soldiers joined up, they were still defeated by Jiangdong soldiers. The morale of the other side was too strong.


    "Huang Zhong, take your life!"


    All of a sudden, Zhu ran roared and rushed to Huang Zhong with a gun.


    Huang Hu is holding the golden hammer in both hands. Standing in front of Huang Zhong, he hears Zhu Ran''s words and rushes out. Roar: "Cape hammer, kill!"


    The golden hammer roared through the air and swept through the air.


    Dang!


    In an instant, the steel knife in Zhu Ran''s hand was smashed out. Zhu Ran''s palm was even more split, and the blood directly flowed out and dyed his palm red.


    One hit!


    Zhu ran was defeated.


    Zhu Ran''s face was startled. He immediately turned his horse''s head and pushed it away. He looked at the yellow tiger''s eyes, but showed a strong fear.


    Huang Zhong said with a sneer, "since you''re here, what else are you going to do?"


    Huang Zhong took out the big yellow bow at his waist, bent the bow to set up an arrow, and put a special iron arrow on the bow string.


    "Yes


    Huang Zhong murmured, and the iron arrow came out.


    "Whew!"


    The iron arrow went straight to Zhu Ran''s back. Zhu ran also heard the voice behind him, and his body was about to escape. But Rao was so slow that the iron arrow hit him on the shoulder.


    "Chaka!"


    The point of the arrow pierced his body, then the bone and his shoulder.


    Zhu Ran''s face was full of horror. He was already frightened.


    It''s terrible!


    Huang Zhong and Huang Hu, one is the enemy of ten thousand people, and no one can fight alone; the other is the marksman, who is able to fight every step of the way. This kind of match is simply difficult to rush up. We can only rely on the sea of people tactics to let the soldiers rush up to besiege and consume the strength of the two.


    After Huang Zhong and Huang Hu met, they joined hands to fight against the Jingzhou soldiers. Under their leadership, although the Jingzhou soldiers were at a disadvantage, they would not be defeated like a mountain.


    In the rear, shamoko led the barbarians and soldiers to resist, but he was a little stretched.


    After all, shamoko was alone.


    When Liu Xiu saw it, he ordered: "beat the drum!"


    "Yes


    Deng Zhan stood beside Liu Xiu and gave the order directly.


    "Dong! Dong


    All of a sudden, the sound of the mighty war drum resounded in the battlefield, hovering over Jiuxu mountain.

 Chapter 330

    The drums rumbled and resounded through the battlefield. This scene attracted the attention of countless soldiers, not only Jingzhou soldiers, but also Jiangdong soldiers.


    "Kill! Kill


    Suddenly, between heaven and earth, there was a loud cry of killing.


    As soon as the voice came out, the battlefield changed in an instant.


    "Our army is coming, kill!"


    Huang Hu roared, and his eyes were full of joy.


    Huang Zhong also yelled: "Zhou Yu is ambushed, sons, kill him. Here comes our reinforcements. " At this moment, Huang Zhong''s eyes are full of fighting spirit and excitement.


    Reinforcements are coming!


    The news was spread on the battlefield.


    After hearing the sound of drums and soldiers shouting to kill, shamoko roared: "our reinforcements have arrived. We are going to kill the enemy and make contributions. It''s just a few days ago. Kill! Kill me


    At the moment, shamoko is completely furious, and his stick of thistle is flying around.


    That look, it is more God kill God, extremely ferocious.


    "Kill


    "Kill


    The orderly and rapid shouts echoed in the air.


    "Zhou Yu, Pang Tong is here. Take his life."


    The soldiers immediately changed their words, one by one, and their voices reached the Jiuxu mountain directly.


    Hearing the sound, Zhou Yu''s face suddenly changed.


    It''s a trick!


    Again!


    Huang Gai goes to Liu Xiu''s barracks and uses a separatist device to let Pang Tong leave the barracks. Zhou Yu knew the news. Moreover, Zhou Yu has been paying attention to Liu Xiu''s movements, but has not seen Liu Xiu divide his troops. When did Liu Xiu divide his troops? How could Pang Tong have seen through his purpose at the beginning and led his army to ambush near Jiuxu mountain.


    At the moment, Zhou Yu''s heart was cold.


    In order to win this time, Zhou Yu put in almost all his troops.


    In this battle, he is going to defeat Liu Xiu in Jiuxu mountain, and then go to you county and Changsha County. I didn''t expect that this is the result now.


    It''s a failure!


    Zhou Yu clenched his fist. He suddenly hated himself.


    If I had known, I would have arranged another plan.


    Unfortunately, Liu Xiu carried out every step according to his plan, which made Zhou Yu take it lightly. In the end, he fell into Liu Xiu''s plan.


    At this time, in the front and back of Jiuxu mountain, a large number of barbarians were killed quickly.


    In fact, some of the barbarians are Han soldiers, but they are also very tough.


    At the beginning, shamoko led 8000 barbarians to Xiangyang with Liu Xiu. In the battle of Xiangyang, shamoko''s 8000 barbarians also suffered great losses. Liu Xiu directly allocated Han soldiers to make up for the shortage of shamoko''s soldiers, and restored the number of 8000 soldiers, who were still led by shamoko.


    After Pang Tong left, he led 7000 barbarians.


    In front of Jiuxu mountain, 4000 barbarians were arranged to fight directly into the eastern battlefield of Jiuxu mountain. In the Western battlefield of Jiuxu mountain, 3000 barbarians were arranged.


    As soon as the two new forces entered, the situation immediately reversed.


    Especially after Huang Zhong and Huang Hu converged, the battlefield became one front and one back. With the addition of the barbarians, the two battlefields changed immediately.


    Liu Xiu''s soldiers are full of momentum, and Zhou Yu''s Jiangdong soldiers are showing signs of declining.


    Liu Xiuyan looked at the reversal of the situation, looked at Huang Gai, and said with a smile: "now, General Huang, do you see it?"


    At this time, Pang Tong had come to Liu Xiushen from the rear. He also looked at Huang Gai, his eyes were full of banter, and said: "Huang Gai, with your ability, you want to alienate me and my Lord. You''re so far behind that you look down on the world. "


    Huang Gai''s heart was like ashes. He didn''t expect to be defeated this time.


    However, Huang Gai said calmly: "I don''t understand what Pang Junshi said. I didn''t take part in this war at all. I couldn''t stand Zhou Yu''s headstrong, so I went to surrender. Now that Zhou Yu is defeated, it''s just for Sun Quan to see what will happen to Zhou Yu. "


    All the time, although Huang Gai''s plan failed, Huang Gai didn''t show his feet, and he didn''t show any sign of really helping Zhou Yu. He just played a bitter trick.


    Liu Xiu chuckled and said: "old General Huang deserves to be a veteran, calm and self-confident. It''s admirable. "


    Huang Gai said, "I dare not compare with old General Huang."


    "Dang! Dang


    On the battlefield, suddenly there was the sound of the gong. Zhou Yu had already descended from Jiuxu mountain, and then, surrounded by soldiers, he made a breakthrough to the east of Jiuxu mountain.


    At the same time, Zhu ran, Xu Sheng and pan Zhang led their own troops to break through quickly.


    Tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers, like the tide, left Jingzhou soldiers and retreated quickly.Pang Tong saw that the situation was one-sided, especially when the soldiers of Jiangdong retreated after they gathered together. He said with a smile on his face, "Lord, now you can order to beat the drum again."


    "Beat the drum!"


    Immediately, Liu Xiu gave the order directly.


    "Dong! Dong! Dong


    "Dong! Dong! Dong


    The drums are beating again.


    Only this time, the drum is more powerful and high pitched than before, and it is full of six drums. As soon as Liutong drum was over, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared on the eastern official road of Jiuxu mountain.


    There are only 500 people in this team.


    It is only at this time that the role of five hundred talents is unparalleled.


    "Da! "Da!"


    The sound of horse''s hooves is like thunder, rumbling in the battlefield.


    Five hundred cavalry quickly killed the fleeing Jiangdong soldiers.


    Huang Gai also heard the sound of galloping horses. He slightly twitched at the corner of his mouth and looked up at Pang Tong and Liu Xiu. At the moment, his heart has been a cold. I thought that Zhou Yu''s plan was a success. However, he did not expect that Liu Xiu would just let Pang Tong leave and then mobilize the army to lay an ambush and wait for Zhou Yu to enter the urn.


    This kind of means is just against the sky.


    At this point, the cover up continued. It took half an hour for Liu Xiu''s troops to withdraw, and half an hour for the horses to withdraw.


    The army drew up, and then quickly stationed in Ancheng County, and then recuperated.


    Barracks, big accounts of the Chinese army.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Zhong with a smile on his face and said, "General Huang, on the way back. I''ve got an idea. I''m going to promote a piece of news. "


    "What''s the news?" Huang Gai asked.


    All of a sudden, Huang Gai had a bad feeling in his heart.


    Liu Xiu said: "I will let people publicize that the reason why this war can be won is because old General Huang defected, took the initiative to inform Zhou Yu of the location of his granary, then killed Zhou Yu all the way, and finally defeated Zhou Yu. I think it will be a good result after this news is spread in Jiangdong. "


    Brush!


    Huang Gai''s face became tense.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were full of resentment and resentment.


    Liu Xiu''s move was too vicious. He went to Liu Xiu''s barracks to surrender. Even though Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and others know the inside story, the people in Jiangdong will believe it. At that time, it will have a huge impact on his family and his descendants.


    Huang Gai finally couldn''t help it. He said in a deep voice, "Liu Xiu, you are so cruel."


    Liu xiudao: "no matter how vicious I am, I can''t compare with you. In order to get me into the trap, I was really beaten by thirty soldiers. Hey, unfortunately, you didn''t make it. If it really makes you successful, then it''s OK. "


    Huang Gai''s anger surged up, so he stood up, took a step, and roared: "Liu Xiu, go to die!"


    He stormed through the gate in anger, but as soon as he took two steps, Deng Zhan had already rushed out in an arrow stride. His sword came out of the sheath, and one of them penetrated Huang Gai''s heart.


    On the spot, Huang Gai was killed directly.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "Deng Zhan, buy a coffin immediately, and then close the yellow lid. On the top of the coffin, he pasted the words accompanying Huang Gai and folding soldiers, and sent them to Zhou Yu overnight. "


    "No!"


    When Deng Zhan heard the speech, he also showed a smile on his face.

 Chapter 331

    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Zhong and said, "Han Sheng, Zhou Yu is defeated. Now is a good chance to enter Yuzhang county. When you were stationed in Yichun County, you could stay in Changsha and Pingdi county. Now, we need to wipe out yuzhangjun as soon as possible. "


    "No!"


    Huang Zhong''s fighting spirit is high.


    Before that, I always took a defensive attitude because I was worried that the overall situation would be affected.


    Now that Zhou Yu is defeated, Huang Zhong has no scruples.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Hu and Sha Moke and said, "mobilize the flying tiger camp and the barbarians. Next, we will go north to Jiangxia county to solve the problem of the disabled soldiers in Jiangxia county."


    "No!"


    Huang Hu and shamoko are very excited.


    After a day''s rest in Ancheng County, Liu Xiu led his soldiers north to Jiangxia county.


    At this time, Zhou Yu had already returned to Yichun county.


    In this war, Zhou Yu was defeated at the expense of his troops. His heart was broken. In the study, Zhou Yu had been sitting quietly, not thinking about food and tea, and had no appetite at all. He has been defeated by Liu Xiu many times. In this war, he is still defeated again. The pressure in his heart can be imagined.


    "Alas..."


    Zhou Yu sighed and said, "Bo Fu, what should I do now?"


    Bofu, the character of sun CE.


    During the period of sun CE, Zhou Yu and sun CE joined hands to fight. They were able to overcome the attack and win the battle. They had a good heart and could trust each other. But for Sun Quan, Zhou Yu couldn''t see through Sun Quan''s ideas, because Sun Quan''s mind was deeper and it was hard to figure out Sun Quan''s ideas. This time, Zhou Yu was defeated at the expense of his troops. He was not afraid of being investigated for responsibility, but he had to give Sun Quan an account after all.


    "I have to resign."


    In Zhou Yu''s heart, such an idea suddenly appeared.


    He was defeated by Liu Xiu in succession. He felt as if there was a wall standing in front of him. No matter what he did, he could not cross the wall. He was extremely depressed.


    When he had an idea, Zhou Yu began to write a letter.


    He almost wrote a few words to pause, there is no smooth feeling.


    He explained the reasons for his defeat in this war, and also made it clear that nearly ten thousand soldiers were lost in this war. He took all the responsibility on himself, and then asked to resign. After writing, Zhou Yu was exhausted. He read it again, checked it correctly, sealed the letter, and then called for a soldier, who was immediately sent to Wuxian.


    Sitting in the study, Zhou Yu''s brain is empty.


    Brain, is a blank.


    "Dong! Dong


    There was a knock on the door, and all of a sudden there was a sound outside the room.


    Zhou Yu said feebly, "who is that?"


    Zhu ran said, "it''s me, Dudu!"


    Zhou Yu still didn''t open the door and asked, "what''s the matter?"


    Zhu ran looked respectful and said: "outside the gate of the city, Jingzhou soldiers carried a coffin and then retreated. I don''t know how to deal with it, so I''m here to ask the governor. "


    After hearing the speech, Zhou Yu stood up.


    Huang Gai!


    At this time, there was only Huang Gai in Zhou Yu''s mind.


    Zhou Yu staggered to open the door, then said directly: "go, follow me out of the city."


    "No!"


    Zhu ran followed Zhou Yu and quickly came out of the city.


    At this time, pan Zhang, Xu Sheng, Ling Tong and others all came to the gate with them. Everyone stood beside the coffin, their eyes on the lid.


    On the lid of the coffin, there was a piece of paper with seven big characters on it.


    Lose the yellow cap and lose the soldiers!


    Seven words came into Zhou Yu''s eyes. Zhou Yu opened his eyes and clenched his fist. His chest was even more ups and downs, and he was very upset by the seven words on the coffin lid.


    Zhou Yu endured the pain in his heart and said, "open the coffin!"


    The crowd forced, and then opened the lid of the coffin.


    In the middle of the coffin, Huang Gai''s face was stable, and he was dressed in splendid clothes. But the corpse was cold and stiff, without any breath.


    "General Huang, it''s the governor who hurt you."


    Seeing this, Zhou Yu suddenly choked.


    "If it were not for the incompetence of the governor, you would not have died in this war."


    "If the governor had not underestimated Liu Xiu, it would not have been so."


    "It''s all the governor''s fault."


    "It''s the governor who missed you."


    Zhou Yu lost his voice and choked. His eyes were full of tears. Tears came from Zhou Yu''s eyes and splashed on the coffin.


    Zhu ran advised: "Dudu, the bitter meat plan was put forward by General Huang, and I can''t blame you. What''s more, Liu Xiu is really cunning in this war. I didn''t expect that he had already understood our plan. "


    Zhou Yu chuckled twice and said, "yes, Liu Xiu has already understood.""Lose the yellow cap and lose the soldiers again!"


    "Image! That''s right


    Zhou Yu''s eyes were full of sadness.


    His chest is even more ups and downs, a knot of gas in the chest diffuse. He grabs the coffin with both hands and stares at the yellow lid lying in the coffin. Suddenly, his mouth is sweet and his painstaking efforts surge up.


    "Poof!"


    Zhou Yu raised his head to heaven and vomited blood, which made his spirit wither.


    As soon as his eyes closed, he fell back.


    "Dudu, Dudu!"


    "Come on, take Dudu back."


    Zhu ran, pan Zhang and others were flustered and took the coffin and Zhou Yu back to the county seat. The coffin was not buried for the time being, and all the people gathered in Zhou Yu''s yard.


    After the doctor made a diagnosis and treatment, he said that Zhou Yu was depressed in his heart, which led to hematemesis.


    It''s just that Zhou Yu hasn''t woken up yet.


    On the faces of all the people, they were extremely anxious and worried.


    Zhu ran was also injured, and his face was a little pale. Zhu ran looked at Pan Zhang and others and asked, "this battle failed. Most governors also vomit blood. What shall we do next?"


    Pan Zhang also had no sense of propriety and said, "wait until the governor of Dadu wakes up."


    Although Xu Sheng had some ideas in his mind, he also agreed: "I also agree with Pan Zhang''s suggestion. Wait a little longer. After the governor of Dadu wakes up, we can persuade him to cheer up."


    "Wake up, Dadu wake up."


    Suddenly, in the room, came the voice of the attendant.


    The crowd rushed into the room and sat down around the bed.


    Zhu ran asked, "governor, how do you feel now?"


    Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "no harm!"


    Pan Zhang said: "Dudu, if this battle fails, Jingzhou army will certainly take advantage of the situation to attack Yuzhang county. Dudu, you must take good care of yourself, and then command the army to resist the Jingzhou army. If you don''t sit down, everyone will be very nervous. "


    Xu Sheng also said: "Dudu, if we are defeated in this battle, it does not mean that we are really defeated. As long as there is still a chance, we must fight again. If you give up now, it must be Liu Xiu who laughs. You must take care of yourself, governor


    Zhou Yu sighed and said, "I''ve written to my Lord and asked him to resign. Now, I will temporarily take over the post of the governor, and then wait for the Lord to appoint a new governor to take charge of the army. I led more than 10000 soldiers to the battle, but I was defeated at the expense of my troops. I also lost old General Huang. It''s unforgivable. "


    Zhu ran said, "governor, please cheer up. You are the pillar of Jiangdong. If you lose your fighting spirit, what about the soldiers in the army? "


    However, Zhou Yu was very disappointed. He waved his hand and said, "OK, I know. Let''s all go down. "


    They had to persuade again, but Zhou Yu had closed his eyes.


    But they had to step back.


    Creak!


    After the door closed, Zhou Yu opened his eyes.


    Two drops of tears fell from the corner of his eyes. Zhou Yu lay on the bed and clenched his fist. Huang Gai''s resolute face was still hovering in his mind.


    However, now huanggai is dead, yin and yang are separated, and there is no time to meet again.


    He is responsible for all this.


    Zhou Yu sighed and lay on the bed, depressed and speechless.

 Chapter 332

    In a few days, Zhou Yu had been completely emaciated and depressed. At this time, Huang Zhong has begun to deploy troops, ready to fight in Yuzhang County, for a time, the whole Yuzhang county has fallen into a tense atmosphere.


    It''s a pity that Zhou Yu is still wilting and has no spirit at all.


    On that day, after breakfast, Zhou Yu went back to his room and lay down on his bed.


    About midnight, outside the room, there was a knock on the door.


    Zhou Yu woke up and said, "who is that?"


    "Dudu, I''m Zhu ran."


    Zhu Ran''s voice sounded outside the room.


    Zhou Yu turned his back to the door and said impatiently, "I don''t want you to disturb me. You''ve arranged everything, right? I want to sleep. Don''t bother me


    Zhu ran said, "Dudu, the Lord has arrived and is waiting for you in the hall."


    Zhou Yu''s body froze.


    Here comes Sun Quan!


    The news was like a clear thunder, which suddenly rang out in Zhou Yu''s mind.


    In Zhou Yu''s heart, he still didn''t know how to face Sun Quan.


    Now, Sun Quan has come on his own initiative.


    Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said, "I know. I''ll come later." He quickly put on his clothes and went straight to the hall. At this time, Zhou Yu''s face was in a mess of stubble, his hair had lost its luster, and his whole life was dark. That dress is just like a vagrant beggar.


    Especially that pair of eyes, is lost in the past pride and bright, become dim.


    The air and temperament of self-confidence disappeared.


    At this time, Zhou Yu was a slovenly person.


    Zhou Yu went to the door of the hall and reached for the hair falling from his forehead. However, he stopped for a moment and then stepped into the hall.


    Right above, Sun Quan sat upright.


    Sun Quan wore a Jinxian crown, a black robe, a jade belt around his waist, a bench and boots, and sat upright. He slightly narrowed his eyes, which were shining as if he could see through people''s heart.


    Sun Quan''s aura, powerful, sitting on top, is like a monarch who dominates everything.


    On the left and right sides of the hall sat Zhu ran, Xu Sheng, pan Zhang, Ling Tong and other military generals, all of whom were sitting upright.


    This battle, let Zhou Yu cold can''t help but fight a spirit.


    Zhou Yu went to the center of the hall, folded his hands, arched his hands and said, "Zhou Yu, meet the Lord?"


    Sun Quan sat on the top, but he did not say a word and let Zhou Yu bow. After a long time, Sun Quan said, "who are you? Do you know me? "


    In a word, Zhou Yu''s body was stiff and his cheek was embarrassed.


    Once again, Zhou Yu said, "Lord..."


    Sun Quan directly interrupted Zhou Yu and asked again, "who are you? Do you know me? "


    Two questions, or ask.


    The eyes of all the generals in the Hall fell on Zhou Yu. There was a look of expectation in every one''s eyes. I hope Zhou Yu can recover and cheer up.


    Zhou Yu said, "I am Zhou Yu


    Sun Quan''s face was serious, and he even had a look of killing. He said, "Oh, you are Zhou Yu. What evidence do you have? Is Zhou Yu, whom I know, a man with disordered stubble and hair, disheveled clothes and a beggar like appearance? "


    Zhou Yu''s face was even more embarrassed when he listened to the words.


    Sun Quan was merciless and continued: "Zhou Yu, whom I know, is fighting against the rise and fall of Jiangdong. What about you? You can''t even carry a piece of hair on your shoulders. Can you still carry the more important Jiangdong


    "Zhou Yu, whom I met, is a high spirited, confident and calm man. He is a good gentleman and a man of great ambition who never changes his appearance when Mount Tai collapses. How about you? You look like a loser, as if your parents are dead. How can you have a little bit of Jiangdong meizhoulang''s temperament? "


    "Zhou Yu, whom I know, is not arrogant in victory but not discouraged in defeat. He can laugh at the ups and downs and chat about the blooming and falling of flowers. His bearing is heartbreaking. what about you? A pair of heart such as corns, your dim sum chest, afraid is this Hou scolds you a few words, will jump mountain jump river to commit suicide


    "Zhou Yu, whom I know, is the governor of Jiangdong. His momentum can swallow the whole world, his spirit can cover the whole world, and his wisdom is like a mountain and a sea. what about you? A down and out look, how can you have the momentum of a governor? "


    Sun Quan''s tone is very tricky, but also directly into Zhou Yu''s heart.


    There''s no comfort, just beating.


    Sun Quan, a young and mature man, has been in charge of Jiangdong for many years. He has already found out the character of his ministers, and he knows more about the proud people like Zhou Yu. It''s useless to comfort him. Instead, it''s better to beat and stimulate him.


    Only in this way can Zhou Yu gradually recover his fighting spirit.


    The army is defeated!


    Huang Gai was killed!


    Isn''t Sun Quan upset? Heartache!


    Isn''t Sun Quan uncomfortable? Sorry!Is Sun Quan not discouraged? Be discouraged!


    However, Sun Quan is the leader of Jiangdong, carrying the stability of the whole Jiangdong on his shoulders. If even he, the leader of Jiangdong, has lost his sense of propriety and made a mess of his own, then Jiangdong will not be saved. He is the leader of Jiangdong. His mind must be able to tolerate anything that ordinary people can''t.


    At present, the situation in Jiangdong is critical. Apart from Zhou Yu, Sun Quan can''t find anyone who can lead the army.


    Only Zhou Yu!


    So Sun Quan came to Yichun County in person.


    Plop!


    With a crash, Zhou Yu knelt down directly on the ground, knocked on the ground with his head, and choked silently.


    A cavity in the heart of the knot, with the passage of tears.


    Sun Quan stares at Zhou Yu and sighs in his heart. He knows the pressure Zhou Yu is under, but at this juncture, he can''t give Zhou Yu time to grieve for spring and hurt for autumn.


    Sun Quan stares at Zhou Yu and asks, "I''m Zhou Gongjin, governor of Jiangdong. I''m eight feet tall. I''m on the top of the sky. I''m on the bottom of the earth. I''m rather bent than bent. I can swallow the world. When did I kneel down and cry? When my brother died, you never shed a tear. Is it true that a little Liu Xiu is worth your crying? "


    In a word, Zhou Yu stopped crying, looked up at Sun Quan, and said nothing.


    Sun Quan continued: "I have never been afraid of failure. In that year, my father also went to Changsha alone, where he laid a solid foundation. Later, he went to Jiangdong and laid a solid foundation. When his father died in the war, his elder brother inherited his foundation, but he was orphaned and widowed, so he was hard to defend himself. So his elder brother had to submit himself to Yuan Shu. Finally, he took the chance to pass on the imperial seal and led the army to Jiangdong again to lay his foundation. "


    "Now, the strength of Jiangdong is many times better than that of that year? The present strength can afford your failure. If you fail, you will have your own support and your own responsibility. "


    Sun Quanlang said: "when you are in Jiangdong, what you have to do is to be energetic, shoulder the heavy responsibility of Jiangdong, shoulder the heavy trust of countless dead comrades, and fight again in Jingzhou."


    Zhou Yu''s heart was already full of sincerity. He kowtowed and said, "thank you for your humble duty!"


    "Go down. I don''t want to see Zhou Yu I don''t know."


    As soon as Sun Quan''s big sleeve brushed, Zhou Yu took a deep breath, stood up, turned around and went out.


    After Zhou Yu left the hall, the generals in the hall looked at Sun Quan with admiration.


    Zhu ran arched his hand and said, "Lord, you still have a way. The governor of Dadu is decadent for several days. As soon as you arrive in Yichun County, you will directly recover the governor of Dadu. "


    Xu Sheng said, "I know the Lord has a way."


    Pan Zhang said with a smile: "my Lord''s words are really enlightening."


    Sun Quan listened to the praise words one by one, with a faint smile on his face. He waved his hand and said, "most governor is arrogant, he doesn''t need comfort. It takes skill to persuade him. "


    When they heard the words, they all nodded.


    About a quarter of an hour later, outside the hall, there was a sound of footwork.


    Then, a dignified, sword browed, distinguished figure stepped into the hall. He wore a silk scarf on his head and a white robe. He was a man of extraordinary stature.


    Standing in the hall, Zhou Yu arched his hand and said, "humble Zhou Yu, meet the Lord."


    Sun Quan saw Zhou Yu and raised his sword eyebrows. His tense face finally showed a bright smile. What Jiangdong needs is such a governor.

 Chapter 333

    Liu Xiu led the flying tiger camp and the barbarians all the way up and went straight into Jiangxia county.


    Changsha County and Jiangxia county are bordered by Xiajun County, while Jiangxia county is Shaxian County. After Liu Xiu arrived in Shaxian County, he directly stationed troops in Shaxian County. Jiangdong soldiers had conquered Shaxian County, but as soon as Liu Xiu''s flag appeared, the people and soldiers in Shaxian County immediately resisted, opened the gate and directly welcomed Liu Xiu into the city.


    Liu Xiu temporarily took over the military power of Shaxian County, and then met with officials in the county government.


    The magistrate of Shaxian County was named Lu Shou. After Jiangdong soldiers killed him, Lu Shou could not resist. After fighting for half a day, he finally chose to surrender. Jiang Dongbing was not in a dilemma. He just supplied food and continued to March.


    In the hall, the guest and host are seated.


    Liu Xiu asked, "magistrate Lu, let''s talk about the current situation."


    "No!"


    "Now, the soldiers in Gongjiang county have been occupied," he said. However, Jiang Dongbing did not garrison troops in every city, but left a part of garrison troops in Xiling county. "


    "Cheng Pu, Lu Meng, Han Dang and Gan Ning are the leaders of this army. There are ten thousand elites under the command of four people. As they continue to advance, they will also recruit some of Jiang Xia''s elite and add them to the army. When they arrived at the county seat, they had selected 200 elite soldiers and left. "


    "At present, Cheng Pu led his army to Anlu county. Taishou was stationed in Anlu County, and taishici led an army to harass Jiangdong soldiers. Now, the occupation is still deadlocked in Anlu county. "


    Lu Shou looked serious and said: "originally, the governor of the prefecture didn''t come. He was still worried about the situation in Anlu county. Now that Zhou Mu is here, Anlu county will certainly have no problem. "


    After listening, Liu Xiu understood the situation.


    At this time, Huang Hu can''t wait to go to Anlu county. Huang Hu''s eyes were sharp, and he said: "Lord, let''s go to Anlu County, kill Cheng Pu, and defeat Jiangdong soldiers."


    Shamoko also said: "Lord, send troops."


    But Pang Tong shook his head and said, "Lord, I don''t think so."


    "Ah


    Huang Hu and shamoko exclaimed at the same time.


    In their eyes, they were all surprised. They didn''t understand why Pang Tong did it? Isn''t it good to go to Anlu county to attack Jiangdong soldiers?


    Lu Shou is also quite curious, asked: "Pang Jun division, why not send troops?"


    Pang Tong said: "just now, the magistrate of Lu county has said that the counties of Jiangxia were temporarily captured by Cheng Pu, Lu Meng and others, but they did not leave a large number of garrisons. Not only that, they also recruited soldiers to garrison the cities."


    "It means that they are not strong enough to divide their forces."


    "Of all the counties, only Xiling county has a certain garrison."


    "Under such circumstances, we can divide our forces to take the counties in the east of Jiangxia county and isolate Cheng Pu''s army. Moreover, such a move should be done with great publicity. "


    Pang Tong said with a smile: "once the news reaches Cheng Pu''s army, it will certainly cause the morale of Jiangdong soldiers to be turbulent. Once the Jiangdong soldiers are unstable, they will be trapped in Jiangxia county. At that time, as long as the counties resist, Cheng Pu will be a turtle in a jar. "


    After saying that, Huang Hu and shamoko listened and nodded yes.


    Such a strategy is indeed more appropriate than direct attack.


    In particular, Liu Xiu is now sitting in Zhenjiang Xiajun in person. When the county magistrate of each county is attached to him, he must be fighting hard and trying to show himself in front of Liu Xiu. In this case, Cheng Pu''s army will encounter great resistance if they want to attack Jiangxia county. At that time, it will be difficult to do anything.


    Liu Xiu also agreed with Pang Tong''s strategy, saying: "Shiyuan, it''s a good strategy to recover the counties in the east of Jiangxia County, but Anlu county is facing the attack of Cheng Pu''s ten thousand elite, so it must be under great pressure. I''ll give shamoko and 8000 barbarians to your command. Huang Hu and I will lead 1000 soldiers of flying tiger battalion to Anlu county. The elite of Feihu camp and taishici can at least alleviate the situation in Anlu county. "


    Pang Tong thought about it and said, "when you go to Anlu County, please pay attention to your safety."


    "Don''t worry!"


    Liu Xiu nodded, then added food and grass, and left Anlu county with the flying tiger camp led by Huang Hu.


    ¡­¡­


    Anlu County, the roar is endless.


    Outside the city, a catapult, as well as siege vehicles, constantly hit the walls of Anlu county.


    Countless Jiangdong soldiers are going to kill the city quickly.


    The cry of killing is heard all the time.


    The fighting is extremely fierce.


    This is the fourth day of huangzu''s garrison in Anlu county. For four consecutive days, huangzu has been quite tired. He stood on the tower, carrying a steel knife, constantly directing the soldiers to resist. Zhang Shuo and Chen are also stationed in the corner of the tower, both covered with blood and exhausted.


    Besides, Tarshis was also on the tower.


    Originally, taishici wanted to attack by fighting, but Cheng Pu led his troops to Anlu County, and Huang Zu stuck to Anlu county. In desperation, Tai Shici also led the soldiers into the county.As a matter of fact, it is precisely because of taishici''s troops that he has been able to persist until now.


    No matter Huang Zu or Tai Shici, they are already exhausted.


    Huang Zu looked at Tai Shici with a worried look on his face and said, "general Tai Shi, I''m afraid Anlu county can''t keep it." He thought of Liu Xiu''s encouragement before, but now, he has really mobilized all the forces, including a part of the people in the city, Huang Zu has mobilized. It''s not easy to stick to it until now.


    Taishici said: "don''t be sad, marshal Huang. He has been stationed for four days in a row. Jiang Dongbing has also been killed and injured heavily. At least more than 1000 people have been killed and injured, even greater losses. Under such circumstances, if we stick to it for one more day, it will be easier for us to defeat Jiang Dongbing. If you really can''t keep it, retreat again. "


    Huang Zu nodded and continued to command the soldiers to fight.


    "Boom! Boom


    Under the tower, the siege vehicles kept hitting the gate.


    Big stones kept hitting the wall, so that the wall trembled slightly.


    "Chaka! Click


    Suddenly, the city building of Anlu County collapsed.


    This scene is to attack the Jiangdong soldiers crazy, a piece of rock constantly hit in the collapse place. Soon, the gap continued to expand and collapse. Countless Jiangdong soldiers have rushed to the collapsed place quickly.


    With a steel knife in his hand, LV Meng roared: "today is the day to break the city, kill it!"


    Ganning is also murderous, roaring: "capture huangzu alive, kill!"


    The cry of killing is heard all the time.


    Countless Jiangdong soldiers rushed to the city like tides.


    At this time, Huang Zu could only sigh. He quickly called Zhang Shuo, Chen Jiu and Tai Shici together and said, "Anlu county can''t stand it any more. We are ready to retreat."


    "Look, my Lord


    Suddenly, Zhang Shuo''s eyes fell on the distance outside the city.


    Huang Zu was puzzled. Looking up, he saw an army suddenly appeared in the rear of the Jiangdong army outside the city.


    "Flying Tiger camp, kill!"


    All of a sudden, the powerful roar sounded in the rear of the Jiangdong army.


    The roaring footsteps rushed into the army like a sharp knife.


    This scene is deeply imprinted in Huang Zu''s eyes. Huang Zu clenched his fist and roared: "here comes the flying tiger camp. It''s tiger. It''s the flying tiger camp led by tiger. The tiger is here, so is the Lord. "


    Huang Zu''s heart, a excited up, very excited.


    Tess clenched his fist, and a bright smile appeared on his face.


    Zhang Shuo said, "my Lord, order a counterattack."


    Chen also said: "the governor of Zhou Mu is here, we will win."


    Huang Zu nodded, his eyes sharp as a knife, but also high morale, he roared: "drum, open the gate, kill!"


    "No!"


    Zhang Shuo was ordered to go down immediately.


    "Dong! Dong


    All of a sudden, the sound of the mighty war drum sounded in the city.


    "Reinforcements are coming, kill!"


    "Reinforcements are coming, kill!"


    The shouts came from the air of Jingzhou soldiers in the city. The rest of the soldiers were heartened when they heard the news.


    Creak!


    The heavy gate opened, and Huang Zu, Zhang Shuo, Chen Jiu and Tai Shici led the soldiers and killed them directly. The Jiangdong soldiers outside the city saw that the city gate was opened. They wanted to rush up, but the Jingzhou soldiers killed were so fierce that they broke the attack of Jiangdong soldiers and pushed forward quickly.

 Chapter 334

    In the rear of the middle army of the Jiangdong army, Huang Hu, holding a drum beating Weng''s golden hammer, galloped his horse and charged quickly.


    "Flying Tiger camp, kill!"


    The golden hammer of Huang Hu''s drum beating Weng swung up and fell down directly.


    In the face of the dense Jiangdong soldiers, he didn''t use any moves at all. He just waved the golden hammer at will. As long as it''s the place where the drum beating man''s golden hammer has swept, it''s a mess, blood flying everywhere.


    At the moment, the yellow tiger is like a killing God. God blocks killing God, and no one can stop it.


    After Huang Hu, the flying tiger camp is even more proud and valiant, with the intention of killing each other boiling. Jiang Dongbing was shocked by his fierce momentum.


    "Kill


    Huang Hu roared. He was the center of the Jiangdong army.


    The whole camp of Jiangdong soldiers was completely disrupted.


    Liu Xiu followed the flying tiger camp in his spare time. He waved the Zhenshan sword in his hand and stabbed out a few sword flowers. When the sword passed by, all the Jiangdong soldiers died.


    At the same time, Liu Xiu also pays attention to the change of the situation.


    Seeing Anlu county directly open the city gate and kill him, Liu Xiu also has a smile on his face.


    The timing is very good.


    On the battlefield, there has been a situation of sandwiched attack, especially after the war between Jiangdong soldiers and Huang Zu''s soldiers, Liu Xiu and Huang Hu led their troops to attack suddenly, which interrupted the rhythm of Jiangdong soldiers. This time point is also very appropriate.


    This battle, no suspense!


    In Liu Xiu''s mind, he had already made a conclusion.


    Cheng Pu sits in the middle army of Jiangdong soldiers. When he finds the flying tiger soldiers suddenly appearing behind him, he sighs. At this critical time, Liu Xiu actually killed him, which made him very angry. If Liu Xiu was a quarter of an hour late, or even half an hour late, and the soldiers from the east of the river completely invaded the city, the situation would be different. But now the result is too disappointing.


    In particular, the emergence of Liu Xiu has greatly increased the morale of the garrison in Anlu County, and the morale of the fallen army has risen. Such an army is even more difficult.


    "Just, just!"


    With a sigh in his heart, Cheng Pu ordered, "Mingjin, withdraw."


    "Dang! Dang


    The percussion of gongs is constantly ringing on the battlefield.


    After this sound spread all over the battlefield, the soldiers of Jiangdong who were attacking the city were ordered to retreat like a tide. Lu Meng, Gan Ning and others are also helpless expression, can only quickly retreat.


    Cheng Pu led the soldiers to avoid the flying tiger camp, and then quickly retreated.


    Liu Xiu did not order the pursuit, but quickly joined the army under Huang Zu, and then the whole army returned to the city.


    After counting the battlefield, the party returned to the county government.


    In the hall, Liu xiugao sat on the throne and asked, "Huang Taishou, tell me about the current situation."


    Huang Zu replied: "Lord, the garrison in Anlu county does not count the soldiers under general Taishi. Less than 2000 soldiers. After several wars, there were only 600 soldiers left under general Taishi. Generally speaking, the garrison in Anlu county is only about 3000. "


    "Plop!"


    At this point, Huang Zu knelt down and said: "the lower official belittled the enemy''s trade, not only failed to conquer Yuzhang County, but also lost Chaisang, which led to the loss of tens of thousands of troops in Jiangxia county. Please surrender."


    Liu Xiu looked serious and said in a deep voice: "you really made a big mistake when Jiangxia county was lost. But I think that your insistence on defending Anlu county has delayed the progress of Jiang Dongbing''s invasion. For the time being, I will let you commit crimes and make contributions. Before the big mistake, after defeating Cheng Pu, again and liquidation


    "Thank you, Lord!"


    Huang Zu''s heart, finally relieved.


    However, Huang Zu''s heart is sigh, this time lost Jiangxia County, can be regarded as lost face.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "get up!"


    "No!"


    Huang Zu got up and sat down.


    What do you think of this battle? What do you think of the coming war? "


    Taishici said: "as for Cheng Pu and his Jiangdong soldiers, the general thinks that this army is not elite, but under Cheng Pu''s command, it is quite organized."


    "First, from the perspective of fighting, the combat effectiveness of a single soldier is not as good as that of Zhou Yu''s soldiers."


    "Second, Cheng Pu manages the army, is mature and prudent, and always strives for stability. The army under his command is all under one county, and there is no slightest contempt for the enemy, no slightest flexibility. "


    "Third, to deal with Cheng Pu, I think that maybe we can take a side attack instead of fighting head-on. Because although the soldiers under Cheng Pu''s command are not elite, they are at least a brave army in Cheng Pu''s hands. "


    Taishici continued: "the last general also observed Cheng Pu''s situation. After he conquered one county by one, he drained the people to supplement his troops and let the later move forward step by step. In order to avoid too much loss of troops, he hardly left any troops behind. Therefore, I think we can take the edge of the sword and send the elite to take out Cheng Pu''s back road. "With a smile in his eyes, Liu Xiu said, "well said, the current strategy is exactly this one. At present, Pang Tong has led 8000 barbarians stationed in Shaxian County, and then began to attack the counties in the east of Jiangxia county. "


    Tai Shici said: "my Lord is wise!"


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Zu and said, "next, you immediately send someone for a walk. It''s said that Pang Tong has begun to attack Jiangxia county and even Xiling county."


    "No!"


    Huang Zu was ordered to make arrangements immediately.


    After everything was arranged properly, Liu Xiu dismissed them.


    Huang Hu has been away from home for a long time, and he has not seen Huang Zu for a long time. Naturally, he went to find Huang Zu. Liu Xiu alone called Tai Shici to his study.


    Liu xiudao said: "Ziyi, originally I asked you to take part in the war, to harass you and to avoid fighting with Jiangdong soldiers. I didn''t expect that you finally took part in the war with Jiangdong. I didn''t think about it well. "


    "Thank you very much," said Tai Shici


    After a pause, Tai Shici said: "in fact, I don''t know how to face Jiangdong''s soldiers before the end of the war. But now, my heart has been used to it. Especially when the family members have arrived in Xiangyang, there will be no worries at the end. In addition, my Lord, you should pay attention to the final general, and the final general must do his best. Now that there''s war, I don''t think it''s anything. "


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he had a smile on his face.


    If taishici could think that way, it would be the best. Then Liu Xiu''s arrangement for taishici would be easier.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said in a deep voice: "after the recovery of Jiangxia this time, I intend to release you as an official and work in Jiangxia."


    Tai Shici said, "what position do you hold?"


    After all, he was also in Jingzhou for the first time.


    Liu Xiu said slowly: "Jiangxia, as a place directly bordering Jiangdong, is also an important waterway. Therefore, I''m sure you will set up the Fourth Army, set up a camp in Qichun County, and you will be in charge of the waterway two armies. "


    Tai Shici frowned and said, "does the establishment of the Fourth Army mean that the military power of Huang Taishou will be weakened?"


    Liu xiudao said: "this is necessary. With the Fourth Battalion in Jiangxia, the military power in the hands of Huang Zu must be weakened. Otherwise, what am I going to do with setting up a fourth army alone? "


    After careful consideration, Tai Shici said, "Lord, as for the Fourth Army, the last general is naturally willing to serve. However, it will be hoped that the situation of the two armies working together on the waterway will slow down. First, it would be uncomfortable for him to take away all the military power directly. Second, he would not be familiar with the naval operations. Therefore, the general suggested that Huang Taishou be in charge of the water army and I be in charge of the army for the time being. When the general gets familiar with the water army, it''s not too late to take over the two armies. "


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he sighed in his heart that taishici was still too soft. Now taking over the water army is because Huang Zu lost Jiangxia county. It''s not bad to punish Huang again. If we do not take over the water army now, it will not be easy to deprive Huang Zu of the military power to take over the water army in the future.


    In Liu Xiu''s heart, he thought about the solution.


    A moment later, Liu Xiu had an idea in his mind and said, "yes, just follow your advice."


    Taishici was also quite good at marching and fighting.


    Liu Xiu could only agree with Tai Shici''s proposal. As for Huang Zu, he would set up a separate water army in the future, let Huang Zu or others take charge, and then take the post of Jiang Xia''s Taishou. It is impossible for Liu Xiu to leave too much power in Huang Zu''s hands, which is not in line with Liu Xiu''s plan and arrangement.

 Chapter 335

    Jiang Dongbing, barracks.


    Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Ling Tong and others are all sitting in the big tent.


    At this time, people''s faces were quite serious.


    Cheng Pu looked serious and said, "Liu Xiu''s army suddenly appeared in Jiangxia county. According to the previous news, Liu Xiu went to Changsha County. But now Liu Xiu is here, which means that there may be a situation in the war in the south. "


    Ling Tong said: "you mean, most of the governors are defeated."


    Cheng Pu took a deep breath and said, "don''t rule out this possibility!"


    Ling Tong frowned, and the look in his eyes became dignified.


    In this way, the situation is serious.


    Han Dang said: "demou, you don''t want to scare everyone with your crow''s mouth until you have heard from the governor for the time being. Liu Xiu came here suddenly today, which disturbed the rhythm of our attack on Anlu county. But you didn''t find it. Liu Xiu''s troops are not many, and there are only more than a thousand. "


    "Such a force will certainly not be able to defend Anlu county. In particular, the county seat of Anlu county has now been broken down. Once we enter the city, we will surely win. If we can capture Liu Xiu alive, it will be even more perfect. "


    Cheng Pu rolled his eyes and said, "you really think Liu Xiu is so easy to catch. Hum, the 1000 Flying Tiger Battalion soldiers he brought with him are led by Huang Hu. That''s a killing God. It''s hard to deal with."


    Ling Tong said: "to kill Huang Hu, we can only rely on the sea of people tactics, or let him fall into the trap."


    Cheng Pu brushed his sleeve and said, "it''s unrealistic to kill Huang Hu. Now, let''s discuss how to win Anlu county quickly, and we need to expand the results. "


    After Liu Xiu arrived, Cheng Pu''s heart was already heavy and nervous.


    You know, Liu Xiu is not easy.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a sentinel came in in a hurry and reported: "general Cheng, there is a letter from Changsha County."


    Cheng Pu felt nervous, took the letter and quickly opened it. He looked at ten lines at a glance and quickly scanned one side. His face was tense, and his look in his eyes was even more incredible. He murmured: "the governor of Dadu was defeated. He was defeated at the expense of his troops. Lao Huang was also killed by Liu Xiu."


    "Ah


    In Han Dang''s eyes, he lost his look.


    At the beginning, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and Zu Mao followed Sun Jian. Among the four, Sun Jian was trapped when he attacked Dong Zhuo at hulaoguan. Zu Mao put on Sun Jian''s clothes and hat, then disguised himself as Sun Jian and let him escape. But Zu Mao died in the battle.


    Since then, only three of the four have remained.


    Now, Huang Gai is dead. Only Han Dang and Cheng Pu are left. Han Dang''s mood can be imagined.


    Han Dang stood up and said, "revenge, I want revenge, I want to kill Liu Xiu. De Mou, send troops immediately and attack Anlu county. I will kill Liu Xiu and avenge Lao Huang. "


    At the moment, Han Dang is extremely excited, and his heart is full of grief.


    Cheng Pu said, "sit down!"


    Han Dang glared at Cheng Pu and said, "old Huang is dead, and old brother is one less. How do you want me to sit down?"


    Cheng Pu said, "you''re going to die, too. Do you want to leave me alone?"


    Han Dang clenched his fist, then loosened it, but in an instant he clenched it again. He repeated several times in succession, and finally took a deep breath and sat down glumly.


    Cheng Pu passed on the letter and let Ling Tong, Gan Ning and others read it in turn.


    After watching it, people were worried and even more surprised. They didn''t expect Zhou Yu to lose so miserably.


    Gan Ning asked, "General de Mou, what shall we do now?"


    Cheng Pu''s eyes were full of dignified expression, and said: "I have been in the army before, but I didn''t leave soldiers stationed in each county. The reason is that the governor won in Changsha County and gained an advantage. "


    "As long as the commander''s troops are there, they can support at any time."


    "As long as I capture more cities, the governor of Dadu can send troops to garrison them."


    "But now, the troops of Dadu governor have been lost, and it is certainly impossible for us to garrison most of Jiangxia County, and Liu Xiu will not ignore it."


    "So, I think we can prepare to withdraw, withdraw to Xiling County, guard Qichun county and Xiazhi County, and control these main cities bordering Jiangdong."


    Cheng Pu said: "in this way, once the governor has calmed down, we can continue to attack Xiangyang. It''s a portal. It can''t be lost. "


    Han Dang could not help sighing and said, "it''s a pity that old Huang Bai is dead."


    "Son of a bitch!" Cheng Pu said: "Lao Huang is dead, but I''ll take revenge on him. Just now, we need to hold on. If we are still fighting with Liu Xiu now, it will be very difficult to defend Xiling county and other places once we have consumed the few troops we have


    Han Dang waved his hand and said, "your arrangement is that I will not participate."Ling said: "general Cheng Pu, what I am most worried about now is whether Liu Xiu has any plans? Liu Xiu just led 1000 Flying Tiger battalions to support. I don''t think it''s possible. "


    The words made everyone''s heart heavy.


    Gan Ning also said: "general Cheng, since we are going to retreat, let''s retreat as soon as possible."


    "Newspaper!"


    At this time, the voice of the soldiers sounded outside the camp again.


    A soldier quickly came in, knelt down on one knee and reported: "general, it''s not good. Now news is spreading everywhere that Liu Xiu has arranged 8000 soldiers to set out from Shaxian County to attack Xiling, Xiazhi, Qichun and other counties. Liu Xiu arranged for people to shoot arrows in the army. Now, many soldiers have been informed. In the barracks, there has been a lot of discussion. "


    Cheng Pu''s face turned pale.


    Sure enough!


    As soon as Liu Xiu made a move, he could not be a single aid to Anlu county.


    Cheng Pu''s eyes were serious and said, "withdraw. We will withdraw to Xiling County immediately. I hope that when we retreat to Xiling County, the garrison in Xiling county will still be able to hold on. "


    Gan Ning suddenly said, "general Cheng, there is still a problem."


    "What''s the problem?"


    Cheng Pu''s eyes were anxious.


    Gan Ning replied: "at present, we can''t know whether there are ambushes arranged by Liu Xiu on the way to Xiling county. Under such circumstances, our army retreated together. I''m afraid it''s dangerous. "


    Cheng Pu asked, "xingba, what do you mean?"


    Gan Ning''s eyes were serious and said, "I mean, we''re going to divide our forces. Only in this way can Liu Xiu''s army avoid ambush. In the end, we all meet in Xiling county. "


    After hearing this, Cheng Pu thought about Gan Ning''s suggestion.


    The division of forces naturally has the advantage of division, and can act flexibly, but the danger of division is that it is easy to be defeated by each one.


    Each has its own advantages and disadvantages!


    For a moment, Cheng Pu also found it difficult to make a choice, because he was afraid of being defeated by each one.


    Gan Ning said again, "general Cheng, have you considered a problem. If our army marches, Liu Xiu will send the soldiers of Feihu camp to pursue and kill us. Once we are caught up, what should we do? At that time, it will be difficult to get rid of the pursuit of the flying tiger camp. On the contrary, after we divide our troops now, we not only speed up our way, but also make it difficult for Liu Xiu to pursue


    Ling Tong thought for a moment, and echoed: "general Cheng Pu, the last general also agrees with the analysis of Xing ba. The current situation is more suitable for the division of forces. "


    Seeing this, Cheng Pu nodded and said, "in that case, we will march separately. At present, there are more than 8000 soldiers in the army. Ling Tong, you lead 2000 soldiers; Gan Ning, you also lead 2000 soldiers; the rest of the soldiers are led by Ben general and Han Dang. "


    "No!"


    When Ling Tong and Gan Ning heard the speech, their faces showed a smile.


    Cheng Pu also ordered the soldiers to bring the map, and then carefully planned the route of each of the three soldiers, then directly ordered the withdrawal, and quickly left Anlu county.


    This news spread to Liu Xiu''s ears, Liu Xiu learned that the other party was divided into three groups of troops to withdraw, but only laughed. In fact, there is not much difference between the withdrawal of the army along the way and the withdrawal of the army along the three routes. In the end, it can only be the same result.

 Chapter 336

    After Cheng Pu''s withdrawal, Liu Xiu''s soldiers took a rest for a day, and then began to move quickly. All the way east from Anlu County, the army swept all the way. From this level of analysis, we can see Huang Zu''s prestige in Jiangxia county. Once the army arrived, the counties quickly attached.


    While Liu Xiu and Huang Zu were sweeping, more than 4000 soldiers led by Cheng Pu and Han Dang arrived in Xiling county.


    Then Ling Tong and Gan Ning arrived with their troops.


    When the three armies joined forces, they directly entered Xiling city.


    Xiling county is the seat of Jiangxia County, with a large city. The general was named fan Tu, a valiant general sent by Cheng PU. Cheng Pu was discussing affairs at the prefect''s office in the city. He looked at fan Tu and asked, "fan Tu, did Jingzhou soldiers come to invade when he was going to leave?"


    Fan Tu shook his head and said, "no!"


    Cheng Pu asked again, "what about Xiazhi county and Qichun county?"


    Fan Tu also said: "according to the current information, Jingzhou soldiers directly captured e County and Ying County in the southeast of Xiling City, and then captured Xiazhi county and Qichun county. Now, Xiling is a lonely city. "


    Brush!


    Cheng Pu''s face suddenly changed.


    The retreat from Anlu county to Xiling city was not ambushed, and it was very smooth.


    It turned out that Liu Xiu''s army had cut off the retreat.


    At this time, the expression on the faces of Ling Tong, Gan Ning and others was quite dignified.


    Although Xiling city is strong enough to withstand tens of thousands of troops, how long can it last? Especially when the back road is cut off, Cheng Pu and his party are all alone.


    Will you withdraw immediately?


    In Cheng Pu''s heart, this kind of thought came out.


    However, once we withdraw from Xiling City, it will be very difficult to capture it again.


    Cheng Pu took a deep breath and said, "you all know the current situation of Xiling city. Now, we all understand the difficulties we are facing. Let''s talk about our own ideas. "


    Han Dang squinted and said, "fight to the death! Fight to the death! I, the son of Jiangdong, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. This war must be fought to the end with Liu Xiu. "


    At this time, Han Dang had been blindfolded by hatred.


    There was only one idea in his mind - to kill Liu Xiu and avenge the death of Huang Gai.


    Even if he is dead, he will achieve this goal.


    After listening to Han Dang''s words, Cheng Pu shakes his head and looks at other people.


    Ling Tong then said, "general Cheng, I think we should stick to it."


    "Why?" Cheng asked


    Lingtong''s eyes were firm, and said: "the Xiling city in nuota has a high and thick wall. It''s not so easy to attack."


    "At the beginning, Liu Bei led tens of thousands of troops to attack Xiangyang City, but he failed to break through Xiangyang City. Instead, he killed himself. Xiling city is not as strong as Xiangyang City, but it can''t be won without 10000 or 20000 people. "


    "At the beginning, we were able to capture Xiling city successfully because Huang Zu fled all the way and didn''t want to resist with the help of Xiling city. As soon as he fled, the morale of the army broke up and all the counties surrendered directly. "


    "That''s why we can seize Xiling city."


    "Now, if we retreat and want to control Xiling City, it will be very difficult."


    "On the contrary, we stick to Xiling city. Not to say much, I will stick to it for ten days and a half months, even about January. At that time, as long as the governor or the Lord sends troops to support Jiangxia County, we will be able to stand firm and nail a thorn in Jiangxia County, making Jiangxia County restless. "


    Ling Tong said: "even if we can''t hold it, we can at least hold down Liu Xiu''s pace and consume Liu Xiu''s troops by a large margin. I suggest staying in Xiangyang for the time being. "


    After listening to the complete analysis, Cheng Pu''s eyes showed a touch of appreciation.


    Ling Tong''s analysis is in line with Cheng Pu''s appetite.


    The situation in Jiangdong is not good. Once we withdraw from Xiling now, it means that we will throw away the advantage we have. Such a result is not what Cheng Pu hopes.


    As long as we keep Xiling City, the benefits are obvious.


    Ganning said: "I think Lingtong''s analysis is reasonable. But it is not easy to stick to Xiling. Is there enough food? Is there enough weapons? "


    Cheng Pu looked at fantu and asked, "what about the weapons and food in the city?"


    Fan Tu said with a smile: "don''t worry, general. It''s not a problem for another three or five months. As for bow and arrow equipment, it is also sufficient at present. And there are craftsmen in the city who can make weapons constantly. "


    Gan Ning nodded and stopped asking.


    However, his heart is still full of worries. He used to be a Jinfan thief, and he had a lot of intuition about danger. Back in Xiling City, he felt inexplicably worried. This feeling is very uncomfortable, as if there is always a sword hanging overhead.


    Cheng Pu listened to the public''s opinions and said, "since this is the case, we will stick to Xiling city."


    Everyone nodded and agreed with Cheng PU.Cheng Pu said, "come back from Anlu county. We''ve been working hard all the way. Let''s go down and have a rest. Be careful."


    On hearing this, Han Dang said with a smile: "de Mou, Liu Xiu is powerful, but he is not a demon. You''re too careful. I think you''re afraid of Liu Xiu. That''s too bad. "


    Cheng Pu didn''t want to argue, but said, "Han Dang, I have my own opinion."


    Han Dang got up and left the hall.


    When they were ordered, they got up and left.


    Cheng Pu wrote two more letters. Then he called for the soldiers to leave the city immediately and sent them to Wuxian county and Yuzhang county. One is for Sun Quan and the other is for Zhou Yu, which explains the reason for staying in Xiling city.


    After the arrangement, Cheng Pu left the county government and went to the barracks in the city. Cheng Pu knows that as long as he controls the barracks, no matter what, he will never make a big mistake.


    On April nights, the moon is like a hook.


    Xiling City, a residence in the west of the city.


    The hall is brightly lit.


    Pang Tong was dressed in a black robe, sitting upright, with a group of generals standing below. After the army occupied Shaxian County, Pang Tong began to divide his forces and quickly occupied Ying County, e County, Qichun county and Xiazhi County in the southeast of Xiling County, cutting off the retreat of Xiling county.


    Among the four counties, e County, Qichun county and pangtong county have 1000 troops respectively; Ying county and Xiazhi county have 1500 troops respectively. Out of the 5000 soldiers, Pang Tong and shamoko had 3000 barbarians.


    Pang Tongqiao ran took the barbarians to Xiling city. When he arrived, Cheng Pu and his party had not come back. Pang Tong and shamoko led the army to hide, and then inquired for information.


    After some investigation, we learned that the garrison was fan Tu.


    However, although fan TU was stationed in the city, he did not set up checkpoints under the city and did not check the people in and out.


    In this way, Pang Tong made a plan to attack the city.


    If Cheng Pu knows that Xiazhi County, Qichun county and other places will continue to withdraw after being attacked, then the barbarians stationed in each county will attack Cheng PU. While Cheng Pu stayed, he attacked in the city. So Pang Tong left a thousand barbarians outside the city, and then divided the remaining two thousand into parts, all with the clothes of ordinary people, and entered the city pretty.


    Being able to enter depends on fan Tu''s negligence.


    After entering the city, Pang Tong first contacted the big families of Xiling city.


    Now the situation in Jiangxia county is known to all the families, especially the news of Liu xiusha''s return has already spread. All the families knew that Jiangxia county would be restored, so Pang Tongyi summoned them, and everyone was willing to listen to Pang Tong''s arrangement.


    After discussing the countermeasures with the people of the major families, Pang Tong waited in the city for Cheng Pu and others to come back.


    As soon as Cheng Pu came back, the news spread to Pang Tong.


    People from all the major families also sent people to ask when to take action. Pang Tong replied one by one and asked the major families in Xiling city to wait and wait for the news.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    The sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came in from outside the hall.


    After the barbarians entered, they reported: "the military division, it''s only a quarter of an hour before the time of the year. The major families have sent people to ask if they can give orders."


    But Pang Tong shook his head and said, "don''t worry. Isn''t there a quarter of an hour left? Wait a minute. "


    Pang Tong took a sip of tea and sat upright, looking very calm. Since he followed Liu Xiu, he has participated in all kinds of wars. From the excitement of participating in the war planning at the beginning, to gradually, he has become calm and comfortable, and has been used to it for a long time.


    Barbarians see this, but can only obediently wait.

 Chapter 337

    A quarter of an hour is fleeting.


    Pang Tong looked at the barbarians standing in the hall and ordered: "send a signal and act according to the plan."


    "No!"


    The barbarian looked excited and turned to retreat.


    Pang Tong got up and went to the gate. He looked up at the starry sky with a smile on his lips. All of a sudden, a sharp roar broke the silence of Xiling city.


    The roaring arrow broke through the air, and it was even more dazzling with the light of fire.


    "Whew! Whew


    Two arrows burst into the air in succession, and they sounded in the city at the same time.


    With three arrows, the curtain began.


    For a moment, the direction of Xiling county government lit up the fire, and the fire rose to the sky. Then, the location of the Yamen also caught fire.


    The county government and the government government were on fire at the same time, which attracted the attention of the magistrate of Xiling city.


    The county magistrate of Xiling city constantly dispatched the Yamen to put out the fire. At the same time, he sent the Yamen to the military camp to ask for Cheng Pu''s support.


    In the barracks, Cheng Pu listened to the Yamen''s words and flatly refused to say, "the fire is burning. It''s a big deal to burn down the County Yamen and the Yamen. You go to the county magistrate and ask him to put out the fire. The army in the city will not participate in the fire fighting. "


    The Yamen servant''s eyes were full of helpless expression, and he could only leave unhappily.


    Soon after, Han Dang, Ling Tong, Gan Ning and others all came to the big account of the Chinese army. At the same time, Cheng Pu has ordered the soldiers to ring the drum and gather them together to ensure that they can send troops at any time.


    Cheng Pu said in a deep voice: "gentlemen, the county government and the government government are on fire at the same time. Obviously, there are already Liu Xiu''s people in Xiling City, and now they are on the move. Their ultimate goal must be us. So tonight, be sure to cheer up. As long as we get through the night and defeat the people hiding in the dark, we can keep Xiling city. These people who are hiding in the city must be destroyed. "


    Gan Ning said: "the fire in the government and county government should be the first step. Next, I don''t know what it will be? "


    Ling Tong turned his eyes and said: "Liu Xiu''s people made a fire, obviously they want us to send troops to rescue us, and then take the opportunity to deal with us. It seems that their goal is to get us out of the barracks and then attack. "


    "General Cheng didn''t send troops just now, but the other side''s plan was defeated. But the other side must have expected that. The other side must have a second step. The next step is to force us to go. "


    Ling Tong suddenly said: "grain, only grain in granary. Once the granary goes wrong, we will not be able to guard it. The other party''s next plan must be granary. "


    Han Dang frowned and said, "the granary is garrisoned by troops. Not everyone can get in."


    Ling Tong said: "General Han, as long as you are willing to work hard, everything is possible."


    "Look, there''s a fire in the direction of the granary."


    All of a sudden, Gan Ning reached out and pointed to the direction of the granary, with an anxious look in his eyes. Once the granary is on fire and the grain is burned, it is impossible for Cheng Pu to keep Xiling city.


    Cheng Pu looked solemnly and said, "the granary is on fire. We have to help. Even if we know it''s the other side''s plot, we can''t help it. "


    "I''d rather listen to the order!"


    Cheng Pu yelled and gave the order directly.


    "Yes


    Gan Ning answers with a fist.


    Cheng Pu ordered: "you take two thousand soldiers as the vanguard and run to the granary immediately. Granary is located in the south of the city. If you go to the south of the city, you will definitely encounter ambush. You must be careful. "


    "No!"


    Ganning should be boxing, immediately to mobilize soldiers to leave.


    However, there is another idea in Gan Ning''s mind. Now that he knows that the granary is on fire, he should withdraw directly. Now he is going to fight the fire. He can only sink deeper and deeper. But Gan Ning also understands Cheng Pu''s mind. Once the granary is held, it means that there is still hope for the next garrison in Xiling city.


    Suddenly, Ling Tong said: "general, it''s not good. The equipment room in the southeast of the county is on fire. If there is a fire in the southwest, it must be in the storehouse where bows, arrows, swords and so on are stored. "


    Suddenly, a fire broke out in the southwest of the county.


    Cheng Pu''s eyes narrowed and said, "Ling Tong, you must be careful when you lead 2000 soldiers."


    "No!"


    Ling Tong nodded, turned and left, and then led the soldiers to leave the camp quickly.


    At this time, only Cheng Pu and Han were left as the two main generals.


    Cheng Pu said: "Lao Han, Gan Ning will go to the rescue. There will be an ambush on the way. So, you''re going to lead another two thousand soldiers. Once the other side and Ganning fight, after the fight begins, you lead the army into the battlefield and defeat the other side. If they can''t defeat each other, they will withdraw to the south gate and break out of the city from the south gate. If you can''t put out the fire after you get to the granary, you can also withdraw directly to the south gate. The south gate is garrisoned by fan Tu, so it will be easy to withdraw. "


    Han Dang nodded and said, "what about you?"


    Cheng Pu said: "I led the soldiers to postpone Lingtong. I was also very worried along the way."


    Han Dang nodded and said, "take care!""Take care!"


    Cheng Pu replied, and each of them commanded the soldiers. After a quarter of an hour, they began to lead their troops away from the barracks and moved in the direction of Ganning and Lingtong.


    At this time, outside the barracks, there were people who disappeared secretly.


    After Pang Tong got Cheng Pu''s arrangement, he showed a sneer in his eyes. Did he think that he could resist the attack by twice?


    Obviously, it''s impossible.


    Gan Ning led his troops forward, always cautiously.


    However, after more than half of the journey, we are about to reach the granary, and there is still no ambush. This situation makes Gan Ning''s heart a little strange.


    The closer we get to the granary, the brighter the light is. It''s like day.


    At this time, Ganning''s foreboding was stronger.


    "Oh dear!"


    Suddenly, behind Ganning, a soldier yelled, but he slipped and fell to the ground. Gan Ning looked back and said, "get up quickly. There is grass on the ground. Why did you fall down?"


    After saying a word, Gan Ning suddenly stares big eyes.


    Grass!


    The ground is covered with grass.


    Gan Ning squatted down, three or two times picked up the grass on the ground, and then reached for a touch. It is greasy to start with, but also has a tung oil flavor.


    "Retreat, retreat!"


    Gan Ning was so scared that he ordered to retreat.


    Suddenly, about thirty feet in front of the street, Juli rushed out a group of soldiers, all armed with big bows and bowing arrows. Every bow and arrow is a rocket.


    "Whew! Whew


    One rocket broke through the air, or hit the soldier, or fell to the ground.


    The rocket landed on the ground and ignited the hay.


    "Hoo


    The tung oil on the ground burned immediately.


    On the official road, only saw a fire snake scurrying, the rapid spread. The speed is almost dazzling. Gan Ning''s heart was completely shocked. He looked at the houses on both sides, and didn''t plan to rush in at all. Once the fire started, the houses on both sides were hard to hide.


    Retreat!


    Ganning''s heart, only such a thought.


    Gan Ning roared and kept retreating with his soldiers, but when he and his soldiers turned around and retreated, he suddenly found that the rear was the same, and the fire started to burn. On the long official road, the fire snakes scurry, and the soldiers under Ganning''s command scurry in an attempt to break through.


    It''s just that there are people guarding the front and back of the pipeline, constantly shooting arrows.


    Gan Ning led the army to break through quickly, and the fire started to burn, and Gan Ning also had a fire. After he put out the fire, he took the soldiers to retreat quickly, but there were bows and arrows in front and back, and the fire was more burning.


    Two thousand soldiers under Ganning''s command were seriously injured.


    After breaking out, there were less than 500 people around.


    Han Dang found that there was a big fire ahead, accelerated forward to catch up. But after all, he was a quarter of an hour late, a quarter of an hour late. When he arrived, only Ganning and a few soldiers rushed out.


    At this time, Ganning looked to the southwest and found that there was a fire near the equipment warehouse in the southwest.


    "Ling Tong is finished. He must have been ambushed."


    Gan Ning sighed in his heart. He knew that this time, people had set up an ambush, waiting for them to go.


    When Han Dang saw this scene, he knew that it was impossible to rescue food again. So, he said directly, "no matter. Let''s go. Let''s go straight to the south gate and get ready to break through."


    Gan Ning nodded and led the tired and scarred soldiers to the south gate.

 Chapter 338

    When Han led the army to the south gate, Cheng Pu also came with the soldiers.


    Lingtong, like Ganning, was burned by the fire.


    Cheng Pu looked at Gan Ning and was relieved to see that he was burned black. Although ambushed, but at least alive.


    By this time, Cheng Pu had some regrets in his heart. If he didn''t want to stay in Xiling city and put a nail in Jiangxia County, there would be no current couple. His own troubles and his own ideas have once again ruined more than 3000 soldiers.


    For a moment, Cheng Pu''s heart was like a knife.


    However, Cheng Pu still has to break through the siege. He looks up to the city floor and orders, "go, we''ll get out of the city immediately."


    More than 4000 soldiers, go to the South Gate quickly.


    When he arrived at the south gate, Cheng Pu didn''t have time to get close to the city gate, but there were archers on the top of the city. All the soldiers took aim at the downstairs of the city.


    "Shoot the arrow!"


    The fierce roar came from the city tower.


    All of a sudden, waves of arrow rain fell, fell in the Jiangdong soldiers. The screams echoed endlessly, and immediately nearly 100 soldiers fell under the bow and arrow, or were seriously injured, or were directly shot.


    "Even the south gate is under control!"


    In Cheng Pu''s heart, there was a trace of fear.


    How is that possible?


    Fan Tu is in charge of the south gate. How can fan Tu surrender?


    The only possibility is that fantu has been killed.


    For a moment, Cheng Pu was frightened by the power of the schemer behind the scenes. It was amazing that he could capture the south gate and kill fan Tu quietly.


    Han Dang suddenly said in a loud voice: "break through, quick, break through immediately."


    At this time, if you stay one more breath, you will lose one more soldier in the army.


    After Han Dang orders, Gan Ning and Ling Tong rush to the gate of the city in the rain of arrows. At this time, in the galloping Road on both sides of the tower, a group of spearmen rushed out, all sticking to the gate.


    All the wounded Dongjiang soldiers approached.


    Gan Ning and Ling Tong took the lead. After breaking through the formation of long spearmen, they took the soldiers to kill them.


    Cheng Pu and Han Dang saw this and quickly killed them.


    A battle in the gate of the city, immediately opened.


    At this time, there was a sudden cry of killing in the city. The soldiers gathered in the city and the troops sent by the major families had already quickly killed in the direction of the south gate. They wanted to kill Cheng Pu and others here completely.


    Cheng Pu''s heart became more and more anxious. He led the soldiers to rush to the front quickly.


    After arriving at the city gate, he broke the bolt, then opened the city gate and rushed out.


    "Rush, rush out!"


    Cheng Pu stayed with his soldiers and kept retreating.


    On the tower, the archer turned his direction and aimed at the Jiangdong soldier who was out of the city. He shot quickly. The dense rain of arrows fell, and a group of Jiangdong soldiers fell indignantly under the bow and arrow.


    By this time, the pursuers in the city had caught up and kept killing.


    Cheng Pu quickly led the troops to retreat, but just less than three miles away, an army burst out on the official road in front of him. The leader of this army is shamoko.


    A torch burns, a thousand barbarians line up.


    Shamoko, holding the bone of Tribulus terrestris in his hand, roared: "shamoko is here, kill me!"


    "Kill


    A thousand barbarians, immediately launched a sprint.


    At this time, Cheng Pu''s soldiers were already less than 4000, and they were all lost dogs and frightened birds. When he saw the soldiers under shamoko coming, he was afraid in his heart.


    Han Dang took the lead to welcome up, roared: "kill, kill the past."


    Han Dang took the lead in charging, and Ling Tong, Gan Ning and others immediately followed. The soldiers were still a thousand barbarians fighting against shamoko.


    "Shamoko, die!"


    When Han Dang approaches shamoko, he turns the big knife in his hand, raises the blade, and uses one move to split Huashan.


    Under the light of fire, the blade is sharp.


    "To die!"


    Shamoko''s Tribulus terrestris was swung up and smashed directly.


    "Dang!"


    The impact of weapons, dazzling sparks flying around.


    Han Dang snorted, and a mouthful of blood came up from his mouth, but he pressed it down directly. The impact just now, his heart has been injured.


    However, Han Dang did not retreat, he roared: "Cheng demiu, break out quickly, break out immediately." As soon as the voice fell, Han Dang waved a knife to meet shamoko. It''s the most violent way to kill.


    Seeing this, Cheng Pu immediately went to support him, but there were barbarians around him, which delayed his pace.


    Not far away, Gan Ning and Ling Tong are also tired of coping.


    Ganning and Lingtong are quite good at martial arts, but after a trip in the sea of fire, they were shot by bows and arrows. Now they are at the end of the battle."Get out, get out!"


    Han Dang resisted shamoko''s attack and roared.


    If the four of them stay here, the soldiers will be fighting and it will be hard to get away.


    Cheng Pu took a look at Han Dang and ordered: "Ling Tong, Gan Ning, lead the army to retreat."


    With a command, Cheng Pu tries his best to kill the two Koreas with a knife. Han Dang is his brother. He can''t sit back and ignore him. Cheng Pu understands that Han Dang''s intention is to hold back shamoko and let him lead the troops to withdraw.


    However, Cheng Pu can''t give up his old brother.


    Gan Ning and Ling Tong looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and then struggled to break through.


    When the two retreated, the Jiangdong soldiers under their command also quickly broke through.


    At this time, shamoko faced Han Dang and Cheng Pu alone, but Han Dang was at the end of his rope and kept coughing up blood. Cheng Pu''s strength has been greatly reduced.


    "None of you want to run away. You''re all going to die."


    "Kill


    Shamoko roars, waving the iron thistle in his hand, and hits Cheng Pu with one move. This move fell down and sank vigorously. At the moment of collision with Cheng Pu''s steel knife, Cheng Pu was smashed out and fell to the ground to cough up blood.


    With one move, Cheng Pu was defeated.


    Han Dang rushed over immediately, helped Cheng Pu and roared, "you fool, you are not good at martial arts. You have to stay."


    "Somebody, come on, take him and leave."


    Han Dang called the soldiers and asked them to retreat with Cheng Pu on their back.


    Seeing this, shamoko said, "where to escape, you will die." He wanted to come forward to pursue him, but Han Dang directly stood in front of him. His eyes were sharp and he said coldly, "if you want to kill my brother, step on my body first."


    "Death," said shamoko


    With a cold drink, without any hesitation, shamoko smashed out the bone of Tribulus terrestris with his hands.


    Han Dang held the knife in both hands and met it directly.


    "Dang!"


    At the moment when the weapon hit, this force poured down. Han Dang''s sword flew out directly. The tiger''s mouth had been cracked. After two steps back, he staggered and sat on the ground.


    Shamoko hand iron tribulus bone in a circle, struggling to Korea when hit.


    Han Dang quickly dodges. He rolls over, picks up a knife and rushes to shamoko.


    "If you want to die, I will help you."


    Shamoko''s patience has already been used up, and his hand is more fierce. Tribulus terrestris bone swept, directly hit Han Dang''s waist. Han Dang quickly blocked this move.


    At the moment when the blade hit the bone flower of Tribulus terrestris, it was knocked out directly.


    Iron Tribulus terrestris bone flower forward, bang in Han Dang''s waist.


    "Pooh! Poof


    The sharp thorn on the bone of Tribulus terrestris penetrated into Han Dang''s body.


    "Chaka! Click


    The rib at the waist was broken.


    "Ah


    Han Dang screamed bitterly. He felt as if he had been pierced by thousands of sharp iron. Under the impact of the Tribulus terrestris, the internal organs in his chest had been shattered.


    Under one blow, Han Dang died.


    Cheng Pu, who was carried by the soldiers, heard the sound and looked back, but he didn''t see Han Dang. However, Cheng Pu''s heart, but suddenly cone heart pain. Cheng Pu lay on the soldiers'' back and couldn''t think about anything else. His mind was blank.


    seeing Jiangdong soldiers break through, shamoko immediately ordered the soldiers to cover up and kill them.


    It''s a pity that after killing Han Dang, he never killed the rest of the generals. After half an hour of killing, shamoko led his army to turn around, and then joined the soldiers who were chasing from the city to withdraw to Xiling city.

 Chapter 339

    That night, for Xiling City, something changed.


    Jiang Dongbing, who were still in the city yesterday, were all expelled, but the granary and equipment warehouse in Xiling city suffered losses. However, the people of the major families in Xiling city enthusiastically donated grain, and they quickly gathered 10000 stone grains.


    The fire in the prefect''s office and the county government has been put out. Although the fire was put out, it also caused great damage to the two government offices.


    South Gate, on the tower.


    Pang Tong met with the people of the major families, expressed his gratitude one by one, and then counted the losses.


    In this war, less than 400 barbarians were lost.


    The private soldiers of the major families were also returned one by one. As for the losses, they all said that there was no need to make up for them.


    Pang Tong arranged for the soldiers to clean up the situation, and asked shamoko to guard the four gates, so he went down to have a rest.


    The next morning, Liu Xiu led his troops to Xiling city.


    Pang Tong took shamoko to meet him. He arched his hand and said, "my Lord, I live up to the expectations of the people. I have already recaptured Xiling city and other counties. In this battle, Han Dang was killed and more than 5000 people were killed. At present, Cheng Pu, Ling Tong and Gan Ning have fled. However, I have arranged for soldiers to intercept and kill in the counties along the way. With their losses, even if they can escape from Jiangxia County, there are few soldiers left. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and went into the city immediately.


    However, Liu Xiu was curious to hear that Pang Tong said that both the government and the county government had been burned. After inquiring about the reasons, he learned that Pang Tong defeated Cheng Pu''s army at the expense of the government, the county government, the granary and the equipment warehouse. Liu Xiu was completely convinced.


    It''s too big.


    The army encamped in the school yard in the city, and Liu Xiu discussed affairs in the big account of the Chinese army.


    When they were seated, Liu Xiu looked at Huang Zu and said, "Huang Taishou, now all the counties in Jiangxia, including Ying County, Qichun County, Xiazhi County, have been taken back. What you have to do now is quickly pacify the people and stabilize Jiangxia county. "


    Huang Zu said: "don''t worry, my Lord. I will stabilize the situation in the shortest time.


    However, Huang Zu''s heart is still uneasy.


    After all, he lost Jiang Xia. How will Liu Xiu punish him?


    Liu Xiu glanced at the civil and military generals in the big account, and then said: "in view of the defeat, I plan to set up the Fourth Army in Qichun first, with Tai Shici in charge of the Fourth Army. However, taishici was only in charge of the army, and the Jiangxia water army was still in charge of Huang Taishou. "


    Huang Zu''s face changed a little.


    At this time, he understood Liu Xiu''s intention, and with the help of this defeat, he directly placed taishici in Jiangxia.


    But Huang Zu can bear the result.


    What he lost was the whole Jiangxia, which buried tens of thousands of soldiers. Now Liu Xiu still let him return to his original position and let him take charge of the water army. To some extent, it was connivance. However, it is obvious that taishici is also intended to strengthen the control of Jiangxia county when he is in charge of the Fourth Army.


    With a smile, Huang Zu arched his hand and said, "I will obey the Lord''s command and cooperate with general Taishi."


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly, with a satisfied expression on his face.


    Huang Zu''s action is more general.


    ¡­¡­


    Jiangdong, Chaisang.


    Liu Bei and his party went south from Nanyang County to Jiujiang County, and then went south to Chaisang.


    After arriving in Chaisang, Liu Xiu and his party were placed in Chaisang.


    The soldiers were going to report to Wu County, but Sun Quan went to Yichun County in person. When Sun Quan got the news, he went north to Chaisang and joined Liu Bei.


    Taishou mansion, hall.


    Sun quangao sat right above, his eyes on Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Liu Qi and others. However, at a glance, Sun Quan saw that Liu Qi was a puppet, but Sun Quan understood that Liu Qi was in hand, and Liu Xiu was fighting for justice. After all, Liu Qi is the eldest son.


    With a smile on his face, Sun Quan said, "why did uncle Liu come to Jiangdong?"


    Liu Bei said with a smile: "Marquis Wu, now Liu Xiu has no way. Naturally, I come here to unite with sun Taishou to fight against Liu Xiu and those who have no way."


    Sun Quan said: "uncle Liu''s command is no more than ten thousand, how to fight?"


    Liu Bei is still neither humble nor arrogant, saying: "Marquis Wu, to attack Liu Xiu, we need not only elite, but also think tank. Under his command, General Chen Dao is outstanding in martial arts, and counselor Zhuge Liang is outstanding in strategy. With them, the Marquis of Wu will be much more successful. "


    Sun Quan laughed and said, "under the command of the Marquis, there are Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, and countless powerful generals. If you want to attack Liu Xiu, I''m afraid you can do it without uncle Liu. If uncle Liu is willing to listen to the instructions of the Marquis, he can


    Sun Quan also knew about Liu Bei''s soldiers.


    Liu Bei''s white soldiers are all elite. If this army can listen to his transfer, even if it is not used for its own use, it can also be used to attack difficult places, but it can also reduce his pressure.


    Liu Bei still looked calm and said: "Marquis Wu, when we went down to Chaisang from Jiujiang County, we heard a news that Han Dang, Ling Tong, Gan Ning and Cheng Pu led their troops to attack Jiangxia County, and finally defeated the general at the expense of their troops. Among them, Han Dang died in the war. Cheng Pu''s army has been completely lost. "In a word, Sun Quan''s face has changed greatly.


    Under Sun Quan''s command, Huang Gai just died in the war, and Han Dang died again. For Sun Quan, two more generals died.


    Even Sun Quan could not afford such a loss.


    Sun Quan said: "uncle Liu, you can''t talk nonsense."


    Liu Bei looked calm and said: "the news from Jiangxia county must be true. Cheng Pu and others withdrew from Jiangling County. I think they should be almost there. "


    Sun Quan took a look at Liu Bei and frowned.


    If so, then it is really necessary to unite with Liu Bei.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came in quickly.


    The soldier knelt down on one knee and reported: "Marquis Wu, Ling Tong and Gan Ning asked to see you."


    Sun Quan''s heart thumped, but he didn''t expect to come back. Liu and uncle Ge will go to see you for a while. I will discuss with you after I have dealt with the matter in my hand. "


    "Good!"


    There was a touch of joy in Liu Bei''s eyes, so he left with Zhuge Liang, Liu Qi and others.


    Soon, Gan Ning and Ling Tong quickly came in.


    At this time, Gan Ning and Ling Tong were both shabby and haggard. They had already lost a lot of weight. At a glance, it seems like a beggar.


    Sun Quan saw them and asked, "you two are back. What about Cheng Pu and Han Dang?"


    Ling Tong replied, "please tell me, old general Han died in Jiangxia. General Cheng was injured and is currently in the army for treatment. My Lord, we failed to live up to the great trust of our Lord, and we lost the captured Jiangxia. "


    Sun Quan took a deep breath and asked, "what''s the matter? You have occupied Jiangxia. How can you lose it again?"


    Ling Tongyi''s story begins with the attack on Anlu county and Liu Xiu''s sudden invasion and occupation, then Cheng Pu''s troops withdraw into Xiling City, and finally they are ambushed, so that Han Dang died in the war, and then he withdraws from Ying County, Qichun County, Xiazhi County, etc. It has been a very hard journey.


    After hearing this, Sun Quan took a deep breath, but sighed.


    "You have worked hard."


    At this time, Sun Quan''s heart, already can''t help but sigh. Under such circumstances, it is quite a good result to be able to escape.


    Unfortunately, Han Dang died in the war.


    Sun Quan appeased Ling Tong and Gan Ning, and then let them go down to have a rest.


    After that, Sun Quan went to the military camp again, visited Cheng Pu and the military affairs, and then returned to the prefecture. At this time, he has made up his mind to make an alliance with Liu Bei.

 Chapter 340

    Qichun County, military camp.


    After taishici stationed outside Qichun County, Liu Xiu brought 8000 barbarians. Liu Xiu took 7000 barbarians to taishici, leaving only 1000 barbarians to be commander in chief of shamoko.


    Based on 7000 barbarians, taishici recruited soldiers for training.


    In just half a month, there were 20000 soldiers in the barracks.


    However, all the government affairs in the army are run by Tai Shici, and Tai Shici is also responsible for the training of soldiers. He is very busy every day, and even has to stay up late at night to deal with things, so that he is very tired.


    After a long time, he also felt that this arrangement was unreasonable.


    As it happens, Liu Xiu is still in the military camp. Tai Shici finds Liu Xiu, and the two take their seats in the big tent.


    Taishici showed a trace of fatigue on his face and said: "Lord, Ma Liang is naturally happy for Ma Su''s resignation, but he also mentioned the most crucial problem, that is, Ma Liang thinks Ma Su is too young. Today, Ma Su is only 18 years old and less than 20 years old. Moreover, Ma Liang also said that although Ma Su was proficient in the art of war and military strategy, he took it for granted and was too idealistic.


    Liu Xiu naturally knows these problems.


    Liu Xiu could not have abandoned Ma Su because he had such a problem. On the contrary, if we can temper Ma Su''s shortcomings, then Ma Su is at least as wise as Pang Tong and Lu su.


    Liu Xiu arranged Ma Su to be a military adviser, only to give advice for Tai Shici. Under this premise, Ma Su could gradually participate in the real war to a great extent, and gradually correct his mistakes.


    After talking with Ma Liang, Liu Xiu took people to Linxiang County of Changsha County.


    When he arrived in Linxiang County, Liu Xiu went directly to see Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha County.


    The prince''s residence, please take your seat.


    Han Xuan sat in the first place on his left, with a smile on his face, and said, "it''s so nice that my Lord has come to Changsha County." For Liu Xiu, he almost watched him grow up. From the beginning, a small county magistrate has been in charge of Jingzhou in just over a year, which is really hard to measure.


    Han Xuan''s heart, is also very admire.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "Han Gong, how about Kuai Qi as the county governor?"


    Referring to Kuai Qi, Han Xuan had a smile on his face and said, "the chief public security officer chose the right person to appoint Kuai Qi as the county governor. There is no doubt about Kuai''s ability. In a short time, he has been familiar with government affairs. At present, the government affairs in the county are handled by Kuai. We will solve the big problems together. "


    Since Kuai Qi was born in the Kuai family, he is naturally very good at handling affairs. Kuai Qi found out Han Xuan''s character, applied the right medicine to the case, and soon won Han Xuan''s trust. Today, Kuai Qi is responsible for almost all the government affairs in Changsha County.

 Chapter 341

    Kuai Qi sat down. He said with a smile: "Lord, you can get familiar with government affairs quickly because of Han Gong''s help. Han Gong is the real one with great mind and wisdom. When he made a mistake, Han Gong took it and let it go. Without Han Gong''s support behind his back, his humble position would not be competent for the position of prefect. "


    This words, Han Xuan''s face expression, is more than a trace of joy.


    Han Xuan has a good face and likes such words.


    Therefore, it is easy for Kuai Qi to grasp Han Xuan''s character. Besides, Kuai Qi is from Liu Xiu''s family. No matter from which aspect, Han Xuan doesn''t want to conflict with Kuai Qi, so they get along well.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu also said with a smile: "Han Gong is always like this. At the beginning, I went to you County as magistrate, and it was Han Gong who fully supported me. Without Han Gong''s support, perhaps it would not have been the official today. "


    After hearing this, Han Xuan began to humble himself.


    The color on that face, but how can''t restrain.


    At this time, Liu Xiu had a dignified look on his face and said, "Han Gong, this time I''m here, I''ve come to ask for help from Han Gong."


    Han xuanxiu felt so honored to be praised.


    As soon as he heard that Liu Xiu was confronted with a difficult problem, Han Xuan immediately said, "my Lord has told me that I will do my best."


    Liu Xiu looked serious and said slowly, "at present, I have set up four military barracks in Jingzhou. Jiangying County in Nanyang County, Qianling County in Wuling County, you County in Changsha County, Qichun County in Jiangxia county. After the establishment of these four barracks, they have hollowed out Jingzhou''s civil and military generals, making Jingzhou short of talents. This time I came here, I asked Han Gong for help. "


    Han Xuan after listening, secretly smack tongue.


    Four barracks!


    This was a big deal, and even further strengthened Liu Xiu''s mastery of Jingzhou.


    In the age of Liu Biao, Liu Biao relied on his family to control Jingzhou and his own prestige. By Liu Xiu''s side, it was a real military power.


    There is no doubt that Liu Xiu has not only prestige, but also enough strength.


    Such a foundation is obviously better.


    Han Xuan took a deep breath, arched his hand and said: "the Lord needs help, and I am duty bound. I don''t know who the Lord thinks can be transferred to Xiangyang? "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu secretly said that Han Xuan would deal with affairs, but he took the initiative to bring it up.


    In this way, Liu Xiu is more convenient.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "is Wei Yan under Han Gong''s account?"


    Han Xuan nodded and said, "yes, I am in the army, but Wei Yan has just joined Changsha County. It is said that he was once a general under Cai Mao and was highly valued by him. At that time, Cai Mao wanted to lead his troops to revolt. Wei Yan was not willing to take part in the rebellion, nor was he willing to report Cai Mao, so he left and came to Changsha County. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "how can such a loyal general not be seen. Han Gong, is Wei Yanke in the hall


    Han Xuan shook his head and said, "Wei Yan is in the army. I''ll arrange someone to invite Wei Yan."


    Liu Xiu nodded and waited quietly.


    About a quarter of an hour later, there was a steady sound of footsteps outside the hall.


    A general, eight feet long, with a bear back, a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows, big eyes and beards, strode forward. This man is Wei Yan. Wearing armour, he entered the tent, and his eyes fell on Liu Xiu. He said with clasping fists, "at the end of the day, general Wei Yan, I''d like to see you." After that, he looked at Han Xuan and bowed his hands.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "Wei Yan, do you know my official?"


    Wei Yan replied: "when the last general was in Xiangyang, he had the honor to meet Zhou mu."


    Liu Xiu asked, "what official position did you hold when you were in Xiangyang?"


    Wei Yan replied, "report back to Zhou mu, and you will be the captain of Chengmen."


    Liu Xiu was glad to hear that. At the beginning, Cai Mao sent people to attack Sifang gate. If Wei Yan had stayed in Xiangyang at that time and cooperated with CAI Mao inside and outside, it would have an impact on wenpin''s gate.


    Wei Yan''s martial arts, he knows, this is a valiant general.


    Liu Xiu stopped beating around the Bush and said to the point: "I heard that Han Taishou said that you have outstanding martial arts skills and are quite proficient in marching and array. Would you like to go to Xiangyang with me? "


    Wei Yan looks at Han Xuan and looks surprised. Did Han Xuan recommend it?


    Han Xuan didn''t expect Liu Xiu to give him the credit for the recommendation directly. He said in his heart that Liu Xiu''s work was really different and full of atmosphere. Han Xuan said with a smile, "Wei Yan, in Linxiang County, you train all day, but you don''t have much chance to kill the enemy on the battlefield. In the end, you can only bury your ability. Now, with the Lord, you can show your talents. Now the Lord wants to recruit you, but he doesn''t agree? "


    After listening to Han Xuan''s words, Wei Yan had no burden.


    Immediately, Wei Yan knelt down on one knee and said, "Wei Yan, meet the Lord."


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Mr. Wen, please get up. If you have Mr. Wen to help me, I''ll be more powerful." All the generals under Liu Xiu''s command have been released as officials. Now with Wei Yan by his side, there is another general to help.Wei Yan stood up and bowed to one side.


    Liu xiudao said, "Mr. Wen, go down and prepare. Tomorrow morning, follow me to Xiangyang."


    "No!"


    Wei Yan nodded, turned and walked out.


    At this time, Wei Yan''s heart is also a burst of excitement.


    After he left Xiangyang, he heard of corporal Han Xuan, so he came to join him. Unexpectedly, Han Xuan really accepted him, and then let him serve in the army. It was only a short time. Unexpectedly, Han Xuan recommended him to Liu Xiu. He followed Liu Xiu, even if he was a soldier, as long as he was respected by Liu Xiu, he would be able to prosper in the future. It can be said that following Liu Xiu, he is now stepping up to the sky.


    When Han Xuan heard that Liu Xiu was leaving tomorrow, he took the initiative to say, "my lord seldom comes to Linxiang County once. This evening, my lower official is holding a banquet in the prefect''s palace to help him clean up the dust. How about that?"


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu nodded and agreed directly.


    Han Xuan was overjoyed.


    At the moment, Han Xuan settled Liu Xiu in the prefect''s residence, and then began to prepare for the banquet in the evening. Han Xuan personally ordered the preparation, and the specifications were naturally the best. At the same time, Han Xuan also invited famous families in Changsha county to participate.


    The banquet in the evening was crowded and lively.


    Liu Xiu digs a person from Han Xuan''s account, but he also needs to let Kuai Qi have a foothold, so he is patient to attend the banquet, but he is restrained in drinking.


    The banquet lasted for an hour and a half before it was over.


    When the crowd dispersed, Han Xuan was already drunk, but Kuai Qi was still sober. He settled Han Xuan in an orderly way, dealt with the matter, and then followed Liu Xiu to the rest yard.


    After they entered, they sat down in the courtyard.


    Liu Xiu asked, "Demin, did you encounter any difficulties during your stay in Changsha County?"


    Kuai Qi said with a smile, "it''s impossible to say that there is no certainty. But Han Xuan is easy to get along with, so there is no difficulty in his humble administration. The biggest problem is that, in addition to Linxiang County, the surrounding counties are very poor. My Lord was in you county at that time and developed You county. But other counties in Changsha county still have some shortcomings. Therefore, the biggest task of humble duty is to develop you County as soon as possible, so that the people can get rich. "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu was relieved.


    If Kuai Qi can have such ambition and make a good relationship with Han Xuan, he won''t have to worry about it.


    Liu xiudao: "if you encounter any problems, you can send someone to Xiangyang directly. You know your mission in Changsha County. I hope you can make achievements as soon as possible. "


    Kuai Qi said, "don''t worry, my Lord. I will work hard and live up to my Lord''s high expectations." They talked a lot about Changsha County. It was late at night when Kuai Qi got up to leave.


    Liu Xiu went back to his room and after washing, he lay down to have a rest.


    The next morning, Liu Xiu, Pang Tong and Deng Zhan left the prefecture after breakfast. Just out of the yamen, he saw that Wei Yan was already wearing a black robe, carrying a long knife, and a horse in his crotch, waiting at the gate.


    Wei Yan turned over and dismounted. He said with a clasping Fist: "see you, Lord!"


    Liu Xiu nodded. He went to the horse, turned over and mounted the horse, and said, "let''s go!"


    A group of people, quickly on the way, soon left Linxiang County, all the way to the north.

 Chapter 342

    Yicheng County, Majia!


    Last time Liu Bei led his army to attack Yicheng County, led by Ma Jia, and organized a large number of troops to resist.


    During the war, Ma''s private soldiers also suffered heavy losses.


    It''s just that the Ma family has paid so much. After Liu Xiu stabilized Xiangyang, he didn''t say anything, which made some people in the Ma family feel that Liu Xiu was unfair.


    In the hall, patriarch March sits directly above.


    Below, are the principal of the Ma family, as well as the person in charge of each branch.


    "Master, although Bo Chang was appointed as the commander of the second army, it''s just Bo Chang alone. What''s good for our Ma family? It is reasonable to say that this time the Ma family has paid so much, Liu Xiu should at least give a certain reward. If it had not been for the Ma family, Yicheng County would have already fallen. "


    "I also agree with Mathieu''s view that at least one or two talents of the Ma family should be recruited as officials. Not to mention being as powerful as Bo Chang, it''s OK to be at least a county magistrate. "


    "Look at the Kuai family. What did they give? Kuai Liang is now an official, and he is engaged in governing China, which can be said to be in a high position. The Kuai family gained such respect without doing anything. But what about us? We''ve killed and wounded thousands of private soldiers, and we''ve taken out countless grain and weapons, but now we''ve got nothing. "


    "Master, we really need to rely on Liu Xiu, but not on others. In the long run, how can the Ma family go further? "


    The debate in the hall is one after another.


    Everyone is not willing to pay for this war.


    The family spent so much power, but they didn''t even get a copper coin. Naturally, it''s uncomfortable.


    March''s eyes were cold, and he said: "a group of self righteous people, you just want to grab benefits, but you forget the fate of the Cai family? If you offend Liu Jingzhou, you should be clear about the consequences. "


    In a word, there was a silence in the hall.


    After a while, people in the hall began to shout, saying that Liu Xiu could not deal with the Ma family without rebellion.


    At this time, at the end of the right side of the hall, a young man named Qi Yuxuan stood up. He is over eighteen years old, with a pair of sword eyebrows on his temples, bright eyes, a slight smile on his lips.


    This young man is Ma su.


    Compared with Ma BoChang, Ma Zhongchang and others, Ma Su''s mouth is sharp and tricky.


    As soon as he stood up and looked at the elders in the hall, he said in a loud voice, "you uncles are so good at talking. Why don''t you go to Xiangyang in person and ask Liu Jingzhou for an explanation."


    "I''d like to see if you uncles can be so clever in front of your father and Liu Jingzhou. Hum, what is fighting in a den? If you have the ability, let Liu Jingzhou take the initiative to recruit you. That''s the ability. "


    "If you want to rely on others, what kind of person do you really think you are?"


    "Today''s Liu Jingzhou, if you want to curry favor with Liu Bei, you can''t do it. You think it''s great to resist Liu Bei."


    "If there is no Ma family, there will be other families to resist. The third brother served as a military adviser under Liu Jingzhou, which was the banner of the family. And the third brother is now the second army''s military division, once Liu Jingzhou further. I''m afraid the third brother''s official position will be higher. "


    "You are clamouring now. Once the third brother''s future is ruined and the future of the Ma family is affected, you are the culprits of the Ma family."


    Ma Su''s speech was extremely sharp. After that, all the people who were shouting just now were silent.


    Looking at Ma Su one by one, they were very upset, but they had to be convinced. Don''t be directed against me.


    suddenly has humanity: "you horse is so powerful, you have the ability to give us your talent, so that Liu Jingzhou also value you. There are two people in the Ma family who are respected by Liu Jingzhou. Naturally, we have nothing to say. "


    "Yes, yes, it is. If you have the ability, Ma Su will be a good official


    "You have a tricky mouth. You only know how to aim at us. You have the ability to go to Liu Xiu and make him believe you."


    One after another, all of them were aimed at Ma su.


    March''s eyes were sharp and cold. When he was in charge of the family, he always wanted peace and unity. I didn''t expect that these people would advance an inch. It seems that it''s time to straighten out. "


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, a servant came in quickly, with exaggerated expression.


    Seeing this, the people in the hall said, "master, I''m discussing something important now. Any servant will come in to disturb me. It''s too loose for the owner to manage the house. "


    Ma Qi hums a way: "old man governs a family, own discretion, don''t bother you to worry."


    With that, March asked, "what''s the matter?"


    The attendant said immediately, "master, Liu Jingzhou''s soldiers have come to deliver a message, and they will arrive at the gate soon."


    Brush!


    In the hall, everyone looked shocked.


    Look at each other one by one, and suddenly there is a feeling of being beaten in the face. Just now I was still talking about Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu is here now. For a moment, they all looked at March.March got up straight away and said, "come on, follow me to meet you."


    "No!"


    People no longer dare to haw, they all got up and walked out behind March. With a smile on his face, Ma Su said to himself that Liu Jingzhou had a wonderful time. Even if he came to see it, it would be a great honor for the Ma family.


    A group of people waiting at the door, not long, Liu Xiu has arrived on horseback.


    Liu Xiu turned over and dismounted. March immediately welcomed him and said, "Yicheng March, meet Zhou mu."


    "Ma Gong, please get up quickly. Please forgive me for the trouble."


    Liu Xiu''s polite words are even more flattering to Ma Qi, and all the members of the Ma family are silent. At this time, the atmosphere is simply not dare to go out.


    March waved his hand and said, "Liu Jingzhou, please."


    Liu Xiu nodded and went to the mansion, followed by Pang Tong, Wei Yan, Deng Zhan and others.


    In the hall, the guest and host are seated.


    With a bright smile on his face, Ma Qi said: "Liu Jingzhou can come to Ma''s house, which really makes Ma''s house shine."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "Ma Gong, you are too polite."


    But Ma Qi didn''t dare to be a bit casual. He was still serious: "Ji Chang works under Liu Jingzhou. I don''t know what happened to Ji Chang now? This boy is sometimes angry, busy and impulsive. If it''s inappropriate, please forgive me. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Ma Gong, you are always so modest. Ji Chang and I have known each other for a long time. We have never found anything impulsive and rash about Ji Chang. On the contrary, we are calm and generous, which is quite good. "


    When March heard the speech, a smile appeared on his face.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "this time I come to visit Ma Gong, on the one hand, I want to thank the Ma family for their efforts in resisting Liu Bei''s attack; on the other hand, I want to ask for Ma Gong."


    "Ask Liu Jingzhou to show him that he will not refuse as long as Ma Jiali can reach him," he asked


    Before Liu Xiu have opinions, at this time in the heart is also a big pimple. To resist Liu Bei, the Ma family paid a great price, but Liu Xiu took it with him in a word. Now he still asks for the Ma family. It''s too uncomfortable.


    Liu Xiuse said: "I heard that among Ma''s Wuchang, Youchang is very talented and proficient in military affairs. So this time I''m here, I hope Ma Su can become an official. "


    In an instant, the person who had a knot in his heart before suddenly widened his eyes.


    Let Ma Su be an official!


    It''s incredible.


    For a time, one by one in the heart of the pimple disappeared, but the heart is sour. Because the man who became an official is March''s son, which is very uncomfortable. But Liu Xiu let Ma Su become an official, which can also be understood as compensation for the Ma family. Obviously, Liu Xiu did not forget the Ma family.


    Ma Su stood up, went to the hall, bowed his hand to Liu Xiu, and said, "I''ll get off Ma Su and meet Zhou mu. I just don''t know what official position I''m going to take when I become an official? "


    However, Ma Qi hears Ma Su''s voice. As the saying goes, a son is better than a father. He knows that this evil son must be thinking that if his official position is small, he will not become an official.


    "Ma often scolded:" still back


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Ma Gong, you don''t have to. When you have questions, you have to answer them. " He looked at Ma Su and said, "your position is that of the Fourth Army. At present, the chief General of the Fourth Army is Tai Shici, stationed in Jiangxia county and Qichun county. If you want to become an official, you can go straight to Qichun county. "


    "The Fourth Army''s Division!"


    Ma Su''s eyes were full of excitement. He didn''t expect that he was such a big official.


    At this time, the rest of the Ma family in the hall was even more shocked.


    This, this The strength of reward is too great. It''s directly the division of the first army.


    Today''s Ma family, or the five sons of Ma Qi, actually has two sons as the first army''s military adviser. This is the only one in Xiangyang or Jingzhou. It''s shocking.


    Liu Xiu asked, "how did you think about it, young Chang?"


    Ma Su took a deep breath, arched his hand and said, "I''m going to dismount Ma Su and meet my Lord."


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he had a smile on his face. With the participation of Ma Su, the Fourth Army will be improved, and through the military experience, Ma Su can grow up quickly.

 Chapter 343

    Wan County, Cao army camp.


    Chinese army big account!


    There was a man sitting at the top. He was short and tall, but his face was dignified and his eyes were sharp.


    This man is Cao Cao.


    It was the end of May, and it was getting hot.


    Cao Cao was also not used to the humid feeling in the south. He felt that the weather was a little hot, but he felt wet and moist. He was not used to it. But after all, he didn''t say anything, and his eyes fell on Cao Ren.


    Cao Ren was mainly responsible for the war in Nanyang County.


    Cao Cao tapped his fingers on the table and said: "Zixiao, he was attacked by Liu Xiu''s army last time, and he failed to attack Xinye. Now, are you breathing? "


    Cao Ren''s face appeared a touch of embarrassment, said: "Lord, the end will be ready to fight again."


    The last time Cao Ren saw the Yizhou army attack Xinye, Liu Bei''s army was in danger and had not reached a balance. Therefore, he immediately sent out troops to prevent the Yizhou army from winning. He didn''t know that soon after the army was killed, it was ambushed. As a result, he was defeated like a mountain and defeated at the expense of his troops. Instead of controlling the situation in Nanyang County, he was beaten down.


    Cao Cao said, "if you can fight again, you don''t have to change your prime minister."


    Cao Ren Baoquan said: "prime minister, at the end of this battle, will defeat Liu Xiu."


    In fact, when Cao Cao went south this time, he led 5000 light cavalry troops and led Cheng Yu, Xun you and Jia Xu to go south first. The follow-up army is still on the way.


    Cao Cao did not publicize the news of sending troops.


    At present, no one knows the news of Cao Cao''s going south.


    Cao Cao said: "to defeat Liu Xiu, Zhang Ren feels great pressure when the news comes out.


    In this war, Zhang Ren lost in a muddle.


    The most important thing is that his every move is calculated by the other party. When Cao Ren attacked Zhuyang County, he was sure that he would go to Wan county to attack. Then he arranged 5000 elite cavalry to wait and give him a fatal blow. He retreated to Jiyang County, and the other side arranged soldiers to intercept him, which made him suffer heavy losses.


    He''s down in a row.


    There are experts behind Cao Ren. This is Zhang Ren''s first idea.


    After Zhang Ren''s defeat, especially when he deduced that there was someone behind Cao Ren, he immediately ordered his soldiers to stay in Xinye County, and then went directly to Xiangyang, ready to ask Liu Xiu to send troops to help.

 Chapter 344

    After Liu Xiu returned to Xiangyang, Huang Yueying had made a one handed crossbow. Although the power of this hand crossbow is quite different from that of Dahuang crossbow, it is more convenient and powerful than bow and arrow. Huang''s workshop seems to have become Liu Xiu''s workshop, which directly mass produced 2000 crossbows.


    This number is just in line with the number of flying tiger battalion and barbarians.


    Liu Xiu directly equipped these two thousand soldiers to ensure that each soldier had a crossbow and ten crossbows.


    Then Liu Xiu asked shamoko and Huang Hu to train their soldiers separately.


    After Liu Xiu dealt with the government affairs that needed to be dealt with by him, he ordered Wei Yan to take over the 5000 garrison of Xiangyang City. Wei Yan was not only outstanding in martial arts, but also proficient in training and marching. After taking over 5000 soldiers, he subdued them in a short time.


    The style of soldiers in the army also changed rapidly according to Wei Yan''s training.


    With Wei Yan in charge of the army, Liu Xiu was much more relaxed.


    On this day, Liu Xiu was chatting with Huang Yueying in the backyard when they expected the problem of paper. Liu Xiu just mentioned that he could improve Zuo Bo''s paper. Huang Yueying took it seriously.


    Huang Yueying got married, but her character didn''t change at all, especially in equipment manufacturing.


    As soon as she heard that the paper could be improved, Huang Yueying pestered Liu Xiu and asked about the main points.


    Liu Xiu had no choice but to write down the production process and key points in his mind, list them in detail, and then give them to Huang Yueying.


    Huang Yueying looked at it once, then kissed Liu Xiu and left quickly.


    Looking at Huang Yueying''s back, Liu Xiu is helpless. This wench, estimate also is such disposition. But it has to be said that Huang Yueying''s help to Liu Xiu is undoubtedly enormous.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    Outside the yard, Deng AI came in.


    After a ceremony, Deng AI arched his hand and said, "Mr. Zhang Ren, please see me."


    "Zhang Ren is here?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes show the expression of doubt, Zhang Ren has been in Xinye, how suddenly came to Xiangyang? Could it be that the situation in Nanyang County has changed.


    With a guess in his mind, Liu Xiu got up and went to the hall.


    In the hall, the guests and hosts are seated.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Zhang Ren''s face. Seeing Zhang Ren''s dignified face, he knew that his guess was probably true.


    Something happened in Nanyang County!


    In fact, Liu Xiu gave the control of Nanyang County to Zhang Ren and to Liu Zhang of Yizhou. His intention was to let Yizhou army resist Cao army and weaken Cao army first. Even if we can''t weaken the strength of Cao Cao''s army, we should at least delay the pace of Cao Cao''s army going south.


    Once Yizhou army has an accident, it means that Cao army may begin to attack.


    Zhang Ren''s expression has proved everything.


    Liu Xiu asked, "General Zhang, what happened to Nanyang County?"


    Zhang Ren was sitting anxiously, his eyes were eager, said: "Liu Jingzhou, Nanyang County situation is not guaranteed, please Liu Jingzhou send troops to help."


    Liu Xiu asked, "what''s going on?"


    Zhang Ren had a worried look in his eyes. He simply said that Zhuyang county had fallen, but he was ambushed when he attacked Wan county. Then he said, "this battle has failed, and my troops are insufficient. Therefore, please send troops to help as soon as possible. Yizhou and Jingzhou are allies. Liu Jingzhou, it''s up to you now. "


    Liu Xiu sneered in his heart. When you occupied Nanyang County, you didn''t say it was up to you. Instead, you rightfully occupied all the counties in Nanyang County. None of them was left to Liu Xiu.


    Now come and ask for help. I finally know who the brothers are.


    In particular, Liu Xiu knew Zhang Ren''s recruitment during his stay in Nanyang County.


    This time, nearly 10000 people were lost, but Liu Xiu estimated that there were at least 10000 troops under Zhang Ren''s command. With Zhang Ren''s troops, it is still possible to stay in Xinye for a period of time.


    However, Liu Xiu would not refuse directly. He nodded his head and said, "General Zhang, don''t worry, I will not sit by and ignore you. Yizhou''s business is Jingzhou''s business. General Zhang''s business is my official''s business. So please rest assured, general Zhang. "


    Zhang Ren nodded. Now he can only hope for Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said, "come on!"


    A soldier came in and saluted.


    Liu Xiu said, "please Pang Tong and Deng Zhan come to the prefecture for discussion."


    "No!"


    The soldier turned and went down to pass the order. Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Ren and said, "General Zhang, now Nanyang County is under threat. Don''t worry. I will discuss the plan immediately and start to support Nanyang County."


    "Good, good, that''s good. Thank you, Liu Jingzhou."


    Zhang Ren has a look of expectation in his eyes.


    Not long after, Pang Tong and Deng Zhan came to the hall together to salute.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "sit down!"


    Two people sit down, Liu Xiu briefly said the current situation of Nanyang County, and then said: "now I call you to discuss how to help Nanyang County."Deng Zhan''s eyes, nose, nose and heart, but he didn''t open his mouth. When it comes to marching, he didn''t participate.


    Pang Tong was embarrassed and said, "Lord, I''m afraid it''s difficult to support Nanyang County now."


    "What''s the difficulty?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Pang Tong sighed and said: "Zhang Ren''s eyebrows wrinkled, and his face became dim.


    Pang Tong continued: "second, even if the troops are deployed to support Nanyang County, there are no troops in Xiangyang now. Before Liu Bei attacked Xiangyang, he relied on the 8000 barbarians under shamoko. But now, most of shamoko''s barbarians have been arranged to go to Jiangxia county. Where else can Xiangyang have soldiers to support them? "


    Liu Xiu, however, was determined to support Zhang Ren, saying: "military division, what if the soldiers of the first army are transferred? Under the command of Wen pin, a part of the soldiers were transferred to support Nanyang County. "


    Zhang Ren felt a touch of joy on his face when he heard the speech. Looking at Liu Xiu''s eyes, there was a look of gratitude. It was Liu Xiu''s honesty that made him so friendly.


    Pang Tong was shocked and said: "Lord, the first army is responsible for the safety of the whole Nanjun county. Once Nanjun encountered a crisis, wenpin could quickly dispatch troops to suppress it. If we withdraw some soldiers from the first army, what if it will affect the overall situation of Jingzhou? "


    Zhang Ren said: "Pang Jun division, the current situation in Nanyang County is in crisis. It is really in urgent need of support. Moreover, the stability of Nanyang County means that Xiangyang City is stable, which means that Nanyang County is stable. Therefore, to some extent, the stability of Nanyang County must be maintained. "


    If we say that for the grasp of human nature, Zhang Ren is below the horizontal line. But if we talk about military affairs, Zhang Ren is definitely of high standard and not too bad.


    Liu Xiu, with a look of approval, said: "military adviser, I think general Zhang''s words are reasonable. Nanyang County is in crisis. I''m afraid Jingzhou will also be in crisis. "


    Pang Tong had a bad smile in his heart, and then said: "Lord, I have already analyzed what should be analyzed. It is the Lord''s business whether to dispatch soldiers to support us or not. I do not recommend dispatching soldiers, but the final decision is up to the Lord. "


    The right of choice was handed over to Liu Xiu.


    Zhang Ren looked at Liu Xiu, full of expectations.


    Zhang Ren was hopeful and said, "Liu Jingzhou, the stability of Nanyang County is very important. Therefore, according to this general, we should first dispatch some soldiers to Xinye county. As long as the Cao army is blocked, Jingzhou will have no worries. "


    Liu Xiu was silent and did not answer.


    Seeing this, Zhang Ren became anxious again for fear that Liu Xiu would refuse.


    After a while, Liu Xiu said, "General Zhang came to Xiangyang County in person. I can''t help him. In particular, general Zhang led the army in Nanyang County and helped Liu Xiu a lot. Today, my officer decided to send 5000 soldiers from the first army to support General Zhang. However, it will certainly take some time to dispatch soldiers from Jiangling County. Therefore, during this period, general Zhang should guard Xinye County well. I am sure I will arrive in the shortest time. "


    Zhang Ren gave a long sigh of relief and arched his hand: "thank you for Liu Jingzhou. Zhang Ren remembers Liu Jingzhou''s great righteousness. The war crisis in Xinye will have to go back immediately. Liu Jingzhou will be waiting for your good news in Xinye county. "


    "Good! Take your time


    Liu Xiu nodded and watched Zhang Ren leave.

 Chapter 345

    After Zhang Ren left the prefecture, Deng Zhan looked up at Liu Xiu with a worried expression. Although he doesn''t understand military affairs, he can distinguish between the enemy and ourselves. Although Yizhou and Jingzhou formed an alliance, Yizhou didn''t have any good intentions, but also for the sake of interests. If there had been no Nanyang County, Yizhou would not have sent troops.


    Now Nanyang County encountered problems, Zhang Ren came to help, why?


    Why does Jingzhou send troops without interests?


    Deng Zhan took a deep breath and asked, "Lord, do you really want to send troops to help Zhang Ren?"


    Liu Xiu and Pang Tong looked at each other, but they laughed at the same time.


    At that time, Deng Zhan was confused.


    What''s the situation?


    When the laughter stopped, Liu Xiu said, "it''s necessary to help Zhang Ren. Nanyang County can''t lose it."


    Pang Tong took over and said, "but the time of sending troops is uncertain. The Lord agreed to send troops to help Zhang Ren, but he only said that he would arrive as soon as possible, not when. So, does general Deng understand? "


    After hearing this, Deng Zhan thought about it for a while and said, "Lord, military division, does it mean that we first sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, first consume the troops under Zhang Ren''s command, and then lead the army to rescue at the critical moment?"


    "Yes


    Pang Tong''s face was full of smiles.


    "Wonderful! Wonderful


    Deng Zhan stroked his beard and looked at Liu Xiu and Pang Tong with admiration on his face. Deng Zhan and Pang Tong both received Liu Xiu''s notice temporarily, but the tacit dialogue between Liu Xiu and Pang Tong was a brilliant one.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "Deng Zhan, next, mobilize the royal guards to investigate the news of Nanyang County."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan nodded solemnly. He also knew that this battle was the key.


    Liu Xiu turned his eyes to Pang Tong and said, "Shiyuan, from Zhang Ren''s description of the war, I suspect that Cao Cao has arrived in Wan county."


    Pang Tong said: "I also agree with the Lord''s analysis. I also have this doubt. We have fought with Cao Ren. We can''t make such an accurate analysis just by Cao Ren. "


    "The reason why Zhang Ren failed is that the other side set up a good situation, even calculated what Zhang Ren would do every step, and beat Zhang Ren step by step."


    "Fortunately, Zhang Ren is also a valiant general. He has a good command of the army and is not in chaos in the face of danger. Only when he can command calmly can he escape from Jiyang County. Otherwise, Zhang Ren has died in battle."


    Pang Tong sighed: "only Cao Cao''s main advisers can set such a situation. The arrival of these people means that Cao Cao should go to Wan county and start planning Jingzhou and Jiangdong. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "wind and rain are coming!"


    In Pang Tong''s eyes, however, a touch of brilliance appeared, and he said with high morale: "Lord, although this war is extremely dangerous. But if we win this battle, it''s a chance to lay the foundation for our Lord. Cao Cao''s North seems to have been temporarily pacified, but there are many hidden dangers. Once Cao''s army was defeated in the south, it would certainly hurt its strength. At that time, the Cao army suffered from internal troubles. The Lord will have more opportunities to grow, and then the northern expedition to Cao Cao. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "this battle is the battle of Qi and fortune in Jingzhou."


    Deng Zhan listened to the dialogue between Liu Xiu and Pang Tong, but he was also excited. In his mind, he began to think about the scene when Liu Xiu defeated Cao Cao.


    Pang Tong thought about it and said, "the Lord wants to transfer 5000 soldiers. Is it true that he will transfer the soldiers of the first army?"


    Liu xiudao: "no, use Xiangyang soldiers. After Wei Yan arrived, he took over the soldiers in Xiangyang. At present, there are 5000 elite soldiers, so he used them. At the same time, Huang Hu''s Flying Tiger camp and shamoko''s barbarians are already a strong force. "


    Pang Tong said, "my Lord is wise!"


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "Shiyuan, go north to Nanyang County. In addition to resisting Cao Cao, I have another idea. "


    "What do you think?" Pang Tong asked.


    Liu xiudao: "I want to use this war to take Zhang Ren for my own use."


    Zhang Ren is a great general in both martial arts and ability. Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu is naturally reluctant to let go.


    Pang Tong frowned and said, "Lord, if you want to keep Zhang Ren, it means that you have to tear your face with Yizhou."


    Liu Xiu chuckled and said, "why?"


    Pang Tong said: "Zhang Ren is the general of Yizhou, and he is also in charge of Nanyang County. My Lord, this is the general under Liu Zhang. Can he be accepted by my lord? "


    Liu xiudao: "what if Liu Zhang gave up Liu Zhang on his own initiative?"


    As soon as this remark came out, Pang Tong''s eyebrows were picked. He was very clever. Liu Xiu''s words made Pang Tong understand. With a little smile, he said, "the Lord''s consideration is not impossible, but feasible. But in this way, there are a lot of things to do. "


    Liu Xiu smiles a little and says: "the focus is on Chengdu. If Liu Zhang takes the initiative to target Zhang Ren, things will be easier. My idea is to make use of this opportunity to let Zhang Ren and Cao Jun lose each other, let the people of the royal guards bribe the people around Liu Zhang, let them slander and let Liu Zhang deal with Zhang Ren. In this way, it will be much easier for me to recruit Zhang Ren. ""It''s not easy to achieve this," Pang said. At least, we need to persuade Zhang song to help. In addition, we should also use Fazheng to mediate. "


    After a pause, Pang Tong said, "it''s just the result of the disposal. It must conform to the expected purpose of the Lord. The best result was to dismiss Zhang Ren directly, and then Liu Zhang sent another person to Nanyang County. Almost as a result, Liu Zhang deprived Zhang Ren of his official position, then denounced Zhang Ren, and the Lord recruited him again. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "since we have to do it, naturally we should achieve the best goal. As a general, Zhang Ren can''t have no enemies in Yizhou, so as long as he incites, he can achieve his goal completely. "


    After that, Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and said, "Deng Zhan, you immediately order the royal guards of Yizhou to defeat Zhang Ren in Wan county and spread the news of the loss of Zhuyang County in Chengdu. Then, he bribed the people around Liu Zhang and Zhang Ren''s opponents to slander Zhang Ren, so as to achieve the goal of Liu Zhang''s dismissing Zhang Ren and reappointing generals to Nanyang County. "


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan nodded and sighed.


    Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren, you must not escape from the palm of the Lord''s hand.


    As a former general, Deng Zhan was very glad that he no longer led the army, but led the royal guards. In his mind, if he meets a counselor like Pang Tong, he doesn''t know how to die.


    Pang Tong said: "Lord, there is one more thing to pay attention to. In terms of time, I was the time when Liu Zhang sent someone to replace Zhang Ren in Nanyang County. He must arrive after the Lord and Wei Yan lifted the siege of Xinye. This kind of situation can also make Zhang Ren more grateful to the Lord. At that time, the chance of recovering Zhang Ren will be even greater. "


    Deng Zhan said with a smile: "don''t worry, military strategist. The royal guards can accomplish such a thing. If the other side is in a hurry, the speed of the royal guards will be delayed


    Pang Tong raised his thumb and said, "general Deng is a man of understanding."


    Deng Zhan saluted, then turned and left.


    Pang Tong said: "Lord, Cao Cao has gone south. His target must be Jingzhou and Jiangdong. But now, Jiangdong and Jingzhou are in opposition. Will we unite with Jiangdong in this war? Moreover, the death of Huang Gai and Han Dang, the surrender of taishici and Lu Su, and the killing of LV Meng all made the relationship between Jiangdong and Jingzhou very tense. In particular, Liu Bei is also in Jiangdong. It is very difficult for him to unite with the other side to resist Cao Cao. "


    Liu Xiu smell speech, eyebrow also a little more dignified. According to Liu Xiu''s original plan, the war with Cao Cao was definitely to unite with Jiangdong, but it''s really hard to say what the situation is now.


    Liu Xiu was silent for a moment, and said: "send Huang Zhong to spread the news of Cao Jun''s going south to Jiangdong, and then release the intention of alliance, which is worthy of Sun Quan''s reaction."


    "No!"


    Pang Tong nodded. At present, he can only do so.

 Chapter 346

    After Cao Ren won the first World War, he occupied Zhuyang County, and then directly attacked Ying county and Yin county.


    However, Zhang Ren stationed troops in Ying and Yin counties.


    These troops were all elite troops brought by Zhang Ren from Yizhou. They were not able to scare success by stationing troops outside the city. Especially when Cao Ren attacked Ying County, the garrison of Yin county was ready. In the crisis, Cao Ren was harassed, so that Cao Ren could not attack Ying county with all his strength.


    At this time, Cao Ren was very happy.


    Fortunately, the initial attack on Zhuyang county was as fast as thunder, so that the forces of Ying county and Yin County could not help. Cao Renjiu was unable to attack, so he gave up the two towns and sent soldiers to Zhuyang county. Then he publicized the news that Zhuyang county had been occupied, and led his troops back to Wan county.


    After returning to Wan County, Cao Ren went to visit Cao Cao.


    Cao Ren said: "prime minister, the last general captured Zhuyang County, but failed to take Ying County, Yin county and other places. Please punish the prime minister."


    Cao Cao put down his books and said, "it''s all right, judging from the fighting in Wan County before. This Zhang Ren is not simple. He escaped from Xu Huang and Jiyang County. He is very capable. I like this general very much. "


    The corner of Cao Ren''s mouth twitches and his heart says that the prime minister AI CAI has made another mistake.


    Cao Ren said, "prime minister, what should we do now?"


    Cao Cao said, "Cao Ren, before you ask, have you ever considered the strategy to defeat the enemy?"


    Cao Ren replied, "to the prime minister, what we are going to consider is that the army will go down to Xinye. After the first World War, Zhang Ren''s main force has been eliminated. When the main army arrived in Xinye and defeated Zhang Ren, the rest of the counties lost their backbone and were naturally attached to them, so it was hard to resist any more. "


    Cao Cao nodded and said, "since you have a plan, you can arrange it according to your own plan. The prime minister is in Wan county. He is only in the rear for you. You may March and set up the battle according to your own ideas. "


    "No!"


    Cao Ren was very excited.


    After Cao Ren left, Cao Cao sent someone to invite Xun you to the camp.


    Cao Cao said: "Gongda, Cao Ren has led the army to Xinye. You will send an order to Xu Huang. After Cao Ren leaves, we will follow him to Yuyang county."


    Yuyang county and Xinye County border, Cao Cao transferred the army to Yuyang County, obviously for Cao Ren.


    "No!"


    Xun you nodded and went down to arrange.


    go forward with great strength and vigour in the army. He has already led twenty thousand troops and has gone to Xinye county to kill. The army marched very fast. After arriving in Yuyang County, they took a rest for half a day. Then they marched quickly and went straight to Xinye.


    As soon as the 20000 troops entered Xinye, Zhang Ren got the news.


    Zhang Ren immediately mobilized the soldiers, and then quickly prepared to fight.


    At the moment, Zhang Ren stood on the tower, and his eyes also showed a worried expression. When Cao Ren came from Wan County, he led 20000 troops. With such a huge force, Zhang Ren even felt a sense of powerlessness.


    In the evening, Cao Ren''s army arrived at the north city of Xinye.


    Looking at the troops outside the city, Zhang Ren ordered the soldiers to be ready. However, Cao Ren did not order the attack at all, retreated five li and formed an array outside the city.


    At night, in order to prevent Cao''s attack, Zhang Ren also ordered the soldiers to patrol strictly.


    "Dong! Dong


    In the evening, the drums of war suddenly sounded outside the city.


    The sound came from inside and outside the city. Zhang Ren took a rest on the tower. After hearing the battle drum, he quickly got up, and then came to the tower and ordered the soldiers to prepare to resist.


    But after a long time, only drums were heard, and no soldiers invaded.


    Seeing this, Zhang Ren knew that he had been cheated.


    How to harass!


    Zhang Ren knew the tactics of the other side in his heart, but he could not judge when the other side would attack the city, or whether the other side would not attack the city at all.


    Zhang renphen told the soldiers to patrol, and ordered the bugle as the slogan of assembly. If there are any enemy soldiers outside the city, they can only summon the soldiers by trumpeting. Otherwise, no matter what, the soldiers will not have to worry about it.


    Zhang Ren gave the order, the rest of the soldiers are at ease.


    It''s just that the war drums are heard outside the city from time to time, which really makes the soldiers in the city not have a good rest. They are always awakened for a while, and it''s hard to really sleep.


    One night there was no attack, the next morning.


    The golden sunlight gushed out from the eastern sky, and a round of it still sounded.


    May sun, in the body, has a trace of heat.


    On the upper floor of Xinye County, soldiers gathered their spirits to welcome the beginning of the new day. Zhang Ren has blood in his eyes, but his spirit is very strong. Came to the tower, after a tour, Zhang Rencai began to wash and eat breakfast.


    In the morning, the sun is already high.


    "Dong! Dong


    The mighty drums of war suddenly sounded outside the city."Roar!"


    "Roar!"


    A roar, outside the city.


    With the sound of battle drums, the black soldiers, holding steel knives high, converged towards Xinye county. The dense soldiers could not see their heads at a glance, which made their scalp numb. The awe inspiring momentum is even more frightening.


    Zhang Ren saw the army outside the city, and finally came.


    With the approaching of the army, Cao Ren had been arrayed outside the city.


    Cao Ren sent a soldier forward and cried out: "Zhang Ren, general, you are ordered to open the city and surrender immediately. As long as you are willing to surrender, the general will personally recommend you to the prime minister. If you resist stubbornly, there will be no amnesty. "


    Zhang Ren roared: "this will be here, waiting for Cao Ren to attack the city."


    After the soldiers returned, Cao Ren''s eyes flashed a chill.


    Toast, no penalty!


    It''s time to kill!


    Cao Ren showed a touch of coldness in his eyes and ordered: "attack the city!"


    At the command, Cao Ren''s army, a catapult, siege car, cloud car began to drive out quickly. At the same time, a thousand vanguard soldiers immediately killed and went straight to the city tower of Xinye county.


    Xinye county is not a big county in Nanyang County, but under the governance of Liu Bei, after several reinforcement, the city is still tall. This city is not easy to seize.


    When Zhang Ren saw that Cao Jun was coming, he also ordered: "crossbow hand, prepare."


    At the command, a large yellow crossbow was set up on the upper floor of the city. Then the soldiers put on the crossbow and aimed at the siege vehicles and catapults outside the city.


    Zhang Ren bought the drawing from Liu Xiu and made the crossbow.


    Among the counties in Nanyang County, only Xinye county is equipped with 30.


    A moment later, Zhang Ren ordered: "launch!"


    At the command, a specially made crossbow and arrow were shot out quickly and went straight to the catapult and siege vehicle outside the city. The crossbow is powerful. Once it hits the catapult or siege vehicle, it will cause great damage immediately. Even after the soldiers outside the city were shot, they were directly penetrated.


    Cao Ren, sitting in the middle army, saw this scene, and his eyes showed a touch of coldness.


    When Cheng Yu went to Jingzhou to celebrate, he saw Liu Xiu''s weapon. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ren''s Yizhou army was also equipped with such weapons.


    However, even if there is a crossbow, it is hard to resist.


    With waves of soldiers approaching, a large number of Cao soldiers began to attack the city.


    One by one, the soldiers ran to the cloud car, and then quickly rushed to the tower of Xinye. When they rushed to the tower, they were killed. However, Zhang Ren was also well prepared, and his soldiers immediately resisted.


    At the same time, boiling water, rolling oil, wood, stones and so on, which had been prepared on the city tower, were constantly thrown down, killing Cao''s soldiers.


    In addition, a catapult also began to operate, bombarding Cao soldiers who attacked outside the city.


    On the upper floor of Xinye City, there are many fights.


    However, there was no sign of unrest in Zhang Ren''s command. Everything was under Zhang Ren''s control.


    On the first day of the siege, Cao Jun ascended the castle several times, but they were all beaten down by Zhang Ren without any benefit. On his first day, Zhang Ren sent only 1500 soldiers to the war. At the end of the day, more than 400 of these 1500 soldiers died, but there are still more than 1000 soldiers to fight again.


    The next day, Cao attacked the city again.


    On this day, Zhang Ren ordered all the soldiers who took part in the war on the first day to withdraw and replace them with the second group of 1500 soldiers to resist Cao''s attack again.

 Chapter 347

    The attack on the second day was even more tragic than that on the first day. On this day, Cao Ren intensified his attack. The number of casualties of 1500 garrison soldiers under Zhang Ren was more than 600.


    Fighting for two days in a row, for Zhang Ren, every soldier under his command died or injured, he was heartbroken.


    After Zhang Ren returned to Xinye City, there were only more than 10000 soldiers left in Xinye.


    Now, after two days of fighting, one tenth of his soldiers died, and almost three tenth of them were injured. Even Cao''s offensive is becoming more and more fierce day by day. If it goes on like this, his soldiers will not be able to stick to it for a long time.


    On the third day, Cao Ren''s attack was more fierce.


    Zhang Ren''s specially made crossbow has been used up, and all the stones used by the catapult have been used up.


    Garrison weapons are also being consumed in large quantities.


    On this day, Zhang Ren dispatched two thousand soldiers to guard the city. But there are only 5000 soldiers left under his command.


    The war continued, but Liu Xiu''s army did not appear.


    On the sixth day of the battle, Zhang Ren was even more worried. He had a stalemate with Cao Ren for six days, fighting hard every day. For six days in a row, Zhang Ren has lost a lot of weight.


    The fatigue of the body is not as heavy as that of the heart.


    Although the bows and arrows prepared in the city have been speeded up, they can''t keep up now and are almost used up. The rest of the equipment for guarding the city has been gone for a long time.


    This kind of fighting makes Zhang Ren tired both physically and mentally.


    For six days, Cao Ren also admired Zhang Ren. He didn''t expect Zhang Ren to stick to it so much that he didn''t leak. Such ability, Cao Ren is also very respected.


    At night, Cao Jun campsite.


    Cao Ren summoned the generals under his command, looked at the generals below, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Ren has been fighting for six days in a row. You should see from the fighting in the daytime today that Zhang Ren is at the end of his tether. His troops are no longer enough. Tomorrow, conquer Xinye and take Zhang Ren. "


    When the generals heard the words, they all spoke loudly to win Xinye city in the first World War.


    Compared with Cao Jun''s fighting spirit, the city floor, which was full of mottled blood at this time, was already a scene of desperation.


    Among the 10000 elite soldiers under Zhang Ren''s command, there are only 1500 soldiers left to fight. Moreover, these soldiers are all tired. After six days, they are already covered with scars. But the soldiers are still holding on.


    Zhang Ren is worried. If Liu Xiu can''t arrive tomorrow, Xinye county will fall.


    The fall of Xinye means the end of Nanyang County. Yizhou in Nanyang County area, also followed the failure, completely lost the opportunity to control Nanyang County.


    "Alas..."


    Zhang Ren sighed, holding his tired body, and went to inspect the city.

    Yuyang County, military camp outside the city.


    Cao Cao, Xun you, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Xu Huang and others are discussing the big account of the Chinese army.


    Cao Cao showed his appreciation in his eyes and said, "it''s been six days since the war, but Cao Ren hasn''t been on the castle yet. From this point of view, Zhang Ren is really excellent. He is not only good at marching, but also good at defending the city. You know, in the current situation, Xinye county is extremely dangerous. It''s really not easy for him to be able to garrison calmly. "


    Xun you said with a smile, "no matter how fierce Zhang Ren is, it''s hard for a skillful woman to make a meal without rice. According to the news from the front line, it is expected that Cao Ren will attack Xinye County tomorrow. "


    Cao Cao nodded slightly. He leaned forward and asked, "do you think Liu Xiu will come tomorrow?"


    Jia Xu said: "the battle of Xinye is not only related to the situation of Nanyang County, but also related to the situation of Jingzhou. Especially the battle of Xinye continues until now, the news should reach Liu Xiu no matter how. In addition, Zhang Ren and Liu Xiu had fought jointly before. I think Liu Xiu should be able to lead the army to support him. "


    "It''s just that if Liu Xiu arrives in Xinye County for support tomorrow, his mind may be to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. He wants Zhang Ren to consume both his Lord''s forces and Zhang Ren''s forces."


    Jia Xu said: "Liu Xiu is not easy to deal with."


    Referring to Liu Xiu, Cao Cao put a smile on his lips and said, "Liu Xiu''s second son has been in charge of Jingzhou since he was 20 years old in just over a year. Second son, you have great talent. "


    For Liu Xiu, Cao Cao is still unabashed appreciation, even if Liu Xiu ambitious, Cao Cao also very like.


    Cheng Yu smoothed the beard under his jaw and said, "I''m sure Liu Xiu will rescue Zhang Ren tomorrow, but it''s hard to predict how he will lead the army. But anyway, the prime minister has stationed troops in Yuyang county. Once Liu Xiu appeared, the five thousand elite cavalry under the prime minister could be used. Liu Xiu thought he could support Zhang Ren, but he didn''t expect that the prime minister was already waiting for him. "


    Cao Cao laughed and said, "yes, I can''t wait to meet Liu Xiu. When we meet for the first time, we should always give Liu Xiu a good gift and impression. These five thousand talents are gifts for him. "Xu Huang said: "don''t worry, my Lord. All the five thousand elite riders are ready to go. At the end of the war, he is ready to go out at any time. "


    Cao Cao nodded, his eyes full of expectation.


    ¡­¡­


    Xinye County ten miles south, an open valley in the mountains.


    Here, the terrain is open.


    After Liu Xiu and Wei Yan quietly left Xiangyang, he led the soldiers to ambush day and night. Five thousand elite of Wei Yan, and one thousand elite of Huang Hu and shamoko respectively. After entering Xinye, the 7000 soldiers hid in the valley.


    Beside the fire, Liu Xiu, Pang Tong, Wei Yan, Sha Moke and Huang Hu sat around.


    Pang Tong''s eyes twinkled with light, and said: "Lord, according to the information from the sentinel, Zhang Ren has persisted for six days, and his troops are almost exhausted. According to our calculation, Zhang Ren''s troops are almost the same. I''m afraid it will be difficult for Zhang Ren to persist in Cao''s attack tomorrow. Our soldiers, too, are ready to move. "


    Wei Yan was full of fighting spirit and said: "Lord, the final general is already ready. Five thousand elites will surely defeat Cao Ren in the first World War. "


    After six days, Cao Ren''s soldiers also suffered heavy losses.


    After six days of fighting, Cao Ren''s 20000 troops remained in good condition, only about 10000 of them, and the rest of them were injured more or less.


    Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said: "according to the news sent back by the royal guards, there is still an army stationed in Yuyang County, which should be Cao Cao''s soldiers. As for the large number of Cao Cao''s troops, they should be constantly dispatched. They will soon enter Wan County, and then Yuyang county. Tomorrow when we rescue Zhang Ren, we will definitely encounter Cao Cao''s interference. "


    Pang Tong looked confident and said: "Lord, according to the result of Zhang Ren''s defeat, the other side is an elite soldier. So tomorrow, Cao Cao will definitely send a message to stop the Lord. There is no doubt about that. "


    Liu xiudao: "now, let''s make a final deduction to avoid mistakes."


    After discussing with Pang Tong and Wei Yan, he carefully analyzed the strategy he had set before, and made sure that the strategy was correct before he stopped the deduction.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Hu and asked, "beard, do you know your task tomorrow?"


    Huang Hu Han Han laughed and said in a loud voice: "don''t worry, Lord. The flying tiger camp will never disgrace you. Although it''s a thousand Flying Tiger battalions, it''s absolutely complete. "


    Liu Xiu looked at shamoko and asked, "shamoko, do you remember your mission?"


    Weng Sha Ke''s voice is assured. The 1000 barbarians under the command of the last general are all elite, and they are all ready. "


    Liu Xiu nodded, waved his hand and said, "well, in this case, let''s have a rest."


    Moonlight in the valley, hazy moonlight shrouded, the valley is a layer of mist, as if a smoke cage in general. Liu Xiu closed his eyes to rest with his back against a big tree. His thoughts had already gone to the war tomorrow.

 Chapter 348

    In the morning, the sun rises.


    The golden sun fell on the bloodstained city floor, with the air of desolation and extermination. Today''s Xinye County tower is dilapidated.


    On the wall of the city, the East and the West were smashed out of potholes.


    There was a pile of corpses outside the city. The blood had dried up and the corpses were cold.


    On the city tower, Zhang Ren has already got up to wash. He has been trapped in Xinye County for six days. Zhang Ren looks at the soldiers stationed on the city tower with solemn eyes.


    The seventh day!


    However, Liu Xiu''s reinforcements have not come yet.


    In Zhang Ren''s prediction, if Liu Xiu''s reinforcements can''t arrive today, he will have to give up Xinye county. Otherwise, it can only be the result of the destruction of the city.


    "Dong! Dong


    The rumble of war drums came from outside the city.


    The sound, as if from the horizon, and then from far and near, closer and closer.


    "Kill


    Neat high pitched cry, also immediately spread.


    The dark Cao army is approaching.


    Zhang Ren immediately ordered: "Cao Jun is coming, ready to defend."


    At the command, the exhausted soldiers on the tower had to cheer up and begin to prepare quickly. Only at this time, there was only boiling water in big pots on the tower, and all the other timbers and rolling stones had been used up.


    Bows and arrows used by archers should also be spared.


    At this point, Zhang Ren is at the end of his tether, and is almost at the end of his tether. Zhang Ren has done his best to persist for such a long time.


    In less than half a quarter of an hour, Cao''s army was at the foot of the city.


    A cloud car, ladder, a siege car fast approaching, Cao Jun began to attack. The two sides took the city tower of Xinye County as the battlefield of battle and fought each other constantly.


    Cao Ren is commanding in the rear with sharp eyes.


    Today, he must break the city.


    Cao Ren constantly commands the soldiers to attack, seeing waves of soldiers rush up to the city tower, clenching their fists, with expectation in their eyes. But Zhang Ren''s defense is still quite rigorous, wave after wave on the tower of Cao Jun was beaten down.


    The towers that were occupied again and again were taken back by the soldiers guarding the city.


    Xinye County tower, has become a meat grinder.


    The soldiers put in by both sides are constantly consumed, and there is no return.


    Blood flow, the whole city building nearby, filled with a bloody smell.


    The battle lasted until noon, the sun was shining, and the garrison of Xinye county was exhausted.


    At this time, Cao Ren had no plan to withdraw and rest. He directly ordered the soldiers to attack, and did not give Zhang Ren a chance to slow down. If there are other soldiers under Zhang Ren''s command, he can order the rest of the soldiers to change their guard and let them rest. But now there is no such opportunity and time.


    Even if the soldiers were hungry, they could only support themselves.


    Once the soldiers are removed, the tower will be lost immediately.


    The only thing Zhang Ren can do now is to stick to it, nailing it to the city tower, and making sure to stick to it until the last breath. As long as there is a chance, Zhang Ren can''t give up.


    "General, it''s not good. Cao Jun''s soldiers rush up. Now they''re going to open the gate downstairs."


    "General, all my 100 soldiers have been killed."


    "General, I''ll take a step ahead of you. Ah... "


    On the tower, the situation has reached a precarious point. A soldier fell in the pool of blood, a general is no soldiers available, and Cao Jun is still in the overwhelming killing.


    Zhang Ren sighed in his heart, but he didn''t expect to rely on Liu Xiu in the end.


    In his mind, there was the situation when Liu Xiu asked for help from Yizhou. Liu Xiu went to Yizhou for help, but Liu Zhang refused at the beginning, and did not plan to send troops at all.


    Finally, because Liu Xiu took out Nanyang County, Liu Zhang agreed to send troops.


    Now, he just went to ask Liu Xiu to send troops without spending any money. It seems naive.


    Both sides are princes, naturally for the sake of interests.


    Liu Xiu is the leader of Jingzhou, and he can''t support him without any reason. Now think about it, I''m really naive. Although Liu Xiu had met him several times, he was not able to send troops to support him.


    Zhang Ren ordered: "ready to withdraw!"


    In desperation, Zhang Ren gave the order directly, and was already planning to retreat.


    "Cao Ren, Yi Yang, Wei Yan is here."


    All of a sudden, the orderly shouts resounded on the battlefield outside the city.


    Three thousand soldiers in order to shout, as if tearing the sky, the voice echoed inside and outside Xinye county. This momentum was even sharper, like a sharp sword, which wanted to pierce Cao''s army directly.


    When Zhang Rengang gave the order, he heard the cry from outside the city.


    "Reinforcements are coming!"


    Zhang Ren roared, with a look of ecstasy on his face."Brothers, hold on, hold on, Liu Jingzhou has sent reinforcements."


    Zhang Ren roared and ordered again.


    At this time, the soldiers of Xinye county were also in a good mood. One by one, with all their strength, they fought bravely with the Cao soldiers who attacked the city.


    At this moment, the morale of the soldiers guarding the city rose abruptly.


    The remaining thousands of soldiers, one by one, fought back and forth quickly, and chased the Cao soldiers who rushed to the city tower.


    "Kill


    On the tower, the shouting continued.


    "Kill


    Jingzhou soldiers outside the city also called out and quickly went to kill Cao Ren''s central army.


    Wei Yan has a black horse in his crotch, wearing armor and a sharp sword in his hand. The sword swung in the air, shining in the sun, flashing cold light.


    "Cao Ren, die!"


    Wei Yan gave a loud order. He took the lead and was extremely fast.


    Three thousand elite followed, but also a vigorous sprint.


    In the twinkling of an eye, he had already collided with Cao Ren''s Chinese army. Wei Yan swung the edge of the knife and cut it down. The light of Sen Leng passed in the air, and Cao Jun soldiers in front of him were killed on the spot.


    Wei Yan led 3000 elite, like a sharp cone, quickly penetrated into the army.


    Cao Ren''s eyes were calm. He immediately directed the soldiers to fight back.


    This battle lasted for six days, and now it is the seventh day. Cao Ren also knew that Liu Xiu might send troops to support him, so he took precautions early. Wei''s 1000 soldiers quickly closed his wings. In addition, Cao Ren knew that Cao Cao was still in the rear, and he would dispatch troops to intercept and kill Jingzhou soldiers.


    So even if Liu Xiu came to the rescue, it would not help.


    "Kill, kill Jingzhou soldiers."


    Cao Ren gave a loud order that he was still in the central army, commanding the soldiers under his command to gather and surround the Jingzhou soldiers.


    There are battlefields on the tower and battlefields outside the city.


    For a time, the sound of killing was even more shocking.


    Fifteen miles northwest of Xinye, on a broad official road. A brave and elite cavalry is ready. The leader was Xu Huang, a general under Cao Cao.


    Xu Huang, whose name is Gongming, was born in Yang County, Hedong.


    At the beginning, Xu Huang was a riding captain under Yang Feng''s account, who was once a subordinate of General Li Yi in Xiliang. After Dong Zhuo''s death, Li Shi and Guo Si fought each other. Yang Feng once assisted Li Shi to fight against Guo Si. After that, Yang Feng was recruited by the imperial court and separated from Li He.


    After Yang Feng followed the little emperor Liu Xie, Xu Huang also followed Yang Feng to Luoyang as an official.


    When Cao Cao welcomed the emperor into Xu county, Cao''s army defeated Yang Feng, and Xu Huang turned to Cao Cao.


    Under Yang Feng''s command, although Xu Huang was highly valued, he also suffered from suspicion. Under the command of Cao Cao, Cao Cao was not only good at employing people, but also Xu Huang, who was very generous in promotion.


    Even Cao Cao praised Xu Huang for his "Zhou Yafu style", which shows that it is not simple.


    Xu Huang''s military training attaches great importance to military discipline and appearance. Every move of his soldiers is forbidden, and no one will overstep it.


    Under the command of Cao Cao, Xu Huang''s soldiers are elite.


    In this battle of Xinye, Cao Cao''s plan was that once Liu Xiu sent troops to rescue, Xu Huang would lead 5000 elite cavalry to cover up and kill Liu Xiu''s reinforcements, and at the same time, crush the garrison of Yizhou soldiers.


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, a sentry came quickly.


    The sentinel came to Xu Huang and said, "general, Liu Xiu has sent troops to Xinye county. According to the investigation, this time Liu Xiu personally led the army to the rescue. "


    When Xu Huang heard the speech, he had a smile on his angular face.


    Liu Xiu came in person!


    That''s just right!


    This time, Liu Xiu was directly captured alive.


    Xu Huang took a deep breath, and with a clang, he pulled out his sword. Then he drove his horse to the side of the pipe and ordered, "let''s go!" A command, horseshoe sound like thunder, 5000 fine riding, quickly to Xinye county.

 Chapter 349

    On the border of Yuyang county and Xinye County, Cao''s camp was stationed.


    Cao Cao led the army and moved here.


    The terrain of this place is open, and the difficulty is that there are no mountains, forests and rivers around, so it is impossible to lay ambush. Under such circumstances, it is most suitable for garrison. The army under Cao Cao was stationed here.


    After many days, some of his troops have arrived.


    The military camp is full of military capacity.


    Cao Cao is reading a book.


    Outside the tent, a thin figure came in. Jia Xu came. After entering the tent, he bowed his hand and said, "prime minister, just got the news, Liu Xiu personally led the army to help Xinye county. But before that, I didn''t find out about Liu Xiu. Today, I suddenly appeared in Xinye county


    Cao Cao put down his book and asked, "Wenhe, what do you think?"


    Jia Xu said: "I''m afraid Liu Xiu has already arrived in Xinye County, waiting for Zhang Ren to consume Cao Ren''s troops. If he can''t bear it, he will rush to help again."


    As soon as Cao Cao brushed his sleeve, he said, "this thesis has been analyzed before."


    "What I want to know is, how do you think Liu Xiu will break this war? Liu Xiu is good at using troops. At the beginning, he may not have guessed that his prime minister was going south. If Zhang Ren only sticks to it for a day or two and Liu Xiu goes to the rescue, then Liu Xiu doesn''t know that his prime minister is going south, and Xu Huang''s elite is a surprise soldier who can defeat Liu Xiu in one go. "


    "The problem now is that Zhang Ren has persisted for six days, and today is the seventh day."


    "For so many days, the North has been constantly deploying troops to Nanyang County. Liu Xiu is very smart. Now he must know that the prime minister is coming. You said, "what will he do?"


    At this moment, Cao Cao has seen some clues.


    Jia Xu said: "prime minister, even if Liu Xiu knows. However, Xu Huang''s 5000 elite riders were killed in the past. It''s enough to crush Liu Xiu. Even if Liu Xiu guesses it, even sending troops to stop it will not help. "


    After a pause, Jia Xu said: "besides, there are tigers and leopards under the Lord''s command. Once Xu Huang''s five thousand excellent riders are hard to work, the tiger and leopard riders will be killed immediately, and Liu Xiu will be defeated. So I think Liu Xiu can''t break this situation. "


    Cao Cao laughed, did not speak, said: "we wait and see, I hope Liu Xiu do not let this phase disappointed."


    Jia Xu bows down and murmurs in his heart. The tone of the prime minister seems to be that he hopes Liu Xiu will break the game. Although Jia Xu also admitted that Liu Xiu was brilliant, when it comes to leading the army to fight, that''s another matter.


    ¡­¡­


    To the north of the county, Liu Xiu led the army to hold the battle.


    A royal guard soldier stood beside Liu Xiu and said, "my Lord, I just got the news. In the northwest of the county, I found Cao Jun''s report. At present, Cao Jun is approaching Xinye county. "


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he began to smile.


    The war has begun.


    Since Liu Xiu judged that Cao Cao was going south, he knew that rescuing Xinye was not so simple.


    Wei Yan went to the rescue, Cao Cao must kill.


    Therefore, this is a situation in which each of them is on the stage one after another.


    Liu Xiu led two thousand soldiers to hold the battle line, but his eyes still fell on Cao Jun and Jingzhou soldiers who were fighting in front of him. Wei Yan and Cao Ren lead the army to fight, the army has begun to break Cao Ren''s let go, the balance of war, a little bit closer to him.


    ¡­¡­


    Xu Huang came from the northwest. The cavalry ran and the horses neighed, and smoke and dust all over the place.


    On the official road, even the ground is shaking.


    The horses were on their way quickly, less than ten miles to the north of Xinye county. This place is a broad official road. On the right side of the official road is a stream. With the coming of summer, the river rises and the current is fast. On the left side of the official road is a hillside full of green grass. The mountain is not high, about ten feet, and the slope is very low.


    The width of the pipeline is about ten feet. Such a wide official road is the most suitable road for cavalry.


    On the hillside, shamoko lay in the grass.


    A soldier came quickly and reported: "general, here comes Cao''s cavalry."


    As soon as the spirit of shamoko was boosted, he said, "quickly, remove the boards on the ground immediately and prepare for the battle."


    At the command, the soldiers rushed out, rushed to the official road quickly, and then pulled out the boards on the ground. These boards are long strips, covered with soil, and covered on the ground. As the planks were pulled away, gullies three feet deep and one foot wide immediately emerged.


    On the official road, there are many ditches.


    The gullies are like small rivers, dividing the official roads into strips.


    Ten feet in front of the trench, there stood a hundred soldiers.


    These 100 soldiers are so upright on the official road, one of them is carrying a rhubarb crossbow, another is holding a crossbow and waiting quietly.


    "Boom!"


    On the straight official road, suddenly came the shocking sound of horse hooves.The ground vibrates when the iron hooves are trampled.


    "Ready!"


    One of the chief composers in charge gave a direct order, and they immediately lay on the ground, pulling the bowstring with one hand and pedaling on the big bow with one foot.


    In the twinkling of an eye, the official road ahead, there is a black pressure of inspiration.


    The Bowman immediately put on a special crossbow. The distance between the two sides was about 100 Zhang. The Bowman went directly to the room.


    "Whew! Whew


    With a sharp roar, 50 specially made crossbows were fired.


    The fifty crossbows started from the ground and went up obliquely. As they approached the cavalry, the front of the crossbow was right on the line of the chest.


    "Pooh! Poof


    The crossbow shot into the soldiers, punctured them on the spot and continued to move back.


    One crossbow is often enough to kill four soldiers, only then can it exhaust its power. Some of them are powerful and have a suitable angle. The number of soldiers killed with one arrow is up to six.


    On the spot, one by one, Qi Qi fell to the ground, and the front camp was in turmoil.


    A wave of crossbows and arrows caused more than 100 casualties.


    "Xiyuyu!"


    The horses hissed and ran wildly.


    The scream of the soldiers came immediately. Some of the soldiers who fell to the ground were seriously injured, but the horses rushed up and couldn''t escape. They were trampled to death.


    Xu Huang was in the army. When he found out, he gave a loud order: "charge, full speed charge."


    The speed of the horses was extremely fast. According to Xu Huang''s visual observation, the distance between the two sides was about 100 Zhang. As long as the horses sprint with all their strength, they will be able to rush up in just a moment. Once the distance gets closer, the opponent''s Crossbow will lose its function.


    "Whew! Whew


    The second wave of crossbows, again.


    This time, Cao Jun told us that he was ready and angrily drew his sword to resist.


    "Dang! Dang! "


    The sound of crashing is heard all the time.


    "Ah


    The shrill scream also came from time to time.


    After three successive rounds of crossbow and arrow shooting, the huge force of both sides has been drawn close to about 40 Zhang.


    Xu Huang was holding a hatchet in his hand. He roared: "charge, charge with all your strength." Xu Huang''s eyes showed a cold expression. Liu Xiu just wants to rely on more than a hundred crossbow soldiers, just like blocking, that is a fool talking in his dream, absolutely impossible to succeed.


    The fourth round of crossbow came, and the cavalry was shot again.


    Especially in the case of close range, many of the crossbows did not hit the cavalry because of their insufficient height, but many of the horses were killed. When the war horses were in chaos, the formation was even more chaotic, and the situation was even more dangerous.


    Rao is so, Xu Huang''s army is still no turmoil, quickly approaching.


    When the distance from the crossbow driver was only about 30 Zhang, the soldier in the front saw the situation in front of him. He was so surprised that he quickly reined in his horse and wanted to stop. But under the spurt of the war horse, it couldn''t stop at all. Under the momentum of inertia, the war horse immediately entered the area full of trenches.


    The horse ran fast and stepped into the ditch. The trench is about three feet deep. After the horse''s hooves enter, the horse''s body is out of balance and its center of gravity moves forward, so it can''t keep its shape.


    "Chaka! Click


    One horse''s hooves were broken, and then his huge bodies fell to the ground.


    "Boom! Boom


    The sound of constant impact resounds on the official road.


    The sound even covered up the sound of the incessant rushing water.


    The front horse rushed into the ditch, and the rear one immediately followed. In an instant, a trench makes a war horse broken, all fell to the ground.


    The cavalry with rigorous formation is in chaos and the situation is out of control

 Chapter 350

    If it is in the vast North, the world is wide. Once there is an ambush ahead, the 5000 cavalry under Xu Huang''s command can immediately change their formation, disperse completely, and then make a detour. But this is the south, where the mountains and rivers are all over, where the roads are narrower. On the left side of the official road is the river. The horses can''t rush into the fast flowing river. The only thing is the hillside.


    Xu Huang made a quick decision and said, "go up the mountain, all of them go up the mountain."


    After he gave the order, his soldiers immediately turned around and went up the mountain.


    Rao Shi and Xu Huang responded quickly. The front group of cavalry had been bumping together one after another. Under the constant impact, countless horses and soldiers were lost.


    Approaching from a hundred feet away, nearly 500 soldiers died under the crossbow.


    Just now, there was a trench on the official road, which led to the formation chaos. There was no place for cavalry to escape. There were at least 500 soldiers and horses in a series of collisions. Just in the battlefield, the casualties of his soldiers were close to 1000.


    Such a loss is unprecedented.


    This is the first time since Xu Huang led the fine riding.


    On the official road ahead, the archers were still shooting arrows and hunting Cao soldiers.


    Now, Xu Huang turns around and rushes up the hill quickly. Although this hillside is not high, it is full of weeds, and there is no forest. After the horses rush up, they can detour through the ditch in front, and then approach the Bowman in front.


    "Javelin, get ready."


    All of a sudden, at the top of the hill, shamoko gave a loud order.


    One by one, the barbarians came out with a four foot long, sharp javelin in their hands.


    "Shoot shoot!"


    Shamoko yelled, and in an instant, the javelin burst out like a rain of arrows.


    In the grass on the hillside, there are nine hundred barbarians under shamoko. These 900 barbarians are scattered on the hillside. With the help of the slope angle of the hillside, they can grasp the javelin one by one and throw it down. Their strength and speed are faster.


    "Brush! Brush


    The dense javelin swept across the air, and in an instant, it was already shot into Cao Jun''s report.


    This round of Javelin fall, only heard the sound of Pooh Pooh.


    Countless horses and soldiers were shot by javelin, and the cavalry who had just rushed up the hillside suffered a fatal blow. The cavalry silted up on the hillside was also shot by the crossbow. For a while, the loss was even more serious.


    Xu Huang''s mouth twitched and his eyes showed a touch of anger.


    Hateful!


    The other party had already decided that he was going to go to the hillside to break through the encirclement, so he had to wait for him.


    The first time he rushed up the hillside and was beaten down, Xu Huang roared: "they can''t have too many javelins. Go! Go up and kill the enemy. " Cao''s cavalry once again launched a sprint, quickly up.


    However, he saw shamoko shouting again: "javelin, prepare."


    One by one, the soldiers squatted down, picked up the javelin again, leaned back, roared and threw it out.


    "Brush! Brush


    A javelin, once again swept into the cavalry.


    The horses hissed and the soldiers screamed.


    Waves of Cao Bing fell to the ground again. The battle horses are in disorder, and the formation is even more chaotic.


    Xu Huang was at a loss. Unexpectedly, he was blocked here. But he didn''t admit defeat. He didn''t believe that the other side could rely on his expression all the time. Xu Huang told the soldiers to continue to charge, as the distance drew closer.


    It''s not long. It''s less than ten feet away from the top of the mountain. At this time, they saw that the soldiers on the mountain actually moved out big round stones and rolled down directly.


    "Boom!"


    The stone rolled and attacked fiercely, hitting the hooves of countless horses.


    In an instant, all the horses just approaching the hillside suffered.


    The horses fell and the soldiers were crushed.


    Shamoko''s face was cold. The location was selected by the Lord and commander Pang himself, and he had already made preparations for it. He had already deduced it countless times. So he stood in the way and easily resisted each other.


    "Withdraw, withdraw immediately."


    Xu Huang was helpless. He was unable to conquer the hillside in front of him and break through the gully in front of him, so he had to retreat temporarily.


    When shamoko saw it, he burst into laughter.


    However, shamoko did not pursue and remained in the same place. There was a smile on his face. If the other side attacked again, he would send troops to fight head-on, because the defense equipment on the mountain was almost used up.


    Xu Huang retreated five li and returned to the place where he had been stationed at the beginning.


    He immediately counted the soldiers and counted them. Only 3200 soldiers came back, including hundreds of soldiers who lost their horses.


    It can be said that the loss of this war is huge.


    "Damn it


    Xu Huang''s eyes showed a serious look.


    "Step on it! Step on itSuddenly, behind the official road, came the sound of footsteps.


    Xu Huang looked back, but Xu Chu led an army to kill him. Xu Chu saw one by one seriously injured cavalry, his face showed surprised expression.


    Xu Huang''s defeat is a rare event.


    Xu Chu brought the soldiers to Xu Huang and asked, "Gongming, what''s the matter? How could your elite cavalry be badly damaged? The prime minister estimated that you had already begun to fight with the soldiers sent by Liu Xiu, so he filmed me to add a fire to completely crush Liu Xiu''s soldiers. I didn''t expect you to lose. "


    Xu Huang sighed and said, "Zhong Kang, the Jingzhou soldiers in front of us are not simple."


    Immediately, Xu Huang gave a brief account of the situation just now.


    After hearing this, Xu Chu was also surprised and said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu is really cunning. His action is clearly aimed at the cavalry. If your horses can''t rush up, they can''t get close to each other. "


    Xu Chu said: "I lead a thousand elite to go ahead, and your cavalry will follow. Compared with cavalry, although infantry is less effective, it is more flexible. As long as my vanguard approaches, your cavalry can rush through


    "Well!"


    Xu Huang nodded, and then mobilized the army to move forward again.


    The journey of Wuli road didn''t take much time. Soon, the group had fallen into the ditch in front of them. By the time they arrived, however, shamoko had already led the troops to withdraw, leaving only one body on the ground, and even the crossbows and arrows on the ground had been taken away.


    "Gone?"


    Xu Huang''s eyes showed an expression of surprise.


    Xu Chu also had a strange look on his face. He looked at Xu Huang and said, "Gongming, I''m not smart enough to understand the situation. Tell me, what''s the situation now. "


    Xu Huang frowned. Now he didn''t know what tricks Liu Xiu was playing. But Xu Huang can''t stop moving forward just because everyone is here. He looked at Xu Chu and said, "Zhong Kang, no matter what, now we have to go to Xinye county. No matter what tricks Liu Xiu has, he has to continue to fight. Let''s go. Keep going. "


    Xu Chu nodded, then with a thousand talents, he went to Xinye county.


    To the direction of Xinye County, after walking through this wide official road, the road is more and more narrow, and there are woods everywhere. A thousand foot soldiers and more than three thousand cavalry are winding like a long snake across the official road.


    Qili road from the county seat is a river.


    The river is fast, and a wooden bridge is erected over the river.


    The river is about two feet wide and the bridge is about three feet away.


    Xu Huang and Xu Chu had to cross the bridge to go to Xinye county. As Xu Huang approached the bridge, he stopped Xu Chu and said, "Zhong Kang, Liu Xiu is working step by step. We have to think about it. If something goes wrong on the bridge, I''m afraid we will fall into the river immediately. Our soldiers don''t know water sex. Once they fall down, it''s bad. "


    There was also a touch of worry in Xu Chu''s eyebrows.


    This battle is a poor one.


    Xu Chu''s eyesight was excellent. He set his eyes on the mountains on the other side of the river. Vaguely, I saw the leaves shaking in the forest, as if there were ambush in it.


    Xu Chu said in a low voice, "Gongming, do you see the ambush in the forest opposite?"


    At this time, Xu Chu was also worried.


    Once the ambush is hidden in the opposite mountain forest, once their own people cross the bridge, they will be attacked immediately. Especially when the bridge is narrow, it will cause congestion and even damage to the bridge.

 Chapter 351

    Xu Huang''s eyes also fell on the opposite mountain forest, also found the shaking leaves, as well as constantly accumulating figures.


    This scene also worried Xu Huang.


    Originally, Xu Huang thought that this war should be easy, but now it seems not so easy. If he doesn''t cross the bridge to Xinye now, he will surely lead to Cao Ren''s defeat and fall into crisis, and Cao Ren will be killed by Liu Xiu.


    Xu Chu did not know how to make up his mind. He asked, "Gongming, what should I do now?"


    Xu Huang clenched his teeth and said, "cross the bridge!"


    "Ah


    Xu Chu''s eyes showed an incredible look.


    Now cross the bridge, but there is ambush on the opposite side.


    Xu Huang said in a deep voice: "Zhongkang, if we don''t cross the bridge, then Cao Ren will become a lone army. When the time comes, Cao Ren will be covered up and killed. If anything goes wrong, can you and I afford it? Besides, we have 3000 elite riders and 1000 elite riders under your command. Even if Liu Xiu has ambush, we can fight. So I decided to cross the bridge


    After hearing this, Xu Chu thought about it, and his face showed hesitation.


    Now, Xu Chu also has some regrets.


    Although he is a military general, his heart is quite delicate, and he is a type of great skill as clumsy. This time, I wanted to defeat Liu Xiu to win the war, but I didn''t expect to encounter such a situation.


    "What shall we do?"


    Xu Chu also hesitated.


    A moment later, Xu Chu said, "OK, cross the bridge!"


    After they agreed, they ordered to cross the bridge.


    The infantry crossed the bridge first, then lined up on the opposite bank, followed by 3000 cavalry. After all the cavalry had crossed the bridge, there was still no movement.


    "Well, it''s a bluff."


    Xu Chu sneered and said, "Gongming, fortunately we crossed the bridge. Once we stop at the other side, then we will really fall into Liu Xiu''s trick. He did it on purpose, just to scare us. Liu Xiu is too cunning. "


    "It is!"


    Xu Huang''s heart is also a burst of happiness, fortunately he chose to cross the bridge.


    "Go to Xinye county."


    After Xu Huang gave the order, the team quickly went on their way, and soon disappeared beside the cheers. At this time, the shadow in the forest disappeared, and a group of soldiers rushed out. The first one was shamoko. He came to the side of the bridge with the bone flower of Tribulus terrestris in his hand. He swung the bone flower of Tribulus terrestris and smashed it down.


    "Boom!"


    With a crash, a big hole appeared in the wooden bridge.


    At the same time, the accompanying soldiers are also struggling to chop.


    After a while, the bridge collapsed. It is not easy to cross the river in a short time.


    Shamoko laughed and said, "the task arranged by the Lord has been completed. Let''s withdraw."


    A group of people into the forest, they quickly retreat.


    Xu Huang and Xu Chu led the soldiers to the county seat of Xinye county. They had just walked less than two miles, when they could see the city tower of Xinye county. Suddenly, Xu Huang stopped.


    Xu Chu asked, "Gongming, what''s the matter?"


    "Bridge!"


    Xu Huang said, immediately called a soldier, and said: "you immediately ride your horse back to see if the bridge is still in good condition?"


    "Yes


    The soldiers were ordered to fly back.


    Xu Chu''s eyes also showed a look of thinking, he suddenly said: "Gongming, you are worried that the bridge will be destroyed."


    Xu Huang nodded, his face dignified, quietly waiting.


    Shortly after, the soldiers rode back and reported: "general, the bridge in the rear has been destroyed. Now it''s very difficult to cross the river. "


    Xu Huang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Zhong Kang, this time, I really met my opponent."


    "Is it Liu Xiu''s plan again?" Xu Chu asked.


    Xu Huang replied: "Liu Xiu is indeed Liu Xiu. The plan is really one link after another. If we don''t cross the bridge, we can defeat Cao Ren easily with Liu Xiu''s troops. He and Zhang Ren can easily meet. "


    "On the contrary, if we cross the bridge, Liu Xiu will start the next plan, destroy the bridge, cut off the prime minister''s contact with us, and make it difficult for the prime minister to support us."


    "Under such circumstances, like Cao Ren, we have become isolated."


    "Although we have an elite, we are still alone in the final analysis. I''m sure Liu Xiu has set up an ambush in front of us, or he''s already waiting for us. "


    "Liu Xiu''s plan is really amazing."


    "But it''s frightening."


    At this moment, Xu Xiu''s plan is clear in his mind.


    In fact, Liu Xiu''s and Pang Tong''s strategies did take this into account. In Liu Xiu''s plan, Cao Cao may send Xu Huang to support, but it is difficult to guarantee Xu Huang''s victory. Therefore, Liu Xiu decided that Cao Cao may also send a second support Army to kill Xu Huang.As soon as this army appeared, Cao Cao''s ambush had been exhausted.


    However, Liu Xiu was not at ease, so he made a dividing point in the position of the bridge.


    Once the other side crossed the bridge, the bridge would be cut off, making Cao Cao''s follow-up forces unable to support in a short time, completely cutting off the contact between Cao Cao and his soldiers.


    After hearing this, Xu Chu said, "Gongming, no matter what, we can only move on. As long as we are careful, there will be no problem. "


    Xu Huang nodded and ordered to move on.


    When Xu Huang approached Xinye County, Wei Yan led 3000 elite soldiers to fight with Cao Ren.


    After a battle, Cao Ren led his army to flee to the direction of the barracks, and ran away. But Huang Hu had been waiting for a long time. After he led the army to kill, he directly defeated Cao Ren''s soldiers. Huang Hu holds the golden hammer of drum beating Weng and pounces on Cao Ren. However, Cao Ren runs faster than a rabbit. He has lost his shadow and finally runs away.


    Cao Ren fled, and the crisis in Xinye county was temporarily relieved.


    after Liu Xiu and Zhang Ren met, they asked Zhang Ren to count the battlefield, and left Wei Yan to garrison the city. They took Huang Hu''s army to the northern official road, and then lined up on the official road.


    Behind Liu Xiu, Huang Hu and his 1000 Flying Tiger camp stand in order.


    After shamoko came back first, he also led the army.


    Two thousand soldiers were arrayed in a fierce battle.


    This site is different from the previous one. On both sides of the official road are open official roads with flat terrain. Liu Xiu''s troops here are not hidden at all. Even there is no hidden opportunity for such a location.


    The news soon spread to Xu Huang.


    When Xu Huang heard the news from the sentinel, he frowned. When he heard that Liu Xiu was waiting in a swaggering array, the first reaction in his mind was that Liu Xiu set up an ambush. Especially in this kind of place, fighting with cavalry is like looking for death. With Liu Xiu''s cunning, it is impossible to make such a mistake.


    Xu Chu''s face was dignified, but he knew he couldn''t step back and said, "Gongming, Liu Xiu will make a mystery. Let''s go. We''re going to kill it anyway. "


    "Well!"


    Xu Huang nodded and led the soldiers on.


    After walking about two miles around a turning point, Liu Xiu''s array had fallen.


    You can see the city from here.


    However, the black soldiers in front of the array are reflected in Xu Huang''s eyes. When he was only a hundred feet away from Liu Xiu, Xu Huang waved to the soldiers to stop, then with a mountain axe in one hand and a horse reins in the other, he drove the horse forward.


    Less than 20 Zhang away from Liu Xiu, Xu Huang stopped.


    He fell on Liu Xiu, and he said in a loud voice: "Liu Xiu, the prime minister sent his troops to the south, and no one can stop them. If you surrender now, the prime minister will recommend you to his majesty so that you can be reused. "


    Liu Xiu didn''t expect that Xu Huang had such courage to come up alone. He laughs and replies: "it''s better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a Phoenix."


    In a word, Liu Xiu has given the answer.


    After a pause, Liu Xiu continued: "Xu Huang, my soldiers have been arrayed, not far from you. As long as you give orders, you can attack. Now, don''t you order the attack? Or are you worried that soldiers will be ambushed? How can I ambush you on this broad official road? It''s impossible. "


    The words of explanation give people a feeling that there is no silver here.


    Xu Huang was more cautious in his mind. He looked around. The terrain around the official road is open, and when he came, he did not encounter a trench. It is reasonable to say that it is impossible to set an ambush.

 Chapter 352

    Xu Huang said: "Liu Xiu, do you really think that you will not dare to fight?"


    Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Oh, General Xu wants to fight. I''m really scared. General Xu, do you think I will worry about cavalry? Well, you think so much. "


    "Yellow tiger, change the battle!"


    With a wave of his hand, Liu Xiu immediately gave the order.


    In an instant, the formation of the flying tiger Battalion soldiers under Huang Hu''s command changed. The soldiers in the outermost array directly picked up a shield from the ground and then stood on the ground. Then, the soldiers squatted down and picked up the long gun on the ground.


    A long gun slants to the front, and the long gun array takes shape immediately.


    Liu Xiu said: "Xu Huang, your inspiration is really brilliant, but Jiangnan trail, official road is only so wide, my elite blocked on the official road. Even if the cavalry were directly mounted, they could not break the battle. As soon as you can''t break the battle, all your Qi will collide with each other. Do you think the rest of your cavalry will be useful


    "I advise you, where you come from and where you go back."


    "The war in Xinye is crazy. You can''t take part in it. Leave early."


    Liu Xiu suddenly put his hand on his forehead and said, "Oh, I just remembered that the bridge behind has been destroyed. You''re going to withdraw now. I''m afraid you''ll have to swim one by one. Ah, if I had known that, I should have kept a bridge for you to retreat safely. "


    Provocation!


    Liu Xiu''s words are totally provocative.


    It''s even arrogant!


    Xu Huang stares at Liu Xiu and suddenly laughs. He says in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, you are so arrogant and arrogant. Do you really think that Ben will be afraid of your long gun array?"


    Liu xiupai pointed to the cavalry of the flying tiger camp and asked aloud, "what do you do when you meet Cao Jun?"


    "Kill


    Huang Hu didn''t even think about it and answered directly.


    The rest of the soldiers answered neatly.


    A thousand sharp and neat shouts and one killing word reveal Liu Xiu''s means to Cao Jun.


    Xu Huang snorted, then clapped his horse back, but there was a sneer on his face. It''s a big mistake for Liu Xiu to expose his means and think that he can resist with a long gun array. The excellent cavalry under his command can''t be compared with ordinary Qi Qi.


    Xu Chu looked at Xu Huang and said in a deep voice, "Gong Ming, although Liu Xiu said he did not lay an ambush. But be careful. Why don''t I fight for a while and see if Liu Xiu has any ambush. "


    Xu Huang asked: "the other side put down a long gun array, Zhong Kang, are you sure your infantry can win?"


    Xu Chu''s soldiers were also elite.


    However, one by one, armed with steel knives, will not only be unable to break through the long gun array, but will be stabbed and killed by the other party, only to be stabbed into a sieve.


    Xu Chu frowned and said, "but I always think Liu Xiu is not a good bird."


    Xu Huang said: "Liu Xiu''s reliance should really be a long gun array. Although this place is wide, the roads are still too narrow for the cavalry to fully release their fighting power. He has a long gun array and can have this confidence. However, in this war, he will definitely lose. "


    After a pause, Xu Huang said: "once you lead the army to fight first, I can''t lead the army to fight again. Cavalry is indiscriminate. At that time, it''s hard for you to avoid. My soldiers can''t let go of their hands and feet. They will be tied. So, let me fight. Once the cavalry under my command breaks up the gun array, you immediately wave your troops to cover up. "


    Xu Chu nodded and said, "yes, you should be careful."


    Xu Huang took a deep breath. Instead of using his sword, he simply raised his axe and ordered: "kill!"


    At the command, his men immediately spurred.


    "Xiyuyu!"


    The war horse hisses, 3000 fine riding spurs.


    "Da! Dada


    The sound of the horse''s hooves, immediately connected into a piece, splashing a ground of smoke, fast running. Nearly 3000 horses raced, as if it were a tsunami, causing the ground to shake.


    When Liu Xiu saw this, his eyes were filled with admiration.


    Three thousand horses!


    Such a big hand can only be given to Cao Cao.


    Even for Cao Cao, 3000 war horses are a small part of Cao Cao''s countless war horses. When Cao Cao unified the north, he swept Wuhuan and Xianbei, and captured countless horse farms and horses.


    But for Jingzhou and Jiangdong, 3000 war horses are already a huge number.


    Liu Xiu rode his horse to the edge of the official road. With a wave of his hand, Huang Hu''s Flying Tiger camp gun array immediately moved to the official road.


    This scene reassured Xu Huang.


    It turns out that Liu Xiu really didn''t lay an ambush. It seems that Liu Xiu is too young after all. So arrogant.


    The sound of the horse''s hooves was like thunder, and three thousand horses kept approaching.


    Once the horse begins to sprint, the distance of 100 Zhang is the distance of a moment.Eighty feet!


    Fifty feet!


    Thirty feet!


    ¡­¡­


    The battle horse in the front is getting closer and closer to the gun array.


    At the same time, Xu Huang''s war horses have quickly entered the battlefield.


    Fifteen feet!


    At this time, the distance between the battle horse and the gun array is only 15 Zhang!


    The gun array under Huang Hu''s command has even put up a shield, and then the big gun points obliquely to the front. The soldiers in the front row have gathered up their strength to be ready.


    But at this moment, Liu Xiu suddenly ordered: "beat the drum!"


    "Dong! Dong


    All of a sudden, the forceful sound of war drums suddenly sounded on the battlefield.


    The drum sounds like thunder, abrupt and shocking.


    When Xu Huang was in the rear, he heard the other side''s war drums, and his eyes kept turning, looking at the whole battlefield. His eyes suddenly contracted.


    The edge of the battlefield, in turn, suddenly emerged from the ground a soldier.


    These soldiers actually pulled up the stumbling rope buried on the ground.


    There are soldiers on both sides of the official road pulling the stumbling rope, especially after the stumbling rope is pulled up, the iron tribulus tied on it shows its true appearance. With the stumbling rope immediately stretched straight, the sprint horse was stumbling, then lost control and fell forward.


    From about ten feet away from the gun array, there was a stumbling rope every five feet. On both sides of each stumbling rope, there were five soldiers pulling each. As a result, after the stumbling horse was straightened, all the horses entering the battlefield were affected.


    "Boom! Boom


    The horses kept falling to the ground.


    "Xiyuyu!"


    The horses hissed, and the whole battlefield was in a mess.


    Xu Huang''s 3000 cavalry, constantly collision, constantly fall, once lost the momentum of the sprint. The ten or so fighting horses at the front broke through the stumbling block and got close to the gun array. However, such a weak fighting horse could not form combat effectiveness at all. As soon as he rushed up, he was directly killed by the gun array.


    Liu Xiu stood aside, looking at the scene in front of him, smiling.


    Xu Huang, what a cheat!


    Once Xu Huang and cavalry formed a gun array, although the gun array can resist. However, once there is a gap in the gun array, or it is broken through, it is immediately reported to be slaughtered.


    Liu Xiu would not commit such a risk.


    Therefore, the role of gun array is only to paralyze Xu Huang and prepare for the next harvest victory.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "Huang Hu, lead the troops to kill."


    "Yes


    Huang Hu answered and began to lead the soldiers forward.


    As the soldiers of huanghufeihu camp rush out, among the soldiers holding the stumbling rope, the soldiers on the left side all backhand, and the soldiers on the right side quickly take away all the stumbling rope, so as to avoid the soldiers of Feihu camp rushing up and stepping on the stumbling rope.


    In the blink of an eye, the soldiers of the flying tiger camp went up with long guns.


    One by one, Cao''s soldiers fell to the ground, and just got up, they were met by sharp spears. A long spear went down and was stabbed to death.

 Chapter 353

    When Xu Huang saw the defeat of his soldiers and the destruction of all his cavalry, he was so angry that his eyes were splitting.


    Hateful!


    Liu Xiu is a cunning guy!


    This time, I cheated him and laid an ambush.


    Stumbling!


    This is the simplest and most common weapon, but also the most practical weapon, but now it has become a life-threatening weapon.


    Xu Chu''s eyes widened. He didn''t expect such a scene to happen.


    Xu Chu thought for a moment, and his eyes fell on Liu Xiu again, with a touch of shock in his eyes. He thought very clearly that if he took the lead in leading the soldiers under his command to attack, even though he broke the gun array under Liu xiubu, because of the close combat between the two sides and the narrow terrain, it was impossible for the cavalry to attack in a roundabout way, so the 3000 cavalry under Xu Huang''s command would be scrapped.


    Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu is still a winner.


    If Xu Huang was the first to lead the cavalry to attack, Liu Xiu would start a stumbling block, defeat 3000 cavalry at one stroke, and then launch an attack. Of course, Liu Xiu is most willing to see this result. Because he defeated the cavalry first, the 1000 elite under Xu Chu''s command had no advantage.


    Xu Chu took a deep breath and said in a loud voice, "Gongming, there is only one way. To catch the thief, first catch the king, then we will rush to kill him, and then you and I will run to Liu Xiu. As long as Liu Xiu is won, no matter how many soldiers are lost in this battle, it is worth it. In the end, the war will still be won. "


    Xu Huang said, "this is the only way. Brother Zhongkang, success or failure depends on this. Order."


    Xu Chu raised a long knife in his hand and roared: "kill!"


    An order was given, and a thousand elites were killed immediately.


    Xu Chu and Xu Huang took the lead and rushed to the front. Their martial arts are superb. After sprinting forward, it quickly shortened the distance.


    At this time, Huang Hu is holding the golden hammer of drum beating Weng, and his eyes fall on Xu Huang. Huang Hu didn''t know Xu Chu, but when he looked at the war situation, he saw Xu Huang stand up.


    Preconceived, Huang Hu directly thinks that Xu Huang is the chief General of the army, so he wants to capture Xu Huang alive.


    "Xu Huang, Huang Hu is here. Take life."


    The deputy commander in chief left the gun to the commander in chief Huang. He took the lead and rushed to Xu Huang with a golden hammer.


    The huge drum beating Weng''s golden hammer swung in the air, whistling at Xu Huang.


    At this time, Huang Hu is on foot.


    Xu Huang straddled the horse, his legs between the horse''s belly, and sat steadily. When he saw Huang Hu''s body as big as a cow, Xu Huang said in his heart that he was a big man. However, Xu Huang did not have the slightest left hand, with the help of the power of the horse sprint, the hand of the axe directly split.


    "Whew!"


    The blade of the axe fell down and cut through the air. It howled fiercely.


    The two men''s weapons collided in an instant.


    "Dang!"


    The harsh sound makes the eardrum ache.


    Xu Huang''s face changed greatly. His hand holding the axe was numb and painful, and his mouth seemed to be torn. Under the impact of powerful force, the mount under Xu Huang''s hip bears a lot of force, and Herod hisses loudly.


    How overbearing!


    Xu Huang was shocked in his heart, but he couldn''t let it go. Huang Hu once again swung the golden hammer of the drum jar and tried his best to wave it.


    "Cape hammer, kill!"


    The golden hammer left a shadow in the air and hit the horse''s head in an instant.


    "Boo!"


    With a hammer, Xu Huang''s horse was killed.


    Xu Huang fell from his horse and rolled twice before he stood up.


    Two Cao soldiers rushed up to attack Huang Hu, only to see that Huang Hu''s drum beating Weng''s golden hammer swept by as easily as a feather. It''s like brushing the dust. It''s very easy, but Cao Jun''s soldiers are smashed in the chest, but their bones are broken and their chests are sunken.


    Xu Huang stood up, gritted his teeth, held the axe, and welcomed Huang Hu again.


    When Xu Chu found out Xu Huang''s situation, he turned and rushed to Xu Huang. However, he heard Xu Huang say in a loud voice: "Zhong Kang, catch the thief first, catch the king, break the shooting array first, and catch Liu Xiu."


    After hearing this, Xu Chu clenched his teeth, put aside Xu Huang, and led his 1000 elite soldiers to rush forward quickly.


    Many of the elite cavalry that had fallen to the ground had stood up and joined the sprint. All the soldiers follow Xu Chu and sprint quickly.


    Soon, he and the soldiers of the flying tiger camp were fighting.


    Xu Chu had a long knife in his hand. The blade of the knife was sharp. After he rushed up, he chopped it down. It was like the beginning of a new era. He directly broke through the gun array and took the soldiers to fight forward.


    After the gun array was broken, it lost its function.


    The soldiers of the flying tiger camp gave up their long guns, pulled out their steel knives, roared and fought hard. This change, without the clumsiness of gun array, became extremely flexible.


    One by one, the soldiers of the flying tiger camp kept fighting with Cao Jun.


    Xu Chu raised his sword and kept approaching Liu Xiu, trying to get close to him.At this time, Huang Hu and Xu Huang are at war.


    "Create the world, kill!"


    Xu Huang roared and swung his mountain axe to kill Huang Hu again.


    The blade of the mountain axe is shining with cold awn, which is very impressive.


    Huang Hu swung the drum beating Weng''s golden hammer to resist. He seemed very relaxed. He also said, "you can''t shake the tree without self-confidence." As soon as he swept through the air, he easily knocked open Xu Huang''s axe.


    "Taishan hammer, kill!"


    The move in Huang Hu''s hand changes, and the golden hammer in the drum jar locks Xu Huang and smashes him down.


    A hammer hit, as if Taishan top.


    The power of no match is brewing on Xu Huang''s golden hammer.


    Xu Huang knew that this blow must be like a storm. He quickly stepped back two steps in a row. But he retreated and Huang Hu immediately caught up with him. He could not avoid Huang Hu''s pursuit.


    In desperation, Xu Huang turned his defense into an attack and swung his axe to meet him.


    Huang Hu''s mouth rose and he had a smile in his eyes. As long as Xu Huang confronts with him, he will surely lose.


    "Boom!"


    The impact of weapons made a huge noise.


    "Ah


    Xu Huang screamed, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. The mountain axe in his hand was also split out and fell directly to the ground.


    Big body, fell to the ground.


    Xu Huang''s face was defeated, and there was no spirit in his eyes. He was hurt by Huang Hu''s move.


    "Vulnerable!"


    Huang Hu rushes up, intending to take Xu Huang.


    At this time, a soldier of Cao army rushed over and hugged Huang Hu''s waist bravely. He roared: "General Xu, get out of the way, get out of the way."


    The soldier cried, his eyes very anxious.


    "To die!"


    The yellow tiger roared. The handle of the drum beating Weng''s golden hammer fell down and banged on the heads of Cao''s soldiers.


    At that moment, the soldier died.


    Huang Hu put aside Cao''s soldiers and killed Xu Huang with a golden hammer. As soon as he approached, two Cao soldiers lifted Xu Huang and ran away. Then, the rest of the Cao soldiers rushed up, blocking the way, not to let the yellow tiger chase.


    In a moment, Huang Hu lost Xu Huang''s figure.


    "Bastard, you want to die."


    Huang Hu''s success in the battle is flying, his anger is surging up, and the drum beating Weng''s golden hammer keeps sweeping. Just listen to the banging sound, one after another, all the Cao soldiers fell to the ground and were killed by hammering.


    "Kill


    "Kill me!"


    Huang Hu''s anger is surging, and he keeps fighting with a drum and urn hammer.


    "And one with a knife."


    Huang Hu''s eyes turned and saw Xu Chu and shamoko fighting.


    At that time, Huang Hu was very happy.


    He charged with the golden hammer of the drum beating Weng, and the Cao soldiers who stood in front of him were killed one after another, and no one could stop them. He pushed forward quickly, and in a short time, he was approaching.


    At this time, Xu Chu had come down from his horse and was fighting with shamoke. He had been dragged by shamoke and could not get close to Liu Xiu.


    Shamoke''s iron tribulus is constantly flying, but Xu Chu''s long sword is exquisite, with dexterity in the overbearing, soft in the hard, and hard in the soft. It''s hard for shamoke to resist.


    "Lao Sha, I''ll help you."


    Huang Hu''s eyes are full of fighting spirit. He takes two steps in three steps, and it is approaching in the blink of an eye.


    "Meteor hammer, kill!"


    Without any words, Huang Hu swung the golden hammer and hit it.


    The golden hammer is very fast.


    In a flash, he approached Xu Chu. Xu Chu calmly pushed back shamoko, then the blade turned and smashed on the golden hammer.


    A powerful force erupted from the place of impact.


    Chu stepped back with a look of horror. A big knife in his hand weighs more and more. The blade splits out and is invincible. It is rare to be able to resist. In front of this young boy, unexpectedly a hammer blocked.


    Huang Hu is also pedaling back two steps, feel the strength of the other side, Huang Hu is very happy.


    He didn''t enjoy the fight with Xu Huang just now.


    Now I met a strong one, and I was very happy.


    "Good match!"


    Yellow tiger''s eyes, more and more bright.


    Shamoko is dissatisfied, roared: "tiger, this is my prey, you get out of the way."


    Huang Hu laughs. He raises his golden hammer and roars, "Lao Sha, you can''t win. You quickly lead the soldiers to cover up and kill them. I''ll take care of them here. "


    Shamoko was angry, but he didn''t argue. Just now, when I was fighting with Xu Chu, every move he made was suppressed. Although he was not defeated, it was sooner or later.


    However, he did not cover up, but returned to Liu Xiu''s side.Liu Xiu ordered: "shamoko, you lead the soldiers to cover up."


    "No!"


    Up to now, Liu Xiu did not receive the information from the sentinel, which means that Cao Cao did not lead the army to rescue. Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu did not want to delay any longer and directly ordered shamoko to lead the army to cover up.

 Chapter 354

    Shamoko led the soldiers to cover up, and the situation changed again. Cao''s soldiers, who were at a disadvantage, were besieged and killed by shamoko''s soldiers and immediately fell into a dilemma.


    The soldiers were tired of resisting and kept retreating.


    The situation on the battlefield was one-sided, and Cao''s defeat was obvious.


    Xu Huang was saved by the soldiers, but his hand was broken and his muscles and veins were badly damaged. Now he can''t lift up any strength. Between a breath and a breath, the chest is like a thorn, chest pain.


    Just a hammer!


    Huang Hu just hit him with a hammer and he was seriously injured.


    Xu Huang stood with the help of the soldiers and ordered, "Mingjin, stop the soldiers."


    "Dang! Dang! Dang


    The sound of gongs reverberates on the battlefield.


    Cao''s soldiers heard the sound and retreated one after another.


    When Xu Chuzheng fought with Huang Hu, his Sabre technique had already reached the point of lifting heavy as light and lifting light as heavy. However, no matter how he changed, Huang Hu''s beating drum urn and gold hammer directly hit him, which made him extremely uncomfortable.


    No matter how hard you take it off, it doesn''t work.


    No matter how to resist with all one''s strength, the skill advantage of sabre technique has completely lost its effect.


    Ten meetings in one effort!


    The strength of the other side has reached the point of ignoring skills.


    Xu Chu summoned up his strength to fight with a knife, which turned into a contest of strength. However, the opponent''s drum jar gold hammer is powerful and powerful.


    In this case, the yellow tiger has a great advantage in weapons.


    As a result, Xu Chu was extremely unyielding.


    You can''t win!


    Or it''s very difficult to beat each other.


    After a series of hard encounters, Xu Chu''s hands holding the handle of the knife began to numb, and his whole body was full of Qi and blood, which could not be suppressed.


    After fighting for dozens of moves, Xu Chu found that Cao''s soldiers began to retreat.


    Xu Chu couldn''t win, but Cao Jun had withdrawn. He also wanted to withdraw.


    And Huang Hu to kill two moves, Xu Chu will withdraw.


    Huang Hu was ready to pursue with the golden hammer of the drum beating Weng, but Xu Chu had already planned to retreat. He had already hid in the soldiers and disappeared quickly.


    After Huang Hu''s fight, Xu Huang ran away and Xu Chu ran away. He didn''t catch any of them and stamped his feet in anger. He turned his eyes and looked at Liu Xiu, but he saw that Liu Xiu had already picked up a big yellow bow, and a special iron arrow was on the bow string.


    "Hum!"


    The bowstring vibrates and the iron arrow comes out.


    "Whew!"


    The bow and arrow broke through the air and turned into a streamer in the air.


    After the first bow and arrow was shot, Liu Xiu didn''t even think about it. He put his right hand in the quiver, twisted an iron arrow, put it on the bowstring and shot it directly.


    Two iron arrows, piercing the air, with a sharp voice, went straight to Xu Chu''s back.


    Although Liu Xiu didn''t take part in the war personally, his team paid close attention to the fight between Xu Chu and Huang Hu. When Liu Xiu heard the sound of the gong on the battlefield, he knew that the opportunity was coming, and he had already picked up the bow and arrow to prepare.


    Xu Chu retreated, and Liu Xiu took aim.


    Xu Chu was retreating when he suddenly felt a sense of danger in his back. He kept on walking. When he continued to run forward, he directly waved his knife back.


    "Ding!"


    The iron arrow was smashed and flew out.


    However, a second iron arrow came.


    When this iron arrow came, Xu Chu had already slowed down a step. He quickly dodged, although avoided the key, but his right shoulder was hit by an iron arrow.


    "Hiss!"


    Iron arrow into the body, a burst of heartbreaking pain.


    He ran forward too fast. Under the impact of the iron arrow, he nearly fell to the ground.


    Xu Chu''s knife was on the ground, and then he stabilized himself.


    Immediately, a little lift gas, the head does not turn back on the rapid retreat.


    Liu Xiu''s two arrows failed to kill Xu Chu, which was a pity in his heart. The other side had withdrawn, and Liu Xiu ordered the soldiers to cover up. Liu Xiu is still confident enough to catch up with him all the way.


    Because the bridge in front has been destroyed, even if Xu Huang and Xu Chu escape to the river, it is difficult to retreat.


    If you want to escape, you have to jump into the river.


    However, Cao Jun was not water-based, so he would die after jumping into the river.


    When it was only two miles from the bridge, the sentry came and reported, "my Lord, there is a Cao army stationed on the other side of the stream. There are cavalry and infantry. The troops on the other side of the stream are ready to cross the river. "


    Liu Xiu raised the corner of his mouth and said, "it''s coming!"


    Before, Liu Xiu had expected that Cao Cao would arrange waves of ambush.


    So Liu Xiu asked shamoko to destroy the bridge. When Cao''s soldiers could not get through the water, the stream more than two feet wide was a natural moat, which was enough to prevent the other side from continuing to attack. At the same time, he can also use this river to kill Xu Huang and Xu Chu.Liu Xiu ordered: "summon, full speed pursuit."


    At the command, shamoko and Huang Hu once again increased the intensity of the cover up.


    When the army arrived at the edge of the river, Cao''s soldiers had already jumped down the river to escape. There are also some soldiers who rush deep into the mountains to avoid being killed.


    "Boom!"


    A big tree, which needed three people to embrace, suddenly fell from the other side of the stream and penetrated both sides of the stream.


    Then another big tree fell.


    When Xu Chu, Xu Huang and others saw it, they looked very happy and jumped into the river one after another. With the help of big trees in the water, they began to cross the river.


    Liu Xiu watched from a distance and did not continue to cover up.


    There are already archers on the other side of the river. Once they are covered up, the archers of the other side will shoot their arrows, and the soldiers under his command will surely be shot.


    Liu ordered the soldiers to follow him, and then said in a loud voice, "go back and tell Cao Cao that Xu Huang and Xu Chu are lessons from the past."


    "Go back and tell Cao Cao that Xu Huang and Xu Chu are lessons from the past."


    The soldiers cried out, and their voices echoed in the air.


    Cao Jun''s soldiers on the other side of the stream also talked about it. One by one, looking at the Jingzhou soldiers on the other side, there was a trace of shock in their eyes.


    Xu Chu''s strength is well known to all the soldiers in the army.


    Xu Huang''s invincible troops are famous among the three armed forces.


    Now, both Xu Huang and Xu Chu have lost. It''s incredible.


    "Withdraw


    Liu Xiu raised his mouth, looked at the troops on the other side of the stream, turned around and left with them.


    The general on the other side of the river was Cao Zhen, a general under Cao Cao.


    Cao Zhen led the soldiers, is the most elite tiger and leopard riding. Before the news of Xu Huang''s defeat came back, Cao Cao was eager to send out tiger and leopard riders. In addition, there were 3000 elite riders.


    Unexpectedly, the army arrived at the edge of the stream, only to find that the bridge across the river was broken.


    Cao Zhen was also clever. He directly ordered his soldiers to cut down trees and put them in the stream. Before his soldiers crossed the river, they met Xu Huang and Xu Chu, who had withdrawn from the river. They were both injured.


    After Cao Zhen rescued them, he was shocked and asked, "general Gongming and general Zhongkang, what''s the matter?"


    Xu Huang sighed, "it''s hard to say enough!"


    "Cough! Cough


    Xu Huang covered his chest and coughed. He was injured by a yellow tiger. After soaking in the stream for some time, he felt even worse. Now it''s difficult for him to stand. As soon as he shook, he almost fell to the ground.


    Cao Zhen quickly helped Xu Huang, and then ordered the soldiers to bring the horses and let Xu Huang lie on the horses.


    But Xu Chu''s situation is even worse, with an iron arrow on his shoulder. The iron arrow pierced into the bone, the blood flowed, and the whole shoulder had been wet by the blood.


    Xu Chu was in a low mood and said, "Zi Dan, let''s go back."


    When Cao Zhen heard the speech, he stopped asking.


    After Cao''s soldiers crossed the river from the other side, Cao Zhen reorganized his troops and began to go back. For a while, Cao sighed, but did not come back.


    Xu Huang''s five thousand elite riders have not been seen. All five thousand elite riders have been destroyed.


    Xu Chu''s 1000 elite soldiers, now only more than 300 soldiers have returned.


    In this battle, only the chief General and a very small number of soldiers remained, which can be said to be the total annihilation of the army.


    This kind of loss is already considerable.


    Except when Cao Cao attacked Dong Zhuo, he fought with Xu Rong and was ambushed. At the expense of his troops, he defeated his general and destroyed his army. In later battles, Cao Cao''s army rarely encountered such losses.


    Back to the camp, the tiger and leopard ride into the camp, and the soldiers who escape are settled down.


    Xu Chu and Xu Huang went straight to the big bank of the Chinese army. Xu Huang was seriously injured, even coughing up blood, but he still did not let the soldiers help him, trembling into the tent.

 Chapter 355

    When Cao Cao saw the tragedy of Xu Huang and Xu Chu, he looked surprised.


    At this time, Xu Huang''s face was pale, his lips were dry, and his mouth was covered with dark red blood. When walking, the body trembles, the back is also bent.


    Xu Huang moved forward step by step, shaking, as if a gust of wind was blowing, and he was about to fall to the ground.


    Compared with Xu Huang, Xu Chu''s face is better, and his walking pace is more steady and powerful. However, Xu Chu''s clothes are full of blood on his shoulders, and he also has an iron arrow on his shoulder. The situation is also very serious.


    The situation of the two is so shocking.


    "Plop!"


    After kneeling down, Xu Huang put his hands on the ground and knocked with his head. He coughed twice, his body trembled slightly, and said slowly: "Lord, the last general is incompetent, which leads to the annihilation of 5000 elite riders. Please surrender."


    "Boom!"


    Cao Cao''s mind, a blank.


    Five thousand elite riders have been destroyed!


    What is this concept? Is there tens of thousands of troops under Liu Xiu?


    Cao Cao had confidence in his soldiers. Even if Liu Xiu had tens of thousands of troops, he could not win 5000 elite cavalry. It can be said that Cao Cao knew that Xu Huang would not lie. Since he was defeated, it was true.


    Xu Chu also knelt down and kowtowed: "at the end of the general''s 1000 elite, there are no two in ten. Please surrender."


    His body, a slight shudder, shoulder pain.


    Cao Cao''s sitting body could not help shaking.


    Five thousand elite riders were destroyed, and one thousand elite riders were defeated. The loss was so serious.


    Cao Cao was shocked, but after all, he had a strong psychological quality.


    Then he stood up, went to Xu Huang and Xu Chu, helped them up, and said, "come on, pass on the doctor."


    There was no accountability and no inquiry. Cao Cao chose to treat their injuries first.


    Xu Huang was supported by Cao Cao, and his mood was even more fluctuating. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and said once again, "Lord, I will not be able to help you. Please, Lord, bring your crime down."


    Cao Cao let go of Xu Chu''s hand and supported Xu Huang alone. He solemnly said, "Gongming, first treat the wounded, then talk about military affairs." Looking at Xu Huang''s injury, Cao Cao felt more dignified.


    Soon, the military doctor came in.


    Cao Cao said, "come and carry Xu Huang to the prime minister''s bed."


    Cao Cao''s bed is behind the tent.


    Hearing this, Xu Huang felt even more ashamed and shameless to face Cao Cao.


    Xu Huang was lying on his bed. A military doctor felt Xu Huang''s pulse and a military doctor treated Xu Chu. Cao Cao, Xun you, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and Cao Zhen all stood in the camp.


    The look on all faces was extremely dignified.


    Xu Chu''s injury is relatively easy, only the iron arrow on his shoulder. After pulling out the iron arrow and applying the wound healing medicine, the military doctor carefully bandaged it up, and there was no problem.


    Xu Huang''s injury is the most serious.


    After the diagnosis, the military doctor got up and saluted Cao Cao, and then replied, "prime minister, General Xu is seriously injured. According to the injury, General Xu was injured by the earthquake when he was fighting with the enemy. Such an internal injury, one or two months can not fully recover. There is no rapid treatment, only slowly recuperate


    Cao Cao nodded and asked people to change clothes for Xu Huang and Xu Chu.


    Then, Cao Cao was sitting beside his bed.


    Cao Cao looked at Xu Huang and Xu Chu and asked, "what''s the matter? How can the whole army be destroyed?"


    Xu Chu kept silent. Xu Huang took the words and said slowly, "Lord, let''s talk about it from the end general. At the end of the day, the general has already thought about all the processes and understood Liu Xiu''s tactics. "


    Cao Cao said, "you say it!"


    "No!"


    Xu Huang nodded and sorted out his thoughts.


    Jia Xu, Xun you and others all looked at Xu Huang with a touch of curiosity in their eyes. Xu Huang is also a great general. He is very powerful in leading the war, which can make Xu Huang''s whole army destroyed. How did Liu Xiu set up a plan to frighten the secular world.


    Xu Huang took a deep breath and said slowly, "my Lord, I will be garrisoning troops 15 Li to the north of Xinye city. At that time, when he got the news that Liu Xiu''s soldiers had joined the Xinye battlefield, he led his troops to Xinye county to kill them. "


    "Ten miles away from the county, I met Liu Xiu''s ambush."


    "In that place, the official road is wide. On the right side of the official road is a stream. The river is swollen and the current is fast. On the left side of the official road is a hillside full of green grass. The mountain is not high, about ten feet high, and the slope is also very low. "


    "The width of the official road is also close to about ten feet."


    Xu Huang felt a little more excited and said: "such a broad official road is the best way for the cavalry to run. Therefore, the end will not be on guard, full speed forward


    "At that time, there were more than 100 Jingzhou soldiers on the official road."


    "These Jingzhou soldiers all use Dahuang crossbows and use crossbows to shoot with the intention of blocking the end general''s fine riding. Although rhubarb crossbow is powerful, it is impossible to stop the cavalry of the end general. ""After a while of fighting, the fine cavalry of the end general broke through the big yellow crossbow and got close to the Jingzhou soldiers."


    "But I didn''t expect that the place near the soldiers in Jingzhou had dug out ditches. These gullies are three feet deep and two feet wide. "


    "When the horse''s hooves are stepped down, it is impossible to put them away and run at a high speed, so that all the horses fall to the ground."


    "In the cavalry camp, the most taboo thing is that if the cavalry in front is in disorder, it will lead to chaos in the back. In particular, the right side of the official road is the stream, and the left side is the hillside, which makes it impossible for the cavalry to disperse. In this case, the cavalry is even more dangerous. "


    "At that time, the formation was in disorder."


    "The humble Officer immediately adjusted his tactics and ordered him to turn around and go to the hillside."


    "After all, the slope of the hillside is not high, so you can go around it. But the end will not think of the hillside, also hidden Jingzhou soldiers


    Xu Huang''s face, with a look of sadness and indignation, said in a loud voice: "the Jingzhou soldiers on the hillside use javelin to stop the cavalry from attacking. He also attacked with big stones, making it impossible for the cavalry to advance. "


    Xu Huang sighed: "after a fight, he lost more than 1000 elite riders, but he couldn''t make a breakthrough. Finally, he had to retreat. Returning to the position of fifteen Li, General Xu Chu arrived with a thousand talents. "


    "General Xu Chu''s elite, though infantry, had the flexibility that his horses didn''t have."


    "After meeting with Xu Chu, he killed him again."


    "When we arrived at the battlefield ten miles away, we couldn''t even see a single person. All the Jingzhou soldiers had withdrawn. At the end of the day, the general led his troops to move on to the place seven li away from the county seat, which is the bridge where general Cao Zhen led the tigers and leopards to ride troops. "


    "At that time, the figures in the woods on the other side of the river were shaking, and it seemed that there was an ambush."


    Xu Huang looked helpless and said, "the general thought that Cao Ren is still in Xinye and must go to rescue. At the end of the day, the general gritted his teeth and led the army to kill him. Unexpectedly, the figures in the mountains were mystifying and there was no ambush. "


    "In fact, the bridge is a key. At that time, the general did not think about it and did not send troops. When the end general and Zhong Kangju are very close to Xinye, the bridge is heard. They send troops back to check and find that the bridge has been destroyed. "


    "In fact, at this time, we should withdraw our troops."


    "But Xinye is in sight, and the end general has again committed the great taboo of being impatient and belittling the enemy, leading the army to continue to advance."


    "When it was only three or four miles away from Xinye County, the general met Liu Xiu. He led his troops to wait on the official road."


    "At this location, the terrain around the official road is flat, so it is difficult to ambush soldiers."


    "Moreover, Liu Xiu led the troops in the formation, and all the soldiers under his command met the enemy with long spears. In this war, Liu Xiu had no chance to lay an ambush. "


    "Therefore, the end will not doubt that he ordered the cavalry to rush into the battle."


    Xu Huang said: "at that time, the general talked with Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu also urged the general to say that he was not afraid of cavalry. At the end, the general was also credulous and thought that Liu Xiu was going to fight with a gun array. "


    "However, when three thousand cavalry troops were all over the official road, on both sides of the official road, soldiers suddenly emerged from the ground, and they suddenly pulled up stumbling ropes from the ground."


    "Three thousand cavalry charged quickly, and the situation broke down as soon as they met with a stumbling block."


    "Even if the 1000 elite under Xu Chu rushed to cover, it was useless and could not reverse the rout."


    "At that time, the general thought that there was still a chance. As long as the thief was captured first, the king was captured, and as long as Liu Xiu was captured, he could win. But did not expect, the end will meet a named Huang Hu, holding a gold hammer of the young general. This man is in his early twenties. He will fight with him in the end. In less than three moves, he will be seriously injured. "


    "Thanks to the timely rescue of the soldiers, otherwise he would have died under his hammer."


    Xu Huang coughed softly, looked miserable, and said, "then it''s time to retreat. The army retreated to the river. Just as Cao Zhen led the tiger and leopard riding to the end of the battle, Liu Xiu withdrew. However, five thousand elite riders were completely destroyed. "


    Xu Chu added: "the end general fights with Huang Hu for dozens of moves, but the end general is always under pressure. Although not defeated, but continue to fight, defeated people must be the last. When the last general retreated, he was attacked by Liu Xiu and was seriously injured. "


    The context of the matter is clearly displayed.


    After hearing this, Cao Cao was silent. He did not expect that so many things happened in this war.


    Cao Zhen suddenly said, "when Liu Xiu retreated, he made the soldiers shout, saying that he would tell the prime minister that" Xu Huang and Xu Chu are lessons from the past. "


    In a word, Cao Cao clenched his fist.


    Too much deception!


    Does Liu Xiu really think he is invincible? Dare to talk provocative.

 Chapter 356

    Cao Cao''s eyes were sharp and fierce. Cao Cao has been around the world for decades. He has met countless enemies, including the arrogant Dong Zhuo, the arrogant Lu Bu, the headstrong Yuan Shao, and the patient and tough Liu Bei


    This time, I met an arrogant Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu is arrogant enough.


    Jingzhou alone, dare to provoke him, courage enough fat.


    Cao Cao calmed his heart and said: "Gongming and Zhongkang, the reason for the defeat of this war is not you. It''s the prime minister who underestimated Liu Xiu and made him set up a series of stratagems. You should take good care of your injury, and don''t think about anything else. "


    Moved in his heart, Xu Huang said, "thank you, Lord!"


    Cao Cao nodded, and asked Xu Huang to have a good rest. Then he took Xun you, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Xu Chu and others to the front account to discuss business.


    Cao Cao asked: "Gongda, how long will it take for the army to gather?"


    Now, Cao Cao''s soldiers have arrived one after another.


    The purpose of Cao Cao''s going south this time is to finish his work in one battle, to wipe out Jingzhou at one stroke, to capture Jiangdong again, and to pacify the world. So in this war, Cao Cao dispatched a large number of soldiers from various states to prepare for a big victory.


    Xun you replied, "report back to my Lord, it will take half a month for all the soldiers to arrive."


    Cao Cao''s eyes narrowed, and his eyes were cold. He said in a deep voice: "ten days, I will give you ten days. In ten days, all the soldiers must gather. Then, we will work hard to conquer Xinye and go south to Jingzhou. "


    In Cao Cao''s mind, only the idea of crushing Liu Xiu with his troops remained.


    Even though Liu Xiu''s stratagem is outstanding, he really meets hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. Even if Liu Xiu has innumerable stratagems, it is impossible for a skillful woman to make a meal without rice and resist.


    One effort for ten meetings is common in martial arts, just like marching and fighting.


    Xun you said, "prime minister, the art of war says," the Lord can''t be angry and start a division. He can''t be angry and fight! " Now, the prime minister has lost his mind in hastily mobilizing the army. I think it is not feasible. "


    "Maybe it''s Liu Xiu''s way of motivating people?"


    "The prime minister must not disturb the original arrangement just because of Liu Xiu''s words."


    Xun you looked calm and said, "Liu Xiu is stationed in Xinye. In a short period of time, unless he transfers troops from Jingzhou, Liu Xiu''s troops are not enough to stop the prime minister''s army. The prime minister doesn''t have to be in a hurry. He just needs to wait for all his troops to gather and then move south again to defeat Liu Xiu. "


    Cheng Yu echoed: "I agree with Gongda''s suggestion. Liu Xiu is extremely cunning and good at seizing every opportunity. There is no need for the prime minister to be angry with him, as long as the prime minister waits a little longer. When the troops are assembled, the prime minister will strike again and defeat Liu Xiu at one stroke. "


    Jia Xu said, "it''s the right way to be slow."


    The three men''s persuasion gradually calmed Cao Cao down and said, "in that case, let Liu Xiu be arrogant for a while. Half a month later, we will attack Xinye county again. At that time, how can he resist? "


    Xun you said, "the prime minister is wise!"


    The rest of them were relieved to hear that Cao Cao would send troops after he was agitated.


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, a soldier entered the camp and reported, "prime minister, general Cao Ren is back."


    "Please


    Cao Cao waved his hand with a touch of worry in his eyes.


    The failure of Xu Huang and Xu Chu''s support means that Cao Ren''s army has become a lone army. Now that Cao Ren can come back, it''s quite a good result, and Cao Cao''s heart has been psychologically prepared.


    Soon, Cao Ren entered the camp.


    At this time, Cao Ren had lost his helmet. His hair was untidy, his face was dirty, and he was tired. The armor on his body is full of knife marks and chopping marks. His clothes were covered with dark red blood stains, including his own blood and the enemy''s blood, which had long been indistinguishable.


    When he got to the center of the tent, Cao Ren knelt down and choked: "prime minister, Cao Ren is incompetent. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command have been destroyed. In this battle, only a few hundred soldiers fled with the last general. The prime minister is requested to surrender his crime. "


    Now, Cao Ren does not know about Xu Huang and Xu Chu.


    However, in this war, Cao Ren not only failed to conquer Xinye County, but also led to the destruction of the whole army.


    This result, however, is extremely heavy.


    Cao Cao sighed and sighed: "the result of your fighting has already been expected. If it wasn''t for Liu Xiu''s reinforcements, you would have captured Xinye. It''s not your failure, it''s Liu Xiu''s cunning. I''ll go down and wash up and cheer up. Then I''ll fight Liu Xiu again. "


    "Yes, I will."


    Cao Ren''s eyes showed a touch of surprise, Cao Cao did not punish him.


    It''s really strange.


    Cao Ren didn''t ask much, so he got up and went down to wash. He took the only remaining soldiers to get back. Up to now, people are exhausted and can finally rest.¡­¡­


    Xinye County!


    After Wei Yan''s army entered, the situation was quickly stabilized.


    A corpse piled up outside the city and a corpse fallen inside the city were all piled up and burned.


    On the tower, Liu Xiu and Zhang Ren stand side by side.


    Zhang Ren''s eyes to Liu Xiu were incredible and shocked. Because Liu Xiu led his troops back to the city, his soldiers lost no more than 100 people, but brought back more than 2000 live horses and countless dead horses.


    It is conceivable that Cao Jun must have suffered heavy losses.


    Zhang Ren doesn''t know the inside story and doesn''t plan to ask.


    Zhang Ren just asked: "Liu Jingzhou, how about Cao Jun''s loss?"


    Liu Xiu replied: "in this war, Cao Cao sent 5000 elite cavalry, the whole army was destroyed; sent 1000 elite, ten do not save two."


    Hearing the result, Zhang Ren was shocked.


    Such a victory can be described as a complete victory, but Zhang Ren knew that Liu Xiu did not mobilize many troops.


    The more so, the more shocked.


    Zhang Ren understood that Liu Xiu really controlled Xinye this time, and it was impossible to hand it over again. Moreover, Zhang Ren''s current strength is already weak, and it is difficult to control Xinye county.


    Zhang Ren thought about it and said, "Liu Jingzhou, in the first battle of Xinye, all the soldiers under the general were killed. Next, I was going to withdraw from Xinye. "


    Liu xiudao: "General Zhang, you don''t have to. Since Nanyang County is handed over to you, I won''t interfere. Moreover, I believe in general Zhang''s ability, and I also believe that general Zhang could not have no troops because of this war. The rest of the counties also have soldiers, which is enough to reorganize the army. "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said again: "but Cao Jun led the army to fight against Cao Jun, I am duty bound. Therefore, I will still resist Cao Jun


    The corner of Zhang Ren''s mouth rose and a smile passed.


    The withdrawal from Xinye County just now was actually his strategy of making progress by retreating. He wanted to test Liu Xiu''s attitude. Now with Liu Xiu''s promise, Zhang Ren can dispatch soldiers from other counties to garrison.


    With a smile in his heart, Liu Xiu found that although Zhang Ren had outstanding ability in running the army, his mind was far from perfect.


    If Zhang Ren stays, Liu Xiu''s plan will be easier to carry out.


    If Zhang Ren left now, Liu Xiu''s plan would be in vain.


    Liu Xiu continued: "General Zhang, we have defeated Cao Ren now. Next time, we will face Cao Cao''s army. According to estimates, Cao Cao may have hundreds of thousands of troops. I''m afraid we have to discuss the next war carefully, and we can''t stick to it or confine it to Xinye county. "


    "What do you think of Liu Jingzhou?" Zhang Ren asked


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "let''s go back to the city first, and then talk carefully."


    "Yes


    Zhang Ren nodded, and Liu Xiu went down the tower to the government office.


    Xinye County originally did not have a government office, but after Liu Qi came, he established a Nanyang Prefecture prefect''s government office. When Liu Qi and Liu Bei leave Nanyang County, Liu Qi''s government office is empty.


    Zhang Ren was stationed in Xinye county and temporarily lived in the government.


    In the hall, the guest and host are seated.


    Zhang Ren talks with Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu asks people to take out a detailed map. After examining the situation on the map, he looks at Zhang Ren and says, "General Zhang is stationed in Xinye county. Did you ever have a map sand table of Xinye county?"


    Sand table existed as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, but it was not popularized because its geographical location was not easy to measure.


    Few people use sand table.


    Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "I have just arrived in Xinye county. For the time being, there is only a map of Xinye county. As for the sand table, which can reflect the main roads of each pass, there is no one for the time being. "


    Liu xiudao: "just, it doesn''t matter if you don''t have it!"


    He pointed to the main roads on the map and started from every pass and main road in Xinye County, saying: "every pass and main road, in my opinion, is the key point of fighting with Cao Jun. So the next battle, I think, should be to block and weaken Cao Cao''s forces


    Immediately, Liu Xiu said his idea again.


    After hearing this, Zhang Ren looked at Liu Xiu with a look of admiration. He stationed in Xinye County, considering the use of the city to resist, although this insurance, but lost the initiative.


    Liu Xiu''s practice is more flexible and comprehensive.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a valet came in.


    The attendant looked at Zhang Ren and reported: "general, special envoy of Zhou Mu Deng Xian has arrived at Ximen. Please go to meet him."


    Welcome?


    Zhang Ren listened to these two words, his face revealed a touch of doubt. A Deng Xian, even let him to meet, what does this mean.


    Liu Xiu knew that the original plan had worked.

 Chapter 357

    Liu Xiu didn''t know Deng Xian, but he knew the purpose of Deng Xian''s coming. He asked, "General Zhang, what''s the origin of Deng Xian?"


    Zhang Ren replied: "the Lord has four Generals: Liu Ruo, Ling Bao, Deng Xian and his own general. Among the four, I was the first, and Deng Xian was the last of the other three. However, Deng Xian is quite proud and thinks that his talent, learning and strategy are not inferior to mine, so he is against me everywhere. "


    At this point, Zhang Ren showed a touch of worry in his eyes, saying: "the Lord suddenly appointed Deng Xian as his special envoy to Xinye. I don''t know what happened."


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu finally remembered Deng Xian.


    In the romance, Zhang Ren, Liu Ruo, Ling Bao and Deng Xian are collectively known as the "four generals of Xichuan", and Liu Zhang relies on the four most. However, compared with Zhang Ren, the other three people, whether in martial arts or in war, are all more than one level behind.


    Now, if Deng Xian and Zhang Ren have grudges, things will be better handled.


    Liu Xiu asked, "General Zhang, are you going to meet him?"


    Zhang Ren sighed and said, "after all, it''s the Lord''s special envoy, and he has already said that I will meet him, so I have to go. Liu Jingzhou, you go back first. When Ben will deal with Deng Xian''s affairs, I will discuss with you about attacking Cao Jun


    Liu xiudao: "General Zhang, Deng Xian, as a special envoy, must have a heavy responsibility. Then next, he will also take part in the war against Cao Cao, so I''ll go with you to see Deng Xian and see how proud he is? "


    Zhang Ren looked hesitant after listening.


    Liu Xiu laughed and asked, "General Zhang, is it inappropriate for me to go?"


    Zhang Ren said: "no harm, let''s go."


    They went out of the Yamen and rode quickly to the west gate.


    West gate, city gate.


    A thin and tall man in his early thirties, with long narrow eyes and thin lips, stands aloof. He was dressed in green, with hands on his back.


    This man is Deng Xian.


    His cheeks are slightly sunken and his eyes are sinister, which gives a kind of mean and tricky impression.


    A cold breath of forest filled his side.


    The soldiers stationed at the gate stood far away and did not dare to approach.


    This time, Deng Xian came with Liu Zhang''s orders.


    Deng Xian and Zhang Ren are both generals of Yizhou, but their fame is much smaller than Zhang Ren''s. However, Deng Xian does not think he is worse than Zhang Ren. Therefore, he is very jealous of Zhang Ren.


    This battle, Zhuyang County lost, Nanyang County situation into crisis, Deng Xian saw the opportunity.


    In addition, Deng Xian arrived in Xinye. He heard that Cao Ren attacked Xinye, and the garrison was exhausted, because Liu Xiu''s rescue was the only way to keep it.


    With these premises, Deng Xian felt that Zhang Ren was incompetent.


    If it were him, it would never be like this.


    Deng Xian waited quietly. About two quarters of an hour later, the sound of a horse''s hoof came from the city.


    "Da! Dada


    The sound of the horse''s hooves was rapid, and two figures appeared in Deng Xian''s sight.


    Zhang Ren''s face was reflected in Deng Xian''s eyes, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.


    "Woo!"


    Zhang Ren reined in his horse. After the horse stopped, he did not turn over and dismount. Instead, he sat on the horse and asked, "general Deng, what did the Lord send you to do?"


    Zhang Ren''s gesture is casual and meaningless.


    However, in Deng Xian''s eyes, he thought it was Zhang Ren Duan''s airs, his posturing to humiliate him, and he deliberately did not dismount.


    Deng Xian was in a bad mood, and his eyes were even more sinister. He brushed his sleeve and said, "the LORD sent Ben Jiang to come here, and naturally arranged important things. Now, let''s go to the advanced city. You lead the way, and when you get to your house, you can discuss business. "


    A word, but with a thorn in it.


    Liu Xiu looked on coldly and did not speak. He also looked at Deng Xian.


    Liu Xiu had a bad first impression.


    Deng Xian''s feeling is not only bleak, but also arrogant and rude, and it is also an expression of small people''s ambition.


    However, this situation is exactly what Liu Xiu is looking forward to.


    The more arrogant Deng Xian is, the more he can crack down on Zhang Ren. When Zhang Ren is in a difficult situation, it will be easier for Liu Xiu to recruit him.


    Zhang Ren''s face was expressionless and nodded: "please!"


    Deng Xian immediately turned over, followed Zhang Ren and went straight to the government office.


    When you come to the yamen, you will be seated.


    Zhang Ren sits directly above, Liu Xiu sits on the left and Deng Xian sits on the right. Deng Xian is not satisfied with this position. He is now a special envoy and should be in the main position. However, Zhang Ren soon died, so he did not argue. Deng Xian stares at Zhang Ren with a touch of pleasure in his cold eyes.


    Zhang Ren asked: "general Deng, my Lord asked you to come to Xinye. What''s the matter?"


    Deng Xian''s mouth rose, and then he stood up.


    When he got to the hall and stood, Deng Xian, with both hands on his back, looked up at Zhang Ren and asked, "Zhang Ren, is Zhuyang County lost?"In a word, the atmosphere changes at once.


    Zhang Ren replied, "it has been lost. At that time, Cao Ren led the army to raid Zhuyang County, and I...... "


    Deng Xian interrupted Zhang Ren and said, "as long as we know the result, it''s enough to know that Zhuyang county is lost. You don''t have to say much about the rest


    Arrogant words are extremely harsh.


    Zhang Ren''s face became very ugly, especially in front of Liu Xiu''s face.


    Liu Xiu glanced at Deng Xian. He looked like a villain. He really took himself seriously. If Liu Xiu didn''t want to recruit Zhang Ren, he would never let Deng Xian talk about it here, and it would be a waste of heart.


    Deng Xian continued: "when Zhuyang county was lost, you once led 10000 soldiers to attack Wan County recklessly, trying to defeat Cao''s old nest. In the end, not only did you fail, but you were ambushed and lost nearly 10000 troops. Is that true?"


    In the words of questioning, Zhang ren''an was directly charged.


    Belittle the enemy! Be bold!


    This accusation is not in line with Zhang Ren''s case.


    Zhang Ren believed that the strategy he formulated at that time was correct, but he just missed a link in his calculation, which led to the uncontrolled situation and the loss of the army.


    Zhang Renshen took a breath, suppressed his anger and said, "general Deng, you should speak with your conscience. Zhuyang county was lost, Ying County, Yin county and other places were attacked, so it is very difficult to rescue. "


    Deng Xiandao: "the Lord only needs the result, does not need the process."


    Zhang Ren added: "the only way to deal with the situation at that time was to attack Wan county. Otherwise... "


    "Enough!"


    Deng Xian yelled and interrupted.


    He sneered twice, staring at Zhang Ren and said, "Zhang Ren, you always think you are right. As everyone knows, your right is often your self righteous. As now, you''re still quibbling. But the final result can only prove that you are self righteous. The ultimate price is the lives of nearly ten thousand soldiers. Are you conceited and arrogant, and you don''t have a trace of regret when you see the soldiers die? "


    Deng Xian''s strength makes Zhang Ren a little clumsy.


    Zhang Ren didn''t want to argue with Deng Xian. He changed the subject and said, "Deng Xian, it''s not up to you to decide what''s right and what''s wrong. It''s up to you to decide."


    Deng Xian said: "in the future, Xinye county was ordered by the Lord. As for your performance in Nanyang County, the Lord has already made a judgment. "


    In a word, Zhang Ren''s heart sank to the bottom.


    Zhang Ren looks at Deng Xian. At this moment, he suddenly understands why Deng Xian is so arrogant. In the past, Deng Xian''s words were strange, but he did not dare to confront him head-on.


    Now it is because Deng Xian has the support of Liu Zhang.


    Zhang Ren asked, "what does the Lord want you to do?"


    Deng Xian brushed his sleeves and said, "what do you want ben to do? It''s not urgent. Now, let''s clarify everything before we talk about the Lord''s arrangement. "


    As soon as the words changed, Deng Xian asked: "in this battle, Cao Ren attacked the city. You chose to avoid without fighting. You chose to defend Xinye, which eventually led to the exhaustion of all the soldiers guarding the city. If it had not been for Jingzhou army''s timely support, you would have been a prisoner of Cao army, and Xinye county would have been in trouble, right


    Zhang Ren said: "Cao Jun is brave and elite. If we go out of the city and fight head on, we will lose more. If we do that, we will certainly not be able to persist in Liu Jingzhou''s military rescue. "


    "Fart!"


    Deng Xian brushed his sleeve and said, "you are also a general in the army. Don''t you know that if you keep it for a long time, you will lose it? The reason why the loss of this war is so great is that you adhere to the principle of perseverance. Otherwise, the army will not fail. You look too high on Cao Jun


    "This battle has come to this point because of you, Zhang Ren."


    "The good situation of Nanyang County is in danger now. You are responsible for everything."


    Deng Xian took out a letter of cloth from his sleeve, spread it out, held it in both hands, and said in a loud voice: "the Lord has orders, Zhang Ren, don''t you accept them?"


    Words, through the reprimand and condescending.

 Chapter 358

    What did Liu Zhang do with Zhang Ren? From the degree of disposal, we can see what kind of person Liu Zhang is.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Zhang Ren.


    What will Zhang Ren do at this time?


    Zhang Ren Duan sat on the throne and didn''t get up immediately.


    With a gloomy face, Deng Xian scolded: "Zhang Ren, don''t you accept the order? Are you going to rebel? " Scolding words, as if a slap merciless fan in Zhang Ren''s face.


    Zhang Ren took a deep breath, got up from the seat, then came down, stood in front of Deng Xian, slightly bowed, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Ren took the order."


    Deng Xian snorted, stared at the cloth and said in a loud voice: "after investigation, Zhang Ren was headstrong when he was in Nanyang County, which led to the loss of Zhuyang county and the destruction of tens of thousands of elite. Therefore, Zhang was deposed from all official posts. All matters of Nanyang County, big and small, should be handled by Deng Xian. "


    The order on the cloth, like a sharp knife, penetrated into Zhang Ren''s heart.


    Zhang Ren''s face was pale, and his eyes showed an incredible expression.


    How is that possible?


    This is absolutely impossible!


    He did his best to plan in Nanyang County, everything was for Liu Zhang, everything was for Yizhou. In order to defend Xinye County, he fought hard for seven days, exhausted every day, even to the point that he could fall asleep against the wall.


    It can be said that in order to defend Xinye County, he paid all the hard work.


    He fought hard in the front line, but now he got the order of Liu Zhang to remove him from office, which was hard for him to accept.


    Deng Xian sneered: "Zhang Ren, don''t you accept the order?"


    Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "I don''t believe it. I don''t believe that the guild has done this to me. I won Nanyang County for my Lord and tried my best to think about how to keep Nanyang County. Although I didn''t get credit for it, I also got hard work. I don''t believe my Lord will do this to me. "


    "Ha ha, I''ve always been self righteous."


    Deng Xian sneered twice and said, "do you know what the Lord planned to do with you in the first place? The Lord learned that you lost Zhuyang county and tens of thousands of elites. At that time, someone was going to send you back to Chengdu for questioning. If Fazheng didn''t plead with Zhang song, do you think your guild would dismiss you? You''re lucky that you''re safe now. "


    Zhang Ren shook his head, still an expression of disbelief.


    Deng Xian''s eyes were sharp and he scolded: "don''t you accept the order? If you refuse to take the order, you will be convicted again. "


    Zhang Ren took a deep breath and had to take the order.


    With a smile on his lips, Deng Xian waved and said, "now, hand over the seal ribbon and the tiger amulet."


    When Deng Xian wanted to take over the soldiers of Nanyang County, he needed a tiger amulet to transfer them. Only let Zhang Ren hand over the core things, that is the real deprivation of Zhang Ren''s military power.


    Zhang Ren carefully looked at the order, looked at the big seal of Zhou mu, and finally handed over the seal ribbon and tiger amulet.


    "Somebody


    Deng Xian big sleeve a brush, direct order.


    A soldier came in and bowed.


    Deng Xian ordered: "come, will have nothing to do with people, etc., out of the Yamen."


    "Wait!"


    At this time, Liu Xiu stood up.


    Zhang Ren has been removed from office. It''s time for him to step forward. For Deng Xian, Liu Xiu did not have a good impression, this guy is too arrogant, is a villain''s powerful appearance, disgusting.


    Deng Xian glanced at Liu Xiu and hummed: "are you Zhang Ren''s subordinate? Zhang Ren has been removed from office. You dare to talk to the general like this now. Don''t you want to be in the army? "


    Liu Xiu was only 20 years old, so young that Deng Xian took Liu Xiu as Zhang Ren''s person.


    After listening to Zhang Ren, he didn''t put forward any ideas.


    It has nothing to do with him!


    Zhang Ren stood aside, quietly watching, with a touch of happiness in his eyes.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Deng Xian, which eye do you see that I am a subordinate of General Zhang. In my opinion, you are not only conceited, but also arrogant and disgusting. I don''t understand why Liu Zhang sent you to Nanyang County. "


    Deng Xian was furious and said, "boy, you want to die."


    There was a trace of banter in Liu Xiu''s eyes, and he said: "even if Liu Zhang stood in front of me, he did not dare to say such words. You have courage."


    Deng Xian thought for a moment, but he didn''t come out of Liu Xiu''s identity and asked, "who are you?"


    Liu xiudao: "my official Liu Xiu!"


    Boom!


    Deng Xian''s brain was blank and his face was shocked.


    The man in front of us is Liu Xiu, a herdsman in Jingzhou!


    It''s too deep.


    Deng Xian glanced at Zhang Yiyan and felt endless resentment in his heart. The man in front of him is Liu Xiu. Zhang Ren doesn''t speak. It''s obvious that he deliberately humiliates him. It''s so hateful.


    Deng Xian''s face changed. He immediately put up a smile and said, "I have eyes that don''t know Taishan. Please forgive me if I offend you. Before I came here, my Lord told me to visit Liu Jingzhou. I didn''t expect to meet you in such a situation. It''s really impolite. "After a pause, Deng Xiandao said: "Xinye county is able to hold, thanks to the help of Liu Jingzhou. Liu Jingzhou, I thank you on behalf of my Lord. "


    Liu xiudao: "no need to thank you. Xinye is the Xinye of Yizhou, which has little to do with my official. Since Xinye county is the territory of general Deng, I won''t stay much longer. "


    "Somebody


    At the command, Huang Hu quickly came in.


    "Lord!" said Huang Hu


    Liu Xiu ordered: "summon Wei Yan, mobilize the army to withdraw from the county."


    "No!"


    Huang Hu answered and turned to leave.


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Ren and said, "General Zhang, let''s go."


    Zhang Ren''s mind is in a mess, and he has been dismissed from office, and he has no place to go for the time being. Hearing Liu Xiu''s words, he nodded and said, "Liu Jingzhou, please."


    Liu Xiu goes out first. Zhang Ren follows Liu Xiu and soon disappears into Deng Xian''s sight.


    Deng Xian watched Liu Xiu and Zhang Ren leave, clenched his fist, and his eyes showed anger.


    Damn it!


    Hateful!


    Deng Xian didn''t expect that he was ignored by Liu Xiu. It''s unforgivable.


    All this is caused by Zhang Ren.


    Zhang Ren, damn you!


    Deng Xian''s heart, raised boundless anger.


    He looked in the direction of Liu Xiu''s disappearance, and his eyes became cold. He murmured: "Liu Xiu, you despise this general now, and insult him even more. In the future, you will regret it. After the general defeated Cao Jun and established himself in Nanyang County, he would go south to Xiangyang. When the time comes, the army will be in the city. How arrogant are you? "


    Deng Xian clenched his fist and immediately summoned the generals to discuss the matter.


    It''s a pity that there are few soldiers left in the army, and the forces that can be mobilized are almost negligible.


    This situation made Deng Xian very angry.


    Deng Xian inquired about the situation in the army and knew that the strength of Xinye County alone was certainly not enough, so he immediately issued an order to recruit troops in Xinye county. Anyone over the age of 15 must join the army. In addition, the soldiers in Dengxian county and the surrounding counties were taken out of grain and weapons.


    Zhang Ren stayed in Xinye County for seven days, consuming too much food and equipment. Now Xinye county has shown fatigue. Therefore, the situation faced by Deng Xian is rather difficult.


    In addition, Liu Xiu''s sudden withdrawal of troops was a major blow to Deng Xian.


    The present situation is very difficult.


    In fact, on his way here, Deng Xian has already thought about it. He plans to win over Liu Xiu and let Liu Xiu send troops to help him. When the situation in Nanyang County is stabilized, we can plan Xiangyang.


    Now, Liu Xiu and Zhang Ren are stuck together. He is helpless and can only rely on himself.


    However, Deng Xian also secretly gritted his teeth, thinking that even without Liu Xiu, he would be able to defend Xinye and defeat Cao Cao''s army. I''ll show it to Liu Xiu then.


    When Deng Xian was constantly busy, Liu Xiu led his army out of the city and camped in the mountains ten miles south of the county.

 Chapter 359

    In the camp, Zhang Ren holds Liu Zhang''s order in his hand, and his mood is still unable to calm down.


    When he left Xinye County, his weapons, horses and other belongings were all temporarily put in Liu Xiu''s camp. Now he has no place to go.


    Zhang Ren wanted to go back to Chengdu to see Liu Zhang. He wanted to ask why?


    However, at the thought of what Deng Xian said, Zhang Ren felt cold. Because Liu Zhang didn''t want to remove him from office in the first place, but intended to arrest him for questioning. Think of here, Zhang Ren''s heart on a burst of pain, feel very wronged. For the sake of Liu Zhang and Yizhou, he worked hard in Nanyang County, but he got such a result. I can imagine his mood.


    After he became an official, Zhang renxuewu was in Yizhou.


    At that time, he assisted Liu Yan. After Liu Yan died, he assisted Liu Zhang and helped Liu Zhang gain a foothold. It can be said that he is an old minister of two generations in Yizhou and is loyal to the Liu family in Yizhou.


    But now, Liu Zhang dismissed him from office and let him live and die.


    This kind of treatment is hard for Zhang Ren to accept.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of footwork came from behind.


    Zhang Ren''s mind is in a mess. He doesn''t notice the steps behind him. He just looks at the forest in a daze.


    Liu Xiu sat down and said, "General Zhang, are you still worried about the dismissal?"


    Zhang renqiang began to smile and said with a light smile: "they have all been dismissed. What else are you worried about. I have no official now. I don''t have to worry about the safety of Xinye, and I don''t have to think about how to stop Cao Cao''s army. How can I worry if I can''t ask for such a good thing? "


    Liu xiudao: "if you really put it down, the general will not say this."


    When Zhang Ren heard the speech, he sighed.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and asked, "what''s general Zhang''s plan next?"


    Zhang Ren shook his head. He had been in the army all his life. Now he was suddenly dismissed by Liu Zhang. He was at a loss. He didn''t know what to do?


    He spent every day in the barracks.


    His mind is on the soldiers.


    Suddenly idle down, Zhang Ren do not know what to do, what can be done?


    Zhang Ren thought for a long time and said, "the next step is to go back to Chengdu and find a place to live in seclusion."


    Liu Xiu said: "General Zhang is full of martial arts and talent. If he goes back to Chengdu to live in seclusion, it would be a cruel and unjust thing. General Zhang, come to Jingzhou. Yizhou can''t let you show your talent. Jingzhou can. I can give you a chance. "


    At this time, Liu Xiu threw out the olive branch.


    Liu Xiu did so much, the ultimate goal is to attract Zhang Ren.


    In the eyes of Liu Yuan, Zhang''s martial arts master is not good. In addition, Zhang Renai was like a son in the army. He was also a great general when he was marching and fighting.


    Liu Xiu also liked such a general very much.


    Zhang Ren looked at Liu Xiu and suddenly said, "Liu Jingzhou may offend Liu Zhang by recruiting me."


    Liu xiudao: "I''m not afraid of Cao Cao. Will I be afraid of Liu Zhang?"


    When Zhang Ren heard the speech, he was silent and hesitant.


    Liu Xiu knows that he must take Zhang Ren this time. Otherwise, once Zhang Ren leaves, it will not be easy to recruit him. Liu Xiu adjusted his mind and asked, "General Zhang, what is Liu Zhang worthy of your loyalty?"


    In a word, Zhang Ren was shocked.


    Yes, what is Liu Zhang worthy of his loyalty?


    Liu Xiu continued: "in terms of ability, Liu Zhang is not a bit worse than Cao Cao and Sun Quan. It can be said that in addition to a powerful father, Liu Zhang was mediocre and incompetent in other aspects. Otherwise, it will not force Zhang Lu to turn against him and let him take over Hanzhong. "


    "Can Liu Zhang know people and make good use of them? Obviously not. "


    "If you don''t talk far away, just talk about Deng Xian."


    "Judging from his previous speech and manner, even though Deng Xian was good at marching and fighting, he was insidious and narrow-minded. Such a person is by no means a good talent. On the contrary, Deng Xian was highly valued by Liu Zhang. "


    "On the contrary, you worked hard in Nanyang County, planning for Yizhou everywhere and considering for Liu Zhang everywhere. In the end, Liu Zhang had a little praise. Not only no reward, but also direct punishment. "


    "If it wasn''t for Zhang Song and Fazheng''s persuasion, you would be sitting in the prison car now."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes became more fierce and forceful. He said: "at the beginning, Yizhou proposed the alliance with Jingzhou, saying that both sides should keep watch and help each other. However, Jingzhou encountered difficulties, Liu Zhang did not agree to send troops. That''s why I took out Nanyang County and Liu Zhang sent out his troops. "


    "As for morality, is this the morality of an ally?"


    "Such a short-sighted person is not a master."


    "Although Jingzhou and Yizhou are still allies, when it comes to Nanyang County, does general Zhang think that I will have a good impression on Yizhou? Nanyang County was attacked by Cao''s army. There are two reasons why my officer sent troops. "


    "First of all, general Zhang is really a good man. He is also a good general. Second, Nanyang County and Xiangyang have a cold shoulder. Once Nanyang County falls, Xiangyang will also be attacked. That''s why I sent troops to help."General Zhang Qinxian, the master of cultivation. Liu Zhang is not benevolent. Is general Zhang still loyal? I dare not say how powerful I am, how courteous I am. But at least we can guarantee that general Zhang will not be constrained, and that general Zhang will not be suspected and insulted. "


    My words are sincere.


    After hearing this, Zhang Ren also showed hesitation on his face.


    For Liu Xiu, Zhang Ren naturally admired him very much.


    Especially in this battle against Cao Cao, Zhang Ren saw Liu Xiu''s wisdom and decisiveness, as well as his control of the battlefield situation. Such a person is indeed worthy of being a master.


    Moreover, under Liu Xiu''s command, a large number of talents have indeed gathered.


    It can be said that Liu Xiu is absolutely not bad.


    Zhang Ren''s heart began to shake, but he had just been dismissed by Liu Zhang, and immediately transferred to Liu Xiu''s command. There was always something wrong in his heart.


    Seeing Zhang Ren''s intention, Liu Xiu struck while the iron was hot and asked, "General Zhang, Cao''s army is about to go south in a large scale. Xinye is in danger. Do you think Deng Xian can keep Xinye


    Zhang Ren didn''t even think about it. He said directly, "without Liu Jingzhou''s help, Deng Xian can''t keep it."


    Liu xiudao: "even if I help, Deng Xian can''t keep it."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "now the situation is critical. How can general Zhang stand by? For Jingzhou, Nanyang County should never be given to Cao Cao. General Zhang is very familiar with Xinye. At this time, he is in urgent need of his help. "


    Zhang Ren took a deep breath and suppressed his confused thoughts.


    After a moment''s silence, Zhang Ren stood up, arched his hand and said, "last general Zhang Ren, meet the Lord."


    "General Zhang, please get up."


    Liu Xiu was relieved at last.


    After all kinds of planning, Zhang Ren finally entered his command. It''s really gratifying.


    Zhang Ren suddenly said, "Lord, there will be one thing that needs to be agreed."


    Liu Xiu asked, "what''s the matter?"


    Zhang Ren replied: "with the power of the Lord, it will not be limited to Jingzhou. Next, we will attack Jiangdong and Yizhou. But if Yizhou is captured, I hope the Lord will spare Liu Zhang''s life. "


    Liu Zhang is unkind to him, he can''t be unkind to Liu Zhang.


    Moreover, in Zhang Ren''s eyes, Liu Zhang can not be Liu Xiu''s opponent, and will surely fail in the end. So Zhang Ren took the lead in putting forward his own request, hoping to save Liu Zhang''s life.


    Liu Xiu promised: "since general Zhang said that, I promise to conquer Yizhou in the future and never embarrass Liu Zhang. If he wants to leave, I will let Liu Zhang leave. If Liu Zhang is willing to stay under my command, I guarantee that he will be rich and prosperous all his life. "


    "Thank you, Lord!"


    Zhang Ren''s eyes showed a trace of joy.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "the three disciples of Tong Lao, general Zhang and Zilong, are all under my command. If we can make Zhang Xiu surrender in the future, it''s really a great joy."


    Zhang Ren didn''t know about Zhang Xiu. After all, when he came out of the mountain, Zhang Xiu didn''t pay homage to his teacher.


    Zhang Ren asked: "Lord, is Zhang Xiu also a disciple of the teacher?"


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "the first is you, the second is Zhang Xiu, and the last is Zilong."


    Zhang Ren''s face also showed a touch of expectation, saying: "if we can get together, it would be better. However, Zhang Xiu''s submission to Cao Cao makes it quite difficult for the Lord to attract Zhang Xiu. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "that''s the future. Let''s see."


    After a pause, Liu said: "as for your arrangement, my idea is to stay with me for the time being and not arrange any official positions. When Cao Cao is defeated, I will set up the Fifth Army in Nanyang County, and then you will take charge of the Fifth Army. What do you think? "


    After listening to Liu Xiu''s arrangement, Zhang Ren was very happy and said, "I will obey my Lord''s arrangement."


    Zhang Ren knows the structure of Liu Xiu''s command.


    At present, Liu Xiu has established four armies, all of which are his own. He was able to take charge of the Fifth Army. Obviously, Liu Xiu really accepted him and valued him so that he could take charge of the Fifth Army.

 Chapter 360

    In five days, Deng Xian dispatched soldiers from Ying County, Yin County, Chaoyang County and other places near Xinye county. At the same time, he wantonly recruited soldiers in Xinye, quickly gathered up 10000 troops, and then began to train the whole army.


    In addition, Deng Xian also ordered craftsmen to speed up the manufacture of bow and arrow, crossbow and other weapons.


    Deng Xian was full of ambition and quickly prepared for the war.


    On this day, the military school quickly came to the Yamen where Deng Xian lived and went straight to the study.


    "Dong! Dong


    Outside the study, the school knocked on the door and reported: "general, general Tong Sheng, you have something urgent to report."


    "Come in!"


    Deng Xian put down an account book and gave an order.


    In these five days, Deng Xian checked the financial books of Xinye county and found that the finance of Xinye county was very poor and there was not much money left in the Treasury. There was little money other than the pay for the soldiers.


    Deng Xian thought that running Nanyang County was a fat man who could earn money, but now it seems impossible.


    Tong Sheng entered the room and reported: "general, the big deal is not good."


    When Deng Xian saw Tong Sheng''s panic, he was not happy. He slapped him on the desk, and his face was gloomy.


    His action made Tong Sheng tremble.


    Deng Xian then asked, "what''s the system of being flustered? Tell me what happened


    Tong Sheng calmed down and said: "in Xinye County, news is being sent everywhere that Cao Cao has begun to gather troops on a large scale. It is estimated that 800000 troops will enter Nanyang County and then attack Jingzhou and Jiangdong."


    "Hiss!"


    Deng Xian took a cold breath and looked shocked.


    Eight hundred thousand!


    Such a force into Nanyang County, even if a person a saliva, are enough to drown him.


    Deng Xian was shocked in his heart, but he was a general after all and had certain ability to calm down quickly.


    After he was shocked, Deng Xian shook his head and said, "Cao Cao is exaggerating. There can not be so many troops. If Cao Cao could mobilize 200000 soldiers, he would have gone south. Now it''s said that there are 800000 troops. I''m familiar with rumors. You send orders to the general of the army to tell the soldiers that the 800000 troops are the threat of Cao''s army and are not to be feared. "


    "No!"


    Tong Sheng was very successful, but he was still worried.


    No matter whether the 800000 troops are real or not, and how many they are, Cao Cao''s momentum is already frightening.


    Tong Sheng turned and walked out. Suddenly, Deng Xian said, "wait a minute!"


    Tong Sheng quickly turns around and stands with a bow.


    Deng Xian asked: "recently, have you heard from Zhang Ren?"


    Referring to Zhang Ren, Tong Sheng shook his head and said, "report back to General Zhang. There is no news about General Zhang for the time being."


    Deng Xian squinted and said coldly, "remember, Zhang Ren is no longer a general or an official of Yizhou. Call him by his first name next time. Don''t call him general. If we do it again, we will be punished. "


    "No!"


    Tong Sheng was trembling and nodded.


    Hearing the speech, Deng Xian showed a touch of satisfaction in his eyes and waved: "step back!"


    "No!"


    Tong Sheng nodded and turned away.


    Deng Xian sat alone in his study and fell into thinking. In front of Tong Sheng, he said that Cao Cao''s army was not enough to be afraid, but in fact, Deng Xian was already afraid. No matter how many people there are in Cao Cao''s army, we can be sure that if Cao Cao publicizes this, there must be 100000 troops.


    On the other hand, his troops are only 10000 and have just been recruited. Once Cao Cao really killed him, he couldn''t stop him.


    "We must arrange the way back in advance, otherwise, once we are defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable."


    Deng Xian''s eyes narrowed and murmured to himself.


    I thought it was a good thing to come to Nanyang County, and I could squeeze out Zhang Ren. Now it looks like it''s a complete pit. If it''s 10000 or 20000 Cao Jun, he can resist, and he''s not afraid of it. But if it''s 10000 or 200000, it''s beyond the scope of resistance.


    "What if Cao Cao calls for surrender?"


    In Deng Xian''s mind, a possibility emerged. Compared with Cao Cao in the north, Liu Zhang in Yizhou is a sparrow, which can not be compared with Cao Cao.


    "Anyway, get ready to leave."


    Deng Xian didn''t plan to fight to death at all, and he began to retreat in his heart.


    ¡­¡­


    In the mountains, Jingzhou military camp.


    Liu Xiu, Pang Tong, Wei Yan and Zhang Ren were discussing the map. During this time, they were constantly deliberating and choosing the place to resist Cao Jun.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    The rapid sound of footsteps, from far to near.


    A sentinel quickly came to Liu Xiushen''s side and reported: "Mr. Qi, I just got information. According to the information, Cao Cao went south this time and mobilized a total of 800000 troops."


    "Ha Is Cao Cao going to bluff? "


    Liu Xiu gave a sneer, with a look of irony in his eyes.Pang Tong also had an expression of disbelief. He said faintly, "it''s impossible to have an army of 800000. This time, Cao Cao exaggerates. But it''s a good way. If you''re a little bit timid, you''ll be scared. "


    Liu Xiu said, "look for the news again!"


    "No!"


    The sentry stooped and turned back.


    Wei Yan''s face was dignified, and he said in a deep voice: "Lord, Cao Cao''s 800000 troops are fake. However, the actual strength should not be less than 100000. It is impossible for the forces in our hands to compete head on. It is also quite difficult to win more with less. It''s a tough battle. "


    Liu xiudao said: "Cao Cao''s true strength should be around 200000."


    This conclusion surprised Pang Tong, Wei Yan and Zhang Ren.


    As a matter of fact, Liu Xiu''s conclusion is not that the soldiers have inquired into the news, but that he has some memories of the battle of Chibi in his mind. He remembers that in that war, Cao Cao''s troops were about 200000, but in the end, he lost all his troops at the expense of his troops.


    It would be nice if Cao Cao could mobilize so many troops this time.


    Pang Tong said: "if Cao Cao really has 200000 talents, he should design well. Otherwise, our army will not be able to compete with Cao''s army. "


    Liu xiudao: "Cao''s army is powerful, but not impeccable. Just like before, when we dealt with the 5000 excellent cavalry under the command of Cao Cao, we lost only one or two hundred people, but in the end we captured thousands of horses and thousands of Cao soldiers. "


    Liu Xiu has sent people to escort more than 2000 captured horses back to Xiangyang and give them to Wen pin''s brush!


    Zhang Ren and Wei Yan''s face changed, and they looked heavy.


    The news is just adding insult to injury.


    Jingzhou is facing the attack of Cao Cao, which is a headache. Now, instead of uniting, Jiangdong has to take advantage of the opportunity to make profits. For Jingzhou, it''s like falling into the well.


    Pang Tong asked, "Lord, what shall we do?"


    Rao Shi Pang Tong''s stratagem was unparalleled. He was also extremely nervous when he heard that Cao Cao and Jiangdong were going to attack Jingzhou. After all, Cao Cao and Sun Quan are not simple, especially Cao Cao''s strong troops, quite terrible.


    Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said with a light smile: "what else can we do? Naturally, the soldiers are coming to block the water and cover the land. At present, although Jiang Jingzhou can not compete with Cao Cao, it is not easy for Cao Cao to attack. "


    Zhang Ren said: "Lord, I think we can withdraw from the mountain forest first, and then retreat to the water ferry, and then resist the Cao army."


    As the situation changes, Zhang Ren thinks that it is not appropriate to stay in the mountains and wait for Cao''s army to attack Xinye county. After all, Deng Xian is unreliable. It is the right way to garrison at the junshui ferry and seize the main road from Xinye to Chaoyang County.


    Liu Xiu stared at the map and nodded: "I mean it! Wei Yan, send orders to withdraw. "


    "No!"


    Wei Yan had to make an order to go down immediately.

 Chapter 361

    Jianshui ferry, also known as the lower ferry.


    As the name suggests, with the lower ferry, there is naturally the upper ferry. Only when you go to the ferry, you can get to Chaoyang County. Then you go south to Shandu county and enter Xiangyang.


    Liu Xiu''s position is the lower ferry.


    At the North ferry, all the boats have been demobilized, leaving only the boats on the south bank.


    "Wow!"


    In June, the water rises and the river is wide.


    The wide river course is nearly 15 feet long.


    Under the impact of the turbulent River, the river is like a natural moat.


    In fact, compared with the rivers in other places, the flow at the lower ferry is relatively gentle at this time of year. Because of the winding water, many places are full of whirlpool and it is not easy to sail. The situation at the lower ferry is quite good.


    Across the river, a man in black suddenly appeared.


    The man in black, with a crossbow in his hand, aimed at the south bank, whistled and pulled the trigger.


    "Bang!"


    The crossbow shot out, crossed an arc in the air, easily swept over the river bank and then fell.


    "Poof


    The bow and arrow hit the ground, just inside the camp.


    At this time, the royal guards in the camp jumped out. He picked up the crossbow and quickly went to the big bank of the Chinese army. Entering the tent, the royal guards handed over the crossbow.


    A note was tied to the crossbow.


    Liu Xiu took down the note and looked at the information recorded on it. His face suddenly changed.


    Cao Jun encircles Xinye, Deng Xian surrenders!


    The nine words on the note, reflected in Liu Xiu''s eyes, set off a storm in Liu Xiu''s heart.


    "Somebody


    Liu Xiu put down the note and called.


    A soldier came in and saluted, "my Lord!"


    Liu Xiu said, "please ask Pang Tong, Wei Yan and Zhang Ren to come to the big account for discussion."


    "No!"


    After boxing, the soldier turned and stepped down.


    Liu Xiu looked at the royal guards standing in the barracks and said, "continue to inquire about the news and pay close attention to Cao Jun''s movements."


    "No!"


    The royal guards bowed to salute and retired respectfully.


    Soon, Pang Tong, Zhang Ren and Wei Yan came to the big account.


    After the three sat down, Pang Tong couldn''t wait to ask: "Lord, do you have any new news?"


    Liu Xiu, with a dignified face, replied: "just after receiving the news, Cao Jun surrounded Xinye County, and then Deng Xian surrendered directly."


    "This son of a bitch!"


    Zhang Yiren gritted his teeth when he heard Xinye fall.


    Xinye county is the place where he garrisons. In order to defend Xinye County, almost all his soldiers died in Xinye. Now Deng Xian actually chose to surrender directly, which made it difficult for Zhang Ren to suppress his anger.


    Pang Tong, with a dignified face, said slowly, "the fall of Xinye means that Cao''s army will soon go south. In one day at most, he will arrive at the Jianshui ferry. The war has spread to this direction, and the prelude to the war is finally about to begin. "


    Wei Yantian was not afraid of the ground. He had a high morale in his eyes and said, "this battle is doomed to be a great defeat for the Cao army."


    Liu Xiu looked at Wei Yan and asked, "chief Wen, are you ready?"


    Wei Yan said: "Lord, don''t worry. Everything is ready."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "it''s certain that Cao Jun will go south. We''ll just wait."


    After that, Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Ren and said, "General Zhang, Deng Xian surrenders and Xinye falls. It''s bound to make waves in Nanyang County. Even in Yin County, Ying County, Zhangling county and other places, the morale of the troops will fluctuate. Now, we must stabilize the morale of the soldiers in all counties, so that they will not be swallowed by Cao Cao. "


    Zhang Ren asked, "what is the Lord going to do?"


    Liu Xiu said, "in your name, I reprimand Deng Xian for selling his main business. Then, he fought to the death against Cao Cao and called on the troops from Ying County, Yin County, Zhangling county and other places to gather in Chaoyang County. "


    "At this point, if we divide our forces to guard the counties, the final result will only be defeated by Cao Cao."


    "Rather than that, we should concentrate all our forces."


    Liu Xiu said: "save people and lose land, save land and lose people. As long as we keep our troops, it''s worth giving up counties for the time being. If Cao Cao is willing to divide his forces to guard these counties, let him go. "


    Zhang Ren brightened his eyes and said, "my Lord is right. I''ll arrange for people to gather the soldiers."


    With that, Zhang Ren left.


    ¡­¡­


    Xinye County, in the city.


    Cao Cao lived in the Yamen and discussed business in the hall.


    At first, Cao Cao decided to gather all the soldiers to go south within half a month. In fact, it took only 12 days to complete the assembly of 200000 troops.


    The 200000 troops are already the vast majority of Cao Cao''s troops.Cao Cao had great ambition and great hope to solve Jingzhou and Jiangdong at one stroke and completely pacify the world.


    Cao Cao looked at Xun you and asked, "Gongda, where is Liu Xiu?"


    Xun you replied, "report back to the prime minister. Liu Xiu led his troops to camp at the underwater ferry. Looking at Liu Xiu''s appearance, he intends to use the natural danger of the underwater ferry to stop the prime minister from going south. "


    "It''s just shaking the tree!"


    Cao Cao''s big sleeve is full of spirit.


    Deng Xian of Xinye County voluntarily offered his city to surrender, which means that the situation of Yizhou in Nanyang County was broken. The Yizhou garrison in other counties will lose their fighting power completely after they get the news.


    Jia Xu said: "prime minister, there is another news. After Deng Xian surrendered to the prime minister, Zhang Ren said that Deng Xian was a small man. In addition, Zhang Ren also sent letters to Ying County, Yin county and other places, calling on the soldiers of all counties to give up their persistence and go to Chaoyang County to meet and resist the prime minister together. "


    Cao Cao asked, "how many troops are there in each county?"


    Jia Xu replied: "before, Zhang Ren was determined to defend Xinye and took out some soldiers from various counties. Before that, Deng Xian also took out some soldiers. There should not be many troops left in the counties. "


    Cao Cao said: "I want data!"


    Jia Xu was silent for a moment, and said: "the total strength of all counties is expected to be about 6000 soldiers."


    "Six thousand!"


    Cao Cao''s eyes, showing a light.


    At this time, Deng Xian stood up and said: "prime minister, I don''t think the 6000 soldiers gathered in each county are enough to worry about. Today''s plan is to wipe out Liu Xiu''s soldiers. As long as Liu Xiu is defeated and Liu Xiu withdraws from Nanyang County, the troops of each county will be without leaders, and the enemy will be destroyed. "


    General Cao''s words are quite reasonable


    Suddenly, Cao Cao said, "Deng Xian, listen to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Deng Xian straightened up and answered in a loud voice.


    When Cao Cao''s army besieged the city, Cao Cao sent troops to surrender. Without any hesitation, Deng Xian surrendered directly. He didn''t resist at all and surrendered, so that many of Cao Cao''s generals looked at Deng Xian with a trace of contempt and disdain.


    Zhang Ren stayed in Xinye for seven days without surrendering.


    All of us admire Zhang Ren''s ability and personality.


    Deng Xian is different. In the eyes of all people, he is a soft bone. Even Cao Cao did not give Deng Xian any official position for the time being, but only received the support from the army. Deng Xian was naturally aware of this situation.


    Therefore, Deng Xian wanted to express himself and change his impression of Cao Cao and his generals.


    Cao Cao ordered: "general Deng, in this attack on Liu Xiu, the prime minister has given you the position of pioneer. There were nearly ten thousand soldiers in the original garrison of Xinye county. These soldiers have never been adapted, and they are still under your command. Now, you lead this army to the underwater ferry to attack Liu Xiu and make way for the prime minister. If Liu Xiu is defeated, the prime minister will be rewarded. "


    "No!"


    Deng Xian holds his fists and has high morale in his eyes.


    Cao Cao let him be a pioneer, which meant to consume this force, but more tests. If Deng Xian really defeated Liu Xiu and successfully occupied the underwater ferry, under the command of Cao Cao, Deng Xian would have a smooth foothold, which made people dare not despise.


    Cao Cao''s big sleeve flicked and said, "go down, I''m your good news."


    "I''ll leave at the end of the day!"


    Deng Xian nodded and turned to leave the government.


    He galloped his horse to the camp to mobilize soldiers to fight. Ten thousand soldiers followed Deng Xian and left Xinye county. They went all the way south to the underwater ferry.

 Chapter 362

    Underwater ferry!


    South bank, Liu Xiu barracks.


    The news that Deng Xian led the army to fight spread to Liu Xiu.


    After gathering all the people under his command, Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Ren and said with a smile, "General Zhang, Deng Xian led ten thousand soldiers to kill him. These ten thousand troops were either recruited or dispatched from various counties. Among them, there is your hard work. "


    Zhang Ren clenched his fist and said angrily, "Deng xianpifu is shameless and soft."


    Liu xiudao: "Deng Xian is a pioneer. It seems that Cao Cao doesn''t trust Deng Xian very much. Let Deng Xian take the lead this time, it means to test Deng Xian, but I''m afraid there are more ideas about consuming Deng Xian''s troops. "


    Liu Xiu asked again, "General Zhang, the soldiers under Deng Xian, can they instigate rebellion?"


    Zhang Ren''s sword eyebrows picked up and said: "the Lord''s meaning is to let them kill Deng Xian and then surrender? However, it is very difficult for us to persuade these 10000 troops to surrender across the river. "


    After a pause, Zhang Ren said: "the soldiers gathered in all counties are definitely willing to follow the last general. Deng Xian''s use of troops was ok, but he was very strict with soldiers and exploited military expenditure. His impression on the soldiers is not very good. "


    Liu Xiu said: "since Deng Xian has a bad impression on the soldiers, it is not impossible to persuade them to surrender the 10000 troops. As long as we grasp the weakness, it will work. "


    Zhang Ren said with a bitter smile, "I''m afraid it''s difficult to finish the speech of the last general."


    Liu Xiu big sleeve a brush, way: "no matter, you listen to my arrangement is. Later, we will prepare a small boat. We will stop at the center of the river and persuade the soldiers to rebel. "


    When Zhang Ren heard of the speech, he would not refuse and let Liu Xiu arrange it.


    Pang Tong laughed and said, "my Lord, are you going to persuade Wanjun to surrender with a sharp tongue?"


    Liu xiudao: "always have a try."


    Wei Yan''s eyes showed a trace of shock. He thought Liu Xiu''s action was too bold and risky. I''m afraid it''s not easy to succeed. However, Wei Yan did not follow Liu Xiu for a long time. He saw that Liu Xiu''s stratagem was always one link after another. He never failed, so he raised a glimmer of hope. If he succeeded, there would be another hard battle.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier entered the camp and reported: "my Lord, the soldiers led by Deng Xian are less than three miles away from the ferry."


    "I see!"


    Liu Xiu big sleeve a brush, get up a way: "Zhang general, go."


    With these words, Liu Xiu looked at Pang Tong and Wei Yan again and said, "you two are in the army, leading the army to line up by the river and hold the line for me."


    "No!"


    Pang Tong and Wei Yan nodded and clasped their fists.


    After leaving the camp, Liu Xiu and Zhang Ren boarded a small boat at the ferry, and then under the control of the boatman, they went slowly to the middle of the river.


    Now the water is rising, and the current is more turbulent. However, the location of the lower ferry is good. The boatman stops the boat in the middle of the river to prevent it from being washed away by the current.


    Liu Xiu was dressed in white, with a sword hanging on his waist and a silk scarf on his head. Zhang Yiyi, dressed in military uniform and wearing armor, stood beside Liu Xiu.


    Both of them stood in the bow of the boat, quietly looking at the ferry pier on the other side.


    On the North Bank of the river, there are large areas of reeds.


    At this time, the reeds are in pieces, and the river wind is blowing, constantly swaying.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes swept the official way on the north bank, and his eyes showed a look of expectation.


    Zhang Ren stood aside and said, "Lord, Deng Xian is here. What should I do?"


    Liu xiudao: "you don''t have to do anything. Just stand beside me."


    "No!"


    Zhang Ren''s eyes showed a trace of smile.


    In the army, Zhang Ren belongs to the type of saying more is better than doing more. Most of the time, they don''t even laugh. Let him face Deng Xian''s 10000 troops, crackling a lot of words, Zhang Ren feel very embarrassed.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    The sound of footsteps came from the North Bank of the river.


    After a short time, a dense army emerged from the official road on the north bank.


    Now the river is rising, and the horizon of the official road on the north bank is almost the same as that of the Gushui river. Liu Xiu looked around and saw this army clearly. The soldiers charged quickly, and Deng Xian was the man in the front.


    Deng Xian rode on a high horse with dark body, high spirited and fast forward.


    It wasn''t long before Deng Xian arrived at the North ferry.


    The army formation is quite spectacular.


    Deng Xian''s eyes, a fall in the center of the river, saw the bow of Liu Xiu and Zhang Ren.


    Deng Xian''s mouth was full of pride, and his whip pointed to the front. He said in a loud voice: "Liu Xiu, I was ordered by the prime minister to take 10000 troops as the vanguard to attack you. If you surrender to the prime minister as soon as you are a child, you will not die. If you resist stubbornly, there will be no bones left. "


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Liu Xiu couldn''t help laughing when he heard the speech.


    The laughter came to Deng Xian''s ears, but it was very harsh.Deng Xian roared: "Liu Xiu, the prime minister''s 800000 troops have come to kill us. If you are tenacious, Jingzhou will be ruined. You Jingzhou is only tens of thousands of troops, can you resist the prime minister''s 800000 troops? "


    Liu xiudao: "800000 troops, ha ha, Cao Cao is really shameless. If Cao Cao really had 800 thousand troops, he would have 400 thousand troops. Cao Cao''s little trick can''t deceive me. "


    After a pause, Liu xiudao said: "Deng Xian, how can you still sit on the horse when you help the tyrant and the tiger? Don''t you feel scared? "


    Deng Xiandao said: "good birds choose trees to live in, and good officials decide what to do. The prime minister is wise and powerful. Deng Xian follows the prime minister before and after the horse. That''s obedient to nature and people''s understanding. Not like you, stubborn resistance, do not know the number of days. At the end of the day, we have to die. All the soldiers who follow you will be killed. "


    Liu xiudao said: "it''s shameless. It''s shameless to be a traitor of the Lord, to sell the Lord for glory, and to put gold on your own face. If I were you, I would have jumped into the Gushui River and killed myself. How could I have the courage to speak? "


    Liu Xiu and Deng Xian came and went, constantly attacking each other.


    Zhang Ren stood aside and said nothing.


    He can''t do such things, and he''s not good at them. He can only watch Liu Xiu fight Deng Xian.


    However, Liu Xiu and Deng Xian argued for such a long time, Liu Xiu did not get to the point, Zhang Ren was a little anxious. Zhang Ren couldn''t understand how Liu Xiu wanted to suppress Deng Xian and incite the soldiers to mutiny.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said abruptly, "Deng Xiangou thief, even if you don''t want to be shameful, don''t be willing to degenerate and eat with animals."


    A beast, not only scolded Cao Cao, but also scolded Deng Xian.


    Deng Xian scolded: "Liu Xiu, you have a strong mouth, but unfortunately you are short of troops, so you can only use your mouth. I will tell the prime minister exactly what you say. Now you are arrogant and arrogant. When the prime minister''s army goes south and breaks Jingzhou, you will cry. "


    Liu Xiu sighed and continued: "in the past, when Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling were in power, the Han Dynasty was in decline, so that the eunuchs were in chaos and the imperial platforms were in chaos. After the Yellow turban rebellion, Dong Zhuo, Li Xi, Guo Si and others rose one after another, harming the common people, the imperial court and Zang people. "


    "When the thief Cao took the emperor, it made the imperial court even worse."


    "Now, rotten wood is an official in the temple, and animals eat bread in the temple."


    "The rats barking with wolf hearts roar at the imperial court, and the slaves control the government. As a result, the country turned into a Qiu ruins, and the common people suffered a lot. "


    Liu Xiu''s words were impassioned and continued: "the emperor was humiliated when the court was in trouble. If you have a little conscience, you know how to serve the emperor. But you, Deng Xian, not only don''t attack the thief Cao, but also add insult to injury. It''s worse than animals. "


    "Before you arrived in Xinye, Zhang Ren was stationed in Nanyang County."


    "Cao Ren''s army attacked Xinye for seven days in a row, with blood flowing and corpses everywhere. However, Zhang Ren did not surrender and did not allow Cao''s army to advance half a step, which made Cao''s army lose his general at the expense of his troops. "


    "I admire and admire General Zhang very much for his conduct."


    Liu Xiu said: "so Nanyang County was attacked by Cao bandits. My officer was the first to lead the army to support and prevent Nanyang County from falling. I don''t know. You, the traitor of the Lord, directly dedicated the city to Cao Cao. You are so servile that I have to admire you. "


    With these words, the language became more and more sharp.


    Zhang Ren stood aside, listening to Liu Xiu''s words, his face gradually had a smile.

 Chapter 363

    Deng Xian listened to Liu Xiu''s words, clenched his fist, and his eyes were cold.


    Damn it!


    Liu Xiu is so hateful!


    But he can''t stop it, because his mouth is on Liu Xiu.


    Deng Xian thought: you scold it, when you scold it, in the end, you have to face the attack. The more you scold, the more angry Prime Minister Cao is. It will be difficult for you to survive.


    Liu Xiu entered the state and continued: "Deng Xian, before you came to Xinye, you were a general in Yizhou."


    "Liu Zhang of Yizhou, the patriarch of the Han Dynasty, is the son of heaven. I often hear Zhang Ren say that Liu Zhang often teaches you to be loyal to the emperor and the country, and to train your soldiers to fight against Cao thieves. "


    "I didn''t expect that you were ordered to come to Nanyang County. In a twinkling of an eye, you surrendered to Cao Cao."


    "You are a minister of the Han Dynasty, but you work for the thief Cao and are unfaithful to the emperor."


    "You are a subordinate of Liu Zhang. You are a seller and you are not benevolent to Liu Zhang."


    "You and Zhang Ren are colleagues, but they persecute Zhang Ren. As a result, Zhang Ren has to be exiled and unjust to Zhang Ren."


    "Your grandparents wanted you to be successful and famous. However, you are willing to degenerate, willing to die together with Cao thief. Unfilial to the ancestors. "


    "You are unfaithful, unfilial and unrighteous. What face do you have to live in the world?"


    Liu Xiu''s words are like the words of killing the heart.


    Deng Xian''s anger surged up when he heard these words. Liu Xiu was hateful.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu''s mouth is so tricky.


    Liu Xiu did not stop, but continued: "you Deng Xian are not only unfaithful, unfilial and unrighteous, but also harsh on the soldiers under his command. You not only cut the pay, but also beat and scold at will. I heard that there was a soldier in Yizhou who was detained because of his salary. He asked you about it, but he was killed by you. It''s a common people of soldiers to have a general like you. It''s blind of Liu Zhang to trust and value you. "


    "Soldiers, you are soldiers of the Great Han Dynasty. Do you want to follow Deng Xian and serve for Cao thief?"


    "Zhang Ren was exiled, and now he has not forgotten to fight back against the Cao thieves."


    "Zhang Ren''s meeting with my official is to fight against the Cao thief, so as not to let the Cao thief show off his evil. Zhang Ren has made a choice. What are you hesitating about? "


    "Deng Xian is unfaithful, unfilial and unrighteous. Are you really willing to follow him to bear the blame?"


    Liu Xiu''s tone became sharper and sharper. He said in a loud voice: "a man is a man. He has something to do and something not to do. Soldiers, take up your weapons and fight against the Cao bandits with our officers and Zhang Ren. "


    Zhang Ren grasped the right time, clenched his fist, waved in the air and roared: "fight against Cao thief."


    At this time, Deng Xian''s soldiers began to have a discussion.


    The soldiers hesitated.


    Liu Xiu''s words made the soldiers in the army a little excited.


    Deng Xian has a cold face and fierce eyes. He didn''t expect Liu Xiu to incite the soldiers. It''s really hateful. At this time, the soldiers in the army were talking more and more. Since they joined the army, they have indeed paid a lot for food, clothing and military salaries, which can not be compared with Zhang Ren''s time.


    Obviously, Deng Xianke withheld their food and rations.


    Liu Xiu once again said in a loud voice: "what are you waiting for, what are you hesitating about? Are you willing to be bullied by Deng Xian? Are you all willing to follow Deng Xian to be a traitor? "


    Like the words of the morning bell and the evening drum, they reverberate on the waves.


    Deng Xian''s soldiers are restless.


    Zhang Ren was shocked when he saw this scene. Liu Xiu''s mouth is really powerful. But this is also Liu Xiu Deng Xian''s weakness to seize the attack, in order to achieve such an effect.


    Deng Xian at the moment, has reached the critical point of the outbreak. With a flick of his sleeve, he ordered, "prepare the raft and cross the river."


    Having considered crossing the river before, Deng Xian arranged for the soldiers to prepare the raft.


    After he gave the order, none of his soldiers took action.


    This scene, let Deng Xian chest backlog of anger burst out.


    Deng Xian turned his horse around and said, "you bastards have eaten and used my official''s. Now you have to listen to Liu Xiu''s provocation. Are you impatient? "


    Strong words came from Deng Xian''s mouth. Now I still think that the soldiers are weak and can be deceived. As long as he yells twice, the soldiers dare not resist.


    "General, I want to borrow something from the general."


    Suddenly, Deng Xian''s side, a small school mouth. It''s just the tone of his voice. It''s a little strange.


    "What do you want to borrow?" Deng asked


    Xiaoxiao grinned and showed his white teeth, and said, "use the general''s head."


    "Sonorous!"


    When the voice fell, the iron sword came out of its sheath and stabbed directly.


    "Poof


    The sharp point of the Sword Pierced Deng Xian''s chest.


    Deng Xian''s eyes widened, his face was shocked, and his expression was extremely painful. His eyes are full of incredible, reaching out to the school, trembling way: "you, you are bold."The little school said, "general, I''m just fat."


    The small school hands a force, the sword tip smashed Deng Xian''s heart, and then quickly out.


    "Poof!"


    Blood gushed out, Deng Xian screamed and fell off the horse.


    Deng Xian''s body fell down from his horse. After rolling twice, he lost his breath completely.


    After throwing away the iron sword, the school faced Liu Xiu and Zhang Ren and said in a loud voice, "Liu Jingzhou, we are willing to follow Liu Jingzhou and general Zhang to resist Cao thieves."


    "We are willing to follow Liu Jingzhou and general Zhang to resist Cao thieves."


    The rest of the soldiers were shouting.


    "Resist the Cao thief!"


    "Resist the Cao thief!"


    The deep sound reverberated over the water.


    Liu Xiu had a smile on his face. This time, he won 10000 soldiers without a single soldier. While weakening Cao Cao, he also strengthened his own forces.


    Zhang Ren arched his hand and said, "my Lord, I''ll be obedient."


    At the moment, Zhang Ren is convinced.


    It''s incredible to kill Deng Xian with a sharp tongue.


    Liu Xiu said with a light smile: "the reason why we can succeed is also because of you. When you are in Xinye, you share weal and woe with the soldiers to make them believe you and trust you. Without you, it is impossible to urge the soldiers to kill Deng Xian. "


    Zhang Ren agreed with Liu Xiu''s analysis, but still said, "my Lord is modest. His three inch tongue is worth tens of thousands of troops at least."


    Liu Xiu laughed and immediately ordered the soldiers to sail across the river to accept them. At the same time, soldiers on the other side of the river began to ride bamboo rafts down the South Bank of the ferry.


    After ten thousand new soldiers crossed the river, they were included in the army.


    However, the 10000 soldiers were not reorganized, and Liu Xiu directly handed them over to Zhang Ren. In this way, Zhang Ren had 10000 troops, plus 6000 troops recruited from various counties. The number of soldiers under Zhang renneng''s command has exceeded 15000.


    After the formation of more than 10000 troops, this is the Fifth Army.


    After Cao Cao''s vanguard army was solved, rafts and ships returned to their original positions.


    The army was stationed at xiadukou, waiting for Cao Cao''s next attack.


    The news soon spread to Xinye county.


    When Cao Cao got the news, he was shocked and annoyed. After a few words of abuse, he vented his anger and gave a direct order: "come, please come to discuss business with Xun you, Cheng Yu and Jia Xu."


    The soldiers went to send orders. Soon, the three came to the study.


    After sitting down, Cheng Yu saw that Cao Cao''s face was not very good and asked, "prime minister, what happened?"


    Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "when Deng Xian was killed, all the soldiers under his command defected."


    Cheng Yu, Xun you and Jia Xu were all shocked. Deng Xiancai was killed so soon after his army left. No matter how stupid Deng Xian was, he would not be like this?


    Xun you said, "Lord, what''s the matter?"


    Cao Cao sighed and replied: "according to the news from the soldiers, Deng Xian led 10000 vanguard troops to the underwater ferry. Liu Xiu and Zhang Ren took a boat to the middle of the river. Then Liu Xiu incited Deng Xian''s soldiers to fight back with his mouth open, and Deng Xian died not in Liu Xiu''s hands, but in the hands of his school. Xiao Xiao killed Deng Xian and surrendered with all the soldiers. "


    "Hiss!"


    Cheng Yu took a cold breath and said: "incredible! It''s incredible. Liu Xiu is really a man of both arts and martial arts. He can be said to be the prime minister''s strong enemy. "


    Cao Cao sighed: "Liu Xiu is so wise and intelligent, but he is Liu Biao''s son."


    In the words, there is a strong regret.


    Although Cao Cao''s disciples are extremely clever. However, compared with Liu Xiuyi, he is a bit inferior, and is not on the table at all.


    As a result, Cao Cao was quite sorry.


    Jia Xu calculated carefully and said, "prime minister, Liu Xiu has recruited ten thousand troops under Deng Xian''s command. It means that his troops are close to 20000. In addition, Liu Xiu, in the name of Zhang Ren, let the garrison of Ying County, Yin county and other counties withdraw, and all gathered in Chaoyang County. As a result, Liu Xiu''s troops in Nanyang County have exceeded 20000, reaching 30000. "


    When the words came out, everyone looked serious.


    What Liu Xiu is good at most is to defeat the strong by the weak. When the troops are stronger, they are more difficult to deal with.

 Chapter 364

    Cao Cao''s eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu has set up his position at the underwater ferry, obviously waiting for us. Now the prime minister''s army has been assembled and ready to fight. How do you attack Liu Xiu? "


    Cheng Yu stroked his long beard and replied, "Lord, Liu Xiu''s camp is next to the underwater ferry. Can we build a dam upstream and then scour it? "


    Cao Cao said: "Liu Xiu knows how to use the military, the most basic preventive measures, he will not make mistakes."


    Cheng Yu said, "if a wise man worries a lot, he will lose something. Sometimes, it''s just a small mistake that leads to defeat. If Liu Xiu''s camp is really close to the river, once the river rises, he will be affected. "


    Cao Cao looked at the three men under his command and said, "since Duke Zhongde doesn''t believe it, let''s go to a high place near xiadukou and find out how Liu Xiu camped."


    Immediately, Cao Cao led Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and Xun you to leave the camp. Xu Chu''s body has recovered, he took two guards to follow, and also left the camp together.


    They came to xiadukou, climbed a hillside nearby and looked down at Liu Xiu''s camp.


    Liu Xiu''s camp is about 100 feet away from the river.


    The camp is slightly higher than the official road near the river. Even if it rains heavily, you don''t have to worry about the flooding of the river, which will lead to the flooding of the camp.


    Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu and said, "Mr. Zhong, you know the layout of Liu Xiu''s camp. Can you still use the strategy of flooding?"


    Cheng Yu said: "the prime minister is wise. Liu Xiu has made preparations."


    Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "it seems that there are not many soldiers patrolling in Liu Xiu''s camp, but it gives people a feeling of loose outside and tight inside. It must be that he has made preparations to prevent sudden attacks. It''s not easy to suddenly attack Liu Xiu''s camp. "


    After a pause, Jia Xu said, "look at the ferry on the south bank. There are boats and rafts moored at the ferry. These boats and rafts are enough to ensure that Liu Xiu''s army can cross the river. On the contrary, if our soldiers want to cross the river, they have to transfer ships. "


    Xun you looked serious and said slowly, "if you want to fight Liu Xiu, the first problem is to cross the river. You must cross the river before you can fight the Yizhou army."


    As soon as Cao Cao brushed his sleeve, he said, "if so, cross the river first."


    Xun you said, "prime minister, Liu Xiu is waiting for a rabbit on the south bank. If our troops were all concentrated on crossing the river at xiadukou, we would certainly be hit with Liu Xiu''s full strength. I''m afraid it''s not easy to cross the river. Even though our bows and arrows are powerful, Liu Xiu''s catapult and rhubarb crossbow are stronger enough to suppress a large number of our troops. "


    Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "how does Gongda think about it?"


    Looking at the camp on the other side of the river, Xun you said slowly, "I have checked the situation of the river. Besides the lower ferry, there is the upper ferry. However, the upper ferry is not in Xinye County, and the distance is too far to choose. "


    "However, we can cross the river by boat."


    "No matter where it is, as long as it is suitable for launching, you can cross the river."


    Xun you said: "the army is attacking here to attract Liu Xiu''s attention. Then, on the upper reaches of the river, some soldiers were sent to cross the river. As long as the army crossed the river, it could go straight to Liu Xiu''s barracks. At that time, we can not only surprise Liu Xiu''s cavalry, but also let us quickly cross the river from the lower ferry, and then attack Liu Xiu


    With a smile on his face, Xun you said, "once you cross the river, Liu Xiu''s army can no longer stop the Lord''s army."


    Cao Cao said with a light smile, "Gongda, you mean to make preparations."


    Xun you said: "if the crossing at the lower ferry is successful, the troops crossing the river from another place are in reserve, which is regarded as two-way preparation. If the lower ferry does not cross the river smoothly, then the strength of another place will be crucial. "


    Cao Cao took another look at the barracks on the other side of the river and said, "let''s do this. Let''s go."


    After the four left, they returned to xinyecheng and gave the order to March.


    Cao Cao personally led the army to hold the battle line and went down to the ferry. At the same time, he recruited ships of all sizes from the surrounding areas. After the army arrived at the lower ferry, Cao Cao came to the side of the ferry.


    At the same time, Liu Xiu also stood at the ferry on the other side of the river.


    Looking at Cao Cao on the other side of the ferry, Liu Xiu suddenly said in a loud voice, "Prime Minister Cao is surrounded by soldiers. Are you worried that I will send archers to snipe?"


    At this time, on both sides of the ferry, there was only the sound of the river clattering, a silence.


    When Liu Xiu opened his mouth, his voice reached the other side.


    Cao Cao''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu. After 15 Zhang''s distance, he still saw Liu Xiu''s face. Compared with the time when he met Liu Xiu last year, Liu Xiu is now more calm and has the bearing of a superior.


    Cao Cao said in a loud voice: "Liu Xiu, the prime minister has been fighting for decades. How can he be afraid of archers?"


    Liu Xiu put a smile on his lips and made a bold decision. He said in a loud voice: "Prime Minister Cao has been fighting for decades, and his courage is amazing. If so, how dare you stay on the river with me for a while? "


    As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao and his generals changed their faces.Meet on the river!


    Such a move is too risky.


    Cheng Yu didn''t even want to think about it, but directly remonstrated: "the prime minister can''t, Liu Xiu is a tricky boy. From my point of view, he is deliberately agitating the prime minister. If the prime minister agrees to his request, once he gets to the river, Liu Xiu may launch an attack against him. After all, our soldiers are not used to water warfare, but Liu Xiu''s soldiers are used to fighting on water. "


    "If the prime minister does not agree, Liu Xiu will take this opportunity to attack the prime minister. In contrast, Liu Xiu is just taking advantage of his mouth to make him arrogant and ignore him. "


    Cheng Yu said solemnly: "Prime Minister Wan Jin''s body, please think twice."


    Cao Cao laughed, stroked his short beard under his jaw and said, "Mr. Zhong De, you are serious." As he spoke, his eyes sparkled, and he had already expressed his will.


    Cheng Yu said, "there is no trivial matter when it comes to the safety of the prime minister."


    Others suggested that Cao Cao should not meet Liu Xiu on the river.


    On the other side of the river, Liu Xiu once again said, "Prime Minister Cao, dare you stay on the river for a while?" The words of inquiry once again spread over the water.


    The voice spread all over the army.


    For a moment, everyone''s eyes fell on Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao said with a loud laugh: "Liu Xiu, what kind of stratagem has he never met since he has been in the battlefield for decades? What kind of waves have you never seen? With a little provocation, you want me to fall in the trap and underestimate me. "


    "Hoo


    Cheng Yu was relieved and relaxed.


    Jia Xu and Xun you were also relieved when they heard that Cao Cao was impulsive.


    As soon as the words changed, Cao Cao continued: "but how can I refuse your sincere invitation? I''ll meet you on the river


    This is like a storm, swept Cheng Yu, Xun you and others.


    One face worried, all dissuaded.


    In their opinion, it is not appropriate for a commander to take risks with his own body, and it is also a taboo for a March.


    Cheng Yu once again said: "the Lord can not."


    On weekdays, Cheng Yu was called "prime minister". In a hurry, he called the Lord directly.


    Cao Cao''s big sleeve flicked and said: "Mr. Zhong De, the prime minister has decided, so I don''t need to persuade him any more. When I meet Liu Xiu on the river, I will bring Xu Chu with me. With Xu Chu in, you don''t have to worry about the safety of the prime minister. "


    Xu Chu stepped forward and said, "gentlemen, Xu Chu must protect the prime minister."


    At this time, Liu Xiu was also quite surprised.


    Cao Cao agreed!


    How bold!


    This courage is not possessed by ordinary people. It''s shocking that a man in charge of half of the country, commanding the government, and hundreds of thousands of troops, actually agreed to Liu Xiu''s request.


    Liu xiulang said in a voice: "Prime Minister Cao is so bold, please!"


    Immediately, Liu Xiu got on the boat alone and let the soldiers control the boat and go to the middle of the river. At the same time, Cao Cao on the other side also boarded a boat and went to the middle of the river.


    It wasn''t long. The two ships met in the middle of the river.

 Chapter 365

    Two ships, gradually close.


    "Bang!"


    There was a slight crash, and the two ships collided. Then, the soldiers quickly fixed the ship, so that the two ships temporarily parallel, not separate.


    Liu Xiu walked out of the cabin and said with a smile, "Prime Minister Cao, Liu Xiu has been waiting for a long time. Please get on board."


    Cao Cao also walked out of the cabin and said: "Liu Jingzhou, prime minister has been waiting for a long time. Let''s have a talk on the boat of prime minister. "


    They both asked each other to get on their own boat.


    Among them, the dispute is about who is the host and who is the guest. When Cao Cao arrived on Liu Xiu''s ship, it was Cao Cao as a guest and Liu Xiu as the main one. When Liu Xiu arrived on Cao Cao''s boat, Liu Xiu was the guest and Cao Cao was the main one.


    After all, it doesn''t make much sense.


    It''s just a name.


    Liu Xiu suddenly began to laugh and said, "Prime Minister Cao has come from the north. He is tired. As the leader of Jingzhou, I should be treated as a guest. Therefore, it is only reasonable for the prime minister to have a cup of tea on the next boat. "


    Cao Cao said: "the prime minister worships the emperor and governs the officials. As prime minister, he assisted the emperor in governing the world. It is the so-called "King''s land" and "King''s officials" who lead the land. When the prime minister came to Jingzhou, he was on behalf of the emperor to inspect Jingzhou and clarify the chaos. In the final analysis, Jingzhou is also under the jurisdiction of the prime minister, so Liu Jingzhou, please have a talk on board. "


    Both of them fought with each other, and they did not give up.


    Sitting in the cabin, Xu Chu couldn''t keep up with the rhythm when he heard the clouds.


    The expression on Liu Xiu''s face was neither humble nor overbearing, and he said slowly: "the prime minister assisted the emperor, which is correct. However, the prime minister''s role is to regulate - Harmony - Yin - Yang and sort out government affairs. It is a fallacy to govern a place. "


    "If the prime minister is directly in charge of the States, I''m afraid there will still be endless administrative affairs to deal with."


    "If so, what is the purpose of setting up state animal husbandry? Only one prime minister can serve concurrently. "


    Liu Xiu calmly counterattacked, saying: "the state herdsman, the shepherd, is to replace the emperor, not the prime minister. The prime minister''s hand can''t reach Jingzhou casually. If he crosses the border, he will be cut off. "


    Cao Cao said with a smile: "Liu Jingzhou''s mouth is unreasonable. It''s not simple. The prime minister, instead of sorting out the affairs of the emperor, naturally has the right to intervene in the affairs of Jingzhou. I''m afraid it''s not easy for Liu Jingzhou to chop his hands. "


    Liu xiudao: "isn''t it easy to chop hands? The hand rises and the knife falls. As soon as you open and close your eyes, it''s done. "


    Cao Cao countered: "it''s easy to swing a knife, but you should pay attention to falling it. Maybe the edge of the knife fell on my own hand. This is the same reason as lifting a stone and hitting yourself in the foot. "


    Liu xiudao: "I''ve never failed to chop other people''s hands with a knife. Liu Bei''s hand reached Jingzhou and was chopped by me; Sun Quan''s hand reached Jingzhou and was also chopped. Before that, Prime Minister Cao asked Cao Ren to stretch out his hand and was also chopped? "


    Cao Cao said with a smile: "what a special hand chopper."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "prime minister, please!"


    "Please


    As soon as Cao Cao''s sleeves were brushed, he stepped into Liu Xiu''s boat.


    Two people into the cabin, the ship''s small wooden table on a brazier, teapot on the charcoal.


    "Gollum! Grunt


    The tea was boiling and steaming.


    A strong aroma of tea filled the cabin.


    Liu Xiu poured a cup of tea for Cao Cao and said, "please!"


    Then Liu Xiu poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip of it before he said, "a pot of tea on the river is really comfortable." Seeing Liu Xiu drinking tea, Cao Cao took a cup and took a sip.


    Liu Xiu laughed, but did not break it.


    Cao Cao put down his cup and said, "tea is good, but I chose the wrong place."


    Liu xiudao: "the prime minister doesn''t think it''s the best place to make tea on the river?"


    Cao Cao shook his head and said, "if you are in the prime minister''s office in Xu county, it will be very good. After having a good tea talk, I still have a very good old wine. I can get drunk with Liu Jingzhou. "


    Liu xiudao: "the prime minister''s remark reminds me. You see, I didn''t invite the prime minister to the prefecture to drink. But don''t worry, the prime minister. When I get into Xu county, I''ll have a good drink with the prime minister. The place is in the prime minister''s house. "


    Cao Cao laughed and said, "what a great spirit!"


    Liu xiudao: "a man should have ambition, otherwise how to rise up?"


    Cao Cao said: "looking back at that time, at your age, the Prime Minister set his ambition to follow the example of the champion Hou Huo Qubing, to march on the Xiongnu and to invade the foreign race. It''s a pity that over half of this year''s achievements have not been achieved. It''s a good thing to make up one''s mind early and make up one''s mind. It''s a pity that heaven doesn''t fulfill people''s wishes and it''s hard to succeed. "


    Liu xiudao: "is the prime minister telling me that you are a living example? It''s just different people, different roads. Back then, I''m afraid the prime minister was still struggling at my age. Now I''m in charge of Jingzhou, and I have more than 100000 troops under my command. I''m totally different from the prime minister


    Cao Cao sneered and said: "can Liu Jingzhou afford to support tens of thousands of troops? Tens of thousands of people, this is an imaginary number. Even if it''s an imaginary number, it''s only a hundred thousand. It''s a pity. Under the prime minister''s command, there are 800000 troops. That''s the tiger''s view of the world. "Liu xiudao said: "Jingzhou is rich in natural resources. Is it difficult to form tens of thousands of troops?"


    "It''s hard," Cao Cao said


    Liu xiudao: "the prime minister is ignorant."


    Cao Cao said, "I''d like to hear it in detail."


    Liu Xiu asked, "how many people do the prime minister think I have in Nanyang County?"


    Cao Cao put up three fingers in his right hand and said, "at most 30000 people."


    Liu Xiu raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and replied, "OK, let''s take 30000 people as the criterion. As the prime minister knows, the troops of Nanyang County are only the Fifth Army I set up. I also have the first, second, third and fourth armies under my command. The four armies were all formed before the establishment of the Nanyang Fifth Army. The prime minister thought about it. How about the troops under my command? "


    This words, Cao Cao''s eyes deep, more than a trace of fear.


    Five armies!


    If each army has 30000 people, there are already 150000.


    Cao Cao soon regained his calm, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and said, "Liu Jingzhou is boasting again. Alas, young people like this and boast."


    Liu xiudao: "prime minister, don''t you believe it?"


    Cao Cao affirmed: "you and I are all military personnel, familiar with the army, understand that the situation of each army is different, the strength is also different, and the combat effectiveness is also high and low. I''m afraid it''s impossible to ensure that the number of each army is 30000. The prime minister is not ignorant of military affairs. Why should Liu Jingzhou cheat me? "


    Liu xiudao: "the prime minister doesn''t believe it. It''s the prime minister''s business. In fact, the five armies are my garrison, not each county''s own. If we mobilize the forces of the counties and counties again, there will be only a large number of people. "


    Cao Cao said with a smile: "according to your calculation method, the number of troops under the prime minister''s command is even more incalculable. If I had known that, I should have sent another 200000 troops to the south, making up one million. "


    Liu Xiu said, "the prime minister said just now that young people boast. Why did he come to you? The prime minister''s 800, 000 military personal leave should be only 200, 000. With the soldiers lost before, there should be no more than 200000 now. Prime minister, what I said is correct? "


    In a word, Cao Cao''s face changed a little.


    As a matter of fact, Cao Cao''s army going south is indeed 200000. This data is known by Cao Cao, Xun you, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and others. It is only known by core personnel, and it is almost impossible for outsiders to know. In particular, it is very difficult to count the number of Cao Cao''s troops mobilized from all over the country.


    As soon as Liu Xiu opened his mouth, he said the exact number.


    It''s not easy!


    Cao Cao''s heart, under the judgment.


    Cao Cao''s suspicious nature, he began to ponder in his heart, I''m afraid someone secretly passed the news to Liu Xiu.


    A moment later, Cao Cao''s expression has returned to calm.


    With a smile on his face, he said: "Liu Jingzhou''s guess is purely groundless and groundless. I''m afraid you are afraid of the truth. You deliberately create such data to comfort yourself. "


    Liu xiudao: "prime minister, don''t tell lies in front of real people. Don''t you think I don''t know your message? The day has eyes, the night has ears. How can you cover up your massive mobilization of troops? "


    Cao Cao laughed and said, "Liu Jingzhou, you are wrong. The prime minister''s army is more than 200000. It''s impossible to have 800000 troops, but 200000 troops are far more than that. "

 Chapter 366

    No matter how Liu Xiu guessed it, Cao Cao could not admit it.


    Once admitted, the momentum will be weaker.


    Cao Cao changed his words and said, "Liu Jingzhou, the prime minister, dominates the north. He has a strong army. How can he lie?"


    Liu xiudao: "Prime Minister Cao, whether it is true or not, I have a steelyard in my heart. If I believe you, there is no need to fight this battle. I will surrender directly. In particular, there are precedents for Prime Minister Cao to lie. "


    "Oh, what?"


    In Cao Cao''s eyes, there is a trace of curiosity.


    He wants to hear what Liu Xiu wants to attack with his lies?


    Liu Xiuse said: "in the battle of Guandu, Xu you defected to Prime Minister Cao. He once asked Prime Minister Cao how much food he still had in his army. As a result, Prime Minister Cao said that there was no need to worry about food at all, and it was enough for soldiers to use. As a matter of fact, Prime Minister Cao''s grain has reached the bottom, and the soldiers in the army are fighting with hunger. Xu you''s words pierced the lie of Prime Minister Cao, and then put forward the stratagem of raiding WuChao, so that Prime Minister Cao could turn the tide and lay the foundation for dominating the north. "


    Cao Cao''s face was pale and said, "the art of war is full of words. It''s normal that it''s true and false."


    Liu xiudao: "it''s true. Just like now, Prime Minister Cao has announced that there are 800000 troops going south, which is very frightening. As soon as the news came out, I was too scared to fight. But in fact, it''s only 200000 troops. "


    Cao Cao said with a smile: "Liu Xiu, after the prime minister won, if you want, the prime minister promised to let you become an official in the court. Even if you want to be in charge, the prime minister can allow it. "


    Cao Cao really appreciated Liu Xiu.


    This boy has excellent ability and is in line with Cao Cao''s temper.


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "well, thank you, Prime Minister. You said that, strengthened my determination to fight to the end. If he wins, it will be hard for Prime Minister Cao to come to Jingzhou. If you lose, you can also become an official in the court. It''s a steady business. "


    Cao Cao said with a smile: "in the past, Prime Minister Liu Bei and once cooked wine to talk about heroes. Do you know?"


    Liu xiudao: "of course I know. The prime minister said that the only heroes in the world are the prime minister and Liu Bei."


    Cao Cao shook his head and said: "now it seems that the prime minister underestimates the heroes in the world. Among the heroes in the world, you are Liu Xiu. As for Liu Bei, although he is tenacious, he is also in bad luck. When he meets you, he is restrained everywhere, so that he runs away in confusion and wanders


    Liu xiudao said: "Liu Bei was originally a sojourner in Jingzhou. It''s only natural that he lost."


    Liu Xiu is still sorry for his failure to kill Liu Bei.


    If Liu Bei is dead, it means that he has one less threat.


    Cao Cao sighed: "Liu Bei didn''t die, but Yun Chang died in battle. It''s a pity. If he had chosen to follow me, it would not have been the end of today. It''s a pity that he is not willing to follow me. Time and fate


    Liu xiudao said: "in some cases, it was because Guan Yu left that the prime minister never forgot him. If at the beginning, Guan Yu surrendered and was loyal to you, maybe you don''t have such an idea. "


    "That''s right!"


    In Cao Cao''s eyes, there was a deep expression.


    All of a sudden, Cao Cao returned to the truth and said, "Liu Xiu, the prime minister led hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers to the south. Your troops are bound to be unable to resist. Do you really want to beat the stone with eggs?"


    If we can solve the problem of Jingzhou without fighting, it is naturally the best.


    Cao Cao''s heart, or did not give up.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "prime minister, remember what I told you at the beginning?"


    "What''s the matter?" Asked Cao Cao.


    Liu xiudao: "at the beginning, I met the prime minister in Xu county. The prime minister said that he would attack Jingzhou. Therefore, I put forward the difficulties for the prime minister to go south to Jingzhou, and enumerated the reasons why it was impossible to capture Jingzhou. Now, I still insist on the same attitude. It is not so easy for the prime minister to attack Jingzhou. Maybe all the hundreds of thousands of troops under the prime minister will stay in the south. "


    Cao Cao said: "what a big tone. I''ll wait and see."


    Liu Xiu also looked confident, and said: "although the prime minister looks at it, it''s just the underwater ferry. The prime minister doesn''t have 10000 or 20000 people on top of him. He can''t cross the river."


    When Cao Cao heard the speech, he saw a trace of coldness in his eyes and said, "Liu Xiu, you are arrogant. Ten or twenty thousand troops are lost at the lower ferry. It''s impossible. "


    Liu xiudao: "prime minister, just have a try."


    After a pause, Liu xiudao said: "if the prime minister wants to cross the river from the upper ferry or other places, and then attack the garrison on the south bank, I advise the prime minister to give up his idea as soon as possible. I''ve sent soldiers to patrol the river. Once the prime minister''s soldiers want to steal across the river, I''ll find out immediately. "


    Liu Xiu solemnly said: "in addition, I have sent troops to block all the main roads leading to the south bank ferry. Even if I cross the river, it will be very difficult to sneak attack. Therefore, the only way for the prime minister is to force him to cross the lower ferry. But it''s not so easy to cross the river by force. Tens of thousands of troops under my command are already well prepared. "In a word, Cao Cao''s face changed slightly.


    Before that, Xun you proposed to divide the troops to cross the river from other places. Now, it doesn''t work.


    However, Cao Cao is still very confident, said: "Liu Xiu, we will wait and see."


    "Wait and see!"


    Liu Xiu had a look of expectation in his eyes.


    Cao Cao stood up and said, "thank you for your tea. I''ve drunk it and said goodbye."


    "Please


    Cao Cao stood up to see Liu Cao off.


    When Cao Cao left his boat and returned to Cao Jun''s boat, Liu xiulang said in a voice, "prime minister, Liu Xiu still has something to say. I don''t know whether to say it or not."


    "Go ahead, please


    Cao Cao was standing on the river. The river was flowing and the boat was shaking. He was a little uncomfortable.


    After all, Cao Cao is not used to going by boat.


    Liu Xiu said with a loud voice: "a strong dragon does not oppress a local leader. No matter whether Prime Minister Cao is a dragon or a tiger, it''s a dragon. When he comes to Jingzhou, he has to dish; when it''s a tiger, he has to lie down. I urge Prime Minister Cao to return to the DPRK as soon as possible, otherwise he will make a big fall in Jingzhou and affect the whole situation in the north. "


    Cao Cao said: "thank you for reminding Liu Jingzhou, but Liu Jingzhou forgot a word. It''s not that the dragon can''t surpass the river. Liu Xiu, just look at it. "


    "Please


    Liu Xiu didn''t reply any more, and the ship operator turned around and returned.


    Cao Cao also left by boat. When he returned to the land on the north bank, all his generals were relieved.


    Cheng Yu said: "prime minister, this kind of thing can''t be done again. In the future, we can''t be so willful. "


    Cao Cao chuckled twice, and his eyes fell on Liu Xiu who had just landed. He said slowly, "Mr. Zhong De, I can tell the difference between the heavy and the heavy. This kind of thing also depends on people. In the eyes of the prime minister, Liu Xiu is the only one who can trust each other. "


    Cheng Yu said, "Liu Xiu knows the truth. He has a little heart."


    Suddenly, Cao Cao looked at Xun you and said, "Gongda, when I talked with Liu Xiu, he said that he had sent soldiers to inspect the water. On this premise, it is almost impossible to find another place to cross the river. Moreover, Liu Xiu also blocked the land access to the south bank ferry. It''s impossible to surprise Liu Xiu. "


    Cao Cao said, "now that Liu Xiu is ready, we will give up this idea. Now, do your best to cross the river. "


    Xun you said, "prime minister, Liu Xiu''s words are true or false, not necessarily true."


    Cao Cao said: "since Liu Xiu has set up a camp on the south bank, and considering this possibility, it must be very difficult for us to make a breakthrough from another location. Moreover, it is not easy to cross the river quietly or go south by boat. With Liu Xiu''s intelligence, how could he not stop him? "


    Xun you said, "now that the prime minister has made a decision, I will not repeat my humble position."


    Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "let''s take a day off today. Tomorrow morning, we will cross the river by force."


    "No!"


    Xun you hears speech, arranged to go down immediately.


    Liu Xiu went back to the camp, went straight back to the Chinese army tent, called Zhang Ren, and ordered Zhang Ren to prepare for the war. After Zhang Ren gave the order, the soldiers in the army took action one after another.


    The crossbow, catapult and other defensive weapons are all ready.


    Everything is waiting for Cao Cao to cross the river.

 Chapter 367

    In the morning, the sun rises.


    On the surface of the jueshui River, the water mist is shrouded in a dense scene, like a fairyland.


    Golden sunlight from the sky down, scattered on the river, dense glow.


    "Dong! Dong


    All of a sudden, the drums of war reverberated on the north bank.


    The powerful sound of war drums resounded in the air. The tremor brought by the strong sound seemed to make the mist on the river begin to disperse.


    A dense array of troops appeared on the Bank of the river.


    Cao Cao, wearing a black robe and armor, stood with his hands down, staring calmly at the other side of the river. At Cao Cao''s side, Xun you stooped to his feet and said, "Lord, the army is ready. All the boats are ready to cross the river at any time. "


    In addition to the previous preparation of a ship, in order to ensure the smooth crossing of water, Cao Cao pumped out hundreds of ships to the nearby area last night.


    In order to succeed, Cao Cao did his best.


    It''s a pity that he can''t bear big ships. Otherwise, large warships carrying soldiers across the river won''t be afraid of Liu Xiu''s crossbows and arrows. But now, first of all, we have to break through the water to get a foothold on the south bank.


    "Crossing the river!"


    Cao Cao''s eyes were sharp and gave the order.


    With the waving of the flag, the sound of the war drum is higher and higher.


    In the army, one by one, the soldiers came out, quickly arrived at the ferry, and then boarded the boat. All the boats used by soldiers were ordinary sampans. A small boat could carry seven or eight people.


    Hundreds of boats on the North Bank of the ferry are fully loaded.


    In the first attack, 3000 pioneers began to cross the river.


    On the surface of the river, there are a lot of ships, which are overwhelming and terrifying.


    Three thousand soldiers were forced to cross the South Bank of the river. Liu Xiu had already deployed troops.


    A catapult, quickly in place.


    Liu Xiu used as many as 60 catapults this time. In all previous wars, he used the most catapults this time. All the catapults are divided into two rows, each row of 30 catapults. Each catapult is five feet apart. A row of twenty catapults stretched 150 feet.


    One hundred and fifty feet apart, it almost occupied the whole ferry on the south bank.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "go to war!"


    Yuan yideling, holding a big black flag in his hand, roared: "ready!"


    The flag swayed and waved, and the catapults had seen it.


    "Creak! Creak


    A catapult, constantly running up, the sound of friction.


    In a moment, sixty catapults are ready.


    All the people looked in the direction of Yuan Ye. At this time, the flag in Yuan Ye''s hand was waving again. When the catapult soldiers saw it, they immediately took action and dropped large stones to attack.


    "Bang! Bang


    The catapult collided with the horizontal axis and made a continuous sound.


    Sixty big stones, whistling through the air, smashed into the middle of the river. The distance between the catapult and the center of the river is about 40 Zhang. This distance is not even one third of the range of the catapult, which is the most relaxed distance.


    Because of this, the weight of the stones was slightly increased, with each big stone weighing about 120 Jin.


    Boulders swept through the air and began to fall.


    At this time, hundreds of boats have been moving fast in the river.


    "Boom!"


    The first big stone fell into the river, splashing and setting off a big wave. More than a hundred kilograms of big stones fall from high altitude, the impact force is quite strong, making the river waves constantly.


    "Boom! Boom! Boom


    Then, the other fifty-nine stones followed.


    Among the sixty big stones, some fell into the water, while others fell on the boat, which split the boat in an instant. The function of sixty big stones is not to hit the boat. The most important role lies in the fact that stones with unparalleled strength smash into the river, making the already turbulent River fury, making the river waves and continuous shocks.


    Wave after wave of waves, making the boat ups and downs.


    One by one, eddies formed on the river.


    "No, the boat is going over."


    "The boat won''t hold. The waves are too big."


    "Hold the boat fast, all of you are steady. Don''t move. Don''t move. The more turbulent it is, the less random it is. "


    "Help! The boat is really going to turn over


    A boat capsized, so that countless Cao soldiers fell into the river, directly washed away. Some small boats collided with each other because of the big waves, causing unrest.


    The whole scene completely collapsed, and the offensive composed of 3000 vanguards immediately disappeared.


    "Boom! Boom


    The catapults on the south bank are still throwing stones.The second wave of sixty big stones fell into the middle of the river. For a moment, the water splashed hundreds of feet away.


    The waves splashed, and the boats overturned in the heart of the river.


    Cao Cao''s 3000 elite wanted to cross the river, but under such circumstances, the slightly calm river became turbulent and turbulent, and it was difficult to cross the river. The most important point is that Cao Cao''s soldiers are from the north and are not used to water. It''s OK when the boat is stable. Once the boat goes up and down, the soldiers feel dizzy and the whole person is not good.


    Sorry!


    Only feel incomparably uncomfortable!


    The boat was full of ups and downs. The soldiers on the boat couldn''t hold the center of gravity, and even some of them put their heads out of the boat and began to feel nauseous. Under the attack of waves, the center of gravity of the ship was unstable, and the soldiers stuck out their heads again, which made the ship capsize, causing more casualties.


    On the Gushui River, countless ships capsized, and countless Cao soldiers fell into the river, constantly struggling.


    Liu Xiu stood on the south bank, looking at the scene in front of him, his mouth rose slightly.


    Five rounds!


    The catapult only carried out five rounds of attacks, and hundreds of boats on the river were scattered. It was no longer the scene of hundreds of boats crossing the river together, which was full of desolation and decay.


    A small number of boats, staggering toward the south bank.


    However, there are only dozens of these ships, and even if they land on the shore, they will not be able to take advantage.


    When Cao Cao saw this scene on the north bank, his face was expressionless and his eyes didn''t fluctuate. It seemed that capsizing was a trivial matter.


    Cao Cao has been used to fighting for decades.


    This kind of scene is not worth mentioning.


    With a wave of his hand, Cao Cao said, "Gongda, add another 1000 vanguards, disperse and continue to cross the river. Although Liu Xiu''s catapult is powerful, it is not unlimited. The prime minister expected that his catapult would throw a few more rounds at most. When that happens, he will not be able to suppress his soldiers


    "No!"


    Xunyou ordered, and sent 1000 elite across the river.


    These 1000 elite soldiers came out, and the soldiers who worked together came out carrying the boat.


    This curtain fell in Liu Xiu''s eyes, especially surprised.


    And ships?


    How many ships did Cao Cao recruit and build? It''s such a waste.


    A thousand elite once again across the river, after another sprint. The catapults on the south bank are still attacking fiercely. Big stones fall into the river and make waves on the river, causing difficulties to Cao soldiers crossing the river.


    The second wave of crossing the river, relatively speaking, the soldiers have more experience.


    In this wave, of the 1000 soldiers crossing the river, about 300 soldiers crossed the river safely.


    More than 500 soldiers had crossed the river before. After the two teams joined, there was a team of nearly 1000 people. After meeting at the shore, the team stepped directly on the mud and quickly landed.


    Liu Xiu saw the soldiers of Cao army converging and began to rush up. He was not moved. He ordered, "Archer, prepare!" The soldiers, who had been prepared for a long time, were ordered to act immediately, and each archer squatted down in front of the catapult.


    The soldier drew his bow and arched.


    "Whew! Whew


    Piercing bow and arrow shot, resounding in the air.


    A moment later, like a pouring rain, the bow and arrow were shot into the Cao soldiers who were rushing to the shore.


    "Pooh! Poof


    Bow and arrow into the body, in an instant, it splashed out a pengpeng of blood. One by one, Cao''s soldiers fell to the ground. However, the dense bows and arrows could not stop Cao''s soldiers from rushing.


    Fearless of life and death, Cao soldiers rushed to Jingzhou barracks.


    "Kill


    "Rush up and kill!"


    "It''s today to make contributions, kill!"


    Cao Jun''s soldiers roared, and their eyes were murderous. These soldiers have completely abandoned life and death. They broke through the block of the catapult, broke through the bow and arrow fire, and approached the camp.

 Chapter 368

    When Cao Jun came, Liu Xiu gave the order to attack.


    Wei Yan served as the chief General of the vanguard army and led 1000 soldiers to meet him.


    These 1000 soldiers are all elite.


    On the other hand, Cao Cao''s soldiers, though fearless of death and murderous, had been tossed on the boat for a while. After getting off the boat, because of the flood of the river, both sides of the river were swamped by the river. Walking with one foot shallow and one foot deep, I had to face the bow and arrow shooting. I was exhausted.


    Wei YANTI killed the past with his sword, fought close to him, and quickly suppressed Cao''s soldiers.


    However, Cao''s soldiers are still crossing the river.


    Whenever Wei Yan was about to suppress the other side, Cao''s soldiers supported him to make up for the previous losses. As a result, the two sides have been maintaining a stalemate, unable to completely wipe out the Cao soldiers.


    The battle lasted from morning to noon, and then from noon to evening.


    Finally, the crossing failed, and Cao Cao failed to break through Liu Xiu''s line of defense.


    Xun you stood beside Cao Cao and said, "prime minister, we are fighting all day today. We have sent 5000 soldiers to fight, almost all of them lost."


    Cao Cao had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "although he lost, only a thousand people died in the war. More and more people have lost their fighting power because they have been blocked by stones in the river


    "You see, in the end, Liu Xiu''s catapult stopped attacking and no longer used it to suppress ships."


    "This means that Liu Xiu has used up all the stones he has prepared."


    "The opportunity has already appeared. Now it can''t give Liu Xiusi a chance to breathe. Once he orders the soldiers to dig the stone again, it will cause great difficulties to the situation behind."


    Cao Cao said, "besides, there are still our soldiers on the other side of the river. Once they give up crossing the river, the soldiers who survive fighting after crossing the river will be helpless, and it will be difficult for them to survive. So we can''t stop, we can only continue to cross the river. Order, light up the whole river and continue to cross it. "


    Xun you said, "yes, I''ll give an order immediately."


    With Cao Cao''s command, Cao''s army continued to cross the river to the south bank.


    This action shocked Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu didn''t expect that Cao Cao was so brave that he didn''t rest at night and wanted to cross the river directly. In this way, Liu Xiu''s soldiers could not rest and could only continue to resist.


    Especially at the end of the day, the stones used by the catapult have run out, and only use bows and arrows to suppress each other.


    The battle continued. Beside Liu Xiushen, Pang Tong had a dignified face.


    Pang Tong said: "Lord, Cao Cao crossed the river overnight. Under such circumstances, it will be sooner or later that he was captured. I think we can consider withdrawing. "


    Liu Xiu nodded, looked at the South Ferry which was still fighting, and said: "according to the original plan, we should take the step-by-step method to stop, so as to continuously consume Cao Cao''s troops. Resisting on the South Bank of the river has consumed part of Cao Cao''s soldiers. "


    "So, this goal has been achieved."


    "Down the ferry, you can give up."


    Liu Xiuse said: "although it''s good to keep blocking, Cao Cao has 200000 troops, which is not so easy to consume. In particular, Cao Cao did not divide his forces. Without division, many of his intrigues were difficult to achieve results. But we can''t resist Cao''s direct attack. "


    Pang Tong said: "Lord, it seems that we have to make a new plan."


    "Oh, what do you think?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes showed a touch of expectation.


    The battle against Cao Cao is a battle related to the fate of Jingzhou. We can only win but not lose.


    Once lost, Liu Xiu completely fell into the dust.


    Once won, Jingzhou will really rise, in a short time do not have to worry about Cao Jun.


    Pang Tong was silent for a moment and said, "the attack of Cao Jun is still going on. If we want to stay at the lower ferry, our losses will increase. So, early tomorrow morning, we will begin to retreat to avoid the edge of the Cao army. Fighting with Cao Jun is totally out of line with the current situation. After retreating, we''ll stop along the way. We should give priority to guerrilla and harassing, and constantly kill Cao''s troops. "


    "Cao Cao likes to fight day and night, and we will treat him in his own way."


    "It''s an interesting thing to believe."


    Pang Tong had a smile in his eyes. If he could describe a big war as interesting, he was alone.


    Liu Xiu deduced Pang Tong''s plan and said, "Shiyuan, let''s go back to the camp and discuss it."


    Liu Xiu thinks Pang Tong''s plan is not mature enough.


    Liu Xiu put the war in Zhang Ren''s charge, Zhang Ren is good at defense, Liu Xiu is at ease with him. Liu Xiu and Pang Tong returned to the camp and took out the map of Nanyang County.


    Liu Xiu pointed to the map and said, "according to your plan, Chaoyang County must have a way to retreat. Even after resisting in Chaoyang County, they would give up Chaoyang County and eventually retreat to Deng county. But no matter how to retreat, no matter how to intercept, there must be a decisive battle site. Where are you going to fight? ""Deng County!"


    Pang Tong didn''t even think about it, and his hand fell on Deng county.


    Liu Xiu asked, "why?"


    Pang Tong said: "it''s just the so-called one drum work, and then decline, three and exhausted. Cao Cao went south from Xinye, and his army was strong. He stopped at xiadukou and consumed part of his strength. In Chaoyang County, another part will be consumed. Along the way, you can also harass and attack. Finally, we''ll have a decisive battle. "


    Liu Xiu thought for a while and pondered: "blocking along the way has the advantages of blocking along the way. The biggest problem is that Cao Cao is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Pang Tong agreed with Liu Xiu''s analysis and nodded: "my Lord has a point, so just as he said, we will fight a decisive battle in Deng county and defeat Cao Cao at one stroke."


    Liu xiudao: "I agree with Deng County as the place of decisive battle. But to fight a decisive battle, we can''t fight head-on. Even if our forces have drained the strength of the major armies, we don''t have as many troops as Cao Cao. So we have to devise a scheme, otherwise it will be difficult to win this battle. "


    Pang Tong began to laugh. He felt more confident and asked, "what''s your plan?"


    Liu xiudao: "on the basis of your plan, add another one."


    Pang Tong said, "please make it public."


    Liu Xiu replied: "Shi Yuan, we do this when we retreat And then And then Although Cao Cao is cunning. But we set up a plan, one by one, and there is a plan in the plan, so that Cao Cao can''t guess the final killing move. Let him keep in the dark, and he will win at one stroke in the end. "


    After listening to Liu Xiu''s plan, Pang Tong was also thinking carefully.


    Many factors need to be considered in the implementation of the plan.


    In particular, it is not easy to complete Liu Xiu''s plan, which is quite a difficult one. After all, Cao Cao and his advisers are not easy to cheat.


    After listening to this, Pang Tong said, "Lord, it''s near the plum rain season. If your plan, once met the plum rain season, it will be more perfect, more able to cover people''s eyes and ears


    Liu xiudao: "it''s not easy to meet Meiyu. It depends on the mood of the Lord. But what we can do is to delay as much as possible. If we meet the best, it will be easier to operate. If there is no Meiyu season, it will not have much impact. "


    Pang Tong said: "Lord, now that we have made a plan, I think we can withdraw our troops, and it''s the most appropriate to take action overnight. After all, Cao Cao is still making soldiers cross the river, and we don''t have time to rest. "


    Liu Xiu ordered: "come, please Zhang Ren, Wei Yan, Huang Hu, and Sha Moke come to the camp for discussion."


    The soldiers went down to give orders. Not long after, the people had already come to the camp.


    Among them, Wei Yan was full of blood donors.


    Up to now, Wei Yan is still leading his troops to block Cao''s soldiers crossing the river. He led the army to fight today. It''s been a day. However, still insist.


    The rest of them have not yet joined the war.


    Liu Xiu glanced at the people under his command and replied, "just now, my military adviser and I have agreed on the next strategy. Next, let''s do this. General Zhang, you are in charge of the army; Hu Zi, you are Shamoko, you lead the army Wen Chang, your task is the most important, you first And then... "


    Liu Xiu arranged the whole plan, and then said, "now, are you clear?"


    "Clear!"


    When they heard the words, they all agreed.


    One by one, after listening to the plan, they were all in high spirits.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "General Zhang, you can go down and make arrangements. Let''s move tonight."


    "No!"


    Zhang Ren was ordered to go down immediately to deploy troops.


    As Zhang Ren''s order went on, all the rest soldiers got up and began to retreat overnight. However, although the army retreated, some soldiers were still left to fight with the Cao army who crossed the river and resist the Cao army who crossed the river.

 Chapter 369

    The battle at night is still going on, with thousands of sails and hundreds of boats competing on the river. The boats are still moving forward. In this scene, Liu Xiu was convinced by Cao Cao. He really didn''t know how many boats Cao Cao made or how many boats he recruited in advance in order to cross the river.


    At night, the number of soldiers resisting on the south bank decreased gradually towards dawn.


    "Jingzhou soldiers can''t stop it. Kill them."


    "Here''s the chance. Chong, catch Liu Xiu alive and make contributions."


    "Sons, kill with me."


    One by one, Cao Jun roared and rushed to Jingzhou barracks not far from the shore. A night of fighting, a night of confrontation, and finally broke the defense line of Jingzhou soldiers.


    So far, the victory of crossing the river.


    Cao''s soldiers were full of momentum and rushed quickly.


    One by one, the soldiers were afraid of being robbed of the credit and rushed forward.


    Cao Cao went to sleep at night. When he got up early, he heard the soldiers shouting and killing. It seemed that he had broken each other''s camp. Just out of the tent, ready to go to the river to watch, Cheng Yu came in a hurry.


    Cheng Yu looked happy and said, "prime minister, we have broken the south bank. Now, we have begun to attack Liu Xiu''s camp. "


    "Good!"


    Cao Cao can''t help but cry a good, then take Cheng Yu to the shore.


    As the sun rises, a red sun comes out from the East.


    All over the sky, all over the earth.


    Cao Cao looked up at the sky, through the mist of the river, his eyes fell on the South Bank of the river. At this time, waves of soldiers who came ashore had no resistance and rushed to Liu Xiu''s camp.


    Cheng Yu said, "prime minister, Liu Xiu is defeated!"


    Cao Cao''s eyes narrowed, staring at the camp, shook his head and said, "I''m afraid not."


    Cheng Yu said, "why did the prime minister express such feelings?"


    Cao Cao said: "according to the prime minister''s understanding, there are at least 20000 soldiers around Liu Xiu. Although there are not many troops, they can not be easily manipulated. Suddenly, there was no resistance on the other side. The only explanation should be that after our soldiers crossed the river in large quantities, the defense became more difficult. Liu Xiu doesn''t fit to defend at the next ferry, so it''s the result of evacuating. "


    Cheng Yu looked at the other side of the river and felt that it was so.


    After a short time, some soldiers came back from the other side and reported: "prime minister, Liu Xiu has withdrawn. The camp on the opposite side is empty. There are no soldiers left


    "Across the river!"


    Without expression, Cao Cao gave the order.


    Liu Xiu withdrew from the war, but Cao Cao had no sense of achievement in his heart.


    Because he didn''t really conquer xiadukou, it was Liu Xiu who took the initiative to retreat. After leading 200000 troops across the river, Cao Cao temporarily camped at xiadukou on the south bank to count the losses.


    After counting the results of the battle, Cao Cao''s face became even darker.


    Liu Xiu used the position of the lower ferry to consume 6000 soldiers under his command.


    The loss of 6000 soldiers in the first World War is quite huge.


    Although many soldiers fall into the river and may come back, most soldiers in the north can''t swim. If they fall into the river, they will die.


    Cao Cao''s mood can be imagined for the six thousand casualties.


    Cao Cao''s face is as deep as water.


    This battle was his first confrontation with Liu Xiu. On the surface, he won, but in fact, Liu Xiu left after winning. Cao Cao felt uncomfortable. He looked at the generals under his command and said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu''s retreat must be to Chaoyang County, but he can''t stay in Chaoyang County because he supplies in Chaoyang County at most. Everybody, who dares to pursue Liu Xiu for the prime minister? "


    As long as Liu Xiu is held back by Cao Cao''s army and Cao Cao''s army pursues him, Liu Xiu can be completely trapped.


    Once Liu Xiu is delayed, he will lose.


    Cao Zhen stood up and said, "prime minister, I would like to be a pioneer."


    "Prime minister, the end will be willing to go."


    Cao Zhang also stood up and took the initiative to fight.


    Dian man hugged his fist and said, "prime minister, I''m willing to go!"


    Xu Yi also stood up and said, "prime minister, I am willing to go."


    These young generals were all married to Liu Xiu when they were in Xu county. Now that he has the chance to pursue Liu Xiu, he is naturally willing to take revenge.


    Cao Ren suffered a great loss in Liu Xiu''s hands. He also wanted to be ashamed of himself. He said slowly, "prime minister, I will ask Dai to commit a crime. He will be in Nanyang County for many years, familiar with the topography of Nanyang County, most suitable for pursuing Liu Xiu. "


    One by one, they took the initiative to fight. They all wanted to go right away.


    Cao Cao felt the fighting spirit of his generals and the gloomy mood in his heart. He suddenly brightened up and said with a smile, "if you want to pursue a little Liu Xiu, why do you need such a big battle. This time, Cao Ren was the main general, followed by Xu Yi and Dian man. I will give you five thousand talents. I don''t want to annihilate Liu Xiu, just hold him down. ""No!"


    Cao Ren, Xu Yi and Dian man look excited and grateful.


    After hearing this, Cao Zhang looked gloomy.


    ¡­¡­


    Magou is located 15 Li north of Chaoyang County.


    It''s called magou because there''s a magou river running through it. However, although the magou river is full of water, it is not deep, only knee deep, and the river is full of pebbles, so you can walk directly through it.


    From Jianshui River to Chaoyang County, it will pass through magou.


    When Cao Ren led the army across the magou River, he checked the situation of the magou River and confirmed that there was no ambush. Then he led the army directly across the magou River and headed south to Chaoyang County.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a sentry came back quickly.


    Sentinel came to Cao Ren''s body, reported: "general, five miles ahead, found Jingzhou army."


    Dian man''s eyes immediately looked forward and said, "general, let me lead 300 soldiers to catch up with Liu Xiu''s army as soon as possible. Then the general comes back to pursue. When the general arrives and pesters Liu Xiu, the prime minister''s army will arrive. Then we will win. "


    Xu Yi said: "general, I am willing to lead 300 soldiers to pursue."


    The two are fighting and can''t wait to make contributions.


    Cao Ren suffered a big loss last time, especially after hearing the tragic situation of Xu Huang and Xu Chu, he became alert, shook his head and said, "the army will not divide its forces, and we will go on our way together."


    As soon as these words came out, both dianman and Xu Yi were disappointed.


    The army was on its way quickly, and soon met the Jingzhou army five miles away.


    In this place, the terrain is broad and there is no mountain forest.


    Seeing the terrain, Cao Ren felt at ease. At least Liu Xiu didn''t ambush him.


    Cao Ren''s eyes turned and fell on the leader.


    This man is Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiuqi was on the horse, his eyes also fixed on Cao Ren. His eyes flow, see Dian man, Xu Yi and others, his face is showing a smile.


    Cao Ren pulled out his sword and roared: "Liu Xiu, the prime minister leads the army to kill. Now, you don''t surrender. "


    Liu Xiu didn''t answer. He just drove his horse out of the way and roared, "Flying Tiger camp, attack."


    "Flying Tiger camp, kill!"


    In his hand, Huang Hu raised the golden hammer of the drum beating Weng and drove his horse out.


    "Flying Tiger camp, kill!"


    "Flying Tiger camp, kill!"


    The orderly shouts of the soldiers of the flying tiger camp rang all around.


    A thousand soldiers of the flying tiger camp rush out. I saw the front row of flying tiger camp soldiers charging, even from the waist out of the crossbow.


    All the soldiers didn''t aim at it at all. They just pulled the trigger with the crossbow facing forward.


    "Whew! Whew


    The crossbow broke through the air and went straight to Cao Ren''s vanguard.


    In a flash, Cao Ren''s soldiers in front of him fell down.


    Cao Ren roared: "kill!" At this time, even if Liu Xiu''s soldiers had crossbows, Cao Ren could not retreat. He had to order a charge and rush up to entangle Liu Xiu.


    Cao soldiers braved the crossbow and arrow, quickly approaching.


    However, after three rounds of crossbow attack, the soldiers of Feihu camp changed their formation.


    After the soldiers of the first row of flying tiger battalion rushed out, they put away their crossbows and pulled out the ones at their waist. They began to make a detour on both sides, and the follow-up Flying Tiger Battalion soldiers began to attack with crossbows.


    For a moment, the flying tiger camp attacked on both sides, and in the middle was the shooting of crossbows and arrows, forming an encirclement.


    The older the Cao soldiers are, the more wounded they are.


    A thousand soldiers of the flying tiger camp formed an encircling circle and went up from both wings.


    The most middle position, highlighted.


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Ren and said, "General Zhang, this time it depends on your performance. You learn from Mr. Tong. I haven''t seen your hundred birds shooting at the Phoenix. "


    Zhang Renqi on the horse, carrying a silver gun, said: "humble position will not let the Lord down." After he rushed out, he led 2000 soldiers to Cao Ren''s middle army.


    Liu Xiu looked at the scene and his mouth rose.


    Cao Cao intended to send pioneers to pester him, but it was impossible. On the contrary, this group of pioneers will become what Liu Xiu says and will be taken directly by Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 370

    "Cao Jun is just ahead. Follow me to kill him!"


    Zhang Ren straddled the horse with high morale in his eyes. Since he followed Liu Xiu, he has been assisting Liu Xiu to preside over military affairs, but he has never really fought.


    This time, he will show his martial arts.


    As a general, martial arts is the most important link.


    If you have no martial arts, you can only be a counselor and assistant minister.


    Zhang Ren is the chief General of the Fifth Army planned by Liu Xiu. He is the one who will take charge of the army of Nanyang County in the future. Therefore, in this battle, he has to show his strength and convince Liu Xiu''s young generals and soldiers, which is conducive to his real leadership of the army.


    "Da! Dada


    The sound of horse''s hooves resounds on the official road.


    Zhang took the lead and took the lead.


    When Cao Ren saw Zhang Ren again, his eyes were shining. He looked at Dian man and Xu Yi and said, "Dian man and Xu Yi, you two work together to deal with Huang Hu. These two golden hammers are extremely powerful. Even Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are not rivals, even Xu Chu. You two join hands and take him. "


    "Yes


    After Xu Yi and Dian man got the order, they turned their horses and rushed to Dian man.


    Cao Ren drove his horse to charge with a knife in his hand. He also went directly to kill Zhang Ren.


    This is the reason why a thief should be captured first.


    The two of them are facing each other. In the blink of an eye, they have already met.


    Zhang Ren''s silver gun trembled in the air and shot out in the wind, shouting: "Phoenix Nirvana, kill!" The tip of the gun turns into a streamer. With the change of the tip of the gun, there seems to be a phoenix dancing and circling in mid air.


    Cao Ren cleaved and said, "chop!"


    The sharp blade suddenly collided with the barrel of the gun, and the two immediately drove their horses apart.


    Both of them are not powerful generals with flexible moves.


    But Cao Ren''s eyes showed a dignified look. At the moment of the collision, he clearly noticed that the other side''s gun was hidden, as if something was hidden.


    "A hundred birds to the Phoenix, kill!"


    After Zhang Ren turned his horse around, he pricked it up again.


    Spear out, swift and domineering.


    This shot is dignified and dignified.


    Cao Ren resisted with a knife. At the moment when the weapon hit, Zhang Ren''s gun bounced up in the air with the help of the force of collision. After crossing an arc, he directly whipped it down.


    "Hoo


    Whistling sound, then remembered.


    Cao Ren''s eyes are sharp. The blade aims at the barrel of the gun and cuts it directly.


    "Pa!"


    The barrel of the gun hit the blade like a whip, and its strength increased several times.


    So much so that Cao Ren''s hand trembled.


    Zhang Ren''s offensive is fierce, and his gun is more flexible, tricky and nimble, but he is overbearing and fierce. The long gun slipped back, stretched to one side, and the end of the barrel thrust out.


    This change is almost completed in the blink of an eye.


    Cao Ren had just been hit, but he didn''t remember to react. The end of the gun was in front of him.


    "Bang!"


    The end of the barrel of the gun was on Cao Ren''s chest. Suddenly, a deep pain came from his chest.


    Although this shot did not pierce the body, but the impact, the strength has spread to the heart, let Cao Ren''s internal organs injured, blood is churning unceasingly.


    A stream of blood rushed up Cao Ren''s throat, but he pressed it down.


    "Kill


    Cao Ren roared and slashed. He risked his life to make Zhang Ren resist, and then hastened to dodge. He hid among the soldiers and did not dare to fight Zhang Ren again. In terms of martial arts, Cao Ren is not as good as Zhang Ren. If he continues to fight, he will either be killed or captured alive.


    "Cao Ren is defeated, kill him!"


    Zhang Ren roared and drove his horse to chase Cao Ren.


    With Zhang Ren''s breakthrough, his soldiers also quickly broke through the defense line composed of Cao Ren''s soldiers and directly killed them.


    On the other hand, Xu Yi and Dian man fight against Huang Hu.


    Both Xu Yi and Dian man are older than Huang Hu. At this time, Xu Yi saw the yellow tiger and was even more murderous. His father was injured by the yellow tiger, such revenge can not be denied.


    "Kill


    Xu Yi has a big knife in his hand, which is magnificent.


    "Kill


    Dian man, holding the iron halberd, also killed him.


    The two men, one left and one right, did not fight alone, and adopted the strategy of attacking the yellow tiger.


    The corner of Huang Hu''s mouth showed a look of disdain. They wanted to join hands to fight with him, which was just fantastic. Huang Hu in the hands of the drum Weng gold hammer swing, a left and a right at the same time.


    "Meteor hammer, kill!"


    Huang Hu left and right bow, left and right hand meteor hammer and Xu Yi, Dian man''s weapons collided.


    "Dang! Dang


    The sound of collision suddenly rang out.The big knife and the golden hammer collided and were broken open.


    The impact of the iron halberd and the golden hammer was like shaking a tree. It had no effect on the golden hammer of the drum beating Weng.


    On the contrary, Xu Yi and Dian man were surprised. Xu Yi''s strength is slightly inferior. His blade collides with the golden hammer of the drum jar, and the horse at his crotch kicks back, and his hands are a little numb. The same is true of Timon. He didn''t have any influence on Huang Hu. On the contrary, he was shocked.


    At that moment, Huang Hu made another move.


    "Taishan hammer, kill!"


    Huang Hu''s right hand swung the golden hammer of drum beating Weng. The goal of his hammer was to win the victory.


    Just now, Huang Hu had judged that Timon was more powerful, so he chose to win the stronger one first. In addition, Xu Yi''s reaction was slow.


    It is at this moment that Huang Hu has attacked dianman.


    The drum beating Weng''s golden hammer passed through the air, as if the mountain of Taishan was pressing down on the top of the mountain.


    "I''m in the way


    Dianman''s left and right hands each held an iron halberd. The two iron halberds crossed in a cross shape and went to the golden hammer rack of the drum beating Weng.


    Hold the golden hammer!


    At this moment, dianman''s mind, only such ideas.


    "Don''t think too much of yourself!"


    The yellow tiger roared, and the drum beating Weng jinchui in the air made a slight pause, and suddenly made another effort, which was even more powerful. The gold hammer of the drum jar, whistling, fell on the iron halberd.


    "Dang!"


    The two iron halberds collided with the golden hammer of the drum beating man, and the iron halberd was directly swung away.


    Beating drum Weng Jin Chui went forward and hit Dian man''s chest. At the critical moment, Timon quickly sidestepped to hide, but he was still slow. The drum beating Weng Jin Chui swept on Timon''s shoulder.


    "Bang!"


    With a slight sweep of the golden hammer of the drum jar and a scream of dianman, he fell from the station immediately.


    Dianman''s left shoulder is cracked.


    When he fell to the ground, his hands cracked and his blood flowed.


    Taking advantage of the victory, Huang Hu, carrying the drum beating Weng''s golden hammer, roared: "suffer death!" When he was about to rush to the front of Dian man''s body, Xu Yi''s roar came: "yellow tiger, die!"


    Roar, resounding in the battlefield.


    The big knife in Xu Yi''s hand is waved, a move force splits Huashan, fast fall.


    Yellow tiger''s mouth, raised a smile.


    He straddled on the horse and clamped the horse''s belly. The horse at his crotch was also dexterous. He seemed to know that the yellow tiger was going to stop, and suddenly stopped in the same place. Huang Hu turned his waist, turned his side, and beat drum Weng''s golden hammer turned its direction and swept back directly.


    "I''ve been waiting for you."


    "Cape hammer, kill!"


    The drum beating Weng''s golden hammer passed in the air and hit the cleaved sword.


    "Dang!"


    The violent impact is a contest of strength.


    After the drum beating Weng''s golden hammer sweeps, Xu Yi''s big knife directly collapses and flies out.


    Xu Yi''s hand is split.


    The power of a hammer is even greater than that of a stone.


    "Go to hell!"


    Huang Hu turns his horse''s head and directly faces Xu Yi. The drum beating Weng''s golden hammer slams down. Xu Yi sat on the horse and saw the hammer fall. She couldn''t dodge. An iron bridge lay back.


    "Boom!"


    The hammer continued to fall, hitting the horse''s neck.


    "Chaka!"


    In an instant, the horse was directly smashed to break its neck and fell to the ground.


    Xu Yi fell to the ground, rolling and climbing, to avoid the pursuit of Huang Hu. On the other hand, with the help of Cao''s soldiers, Dian man quickly withdrew.


    The golden hammer of Huang Hu''s drum beating Weng waved and roared: "those who block me will die! Kill


    At this time, the yellow tiger, like a demon, entered the Cao soldiers.


    In the eyes of the retreating Dian man and Xu Yi, they are full of fear.


    Huang Hu is too fierce, too violent, not human at all. Dian man and Xu Yi are both powerful generals. They are quite powerful, but they are still defeated by each other.


    Zhang Ren and Huang Hu lead the army to cover up and kill, and they are among Cao''s soldiers.


    Liu Xiu, sitting in the central army, saw the scene and ordered: "three drums, beating drums!"


    "Dong! Dong


    On the battlefield, the battle drum sounded immediately.


    After the drum sounded, a thousand barbarians rushed out of magou.


    The leader, however, is shamoko.


    Shamoko urged his horse to charge, holding the thistle in his hand, and roared: "sons, you can''t let the gang of Feihu camp snatch all the opportunities. Go ahead and kill Cao Jun with me. "


    A thousand barbarians are ordered to rush forward quickly.

 Chapter 371

    Cao Ren retreated into the soldiers and commanded them to resist.


    Under his command, there are 5000 elite.


    Even if we can''t beat Liu Xiu, as long as we can entangle Liu Xiu, we will win. As long as we delay and wait for Cao Cao''s army to arrive, Liu Xiu will be defeated.


    Although Huang Hu and Zhang Ren entered the army, Cao Ren was also a wise general. Although he was injured, he kept on arranging soldiers to resist.


    The original decline, let Cao Ren turn around.


    Xu Yi and Dian man also return to Cao Ren. Dian man''s injury is the most serious, and he is beaten by the drum urn.


    Three men commanded the soldiers to resist the attack of Jingzhou army.


    Liu Xiu looked at the trapped Cao soldiers with a banter in his eyes. Cao Ren is still able to resist. Can Cao Ren resist after shamoko raids Cao Ren''s rear?


    There are Jingzhou soldiers in all directions. Can Cao Ren be calm?


    "Kill


    "Kill Cao Ren!"


    "Huang Huzi, here comes shamoko."


    Shamoko''s loud voice came from the official way.


    He galloped his horse, and a thousand of his barbarians rushed quickly. Time is not long, has killed Cao Ren''s rear. Shamoko is wild, and his Tribulus terrestris is extremely violent, killing people without blinking an eye.


    He broke Cao''s defense line with a sprint.


    A thousand barbarians, especially from the rear, split Cao Ren''s defense line in an instant.


    The original rigorous formation suddenly became turbulent.


    "Kill


    Shamoko entered and swept away.


    At this time, the Jingzhou army had completed the encirclement, and Liu Xiu''s forces were in all directions.


    Five thousand pioneers under Cao Ren''s command are surrounded and constantly suppressed. Huang Hu, Sha Moke and Zhang Ren, in particular, separated Cao''s soldiers from each other, which made it difficult to form combat effectiveness and resist, and they began to retreat.


    Dianman''s shoulder was badly damaged, and his clothes were red with blood. Seeing that the soldiers were losing and even escaping, he said in a loud voice, "general, the army can''t stop it. Let''s go!"


    Xu Yi was also very nervous and said in a loud voice, "general, I can''t stop it."


    Cao Ren shook his head and said, "you can''t withdraw. Hold on."


    Cao Ren''s idea is to hold on for a long time and fight for more time for Cao Cao. Maybe the next moment, the army will come. Once Cao Cao led the army to catch up, Liu Xiu would be defeated.


    "Block it, block it for me."


    "Reinforcements have come, Prime Minister."


    Cao Ren roared and kept on commanding.


    Which side of the crisis, which side was broken, Cao Ren sent soldiers to resist, has been to tear down the east wall to make up the west wall.


    However, the situation is eroding.


    The soldiers under his command are in complete disorder, and they have gone their own way and have not obeyed the command.


    Liu Xiu stared at the changes in the situation on the battlefield with a smile on his lips.


    In this war, we won.


    Pang Tong said: "Lord, the fighting has been going on for a quarter of an hour. Five thousand talents under Cao Ren''s command have been defeated. We still have an hour. An hour later, Cao Cao''s army will catch up. "


    The position of Cao Cao''s army has always been concerned by Liu Xiu.


    It was because he knew the position of Cao Cao''s army and calculated the distance and time between Cao Cao and Chaoyang County that Liu Xiu dared to stop and ambush Cao Ren. Otherwise, once entangled, the consequences will be unimaginable.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "two quarters of an hour is enough."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes are full of confidence.


    Under the premise of the big plan, Liu Xiu adhered to the principle of advancing and retreating, and fought with Cao Jun. When Cao Cao''s army came, he retreated. Cao Cao sent a vanguard to kill him. Liu Xiu would not give up if he could eat him.


    A quarter of an hour later, the fighting on the battlefield was one-sided.


    Liu xiudao: "Cao Ren''s army is completely unstoppable."


    Pang Tong said with a smile: "Lord, you can beat the drum. Let''s work hard to defeat Cao Jun. Then, retreat. "


    "Beat the drum!"


    Liu Xiu no longer hesitated and ordered directly.


    "Dong! Dong! Dong


    This time, the drum is continuous.


    The sound of the drum is magnificent and powerful, and it is constantly echoing in the air. After hearing the drum, the soldiers in Jingzhou, who were fighting, were greatly encouraged and broke out with stronger strength and swept quickly.


    Cao Ren''s soldiers were killed and fled, leaving only a few hundred soldiers around him.


    "I can''t stop it!"


    Cao Ren sighed in his heart and ordered: "withdraw!"


    With an order, Cao Ren led the soldiers to retreat.


    Zhang Ren, Huang Hu and Sha Moke led the soldiers to cover up and kill at the same time, and the soldiers of Cao army were defeated like a mountain. Many Cao soldiers were killed and wounded.


    Many of the Cao soldiers even took off their armor, threw away their weapons, and flew away for fear of being caught up. Along the way, Zhang Ren, Huang Hu and Sha Moke ordered to stop when they reached magou.The team retreated and quickly joined Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu ordered the whole army and counted the losses. This time, there were 1000 Flying Tiger camp and 1000 barbarians, as well as 2000 soldiers of Zhang Ren.


    In the end, 639 soldiers died.


    The rest of the soldiers, all return.


    However, it is impossible to count the number of Cao''s soldiers, at least thousands of them. More importantly, all the 5000 pioneers under Cao Ren''s command have been scattered and all of them have fled. It can be said that the whole army has been destroyed.


    Liu Xiu led the army to retreat to Chaoyang County, while Cao Ren, Dian man and Xu Yi retreated in confusion and soon joined Cao Cao''s army.


    Cao Ren and Xu Cao knelt down in front of the army.


    This battle failed again.


    Five thousand elite soldiers, less than one thousand soldiers returned, and the loss was enormous.


    Rao is a broad-minded Cao Cao, but he can hardly restrain his anger. He wasted so much energy, and finally succeeded in crossing the river, and finally pursued Liu Xiu. He did not expect that the 5000 pioneers led by Cao Ren would be defeated so simply and thoroughly.


    Cao Cao asked in a deep voice, "what''s the matter?"


    Cao Ren replied: "when the end general led the army to magou, he found Liu Xiu''s army and went to pursue it quickly. About ten miles away from Chaoyang County, the last general confronted Liu Xiu''s army. At that time, Liu Xiu sent Huang Hu and Zhang Ren to fight. When we were in the middle of the battle, suddenly shamoko led his troops to kill from the rear, which disrupted the formation and led to a great defeat. "


    Cao Cao''s eyes fell on Dian man and asked, "what''s the injury of Dian man?"


    Dian man replied, "when I fight with Huang Hu, I was swept on my shoulder by his drum beating Weng Jin hammer."


    "Yellow tiger!"


    Cao Cao''s eyes, showing a trace of cold light.


    Before, Xu Huang and Xu Chu were injured by Huang Hu one after another. Now dianman and Xu Yi are also injured. They are all caused by the same person. Cao Cao''s anger is hard to contain.


    Xun you said: "prime minister, general Cao Ren''s defeat should be the result of Liu Xiu''s special attack on general Cao Ren. He found that Cao Ren''s troops were not many, so he had the intention of annihilating general Cao Ren. "


    Cao Cao said, "no matter what, 5000 soldiers are totally destroyed. That''s incompetence."


    Cao Cao stared at Cao Ren and said, "for the time being, don''t lead the army any more and wait for you to commit crimes."


    "No!"


    Cao Ren sighed that Liu Xiu had beaten him badly this time.


    Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Cao Zhen!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Cao Zhen looked very happy. Cao Cao called him directly, which meant that he might lead the troops to fight. Although Cao Zhen is in charge of tiger and leopard riding, in fact, it is not easy for tiger and leopard riding to fight in general, especially in Jiangnan, where rivers are crisscross, and it is difficult for tiger and leopard riding to fight on a large scale.


    Cao Cao said, "I''ll give you three thousand soldiers. I''ll chase Liu Xiu immediately, entangle him, and wait for my troops to arrive. Are you sure?"


    Cao Zhendao: "prime minister, the end will certainly complete the task."


    "Go


    Cao Cao''s big sleeve flicked, his eyes still with a trace of anger.


    After Cao Zhen left, Cao Cao looked at Xun you and said, "Gongda, you are going to have a cavalry of 500 people hanging behind Cao Zhen. Once Cao Zhen was encircled by Liu Xiu again, he would be pursued by cavalry. There are cavalry escorting behind. I don''t believe that Liu Xiu can ambush soldiers. "


    "No!"


    Xun you nodded and went down to arrange.


    Obviously, Cao Cao intended to use Cao Zhen as bait to catch Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 372

    Liu Xiu led the troops to retreat, and when they arrived in Chaoyang County, they joined the troops who had retreated to Chaoyang County.


    As soon as the troops joined up, Liu Xiu''s troops were more than 20000.


    Such an army is already quite effective.


    After a short rest in Chaoyang County and food supply, Liu Xiu led his troops to continue to retreat southward. According to Liu Xiu''s plan, the final decisive battle was in Deng County, so now he has to retreat to avoid Cao Cao.


    Liu Xiu retreated, while Cao Cao''s army kept going south.


    When Cao Jun arrived in Chaoyang County, the magistrate of Chaoyang County surrendered directly.


    This situation surprised Cao Cao.


    There was no resistance!


    After Cao Cao sent troops to take over Chaoyang County, hundreds of thousands of troops camped outside Chaoyang County to rest.


    Cao Cao met the magistrate of Chaoyang County.


    Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "what did Liu Xiu do when he arrived in Chaoyang County?"


    Chaoyang County Magistrate truthfully replied: "to the prime minister, Liu Xiu just added dry food and took away all the soldiers stationed in Chaoyang County. Other things, nothing


    Cao Cao asked again, "did you really not do it?"


    Chaoyang County Magistrate shook his head and said, "no!"


    "Really?"


    Cao Cao''s sharp eyes, low voice and questioning tone made Chaoyang magistrate tremble in his heart.


    "Yes, yes!"


    The magistrate of Chaoyang County was so scared that he did not dare to hide it any more.


    Cao Cao said, "say it!"


    Chaoyang magistrate said: "when Liu Xiu left with his troops, he told his subordinates that once the prime minister''s army arrived in Chaoyang County, there was no need to resist, he could open the city and surrender directly to avoid unnecessary losses. Also, he said, he said... "


    Cao Cao said, "what else do you say?"


    Chaoyang magistrate said: "Liu Xiu also said that Chaoyang County is only under the control of the Prime Minister for the time being. It won''t be long before Chaoyang County is recovered. "


    "What a arrogant tone!"


    Cao Cao''s eyes showed a touch of anger.


    Liu Xiu is so arrogant!


    Cao Cao brushed his sleeve and said, "go down."


    "No!"


    Chaoyang County Magistrate turned to leave. When he came out of the camp, his clothes on his back were all wet.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier ran in quickly.


    The soldier knelt down on one knee and reported: "inform the prime minister that general Cao Zhen has caught up with the Jingzhou army and is fighting with the Jingzhou army."


    Cao Cao was very happy when he said this.


    Cao Cao looked at Xun you and said, "Gongda, order to start."


    "No!"


    Xun you nodded and got up to give the order.


    The army immediately pulled out of the camp and went on in the direction of Deng county.


    About an hour later, the army finally caught up with Cao Zhen. Beside Cao Zhen, in addition to the soldiers under his command, there were also 500 cavalry. Cao Zhen led 3000 soldiers to pursue him. When he met the Jingzhou soldiers, he sent them back to spread the message. Soon afterwards, the cavalry caught up with him.


    However, less than a quarter of an hour after the two sides fought, the Jingzhou soldiers withdrew.


    What''s more, this time we met only a small number of troops, not Liu Xiu''s large number.


    Cao Zhen said the situation over and over again and said, "prime minister, I never thought that Liu Xiuhui was so cunning that he left a team of soldiers to intercept and specially block the army''s pursuit."


    Cao Cao sighed in his heart, but he didn''t expect to succeed.


    Cao Cao said, "it''s OK. Keep going."


    "Newspaper!"


    At this time, a sentinel came from the rear.


    The sentry came to Cao Cao quickly and said in a loud voice, "prime minister, Jiyang County has sent back the news and found a Jingzhou army running towards Wan county."


    Cao Zhang, Cao Zhen, Cao Ren and others all changed their faces slightly.


    This news is really shocking.


    Liu Xiuming retreated, but in silence, he sent a team of soldiers to Wan county.


    Such a means is not simple.


    Cheng Yu stroked his long beard under his jaw and said with a smile, "the prime minister really expected the enemy like a God. He knew that Liu Xiuhui had arranged for troops to attack the rear. Sure enough, Liu Xiu sent someone to go. "


    Cao Cao said, "when Liu Xiu attacked Zhou Yu, he sent a special troop to take the firewood and mulberry, Zhou Yu''s old home; when Liu Xiu attacked Liu Bei, he also joined Liu Zhang to take the new field, Liu Bei''s old home."


    "What Liu Xiu is good at is to attack the enemy''s rear."


    "This time, Liu Xiu kept retreating. His real purpose was to reduce his vigilance."


    "Now that the news is exposed, we can have an insight into Liu Xiu''s intention."


    Cao Cao said with a smile: "unfortunately, the prime minister has set up troops in Wan county and Jiyang County. If Jingzhou soldiers go to attack, it is impossible to win. And the prime minister gave an order that he would never open the gate of the city unless his blind date arrived. So Liu Xiu''s Jingzhou soldiers went, and it was impossible to cheat them to open the gate. We just need to keep going south. The Jingzhou soldiers in the rear don''t have to deal with it. "After hearing this, Cao Zhang, Cao Ren and Cao Zhen had a smile on their face.


    The way is one foot high, the devil is one foot high!


    Liu Xiu''s plan has not yet come into effect.


    Cao Cao led his army to set out and continued to go south. Along the way, Cao''s army was constantly harassed and obstructed. Or at the top of a mountain, countless boulders suddenly rolled down, which made Cao Cao''s army unable to move quickly; or there was an ambush on some official road; or when crossing a stream, he was blocked


    In short, because of Liu Xiu''s interception, the army was moving very slowly.


    In June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.


    In particular, the more south, the more humid the air, coupled with the hot weather, Cao Cao''s soldiers are very uncomfortable. Many of the soldiers in the army were very worried.


    Cao Cao only wore a single dress and rode in a carriage. He did not dare to ride any more.


    At noon, the army stopped to rest.


    Under the shade of trees, Cao Cao, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Xun you and others sat around.


    Xun you said: "Lord, the army has reached Deng county. It is estimated that it will enter Deng County tomorrow. According to the news from the front, Liu Xiu''s troops arrived in Deng county and did not retreat any more. According to speculation, Liu Xiu may choose to fight a decisive battle in Deng county. "


    Cao Cao, holding a fan, kept shaking and said, "if that''s true, it''s the best. The weather in June is extremely sultry, and the sun is still hot. It''s really uncomfortable. "


    Cheng Yu said, "if it rains a little, it will be fine."


    Jia Xu said: "these days, morning glow has appeared. According to my humble guess, it may start to rain in recent days. Moreover, we have not had rain for such a long time when we went south. It is the so-called long drought will lead to waterlogging. This time, there may be plenty of rain. "


    "In addition, I also asked the local farmers. At this time of the year, there is the most rain."


    "Sometimes it rains for ten days and a half a month."


    "Especially after entering Deng County, because it was close to Xiangyang, the terrain gradually widened and became flat. Such a place would have been conducive to the cavalry''s vertical and horizontal movement, but because of the river''s vertical and horizontal movement and the well-developed water system, the cavalry could not carry out their duties. "


    Jia Xu looked dignified and said: "under such circumstances, once it rains heavily, the ground may be flooded. Prime minister, when we enter Deng County, we must guard against Liu Xiu''s attack with water. "


    Cao Cao laughed and said, "Wenhe, you have already mentioned it. Naturally, we can''t make such mistakes again. We naturally chose to camp on higher ground to avoid the impact of heavy rain. "


    Jia Xu asked again, "prime minister, what''s the news of a Jingzhou soldier entering Wan county?"


    Cao Cao said: "according to the news, this army attacked Jiyang County, but failed. Then, he made a detour to Wan County, and finally failed. Now there''s no news. The prime minister speculates that he should be hiding and ready to wait for an opportunity. "


    Jia Xu nodded and let go.


    Cao Cao had a rest for an hour and a half. When the sun was not so strong, he ordered to move on.


    The team rushed to Deng county and approached Deng County in the morning of the next day.


    Liu Xiu''s army camp was set up outside Deng county. It was on a broad highland, easy to defend but difficult to attack.


    Cao Cao''s army arrived and quickly set up camp.


    Cao Cao chose a place eight li away from Liu Xiu, which happened to be a high-lying place. Nearly 200000 troops were stationed, and the campsites were continuous.


    It was a gloomy day.


    Dark clouds gather in the sky, there is no bright sunshine before, a storm to the situation.

 Chapter 373

    On this day, the weather was overcast and there was no rain. It''s like heaven is brewing a storm. The more rain does not fall, the hotter the weather is.


    Cao Cao''s army stopped to recuperate and did not attack for the time being.


    In Liu Xiu''s camp, the Chinese army has a big account.


    In the evening, Liu Xiu, Pang Tong, Zhang Ren, Sha Moke and Huang Hu all gathered in the camp.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes showed a smile and said: "just got the news, Cao Cao has camped in our place eight miles away. The terrain eight miles away is not a low-lying area. It can avoid the mire caused by heavy rain. There are only a few dense Artemisia plants in this site, and there are no woods. Cao Cao''s choice is correct, but he doesn''t know that it has fallen into our calculations. "


    Pang Tong said: "Lord, Cao Cao, aware of Wei Yan''s army, will naturally think that the Lord''s focus is on Wei Yan. He will think that the Lord is deliberately withdrawing to lure him. Even though Cao Cao expected that Deng county would be the focus, he could not infer our strategy in this war. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "it''s going to rain. I hope the rain will come soon. "


    Pang Tong said, "Lord, I will come soon."


    "Boom!"


    All of a sudden, there was thunder outside the camp.


    A bright light across the sky.


    "Wow!"


    Then he heard the sound of rain outside the camp.


    Liu xiuceng stood up and went outside the camp tent. At this time, dark clouds gathered in the sky, lightning and thunder, as if it was the end of the world. Rain from small to large, in a flash, has been pouring down.


    In the rain, it is cool and refreshing.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "the rain has finally come. It has been muggy for so many days, and it has finally arrived."


    Pang Tong said: "Lord, it depends on how long the rain can last. The more rain, the better. Although the rain continued, it had no effect on our plan. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "now Cao Cao''s focus should be to guard against our water attack."


    "Nature


    Pang Tong didn''t even think about it. He answered directly.


    "Tick! Tick


    Rain continued, the ground was soon wet, rain continued to flow.


    Liu Xiu and Pang Tong looked at each other with a look of expectation in their eyes.


    ¡­¡­


    Eight miles away, in Cao Cao''s camp.


    After the heavy rain, Cao Cao felt cool all over. But in Cao Cao''s heart, he was afraid of being flooded, so he ordered to be on guard.


    In the barracks, there are always soldiers in coir raincoats and hats on patrol to ensure that the hard disk is not attacked. After all, Cao''s army has 200000 soldiers, which is continuous and can''t have any problems.


    At the end of the day, Liu Xiu didn''t move at all.


    It rained all day and night, but it didn''t mean to stop.


    The roads in Deng county are already muddy.


    On the ground, there is a pool full of water.


    The next day, the heavy rain continued, not even abating.


    In the past two days, the river water in Deng county has been constantly rising, resulting in many farmland have been flooded. Cao Cao''s camp was not affected because of its high terrain, but there was water all around.


    It rained continuously for two and a half days.


    It rained for four days.


    This morning, after the heavy rain, the hot sun came to the earth again.


    Under the sunshine, there was a swamp everywhere, and the ground was dry. The rain even led to the flooding of many places in Deng county.


    In Cao''s camp, the Chinese army had a big account.


    Xun you came to Cao Cao''s side and reported: "Lord, it''s raining for four days in a row. Now the food in the camp needs to be replenished. "


    Cao Cao said: "Gongda, Deng county is full of water. Can it transport grain? How many days can our food last? "


    Xun you said: "it is estimated that we can still hold on for ten days."


    Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said, "since we can still hold on for ten days, we will wait for another two days. Now that the sun is exposed, it is expected that the water will recede in two or three days. Then we will send troops to escort the grain back. "


    Xun you nodded and said nothing more.


    Cao Cao said, "did Liu Xiu do anything?"


    Xun you shook his head and said, "not for the time being!"


    Cao Cao said: "pay close attention to Liu Xiu''s actions. It''s amazing that Liu Xiu didn''t send troops to attack this heavy rain. Liu Xiu must be plotting something again. And the army that entered Jiyang County has disappeared for the time being. I don''t know if it wants to fight for food. "


    Xun you said, "prime minister, grain is in Wan county. If Liu Xiu''s soldiers want to seize grain, they must conquer Wan county. But now it seems impossible. "


    After hearing the speech, Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "no matter what, we must be on guard.""No!"


    Xun you nodded, then turned back.


    Cao Cao sat alone in the camp with a dignified look in his eyes. Up to now, Cao Cao has not figured out what kind of tactics Liu Xiu would use.


    The more the other side did not act, the more worried Cao Cao was.


    The whole afternoon, the sun.


    The accumulated water on the ground evaporates and dries up rapidly.


    The higher ground dried up quickly. Especially where Cao''s camp was, the ground gradually returned to its usual condition.


    At night, in Liu Xiu''s camp, the soldiers took action.


    Under the starry sky, soldiers in black left the camp quickly and disappeared into the night.


    Liu Xiu led a group of soldiers to the gate of the camp. This place, the terrain is relatively low, around the backlog of deep leg water. Under the moonlight, the 100 soldiers led by Liu Xiu brought stones and piled them on the ground. Then they began to assemble the catapult.


    After a short time, three catapults were assembled.


    The location of the three catapults is 100 feet away from the camp. Each catapult is ten feet apart. After the assembly, the big stones weighing 100 Jin are placed on the catapult.


    Stone is exquisite, not round, but surrounded by sharp edges and corners.


    Yuan ye came to Liu Xiushen and reported, "my Lord, the assembly is complete."


    Liu xiudao: "wait!"


    Little by little, about a quarter of an hour later, a soldier quietly came to Liu Xiu''s position and reported: "my Lord, the position to the west of Cao''s camp is ready."


    The second soldier came and reported, "my Lord, to the north of Cao''s camp, everything is ready."


    The third soldier ran back and reported: "my Lord, the east side of Cao''s camp is ready."


    Liu Xiu was in the south. He was excited when he learned that all sides were ready. This war has finally come to this stage, and everything is ready.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "send the arrow!"


    "No!"


    The soldier was ordered, and in an instant, a blazing arrow took off. The sound of the arrow was very sharp, and it was even more fiery. Under the silent and dark night sky, you can see it anywhere in Cao Jun''s camp.


    "Bang! Bang


    Three catapults, start throwing stones.


    The projection distance of the catapult is 150 feet, and the catapult is 100 feet away from the camp. It means that the stones thrown by the catapult are enough to shoot 50 feet into the camp.


    This distance is an open place in the camp. There is no camp here.


    Three big stones flew in the air and landed on the ground in an instant.


    "Boom!"


    After the first big stone fell to the ground, it hit the ground hard, making the ground broken.


    "Chaka!"


    "Bang Dang!"


    The other two big stones also fell one after another and broke the ground.


    Big stones fall, with the sound of broken pots.


    When the attack was launched in the south of the camp, stones were also projected on the west, North and east of the camp 100 Zhang away from the camp. After these stones fell to the ground, the sound of tiles also broke.


    As the catapult bombarded the camp, Cao''s camp immediately thought of the battle drum.


    Countless soldiers rushed out of the dark and were on alert immediately.


    However, when they were ready, no enemy soldiers rushed in, only the second wave of stones came again.


    Two waves of stones fell on the bottom in a row, making big pits appear on the bottom.


    In the moonlight, the fragments of the earthen pots broke, and the brown fire oil flowed from the earthen pots. The fire oil flowed to both sides, because there was a hidden ditch on both sides of the pot, which was full of saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal and so on.

 Chapter 374

    As the fire oil flowed, it immediately soaked the saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal that had been buried underground.


    This happened in the East, South, West and north of the camp.


    Cao Cao rushed out of the camp. He was wearing a helmet and a sword in his hand. He was the first to kill in the front camp of the camp. Meanwhile, Cao Cao has ordered the soldiers of the barracks to gather.


    Before that, Liu Xiu had no action. Now he suddenly has action, which must be extraordinary.


    But Cao Cao is not worried. His 200000 troops are here.


    Even if Liu Xiu attacked, there would be no fire.


    When Cao Cao rushed to the front camp, he happened to see the burning fireballs coming from the air. When Cao Cao saw this scene, he sneered in his heart that it had just rained, although today''s weather was very hot, dry and easy to catch fire. But Cao Cao''s camp is so big and there are so many soldiers, it is not so easy to ignite.


    In a short time, Cao Cao''s generals, such as Xu Chu, Xu Yi, Xu Huang, Cao Ren and so on, had gathered.


    Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and Xun you also arrived.


    "Bang!"


    The fireball landed, making a dull sound of impact.


    "Boom!"


    The moment the fireball landed, the fire suddenly raised half a person high.


    The fire was burning with black smoke.


    Fifty feet away from the gate of the camp, there were three places where the fire broke out. The fire spread at the speed visible to the naked eye, and then merged. The wall of fire, half a man''s height, sprang up with a distance of nearly 100 feet.


    Seeing this, Cao Cao was shocked on the spot.


    How is it possible?


    How could three fires ignite a fire nearly 100 feet long.


    Suddenly, Cheng Yu said in a loud voice: "prime minister, it''s not good. Look at Houying."


    When Cao Cao looked back, he saw the location of the rear camp, which was also smoking heavily. Although we don''t know the specific situation of the burning, at least it won''t be better than that of the former camp.


    Xunyou said, "prime minister, it''s not good. There''s smoke in the East."


    Jia Xu said: "prime minister, smoke is also rising in the West."


    Cao Cao''s eyes were shocked and said: "there are fires in the East, South, West and North. Although they are serious, as long as they are put out, there will be no problem. Come on, go and put out the fire immediately. "


    Cao Cao ordered: "Cao Ren, you go to the rear camp and command the soldiers to put out the fire."


    "No!"


    Cao Ren got the order, turned around and left.


    Cao Cao ordered: "Xu Huang, you go to the east of the camp."


    "No!"


    Cao Ren was ordered to go east quickly.


    Cao Cao continued: "XiaHouYuan, you go to the West."


    "No!"


    XiaHouYuan was ordered to leave quickly.


    Cao Cao said: "Cao Zhang and Xu Chu, you follow the prime minister to put out the fire in the front camp. At the same time, the soldiers were ordered to be on guard against the attack of Jingzhou army. There is a fire in the camp and we are likely to be attacked. "


    They were ordered to put out the fire quickly.


    Among the soldiers, some soldiers took water to put out the fire, but as soon as the water splashed into the fire, it burst, and the fire became more fierce and could not be put out.


    Jia Xu said in a loud voice, "you can''t use water. It''s fire oil. It''s covered with mud and sand."


    But now it''s not so easy to move the soil. In particular, the buried underground is not only fire oil, but also fire charcoal, fire nitrate and sulfur. After burning, the fire is more and more ferocious.


    Cao Jun camp, constantly busy, busy with fire fighting.


    However, the burning fire has been unable to stop, difficult to put out, not only that, the fire is more fierce.


    Outside the camp, Liu Xiu looked at the burning camp and the smoking camp of Cao''s army. Seeing that Cao Cao had not planned to withdraw, he began to smile.


    The later Cao Cao withdrew, the more difficult it was to withdraw.


    Once the camp of 200000 troops burns, it will be a sea of fire.


    A quarter of an hour later, the fire became more serious.


    Standing in the camp, Cao Cao felt the burning fire and the heat wave. His heart, also more anxious.


    Up to now, the fire fighting has not been any success, but it is getting bigger and bigger. Not only that, the fire in all directions, the army in the circle.


    "Prime minister, No. There''s a fire in the camp. "


    "Prime minister, the soldiers'' tent is on fire."


    "Prime minister, all the fires are line by line, dividing the camp into several parts. The fire became more and more fierce, and many soldiers were affected. "


    The generals of the army came one after another.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    The sound of rapid footsteps came, and Xu Huang ran back. He came to Cao Cao''s side and reported: "prime minister, we can''t stay any longer. We are in a more difficult situation. Now, withdraw from the camp immediately, or all the 200000 troops will be buried in the sea of fire. "Cao Cao looked anxious and said, "Gongming, it''s not that far."


    Once we retreat, we will encounter ambush.


    Therefore, although Cao Cao was facing a crisis, he was not willing to withdraw immediately.


    Xu Huang solemnly said, "prime minister, Liu Xiu is vicious. The last general commanded the soldiers to resist the fire in the East. After checking along the fire, he found that ditches had been dug out underground. In the ditches, there were coals, nitrates, sulfur, and even tins of kerosene. Then it''s covered with soil to make sure it''s not found. "


    Xu Huang said: "it rained heavily before, which caused underground fire charcoal, fire nitrate, sulfur and so on to be affected by the tide, but with fire oil, all of these will not be affected. Especially after the fire oil from the East, South, West and north is ignited, the whole camp will fall into a sea of fire. "


    Cao Cao said: "Gongming, the prime minister did not understand."


    Xu Huang was even more worried. He explained once again, "Lord, to put it simply, Liu Xiu drew a line fifty feet from the front camp. After several tens of feet, another line was drawn to Houying in turn. "


    "Below these lines are the ditches that have been dug out."


    "All the ditches are hollowed out first, and then covered with nitrates, sulfur and so on."


    Xu Huang said: "Liu Xiu ignited the fire from the East, South, West and North. With the fire oil burning, the charcoal will soon burn and spread to the whole camp. Especially after burning, it is not easy to put out. In time, the camp will be divided into a piece of fire. Prime minister, Liu Xiu is vicious. Withdraw quickly. "


    The corner of Cao Cao''s mouth twitched and his eyes showed an incredible look.


    How is that possible?


    How could Liu Xiu dig out channels in this area in advance and then bury sulfur, charcoal and kerosene.


    Is Liu Xiu sure that he will be stationed here?


    Jia Xu said: "prime minister, Liu Xiu sent an army to Wan county. It seems to be bluffing and deliberately attracting our attention, so as not to let us know his real intention. Liu Xiu''s retreat and interception also attracted our attention. Moreover, the heavy rain also made the prime minister focus on the flood."


    Jia Xu sighed: "Liu Xiu chose to do it after the heavy rain on purpose. And he had a purpose to camp outside Deng county. Liu Xiu knew that the prime minister''s troops could not camp in ordinary places, but this area was open and would not be ambushed. So Liu Xiu laid an ambush here. Prime minister, we have entered Liu Xiu''s trap. The situation is not good. Withdraw. Later, the whole camp will be reduced to ashes. "


    The fire in the camp is getting bigger and bigger.


    Especially in the camp of Houying, there are many tents and many equipment. Under the fire, it burns fast.


    The whole camp is already in chaos.


    Cao Cao sighed, had to admit defeat, ordered: "withdraw, withdraw immediately!"


    With Cao Cao''s order, all the generals in the camp quickly gathered and rushed out of the camp. Rao is so. It is not easy for 200000 troops to leave the camp.


    The soldiers rushed out quickly, but the soldiers left behind fell into a sea of fire.


    Cao Cao, surrounded by his generals, also quickly broke out.


    When Cao Jun broke through, Liu Xiu saw it outside the camp and had a smile in his eyes. Now, Cao Cao is willing to break through. It''s too late to break through now.


    When the fire was just burning, Cao Cao broke through, and his soldiers would not lose much.


    Now, the fire is burning completely, and the whole camp has fallen into a sea of fire. If Cao Cao withdraws, his soldiers will surely be attacked by the fire, and countless soldiers will surely die in the sea of fire.


    Liu Xiu looks at the soldiers around him. At this time, Huang Hu, Zhang Ren and Sha Moke are all back.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "beat the drum and light the torch."


    "Dong! Dong


    The drums of war resounded outside the camp.


    A torch lit, Liu Xiu''s soldiers, strict array. Although the ground has silted up, Liu Xiu''s soldiers are all soldiers from the south of the Yangtze River and are used to this situation. It''s good for them to fight in this situation.


    The soldiers under Cao Cao''s command were shocked.


    Ambush!


    There was an ambush outside the camp.

 Chapter 375

    Under the cover of the soldiers, Cao Cao, Jia Xu, Xun you, Cheng Yu and others just rushed out of the camp and met the Jingzhou soldiers who had already lit the torch array.


    Cao Cao''s eyes cold Su, without any hesitation, directly ordered: "kill!"


    Cao''s soldiers rushed out of the camp.


    Under the fire light in the camp, the neighborhood was as bright as day.


    At this time, even if there is no torch, you can see clearly.


    But when I came out of the camp, the terrain gradually slowed down, and the distance was about 15 Zhang. It was a swamp, full of water deep in my legs. After the soldiers under Cao Cao rushed in, they slipped one by one and fell to the ground one after another.


    Before there was a war, there was no time for it.


    Cao Cao rushed out of the camp, but also a deep foot shallow foot in the mud, walking very uncomfortable, very not used to.


    The weather in the north is dry, although there is heavy rain, even this will happen. However, such a bog is rarely encountered, and it is only near the Yellow River at most.


    Cheng Yu is old, and it''s very difficult to walk in the mud.


    Cheng Yu looked worried and said, "prime minister, in such a quagmire, our combat effectiveness is too low. Moreover, there is a big fire in the camp. If you fight outside the camp and can''t break through, the soldiers in the rear will be blocked in the camp. On the contrary, it will lead to civil strife. Prime minister, we can''t fall in love with war. We''ll withdraw to Chaoyang County. "


    Cao Cao took a deep breath, looked at the direction of Jingzhou army, no longer love war, ordered a rapid retreat.


    "The man with the golden helmet is Cao Cao. Take Cao Cao alive."


    All of a sudden, there was a roar from Liu Xiu''s army.


    Cao Cao was so scared that he took off his helmet and threw it to the ground.


    "Retreat, retreat!"


    Cao Cao, nervous, rushed out of the camp with a group of people, then left the camp, turned around and retreated to Chaoyang County.


    Liu Xiu''s soldiers, with slow pace, step by step forward.


    The soldiers didn''t go to battle with knives, because they couldn''t move flexibly in the mud, so they all advanced with guns and lined up with long guns. Spearmen came forward bravely to stop Cao''s soldiers from breaking through the encirclement.


    Huang Hu, Zhang Ren and shamoko also led the army to fight.


    However, they did not cover up or pursue Cao Cao. They only prevented Cao Cao''s soldiers from leaving the camp. On the contrary, it was extremely difficult for Cao''s soldiers, because they were blocked, which meant that the soldiers behind could not escape and could only fall into the sea of fire.


    In the camp, it''s completely chaotic.


    The whole camp echoed the screams of countless soldiers.


    One by one, Cao''s soldiers were burning, and the flames were flashing, and the soldiers were constantly struggling. Countless firemen scurrying around, causing hundreds of thousands of Cao''s troops to lose morale.


    Liu xiuguang stopped the other party from rushing out of the camp, fighting from night to dawn.


    At this point, the camp was completely burnt.


    The sun is rising. Under the golden sun, the red earth is burning, and it also emits heat.


    No more soldiers rushed out of Cao''s camp.


    Outside the camp, the corpses piled up, which had been stained red with water. It was completely bleeding and sculling. Liu Xiu looked at the soldiers under his command and ordered them to advance north to cover up Cao Cao who had retreated.


    At this time, Cao Cao retreated all night, broke away from the mire of Deng County, and approached Chaoyang County.


    There were no pursuers behind, so he could finally stop and have a rest.


    The soldiers who followed Cao Cao were also exhausted.


    In addition, Cao Cao''s war horses suffered countless losses. The heavy rain and the muddy road made it difficult for the horses to move. The cavalry could not advance, but the soldiers retreated with their horses.


    Cao Cao stood up and looked back. The soldiers under his command were all in a mess.


    This war can be said to be crippled.


    Cao Cao ordered: "Cao Ren, count the soldiers."


    Cao Ren dragged his tired body and ordered the generals to count the soldiers. After counting all the soldiers, the expression on Cao Ren''s face became extremely dignified.


    Standing in front of Cao Cao, Cao Ren said, "prime minister, there are only 80000 soldiers left in the army."


    Cao Cao was silent when he heard the speech.


    There are only 80000 people left in the 200000 army, which is a great loss.


    Cao Cao did not know how many of the 120000 soldiers were burned to death and how many escaped. But now, there are only over 80000 soldiers in the army, and they are all disabled and defeated. Even the cavalry have lost their role and have no combat effectiveness at all.


    How can such 80000 people fight?


    Jia Xu''s tone was dignified, and he said slowly: "prime minister, although the loss is heavy, we still have 80000 people. As long as we reorganize our army, we can fight again. "


    Cheng Yu said: "prime minister, a temporary victory or defeat is nothing."


    Xun you said, "prime minister, it''s urgent. We will withdraw to Chaoyang County and stabilize the situation first. ""Ha ha ha..."


    Suddenly, the silent Cao Cao burst out laughing.


    The laughter made Cheng Yu, Xia Houyuan, Jia Xu and others feel strange.


    Cheng Yu asked, "why does the prime minister laugh?"


    Cao Cao said with a loud smile: "what I''m laughing at is that Liu Xiu is too conceited to put all his troops in Deng county. If the prime minister had set up a plan in advance, he would have set up an ambush on the road leading to Chaoyang County. Unfortunately, Liu Xiu is too young. If the prime minister withdraws today, he will surely be ashamed of today


    When they heard this, they were relieved.


    As long as Cao Cao has the will to fight, it''s OK to say, otherwise the situation is really bad.


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, a sentry came running from the front.


    Sentinel report loudly: "prime minister, Chaoyang County Magistrate led the army to kill."


    "Ah..."


    Cao Cao exclaimed in amazement. He stood up and ordered: "prepare for war! Prepare for war However, although the number of Cao Cao''s soldiers was large, they were extremely tired and their combat effectiveness was very weak.


    Soon, Chaoyang County Magistrate led the army to kill.


    The magistrate of Chaoyang County was very high spirited and roared: "thief Cao, the magistrate surrendered before because Liu Jingzhou had already given orders. Now, take your life. "


    "Kill, kill the thief Cao."


    "If you catch the thief alive, you will be promoted to three levels and be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver."


    "If you kill the thief Cao, you will be promoted to three levels, and you will be rewarded with silver."


    Chaoyang County Magistrate ordered that his 5000 soldiers be killed immediately. Although it was only five thousand troops, each of them was full of spirit, which was different from Cao Cao''s defeated generals.


    Cao Cao didn''t dare to delay. He ordered to fight, but instead of fighting, he chose to break through.


    A fight, Cao Cao killed out, non-stop rapid retreat.


    In the rear, the magistrate of Chaoyang County and his soldiers chased after each other and killed at the junction of Chaoyang County and Xinye county. Then the magistrate of Chaoyang County withdrew his troops.


    Cao Cao was relieved when he entered Xinye county.


    Finally back!


    Entering Xinye County, Cao Cao''s heart was steadfast.


    Cao Cao ordered to count the soldiers. After a count, the soldiers around Cao Cao lost more than half of them, leaving less than 50000 troops. Although Cao Cao knew that many soldiers had surrendered, or that many of them had run away, tens of thousands of people had not been killed.


    But such a miserable scene, Cao Cao heart incomparably uncomfortable.


    Cao Cao laughed in front of his subordinates and said, "since Liu Xiu controls Chaoyang County, it''s not difficult to ambush an army in Xinye county. If that''s true, I really don''t know what to do. Unfortunately, Liu Xiu missed it. When the prime minister returns to Xu county, he will make a comeback. "


    When they heard this, they were not glad that Cao Cao still had fighting spirit, but they thought that Cao Cao''s crow''s mouth would never be right.


    Otherwise, it''s really going to run away.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a sentinel came and said in a loud voice, "prime minister, it''s not good. There is a Jingzhou army in front of us. It''s coming at us now. "


    "Today is the day to make contributions. Kill the thief Cao."


    Powerful cry, from the front to kill out.


    A brave army appeared in Cao Cao''s sight.


    "Yi Yang, Wei Yan is here. Cao thief, take life."


    Wei Yan came to kill with a long knife. His eyes were murderous, and he had a proud smile at the corner of his mouth. From the beginning, Wei Yan was Liu Xiu''s special ambush in Xinye.


    The so-called attack on WAN county is just a gimmick.


    The attack on Jiyang County is just a show.


    The real purpose of Wei Yan was to find a reason to hide and wait for Cao Cao to withdraw.

 Chapter 376

    Cao Cao cold can not help but hit a cicada, really say what to what? Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Xun you and others look at Cao Cao resentfully, with the expression of don''t laugh and talk.


    "Retreat, retreat!"


    Cao Cao didn''t dare to delay and retreated quickly.


    The exhausted Cao soldiers had to pick up their spirits again and continue to retreat.


    When the soldiers met the Jingzhou soldiers under Wei Yan''s command, they could not resist at all. Even many soldiers'' weapons have been dropped, unarmed, dare not fight head on, can only continue to flee.


    Wei Yan''s killing was very happy.


    However, Cao Cao led his soldiers to flee first. After Wei Yan killed them for a while, he didn''t catch Cao Cao in the end. He wantonly covered up for a while, and then withdrew to join Liu Xiu.


    After Cao Cao withdrew from Xinye, he stationed his troops, but he did not stay in Xinye and went all the way to Jiyang County.


    Back in Jiyang County, we finally have soldiers.


    At this time, Cao Cao and his civil and military officials were relieved.


    After checking, Cao Cao''s soldiers were only over 20000. Such losses in front of Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao are completely messy.


    Of the 200000 troops, only more than 20000 escaped. It is true that in the next period of time, there will be soldiers coming back to join us, but the loss of this war is too heavy and the price is too high.


    After a day''s rest, Cao Cao called his generals to discuss the matter.


    Everyone adjusted for a day, but their faces were not good, they were still tired, and their eyes were dignified.


    200000 troops, set on fire!


    The soldiers who come back will not save one!


    Such a result is hard to accept and bear for anyone.


    Cao Cao looked at the civil and military generals under his command and said in a deep voice, "in this war, the prime minister has lost his troops. What do you think of it?"


    Cheng Yu, with a dignified face, said: "prime minister, the news of the army''s defeat will surely spread back to Xu county and to the northern states. Once the news gets around, if the prime minister fails to take the lead, I''m afraid a series of problems will arise in various states and counties, even in the imperial court. I implore the prime minister to give up his plan to attack Jingzhou for the time being and return to the imperial court immediately. "


    Cao Cao, however, said stubbornly: "Liu Xiu lost 180000 talents in this battle. If you don''t defeat Liu Xiu, you will never give up. "


    Although Cao Cao was defeated.


    However, Cao Cao still wanted face.


    In fact, Cao Cao''s heart, has wanted to retreat, but Cao Cao is difficult to speak, feel lost face. And so he withdrew, his heart was very uncomfortable.


    Xun you said, "prime minister, if you want to defeat Liu Xiu and avenge the soldiers, that''s what you have to do. But now, we have more important things to do. The prime minister must return to Xu county to take charge of the overall situation and stabilize people''s minds. Otherwise, the situation of the imperial court will be out of control and the rear area will be on fire, which will be very difficult. "


    Xun you solemnly said, "when the prime minister stabilizes the overall situation, it''s not too late to attack Jingzhou."


    After hearing this, Cao Cao''s face showed an emotional expression.


    Jia Xu has seen Cao Cao''s intention to retreat by observing his words. However, the words of retreat come from Cao Cao''s mouth. Cao Cao has no face, so he needs persuasion.


    Jia Xu said: "prime minister, the temporary forbearance is for revenge in the future. The prime minister will bear with it for a while. When the situation in the rear is stabilized, he will attack Liu Xiu. "


    After a pause, Jia Xu said: "the prime minister governs half of the country in the north and has a profound foundation. It is also easy to recruit soldiers again. But to recruit soldiers again, we need to retrain them. So it will take time. Prime minister, I suggest that we withdraw our troops first and then try to follow up. "


    After a day''s rest, Xu Chu recovered a lot and said, "prime minister, I also think we should withdraw. For the time being, we have no soldiers to go south. "


    Xu Huang, Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan and others nodded in agreement.


    Everyone, no one suggests fighting again.


    After seeing all the people under his command, Cao Cao ordered: "since all the princes have proposed to withdraw, it would be inappropriate for me to go my own way again. Stop going south to Jingzhou for the time being, and the prime minister will return to Xu county today. "


    As soon as the words changed, Cao Cao said, "Cao Ren, listen to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Cao Ren stepped forward and saluted.


    Cao Cao said, "you are still in charge of the battle in Nanyang County. You must be more careful."


    "No!"


    Cao Ren promised, but in his heart he secretly encouraged himself to attack Liu Xiu and capture Jingzhou.


    Xu Huang took the initiative to stand up and said, "prime minister!"


    Cao Cao said, "Gongming, what can I do for you?"


    Xu said in a voice: "prime minister, I will ask to stay in Nanyang County to assist general Cao Ren. Today''s defeat to Liu Xiu is due to, on the one hand, the unfamiliar topography of Jingzhou and, on the other hand, the different ways of fighting in Jingzhou. He is willing to stay and get familiar with the situation of Jingzhou, so as to prepare for the prime minister''s attack on Jingzhou in the future. "Cao Cao nodded and said, "I''m glad you have this ambition. Your request is in line


    "Thank you, Prime Minister!"


    Xu Huang''s eyes showed a look of excitement.


    After Cao Cao made arrangements one by one, he ordered his generals to deal with their own affairs. Cao Cao sat alone in the tent, his eyes were solemn, and he muttered to himself, "fengxiao, I lost nearly 200000 troops in this battle. In this war, we really lost miserably. If you''re alive, you won''t fall into the trap. "


    "It''s a pity that I didn''t listen to your advice and went my own way, which led to today''s situation."


    "If the prime minister followed your last advice and led 200000 troops to attack Yizhou, maybe now it will be another scene."


    "Liu Xiu is really a tough man to deal with."


    "Since I met him, every time I had a fight with him, he won in the end. Could it be that Liu Xiu is the one who comes specifically for me, Cao Cao. But you can rest assured that although Liu Xiu is quite powerful, I am not discouraged. I don''t believe it. Liu Xiu of Jingzhou can''t take it. "


    Cao Cao sat alone and muttered to himself.


    At this time, his emotion was completely revealed. In front of the generals under his command, Cao Cao has always been an expression of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him. Even if the army was defeated, his heart was lost, and he did not show his decadence.


    Now, being alone, Cao Cao is venting his emotions.


    ¡­¡­


    Chaoyang County, where Liu Xiu''s army converged.


    They camped outside the city.


    The big account of the Chinese army, everyone is seated.


    Liu Xiu had a strong smile in his eyes and said: "in this war, Cao Cao''s 200000 troops were completely defeated. In a short time, Cao Cao could not go south any more. This war laid the foundation for the development of Jingzhou. "


    Wei Yan has been convinced of Liu Xiu, he praised: "the Lord''s plan, can be described as a magic stroke, unexpected.". Although the thief Cao was cunning, he didn''t guess the master''s killing move. "


    Zhang Ren said: "the Lord threw out false appearances to confuse Cao Cao''s eyes. On this basis, Cao Cao could not guess the master''s plan. What''s more, the Lord''s plan itself is hard to measure. "


    A group of people praised one after another.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "the perfection and success of this strategy also depends on your implementation. Now Cao Cao''s withdrawal means that the situation in Nanyang County has come to an end for the time being. I will also withdraw to Xiangyang, but I have to make arrangements before I leave. "


    The expression of all the people was dignified.


    Liu said: "Zhang Ren listens to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Zhang Ren stood up and saluted.


    Liu xiudao: "I have appointed you as general Pingbei to take charge of the Fifth Army. The Fifth Army is stationed in Chaoyang County. The 5000 soldiers of Wei Yan and the former Yizhou army were all under your command. I have informed you of the structure and operation of each army. Next, I hope you can take up the important task and garrison Nanyang. "


    "No!"


    Zhang Ren was excited and saluted.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes turned and fell on Wei Yan, saying: "Wei Yan listens to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Wei Yan also stepped forward and saluted.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Wei Yan, I appoint you to be the governor of Nanyang. For the time being, the county is located in Chaoyang County. You know the situation of Nanyang Bureau. I hope you can shoulder the important task in Nanyang County. "


    "I''ll do it


    Wei Yan arched his hand and agreed.


    At this time, Wei Yan''s heart is excited, because he is also in charge of a county now. Although there is a part of Nanyang County in Cao Cao''s hands, it is not complete, but it means that he has entered this step.


    Next, Liu Xiu arranged some chores of Nanyang County and dealt with everything. Liu Xiu left Chaoyang County with Pang Tong, Huang Hu and Sha Moke and went to Xiangyang.

 Chapter 377

    Yuzhang County, Yichun county.


    Jiangdong barracks!


    Zhou Yu fought with Huang Zhong in the Chinese army and adopted a steady strategy.


    The two sides fought fiercely on the border and fought each other repeatedly.


    After fighting for such a long time, they couldn''t help each other.


    On this day, Zhou Yu was reading a book. All of a sudden, he was restless and could not calm down. He put down his books, went to a map hanging in the tent, and stared at the junction of Yichun county and Ancheng county.


    A moment later, Zhou Yu went to the sand table in the tent again.


    This sand table was specially made by Zhou Yu. It has detailed landform from Yichun county to Ancheng County, Chaling county to you county.


    On the sand table, the respective garrisons are clearly marked.


    "Yes, no problem."


    Zhou Yu looked at the map again, and his face showed a light touch.


    However, the worries in my heart still remain.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a sentry came in from outside the camp, knelt down on one knee and reported: "governor of Dadu, news is coming back from the front line. Huang Zhong''s troops stationed in Ancheng County tend to approach Yichun county. "


    "I see. Pay close attention."


    Zhou Yu nodded. He returned to the seat with a smile on his face.


    I thought it was something. It turned out that Huang Zhong''s army had an action. It''s just that he and Huang Zhong are winning and losing each other now, and they haven''t been able to distinguish.


    In most cases, Huang Zhong avoided fighting. Only in a very few cases can Huang Zhong be sure that he leads his troops to fight, but he will retreat at one blow and never go deep.


    This time, Huang Zhong chose to take the initiative to attack, which is really a strange thing.


    "Dudu, it''s not good."


    Suddenly, Cheng Pu''s voice came from outside the big account. A moment later, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Cheng Pu came in in a hurry, with a look of panic on his face.


    Zhou Yu frowned and said, "what happened to de Mou?"


    Cheng Pu sat down and said, "governor of Dadu, in a big event, Cao Cao was defeated, and Liu Xiu won a big victory."


    "Ah


    Zhou Yu exclaimed, his face full of shock.


    Cao Cao''s hundreds of thousands of troops went south, claiming to have 800000 troops. However, Zhou Yu knew that Cao Cao''s troops could not have reached 800000, or at most 200000.


    But for Jiangdong, the number of troops is astronomical.


    If it is Jiangdong, it will be hard to resist.


    Jingzhou, after all, was attacked by Liu Bei in Jiangxia and Zhou Yu in Changsha. This kind of situation has already exhausted Jingzhou.


    In Zhou Yu''s view, Liu Xiu is bound to lose.


    Even, Zhou Yu had been waiting for Liu Xiu to make peace.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu won, or a complete victory.


    Zhou Yu asked, "what''s the matter with de Mou? How did Liu Xiu win? "


    Cheng Pu shook his head and replied, "I don''t know Liu Xiu''s specific strategy for winning. According to the current news, we only know that Cao Cao''s 800000 troops have been destroyed, while Liu Xiu won with 30000 troops. Well, the reason why Liu Xiu won seems to be fire attack. But how to use fire attack is unknown. "


    After hearing this, Zhou Yu had a sharp look in his eyes and once again said, "do you confirm the news, de Mou?"


    Cheng Pu said: "governor, this news is absolutely correct."


    After hearing this, Zhou Yu sighed. His face was a little tired and unwilling. He said, "is this the end of the world


    In the words, there is a trace of sadness.


    Cao Cao''s two or three hundred thousand troops could not defeat Liu Xiu. If it was Jiangdong, Zhou Yu really did not know how to defeat Liu Xiu.


    Such a situation gives Zhou Yu a headache.


    Cheng Pu said: "governor, although Liu Xiu defeated Cao Cao, it doesn''t mean that Liu Xiu is really invincible. It can only be said that Cao Cao belittled the enemy. "


    Zhou Yu said, "no matter what, Liu Xiu really won."


    Cheng Pu said, "I''ll send this news to my Lord. Please make a decision."


    Zhou Yu nodded, and Cheng Pu stepped back.


    After Cheng Pu left, Zhou Yu went to the sand table and murmured to himself, "Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong, you didn''t want to send troops before. Now, finally, the initiative to send troops, is it because of Liu Xiu''s reason? Hum, Liu Xiu defeated Cao Cao, but that doesn''t mean you can really win. As long as I''m in Yuzhang County for one day, I won''t let your army move forward. "


    ¡­¡­


    Chai sang, Liu Bei barracks.


    Liu Bei''s army stationed in Chaisang, and then actively prepared to attack Jiangxia county.


    It''s just that there is no water army under Liu Bei''s command, and Jiangdong''s water army camp in Poyang Lake does not obey Liu Bei''s command at all. Although Zhuge Liang had outstanding talent, only Liu Bei''s troops could not be deployed, and it was difficult to attack Jiangxia county.So far, there has been no breakthrough.


    On this day, in the barracks.


    Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang sat opposite each other. Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and asked, "Kong Ming, are the Jiangdong soldiers of Poyang Lake water stronghold willing to send troops?"


    Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "I still don''t want to!"


    After a pause, Zhuge Liang said: "Lord, it seems that we have to do our own work to capture Jiangxia county. Moreover, although Sun Quan accepted our military presence, he is still suspicious at present. Lord, if we want to have a foothold, we can only seize Jiangxia. "


    Liu Bei asked, "what is the plan of Kong Ming?"


    Zhuge Liang replied, "the only way is to lure the snake out of the cave and lure Huang Zu out. Then, take the opportunity to annihilate Huang Zu''s troops. At present, even if Huang Zu is annihilated, taishici''s Fourth Army will still be stationed. According to the information, the Fourth Army''s division was ma su. I know Ma Su as well. It is said that he is good at marching and arraying troops. After we defeated Huang Zu, we had to take the army of Tai Shici to win. Therefore, it is still quite difficult. "


    Liu Bei asked, "what can Kong Ming do to defeat Tai Shici?"


    Zhuge Liang put a smile on his mouth and said, "to deal with taishici, we have to let people from Jiangdong come forward. Therefore, Sun Quan needs to come here in person. My Lord, I have sent someone to Wu county to send a letter to ask Sun Quan to Chaisang to deal with Tai Shici. I believe Sun Quan will agree to defeat Tai Shici. "


    Liu Bei had a smile on his face and said, "Kong Ming, it''s good to have you."


    Zhuge Liang said, "my Lord, I''m wrong."


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sudden sound of footsteps came from outside the hall.


    Chen Dao, dressed in armor and armed with a sword, entered the hall quickly. With a look of shock on his face, he knelt down and said, "my Lord, military adviser, it''s not good."


    Zhuge Liang asked, "Shuzhi, what happened?"


    Chen said: "Jingzhou came the news that Cao Cao''s 800000 troops had been destroyed and defeated by Liu Xiu''s 30000 troops."


    "Ah


    In the eyes of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, there was a look of surprise.


    This news is really shocking.


    Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang actively planned for Jiangxia because Liu Xiu was besieged and faced with danger everywhere. They had no skills to separate themselves, so they had a chance. Once Liu Xiu defeated Cao Cao''s 800000 troops, let alone Liu Xiu could transfer his troops to support Jiang Xia, it was Liu Xiu''s victory that was enough to make people fear.


    Chen continued: "it is said that Cao Cao''s defeat was due to a big fire. We don''t know more details. "


    Zhuge Liang said: "Lord, Liu Xiu has stabilized the situation in Jingzhou. Next, we will try our best to deal with Jiangdong. When Sun Quan comes, we can discuss the matter. Sun Quan has a stronger sense of crisis, and it will be easier to mobilize his troops. "


    Liu Bei said: "Kong Ming, it''s up to you. Alas, heaven is going to kill me, Liu Bei. Liu Xiu even defeated Cao Cao''s 800, 000 troops. "


    Zhuge Liang said: "Lord, it''s 800000. It''s good to have 200000 troops. Now without Cao Cao, the situation in the South has become more delicate. On the other hand, we are more advantageous because Sun Quan needs us more. "


    Liu Bei nodded, still worried in his eyes.

 Chapter 378

    Jiangdong, Wuxian!


    Wu Houfu!


    In the backyard, Sun Quan wore a single dress and was dancing a sword.


    During this period of time, Sun Quan was in a good mood for the simple reason that Cao Jun went south to attack Jingzhou. It is true that Sun Quan knew that once Liu Xiu was defeated and Jingzhou was occupied, Cao Cao would attack Jiangdong. However, Sun Quan was angry.


    Liu Xiu should clean up! If Cao Cao really forced Liu Xiu to be desperate, Sun Quan would lend a helping hand to Liu Xiu.


    As long as Liu Xiu is alive and Liu Xiu''s troops are still there, Cao Cao will not be able to attack Jiangdong.


    Therefore, Sun Quan impolitely asked Zhou Yu to attack Jingzhou and wanted to get a piece of the cake at this time.


    If you can capture a little territory, that''s a little.


    "Whew!"


    The sword breathes and breathes, the long sword breaks through the air, with unparalleled sharpness.


    After a round of sword, Sun Quan was wet with sweat.


    Sun Quan took his sword and prepared to wash. At this time, at the gate of the courtyard, a valet came in a hurry and reported: "Mr. Hou, Mr. Zhang Zhao asked for a meeting. He said it was urgent."


    Sun Quan smelled of sweat. Now when he went to see Zhang Zhao, he felt uncomfortable.


    In particular, Sun Quan now feels that Liu Xiu is not in a hurry to stop the big things.


    Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "please come to the hall. I''ll be there soon."


    "No!"


    The Chamberlain went to preach, while Sun Quan went to wash his hands.


    Two quarters of an hour later, Sun Quan came to the hall fresh and fresh.


    As soon as he entered the hall, Zhang Zhao stood up from his seat and asked, "what''s the matter with you, my lord? It''s a long delay."


    "Well..."


    Sun Quan raised his eyebrows and showed dissatisfaction in his eyes.


    What''s the tone?


    Even though Zhang Zhao is a orphan of Sun Quan, he should not be so arrogant.


    However, Zhang Zhao''s anger was heavy.


    Sun Quan said, "Mr. Zhang, I really have something to deal with, so I''m late."


    Zhang Zhao said: "after practicing sword, is bathing a big event?"


    As soon as the words came out, Sun Quan couldn''t hang his face. His eyes were sharp and he said, "Mr. Zhang, why is that so?" Rao is so, Sun Quan is still suppressing anger, unwilling to tear his face. The situation in Jiangdong is not very good. There are many things to rely on Zhang Zhao. Moreover, Zhang Zhao is indeed Sun Quan''s minister of orphanage and has a high prestige.


    Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan and suddenly sighed.


    Old face, showing a helpless look.


    Sun Quan saw that something was wrong. If Cao Cao defeated Liu Xiu and Jingzhou was in danger, Zhang Zhao would not have done so. After all, he had drawn up a plan at the beginning.


    Is it something else?


    But what can make Zhang Zhao behave like this.


    Sun Quan asked, "Mr. Zhang, what happened?"


    Zhang Zhao said: "just received the news, Liu Xiu defeated Cao Cao''s 800000 troops. Moreover, Liu Xiu''s military strength was only over 30000, which alone defeated Cao Cao''s 800000 troops. The news has spread


    "Ah


    When Sun Quan heard this, he was shocked.


    The news is so shocking, it''s incredible.


    Is it possible for 30000 troops to defeat 800000?


    Sun Quan swallowed his saliva. Because of Zhang Zhao''s opposition, he flew to the sky. In his heart, Liu Xiu defeated Cao Cao.


    Sun Quan took a deep breath, calmed himself down and asked, "Mr. Zhang, is the news true?"


    "Newspaper!"


    At this time, another soldier came in quickly.


    The soldier entered the hall, knelt down on one knee, took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "Marquis Wu, most of them are urgent letters."


    "Present it!"


    As soon as Sun Quan waved, a soldier took the letter and handed it to Sun Quan.


    Sun Quan opened it and asked the soldiers to step down. Then he looked at Zhang Zhao and said, "Mr. Zhang, Liu Xiu really won. With nearly 30000 soldiers, he defeated Cao Cao in a big fire. The specific details of the war are not yet known. "


    After a pause, Sun Quan was also worried and said: "after Liu Xiu wins, the focus will definitely be on Jiangdong. It''s just that Jiangdong can''t stop him if he meets Liu Xiu. "


    Without anyone to restrain Liu Xiu, the pressure on Sun Quan is enormous. Just imagine that Liu Xiulian and Cao Cao''s 800000 troops have been defeated, not to mention Jiangdong''s forces.


    "Newspaper!"


    Another soldier came in and reported: "Marquis Wu, there is a letter from Liu Bei."


    Sun Quan took the letter and read it again. His face sank.


    Zhang Zhao asked, "Lord, what did Liu Bei say?"


    Sun Quan replied: "Liu Bei''s letter says that if we want to capture Jiangxia, we must defeat Jiangxia''s garrison. However, the chief General of the garrison in Jiangxia was taishici, the former general of Jiangdong. Liu Bei hoped that the Marquis would go to Chaisang in person to persuade taishici to surrender. Even if we can''t persuade him, we should let him lose his sense of propriety. "Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "my Lord, no!"


    Sun Quan said: "Mr. Zhang, I think it is feasible. I really want to see how Tai Shici faces the marquis. If we can''t conquer Jiangxia. Then, the marquis will go to Yuzhang to visit the metropolitan governor and ask about the war. If the war is extremely unfavorable, then Jiangdong may ask Liu Xiu for peace. "


    Zhang Zhao said: "Lord, it''s not easy to ask for peace."


    Sun Quan said: "the greatest sincerity for peace is marriage. If it doesn''t work, it will be a marriage with Jingzhou in the end. I believe that Liu Xiu will not be too forced. "


    The so-called marriage is to make use of sun Shangxiang''s value.


    After all, when sun Shangxiang married Liu Xiu in the past, Liu Xiu finally chose to escape. Now sun Shangxiang is still unmarried and can still get married.


    Zhang Zhao nodded and made no comment.


    Even sun Shangxiang should have the consciousness of sacrifice at this time when Jiangdong encountered a great event of life and death. If we can keep Jiangdong, it is worth sacrificing a sun Shangxiang.


    Zhang Zhao said: "since my Lord has made a decision, I will no longer participate in it."


    Sun Quan said: "Mr. Zhang, I will leave for Chaisang today. When you are not in Wu County, you are in charge of the affairs of Jiangdong. "


    "No!"


    Zhang Zhao nodded, but his face was serious.


    The situation in Jiangdong is not optimistic.


    And in Zhang Zhao''s mind, I''m afraid this marriage is imperative.


    In the afternoon of that day, Sun Quan left Wuxian by boat, took the Yangtze River trunk road all the way west, and soon came to Chaisang. When they arrived at Chaisang, Sun Quan and Liu Bei had a talk and worked out a plan. Sun Quan wrote a letter to taishici''s camp in Qichun county.


    Taishici''s reply was very quick. He sent a messenger to Chaisang and only gave a reply of six words.


    In its position, seek its politics!


    The simple six words cut off the relationship between Sun Quan and Tai Shici.


    Taishici was very clear about his position, especially when he was in charge of Sun Quan. After hearing this, he made up his mind completely.


    Marriage!


    Only by marriage can we seek peace, postpone the war, and strive for time for breathing and layout.


    Otherwise, when Liu xiusha comes, Sun Quan''s life will be very hard.


    After Sun Quan made his decision, he went north to Chaisang, told Liu Bei the news, and asked Liu Bei to lay out slowly. Then he took a boat along the main road of the Yangtze River and drove all the way East, and finally returned to Wu County.


    When he returned to Marquis Wu''s residence, he began to prepare for the marriage.


    Since we want to get married with Jingzhou, we must make sufficient preparations.

 Chapter 379

    Jingzhou, Xiangyang!


    The news that Liu Xiu defeated Cao Cao''s 800000 troops is like a hurricane spreading in Xiangyang.


    Originally, Cao Cao''s 800, 000 troops were killed, and people were terrified.


    In private, many officials in Jingzhou have begun to prepare to surrender to Cao Cao and prepare for the future. But the wind suddenly changed, Liu Xiu with less than 30000 troops, defeated Cao Cao''s 800000 troops, it is incredible.


    For a time, Jingzhou, which had been in a state of panic, immediately changed.


    No matter the officials or the common people, they all respected Liu Xiu like heaven and man.


    Who can defeat Cao Cao''s 800000 troops!


    Only Liu Xiu!


    Since then, Liu Xiu''s position has been completely established.


    Liu''s prestige in Jingzhou has been completely surpassed.


    When Liu biaogang died of illness and Liu Xiu was in charge of Jingzhou, or even set up three military barracks to control Jingzhou, although he was in charge of Jingzhou in name, in fact, many people didn''t agree with Liu Xiu.


    After all, Liu Xiu was too young to speak because of his ability.


    Now with the victory of defeating Cao Cao''s 800000 troops, Liu Xiu is a worthy hero.


    Jingzhou''s major families, the major celebrities, are no longer ambivalent.


    In recent days, every day, the prefectural government has received a gift to congratulate Liu Xiu for defeating Cao Cao. However, in the face of this situation, Liu Xiu had no complacency except a knowing smile.


    The defeat of Cao Cao in this battle did not lay the foundation for Liu Xiu to defeat Cao Cao, but gained more time and time to capture Jiangdong.


    If the south is not stable and there is no stable rear area, Liu Xiu''s plan to attack Cao Cao in the north is empty talk.


    So after Liu Xiu won, there was no excitement.


    Prefecture, backyard!


    Liu Xiu sits in the yard, while Deng AI dances his sword in the yard.


    Deng AI is now much taller and more handsome. At a glance, he seems to be a big guy. But in fact, Deng AI is less than 12 years old.


    His early experience made him mature too early.


    At the end of the sword dance, Deng AI came to Liu Xiu''s side and said, "young master, how''s my swordsmanship?"


    "Not so much!"


    Liu Xiu began to say a word, Deng AI immediately said: "my swordsmanship, master said good."


    Deng Zhan was also in Xiangyang. Deng AI asked Deng Zhan for advice from time to time. His swordsmanship was very good. In Deng Zhan''s eyes, it''s quite good for Deng AI to have such composure and swordsmanship at this age.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "otherwise, we can have a competition."


    After hearing this, Deng AI seemed to encounter something terrible. He shook his head and said, "if you say it''s careless, it must be careless, or you don''t want to try the sword."


    Once upon a time, Deng AI felt that his swordsmanship was not bad and asked Liu Xiu for credit.


    I don''t know. I was severely hit by Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu offered to try the sword, but Deng AI agreed without thinking about it. As soon as they met, Deng AI regretted it. Liu Xiu''s swordsmanship was merciless. He had no chance to kill him. He was totally one-sided.


    After two times in a row, Deng AI learned to be good and no longer compared with Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said with a light smile: "boy, your swordsmanship needs to step into the arena, and you need to practice it slowly. You should practice your sword well."


    "No!"


    Deng AI agreed and took up the sword.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A rapid sound of footsteps came from outside the yard.


    At the gate of the courtyard, Deng Zhan appeared.


    Deng AI bowed and said, "master!"


    Deng Zhan nodded, then saluted Liu Xiu with his fist. He said in a deep voice, "my Lord, I have received the news from Yizhou. When Liu Zhang learned that Deng Xian had been killed and Zhang Ren had surrendered to his Lord, he was very angry and wanted to launch an army against him. But in the end, Zhang Song and Fazheng pushed it down. Liu Zhang has sent envoys to Xiangyang to ask for a statement. "


    Liu Xiu said, "well, I welcome you! But who is the ambassador? "


    Deng Zhandao said: "this time, the envoy was named Lingbao, a famous general in Yizhou, second only to Zhang Ren. It was Fazheng who helped Ling Bao. This time, Ling Bao and FA Zheng came for Zhang Ren''s sake. "


    Liu Xiu nodded. Now that he knew the intention of the other party, it was easy to do.


    Liu Xiu asked: "Yizhou, do you know the news of Cao Cao''s defeat?"


    "Now, we should know. However, the news came to Chengdu only after Lingbao and Fazheng left Chengdu. Now that Liu Zhang has got the news, he doesn''t know whether he regrets sending someone to Xiangyang to start a crime. "


    Liu xiudao: "no matter what Liu Zhang thinks, you should try your best to put more people in Yizhou. Especially now that Cao Cao''s 800000 troops are defeated, Jingzhou is in the ascendant, which is an opportunity to win over Yizhou''s civilian and military generals. In addition, what progress has Jiangdong made? "Deng Zhan replied: "at present, Jiangdong has not won the battle with us. The situation is still deadlocked. "


    Liu Xiu asked: "the spies in Jiangdong should be strengthened."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan nodded, saw Liu Xiu wave his hand, and stepped down.


    When Deng zhangang left, another servant reported that Kuai Liang and Yi Ji wanted to see each other.


    In the study, the guest and host sit down.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "Mr. zirou and Mr. Jibo are coming together. Is there anything important?"


    Yi Ji took a look at Kuai Liang and motioned him to tell him.


    Kuai Liang took a deep breath and solemnly said: "Lord, Jingzhou has been fighting since last year. No matter Jiangxia, Changsha or Nanyang, they are all consuming grain. This year, more food will be consumed. "


    "Especially after the Lord took office, he strengthened the control of the army. Now the strength of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth armies in Jingzhou is close to 150000."


    "These five armies need to consume a lot of food every day."


    "With continuous wars and daily consumption, the grain accumulated in Jingzhou began to decrease by a large margin."


    "Today''s grain reserves are only enough to guarantee the grain at the end of next year."


    "If there is a large-scale conscription, or if the war continues, the grain supply in Jingzhou will be difficult."


    Kuai Liang said: "food is the most important thing for the people, and food is the foundation. Once there is a problem with food, Jingzhou will be in turmoil. Moreover, the Pang family, the Huang family, the Kuai family, and even other big families in Jingzhou have tried their best to cooperate with each other. However, in terms of food, there are really big problems, so we have to consider them later. "


    Kuai Liang said: "the number of soldiers in the army has increased several times. Besides the soldiers who support the army, they also need to consume a lot of food."


    Yi Ji zhengse said: "Lord, I''d like to join zirou in the hope that Lord will take advantage of the opportunity to defeat the 800000 troops of Cao army to temporarily suspend and rest. Jingzhou is not as good as Cao Cao. Unlike Cao Cao, it can collect grain from all counties. There are only a few counties in Jingzhou. If we want to collect grain, it will increase the burden on the people. "


    What they said made Liu Xiu fall into silence.


    Originally, Liu Xiugang defeated Cao Cao, and it was time for him to be complacent and intend to continue to expand his achievements. Even Liu Xiu has already considered it. Next, he will continue to use troops in Jiangdong.


    Now when I heard what Kuai Liang and Yi Ji said, my heart was cold.


    This is the reason why the foundation is weak.


    Although Jingzhou Chengping has accumulated a lot of grain for many years, the annual consumption is very huge.


    Especially when Liu Xiu expanded his army, he did not want to spend money on food.


    Now, this situation is normal.


    Liu Xiu took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Ji Bo, it''s the end of June now. After a while, it''s the harvest season. What''s the growth of grain this year?"


    With a smile on her face, Yi Ji replied, "it''s been a good year. I''ll consider it according to my consideration. After this season''s grain harvest, the government will use the soldiers of various armies to reclaim the farmland, and then harvest another season next year. Then, in the next three to five years, there will be no food problems. After all, the farmland reclaimed by more than 100000 soldiers will be a huge amount of data. In addition, we can allow the people to participate and expand the scope of farming. "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu said, "I agree to your consideration. I will adjust my strategy in the near future. I will turn attack into defense. I will stop fighting for the time being


    As soon as these words came out, Kuai Liang and Yi Ji''s faces showed a smile and a sigh of relief.


    Yi Ji said: "my Lord is wise!"


    Kuai Liang arched his hand and said, "it''s a blessing for Jingzhou that the Lord can make a quick decision and postpone the war."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "don''t praise them. We have to rely on them for the government affairs of Jingzhou."


    After Kuai Liang and Yi Ji left, Liu Xiu began to write an order, ordering the armies to postpone the recruitment of soldiers, and then let Deng Zhan pass it on to each army.


    After the news was sent out, Liu Xiu went to the backyard and took Huang Yueying out to go shopping. Now that there is a truce for the time being, Liu Xiu will just relax and go out with Huang Yueying.

 Chapter 380

    When Liu Xiu left the mansion, Huang Hu naturally had to follow him.


    Huang Hu was supposed to take his entourage, carrying a drum jar and a gold hammer. At Liu Xiu''s command, he did not bring his entourage, nor did he carry a drum jar or a gold hammer. Instead, he changed into a thin black robe and left the prefecture with Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying.


    This era is not like the information explosion of later generations. Any leader can easily recognize it, because it can be known on TV or other channels.


    Now, unless I have seen Liu Xiu personally, I really don''t know him.


    So Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying strolled around, but no one recognized them.


    When they came to the market, they walked and strolled.


    On the roadside, there are all kinds of snacks, jugglers, and many people carrying firewood.


    While Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying were wandering, an old man with two loads of dry firewood came over. Seeing this, Huang Hu stepped forward and stood in front of Liu Xiu, keeping the old man away.


    "Young master, do you want firewood? It''s very cheap. I don''t want any money. I only need two liters of coarse cereals. "


    There was a trace of hope on the old man''s face.


    Liu Xiu waved Huang Hu back and said, "old man, why do you want food instead of firewood?"


    The old man was quite talkative and said with a smile, "when he sold the money, he went to buy the grain. When he bought the grain, he might be stolen. If you want food, you can cook it when you go home. "


    Liu Xiu asked again, "old man, how many people are there in the family?"


    "Five people!"


    The old man said with a smile, "there is an old woman, daughter-in-law and good grandson in my family. My son is in the army."


    Liu xiudao: "the old man''s home, rely on you to sell firewood to live?"


    The old man shook his head and said, "of course not. The little old man''s son also has money in the army. Every month, he would go home and bring back a lot of money. There is enough money at home. Now there is no farm work, so the little old man comes out to sell firewood and subsidize the family. "


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "old man, I heard that Liu Xiu, a herdsman in Jingzhou, has been fighting for many years, so that the common people are very hard. Is that the same true in your family?"


    This words, the old man looked at Liu Xiu''s eyes, become bad up.


    The old man was very indignant and said angrily, "young master, how do you speak? Although Zhou Mu has been fighting all the time, it''s all for Jingzhou. Don''t you want anyone to resist the bandits in Jiangdong? It''s said that Cao Cao led 800000 troops to kill, which was also defeated by Zhou mu. If there is no Zhou mu, where can Jingzhou have peace? "


    "You''re a young man. You don''t know what to do."


    "You, have you never experienced the time when Jingzhou thieves made trouble. At that time, there were murderers everywhere and robbers everywhere. How could there be a good day now? "


    The old man gave Liu Xiu a white look and said with courage: "my firewood won''t be sold to you. Hum, young man, take care of yourself."


    With that, the old man left with dry wood.


    Liu Xiu looked at the figure of the old man leaving, but his embarrassed face showed a smile.


    Huang Yueying took Liu Xiu''s hand and said, "my husband, although there are constant wars, the common people understand." Her eyes also showed a touch of happiness.


    Liu Xiu smiles and walks with Huang Yueying all the way.


    When passing through jewelry shops, Huang Yueying selects jewelry, while Liu Xiu asks about people''s livelihood.


    After walking around, Liu Xiu learned a lot about the people''s feelings, and Huang Yueying also bought a lot of jewelry, as well as pretty clothes. She was very happy.


    Liu Xiu walked around and knew that the people didn''t complain about the continuous fighting. However, Liu Xiu also saw that the continuous wars had caused a great burden on Jingzhou.


    After all, the cost of a war is considerable.


    After Huang Yueying left all her jewelry, Liu Xiu asked Huang Yueying to change her dress. Then they left Xiangyang with Huang Hu and headed for lumen mountain.


    At the foot of the mountain, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying went to see Huang Chengyan and his wife.


    After a conversation, Huang Yueying and her mother left.


    Liu Xiu and Huang Chengyan left the Huang family and went to the hillside.


    At the gate of the mansion, when Pang Degong saw Liu Xiu, he said with a smile, "I just said, how could there be a magpie singing on the branch this morning? It turns out that Xiu Er has come back."


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "I''d like to see you."


    Pang Degong took Liu Xiu by the hand and said, "go, follow me into the mansion."


    The three entered the hall, and the guests and hosts took their seats.


    Pang said: "Xiuer, you have defeated Cao Cao''s 800000 troops with less than 30000 troops this time. You are famous all over the world. Since then, anyone who mentions Liu Xiu will have to look up to him. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "teacher, it''s all empty. It''s said that it''s 800000 troops. That''s what Cao Cao said. As a matter of fact, Cao Cao is only 200000 troops. "Pang said with a light smile: "in this war, you did not unite with Jiangdong, relying on the strength of Jingzhou to fight against Cao Cao alone, and defeated Cao Cao''s army. Although it''s 200000 troops, it''s a good fight. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "the teacher is wrong."


    Pound Fair: "although the war won, but the teacher has to pour a basin of cold water on you."


    Liu Xiu said, "please teach me!"


    Pound said justly: "in the past, you wantonly garrisoned land in you County, although you let the people of you County breathe, alleviated the famine in you county. But successive wars have already hindered the development of Jingzhou. "


    "Moreover, because of the continuous collection of grain, the Pang family and the Huang family have no spare power to give a lot of grain."


    "Third, the continuous campaign has brought great burden to the government and the people. People don''t feel bitter, but after all, life is still tight. Even if they don''t suffer from hunger, it''s quite hard. "


    Pound said justly: "I hope that you can take advantage of this opportunity to defeat Cao Cao and have a short rest, so that the people can have a rest, and also give the counties and counties a little time to let them have a rest."


    At this time, pound raised the same question.


    Huang Chengyan said: "Xiuer, I think the analysis of Duke De is correct. Jingzhou has been fighting continuously. Now, we really need to recuperate."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "I will take the advice of my teacher and father-in-law. In fact, Yi Ji and Kuai Liang raised the same question, and I have agreed to order all the armies not to recruit any more and to postpone the war. "


    When pound heard the speech, his face showed a bright smile.


    It''s a wonderful thing that Liu Xiu can stop when he wins.


    Huang Chengyan suddenly said, "Xiuer, how many months have you been married to Yueying?"


    Liu xiudao: "yes, what''s wrong with my father-in-law?" Liu Xiu''s eyes showed a strange expression, because Huang Chengyan''s tone was very strange.


    Huang Chengyan said: "you and Yueying have been married for such a long time. You should seize the time to have children. Although you are young, since you are the leader of the party, you are more secure with children. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "don''t worry, my father-in-law. I will work hard."


    It was strange for Liu Xiu to say these words.


    Liu Xiu digs off the topic, and then asks about Pang''s and Huang''s shops, asking them to benefit the people as much as possible, so that the people can benefit from them.


    Towards noon, Mr. pound sent Huang Yueying and his mother to the mountain for dinner.


    In the afternoon, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying left lumen mountain and returned to Xiangyang.


    Back in Xiangyang, Liu Xiu began to formulate the policy of recuperation. Since he wanted to do it, he naturally wanted to do it well, so that the people could get benefits from it, so that the people could benefit.


    With Liu Xiu''s orders, Jingzhou counties began to respond quickly.


    For a time, Jingzhou postponed the war, showing the scene of Dazhi.


    In late July, the hot summer, although still steaming, but finally a little more cool. At this time, the harvest season has begun.


    In Jingzhou, there is a hot scene.


    The people reaped the grain, and they had a smile on their faces.


    At this time, the Yizhou mission had already entered the boundary of Xiangyang and came to the outside of Xiangyang City.

 Chapter 381

    At the gate of the city, Ling Bao arrived with the Yizhou mission. In addition to Fazheng, there were more than ten soldiers with Lingbao, all of whom were valiant. Standing at the gate of the city, Ling Bao looks at the city of Xiangyang and shakes her head.


    "Although Xiangyang City is prosperous and rich, compared with Chengdu, it is not tall and strong enough. I''m a city in Chengdu. One man is in charge of the pass and ten thousand people are not allowed to open it. It''s really majestic and magnificent. "


    "If you look at the moat, Xiangyang''s moat still can''t compare with Chengdu''s moat. Chengdu''s moat is wider and more turbulent, which is a real natural danger."


    Ling Bao complacent, said: "brother Xiaozhi, you see Xiangyang people, although one by one wearing silk, but the face clearly has a worried look. It seems that the people in Jingzhou are very worried about Cao Cao. "


    Fazheng''s mouth twitches gently, a look I don''t know you.


    Ling Bao felt very good about herself and continued: "compared with Yizhou, Jingzhou is in the fourth World War. It may be attacked by Cao thief and Jiangdong at any time, and it may overturn at any time. Looking back at Yizhou, surrounded by mountains, it''s really easy to defend but hard to attack."


    Fazheng finally couldn''t help it and said, "general Lingbao, not long ago, Liu Xiu defeated the 800, 000 troops of Cao thief. Today''s Jingzhou, I''m afraid no one dare to attack at will. In particular, Cao Cao lost so many troops that he could not recover for a while. "


    Ling Bao snorted and said: "filial piety straight, don''t want to grow other people''s ambition, destroy their prestige. Yizhou is rich and wild, with a wide range of excellent soldiers and generals. Not everyone dares to provoke me. "


    "Come on, into town."


    Ling Bao big sleeve a whisk, leading people to the city.


    When they arrived at the gate of the city, their identity was checked before they were able to enter the city.


    ¡­¡­


    The prefecture!


    Liu Xiu got the news that Ling Bao and his party had entered the city, with a smile in his eyes, but he didn''t pay any attention to it.


    Liu Zhang''s people are not afraid.


    Liu Xiu is only a piece of meat in his eyes.


    In the study, Liu is dealing with government affairs.


    "Dong! Dong


    Knock on the door, outside the room.


    Deng AI said: "young master, Yizhou envoy and his party have arrived at the hall and are waiting in the hall."


    Liu Xiugen didn''t put down his book and said, "tell them I''ll be there soon."


    "No!"


    Deng AI nodded and turned away.


    Liu Xiu sat in his study, but he still didn''t mean to get up.


    Deng AI came to the hall of the front yard. He looked at Lingbao and said, "general Lingbao, the governor of the state said that he will come soon. Please wait for a moment."


    Ling Bao en made a sound, with a smile on her face.


    But in Fazheng''s heart, suddenly there is a trace of banter. I''m afraid that Ling Bao is going to die.


    Last time, Fazheng talked with Liu Xiuchang and met Liu Xiu. If Liu Xiu really attached great importance to it, he would not let people wait, but now he let Ling Bao wait, obviously on purpose. It''s a pretext to say it''s coming soon.


    After half a ring, Liu Xiu still didn''t come.


    It seems that Liu Xiu has already known the purpose of Ling Bao''s visit to Xiangyang, so he wants to beat Ling Bao on purpose.


    Ling Bao was impatient. He looked at Deng AI sitting in the hall and asked, "little brother, go to urge Liu Jingzhou again. Even if he has something important to deal with, ask him to let go of what he is doing


    Deng AI shook his head and said, "general Lingbao, please forgive me. It''s only reported once. If I go too much, I will be punished. So please wait patiently. "


    In a word, it''s choking.


    Ling Bao hummed and sat in the hall waiting.


    A quarter of an hour later, there was still no sign of Liu Xiu outside the hall.


    Two quarters of an hour later, Liu Xiu still didn''t show up.


    Since Liu Bao didn''t want to leave, he said, "we can''t help it. Hum, Liu Jingzhou also said that Jingzhou is an ally of Yizhou. In my opinion, it''s better not to have such an ally. "


    "Hahaha, what allies don''t want it?"


    Liu Xiu''s laughter came from outside the gate. Liu Xiu dressed in royal clothes and strode in.


    Ling Bao''s eyes were not good and said, "is that how you treat your guests?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "you are general Lingbao. I don''t know how I treat you?" The language is neither humble nor overbearing, but also with a trace of smile.


    As the saying goes, Ling Bao is helpless.


    Ling Bao snorted and replied, "what''s the matter, Liu Jingzhou naturally knows."


    Liu Xiu sat down at the table and said, "general Lingbao, you have misunderstood. You really have misunderstood. I was in the backyard just now, because the civil and military officers and generals under my command discussed things, so I''m sorry for the delay. "When Deng AI heard the speech, he laughed in his heart.


    Today, an official came to see me. Now the young master said that he was in the discussion. He is really lying with his eyes open.


    Ling Bao didn''t want to lose her prestige and face. She asked, "what''s the matter Liu Jingzhou discussed with his officials? It took so long."


    In the face of Liu Xiu, Ling Bao felt a lot of pressure and asked again.


    Liu Xiu was silent for a moment and said, "in fact, it''s not a big deal. Because I defeated the 800000 troops under Cao Cao before, the generals under my command began to be complacent and arrogant, and wanted to fight again. "


    "They suggested that Liu Zhang in Yizhou was not a suitable ally."


    "Therefore, the plan to attack Yizhou was put forward."


    Liu Xiu said, "but I thought to myself, how can Jingzhou and Yizhou make an alliance to attack each other? He tried his best to stop the generals under his command. It is precisely because of this discussion that such a long time has been delayed. "


    Ling Bao looks surprised. Unexpectedly, what Liu Xiu discussed is such a thing.


    If Jingzhou really attacked Yizhou, it would be very troublesome.


    Ling Bao took a deep breath, and his pride suddenly disappeared, and his anger just disappeared. He tentatively asked: "dare to ask Liu Jingzhou, what''s the result of the discussion?"


    Liu Xiu a pair of helpless expression, said: "my official arbitrary a, suppressed the suggestion of sending troops."


    Ling Bao''s face, with a smile.


    Ling Bao arched his hand and said, "Liu Jingzhou is really a wise and wise leader. Jingzhou and Yizhou are allies. Naturally, they should keep watch and help each other instead of attacking each other."


    Fazheng sat down with a smile in his mouth and looked at Liu Xiu with a touch of admiration.


    The so-called attack on Yizhou was not believed by France.


    Liu Xiuzhi said this to frighten Ling Bao and make her obedient.


    Obviously, Liu Xiu did it easily.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and asked, "what''s the matter with general Lingbao''s mission to Xiangyang?"


    Lingbao zhengse way: "back to Liu Jingzhou, this time, there are two things."


    Liu xiudao: "I''d like to hear it in detail!"


    Ling Bao said with a smile: "the first thing is about the ownership of Nanyang County. In the past, Liu Jingzhou has given Nanyang to my Lord. Although Cao thief occupied Nanyang County before, now Cao thief retreats, Nanyang County still belongs to Yizhou. Therefore, I implore Liu Jingzhou to hand over Nanyang County and let the Lord send someone to accept it. "


    Liu Xiu had no expression and said, "what''s the second thing?"


    Ling Bao continued: "the second thing is actually related to Nanyang County. Zhang Ren is a general under the Lord. Unfortunately, Zhang Ren betrayed my Lord and now he doesn''t obey my Lord''s orders. Therefore, my Lord wants Liu Jingzhou to hand over Zhang Ren to my Lord. "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu, with a harmless smile on his face, was angry and disdainful.


    Little Liu Zhang, let him hand over Zhang Ren!


    What a joke!


    Fazheng sits aside to observe his words and looks. He sees that Liu Xiu''s facial expression has changed, especially Liu Xiu''s expression and eyes have become sharper. Fazheng knows that I''m afraid Liu Xiu is a little angry.


    This time, Ling Bao has to hit the wall.


    Liu Xiu took a deep breath and said, "general Lingbao, although I gave Nanyang County to Liu Yizhou at the beginning, Liu Yizhou was not only unable to defend but also defeated at the expense of his troops. If I give Nanyang County to him now, I can''t keep it. In the end, it was in vain. It''s better for me to guard Nanyang County. "


    The words changed Ling Bao''s face.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu turned his face and refused in a flash. Regardless of the treaty between the two sides, he didn''t give any room to turn around, and he said it so loudly and directly.

 Chapter 382

    Ling Bao said with a smile: "Liu Jingzhou, is it not willing to make an alliance with Yizhou?"


    Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent expression: "when did I say that I didn''t want to make an alliance with Yizhou? General Lingbao, you should be responsible. Jingzhou and Yizhou are good friends. I have long admired Liu Yizhou and have a long-standing friendship with him. When you say that, you are provoking the relationship between the two sides. If the relationship between Jingzhou and Yizhou breaks down, you are responsible for it. "


    Ling Bao''s face was serious, and there was a dignified look in her eyes.


    This Liu Xiu is too difficult.


    Ling Bao''s eyes fell on FA Zheng and nodded slightly, indicating that FA Zheng was persuading.


    Fazheng naturally wanted to put on a show. He said, "before Liu Jingzhou came, my Lord said that he would like to come here in person and want to meet with Liu Jingzhou face to face. But because there were too many things in Yizhou to get away from, general Lingbao had to be sent as a envoy to Xiangyang to negotiate. "


    "When I came here, my Lord said that Liu Jingzhou was a reasonable man, not a tyrant. Last time, I followed Zhang Ren to Xiangyang and talked with Liu Jingzhou. I also thought Liu Jingzhou was a man of courtesy and integrity. "


    "At the beginning of the alliance, Nanyang County was controlled by Yizhou."


    "Now, the army of Cao thieves has retreated. Nanyang County and Liu Jingzhou really should be handed over to Yizhou. Liu Jingzhou, I hope you can abide by the agreement. "


    Fazheng said slowly: "Liu Jingzhou, Cao thief is defeated this time, but he will surely lead the army south in the future. Therefore, it is of great help to Jingzhou that the army of Yizhou is in charge of Nanyang County. At least, Liu Jingzhou doesn''t need to spend his troops in Nanyang County. He can attack Jiangdong with all his strength. "


    Ling Bao nodded. Fazheng said this very well.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I think Mr. Xiaozhi''s words are reasonable. I agree with them very much."


    Ling Bao thought that the matter had come to an end and said with great joy: "in that case, please hand over Nanyang County to Liu Jingzhou as soon as possible. Our Lord has arranged for the officials to receive them immediately. "


    Liu xiudao: "general Lingbao, don''t be so anxious. I haven''t finished my words. What''s your hurry. Although I also want to hand over Nanyang County, there is a problem. "


    "What''s the problem?" Ling Bao asked.


    Fazheng narrowed his eyes and laughed at Ling Bao in his heart. Liu Xiu''s excuse was obvious. It was impossible to hand over Nanyang County.


    His words did not intend to persuade Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said: "Mr. Xiaozhi is quite right. Although the thief Cao has retreated for a while, he is not willing to fail and will make a comeback. Last time, Nanyang County was lost because of the unfavorable garrison of Yizhou army. Instead, I was stationed in Nanyang County for the time being. After thoroughly exterminating the Cao thief, I will return Nanyang County to Liu Yizhou. General Lingbao, what do you think? "


    Ling Bao said angrily, "Liu Xiu, you deceive people too much!"


    Liu xiudao: "do you have this official?"


    "You..."


    Ling Bao''s face turned red with anger, and her eyes were full of anger.


    Liu Xiu continued: "Ling Bao, what I said is the truth. Cao''s powerful army is far beyond Yizhou''s resistance. Nanyang County to Yizhou Army garrison, simply can not keep. Under such circumstances, it would be better for our army to be stationed in Nanyang County. "


    Ling Bao snorted, big sleeve flicked, then changed the topic, said: "Liu Jingzhou, the second thing in the future is to let you hand over Zhang Ren. If he betrays his Lord, he must be severely punished. "


    Liu Xiu asked, "general Lingbao, how did Zhang Ren betray?"


    After hearing this, Ling Bao was dumb.


    As a matter of fact, Zhang Ren was dismissed from office, which is not a betrayal.


    However, Ling Bao couldn''t admit it and replied, "Zhang Ren was a general under the Lord, but now he incites the soldiers of Nanyang County to betray him. Isn''t that right? "


    Liu Xiu shook his head with a puzzled look on his face and said, "general Lingbao, if you say that, I''m curious and even puzzled."


    Ling Bao asked, "why?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were sharp as a knife, and he said: "when I was in Nanyang County, I happened to be there. At that time, Deng Xian, with Liu Yizhou''s order, announced that Zhang Ren''s official post was removed and no longer employed. "


    "Then Deng Xian took over the army of Nanyang County."


    "At that time, Deng Xian was extremely quick. In the shortest time, he took over the military talisman, and then directly expelled Zhang Ren from Nanyang County, not allowing him to stay."


    "Zhang Ren had no choice but to stay in Jingzhou and work for him."


    "On the contrary, Deng Xian, after mastering the army of Nanyang County, chose to surrender to Cao Cao when Cao''s army was at the foot of the city, and eventually died."


    "Since Zhang Ren has been removed from office, it was Liu Yizhou who removed him personally. Then, I would like to ask, "why do you say betrayal?"


    Liu Xiu''s tone became more and more forceful. He said in a deep voice: "general Lingbao is a famous general in Yizhou. You should be able to understand what I said after reading poems and books. Is it betrayal for you to judge and talk about it? "Ling Bao smelled the words, and an embarrassed look appeared on her face.


    Before Zhang Ren was removed from office, Liu Xiu was the latter to recruit him. From the truth, there is no relationship with Zhang Ren, it is not betrayal.


    But when Liu Zhang heard that Zhang Ren worked for Liu Xiu, he persuaded the soldiers under Yizhou to surrender, and continued to take charge of Nanyang County. So Liu Zhang ordered that Zhang Ren should be brought back for disposal.


    Looking at Liu Xiu''s attitude, it is extremely difficult to bring back Zhang Ren.


    Ling Bao forced herself to calm down and said, "Liu Jingzhou, Zhang Ren is the one that the Lord ordered to take back. If you can''t take it back, it means the guild is disappointed. At that time, I''m afraid it will affect the alliance between Yizhou and Jingzhou. Is Liu Jingzhou willing to destroy the alliance relationship for the sake of a little Zhang Ren? "


    As soon as these words came out, Liu Xiu''s eyes suddenly flashed a trace of coldness.


    Alliance!


    It''s a joke.


    Fazheng''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu with a look of expectation. The question raised by Ling Bao just shows how Liu Xiu treated the demoted generals in Yizhou.


    This result is also what Fazheng is most concerned about.


    Because Fazheng and Zhang Song both have ideas in their hearts, so they can have a look.


    Liu Xiu looked serious and sat up straight.


    He gazed at Ling Bao in a gentle tone and said in a deep voice: "general Ling Bao, Zhang Ren was dismissed first and served for me later. It is nonsense to say that Zhang Ren betrayed Yizhou. It is even more impossible for me to hand over Zhang Ren. I deeply agree with what general Lingbao said just now. "


    Ling Bao asked, "what are you talking about?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "if Liu Yizhou wants to break up with Jingzhou for the sake of Zhang Ren, he will break up with Jingzhou. Well, I don''t care. "


    "The generals under my command, one by one, are worried that there is no place to fight."


    "If Yizhou is willing to have a try, I don''t mind going to war."


    Liu Xiu was murderous and said with disdain: "in Liu Zhang''s eyes, when Zhang Ren is useless, he can give up directly. When you want to kill, you want to kill. Who is he? Zhang Ren is the person who works for us. Liu Yizhou doesn''t take him as a person, but I know he is my right arm. "


    "General Lingbao, I want to ask, is Liu Yizhou ready for war?"


    Liu Xiu has a strong sense of war in his eyes.


    That momentum made Lingbao tremble. If Jingzhou and Yizhou went to war, Liu Zhang would be the first to rescue and kill him.


    Because Liu Zhang did not dare to fight.


    With a smile, Ling Bao said, "Liu Jingzhou is joking. It''s not necessary to be like this! It doesn''t have to be! Jingzhou and Yizhou are still allies. "


    Liu Xiu became more aggressive, and his eyes became sharper. He said in a deep voice: "if there is a war, I will order Zhang Ren to be the commander of the war. Zhang Ren was humiliated by Liu Zhang. I believe it will be a great pleasure for him to attack Yizhou as the chief General. Moreover, Zhang Ren''s familiarity with Yizhou is also an advantage. "


    Ling Bao''s mouth twitches and thinks things are in trouble.


    At this moment, Ling Bao''s heart was already trembling. She didn''t know how to answer.


    Fazheng sat down, his eyes fell on Liu Xiu, and his eyes showed admiration. In his heart, he felt that such a Lord was the real master!


    Compared with Liu Xiuyi, Liu Zhang is the master of fatuity.


    In particular, Liu Zhang was indifferent to his subordinates, and Liu Zhang never courted the virtuous corporal. Liu Xiu, on the other hand, did not hesitate to fight Liu Zhang for Zhang Ren. Isn''t such a monarch the one he looks forward to most?


    In Fazheng''s heart, there is a decision. The Lord is ahead. Why wait?

 Chapter 383

    Liu Xiu suddenly asked, "general Lingbao, what are you doing here?"


    In a word, it is full of dark psychology.


    The discussion about Nanyang County and Zhang Ren just now is the real purpose of Ling Bao. But now, Liu Xiu asked abruptly, and Ling Bao was stunned.


    Immediately, Ling Bao reacted. Liu Xiu did it on purpose.


    Ling Bao is stiff in the same place. For a moment, she doesn''t know how to answer.


    If he said he wanted Nanyang County and Zhang Ren, he would really force Liu Xiufa to attack Yizhou. Ling Bao can''t afford the result.


    However, if Ling Bao said that he had no purpose, he lost the purpose of his trip. After returning to Chengdu, Liu Zhang will definitely clean it up.


    No matter how she chooses, Ling Bao is in a dilemma.


    Fazheng praised in his heart. He is really a wise master!


    The more Liu Xiu was thick and black, the more Fazheng felt that Liu Xiu''s practice was correct. If you are too weak, you will be bullied; if you are too tough, you will be easily broken; if you are too simple, you will be cheated.


    Liu Xiu''s method is the combination of hardness and softness, and he is old and spicy. This is the most appropriate way to deal with it.


    Liu Xiu continued: "general Lingbao, if you come to Xiangyang, you just want to have a visit. I welcome you. If general Lingbao has another purpose, he wants to deal with Zhang Ren, and he wants to make Nanyang County doomed, I''m afraid he can''t accompany him. "


    Ling Bao smiles bitterly. Liu Xiu, this is a blatant threat.


    Ling Bao took a deep breath and said, "Liu Jingzhou, I came to Xiangyang this time to seek advice from Liu Jingzhou for my Lord. Liu Jingzhou defeated Cao Cao''s 800000 troops with 30000 troops. It''s such a big win, it''s very exciting. "


    Liu Xiu was so strong that Ling Bao couldn''t compete with him, so he never mentioned his previous purpose.


    Want to take back Nanyang County, want to take Zhang Ren, certainly impossible.


    Back in Chengdu, explain to Liu Zhang.


    Liu Xiu laughed as if the spring breeze was blowing on his face, and his tone was very soft. He said with a straight face, "general Lingbao, Liu Yizhou is praising you. The reason why I was able to defeat the Cao thief was due to luck. "


    In a word, it summarizes the event of the first war with Cao Cao.


    Sitting in the hall, Ling Bao felt uncomfortable and said, "Liu Jingzhou and Yizhou still have something to deal with. I''m going to leave now."


    Liu Xiu urged him to stay and said, "when general Lingbao first came to Xiangyang, how could he not give me a chance to accept the wind and wash the dust? General Lingbao, let''s go back and have a rest. This evening, I''ll hold a banquet in my house to help the general clean up the dust. How are you


    Ling Bao said: "Liu Jingzhou, Yizhou, there are many more..."


    As soon as he opened his mouth, Liu Xiu interrupted, "general Lingbao, don''t you give me face?"


    Ling Bao''s mouth twitched. She couldn''t help scolding her mother. She wanted to turn her face on the spot. He didn''t provoke Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu forced him. However, due to Liu Xiu''s influence, Ling Bao sighed in her heart and nodded: "thank you for the hospitality of Liu Jingzhou. Tonight, be sure to be on time for the party. "


    "Goodbye!"


    Ling Bao got up and turned to leave.


    FA is bowing to Liu Xiu and following Ling Bao to leave.


    Back to the post house, after they sat down, Ling Bao''s face could no longer hide his anger and said, "Xiaozhi, Liu Xiu deceives people too much. He really thinks that Yizhou is afraid of him?"


    Fazheng thought, in fact, isn''t it just fear?


    However, Fazheng didn''t say so, saying: "general, Liu Xiu has bitten to death. Liu Xiu, in particular, seems to be prejudiced against generals. Now it''s very difficult to persuade Liu Xiu to hand over Zhang Ren. "


    "However, if we give up Nanyang County and Zhang Ren, it will be difficult for us to make a deal when we go back."


    "At that time in the prefecture, I hardly spoke, just for fear that Liu Xiu would not feel well. Now, in my personal capacity, I''ll visit Liu Xiu again to see if I can let him go. "


    Fazheng said: "after all, I have been to Xiangyang with Zhang Ren before. I hope Liu Xiu can give way to Zhang Ren''s face and make it easy for us to get back to Chengdu. "


    I was deeply moved by the sound.


    It turns out that Fazheng still hasn''t given up. It''s really admirable.


    Lingbao said: "Xiaozhi, please."


    Fazheng said: "I can only do my best and listen to the destiny. Whether it''s successful or not, you always have to have a try. General, you have a rest in the post house. I''m going to visit Liu Xiu. "


    "Yes


    Ling Bao was grateful and watched FA leave.


    After leaving the post house, Fazheng took a carriage to the prefecture. After Fazheng reported his name, the soldiers went to report it. Soon, Liu Xiu came out to meet him.


    Seeing this, Fazheng was deeply moved. This is the model of courteous and virtuous corporal.


    Liu xiudao: "Xiaozhi, please!"


    Fazheng waved his hand and said, "Liu Jingzhou, please!"


    Two people go hand in hand, went directly to the study.


    Please take your seat!With a soft smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "is it a business or a private matter for Xiaozhi to come alone? Is it for Nanyang County and Zhang Ren?"


    Although Liu Xiu knew that Fazheng and Zhang song had a mind for Jingzhou.


    But it has not been broken and Fazheng has not been reconciled.


    Liu Xiu''s first words were to explore and see Fazheng''s mind.


    Fazheng shook his head and said: "Liu Jingzhou misunderstood that Lingbao was the envoy of the mission when he was sent to Xiangyang. I just helped him. If Ling Bao is not here, he will not talk about business. "


    In a word, Fazheng has clarified his position.


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "what''s the matter with Xiaozhi''s visit?"


    FA Zhengdao: "to seek the bright Lord."


    In a word, Fazheng''s point to the point is clear.


    Liu Xiu asked, "in the eyes of Xiaozhi, what kind of people are the masters of Ming Dynasty?"


    Fazheng''s eyes were sharp, and he said in a loud voice: "a wise lord should have the ambition to sweep the world. He should be able to endure what ordinary people can''t bear and do what ordinary people can''t do. They can be courteous, discern right from wrong, distinguish loyalty from treachery, and understand people''s good duties. "


    Liu Xiu asked, "what do Xiaozhi think of the official''s ambition?"


    Fazheng did not answer, but asked: "what is Liu Jingzhou''s ambition?"


    Liu Xiu said: "go on to the sage''s unique learning, and open the peace of the world!"


    In a word, Fazheng was surprised.


    Such an answer is far more grand than the so-called sweeping the world. The more scholars like Fazheng, the more they want to make contributions, to be famous in history and to be immortal.


    Liu Xiu has the ability. The more ambitious he is, the more he can resonate with Fazheng.


    Just like Liu Bei, when he is with celebrities, he always wants to reiterate that his goal is to revitalize the Han Dynasty.


    Virtually, it makes people feel that this person is ambitious.


    FA Zheng looked at Liu Xiu with a look of admiration on his face. He arched his hand and said, "Liu Jingzhou''s lofty ambition and broad mind are heartbreaking."


    Liu Xiu also said, "does Xiaozhi think that this official can tolerate what ordinary people can''t?"


    FA Zheng replied, "Liu Jingzhou is a hero of the time. He can endure what ordinary people can''t bear and do what ordinary people can''t do."


    Liu xiudao said: "Xiaozhi thinks that this official can be called the master of Ming Dynasty?"


    FA Zheng arched his hand and said, "Liu Jingzhou has great ambition and far-reaching ambition. He is the master of Ming Dynasty."


    Liu Xiu stopped beating around the Bush and threw out the olive branch directly. He took the initiative to say, "Xiaozhi has outstanding talent. Following Liu Zhang is really inferior. Liu Zhang was weak in character and modest in ability. If he lived in peace and prosperity, he could still enjoy peace. But in troubled times, although Liu Zhang was generous, in troubled times, he was generous. That''s just a commonplace and elegant saying. "


    Liu Xiu sincere tone, said: "filial piety straight talent, follow Liu Zhang, is the Pearl of dust.". A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good minister chooses his master. Is Xiaozhi willing to serve as our official


    The expression on FA Zheng''s face was very serious. He got up and arched his hand and said, "Zheng, I''d like to meet you."


    In a word, it established the status of monarch and minister.


    Liu Xiu also got up, went to Fazheng''s body, held up Fazheng with both hands, and said: "Xiaozhi helps our official, and our official is like a tiger. In the future, I will have another think tank around me. "


    FA Zhengdao: "Lord, I''m not the only one. Don''t drive Zhang Song in Yizhou. I admire him very much. When I return to Chengdu next time, I will help my Lord to persuade him, and I will certainly let Zhang Song return. "


    Liu xiudao: "hard filial straight."


    "It is the duty of the law to serve the Lord. Sooner or later, the Lord plans Yizhou. But now only Xia and Zhang Song are not enough. Therefore, I suggest that the relationship between the Lord and his humble position should not be disclosed for the time being. Please give me some time. I will certainly attract more people for you. "


    Liu Xiu said with great joy: "in this way, it''s even harder to be filial."


    FA Zhengdao said, "it''s not hard to work for the great cause of the Lord."


    They plan in their study. In the evening, Fazheng goes back to the post house, and then tells Lingbao that he has not succeeded in persuading. Ling Bao had already speculated that it would be difficult to succeed, but she was not too disappointed.


    At night, Liu Xiu hosted a banquet for Fazheng and Lingbao.


    A banquet is a feast for both the guests and the host.


    The next morning, with Fazheng, Ling Bao left Xiangyang in a hurry and went back to Yizhou.

 Chapter 384

    It was a big surprise for Liu Xiu that Fazheng''s effect and Fazheng''s willingness to lurk in Yizhou.


    With Fazheng as an internal agent, it will be much easier to attack Yizhou in the future.


    After Fazheng left, Liu Xiu continued to deal with government affairs.


    During this period, the news of Xu county was sent back.


    When Cao Cao returned to Xuxian County, the news of the defeat came out, and the court was shocked. Many officials impeached Cao Cao one after another to make him responsible for the loss of the army. More officials asked him to resign and plead guilty.


    For a time, the whole Xu county was full of ups and downs.


    When the officials of the court were in a fierce situation, Cao Cao offered a butcher''s knife.


    Cao Cao directly suppressed the officials who disturbed the court, found various reasons, arrested and killed a number of them.


    The whole Xu county is a river of blood.


    Then the noisy court hall quieted down.


    Only Ma Teng and Han Sui in the northwest, Gongsun Du in the east of Liaoning, and Wu Huan, who had been beaten down, were ready to move. Even Xuzhou and Youzhou were in trouble.


    Cao Cao had to concentrate on dealing with civil strife.


    Into August, the weather is still hot, but much cooler.


    In the study, Liu Xiu is checking the news from Nanyang County and Wuling County, all about government affairs.


    Wei Yan presided over Nanyang County, with Jingzhou as the backing. In a short period of time, he cleared up the backlog of cases and straightened out the atmosphere. He also ran all the counties under the jurisdiction of Nanyang County and thoroughly understood the situation of Nanyang County.


    In order to solve the problem of shortage of troops, Wei Yan established a militia system in Nanyang County. He selected strong men from a part of the people and cultivated them on weekdays. In case of war, these men took on the heavy responsibility of resistance.


    Liu Xiu read the news and agreed with Wei Yan''s treatment.


    Nanyang County is different from Xiangyang County and Changsha County. Nanyang County is located on the border and often has wars. Organizing militia resistance is conducive to the defense of Nanyang County.


    Compared with Nanyang County, Wuling county achieved great governance under the governance of Kuai Yue.


    With the attachment of wuximan, the rest of the people of all nationalities in the mountain also went out of the mountain forest to cultivate and settle down. For a time, the population of Wuling county increased greatly, and countless barbarians began to integrate into the Han people.


    Population alone is the greatest achievement.


    Liu Xiu looked at the news from all the counties, with a bright smile on his face.


    "Dong! Dong


    All of a sudden, a knock came to mind outside the room.


    Then came Deng AI''s flustered voice: "childe, it''s not good. My wife suddenly retches and is dizzy and weak."


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he put down his bamboo slips, opened the door in a hurry, and went straight to Huang Yueying''s yard. As he walked along, Liu Xiu asked, "Xiao AI, what did Yueying eat today?"


    Deng AI thought about it and said, "I didn''t eat anything special. My diet is the same as usual."


    Liu Xiumei frowned and was very nervous.


    He trotted directly, and soon came to the yard and entered Huang Yueying''s room. At this time, the doctor is for Huang Yueying diagnosis and treatment, and Huang Yueying''s face, there is a trace of pale.


    Liu Xiu saw the doctor feeling his pulse. Although he was anxious, he could only wait slowly.


    After half a sound, the doctor stopped feeling his pulse.


    Liu Xiu asked: "doctor, how about Yueying?"


    The doctor stood up, with no worry on his face, but a happy expression on his face, and said: "Mr. Zhou mu, it''s a good thing that the mother''s health is all right. The mother is pregnant. From now on, we should start to raise the baby. I''ll prepare some medicine to relieve the pregnancy and take care of my mother. I don''t need anything else. "


    With a happy look on his face, Liu Xiu said, "Xiao AI, you and the doctor should go to get the medicine."


    "No!"


    Deng AI nodded and left with the doctor.


    Liu Xiu waved the people in the room back, and then said, "Yueying, how do you feel now?"


    "It''s OK. I''m fine."


    In Huang Yueying''s eyes, there was a look of joy. She reached out to touch her still flat stomach, and her face was shining with the light of a loving mother. That expression, already is indescribable.


    Liu Xiu sat beside Huang Yueying and was very happy.


    Huang Yueying suddenly asked, "third brother, if you are a girl, would you not like it?"


    "Er..."


    Liu Xiu didn''t expect Huang Yueying''s thinking to jump so fast. He thought about the problem of men and women.


    Liu Xiu said with a light smile: "silly girl, both men and women are the same. They are all my Liu Xiu''s children."


    Liu Xiu''s words helped Huang Yueying settle down a lot. But in her heart, she still hopes to have a son. In this era, the most orthodox idea is to inherit one''s family, and Huang Yueying is no exception.


    Two people talk, and Huang Yueying pregnant news, also quickly spread.


    The civil and military officials in Jingzhou were also delighted.


    Liu Xiu has children, which means that the next generation of Jingzhou has successors, which is also the basis of stability in Jingzhou.Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong got the news and came to the house at the first time.


    Both of them are very happy to see Huang Yueying.


    The expression was beyond description.


    Huang Yueying''s mother simply lives in the house. After all, she is a passer-by. She knows what to pay attention to and what to consider. Liu Xiu has no opinion, just let his mother-in-law arrange it.


    In the study, Huang Chengyan, Pang Degong and Liu Xiu were seated.


    Huang Chengyan stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "Xiuer, it''s good to have children now."


    Pound is fair: "if it''s a son, it''s the best."


    Liu Xiu was embarrassed by their words.


    These two old gentlemen are very concerned.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "let it be. It''s the same for men and women. As long as Yueying is safe and the child is healthy, everything will be fine. " As soon as the words changed, Liu xiudao said, "teacher, father-in-law, what''s the latest news about tuntian?"


    Pound said: "everything is going on in an orderly way. According to the news from Pang''s shop, every county is in full swing to reclaim farmland. In addition, the farm tools provided by Pang and Huang families are also being used wantonly. "


    Huang Chengyan took the words and said, "this year, we have reclaimed countless farmland. Next year, we will have a good harvest."


    Liu Xiu was relieved when he heard the news.


    After the three discussed the matter, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan left. However, they didn''t go back to lumen mountain. Instead, they stayed in the city temporarily and didn''t plan to leave Xiangyang City at all.


    As soon as Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan left, Deng AI came back.


    Deng AI entered the room and reported: "young master, there is an old man named Zhang Zhongjing outside the house who asked to see him."


    "Come on, please!"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were full of surprise.


    Zhang Zhongjing is here!


    That''s great.


    Deng AI turned around and was about to go to inform Liu Xiu, but he said, "no, I''ll meet him myself."


    Liu Xiu stood up, went out of the study and went straight to the gate.


    After Liu Xiu''s death, Deng AI was extremely surprised and thought, "who is Zhang Zhongjing in the end? He deserves to be welcomed by the young master himself."


    You know, after Liu Xiu defeated Cao Cao''s 800000 troops, his prestige was at its best.


    It''s not easy to see Liu Xiu.


    Besides, it was Liu Xiu who welcomed him personally.


    Liu Xiu came to the gate and saw Zhang Zhongjing again, with a strong smile on his face. Zhang Zhongjing is as ruddy and vigorous as he was last year.


    Liu Xiu, with a modest face, arched his hand and said, "Mr. Zhongjing, you are very polite."


    Zhang Zhongjing immediately returned the salute and said, "I''ll see Liu Jingzhou."


    Liu xiudao: "Mr. Zhongjing, please."


    "Thank you, Liu Jingzhou."


    Zhang Zhongjing followed Liu Xiu to the hall. When he saw Liu Xiu''s attitude towards him, he felt at ease.


    Last year, when he met Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu was very modest.


    Now, goodbye to Liu Xiu, too.


    As ever!


    With a smile on his old face, Zhang Zhongjing entered the hall and sat down.


    Liu Xiu asked on his own initiative, "Mr. Zhong Jing has come to see me. What can I do for you?"


    Mentioned this matter, Zhang Zhongjing''s old face, showing a look of embarrassment. Zhang Zhongjing took a deep breath and said, "Liu Jingzhou, I''ve come to visit you this time. To tell you the truth, I''m looking for something from Liu Jingzhou."


    Zhang Zhongjing has always been a low-key man.


    Now that he is in trouble, he has to ask Liu Xiu for help.


    Liu Xiu smiles a little and says with a straight face: "Mr. Zhong Jing has encountered a difficult problem, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse. "


    For Liu Xiu, he admired Zhang Zhongjing''s medical ethics and personality. Not to mention, Zhang Zhongjing once helped him. When Zhang Zhongjing met with difficulties, Liu Xiuyi refused to resign.

 Chapter 385

    Zhang Zhongjing sighed and said, "this is what happened. Zhang Xu, a child, had been the hometown of nieyang county and served as the magistrate of nieyang county. After Cao Cao''s defeat, Zhang Xu resigned as county magistrate and went south to Xiangyang. "


    "Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in Xiangyang, he met an acquaintance who had been in nieyang county."


    "Moreover, this acquaintance has a grudge against Zhang Xu."


    "The man went directly to the county government and reported that Zhang Xu was Cao Cao''s man. As a result, he was arrested by Xiangyang County Magistrate. Lao Jiu can be sure that he is by no means Cao Cao''s spy, but after interrogation by the county government, he thinks that Zhang Xu, even if he is not, was once Cao Cao''s man and can''t get rid of the suspicion. He plans to detain him temporarily, observe for a period of time, and then decide whether to release him or not. "


    Zhang Zhongjing said: "Liu Jingzhou, Xiao''er is by no means Cao Cao''s spy. This time he came to Xiangyang, he also wanted to see the situation of Xiangyang and planned to find a job in Xiangyang. So please let Liu Jingzhou go and let the baby go. "


    Liu Xiu said on his face, "Mr. Zhongjing, don''t worry. I''ll arrange it right away."


    "Ai!"


    Liu Xiu called, and Deng AI came in from outside the hall.


    "Young master!"


    Deng AI bowed himself.


    Liu Xiu said, "go and call Deng Zhan."


    "No!"


    Deng AI got the order, turned around and stepped down.


    Not long after, Deng Zhan came to the hall and saluted.


    Liu Xiushu wrote an order to Deng Zhan and said, "go to Xiangyang County Yamen and bring out a man named Zhang Xu. If Xiangyang County Magistrate said that he didn''t find out Zhang Xu''s identity, he would say that Zhang Xu was asked to resign from nieyang county and come to Xiangyang. "


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan is curious about what happened to Liu Xiu.


    You know, Liu Xiu seldom directly intervenes in the following matters.


    However, without asking, Deng Zhan left with his handwriting.


    Zhang Zhongjing, with a grateful look on his face, reported: "thank you, Liu Jingzhou."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "little things are not worth mentioning."


    They were chatting. Most of the time, Liu Xiu was asking and Zhang Zhongjing was answering. For example, where did Zhang Zhongjing go this year? How is the writing of medical books?


    Two quarters of an hour later, Deng Zhan came in with a scholarly and elegant middle-aged man.


    The middle-aged man is in his early thirties, Zhang Xu, the son of Zhang Zhongjing.


    When Zhang Xu saw his old father and Liu Xiu, he suddenly understood the reason for his escape. In addition, on the way to the prison, Deng zhanzeng gave some advice. He knew that he could get out of prison safely this time only with the help of his old father. It was his old father who asked Liu Jingzhou for help that saved him from being detained.


    Zhang Xu went to the hall, arched his hand and said: "nieyang, Zhang Xu, meet Zhou mu."


    Liu xiudao: "Mr. Zhang, because Jingzhou is hostile to Cao Jun, the investigation in Xiangyang City is quite strict. However, if the identity is unknown and the investigation is not clear, he will be detained temporarily and released after the investigation. So when Mr. Zhang came to Xiangyang, he was arrested by the county government. Please forgive me for wronging Mr. Zhang. "


    Zhang Xu didn''t expect Liu Xiu to be so modest and excited.


    Zhang Xulian said hastily: "in the extraordinary period, it is necessary to strictly investigate and deal with it. In fact, it is only when I have not dealt with my own affairs well that such a situation will appear."


    After a pause, Zhang Xu said: "strictness has its advantages. Although the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, it will affect the rest of the people who come to Liu Jingzhou. If anyone who enters Jingzhou has to make an investigation, then some other sages who want to go to Liu Jingzhou may have an impact. "


    Liu Xiu''s eyes expressed surprise.


    At present, Xiangyang City is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and its inventory is very strict.


    Zhang Xu''s suggestion is also very reasonable.


    Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and said in a deep voice, "Deng Zhan, have you heard Mr. Zhang''s words clearly?"


    "I understand!"


    Deng Zhan nodded and agreed with Zhang Xu.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "go to the county government again and let it know. The investigation should be carried out, but there is no need to be so nervous and grasp this degree. "


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan nodded, turned and left.


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Xu and said, "do you have any plans for Mr. Zhang''s coming to Xiangyang this time?"


    Zhang Xu zhengse said: "I heard that Liu Jingzhou is in charge of Jingzhou, which has already led to the rule of Jingzhou. Especially, Liu Jingzhou defeated Prime Minister Cao''s 800000 troops with 30000 troops, which is even more curious. So I''d like to take a look at Liu Jingzhou''s brilliant magic power. At first sight today, Liu Jingzhou is really a good person, worthy of the name and admirable. "


    Liu Xiu chuckled twice and said, "Mr. Zhang has been praised falsely. I don''t know if Mr. Zhang is willing to become an official in Jingzhou?"


    Zhang Xu himself had this idea and said directly, "it''s exactly what he meant."


    At this time, Zhang Xu''s heart, quite excited. His original intention was to become an official in Jingzhou, but Liu Xiu took the initiative to come up with it, which is undoubtedly the best result.Liu Xiu continued: "since this is the case, I still need a document. Is Mr. Zhang willing to give in?"


    "Yes!"


    Zhang Xu''s face showed a smile.


    At this time, Zhang Zhongjing stood aside, feeling rather guilty.


    At the beginning, he just helped Liu Xiu to diagnose and treat Liu Biao''s illness. He didn''t have much friendship with Liu Xiu. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu helped so much. Liu Xiu gave Zhang Xu the official position because of his face.


    Liu Xiu looked at Deng AI and said, "Xiao AI, take Mr. Zhang to find Yi Ji and ask him to go through the formalities for Mr. Zhang."


    "No!"


    Deng AI waved his hand and went down with Zhang Xu.


    Zhang Zhongjing once again said, "Liu Jingzhou is very kind and grateful."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Mr. Zhongjing''s contribution to saving the dead and supporting the living is boundless. My help is insignificant. Moreover, since Mr. Zhang once served as the magistrate of a county in nieyang County, he must be talented. Jingzhou needs talents, Mr. Zhang has talent, we can hit it off at once, so Mr. Zhong has nothing to be grateful for. "


    In spite of that, Zhang Zhongjing is still very grateful.


    Liu Xiu asked, "Mr. Zhong Jing, what are your plans next?"


    Zhang Zhongjing replied, "I''m going to take a walk in Wuling county. I heard that wuximan in Wuling county is out of the mountains. I want to take a look at this situation. Moreover, wuximan lives in the mountains all the year round. There are many prescriptions. You can also go to see them. "


    Liu xiudao said, "what is the purpose of Zhongjing''s traveling around to save lives and heal the wounded?"


    Zhang Zhongjing said: "since they are medical students, naturally they have only one purpose, that is, to enable more patients to be free from diseases and to enable more people to live a disease-free and painless life."


    Liu Xiu had a smile in his eyes, waiting for Zhang Zhongjing''s words.


    This time, Zhang Zhongjing must stay.


    Liu Xiu smile, said: "so far, Zhongjing recognized as done not?"


    Zhang Zhongjing sighed and said: "when people are powerful and poor, there is only one old man. He can only do his best to be worthy of his heart. As for others, I dare not boast. "


    Liu Xiu said: "Mr. Zhongjing''s medical ethics are unparalleled and admirable."


    Zhang Zhongjing was modest and shook his head.


    Today is a troubled time, there are countless people died of war, there are countless people died of disease, but he can do nothing, after all, only one person. Therefore, Zhang Zhongjing can only do his little, he is also a burst of helplessness.


    The most unusual thing for doctors, especially those like Zhang Zhongjing, is that some patients can''t be cured.


    Liu Xiu leaned forward slightly and said, "Mr. Zhong Jing, I have a suggestion, or an idea, that can help you treat patients to the maximum extent. If it is done, I believe that the number of patients in the world will certainly decrease a lot. Many people who are ill and can''t be cured will also be free from disease. "


    After hearing this, Zhang Zhongjing turned his mind.


    Although he thought it was a good thing for Liu Xiu to help him, Zhang Zhongjing met many people, whether direct or euphemistic, who wanted to attract him, and they wanted to attract him under various names.


    Maybe Liu Xiu is the same.


    Zhang Zhongjing knew this, but thought of Zhang Xu under Liu Xiu''s command, he sighed in his heart.


    What a sin my son made!


    If it wasn''t for Zhang Xu, he would not be an official in any case. Now Zhang Xu is under Liu Xiu''s command, then Zhang Zhongjing uses Liu Xiu''s human feelings.


    It''s not easy to refuse again.


    Zhang Zhongjing forced a smile on his face and said, "what can Liu Jingzhou do? I''m all ears. "


    Liu Xiu saw Zhang Zhongjing''s expression and knew that Zhang Zhongjing didn''t want to be an official. But Liu Xiu believes that as long as Liu Xiu says his plan, Zhang Zhongjing will agree, and he is convinced.

 Chapter 386

    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Zhong Jinggong is always alone in treating patients. At most, he has a few more disciples around him. But there will always be a time for disciples to leave. In the final analysis, Mr. Zhong Jing is still treating patients by himself. "


    "Yes


    Zhang Zhongjing replied with a look of expectation in his eyes.


    There is no other reason. Liu Xiu didn''t recruit him first and then consider other words, but he said something else.


    Liu Xiu continued: "since ancient times, students have studied in academies. Such as Yingchuan academy and lumen academy, why can''t they have hospitals when they come to doctors? "


    "Hospital?"


    There is a clue in Zhang Zhongjing''s mind, but it is still a blur.


    In any case, Zhang Zhongjing''s heart was hanged.


    Zhang Zhongjing said, "Liu Jingzhou, please continue."


    Liu Xiu continued: "the role of the Academy lies in teaching and educating people; the role of the hospital lies in treating and saving people. In hospitals, doctors can be recruited to treat people''s diseases. "


    Zhang Zhongjing suddenly said, "what Liu Jingzhou means is to set up a Taiyi order under the imperial court."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "similar, but very different."


    "First, the scope is different. Hospitals in Jingzhou are not only in Xiangyang, but also in every county and county of Jingzhou in the future. The hospital I want to build is a place that can cover the whole of Jingzhou, so that all the people can be treated after they get sick. "


    "Second, the costs are different. Ordinary people have a cold brain heat, dare not see a doctor to take medicine, because look down on the disease. But all hospitals in Jingzhou must have the lowest price. This needs to be priced by professional doctors. "


    "Third, different positions. Doctors in all hospitals are officials in Jingzhou. I can ensure it, but doctors in hospitals can also enjoy the treatment of officials. "


    Liu Xiu''s eyes twinkled with a fiery look, and he continued: "Mr. Zhong Jing, just think about it. If every county can set up a hospital, will the people in Jingzhou still be unable to treat because of illness? It''s easier for a hospital like this to run around than for you alone. It is easy to cure one person, but difficult to cure ten thousand. But hospitals are where millions of people are treated. "


    "Hoo! Hoo


    After hearing this, Zhang Zhongjing began to breathe quickly.


    This is a bold idea.


    In fact, only Liu Xiu, who has such a high position and is in charge of one side, can make this step.


    Zhang Zhongjing''s heart has moved. He has put aside the human feelings in his mind, thinking about how to build a hospital and how to benefit more people.


    Zhang Zhongjing said: "Liu Jingzhou, to build a hospital, I''m afraid it will cost a lot of financial and material resources."


    Liu Xiuse said: "in order to benefit the people, so that the people can really not be affected by the disease, we must do so. As for the financial and material resources needed, the prefecture will give full support. And I believe that as long as the hospital operates normally, it will be able to turn losses into profits and support the development and expansion of the hospital. "


    Zhang Zhongjing said: "a hospital needs a lot of human and material resources, and it takes a long time to set up. Liu Jingzhou, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight. "


    Liu xiudao: "zhongjinggong, if there are difficulties ahead, will things not be done?"


    After hearing this, Zhang Zhongjing looked excited in his eyes.


    Liu Xiu''s ambition showed him the opportunity to extend medicine and protect the people from diseases.


    Zhang Zhongjing stood up, arched his hand and said, "I''m willing to work for Liu Jingzhou. Lao Jiu, the doctor of the world, thanks to Liu Jingzhou. Old man, thank Liu Jingzhou for all the people who are suffering from diseases. "


    Liu Xiu got up, helped Zhang Zhongjing up and said, "Mr. Zhongjing, you''re killing me. Jingzhou people are all under my rule. It''s my duty to benefit the people. "


    They looked at each other with a smile and sat down again.


    Zhang Zhongjing leaned forward slightly with a look of asking for advice and said, "Liu Jingzhou, it''s not a matter of time to build a hospital. Ordinary medical school, I know. But the hospital is so big that it is impossible to benefit countless people. So how should the hospital conceived by Liu Jingzhou be established? I don''t know much about that. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Mr. Zhong Jing, you give me three days. Three days later, I will give you a dynamic framework and process of the hospital. Then, Mr. Zhong Jing will build the hospital step by step according to this framework and process. After the success of Xiangyang hospital, next, to the county hospital promotion. After the success of the hospitals in each county, the backbone of the hospitals will be selected and promoted to each county in each county. "


    Hearing this, Zhang Zhongjing felt reliable and nodded: "this is the most reasonable arrangement."


    Originally, Zhang Zhongjing was worried, but his heart relaxed.


    Liu Xiu asked, "is there a place for Zhong Jinggong to settle down in Xiangyang?"


    Zhang Zhongjing shook his head and said, "not for the time being."


    Liu xiudao: "in that case, I will live in the prefecture for the time being. We''ll talk about the hospital in three days. However, in these three days, Mr. Zhong Jing can recruit more doctors and apprentices by virtue of your contacts. In this way, it is also of great benefit to the establishment of the hospital. "Zhang Zhongjing agreed. Under the guidance of the attendant, he went to the back yard to have a rest.


    Liu Xiu went back to his study and thought about the structure of the hospital.


    For the hospital, Liu Xiu is not very clear, but the general framework of the hospital, such as the various departments of the hospital, such as the overall structure of the hospital, Liu Xiu is clear. With the help of later hospital framework, he constantly adjusted. In addition, for the most critical relief of money bag, Liu Xiu separately assigned it to be managed by the government directly to avoid problems.


    "Dong! Dong


    Knock on the door, think of outside the room.


    Deng zhanchen reported: "Lord, I have something to report."


    "Come in!"


    Liu Xiu put down his brush and sat down to wait.


    After Deng Zhan came in, he gave a salute and said: "Lord, about Zhang Xu''s identity, he transferred the files of the royal guards. After thorough investigation, he found that the magistrate of nieyang county was Zhang Xu. He really resigned on his own initiative. Before that, Zhang''s name was unknown, there was nothing special about it, and it had nothing to do with Cao''s officials. It can be concluded that Zhang Xu is not a spy sent by Cao Cao. However, I will further inquire into Zhang Xu''s news. "


    Liu xiudao: "you have done this very well."


    "Thank you for your praise. The royal guards will make persistent efforts."


    Deng Zhan was very excited.


    There is no doubt that Liu Xiu''s praise is the driving force of the royal guards and also proves the value of the royal guards.


    After Deng Zhan left, Liu Xiu devoted himself to writing.


    For three days, Liu Xiu''s energy was concentrated on the hospital, except for his daily government affairs.


    The hospital construction written by Liu Xiu includes the logo of the hospital, the floor area of the hospital and the future development. The big frame and the small details are clearly recorded.


    On this day, Deng AI came to the study and reported: "young master, Zhang Zhongjing asked to see you. He said that he invited doctors from Xiangyang and even the surrounding areas, and even Zhang Zhongjing''s disciples. "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu said: "Zhang Zhongjing is a famous doctor. His prestige in the medical field is unparalleled. Next, with the publicity of Zhang Zhongjing and the establishment of the hospital, more doctors will gather in Jingzhou. "


    Deng AI said: "childe, it''s a good thing to set up a hospital to save the dying and heal the wounded, but it will consume a lot of financial and material resources to set up a hospital. Is it worth it?"


    "There are some things that we have to do," Liu said. In the long run, this is a long-term plan. It doesn''t matter if you don''t understand. I''ll understand later. "


    Deng AI nodded knowingly, and he stopped interrupting.


    Liu Xiu stood up, took the written outline and took Deng AI to the hall.

 Chapter 387

    In the hall stood twenty or thirty people.


    In the wide and quiet hall, there are constant voices and people talking.


    Most people are 40 or 50 years old.


    There are a very small number of people who have already turned grey and have already passed their prime of life. However, these people are hale and hearty, and their eyes are shining. They don''t look like old people who have passed their prime of life.


    "Mr. Zhong Jinggong, although the establishment of the hospital is a good thing, I am worried that Liu Jingzhou is hot headed. Once you have started, it will be difficult to retreat suddenly when you encounter difficulties. "


    "If we give up halfway, can we old guys give up?"


    "Liu Jingzhou is forward-looking in seeking profits for the people. However, I''m also worried that it''s easy at the beginning and there''s a lack of persistence behind. Many of the people present have their own hospitals. Now we give up the hospital to set up a hospital. Once the hospital goes wrong, it will be our own signboard. "


    "Although there are risks, if this is successful, we must be a pioneering group of doctors. Although the process may be difficult, it''s worth a try. "


    One after another, they spoke, or looked forward to the good, or worried.


    These people are all famous doctors in Jingzhou.


    I came here because of Zhang Zhongjing''s call. Because Zhang Zhongjing''s prestige and medical skills are enough to make them believe, so he came.


    Zhang Zhongjing looked at people of his own age and said, "please relax and give Liu Jingzhou more trust. With the help of Liu Jingzhou, everything is not a problem. Don''t you believe in Liu Jingzhou? "


    When Liu Xiu was mentioned, everyone in the hall nodded again and again.


    Liu Xiu is young, but he is really outstanding.


    The crowd was waiting in the hall. Not long after, outside the hall, a rush of footsteps came from far and near. Liu Xiushen, dressed in a white robe with a jade belt around his waist, comes with a magnificent appearance.


    Entering the hall, Liu Xiu said with a smile, "you are welcome. Please sit down."


    Please take your seat!


    Zhang Zhongjing couldn''t wait to say: "Liu Jingzhou, I don''t know how things are going in the hospital?"


    Liu Xiu said, "everything has been considered."


    With these words, Liu Xiu took out the outline and handed it to Zhang Zhongjing. This compendium, written and bound in Zuo Bo''s paper, has a total of 38 pages.


    Every page is Liu Xiu''s hard work.


    Liu Xiuse said: "Mr. Zhong, I have made arrangements for the hospital''s structure, staffing, appointment and removal of hospital personnel, etc. At present, Zhong Jinggong only needs to follow the outline. However, the hospital has its own special features. In some places, maybe I don''t think it well enough. Mr. Zhong Jing can supplement them alone. "


    "Liu Jingzhou''s action is for the benefit of the country and the people. Although it''s a good thing, I have doubts in my heart. "


    A white haired old man stood up. His name was Cheng Ling. He was a famous doctor in Xiangyang.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "what doubts does Cheng have in his heart? Do as much as you can


    Cheng zhengse said: "the establishment of the hospital needs a lot of money. How can we solve it? Is Xiangyang always in charge? "


    Liu xiudao: "Mr. Cheng, in Sun Quan''s eyes, rights are the most important.


    Everything else can be abandoned.


    Liu Xiu didn''t feel bad or good about sun Shangxiang. After all, there is not much contact between the two sides.


    Liu Xiu thought for a moment, then said: "you go to the military division, Kuai Liang and Yi Ji invited to discuss."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan went on to send orders. It wasn''t long before everyone came to the hall.


    Liu Xiu said straight to the point: "just received the news, Jiangdong sent Zhang Zhao as envoy, planning to marry sun Shangxiang again. Then Jiangdong and Jingzhou become allies. What''s your opinion? "


    Pang Tong turned his eyes and said, "if Sun Quan does this, it should be hard for Jiangdong. Sun Quan certainly hopes to temporarily ease the situation with Jingzhou by means of marriage, then accumulate strength, and then take the opportunity to fight back. It can be inferred that Jiangdong is also quite tired now. "


    Kuai Liang''s eyes narrowed. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Jiangdong has ulterior motives and has to guard against them. But the Lord married sun Shangxiang, which is also a good choice. The first is that the marriage between Jiangdong and Jingzhou can temporarily stabilize the relationship between the two sides. The second is that the Lord has only Huang Yueying as his wife and none of the other women. This is obviously unreasonable. There must be more women as the main body. "


    The corner of Liu Xiu''s mouth twitches. Kuai Liang''s proposal makes people laugh and cry.


    Open branches and scatter leaves!


    He is young. It''s too early for him to talk about spreading branches and leaves.

 Chapter 388

    After careful consideration, Yi Ji said, "Lord, I think we should get married."


    "First of all, as the leader of Jingzhou, the Lord can''t have only one woman. It''s a must to open branches and scatter leaves. Marriage with Jiangdong can not only enrich the backyard, but also stabilize the relationship with Jiangdong. Why not have the best of both worlds?"


    "So I''m in favor of marriage."


    "As Pang Junshi said, Jiangdong Sun Quan hopes to delay the situation and accumulate strength to fight back. But for the Lord, he also needs to accumulate strength and wait for a buffer of Jingzhou power to prepare for the next World War. "


    Yi Ji said: "once the Lord refuses to marry, it is likely to make Jiangdong nervous. If Sun Quan is forced, the Jiangdong army will jump over the wall and attack Jiangxia and Changsha County. The final result may be to kill 1000 enemies and lose 800. Even if the Lord defeated Jiangdong, we would suffer a huge loss. It''s Cao Cao who benefits. "


    The three men put forward their own ideas and agreed to marry Jiangdong.


    After hearing this, Shi Xiangyang and his entourage asked Liu Cixiu to come


    Pang Tong said, "my Lord is wise!"


    Yi Ji and Kuai Liang looked happy and said, "my Lord is wise!"


    After making an agreement, Liu Xiu changed his mind and said, "Zhang Xu is a clerk in the prefecture. Mr. Ji Bo, what do you think of his ability?"


    Yi Ji replied: "the ability is OK. I am competent at present. Other aspects remain to be observed. " As soon as the words changed, Yi Ji said, "I heard that the Lord has recruited Zhang Zhongjing and is going to build a hospital in Xiangyang?"


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu nodded and said something about the hospital.


    Then, Liu Xiu said, "if doctors from Jingzhou and even all over the world can be recruited to join the hospital in Jingzhou, it will be of great help to Jingzhou. Whether it is the strength of Jingzhou, or the people of Jingzhou, it will certainly benefit a lot. "


    Yi Ji nodded and said: "if this thing can succeed, it''s really good. In the past dynasties, there has not been a ruler who set up a hospital to see a doctor for the common people. My Lord, once this move is promoted, it will be famous all over the world again and admired by people all over the world. "


    Kuai Liang said with a smile: "the master''s move is not simple."


    Liu Xiu said: "everything is still advancing slowly. When it''s really successful, it''s not too late to boast."


    After the discussion, Pang Tong, Kuai Liang and Yi Ji retired.


    Liu Xiu considered for a long time in his study, but didn''t tell Huang Yueying. In the evening, Huang Yueying gave Liu xiuduan Chicken Soup for a night and said, "husband, I heard that Jiangdong is going to marry Jingzhou?"


    "Well, there''s this."


    Liu Xiu replied directly that he didn''t intend to hide it, but he didn''t think about how to tell Huang Yueying.


    Huang Yueying said with a smile: "now that I am pregnant, I can''t serve my husband. The marriage of Jiangdong and Jingzhou is just the right thing. "


    Liu Xiu asked, "don''t you feel bad?"


    Huang Yueying shook her head and said, "what can I do? It should be the right thing for a husband to take a wife and concubine. Look at my father. He''s several concubines, too. Besides, Miss Sun in Jiangdong is also pitiful. "


    "At the beginning, in order to destroy the situation in Changsha County, Sun Quan asked his husband to go to Jiangdong to meet him, and finally he came back. So much so that Miss Sun in Jiangdong lost her reputation and was alone. "


    "Now, she is thrown out of Sun Quan''s marriage again. It''s pathetic."


    Huang Yueying said with a smile, "my husband, don''t worry about me. I have nothing to worry about. What''s more, one more sister in the backyard, one more voice. So that my husband is away all the year round and I have nothing to do. Besides, I have a baby, that''s enough! "


    After the words were said, Liu Xiu was only moved.


    If you have a wife like this, why do you want a husband?


    Liu Xiu didn''t know what to say for a while. He just held Huang Yueying.


    With a smile, Huang Yueying broke away from Liu Xiu''s arms and said with a smile, "husband, drink the chicken soup quickly. It''s not good to drink when it''s cold."


    "Well!"


    Liu Xiu took the chicken soup and drank it directly.


    Huang Yueying said, "don''t be too late for your husband to read, and have a rest early in the evening."


    "I see!"


    Liu Xiu nodded and watched Huang Yueying leave.


    ¡­¡­


    Three days is fleeting.


    In the past three days, Zhang Zhongjing and others have been discussing the outline written by Liu Xiu. Although they are old, they are hale and hearty, and they do things very carefully and think word by word.


    The more they looked back, the more they admired Liu Xiu.


    This outline really solves the problem of hospital structure. When they had finished analyzing the outline, everyone''s heart was steady and full of passion. They wanted to start building the hospital immediately.


    After all the discussion, everyone began to divide.


    Good at cold, good at injury, good at Gynecology, good at internal injury


    The doctors classified and made clear their own affairs.Finally, everyone agreed that Zhang Zhongjing was the president of the hospital.


    When the matter was agreed, Zhang Zhongjing took everyone to see Liu Xiu, made it clear that Zhang Zhongjing would be the president. Meanwhile, the name of the hospital is Xiangyang hospital. Then Liu Xiu appointed a special person to take charge of the money and began to allocate funds to buy 20 mu of land in the center of Xiangyang City to build the hospital.


    Twenty acres of land, this land, Zhang Zhongjing people amazing.


    However, Liu Xiu knew that once Xiangyang hospital was established, although it was 20 mu of land, it was not too big for Xiangyang as a whole.


    Liu Xiu asked Yi Ji to allocate funds and Zhang Zhongjing to follow him, but he no longer asked about the hospital.


    Time is like running water. Four days have passed.


    On this day, Jiangdong envoy Zhang Zhao arrived in Xiangyang City.


    When Zhang Zhao came to Xiangyang again, his mood was different from before.


    Last time I came to Xiangyang, it was Liu Xiu''s wedding.


    Although Liu Xiu was also famous in Jingzhou at that time, he is still different from today. Now, with his own strength, Liu Xiu has defeated Cao Cao''s 800000 troops, which makes no one dare to underestimate. When he arrived at the prefecture, Zhang Zhao entered the hall and saw Liu Xiu sitting on the throne. He arched his hand and said, "Zhang Zhao, envoy of Jiangdong, met Liu Jingzhou."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zibu, please sit down!"


    Thank you, Liu Jingzhou


    After thanking Zhang Zhao, he took a seat in the hall.


    Liu xiudao said: "Mr. Zibu is a famous hostel in Jiangdong. He is highly respected and talented. I have heard Lu Su and Tai Shici mention you many times. They all admire you very much. They all say that it would be great if they could work with Mr. Zibu. I said, "I will invite Mr. Zibu to Jingzhou in the future to fulfill their wishes."


    A word of praise is blatantly digging the corner of Sun Quan.


    When Zhang Zhao heard Liu Xiu''s praise, he was delighted and felt that Bei Er had face.


    However, as the envoy of Jiangdong, Sun Quan''s confidant, Zhang Zhao''s identity, made him feel that this was inappropriate. Zhang Zhao, with a serious face, said: "Liu Jingzhou, Lu Su and Tai Shici are willing to go to Jiangdong, so it''s OK to work together. Although they have made mistakes, my Lord is generous and will not care about them. "


    Liu Xiu said: "it''s just the saying that good birds choose trees to live in, and good officials choose their subjects. It''s always about people going up, Mr. Zibu. How do you think they would like to go back to Jiangdong? "


    After hearing this, Zhang Zhao felt angry in his heart.


    Jiangdong is weak!


    This is the current situation.


    This situation also led to Zhang Zhao''s lack of confidence in his mission to Jingzhou and his inability to straighten his back.


    It''s very difficult to talk and behave.


    Zhang Zhao didn''t want to argue with Liu Xiu. After a change of the subject, he went back to the subject and said: "Liu Jingzhou must have known about the marriage. Sun Shangxiang, the Pearl of Jiangdong, is still unmarried, and she always wants to marry a hero. Liu Jingzhou is young and promising. He is a first-class hero. It''s just right. "


    After a pause, Zhang Zhao said: "sun Shangxiang married Liu Jingzhou. On the one hand, it''s all in her mind. On the other hand, it is also that Jiangdong is willing to fight with Jingzhou and stop fighting. I don''t know. What does Liu Jingzhou mean? "


    Liu Xiu nodded his head and said, "it''s natural that Jiangdong proposed to stop fighting. Jiangdong''s proposal to marry Jingzhou is naturally a good choice. I''m afraid marriage alone is not enough. "


    Zhang Zhao''s face changed slightly, and Liu Xiu had something to say in his words, which was obviously not satisfied with the conditions of marriage.

 Chapter 389

    Liu Xiu is very straightforward. Besides marriage, what else do you need?


    What do you need?


    "What else does Liu Jingzhou think is needed besides marriage?" Zhang asked


    Liu Xiu said: "last year, Lu Su came to Jingzhou on behalf of Sun Quan to seek peace. The two sides suspended the war and did not fight any more. But then Sun Quan tore up the treaty unilaterally, and taishici attacked Changsha County and started the war. "


    "Later, Zhou Yu himself led the army to attack Jingzhou."


    "All this has been the constant attack of Jiangdong."


    "Jingzhou has never taken the initiative to send troops, has been forced to fight, had to rise up against."


    Liu Xiu had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "now that Jiangdong is married, he wants to stop fighting. What does that mean? In Sun Quan''s eyes, does it not mean that Jingzhou can be called back and forth? You can bully at will. If that''s the case, I''d rather not get married than fight to the end. "


    Seeing Liu Xiu''s angry expression, Zhang Zhao said hurriedly, "Liu Jingzhou, please calm down. The Lord proposed marriage with great sincerity. He is really determined to stop fighting with Jingzhou."


    Liu xiudao: "so Sun Quan is sincere?"


    "Yes


    Zhang Zhao nodded without hesitation, with a look of approval.


    Liu Xiu said: "I am very glad that Marquis Wu has made up his mind to really ease the war. In addition, the conditions of this official are very simple. In addition to marrying sun Shangxiang, Sun Quan also needs to prepare enough dowry. "


    "It''s natural!"


    Zhang Zhao was relieved that if it was a dowry, it would be easy.


    Zhang Zhao said: "when Jiangdong pearl is married, the guild will prepare 10000 taels of gold, 9999 pieces of silk and 666 pearls. Besides, there are many gifts


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "that''s not enough!"


    Zhang Zhao''s heart beat twelve spirit, asked: "Liu Jingzhou also need what gift?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "in addition to the dowry, we need 12 warships and 100 craftsmen. The conditions are as simple as that. "


    Only after Zhang Zhao listened, the expression on his face collapsed.


    Eyes, showing a dignified look.


    Jiangdong is located in the southeast of China, where war horses are scarce, relying on warships and shipbuilding craftsmen. On the river, Jiangdong''s warships are vertical and horizontal, which is Jiangdong''s biggest advantage and Sun Quan''s reliance on Jiangdong.


    Now, Liu Xiu wants 12 warships and 100 craftsmen to build ships at one go.


    Such conditions are too harsh.


    Zhang zhaoshen took a breath and said, "Liu Jingzhou, this condition is too harsh."


    Liu Xiu said: "Mr. Zibu, are such conditions harsh? In my opinion, there are no less than 100 warships and large ships in Jiangdong, and there are countless craftsmen. These boats and craftsmen should be small problems. And the reason why I put forward 12 warships is just a token dowry. "


    When Zhang Zhao heard the speech, he rubbed his teeth.


    This condition is still symbolic. When I was kicked stupid by a donkey?


    Zhang Zhao said, "Liu Jingzhou, to be honest. Because Huang Zu conquered Chaisang before, the Jiangdong water army suffered heavy losses. In that battle, hundreds of warships were destroyed, but now they have not been slowed down. There are too many twelve warships, and it''s difficult for a hundred craftsmen. "


    "Jiangdong came to seek survival with sincerity. I hope Liu Jingzhou can understand."


    Zhang Zhao also said: "Liu Jingzhou, I can''t sell Jiangdong even if I''m going to Jingzhou for peace, can''t I? In my opinion, nine warships means a long time. Then, the craftsmen were also 981. What do you think? This condition is the maximum that Jiangdong can bear. "


    After Pang Tong heard this, he seemed to be moved and said with a smile: "Lord, in my opinion, Mr. Zibu is sincere. This condition is acceptable. "


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly, and his face was full of emotion.


    Zhang Zhao struck while the iron was hot and said, "this time, we don''t need Liu Jingzhou to go to Wu county to meet the bride in person. Our team will send relatives to Xiangyang. At that time, Liu Jingzhou can wait directly in Xiangyang. "


    Kuai Liang said: "Lord, I think it''s OK. Jiangdong pearl with the Lord, beauty with the hero, is also a great event


    Yi Ji said: "Lord, I agree with you."


    Liu Xiu saw that all the people under his command agreed, but he did not insist any more. He said, "in that case, please go back to Jiangdong and tell Marquis Wu to prepare as soon as possible."


    "No!"


    Zhang Zhao arched his hand and said, "I''m leaving now."


    ¡­¡­


    Jiangdong, Wuxian.


    Wu Houfu!


    Backyard, sun Shangxiang''s yard.


    Sun Shangxiang was sitting in the yard, his face was slightly wooden, and the look in his eyes was not as smart as before. Since she promised Sun Quan to marry Liu Xiu again, she was disappointed with Sun Quan.If the elder brother was there, he would not force her like this and would not oppress her with Jiangdong Jiye.


    Unfortunately, she''s going to get married in the end.


    But the man who got married almost married her, but escaped on the way.


    Sun Shangxiang should have hated Liu Xiu, but she couldn''t because her brother had caused all this.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    The sound of footsteps came from outside the yard.


    Wu Guotai came in, saw sun Shangxiang and sat down beside him. Looking at the haggard sun Shangxiang, Wu Guotai''s heart is also a burst of heartache.


    "Shangxiang,..."


    As soon as Wu Guotai opened her mouth, she was interrupted by sun Shangxiang and said, "mother, my daughter has agreed to get married. Don''t worry. I won''t run away from my marriage. Let my second brother rest assured. "


    When Wu Guotai heard of the speech, she was even more distressed.


    Wu Guotai said: "silly girl, mother is not here to be your second brother''s lobbyist."


    Sun Shangxiang asked, "what''s mother doing here?"


    Wu Guotai said: "when a mother comes to see her daughter, it''s natural for her to ask why?"


    Sun Shangxiang was silent.


    Wu Guotai continued: "mother doesn''t judge what your second brother does. The palm and the back of the hand are all meat. She doesn''t know what to do. However, her mother asked about Liu Xiu''s character. As for whether he was a hero, she didn''t know. What my mother knows is that he has only one hair wife. "


    Sun Shangxiang was puzzled and asked, "what does mother know about this?"


    Wu Guotai said: "Liu Xiu is a herdsman in Jingzhou. He is in charge of one side and a great vassal. He is a man who has only one wife. What does it mean? It means that he is not sentimental and is a good man to women. Although you are forced to marry Liu Xiu, it''s not bad. At least you''ll get married. With Liu Xiu''s temperament, it won''t be difficult for you. "


    Sun Shangxiang smell speech, in the heart thought of Liu Xiu found her, said there are like people, do not want to marry her things.


    If you think about it, it''s true.


    Wu Guotai continued: "in fact, it is as deep as the sea as the gate of marquis. Born in Houmen''s home, I want to choose the right husband. It''s not so easy to find a man with good temperament. It''s God''s blessing. If you marry a man who looks around for love and flirts, it''s life. You can only turn a blind eye. "


    Sun Shangxiang listened and nodded.


    As the sister of marquis Wu Sun Quan, she does not understand these things. For example, although her second brother has no children, there are a lot of women in the backyard. Compared with Sun Quan, Liu Xiu is good.


    Wu Guotai continued: "girl, in fact, when you marry Liu Xiu, your mother is quite satisfied. My mother doesn''t know about politics, and she doesn''t want to get involved in your second brother''s politics, but she also knows that the situation is not optimistic. "


    "You are married to Liu Xiu. At least you have nothing to worry about."


    "If you stay in Jiangdong, maybe one day you need to woo someone. Your second brother will marry you directly. At that time, it was hard to say. "


    Wu guole said: "this is the best result of women''s struggle. Otherwise, life will be very difficult. Just remember what my mother said. "


    After hearing this, sun Shangxiang felt better about his depression and said with a smile, "mother, don''t worry, daughter knows. After her daughter gets married, she will be a good husband and a good son. She will live a good life and will not seek for life or death. "


    Wu Guotai saw sun Shangxiang''s tone gradually return to normal, and she also had a smile on her face.

 Chapter 390

    The autumn wind in September, a little bit more cool.


    Xiangyang City is very lively.


    In the center of Xiangyang City, Xiangyang hospital is still under construction.


    At the beginning, Zhang Zhongjing found many craftsmen to build the house, but with Zhang Zhongjing''s energy, the speed of the craftsmen was too slow. Finally, he asked Liu Xiu for help.


    To this end, Liu Xiu issued an order, let the government send a large number of craftsmen to participate in it.


    The construction progress of Xiangyang hospital was accelerated.


    Xiangyang hospital, which covers an area of 20 mu, has sprung up in the chaotic terrain.


    This action has attracted the attention of countless people.


    The news soon spread in Xiangyang and even in Jingzhou.


    As time goes on, the hospital has begun to take shape.


    Liu Xiu wrote the name of the hospital, and Liu Xiu wrote it in person. Hanging this plaque, the status of Xiangyang hospital was elevated to a higher level.


    The first phase of the hospital project, covering an area of eight acres of housing and office space, was completed on September 6.


    Zhang Zhongjing and a group of people from other hospitals entered the hospital.


    On September 8, Xiangyang hospital officially opened, and then began to receive patients.


    In the hospital, all of them are elderly and experienced doctors. This situation has attracted countless patients to go to see a doctor. The first day of the patient, just let the doctor busy.


    On the first day, more than 600 patients were received.


    The medicinal materials prepared in the hospital are nearly used up, because no one expected that so many people would come.


    In this era, there are only a few real famous doctors.


    Zhang Zhongjing is one of them. When people listen to Zhang Zhongjing, they all go there.


    On the first day, Zhang Zhongjing was very busy. Just his spirit, but very excited. Because of the situation on the first day, I gave him a cardiotonic.


    The establishment of the hospital greatly facilitates the people.


    At the same time, it is precisely because of the government''s control that the price of the hospital can be minimized and the hospital will not be interfered by the outside world.


    After a busy day, Zhang Zhongjing ate a few mouthfuls of rice in the evening, and hurriedly asked people to supplement the medicinal materials, so that the apprentice looked at the patients in the hospital, and hurried to zhoumu Prefecture.


    In the moonlight, Zhang Zhongjing''s pace is brisk.


    Came to the gate, he reported, the porter directly with Zhang Zhongjing to Liu Xiu''s study.


    After sitting down, Liu Xiu said, "Mr. Zhongjing, what''s the situation?"


    With a bright smile on his face, Zhang Zhongjing replied, "my Lord, the situation is very good. Xiangyang hospital has been a great success. But now I have a problem. I need your help. "


    "What''s the problem?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Zhang Zhongjing said: "first, from today''s point of view, doctors and apprentices are far from enough and need to be recruited. Second, the supply of medicinal materials is insufficient. We need to increase the supply and reserve, otherwise there will be a shortage of drugs. "


    Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "doctors and apprentices are not enough. You can recruit them directly. I don''t want to interfere in this. Any candidate you think can be employed directly. Second, in terms of the supply of medicinal materials, many doctors should have channels for them to make suggestions and determine a stable supply. "


    At this point, Liu xiudao said: "remember that quality is the first, rather than excessive. The hospital''s medication must guarantee the quality and the effect of treatment, and can''t replace inferior drugs with good ones. Once you find out, don''t let it go. "


    Zhang Zhongjing said, "I understand. With my Lord, I will know what to do."


    Liu Xiu said, "Mr. Zhong Jing, you are an old man. You should also pay attention to your health. You can''t be exhausted for this, otherwise, Zhang Xu will have to work hard for me. "


    With some joking remarks, Zhang Zhongjing''s face was smiling and said, "don''t worry, my Lord. It''s no problem." After a pause, Zhang Zhongjing said, "the hospital has something else to do, so I left first."


    "No hurry, one more thing."


    Liu Xiu waved and Zhang Zhongjing stopped.


    Zhang Zhongjing asked, "what else can I do for you, my lord?"


    Liu xiudao: "Mr. Zhong Jinggong, Xiangyang hospital, you are in charge. In the future, I may set up a separate organization to manage the hospital, and you may also be in charge of this organization. "


    "Therefore, when you build a hospital now, you should pay attention to training younger doctors with good technology and medical ethics, so that they can be familiar with the process of building a hospital."


    "Once Xiangyang hospital is really in operation, it will be gradually extended to all counties."


    "If you do everything and they are not familiar with it, who will promote it in every county?"


    Liu Xiu said: "the people you cultivate now are the backbone of the future. Otherwise, if someone who doesn''t really understand gives an order directly to each county, it may backfire. Mr. Zhong should pay more attention to this situation, make long-term plans and long-term considerations. "Zhang Zhongjing said with a smile: "I will remember the advice of my Lord."


    Liu Xiu nodded and talked about the hospital. He got up to send Zhang Zhongjing away.


    The hospital entered the normal, Liu Xiu''s heart, also temporarily put down.


    Liu Xiu thought of another thing - academy!


    In Jingzhou, the most famous is pound''s lumen Academy. However, lumen academy is a private school of pound, which is private and cannot be popularized.


    Such a situation is difficult to extend to all counties.


    Liu Xiu wanted to run the Academy with the purpose of opening up a scholar and breaking the obstruction of the aristocratic family.


    In this era, the aristocratic family monopolized everything. It was quite difficult for the poor scholars to study and become an official.


    Fortunately, this is a troubled time!


    Recruiting talents in troubled times, to a great extent, will break the monopoly of aristocratic families. Because no matter how old your aristocratic family is, once you are attacked by war and bandits, you will be affected.


    The aristocratic families in the late Han Dynasty were still in the stage of development. In the two Jin Dynasties, aristocratic families really formed. At that time, it was very difficult for the poor scholars to get a way out.


    Liu Xiu wants to break the situation and form his own talent pool.


    Then, it is necessary to start a new career.


    In order to be successful, we must have a series of talent training mechanisms to continuously select talents.


    However, the establishment of academies can not be accomplished overnight.


    Compared with the establishment of the hospital, the hospital is, after all, a miscellaneous family. In the eyes of scholars, it is a miscellaneous family. It is not in the mainstream, and there are few constraints. Moreover, it is something everyone needs, and it will be completed naturally.


    The establishment of academies is different. It will break many monopolies, which will involve many problems.


    Distinguish before and after, distinguish between urgency and priority.


    In Liu Xiu''s mind, he thought carefully and wanted to perfect the whole plan.


    First of all, we should learn from the experience!


    After Liu Xiu thought about it, he made a decision.


    Within the scope of Jingzhou, Liu Xiu can open an examination room for examination.


    After the rules were gradually formed in the first year and the second year, Liu Xiu stipulated that the people who started to learn should be those from Jingzhou Academy.


    In this way, we can pull out the Academy.


    As for the talents who are not from Jingzhou, it''s OK to take another path.


    the plan gradually took shape in Liu Xiu''s mind.


    Relatively speaking, it is relatively easy to operate.


    However, the academy is the biggest problem.


    To be successful, it is not a matter of one day. Liu Xiu thought quickly and thought of pound in his mind. If you don''t look for Mr. pound in such a situation, don''t you put resources aside?


    Liu Xiu thought about how to talk with pound bus, and then went back to the yard to have a rest.


    Early the next morning, Liu Xiu took Huang Hu and Deng AI to leave zhoumu Prefecture and go to Pang''s house in the city. Because Huang Yueying was pregnant, pound also stayed in the city.


    At home, Liu Xiu met Mr. pound in his study.


    After sitting down, pound said justly: "now, Xiuer, you are in charge of Jingzhou. You are busy. I came to see you early this morning. What can I do for you? "


    Liu Xiuse said: "there is indeed a big event, need the help of teachers."

 Chapter 391

    Pound said: "come on, what is it? If I accept you as a disciple, I will not give up. "


    Liu xiudao: "in fact, before I came here, I thought that I would not find a teacher, because it would be very difficult to do it, and even be criticized, which would put the teacher in a difficult position. But in Jingzhou, the disciples couldn''t find a suitable person, so they had to ask the teacher for help. "


    Pound''s face became serious.


    Liu Xiu is now in charge of Jingzhou, but also defeated Cao Cao''s 800000 troops, can be said to be a high power.


    The problem that can make Liu Xiu feel embarrassed is certainly not simple.


    Mr. pound got up and said, "what is it, let''s talk about it first. As long as I can help, I will not be stingy. I am not only your teacher, but also your father. Although old, but also can shield you from the wind and rain


    Liu Xiu was moved by the speech.


    He also struggled in his heart, because to be an academy, he had to be a famous scholar like pound.


    However, once pound did it, he would become the enemy of the aristocratic family.


    To some extent, this will make Mr. pound stand on the opposite side of the major families, blocking their chances to attract talents and control officialdom.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "teacher, I want to break the monopoly of aristocratic families, establish academies and cultivate talents. No matter the poor scholars or the aristocratic families, they can only be controlled by me. Jingzhou officialdom will gradually change the system of becoming an official. There is no need to select officials by means of recruitment and examination. Only examinations can be set up. Only through the examination established by Jingzhou can they become an official. No matter who they are, they will be chosen by their ability. "


    "Boom!"


    Pound''s face was shocked when he heard the speech.


    I didn''t expect Liu Xiu to have such a big heart.


    It''s not easy to leave the aristocratic families behind.


    Pound said justly, "do you know the consequences of doing this, Hugh?"


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I know, but please think about it. I don''t talk about the generals under my command. Among the civil servants, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue came from the Kuai family, and they are the famous families in Jingzhou; Ma Liang and Ma Su came from the Ma family in Yicheng, and they are also the famous families in Jingzhou; Yi nationality came from Shanyang County in Yanzhou, and they are also from the famous families. "


    "What''s more, Jiangxia, huangzu, Yiji, Lu Su and others, which one is not from the big family?"


    "There are few real poor scholars, so Xu Shu was born in a poor family."


    "However, Xu Shu met the teacher, and only with the teacher''s guidance could he achieve something. If there were no teachers, Xu Shu would not have achieved what he has achieved today. "


    "The aristocratic family stresses family, country and the world. First there is a family, then there is a country, and then there is the world."


    "The first is the family."


    Liu Xiuse said: "I hope the officials under my command will consider the country first. As the saying goes, there is no skin, no hair, no country, no home? Although such a home exists, is it meaningful? "


    "I don''t want Jingzhou to fall into such a situation, so I want to break it."


    "What''s more, there are so many ordinary people and poor scholars in Jingzhou. Why should they be inferior and lose the chance to study?"


    "That''s why I want to learn from others and gradually establish academies."


    "In the past, when I first went to work in you County, Kuai Qi and Shi Yuan asked me about my disciples'' aspirations. At that time, the disciple said, "I want to go on to the unique learning of the sage and open up the peace of the world."


    Liu Xiu''s tone became more and more heavy, and said: "if even the monopoly of aristocratic families can''t be broken, the disciples can''t start an academic career, and they can''t let the world''s talents display their ambition, I''m afraid it''s just empty talk to realize this ambition."


    Pang Degong looked at Liu Xiu with sharp eyes. He was shocked by Liu Xiu''s words.


    Carry on the unique learning of the sage and open the peace of the world!


    This ambition is really great.


    It''s really shocking that Liu Xiu wants to start a new career.


    In Pound''s heart, there was an endless pride and happiness. Because in his later years, he even accepted such a disciple, such a ambitious and ambitious disciple.


    Pound is just: "Xiuer, I was born in the Pang family, and I am also a member of the family."


    In a word, Liu Xiu looks calm.


    Liu Xiu smiles a little and says, "I used to be ignored by my father. Only with the help of my teacher can I get to this day step by step. The only person a disciple can believe is a teacher. "


    Pound laughed, stroked his beard under his jaw, and his eyes looked pleased.


    "If there are disciples like this, why do you want to do so?"


    There is a strong sense of relief in Pound''s words.


    Immediately, pound said: "it''s not easy to establish academies and break the monopoly of aristocratic families. Needless to say, the Huang family is your father-in-law. There should be no problem. I''m afraid it''s hard to talk about the Kuai family and the Ma family. Xiuer, this road is doomed to be difficult and dangerous. Have you considered it? If you don''t pay attention, it will affect the stability of Jingzhou. "Liu Xiuse said: "I have already considered it!"


    Pound''s words changed and said, "now that you have considered it, you should be prepared. Come on, let''s talk about your plan first. "


    Liu Xiu raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "teacher, I think so."


    "This year, we will issue a notice in Xiangyang, which is open to all people. The disciples will ask people to sort out some of the vacant official positions, and let those who want to take up the positions take unified examinations and then engage them. "


    "Next year, at the same time, the disciples will take out some vacant official posts and recruit scholars again."


    "In the third year, the students will change their conditions. The examinees must be from the Academy. As long as they are studying in the Academy, they can take the examination by virtue of the certificate issued by the Academy. "


    "In the future, gradually standardize the examination, a little bit of change."


    "This situation is relatively easy to implement and will not encounter too much resistance."


    "The most important thing is the Academy. Like the hospital, the students think about it from one point to another."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes twinkled with light and said, "please officially announce the establishment of lumen academy this year. As for the location of lumen academy, it was also built in the city. Then, the teacher recruited great scholars to teach the students who entered lumen Academy. "


    "I don''t expect that this will be greatly affected."


    "The point is what''s next."


    "With the opening of the lumen academy, a branch of lumen academy will be set up to recruit more students. This pass is the most important and the most difficult, because it is easy to be resisted by the aristocratic families in all counties and counties. "


    "Once it has been promoted in the prefectures, the next step is to set up lumen Academy in each county."


    Liu Xiu had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "what I want to do is that every county in Jingzhou has its own lumen Academy. All the students in Jingzhou come from lumen Academy. Lumen academy is the only recognized Academy in Jingzhou. If you want to be an official in Jingzhou officialdom, you can study in lumen Academy. "


    "After all the improvement of lumen academy, it will gradually expand down. According to different ages, we teach them separately. In the end, starting from the enlightenment, we must grasp the hands of lumen Academy. "


    Liu Xiu''s face was filled with an unprecedented look.


    This look even inspired pound.


    However, Pound''s breathing was also rapid. He understood the difficulties and hardships. Because doing so must have cut off the way of countless aristocratic families.


    However, once it is successful, it will definitely be a matter of great popularity.


    Lumen Academy was founded by Mr. pound.


    Even though he had been a hermit for a long time, he couldn''t help but feel excited and yearning for what would happen after his success.


    Pound said justly: "Xiuer, I am duty bound to do what you say. On the one hand, the teacher is also attracted by your grand plan. How can the teacher miss such a famous thing? On the other hand, it is also a matter that benefits the country and the future. Moreover, it will be of great help to the future development of Jingzhou and to your ZTE Hanshi. "


    Liu Xiu got Pang Degong''s reply. He was very excited. He arched his hand and said, "thank you, teacher!"


    Mr. pound replied, "don''t thank me. You are really bad enough to dig a hole and make the teacher have to jump down. Well, I''m old enough to be vulgar. "


    Liu xiudao: "the teacher belittled himself."


    "When are you going to start a career?" asked Mr. pound


    Liu Xiu thought for a moment and said, "I''ll prepare for a while. Next, I have to prepare for my marriage with Jiangdong. When the marriage is over, we''ll start a career. "


    Pound said: "it''s good. I''ll be ready for some time. If we want to set up the Academy, we need to find more like-minded people. We can''t do without a certain amount of time. "

 Chapter 392

    "Dong! Dong


    Suddenly, a knock on the door rang out of the study.


    Deng AI Chen reported: "young master, a letter has come from the government saying that there is something urgent. Please go back to the government immediately."


    Liu xiudao: "I know!"


    Liu Xiu said: "teacher, I''d like to ask the teacher for the affairs of lumen Academy. I''ll go back to the Palace first, and then I''ll start to prepare for my career. "


    "Well!"


    Pang Degong nodded and got up to send Liu Xiu away.


    Liu Xiu went back to his house and saw Yi Ji in the hall. In addition to Yi nationality, there are also many civil and military officials in Jingzhou, such as Kuai Liang, Wang can, Han song, etc. In addition, Xiangyang County Magistrate was also there, and his face was heavy.


    Seeing this scene, Liu Xiu wondered what had happened? After sitting down, Liu Xiu asked directly, "Mr. Ji Bo, what happened?"


    Yi Ji zhengse way: "Lord, this matter is Xiangyang County Magistrate reported, humble proposal, by him to tell."


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu nodded and his eyes fell on Xiangyang County Magistrate.


    Xiangyang County Magistrate said: "my Lord, this is what happened. Early this morning, there was a taxi named Zhu Yu. He was nearly 30 years old and came from a poor family. He threw himself into the river and died. "


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s not like this has never happened. Is there anything else in it? "


    Liu Xiu''s brain, guess is Zhu Yu humiliated?


    Xiangyang County Magistrate shook his head, said: "Zhu Yu''s death is not murder, nor homicide, is a real suicide."


    "Oh, since it''s suicide, how did it get to the government?" Liu Xiu asked again.


    Xiangyang County Magistrate replied: "the reason for Zhu Yu''s suicide is that he studied hard for decades in the cold window, and finally could not get the imperial court''s recruitment, examination, and recommendation from the great Confucians. He went to Yamen and offered himself. In the end, he didn''t get the chance to become an official. In desperation, he threw himself into the river


    "Zhu Yu''s death was a small matter."


    "But his death stimulated the poor scholars in Xiangyang City. These poor scholars gathered together to ask the government for justice. Although the poor scholars are not the most important, they are indispensable. "


    "If we send troops to suppress it, it may lead to greater changes."


    "What''s more, it''s still useless for me to send someone to appease me, so I didn''t know how to deal with this matter, so I found Yi Biejia and Kuai to engage in it."


    Xiangyang County Magistrate said the whole thing in detail, and then stood respectfully.


    Everyone''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu sighed in his heart. A poor scholar, who was very good, had no choice but to commit suicide. If there are academies, such things can be eliminated, or even weakened, so that the poor scholars will not see no hope.


    At this moment, Liu Xiu''s heart is more firm.


    The establishment of academies is imperative.


    In Liu Xiu''s mind, in a very short time, he had an idea. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Then he asked, "Duke, what''s your opinion about Zhu Yu''s suicide?"


    When asked, Liu Xiu''s eyes showed a touch of brilliance.


    In this case, we can also test the ideas of Kuai Liang, Yi Ji and others.


    Yi Ji thought about it and replied, "Lord, it''s not suitable to fight in Jingzhou at present. Once troops are sent to suppress or arrest troublemakers, I''m afraid it will cause unrest. Once it is used by Jiangdong or Cao Cao, it may cause more turbulence, and then turn into a speech against the Lord. I think that for the time being, appeasement is the main thing. "


    Kuai Liang nodded and said, "I think the suggestion of yibie driving is correct. Although the troublemakers of poor scholars can be suppressed, once they are used by people who want to make use of them, they will cause great turbulence. At that time, the Lord may be hostile to the poor scholars in the world. In this matter, we should give priority to appeasement. "


    The rest of the people, speaking one after another, have the same argument. After hearing this, Liu Xiu knew that this situation must have been discussed before he came back.


    Otherwise, it is impossible to be so uniform.


    Liu Xiuse said: "since we have decided to give priority to appeasement, how to appease?"


    When the question was raised, there was hesitation on the faces of the people in the hall.


    Obviously, on this issue, everyone is divided.


    A person, you look at me, I look at you, temporarily did not say their own ideas.


    Liu Xiu said directly, "Ji Bo, you say it first."


    Yi Ji said: "my Lord, I think we can bury Zhu Yu deeply, and then give some pension to Zhu Yu''s family, and then put up a notice to show that my Lord will consider the poor family in the future. In this way, other poor scholars will not have any opinions. At the same time, it can also show the attitude of the Lord as a courteous and virtuous corporal. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and asked, "zirou, what''s your opinion?"


    Liu Xiu did not comment on Yi Ji''s views. If Liu Xiu wants to control the overall situation, he naturally needs to grasp all the situations before considering the situation.Kuai Liang said: "Lord, I don''t agree with the appeasement of yibie Jia."


    Liu xiudao: "what does Zi Rou think should be done?"


    Kuai Liang replied: "a poor scholar is a poor scholar after all. If the master''s attitude is too low, he will be pushed on his nose and face by them, making them think that the master is easy to bully. I''m afraid he will put forward more stringent requirements. "


    "At that time, the way of pension proposed by Yi Biejia can not appease Zhu Yu and other poor scholars, but will make the situation more difficult."


    "So I think that the Lord only needs to bury Zhu Yu and give his family a certain amount of pension."


    Kuai Liang continued: "as for the rest of the poor scholars, it''s unnecessary to appease them a little. It would be too much to post a notice to apologize according to the idea of yibie driving. The Lord is courteous to the virtuous corporal, but it is not so


    Compared with Yi nationality, Kuai Liang''s attitude is more powerful.


    On the one hand, Kuai Liang was born in the Kuai family, a famous family in Jingzhou, and despised the poor scholars to a certain extent; on the other hand, Kuai liang thought that Liu Xiu was already a famous prince after he defeated Cao Cao. It was absolutely inappropriate for Liu Xiu to apologize to some poor scholars.


    Liu Xiu still didn''t express his opinion. After thinking about Wang can, he asked, "Zhong Xuan, what do you think?"


    Wang can was shocked by his speech.


    Liu Xiu asked him!


    Wang can looked excited and replied, "my Lord, I don''t think I''m a poor scholar. Zhu Yu died. The reason for the trouble is that some of the poor scholars incited him. "


    "The Lord just needs to send someone to attract the leader, and the troublemakers will be solved naturally."


    "I don''t think it''s enough to worry about the trouble caused by poor scholars. There are so many poor scholars in the world. Is it necessary for the Lord to appease the dead? The Lord is a overlord with noble status. There is no need to apologize to the poor scholar in a low voice. Otherwise, just like what Kuai said, it is very likely that he will push his nose on his face. "


    Liu Xiu''s face remained expressionless.


    Three people in a row said their views, but Liu Xiu didn''t say anything.


    This kind of situation makes people in the hall beat drums. How did Liu Xiu think about it? If Liu Xiu doesn''t make a statement, the people below are also scared.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Han song again and asked, "Degao, what do you think?"


    Han song is different from Kuai Liang and Yi nationality. He was born in a poor family.


    Now, Liu Xiu asked him for his opinion, which means to consider the poor scholars? Han song moved in his heart and thought, is the Lord standing on the side of the poor scholar, otherwise how can he ask his opinion?


    Han song took a deep breath and said slowly, "Lord, in Xunzi AI Gong, it is said that the king is the boat, and the common man is the water. Water carries the boat, water capsizes the boat! In the same way, I think that if a man is a lord, he is a boat; if a common man is a poor scholar, he is water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. "


    A simple remark is a hidden opportunity.


    After hearing this, the people in the hall showed a dignified look on their faces. At this point, it''s a bit serious. The height of the matter has gone one step further.


    Liu Xiu had a smile in his heart, and finally a person talked about the point.

 Chapter 393

    Liu Xiu had a trace of expectation in his eyes and said, "you go on!"


    This statement, Han song has more confidence.


    Han song took a deep breath and said, "my Lord, I heard that Cao Cao took the emperor to order the princes to recruit talents, regardless of virtue and origin. From this point of view, Cao Cao attaches great importance to talents. "


    "Cao Cao all attaches great importance to talents. If the Lord wants to surpass Cao Cao and revive the Han Dynasty, he should do better than Cao Cao. Otherwise, what can he do to defeat Cao Cao?"


    "To some extent, the incident of the poor scholar sounded an alarm for the Lord."


    "The Lord should pay attention to this matter."


    In Han Song''s eyes, his spirit became more and more bright, and he said in a loud voice: "this opportunity is actually God''s opportunity to recruit talents for the Lord."


    "So I think the Lord should pay homage to Zhu Yu''s grave in person. Then he announced that talent should be recruited from all walks of life


    "Only in this way can the image of the LORD be displayed."


    Han Song said: "once this matter is successful, the image of the Lord, courteous and virtuous, and thirsty for talents, will surely be known by people all over the world. My Lord, I don''t think it''s necessary to pay for a pension. Scholars attach great importance to reputation, the Lord himself to worship, is the biggest pension. In addition, the best result is to recruit more talents. "


    Kuai Liang stepped forward and stared at Han song with sharp eyes. He yelled in a deep voice: "Han song, do you want your Lord to be a joke in the world? Once the Lord has done so, what will the aristocratic families think of him? Han Degao, your suggestion is to put the Lord on the fire to make him embarrassed. Do you know? "


    With these words, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed.


    Han Song didn''t give up and said, "Kuai zirou, don''t make you think about the Lord. As the saying goes, only when the sea embraces all rivers can it become vast. If you want to accomplish something great, if you are timid and dare not recruit poor scholars, then your foundation is your foundation or the foundation of the world''s aristocratic families. "


    "You..."


    Kuai Liang''s anger is already rising.


    Han Song''s words are already words of remorse, which makes people afraid.


    Liu Xiu saw that the situation was more and more sharp, and the smell of gunpowder was more and more strong. He said, "OK!"


    In a word, Kuai Liang and Han Song hummed and said nothing. Everyone''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu. No matter how fierce their argument was, no matter how hot it was, Liu Xiu had to make up his mind.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "under the command of my official, we should speak in terms of talents. If there is no talent, but occupy a position, it is a simple meal. Such a result is certainly inappropriate. "


    Kuai Liang''s eyes became heavy.


    Han song had a look of pride in his eyes.


    Liu Xiu''s short sentence, in their view, has made an argument and made a decision.


    When the rest of the people looked at Kuai Liang, there was a trace of regret.


    This time, Liu Xiu is on the side of Han song.


    Liu Xiu glanced at his subordinates and continued: "but..." At this point, everyone''s heart was hooked up again, and some unprepared. A turning word shows different meanings.


    Could it be that what Liu Xiu valued was the aristocratic family represented by Kuai liang.


    People''s hearts speculated that for a moment, they were not sure what kind of mood Liu Xiu was.


    Liu Xiu looked at the people under his command with a look in his eyes.


    At this time, people only feel heavy in the heart.


    They suddenly realized that Liu Xiu was the real master. Even though Liu Xiuping is easy to talk, once Liu Xiu shows his dignity, there will be a huge pressure.


    Jingzhou, who has just turned 20, is not a rookie, but a practical, experienced and resourceful man.


    In the hearts of all the people, they listened to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu continued: "in my official''s opinion, the aristocratic family is the palm of the hand, and the poor scholar is the back of the hand. The palm and the back of the hand are all part of the hand and are extremely important. Any part is indispensable. Therefore, I will not do things that I praise and suppress at the same time. Do you understand, gentlemen? "


    "I understand!"


    When they heard the words, they answered with one voice.


    Liu Xiu continued: "Zhu Yu drowned himself. I am very sad. The matter of going to mourn and worship is left to the Iraqi people. Mr. Jibo, you go to the memorial ceremony in person to express your condolence for me. "


    "No!"


    Yi Ji bows to answer.


    After listening to this, Han Song felt lost.


    If Liu Xiu went to mourn in person, it would be different. Yi nationality represents Liu Xiu, which means that it''s just appeasement, nothing to be praised.


    After hearing this, Kuai Liang''s mouth rose slightly. No matter what Liu Xiu said, his final decision was to benefit the aristocratic family. After all, Liu Xiu had to rely on the aristocratic family.


    Liu Xiu continued: "in view of the situation that poor scholars can''t extend their ambition and talent. I have decided that I will start my career next month. ""This time, the examination will be conducted by the official himself. Anyone with lofty ideals can come to take the examination."


    "To start a career and win a scholar, no matter the poor scholars or the children of the aristocratic families, they can participate in it. The time of the examination shall be determined by the official before further notice. "


    "If a person passes the examination, he or she will be informed of the official positions he or she can hold."


    Liu Xiu said: "in this way, no matter the poor scholars or the children of the aristocratic family, they will have opportunities. What''s the fairest way to do that? "


    Yi Ji arched his hand and said, "my Lord is wise. I admire him. It is indeed the best and most just way to learn from others. For the poor scholars, it can also play a soothing role. Through the examination, we can also recruit talented talents. Lord, this is the real courteous corporal. "


    Yi Ji''s heart, incomparably admire Liu Xiu.


    Yi Ji didn''t know that what Liu Xiu had been thinking about before was just the matter of starting a scholar. Now Zhu Yu''s affair bumped into, happened to run into. Yi Ji also thought that Liu Xiu had come up with such a solution in a hurry, which was not bad.


    This method is exquisite.


    After hearing this, Kuai Liang was convinced and said, "I will obey the Lord''s arrangement."


    As for Liu Xiu''s arrangement, Kuai Liang had to say it was exquisite. This kind of means, like Liu Xiu''s setting up several military barracks in Jingzhou at the beginning, can easily solve the problem, which is amazing.


    Han Song arched his hand and said, "I admire your talent. With the Lord''s arrangement, the troublemakers will never make trouble again. "


    Han song is also glad that Liu Xiu has come up with such a way.


    Since then, the poor scholars in Jingzhou, or the poor scholars in other states, have also had opportunities.


    When Liu Xiu saw the praise, he knew that the decision was passed. Following the trend is the right way. Liu Xiu originally wanted to arrange the affairs of starting an academic career to win a scholar, but he happened to meet Zhu Yu.


    Liu xiudao: "Yi BIE Jia, Zhu Yu''s event, go to arrange immediately."


    "No!"


    Yi Ji arched his hand and said, "Lord, I''m leaving."


    "Step on it! Step on it


    At this time, a rush of footsteps came from outside the hall.


    Deng Zhan, dressed in a black robe with a sword hanging on his waist, quickly entered the hall and said, "Lord, just after receiving the news, Jiangdong''s team has entered Jiangxia county. Now I''m going west by boat, running to Xiangyang. "


    Liu Xiu said, "don''t drive, wait a minute!"


    "Lord!"


    Yi Ji grabbed him and bowed.


    Liu Xiu said: "Zhu Yu''s affairs should be dealt with as quickly as possible. And then, to get married. "


    "No!"


    Yi Ji nodded and then turned back.


    The rest of the officials saw that the matter was handled properly, and they did not stay, so they left the prefecture.


    Liu Xiu got up and went to the back yard. The closer he got married, the more worried he was about Huang Yueying. Although Huang Yueying didn''t say it, she was still understanding. But Liu Xiu must appease Huang Yueying, so that Huang Yueying''s heart has no burden, so he went directly to Huang Yueying''s yard.


    After Liu Xiu talked about sun Shangxiang, Huang Yueying didn''t have any mood swings. She just enjoyed the world with Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 394

    On September 19, Zhang Zhao and his party arrived in Xiangyang City.


    Zhang Zhao, sun Shangxiang and the rest of the entourage stayed in the post house, and then Zhang Zhao got up and went to the prefecture. Sun Shangxiang''s marriage to Liu Xiu has been agreed by both sides.


    However, if you want to get married, you have to discuss with Liu Xiu first.


    Prefecture, hall.


    Looking at the exhausted Zhang Zhao, Liu Xiu said, "Mr. Zibu has been working hard all the way."


    Zhang Zhao said: "thank you Liu Jingzhou for your concern. I''m old and not hard." As soon as the words changed, Zhang Zhao asked, "Liu Jingzhou, the wedding team has arrived in Xiangyang City. When are you going to get married?"


    Liu Xiu looked at Yi Ji sitting in the hall.


    When it comes to marriage and etiquette, Liu Xiu let Yi Ji handle it. The most important thing is that they are erudite, knowledgeable and have a clear understanding of the etiquette process.


    Liu Xiu was very relieved that he was from Iraq.


    Yi Ji took over and said, "Mr. Zhang, the time my lord chose is September 26. It''s an auspicious day. It''s a good time to get married. It is the most appropriate day for the Lord to win sun Shangxiang. "


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Zhao and asked, "Mr. Zibu, what do you think?"


    Zhang Zhao said, "Liu Jingzhou is considerate and will do what Liu Jingzhou wants."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "there are still a few days left. Mr. Zibu will have a rest in Xiangyang. When it''s time, I''ll send someone to inform Mr. Zibu. "


    Zhang Zhao said, "I''ll leave first."


    With that, Zhang Zhao turned and left.


    Liu Xiu looked at Yi Ji and said, "Mr. Ji Bo, everything is hard for you."


    "It''s a matter of humble duty."


    Yi Ji stood up and went to prepare for the wedding on September 26.


    ¡­¡­


    After returning to the post house, Zhang Zhao came to sun Shangxiang''s room.


    With a soft smile on his old face, Zhang Zhao said slowly, "Shang Xiang, I went to see Liu Xiu just now and set the time for my marriage. On September 26, Liu Xiu will marry you. "


    Sun Shangxiang said, "I know!"


    "Alas..."


    Zhang Zhao sighed and said, "don''t you know how to face Liu Xiu?"


    Sun Shangxiang''s body was shocked, and he soon regained his calm.


    Zhang Zhao continued: "things of the past have already gone with the wind. Now, Liu Jingzhou has become a herdsman in Jingzhou, and has already married. He didn''t care about the past. Why does the girl still live in the past? "


    "Now that we are about to marry Liu Xiu, why bother to think about the past?"


    "Now when you think about Jiangdong, you can only make yourself miserable."


    Zhang Zhao said earnestly: "what you are thinking about now is only one thing, that is, how to get a foothold in the prefecture and live a good life. You don''t have to worry about the rest. To live a good life is to be most responsible for yourself and to comfort your dead father and brother. "


    Sun Shangxiang looked at Zhang Zhao. His eyes were moist and full of tears.


    Zhang Zhao continued: "you are going to be a wife. Maybe soon, you will be a mother. Since he married Liu Xiu, he is a member of the Liu family. He will consider himself as Liu Xiu. "


    "A married daughter is like water thrown out. That''s the truth."


    "I shouldn''t have said that to you. I should advise you to help your elder brother after you marry Liu Xiu. But as the saying goes, since you marry Liu Xiu, you will be Liu Xiu''s man in your whole life. "


    Zhang Zhao said, "you don''t have to be involved in the affairs of Jiangdong and Jingzhou. What you have to do is very simple, that is to teach your husband and children. After marrying Liu Xiu, I''ll live a good life. "


    Drops of tears, from sun Shangxiang''s eyes, across the cheek, dripping on the clothes.


    Zhang Zhao reached out to wipe the tears from sun Shangxiang''s eyes and continued: "I have been trusted by Bo Fu and entrusted with important tasks. I have been following sun for more than ten years. I have watched you grow up."


    "Born in the family of the Marquis, I can''t help myself."


    "You''re still good now."


    "I see Liu Xiu as a man of unparalleled spirit, outstanding talent and ability."


    "In troubled times, you follow her, at least not in a precarious situation. and. Liu Xiu is young and promising. He is equal to you, and he doesn''t insult you. If there is no Liu Xiu, change to another person. Or, if Marquis Wu asks you to go to the northern Cao thief''s command to get married, your situation will be even worse. "


    Zhang Zhao laughed and said, "so it''s a good choice for you to marry Liu Xiu."


    "Perhaps, the sun clan, but also rely on you to be able to continue."


    "Miss Shangxiang, it''s useless to think about anything at this stage. Why not accept it generously instead of contradicting it in your heart? "


    "Let yourself feel better and let Liu Xiu accept you better.""It''s the most unwise way to be angry with yourself."


    "I''ve lived most of my life and seen countless things. In my opinion, you are lucky to marry Liu Xiu. "


    Zhang Zhao once again said: "the war between Jingzhou and Jiangdong in the future is not something you can intervene in, not something you should consider. As a man and wife, you just need to teach your husband and children, not to make trouble for Liu Xiu in the backyard. "


    Sun Shangxiang solemnly said, "the teachings of Duke Zhang are remembered by Shangxiang."


    Zhang Zhao said: "just understand. September 26 is the time to get married. Now, you can adjust your state and wait for the day when you get married


    "Yes


    After sun Shangxiang was enlightened, he felt much better.


    Time is like running water. September 26 will come in a twinkling of an eye.


    Compared with Huang Yueying, sun Shangxiang directly put on the Phoenix Xiaguan, put on the festive Dahongpao, and then was sent to the room in the yard, no worship heaven and earth, no visit to the high hall and so on.


    Huang Yueying is the order of her parents and the words of the matchmaker. She is the real wife of the matchmaker.


    Naturally, there''s a whole range of etiquette.


    Sun Shangxiang married here. It was a concubine''s room. It should be simple and there was nothing.


    The only one is that Liu Xiu set up a banquet in the prefecture and announced that he married sun Shangxiang. The only officials involved were those from Jiangdong who saw off their relatives and those from Yi Ji and Kuai Liang who stayed in Xiangyang.


    None of the chief generals or divisions of the first, second, third, fourth or fifth armies came back.


    The prefects of the counties also did not participate.


    Relatively speaking, the marriage was rather crude.


    But Zhang Zhao didn''t care. As long as Liu Xiu married sun Shangxiang, all this would be finished.


    The banquet was lively.


    For the time being, the officials of jiangzhan and Jingzhou had a tacit understanding of each other. The atmosphere of the banquet was quite warm.


    It''s late at night when the banquet is over.


    After Zhang Zhao and Jiangdong officials left, Kuai Liang, Yi Ji, Pang Tong and others left one after another.


    Liu Xiu was very drunk, but he didn''t get drunk. Liu Xiu asked the housekeeper to clean up. Under the leadership of Deng AI, he went to the back yard.


    Deng AI followed Liu Xiu. Seeing that he was going in the wrong direction, he said, "young master, this is the yard of the first lady. Don''t you go to the yard of the second lady at night?"


    In Deng AI''s eyes, Huang Yueying is the first lady and sun Shangxiang is the second.


    Liu Xiu glared at Deng AI and said, "you are a busy boy. It''s late at night. You can go back and have a rest. I''ll handle my affairs well."


    Deng AI said, "I''ll take you to the big lady''s yard and go back to rest."


    Liu Xiu didn''t persuade him. When he arrived at Huang Yueying''s yard, Deng AI left.


    When Liu Xiu enters the yard, the maid beside Huang Yueying immediately finds out and tells Huang Yueying. At this time, Huang Yueying is three months pregnant, and her stomach begins to show her bosom.


    When she saw Liu Xiu coming, she quickly welcomed him into the room.


    Smell Liu Xiu full of wine, Huang Yueying to a cup of tea, let Liu Xiu drink sober up, and then said: "husband, today is the day of marriage, how come to concubine body here."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "you know, marrying sun Shangxiang is just a marriage with Jiangdong. I''ll stay with you tonight. "


    When Huang Yueying heard the speech, she was in a sweet mood.


    Originally, Liu Xiu took his concubine. Even though Huang Yueying knew it was impossible to stop it, she also acquiesced in it. There was always a knot in her heart. Now, after listening to Liu Xiu''s words, a trace of depression in his heart was thrown directly out of the sky.


    Huang Yueying shook her head and said, "husband, don''t be a child. Although it was a marriage, sun Shangxiang entered the Liu family and was the woman of the Liu family. No matter what she used to be or what she used to be, now she has only one identity, your woman. "


    "My husband is a man of indomitable spirit. Is he going to be angry with a woman? To embarrass a woman? I also thought about her situation. She, a woman from Jiangdong, came to Jingzhou alone, and because of marriage, it must not be easy. "


    Huang Yueying said: "husband, today is a happy day. Don''t be a child. It''s enough for me to know that my husband''s heart is here. Besides, I''m pregnant and I can''t serve my husband. Come on, don''t delay


    Liu Xiu wants to talk, but Huang Yueying pushes him out of the yard.


    The servant girl stood beside Huang Yueying and watched Liu Xiu''s back disappear. She said, "madam, when you come to the yard, how can you let him leave?"


    Huang Yueying''s face, with a look of happiness, slowly said: "this person, you have to be content and understand each other. My husband has his difficulties. It''s enough for him to come here. It''s enough that he treats me like this


    The maid didn''t know the meaning of Huang Yueying''s words.

 Chapter 395

    Sun Shangxiang sat on the bed, his expression changed from the initial expectation to waiting, then became stiff and helpless.


    She sat in the room and could hear the sound of the front yard.


    I think the banquet is still going on.


    With the passage of time, Liu Xiu did not come, her heart gradually anxious.


    "Gulu!"


    In my stomach, I started to protest.


    Sun Shangxiang was taken to his room in the evening. It''s late at night now, and she hasn''t got a grain of rice. You can imagine it in her stomach. She listened attentively, and saw that there was no sound in the front yard, thinking that it was almost coming.


    But after waiting for a long time, no one came.


    Sun Shangxiang''s heart, suddenly thought of a possibility, Liu Xiugen did not intend to come to her yard, must be to find Huang Yueying. If so, what should she do?


    Thinking about this, sun Shangxiang was worried.


    Mood, also more depressed.


    Leaving Jiangdong and marrying Jingzhou is a helpless thing for sun Shangxiang.


    If Liu Xiu completely ignores her, it means that she is completely isolated.


    "Alas,..."


    Sun Shangxiang sighed, and his face showed an expression of recognition.


    At this point, she is Liu Xiu''s woman and can no longer resist.


    "Father, brother, I miss you so much."


    In sun Shangxiang''s heart, he suddenly missed Sun Jian and sun CE.


    She is the only daughter of the sun family. It can be said that she is the apple of the sun family''s eye and is very popular. Her father Sun Jian, elder brother sun CE, and uncle Sun Jing all dote on her.


    Now, her situation is extremely embarrassing.


    All of a sudden, sun Shangxiang''s ears moved twice, and a look of hope rose in his eyes.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    The sound of footsteps came from far and near.


    Sun Shangxiang has been practicing martial arts since she was young, and her ears are very good. She listens to the footsteps gradually approaching, then enters the yard, and then comes to the door of the room, her heart beating.


    Here we go!


    It must be Liu Xiu!


    Sun Shangxiang was shy and didn''t know how to face it, but he was relieved.


    After all, Liu Xiu didn''t ignore her.


    "Creak!"


    The door was pushed open and Liu Xiu strode in. After Liu Xiu, there was a servant. In his hand, the attendant held a plate with two bowls on it.


    The strong aroma of rice and meat is lingering in the room.


    "Gudong!"


    Sun Shangxiang swallowed his saliva, and his mouth moved. He swallowed his saliva, and his stomach was growling.


    Liu Xiu took the plate and said, "go down!"


    "No!"


    After Liu Xiu entered the room, he closed the door and walked out.


    Liu Xiu put the plate on the table in his room and said, "I''m hungry. After the guests left, I went to the kitchen and asked someone to take a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables. There''s no soup, so you''ll make do with it. "


    When Liu Xiu spoke, sun Shangxiang''s eyes became moist.


    Liu xiudao: "what''s the matter? Eat it. "


    Sun Shangxiang smile, in an instant, like flowers in full bloom. She went to the table, sat down and said, "thank you, my husband."


    Married to Liu Xiu, her name has changed.


    Moreover, sun Shangxiang thought Liu Xiu would neglect her, but considering that she didn''t have dinner in the evening, he went to the kitchen and asked someone to prepare the food. No matter what Liu Xiu did to her, sun Shangxiang was moved by this thought.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "eat quickly. It''s not good if it''s cold."


    "Well!"


    Sun Shangxiang''s appetite is really good.


    If compared with Huang Yueying, three Huang Yueying may not be as good as sun Shangxiang.


    After all, sun Shangxiang is a martial arts practitioner and has a large appetite.


    A bowl of rice and a bowl of meat all into sun Shangxiang''s stomach, she was satisfied with the long relief. However, there was a flicker in her eyes when she looked at Liu Xiu, as if she did not dare to face Liu Xiu.


    Knowing sun Shangxiang''s thoughts, Liu Xiu enlightened him and said, "a year ago, you were captured by Huang Zhong and became my prisoner. A year later, you became my woman again. Shang Xiang, do you think it''s fate? "


    Jokingly, sun Shangxiang could not help but say: "where is such a fate? The change from a captive to a husband''s woman is too great. "


    Liu xiudao: "change is talent, this is opportunity."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "I know you must be uncomfortable when you marry in Jingzhou. But no matter what, it''s already done and can''t be changed any more. "


    "When you get to your house, you can do whatever you want. Don''t be constrained."


    "Yueying is easy to get along with. You don''t have to worry about it.""As far as I am concerned, since you have become my woman and a member of the Liu family, I will treat you well."


    Liu Xiu solemnly said: "the past things, the past identity, the past, let it go with the wind. From today on, you are just Liu Xiu''s woman, just Liu family''s woman, you know? "


    These words were introduced into sun Shangxiang''s ears. He was overbearing and powerful, but he was steadfast in his heart.


    In sun Shangxiang''s view, this is Liu Xiu and her heart. At the same time, sun Shangxiang also understood that Liu Xiu had drawn the line for her, because since then, she was only Liu Xiu''s woman, no longer a member of the sun family, and could no longer work for the sun family.


    Sun Shangxiang was happy and said, "I will obey my husband''s arrangement."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Shangxiang, eat and drink enough, now have strength, is it time to go to bed."


    Sun Shangxiang''s face turned red when he heard the speech.


    Before, in the post house, there was an old lady who taught her what to do when she got married. Thinking of what happened between the man and the woman, sun Shangxiang, a martial arts woman, couldn''t help being coy.


    Sun Shangxiang took a deep breath, calmed himself down and said, "husband, I will undress you."


    Liu xiudao: "what kind of clothes are you wearing? Here I am."


    As the voice dropped, Liu Xiu picked up sun Shangxiang and strode to the bed


    The red candle flickers and the clothes fly.


    In the room, a burst of beautiful, only a faint gasp.


    I do not know when, calm, all the voices stopped, all quiet down.


    Liu Xiu hugged sun Shangxiang, said some private words, and then fell asleep. Sun Shangxiang nestles next to Liu Xiu. She has a taste of cloud rain for the first time. Her body is a little uncomfortable, and her face is still a little red.


    Relying on Liu Xiu, her mind is full of thoughts.


    A floating heart in the air, has landed, settled down.


    Since then, she has been Liu Xiu''s woman.


    Since then, she has been a member of the Liu family.


    As Liu Xiu said, everything in the past, past identity, is the smoke of the past. At this time, her life has turned the chapter and entered the next page.


    Sun Shangxiang fell asleep. When he woke up the next morning and had breakfast after washing, Zhang Zhao and his party came to say goodbye. Liu Xiu and sun Shangxiang personally sent Zhang Zhao to the gate of zhoumu Prefecture before returning.


    Liu Xiu said, "Shangxiang, Yueying is in the backyard. Please look for Yueying. I have government affairs to deal with. I''ll go back to the library. "


    "Well!"


    Sun Shangxiang nodded. She had just entered the prefecture. After her marriage yesterday, she was sure to meet Huang Yueying today.


    Otherwise, it''s against the rules.


    Liu Xiu watched sun Shangxiang go to the backyard and then go back to his study.


    Next, it''s the matter of starting a scholar and lumen Academy. This is not only the foundation of Jingzhou''s rise in the next stage, but also the process that must be experienced.

 Chapter 396

    Xu county, Prime Minister''s residence.


    Hall!


    Cao Cao and Jia Xu sat opposite each other.


    Jia Xuduan sat down and said: "prime minister, just received the news from Jingzhou, Jiangdong asked Jingzhou for peace. In order to resolve the conflict, Sun Quan married sun Shangxiang to Liu Xiu to stop the war between the two sides. "


    After hearing this, Cao Cao frowned.


    During this period, Cao Cao''s life was rather difficult.


    There were rebellions in various states and counties, so that Cao Cao constantly sent troops to collect them.


    Moreover, he lost 200000 troops in Deng County before, which also had a great impact on Cao Cao. As a result, Cao Cao is now in a very difficult situation, which can be described as internal and external troubles.


    Inside, the emperor wanted to publicize his majesty from time to time. Outside, there were thieves and bandits who didn''t obey Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao looked serious and said, "at first, Zhong De said that Sun Quan was a minister to me, but there was no news behind. Now, how could Sun Quan suddenly ask Liu Xiuhe for peace? "


    Jia Xu laughed and replied, "prime minister, Sun Quan is seeking peace, but he is not really seeking peace. Sun Quan is not so easy to admit defeat. The reason why he did this is to postpone the relationship, accumulate strength and fight back at one stroke. "


    After listening, Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "if so, it''s not bad. However, Sun Quan''s pursuit of peace, according to the prime minister, is a bargain for Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu has gone through a series of wars, and I''m afraid Jingzhou is also quite tired. He can''t wait for the war to take a breath. "


    Jia Xu said: "the prime minister is wise!"


    Cao Cao asked again, "is there any news from Jingzhou?"


    Jia Xu said: "in response to the prime minister, Liu Xiu accepted Zhang Zhongjing, a famous Nanyang doctor, and opened a hospital in Xiangyang."


    "Hospital, what is a hospital?"


    Cao Cao was curious. What did Liu Xiu do?


    Jia Xu explained: "the hospital Liu Xiu opened is equivalent to the imperial edict of Shaofu. However, the imperial edict specially treats the emperor and belongs to the imperial doctor. Liu Xiu opened a wide range of hospitals and called many doctors to see the sick people. "


    "The most important thing is that hospitals are cheaper and more effective than hospitals."


    "Reasonably speaking, Liu Xiu''s move should be resisted by the hospital. So much so that most of the doctors in Xiangyang went to the hospital to be doctors


    Jia Xu said: "Zhang Zhongjing, in particular, was in Xiangyang hospital, which made the hospital very famous. Many people who were ill in the North went to Xiangyang to see a doctor. The prime minister, the hospital set up by Liu Xiu, has a great influence. "


    Cao Cao asked: "Wenhe, Liu Xiu can set up a hospital. Can we also set up a hospital in Xu county? We can even set up hospitals in other places. "


    After hearing this, Jia Xu shook his head and said, "prime minister, I have considered this problem, but I find it very difficult. Do you know how many Mu Liu Xiu''s Hospital covers? "


    Cao Cao asked, "how much?"


    Jia Xu replied, "it covers an area of 20 mu."


    "Hiss!"


    Cao Cao took a cold breath and was shocked.


    It covers an area of 20 mu, which is not a small number.


    Jia Xu said: "the Xiangyang hospital under Liu Xiu covers an area of 20 mu. If the Lord wants to build a hospital, he can''t copy his example and build a hospital with several mu? If that''s the case, you can''t be laughed at. If it''s bigger, it''s going to have to build a lot of buildings and consume a lot of money. "


    "What''s more, it''s a huge expense to recruit doctors and run hospitals."


    "In fact, it can be done. Once it is done, I am afraid that I will be attacked by the Minister of the DPRK. At that time, the prime minister will be in a lot of trouble. "


    Jia Xu now feels that there is a lot of trouble in taking advantage of the emperor to make princes.


    There are advantages and disadvantages.


    After hearing this, Cao Cao could not help sighing and said, "if that''s the case, it''s OK. You should pay close attention to the situation in Jingzhou and report it as soon as you have a situation. "


    "No!"


    Jia Xu nodded, ready to leave.


    Cao Cao suddenly said, "Wen he, there is a problem in the court. Can Wen he have a solution?"


    Although Cao Cao killed a number of people and suppressed the voice of opposition, there were always voices against Cao Cao in the imperial court. In this regard, Cao Cao became more and more impatient, unwilling to delay in these things.


    Jia Xu said: "prime minister, if you want to plan big things, you can''t be tired of fame. What''s more, will the princes of the world obey the prime minister''s instructions because he treats the emperor well and respects him? After all, it depends on the prime minister''s strength. Therefore, I believe that if you should kill, you should use heavy allusions in troubled times. I believe the prime minister understands this. "


    After hearing this, Cao Cao understood it in his heart.


    Kill when you should!


    Yeah, it''s time to clean up.


    For a long time, although Cao Cao cleaned out some of the officials in the court, in fact, Cao Cao stayed on the front line and did not want to do anything. Now Liu Xiu''s rapid rise makes Cao Cao feel threatened.Under such circumstances, Cao Cao did not want to spend more time on the struggle between the court and the government.


    Cao Cao called Cheng Yu and gave orders.


    For a time, there was a lot of blood in the city of Xu county, but all the ministers who stood on Liu Xie''s side, either demoted or killed, were purged and replaced by Cao Cao''s people.


    No one in the whole court is loyal to the emperor.


    After the fall of his father-in-law, they all returned home, no longer involved in government affairs.


    Cao Cao''s action caused a great disturbance, but Cao Cao quickly suppressed the situation.


    For a time, the evaluation of Cao Cao among scholars was even worse, but Cao Cao went his own way and was not afraid of the criticism of scholars. Although Cao Cao''s reputation is worse, but Cao Cao is more handy.


    ¡­¡­


    Chai sang, Liu Bei''s barracks.


    Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are sitting opposite each other. They are discussing political affairs.


    Liu Bei said: "Kong Ming, Liu Xiu has been married to Jiangdong. Now, Sun Quan has stopped attacking Jingzhou for the time being. When do you predict that Sun Quan will start his counterattack? "


    Liu Bei knew the reason for Sun Quan''s marriage.


    Zhuge Liang said: "at most one and a half years, at least one year, we will attack Jingzhou. The reason for Sun Quan''s temporary suspension is that he has suffered serious losses due to continuous battles. Whether he is a soldier, a general or a material, he needs a stage of adjustment. "


    Liu Bei asked: "we are now dependent on others, and the expansion of our forces is limited. Even if we expand, it is very difficult because the grain is controlled by Sun Quan. Kong Ming, in my opinion, this is not a long-term solution. "


    Zhuge Liang said: "my Lord, I have also considered this situation. I''m afraid it''s very difficult for us to rely on Sun Quan to defeat Liu Xiu. Moreover, the Lord wants to attack Jiangxia, but it is not easy for Liu Xiu to station the Fourth Army in Jiangxia. "


    Liu Bei asked, "does Kong Ming have any strategies?"


    Zhuge Liang replied: "in the past, the Wengong of Jin state was born out of his ears. Only in this way can he achieve a great success. I think that the Lord should also take the initiative to open up his own foundation and stay in Chaisang. It''s not a long-term solution. "


    Liu Bei said: "according to the plan you made before, you are planning to plan Yizhou. But now, it is quite difficult to enter Yizhou. Moreover, Yizhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We are short of troops. It is also very difficult to defeat Liu Zhang. "


    Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "my Lord is right. At present, this is the case. So I adjusted my strategy. In my opinion, the Lord should serve as a soldier in Jiaozhou. "


    "Jiaozhou?"


    Liu Bei frowned and said, "I''m afraid Jiaozhou''s barren land is not good."


    Zhuge Liang said: "the so-called barrenness is only due to insufficient reclamation. I have carefully examined the situation of Jiaozhou. Jiaozhou now has local forces, some of Liu Xiu''s forces, and even some of Sun Quan''s forces. "


    "Under such circumstances, the Lord has great potential."


    "If you go to Jingzhou, you can build up your own strength. Moreover, Sun Quan would be happy to see it succeed if he laid a foundation in Jiaozhou. After all, the two families attacking Liu Xiu together can relieve the pressure of Sun Quan. "


    Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said, "so I think the Lord can go to Wu county to visit Sun Quan, ask Sun Quan to support 5000 soldiers and grain, and then go south to Jiaozhou to open up a new situation. In my opinion, Sun Quan will not object. "


    After hearing this, Liu Bei looked excited in his eyes.


    This strategy is really good.


    Liu Bei didn''t have any hesitation. He said with a straight face: "military strategist, follow your plan. Let''s go to Wu County. "


    "Yes


    Zhuge Liang nodded and looked forward to it.

 Chapter 397

    Xiangyang, Nancheng.


    "Dang! Dang! Dang


    All of a sudden, the penetrating gong sounded in the street.


    Three yamen officers, walking on the official road.


    Among them, the Yamen servants walking in the front are holding a notice, while the two yamen servants behind are beating with gongs.


    "On October 18, the governor of zhoumu began to recruit talents."


    When the Gong stopped, the three of them yelled.


    "Dang! Dang! Dang


    After the sound of the Gong, the three began to roar: "on October 18, the governor of zhoumu began to recruit talents."


    With the roar of the Yamen and the sound of the Gong, it has attracted the attention of countless people.


    When many people and scholars heard this, they were moved by the news and followed closely. When the people asked, it was a pity that the Yamen officer did not answer at all, but went straight to the south gate. So many people and scholars who followed the Yamen were thinking, what''s the matter?


    What''s the move of the prefecture?


    For the people in Xiangyang, the opening of Xiangyang hospital makes people very happy.


    Many poor people suffer from wind cold and brain heat by themselves, or they take some herbs by themselves, but the effect is very poor, not obvious at all. With the opening of Xiangyang hospital, countless people enjoy the benefits.


    The people are even more grateful to Liu Xiu.


    Today, the State animal husbandry government has attracted countless people if it wants to start a career.


    At the gate of the city, the Yamen put up the notice and left quickly. Countless people and scholars gathered around and looked around to see what the news was.


    "Get out of the way, everybody. I know the words. Let me do it."


    "I also know words. Let me read them. Don''t get in my way."


    "A scholar must be a scholar. Those who don''t know the words should get out of the way. Don''t be in front of me."


    Many people pushed forward one after another. The last one, who was strong but in a long robe, rushed to the front. Then he stood under the notice and roared, "be quiet!"


    With a loud roar, the surrounding area became quiet.


    As he was pushing the taxi forward, he had to curse a few times, then stopped and stopped to rush forward.


    Shi Zilang said in a voice: "now listen to me. Don''t interrupt."


    At present, Shi Zi began to read the notice one by one.


    The content of this notice is very simple, stating that regardless of origin, only talent and learning are concerned. All scholars can take part in the examination organized by Jingzhou on October 18. Those who want to take part should register at the county government before October 17, and then take part in the examination in the military camp of Xiangyang City on October 18.


    In addition to this content, Liu Xiu also posted the official positions held by the personnel who passed the assessment. From the documents of the prefectural and pastoral government, to the chief of Xiangyang County, to the meritorious officers, and even some military positions, all of them are real power positions.


    Of course, the most important thing is the official position offered by the prefecture.


    Once you enter the prefecture, you will reach the sky step by step.


    This news immediately triggered numerous discussions.


    Xiangyang City''s East, South, West and North pools are all talking about. For all the poor scholars, this is a great opportunity. After studying hard for decades, I finally have the chance to ascend to heaven.


    For the children of the aristocratic family, it is also an opportunity.


    Not most of the people in the aristocratic family have the opportunity to recruit and examine. Now they have another way, and they are very excited.


    Moreover, the major families in Jingzhou, especially the Kuai family, the Huang family and the Pang family, did not express their opinions. Therefore, there was no resistance to the introduction of scholars and soon began to spread.


    One day, the news has spread to the surrounding Zhonglu county and Yicheng County.


    Deng county and Chaoyang County in the north also got the news.


    News is constantly fermenting, and more and more people come to Xiangyang for the posts posted on the list.


    Zhou Mu Fu, Liu Xiu, Yi Ji, Kuai Liang and Pang Tong are deliberating.


    With expectation in his eyes, Liu Xiu asked, "Mr. Ji Bo, how is the matter going


    Yi Ji replied: "return to my Lord, everything is going on in an orderly way. Now the only problem is that because of the success of science and technology, countless people have come to Xiangyang City, and the situation is not easy to control. "


    Kuai Liang said: "my Lord has really played a role in recruiting talents. Today, countless people have gathered here. Among them, there must be countless talents. "


    After listening, Liu Xiu called Deng Zhan.


    Liu Xiu said: "on the face of it, Xiangyang County Magistrate is responsible for public security and maintaining order in Xiangyang City. This is an extraordinary period. The royal guards under your command must work hard to prevent accidents. We must pay attention to those who are suspicious. "


    "Don''t worry, my Lord. I''ve transferred all the royal guards and put them in Xiangyang City to ensure no accident."Deng Zhan knows that this time is very important, and he is also going all out.


    For the royal guards, this is a great test.


    Liu Xiu nodded his head with satisfaction and said: "there is still a period of time. Mr. Ji Bo and Mr. Zi Rou must not relax. In addition, let''s see if there are more vacancies. At that time, as long as they are talents, they can be selected at the same time. "


    Yi Ji and Kuai Liang nodded. They were very busy and tired because of their career.


    Yi Ji changed the subject and said, "Lord, there is another important problem. The examination of a successful scholar. Since the Lord wants to examine, how should he examine it? "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "before October 18, I will think about the examination questions. At that time, I will announce it at the place of assessment. Since we have to assess, we have to test our level. We can''t let people muddle through easily. "


    Seeing this, Yi Ji understood that Liu Xiu was well-established and would not ask again.


    After everyone left, Liu Xiu went back to his study.


    Liu Xiu took out the paper and pen and began to conceive the examination questions.


    Liu Xiu has already considered the final question: where is Jingzhou road? This is a subjective question. The question is very broad. You can answer it from any direction.


    However, although this question is easy to answer, it is difficult to reach a standard. It is the worst to answer, because it is not so easy to be comprehensive or to reach a standard.


    In addition, Liu Xiu chose an arithmetic problem.


    In this era, mathematics has long been mature, arithmetic is a normal subject. Liu Xiu''s assessment of arithmetic is the basic skill and the most basic thing.


    Then, there are those related to criminal law, military science and government affairs


    Liu Xiu''s examination questions are not the most difficult, but very comprehensive.


    Liu Xiu combed all the topics, wrote down an outline, and put it down for the time being. He still has enough time to supplement and improve gradually.


    In short, it should be completed before October 18, which is enough.


    Time is like running water. As countless people in Xiangyang City are boiling, October 18 is approaching.


    At this time, the number of applicants is finally cut off.


    On the evening of October 17, Yi Ji took the total number of Xiangyang County Magistrate. After Liu Xiu saw it, he was startled. The number of applicants was 15000.


    There are more than 15000 people, which is a terrible number.


    Perhaps in later generations, more than 10000 candidates are a very common number. But in this era, there are only a few taxis who can read and read. But now more than 10000 people suddenly appeared, and Liu Xiu was shocked.


    When Liu Xiu was surprised, he was also happy.


    More than 10000 people!


    Even if it''s one in a hundred, it can pick out more than 100 people. These people can enrich Liu Xiu''s officials. In particular, these people were selected by Liu Xiu, who gave them the opportunity to be more loyal to Liu Xiu.


    By doing so, the influence of the aristocratic family can be greatly weakened.


    Liu Xiu looked at Yi Ji and said, "Mr. Ji Bo, let the barracks vacate the school yard all night long and build a grass shed. Tomorrow morning, we will examine in the school yard."


    "No!"


    Yi Ji nodded and turned to leave.

 Chapter 398

    Barracks, school grounds.


    Yi Ji arrived at the military camp and commandeered all the schools in the camp. At the same time, with the help of Huang Hu and Sha Moke, they dispatched soldiers to set up tables in the wide school yard.


    A school field everywhere, set up a desk and ink paper inkstone.


    In addition, a wall made of Artemisia was built on the edge of the school yard to avoid the cold wind.


    In order to prevent heavy rain, we built a straw shed in the school yard.


    The whole school yard became a simple house.


    After finishing all this, Yi Ji still didn''t have a rest. He dispatched soldiers to move braziers one by one and put them in the school yard. When the exam starts tomorrow, light the coals in the brazier to disperse the cold.


    It can be said that Yi Ji has taken all aspects into consideration for reference.


    On the morning of October 18, the sky was clear.


    The sun of early winter has already come to the Earth early and burst out a brilliant light.


    The whole Xiangyang City is bathed in the golden sunshine.


    At the gate of the barracks, the soldiers were in strict formation.


    One by one, there is a long line of taxis for reference.


    After only one hour''s sleep, Yi Ji got up again. Early in the barracks door waiting, he looked at the taxi line, waiting quietly. The time to enter the examination room is set at 2:15 in the morning.


    When the time comes, there will be a bell.


    Yi Ji ordered: "candidates line up, silence, with the number of admission, the number of seats."


    Before that, when all the people went to Xiangyang County to register, they got a wooden card as proof of identity. Now everyone enters the stadium with their own wooden cards. Under the guidance of the soldiers, they quickly find their corresponding numbers and take their seats.


    Fortunately, this is a military camp. The reference taxis are silent, and everything goes on in an orderly way.


    Two quarters of an hour later, all 15000 people entered the school yard and took their seats.


    In every school yard, there are generals in the army who check everyone''s seat number and brand number to make sure they are correct.


    Liu Xiu also appeared in the barracks. He looked at all this, but he was thinking about the loopholes.


    For example, whether there will be a substitute for entrance examination depending on the brand, but this is the first time, so it is not easy to have a substitute. But once the rules are familiar, they may be used. So it''s obviously unreasonable to enter by number alone.


    In the future, this is what needs to be improved.


    Moreover, the location of the examination can not always be in the military camp. It is too scattered and the environment is relatively poor.


    In the future, we need to unify the examination and set up a special examination center.


    Yi Ji came to Liu Xiu and reported: "Lord, all the reference taxis are in place. Now, we can start to publish the test questions. "


    Liu Xiu took out a piece of paper, handed it to Yi Ji and said, "there are five questions. The first four questions are announced in the morning, and the time is two hours. Where is Jingzhou road? It will be announced in the afternoon, and the time is still two hours. "


    "No!"


    Yi Ji De Ling turned and left in a hurry.


    Yi Ji quickly summoned the leaders of all schools to copy out the four questions and let them be published. Yi Ji looked at the four questions, eyes also narrowed up, thinking in the heart.


    How to deal with the locust disaster in Xiangyang?


    The second question, Xiangyang east city, there is an old man addicted to gambling, his wife persuasion, was killed by the old man. How to deal with the failure of the son''s persuasion to kill the old man?


    The third question is that there is a mountain named Wulong in the east of Xiangyang, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. How can we eliminate the mountain bandits?


    The fourth question, there are pheasants and rabbits in the same cage. There are 35 on the top and 94 on the bottom. How many are the pheasants and rabbits?


    Four questions, different directions.


    After reading these four questions, Yi Ji shook his head gently. The four questions seem simple, but they are not so easy to deal with. Especially the fifth question, which will be examined in the afternoon, is a long game theory, which is more about the control of the current situation, the analysis of the context of the situation, and more about the talent of the examination.


    After the announcement of the four questions in the morning, there was silence in each school.


    Every taxi is thinking hard.


    Liao Hua sits cross legged. He looks at the four questions he has written down. He slowly grinds and is not in a hurry to answer them. In his early twenties, he was born with a dignified appearance and a broad sword eyebrow. Liao Hua was born in Zhonglu county and also a poor scholar.


    In the past, Liu Bei divided his forces to attack Zhonglu county. Liao Hua once suggested that the then Zhonglu county magistrate falsely surrender, and then plot to fight back against Liu Bei''s army.


    However, if the other party didn''t adopt it, Liao Hua didn''t intervene and simply studied behind closed doors.


    Learning that Liu Xiu was a scholar, Liao Hua was excited and saw the opportunity. He was born in a poor family, and no one recommended him. It was almost impossible for him to become an official directly. Now that he had the opportunity, his heart was also a burst of joy.


    However, sitting in the school yard, Liao Hua''s heart is more and more calm.


    No sorrow, no joy!


    Emotional, very stable.


    When he was polishing, Liao Hua was thinking about how to answer these four questions.A quarter of an hour later, the ink in the inkstone had completely melted away. Liao Hua reached for a nearby brazier and warmed his hand. Then he dipped his pen in the ink, took the draft paper and began to write the first draft.


    In Liao Hua''s view, when encountering locust plague, it''s not as simple as putting out the locust plague or simply handling it.


    Liao Hua elaborated step by step from stabilizing the situation, to appeasing the people, to solving the locust disaster, and then to dealing with the post disaster.


    When the draft was finished, he let out a long sigh of relief.


    Looking up, I suddenly found a young man in splendid clothes standing beside him. Looking at the youth''s age and dress, Liao Hua''s heart fluttered.


    Liu Xiu!


    Liu Jingzhou!


    Liao Hua put down his pen, nodded his head and continued to write.


    Liu Xiu naturally saw Liao Hua''s name. He didn''t expect to hang out in the examination room and met Liao Hua. As the saying goes, there is no great general Liao Hua in Shu as a pioneer, but it doesn''t mean that Liao Hua has no ability.


    On the contrary, Liao Hua was bold, not only a counselor, but also a military general.


    Liu Xiu secretly wrote down Liao Hua in his heart. Naturally, such talents cannot be let go.


    Liu Gang wrote the draft again, and Liu xiuhuan did it very well. From the beginning to the end of the whole locust disaster, every link was handled perfectly.


    Liu Xiu was also very satisfied with the result.


    "Yes, I''ll take care of you."


    Having said that, Liu Xiu left straight away.


    When Liao Hua hears the speech, he is excited. He looks at Liu Xiu''s back after he leaves, and then he writes hard.


    Liu Xiu made an inspection tour around the school grounds. After walking around a few times, he really saw several people who existed in history.


    In addition to Liao Hua, there are Huo Jun and Yang Shu.


    Huo Jun, whose name is Zhongmiao, was born in Zhijiang, Nanjun county. Huo Du, Huo Jun''s elder brother, once called together the family members in the village to form a military force. He became a brave villager to resist thieves and bandits, which was praised by Liu Biao. However, he did not become an official.


    After Huo Du died, Huo Jun inherited the team.


    In history, after Liu Biao died of illness, people under Huo Jun''s Command surrendered to Liu Bei.


    This life, Liu Bei failed to enter Jingzhou, Huo Jun is still in Zhijiang hometown. He also learned the news of Liu Xiu''s success, and then quickly came to Xiangyang and signed up to participate.


    In history, Huo Jun''s most famous campaign was stationed in Jiameng county.


    In the 17th year of Jian''an, Liu Bei went to Jiameng and prepared to return to attack Liu Zhang, leaving Huo Jun to guard Jiameng city. After Zhang Lu learned the news, he sent Yang Bo to persuade Huo Jun to defend the city together with Huo Jun, and then he tried to seize Jiameng, which eventually failed.


    Later, Liu Zhang sent generals such as Fu Jin and Xiang Cun to lead more than ten thousand soldiers to attack Jiameng from langshui. At that time, Huo Jun led his soldiers to stick to Jiameng city and resisted it for a year.


    In the end, there were only a few hundred of Huo Jun''s soldiers left. But Huo Jun didn''t give up. When Liu Zhang''s army was tired, he led the army to attack, defeated Liu Zhang''s army and killed Xiang Cun''s head.


    Compared with Huo Jun, Yang is not simple.


    Yang Jia, zizhao, a native of Xiangyang, was born in a poor family.


    In history, Yang Shu''s official position is not low. He once served as the prefect of Bajun, and finally as the prime minister''s chief clerk. He is Zhuge Liang''s confidant. He once advised Zhuge Liang not to do things by himself. After hearing this, Zhuge Liang also respected Yang Shu very much.


    Liu Xiu''s heart was filled with joy when they took part in the exam.


    The rest of the people, Liu Xiu walked around, and hardly knew anyone.


    At least, there are three big fish.


    Liu Xiu also believes that not all the people who are famous in history are really talented. There are also many people who are buried in history and not recorded in the annals of history.

 Chapter 399

    In the morning exam, no one handed in their papers in advance.


    When Liu Xiu inspected, he found that most of the people were stuck in the fourth magic number.


    The topic of "chicken and rabbit in the same cage" is a topic in Sunzi Suanjing. This book was written in the northern and Southern Dynasties, more than 200 years later. In this era, if you know the number of skills, you can find a way to solve this problem. If you don''t know the number of skills, it will be difficult.


    Therefore, it is this question that many people are hesitant about.


    By the time the paper was handed in, there were still countless taxis that could not give an answer, and they could only be empty in the end. Because you can''t calculate it, you can''t give an accurate answer.


    There are also some people who give the right answer, but there are no steps. Because this answer is a hypothesis one by one, and then test the answer up.


    Very few people have come to the real answer.


    From the examination room, all the people were talking and waiting to leave.


    After Liao Hua, Huo Jun and Yang Yu left, they went back to their resting place to prepare for the test in the afternoon.


    Test in the afternoon, on time.


    Where is Jingzhou road?


    This question is easy to answer, but if you want to answer it in depth, it is not easy. Two hours of time, one by one is to write hard, to write their own ideas in the manuscript.


    Two hours after the test, everyone''s papers were collected, and the reference taxis were all scattered.


    Five days!


    All taxis need to wait for five days. After five days, the list will be released and the candidates will be announced.


    For Shizi, these five days are waiting and suffering, but for Yi Ji, Kuai Liang and other officials, they are already very busy. Because Liu Xiu handed over all the examination papers to them.


    Yi Ji, Kuai Liang, Pang Degong, Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan, Xiangyang County Magistrate, county magistrate, county captain and the rest of the ten Xiangyang great Confucians, all gathered in the county government to review the papers, and then divided the high and low.


    On October 24, the morning of the sixth day of marking, when it was only a quarter of an hour away from Chenshi, I finally separated all the papers.


    Today, it''s time to announce the results.


    But now, just after the review, there is no time to deal with other things.


    Yi Ji said: "after five days and six nights of hard work, Zhugong ate and drank in the county government, and never left. The magistrate of Xiangyang County will take the princes down to have a rest. When the list of all the shortlisted people is announced today, the Lord will give a separate banquet to thank the princes after the matter is handled properly. "


    After hearing this, everyone said that it was not hard.


    Before I came here, everyone collected money and got benefits. Naturally, it was different.


    Yi Ji''s eyes turned, looked at Kuai Liang and said: "zirou, time is urgent. It''s estimated that countless taxis are waiting now. In this way, you can take a list of the people who have passed the examination and immediately post it outside the county government, so as to appease the scholar''s heart. I took a list and sent it to the Lord immediately. Originally, I should have asked my Lord for instructions. Now I don''t have time. I can only do this. "


    Kuai Liang nodded and said, "I don''t want to drive. I think it''s all right


    The two split into two lines. Yi Ji took the shortlist and went to the prefectural government for interest. Kuai Liang, with the help of the soldiers from the county government, began to post the shortlist.


    Outside the county government, there have already been a circle of taxis.


    All the people are waiting, waiting for this moment.


    It''s a great opportunity for the poor scholars or the children of the aristocratic family. If you are on the list, it means that you have entered Jingzhou officialdom and reached the peak of your life.


    "Creak!"


    The gate of the county government was opened.


    In an instant, outside the county government, there was a lot of excitement.


    Liao Hua stood in the crowd with a nervous look. With the ranking coming out, Liao Hua squeezed in and looked down from the top. But after seeing the top ten, Liao Hua''s heart sank to the bottom.


    Not in the top ten!


    Liao Hua bears his mind and looks down.


    Not in the top 20!


    Rao is so, Liao Hua is still not determined. Because there are hundreds of people on the list. Unfortunately, Liao Hua did not find his own name after reading all of them.


    Liao Hua is very confident in his answer.


    Even if it was a mathematical problem, he also did the answer and gave the correct answer.


    As for the fifth question in the afternoon, Liao Hua is also clear-cut and gives a detailed game theory.


    In Liao Hua''s opinion, even if his answer paper can''t get into the top three, the top ten is safe, but now the result is not even in the top ten, which is really disappointing.


    "I thought it would be fair and just this time. It seems that it is also a muddy water."


    In Liao Hua''s heart, he could not help sighing.


    Liao Hua left the county government and went to the inn where he lived. Walking out of his room, Liao Hua hesitates in his eyes and feels guilty on his face."Alas..."


    With a sigh, Liao Hua knocked on the door.


    A moment later, the door opened and a young woman opened it. The woman was of medium beauty, but she was born with a pretty face. Her manner was full of scholarliness.


    This woman is Liao Hua''s wife, the Zhou family.


    Seeing Liao Hua, Zhou quickly welcomed him in.


    Liao Yu asked her if she had a cup of tea.


    Liao Hua said, "madam, I''ve lost the list. There are more than 100 people on the list, but I don''t have my name."


    With a smile, Zhou said, "it''s not my husband''s fault that he failed in the list. It''s because the prefectural government can''t recognize talents."


    Liao Hua shook his head and said, "madam, I don''t agree. Do you know? On that day, in the examination room, Liu Jingzhou came up to me. He personally said that I was good at writing and that he thought I was good. But why is it like this again? "


    Zhou said: "husband, Liu Jingzhou is optimistic about you, but after all, it''s not him who reviews the papers. Perhaps, the husband''s paper is not in line with the mind of the reader. "


    Liao Hua continued: "I''ve been studying hard for decades in the cold window. I''m not willing to go back with this name."


    "What''s the problem?" said Zhou? Even if it is not reconciled, my husband has no way to solve it now. Husband, it''s better to work hard now than to feel sorry for yourself. It is the so-called win not arrogant, defeat not discouraged. If my husband fails this time, there will always be another time. In addition, there are people out there, and there are days out there. Maybe the people on the list are really talented. "


    After hearing this, Liao Hua said, "madam, thank you for your comfort. My wife comes from a famous family, but she suffers with me. It''s my fault that makes my wife suffer. "


    There was no complaint on Zhou''s face. On the contrary, his eyes were more firm. He said, "my husband has outstanding talent, both civil and martial arts, and he will surely come to the fore in the future. It is the so-called "heaven will send a great task to this person". We must first work hard and work hard. My husband''s present sufferings are all for his future accumulation. "


    "Madame!"


    Listening to Zhou''s words of comfort, Liao Hua felt grateful.


    If you have a wife like this, why do you want a husband?


    Unfortunately, he failed to give Zhou a better environment.


    With a slight smile, Zhou continued: "this is the end of the matter, husband. Let''s clean up. Today, we will set out to return to Zhonglu county. My husband will return to Zhonglu County for a while to study, and then wait for the chance. "


    Liao Hua thought about it and said, "madam, can you wait any longer? Let''s leave in the afternoon. I''m not reconciled. In case, in case it is missed, what will be added later? "


    Zhou saw his husband''s expression, but he couldn''t bear to fight again. Nodded, Zhou said: "all listen to my husband."


    Liao Hua laughs miserably and takes out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone to continue studying.

 Chapter 400

    Prefecture, study.


    Yi Ji handed over the shortlisted taxi list for Liu Xiu to check.


    For the time being, it''s just a list.


    Next, Liu Xiu must meet him in person.


    Liu Xiu saw the top ten people. Huo Jun and Yang Shu were among them. Huo Jun ranked first and Yang Shu ranked third. Liu Xiu didn''t know anyone else.


    However, Liu Xiu did not see Liao Hua''s name.


    Liu Xiu had read Liao Hua''s test paper when he lost it.


    Whether it''s Liao Hua''s handwriting, his literary talent, or his point of view, it''s quite brilliant and brilliant. The only thing Liu Xiu didn''t see was Liao Hua''s numbers and the answer to the last question.


    But if you think about it, Liao Hua can''t have any questions since he has answered so well.


    Liu Xiu asked, "Mr. Ji Bo, is there anyone else besides these people?"


    "No!"


    Yi Ji thought for a moment and asked, "when my Lord was on the inspection tour, which scholar''s examination paper did you see, but now no one?"


    Liu Xiu said: "Mr. Ji Bo knew me. When I was on the tour, I saw three people. Huo Jun and Yang Shu are two of them, and there is another Liao Hua. According to my judgment at that time, Liao Hua''s answer should be better than that of Huo Jun and Yang Shu. But now there is no name on the list. Even if Liao Hua''s answers were a little worse, he would not be so bad. He didn''t even find the top 100. "


    After hearing this, Yi Ji felt heavy.


    It''s not easy to deal with this.


    The list has been published. Now, if we overturn it and start over, it will be different.


    Liu xiuxin, like a mirror, knew what Yi Ji was thinking and said, "Mr. Ji Bo, it''s not necessary to overthrow him. You immediately dispatch ten soldiers to the county government, and then search for Liao Hua''s test papers. I''ll check them myself. "


    "No!"


    Yi Ji nodded, but there was a bad feeling in his heart.


    There is always a feeling of rain coming and wind filling the building.


    Yi Ji quietly left with ten soldiers. When he arrived at the county government, he told Kuai Liang and Xiangyang County Magistrate about the matter. He told them to keep quiet and took ten soldiers to look up the examination papers.


    The soldiers looked through the examination papers of more than 15000 soldiers separately.


    The first time, after reading all the papers, we didn''t find Liao Hua''s name.


    At this moment, Yi Ji''s heart was even more heavy.


    Yi Ji and Kuai Liang looked at each other with a dignified look in their eyes. They said, "Zi Rou, my Lord saw Liao Hua''s test paper in person, but now he didn''t find it. Did he drop it?"


    Kuai Liang shook his head and said, "it''s impossible for the test paper to fall. At that time, soldiers specially escorted it. Ji Bo, we have the number of scholars. Now count the number of papers, and we will know whether they are dropped or not. "


    "Yes, that''s it."


    Yi Ji''s eyes brightened and he made a decision directly.


    People began to count the number again, but after a count, the number and the number of people were even good.


    In this way, the situation is somewhat complicated.


    It''s strange that there are no Liao Hua''s papers now, although the number of papers is complete.


    Xiangyang County Magistrate said: "yibie driving, Kuai engaged in, Liao Hua''s name is in the list of candidates, and the test paper can not be found, but his test paper is in it, will he forget to write his name?"


    "No way!"


    When I visited the examination room, I didn''t want to see Liao''s name. If Liao Hua didn''t even write his name, do you think the guild will remember his name? "


    Xiangyang County Magistrate heard the speech and nodded.


    However, the current situation is somewhat difficult.


    What exactly happened is completely unknown, which makes people confused.


    Kuai Liang said: "Mr. Ji Bo, this is the end of the matter. Now it must be very difficult to find out Liao Hua''s test paper. In my opinion, first report to the Lord, please make a decision. "


    Yi Ji shook his head and denied: "don''t worry, now report to the Lord, the Lord will definitely arrange a thorough investigation. Zirou, you didn''t see the Lord''s expression at that time. He said that during his inspection tour, he saw that the papers of three people were brilliant, including Huo Jun, Yang Shu and Liao Hua. Huo Jun is at the top of the list, and Yang Shu is also third. It''s strange that Liao Hua didn''t make the list. "


    Yi Ji said, "county magistrate, please go to the County Hall and invite all the people who participated in the marking."


    "No!"


    When Xiangyang County Magistrate heard the speech, he knew that things were starting to get big.


    Kuai Liang said, "Ji Bo, once you call them all, things will get out of control."


    Yi Ji said, "zirou, do you think the guild is willing to give up?"


    When Kuai Liang heard the words, he stopped talking.


    Not long after, Xiangyang County Magistrate, Xiangyang County Cheng, Xiangyang County Wei, and all the great scholars who participated in the marking all came to the hall. When they learned that Xiangyang County Magistrate was summoned, they didn''t know what it was for a moment?Yi Ji said, "I invite you here because something big happened. In the examination room, there was a taxi named Liao Hua who took part in the examination, but his name was not found in the test paper, and his test paper could not be found. Isn''t this strange


    As soon as this remark came out, all the people in the hall talked about it one after another.


    Yi Ji''s eyes swept the audience, with a look at the expression, but did not find a trace of strange.


    Yi Ji continued: "about Liao Hua, have you ever met him when you were reviewing the examination paper?"


    "No, I haven''t met anyone named Liao Hua at all."


    "How is that possible? Now that I''m in, I can''t do without his paper. "


    "Is it possible that his paper has been dropped?"


    People in the hall are talking about it.


    One by one, they all came up with their own ideas.


    said: "as like as two peas, the number of papers has been carefully counted, and it is not much. In addition, Liao Hua''s paper is written with his name. Because when the Lord visited, he was very satisfied with the questions he answered, so he specially read Liao Hua''s name. So, he certainly exists. Have you not found it when you read the papers? "


    A word of inquiry, but with the meaning of examination.


    Kuai Liang said: "gentlemen, this is the order issued by Zhou Mu himself. You should know that you can''t stop until you find out. So please think about it and think about it carefully. "


    As soon as the words came out, everyone''s face changed.


    They are involved in this matter. If we don''t find out clearly, they will also be affected.


    Yi Ji checked carefully, and then continued: "gentlemen, are there any people who read Liao Hua?"


    One by one, they still shake their heads, which means they don''t know.


    Yi Ji''s eyes suddenly cooled down and said: "since you don''t know, you can only take the most stupid way. I immediately sent someone to look for Liao Hua, and then let him look through the test paper. As long as he finds out the test paper, there is the handwriting on it. I believe that we can also infer who is the judge. "


    As soon as these words came out, Guan Min of Xiangyang County turned pale.


    Before that, he had planned to go all the way.


    After hearing Yi Ji''s words, Guan Min knew this time.


    "Plop!"


    Guan Min knelt down directly and said, "I will report back to you that Liao Hua''s test paper disappeared. I did it."


    "Son of a bitch!"


    Yi Ji''s eyes were very angry. He said angrily, "it''s better to do something."


    Guan Min knelt down on the ground and said, "report back to yibie. There are two people named Liao Hua in the test paper. At that time, I corrected two papers in succession, one was Liao Hua, the other was Liao Hua. I changed Liao Hua''s name to Liao Hua. So Liao Hua is on the list, but Liao Hua is not. "


    Yi Ji''s eyes sparkled with fury and asked, "who is Liao Hua?"


    Guan Min replied, "Liao Hua is my wife and brother."


    Yi Ji sneered twice and said, "well, what a county magistrate! You dare to make a fool of such an important matter as the chief''s public selection of officials. It seems that you have great courage. "


    Guan Min said: "I don''t want to drive. My humble duty is wrong. I know my humble duty is wrong."


    Yi Ji ordered: "go, search Liao Hua''s test paper immediately, and find out the two papers together."


    The soldiers immediately took action and soon found out two papers of Liao Hua. Among the two papers, one is scribbled like a dog''s plane, the other is majestic, and the answers are to the point.


    Brilliant!


    Yi Ji''s mind, only thought of these two words.


    Yi Ji said, "come on, take Guan Min and follow me back to the prefecture."

 Chapter 401

    Guan Min''s legs trembled when he heard that he wanted to see Liu Xiu.


    Once I see Liu Xiu, it''s over.


    Guan Min said in a loud voice: "I''m sorry to drive. I beg you to forgive me this time."


    Yi Ji''s eyes were cold and he waved: "take it away!"


    The soldier escorted Guan Min away. Yi Ji looked at Kuai Liang and said, "Zi Rou, I''ll take someone back to see my Lord. You stay in the county government to stabilize the situation. This news must not be leaked, do you understand? "


    Kuai Liang said, "don''t worry, I know the weight."


    Yi Ji nodded, then left with people and papers, and went to the prefecture.


    Back in the prefecture, Yi Ji went to the study with the people and the test papers. When he saw Liu Xiu, he reported: "Lord, I have checked it out. The reason why Liao Hua was not on the list was that he changed his name to Liao Hua when Xiangyang County Magistrate was grading papers. This is Liao Hua''s wife and brother, and he also reviewed Liao Hua''s papers. That''s why Liao Hua didn''t make the list. "


    "Son of a bitch!"


    There was a cool look in Liu Xiu''s eyes. Guan Min was really brave.


    Liu Xiu said, "come here."


    A soldier came in and said, "my Lord."


    Liu Xiu said, "invite Deng Zhan to the study immediately."


    "No!"


    It wasn''t long before the soldiers went down to send orders. Deng Zhan came to the study in a hurry.


    Liu Xiu said: "now you immediately search a taxi named Liao Hua, who is from Zhonglu County, about 20 years old. When you find out where you live, report it immediately. "


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan knows that it''s urgent. Even now he just has to search by a name, which is a little difficult.


    However, Deng Zhan went to handle it immediately.


    The more difficult it is, the better it is to show the ability of the royal guards.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Guan Min, and his mind was already thinking about how to deal with Guan min. Guan Min is so brave. If he doesn''t punish severely, he will be more confused in the future.


    Guan Min said: "Mr. Zhou mu, I know I''m wrong. I''d like to ask Mr. Zhou Mu to go around my life. I''m willing to commit crimes."


    Liu xiuleng said: "are you still guilty? Can you make up for your sin? Take him down, detain him first, and then deal with him after dealing with Liao Hua''s affairs. "


    After the soldier left, Yi Ji said, "Lord, I read Liao Hua''s answer paper. It''s really excellent. He also looked up the answers of Huo Jun, Yang Shu and others. Relatively speaking, Liao Hua''s answer is more comprehensive. "


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s just a coincidence that I saw Liao Hua. If it is not seen, then Liao Hua will only disappear from the public and not be known. Such things must be put an end to in the future. "


    Yi Ji said: "it''s a matter of dereliction of duty. Please punish me."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "it''s the first time that more than 10000 people have referred to it. It''s quite good to have such efficiency and results. You don''t have to blame yourself. "


    The two chatted. An hour later, Deng Zhan came back.


    Deng zhanchen reported: "my Lord, I have found Liao Hua''s residence. Liao Hua lives in an inn called Anfu Inn in the west of the county


    Liu xiuceng stood up and said, "prepare for the war horse. I will go immediately."


    "No!"


    When Deng Zhan got the order, he immediately went down to prepare.


    Liu Xiu looked at Yi Ji and said, "Mr. Ji Bo, let''s go and see Liao Hua."


    "Yes


    Yi Ji nodded and left with Liu Xiu.


    When they got out of the prefecture, they speeded up. They all rode to Anfu Inn in the west of the city. From the north of the city to the west of the city, he ran for nearly two quarters of an hour and finally came to the gate of Anfu inn.


    By this time, it was almost evening.


    The setting sun in winter soon set, and it was already dark.


    They entered the Inn and, under the leadership of the royal guards, went straight to Liao Hua''s residence on the second floor of the inn.


    Unfortunately, the room is empty.


    Around, there is no trace of Liaohua.


    After going downstairs for questioning, I learned that Liao Hua left the inn with his wife an hour ago and went out of the city.


    Yi Ji stood beside Liu Xiu and said, "my Lord, it''s so far. It''s better to go back. Now it''s getting dark. If we pursue now, it''s hard to catch up. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "no, we have to catch up."


    Yi Ji sighed and said, "if that''s the case, we will pursue immediately, but we need to take Huang Hu and a group of soldiers."


    Liu xiudao: "it''s too late to arrange these things. Jibo, you stay in the city and I''ll take Deng AI and the soldiers around me out of the city. "


    "No!"


    Yi Ji nodded and did not object.


    He is an old man. He can''t run fast at all. He can only stay.After Liu Xiu and Deng AI got out of the gate, they ran for less than a quarter of an hour, and the sky was completely dark. At this time. Liu Xiu and his party are still on their way.


    After running fast for an hour, it is already far away from Xiangyang City.


    The sky is completely dark.


    Winter night, cold wind, burning torch with the wind, in the night sky, is so conspicuous.


    Half an hour later, Liu Xiu and his party began to slow down. On the one hand, we are on our way all night. Even though there are a lot of people, the speed of all driving has decreased because we can''t see the road ahead clearly. On the other hand, Liu Xiu has to check along the way to avoid being at odds with Liao Hua and others.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier said in a loud voice: "my Lord, there is a carriage ahead."


    Liu Xiu was in a burst of spirit. After seeing the carriage, he quickly rode forward. When he looked around, he found that there was a broken temple not far from the carriage.


    It was only because it was a path from the pipeline to the broken temple that it was difficult for the carriage to pass through, and the carriage had to listen on the official road.


    Liu Xiu reined in his horse, got off his horse and went to the broken temple.


    At this time, you can see the bonfire burning in the broken temple.


    When Liu Xiu and his party arrived at the prefecture, they went straight to the broken temple. As soon as Liu Xiu entered, he immediately attracted the attention of Liao Hua and his wife. Liao Huaceng stood up and arched his hand and said, "Liao Hua, I''d like to meet Zhou mu."


    Zhou also got up, arched his hand and said, "my daughter, Zhou, I''d like to meet you."


    When they saluted, Liu Xiu quickly waved his hand to let them sit down.


    Liao Hua asked, "what happened to Liu Jingzhou when he left the city late at night?"


    Liu xiudao: "there are some things, but this matter has something to do with you."


    "What''s the matter?"


    Liao Hua didn''t make do with it and asked directly.


    Liu Xiu replied, "it''s very simple. I''m here to chase you. I hope you can return to Xiangyang. As for the fact that you are no longer on the list, it is because Xiangyang County Cheng replaced your test paper, so that is the result. "


    Liao Hua said happily, "is Liu Jingzhou real?"


    Liu xiudao: "I will cheat you."


    Liao Hua took a deep breath, suppressed his shock of new red and said, "thank you, Liu Jingzhou."


    Liu Xiu brushed his sleeves and said, "this is still what you deserve. If you want to say sorry, it''s my official who thanks you. Now that you understand, follow me back to the city. "


    "No!"


    Liao Hua''s Russian heart was moved. After all, Liu Xiu came after him at night.


    It''s late now, or it''s delayed because of other things. I''m afraid it''s difficult for Liu Xiu to catch up with Liao Hua. The group sat together, chatted a few words, and then began to rush back.


    In the carriage, Zhou was still in a dream and said, "husband, this is really changing too fast. Unexpectedly, Liu Jingzhou actually fell in love with you in person. It means that under the command of Liu Jingzhou, you can definitely have a foothold. "


    Liao Hua smiles and clenches Zhou''s fist.


    It''s all thanks to the Zhou family. Liao Hua would not have been able to hold on for such a long time without Zhou''s support.


    Liu Xiu looked at Liao Hua and Zhou and said, "it''s late night today, tomorrow. I will give you justice myself. "


    "Thank you, Liu Jingzhou."


    Liao Hua''s eyes were full of excitement.


    At the end of the day, Liu Xiu told people to take them down to have a rest, and then went back to the yard to have a rest.

 Chapter 402

    On October 25, news suddenly came out in the city that Liu Xiu, a herdsman in Jingzhou, was personally in charge of the county government to examine Guan Min, the Cheng of Xiangyang County. The reason for the trial was that Guan Min tampered with Shizi''s test paper and made his brother-in-law Liao Hua on the list, which led to Liao Hua''s failure.


    When the news came out, it immediately triggered turbulence.


    Countless people spread the news crazily, and countless people were shocked by it.


    Especially for the taxi who failed, this is a great happy event.


    Is this the case with other taxis? So that countless people have hope, one by one to go to the county government, the county government outside the blocked up.


    At the gate, countless people crowded, and even the streets outside the county government were full of scholars.


    Right above the hall, Liu Jinwei sits.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "come and take the Chengguan min of Xiangyang County to the court."


    With a command, the soldiers soon escorted Guan Min up.


    "Plop!"


    Guan Min knelt on the ground, his hair scattered and haggard.


    At this time, Guan Min''s heart was green with regret.


    He just used his power for personal gain to seek opportunities for his brother-in-law, but he didn''t expect to take himself in. If I had known this, I should have arranged his brother-in-law in the county government directly. I don''t need to do that at all.


    Now, Guan Min is uneasy.


    A lighter punishment is definitely dismissal.


    A heavier punishment is a brain problem.


    Guan Min prayed in his heart that Liu Xiu would spare his life so that he would not be killed.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice, "Guan Min, you tampered with Liao Hua''s test paper for personal gain. Is that so?"


    "Yes! I did tamper with Liao Hua''s test paper, but it was because my old wife nagged me and I couldn''t bear to refuse that I tampered with Liao Hua''s test paper without conscience. "


    At this time, Guan Min only wanted to avoid death.


    Liu Xiuse said: "so, this time tampering with the test paper, is the first time you use power for personal gain?"


    "Yes


    Guan Min didn''t even think about it, so he said directly: "I didn''t expect that there would be such an end in the end. At the moment, I think that the net of heaven is wide and clear, and I don''t want people to know it unless I don''t do it. I''m wrong. I''d like to ask the governor of the state to make a plea. "


    Liu Xiu heard the speech and hummed coldly, saying: "stubborn!"


    Liu Xiu grabbed a roll of bamboo slips on the desk and threw them out.


    "Pa!"


    The bamboo slips fell to the ground and fell in front of Guan min.


    Liu xiudao: "see for yourself."


    Guan Min picked up the bamboo slip, spread it out, and his face turned black.


    On the bamboo slips, I remember very clearly that on a certain day and month of a certain year, I accepted a bribe from someone; on a certain day and month of a certain year, I married my concubine; on a certain day and month of a certain year, I used my power for personal gain


    All the crimes are listed clearly.


    Guan Min''s heart thumped, which lifted the old man out.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "in front of my official, you dare to quibble. I''m afraid you don''t know how many times you have used power for personal gain this time. If officials like you stay in Jingzhou officialdom, it''s the disaster of Jingzhou and the disaster of the people. "


    "If you don''t die, it''s hard for Jingzhou officialdom to be quiet."


    "If you don''t like it, Jingzhou people can''t be stable."


    "Come on, drag Guan Min down and behead him."


    When Liu Xiu gave the order directly, two soldiers rushed up and quickly dragged Guan Min down. Guan Min kept struggling and begged for mercy, but at this point, there was still room to turn around, so he was directly decapitated.


    Bloody head hanging outside the county government, people see, really a cheering sound.


    At this time, countless scholars looked at Liu Xiu.


    The execution of Guan Min was a great pleasure, but what the scholars really expected was how Liu Xiu dealt with the other scholars'' failure. This is the focus of all scholars.


    "Silence


    Liu Xiu was sitting in the lobby, scolding in a deep voice.


    In an instant, the hall was quiet, and everyone''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu continued: "when I am in charge of Jingzhou, I do not allow officials to embezzle or use their power for personal gain. If we find out, there will be no amnesty. "


    After hearing this, the people cheered one after another.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said: "the Qingning of Jingzhou officialdom can not be accomplished by himself. It needs not only the officials to abide by their duties, but also the people to supervise. I hope that both the common people and the scholars can supervise. As long as there is evidence, corrupt officials are found, and reporting is encouraged. Once found out, there will be a heavy reward. "


    Liu Xiu raised his hand and pressed down when he saw that the people were going to shout again.


    When the situation calmed down, Liu Xiu continued: "in fact, the reason why Guan Min was found this time is due to luck. When I visited the examination room, I found Liao Hua and saw that his answer was very good, so I kept my mind. I didn''t expect that after reading the list, I didn''t have his name in the end. After thorough investigation, I investigated and dealt with Guan Min''s problem. ""However, I can''t guarantee whether the rest of the taxis have encountered such a situation."


    "So I decided that after the examination, we would set up a hall for recruiting talents."


    "The recruitment hall is set up in the county government. Anyone who thinks there is something wrong with his examination paper can go to the recruitment hall to make a request and check his examination paper. If it is found that the marking is not true, then I will make a new judgment. "


    Liu xiulang said: "I''m in charge of Jingzhou. I just hope that all the taxis can make the best use of their talents and all the people can live and work in peace and contentment. So I hope you all have a good result. "


    Last night, when Liu Xiu was thinking about it, he thought that it would be unreasonable to just deal with Liaohua.


    Other taxis may not be satisfied.


    Therefore, Liu Xiu specially set up a talent recruitment hall, so that scholars can consult the examination papers.


    In this way, if you have talent, you can check it out. If you know you don''t have ink in your stomach, you won''t go.


    It not only meets the requirements of scholars, but also eliminates the possibility of fish eyes mixed with pearls.


    After listening to Liu Xiu''s decision, the taxi drivers outside the county government praised Liu Xiu and supported his decision.


    Such things are naturally the best.


    After dealing with the matter, the people and the scholars gradually dispersed, leaving Liu Xiu and a group of officials.


    At this time, Yi Ji, Kuai Liang, Xiangyang County Magistrate and others were in the hall.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "it''s over for the time being. Now, I need the details of the people on the list to extract their papers, and I''ll look at them again. "


    "No!"


    Yi Ji nodded and agreed.


    After Liu Xiu returned to the prefecture, in the afternoon, Yi Ji came with his 100 point examination paper.


    These 100 papers are all shortlisted.


    After Liu Xiu looked at it all over again, the only people he finally chose were Liao Hua, Huo Jun, Yang Shu, and a taxi named Yi Feng. These four people''s answers are relatively the best.


    The rest of the people, though with good intentions and so on, are still slightly inferior.


    Liu Xiu made arrangements for four people, and then called Yi Ji and Kuai Liang.


    In the study, the guest and host sit down.


    "I''ve read all the papers," Liu said. Now, so many people have to be given official positions. Do you have any plans for the appointment? "


    Yi Ji replied, "my Lord, I''m just ready for the position where I need people."


    With these words, Yi Ji took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it up.


    Liu Xiu had a look at the general situation. There are still a large number of petty officials under the various official posts of the prefecture, and Xiangyang County government also needs some petty officials. In addition, certain documents are also needed in the major armies. In addition, the counties and counties need to arrange, so the 100 people are not enough.


    After reading it, Liu Xiu said, "in addition to Liao Hua, Huo Jun, Yi Feng and Yang Yao, you are responsible for docking with these shortlisted taxis. If they want, they can start the process. If they are not willing, they should coordinate again. If there is no consensus, let the scholars go. "


    "No!"


    Yi Ji and Kuai Liang nodded and answered, both of which were in mind.


    Liu Xiu said, "well, you go down and shout Liao Hua, Huo Jun, Yi Feng and Yang Bi to the hall. I''ll have a talk with them myself."


    "No!"


    Yi Ji and Kuai Liang got up and left.

 Chapter 403

    Prefecture, hall.


    Liao Hua, Huo Jun, Yi Feng and Yang Shu stood in the hall with a slightly uneasy look on their faces.


    There were different expressions on their faces.


    Liao Hua was relieved to be an official under Liu Xiu''s command. He was born in a poor family, and he had no way to enter the official career.


    Huo Jun looks calm, Huo Jun himself is a big family background, also once managed a certain rural brave trilogy, also can be regarded as knowledgeable, psychological quality is better, the mentality is more indifferent.


    Yi Feng, the son of a businessman, was extremely excited to be summoned by Liu Xiu. Scholars, agriculture, industry and commerce, businessmen have always been the last. If he wants to get rid of the influence of his family, he has to become an official.


    Yang Shu is also a poor family. He is very excited to be ranked in the top ten. In his thoughts, he has already considered that no matter what official position he is, he is willing to do it. He enters this door first, and then plans for the future.


    Each of the four had his own thoughts.


    Standing in the hall, they all looked serious and straight.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of footwork came from outside the hall.


    Four people''s looks, instant tense, almost at the same time turn around.


    At the entrance of the hall, Liu Xiu, dressed in a white robe and dignified, strides forward.


    "Yes, my Lord."


    Four people bowed in unison.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "sit down!"


    When the guests and the host were seated, Liu Xiu glanced at the four people and said, "compared with the rest, your answer is the most brilliant. For ordinary people, the assessment of the first four questions is necessary, because it is necessary for the government to understand. But for the four of you, in my opinion, even if there is only one last question, you should be OK. You don''t need the most basic assessment. "


    "My Lord, that''s ridiculous!"


    Huo Jun is neither humble nor arrogant. He answers with his hand arched.


    The other three, with a look of approval, did not speak.


    Liu Xiu glanced and saw it.


    No matter what the future development is, for now, at least Huo Jun is the leader. Compared with Liao Hua, Yang Shu and Yi Feng, Huo Jun is the most open-minded.


    Liu Xiu said: "about your arrangement, all talk about their own ideas."


    Huo Jun took the lead in saying, "my Lord, before I took the exam, I once led a rural brave trilogy at home. I am more familiar with military affairs. Therefore, I hope I can get in touch with military affairs."


    Liao Huachen reported: "before I went to study, I had never been in touch with politics or military affairs. Therefore, I am willing to listen to the arrangement of adults. "


    Yi Feng said, "I''m a businessman in my family. I don''t know much about politics and military affairs. I''m willing to listen to the arrangement of adults."


    "I am also willing to listen to the arrangement of adults," Yang said


    After listening to the four people''s words, Liu Xiu understood it in his heart.


    Both Huo Jun and Yi Feng are good at military affairs and making money. Only Liao Hua and Yang Shu were born in poor families, and they had only studied before, so they couldn''t find the direction to be good at.


    Liu xiulue pondered and said, "Huo Jun!"


    "Yes


    Huo Jun closed his hands and bowed.


    Liu Xiu said, "I will appoint you to be the prefectural herdsman and Cao will be the assistant of the book. Are you willing to do so?"


    "I''d like to, thank you."


    Huo Jun was very excited. He became a soldier Cao and worked as a Book assistant. He was very excited.


    Shuzuo is the assistant official of Bing Cao, who is in charge of the documents of Bing Cao. In terms of official positions, they are not big or small. Although in terms of real power, even the magistrate of a county can''t match. However, the soldier Cao, who is engaged in shuzuo, follows Liu Xiu. What he contacts is also the most important thing around him. This is the most important thing.


    Liu Xiu continued: "Liao Hua!"


    "Yes


    Liao Hua steps forward and bows 90 degrees.


    Standing in the hall at the moment, although Liao Hua didn''t show it on his face, he was already surging in his heart.


    Liu Xiu said, "I will appoint you to be Bo Cao to be the assistant of Shu. Would you like to?"


    "I''d like to, thank you."


    Liao Hua''s body trembles slightly, and he finally steps into his official career. His wife, Zhou, has been with him for many years. Up to now, she doesn''t even have a decent set of jewelry. Even the gold and silver jewelry she married has been almost used. It''s all because of him.


    Now, at last, he has a day to stand out.


    Liao Hua went directly to Bo Cao, who was not engaged in the official position of secretary, but Bo Cao was with Liu Xiu. He took charge of the documents for Bo Cao, so he had a chance to see Liu Xiu, and then he had a chance to make contributions.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fall on Yi Feng, who is unknown to Liu Xiu. But according to his introduction, he came from a businessman. Maybe the reason why he didn''t leave a trace is because of his birth.


    Liu Xiu specially looked at Yi Feng''s files and answered them in a very orderly way. In the question of where Jingzhou will go, Yi Feng put forward his unique views on currency circulation, using the currency war, so he wanted to go north to fight against Cao Cao.This man is a talent.


    Liu Xiu also appreciated Yi Feng.


    Liu xiudao: "Yi Feng!"


    "Yes


    Yi Feng stood up, his eyes slightly excited.


    When he heard that the prefectural government was a scholar, he signed up to participate. His actions were strongly supported by his father and mother. The elder two were waiting at home. Now that he finally entered the official career, he was able to ask for his identity, which made his family more glorious and excited.


    Liu xiudao said, "I have appointed you as Hucao to be a Book assistant. Would you like to?"


    Hu Cao is in charge of money and grain.


    Let Yi Feng assist Hu Cao to be engaged in, also be to make the best use of.


    "I''d like to, thank you."


    The uneasiness in Yi Feng''s heart also falls to the ground. He must have a headache for him to deal with other things. Today, he is good at helping Hu Cao to organize documents.


    Liu xiudao: "Yang Jia!"


    "Yes


    Yang also stepped forward and bowed himself.


    Compared with Huo Jun and Yi Feng, Yang Shu''s ranking is lower. Moreover, Liu Xiu discovered Liao Hua in the examination room, and even punished a group of people for Liao Hua''s sake.


    Of the four, he is the bottom.


    However, Yang Shu has an ambition in his heart. As the saying goes, we can see people''s hearts for a long time. He is backward now, which does not mean that he will be backward in the future.


    Liu Xiu said, "will you be appointed by our library as the recording Office of Zhou Mu Fu?"


    The so-called recording room refers to the drafting of articles, recording and commendation, etc. Among the Three Kingdoms, the most famous recording room is Chen Lin under Yuan Shao. Chen Lin used to be the chief of general He Jin. Later, she became subordinate to Yuan Shao and entered Yuan Shao''s shogunate to serve as a recorder. When Yuan Shao crusaded against Cao Cao, he wrote a special article for Yuan Shao to call Yuzhou, which made Cao Cao sweat.


    Relatively speaking, the power of the office of recorder is smaller than that of assistant officials such as Hucao, bingcao and BOCAO.


    However, the record room is directly connected with Liu Xiu, and one process is missing.


    For example, Liao Hua, Huo Jun and Yi Feng must first contact with their respective practitioners, and then contact Liu Xiu. However, Yang Yong is really directly connected here. Although he is only drafting documents, he belongs to Liu Xiu''s close ministers.


    Yang Shu didn''t expect that it was a record room. He was excited in his heart and quickly arched his hand and said, "I''m willing to be humble. Thank you."


    After bowing, Yang stood up.


    At this moment, Yang Shu often took a breath. He studied hard for more than 20 years, and his father died early. His mother brought him up. Now, he finally entered the officialdom and was able to repay his mother''s kindness without any more trouble.


    Liu Xiu asked, "when will you four be able to join us?"


    "Now!"


    Huo Jun didn''t even think about it. He answered directly.


    After hearing this, Liao Hua, Yi Feng and Yang Shu also answered without hesitation that they could be employed now.


    Liu Xiu did not ask too much, and said: "do you four have a place to live in Xiangyang City?"


    "No!"


    Four people, answer in one voice.


    Among the four people, Yang is from Xiangyang, but his home is in a remote village, dozens of kilometers away from Xiangyang City, so it is impossible for him to have a place to live in Xiangyang City.


    Liu Xiu said, "since none of them, you four are the same group. For the time being, they all live in the houses next to the prefecture. There are just four courtyards in the house. Each of you has a courtyard. You don''t interfere with each other. You can also visit each other to deepen contact. What do you think? "


    "It''s all up to the police."


    Four people heard the words and answered in unison.


    To be able to live next to the prefecture is naturally the best thing. Liu Xiu called Deng AI, let Deng AI lead four people down to find Yi Ji, go through the relevant procedures.


    Sitting in the hall, Liu Xiu was thinking about the problems of the Academy.


    It''s been a start-up, and now the academy is left.

 Chapter 404

    Jiangdong, Wuxian.


    Wu Houfu!


    After the marriage of Sun Quan and Liu Xiu, the war between the two sides has been completely truce. Taking this opportunity, the counties and counties under Sun Quan''s rule also have a chance to take a reprieve.


    In the study, Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Zhu Zhi, Lu Fan and others took their seats.


    When the war stopped, Zhou Yu went back.


    Zhou Yu said, "my Lord, I heard that Liu Bei came to Wu county to borrow soldiers for Jiaozhou. I don''t know how many soldiers he borrowed."


    Sun Quan said: "as soon as Liu Bei opened his mouth, there were 5000 soldiers, some grain and equipment. In the end, the Marquis lent him 3000 soldiers and 10000 stone grain. "


    Zhou Yu said: "although it''s a good thing to lend food and troops to Liu Bei to attack Jiaozhou, from another point of view, it''s also to let the tiger go back to the mountain and raise the tiger for trouble."


    Sun Quan said: "Gongjin, there is no way. Liu Xiu''s momentum was like a rainbow. After he defeated Cao Cao, he had no equal prestige. Now it''s the only way to fight against Liu Xiu. "


    Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang, what''s the news about Jingzhou recently?"


    Zhang Zhao replied, "Liu Xiu has set up a career in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, to recruit talents. His approach is to judge by talent, regardless of origin or virtue. Hum, it seems that Liu Shizi''s way is to neglect morality. It''s not enough to worry about the quality of the talents recruited in this way. In my opinion, Liu Xiu is suicidal. "


    Zhou Yu said: "Mr. Zhang, although some people have some shortcomings in morality, on the other hand, these people are absolutely talented, otherwise they will not be able to enter Liu Xiu''s sight. And this group of people selected, will greatly enrich the talent of Jingzhou. Liu Xiu''s move is powerful. "


    Sun Quan said directly, "Mr. Zhang, if Jiangdong follows suit, is it feasible?"


    Zhang Zhao said: "my Lord, if we ignore the moral character of scholars, although this practice has attracted talents, it is also drinking poison to quench thirst. In the end, it is the Lord who is affected. "


    Sun Quan said: "Mr. Zhang, Jiangdong has come to this point. If there is no change, how can we defeat Liu Xiu? "


    In a word, Zhang Zhao was speechless.


    At present, this situation is really troublesome, because it has been at a disadvantage.


    Sun Quan continued: "since Zhang Gong doesn''t have any opinions, Jiangdong can also become a fire fighter. Mr. Zhang, you are the leader of Jiangdong''s literary officials. It''s up to you. "


    "No!"


    Zhang Zhao is not too willing, but has to take over this matter.


    ¡­¡­


    Xu county, Prime Minister''s residence.


    In the study, Cao Cao, Jia Xu and Xun Yu took their seats.


    Jia Xuchen reported: "prime minister, Liu Xiu has made frequent moves in Jingzhou during this period. First, he got married with Jiangdong, temporarily postponed the war and began to recuperate. Second, regardless of virtue, he chose talents by talent, and openly set up examination rooms to assess them. Liu Xiu''s two measures have stabilized Jingzhou and laid a solid foundation. In particular, Liu Xiu promoted all the talents he recruited. These people must be grateful to Liu Xiu. This is also a hidden danger for the prime minister to attack Jingzhou in the future. Today''s Jingzhou is more difficult to deal with than before. "


    Referring to Liu Xiu''s news, Cao Cao also had a headache. I thought Liu Xiu was vulnerable, and even Cao Cao wanted to recruit Liu Xiu for his own use.


    Now the situation is out of control.


    Jingzhou is like an impassable mountain, standing in front of Liu Xiu, which makes him unable to read.


    Xun Yu said: "Liu Xiu is also a man of great courage. He even started a career to win a scholar."


    Cao Cao''s eyes flashed a touch of brilliance and asked: "Wen Ruo, what if the imperial court also started to recruit talents from all over the world?"


    "Not the prime minister!"


    Xun Yu didn''t even want to think about it and opposed it directly.


    "Why?"


    Asked Cao Cao.


    Xun Yu replied: "Liu Xiu is in charge of Jingzhou, cutting the soil, and even Liu Xiu has the support of the Pang family, Huang family, Kuai family and other Jingzhou aristocratic families, so it can be easily carried out and will not cause a rebound. What''s more, Liu Xiu''s prestige in Jingzhou was killed by a single soldier. When he spoke, Jingzhou people did not dare to disobey him. "


    "However, the prime minister is different."


    "When the prime minister was in charge of each state, there were people who rebelled against the Lord both inside and outside the court."


    "Once the Prime Minister starts his career, it will break the way that the imperial court recruits and inspects and promotes talents. Once this is done, the prime minister is likely to be criticized and put on top of the storm. "


    Xun Yu said: "in different situations, there are different ways. Please think twice before you act."


    After listening, Cao Cao''s eyes showed a cool color.


    Make a start!


    At this time, it was an excellent thing for the Han Dynasty and the imperial court. It was unreasonable that they were opposed.


    As soon as Cao Cao brushed his sleeve, he said, "if you are a man, you can do everything. How can we stop doing such things that are beneficial to the imperial court because of a little hindrance and a little criticism. Liu Xiu dare to do, the prime minister is not afraid. Wen Ruo, the imperial court is also ready to recruit scholars and enrich talents. In today''s troubled times, talent is the key to success. How can Liu Xiu specialize in beautyXun Yu said: "prime minister,..."


    Xun Yu intended to persuade him again, but Cao Cao interrupted him and said, "Wen Ruo, the prime minister has decided, so there is no need to persuade him again. This matter, you go down to think about it carefully, and then prepare to deploy the pioneers. "


    "No!"


    Xun Yu stood up and dismissed.


    Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, the war in Jingzhou and Jiangdong has subsided. This is not a good thing. You are responsible for Jingzhou''s news, that is, the situation in the south. Therefore, you should increase your penetration into the South and trigger a war in the south. "


    "No!"


    Jia Xu nodded, but also in mind.


    ¡­¡­


    Jingzhou, Xiangyang.


    The prefecture!


    In the study, Liu Xiu and Pang Degong sit opposite each other.


    Pound said justly: "Hugh, after such a long time, everything is ready. Moreover, the candidates have been arranged, and all the shortlisted taxis have gone to all the counties and the army. This matter has calmed down, and now we can arrange the affairs of the Academy. "


    Liu xiudao: "when is the teacher going to announce the news?"


    "Tomorrow! I''ve arranged for people to inform Daru one by one that they have something important to announce. "


    There was a firm look in Pound''s eyes.


    If we want to do it, we should do it well.


    In particular, this is a major event involving scholars all over the world. Pound''s fighting spirit is high. He is not like an old man over 50 years old, but like a young man with high fighting spirit.


    Liu Xiu said: "since the teacher announced tomorrow, where is the location? At that time, the disciples have to go. We have to participate in such an important matter. "


    Pound said: "you are Jingzhou shepherd, and you are my disciple. Naturally, you have to go to support me. Otherwise, where is my face? "Pang''s house is the natural location of his home in the city."


    Liu Xiu immediately laughed and said, "the teacher is right. Tomorrow, the disciples will go."


    Pound said: "I have to go back and arrange some things. I''ll leave now."


    Liu Xiu got up and said, "the teacher has worked hard. I''ll send him off."


    Pang Degong nodded, then he and Liu Xiu went out of the study and went to the gate.

 Chapter 405

    Xiangyang City, Pang''s house.


    In the early morning, there was already a lot of traffic. One by one, the carriages stopped outside the mansion, and one by one, dressed in splendid clothes, stepped down from the carriage, and then went inside the mansion.


    Each of these people is dignified and dignified. They are wearing a big shirt with a broad collar, and their clothes are windy. They are full of outstanding bearing.


    After meeting one by one, they asked each other if they knew the purpose of the invitation.


    However, all of them shook their heads, indicating that they didn''t know.


    This situation really surprised a person. Everyone was informed, but they didn''t know what it was. It was really weird.


    "Wheel! Wheel


    A carriage came slowly.


    Around the carriage, there was a group of soldiers to protect it. The first one rode on the horse, facing the simple and honest, but with a big figure.


    People who were walking towards the mansion stopped and stood aside. Because they all knew the leader and knew that Huang Hu was Liu Xiu''s follower.


    Huang Hu''s coming means Liu Xiu''s coming too.


    A moment later, the carriage stopped.


    The curtain of the carriage door rolled up and Liu Xiu came out of the carriage.


    "I''ve met Liu Jingzhou!"


    "Liu Jingzhou is very polite!"


    "Meet Liu Jingzhou!"


    When people saw Liu Xiu, they saluted him one after another.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes swept over the crowd, then folded his hands, arched his hands and said, "you are so polite!"


    "Liu Jingzhou, please!"


    One by one, they waved their hands and motioned to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said, "please, gentlemen!"


    With that, Liu Xiu took a step and went straight to the mansion. After Liu Xiu left, he looked at each other one by one with a look of surprise in his eyes. Even Liu Xiu was shocked by what pound had arranged.


    They went to the hall with doubts.


    In the morning, everyone arrived.


    In the hall, people took their seats.


    However, no one has taken a seat in the two seats directly above.


    When they saw that Liu Xiu was not there, it was obvious that pound and Liu Xiu were still discussing things.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A rush of footsteps sounded outside the hall, which immediately attracted everyone''s attention. When everyone heard about it, their eyes fell on the gate and saw Liu Xiu and Pang Degong coming together.


    With a smile on his face, pound walked side by side with Liu Xiu and finally sat down at the table.


    After sitting down, pound said, "thank you for coming."


    The crowd immediately joined, all smiling.


    Liu Xiu is like a wooden man sitting, silent.


    Below, a Haoshou old man said: "Pang Gong asked us to come, in the end is for what?"


    Pound turned around and replied, "gentlemen, I invite you here today because I''m going to open Xiangyang Academy in Xiangyang City to recruit more students. I recruit students regardless of their origin and age. As long as you have passed the examination of lumen academy, you can enter Xiangyang Academy. "


    Brush!


    As soon as this remark came out, it caused a wave.


    Pound wants to establish academy!


    The news is really shocking.


    Many of you have narrowed your eyes with a look of examination.


    At this time, on the right side of the hall, a middle-aged man in his thirties stood up. With a smile on his face, he said with a smile, "I''m a nobody in Xiangyang. Although I can only be shallow, I am also an inheritor of scholarly flavor and have been reading for generations. Because of the accumulation of generations in the family, we have a considerable collection of books, so that the children of the family can read


    "If Pang Gong just recruited a few disciples to teach as before, it would be no problem to use Pang family''s inside information and book collection. But Pang Gong said that we should recruit more students, which is hard to figure out. "


    "Once lumen academy recruits more students, with Pang Gong''s reputation in Jingzhou, there will be countless candidates, from thousands to tens of thousands. At that time, how can Pang Gong do well? Three thousand disciples of the sage only taught 72 sages in the end. Is Pang Gong comparable to a saint? "


    In a word, it''s all nitpicking.


    The edge of the hall becomes extremely sharp in an instant.


    At this time, everyone looked at him and waited for him to answer.


    Mr. pound laughed and replied, "your honor, I can''t compare with sage Kong. However, the three thousand disciples of sage Kong, regardless of their origin, education, profound mind and grand spirit, are admirable. However, although I don''t have the courage and ambition of sage Kong, I still have to learn from him to benefit the common people. "


    "What''s more, as the saying goes, one is short of wisdom. I naturally understand that. Therefore, I have invited some great scholars to teach in the Academy. With the help of a group of great scholars, I believe that it will work. "With a smile on his face, pound replied humbly.


    However, he held on and said in a deep voice, "Pang Gong has missed one thing. To teach scholars, great Confucians are naturally necessary. However, it needs a lot of information. With such a large number of people, it is definitely impossible to complete without a certain number. "


    Pang Degong''s face sank. Although the Pang family has a rich collection of books, it''s really not easy to accomplish this task, because the Pang family''s collection of books is really insufficient.


    The words of goodwill hit the point.


    This even made him a little embarrassed, but he was used to the storm and said with a smile: "as for the collection of books, the Pang family''s collection of books is really not enough. But this matter has won the support of the Huang family and the Kuai family in Jingzhou, and they will give their full support by then. So please rest assured. "


    He continued: "Pang Gong, you are going to establish Xiangyang Academy. Can several big families support a college? Moreover, the Kuai family and the Huang family can''t support each other for the sake of lumen Academy. So I''m afraid your words are somewhat unconvincing. "


    There was a touch of anger on Pound''s face, but he didn''t expect that the goodwill was like a dungstick.


    "Cough!"


    Suddenly, Liu Xiu coughed twice.


    In an instant, everyone''s eyes were focused on Liu Xiu. Seeing that Liu Xiu took over, pound was also relieved. With Liu Xiu, he would be more relaxed. Liu Xiu would never suffer a loss.


    Goodwill eyes fell on Liu Xiu''s body, is also a look of examination, but he did not speak.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice, "your honor, I have some ideas about the collection of books."


    Goodwill did not dare to hold in front of Liu Xiu, neither humble nor overbearing way: "Liu Jingzhou, please say."


    Liu Xiu said: "the collection of books needed by lumen academy will be strongly supported by the prefecture and even the whole Jingzhou. Therefore, you can rest assured that there is a shortage of books. "


    "Pang Gong was able to stand up and set up lumen Academy. In my opinion, it was a good thing for the country and the people. Therefore, I should give my full support. "


    Liu Xiu said: "there are countless books in the prefecture, and my officials are dispatched from all counties to collect books. Is this OK, sir?"


    "Of course


    The corners of his mouth twitched and he didn''t dare to speak any more.


    Liu Xiu defended Pound''s face in front of everyone, which was a slap in the face. So that he can not resist, or even can only bear.


    Suddenly, another old man came forward and said, "Liu Jingzhou mobilized so many books to support Pang Gong. Naturally, we have no opinion. But I have another question. Please ask Pang Gong. "

 Chapter 406

    Mr. pound asked, "is that your excellency?"


    The old man said, "next week, Zhou Rui, a decadent Confucian, is unknown. I don''t think Pang Gong knows it."


    With a smile on his face, Pang Degong said: "Mr. Zhou is good at the Analects of Confucius. He once annotated and interpreted the Analects of Confucius himself, which is convenient for students to read. How can he not know such a great event? I''ve heard a lot about Mr. Zhou Rui. "


    After a pause, pound said justly, "if Mr. Zhou is willing to teach in lumen college, it will be the blessing of scholars in the world."


    Zhou Rui said directly: "I don''t have Pang Gong''s idea. It''s beyond my capacity to build an academy by one person. I want to be a sage of fire hole. Ha, Pang Gong, you are too self righteous."


    Pound just color way: "is self righteous, I don''t evaluate.". What I consider is that no matter what the way ahead is, I only know that even if there is an abyss ahead, I will not refuse. I am duty bound to benefit all the students. "


    Zhou Rui sneered: "Pang Gong is really admirable!"


    Pound Fair: "dare not!"


    Zhou Rui said: "I just want to ask. The book collection of lumen academy is the book collection of Jingzhou mobilized by Liu Jingzhou and the book collection of zhoumu Prefecture. Besides, I''m afraid Liu Jingzhou will make up for all the money needed by lumen academy, right? "


    "Yes


    Pound did not answer, but Liu Xiu gave the answer directly.


    Zhou Rui raised the corner of his mouth and said: "in terms of the name, is this lumen academy Liu Jingzhou''s academy or Pang Degong''s academy?"


    Pound said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, you are wrong."


    "What''s wrong?"


    In Zhou Rui''s bright eyes, a touch of coldness appeared.


    Pound''s indifference made him uncomfortable.


    Zhou Rui said: "where is the old man''s fault?"


    Pound said: "lumen academy is not my own Academy. At the same time, it is not Liu Jingzhou''s Academy. Lumen academy is the Academy of Jingzhou scholars and the Academy of scholars all over the world. "


    Zhou Rui''s mouth twitched slightly. He didn''t expect this.


    Pound''s answer is too sharp.


    Zhou Rui said, "Pang Gong, do you want to go your own way?"


    Mr. pound said with a smile: "I''m obedient to nature. Do you have my own way? Mr. Zhou, you are also a scholar. If I remember well, when you were young, you were born in a poor family, and you had no money to study in your family. It was a great scholar of the Huang family. Seeing that you were smart, he accepted you as his disciple, and you had a chance to leap over the dragon''s gate. "


    "Now, you are going to oppose the establishment of lumen academy by me and prevent scholars from studying," he asked. Now, have you forgotten your situation in the past


    "This man has to learn to be grateful."


    Pound said: "now, you forget yourself. If you haven''t met the great scholar of the Huang family before, you are now an ordinary farmer, living on one mu and three cents of land. Zhou Rui, is that reasonable? "


    Zhou Rui''s face suddenly turned red, and his eyes showed a touch of shock and shame.


    The shock was that Lord pound knew him so well.


    I''m ashamed because he really relied on Huang Dao, a great scholar of the Huang family, to make his achievements today.


    Now that Lord pound benefits Shizi, he stands up against it. It''s really wrong.


    Zhou Rui sighed and arched his hand and said, "Pang Gong''s benefit to the scholars in the world is the blessing of the scholars in the world. I am very ashamed in my heart. Please forgive me. "


    Pang Degong laughed and said, "Mr. Zhou is proficient in the Analects of Confucius. Don''t you know the truth that knowing mistakes can improve things? Now, I formally invite Mr. Zhou Rui to teach lumen Academy. Would Mr. Zhou like to


    When Zhou Rui heard the speech, his body became stiff.


    Pound''s request, on the contrary, made him more difficult.


    There is no reason for him, because he has just apologized, and now Lord pound has thrown an olive branch at him. This is a good thing, but once you enter lumen academy, it will break the pattern of Jingzhou aristocratic family and make Jingzhou aristocratic family conflict. At that time, he will be in a very bad situation.


    Zhou Rui takes a look at Liu Xiu and thinks it''s good to have Liu Xiu.


    After all, behind the lumen academy is Liu Xiu.


    Pang Degong is in the Ming Dynasty and Liu Xiu is in the dark. These are two lines.


    However, Zhou Rui''s fame is also closely related to Jingzhou family. He chuckled and said, "Pang Gong''s kindness is old-fashioned. It''s just that old people are too old and weak to teach, and old people are not good at teaching. Therefore, I can''t enter lumen Academy. "


    After Pang Degong heard this, he understood that Zhou Rui had chosen Jingzhou''s family.


    However, they don''t know the Jingzhou aristocratic family. The biggest Pang family, Huang family and Kuai family have no opinions. Even if other aristocratic families oppose, what storm can they bring?


    Mr. pound continued: "you guys, I''ve chosen a place to build lumen Academy. It''s also in the center of the city. Xiangyang hospital is about six miles away. Today, the construction of lumen academy is about to start. Once the construction is completed, students will be recruited to enter the school. "After hearing this, no one objected, but many members of the family were not satisfied.


    Liu Xiu saw all this in his eyes and laughed in his heart.


    Why does the aristocratic family object?


    Because Liu Xiu''s actions hurt the interests of the aristocratic family.


    What aristocratic families value is their own interests.


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiulian said slowly, "everyone, lumen academy recruits many students, whether they are from poor families or aristocratic families. But there is one more thing I want to announce to you. "


    "What''s the matter?"


    I don''t even want to ask.


    Jingzhou is well known for Liu Xiu''s power. Everyone is in awe of Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "this year''s success is for everyone in Xiangyang. In the next year, or in the future, I will make some adjustments to increase the number and proportion of recruits from lumen college. So you should understand. "


    As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a burst of discussion.


    Everyone was shocked!


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu still has such means.


    If Liu Xiu increased the proportion and number of students enrolled in lumen academy, then it is necessary for the major families to let their own family members go. Otherwise, the decline of the family must be imperative.


    In the peaceful and prosperous times, the major families could unite to empty Liu Xiu''s rights, or directly let his own people not cooperate with him, which made Liu Xiu unable to move.


    The current situation does not allow them to resist Liu Xiu at all.


    In troubled times, the one with military power is the master.


    Once they make trouble with Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu can kill them regardless of everything. After all, there are lessons learned from the past. There are examples of the Cai family being taken. They dare not compete with Liu Xiu at all.


    Seeing each expression, Liu Xiu said, "in fact, you should have great advantages. Just think about it. Compared with the poor scholars, those who come from different families have a good foundation, so they are easy to get ahead. So it''s easy to get ahead in the future, isn''t it? "


    The people of all the great families were inspired when they heard the words.


    Yes!


    Why didn''t you think of that?


    From another perspective, lumen college is also a good place for them to be promoted.


    With a smile on his face, goodwill arched his hand and said, "Liu Jingzhou, the merchants are duty bound and willing to give full support to the construction of lumen Academy. If you want money or people, there''s no difference in business. "


    "Liu Jingzhou, Jingzhou Xi family also fully supports. The Xi family fully supports this. "


    "Liu Jingzhou, Yicheng, and the Ma family are also fully supportive. Xiangyang academy is a major event of Jingzhou, a major event of Jingzhou scholars. How can there be no Ma family for such a thing? "


    ¡­¡­


    At this point, all the breath changes.


    All the people looked at Liu Xiu with a sincere expression. There was no conflict just now. In their eyes, there are only interests and benefits.


    Liu Xiu enlisted and convinced them of their advantages.


    Liu Xiu turned his eyes to pound, nodded slightly, and had a smile on his face.

 Chapter 407

    Wan County, the prefect''s residence.


    Study!


    Cao Ren, Xu Huang and Jia Xu are sitting in the study.


    Originally, Jia Xu had been in Xu county, because Liu Xiu was in Jingzhou, which made Cao Cao more afraid. But Cao Cao was busy stabilizing the situation in the north, unable to go south, so he let Jia Xu come to Nanyang County to help Cao Ren and Xu Huang make suggestions.


    Jia Xu said, "general Cao and General Xu, talk about the current situation."


    Cao Ren said: "Mr. Wenhe, the situation is that Liu Xiu has asked Mr. pound to instigate another Academy. Before, there were hospitals and doctors. Now the academy is planning to recruit scholars


    Jia Xu said, "what about the others?"


    Cao Ren said: "in other aspects, there is no situation."


    Jia Xu sighed and said, "it seems that your news is not as good as me. I have the same information, but it''s more specific. Liu Xiu and Pang Degong jointly designed and suppressed the aristocratic families in Xiangyang, and then forced the establishment of academies. Now, the academy is in the process of construction. "


    When Cao Ren and Xu Huang heard the speech, they couldn''t help looking at each other.


    After all, they have limited information.


    Xu Huang asked, "Mr. Wenhe is going south to deal with Liu Xiu. What are you going to do now?"


    Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu, with his own strength, subdued the aristocratic families in Xiangyang to set up academies, which broke the foundation of the major families. Although the major families agreed on the surface, they certainly didn''t agree. So, this is a breakthrough. "


    Cao Ren turned his head and said, "Mr. Wen he, Liu Xiu''s prestige now, if you want to incite the people of the major families to make trouble, or even betray Liu Xiu, give them ten courage, they may not dare."


    Jia Xu smoothed his beard under his jaw and said, "general Cao, listen to me carefully. It is naturally difficult for the major families to rebel against Liu Xiu, but as long as they are properly guided, they may not be able to succeed. The major families are the breakthrough point, and Lord pound is the fuse of this matter. "


    "Just imagine, if Pang Degong was assassinated and the clues pointed to the major families, would Liu Xiu doubt Jingzhou''s family? Especially for Liu Xiu, Pang Degong was a very special person. "


    "Once pound made a mistake, Liu Xiu would be out of control. Families will naturally be affected. "


    Jia Xu said: "it not only alienates the relationship between the major families and Liu Xiu, but also aims at Pang Degong. Why not? Jingzhou''s aristocratic family is already resentful of Liu Xiu. Once Liu Xiu doubts and suppresses them again, they will have to do it. "


    After hearing this, Xu Huang said, "listen to Mr. Wenhe. Next, there should be plans."


    "Nature


    Jia Xu''s chin rose slightly, evoking a smile.


    Xu Huang asked, "how did you think about it, sir?"


    Jia Xu replied: "General Xu, next, I think about it like this Although Liu Xiu is powerful, when I come here, I naturally want to cut out his wings one by one and let him fall step by step. "


    At this point, infinite self-confidence emerged in Jia Xu''s eyes.


    As a top counselor, Jia Xu has his own self-confidence.


    When he was in Xu county, because of the existence of Xun you, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu and others, these people all followed Cao Cao from the beginning. Jia Xu seldom spoke. He usually spoke only when he had to say something, or if it didn''t matter. Most of the time, he kept silent.


    Now, Cao Cao let him come to Nanyang County to plan Xiangyang. The situation is different.


    In Nanyang County, if there is no progress, it is incompetent.


    Therefore, as soon as Jia Xu arrived in Nanyang County, he began to take positive actions.


    Xu Huang''s eyes showed admiration and said, "if you have a husband to prepare for it, you can defeat Liu Xiu step by step."


    Cao Ren also said: "thank you, sir."


    In fact, Cao Ren and Cao dianang had no interest in Zhang dianxiu. Both of them died under Jia Xu''s plan. Cao Ren''s mood when he saw Jia Xu can be imagined.


    But now Liu Xiu is on the rise and everything is focused on the overall situation.


    Cao Ren can only suppress his resentment and join hands for a while, hoping Jia Xu can suppress Liu Xiu, otherwise Liu Xiu''s rise will be very troublesome.


    Jia Xu said, "we all work for the prime minister. I''ve been ordered by the prime minister to go south to take charge of Jingzhou. It''s my duty to deal with Liu Xiu. General Cao is not polite."


    Cao Ren changed his mind and said, "the general policy has been set, but it''s not easy to really take action."


    Jia Xu said: "time is enough, we can deduce it slowly."


    ¡­¡­


    Nanhai County, Longchuan County.


    Nanhai County borders on Jiangdong and belongs to a large county in the east of Jiaozhou.


    Although Sun Quan controlled the counties in Jiangdong, he had no time to attack Jiaozhou because he had been fighting with Jingzhou. In history, Sun Quan began to fight Jiaozhou after the battle of Chibi, but now Sun Quan is unable to go south.Therefore, this gives Liu Bei an opportunity to take advantage of.


    With the help of Sun Quan''s soldiers and his own soldiers, Liu Bei quickly captured Longchuan County in the north of Nanhai County under the planning of Zhuge Liang and Chen Dao, and took root here.


    Longchuan County is a big county, but it has a vast land and few people.


    The population is small, and the geographical location is also very partial, so the life of the people here is not good.


    For Liu Bei, the geographical position does not affect him. Liu Bei took control of Longchuan County. In a short time, he had made the common people attach themselves to him. Even when the common people mentioned Liu Bei one by one, it was all praise and admiration.


    Liu Bei is really outstanding in his ability to receive heart.


    After Liu Bei really took control of Longchuan County, he soon discussed with Zhuge Liang and began to move eastward to capture Jieyang County in the east of Nanhai county. There are seven counties in Nanhai County, but Longchuan County and Jieyang County alone have occupied nearly half of the territory.


    Liu Bei occupied half of Nanhai County, and his power began to increase rapidly.


    Liu Bei did not interfere in military affairs and government affairs, and tried his best to win the hearts of the people.


    In less than half a month, Liu Bei appeased the people of Jieyang county. After consulting with Zhuge Liang and Chen Zhi, Liu Bei went straight to Panyu County, the seat of Nanhai county.


    The strength and defense of Nanhai county are inferior to that of Jingzhou and the Central Plains.


    In particular, Liu Bei had a strong general like Chen Dao under his command, and Zhuge Liang planned to capture Panyu County easily and occupy Nanhai county completely.


    After Liu Bei''s success, he began to win over the local gentry, and then publicized his identity. In a short time, he closed down the other four counties.


    For a time, Liu Bei directly controlled the whole Nanhai county.


    Compared with Nanyang County, Liu Bei suffered from the enemy from both sides, Cao Ren''s army in the north and Liu Xiu''s covetous eyes in the south.


    In Nanhai County, Liu Bei is haikuo. With the help of Sun Quan, he is more relaxed.


    After seizing Nanhai County, Liu Bei adopted Zhuge Liang''s suggestion and temporarily stopped the army. On the one hand, he was able to conserve his energy, and on the other hand, he was able to lay a solid foundation for Nanhai County in order to continue to attack Jiaozhou.

 Chapter 408

    The location of lumen academy is not far from Xiangyang hospital.


    The Academy covers an area no smaller than Xiangyang hospital, occupying a total of 25 mu.


    Such an academy is grand.


    In particular, the construction of the Academy was designed by Liu Xiu himself. The Academy was divided into several areas. The accommodation area, teaching area, library, school yard, etc. were all planned.


    At this time, the residential area and teaching area are under construction.


    The construction of accommodation and teaching areas is in full swing, a hot scene.


    Although it has entered the cold winter, Pound''s heart is extremely excited, especially when he sees a teaching house or a student''s accommodation house standing up, Pound''s heart has an infinite sense of achievement.


    Lord pound, wearing a cloak, is on a tour.


    Now, he has formed the habit of visiting the academy every day to see the changes with his own eyes.


    "Slow down, be careful. Don''t get hurt."


    "We all work hard. If the academy enrolls students earlier, it will benefit the people earlier. Although you can''t enter the Academy, your son or younger generation still has a chance. "


    "The construction of lumen academy is the most important event in Jingzhou. I hope you can make concerted efforts to do it well."


    As he walked, pound spoke, cheering up the farmers.


    In fact, because of the encouragement and guidance of Mr. pound, the people who took part in the construction of lumen Academy were really not lazy, they all went all out.


    After all, they also have children and younger generations, and they all hope that their next generation can make a difference.


    "Pang Gong, don''t worry. We will do our best."


    "Pang Gong is really a good man!"


    Praise and praise are constantly ringing along the road.


    Mr. pound nodded his head and gave a smile in return. He didn''t have any family background and didn''t feel that these ordinary people were inferior, so he treated them with an ordinary heart.


    "Ah


    Suddenly, a scream came from six feet in front of him.


    A thin man carrying a piece of wood fell to the ground, wood fell, the man is also lying on the ground, the expression on his face is very painful.


    "What''s the matter?"


    Seeing this, pound rushed up.


    At this time, around the man, there were several people, with a concerned expression on his face.


    Pound came to the man''s body, squatted down and asked with concern, "how are you? Where did you fall? Don''t worry. I''ll send someone to Xiangyang hospital and let the doctor come to treat you. "


    The man lowered his head and flashed a cool color in his eyes. He took a dagger out of his sleeve and stabbed him in the chest.


    "Pang Gong, be careful!"


    Suddenly, a roar came out.


    One of the people found the assassin''s action, put out his body and directly disguised pound.


    "Puchi!"


    The dagger directly stabbed into the people''s arms. In an instant, the blood was pouring.


    Pound fell to the ground, his face was shocked, while the rest of the people had gathered around him and controlled the assassin. The followers who followed him also protected him for fear of assassins.


    "Hoo! Hoo


    Pound gasped and looked angry.


    He looked at the people who had been injured for him and asked with concern, "how about a strong man?"


    "No harm!"


    There is a touch of pain on the people''s faces, but they are gnashing their teeth.


    Lord pound said, "come on, take the strong man to the hospital and let the doctor treat him." Among his entourage, he took out two people and helped the injured people to leave.


    Pound''s eyes fell on the assassin and asked, "come on, who sent you?"


    The assassin snorted and shook his head.


    Pang Degong waved his hand and said, "come on, detain him and deal with him by the royal guards."


    The assassin was escorted to his feet. He looked at Mr. pound and said directly, "Mr. pound, you are an old man. You set up lumen Academy for your own personal interests. You have broken the rules of Xiangyang and Jingzhou. Even if I can''t kill you today, there will be someone else to kill you."


    After that, the assassin bit his steel teeth. A moment later, the assassin was bleeding in his mouth and died.


    Seeing this, pound narrowed his eyes and looked at him.


    When the people around saw it, they also talked about it.


    From what I said just now, it is obvious that I have a certain conjecture. What are the rules of Xiangyang? What are the rules of Jingzhou? That is the Jingzhou family.


    Lord pound said, "let''s drag it down and deal with it!"


    The attendant nodded and left with the assassin.


    Looking at the people around him, Mr. pound said in a loud voice: "it''s normal that there are assassins on blind dates. It''s not enough to be afraid. No matter who wants to assassinate me, no matter who wants to block the lumen academy, it''s impossible to succeed. Please don''t worry. "After pacifying the people, pound left quickly. He went to the hospital to see the injured people, and then asked people to give some money compensation, and went straight to the prefecture.


    Prefecture, study.


    Liu Xiu and Pang Degong were seated.


    Pang Degong briefly talked about the assassination, and then said: "from what the assassin said before he killed himself, he said that he broke the rules of Xiangyang and Jingzhou, which should be the action of Jingzhou family. After all, the establishment of lumen academy is the fundamental obstacle to the development of the major families. The reason why aristocratic families exist is that they monopolize the way of reading. "


    Liu Xiu also narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "teacher, from this matter, it seems that the last time we jointly suppressed Jingzhou aristocratic family, it didn''t work after all."


    At this time, Liu Xiu''s mind is also extremely angry.


    Liu Xiu knew that the establishment of lumen Academy was hindering the interests of Jingzhou aristocratic family, and even met with the resistance of Jingzhou aristocratic family. He also took precautions in advance. However, Liu Xiu did not expect that these people were so brave, which was unbearable.


    Liu Xiu continued: "it seems that we can''t be soft on the Jingzhou family. I''ve even uprooted the Cai family, and I''m afraid other families won''t succeed? Teacher, since the rest of the aristocratic families dare to do something to you, I will take this opportunity to make trouble and take over Jingzhou''s aristocratic family completely. "


    Pang said, "Xiuer, you must be careful when dealing with Jingzhou family."


    Liu xiudao: "there''s nothing to be cautious about. They have trampled on the bottom line of the disciples. They even dare to do it. What can''t be moved? It''s better to uproot them than to leave them


    After listening, pound was silent.


    If Jingzhou''s aristocratic family really has been biting to death, it is indeed a troublesome thing. As long as Jingzhou''s aristocratic family does not stop, there will always be hidden dangers in lumen Academy.


    Pound said justly: "even if you have to do it, you must be careful. After all, most people in Jingzhou officialdom are related to the aristocratic families. "


    Liu xiudao: "the teacher is at ease, the disciple understands."


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, Deng AI''s voice came to mind outside the study.


    "Come in!"


    Liu Xiu ordered.


    "Creak!"


    When the door opened, Deng AI came in in a hurry, bowed himself and said, "young master, the owners of Jingzhou merchants, Xi family, Duan family, Wang family, Zhou family, etc. are all outside the house."


    Liu Xiu said with a sneer, "it''s coming so fast!"


    Liu Xiu said, "please come to the hall. I want to see what tricks they are going to play."


    "No!"


    Deng AI nodded, then turned back.

 Chapter 409

    In the hall, all the masters of the great families gathered together.


    These people came in a hurry after they got the news. They are all the heads of big families. They are all human spirits. They understand the meaning of the words before the assassin committed suicide.


    This situation clearly points to them.


    But these people didn''t do it at all.


    They talked one by one, with a lot of worry in their eyes.


    "It''s not my Wang family that did this. I don''t know who was so bold and reckless that he assassinated Pang Gong. Didn''t it make Liu Jingzhou angry?"


    "Yes, Pang Gong is Liu Jingzhou''s teacher. It is clear that Liu Jingzhou instigated the establishment of lumen academy this time. Now he is openly assassinating Pang Gong. Isn''t that directly pulling Hu Xu? "


    "Well, this time, I don''t know how to explain it."


    One by one, the faces are full of sadness.


    The assassin is dead. There is no proof of his death.


    Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Jingzhou''s families to jump into the Yellow River.


    "Mr. Zhou Mu is here!"


    Suddenly, a shout came from outside the hall. As soon as the voice came out, everyone was immediately quiet and did not speak any more. The hall suddenly became quiet.


    A moment later, Liu Xiu and Pang Degong came to the hall together.


    After taking his seat, Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "gentlemen, please sit down!"


    "Thank you, Liu Jingzhou!"


    The people of the major families said thanks and sat down directly.


    Liu Xiu asked, "what can I do for you when you come to the prefecture?"


    One by one, they look at each other without opening their mouths. You look at me, and I look at you, expecting others to open their mouths first.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said again, "you don''t talk. What does that mean? If you don''t have anything to do, but you come to my official, is it not to amuse me? "


    There are thorns in the words, which make the heads of the major families frown.


    These people have heard Liu Xiu''s anger.


    "Liu Jingzhou, we have something to do when we come here."


    Suddenly, goodwill stood up.


    ''s eyes were deep and calm in his goodwill. Though he had opposed it before, he knew that the situation was Liu Xiu has the final say. If Liu Xiu gets angry, no aristocratic family can afford it. In particular, the Kuai family, the Huang family and the Pang family are all loyal to Liu Xiu, and it is totally impossible to be against Liu Xiu. Therefore, after the Pang family made trouble for Pang Degong that day, the goodwill never moved again.


    Liu Xiu asked, "what''s the matter with Mr. Shang?"


    Goodwill zhengse way: "Liu Jingzhou, we come to the prefecture, is for Pang Gong assassination."


    Liu Xiu has fire in his heart, but he suppresses it. After all, it''s only his conjecture, and no real evidence has been found. With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said coldly, "what does Mr. Shang want to say about the teacher''s assassination?"


    Goodwill continued: "we are deeply saddened and indignant at Pang Gong''s assassination, but it is not our responsibility to do so. Although we have some ideas about Pang Gong''s founding of lumen Academy. But, after all, this is a settled matter, which is related to the overall situation of Jingzhou. So, I dare not and will not do such a thing. "


    Liu Xiu said blandly: "about the teacher''s assassination, I will not wrongly, but I will not let any murderer go. I will check this matter. So please rest assured. "


    As soon as he heard this, he knew that Liu Xiugen had never heard of it.


    Goodwill continued: "Liu Jingzhou, the suspect of assassinating Pang Gong is ourselves. In this case, we still have to assassinate. Don''t we find ourselves guilty? Liu Jingzhou, please think twice. "


    Liu Xiu was silent for a moment.


    However, Liu Xiu still said: "Mr. Shang, you, the teacher''s assassination has not been investigated and dealt with. Then everyone is suspected. Therefore, I will not make a judgment for the time being. Please believe me. As long as you are innocent, I will never be wronged. "


    After hearing this, everyone even called Liu Xiu Yingming.


    The purpose of this visit is to find out Liu Xiu''s attitude and to get rid of his suspicion.


    Today, although Liu Xiu is angry, he can still keep calm. Under such circumstances, at least they are quite safe. As long as Liu Xiu is not involved and does not arrest people, they will be fine.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "since you are all right, please go back. You don''t have to stay here. As for the assassination of the teacher, I will check it out. "


    "Thank you, Liu Jingzhou!"


    He bowed his hand and looked serious.


    "Thank you, Liu Jingzhou!"


    "Liu Jingzhou, I''ll leave."


    One by one, they saluted, and then they pushed out of the hall.


    After all the people stepped down, pound said: "Xiuer, if the suspicion of assassinating me is combined with the assassin, it is really the big family in Jingzhou that is more suspicious. But on the other hand, what they said is not wrong. At this time, anyone who assassinates me will suspect that they did it, which is quite unwise. "Liu Xiu said: "teacher, this matter will be verified by the disciples. The royal guards got the news before, and they will definitely check it out. "


    Mr. pound nodded and said, "in that case, I''ll go back first. You can check the assassination. I can rest assured. "


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came in, bowed his hand and said, "my Lord, general Deng asked to see you."


    Liu Xiu waved the soldiers back, and then said: "teacher, wait a moment, see what Deng Zhan said."


    Mr. pound nodded and sat there waiting.


    After a while, Deng Zhan came in in a hurry. After giving a salute, Deng Zhan said: "Lord, about Pang Gong''s assassination, the assassin''s identity can''t be verified and he can''t find any direction. According to the news of the royal guards, during this period of time, the families in Jingzhou were also quite low-key, without any abnormal behavior. "


    Liu Xiu said: "so, I can''t find any flaws for the moment?"


    Deng Zhan''s face was bitter and astringent, and said, "it''s really not for the time being!"


    Liu Xiu continued: "such a situation must be thoroughly investigated and carefully verified."


    Deng Zhan changed his words and said, "however, Nanyang has just sent back a piece of news."


    "What''s the news?" Liu Xiu asked.


    "Jia Xu has arrived in Wan County, and now he is helping Cao Ren and Xu Huang," Deng said


    Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows and looked surprised. Jia Xu left Cao Cao and went to Wan county. If Liu Xiu didn''t hear from Jia Xu, he still couldn''t figure it out, because as Pang Degong said, Jingzhou''s major families are not suspected.


    With the news of Jia Xu, if Jia Xu is behind the scenes, then everything will be easy to make sense.


    Dissension!


    Jia Xu used the alienation meter.


    Once pangdezhou was assassinated, Liu Shihui believed that the relationship between the two families was really big. At this time, Jia Xu drew on Cao Jun again, and it was very easy for people from all major families to turn to Cao Jun''s side.


    Liu Xiu looked at Pang Degong and asked, "teacher, do you think it''s Jia Xu who has a high probability of making a move?"


    Pound is fair: "probably."


    No matter what the truth is, Pang Degong doesn''t want Liu Xiu to cause Jingzhou turmoil at this time, so he directly infers that it is Jia Xu.


    Liu Xiu flashed a light in his eyes and said: "at present, Jia Xu is the most suspect. However, whether Jia Xu is behind the scenes will be known as long as you have a try. "

 Chapter 410

    Soon after the owners of the major families left, Liu Xiu directly dispatched soldiers to surround the major families. In addition, Liu Xiu personally went to the major families to interrogate the situation, but in the end, nothing happened and he didn''t get any news.


    This situation has directly intensified the contradictions between the two sides.


    For a moment, rumors spread in Xiangyang City that Liu Xiu believed that it was Jingzhou''s aristocratic family that assassinated Pang Degong, intending to attack Jingzhou''s aristocratic family.


    In the whole Xiangyang City, the wind is frightening and the undercurrent is turbulent.


    The news soon reached Wan county.


    Prefect''s mansion!


    Jia Xu, Xu Huang and Cao Ren sit opposite each other.


    Jia Xu had a confident expression on his face and said: "it seems that Liu Xiu is really going to fight against the families in Jingzhou. This is also a good situation. Everything is still under planning. "


    Cao Ren really suffered Liu Xiu''s losses. When you think you have succeeded in the scheme, you enter Liu Xiu''s trap instead.


    And now?


    Cao Ren''s heart, suddenly gave birth to such an idea.


    Cao Ren said: "Mr. Wenhe, although you have made a complete plan, it is also a part of the plan to alienate Liu Xiu and Jingzhou family. But what if Liu Xiu saw through it? I''m afraid it will be bad for him to follow the trend and make use of it again. "


    Jia Xu said: "no matter how powerful Liu Xiu is, he can''t see through my real purpose. If Liu Xiu sees through the old man''s estrangement of his relationship with the Jingzhou aristocratic family, then encircling the Jingzhou aristocratic families is a fake; if he can''t see through, but now encircling the families, then he really intends to do it. "


    "Anyway, it''s in my plan."


    "Even if he sees through, what can he do? Is it difficult? Can you guess if I''m going to take the next step? "


    Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "this time, Liu Xiu must be in the trap. This time, we must cut out Liu Xiu''s wings. The plan always goes down step by step, two generals. Let''s wait and see. "


    Cao Ren said: "Mr. Wen he is so confident, that book will wait and see."


    ¡­¡­


    Xiangyang, the prefecture of animal husbandry.


    Study!


    While Liu XiuXiu was reading a book, Deng Zhan came in in a hurry.


    Deng Zhan said: "Lord, I''ve got news. Sure enough, Cao Cao''s people have contacted the families with the intention of inciting them to revolt. At present, the people of the major families are in accordance with the Lord''s orders, and they are lying to each other. People have appeared. Do you want to arrest them? "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "it''s unnecessary. It''s all small fish and shrimps. It''s useless to catch them. The reason why they surrounded the families was to make sure that Jia Xu was behind the scenes. Now it seems that Jia Xu is really behind the scenes to control and assassinate the teacher. "


    Deng Zhan said: "Lord, don''t worry. I''ve arranged someone to protect Pang Gong. In the future, I will never make such a mistake again. In addition, other people, such as Kuai Zhun, yibie Jia and Pang Junshi, were also arranged around them. At present, important personnel are already under protection. "


    Liu Xiu continued: "Jia Xu is extremely vicious. We must be careful."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan holds his fists.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Jia Xu has been assassinating his teacher, but there is no movement for the time being, and it is difficult to infer his final action. Therefore, it''s still time for the major families to see what Jia Xu''s future plans are. Wait and see what''s going on, and stop with it. "


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan responded again and retired.


    Liu Xiu was sitting alone in his study, with a chill in his eyes.


    Here comes Jia Xu!


    This man is not easy to deal with, but not without weaknesses.


    In the next two days, Deng Zhan went to zhoumu Prefecture every day, because he got the news that Jia Xu was actively contacting the people of Jingzhou''s major families, intending to incite their rebellion. It''s just that all the major families are lying down and have not agreed for the time being. The situation is frozen here, and neither side has made a breakthrough.


    On this day, the business.


    A man in black bypassed the army outside the shop and came to the house.


    Soon, we saw goodwill.


    The man in black arched his hand and said, "the merchant is very polite!"


    Goodwill said: "your courtesy, you come again, what''s the matter?"


    The man in black replied, "this time, I''m here to rescue the merchants. The assassination of Pang Degong made Liu Xiu feel scared. Even, Liu Xiu has dispatched a large army to encircle the families. If the major families do not resist, then the fate of the Cai family will be a lesson for you. "


    Goodwill said: "there is no evidence for assassinating Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu can''t do it to the families just because of this."


    The man in Black said with a smile: "although Liu Xiu didn''t do it, he surrounded all the families. Can you endure such humiliation? Besides, with the establishment of lumen academy, the establishment of Xiangyang hospital, and Liu Xiu''s constant efforts to learn from others, the Xiangyang family, and even the Jingzhou family, are about to become a thing of the past. Businessman, can you really bear it? "He snorted, but did not speak.


    The man in black continued: "businessman, you are a smart man. You should know that Liu Xiu''s series of measures in Xiangyang are aimed at the aristocratic family? Can you bear it? How can you face all the ancestors when you see the business declining like this? "


    "Enough!"


    Goodwill angrily stopped the man in black from speaking.


    Man in Black: "businessman, actually you don''t do much. You just need to attack the Jingzhou soldiers who surround the mansion and attract the forces in the city. Our people will attack the prefecture and kill Liu Xiu. "


    "Oh, is that true?"


    There is a shrewd look in the eyes of goodwill.


    Finally!


    These people finally showed their foxy tail.


    At the beginning, Liu Xiu sent troops to encircle the merchants. Later, he personally came to the door and said that encircling the merchants was just to confuse the other side and lead the other side out. Unexpectedly, he did.


    Humanity in Black: "nature is true. You can''t accomplish such an important thing as killing Liu Xiu."


    "I''m afraid I can''t do it," she said


    The man in Black said in a deep voice: "of course, you are not the only one. Our people have gone to persuade other families separately. So, at that time, we will certainly raise our arms and ten thousand people will respond. "


    Goodwill nodded and asked, "when do you do it?"


    Humanity in Black: "tomorrow afternoon, you will act."


    "I see."


    He took a look at the man in black and took a cup of tea.


    Jie, the man in black, sneered and left.


    After seeing the man in black leave, goodwill directly calls the people arranged by the royal guards in the house and asks the royal guards to deliver the message to Liu Xiu immediately.


    When Liu Xiu got the news, he called Pang Tong, Deng Zhan, Kuai Liang and Yi Ji to discuss the matter.


    Deng Zhan said: "Jia Xu sent people to contact the major families and agreed to take action at noon tomorrow. According to Jia Xu''s arrangement, he asked the people of the major families to confront the soldiers who surrounded the major families at noon, and then attacked the prefecture


    "The reason why the families cooperate is because the Lord arranged it."


    "Now, it''s only uncertain how the team that attacked the prefecture is composed."


    Deng Zhan said: "this is the general situation now."


    Kuai Liang said: "according to this situation, everything is still under the master''s control. So, it''s enough to just lay troops in the prefecture


    Pang Tong nodded: "I agree with Kuai''s analysis. Jia Xu''s ultimate goal is the Lord. So as long as the safety of the Lord is safe, Jia Xu''s plan will not succeed. "


    Yi Ji also nodded in agreement.


    Liu Xiu said: "the temporary situation is like this, but I think Jia Xu may have another plan. It''s just that I can''t infer it at all for the time being. "


    Pang Tong suddenly said: "Lord, although I agree with the analysis that Kuai is engaged in. But at this time, it is even more terrible for us not to know Jia Xu''s plan. What''s more, although the news from goodwill is that Jia Xu is going to send someone to attack the prefecture, what if it''s the false information Jia Xu deliberately released? If so, we will be led by Jia Xu''s nose. In any case, he will fall into Jia Xu''s plan. It''s better to take the initiative than to be passive. "


    Liu Xiu asked, "how to take the initiative?"


    Pang Tong said: "Deng Zhan has been paying attention to Cao Cao''s spies in Xiangyang City. In this way, he started thoroughly and pulled out all the hidden piles that the other party had placed in Xiangyang City. "


    "Without the dark stake, Jia Xu''s control of Xiangyang will be completely black. When he does it again, he almost loses control. Jia Xu, after all, stayed in Wan county. No matter how he fought with him, he couldn''t win him. Instead of doing so, he had better wipe out Jia Xu''s covert clothes and give him no chance. As for the major families, there was no need to act again and directly removed the surrounded soldiers. "


    Pang Tong said: "I always think that we follow Jia Xu''s plan, but Jia Xu controls the initiative, and we can''t figure out each other''s plan. Under such circumstances, it is easy to misjudge, leading to the other party''s plan


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu fell into deep meditation.


    Pang Tong''s words awakened Liu Xiu and made Liu Xiu wake up from his previous thoughts.

 Chapter 411

    Before that, Liu Xiu''s idea had been to fight back and follow Jia Xu''s plan.


    However, the biggest problem is not knowing Jia Xu''s plan.


    In the past, Liu Xiu was able to see through and make arrangements. But for Jia Xu''s plan, Liu Xiu doesn''t believe it will be so simple. He can''t see through each other''s plan and find out each other''s layout and trace.


    Liu Xiu''s mind, and just want to take advantage of the situation, the stratagem, let Jia Xu in the stratagem.


    But it''s very difficult.


    Pang Tong''s words directly awakened Liu Xiu and made Liu Xiu jump out of his previous obsession.


    Liu Xiu took a deep breath and said, "the analysis of the military strategist is reasonable, and it''s really good advice. At this time, if Jia Xu takes the train of thought, it will be us who will suffer. I''m in favor of taking the initiative. What do you think? "


    Kuai Liang said: "taking the initiative is naturally the best result. Moreover, because the soldiers surrounded the major families before, so that Cao Cao''s people secretly continued the major families, which also gave the royal guards the opportunity to follow the vine and touch Cao Cao''s various covert clothes, plus the information they had before. I think it''s the most appropriate time to act now. "


    Yi Ji also said: "take the initiative to attack, save also agree."


    Deng Zhan said: "Lord, I also agree to take the initiative to attack. At present, the royal guards have mastered Cao Cao''s hidden clothes in Xiangyang. Once they act, they will be able to remove Cao Cao''s hidden clothes."


    Everyone agrees with Liu Xiu''s decision and Pang Tong''s analysis.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "if that''s the case, take action. Deng Zhan, mobilize the royal guards, and immediately arrest all Cao''s disguised rebels. There is no amnesty for killing them. "


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan''s eyes were excited and he turned around and went down.


    Liu Xiu looked at Pang Tong again and said, "Shiyuan, you should arrange for people to go to the major families and bring back the soldiers'' cars that surround the major families."


    "No!"


    Pang Tong nodded and turned out of the prefecture.


    Xiangyang''s royal guards are absolutely vigorous and resolute when they take action. In the morning, the royal guards are everywhere in all directions of Xiangyang City. They are constantly catching people and entering the prison of the royal guards.


    Once in the royal guards, there is no future.


    This sentence came from the case of the royal guards before. Now, the people in the city are nervous.


    The whole Xiangyang City is filled with a sense of pressure.


    On the other hand, after Pang Tong sent people to convey the order, all the soldiers who surrounded the major families withdrew. The people of the major families were relieved and no longer worried about their own situation.


    In the late afternoon, all the covert clothes were caught.


    Liu Xiu went to the prison of the royal guards in person and watched the arrested people in disguise. There were more than 40 people. Liu Xiu said, "Deng Zhan, please invite the owners of the goodwill and the major families to see if there are any people they know."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan nodded, with a touch of brilliance in his eyes.


    Liu Xiu''s action is obviously to see if the person arrested this time is finished.


    About two quarters of an hour, goodwill and other family owners came to the royal guards. When they saw Liu Xiu, they immediately saluted and said, "I''ve seen Liu Jingzhou!"


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "you don''t need to be polite. These days, I have wronged you. Now, Cao Cao''s hidden pile has been seized. Come and see if you''ve got all the people you''ve been dealing with. "


    "No!"


    And they answered, and they came forward one after another.


    In a short time, everyone has found out the dark pile with their own contact.


    Seeing that all the people were caught, Liu Xiucai was relieved. In this way, Jia Xu thought that it would be difficult to stir up the storm in Xiangyang City.


    Liu Xiu expressed his thanks to the humanitarians of the major families, and then said, "Deng Zhan, find out the criminal evidence of all the people, and behead them to the public."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan nodded and was even more excited.


    Isn''t such a thing his favorite?


    It took Deng Zhan half a day to interrogate more than 40 people. At the beginning, some of these people died, but at the end, they all confessed to what they had done in Xiangyang.


    In the early morning of the next day, Deng Zhan led the royal guards and escorted more than 40 dark stakes out of the royal guards Yamen. Then he paraded in the street and went straight to the gate.


    More than 40 people were publicly declared guilty.


    In the end, all of them were beheaded.


    This move, suddenly an uproar, shocked the whole Xiangyang City.


    No matter the aristocratic families or the hidden pile spies planted by various princes, they are all extremely frightening, because the power of Liu Xiu''s action is really shocking.


    Originally, Jia Xu''s plan was for action.


    But now, because Liu Xiu suddenly broke the Convention, the plan ran aground.


    The news quickly came back to Wan County, and Jia Xu got the news.Jia Xu was sitting in the hall with a cold face and a touch of shock in his eyes. After he got the news, he didn''t expect that Liu Xiu deliberately let the major families contact with his people, and then he took all the hidden piles away.


    In fact, Jia Xu''s plan is very simple, that is, to target at the people around Liu Xiu.


    He assassinated Pang Degong and alienated Liu Xiu from Jingzhou family.


    Then, using Jingzhou family as a cover, let Liu Xiu and Jingzhou family conflict. Even Jia Xu arranged for people to tell the aristocratic families in Jingzhou that they wanted to attack the prefecture, which was false.


    Jia Xu''s final plan is aimed at Pang Tong.


    When all the attention is attracted, Jia Xu will send someone to assassinate Pang Tong and take off Liu Xiu''s arm.


    But now it seems that this is definitely impossible.


    Because all the hidden piles in Xiangyang were once again dealt a devastating blow. The last time Liu Xiu used to deal with LV Meng, now he took all the hidden piles out of his hands. It''s really powerful.


    Cao Ren sighed and said, "Mr. Wenhe, now you have a fight with Liu Xiu. You should have seen his skill. On the surface, everything is in control. However, Liu Xiu''s sudden action directly disrupted our plan, and even made us suffer heavy losses. "


    Xu Huang also said, "Liu Xiu is really powerful. Mr. Wenhe, this time he failed. Mr. Wenhe, don''t care. Next time, fight again. "


    "Alas..."


    Jia Xu sighed, but there was a cold light in his eyes, and said: "Liu Xiu can hide this time, doesn''t mean he can hide next time. Therefore, this failure is just the beginning of the next success. This time I didn''t succeed. I can continue to count on Liu Xiu. "


    Xu Huang said, "if Mr. Wenhe can think like this, it''s naturally the best."


    Jia Xu stood up and said: "two generals, this plan failed. Let me think about it again. Then, we will consider dealing with Liu Xiu. Goodbye. "


    Cao Ren and Xu Huang nodded and watched Jia Xu leave.


    Cao Ren took a deep breath and said, "Gongming, I''m afraid Jia Xu alone has great difficulties in dealing with Liu Xiu."


    Xu Huang replied, "after all, Mr. Wenhe has never dealt with Liu Xiu. This time he suffered a loss. Next time, it won''t be like this. Mr. Wen he was sent by the prime minister, and we can only trust him. "


    Cao Ren understood what he said.


    Cao Ren nodded and said, "Gongming, don''t worry, I will know what to do."

 Chapter 412

    When Jia Xu''s plan to stir up the storm in Xiangyang came to a standstill, Liu Xiu also eased his breath for a while, but Jia Xu was always in the north, just like a bone in the throat, which made Liu Xiu uneasy.


    Liu Xiu has made a decision in his mind that he plans to go north to solve Jia Xu''s problem himself.


    Before that, Liu Xiu was recalling the content of papermaking in later generations.


    Nowadays, papermaking technology is relatively mature, but the paper produced is quite expensive, and ordinary people can''t afford to use it. We must improve the raw materials and papermaking process.


    Liu Xiu found a craftsman in the workshop to make zuobe paper. Then he explained the main points and materials of paper making, and let the people in the workshop carry out the experiment.


    After hearing this, all the craftsmen in the workshop felt strange.


    Zuober paper has a mature production process, although the cost is expensive, but also quite good.


    Now Liu Xiu wants to improve.


    Is this kind of improvement suitable? Can we make it?


    In the hearts of every craftsman, such an idea emerged.


    But they also know that Liu Xiu once designed the bobbin car, and that the Quyuan plow sold by the Huang family was designed by Liu Xiu, so they all suppress their doubts.


    Moreover, Liu Xiu is Jingzhou herdsman after all, is the Lord, Liu Xiu issued the order, they must carry out.


    After Liu Xiu arranged the paper making plan, he handed it over to Huang Yueying.


    Although Huang Yueying is pregnant for more than three months now, she still can''t spare time, and Liu Xiu doesn''t stop her. With Huang Yueying in charge, Liu Xiu was relieved.


    Back in the study, Liu Xiu called Yi Ji, Kuai Liang and Pang Tong.


    Please take your seat!


    Liu Xiu said, "I invited you here today for Jia Xu''s sake. Now that Jia Xu is in the north, it must be very difficult for Jingzhou to have peace. Jia Xu is like a poisonous snake in Nanyang County. If you don''t get rid of him, Jingzhou will always be in danger. So I plan to go north to Nanyang County and meet Jia Xu for a while. "


    Yi Ji zhengse said: "Lord, just as the so-called son of a thousand gold is sitting down, Lord is in charge of the overall situation in Xiangyang. As for Jia Xu in the north, he has his own Zhang Ren and Wei Yan to guard against. Even Lord can control the overall situation of Nanyang County. I don''t think it''s necessary to go north."


    Kuai Liang nodded and said: "I also agree with Ji Bo''s suggestion. After careful calculation, I don''t have much time to stay in Xiangyang, and I spend most of my time outside. Now, the overall situation of Jingzhou has been settled down for the time being, but the Lord is going to leave again. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Uncle Ji and zirou, the reason why I dare to leave is that you two are like my right and left arms, combing the government affairs for me. Without you, I certainly dare not leave Xiangyang. "


    In a word, Yi Ji and Kuai Liang''s taut faces were a little softer.


    In fact, Liu Xiu did not interfere in government affairs, which really gave Yi Ji and Kuai Liang more autonomy.


    If you are the Lord, you have to intervene in everything. On the contrary, the people below can''t give full play to it. Moreover, in order to do things, you have to figure out the Lord''s mind. On the contrary, it''s easy to intrigue.


    If Liu Xiu firmly controls the military power, he can let Yi Ji and Kuai Liang preside over the government affairs.


    I feel relaxed, and government affairs are in order.


    Seeing that they were silent for a while, Liu Xiu continued: "Uncle Ji and zirou, this is a troubled time, not a peaceful and prosperous time. If I want to defend Jingzhou and attack Cao Cao in the north, my focus must be on military affairs, so I can only stay outside most of the time. In government affairs, it''s just the two of you. "


    Yi Ji Lian said: "Lord, it''s not hard for me to deal with government affairs


    Kuai Liang also respectfully said: "when we deal with government affairs and serve the public, this is what people and officials should do. Now that my Lord has decided, my uncle and I will not stop us any more. We just have to pay attention to safety when our Lord goes north to Chaoyang County. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "when I go north to Chaoyang County, I will take Huang Hu, Sha Moke and a team of soldiers. I will be safe."


    Kuai Liang and Yi Ji nodded and were relieved.


    Pang Tong said: "when you go north, you have to participate in your humble position."


    "Of course!"


    Liu Xiu smiles. Pang Tong has to go north with him.


    Pang Tong changed his words and said, "Lord, I''m going to take Huo Jun with me this time. This man is familiar with military strategy and is a capable talent. If you let him go to the north, you can also broaden your horizons and lay a foundation for the future. "


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu nodded and agreed.


    When it comes to Huo Jun, Liu Xiu is equivalent to Liao Hua, Yi Feng and Yang Shu.


    Liu Xiu didn''t pay attention to the arrangement of four people after he was a scholar.


    Now that Pang Tong mentioned Huo Jun, Liu Xiu thought of these people and asked, "Mr. Ji Bo, how about Huo Jun, Liao Hua, Yi Feng and Yang Yu?"


    Mentioned these people, Yi Ji''s eyes also have a smile.


    Yi Ji said: "I will tell you that Huo Jun is good at military. Pang Junshi also said just now that he is a capable talent, quite good. As for Liao Hua, Yang Shu and Yi Feng, they all have outstanding abilities. They are familiar with government affairs in a very short time, and then draw inferences from one instance. Even, it''s OK to let them take charge of their own affairs. However, if these four people want to become great weapons, they still need to lay a solid foundation and continue to hone. "Liu Xiumian with a smile, said: "Mr. Ji Bo evaluation is so high, is also rare."


    Yi Ji said: "I''m just talking about the matter. Based on their ability, I have begun to gradually tilt government affairs, so that they can contact more government affairs, not just their own duties, which is conducive to future development."


    Liu Xiu said, "I''m relieved that Mr. Ji Bo will do it."


    After several people discussed the matter together, Liu Xiu arranged to go on.


    After telling Huang Yueying and sun Shangxiang the news, Liu Xiu went north with Huang Hu, Sha Moke, Pang Tong and Huo Jun.


    This time, the soldiers of flying tiger camp only used 100 people.


    A group of people rushed to Nanyang County.


    went to the north this time, because Liu Xiu had cut off Jia Xu''s eyeliner in Xiangyang, which made Jia Xu''s control of Xiangyang in the short time. The north of Liu Xiu was completely hidden.


    Liu Xiu led his army through Deng County, then quickly went north, and then quietly arrived in Chaoyang County.


    Today''s Chaoyang County is the residence of the Fifth Army, but also a temporary hospital.


    The troops enter the city and live in the government.


    After Liu Xiu settled down, he directly invited Wei Yan and Zhang Ren to the hall.


    The crowd gathered in the hall and the guests and hosts took their seats.


    Liu Xiu said directly, "Wei Yan is in charge of Nanyang County. What''s the situation during this period?"


    Wei Yangong said, "nothing else is going well for the time being. Because of Xiangyang''s support and assistance, the people in several counties under our jurisdiction were able to eat, clothe and warm. Even the people of Wan County, Xinye county and Jiyang County in the North went south one after another. However, due to the geographical location of Nanyang County, business has always been difficult to develop. "


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "don''t worry. Take your time."


    Immediately, Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Zhang Ren.


    Zhang Ren took the initiative to say: "Lord, in this short time, Cao Ren''s Cao army did not move, and there was no war between the two sides."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "that''s good."


    Zhang Ren asked again, "my Lord, what''s the matter?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "when Jia Xu came to Wan County, he set up a plot against Xiangyang. This time I''m here to win Jia xulai. One day he was in Wan County, Jingzhou could not be peaceful. So, this time we won Jia Xu. "


    In Wei Yan''s eyes, there was a flash of light, and he couldn''t wait to ask, "is the Lord going to attack Cao Jun?"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "it''s impossible to send troops on a large scale."


    In the current situation, Liu Xiu can not use force on a large scale for the time being, because Jingzhou needs to adjust. Therefore, Liu Xiu''s action and confrontation against Jia Xu can only be on a small scale.


    Wei Yan was a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn''t show it on his face. He said, "since that''s the case, the Lord''s plan will be settled?"

 Chapter 413

    In view of Jia Xu''s plan, Liu Xiu and Pang Tong took the same car on the way here, and they have discussed it for countless times.


    The whole plan has taken shape.


    When they discussed, they both agreed that it was impossible to overthrow Jia Xu at one time. Only by constantly using tactics to weaken Jia Xu can they succeed in the end.


    Therefore, Liu Xiu''s and Pang Tong''s strategies belong to the serial plan of boiling frogs in warm water.


    Little by little, it erodes Jia Xu.


    The first step for Liu Xu to visit Jia Shengdao is to send people to visit him. Specific practice, need to do so, do so This time, there is a certain risk. Therefore, the people who go there must be smart enough to be able to judge the situation, observe what they say, and be prepared for failure. If it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable. "


    Liu Xiu asked, "Wei Yan and Zhang Ren, do you have suitable candidates under your command?"


    Wei Yan said: "my Lord, how about going there in person?"


    Wei Yan Si was not afraid of such an adventure.


    It''s impossible for a man to have no risk if he wants to make achievements.


    Zhang Ren said: "Lord, there is no one in the end general''s army for the time being."


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu frowned.


    It must be impossible for Wei Yan to go there in person. After all, Wei Yan is the prefect of Nanyang County and can''t leave at will. And Wei Yan and Zhang Ren have no other people, so they have to choose.


    "My Lord, I am willing to go."


    Suddenly, Huo Jun stood up and walked into the hall.


    Huo Jun''s face was serious. He bowed his hand and said, "Lord, Lord Wei is the prefect of Nanyang County. Once he goes to Wan County, he is taken by Cao Ren, but it''s not good. I went to Wan County, but even if I was caught, it didn''t affect me. So, I''d like to ask you to go to Wan county. "


    Pang Tong interjected: "Zhong Miao, have you considered it clearly?"


    Pang Tong also liked Huo Jun because he was good at military affairs and smart. Such an assistant, he is not willing to let Huo Jun easily take risks.


    However, Pang Tong respected Huo Jun''s choice. If Huo Jun really insisted on going, Pang Tong would not interfere.


    Huo Jun said: "military adviser, I have already considered my humble position clearly."


    Pang Tong nodded, looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Lord, Huo Jun is worthy of great use and can judge the situation. He is the most suitable person to go to Wan county."


    Liu Xiu looked at Huo Jun and said, "Huo Jun, I look forward to your good news."


    Huo Jun said: "I will live up to my Lord''s high expectations."


    "Go


    Liu Xiu waved his hand with expectation in his eyes.


    Liu Xiu knows that Huo Jun''s talent is outstanding, but whether Huo Jun can stand out, it also needs time and again to set off. This time, it is Huo Jun''s opportunity.


    "No!"


    Huo Jun bows to salute again and then exits the hall.


    He went to the backyard of the government office, changed his clothes, and then prepared for it. He rode out of Chaoyang County and quickly went to Wan County in the north.


    When he went to Wan County, he didn''t make it public. He was light and simple all the way.


    From Chaoyang County to Wan County, it took him five days to reach Wan county because of the barrier and the road. Entering the county, Huo Jun first finds an inn to settle down, and then begins to inquire about Jia Xu, Cao Ren and Xu Huang.


    Since we have to do something, we must be well prepared.


    Since he was a child, Huo Jun came into contact with military affairs. He was also familiar with military books and understood the truth of knowing himself and his enemy, so he did not fight unprepared battles.


    It took him a day and a half to find out the general situation.


    These include Jia Xu''s residence, the location of Cao Ren, and even how long it will take Cao Ren to arrive at Jia Xu''s residence.


    Huo Jun kept all the news in mind.


    At midnight on that day, Huo Jun walked out of the Inn and went straight to Jia Xu''s house.


    Jia Xu''s residence is actually close to the government.


    Huo Jun arrived at a quarter past two. He went to the door and knocked on the door.


    After a while, a porter poked his head out and asked, "who are you looking for?"


    Huo Jun looked calm and said, "please tell Mr. Jia that relatives from Zixu county are visiting."


    "You wait."


    After listening to Huo Jun''s words, the porter didn''t dare to delay and immediately went in.


    Huo Jun stood at the door, muttering: "a quarter of an hour." After that, he often breathed a sigh of relief, shaking his sleeves with both hands, straightening his clothes and waiting quietly.


    A moment later, the door opened and the Porter said, "my Lord is waiting for you in the hall."


    "Thank you very much."


    Huo Jun said thanks, and then walked to the hall.


    Entering the hall, Huo Jun meets Jia Xu.


    At this time, Jia Xuduan was sitting right above the hall, his face was calm, like a vast lake, without any waves. The calm eyes even made Huo Jun''s heart throb.Hard to deal with!


    In Huo Jun''s heart, there was such an idea.


    In an instant, Huo Jun adjusted his mind and broke away from Jia Xu''s aura to ensure that he was not deterred by Jia Xu.


    Jia Xu''s eyes show a trace of surprise, because the person who can break away from his aura is not simple. Just now I heard that a relative from Xu county was visiting. Jia xusi wanted to go. He couldn''t find anyone. He might be someone with a different purpose.


    Without waiting for Huo Jun to speak, Jia Xu took the lead in saying, "you look at me, but you call yourself my relative. I don''t know what kind of relationship you have with me."


    Huo Jun''s face was calm and he said, "I''m Huo Jun, nobody. I want to come to see Mr. Jia. With my name, I''m afraid I can''t see Mr. Jia. So, I''m sorry to pretend to be Mr. Jia''s relative. "


    "Oh..."


    Jia Xu''s eyes narrowed slightly and examined Huo Jun.


    For a moment, Huo Jun felt as if he had been watched by a poisonous snake, and his heart was full of waves.


    Huo Jun stood at the bottom, keeping calm on his face, still neither humble nor overbearing.


    No one took the lead in the confrontation.


    Almost half a quarter of an hour, Jia Xu suddenly burst out laughing. In an instant, the quiet atmosphere and stalemate were broken. With a smile on his face, Jia Xu said, "so, are you from the south?"


    Huo Jun said: "I admire Mr. Jia for his brilliant eyes."


    Jia Xu was not in a hurry and said, "Liu Xiu sent you here on his own initiative. I don''t know what Liu Xiu sent you to do?"


    Huo Jun said: "the reason why Liu Jingzhou was sent down is because Pang Gong was assassinated and Xiangyang was in turmoil."


    Jia Xu said, "does Liu Xiu want to settle accounts with me? Or, because Liu Xiu saw through my plan and interrupted my plan, he was not reconciled. He felt that the victory was not smooth enough and did not fight back. So I sent you to humiliate me? "


    Huo Jun shook his head and said, "Mr. Jia is ridiculous!"


    Jia Xu said, "well, what''s the matter with Liu Xiu sending you to Wan county?"


    Huo Jun said: "Liu Jingzhou sent him down to Wan county because Liu Jingzhou cherished his talents and thought that Mr. Jia was talented. He was wronged by Cao Cao and could not fulfill his ambition. Therefore, he hoped that Mr. Jia would go south to Xiangyang and work together with Liu Jingzhou."


    "Mr. Jia''s plot to stir up Xiangyang is highly admired by Liu Jingzhou."


    "In the past, Mr. Jia, under the command of Li Qian and Guo Si, once offered some intrigues, which led to the killing of Wang Yun, and Li Qian and Guo Si were arrogant for several years."


    "In the past, Mr. Jia helped Zhang Xiu to resist Cao Cao for several years."


    Huo Jun continued: "Mr. Jia''s talent, Liu Jingzhou amazing, very much appreciated. So the next time I come here is to convey Liu Jingzhou''s goodwill. "


    After hearing this, Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and showed a smile on his face.


    Although Huo Jun''s words are suspected of flattery, praise is always pleasant.


    Huo Jun then stepped forward, took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Jia Xu''s desk and said, "Mr. Jia, this letter is Liu Jingzhou''s promise. As long as Mr. Jia is willing to submit to Liu Jingzhou, he will be a prime minister in the future. "


    This letter was not sealed with fire paint, but in an envelope.


    Jia Xu nodded and picked up the letter.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    At this time, a sound of footsteps came from the outside.


    "Mr. Wenhe, I just received the latest war report."


    Cao Ren''s voice came, immediately, Cao Ren has strided in. Jia Yugang picked up the letter, but he hasn''t opened it yet. But now when he saw Cao Ren and Huo Jun''s smile, he had a bad feeling.

 Chapter 414

    It''s a trick!


    In Jia Xu''s heart, there was such an idea.


    At the moment, the letter in his hand was as hot as a brand iron, but now he could not take out the letter, so he could only slowly put it on the desk.


    Although Jia Xu was surprised, there was no emotion on his face.


    Cao Ren enters the hall and looks at Huo Jun.


    At this time, Huo Jun took the initiative to salute and said, "Huo Jun, envoy of Jingzhou, has met general Cao."


    "Are you LIU Xiu''s man?"


    Cao Ren''s eyes showed a trace of surprise.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu sent envoys to Wan County, but he had no idea.


    Jia Xuduan sat on the top, his eyes suddenly became sharper than ever. He now saw Huo Jun take the initiative to open his mouth, but also to sit in the heart of speculation, Huo Jun''s trip must have a purpose.


    Jia Xu said: "Huo Jun, now that you have finished..."


    As soon as he spoke, Cao Ren interrupted him and said, "Huo Jun, what did Liu Xiu ask you to do?"


    Jia Xu felt even worse when he saw this.


    It seems that the situation is out of control, especially the letter on the desk, which Jia Xu is looking at. Jia Xu can be sure that this letter must be catchy. It must be Liu Xiu''s masterpiece.


    However, Huo Jun was able to seize Cao Renlai''s time to present a letter. It was really a great effort.


    Huo Jun took a look at Jia Xu and said, "report back to general Cao. There are two things to do next time. The first thing is to meet Mr. Jia. Liu Jingzhou said that Mr. Jia has outstanding talent and is a talented person in Kuangfu''s Han Dynasty. Therefore, he hopes Mr. Jia can be obedient. "


    With these words, Huo Jun takes a look at the desk intentionally or unintentionally.


    Cao Ren also found the letter, immediately stood up, went directly to the past, picked up the letter, then said: "this letter is Liu Xiu to Jia Xu?"


    "Yes


    Huo Jun nodded and did not deny it.


    Cao Ren directly took out the letter, and then read one side, frowned.


    Some of the contents of the letter were clearly seen, which belonged to Jia Xu, who appreciated Liu Xiu. Some of them were smeared with ink. It can be seen that Liu Xiu gave them the conditions.


    Such a letter made Cao Ren very dissatisfied.


    Smear!


    Jia Xu smeared ink on the letter. What does that mean?


    Cao Ren snorted, gave the letter to Jia Xu, and returned to his seat.


    After looking at one side, Jia Xu suddenly understood that the ink was smeared on the letter. It was clear that Liu Xiu deliberately wanted to alienate him. Jia Xu said: "general Cao, the contents of the letter..."


    As soon as he opened his mouth, Huo Jun said directly, "general Cao, Mr. Jia actually refused Liu Jingzhou''s invitation before. The reason why he smeared ink was because he was worried about general Cao''s suspicions. Ah, Mr. Jia is really devoted to Prime Minister Cao. It''s enviable. "


    That''s what he said, but from Jia Xu''s words and Huo Jun''s words, they have two meanings.


    Huo Jun explained that Cao Ren didn''t believe it at all.


    To be sure, Cao Ren believed that Jia Xu would not betray Cao Cao for the time being, but he believed that Jia Xu smeared the letter. In Cao Ren''s opinion, at least Jia Xu was moved, which made him unhappy.


    Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and said, "Huo Jun, I didn''t expect you to be so powerful. It seems that you are not a small role. If I kill you, I don''t know if Liu Xiu will be heartbroken. "


    He realized the meaning of Huo Jun''s words just now.


    Explain for Jia Xu, sit down and let Jia Xu read the letter, and then daub the ink.


    However, Jia Xu is hard to refute.


    Huo Jun said with a smile: "does Mr. Jia want to kill people? Ha ha, I''m just a nobody. I''m not sorry to die. If Mr. Jia wants to be killed, please do it. "


    Jia Xu said, "do you really think I dare not?"


    "Somebody


    Jia Xu drank loudly and suddenly a group of soldiers rushed in from the outside.


    Cao Ren said, "Jia Xu, what are you going to do?"


    After hearing this, Jia Xu said, "general Cao, is Huo Jun sent by Liu Xiu to alienate us? This man should be killed. "


    Huo Jun shook his head with a smile and said, "Mr. Wenhe is a big fallacy. I''m just finishing Liu Jingzhou''s arrangement. The first thing I want to do is to recruit Mr. Jia. The second thing I want to do is to recruit general Cao. Although general Cao was defeated by Liu Jingzhou, Liu Jingzhou said that general Cao''s ability is quite outstanding. He has a good command of soldiers, so he hopes to work with general Cao. Liu Jingzhou also said that although Prime Minister Cao occupied the north, he still survived. General Cao followed Liu Jingzhou and left a way for Cao''s family. "


    "Son of a bitch!"


    Cao Ren narrowed his eyes and scolded: "I will follow the prime minister to the death and never change."


    "Alas..."


    After hearing this, Huo Jun said, "it seems that this task can''t be finished. I wanted to recruit Mr. Jia and general Cao, but now they have been severely rejected. It seems that they have really failed. "After hearing the speech, Cao Ren took another look at Jia Xu.


    In my eyes, there is a little more examination.


    Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "general Cao, Huo Jun has come to persuade people to surrender, but actually he has another purpose. General Cao, I suggest, kill Huo Jun directly. "


    Cao Ren said: "kill? Why kill? Do you want to shut up? What''s the point of killing like this. Mr. Jia, even if you see the conditions given by Liu Xiu, it''s human nature. I won''t say anything. After all, this is your style. Therefore, there is no need to kill Huo Jun to prove yourself. As the saying goes, when the two armies are at war, the envoys will not be killed. If Liu Xiu sent his envoys here, he would have killed them directly. What would he do in the future? You can rest assured that you will be trusted. "


    After hearing this, Jia Xu frowned.


    What is style?


    The meaning of the words is to satirize that he was loyal to Dong Zhuo, Li Yi and Guo Si, and later to Zhang Xiu, and then to Cao Cao.


    It means that Jia Xu himself is a climber.


    Even the so-called belief has its roots.


    Jia Xu takes a look at Huo Jun, but thinks of Liu Xiu in his heart. Liu Xiu''s estrangement is not a success, but it gives birth to a knot between him and Cao Ren.


    Perhaps Liu Xiu didn''t hope for the success of his estrangement plan. Liu Xiu''s purpose was to solve this problem.


    Jia Xu''s back gave birth to a chill.


    Liu Xiu is a little scary.


    Huo Jun chuckled two times and said: "after listening to general Cao''s words, now I want to come. It seems that my Lord''s sending me down to persuade him to surrender is a waste of time. But Mr. Jia wants to be killed. What about general Cao? "


    Cao Ren waved his hand and said, "go away, you will not kill the envoys."


    "Thank you, general Cao."


    With a smile on his face, Huo Jun bows to Cao Ren.


    He turned and walked out of the hall for a few steps. When he was about to reach the door, he suddenly turned to look at Jia Xu and said, "Mr. Jia, take care!"


    After that, Huo Jun turned and left.


    Jia Xu narrowed his eyes, and there was a trace of killing in his eyes. He has always been very good to protect himself, and even he calculated people, this time, he was calculated by Liu Xiu.


    When Cao Ren heard the word "take care", his eyes were even more awe inspiring. He said in a deep voice, "Mr. Jia, you know how the prime minister takes you. Ben will hope that you can stick to your heart. Although Liu Xiu defeated the prime minister''s army, Liu Xiu only had Jingzhou after all. He wants to beat the prime minister. That''s impossible. "


    After hearing this, Jia Xu knew that there was a knot in Cao Ren''s heart. Although Cao Ren still believed in him, I''m afraid it''s hard to solve this small knot.


    Jia Xu arched his hand and said, "don''t worry, general Cao. I understand."


    "Take good care of yourself. Goodbye."


    Cao Ren originally planned to discuss the battlefield situation with Jia Xu, but now he was not in the mood and left directly.


    Jia Xu watched Cao Ren leave, then withdrew his eyes, fell on the letter and murmured: "Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, your move is simple, but it really achieves the goal. But if you think you want to weaken me just by this, you are wrong. "


    Although he fell in the trap this time, he didn''t hurt his muscles and bones after all. As long as Jia Xu can give advice and heavily hurt Liu Xiu in the next war, he can easily change this image.

 Chapter 415

    When Huo Jun walked out of Jia Xu''s house, he was already sweating on his back.


    It''s too much pressure to see Jia Xu this time.


    If he didn''t calculate the right time and Cao Ren would arrive at this time, it would be impossible to succeed. And success also depends on Cao Ren''s prejudice against Jia Xu. Only in this case can he succeed.


    Back to the inn, Huo Jun packed up the salute, and directly rode away.


    After leaving Wan County, Huo Jun finally relaxed.


    This task can be regarded as a successful completion.


    The road to the South was smooth, and Huo Jun did not stop. He quickly returned to Chaoyang County.


    Back at the yamen, Huo Jun met Liu Xiu in the hall and said, "my Lord, I am so lucky that I have fulfilled my mission. At that time, as soon as Jia Xu got the letter, Cao Ren arrived. After reading the letter, Cao Ren said that he believed Jia Xu was loyal to Cao Cao, but he thought that Jia Xu was moved by the conditions of the Lord, and he had a knot in his heart. "


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes showed appreciation.


    Immediately, Liu Xiu asked, "at that time, were you not made difficult by Cao Ren?"


    When Huo Jun heard the speech, he had a bright smile on his face and said, "Lord, I''m not only not embarrassed by Cao Ren. On the contrary, the reason why he was able to come back this time was Cao Ren''s help. After Jia Xu had a knot in Cao Ren''s heart, he wanted to kill his humble position. Then, Cao Ren said that the two armies would not kill envoys when they were at war. Just imagine, Jia Xu killed me to prove his innocence, but the more he did, the more Cao Ren distrusted him. "


    "In fact, Jia Xu himself has no choice."


    "If Jia Xu chooses to kill me, then he is anxious to prove his innocence, but the letter has been filled up, and Jia Xu smeared it, so he is 300 liang of silver here."


    "If Jia Xu chose to protect me, he would have been partial to the Lord."


    Huo Jun said: "in the scene at that time, Jia Xu really made a wrong move. If he made a mistake, he would lose everything. Moreover, no matter what, when Cao Ren saw the letter, he was naturally uncomfortable and would definitely have a pimple. Because Cao Ren insists, I can come back smoothly. "


    Liu Xiu nodded, his eyes also showed appreciation.


    As soon as the words changed, Liu Xiu said, "Huang Hu, please invite Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Pang Tong to discuss the matter."


    "No!"


    Outside the gate, Huang Hu answered and went down to pass the order.


    Not long after, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Pang Tong all came to the hall.


    When they saw Huo Jun coming back, their eyes showed a trace of brilliance and expectation. After the salute, the three were seated directly.


    "Huo Jun has successfully completed his mission during his trip," Liu said With Liu Xiu''s confirmation, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Pang Tong were all excited.


    Pang Tong said: "Lord, since the first step plan is successful, then it is the second step plan."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "the second step plan is the key." With that, Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Ren and said, "Zhang Ren, are you ready?"


    Zhang Ren Baoquan said: "return to the Lord, everything is ready, ready to move at any time."


    "Good!"


    There was a trace of excitement in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    Liu xiudao: "now, wait for the news of the royal guards."


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a shout came from outside the hall.


    Immediately, a warrior in a black robe rushed in, then knelt down on one knee and reported: "Qi Zhi Zhou mu, now he has bribed a petty official of Wan County Yamen. He promised to inquire about Cao Ren''s movements."


    "Good!"


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, he was very happy.


    The key to this stop is the petty official.


    In fact, the reason why he was able to bribe this petty official was that Liu Xiu''s request was very simple. What Liu Xiu asked was that the petty officials should pass on the news about Cao Ren''s trend and Jia Xu''s situation.


    Apart from that, there are no requirements.


    Moreover, the royal guards give too much money to succeed.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "go down!"


    "No!"


    After the soldiers of the royal guards stepped down, Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Ren and said, "everything is ready. Now, we can move."


    "I''ll arrange it."


    Zhang Ren''s heart is also excited, looking forward to the beginning of this plan.


    After Zhang Ren went on, Wei Yan also left.


    The rest also stepped down, leaving only Liu Xiu and Pang Tong.


    Pang Tong said: "this is the most special plan we have ever had. Fighting a war is not for any city, not for food and equipment, but for people. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "war is out of the ordinary, water is out of the ordinary. This is the way to use troops. If Cao Ren and Jia Xu unite, it will pose a great threat to us. Even though he can''t shake Jingzhou for the time being, it''s always inconvenient for Jia Xu to stir up the wind and rain behind his back. Instead of this, it''s better to take Jia Xu directly. "Pang Tong said with a smile: "Jia Xu should also be regarded as an honor. When the Lord launched the war, he didn''t want to win, just for him."


    Liu Xiu laughed and his eyes were full of expectations.


    Zhang Ren dispatched soldiers from the surrounding counties of Chaoyang County, and then approached Xinye County in the north, intending to attack Xinye county.


    This move was quite secretive.


    However, he was "accidentally" discovered by Cao Ren''s spies.


    The Scout sent the news back to Wan County, and Cao Ren soon got the news.


    Cao Ren called Xu Huang and Jia Xu together, and the magistrate and the chief bookkeeper of Wan County discussed political affairs together. With a smile in his eyes, Cao Ren said: "you guys, I just got the news that Zhang Ren is secretly dispatching soldiers to attack Xinye county. This news was also discovered by the Sentinels who would have been sent out by accident. "


    "Now, Zhang Ren certainly thought he would not know."


    "At this time, if Ben will deploy his troops, make preparations in advance, lay an ambush, and wait for Zhang Ren''s soldiers to enter the urn. In that case, Zhang Ren will be able to make a big fall. "


    Cao Ren''s eyes are full of fighting spirit.


    He and Xu Huang are in Nanyang County. Now it is not difficult to take the next step. Under such circumstances, Cao Ren is also eager to make contributions and is eager to prove his ability.


    After hearing this, Xu Huang asked, "general Cao, how did the sentinel find out?"


    Cao Ren said: "the reason why the spies can find it is because when the spies distributed in Xinye went hunting in the mountains, they met an army marching in the mountains. And then come back quickly. Otherwise, we don''t know that Zhang Ren has quietly dispatched soldiers. "


    Xu Huang nodded and said, "in this way, then, this is the opportunity."


    Jia Xu narrowed his eyes, but there was a dignified look on his face.


    Spies found it!


    By accident!


    Is it the other party''s intention?


    Since Jia Xu was designed by Liu Xiu, and then had a knot with Cao Ren, Jia Xu was pondering, thinking that Liu Xiu might have begun to take positive action. This time, it might be Liu Xiu''s work.


    Without opening his mouth, Jia Xu asked Cao Ren, "Mr. Wenhe, what do you think of this?"


    Asked, Jia Xu replied: "general Cao, I do not recommend going to ambush. In my opinion, this situation is likely to be a maze deliberately set up by Liu Xiu. It may be that Liu Xiu wants the general to go. After all, there is a garrison in Xinye. As long as the garrison is stationed, there will be no problem. "


    Cao Ren was not happy when he heard this.


    Lao Tzu''s spies finally heard the news, and you said it was not suitable to send troops?


    Cao Ren said in a deep voice, "Mr. Jia, don''t you believe in this general?"


    Jia Xu was silent for a moment. He shook his head and said, "it''s not that I don''t believe it. It''s the current situation. It''s really possible that Liu Xiu designed it. Therefore, I do not agree with sending troops. "


    After hearing this, Cao Ren even said, "hum, it seems that Mr. Jia is really afraid of Liu Xiu, or he wants Liu Xiu. I''m afraid it''s difficult to count on Mr. Jia. "


    Jia Xu heard the speech and sighed.


    Before Liu Xiu used the effect of the alienation meter, this is the effect caused by pimples. In other words, when Huo Jun did not come, such a situation would certainly not happen. Cao Ren would never deny his proposal or satirize him so much.


    Now the situation is that Cao Ren is openly against him.

 Chapter 416

    Jia Xu was speechless, but Cao Ren was contemptuous. He continued: "Mr. Jia, the prime minister asked you to come to Nanyang County to plan for us, not to flinch when Liu Xiu''s army moves. Do you understand?"


    Strong words made Jia Xu feel uncomfortable.


    Jia Xu light said: "I understand!"


    Cao Ren''s eyes showed a sharp look, and he said: "in that case, you should not stop this general from sending troops. Of course, you can''t stop it. "


    "Yes, I remember."


    Jia Xu nodded and stopped talking.


    Cao Ren''s face showed satisfaction, so he discussed with Xu Huang and immediately dispatched 5000 soldiers to Xinye.


    The dispute between Cao Ren and Jia Xu was not a big deal. It was easy for the petty officials of the county government to find out, and then spread the news.


    The news soon came back to Chaoyang County.


    When Liu Xiu got the news, he immediately summoned Zhang Ren and Wei Yan.


    Liu xiudao: "there is a conflict between Cao Ren and Jia Xu. Jia Xu does not approve of sending troops. Cao Ren insists that this is an opportunity to send troops. Now, it''s an opportunity to alienate Jia Xu and Cao Ren. Zhang Ren, the next war is up to you. "


    "No!"


    Zhang Ren''s eyes also showed excitement.


    After he and Wei delayed, they began to give orders, telling the soldiers who sneaked close to Xinye county to seize the right time. After Cao Ren''s ambush arrived in Xinye County, they began to attack Xinye county.


    At the beginning of this attack, Zhang Ren''s elite soldiers stormed and gained an advantage.


    At the critical moment, Cao Ren''s army came out and surrounded Zhang Ren''s soldiers from behind, while Cao''s soldiers in Xinye city also came out quickly and cooperated with Cao Ren''s army.


    For a moment, Zhang Ren''s soldiers were defeated and retreated immediately.


    Cao''s quick cover up and killing caused a large number of casualties among Zhang Ren''s soldiers. However, Zhang Ren had already deployed his soldiers. When Cao''s cover up and killing came out, the soldiers turned the situation around and then withdrew safely.


    The battle was not long, but ended in the defeat of Zhang Ren''s army.


    When the troops returned to Chaoyang County, they were put in barracks.


    When Zhang Ren counted the news, he went straight to the Yamen to meet Liu Xiu and reported: "Lord, this battle is over. Cao Jun has won one."


    Liu xiudao said: "now, we will wait for the news from Wan county and see what happened to Cao Ren. Before Jia Xu opened his mouth to stop Cao Ren, now Cao Ren has won, he can''t have no action. "


    Zhang Ren''s eyes twinkled with brilliance, and said: "then wait and see."


    ¡­¡­


    Wan County, Fuya.


    At present, when the news of Fang Dasheng comes back, Cao Ren is really excited.


    Cao Ren and Xu Huang sat opposite each other, Cao Ren said: "Gongming, we have fought with Liu Xiu too much, but now, we have finally won a victory. Although this victory is not big and there is no substantial result, it is also good to defeat Liu Xiu''s army, defeat Zhang Ren''s edge and suppress Liu Xiu''s arrogance. "


    Xu Huang nodded: "as long as we continue to accumulate, continue to frustrate Liu Xiu''s arrogance, and ultimately win, it is entirely possible."


    Cao Ren said with a smile: "it''s true. Once we have our morale and prestige, and even let Liu Xiu mess up, then we can foresee our chance to win."


    As soon as the words changed, Cao Ren said, "it''s Jia Xu, Gongming. Don''t you think it''s strange?"


    "Strange what?" Asked Xu Huang.


    Cao Ren said: "the last time I got the news, it was a good opportunity to ambush the Jingzhou army, but he said that it might be Liu Xiu''s stratagem. Ha, it seems that he was really afraid of Liu Xiu. Or, his heart began to shake, not so firmly on the side of the prime minister


    Xu Huang shook his head and said, "brother Zixiao, you are so thoughtful. There is no doubt that Jia Yuzhong is loyal to the prime minister. "


    Xu Huang is not willing to say more about Jia Xu.


    After all, it is Cao Ren who is not willing to get involved in the dispute between Cao Ren and Jia Xu. Moreover, the last opportunity to ambush the Jingzhou army was indeed a great opportunity, but Jia Xu''s opposition really made Xu Huang feel incredible.


    Cao Ren said, "I don''t know if I''m a multi-minded person, but Jia Xu, as a counselor, can''t even see this clearly. Gongming, you don''t have to excuse him. "


    "Somebody


    Cao Ren saw a soldier come in quickly.


    Cao Ren said, "please come to the Yamen."


    "No!"


    The soldier was ordered to turn and retreat.


    Not long after, Jia Xu came to the hall. After bowing, he took a seat in the hall and said, "general Cao asked me to come. Is there anything important?"


    Cao Ren said: "this will invite Mr. Jia to announce the war in Xinye."


    "The war in Xinye?"Jia Xu''s eyes narrowed and looked at Cao Ren, then he knew that he was afraid of winning the war. If Cao Ren failed, he would not show his high attitude.


    Sure enough, Cao renlang said: "in this battle, we won a complete victory and defeated Zhang Ren''s Jingzhou army."


    "Congratulations to general Cao."


    Jia Xu''s eyes are still deep, like a cold pool with no waves.


    Cao Ren said: "horses have their feet crossed, and people have their feet crossed. It seems that Mr. Jia also made mistakes. Mr. Jia, it seems that you really miscalculated in this war. "


    Jia Xu said calmly: "I admire the general''s wisdom."


    Jia Xu''s posture made Cao Ren feel powerless.


    Originally intended to stimulate Jia Xu, but now it seems impossible, because Jia Xu is completely free from oil and salt, and is not affected at all.


    Cao Ren still did not give up, asked: "Mr. Jia miscalculated, is there nothing to say?"


    The aggressive attitude made Jia Xu frown slightly.


    Xu Huang did not speak. He was just like a spectator, not involved in the fight between Jia Xu and Cao Ren.


    Jia Xu said with a light smile: "general Cao, I have said that just now."


    "What did you say?" Cao Ren asked.


    Jia Xu said: "I admire the general''s wisdom."


    Cao Ren sneered with a touch of pride in his eyes. He said with a straight face: "in this case, I hope Mr. Jia will think about it carefully next time he encounters a war, and don''t worry about Liu Xiu any more. Liu Xiu''s Jingzhou army is not invincible, but also ordinary people. "


    "No!"


    Jia Xu answered, but his hand in his sleeve was pinched tightly.


    Even though he was Cao Cao, he never humiliated him like this. I didn''t expect that Cao Ren was like this.


    Jia Xu''s face was old well, and he said, "if general Cao has nothing else to do, then I will leave."


    "Take your time, no see off!"


    Cao Ren nodded and said with a smile.


    Jia Xu stood up and walked out of the hall, but when he left the government, he was black faced and depressed. In this war, Jia Xu felt that there were many doubts.


    However, it was a real victory, and a regular one.


    He felt suspicious in his heart, but could not find the reason.


    In particular, Cao Ren''s attitude towards him made Jia Xu have the idea of restricting him. He felt that Cao Ren had been aiming at him everywhere because of the previous things.


    Under such circumstances, it will be very difficult to cooperate with Cao Ren sincerely.


    Jia Xu''s gesture of leaving the Yamen and the conversation between Cao Ren and Jia Xu were all overheard by the servants in the yamen, and then the news was passed to an official in the county yamen.


    After several times of transmission, the news spread to the royal guards.


    The royal guards sent the news, and the result quickly spread to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu knew that Cao Ren was aiming at Jia Xu because of his victory, and he already had a bright smile on his face. It seems that before Huo Jun went to Wan County, things began to ferment. With this result, Cao Ren began to target Jia Xu.


    In particular, the war deepened Cao Ren''s fear of Jia Xu and deepened the gap between them.


    When Liu Xiu got the news, he sent Pang Tong, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Huo Jun to the hall of the government.


    When they were seated, Liu xiudao said: "Cao Ren won the battle, and he was even more afraid of Jia Xu. So here''s our chance. Now, we can prepare for the next step. "

 Chapter 417

    After Zhang Ren listened, his eyes showed an excited look.


    Finally, it''s the moment!


    Before, he sent soldiers to deliver the failure, and his heart was very upset. Even though we know that this is deliberately let Cao Ren win, let Cao Ren proud for a while, but there is always a knot in my heart.


    Now, at last, it''s time to March normally.


    In this war, we must let Cao Ren have a taste of his strength and let him know the strength of his fifth army.


    Zhang Ren zhengse said: "Lord, please order. The soldiers in the army have already been unable to restrain themselves. They are all clamoring for revenge."


    Wei Yan said: "it''s time for Cao Ren to fight back."


    Liu Xiu ordered: "Zhang Ren listens to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Zhang Ren stood up with sharp eyes. He couldn''t wait.


    Liu xiudao: "act according to the plan!"


    "No!"


    Zhang Ren should be boxing, and Wei Yan looked at each other, the two turned back.


    Pang Tong said with a smile: "Lord, success or failure depends on this. It depends on whether Jia Xu has fallen into the trap."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Jia Xu''s character is self-protection. He blocked Cao Ren last time, but Cao Ren forced his troops to win, so that Cao Ren had more opinions on Jia Xu. Now, when there is another war in Xinye, Cao Ren will send troops again. He will be silent and will not express his opinions. "


    Pang Tong said: "in this way, we will wait and see."


    Liu Xiu and Pang Tong deduced Jia Xu''s character and ways of doing things according to various materials.


    Then, we made a plan for Jia Xu.


    Now that the plan has come to this stage, Jia Xu is hard to choose.


    In half a day, Zhang Ren mobilized 5000 troops to Xinye county. This time, Zhang Ren did not hide his troops, but sent them openly.


    The news soon spread to Wan county.


    When Cao Ren got the news, he immediately invited Xu Huang and Jia Xu to the hall of the government.


    Cao Ren said: "Zhang Ren was defeated last time, but he was not reconciled. This time, he had already sent 5000 troops to Xinye county. How do you think about this war? "


    Xu Huang said: "Zhang Ren sent troops to attack Xinye county. We certainly can''t sit back and ignore him. In this case, we must send troops to the rescue. "


    Jia Xu sat on the right side, but he didn''t speak.


    Cao Ren never let Jia Xu go and asked, "how did Mr. Jia think about it?"


    Jia Xu said: "report back to the general. I respect the general''s opinion."


    A word is neither humble nor arrogant, but it is equivalent to saying nothing and not participating in the war at all.


    As a matter of fact, Jia Xu thinks that it is necessary to send troops, but he always thinks that Zhang Ren''s actions are unusual. However, Cao Ren has a prejudice against him, so he is too lazy to put forward his own opinions.


    Cao Ren said: "Mr. Jia is very resourceful. Now Jingzhou soldiers are attacking, how can you not put forward your own ideas?"


    Jia Xu shook his head and said, "I really can''t think of anything."


    Cao Ren said, "well, since Mr. Jia doesn''t want to talk, that''s OK."


    After a pause, Cao Ren looked at Xu Huang and said, "Gongming, Jingzhou soldiers are approaching Xinye. They must be rescued. Now, you immediately send 3000 soldiers from the army to support


    "No!"


    Xu Huang nods and answers, then turns to go down.


    Jia Xu arched his hand and said, "general Cao, if nothing happens, I will go down."


    "Yes


    Cao Ren nodded and didn''t stop him.


    Jia Xu bowed his hand, stood up and left.


    Cao Ren stared at Jia Xu''s back, but narrowed his eyes and said: "Jia Xu, Jia Xu, recently, you are more and more presumptuous. Are you really going to turn your back on the prime minister


    For Jia Xu''s action, Cao Ren is also very dissatisfied.


    However, Cao Ren has not grasped the handle now, so what can he do to Jia Xu?


    Jia Xu left the government office with a lonely expression. Now Cao Ren is aiming at him everywhere, which makes him rather difficult. However, such a thing is obviously not suitable for Cao Cao''s ears, otherwise it will cause disputes between him and Cao Ren.


    Cao Ren and Jia Xu parted unhappily, but the news of Xu Huang''s going out to lead the army was not a secret, and he did not hide it. Soon he was heard by his family, and then spread it out.


    When the royal guards got the news, they immediately sent a letter back to Chaoyang County.


    When Liu Xiu got the news, he let go of all his worries. As long as Jia Xu didn''t put forward any suggestions, neither obstructed nor participated in the war, that would be the best result.


    Pang Tong arched his hand and said, "Lord, everything is as planned. This battle will be won. Congratulations, Lord."


    Liu xiudao: "Shiyuan, you also participated in the formulation of the plan. You are also responsible for winning this battle. Since it''s a happy event, it''s the same thing. "Pang Tong nodded, his face also showed a brilliant smile.


    ¡­¡­


    Zhang Ren dispatched 5000 soldiers to Xinye county and launched an attack. In this attack, the weapons are stronger and the soldiers are more aggressive. Xinye county was attacked and resisted, waiting for reinforcements from Wan county.


    Liuhe mountain is located 26 miles north of Xinye county.


    This place has been stained with countless wind and frost.


    Liuhe mountain is a typical mountain situation, with steep cliffs on both sides and withered trees standing on the mountain. The real official road is located in the middle of the steep mountain.


    Cao Ren''s 3000 reinforcements going south are bound to pass through the central government.


    However, on this important road, Cao Ren had already sent troops to stay in the valley along the way to avoid being ambushed by Jingzhou soldiers. So when the army entered the ancient road of Liuhe mountain, without any worries, they went straight south.


    Three thousand soldiers made their way and soon entered the center of the mountain road.


    "Kill, kill Cao Jun."


    At this time, on the slope above Liuhe mountain, an army suddenly came out.


    This army all fired rockets from both sides of the mountain road into the Valley Road. At this time, it was cold winter. The weather was dry and there were many dead branches and leaves in the valley. When the Rockets were thrown into the Valley Road, the fire immediately started.


    At the same time, pots of fire oil were thrown down the hillside.


    The jar fell to the ground and broke.


    The fire oil flowed everywhere. After being ignited by the burning rocket, the fire was even higher and more turbulent. In a moment, the ancient road in Liuhe mountain turned into a sea of fire.


    Even the soldiers stationed in the mountains were all affected.


    The general in charge was completely confused. He couldn''t figure out how Jingzhou soldiers could get in when Mingming Liuhe had troops stationed in the mountain. It was just incredible.


    However, it''s too late to think about it.


    "Retreat, retreat!" roared the general


    The team kept retreating, but the ancient road in the mountain was burning. Whether it was advancing or retreating, it was a raging sea of fire.


    This situation is quite dangerous.


    The general can only lead the soldiers to break through quickly and strive to break out.


    A group of soldiers on the mountain, after seeing a sea of fire at the foot of the mountain, had quietly left.


    The fire is burning. The fire is strong.


    Finally, the general led more than 100 soldiers to escape.


    The rest of the soldiers, all buried in the sea of fire.


    In fact, many soldiers died in the sea of fire because they were crowded with each other during the retreat, resulting in trampling on each other and unable to retreat in time.


    The general stood outside the ancient road, looking at the burning fire, his eyes full of helplessness.


    This time, the loss is too great.


    The general also has no way, now cannot rescue temporarily, he can only withdraw. The general led his troops to retreat to Wan county. The Cao army began to retreat, and the Jingzhou soldiers who attacked Xinye county also began to retreat and gave up the attack.


    ¡­¡­


    Yamen, hall.


    The magistrate of Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Jia Xu and WAN County, the guests and the hosts were seated.


    In the middle of the hall stood the main general who had escaped.


    Cao Ren''s eyes were sharp, and he asked in a deep voice, "what''s the matter? Why did 3000 soldiers only come back more than 100?"


    The general replied, "report back to the general. When the general led his troops 26 li away from Xinye County, they passed Liuhe mountain and were ambushed by Jingzhou soldiers. At that time, Jingzhou soldiers actually projected rockets and earthenware pots filled with fire oil from the hillsides on both sides of Liuhe mountain. The whole valley road was ablaze, and the 3000 soldiers under the general could not escape, so that the whole army was destroyed. "


    After hearing this, Cao Ren clenched his fist and looked angry in his eyes.

 Chapter 418

    Three thousand soldiers are lost!


    This number directly hurt Cao Ren.


    Since the withdrawal of Cao Cao, Cao Ren''s march in the war has been quite steady, carefully reorganizing the soldiers, trying to restore the combat effectiveness as soon as possible. No, the number and combat effectiveness of his soldiers have just recovered, and they have won a small battle before. They are already happy in their hearts.


    However, not long after that, three thousand soldiers were completely destroyed.


    This result is hard for Cao Ren to accept.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, outside the hall, another soldier ran in quickly.


    The soldiers entered the hall, knelt down on one knee and reported: "general, the Jingzhou soldiers who attacked Xinye county have withdrawn. Now, the crisis in Xinye county has been lifted. "


    Cao Ren asked, "did they defeat the Jingzhou soldiers, or did they take the initiative to retreat?"


    The soldier replied, "it was the Jingzhou soldiers who took the initiative to withdraw. According to the estimation of the magistrate of Xinye County, if the Jingzhou soldiers attacked Xinye County for another two days, it would be enough to capture Xinye county. But in the end, the Jingzhou soldiers withdrew."


    "Is that the case?"


    When Cao Ren heard the speech, his eyes narrowed.


    "I see!"


    Suddenly, Xu Huang spoke.


    Cao Ren looked at Xu Huang and asked, "Gongming, what do you understand?"


    Xu Huang said: "Zhang Ren''s purpose this time is not Xinye, but our reinforcements. In other words, Zhang Ren''s strategy this time is to encircle the site and help, aiming at our reinforcements. Zhang Ren destroyed our reinforcements and naturally gave up attacking Xinye county. Perhaps in Zhang Ren''s view, to win a Xinye county is far better than to defeat 3000 troops. "


    When Cao Ren heard the speech, he was also shocked.


    He was also a soldier, and knew the main points of marching and fighting.


    Xu Huang a point, Cao Ren immediately understand.


    However, Cao Ren''s mind suddenly raised doubts and said: "Gongming, Zhang Ren''s strategy is good, but it''s very difficult to succeed in the strategy of encircling and supporting. Among them, first, he must know that we will have reinforcements to support us. After all, Xinye county did not send troops for help, so he could not know what we were going to send troops at this time. Second, he must know our march route and be able to determine the location of the ambush. Third, it is not easy for him to sneak into Xinye from Chaoyang County. If we don''t know the situation of our troops, it''s hard to avoid the inspection of the army and the search of spies. "


    After hearing this, Xu Huang''s eyes narrowed.


    Cao Ren''s words are full of words.


    Such words, Xu Huang is not suitable to continue to say, simply did not speak.


    Cao Ren''s eyes suddenly fell on Jia Xu and asked, "Mr. Jia, do you have anything to say?"


    Jia Xu said faintly: "I didn''t participate in this battle from the beginning to the end. Now that general Cao is defeated, what can I say? Is general Cao''s March too hasty? "


    When Cao Ren heard the speech, there was a trace of anger in his eyes.


    Cao Ren said: "this general suspected that you and Liu Xiu colluded and sold the intelligence."


    "Joke!"


    Jia Xu''s eyes narrowed and said coldly, "general Cao, you can eat whatever you like, but you can''t talk nonsense. Please pay attention to your words


    In Cao Ren''s mind, he had already had an opinion on Jia Xu.


    Now tear the face, is no longer scruples.


    Cao Ren said coldly, "at the beginning, Liu Xiu sent Huo Jun to Wan county to see you. What did you talk about with Huo Jun? Ben will not know. The letter Liu Xiu wrote to you was covered with ink. I didn''t know it. But since that day, you have been very strange. In your words, you even have a lot of protection for Liu Xiu. What do you say about that? "


    Jia Xu shook his head and said, "I am loyal to the prime minister. I have never been sorry for him. You know that Liu Xiu sent Huo Jun to solicit me. At that time, you also heard what Huo Jun said. "


    Cao Ren snorted: "Huo Jun naturally tried every means to excuse you, and when it was time, your conversation was over. The information that Ben will know is also limited. "


    Jia Xu said: "since the information you know is limited, please don''t let the general talk about it."


    Cao Ren continued: "well, about the last battle, it was a stable victory, but you can''t persuade it. In the end, Ben insisted on sending troops and won. This time, Liu Xiu actually aimed at the general''s reinforcements, but he was doomed to lose, but you didn''t say a word. "


    After a pause, Cao Ren said, "I have asked you, but you still don''t speak. Don''t you already know that Liu xiubu is ambushing. In other words, Liu Xiu''s ambush can arrive easily, and he can easily know that he will send reinforcements. All of these are contributed by you. Jia Wenhe, if it wasn''t for you, how could Liu Xiu ambush these 3000 soldiers? "


    Jia Xu stroked his beard and said, "if you want to add to the crime, why don''t you say so? General Cao insisted on adding the news of 3000 soldiers'' defeat to me."


    Cao Ren said, "this is the truth."


    Jia Xu said with a sneer, "you know the truth best."Cao Ren added: "if it wasn''t for you, it would never have caused the current situation. The only possibility is that you collude with Liu Xiu, or have already invested in Liu Xiu. Anyway, you are the most suspect. Ben will not kill you. He will let the prime minister deal with you. "


    "Somebody


    Cao Ren''s eyes were cold and he gave a loud drink.


    In an instant, two soldiers rushed in from outside the hall.


    When Jia Xu saw this scene, he stood up and scolded: "who dares to take me?"


    Cao Ren said: "Jia Xu, if you resist, there will be no amnesty for killing!"


    Cold words, cold eyes, and that deep in the eyes, a glimmer of hatred, all reflected in the eyes.


    When Jia Xu saw the soldiers coming and looked at Cao Ren again, he suddenly sneered and said, "the prime minister always said that Cao Ren has a good command of both literature and martial arts. Now it seems that he is just a man. It''s not worth mentioning. If the prime minister asks you to stay in Nanyang County, you have chosen the wrong person. "


    These words stimulated Cao Ren''s anger.


    "Take it down, put it in jail, and never release it without the general''s order."


    In Cao Ren''s eyes, there was a flash of killing intention.


    If it wasn''t for Cao Cao''s attitude towards Jia Xu, he would kill him now.


    When the soldier came, Jia Xu brushed his sleeve and said, "step back, I can walk by myself." Holding his head high, he left the hall, leaving behind the officials.


    When Jia Xu left, the atmosphere in the hall was still a little stalemate.


    Cao Ren said: "this time, the soldiers who have lost their troops will be recruited again immediately. In addition, we should pay close attention to Zhang Ren''s trend. In addition, we will deal with Jia Xu''s affairs separately. "


    When they heard the speech, they all nodded and said yes, but they did not speak.


    Cao Ren asked everyone to step down, leaving only Xu Huang.


    Cao Ren asked: "Gongming, Jia Xu is arrogant and arrogant, and now he colludes with Liu Xiu. What do you say to do?"


    Xu Huang said: "brother Zixiao, Jia Xu is, after all, the confidant of the prime minister. If you treat Jia Xu too much, I''m afraid it will be very difficult for the prime minister to pass. In my opinion, we should report truthfully and do what we should do. "


    After hearing this, Cao Ren nodded and said, "Gongming has a point. This is what we should do. However, this will believe that Jia Xu is definitely related to Liu Xiu. Otherwise, he should never have behaved like this in these two wars. "


    Xu Huang nodded, but did not answer.


    After Xu Huang retired, Cao Ren and others began to write the war report, describing Liu Xiu''s contact with Jia Xu in detail from the first war to the second war.


    Between the pen and ink, there is also a lot of suspicion and distrust of Jia Xu.


    After finishing his writing, Cao Ren reviewed it again and found that he had brought in too many personal opinions, so he simply wrote it again. After finishing the writing, check it again and find that it is still the same.


    Not satisfied twice in a row, Cao Ren wrote a letter alone, which was his suspicion of Jia Xu.


    Then, it is the real war report, which does not involve any emotion.


    After the two letters were packed, Cao Ren called for the soldiers and ordered them to rush to Xu county immediately to present the letter to Cao Cao, asking him to decide what happened in Nanyang County.

 Chapter 419

    In the cell, Jia Xu sits on the Artemisia mat.


    Face, full of helplessness.


    This time, it''s really unclear. I didn''t expect that Cao Ren actually put him in prison. Now in prison, he can''t even write a letter to Cao Cao. All he can do is listen to Cao Ren.


    Fortunately, Cao Ren did not dare to go too far and could not have killed him.


    Sitting on the straw mat, Jia Xu carefully pondered this battle, but there were still some doubts in his mind.


    So far, he hasn''t thought about it clearly.


    Zhang Ren didn''t attack Xinye. He just surrounded the area to fight for help and eliminated the people who went to the rescue. In fact, Zhang Ren was fully capable of seizing Xinye County, but he gave up.


    Obviously, Zhang Renzhi is not in Xinye.


    What is Zhang Ren''s ultimate goal?


    "What has been lost in this war?"


    "Three thousand soldiers have been lost!"


    "Apart from that, there seems to be none."


    Jia Xu murmured to himself, and his eyes flashed with light. Suddenly, a light flashed in his eyes, saying: "and myself, I''m imprisoned, I''m imprisoned by Cao Ren. Now, Cao Ren doesn''t believe me at all. "


    Dissension!


    Suddenly, Jia Xu put forward such an idea in his mind.


    With this idea, Jia Xu quickly combed.


    For the first time, Huo Jun came to Wan County in person, and he happened to choose Cao Ren''s arrival at the right time. It was clearly intended to make Cao Ren suspicious.


    The second time was to attack Xinye, because Liu Xiu asked Huo Jun to recruit Jia Xu, so that Jia Xu was worried about Zhang Ren''s sending troops to the south. Especially when he didn''t know the other party''s intention, Jia Xu dissuaded Cao Ren from sending troops. In fact, Cao Renzhen sent troops and finally won.


    The third time, Jia Xu did not persuade, so that Cao Ren''s army was defeated.


    Jia Xu was even more impressed and had a clearer understanding after he combed it.


    "The second time, Cao Ren and I were more suspicious. Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, this should be your plan. At the beginning, you expected that it would not be successful at one time, so it was divided into three steps to separate the relationship between Cao Ren and me step by step. "


    "Now, you''ve made it."


    "I thought Zhang Ren sent troops to attack Xinye county. Now it seems that dealing with me is your ultimate goal."


    Jia Xu murmured to himself, "maybe you are behind Zhang Ren''s plan. Or have you arrived in Chaoyang County? "


    When he said this, Jia Xu was shocked.


    If Liu Xiu really went to Chaoyang County, it would be different.


    Obviously, Liu Xiu is specialized in dealing with him.


    But in fact, when Jia Xu arrived in Nanyang County, he kept the news secret. But the final result is that Liu Xiu has gone to Chaoyang County to deal with him, which is a little scary.


    However, this is Jia Xu''s own inference, which can not be confirmed.


    "If Liu Xiu really goes to Chaoyang County, someone should come to see me soon."


    In Jia Xu''s heart, he had such an idea.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of walking came from the distance of the cell.


    I saw a burly man in prison clothes, with a ferocious appearance, five big and three thick, escorted by the jailer, came to the cell. The location of the gaoler was beside Jia Xu.


    When the jailer was put in, he leaned against the wall and did not speak at all.


    However, the jailer took a look at Jia Xu, then withdrew his eyes and stopped talking.


    Jia Xu thought that someone came to visit him, but he didn''t expect a jailer. He took a look at the jailer and raised his eyebrows, because the other side looked at him, and he felt that he was not an ordinary person.


    From each other''s temperament, he felt a different ordinary temperament, as if there was a military character.


    However, Jia Xu did not speak much, just sat quietly in the cell.


    As time goes by, the light in the cell darkens at night.


    Torches burn and disperse the darkness. Rao is so, the light is still very dark, looking from Jia Xu''s position to the jailer next to him, it is difficult to see each other''s appearance clearly.


    With the cold wind blowing, it was hard for Artemisia to keep warm. Jia Xu was lying on the mat, covered with quilt, but he couldn''t sleep.


    By the end of the night, Jia Xu was in a daze.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    All of a sudden, a rush of footsteps came from far and near in the silent cell.


    Jia Xu sleeps very shallow and wakes up. He lies on the straw mat with his back against the wall, but squints at the corridor of the prison.


    The sound of footsteps, getting closer and closer.


    Jia Xu''s heart was also raised.


    All of a sudden, several torches were shining in the air, dispersing the darkness in the cell.


    In the eye, six men in black came to the side of the cell where Jia Xu and the strong man were. The leader asked, "Wei Zhuang, is He Jia Xu?""Yes


    Wei Zhuang is a ferocious man who goes to prison in the afternoon. His task is to monitor Jia Xu''s every move.


    "Chaka! Click


    The leader quickly opened the lock of the two prisons, and Wei Zhuang walked out of the prison and then entered Jia Xu''s cell. Wei Zhuang grinned and said, "Mr. Jia, please."


    Jia Xu said, "are you LIU Xiu''s people?"


    The leader laughed and didn''t answer. He turned the conversation and said, "all the prison guards in the cell have been killed, so Mr. Jia doesn''t have to make a public statement. What''s more, Liu Jingzhou has given an order that even if he catches the living, he will take the dead back. Therefore, Mr. Jia is a wise man and should understand the principle of cooperation. "


    "I understand!"


    Jia Xu nodded and did not resist.


    Moreover, Jia Xu has always been a man who takes things as they please. In such a situation, he did not intend to resist. Liu Xiu has already laid out the game. When he enters the game, it is almost impossible for him to jump out.


    A group of people with Jia Xu just out of the cell, and then quietly disappeared in the night.


    The next morning, when the gate opened, the people left with Jia Xu.


    In the morning, when the rest of the prison guards came to change their posts, they found that all the prison guards in the cell were dead, and Jia Xu disappeared. They were so flustered that they went to report to the police.


    When Cao Ren heard the news, his expression was darkened in an instant.


    Jia Xu is gone!


    The jailer in the cell was killed!


    Jia Xu alone can''t do it. There must be someone to help.


    The only suspect is Liu Xiu.


    Cao Ren''s eyes fell on Xu Huang and said in a deep voice: "Gongming, Jia Xu has escaped from prison. Now that the gates of the city have been opened for about an hour, he must have escaped. It seems that Jia Xu really betrayed the prime minister. "


    Xu Huang said: "brother Zixiao, Jia Xu is gone. It''s a fact. However, Jia Xu was the prime minister after all, and the prime minister also valued him in every way. According to reason, Jia Xu can not betray. But now Jia Xu suddenly disappeared, could it be Liu Xiu''s people who robbed Jia Xu instead of Jia Xu surrendering? "


    Cao Ren shook his head and said, "it''s impossible. Jia Xu absolutely betrayed him."


    "Somebody


    Cao Ren ordered directly.


    Suddenly, two soldiers quickly came in, boxing salute.


    Cao Ren ordered: "Jia Xu should be wanted along the way. Jiyang County, Yuyang county and Xinye county should send troops to set up checkpoints to prevent Jia Xu from going to Chaoyang County."


    "No!"


    The soldier was ordered to turn around and go down to carry out the order.


    Cao Ren changed his words and said, "now we have to report the matter to the prime minister and let him know." He immediately wrote an official document and sent the soldiers 800 Li to Xu county.


    After all this, Cao Rencai relaxed, looked at Xu Huang and asked, "Gongming, now Jia Xu has betrayed us. What should we do?"


    Xu Huang said: "what we need to do now is to firmly control the army and not make trouble. As for others, the situation is not clear at present. Don''t act rashly for the time being. "


    Cao Ren nodded, but could not help sighing.


    From three thousand soldiers were burned before, to now Jia Xu suddenly disappeared, Cao Ren''s heart suddenly gave birth to a bad premonition. Even Cao Ren was a little flustered.


    Calm Nanyang County, it seems to set off waves.


    And Zhang Ren had been holding his ground and constantly strengthening his control of the territory. Now, Zhang renpin''s use of troops also makes Cao Ren feel great pressure.


    Xu Huang sat down and looked at Cao Ren, but he couldn''t help sighing. In fact, he did not agree with some of Cao Ren''s practices, but after all, Cao Ren''s status is not general, and he has no way.

 Chapter 420

    Chaoyang County, county seat.


    A carriage came from outside the city. When the carriage arrived at the gate of the city, when it was inspected, the accompanying warrior lit a token and went directly into the city.


    This token is the token of the royal guards.


    The soldiers of the royal guards took Jia Xu to the city and went straight to the government office.


    In the hall, Liu Xiu and Pang Tong sat down.


    Both of them got the news and knew that Jia Xu would be brought back today, so they were waiting in the hall.


    Pang Tong asked, "Lord, Jia Xu has been arrested. What are you going to do with it?"


    Liu xiudao: "naturally, it''s for your own use."


    Pang Tong laughed and said, "what if Jia Xu doesn''t surrender?"


    Liu Xiu looked confident and said: "Jia Xu''s family, through the operation of the royal guards, is on the way to the south. He and his family have been arrested. Do you think he can stick to it? "


    Pang Tong said: "Lord, I don''t know Jia Xu, so it''s hard to make a decision."


    Liu Xiu replied, "if you meet people, you will know."


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, a soldier ran in from outside the hall and reported: "I''m your honor. The royal guards have arrived with Jia Xu. I''d like to see you."


    "Come in, please."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and sat up straight.


    Finally!


    In the past, Liu Xiu and Jia Xu first met in Xu county. Now, Jia Xu has been directly brought to Chaoyang County by him.


    Soon, there was a sound of footwork outside the hall.


    Jia Xu came to the hall under the leadership of the royal guards.


    When Liu Xiu waved, the people of the royal guards retreated, leaving Jia Xu standing in the hall. Liu Xiu said, "Mr. Wenhe, please sit down."


    "Thank you, Liu Jingzhou."


    After Jia Xu took his seat, he said: "when Cao Ren was sent to prison, I was thinking about why Zhang Ren, who had never acted, suddenly acted frequently. At that time, they speculated that Liu Jingzhou might have come to Chaoyang County, but they didn''t expect that. "


    Liu Xiu said: "Mr. Wenhe came to Nanyang County from Xu county. Naturally, I can''t fall behind."


    Jia Xu said: "unfortunately, Liu Jingzhou is superior in skill, and even deliberately loses to Cao Ren to alienate the relationship between Cao Ren and me. But I don''t want to understand one thing. I''ll ask Liu Jingzhou for advice. "


    Liu xiudao: "Mr. Wenhe, please go ahead."


    Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "the victory or defeat of the front-line war must be based on knowing the conversation between Lao Fu and Cao Ren. If I dissuade Cao Ren in the first battle and Cao Ren is defeated in the end, then Cao Ren will not be proud and think that I am in collusion with you. Then, I will not be doubted because of the failure of the Second World War. How did Liu Jingzhou grasp the quarrel between Lao Fu and Cao Ren? "


    Liu Xiu said: "Mr. Wenhe is intelligent and proficient. Don''t you know that money can make the devil push the mill? The dispute between Wen he and Cao Ren is not a secret that can not be said, even Cao Ren himself may reveal. In this case, it only needs to spend a little money to buy these people''s money. "


    Jia Xu sighed and said, "I see!"


    Liu xiudao: "Mr. Wenhe, the reason for the defeat is that Cao Ren can''t trust you. In other words, Cao Ren''s heart has pimples, I just triggered him


    "What kind of pimple?"


    Jia Xu was stunned. For a moment, he didn''t think clearly.


    Liu Xiuse said: "Mr. Wenhe, have you forgotten the battle of Wancheng ten years ago? At that time, both Dian Wei and Cao ang died in your calculation. Cao Cao''s spirit is matchless. He can accommodate your calculation. After all, he was in charge at that time. However, Cao Ren is not the same. In other words, Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, Xia Houdun, Cao Zhen, Cao Hong, Cao Zhang, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and others are all like this. They always have a knot in their heart. "


    As soon as these words came out, Jia Xu''s face froze.


    These words awakened him in an instant.


    Looking back on Cao Ren''s attitude towards him, maybe there is such a reason. Otherwise, Cao Ren will not directly put him in prison.


    Jia Xu gave a bitter smile and said, "it seems that master Xiu really understands my weakness."


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s not Mr. Wen he''s weakness, it''s Cao Ren''s lack of spirit."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu changed his mind and said, "Mr. Wenhe is a smart man. He should know that it is impossible to come back to Xu county after he has come to Jingzhou. Therefore, I think Mr. Wenhe should make a wise decision."


    Jia Xu said: "Liu Jingzhou wants to recruit me. Don''t you know that my family members are all settled in Xu county. Once I betray, these people will surely die by the prime minister''s sword. "


    Liu xiudao: "they are already on the way to the south. I believe Mr. Wenhe will see them soon."


    Jia Xu''s eyes widened. He didn''t expect that Liu Xiu''s plan had come to this stage.


    Jia Xu said: "for the sake of just Jia Xu, Liu Jingzhou took great pains."Liu Xiu replied, "it''s just Jia Xu, but it makes Xiangyang turbulent. If Pang Tong didn''t wake me up. Perhaps, Mr. Wenhe''s plan has continued. I''m curious. If I take the stratagem of following the vine and making plans, instead of eliminating the spies arranged by Mr. Wenhe in Jingzhou, what will Mr. Wenhe do next? "


    Jia Xu replied: "the final plan at that time was actually aimed at Pang Junshi. To incite the rebellion of the major families is to attract attention, and the so-called attack on the prefecture is also a cover. "


    "Once the two-step plan is successful, Liu Jingzhou''s attention will inevitably focus on it. At that time, I will mobilize the power of Xiangyang to assassinate commander Pang. "


    "Pang Deliang and others made a plan to assassinate Pang Yigong first, and then to assassinate him."


    "Once these people die, on the one hand, Liu Jingzhou is bound to lose his prime minister, and there will be turmoil in Jingzhou; on the other hand, Liu Jingzhou may suddenly send troops because of this incident."


    Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and said, "as long as Liu Jingzhou is angry, he will lose his sense. I''m afraid it will be easier to deal with Liu Jingzhou who has lost his sense. "


    "Hiss!"


    Liu Xiu took a cool breath after listening.


    It turned out that Jia Xu''s plan was like this. Fortunately, he adopted Pang Tong''s suggestion and interrupted Jia Xu''s plan, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.


    Liu xiudao said: "Mr. Wenhe''s stratagem is really extraordinary and vicious."


    Jia Xu said: "no matter how vicious and detailed, the plan was not successful after all. On the other hand, Liu Jingzhou personally went to Chaoyang County to fight back. A plot alienated Cao Ren and Cao Ren, prompting Cao Ren to put him in prison, and then took him away without knowing it. Now in Cao Ren''s heart, he estimates that I have colluded with Liu Jingzhou. "


    Liu xiudao: "Mr. Wenhe is wise and naturally understands. So, what''s Mr. Wenhe''s going to do? "


    Jia Xu said: "when I met my family, I worked for Liu Jingzhou."


    Along the way, Jia Xu has always been self-centered, saving his life first. As for the so-called loyalty, this is not the most important thing Jia Xu cares about.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, another royal guard came in.


    The royal guards went to the hall and said, "my Lord, all Jia Xu''s family members have entered Chaoyang County. Now, they have been temporarily placed in a house next to the Yamen. "


    Liu Xiu nodded, looked at Jia Xu and said, "Mr. Wenhe, your family has arrived."


    Jia Xu stood up and said, "Jia Xu, meet the Lord."


    Liu xiudao: "Mr. Wenhe, please rise. I''ll discuss Mr. Wenhe''s official position later. I miss my family. Now, let''s meet my family first. "


    Jia Xu arched his hand and said, "thank you, Lord."


    Liu Xiu said, "take Mr. Wenhe to see his family."


    "No!"


    When the royal guards got the order, they left with Jia Xu.


    Looking at Jia Xu''s back, Pang Tong said slowly, "my Lord, Jia Xu is really a man of deep planning. He is very powerful, but now that the Lord has accepted his loyalty, can he rest assured? "


    Liu Xiuse said: "now, Jia Xu may still think about Cao Cao in his heart, but seeing the troops in Jingzhou and the changes in Jingzhou, he will change slowly. What''s more, if you don''t even have this snack chest, how can you attack Cao Cao in the north. Only when the sea admits hundreds of rivers can it be large. As for how to use it, it''s a follow-up matter. "


    Pang Tong nodded, and no longer paid attention to how Liu Xiu arranged Jia Xu''s affairs.

 Chapter 421

    Xu county, Prime Minister''s residence.


    Recently, Cao Cao was busy sorting out the war situation in the north. Under his constant suppression, the situation gradually eased down. As long as there is a period of turbulence, stability can be achieved. Then, he can stabilize Youzhou and attack Xiliang. Once he has swept these places, he can go south again.


    In particular, when Cao Cao received the news that Cao Ren had defeated Zhang Ren, he was very happy for a long time.


    Fighting with Liu Xiu, he failed many times.


    Cao Ren defeated Zhang Ren. Although it was only a battle to attack and defend the city, if he could win, it was also a victory.


    For this reason, Cao Cao sent special orders and awards.


    The art of war is being annotated in Cao sun Cao''s study.


    This is what he likes to do in his spare time. Military strategy is Cao Cao''s favorite.


    "Dong! Dong


    The knock on the door rang out outside the study, and the attendant reported: "prime minister, Xun Junshi asked to see you."


    Cao Cao put down his pen and said, "please come to the study."


    "No!"


    The attendant outside answered, and then turned down to pass the order.


    After a short time, Xun you came to the study, knocked on the door and said, "prime minister!"


    "Come in!"


    Cao Cao gave orders.


    Xun you entered the study, sat down and handed over a letter, saying: "prime minister, this is the war report that general Cao Ren just sent back and the news of Nanyang County. This time, it''s a bit serious."


    When Cao Cao heard the speech, he felt a thump in his heart.


    Xunyou was a man who had never changed his appearance after the collapse of Mount Tai. He had great courage. If the news could shock Xunyou, something must have happened.


    Cao Cao picked up the document and read it carefully.


    The first news we saw was that 3000 soldiers were burned by a fire.


    Seeing this, Cao Cao''s heart sank, his face was even more tense, and he was in a bad mood. It''s just a few days since I had a comfortable life. It''s really frustrating to encounter such a thing.


    However, when Cao Cao saw the content in the future, he was furious.


    There are also two subsequent documents. One is about Cao Ren''s judgment that Jia Xu colluded with Liu Xiu and was jailed by Cao Ren. The other one is the 800 Li urgent letter. It is Jia Xu who has escaped from prison.


    Continuous news, so that the expression on Cao Cao''s face, also reveals a pale look.


    How is that possible?


    How can Jia Xu collude with Liu Xiu? This is ridiculous. Jia Xu''s escape from prison is even more impossible.


    "Son of a bitch!"


    Cao Cao directly threw the documents in his hand to the ground. He was already furious. It has been nearly ten years since he accepted Jia Xu. In the past ten years, he thinks that Jia Xu has been submissive to him and can''t have two hearts.


    Xun you said: "prime minister calm down, now things have happened, we must consider the remedy."


    Cao Cao asked, "Gongda, how do you think it should be remedied?"


    Xun you replied: "first, immediately check Wen he''s family to see if they are still in Xu county?"


    Cao Cao took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.


    "Come and see Xu Chu!"


    Cao Cao was not a hesitant person, he gave orders directly.


    "No!"


    Outside the study, the soldier called back.


    After a short time, Xu Chu came to the study and saluted.


    Cao Cao ordered: "you immediately lead the troops to Jia Xu''s house to see if Jia Xu''s family is at home."


    "No!"


    Xu Chu had doubts in his heart. He took a look at Xun you and saw that Xun you also had a solemn look on his face. He knew that something important had happened this time. But he couldn''t ask, so he turned back, took the soldiers and went straight to Jia Xu''s house.


    Xu Chu went outside the gate of Jia''s house and sent someone to knock on it.


    After a while, the door opened, the porter put out his head, saw that it was Xu Chu, and quickly bowed.


    Xu Chu asked in a deep voice, "Ben was ordered to come to Wen he''s family, and asked Mrs. Jia to come out to meet him." He did not say that Cao Cao wanted to confirm that Jia Xu''s family was still there. Instead, he said that he had been ordered to find Jia Xu''s wife, so that no one would be in charge.


    The Porter said, "my wife has gone out. She is no longer at home."


    After hearing this, Xu Chu immediately frowned and said, "since the wife is no longer there, what about the eldest son of Jia family?"


    The porter then said, "the eldest son is no longer here!"


    Xu Chu''s heart moved, even Jia Xu''s wife and eldest son are not in the house, so, is really Jia Xu out of something? Xu Chu said in a deep voice: "who else can be in charge of the Jia family? Who is still at home


    The porter replied, "my wife and all of you have gone out to look for relatives. Now there is no one in charge of your family."


    Hearing the speech, Xu Chu said, "when did madam go out?"


    The porter replied, "about seven days."


    "Seven days?"With a heavy look on his face, Xu Chu turned and left with the soldiers. Looking at the strange Xu Chu, the porter shook his head, turned and closed the door.


    When Xu Chu returned to the prime minister''s house, he went directly to his study and reported: "prime minister, seven days ago, Jia Xu''s family said that they had gone out to look for relatives. Now, there are only a few handyman left in your family. "


    "Son of a bitch!"


    Cao Cao''s anger rose and his eyes showed anger.


    Jia Xu disappeared!


    Jia Xu''s family also disappeared!


    What happened?


    The second thing xunzu wanted to do about Jia zhengse was to say. Jia Xu and his family must be in Liu Xiu''s hands. I even infer that Liu Xiu sent someone to take Jia Xu''s family away. As for Jia Xu, I''m afraid he was robbed by Liu Xiu. I don''t think Jia Xu will surrender. As for Jia Xu, I think we must make a thorough investigation. There should be a judgment as to what is going on. "


    These words are in Cao Cao''s heart.


    Up to now, Cao Cao can''t believe Jia Xu will surrender, which is absolutely impossible.


    Cao Cao nodded and said, "Gongda, you should investigate this matter thoroughly immediately. After careful inquiry, what happened to Jia Xu in Wan county and why he and his family suddenly disappeared. "


    "No!"


    Xun you nodded, his face slightly dignified.


    Xu Chu finally knew what had happened. It turned out that Jia Xu had disappeared.


    No wonder it''s so outrageous.


    Xu Chu stood respectfully and kept silent. He was very sensitive when it came to such things. If he didn''t pay attention, he would involve himself in them, so he didn''t want to be involved.


    After thinking about it, Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu and said, "Xu Chu, send a tiger and leopard rider to inform Xu Huang immediately and let him return to Xu county. The prime minister wants to know what happened."


    "No!"


    Xu Chu got the order, turned around and left.


    Cao Cao arranged two lines, one is Xun you''s thorough investigation, the other is to let Xu Huang come back to explain things.


    After Xu Huang returned from Wan county to Xu county, Xun you also found out. Cao Cao inquired about Xu Huang and carefully considered the whole matter. Finally, he came to the conclusion that the other party was aimed at Jia Xu, and Cao Ren played an accomplice and pusher in it, which made Jia Xu robbed.


    When Cao Cao had his own conclusion, he asked Xu Huang to return to Wan county and then asked Xun you.


    In the same way, Xun you also came to the conclusion that this time Wan County confrontation, the other side is clearly aimed at Jia Xu, that is to win Jia Xu.


    After a total, Cao Cao could not help sighing.


    Xun you sat next to Cao Cao and asked, "prime minister, it is an established fact that Jia Xu was taken by Liu Xiu. How should we deal with this matter? "


    Cao Cao sighed: "what else can we do? Cao Ren is responsible for most of the discussion. It''s not easy to deal with this matter. "


    Xun you said: "if the truth is disclosed, it will have a great impact on general Cao and the current overall situation. Therefore, I think that for the time being, I can only claim that Jia Xu has betrayed us. "


    "But..."


    Cao Cao''s eyes, showing a trace of embarrassment.


    Xun you said: "prime minister, the two evil prime ministers have the least power. Jia Xu''s family has been taken away. Now, it must be impossible for Wenhe to be submissive again. So, we have to sacrifice him. "


    After listening, Cao Cao still hesitated.


    Such a way of handling does not conform to Cao Cao''s original intention.


    But the current situation and situation, can only do so, he can''t for a can''t play for him Jiaxu punish caoren. Cao Cao sighed and said, "Gongda, you are in charge of this matter."


    "No!"


    Xun you nodded and left.

 Chapter 422

    After Jia Xu reunited with his family, he followed Liu Xiu down to Xiangyang and settled down.


    The place where I live is next to the prefecture. At present, Jia Xu''s family can''t have much freedom. They can only walk around Xiangyang City.


    However, Jia Xu is also open-minded.


    Without Liu Xiu''s summoning, he would stay in the house to read and write, and he was used to it.


    On this day, Liu Xiu asked him to go.


    Jia Xu left his house and went to Liu Xiu''s Prefecture. In the house, under the guidance of the attendant, he came to the study. After saluting, Jia Xu took a seat in the study.


    Jia Xu said, "my Lord, please come here. What can I do for you?"


    "There are two things," Liu said


    Jia Xu said, "please make it public!"


    Liu Xiu said slowly: "the first thing is that Cao Cao finally announced that you colluded with me and betrayed him when he learned that your family had disappeared. In his words, the reason why Cao Ren was defeated was that you were moved by Huo Jun and sent the news, which led to the defeat of Cao Ren''s 3000 soldiers. "


    "Boom!"


    In Jia Xu''s mind, there was an instant blank.


    Cao Cao''s announcement of such news, which he did not expect, was nothing.


    Jia Xu didn''t believe that Cao Cao could not see the trick, but Cao Cao really chose to define him as a betrayal. Then, Cao Cao must protect Cao Ren.


    It''s a long time for Jia Xu to recover.


    Jia Xu recovered his calm and said: "Lord, since I have been loyal to you, I should not consider these things. Therefore, since Cao Cao believes that I am colluding with the Lord, it is collusion. "


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he had a smile on his face.


    When Jia Xu said that, he obviously accepted his fate.


    Since ancient times, the monarch has chosen his ministers, and his ministers have also chosen their monarchs. If Cao Cao takes sides with Jia Xu, Jia Xu will surely think about Cao Cao even though he is subordinated to Liu Xiu. However, a letter from Cao Cao directly identified Jia Xu as colluding with Liu Xiu, and then the relationship between Jia Xu and Cao Cao was completely broken.


    Liu Xiu continued: "the second thing is the appointment of Mr. Wen he. Previously, when I was in Chaoyang County, I should have been appointed at that time, but I didn''t think about it clearly at that time. Now, re appoint Mr. Wenhe. "


    When Jia Xu heard the speech, he sat upright and listened to Liu Xiu.


    Liu xiudao: "under my command, there is only one military adviser, that is Pang Tong. I appointed Mr. Wen he as the right military division to give me advice. "


    "Thank you, Lord."


    Jia Xu was also quite surprised.


    The right military division is naturally one level lower than the military division, but it is also a core position, and it can touch the real core content. Liu Xiu directly appointed him as the right military division, which is quite bold.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and asked, "is Mr. Wenhe used to living in Xiangyang?"


    "Not bad!"


    Jia Xu nodded and answered.


    Liu xiudao: "that''s good. When Mr. Wenhe first arrived in Xiangyang, he could walk around more and get familiar with Jingzhou''s government affairs. It''s boring to stay at home every day. "


    "Yes, remember that."


    Jia Xu nodded and said something to Liu Xiu. Then he got up and left.


    Back at home, Jia Xu''s sons, Jia Mu, Jia Xun and Jia Ji, were waiting in the hall.


    Jia Mu asked, "father, what does Liu Xiu want you to do?"


    Jia also said: "is Liu Xiu making trouble for his father?"


    Jia Ji also has a concerned look on his face and is quite nervous in his heart. Jia Xu''s three sons, all grown up, have all gone south this time. It can be said that they have been killed by Liu Xiu.


    Jia Xu said: "the Lord asked me to go and said two things."


    "Those two things?" jamu asked


    Jia Xu said: "the first thing is that Prime Minister Cao has announced the news. It was my husband who colluded with my Lord that led to Cao Ren''s defeat."


    Brush!


    When Jia Mu, Jia Xun and Jia Ji heard the speech, their faces changed.


    Jia Mu said angrily: "how can Prime Minister Cao do this? The reason why my father came to Xiangyang is that he was forced by Cao Ren. How did his father collude with Liu Xiu? "


    Jia also said: "Prime Minister Cao''s doing this is not authentic."


    Jia Ji asked, "father, what''s the second thing?"


    Jia Xu replied, "my Lord appointed me as the right military division. This is the second thing."


    As soon as these words came out, the three brothers of jamu exclaimed that they were born again.


    After the family went south and lived in Xiangyang, Jia Mu''s three brothers had discussed for a long time what position Jia Xu would take under Liu Xiu''s command. They all agreed that Jia Xu might not be able to get close to Liu Xiu''s central core for the time being.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu actually delegated power and directly appointed the right military division.


    Jia Mu snorted and said in a deep voice: "father, since Cao Cao Ren, you can''t blame him for his injustice. Before, my father surrendered to Liu Xiu because we were brought. Now, Cao Cao is unkind to his father, and Liu Xiu can accept his father. Then, his father will work for Liu Xiu, and he has no scruples. ""In the future, Liu Xiu went north and defeated Cao Cao. My father must personally question Cao Cao in front of him why he treats my father like this. "


    Jia Mu said: "it''s the so-called wise officials who choose their subjects. Since Cao Cao is not wise, it''s reasonable for his father to work for Liu Xiu. Although Liu Xiu only occupied Jingzhou, he was able to defeat Cao Cao''s army and had the potential to go north. Father, don''t hesitate in your heart any more. "


    Jia Xu snorted and said, "do you need to teach me to be a father?"


    Jia said: "father, I agree with the elder brother that my father is now a right military strategist. If Liu Xiu continues to expand his influence. After my father, I will be a supreme minister. "


    Jia Ji said: "according to the current situation, Liu Xiu should be relieved of his father. Father, Liu Xiu has the courage to appoint you directly as the right military division. You can also serve for him. "


    Jia Xu said with a smile: "why, now you three bastards have come to persuade me to work for Liu Xiu?"


    When they heard the speech, they all looked at each other and laughed.


    Jia Xu said: "my consistent point of view is to be in his position and make his own policies. Now that I''m working for Liu Xiu, I''ll do my best. Don''t worry. I know what to do. "


    After listening, the three brothers showed a smile on their faces.


    Jia Xu thought for a moment and said, "I''m new under the Lord''s command, and it''s not easy to arrange for the three of you. I''ll make plans for you when I get a firm foothold. "


    Jammu said: "the father doesn''t have to worry. The son has already thought about it. Next year, when Liu Xiu starts his career, his son will take part in it. At that time, he will also be able to enter Jingzhou officialdom. So don''t bother your father. "


    Jia said: "I want to have a try, just like my elder brother. Under Liu Xiu''s command, only the talents who have made achievements are his confidants. So, the son also goes this way


    Jia Ji said: "my son should be like this."


    In the eyes of the three sons, there is a strong self-confidence.


    When Jia Xu saw the three people''s expressions, his face showed a bright smile. He stroked his beard under his jaw and said with satisfaction: "I am very satisfied that you three can have such ambition. Very good. I''m looking forward to the next year''s success. I''ve got three sons, all of whom can be shortlisted. "


    Jia Mu said with a smile: "the father underestimates his son too much. He is not a shortlisted, but a top student in high school."


    Jia''s visit and Jia Ji are also full of fighting spirit.


    Jia Xu said: "the three of you have a good ambition. I''ll see if you can be the top in high school. I''m a Jia family. Can it be famous in Jingzhou? "


    "Certainly!"


    There was a glimmer of firmness in jamu''s eyes.


    Jia Xiang and Jia Ji are also full of confidence.


    Jia Xu looked at the state of his son under his knees, and he was also greatly relieved. From the north to the south, although Jia Xu was highly valued by Liu Xiu, his three sons have not yet settled down. Seeing that his three sons are in excellent condition, he can be completely relieved.


    At this time, Jia Xu was really returning to his heart and Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 423

    Craftsmen workshop, a bamboo mat stand on the ground.


    On the mat, there was a piece of paper as white as jade. With the formation of the paper, the faces of the craftsmen around showed a look of ecstasy. These craftsmen are experienced, from the appearance of a look, you can generally see the quality of the paper.


    The appearance is smooth, and it must feel like silk.


    "Get out of the way. I''ll take it down and have a look."


    A craftsman took off the white paper on the scornful mat and stroked it carefully. His face was intoxicated. This kind of paper is greasy, like a girl''s skin.


    "Come on, everybody."


    The craftsmen gave a command, and the craftsmen around also came forward one after another.


    After touching one by one, his face was filled with joy.


    "It''s successful. I didn''t expect that wheat straw, rice straw and bamboo can be used successfully. Moreover, the quality, the speed and quantity of drying paper have been greatly improved. What''s more, our labor and cost have been greatly reduced. "


    "Yes, I thought that Zhou Mu was just a whim, but I didn''t expect that he really succeeded."


    "Now that we have succeeded, we are still in a daze. Come on, we immediately cut out the paper and send it to the master mother, who will give it to the governor."


    "Yes, yes, act quickly."


    The craftsmen in the workshop take action, quickly cut the dried paper, and then put it neatly.


    A pile of white paper, quickly piled up.


    The leading craftsman sent the paper to Huang Yueying. Huang Yueying was very happy to see the results. At present, Zuo Bo''s paper is quite good, but the cost is expensive, so those who have books in their families are rich or expensive.


    Today, the ability to make paper in large quantities means that under Liu Xiuzhi, the style of study is bound to be prosperous.


    Huang Yueying asks the attendant to come to Liu Xiu''s study with the newly made paper.


    Liu Xiu asked, "Yueying, what can I do for you?"


    Huang Yueying said with a smile, "husband, what do you think this is?" As soon as she waved, the attendant put a pile of white papers on Liu Xiu''s desk.


    After Liu Xiu saw it, he didn''t understand it. He was surprised and said, "did you succeed at last?"


    Huang Yueying said: "it''s successful. My husband''s improved papermaking technique has been successful. I asked the craftsmen carefully. The new papermaking technology can be used for large-scale papermaking, and the materials are cheap and easy to make. Now the cost has been greatly reduced, and the paper can be made in batches. "


    "Well, that''s good."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes twinkled.


    The birth of the reformed papermaking technology, together with the success of lumen academy, will certainly set off a frenzy.


    In this way, Liu Xiu has more opportunities for development.


    Liu xiudao: "Yueying, you worked hard."


    Huang Yueying said in a soft voice, "it''s not hard. It''s all arranged by my husband. I just watch them make it. Besides, I don''t go there often. I just go to see it occasionally."


    Liu Xiu holds Huang Yueying''s hand. After they talk for a while, Huang Yueying says, "now that the new white paper has come out, my husband must be of great use. I won''t disturb you when I have to discuss business."


    "Well!"


    Liu Xiu got up to send Huang Yueying away. Then he told Deng AI to invite Yi Ji, Kuai Liang, Jia Xu, Pang Tong and Pang Degong to come to the study of Zhou Mu Fu for discussion.


    Half an hour later, the five arrived at the study.


    However, Jia Xu was sitting in his study. Although he had already met the rest of the people, he was still a newcomer, so he sat still.


    Liu Xiu glanced at several people and said in a deep voice, "you guys, I''ve got another big happy event in Jingzhou."


    "What''s the matter?"


    Yi Ji was puzzled in his eyes and looked puzzled.


    Kuai Liang asked: "Lord, did you win the battle again?"


    The others looked at Liu Xiu with a curious look in their eyes.


    Liu Xiu took out five pieces of paper and handed them to Kuai Liang, Yi Ji and others one by one. Then he said, "the happy event I''m talking about is not the war, but this. Look carefully."


    Yi Ji rubbed the paper as white as jade and said, "Lord, what kind of paper? Did we make it? "


    Pound''s lumen academy is under construction. It needs a lot of books, which means a lot of paper. For him, such paper is the most important.


    Pang Degong breathed a little and said, "Liu Jingzhou, this paper is very good. Is there anything special about it?"


    Liu Xiu said: "this is the paper made by the craftsman''s workshop after the improvement of papermaking technology. It can be made in large quantities, and the production cost is also very low."


    When Pang Degong, Yi Ji and others heard the speech, they all uttered exclamations.


    Yi Ji praised: "it''s great that Jingzhou can improve papermaking technology and make paper in large quantities."


    Kuai Liang said: "with the appearance of this paper, the literary style of Jingzhou must be brilliant, and scholars from all over the world must gather in Jingzhou. Even businessmen all over the world will rush to buy and sell. "Pang Tong said: "this piece of paper can be worth 100000 soldiers."


    After listening to Pang Tong''s words, Pang Degong scolded: "in my eyes, even a million soldiers can''t match this kind of paper."


    Pang Tong said, "yes, you are right."


    Jia Xu asked: "the Lord has made this kind of paper. How do you plan to name it? What''s the arrangement? "


    As soon as the words came out, everyone was quiet.


    Everyone knows that after the appearance of such paper, it will cause an uproar and play a great role. Therefore, it must have an effect.


    Liu xiudao: "the name of paper is Xuan paper, which means to advertise. It''s just right."


    As a matter of fact, Liu Xiu''s so-called explanation is arbitrary, just to link up with the site selection of the last generation, which was called Xuan paper because it was located in Xuanzhou Prefecture.


    Now, Liu Xiu quoted it directly.


    Pound said: "Xuan paper, Xuan paper, it''s a good name. Jingzhou''s Xuan paper must be famous all over the world. "


    Kuai Liang said: "the emergence of Xuan paper will once again increase the status of the Lord."


    Jia Xu took a look at Liu Xiu. He was also a wise man. He knew that the emergence of Xuan paper would cause great fluctuations. Such a situation must be beneficial to Liu Xiu.


    In fact, compared with Cao Cao, Liu Xiu has too many weaknesses.


    However, the appearance of Xuan paper gave Jia Xu more confidence. Maybe Liu Xiu could really attack Cao Cao.


    Liu Xiu coughed twice, and everyone was quiet. Then Liu Xiu said, "I will control the news of Xuan paper for the time being, and order the people in the workshop not to let it out. Five people, you don''t know. Next, I will start mass production of books. On the day when lumen academy opens, I will turn rice paper into books of lumen Academy. "


    As soon as pound heard this, he became excited and breathed more quickly.


    With the production of Xuan paper, Pang Degong has more confidence.


    Yi Ji said: "Lord, although rice paper is inexhaustible now, it can be produced in large quantities. But there is also a problem, that is, to make a collection of books, it will inevitably require countless people to copy, which also requires a lot of human and material resources


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "don''t worry, Mr. Ji Bo. I have already prepared for this."


    To print books on a large scale, it is obviously quite difficult to copy them by hand.


    Movable type printing is necessary.


    Liu Xiu was full of words, and no one put forward the meaning or asked. After discussing the situation of Xuan paper, they scattered and busied themselves.


    However, Liu Xiu went directly to the craftsman''s workshop and ordered no leakage. Then he recruited the person in charge of the craftsman''s workshop and ordered the production and printing of movable type.


    The person in charge of the craftsman''s workshop listened carefully. The more he heard, the more shocked he was.


    After listening, he was completely convinced that Liu Xiujing was like heaven and man.


    Liu Xiu arranged things and became the shopkeeper. Then he went back to his study. In three days, the workshop produced a batch of movable type, and then found a book "the Analects of Confucius" for printing.


    Compared with manual copying, this speed is naturally faster and more neat. The craftsmen of each workshop, looking at the final printed books, felt proud.


    When Liu Xiu got the first sample book, he ordered the collection of zhoumu prefecture to be printed. The completion of lumen academy is fast, and the preparation of books must be completed as soon as possible.

 Chapter 424

    December 10, Xiangyang City.


    The center of the city, College Street.


    This street is a separate street outside the lumen Academy.


    On this day, a carriage slowly went to the lumen Academy.


    After unremitting efforts, lumen Academy was completed yesterday. Today, we will really worship heaven and earth, and then formally recruit students. The inauguration ceremony of lumen academy naturally invited countless people to watch the ceremony.


    So much so that the College Street is overcrowded.


    The people holding the invitation cards entered the college one after another, and then led by the soldiers, they went to the place of sacrifice.


    The place of sacrifice is a Confucian temple in the college.


    In the temple, Confucius is not the only one, but the representatives of Laozi, Confucius, Zhuangzi, Han Feizi, Sun Tzu and so on.


    Outside the Confucian temple stands a big tripod.


    On the cauldron, the incense mist makes the Confucian temple more holy.


    The heads of Jingzhou''s major families, as well as Jingzhou''s dignitaries, have already stood in the courtyard according to their respective seats.


    Liu Xiu sat in the center of the first row and waited quietly.


    "Good time


    At the end of the morning, suddenly, outside the Confucian temple, an old man''s loud voice came to mind.


    This old man is Sima Hui. He is the master of ceremonies who worships heaven and earth today.


    With Sima Hui''s cry, Pang Degong stood up with a black robe and a serious face. He went to the front of the tripod and stood with his head high, looking forward and excited.


    "Sacrifice to heaven!"


    Sima Hui''s voice echoed in the Confucian temple.


    His voice deliberately makes a loud and sincere state, which makes people feel magnanimous after hearing it.


    I saw the servant carrying the prepared sacrifice, placed in front of the tripod.


    Pound took the wine bottle to heaven, then turned his hand to pour the wine on the ground, bowed respectfully, and then stood up again.


    "Worship the earth!"


    Sima Hui has already been familiar with the process, shouting again.


    Pound turned around, turned his back to the cauldron, knelt down and kowtowed. Then he stood up and turned to the cauldron again.


    "To the sages!"


    As a master of ceremonies, Sima Hui looks solemn, but now he shouts these words, and there is a trace of excitement in his eyes. The establishment of lumen academy is definitely a good news for scholars all over the world.


    Pang Degong took the incense, which was three feet long and had already been lit, from the servant. He gave a meticulous salute, then put the three incense in the cauldron, and then returned to his position.


    "Li Cheng!"


    Sima Hui gave a high congratulation, with a smile on his face.


    Mr. pound turned to look at the people who had been watching the ceremony. He said in a loud voice, "gentlemen, I have already given a banquet in the reception hall of the Academy. Please come with me."


    The crowd separated, and pound took the lead and went to the meeting room. Liu Xiu, Kuai Liang, Yi Ji and other important officials followed, followed by the other major family owners.


    The reception hall is the special reception place of lumen college.


    This hall, specially designed by Liu Xiu, is broad and easy to accommodate more than 100 people.


    The guests and guests were seated, and Mr. pound was sitting high above.


    Liu Xiu took the first seat on the left, and the rest took their seats in turn.


    Pound said: "Zhugong, lumen academy has been built. Thank you for coming here today. I''m here to thank you instead of lumen Academy."


    "Pang Gong is very kind. The establishment of lumen academy is of great significance to Jingzhou. It''s a matter for the benefit of scholars all over the world, and Pang Gong''s painstaking efforts should be due to his hard work. "


    Ma Qi zhengse said: "Pang Gong is the lumen academy and the heart of scholars all over the world. We admire him."


    All of them praised pound.


    Everyone knows that Liu Xiu is behind the scenes when lumen academy is built. Moreover, Liu Xiu intends to rely on lumen academy to cultivate his own talents. This is an irresistible trend, and no one dares to stop it.


    Pound said justly: "I''ve been praised by you. I just did what I should do. I don''t care."


    There was another round of praise, all of which was praise.


    At this time, Huang Chengyan took the initiative to speak and said with a smile: "the establishment of lumen academy is a great event that benefits the country and the future. The Huang family should celebrate such a prosperous age. He donated a thousand books to the huanglumen Academy. "


    WOW!


    In an instant, there was an uproar in the hall.


    A thousand books!


    That''s not a small number.


    At this time, the paper is expensive, and most of the books are not paper, but bamboo slips. However, the number of words carried by bamboo slips is limited after all, and it also occupies too much land. A thousand books. That''s a huge amount.


    A thousand books is undoubtedly a big deal.


    Everyone looked at Huang Chengyan and admired him for his courage.Mr. pound said with a smile, "thank you very much. Lumen academy will remember the kindness of Mr. Huang."


    Kuai Liang arched his hand and said, "Pang Gong, the establishment of lumen academy is a great joy. The Kuai family donated 1000 books to the lumen school


    The Huang family and the Kuai family are the same family, naturally they are the same family.


    The two families donated 2000 books.


    Pound said: "the kindness of the Kuai family is remembered by lumen Academy." At this time, Kuai Liang was not engaged in Jingzhou, but the owner of the Kuai family, who donated in the name of the Kuai family. Therefore, the name of pound was also particular.


    Ma Qi said: "Pang Gong, the Ma family in Yicheng, donated 800 books."


    After receiving the invitation from Pang Degong, March quickly came to Xiangyang and delivered 800 books to Xiangyang as a gift to the Ma family.


    Today, Ma Liang and Ma Su, two sons of Ma Qi, are under Liu Xiu''s command.


    Although 800 books are valuable, the Ma family can afford them.


    Pound saluted the Duke again.


    Jingzhou''s other major family owners also put forward their own gifts, all of them are books, or 600, or 400, or 300


    More or less, they all presented their own gifts.


    All the people offered their own gifts, but Liu Xiu didn''t speak.


    At first, Liu Xiu didn''t speak, but everyone had no opinion.


    However, everyone in the hall offered their own gifts, but Liu Xiu didn''t open his mouth, which attracted people''s attention.


    What''s Liu Xiu doing?


    Pang Degong didn''t care about Liu Xiu, because he knew about it, and he roughly estimated through the donated books just now that the donated collection has exceeded 6000, which is a considerable amount of books.


    Pound said: "I''m very lucky to have the great support of my colleagues when I founded lumen Academy. Thank you very much."


    When they heard this, they immediately humbled themselves.


    Liu Xiulian said slowly with a smile: "teacher, before the establishment of lumen academy, I have said that we should strongly support lumen academy and give it to the prefecture''s library. Today, I will live up to my old promise. "


    Pang Degong was happy. He knew the situation, but asked, "how many books does Liu Jingzhou intend to donate?"


    When they heard the speech, they looked at Liu Xiu in unison.


    At this moment, everyone is weighing and evaluating, and they all want to know how many books Liu Xiu can donate? After all, the most donated books are the 1000 volumes of the Kuai and Huang families.


    When Liu Xiu saw people''s expressions, he naturally understood.


    This time, the heads of Jingzhou''s major families must have been shocked.


    Liu Xiu said: "the establishment of lumen academy is not only a grand event in Xiangyang, but also a grand event in Jingzhou. Such a thing is good for the country and the people. Even if we donate more books, we can''t show our respect. However, books are always donated. On behalf of the prefecture, I donated 30000 books to the library


    "Ah


    Bursts of startled voices rang out in the hall.


    30000 books!


    That''s not a small number.


    If it''s bamboo slips, 30000 volumes of books will definitely weigh more than a few hundred thousand jin. It''s not a room or two that needs to be specially placed.


    Everyone looked at Liu Xiu and felt incredible, even disbelieving.


    Because, this number is too large.


    Goodwill took a deep breath, suppressed his surprise, and asked: "Liu Jingzhou, 30000 books is not a small number. It''s not something that can be accomplished by talking about it. And I have a question. Does the prefecture have a collection of 30000 books? "

 Chapter 425

    The question of goodwill represents the question of the family owners in Jingzhou.


    Everyone doubted, because 30000 books were too large.


    Even if they were the heirs of Kuai''s and Huang''s poetry books, they could not have such a large collection of books.


    Liu Xiu stood up and said, "does the businessman doubt my official?"


    Goodwill shook his head and said, "it''s not doubt, it''s just doubt. After all, 30000 books is not a small number. Of course, if Liu Jingzhou said that he would send 30000 books to lumen Academy in batches, I would like to believe it. Because they were presented in batches, Liu Xiu went back to the prefecture and met Huang Yueying and sun Shangxiang in the backyard.


    Huang Yueying and sun Shangxiang get along well.


    Huang Yueying has a soft nature, is independent of the world, and is easy to get along with. Sun Shangxiang has no foundation in Jingzhou. As a concubine, she is inferior to sun Shangxiang, so she has great respect for Huang Yueying.


    They get along well.


    After some private words with them, Liu Xiu finally took a rest in sun Shangxiang''s yard.


    The next morning, Liu Xiu got the news, and the principal members of Jingzhou''s major families came to visit one after another. Liu Xiu naturally knew that the purpose of these people''s coming was for papermaking and movable type printing.


    Liu Xiu met these people in the hall and said, "what can I do for you


    Goodwill took the lead in saying: "Liu Jingzhou, in lumen academy yesterday, was inconvenient to ask about papermaking and printing. This time, I want to ask if I can teach this technology. As long as we are able to complete the conditions, we will certainly complete them. "


    Liu Xiu said: "you know, papermaking and movable type printing are top secret. You said, "can I pass it on to you easily?"


    When this remark came out, the owners of all major families were disappointed.


    Ma Qi said: "Liu Jingzhou, we do not want to seek personal gains, but also want to benefit more people."


    The rest of them agreed.


    Everyone''s face was full of expectation.


    Liu Xiu knew that the appearance of papermaking and movable type printing had already aroused these people''s covet. If he hid them, they would certainly try every means to find out.


    It''s better to change the conditions.


    "In fact, it''s not impossible to teach you papermaking and movable type printing," Liu said


    Goodwill immediately said: "please show it to Liu Jingzhou."


    "Please show it to Liu Jingzhou!"


    People from all major families speak with one voice.


    Liu Xiu said: "the establishment of lumen academy, although the teacher has invited a large number of scholars to teach in town. However, lumen academy is faced with taxis from Jingzhou counties. Even now, it still does not teach enough great Confucians. Therefore, I need you to send the old scholars of your families to the academy to teach. The conditions are so simple. What do you think? "


    "Yes, Ma agreed."


    March didn''t even think about it, so he agreed.


    Goodwill said: "businessmen should also agree. Besides, lumen academy is a great event and a good thing for the benefit of scholars. Businesses are duty bound to do such things. "


    One by one, they express their loyalty quickly and offer their support one after another.


    Liu Xiu said in a cold voice: "you are very ready to promise now, but if you recommend a great scholar to lumen academy, he is not worthy of the name, or his talent is mediocre. At that time, don''t blame me for being cruel and cruel. I think you all know the means of my official. "


    Goodwill said: "Liu Jingzhou rest assured that we will live up to the trust of Liu Jingzhou."


    The rest of the people spoke.


    Liu xiudao: "in that case, you will choose the craftsmen of your own families, and then go to the craftsmen''s workshop to ask them to know. I will say hello in advance and let them teach your craftsmen. "


    "Thank you, Liu Jingzhou."


    When they heard the words, they all looked grateful.


    The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and all the people are completely relieved.

 Chapter 426

    Yizhou, Chengdu.


    Although Bashu is mountainous, Chengdu is flat, especially around Chengdu.


    Outside the city, on the official road.


    A carriage came slowly and ran to the gate.


    Cheng yuduan sits in the carriage.


    Dressed in a blue robe, Cheng Yu sits upright and waits quietly.


    On Cao Cao''s order, he was sent to Chengdu to unite with Liu Zhang, a herdsman in Yizhou. Yizhou and Jingzhou border on each other. As long as Liu Zhang is willing to attack Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu must be attacked from both sides.


    After the carriage entered the city, it settled in an inn.


    After a rest, Cheng Yu went to the prefecture to see Liu Zhang.


    After the soldiers report, Cheng Yu enters the hall of the mansion.


    Please take your seat!


    Liu Zhang''s eyes fell on Cheng Yu and said, "what''s the matter with Duke Zhong De coming to Chengdu?"


    Cheng Yu said with a smile: "I''ve come to see Liu Yizhou to make a win-win deal with him."


    "What deal?"


    There was a touch of curiosity in Liu Zhang''s eyes.


    It''s the first time that Cao Cao and Liu Zhang have made a deal. It''s strange.


    But Cheng Yu did not answer for a moment, saying: "I heard that Zhang Ren, a general under Liu Yizhou, has now been subordinated to Liu Xiu and is the chief General of the Fifth Army under Liu Xiu''s account. I don''t know. What does Liu Yizhou think about it? "


    When Zhang Ren was mentioned, it hit Liu Zhang''s heart.


    Liu Zhang had considerable trust in Zhang Ren. Although he removed Zhang Ren from office, he had no intention of recovering in the future.


    However, Zhang Ren betrayed.


    This kind of thing made Liu Zhang very angry.


    Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "once Zhang Ren is caught by our official, he will be skinned and cramped. Hum, it''s not a pity to die for these traitors. "


    Cheng Yu smell speech, the corner of the mouth stirred up a smile.


    Just now, he deliberately proposed Zhang Ren to stimulate Liu Zhang and try the depth of Liu Zhang''s palace.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang opened his mouth and said everything.


    Moreover, all the thoughts are revealed.


    Liu Zhang''s city hall is understood by Cheng Yu, and there is nothing to hide.


    Cheng Yu continued: "Liu Yizhou hates Zhang Ren, and so does the prime minister. When Zhang Ren worked for Liu Yizhou, he didn''t do his best, so that the army failed. Only by following Liu Xiu can we give full play to our strength. Not only easily defeated the prime minister''s army, but also won the favor of Liu Xiu. It''s really a good city. "


    Liu Zhang''s anger soared when he heard Cheng Yu''s words.


    Cheng Yu was not enough, and continued: "at the beginning, Liu Xiu presented Nanyang County to Liu Yizhou, and Liu Yizhou let Zhang Ren take charge. Today, Zhang Ren is still in charge of Nanyang County, but Nanyang County has become Liu Xiu''s. At this time, the territory Liu Yizhou had laid down was stolen by Liu Xiu. Is Liu Yizhou really willing? "


    Liu Zhang''s anger was stirred up little by little. He sat upright, but he had already clenched his fist.


    Cheng Yu continued: "Liu Yizhou, is it..."


    "Stop it!"


    Liu Zhang roared, his eyes became more angry than ever.


    For Liu Xiu, he did not dare to provoke, so that his anger had already accumulated. Now, with Cheng Yu''s provocation, Liu Zhang is extremely irritable.


    Cheng Yu was more confident. As soon as his words changed, he came back to the topic and said, "I''m here to offer Liu Yizhou a chance to avenge himself and defeat Zhang Ren. Is Liu Yizhou going to give up this opportunity? "


    "What do you call a deal?"


    Although Liu Zhang was angered by Cheng Yu, he suddenly returned to the topic.


    Cheng Yu said with a smile: "the so-called transaction is very simple. Unite to attack Jingzhou."


    Liu Zhang asked, "how to attack?"


    Cheng Yu said: "it''s very simple. The prime minister sent troops from Nanyang County to attack Nanyang County, which belongs to Jingzhou. At the same time, Liu Yizhou sent troops from Bajun to attack Nanjun. The prime minister promised to seize Nanyang County, and after taking Zhang Ren, he handed Zhang Ren over to Liu Yizhou. "


    But Liu Zhang was silent and said, "however, Liu Xiu is not an easy man."


    Cheng Yu chuckled and said: "the prime minister''s defeat in the past was due to his carelessness, which made Liu Xiu succeed. This time, it''s impossible. Moreover, with Liu Yizhou''s powerful soldiers, can Liu Xiu resist? Even if there is a war between Nanjun and Nanyang, will Jiangdong just sit back and ignore it? At that time, Jiangdong may also attack Jingzhou from the East. Liu Yizhou, can you really tolerate Zhang Ren. If so, it is the prime minister''s mistake. "


    As soon as Liu Zhang thought of Zhang Ren, he was angry. He waved his hand and said, "Duke Zhongde has come a long way. Let''s go down and have a rest. I''m going to call on the generals under my command to discuss and then make a decision. "


    "No!"


    Cheng Yu bows his hand and then turns back.Liu Zhang had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "come, please come to discuss the matter with Fazheng, Zhang song, Li Yan and Pang Xi."


    "No!"


    When the servant got the order, he turned down to convey the order.


    About two quarters of an hour later, Fazheng, Zhang Song and other four people came to the hall.


    "See you, Lord!"


    The four met Liu Zhang and bowed to him.


    Liu Zhang motioned for the four men to take their seats, and then said, "Cao Cao sent envoy Cheng Yu to Chengdu. Just now he met my official and said that he wanted to unite with my official to attack Jingzhou. Cao Cao means that they attack Nanyang County, and we attack Nanyang County from Bajun county. Once Cao Cao wins, Zhang Ren will be handed over to his official. "


    Zhang song, FA Zheng and others are all human spirits. When they hear this, they understand that Liu Zhang has moved his mind. Because Zhang Ren is loyal to Liu Xiu, Liu Zhang is very angry.


    Zhang Song said, "Lord, Liu Xiu can defeat Cao Cao''s hundreds of thousands of troops. It''s hard to attack Liu Xiu."


    Liu Zhang heard the speech and said in a deep voice: "the reason why Cao Cao was defeated was that he was careless at the beginning. Moreover, I didn''t intervene at the beginning. Now, the two sides are sending troops together. Even when Sun Quan of Jiangdong learns about it, he may also send troops to attack Liu Xiu. At that time, where can Liu Xiu stop it? "


    Zhang Song wanted to persuade him again, but he was stopped by the legislator shaking his head.


    Li Yan asked: "Lord, if we want to send troops, when will we send troops?"


    Liu Zhang thought for a moment and said, "naturally, the sooner the better."


    Li Yan shook his head and said, "if you want to send troops, I suggest that you wait until the spring of next year to consider sending troops. It''s a cold winter now, and it''s quite difficult for the army to get out of Sichuan and Cross Mountains. When it comes to spring next year, the weather is just right, so it''s more appropriate to send troops. "


    After hearing this, Liu Zhang nodded and said, "if the dialect is reasonable, I will inform Cheng Yu and decide to send troops next year."


    Li Yan said, "all of you are wise."


    Liu Zhang discussed with Pang Xi, Zhang song, FA Zheng and others, and decided to unite with Cao Cao. Then he asked them to step down and prepare to get in touch with Cheng Yu.


    Zhang Song and Fazheng went out of the house. Zhang Song got into Fazheng''s carriage and said in a hurry, "Xiaozhi, Liu Zhang will send troops to attack Jingzhou, which is bound to have an impact on the princes. Why don''t you stop him?"


    After returning to Chengdu, Fazheng has convinced Zhang song to be loyal to Liu Xiu. Now, Zhang song is also Liu Xiu''s person.


    Fazheng said: "brother ziqiao, we are in Chengdu. Do you think the guild is defeated? What''s more, although my Lord has temporarily stopped fighting and recuperated, not everyone can handle it. This time Liu Zhang sent troops, we can inform the Lord in advance, let him make preparations early, and then mediate. Do you understand? "


    After hearing this, Zhang Song brightened his eyes and exclaimed, "Xiaozhi, your idea is very good. This time, we''ll do it. Liu Zhang thought he could win, but he didn''t know that he would lose. "


    Fazheng said, "that''s the truth."


    When they arrived at Fazheng''s house, they discussed the matter, and immediately contacted the royal guards in their house to send the news to Jingzhou.

 Chapter 427

    Jingzhou, Xiangyang.


    The prefecture!


    Deng Zhan''s face was dignified. After entering the yamen, he went straight to Liu Xiu''s study.


    Entering the study, Deng Zhan took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Xiu. He said, "my Lord, this is the news just received from Yizhou. The situation is grim."


    After Liu Xiu browsed one side, his eyes became sharp.


    After the spring of next year, Yizhou will attack Nanjun!


    The news is shocking.


    In addition to Yizhou, Cao Ren''s army in Nanyang County will also send troops to the south.


    This news is really amazing.


    But the advantage is that even if there is a war, it will be after the spring of next year. Liu Xiuxian, in particular, has mastered the intelligence and initiative, and it will be easy to wait for the war to start next year.


    Liu Xiu said, "Deng Zhan, send orders to Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Yi Ji, Kuai Liang, Yang Shu, Liao Hua, Huo Jun and Yi Feng to come to the hall for discussion."


    "No!"


    When Deng Zhan got the order, he went down to inform him.


    Everyone gathered in the hall and took their seats.


    Liu Xiuse said: "just received the news, Cao Cao sent Cheng Yu to Yizhou, and has united with Liu Zhang of Yizhou. At present, Liu Zhang and Cao Cao have decided to attack Jingzhou after the spring of next year. Among them, Cao Ren will go south to Nanyang County, and Liu Zhang will attack Nanyang County. "


    When they heard this, they were all surprised.


    The news came too suddenly.


    Yi Ji said: "Cao Cao joined forces with Liu Zhang, and the two sides attacked each other. It seems that Jingzhou can''t be peaceful again."


    Kuai Liang said: "in terms of grain, it seems that we should make preparations in advance. Otherwise, if we meet suddenly, the grain will not be able to keep up. Today, the total strength of Jingzhou has already exceeded 150000. It''s not easy to raise so many soldiers in Jingzhou. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Ji Bo, Zi Rou, you two have to worry about food and equipment. Before the spring of next year, we must prepare the food for war. "


    "No!"


    Yi Ji and Kuai Liang bow their hands.


    Pang Tong said slowly: "Lord, besides Cao Cao and Liu Zhang, we have to guard against Sun Quan in Jiangdong. Although Sun Quan is seeking peace for the time being, he is a lonely Wolf. Once he sees turmoil in Jingzhou, Sun Quan will surely send troops. Therefore, Jiangdong has to ask Huang Zhong and Tai Shici to put more effort into keeping them on guard. "


    Liu xiudao: "Shi Yuan''s analysis is reasonable. I''m afraid Sun Quan won''t sit back and ignore it."


    Jia Xu smoothed his beard under his jaw and said, "Lord, in fact, the alliance between Cao Cao and Liu Zhang seems to be fierce and is more likely to cause a series of reactions. But it is also very easy to study it carefully."


    Everyone''s eyes fall on Jia Xu.


    Liu xiudao: "what do you think of Mr. Wenhe?"


    Jia Xu said: "the worst situation is that Cao Cao, Liu Zhang and Sun Quan attack at the same time. But let''s analyze it. Cao Cao is the most powerful among them, but he is also the one who can''t get rid of himself. "


    "Last time, Cao Cao coerced 200000 troops to the south."


    "In the end, he was burned clean by the Lord, and the losses were so heavy that there was turmoil in the northern states. Although Cao Cao must have recovered after he sent troops to suppress it, he must have garrisons to guard it. It is impossible for him to send so many troops to the south. "


    "At present, Cao''s troops are just Cao Ren''s troops going south. They seem fierce, but in fact they are strong outside and strong in the middle."


    "Therefore, Cao Jun''s journey can be ignored. Just send a letter to Zhang Ren to make him more careful and alert, so that he won''t be attacked and disorganized. Then nothing will happen."


    Jia Xu continued: "as for Sun Quan, the successive wars between Jiangdong and Jingzhou, especially the loss of huanggai and Lvmeng, and the surrender of taishici and Lu Su, have greatly weakened the power of Jiangdong. In particular, compared with Jingzhou, Jiangdong is more chaotic in the mountains, and is constrained by the aristocratic families. Sun Quan''s life is more difficult. If he wants to attack Jingzhou, it depends on the situation. If he has a chance, he will dare to attack. "


    "Even if the LORD was a little shocked, Jiangdong would not dare to act rashly."


    "The Jiangdong army has long been insufficient for fear."


    "I think the focus of this battle is still on the Yizhou army."


    "The reason why we say Yizhou army is not how strong and brave it is, it is because Yizhou army is the link between Cao army and Jiangdong army."


    Jia Xu''s eyes were bright, and there was a trace of sharpness in his deep eyes.


    It''s like a sharp knife.


    Jia Xu''s tone is very peaceful, but it seems to have a lot of strength, shocking.


    "On the surface, the Cao army is united with the Yizhou army, but in fact, it relies on the Yizhou army to take the lead. As I have said just now, the Jiangdong army would have sent troops only when the Cao army and the Yizhou army were successful."


    "Therefore, I think the focus of this battle is on the Yizhou army."


    "If the Yizhou army is defeated, then the Cao army will withdraw to Wan county and dare not go south. Dongjiang army will never covet it again. "Jia Xu said solemnly: "this battle only needs to be dealt a head-on blow to Yizhou army. Then the war that will be faced in the spring of next year will be solved."


    After hearing this, people''s eyes showed approval.


    Pang Tong took the initiative to say: "I agree with Wen He Gong''s analysis, which is indeed the truth."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes twinkled with joy and said, "I agree with Mr. Wenhe''s analysis. Well, let''s discuss it now and make a plan in advance for the war situation in the south. "


    "At present, according to the information sent back from Yizhou, it is not sure who will lead the troops and how many troops will be."


    "The only certainty is that the line of attack goes from Bajun to Nanjun. The county bordering Bajun and Nanjun is Wu County, while the only county bordering Wuxian and Bajun is Yufu county. Therefore, it can be determined that next year''s fighting will take place in Wu County and Yufu county. "


    "What we can do now is start from Wu County," Liu said


    When it comes to the arrangement of marching and fighting, Yi Ji and Kuai Liang do not interrupt.


    Yang Shu, Liao Hua, Yi Feng and Huo Jun are not in a good position. For the time being, they only have the role of spectators, then only Pang Tong and Jia Xu.


    Pang Tong said: "now that we have grasped the opportunity, if we are still waiting to die, it will be unreasonable. What''s more, Wen Hegong has made it clear just now that the key to this stop is the battle of Yizhou. Therefore, in this battle, we should not only fight well, but also fight quickly. We should defeat the Yizhou army which attacked Nanjun with lightning force. I suggest that once the war starts next year, we should take the initiative to attack. "


    Jia Xu said: "to take the initiative is really the best choice. Because we don''t know what the geographical situation is at the junction of Wu County and Yufu County, but generally speaking, I think we can make a big strategy, so we choose the junction of Yufu county and Wu County, find a suitable place, wait for the other party to break the border, and then fight it at one stroke. "


    After listening, Liu Xiu carefully considered their analysis.


    At present, this is the right analysis.


    After careful consideration, Liu Xiu said: "I don''t know the war situation ahead, and it''s difficult to deduce the layout in detail. So Wen he, Shi Yuan and Huo Jun, let''s go to Wu County in Nanjun. Go to check the information, and then make the layout. Well, we''ll start tomorrow morning. "


    "No!"


    Jia Xu, Pang Tong and Huo Jun immediately responded to the order.


    Yi Ji and Kuai Liang looked at each other with a familiar expression.


    Liu Xiu said, "Ji Bo and Zi Rou, when I''m no longer in Xiangyang, you two are working hard. Yang Shu, Liao Hua and Yi Feng are all good. Let them have more experience and strive to share more government affairs earlier. "


    "I''ll do it


    Yi Ji and Kuai Liang nodded when they heard the speech.


    After listening to this, Yang Shu, Liao Hua and Yi Feng all showed a trace of joy on their faces. Liu Xiu not only asked them to take part in the Jingzhou war, but also entrusted them personally. Obviously, he was very devoted to them. Only in this way, as long as they have made achievements, they will be able to make progress in the future.


    Liu Xiu waved the crowd to step down. Then he sent someone to inform Huang Hu and Sha Moke, and asked them to lead the 100 Flying Tiger camp and go to the backyard.


    This trip to Wu county involves the investigation of the terrain and the layout. It''s not something that can be completed in a day or two, so we have to talk to Huang Yueying and sun Shangxiang.

 Chapter 428

    Backyard!


    Huang Yueying and sun Shangxiang are working on embroidery to prepare their children''s clothes.


    Huang Yueying and sun Shangxiang do not know embroidery and female workers. One addicted to equipment manufacturing, one addicted to sword and gun. But now they all like embroidery and make clothes for their unborn children.


    They were busy and chatting.


    Huang Yueying has been here for a long time. She is not ashamed.


    She looked at sun Shangxiang and said, "little sister, you have been married to the third brother for some time. On weekdays, it''s you who serve the third brother. Why don''t you have any movement in your stomach? "


    Referring to this question, sun Shangxiang blushed and said, "sister, where do I know that?"


    Huang Yueying a pair of elder sister posture, way: "not I say you, this woman, or have children.". So you still have to work hard to get pregnant as soon as possible. "


    The infighting in the backyard never happened between the two women.


    On the contrary, they support each other and are very harmonious.


    Sun Shangxiang also showed his true feelings, saying: "children''s affairs are not what you want. It depends on fate."


    Huang Yueying said: "it''s OK. During this period of time, you should prepare more tonics for the third brother and give him a tonic. Then, you should strive for it and get pregnant as soon as possible."


    After hearing this, sun Shangxiang also showed a moving look on his face.


    The two girls were chatting. Suddenly, sun Shangxiang looked up outside the yard. A moment later, he saw Liu Xiu coming.


    Sun Shangxiang said: "sister, my husband is here."


    Huang Yueying stood up. With a smile on her face, she looked at Liu Xiu and asked, "how can my husband come to the backyard today? Don''t you deal with government affairs? "


    Liu xiudao: "it has been dealt with."


    "Sit down, pregnant, what are you standing for?"


    Liu Xiu went to Huang Yueying''s side and asked her to sit down. When he saw the clothes made by the two women, he suddenly laughed and said, "you two were not proficient in female workers. Now your skills are advancing by leaps and bounds. You are very proficient."


    Huang Yueying said, "third brother, you make fun of people."


    Sun Shangxiang also said: "when my husband says this, he dislikes his elder sister and my concubine. He didn''t know how to be a female worker."


    Liu xiudao: "your mouth is better than your embroidery skill."


    After chatting with the two girls, Liu Xiucai said, "tomorrow morning, I''m going to leave Xiangyang again. I don''t know when I''ll come back."


    Sun Shangxiang said, "what will your husband do?"


    Liu xiudao: "inspect the place."


    Sun Shangxiang nodded and stopped asking. In fact, as soon as she opened her mouth, she regretted it. Because she shouldn''t have asked about government affairs, Liu Xiu didn''t answer, just said a word.


    Huang Yueying said, "it''s nothing for my husband to leave Xiangyang. But I have an idea. "


    "What do you think?" Liu Xiu asked.


    The real respect for Huang Yuexiu''s wife is in his heart.


    Huang Yueying replied: "every time my husband goes out, he is surrounded by big men, who are hard to take care of. So this time I''ll leave Xiangyang to do something, so I''ll take you with me. With her, you can take care of your husband''s daily life. With her, I can rest assured. "


    Sun Shangxiang was surprised.


    Unexpectedly, Huang Yueying helped her in this way, which moved her deeply.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Yueying, I''ll go to work. I''ll go with the army. Shangxiang will go with me. It''s not convenient for men and women to be different."


    Huang Yueying said: "what''s inconvenient? Every time my husband goes out, his clothes change and daily care are in a mess. This time, just listen to me. "


    Sun Shangxiang sat aside, but it was inconvenient to interrupt.


    When she refused, sun Shangxiang''s kindness would be brushed away. If she did not refuse, Liu Xiu would be embarrassed.


    So, we have to stop talking.


    Liu Xiu took a look at sun Shangxiang, finally nodded and said, "well, I''ll take Shang Xiang with me."


    Huang Yueying said with a smile: "I know my husband is the best."


    Liu Xiu shakes his head and smiles. This girl, pregnant, has not changed at all. She is just as simple and kind. He looked at sun Shangxiang and said, "Shangxiang, get ready and come with me tomorrow."


    "Well!"


    Sun Shangxiang stood up, left Huang Yueying''s yard and went back to prepare.


    Liu xiudao: "come on, I''ll listen and see if there''s anything happening to the little guy?" He squatted on his side, his ears close to Huang Yueying''s protruding stomach, and listened carefully.


    Sun Shangxiang chuckled: "my husband, it''s only a few months. There''s no news so soon. At least, it will take seven or eight months before there will be any movement. "


    "Hey, I''ll listen to it."


    Liu Xiu lowered his head and listened carefully.


    Although he didn''t hear anything, Liu Xiu stroked and felt that Xianhuai''s stomach was bigger. He was also happy.It''s a wonderful feeling to be a father.


    It''s hard to suppress the thought that I will finally have my own children in this era.


    Huang Yueying held Liu Xiu''s hand and said, "third brother, although Shangxiang is very cheerful, she married from Jiangdong after all. There are no relatives here. You should give her more care. After all, we are all family. This girl''s temperament should be stronger. She won''t say anything when she comes across it. "


    Liu xiudao: "you still have so many things to do. You still have time to take care of others."


    Huang Yueying said with a smile, "I know my business. My husband will not ignore it."


    Liu Xiu couldn''t help laughing. He took Huang Yueying''s hand and tightened it. In the evening, Liu Xiu ate in Huang Yueying''s yard. After dinner, they took a walk in the backyard. While walking, chatting.


    Huang Yueying suddenly said, "third brother, if it''s a boy, what''s your name?"


    Liu xiudao: "this is a problem that needs to be considered carefully. If you don''t mention it, I haven''t thought about it yet. "


    Huang Yueying said, "if it''s a girl, what''s her name?"


    Liu xiudao: "you can think about it carefully." Suddenly, Liu xiudao said, "Yueying, have you considered your name?"


    Huang Yueying smiles and says, "the third brother is so powerful that he can''t hide anything from you."


    Liu xiudao: "go ahead, tell me the name you are thinking about?"


    "If it''s a boy''s name, I''ve considered two names, Liu Hu or Liu Qi. Hu and Qi both mean good luck and happiness. I hope they will be lucky and safe when I give birth to my son. If it''s a daughter, it can be called Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan, etc


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "your name is not bad. But when it''s time to have a baby. You have to be more stable about your father-in-law and teachers. They are quite proficient in names. "


    The names of the ancients, especially the names of men, all have moral meanings.


    Liu Xiu was a herdsman in Jingzhou, and he was in charge of a state. For such a feudal official, the name of his descendants was even more important.


    After hearing this, Huang Yueying said, "it''s OK. I''ll ask Pang Shi and her father to think about it then." Let Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan think about it, and Huang Yueying is also happy, because Liu Xiu attaches great importance to children, otherwise he will not ask the two most important elders.


    As the night deepened, it became colder.


    They went back to their room and chatted in the room.

 Chapter 429

    After the end of the new year, we entered the 13th year of Jian''an.


    This year is 208 A.D.


    In history, the battle of Guandu should have happened, and Liu Bei should also rise. Because the arrival of Liu Xiu has already changed the fate of countless people. Jingzhou''s power is also thriving, and no one can easily covet it.


    All these are accumulated by Liu Xiu bit by bit.


    Liu Xiu is not a bit proud, because this is just the beginning.


    No, he was supposed to be in Xiangyang for the Spring Festival, but he took Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Huo Jun and others to go from Xiangyang to Wuxian.


    There were only 100 Flying Tiger battalions with them.


    But Liu Xiu''s personal demonstration, more women disguised as men''s sun Shangxiang. When Huang Hu and Sha Moke knew sun Shangxiang''s identity, they both turned a blind eye and regarded them as not seeing him.


    Wu County, county.


    Liu Xiu, Pang Tong and others all settled in the county government.


    Government hall!


    Wu county magistrate Yan Li stood respectfully beside Liu Xiu and said, "when you come to Wu County, you should be informed. The next officer is ready to welcome you in advance."


    Liu xiudao said, "you don''t need these empty gifts. If you transfer the map of Wu County, I will use it."


    "No!"


    Yan Li was ordered to turn around and get ready.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huo Jun and asked, "Huo Jun, when will wenpin and Xu Shu arrive?"


    Huo Jun bowed and said, "Lord, according to the report of the sentinel, it is expected that general Wen and division Xu will arrive in half a day."


    This time Huo Jun followed him. He was doing all the contact and errands.


    Because it was about the war after the Spring Festival, Liu Xiu sent a letter to Jiangling County and asked wenpin and Xu Shu to come to Wuxian county to discuss. After all, Nanjun was the jurisdiction of wenpin.


    Liu Xiu nodded, looked at the crowd and said, "at the end of the new year, I should have spent the Spring Festival in Xiangyang, but I want you to follow me to Wuxian county. It''s hard for you."


    Jia Xu said: "Lord, a family is better than a family. We came to Wu county with our Lord for the sake of Jingzhou people, which is a matter of course. What''s more, as a herdsman in Jingzhou, if he can come, why can''t we? "


    Pang Tong said, "what Wen Hegong said is true."


    Other people also spoke in succession, all of them agreed with Jia Xu.


    At this time, Yan Li came in with the map of Wu County and spread it directly on the ground.


    This map, a sheepskin map, is marked in great detail. The mountains, official roads, lakes, rivers and streams on it are all carefully marked.


    After Liu Xiu looked at them all, his eyes fell on the border of Yufu county.


    On the map, at the border with Yufu County, there are also some landforms of Yufu County, but they are not very clear.


    Pang Tong also looked at the map and said, "Lord, please look at the place on the map that borders Yufu county. There is a place marked with a gourd shaped terrain. The mouth of the gourd is toward Yufu County, and the middle and abdomen of the gourd is toward Wuxian county. "


    "In terms of terrain, after the army entered Hulukou, the terrain was narrow at first, and then gradually became broad."


    "If we choose the battlefield here, we just need to wait for the other party''s troops to enter, and then give a head-on blow to get the other party back to Hulukou."


    "At that time, Hulukou is the place where the other party died."


    Pang Tong''s eyes were shining with fine light.


    Jia Xu looked at the topographic map of Hulukou and said, "according to this layout, the chance of winning should be great. Once the terrain of Hulukou is used successfully, the battle will be won. However, the use of hulugu for planning, there is no stream around, using the strategy of flooding is certainly not feasible. If we want to annihilate the enemy''s army, I''m afraid we can only take fire attack. "


    Pang Tong said: "if it''s a fire attack, it must be prepared in advance. However, for the time being, we can not know when the other side will send troops, which is also a problem. Otherwise, it will not help if we plan a fire attack ahead of time. "


    Liu Xiu said: "don''t worry about the time when the other side sends troops. As long as Yizhou army sends troops, it must be under my control."


    "If so, it will be easy," Jia said


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "what is Mr. Wenhe going to do?"


    Jia Xu had a sharp look in his eyes and said: "Lord, we just need to send a vanguard to go there, and then deliberately feign defeat. Yizhou army pursues. Once they reach the position inside the gourd mouth, they can set fire to it. If we know the situation in advance, we can lay an ambush in advance. Once the other side enters the gourd mouth, it can win


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu said, "for the time being, I will follow Wen he''s fire attack strategy. However, at that time, maybe there will be a simpler strategy."


    "Oh, what strategy?"


    Liu Xiu''s words made Jia Xu extremely confused.


    Pang Tong''s eyes brightened, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and said: "the Lord''s meaning is to combine the inside with the outside?""So it is


    Liu Xiu had a look of appreciation in his eyes.


    If there were Fazheng or Zhang song among the leaders, it would be quite easy for Liu Xiu to complete this plan.


    Although Jia Xu didn''t know the situation of Yizhou, nor did he know that Fazheng and Zhang Song were Liu Xiu''s people, he said after listening to the four words of "internal cooperation and external cooperation", that "if the Lord wants to implement the strategy of internal cooperation and external cooperation, then the status of this person must be low, in order to operate effectively. This means that the senior officials in Yizhou have their own masters. And once he leads, it''s easy. "


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu nodded with a smile in his eyes.


    Jia Xu arched his hand and said, "my Lord is wise. I admire him."


    Jia Xu did not expect that Liu Xiu had reached for Yizhou and successfully accepted Yizhou officials. Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu''s northern expedition to Cao Cao was not a difficult task.


    Even Jia Xu can speculate, what if Cao Cao''s command has also planted Liu Xiu''s people? Even if the placement of low-ranking people, it is also possible to do.


    When they had agreed, they told them to go down and have a rest.


    In the evening, Wen pin and Xu Shu arrived.


    Liu Xiu personally summoned the two men and told them about the alliance between Yizhou and Cao Cao, and let wenpin quietly dispatch troops from Jiangling County. To hide from the Yizhou side, it is impossible to deploy troops in a big way. We can only act quietly and make arrangements.


    Wen pin got the order and immediately arranged it.


    Liu Xiu looked at Xu Shu and asked, "Yuanzhi, how many soldiers are there in the first army?"


    Xu Shu looked neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "the original force exceeded 30000, and finally it was reduced back to 30000. These 30000 people, while training, are also reclaiming farmland. "


    Liu xiudao: "well, it should be like this."


    Xu Shu also said: "at present, the territory of Nanjun is flourishing. My Lord, even if he was attacked by the Yizhou army without knowing it, I am sure I can win with the wenpin general. "


    "Good!"


    With a smile in his eyes, Liu Xiu was also infected by Xu Shu.

 Chapter 430

    Time flow, in a twinkling of an eye, has been the beginning of spring in March.


    The weather began to warm up and the sun was shining.


    Early in the morning, Liu Xiu finished washing, had breakfast, and took sun Shangxiang to hang out in Wu County. Everything has been arranged. What we have to do now is wait.


    Everything is ready, only the east wind.


    They strolled in the street in high spirits.


    Sun Shangxiang followed Liu Xiu, his bright eyes shining with happiness.


    Following Liu Xiu for the past few months, she has never felt happy. The only thing that made her lose was that she didn''t have a baby after being with Liu Xiu for such a long time. However, sun Shangxiang also knew that he was not in a hurry, so he had to let it go.


    "Husband, there are monkey people ahead. Let''s go and have a look."


    Sun Shangxiang''s sharp eyes suddenly saw a circle of people on the street ahead.


    On the high platform of the center, someone is playing monkey.


    Liu xiudao: "yes!"


    They walked together and went forward.


    At this time, the news came back to the camp with two Gongzi


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he was overjoyed and said, "I know!"


    He looked at sun Shangxiang and said, "Shangxiang, I will go back to the county government as soon as the news comes back."


    Sun Shangxiang said, "business matters."


    They went back to the county government, sun Shangxiang went to the backyard to have a rest, and Liu Xiu went directly to the hall.


    Entering the hall, the royal guards immediately delivered the news.


    Liu Xiu looked at it and said, "Liu Zhang has sent troops. This time, Yizhou army has 30000 troops. Liu Ruo is the chief General and Fazheng is the commander. "


    Jia Xu didn''t know the identity of Fazheng. He asked, "Lord, are there any of us coming here?"


    Liu xiudao: "the law is right."


    "Ah


    Jia Xu couldn''t help exclaiming. He didn''t expect that it was Fazheng.


    You know, although the official position of Fazheng Yizhou is not prominent, it is at least Liu Zhang''s confidant. Even Fazheng is a member of Liu Xiu''s team, so there must be no suspense in this battle.


    With the cooperation of France and Zheng, the 30000 troops led by Liu Ruo were easily defeated.


    Jia Xu said: "in this way, the master''s strategy is to cooperate internally and externally. Has he given up the fire attack?"


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu nodded, his eyes shining.


    30000 troops!


    Captured 30000 troops, this is a great opportunity to blackmail Liu Zhang.


    Although Liu Zhang''s ability was very ordinary, under his administration, Yizhou was also able to coordinate the government and people, and had plenty of food and grass. At present, Jingzhou is full of troops, but there is some shortage of food. Extorting Liu Zhang is the best result.


    Jia Xu added: "now that the law has been enacted, then the plan can be implemented."


    Liu Xiu looked at Huo Jun and said, "Huo Jun, before that, the strategy has been deduced many times. You''ve been listening. Are you sure you''re going to finish the plan? "


    "Yes


    Huo Jun nodded, his eyes twinkled with excitement.


    He clearly understood that Liu Xiu was deliberately cultivating his ability. He didn''t want to miss such an opportunity.


    Liu xiudao: "in that case, I will wait and see."


    Huo Jun said: "I will not lose my Lord''s high hopes."


    After that, Huo Jun turned and left.


    Huo Jun left first, and then Liu Xiu began to give orders. Wen pin, Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Jia Xu and others all began to take action to carry out the plan.


    ¡­¡­


    Yufu County, outside the city gate.


    The county magistrate of Yufu County, together with county officials, county captains and officials, all stood.


    County Magistrate named Wang Ye, was born in a poor family, was born in a dignified manner.


    The reason why Wang Ye and his officials met at the gate of the city was that Liu Ruo and FA Zheng led soldiers to arrive and would be stationed in Yufu County, so he had to meet them.


    "Here, my Lord."


    Suddenly, the county magistrate said.


    Wang Ye looked up and saw an army on the horizon ahead.


    This army is the Yizhou army led by Liu Ruo and Fazheng.


    Before long, Liu Ruo and Fazheng had arrived at the gate of the county. Liu Ruo, a young man in his early thirties, was also a general under Liu Zhang.


    He rode on a horse, looked down at Wang Ye, said: "Wang county magistrate, into the city."


    "General Liu, please!"


    Wang Ye saw Liu Ruo''s attitude and frowned slightly. Although he is a county magistrate, and the other side is the leader of the general, but the other side is so proud, uncomfortable.


    Fazheng said: "Wang county magistrate has been waiting for a long time. It''s hard."


    Wang Ye shook his head and said, "no harm."


    A group of people entered the city, while the army camped outside the city temporarily. When he arrived at the county government office, Wang Ye held a banquet for Liu Ruo. At the banquet, Liu Ruo was choosy again and tried every means to find out that Wang Ye was uncomfortable. It was a banquet and ended in unhappiness.Liu Ruo left with his own soldiers, but Fazheng stayed.


    In the study, Fazheng and Wang Ye are seated.


    With apology on his face, FA Zheng took the initiative to say: "magistrate Wang, General Liu has a straight character. Please include him a lot. After all, he''s the boss


    Wang Ye said, "I''m just a county magistrate. I don''t dare to do anything. Don''t worry about it."


    FA Zhengdao said: "Wang county magistrate''s words are a source of resentment. To be honest, in fact, Wang county magistrate is not the first. When the army came from Chengdu and settled down in various counties along the way, all kinds of things happened. But after all, it''s for the Lord, for Yizhou. "


    Wang Ye sighed with emotion and said: "French military strategist, even if you report to the governor. In the next sentence, I am not happy. First, Jingzhou is extremely powerful and powerful. Under such circumstances, is it appropriate to attack Jingzhou? "


    Fazheng replied: "this war is a joint battle with Cao''s army. Therefore, Wang county magistrate does not have to worry. "


    Wang Ye shook his head and said, "Cao Cao was defeated last year. Last year, Cao Cao was extremely powerful and defeated in the end. And now? "


    Fazheng said: "it''s true. I''ve tried to persuade you, but you''ve decided. Because Cao Jun promised to defeat Nanyang County and take Zhang Ren, and then he handed Zhang Ren over to Liu Jingzhou for disposal. "


    After drinking, Wang Ye lost control of his mood and said directly: "this is even more wrong. You know, at the beginning, general Zhang was removed by the governor himself. It can''t be blamed that general Zhang surrendered to Liu Jingzhou. What''s more, the governor of the state is not benevolent. How can he blame Zhang Ren? Now, the governor of the state has to deal with Zhang Ren, and that''s even more wrong. "


    Fazheng said: "well, it''s really hard to say. However, Zhang Ren is a blessing in disguise. He is now the chief General of the Fifth Army under Liu Xiu. He is in charge of the first army and has great power. "


    Wang Ye said, "yes, it''s really enviable."


    Fazheng said with a smile, "what does magistrate Wang envy?"


    Wang Ye replied, "if you admire the officials in Jingzhou, as long as they are outstanding, you can show your strong points and not be covered by dust. If you admire Zhang Ren, you will have a good ruler. Not like our state pastor, just by preference. Look at Liu Ruo. If he was not blind, how could he choose Liu Ruo? "


    Fazheng said, "magistrate Wang, you are drunk!"


    Wang Ye said, "I''m not drunk, I''m not drunk! Alas, if only Liu Jingzhou could fight this war directly. "


    After hearing this, Fazheng began to laugh in his heart. With Wang Ye''s words, Liu Xiu killed Yufu county and wanted to capture Yufu county. That was easy.

 Chapter 431

    Fazheng talked with Wang Ye very late, and finally returned to the barracks outside the city.


    As soon as he arrived at the gate of the barracks, a soldier reported: "French Army division, this afternoon, a relative of yours came to join us. Now, he''s waiting outside your camp for a while. "


    "I see!"


    Fazheng nodded and went to his own business.


    Outside the battalion commander, he saw a man in his thirties standing at the gate of the battalion commander.


    Fazheng didn''t know Huo Jun''s identity, but after listening to the soldiers at the gate of the camp, he had a guess in his heart and waved his hand and said, "follow me!"


    Huo Jun nodded and followed him into the camp.


    After sitting down, Fazheng asked directly, "your name, where do you come from?"


    Huo Jun lowered his voice and said, "I''m Huo Jun from Jingzhou."


    Fazheng said, "what are you doing from Jingzhou?"


    Huo Jun understood what Fazheng was trying to say. With a smile, he took down a sword from his waist and handed it to Fazheng''s desk. He said with a straight face: "as a man of the Lord, the French military division should know his accessories. This Zhenshan sword was given to me by my Lord to prove my identity. "


    Fazheng took the sword and looked at it carefully.


    Liu Peishan knew it. It was his news.


    After checking the Zhenshan sword, Fazheng said with a smile: "I don''t know what''s important about the Lord''s sending me down here?"


    Huo Jun replied: "the French military division, the Lord has arrived in Hewu county."


    To Wu County?


    Fazheng looked surprised and shocked.


    When Fazheng took part in the battle, he naturally understood the situation of the map. He and Liu Ruo were ordered to attack Nanjun County, and the target was Wuxian county. Now Liu Xiu has come in person. It seems that this war is ready.


    Fazheng said, "what is the Lord going to do?"


    Huo Jun said: "my Lord''s plan is like this As long as Liu Ruo is defeated, the French military division will be able to take over the army and surrender naturally


    After hearing this, Fazheng made a quick deduction in his heart and nodded: "yes, tomorrow morning, the army will continue to leave for Wu County. I''ll talk to Liu Ruo about the journey. "


    Huo Jun said: "it''s so hard for the French army."


    Fazheng said with a light smile, "it''s all for the Lord. What about hard work? You''ll stay in my camp for the time being, and you''ll come back no later than tomorrow when you can make a decision for Liu Ruo. "


    "Yes


    Huo Jun nodded and stayed in the camp.


    The next morning, the army left Yufu county and went on to Wu County.


    On the way, when the army stopped to camp, Fazheng came to Liu Ruo.


    Liu Ruo said: "military adviser, we are not far from Wu County. We should be able to arrive one day later. This time, we''re going to attack Wuxian by surprise. "


    FA Zheng said with a smile: "with General Liu personally leading the army, it is natural that we will win. But... "


    At this point, Fazheng hesitated for a moment.


    Liu Ruo noticed the situation of Fazheng and said, "if there''s anything to say, the military division doesn''t need to hide it."


    Fazheng said: "I get the news that Liu Xiu has led his army to Wu County."


    "Ah


    Liu Ruo exclaimed with a look of shock on his face.


    How is that possible?


    Along the way, Liu Ruo is as low-key as possible, did not expect to be found? Liu Xiu arrived in Wu County ahead of time, so the situation was not good.


    Liu Ruo said: "military adviser, is the news accurate?"


    Fazheng said: "this news is from the hidden pile inserted by the main public security bureau in Wu County. It is absolutely reliable."


    Liu Ruo took a look at FA Zheng, then he was silent and said, "military strategist, if Liu Xiu had been prepared, then there must be an army waiting for us in Wu County. So, this battle is definitely not easy. What is the strategist''s plan to win? "


    Fazheng hesitated and said, "general!"


    Liu Ruo was a little impatient and said, "military strategist, you scholars are troublesome, dawdling and always playing tricks. Come on, don''t play the game. "


    FA Zhengdao: "there is a way, but there are some risks."


    "You say it


    Liu Ruo''s eyes flashed a touch of splendor, and his eyes were excited.


    Fazheng continued: "the Lord''s hidden pile inquired into the news and found the place where Liu Xiu''s army hoarded grain in Wu County."


    Liu Ruo''s eyes beamed with joy and said, "is there any news? That''s great news. Now we know the location of the other party''s stock, as long as we burn the other party''s grain with a fire, or capture it directly. Then the battle will be won. "


    "At the beginning, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had a decisive battle, and the two sides were deadlocked. In the end, it was Cao Cao who raided WuChao and directly captured the place where Yuan Shao hoarded grain. After a fire was burned, Yuan Shao broke free. "


    "Today, although Liu Xiu is fierce, as long as the food and grass are burned, he is a tiger with teeth pulled out."Liu Ruo said excitedly: "this is good news, military adviser. Why do you look like you want to talk and stop?"


    FA Zhengdao: "I know general Liu''s analysis. I''m glad to find out where Liu Xiu hoarded his grain, but it''s very difficult for me to get into the granary. That''s why I want to stop talking. On the one hand, I am glad to see the opportunity; on the other hand, this opportunity is not easy to complete, and my heart is entangled. "


    Liu Ruo laughed and said: "military division, military division, when the two armies meet, the brave will win. How can they accomplish things easily? You are still inexperienced. You are afraid of this and that. "


    Fazheng said modestly: "the general has experienced many battles, so I can''t compare him."


    Liu Ru asked, "come on, where is the place where Liu Xiu hoards grain?"


    Fazheng told the soldiers to take the map and point to the place on the map, which is located on the border of Wu County and Yufu County, a place called shilishan.


    FA Zhengdao said, "Liu Xiu''s grain was stored in shilishan."


    Liu Ruo was surprised and said, "it''s the border. Liu Xiu has great courage. They chose to be near the battlefield. "


    Fazheng also said with emotion: "this is where Liu Xiu is so powerful. Unexpectedly, the more dangerous the place is, the safer it is. Who would have thought that his granary was not in the rear, but in the place where the front line was fighting? This alone shows Liu Xiu''s strength. I dare not do this without a certain amount of courage and courage. "


    Liu Ruo said: "the military adviser has a point. Liu Xiu is really powerful. But have you ever inquired into the situation of the garrison? "


    Fazheng replied: "the garrison is Huang Hu, who is the first tiger general under Liu Xiu''s command. He holds a golden hammer in both hands, which is extremely powerful. There are about a thousand soldiers stationed in the army. "


    "A thousand soldiers, ha ha, it''s not enough to be afraid."


    Liu Ruo couldn''t help shaking his head.


    Fazheng said: "the general must not despise Huang Hu. Huang Hu is a tiger general. Although he has only 1000 soldiers under his command, Huang Hu dares to fight even in the face of tens of thousands of troops. This man is the one who takes the rank of general among the armies. "


    Liu Ruo was unconvinced and said, "military strategist, you are exaggerating. It''s not surprising that children are the only ones. In my opinion, Huang Hu''s martial arts are exaggerated. "


    Fazheng said, "is the general going to attack the granary?"


    Liu Ruo nodded and said, "of course, I will lead two thousand elite soldiers to ambush the granary of Shili mountain."


    FA Zhengdao: "the general must be careful."


    Liu Ruo waved his hand and said, "don''t worry, I will pay attention to it."


    With a relaxed look on his face, FA Zheng stopped persuading him, just talking about the current situation.

 Chapter 432

    Shilishan is located at the junction of Yufu county and Wu County.


    This place is not the official road connecting Yufu county and Wu County, so few people come here. At the foot of Shili mountain is the open and gentle terrain, with rows of barracks.


    All the villages were built along the mountain, with drainage ditches and fences.


    In the camp, there are soldiers patrolling back and forth.


    In the camp, Liu Xiu, Huang Hu and shamoko took their seats respectively.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Huang Hu and Sha Moke, and said, "about Liu Ruo attacking the camp, you two are the main attackers. Remember clearly, you must catch them alive. Do you understand?"


    Before, he had reminded them.


    But when these two men went to the battlefield, it was another scene. They didn''t know what their surnames were. So Liu Xiucai reminded them again. Because the next 30000 troops to be killed also need Liu Ruo to live.


    "Newspaper!"


    Outside the battalion commander, came the voice of the soldiers: "my Lord, Nanyang County has news back."


    "Come in!"


    Liu xiuphen said.


    Immediately, a soldier came in with a letter in his hand, handed it respectfully to Liu Xiu''s desk, and then stepped back.


    Liu Xiu took it apart and looked at it carefully. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.


    The content of the letter said that Cao Ren''s army moved southward, but when the army arrived in Xinye County, it temporarily stagnated and assumed a posture of confrontation.


    As a result, Jia Xu''s original conjecture was confirmed.


    Both Cao Cao and Sun Quan are watching, hoping that Liu Zhang will become a bird.


    If Liu Zhang wins, Cao Cao and Sun Quan will kill him immediately to get a share, but if Liu Zhang''s army loses. They can immediately protect themselves, or they can shirk on the ground that they sent troops later.


    In any case, Liu Zhang has become the first bird, and the bow did not turn back, Liu Zhang can no longer repent.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Hu and Sha Moke and said, "just got the news, Liu Ruo led two thousand elite soldiers to kill him. If Liu chooses to travel at night, he will arrive at Shili mountain the day after tomorrow at the latest. "


    Huang Hu looked excited and said, "are you coming at last? We have been in Wu County for several months, and now we are here at last. "


    Shamoko also rubbed his fists. He said with a straight face, "Huzi has a point. I''ve been waiting a long time."


    Liu Xiu looked at them and said, "everything, act according to the plan."


    "No!"


    Huang Hu and shamoko nodded solemnly when they heard the speech.


    ¡­¡­


    Liu Ruo led two thousand elite soldiers to arrive near shilishan, then postponed their advance and sent soldiers out to inquire about the news. When I got the news from the sentinel, I knew that there were many Barracks at the foot of Shili mountain, and I felt at ease.


    Liu Ruo did not rashly attack, but chose to hide in the daytime.


    At night, the bright moon is in the sky.


    The soft moonlight came down and made the night dim.


    Liu Ruo led two thousand soldiers to march forward against the moonlight, and soon they were near the camp.


    The army lurks temporarily, and Liu Ruo looks outside the camp tent.


    At this time, there are two soldiers standing guard at the gate of the camp. There is a group of soldiers patrolling in the camp. There are not many soldiers stationed in the huge camp.


    Liu Ru sneered in his heart and thought, "although Huang Hu is good at martial arts, he doesn''t understand the art of war. Granary is the most important thing. It''s really disappointing that the defense at night is so lax. "


    Liu Ruo thought of Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu just sent a brave man to guard the granary, which is also unknown.


    At the beginning, Ling Bao, Deng Xian and others suffered from Liu Xiu. Liu Ruo, Zhang Ren, Ling Bao and Deng Xian were the four generals of Xichuan. Except for Liu Ruo, all the others were killed. When they surrendered, he was unconvinced and wanted to earn face.


    There was a bright look in Liu Ruo''s eyes.


    Here''s the chance!


    This is his chance to make a name for himself.


    Liu Ruo pulled out his sword and pointed to the front of it. He said in a loud voice: "sons, follow me


    Liu Ruo takes the lead, kicks the horse''s belly with both legs, and kills him first.


    Two thousand elites followed and killed them immediately.


    Shouts of killing rang from the foot of Shili mountain.


    When the soldiers in the camp saw the enemy soldiers coming, they immediately assembled and prepared to resist.


    Liu Ruo saw the troops in the camp hastily gathered to resist, and his face was even more pleased. This situation proves the chance of this war.


    This battle will be won!


    For a moment, Liu Ruo has led his troops into the camp.


    "Kill, follow me in."


    Liu Ruo roared and waved his sword in the air.


    The rest of the soldiers also followed into the camp. Once the two sides got in touch, the soldiers who resisted immediately collapsed and retreated into the camp.


    When Liu Ruo saw this, he was even more delighted.For a time, there was no doubt in my heart.


    The army entered and went straight to the barracks.


    A moment later, all of a sudden, an attacking soldier said in a loud voice: "general, no, the camp is empty."


    "General, I don''t find any food here either."


    "General, there are no soldiers in the camp."


    "General, the camp is completely empty. There is nothing."


    One by one, the soldiers cried out, and panic appeared on their faces.


    If there are some bedding in the camp, or there are soldiers sleeping, that''s OK. But the fact is, it''s just an empty camp with nothing.


    Such a situation has to be doubted.


    Liu Ruo also had a bad feeling in his heart, because the soldiers who withdrew into the camp had no resistance at all.


    "Withdraw, withdraw immediately."


    Although this is the granary, but encountered the current situation, Liu Ruo is not sure, can only retreat immediately.


    The soldiers had to be ordered to turn around and go out.


    "Hoo! Hoo


    Suddenly, on both sides of the road outside the camp, soldiers stood up. As soldiers grapple with torches, the camp is as bright as day.


    The fire red light reflects the night sky.


    Shamoko drove his horse out and roared, "Liu Ruo, where to go, take your life."


    "Kill


    With a loud roar, shamoko took the mace in his hand and led 500 soldiers to kill him.


    After all, there were 2000 soldiers under Liu Ruo''s command. Although there were troops outside the camp, he was nervous, but he was not too worried. He was calm and ordered: "withdraw, kill out."


    The team broke through outside the camp. As soon as they got to the gate of the camp, shamoke had led the soldiers to kill him and blocked Liu Ruo''s exit.


    Shamoko is extremely brave, and the 500 First Army soldiers under wenpin fight bravely.


    In a sprint, the retreating Yizhou soldiers were scattered.


    This army broke up at that time.


    Liu Ruo was also surrounded by soldiers and withdrew to the camp. He saw that the gate of the camp was blocked, and his soldiers couldn''t rush out. He was a little anxious and yelled: "kill, kill out."


    There are ambushes outside the camp, which means that there may be ambushes inside the camp.


    "Liu Ruo, the tiger Lord has been waiting here for a long time. He''ll take his life."


    A loud voice suddenly sounded in the camp. Huang Hu spurred his horse, and his two golden hammers were flying in the air.


    Behind Huang Hu, there are also 500 soldiers of the first army.


    Five hundred soldiers followed Huang Hu and quickly approached Liu Ruo''s army.


    Liu Ruo''s eyes fall on Huang Hu. He takes a look at Huang Hu. He clenches his sword and wants to rush up to kill Huang Hu. But at the thought of Huang Hu''s martial arts, he finally gave up his mind and stayed in the same place.


    Huang Hu is hiding in the camp. At the beginning, he pays attention to Liu Ruo''s movement. This time, he kills Liu Ruo. The golden hammer in his hand killed two Yizhou soldiers. He had already approached Liu Ruo and roared, "Liu Ruo, take your life!"


    Like the sound of thunder, Liu Ruo can''t help beating a cicada.

 Chapter 433

    "Da! Dada


    The sound of the horse''s hooves was rapid, and Huang Hu, with a golden hammer in a drum jar, quickly approached Liu Ruo.


    That momentum, scared Liu Ruo dare not resist.


    "Block the yellow tiger, block it for me."


    Liu Ruo orders out loud, and the guards around him rush up immediately.


    When Huang Hu saw the Yizhou soldiers coming, the horse in his crotch didn''t stop at all. He just beat the drum, urn and hammer in his hand and swept across directly.


    "Boom!"


    The drum jar, the gold hammer, the weapon.


    The steel knife in Yizhou soldier''s hand was hit and flew out. The hammer continued to drop and fell on the soldier''s head. In an instant, Yizhou soldier''s head cracked and immediately fell to the ground.


    The yellow tiger is like a fierce tiger going down the mountain. It is extremely fierce. It directly sweeps the Yizhou soldiers who come to resist.


    It''s less than three Zhang away from Liu Ruo.


    "Liu Ruo, die."


    Huang Hu was shouting, and his eyes were full of war.


    His body had been stained with bright red blood, and his cheeks were covered with blood stains. With that arrogant momentum, he was like a demon God. No Yizhou soldier dared to approach him within a foot.


    The Yizhou soldiers who resisted the yellow tiger also kept retreating.


    Seeing this scene, Liu Ruo was too scared to fight any more and was about to run away.


    Huang Hu hummed coldly. He swung the golden hammer of the drum jar in his right hand, raised it vigorously, and roared, "go!"


    "Hoo


    The golden hammer of the drum jar was thrown out and went straight to Liu Ruo''s horse.


    "Bang!"


    The golden hammer hit the horse''s buttocks, only heard the sound of chucking, and the horse''s buttocks directly sunken in.


    "Hey, Lulu!"


    The horse hissed. When it ran forward, the center had lost its balance and fell forward.


    "Boom!"


    Liu Ruo fell down from his horse when it fell down.


    However, Liu Ruo, after all, is a veteran on the battlefield and has rich combat experience. At the moment of his fall, he has already turned over. At the same time when the horse fell on the ground, Liu Ruo had separated from the horse''s back. He also fell in the air, but he was not crushed by the horse.


    Liu Ruo fell to the ground and screamed, but he gritted his teeth and stood up in pain.


    Huang Hu has already galloped to come over, in the hand of the drum urn gold hammer in the air, in an instant toward Liu Ruo hit.


    The hammer came quickly and quickly. Liu Ruo could not avoid it, so he had to pull out his sword to resist.


    "Dang!"


    The golden hammer hit the blade, and in an instant, the blade flew out.


    The golden hammer of the drum jar is as powerful as a bolt. Keep going.


    "Chaka!"


    The golden hammer of the drum jar hit Liu Ruo''s shoulder. In an instant, Liu Ruo''s bone broke, his body fell to the ground with a plop, and his mouth screamed bitterly.


    With one blow, Liu Ruo has already lost.


    Huang Hu stared at Liu Ruo and said coldly, "if the Lord hadn''t ordered you to be captured alive, the hammer just now would have killed you."


    Liu Ruo''s performance just now is in Huang Hu''s eyes.


    Such a fool insulted his drum beating urn and gold hammer when he fought with him.


    "Take it away!"


    Huang Hu ordered the soldiers to arrest Liu Ruo.


    "If Liu Ruo is captured, he will not be killed."


    The yellow tiger roared, and the rest of the soldiers roared.


    The Yizhou army, which had been attacked by Huang Hu and Sha Moke, was in decline. Suddenly, it was found that Liu Ruo had been captured, and each of them gave up their resistance.


    From the beginning to the end of the war, Liu Ruo didn''t persist for two quarters of an hour.


    At the end of the war, shamoko came to Huang Hu and looked at Liu Ruo. He shook his head, sighed and looked contemptuous.


    "Tiger, let''s go to the back camp."


    Shamoke, with a mace, escorts Liu Ruo back to camp with Huang Hu.


    ¡­¡­


    Back camp, back camp.


    Liu Xiu, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and Huo Jun took their seats respectively.


    Liu Xiu''s face was easy-going, and said: "the cry of killing has begun to weaken. The war should be over. Alas, this Liu Ruo is really not beaten. It''s less than half an hour since the beginning of the war. It''s really disappointing. "


    Everything is in order for this war.


    So after the war started, Liu Xiu, Pang Tong and others were waiting for news in Houying.


    According to the original plan, in order to capture Liu Ruo alive, Liu Xiu not only arranged for shamoko and Huang Hu inside and outside the camp, but also arranged for the soldiers of the first army transferred from wenpin to evacuate from the camp.


    Now the voice began to weaken, which means that Liu Ruo has been defeated.


    Now, it''s time to capture Liu Ruo alive.


    Pang Tong said with a light smile: "Lord, Liu Ruo was defeated in the first battle. On the other hand, it is also conducive to the next battle. It will be easier to win the 30000 troops Liu Ruo brought. "


    Liu xiudao: "it is indeed!"


    "Lord, the end will bring Liu Ruo."Suddenly, Huang Hu''s loud voice suddenly came from outside the camp.


    Then Huang Hu, Sha Moke and Liu Ruo, who were detained by the soldiers, came to the camp.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Liu Ruo.


    At this time, Liu Ruo''s clothes were not neat, his hair was in a mess. His shoulder was broken by the bone hammered by Huang Hu. After the blood flowed out, his clothes were soaked.


    Liu Xiu said, "come on, send the doctor. Bandage General Liu Ruo first."


    When the soldiers outside the battalion commander got the order, they immediately sent for someone.


    Liu Ru looked up at Liu Xiu, gritted his teeth, endured the pain on his shoulder, and said nothing. After a while, the doctor came to the camp and treated Liu Ruo. Then he straightened the bone again and carefully bandaged it before retreating.


    At this time, Liu Ruo relaxed.


    The pain in his shoulder finally eased a little after he was dressed with medicine.


    Liu Ruo gritted his teeth and said, "Liu Jingzhou, since he was defeated, if you want to kill him or cut him, you can''t surrender."


    Liu xiudao: "General Liu Ruo really has the backbone. I won''t let the officer order the doctor to bandage you. Since you are determined to die, I am not reluctant. Come on


    A soldier came in from outside the battalion commander.


    Liu Ruo''s heart, but nervous.


    What is Liu Xiu going to do?


    What he said just now is just raising his price. Because Liu Ruo thinks that since Liu Xiu has sent someone to bandage his wound, it means that Liu Xiu has plans to surrender him.


    Under such circumstances, it is not impossible for him to raise his own price.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "take Liu Ruo down and chop him."


    "Ah


    Liu Ruo exclaimed, with an incredible expression on his face.


    How is that possible?


    How could Liu Xiu kill him.


    However, the fact is that Liu Xiu''s soldiers, directly dragging his hand, are about to go out. In particular, the soldiers'' hands were not serious, which directly affected Liu Ruo''s wound and made Liu Ruo show his teeth in pain.


    "Let go!"


    Liu Ruo roared. The soldier who grasped his hand released his hand.


    Liu Ruo turned to Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Jingzhou, I''m willing to surrender."


    "Oh, are you willing to surrender?"


    There was a smile in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    Liu Ruo such a person, is really cheap, you release a little bit of goodwill, he will climb up the trend. If you want him to be obedient, you have to be direct.


    "I''m willing to surrender, I''m willing to surrender," Liu said


    Liu xiudao: "Liu Ruo, do you really want to surrender?"


    "Yes


    Liu Ruo was startled by Liu Xiu. He was already frightened and did not dare to argue with Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said, "that''s good. Since that''s the case, tomorrow morning, I will set out to meet Yizhou army. At that time, it''s up to you to persuade Yizhou army to surrender. Can you do that? "


    "Yes, I can!"


    Liu Ruo''s eyes turned, thinking about other escape strategies.


    Liu xiudao: "don''t worry. I''ll send someone to invite Fazheng to come at that time. With you in my hands, I dare not disobey you. At that time, you will be sent a message by Fazheng


    After listening, Liu Ruo''s heart suddenly cooled. If he went to the barracks to persuade him to surrender himself, then he could turn his back on the army, but Liu Xiugen didn''t give him a chance.


    Liu Ruo said: "Liu Jingzhou can rest assured that I will try my best to persuade you."


    Liu Xiu nodded and ordered the soldiers to take Liu Ruo down to rest. Then he asked Xu Shu to gather the soldiers and count the losses of the battle. Then he ordered the people to rest.

 Chapter 434

    Early the next morning, Liu Xiu and his army set out from shilishan.


    After converging with wenpin''s army, he quickly went to the junction of Wu County and Yufu county.


    Half a day later, he met the Yizhou army led by Fazheng.


    The two armies faced off and camped separately.


    At this time, Jingzhou barracks spread the news that Liu Ruo had already been captured alive, let Fazheng go. The news spread to the barracks of Yizhou army, which immediately set off a storm.


    Liu Ruo is the chief General. He was captured alive. This battle is a fart.


    What to do?


    The generals of Yizhou army looked surprised.


    All the people gathered in the big account of the Chinese army and found Fazheng to discuss the matter.


    Liu Ruo is no longer in the military camp. Fazheng is the person in charge.


    One of the generals said, "sergeant, General Liu has been captured. What are you going to do?" As soon as the words came out, the eyes of the others all fell on Fazheng. At this time, the answer is just what I think.


    Fazheng said: "General Liu was captured alive. Liu Xiu asked me to go. I can only go."


    "No military strategists."


    Suddenly, another general in the army immediately raised his objection.


    His name is Zhou Tong. He has excellent martial arts skills and is a valiant general. However, he was once subordinate to Zhang Ren. Later, after Zhang Ren was subordinated to Liu Xiu, he was in Chengdu again and was under Liu Ruo''s command.


    Because of his identity, he was hostile to Liu Ruo.


    Fazheng asked, "does general Zhou have anything to say?"


    Zhou Tong had sharp eyes and said: "at present, the capture of General Liu Ruo has led to the turmoil of the military. If the military adviser went to Liu Xiu''s barracks, Liu Xiu directly cheated and detained the military adviser, what would he do? Military adviser, you must not trust Liu Xiu. "


    "Fart!"


    Jiang Xuan, the general who spoke earlier, objected: "if General Liu, as the chief general, doesn''t care whether he goes to Liu Xiu''s barracks, he doesn''t care whether general Liu is alive or dead. I will never agree with that. "


    The rest of the people who belonged to Liu Ruo expressed their support one after another.


    There was almost no support for Zhou Tong.


    Fazheng glanced at the people under his command and made clear the situation. With the support of Liu Ruo''s lineage, it will be much easier to order everyone to surrender this time.


    FA Zheng looked awe inspiring and said, "gentlemen, if General Liu Ruo is not here, my military division will take charge of the army for the time being. Therefore, we should obey the orders of our military division. "


    When they heard the words, they did not speak.


    For the time being, no one knows the attitude of Fazheng. What will Fazheng do?


    Fazheng continued: "when General Liu Ruo was captured, our military division decided to go to Liu Xiu''s barracks for the meeting."


    "Alas..."


    After hearing this, Zhou Tong felt sorry on his face.


    Jiang Xuan and the others who were loyal to Liu Ruo had a bright smile on their faces. They looked at Fazheng one by one, and their eyes showed admiration.


    "Gao Yi, a military adviser, will be convinced."


    "Commander, it''s hard."


    "This time, the general will be able to go back to the barracks completely if there is a military division."


    One by one, they kept praising, and they didn''t think about the war at all.


    FA Zhengda brushed his sleeve and said, "our military division will go to Liu Xiu''s barracks immediately. During our military division''s absence, the army will keep alert and wait for the news. We are not allowed to act rashly."


    "No!"


    Everyone looked forward to it.


    Fazheng left the camp and went straight to the camp of Jingzhou army.


    The camp of Yizhou army was no more than six miles away from that of Jingzhou army. Soon after he gave his name, some soldiers came to meet him and took Fazheng to the camp.


    The Chinese Army''s big account, the guests and the hosts are seated.


    Only Liu Xiu and FA Zheng are in the camp.


    Liu Xiu said: "Xiaozhi, this battle is hard for you."


    FA Zhengdao: "it''s not hard to serve the Lord. Besides, the plan to capture Liu Ruo alive was also made by the Lord. I''m just talking. It''s not hard. "


    After a pause, Fazheng asked, "the Lord has captured Liu Ruo alive. What''s his next plan?"


    Liu Xiu said, "Xiaozhi, you have been under Liu Zhang''s command all the time. In this battle, if Liu Ruo is captured alive, the 30000 soldiers can be ordered to surrender. Moreover, the responsibility can be shifted to Liu Ruo. In this way, you will submit to me


    Fazheng heard the words, but he was silent.


    Liu Xiu asked, "do you have any worries about Xiaozhi?"


    FA Zhengdao said: "the Lord is very grateful for his humble duty. However, the humble duty thinks that it is not the best way to deal with the problem of reducing 30000 Yizhou soldiers."


    Liu Xiu asked, "how do you think about Xiaozhi?"


    Fazheng''s eyes were serious, and he said slowly, "with 30000 Yizhou soldiers, Liu Ruo and I in hand. Why didn''t the Lord start the negotiation? Liu Zhang managed Yizhou by asking for money and food. Money and food are the most useful. These 30000 Yizhou soldiers are of no use to the Lord. They are not willing to let them be civilians in Jingzhou, so it is unwise to accept the 30000 troops. "Liu Xiu, hearing the speech, nodded and agreed with Fazheng''s analysis.


    Fazheng continued: "the Lord will return Liu Ruo and 30000 troops after negotiating with Liu Zhang''s officials. At the same time, humble position also returned to Liu Zhang''s command again. In this way, I can lurk under the command of Liu Zhang to serve for the Lord and prepare for his future attack on Yizhou. "


    "Moreover, 30000 troops were defeated by the Lord. When they go back to Yizhou, they will also publicize the Lord''s strength. "


    "If they fight later, they will be afraid of their Lord."


    Fazheng said in a deep voice: "after controlling Liu Ruo and 30000 soldiers, he sent someone to Chengdu to send a message and asked Liu Zhang to send someone to negotiate."


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu said, "Xiaozhi, this will keep you in the dark."


    Fazheng said, "it''s an honor to serve the Lord."


    In fact, Fazheng has a plan for his own future. He also considered that he would take advantage of the situation to submit to Liu Xiu now, and no longer have to hide in the dark.


    However, Fazheng considers that Liu Xiu has Pang Tong around him, and recently he has recruited Jia Xu and two major military strategists. After he goes, how can he play his talents?


    On the contrary, if he stayed in Yizhou, he could continue to plan Yizhou for Liu Xiu.


    In the future, Liu Xiu won Yizhou, which is his first achievement. Fazheng was very clear about which was more important, so he would rather be in the dark than go to Liu Xiu immediately.


    Liu Xiu said, "in that case, I agree with your request."


    FA Zheng had a smile on his face and said, "thank you for your help."


    Next, he ordered Liu Ruo to come up and discuss with Liu Zhengfa


    At the command, the soldiers carried out the order immediately.


    A moment later, Liu Ruo was taken by the soldiers to the Chinese army.


    After Liu Ruo was captured alive, he had been worried about his own safety. Now he saw Fazheng, and his heart finally fell to the ground. He said hurriedly: "military adviser, help me, help me


    At the moment, Liu Ruo, where there is arrogance, is completely scared.


    FA Zhengdao: "don''t worry, general. I will do my best."


    Liu Xiu snorted and said, "Liu Ruo, if Fazheng doesn''t cooperate, you can''t survive." Liu Ruo''s mouth twitched slightly and his eyes fell on Fazheng, showing a look of longing.


    Fazheng said, "don''t worry, general. I''m here."


    After hearing this, Liu Ruo felt a little more confident. He looked at Liu Xiu and said, "if Liu Jingzhou has any conditions, just say it. Fazheng will certainly convey them."


    Fazheng also said: "Liu Jingzhou, please rest assured, as long as you are willing to release General Liu, everything is easy to say."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Fazheng, I want you to go to Yizhou military camp to convey Liu Ruo''s order and order Yizhou army to surrender. Otherwise, I will kill Liu Ruo. "


    "Ah


    Fazheng exclaimed, and his face looked surprised.


    His expression fell in Liu Ruo''s eyes, which made Liu Ruo feel uneasy. After all, it is absurd to order the soldiers to surrender directly.

 Chapter 435

    Liu Ruo looked eager and said, "French military strategist, you must help me."


    Fazheng said: "but, but..."


    Fazheng''s face showed an expression of embarrassment.


    Liu Ruo said with a worried face: "I know it''s wrong, but I have no other way. I can only rely on you. If the French don''t help me, I will die. "


    Liu Xiu had sharp eyes and said in a deep voice: "Fazheng, Liu Ruo''s life and death are in your hands. What are you going to do?"


    Fazheng is silent. On the surface, Fazheng is in a dilemma.


    In Liu Ruo''s view, the law is tangled.


    Just like this, Liu Ruo felt that he was in a dilemma.


    Liu Xiu said, "Fazheng, I will not embarrass you. If you are willing to watch Liu Ruo be killed, I will kill Liu Ruo and let you go back to fight. If you don''t want to see Liu Ru killed, help him. "


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Liu Ruo.


    Liu Ruo understood, and even hurriedly said, "military adviser, help me. If you don''t help me, I will be finished."


    "But


    Fazheng frowned, his eyes still tangled.


    Liu Ruo said: "French military strategist, since you have come to Jingzhou military camp, don''t you save me?"


    "OK, I''ll help you."


    Fazheng gritted his teeth and agreed directly.


    "Hoo


    Liu ruochang breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes finally showed a relaxed look.


    Liu Xiu also showed a smile in his eyes.


    In order to let Liu Ruo trust Fazheng and make such a play, Liu Ruo can no longer doubt Fazheng.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "I''m waiting for your news. Now, go back."


    "No!"


    Fazheng stood up and turned to leave.


    After leaving jingzhoujun''s barracks and returning to Yizhou''s barracks, the generals of the army immediately came up. Jiang Xuan, Zhou Tong and other generals all looked forward to it.


    Jiang Xuan asked, "how''s the situation, military adviser?"


    Zhou Tong also said: "military adviser, what did Liu Xiu ask for?"


    Fazheng did not say a word, but went to the big account of the Chinese army.


    The rest of the people, all behind Fazheng''s buttocks, looked at Fazheng''s dignified expression one by one, and felt heavy. Judging from Fazheng''s expression, Liu Xiu''s condition must be the lion''s big mouth.


    After taking his seat, Jiang Xuan asked again, "military adviser, what''s the matter?"


    Fazheng then said, "Liu Xiu said that to save general Liu, we have to surrender, otherwise we will kill general Liu. This is a dilemma for me. "


    When they heard the words, they were all in a state of astonishment.


    Zhou Tong didn''t even think about it. He said directly: "French Army division, although Liu Ruo is the chief general, he is now captured. If we surrender, it means that the army is completely defeated. I don''t agree to give up the whole army for Liu Ruo''s sake. "


    "Fuck you!"


    Without hesitation, Jiang Xuan came forward and retorted: "if we don''t care about General Liu, what morality can we have in the army. You can give up general Liu today, and you can give up Zhou Tong tomorrow. We are now capitulating for General Liu, and the governor of Zhou Mu will surely send someone to save us. As long as we and General Liu are alive, next time we will be shamed before the snow. "


    Zhou Tong sneered: "I''m afraid it''s not a shame before the snow, but a failure again."


    Jiang Xuan said, "Zhou Tong, you deceive people too much."


    Zhou Tong said: "you are too stupid. If I was captured, I would rather be killed without your help."


    Jiang Xuan said, "it''s easy to say."


    Zhou Tong''s eyes were cold. He looked at Fazheng and said, "I firmly don''t agree to surrender. Thirty thousand troops, we can''t abolish the public. For Liu Ruo''s sake, we will give up all our brothers. "


    Jiang Xuan said: "I don''t agree. If you want to give up general Liu''s life, you''ll have to pass me first."


    The rest of Liu Ruo''s subordinates also spoke one after another.


    For a time, the two sides quarreled constantly, but Zhou Tong was alone.


    FA Zheng looks at Zhou Tong in his eyes and praises him. But now he has to suppress Zhou Tong. Fazheng said: "now, let''s take a look at your decision. Those who support the surrender and rescue of General Liu Ruo, please come out."


    "Brush! Brush


    All of a sudden, one by one.


    There are only eleven generals in the big account. Now eight of them stand up.


    Most of them belong to Liu Ruo.


    Fazheng looked at Zhou Tong and the other two and asked, "are you all against it?"


    Zhou Tong said: "I am against rescuing Liu Ruo. It''s not appropriate to bury 30000 troops for Liu Ruo''s sake and put Zhou Mu into trouble and Yizhou into trouble."


    The other two shook their heads. One of them said, "I don''t express my opinion, neither support nor oppose."Another said, "me too."


    Zhou Tong thought that there were two other people who understood their pains. He didn''t expect that they were the grass on the wall. He snorted and looked contemptuous. Instead of looking at the other two, he just looked at Fazheng and waited for Fazheng to make a decision.


    At the moment, everyone''s eyes fall on Fazheng.


    If Liu Ruo is not in the military camp, Fazheng is the military adviser, and the military affairs are decided by Fazheng.


    Fazheng said, "I have decided to surrender to Liu Xiu."


    "Good!"


    Jiang Xuan looked at Fazheng with a grateful look on his face. The rest of the people who belonged to Liu Ruo were also very excited. If Liu Ruo is kept, there will always be a chance of recovery.


    Zhou Tong shook his head and said, "the upright is incompetent!" After a pause, Zhou Tong said: "I don''t care about the matter, French Army division. You can do whatever you want, and you don''t have to inform the general to leave. "


    FA Zheng looks at Zhou Tong leaving and reaches out his hand to persuade him. But he opens his mouth and sighs.


    This scene fell in the eyes of Jiang Xuan and others.


    Jiang Xuanquan said, "you don''t have to blame yourself, French strategist. This surrender is absolutely wise. First, if we surrender, General Liu Ruo''s life will be saved; second, Liu Xiu is very powerful, and it''s not easy for us to resist 30000 people fighting. Now we surrender, we don''t have to fight any more; third, if General Liu Ruo comes back, at least general Liu Ruo will hold up the situation. "


    After hearing this, Fazheng looked at the others and nodded their heads. He sneered in his heart that Liu Ruo was really a failure in life. These subordinates didn''t really want Liu Ruo to live, but used Liu Ruo to answer the blame.


    When this battle was defeated, it was Liu Ruo who had the largest rank of general in the army. The greater the official position, the greater the responsibility. Naturally, it is Liu Ruo who bears this responsibility.


    Fazheng waved his hand and said, "everyone, who would like to go to Liu Xiu''s barracks with me again and give Liu Xiu a reply?"


    Jiang Xuanlian said hastily: "the French military adviser, this matter, you go alone, we will not get involved. And next, Liu Xiu is going to take over us. I''m afraid he will take over all the weapons. Let''s prepare first. "


    The rest, too, agreed.


    Going to Liu Xiu''s barracks is risky. Everyone is not willing to take risks.


    Fazheng glanced at the crowd and said, "well, since you don''t want to go, I''ll go again. This time I promised to surrender. It won''t take long. So get ready as soon as you can. "


    "No!"


    Jiang Xuan and others were ordered to leave.


    Fazheng was looking at everyone''s back when they left. Suddenly, a smile rose from the corner of his mouth. He stood up and dusted his wrinkled clothes. With a flick of his sleeve, he left the camp and went to Liu Xiu''s barracks.

 Chapter 436

    Jingzhou army, camp.


    When Fazheng arrived, he met Liu Xiu first and said, "my Lord, I''m glad I didn''t disobey my orders. The generals of the Yizhou army have agreed to surrender and are collecting weapons. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "in this way, everything will go smoothly."


    Fazheng suddenly said, "if you think of something on your way here, you may have missed it."


    "What''s the matter?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Fazheng replied: "at that time, in order to let Liu Ruo ambush in Shili mountain, he told Liu Ruo that it was the message that Liu Zhang had planted in the dark pile in Wu County. If you wait for Liu Ruo to return to Chengdu, once Liu Zhang asks, I''m afraid he will help you. At that time, it will be difficult to explain the humble position clearly. "


    Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "what do you mean?"


    FA Zheng said coldly, "first imprison Liu Ruo temporarily, and then find a reason to kill Liu Ruo after Liu Zhang agrees to negotiate and agree to the terms. As long as Liu Ruo is dead, there is no proof of his death when he goes back. Then, the humble position can continue to lurk under the command of Liu Zhang. The most important thing is that if Liu Ruo dies, he will shoulder the greatest responsibility. "


    Liu xiudao: "yes, I will operate it."


    It is quite easy for Liu Xiu to kill Liu Ruo. Liu Ruo is arrogant, greedy for life and afraid of death. He doesn''t have the bearing of a famous general. It''s no good for him to come.


    Fazheng said: "in that case, the Lord can invite Liu Ruo out."


    Liu Xiu ordered: "come and take Liu Ruo."


    A moment later, Liu Ruo was brought up by the soldiers. He looked at Fazheng with a look of hope in his eyes and said, "how about the French army? What''s the situation? "


    Fazheng replied, "I have succeeded in persuading you to live up to the general''s expectations."


    "Good, good!"


    Liu Ruo''s eyes were excited, and the breath in his heart finally fell.


    At least, you don''t have to be killed.


    Liu Ruo looked at Liu Xiu and confirmed again: "Liu Jingzhou, the 30000 troops under my command are willing to surrender. Now, my life will not be affected. "


    Liu Xiu said, "for the time being, is that so?"


    "Ah


    Liu Ruo stares big eyes, inconceivable way: "why, why is this still temporary?"


    Liu xiudao: "because you are Liu Zhang''s soldiers, I have to send you back. Of course, this requires negotiation. If Liu Zhang doesn''t care about you, it''s hard to say. "


    "It''s impossible, the Lord can''t give up mine," said Liu Ruo


    Liu xiudao: "I hope so."


    Liu Xiu asked, "Liu Zhang, are you ready?"


    Liu Ruo said: "I''m ready. I''m willing to cooperate with Liu Jingzhou and control 30000 Yizhou troops."


    Liu Xiu stood up and said, "let''s go. We''ll go to Yizhou army camp with our general." Immediately, Liu Xiu took Liu Ruo and Fazheng with him, and then summoned the archers and soldiers to accompany him.


    The team left the camp and came to Yizhou military camp.


    Liu Zhang ordered: "all the soldiers listen, lay down their weapons and walk out of the camp one after another."


    After he gave the order, Fazheng went back to the camp to command, and 30000 Yizhou soldiers went out of the camp in batches. All the soldiers have laid down their weapons, unarmed, and then controlled.


    An hour later, 30000 Yizhou troops were completely controlled.


    The grain, equipment, horses and weapons of the Yizhou army were all taken over, and the generals of the Yizhou army, such as Liu Ruo, FA Zheng, Zhou Tong and Jiang Xuan, were all under control.


    Liu Xiu and all his subordinates took their seats in the grand account of the Chinese army.


    Liu Xiu looked happy in his eyes and said, "this battle has been won. The next step is mainly negotiation."


    Pang Tong asked, "who is the Lord going to send to Chengdu to deliver the message?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Huo Jun and said, "Huo Jun, how dare you go to Chengdu to send a message?"


    Huo Jun looked calm and said, "why don''t you dare? It''s just Chengdu. It''s not a tiger''s den. I''d like to go there. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "OK, I''ll let you go and ask Liu Zhang to send someone to negotiate."


    Huo Jun immediately got up and left the camp.


    Liu Xiu said, "wenpin!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Wenpin was ordered to salute.


    Liu xiudao: "the news of Liu Ruo''s total annihilation, go out for a walk immediately."


    "No!"


    Wenpin was ordered to go down to make arrangements.


    In just two days, the 30000 troops in Yizhou were completely destroyed, and Liu Ruo, FA Zheng, Zhou Tong and other major generals were captured. The news spread all over Jingzhou, boosting the morale of Jingzhou.


    When the news reached Nanyang County, Cao Ren and Xu Huang were shocked.


    Lost!


    Yizhou army just entered Jingzhou and lost. It''s too fast.


    Xinye County, county government.


    Cao Ren and Xu Huang sit opposite each other.In order to respond to the Yizhou army, they led the army down from Wan county and stationed in Xinye County, harassing Chaoyang County from time to time. However, the two did not fight on a large scale, maintaining a wait-and-see attitude.


    Cao Ren showed an incredible look in his eyes and said: "Gongming, at present, I don''t know what tactics Liu Xiu used to capture Liu Ruo and all the Yizhou army. But Yizhou army was defeated. You say, "what shall we do?"


    "There''s no choice but to withdraw," he said. Now it''s just us, alone. Under such circumstances, it is not cost-effective to fight with the Jingzhou army. "


    Cao Ren clenched his fist and scolded: "Liu Ruo is such a fool. How can he say that if he is defeated, he will be defeated?"


    Xu Huang said, "it''s no use drinking and scolding. Withdraw the troops, and then inform the Prime Minister of the news, and ask the prime minister to make a decision. "


    "Well!"


    Cao Ren nodded and ordered to withdraw.


    ¡­¡­


    Jiangdong, Yuzhang county.


    Barracks!


    Zhou Yu was in the Chinese army and had been waiting for news.


    Although Jiangdong married sun Shangxiang and made an alliance with Jingzhou, in essence, the two sides are still hostile. As long as there is a chance, Jiangdong will send troops to counterattack Jingzhou.


    Zhou Yu had a bright smile when Cao Jun and Yizhou Jun attacked Jingzhou.


    Liu Xiu is sure to show his flaws when the two armies attack each other, while Zhou Yu is waiting for his flaws.


    "Dudu, it''s not good."


    Suddenly, Cheng Pu''s voice came from outside the tent.


    Cheng Pu''s face was slightly anxious, and his pace was very fast. The wind came to the tent and reported: "governor Du, I just got the news of the battle between Yizhou army and Jingzhou army. The 30000 troops led by Liu Ruo in Yizhou were completely destroyed. Moreover, General Liu Ruo was also captured alive. After the defeat of Yizhou army, Cao army, who was about to move in Nanyang County, also retreated. "


    Brush!


    Zhou Yu''s face turned black immediately.


    Zhou Yu asked, "how did Liu Xiu win? Before he heard of the battle between the two sides, he lost?"


    Cheng Pu said: "I don''t know the specific information yet. At present, we only know that we have failed. The governor of Dadu, Yizhou army is defeated and Cao army is pushed away. I''m afraid we can''t send troops for the time being. "


    "Alas


    Zhou Yu sighed and said, "is it so difficult to counter attack Liu Xiu?"


    Seeing Liu Xiu''s crisis resolved, Zhou Yu was unwilling.


    Cheng Pu said: "for the time being, governor, Liu Xiu''s crisis has been resolved. But in fact, Liu Bei has a firm foothold in Jiaozhou. He and Liu Xiu are enemies of life and death. After all, Liu Xiu has Cao Cao in the back, Liu Zhang in the west, Liu Bei in the South and us in the East. As long as there is a chance and the four parties unite, Liu Xiu will be defeated. But at present, this opportunity is not mature. "


    When Zhou Yu heard the speech, he narrowed his eyes. His eyes were full of thinking.


    This is indeed the case.


    As long as the opportunity is mature, there must be a chance to attack Liu Xiu.


    Zhou Yu clenched his fist, then immediately loosened it, and said in a deep voice, "that''s what happened. Let Liu Xiu be arrogant for a while. Hum, when we find the opportunity, we''ll clean up Liu Xiu."

 Chapter 437

    Chengdu, the prefecture of animal husbandry.


    Huo Jun arrived at the door of the house and gave his name. The soldiers led him directly into the house.


    Before that, Huo Jun entered Chengdu and his whereabouts were under the control of Liu Zhang. As soon as Huo Jun entered the mansion and came to the hall, he saw Liu Zhanggao sitting at the top. On the left and right sides of the hall, there were civil and military officials from Yizhou.


    Huo Jun strides forward with calm eyes and no fear.


    When he reached the center of the hall, Huo Jun bowed his hand and said, "Huo Jun, envoy of Jingzhou, has met Liu Yizhou."


    Liu Zhang stares at Huo Jun with anger in his eyes.


    Before that, he got the news that Liu Ruo and Fazheng were defeated. He was very angry. He didn''t expect that his 30000 troops would be completely defeated. Especially the news from the front line made Liu Zhang angry. Liu Ruo was so isolated that he was captured. Then Liu Ruo ordered his soldiers to surrender, and all 30000 troops surrendered, which led to the defeat of the army.


    Liu Zhang said in a deep voice, "Huo Jun, what are you doing here?"


    Huo Jun smiles and says, "didn''t Liu Yizhou get any news before? I''m here to deliver the message. "


    "Is it the news of Liu Ruo''s defeat? If it''s the news, I already know it. Don''t worry about it. "


    Liu Zhang''s face was cold and his tone was cold.


    Huo Jun said: "the news of Liu Ruo''s defeat is well known all over the world. There is no need to repeat the news next time. I''m here for the captured 30000 Yizhou soldiers, and the message is related to these 30000 Yizhou soldiers. "


    Liu Zhang narrowed his eyes and said, "what is Liu Xiu going to do?"


    Huo Jun said in a deep voice: "before I came here, my lord once said that Liu Zhang in Yizhou was not benevolent, and Liu Xiu in Jingzhou could not be unjust."


    "Son of a bitch!"


    Without waiting for Huo Jun to go on, Liu Zhang interrupted directly.


    Huo Jun''s face was still calm, as if he didn''t feel the slightest pressure. He continued: "I''m just relaying my Lord''s words. Please let Liu Yizhou calm down. The LORD said that Liu Yizhou was not benevolent, and he also said the reason. "


    "First of all, they are not benevolent to the same clan. Liu Yizhou is the patriarch of the Han Dynasty, so is his Lord. However, Liu Yizhou and Cao thief united to attack the same clan, because they were not benevolent to the same clan. "


    "Second, be unkind to your allies. Liu Yizhou was in charge of Yizhou and Jingzhou was in charge of Jingzhou. Both sides were allies before, fighting against Cao thief. Now, Liu Yizhou''s unilateral tearing up the treaty and attacking Jingzhou is unfeeling to his allies. "


    "Third, being unkind to subordinates. Zhang Ren served for the Lord when Liu Yizhou removed Zhang Ren from office and made a choice when Zhang Ren had no official position. However, in the end, Liu Yizhou asked the Lord to hand over Zhang Ren and then deal with Zhang Ren. It''s for being unkind to your subordinates. "


    "Liu Yizhou is not benevolent, but the LORD said that this time he captured 30000 Yizhou soldiers, but he could not be unjust."


    Huo Jun said: "at the beginning, my Lord''s plan was to kill all the 30000 Yizhou soldiers, so as to frighten the curfew and avoid the idea of any cat and dog attacking Jingzhou."


    "In the end, the LORD said that after all, it was 30000 people who were killed, which would hurt Tianhe."


    "So they decided not to kill 30000 Yizhou soldiers. The two sides discussed and decided how to deal with the 30000 Yizhou soldiers."


    Huo Jun said with a light smile: "Liu Yizhou, the life and death of 30000 Yizhou soldiers are in your hands. It depends on how you choose. If you give up, it''s your responsibility to get 30000 soldiers on the ground. "


    As soon as the words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.


    All the officials looked at Liu Zhang and waited for his decision.


    Zhang song took the initiative and asked, "when and where does Liu Xiu choose to negotiate?"


    Huo Jun said: "the location is at the junction of Yufu county and Wu County. As long as Liu Yizhou arrives, the negotiation can be started at any time. The LORD said that Liu Yizhou must go in person. The Lord has been waiting in Wu County. It depends on whether Liu Yizhou dares to go. "


    When Liu Zhang heard the speech, there was a trace of fear in his heart.


    I''m afraid it''s dangerous to go from Chengdu to Yufu County for negotiation.


    Liu Zhang didn''t want to go.


    Liu Zhang said in a deep voice, "can''t I entrust one person to go


    Huo Jun shook his head and said: "it involves 30000 lives. Can Liu Yizhou send anyone to go? Besides, as the leader of Jingzhou, my lord talks with Liu Yizhou''s subordinates. Isn''t that a joke? "


    Zhang Song said, "my Lord, I think I should go. Thirty thousand lives, and Liu Ruo is in Liu Xiu''s hands. We can''t ignore him. "


    Li Yan then said: "Lord, I also agree with Zhang Biejia. I can''t ignore the death of 30000 soldiers."


    Pang Xi said: "Lord, I agree with you."


    Lingbao said: "Lord, if 30000 troops are lost, it will be a great loss for Yizhou. What''s more, Liu Xiu''s cunning is that he offered to negotiate peace. If the Lord refused, he would not care about the lives of the 30000 soldiers. Thirty thousand soldiers have involved countless people, who know that the Lord is likely to make trouble regardless of the life and death of the soldiers on the front line. In the end, it was the Lord who lost the hearts of the people. My Lord, Liu Xiu is very cunning. He forces you to go there. "Liu Zhang was in a state of confusion when officials began to persuade him.


    Liu Zhang''s eyes swept the people under his command one by one, with a helpless look in his eyes.


    Unexpectedly, he was kidnapped by his subordinates and had to go there. With everyone''s persuasion, he could not refuse and could only promise.


    Liu Zhang took a deep breath and said, "Huo Jun, go back and tell Liu Xiu that I will be there soon."


    Huo Jun said: "so, the Lord is waiting for Liu Yizhou in Wu County."


    "Goodbye!"


    Huo Jun arched his hand, turned and left the hall.


    Liu Zhang''s eyes fell on the people under his command, and said in a deep voice: "this time you go to Yufu County, Lingbao, you lead 3000 elite, escort."


    "No!"


    Ling Bao was ordered to hold his fist.


    Liu Zhang''s eyes fell on Li Yan and said, "Li Yan, go to Yufu county with me."


    "No!"


    Li Yan was very happy to go with Liu Zhang, which proved that Liu Zhang also valued him.


    Liu Zhang also said, "Zhang Song and Pang Xi listen to orders."


    "Yes


    Zhang Song and Pang Xi were ordered to stand up immediately.


    Liu Zhang said, "you two, stay in Chengdu and deal with Jingzhou''s affairs. Zhang song is the main one, Pang Xi is the auxiliary one. During the period when I am no longer in office, you are in charge of it. Do you understand? "


    Zhang Song said, "don''t worry, my Lord. I will live up to my Lord''s high expectations."


    Pang Xi also said: "humble duty, obey orders."


    Liu Zhang waved his hand and said, "let''s all go down. Tomorrow morning, we''ll leave for Yufu county."


    "No!"


    The crowd retreated, and the hall was soon empty.


    Liu Zhang got up and went to the back yard, but he was always gloomy and unhappy. This time, Liu Xiu put a head down on him. All his officials and generals unanimously demanded to go to the negotiation, which made Liu Zhang very uncomfortable.


    Coerced!


    This kind of thing happened to him.


    But, Liu Zhang also helpless, who let Liu Ruo so do not strive? Liu Zhang thought that after the negotiation, he must punish Liu Ruo severely and let him have a long memory.

 Chapter 438

    Jingzhou army, barracks.


    Liu Ruo was detained in the camp, but he was in a separate tent. Liu Xiu did not treat him badly. It''s just that while he''s in the camp, he''s always thinking about his own business.


    This battle, he lost!


    Now he surrendered to Liu Xiu, leading to the control of 30000 Yizhou troops by Liu Xiu.


    When Liu Zhang comes to negotiate, even if he is replaced, what about the days after he goes back? What Liu Ruo thought before was that Liu Zhang was short of generals, but what if Liu Zhang really got angry or wanted to kill him? Moreover, Liu Ruo saw clearly that Liu Zhang was definitely not Liu Xiu''s opponent.


    It''s better to take this opportunity to submit to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Ruo''s heart, the breeding of such ideas. After continuous thinking, Liu Ruo felt that he had already thought it over and thought it very clearly, so he made a decision.


    "Somebody


    Liu Ruo sat in the tent and yelled.


    Outside the camp, a soldier came in and asked, "what''s the matter?"


    The impatient tone made Liu Ruo feel uncomfortable. However, people in the eaves, had to bow, Liu said: "I have something important, I want to see Liu Jingzhou."


    The soldier said, "you wait. I''ll report it right away."


    The soldier turned around and left the camp to report. After a while, the soldier came to the camp and said, "come on, follow me to see the governor."


    After that, the soldier turned and left.


    Liu Ruo''s mouth twitched. Once upon a time, he was treated like this. Now a soldier stationed outside the tent dares to treat him like this. It''s really a declining world.


    Soon, Liu Ruo came to the camp.


    When Liu Ruo saw Liu Xiu, he arched his hand and said, "I''ve seen Liu Jingzhou."


    Liu xiudao: "Liu Ruo, what''s the matter?"


    For Liu Ruo, Liu Xiu was extremely contemptuous. Such a person who gave up 30000 soldiers for his own self-interest and could ignore the war was a disaster. Liu Xiu''s original intention was to keep Liu Ruo to harm Liu Zhang. Unfortunately, when Fazheng talked with Liu Ruo before, Fazheng didn''t think it over, so that after the negotiation, Liu Xiu had to kill Liu Ruo.


    Liu Ru said: "Liu Jingzhou, I''m willing to surrender. I sincerely ask Liu Jingzhou to accept me."


    Yeah!


    Liu Xiu was stunned after listening.


    Liu Ruo has been arrested for many days. Today, he suddenly proposed to surrender.


    Liu Xiu asked, "Liu Ruo, why did you suddenly think of obedience?"


    Liu ruolian said hastily, "Liu Jingzhou is a man of culture and military strategy. Even Cao Cao can defeat him and sweep the world. It''s just around the corner to revive the Han Dynasty. As the saying goes, "good birds choose trees to live in, and good officials choose their masters to do things. Liu Jingzhou is the master of Ming Dynasty. I should serve for Liu Jingzhou myself."


    Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "I am the master of Ming Dynasty, but are you a virtuous Minister?"


    "Er..."


    Liu Ruo was dumbfounded. For a moment, he didn''t know how to answer.


    A moment later, Liu Ruo responded and said, "although I''m stupid, I know how to March and fight. I can lead the troops. Therefore, I am willing to work for Liu Jingzhou. "


    Liu Xiu said, "but you look like a fool to me."


    Liu Ruo is more speechless and doesn''t know how to go on. Liu Ruo''s incompetence was hard for him to accept.


    At least, he is also the fourth general of Xichuan and a great general valued by Liu Zhang.


    Liu Xiu fixed his eyes on Liu Ruo, his eyes became sharp, and said: "four generals of Xichuan, I only appreciate Zhang Ren. As for you, Ling Bao and Deng Xian, in my opinion, they are all wine bags. You are not qualified to submit to me. Jingzhou officials never need stupid people, let alone arrogant people. "


    The cold words, as if the edge pierced into the heart of Liu Ruo, made Liu Ruo angry.


    Boundless anger grew in Liu Ruo''s heart.


    But the people in front of him, even Cao Cao''s 800000 troops, can be defeated. They really have the right to despise him. Even he and the other party are not at the same level.


    Liu Xiu waved and said, "come on


    Voice fell, a soldier quickly came in.


    The soldier saluted respectfully, only listening to Liu Xiu''s command: "wait for Liu Ruo to go down."


    "No!"


    The soldiers were ordered to take Liu Ruo out.


    "Lord, here comes Liu Zhang."


    Pang Tong''s voice came in from the outside.


    After hearing this, Liu Ruo trembled, and then left the camp under the leadership of the soldiers.


    Liu Xiu asked, "where are people?"


    Pang Tong replied: "we have passed Yufu county. Now we are coming to the junction of Yufu county and Wu County. Liu Zhang was accompanied by three thousand guards. According to the news, Li Yan came with Liu Zhang, and Zhang Song and Pang Xi stayed in Chengdu. "


    Speaking of this, Pang Tong said: "Lord, there is an opportunity now."


    "What chance." Liu Xiu asked.Pang Tong said: "Zhang song has already been the same as Fazheng and has been subordinated to the Lord. Today, he presided over the government affairs of Yizhou for Liu Zhang, while Pang Xi only assisted. As long as we let Zhang song do it, we can get Chengdu, or even enter Yizhou. "


    After thinking, Liu Xiu said, "it''s really easy to enter Yizhou if you have this opportunity. But how to keep it? At present, Jingzhou is also in a critical period. It needs to build up its strength, but it can''t pull out its troops at all. Once Yizhou is captured, the situation will need to be guarded. Will Cao Cao and Sun Quan watch? Certainly not, so for the time being, we can''t capture Yizhou. "


    "In fact, it''s not bad now."


    "Liu Zhang handed over the rear area to Liu Zhang and Pang Xi, so Liu Zhang could naturally put his own people in. If officials are put in, Yizhou will be eroded a little bit. "


    "For the time being, this is the most appropriate way," Liu said


    Pang Tong nodded and said, "it''s true. At present, there is only such a way. Unfortunately, a great opportunity can only be missed. "


    Liu Xiu said: "there are always opportunities. The pace is too big. Although we can achieve success in a short time, the foundation is not stable. It is a castle in the air. After this year, Jingzhou has accumulated grain for three to five years. The next step is to expand. Moreover, this negotiation with Liu Zhang is also an opportunity to accumulate food. "


    Pang Tong asked, "how much grain does the Lord intend to let Liu Zhang take out?"


    Liu Xiu put up three fingers and laughed.


    Pang Tong said, "I''m afraid Liu Zhang will suffer from this amount. Maybe he will refuse."


    Liu Xiu said: "if Liu Zhang refuses, he can''t afford the consequences. Liu Zhang will agree. With 30000 troops, he can''t give up. "


    Pang Tong talked about the next things and left.


    Sitting in the tent, Liu Xiu buried himself in reading.


    Half a day, in the evening.


    Liu Zhang''s army arrived, eight miles west of Liu Xiu. Three thousand soldiers were arrayed in the army for fear of being attacked by Liu Xiu. After Liu Xiu got the news, he ordered to pull out the camp and shorten the distance between the two army camps to four Li.


    Liu Zhang was frightened by the news. Liu Zhang originally intended to withdraw, but at the suggestion of Li Yan, he calmed down his worry and still camped in the same place.

 Chapter 439

    It''s sunny in May.


    On the broad official road, the two armies are arrayed.


    Liu Zhang''s 3000 soldiers, all dressed in armour and armed with weapons, lined up one by one. There were only 800 soldiers behind Liu Xiu, who were also in a strict array.


    In the center of the army, Liu Zhang and Liu Xiu sat on the ground four feet apart.


    Behind Liu Zhang, there is Ling Bao.


    Behind Liu Xiu stood Huang Hu.


    Liu Zhang looked at Liu Xiu and made a preemptive move. He said directly, "Liu Xiu, you and I were allies. Now, you have detained Liu Ruo and 30000 soldiers under my command. You have done something wrong."


    Liu xiudao: "Liu Yizhou, am I not really good at it?"


    Liu Zhang said, "it''s not authentic."


    Liu said: "since Liu Yizhou decided that we were allies as soon as he opened his mouth, why did Liu Yizhou directly send troops to attack Jingzhou? Is this still an ally? "


    Liu Zhang''s brow was slightly wrinkled, and his eyes showed a trace of fault.


    Liu Yidao continued to bully. When needed, Jingzhou is Liu Yizhou''s ally. When it''s not necessary, it can attack at will. However, I''m afraid this is not an ally relationship. Liu Yizhou, have you made a mistake? "


    Liu Zhang was speechless and didn''t know how to answer.


    At the beginning, he was trying to win the first place, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was pressed speechless.


    Liu Xiu said, "Liu Yizhou, if you don''t know what you''re doing this time, you can go back home. As for the captured Liu Ruo, Fazheng and 30000 troops, I will kill them all, and then say that you are not willing to save them. "


    Liu Zhang frowned and said, "Liu Xiu, I want to see Liu Ruo and FA Zheng first."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "it''s already ready."


    After that, Liu Xiu waved his hand and immediately soldiers escorted Liu Ruo and Fazheng to the front of the army. Both of them were controlled and stood in front of the army, but they could not talk to Liu Zhang.


    Liu Xiu asked: "Liu Yizhou, now I''m sure that I won''t cheat you."


    Liu Zhang said, "tell me, what conditions do you want before you are willing to release all those who are captured by you."


    Liu Xiu leaned forward slightly and said, "my condition is very simple. For these 30000 soldiers, one person will pay for ten stones of grain. 30000 people, a total of 300000 stone grain compensation. In addition, we need 10000 sets of armour, 10000 swords and 100000 bows and arrows. "


    "Hiss!"


    Liu Zhang took a cool breath, and his eyes were extremely shocked.


    This condition is like a lion''s mouth.


    Let''s just say 300000 tons of grain. It''s nearly ten million jin of grain. If we compensate so much grain, it''s almost equivalent to emptying the grain reserves of his granaries.


    There is no big war in Yizhou. It has been a bumper harvest year after year. There are countless grains stored in the granary. It is not difficult to produce 300000 stone grains. But after all, it was Liu Zhang''s property. If he took out 300000 stone grain, it would be like cutting meat from Liu Zhang.


    Not to mention, there are 10000 sets of armor, as well as steel knives and bows and arrows.


    These are weapons.


    Liu Zhang said, "Liu Xiu, your conditions are too harsh."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "are such conditions harsh? Maybe in your eyes, the lives of soldiers are just like weeds. You have 30000 soldiers captured by me. A soldier''s life is worth ten stone grain. This is the minimum. I didn''t expect you to be harsh. Not to mention, a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find. Liu Ruo is your general. Isn''t he worth money. The law is your counsellor. Isn''t it valuable


    After hearing this, Liu Zhang turned red and didn''t know how to refute.


    He had never met such an aggressive conversation before. Now Liu Xiu is so aggressive that he has no ability to parry.


    Liu Xiu added: "now you give up 30000 troops for food. Later, when you go to war again, do you want to give up your soldiers when you encounter such a thing?"


    Finally, Liu Xiu raised his voice again. The voice reached the ears of the soldiers behind Liu Zhang. Although the soldiers were expressionless, their eyes fell on Liu Zhang again.


    At this moment, Liu Zhang was roasted on the fire.


    Simple alienation!


    Liu Zhang felt that Liu Xiu''s words were too vicious.


    Liu Zhang took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said, "Liu Xiu, you don''t have to be like this. Your offer is too harsh for me to fulfill. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said: "listen to the tone of Liu Yizhou, it seems that he is willing to talk about the terms. Then you can tell me what kind of terms you offer to exchange for 30000 soldiers."


    When Liu Zhang heard the speech, he was silent again.


    What are the conditions?


    After thinking about it, Liu Zhang thought that Yizhou was rich in grain and there was no problem in giving it. However, battle armour, swords and bows and arrows were the weapons Yizhou needed. He said, "Liu Xiu, my official gave 300000 stone grain. As for swords, swords and bows and arrows, Yizhou was also short of them and could not give them."


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he began to laugh.Three hundred thousand stone grain, Liu Zhang this fool is really enough direct.


    In fact, the bottom line Liu Xiu set at the beginning was 300000 stone grain. With this batch of grain, will greatly alleviate the plight of Jingzhou grain.


    Liu Xiu said: "Liu Yizhou, 300000 stone grain is too little. At least, 100000 bows and arrows should be added. I don''t think it''s a big problem. "


    "Fifty thousand bows and arrows!"


    Liu Zhang cut off half of the price and made another counter-offer.


    Relatively speaking, the production cost of bows and arrows is much lower. 50000 bows and arrows are still within the bearing range.


    Liu Xiumian with a smile, said: "Liu Yizhou pleasant, I like. OK, it''s a deal. 300000 stone grain, 50000 bows and arrows. "


    "Come on, get the ink."


    Liu Xiu gave an order, and immediately a soldier came up with pen and ink.


    After thanking the contract, Liu Xiu took out the seal of zhoumu and sealed it. He said, "Liu Yizhou, come on, you can also seal the seal of yizhoumu and confirm the conditions just now. You give 300000 stone grain and 50000 bows and arrows, and I will release 30000 soldiers. "


    "Yes


    Liu Zhang nodded and sealed the contract.


    Liu Xiu took back the contract and said, "Liu Yizhou, I''m waiting for your good news. 300000 stone grain and 50000 bows and arrows. When are you going to deliver them? "


    Liu Zhang replied, "within two months, all of them will be sent to Nanjun."


    Liu xiudao: "in two months, I will release 30000 prisoners. Now, please go back to Liu Yizhou. We will publicize the contract for you. The people in Yizhou will be grateful to learn that Liu Yizhou loves soldiers like a son. "


    "You, you..."


    Liu Zhang''s eyes widened and his chest fluctuated.


    After Liu Xiu spread the news, it is true that these 30000 soldiers and their families will be grateful.


    However, such a result will make Yizhou officials disappointed with Liu Zhang, and even make Yizhou officials think that although Yizhou and Jingzhou are vast and powerful, they are still weaker than Jingzhou.


    Liu Zhang said: "Liu Jingzhou, some things, don''t do too much."


    Liu Xiu stood up and said, "what could be worse than Liu Yizhou''s sending troops to attack Jingzhou? Liu Yizhou, two months later, I will see grain and bow and arrow. If not, I will bear the consequences. "


    "Goodbye!"


    As soon as Liu Xiu brushed his sleeves, he left with Huang Hu.


    Liu Zhang fixed his eyes on Liu Xiu''s back, clenched his fist and clenched his steel teeth. He wanted to kill Liu Xiu immediately. However, he had nothing to do with Liu Xiu.


    "Let''s go back to Chengdu."


    Liu Zhang stood up, gave the order, and left with Ling Bao.


    Li Yan followed Liu Zhang this time. He was in the army from the beginning to the end. He didn''t get in the way and didn''t have a chance to play.

 Chapter 440

    After extorting Liu Zhang, Liu Xiu ordered wenpin to stay in Wuxian County temporarily, waiting for the arrival of grain and bow and arrow. Liu Xiu left with Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Huang Hu, and Sha Moke.


    Before leaving, Liu Xiu arranged everything.


    When Liu Xiu returned to Xiangyang County, it was near the end of May. At this time, the weather began to get hot.


    At the gate of the city, Liu Xiu and his party arrived.


    Back in Xiangyang, everyone was very happy.


    Liu Xiu looked at the people around him and said, "this time, I asked you to stay with me in Yufu County for half a year. Now that you''re back in Xiangyang, take a few days off before you start to deal with government affairs. "


    "Thank you, Lord."


    When they heard the words, their faces were full of joy.


    In this way, they can get together with their families.


    "Lord!"


    Suddenly, inside the gate, a cry came.


    A black figure, from far to near, came quickly. It was Deng Zhan, but not others. He galloped like a strong wind to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu asked, "Deng Zhan, what happened?"


    Deng Zhan''s tone is hasty way: "Lord, quick, quick, big madam is about to give birth."


    "Drive!"


    Liu Xiu no longer hesitated. With a whip, he immediately drove his horse to run first.


    Deng Zhanchao, Pang Tong, Jia Xu and others bowed their hands and said, "ladies and gentlemen, take the next step. Goodbye." Deng Zhan followed Liu Xiu and rushed to the prefecture.


    Liu Xiu hurried back to the prefecture and came to the backyard. At this time, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan had arrived in the backyard, waiting anxiously.


    "How''s it going?"


    Liu Xiu entered the yard and asked.


    "It''s more than a quarter of an hour, wait," Huang said


    "Ah


    Suddenly, Huang Yueying screamed in the room. Liu Xiu''s nerves tightened. He couldn''t help but want to go inside, but he was stopped and had to wait outside.


    After a long wait, Liu Xiu looked very anxious.


    On the forehead, sweat was pouring.


    He paced back and forth, looking at the room from time to time, hoping that the person in pain was him.


    Suddenly, the midwife''s voice came: "born, born."


    Immediately, I heard a burst of crying voice, which was loud and clear, but it came to Liu Xiu''s ears, but it seemed to be the most beautiful voice in the world, which made people intoxicated.


    Liu Xiu couldn''t help it any longer and rushed in directly.


    As soon as she entered the room, the midwife said, "Congratulations, congratulations. It''s a childe."


    Wailing is still lingering in my ears.


    Liu Xiu nodded and saw the midwife put the baby beside Huang Yueying. He also sat down beside Huang Yueying and said, "Yueying, it''s hard."


    Huang Yueying''s face, full of happiness, said: "third brother, I don''t work hard. The Liu family, finally, has a queen. "


    At this time, a lin''er was born, and Huang Yueying was finally relieved.


    Deep down in her heart, she also hopes to have a son.


    If today''s wish is fulfilled, it will be the best result.


    Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying talked for a while, and Huang Yueying fell asleep. Liu Xiu told people to take good care of Huang Yueying and her children, so he left the room.


    Huang Chengyan also learned that he was a son. He was very relieved and said, "Xiuer, how do you feel about being a father when you have children?"


    Liu xiudao: "OK!"


    It''s easy to say, but Liu Xiu''s heart has really changed.


    After getting married to Huang Yueying, he had concerns and loved people. Now that I have a son, I feel that I am really in this world, and my blood has been passed on.


    All this is so true.


    Lord pound said, "Hugh, have you considered the name of the child?"


    Liu Xiu said: "Yueying and I have thought about it before, but we are very careful about naming it. So, it''s up to the teacher and father-in-law. "


    "Well, well, I''ll take care of it."


    Huang Chengyan''s eyes sparkled with excitement.


    Pound Fair: "this matter, I will do my best."


    Huang Chengyan snorted and said, "Duke De, things are busy in lumen Academy. Why don''t you go to teach your students and come here to wander around? In my opinion, you are still busy with things over there. The name of the child has my own consideration as a grandfather. "


    "Fart!"


    Pound glared at him and refused to budge.


    Huang Chengyan said, "Mr. pound, you''re really insulting. Hum, I''m the grandfather of the child. It''s a matter of course to name him now. Who are you


    He said in a loud voice: "one day as a teacher, one day as a father. I''m the teacher of Xiuer, so I''m the father, so I''m the grandfather of the child. Isn''t it natural for me to name him? You know, when Xiuer got married, he offered me tea. ""Old man, you are shameless."


    Huang Chengyan''s eyes were wide open, but he rolled up his long sleeves and wanted to fight.


    Pound''s momentum was not weak at all, and he said: "you are shameless. I see you roll up your sleeve. Are you going to do it? It seems that you really feel guilty. If you don''t win, I''m going to do it. "


    Huang Chengyan said: "old man, are you afraid?"


    "Who is afraid of you?"


    Pound raised his eyebrows and looked contemptuous.


    Huang Chengyan a pair of murderous expression, said: "in this case, have the ability, you and I go out to fight, to determine the child''s name."


    "Just go, who''s afraid of you?"


    As soon as Pang Degong brushed his sleeves, he took the lead and went out.


    Huang Chengyan followed him and left quickly.


    Liu Xiu looked at the two elders walking out of the yard, with an incredible expression on his face. On weekdays, both Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong are gentle and modest, but today they have suddenly changed. It''s really amazing.


    Liu Xiu is too lazy to intervene. Naturally, these two old gentlemen will have a sense of propriety when they fight.


    Sure enough, less than half a quarter of an hour, the two came in smiling.


    However, Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong''s clothes are a little messy. Although their hair is arranged, their hair is still scattered. At first glance, they understand their hands, but they are harmless.


    Liu Xiu laughed in his heart and said, "father-in-law, teacher, are you all in the ditch?"


    Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong looked at each other and snorted.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said: "it seems that the father-in-law and the teacher still have not decided to choose a name. Since it''s so troublesome, let me consider it. Don''t bother the two elders."


    Huang Chengyan said: "who said we didn''t make a decision? Just now, when I was outside the yard, I had already discussed with Duke De to name with him."


    Mr. Pang then said, "yes, it''s settled. I''ll take the name with Huang Chengyan. So, don''t worry about names, Hugh


    The two people unified their caliber and changed their tone immediately.


    Liu Xiu said: "since this is the case, it''s up to my father-in-law and uncle to choose a name. Now that Yueying has given birth to her baby, it doesn''t matter. The teacher and her father-in-law will go down and have a rest. "


    "Well!"


    They nodded and left.


    Liu Xiu is sitting in the yard, with a smile on his face, reflecting the joy of being a new father.

 Chapter 441

    The name of Liu Xiu''s eldest son came back the next day, named Liu Zhen. Zhen word means good luck, peace and happiness. The decision that Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan discussed together is to hope Liu Zhen to be safe and auspicious.


    Liu Xiu thought the name was ok, so he decided to name the child Liu Zhen.


    Back in Xiangyang, time flies.


    One and a half months passed in a hurry.


    Previously, Wu County sent back the news that the grain in Yizhou had reached more than half, and Zhengyuan kept sending it back to Xiangyang. For Liu Xiu, the delivery of this batch of grain was like sending charcoal in the snow, easing the pressure brought by grain.


    In August, the child has been born for three months.


    Wu county also sent back news that 300000 stone grain had been delivered, and all bows and arrows had been delivered.


    Wenpin returned 30000 soldiers according to the previous plan, but also found a reason to kill Liu Ruo, leaving Fazheng with 30000 soldiers to leave.


    When Liu Ruo was killed, although Liu Zhang was angry, he finally swallowed his anger.


    After all, he also hated Liu Ruo.


    The war between Yizhou and Jingzhou eased down, and the crisis contacts in Jingzhou temporarily restored calm.


    On this day, Yi Ji and Kuai Liang came to the prefecture.


    Study!


    Take your seat.


    Kuai Liang had a strong smile in his eyes and said: "Lord, every county has reported the news, and now the grain is constantly transported to every granary. According to the statistics, after two years of harvest last year and this year, we need not worry about the lack of food for at least the next three years. Of course, if we expand our territory, we will say something else. "


    "Good!"


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, he was very happy.


    With food, we can solve our worries.


    If there was a shortage of food, Liu Xiugen did not dare to start the war, but now that it has been solved, it will be much easier.


    To start a war, Liu Xiu was not afraid at all.


    Kuai Liang continued: "Lord, before that, there was a steady stream of 300000 stone grain from Yizhou. This batch of grain has been sampled and checked. After being eaten by livestock, there is no abnormality and it can be used. "


    Liu xiudao: "then put it all in the warehouse."


    Yi Ji said: "Lord, there is one more thing that I don''t know whether to say or not."


    "But it doesn''t hurt to say that," Liu said


    Yiji zhengse said: "the Lord inherited the foundation of his ancestors. Liu Biao was Marquis Mu and Chengwu of Jingzhou. After the Lord inherited, he naturally inherited marquis. Now that the Lord has his eldest son, he should make a decision as soon as possible to reassure people. Although it''s a matter of the Lord''s family, when it comes to the Lord''s affairs, there is no family. So I dare to ask the Lord to consider setting up a son. In today''s world, the great world is fighting. The Lord is the overlord and the leader. It''s also reasonable to establish a son. "


    Liu xiudao: "I see. In a few days, I will specially call the officials under my command and announce this."


    Yi Ji said: "the Lord is wise."


    Kuai Liang changed his words and said, "is the Lord going to start the war?"


    Liu Xiu said, "I have this plan."


    Now that he has the foundation, Liu Xiu naturally doesn''t want to delay any more.


    Although the states were rebellious and the situation was turbulent before, the court could not hear any more voices against him after Cao Cao swept the officials of the court, and he quickly calmed down the situation of the States.


    Under such circumstances, if we delay a little longer, Cao Cao will recover a lot.


    So Liu Xiu can''t wait.


    Liu Xiu should seize the time, solve the threat of the south in the shortest time, and then go north to fight against Cao Cao.


    After a moment''s silence, Kuai Liang asked again, "is the Lord going to attack Jiangdong or Nanyang County?"


    Kuai Liang always had some resistance to the war. After all, the foundation of Jingzhou was not rich enough. If we can wait another year, Jingzhou will have the best foundation in terms of food, troops and population.


    Now that the war begins immediately, there is some tension.


    Liu Xiu said, "come here, please Pang Tong, Jia Xu and Huo Jun come to the study for discussion."


    "No!"


    The attendant outside the study answered, and immediately went to invite someone.


    After a short time, Pang Tong, Jia Xu and Huo Jun took their seats in the study.


    Liu Xiuse said: "please come here to discuss the next war. After this year''s bumper harvest and the 300000 stone grain provided by Yizhou, Jingzhou has the chance to start a war. "


    Pang Tong said, "is it my Lord''s plan to start a war soon?"


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu nodded, with an unquestionable look in his eyes. Time is very tight, he must do his best, otherwise he will attack Cao Cao. I don''t know that it will be the year of the monkey.


    Pang Tong asked, "what''s the problem now?"


    Liu Xiu said: "just talented son soft asked, we next, is to go north Nanyang County, or east out of Jiangdong, ask the next trend."Jia Xu took over and said, "I don''t think it''s right to go north to Nanyang County."


    "Why?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Jia Xu replied: "going north to Nanyang County means going to war with Cao Cao. Once you have passed Nanyang County, it will be the vast land in the north. Under such circumstances, the Lord has no horses. It must be a great problem to make progress. "


    "Although Cao Cao defeated Jingzhou before, he still won a great victory."


    "If the attack on Cao Cao is successful, then it''s all right. Once there is a deadlock, how can we get out of it? After the deadlock, will Sun Quan, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang sit by and ignore it? "


    Jia Xu said: "Jingzhou can''t stand under a dangerous wall. I think it''s not the right time to attack Cao Cao."


    Kuai Liang said: "well, now we have to attack Jiangdong."


    "No, don''t attack Jiangdong."


    Jia Xu shook his head and squinted.


    Kuai Liang asked, "military adviser, why?"


    Jia explained: "it''s well known that Jingzhou and Jiangdong have formed an alliance. If the Lord attacks Jiangdong first, he will be in great trouble. "


    "First, the Lord broke the covenant and attacked Jiangdong without authorization, which would give people a word of mouth and make people criticize him for not keeping his word. It will have a certain impact on the Lord''s reputation. It will also have a certain impact on the future Lord''s winning over other vassals. "


    "Second, sun Shangxiang, the second wife, is Sun Quan''s sister after all. When the Lord attacked Jiangdong, the second lady must have an idea in her heart. Even though he knew that Jingzhou and Jiangdong could not have been without fighting, there must be a knot in her heart. "


    "Third, Cao Cao knew that Jingzhou and Jiangdong had formed an alliance. Once the LORD was good at attacking Jiangdong, Cao Cao could use the name of the son of heaven to denounce the Lord for his treachery and let people in the world take responsibility for him."


    Jia Xu said slowly: "so attacking Jiangdong is not the right choice."


    The corner of Liu Xiu''s mouth rose, and there was a smile in his eyes.


    Jia Xu''s analysis has finally come to the point.


    Kuai Liang was good at government affairs, but he was a little weak in marching and fighting. He inquired: "Jia Junshi said it was not suitable to attack Cao Cao or Jiangdong. Then what should we do next? Did you attack Yizhou? You know, we have just eased the relationship with Yizhou. If we attack Yizhou now, I''m afraid it''s not appropriate. "


    Jia Xu shook his head and said, "no, we will not attack Yizhou. Because attacking Yizhou will not bring Jiangdong into the war. I think the next target to attack should be Liu Bei in Jiaozhou. "


    "Liu Bei?"


    After Kuai Liang and Yi Ji listened, their faces showed strange looks.


    Jiaozhou is a barren land with remote terrain. Liu Bei is just surviving in Jiaozhou. Let Liu Bei in Jiaozhou, just let him live and die.


    Isn''t it a waste of time to attack now?


    Jia Xu said: "Liu Bei is based in Jiaozhou. He has Zhuge Liang in literature, Chen Dao in martial arts, and Sun Quan in back. He has already occupied Jiaozhou. Liu Bei is bound to be a disaster if he lets himself go. The most important thing is to attack Jiaozhou, which will lead to Jiangdong Sun Quan. He can''t sit back and ignore it. Once Jiangdong started the war first, it can not be said that the Lord broke the covenant. "

 Chapter 442

    Jia Xu''s face was full of self-confidence and said: "Liu Bei lives in Jiaozhou. Although he is humble, he is a pawn that can move the whole situation. As long as Liu Bei couldn''t resist, he would ask Sun Quan for help. Sun Quan sent troops, and Jingzhou tore the skin. When the time comes, the Lord''s attack on Jiangdong will have a name, and he will be able to attack rightfully. "


    "Wonderful


    Kuai Liang stroked his beard under his jaw with admiration.


    Liu Xiu asked, "do you have any other opinions about where to send troops?"


    They all shook their heads and agreed with Jia Xu''s analysis.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu said, "if so, it''s settled. Next, we will start to make full preparations for the war, and we will have to get the food and equipment ready. "


    Kuai Liang said, "don''t worry, my Lord. I will do my best in my humble position."


    Yi Ji said: "I will live up to my Lord''s high expectations."


    They were leaders in government affairs and immediately set an example.


    Liu Xiu said: "in this attack on Jiaozhou, food and equipment will definitely need to be deployed. However, the troops will not be needed. I will directly transfer soldiers from Huang Zhong''s command. At the same time, I will add the barbarians of Feihu camp and shamoko."


    "To attack Liu Bei, I will go south myself."


    "Pang Tong, Jia Xu and Huo Jun were accompanied, while Huang Hu and Sha Moke led the army."


    Liu Xiugen didn''t think about it, so he decided to go with him.


    Pang Tong and Jia Xu nodded, and Huo Jun''s face couldn''t help showing an excited look. He has always been Pang Tong''s assistant, helping him to do things. Although his official position is not big, Huo Jun has always been highly valued, and Liu Xiu has brought him to every important meeting. Unconsciously, he has entered the core circle under Liu Xiu''s command.


    After the crowd dispersed, they prepared for each other.


    Huang Zhong said with a light smile: "according to the information sent back by the sentinel, Zhou Yu has been working hard, training constantly, and recruiting soldiers. Naturally, he wants to seek revenge. However, the fighting between Jingzhou and Jiangdong was temporarily suspended, and Zhou Yu did not dare to attack Jingzhou in a short time. "


    Liu xiudao: "when the battle of Jiaozhou begins, you should pay more attention to Zhou Yu''s movements. Maybe Zhou Yu will take advantage of the Jiaozhou war and send troops to take advantage of the fire. "


    Huang Zhong said: "Lord, don''t worry. I won''t let Zhou Yu move forward."


    Liu Xiu carefully inquired about the other conditions of the camp in you County, and when he understood the difficulties of the camp, he asked people to deal with them. However, Huang Zhong and Ma Liang are well matched. Both of them are devoted to government affairs, and the camp is running well.


    One night without words, the next morning.


    After the army left, Liu Xiu led 12000 soldiers and continued to go south to Lingling county.


    After entering Lingling County, it is close to Jiaozhou.


    Lingling county is the seat of Lingling county. The news that Liu Xiu entered Lingling county came that Lingling prefect Liu Du LED general Xing Daorong and his eldest son Liu Xian to greet him at the gate of the city.

 Chapter 443

    Although Liu Du is located in Lingling County, far away from Xiangyang, he knows the news of Xiangyang.


    Liu Xiu''s methods have long been deterred and dare not have two hearts. Liu Xiu easily defeated Cao Cao''s 800000 troops, not to mention the small Lingling county he ruled.


    Liu Du, Liu Xian, Xing Daorong and other officials wait quietly.


    Liu Xian said: "father, when Liu Xiu arrived in Lingling County, he didn''t know what kind of person he was."


    Liu Du said: "it''s said that it''s better to talk. At that time, you must cheer up and don''t annoy him. This is his first visit to Lingling county. "


    Liu Xian said, "my son understands."


    Xing Daorong stood aside, but there was a flash of light in his eyes.


    As a tiger general, Xing Daorong has an axe in his hand. He has great strength and courage. He has always heard that Liu Xiu had Huang Hu under his tent and killed the world''s heroes. Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could not defeat Huang Hu. Xing Daorong was not satisfied.


    It''s better to meet than to hear.


    "It''s coming, it''s coming."


    All of a sudden, one of the officials who met called out.


    Everyone''s eyes fell on the official road ahead. At this time, the dark army was marching, but they couldn''t really see it. As the distance gets closer, we can see clearly the situation in the front.


    At the front, a young man, surrounded by a group of soldiers, was majestic.


    When Liu Du saw it, he knew it was Liu Xiu.


    As for the rest of the people, Liu Du could not distinguish them clearly. He only needed to know Liu Xiu.


    Before long, Liu Xiu''s army was less than ten feet away from the gate of the city. Liu Du took the initiative to meet him. He came to the front of Liu Xiu''s horse and said, "I''ll meet you, Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling county."


    Liu Xiu said: "Liu Taishou has worked hard."


    Liu Du said: "humble job is not hard." After a pause, Liu Du said, "my Lord, I''ve already given a banquet in my house to help my lord clean up the dust. Please condescend to go."


    Liu Xiu nodded and ordered the army to camp outside the city.


    When the army set up camp, Liu Xiu took Huang Hu, Sha Moke, Pang Tong and a group of guards and followed Liu Du into the city.


    At the prefect''s residence, the guests and the host took their seats.


    Liu Xiu''s position was right above him, and the rest took their seats.


    Liu Du ordered people to prepare delicious food and wine. He took the lead in holding the wine bottle and said, "my Lord, I''m very lucky to have the honor to receive him this time through Lingling county. Here''s to my Lord. "


    Liu Xiu nodded, took the bottle and drank it. Then he said, "although this is my first visit to Lingling County, I also pay attention to the development of Lingling county. Lingling county over the years, is the least war, the people live and work in peace and contentment of a county. After I led my army from Changsha county to Lingling County, I saw a lot of prosperity along the way. It''s all thanks to Liu Taishou. "


    Liu Du said modestly, "my Lord, I have praised you falsely."


    With Liu Xiu''s affirmation, Liu Du''s heart was also quite happy, and his heart hanging in mid air was laid down.


    "At the end of Xingzhou, there will be a proposal from Mr. Daorong."


    Suddenly, Xing Daorong stands up.


    When Xing Daorong stood up, Liu Du''s face changed greatly. He scolded, "Xing Daorong, I''m still here." He was worried that his son would cause trouble, but Xing Daorong came forward.


    Before that, Xing Daorong said several times in front of him that if he went to the battle to kill the enemy, he would never be weaker than Huang Hu, or even achieve better results than Huang Hu. Unexpectedly, Xing Daorong has come forward now.


    Don''t think about it. Liu Du knows what Xing Daorong thinks.


    Xing Daorong said: "the end of the general is not trouble, adults do not have to be so."


    Liu Du''s face is gloomy and his eyes are burning with anger. He dotes on Xing Daorong and develops Xing Daorong''s arrogance. Unexpectedly, now Xing Daorong even contradicts him in public and makes him unable to come down.


    At the same time, Liu Du was angry and worried about Liu Xiu''s misunderstanding. He quickly got up, went to the hall, knelt down, and said, "my Lord, it''s the lower official who has no way to discipline. Please punish him."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes swept over Xing Daorong and fell on Liu Du.


    Looking at Liu Du''s expression, I really don''t know.


    Liu Xiu will not be big Liu Du, asked: "Xing Daorong, what do you want to say?"


    Xing Daorong held his head high and said: "at the end, I want to compete with General Huang Hu and try my own skills." He looked at Huang Hu with a defiant look in his eyes.


    Liu Xiu squinted, looked at Xing Daorong, then at Liu Du, confirming that the two were not collusive.


    In fact, they are not suspected of colluding to make trouble together.


    Liu Xiu, as a herdsman in Jingzhou, is in charge of Jingzhou. Liu Du can''t be against Liu Xiu at all. Liu Xiu said in a deep voice, "Xing Daorong, do you know the consequences of challenging Huang Hu?"


    Xing Daorong said: "as a military general, he will be happy to see the end of the game. He will be the first World War, regardless of the consequences."


    "What a reckless one."In Liu Xiu''s eyes, there was a light.


    This Xing Daorong has a bit of courage, very good.


    Huang Hu couldn''t be excited. He stepped forward and said, "Lord, please allow the last general to fight with Xing Daorong." He looked at Xing Daorong with a strong sense of war in his eyes.


    As a general, if the other side provocation, he did not even have the courage to fight, it is too humiliating.


    Liu xiudao: "in that case, I''ll fight with my bare hands in the big tent."


    Xing Daorong shook his head and said again: "Mr. Zhou mu, you will be the general in the battlefield. If you just fight, it''s hard to distinguish between the superior and the inferior. To fight is to fight with weapons. "


    Liu Xiu''s mouth is full of smile. Xing Daorong challenges Huang Hu with weapons. This is really interesting.


    Huang Hu''s golden hammer is just fierce and overbearing, which is hard to resist. Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can''t resist it. It''s really interesting that Xing Daorong wants to fight with Huang Hu with weapons.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Hu and asked, "Huang Hu, what do you think?"


    Huang Hu said, "Lord, I will make him perfect."


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "in that case, they went out of the hall and fought with weapons outside."


    With Liu Xiu''s consent, everyone was intrigued.


    All the people came out of the hall and stood at the door of the hall, looking at the two tiger generals with their weapons standing opposite each other. Huang Hu has a golden hammer in his left and right hands, and Xing Daorong has a mountain axe in his hand.


    The two stood three feet apart.


    Liu Du stood beside Liu Xiu and said, "my Lord, Xing Daorong is arrogant. Please don''t have the same opinion with him. Before that, he was also proud of his martial arts, but Xing Daorong was not bad minded and had some ability. "


    Liu xiudao: "don''t worry, Liu Taishou. I still have this measure."


    Liu Du nodded, still nervous. In his heart, he regretted so much that he had a good fight, but now he suddenly became like this. All this was caused by Xing Daorong.


    But now, Liu Du has nothing to do, the situation has long been out of his control.


    At this time, the two men holding weapons outside the hall were full of war.


    Huang Hu beat drum urn gold hammer, said: "hand it."


    Xing Daorong was quite proud. His mountain axe passed in the air and said, "it''s a guest. In Lingling County, I''ll let you do it first."


    "Ha, it''s too much for me. I''ll think about it in the future. How good are you?"


    Huang Hu''s eyes narrowed, showing a trace of coldness.


    At the moment, Huang Hu''s heart, has been unable to restrain the show of anger. He wanted to see how arrogant Xing Daorong was.

 Chapter 444

    "Look


    Huang Hu stamped at his feet, dragged the golden hammer of the drum jar, and rushed directly to Xing Daorong.


    In a flash, Huang Hu was less than one battle away from Xing Daorong.


    "Cape hammer, kill!"


    The golden hammer of the drum jar in Huang Hu''s hand was raised in the air. His right hand grasped the handle of the hammer and smashed it down.


    "Hoo


    Whistling, breaking the air.


    Xing Daorong''s face remained unchanged, his legs spread apart, and he roared: "carving insects." He held the iron handle of the axe in both hands, and with one move, the overlord raised the cauldron and directly raised the axe to meet him.


    "Dang!"


    Weapons collide, suddenly burst out a harsh sound.


    "Kick! Kick


    Xing Daorong even stepped back two steps, stabilized his figure, but his hand holding the iron handle trembled gently.


    Huang Hu, on the other hand, did not move.


    Huang Hu grinned and said, "I can bear a hammer, but I still have some skills. Take my second hammer."


    "Meteor hammer, kill!"


    Huang Hu''s golden hammer of beating drum and urn passed in the air. In a twinkling of an eye, it was in front of Xing Daorong. The gold hammer of the drum jar was very fast, just like a meteor, and it was in front of Xing Daorong in an instant.


    "Chop the mountain with one axe."


    Xing Daorong roared. He swung his axe and swept out.


    "Whew!"


    The blade of the axe cuts through the air and makes a sound of explosion.


    "Dang!"


    In a flash, the weapons collided again.


    This time, Xing Daorong stepped back three steps in a row to stabilize himself. He was not only numb in both hands, but also full of Qi and blood. He was almost defeated by a hammer.


    Xing Daorong was directly downwind in two consecutive matches.


    This scene shocked Liu Du, Liu Xian and officials of Lingling county.


    Xing Daorong claims to be brave and the first expert in Lingling county. But in the face of Huang Hu''s attack, he doesn''t even have the strength to fight back. The gap is too big.


    Liu Xiu shook his head in his eyes.


    Xing Daorong''s martial arts is pretty good, but compared with Huang Hu, it''s not a bit worse. Even in Liu Xiu''s view, although Xing Daorong has good strength, even compared with shamoko, it is difficult to defeat shamoko.


    Huang Hu swung the golden hammer from the drum jar and said, "Xing Daorong, take my third hammer. My third hammer has totally different strength from the first two. Have you considered it? Do you really want to fight again? "


    Xingdaorong steel teeth bite, way: "war!"


    "Then be careful."


    Huang Hu clenched the golden hammer of the drum jar in his hand, stepped back a little, and concentrated on the move.


    Xing Daorong said, "please!"


    At the moment, Xing Daorong clenched his axe and was ready to start.


    "Taishan hammer, kill!"


    With a low roar, Huang Hu rushed up with a golden hammer.


    "Two axes open the sky."


    Xing Daorong also roared, swung his mountain axe and rushed up against Huang Hu''s mountain axe.


    The two completely abandoned their skills and fought for strength, which was a direct contest of strength.


    The two men''s weapons collided in a flash.


    "Boom!"


    The golden hammer of the drum jar and the mountain axe collided with each other, making a tremendous noise.


    "Ah


    Scream, suddenly sounded.


    With the sound spread, Xing Daorong''s axe was not flying out, spitting blood, directly fell on the ground, dispirited.


    Huang Hu is still standing, not affected, said: "you, or not."


    "Cough! Cough


    Xing Daorong coughed up blood again, but he was in low spirits.


    He was not only shocked to vomit blood, but also holding the axe''s hands, the tiger''s mouth was cracked, and the whole hand was dripping with blood.


    "I''m defeated!"


    Xing Daorong''s face was as pale as ashes, and finally he had no more fighting thoughts.


    Three hammers in a row, each one stronger.


    After three moves, he was completely defeated.


    Xing Daorong once thought that his martial arts were the best in the world, but now he thinks that he is in the sky and belittles the people in the world.


    Liu Xiu said, "general Xing is highly rewarded. Let''s arrange for someone to treat him."


    "No!"


    Liu Du immediately called someone and told them to take Xing Daorong down.


    They went to the hall again.


    When Liu Du returned to the hall, he felt happy. Although Liu Du has always valued Xing Daorong, he is very rebellious and difficult to deal with. Now he has been cleaned up by Huang Hu. He can also do things steadfastly.


    Without Xing Daorong, the public continued to hold a banquet.


    Liu Xiu intended to win over and appease the officials of Lingling County, and the officials of Lingling county also intended to please Liu Xiu. The two sides had a good conversation, and the atmosphere was very warm. It can be said that the guests and the hosts enjoyed themselves.After the banquet, the officials dispersed.


    In the hall, only Liu Du and his son and Liu Xiu were left.


    Liu Xiu said, "I have a request from you. I hope you will agree to it."


    Liu Du said without hesitation: "if there is anything wrong with the Lord, the arrangement is that the lower officials will fully cooperate."


    Liu xiudao said: "Xing Daorong failed to challenge Huang Hu. Although he was defeated, he was still proud even though he was defeated. In Huang Hu''s acceptance, there are not many people who can take the three hammers in a dignified way. He suffered three blows. Although he was seriously injured, he didn''t hurt his muscles and bones. Although he is rebellious, he is also a tiger general. So, I hope he can be transferred to my army. What do you think? "


    Liu Du is also reluctant to give up. After all, Xing Daorong is a tiger general under his command.


    With Xing Daorong in mind, Liu Du is steadfast.


    However, Liu Xiu made a request, and Liu Du naturally did not dare to raise any objection. He just said, "Xing Daorong is a martial arts man. He learned martial arts and went to battle to kill the enemy. He really followed the Lord to make contributions. It''s a waste of talent to keep him in Lingling county. The Lord needs Xing Daorong. Let him follow him. "


    Liu Xiu said: "in this way, I would like to thank the prefect Liu."


    As soon as the words changed, Liu xiudao said, "I''m going to see Xing Daorong''s injury."


    Liu Du said, "I''ll arrange it."


    Immediately, Liu Du arranged for soldiers to take Liu Xiu, Huang Hu and Sha Moke to the courtyard of his family. Xing Daorong was seriously injured and was temporarily recovering in the yard.


    Entering the courtyard, Liu Xiu brings Huang Hu and shamoko to the house.


    When Xing Daorong saw the visitor, he said, "Mr. Zhou mu, I will be hurt. I''m sorry I can''t get up to meet you."


    "Not necessarily!"


    Liu Xiu smiles with a kind tone.


    Xing Daorong took a look at Huang Hu. Without any arrogance, he said slowly: "Mr. Zhou mu, I will challenge General Huang beyond my ability. Please forgive me."


    Liu Xiu said, "if you are brave, what can you do beyond your capacity? But you dare to challenge Huang Hu. You have courage. I appreciate this very much. "


    Xing Daorong said, "the governor of Zhou Mu is wrong."


    After Liu Xiu and Xing Daorong talked a few words about their families, they stopped beating around the Bush and said straight to the point, "general Xing, would you like to be transferred to Jingzhou and be a general under my command?"


    Xing Daorong said: "Mr. Zhou Mu looks up to the general, and he is willing to. If you can follow the governor of Zhou, you will be able to make contributions. However, it was Liu Taishou who promoted the final general. He was very kind to the final general. We have to tell the prefect Liu about this first. So, at the end of the day, I will first ask Liu Taishou for instructions, and then inform Zhou mu of my decision. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "before I came here, I had asked Liu Du''s advice. He agreed that you would be a general under my command."


    Xing Daorong was overjoyed and said, "really?"


    Liu xiudao: "nature is true."


    Huang Hu interjected: "although your martial arts are a little poor, it''s OK to practice more."


    Xing Daorong said, "I''m afraid I can''t catch up with General Huang in my life." After a pause, Xing Daorong looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Zhou mu, I''m seriously injured now. I''m afraid I can''t move in a day or two. I''m afraid I can''t use force in a month or two. At this time, will you not be able to do your best to serve governor Zhou mu? "


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s OK, you can heal first. It''s not too late to go to battle to kill the enemy after the injury is healed. "


    Xing Daorong nodded and said, "thank you, Mr. Zhou mu."


    After Liu Xiu arranged, he left the prefecture with Huang Hu and Sha Moke. Liu Xiu has arranged for Xing Daorong to stay in Lingling county when the army pulls out early tomorrow morning.


    After Xing Daorong recovered, it was not too late to go south to catch up with Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 445

    Jiaozhou, Cangwu county.


    Guangxin County!


    Guangxin, as the seat of Cangwu County, is the most prosperous place in Cangwu county.


    After Liu Bei arrived at Nanhai county and captured Cangwu County, his army was stationed in Guangxin county. On the one hand, Cangwu county is located in the center of Jiaozhou, adjacent to Nanhai County in the East, Hepu County in the south, Yulin County in the West and Lingling County in the north. It can be said that Cangwu county is the center of Jiaozhou.


    After the battle in Cangwu County, Liu Bei established himself in Guangxin county.


    In particular, Liu Bei had a foothold in Guangxin County, first defeated Shi Xie, the governor of Cangwu county. Then, in a short time, he convinced Shi Xie to give up his official position and was willing to work for Liu Bei.


    With the help of the scholars, Liu Bei''s power suddenly increased again. Even with the help of the scholars, he really controlled all the counties in Jiaozhou. At least Yulin County, Hepu County and Nanhai county were under Liu Bei''s control.


    Therefore, Liu Bei was appointed governor of Jiaozhou and took charge of Jiaozhou.


    Prefecture, hall!


    Liu Bei sat on the top with a serious face.


    Below, Zhuge Liang, Chen Dao, Shi Xie, Shi Yi and others are seated.


    Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "gentlemen, I just got the news that Liu Xiu has dispatched troops from Changsha county to Lingling county. Soon, he will lead the army to Cangwu county. What do you think of Liu Xiu''s crime? "


    Chen said: "Lord, Liu Xiu took the initiative to invade. He was looking for his own way to die, and sending troops to fight."


    As a person who has been following Liu Bei all the time, although Liu Xiu has made great achievements in war and has a terrible momentum, he and Liu Xiu have long been enemies. No matter how strong Liu Xiu is, he will kill Liu Xiu.


    However, the local officials of Shi Xie and Cangwu county were different.


    There was worry in Shi Xie''s eyes. He stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "Uncle Huang, Liu Xiubing is strong and strong. He can fight against Cao''s 800000 army with his own strength. Now Liu Xiu is going south, I''m afraid it''s hard to resist. "


    In the past, Liu Xiu fought against Cao Cao''s 800000 troops with tens of thousands of troops, and finally won a complete victory.


    When the news reached Jiaozhou, Shi Xie was also extremely shocked.


    Liu Xiu has long been in awe of him.


    Shi Yi then said, "Liu Xiu is a powerful man, not an easy one. I don''t know. What''s the strategist''s plan? "


    The rest of the officials also stare at Zhuge Liang and wait for his reply.


    Zhuge Liang gently shook the feather fan and said slowly, "you guys, you think too much of Liu Xiu. In my opinion, Liu Xiu will surely die as much as he comes to Jiaozhou this time. "


    "Why?"


    Shi Xie narrowed his eyes, and there was a light in his eyes.


    Shi Xie knows the talent of Zhuge Liang.


    At the beginning, Liu Bei''s defeat of the Shi family''s army depended entirely on Zhuge Liang''s plan.


    Zhuge Liang said: "although Liu Xiu sent spies to Jiaozhou to investigate the situation, only when he really entered Jiaozhou would he be aware of the topography and the bad climate of Jiaozhou. When the army under his command entered Jiaozhou, the first enemy he faced was the miasma of Jiaozhou. At this time, it is the turn of summer and autumn, the weather is muggy, the clear air rises, and the turbid air drops. Once Jiaozhou soldiers enter Cangwu County, they will inevitably encounter malaria. This is his Achilles'' heel. "


    Shi Xie said, "what if Liu Xiu gets through this? What should we do next? "


    Zhuge Liang was still in no hurry and said, "even if Liu Xiu survived the miasma of Jiaozhou and adapted to the weather. But at that time, did Liu Xiu''s army still have fighting capacity? We can beat Liu Xiu at one stroke by waving our troops and waiting for work. Just as Liu Xiu defeated Cao Cao at the beginning, he took advantage of Cao Cao''s unaccustomed climate and geographical environment in the south, and then directly destroyed Cao Cao''s army. Now that Liu Xiu is in Jiaozhou, the same is true. "


    Shi Xie nodded and stopped talking.


    Although Zhuge Liang''s analysis is reasonable, the display is changeable, and Liu Xiu is not made of clay.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, outside the hall, a soldier quickly ran in.


    The soldiers knelt down in the hall and reported: "Mr. Qi, I just got the news that Liu Xiu led more than 10000 soldiers from Lingling county to Lipu County. Now, we are heading for Lipu County. "


    "I see!"


    Liu Bei waved his hand and the soldiers backed down.


    Liu Bei asked: "military strategist, Liu Xiu has moved his troops into Cangwu county. How can he fight back?"


    Lipu County, located in the north of Cangwu County, borders Lingling county.


    Now Liu Xiu has entered Lipu County at a high speed. Liu Bei was shocked by the result.


    Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Lord, if Liu Xiufa''s troops are more than 50000, I will have a little worry. But now, Liu Xiu only led 10000 troops to kill. Ha, it''s arrogant. "


    Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang looked at the others and asked, "Zhugong, Liu Xiu has ten thousand people. Are you afraid to fight?"


    Chen Dao said: "military strategist, if ten thousand Liu Xiu enter Cangwu County, they will surely be defeated. The general is willing to lead his army to meet the enemy. "Shi Yi suddenly stood up and said: "Lord, I''m willing to lead the army to fight."


    If Liu Xiu led thirty or fifty thousand troops, Shi Yi would play drums and worry. But now, Shi Yi is not afraid at all. Especially when he thought that after he defeated Liu Xiu, he would be famous in Jiaozhou. Even when Jingzhou heard his name, he would feel afraid. This is walking up on Liu Xiu''s body.


    Zhuge Liang took a look at Shiyi, but turned his eyes to Liu Bei and said, "Lord, General Chen Dao and Shiyi are asking for a fight, but I think Shiyi is more suitable to lead the army."


    "First, general Shiyi is from Cangwu county and is familiar with the topography of Cangwu county. If you lead the troops to Lipu County, you can fight Liu Xiu more flexibly. "


    "Second, as the Lord''s guard, Chen Dao can''t leave without permission."


    "Third, Shiyi general is a general. He is good at marching and fighting. In the past, I commanded the army to fight with general Shiyi. If I didn''t keep one more hand, I would be the one who lost. I believe in the ability of general Shiyi to unify the army. "


    Zhuge Liang said, "my Lord, I''m finished with my humble words."


    Shi Yi was overjoyed.


    In this battle, it was his turn to show his skill.


    Chen Dao''s face was expressionless, and his face was not sad or happy. He was not angry at Zhuge Liang''s words.


    Liu Bei''s eyes fell on Shi Yi and said, "Shi Yi, I will give you 10000 troops. Are you sure you can defeat Liu Xiu?"


    Shi Yi said, "I will win!"


    In the territory of Cangwu County, he had the advantage of good timing, good location, and good people. He had 10000 troops, which was enough to deal with Liu Xiu. In this battle, Shi Yi is full of confidence.


    After the meeting, Shi Yi and Shi Xie went back to Shi''s home.


    Study, two people sit opposite each other.


    "Second brother, what''s the matter with you today? Don''t you know Liu Xiu''s strength? You really think it''s easy when Zhuge Liang says it so easily. "


    For Shi Yi''s active request to fight, Shi Xie is very angry.


    Only in Liu Bei''s residence, he can''t stop him.


    Shi Yi looked excited and said: "brother, I think the analysis of the military division is reasonable. When Liu Xiu arrives in Cangwu County, he will not be acclimatized. This battle is specially for me to win. "


    Shi Xie snorted: "stupid!"


    Shi Yi said: "brother, why don''t you believe me?"


    Shi Xie said in a deep voice: "you would rather believe Zhuge Liang than Lao Fu. How can I believe you. Liu Xiu fought in all directions and won in succession, never failing. When he marched and fought, he always planned before he moved. Do you think Liu Xiuhui was unprepared for this war and would not consider the factors of good weather and geographical environment? "


    Shiyi said: "brother, you think Liu Xiu too much. Don''t worry, I will be careful in this war. "


    "Alas..."


    Shi Xie sighed and was quite helpless to Shi Yi''s stubbornness.


    Shiyi said: "brother, you wait for my good news. I''m going to deploy now. Today, I will send troops to Lipu County to stop Liu Xiu. "


    Shi Xie said, "be careful on the road and pay attention to safety."


    "I see."


    Shi Yi didn''t pay attention to Shi Xie''s words, and left in a hurry. Then he went to the barracks to dispatch soldiers, led the army to leave Guangxin County, and went straight to Lipu County to kill.

 Chapter 446

    Lipu County is located in the north of Cangwu county.


    Liu Xiu led ten thousand troops, not in a hurry.


    Entering the boundary of Cangwu County, Liu Xiu''s marching speed slowed down. The more unavoidable it is, the hotter it is, and the worse the geographical environment is.


    Fortunately, Liu Xiu had already made preparations. At the same time, drinking water for soldiers in the army is strictly prohibited. Only when it is boiled can it be used. He must not eat mountain springs in the forest.


    In addition, Liu Xiu marched in the daytime. In the evening, he found an open place to settle down, never near the mountains.


    In terms of diet, clothing and housing, Liu Xiu was careful.


    After the army arrived in Lipu County, it easily captured Lipu County without any effort. After resupply, Liu Xiu left a part of the soldiers stationed and led the troops to continue to go south.


    From the south of Lipu County, you can go directly to Guangxin county.


    After half a day''s rest, the army went to camp.


    In the big account, Liu Xiu, Pang Tong and Jia Xu were discussing the way of the war.


    "Newspaper!"


    Outside the camp, the voice of the soldiers sounded.


    "Come in!"


    Liu xiuphen said.


    The curtain of the battalion commander''s door rolled up, the soldiers came in, knelt down on one knee and reported: "my Lord, I just got the news. Liu Bei has sent out an army, led by Shi Yi, and ten thousand people are coming to kill us. It is expected that we will meet in three days


    "Three days!"


    Liu Xiu thought for a while, and his eyes were full of meditation.


    Waving his hand to order the soldiers to step down, Liu Xiu asked, "Shi Yuan, Wen he, what do you think?"


    Pang Tong said: "Lord, I have an idea for Shiyi."


    "What do you think?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Pang Tong said: "Shi Yi used to be the younger brother of Shi Xie who controlled Jiaozhou. However, this person is also quite brave, but some conceited. In this battle, we might as well show weakness, induce the other party to attack, and then defeat Shi Yi at one stroke. Specific operation, we can do this, do this... "


    A complete plan, described by Pang Tong, was completed quickly.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Shiyuan''s brilliant plan, Shiyi will surely fall into the trap. Moreover, this is the situation of Jiaozhou in itself, and it is reasonable for us to have this situation when we arrive. "


    Jia Xu said: "if there is another possibility?"


    Liu Xiu asked, "what''s possible?"


    Pang Tong''s eyes also showed a look of curiosity. He guessed which aspect Jia Xu was thinking about?


    Jia Xu replied: "the mantis catches the cicada, the Yellow sparrow is behind."


    In a word, Pang Tong''s face changed slightly and said, "yes, I really missed it. If I can use a stratagem, Zhuge Liang will certainly use the same stratagem. This time, I''m a calculating man. Zhuge Liang is likely to be calculating me. "


    Pang Tong asked, "what''s Wenhe Gong Gong''s suggestion?"


    Jia Xu said with a smile, "it''s very simple. We can take the initiative to withdraw our troops and then send them out."


    "I see!"


    Pang Tong''s eyes were full of excitement.


    As for Jia Xu''s stratagem, he understood it after a little thought.


    Zhuge Liang is so resourceful that he can''t arrange a situation without a way out. Even Zhuge Liang may just ask Shi Yi to test it, and then decide whether to attack or not.


    Liu Xiu also understood and said with a smile, "now that we have made a plan, we will implement it immediately. Wen he and Shi Yuan, you two are in charge and make arrangements immediately. "


    "No!"


    When Pang Tong and Jia Xu got the order, they began to adjust the army.


    In the army, it soon came out that some soldiers were infected with miasma and had been isolated.


    News, spread around.


    When Shi Yi got the news, he couldn''t help laughing and said, "the military strategist really expected what Liu Xiu was going to do."


    However, there is doubt in Shiyi''s heart.


    On the first night, the soldiers sent by Shi Yi came back.


    The soldier reported: "general, we bypassed Liu Xiu''s army and went to the camp behind him. It was discovered that the temporary earth mound cooking utensils used by Liu Xiu''s soldiers were one tenth less than those used in the beginning. "


    "Explore again!"


    Shi Yi was happy and sent soldiers out again to inquire about the news.


    To be sure, Zhuge Liang said that Liu Xiu''s soldiers would fall into miasma, but Shi Yi couldn''t make sure whether the information was correct, so Shi Yi specially sent soldiers to check the cooking utensils used by Liu Xiu Xing''s army.


    The next day, the army continued on its way.


    At night, the soldiers came to Shiyi''s camp again.


    The soldier reported: "general, the fire stoves in Jingzhou have been reduced by about one tenth. What''s more, according to the information, many of Liu Xiu''s soldiers are ill and are now in solitary custody. "


    "Good, good, good!"


    Shi Yi looks excited. For two days in a row, he confirms that Liu Xiu''s army has been attacked by miasma. He is very happy.Liu Xiu will be defeated in this war.


    Shi Yi ordered the army to March quickly to shorten the distance with Liu Xiu''s army.


    Liu Xiu''s army has been continuously attacked by diseases. Now it must be demoralized, and the soldiers in the army lack combat effectiveness. At this time, he led the army to attack, and the first world war could solve Liu Xiu''s army.


    The two sides were facing each other. By the end of the morning of the third day, the distance between the two sides was less than 10 kilometers.


    Liu Xiu temporarily ordered the army to stop and recuperate, and called Jia Xu and Pang Tong to discuss the matter. Liu Xiu said, "it''s only ten kilometers away. The battle is coming. Do you have anything else to add?"


    Pang Tong said: "Lord, everything is ready. There is nothing to add."


    Jia Xu said: "we will win this battle. Of course, it depends on whether Zhuge Liang is successful. "


    Liu Xiu saw that neither of them had anything to add, and he felt at ease. After a quarter of an hour''s rest, Liu Xiu ordered him to move on. At noon, the two armies met.


    The meeting place is an open area.


    As the two armies confront each other, Liu Xiu drives his horse to the front of the army, and his eyes fall on each other''s big flag. This big flag is embroidered with the word "Shi". The general of the big flag, wearing a bright silver armor, holding a big gun in his hand, is an outstanding scholar.


    Liu xiulang said: "Shiyi, you give up resistance now, I can spare your life."


    Shi Yi burst out laughing and said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, you are really beyond your ability. Do you think it''s still your Jingzhou in Cangwu county? Before that, a large number of soldiers under your command were infected with malaria. Now, no more than 6000 soldiers can fight again. Under such circumstances, how can you fight again? "


    Shi Yi''s voice, transmitted in the army, enhanced the morale of the soldiers.


    Liu Xiu said in a loud voice: "Shiyi, do you really think that the soldiers under my command will get sick because of miasma?"


    Shi Yi said: "this is a fact. Do you want to deny it?"


    Liu Xiu straddled the horse with a smile on his face and said, "Shiyi, you can judge that the soldiers under my command are poisoned by miasma because they use less local cooking stoves. Don''t you know that the reduction of soil stoves can also be used as a stratagem? "


    Brush!


    Shi Yi''s face suddenly turned blue.


    Don''t you think it''s a trick!


    However, when he came to this stage, he said, "it''s impossible for you to retreat. Your soldiers infected with the disease have been isolated. Don''t you want to deny it? "


    Liu Xiu said: "Shi Yi, don''t you know that this news is also false news that our official asked people to release?"


    Shi Yi''s heart gradually sank after listening.


    The morale of the 10000 soldiers under his command had been raised, but now after listening to Liu Xiu''s words, his heart became cold. One by one, there was a look of panic in their eyes.


    The scholar said in a loud voice: "Liu Xiu, don''t be bluffing."


    Liu Xiu said, "if you are bluffing or not, you can look down. Do you know that I deliberately slowed down the speed of the march to lure you to fight here. "


    "No way!"


    Shi Yi denied it and raised his gun. He was ready to fight.


    His simple conversation with Liu Xiu made his soldiers tremble. If we go on, maybe our soldiers have no courage to fight.


    "Dong! Dong


    All of a sudden, the sound of drums suddenly came from the rear of the shiyijun formation.


    "Kill, kill Shiyi."


    Suddenly, the cry came from the rear of the army.


    At the same time, Liu Xiu also pulled out his sword and ordered: "kill!" At the first order, the soldiers were already rushing forward, whining and rushing.

 Chapter 447

    "Boom!"


    The drums of war resound through the battlefield with boundless murderous air.


    In the rear of Shi Yi, Huang Hu led 1000 Flying Tiger Battalion soldiers to charge quickly.


    The soldiers of the 1000 Flying Tiger camp have fierce eyes and strong murderous spirit. Under the leadership of Huang Hu, they had already reached the rear of Jiaozhou soldiers in a short time.


    "Cape hammer, kill!"


    Suddenly, he smashed the golden hammer in his hand.


    "Bang Dang!"


    The gold hammer of the drum jar fell on a shield. In an instant, the shield cracked. The soldier who supported the shield bled and died on the spot.


    "Hoo


    The golden hammer of the drum jar sweeps past, bringing out a roaring sound.


    "Touch! Touch


    The sound of crashing is ringing.


    The soldiers of Jiaozhou around Huang Hu, who were swept by the golden hammer of the drum jar, fell to the ground one after another.


    He just killed for a moment, he had already killed in the Jiaozhou soldiers, and no one dared to resist within a decade around him. All the Jiaozhou soldiers were frightened and avoided.


    The rest of the flying tiger camp soldiers were also among the Jiaozhou soldiers. After a while of fighting, they had been stirred up to the ground, making the rear area of Jiaozhou soldiers completely chaotic.


    In front of Jiaozhou soldiers, Liu Xiu ordered them to fight, and they had already fought with Shi Yi.


    Shamoko, holding a stick of Tribulus terrestris, led 1000 barbarians and 3000 soldiers to fight quickly.


    Four thousand soldiers entered the battlefield to fight with Shi Yi''s ten thousand elite.


    Four thousand elite, although the number is small, but the soldiers show the spirit, and the soldiers that will win the high morale, but severely suppressed the Jiaozhou soldiers under Shiyi.


    At the moment, taxi one regretted in his heart. He knew Liu Xiu''s mouth was so bad, so he just went to war. He shouldn''t talk nonsense with Liu Xiu.


    Now, he is not only attacked from the front to the back, but also demoralized by his soldiers.


    Shi Yi''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu. He said, "Liu Xiu, take your life."


    Catch the king first!


    The goal of Shiyi is Liu Xiu.


    Shi a spurt, in the hands of a gun up and down, constantly pick fly in front of the Jingzhou soldiers. Seeing the distance from Liu Xiu getting closer and closer, Shiyi was even more happy.


    However, the corners of Liu Xiu''s mouth suddenly rose, revealing a look of banter.


    This scene, make a sudden heart.


    "Shiyi, take your life."


    When Shi Yi had a bad feeling in his heart, a roar suddenly exploded in Shi Yi''s ear. In an instant, I saw a fierce general, carrying a stick of Tribulus terrestris to kill.


    "Shamoko is here, and I will die."


    Shamoko hands of the Tribulus terrestris bone in the air rotation, struggling to court one hit.


    Shi Yi drinks low, immediately raises the gun to return fire.


    "Dang!"


    Where weapons collide, where guns and Tribulus terrestris bones rub, sparks splash.


    The two men played in the first round without a draw.


    The corners of shamoko''s mouth rose and he roared again, "come again."


    Tribulus terrestris bone across the air, and hard hit Shi Yi. In the face of this move, the scholar looks bitter. Although he blocked it just now, his hand holding the gun was numb and painful. Now shamoko killed him again, and he didn''t even give him a chance to get out.


    In desperation, Shi Yi can only wave his gun to block it.


    "Dang!"


    The weapon hit and made a loud noise again.


    Shamoko rose up and roared, "if you have some skills, you can take me again."


    Can''t help but say, Tribulus terrestris bone flower and quickly wave down.


    Shi Yi''s heart has been cold, but in the face of shamoko''s attack, he can''t get away from it, he can only resist it. The most important thing is that the speed of shamocco''s one move is extremely fast. After one move, he attacks again in a flash, which makes him tired of dealing with it.


    "Dang! Dang! "


    Continuous impact sound, constantly reverberate in the ear.


    Shi Yi''s hands holding the big gun were bleeding from the mouth of the tiger, and his Qi and blood were churning and could not be suppressed.


    "Fall down!"


    Shamoko roared, and the bone of Tribulus terrestris dropped with a sharp voice.


    Shi Yi is helpless and resists again.


    "Dang!"


    The weapon hit, and the gun flew out.


    "Poof!"


    Shi Yi vomited blood and fell down from his horse. Fell to the ground, the body is constantly twitching, has been just a move, fight no trace of combat effectiveness.


    "Come on, take corporal one."


    Shamoko ordered, the barbarians under his command immediately ordered, and the soldiers quickly arrested.


    "When Shi Yi is killed, he will not be killed."


    After shamoko defeated Shiyi, he roared.


    "When Shi Yi is killed, he will not be killed.""When Shi Yi is killed, he will not be killed."


    Jingzhou soldiers kept roaring, and their voices echoed on the battlefield. Jingzhou soldiers were as powerful as rainbow. Jiaozhou soldiers found that they had lost their fighting spirit one by one after they disappeared, so they knelt down to surrender.


    At this time, there were very few Jiaozhou soldiers who were still resisting.


    Huang Hu and shamoko led the army to encircle and suppress, constantly killing the tenacious Jiaozhou soldiers.


    When Liu Xiu, Pang Tong and Jia Xu saw this, their faces were smiling.


    Pang Tong said: "the first stage plan has been completed. The defeat of Shiyi depends on Zhuge Liang''s backhand. "


    Jia Xu said: "I''d rather Zhuge Liang didn''t have a back hand. Then all the soldiers brought by Shi Yi could be captured alive. Once Zhuge Liang has arranged for his backhand, it will be impossible for us to capture these Jiaozhou soldiers alive in this war. "


    Liu Xiu said: "wait, we will know soon."


    "Dong! Dong


    All of a sudden, the drum of war suddenly rang out on the battlefield. The beating frequency of the drums in this battle is quite different from that of the soldiers in Liu Xiujun. His voice came from the direction behind the yellow tiger.


    "Here it is


    Liu Xiu''s sword eyebrows picked, and his eyes showed a touch of brilliance.


    Finally, Zhuge Liang''s army came.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "Mingjin, order to withdraw."


    Without any hesitation, Liu Xiu directly gave the order to withdraw.


    "Dang! Dang! Dang


    The sound of gongs reverberated on the battlefield. Huang Hu and shamoko led their troops to join and then quickly retreated. After the withdrawal of Jingzhou soldiers, a neat and solemn army soon appeared on the battlefield.


    This army is the elite under Liu Bei, and the leader is Chen Dao.


    This time when he confronted Liu Xiu, Zhuge Liang''s strategy was to let Shiyi as a pioneer to lead Liu Xiu. If Liu Xiu''s army is really infected with the disease, then he can not send troops. However, once Shiyi failed to win, Zhuge Liang''s backhand could quickly join the battlefield, turn the situation around and give Liu Xiu a fatal blow.


    When Chen arrived at the battlefield, he saw a scene of chaos, and his heart sank. Chen Dao didn''t find any trace of Shi Yi. He immediately asked the soldiers, who said Shi Yi had been killed.


    On the contrary, Chen Zhi had a smile at the news.


    When Shi Yi was killed, it means that Liu Xiu and Shi Xie have a bitter hatred, which will urge Shi Xie to resist to the end and will not give birth to other ideas.


    This is also Zhuge Liang''s unexpected plan.


    Chen Dao ordered the whole army, and then took over the defeated soldiers under Shi Yi.

 Chapter 448

    Jingzhou army, barracks.


    Chinese army big account!


    Liu xiuduan was sitting right above him. At the bottom of the tent, kneeling, bound, hands kneeling on the ground, taxi one.


    At this time, the taxi was in pain.


    After the defeat of Shi Yi in the war with shamoko, his Qi and blood were unstable and his internal organs were severely damaged.


    Liu Xiu didn''t speak. Shi Yi didn''t look at Liu Xiu. After a long time, Liu Xiu opened his mouth and said, "come on!"


    In an instant, a soldier quickly came in and saluted.


    Liu Xiu said, "take the general to wash up, and then bring him to see me. Remember, don''t tie your hands. "


    "No!"


    When the soldier got the order, he went to Shi Yi.


    Shi Yi stood up, squinted at Liu Xiu, turned and walked out. He would not appreciate Liu Xiu''s kindness. He was loyal to Liu Bei and could not be used by Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu saw all this in his eyes.


    With a smile in his mouth, Liu Xiu didn''t put Shi Yi''s action in his heart.


    To convince Shiyi, Liu Xiu has enough confidence.


    About two quarters of an hour later, Shi Yi had put on a brand new robe. He went into the tent alone, looked around and found that there was no one in the tent. For a time, Shi Yi''s heart became alive.


    Shi Yi said: "Liu Jingzhou alone to see me, is not afraid of my hands?"


    Liu Xiu said confidently with a smile: "general Shi was seriously injured by shamoko. Is there any spare power to deal with him? If so, general Shi can have a try. "


    Shi Yi''s eyes narrowed and looked at Liu Xiu.


    It seems that he is making sure whether Liu Xiu is lying or not.


    Liu Xiu said: "in the barracks, there are only you and me, no soldiers."


    Shi Yi said: "Liu Jingzhou, offended."


    "Kill


    Shiyi endured the pain of his heart and stepped forward.


    Brush!


    In an instant, people have been like an arrow from the string, quickly rushed to Liu Xiu.


    "Drink!"


    Shi Yi roared, clenched his right hand and hit Liu Xiu''s head. The style of the fist is fierce, and the blow is as fierce as a rock rolling down.


    When they were less than a Zhang away, Liu xiuceng stood up.


    Make a fist!


    Liu Xiu took a horse step and hit his fist straight forward.


    "Pa!"


    Two people''s fists hit, Liu Xiu''s fist is not damaged, but Shi Yi''s hand is painful and unjust, so that his face is full of a trace of pain. Before he could change his moves, Liu Xiu took a step forward and punched again.


    The fist is so fast that you can''t avoid it.


    In the twinkling of an eye, it has fallen on Shi Yi''s shoulder.


    "Boom!"


    Violent impact, the force suddenly burst out.


    Shi Yi is stuffy to hum a, feel a boundless strength to immerse his body only. Immediately, like a broken kite, he flew upside down and then fell to the ground.


    "Ah


    With a scream, Shi Yi was in pain.


    Shi Yi stood up and looked at Liu Xiu. He was surprised and said, "do you know martial arts?"


    Liu Xiu sat down again and said, "who told you that I don''t know martial arts?"


    Shi Yi eyebrows up a pick, showing a trace of dignified. Before that, he really thought that Liu Xiu couldn''t do martial arts. He didn''t expect that Liu Xiu''s martial arts were better than him.


    Liu Xiu said: "it''s not a secret that we know ourselves and the enemy, and that we can win a hundred battles. It seems that general Shi has lived in Cangwu County for a long time, and he doesn''t even know the outside news. "


    "It''s normal, too."


    "If general Shi knew the outside news and Liu Bei''s affairs, he might not serve him."


    There was a trace of contempt in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    This trace of contempt set off waves in Shi Yi''s heart.


    Shi Yi asked, "what do you mean?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were calm and asked slowly, "general Shi, how many things do you know about Liu Bei? Or, what kind of person do you think Liu Bei is? "


    There was a trace of admiration in Shi Yi''s eyes, and he said: "the Lord is kind and virtuous. He is dedicated to the country and the people. He is a rare Lord. The Lord is here, the blessing of life and the blessing of the country. "


    Liu Xiu was surprised at Liu Bei''s ability.


    It is reasonable to say that after Liu Bei arrived in Cangwu County, he seized the right of the scholar family in Jiaozhou. Although the scholar family surrendered to Liu Bei, there should be a knot in his heart at least.


    However, Shi Yi held Liu Bei in high esteem.


    It is conceivable that Liu Bei''s means and ability to win people''s hearts are really admirable.


    Liu Xiu was also ashamed of this.


    Liu Xiu sneered twice and said, "a hypocrite is worthy of your praise. It seems that you are blind. It''s no wonder that you don''t even know the news that our officer knows martial arts. How can you know Liu Bei''s character? "Shi Yi said: "Liu Xiu, although you win, there is no need to insult the Lord like this. At any rate, you are also a monarch. You are the one who dominates Jingzhou. You shouldn''t be so humble. "


    Liu xiudao: "what a fool! Well, I''ll tell you. You said Liu Bei was dedicated to the country and the people, right? "


    Shi Yi said: "yes!"


    Liu Xiu said: "the official said one thing. When Liu Bei didn''t betray Cao Cao, he used to work under Cao Cao. In order to kill Cao Cao, Liu Bei signed an imperial edict with court officials, intending to murder Cao Cao. In the end, he slipped away and killed the others. When it comes to the murder of Cao Cao, if Liu Bei is dedicated to the country and the people, he should not murder Cao Cao. "


    The scholar snorted and said with disdain: "Cao Cao is a national thief. Everyone will be killed. It is a matter of course for the Lord to unite with the officials of the imperial court to punish Cao Cao. "


    Liu Xiu retorted: "what a natural justice, but Cao Cao died? As soon as Cao Cao died, his hundreds of thousands of troops would fall apart and go their own ways. Officials of the imperial court, even the emperor, may die in the chaos. After Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo in those years, Dong Zhuo took charge of various departments and fought everywhere. There were countless deaths and injuries among officials of the imperial court, and the emperor was in exile. "


    "If Cao Cao is in the north, he will be as firm as Mount Tai and will not fall into turmoil."


    "If Cao Cao dies, there will be chaos in the north."


    "Who are the victims of the war? In the end, it''s the people. "


    Liu Xiu said: "the mere murder of Cao Cao will make the imperial court in turmoil, and make countless people in trouble. Do you still say that Liu Bei''s heart is for the country? Do you care about the people? "


    Scholar a corner of the mouth twitches, strong from way: "Cao thief should kill, want to kill Cao thief, inevitable damage."


    "What an injury."


    Liu xiudao: "since Liu Bei has the idea of ignoring the people, don''t flaunt that he cares about the people. It''s really hypocritical, so it''s true that I said he was a hypocrite. "


    Shi Yi said: "my Lord''s consideration at that time was to kill Cao Cao, and he didn''t think so much about it."


    Liu Xiu retorted: "Liu Bei is so resourceful that he will not think about it. What he thinks about is just how he seeks power and how he can get ahead. "


    Shi Yi snorted and stopped talking. He didn''t want to argue with Liu Xiu any more.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "it''s the common people to throw away their happiness. Instead of talking about the country, let''s talk about Liu Bei''s kindness and generosity. In my opinion, Liu Bei''s mind is cold and weak. He is a powerful man and can''t be called benevolent king at all. "


    Shiyi couldn''t bear it and retorted: "the benevolence of the Lord is well known in the world. Liu Xiu, you are envious. You are envious of the good name of the Lord''s benevolence. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "in that case, can I give you another example?"


    Shi Yi said: "you say!"

 Chapter 449

    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "last year, Liu Bei was still in Jingzhou and stationed in Xinye. At that time, Liu Bei was short of food, so he borrowed food from his official. It''s not a small amount of grain, he said


    "At that time, I also heard that Liu Bei was generous and benevolent."


    "But I wanted to test it, and then I proposed to Liu Bei for three months to borrow Zhao Yun, the Ministry under his command."


    "Liu Bei agreed for the sake of grain."


    With a disdainful look on his face, Liu Xiu said, "can a person who can sell his subordinates for food be regarded as benevolent and generous? I''m afraid it''s a joke. "


    Shi Yi frowned and asked, "what happened later? You didn''t return Zhao Yun. "


    "Wrong!"


    Liu Xiu shook his head.


    Shi Yi said: "how to develop in the future?"


    Liu Xiu had a smile on his face. Shi Yi took the initiative to ask. That''s the hook. Liu Xiu said: "later, in fact, there was no time limit of three months. My father died of illness, and I inherited Jingzhou. Regardless of Zhao Yun''s life or death, Liu Bei went to war


    "General Shi is a man of understanding. Should he understand the result of the war?"


    "Zhao Yun is under Liu Bei''s command. Liu Bei is at war. How can Zhao Yun deal with himself?"


    "After Liu Bei started the war, the war was not going well. Later, he came to Jingzhou for negotiation. He wanted to recognize that Liu Qi was also a herdsman in Jingzhou and realize the idea of two masters in Jingzhou."


    "Hum, Jingzhou is the Liu family''s Jingzhou, but Liu Bei has come to stir up the war. Is this still for the benefit of the people?"


    When Liu Bei came to Xiangyang, he was supported by Wuling county and Nanjun county. But this official secretly dispatched Huang Zhong to return to South County, first settled the chaos of South County, and then topped Wuling county.


    "At this stage, Liu Bei''s reliance has been lost, and he has been in a passive position."


    Liu Xiu looked contemptuous and said: "at this time, Liu Bei''s food was in trouble, and he was short of food. Moreover, Liu Bei''s situation was already passive everywhere. Liu Bei put forward the peace talks again, and stopped talking about the two masters of Jingzhou."


    "After hearing this, of course, I don''t agree."


    "Finally, I wanted to see if Liu Bei was willing to give up Zhao Yun and put forward the conditions."


    "If Liu Bei abandons Zhao Yun and lets him return to his official position, then both sides will strike."


    Liu Xiu raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "Liu Bei agreed directly. For his own power, he gave up Zhao Yun. Can a person who has to give up even his subordinates be called benevolent and generous? "


    Shi Yi clenched his fist and opened his mouth to retort, but when he got to his mouth, he swallowed it back.


    Give up your subordinates!


    Such a thing is indeed a shame, and it''s very unkind.


    For a time, Shi Yi didn''t know how to deal with it.


    Shi Yi believes that Liu Xiu can''t lie about such things, especially Zhao Yun himself is under Liu Xiu''s command. Once Liu Xiu tells a lie, it''s easy to break it.


    Liu Xiu continued: "a person who is fickle, selfish and neglecting others. I don''t understand why the scholar family would join Liu Bei and why the general was so loyal to Liu Bei. "


    Shi Yi took a deep breath and said, "Liu Jingzhou, although the Lord is wrong, you are not a good man."


    Liu xiudao: "I''m not a good man. Don''t you know that people are good and are bullied? However, I have my own principles and will never give up my own people for the sake of interests. Once you give up the first person, you will give up the second person for the benefit. With the first time, there will definitely be a second time. "


    Shi Yi Wen Yan, also can''t help nodding, agree with Liu Xiu''s words.


    Liu Xiu said, "if the general doesn''t believe it, I can play a game to ask Liu Bei to hand over Cangwu County in exchange for the general."


    Shi Yi shook his head and said, "no need."


    It is impossible for Liu Bei to hand over Cangwu county.


    Liu xiudao: "general Shi, what about Liu Bei? Do you think Liu Bei can dominate the party and achieve great achievements? "


    This words a, Shi Yi also choked.


    If there is no Liu Xiu here, Shi Yi will not hesitate to say that he can achieve great achievements. Even if it can''t sweep the world, it can at least dominate one side. But unfortunately, Liu Xiu came with his soldiers. Under such circumstances, Shi Yi could not guarantee it.


    Liu Xiu continued: "let me answer for you. Liu Bei can''t dominate. Cangwu County, or Jiaozhou, is the end of Liu Bei. This time I will lead the army to the south, and I will surely wipe out Liu Bei. "


    To this conclusion, Shi Yi said: "now that the war has just begun, is Liu Jingzhou too confident?"


    Liu xiudao said: "I have fought with Liu Bei countless times. Has Liu Bei ever won one?"


    Shi Yi said: "no matter how many times you win or lose, as long as you win in the most crucial battle, that''s enough. The rest is empty. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "for Liu Bei, it''s impossible to have such an opportunity."


    Shi Yi wanted to retort, but he couldn''t find any reason to retort.Liu Xiu''s face became more serious and said, "after so many words, what should be said has already been said. General Shi, are you going to submit to my official? I still intend to continue to be loyal to Liu Bei. You choose to live or die. "


    Shi Yi took a deep breath and said, "I''m willing to fall!"


    When he said that, he bowed himself.


    When he really opened his mouth to surrender, he felt at ease. With Liu Xiu as a big tree, the scholar''s family, to a certain extent, had a chance to prosper in the future.


    Liu Xiu also had a bright smile on his face and said: "those who know current affairs are heroes. General Shi will not regret today''s decision. The future of the scholars will not be limited to Jiaozhou. "


    A word is a promise.


    Shi Yi''s heart is also vivid, saying: "Shi Yi will live up to the Lord''s high expectations."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "now there is one more thing. I need you to go back to Cangwu County, persuade your elder brother SHIXIE, and wait for my order. When it''s time for you to act, there will be an order to convey."


    "Ah


    The scholar exclaimed in surprise, with a look of surprise in his eyes.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu arranged it like this.


    Liu Xiu said, "general Shi, what''s your opinion?"


    Shi Yi replied: "no comment, I promise to finish the task."


    Liu Xiu''s arrangement, Shi Yi is surprised, but in his heart is ten thousand willing, can return to Cangwu County Guangxin county base camp, that is the best result. Especially when I went back to Guangxin county and planned to work for Liu Xiu, the effect was better, the meritorious service was greater, and the rewards in the future were naturally more.


    Liu Xiu said: "general Shi, have you figured out the words to go back?"


    Shi Yi thought about it and said, "this is simple. I believe Liu Bei will not doubt it."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Liu Bei doesn''t doubt it. Zhuge Liang will doubt it. When you returned to Guangxin County, you said that you were surrendering to our official, and then our official sent you back to Guangxin County as an internal agent to alienate the relationship between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang will not doubt this reason, nor will Liu Bei. "


    After hearing this, Shi Yi said, "I will obey you."


    Compared with the reasons for his thinking, the conditions proposed by Liu Xiu are more appropriate.

 Chapter 450

    Guangxin County, the prefecture of animal husbandry.


    Zhuge Liang sat in Liu Bei''s study and discussed the war on the front line.


    Liu Bei looked serious and said: "Kong Ming, although Shi Yi is the forward, Chen Dao is in the rear. But once it fails, the consequences are quite serious. "


    Zhuge Liang said: "Lord, even if Shiyi fails, it doesn''t matter. If Chen comes down, there will be no problem."


    After a pause, Zhuge Liang said: "in fact, there are three possibilities for Shi Yi to fight. If Shiyi wins, his family will be loyal to him and willing to serve him. If Shiyi loses, his family will continue to serve him. Once Shiyi dies in the war, his family will hate Liu Xiu and serve him even more. It can be said that Shi Yi''s going to fight is a sure way to make money. "


    After hearing this, Liu Bei''s eyes sparkled with extraordinary brilliance.


    On the face, appear happy color.


    Liu Bei nodded his head and said, "Kong Ming''s plan is really a perfect one."


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, outside the study, the voice of soldiers rang out.


    The soldier said, "my Lord, the battle report is coming back from the front line."


    Liu Bei said, "come in!"


    With an order, the soldier opened the door and entered the study, presenting the latest war report.


    Liu Bei quickly browsed it and waved his hand to order the soldiers to step down. After the soldiers left, Liu Bei''s face showed joy and said: "Kong Ming, as you expected, Shi Yi died in the war."


    "Oh, really?"


    Zhuge Liang''s eyes were full of joy.


    Liu Bei handed the war report to Zhuge Liang. After Zhuge Liang read it, he looked relaxed.


    It''s done!


    Zhuge Liang said: "the death of Shi Yi in the war means that there is no intersection between the Shi family and Liu Xiu. Even the power of the scholar family will become the sharpest sword in your hand. Now, you can go to the scholar''s house in person. "


    Liu Bei nodded and said, "it''s reasonable!"


    "Come on, let''s go to the scholar''s house."


    Immediately, Liu Bei stood up and went out.


    Zhuge Liang followed closely. After they left the prefecture, they took a carriage and went straight to the scholar''s house. After the carriage stopped at the scholar''s house, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang entered the house together.


    In the hall!


    Shi Xie, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang took their seats.


    At this time, Liu Bei''s face is full of heavy look, a pair of words and stop.


    Shi Xie asked, "Lord, what happened?"


    Liu Bei sighed and said, "Alas..."


    Shi Xie was worried and asked, "Lord, what happened?"


    Zhuge Liang chimed in: "Mr. Wei Yan, please be patient."


    "I''m sorry?"


    Shi Xie''s eyes widened and his body trembled slightly. He asked, "second brother, what happened to my second brother?"


    At this time, Shi Xie''s heart had already guessed.


    But in his heart, there is still a glimmer of hope, do not want to face such a situation.


    Liu Bei''s face was full of helplessness and said: "general Shiyi was ambushed by Liu Xiu. So that he died in battle. "


    "Ah


    Shi Xie exclaimed, still shaking his head and saying, "impossible!"


    Even now, Shi Xie is not willing to believe it.


    With a helpless look on his face, Liu Bei said, "Weiyan, that''s the truth. I don''t want General Shi Yi to die, but he did die in the hands of Liu Xiu. This war report was written and sent back by Chen Dao himself. "


    "Alas..."


    Shi Xie sighed, his face full of regret.


    Before, Shi Xie had dissuaded Shi Yi, but Shi Yi still went.


    Unfortunately, Shi Yi didn''t listen to his advice, otherwise he would not die in battle.


    Shi Xie looks sad. He looks at Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and his mind turns. He immediately understands the intention of each other, obviously to urge him to attack Liu Xiu with all his strength.


    Shi Xie knew this, but he still said: "Liu Xiu, kill my brother, don''t take revenge, swear not to be a man. My Lord, although I''m old, I''m willing to contribute. "


    Liu Bei said, "Mr. Wei Yan, please forgive me. Let''s not talk about anything else. Let''s deal with the funeral of General Li Shi Yi first. "


    In a word, I think about SHIXIE everywhere.


    This is Liu Bei''s style, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.


    Shi Xie arched his hand and said, "thank you, Lord."


    When the words changed, Shi Xie asked, "Lord, what''s the situation on the front line?"


    Liu Bei replied: "the vanguard army led by general Shi Yi is almost annihilated. Chen Dao led the army to hold down the battle behind him, and he was a little late in the rescue. Alas, this matter is really not well considered by my official. "


    Shi Xie said: "the Lord doesn''t have to blame himself. It''s the second younger brother''s life. No wonder others."


    Liu Bei comforted him again: "Wei Yangong can rest assured that although Liu Xiu is very fierce, my official is not afraid of him and will fight him to the end."Shi Xie nodded, and his mood became more stable.


    "Master!"


    Suddenly, the voice of the housekeeper came to mind outside the study.


    Shi Xie said, "what''s the matter?"


    The housekeeper said, "there is a soldier outside the door who said he would report the news about the second master."


    "Bring it in."


    After hearing this, Shi Xie''s mood was not high, and he spoke faintly.


    The housekeeper got the order, turned and went down to convey the message.


    After a while, there was a knock on the door


    Shi Xie said, "bring it in!"


    Creak!


    When the door was pushed open, a gaunt looking soldier with tired eyes came in, bowed his hand and said, "see you."


    Shi Xie asked, "after the second brother died in the war, did you take back his bones?"


    "Ah


    The soldier looked surprised and strange.


    This scene made Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have a bad premonition in their hearts. The soldier''s expression was not sad at all. The reaction of the soldiers was also very strange.


    Immersed in the thought of Shi Yi being killed, Shi Xie asked, "is it true that the bones are gone?"


    The soldier shook his head and said, "old man, why do you say General Shi is dead?"


    This words a, Shi Xie stare big eye, ask a way: "two younger brothers didn''t die?"


    "Of course," said the soldier


    "Plop! Plop


    Shi Xie''s heart was beating fast and fast. He stood up and asked, "I got the news that my second brother died in the battle."


    The soldier shook his head and said, "general Shi was captured alive by shamoko, not killed. Now, Liu Xiu has released general Shi. The villain came back first, and the general will be back soon. "


    "Second brother is still alive, OK."


    Regardless of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, Shi Xie couldn''t help crying out.


    Liu Bei couldn''t see any expression on his face. He congratulated him: "I didn''t expect that general Shi was still alive. Congratulations. This Chen Dao, he even spread false news. When I go back, I will punish him. "


    Shi Xie shook his head and said, "Lord, no need. As long as the second younger brother is alive, everything will be fine. On the battlefield, the war is changing rapidly, and General Chen Dao may not know all about it. "


    Liu Bei said: "Weiyan is deeply aware of righteousness, which is admirable."


    With a smile, Shi Xie put down his heart and said, "my Lord, the second younger brother is about to return. I still have many things to arrange, so I will leave you two soon."


    Liu Bei stood up and said with a smile, "Mr. Wei Yan is polite. Goodbye."


    With that, Liu Bei left with Zhuge Liang.


    When he left the study, the smile on Liu Bei''s face completely disappeared and replaced by a gloomy look.

 Chapter 451

    Prefecture, study.


    Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are seated.


    Liu Bei''s eyes were solemn and serious, and there was boundless anger in his eyes.


    Shiyi is not dead!


    The news is too bad for him.


    Before that, all the schemers here could not be put into practice. Even because he took the initiative to report, Shi Xie would surely think that Liu Bei was looking forward to Shi Yi''s death.


    The relationship between the two sides has become very stiff.


    What to do?


    How to deal with Liu Xiu next?


    Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and asked, "Kong Ming, what do you think of today''s events?"


    Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "Lord, Chen Dao''s news is wrong, which proves that he has been misled. This may be Liu Xiu''s trap. No wonder Chen Dao. So far, we have to start the war in front of us. When I was at the scholar''s home, the messenger reported that Liu Xiu had released Shi Yi on his own initiative. I''m afraid the comer was not good. "


    Liu Bei said, "do you mean that Shi Yi has obeyed Liu Xiu?"


    Zhuge Liang said: "we can''t rule out this possibility, but we can''t completely determine it. If it is true to submit to Liu Xiu, Shi Yi should not come back in such a big way. For the time being, we can''t confirm the message. "


    Liu Bei said, "if so, just wait for a while."


    Zhuge Liang said: "for the time being, we can only wait."


    ¡­¡­


    Scholar''s family!


    Shi Xie has been very happy since he got the news of Shi Yi''s return.


    One day, Shi Yi came back.


    Back at home, Shi Yi went directly to see Shi Xie.


    In the study, the two brothers sit opposite each other.


    Shi Xie said in a deep voice: "the messenger said that you were released by Liu Xiu. What''s the matter? "


    Shi Yi replied: "brother, I was indeed captured, and then I was captured by Liu Xiu. Now, I''ve come back to Liu Xiu. This time I came back to work for Liu Xiu. "


    Shi Xie''s eyebrows picked, and there was a trace of shock in his eyes.


    He surrendered to Liu Xiu.


    Shi Xie asked, "second brother, do you really surrender?"


    Shi Yi replied: "compared with Liu Xiu, Liu Bei can hardly develop. Liu Xiu is a good candidate to defeat Cao Cao and control Jingzhou. I think it''s better to follow Liu Xiu than Liu Bei. In the future, maybe my family will have a chance to go out of Jiaozhou and step into a broader world. "


    Shi Xie said in a deep voice, "did Liu Xiu say what to do?"


    Shi Yi shook his head and said, "Liu Xiu said, let me tell Liu Bei directly that I was a false surrender, and Liu Xiu sent me back to alienate the relationship between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. This speech was prepared by Liu Xiu. I think that''s fair enough. "


    When Shi Xie heard the speech, he was silent for a long time, and said, "it''s reasonable. But Liu Xiu so easily put you back, Liu Xiu will not prevent you from false surrender


    Shi Yi said: "in fact, Liu Xiu''s purpose is to alienate Liu Bei and his family. Of course, in front of Liu Bei, I will pretend that I don''t know the reason. Liu Xiu said, "ZHUGE Liang is extremely clever and can definitely judge."


    Shi Xie nodded and said, "Liu Xiu is not simple."


    Shi Yi said, "this man is unfathomable."


    And Liu Xiu met one side, Shi Yi is already on the side of Liu Xiu.


    Shi Yi changed his mind and said, "brother, I''ve decided to submit to Liu Xiu. But you are the master of the family. What attitude is the scholar family, and has the final say? "


    Shi Xie said, "Liu Xiu only gave you a speech, but didn''t say anything else. Let''s wait and see what happens."


    Shi Yi said: "Liu Xiu said that the scholar''s family will not move for the time being. Once there is an order, someone will be sent to send a message. For the time being, we don''t care. "


    Shi Xie laughed and said, "since Liu Xiu has said it, I don''t care for the moment."


    The two brothers had a careful discussion, and then Shi Xie took over the dust for Shi Yi. Early the next morning, a servant from his family reported that Liu Bei was in love.


    This result is naturally expected by Shi Yi.


    Shi Yi, dressed in a Bo collar shirt, went to the prefecture.


    Entering the hall, Shi Yi saluted Liu Bei respectfully and said: "humble Shi Yi, meet your Lord."


    "Sit down!"


    Liu Bei waved his hand to show that Yishi was seated.


    Zhuge Liang gently shakes the feather fan in his hand, but his eyes are fixed on Shi Yi. It seems that he wants to find the difference of Shi Yi. However, Shi Yi''s expression is calm as usual, and Zhuge Liang can''t see the difference.


    Liu Bei said: "it''s a great pleasure for general Shi to come back safely. Before that, I received news that general Shi had died in battle, and I was deeply saddened. Now that general Shi is back, it''s really worth celebrating. "


    Shi Yi sneered in his heart. Liu Bei didn''t believe what he said.


    He''s dead. It''s more valuable.


    When he came back, he hindered Liu Bei.Shi Yi''s face did not show the slightest, on the contrary, he looked guilty. He said with a positive face: "incompetence at a humble position, not only at the expense of soldiers, but also worried the Lord. Please tell him to commit a crime."


    Liu Bei shook his head and said, "if you can come back alive, it''s the best."


    All of a sudden, Zhuge Liang opened his mouth and asked, "general Shi, I have a little doubt. Please give me some advice."


    Shi Yi said, "please speak, military strategist."


    Zhuge Liang asked, "general Shi has been captured alive. Why did Liu Xiu let you back?"


    Shi Yi said: "he was arrested at that time. Liu Xiu wanted to recruit the last general. Mo Jiang thought that instead of refusing to surrender and being killed, he might as well keep a useful body to repay the Lord, and then he pretended to surrender. Unexpectedly, after the end of the will to Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu even took the initiative to let the end will come back. He also gave the end general a task to alienate the Lord and the army


    "I thought to myself that the relationship between the Lord and the military division has long been like one person, which is impossible."


    "But the last general can come back."


    Shi Yi excitedly said: "the end will agree to come down, Liu Xiu released the end will, let the end will come back. Otherwise, there is nothing else. The end of the general and Liu Xiu, but also just one-sided relationship


    Liu Bei said with a smile: "this time, Liu Xiu is acting smart. Hum, he doesn''t know that the general is loyal. He can''t bully or cajole at all."


    Shi Yi said: "my Lord, I have praised you falsely."


    Liu Bei said with a smile: "it''s hard for the general to come back all the way. I believe in the general and I believe in his family."


    Shi Yi said: "thank you, Lord."


    Liu Bei said: "general Shi, let''s go back and adjust. Then, we are ready to fight again."


    "No!"


    As soon as he got up, he turned and left.


    In the hall, only Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were left.


    Liu Bei clenched his fist, his eyes sparkled with anger, and said: "Kong Ming, do you believe in one''s words? This is clearly a deliberate deception of my official. His words have no credibility at all. "


    Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time and said, "Lord, I think Shiyi is telling the truth."


    "Why?"


    Liu Bei asked.


    Zhuge Liang said: "Shi Yi''s words are the illusion of Liu Xiu. He did this intentionally, not to alienate the Lord from me, but to alienate the Lord from my family. "


    After a pause, Zhuge Liang said: "the LORD listened to Shi Yi''s words, although he doubted, he would not show it. No matter how, Liu Xiu''s simple move planted the seeds of suspicion in the Lord''s heart. Liu Xiu''s purpose is to make the Lord suspicious of the scholar''s family and make the Lord and the scholar''s family split. "


    "Ah


    Liu Bei exclaimed in surprise, with a sudden look on his face.


    Cunning!


    Liu Xiu''s scheme is too cunning.


    Liu Bei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "so now we have to win over the scholar''s family, and scholar one is only Liu Xiu''s pawn."


    Zhuge Liang said: "my Lord is wise. Although Shi Yi is quite proficient in the art of war, he is not worthy of Liu Xiu''s attention. If Liu Xiu really attached importance to it, he would not let Shi Yi come back to risk himself. Shi Yi is just Liu Xiu''s pawn. "


    Liu Bei said: "in this way, Shiyi is trustworthy."


    Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "don''t believe it all, just half believe it. In a word, the Lord should not have any dissatisfaction with the scholar''s family, so as to avoid the turmoil of the scholar''s family. "


    "Alas..."


    After hearing this, Liu Bei looked helpless.


    I didn''t expect that a scholar should have caused such a result.


    Liu Bei asked: "sergeant, Shiyi is still alive. The family of Shiyi is definitely not willing to fight with Liu Xiu and will not do their best. So what''s next? "


    Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Lord, Liu Xiu has not shown any flaw. If we act rashly under such circumstances, we will show our own flaws. Therefore, I believe that Chen Dao should continue to maintain the deadlock and not take the initiative to attack. "


    Liu Bei nodded and said, "OK, just follow the arrangement of the military division."

 Chapter 452

    Jingzhou army, barracks.


    Big bill!


    Liu Xiu, Pang Tong and Jia Xu discussed business in the big account.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "these two days, the army attacked Chen Dao''s army. Unfortunately, Chen Dao''s defense was steady and did not leak. Under such circumstances, it may not be easy to kill Guangxin county quickly. Can scholars and scholars have a plan to defeat the enemy? "


    Pang Tong said: "when Chen arrived at this person, he was steady, not greedy, not restless. It is the so-called desire is just, he does not seek success, just warm. It''s not easy to beat him


    Liu Xiu nodded, with a dignified look on his face.


    Compared with other people under Liu Bei''s command, Chen Dao is indeed quite stable.


    In terms of martial arts, Chen Zhi is excellent in martial arts and has excellent shooting skills. His martial arts are better than those of shamoko.


    In terms of talent, Chen Dao does not belong to people.


    Guan Yu is arrogant and headstrong; Zhang Fei is reckless and greedy. However, none of these can be seen in Chen Dao. His actions are very moderate. The more so, the fewer shortcomings.


    Jia Xu thought about it and said, "Chen Dao has no flaws for the time being, which doesn''t mean he has no flaws all the time. Moreover, he has no flaws, and we can make them. All of these can be planned. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Mr. Wen he, you should think more about tearing up Chen''s defense."


    "Don''t worry, Lord."


    Jia Xu nodded and wrote it down.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, the voice of Huang Hu came from outside the camp.


    The tent curtain rolled up and Huang Hu came in, reporting: "Lord, in the camp today, two soldiers have symptoms of chills and headaches."


    Liu Xiu smell speech, the facial expression suddenly dignified come down.


    Chilly headache?


    Isn''t this a symptom of being infected by miasma?


    Since he entered Jiaozhou, Liu Xiu made all kinds of preparations, including the military encampment sites, which were ventilated and disinfected with lime. In addition, drinking water and diet are all required to be boiled and cooled before drinking. It is not allowed to eat mountain spring water to avoid infection.


    This is still the case.


    Liu Xiu stood up and said, "go, take me to have a look."


    Huang Hu shook his head and said, "not my Lord."


    Huang Hu also knows something about epidemic diseases, which are contagious. Once Liu Xiu was infected with the disease, the consequences would be serious. Soldiers can have problems, but Liu Xiu can''t.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice, "I have to go."


    Pang Tong also stood up and said, "Lord, the soldiers in the army are suffering from an epidemic. You can''t go."


    Jia Xu said: "the epidemic can not be treated. Once it is infected, the consequences will be unimaginable. Lord, think twice. "


    Neither Pang Tong nor Jia Xu suggested Liu Xiu go there.


    Looking at the counselors and generals around him, Liu Xiu said, "if there is an epidemic, it will be worse if we do not suppress it. It is true that although there are military doctors in the army, they may not be able to solve the problem immediately. Despite the emergence of epidemics, the most important thing now is not epidemics, but people''s hearts. Only when I go to see them in person can the soldiers in the army feel at ease. "


    Pang Tong and Jia Xu were silent.


    Liu Xiu is the chief General in the army. It is true that only when Liu Xiu goes to express his sympathy in person can he pacify the morale of the army.


    Liu Xiu said: "Shiyuan, Wenhe stay. On the one hand, you order the doctors in the army to treat the patients. At the same time, you ask Xiangyang for help and let Zhang Zhongjing lead the team to treat the patients."


    "No!"


    Pang Tong and Jia Xu nodded, but they did not stop them.


    Liu Xiu asked people to prepare simple masks, and asked the accompanying people to wear masks. Then he went to the residence where the two soldiers were sick. When Liu Xiu arrived, he looked at the two soldiers who were sick. At this time, they were pale and looked desperate.


    Seeing Liu Xiu coming, there was a trace of vitality in the eyes of the soldiers.


    Liu xiudao: "don''t worry, I will cure you. Now, I have mobilized doctors and invited Xiangyang Zhang Zhongjing to treat you. Don''t you believe in the skill of Doctor Zhang? "


    "Believe it, I believe it."


    One of the sick soldiers nodded and looked more expectant.


    The name of Zhang Zhongjing is well known all over the world.


    If Zhang Zhongjing came to treat them in person, there would be hope for their disease.


    Liu Xiu comforted him again: "now, what you have to do is very simple, that is, relax your heart, listen to the arrangement, and don''t abandon yourself. For yourself, for your family, you can''t give up. If you give up, even if Doctor Zhang arrives, you will not be able to return to heaven. Do you know? "


    The soldier said, "the villain knows." After a pause, the soldier said, "my Lord, please leave. I''ve been infected with the disease. If the adults stay here infected, we are more conscience


    Liu Xiu solemnly said: "who said you are cheap? Although you are the most ordinary soldiers, no official no job, but it is because there are a soldier like you, can support the Jingzhou army, can support the backbone of Jingzhou"My lord..."


    The two soldiers choked when they heard the words.


    Liu Xiu said, "although you are ill, you are still soldiers in the army. Do you still obey orders?"


    "Of course!"


    Two soldiers smell speech, a strength of nod.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice, "Chen Da and song a Fu listen to the order."


    "Yes


    Chen Da and song a Fu heard the speech and answered at the same time.


    On the way here, Liu Xiu had already known about Chen Da and song AFU, and knew their names.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice, "my official orders you to cheer up and cooperate with the treatment."


    "Yes


    Chen Da and song a Fu clasped their fists, but tears were shining in their eyes.


    At this critical moment of life and death, especially when they were suffering from infectious diseases, Liu Xiu did not give up on them. Instead, he took the risk to visit them. They were deeply moved.


    Liu Xiu said, "take good care of your illness. Don''t worry."


    After some consolation, Liu Xiu left the residence with Huang Hu and a group of medical staff.


    When he got out of the barracks, Liu Xiu went back to the tent, took off his mask and changed his clothes again. Then he summoned the doctors in the army and said in a deep voice, "there is an epidemic in the barracks, so we must conduct a thorough investigation. Once found, isolate immediately. At the same time, the isolated patients, their accommodation, diet, etc. must be strictly guaranteed, without any mistakes. It has to be guaranteed


    "No!"


    All the doctors nodded solemnly when they heard the speech.


    Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "the most important thing is the attitude of all people towards the epidemic patients. It is strictly forbidden for anyone to have any attitude of attack or disdain towards the epidemic patients. They are patients themselves. If they show their dislike and disgust to them at this time, it will hurt them greatly. The harm of words is often greater than that of one''s own illness. "


    The doctor in charge of the army said: "don''t worry, my Lord. We will not dislike any patient. This is the basic ethics and ethics of the doctors from Xiangyang hospital. "


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "go down!"


    "No!"


    The doctors left Liu Xiu alone in the study.


    Soon Pang Tong and Jia Xu came together.


    After they were seated, Pang Tong said: "Lord, Mr. Wenhe and I have summoned all the generals in the army. During this period, it is strictly forbidden to disclose the news that soldiers are suffering from epidemic diseases. Now and Chen to form a deadlock, once the news leaks, Chen to will certainly act. This news must not be disclosed. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "the epidemic is still out of control. It''s really impossible to spread news. You have done it right. Now, we have to wait. "


    "Alas..."


    Pang Tong sighed and said, "the situation was very good. I didn''t expect that this kind of thing happened at the critical moment."


    Liu Xiu seemed very calm and said: "there is always a way to solve things. Don''t worry. As the saying goes, "when misfortune comes, happiness depends on it, and when misfortune comes, it may also be an opportunity."


    Pang Tong nodded, still worried.

 Chapter 453

    Two days, fleeting.


    These two days, the military camp in a tense, all the medical staff are busy. On the one hand, we strengthened the control of epidemic diseases; on the other hand, we strengthened the cleaning of diet and drinking water.


    Rao is so, from the first two people, has increased to eight people.


    In the barracks, the soldiers were already aware of the epidemic.


    It''s just that the news hasn''t come out yet.


    In order to avoid the news being detected by Chen Dao, Liu Xiu would take the initiative to send troops to Chen Dao''s barracks every day, making Chen Dao mistake Liu Xiu''s barracks for no problem.


    Liu Xiu''s tension was not relieved.


    It''s a long way from Jiaozhou to Xiangyang. It is necessary to pass through Nanjun, Changsha and Guiyang to reach Cangwu County of Jiaozhou.


    Such a distance is impossible without ten and a half days.


    However, in the camp, the number of patients suffering from epidemic diseases is increasing.


    By the third day, it had increased to twelve.


    On the fourth day, there were twenty people.


    On the fifth day, there were thirty-six people.


    The news coming up in succession made Liu Xiu, Pang Tong, Jia Xu and other senior officials feel heavy. Especially in the process of diagnosis and treatment, a doctor fell ill, which made the situation worse.


    Liu Xiu has the memory of later generations. This kind of disease is easy to solve in later generations.


    But in this era, it is difficult to treat.


    In other words, there is no prescription for treatment, as well as a treatment plan.


    Liu Xiu had no idea what to do with the disease.


    Chinese army big account!


    Liu Xiu, Pang Tong, Jia Xu and others gathered in the camp.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "now it''s the fifth day, more and more people are sick. At the beginning of the disease, the patients did not get better. Even worse, on the verge of death. What should we do? "


    Pang Tong replied, "Lord, I think we should retreat."


    Retreat!


    As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion in the camp.


    If Liu Xiu leads the army to retreat at this time, it means that he is afraid of Liu Bei. The most important point is that this time we failed, especially because of the epidemic. The next time they attack Jiaozhou, the soldiers will be afraid to fight again. At that time, it will be very difficult to attack Liu Bei.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "for the time being, don''t consider withdrawing."


    Jia Xu said: "if we don''t retreat, we should put all the isolated soldiers to death. Find one, kill one. Only in this way can the epidemic be contained. "


    Liu Xiu big sleeve a brush, way: "no way!"


    According to Jia Xu''s suggestion, killing the sick soldiers will certainly affect the morale of the army.


    Now that the epidemic is spreading, everyone can get sick. At this moment, kill the sick soldiers. In the hearts of the other soldiers who were not ill, they must be worried that if they were infected with the disease?


    At that time, the situation will be more difficult to control.


    Jia Xu added: "the Lord is not willing to kill the soldiers suffering from epidemic diseases. There is another way. All his soldiers suffering from the epidemic went to attack Chen Dao''s camp. As long as they died in Chen''s camp, Chen''s soldiers were infected. Then, Chen Dao will not attack himself. "


    Liu Xiu still shook his head and said, "I will not give up my soldiers."


    Jia Yu''s suggestion is to give up the sick soldiers. But once he gave up, what would Liu Xiu do if he encountered a similar situation in the future? Do you still give up?


    Until the last moment, Liu Xiu will not give up his soldiers.


    "Alas..."


    Jia Xu shook his head and sighed, "Lord, I can''t help it."


    In the camp, everyone looked serious.


    Today''s situation is not optimistic.


    Liu Xiu said: "if the doctors in our camp can''t make diagnosis and treatment, they should look around. There has always been a miasma in Cangwu County, but the people in these places live well. On the one hand, they are physically adaptable. On the other hand, there are definitely doctors. Now, send someone to search the doctor quietly and treat the sick soldiers. "


    "No!"


    When they were ordered, they didn''t persuade any more.


    ¡­¡­


    Jiaozhou army, barracks!


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    When Chen arrived in town, he arranged the whole camp tightly.


    Even if Liu Xiu killed tens of thousands of soldiers, Chen Dao was not afraid.


    Chen Dao sat at the top, listening to the news reported by the soldiers.


    The soldier said, "general, today, Liu Xiu sent Huang Hu to fight again. In accordance with your instructions, the soldiers launched random arrows and drove the yellow tiger away. "


    Chen Dao nodded and said, "not bad! Keep in mind that anyone is ordered to fight. "


    "No!"


    The soldiers were ordered to fight.


    Chen Dao knows Huang Hu''s martial arts. This guy can capture Zhang Fei alive and defeat Guan Yu. His martial arts is extremely fierce. Under such circumstances, taking the initiative to fight is tantamount to asking for nothing.Chen Dao is waiting for Liu Xiu''s troops to show their flaws.


    Once Chen Dao sees the opportunity, he will go down the mountain like a fierce tiger and take the initiative to attack.


    Chen to the front of the conversation, and asked: "these days, Liu Xiu''s barracks, can be abnormal?"


    The soldier shook his head and said, "it''s still normal."


    Chen Dao waved his hand and said, "I know. Go down."


    After the soldiers retired, Chen Dao sat alone in the camp and thought about the next strategy. He also received the news from Guangxin county. When Shi Yi was not dead, Liu Bei ordered him to wait and see.


    Chen was also surprised.


    At that time, Chen Dao heard the shouting that Shi Yi was killed, but it was just a fake.


    Now Shi Yi has gone back, which makes Chen Dao quite cruel. In Liu Bei''s letter, he didn''t blame him, but told him to be careful of Liu Xiu. But the more so, the more ashamed Chen was, and he summoned up his spirit to defeat Liu Xiu and repay Liu Bei for his kindness.


    "Hoo


    Chen Dao stood up and went outside the camp.


    Out of the camp, Chen Dao took a pro guard and went to the gate of the camp.


    Chen Dao wants to go to the nearby highland and look at the layout of Liu Xiu''s camp. Although Liu Xiu''s layout is meticulous, he will not show any flaws. But what if something changes?


    Chen Dao can''t miss any chance.


    When Chen arrived at the gate of the camp and turned to the west of the camp, he suddenly stopped. He turned to face Liu Xiu''s camp, with a trace of joy in his eyes.


    A soldier standing guard opposite suddenly fainted.


    When the soldier fainted, Chen Dao obviously saw that the soldiers around him were afraid to step forward and looked scared.


    Epidemic!


    The epidemic broke out!


    Chen Dao can be sure that it was not the soldiers who suffered from heatstroke or other symptoms. His eyes were fixed on him. Soon, a team of doctors and medical staff with masks came out of the camp of Jingzhou army, carrying the fallen soldiers back to the camp.


    "Go back to camp."


    Instead of going to the nearby Highlands, Chen went back to the camp.


    After taking his seat, Chen told his subordinates to discuss business in the future.


    After everyone arrived, Chen said in a deep voice: "all along, Liu Xiu''s camp layout is rigorous. We don''t even have a chance. But now, the opportunity is here. When general Ben left the camp just now, he saw that some of Liu Xiu''s soldiers had fainted on the ground. It can be seen from this that Liu Xiu''s army had an epidemic. "


    Brush!


    The rest of the generals also showed their joy one after another.


    Once infected with the disease, it is basically the result of death. Now Liu Xiu''s army is in a state of emergency. Even if they don''t fight in this war, they will win.


    "Now, we have three things to do," Chen said


    "First, we should send people to publicize the harm of the epidemic and the fact that the epidemic is incurable. As long as the news reaches Liu Xiu''s camp, the sick soldiers know that they can''t be cured and can only wait to die, and they will naturally lose control. As for Jingzhou soldiers who are not ill, they will also be afraid of this incident and dare not fight any more. "


    "Second, Liu Xiu''s soldiers have an epidemic, which means that it can''t be stopped. Now, we have to retreat ten miles to avoid contact with the Jingzhou army. "


    "Third, from today on, we should also take strict precautions against epidemics."


    Chen said in a deep voice, "if Liu Xiu''s soldiers get sick, we have a chance. Now, we just need to wait for Liu Xiu''s army to collapse or retreat. This is the opportunity. "


    The generals below all nodded yes.


    Chen Dao suddenly said: "of course, we can''t rule out the fact that the soldiers fainted on the ground. Maybe Liu Xiu did it on purpose. It''s a trap to lure us to attack. But no matter what, as long as we don''t take action and step back ten miles to stop, Liu Xiu will never be able to do anything


    At this point, Chen Zhi''s eyes became more and more excited, and said: "everyone, the opportunity has come. Now, it depends on whether we can grasp it. Would you like to beat Liu Xiu with me


    "I''ll wait for you!"


    Everyone''s eyes twinkled with excitement when they heard the words.


    Since his rise in Jingzhou, Liu Xiu has gone through many big wars and small battles, but he has never been defeated. As long as they follow Chen Dao to defeat Liu Xiu, they can also become famous all over the world.

 Chapter 454

    The news of Chen''s ten li retreat soon reached Liu Xiu''s ears.


    In this regard, Liu Xiu can only sigh.


    Liu Xiu already knew the news that the soldiers on guard at the gate of the camp had fallen. Chen Dao''s sudden retreat of ten miles is obviously based on this news.


    Chen Dao knew that there was an epidemic in the army, so he took the initiative to withdraw.


    The situation is getting worse.


    In Liu Xiu''s heart, he was also nervous. He knew that Chen Dao took the initiative to withdraw, on the one hand to avoid being infected by the epidemic, and on the other hand to wait for the spread of the epidemic in his army.


    But knowing this, Liu Xiu had no choice.


    Because, for the time being, there is no solution.


    If we want to solve the problem, we must solve the problem of epidemic disease in order to resolve the current crisis.


    In fact, Liu Xiu is also glad.


    After seeing through it, Chen Dao did not take the initiative to attack, whether he was afraid of falling into a trap or being infected. Once Chen Dao adopted the strategy of strong attack, the war broke out. At that time, the epidemic situation in Liu Xiujun will be even more uncontrollable. Of course, such a strategy is also likely to cause Chen Dao''s own army to be infected, so Chen Dao''s choice is to be safe and set up camp ten miles back.


    In the camp, Liu Xiu looked at the news in the newspaper and was particularly disappointed. None of the doctors who made the diagnosis and treatment made progress. Infectious diseases are still incurable or even suppressed.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, Huang Hu appeared outside the big tent.


    "Master Zhang Zhongjing came in quickly," he said


    "Good! Good! Here it is at last. " Liu Xiu was so excited that he asked, "where have you been?"


    Huang Hu said, "it''s half an hour away from the camp."


    Liu xiudao: "go, follow me to meet Zhong Jinggong."


    Huang Hu said: "Lord, Doctor Zhang himself is coming. Now go to meet him, and then go back to the camp together. Aren''t you doing too much?"


    Liu Xiu said: "after meeting, you can go on the road and discuss things at the same time. Time is urgent. If we can save a little more time, we can give our soldiers a chance of life. "


    After hearing this, Huang Hu stopped talking.


    In my heart, only admiration.


    He is blessed to have such a Lord.


    Huang Hu said, "I will obey the Lord''s arrangement."


    After they got out of the camp, they sent someone to inform Pang Tong, and then they drove their horses away from the camp and quickly went on their way. Along the way, they rode almost at full speed. They were very fast. In less than two quarters of an hour, they had already met Zhang Zhongjing.


    Zhang Zhongjing and his entourage brought ten old doctors.


    All of us are experienced people.


    All the way down the south, they were all dusty and tired. Seeing Liu Xiu coming to meet him personally, everyone was excited and warm.


    After the meeting, Liu Xiu dismounted, got on Zhang Zhongjing''s carriage, and continued on his way.


    In the carriage, Liu xiudao said: "Mr. Zhong Jing, the situation is quite critical. Nowadays, more and more people are infected with epidemic diseases. If we can''t control it, it''s going to be a hurdle in front of us. "


    Zhang Zhongjing said: "Lord, I can only have a try. After all, I''m not good at epidemics. Besides, epidemics are weird and I''m not proficient in them. "


    Liu Xiu said, "no matter what, you have to have a try."


    Zhang Zhongjing said: "do your best and listen to fate. The old man and his entourage will do their best. It is the responsibility of doctors to save lives and heal the wounded. "


    Liu Xiu nodded, and then said about the current situation in the camp.


    After hearing this, Zhang Zhongjing nodded and said, "the Lord''s arrangement in the camp is correct. Food and drinking water, the arrangement is reasonable. Fortunately, with the Lord''s early preparation, otherwise it would have spread. "


    Liu Xiu said: "even so, there was an epidemic."


    After arriving at the camp, Zhang Zhongjing and his party quickly put on their white doctor''s clothes, put on their masks, carried their medicine boxes and went straight to the isolation area in the camp.


    All the doctors were prepared before they came.


    However, all of them went without hesitation.


    Rescuing the wounded is the duty of doctors.


    Liu Xiu watched outside, waiting for the consultation of Zhang Zhongjing and his party.


    Whether it can be treated depends on the results of Zhang Zhongjing and others.


    It took a long time, and it was almost early in the morning after night. All the doctors dragged their tired bodies out of the isolation area. All the faces look very serious.


    Zhang Zhongjing and his party washed their clothes again, changed their clothes, had a meal in a hurry, and then went to Liu Xiu''s tent shop together.


    The Chinese Army''s big account, take their seats.


    Seeing all the people, Liu Xiu said, "all of you are old men over the age of Huajia. Now, for the sake of the soldiers who are infected with the epidemic disease in the army, you have spared no effort to come from Xiangyang, and you are not afraid of life and death to enter the isolation area. For this friendship, I would like to thank the Lord for his help instead of the soldiers who were infected with epidemic diseases in the army. "Zhang Zhongjing shook his head and said, "my Lord, you don''t have to be like this. If you don''t help yourself, you will be a doctor in vain. It''s my duty to wait. "


    Liu Xiu changed his words and asked, "Mr. Zhong Jing, how is the inspection going?"


    Zhang Zhongjing shook his head and said, "my Lord, the situation is not optimistic."


    Liu xiudao: "in a word, can it be cured?"


    Zhang Zhongjing shook his head and said, "it can''t be cured!"


    Brush!


    Liu Xiu''s face suddenly changed.


    If it can''t be treated, it means that he is really defeated in this war.


    Now the epidemic is still under control, and it is returned to Jingzhou, leaving the isolated soldiers to live and die on their own. This matter will disappear. But in fact, such a practice will eventually lead to the defeat of this war and the collapse of subsequent wars.


    In any case, we cannot fail.


    Zhang Zhongjing continued: "my Lord, although I can''t get a thorough treatment, I have discussed it with others. It''s OK to control procrastination for a while. We are not familiar with the treatment of epidemic diseases, but doctors in Jiaozhou may have mastered the method of treating epidemic diseases. "


    Liu Xiu said: "this has been arranged for a long time. The news in return is that the disease is difficult to treat, and once it is infected, it will have to wait for death. "


    "Alas..."


    Zhang Zhongjing sighed, and his haggard face was full of shame.


    The soldiers who were unable to cure the epidemic were distressed; they were ashamed that they were unable to solve Liu Xiu''s problems.


    Zhang Zhongjing continued: "Lord, we can put it off for a while. During this period, we will try our best to find a cure for the disease. However, the Lord can not give up and should continue to seek doctors. "


    Liu Xiu took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Zhongjing, don''t worry. I won''t give up. Zhugong, it''s hard work all the way. In particular, once the Lord arrived at the barracks, he kept on diagnosing the patients and worked hard. It''s late at night. When the LORD goes back, he will have a rest early. He will have a rest first, and then he will think about the solution. "


    "No!"


    After hearing this, they left.


    After everyone left, Liu Xiu was the only one left in the big account.


    Liu Xiu had a dignified look on his face and was full of worries. In this war, Liu Xiu did not expect that the soldiers in the army would be infected with epidemic diseases, which made him headache.


    "General, I have a message from Mr. Deng."


    Suddenly, the voice of the soldiers came to mind outside the tent.


    Liu xiudao: "come in!"


    The curtain of the battalion commander''s door rolled up, and a royal guard quickly came in. After bowing, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Xiu. Then he stood respectfully.


    Liu Xiu took the letter, opened it and quickly scanned it.


    With a cursory glance, Liu Xiu had an excited look in his eyes.


    Help!


    In the news from Deng Zhan, it was mentioned that there was a Taoist priest named qingxuzi in Guangxin County, Cangwu County, who knew how to crack the epidemic. In fact, the reason why Deng Zhan sent the letter was that when he learned that the front-line war was bad, he knew the cause and effect, and began to search with all his strength.


    Unexpectedly, it really made him search the information.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were excited. Unexpectedly, the news from Deng Zhan played a big role at the critical moment.

 Chapter 455

    Qingxuzi!


    This man is a Taoist, in a Taoist temple called Qingxu mountain.


    Qingxu mountain, 80 miles northwest of Guangxin County, is already on the border of Guangxin County, almost bordering Lipu County. This position, now occupied by Liu Xiu, is under Liu Xiu''s control.


    Liu Xiu was overjoyed and finally had hope.


    As long as we can succeed, all the problems can be solved.


    "Somebody


    Liu Xiu gave a low drink, and a soldier came in.


    Liu Xiu said, "please Pang Tong and Jia Xu."


    "No!"


    The soldier was ordered to turn and retreat.


    After a short time, Pang Tong and Jia Xu came to the camp with sleepy eyes.


    Pang Tong yawned and asked, "is it Zhang Zhongjing who came to see us so late?"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "Zhong Jinggong and others can temporarily delay time and suppress the disease, but they can''t cure it. I brought you here because I just received the news from Deng Zhan that he has found someone who can cure the epidemic. "


    Pang Tong was inspired and said, "really? That''s great. "


    For a moment, the sleepiness in the brain disappeared completely.


    Jia Xu also had a smile on his face and said: "as long as the threat of epidemic disease can be solved, this battle will be sure to win."


    Jia Xu is sure to defeat Zhao Yun when his soldiers are infected with the disease.


    The premise is to give up the soldiers infected with the disease.


    However, Liu Xiu did not want to use the soldiers infected with the disease, so Jia Xu had no choice. But now that the problem has been solved, Jia Xu''s worries can finally be put down.


    "Deng Zhan gave the location and people, the location at the junction of Guangxin county and Lipu County," Liu said. This evening, Huang Hu and I were on our way all night. To invite you here is to arrange things after I leave. "


    Pang Tong said: "Lord, it''s just inviting people. You don''t have to go there in person."


    Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Shiyuan, when it comes to this war, you need the Lord to go in person to show his sincerity. This time, you can''t fail. So the Lord himself is the best choice. The only thing to pay attention to is the safety of the Lord. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "don''t worry, I will pay attention."


    After a pause, Liu xiudao said, "after I leave, the barracks will be handed over to you. When something happens, you two will discuss and decide. Once there is something that cannot be decided, Wenhe will make a decision. "


    Compared with Jia Xu, Pang Tong is still a little tender.


    This has nothing to do with the time of following Liu Xiu. It has something to do with his own experience.


    Pang Tong said, "don''t worry, Lord. Wenhe and I will deal with the affairs in the camp."


    Jia Xu also had a touch of emotion in his heart. He said, "I will live up to my Lord''s trust."


    After Liu Xiu arranged to go down, he waved his hand to let them go down to have a rest, and then called Huang Hu. They rode on their horses and quietly left the camp, and then went back all the way.


    One night rush, to the next morning morning, sunrise, two people have walked half the way. Liu Xiu and Huang Hu stop to eat, eat dry food, drink water, and rest for two quarters of an hour. They go on.


    Towards noon, they finally arrived at Qingxu mountain.


    This area is not as bad as the environment in Guangxin county.


    Liu Xiu took Huang Hu to ask the way and walk. He finally came to the Taoist temple on Qingxu mountain.


    Standing outside the door, Liu Xiu was relieved.


    It''s finally here!


    I didn''t sleep all night. I rushed all night and finally got here.


    Huang Hu went forward and knocked on the door.


    A moment later, a Taoist boy in a Taoist robe, about 11 or 12 years old, opened the door and said, "benefactor, you are so polite. I don''t know what you need to do when you come to Qingxu mountain."


    Liu Xiu took the initiative to step forward, arched his hand and said, "I''m going to visit Liu Xiu, the Taoist priest of qingxuzi in Jingzhou."


    "Wait a minute."


    The Taoist said, turned around and ran away quickly.


    "Lord, if the Taoist priest Lao Shizi doesn''t know the current affairs, he will be tied up directly and then brought back to the barracks," he said


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "tiger, you are not allowed to act rashly without my orders. This time, it''s for the lives of the soldiers in the army. If you do something wrong, don''t blame me for punishing you. "


    "Yes


    Huang Hu nodded, but he made plans in his heart.


    If it''s a bull nosed Taoist who doesn''t know the current affairs, don''t blame his fists for not recognizing people.


    "Oh, as soon as Lao Dao came to the door, he heard someone say that he wanted to use his fist. I''m afraid this man is too old to fight. "


    A clear voice sounded in the door.


    The door of the Taoist temple was opened, and Liu Xiu saw an old Taoist with a clear face and a strong spirit. It was qingxuzi who came. He was about sixty years old. His gray hair was carefully combed, and his three long whiskers swayed in the wind. A pair of eyes, vast and profound, through the wisdom of seeing through the world.Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "I''ve met Taoist priest Qingxu."


    Qingxuzi raised his right hand and brushed the dust in his hand. His left hand stood upright in front of his chest and said, "Liu Jingzhou is polite."


    Liu Xiu also said: "Taoist priest Qingxu, my subordinates are simple, honest, upright, driven and rude. Please forgive me." After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "Huzi, don''t apologize to Taoist priest Qingxu."


    Huang Hu snorted and said, "Taoist priest Qingxu, I''m so offended. Please forgive me."


    Qingxuzi said with a smile, "the old Taoist can''t beat you, and he can''t beat Liu Jingzhou. So, the old Taoist accepted your apology. "


    With that, qingxuzi swung his hand and said, "Liu Jingzhou, please."


    "Taoist priest, please!"


    Liu Xiu nodded and stepped into the Qingxu Taoist temple.


    Liu Xiu and qingxuzi walked together. In a twinkling of an eye, they came to the backyard Hall of the Taoist temple and sat down.


    Huang Hu stood behind Liu Xiu and closed his eyes.


    Qingxuzi took a look at Huang Hu and said in a deep voice: "this tiger under Liu Jingzhou is not very simple. His martial arts are unparalleled, and his murderous spirit is unparalleled. It''s just right to fight for Liu Jingzhou. "


    Liu Xiu said: "Taoist priest Qingxu is flattered. This boy''s martial arts is really extraordinary, but he is also impulsive."


    Qingxuzi laughed and said, "no gold is perfect, no man is perfect."


    But Liu Xiu was unwilling to say more. As soon as the words changed, he turned to the epidemic. He took the initiative to say, "Taoist priest Qingxu, to tell you the truth, I''m here to ask Taoist priest for help."


    "What''s the matter?"


    Qingxuzi raised his hands and asked with a smile.


    Liu Xiuse said: "in the lower army, some soldiers were attacked by miasma and became infected with epidemic disease. The doctors in the army are helpless, and the soldiers are dying. Please raise your hand to help them. "


    When qingxuzi heard the speech, he put the dust in his hand aside, sat upright, and his face became serious. He said: "the two armies are fighting, one is Liu Jingzhou, the other is Liu Jiaozhou. Both Liu Jingzhou and Liu Jiaozhou are royal families. But which one should Lao Dao help


    Liu Xiu asked: "Taoist priest Qingxu thinks which side is worth helping?"


    He stared at qingxuzi, and his eyes also showed a look of examination.


    Judging from what qingxuzi said just now, this qingxuzi is not as simple as a simple Taoist. At least, I have some ambition and ability in my heart.


    Qingxuzi laughed and said, "the old Taoist helped us. Naturally, we are predestined friends."


    In a word, Huang Hu is staring big eyes, eyes murderous.


    In Huang Hu''s view, the word "predestined person" is just a prevarication, which is totally untrustworthy.


    Liu Xiu pondered for a while, but suddenly said: "tiger, you go outside the hall and wait. You are not allowed to enter the hall or anyone without my order."


    "No!"


    Huang Hu stood up and looked at qingxuzi again.


    The eyes seemed to say that if you dare to be disrespectful to the Lord, I will kill you.


    Qingxuzi looks as usual, calm, a school of master bearing. He looked calm and quietly waiting for Huang Hu to leave the hall.

 Chapter 456

    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "dare to ask long, what is fate?"


    Qingxuzi said with a smile: "at this time, at this place, we met. That''s the one who''s predestined. "


    "Ha, Taoist Qingxu is really humorous."


    Liu Xiu chuckled and his eyes relaxed. At this moment, it is he who talks with qingxuzi. He is the one who is predestined upon, not others. Liu Xiushen took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and said: "in this way, you will be the Taoist priest of Qingxu."


    Qingxuzi shook his hand to brush the dust and said, "wait a minute, there''s something else to say."


    Liu xiudao: "Taoist priest, please say it."


    Qingxuzi said: "it''s reasonable for Lao Dao to help Liu Jingzhou. However, Lao Dao hoped that he could give some preferential treatment to Taoism under Liu Jingzhou, so that Taoism would not lose its inheritance. It can''t be said that Confucianism is better than Taoism, and Taoism is better than home. Different periods and different situations have different effects. "


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he had a bright smile on his face.


    As long as qingxuzi has the will, it will be easy to persuade qingxuzi to go down the mountain to treat the soldiers.


    Liu Xiu said: "Taoist priest Qingxu asked his official to give preferential treatment to Taoism. Who is the leader of Taoism? If the Confucianists under the command of this official are the leaders, they are undoubtedly the mentor of Pang Degong. If Taoist priest Qingxu wants to revive Taoism and let Taoist scholars become officials, I''m afraid it''s not just the preferential treatment given by his own officials, but also the talent. "


    Qingxuzi said, "the old Taoist will arrange this later."


    Liu xiudao: "Taoist priest Qingxu has missed the most important thing."


    "What''s the matter?" Qingxuzi asked.


    Liu Xiuse said: "just now, I said that Confucianism has leaders, and Taoism also needs leaders. This person, not ordinary people can afford. You know, my mentor Pang Degong was assassinated. "


    After hearing this, qingxuzi also understood Liu Xiu''s intention.


    He went down the mountain to help Liu Xiu.


    He is the leader.


    This is the condition of both sides!


    Qingxuzi, however, was somewhat reluctant. The reason why he put forward the conditions was that since Dong Zhongshu proposed to respect Confucianism alone, Confucianism has become the mainstream, and other Taoists, Legalists, Mohists and other schools have been silent, or they have all acted in the guise of Confucianism.


    As a Taoist, qingxuzi didn''t want Taoism to be annihilated.


    Therefore, this condition is put forward.


    But he didn''t want to get involved in the world, and didn''t want to go down the mountain.


    Qingxuzi said, "Liu Jingzhou, Taoism has its own people. The old Taoist just hopes that Liu Jingzhou will give some preferential treatment when he meets a Taoist taxi. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "Taoist, if there is no leader in the family''s words. Can you hold it up? Therefore, I hope that Taoist priest can help me down the mountain. At that time, the Taoist priest will be able to gather Taoist scholars with his own prestige. "


    "The Taoist School of governing by doing nothing is highly respected by our officials."


    "In my official''s eyes, no matter Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, Legalism, etc., as long as they are conducive to the governance of internal affairs, they can adopt them."


    Liu Xiu said: "to set up a family''s opinion, we need a leader. Taoist priest Qingxu, this is you. Without you, the Taoists under my command can hardly survive. "


    After hearing this, qingxuzi understood it.


    Liu Xiu chose him.


    Perhaps, there are better people than qingxuzi, but Liu Xiu''s choice is him.


    Qingxuzi pondered for a long time, and finally nodded his head and said, "OK, Lao Dao accompanies Liu Jingzhou down the mountain." This down the mountain, doomed to no quiet. But qingxuzi didn''t want to see Taoism annihilate, so he could only step into the world by himself.


    Liu Xiu said: "one yard goes to one yard. Let go of the Taoist affairs. Taoist priest Qingxu went down the mountain to treat the disease for the soldiers. I''m here to thank Taoist priest Qingxu for the soldiers in the army. "


    Qingxuzi shook his head and said, "the benevolent can cure the heart. Since the old Taoist has this ability, he can''t help himself."


    Liu xiudao said: "it should not be too late, Taoist priest, we are going to set out."


    Qingxuzi nodded and said, "well, Liu Jingzhou will wait for me for a moment. I''ll get some laundry and pills for soldiers


    Liu Xiu nodded and waited quietly.


    After qingxuzi left the hall, Huang Hu came in soon.


    Huang Hu asked: "Lord, how is the conversation going?"


    Liu Xiu said: "Taoist priest Qingxu has agreed to go down the mountain. He went to get the pills, and then he went down the mountain with us."


    "Good!"


    Huang Hu laughs and finally has a smile in his eyes.


    Less than half a cup of tea, qingxuzi came with a backpack. Behind him was a Taoist. Qingxuzi said, "Liu Jingzhou, let''s go."


    "Taoist priest, please."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and went out.


    Qingxuzi followed, Huanghu and daotong followed.When the party went down the mountain, qingxuzi and daotong took the carriage, while Liu Xiu and Huang Hu still rode. This time, the speed of driving was much slower, but it didn''t stop for a moment.


    It took a whole day to get back to the camp again.


    Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others welcomed him. Jia Xu asked, "Lord, what''s the situation?"


    Liu Xiu said, "someone has been invited."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu asked, "what happened in the barracks?"


    "Everything is as usual, but now the number of people infected with epidemic diseases is growing faster and faster," Jia said


    Liu xiudao said: "if Taoist priest Qingxu comes, it doesn''t matter. There''s no need to worry about the epidemic."


    Immediately, Liu Xiu gave a brief introduction of qingxuzi''s identity, and then called Zhang Zhongjing and his party. When they looked at qingxuzi, they were all polite.


    After all, they can only suppress the epidemic temporarily, but can not cure it.


    On the contrary, qingxuzi has this ability.


    Zhang Zhongjing is the most open-minded, he took the initiative to say: "Qingxu Taoist priest, old Zhang Zhongjing. It is admirable that Taoist priest can cure epidemic disease. Just don''t adjust, this prescription, whether let Laojiu and Xiangyang hospital colleagues know. Old age is not for personal embezzlement, but for Jingzhou and the people of the world. "


    Qingxuzi said with a smile: "of course, when the disease of soldiers in the army is cured, the old Taoist will tell you the prescription."


    "Thank you very much."


    Zhang Zhongjing has a bright smile in his eyes.


    Qingxuzi said, "Doctor Zhang, please lead the way."


    "Please


    As soon as Zhang Zhongjing waved his hand, he took qingxuzi to the isolation area.


    Liu Xiu and Huang Hu did not follow, but went back to the camp and lay down to rest. He and Huang Hu went to Qingxu mountain and stayed up for two nights without sleeping.


    Now back to the camp, finally can sleep safely.


    When Liu Xiu woke up, he washed and changed his clothes. Then he called for the soldiers to ask. He found out that he had been sleeping all afternoon, and the treatment was over.


    Liu Xiu directly ordered him to go down and invite qingxuzi, Zhang Zhongjing and others to discuss the matter.


    Soon the crowd gathered in the camp.


    Liu Xiu looked concerned and asked, "after taking the medicine, what''s the situation?"


    Zhang Zhongjing took the words and said on his own initiative: "report back to my Lord. After using the pills of Taoist priest Qingxu, the soldiers'' symptoms have begun to ease. Taoist priest Qingxu is really familiar with epidemic diseases, and he can easily find out the treatment plan. He diagnosed all the patients and then divided them into different groups, each with different drugs. After all the drugs went down, they soon had an effect. "


    Qingxuzi said modestly: "the pharmacology is very simple. Give Doctor Zhang a little time, and you will understand it soon. As long as we have an insight into the epidemic situation, it is not difficult to treat it. Doctor Zhang, I exaggerate the ability of Lao Dao. I''m just familiar with it. "


    Liu xiudao said: "no matter what, the merit of Taoist Qingxu is still indispensable. Taoist priest Qingxu and I came together from Qingxu mountain. We had a hard time all the way. This afternoon, we were busy dealing with the soldiers'' illness. Taoist priest Qingxu, let''s take a day off to ease our spirits. Shall we talk about things tomorrow? "


    Qingxuzi said with a smile, "thank you for your understanding."


    Liu Xiu ordered people to take qingxuzi down to rest. Then he asked Zhang Zhongjing about the soldiers. He was relieved to learn that the soldiers'' condition was really stable, and that he knew the troops and the way to suit the medicine to the case.


    When Liu Xiu''s worries were gone, he ordered people to invite Jia Xu and Pang Tong to discuss the matter.


    It''s time to plan for a major solution.

 Chapter 457

    Jia Xu and Pang Tong came to the camp, and they took their seats.


    Jia Xu said: "Lord, the epidemic is under control. Taoist priest qingxuzi has asked the soldiers in the camp who are not infected with the epidemic to drink medicine to prevent the disease. Now, the matter has been resolved. Congratulations, Lord


    Liu Xiu said: "it''s too early for Wen he to congratulate. It''s a big day to get Liu Bei''s head."


    Pang Tong diverged and asked, "is it the Lord''s invitation to discuss the attack on Chen Dao?"


    Liu xiudao: "those who know me, Shiyuan also!"


    Pang Tong sat up straight and said slowly, "I have discussed with Mr. Wenhe about the strategy to deal with Chen Dao, and we have a specific plan."


    Liu xiudao: "tell me."


    Pang Tong said: "this time, we plan to take advantage of the opportunity when the soldiers are suffering from an epidemic. What we should do is... "


    Liu Xiu listened carefully. After listening to the whole plan, his face showed a pondering look.


    This plan is a little risky.


    Liu Xiuse said: "the stratagem is good, but some swords are biased. In particular, the premise of the plan is that Chen Dao sent troops. Once Chen arrives, the plan will run aground. "


    Jia Xu said: "my Lord, Chen Dao''s march is indeed quite steady. But in the event of an epidemic, he could not be indifferent. After the news came out, even if Chen Dao was suppressed, his soldiers would not sit by and ignore him. People in the army can''t help themselves. There are things that he can''t do


    Liu xiudao: "this is the truth, but we have to guard against it. Since we want to push forward this plan, we should add another fire to make Chen Dao''s generals excited. Only when they are moved can Chen have to send troops. "


    Jia Xu thought it over carefully and said, "what do you plan to do?"


    Liu Xiu said: "it''s Huang Hu''s responsibility to motivate Chen Dao''s generals. Specifically, we can do this... " Immediately, Liu Xiu gave a brief account of his ideas.


    Jia Xu and Pang Tong nodded and agreed.


    Liu Xiu called Huang Hu and ordered him carefully.


    With a smile, Huang Hu patted his chest and said, "don''t worry, my Lord. I will guarantee to finish the task. You wait for the good news."


    With that, Huang Hu left the big account.


    He summoned the soldiers, stepped on the horse, carried two golden hammers, and drove them out of the camp with a group of soldiers. He went straight to the Jiaozhou army camp ten miles away.


    "Da! Dada


    The sound of the horse''s hooves was rapid, and the party soon came to Chen Dao''s camp.


    Huang Hu leads the army to fight, which is a common thing. He comes every three to five.


    Huang Hu stood outside the camp and put on a posture.


    "Chen Dao, uncle Huang is here again today. If you have the guts, you can come out for a fight?"


    "Don''t worry, uncle Huang doesn''t kill people. When you come out to fight, uncle Huang won''t bully you either. He only uses one golden hammer, not two golden hammers. "


    "Uncle Huang is in a good mood today. I promise I won''t kill you."


    "Chen to children, dare to fight."


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Huang Hu''s loud voice reverberated in the camp. More and more ugly calls came from Huang Hu''s mouth. The swearing not only insulted Chen Dao, but also affected the eighteen generations of his ancestors.


    In the camp of Jiaozhou army, the Chinese army has a big account.


    Chen Dao is dealing with military affairs. He has long been used to Huang Hu''s challenge.


    Such a thing is not enough to move him.


    However, Chen Dao can be calm, but his generals can''t.


    One by one, they came to the camp and asked to fight.


    Chen Dao looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Huang Hu is born with divine power. Two drums, urn and gold hammers are invincible. Which one of you can win? If anyone could win, they would have agreed to send out troops. "


    All the people wilted and did not speak again.


    All of a sudden, one of the generals said, "general, although we are not as good as Huang Hu, Huang Hu is just a strong man and can''t resist our army. The general can mobilize the army to kill Huang Hu first and then Liu Xiu''s camp. Now, Liu Xiu''s camp is suffering from epidemic disease and has weak fighting capacity. It''s a good time to attack. "


    Chen shook his head and said, "it''s not the best time to send troops yet, so I will ignore Huang Hu."


    "Spies report that the number of casualties in Liu Xiu''s camp is still increasing every day. This shows that Liu Xiujun''s epidemic has not been brought under control and is still spreading


    "As long as the epidemic is not under control for a day, we will not send troops."


    "On the one hand, we procrastinate. Once Liu Xiu can''t stand it, he will withdraw his troops automatically; on the other hand, when Liu Xiu can control his illness, that moment is the weakest time for Liu Xiu, and it''s not too late to attack again."


    After Chen finished, he said, "do you understand?"


    "I see!"


    The general answered sparsely, his voice was wilting, and he was very subdued.Huang Hu was blocked at the gate, let Huang Hu drink abuse, their mood can be imagined.


    As soon as they left the camp, they went to work separately.


    Jiang Huan was quite unwilling. He got out of the tent and went to the gate of the camp. Jiang Huan was a general of Chen Dao''s army. He was a small leader in the army.


    He is arrogant and can''t see Huang Hu.


    However, Jiang Huan also knew that if he could not win the battle against Huang Hu, he would only die to challenge him.


    Jiang Huan''s idea is very simple. He fights Huang Hu in groups.


    Although the yellow tiger has three heads and six arms, and has great ability, no matter how powerful the yellow tiger is, it can''t stand the siege of countless soldiers. At the end of the day, Huang Hu is sure to run away.


    Unfortunately, Chen did not adopt the suggestion of besieging Huang Hu.


    Jiang Huan came to the gate of the camp, looking at the yellowtiger shouting outside the camp, his teeth itching with anger.


    "Let you be arrogant for a few days. When Liu Xiu''s soldiers are almost dead, see how arrogant you are. At that time, even you will be infected with the disease, and that would be the best. "


    Jiang Huan cursed in his heart and looked forward to it in his eyes.


    If Huang Hu was infected with the disease, it would be great. It would be like breaking Liu Xiu''s arm.


    Outside the camp, Huang Hu was cursing vigorously.


    He waved the golden hammer in his hand, which was quite arrogant. The golden hammer of the drum jar in his hand pointed to the camp and roared: "Chen Dao, my son, your yellow father is waiting for you here, how can you still..."


    At this point, Huang Hu suddenly widened his eyes and stopped his voice.


    The gold hammer of the drum jar fell down and hit the ground.


    Huang Hu''s body stayed on the horse for a moment, then fell down and fell to the ground.


    This scene scared the accompanying soldiers into chaos. One by one quickly came forward, hurriedly raised the yellow tiger, picked up the drum urn gold hammer, and quickly withdrew.


    When Jiang Huan saw this scene in the camp, his eyes were very happy.


    Oh, my God!


    God must have heard what he said and let Huang Hu fall.


    Jiang Huan turned and went to the camp. He bowed to Chen Dao and said, "general, I saw Huang Hu fainting on the ground just now. At that time, the accompanying Jingzhou soldiers withdrew in a panic. The end will think that the yellow tiger must have been infected with the disease, and now it broke out. Huang Hu is ill. Liu Xiu is a tiger without teeth. Now, it''s a good opportunity to send troops. "


    Chen Zhi said, "if this is Liu Xiu''s plan to lure us to send troops?"


    Jiang Huan thought carefully for a moment and said, "it''s easy to verify this news. We''ll wait two days before we send our generals to fight. One by one, to see if the yellow tiger fight. If Huang Hu goes to war, it proves that this is indeed a trick to lure us to send troops. If Huang Hu didn''t fight, it would prove that he was really infected with the disease. "


    After a pause, Jiang Huan said, "even the yellow tiger is infected with the disease. It can be imagined how serious the disease is in Liu Xiujun''s army. At this time, it is suitable to send troops. "


    Chen Dao was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "your analysis is reasonable."


    Jiang Huan said, "general, you can have a try."


    Chen Dao thought that all the generals in the army were holding their breath, so he stopped and said, "I would have agreed to this. Two days later, Ben will personally take people to the battlefield to try out the situation. "


    Jiang Huan said with great joy: "the general is wise!"


    Chen Dao waved his hand and said, "don''t flatter. Go down and get ready."


    "No!"


    Jiang Huan was very happy. When he came out of the camp, he looked up at the blue sky, and went to his camp with a smile and an unknown song.

 Chapter 458

    Jingzhou army, in the camp.


    After being carried back to the camp by the soldiers, Huang Hu didn''t rush to jump around immediately. Instead, after he entered the camp, he pushed aside the soldiers'' support and yelled: "it''s a real pleasure, but it''s a pity that he didn''t fight."


    "Hoo


    The curtain of the tent door rolled up and Liu Xiu, Pang Tong and Jia Xu came in.


    Huang Hu said: "my Lord, I did well today. I fell off my horse and didn''t use my hand to resist. This time, Chen Dao will definitely be cheated. "


    Liu xiudao: "yes, yes, who are we? Naturally, Chen Dao can be deceived. "


    Pang Tong said, "General Huang, don''t leave your camp these days. Even the Lord will visit you frequently."


    Huang Hu was not happy, he said: "Pang Jun division, why don''t you let me out of camp? The acting is over. Now I''m waiting for Chen to come, and I''m still in such trouble. "


    Pang Tong said, "if Chen Dao sends someone to inquire and finds out that you are alive and kicking around, it''s not a failure."


    After hearing this, Huang Hu nodded his head: "well, if so, I won''t go out for the time being."


    Pang Tong said: "General Huang knows the truth, I admire him! I admire you


    "Average! General


    Huang Hu smiles and looks quite complacent.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Hu Zi, we must pay attention these two days. Don''t show up at will. I won''t say anything more. Just stay in the camp. "


    "No!"


    Huang Hu laughs and holds his fist.


    Liu Xiu left the barracks with Pang Tong and Jia Xu and returned to the Chinese army.


    Two days, fleeting.


    In the camp, the day-to-day handling of corpses to leave the camp is still going on, and the atmosphere of the camp is gloomy.


    "Dong! Dong


    The battle drums suddenly sounded outside the camp.


    When Liu XiuXiu was dealing with military affairs in the camp, he suddenly heard the sound of battle drums and stood up to walk to the gate of the camp. When Liu Xiu came to the gate of the camp, Pang Tong and Jia Xu also came. All the generals under his command arrived, but Huang Hu didn''t appear.


    Soon the drums stopped.


    Outside the camp, Chen Dao led the troops in formation.


    Chen Dao''s eyes swept over the camp, sharp eyes swept, saw Liu Xiu, but did not see Huang Hu.


    In Chen Dao''s mind, there is a simple guess.


    However, Chen Dao had to take a vow. He carried a gun and drove the horse out. The tip of the gun pointed at the barracks and roared: "Liu Xiu, this will be here. How dare you fight?"


    "How dare you fight?"


    Jiang Huan led his troops behind him and immediately echoed Chen Dao''s words.


    "How dare you fight?"


    "How dare you fight?"


    The soldiers began to shout, their voice strong and high spirited, but also full of passion and provocation.


    These soldiers are all elite under Chen Zhi''s command. One by one, he looked at Chen daofawei, just like beating chicken blood, whistling excitedly.


    Pang Tong stood beside Liu Xiu and said with a smile, "my Lord, this is to investigate the situation of Huang Hu."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "that''s what he wanted."


    Liu Xiu looked at the generals under his command and asked, "who is willing to fight and take Chen Dao for me?"


    "The end will be willing to go."


    Shamoko came out with a mace in his eyes.


    Liu Xiu said, "be careful, Chen Dao."


    Shamoko patted his chest and said, "don''t worry, my Lord. I will defeat Chen Dao." Shamoko didn''t know Chen Dao''s martial arts. He wanted to win the first World War. He turned over and rode on the horse and killed him.


    "Chen Dao Xiao''er, take your life!"


    Less than three feet away from Chen, shamoko had already raised his mace.


    "Kill


    With a roar, the mace fell down. The roaring sound is accompanied by the wolf tooth stick, and the sound is shocking.


    Chen Dao clenched the barrel of the gun and made a sudden effort.


    The spear shot like a dragon, and quickly went forward. The tip of the spear "Ding" hit the mace. A force burst out. The mace was knocked into the air and stopped for a moment. Then it deflected and fell from Chen Zhi''s side.


    "Just a barbarian."


    With a sarcastic sound, Chen Dao pokes out his gun and goes straight to shamoko''s heart.


    This shot was even and steady, and it went straight to the middle line.


    One shot down, it looks ordinary, but it is the most difficult move to resist.


    Shamoko was about to attack Chen Dao, but he could only resist the shooting. The mace was across his chest. When he wanted to resist, Chen Dao changed his search again. The tip of the gun turned in the air, swung the gun and smashed it down.


    "Boom!"


    The barrel of the gun hit on the mace, and the great power burst out, which made shamoko snort.


    The two men fought each other for several moves, but shamoko was extremely subdued.


    He was born with divine power and amazing strength in both hands, but in front of Chen Dao, he couldn''t achieve the effect of Huang Hu''s ten meetings. All his strength couldn''t be exerted and was constrained everywhere."I''ll fight with you!"


    Shamoko roared, swung the mace and hit Chen Dao, but ignored the big gun stabbing at his chest.


    Fight for your life!


    This is the way shamoko plays.


    Chen Dao, however, did not fight hard with shamoko, recruited dexterity, avoided shamoko''s power, and made shamoko in danger. It is the simplest truth to attack the other''s weakness with one''s own strength.


    Less than ten moves, shamoko has been in crisis.


    Liu Xiu looked in his eyes and said, "Mingjin, let shamoko come back."


    "No!"


    The soldier got the order and gave it immediately.


    "Dang! Dang


    The sound of the gong sounded inside and outside the camp. When shamoko heard it, he had to break Chen Dao''s entanglement and drove his horse back. He came to Liu Xiu''s side, arched his hand and said, "Lord, I''m going to disgrace you."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "it''s OK. This is the best result."


    But shamoko had a puzzled look on his face. He didn''t understand what was going on?


    Chen Dao pointed his gun at Liu Xiu and roared, "Liu Xiu, how dare you fight? You don''t dare to fight. Let Huang Hu come. Hahaha, Huang Hu came to challenge him a few days ago. Ben wanted to fight against him. But Huang Hu fainted in the delivery. Alas, it''s really pitiful. If you let him out, you will have a good fight with him and let him have a good time. "


    "Have a fight!"


    Jiang Huan clenched his long gun and roared.


    "Have a fight!"


    "Have a fight!"


    The soldiers in the army followed with a loud cry, and the majestic momentum was awe inspiring.


    Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and listened to the shouting voice outside, with a sneer in his heart.


    Chen Dao pulled out so many soldiers and created such momentum. In fact, he was forcing Huang Hu to fight. As long as the yellow tiger goes to war, it proves that the yellow tiger is not a big problem. It can be concluded that Liu Xiu''s soldiers suffered from the epidemic, at least not too serious. On the contrary, Huang Hu did not fight, and even Huang Hu could not support it. The seriousness of the situation can be imagined.


    Chen Dao used the method of agitation, but Liu Xiu could not easily be deceived.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and ordered: "Archer, prepare!"


    In an instant, a group of archers came forward immediately, and all the soldiers bent their bows and took their arrows, aiming outside the camp.


    "Shoot the arrow!"


    Liu Xiu ordered the archer to let go of the room immediately.


    "Whew! Whew


    One feather arrow shot through the air and went straight to the outside of the camp.


    In a flash, the bow and arrow had reached Chen Dao. Chen Dao''s big gun trembled and shot down all the bows and arrows. But the dense bows and arrows, Chen to can not resist, can only turn the horse back.


    As Chen retreated, he began to smile.


    It seems that Jiang Huan''s inference is correct.


    The epidemic in Jingzhou Junying camp was already very serious, so Huang Hu failed to fight. Chen Dao returned to the front of the army and turned to Liu Xiu''s camp. He was determined.


    Jiang Huan stood beside him and said excitedly, "general, Huang Hu has never been in battle, and Liu Xiu has avoided fighting. From this point of view, the other side is indeed in trouble. Now, it''s a great opportunity to take advantage of the victory. "


    Chen Dao nodded, pointed his long gun at Jingzhou army camp, and roared: "attack!"


    In a word, it ignited the momentum of the soldiers.


    "Kill


    Countless soldiers yelled, and Chen Dao''s soldiers launched a fierce attack.

 Chapter 459

    "Dong! Dong


    The drums of the battle resounded inside and outside the camp.


    Chen Dao''s soldiers charged quickly and went to Liu Xiu''s camp to kill him.


    Liu Xiu said: "Archer, prepare!"


    With an order, all the archers under Liu Xiu came forward and aimed at the outside of the camp.


    "Let it go


    With a command, the archer released his hand, and the bow came out of the string.


    "Whew! Whew


    A plume of arrows shot straight to the incoming enemy soldiers.


    "Puchi! Wheezing


    Dense feather arrows were shot into the soldiers'' bodies, harvesting their lives.


    Liu Xiu retreated with Pang Tong and Jia Xu, and the army was handed over to the commander of the general. At this time, the enemy soldiers rushed up wave by wave and approached the camp.


    When the soldiers approached the camp, the crossbow soldiers appeared in the camp.


    The power of the crossbow is far more than that of the bow and arrow.


    It''s also relatively expensive.


    However, the lethality has increased exponentially. The penetrating power of a crossbow is enough to kill three or five soldiers in a row.


    "Crossbow, shoot!"


    With an order from the school, the bowmen in the camp immediately pulled the trigger.


    "Whew! Whew


    The sharp whistling sound of the crossbow and arrow was like a streamer passing through the air, and in an instant it came to the front of the charging enemy soldiers. The power of the crossbow is incomparable. The moment it hits the body, it directly penetrates the body, and then goes on.


    Where the crossbow went, the soldiers of Jiaozhou fell one after another.


    Chen Dao''s elite were killed and wounded in these battles.


    However, this is not enough for Chen Dao''s soldiers to stop attacking. One by one, the soldiers keep sprinting forward, braved the rain of arrows, and constantly approached the camp.


    It''s only a few hundred steps from the array to the camp.


    But this distance, just like the dividing line of life and death, makes Chen Dao''s soldiers fall one by one.


    Chen to see in the eyes, watching the siege continue.


    He went directly to the bottom of the drum, personally picked up the drumstick, raised his hands and stroked on the drum.


    "Dong! Dong


    The mighty voice came from the war drum. Chen Dao''s strength is extremely powerful. When the drumstick hits the drum, the drum vibrates constantly, and the sound is more exciting.


    Chen Dao personally beat the drum to cheer, and the soldiers under his command were greatly encouraged to push forward.


    Under the impact of wave after wave of soldiers, they kept approaching the camp.


    When Jiaozhou soldiers rushed to the gate of the camp, they were blocked by Jingzhou soldiers in the camp.


    A spear came out and stabbed the charging soldier.


    Blood spattered on the ground.


    A body fell down, accompanied by shouts and shouts, the two sides started fighting at the gate of the camp. After the soldiers were beaten back, they charged again and again.


    At the moment, the gate of the camp is a meat grinder.


    Countless soldiers rushed forward to fight with Jingzhou soldiers.


    Fighting continues.


    Time is slowly passing.


    Liu Xiu in the camp, saw the fighting at the gate of the camp, did not show timidity. All this is part of the plan. Chen Dao acted cautiously. It was impossible to induce him to fall into the trap without paying any price.


    It''s late in the West.


    At this time, at the gate of the camp, the shouts of killing continued one after another.


    On the ground, it was already covered by a corpse. The earth was soaked with the blood, and the whole ground was dyed red. The blood gathered together flows silently like a stream.


    The red glow all over the sky makes the scene bloody and tragic.


    Chen Dao''s eyes narrowed as he looked at Liu Xiu''s camp.


    Today''s attack on the camp, Liu Xiu''s defense showed a trace of weakness. The soldiers under his command killed several times at the gate and almost went in. However, the soldiers of Jingzhou tried to resist, but they still blocked. But the fighting between the two sides, Jingzhou soldiers appeared tired.


    The impact of the epidemic has not dissipated.


    The combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou soldiers has dropped by a large margin.


    In Chen''s eyes, there is a touch of hope.


    As long as Liu Xiu is defeated in this battle, the myth of Liu Xiu''s invincibility will be broken. Even in a year and a half, Liu Xiu would not be able to attack Jiaozhou again. Liu Bei has a chance to buffer and develop his power.


    Chen Zhi ordered: "withdraw, attack again tomorrow."


    With an order, the camp thought of the sound of gongs.


    The soldiers of Jiaozhou, who were rushing forward, heard the news, relaxed their expression and quickly retreated.


    Waves of soldiers retreated, like the tide.


    The pressure on the camp suddenly weakened.


    Shamoko ordered the soldiers to reorganize the army and then came to the Chinese Army''s tent."Lord, it''s time for Chen to withdraw," he reported


    Liu Xiu said, "I see. You go down to appease the soldiers."


    "No!"


    After shamoko retreated, Liu Xiu sent people to invite Pang Tong and Jia Xu to the camp. With a smile on his face, Liu Xiulian said, "we have made Chen Dao send troops with painstaking efforts. With today''s attack, Chen Dao already believes in the severity of the epidemic. Next, we can choose to retreat. "


    Jia Xu said: "my Lord is right. We can withdraw our troops."


    Pang Tong said with a smile, "I really look forward to Chen Dao''s expression after his defeat."


    Liu Xiu also laughed, and now he is full of expectations. As long as Chen Dao is defeated in this battle, Liu Bei''s last line of defense will be completely defeated. Without Chen Dao, Liu Bei will be like a lamb.


    At night, the moon is bright and the stars are dim.


    The camp issued the order of departure, one by one soldiers quickly packed their bags, and then quietly left the camp.


    On the surface, the camp is still bright, but in fact it is empty.


    The next morning, Chen Dao led his troops to attack again. With the beating of war drums, there was no response in the camp. When Chen Dao saw this scene, he immediately sent a song of soldiers to inquire about the news. He learned that the camp was empty and nobody saw it.


    "Withdraw!"


    Chen Dao looked at the huge camp and frowned.


    Liu Xiu withdrew from the attack yesterday.


    Is there anything weird in it?


    Jiang Huan''s heart was full of expectations from the Manchu and Han Dynasties, and he said: "general, Liu Xiu''s withdrawal proves that his soldiers are suffering from epidemic diseases. Now is the time when Liu Xiu is weak. We cover up the past at one stroke and hit Liu Xiu hard. If we can kill Liu Xiu, it will be the best result. Even if you can''t kill Liu Xiu, it''s excellent to defeat him. "


    General a said, "general, I agree with Jiang Huan. It''s not time to lose, it''s time to seize. "


    General B said: "the general is worried about Liu Xiu''s cunning, but Liu Xiu''s soldiers are infected with epidemic disease. This is a natural disaster, and God wants to destroy Liu Xiu. As the saying goes, "If heaven does not take the blame instead of accepting it, the general is now hesitant, but will lose the chance to pursue and kill Liu Xiu."


    The generals in the army persuaded Chen Dao one after another.


    Yesterday, all the generals saw that Liu Xiu''s strength was weak and his fighting capacity was insufficient.


    Under such circumstances, everyone is full of fighting spirit and wants to kill the enemy.


    Looking at the excited eyes of the generals under his command, Chen Dao knew that the morale of the army was so strong that there was no point in his hesitation. Chen Zhi ordered: "Jiang Huan, listen to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Jiang Huan was full of fighting spirit and saluted.


    Chen Zhi said, "I will give you three thousand talents. You will be the pioneer to pursue and kill Liu Xiu first and hold down Liu Xiu''s army."


    "No!"


    Jiang Huan was very happy in his heart. He didn''t expect that such a beautiful job would fall on him.


    Chen Dao then said, "Chen Shi, listen to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Chen Shi, like his name, is like a stone, with no expression on his face. He is a distant relative of Chen Dao, but he is able to gain a foothold under his command because of his own ability.


    Chen Dao said, "I will give you 5000 soldiers. As a right-wing general, go to encircle Liu Xiu''s rear road."


    "No!"


    Chen Shi was ordered to fight.


    Chen then said, "Liu Bo will listen to the order."


    "The end will be here!"


    Liu Bo is quite thin, but his eyes are shining with fine awn, which is not easy to be compared with.


    Chen Dao''s eyes were serious, and he said in a deep voice, "I will give you 5000 talents. As the left wing commander, you will lead the left wing to encircle Liu Xiu."


    "No!"


    Liu Bo''s face was serious.


    "Act!"


    With a wave of Chen Dao''s hand, all the generals under his command took action one by one. These generals took action, and he, as the chief general, led the army to follow closely, closely following the pace of the vanguard army led by Jiang Huan, to cover up Liu Xiu''s army in large quantities.

 Chapter 460

    Liu Xiu led the troops to retreat, and was still inquiring about the rear.


    Only when you know yourself and the other can you win a hundred battles.


    Although Liu Xiu set a trap, but the specific implementation, there are details of the arrangements. Therefore, every step, Liu Xiu is extremely careful not to let the plan go wrong.


    At sunset, the army stopped and began to cook.


    Liu XiuXiu had a meeting with Jia Xu and Pang Tong. Deng Zhan came to Liu Xiu with a happy look.


    "Good news, my Lord," Deng reported


    Liu Xiu asked: "Chen to send soldiers to chase it?"


    Deng Zhandao said: "my Lord is wise. Chen is coming after me. This time, Chen was divided into four armies. The first was the vanguard, with about 3000 people coming first to catch up with us. The second army made a detour from the left side with the intention of intercepting us, giving up about 5000; the third army made a detour from the right side with the intention of intercepting us. The last one was led by Chen Dao himself, followed by the vanguard army, and pursued us head-on. "


    Liu xiuxiao said: "Chen Dao is as cautious as ever."


    Jia Xu said: "no matter whether Chen Dao divides his troops or not, he will definitely lose. Especially after Chen arrived at the division, it weakened his own forces. In this way, it is easier for us to break each one down. "


    Pang Tong said, "what is Mr. Wenhe going to do?"


    Liu Xiu also has a smile in his eyes and a look of expectation.


    Jia Xu said: "since Chen has divided his forces, we will also divide our forces. Compared with Chen Dao''s forces, our forces are stronger and better equipped, enough to defeat each other at one stroke. Then, we''ll pick up Chen. "


    "First, Huang Hu led 8000 elite soldiers to meet Chen Dao''s right-wing soldiers. After defeating each other, he went straight into Chen Dao''s rear and cut off Chen Dao''s back."


    "Second, shamoko led 8000 elite soldiers to meet Chen Dao''s left-wing soldiers. After defeating each other, he quickly joined Huang Hu and cut off Chen Dao''s back road."


    Jia Xu said: "the Lord leads an army to meet Chen Dao''s vanguard. First destroy this vanguard army, and then besiege Chen Dao."


    "Wonderful


    Liu Xiu began to laugh. In this way, a circle was formed.


    Without hesitation, Liu Xiu called Huang Hu and Sha Moke and arranged for them to dispatch troops to leave.


    The army is retreating, and the loss of soldiers can be said to be caused by flight. In particular, it is not difficult to forge the number of soldiers.


    ¡­¡­


    Jiang Huan led 3000 elites on his way, and he was even more proud.


    Finally, I went after Liu Xiu.


    Before Huang Hu constantly provocation, Jiang Huan proposed to fight. Although Huang Hu is powerful, he is a man after all. If it is a single battle, the yellow tiger is invincible, but on the battlefield, a person''s strength is quite small. Under the cover of the army, it was easy enough to kill Huang Hu, but Chen Dao didn''t agree to send troops.


    After Huang Hu fainted, Jiang Huan found the opportunity to persuade Chen to send troops.


    Then, the present situation came into being.


    Jiang Huan insisted on all this.


    Jiang Huan was high spirited and emotional.


    Although Jiang Huan was excited in his heart, he was also a veteran on the battlefield. He was not careless.


    When the army killed him, Jiang Huan sent scouts to inquire about Liu Xiu. While asking for information, he kept chasing. In order to catch up with Liu Xiu, the three thousand elites under Jiang Huan''s command have been rushing day and night, constantly narrowing the distance between the two sides.


    At night, it was dark.


    Team, still on the way.


    "Newspaper!"


    A sentinel came back quickly.


    "What''s the news?" Jiang Huan asked


    The sentinel sat on his horse and said, "report back to general, we have found Liu Xiu''s army. Liu Xiu''s army is 60 miles away from us. "


    Sixty miles!


    Jiang Huan murmured to himself, "Liu Xiu is really a rabbit. He ran away so fast."


    "Keep prying for information!"


    Jiang Huan gave a command, and the sentry stepped down.


    The troops continued on their way. At ten o''clock in the morning, Jiang Huan asked the soldiers to stop and rest for an hour. An hour later, Jiang Huan led his soldiers on their way to shorten the distance between the two sides.


    As soon as the two sides pursued and withdrew, the distance was getting closer, but the distance between Jiang Huan and Chen and his troops was also getting shorter.


    Sixty miles!


    Forty miles!


    Twenty miles!


    The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.


    Especially on the way to catch up, Jiang Huan found many fallen armor and weapons, which made him even more happy. From this point of view, Liu Xiu''s army has been throwing down weapons, light and simple.


    In addition to this news, Jiang Huan also found that the other side buried pot cooking stove also reduced.


    This proves that Liu Xiu''s soldiers are also fleeing.


    All kinds of news made Jiang Huan''s heart hot. He was eager to catch up with Liu Xiu immediately, and then beat him up to kill him.At this time, Jiang Huan''s heart was already extremely hot.


    Jiang Huan led his troops to catch up with him. He was almost at the border of Lipu County and was close to Jingzhou.


    At this time, the distance is constantly narrowing.


    On this day, the soldiers led by Jiang Huan came to a mountain forest. In this place, the mountains are luxuriant and luxuriant. The road to catch up is to pass through the mountains.


    This place is called Tianshi mountain. The mountain is shaped like a lion, so it is called Tianshi mountain.


    If the mountain is not high, it is only 200 feet above sea level.


    The only thing is the ups and downs of the mountains and the long forest.


    When the team arrived outside the forest of Tianshi mountain, Jiang Huan''s first reaction was not to enter the forest. Because entering the forest, there will be many uncertain factors, and even ambush.


    However, Jiang Huan thought of Liu Xiu''s difficult situation, so he put down his guard completely. Liu Xiu is already a lost dog. He keeps running away. How dare he set up an ambush?


    Jiang Huan decided to catch up, but he called for a sentry and asked, "how far is the distance between us and Liu Xiu?"


    The sentry said, "there are about fifteen miles left."


    Jiang Huan asked again, "how far is the distance between this mountain forest?"


    The sentry replied, "report back, general. The forest is about ten miles."


    Jiang Huan looked up at the mountain. He ordered, "take a rest for an hour. Then we go through the forest and catch up with Liu Xiu."


    "No!"


    The sentry went down to deliver the message immediately.


    Jiang Huan stopped outside Tianshi mountain, but he also noticed the situation over Tianshi mountain.


    Over Tianshi mountain, there are no birds hovering, very calm.


    This is exactly the case, proving that there is no ambush in Tianshi mountain. If there is a military ambush in Tianshi mountain, and if there is a military action, the birds in the forest will surely be disturbed, leading to the birds in the forest circling in the air.


    This situation makes Jiang Huan more confident.


    After an hour''s rest, the team continued on their way.


    Three thousand elites entered the inner part of Tianshi mountain. All the way through, the mountain road was flat, and the road in the mountain was four feet wide, so it was not easy to set an ambush.


    Encountering such a situation, Jiang Huan''s heart is more steadfast.


    Team forward, fast forward.


    Ten li mountain road, gradually shorten, has been more than half.


    When the distance out of the forest less than three miles, suddenly, in front of the soldiers heard down. When Jiang Huan was in the middle army, he saw the soldiers in front of him stop and yelled, "what''s the matter? Why did it stop ahead? "


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier rushed back from the front.


    "What''s the matter?" Jiang Huan asked


    With a trace of worry in his expression, the soldier said: "general, ahead, ahead, ahead..." The soldier said three times in a row, but instead of saying it, he got stuck.


    "Waste!"


    Seeing the appearance of the soldiers, Jiang Huan yelled.


    However, in Jiang Huan''s heart, he had a bad feeling.


    What''s going on ahead?


    Jiang Huan quickened his pace, rushed forward quickly, and soon came to the front of the team. He saw the situation in front of him, his eyes widened, and there was an incredible look in his eyes.

 Chapter 461

    In front of Jiang Huan, there is a bronze bell.


    This bronze bell, four feet high, was placed on a stone slab three feet high.


    The soldiers looked at the bell with puzzled looks. There is a bronze bell on the official road. What does that mean?


    A soldier asked, "general, what does that mean?"


    Jiang Huan heard the words and glared at the soldiers.


    Which pot does not open which pot!


    This soldier is a jerk. Do you need to ask such an obvious question?


    Send the clock!


    Farewell!


    Don''t you understand this kind of homophony?


    Jiang Huan stares at the clock, wondering whether it was Liu Xiu who put it here or someone else who left it here? What if it''s a coincidence?


    Jiang Huan pointed to the soldier who had just asked, "go up and have a look. Is there anything around the clock?"


    "No!"


    The soldier was ordered to step forward.


    The soldier came up to the clock and suddenly said, "general, here''s a note."


    Jiang Huan heard the speech and quickly went up.


    He took out the note from the stone slab. Jiang Huan opened it and looked at it. He suddenly widened his eyes, because there were only two words in the note - farewell!


    Brush!


    Jiang Huan''s face became tense.


    If only a bell was placed on the official road, Jiang Huan could not be sure whether it was made by Liu Xiu. But now seeing the two words on the note, Jiang Huan can be sure. It must have been arranged by Liu Xiu.


    It''s a trick!


    There was a little tension in Jiang Huan''s heart,


    "hurry up, rush out of the forest immediately."


    Jiang Huan roared and ordered his soldiers to rush forward immediately, intending to rush out of the forest.


    At the same time, in the forest, Liu Xiu ordered: "let go the arrow!"


    "Whew!"


    A loud arrow went through the woods, and a sharp whistling came out in the air.


    The sound echoed over the mountains.


    In the forest on both sides of the official road of Tianshi mountain, suddenly there are dense archers. All the archers drew bows and arrows, aiming directly at the soldiers on the official road.


    "Whew! Whew


    The dense bows and arrows, like raindrops, shot at the official road.


    After a round of sword rain, a batch of Jiaozhou soldiers fell.


    On both sides of the official road, there were ambushes. Although Jiang Huan''s soldiers lengthened their ranks, they were still within the range of the archers.


    All of us are facing the merciless shooting of bow and arrow.


    Jiang Huan looked at the situation behind him and knew that it was impossible to retreat. There are so many archers in the rear. If they retreat now, they will surely fall into Liu Xiu''s ambush and cannot withdraw from Tianshi mountain.


    The only way is to go forward.


    "Go ahead, go ahead!"


    Jiang Huan roared and ordered that he himself, under the protection of the soldiers, constantly sprint.


    The vanguard soldiers under Jiang Huan''s command, like leeks cut off, died under the bow and arrow one after another.


    However, the team is moving forward rapidly.


    It''s not long. It''s near the edge of Tianshi mountain. You can rush out any further.


    "The road is closed!"


    Suddenly, a loud voice sounded.


    In the front of the official road, a general led the army to kill out. This army belongs to the spearmen. The troops formed a rectangle and blocked the official crossing of Tianshi mountain, blocking the advance of the soldiers under Jiang Huan''s command.


    In the blink of an eye, the two sides have already met.


    A long hair stick out, stabbed into the body of the soldiers in Jiaozhou.


    Blood splashed, rushed in front of the Jiaozhou soldiers all died under the long hair, no one survived.


    The Jiaozhou soldiers under Jiang Huan''s command were all infantry. It was impossible to resist this neat Spearman. In particular, the official road was only a few feet wide. Under such circumstances, the Jiaozhou soldiers had no room to move and escape, and they were killed and kept retreating. But the more backward the soldiers in the rear were, the more they had to bear the bow and arrow.


    Before and after all impassable, Jiang Huan helpless, can only go to both sides of the mountain forest to break through.


    However, as soon as the troops were dispersed, soldiers were killed in the forest, and the soldiers under Jiang Huan''s command were constantly surrounded and killed.


    The whole scene was a one-sided massacre.


    Absolutely overwhelming!


    Jiang Huan felt powerless in his heart.


    Send the clock!


    It''s the end!


    Jiang Huan roared: "General Chen, the last general is wrong. It''s the last general who hurt you."


    With these words, the sword in Jiang Huan''s hand scratched his neck. In an instant, the sword cut his skin and blood vessels. The blood was hot and red and sprayed directly from the neck.


    Boom!


    Jiang Huan''s body suddenly fell down. After he fell to the ground, his body twitched twice, and there was no breath.


    "General Jiang is dead!"At the side of Jiang Huan, a soldier saw it and exclaimed.


    "The general is dead!"


    "General Jiang is dead!"


    One by one, the soldiers yelled, spread the news quickly.


    Jiaozhou soldiers who were still resisting were all confused when they heard the news.


    The commander of Jingzhou army, who led the army to fight, heard the news and immediately said, "those who fall will not be killed!"


    "Those who fall will not be killed!"


    In the mountains, Jingzhou soldiers shout.


    "Those who fall will not be killed!"


    "Those who fall will not be killed!"


    The voice of surrender came out one after another in the mountains. The voice came into the ears of Jiaozhou soldiers who were still resisting, just like the sound of nature. After listening to it, they immediately responded.


    "I''m willing to surrender. Don''t kill me!"


    A Jiaozhou soldier put down his weapon and lay on the ground for fear that he would be killed by bow and arrow.


    "I surrender!"


    "I will surrender!"


    One by one, the state soldiers no longer resisted and threw away their weapons.


    On the official road, there are bodies everywhere.


    Three thousand elite were killed by bows and arrows, with countless casualties.


    With the surrender of the Jiaozhou soldiers, the war began to stop, and the Jingzhou soldiers began to collect weapons, control all the Jiaozhou soldiers, and count the results of the war.


    An hour and a half later, Deng Zhan came to Liu Xiu with the data.


    Deng Zhan looked excited and reported: "Lord, the result of this battle has come out. We have won a great victory."


    Liu Xiu said, "what about the specific data?"


    Deng Zhan looked excited and replied, "we only lost 200 soldiers, and the casualties were not big. On the contrary, Chen Dao''s 3000 elite killed more than 2300 people, captured more than 400 people, and some of them fled. "


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu couldn''t help cheering after hearing the result.


    The success of the ambush was due to the plan of Liu Xiu, Guo Jia and Jia Xu on the one hand, and the fact that the other side belittled the enemy on the other.


    Never enter the forest!


    If the other side stops outside the forest, Liu Xiu will not be able to win.


    Liu Xiu said, "go on, rest for half a day, and then set out to kill."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan got the order, and then went to give the order.


    The army came out of the forest of Tianshi mountain and rested in an open area.


    Liu Xiu looked at Pang Tong and Jia Xu and said, "the first battle of the war of annihilation was won. Now, I don''t know what happened to Huang Hu and shamoko."


    Pang Tong said: "according to the time, there should be news soon."


    Jia Xu replied: "our soldiers are all elite. In addition, Huang Hu and Sha Moke are brave men in the third army. There is no doubt that we will win this war. Don''t worry, Lord. Just wait for the good news. "


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a sentry came running.


    The sentinel came to Liu Xiushen and reported: "my Lord, the victory is reported. General Huang Hu has defeated the enemy''s right-wing army. Now, we are going to cut off Chen to the back road. "


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu caressed his hands and laughed. He was relieved.


    "Good news, good news!"


    Just at this time, another sentry came back with his horse.


    The sentry came to Liu Xiu and reported in a loud voice: "my Lord, general shamoko has defeated the enemy''s left wing army. Now, general shamoko is leading his army to the back road of Chen Dao. "


    "The overall situation has been decided!"


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, his face showed a relaxed smile.


    The victory of the left and right flanks, together with the victory here, resulted in the annihilation of at least ten thousand Chen to nearly ten thousand soldiers.


    Chen Dao''s military strength has been weakened to the greatest extent.


    Liu Xiu looked at the two sentries and said, "go back and spread the message. My officer has defeated Chen Dao''s vanguard and is ready to encircle and annihilate Chen Dao."


    "No!"


    The two Sentinels were so happy that they turned around to deliver the message quickly.


    Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "Lord, now Chen''s left and right wings have been wiped out, and so has his vanguard. I don''t know what kind of mood Chen Dao will have at this time? "


    Pang Tong immediately put on a bitter face and said: "it must be heartbreaking, and then kept asking why, why was it ambushed? And then regret, ha ha ha... "


    Three people are loud laughter, very happy.

 Chapter 462

    Chen Dao led the army on the way. Although he didn''t go day and night as Jiang Huan did, he did it at the fastest speed. Rao was so far away from Jiang Huan. After all, there are only 3000 soldiers under Jiang Huan''s command. On the contrary, he has a large number of soldiers, and there are military supplies, so he can''t go on his way quickly.


    At noon, the team stopped to rest.


    Chen Dao is patrolling the army to check the condition of the soldiers.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a sentry came back.


    Sentry''s face was anxious, and he had a nervous look in his eyes. He quickly came to Chen Dao''s body.


    "What''s the news?" Chen Dao asked.


    "The sentry said:" general, no, three thousand elite troops led by Jiang Huan have been destroyed


    "Brush!"


    Chen Dao''s face became very dignified.


    The whole army is destroyed!


    In this case, we are definitely ambushed.


    "What''s the matter?" Chen asked


    The sentry replied, "according to the news from the front, general Jiang Huan led 3000 elite soldiers to drive day and night, and finally encountered an ambush in the forest of Tianshi mountain. After the first World War, he was completely defeated. According to the escaped soldiers, general Jiang Huan committed suicide on the spot. "


    Shaking for a while, my eyes are full of worry.


    At the moment, what Chen Dao thinks is that all this is the ambush under Liu xiubu. Then, the epidemic situation of the soldiers in Liu Xiu''s camp may also be caused by moisture. It may be the smoke bomb that Liu Xiu deliberately released.


    "No, the left and right armies are in danger."


    In Chen Dao''s mind, he suddenly thought of the left and right wing troops.


    Even Jiang Huan is in danger, so I''m afraid there are problems with the left and right wing forces.


    "Newspaper!"


    At this time, another sentry came back.


    The sentry came to Chen Dao on horseback and reported: "general, the left wing army is completely defeated. Five thousand troops, one out of ten, have been defeated. "


    Chen Zhi pursed his lips, his eyes full of worry.


    Lost!


    This time it''s a real failure!


    Liu Xiu''s plan has always been one link after another. Now that Jiang Huan and the left-wing army have failed, the right-wing army must be the same.


    Although Chen Dao knows that the right wing is definitely in danger, he can only save a little hope in the current situation.


    "Newspaper!"


    On the official road, another sentinel rushed back.


    "Alas


    Chen Dao saw that another sentinel came back, his legs softened and he sat on the ground.


    The whole person, as if lost the pillar.


    In a short time, the sentry had already come to Chen Dao and reported: "general, the right wing army is defeated. What''s more, the right wing encountered Huang Hu, who led the army to the battle, and our army was completely destroyed. "


    "Alas..."


    Chen could not help sighing again, his face full of helpless look.


    It''s been calculated!


    Chen Dao can be sure that he was really calculated this time.


    I''m careless!


    Chen Dao thinks that if he insists on not playing, it is still impossible for Liu Xiu to tear his defense. But now he has lost more than half of his troops in a row, leaving only the army around him. It''s hard to resist Liu Xiu''s army.


    "Da! Dada


    The sound of the horse''s hooves came from the front of the official road.


    Another sentry rushed out and ran quickly.


    The sentry came to Chen Dao and said in a loud voice, "general, the big deal is not good. Liu Xiu leads the army to kill us. Liu Xiu is less than ten miles away from us. "


    Boom!


    Chen''s mind is full of noise and blank.


    A moment later, Chen Dao regained his calm. He was shocked by Liu Xiu''s speed, which was too fast.


    In such a short period of time, I have led the army to kill.


    At this time, all the generals in the army rushed forward with worried faces. When they learned that the three armies had failed, they had no intention to fight again.


    The morale of the army is already unstable!


    Morale has already fallen to the bottom.


    "General Chen, we certainly can''t resist Liu Xiu. He has fierce men like Huang Hu and shamoko under his command, and Liu Xiu also has bow and crossbow and other weapons, which are far more than our weapons. We don''t have an advantage when both sides fight. "


    "In this battle, our chances of winning are too low. If there is no loss in the three routes army, we may still have a chance to defeat Liu Xiu and control the situation. But now, it''s difficult to protect ourselves. "


    "General, retreat."


    "Now we will withdraw to Guangxin County, join with Uncle Huang''s soldiers, and then use Guangxin county to resist Liu Xiu."


    All the generals began to persuade Chen Dao not to fight any more.


    When the war is at its present stage, it will be humiliating to fight on. Maybe he will die in this war. It is obvious that the war is a failure, and no one is willing to survive.Chen Dao looked around at the crowd, looking helpless, and said, "withdraw!"


    Helpless decision, a cold heart.


    In his heart, Chen didn''t even know how to hand over his duties to Liu Bei.


    This attack on Liu Xiu, the first is to block Liu Xiu''s attack, the second is to defeat Liu Xiu. Now he not only failed to beat Liu Xiu, but also lost to Liu Xiu, even unable to defend.


    A complete failure!


    Chen to endure the pain in the heart, quickly assembled soldiers, led the army to retreat.


    The team retreated less than five miles, and an army appeared on the official road ahead.


    This army was led by Huang Hu and shamoko.


    Huang Hu sat on his horse, holding a drum jar and a gold hammer, pointed to the front, and roared: "this road is blocked!"


    "The road is closed!"


    The soldiers behind Huang Hu are shouting in order.


    "The road is closed!"


    "The road is closed!"


    High pitched voice, constantly echoing in the official way.


    The soldiers led by Huang Hu were all fighting and murderous. This group of soldiers robbed and killed Chen Dao''s left and right flanks. They had already begun to kill him. Now they have stopped Chen Dao''s retreat, and they are looking forward to fighting again.


    Chen to see this scene, but riding a horse rigidly in place, no longer a step forward.


    The back road is broken!


    Liu Xiu''s plan is really one link after another, leaving no room for him.


    Chen''s faces had changed with fear. I thought there was still a chance to retreat. I thought I could escape without Liu Xiu''s army, but now it seems that it is an extravagant hope.


    "Dong! Dong


    The powerful drums of war suddenly came from the rear of the army.


    "Woo! Woo


    A long and distant voice came.


    Looking back, Chen Dao was surprised to find that an army had already appeared on the official road behind the army. This is the army under Liu Xiu.


    Surrounded!


    Chen Dao''s front and back roads are blocked and surrounded by Liu Xiu.


    At this time, Chen Dao could not advance or retreat.


    "General, we are surrounded. What should we do now?"


    "General, what should I do now?"


    The words of inquiry made Chen Dao''s heart even more agitated. A trace of anger, in the heart of Chen to breed out. When it was good for them, they all pushed forward. Now when they are in trouble, they all begin to retreat.


    Chen Dao scolded: "shut up!"


    The cold and shrill voice quieted the surroundings.


    When they saw Chen Dao''s cold company, they suddenly remembered that Chen Dao was not a good one. Angered Chen Dao, I''m afraid they won''t die in Liu Xiu''s hands by then, but they will die in Chen Dao''s hands first.


    One by one, they stop talking and wait for Chen Dao''s decision.


    Chen Dao glanced at the crowd and said, "line up, prepare to meet the enemy."


    In a tone that cannot be refuted, the generals can only give orders.


    The soldiers in the army set up their positions and waited for Liu Xiu to lead the army to kill them.


    Not long after that, Liu Xiu''s army came to Chen Dao''s hundred steps away from the army, and the two sides confronted each other. The only difference is that the rear of Chen Dao is cut off by Huang Hu, while Chen Dao is sandwiched in the middle.


    Liu Xiu looked at Chen Dao''s direction and raised his hand.


    In an instant, the drums stopped, the horn disappeared, all the sounds disappeared.


    On the battlefield, there was silence.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Chen Dao, who should be the last general beside Liu Bei. Zhao Yun obeys him, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are killed, and Liu Bei is left with Chen Dao.


    Without Chen Dao, Liu Bei would be a bare commander.

 Chapter 463

    Liu Xiu''s idea is to attract Chen Dao.


    He is not only skilled in martial arts, but also good at leading soldiers to fight. He is an all-round talent.


    Liu xiulang said: "General Chen Dao, you have lost. There is no way out, no way out. Now you are caught in front of and behind you, and fighting can only be a loss of soldiers. If you order surrender, I can promise you not to kill one of your soldiers. "


    Chen Dao said, "Liu Xiu, it''s impossible for me to surrender."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "General Chen, what''s the trouble?"


    Chen to raised the long gun in his hand, full of fighting spirit, said: "I am loyal to my Lord, and will not change."


    Liu Xiu asked, "is Liu Bei worth following?"


    "It''s worth it," Chen said


    Liu Xiu sneered twice, with disdain and disdain in his laughter. Although Liu Bei has always been very sad, Liu Bei has learned all about Liu Bang''s abandonment of his wife and son, and Liu Xiu despises it very much.


    Chen continued: "even if the LORD did a lot of things against his will, he was helpless. My Lord has devoted his whole life to the Han Dynasty. I believe in him. "


    In a word, Liu Xiu was speechless.


    Under such circumstances, he could not persuade Chen Dao.


    This is Liu Bei''s loyalty. It is impossible to waver because of his few words.


    Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "what General Chen means is that he intends to fight to the end, and then let all his soldiers bury Liu Bei with him?"


    Chen to smell speech, a burst of dumb.


    Bury with me!


    Liu Xiu put forward this view. When he swept the generals and soldiers under his command, there was reluctance on every face. Obviously, no one wants to.


    Chen Dao frowned. He knew that Liu Xiu was doing this to break his mind.


    Damn it!


    Chen Dao angrily scolded Liu Xiu for being too cunning.


    Liu Xiu continued: "General Chen, I know that you are loyal to Liu Bei and that your soldiers dare to fight and fight. However, daring to fight and fight is not equal to death, not equal to not dying. Dare to fight and fight, should be in the right battlefield to play out, rather than this doomed situation. If you look around, my bowmen and archers are in place. The spearmen and shields were all in place. If you fight to the end, you can only consume the lives of your soldiers. "


    Heartless words shake the morale of the army.


    Chen Dao''s soldiers, one by one, have been shaken and talked about.


    They don''t want to die!


    They want to survive!


    Chen turned around and said, "my soldiers are all under my command. This battle is a battle of the Jedi. Life and death are hard to predict. Now, all the soldiers who are willing to surrender will gather on the left side of the official road. Soldiers who are not willing to surrender, stay where they are and fight me to death. "


    Brush!


    The soldiers in the army were in an uproar. I didn''t expect this result.


    Liu Xiu is also very surprised, did not expect Chen to choose such a way.


    This way is really amazing.


    Liu Xiu''s idea is to destroy the fighting spirit of Chen Dao''s soldiers, and then Chen Dao has no soldiers available and has to surrender. But what Liu Xiu didn''t expect was that Chen Dao chose such a way.


    For a moment, Liu Xiu was filled with emotion.


    How lucky Liu Bei is!


    First Zhang Fei, then Guan Yu, now Chen Dao.


    Including Zhao Yun!


    These people are all around Liu Bei and follow him wholeheartedly. Although Liu Bei always abandons his wife and children, and even runs away, it has to be said that Liu Bei has a good way to attract people.


    Any one is loyal to Liu Bei.


    Pang Tong went forward and said, "Lord, we can''t let Chen Dao divide our forces, otherwise there will be a war."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "don''t stop me. I want to see how many soldiers are left under Chen Dao''s command."


    At this time, there are no soldiers on display behind Chen. The first person to stand up is always the most difficult, and always has to bear the attack and gaze of countless eyes.


    "General Chen, I''m sorry. There are old people and young people in my family. I have to take care of my family''s livelihood, so I can''t fight with General Chen. Please forgive me. "


    A soldier roared and stood to the left.


    "General, it''s not that the villain doesn''t want to, it''s that he can''t."


    "Sorry, general!"


    "General, my parents need to take care of me, too."


    One by one, the soldiers kept talking and stood up one after another.


    After the first soldier stood out, the follow-up soldiers started to walk to the left on a large scale, although they still had reasons in their mouths.


    In Chen''s army, there are fewer and fewer soldiers. Chen Dao lost 3000 vanguards and 10000 or so wing troops, and his soldiers were less than 10000.


    The soldiers are constantly moving, and the number of them is decreasing.A quarter of an hour later, Chen Dao''s soldiers had been determined.


    The rest admit defeat, only a thousand people.


    These soldiers have firm eyes and are willing to fight with Chen to the end.


    "General, we are willing to fight to the death!"


    Among the soldiers, one cried out.


    "Fight to the end!"


    "Fight to the end!"


    More than 1000 soldiers are shouting loudly. Although the number is small, they are all people with firm faith. Although the number is small, the combat effectiveness is powerful.


    Chen to see in the eyes, moved, eyes with a touch of moisture.


    It''s enough to have more than 1000 soldiers to follow!


    Chen Dao pointed his gun at Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Xiu, how dare you fight?"


    "Liu Xiu, how dare you fight?"


    "Liu Xiu, how dare you fight?"


    More than 1000 soldiers in Jiaozhou screamed loudly and forcefully, which was full of courage to break the bridge and sink the boat.


    Liu Xiu looked at Chen Dao, and his eyes showed appreciation.


    Chen Dao is decisive and resolute, and is a great general. No matter where they are placed, such generals are brilliant. If they are under Liu Xiu''s command, Liu Xiu can give birth to Chen Dao''s value.


    Liu Xiu looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, I want to accept Chen Dao. What can you do?"


    Jia Xu said, "do you really want to accept this man?"


    Liu Xiu said, "of course!"


    Jia Xu laughed and said, "play hard to get, let Chen Dao lead the soldiers who are willing to follow him to leave."


    Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes, and a flash of light flashed through his mind. Suddenly, he also understood, and said, "I have understood Wenhe''s strategy. Releasing Chen Dao is just a cover, and the follow-up is the time to accept Chen Dao, right? "


    Jia Xu was surprised at Liu Xiu''s reaction and said, "my Lord is wise!"


    Liu Xiu and other soldiers stopped shouting, and then said in a loud voice: "Chen Dao, you are very lucky, there are so many soldiers willing to follow you, willing to die with you. On the battlefield, brothers are brothers. There are so many people willing to die with you, I don''t want to kill you. You go and leave with the soldiers who are willing to follow you. As for the soldiers who did not resist just now, all of them remain. "


    WOW!


    Liu Xiu''s words immediately aroused discussion.


    Jiaozhou soldiers who are willing to die look incredible. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu is willing to let them leave.


    After they had a way to live, their mind of fighting to death faded. When they looked at Liu Xiu one by one, although they also had high morale, they had a little bit of emotion that they could not explain clearly.


    Chen''s brows are frowning at the moment.


    What tricks does Liu Xiu play?


    Chen to guess in the heart, but it is elusive, he looked back at the rear of the eye. A soldier ran out of Liu Xiu''s command and rode to the rear to convey Liu Xiu''s order.


    All the troops that have cut off their retreat will retreat.


    Official way, empty out.


    Liu Xiu looked at the hesitant Chen Dao and said, "General Chen, do you suspect that I will ambush you? General Chen even has the heart to fight to death. Are you afraid that I will ambush you? No matter how bad the situation is, can the present situation collapse? "


    Chen to listen to, it is the same truth.


    No matter how bad it is, can it be worse than it is now?


    Chen Dao took another look at Liu Xiu, turned his horse''s head, and ordered: "withdraw!"


    "Da! Dada


    Chen took the lead and left first.


    A thousand soldiers followed Chen and left quickly.


    Only the rest of the Jiaozhou soldiers who stood on one side widened their eyes, which were full of regret. If we had known this, we should fight to the end firmly. Now we can withdraw with Chen Zhi.


    After a short time, Chen Dao led his troops across the line of defense composed of Huang Hu and shamoko.


    Huang Hu and shamoko return to Liu Xiu.


    With a puzzled look on his face, Huang Hu asked: "Lord, how can Chen Dao leave? Chen Dao is not a fuel-efficient lamp. It''s hard for us to keep Chen Dao. Now we''re going back to the mountain with the tiger in our arms. "


    Liu Xiu said, "I have my own plan. You should reorganize the surrender soldiers immediately."


    "No!"


    Huang Hu shook his head and sighed, then went down to carry out the order.

 Chapter 464

    When Chen arrived at the encirclement area, he quickly withdrew. Half an hour later, a young general came to Chen Dao''s side and said, "general, Liu Xiu really didn''t send troops to chase him. Now, we are really out. "


    Chen to sighs lightly: "but this battle, we completely defeated."


    The young general hears speech, is also the facial expression helpless.


    All of a sudden, the young general said: "General Chen, although Liu Xiu is cunning, we have to say that Liu Xiu is still very trustworthy and actually released us. Well, this time, Liu Xiu should have been impressed by the general''s bearing. "


    With a bitter smile, Chen Dao said, "I''m a defeated general. What kind of tolerance is there?"


    The young general said, "general, let''s hurry. This time, he lost to Liu Xiu. Although he let us leave, Liu Xiu will certainly approach Guangxin county. Maybe Liu Xiu will kill us soon. "


    "Well!"


    Chen Dao nodded and led the troops to retreat.


    Along the way, Chen Dao''s mood was quite low and complicated.


    If we fight to the death with Liu Xiu, we will die when we die, and we will not be so embarrassed now. Now that he is a defeated general, he has almost lost Liu Bei''s troops. How can he face Liu Bei when he goes back?


    When he thought about going back to Guangxin County, Chen had mixed feelings.


    Damn Liu Xiu!


    Suddenly, Chen Dao thought of a possibility.


    Liu Xiu deliberately asked him to go back and face Liu Bei.


    In the past, such a situation did not happen to Zhao Yun? Liu Xiu let Liu Bei and Zhao Yun, there was a gap, finally Zhao Yun in order to complete Liu Bei, had to submit to Liu Xiu.


    Now, has he followed Zhao Yun?


    "No, never!"


    Chen Dao clenched the gun in his hand with firm eyes.


    The team was on their way quickly, and it was already dark when they returned to Guangxin county.


    On the tower, a torch burns.


    Chen Dao leads his army to Chenglou. He looks up to Chenglou and shouts, "I''m Chen Dao. Open the gate quickly."


    On the tower, the guard general saw Chen Dao, who was in a terrible situation, and had only a thousand soldiers under his command. He was shocked in an instant, and immediately thought of the battle situation on the front line.


    Lost!


    This time, I lost again!


    The general ordered, "open the gate!"


    "Creak! Creak


    With the suspension bridge down and the gate open, Chen Zhi led more than a thousand soldiers into the city.


    The general had gone down the castle and looked at Chen and said, "General Chen, what''s the situation on the front line?"


    "Lost!"


    Chen Dao replied, "I''m going to see my Lord. Goodbye!" He led the tired soldiers on their way to the city. And the guard of the city will look at the back of Chen to leave, thinking in his eyes.


    The prefecture!


    After Chen settled the soldiers, he came directly to the residence.


    In the study, Chen Dao knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Lord, the general is incompetent, which leads to the total annihilation of the army. Please punish me. "


    Liu Bei''s angry look in his eyes, but he hid it well and said, "uncle, get up first."


    "Thank you, Lord!"


    According to Chen, he took a seat in his study.


    Shaking his feather fan, Zhuge Liang said: "General Chen is leading the elite of the Lord. These soldiers are brave and good at fighting. General Chen was also a cautious man in unifying the army and fighting. How was the war defeated in detail? "


    Liu Bei also looked curious. How was he defeated?


    Chen Dao explained: "to my Lord, the reason for the failure of this war is that the end of the war will be greedy and rash. In the war with Liu Xiu, after he saved Shi Yi''s army, he never sent any more troops. He always adopted the defensive strategy to confront Liu Xiu. "


    "In the course of the confrontation, the general discovered good news that Liu Xiu''s army had an epidemic."


    "At the end of that time, the general thought that Liu Xiu would be defeated if the disease worsened."


    "But in the middle of the battle, Huang Hu, a general under Liu Xiu''s command, came to fight in tetany. When he was fighting in tetany, he suddenly fainted on the ground. At that time, through Huang Hu''s judgment, Liu Xiujun''s epidemic began to spread and became more serious. "


    "At that time, the number of people in Liu Xiujun who carried out to throw away sparks every day was gradually increasing."


    "So, the end will move."


    "In order to determine Liu Xiu''s situation, Mo Jiang took the initiative to fight. This time, shamoko went out and was defeated by the final general. Then the general provoked Liu Xiu or Huang Hu, but Huang Hu didn''t show up, and Liu Xiu shot back the general. "


    "Therefore, the end will conclude that Liu Xiujun epidemic is true."


    Chen Dao, with a dignified look, continued: "at the end of that time, the general launched an attack. When he stormed, he found that Liu Xiu''s army''s combat effectiveness had indeed weakened, so he was more determined and launched a stormy attack."


    "The next day, Liu Xiu withdrew. At the end of the day, the general led his troops to pursue him, and they pursued him in three ways.""It was this pursuit that was defeated by Liu Xiu. After the defeat of the Third Route Army, the soldiers led by the last general were finally surrounded. "


    Chen Dao looked helpless and sad.


    In this war, we lost too fast.


    After a long time, he was defeated like a mountain.


    Zhuge Liang thought about the whole process. After a moment, he sighed a long time and said, "I think that Liu Xiu''s camp was really infected. At that time, General Chen didn''t find out. Wait for Liu Xiu to control the disease, and then let Huang Hu cheat you. Yellow tiger is a lead, and after you chase, you fall into a trap step by step. Liu Xiu''s plan has always been one link after another. It''s good that General Chen can escape back. At the beginning, general Guan didn''t escape at all. "


    Chen Dao took a look at Liu Bei and said, "in fact, the end will not be the one who escaped."


    "What''s the matter?" Liu Bei asked


    Chen Dao replied: "at that time, Liu Xiu led tens of thousands of troops to encircle us. Under such circumstances, there was no way to escape. In particular, Liu Xiu also shakes the morale of the last general''s remaining soldiers, making the morale unstable. "


    "When the general decides to fight to the death, he orders the soldiers to stand out if they are willing to surrender and fight to the death if they are not willing to."


    "In the end, more than a thousand soldiers died with me."


    Chen said: "the final general has decided to fight to the end. Liu Xiu released the final general at this time and let the final general come back with the remaining thousand soldiers."


    Liu Bei has a strange look in his eyes and takes another look at Chen Dao.


    Chen to immediately understand Liu Bei''s eyes, promised: "the end will be loyal to the Lord, heaven and earth can learn, no two hearts."


    Liu Bei said with a smile: "I believe you!"


    Having said that, Liu Bei was suspicious.


    In his eyes, Zhuge Liang did not doubt Chen Dao, but had a bad feeling. When Liu Xiu does things, he will never do useless work. He must have his purpose in doing so.


    After thinking about it for a moment, Zhuge Liang didn''t figure it out. He changed his words and said: "Lord, it''s meaningless to think about the previous things now. Now we have to consider how we can resist Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu defeated Chen Dao''s army, and then he would surely lead the army to kill him. Once Liu Xiu comes down, we will be in danger. "


    Liu Bei nodded and said, "the military adviser has a point, but it''s difficult to defend Guangxin county. Because there are scholars in Guangxin county. At the beginning, Shi Yi came back. Although Shi Yi vowed, I didn''t believe him. "


    Zhuge Liang frowned and said, "the scholar''s family is indeed a problem. If you don''t understand the scholar''s family, there may be changes in Guangxin county at any time."


    Liu Bei said, "do you have any clever plans?"


    Zhuge Liang thought about it and said, "Lord, we can test the corporal''s family. Send someone to the scholar''s house to invite someone. If they want to come to the prefecture, the scholar''s house can believe it. If the scholars don''t come, hum, there must be a problem. "


    Liu Bei said, "if there are problems in the family, what should we do?"


    Zhuge Liang said: "kill!"


    After a pause, Zhuge said: "I know that the Lord is worried that zhushashi''s family will consume power, but we don''t kill zhushashi''s family. Once Liu Xiu''s troops are in the city, the consequences will be unimaginable. Even if the scholar''s family had two minds and killed them, they could get rid of Liu Xiu''s stable Jiaozhou people. So we have to try. "


    Liu Bei thought about it and said, "let''s do it."

 Chapter 465

    The rising sun makes a sound, and the golden sun falls on the city floor of Guangxin county.


    This city seems to be covered with golden light.


    "Dong! Dong


    The mighty battle drums sounded outside the city.


    "Woo! Woo


    The sound of the long horn, followed by the sound of the war drum.


    The sound of war drums and bugles immediately made the soldiers on the upper floor of Guangxin County nervous. One by one, the soldiers clenched their weapons and looked nervously outside the city.


    "Drink!"


    Neat shouts came from outside the city.


    "Drink! Drink


    The voice of the soldiers, constantly echoing in the air.


    The sound made the garrison in the city nervous.


    Here we go!


    Here comes Liu Xiu!


    As everyone knows, the biggest crisis in Guangxin county has come.


    Soon, the army outside the city could be seen clearly. The army is in a neat array, full of killing spirit. The army in the array is like a beast with its tusks exposed. It will swallow Guangxin county at any time.


    Under the protection of the soldiers, Liu Xiu went down to the tower.


    When he came to the tower, Liu Xiu called out, "where is Liu Bei?"


    "Liu Xiu, I''m here."


    Liu Bei also appeared on the upper floor of the city. Last night, he learned that Liu Xiu was coming. Early in the morning, Liu Bei came to the city upstairs, waiting for Liu Xiu to appear. Liu Bei stares at Liu Xiu downstairs with a strong anger in his eyes. Both his second and third younger brothers died in Liu Xiu''s hands. He and Liu Xiu had long been feuds.


    Liu xiulang said in a voice: "Lord Xuande, you have grown old after many years of absence."


    A very common greeting, Liu Bei''s heart is cold.


    In the words, it is ironic that he is old.


    Liu Bei was cold and said in a deep voice, "Liu Xiu, I''ve been ordered to guard Jiaozhou. You led the army to attack without any reason. What''s the meaning?"


    Liu Xiu asked, "who ordered Xuande to guard Jiaozhou?"


    Liu Bei said, "the order of the emperor!"


    Liu Xiu said, "why didn''t I hear that Duke Xuande forged the emperor''s edict. It''s so bold to forge an imperial edict because Xuande is still uncle Huang. "


    Ironic words, like a steel needle into Liu Bei''s heart.


    Liu Bei brushed his sleeve and said, "Liu Xiu, stop talking nonsense. I''m in the city. If you have the ability, you can come in. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Xuande is really confident. Will Guangxin county become Xuande''s reliance? Is Xuande generally acknowledged that sticking to Guangxin county can persist to victory? Don''t be too confident. "


    "If Xuande wants to wait for Sun Quan to send troops to rescue, I advise Xuande not to bother. I have laid a large army in Jiangxia and Changsha County. Once Jiangdong is empty, it will attack Jiangdong immediately. "


    "Sun Quan can''t protect himself. How can he save you?"


    Liu Xiu had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "Xuande, if you surrender, I can give you a way to live."


    When Liu Bei heard the word surrender, he immediately became angry.


    Surrender!


    No way!


    When Liu Bei thought of his brother, he wanted to kill Liu Xiu. How could he surrender? Liu Bei''s eyes were sharp and he said, "Archer, prepare!"


    Brush! Brush!


    Archers stood on the tower and aimed at the outside.


    Liu Bei ordered: "shoot the arrow!"


    "Whew! Whew


    A feather arrow, quickly set down the tower.


    Liu Xiu pulled out the Zhenshan sword, pulled away the bow and arrow, and then took the soldiers back to the army.


    Pang Tong looked up and said, "Lord, it seems that Liu Bei is going to stick to it."


    Liu Xiu said: "it''s a dream to stick to Guangxin county."


    "Shamoko


    Liu Xiu said.


    "The end will be here!"


    Shamoko stepped forward and gave an answer.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "according to the plan, divide the troops to encircle the square gate of Guangxin county."


    "No!"


    There was a smile in shamoko''s eyes and he immediately took action. Last night, the plan was made. Now, shamoko is just carrying out the plan agreed last night. Shamoko dispatched troops and quickly blocked the square gate of Guangxin county.


    The news soon spread to the city.


    Zhuge Liang said, "Lord, Liu Xiu blocked the gate of Sifang city directly. It seems that he is going to trap us."


    Liu Yuanbei always said, "we can''t be trapped. Kongming, have you arranged the defense of Sifang gate? "


    Zhuge Liang replied, "it''s already arranged!"


    Shi Xie stood aside and said, "Uncle Huang, you should be careful not to be careless."


    Liu Bei said: "thank you for your reminding and support."


    A thousand private soldiers of the scholar''s family were scattered, incorporated into the army, and stationed at the gate of Sifang city. The reason for breaking up is to prevent the soldiers from gathering together and causing the situation to get out of control.Shi Xie stepped aside and stood on crutches to rest. After all, he is old. He can''t stand all the time.


    Seeing this, Liu Bei said, "let''s go down and have a rest."


    "Thank you, uncle!"


    When Shi Xie heard the speech, he bent his back.


    Early this morning, Liu Bei didn''t give orders, so Shi Xie took the initiative to come with a thousand private soldiers. Without Liu Bei''s notice, Shi Xie came and let go of his wariness. Just imagine, if Shi Xie really has any idea, he won''t come out again in the morning. Now Shi Xie has come on his own initiative. He really has no two hearts.


    Shi Xie walked down the castle with a sneer in his mouth. The reason why he brought the soldiers early in the morning was to make sure whether the private soldiers of the scholar''s family had been arranged in place. That was the most important thing.


    Liu Bei arranged the soldiers of the scholar''s family to garrison at the gate of Sifang City, and the situation was delicate.


    Outside the city, Liu Xiu did not launch an attack for the time being.


    About half an hour later, shamoko came back and said, "Lord, the soldiers outside the gate of Sifang have been arranged. Everything is ready to attack. "


    "Let''s go, let''s go!"


    Liu Xiu looked forward and gave the order without hesitation.


    "Whew!"


    A loud arrow took off and a piercing sound broke out in the air.


    The sound came into the city.


    "Kill


    The Jingzhou army outside the city launched an attack.


    It was not only Liu Xiu''s army that began to attack, but the soldiers outside the gate of Sifang city began to attack at the same time. The whole Guangxin county is under attack.


    Liu Xiu looked at the upper floor of the city and murmured, "Liu Bei, how long can you last? Half an hour, or one hour. "


    A sneer passed over Liu Xiu''s face.


    Liu Xiu has enough assurance that a scholar''s family is an internal agent in the city.


    The siege war officially opened, and a cloud ladder rushed forward and set up on the upper floor of the city. One after another, the cars appeared and began to hit the gate.


    After a short period of time, the war was already extremely fierce.


    On the tower, Liu Bei is also directing the soldiers to resist.


    Big stones are constantly falling down, killing the attacking Jingzhou soldiers.


    "Wow


    A pot of boiling hot water poured down and fell on the body of Jingzhou soldiers, which immediately made the climbing Jingzhou soldiers fall down.


    On the tower, the soldiers kept resisting.


    Fighting is becoming more and more fierce.


    Even though Liu Bei''s soldiers tried to resist, there were more and more Jingzhou soldiers, and they soon began to climb the city floor and fight close to each other.


    Wave after wave of soldiers came up, and then they were killed and retreated.


    A body was lying on the ground, bleeding.


    The war is becoming more and more fierce.


    In his eyes, Liu Bei was also extremely anxious. This is the first day of confrontation, his heart is already quite nervous. How to resist in the future? Liu Bei has no bottom in his heart.


    "Kill


    Suddenly, a cry came from the city.


    A group of people suddenly came out and went straight to the gate.


    This group of people killed to the gate, quickly cut down the soldiers at the gate, and then opened the gate. In particular, among the soldiers stationed at the gate of the city, some of the family members turned their backs.


    The scholar''s family has defected!


    Liu Bei''s heart sank.


    When Zhuge Liang looked around, he didn''t see the taxi to rest. In his heart, he said in secret, "Lord, the scholar''s family is rebellious. We have been attacked here, and the other three gates must have been attacked. We can''t delay any longer. Let''s go. Let''s break through immediately. "


    "Lord, break through!"


    Chen also came to Liu Bei''s side and made suggestions. Now that Guangxin county has scholars as its internal staff, it is impossible to garrison Guangxin county.


    "Withdraw!"


    Liu Bei looked at the situation inside and outside the city and gave an order. Chen Dao led the white eared soldiers to protect Liu Bei''s safety, quickly went down the tower, and then rushed out of the city.

 Chapter 466

    Scholar''s family!


    In the study, Shi Xie and Shi Yi sit opposite each other.


    There were different expressions on their faces.


    The expression on Shi Xie''s face was dignified, with a trace of worry.


    On the contrary, Shi Yi looked excited.


    The news of Chen Dao''s return from defeat has reached the scholar''s home. When Shi Xie knew the news, he immediately called Shi Yi to his study to discuss the matter.


    Shiyi said: "brother, Chen''s defeat proves that Liu Xiu is about to be defeated. In particular, Chen Dao defeated Liu Bei''s troops, and now Liu Bei''s troops are insufficient, so it is impossible to resist Liu Xiu. It''s a good thing. How worried are you


    Shi Xie glared at Shi Yi and said, "are you so brainless?"


    "Ah


    Shi Yi said: "brother, why do you scold me


    Shi Xie replied: "Liu Xiu is going to be in the city. Isn''t Liu Bei nervous? At this time, do you think Liu Bei will let the family go? This is the most dangerous time for the scholars. "


    At this time, his eyes were shining with wisdom.


    He has reached a rare age in ancient times. At this age, he has seen too many things.


    People grow up with age!


    Now taxi Xie, thinking about things is absolutely thorough.


    Shi Yi said: "brother''s meaning is that Liu Bei wants to fight against the Shi family?"


    Looking at Shi Yi''s face, Shi Xie couldn''t help sighing and said, "Shi''s family is a famous family in Guangxin County, and it''s not easy to do it. Especially when Liu Bei''s forces were damaged, he would not easily use his weapons. So now Liu Bei is hesitating. I expected that Liu Bei might send someone to invite me to the prefecture for discussion. "


    Shi Yi said directly: "elder brother can''t go. Once elder brother goes, if Liu Bei detains you, the Shi family will be pinched in Liu Bei''s hands."


    "If he doesn''t go, Liu Bei has reason to believe that the Shi family will attack Liu Xiu when they fall to him," Shi Xie said


    Shi Yi said: "fight, who is afraid of who!"


    Shi Xie sneered and said, "the scholars are not afraid of Liu Bei, but Liu Xiu is happy. In the end, the strength of the scholars and Liu Bei was weakened, and Liu Xiu''s attack on Guangxin county was even more effortless. It not only weakened Liu Bei, but also the scholar family. "


    Shi Yi widened his eyes and said, "big brother, is it so complicated?"


    Shi Xie said: "I doubt that Liu Xiu has this idea."


    Shi Yi asked, "what shall we do now?"


    Shi Xie took a deep breath. He stroked his white beard under his jaw and said, "if Liu Bei really sends someone to invite him, I must go."


    "No big brother!"


    Shi Yi said: "after you go, it''s really a tiger''s den."


    Shi Xie said, "Liu Bei doesn''t dare to do anything with me."


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, the voice of the housekeeper came to mind outside the study: "master, uncle Liu sent someone to invite you."


    Shi Xie said, "tell the visitor, and I''ll go later."


    "No!"


    The housekeeper was ordered to turn around and retreat.


    With a dignified look on his wrinkled face, SHIXIE said, "second brother, it''s time for my family to survive. In this war, I don''t want the family to receive losses. So don''t act rashly. Everything, wait for my news. Even if I go to the prefecture and don''t come back today, I can''t do anything. "


    "Yes


    Shi Yi Wen Yan nodded solemnly.


    Shi Xie got up and left his study. Then he left his study and took a carriage to the prefecture.


    Upon arrival, Shi Xie went straight into the mansion.


    As soon as he entered, a servant came up to guide him and took him to the study. Entering the study, Shi Xie arched his hand and said, "corporal Shi Xie, I''d like to see you."


    Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Mr. Wei Yan, please sit down!"


    Shi Xie said: "thank you, uncle Huang!"


    Zhuge Liang answered and said, "Lord Weiyan, please come here to discuss how to resist Liu Xiu. Chen Dao was defeated and returned, causing heavy losses to the army. Now, the Lord''s troops are insufficient, so it is difficult to resist Liu Xiu. Therefore, the Lord wants to ask Wei Yan for help


    Shi Xie''s face was serious, and he said, "I''m an official under the command of Uncle Huang. I''ll serve uncle Huang."


    Liu Bei said with a smile, "well, if you have the words of Wei Yangong, I will be relieved."


    Shi Xie thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "dare you ask Uncle Huang, when is Liu Xiu expected to arrive in Guangxin county?"


    Liu Bei replied, "it may arrive tomorrow."


    Shi Xie said: "in this way, uncle Huang has to strengthen his defense. Although the scholar family has no strength, they are willing to contribute their heart. They are willing to provide 1000 private soldiers to help Uncle Huang resist Liu Xiu. "


    "Good!"


    Liu Bei nodded and appreciated it.


    Although Shi Xie is old, he is still witty.Suddenly, Shi Xie said, "Uncle Huang, I have a sentence. I don''t know if I should say it or not."


    Liu Bei said, "Mr. Wei Yan, please say it!"


    Once he got down, he could completely encircle Chengxin. If Uncle Huang wants to stick to it, is there enough food and equipment? Liu Xiu is backed by Jingzhou, which provides food and soldiers with energy. What''s under uncle Huang? I''m afraid it''s hard to support them for a long time even if they do their best. "


    Liu Bei heard the voice of Shi Xie and said, "what does Wei Yangong mean?"


    Shi Xie said: "Uncle Huang still has to make plans early and be ready to withdraw. Otherwise, once they are trapped to death, they will be exhausted and unable to withdraw, and the situation will be difficult. It''s hard to be alone. Once uncle Huang is trapped to death, it will be quite difficult. "


    Liu Bei said, "I have written down the reminder of Wei Yangong."


    Shi Xie nodded and stopped talking.


    When he came to the prefecture, he was ready to be left.


    Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Mr. Wei Yan, go back to have a rest and prepare for war tomorrow."


    "Ah


    Shi Xie took a surprised look at Liu Bei, which seemed to be incredible.


    Immediately, Shi Xie said, "Uncle Huang, I''ve lost my manners."


    Liu Bei chuckled twice and said, "Duke Weiyan must think that I want to take Duke Weiyan as a hostage. Duke Weiyan is too worried. I don''t have this idea. It won''t be done now, and it won''t be done in the future. "


    Shi Xie was speechless and just bowed his hand.


    Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "it''s late at night. Please go back to Weiyan."


    "Yes


    Shi Xie got up and saluted, then turned and left.


    In the study, only Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were left.


    Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "Lord, I don''t think we should let Shi Xie go back. Let Shi Xie go back this time, and tomorrow''s situation may be out of control. "


    Liu Bei said, "Kong Ming, I understand what you mean. But let me detain Shi Xie, I can''t do it. "


    "Alas


    Zhuge Liang shakes his feather fan frequently, which makes him feel lost.


    At this critical time, there will be a lot of variables if Shi Xie is allowed to go back.


    Liu Bei thought about it and said, "what do you think of SHIXIE''s withdrawal


    Zhuge Liang replied: "there is nothing wrong with Shi Xie''s statement. This matter really needs to be considered in advance. Otherwise, once Guangxin county can''t hold on, the Lord will be trapped in Guangxin county. "


    Liu Bei said, "we''ll see after the battle tomorrow. If we can''t defend, we''ll retreat."


    "Yes


    Zhuge Liang bowed his hand and then went down.


    Outside the prefecture, Shi Xie got on the carriage and sat in it. His old face looked contemptuous and murmured: "Liu Bei seems kind, but she is a woman''s benevolence. Liu Xiu is sure to win this battle. It seems that the second younger brother and Liu Xiu have a good relationship, which is also a good choice. "


    Shi Xie was overjoyed that Liu Bei asked him to go back to his office.


    The surprise at that time was that he did it on purpose, which made Liu Bei believe that he had already guessed the idea of being detained.


    If Shi Xie stayed in the prefecture, his family would be threatened by Liu Bei.


    But now, when Shi Xie came back to his home, the Dragon entered the sea and was no longer under Liu Bei''s control. Even Liu Bei needed private soldiers of the scholar family to resist Liu Xiu, which gave the scholar family a chance to operate.


    "Liu Bei, let me crush the last straw for you."


    Shi Xie stroked his beard under his jaw and a smile passed over his face.

 Chapter 467

    All the gates of the four cities met the people of the scholar''s family.


    For a time, Guangxin county was directly exposed.


    Zhuge Liang followed Liu Bei, feeling quite depressed.


    Lost again!


    Since he assisted Liu Bei, he has failed many times, this time to Liu Xiu. Although Zhuge Liang didn''t direct it himself, he also participated in it. The taste of failure made Zhuge Liang feel uncomfortable.


    In Liu Bei''s heart, he felt even worse.


    Once again, he was chased like a lost dog.


    Escorted by the white eared soldiers, Liu Bei left the city and then turned around to break through.


    As the team advanced, Jingzhou soldiers were everywhere in front of it.


    Chen to charge in front, constantly fighting, killing opened a blood, to break out.


    Liu Xiu took charge of the central army and ordered the soldiers to encircle and kill Liu Bei. He and Liu Bei fought several times, and each time, Liu Bei escaped. This time, Liu Bei can no longer escape.


    Jia Xu stood beside Liu Xiu and said, "my Lord, there should be no difference between Liu Bei and Chen Dao. It seems that Liu Bei''s trust in Chen Dao can not be easily alienated. Unfortunately, Liu Bei went to war directly. If you have a little more time, you can use the alienator again, constantly alienating Liu Bei and Chen Dao. "


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s up to people to plan and heaven to make things happen. Just try your best. Mr. Wenhe doesn''t have to blame himself. "


    Liu Xiu really loves Chen Dao.


    At this point, Liu Xiu had no choice.


    Liu Xiu said, "don''t get used to other things. Let''s go after them with all our strength."


    At this time, Huang Hu and shamoko have joined together, trying their best to kill the Jiaozhou soldiers under Liu Bei.


    At the gate of the city, under the protection of a group of soldiers, a gray haired old man came out. This man is the master of the Jiaozhou family.


    At the side of Shi Xie, I follow Shi Yi.


    The soldiers of the Shijia family at the entrance of the city were under the command of Shiyi.


    They went out of the city and soon came to the front of Jingzhou Jun''s army outside the city.


    Shi Xie said: "please inform me. Shi Xie and Shi Yi ask to see Liu Jingzhou."


    "Wait!"


    When the soldier got the news, he turned and went in.


    After a while, the soldier came out and said, "the rest of the people will stay. You and Shiyi will follow me."


    "Thank you very much," he said


    Under the leadership of the soldiers, Shi Xie and Shi Yi came to the army.


    When Shi Xie saw Liu Xiu, his eyes fell on him. His eyes were very surprised. It was his first time to see Liu Xiu. Although he knew about Liu Xiu from all kinds of news before, he was still surprised when he saw him in person.


    Young!


    Yingwu!


    Junyi!


    All these words can be used in Liu Xiu.


    Shi Xie is old enough to take charge of Jiaozhou, but Rao is so. His name is not right and his words are not right. But the young man in front of him, at a young age, was able to compete with Cao Cao and chased Liu Bei around like a dog.


    SHIXIE arched his hand and said, "old SHIXIE, meet Liu Jingzhou."


    Shi Yi Gongshou said: "Shi Yi, meet Liu Jingzhou."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "I''ve heard the name of Weiyan for a long time. I can see it today. It''s well deserved. As the saying goes, "Jiang is still old and spicy. I admire that Duke Weiyan can launch an offensive even though Liu Bei is suspicious."


    Shi Xie said: "Liu Jingzhou has been wrongly praised!"


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "Duke Weiyan, Guangxin county has broken down. What''s the plan of the scholars?"


    In a word, straight to the point.


    SHIXIE didn''t even think about it. He said directly: "Shijia, I''m willing to drive for Liu Jingzhou. Shi Xie is willing to work for Liu Jingzhou. "


    "Good!"


    With a smile on Liu Xiu''s face and the contribution of the scholars, the stability of Jiaozhou would be easy.


    Shi Xie had been in Jiaozhou all his life, and his family had strong influence in Jiaozhou, not only in Cangwu County, but also in other counties. As long as Shi Xie cheers up, Jiaozhou can easily control it.


    Shi Xie said: "Liu Jingzhou, the overall situation has been decided, please enter the city."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "don''t worry. It''s not too late to enter the city when the war is stable."


    At this time, there were still battles in the city.


    It''s not the best time to enter the city now.


    Shi Xie takes a look at Liu Xiu and tells him to be careful. He is not a simple person.


    They were waiting outside the city for a while, waiting for the stability of the war.


    After Huang Hu and Sha Moke joined up, they went to hunt down Liu Bei. The team kept chasing him. When they got to the tail of the white eared soldier, Huang Hu roared: "Lao Sha, I''ll bite Liu Bei''s soldiers. You can''t let Liu Bei escape by bypassing the army and taking the path to the front."


    "Good!"


    Shamoko didn''t even think about it, so he agreed directly.


    Huang Hu led the army to continue to cover up and kill, while shamoko led a group of soldiers to move forward and pursue."Kill


    Huang Hu sat on the horse, beating the drum urn and hammering the gold hammer from left to right.


    Bang!


    The gold hammer of the drum jar fell on the soldiers, and in an instant, the soldiers of Jiaozhou were thrown upside down and died of vomiting blood.


    The yellow tiger is like a fierce tiger, and no one can stop it.


    A pair of drum urn gold hammer, invincible, killing Jiaozhou soldiers continue to fall.


    In the end, no one dared to stop Huang Hu.


    With the rise of Huang Hu''s killing, he is constantly rushing forward, shortening the distance between the two sides, and constantly narrowing the distance between him and Liu Bei.


    Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Chen arrived to withdraw, but the army was entangled and could not get rid of it.


    In the long run, none of them can escape.


    Liu Bei thinks about it and can only give up one person to escape the disaster. He even left his own women in Guangxin county. Now in order to survive and make a comeback, he has to throw away the people around him.


    Take a deep breath, Liu Bei has made a decision.


    Liu Bei said: "Uncle Zhi, there are pursuers coming from the rear. You lead the white eared soldiers to intercept for a while and delay their pursuit. Then you can catch up and join us. "


    Helpless decision, Liu Bei even embarrassed to see Chen''s eyes.


    Zhuge was helpless to follow Liu Bei.


    Although Zhuge Liang knew the consequences of doing so, he had no choice.


    Chen to Leng for a while, then Baoquan way: "Lord don''t worry, the end will stop the pursuit."


    As the voice fell, Chen Dao said, "the white eared soldiers listen to the order and follow me to stop the enemy."


    With an order, the white eared soldiers came out one by one, followed Chen Dao''s side, turned their direction, and went back to stop the pursuers.


    Looking at Chen Dao''s figure, Liu Bei yelled, "Chen Dao, you must come back."


    However, Chen Dao did not reply.


    Liu Bei took a deep breath and said, "Kong Ming, withdraw quickly. We must hurry to withdraw." Two people with only a few soldiers left, quickly continue to retreat.


    Chen Dao turns around with the white eared soldiers and soon meets Huang Hu.


    All the white eared soldiers stood by Chen Dao''s side.


    Chen to the gun pointed to the front, roared: "sons, are you afraid of death?"


    "Not afraid!"


    The white eared soldier answered in a loud voice, with no fear.


    Chen Dao then said, "do you dare to fight with me?"


    "Fight


    "Fight


    The powerful voice, full of fearlessness, has ignored life and death.


    Chen Dao called out: "kill!"


    With an order, Chen Dao led his soldiers to kill them and went straight to Huang Hu''s soldiers.


    The two armies met and fought.


    The fighting between the two armies was extremely fierce. It was a fierce fight.


    Huang Hu saw this scene, his eyes disdain, constantly swing drum urn hammer to kill, where, a white eared soldiers have fallen to death.


    Chen Dao sees Huang Hu trying to be fierce, but he is not in a hurry to find Huang Hu to fight.


    Stop!


    Chen Dao''s role is to block and delay.


    Once he and Huang Hu fight head-on, he can''t command his soldiers. Chen Dao constantly arranges soldiers to come forward to block, but more and more Jingzhou soldiers are killed, and less and less white eared soldiers are killed by Chen Dao.


    As time went on, Chen Dao left countless bodies around, most of them white eared soldiers.


    However, none of the white eared soldiers surrendered.


    Fight to the death!


    No one retreated, no one surrendered.


    By the end of the day, only Chen was left to fight, and the soldiers around him were dead. The Jingzhou regiment has surrounded Chen Dao and is trying to kill him.


    Huang Hu''s eyes fell on Chen Dao, and he also admired him.


    Worthy of being valued by the Lord!


    Have the ability, have the courage!


    Huang Hu roared: "get out of the way, Ben will come to meet Chen in person."


    Chen Dao''s eyes fell on Huang Hu and grinned. He put out his hand to wipe the blood on his face and said, "a family also wants to compete with General Huang!"


    The boundless war spirit permeated from Chen to his body.


    Even though Huang Hu''s martial arts are unparalleled, Chen Dao is not afraid. If he meets in a narrow road, the brave will win.

 Chapter 468

    All the soldiers around retreated four feet away to avoid being affected.


    The soldier made way for Huang Hu.


    Huang Hu saw that Chen Dao had already stepped down from his horse. He also turned over and dismounted. He said, "Chen Dao, I didn''t have to fight with my horse. I''ve never met an enemy. Are you sure it''s fighting under the horse? If you need a war horse, Ben will give you a war horse? "


    Chen Dao said, "no


    "Good!"


    "Yellow tiger way:" blunt your courage, this will not kill you. "


    The drum shakes and the golden hammer says, "please look in the air!"


    "Please


    Chen Dao''s eyes were sharp and he roared, "kill me!"


    The big gun shakes in the air. In a flash, it turns into three flowers. The tip of the gun kept shaking, so that people could not see the real and virtual, and went straight to Huang Hu''s body.


    "A small skill of carving insects!"


    Huang Hu''s left hand beat drum urn gold hammer across the chest, his right hand beat drum urn gold hammer swept toward the spear.


    Chen Dao changed his gun when he was in the battle. The point of the gun actually crossed an arc in the air. He avoided Huang Hu''s golden hammer and stabbed at Huang Hu''s golden hammer.


    "Ding!"


    The tip of the gun collided with the hammer face and produced a trail of sparks.


    They met each other and then staggered.


    Huang Hu had a dignified look in his eyes and said, "your shooting method has some meaning, but it focuses on dexterity. You''re a little short. "


    The provocative words made Chen Zhi''s eyes wide open.


    Today, Liu Bei told him to break up!


    Today, all the brothers around him died, none of them left.


    Today, he is alone.


    But Chen did not feel lonely. Behind him stood countless brothers, no matter whether they were standing or falling down. They are all behind him, supporting him to resist to the end.


    He is not alone!


    In Chen''s chest, a burst of generosity burst out.


    All over, there''s a surge of power.


    Fight to the death!


    Better die than surrender!


    "Kill


    Chen to drink low, in the hand of the gun is all before the dexterity. All of a sudden, there was a trace of heaviness in the shooting method, and a touch of solemn and stirring spirit.


    "Stop the army!"


    With a roar of a tiger, the gun turned over like a python, and then went straight out.


    This is a shot. It''s a shot.


    The point of the gun is swift and domineering, but also sharp and powerful.


    "Interesting


    Huang Hu in the hands of the drum urn gold hammer swung, gold hammer in the air swept, in an instant hit on the tip of the gun.


    "Bang!"


    The point of the gun collided with the hammer, and the point of the gun flew out.


    "Break the army!"


    At the moment when the barrel of the gun bounced up, Chen Dao twisted his body, held the barrel in both hands and swept it down. This move, Chen to people with the gun, the whole person seems to be integrated with the gun, each other.


    "Hoo


    Shadow after shadow passed in the air, and the gun drew down rapidly.


    Huang Hu carrying a drum urn gold hammer to meet up, bang a bang, the great force from hit spread.


    "Kick! Kick


    Huang Hu retreated two steps in a row, his eyes surprised.


    Chen to this move, make full use of the power of the gun, but also rely on force.


    That''s interesting!


    Huang Hu holds a golden hammer with a drum jar. His two hammers are horizontal in front of his chest. They are as close as a seal. He defends firmly and has no attack for the time being. He responded to all changes with constancy, and now Chen Dao changed his moves again. The barrel of the gun shakes in the air, and Chen''s body straightens instantly. He seems to be a muscle taut, muscles and bones like a dragon, body straight as loose, the gun in his hand pointed to the air.


    "Seven kills!"


    Chen Dao gave a low drink and dashed out.


    The gun in the hand is out quickly!


    The so-called "seven kills" means that after the shot is shot, it will be taken back in an instant and then shot again. Seven times in a row, the speed of these seven shots can be completed in an instant.


    "Whew!"


    The point of the gun broke through and went straight to Huang Hu.


    "Cape hammer!"


    Huang Hu knew that he could not despise it. As soon as he changed his move, he stabbed it quickly.


    As soon as the move collided, Chen Dao''s gun was immediately affected. Rao is Chen to receive the gun to do a correction, and then quickly out of the gun, but the yellow tiger Cape hammer power is too strong, also affected the speed of Chen to.


    The second shot, the second hammer of the yellow tiger also fell.


    "Dang!"


    The hammer hit the point of the gun!


    Under the impact of powerful force, the gun was swung away, and Chen Dao''s seven kill gun had no time to show.


    The drum jar and the golden hammer are still flying in the air.


    Huang Hu''s moves were not stopped, and he was not affected at all. In a flash, he raised the third hammer again, rowed in the air and smashed it at Chen Dao. Chen Dao had no time to make a move. He could only resist it.Chen Dao held the gun in both hands, across his chest, and pushed it forward.


    The golden hammer landed on the barrel of the gun.


    After the hammer fell, the barrel of the gun bent down, forming a huge range. But the toughness of the gun barrel is also limited. When it bears a certain strength, it can no longer bear it.


    "Chaka!"


    The barrel of the gun is broken and cut in two.


    Another golden hammer of Huang Hu''s drum jar had already been swung up and came to Chen Dao''s body again.


    This time, Chen could not avoid it.


    "Boom!"


    The golden hammer of the drum jar struck Chen Dao''s chest. In a flash, Chen Dao was struck by lightning. He stepped back two steps and fell on his head. The power of the hammer was just right. It only knocked Chen Dao out, but did not hurt his lungs and viscera.


    Huang Hu''s two golden hammers are at the top of the mountain.


    "Da! Dada


    A sound of horse''s hooves came quickly, and shamoko drove his horse back.


    With a regretful expression on his face, shamoke said, "tiger, I lost it. I didn''t catch up with Liu Bei."


    Huang Hu looked at shamoko with a look of hating iron but not steel, and said, "well, if you lose it, you lose it. The next time you see Liu Bei, you must hold him. "


    "Come on, tie Chen Dao up, put him on the horse and take him back."


    Huang Hu takes a look at Chen Dao, who has fainted in the end. Fortunately, he catches Chen Dao and finally has something to gain.


    The army withdrew to Guangxin county.


    Back in Guangxin County, Liu Xiu joined Huang Hu and shamoko.


    Huang Hu hugged his fist and said: "Lord, the last general is incompetent. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang escaped. This time, they only caught Zhuge Liang. Chen Dao is really powerful. He led the soldiers to stop us and fight for Liu Bei''s escape time. Because of Chen Dao''s obstruction, our army was held back. At that time, none of Chen Dao''s soldiers surrendered until they were all dead. Chen Dao was the only one left and was captured by the general. "


    Liu Xiu asked, "how is Chen Dao?"


    Liu Xiu knew about Huang Hu''s golden hammer of beating drum and urn. If this hammer goes on, it will be either death or injury.


    I''m afraid Chen Dao''s body was also injured.


    Huang Hu replied: "the end will know that the Lord appreciate Chen Dao, so he just knocked him unconscious, did not hurt him. Now, he''s tied up by the soldiers. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "keep it in custody for the time being. Get ready. The army will enter the city."


    "No!"


    Huang Hu was ordered to turn around and go down to arrange.


    With the confluence of the army, the army set out into the city and camped in the city.


    At this time, the war in the city also subsided, and all the important roads and checkpoints were under the control of Liu Xiu.


    In the prefecture, Liu Xiu was in the hall. Liu Xiu, Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Huang Hu, Sha Moke, Shi Xie and Shi Yi all gathered together.


    "Liu Bei''s defeat has been decided," Liu said. Now, let''s talk about how to deal with the order after handing it over to the state. "


    When Shi Xie and Shi Yi heard the speech, they became nervous.


    The scholar family is the biggest family in Jiaozhou. Now Liu Xiu has won Cangwu County, and Jiaozhou is next. It is reasonable to say that the scholar family is the most suitable person to govern Jiaozhou, but Liu Xiu''s power depends on Liu Xiu''s consideration.


    Shi Xie said, "no matter what the Lord makes, the Shi family will give their full support."


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu nodded, very satisfied with Shi Xie''s attitude.


    Although Shi Xie is old, he knows the general situation and knows how to advance and retreat. Moreover, the old man knows how to advance and retreat. Now the situation is under Liu Xiu''s control, and it is impossible for the scholars to conflict with Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes swept over Shi Xie and Shi Yi, and his eyes showed a look of thinking.

 Chapter 469

    At this time, Shi Xie and Shi Yi were quite nervous.


    Shi Xie had lived most of his life, and half of his body had been buried in the earth. At this time, he was still a little nervous. It''s not because of the official position, it''s because of the position of the scholar family.


    What Liu Xiu did decided the next situation of the scholar family.


    Shi Yi''s heart is full of expectations. After he lost to Liu Xiu before, he has already submitted to Liu Xiu. He also dealt with a lot in this war. It is reasonable to say that Liu Xiu could not have treated him badly.


    A moment later, Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Shi Xie and asked, "Shi Xie, I''ll give you three months. Can you pacify the handover?"


    There was a touch of surprise in Shi Xie''s eyes.


    Even a little surprise.


    Liu Xiu superficially asked him when he would pacify Jiaozhou, but in fact he handed it over to him.


    Shi Xie stood up, arched his hand and said, "please tell me that Jiaozhou will be settled in three months."


    No one can do this. Only Jixie, a local snake in Jiaozhou, has the power and prestige. This is not a matter of the number of troops, but of their own prestige and contacts. Shi Jia and Shi Xie have this energy in Jiaozhou.


    Liu Xiu said with satisfaction: "in that case, I will recommend you as the governor of Jiaozhou. From today on, you are the governor of Jiaozhou, in charge of the government affairs of Jiaozhou. "


    "No!"


    Shi Xie bowed his hand to answer with a smile on his face.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Shi Yi and said, "Shi Yi, I still lack an official position. How about you stay with me?"


    Shi Yi said bitterly: "I''m willing to be humble!"


    Originally thought will get benefits, did not expect big brother to stay in Jiaozhou, and he was left as a hostage in Liu Xiu''s side. As a result, the gap is too big.


    Shi Yi''s expression, Liu Xiu see in the eyes, but did not say anything.


    It''s impossible to let Shi Xie take charge of Jiaozhou just because the scholar''s family is obedient. People must stay with him.


    Shi Xie looked the same and said, "it''s also his nature that the second younger brother can stay with my Lord. Thank you for your cultivation." Shi Xie was not surprised by Liu Xiu''s arrangement. On the contrary, Shi Xie thinks that this is the quality of a mature ruler. If Liu Xiu didn''t even think of this method, Shi Xie''s mind would not be stable in guarding Jiaozhou.


    Liu Xiu continued: "Duke Weiyan, since Jiaozhou is under the jurisdiction of this official. Then, we have to follow the system of Jingzhou. "


    Shi Xie said, "please make it public!"


    Liu Xiu said slowly, "under my command, the military and the government are separated. When Weiyan is in power, he does not care about military power. When it comes to military affairs, Duke Wei Yan is not allowed to intervene without authorization. At the same time, other people can''t interfere in your affairs. "


    Rules are rules. Liu Xiu must make it clear.


    Otherwise, when it comes to arranging for someone to take over the military power, Shi Xie will have a knot in his heart.


    Shi Xie''s eyes narrowed slightly and asked, "how do you arrange it?"


    Liu Xiu replied: "our officer will send Huang Zhong, the second army general under his command, to Jiaozhou. Huang Zhong will be stationed in Jiaozhou. Whenever there is a war, Huang Zhong will send troops to deal with it. It''s up to you to cooperate with each other in the matter of pacifying the state. "


    Shi Xie had no expression on his face and said: "I will assist General Huang to finish the peace of Jiaozhou."


    "Good!"


    There was a smile on Liu Xiu''s face.


    Liu Xiu said: "in this case, I will not live in the government. After Wei Yan took office, he will deal with the government affairs as soon as possible and let the officials in Jiaozhou run."


    "Yes, sir


    Shi Xie bowed his hand to answer.


    After a few days of communication with Jingyan, Liu Xiushi returned to the guild


    "No!"


    Shi Yiying watched Liu Xiu and his party leave.


    Soon there were only SHIXIE and Shiyi left in the Yamen.


    At this time, Shi Yi''s face showed dissatisfaction and said: "brother, what should I do now? Liu Xiu directly took me to Jingzhou, clearly to grasp as a hostage. In addition, Liu Xiu also sent Huang Zhong to Jiaozhou, which is obviously to restrain you. "


    Shi Xie seemed very calm and said, "second brother thinks Liu Xiu broke Guangxin county with us. How can he reward us? Let''s make a fiefdom? "


    When the scholar heard the words, he was dumb.


    Liu Bei did not let the scholars get too much power, and Liu Xiu could not.


    Shi Xie continued: "on the contrary, I think Liu Xiu''s practice is quite mature. You go to Liu Xiu''s side, and Huang Zhong leads the army to Jiaozhou. As long as Huang Zhong has a firm foothold in Jiaozhou, Liu Xiu will not worry that the situation in Jiaozhou will get out of control. Liu Xiu''s means are quite brilliant. "


    Shi Yi was very unhappy and said, "but I became a hostage."


    Under the pressure from Shi Xie, Shi Yi didn''t say a word. Shi Xie became the governor of Jiaozhou, but he didn''t get anything.


    Shi Xie stroked his beard and said, "second brother, what kind of position you are, it''s up to you.""If you take you as a hostage, you are only a hostage at Liu Xiu''s side. Whatever you do, you will feel that others are pressing you and you will feel aggrieved. "


    "If you think of yourself as the person around Liu Xiu, then you are the person around Liu Xiu. When you are by Liu Xiu''s side and show your talents to the best of your ability, you will get the moon first and get Liu Xiu''s respect. "


    Shi Xie said, "I''ve met so many people in my life. It''s the first time I''ve met Liu Xiu and other young people with mature means. Compared with Sun Quan, he is more enterprising; compared with Cao Cao, he is younger. The most important thing is that Liu Xiu is not a childe, but a man who has gone through war. Follow him, it must be from the road of the dragon. Do you know what the dragon road is


    "Hiss!"


    Shi Yi''s face suddenly had a look of shock.


    Shi Yi stammered: "brother, what do you mean by Liu Xiu?"


    Shi Xie said, "isn''t it normal for Liu Xiu to be a royal family member? Besides, Liu Xiu is also a vassal of the world. In today''s world, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Liu Zhang, Liu Xiu, Zhang Lu and other princes are not selfish. "


    Shi Yi''s heart became hot after hearing this.


    There are scholars as his backing, he is under the command of Liu Xiu, absolutely has enough confidence.


    Shi Yi had a smile on his face and said, "brother, don''t worry. I will try my best to stand firm under Liu Xiu''s command."


    The wrinkles on his face stretched out and he said with a smile, "you finally understand that big brother''s ruling Jiaozhou has the right to speak locally and is your backing. However, when you are by Liu Xiu''s side, you are the representative of the scholar family. Your words and deeds represent the scholar family, do you understand? "


    "I see!"


    Shi Yi was very happy and thought that once Liu Xiu ascended the ninth five year plan, he would turn over.


    Shi Xie said, "now that you''ve figured it out, don''t think about it any more. When you get home, take your wife and children with you and go to Jingzhou with Liu Xiu. After you go to Jingzhou, try to win over some people. "


    "I understand!"


    Shi Yi nodded, turned and stepped back.


    Shi Xie looked at Shi Yi''s back as he left. Sitting in the prefecture, he suddenly laughed and murmured, "can I see the day when Liu Xiu ascended the ninth five year plan?"


    "Somebody


    Shi Xie ordered.


    A valet came in and bowed.


    Shi Xie said, "order the officials of Jiaozhou and Cangwu counties in Guangxin county to come to discuss business."


    "No!"


    The servant got the order, turned around and stepped down.


    ¡­¡­


    Liu Xiu left the prefecture and went directly to the barracks.


    Back at the camp, Liu Xiu directly sent someone to take Chen to the tent.


    Liu Xiu wanted to accept this man.


    Chen Dao, with his hands tied, stood in the tent. He looked up at Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Xiu, I am loyal to my Lord. I can''t obey him. So, you don''t have to waste your efforts. Just kill me. It''s better. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Uncle Zhi is really naughty."


    Naughty?


    Naughty girl!


    Chen Dao widened his eyes and roared in his heart: "where did you see me being naughty?"


    Chen Dao stood with his head raised and said in a deep voice, "don''t be ridiculous. I can''t obey you."


    Liu Xiu said, "don''t worry. Let''s talk about it slowly. Alas, these soldiers really don''t understand the rules. They even tied their hands to Shuzhi. I''ll untie the rope for him. "


    When he got up and went to Chen Dao, Liu Xiu directly untied the rope.


    As soon as Chen Dao gave away his hand, he squeezed his fist with his right hand and smashed it out with one punch, bombarding Liu Xiu on the chest.


    "Bang!"


    The dull noise made Liu Xiu step back two steps.


    Chen Zhi''s left hand was pinched again, and a blow was sent out again.


    "Bang!"


    Another blow hit Liu Xiu''s left shoulder.


    Liu Xiu''s face entered the stadium and stepped back two steps, but there was no sound or even any change in his face. Liu Xiu stared at Chen Dao and said, "no weapons, you are not my opponent. Uncle Zhi, two fists in a row. Is it enough to vent? "


    Brush!


    Chen Dao''s face changed slightly, but he didn''t expect that Liu Xiu was deliberately irresistible.

 Chapter 470

    "I don''t believe it, I don''t believe it!"


    Chen Dao roared and glared. In Chen Dao''s mind, he didn''t believe that Liu Xiu was deliberately unable to stop him.


    "Kill


    Chen Dao swung his fist and hit Liu Xiu''s chest again.


    The fist blows out with great momentum.


    This blow let out Chen Dao''s anger and resentment.


    Liu Xiu still didn''t fight back, but the punch was not simple, and he didn''t intend to fight back. He moved under his feet to avoid Chen Dao''s attack. When Liu Xiu dodges, some soldiers rush in outside the battalion commander, but Liu Xiu waves the soldiers to retreat.


    What Liu Xiu is doing now is to let Chen Dao vent.


    All the depression, all the vent.


    All the anger, let it out.


    Everything, all in the fist to vent.


    Then Chen Dao could calm down, and Liu Xiu had a chance to persuade Chen Dao to surrender.


    Chen Dao''s eyes were sharp. Seeing that Liu Xiu kept dodging, he roared: "Liu Xiu, don''t dodge if you have the ability. Come on, let me see how good you are


    Liu Xiu''s eyes a Lin, way: "that you are careful."


    He arched his back slightly, padded his feet, lowered his head slightly, and fixed his eyes on Chen Dao''s fist.


    Boxing competition, to see who is faster, more accurate and more fierce.


    With one punch, you can see the truth.


    "Hoo


    Chen Dao hit Liu Xiu''s face again.


    "Too slow!"


    Liu Xiu''s head deviated and his right fist came out.


    "Bang!"


    His fist struck Chen Dao''s lower rib like lightning, and the instant impact made Chen Dao Ru''s body step back when he was struck by lightning. He took three steps in a row to stabilize himself.


    "Kill


    Bearing the pain of his ribs, Chen Dao swung his arm like a big gun.


    Liu Xiu dodged nimbly and said, "not nimble enough!"


    At the foot of a turn, Liu Xiu avoided Chen to, the person has already arrived behind Chen to, the fist blows out, a bang hits Chen to the back, in an instant, Chen to the body falls forward.


    "Without the gun, you are not my opponent, you are nothing."


    Liu Xiu''s sharp mouth directly hit Chen Dao.


    Chen Dao struggled twice, and then he stood up again, breathing. Looking at Liu Xiu, he was still very excited, but he didn''t move for the time being.


    Liu xiudao: "why, are you afraid? Dare not do it? "


    Chen Dao roared: "who said you dare not do it!"


    When the tiger roared, Chen Dao jumped out again. He opened his arms and wanted to hold Liu Xiu.


    The corner of Liu Xiu''s mouth rose slightly. He leaned back a little. Suddenly he bent over and lifted his left leg. Pull your legs back, then push them. Leg lightning like pedal out, just hit the rush to Chen.


    "Pa!"


    The sole of his foot hit Chen Dao''s chest. In an instant, Chen Dao''s body was hit by a huge stone.


    "Ah


    Chen''s body went straight out.


    With a bang, Chen Dao fell to the ground.


    The skeleton of the whole body seems to fall apart, incomparably uncomfortable.


    Chen Dao struggled to get up, but the previous pain in his ribs, back and spine, and now the pain in his chest, piled up and burst out, and he couldn''t jump up.


    Liu Xiu clapped his hand, then went back to his seat and said, "I''ve already said that if you don''t have a gun, if you don''t have the war horse you depend on, you are nothing."


    "Now, do you want to fight again?"


    "If you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end."


    "If I don''t fight, I''ll sit down and be quiet."


    Liu Xiu''s words showed a trace of contempt.


    This tone and voice made Chen Dao quite uncomfortable, but now he is only Liu Xiu''s prisoner, and he has no right to say anything. With all his pain, he struggled to his feet and sat down.


    Chen Zhi said, "Liu Jingzhou, why are you suffering?"


    Liu xiudao: "it''s worth it!"


    Chen Dao shook his head and said, "I am loyal to my Lord."


    Liu Xiu asked: "then why do you put the mat behind you?"


    In a word, Chen Dao was silent.


    Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows. What Liu Xiu said just now was just a trial to see how Chen Dao stayed. Did not expect Chen to stay directly, Liu Xiu immediately understood, the only explanation is that Liu Bei let Chen to cushion. If it''s Chen Dao who takes the initiative to lead the troops behind the mat, then Chen Dao will certainly speak out with a strong sense of reason and will not be so stuffy and silent.


    "What a good opportunity, Liu Bei. You are a good comrade indeed."


    There was a trace of joy in Liu Xiu''s heart.


    Since Liu Bei abandoned Chen Dao, it is easier for Liu Xiu to recruit Chen Dao now.Liu Xiu said: "Uncle Zhi should have known about Zhao Yun."


    Chen Zhi raised his head and said unconvinced: "it was not you who threatened the Lord. If it wasn''t for the Lord''s lack of food, it wouldn''t be so. "


    Liu Xiu said: "at the beginning, Liu Bei gave up Zhao Yun for food. Now, Liu Bei gives up on you in order to survive. What''s the difference? "


    As soon as Chen Dao heard this, he was silent.


    Yes, what''s the difference between the past and the present? All for the same purpose.


    Liu Xiu continued: "besides, about Liu Bei''s woman, isn''t she abandoned again this time?"


    Back at the camp, shamoko reported that he had caught Liu Bei''s woman. Liu Xiu didn''t have any idea about them. He had already rolled countless sheets with Liu Bei. Liu Xiu was not interested in them, so he let the soldiers watch.


    Chen Dao said, "where is the master mother?"


    Liu Xiu said: "don''t worry, they are well settled."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "at the beginning, when Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, he was occupied by Lu Bu and ran away from the women. Later, Liu Bei went to Cao Cao and, with the support of Cao Cao, attacked Lu Bu with Xia Houdun, but Gao Shun defeated him and ran away from the women. Liu Bei occupied Runan of Yuzhou and fought against Cao Cao. After defeat, he ran away again and left the women behind People. Liu Bei has been at war with my official for many times, isn''t it? Up to now, it''s the same. Is it worth your allegiance to a man who is constantly abandoning women? "


    After hearing this, Chen Dao''s mouth twitched and his eyes were full of helplessness.


    He also knows these things. Chen Dao also disagrees with such a practice, but he has no choice but to comply with Liu Bei''s decision.


    Liu Xiu sighed and said slowly: "Uncle Zhi, you follow Liu Bei to show your ambition and help design. But can people like Liu Bei show your ambition? Why not sweep the whole world without sweeping the whole house? Will a man who does not care about his own family worry about the whole world? "


    "It''s true that Liu Bei is kind to his subordinates."


    "But when it comes to life and death, it''s you that Liu Bei abandoned first."


    "Zhao Yun is like this, so are you."


    Liu Xiu said: "Liu Bei is not worthy of your loyalty. At least in my opinion, Liu Bei is not a man. Now that he has escaped, even if he can make a comeback with Zhuge Liang''s help, he will not be able to gain a firm foothold. "


    Chen to listen to Liu Xiu''s words, the heart is helpless.


    This time he was abandoned, he really had a hard time in his heart.


    Chen said: "Liu Jingzhou, I can surrender, but I have one condition."


    "But it doesn''t hurt to say so!" Liu xiudao.


    Chen Dao replied, "give me Liu Bei''s family. When I find out Liu Bei''s whereabouts, I''ll send someone to send them to Liu Bei. If you agree, I will be loyal to you. "


    Liu Xiu said, "a gentleman''s word!"


    Chen immediately said, "it''s hard to chase a Sima."


    Liu xiudao: "Liu Bei''s women and family members, I will give them to you intact. Next, you stay with me for a while, waiting for my arrangement. "


    "Yes


    Chen Dao arched his hand and suddenly became very calm.


    There is no sadness of abandoning Liu Bei and no joy of being loyal to Liu Xiu.


    After Chen got out of the barracks, he found Liu Bei''s family members in the barracks under the leadership of the soldiers. After he pacified a few people, he placed them all next to his camp to prevent them from being bullied.

 Chapter 471

    Liu Xiu was stationed outside, and Cangwu county was soon stabilized under the treatment of Shi Xie.


    The army, still stationed.


    Liu Xiu hasn''t left yet. He is still waiting for Huang Zhong to lead his army. The transfer order has been informed. We have to wait for the news from Huang Zhong. Only after Huang Zhong arrived at Cangwu County, Liu Xiu could leave safely.


    On this day, Liu Xiu dealt with government affairs in the camp.


    "Newspaper!"


    Outside the camp, Deng Zhan came in.


    "Lord, I''d like to see you," Deng zhanchen reported


    "Please


    Liu Xiu said.


    Deng Zhan went on to deliver orders. Not long after, Shi Xie came to the camp and bowed to Liu Xiuxing.


    Liu Xiu said, "Mr. Wei Yan, please sit down!"


    Shi Xie sat down and said, "Lord, I''m here for food."


    Liu xiudao: "is grain in trouble?"


    Shi Xie nodded his head and said, "when Liu Bei controlled Cangwu county and Jiaozhou, he wantonly recruited troops and expanded his strength. As a result, the whole Jiaozhou was short of food. After the war, food was even more scarce. The price of grain on the market, which changes three times a day, is unstable. The people were suffering from famine, and the situation became more and more serious. I came here to ask my Lord if he could transfer grain from Jingzhou to relieve the disaster and stabilize the people. "


    Liu Xiu listened and stopped talking in an instant.


    In my eyes, there is a look of examination.


    Soon after he came to power, he stabilized the situation in a very short period of time. Liu Xiu appreciates this ability. However, Shi Xie came to ask for food, and Liu Xiu did not believe that he could not provide food for disaster relief with his ability.


    Liu Xiu also believed that it was enough to stabilize the grain problem.


    Liu Xiu didn''t speak. For a moment, Shi Xie was also embarrassed.


    In the face of Liu Xiu''s eyes, Shi Xie, who had experienced great storms, was on pins and needles for a while. In such a situation, even Shi Xie was worried.


    Liu Xiu light way: "Wei Yan Gong, exactly is how to return a responsibility, say."


    Shi Xie was silent for a moment, and said: "there is indeed a gap in grain in Cangwu County, and so is Jiaozhou. The problem of grain mainly comes from the grain hoarding of Jiaozhou people. "


    Liu Xiu said, "the reason why I want to be an official is because the family of Jiaozhou scholars is the leader of the family. You represent them. You can''t do anything to them, can you?"


    When Shi Xie heard the words, he was speechless.


    Liu Xiu pointed out the reason to the point, it is true. The scholar''s family is the leader of the Jiaozhou aristocratic family. Once Shi Xie starts, the scholar''s family will no longer have its present status and will be targeted by the major aristocratic families.


    Liu Xiuse said: "Shi Weiyan, you are not only the head of the scholar''s family, but also the parents of the people in Jiaozhou. If the family can''t deal with the problem of food, I don''t mind changing to a governor. "


    When Shi Xie heard the speech, he felt a thump in his heart.


    On the surface, the old man came to Liu Xiu for help. In fact, he also took the opportunity to test Liu Xiu''s attitude.


    Once Liu Xiu gives food, Shi Xie will have the best of both worlds.


    It not only pacified the common people, but also properly handled the relationship between the scholar family and Jiaozhou aristocratic family.


    However, Liu Xiu saw through the problem at a glance and forced Shi Xie to the corner. However, such a result was also expected by Shi Xie.


    Liu Xiu continued: "Mr. Wei, I don''t want similar problems to happen again. You don''t have to test me. You can do whatever you want. I just want results, unstable process. "


    "Yes


    Shi Xie nodded and then stepped back.


    Out of the camp, Shi Xie took a long breath, and then went back to deal with the food.


    Liu Xiu called out: "Deng Zhan!"


    "Yes


    Deng Zhan went to the tent and bowed himself.


    Liu Xiu said, "go and find out which aristocratic families are hoarding grain and raising the price of grain in Cangwu county. Everyone, make a list for me. "


    "Yes


    Deng Zhan answered and went out in a hurry.


    In two days, Deng Zhan collected the information and then went back to the camp.


    Deng Zhan presented the results of the inventory and said: "Lord, those who hoard and raised the price of grain have recorded. These people are the main figures in the food unrest in Cangwu county and even Jiaozhou this time. "


    Liu Xiu looked carefully and found that there were 16 people on the list with different surnames.


    Judging from this, it is obvious that none of them belong to the same family.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes showed a cold look and waved: "I know, you go down. We will continue to pay attention to the full development of grain. "


    "No!"


    As Deng Zhan retreats, Liu Xiu looks at the list in his hand and sees a trace of murderous spirit in his eyes.


    What will Shi Xie do about it?


    "Newspaper!"


    Time compensation, soldiers to report: "my Lord, Shi Xie see you."


    "Please


    Liu xiuphen ordered a, the soldier goes down to pass through.Shi Xie came to the barracks, bowed his hands, and then said, "Lord, I''m here to report the full display of the food."


    Liu xiudao: "sit and say!"


    "Thank you


    After he lifted his robe and sat down, Shi Xie said, "Cangwu county is short of food in Jiaozhou. His humble position has united with the famous families in Jiaozhou to stabilize the price of food. Now, the price of grain has returned to stable, and the price has also come down. In addition, the major businesses also took out grain to continue to sell. In addition, fourteen of the major families in Jiaozhou expressed their gratitude for the Lord''s kindness and donated food to the disaster relief. The total grain donated this time is 500000 stone. This batch of grain has been arranged for disaster relief. "


    Liu Xiu thought that there were sixteen, what about the other two?


    Liu Xiu said: "Fourteen families donated grain. Are they all voluntary?"


    Shi Xie said, "it''s all voluntary."


    Liu Xiu said, "are there any involuntary ones?"


    Shi Xie replied, "there are two big clans who are unwilling. Now they have won on the ground of hoarding grain and destroying the stability of Jiaozhou."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes became more and more calm, and then asked: "how much money and food have been copied from these two families? Let''s say how much grain is equivalent to. "


    "Click!"


    In his heart, Shi Xie was nervous and said, "I will tell you that there are about 400000 stones of grain."


    When Liu Xiu asked about this, he obviously knew about it.


    Under such circumstances, it''s meaningless to hide.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "it''s equivalent to 400000 stone grain, which means that the other 14 families have donated 100000 stone grain in total. How much food has your family donated? "


    Shi Xie replied, "the Shi family donated 60000 stone grains."


    Liu Xiu said: "what a scholar family, worthy of being a hundred year old family in Jiaozhou. Yes, I am satisfied with the efforts of the scholars. But other big families are far from enough. The charge of hoarding food can not be solved easily. Weiyan, I need to deal with it further. In other words, this grain can''t offset their crime. "


    "Yes


    Shi Xie''s face twitched, and there was a chill on his back.


    This time, Shi Xie donated food for disaster relief. He took the family that the two families didn''t deal with. As for the rest, Shi Xie took this opportunity to win over.


    However, an order from Liu Xiu forced him to fight against other families.


    In any case, this will make the scholar family and the major families have a rift.


    Liu Xiu''s simple move was to avoid collusion between the scholar family and the major families. Liu Xiu looked at Shi Xie and said, "Mr. Wei Yan, as long as you work hard and enforce the law impartially, I believe that the Shi family will get more petty profits in the future. It''s all in your mind whether you want to stay in history or to make a living. "


    After hearing this, Shi Xie arched his hand and said, "yes, I understand."


    At the moment, Shi Xie felt a little bit more cold about Liu Xiu''s tactics. He has been in the officialdom for decades, and his age is several times that of Liu Xiu. However, Liu Xiu is not old enough to be so spicy.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "go down, I hope to see better results."


    Shi Xie said, "don''t worry, my Lord. I will deal with my humble position properly."


    Liu Xiu watched Shi Xie leave with a sneer in his heart.


    Although the old man was obedient to him and the scholar family was obedient to him, he always liked to try. Shi Xie is too clever, but he has too many scruples.


    When Liu Xiu asked Shi Xie to deal with the major families, he wanted to isolate the families and make them stand on the opposite side of Jiaozhou family, so that they could better control Jiaozhou. Otherwise, the families and the major families would be united, which would have an impact on the future governance.


    Liu Xiu said, "Deng Zhan!"


    "Yes


    Deng Zhan came in and bowed.


    Liu Xiu said, "get ready. Let''s go to the city. Go for a walk without the soldiers. " As for the situation in Guangxin County, although Deng Zhan inquired about the news, Liu Xiu went to see for himself.


    "Yes! I''ll be ready at once. "


    Deng Zhan went on to arrange, and soon left the camp with Liu Xiu and entered the county town.

 Chapter 472

    Liu Xiu took Deng Zhan into the county and walked around the county.


    Take a look and find out what''s going on in the city.


    The price of grain in the city has indeed stabilized. In addition, the government has opened warehouses to release grain, and the situation is under control.


    Deng Zhan followed Liu Xiushen and said, "Lord, when I was in a humble position to inquire about the situation, I learned that the Xiaoyao Pavilion in the city is the best. The wine in Xiaoyao Pavilion is quite delicious. "


    Liu xiudao: "well, go and have a try."


    Deng Zhan led the way and soon came to the Xiaoyao Pavilion in the center of the city.


    As soon as they got to the door, an attendant came up and said, "ladies and gentlemen, please!"


    Deng Zhan gave a little money as a reward and said, "prepare a quiet place by the window upstairs."


    "Good!"


    When the attendant got the money, he was naturally happy and took Liu Xiu to the second floor. When he came to the attic on the second floor, the attendant chose a quiet place by the window and could see the situation in the hall downstairs.


    The attendant said, "what do you want?"


    Deng Zhan said directly: "a pot of xiaoyaoge wine, and a few special dishes."


    "Right away!"


    The waiter went down to arrange, and soon brought the food and wine.


    Deng Zhan poured a glass of wine for himself. After he drank it, he confirmed that it was ok, and then he poured wine for Liu Xiu. Then, pointing to the innermost platform of the lobby, Deng Zhan said: "Lord, this Xiaoyao Pavilion is excellent in liquor and arguable. Anyone who drinks in Xiaoyao Pavilion can go up and make a speech. This place is also a place to ask for information. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "no, I''m looking forward to having someone try it."


    "Yiliu!"


    After drinking a glass of wine, Liu Xiu found the aroma of fruit in his chest.


    Deng Zhan said: "Lord, the wine is good."


    Liu Xiu couldn''t bear to attack Deng Zhan and said, "it''s OK." Later generations have all kinds of wine, and Liu Xiu is also a drinker. This kind of wine is not enough to make Liu Xiu feel like a peerless wine.


    Two people drink wine, listening to the discussion of the people in Xiaoyao Pavilion.


    Deng Zhandao: "Lord, look, someone is going up."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on a middle-aged man below. The man had a national face, a solemn face and a serious manner. He went to the platform in the lobby, faced the people in the lobby, and said, "in xiamaozong, I think that Liu Xiu''s coming to Jiaozhou is not the blessing of the people."


    Brush!


    There was an uproar in the lobby.


    Today, there is a person who is not afraid of death. He doesn''t like Liu Xiu.


    Deng Zhan''s face turned black and said, "Lord, I''ll go down to drive people out."


    Liu Xiu said: "it''s not clear whether to argue. It''s just time for them to debate. Besides, I''m not liked by everyone. There are always people who don''t like me. It''s normal to have people you don''t like. If you want to block the speech, you should not talk at all. "


    "But this man is really hateful," Deng said


    Liu Xiu didn''t like it and said, "keep watching."


    Mao Zong''s words aroused the interest of people drinking and chatting in the hall.


    A person''s eyes fell on Mao Zong.


    It''s a great pleasure to drink in Xiaoyao Pavilion, and it''s also a great pleasure to listen to the people on the stage talking and spitting. There are not many things to do in this era, so the Xiaoyao Pavilion attracts many people.


    Mao Zong glanced at the people around him, chin slightly up, said: "you must have doubts, why do I say that Liu Xiu is not a blessing for the people? I have three reasons! "


    "First, when uncle Liu was in Jiaozhou, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, free from the disaster of war and natural disasters, which can be described as a stable group. Now Liu Xiu is here. The frequent wars in Jiaozhou and the food shortage in Cangwu county are all caused by Liu Xiu''s coming. With so many troops under Liu Xiu''s command, Jiaozhou had to supply Liu Xiu''s army with grain. What else could the common people have when all the grain was thrown into his hands? There must be less. "


    "Second, Liu Xiu is cruel and uncle Liu is benevolent. Liu Xiuyi came to power. There were two big families in Cangwu County who were killed and the survivors were demobilized. Jiaozhou any big family, are accumulated over the years, is a scholarly family. Now, it''s just one day''s end. It''s too cruel. On the other hand, when uncle Liu was in power, he was an official who was harmonious in politics, did not kill people, did not dismiss officials, despised corvee and paid little taxes. He was an official who benefited the people. "


    "Third, Liu Xiu is greedy, and uncle Liu has nothing to do with it. When Liu Xiu first came here, he had already made a lot of money. The money of the two families who were wiped out went into Liu Xiu''s purse. On the other hand, when he arrived in Jiaozhou, he did not commit any crime, did not target any family, and fought for profits with the people everywhere. "


    Mao Zong had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "ladies and gentlemen, if you want me to say that Liu Xiu should not be allowed to stay in Jiaozhou."


    "Ha ha ha..."


    All of a sudden, a laugh rang out from the hall.


    The voice was rather soft, and then a thin young man came forward.


    The young man stared at Mao Zong and said, "nonsense!"


    The young man was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing, especially his eyes, which were shining and bright. When he came out, there was an extraordinary bearing in his manner.Deng Zhan stared at the young man and said, "my Lord, this is a woman."


    "Well!"


    Liu Xiu was very surprised. He checked carefully upstairs and found that the young man did not have an Adam''s apple. There was no doubt that she was disguised as a man. With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "listen to her."


    Mao Zong also stared at the woman and asked, "what''s your address?"


    The woman said with a smile, "my name is Shixuan."


    Mao Zong''s eyes narrowed and said, "is the scholar a member of the scholar''s family?"


    Shi Xuan shook her head and said, "is it true that all the people with surnames of Shi in Cangwu county come from the Shi family?"


    Mao Zong listened to the other party''s reply, and felt at ease. He waved his hand and said, "master, please!"


    Shi Xuan stood opposite Mao Zong and said, "what you said to me is just a bunch of nonsense. It''s totally untenable. I really don''t know where you want to live. Are you going to let the people fall into trouble again? "


    Mao Zongdao said, "if you don''t agree with me, you can refute it."


    Shi Xuan carried her hands behind her and said, "that''s what she meant."


    Deng Zhan said: "my Lord, this woman is very eloquent and dare to dress as a man. What do you think?"


    Liu Xiu glared at Deng Zhan and said, "listen!"


    Shi Xuan stared at Mao Zong and said, "you have said three things against Liu Xiu. Now, let me refute you one by one."


    "First, you are talking about food. As far as I know, after Liu Xiu led his troops into Cangwu County, he has not yet taken a grain of grain from Jiaozhou. "


    "The unstable grain price and the shortage of grain in Jiaozhou were also the result of the hoarding of grain by many aristocratic families in Jiaozhou."


    "In order to stabilize the grain, Liu Xiu ordered Shi Xie to carry out strict investigation, and then stabilized the situation and made the grain price stabilize again. As for the grain for disaster relief, Liu Xiu also urged him to do so. "


    Shixuan stared at maozong and said, "you are the one who slanders wantonly. In my opinion, you are the one who has ulterior motives."


    Mao Zong snorted: "yes, who knows?"


    Shi Xuan said: "Liu Xiu''s troops are stationed outside the city. If they use food, who can see so many people coming and going every day carrying food out of the barracks. I only saw grain for disaster relief, but not for Liu Xiu. "


    "Hum!"


    Mao Zong snorted and held his chin high.


    Shi Xuan continued: "second, you said Liu Xiu was cruel and Liu Bei was benevolent. In my opinion, I''m afraid you''re not from Jiaozhou. You don''t know the situation. Is it a secret that Liu Bei, who came from Yangzhou all the way from Nanhai county to Cangwu County, has committed many crimes


    "On the contrary, Liu Xiu, when the army arrived in Cangwu county and broke the city, did it cause any casualties?"


    "Liu Xiu ordered the army not to go out and not to commit any crimes. Have you ever heard that Liu Xiu''s soldiers killed or robbed the common people? "


    Shi Xuan looked disdainful and said, "it''s just a bunch of nonsense. It''s really a shame to talk so much."


    After a pause, Shi Xuan said, "as for the third one, it''s even more ridiculous. The two families were killed for hoarding food and raising food prices. Moreover, the food of the two families was given to the people, and Liu Xiu was not greedy. On the contrary, you get Liu Xiu''s advantage, but you slander Liu Xiu. It''s a shame. "


    Mao Zong was hot. He wanted to make a name for himself. Unexpectedly, he met a evil star.


    His three words were refuted one by one.

 Chapter 473

    Liu Xiu listened to Shi Xuan''s words with a smile on his lips.


    This woman, it''s kind of interesting.


    Liu Xiu is still quietly watching, do not know how this maozong will deal with?


    Mao Zong took a deep breath. He stared at Liu Xiu and said, "I''m afraid you''ve got the advantage of Liu Xiu, and then you''ll come here to say something nice to Liu Xiu."


    Shi Xuan said, "of course, it''s good."


    "Ha, you did admit it."


    Mao Zong''s eyes were bright, and he said: "you must be Liu Xiu''s person. Hum, how can you be worthy of refuting me? You take Liu Xiu''s advantage and naturally speak for him. "


    "Stupid!"


    Two simple words came out of Shi Xuan''s mouth.


    Mao Zong said angrily, "how dare you curse people?"


    Shi Xuan said, "did I swear? I just said the truth. You are such a sensationalist, and even you are standing in Xiaoyao Pavilion. I am really sad for the owner of Xiaoyao Pavilion. How can someone like you discredit me? "


    Mao Zong rolled up his sleeve and was furious. He looked like he was going to do it, and said, "you, a man who took advantage of Liu Xiu, have come to abuse me. You must give an account of this."


    Shi Xuan said: "it''s a taboo for Xiaoyao pavilion to do it. Are you sure you want to do it? "


    According to the rules of Xiaoyao Pavilion, if you win or lose a debate, you are not allowed to start.


    Once you start, xiaoyaoge will step in and stop it.


    The owner of Xiaoyao Pavilion is also the property of Jiaozhou family. Most people can''t afford to offend him.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed as he watched the scene.


    Deng Zhan asked, "my Lord, what are the benefits of what she said?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes also sparkled with curiosity and said, "it depends on what he said. I''m also very curious." Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Shi Xuan and was already looking forward to the answer.


    Mao Zong folded up his sleeve and said, "hum, you''re far away. I don''t agree with you. However, you haven''t come to the end. What''s the benefit of accepting Liu Xiu? I''ve made you work so hard to defend him. "


    Shi Xuan said, "I don''t know who I am. All the people in Jiaozhou have received benefits. "


    "That''s bullshit!"


    Mao Zong''s sharp eyes and strong refutation.


    Here''s the chance!


    At this time, Mao Zong finally seized the opportunity to refute.


    Shi Xuan''s big sleeves flicked and her head held high. She looked around the people in the Xiaoyao Pavilion. When she looked up to the upstairs, it happened to touch Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    Liu Xiu smiles and nods.


    Immediately, eyes will be staggered.


    Shixuan drew back her eyes and said in a loud voice: "Liu Bei occupied Jiaozhou. He had only Zhuge Liang as a counselor and Chen Zhi as a general. The rest of Liu Bei''s staff should not be worried. With Liu Bei''s ability, let alone guarding Jiaozhou, Liu Bei can''t defend Cangwu county. "


    "Why doesn''t Sun Quan attack Jiaozhou now, because he wants to use Liu Bei to contain Liu Xiu."


    "Once Sun Quan doesn''t need Liu Bei, he will attack Jiaozhou."


    Shi Xuan''s tone was firm, and she said, "besides Liu Xiu, now he''s also attacking Jiaozhou. It''s also decided by the first World War, and he has defeated Liu Bei. It can be said that Jiaozhou is always unstable in Liu Bei''s hands and may face danger at any time. "


    "But Liu Xiu is different."


    "Sun Quan of Jiangdong was defeated by Liu Xiu, so that he married his daughter to Liu Xiu."


    "Cao Cao from the North went south to Jingzhou and was defeated by Liu Xiu."


    Shi Xuan said: "Jiaozhou is under Liu Xiu''s command, which means that it will not be eroded by war and will not be attacked again. In particular, Jiaozhou, located in the rear of Jingzhou, will not be affected by the war. Now that Jiaozhou is subordinated to Liu Xiu, Jiaozhou must be peaceful, and the people will no longer have to worry about war. Isn''t this the benefit Liu Xiu has given him? "


    "Good!"


    After Liu Xiu listened, he couldn''t help clapping and making friends.


    This woman has eyes!


    To some extent, Liu Xiu''s occupation of Jiaozhou really brought peace to Jiaozhou.


    In this case, it is convincing.


    When she heard Liu Xiu''s words, she looked up and nodded slightly.


    People in the hall applauded one after another.


    Shi Xuan''s words explained this truth in simple terms. All people have to admit that Shi Xuan''s words are polite and Liu Xiu is here. Jiaozhou will not be affected by the war for quite a long time in the future.


    Mao Zong listened to Shi Xuan''s words, but he was still embarrassed. He quickly went down and left Xiaoyao Pavilion.


    Seeing that the woman was about to leave, Liu Xiu said, "Deng Zhan, go and invite the scholar to come."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan hurried downstairs, walked up to Shi Xuan and said, "what you said is refreshing. My son wants to have a drink with him. Please give him a treat. "


    "Young master, it''s time for us to go back."


    At this time, another pretty woman came in disguised as a man.This woman is twenty-eight years old. She has a pretty face. She looks like a woman. She should be Shi Xuan''s maid.


    Shi Xuan looked up at Liu Xiu and said, "well, I''ll be your son for a while."


    "Master, please!"


    Deng Zhan waved his hand to let Shixuan walk in front of him, then followed him and went upstairs with Shixuan''s servant girl. Shi Xuan strode over, Liu Xiu also stood up, arched his hand and said, "I''ve met Mr. Shi in next Deng Zhan."


    Shixuan said, "Mr. Deng, you are so polite


    Deng Zhan stood on one side, his mouth twitched slightly, and the Lord used his name. It''s really not authentic.


    However, Deng Zhan asked the valet to bring another wine cup to Shi Xuan.


    Liu Xiu picked up his wine glass and said, "what the gentleman said just now is very exciting. I''ll give you a glass of wine. "


    "Please


    Shi Xuan took the glass and drank it.


    As the glass fell, Shi Xuan said, "Mr. Deng''s accent is not like that of the local people in Cangwu county."


    Liu Xiu said, "the scholar is really powerful. I''m from Jingzhou."


    Shi Xuan''s eyes brightened and asked, "Mr. Deng is from Jingzhou. He must be very familiar with Liu Xiu. Mr. Deng, what kind of person is Liu Xiu? Although I''ve heard a lot about him, I''m in Cangwu county. I don''t know about Xiangyang in Jingzhou. "


    Deng Zhan stood aside, laughing.


    Shi Xuan asked me, which was really interesting.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said slowly: "at the beginning, Liu Xiu openly selected talents in Jingzhou, and I also had the honor to participate in the assessment. At that time, I met Liu Xiu, who was also a good man. I haven''t met Liu Xiu. I have. You see, I''m so rich and handsome. Liu Xiu is just like that. "


    "Ha ha ha Mr. Deng is very interesting. "


    Shi Xuan chuckled. It was the first time she had seen such a thick skinned person.


    Liu Xiu said: "of course, in terms of talent and learning, I can''t compare with Liu Xiu. I heard that Liu Xiu was a famous talent in Jingzhou, and his poems and Fu were very powerful. Well, in other aspects, it''s said that marching and fighting are also very fierce. "


    Shi Xuan rolled her eyes and said, "Liu Xiu can defeat Liu Bei. Naturally, it''s extraordinary. This is nonsense."


    Liu Xiu said, "that''s true. Liu Xiu is really powerful."


    Shi Xuan clapped her hands and said, "Mr. Deng, I don''t want to chat with you because I have something important to do at home. Goodbye, goodbye


    "No!"


    Liu Xiu didn''t ask him to stay, so he nodded directly.


    Seeing Shi Xuan leave, Liu Xiu murmured, "this woman is not simple. She is quite knowledgeable."


    Deng Zhan said: "if you are interested, you should send someone to inquire about it, and then send someone to propose marriage."


    Liu Xiu glared at Deng Zhan and said, "there are so many talented women in the world. Do you want to ask for marriage when you see one? It''s just a chance meeting. It''s no big deal. "


    "Yes


    Deng Zhan smiles and sits down again.


    They had a drink in the Xiaoyao Pavilion, listened to several debates in the Xiaoyao Pavilion, and then went out of the city to return to the camp.


    In the barracks, Liu Xiu called Pang Tong and Jia Xu.


    After they sat down, Pang Tong said, "my Lord asked us to come. What can I do for you?"


    Liu Xiu said: "Shiyuan, I went around the city today. Many people in Cangwu county still have prejudice against me. This matter needs to be put into operation to change the people''s view. Otherwise, although Jiaozhou is subordinate to us, the hearts of the people in Jiaozhou are no longer with me. "


    Pang Tong said with a smile, "Mr. Wenhe is good at this. He is an expert in calculating people''s affairs. "


    Jia Xu rolled his eyes and said, "Pang Shiyuan, you really can''t spit out ivory from your dog''s mouth."


    Pang Tong laughed and stopped talking.


    Jia Xu said: "Lord, it''s easy to solve this problem."


    Liu Xiu asked with a smile: "how to solve it?"

 Chapter 474

    Jia Xu laughed and said: "Lord, this is a test of humble position. From my point of view, Lord only needs to catch a few corrupt officials and punish them severely. When people see that corrupt officials are caught, they naturally feel grateful to him."


    Liu xiuxiao said: "it''s still Wenhe''s resourceful, so do it."


    In fact, Liu Xiu wanted to stabilize the situation of Jiaozhou. On the one hand, he wanted the scholars to work for him. On the other hand, he really needed prestige.


    In order to achieve this goal, we can not let the scholar''s family live in harmony.


    The aristocratic family must be isolated and can not join hands with the major aristocratic families.


    At the same time, the family must not protect each other. Once upon a time, in order to win over some officials, the scholars would turn a blind eye to the officials who were corrupt and perverted the law, but when they came to Liu Xiu, it was absolutely impossible.


    If this continues to happen, Jiaozhou will certainly rot.


    So, it''s the only way.


    Anyway, Shi Xie is a veteran and has enough endurance to resist his beating.


    Liu Xiu called out: "Deng Zhan!"


    "Yes


    Deng Zhan came in from outside the camp and bowed himself.


    Liu xiudao: "you go to find out the officials of Cangwu county and list out the officials who are corrupt and perverted the law."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan got the order, turned around and went down to carry out the task.


    Pang Tong said with a smile: "Lord, Mr. Wenhe, it''s time for SHIXIE to have a headache again."


    Jia Xu said: "I didn''t do anything bad. I just let what should happen happen happen ahead of time. If we do not catch corrupt officials now, we will catch them sooner or later. "


    Pang Tong said, "well, you always have a point in what you say."


    Liu Xiu looked at the two people talking and laughing, but also in the heart of joy.


    After the two went down, Liu Xiu dealt with government affairs in the camp, while waiting for news.


    ¡­¡­


    Prefecture, study.


    Shi Xie is so busy that he has too many things to deal with. Jiaozhou is the same in Liu Bei''s hands and the same in his hands.


    There are too many things to coordinate, and Shi Xie also has a headache. Fortunately, Shi Xie has enough prestige, things will not stop, everything is in an orderly way.


    "Dong! Dong


    Knock on the door, outside the study.


    Shi Xie said, "come in!"


    When the door opened, a middle-aged man came in. He was Shi Xie''s aide, Zhao Yan. Zhao Wenwei was Shi Xie''s confidant.


    After entering, Zhao Yan bowed his hands and sat down.


    Shi Xie said, "Wen said, is there anything wrong?"


    Zhao Yan replied: "Sir, just got the news, Liu Jingzhou seems to be sending someone to investigate the officials of Cangwu county. It''s just news for the time being. I don''t know whether it''s true or not. "


    Brush!


    Shi Xie''s face suddenly changed.


    In his eyes, he showed a calm look.


    "Alas..."


    Shi Xie sighed and said, "it''s not easy to work under Liu Xiu''s command."


    Zhao Yan said: "why did you say that?"


    Shi Xie replied, "before Liu Xiu, I asked my official to open a warehouse to release grain to relieve the disaster. At that time, with the help of Liu Xiu''s hand, I killed the two hostile families of Cangwu county and the scholar''s family, and collected food. Originally, everyone was happy, but Liu Xiu was not satisfied. He asked me to find other families to collect food, so that he offended many families. The scholar''s family had a bad relationship with the major families and was gradually isolated. Liu Xiu was responsible for all this. Now it seems that Liu Xiu is going to attack officials again. I''m afraid it will affect me again. "


    Zhao Yan said: "since you understand, what are you going to do?"


    Shi Xie looked helpless and said, "now that I have stepped on Liu Xiu''s boat, there is no way."


    Zhao Yan said: "Liu Xiu is not a simple man."


    Shi Xie replied: "if Liu Xiu were simple, he would not have been in charge of Jingzhou at such an age. He could defeat Cao Cao and suppress Sun Quan. This person is not easy. "


    "Newspaper!"


    Outside the study, there was another knock on the door.


    The attendant said, "my Lord, Liu Jingzhou has sent someone to send a message. Please go."


    Shi Xie said, "I''ll go right away!"


    Shi Xie shrugged his shoulders, looked helpless, and said, "look, this man is not allowed. As soon as he said it, he came. " He got up and left the prefecture and went out to Liu Xiu''s camp.


    Out of the prefecture, Shi Xie came to the camp and saw Liu Xiu in the tent.


    "See you, Lord!"


    Shi Xie bowed to salute.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Mr. Wei Yan, please sit down!"


    Shi Xie said, "Lord Xie!"


    After sitting down, Shi Xie asked, "my Lord, please come here. What can I do for you?"


    Liu Xiu took a roll of bamboo slips out of his hand and let Deng Zhan pass it to Shi Xie. He said, "Mr. Wei Yan, have a look!" The contents on the bamboo slips are all the information from Deng Zhan''s investigation. It''s not bad. I don''t know. I''m scared when I check. Many officials in Cangwu county have evidence of corruption. What''s more, these criminal evidences can be easily found out without any investigation.Shi Xie''s hand trembled a little. He opened the bamboo slips. His eyes swept, and his hand trembled.


    The criminal evidence of each official is listed clearly.


    Liu Xiu gave these to him to deal with, and clearly asked him to do it. As a matter of fact, these officials have a lot to do with the scholar''s family.


    Once Shi Xie started, it really offended Jiaozhou officialdom.


    At that time, the scholar''s family will be just the scholar''s family, no longer the taxi''s family that used to call the wind and rain.


    Liu Xiu said, "Mr. Wei Yan, how difficult are you to deal with these people?"


    Shi Xie arched his hand and said, "report back to my Lord. I will give you an account of my humble position."


    Liu xiudao said: "not for me, but for the people in Cangwu county and even Jiaozhou. You are the governor of Jiaozhou. You want the people to see the difference and trust the government. "


    "Yes, I''m sure I''ll get things done."


    Shi Xie''s heart is dripping with blood, and Liu Xiu gives him a hot potato.


    This time, it''s really difficult.


    But if Shi Xie didn''t take it, he had to take it. He had to do it according to Liu Xiu''s idea.


    Shi Xie said, "it''s not too late. I''ll deal with it now."


    "Go


    As soon as Liu Xiu waved his hand, he asked Shi Xie to step down. Seeing Shi Xie leave, Liu Xiu said, "Deng Zhan, carefully stare at Shi Xie''s actions and see how he deals with these corrupt officials."


    "No!"


    When Deng Zhan heard the speech, he held his fist.


    Shi Xie went back to the prefecture and invited Zhao Yan to his study.


    Zhao Yan said: "my Lord, what did Liu Xiu arrange?"


    Shi Xie took out the bamboo slips given by Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Xiu wants to wash Cangwu county''s Officialdom with blood. Among Cangwu county''s officials, almost all those who are involved in corruption are listed. This time, Liu Xiu is going to kill with the help of my husband. When Liu Xiu did this, the people naturally thought he was good, but these dead officials, as well as those who were not killed, would certainly hate me. "


    Zhao Yan suddenly said: "my Lord, I think of two words."


    Shi Xie said, "what do you mean?"


    Zhao Yan a word of a way: "solitary minister!"


    Boom!


    Shi Xie understood in an instant, and his eyes showed an incredible look.


    Zhao Yan said: "the purpose of Liu Xiu''s doing this is to straighten out the officialdom so that the people can read his good deeds and think that Liu Xiu is a man of great achievements. On the other hand, whether it is the former Jiaozhou aristocratic family or Jiaozhou officialdom, the adults have offended. Now, it is clear that he is an isolated minister. "


    Shi Xie pinched his beard under his jaw and said, "I didn''t think about it before. Now it seems that it is true."


    Zhao Yan said: "if so, it is a good thing."


    Shi Xie said: "indeed, if Liu Xiu let me be an orphan, at least Liu Xiu trusted me. Although I''m old, I''m in good health. I can still see the day when Liu Xiu is competing in the world. "


    Zhao Yan''s mouth twitched slightly, and his heart said, you really think about it, and then you think about Liu Xiu''s pursuit of the world.


    Shi Xie laughed and said, "I know what to do. Since Liu Xiu asked me to do his Dao, I''ll do it."


    Zhao Yan said: "my Lord, I have another suggestion."


    "What''s the suggestion?" Shi Xie asked

 Chapter 475

    Zhao Yan was silent for a moment, said: "I heard that the adult has a young girl, 28 years old, is a young age."


    In a word, Shi Xie suddenly understood.


    Shi Xie did have a little daughter, smart and smart.


    He had many sons, but only three daughters. In particular, the eldest daughter and the second daughter have already married, and they are already in their 40s and 50s. Now, this 16-year-old daughter is very much spoiled and is the apple of his eye.


    Shi Xie said, "Zhao Yan, I will consider your suggestion again."


    Zhao Yan said solemnly: "what else do you have to consider? It''s hard for a marriage to have its own choice. The identity of the three girls made it impossible for her to marry at will. So why not marry Liu Xiu? As long as the three girls are married to Liu Xiu, the relationship between the adults and Liu Xiu will be further developed. At that time, the big talents will have a firm foothold. "


    "Liu Xiu has a bright future. After that, Liu Xiu has made some achievements. When the three girls follow Liu Xiu, they are naturally rich and prosperous. It''s also an excellent choice for the three girls. "


    " whether it''s for the three girls, or for adults, I think marriage is appropriate. "


    Zhao Yan''s eyes are burning, waiting for Shi Xie''s reply.


    We should be constantly determined, but we should be disturbed.


    When it''s time to make a decision, don''t hesitate. Zhao Yan believes that Shi Xie can make the most appropriate choice.


    After a long silence, Shi Xie said, "I understand. I will handle this matter well."


    Zhao Yan said: "your honor is wise!"


    Shi Xie waved, and Zhao Yan bowed down. He sat alone in his study, and his daughter''s smile came to mind. For this daughter, many people came to propose marriage, but Shi Xie let her choose by herself, without interference.


    So far, there is no one his daughter likes.


    Shi Xie''s daughter is afraid of melting in her mouth and falling in her hand.


    Therefore, he did not have the heart to let his daughter marry.


    But as Zhao Yan said, how can the daughter of a wealthy family have independent marriage?


    Shi Xie got up and went to the back yard. He came to his daughter''s yard and saw her reading. This woman, dressed in a simple plain dress, has a delicate appearance and clear eyes. When she sits quietly reading, she has the feeling of poetry.


    Excellent temperament!


    Beautiful looking!


    This woman, quite temperament.


    If Liu Xiu saw it, he would be surprised, because she was Shi Xuan.


    She saw Shi Xie come in, put down the book in her hand, went up and took Shi Xie''s arm, and said with a smile, "Dad is busy with government affairs these days. How can he have time to find his daughter?"


    Shi Xie said with a smile, "Dad is in trouble. Come to my little Ban Zhao!"


    Ban Zhao, also known as Ji, is the daughter of ban Biao and the sister of Ban Gu, a historian of the Eastern Han Dynasty.


    At the age of 14, he married Cao Shishu, also known as Cao family. Ban Zhao was erudite and talented. His brother Ban Gu wrote the book of Han Dynasty, but he died before he finished it. Ban Zhao was ordered to go to the palace to continue writing the book of Han Dynasty.


    At that time, it can be seen from a woman''s sequel in Hanban.


    Shi Xuan was close to Shi Xie. She was also familiar with classics and knew something about politics.


    Shi Xie praised Shi Xuan, so he called him Xiao Ban Zhao.


    Shi Xuan said, "what''s the problem with dad? Let''s talk about it. My daughter must know everything and say everything."


    "Ha, I know everything and say everything."


    Shi Xie stroked his beard with a smile. But deep in my eyes, there is a touch of sadness.


    After a pause, Shi Xie said, "today Liu Xiu sent someone to invite me and gave me a roll of bamboo slips. This bamboo slip records the corrupt officials in Cangwu county. "


    Shi Xuan''s eyes were very bright and said, "Dad, this is a good thing."


    Shi Xie said: "how can I see it?"


    Shi Xuan replied: "regardless of Liu Xiu''s thoughts, Liu Xiu gave his father bamboo slips instead of directly sending someone to arrest these people. That is to take care of his father''s face and give him a chance to build up power. When dad was in charge of Jiaozhou, he also needed a greater reputation and an image. Now that these corrupt officials are killed, the people will naturally believe in their father. "


    Shi Xie said with a smile, "our little Ban Zhao is really good."


    Shi Xuan raised her chin and said with a smile, "do you worry about the complicated relationship between these officials?"


    Shi Xie said: "there are such considerations."


    Shi Xuan said, "my daughter asked my father a question."


    "What''s the problem?" Shi Xie asked.


    For this little girl, Shi Xie sometimes also quite admire. Sometimes this daughter can think of things that he can''t think of, and have different opinions.


    Shi Xuan said with a smile: "without Liu Xiu, can the Shi family be stronger in Jiaozhou?"


    Shi Xie said, "the scholar''s family is named Guanjiao state. It has reached the peak."


    Shi Xuan laughed and said: "since the Shi family is a famous Guanjiao state and has reached the peak, do you still need to worry about these officials? My father killed corrupt officials in an honest and upright way. He killed them in accordance with the law of the people''s Republic of China, not by conspiracy. And only in this way can dad have a chance to go further and the scholar family have a chance to go out of Jiaozhou. "Shi Xie took his daughter''s hand, laughed and said, "xuan''er is really Ban Zhao of my father. Alas, if xuan''er gets married, what will my father do if he is not used to it?"


    Shixuan said, "my daughter will not marry!"


    Shi Xie stroked Shi Xuan''s hair and said, "how can Xuan er not marry when she grows up?"


    Listen to Shi Xie''s tone, Shi Xuan eyebrows a pick.


    Suddenly, there is a guess in my heart.


    Shi Xuan took a deep breath and said, "my father has chosen the right person for Xuan er. Is that Liu Xiu?"


    As a rich family, Shi Xuan naturally knows the rules. Listening to the tone of Shi Xie and his abnormality today, Shi Xuan immediately responded.


    Shi Xie said: "Dad has this plan, but it''s up to xuan''er to decide everything. My father will invite Liu Xiu to the banquet. When the time comes, how about seeing xuan''er and thinking about it again? "


    In the words, Shi Xuan was given a choice.


    Shixuan said, "thank you, Dad!"


    When Shi Xie saw that his daughter didn''t object, he was also relieved. He just thought that once his daughter got married, there would be no cotton padded jacket around him. He was still not used to it.


    Shixuan said, "Dad, there''s another thing that comes to mind for my daughter."


    "What''s the matter?" Shi Xie Dao.


    Shi Xuan said: "my daughter once went to Xiaoyao pavilion to play, but some people still hate Liu Xiu. Since my father has been subordinated to Liu Xiu, he should consider it for Liu Xiu, otherwise Liu Xiu will definitely have an opinion. "


    "My father is in charge of Jiaozhou. Although you are in charge, he is actually in charge of Jiaozhou instead of Liu Xiu."


    "If the people are hostile to Liu Xiu, he will definitely have an opinion."


    Shi Xuan''s eyes twinkled with Jing Mang, and said: "this time my father wants to kill corrupt officials, it''s just an opportunity for Liu Xiu to correct his name. When his father killed him, he let the people recognize Liu Xiu under the banner of Liu Xiu. People recognize Liu Xiu, and then Liu Xiu recognizes his father. "


    When Shi Xie heard these words, his heart suddenly moved.


    Liu Xiu asked him to deal with corrupt officials, could there be this reason?


    Maybe, too!


    Shi Xie laughed, stroked his beard and said, "xuan''er is really Ban Zhao of my father. Your analysis is reasonable. My father knows."


    Shi Xuan said, "Dad, what does Liu Xiuchang look like?"


    Liu Junyi said, "he is a free and easy man. In terms of talent, you have heard about Liu Xiuli''s talent. In terms of means, my father sometimes sighs for himself


    Shi Xuan rolled her eyes and said, "look what my father said. It seems that Liu Xiu is omnipotent."


    Shi Xie said with a smile: "in a word, Liu Xiu is really good. Well, dad thought of one more thing. It''s said that up to now, the women around Liu Xiu haven''t even slapped him. "


    Brush!


    Shi Xuan''s even red, Jiao angry way: "dad really is."


    Shi Xie laughed and said, "well, Dad won''t disturb your reading. When Dad invites him, he''ll let you know. "


    "Well!"


    Shi Xuan personally sent Shi Xie out of the yard and then went back to the yard.


    Shi Xuan picked up the book again, but after looking at it, she couldn''t calm down. With a doubt in her eyes, she murmured, "what kind of person are you?"

 Chapter 476

    Guangxin County, west of the city.


    "Wheel! Wheel


    The wheels turn, and the prison cars come slowly.


    On the street of Caishikou, there are nine prison cars, each with a prisoner in custody.


    "Dang! Dang


    Gong sound, constantly resounding in the street.


    The people stood on both sides, looking at the prisoners in the van, pointing and talking.


    "I know the man in the third prison car. That''s the county master of Guangxin county. He was fine some time ago. Why was he suddenly detained in a prison car and wanted to go to the vegetable market? "


    "Well, the county magistrate''s house has found 100000 gold and countless land deeds. He is a county master. He is greedy for so much money. It is said that Guangxin county is short of grain. He has embezzled a lot of grain. "


    "Damn it. I heard that he was very good. I didn''t expect that he was human faced and beast hearted. He was so hateful."


    "See the man in the first van? That''s the governor of Cangwu county. This man is even more hateful. He even likes to kill people. He kills every peddler in prison. What''s more, he''s robbing the women of the people. It''s so hateful. "


    "The man in the second prison car is the inspector of Cangwu county. It''s said that he is responsible for inspecting counties and townships. When he went down to the counties, the masters of the counties kept sending money and women in order to flatter him. The money he found in his family is more than that in the county master''s house in Guangxin county. "


    "See the man in the fifth van? He is the magistrate of Mengling county. When I was in business, I went to Mengling County, where the taxes were extremely high. Moreover, people in Mengling County said that there were too many exorbitant taxes and levies. Most of the tax revenue went into his pocket and was embezzled by him. "


    The common people pointed at the people in the prison wagon, pointing at them one by one.


    The common people are honest, but they hate corrupt officials most.


    Because the money of greedy ink comes from them. Therefore, Shi Yi openly dealt with these corrupt officials and won the praise of the people.


    Punish the evil and promote the good!


    This is the most basic law.


    A prison car stopped at the edge of the vegetable market.


    A prison car opened, and all the corrupt officials were taken to the execution ground and knelt down.


    Around the execution ground, people were watching.


    In the crowd, there were several people in black, surrounded by a young man. This man is Liu Xiu. This time, Liu Xiu came to see and listen to the people''s opinions.


    On the execution ground, corrupt officials have been in place.


    At this time, Shi Xie was wearing an official uniform and appeared at the top.


    Shi Xie''s face was serious and upright. Facing all the people, he said in a loud voice: "I have been ordered by Liu Jingzhou to thoroughly investigate Cangwu county and even Jiaozhou. It''s not bad. I don''t know. I''m scared when I check. Unexpectedly, there are so many corrupt officials and so many moths in Cangwu county. Today, according to Liu Jingzhou''s order, I will supervise and kill all corrupt officials. "


    As soon as the words came out, the people immediately cried out.


    "Well, that''s what we should do. If corrupt officials are not killed, our people will have no good life. When Liu Jingzhou comes to Jiaozhou, we don''t have to be oppressed by corrupt officials. "


    "Well done. If these corrupt officials are not killed, it will not be enough to calm the people''s anger."


    "When to kill, to kill! Well done


    One by one, the people are talking and their eyes are shining. Everyone''s eyes are full of excitement.


    Liu Xiu stood in the crowd, listening to the people''s comments, his mouth raised a smile.


    If the popular support is available, the stability of Jiaozhou will be around the corner.


    If Jiaozhou''s people''s hearts are against each other, and everyone thinks that Liu Xiu is overcharging, then Liu Xiu will not be able to take charge of Jiaozhou for a long time, even if he is in control.


    This is the most appropriate way to set up a model and stabilize the morale of the army.


    Liu Xiu looked at Shi Xie with a look of appreciation in his eyes.


    After all, Shi Xie understood his intention.


    Standing on the high platform, he watched the people around him cheering and raised his hands to make the people quiet. Then, Shi Xie read out the criminal evidence of each corrupt official one by one, and finally said: "the time is up, execute!"


    "Chop!"


    Shi Xie gave an order and dropped the token.


    The nine executioners, armed with knives, drank a mouthful of liquor, sprayed it on the blade, and swung it.


    "Puchi!"


    A knife fell, the knife light flashing, a round head with blood, bone rolling on the ground, leaving a pool of blood.


    "Puchi! Wheezing


    One blade fell, and all the other eight officials were killed.


    Nine heads fell to the ground, red in color.


    Nine bodies fell to the ground, all in blood.


    Shi Xie looked at the nine dead officials and waved: "after the execution, all the bodies will be taken away." One by one, the soldiers came forward and took all the bodies away.However, Shi Xie did not leave.


    Shi Xie was still standing on the execution ground. He looked at the people around him and said in a loud voice: "villagers, today''s killing of corrupt officials is just the beginning, not the end. Liu Jingzhou said, "we will never tolerate all corrupt officials."


    "It''s been seized. There''s no amnesty for killing."


    "Villagers need not worry about corrupt officials in the future."


    "Jiaozhou will certainly get better and better under the governance of Liu Jingzhou."


    Shi Xie said: "I can guarantee that I will never allow any corrupt officials to exploit the people. In the future, Cangwu county will be able to coordinate its politics and people. In the future, Jiaozhou officialdom will be a clean government. "


    "Good!"


    "Well, Mr. Shi said it well."


    After hearing this, the people around the execution ground were overjoyed.


    No matter what he did in the future, what he said now really moved all the people.


    When Liu Xiu saw this scene, he felt that Taoist Xie was very old. Shi Xie wanted to stabilize the people''s will and let the people see the strength of the government. There is no doubt that his speech was most convincing after he killed the corrupt officials. When Shi Xie speaks now, the people will not doubt him. Who will doubt a man who dares to kill so many corrupt officials?


    After reading it, Liu Xiu stopped staying and left under the protection of the soldiers.


    Back at the camp, Liu Xiu was waiting for news from Huang Zhong.


    When Huang Zhong leads his troops to Jiaozhou, Liu Xiu can withdraw and return to Jingzhou.


    Not long after Liu Xiugang returned to the camp, Shi Xie also came to the camp to see him. SHIXIE bowed to give a salute, sat down and said: "Lord, the corrupt officials in Cangwu county have been dealt with once. Next, the humble Council will deal with the corrupt officials in other counties and counties, and will give the people of the state a chance. "


    Liu Xiu nodded his head with satisfaction and said, "I''m relieved that Wei Yangong does things."


    Shi Xie said: "Lord, after these officials are killed, they have to be reappointed. I don''t know. What''s your plan? "


    Liu Xiu said: "for the positions that need to be added, you can draw up a list, I will approve it, and then arrange it directly. As a new official, I don''t want any more crooked melons and dates, or people with mixed qualities. "


    "Yes, I understand."


    In his heart, there was joy.


    Liu Xiu does not interfere in the arrangement of officials, but only approves them, which means that he can arrange for people close to him or his cronies.


    To some extent, this strengthened the power of Shi Xie.


    However, Liu Xiu was not worried. With Huang Zhong leading the troops, there would be no problem in Jiaozhou.


    Shi Xie changed his words and said, "my Lord, I have another thing to do. I don''t know if I can ask your honor."


    "What''s the matter?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Shi Xie looked calm and replied, "my Lord has been in Guangxin County for some time. I''m going to give a banquet in my house tomorrow to thank my Lord for his support and respect for me. On the other hand, tomorrow is also my wife''s 60th birthday, and I want to celebrate her. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Weiyan is really modest. It''s my official who relies on Weiyan. Weiyan''s house, I''m going. Tomorrow morning, I will be on time for the banquet. "


    "Thank you, Lord."


    Shi Xie was relieved. As long as Liu Xiu was willing to go to the banquet, it would be easy.


    At that time, I''ll see the fate of xuan''er and Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "Mr. Wei Yan, you have to pay attention to your health during this busy period of government affairs. After all, it''s elderly people who can''t work too hard. "


    Shi Xie arched his hand and said, "thank you for your understanding. I can do my humble job. Although I am old, I can eat and drink. "


    "That''s good!"


    Liu Xiu smiles. He knows that according to history, Shi Xie has a long time to live. He''s only about 90 years old. He''s still about 70 years old.

 Chapter 477

    In the morning, the sun rises.


    Throughout the camp, there was a golden glow.


    After getting up for morning exercise, Liu Xiu had breakfast and took Deng Zhan to Shi''s home. Now Guangxin County, even the four gates, are under the control of Liu Xiu, so Liu Xiu can swagger into the city.


    When he arrived at Shi''s home, after Deng Zhan reported to him, Shi Xie went out to meet him personally.


    Liu Xiu entered the mansion, while Deng Zhan gave him a gift.


    Shi Xie''s wife''s 60th birthday. Liu Xiu must prepare a gift for her birthday, otherwise she will be laughed at.


    Entering the mansion, many people have come.


    People come and go. It''s very busy.


    Seeing that Shi Xie was very busy, Liu Xiu said, "Mr. Wei Yan, it''s a busy day today. You can be busy, but you are. I''ll walk around with Deng Zhan. You don''t have to accompany me. "


    Shi Xie shook his head and said, "how can this work? You have other people to take care of it."


    Liu Xiu said, "don''t bother, Mr. Wei. When the guests leave in the evening, it''s not too late for you and me to talk. Now, you''re busy. Otherwise, I''ll have to go back first and come back later. "


    Shi Xie said: "thank you for your understanding."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand to show Shi Xie to be busy.


    Shi Xie pointed to the passage leading to the backyard Pavilion and said, "Lord, this is the way to the backyard Pavilion pond. Many guests are also playing in the backyard. Lord can also go to enjoy the scenery."


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu nodded and took Deng Zhan to the back yard.


    When they left the backyard, they saw that many of the guests also went to the backyard.


    The backyard of the scholar''s family covers a large area. Liu Xiu''s cursory scan shows that it is at least nearly 1000 square meters, with pavilions and rockery ponds. The layout is elegant, exquisite and very comfortable.


    Many guests are playing in the backyard.


    Liu Xiu stood among them, but no one recognized him. There are not many people in the officialdom, and Liu Xiu seldom shows up. It''s Shi Xie who is in charge of the overall situation, so Liu Xiu is at ease.


    "Eh, Mr. Deng!"


    Suddenly, a soft voice came from behind Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu did not stop, but still walked forward with Deng Zhan, enjoying the beautiful scenery in the courtyard.


    Pavilions, rockeries, ponds, lotus flowers, willows It has to be said that although the backyard garden is not luxurious, it is elegant in style, and Liu Xiu also appreciates it.


    "Mr. Deng, Mr. Deng!"


    Shouts, still coming from behind.


    Liu Xiu still didn''t notice, and Deng Zhan talked and laughed forward.


    "Deng Zhan, maybe people are calling you."


    When Liu Xiu thought of Deng Zhan''s name, he said something with evil taste.


    Deng Zhan laughed and said: "Lord, I don''t know anyone. How can someone call me Mr. Deng? Don''t make fun of me. "


    They talked and laughed and went on.


    "Mr. Deng, why don''t you stop?"


    Suddenly, a hand came out and patted Liu Xiu on the back.


    In this moment, Deng Zhan has turned around, he is about to hand the moment, once stopped. Deng Zhan also had a smile on his face.


    Just now I said that Mr. Deng is really looking for him.


    Liu Xiu looked back and was surprised to see the visitor. Didn''t he meet Shi Xuan in Xiaoyao pavilion?


    At this time, Liu Xiu is also dumbfounded.


    Mr. Deng, it''s him!


    In Xiaoyao Pavilion, Liu Xiu used the name of Deng Zhan. Liu Xiu looked at Shi Xuan and said with a smile, "the gentleman is also at the scholar''s home. Is it because he wants to attend the birthday of Wei Yan''s old wife?"


    Shi Xuan was stunned and nodded: "yes, yes, I''m also a Shi. I have some relationship with the Shi family, so I''m here to attend the birthday party."


    In fact, Shi Xuan came to see Liu Xiu quietly.


    Not long ago, Shi Xie sent someone to inform her that Liu Xiu had come to the backyard to see the scenery and asked her to come ahead of time. Shi Xuan was also anxious. Before waiting for someone to lead the way, she came first. In order to avoid being discovered by Liu Xiu and to hide her identity, she changed into a man''s suit.


    Unexpectedly, just came to the backyard met an acquaintance Deng Zhan.


    It''s really fate.


    However, Shi Xuan didn''t know Liu Xiu''s identity. At this time, the servant in the distance was supposed to identify Liu Xiu to Shi Xuan. However, when the attendant saw that Shixuan was standing with Liu Xiu, and said he was laughing, he stopped immediately.


    This is all chatting together, how dare they go up again, had to obediently walk.


    Liu Xiu''s heart is a little strange. Shi Xuan is clearly a daughter, but she disguises herself as a man to the banquet. It''s really a miracle.


    Maybe it''s just for dinner.


    Liu Xiu did not go to the bottom of the matter in his heart. He said with a smile: "Mr. Shi, the pavilions and pavilions in the yard, the ponds and rockeries are really good. They are worth seeing."


    Shi Xuan raised her eyebrows and said, "really? So does Mr. DengA little bit of joy, in Shi Xuan''s heart.


    The pavilions, pavilions, ponds and rockeries in the courtyard were all arranged by her.


    "Of course, it''s really good," Liu said


    Shi Xuan''s words changed, but she didn''t talk much about the layout of the courtyard. She said: "that day in Xiaoyao Pavilion, Mr. Deng seemed to be interested in Liu Xiu. I think Mr. Deng is a talented man. Why doesn''t Mr. Deng work for Liu Xiu?"


    Liu Xiu said: "the idle clouds and wild cranes are used to it. They don''t obey the rules."


    "Ha ha ha, Mr. Deng is really interesting."


    Shi Xuan had a smile on her face. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu gave such an answer. How old is that? I''m used to talking about idle clouds and wild cranes. It''s really a bit of twilight.


    "Zheng! "Zheng


    Melodious and graceful music comes from pavilions.


    A zither player is sitting in the pavilion, playing a piece for the tourists to boost the fun.


    Shixuan turned her eyes and said, "can Mr. Deng play the piano?"


    "I know a little, but I''m not very proficient."


    Liu Xiu smiles. He doesn''t know what the woman''s idea is. But he had nothing to do, so he just stayed with Shixuan.


    Shi Xuan said, "the zither player''s skill is not bad, but that''s all. Anyway, Mr. Deng has nothing to do with his visit to the garden. It''s better to play a tune on the zither in order to play time. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "forget it. I''m a three legged cat. It''s hard to be elegant."


    Liu Xiu can''t play guqin, but he is proficient in it. I grew up with Liu Biao when I was a child. I know a little about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Not really proficient. But also a little.


    Shi Xuan said: "anyway, there is nothing to do, so don''t refuse."


    "Well, I''ll try."


    Liu Xiu was amused. He was making trouble in the backyard. He didn''t know if Taoist Xie would rise when he found out.


    When they arrive at the pavilion, Shi Xuan stares at the zither player and asks her not to divulge information. Then she asks the zither player to leave. Shi Xuan gave a smile, waved her hand and said, "Mr. Deng, please!"


    Not far away, visitors wait and see.


    Among them, Shi Xie came far away, and he saw Liu Xiu and Shi Xuan in the pavilion.


    In order not to let Liu Xiu see through her identity, the little girl specially called for a man to dress up. She just wanted to wait and see from a distance and didn''t want to meet Liu Xiu. But now, the little girl took the initiative to chat with Liu Xiu, and let Liu Xiu play the piano, which is clearly very harmonious.


    Shi Xie left quietly with joy in his heart.


    After Liu Xiu sat down, he was stunned and didn''t know what to play? Although I can play the piano, I haven''t played it for a long time. Now it''s quite difficult to play the piano all of a sudden.


    Shi Xuan said with a smile, "Mr. Deng, please."


    At the moment, Shi Xuan is also a playful girl. She thinks that the young master Deng in front of her is good. She has already forgotten Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "I haven''t played the piano for a long time. I''m not used to playing it for the first time."


    Shixuan said, "it''s OK. It''s a game anyway. It''s nothing."


    Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "I''ll make a fool of myself. I''ll try to play a piece of music first, and then I''ll play it formally." In Liu Xiu''s mind, he had already figured out how to play.


    Shi Xuan said with a smile, "OK, Mr. Deng, please."

 Chapter 478

    Liu Xiu closed his eyes for a moment and tried to adjust his state.


    In the mind, mobilize the memory of this life. In his previous life, he did not know how to play, but only how to play. What we should rely on is the memory of Qin art in this life. It''s just that the level of Qin music in this life is not advanced, it''s just understanding.


    After thinking for a moment, Liu Xiu fiddled with it, and the disorderly music was uploaded from Jiaowei.


    But Shixuan was good at Qin music. After listening to it, she understood.


    Liu Xiu plays the Phoenix courtship. Liu Xiu''s playing is very messy. Originally, someone in the pavilion was going to listen to it. Let''s see Liu Xiu''s performance.


    But now, with disgust on their faces, they shake their heads and turn away.


    After all, they all came to the banquet and didn''t say anything. At most, they were despised in their hearts.


    On Shi Xuan''s face, the expression is also quite helpless.


    Shi Xuan is quite proficient in Qin music. She is proficient in Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. Now when she listens to Liu Xiu playing, she feels embarrassed to stop her. But if we don''t stop it, Liu Xiu''s playing is really helpless.


    "Oh, no, there are some changes."


    Shi Xuan was surprised when she listened.


    Liu Xiu was unfamiliar from the beginning, and his playing was also sparse, but now after playing for a while, he became fluent.


    At this time, Shi Xuan believed Liu Xiu.


    Honest gentleman!


    Shi Xuan nodded in her heart. Liu Xiu had said that she knew something about it before, and she had not played it for a long time.


    Isn''t that the situation now?


    Shi Xuan''s impression of Liu Xiu suddenly changed.


    With the passage of time, the song "Phoenix courtship" has more and more charm under Liu Xiu''s fingertips.


    After listening to the song, she began to appreciate it and gradually immersed herself in the song. But in Shi Xuan''s heart, she also felt that Liu Xiu was playing "Phoenix''s courtship" at the wrong time. She didn''t choose the right person to play "Phoenix''s courtship" at this time.


    It should be to find the woman you love, and then play Phoenix courtship.


    "Zheng! "Zheng


    The music is getting better and better, and Liu Xiu''s technique is becoming more and more skilled.


    Deng Zhan stood aside, listening to the music of Qin, from disturbing the ears at the beginning, to the present music. He was also secretly praised in his heart. He said: the Lord is worthy of being the Lord, and it''s really amazing that he can sell the piano now.


    "Zheng!"


    All of a sudden, the music stops suddenly.


    The wonderful sound of the piano disappears, and people are suddenly pulled back to reality.


    Shi Xuan is very clear about the rhythm of "Phoenix''s courtship". According to the music of Qin, this song of Phoenix''s courtship has just moved forward. It should not stop suddenly now.


    Shi Xuan asked, "Mr. Deng, why did you stop?"


    Liu Xiu replied: "the song" Phoenix courtship "is not suitable for the present occasion. I''ll change it."


    Shi Xuan said with a smile, "Oh, I''m all ears."


    Although she didn''t hear the complete Phoenix courtship, Shi Xuan was not angry and waited for Liu Xiu to play.


    For the next tune, Liu Xiu did not choose one of the times, but one he liked very much. The rhythm of this piece is different from that of Guqin. In later generations, Liu Xiu could hum. Although Liu Xiu has no music score, he has the memory of later generations, and his master''s piano skill, so he should not make mistakes.


    Liu Xiu said: "shigongzi, the next tune may be different. Please give me your advice."


    Shixuan said, "Mr. Deng, please!"


    Liu Xiu adjusted his breath and state. His hand fell on the string and moved it. In a flash, a rather deep and loud accent sounded in the hall.


    "Zheng!"


    This voice, instantly brought people into the battlefield of the golden age.


    Ten thousand horses roar together, killing the sky.


    Shi Xuan''s eyes widened in an instant, and her face looked incredible. The voice just now made her get goose bumps all over her body, even a feeling of electric shock.


    Shi Xuan himself was familiar with poetry, and also had something to do with military strategy. She listened to the dull voice and felt the difference.


    The most important thing is that Shi Xuan has never heard of it.


    As a person who is proficient in playing the piano, she is familiar with all kinds of music, but she has never heard this one, which shows that it is different.


    Or, it''s original.


    Shi Xuan looked at Liu Xiu with a different look.


    "Zheng!"


    "Zheng!"


    "Zheng!"


    Continuous three tone stress, low but more and more loud and powerful.


    The speed is rapid and the voice is sharp.


    The continuous stress rings out, bringing the listeners to a battlefield.


    The more she listened, the more incredible she felt. As a person who is good at piano art, the gradual and rapid sound just now has the taste of golden and iron horse, which makes Shi Xuan infatuated.grand and magnificent!


    In her mind, she only thought of these four words.


    With the full development of Qin music, the atmosphere became low.


    As if the wind and rain is coming, as if the city is under the pressure of black clouds.


    A force, as if in the accumulation.


    An undercurrent, as if surging.


    In Shi Xuan''s mind, there was no Liu Xiu playing the piano. It was the scene of the golden drums and horns singing together. It was the scene of people shouting and waving flags.


    How magnificent!


    How powerful!


    Shi Xuan was enchanted by the scene.


    Talented!


    How talented!


    Shi Xuan''s heart was full of praise. Shi Xuan even clenched her fist as the sound of the zither progressed, and he was totally intoxicated.


    When Liu Xiu played music, he became more and more intoxicated and excited.


    The skills of the master are fully developed, even far superior to the master.


    The scenes of fighting each other in short combat, swords and guns, fighting in the battlefield are constantly displayed from the music.


    Life and death struggle, the sound of horse hooves, the sound of knife and dagger impact, the sound of fighting, interweave ups and downs. The whole music is more and more high pitched. The sound of the horse''s hooves was rapid, and the sound gradually became solemn and stirring.


    Liu Xiu''s playing is more and more urgent, and his playing speed is faster and faster.


    "Zheng!"


    All of a sudden, the rapid sound of the piano suddenly stopped.


    All the voices in the hall disappeared.


    Everything, stop.


    The storm disappeared and the sun came out.


    Liu Xiu stopped and let out a long sigh of relief. It''s not easy to play this piece. When he played, he almost lost his head several times, but he finished playing without danger.


    At the end of the music, Shi Xuan didn''t open her eyes for the time being. She was still thinking about it.


    After a long time, Shi Xuan recovered her composure. She opened her eyes and asked, "Mr. Deng, what is this song?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "the name of the song is ambush on all sides!"


    Shi Xuan arched her hand and said, "Mr. Deng still said that he can''t play the piano. This song" ambush on all sides "is a classic. But I don''t know if this piece was created by Mr. Deng? "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "it''s not my creation, it''s a predecessor''s creation."


    "Oh, I see."


    Shixuan laughed. Somehow, she was lost.


    Those who despised Liu Xiu just now looked at him again with admiration in their eyes. Liu Xiugang''s song is really magnificent.


    Liu Xiu stood up, asked the zither player to play again, and then left the pavilion with Shi Xuan.


    Shi Xuan glanced at him and said, "Mr. Deng, it''s getting late. You can see that many people have already gone to the hall. It seems that the guests are almost here. I have to join my family, so I''ll go first. "


    "Goodbye!"


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and replied with a smile.


    Deng Zhan said with a smile: "my Lord, when you were playing the piano just now, it was really beautiful and free. If you say that ambush is your own creation, I''m afraid she''ll give it to you. "


    "Bullshit!"


    Liu Xiu glared at Deng Zhan and said, "you know what you''re talking about."


    It''s nothing to do with him.


    He does not think that there is a shortage of his wife, Huang Yueying and sun Shangxiang. It''s enough to have a place of sustenance in your heart. Why do you have to flirt?


    In fact, Liu Xiu is indifferent to women.


    Liu Xiu knew his identity and sometimes needed the combination of interests. He did not exclude the marriage of interests, because he had to do so for the sake of his foundation. But when there was no marriage of interests, there was no need for him to go around and flirt.


    They walked out of the yard talking and laughing, and then went to the hall together.


    At this time, there are many guests in the hall.


    Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan have different identities. As soon as they enter, an attendant comes up and takes Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan to the front. Liu Xiu''s position was already left by Shi Xie.

 Chapter 479

    In the hall, the guests gathered.


    After Liu Xiu sat down, no one came to say hello.


    After all, Liu Xiu''s identity is there, and ordinary people really can''t connect with him. Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on the top and swept Shi Xie and his wife. Both of them are old, but they are in good spirits.


    "When the time comes, the descendants will present their gifts."


    The emcee who presided over the ceremony opened his mouth. As soon as his voice dropped, he saw that all the descendants of the scholar''s family came up.


    Liu Xiu looks around and sees Shi Xuan.


    At this time, Shixuan had already put on her daughter''s clothes, elegant and refined, which was extraordinary.


    Liu Xiu didn''t think about Shixuan''s identity as SHIXIE''s daughter at this time. After all, people have just said that she is a relative of the SHIXIE''s family, and it''s normal to go to present a gift now.


    Shi Xuan followed the crowd and was surprised to see Liu Xiu sitting in the first place. What''s the identity of Mr. Deng? I can sit in the most important position.


    Didn''t dad say Liu Xiu came?


    In terms of identity, Liu Xiu should be at the front.


    Before she had time to think about it, the master of ceremonies began to arrange for them to come forward one by one.


    When it was Shi Xuan''s turn, she came forward, knelt down in front of the old lady and said, "my daughter, I wish my mother a long life and good health."


    "Good, good!"


    The old lady was very kind with a smile.


    Liu Xiu was a little strange when he heard Shi Xuan''s name, but he didn''t bother to guess.


    It doesn''t have much to do with him.


    The ceremony is still going on. After the ceremony is over, the emcee steps down.


    At this time, Shi Xie picked up his glass, glanced at everyone and said in a loud voice, "today is the 60th birthday of my husband and wife. Thank you for coming. Everybody, please


    The old lady also took the glass and toasted kindly.


    "Thank you, Mr. Wei Yan!"


    They took their glasses and drank them all.


    Shi Xie once again took his glass and filled it with wine. His eyes fell on Liu Xiu and said, "today is my wife''s birthday. It''s a great honor to have Liu Xiu, a herdsman of Jingzhou, to congratulate me. I''d like to pay my respects to Liu Jingzhou and thank you for your appreciation."


    Liu xiudao: "Wei Yan Gong is polite."


    With these words, Liu Xiu picked up his glass and drank it down.


    "Ah


    Suddenly, a surprised voice came from Shixuan''s mouth. She was shocked to find that Mr. Deng was Liu Xiu. She didn''t expect that.


    All eyes fell on Shi Xuan.


    Shi Xie said, "xuan''er, why do you make a sound?"


    Shixuan replied respectfully, "Dad, this is the first time my daughter has seen Liu Jingzhou. People all say that Liu Jingzhou sofa is decisive and invincible, and he is a big man. Today, when I saw Liu Jingzhou, he was a little surprised. His daughter violated the law and asked his father to punish him. "


    At the moment, Liu beixiu was also surprised.


    Daughter!


    Shi Xuan is the daughter of Shi Xie.


    The old man is really in good health. He can have a daughter in his fifties.


    When Liu Xiu thought about meeting Shi Xuan, he suddenly had a smile in his mouth when he was in the backyard. This is really interesting. At that time, in Xiaoyao Pavilion, Shi Xuan concealed that she was not a member of the Shi family, but actually she was Shi Xie''s daughter. Liu Xiu said he was Deng Gongzi, but in fact he was Liu Xiu, a herdsman in Jingzhou.


    It''s just so wonderful.


    Shi Xie snorted and said, "xuan''er, today is your mother''s birthday. I won''t punish you. If you have stirred Liu Jingzhou''s interest, I''d like to make a toast to Liu Jingzhou and apologize. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Weiyan, it''s not in the way. It doesn''t have to be like this."


    Shi Xuan said, "Liu Jingzhou is polite. It''s Shi Xuan''s fault. Shi Xuan apologizes to you." When she said this, Shi Xuan lifted her glass and said to Liu Xiu, "Liu Jingzhou, please!"


    "Please


    Liu Xiu smiles and drinks the wine.


    Unexpectedly, I met such a woman.


    Shi Xuan went back to the table and sat down. Then she returned to her lovely appearance. This time, no one was different. However, Shi Xuan always looks at Liu Xiu from time to time.


    Before that, he had never really seen Liu Xiu. He thought Liu Xiu was good-looking and handsome.


    Now I know that the man in front of me is Liu Xiu. If I look carefully, I think Liu Xiu is extraordinary. Liu Xiu''s sharp and angular face, deep and wise eyes and straight nose all show his brilliance.


    In front of him, the man was young but tasteful.


    Shi Xuan was immersed in her own world, but she didn''t realize the passage of time.


    With the promotion of Shi Xie, the banquet atmosphere became more and more lively.


    Suddenly, in the crowd, a young man stood up, arched his hand and said, "I heard that Liu Jingzhou had a brilliant literary talent in Bianzhen. Today, Liu Jingzhou wrote a poem to celebrate the old lady''s 60th birthday. "


    Words, with a trace of provocation.Liu Xiu took a look at the young man and thought, "it''s not provoking. How can this man find him directly?".


    How strange!


    Liu Xiu felt strange in his heart, but he saw Bian Zhen''s eyes sweep Shi Xuan.


    In an instant, Liu Xiu understood. The feeling is because of the toast just now, but this is also jealous. Brother Bian Zhen is too small.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "well, brother Bian Zhen can''t write a birthday poem. I''ll do it for you."


    Brush!


    Bian Zhen''s face, with a trace of anger.


    In his eyes, Liu Xiu was calm and unmoved.


    You''re a little scholar, Bian Zhen. I didn''t cheat you directly. It''s generous enough. If Liu Xiuqi''s quantity is small, it will not be a verbal run. He has to clean up Bian Zhen directly.


    Moreover, this is SHIXIE''s wife''s birthday after all, and Liu Xiu can''t be a swordsman.


    Bian Zhen listened to Liu Xiu''s words and said, "Liu Jingzhou says that, but I can''t help it. I have a poem to celebrate the old lady''s birthday


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "please!"


    Bian Zhen stood up, stepped out of his seat and paced the hall.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "Mr. Bian Zhen, just now you said there was a poem, but now you are pacing back and forth. You haven''t thought about it yet? Or just pretending to waste time. It''s very puzzling of you to do so. "


    Puchi!


    Shi Xuan couldn''t help laughing at Liu Xiu''s words.


    That''s very poisonous.


    In his eyes, he didn''t stop him. He just kept silent.


    Liu Xiu said: "Miss Xuan laughs. It must be Mr. Bian Zhen who makes people laugh. Well, I remember the monkeys in the mountains. They like walking around like this to make people laugh."


    Sharp words make Bian Zhen''s eyes even more fiery.


    In particular, Shi Xuan''s laughter made him feel embarrassed.


    Bian Zhen said, "listen to Liu Jingzhou."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "my ears have been washed clean for a long time, please!"


    With both hands on his back, Bian Zhen said with a smile, "my poem is."


    "At that time, the Sassou beautiful girl was a pillar of the mainstream."


    "My husband teaches my son hard work, but not hard work. My kindness is long."


    After Bian Zhen finished reciting, he looked at Liu Xiu provocatively with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. His poem, which was prepared long ago, can be appreciated if it is recited now.


    Liu Xiu said, "well, it''s really a good poem!"


    Bian Zhen raised his chin and said with pride: "although Liu Jingzhou was born in Jingzhou, he can''t look down on me just because Jiaozhou is remote."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "can Mr. Bian Zhen represent the son of Jiaozhou? Or can Mr. Bian Zhen represent Jiaozhou? Wei Yangong is in charge of Jiaozhou, but he hasn''t said that he represents Jiaozhou yet. You are eager to represent Jiaozhou. You are really young and promising. "


    Bian Zhen was quite upset by his words.


    Bian Zhen said, "Liu Jingzhou, I don''t say much. Thank you for the poem first."


    "I pour wine for Liu Jingzhou."


    At this time, Shi Xuan stood up, went to Liu Xiu and poured wine for him. She said: "Liu Jingzhou was born in Jingzhou, Jingzhou style emerald, Liu Jingzhou''s poetry, certainly brilliant."


    Shi Xie looked in his eyes, but he laughed in his heart.


    In Shi Xie''s eyes, although his wife''s 60th birthday is important, it is not as important as Liu Xiu''s and Shi Xuan''s.


    Now, her daughter, whose eyes are higher than the top, takes the initiative to pour wine for Liu Xiu, which is a good omen.


    But Shi Xuan poured wine for Liu Xiu himself. This scene made the young heroes in Jiaozhou frown and stare at Liu Xiu with murderous eyes. If they could kill people, they would be killed by lingchi.

 Chapter 480

    Liu Xiu naturally took the wine from Shi Xuan. He looked up and drank it. He said with a smile, "beauty is my companion. If I can''t make any more poems, I''m really ashamed of Miss Xuan."


    Shi Xuan said, "I''m all ears


    Liu Xiu stood up and looked at the people in the hall.


    Officials in the officialdom are normal. On the contrary, they are young literary and artistic youths, red eyed and murderous. Those who don''t know are fearless. This is the true portrayal of these people. In the eyes of these literary and artistic youth, they don''t understand the cruelty of reality, so they dare to compete with Liu Xiu, abandon the sophistication of the world and just smile for the beauty.


    Liu Xiu looked back and said, "this woman is not a human being!"


    WOW!


    As soon as the words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.


    There are many voices of discussion.


    Shi Xie''s eyes narrowed and his expression was very embarrassed.


    Liu Xiu''s words are too abusive.


    As the old lady of birthday, her face can''t hold. But she is different. She has been with Shi Xie for decades. She knows his temper and the identity of the person in front of him. She can only smile.


    In Shi Xuan''s eyes, she also had a strange expression. She had talked with Liu Xiu in the pavilion before, and knew that Liu Xiuyan''s manner was good and should not be so vulgar.


    Bian Zhen laughed and said, "this is Jingzhou style. Ha ha ha..."


    Other scholars, too.


    One after another, there was a look of banter in their eyes.


    Although the dignitaries wanted to laugh in their hearts, they did not dare to laugh because of Liu Xiu''s identity and Shi Xie''s identity. They had to hold back to avoid Shi Xie and Liu Xiu''s jealousy.


    Deng Zhan sat at the back of Liu Xiu''s seat. When he heard Liu Xiu''s words, he was also secretly worried.


    On the contrary, Liu Xiu looked calm.


    His birthday poems are famous allusions in history.


    Liu Xiu has enough confidence in this situation.


    Liu Xiu coughed twice, and the hall became quiet.


    However, the young writers and artists did not buy it and continued to talk about it. Bian Zhen, with a kind look of hypocrisy, said, "please stop talking and let Liu Jingzhou continue to write poems."


    A burst of laughter came out, but the crowd stopped.


    Liu Xiu looked calm and indifferent, and continued: "in the words, there is a strong sense of provocation, which is obviously to break hands with Liu Xiu.


    SHIXIE looked serious and stepped in: "Mr. Liu, Jiaozhou Shizi has some enthusiasm. Please forgive me for their rudeness. Tang Zhang, I''m still here. "


    Liu Xiu raised his hand and said, "Weiyan doesn''t have to be like this. Today is the old lady''s birthday. People write poems to celebrate the old lady''s birthday, which is the only way to celebrate. Since Tang Zhang is going to write poems, let''s write them. I should write them. "


    Strong words came from Liu Xiu''s mouth.


    Shi Xuan saw in the eyes, but also in the heart of a ripple.


    Such a man is a real man!


    Liu Xiu looked at Tang Zhang, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Tang Zhang, please!"


    Tang Zhang also looked confident. He didn''t believe that Liu Xiugang had written a poem, and now he can write it again. With both hands on his back, Tang Zhang said in a loud voice, "my poem is."


    "The vicissitudes change, the person is not old, the blessing shade descendant forever is healthy."


    "The family is prosperous in the world, and we only wish to set up the hall of longevity every year."


    Tang Zhang''s poem is full of atmosphere.


    This poem is also good.


    After listening to this, a group of literary and artistic youths in Jiaozhou applauded one after another.


    Hearing this, the old lady also laughed. This year''s birthday is very interesting, far more lively than in previous years.


    Shi Xie stroked his beard under his jaw and said with satisfaction, "good, very good!"


    As soon as Tang Zhang heard Shi Xie''s praise, he was even more proud in his heart, and his face could not help showing pride. He looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Jingzhou, in terms of official position, I''m just a piece of cloth. It''s far from comparable with you. But in terms of talent and learning, I can''t let Liu Jingzhou


    Liu Xiu said: "Mr. Tang Zhang is really confident. This confidence is admirable."


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Tang Zhang laughed and said, "Liu Jingzhou, it''s not a shame to admit defeat. Now give up and we won''t say anything. "


    Shi Xie frowned slightly. This Tang chapter is too much.


    Just as Shi Xie was about to step in, Liu Xiu said, "it was still sunny this morning, but now it''s suddenly raining heavily. Well, this birthday poem takes the rain as the scene. "


    When they heard this, they were all very surprised.


    Liu Xiu was so fierce that he had to write a poem when he saw the rain.


    However, whether it will work or not will be known only after listening to it.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Shi Xuan. Since these literary and artistic youths want to provoke, they should be stimulated again. Liu Xiu said with a little smile, "it''s really extraordinary after drinking the wine that Miss Xuan poured just now. I wonder if Miss Xuan can pour more wine? ""My pleasure!"


    Shi Xuan stood up directly from the seat, and then came to Liu Xiu to pour wine.


    This scene also made Tang Zhang angry.


    Liu Xiu looked at the literary and artistic youth in Jiaozhou and was amused. What he wants is this effect, that is, to stimulate these people to avoid them not seeing the situation clearly.

 Chapter 481

    Liu Xiu''s sharp eyes swept the literary and artistic youth, this time, they must be disabled.


    If you hit me in the face, you have to crack.


    Liu Xiu calmly took the wine from Shi Xuan, and then walked in the hall with his hands on his back.


    Everyone''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said: "my Liu Xiu said:" Mr. Tang Zhang will listen to it and comment after listening to it. "


    "Hum!"


    Tang Zhang snorted and turned his ear to show his contempt for Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu continued: "Liu Xiu continued:" Torrential Rain wish Shi''s life, life is more than torrential rain. "


    Terror!


    Liu Xiu''s intelligence is so quick that it''s terrible.


    Tang Zhang took a deep breath, arched his hand and said, "I''m taking it!"


    He returned to his seat, and the literary and artistic youth of Jiaozhou below were already speechless. When Bian Zhen went up to challenge, Liu Xiu might have won by accident. But Tang Zhang failed again, especially when Liu Xiu wrote a poem, which made everyone speechless.


    Shi Xie took the lead in fuzhang and said: "Liu Jingzhou is quick in talent and thinking, and Jingzhou deserves to be a place where literary and ideological thoughts gather."


    "Liu Jingzhou, to you, please!"


    Shi Xie took the wine and offered a toast to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu had a good amount of wine, and he drank it with a smile.


    As the host, he would control the situation. When the birthday was over, he called out the singer to dance and play music. With the music playing, everyone in the hall is intoxicated.


    For a time, the guests and the hosts were all happy.


    After the end of the song, it''s noon.


    Just at the right time, Shi Xie arranged for people to prepare meat. Dishes were served and placed on everyone''s desk. With the sound of SHIXIE, the people were no longer polite and moved their chopsticks one after another.


    After the banquet, the guests dispersed separately.


    When Liu Xiu plans to leave, he is stopped by Shi Xuan.


    Shi Xuan said: "that day in Xiaoyao Pavilion, how did Liu Jingzhou take Deng Zhan as his name?"


    Liu xiuxiao said: "it''s just to hide her identity, just as girl Xuan disguises herself as a man


    Shi Xuan asked, "why is it called Deng Zhan?"


    Liu xiupai pointed to Deng Zhan standing not far away and said, "he is Deng Zhan."


    "Ah


    Shi Xuan''s expression was shocked. She didn''t expect that this was the real Deng Zhan. In her heart, she also admired Liu Xiu. She talked about the knowledge of literature, and also about the army, war, government affairs and so on.


    Liu Xiu was even more shocked. Shi Xuan had a wide range of knowledge, and the pattern was not that of a little girl. She was quite grand and very good.


    As they talked, Liu Xiu didn''t seem to be facing a woman, but a man.


    Liu Xiu thought Shi Xuan was quite good.


    They had a good conversation. Finally, a servant said that Shi Xie asked Liu Xiu to go to his study.


    In this way, Liu Xiu and Shi Xuan ended their conversation.


    After farewell, Liu Xiu came to his study and saw a red faced taxi, Shi Xie. Today''s birthday, Liu Xiu is brilliant, and the scholar''s family is also full of glory. Shi Xie can be sure that the influence of the Shi family will be greater after this incident.


    Shi Xie said with a smile, "my Lord, my little daughter has been spoiled since she was a child. I''m a strange spirit. Please forgive me."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Miss Xuan is erudite and talented. She is really a woman, but not a man. Wei Yan is modest."


    Shi Xie stopped beating around the Bush and asked, "what''s your impression of the little girl, my lord?"


    Liu Xiu thought about Shi Xuan and said with a smile, "in terms of appearance, Miss Xuan is elegant and refined, and her temperament is extraordinary. In terms of talent, Miss Xuan is not inferior to men. The daughter of Duke Wei Yan is absolutely wrong. "


    Shi Xie smiles, and his heart is at ease.


    Shi Xuan left a good impression on Liu Xiu, so it''s easy to get married next.


    Especially if they get along well with each other, they will have a better foundation.


    Shi Xie''s face was serious, and he said slowly, "xuan''er, a girl who has been spoiled by me since childhood, has developed a proud temperament. This girl has said since she was young that she will not marry unless she is a hero. The people she chooses must be heroes of the world. Xuaner was impressed by his young age, outstanding talent, and military strategy. I have only one daughter. I also want her to have a good home. Therefore, I would like to marry xuan''er to my Lord. I don''t know what he will do? "


    At the moment, there was a little uneasiness in Shi Xie''s heart.


    What if Liu Xiu refuses?


    Shi Xie did not dare to think of such an answer, because such a result is difficult to accept.


    Once Liu Xiu refuses, the relationship will be very awkward.


    But Shi Xie''s heart also has a certain degree of assurance, after all, his daughter is not bad, both talented and beautiful. Such women are rare, so Shi Xie also has a certain strength in his heart. Moreover, Liu Xiu has to consider political factors, so he is likely to agree.


    Liu Xiu said: "Mr. Wei Yan, it''s the parents who make the decisions about marriage. But has Duke Wei ever asked Miss Xuan about this? "Shi Xie began to laugh, his face wrinkled and said, "xuan''er agrees."


    "Good! I agree with that


    Liu Xiu has no reason to refuse. Shi Xie''s words have already said this. He can''t refuse. Despite Liu Xiu''s favorable feelings, Liu Xiu could not refuse Shi Xie''s proposal just because Liu Xiu was based on political stability and Jiaozhou stability. Just as Liu Bei lived in Yizhou and married his sister-in-law, Wu, in order to stabilize the situation.


    Shi Xie looks happy, and things are finally settled.


    From then on, the scholar''s family flourished.


    The scholar''s family has been safe since then.


    Shi Xie knew that Liu Xiu agreed to the marriage, which meant that the Shi family was really tied to Liu Xiu.


    Shi Xie said, "what I think about Xuaner''s marrying my Lord is that on a good day, I will let Xuaner go to the barracks. What''s the Lord''s will?"


    Liu Xiu has a wife, so Shi Xuan can only be a concubine.


    Therefore, it is impossible to have eight lift sedan chair and so on, and it is impossible to welcome in the door. The only thing is that Shi Xie chooses an auspicious day to send people to Liu Xiu''s camp and to Liu Xiu''s tent. This is the end.


    Liu Xiu said: "everything is arranged according to Wei Yangong. Well, try not to hurt Miss Xuan."


    Shi Xie replied, "I understand your humble position."


    "It''s getting late. I have to go back to the camp and say goodbye."


    Liu Xiu stood up and left.


    Shi Xie personally sees Liu Xiu off, and then goes to the backyard to see Shi Xuan. With a smile on his old face, he said, "Xuaner, what do you think of seeing Liu Xiu now?"


    Shi Xuan said, "my daughter met him in Xiaoyao Pavilion before, and told me that she didn''t know his identity at that time. His daughter is willing to marry him. "


    "Good!"


    When Shi Xie heard the words, he was safe in his heart.


    Shi Xie said with a smile, "you should make good preparations. Dad will send someone to see you off when he decides on a good day."


    Shixuan said, "thank you, Dad."


    Shi Xie said with a light smile: "silly girl, I still say these words to my father."

 Chapter 482

    Three days after his wife''s 60th birthday, Shi Xie prepared a rich dowry, and then sent Shi Xuan to Liu Xiu''s camp.


    Concubine, that''s the way to live.


    After all, Shixuan is not a wife. She can only have such etiquette.


    In the camp, Liu Xiu couldn''t fight Shi Xuan directly in broad daylight.


    Liu Xiu asks Shi Xuan to change her daily clothes, then takes her around the camp, and finally goes back to the camp to deal with the affairs. When Liu Xiu deals with government affairs, Shi Xuan is clever and reads quietly.


    The day passed, and the night came.


    In the tent, they sat on the couch.


    Shixuan''s eyes moved and she said, "young master, am I the first one to marry you in the camp?"


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu replied with a smile, with a touch in his eyes.


    In front of her, Shi Xuan was elegant and refined, with a blush on her face.


    Like a budding flower, to refuse to rest.


    Shi Xuan''s eyes turned. Suddenly she got up and went to the table beside the bed. She said with a smile, "young master, I''ll pour you some more wine. Why don''t you make another poem for me?"


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu didn''t refuse, so he nodded directly.


    Shi Xuan handed the glass to Liu Xiu, looking forward to it.


    Before, at Shi''s home, Liu Xiu''s two birthday poems were so amazing that Shi Xuan was impressed.


    Now, Shi Xuan is looking forward to it.


    What poems will Liu Xiuhui prepare on his wedding night?


    After some consideration, Liu Xiusi had a brilliant look in his eyes and said with a smile, "Miss Xuan, listen up!"


    "I urge you not to cherish the golden clothes, but to cherish your youth."


    "When flowers bloom, they must be folded. Don''t wait for empty branches to be folded."


    Liu Xiu recited a poem directly.


    This poem has the meaning of persuading people to cherish time, but on the other hand, it also means that when they meet a good girl, they must cherish it, and it also means that they should cherish love.


    Shi Xuan''s eyes became blazing when she heard it.


    A good poem, a good flower can be broken straight must be broken, a good don''t wait for no flowers, empty broken branches.


    At this moment, this scene, she is not that flower?


    Isn''t she the one to be picked?


    At the thought of this, Shixuan was a little shy. Liu Xiu has so clearly hinted that she can''t be indifferent any more. Shi Xuan took a deep breath and said, "my husband, I will undress you."


    In a word, it is better than endless temptation.


    Liu Xiu stood up and let Shi Xuan take off his coat, but he couldn''t wait. He just hugged Shi Xuan and strode to the bed.


    Shi Xuan leaned against Liu Xiu''s chest, her cheeks were hot, her heart was like a deer, and she said, "please take pity on me!"


    Liu Xiu smiles and falls on the couch with Shi Xuan in his arms. He stares at Shi Xuan and his eyes are shining.


    At the moment, Shi Xuan is so shy that she can''t help but move her mind. Liu Xiu couldn''t help it any more. Under the light and shadow, clothes flew out of the bed.


    Shi Xuan''s figure is delicate and graceful, which is unique to southern women. Her body is extremely delicate and well proportioned like a curve. Her delicate skin is as smooth as brocade, with a little glittering luster.


    At this moment, Shi Xuan''s face was red, like a ripe apple.


    Liu Xiu''s hand fell down on the soft ground.


    "So soft!"


    Touch, soft incomparable, Liu Xiu''s mind are rippling. Head slightly down, nose light smell, Shi Xuan''s body, a faint fragrance refreshing.


    Shi Xuan gradually fell in love, weeping and complaining


    With a little pain, Shi Xuan''s body seems to split, but it seems to usher in a new life. She knew that she was his man.


    In this life, she has been branded with him.


    In this life, life is his people, death is his ghost.


    All my life, never leave.


    The candle flickers in the tent, but the two people who are in love are getting better and better


    I don''t know when the panting in the tent stopped.


    The next day, early in the morning.


    When the sun was shining, Liu Xiu opened his eyes and suddenly found that the people around him had already got up. Shi Xuan had passed on her clothes and stood aside. She looked at Liu Xiu with a smile in her eyes and said, "my husband wakes up. I''ll have someone wash and gargle." At this time, Shi Xuan''s temperament changed again. She was more intellectual and elegant, and she was more sexy as a new woman.


    After a while, the valet brought the lotion.


    Shi Xuan dressed and washed Liu Xiu, and then had breakfast together.


    Liu Xiu said: "today is the first day, prepare, I accompany you back to the door."


    "Yes


    There was a trace of shame in Shi Xuan''s eyes.


    It is reasonable to say that even if Liu Xiu doesn''t accompany her back to her room, she can. But Liu Xiu offered to show that Liu Xiu really kept her in mind.They prepared gifts and then went to the scholar''s home under the protection of Deng Zhan.


    Three girls back to the house, for a time, the scholar''s house was a sensation.


    All the attendants were smiling, and Shi Xie came to meet them in person.


    Shi Xuan goes to the backyard to accompany his family, while Liu Xiu and Shi Xie go to the study.


    When the guest and host sat down, Shi Xie said with a smile: "Lord, xuan''er is stubborn sometimes. Please forgive me."


    Liu Xiu said, "xuan''er is a orchid heart. It''s also my blessing to marry her."


    Shi Xie said: "this is also a little girl''s blessing."


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "Duke Weiyan, what''s the situation in other counties?"


    Shi Xie also looked solemn and replied, "Lord, among all the counties, Nanhai county is the first to send news and is willing to submit to him. However, I promised to let bygones be bygones. The same is true in other counties. Now, there is no news from Yulin County and other places. But think about it, it won''t be a big problem. The trend of the times is unstoppable. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "that''s good. I''m relieved to have Wei Yangong in Jiaozhou."


    They talked and laughed about Jiaozhou. At noon, they stayed at Shi''s home for lunch. In the afternoon, Liu Xiu left with Shi Xuan.


    Back to the camp, the next day will not have much to do.


    Liu Xiu took Shi Xuan on a tour in Guangxin County after he dealt with the government affairs every day.


    Time is running like water. On this day, when Liu Xiu finished his administrative work and was ready to go out for a visit, Deng Zhan came to the camp and reported: "Lord, General Huang has arrived, and he has led his army to the county magistrate."


    "Good!"


    Liu xiushao stood up with a look of joy in his eyes.


    Finally!


    When Huang Zhong arrived in Guangxin County, it was time for him to return to Jingzhou.


    Liu Xiu asked, "how long will it take Huang Zhong to arrive?"


    "It''s expected to be half an hour," Deng said


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "good. Half an hour later, remind me to welcome Huang Zhong."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan bowed and bowed, then retired.


    Liu Xiu tells Shi Xuan that she can''t go out to play today, and then goes back to the camp to wait. About half an hour later, Deng Zhan came to remind him, and Liu Xiu got up and went to the gate of the camp.


    Without waiting for a while, a team appeared on the official road ahead.


    This army is very serious.


    Huang Zhong is the leading general.


    Since Huang Zhong was ordered by Liu Xiu, he began to hand over his work to taishici in Qichun county. Taishici was also responsible for the defense of Changsha County.


    After everything was arranged, Huang Zhongcai led the army south.


    The army rushed all the way, almost nonstop.


    As the distance gets closer, Huang Zhong sees Liu Xiu waiting at the gate, and immediately drives his horse forward. Thirty steps away from the camp, Huang Zhong stopped his horse, got off his horse, and walked towards Liu Xiu on foot.


    When he came to Liu Xiu, Huang Zhong knelt down on one knee and said, "at the end of the day, General Huang Zhong, meet the Lord."


    "Han Sheng, get up quickly. It''s been a hard journey."


    Liu Xiu holds up Huang Zhong and looks at Huang Zhong''s tired face. He knows that Huang Zhong seldom has a rest, otherwise he won''t be so tired.


    "Thank you, Lord!"


    Huang Zhong stood up and went to the camp with Liu Xiu when the army came.

 Chapter 483

    The party returned to the camp, and the guests and hosts took their seats.


    Huang Zhong knew the purpose of his trip, but he didn''t know much about it. He also wanted to hear what Liu Xiu said. He asked himself, "what are the specific arrangements for my Lord to send me to Jiaozhou?"


    Liu Xiu said firmly: "guard Jiaozhou!"


    Huang Zhong nodded solemnly after listening.


    Guard Jiaozhou!


    The weight of the four words is heavy enough to make Huang Zhong take it seriously.


    Liu Xiu looked serious and continued: "when you are in Jiaozhou, things are the same as in Changsha County. You do not interfere in the affairs of Jiaozhou, but you must ensure the stability and security of Jiaozhou. The most important thing is that you have to be in control. The army is stationed in Guangxin County, but in each county of Jiaozhou, you can send soldiers to garrison to ensure absolute control of Jiaozhou. "


    "No!"


    Huang Zhong''s face was more serious after hearing this.


    Obviously, the situation is not optimistic.


    On the way here, Huang Zhong heard something about Jiaozhou. At present, Jiaozhou is nominally under the control of Liu Xiu. In fact, there are many places that are independent, but nominally subordinate to Liu Xiu.


    All these need to be dealt with by him.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Ma Liang, who was Huang Zhong''s military adviser and also played an important role.


    Liu Xiu said: "Ji Chang, Han Sheng''s main task is to train troops and fight wars to stabilize the situation in Jiaozhou. You should not only assist Hansheng in dealing with military affairs, but also pay attention to the political affairs of Jiaozhou, so that you can be as clear as the palm of your hand. Otherwise, it''s easy to go wrong. Do you understand? "


    "Yes! I understand. "


    Ma Liang nodded.


    As soon as the words changed, Ma Liang asked, "what should I do with Shi Xie?"


    Ma Liang must ask clearly about this degree.


    Liu Xiu thought about it and replied, "at present, Shi Xie and his family are loyal to me."


    "On the one hand, Shi Xie''s brother Shi Yi is going to return to Jingzhou with me. Shi Xie dare not act rashly when Shi Yi is taken hostage. On the other hand, I married Shi Xie''s daughter as my concubine and married him. "


    "Therefore, we need to have a close relationship with Shi Xie."


    Liu Xiu added: "but you have to pay attention to the fact that Shi Xie is resourceful and resourceful. He is not an easy person. Once he began to seek personal gain, regardless of the overall situation of the state. You first remind and then warn. It''s really no good. I''ll allow you to use force. You should make good use of yourself. "


    "I see!"


    Ma Liang nodded and had a measure in his mind.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, Deng Zhan came in and reported: "Lord, there is a conflict in Guangxin county."


    "What conflict?" Liu Wei frowned.


    Why did he come for this?


    Guangxin County, Guangxin county magistrate, Cangwu Taishou.


    Even, there is Shi Xie, the governor of Jiaozhou. How can he be found?


    With a helpless look on his face, Deng Zhan replied: "the thing is, we are going to return to Jingzhou soon. Some soldiers in the army asked for leave to go to the county town to buy some special products and fruit food."


    "Unexpectedly, there was a conflict in the street."


    "When one of the soldiers started, he accidentally overthrew a civilian on the ground, and the civilian died."


    "As soon as the incident happened, some people blocked the soldiers. These soldiers are also in trouble. When things go wrong, they do not calm down the incident. They even want to run away and beat up the people who obstruct them. "


    "I didn''t expect that this move aroused public indignation."


    "The people in the street blocked the way they left, and the soldiers were trapped in it."


    "The magistrate of Guangxin county has gone to take charge of stabilizing the situation," Deng said. But on the one hand, it''s our soldiers, on the other hand, it''s the wounded people. "


    "Guangxin county magistrate is in a dilemma. He can only control the situation as much as possible."


    "Shi Xie already knew about it. He sent someone to inform him. Please take care of it. Shi Xie said that only when this matter is handled properly can the Lord let Jingzhou soldiers really have a foothold in Jiaozhou. "


    Deng Zhan explained the whole process and then waited for Liu Xiu''s decision.


    When Liu Xiu listened to this, his brain turned and he understood.


    Ma Liang said: "Lord, SHIXIE means..."


    Liu Xiuse said: "I understand what Shi Xie means, but the army has long ordered that soldiers stationed in Guangxin county should not disturb the people. Today''s soldiers should not do this because of their feelings and reasons. They are also in trouble. "


    Deng Zhan asked: "Shi Xie asked the Lord to deal with it. Are you going there in person? Or what to do with it? "


    Liu Xiu said, "take a team of soldiers and I''ll go there myself."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan was ordered to turn around and arrange.


    Soon, Liu Xiu took Deng Zhan, Ma Liang, Huang Hu, and a group of soldiers to the city.


    ¡­¡­


    Sanshui street is located in the west of Guangxin county.


    The street is full of vendors.


    Most of the goods sold by the vendors are local products of Jiaozhou, many of which are not found in the Central Plains, and some of them are rare and rarely seen.Traders or tourists who come to Cangwu county like to buy some fruit products in Sanshui street of Guangxin county. At this time, Sanshui street was blocked. People were very heavy, blocking the street.


    In the center, a group of Yamen officers formed a circle, making the middle empty.


    Among them, six soldiers were back to back, looking around on guard. Around the soldiers, there were a few black and blue people, a common people who had fallen to the ground and died for a long time, and their families who were in mourning.


    Guangxin county magistrate stood aside to maintain the situation and prevent problems.


    In the face of such a situation, Shi Xie''s face was calm without any panic.


    When he saw this scene, he had a plan to deal with it. But Liu Xiu married his daughter. He had to think about it for Liu Xiu, so he sent someone to inform Liu Xiu and ask him to deal with it.


    Only in this way can the best effect be achieved.


    Looking at the excited people around him, Shi Xie said in a loud voice, "folks, please believe in Liu Jingzhou and my official. No matter who breaks the law, he will never escape under my jurisdiction. "


    "It''s a matter of course to kill people and pay off debts. Because today we are talking about the soldiers under Liu Jingzhou, so we have to wait for Liu Jingzhou to deal with this matter. "


    "I believe you also want to see how he handles it."


    Shi Xie''s voice was hoarse, but very passionate and convincing. His voice was calm, and he continued: "I can guarantee that if Liu Jingzhou does not give a fair and just statement. I will not give up until this matter is finished. Today''s matter, Liu Jingzhou must give a reasonable disposition and statement before it can be regarded as the end. "


    Shi Xie''s words resonated with the people.


    The situation has stabilized with the help of Shi Xie.


    Everyone is waiting for Liu Xiu to deal with it.


    The situation has stabilized for the time being, but the undercurrent is turbulent, because the people in Cangwu County hold a breath in their hearts. If this tone is not dredged, once it breaks out, it will be turbulent.


    "Mr. Shi has a point. We will not wrongly a good man, but we will never let a bad man go."


    "Lord Shi Xie is worthy of high prestige in Jiaozhou. Unlike the magistrate of Guangxin County, he is just submissive. He has really lost the face of Guangxin county."


    "Master Shi Xie, we must punish criminals severely. If we don''t punish criminals severely this time, how can we stabilize people''s hearts if such things happen again next time? "


    People''s eyes fell on Shi Xie.


    In the eyes of the common people, Shi Xie seems to be their representative and the person on whom they place their hopes.


    Shi Xie listened to the people and knew that things were under control. He comforted and assured the people.


    "Here comes the man, here comes the man!"


    All of a sudden, there was a sensation outside the crowd. After having a common people to shout, the common people around immediately agitated, all people''s eyes looked toward the periphery. Many people, even more spontaneously, gave way.


    Liu Xiu, Huang Hu, Deng Zhan and Ma Liang came in with ten soldiers. The rest of the soldiers had to stay at the entrance of the street because the street was too crowded.


    A moment later, Liu Xiu came to the center.


    "Liu Jingzhou, you said before that you will treat the people in Jiaozhou fairly. What do you want to do about what happened today? If we don''t give a statement, we will never agree. "


    "Liu Jingzhou, Jiaozhou people are also people."


    "When he killed corrupt officials before, he thought Liu Jingzhou was a fair and just man. Now it seems that Liu Jingzhou''s subordinates are also harbouring evils. It''s disappointing that there are such ferocious soldiers. "


    The situation is out of control.


    Liu Xiu raised his hand and pressed down to make the people calm down, saying, "folks, please listen to me."


    "Shh


    The people began to speak, and the surrounding area soon became quiet.


    People''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu looked serious and said slowly, "I don''t know the whole story. Please give me some time to understand the whole story. I will give you a fair and just account of what should be, OK? "


    "Good!"


    People open their mouths and wait for Liu Xiu to deal with them.


    Liu Xiu took a look at Shi Xie, and his eyes met Shi Xie. He understood what Shi Xie meant. The purpose of Shi Xie''s asking him to come here was to let him deal with it personally, win the favor of the people, and establish prestige and credibility.

 Chapter 484

    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on the six soldiers and said in a deep voice, "who are you


    Eyes, sharp as a knife.


    The eyes like knives sank the hearts of the six soldiers.


    Bad hunch, breeding in the hearts of six soldiers.


    The rules set by the army are repeated. It is strictly forbidden to harass the people and to do anything to them. Now, they not only did it, they also killed a man.


    This situation is quite serious!


    One of the soldiers came out and fell to his knees with a plop.


    "My Lord, it''s all villains'' fault."


    The soldier''s name is Wu Fu. Because he is the eldest in his family, he is also called Wu Da. He is also a small commander in the army. He has five soldiers under his hand. This time, when he was about to return to Jingzhou, Wu Fu took his soldiers out to buy some special products.


    Liu Sheng Xiu said, "what''s the matter?"


    Wu Fu said: "my Lord, it was the villain who pushed the people so badly that he fell to the ground and died. Other injured people are also the responsibility of villains. "


    "My Lord, we are also wrong. Please punish us."


    The other five soldiers plopped down on their knees, kowtowed to the ground, and loudly admitted their crimes.


    The soldiers admitted it directly, and the people around them were also quite surprised. I didn''t expect that these soldiers would admit it so readily.


    One of the common people said: "hum, it''s easy to admit guilt. How to punish? People are dead. What''s the use of apologizing first? Why don''t I kill you and apologize to you? "


    Once the words came out, the people around nodded their heads.


    One by one, the eyes are very angry.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on the people who were talking, but he saw that the people who were talking just now had dodged.


    Someone is behind the scenes!


    Liu Xiu''s heart, immediately under the judgment. Judging from this, although the people in Cangwu county and Jiaozhou were obedient to Liu Xiu, they didn''t really want to be.


    At the moment, Liu Xiu realized the good intentions of Shi Xie.


    This time, it is an opportunity to calm the anger of the people and win over their hearts.


    Liu Xiu looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "Dear blind date, how to deal with today''s affairs? I will give you a satisfactory explanation. I won''t steal a beam and change a pillar. I won''t be perfunctory."


    "Well, it''s better for Liu Jingzhou to decide this matter now, instead of taking people back for disposal." In the crowd, another voice came: "once you take them back, even if you throw out the bodies, who can judge whether they are them or not? Liu Jingzhou will give a reply now and deal with it in front of us now. That is the best result. "


    The people echoed the words.


    Everyone knows the truth behind the scenes. Once Liu Xiu takes people away, it will be difficult to make it clear. Therefore, the people also let Liu Xiu deal with it now.


    Liu xiulang said: "I always enforce the law impartially and will not bend the law for personal gain. If it is to be disposed of, I will dispose of it. So you can rest assured that I will deal with this matter here. "


    Shi Xie said at the right time: "please be quiet and don''t talk any more. We believe that Liu Jingzhou will handle it on the spot. We believe that Liu Jingzhou will give a satisfactory reply. So, let''s not talk about it in a word. In this way, we will not be able to solve the problem. "


    With Shi Xie''s words, the people all nodded.


    One by one, people stare at Liu Xiu, waiting for Liu Xiu''s reply.


    Liu Xiu stared at the six soldiers kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice: "you know the law and discipline in the army. You should understand the result of today''s change? "


    Wu Fu''s face was serious, and he said, "my Lord, one person should do things and one person should do things. Today''s events are caused by villains. If a villain kills, he will pay for his life. "


    Liu Xiu took a deep breath. This is his soldier!


    It is because of a brave soldier, he can continue to win, to conquer.


    Now, to kill his own soldiers, Liu Xiu was also saddened.


    However, the law and discipline are not tolerant, especially with the overall situation of Jiaozhou, Liu Xiu can''t bend the law for personal gain, and can''t let Wu Fu escape.


    If Wu Fu does not die, the anger of the people is hard to calm down.


    It is difficult for Guangxin county to be stable if Wufu does not die.


    Wu Fu does not die, but Cangwu county and even Jiaozhou are unstable.


    This is a crisis brought by a point, or Wu Fu''s misfortune. If there is no Wu Fu today, there may be Zhang Fu, Liu Fu, Wang Fu and others in the future. In a word, Wu Fu met this matter.


    Liu Xiu turned his mind and said, "how many people are there in your family?"


    Wu Fu replied, "please tell me that there are still parents, a younger brother and a younger sister in my family."


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "after you leave, your parents are my parents. Your younger brother and sister are my younger brother and sister. I will let your parents enjoy their old age, your younger brother and sister grow up safely, and let you worry about it. ""Thank you


    After Wu Fu heard this, his eyes were immediately moist.


    He is just a soldier in the army.


    He''s very humble.


    However, he discredited Liu Xiu and aroused people''s indignation and hatred towards Jingzhou soldiers. All this was caused by his pushing and shoving the people to the end.


    Everything starts because of him, and everything ends because of him.


    Wu Fu said, "my Lord, I understand."


    Liu Xiu nodded heavily. He knew that Wu Fu understood what he said and that Wu Fu knew how to do it. In fact, Liu Xiu didn''t want Wu Fu to be taken away by the soldiers, and he didn''t want Wu Fu to be beheaded in front of the people.


    Jingzhou soldiers have the dignity of Jingzhou soldiers.


    Jingzhou soldiers have their own way of death.


    Jingzhou soldiers are not cowards.


    Liu Xiu looked at Wu Fu, but saw that Wu Fu had stood up. Facing the excited people around him, he looked at the people who had fallen to the ground and died, as well as his family, and bowed himself 90 times to make an apology.


    Wu Fulang said: "I, Wu Fu, have made a big mistake. Today, in front of everyone, I''d like to thank you for your death. "


    Sonorous!


    Wu Fu pulled out the knife at his waist and cut it to his neck.


    During the conflict, Wu Fu and the other five soldiers did not draw a knife to hurt people from beginning to end.


    People, not enemies.


    The blade doesn''t point at the people.


    This is the military training of Jingzhou army.


    "Yes


    The edge of the knife across the neck, blood immediately splashed out, blood.


    "Bang Dang!"


    The steel knife fell to the ground with a trace of blood. And the look in Wu Fu''s eyes gradually lost its luster. He clenched his fist, but he knelt down steadily. He knelt down in front of Liu Xiu and said, "my Lord, I''ve disgraced Jingzhou soldiers. I''m guilty..."


    Kneeling down the body, the spine is as straight as loose.

 Chapter 485

    With the blood flowing, Wu Fu''s brain began to lose consciousness and his body began to shake.


    "Pa!"


    Wu Fu''s body fell to the ground.


    People, have no breath.


    Liu Xiu looks at Wu Fu who falls on the ground. His expression is dignified. He has a mixed feeling in his heart, which is hard to say. Wu Fu is a soldier under his command. Although he made a mistake, he is not afraid to admit it. He is a good son in the army.


    Jingzhou soldiers have the pride of Jingzhou soldiers.


    Jingzhou soldiers have the backbone of Jingzhou soldiers.


    Liu Xiu squatted down, closed Wu Fu''s eyes and said slowly, "you are good. I''m proud of you. I''ll send someone to take care of your family. "


    People were shocked to see this scene.


    No one expected that Wu Fu would commit suicide in front of all the people.


    This is the first time.


    For a moment, it was quiet all around, and there was no sound. Everyone''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu who was squatting on the ground. He was still looking at what Liu Xiu would do next.


    Liu Xiu stood up, his eyes fell on the other five soldiers kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "do you plead guilty to beating the people?"


    "The villain confessed, and he did."


    A soldier spoke without any hesitation.


    The other four soldiers also nodded their heads and admitted that they did not deny it. So many people testify that they can''t deny it. With so many people watching, Liu Xiu could not shield them.


    Liu xiulang said: "the army has repeatedly ordered that the people should not be harmed. The soldiers of Jingzhou must be safe in Jiaozhou. But you beat the people, causing casualties. You didn''t kill people, but you were involved. Are you convinced that I punished you with twenty military staff? "


    "Be convinced!"


    The five soldiers answered without sophistry.


    Liu Shoujun said, "take a cane and fix it."


    When the order is given, the soldiers will be ready immediately. After a short time, five soldiers came over, all holding the thick cane of goose eggs, standing in front of the five soldiers.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "prepare for execution!"


    Five soldiers lay on the ground, and the executioner was in place.


    "Execution!"


    Liu Xiu ordered that the five soldiers swung the cane and went straight down.


    "Pa!"


    The first cane fell and hit the soldier''s ass hard. Close observation showed that at the moment when the cane fell, the buttock and flesh began to shake on both sides, and the whole buttock position was severely impacted.


    The soldier snorted, but made no sound.


    "Pa! Bang


    The other four canes fell one after another and hit each soldier''s ass. Without exception, the five soldiers clenched their teeth, endured the pain from their buttocks, and made no sound.


    Liu Xiu suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "wait a minute!"


    The people all looked at Liu Xiu and thought, is Liu Xiu trying to stop him?


    "Liu Jingzhou, why don''t you fight? That''s the first and the 19th. If the staff of the army can''t crack the flesh and skin, I''m afraid it''s a fraud. "


    "Yes, yes. If the twenty army staff is not painful, it''s funny."


    Among the common people, some people spoke in a strange way.


    Liu Xiu listen to in the ear, in the heart sneer, such a person is always hiding in the dark, difficult to ascend the hall of elegance.


    Liu Xiu stared at the five soldiers on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Wu Fu is good. I believe you are also good. Show me the courage of Jingzhou soldiers."


    "Yes


    Five soldiers, all answer.


    Liu Xiu said, "come and prepare five pieces of wood for them to put in their mouths." The soldiers went to arrange it immediately, and soon took five pieces of wood to each soldier.


    Liu Xiu stared at the five men and said in a deep voice, "my soldiers, Liu Xiu, are not cowards. It''s just twenty sticks. I believe you. If you can''t bear it, bite the wood to death. "


    The five soldiers nodded heavily, with a touch of pride in their eyes.


    Jingzhou soldiers!


    They are decent Jingzhou soldiers. How can they be beaten down by the staff of the 20th army.


    Liu xiudao: "go on!"


    As soon as this remark came out, the people who watched around praised it, and they were even more surprised at Liu Xiu''s practice. Originally thought Liu Xiu called to stop, is to stop stick blame, did not expect to let soldiers bite wood bear.


    Shi Xie stood aside, looked in his eyes, and praised in his heart: "this method can be called brilliant, such a skill, it will be a great event."


    "Pa! Bang


    The dull sound of the staff''s responsibility is constantly ringing out.


    The cheeks of the five Jingzhou soldiers were all red, and their eyes began to congest, but they were still dead biting the wood without saying a word.


    As the cane continued to fall, all five soldiers were red in the buttocks.The pants are intact, but they are already skin to skin. The blood has dyed the pants red, and even the cane has been stained with blood. At this time, it was less than ten canes and less than half of the execution.


    "Pa!"


    The cane fell and hit the soldier''s ass hard.


    In a flash, a trace of fresh blood splashed out, and then the cane turned again with blood.


    "Hiss!"


    Many of the people around them were shocked by the scene.


    What a fight!


    This is the real fight!


    Every time the cane goes down, it''s really seeing blood, it''s really seeing the body shaking, it''s really seeing the buttocks shaking. People look at Liu Xiu''s eyes, gradually more convinced, and a touch of awe.


    Liu Xiu saw the injuries on the buttocks of soldiers in his eyes, but he didn''t worry too much.


    There is also a need to pay attention to caning.


    If you go down with a cane, you can make sure that the skin will not hurt the muscles and bones, but only the surface of the buttocks; if you go down with a cane, you can also reach the surface of the buttocks without any injury, but the muscles and bones will be damaged and the pelvis will crack. In the most serious way, the skin of the buttocks cracked and the muscles and bones were injured when the cane went down.


    Different playing methods have different effects.


    Soldiers choose the lightest way to fight. The surface is full of flesh and blood, but in fact, it doesn''t hurt the muscles and bones. It just looks painful.


    Of course, this kind of pain is not ordinary people can bear, but also quite painful.


    "Pa! Bang


    The cane continued to fall, and the soldiers were already sweating and suffering.


    "Pa!"


    After the last cane fell, the 20th army staff ended.


    Five soldiers lying on the ground, are slightly twitching, lying on the ground motionless. Even the most relaxed punishment is not simple, they also bear the greatest pain.


    Liu Xiu looked at the people around him, and then at the injured and dead people, and said in a deep voice: "those who should be killed have been killed; those who should be punished have been punished. In addition, I will pay for all medical expenses and compensation for the injured and the dead. "


    On the spot, Liu Xiu asked people to take money and give enough compensation to the injured and the family members of the dead.


    After solving the problem, Liu Xiu continued: "this is the end of it. The dead are gone, but the living have to go on. I hope that both the people in Jiaozhou and the soldiers in Jingzhou can coexist peacefully. When things happen, take a step back. Take a step back


    Suddenly, there was humanity in the crowd: "my Lord, this matter has been dealt with. I''m afraid it''s not over yet."

 Chapter 486

    Liu Xiu said, "who is speaking? Can you come out?"


    Around the people have to get out of the way, only to see an ordinary middle-aged man came out. He walked up to Liu Xiu, bowed his hand and said, "meet Liu Jingzhou, Mr. Du Bi, a scholar of Jiaozhou."


    As soon as Du Bi came out, the people around him suddenly began to talk, with an excited look in their eyes.


    "See, it''s Du Bi. He''s a great man. He thinks of us common people everywhere."


    "Du Bi has a lot of knowledge and is quite good at people."


    "Mr. Du came forward to ask. There must be something important to say."


    One by one, the people talked and looked at Du Bi with a trace of admiration and admiration.


    When Shi Xie saw this, he frowned slightly.


    In Shi Xie''s expectation, his plan was not to deal with the injury, and that was the end. In this way, the people will certainly be grateful to Liu Xiu, but also further understand the Jingzhou soldiers.


    Now, Du Bi''s sudden appearance is beyond Shi Xie''s expectation.


    Shi Xie wants to step forward, but Liu Xiu stops him with his eyes.


    Since Liu Xiu is here, he will do his best. No matter what happened today is intentional or unintentional. Liu Xiu has to deal with whether his official Du Bi deliberately finds fault or for the sake of Jiaozhou people.


    After the settlement, Liu Xiu can return to Jingzhou safely.


    Therefore, Liu Xiu had to deal with some people finding fault.


    Liu Xiu ordered people to carry away the soldiers who had been beaten by the 20 army staff. Then he looked at Du Bi and said slowly, "Mr. Du Bi, what can I do for you?"


    Du Bi''s eyes were sharp and sharp, and he said: "I think that although Liu Jingzhou dealt with the soldiers who killed people, he also dealt with the soldiers who hurt people. But such things will happen now and will happen in the future. Now it''s Liu Jingzhou who has dealt with it personally. Naturally, it''s easy to deal with it. But Liu Jingzhou will not stay in Jiaozhou all the time. When Liu Jingzhou leaves Jiaozhou, what should he do? "


    At this point, Du Bi held his head high, with a deep expression: "so just to kill a soldier and punish a few people can only cope with the current problems, but can not completely solve them."


    Liu Xiu listens to in the ear, but in the eye actually had a silk cold meaning.


    There''s something in it!


    Du Bi said so much, it is obvious that there is a follow-up.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "since Mr. Du Bi has thought of this problem, how does Mr. Du Bi plan to solve it?"


    Liu Xiu can be sure that Du Bi is a bad comer, but what''s Du Bi''s intention? He has to set it up, so Liu Xiu doesn''t speak, just waits quietly.


    When we don''t know what the situation is, we should keep the same in order to cope with changes. The enemy will always show his flaws. The time when Liu Xiu revealed his flaws was the time when Liu Xiu revealed his tusks.


    Seeing Liu Xiu''s kind attitude, Du bi was more determined.


    In front of so many people, Liu Xiu did not dare to do anything. On the contrary, even if Liu Xiu had an idea in his heart, he could only suppress it temporarily.


    For a moment, Du Bi is more confident, even chin slightly raised.


    Du Bi held his head high and walked back and forth with his hands on his back. Then he said in a loud voice: "in order to completely solve the problem of Jingzhou soldiers'' murder, I''d like to make a suggestion. Jingzhou soldiers can only be stationed outside the city. They have to buy things through official channels. They can''t enter the city without authorization. "


    "Once Jingzhou soldiers are found in the city, they will be severely punished!"


    "Jingzhou soldiers should be punished for committing crimes in the city."


    Du Bi''s expression is quite arrogant. In his eyes, there are only Jiaozhou people left. As for Jingzhou people, they are all outsiders, and they can''t enter Jiaozhou people''s life.


    Liu Xiu listened to Du Bi''s words, but he couldn''t help shaking his head.


    Such people, such problems, are really wonderful.


    Even Jiaozhou is under the control of Liu Xiu, but Jingzhou soldiers are treated differently, but Jingzhou soldiers are not allowed to enter the city. This is really a naive idea.


    But Du Bi felt good about himself and said, "Liu Jingzhou, in order to ensure the safety of the people in Jiaozhou, we must do this."


    Liu Xiu said, "I will not answer Mr. Du Bi''s proposal for the time being. However, I have a few questions. I would like to ask Mr. Du Bi. I sincerely hope that Mr. Du Bi will give me some advice. "


    Du Bi big sleeve a whisk, way: "you say!"


    Liu Xiu said: "Jiaozhou people, are they Han people?"


    "Of course!"


    Du Bi didn''t even think about it. She answered directly.


    Today, although the world is in chaos and all the vassals are in their own ways, no one dares to defy the imperial court, because the people still stand on the side of the Han Dynasty and recognize it. It does not mean that the foundation for hundreds of years can be overthrown if it is overthrown.


    People think of Han, that''s it!


    Although Jiaozhou is located in a remote area, it still respects the Han court and even cares more about the attitude of the imperial court.


    Liu Xiu asked again, "are the Jingzhou soldiers stationed in Jiaozhou the common people of the Han Dynasty?"


    Du Bi Leng for a moment, said: "Jingzhou soldiers are different, they are..."


    As soon as he spoke, Liu Xiu directly interrupted Du Bi''s explanation and said in a deep voice: "I have just one question. Are Jingzhou soldiers the common people of the Great Han Dynasty?""Yes


    Du Bi can''t deny it, she can only nod her head.


    Liu Xiu asked again, "do the people of Jiaozhou respect the law and discipline of the imperial court?"


    Without thinking, Du Bi said: "Jiaozhou people are loyal to the emperor, and naturally respect the laws and regulations of the imperial court."


    Liu Xiu said: "the emperor''s birthday, I personally went to the birthday, but also for the emperor''s birthday gift, the emperor''s tai''a sword, won the emperor''s praise. As a member of the royal family, I respect the son of heaven, but also want to fight against the traitor Cao Cao. The Jingzhou soldiers under my command have always been responsible for reviving the Han Dynasty and fighting against the rebels. Do you think the Jingzhou soldiers under my command respect the law and discipline of the imperial court? "


    Du Bi''s mouth twitched and her eyes were fluttering.


    If Liu Xiu doesn''t have the preceding paragraph, Du Bi must say that Jingzhou soldiers respect the law and discipline of the imperial court. But Liu Xiu''s words, first of all, congratulating the emperor''s birthday and then fighting against the rebel Cao Cao, have already made Jingzhou soldiers patriotic.


    Under such circumstances, if they do not respect the laws and regulations of the imperial court, who will respect them?


    Liu Xiu asked again, "is Jiaozhou still the territory of the Han Dynasty?"


    "Of course


    Du Bi directly replied that Jiaozhou, as the territory of the Han Dynasty, must be a state of peace.


    Liu Xiu nodded his head with satisfaction and said, "Jiaozhou is the territory of the Han Dynasty. Jiaozhou people are the people of the Han Dynasty. Jiaozhou people respect the laws and regulations of the imperial court. Jingzhou was also the territory of the Han Dynasty. The soldiers of Jingzhou were also the common people of the Han Dynasty, and they respected the laws and regulations of the imperial court. They are all people under the same blue sky. They are all people from the Han Dynasty. Why should we treat them differently? "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "yes, today the soldiers in Jingzhou killed people. But is it because of this that we have to deny the whole Jingzhou army and the people of Jingzhou? "


    The words of questioning, like a blade, poked at Du Bi.


    Liu Xiu continued: "this person''s teeth and tongue have to fight. When the teeth bite the tongue, don''t they need teeth? It didn''t mean to. The same is true of Wu Fu''s manslaughter. You can''t think that the whole Jingzhou army is bad just because Wu Fu killed people. "

 Chapter 487

    Facing all the common people, Liu Xiu said in a loud voice: "fellow villagers, my officers and soldiers are stationed in Jiaozhou. These days, Jingzhou soldiers have come to the city, but anything has happened. In the past one or two months, have Jingzhou soldiers bullied Jiaozhou people? "


    "Today''s event is just an example."


    "Killing people pays for their lives. According to the law and discipline, the soldiers in Jingzhou have issued the law. What they should do is what they should do. Similarly, if the people in Jiaozhou violate the law, they will also be dealt with in accordance with the law. "


    "State owned law and discipline, why use a city to block Jingzhou soldiers?"


    Liu Xiu looked serious and said: "today, according to Du Bi, Jingzhou soldiers do not enter Guangxin County, they can only stay in the barracks. Does this mean that people in Jiaozhou can''t enter Jingzhou? "


    "We are all people of the Han Dynasty. We are all people of the Han family. Why should we distinguish each other?"


    "As long as there is no mistake, who can not correct it?"


    Liu Xiu''s tone became more and more intense, and he said in a loud voice, "so I don''t accept Du Bi''s suggestion. I believe that Shi Xie, as the governor of Jiaozhou, will be able to handle these matters well. "


    After listening, the people also nodded.


    On the contrary, Du Bi, standing in front of Liu Xiu, has lost the previous air, no longer a trace of pride. Originally intended to take the opportunity to force Liu Xiu, did not expect Liu Xiu in turn to give him a slap.


    This time, I lost face.


    Du Bi quickly stepped back and did not dare to speak any more.


    When Shi Xie saw this scene, he raised his hand to signal the people to be quiet, and then said, "I am recommended by Liu Jingzhou to be the governor of Jiaozhou. I can assure you that if something similar happens in the future, no matter whose fault it is, it will be dealt with impartially. "


    "Of course, I can''t guarantee that there will be no conflict."


    "After all, even if they are husband and wife, they will quarrel sometimes? Just like this morning, my old wife scolded my husband. Of course, my husband laughed too much. "


    "There are still contradictions between the couple, not to mention the common people?"


    Shi Xie looked serious and solemnly said, "so I promise that I will deal with things impartially and will not favor anyone."


    Shi Xie''s words made the people open their mouths one after another.


    It was only when people''s emotions were completely calmed down that people''s resentment was completely dredged.


    Liu Xiu looked at the people around him, his eyes turned, and he was suddenly angry with an idea. He looked at Huang Zhong standing on one side. It seems that there are still some things to be announced and dealt with to make Huang Zhong gain a firm foothold in Jiaozhou.


    When Liu Xiu had an idea, he immediately raised his hand and said, "folks, please listen to me."


    When the people heard the words, they all spontaneously quieted down.


    Liu Xiu continued: "I will leave Jiaozhou and return to Jingzhou. However, before I leave, I can assure the villagers that Jiaozhou will gradually provide the villagers with food, housing, reading and medical services under my administration. "


    Hiss!


    A sound of cold breath came out among the people.


    Food and housing are relatively simple things.


    People are surprised that they have books to read, which is the most important thing.


    In this era, it is believed that everything is inferior, only reading is high. People who have read books have different identities. In particular, reading has always been a rich family. It is something that rich people can do. Now Liu Xiu proposed that all the people should be able to read, which is not simple.


    So much so that the people were shocked.


    Shi Xie stood aside with a look of astonishment in his eyes. Liu Xiu''s goal was too grand.


    This goal, let alone Liu Xiu, could not be achieved even by the emperor or Cao Cao.


    How does Liu Xiu achieve this goal?


    Shi Xie was a little worried. It was easy for Liu Xiu to draw a cake. But once the people believed it, it didn''t come true. It must be that Liu Xiu lost the trust and popularity of the people.


    Liu Xiu looked at the people, but his face was confident and calm.


    After talking for a while, the people began to talk about being able to see a doctor.


    In this era, the medical skills are not mature. There are not many real doctors. Many people get sick and have no money to see a doctor. They either find some herbal medicine to take or drag it on. Now Liu Xiu has said that it''s really bold to let people see a doctor.


    When Du Bi saw Liu Xiu boasting about Haikou, he didn''t believe it. There was a smile on his lips.


    Now, it''s time to fight back against Liu Xiu.


    Du Bi stood up and said, "Liu Jingzhou said that people in Jiaozhou should have food, housing, reading and seeing a doctor. How can we do that?"


    Liu Xiu smile, said: "Mr. Du Bi asked well, this question should be everyone''s problem."


    "Yes, that''s what we think."


    "Liu Jingzhou has said that. How can we solve it?"


    "Liu Jingzhou, we don''t want to be able to read, we just want to be able to eat and wear. That''s good.""Please ask Liu Jingzhou for advice!"


    One by one, the people standing on the street spoke and looked forward to it.


    At this moment, the mood of the people is really hanging up.


    Everyone''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu.


    When Shi Xie looked at the people''s actions and the changes of the people, his heart suddenly burst.


    If Liu Xiu can really solve these problems, then Jiaozhou people will really return to their hearts and work for Liu Xiu. At that time, Liu Xiu''s control of Jiaozhou was no longer based on his military strength, but on the people''s will. At that time, Jiaozhou would be Liu Xiu''s backyard.


    Liu Xiu glanced at the people and said slowly, "folks, please be quiet. Please listen to me."


    "Shh


    The people put up their index finger and hissed in front of their mouth to signal to be quiet.


    All the people, spontaneous silence.


    At the moment, everyone''s eyes are staring at Liu Xiu, with a strong expectation.


    Liu xiulang said in a voice: "I first said that there is food to eat, about this. When I was a magistrate in Jingzhou, I began to open up wasteland for the common people to cultivate. This time the army was stationed in Jiaozhou. On the one hand, the officers and soldiers would train their troops, on the other hand, they would open up wasteland, and the cultivated farmland would be leased to the common people. "


    "If the people are willing to open up wasteland together, the people will not only have the right to use the farmland, but also be exempt from taxes."


    "Jiaozhou has vast mountains and numerous forests."


    "There are so many places with vast land and few people. Why not reclaim them? The Jingzhou soldiers under my command will take the lead and gradually open up wasteland for cultivation. "


    Liu xiulang said: "as long as you are willing to work, I believe that the people in Jiaozhou will not be hungry and will be able to eat and clothe in the future."


    WOW!


    The people around applauded.


    After hearing this, Shi Xie agreed with Liu Xiu''s suggestion.

 Chapter 488

    If the soldiers of the army can help to open up wasteland, it is naturally the best result. When the time comes, the government will get in touch with the army again, so that this matter can be handled well and the development of Jiaozhou can be promoted.


    Once he was handed over to the state for administration, he, an old man of his age, would be able to keep a good name in history.


    Excited, Shi Xie said in a loud voice: "fellow villagers, what Liu Jingzhou said is true. On behalf of Jiaozhou, my official will actively contact with Jingzhou to carry out the reclamation. We need to start preparing from this year, and only after the spring of next year can we have a large number of fields for cultivation. "


    Shi Xie''s words inspired the people, and they were all excited.


    The atmosphere around us was high.


    Huang Zhong saw in his eyes that he had one more thing to deal with. Moreover, Huang Zhong is willing to do this. It must be quite difficult to support tens of thousands of troops only by Jingzhou or Jiaozhou. The best way is to open up wasteland and open up wasteland for the army to support itself.


    Therefore, Liu Xiu''s proposal is also in line with Huang Zhong''s idea.


    Liu Xiu raised his hand and pressed it down. Everyone soon became quiet again and stopped talking.


    Liu Xiu knew that the hearts of the people were on his side, but what he wanted was for the people to return to their hearts, to be tied to his chariot, to follow him, and not to change.


    So Liu Xiu''s method is not only to let people have land to cultivate and eat.


    Liu xiulang said in a voice: "folks, about having a house to live in. During this period of time, I visited many places in Guangxin county and found that many people''s houses were very poor. When it rains, it''s heavy outside and light inside. When it''s windy, it''s windy outside and cool inside; when it''s exposed to the sun, it''s a steamer outside and an oven inside. "


    "Such things have to be solved."


    "What the government does is to make the people live a good life."


    "When I was in charge of Jingzhou, there was a Taishou named Kuai Yue under my command. He was the Taishou of Wuling county. When he was in power, he united the officers and soldiers and set out a unified area to build houses so that the poor people could live in it. "


    "In this way, the problem of the people has been solved."


    "It''s the same with Jiaozhou. Jiaozhou will also adopt this strategy. The government, Jingzhou soldiers and Jiaozhou soldiers will work together to build houses, so as to ensure that the poor people can have houses and will not be exposed to the wind and sun."


    This article proposed by Liu Xiu refers to Kuai Yue''s practice.


    Although it is relatively difficult, it is not difficult as long as we are willing to make efforts.


    And the people will also participate in such a good thing.


    As long as Shi Xie, as a coordinator, coordinates well in the middle, things will be easy. If Shi Xie didn''t coordinate well, it would be very difficult to rely only on Huang Zhong''s work. The key is cooperation.


    Shi Xie thought it over carefully. He knew it was difficult, but he thought about what he got from it. Such a thing is definitely of great merit. Once he has done it, he must be a person who wants to make contributions.


    Meritorious service, morality and speech is the goal of life.


    Now that Shi Xie has such an opportunity, he naturally will not give up, but will pursue it diligently.


    Around the people, at this time is boiling up. Liu Xiu''s promise is really great. To them, Liu Xiu is just like a savior. One by one, Liu Xiu''s eyes even had fanatical worship.


    Worship!


    Thank you!


    Convinced!


    All kinds of emotions breed in the hearts of the people, and the people have long been convinced of Liu Xiu.


    Du Bi, standing in front of Liu Xiu, is not in a good mood.


    Good guy!


    Liu Xiu has cheated so many people.


    Du Bi decides to tear down Liu Xiu. He stares at Liu Xiu and asks in a deep voice, "Liu Jingzhou''s idea of food and housing is easy to solve. But Liu Jingzhou proposed that people can read, how to solve this problem? For hundreds of years, the Han Dynasty was unable to achieve such a situation. It was difficult for poor people to get officials and poor people to get scholars. Reading has always been the right of the rich and the rich. How can we poor people study? "


    Liu Xiu smiles. Although Du Bi is a fool, he is cute.


    Today, thanks to Du Bi.


    Liu Xiu was confident in his eyes and asked: "just now Mr. Du Bi used a word - are we, Mr. Du Bi, also from a poor family?"


    "Er..."


    When Du Bi heard the speech, he was immediately dumbfounded.


    Du was born into a poor family in cangbiwu county.


    At this time, Du bi was dumb and speechless.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "since Mr. Du Bi is not from a poor family, why should he represent the people? Besides, Mr. Du Bi is a man. How can he represent so many people? "Du Bi stepped back two steps, with a trace of panic in his eyes.


    Liu Xiu is so powerful that he attacked him like this today.


    For a moment, Du bi was unable to retreat, but was embarrassed by Liu Xiuwen.


    Liu Xiu brushed his sleeves and said, "well, let''s not mention the origin of Mr. Du Bi." He looked at the people''s expectant eyes with solemn and serious expression. He said in a loud voice: "the people''s reading and opening up their wisdom are the things that I have been here for a long time."


    "When I was in charge of Jingzhou, I urged my teacher Pang Degong to come forward and set up lumen Academy."


    "The lumen academy is not aimed at the rich families, it is widely accepted by students. But people of all ages can read. Today''s lumen academy has been promoted in all counties of Jingzhou. "


    "Lumen academy is all over Jingzhou. Why? It''s just for the people to read. "


    "This is true of Jingzhou, and so is Jiaozhou under my administration."


    "The counties of Jiaozhou will also be led by lumen academy to gradually establish lumen Academy in Jiaozhou, so that all the people can read."


    Liu Xiu''s tone was impassioned and he said in a loud voice: "it doesn''t matter if you don''t read and read in your generation. But do your children, your grandchildren, let them not read for generations? "


    "Only by reading can there be a way out."


    "Now you are farming people, but think about it. In the future, there will be a scholar and the first official among your descendants. What a glory."


    Liu xiulang said: "when I returned to Jingzhou, I had the opportunity to arrange for the lumen Academy in Jiaozhou, so that the people in Jiaozhou could read and read."

 Chapter 489

    "Hiss!"


    Shi Xie took a cold breath, and his eyes were terrified and blazing.


    As an old man who has lived for about 70 years, he has seen too many big waves. However, Liu Xiu''s practice gave Shi Xie an opportunity to keep his name not only in the world, but also in the history.


    Once the lumen Academy was established in Jiaozhou, once the people in Jiaozhou could read and read, he would be honored as the governor of Jiaozhou.


    His taxi home will also be extremely glorious.


    Shi Xie''s look at Liu Xiu was even more different.


    After all, Jiaozhou and Jingzhou have a long way to go. Although he knows something about Liu Xiu, he doesn''t know many details. For example, Shi Xie didn''t know about lumen Academy.


    Shi Xie did not expect that Liu Xiu''s governance of Jingzhou had reached this stage. No wonder Liu Xiu was able to take charge of Jingzhou. No wonder Liu Xiu was able to resist Cao Cao with his own strength.


    Shi Xie could have thought that once the people in Jiaozhou could study, everyone in Jiaozhou would naturally praise Liu Xiu.


    at that time, who dares to oppose Liu Xiu?


    Once anyone wants to oppose Liu Xiu, the first one is the common people.


    Without Liu Xiu''s help, the people who have benefited from Liu Xiu will be the first to wipe out those who oppose Liu Xiu.


    Liu Bei is not wronged for his defeat!


    In Shi Xie''s heart, he suddenly thought of Liu Bei. Compared with Liu Xiu, Liu Bei is really too weak. It''s a matter of course that he was defeated in the hands of leaving Liu Xiu.


    The surrounding people are even more enthusiastic.


    When people looked at Liu Xiu, they were already crazy.


    "Liu Jingzhou is powerful!"


    Suddenly, in the crowd, I thought of a shout.


    "Liu Jingzhou is powerful!"


    "Liu Jingzhou is powerful!"


    The people all cried out one after another, countless people cried out, and their faces were filled with excited smiles. They looked at Liu Xiu as if they were looking at their parents.


    At the same time, people look at Du Bi''s expression, suddenly become bad.


    Du Bi saw a pair of murderous eyes, heart uneasy.


    "If you don''t leave now, when will you stay?"


    Du Bi did not dare to stay, turned around and quickly retreated into the people, and then quietly disappeared.


    Liu Xiu looks at Du Bi''s disappearing figure and doesn''t intend to beat the water dog. His speech today, what happened today, will certainly spread, and will certainly set off a huge storm in Jiaozhou.


    Liu Xiu looked at the excited people and raised his hand again.


    Liu Xiu a squeak, the people are quiet down.


    They stare at Liu Xiu and wait for him to continue talking.


    Liu xiulang said: "I don''t talk big about seeing a doctor. I just talk about what happened in Jingzhou. The Xiangyang hospital has been set up in Jingzhou. The so-called hospital is the place to see a doctor. The president of Xiangyang hospital is Zhang Zhongjing, a miracle doctor. The doctors are all famous doctors in Jingzhou and even in the whole country. "


    "Xiangyang hospital is established in Xiangyang, which is the general hospital."


    "Every county in Jingzhou has started to set up branch hospitals, and people with high expectations in the hospitals will take charge of daily affairs. My goal is that every county in Xiangyang can have a hospital, and even every village can have a doctor


    Liu Xiu said: "Xiangyang is like this, Jingzhou is like this. The same is true for Jiaozhou. Perhaps Jiaozhou will be a little slower, but this is the result that must be achieved. All counties and counties in Jiaozhou will be arranged in the same way as Jingzhou. "


    "When it comes to seeing a doctor, many people may say," I can''t afford to see a doctor without money. "


    "Please rest assured that the drugs in the hospital are cheap and the cost is very low. At the same time, the hospital also has its own system, which will ensure that patients can treat diseases. "


    Liu Xiuse said: "so I said that we should have food, housing, reading and seeing a doctor."


    "This is not empty talk, but the policy that Jingzhou has implemented."


    "I govern Jingzhou as well as Jiaozhou. The people who are also under the command of this official should be able to enjoy these benefits


    Liu Xiu brushed his big sleeves, raised his hands, and said in a loud voice: "fellow villagers, I have finished what I want to say. So please believe me and give me a little time. "


    After hearing this, the common people opened their mouths one after another.


    In the eyes of the common people, there was a look of excitement. The common people have been impressed by the blueprint Liu Xiu described, and they have made up their minds one by one. Pay attention to follow Liu Xiu wholeheartedly.


    In his heart, Shi Xie thought: "although Liu Xiu''s move is bold and difficult, once it is successful, it will be the world''s contribution and the foundation of the world."


    Liu xiulang said: "everyone, after my official returns to Jingzhou, Huang Zhong will deal with the matter of handing over to Jingzhou. Huang Zhong is the general under his command. He is the chief General in charge of the army. "


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Huang Zhong.


    Huang Zhong stepped forward. He raised his hand and pressed down. He motioned to the people to be quiet. He said in a loud voice, "you guys, I''m going to be a rude man. I don''t know how to speak. Therefore, I will only make three points. ""First, Ben will strictly carry out the things set by the Lord, and achieve the four points that the LORD said."


    "Second, I will cooperate with you."


    "Third, we will ensure the safety of Jiaozhou, and prevent Jiaozhou from being affected by the war and the people from being attacked by thieves and bandits."


    Huang Zhong bowed his fist and said in a loud voice, "that''s what Ben will say. Please give me some time so that Ben will be able to reach the arrangement of the Lord calmly and steadily."


    When the people heard the speech, they were excited again.


    Even the generals under Liu Xiu''s command have made their stand. Naturally, things are right.


    Shi Xie answered and said in a loud voice, "folks, that''s all for today. The matter has been dealt with. So, the villagers are all scattered. "


    After hearing this, the people did not go.


    One by one, his eyes were still on Liu Xiu,


    "let''s let Liu Jingzhou go first!"


    Suddenly, a shout came from the crowd.


    "Let Liu Jingzhou go first!"


    "Let Liu Jingzhou go first!"


    The people yelled one after another. As the people spoke, the people who were crowded together made way for Liu Xiu to go out. Liu Xiu got this road through what he said just now. It is also the respect of the people for Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu bowed 90 degrees to thank the people around him, then turned and walked out.


    Huang Zhong, Huang Hu, Deng Zhan and others followed and went out.


    Shi Xie takes Cangwu sheriff, Guangxin county magistrate and others to go out. Shi Xie looks at Liu Xiu''s back and says in his heart that Liu Xiu is too powerful. He wanted to give Liu Xiu a chance to build up his prestige, but he didn''t expect that Liu Xiu could draw inferences from one instance, completely win the hearts of the people on such an occasion, and let all the people turn to support him.


    Shi Xie is sure that after today, Liu Xiu''s words will spread around like a storm, and the whole Jiaozhou will be boiling. Countless people will turn to support Liu Xiu.


    Whoever wants to stop Liu Xiu is the enemy of the people in Jiaozhou.


    The general trend of the times is what the people want. Liu Xiu has condensed the general trend with the help of the people''s will.

 Chapter 490

    Shijia, the hall.


    Shi Xie, Liu Xiu, Huang Zhong and others were sitting in the hall.


    After Liu Xiu left, he soon joined Shi Xie and came to Shi Xie''s house.


    Shi Xie looked admirable and praised: "my Lord, today''s performance is admirable. The courage of the soldiers under the Lord''s command is heartbreaking. "


    Liu Xiu said: "this is also the credit of Wei Yangong."


    Shi Xie changed his words and said, "my Lord is now in charge of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou. He has defeated Cao Cao and awed Sun Quan. With the credit of the Lord, why not be king? "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "is Wei Yangong going to barbecue me on the fire?"


    In a word, Shi Xie no longer spoke.


    Although Shi Xie''s proposal was good, Liu Xiu knew that he could not do it.


    Once he did, Liu Xiu was the target of thousands of people.


    Today, Liu Xiu is a loyal official recognized by the imperial court and a talent needed by the imperial court. In the eyes of people all over the world, Liu Xiu worked hard for the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty, rather than being a disorderly official like Yuan Shu.


    Liu Xiu needs this level of identity to take charge of Jingzhou.


    Therefore, Liu Xiu can not be king.


    Liu Xiu said: "Wei Yangong, I''m leaving Jiaozhou, so the next thing is between you and Huang Zhong."


    Shi Xie said, "don''t worry, my Lord. I will cooperate with you."


    Huang Zhong also said: "Lord, the end will certainly do his best to help Wei Yan."


    Liu Xiu nodded, very satisfied with their attitude. If Jiaozhou is to be well governed, it will take two people to join hands. At present, there is no problem. It depends on the subsequent running in. Liu Xiu had dinner at the scholar''s house, and then left with Huang Zhong and others.


    After returning to the barracks, Liu Xiu left with Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Shi Xuan and others.


    The army was handed over to commander Huang Zhong.


    Liu Xiu and his party retired after success.


    As the team retreated, it was easy to enjoy the journey.


    After leaving Jiaozhou, he entered Jingzhou.


    On this day, Taoist priest qingxuzi came to Liu Xiu and bowed himself.


    Liu Xiu said, "what''s the matter with Taoist priest?"


    Qingxuzi zhengse way: "poor way is for adult''s prestige."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "let''s hear it."


    For qingxuzi, Liu Xiu is also quite appreciative. He is a talented person who can govern by doing nothing. But after qingxuzi had treated the soldiers'' disease, he seldom came to see him. Liu Xiu was also busy, and qingxuzi just disappeared.


    Qingxuzi said: "in the past, Liu Bang, the emperor of Gao, killed the White Snake and rode the cavalry. He once discussed this matter with myth and said that he was the son of the Red Emperor. At the end of the day, it''s just a trick. I think you can do the same. "


    Liu xiuxiao said, "what is the Taoist priest going to do?"


    Qingxuzi replied, "send someone to prepare the big stone and write," Liu should prosper and pacify the world! " Create miracles to win people''s hearts. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "if the Taoist priest can do it well, it is naturally the best."


    Liu Xiu doesn''t mind showing miracles.


    In history, in order to show their authority and rationality, more and more people specially performed miracles, not one or two, which was also the exclusive means of the emperor. Liu Xiu naturally didn''t mind that qingxuzi was willing to do so.


    Qingxuzi said, "if we want to accomplish this, we have to cooperate with Liu Jingzhou."


    Liu Xiu said, "yes, you can draw up a statement. After I review it, I will give you enough support."


    "No!"


    Qingxuzi arched his hand and there was a smile on his face.


    In fact, qingxuzi was not interested in miracles. What he valued was that he could pull out a group of people to operate it. When it''s over, Liu Xiu has to offer rewards for his merits, so that people of the Taoist school can have the chance to become officials.


    Liu Qingzi is also thinking about things in his mind.


    It''s a good operation. It''s really good.


    It is more appropriate to slander the enemy or to mythologize ourselves. After that, Liu Xiu had to do something. With the miraculous signs, Liu Xiu was easy to operate.


    Everything can be pushed away from God.


    Liu Xiu looked at qingxuzi''s back and there was a smile on his face.


    After returning to Changsha County, Liu Xiu inquired about the defense situation of Changsha County and was relieved to learn that taishici, the general of Qichun County, had sent troops to take over. He can rest assured that taishici is in charge.


    The team went north to Changsha County, passed through Nanjun county and returned to Xiangyang.


    Back in Xiangyang, it''s already cold.


    Another year passed, and Liu Xiu was one year older.


    When the army returned to the camp, Liu Xiu first took Shi Xuan back to his residence, introduced Shi Xuan to Huang Yueying and sun Shangxiang, and made them know each other. Then he went back to his study and invited Kuai Liang and Yi Ji.Liu xiudao: "I have worked hard for you two since I left Xiangyang."


    Kuai Liang shook his head and said, "it''s not hard to be humble."


    Yi Ji said: "to serve the Lord, I enjoy my humble position. This time, the Lord defeated Liu Bei and calmed Jiaozhou, which means that our rear area will be more stable. My Lord, this is killing two birds with one stone. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "it''s really a good thing to beat Liu Bei. Now, with the help of SHIXIE, the peace of Jiaozhou will soon come. With Jiaozhou''s support in the rear, our foundation will be more stable. "


    As soon as the words changed, Liu Xiu asked, "what are the important things in this period of time?"


    Kuai Liang and Yi Ji look at each other, and both of them have a dignified look in their eyes.


    As soon as Liu Xiu''s eyes swept, he knew that something had happened.


    It should not be a simple thing for both of them to do so.


    Liu Xiu said, "what happened?"


    Kuai Liang replied: "since the founding of the people''s Republic of China, many officials have been added to every county. Most of these officials came from poor families, and some of them were real rich families. "


    "After these people came to power, they really changed the atmosphere and made great achievements in the administration of various counties."


    "However, they also complained about the family that was aimed at them."


    Kuai Liang was very worried and said: "in addition to the previous affairs of the Academy, the aristocratic family had a grudge. Things are getting more and more serious. The reason why they haven''t broken out is that they haven''t met the fuse. In case of problems, I''m afraid it will cause great turbulence. "


    Liu Xiu asked, "is there any statistics on the contradictions between the poor aristocrats and their families?"


    Kuai Liang said: "there is no need to make statistics about this. Every place where poor aristocrats go to take up their posts has received complaints from the aristocratic family that they have been suppressed. Lord, according to the information we have, there is a connection between these poor scholars. "


    Brush!


    Liu Xiu''s face became dignified.


    The poor scholars are connected!


    It means that these people are already in groups.


    It is not a good thing for Liu Xiu to form a party. Because the punishment is not responsible for the public, in this way, if they unite, it will make Liu Xiu very difficult.


    Yi Ji zhengse said: "Lord, it''s already a fight between the poor family and the aristocratic family. If you don''t pay attention to it, it will cause turbulence. Not to mention the people of Jiangdong and Cao Wei, they will certainly add fuel to the flames. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "this matter really needs to be treated with caution."


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, Deng Zhan''s voice sounded outside the study.


    Liu Xiu said, "come in!"


    Creak!


    When the door opened, Deng Zhan came in in a hurry, saluted Liu Xiu in the room, and then said, "my Lord, something''s wrong. There''s turbulence in Yicheng County. The family headed by the Ma family of Yicheng County clashed with the magistrate of Yicheng County. "


    Liu Xiumei was in such a hurry.


    As soon as the news came back, something happened.

 Chapter 491

    Liu Xiu asked, "where is the conflict between the two sides?"


    Deng Zhan replied: "according to the news from the front line, the Ma family directly surrounded the county government, but they didn''t attack. The magistrate of Yicheng County, who was in charge of the county government, also mobilized soldiers to surround the Majia. Now, both sides are in a state of confrontation. "


    Liu Xiu clenched his fist and then loosened it.


    Ma Jia!


    Yicheng County Magistrate!


    People on both sides are really upset.


    Liu Xiu said, "I''ll invite Pang Tong and Jia Xu to discuss business immediately."


    "No!"


    Soon after Deng Zhan went on, Pang Tong, Jia Xu and Deng Zhan sat in.


    Liu Xiu said simply about the current situation and said: "the current situation, the contradiction between the poor family and the aristocratic family, has been completely brought out. What should we do?"


    Kuai Liang himself was born in a noble family. Although he was on Liu Xiu''s side, he also said, "my Lord, I have a humble position. There is something wrong with a strong family, but many poor scholars who have been promoted this year are too strong. Everything is aimed at the aristocratic family, making things bigger and bigger. "


    Yi Ji said: "humble for a time, can not think of a solution."


    Kuai Liang and Yi Ji''s words are of no use to Liu Xiu.


    Pang Tong thought about it and said, "Lord, aristocratic families are also useful for existence, and poor families are also useful. I think we can play fifty boards each. "


    Liu Xiu was not satisfied with Pang Tong''s words.


    This method can not solve the fundamental problem.


    Liu Xiu looked at Jia Xu. Among the people, Jia Xu was the most resourceful.


    Jia Xu said: "Lord, there are too many aristocratic families in Jingzhou counties. Once the aristocratic families are disposed of, I''m afraid there will be unrest in Jingzhou. At that time, Cao Cao and Sun Quan will certainly step in. Therefore, the aristocratic family must not be turbulent. Poor family is the backbone of my Lord''s promotion and the foundation of his ambition. Once the poor officials are disposed of, their loyalty to the Lord will also be affected, so they can not be disposed of. My idea is to go in the direction of reconciliation. "


    The general direction can only be like this, and can not be partial to one side.


    Kuai Liang said: "if we can reconcile, there will be no situation in Yicheng County. In the present situation, all counties and counties are watching, and it is quite difficult to reconcile. Even the Ma family is no longer a pure Ma family, but represents the whole family of Jingzhou. The magistrate of Yicheng County is not only the magistrate of Yicheng County, but also the poor scholar of Jingzhou. "


    Pang Tong sighed: "it''s a real trouble!"


    Liu Xiu looked at several people under his command, and they all argued endlessly, and he couldn''t come up with a solution for the time being.


    After all, it''s hard to deal with.


    Pang Tong was good at marching and fighting, and he could do nothing about this political wrangle.


    Jia Xu put forward the direction, but did not put forward the follow-up.


    After Liu Xiu saw it, he said, "let''s all go down and think about it."


    When they got up to leave, Liu Xiu suddenly said, "Wenhe, stay!"


    "No!"


    Jia Xu went back to his seat and waited quietly.


    After everyone left, Liu Xiucai said, "Wenhe, how does Wenhe think about the relationship between the poor family and the aristocratic family?"


    At this time, Liu Xiu asked again.


    Jia Xu heard the speech, but did not immediately speak, but silence down.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu was very happy.


    Jia Xu''s silence proves that there is still a chance. He is certainly not at his wit''s end.


    Liu Xiu is also thinking about it in his heart. He must deal with it properly, or even solve it fundamentally, otherwise it will happen in the future.


    A moment later, Jia Xu opened his mouth. He said, "if the Lord wants to deal with this matter, he must first set a tone."


    "What tone?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Jia Xu said: "whether it''s a poor family or a family, it''s just a piece of chess in the master''s hand, just a chip in the master''s hand. Any piece or chip that wants to overstep should be punished. "


    Liu Xiu pondered Jia Xu''s words and said, "the meaning of military strategists is that they will be punished."


    "So it is


    Jia Xu nodded and said, "not only should they be punished, but they should be convinced."


    Liu Xiu smelled the speech with a smile in his mouth.


    Jia Xu''s analysis gradually opened his mind.


    Liu Xiu asked, "how to punish them so that they can be convinced?"


    Jia Xu chuckled and said, "which buttock is clean, whether it''s a family or an official? It is not so easy to do a good job in official positions. We should check carefully, and we can find out the problems. "


    Liu Xiu thought about it and pondered over Jia Xu''s problem.


    All of a sudden, Liu Xiu said, "military adviser, you mean to break the surface with a little."


    Jia Xu said: "my Lord is wise. The Ma family represents the Jingzhou family, so let the Ma family lead the whole Jingzhou family. Yicheng County Magistrate represents Jingzhou humble officials, so Yicheng County Magistrate leads the whole humble officials. Bring them all in before you can deal with them. "Liu Xiu showed approval in his eyes and said, "the words of the military adviser have made me suddenly open."


    Jia Xu said, "do you have a way?"


    "Yes!"


    With a smile in his mouth, Liu Xiu had a complete plan in his heart.


    Jia Xu said: "Congratulations, Lord!"


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said: "at present, there is one more important thing, that is, some time ago, qingxuzi thought about it and said that he planned to show miracles to show heaven''s value to me. What do you think of it? "


    Jia Xu turned his head and suddenly said, "the news of qingxuzi is just right."


    "Why?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Jia Xu said: "the Lord let qingxuzi show his miracles, and then let the people spread them. Is it more appropriate for the officials to deal with the affairs in the minds of the people? "


    Liu Xiu caressed his hand and said, "a word from a military adviser is reasonable."


    Jia Xu arched his hand and said, "Lord, if there is nothing else, I will leave my humble position."


    "Well!"


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and sent Jia Xu away.


    At this time, Deng Zhan came in and said, "Lord, Mr. Pang and Mr. Huang are here."


    "Please


    Liu Xiu waved his hand, but his eyes were dignified. Even Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan are here. It seems that the dispute between the aristocratic family and the poor family is really serious.


    Soon, pound and Huang Chengyan came to the study.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "teacher, father-in-law, please sit down!"


    When they sat down, pound said justly, "Jixu, what''s your plan about the fight between the poor family and the aristocratic family?"


    Liu Xiu said, "how did the teacher and his father-in-law think about it?"


    Liu Xiu could not tell them how to deal with this matter. After all, they were not only his teacher and father-in-law, but also the principal of the Pang and Huang families.


    Pound said justly: "I don''t want you to be partial to the aristocratic family or the scholar. On the one hand, I am the head of the Pang family and a member of the aristocratic family. On the other hand, I am the principal of lumen academy, and there are many poor scholars in lumen Academy. I am also their teacher. So the purpose of my coming here is that I hope you can deal with it impartially, and I don''t want you to take sides. "


    Huang Chengyan said: "I mean the same thing. It''s fair and just. Pang Gong and Lao Fu are very worried because if this matter is not handled properly, or if they are partial to either side, it will shake the foundation of Jingzhou. "


    Liu Xiu listened to their words and felt warm in his heart.


    Mr. pound gave him his full support. He was both a teacher and a father.


    Huang Chengyan also fully supports him.


    Liu Xiu''s expression was serious, and he said: "although the teacher and father-in-law can rest assured, I will handle this matter properly, and will not let the fight between the poor family and the aristocratic family shake the foundation of Jingzhou."


    When Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan heard the speech, they were all relieved.


    "Is there a solution?" he asked


    Huang Chengyan also looked at Liu Xiu and waited for his answer.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "there is no solution for the moment. I have just summoned Kuai Liang, Yi Ji, Pang Tong and others, but they still haven''t discussed the result. After further deliberation, a decision can be made. "


    Pound is fair: "well, this matter must think twice before you act, remember not to come foolishly."


    Liu xiuxiao said, "I understand. I''ve just returned to Xiangyang. I should have visited my teacher and father-in-law, but there are too many things. I''m afraid I''ll have to finish my work and visit my teacher and father-in-law again. "


    "No harm!"


    When Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan heard the speech, they both shook their heads and chuckled.


    They didn''t stay either. After a few words, they said goodbye and left.


    Liu Xiu saw them off and went back to his study.

 Chapter 492

    After Liu Xiu returned to the study, Deng Zhan also came to the study to wait.


    When it comes to the struggle between poor families and aristocratic families, Deng Zhan is already a little excited. At this moment, it must be the time for his royal guards to come out. The royal guards are responsible for monitoring all places. Now we need the mainstay of the royal guards to turn the tide.


    A moment later, Liu Xiu said, "Deng Zhan!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Deng Zhan stood up straight.


    At this moment, Deng Zhan''s eyes sparkled with excitement.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were calm. He had an overall plan in his heart. He said, "you immediately order to dispatch the royal guards, and take Yicheng County Magistrate and Ma Qi, the head of the Ma family, directly to Xiangyang and detain them in the royal guards government."


    "Yes


    Deng Zhan answered and waited for Liu Xiu to continue to give orders.


    Liu Xiu Hui said, "you check out the old people who are new officials, and secretly investigate their details to see if they have violated laws and regulations, deliberately directed against families, or even been confused by Cao Cao and Sun Quan."


    "Yes


    Deng Zhanyi was even more excited when he heard the news.


    If there are many things to do, the royal guards will have the opportunity to play their skills.


    Liu Xiu once again said: "third, you check the details of the Ma family and the aristocratic families involved, and draw out the details of the major aristocratic families in each county. I need their details."


    "I understand!"


    In Deng Zhan''s voice, there was a little more excitement.


    Excited!


    At the moment, Deng Zhan felt that the pores of his whole body were relaxing, excited and excited.


    After Liu Xiufen finished, he waved his hand and said, "go down!"


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan bowed to give a salute, turned around and stepped down.


    Sitting in the study, Liu Xiu took pen and paper to write and draw, thinking about the whole idea of this matter. He already has a plan, but if he wants to do it one by one, he must think it over carefully, without any mistakes.


    Deng Zhan left the prefecture and went straight to the government office of the royal guards.


    After he sat down, he summoned the royal guards under his command, looked at them one by one, and said in a loud voice, "here''s our business. Now, I''ll arrange the next thing. "


    Immediately, Deng Zhan arranged the orders.


    All the officials of the royal guards got the task.


    After Deng Zhan finished, he said in a loud voice: "the task must be verified clearly, but we can''t leak information. Do you understand?"


    "I understand!"


    All the royal guards look excited and are ready to start.


    "Let''s go. Let''s go."


    With a wave of Deng Zhan''s big sleeve, everyone began to carry out the task.


    Deng Zhan sat alone in the hall, looking excited. The royal guards are not very useful in war. But when it comes to internal affairs, we need to check things, which is what the royal guards are good at.


    ¡­¡­


    Yicheng County, county seat.


    At this time, Ma''s private soldiers still surrounded the county government.


    The officers and soldiers of the government also surrounded the Ma family.


    Each side has surrounded the other, but neither side has made any further moves. At this point, things have become more and more serious, but both sides have restrained themselves from going to war directly. They all know that once a war starts, the consequences will be unimaginable.


    At the gate of the county government, county magistrate Qiu Chen stands tall.


    Qiu Chen''s eyes fell on Ma Qi outside the gate and said in a loud voice: "master Ma, I always enforce the law impartially when dealing with government affairs. The people of your Ma family really turned over their crimes and should be arrested and put into prison. If you withdraw now, I will let bygones be bygones. "


    Although Qiu Chen didn''t like the Ma family, he also knew that Ma Liang and Ma Su were in the army.


    These two people are deeply respected by Liu Xiuqi.


    Ma Qi also has some scruples, but when Ma''s family is bullied, he can''t ignore it. Ma Qi Lang says: "magistrate Qiu, I know whether Ma''s people make mistakes. He is not a big mistake, but you want to abolish the public privacy. Hum, you are an official of the people. You can release the people of my Ma family, and then withdraw the officers and soldiers who surround the Ma family. I will withdraw the people and leave immediately. "


    "Don''t you think about it!"


    When Qiu Chen heard what march said, he refused.


    Once he gives in, he will lose this fight with his family.


    If he is defeated, how can he look up in front of other poor officials? At this time, Qiu trace, to some extent, has been pushed out as a representative.


    March is the same, he said in a loud voice: "Qiu county magistrate does not release people, I can not withdraw soldiers."


    The confrontation between the two sides continues.


    "Da! Dada


    Suddenly, the sound of a horse''s hoof came from the street.


    "When the royal guards handle the case, others will retreat."


    The cavalry, dressed in black robes and official hats, rushed straight to the gate of the county government.


    People standing in the way in front of us, get out of the way one after another.The soldiers of the Ma family also had to get out of the way.


    It is well known that the royal guards are a team under Liu Xiu. It''s just that the royal guards are very mysterious and rarely handle cases. I didn''t expect that this time, the royal guards were dispatched.


    March stood outside the gate of the Yamen with a serious expression and a dignified look in his eyes. His two sons are under Liu Xiu''s command and know about the royal guards.


    Deng Zhan, the leader of the royal guards, was Liu Xiu''s confidant.


    Now that the royal guards are out, it means that Liu Xiu has stepped in to deal with this matter.


    Qiu trace''s eyes fell on the royal guards, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes. To some extent, what the royal guards are responsible for is the sword hanging on the top of the officials. Now that the royal guards are coming, Qiu Chen is also a little nervous.


    Speaking late, then fast, for a moment, the royal guards stopped at the gate.


    The leader turned over and got off the horse and said, "I''m Fu Bing. I''m the captain of the royal guards. I''ve been ordered to come."


    "I''ve seen captain Fu!"


    Qiu Chen and March saluted at the same time.


    Fu Bing turned his eyes and asked, "who is March?"


    "I am!"


    March stood up and saluted.


    Pay handle facial expressionless, say directly: "come person, take away."


    When the royal guards came forward, the soldiers of the Ma family rushed up to resist. But Ma Qi waved his hand to let the Ma family back down and asked, "what''s the meaning of Fu Xiaowei?"


    Fu Bing replied, "we are just carrying out the order to take you to Xiangyang."


    After hearing this, March sighed in his heart.


    "Ha ha ha..."


    With his hands on his back, Qiu Chen said in a loud voice, "March, do you hear me? Mr. Zhou Mu is still on my side. Although you are the head of the Ma family, even if you are the father of Ma Liang and Ma Su, the governor of the state will deal with it impartially. "


    "Hum!"


    As soon as March''s big sleeve brushed, he said, "don''t be proud of Qiu trace."


    Qiu Chen said, "no matter what, you are defeated!"


    Fu Bing sneered twice and asked, "are you Qiu Chen, magistrate of Yicheng County?"


    Qiu Chen said, "it''s the next officer."


    In front of Fu Bing, Qiu Chen can''t lift the official airs. After all, the royal guards in front of him are Liu Xiu''s confidants.


    Pay handle to wave a hand way: "take away!"


    In an instant, two royal guards went up and clamped the handle.


    Qiu Chen was stunned, with an incredible expression on his face, and asked, "what''s Fu Xiaowei doing? I''m the magistrate of Yicheng County. You can''t arrest me. "


    Fu Bing said coldly, "the royal guards only obey the orders of the governor. Who dare not catch them?"


    In a word, Qiu Chen was stunned.


    "Ha ha ha..."


    March laughed and said, "magistrate Qiu, just now you mocked me. Now, are you similar to me? I''m just an introduction, but you are the magistrate of Yicheng County. This time, I was caught with you. It''s really a light on my face. "


    The corner of Qiu''s mouth twitched and roared, "shut up


    "Shut up


    Fu Bing glared at Jo, then looked at March and said, "shut up, too."


    March thought for a moment and said, "Captain Fu, can I arrange a few words to avoid conflicts among the people of the Ma family?"


    "Yes


    Fu Bing nodded, agreed with March''s practice, and appreciated it.


    March looked at the people of the Ma family and ordered: "all return to the Ma family and no one is allowed to use force. During the time when I didn''t come back, everyone stayed at Ma''s house and was not allowed to overstep. Those who violate the order will be expelled from the Ma family. "


    In a word, the people of the Ma family all nodded.


    Fu Bing looks at the people under his command and orders the royal guards to demobilize the officers and soldiers who surround the Ma family. Then he takes Qiu hen and Ma Qi out of Yicheng County and runs to Xiangyang County.

 Chapter 493

    Xiangyang, the gate of the city.


    A group of people and horses came running. This group of people and horses were the people of the royal guards.


    "When the royal guards are in charge of affairs, they will retreat."


    Fu Bing and the royal guards are on their way, galloping all the way to the gate of Xiangyang City. Accompanied by Yicheng County Magistrate Qiu Chen and Ma Qi, they were escorted to Xiangyang.


    After entering the city, Fu Bing took people straight to the royal guards'' Yamen.


    After Yicheng County Magistrate and March arrived, they were directly put into custody by Deng Zhan.


    The news spread quickly.


    No matter the officials of poor families or the people of noble families, they are all shocked when they get the news, because it is really strange that Liu Xiu should take down both sides of the people.


    Kuai''s, hall.


    Jingzhou all over the aristocratic family gathered here, all with indignant look.


    Ma Quan, Ma Qi''s eldest son, took the lead in saying: "Mr. Kuai, let''s not say what Liu Jingzhou did to my father. Qiu Chen, the magistrate of Yicheng County, did more to my father and the Ma family. Please mediate today. The Kuai family is a prominent family in Jingzhou. Once the Ma family falls, I''m afraid the Kuai family will not be far behind. "


    Kuai Liang said, "Bo Chang, brother Ma, I will do my best."


    "Master Kuai, I don''t think the current situation is a matter of trying our best. It''s a matter of the present. We have to work out the difference. If the aristocratic family shows weakness in this matter, the officials from poor families will gain an inch. At that time, how can our families still have a foothold in Jingzhou? "


    The head of the Xi family spoke, and he was not angry with the officials who came from poor families.


    In fact, all the great families have been targeted.


    The rest of the family members spoke one after another. They all rightfully accused the officials of being reckless.


    The hall is like a vegetable market.


    Kuai Liang listened to the voice of all the people''s arguments and said, "enough!"


    With a loud drink, the hall suddenly quieted down.


    Kuai Liang looked at the others and said, "please don''t be impatient. This matter will be decided by our Lord. Now the Lord just detained March, and has not given a clear conclusion yet. Even if we want to talk about it, we have to wait for the outcome before we can deal with it, right? "


    Hearing this, everyone frowned and was dissatisfied with Kuai Liang''s reply.


    Kuai Liang got up and said, "I''ll go to the prefecture to see the Lord right away. You''re all gone."


    "See off!"


    As soon as Kuai Liang waved his hand, his servants began to drive people out.


    A burst of noise rang out, the people of the major families were not satisfied, and they didn''t approve of Kuai Liang''s decision, but they had no choice but to retreat.


    "Alas..."


    Kuai Liang sighed. After thinking about it, he changed his clothes and went to the prefecture.


    When Kuai Liang got out of the carriage, he met Yi Ji.


    Kuai Liang arched his hand and said, "Uncle Ji, what''s the matter with you


    Yi Ji said, "if zirou wants to find the Lord, I''ll find him."


    As soon as Kuai Liang picked his eyebrows, he immediately understood and said, "have you been found by the poor officials in all counties?"


    Yi Ji said: "although I didn''t visit in person, it''s almost the same. The news that Qiu trace was brought back to prison spread out, and the officials of various counties made a statement one after another, all of which were bitter about the malpractice of the aristocratic family. Now, they are all clamoring to punish March severely and release Qiu Chen


    Kuai Liang heard the speech, expression helpless way: "Jingzhou aristocratic family is also a swarm of found me, let me advise the Lord."


    Yi Ji said: "let''s go. The Lord has personally asked about this matter. I think the Lord will have a way to deal with it."


    Two people entered the mansion, under the guidance of the attendant, went straight to the study.


    "See you, Lord!"


    Kuai Liang and Yi Ji salute.


    "Sit down!"


    Liu Xiu waved his hand with a smile on his face: "what''s the matter with you two coming together?"


    Yi Ji said: "what else can happen? Naturally, it''s the fight between the poor family and the aristocratic family. The Lord has arrested Qiu Chen and Ma Qi. Now the officials from poor families have been transferred one after another, asking the Lord to release Qiu Chen and severely punish the Ma family. "


    Kuai Liang took the words and said, "Ma BoChang, the eldest son of Ma Qi, and people from all the great families in Jingzhou have also come to the humble family and asked them to speak for them."


    Liu Xiu couldn''t help laughing when he heard the speech.


    Yi Ji said: "Lord, at this time, can you still laugh? Now it''s burning. "


    Liu Xiu said: "I laugh at the poor family and the aristocratic family. Before that, the poor family pushed Qiu Chen out and the aristocratic family pushed march out. Now, you two have become representatives of each other. Poor families and aristocratic families are really good at selecting people. "


    Kuai Liang said quickly, "I''m a humble servant. I''m not a poor family or a noble family."


    Yi Ji said: "the same is true of humble position."Liu Xiu said, "I believe you."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "you two don''t have to worry, since you have become the contact people. Then go down and send a message to them. I''ll hear about Qiu hen and March. The poor officials involved were temporarily transferred back to Xiangyang to deal with the matter. The families involved can also gather in Xiangyang to see the results. "


    Kuai Liang and Ma Qi nodded, and they had a bottom in their heart.


    Liu Xiu''s public trial in person clearly has the answer.


    After Kuai Liang and Yi Ji left, they soon conveyed the news.


    For a moment, the news of crouching March and Qiu Chen came out. This situation, completely detonated the public opinion of Jingzhou, all people talk about things are poor and aristocratic struggle.


    In just a few days, people came and went in Xiangyang.


    The aristocratic families of all counties and counties are quarreling with Xiangyang one after another. They all want to listen to it in person.


    Officials from poor families in various counties are also here.


    There is only one purpose for all people to come together, and they all care about their own interests. This public trial must involve the interests of both sides, so neither side should be careless.


    When the public opinion becomes more and more popular, the royal guards under Deng Zhan are running.


    Search for information all the time.


    Deng Zhan summed up the news of each room, including officials from poor families and families. In the process of verification, he did find that some people contacted Cao Cao and Sun Quan.


    All the people are clearly marked by Deng Zhan.


    On this day, Deng Zhan went to the Prefecture in a hurry.


    When he came to the mansion, he saw Liu Xiu in his study and said, "my Lord, I''ve already verified my humble position."


    With these words, Deng Zhan took out a book and handed it to Liu Xiu''s desk.


    After Liu Xiu opened it, he scanned it roughly, and found out everything about the poor family and the aristocratic family in the books. Not only that, but also all the families associated with Sun Quan and Cao Cao were clearly marked.


    Liu Xiu put down his book and said, "Deng Zhan, the royal guards have done a good job this time. The next task is to bow to March and Jo. You arrange for the royal guards to choose an open place in the north of the city and build a high platform as a place for public trial. "


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan bowed his hand.


    After a pause, Deng Zhan asked, "Lord, when is the time for the public trial?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "three days later, it''s midnight."


    Deng Zhan also said, "what about the officials who participated?"


    Liu Xiu thought for a moment, and said: "officials at the county level in Xiangyang need to attend. Other counties and counties will give different notices. As for the county magistrates who have come back from all over the country, they must also participate in it. "


    "Yes


    Deng Zhan knew the situation and bowed down.


    At this time, Deng Zhan''s heart is hot, because the royal guards are busy.


    The busier you are, the more important the royal guards are.


    Three days later, the news of the public trial of March and Qiu Chen spread quickly. No matter the officials and nobles, or the peddlers and pawns, they are all talking about what the final result of the public trial will be?


    March is not guilty, that is, Qiu hen is guilty, which means that the poor will be suppressed.


    Qiu hen is innocent, that is, March is guilty, which means that his family is declining.


    The conflict between the two forces attracted people''s expectation.


    In three days, it''s here in a flash.


    On this day, the sky is clear and the wind is smooth.


    The location of the public trial of March and Qiu has already gathered countless people. In addition, the people of the major families, as well as the poor officials of the counties and counties, have also arrived, waiting for Liu Xiu''s public trial.

 Chapter 494

    "Here comes Liu Jingzhou!"


    A shout came from a distance.


    In an instant, everyone''s expression was solemn, waiting quietly.


    The soldiers opened the way, and Liu Xiu soon came to the throne.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes swept over the countless people gathered below, as well as the major families and officials, with a smile on his lips. It''s really gratifying that all these people are here.


    The more people there are, the better the effect can be achieved.


    Liu xiulang said in a voice, "come on, bring Qiu Chen and march up."


    "Yes


    The soldier got the order and went down immediately. Not long after, Joaquin and March were brought out.


    They stood under the stage, bending over.


    Both of them were well dressed and without shackles. Although they were detained, they did not receive any criminal law. This situation also makes people around feel relieved.


    "See you, my Lord!"


    Jo and March saluted at the same time.


    Liu xiudao: "no gift!"


    As soon as the words changed, Liu Xiu said, "what kind of conflicts do you have between the two of you? Let''s try our best. I''ll make the decision for you."


    In a word, it opened up the trouble.


    Qiu Chen took the lead in saying: "the elder is the most respected, and the master of the Ma family will invite you first."


    "You''re welcome," said March


    At this time, among the people watching around, the officials of the poor family all nodded slightly to what Qiu Chen had done, with a look of appreciation on their faces. It is reasonable for Qiu Chen to let March speak first and say that the elderly are respected.


    Ma Qi said: "I will tell you that Ma''s family abides by the law and discipline in Yicheng County, but the magistrate of Qiu county insists on targeting Ma''s family and saying that Ma''s family has taken advantage of it. This is clearly a frame up. Not only that, for the sake of investigation, the magistrate of Qiu county blocked the shops of Ma family. One or two days later, after ten and a half days of plugging, how can the shops of the Ma family survive? What''s the reputation of the Ma family? The Ma family is also a big family with a head and a face. What face does the Ma family have to stand on when it''s spread


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu''s eyes twinkled, but he didn''t express his opinion.


    Immediately, Liu xiudao said, "is master Ma''s words over?"


    "That''s it!"


    March bowed to answer.


    Liu Xiu looked at Qiu Chen and said, "magistrate Qiu, now it''s your turn to speak."


    Qiu Chen said: "tell me, my Lord, there are three reasons why my humble position blocked Ma''s shop. First, the grain sold by Ma''s shops was shoddy; second, Ma''s shops used the influence of Ma''s family to suppress other merchants, extort and annex other shops; third, Ma''s shops concealed the population. If you get the news, you should check it. However, in the investigation, the Ma family refused to cooperate. Under such circumstances, the humble officers dispatched troops to surround the Ma family. But I didn''t expect that Ma Qi was bold enough to mobilize the private soldiers of the Ma family to kill them, and then surrounded the county government. "


    What he said was reasonable and clear-cut, and Qiu Chen even despised March''s words.


    The Ma family wanted to fight with him. It was self humiliating.


    After listening to their opinions, Liu Xiu still didn''t say what he thought, but looked at Ma Qi again: "master Ma, what do you want to say about Qiu county magistrate?"


    "Not true!"


    March didn''t even think about it, so he refused.


    He would not admit such slander.


    March then said, "the first point about Qiu county magistrate is that the grain of the Ma family is shoddy. On this point, I want to clarify that this kind of grain is common in the market, and the price is the same as the market price. Is this the case? How can we replace inferior products with good ones. Second, the Ma family has always been fair and just and never bullied anyone. Third, the population of the Ma family is all slaves bought by the government, and there are refugees everywhere in troubled times. The Ma family''s acceptance of refugees is to relieve the pressure of the government. This is a good deed. "


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "Qiu Chen, what do you have to say?"


    In March''s mind, however, he felt that the situation was not good.


    There seems to be something wrong.


    Liu Xiu kept asking them, but didn''t give a clear answer. It''s really weird. Ma Qi couldn''t figure out Liu Xiu''s ideas, but he had to deal with the changes with constancy.


    However, Qiu Chen has a different idea. He is loyal to Liu Xiu, and the suppression of his aristocratic family is also for the sake of Jingzhou. Therefore, Qiu Chen is quite confident, and says in a loud voice: "my Lord, what march said seems reasonable, but it''s actually sophistry. The so-called market price is set by March and the shops of other aristocratic families. What can the common people do? The horse family is fair and just. It''s a joke. Where the people of the Ma family go is not high spirited. Since you want to relieve the pressure on the government, why don''t you set up a porridge awning so that the refugees can live in peace, and then settle down in Yicheng County? On the contrary, you take the opportunity to make a lot of money. "


    The language of both sides is more and more sharp, and the language is more and more intense.


    Liu Xiu listened without any worry.


    Look, as always calm.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes turned to March, and without saying anything, March understood.At this time, the faces of the people around, the heads of the great families, and the officials of the poor families all looked puzzled. Liu Xiu has not said a word until now, just let Qiu Chen and March argue constantly, the situation is really strange.


    Maggie continued: "my Lord, as the saying goes, if you want to catch a thief, you can''t slander the horse family in empty words. Otherwise, Jingzhou will not be in chaos. At least, Jo has to bring out the evidence. "


    Up to now, March didn''t speak at all and let Qiu Chen give the evidence directly.


    The Ma family has not left any evidence before. March believes that Qiu Chen can''t get the evidence, otherwise Qiu Chen won''t surround the Ma family, but he doesn''t move.


    Liu Xiu looked at Qiu Chen again and waited quietly.


    Qiu Chen said: "my Lord, the reason why I didn''t find any evidence is because the Ma family refused to investigate. Despicable sent people to surround the Ma family, but they were resisted by the Ma family. That''s why we can''t get evidence. "


    For the Ma family, although Qiu Chen got the news, he didn''t have the final evidence, which is also the most headache. Otherwise, he would have won the Ma family by thunder.


    March said, "what resistance? Hum, if you bring people here in a fierce manner, how can the Ma family let you do anything about it? "


    Up to now, Qiu Chen has gradually shown a decadent momentum.


    The situation is gradually favorable to him.


    There was a winning smile in the corner of March''s mouth. His two sons are both highly valued by Liu Xiu. Under such circumstances, the Ma family plays an important role under Liu Xiu''s command. He believes that Liu Xiu will not and can''t target the Ma family.


    Qiu Chen frowned and said, "my Lord, as long as you let the lower officials thoroughly investigate, there will be something wrong with the Ma family."


    As soon as these words came out, Qiu Chen had already lost a chip.


    There was a look of anxiety in the eyes of the poor officials around. In the eyes of the major families, the victory is in hand. As for the people watching, most of them are watching the opera. They don''t have any opinions at all. They just watch the excitement.


    Liu Xiu stared at them and said, "the debate between you two has begun to take shape. Now, it''s up to me to deal with it. "


    "Deng Zhan, bring people up."


    Liu Xiu directly ordered that Deng Zhan escorted a middle-aged man up.


    When Qiu Chen saw this man, his face suddenly changed.


    It''s no one else. It''s his staff, song Chan. Now Liu Xiu sent someone to bring his aide song Chan up, and Qiu Chen had a bad feeling in his heart.


    Is the adult on the side of the aristocratic family?


    Qiu Chen''s heart began to sink to the bottom. He thought he was loyal to Liu Xiu and thought about Jingzhou everywhere. But now Liu Xiu''s practice has disappointed Qiu Chen.


    Lost!


    In Qiu Chen''s heart, he made such a decision.


    March looked in his eyes. He glanced at the family around him, with a faint smile on his face. Judging from Liu Xiu''s actions, he really won this time.


    Soon after, song Chan came to the stage and stood still, kneeling on the ground.


    Song Chan arched his hand and said, "Cao min, song Chan, meet you."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "get up and talk."


    "No!"


    Song Chan stood up and stood with his hands down.


    Liu Xiu stares at Song Chan and says coldly, "you are Qiu Chen''s staff. The Ma family accuses Qiu Chen of having no evidence to slander him. What do you say? And you are Qiu Chen''s staff. Do you know that Qiu Chen oppressed the Ma family? "


    Song Chan replied: "in reply, it is true that the magistrate of Qiu county suppressed the Ma family. But Ma''s bullying and dominating the market does exist. It''s just that the Ma family resisted the government''s investigation that no evidence was found. "


    "Oh, are you sure?"


    The corner of Liu Xiu''s mouth rose slightly, and there was already a touch of cool tone.

 Chapter 495

    Song Chan said: "the villain is sure."


    Liu Xiu asked, "is there any evidence?"


    Song Chan said: "the magistrate of Qiu county once told villains that aristocratic family is the factor influencing the stability of Jingzhou. Because countless people of insight can not exist. Therefore, the magistrate of Qiu county suppressed the Ma family everywhere. For example, Qiu Shihui paid more attention to taxation. For example, Zheng Ding is more strict with his family And so on, there are countless


    After hearing this, Qiu Chen burst into a rage and said, "Song Chan, I treat you well. Why do you slander me so much? I have always been fair and just in my work. When is the time to be strict with my family? "


    In front of countless people, Qiu Chen was unwilling to admit it.


    I''m kidding. Once you admit it, it''s a real failure. No matter Qiu Chen himself or the poor officials behind him, he would not allow himself to be called a family oppressor.


    Liu Xiu looked in his eyes and said, "Song Chan, did you hear what Qiu county magistrate said? Without evidence, that''s slander. You are also the one who follows Qiu Chen. You are familiar with the law and discipline. You should understand this truth. "


    Song Chan said: "villain dare not slander Qiu county magistrate, villain has evidence."


    With these words, song Chan took out an account book from his sleeve.


    "My Lord, this is the account book of county magistrate Qiu, which records in detail the money that county magistrate Qiu received and the crackdown on the Ma family."


    Song Chan held the account book in his hands and looked respectful.


    Qiu Chen picked up his eyebrows and said angrily, "Song Chan, you are an unfamiliar white eyed wolf."


    A heart, has gradually sink down.


    He relied on Song Chan and regarded song Chan as his confidant. Unexpectedly, song Chan treated him like this.


    Around the poor officials, one by one look at Song Chan, eyes with a strong sense of killing. Qiu Chen was pushed out, and that was their representative. Although it was the fight between Qiu Chen and the Ma family, it was already a fight between the poor family and the aristocratic family. But now, song Chan is on the side of the aristocratic family, which is hateful.


    Ma BoChang and his family all had a smile on their faces.


    The Ma family is Liu Xiu''s important family, and the rest of the Kuai family, Huang family, Pang family are also aristocratic families. Under such circumstances, who else does Liu Xiu support if he does not support the aristocratic family?


    Liu Xiu took over the account book from the soldiers and checked it carefully.


    The look on his face is still Gujing bubo.


    "Look at what you''ve done, Jo."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes suddenly turned cold. With a wave of his big hand, he threw the account book directly in front of Qiu Chen.


    After picking it up, Qiu Chen took a close look.


    At that moment, Qiu Chen''s body was shaking, and his eyes were black.


    When Qiu Chen looks at Song Chan, he is very angry. He did not expect that this account book is like a diary, which records in detail what he did to the Ma family and even the family of Yicheng County on a certain day and a certain month of a certain year.


    Under such circumstances, Qiu Chen has been unable to argue.


    The evidence is solid!


    Qiu''s heart was like ashes, but he looked up at Liu Xiu and said in a loud voice, "my Lord, I don''t want to say anything about my humble position."


    "Say it


    Liu Xiu didn''t stop him, so he let Qiu Chen speak directly.


    Qiu Chen stopped his waist and said in a loud voice: "although the aristocratic family has made great contributions to Jingzhou. But now, the aristocratic family has long been the gangrene of bones, the biggest disaster in Jingzhou. In the view of humble position, there are four major sins in the aristocratic family. "


    "Oh, what four sins."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes came to interest and asked.


    Everything is under Liu Xiu''s control.


    Now, Qiu Chen suddenly put forward the four crimes of his family, which made Liu Xiu curious.


    However, March said in a loud voice, "my Lord, Qiu Chen''s words can''t be trusted. Qiu Chen is such a corrupt and lax law enforcer. What he said is not credible at all. "


    "Shut up


    Liu Xiu eyes a cold, direct way: "my official let you speak?"


    Brush!


    March''s face suddenly changed.


    It''s weird!


    Ma Qi felt incredible in his heart. Liu Xiu was still on the side of the aristocratic family just now. Now the words front a turn, so of scold him, completely seem to stand in the cold door side.


    For a moment, Ma Qi couldn''t figure out what Liu Xiu thought.


    If you look at me and I look at you, there is a touch of worry in your eyes.


    Qiu Chen said: "the first sin of a family is to have a family before a country. The word "country" has always been "country before home". If there is no country, how can there be a home? "? This is the reason why there is no skin and no hair


    "However, the aristocratic family takes the family first."


    "In the past, Jingzhou''s clansmen were rampant. Wasn''t it caused by Jingzhou''s aristocratic families?"


    "At that time, because of the confusion of officials in Jingzhou, officials were unable to preside over government affairs, and clans were rampant everywhere. What do these people bring? It brings chaos to Jingzhou. ""Everything is because Liu Biao, the first leader, came to Jingzhou, which brought order out of chaos and stabilized the situation."


    "But, the aristocratic family does not get rid of, Jingzhou always exists temptation."


    With a look of resentment in his eyes, Qiu Chen said: "the aristocratic family is such a person who only cares about one''s own interests and ignores the overall situation. Such a family has now begun to hinder the development of Jingzhou. In the future, it will hinder the development of Jingzhou. "


    March immediately to: "a bunch of nonsense!"


    For Qiu Chen''s words, March resolutely refused to admit it.


    It is true that the aristocratic family always has a family first and then a country, but March will not admit it.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Ma Qi. The coldness in his eyes made Ma Qi feel cold. In a flash, March stopped talking. Although he is the father of Ma Liang and Ma Su, he angers Liu Xiu and has no good fruit to eat.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Qiu Shi and said, "go on!"


    Once these words came out, the aristocratic family was in a downturn. On the contrary, the morale of the poor scholars was greatly boosted.


    Here''s the chance!


    One by one looking forward to Qiu trace, hope that Qiu trace can turn the tide.


    Qiu Chen was more confident at this time. He looked calm and said slowly: "the second crime of aristocratic family is to hoard land. In the old days, when he was the magistrate of Changsha County, he reclaimed farmland and mountains, and reclaimed countless good farmland. "


    "But in fact, is the farmland not enough for the people?"


    "No, the land is in the hands of the aristocratic family."


    "If people want to cultivate and get a better harvest, they can only reclaim the land."


    Qiu Chen continued: "if the land of the aristocratic family is taken out, will there be such things? None of them. Because the land in Jingzhou now is enough to support the people in Jingzhou. But Jingzhou is constantly reclaiming land, but it''s not enough. What''s the reason for that? "


    "The reason is very simple, the aristocratic family has been constantly annexing the land."


    "Compared with the common people, the aristocratic family is powerful and powerful. It is easy for such a family to seize the farmland in the hands of the common people. So no matter how much land is reclaimed, the people''s land is not enough. "


    "This is the second crime of the aristocratic family," said Qiu with a serious expression


    WOW!


    Around the high platform, there was an uproar.


    Everyone in the aristocratic family had a black face, with a dignified expression.


    But in the eyes of the countless people around, there was a look of approval. Because the farmland that many people cultivated was their own at the beginning, but later, it gradually did not belong to them.


    For example, in the simplest case, there is a lack of money for three diseases and two pains in people''s families, but there is not enough money, so they can only borrow money from rich families. With this loan, his land was lost.


    All kinds of means make the common people become the people who rent the land.


    Seeing the resonance of the people around him, Qiu Chen had a smile on his mouth and a look of confidence on his face. Once there is the support of the people, Liu Xiu can''t punish him.


    However, it was impossible for March to admit it. He said flatly, "my Lord, Qiu Chen''s words are all empty words and slanders. Don''t believe that. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said: "I see the expressions of the people around me, they are all in agreement. It seems that they are all like this when they lose their land. "


    One word pushed march back.


    He didn''t expect that Qiu Chen''s mouth was so powerful.

 Chapter 496

    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Qiu again and said, "go on!"


    "Yes


    Qiu Chen arched his hand and gave a salute, and his mood was completely stabilized.


    Calm down!


    Confidence!


    This is the psychological state of Qiu hen at this time.


    Qiu hen talked about two major crimes in succession, which not only aroused the common people''s sympathy, but also aroused the support of countless poor scholars. Most importantly, he believed that what he said had already reached Liu Xiu''s heart, so he became more and more calm.


    Qiu Chen''s eyes were very serious, and his expression became more and more intense. He said in a loud voice: "the third crime of a family is to keep private soldiers and hide the population. The reason why they are called aristocratic families is that they have enough power and money from generation to generation. But to keep money and power, no one can do it. The private soldiers of aristocratic families are the most important guarantee. Besides, there are countless people in the aristocratic family. "


    "A family with soldiers and people, money and food."


    "To a certain extent, the aristocratic family is already a country in the country, a thorn in Jingzhou."


    Qiu Chen looked at March and other aristocratic families, with a look of resentment on his face. He said in a loud voice, "if there is no aristocratic family, there will be more people in Jingzhou and Jiaozhou."


    "With these people, Jingzhou''s strength can go up to a new level."


    "First, with soldiers and soldiers who can serve, Jingzhou''s strength will increase greatly. Second, tax increases. When people cultivate their land, they will naturally pay taxes to the government. "


    Qiu Chen said in an impassioned voice: "the tenancy of one person and one land is not worth mentioning, but the common saying of Jingzhou people is that the trees in the arms of one person and one land are born at the end, and the platform of nine floors starts from the earth. The tax paid by countless people is a huge income for Jingzhou. "


    "If this income is used to build roads, or to build hospitals, schools and so on, it will have a huge impact."


    "Year after year, year after year, great changes have naturally taken place."


    Qiu Chen looked around at the aristocratic families around him and said, "aristocratic families are like gangrene attached to bones. How can we revive Jingzhou, how can we make Jingzhou rise, how can we make adults prosper Hanshi and compete in the world?"


    Impassioned words reverberate around.


    Qiu Chen is like a guide, who tells about the harm of his family and makes countless people applaud him.


    "County magistrate Qiu said well that if there was no aristocratic family, our people in Jingzhou would not be exploited. At the beginning, the governor of Zhou Mu didn''t take charge of Jingzhou. That''s a very high rent. He just had to make a living after paying the rent


    "The aristocratic family should be destroyed. If the aristocratic family is not destroyed, Jingzhou will not be strong."


    "It''s time for those old men of noble families to be cleaned up. They keep them. That''s the harm to Jingzhou. These people must be cleaned up. "


    The common people are excited and surging.


    At this time, the situation is gradually out of control.


    The poor scholar looked in his eyes, and there were smiles on the faces of the officials. The reason is very simple, because once the public anger occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable, which is not what Liu Xiu wants to see.


    In order to conform to public opinion, Liu Xiu should also stand on the side of the people.


    The poor scholar looked at Qiu Chen with admiration in his eyes.


    At the beginning of the public trial, the situation was unfavorable to Qiu Chen. Unexpectedly, Qiu Chen threw out the four major crimes of his family. When he mentioned the fourth major crime, the situation had been reversed. It was really fierce.


    Countless eyes fell on Liu Xiu, waiting for him to speak.


    In his eyes, Liu Xiu not only had no pressure in his heart, but also had a smile on his face.


    This is the purpose of the public trial.


    The reason why Liu Xiuzhi chose the public trial is to attract the attention of countless people and let them participate in it. Now that the common people have entered the state, it is much easier for Liu Xiu to operate.


    As for the situation at the scene, Liu Xiugen was not worried.


    Everything is under his control.


    Liu Xiu looked at the people around him, raised his hand and pressed it down to signal the people to be quiet.


    "Silence


    Huang Hu stood under the high platform and suddenly opened his mouth.


    "Silence


    "Silence


    The soldiers of the flying tiger camp and the royal guards were all cold. The expression on each face is full of murderous. This magnificent voice sounded. In a flash, the people around, the scholars and the aristocratic families seemed to be attacked by the murderous spirit. They felt a chill all over.


    Countless people were quiet in an instant.


    Everyone, no more talking.


    Around the high platform, it soon quieted down.


    Liu Xiu looked at the people around him and said in a deep voice: "everyone, I will definitely give you a fair answer. A good man will not be wronged, but a bad man will never be let go. Therefore, please believe my judgment. Please be quiet and watch the public trial continue. "


    Liu Xiu looked at Qiu Chen and said, "go on!""Yes


    Qiu Chen bowed his hand with a solemn expression.


    Ma Qi was in a low mood, but after all, he was a man who had gone through the wind and rain. He had lived most of his life, and he was not easy to be with. Qiu Chen began to attack the aristocratic family, he wanted to save the situation for the aristocratic family, but also to fight back against the poor.


    Qiu Chen said: "the fourth crime of aristocratic family is to prevent the state from abusing talents."


    Talent selection is talent selection.


    Qiu hen mentioned that he was a scholar, and his face was very solemn.


    In his view, the biggest sin is to obstruct the country from taking the imperial examination. Countless poor scholars, because there is no way to go, no book to read, will have ambition can not extend.


    Qiu Chen was a little excited and said in a loud voice: "a country, a place, a state, a county, a city and a pool, if you want to be prosperous for a long time, you can''t do without talents. Talent is needed to govern internal affairs, March and fight, and everywhere. "


    "However, the aristocratic family hoarded books and only allowed them to read."


    "If the people of the aristocratic family study, then the officialdom is full of the people of the aristocratic family, that is, the officials protect each other."


    "It is so-called that there are people in the court who like to be officials, and they have become members of aristocratic families in the officialdom. So it''s very difficult for people from a family to get into it. And it''s more difficult for a poor scholar to get ahead than to ascend to heaven. "


    Qiu Chen''s eyes were sharp, and he said in a loud voice, "it''s because you''re a scholar that you''ve got a chance for me and other poor scholars."


    "For us, whether it''s a county or a sesame sized official, we all regard it as a treasure and do our best to do it well."


    "But the aristocratic family is different. The magistrate is too small, and the prefect can''t do it."


    "In the end, it''s a vegetarian meal."


    "Not all of them, of course," said Qiu. Humble position is just a general description, not a person who knocked over a boat with one stroke. If you want to suppress the aristocratic family, you want to let countless poor aristocrats come out. "


    Speaking of this, Qiu trace has shown his mind of suppressing the aristocratic family. He said four major crimes. If he doesn''t show his intention to suppress the aristocratic family, who is willing to believe it?


    After hearing this, March''s expression was slightly dignified, but his eyes were full of fighting spirit.


    If the aristocratic family is guilty, is there no poor family?


    Everybody, that''s all.


    Ma Qi is not incompetent either. He is talented enough to teach such excellent sons as Chu MALIANG and Ma Su, but most of his reputation has been covered up by several sons.


    March stepped forward, arched his hand and said, "my Lord, the magistrate of Qiu county said that there are four major crimes in my family. I don''t agree with him. In my opinion, my family has three major contributions, and officials in poor families have four major crimes. "


    As soon as this remark came out, it suddenly aroused the discussion of countless people.


    Countless people retorted, one by one looking at March''s expression, are very contemptuous.


    Qiu Chen''s words have moved them. Under the influence of Qiu Chen, the common people all resent the aristocratic family and think that the aristocratic family is their enemy.


    After hearing what march said, the poor scholar felt that it was a bunch of nonsense.


    Therefore, the situation is noisy.


    Ma BoChang and other aristocratic families listened to Qiu Chen''s words, but one by one, like beating a chicken''s blood, they all kept tit for tat with poor officials.


    In his eyes, Liu Xiu was laughing.


    Good!


    That''s what he''s looking forward to.


    The purpose of Liu Xiu''s public trial was to deal with the contradiction between the aristocratic family and the poor family. Now, the more arguments, the more debates, the more conducive to Liu Xiu''s handling.

 Chapter 497

    Liu Xiu raised his hand and pressed it down to signal the people to be quiet.


    With Liu Xiu''s action, people around the high platform all shut up and stopped talking.


    Liu Xiu looked around at everyone and said in a loud voice: "just now Qiu Chen talked about the four major crimes of the aristocratic family. He didn''t mention other things of the aristocratic family. At least after hearing this, I was quite moved and felt that there was a certain truth. But you can''t just listen to one side''s opinions. It''s just the saying that if you listen to both sides, you''ll be wise, and if you believe something, you''ll be dark. So you have to listen to what march says


    At this point, Liu Xiu suddenly made a pause.


    Eyes, but also sharp.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes swept over the people below, and each of them was awed by Liu Xiu''s dignity. They were all holding their breath, waiting for Liu Xiu to speak.


    A moment later, Liu Xiu said, "I hope you don''t interrupt me when Maggie is talking. Otherwise, don''t blame me for being rude. Master Ma, let''s go. "


    "No!"


    March bows and stands on his side.


    In this way, he faced Liu Xiu and gave him enough respect. At the same time, he faced the poor and the common people.


    March''s hands were originally hanging in front of him. He raised his right hand, raised his right index finger, and said in a loud voice, "my family is the best, benefiting countless people. In the past, there were four yellow scarf thieves and bandits. Countless people were caught in the flames of war, and countless people were displaced. "


    "In times of crisis, who took in the people?"


    "When the war broke out, the aristocratic family had to live and take refuge. When we are all in trouble, we still give you a glimmer of hope that you can have a ration to eat. Although you can''t have enough food and clothing, at least you won''t starve to death. "


    On the wrinkled face of March, with a look of nostalgia, he said: "if it wasn''t for the aristocratic family, would Jingzhou have the present Jingzhou? No, it can''t be


    As soon as the words came out, many people on the scene were silent.


    It is true that the aristocratic family exploited the common people and collected heavy rent, which made it difficult for many people to be rich.


    But at least, people will not starve to death.


    This is the most basic guarantee.


    Marcy''s words have a certain bewitching nature. He glanced at the people around him, and then continued: "the poor scholars have also experienced these hardships. How many of you have encountered difficulties because of the help of the aristocratic family and the help of the aristocratic family, so that you can survive the hardships and achieve today''s success. But now, what have you done? "


    Qiu Chen looked scornfully and said, "even if you have an inch of merit, that''s not the reason why you can exploit the people all the time. When you give a mouthful of food in a time of crisis, you let the people be your slaves all their lives. That''s a good deal. You gave the people a mouthful of grain, but the people gave you more than that. "


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Qiu Chen, it''s time for March to speak."


    In a word, it implies a warning.


    Liu Xiu continued: "March, go on!"


    For March''s support, people on the family side see hope again.


    Ma BoChang stood at the bottom with a dignified expression, because he saw that Liu Xiu supported both the aristocratic family and the poor family, as if both sides supported him. Ma Bo Chang always felt that something was wrong, but he could not think of a single ugly Yin Mao. He could only blame Liu Xiu for being a state herdsman, and he had to keep a bowl of water level.


    With a pile of whiskers under his jaw, March said in a loud voice: "the second contribution of the aristocratic family is to stabilize the situation in Jingzhou. In the past, Jingzhou''s bandits made trouble. These bandits were all gathered by the vagrants in the countryside. They occupied Jingzhou under the guise of stabilizing the situation. "


    "When Liu Biao arrived, Jingzhou was in chaos."


    "Liu Biao has no right to fight without soldiers. It is impossible to solve the situation of Jingzhou sect thieves."


    Ma Qi said: "at the critical moment, it is the Kuai family headed by Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, the Pang family headed by Pang Ji, and the Cai family headed by Cai Mao who stand up and help Liu Biao to stabilize the situation."


    "It was led by the Kuai, Pang and Cai families that the Huang and Ma families responded one after another."


    "Only in this way can we have the stability of Jingzhou."


    March zhengse said: "without the help of the aristocratic family, can Jingzhou have the stability for more than ten years? impossible. Can Jingzhou resist the attack of Jiangdong sun? No way. "


    "Jingzhou is unstable, and the people can''t live as they are now."


    "Jingzhou is in turmoil. I''m afraid many of the officials from poor families who are here are already dead."


    Ma Qi seems to be very upright, because when Liu Biao was in charge of Jingzhou, it was the Jingzhou family that helped him to achieve the present situation, otherwise Jingzhou would not have been stable for more than ten years.


    This remark was praised by the family.


    One by one, they all think that March said it well.


    After listening to this, many people''s faces also showed a little emotional expression. The common people are simple and honest. Although they are suppressed, they are also simple and kind. They listened to March''s words and thought it was true.


    Qiu Chen frowned and looked solemn.


    In Qiu Chen''s view, March is completely changing the concept, completely generalizing, and deceiving the people. Although the aristocratic family has made contributions, the purpose of the aristocratic family is never to stabilize the situation, never for the people, but for their own interests. Because of helping Liu Biao, the aristocratic family could govern Jingzhou with Liu Biao, so the aristocratic family was willing to take action.But Liu Xiu didn''t allow him to retort, and Qiu Chen could only press down in his heart and didn''t speak for the time being. Liu Xiu is very satisfied with March''s words. When March said that, he brought back the declining situation of his family.


    Liu Xiu was about 20 years old when he was in charge of Jingzhou, but he was old enough.


    Liu Xiu knew that in this era, aristocratic families could not be eliminated.


    After the elimination of the Cai family, there will be the Li family, the Yang family, and so on. As long as there are officials, it is impossible to break up. It is just the alternation of the old and the new families.


    Therefore, Liu Xiu''s public trial is to balance this matter, let the poor family come out, and let the aristocratic family be a little restrained.


    Finally, a relatively balanced situation will be achieved.


    Liu Xiu said, "master Ma, go on."


    March chin slightly up, Lang said: "the family of merit, for the country recommend talent. No matter the Kuai family, the destroyed Cai family, the Pang family and the Huang family, they all recommended countless talents for Jingzhou. It is precisely because of these talents that Jingzhou can stabilize and achieve today''s achievements. "


    "Without a family, can Jingzhou resist the attack of Jiangdong?"


    "Without a family, can Jingzhou resist Liu Bei''s invasion?"


    "Without a family, can Jingzhou resist the invasion of Cao Cao?"


    Ma Qi raised his head and said in a loud voice: "to some extent, the peace in Jingzhou is also the result of the efforts of the aristocratic family. It''s just that you poor officials don''t know about it. It''s just that the common people only see the results. "


    With these words, the poor officials sneer, the people around are silent, and the aristocratic families are proud.


    Liu Xiu listened in the ear, but in the heart is light smile.


    What a Maggie. Sure enough, Jiang is old and spicy. He can take all the credit. Sure enough, he has a thick skin.


    Liu Xiu was looking forward to Ma Qi talking about the crimes of poor family. He said in a deep voice: "the three contributions of Ma''s family leader are very interesting. Next, let''s talk about the four crimes of poor family officials."


    "Yes


    After hearing this, March nodded.


    In his heart, he already had a complete draft.


    Qiu Chen belittles the aristocratic family to nothing. He wants to use his eloquence to make the poor people no longer have a foothold and no face to see them.


    March''s eyes were burning at the officials of poor families. He said in a loud voice: "the officials of poor families are guilty of ingratitude."


    Brush!


    Countless officials from poor families were angry.


    For a scholar, reputation is sometimes more important than life. If it''s a simple slander, it''s all right. But ingratitude is already involved in the moral character of a scholar.


    However, March looked calm. He was not worried at all. He said slowly, "listen to me carefully. There are two reasons why I say that poor officials are ungrateful."


    There are two reasons. The expressions on Qiu Chen''s and other officials'' faces are ugly.


    One by one, the eyes are angry.


    Ungrateful, there are two reasons, this is simply slapping their face ah. Everyone stares at March. If that look could be used as a knife, I''m afraid March would have been killed.

 Chapter 498

    Countless eyes fell on March, but he was still calm.


    He is the head of the family and a former official. Facing the poor officials and the common people, March is not afraid at all, but rather calm.


    The more so, the more calm he was.


    Facing everyone, March said in a loud voice: "the first reason for ingratitude is to let Liu Jingzhou down."


    Boom!


    March''s words are like lightning strikes on the hearts of poor officials.


    It''s not polite to say that Liu Xiu is the benefactor of all poor officials. Without Liu Xiu, all poor officials would not have achieved what they have achieved today.


    Now when Ma Qi talks to Liu Xiu, the poor officials can''t sit still.


    Qiu Chen arched his hand to Liu Xiu and said, "my Lord, even if you want to punish me, I will say a few words. How can our officials from poor families be ungrateful when they are always thinking of repaying their elders for their kindness? If March can''t give a reason, Qiu Chen will fight with March even if he doesn''t want to die. "


    Liu Xiu looked at Ma Qi and said, "what does Ma Jia Zhu say?"


    Liu Xiu was also quite surprised by the argument put forward by Ma Qi.


    Because Liu Xiu is the biggest supporter of poor officials. Now Ma Qi has moved Liu Xiu out. If the entry point is appropriate, it can really play the role of counterattack.


    With a little smile, March said: "Mr. Zhou mu, I said that the poor scholar was ungrateful and failed to live up to your expectations. It''s because once they have gained power, they have long forgotten their original intention and the best reward for Zhou Mu is to make the people peaceful, rich and able to live and work in peace and contentment. "


    "But what did these poor officials do after they took office? The main thing is the struggle, the struggle against the aristocratic family, and the people who beat down the aristocratic family have no political achievements


    "Take Qiu Chen for example. After he took office in Yicheng County, will the grain output of Yicheng County increase? Can the number of people increase? Crime can be reduced. "


    March''s eyes twinkled, and he said, "I think that''s the standard to measure an official."


    "Everything, talk about achievements."


    "What''s the use of just yelling at who I''m loyal to all day without political achievements? The people did not get the slightest benefit. The best reward for Zhou Mu is to show his achievements. "


    The corner of March''s mouth showed disdain and said, "but what about Qiu Chen? It''s no use staring at my Ma family. It''s a disaster. "


    Qiu Chen''s face suddenly turned pale.


    In fact, he knew that March''s words were sophistry, but he could not refute them. Because after he took office, what he considered was that the Ma family had become a roadblock for the development of Yicheng County. He planned to remove the Ma family, but his achievements in other aspects were insufficient.


    Jo took a deep breath to calm down and not be disturbed.


    Liu Xiu said in secret: "what a Maggie. He deserves to be an old fox."


    Liu Xiu also admired the judgment and the breakthrough point that Ma Qi put forward.


    Liu Xiu said, "what''s the second reason why Ma Jiazhu thinks he is ungrateful?"


    With a calm look and a smile, March said, "the second reason for the ungrateful officials of poor families is that they always aim at the aristocratic families and want to get rid of them


    When the poor officials heard this, they all looked contemptuous.


    The aristocratic family is the source of Jingzhou''s development, and it is natural to deal with it.


    Now March said that the poor family was against the aristocratic family. That''s revenge. It''s a joke.


    March glanced at the people around him. His big sleeve suddenly swung up and shook in the air. Then he put his hands behind him and raised his voice and said, "I have just talked about how many officials from poor families who were in trouble, when they were about to starve, it was the aristocratic family that saved you from starvation."


    "The aristocratic family has saved you. They don''t ask for anything in return. They don''t ask for much kindness from you. But at least, you shouldn''t turn the other way. "


    "It''s really chilling of you to do so."


    March said: "you tax the aristocratic family separately. You check the aristocratic family every three or five times and make trouble for the aristocratic family. But do you remember the kindness of the past


    In a word, March occupies the commanding height of morality.


    This refutation, March can be said to occupy the advantage, found a very favorable point.


    After hearing this, the rest of the aristocratic family were better.


    That''s very nice.


    On the contrary, officials from poor families were filled with righteous indignation, and their faces were not satisfied.


    Qiu Chen scolded Maggie for his cunning. He said, "the master of the Ma family is a good talker. Unfortunately, I don''t remember the family''s kindness to us. Since the aristocratic family is so capable, how could you not be seen in the past when the thieves were in chaos? When yellow scarves were rampant in the past years, how could you not be seen? "


    "When Liu Biao arrived in Jingzhou, you came out one by one.""Why? Because you want to get benefits from the former Lord. The reason why we are able to achieve our present achievements is not because of your family, but because of Liu Biao, our former leader, and because of the present governor. "


    Qiu trace sharp counterattack way: "oneself wear high hat for oneself, really don''t feel ashamed."


    In an instant, these words were echoed by countless officials from poor families.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu also agrees with Qiu Chen''s retort, and this counterattack is also selected. He raised his hand to signal the crowd to be quiet. Then he looked at March and said, "master Ma, the first crime of poor officials has been finished. Go on."


    Maggie nodded slightly and looked at the scar, but he was afraid.


    Because the first crime he carefully prepared was easily resolved by Qiu Chen, and even reversed, which made him fall into a rather embarrassing situation.


    This time, March won''t let Qiu Chen retort easily.


    March''s eyes were deep and he said, "the second crime of a poor official is to do anything to achieve his goal."


    This crime puzzled people. In order to achieve the goal by all means, under different circumstances, there are naturally different views, which can be derogatory or commendatory, depending on what to say.


    Liu Xiu said, "master Ma, please elaborate."


    March nodded and said, "it''s the so-called state-owned law, family rules. Since poor officials are officials in Jingzhou, they should act according to the rules of officials. However, Qiu Chen, even the humble officials in Jingzhou, regarded the laws and disciplines of Jingzhou as nothing and trampled on them wantonly. Are such officials competent? "


    A rhetorical question made Qiu Chen frown. He didn''t even ask Maggie how unscrupulous he was, because when he asked, it just led to Maggie''s next words.

 Chapter 499

    Qiu had a feeling of being calculated. He scolded the old fox in his heart.


    In front of him was an old fox.


    Qiu Chen doesn''t pay attention to Ma Qi, but Ma Qi won''t let him go. Ma Qi turns to Liu Xiu and opens his voice: "my Lord, when Qiu Chen was a county magistrate, in order to force the Ma family, he did everything to achieve his goal."


    "In order to deal with the Ma family, he once sent someone to sneak into the Ma family and try to steal the Ma family''s account books."


    "In order to deal with the Ma family, he once seized the relatives of the servants of the Ma family and threatened them."


    "In order to deal with the Ma family, he once invited Laojiu to the county government and threatened him."


    "There are countless of them."


    Madge was very angry, and his speech was even more cadenced. He said: "these things are easy, and the means to deal with the Ma family are the most crazy. In order to deal with the famous families in Yicheng County, he once set an example to those in Yicheng County


    In March''s mouth, Qiu Chen is a man who does everything to achieve his goal.


    Such a person is a villain.


    With March''s mouth, when the people around him looked at Qiu, they already had a suspicious look in their eyes. Is it worthwhile to believe that a county magistrate who has been constantly entrapping others by all means in order to achieve his goal?


    Even, is the words before Qiu Chen true?


    Doubt!


    In the hearts of the common people, such an idea came into being.


    Qiu hen secretly scolds Maggie for being vicious, but he slanders him so much. This is still a partial generalization of March''s method, which is clearly used to frame him, because many of the things he said are false.


    March looked at the reaction of the people around him, and the poor officials were like frosted eggplant, with a smile on his lips.


    Fight with me, you are still young.


    The expression on March''s face is Gujing bubo. Just as he plans to continue talking, he listens to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said, "Qiu Chen, what do you have to say about this?"


    Brush!


    March''s face was slightly moved.


    In the public trial, Liu Xiu generally forbids the other party to speak, but this time Liu Xiu interrupts him on his own initiative, which is clearly not to let him beat the water dog and defeat Qiu hen.


    What is Liu Xiu''s abacus?


    In March''s heart, such an idea suddenly appeared.


    A little bit of worry came out of March''s mind.


    It''s just that March can''t understand it for the moment, especially when it''s the key time to fight with Qiu Chen. He can''t distract himself from thinking about other things, and he has to deal with Qiu Chen constantly.


    At this moment, Qiu Chen''s spirit was boosted by Liu Xiu''s words.


    Liu Xiu is still on the cold side.


    This is what Qiu Chen thought.


    In front of all the people, Qiu Chen cheered up and said slowly, "I''ll tell you, what march said is not true. Of course, the humble had sent people into the Ma family, intending to inquire about the news of the Ma family, which exists. As for threatening the family members of the servants of the Ma family, it''s just taking them back for investigation. "


    "Why do you do that?"


    "First of all, I received a report that the Ma family executed the tenant farmers without authorization. At the same time, the Ma family has been involved in things such as driving up prices, so I sent someone to ask Ma Qi to cooperate with the investigation. "


    With a helpless look on his face, Qiu said: "however, when March arrived at the county government, he was arrogant and refused to cooperate with the investigation. Once the county government officers want to enter the Majia, they are all blocked. "


    "March threatened that he had two sons, Ma Liang and Ma Su, who both held important posts under the command of the adults."


    "If the subordinate moves the Ma family, Ma Liang and Ma Su will not let him go."


    "But I think of your kindness and the ambition I set up at the beginning of taking office. I don''t fear the threat of March, so I will send someone to investigate."


    "This kind of investigation is the most normal thing. What can we do by any means?"


    In front of countless people, Qiu Chen continued to say: "as for the rest of the elites who were exterminated, these elites were all involved in homicide and crime."


    "There is a record of every matter and every matter dealt with by the lower officials."


    "If I have wronged any noble family and any common people because I have dealt with the aristocratic family, then I am willing to be punished by God, to be struck by thunder, and to die by ten thousand arrows."


    Qiu Chen pointed his hand to the sky and said solemnly, "if I have wronged any noble family, after my death, the men will be slaves and the women will be prostitutes."


    WOW!


    There was an uproar around the platform.


    All the people who heard it changed color.


    Men are slaves and women prostitutes from generation to generation.


    Such an oath is extremely vicious.


    In this era, swearing is a very serious thing. No one dares to make fun of the swearing, but Qiu''s ability to make fun of her daughter shows her heart.After listening to Qiu Chen''s words, countless people subconsciously chose to believe Qiu Chen.


    Whatever else, because of the vows made by Qiu hen.


    The poor official looked at Qiu Chen with admiration and approval in his eyes. Sure enough, he was the magistrate of Yicheng County. Qiu Chen''s move was brilliant, and instantly saved the people''s hearts.


    A man of noble family has a dignified face. Because of Qiu''s words, the situation was reversed in an instant. Under such circumstances, the people no longer believe March''s words.


    In his heart, Maggie secretly scolded Qiu Chen for his shameless use of such means.


    In his eyes, Liu Xiu praised Qiu''s means, because Qiu''s oath was very interesting.


    In the oath, he said that if he wronged any noble family.


    Just think about it. There are a lot of people in the family. As the saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. There are fights in the aristocratic families. There are a lot of dirty things, and there are not a few cases of committing crimes.


    Qiu trace starts against the aristocratic families, but every aristocratic family''s buttocks are not clean.


    Under such circumstances, Qiu Chen''s vows are not affected.


    Because, Qiu Chen did not wronged the aristocratic family.


    Liu Xiu is not interested in breaking through Qiu Chen''s tricks, because he just doesn''t want Qiu Chen to lose. Now, Qiu Chen''s stick to fight, let March''s words in vain, make the situation back.


    Liu Xiu looked at Ma Qi and said, "master Ma, go on!"


    "Yes


    Maggie''s mouth twitched slightly, saying in his heart that Liu Xiu was too eccentric.


    It''s just that March can''t say it.


    March looked calm. He took a deep breath and continued: "if I want to talk about the third crime of poor officials, I will be headstrong, self righteous and divorced from reality."


    Qiu hen said coldly: "the charge given by Ma Jiazhu is really strange."


    Liu xiudao: "Qiu Chen, take care of your mouth."


    A word top go back, Qiu trace immediately Leng for a while, don''t understand Liu Xiu how again aim at him.


    Just now, no, it was fine.


    Now, how suddenly changed.


    In Qiu Chen''s eyes, Liu Xiugang just stood on his side, is a camp, how Liu Xiu suddenly deal with him? Qiu Chen couldn''t understand it. He was even more confused, but he had to stand aside.


    In his heart, March gloated, secretly scolded Qiu Chen for being a fool, and forgot when he was satisfied.


    Ma Qi said: "Mr. Zhou mu, I think it''s reasonable for poor officials to be headstrong, self righteous and divorced from reality. On the one hand, because they have suffered a lot since childhood, they hope that the suffering they have received will no longer fall on the ordinary people. "


    "but as like as two peas in the world, there are two identical individuals. This is simply unrealistic."


    "Nothing can be generalized."


    "I''ll give you a simple example. When Qiu Chen was young, because he couldn''t afford to teach in a private school and couldn''t find a teacher to teach, he forced the teacher to teach at a low price or even free of charge," March said


    "But in fact, you have to give the Confucian students a way to live."


    "You can''t blame other people for not being able to read."


    "For this matter, I once went to the county government to find magistrate Qiu, but magistrate Qiu was determined to go his own way. He said that it was unconscionable for scholars to accept students'' money. You said, "how can a Confucian teach when he can''t eat enough and has no money to live?"


    March looked contemptuous and said, "as for being divorced from reality, it''s even more so. Qiu county magistrate always takes it for granted to get along with some tricks, saying that how much should the people''s per mu yield be increased? He kept tossing, but in the end? The people don''t pay for the land and the people don''t pay for the land. On the contrary, the people are tossing about. Instead of increasing production, they are reducing production. "


    There was a look of disdain on March''s face.


    For Qiu Chen''s ruling ability, March also disagrees.


    After hearing this, Qiu Chen scolds Maggie for being shameless. His starting point is good, but after every decree is passed on, the aristocratic families always interfere with it, and finally lead to a mess.


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "master Ma, what about the fourth crime?"


    March replied: "I tell you that the fourth crime of poor officials is corruption in their lives."


    Liu Xiumei picks his head and looks forward to it.


    Officials from poor families were selected by him through the imperial examination. The purpose was to give officials from poor families a chance to rise. Now Maggie has a life of corruption, Liu Xiu''s heart immediately in the heart.


    But Qiu''s brow was wrinkled, and there was a look of fear in his eyes.


    What will march say about his fourth point?


    The other officials of the poor family also had a serious look on their faces.


    March glanced at the expression of Qiu Chen and other poor officials, sneered in his heart, and his face showed a look of potential. What he said about corruption in life is the result of his investigation. This result is not like the suspicion of fabricating things before, and the last crime really exists.

 Chapter 500

    Ma Qi looked serious and said in a deep voice: "before Qiu Chen was the magistrate of Yicheng County, he was once as poor as a child. Lao Jiu has sent people to check that Qiu Chen is a poor family, and there is even a family that is hungry and cold. "


    "Because the governor of zhoumu had a chance to become the magistrate of Yicheng County."


    "But after he became magistrate?"


    "Sing every day and roll the sheets every night."


    In front of countless people, March said in a loud voice: "before Qiu hen was the magistrate, there was no woman. Now, there are nine women in his Yamen. "


    "Besides, I heard that Qiu Chen must have a chicken and a duck on his daily meal."


    "Chickens only eat chicken legs and wings, ducks only eat duck legs and wings, and the rest is poured out and fed to dogs."


    "A person who had been suffering for a long time, after gaining power, could not suppress his inflated emotion, so he degenerated completely. Is a person who constantly recruits women and lives in corruption a good official?


    March looked at the people around him and said in a loud voice, "is such an official trustworthy?"


    It was like a sharp sword penetrating into Qiu hen''s heart.


    March asked, staring at Qiu Chen, and continued: "I''ll ask you another question. Can I support nine women with the salary of a county magistrate? Can I have chicken, duck and fish for every meal? If Qiu Chen hadn''t been greedy for ink and had not filled his own pockets, could he have such a luxurious life? "


    Boom!


    The words ignited the words of countless families.


    One by one, they were all talking about Qiu Chen''s life.


    People around originally believed in Qiu Chen, but now after listening to March''s words, they immediately changed their mind. The people sympathize with the weak, but they hate the rich even more. Qiu Chen became the target.


    Once upon a time, like the common people, Qiu Chen lived a hard life.


    Now, Qiu Chen has so many women and supports legs and wings. Such a luxurious life makes countless people angry.


    For a moment, countless people changed their minds and denounced Qiu Chen one after another.


    At the moment, Qiu scar is like a mouse crossing the street.


    The corner of their mouth twitches. When they look at Qiu, they hate iron but not steel. When they look at March, their eyes are murderous.


    In fact, an official has more or less money.


    Now, March came straight out.


    In an instant, the fur mark was pushed into the bottom.


    Qiu Chen''s face was livid, his expression was embarrassed, and his eyes even showed a look of despair. He didn''t expect that March would choose such a thing as a breakthrough and exposed it on the spot.


    This situation, this scene, this matter a say, instantly hit Qiu trace dust. Qiu Chen knew that he would never get up again, because things in life were real, not nothing.


    His life is really corrupt.


    There are nine of his women.


    His food is so luxurious.


    When such a thing came out, Qiu was defeated, but there was a look of madness in his eyes. Even if the dust is knocked down, it can''t make the aristocratic family better, and it can''t make the aristocratic family arrogant.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Qiu Chen and said, "what do you have to say?"


    Qiu Chen fell down on his knees with a plop. He knelt down on the ground and said, "humble job pleads guilty. Humble job really lives corrupt. If you want to be punished, you are willing to be punished. However, there is a word in humble position. Please give me some time to say it. "


    "Say it


    Liu Xiu didn''t stop him and gave Qiu Chen the chance.


    Qiu Chen stares at March and says: "the trouble of the aristocratic family is the biggest influence of the adult''s competition in the world. If you want to open up the foundation of all ages and establish the peace of all ages, the aristocratic family will never exist. Although they are corrupt, they are always conscientious and never slack off. "


    Liu xiudao: "have you finished?"


    Qiu Chen said, "I haven''t finished yet. There''s one more thing."


    "Say it


    Liu Xiu brushed his sleeves.


    Qiu Chen said: "the nine women who are humble in Yicheng County are all mandarin ducks and dew. They are just power sex relations, which are not worth mentioning. The lower officer begged the adults to give the family''s only old father a pension, because he raised him in a humble position. "


    For his own situation, Qiu Chen had expected.


    Even if Liu Xiu didn''t kill him, could the poor officials behind him tolerate him?


    If we can''t, we''ll die.


    It''s better to die in Liu Xiu''s hands.


    Liu Xiu obviously understood the meaning of Qiu Chen. He was slightly stunned. He didn''t expect that Qiu Chen was asking for death.


    At the beginning of Liu Xiu''s plan, Liu Xiu intended to depose Qiu Chen and never employ him.


    However, Qiu Chen wanted to die.


    Liu Xiu glanced at the look of the poor officials, and found that when they looked at Qiu, they already hated iron but did not make steel, and there was a look of disdain in their eyes.In an instant, Liu Xiu understood.


    Abandoned son!


    Qiu Chen, who failed, is an abandoned son.


    Under such circumstances, even if Qiu Chen was alive, his life was not like death.


    So, Qiu Chen chose to die.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes twinkled with a ray of light. After thinking for a moment, he had made a decision and solemnly said: "Qiu Chen listens to the order."


    "I will obey the orders in my humble position!"


    Qiu Chen fell down on the ground, his eyes became calm as never before.


    At this moment, he recalled what he had done in Yicheng County, and many things passed through in his mind, but his heart was extremely calm. For the suppression of the aristocratic family, everywhere for the Ma family, Qiu trace thought now also do not regret. The only regret is that I didn''t manage myself well and I didn''t control my private life well.


    Dead or not!


    In Qiu Chen''s heart, Gujing bubo.


    Liu Xiu stares at Qiu Chen and says in a loud voice: "when Qiu Chen was the magistrate of Yicheng County, he accepted bribes, embezzled money, perverted the law, and beheaded himself to the public."


    "Somebody


    Liu Xiu gave the order directly, and a executioner came up with a knife in his hand.


    After the executioner was in place, the knife in his hand had been raised.


    "Chop!"


    Liu Xiu gave the order with a deep look in his eyes.


    "Whew!"


    Blade in the air across, Puchi a neatly cut down. As soon as the blade fell, Qiu''s head was already rolling down, and a shed of blood splashed out, splashing on the ground, leaving a pool of blood.


    The body fell, and the executioner bowed and retired.


    After Qiu Chen was killed, the officials of the poor family were in a state of mourning. One by one, they were all withered. Their brows were tight and wrinkled. There was no excitement on their faces any more. On the contrary, their expressions were heavy.


    Lost!


    They lost to the aristocratic family!


    At this time, the aristocratic family members were excited, but they were very happy.


    Jo was killed, which means they won.


    Liu Xiu looked at the scar on the ground, and then said in a loud voice, "where is Deng Zhan?"


    "I''m in a humble position!"


    Deng Zhan stepped forward with a solemn expression. At this time, Deng Zhan was also very excited. Because Qiu Chen was killed, but Qiu Chen''s affairs will never settle down. There must be follow-up treatment.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "in view of Qiu Chen''s case, you will lead the royal guards to thoroughly investigate the officials of Jingzhou counties. If there are people who violate the law and discipline, corrupt and pervert the law, they will be arrested and interrogated first."


    "I''ll do it


    Deng zhande ordered him to retreat respectfully.


    At this time, the faces of the poor officials were even more bitter. I didn''t expect that Liu Xiu directly affected all the officials through Qiu Chen''s affairs, so that they would certainly fall into it.


    The rest of the family were dignified. Because there are many officials in the aristocratic family. Now Liu Xiu''s order has affected all the officials, so that everyone has been implicated.


    Deng Zhan retreated, Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Ma Qi and said faintly: "Ma Qi, as the head of the Ma family. In this case, although Qiu Chen is corrupt and perverts the law, the Ma family is also involved. "


    After hearing this, March''s face suddenly changed.


    The Ma family will be punished.


    This is not what a winner should get!


    Looking at Liu Xiu, March suddenly thinks of Liu Xiu''s constant balance before, either asking him to refute Qiu Chen, or asking Qiu Chen to refute him, so that the situation will not be one-sided, but waiting until the end to let Qiu Chen lose.


    Suddenly, March understood.


    Liu Xiu''s plan is to crack down on both sides of the family. On the one hand, it is to suppress the expanding mind and corrupt life of poor officials, on the other hand, it is to suppress the expanding aristocratic family.


    Big winner!


    Liu Xiu is the biggest winner.


    Maggie''s mouth twitched, but he sighed slightly: "there''s something wrong with the Ma family. Please come down."

 Chapter 501

    For Liu Xiu, March can only be described as resourceful.


    The first time I met Liu Xiu, it was because Pang Tong accidentally killed him. Then when Liu Xiu was released as an official, he went through Yicheng County, so Ma Liang worked for Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu showed enough strategy in both meetings.


    This time, after thinking in his heart, March understood Liu Xiu''s intention.


    All these are guided by Liu Xiu.


    In other words, it can also be said that Liu Xiu already knew about Qiu Chen and Ma''s family. With the help of this conflict, Liu Xiu sets a trap for him and Qiu Chen to fight each other, and even involves the contradiction between the poor family and the aristocratic family.


    In particular, the issue of public trial triggered a conflict.


    Sophistication!


    At this time, March''s heart only thought of this word to describe Liu Xiu.


    After knowing Liu Xiu''s calculation, March didn''t intend to resist any more, because it was meaningless to resist Liu Xiu again. Liu Xiu is already planning completely, and at this stage, it is impossible for him to have another accident.


    Liu Xiu was a little surprised to see March one eye, heart said March''s reaction is very fast.


    Even let the punishment!


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "the Ma family obstructed the government''s handling of the case, and mobilized private soldiers to confront the government. Although there were no casualties, their feelings were unforgivable and they could not set a precedent. My official has limited you to disband private soldiers within one month, and report all the unreported population concealed by the Ma family. Otherwise, there will be no amnesty. "


    March arched his hand and said, "yes, the grassroots obey."


    For Liu Xiu''s arrangement, March did not refuse, but agreed directly. He promised now, and he will follow the order when he goes back. This time he lost, making the Ma family suffered losses, but his two sons are still under Liu Xiu''s command, which is enough.


    With Ma Liang and Ma Su, the Ma family will not fall.


    After March retreated, Liu Xiu ordered: "Kuai Liang, listen to the order!"


    "I''m in a humble position!"


    Kuai Liang stepped forward and saluted.


    Liu Shidao ordered that the population of each Jingzhou county should be investigated for three months. However, all concealment of the unreported population must be verified. In the whole area of Jingzhou, a new census of the population will be conducted and all reports will be submitted. "


    Census, of course, is to grasp the situation of the major families.


    Then, the right medicine can be applied.


    This goal itself is Liu Xiu''s consideration.


    Knowing the population controlled by each family, and then according to the situation of each family, weakening the private forces of each family is Liu Xiu''s fundamental purpose.


    Kuai Liang looks bitter. It''s a hard job.


    Whatever you do, it''s offensive.


    In particular, Kuai Liang himself is a member of the Kuai family, which in itself offends others, and it is quite difficult for him to do so. At that time, it will be inside and outside.


    But Liu Xiu gave the order, and Kuai Liang had to answer: "humble duty, obey me!"


    Liu Xiu heard the speech and nodded slightly.


    What Liu Xiu worried most was that Kuai Liang would have conflicts at this time. Once Kuai Liang had conflicts, things would easily get out of control. Now that Kuai Liang has taken over this matter, it will be much more convenient for him to operate it.


    At this moment, the faces of the aristocratic families standing under the stage were quite embarrassed.


    I thought that they would benefit from the killing of Qiu Chen.


    But in the end, they also suffered.


    The reason why the aristocratic family is called the aristocratic family is, on the one hand, the inside information of the aristocratic family, on the other hand, the hidden power of the aristocratic family. Now Liu Xiu wants to census the population and register all the people, so the aristocratic family is naked naked in front of Liu Xiu.


    However, in Xiangyang, the base camp, they can not resist.


    One by one, they had to answer and bear the bitter fruit in silence.


    When the affairs of Qiu Chen and the Ma family are dealt with, the poor family and the aristocratic family are suppressed, and Liu Xiu''s goal is achieved. He dismissed the people directly. He asked people to clean up Qiu Chen''s body, and then he took the team back to the Yamen.


    In the yamen, Deng Zhan has been busy.


    Liu Xiu invited Kuai Liang.


    Kuai Liang sat down in his study, looking bitter, and said: "Lord, we should thoroughly investigate the population of Jingzhou aristocratic family. I''m afraid it will be quite difficult to do this. You''re putting your humble position on the fire. "


    Liu xiudao: "I believe you can finish it, and only by doing so can you suppress the aristocratic family a little. After all, it''s impossible for me to support my family. "


    "No!"


    Kuai Liang nodded.


    Kuai Liang said: "Lord, it involves the Pang family and the Huang family, both of which are Jingzhou people. Look, can you say hello to Mr. Pang and Mr. Huang in advance? "


    Liu Xiu is Huang Chengyan''s son-in-law and a disciple of Pang Degong.


    As long as Liu Xiu said hello, the Pang family and the Huang family''s affairs would be all right.


    In this way, the next thing for Kuai Liang is easy.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "OK, I''ll arrange it. Don''t worry about it. ""Thank you, Lord."


    Kuai Liang''s mouth also brought up a smile.


    The Kuai family has his own arrangement. Naturally, the Kuai family can carry it out easily, but the Huang family and the Pang family are different. Now it''s much easier for Liu Xiu to operate the census.


    After Kuai Liang left, Liu Xiu sent for Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan.


    Seeing them, Liu Xiu said, "teacher, father-in-law, this time I invite you two to come. I have something to ask for."


    "It''s about census," said Mr. pound


    "Yes, teacher."


    Liu Xiu laughed. In front of Mr. pound, he couldn''t lift his dignity. As a teacher and father, pound helped him a lot.


    Mr. pound shrugged his shoulders and said, "I''m on your boat. What else can I do? Naturally, I can only follow you. I will arrange this matter. "


    "Thank you, teacher."


    A touch of warmth rose in Liu Xiu''s heart.


    Huang Chengyan said, "my son-in-law, although the Huang family is a big family, it''s mainly commercial and not an ordinary family. If you want to have a thorough investigation, you can stand it. I will arrange it properly. "


    Liu xiudao: "thank you, father-in-law."


    With the promise of Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan, Liu Xiu was relieved.


    Pound is fair: "Jixu, the census population is relatively speaking, it has not yet moved the strength of the aristocratic family. I suggest that your actions to the aristocratic family should stop here. "


    "Why?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Pang Degong replied: "Jingzhou is firmly under your control. Naturally, Jingzhou''s aristocratic family can''t afford to turn over the waves. But once it comes out of Jingzhou? What about Jiangdong, Yizhou and Northern States? At that time, when you lead the troops to attack, you will not only meet Cao Cao and Sun Quan, but also meet the desperate resistance of the aristocratic family, because you are the enemy of the aristocratic family. "


    "Hiss!"


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he suddenly took a cold breath.


    This time, Liu Xiu only focused on suppressing the poor family and the aristocratic family, but he forgot this.


    If Liu Xiu really wants to completely suppress the aristocratic family, or further weaken the aristocratic family. At that time, Liu Xiu will become the public enemy of the aristocratic family.


    It will have a great influence on Liu Xiu''s future.


    Liu Xiu nodded solemnly: "thank you, teacher. I understand. Kuai Liang will arrange the census. As for the next action, I will not arrange it any more. "


    Pound stroked his beard under his jaw, his face relaxed, and he had a smile on his face.


    If Liu Xiu could listen, he would not worry.


    Pound said: "I seldom come here. I have to have a good look at the little guy this time." Today, pound is very busy with the Academy. He is very busy. He seldom comes here. Naturally, he wants to see Liu Zhen.


    Huang Chengyan also had a smile on his face and said, "I have to go to see my good grandson. Oh, I miss him very much because I haven''t seen him these days."


    After they left Liu Xiu''s study, they went to the back yard.


    Liu Xiu naturally had to accompany him. He followed them and went to the backyard. Children grow very fast, can be said to be one day, and then see the meat Du Du Liu Zhen, everyone is very happy.

 Chapter 502

    Xiangyang City, west of the city.


    In an ordinary house, there are a pair of people in black on patrol. These people in black, each with a cold face and sharp eyes, are brave and sharp dead men.


    There are four middle-aged people sitting in the hall.


    The leader is a middle-aged man in his early 40s.


    This man''s appearance is somewhat similar to Cai Mao''s.


    His name is Cai Zheng, the elder brother of CAI Mao. In the past, after Cai maomou was killed, the Cai family was wiped out overnight. But Cai Zheng was not in the Cai family at that time, so he escaped.


    After returning to Xiangyang, Cai Zheng went into anonymity, and then quietly gathered the scattered people of the Cai family.


    Today, Cai Zheng has gathered some people around him.


    There are nearly a thousand private soldiers under his command.


    But these 1000 people are not gathered together, but scattered in various shops.


    At the bottom of the hall, there were three people who were in charge.


    All three of them are from the Cai family.


    According to their age, they are Cai Yan, Cai Yu and Cai Feng.


    Cai Zheng looked at the three men and said: "originally, Liu Xiuding settled Jingzhou and seized Jiaozhou. His power was growing stronger and stronger day by day. In my lifetime, I was desperate and had no intention of revenge. Now, however, Liu Xiu has killed himself. He wants to census the population and investigate the details of Jingzhou''s major families. This is an opportunity. "


    When Cai Feng was in his early 30s, his eyes narrowed and his eyes twinkled with coldness. He said, "brother, this is a rare opportunity. It''s a pity if you miss it. So I''m in favor of doing it this time. "


    "How to do it?"


    Cai Yu looks thin and scholarly.


    Among them, Cai Yu is the thinnest, but he has a heavy weight in his speech, because he is the military adviser among the four. Most of the problems are solved by Cai Yu.


    Cai Yan said: "we can naturally succeed by directly uniting people from different families."


    Cai Yu said, "what if the union fails and the defendant is sent out instead?"


    Cai Zheng said, "third brother, what should you do this time?"


    Cai Zheng also has a lot of trust in Cai Yu. With the help of Cai Yu, Cai Zheng was able to win over the scattered people of the Cai family with his own prestige.


    After listening, Cai Yu was silent.


    It''s half a sound. I didn''t speak.


    Cai Zheng, Cai Yan and Cai Feng were all waiting quietly, not in a hurry.


    After nearly a quarter of an hour, Cai Yucai raised his eyes and habitually took a cup of tea from the desk. This action made Cai Zheng and other people''s eyes bright. Every time Cai Yu thought clearly, he habitually drank tea.


    Obviously, Cai Yu has a plan.


    Cai Zheng asked, "third brother, what do you say to do?"


    Cai Yu groped for the teacup and said slowly, "if you want to kill Liu Xiu, you have to start from the most critical place. This time, we will unite the pangs and the Huangs. "


    "Ah


    After hearing this, Cai Feng couldn''t help exclaiming: "third brother, the Pang family and the Huang family are Liu Xiu''s confidants."


    "Wrong!"


    Cai Yu shook his head and said, "it''s Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan. They are Liu Xiu''s confidants."


    Cai Zheng said: "third brother, don''t play tricks, just say it."


    Cai Yu said slowly: "it is unrealistic to contact the Kuai family, because in the process of Liu Xiu''s rise, Kuai Liang became Liu Xiu''s confidant, and Kuai Yue became the prefect of Wuling county. It can be said that the Kuai family made a lot of money. This time Liu Xiu wants to check the population of the aristocratic family, and the Kuai family will cooperate even if they are angry. "


    "The situation of Pang family and Huang family is very different."


    "On the way to Liu Xiu''s rise, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan gave Liu Xiu all kinds of support, and Pang family and Huang family gave too much to Liu Xiu. But on the other hand, what did the pangs and Huangs get? It''s only Pang Tong who serves as a military adviser. The rest is not worth mentioning. "


    Cai Yu looked confident and said: "last time Liu Xiu set up examination questions to attract talents. With the help of Pang family and Huang family, the assessment went smoothly."


    "The establishment of lumen Academy was promoted by Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan."


    "With the establishment of lumen academy, Liu Xiu has gained countless benefits, but what about the Pang family and the Huang family? On the one hand, it was resisted by the aristocratic family. On the other hand, it was a loss business. It paid too much but didn''t get any


    Cai Yuding said: "Pang Degong selflessly supports Liu Xiu, but the pangs don''t think so. The people of Pang family need interests and get enough benefits. However, this time Liu Xiu did a census of the population, and he made another dent in the Pang family. "


    "Today''s Pang family has accumulated enough anger."


    "It only needs a fuse to ignite the anger of the Pang family and make them rebel against Liu Xiu."


    Cai Yu laughed and said, "what we need to do now is to light this fuse and then contact the Pang family. The same is true for the Huang family. Brother, I think about the next plan like this £¬¡±The whole plan is told by Cai Yu.


    Detailed plans, all of them.


    After hearing this, Cai Zheng had a bright smile on his face. The wrinkles on his face were all stretched out. He said with a smile, "there is a third younger brother''s advice. This time we will win against Liu Xiu."


    With a serious look on his face, Cai Yu said: "such a thing can only be done once, only winning is allowed, not losing. If we fail, we will be exposed. In the search of the royal guards under Liu Xiu, it will be quite difficult for us to hide. "


    Cai Zheng said, "don''t worry, third brother. I''ll arrange this properly. We have a lot of patience. We''ve been waiting for such a long time. Are we still in a hurry? "


    Cai Yu nodded. He was afraid that Cai Zheng would upset his plan.


    ¡­¡­


    Pang family, residence.


    Pang Degong sat high above, while Pang Tong and Pang Lin sat at the bottom.


    In addition, there are also the principal members of each branch of the Pang family.


    Pang Degong looked at everyone. At this time, one of the pangs'' personal expressions was quite dignified. Everyone has heard about the need to thoroughly investigate the population. For a family, it''s just like cutting meat.


    The more people there are hidden, the less taxes the aristocratic family can pay.


    Once all the statistics are clear, the burden of the aristocratic family will be heavier, so the Pang family have complaints.


    On the left side of the hall, an old man with a white head said, "master, the Pang family has given Liu Xiu enough. No matter what period it is, Pang''s family is full of support. Now that Liu Xiu has gained momentum, he is going to fight against the pangs. Can you tell me about it? It''s not authentic to cross the river like this. "


    The speaker''s name was Pang min, and he was Pang''s uncle according to his seniority.


    Among the principal members of the Pang family, Pang Min has the highest seniority.


    "Uncle, it''s just a thorough investigation of the population. It''s not a big deal. In the long run, on the one hand, Pang family has made great achievements in lumen academy, while Shiyuan has taken root around Liu Xiu. As long as Liu Xiu achieves great achievements, the Pang family''s benefits will far exceed what they pay today. At that time, the future of the Pang family was not limited to Jingzhou, but the whole Han Dynasty. "


    Pang Min said, "it''s all about thinking. Who knows the future. Master, I don''t want to. This is a huge blow to the Pang family and our branches. "


    Facing Pang Degong, Pang min chose to refute.


    "Master, yes, we can''t do that. Once we''ve all let go, isn''t the Pang family going to be slaughtered by Liu Xiu? "


    "Yes, I agree. Liu Xiu can''t be allowed to do anything."


    "I also agree that Liu Xiu must be stopped, otherwise this case will be opened. What will we do in the future?"


    Everyone in charge of the Pang family spoke one after another.


    When you look at me, all of them are refutations.


    Pang Degong''s eyes narrowed and he looked at the Pang family. His eyes flashed a thoughtful look, and he said: "I''ve decided about the census. I don''t need to discuss it any more. If anyone dares to resist, don''t blame me for driving him out of the house. "


    The strong words made everyone silent.


    In Pang''s family, pound has enough prestige to make people dare not speak.


    Pang min looks at the other people in the hall. His eyes flow. After several people look at each other, their faces are thoughtful. After nodding their heads slightly, they have reached an agreement.

 Chapter 503

    After Pang''s decision, Pang''s family had no objection.


    One by one, even though they were not convinced, they did not dare to mention it again. They all responded respectfully. After leaving the hall and going out of the gate, the expressions on their faces were so gloomy that they were about to drip out of the water. According to the principal of Pang''s family, Pang Degong was dedicated to Liu Xiu, regardless of Pang''s interests.


    The Pang family is an aristocratic family. They have a family first and then a country. If they ignore their family in order to help Liu Xiu, what is the significance of their existence?


    Pang min looked at the others and said faintly, "ladies and gentlemen, I have a piece of jade in my family. Are you willing to enjoy it with me?"


    "I''ll have a good look."


    "Uncle invited, there is no reason not to go."


    "Go together, go together."


    The aristocratic families standing outside the door are all competing with each other. Their eyes are flowing, and they have a bright smile on their face. But they have already been thinking about how to solve the problem in Pang min''s home.


    A quarter of an hour later, they arrived at Pang min''s home.


    Please take your seat!


    Pang min Duan sat on the top, his eyes swept the people under his command, and his eyes became solemn.


    These people are an important force against Liu Xiu.


    Pang min didn''t beat around the bush. He said straight to the point: "you are all the talents of the Pang family. You are the mainstay of the Pang family. Now the owner of the family is determined to push the Pang family into the fire pit. What do you think of this? "


    Put forward the reason, but Pang min did not say how to do.


    It has to be led by the people below.


    Sure enough, some people couldn''t bear it any longer. One of them said, "uncle, in my opinion, this is not the way to be the head of the Pang family. In this case, we have to ask the family leader to abdicate. My uncle has the highest seniority and high prestige. He is the God of the sea of the Pang family. It is most appropriate for my uncle to be in charge of the Pang family. "


    Pang min after listening, secretly scolded: "this is to put the old man on the fire to roast ah!"


    Pang min is very dissatisfied with Pang Degong''s practice.


    However, Pang Min has no idea about the position of the head of the family.


    It is not enough to be the head of a family without certain ability and prestige. Pang min asked himself that he didn''t have the prestige of Lord pound and knew that he was not that material.


    The most important thing is that once he competes for the position of home owner, it is likely to attract Liu Xiu''s attack.


    Pang min shook his head and said, "Lord pound is the most suitable person to be the head of the family. There is no doubt about this. The reason why Pang Degong made mistakes is also because of Liu Xiu''s existence. Because of Liu Xiu, the Pang family was repeatedly affected. So now the most fundamental thing is aimed at Liu Xiu. "


    In a word, Pang min threw out his idea.


    Originally, he didn''t want to take the lead, but he didn''t want the Pang family to lead the fight for the owner. This was the last thing Pang min wanted to see, so he directly threw out the topic of discussion.


    When they heard the speech, their faces were dignified.


    For Liu Xiu!


    In other words, it''s about fighting Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu enjoys great prestige in Jingzhou, and he is loved by countless people. Therefore, to deal with Liu Xiu, everyone in the Pang family looks very dignified and withers.


    Pang min sees people''s expressions and scolds a group of rubbish.


    A thief''s heart is not a thief''s gall.


    If Liu Xiu is not completely solved, Liu Xiu will have more actions, and the Pang family will suffer more and more blows. So Pang min decided to take risks and win Liu Xiu.


    Pang Min said: "you are all from my Pang family. Are you willing to watch Liu Xiu continue to do evil? If we choose to overthrow pound, we will be targeted by Liu Xiu immediately. "


    "By Liu Xiu''s means, he wanted to destroy the Pang family, such as Fanzhang."


    "The only way is not to move Mr. pound, and then use the relationship between Mr. pound and Liu Xiu to calculate Liu Xiu."


    Pang Min said: "if you have mental calculation, but you don''t want to, we''ll make a good design, but we won''t succeed. As long as we succeed, the pangs will unite with other families to recommend a new state animal husbandry. At that time, the Pang family can go further. If you want to be an official, you should be an official. If you want to be an official, you should be an official. Now, we even have to pass the examination for a county magistrate the size of a sesame. "


    After hearing this, people''s faces were moved.


    Benefit!


    In the eyes of the public, they saw the benefits of killing Liu Xiu.


    If there is no interest to fight for, it is absolutely unrealistic for them to deal with Liu Xiu. Now Pang Min has brought out great benefits, and everyone is excited.


    Below, a man said: "old man, if you want to calculate Liu Xiu, I''m afraid our family alone will not be able to succeed."


    "Newspaper!"


    Just then, the housekeeper came in from outside the hall.


    The housekeeper went to pangmin''s shenang and whispered a word."Ha ha ha..."


    In a flash, Pang min burst out laughing and his face was full of color of relationship: "if you really doze off, someone will give you a pillow. Whatever you think, everything will come."


    "Uncle, what''s the good news?" Someone asked.


    Pang Min said with a smile, "here comes Huang Che of the Huang family."


    "Huang Che?"


    Among the people below, the expressions on their faces were quite surprised.


    Huang Chengyan is the leader of the Huang family, but Huang Chengyan is not the most senior member of the Huang family. Just like Pang min''s position in the Pang family, Huang Che''s position in the Huang family is the same.


    Huang Che is over 70 years old, which is the same as Pang min.


    Pang min waved his hand and said, "please!"


    The housekeeper went down to convey the news, while Pang min stood up and went to the gate to meet him. After a while, Pang min saw Huang Che coming and said with a smile, "brother Huang''s visit really brightens my house."


    Huang Che''s white beard fluttered in the wind. He shook his long sleeves, folded his hands and bowed his hands to say, "I''m sorry to visit you." As soon as he swept the hall, he saw the Pang family. He immediately looked embarrassed: "Pang Xiandi, there''s something important to discuss. In that case, I''d better visit again next time."


    Pang min didn''t understand the old fox''s trick. He waved his hand and said, "brother Huang, this is not an outsider. Come on, please


    "Thank you very much."


    With a smile, Huang Che followed him into the hall.


    After sitting down, Pang Min said, "what''s the purpose of brother Huang''s coming here this time?"


    Huang Che glanced at the people around him, then listened to Pang min''s smile and said, "these are all my own people. Brother Huang doesn''t have to see anyone else. It''s the same thing to say in front of everyone. "


    Huang Che said with a smile, "I''m here to discuss the census with Pang Xiandi."


    "Oh, what a coincidence. We are also discussing this matter." Pang min stroked his beard under his jaw and said with a smile: "it''s true that heroes have the same ideas. They all want to go together. This time, we are also discussing the matter. "


    Huang Che said, "how did Pang Xiandi discuss with you sages?"


    Pang min shook his head and said, "I haven''t got a clue yet."


    Huang Che is an old fox, Pang min is not simple, he will not be silly to say that he intends to deal with Liu Xiu. Huang Che, in particular, took the initiative to visit Diaoyutai.


    Huang Che''s mind turns and suddenly understands Pang min''s words.


    What a cunning fox.


    Huang Che scolded secretly, and said to the point, "I''m here because Huang Chengyan, the head of our Huang family, has decided to support Liu Xiu''s thorough investigation of the population. But in doing so, the Huang family will lose countless benefits. I strongly disagree with this matter. I have reached a consensus with some members of the Huang family and intend to fight against it. This time, I''ve come here specially for this matter. "


    Pang Min said with a smile: "I and brother Huang really have the same ideas. Pang Degong, the owner of the Pang family, firmly supports Liu Xiu, but I and you are also against a thorough investigation of the population. So, we are discussing how to resist it. Now that brother Huang is here, it brings good news to the Huang family. In this way, things will be more sure. "


    "Hahaha, that''s true. The Pang family and the Huang family join hands. That''s different."


    There was a touch of joy in Huang Che''s eyes.


    In fact, before he came, he had already inquired about Pang min''s discussion with others. He came on his own initiative only when he knew that Pang min would not agree to a thorough investigation of the population.


    This time, it was to deal with Liu Xiu and not let him succeed.

 Chapter 504

    Huang Che laughed and said, "it''s just, what is Pang Xiandi going to do? It''s not easy for us to boycott Liu Xiu. We have to discuss it carefully. Otherwise, before we start boycotting Liu Xiu, I''m afraid we will be overturned by Liu Xiu. "


    Huang Che is also worried about resisting a thorough investigation of the population.


    After all, Liu Xiu''s strength is too strong.


    So Huang Che went to Pang min''s house to discuss the matter with him.


    Pang min twisted his beard under his jaw and narrowed his eyes. The wrinkles on his old face were even tighter. He said in a deep voice: "even if we succeed in boycotting now, as long as Liu Xiu is still there, the Jingzhou family will be restless for a day. Liu Xiu is a man who constantly weakens his family. As long as he is there will be no good life for his family. So I decided to do my best to overturn Liu Xiu. "


    "Ah


    Huang Che exclaimed and widened his eyes.


    Turbid eyes, was a flash of fear.


    Overturn Liu Xiu!


    It''s not a simple matter. It''s easy to destroy the family.


    Huang Che swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said slowly, "my dear brother, it''s really a big thing to overturn Liu Xiu. If you don''t pay any attention to it, you''ll lose your head. "


    Pang Min said, "are you willing to watch your family decline?"


    Huang Che shook his head and said, "naturally, I don''t want to."


    Pang min asked again: "are you willing to watch the power in your hand decline a little bit, and finally be a little old man who is willing to go back to the mountains."


    Huang Che said: "absolutely impossible."


    It''s impossible for him to go back to the mountains.


    Pang min shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "that''s it. The aristocratic family and Liu Xiu are on the opposite side. If we want to save ourselves, we can only overturn Liu Xiu. "


    Huang Che took a deep breath, with a determined look on his face.


    It''s done!


    Huang Che''s eyes sparkled with murderous spirit.


    After a moment, Huang Che''s mood had calmed down and said slowly: "to deal with Liu Xiu, we must have a detailed plan. I don''t know how Pang Xiandi prepared? It''s a matter of winning, not losing. If it fails, it''s a matter of killing the family. Therefore, there is no need to be more cautious. "


    Pang Min said: "we haven''t decided what to do with this matter. We are still in discussion."


    Huang Che nodded, and the plan to overturn Liu Xiu must be detailed.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, the housekeeper came in again. He came to the hall, stood beside Pang min and whispered a word.


    Pang min''s eyebrows were raised and his eyes were surprised.


    What a sensation!


    Unexpectedly, even these people who hide in the dark come to the door.


    Pang min''s eyes turned, and he said in a low voice, "take the man to the study. I''ll come later."


    "No!"


    The housekeeper got the order and went down.


    Pang min looked at the Pang family and said, "ladies and gentlemen, we have made a decision about how to deal with Liu Xiu. I hope you will keep it a secret. As long as you overturn Liu Xiu, you will get countless benefits. So you should go back and get ready, get the private soldiers in each room ready, and then wait for the order. "


    "Yes


    The Pang family did not refuse and nodded.


    After the crowd left, only Pang min and Huang Che were left in the hall. Pang Min said, "brother Huang, there is an important person to see now. Please follow me."


    "Oh, who''s coming?"


    Huang Che followed Pang min with a curious look on his face.


    Pang Min said, "I''ll know when I see you."


    Two people go hand in hand, time is not long, already arrived in the study. The person waiting in the study is none other than Cai Zheng, the eldest of the Cai family. He got Cai Yu''s plan, and has been following the movements of Pang family and Huang family. When he learned the news of Pang min and Huang Che, he came quietly.


    When Cai Zheng saw them, he arched his hand and said, "I''ve met Mr. Pang and Mr. Huang."


    Pang min was not surprised to know.


    Huang Che is stunned for a moment, did not expect that even the Cai family are out.


    It''s interesting.


    Huang Che soon regained his composure, nodded slightly, and went into the study to sit down. When they were seated, Pang Min said, "nephew Cai Xian is visiting. What''s the matter?"


    Cai Zheng said with a smile: "to thoroughly investigate the population."


    Pang Min said: "Oh, it seems that Liu Xiu''s thorough investigation of the population made even the people of the Cai family unable to bear it."


    Cai Zheng, however, chuckled and shook his head. "This time, I''m here for the pangs and the Huangs. The Cai family has long been destroyed. It has become the past. Even the shadow of the Cai family can''t be found in Jingzhou. "


    Pang Min said: "my good nephew is really a good man. If you are in a hurry, you will be in a hurry."


    With a little sarcasm, Cai Zheng didn''t care.


    Pang Min said with a smile: "dear nephew, don''t talk in secret in front of celebrities, just tell your purpose and your demands. You can''t hide your mind in front of me. ""If you want to cooperate, you have to be sincere enough," Huang said


    Cai Zheng understood what they said.


    It''s time to deal with Liu Xiu!


    From their tone, he had heard that they were planning to deal with Liu Xiu.


    Cai Zheng looked solemn and said, "my purpose is very simple, that is to kill Liu Xiu and rebuild the Cai family. Of course, it is not easy to overthrow Liu Xiu and rebuild the Cai family with our own efforts. Therefore, this matter needs the help of Pang Gong and Huang Gong. I''ll make a plan for you to kill Liu Xiu, and then you''ll help me revive the Cai family. "


    Pang min and Huang Che look at each other. They both nod slightly.


    The hatred between Liu Xiu and the Cai family is well known.


    It is expected that the Cai family will deal with Liu Xiu, so it is not uncommon.


    "It''s not hard to help you revive the Cai family," Pang Min said. But the biggest problem is to kill Liu Xiu, which is the most difficult thing. Since you have a plan, let''s hear it. "


    Cai Zheng said slowly: "first, let Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan go to lumen mountain without Liu Xiu''s knowledge."


    Pang Min said, "why


    "Pang Gong''s plan is to listen carefully," Cai said


    Pang min nodded slightly, but no longer asked, but stroked his beard and waited.


    Cai Zheng continued: "after Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan left, do the second thing. Send someone to invite Liu Xiu to Fengping ferry outside Xiangyang City in the name of Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan."


    "First of all, it''s Mr. Pound''s people who will invite him. Naturally, Liu Xiu will go."


    "Second, if Huang Chengyan''s people invite him, Liu Xiu will not doubt it."


    "With these two relationships, Liu Xiu must go there in person. Especially at this time, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan have already left the county for lumen mountain, and they will not go to Liu Xiu by accident, so as to ensure that there will be no accident."


    Cai Zheng said: "as long as you ambush the dead at Fengping ferry, once Liu Xiu arrives, countless people will rush up. Even if Liu Xiu takes the guard, he will surely die."


    Cai Zheng gave a detailed plan directly.


    This plan was made by Cai Yu.


    "What a killing plan."


    Pang min''s eyes are shining with bright light. He is worried that he can''t find a plan to kill Liu Xiu. Now Cai Zheng has provided a complete plan, and the operability of this plan is quite high, so there is an opportunity.


    Huang Che nodded and said, "nephew Cai Xian''s plan is indeed perfect. As long as the people sent by the Huang family and Pang family, Liu Xiu will not doubt it. It can be achieved."


    He was quite satisfied with Tsai''s proposal.


    Cai Zheng said: "I have already made clear the detailed plan. How to dispatch people and how to set up ambushes is the matter of the two of you. However, on the day of ambushing Liu Xiu, I must also be present. I want to see Liu Xiu die and avenge the death of CAI jiayingling. "


    Huang Che nodded and said, "I promise your request."


    Pang Min said: "I also promise you that things will be arranged soon. Tell me where you live, and I''ll send someone to let you know when it''s time. "


    Cai Zheng nods, tells Pang min a contact address, and leaves.


    Pang min and Huang Che discuss the details with each other and finally decide the time to start. After Huang Che left, Pang min summoned the Pang family and began to murder Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 505

    Prefecture, backyard.


    When Liu Xiu has nothing to do, he comes to tease the children.


    After playing with Liu Zhen for a while, Liu Xiu got up and left the backyard and went to the study.


    In recent days, Liu Xiu has focused on the thorough investigation of population.


    Once the population is thoroughly investigated, the interests of the aristocratic families will be involved. This kind of thing is easy to cause the reaction of aristocratic families, so Liu Xiu has to be cautious.


    The Pang family, the Huang family and the Kuai family all agreed, and it''s hard to guarantee that other families won''t have any opinions.


    Therefore, Liu Xiu did not dare to relax.


    In addition, the royal guards under Deng Zhan have gone to all counties in Jingzhou for thorough investigation, which is also a matter that is easy to cause rebound and needs attention.


    In the study, Liu XiuXiu is browsing the government affairs that need to be dealt with.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of footsteps came in from the outside, but Deng Zhan came in and reported: "Lord, there is a man from outside the mansion, a member of the Pang family."


    "Please


    Liu Xiu gave the order directly.


    After Deng Zhan stepped down, a servant came in. Liu Xiu also knew this attendant. In the past, when the pangs came to deliver messages, they mostly came to deliver them.


    Liu Xiu asked, "what can I do for you?"


    The valet stooped to his feet and reported, "I''d like to report back to you, master. Please come to Fengping ferry this afternoon."


    "Fengping ferry?"


    Liu Xiu is not familiar with Fengping ferry and looks at Deng Zhan.


    Deng Zhan said with a smile: "Lord, Fengping ferry is located in the south of Xiangyang City. It''s a ferry to take a boat. By boat from Fengping ferry, you can go south to Yicheng County and other places. "


    Liu Xiu did not doubt it, and said, "I know!"


    The attendant bowed his hand and left the study.


    Deng Zhan immediately stepped down to deal with his own affairs, while Liu Xiu stayed in his study and continued to deal with government affairs.


    About half an hour later, Deng Zhan came again: "Lord, the people of the Huang family want to see you."


    "Please


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and arranged it directly.


    Not long after, the Huang family''s attendants entered the study. Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on the Huang family''s attendants, who he also knew and who was next to Huang Chengyan. When he met something or had any arrangements, he came to convey the news.


    Liu Xiu said, "what''s the matter with my father-in-law?"


    "My Lord, please arrive at Fengping ferry before Shenshi this afternoon," the valet reported


    Liu Xiu eyebrows slightly frown, how to notice.


    Liu Xiu asked, "what is it?"


    The attendant shook his head and said, "I don''t know."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "I know. Go down."


    After retiring, Liu Xiu''s heart was a little confused. As usual, all the discussions were held at the house of Mr. pound or Mr. Huang Chengyan. This time, it was Fengping ferry. In addition, it''s often enough to inform things by one person. This time, it was Pang Degong''s and Huang Chengyan''s people who informed them first and then, which is quite strange.


    However, Liu Xiu believed Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan, and did not doubt them.


    After all, it''s not unusual to choose Fengping ferry.


    It was still the morning, and it was still early in the afternoon. After Liu Xiu waved Deng Zhan to step down, Liu Xiu continued to settle down to deal with the government affairs.


    After Deng Zhan stepped down, he went to his government to deal with the new news.


    The royal guards moved, Jingzhou is full of royal guards spies, and the news is quite a lot.


    A piece of News reported up, Deng Zhan constantly deal with.


    The more he checked, the more frightened and excited Deng Zhan was.


    Because of the news, at least five of the ten poor officials have committed bribery, which is related to the bottom line set by Liu Xiu.


    These officials must also be punished.


    After lunch, in the late afternoon.


    Deng Zhan stayed in the Yamen to deal with the constant news.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of footsteps came in, and a royal captain came in.


    The captain bowed and said, "general, the poor officials in Xiangyang have made some moves."


    "Oh, tell me?"


    Deng Zhan''s face brightened and he became very excited.


    Since Liu Xiu issued the news to investigate the poor officials, Deng Zhan monitored the poor officials who stayed in Xiangyang. Apart from not letting them leave Xiangyang, everything else is free.


    "Some officials from poor families have found their families. It seems that they are looking forward to and seeking the help of their families," Xiaowei reported


    With a cold look in his eyes, Deng Zhan said: "it''s hard for the aristocratic families to protect themselves. Do they want to collude when they find help from the aristocratic families? These people are under close surveillance. ""No!"


    In response to the order, the Xiaowei said, "in addition, there are several other people who have found another way to find Mr. pound and Mr. Huang Chengyan."


    "Looking for them? That''s self humiliation. "


    Deng Zhan gave a cold smile. Both Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan supported Liu Xiu and could not help corrupt officials. "


    The Xiaowei laughed and said respectfully, "the general has a point. They went to find Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan. That''s absolutely self humiliating. They can''t succeed at all. It''s ridiculous that these poor officials went to lumen mountain early in the morning, and they are still on it now. Hum, it''s not so easy to visit Mr. pound and Mr. Huang Chengyan. "


    On hearing this, Deng Zhan raised his eyebrows and said, "aren''t Pang Gong and Huang Gong in the city? What are they doing in lumen mountain? "


    Xiaowei replied: "listen to the people below, Pang Gong and Huang Gong left the city this morning and went to the direction of lumen mountain. Up to now, no one has returned to the city. "


    After listening to Deng Zhan, he immediately fell silent.


    I went to lumen mountain!


    Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan are in lumen mountain. It''s not right.


    Deng Zhanmao stood up and asked again, "are you sure Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan didn''t return to the city?"


    On hearing this, the captain scratched his head and became uncertain again.


    Deng Zhan thought about it and said, "go to the gate immediately and ask the soldiers to see if Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan have returned to the city. Remember, don''t leak the news."


    "Yes


    Xiaowei doesn''t understand Deng Zhan''s meaning, but he can only arrange it obediently.


    About two quarters of an hour later, the captain came back short of breath. The captain went to inquire about the news on horseback. He ran all the way, so he was a little short of breath.


    Xiaowei stood in front of Deng Zhan and reported: "general, Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong did not return to the city."


    "I see. Go down!"


    Deng Zhan waved his hand and asked the captain to step down.


    Just as the captain was about to leave the room, Deng Zhan said, "stop!"


    At this time, Deng Zhan stood up and said: "remember, this news is not allowed to leak out."


    "Yes


    The captain didn''t know what the secret was.


    But Deng Zhan didn''t explain, so he went straight to Liu Xiu''s study. After he entered the study, he happened to see Liu Xiu, who had already changed a pair.


    Liu Xiu shook his robes and said, "Deng Zhan, you''ve come just in time. Let''s get ready. Let''s go to Fengping ferry."


    Deng Zhan solemnly said, "Lord, I suggest you not go to Fengping ferry."


    "Why?" Liu Xiu asked.


    At this time, Liu Xiu felt a little strange. Why did Deng Zhan suddenly suggest that he should not go?


    Deng Zhan said: "when I heard the news from the soldiers just now, I happened to know that Pang Gong and Huang Gong had gone to lumen mountain in the morning and have not returned to the city yet. From lumen mountain to Fengping ferry, not one and a half hours is enough. But now to the appointed review, there is not much time left, but they have not come back, so it is definitely impossible for them to go to the meeting. "


    Liu Xiumei first pick, pound De Gong and Huang Chengyan actually went to lumen mountain.


    However, it was agreed to be at Fengping ferry!


    It suddenly occurred to Liu Xiu that in the morning, the pangs and the Huangs came to deliver the news one after another, and they all agreed to be at Fengping ferry. For a moment, when he thought that Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan were no longer going out to Xiangyang City, he had a guess in his heart.


    Trap!


    This is a trap designed by someone who wants to let Liu Xiu go to Fengping ferry.


    When Liu Xiusheng came up with this idea, his mind began to work quickly. He deliberated little by little, thinking about the whole thing. The more he pondered, the more wrong he was.

 Chapter 506

    Since Liu Xiu became the herdsman of Jingzhou, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan did not send any more people to ask Liu Xiu to talk about things. Everything happened was that Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan went to the Prefecture in person, or Liu Xiu went to Pang Degong or Huang Chengyan''s residence in person.


    It was the first time that Liu Xiu met him.


    At the same time, the location is weird.


    What can Fengping ferry, a place for taking a boat, do? Liu Xiu felt strange in his heart. When he thought about it, Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong couldn''t make it, so he had a firm guess.


    Bit by bit of scrutiny, but simply can not withstand scrutiny.


    Ambush!


    This is an ambush against him.


    Liu Xiu said: "Deng Zhan, the Fengping ferry may not have been informed by the teacher and his father-in-law, but by someone who wanted to go there with the help of the Pang family and the Huang family, or by the Pang family and the Huang family under the pretext of the teacher and his father-in-law. This is probably a trap."


    "Ah


    Deng Zhan exclaimed, and his face was shocked.


    In fact, although Deng Zhan felt that there was something strange, he did not suspect that he was going to ambush.


    Deng Zhan''s consideration is that since Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan can''t make it back, Liu Xiu''s trip to Fengping ferry is a waste. Therefore, Deng Zhanlai told Liu Xiu that he wanted to advise Liu Xiu not to go.


    Unexpectedly, what Liu Xiu inferred was such a result.


    Deng Zhan thought for a moment and said, "so there are people in the Huang family and Pang family who want to kill the Lord. Such a person should be killed. Lord, I''m going to take people to surround the Pang family and the Huang family and arrest the people behind the scenes. "


    "No way!"


    Liu Xiu didn''t even think about it, so he refused.


    The direct encirclement of the Pang family and the Huang family will bring too much influence. It is also easy to scare the snake and catch the people behind the scenes.


    This kind of practice is simply to harm others but not to benefit oneself.


    With a bright light in his eyes, Deng Zhan asked, "what is the master going to do?"


    After thinking for a moment, Liu Xiu said, "I''ll go there myself to lure these people out. Since they have arranged this bureau, their spies must be everywhere on the way to Fengping ferry. If I hadn''t gone, they would have found out. So this time, I have to go once. "


    Deng Zhan frowned and said, "Lord, it''s too dangerous."


    "When it comes to things like this, you have to go even if it''s dangerous," Liu said. Especially when it comes to the Pang family and the Huang family, we need to be more clear. Most importantly, with the royal guards under your command, can I have anything else to do at Fengping ferry? "


    As soon as these words came out, Deng Zhan felt the pressure on him doubled.


    Liu Xiu''s security is related to the stability of Jingzhou and the development after Jiaozhou.


    Once Liu Xiu goes wrong, it will cause great turbulence.


    Deng Zhan took a deep breath. After thinking about it carefully, he suggested: "Lord, although the royal guards are sure to protect your safety. But this kind of thing is hard to guarantee. I suggest you don''t go to Fengping ferry


    Liu Xiu stared at Deng Zhan and said, "when did the royal guards become so timid?"


    Deng zhanlang said: "my Lord, it''s not cowardly, it''s not the royal guards who are afraid of things, but the safety of my Lord is the most important."


    Liu Xiu said, "I can rest assured that you are here."


    He said, "even if my father-in-law and I had to go for a trip, I would have to go. My teacher and father-in-law have made the pangs and Huang families pay a lot for me, especially this thorough population investigation, which has a wide range of implications. The Pang family and the Huang family probably did this because of this incident. In order to solve the temptation of teachers and father-in-law, in order to let the thorough population investigation continue, I also have to go


    After listening to Deng Zhan, he knew that it was impossible to persuade him again.


    What we can do is to support Liu Xiu.


    Deng Zhan said: "since my Lord wants to go there in person, he must wear soft gold armor inside his clothes. At the same time, when you get to Fengping ferry, you must follow the arrangement of the royal guards. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Deng Zhan, I will listen to you."


    "Thank you, Lord!"


    Deng Zhan was relieved. As long as Liu Xiu obeyed the arrangement of the royal guards, everything would be fine.


    Liu Xiu was very relieved of Deng Zhan. He waved his hand and said, "my safety is up to you. Now go and arrange it. When you''re ready, you''ll let me know. "


    "Yes


    Deng Zhan bowed his hand and turned down.


    About half an hour, Deng Zhan came to the study.


    In Deng Zhan''s hand, he also took a piece of soft gold armor. He put the golden soft armour on Liu Xiu''s desk and said, "master, the carriage and the golden soft armour are ready. At the same time, the humble position has mobilized the soldiers of the royal guards and started to sneak into the Fengping ferry. When we arrive at Fengping ferry, the soldiers of the royal guards will ambush around. With a command, the soldiers of the royal guards will be killed.


    After a pause, Deng Zhan added: "in addition, the humble officers have arranged garrison soldiers at the checkpoints along the way, so that they can block all the checkpoints after applying for the time."Liu Xiu nodded his head with satisfaction.


    Deng Zhan''s arrangement is reasonable and the most appropriate.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "let''s go!"


    Deng Zhan followed Liu Xiu to the stables and entered the carriage.


    Liu Xiu came in to have a look, and his eyes widened. Good guy, except for the window, the other three sides of the carriage have been set up with thick boards to ensure that even if the carriage is arched, it will not be shot through.


    In addition, the carriage was very spacious, with a pile of shields placed inside. It was obviously handed over to the accompanying royal guards at Fengping ferry.


    Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and said, "Deng Zhan, how many people are there with him?"


    "Twelve soldiers of the royal guards," Deng said


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "let''s go!"


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan drove himself, and then he took twelve royal guards out of the gate of the prefecture and headed for Fengping ferry. Outside the prefecture, by a street near the official road.


    A man sitting on the side of the road, holding a flag and writing fortune telling, looked up at the carriage.


    Seeing the driver in the carriage, the prime minister''s pupil shrank and then lowered his head.


    This man is a spy sent by Pang min, who specializes in information. He knows Deng Zhan. Seeing that Deng Zhan was driving in person, he knew that it must be Liu Xiu in the carriage, because only Liu Xiu had this shelf.


    After Liu Xiuyuan left, the prime minister quickly put up the stall and disappeared. When Liu Xiu went all the way to Fengping ferry, there were spies all the way to find out Liu Xiu''s whereabouts, and then quickly went back to report.


    Fengping ferry!


    This place is open.


    From the official road to the ferry bank, there are nearly ten Zhang wide roads, which can accommodate the carriage carrying goods.


    On both sides of the ferry, there are rolling hillside trees.


    This is the place where the Han River flows, and this area is just suitable to be used as a wharf. Because there are so many people taking a boat, it has become a ferry.


    On the left, a hundred feet away, there is a mountain forest.


    Among the mountains, Pang min, Huang Che and Cai Zheng were all among them. Besides, Cai Yan, Cai Yu and Cai Feng also arrived.


    Everyone is waiting for the news.


    "Rustle!"


    A sound of walking came from the woods.


    A scout came back quickly. He came to Pang min and reported: "Pang Gong, Liu Xiu has come out of the prefecture. When Liu Xiu came to Fengping ferry this time, he took Deng Zhan and twelve people with him, and nothing else


    "I see!"


    As soon as Pang min waved his hand, the spy stepped down.


    He looked at Cai Zheng and said with a smile, "my nephew''s plan is really wonderful. Liu Xiu really fell into the trap. Liu Xiu only brought Deng Zhan and 12 soldiers, but we have more than 500 people. Our people can easily kill Liu Xiu. In my opinion, we have brought more than 500 people, and more than 100 people are enough to kill Liu Xiu. "


    Cai Yu said with a smile: "Pang Gong, the lion still needs all his strength to fight the rabbit. This time to kill Liu Xiu, only success, not failure. So under such circumstances, it''s better to be safe. A little more manpower will not affect us. "


    Pang Min said: "it''s the same reason. Caution is the most important."


    Three people chatting, the mood is particularly good, because Liu Xiu is coming to Fengping ferry.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, another sentinel came back to report.


    Sentry came to Pang min and said, "Pang Gong, Liu Xiu''s carriage is less than five miles away from Fengping ferry."


    "All ready for me!"


    As soon as Pang min heard the news, he gave the order directly. Pang min''s face was red and his eyes were excited. He was already excited.

 Chapter 507

    "Wheel! Wheel


    A carriage came slowly and went to the ferry.


    The distance is getting closer and closer, and all the royal guards around the carriage are in a good mood to deal with it carefully.


    It seems that these 12 people only wore the clothes of the soldiers of the royal guards, but in fact, they were all at the rank of lieutenant of the royal guards, all dressed as ordinary soldiers.


    Even if besieged, with the protection of this team of royal guards, Deng Zhan is confident that he can get out.


    This is also Deng Zhan''s strength.


    Deng Zhan drove forward, less than 100 Zhang away from fengpingdu.


    "Lord, it''s almost here. Be careful."


    Deng Zhan drives forward and reminds us carefully.


    Sitting in the carriage, Liu Xiu heard Deng Zhan''s words, and his face also showed a worried look. He said, "if you sit on the shaft, be careful of the cold arrows coming from around."


    He was in the carriage, arranged by Deng Zhan, and the carriage had already been reinforced.


    Even if there is a hidden arrow, Liu Xiu is not worried.


    On the contrary, Deng Zhan''s goal is quite obvious and dangerous.


    After the carriage arrived at Fengping ferry, there was no one around the ferry today. Even the boatman who supported the boat on the side of the ferry was gone. There was no one around. It was quiet and there was an atmosphere of killing.


    Deng Zhan got out of the carriage and stood around, forgetting his eyes. He said: "Lord, all the steps around the Fengping ferry are empty. We can''t lay an ambush. The only possibility is that there should be people from the Pang family and the Huang family in the distant mountains. "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu lifted the curtain of the carriage door and came down.


    Standing on the bank, he glanced at the surrounding situation, and it was really difficult for him to lay an ambush around him.


    The only possibility is to lay an ambush in the mountains and forests further away.


    Liu Xiu looked around and said with a smile, "the man who chose to lay an ambush is really stupid. He laid an ambush in this place. In other places where the terrain is narrow and it is not easy to escape, the probability of success can also be increased. But in such a place, if I want to escape, it will be easier. "


    "Maybe the other side is too confident," Deng said


    "It''s possible!"


    Liu Xiu stood with his hand in his back and waited quietly.


    In the mountains, Pang min, Huang Che, Cai Zheng and others have seen Liu Xiu standing at Fengping ferry from a distance. Pang min''s eyes twinkled with excitement and coldness. He shook his sleeve robe and said, "everyone, Liu Xiu has arrived. Now, it''s time for us. This battle is the first battle to establish the pattern of Jingzhou. Please


    As soon as Pang min opened his mouth, the crowd followed him and walked slowly out of the forest.


    "Whew!"


    A resounding arrow was launched from the forest.


    As the arrow blasted off, all the private soldiers of Huang family, Pang family and Cai family, who were lying in ambush on both sides of the crossing, were killed and blocked in the official road.


    When Pang min walked out of the forest, he saw his men approaching the Bank of the ferry.


    The soldiers formed a circle and blocked Liu Xiu''s retreat.


    Pang min and others soon came to the front of the army. He was less than 20 steps away from Liu Xiu and said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, are you still waiting for Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan?"


    Words, with confidence and calm.


    In his manner, he was more proud and arrogant.


    Pang min at the moment is totally in control of the situation.


    Liu Xiu was blocked at Fengping ferry, and there was no way to escape.


    Liu Xiu fixed his eyes on Pang min and asked, "is that you?" Liu Xiu still doesn''t know Pang min''s identity. He guessed that there was something wrong with the Pang family and the Huang family, but he did not know who it was.


    Pang Min said with a smile: "my husband Pang min is Pang Degong''s uncle."


    Huang Che said, "my husband Huang Che is Huang Chengyan''s uncle."


    The two leaders took the lead.


    Other homeowners of the Huang and Pang families also introduced themselves one after another.


    In front of Liu Xiu''s face, all of them are like winners. In their eyes, Liu Xiu is already the fish on the chopping board. They can''t turn over the waves any more.


    Finally, Cai Zhengcai came out.


    Cai Zheng stared at Liu Xiu and said in a deep voice, "Liu Xiu, my husband Cai Zheng, Cai Mao''s brother."


    Cai Yan said, "I''m Cai Yan."


    Cai Yu stares at Liu Xiu with a look of suppressed anger: "Liu Jingzhou, I''m Cai Yu. This time you are invited to come here, it is my hand. It''s a pity Pang and Cheng don''t want to find you here. They were pushed away by me. I asked people to tell them that you were waiting for them in lumen mountain, and then they went obediently. I guess they are still in lumen mountain now. "


    Cai Feng said, "I''m Cai Feng. I will marry you today."


    Liu Xiu scanned his eyes and said, "there is the Cai family. It seems that the people of the Cai family are still dead. When Cai Mao rebelled, now you rebelled again. "Cai Zheng shook his head and said, "it''s not a rebellion. It''s a return to Jingzhou."


    Pang min stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "Liu Xiu, although you have been suppressing the aristocratic family, you have indeed made great achievements in Jingzhou and made the people of Jingzhou rich. I respect you for the blood of the Han family. I respect you for being a talented person. You should draw your sword and commit suicide. I will leave you a corpse. " Although Pang min was hostile to Liu Xiu, he was willing to let Liu Xiu keep the whole body.


    Huang Che said: "Liu Xiu, today you enter the trap, this battle you already have no way to escape."


    A person looking at Liu Xiu is like looking at a dead man.


    Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Pang min and Huang Che are very good. You are the older generation of the Huang family. It seems that you are not lonely. It seems that you should be swept up. "


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Pang min laughed as if he had heard a funny joke.


    Liu Xiu is too arrogant!


    Up to now, even so arrogant, self righteous.


    Huang Che was even more disdainful to say: "Liu Xiu, if you don''t commit suicide, don''t blame me for not leaving your whole body."


    Cai Feng said: "Duke Huang, what do you want to do with him? Just order to kill him."


    At this time, Cai Feng had already clenched the hilt around his waist and was ready to draw his sword. The first family of the Cai family in Jingzhou had enough influence in the whole Han Dynasty. Because of an order from Liu Xiu, the Cai family collapsed and became the past.


    The hatred of exterminating the family and the family.


    This hatred has long been engraved in CAI Feng''s heart.


    Today, when he trapped Liu Xiu at Fengping ferry, Cai Feng couldn''t bear it any longer.


    Liu Xiu sighed and said: "it''s sad, a group of mole ants. All the chickens and dogs you want to kill me have come out. Now it''s time to be an official. "


    "Signal!"


    Liu Xiu gave an order, and the captain of the royal guards who had already been prepared behind him got the order and directly sent out the arrow.


    "Whew!"


    The arrow suddenly broke the peace of the sky.


    "Whew! Whew


    Then there were two successive arrows.


    After three successive blasts of arrows, a group of soldiers appeared on the official road in the distance. They were fighting at Fengping ferry.


    "Dong! Dong


    The beating of the war drum, resounding through heaven and earth, is full of the breath of killing.


    Black soldiers appeared and approached Pang min, Huang Che and Cai Zheng. In this way, the private soldiers of the aristocratic family were surrounded.


    Pang min''s face changed, his eyes showed a look of shock, his face was full of incredible.


    How is that possible?


    Why did Liu Xiu come with the soldiers.


    Did Liu Xiu have an insight into this matter in advance.


    But the whole plan, there is no flaw, there should not be any loopholes.


    Huang Che, Cai Zheng and others were shocked when they heard this.


    Liu Xiu has a back hand.


    This scene shocked all the people.


    Pang min was shocked at first, but he immediately calmed down and said coldly, "Liu Xiu, your soldiers are all on the periphery. They can''t save you immediately. We can''t get close to the fire. They can''t break through before we kill you. Then, we are still in charge of this battle. "


    "Yes, it''s better to start first."


    Cai Feng roared, drew his sword out of the scabbard, and then killed Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 508

    "Hum!"


    A sharp edge flashes away in the air.


    The sharp point of the sword is close to Liu Xiu''s chest.


    A sword, only a sword into Liu Xiu''s chest, Liu Xiu will die.


    Cai Feng practised the skill of assassinating. He even tried to disguise himself and sneak into Liu Xiu''s prefecture to assassinate Liu Xiu one by one. It''s a pity that the prefecture is heavily guarded, and the people in the prefecture have been carefully verified, so he has no chance to take advantage of it.


    Now, finally, there is an opportunity.


    "Kill


    Cai Feng drank low, stepped forward and quickly shortened the distance.


    In the twinkling of an eye, it was less than ten steps away from Liu Xiu.


    Just at this time, a figure jumped out of Liu Xiu''s side, but a royal guards captain killed him. The captain also used a sword. The sword in his hand was straight ahead, and his figure rushed forward quickly.


    "Offending herdsman, kill!"


    The captain of the royal guards rushed forward. In the blink of an eye, he had already met Cai Feng.


    "Dang!"


    The blade collides and rubs the brilliant Mars.


    a mistake, the long sword in the hand of the Jinyi captain suddenly turned around in the air, and it was stabbed in the back.


    "Puchi!"


    The blade of the Sword Pierced Cai Feng''s back. Under the rapid force, the tip of the sword directly penetrated his chest and pierced his heart. As soon as the Royal Guard''s hand turned, the blade stirred and broke Cai Feng''s heart.


    "Poof!"


    When the tip of the sword is drawn out, the blood gushes out like a spring.


    "Pa!"


    With a dull sound, Cai Feng died.


    The captain of royal guards immediately retreated to Liu Xiushen to protect his safety.


    This fight is just a blink of an eye.


    In their eyes, Cai Feng''s swordsmanship was quite superb. However, a small soldier beside Liu Xiu killed Cai Feng face to face. The gap is too big.


    Pang min see the situation is not right, ordered: "kill!"


    At the command, all the private soldiers of the families under his command rushed up.


    Pang min, Huang Che and Cai Zheng all stepped back. Their faces were very nervous. They no longer had the feeling of victory.


    In particular, officers and soldiers have been killed in the rear.


    If Liu Xiu is not killed or captured alive, he will lose the battle.


    Countless private soldiers of the family rushed up to kill Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan and twelve royal guards.


    For a moment, there were cries of killing.


    Pang min was still worried that the situation would not be controlled. He roared, "if you capture Liu Xiu alive, you''ll get ten thousand gold." Under the reward, there must be brave men. At this time, Pang min can only rely on his brave men.


    The private soldiers of each family rushed up, and Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan and others were already fighting with their swords.


    Liu Xiu holds the Zhenshan sword and joins Deng Zhan.


    Their swordsmanship is extremely exquisite. When they fight forward, no one can stop them.


    Twelve royal guards followed in the rear, shaped like a sharp cone, with Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan as sharp points, while they were flanked on the left side, constantly killing the family private soldiers.


    "Kill


    Liu Xiu roared. The Zhenshan sword in his hand either cleaved or stabbed. Each sword took a life.


    There were 14 people in the party, but they were invincible.


    Even if the private soldiers of the dense family rush up, they are all killed one after another. The place where Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan and others are located is like a meat grinder, constantly strangling the people who rush up.


    The situation of Liu Xiu and others falls into Pang min''s eyes, and Pang min looks anxious.


    Cai Yu also frowned: "it''s a miscalculation. I''m too confident. If the archer had known this well, he would have taken it with him. But now I just brought the family members, and I didn''t prepare the archers. Alas... "


    Seeing that the private soldiers of the family can''t take Liu Xiu, Cai Yu is also very nervous.


    At this time of the periphery, the officers and soldiers have been constantly close.


    "Lord, the yellow tiger is coming!"


    The sound of the horse''s hooves was heard, and a burly figure appeared on the battlefield. Dressed in bright silver chain armour and carrying a drum jar and a gold hammer in his left and right hands, he entered the private army of the aristocratic family.


    "Those who stand in my way will die!"


    Huang Hu spurs his horse. He is a fierce beast in human form.


    The golden hammers of the drum jar roared in the air. Where they passed, flesh and blood flew.


    No one dares to approach within one foot.


    "Lord, shamoko is here!"


    Majestic with the vast roar sounded, but saw shamoko with a stick of Tribulus terrestris bone, directly into the battlefield. His thick hair is flying in the air, and the iron thistle in his hand is constantly waving.


    Where they have gone, all the aristocratic families and private soldiers have fallen.


    These two people are killing gods.


    The blood splashed on the two people''s bodies made their faces look horrible and frightening.


    They rushed with their soldiers. In a short time, they had cut through the formation of the private soldiers of the aristocratic family, which made the formation of the private soldiers of the aristocratic family chaotic. They all fled around and did not dare to resist.This situation immediately affected Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan and others.


    The pressure on these 14 people suddenly relaxed.


    Trapped and unable to move forward, Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan quickly quarrel with Pang min and others to kill them.


    Liu Xiu waved the Zhenshan sword in his hand and killed the private soldiers of the aristocratic family in front of him. But his eyes fell on Pang min, and he roared: "Pang min, take your life."


    Kill! Kill! Kill!


    Liu Xiu kept on rushing forward and quickly shortened the distance.


    Deng Zhan followed him and took the twelve royal guards to kill the people beside Liu Xiu to solve Liu Xiu''s future problems.


    The distance between the two sides is constantly narrowing.


    Pang min shivers when he sees Liu Xiu killed him. Then he sees that the private soldiers around him have been scattered by the officers and soldiers. Especially when he saw the two killing gods Huang Hu and shamoko, he was so scared that he could not fight any more. He yelled: "withdraw, withdraw quickly."


    Pang min directly left Cai Zheng, Huang Che and others and left with his own people.


    Huang Che, too, roared, "withdraw!"


    At this time, in Huang Che''s heart, he just hopes that Liu Xiu will go after Pang min and not take care of him, so he can escape. As soon as he got out of Fengping ferry, he immediately rolled up his bedding and hid.


    Cai Zheng, Cai Yan and Cai Yu also fled quickly.


    Before that, he was still aggressive.


    Now, it''s a mess.


    Liu Xiu leads people to pursue and kill quickly. His target is Pang min. Liu Xiu sprinted at full speed, and the distance between the two sides was constantly shortened.


    Ten steps!


    Eight steps!


    Six steps!


    When the distance between the two sides was less than four steps, Liu Xiu jumped up and kicked out.


    "Pa!"


    Liu Xiujiao is on Pang min''s back. Under the impact of a great force, Pang Min has fallen to the ground and can''t get up any more. It''s simply that Liu Xiu comes forward directly and raises Pang min''s skirt with one hand. Pang min is not trampled to death by people running back and forth.


    After throwing Pang min to Deng Zhan, Liu Xiu sweeps around, but he can''t see Huang Che, Cai Zheng and others. Because there are so many people at the ferry, he can''t find them now.


    "Lord, the end will come late."


    Huang Hu''s voice came. He had already killed Liu Xiu.


    "Lord, it''s coming."


    Shamoko also followed him and came to Liu Xiu''s side.


    Liu Xiu didn''t see Huang Che, Cai Zheng and others, and he stopped chasing them. He ordered, "cover up at full speed and end the fight."


    "No!"


    Huang Hu and shamoko were ordered to take the soldiers to cover up quickly.


    "Those who fall will not be killed!"


    On the battlefield, the voice of yellow tiger sounded.


    Then, there were countless soldiers shouting. After this sound resounded in the battlefield, the private soldiers of the aristocratic families who were still resisting gave up their resistance one by one.


    The compensation for the duration of the battle was completely over within half an hour.


    Liu Xiu scanned his eyes, but did not find Cai Zheng, Huang Che and others.


    The battlefield was handed over to Huang Hu, Sha Mo Ke and others. Liu Xiu took Pang min back to the prefecture. Deng Zhan quickly launched the soldiers who had been arranged before and began to search for the fleeing Cai Zheng, Huang Che and others.


    In the evening, Deng Zhan came back with a smile on his face.


    When Deng Zhan came to the hall, he saluted Liu Xiuxing respectfully and said, "my Lord, I have captured Cai Zheng, Cai Yan and Cai Yu. Besides, Huang Che also caught it. As for the other Pang family and Huang family involved in the house owners, they all brought out. "


    Liu Xiu ordered: "bring them all up."


    "No!"


    Deng zhande ordered him to turn around and go down to arrange.

 Chapter 509

    In the hall, Liu xiuduan sat at the top with a serious face.


    A group of soldiers came in from the outside, escorting a group of family members.


    The leaders are Pang min, Huang Che, Cai Zheng, Cai Yan and Cai Yu, while the ones behind are Pang family and Huang family. All of these people look pale and defeated, just like a defeated rooster, and they have no more air.


    "Kneel down!"


    Soldiers cold drink, Pang min and Huang Che and others do not kneel.


    The rest of the aristocratic family behind them also stood still, as if they had not heard.


    Liu Xiu looked in his eyes and sneered in his heart.


    The masters of these aristocratic families are really temperamental. It''s a pity that he specializes in all kinds of problems.


    Liu Xiu ordered to drag down one leg and hit him


    Brush!


    One by one''s face, instantly became a bitter gourd face.


    Face, no trace of pride.


    Especially seeing the soldiers rush up, there is no pride any more.


    "Plop!"


    Pang min took the lead in kneeling, with a look of humiliation on his face. He is the uncle of the Pang family. He is respected by many generations. Now he is forced to kneel down. I can imagine his emotion.


    Huang Che also knelt down, his expression was quite serious, and his eyes were full of humiliation.


    Unfortunately, all dignity was destroyed by Liu Xiu''s strength.


    After Pang min and Huang Che knelt down, the rest of the Pang family and Huang family knelt down one after another, even if there was a little hesitation, they could not wait to kneel down, for fear that their legs would be broken.


    Only the three brothers of the Cai family are still standing.


    Cai Zheng gives Pang min and Huang Che a look of disdain.


    The old man is a coward.


    With a slight smile, Cai Zheng said, "Liu Xiu, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This time, we lost. Kill or cut as you please. It''s just a broken leg. It''s light


    That casual posture, show the strength.


    Liu Xiu looked in his eyes and said, "Cai Zheng, very good! Cai Yan and Cai Yu are very good. "


    "Since you ask, I will naturally satisfy you."


    "Somebody


    At Liu Xiu''s command, the three soldiers went over, set up the three and took them out.


    All three remained silent throughout.


    Liu Xiu showed a little appreciation in his eyes. He thought of Pang min and Huang Che and others, and said with a smile, "see? They have a lot of guts. It''s a shame that all of them kneel down like you when I threaten you. "


    The tone of sarcasm is full of expression.


    After Pang min, Huang Che and others listened, their eyes were humiliated.


    "Ah


    Suddenly, a shrill scream came in from outside the hall. The sound seemed to penetrate the soul, which made all the aristocratic families kneeling in the hall numb and goose bumps all over.


    "Ah


    "Ah


    The next two screams came again.


    Three screams, to the marrow.


    The voice was heartache, and the heart seemed to tremble.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "it''s a pity that none of you should resist. If only you all resisted. Alas, there are only three voices. "


    After listening, Pang min, Huang Che and others twitched.


    They fight. That''s what fools do.


    After a while, Cai Zheng, Cai Yan and Cai Yu were brought in. They broke a leg and couldn''t stand. They collapsed on the ground, and their expressions were even more ferocious. The blood had spilled from their legs and dyed their robes red.


    Liu Xiu said: "Pang min, do you see that they are sitting and you are kneeling. If you had insisted on it before, you could sit now. "


    Pang min''s face twitched, and his expression seemed constipated.


    Liu Xiu''s banter, like the tip of a needle into the heart, makes him particularly uncomfortable.


    Cai Yu''s face was full of sweat, and his cheek was full of pain, but his eyes were not willing. He stared at Liu Xiu and asked, "Liu Xiu, you win, it''s your turn to be fierce. Just this time, where are our flaws? I think about it. We haven''t left any flaws. How did you find out that it was an ambush? "


    This doubt has been hidden in Cai Yu''s heart for a long time.


    He was ambushed at Fengping ferry before, so he wondered where the flaw was?


    I can''t find a flaw when I think about it.


    But Liu Xiu laid an ambush ahead of time. Obviously, he had already seen through their plan.


    Liu Xiu laughed, his eyes fell on Pang min, and said: "the reason why he can see through this time, of course, is because of Pang min''s son. He told me in advance."


    Brush!


    A pair of eyes, all fell on Pang min''s body.Huang Che said: "Mr. Pang min, you have to help Liu Xiu."


    He himself was next to Pang min and hit out with an old punch. Just listen to a PA, hit Pang min''s face, unexpectedly is hit Pang min a stagger fall to the ground. The rest of them didn''t do it, but they had hatred in their eyes.


    Pang min!


    It turned out that Pang min betrayed them.


    Hate!


    Countless people look at Pang min with anger and resentment in their eyes.


    Pang min took advantage of the situation and said, "what if it''s me? You''re trying to fight Liu Jingzhou. You''re looking for your own death." He turned to look at Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Jingzhou, I''ve done a lot of good. I just want to be open to you."


    In a word, he asked Liu Xiu to spare his life.


    Where he is Liu Xiu''s insider is clearly made up by Liu Xiu, but Pang min ignores his face in order to survive.


    Cai Yu stares at Pang min. he also thinks that only Pang min is an insider can it be possible. Other aspects really can''t find a reason. Cai Yu looked at Liu Xiu and said, "what a combination of inside and outside, what a combination of inside and outside. Liu Xiu, you really won. "


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he burst out laughing.


    It''s a funny laugh.


    Cai Yu frowned and asked, "Liu Xiu, why are you laughing?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were fixed on Pang min, and he said with a smile: "what I''m smiling at is that Pang min is really cheeky and shameless. Because he is not the inside of my official at all. He really wants to fight against my official. Just now, I was just joking. "


    Brush!


    Pang min''s face became extremely embarrassed.


    Liu Xiu''s words immediately gave him a shameless image.


    The sweat exuded from Cai Yu''s forehead, but he gritted his teeth to endure the pain and asked again, "how did you find that?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "it''s very simple. Your arrangement makes me suspicious. First, my teacher and father-in-law have never invited me to any place to discuss business. They have always come to the Yamen to find me when they have something to do. Second, they have never sent someone to inform me at the same time. It''s also doubtful that this is an unnecessary thing. "


    "Two things made me suspicious."


    "But I didn''t study these two things carefully at that time, and I didn''t find them at all."


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said: "when Deng Zhan investigated the poor officials, he happened to know that his teacher and father-in-law had gone to lumen mountain in the morning and had not returned to the city before he left. From lumen mountain to Fengping ferry, you can''t get there in a moment. The appointment is in the afternoon, but neither the teacher nor the father-in-law can arrive. "


    "Such a situation can at least prove that I don''t have to go, because neither the teacher nor my father-in-law can arrive."


    "In addition, I have doubts."


    "Because the teacher and they went to lumen mountain, my suspicion was magnified completely."


    Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "this is the general situation. Because of the accidental discovery, I noticed the ambush of Fengping ferry."


    After hearing this, Cai Yu looked up to the sky and sighed: "the defeat in this battle is not my sin, it''s not God''s blessing!"


    A lonely look came from Cai Yu''s face.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, outside the hall, Deng Zhan came in.


    "Lord, Mr. Pang and Mr. Huang are visiting together," Deng reported


    "Please


    Liu Xiu didn''t stop him. He asked someone to come in directly.


    Obviously, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan didn''t see anyone in lumen mountain and they had already come back. When they came back, they knew the news of Fengping ferry and could easily infer the matter.


    The purpose of the two men''s coming is naturally for the sake of their respective families.


    After a while, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan came in.


    "Pang family, Pang Degong, meet Liu Jingzhou," he said


    Huang Chengyan also said: "Huang Chengyan of Huang family, meet Liu Jingzhou."


    They both spoke in a formal way, no longer as Liu Xiu''s teacher and father-in-law, but as the heads of their families.

 Chapter 510

    Liu Xiu understood the voice of Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan, waved his hand and said, "Pang Gong, Huang Gong, please sit down!"


    When Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan heard the speech, they took their seats.


    Liu xiudao: "why did Pang Gong and Huang Gong Suo come?"


    In the face of the two elders, Liu Xiu can''t do favoritism at the moment. He can only do business. In fact, when Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan showed their identities, they gave Liu Xiu steps to avoid Liu Xiu''s difficulties.


    Pound said: "I''m here for the people who were arrested in the Pang family."


    "It''s the same with me," Huang said


    Liu Xiu didn''t know what the two elders were thinking, so he asked, "what are you going to do?"


    Mr. Pang said, "I''m here to ask Liu Jingzhou to open up. Only the chief villain, not ordinary people. Pang min and other leaders of each room should be punished for their treason, but the Pang family who followed them to make trouble did not know why they were bewitched. Therefore, I sincerely ask Liu Jingzhou to open up his mind. "


    "Hoo


    Liu Xiu was relieved for a long time, and his heart was also relaxed.


    Pound''s kindness to Liu Xiu is like a teacher and a father. If pound had given up his face to beg, he would have been hard to refuse. Now Pound''s doing this, Liu Xiu would be easy to handle.


    Liu Xiu can also account for the killing of Pang min and the other principal of each room.


    It''s all Liu Xiu''s face, and it can save the face of the Pang family.


    After hearing this, Pang min suddenly turned his face and roared: "Mr. pound, you are a beast. I''m your uncle. You can''t help me. You are so damned. You are the head of Pang''s family in vain."


    The rest of the room''s principal also began to curse.


    Liu Xiu said coldly: "the mouth is really smelly. Come on, open your mouth ten times for me."


    The soldier went straight up and slapped in the face.


    After ten slaps, no matter Pang min or the rest of the principal members of the Pang family, their faces were all red and swollen.


    After the soldier retreated, Liu Xiu said coldly, "Pang min, take care of your mouth, otherwise, before you die, I will let you live and die. Be obedient. I''ll give you a good time. "


    The cold and sharp voice seemed to be the cold wind of Jiuyou.


    Pang min heard the speech, cold can''t help shivering, no longer dare to speak.


    Huang Chengyan said, "Liu Jingzhou, my request is the same as Pang Gong''s. I also ask Liu Jingzhou to open up and only punish the chief villain, not the ordinary Huang family."


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu nodded directly to answer the request, which was not too much.


    After Huang Che and other Huang family members heard this, they all looked sad and solemn.


    When Huang Che thought that he was going to die, he felt sad. Kneeling on the ground, he said in a loud voice: "Liu Jingzhou, I''ve been blinded by lard. I dare to murder Liu Jingzhou. I''m really damned. Liu Jingzhou, I''m willing to atone for what I''ve done, and I''m willing to listen to Liu Jingzhou''s arrangement. Please let Liu Jingzhou go around my life! "


    At this moment, Huang Che simply went out. As long as he could live, he would not care about face.


    As long as you survive, that''s the best.


    Seeing this, Pang min endured the pain on his face and begged for mercy: "Liu, Liu Jingzhou, I know I''m wrong. Lao Jiu is also willing to listen to Liu Jingzhou''s arrangement. Liu Jingzhou, Pang family helped you before you rose. Lao Jiu has made some contribution, and there is no merit, but there is also hardship. I hope Liu Jingzhou can open up one side. "


    With Huang Che and Pang min, the rest of the Huang family and Pang family are open.


    Every eye has a look of prayer.


    "Liu Jingzhou, when you were the magistrate of Changsha County, you encountered the problem of food. The grassroots once escorted food for you. I beg Liu Jingzhou to spare a villain."


    "My lord needed help in Changsha County at the beginning, and I also worked hard."


    "My Lord, please let me know."


    "My Lord, there is hard work in spite of credit. Please do me a favor."


    At this time, the Pang family and the Huang family completely left behind their faces. They had long forgotten that they had mobilized the family''s private soldiers to deal with Liu Xiu''s affairs, and they only wanted to survive.


    As long as you survive, that''s good.


    As for dough, how much is it worth?


    Everyone said a word to me, but the three brothers of CAI Zheng sneered after seeing it.


    They all knew that they would die. Cai Zheng sneered: "the Pang family and the Huang family are also Zhong Mingding''s family. They are scholarly families. I didn''t expect that they were all waste products. When a man dies, he dies. It''s just a life. Now, in order to survive, I''m begging for mercy. It''s really pitiful. "


    In a word, the Huang family and Pang family all have a bad eye to each other.


    Everyone glared at Cai Zheng, but prayed to see Liu Xiu, waiting for Liu Xiu''s reply.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "Deng Zhan!"


    "I''m in a humble position!"Deng Zhan came in and bowed himself.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "take the three brothers Cai Zheng, Cai Yu and Cai Yan, as well as Pang min, Huang Che and the Pang family and Huang family leaders involved to the vegetable market and behead them."


    "No!"


    With a wave of his hand, Deng Zhan let the soldiers go down with them.


    Liu Xiu looked at the back of these people, but he knew that this census should be carried out.


    If Huang and Pang didn''t jump out, things would be difficult.


    However, the Huang family and Pang family became prominent and were killed by Liu Xiuxian. This action, will play the role of warning others, can make other families dare not to resist.


    Just imagine, even Pang''s family and Huang''s family suffered, let alone other families?


    Make an example of others!


    This time, we have achieved our goal.


    Liu Xiu can even expect that the killing of the Pang and Huang families this time is a disguised cleansing of the two families, washing away those who do not agree with Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan.


    In the hall, only Liu Xiu, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan were left.


    Liu Xiu got up and said, "teacher, father-in-law, let''s go to the study to talk about things."


    After the three arrived at the study and the attendant served tea, Liu Xiu said, "teacher, father-in-law, the Pang family and the Huang family have suffered great losses because of the thorough investigation of the population. Here, he said sorry to the two teachers."


    He stood up and bowed.


    Although the Pang family and the Huang family started, the reason is that Liu Xiu really touched the interests of the two families.


    Liu Xiu felt guilty at the thought of Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan''s selfless support.


    Pang Degong stroked his beard and shook his head: "Ji Xu, you don''t have to be ashamed. On the contrary, I am the one who should be ashamed. If it were not for my lax restraint, the Pang family would not have rebelled. Fortunately, you are safe this time. If something really goes wrong, I have no face to meet the thousands of people in Jingzhou. "


    Huang Chengyan also said: "Pang Gong''s words are reasonable, and the killing of so many people this time is also a blow to the Huang family. Since the Huang family has followed you, they have gained many intangible benefits. In addition to Yueying, many people in the Huang family have already begun to expand. Killing part of them at this time is also a way for the people of the Huang family to see themselves clearly. "


    Both Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan gave 100% support to Liu Xiu.


    Pang Degong supported Liu Xiu because he wanted to see Liu Xiu''s revival of Han Dynasty and the final peace of the world. Huang Chengyan supported Liu Xiu because Huang Yueying married Liu Xiu and gave birth to Liu Zhen, Liu Xiu''s eldest son.


    They have different starting points, but they have the same goal.


    After listening to them, Liu Xiu felt warm in his heart. It''s enough to have such a teacher! He can get the selfless support of Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan, it has to be said that it is indeed a very valuable asset in his life.


    The three talked about the thorough investigation of the population, and then mentioned something about the lumen Academy.


    Mr. pound put forward some ideas and decided after discussion.


    In the evening, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan had dinner, went to the backyard to see Liu Zhen, the little ancestor, and then left the prefecture with satisfaction.


    It''s enough that this trip can save two ordinary people.

 Chapter 511

    The news that Pang min, Huang Che, Pang Jia and Huang Jia were killed soon spread.


    Even the Pang and Huang families suffered, and other aristocratic families did not dare to resist.


    When it comes to the investigation by the government, they all cooperate honestly. On the contrary, the census was smooth, and there was no more shirking.


    On the contrary, it was the royal guards led by Deng Zhan that caused great turbulence.


    Many poor officials are involved in corruption and bribery, and their buttocks are not clean.


    Liu Xiu sent the royal guards to investigate the matter, but they had no reason to be spared. Some poor officials directly abandoned their officials and fled, while others fought to the death to kill the royal guards.


    As a result, there was a bloody storm all over the country, and countless officials from poor families fell down.


    This clean-up, so that the county officials are shivering.


    What a miserable end for corrupt officials!


    They are more or less involved in the matter of greed for money, but this time the focus is on poor officials, it did not affect them. One by one, they all converged and did not dare to stretch out their hands too much.


    In this great purge, part of the aristocratic families were destroyed and most of the poor officials were killed.


    Iraqis, on the other hand, were dispatching officials, who arranged for new county magistrates to take up their posts to stabilize the situation.


    There was a big clean-up in Jingzhou.


    Both aristocratic families and officials were in awe of Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu is young, but his wrist is quite iron.


    Three months later, the situation gradually subsided.


    On this day, Kuai Liang and Deng Zhan came back to their study. In addition, Pang Tong and Jia Xu also came to their study.


    Kuai Liangzheng was sitting in danger, but his face couldn''t help smiling and said: "Lord, after this big population survey, the population of Jingzhou has suddenly increased by nearly 150000.


    "Hiss!"


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu could not help but gasp.


    150000!


    This data is really a drop in the bucket in future generations, but it is definitely a large number in this era.


    The population of the Eastern Han Dynasty reached its peak in the period of emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, nearly 60 million people. However, in the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, there was a yellow scarf rebellion, followed by four princes and wars, and the population had declined sharply.


    Up to now, the population of the whole country is only about 20 million.


    Suddenly, 150000 people came out of Jingzhou, which will be of great use to Jingzhou.


    Liu Xiu took a deep breath and said, "yes, it seems that a thorough investigation of the population is extremely necessary. This matter has been investigated once now, and then it can be further investigated every three or five years. "


    Brush!


    Kuai Liang''s face changed slightly, a little stiff.


    In this investigation, he has paid his life. Now he has become the enemy of the aristocratic family. Everyone who sees him knows that Kuai Liang is Liu Xiu''s confidant, Liu Xiu''s dog leg, and he helps Liu Xiu deal with the aristocratic family.


    After a few years of investigation, Kuai Liang''s heart is cold.


    Liu Xiu glanced at Kuai Liang, but said nothing more.


    Kuai Liang got on his boat. He couldn''t escape.


    Liu Xiu asked, "Deng Zhan, what about the officials'' investigation?"


    With a serious face, Deng Zhan said, "tell my Lord, about 60% of the poor officials in counties and counties who have been in humble positions have accepted bribes. Some of these people were corrupted by Cao Wei and Sun Quan. They were surrounded by Cao Wei and Sun Quan. "


    Liu Xiuse said: "as for the Cao Wei and Jiangdong spies in Jingzhou, we must dig deep and make things clear."


    "No!"


    Deng zhandeling.


    However, Deng Zhan''s face was full of hesitation.


    When Liu Xiu saw the expression on Deng Zhan''s face, he knew that Deng Zhan still had something to say and said, "what''s the matter, just say it directly, you don''t have to prevaricate."


    Deng Zhan said: "my Lord, I found a problem when I investigated the bribery of poor officials. It is true that some officials from poor families are from poor families. When they suddenly rise to high positions, they lose themselves and wantonly seek talents. But there are also some officials who are different. They really have poor families. In addition, although they have the power to be officials, their salaries are actually not much, and they can only maintain their families. "


    After a pause, Deng Zhan said: "once the family has three diseases and two pains, or something serious, they will encounter problems. Therefore, the humble consideration is whether the salaries of officials can be increased and some preferential treatment given at the same time. "


    This made Liu Xiu''s face serious.


    The high and low salary of officials has been a problem since ancient times.


    There are different advantages and disadvantages in high salary or low salary control, but it is really a difficult thing to grasp.


    In later dynasties, the salary of officials was generally low, but few of them had no money. In the south, the special administrative region has a higher salary and a more strict system.After careful consideration, Liu Xiu looked at Yi Ji, Kuai Liang and others and said, "it''s necessary to consider the matter mentioned by Deng Zhan. Ladies and gentlemen, how should we consider this matter?"


    The expression on people''s faces was solemn.


    It is not easy to solve the problem of official salaries.


    Because officials themselves are already people with certain power, it would be unreasonable to raise their salaries.


    Kuai liang thought about it and said, "Lord, I agree to raise my salary. First, whether they are poor or ordinary officials, when their salaries are high enough, they are relatively less likely to accept bribes. "


    Yi Ji said: "Lord, I agree with you. In the whole Han Dynasty, the salaries of officials are the same. Now Jingzhou has set a precedent. If the salary of officials is raised, it will certainly have the effect of buying horse bones and attracting talents from all over the world. "


    Jia Xu said: "the increase of salary is just a matter of one sentence. There are so many officials in Jingzhou and even Jiaozhou. Once the salary of all officials is increased, it means that Jingzhou will have a great financial burden. In addition, Jingzhou also has to carry out continuous external expeditions. If there is not enough money to support years of war and the salaries of countless officials, there will be great pressure. "


    Liu Xiu heard the speech and nodded slightly.


    Jia Xu''s problem is the key. It''s easy to raise his salary, but he has to have enough money to pay out.


    If there''s no money, that''s the problem.


    Yi Ji said: "the problem of money, in the next three to five years, there should not be too big a problem. The former leader Liu Biao has been in charge of Xiangyang for nearly 20 years since Dong Zhuo came to Luoyang. In the past 20 years, the former Lord has been recuperating. He has left a lot of money and sufficient financial resources in his Treasury. However, we have to consider what to do after five or ten years? We have to open up a wide range of financial channels. "


    After listening to Yi Ji''s words, Liu Xiu felt a little relaxed.


    In three or five years, this is enough to find a new way, especially if he is confident enough to open up.


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s imperative to increase the salary. Mr. Ji Bo and Mr. Zi Rou, you should call the officials to discuss this matter, and then submit a statement for further discussion. As for money, let''s discuss it again. "


    "No!"


    Yi Ji and Kuai Liang bowed their hands and both of them looked solemn.


    It''s a lot easier to raise the salary than the population of checha.


    When they got down, they called the officials to discuss. In less than a day, the news spread in Xiangyang, and then quickly spread to the counties and counties of Jingzhou. All the officials in official positions were happy, especially the most grass-roots officials.


    After three months of discussion, the issue of salary increase was settled.


    Government decrees should be implemented by the prefecture.


    From the salaries of county magistrates, county captains and county officials to the salaries of prefects and county officials, the salaries of all officials in the officialdom system have been increased more or less.


    The highest salary of county magistrate was doubled, and the lowest official position was increased by 50%.


    Since then, the salaries of officials have been greatly improved.


    In addition, a series of decrees were issued, such as how many years I have been an official, I can increase my salary and reward good land. It can be said that the treatment of officials in Jingzhou and Jiaozhou changed dramatically.


    At the same time, the prefectural government promulgated a series of punishment regulations against corruption, bribery, power for personal gains, etc. it is the most severe law and discipline for officials to kill people frequently.


    In particular, the royal guards are like a sword hanging on the top of an official''s head, which makes Jingzhou and Jiaozhou officials put on a tight hoop curse.


    Although the government has increased the payment, it has reduced the amount of corruption and bribery to a certain extent.

 Chapter 512

    Time is like running water, year after year. In a twinkling of an eye, in the spring of 210 A.D., after returning to Jingzhou from Jiaozhou, Liu Xiu temporarily stopped sending troops, focused on recuperation and development of internal affairs.


    Over a year, Jingzhou has developed rapidly.


    In more than a year, Liu Xiu organized the construction of roads to make the official roads of counties more smooth.


    With the smooth flow of roads, Jingzhou''s business is also increasingly prosperous.


    In particular, new paper and printing appeared in Jingzhou. This invention played a great role in Jingzhou''s finance. Whether it is the northern Cao Wei, or Yizhou, or the whole Han Dynasty, the use of paper is new.


    The innovation of paper has brought about the vigorous development of economy.


    Xiangyang hospital and lumen academy are also in constant development, and have developed to all counties.


    In more than a year, Jingzhou has accumulated more grain and money.


    Because of the high salary and clean government, the treatment of officials has been greatly improved in the past year, and the corruption and bribery of officials has indeed been reduced a lot.


    At this time, Jingzhou was very rich.


    Money, money!


    Want food, have food!


    Somebody, somebody.


    In addition, the combat effectiveness of Jingzhou''s major armies is also constantly increasing. Today, Liu Xiu''s power is still limited to Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, but his power is not comparable.


    On this day, Kuai Liang and Yi Ji came to the prefecture.


    Study, please take your seat.


    Kuai Liang said: "my Lord, I''d like to send someone to send back the news. I''d like to ask my Lord to send more Confucians and doctors. Because the Confucian scholars and doctors who had been sent to Jiaozhou had made outstanding achievements, which led to the great governance of all counties in Jiaozhou, and provided many talents for Jiaozhou. Therefore, Shi Xie wants to speed up the pace further, so that all counties in Jiaozhou have academies and hospitals. "


    With a smile on his face, Yi Ji said, "my Lord, the academy and hospital in Jiaozhou are actually quite good things. When all the Confucians teach, they ask the students to be loyal to the Lord and be grateful for everything he gives them. And when these people come out, they are naturally loyal to the Lord. "


    Liu Xiu smiles a little. At the beginning, he asked the academy to do this for the purpose of strengthening loyalty.


    Only when a steady stream of people loyal to Liu Xiu came to power, Liu Xiu''s rule would be more stable.


    Liu Xiu said, "if you have a problem with the Confucians and doctors, you can go directly to the teacher and Mr. Zhong Jinggong. One of them is the president of the academy and the other is the president of the hospital. You can consult with them."


    When Kuai Liang and Yi Ji heard the words, they wrote them down.


    After they left, Liu Xiu was ready to get up and go to the backyard.


    At this time, the attendant came in and said, "Lord, Huang Hu asked to see you."


    Now it seems that the tiger has been moving to a higher position, because Huang is no longer powerful.


    Liu xiudao: "please!"


    The Chamberlain went down to give orders. Soon, the yellow tiger came in.


    Plop!


    Without saying a word, Huang Hu knelt down.


    Liu Xiujian raised his eyebrows, and his face looked incredible. What''s wrong with Huang Hu? He knelt down in front of him. Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "if there is anything, get up first."


    "The Lord doesn''t agree with the end general, and the end will not get up."


    Huang Hu knelt down with a stubborn expression.


    Liu Xiu met Huang Hu for the first time and said, "get up first, and then talk about what happened."


    "No, the Lord must promise me first."


    Huang Hu shook his head, still a muscle.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu''s face suddenly became cold, and his eyes were fixed on Huang Hu without saying a word. Liu Xiuyi face, the temperature in the study will rub rub down, the atmosphere immediately embarrassed. In particular, over the past year, Liu Xiu gradually began to grow a beard, but also a little more dignified. His momentum was extraordinary, which made Huang Hu uneasy.


    Seeing this scene, Huang Hu smiles and stands up.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu''s face was a little softer: "come on, what''s the matter?"


    Huang Hu laughed and said, "Lord, I fell in love with a girl, but his father strongly opposed it. That''s not true. I want to ask my Lord to make a decision to protect the media for me. "


    Liu Xiu suddenly happy, Huang Hu''s purpose is this?


    Huang Hu has been with him for some years. He is still unmarried. It''s a good thing to have someone he likes.


    However, Liu Xiu thought that something was wrong.


    Huang Hu asked the media to promote his marriage. That''s to ask his parents to go. How can he go?


    Liu Xiu asked, "Huzi, do other girls know you?"


    After hearing this, Huang Hu''s mouth twitched and said: "Lord, we are not the kind of tyrants who rob the women of the people, and we will not find people we don''t know. Yinger and I really love each other, but his father doesn''t agree. "


    In Huang Hu''s heart, however, it is very cool.What a failure to be a man!


    He finally had a girl who was in love with each other. He was asked by Liu Xiu if he knew him.


    It seems that he is a tyrant.


    Liu Xiu was also relieved. He was afraid that Huang Hu was a one-sided thing, which was different. It''s a lot easier to be in love now.


    After thinking about it, Liu Xiu said, "you are my general, and your father is the prefect of Jiangxia county. It''s reasonable to say that if your father sends someone to propose, there should be no problem. "


    "Ha ha!"


    Huang Hu smiles and doesn''t speak.


    When Liu Xiu saw this, he thought that there must be something wrong with him.


    Liu xiudao: "tell me, did your father go to propose marriage?"


    Huang Hu nodded and said, "I went to propose marriage, but I was still rejected."


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu felt even more strange. Given Huang Hu''s family background and conditions, as well as the fact that his father and brother all hold important positions, it can be said that Huang Hu is the son-in-law of the golden tortoise, which is definitely worth marrying.


    However, it was rejected.


    It''s weird.


    Liu Xiu asked again, "does a woman''s family have a lot of background? Is he a member of the Jingzhou family? "


    Huang Hu shook his head and said, "no, Ying''er is an ordinary family. Her father is Wang Li, a scholar. Yinger and I fell in love at first sight, and she also liked me, but his father didn''t even agree with me. "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu felt even more impossible.


    Can an ordinary family refuse the Huang family?


    Can an ordinary family not like yellow tiger?


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "you should be honest. What''s the misunderstanding. Otherwise, it''s up to you. I don''t care about you. "


    "Don''t worry, Lord. You''ll be happy all your life."


    Huang Hu shook his head in a pitiful way.


    Liu xiudao: "say it!"


    After hearing this, Huang Hu hesitated and looked embarrassed.


    "Say it


    Liu Xiu increased his voice. It was like thunder, which made Huang Hu shiver.


    Huang Hu scratched his head and said slowly: "in fact, there is a little contradiction between me and my future father-in-law. As we approach the end of the new year, I will think that the general of the flying tiger camp will have time to follow me. My brothers are working hard on the battlefield. "


    "So I will take them to the brothel to drink."


    "I don''t know. When I was drinking in the brothel, I just met my future father-in-law. At that time, although Mo Jiang met Ying''er, he had never met his future father-in-law. "


    "At that time, he was a bit drunk after drinking, and pointed at the women in the brothel and made a lot of remarks. "


    " I can''t stand it. I took my brothers over, picked him up and threw him out. "


    Huang Hu''s face was full of bitterness and said: "I don''t know, he is Yinger''s father. If I had known, I would not have been disrespectful to him, and I would have served him with good food and drink. "


    At this time, the expression on Huang Hu''s face was full of bitterness.


    I''m sorry!


    If he didn''t like Ying''er, he would have let it go.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "since you said it, I can''t just sit back and ignore it. I''ll take care of your marriage. I''ll take care of the media for you. "


    "Thank you, Lord. You are my new parents."


    Huang Hu laughs, and his heart finally relaxes.

 Chapter 513

    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "don''t do this, you boy. Hum, if there''s anything to hide, I''ll take your skin."


    Huang Hu quickly said: "no, absolutely not."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "go and prepare some gifts. When you''re ready, I''ll go with you."


    "Yes


    Huang Hu should go down, turn around and get ready.


    Sitting in his study, Liu Xiu was not thinking about Huang Hu''s marriage, but that it was time to start the war again after more than a year''s recuperation in Jingzhou. Liu Xiu is developing, Liu Xiu''s power is increasing, and Cao Cao and Sun Quan are also making great efforts.


    Which side should we start the next war?


    Jiangdong?


    Fight Nanyang County?


    Dayizhou?


    These are all things Liu Xiu needs to consider. Liu Xiu has to have his own idea first, and then call on his subordinates to discuss and determine, so as to make the next arrangement.


    In a quarter of an hour, Huang Hu came back.


    Huang Hu said: "Lord, we are all ready."


    Liu Xiu asked, "what are you prepared for?"


    "Huang Hu replied:" prepared some supplements, um, bird''s nest ginseng and so on


    Liu Xiu asked, "do you have any wine?"


    "Wine?"


    Confused, Huang Hu said, "what do you do with wine?"


    Liu Xiu would like to pry open Huang Hu''s skull and see what grows in this guy''s brain. He hated iron but not steel: "although ginseng and bird''s nest are valuable, they are also great tonics. But for men, it''s not the best. Why don''t you bring two bottles of good wine to your future father-in-law''s house? Bring some more meat, your ginseng and bird''s nest. That''s OK


    "Ah! Yes, I forgot the good wine. "


    Huang Hu patted his head and said, "Lord, wait a moment. I''ll go to prepare right away."


    After a while, Huang Hu came back.


    With a smile, Huang Hu said, "Lord, we can go."


    Liu Xiu said: "you come back so fast. Did you take the wine from my house?"


    Huang Hu said with a smile, "I went to my mother-in-law. When she heard that I was going to visit my future father-in-law, she immediately gave me a jar of good wine."


    Liu Xiu kicked it out with one kick.


    The yellow tiger man is solid. He doesn''t move when he kicks it. He just smiles.


    Liu Xiu said, "let''s go!"


    They went out of the house one after the other, and then Huang Hu led the way, quarreling with Wang Li''s residence. Wang Li''s residence is in the south of the city. The more the carriage goes south, the more remote it is. After walking for half an hour, she finally comes to a courtyard.


    In this courtyard, the walls were rammed with earth.


    In the yard, there are three rooms in a row.


    But there were voices coming out of the yard. They were the voices of middle-aged women.


    "Wang Ying, his father, Mr. Xu is from a good family. Mr. Xu''s father was a scribe of Xiangyang County Magistrate, who was highly appreciated by the magistrate. Although he is only a petty official now, he is powerful and powerful when he works around the county magistrate. Moreover, the Xu family is also a scholarly family with a very strict style. Your daughter will marry and promise not to suffer. "


    "Uncle Xu, although he has a good family background, he is not very good at dealing with people. I''ll tell you, the young master of the Yamen family in the west of the city. Although Duan yamen is a yamen, it is the Yamen of zhoumu Prefecture after all. The most important thing is that Duan yamen''s son is very filial. If your daughter marries in the past, she will not only have a good life, but also be good to you. "


    "Wang Li, how many people did the old lady see with her eyes. At the beginning, you were married by the old lady. Do you doubt the old lady''s eyes? Lord Qiu, a businessman in the city, is absolutely right. Although Mr. Qiu is a businessman, he also understands poetry and books and respects scholars. Ying''er will study with you. She is knowledgeable and reasonable. She will certainly be respected after she marries her husband. You will also enjoy happiness. "


    At this time, there were women standing in the hall, all matchmakers.


    One by one, she kept persuading Wang Li.


    However, Wang Li looked at it, with a hesitant expression on her face. Because looking at the past, he couldn''t make a decision.


    However, outside the gate, Huang Hu couldn''t help it.


    Huang Hu rushes up in three or two steps and kicks on the gate.


    "Boom!"


    When the gate was kicked open, Huang Hu rushed in. Looking at a group of women standing in the yard, he said in a loud voice: "Wang Ying is a woman that Lao Tzu also married. No one wants to marry her. Hum, otherwise, don''t blame Lao Tzu for not recognizing people."


    Brush!


    One by one matchmaker''s face became extremely embarrassed.


    Anger!


    On everyone''s face, it was full of anger.


    But everyone looked at Wang Li because they didn''t know her attitude towards the young man.


    But Wang Li was full of anger. She stared at Huang Hu and said in a loud voice, "Huang Hu, this is my home. My daughter will not marry you even if she marries a chicken and a dog. Although you are a general in the army and a tiger general under Liu Jingzhou, today''s Liu Jingzhou will never allow you to bully the people. "As soon as the words came out, the matchmakers around immediately had the confidence.


    It turns out that this reckless boy disgusts Wang Li.


    For a moment, everyone had a bottom in their heart.


    "Young man, I''ve eaten more salt than you''ve ever eaten. I''ll see what you look like. I''m afraid that if Yinger follows you, she will be beaten in three days. You''d better leave as soon as possible. "


    "It''s a sweep. It''s a sweep. Wang jiaying''er is a knowledgeable and reasonable person. How can he follow you? Don''t be paranoid, boy. You''re still going back and forth. "


    "His uncle doesn''t welcome you any more. It''s a forced entry. Boy, if we report to the official now, no matter who you are, you will be arrested. "


    Every woman''s tongue is full of words, all of which are against the yellow tiger.


    In their opinion, Wang Li doesn''t have any yellow tiger. That yellow tiger has no chance at all.


    At this time, the yard is like a vegetable market, which is very noisy.


    Liu Xiu stood outside the wall of the courtyard, watching for the moment, but didn''t go in immediately, because he wanted to see if Wang Ying would come out after such a quarrel.


    Suddenly, Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on the door.


    I saw a petite woman come out, she was petite, appearance is also general, but the behavior of foot, appears quiet elegant, has a quiet temperament.


    The woman''s appearance is very common.


    But the body''s temperament, add a lot of color.


    Liu Xiu heart way: "this woman accompanies Huang Hu, pour also similar, just see how she opened a mouth."


    Wang Ying stood behind Wang Li. She bowed down and saluted. Then she looked at all the matchmakers and said, "thank you very much for your kindness. It''s just that Ying''er is too poor to bear the kindness of the elders, so please come back."


    After saying a word, Wang Ying looked at Huang Hu again: "brother tiger, my father is angry. Go back first. Don''t worry, I''ll marry you. "


    In a word, Liu Xiu had a smile on his face.


    A woman is a man of her own mind. From what I''ve just done, it''s not bad.


    Wang Li looks at Wang Ying and stares at her. Then she shouts, "go back to the house!"


    "Yes


    Wang Ying bowed to give a salute, looked at Huang Hu again, and then turned back to the house.


    Matchmaker a said: "his uncle, it''s all the parents'' orders for a woman to get married. How can a matchmaker let her daughter make the decision. This is a parent, but also harm the daughter. You, don''t listen to Ying''er. It''s up to you. "


    Matchmakers didn''t leave, instead, they were full of persuasion and attacked Huang Hu.


    Liu Xiu listened, but stepped in.


    Having seen Wang Ying''s way of dealing with people, Liu Xiu did not investigate any more. After he went in, he looked around the crowd and said in a loud voice, "the person Wang''s daughter married can only be Huang Hu, not your media. Huzi, let''s all go out. "


    "Yes


    Huang Hu grinned and went to the matchmakers.


    He was tall and burly. As soon as he went up, all the matchmakers were scared back. After a while, all of them left.


    Wang Li stares at Liu Xiu and asks, "who are you?"


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "I''m Liu Xiu, a herdsman in Jingzhou. This time, I''m here to protect the media for Huzi."

 Chapter 514

    Wang Li sneered twice and said, "Liu Jingzhou is so overbearing!"


    As a scholar, Wang Li doesn''t have money, but he has backbone. Even in the face of Liu Xiu, there is not a trace of fear and fear. Otherwise, he would not have refused Huang Zu who came to propose marriage.


    Wang Li said: "the world says that Liu Jingzhou is fair and just, but now, Liu Jingzhou is a strong force to drive away the matchmaker for my daughter, which is disappointing."


    The irony in the discourse is fully revealed.


    Eyes, but also disdain.


    For Liu Xiu''s practice, he is quite disappointed that Liu Xiu is not the one he knows.


    Huang Hu couldn''t hear Wang Li slander Liu Xiu. He clenched his fist and breathed quickly. If Wang Li is not Wang Ying''s father, he will go down with one blow. This guy is really hateful.


    Liu Xiu''s face was calm, not anxious, not angry at all.


    Wang Li''s anger is understandable.


    Liu Xiu said lightly: "Mr. Wang, if there is no emotion between Wang Ying and Huang Hu, I will not interfere. But I''m willing to be in love with you, and I''m happy with you. I''m here to have a lover and get married. I''m not here to fight with you. "


    Wang Li listened to Liu Xiu''s words and said: "the order of parents, the words of matchmaker. My daughter, I''m in charge. Even if he marries a chicken and a dog, he can''t marry a yellow tiger. "


    "Why?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Wang Li big sleeve a brush, way: "no why."


    Liu Xiu looked in his eyes and thought, is it because of the brothel?


    If it is such a thing, there is no need to joke about the happiness of the daughter. If it''s really because of this, Wang Li is too narrow-minded.


    Liu Xiu said faintly: "I heard from Hu Zi that the reason why Mr. Wang didn''t marry his daughter was not that he didn''t like Hu Zi. It was because when he was in the brothel, Mr. Wang drank wine and talked wildly, and was thrown out by Hu Zi."


    Brush!


    Wang Li''s face suddenly turned black.


    His face was full of anger.


    Damn boy!


    Wang Li scolds Huang Hu secretly in the heart, in the heart is firmer did not marry the daughter the determination.


    It is absolutely impossible for him to marry his daughter.


    Looking at Wang Li, Liu Xiu continued: "when I saw Mr. Wang just now, he was just like a gentleman. He had the elegant temperament of a scholar, but now he is narrow-minded. It''s really despicable that one''s own selfish and one''s own resentment should be implicated in one''s own daughter. "


    "From this point of view, I have three ideas."


    "First, you are selfish. For their own personal grievances, ignoring her. As the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children, but for your own resentment, your daughter can''t get married, and can''t be with the people you love. It''s contemptible. "


    "Second, you are narrow-minded. The drinking ability of brothels is elegant. When you have a good time, you can write poems and Fu. However, it''s really humiliating for you to talk in public. It''s just a small matter for tiger to throw you out, but you still remember it. It''s really a villain. "


    "Third, you are a scholar in vain. The scholars are honest and upright. But you are selfish and narrow-minded. Although you have read a few books, you don''t have the spirit of a scholar. You don''t deserve to be a scholar. "


    Liu Xiu didn''t care about Wang Li''s face. He was just talking.


    These words pierced Wang Li''s heart.


    "Kick! Kick


    Wang Li''s face was said to be earth colored, but she took two steps back to stabilize her figure.


    Huang Hu''s eyes widened, and his eyes glittered. He said in his heart: the Lord is really powerful, it''s really too powerful. Just with a mouth, even let the arrogant Wang Li face like earth color, it is not a person.


    There''s a chance!


    Huang Hu''s heart is full of expectations.


    Liu Xiu said, "Wang Li, what do you think of my official words?"


    Wang Li took a deep breath and calmed her restless mood. She said: "a bunch of nonsense, it''s all a bunch of nonsense."


    "My Lord, you really misunderstood your father."


    Suddenly, Wang Ying, who has been in the room, comes out. She stands behind Wang Li and bows to Liu Xiuxing. Although she likes yellow tiger, she can''t wait for her father''s reputation to be damaged.


    Wang Lihe: "you go back!"


    Wang Ying is stubborn: "daughter won''t go."


    After a pause, Wang Ying took the initiative to explain: "my Lord, there are two main reasons why my father does not agree with the marriage of Qishen and tiger brother. First, he didn''t like martial arts people and wanted me to marry a scholar. I once had a sister who married a military general. At the beginning, she was very kind, but in the end, she was beaten every day and was killed alive. "


    "Second, my father didn''t like his family. My father wants to find a suitable one. Our Wang family is a small family, and tiger brother is a member of the Huang family after all. My father was worried that I would be rejected after I married, so he firmly opposed it. ""It''s just that I believe in my own eyes. I believe in tiger brother," Wang said


    In a word, simply explained clearly for Wang Li.


    After listening to Liu Xiu, he understood that he saw Huang Hu standing in a daze, secretly scolding a fool.


    Kicking Huang Hu in the leg, Liu Xiu motioned Huang Hu to speak.


    "Ah


    Huang Hu exclaimed, confused.


    This silly boy is totally stupid in chasing women.


    When Liu Xiu saw Huang Hu''s performance, he was completely hopeless. It was more difficult for him to say something to others than to ascend to heaven. Liu Xiu looked at Wang Li and said, "Mr. Wang Li, Hu Zi is a simple man. You should be able to judge him. He is honest and upright, one is one, not a man who disobeys the law. "


    "He said that he would be good to Ying''er. He would certainly put it into action. There would never be anything that would beat Ying''er. I can guarantee that. "


    "Second, although Huzi was born in a noble family, neither huangzu nor Huanghu could be distinguished because of his humble birth. In particular, Huzi is careless. He hasn''t read a few books, and can''t recite a single Analects. If he can marry Yinger, it''s a blessing from Sansheng. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "if Huzi marries Yinger, he will be good to him."


    Huang Hu smell speech, this time he is transparent, immediately put up his right hand, swear: "uncle, I Huang Hu will be good to Ying''er. I swear to heaven that if I don''t treat Ying''er well, if I fail to live up to her, I will die a terrible death. "


    Brush!


    But Wang Ying''s face changed and said, "brother tiger, it''s OK. I swear to do something."


    But in her heart, it was sweet.


    It''s enough for Huang Hu to treat her so sincerely!


    Wang Li listened to Huang Hu''s words, and the tense look on her face also eased down. As the saying goes, there are three feet of gods in raising his head. Huang Hu dares to swear to heaven, which shows his sincerity to Wang Ying.


    Especially this is Liu Xiu''s media, Huang Hu also dare not bully his daughter.


    Wang Li looks at Liu Xiu, big sleeve a brush, way: "female big don''t stay, can''t manage, just, just, I don''t care."


    As soon as she turned around, Wang Li went into the room.


    Liu Xiu smell speech, the face showed a smile, Wang Li although some pedantic, but also good. He looked at Huang Hu, the boy is silly smile, he slapped on the head of Huang Hu: "smelly boy, don''t you hurry to send the wine, meat and gifts in."


    "Yes, I''ll do it right away."


    With a smile, Huang Hu quickly moved in the gifts he had brought.


    Wang Ying bowed her hands and said, "my father is stubborn. He always disagrees with my marriage to tiger brother. Now my father has let go. Thank you


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "it doesn''t matter. It''s just a matter of lifting a hand."


    Wang Ying asked Liu Xiu to stay for dinner, but Liu Xiu declined and left.


    Now that Wang Li has agreed to get married, the estrangement between Huang Hu and Wang Ying is gone. After all these things, the two men must have a lot to say. Liu Xiu stayed, and that was the light bulb. He didn''t want to do such a thing.


    Liu Xiu went back to the prefecture and went to his study to sort out the war.


    With a complete idea, Liu Xiu sent Pang Tong and Jia to the study to discuss the next arrangement.

 Chapter 515

    In the study, Liu Xiu sits at the top.


    Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Kuai Liang and others sat at the bottom, and Deng Zhan was also one of them.


    This time, Liu Xiu''s face was solemn.


    After seeing this, the expression on everyone''s face had a dignified look, because Liu Xiu''s posture, I''m afraid it''s going to be a big fight.


    Liu Xiu said, "please come here to discuss the next use of troops."


    When they heard this, their faces were clear.


    Liu Xiu continued: "after more than a year of recuperation, the strength of both Cao Cao and Sun Quan has developed. Under such circumstances, if we confine ourselves to Jingzhou, we will be waiting to die. If we want to further expand, then we can only start the war. Otherwise, the further we go, the more unfavorable it will be for us. "


    After all, Cao Cao controls the north and has a stronger foundation. Once he is given enough time, he may go south again.


    For Liu Xiu, he does not want to see such a situation.


    As an old minister, Yi Ji also attaches great importance to Jiangdong, a neighbor. Yi Ji said in a deep voice: "Lord, the existence of Jiangdong has always hindered Jingzhou. I suggest that we seize Jiangdong and connect the land of Jiangnan. Then the Lord can take advantage of the situation to go north and fight with Cao Cao in one go. "


    For Yi Ji, Cao Cao was the last thief, and he was sure to win.


    Sun Quan''s position in Jiangdong must be won.


    If we want to win, we should win Jiangdong first.


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly, but looked at other people.


    Kuai Liang said: "my Lord, I think Jiangdong is just a skin disease, so I don''t need to worry about it. Jiangdong is not a big threat to us. But Jiangdong''s help to us is very important. "


    "It''s true that Jiangdong and Jingzhou are opposite, but Jiangdong and Jingzhou face Cao Cao at the same time."


    "As long as Jiangdong exists, the front lines of Yangzhou and Xuzhou will contain Cao Cao''s army and make Cao Cao dare not relax."


    "Once we attack Jiangdong, we have to resist Cao Cao."


    "Based on the current foundation of Jingzhou, it is unrealistic to maintain such a wide display and resist such a strong Cao Cao. Therefore, in the case of Cao Cao''s great potential, Jiangdong can only suppress, not completely eliminate. "


    Kuai Liang looked firm and said, "I suggest that we should unite with Jiangdong to fight against Cao Cao. No matter whether Jiangdong sends troops or not, we can go north to Nanyang County, seize the whole Nanyang County first, and then go straight to Xuchang. "


    For this arrangement, Liu Xiu thought about it, there is a certain truth.


    However, Liu Xiu once discussed with Pang Degong, and he has certain views on the situation.


    If we attack Cao Cao in an all-round way, Liu Xiu is in a weak position. Whether it''s food, or talent, or foundation, it''s far from enough, or can''t compare with Cao Cao.


    Liu Xiu just nodded and didn''t speak.


    Kuai Liang''s suggestion is better than that of Yi Ji, but it doesn''t accord with his mind.


    Liu Xiu looked at Pang Tong and Jia Xu, and only heard Pang Tong say: "my Lord, I think Mr. Zi Rou''s analysis is reasonable, but it''s not to attack Cao Cao, but to unite with Jiangdong to resist Cao Cao. At present, we only need to hold the Nanyang County boundary that has been occupied. The focus now should be to win a major rear area. "


    Liu Xiu eyes a bright, way: "scholar yuan plan will settle?"


    Pang Tong said slowly: "although Jiaozhou is located in a remote area, its land is fertile. Under the governance of the Lord, Jiaozhou has been able to provide certain food and military resources for the Lord. However, Jiaozhou is not developed enough to become a real rear area."


    "So I suggest that it''s time to capture Yizhou."


    "As long as Yizhou is under the control of the Lord and Yizhou, Jingzhou and Jiaozhou are linked together, the Lord will control half of the country, not the North controlled by Cao Cao."


    Pang Tong''s eyes twinkled, and said: "emperor Gao Liu Bang came out of Hanzhong in the north, and finally had a fight with Xiang Yu. The Lord captured the land of Yizhou, and he also had the foundation to fight against Cao Cao. "


    There was a smile on Liu Xiu''s face. Pang Tong''s analysis hit him right.


    At present, it is the most appropriate to win Yizhou.


    After the rest of the people heard this, they also suddenly realized.


    Liu Zhang of Yizhou, in the west of Jingzhou, has always been ignorant and incompetent. If Liu Xiu does not take such a place, it will be heaven''s fault instead of taking it.


    Kuai Liang changed his words: "Shi Yuan''s analysis is indeed reasonable, and his humble position agrees with it."


    Yi Ji said: "although Jingzhou''s four battle positions have been held, there is no strategic depth of retreat after all. He also agreed with Pang Junshi''s analysis that he would capture Yizhou first and then attack Cao Cao. "


    Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and said slowly, "my Lord, I agree with Mr. Pang''s analysis. But before that, I think we should make an alliance with Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. "


    As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a burst of discussion.


    Liu Xiu also has a slight eyebrow jitter, which he did not consider.


    Zhang Lu!


    Liu Xiu thought rotation, asked: "why?"Jia Xu said: "the Lord''s attack on Yizhou is like a fierce tiger coming out of the mountain. Let alone Zhang Lu, even Cao Cao would be shocked. Under such circumstances, Zhang Lu must be terrified. He is afraid that the Lord will point his soldiers at him after he has cleaned up Liu Zhang. "


    "Therefore, before the Lord captured Yizhou, he must stabilize Zhang Lu."


    "Otherwise, Zhang Lu directly attacked the Lord, or Zhang Lu turned to Cao Cao, which would add countless variables to the Lord''s capture of Yizhou and make the situation more complicated."


    Jia Xu said: "now we can stabilize Zhang Lu and form an alliance with Zhang Lu. On the one hand, we can strengthen Zhang Lu''s determination to resist Cao Cao; on the other hand, we can agree to carve up Yizhou with Zhang Lu."


    "There is a contradiction between Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang. If the Lord attacks Liu Zhang, he will try his best to resist Cao Cao and help him attack Liu Zhang."


    With a smile on his lips, Jia Xu said, "after the Lord has killed Liu Zhang, it''s not easy to kill Zhang Lu."


    Pang Tong caressed his hand and said, "wonderful, wonderful!"


    Kuai Liang''s eyes also twinkled with brilliance, and said: "this is the best way to save our troops."


    Yi Ji said: "the plan of the military adviser Jia is really very resourceful."


    After hearing this, the expression on people''s faces was quite surprised.


    One by one also thinks that this is the most appropriate strategy, which can save Jingzhou''s troops to the greatest extent, attack Yizhou to the greatest extent, and resist the attack from Cao Cao.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "the words of master Jia are indeed the tactics of a veteran."


    "To attack Yizhou, make an alliance with Zhang Lu first."


    "This battle, then began to prepare."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Kuai Liang and Yi Ji and said, "Kuai Liang and Yi Ji listen to orders."


    "I''m in a humble position!"


    They sat upright at the same time and listened to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said, "I want you two to prepare food and grass for the army immediately. At the same time, you two are still in the back guard."


    "No!"


    Kuai Liang and Yi Ji should go down. It''s a convention for them to stay in town.


    "Deng Zhan, listen to the order!"


    Liu Xiu ordered again.


    "I''m in a humble position!"


    Deng Zhan stood up and saluted.


    Liu Xiu said: "you should mobilize the soldiers of the royal guards to visit Zhang Lu in Hanzhong county and explain to him the will of our official to form an alliance with him. If he wants, I will meet you at the junction of Hanzhong and Nanyang. "


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan got the order and agreed.


    Liu Xiu looked at Jia Xu again and said, "Mr. Jia, you should immediately mobilize personnel and contact Fazheng, Zhang Song and others in Chengdu to explain what we are going to do. Let them be ready and listen to orders at any time."


    "No!"


    Jia Xu also bowed his hand.


    Liu Xiu finally looked at Pang Tong and said, "Pang Army division, you mobilize your soldiers, contact Lu Su, the Third Army division stationed in Wuling County, and let them prepare to send troops near Yizhou."


    "No!"


    Pang Gong also bowed his hand.


    If Liu Xiu wants to move Yizhou, it is impossible for an army to send troops.


    The Third Army led by Zhao Yun and Lu Su had been stationed in Wuling County for many years, and they had been preparing for planning Yizhou. After all these years, it''s time to make a move.


    Both Zhao Yun and Lu Su are excellent talents.


    Liu Xiu believed that he could enter Yizhou in a very short time.

 Chapter 516

    Hanzhong County, Nanzheng County.


    Under the rule of the Great Han Dynasty, Hanzhong was called Hanzhong County, but after Zhang Lu''s separate rule, Hanzhong was called Hanning county.


    In the city, the government office.


    In the hall, Zhang Luzhao gathered his generals.


    Under Zhang Lu''s command, there were the meritorious Cao Yanpu, the counselor Yang Song, and the generals Yang Bai, Yang ang, Yang Ren, etc.


    Zhang Lu Su came to be kind and kind, and his royal subordinates were relatively relaxed. He looked at the civil and military officials under his command and said, "my teacher has just got the news. Liu Xiu sent someone to send a message. He wants to make an alliance with my teacher and attack Liu Zhang in Yizhou."


    Shijun is Zhang Lu''s name.


    Zhang Lu is not only the tenth grandson of Zhang Liang in the Western Han Dynasty, but also the grandson of Zhang Ling.


    After Zhang Lu was in Hanzhong, he spread wudoumi Taoism and called himself "Shijun". Compared with the strictness of other sects, Zhang Lu''s wudoumi road is relatively loose, and he only needs to pay wudoumi to enter the road.


    Zhang Lu governed Hanzhong by religion, the criminal law was not strict, and taxes were not heavy, so Hanzhong was relatively peaceful, and countless people supported Zhang Lu.


    After listening to Zhang Lu''s words, Yang Bai immediately said, "Lord, I think alliance is a good thing."


    After the alliance, we will attack Liu Zhang. Only when there is war can we get credit.


    Therefore, Yang Botou agreed.


    Yang ang, Yang Ren and other generals also joined in one after another.


    All the generals agreed to form an alliance and planned to fight Liu Zhang.


    Zhang Lu looked at Yan Pu and asked, "what do you think of Yan Gongcao?"


    Yan Pu said, "you can make an alliance. On the one hand, the Lord only controls Hanzhong, which is really not strong enough. If we can take another part of the territory, the foundation of the Lord will be more stable. On the other hand, when the Lord and Liu Xiu make an alliance, Liu Xiu can also send troops to help resist Cao Cao, because Cao Cao is also Liu Xiu''s enemy. "


    Zhang Lu nodded slightly.


    Yang Song said: "Lord, at the beginning, Liu Zhang broke his heart and killed the old lady and others. Such a vengeance is inevitable. Today, Liu Xiu took the initiative to form an alliance, a good opportunity to avenge himself. "


    Zhang Lu suddenly clenched his fist.


    When Liu Zhang was in Hanzhong at the beginning, he got Liu Zhang''s order. However, Zhang Lu thought that Liu Zhang''s order was totally a blind command, and it was a layman commanding an expert. Therefore, Zhang Lu did not carry out Liu Zhang''s order.


    Who knows, Liu Zhang killed Zhang Lu''s mother, brother and family.


    All the family members died in the hands of Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang has not forgotten this hatred.


    Zhang Lu''s eyes were full of blood. He said in a deep voice, "well, I''ll make an alliance with Liu Xiu."


    "Somebody


    Zhang Lu called out and saw a soldier come in. He said, "please ask Liu Xiu''s envoy to come in."


    The soldiers went down, and soon a young man came in. The young man was a captain in the royal guards. He bowed his hand to Zhang Lu and said, "I''ve met the prefect Zhang!"


    Zhang Lu said: "I agree to form an alliance with Liu Jingzhou. As for the alliance that Liu Jingzhou said, I don''t think it''s necessary."


    All of a sudden, Yang Song stood up and said, "my Lord, we should unite."


    "Well!"


    Zhang Lu frowned slightly, with a trace of displeasure in his eyes.


    When he was talking, Yang Song stepped out to interrupt. He was really bold.


    Yang Song looked calm and said slowly: "since my Lord wants to make a alliance with Liu Xiu, it''s better to see him. After all, the two sides should also discuss how to dispatch troops and divide the territory of Yizhou. Otherwise, we can''t occupy the place where we fight. This is really inappropriate. "


    Zhang Lu thought about it and agreed with Yang Song''s proposal.


    After a little thought, Zhang Lu said, "go back and tell Liu Xiu that our official and he will form an alliance in the area at the junction of Fangling county and Zhonglu county."


    "No!"


    The captain of the Royal Guards was ordered to turn around and leave.


    Zhang Lu looked at the people under his command and said, "where is Zhang Wei?"


    "The end will be here!"


    Zhang Wei stepped forward and saluted. Zhang Wei is a little younger than Zhang Lu. He is Zhang Lu''s brother. At the beginning, Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei survived in Hanzhong, and the rest of their families were killed by Liu Zhang''s knife.


    Zhang Lu said, "you stay in Nanzheng County. I''ll take Yan Pu, Yang Song and Yang Bai to the alliance."


    "No!"


    Zhang Wei is the younger brother of Zhang Lu. Only when he is in Nanzheng can Zhang Lu rest assured. The next morning, Zhang Lu left Nanzheng County with a battalion of 500 soldiers and went to Fangling county.


    ¡­¡­


    Jingzhou, Xiangyang.


    After the news came back, Liu Xiu took Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Huang Hu and Deng Zhan to Zhonglu county.


    Zhonglu county is not far from Xiangyang.


    In less than a day, Liu Xiu and his party have arrived in Zhonglu county.


    After a night''s rest in the county, Liu Xiu and his party headed for the border between Zhonglu county and Fangling county.Liu Xiu arrived earlier. On the third day of Liu Xiu''s arrival, Zhang Lu arrived with his team.


    At the junction, the two sides meet.


    When Liu Xiu met Zhang Lu, he said with a smile, "it''s better to meet than to hear. Today, when I see Shijun, I''m really a generous and kind man. When I was in Jingzhou, I heard that Shijun was in charge of Hanzhong, and he was in charge of wudoumi road. It can be said that the government was in harmony with the people, and the people were in peace. When I meet Shijun today, Shijun must teach me some experience. "


    After Zhang Lu listened, his face immediately emerged with glory.


    A touch of joy breeds in the heart.


    It is a great innovation of Zhang Lu to govern Hanzhong in the way of five Dou Mi Dao. At the same time, Zhang Lu was even more honored to know Liu Xiu.


    Zhang Lu said with a smile: "Liu Jingzhou''s young talents are admired by our teacher. It is admirable that Cao Cao was defeated by Liu Jingzhou. If Liu Jingzhou wants to understand wudoumi Dao, he should give it all to himself. "


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s a great honor for me to do so."


    After that, Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Shijun, please sit down!"


    At the junction, carpets and tables have already been laid.


    When the two sides sat down, Liu Xiu said straight to the point: "the first reason for this alliance with Shijun is that since Shijun was in charge of Hanzhong, he had a good command of politics and a harmonious relationship with people. He would not be stabbed in the back if he made an alliance with such a benevolent gentleman as Shijun."


    "At the beginning, Liu Zhang was eager to make an alliance with me, but in the end, he turned his face and didn''t recognize people. He directly attacked Jingzhou."


    "Think about it, it''s all cold."


    Liu Xiu said, "but I''m relieved to make a alliance with Shijun."


    "Second, both my official and Shijun hated Liu Zhang. I hated Liu Zhang''s caprice and disobedience. The same is true of Shijun. He and Liu Zhang are enemies of the country and the family. You and I are the most suitable allies. "


    "Third, Liu Zhang had no virtue and stole Yizhou, which made people angry. Such people do not deserve to stay in Yizhou. "


    Liu Xiu''s eyes twinkled with light, and said: "the alliance between my official and Shijun is to win Yizhou at one stroke, save the people in Yizhou, so that the people can live a peaceful life."


    After Zhang Lu heard this, Liu xiuhao, the secret way, said.


    It is clear that Yizhou is to be captured, but it is a lot of truth.


    He is worthy of being able to resist Cao Cao.


    Zhang Lu did not beat around the Bush, but also said straight to the point: "of course, my official is willing to make an alliance with Liu Jingzhou to fight against Liu Zhang. It''s just about sending troops. How should we send troops? How many troops do you and I send each other, and how should Yizhou be divided? "


    The purpose of attacking Liu Zhang was to gain profits.


    Therefore, the most fundamental thing is interests.


    In this regard, we must achieve a clear division and avoid conflicts afterwards.


    Liu Xiu gave a thumbs up and praised: "Shijun is really forward-looking. It''s just as the saying goes that our brothers are clear about the accounts. We should make a good decision in advance to avoid subsequent disputes."


    Zhang Lu laughed, then waved: "come on, take the map."


    As the voice fell, the soldier came up with a map and spread it between the tables of Liu Xiu and Zhang Lu. The map of this battle is not a small one. It''s just a map within Yizhou. It''s two feet long and wide. The mountains and rivers on the map are quite detailed.


    Liu Xiu saw the map and raised his eyebrows.


    Zhang Lu had such a detailed map of Yizhou. It seems that he had planned for Yizhou for a long time.


    Otherwise, Zhang Lu will not prepare ahead of time.


    However, the more greedy Zhang Lu was and the more he wanted to win Yizhou, the happier Liu Xiu was, because only in this way could Liu Xiu rest assured of Zhang Lu, and Zhang Lu would do his best.


    Liu Xiu pointed to the map and said, "since Shijun has prepared the map, he must have a draft. Shijun said, "how do you plan to divide Yizhou in the future?"

 Chapter 517

    Yang Song stood up from behind Zhang Lu, holding a stick in his hand, stood beside the map and said, "Liu Jingzhou, the Lord''s requirements are very simple. As long as Ba County, Guanghan county and Shu county are all owned by Liu Jingzhou."


    "Ha, it''s a lion''s mouth."


    The voice falls, Huo Jun already stood up.


    This time, Liu Xiu came to join the alliance and brought Huo Jun with him.


    Huo Jun pointed to Ba County on the map, made a comparison in the air, and said: "Ba County covers an extremely large area, which is several times as large as Shu County, and even larger than Hanzhong county. Among other things, Bajun alone is a great benefit. "


    Huo Jun turned to look at Zhang Lu and said, "Shijun, it''s better for Jingzhou to have only one Ba County. How about giving the rest to Shijun?"


    This is an aggressive statement.


    In the words, there has been a trace of edge.


    After listening to Huo Jun''s words, Liu Xiu raised his mouth slightly with a touch of appreciation.


    Huo Jun''s rhetorical question is quite ingenious.


    Bajun from south to north, almost runs through the east of Yizhou, and then borders Jingzhou. Once the whole Ba County is under Liu Xiu''s control, it will be easy for Liu Xiu to start other places in Yizhou. Even the border between Bajun and Hanzhong is a threat to Hanzhong.


    Yang Song looked embarrassed and said, "may I have your name, please?"


    Huo Jun replied, "I''m Huojun."


    Yang Song nodded slightly and said, "you don''t know. Although Bajun is a vast area, many of them are under the control of the Lord. It''s equivalent to taking only a small part this time. I''m not asking too much. "


    Huo Jun shook his head and said, "Sir, I think you are asking too much."


    Yang Song said: "a bunch of nonsense."


    Huo Jun looked calm and said, "there are three reasons why I say that."


    "First of all, it''s sinister. It can be seen from the map that Bajun runs through the north and south of Yizhou. Even Bajun borders Jingzhou. "


    "Under such circumstances, the connection between Jingzhou and Yizhou has been cut off."


    "Don''t you mean to give Jingzhou places outside Bajun, Guanghan and Shujun? Jingzhou''s army is left alone. We can''t look at each other head and tail at all. Maybe Shijun''s army has destroyed our troops stationed in various places. We don''t know yet. "


    The expression on Huo Jun''s face was quite serious.


    The words moved everyone.


    Yang Song shook his head and said, "don''t worry, sir. It''s impossible for such a thing to happen."


    But Huo Jun said: "people are separated from each other. Who can know? At the beginning of the alliance between the Lord and Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang vowed to help each other? As a result, the LORD was attacked, and Liu Zhang did not send troops at all. Even in the end, Liu Zhang openly sent troops to invade Jingzhou, which is really disgusting.


    Yang Song''s mouth twitched slightly. Although he was young, his words were sharp.


    The situation made him irresistible.


    Zhang Lu is also frowning, he is gentle, to people and things are quite peaceful. After listening to Huo Jun''s words, I also feel that Yang Song''s proposal is too much.


    After all, Bajun is the largest.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes are full of surprises.


    Let Huo Jun to bargain, is to exercise Huo Jun, did not expect Huo Jun can be so sharp.


    Facing the crowd, Huo Jun looked calm and said slowly: "second, selfishness."


    "The Lord is sincere enough to join Shijun in attacking Liu Zhang."


    "On the one hand, the Lord first sent someone to inform Shijun; on the other hand, the Lord chose to join the alliance himself. But what about Shijun? The rest of the land was occupied by the Lord of Bashu and qianhan


    "Qianwei, Kejun and other places are all remote mountainous areas."


    "Such a place is sparsely populated, and the people are still uncivilized."


    Huo Junyue said that he was more and more angry. He said in a loud voice: "is this division bullying my lord? Ah, it''s really irritating. It is said that Shijun is a modest gentleman and a benevolent ruler. Now it seems that he is too disappointing. "


    Brush!


    Zhang Lu''s expression became rather awkward.


    In fact, the richest places in Yizhou are Hanzhong, Bajun, Guanghan and Shujun. Other places are relatively more remote and mostly mountainous.


    Such a place is really not good.


    Now, it''s not proper for Zhang Lu to take the best and give the worst to Liu Xiu.


    Huo Jun''s eyes narrowed, as if a murderous spirit was born on him. He continued: "third, it''s not benevolent and unjust. It can be said that this is revenge for the master. "


    "The Lord is kind to Shijun."


    "It is the so-called kindness of dripping water that should be rewarded by Yongquan, but what about Shijun?"Huo Jun looked disappointed and said: "Shijun''s practice is to treat the Lord and Jingzhou harshly. This is not what a benevolent and righteous Lord should do. "


    With these words, Zhang Lu has a big face.


    His face was hot, as if he had been slapped in the face, and he felt guilty.


    Yan Pu sits beside Zhang Lu and looks at him. He praises Huo Jun in his heart. His mouth is really powerful. A few words make Zhang Lu feel guilty, which is not what ordinary people can do.


    In fact, Yan Pu did not approve of Yang Song''s proposal.


    Who is Liu Xiu?


    Liu Xiu can defeat Cao Cao, can defeat Sun Quan, can make Liu Bei like a lost dog It is impossible for such a person to take advantage of others.


    Therefore, Yan Pu did not support Yang Song.


    However, Yang Song vowed in front of Zhang Lu, and he was too lazy to argue with Yang Song.


    Liu Xiu looks at Zhang Lu and then at Huo Jun. He praised Huo Jun''s performance in his heart, but his face suddenly became serious and said in a deep voice: "Huo Jun, you can''t be rude, and you can''t retreat."


    "No!"


    Huo Jun glared at Yang Song angrily, then retreated.


    Liu Xiu''s face softened again and said, "Shijun, Huo Jun is rude. Please bear with me more."


    Zhang Lu waved his hand and said, "no harm, no harm!"


    However, the expression on Zhang Lu''s face was very embarrassed and embarrassed. He glared at Yang Song. He was such a fool. It was a shame that he was such a lion.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "Shijun, Huo Jun is impulsive, but his words are not rough. His analysis is also reasonable. I can''t agree with Yang Song''s terms. "


    "Even if it was because of Shijun''s face, I agreed."


    "But the generals will not agree."


    "At that time, it will affect the friendship of our alliance."


    Liu Xiu''s posture was very low, and said: "so when we consider this official, can Shijun put forward a reasonable division condition again, so that we can have a further discussion. After all, when the two sides make an alliance, they need to be honest with each other. "


    What he said was neither humble nor overbearing. On the contrary, it seemed that Zhang Lu was rude.


    Yan Pu heard that Liu Xiu was cunning.


    Huo Jun comes out to play a red face and accuses Zhang Lu everywhere, which makes Zhang Lu feel guilty. However, Liu Xiu comes out and takes the initiative to resolve Zhang Lu''s embarrassment, and then kindly proposes to reconsider.


    This attitude, on the contrary, made Zhang Lu more difficult.


    Cunning!


    Yan Pu had heard that Liu Xiu was as cunning as a fox for a long time. Today he saw it. Yan Pu can be sure that Liu Xiu must have figured out Zhang Lu''s character before, and then formulated such a dialogue strategy.


    Yan Pu looks at the embarrassed Yang Song, but he doesn''t go up to get rid of the encirclement. These are all things Yang Song has done himself, so let Yang Song solve them by himself.


    After thinking about it, Zhang Lu said: "Liu Jingzhou came to the alliance with sincerity. I can''t be too stingy. Well, Liu Jingzhou proposed how to divide Yizhou, and my official directly agreed. "


    As soon as the words came out, the officials in Hanzhong changed color one after another.


    Zhang Lu gave up too much interest.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed after hearing this. He secretly scolded Zhang Lu for his cunning. If Liu Xiu has put forward excessive demands now, it will turn out that Liu Xiu is not benevolent and righteous. Therefore, Liu Xiu is not good at making demands.

 Chapter 518

    However, Liu Xiu had made preparations.


    When it comes to the division of Yizhou, he has already discussed with Pang Tong and Jia Xu.


    Moreover, this division has benefited Zhang Lu.


    According to Pang Tong''s words, Zhang Lu has to be benefited if he wants to be a director. Liu Xiu looks at Huojun and nods slightly. Then he sees Huojun go out again.


    Huo Jun bowed his hand to Zhang Lu and said in a loud voice: "Shijun, the division of Yizhou is like this."


    With these words, he took a strip and landed it on the map of Quren county.


    Huo Jun said: "the regional division of the two sides, from Ba County, Quren county to Dangqu County in the west, and then to the north of Anhan County, belongs to Shijun, and to the South belongs to the Lord."


    "The territory of Guanghan County in the west of Ba County, from Guanghan county to Xindu County in the west, belongs to Shijun in the north and Lord in the south."


    "In Shu County on the back of Guanghan County, from Pixian County to Chengdu County, it belongs to Shijun in the north, and the Lord in the south."


    Huo Jun distinguished the whole county, and then he stood with his hands down.


    He has explained the whole division in detail, but how to decide depends on Zhang Lu.


    After listening to this, Yang Song couldn''t wait to say, "Liu Jingzhou, Huo Jun said that Shijun doesn''t talk about benevolence and righteousness. Does your division talk about benevolence and righteousness? According to Huo Jun''s division, three fifths of the territory of Yizhou is on your side, even this proportion is not only so. Your people say that Shijun is not benevolent, so are you. "


    What Huo Jun said just now made Yang Song''s head bleed.


    Throughout, Huo Jun was silent.


    Now Huo Jun said the division method, Yang Song finally found the opportunity to fight back. For a moment, Yang Song was elated. He looked forward to Liu Xiu''s reply.


    Zhang Lu did not open his mouth, but acquiesced to Yang Song''s words.


    Zhang Lu also thinks that Liu Xiu''s work is not authentic, which is too much of one thing over the other.


    Huo Jun hears the speech, just ready to refute, then listen to Liu Xiu said: "Huo Jun back, since Yang Song has doubts, even Shijun also think Liu Xiu is not authentic, then Liu Xiu will explain."


    Yang Song big sleeve a brush, carrying hands: "Liu Jingzhou please!"


    At the moment, Yang Song is full of expectations.


    He would like to see how Liu Xiu plans to end up and how he plans to make it through.


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Lu with a sincere look and said slowly, "Shijun, there are three reasons for this division."


    "First, the difference between the north and the south of Yizhou. Although the area from Quren county to the north of Pixian County is smaller, it is better in the north in terms of population, economic base and terrain. In the north, the area is more flat and the population is more concentrated. In contrast, in the south, Qianwei, juke and other places, they are deserted and have few people. "


    "Under such circumstances, although the southern area is wider, what''s the use? To have a population without a population, to pay taxes without taxes, to have food without food. The only advantage is a good strategic depth. When the enemy attacks, they can retreat and hide in it. "


    "For this reason, Shijun occupies less space, but from another point of view, Shijun has more advantages," Liu said


    After listening to Liu Xiu''s words, Zhang Lu''s frown unfolded slightly.


    That''s true.


    Because of the geographical location, the Southern Hills and hillsides of Yizhou are full of poor mountains and evil waters, and there are not many plains. The only plain, that is, the area where Chengdu is located, is flat, but it occupies very little area.


    After listening to Liu Xiu''s words, Yang Song frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Liu Jingzhou is eloquent. What''s the second reason?"


    Liu Xiu looked calm and said slowly: "the second reason is to attack Yizhou this time. For Shijun, there should be only one army going south from Nanzheng County to Guanghan county and directly into Chengdu. Is that right? "


    "Yes


    Zhang Lu did not deny that he had to defend Hanzhong as well as Cao Cao. He could only send an army.


    Liu Xiu raised his hand, put up his right index finger and middle finger, and said: "Shijun only sent one army, but my officer sent two. The first army will send troops from Fuling County, Bajun county to Chengdu; the second army will send troops from Wuxian County, Nanjun County, Jingzhou county to Yufu County, Bajun county to Chengdu. "


    "To some extent, the two armies have helped Shijun to occupy Quren county and the north of Dangqu county."


    "In terms of military strength, it is natural that our own officers should pay more."


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Lu and said seriously: "I have paid more troops and given my ba Jun land to Shijun. Isn''t this friendship worth the land in the south?"


    Zhang Lu nodded, and his face was moved and ashamed.


    The heart of a villain is the belly of a gentleman!


    This time, he did such a thing.


    Zhang Lu thought Liu Xiu wanted to take advantage, but he didn''t expect that Liu Xiu was so sincere and ashamed.After listening to Liu Xiu''s words, the smile on Yang Song''s face had already disappeared, replaced by a stiff look. He clenched his fist and was furious. Unexpectedly, he was refuted by Liu Xiu and slapped in the face by Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu continued: "the third reason,..."


    As soon as the words came out, Zhang Lu said, "needless to say, Liu Jingzhou is divided according to Huo Jun''s proposal. After taking Yizhou, Quren county to the north of Pixian County belongs to Shijun, and to the South belongs to liujingzhou. Even the counties involved are all attributed to Liu Jingzhou. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Shijun, I''d better finish. This matter is clear. After Shijun goes back, the officials under his command will not question it. Otherwise, Shijun will have to face the questions of the officials when he goes back to Nanzheng County."


    "Who dares to question?"


    Zhang Lu''s expression suddenly became cold, and he had a brilliant bearing.


    Zhang Lu''s big sleeve flicked and said: "Liu Jingzhou, I don''t need to talk about the rest. The division of Yizhou''s territory is so decided that it won''t be changed any more. Jingzhou army has sent two troops to Jingzhou. If my master is still holding it, then he is really an evil person. "


    Liu Xiu smile, said: "so, I am not respectful."


    Yan Pu sees everything about Liu Xiu in his eyes, but he is extremely afraid of Liu Xiu in his heart.


    Cunning!


    Cunning!


    At this time, Yan Pu''s evaluation of Liu Xiu.


    Yan Pu''s heart even guessed that Liu Xiu might have expected Zhang Lu to open his mouth at the beginning, or he had already been waiting. As soon as Zhang Lu''s people spoke big words, they would go on as before.


    All this, Yan Pu thinks is Liu Xiu''s stratagem.


    The whole process is under Liu Xiu''s control.


    Yan Pu took a deep breath, he did not participate in anything, and in Yan Pu''s view, Liu Xiu''s delimitation of the area is reasonable, not too strong.


    Liu Xiu big sleeve a whisk, command a way: "come a person, bring wine."


    As the voice fell, the soldier came with a plate in his hand, in which there was a wine pot and two cups.


    Liu Xiu picked up the jug and poured two glasses of wine.


    Liu Xiu picked up the glass and said, "Shijun, this glass of wine is to wish us an alliance, sincere cooperation, to win Yizhou together and eradicate Liu Zhang."


    "Yiliu!"


    Liu Xiu took the lead in drinking wine.


    This action naturally proves that there is no poison in the wine.


    Liu Xiu poured himself a glass of wine again, and then asked the soldiers to go to Zhang Lu with a plate.


    Zhang Lu saw Liu Xiu drink wine, naturally no longer doubt, but also from the wine, said: "Liu Jingzhou, please."


    "Please


    They had a drink and made a pact.


    As soon as the words changed, Zhang Lu said, "Liu Jingzhou, I have something to ask for."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Shijun, please say it."


    With a smile on his face, Zhang Lu said faintly, "what I want to say is that if Liu Jingzhou leads the army to attack Chengdu first and takes Liu Zhang, I sincerely ask Liu Jingzhou to hand over Liu Zhang to me."


    Liu Xiumei frowned and said, "Shijun, I''m really embarrassed when it comes to this."


    "Why?"


    Zhang Lu frowned. Liu Zhang was a betrayer to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu will not have any burden to kill Liu Zhang. As for handing Liu Zhang over to him, it''s a matter of pushing the boat with the current.

 Chapter 519

    For Liu Xiu, Zhang Lu''s impression is very good.


    Liu Zhang hated him for breaking his family. Zhang Lu made a reasonable request for Liu Xiu to hand over Liu Zhang.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu refused directly.


    Zhang Lu''s face darkened and said, "Liu Jingzhou, it''s not too much for me to ask. If you don''t think it''s appropriate, give a reasonable reason. "


    Yang Song felt that he had caught Liu Xiu''s loophole, and even hurriedly said, "Liu Jingzhou, Shijun treats you sincerely, but you say you are in a dilemma. It''s really disappointing. What about your sincerity? It''s time for you to show your sincerity. "


    Yang Song had been slapped in the face before, and now he is jumping up and down to fight back.


    Anyway, he is not afraid of Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu took a look at Yang Song and said faintly, "Shijun, are all the people under your command so indifferent? If Yang Song is under the command of this official, he will be slapped in the face, or he will be punished 20 times. What''s the rule when the Lord talks with his subordinates? Shijun, you can see that the people under the command of this officer cut in at will. "


    A word choked Zhang Lu''s face.


    Shame!


    Yang Song disgraced Zhang Lu.


    Zhang Lu scolded: "Yang Song, don''t you apologize to Liu Jingzhou?"


    At that time, Yang Song was cold.


    How is that possible?


    All he did was for Zhang Lu. Now Zhang Lu asked him to apologize. Yang Song saw the chill on Zhang Lu''s face, but he could not help shivering. He quickly bowed his hand to Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Jingzhou, I''m sorry."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "step back!"


    "No!"


    Yang Song retreats to Zhang Lu''s back, his eyes are venomous, but he dares to be angry.


    Liu Xiu then looked at Zhang Lu, and he said slowly, "the reason why my official didn''t dare to accept Shijun about Liu Zhang is that when Zhang Ren was subordinated to my official, he made a request to my official."


    Zhang Ren?


    Zhang Lu thought about it, and he already remembered it in his mind.


    Among the generals under Liu Zhang''s command, Zhang Ren was the only one with the strongest ability, and finally surrendered to Liu Xiu in Nanyang County.


    Zhang Lu asked, "is it possible that Zhang Ren''s request is not to kill Liu Zhang?"


    "Shijun is really wise." Liu Xiu nodded and said: "at the beginning, Zhang Ren was dismissed and abandoned by Liu Zhang, and my official accepted Zhang Ren. At that time, Zhang Ren said, "Liu Zhang is unkind to him. He can''t be unkind to Liu Zhang."


    "After all, Zhang Ren was able to command the army and become a general of Yizhou, thanks to the kindness of Liu Yan and the esteem of Liu Zhang. So he made a condition that when he defeated Liu Zhang, he hoped to keep Liu Zhang''s life."


    "Because of this reason, I can''t promise Shijun."


    "If I agree now, my army really took the lead in attacking Chengdu, but released Liu Zhang at that time, that would be cheating Shijun. This is not my way of life."


    Liu Xiu looked serious and said slowly, "so I can only promise that if Shijun''s army enters Chengdu first, Shijun will decide Liu Zhang''s life and death. If Shijun''s soldiers enter Chengdu first, I will not kill Liu Zhang and release him. As for what happens after release, that''s another matter. "


    Zhang Lu listened, but a smile appeared on his face.


    Liu Xiu entered Chengdu first, but he would not protect Liu Zhang, but would choose to release him. Once Liu Zhang is out of Chengdu, it is easy to kill him.


    Zhang Lu has a better impression of Liu Xiu at this moment.


    This person is sincere and trustworthy.


    Zhang Lu looked serious and said slowly: "Liu Jingzhou can tell the truth, which shows that Liu Jingzhou is a sincere gentleman. I understand Liu Jingzhou''s difficulties. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "thank you, Shijun."


    After a change of words, he said, "how many soldiers did Shijun decide to send to fight against Liu Zhang this time?"


    Zhang Lu replied, "my master will send 20000 troops to fight."


    "Twenty thousand people!"


    Liu Xiu frowned slightly after listening.


    Seeing Liu Xiu''s expression, Zhang Lu thought that Liu Xiu was very disappointed, so he began to explain: "Liu Jingzhou, a place in Hanzhong, is naturally inferior to the counties in Jingzhou. Although there were other troops under the command of our division, Hanzhong was adjacent to Guanzhong after all, and faced the threat of Cao Cao. If the soldiers are not left to guard, it is easy to be taken advantage of by Cao Cao. Therefore, it is the greatest strength to dispatch 20000 soldiers to fight this time. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I can understand."


    Zhang Lu asked again, "how many soldiers did Liu Jingzhou send to fight?"


    Liu Xiu said: "there are 60000 people in the two armies, and these 60000 troops are the most elite forces in Jingzhou."


    "Hiss!"


    When Zhang Lu heard the speech, he took a cool breath.


    It''s a big deal to send 60000 troops to attack Liu Zhang.


    Compared with Liu Xiu''s location in Jingzhou, Hanzhong''s location is easier to defend. On the other hand, Liu Xiu should not only face the threat of Cao Cao in the north, but also face the capricious Sun Quan.In this case, Liu Xiu left behind a large number of troops.


    It can be inferred that Liu Xiu''s influence is indeed very strong.


    Zhang Lu arched his hand and said, "Liu Jingzhou sent 60000 troops. In this battle, we have 80000 troops to fight against Liu Zhang. This battle is sure to win, and Liu Zhang is sure to lose. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "it''s a matter of course that Liu Zhang was defeated. It''s just the length of time."


    Zhang Lu said: "the matter has been settled, so the master went back. When he returned to Nanzheng County, he mobilized his soldiers to attack Liu Zhang. "


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "Shijun, walk slowly!"


    Zhang Lu bowed his hands again and left with him.


    At the border, only Liu Xiu and his party were left.


    Pang Tong stood beside Liu Xiu and said with a low smile, "Lord, this master Zhang is really a little simple. Now his impression of the Lord is that he thinks he is a sincere gentleman. Therefore, it is impossible for Zhang Lu and Cao Cao to fight each other in this battle. "


    Jia Xu said: "as long as Zhang Lujian takes a stand and blocks Cao Cao from the north for the Lord, everything will be OK."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Zhang Lu will resist. One is for interests, and the other is for revenge."


    "Come on, it''s time for us to go back."


    Liu Xiu turned around and left with the crowd. He went straight to Wu County.


    When Zhang Lu returned to Nanzheng County with the crowd, Yang Song''s anger could not be calmed down. His eyes were angry and he said, "Lord, I think Liu Xiuju has a sinister mind. This man is extremely cunning, and he is detestable. "


    At this moment, Yang Song only wants to slander Liu Xiu.


    Zhang Lu took a look at Yang Song and said faintly, "villains look at the world. The world is all villains. A gentleman looks at the world, and the world is a gentleman. I''m really disappointed that you are jealous of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Liu Xiu is a sincere gentleman. He is considerate of everything. He is also considerate of his teacher. "


    Brush!


    Yang Song''s face changed greatly. Unexpectedly, Zhang Lu was totally on Liu Xiu''s side.


    Yang Song said, "Yan Gongcao, do you think Liu Xiu is cunning?"


    Yan Pu said with a smile: "Shijun, Liu Xiu is really cunning and clever, but he can''t deny that he has great wisdom. Liu Xiu needed allies to attack Liu Zhang, and even more needed his master to resist Cao Cao, so he offered such excellent conditions. All this was planned by Liu Xiu. But it is undeniable that the conditions given by Liu Xiu are really good. As long as Jingzhou is captured and Shijun controls the area north of Quren county and Dangqu County, Shijun''s power will be greatly expanded. "


    Zhang Lu listened to Yan Pu''s words, but also slightly nodded: "Yan Gongcao''s words are reasonable, Liu Xiu is really smart, but this smart is put in the smart place."


    After listening to Yang Song, his heart ached for a while.


    At least, he was slapped in the face by Liu Xiu for Zhang Lu''s sake.


    But now Zhang Lu''s words make Yang song very disappointed. A trace of resentment, in Yang Song''s heart breeding out, but he did not dare to reveal, can only pressure in the heart.


    Zhang Lu looked at Yan Pu and said, "Yan Gongcao, in this attack on Liu Zhang, my master plans to take Yang Ren as the main general. You are the military commander and lead 20000 troops to attack Liu Zhang. What do you think?"


    Yan Pulian said: "thank you for your cultivation."


    After a pause, Yan Pu said, "please rest assured, Shijun. I will be the first to attack Chengdu and take Liu Zhang''s head back together with General Yang."


    "Good!"


    Zhang Lu laughs and looks forward to it.

 Chapter 520

    Qianling County, military camp.


    Chinese army big account!


    Zhao Yun is dealing with military affairs, a soldier quickly came in, reported: "general, there is an urgent message from Xiangyang."


    With these words, the soldier took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to him.


    Zhao Yun took it and looked at it again. When he saw the content above, his eyes were shocked. Immediately, Zhao Yun showed a smile again and said, "come on, please be a military adviser."


    "No!"


    The soldiers backed down.


    Soon Lu Su came in.


    Lu Su bowed and said, "general."


    Zhao Yun said, "Zijing, sit down."


    Lu Su sat down and said, "general, what can I do for you?"


    Zhao Yun handed Lu Su the letter in his hand. Lu Su read it quickly and said in surprise: "is the Lord finally planning to attack Yizhou? From fighting against Cao Cao, to fighting against Sun Quan, and then to wiping out Jiaozhou, Yizhou has always been in a corner. This time, the Lord will finally attack Yizhou. "


    Zhao Yun nodded and said, "it''s time to attack Yizhou. Yizhou is a land of abundance. It''s a natural granary. This place is beside the Lord. If the Lord doesn''t take it, it''s a waste. "


    After a pause, Zhao Yun said, "we have been planning for such a long time, so we should take action."


    Lu Su nodded: "yes, it''s time to move."


    Since Zhao Yun and Lu Su stationed in Qianling County, on the one hand, they are responsible for stabilizing the situation in Wuling County, on the other hand, they have to constantly collect the situation of Yizhou and make layout according to the situation of Yizhou.


    Zhao Yun got up and took out a map from the camp and put it on the desk.


    Seeing this, Lu Su went up.


    They stood at the desk, staring at the map.


    Lu Su said slowly: "we moved to Fuling County, Bajun county and bordered on Fuling county. This war started from Fuling county. General, I suggest using the spies in Fuling county to capture Fuling county at one stroke. "


    "Yes


    Zhao Yun didn''t even think about it, so he agreed directly.


    Before that, Lu Su and Zhao Yun had already prepared enough time.


    If you can''t even take a Fuling county seat after such a long time of preparation, it''s really humiliating.


    ¡­¡­


    Jiangling County is the seat of Nanjun county.


    The first army under Liu Xiu was also stationed here.


    Barracks, big accounts of the Chinese army.


    Wen pin saw a letter sent by the soldiers, and his face showed a look of ecstasy.


    War is on!


    This time, we finally started a war with Liu Zhang.


    Wenpin ordered: "come here, please come to the barracks to discuss business."


    The soldiers came down with orders. Soon, Xu Shu came to the camp. After a salute, Xu Shu sat down and said with a smile, "why did the general invite me here?"


    Wenpin joked: "the Lord is about to fight again. Yuanzhi guessed where the Lord will attack?"


    Xu Shu didn''t even think about it, so he said, "of course, Yizhou."


    Wenpin said: "Yuanzhi really has a brilliant eye like a torch."


    With a bright smile on his face, Xu Shu said: "now there is a relative balance between Cao Cao, Sun Quan and the Lord. If the Lord attacked Sun Quan, this balance would be broken. But the power of the Lord is not enough to compete with Cao Cao. The only place to use force is Liu Zhang in Yizhou. If you win Yizhou, you will be able to show your strength. Whether it''s going north to attack Cao Cao, or going east to attack Sun Quan, or defending ourselves, we have enough confidence. "


    Wen pin nodded and said: "the Lord has ordered us to send the first army to join the war and order us to join the Lord in Wu County."


    Xu Shu said: "can the general get rid of himself?"


    The reason for this is that wenpin is also the prefect of Nanjun.


    As a result, wenpin has a lot to do. He is not only responsible for the training of soldiers in the army and the war involved, but also for the stability of Nanjun.


    Wen pin''s face was also distressed.


    It''s really troublesome.


    Wen pin asked, "military adviser, what should we do about this?"


    Xu Shu stroked his beard and said with a smile, "it''s easy to solve this problem. First, the general will arrange the government affairs to the prefect. If the prefect can handle it all by himself, there won''t be a big problem. Second, send someone to tell Kuai Liang and Yi Ji, who are guarding Xiangyang, to ask them to pay attention. Kuai Lianghe and Xiangyang are located in Nanjun. In this way, things will be much easier. "


    Wen pin had a smile in his eyes and said, "the military adviser has a point. I''ll arrange it now."


    Xu Shu said: "general, I''m going to prepare."


    ¡­¡­


    Wuxian!


    This county is the place where Nanjun and Bajun border. At the beginning, Liu Zhang sent troops to attack Wu County. Liu Xiu led the troops to stop him. At last, he defeated Liu Zhang and suffered a heavy loss.


    In this attack on Liu Zhang, Liu Xiu mobilized Zhao Yun''s Third Army and wenpin''s first army.Just at this time, wenpin has not arrived.


    Outside the county government, the military camp.


    In the camp, Liu Xiu, Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Huo Jun, Huang Hu, Sha Moke, Chen Zhi and others gathered.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "the army is about to attack Yizhou, but before sending troops, they will always make a name for a division, and they will make it right. Liao Hua, it''s up to you to denounce Liu Zhang. Can it be completed? "


    Liao Hua arched his hand and said, "I will obey you in your humble duty."


    Liu Xiu nodded, his eyes fell on Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others, and said: "this first battle is our most important one, we must play enough momentum. So in this battle, we must win by thunder. How to attack Yufu County, which is adjacent to Wu County


    Pang Tong said: "my Lord, I think I can wait for general Wen''s army to arrive, and then move straight forward. Yufu county is a small county, Liu Zhang''s army is no longer, he simply can not stop. Unnecessary planning, on the contrary, is not direct enough. "


    Jia Xu also said: "Pang''s analysis is reasonable. Yufu county is not strong enough to resist. So as soon as wenpin arrives, you can directly crush it. "


    After listening, the rest of the people did not put forward any opinions.


    To attack a small Yufu county does not require much effort.


    After the meeting, Liao Hua went down to write an address against Liu Zhang. In the evening, Liao Hua had already written two thousand words against Liu Zhang.


    After Liao Hua finished writing, he retouched and transcribed it again. When the ink dried up, he went to Liu Xiu''s camp with an address.


    When he came to the camp, Liao Hua said, "my Lord, I have finished writing the attack against Liu Zhang. Please have a look."


    With these words, Liao Hua delivered an address.


    After Liu Xiu read the results carefully, the more he looked down, the more smiling he was.


    Liao Hua saw a smile on Liu Xiu''s face and put down his heart hanging in the air. He sat quietly, waiting for Liu Xiu''s comments.


    After half a sound, Liu Xiu put down his address and said, "it''s very well written."


    In this address, Liu Zhang''s five major crimes are listed.


    First, Liu Zhang was unfaithful to the emperor.


    In the past, Liu Yan was appointed as a herdsman in Yizhou, but he left his eldest son Liu fan, second son Liu Sheng and fourth son Liu Zhang in Chang''an, and only brought his third son Liu Mao into Bashu. However, later Liu Zhang was appointed as the commander of Fengche, and was summoned to Liu Yan in Yizhou by the imperial court. He disobeyed the order and did not return to Chang''an. Therefore, it can be inferred that Liu Zhang was unfaithful to the emperor.


    Second, Liu Zhang was mean to guaen.


    Liu Zhang was supported by Zhao Wei, and was able to take charge of Yizhou. However, because Zhao Wei was very famous in Yizhou, he was always on guard against Zhao Wei and constantly suppressed him, so that Zhao Wei had to rebel and was killed.


    Third, Liu Zhang was cruel and ruthless.


    Zhang Lu refused to accept Liu Zhang''s blind command of the war in Hanzhong. After the conflict between the two sides, Liu Zhang killed Zhang Lu''s parents and brothers directly. It is the so-called disaster less than his wife and children, Liu Zhang even old and weak women and children are killed, it can be seen that his cruel.


    Fourth, Liu Zhang was incompetent.


    When Liu Zhang governed Yizhou, there were many rebellions. In the face of the invasion of thieves and bandits, Liu Zhang was helpless. In the face of the suffering of the people, Liu Zhang ignored them and regarded them as grass.


    Fifth, Liu Zhang was treacherous.


    Liu Zhang and Liu Xiu formed an alliance, but in the end they led the army to attack Jingzhou, which was neither benevolent nor righteous.


    After listing the five major crimes, Liao Hua finally stated that Liu Xiu''s attack on Liu Zhang was acting on behalf of heaven, obeying nature and being accepted by God. Although there was no sharp edge in the whole attack against Liu Zhang, the sharp edge would be exposed.


    Liu Xiu was very satisfied with Liao Hua''s pen and ink, and said, "it''s very good. Send people to spread it around immediately."


    "Yes


    With a smile in his eyes, Liao Hua retreats happily.

 Chapter 521

    In the shortest time, a piece of paper against Liu Zhang spread.


    The royal guards under Deng Zhan''s command operate this matter quickly.


    News continues to spread around.


    Cao Ren of Nanyang County in the North got the news first. He learned that Liu Xiu was attacking Liu Zhang, but he didn''t take any action. Instead, he quickly sent the news back to Yecheng.


    Cao Cao has been saving his energy for the past two years. Now the aftermath of his defeat in the war with Liu Xiu has been completely eliminated, and the combat effectiveness of the army has recovered. The only difference is that Cao Cao is obviously old and his hair has turned white.


    However, that pair of eyes, but still flashing with light.


    Although he is old, he is still ambitious.


    When Cao Cao learned that Liu Xiu was attacking Liu Zhang, he frowned slightly. After a little thought, he sent people to invite Xun Yu, Xun you, Chen Qun, Cheng Yu and others to the prime minister''s residence.


    Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu issued a call against Liu Zhang, listed five major crimes against Liu Zhang, and marched into Yizhou boldly. What should I do, gentlemen? "


    In the past two years, Cao Cao and Chen Bing did not move, and Liu Xiu did not move.


    When Liu Xiu attacked Yizhou, Cao Cao could not sit still.


    There was a little urgency in Xun Yu''s eyes, and he said, "prime minister, Liu Xiu''s attack on Yizhou proves that Liu Xiu has planned to take Yizhou as the rear area. At this stage, I think there are two things to do. "


    Cao Cao asked, "those two things?"


    Xun Yu replied: "Liu Xiu moves. We can''t stand still and watch Liu Xiu attack Yizhou. So "Wang Fu!"


    Wang Ye yelled and saw a big man come in.


    This person is Wang Ye''s confidant and the one he trusts most.


    Wang Ye handed the letter to Wang Fu and said, "put this letter close to your body. Then you go out of the city to Wu County and give it to Liu Xiu, a mu in Jingzhou, who lives in Wu County. Remember, it must be delivered safely. "


    Wang Fu nodded and said, "don''t worry, my Lord. People are believing."


    Wang Ye waved his hand and said, "go!"


    "Yes


    Wang Fu saluted with his fist, then turned around and stepped down.

 Chapter 522

    Wu County, barracks.


    Liu Xiu is stationed here, waiting for the news of wenpin.


    But before wenpin came, Liu Xiu waited for Wang Fu sent by Wang Ye. In the hall, Wang Fu bowed and said, "Wang Fu, a villain, is entrusted by Wang Ye, the magistrate of Yufu County, to send a letter to Liu Jingzhou."


    When he said this, he took out a letter from his clothes.


    Deng Zhan took the letter and handed it to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu read it quickly, and a smile appeared on his face. Generally speaking, the content of the letter is that he heard that Liu Jingzhou is virtuous and virtuous, while Liu Zhang is faint and willing to submit to Liu Jingzhou.


    Liu Xiu had a bottom in his heart and said, "go back and tell Wang Ye that I will accept his request."


    "No!"


    Wang Fu didn''t stay, so he turned and left.


    Deng Zhan said: "Lord, what does Yufu county magistrate ask for?"


    Liu Xiu said, "Wang Ye intends to surrender."


    "Ah


    Deng Zhan looked surprised, and his face showed an incredible look. He didn''t expect that the Royal Palace would do this. It was beyond people''s expectation. After all, Liu Xiu was only one step to Wu County, and wenpin''s army had not yet arrived. At this time, Wang Ye took the initiative to submit, which is really surprising.


    In fact, Liu Xiu can''t judge Wang Ye''s mind now.


    After all, Liu Xiu didn''t know Wang Ye.


    True surrender?


    Fake surrender?


    Liu Xiu couldn''t tell the true from the false for a moment.


    Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and said, "Deng Zhan, send some royal guards to Yufu County immediately to investigate the news of Wang Ye. Everything must be brought back to me. "


    "No!"


    After Deng Zhan went down to convey the news, Liu Xiu sent for Pang Tong and Jia Xu.


    Liu Xiu repeated the news of Wang Ye''s surrender and said: "I sent Deng Zhan to inquire about the news. If this is true, it will be a great blow to Liu Zhang. It''s worth reading about. Liu Zhang''s accusation can be settled. "


    Pang Tong said with a smile: "it''s good news whether it''s true or not. It''s not easy to get into Wujian County by force. Even if Wang Ye pretends to be obedient, he has to open and close the door. As long as we get to the barrier, everything will be easy and a lot of things will be reduced. "


    "Well! Shi Yuan is right. "


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    Jia Xu answered, but the conversation changed and said: "Lord, Shi Yuan and I have studied the map of Ba County these days. After we entered Yufu County, the next step is Quren county. Quren county is not only a big county, but also the second one we attacked. If Yufu county is successful, then the war in Quren county can be planned ahead of time. We have already arranged the whole plan


    Liu Xiu asked, "how is it arranged?"


    Jia Xu said: "for Quren county''s plan, we intend to win with grain. In this war, the focus is not on siege, but on creating civil strife. This is just the beginning of the war, and the other side has not yet had time to prepare for such an opportunity. "


    At present, Jia Xu elaborated the plan in detail.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu said, "who will carry out this plan?"


    Jia Xu''s expression was very calm. He said: "there are many candidates for execution. Huo Jun can, even Chen Dao can. These people can complete the task."


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu fell into thinking.


    Pang Tong suggested: "my Lord, I would like to take Chen with me. Chen Dao is a general with outstanding martial arts. He is under the command of the Lord, and he has no credit at present. This time, he can be given a chance to perform meritorious service, so as to reward him and ease his heart. After all, after Chen arrived in Jingzhou from Jiaozhou, there has been no arrangement. "


    Liu Xiu nodded. Chen Dao''s arrangement was really like this. When Chen arrived in Jingzhou, because there was no war for the time being, and there were arrangements all over Jingzhou, Liu Xiu arranged Chen Dao to take a temporary post in the army. Anyway, he gave him enough preferential treatment, but it was really a casual job.


    After thinking for a moment, Liu Xiu had already made a decision and said, "come on, Chen Dao and Huo Jun, please."


    The servant came down, and in a short time they came.


    "Lord!"


    Chen Dao and Huo Jun meet Liu Xiu and salute at the same time.


    Liu Xiu looked at them and said in a deep voice, "about attacking quren County in front of Yufu County, army master Jia and army master Pang have made a plan. The plan is like this


    Liu Xiu explained the whole plan in detail. Then, Liu Xiucai said, "to run this plan, two people need to sneak into Quren county. Would you like to go, both of you? "


    "I''m willing to be humble!"


    Huo Jun didn''t even think about it, so he nodded directly.


    "The end will also be willing to!"


    Chen Dao is also a general. His role is to attack cities and land and fight on the battlefield. Now that there is war, there is room for talent.


    Liu Xiu nodded his head and said, "since you are all willing, you should be ready to take what you need with you. Then you are ready to go to Yufu county and Quren county first."After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "the implementation of this plan is mainly Chen Dao, supplemented by Huo Jun."


    "No!"


    Two people answer at the same time, then turn round to go down.


    Looking at the two men who left, Pang Tong said, "my Lord has arranged them together. Is it not my Lord''s intention to cooperate with Huo Jun and Chen Dao when he sets up the Sixth Army next?"


    Liu Xiu said: "whether you can partner or not depends on the cooperation this time."


    As Pang Tong said, Liu Xiu does have the idea of letting Chen Dao and Huo Jun match. But what happens next depends on whether their personalities and abilities can match each other. Otherwise, once there is a dispute between the two sides and they do not agree with each other, it will be difficult to cooperate.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sudden sound of footsteps came in from outside the camp.


    Liu Xiu looked up, but Deng Zhan came.


    Deng Zhan entered the barracks and said after a salute: "Lord, I feel the situation of Wang Ye. At the same time, I received a letter sent by Mr. FA from Chengdu. Fazheng said that Wang Ye, the magistrate of Yufu County, had been beaten down by Liu Ruo and had a lot of opinions about Liu Zhang''s fatalness. On the contrary, he admired his Lord and said that he could send someone to persuade him. "


    Liu Xiu picked his eyebrows and had a smile on his face.


    The news of fazhengdu came, so it should be impossible for Wang Ye to surrender.


    Liu Xiu said, "how is Wang Ye?"


    Deng Zhan replied, "my Lord, Wang Ye was born in a poor family. When he was an official in Yufu County, he really thought of the people and was anxious about the people''s needs. His political achievements were quite outstanding. People in Yufu County say that Wang Ye was once transferred to Chengdu as a magistrate, but because of his family background, he was forcibly robbed by a family member. In Yufu County, he has a great reputation and is a talented person. "


    After Liu Xiu listened, his face also showed a touch of appreciation.


    Talent!


    Whether it''s the enemy''s or one''s own, I like it.


    Wang Ye has talent, but there is no way out. Liu Xiu can give it to him.


    Liu Xiu said: "since Wang Ye is a talent, I know how to deal with it."


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came out of the camp.


    Liu Xiu said, "come in!"


    The soldier came in and knelt down on one knee and said, "my Lord, general Wen, with 30000 troops, has entered Wu County. In half a day, he will arrive at the camp."


    "Well, here we are at last."


    Liu Xiu''s face was full of smile. After waving his hand to let the soldiers back down, Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and said, "get ready. Let the soldiers in the army clean up their tents and get ready to leave."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan went on to arrange, and Liu Xiu, Jia Xu and others also began to clean up.


    Half a day, fleeting.


    In the late afternoon, the two armies joined up.


    After Liu Xiu and wenpin met, he met wenpin and gave a brief account of the current situation. Before the army had a rest, he led the army to the border of Jianguan.


    Liu Xiu led the army out, and the news soon spread to Yufu county.


    Wang Ye learned the news, with the county government officials, all in person to Jianguan, ready to meet Liu Xiu.


    Looking at the officials under his command, Wang Ye said in a loud voice: "you guys, Liu Jingzhou led a large army to kill, tens of thousands of troops, we Yufu county can''t stop it. In addition, Liu Zhang is incompetent and the master of Liu Jingzhou''s benevolence, so we should submit to Liu Jingzhou. What do you think? "


    "So be it!"


    All the officials in the county government agreed directly.


    They all know the combat effectiveness of Liu Xiu''s army, and no one is willing to fight Liu Xiu. Since Wang Ye offered surrender, they pushed the boat with the current and then surrendered.

 Chapter 523

    Liu Xiu personally led the army to Jianguan, and the army lined up outside the pass.


    The black army was terrified. When the whole army was arrayed, there seemed to be a boundless momentum pouring into the pass, which almost suffocated the countless soldiers and officials on the pass.


    It''s so strong!


    When the officials at the checkpoint saw this, they all held their breath.


    The crowd looked at Wang Ye with happy eyes.


    Fortunately, Wang Ye chose to surrender. If it was fighting, I don''t know how many people would die under Liu Xiu''s knife.


    Wang Ye looked at the crowd and said, "everyone, follow me out."


    "My Lord, please


    When they heard the words, they all spoke with one voice.


    Wang Ye led the crowd down the tower, and then came to the gate, ordered: "switch!"


    With an order, the gate of the checkpoint was opened.


    Wang ye came out with a group of officials, and the party came to the front of the army, headed by Wang Ye. Wang Ye bows his hand and says, "Yufu county magistrate Wang Ye, meet Liu Jingzhou."


    "Meet Liu Jingzhou."


    All the people bowed to salute, and there was a little uneasiness on their faces. These people don''t know that Wang Ye has submitted a letter to Liu Xiu. They are worried about how Liu Xiu will deal with it?


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "please get up."


    When Wang Ye and his subordinates heard the words, they stood with their hands down.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "my official led the army to Yizhou, not to seize, but to let the people of Yizhou live and work in peace and contentment. So please rest assured that when I enter Yufu County, all the officers will remain in the same position, and all the soldiers under my command will be safe. This is my promise to you. "


    After hearing this, the officials were all happy.


    The same official position means that Liu Xiu will not clean up.


    It means that the people will not suffer.


    These two are enough for them to stay in Yufu county. Even Liu Xiu''s Daolai had no influence on Yufu county.


    Wang Ye said, "my Lord, I admire you."


    For Liu Xiu to enter Yufu County, Wang Ye is full of expectations.


    Liu Xiu looked at Wang Ye and said, "I heard the official voice of Wang county magistrate when I was in Jingzhou. You have the ability and talent to bring peace to the people in Yufu county. It''s very good. I''m optimistic about you. "


    A word of appreciation inspired Wang Ye.


    Liu Xiu praised him in public!


    This honor is not simple, even Wang Ye seems to see his future glory.


    Wang Ye quickly said: "my Lord, you have falsely praised that Yufu county can bring peace to the people. On the one hand, the lower officials have done what the county magistrate should do. On the other hand, with the help of your colleagues, today''s results can be achieved."


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said nothing more.


    With a wave of his hand, Wen pin came forward.


    Wenpin gave the order directly, and then a battalion of soldiers rushed up and quickly took over the defense of Jianguan.


    As the border of Yufu county and Wuxian County, the existence of Jiguan is Liu Xiu''s retreat. Once the war in the front is unfavorable, or when there is a sudden situation that requires additional troops, it is crucial to guard against it. As long as Jianguan is in Liu Xiu''s hands, everything will go smoothly. If Jianguan loses control, Liu Xiu''s retreat and channel will be cut off.


    In Wang Xiu''s eyes, he didn''t think much of Liu''s actions.


    Liu Xiu led the army to arrive and occupied the pass, which was the most normal thing.


    It wasn''t long before Liu Xiu''s soldiers were in control of the checkpoint.


    The army continued to set out and ran towards the county seat of Yufu county. The army marched forward. When it was dark, but it had not arrived at the county seat, so it had to stop and set up camp.


    The army camped and the soldiers cooked.


    After dinner, the soldiers in the army had a rest.


    Liu Xiu did not rest, but sent Wang Ye to the camp.


    Wang Ye arched his hand and said, "I''ve seen you."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "don''t be polite. Sit down!"


    Wang Ye lifted up his robe and sat down, but he was sitting upright. Although Liu Xiu asked him not to be polite, he did not dare to be so presumptuous and could only sit down honestly.


    Liu Xiu said, "please come here to discuss with you about the magistrate of Yufu county."


    Wang Ye raised his eyebrows and looked surprised.


    During the day, Liu Xiu said that his official position would not change. How could he negotiate with the county magistrate now? Is Liu Xiu going to choose one of his own people to put in Yufu county?


    Do you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?


    Wang Ye''s heart, gave birth to such an idea.


    But Wang Ye didn''t show it. He said, "please, my Lord."


    Liu Xiu saw the change of Wang Ye''s look, but he didn''t pay attention to it. Instead, he said slowly: "this time, it''s not only my official who is fighting against Liu Zhang, but also Zhang Lu who will send troops in Hanzhong. Before the two sides sent out troops, my official and Zhang Lu had decided on the division of territory after the capture of Yizhou. "


    "To the north of Quren county and Dangqu county is Zhanglu''s area, and to the south is the official''s area.""As the magistrate of Yufu County, you belong to Zhang Lu according to the regional division. That''s why I called you here to discuss this matter with you alone. "


    What Liu Xiu discussed with Wang Ye was about Wang Ye''s going and staying.


    Liu Xiu hopes to use such talents for his own use instead of being acquired by Zhang Lu.


    After listening to Liu Xiu''s words, the expression on Wang Ye''s face changed and he was full of gratitude to Liu Xiu instead. I thought Liu Xiu was going to demolish the bridge, but now it seems that Liu Xiu is actually thinking about him.


    Liu Xiu was a herdsman in Jingzhou, and he was also in charge of Jiaozhou. Such a high-ranking person took the initiative to find him. This thought and care moved Wang''s ambition.


    Wang Ye didn''t even think about it. He said directly, "I''m willing to listen to your arrangement."


    But Liu Xiu shook his head and said with a smile, "don''t be in a hurry. I''ll give you two choices."


    Wang Ye said, "please, my Lord."


    Liu Xiu said, "first of all, after my officer led the army to the south, after a period of time, you will resign the magistrate of Yufu County, leave the matter to others, and then take up the post under my officer. With your ability, you will have a chance to be the prefect of a county in the future, but you can only start from the county magistrate when you first come under my command. "


    Wang Ye nodded, a pair of ears.


    Liu Xiu continued: "second, you will stay in Yufu county. Although the area to the north of Quren county will be assigned to Zhang Lu after Yizhou is captured, the whole Yizhou will belong to this official in the future. "


    Liu Xiu has made the last sentence clear.


    The future of Yizhou belongs to Liu Xiu.


    Obviously, after Liu Xiu captured Yizhou, although he carved up the area with Zhang Lu, he must attack Zhang Lu.


    Wang Ye''s stay in Yufu county is like a thorn in the territory of Bajun. When Liu Xiu''s counterattack comes, Wang Ye will emerge. Only in this way, Wang Ye can only endure temporarily, and he needs to bear humiliation.


    Liu Xiu said: "two choices, I don''t force you. It''s all up to you. When I received your letter, I already arranged for Deng Zhan to investigate your situation. You are talented and can be made. I respect your choice. "


    Wang Ye thought for a moment and made a decision in his heart.


    Now he is subordinate to Liu Xiu and takes a post under his command, so he has not made any contribution.


    Stay in Yufu County for the time being and bear the humiliation. Once Liu Xiu attacks Zhang Lu, he will snipe the city and surrender again, which will certainly have a huge impact, even affect the situation of the whole battlefield.


    This is an opportunity!


    At this time, forbearance is waiting, but the future achievements are even greater.


    Wang Ye stood up and bowed to Liu Xiu. Then he knelt on one knee and said, "my Lord, I''m willing to stay in Yufu county. It''s like a sharp stick in Zhang Lu''s heart."


    "Good!"


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he couldn''t help smiling.


    The biggest choice, of course, is for Wang Ye to stay.


    In this way, Liu Xiu''s counterattack against Zhang Lu will be of great benefit. Liu Xiu personally went to Wang Ye''s body, stretched out his hand to hold up Wang Ye, said: "hard you, you do not owe me, I do not owe you."


    Wang Ye said, "it''s better to live up to the expectations of adults to be humble."


    Liu Xiu talked with Wang Ye about Yufu County, and then let Wang ye go down to have a rest.


    The next morning, the army continued on its way. The army arrived at the county, but only stopped for a while, and continued to kill at the junction of Yufu county and Quren county.

 Chapter 524

    Fuling county is located at the intersection of Yangtze River and Wujiang River.


    The county has developed water system and convenient water transportation.


    The magistrate of Fuling county is named Wu ye, whose relationship can be traced back to Wu Yi, the Zhonglang general under Liu Zhang.


    Speaking of Wu Yi, he has a name in history. First he was Liu Mao''s eldest brother-in-law. Unfortunately, Liu Mao died early and his sister was widowed. Later, Liu Bei went to Shu and married Wu Yi''s sister. Wu Yi became Liu Bei''s eldest brother-in-law. With the help of his sister''s relationship, Liu Bei was very important.


    Wu Ye is a distant relative of Wu Yi.


    Because of Wu Yi''s relationship, he was able to hold the post of magistrate in Fuling county.


    Although Wu Ye was capable, he was greedy of money and lust, and even sold many official posts in the county government directly. Under such circumstances, even if Wu Ye has the ability, Fuling county is still a mess.


    This day, the county government.


    County Magistrate Cao Yuan and master Book Yang Fei came.


    Both of them had a worried look on their faces.


    When they arrived at the study, they saluted Wu Ye. After taking a seat, Cao Yuan said, "Xian Zun, Zhao Yun led three bowls of troops and moved to Lingxian county to kill him. Now, Zhao Yun is close to Fuling county. How can we resist? Because of Liu Xiu''s toughness, people in the county are in a panic and the situation is turbulent. "


    Wu Ye brushed his sleeve and said, "don''t worry, I have sent someone back to Chengdu for help. Moreover, the city of Fuling county is solid and surrounded by moats, which can''t be conquered in a short time. "


    For Zhao yunsha, Wu Ye is unwilling to surrender because of his identity.


    Once he surrenders, he will not only lose Wu Yi''s help, but also involve Wu Yi. He also has the ability and confidence that his soldiers can withstand for a period of time, which is enough to wait for the way of reinforcements.


    Cao Yuan and Yang Fei looked at each other, and a light flashed in their eyes.


    Two people are the most important people around Wu Ye. If Wu Ye is not there, they are in charge of politics.


    Yang Fei said with a smile: "since Xian Zun intends to fight to the end, he will stick to the victory. By the time Zhao Yun''s army arrives, our reinforcements may have arrived. "


    "Well!"


    Wu Ye nodded, and his expression was quite relaxed.


    Yang Fei said: "my Lord, now the troops are scattered. Some of them go out to stop Zhao Yun, and some of them are stationed in the city. In order to prevent Zhao Yun from making trouble, Fuling county has been closed down. There''s nothing to do now. Would you like to drink today? "


    As soon as the words came out, Wu Ye''s face was full of expectation: "the master knows me, and has he found a beautiful woman?"


    Yang Fei said with a slight smile: "today''s women are very beautiful, which is absolutely in line with Xian Zun''s eyes. It''s a coincidence to meet her. Before that, when I had nothing to do with my humble job, I was drinking with my friends in wanhualou, and I happened to meet Miss Qingxuan of wanhualou. She is not only good at singing and dancing, but also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I think that this is what you like, so I redeemed her. Today I brought it to you. "


    "Good!"


    Wu Ye''s face was full of joy when he gave a smile.


    At this time, Wu Ye looked at Xiangyang Fei''s face and appreciated it. He said that the master knew me.


    Wu Ye couldn''t wait to say: "bring the people up, and then call a few more Geji to accompany Qingxuan. Well, the wine and meat should be ready, and all of them should be brought up. "


    With an order, the servants of Wu Ye''s family took action.


    After a while, all the drunkards came.


    Outside the hall, a light footstep came in.


    Under the warm spring sun, a Yingying figure came in. The woman''s clothes are light, her posture is myriad, her face is charming, and her eyes are like sparkling water.


    This woman is Qing Xuan.


    Her slender figure is fully exposed in the sun.


    Standing outside the room, Qing Xuan Ying Ying made a salute and opened her lips. "I''ve seen Xian Zun before."


    Wu Ye gulped down his saliva, and his face was full of joy. He even felt that his belly was hot. With a smile, Wu Ye maintained the demeanor of Xian Zun and said, "Miss Qingxuan is very polite. I heard that Miss Qingxuan is outstanding in singing and dancing. It''s really my honor to see her dancing today."


    Qingxuan said with a smile, "it''s also a blessing for me to be able to dance for xianzun."


    She nodded to the surrounding Geji, and then looked at the pianists who had already been ready. When she nodded, she saw the pianist fiddling with the strings. With the melodious music flowing out, a gentle music filled the air.


    Qing Xuan''s long sleeves trembled, and the long sleeves she threw out turned out to be a mass of flowers in the air.


    The beauty of movement, the charm of posture.


    Such a gesture is fascinating.


    When Wu ye saw this scene, he immediately became addicted to it. Looking at Qing Xuan''s dancing posture, his eyes were already shining with a bright light.


    The eyes were blazing and full of desire.


    The expression is greedy. It''s all about taking possession.Singing and dancing are still going on. Wu Ye''s face has gradually become red tide with a cup of wine.


    At the end of the song, Wu Ye was slightly drunk and had finished a pot of wine.


    Seeing this, Yang Fei waved her hand and said, "Miss Qingxuan, the county master is too strong to drink. Please help him to have a rest."


    "Yes


    Qingxuan has gone up to Wu Ye.


    People to the body, suddenly a fragrance filled, but also make Wu Ye intoxicated. He took the opportunity to hold Qingxuan, and then went to the bedroom of the back yard.


    In the study, only Yang Fei and Cao Yuan were left.


    Yang Fei said: "Cao Xiancheng, the plan has been started. Now we are waiting for the news."


    Cao Yuan said with a smile: "that Qingxuan is not an ordinary person, but we paid a lot of money for her. She''s going to do it herself, and it''s going to be a success this time. "


    They waited quietly, with no anxiety on their faces.


    As time went by, about a quarter of an hour later, there was a light footstep outside the study.


    Immediately, see Qing Xuan Ying Ying came in.


    After sitting down, Qing Xuan said with a smile, "Mr. Cheng and Mr. Yang of Cao County, I have finished the task you gave me. Now Wu Ye is a corpse. When will I have all this money? "


    Yang Fei said with a smile, "Miss Qingxuan, the money officer will give it to you right away. But in order to save time, you have to stay in the county government for the time being. When Zhao Yun''s army arrives in the county, you will be free. "


    "No problem."


    Qingxuan didn''t hesitate, she answered directly.


    Yang Fei calls for someone to take Qing Xuan to get the money, and then they jointly give an order to withdraw the troops that were dispatched to stop Zhao Yun for the reason of defending Fuling county.


    From Qianling county to Fuling County, there were no soldiers on the way, and Zhao Yun''s army went smoothly.


    In a short period of time, it has been outside Fuling.


    At this time, Cao Yuan and Yang Fei took Wu ye and Qing Xuan as the reason to act as their representatives.


    In Fuling County, such a situation is common.


    Therefore, the officials of Fuling county did not have doubts and let Cao Yuan and Yang Fei preside over the military and political affairs. On this day, they both came to the city tower, and they both dispatched their confidants to the city tower to control the city tower defense of Fuling county.


    Outside the city, a dense army approached.


    Zhao Yun and Lu Su led the troops to form an array, and they were ready.


    Seeing this, Cao Yuan ordered: "open the gate!"


    At the first order, the generals under the tower acted immediately. Although the soldiers were a little confused, they had already given orders, and they did not dare to disobey them. They had to put down the suspension bridge and open the city gate.


    When the gate opened, the whole Fuling County fell into Zhao Yun''s hands.


    Cao Yuan and Yang Fei came to meet Zhao Yun outside the city. They arched their hands and said, "I''ve seen General Zhao."


    Zhao Yun with a smile: "you work hard."


    Cao Yuan said: "humble job is not hard."


    Yang Fei also said: "when the general arrives, we can do things under the command of Liu Jingzhou."


    They were not subordinates of Wu Ye. In fact, Lu Su sent people to Fuling county early, and then with the help of money, they became the county magistrate and the chief clerk all the way. They became Wu Ye''s right-hand man and successfully elevated Wu Ye.


    This is Lu Su''s plan.


    When the army arrived, Fuling County turned to surrender, and Zhao Yun''s army had a bridgehead in Bajun.

 Chapter 525

    Chengdu, the prefecture of animal husbandry.


    When Liu Zhang got the news of Liu Xiu and Zhang Lu''s invasion, he was already furious.


    Liu Zhang scolded Liu Xiu for his treachery and Zhang Lu for taking advantage of the fire. No matter how much Liu Zhang scolded, it didn''t help because the army had already killed him. What we need to do now is to resist the attacks from Liu Xiu and Zhang Lu.


    In the hall, Liu Zhang''s officials and generals gathered.


    Liu Zhang looked at the men under his command and said, "Zhang Lu and Liu Xiu have come to commit crimes. Zhang Lu is approaching Guanghan County, but Liu Xiu is fighting in two ways. Yizhou has reached the time of life and death. How can we meet the enemy in this battle? "


    In the hall, FA Zheng, Zhang song, Li Yan, Liu Ba, Wu Yi and other civil and military officers and generals all looked grim.


    When Liu Xiu and Zhang Lu kill each other, Yizhou is in danger.


    Liu Zhang looked at the serious looking people and said angrily, "I usually support you. Now it''s time for you to do your best, but you don''t say a word. What''s the use of you?"


    At the moment, Liu Zhang was in a state of panic.


    Here comes Liu Xiu!


    Here comes Zhang Lu!


    Wolf, it''s coming.


    Liu Zhang''s eyes were burning. He looked directly at Fazheng and said, "Xiaozhi, what should you do?"


    Fazheng stood up and shook his robes. He said solemnly: "Zhang Lu and Liu Xiu are divided into three armies. They think that the three armies should resist. Neither Zhang Lu''s army nor Liu Xiu''s two armies are easy to match. I''m afraid the forces close to the counties and counties are not easy to resist. "


    "So the most urgent task now is to send troops to resist these three armies, so that the enemy will not be killed, but we have not yet sent troops to resist."


    "The focus now is on how to divide the troops and who will lead them."


    Fazheng arched his hand and said, "Lord, please decide the chief General of the three armies so that he can lead the troops to resist immediately. If time is delayed, it will be very disadvantageous. "


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier ran in from the outside.


    Liu Zhang was in a depressed mood when he saw that the soldiers rushed in again and roared, "don''t you see the meeting? He rushed in with a roar


    "Newspaper!"


    Just at this time, another soldier rushed in in panic.


    Liu Zhang saw the two soldiers and said angrily, "what''s the matter?"


    The soldiers who came in first were very nervous. They reported: "report back, my Lord. The news is coming back from the front line. Yufu county magistrate Wang Ye surrendered, opened the gate, and welcomed Liu Xiu into the gate. Now Liu Xiu has occupied Yufu county and is going to kill Quren county. "


    Brush!


    Liu Zhang''s face became extremely embarrassed.


    It was not long before the news of Liu Xiu''s attack on Yizhou came back. Soon after, Liu Xiu broke Yufu county.


    For a moment, Liu Zhang''s hatred soared to the sky.


    Hate Wang Ye switch surrender!


    Hate Liu Xiu attack Yizhou!


    Liu Zhang clenched his fist, looked at the soldiers and asked, "what news do you have?"


    The soldier reported: "report back, Fuling county has sent back news that Fuling county magistrate Wu Ye was killed, and county governor Cao Yuan and chief Bo Yang Feixian City surrendered. Now Fuling county has been under Zhao Yun''s control. Zhao Yun''s army stationed in Fuling County, and then began to attack Bajun. "


    Boom!


    In Liu Zhang''s mind, it seems that he thought of thunder.


    At present is a trance!


    When Yufu county was lost, Liu Xiu led the army to Yizhou; when Fuling county was lost, Zhao Yun led the army to Yizhou. The situation today is simply too bad.


    Liu Zhang''s heart was uneasy and even more nervous.


    Below, civil and military officials are also in a panic.


    Although the expression on FA Zheng''s face was sad and indignant, he was pleasantly surprised because Liu Xiu was too fast. In Fazheng''s expectation, Liu Xiu should spend some effort. Unexpectedly, he entered Yufu County easily, and then approached Quren county.


    Fuling County, in particular, is a strategic place where water and land meet. The city of Fuling county is also extremely strong. I didn''t expect that as soon as Zhao Yun led the army to Fuling County, he would join the army.


    Speed, speed!


    In Fazheng''s mind, he only thought of such a word.


    On Zhang Song''s ugly face, his expression was also painful. But in his heart, the music has already blossomed. Both he and Zhang song have been subordinated to Liu Xiu, so naturally they are happy for him.


    Zhang song even thought that Liu Xiu was the master of Ming Dynasty because the army was so fast.


    Such a person is the master!


    Liu Zhang is such a dazzled ruler, but he doesn''t know how to make progress in Yizhou. Even Yizhou under his command can''t be well managed. It''s a shame to be the leader of Yizhou.


    Fazheng was very happy, but he said: "Lord, it''s urgent. It should be early rather than late. We have to send troops. Otherwise, the situation will be even worse. If Zhang Lu leads the army commander to drive straight in, it will be even worse. "


    Zhang song also seconded: "Lord, quickly decide who to send troops."He roared anxiously, but his heart was happy.


    Zhang song took a look at Fazheng, but saw that Fazheng shook his head.


    What Zhang Song means is that if the two of them go out in person as military advisers or generals, then there is no doubt that they must have a great advantage.


    Fazheng shakes his head to tell Zhang Song not to worry. According to Fazheng, they are both in Chengdu and their families are here. Once they submit to Liu Xiu at the front line, their families will be implicated.


    Liu Zhang looked at Fazheng and asked, "Xiaozhi, what do you suggest?"


    Fazheng said: "Lord, if you want to resist, you think the first route army can be led by Liu Xun, the eldest son of Lord. He led his army to resist Zhang Lu. I don''t think it will be a problem. "


    Liu Zhang nodded and agreed with FA Zheng.


    Liu Xun had been training in the army, and he was also a good strategist.


    Liu Zhang also said, "then who will resist Liu Xiu?"


    Fazheng''s eyes swept over the people''s faces, and finally fell on Wu Yi, saying: "now general Wu Yi in the army has high prestige and is also the chief General. According to his humble position, general Wu Yi is a suitable candidate."


    Wu Yi hears the speech, but in her heart, she scolds Fazheng''s son and pushes him up.


    Facing people like Liu Xiu, Wu Yi is also afraid.


    However, Wu Yi had no choice but to refuse, otherwise she would annoy Liu Zhang.


    Liu Zhang asked, "who can resist Zhao Yun?"


    Fazheng said: "if you want to talk about the person who can resist Zhao Yun, Yan Yan, the prefect of Bajun, is a veteran, but he is still outstanding in martial arts and is extremely strong. With him in Wujun, Zhao Yun''s offensive will certainly be blocked. However, although the old general was old, he was very angry and impulsive. So I suggest that Li Yan go to Bajun as Yan Yan''s military adviser. "


    After listening, Li Yan raised his head and nodded slightly. Wu Yi is afraid of Liu Xiu, but Li Yan is not. Even Li Yan doesn''t think Zhao Yun is powerful. Li Yan is extremely conceited. He doesn''t take Zhao Yun seriously.


    After hearing this, Liu Zhang was very satisfied with Fazheng''s arrangement and said, "Fazheng''s suggestion is my official''s order. You, the safety of Yizhou is in your hands. "


    When they heard the words, they all answered.


    Then Liu Zhang asked Liu Xun and Wu Yi to lead 30000 troops respectively, while Li Yan went alone.


    After the matter was confirmed, Liu Zhang asked people to step down.


    After Fazheng and Zhang Song left, they went to Zhang Song''s house together.


    In the study, they sat down.


    Zhang Song said in a deep voice: "Xiaozhi, why don''t we go out together? I thought about it for a while. Even if I''m worried about my family members in Chengdu, it can be operated. "


    FA Zheng raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "family members are one reason. There are other reasons. After this incident, almost all the people around Liu Zhang have been sent out, and the rest of them are unimportant, and their influence and power are inferior to ours. Now Chengdu, with a slow operation, can be under our control. "


    "In addition, the people I sent to resist are also very careful."


    "Although Wu Yi is quite talented, he is rather timid and has no decision in the face of great events. He led the army to resist. It must be hard to resist the Lord. "


    Fazheng continued: "Yan Yan is a veteran with outstanding ability, but although Yan Yan is old, he is quite powerful. Li Yan is capable, but conceited and headstrong. After Li Yan goes, not only will he not help Yan Yan, but he may hinder Yan Yan. "


    Hearing this, Zhang song suddenly realized, "Xiaozhi is really wise. This arrangement is indeed appropriate."

 Chapter 526

    Guanghan County, Baishui County.


    This site is the northernmost County of Guanghan County, bordering Hanzhong county.


    After Zhang Lu led his troops into Baishui County, he didn''t advance quickly. Instead of being impatient, he advanced steadily. Liu Xiu and Zhao Yun have already captured a county and launched a fierce attack, but Zhang Lu is still not arrogant and rash, and has not yet arrived at Baishui County.


    At night, camp.


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    Zhang Lu, Yan Pu, Zhang Song and Yang Ren discussed business in the camp.


    Zhang Lu looked at the people under his command and said: "just got the news, Liu Xiu has captured Yufu county without any blood. Moreover, Yufu county magistrate took the initiative to submit to this war. "


    Yan Pu said: "in the past, Liu Xiu and Liu Zhang''s army fought in Yufu County, but Liu Xiu''s remaining power is still there. When he arrived in Yufu County, it was expected that the other side would voluntarily surrender. "


    Yang Song hummed twice and said, "it''s not worth mentioning. After all, Liu Xiu''s army arrived."


    Zhang Lu said: "not only that, but also the army led by Zhao Yun has broken Fuling county. Now Liu Xiu''s two armies have taken root in Yizhou. "


    Yang Song''s face became embarrassed when he heard the speech.


    I wanted to be ironic, but the other side did have enough achievements.


    On the other hand, there is still no achievement along the way.


    Yang Song looked at Zhang Lu, his face became solemn and said: "Shijun, now Liu xiudu''s two armies have gained advantages. Under such circumstances, I''m afraid Yan Gongcao''s plan is not appropriate. Otherwise, once Liu Xiu said that Shijun''s march was not good, it would easily affect the relationship between the two sides. "


    Yan Pu was not happy when he heard that.


    Yang Song, villain!


    Do you think Yang Song will consider the relationship between the two sides?


    Zhang Lu looked at Yan Pu and said, "what do you think of Yan Gongcao?"


    Yan Pu said: "Lord, I think it''s better to maintain the current strategy for the time being and move forward steadily. We have already drawn a line with Liu Xiu. Under such circumstances, why do we have to work hard? "


    After a pause, Yan Pu said: "at present, we are friends with Liu Xiu. Once we have captured Yizhou, our relationship with Liu Xiu will be complicated, not only as allies, but also as enemies. So now, when we can preserve our strength, we should try our best to preserve our strength instead of consuming it excessively. "


    Zhang Lu nodded and said, "my master also agrees with Yan Gongcao''s analysis. Let''s postpone it for a while."


    "But once Liu Xiu enters Chengdu first, it will be difficult for Liu Zhang to catch him," Yang Song said


    Zhang Lu took a look at Yang Song and chuckled twice.


    In fact, although Zhang Lu hated Liu Zhang to the bone, he was not in a hurry, or Zhang Lu had enough patience. Even if he can''t win Liu Zhang this time, he has plenty of opportunities.


    In front of Liu Xiu, Zhang Lu naturally has to disguise himself.


    When Yang Song saw that Zhang Lu did not speak, he sighed and stopped talking. But Zhang Lu treated him like this, but Yang Song''s dissatisfaction became more and more intense.


    ¡­¡­


    Quren county is adjacent to Yufu County, with a wide area.


    In its territory, there are many mountains and jungles.


    It''s not easy to drive around in this kind of terrain.


    Liu Xiu and his soldiers set out from Yufu county to Quren county. However, after three days'' journey, they still didn''t reach the county magistrate of Quren county. The distance is still very far away.


    Liu Xiu''s troops slowly approached, but he was not in a hurry.


    At this time, the Quren county has set off waves. Because Liu Xiu directly captured Yufu County, which had a huge impact on Quren county.


    As a result, Quren county people floating.


    County Government!


    County Magistrate Huang Quan looks worried, because these two days are bad news.


    Huang Quan looked at the county magistrate sitting on one side and said, "Chengdu, is there any news?"


    The county magistrate shook his head and said, "not yet!"


    Huang Quan thought for a while and then asked, "to resist Liu Xiu''s army, if we can''t wait for Chengdu''s army, we must be in a bitter battle. Now, you should try your best to stabilize prices, forbid merchants to hoard grain, forbid merchants to drive up prices. "


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came in outside the hall.


    "My Lord, there is chaos in the city. Many businessmen have closed their doors, and even many people have to leave quren County," the soldier reported


    Brush!


    Huang Quan''s face turned black.


    "Newspaper!"


    Another soldier came in flurried and reported: "my Lord, it''s not good."


    "What happened?" asked Huang Quan


    The soldier cried and replied, "my Lord, some families in the city are united. They say that they want the county magistrate to obey Liu Xiu and conform to the times."


    Huang Quan''s face became very embarrassed. The news was just bad news.


    The bad news came back one by one, which changed the face of the yellow spring."Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, another soldier rushed in.


    Huang Quan couldn''t help it any more. He roared, "what''s the breaking news again?"


    The soldier said, "my Lord, I just got the urgent news from Chengdu. Mr. Zhou Mu has dispatched Wu Yi to lead 30000 troops to resist Liu Xiu. If a large army comes, we will have hope. "


    "Hoo


    After hearing this, the expression on Huang Quan''s face was relieved.


    At least, reinforcements are coming.


    The county magistrate waved the soldiers back, but said, "my Lord, even if reinforcements come, it''s far away from Chengdu to Quren county. Liu Xiu''s army has entered Quren county. Now what we''re facing is that once we can''t solve the crisis before the army arrives, it''s useless. Wu Yi came to resist Liu Xiu, not to Quren county. "


    When Huang Quan heard the words, he could not help sighing.


    The problem is very serious!


    The expression of Huang Quan is dignified, but it is quite pondering.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, another soldier came in from the outside.


    Huangquan is already wilting, can not lift what spirit, asked: "what news?"


    The soldier replied, "my Lord, someone is asking for help outside the mansion. His name was Qian Tong, a businessman. He said that he has a way to solve the county magistrate''s current dilemma. "


    "Qian Tong? Businessmen. "


    As soon as Huang Quan''s brows are picked, he is now in trouble, and there is nothing he can do.


    Now that someone is willing to help, he is very happy.


    Huang Quan big sleeve a whisk, wave a hand way: "please!"


    The soldiers went down to convey the order. Soon, a rich young man in a royal robe came in. Beside him, there was a handsome middle-aged man.


    This rich man is Huo Jun.


    The middle-aged man is Chen Dao, who plays Huo Jun''s guard.


    Huo Jun''s big sleeves trembled, his long sleeves rolled in the air, like a cloud dancing. His chin rose slightly, and he said slightly arrogantly: "I''ve met the magistrate of Huang County in Qiantong."


    With a smile, Huang Quan said, "Mr. Qian, please sit down."


    Huo Jun sits down while Chen Dao stands behind him.


    Huang Quan added: "listen to the soldiers, Mr. Qian has a way to solve the official''s dilemma."


    Huo Jun laughed and said: "I''m well-informed. I heard that Liu Xiu has come to attack Quren county. Now although Liu Yizhou has sent Wu Yi to rescue, the rescue troops are still some time away from their arrival. And this period of time, I am afraid, is exactly the most difficult time for Huang County. If it can be held back, Huangxian will make nature safe. If you can''t stop it, you don''t know life or death. "


    Huang Quan said with a smile: "Mr. Qian has a bright eye. This is really the current predicament of my official. But I don''t know how Mr. Qian plans to resolve the current crisis? "


    Huo Jun said with a smile: "it''s easy to resolve the crisis, but let''s talk about the conditions first. If Huang Xianling is willing to agree, it will not be too late for us to talk about a solution. "


    Huang Quan waved his hand and said, "please, sir."


    Huo Jun didn''t even think about it. He said directly, "my terms are very simple. But in the future, as long as we mark Qian''s goods with Qian''s name, they will all be tax-free and free."


    Brush!


    After hearing this, Huang Quan''s face became solemn.


    Duty free!


    No money!


    Such conditions can be called harsh. You know, the reason why a county has sufficient finance is that on the one hand, people pay money and grain, and more importantly, businessmen pay taxes.


    Huang Quan looked at Huo Jun and said, "Sir, this is the lion''s big mouth."

 Chapter 527

    Huo Jun, however, chuckled and dusted his robe on his thigh. He said with a straight face, "can Huang County Magistrate stop Liu Xiu with his present troops and grain?"


    Huang Quan said: "it has not been carried out, and the outcome is unknown."


    Huo Jun shook his head and said with a smile, "if you know yourself and your enemy, you can''t win a hundred battles. Now Huangxian county can''t even face up to its own situation. I''m afraid the outcome is unknown. In my opinion, if it''s such a gesture, it must be a downfall. "


    Huang Quan narrowed his eyes and examined Huo Jun.


    A moment later, Huang Quan said, "Mr. Qian, who can explain the changes in the battlefield?"


    Huo Jun said: "if the husband does not fight and the temple counts the winner, he must count more; if the temple counts the winner, he must count less. As a magistrate of a county, Huang County Magistrate should understand the key. It''s just a yellow line. I have to deny it. It''s meaningless to talk about it next time. "


    As soon as the big sleeve brushed, Huo Jun stood up.


    "Magistrate Huang, goodbye!"


    Huo Jun turned around and walked out of the hall.


    Chen Dao follows Huo Jun with a strange look on his face. He didn''t expect Huo Jun to be so reckless. It''s really amazing that he''ll leave if he doesn''t agree.


    Huo Jun went out. At the beginning, huangquan did not stop him.


    In his opinion, this is Qian Tong''s posturing.


    However, when Huo Jun came to the gate, there was still no hesitation. Huang Quan was flustered, and even said: "Mr. Qian, wait a minute!"


    It is an indisputable fact that Quren county is in crisis.


    It''s no use for him to quibble about it.


    Huo Jun turned around and said, "is there anything else for Huang Xian Ling to say?"


    Huang Quan had a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Qian, please sit down! Mr. Qian, sit down first


    Huo Jun hesitated for a moment. Finally, he shook his sleeve robe again and returned to the hall. Instead of opening his mouth, he looked at the spring and waited for the answer.


    Huang Chuen sighed and said, "to tell you the truth, Mr. Qian, Quren county is already a place where people are floating. Whether it is the number of soldiers in the county, or the morale of the soldiers, or the people in the county, it is already turbulent. Even the county''s grain has encountered problems. It''s hard to resist Liu Xiu''s army. "


    In a word, Huang Quan told the truth.


    In today''s situation, without the support of reinforcements, it is difficult for him to resist Liu Xiu''s army.


    Huo Jun said with a smile: "since Huang County Magistrate understands the current situation, it should be clear that I''m not demanding, because I have to pay a huge price to help Huang County Magistrate resist. On the other hand, the yellow line only exempts Qian''s tax. If you collect a little less tax, it will have little impact on you. "


    Huangquan also really has no way, said: "well, as long as Mr. Qian can help me keep the county seat, then all Mr. Qian''s business goods are exempt from tax."


    "Cheerfulness!"


    Huo Jun''s mouth was full of a smile.


    "What is Mr. Qian going to do?" asked Huang Quan


    Huo Jun said with a smile: "no matter what I do, I will persuade the aristocratic families in Huangxian city to give them food and private soldiers to resist Liu Xiu in three days. As long as these big families support it, it''s not a problem for Huang County to resist Liu Xiu. They can certainly support the way of reinforcements. "


    "It''s not easy to persuade the aristocratic families," said Huang Quan


    Huo Jun said: "this is what I''m doing. Huang County doesn''t need to worry. In three days, there will be results. " After a pause, Huo Jun said, "if things go well, it doesn''t even take three days."


    "In this way, I will wait for good news," said Huang Quan


    "No hurry, no hurry!"


    Huo Jun shook his head and said: "empty talk, it doesn''t count. If it doesn''t work out, "he said


    Huang Quan said, "what does Mr. Qian want to do?"


    Huo Jun said firmly: "set up a letter, and then affix the seal of the county magistrate."


    Huang Quan''s face suddenly turned black.


    There was a look of anger in his eyes.


    Huang Quan has promised Qian Tong verbally. He thinks he is tolerant enough. He didn''t expect that Qian Tong wanted him to set up a letter. This is ridiculous. Just imagine that the magistrate of Tangtang quren County even set up a letter to ask for help. Once this matter is spread, will his face be changed? Even that''s the handle.


    In any case, Huang Quan is not willing to set up a document.


    Huang Quan said: "Mr. Qian, I can promise to agree to your request, but I''m sorry that I can''t agree to the matter of writing. Your request is too much. "


    Huo Jun sneered: "too much? I don''t think it''s too much. Compared with the loss of quren County, there is a chance to delay the arrival of reinforcements by setting up a document. Is this really too much? County magistrate, think it over. "


    "Don''t talk about it any more," said Huang Quan


    Huo Jun sighed, said: "business can not be done, benevolence and righteousness in the yellow county magistrate, goodbye."


    After that, Huo Jun stood up for the second time.Huo Jun looked at huangquan and said, "magistrate Huang, you can''t have both fish and bear''s paw. I wish you can stop Liu Xiu."


    As soon as the big sleeve blows, Huo Jun goes out.


    This time, it was even faster to walk out of the door. Without any hesitation, Huo Jun steps out of the gate and leaves with Chen Dao.


    When Huang Quan saw Qian Tong''s decisive departure, he suddenly became flustered.


    In fact, there is a guess in Huang Quan''s mind.


    Huang Quan thinks that Qian Tong''s leaving is just to coerce him, but Qian Tong''s leaving makes Huang Quan nervous. Because he now wants food, not enough food, not enough soldiers, unable to resist the attack.


    Huang Quan quickly got up, ran straight out of the hall door, looked at Qian Tong''s back and said in a loud voice: "Mr. Qian, wait a minute!"


    Huo Jun heard it, but he didn''t stop at all and went straight out.


    Chen Dao follows Huojun. He knows the purpose of Huojun. We can see that Huojun keeps going out. Suddenly understand the intention of Huo Jun, the more so, in order to make things more true, let Huo Jun further believe.


    Sure enough, huangquan is even more anxious.


    "Kick! Kick


    Huang Quan quickly trots to Huo Jun and blocks his way.


    Huo Jun said, "what is the reason for this?"


    Huang Quan stood up straight, folded his hands in front of Huo Jun, bowed his hands respectfully, and then said, "Mr. Qian, Huang has offended so much, please forgive me. Sir, please come inside


    Huo Jun said: "Huang Xian Ling is not willing to set up a written document. What else can we say? There is no way to talk about it any more. Therefore, the Huang County Magistrate doesn''t have to worry about it. "


    With a smile on his face, Huang Quan said, "Mr. Qian, I am willing to set up a letter."


    "Really?" Huo Jun has a suspicious tone.


    "Nature!" said Huang Quan


    Up to now, Huang Quan has no alternative, he can only agree to Huo Jun''s request.


    The expression on Huo Jun''s face just slightly eases, way: "since so, please!"


    Huang Quan waved Huo Jun to go first, and the three returned to the hall. Huang Quan directly ordered the attendant to bring the ink, paper and inkstone. After grinding the ink, he wrote down the notes.


    Huo Jun took the note and looked at it again. He shook his head and said, "magistrate Huang, the note is not right."


    In Huang Quan''s heart, he cursed many things, but he could only say, "what''s wrong?"


    Huo Jun said: "there is no time. The time must be added to the letter. It should be noted that during the term of Huangxian decree, all Qian''s business goods will not be taxed."


    When Huang Quan heard this, he cursed a cunning boy.


    Time really matters.


    If there is no time as a limit, then he will naturally be able to find a reason to go back.


    Huang Quan didn''t say anything. Since the other party put forward it, he obediently added the time limit, and then stamped the county magistrate''s seal on the new writ, and handed it to Huo Jun.


    Huo Jun then nodded with satisfaction and said, "magistrate Huang, wait for good news."


    "Goodbye!"


    Huo Jun turns around and leaves with Chen Dao.


    After he got out of the house and boarded the carriage, Chen Zhi said with a smile: "Huo Jun''s practice completely dispelled Huang Quan''s doubts. The next thing is much easier. "


    "That''s nature!"


    Huo Jun looks confident and calm in his eyes. The reason why he leaves again and again is to gain the trust of huangquan.


    Only when Huang Quan put down his guard will he go according to his plan.


    Huo Jun said with a smile: "General Chen, our first step plan has been successful. Now, consider the second step. Let''s go and visit the Qu family in Quren county. "

 Chapter 528

    Qu family, located in the north of the city.


    In quren County, the Qu family is second to none.


    Huo Jun''s carriage came slowly and stopped at the gate.


    Huo Jun and Chen got out of the carriage and went to the gate. Huo Jun knocked on the door. Not long after that, a servant opened the door, looked at Huo Jun and said, "what''s the matter with you?"


    Huo Jun handed up the post and said, "I''m here to send you great wealth for the Qu family."


    "Er..."


    After listening, the attendant was stunned.


    What is that?


    Great wealth?


    Is the boy in front of you crazy?


    However, when the attendant saw that the visitor was well-dressed and dignified, as if he were a noble childe, he did not dare to underestimate him. He rolled his eyes and said, "wait!"


    And the servant took the letter, and turned back.


    Chen said, "is that ok?"


    Huo Jun said with a smile, "if you don''t try, how can you know?"


    Chen Dao said nothing more. He looked at Huo Jun with a trace of admiration in his eyes. Huo Jun is not old, but his every move is magnificent and energetic. Such talents are rare even under Liu Bei. But under Liu Xiu''s command, Huo Jun is just a humble soldier Cao.


    Under Liu Xiu''s command, there are so many talents!


    In his heart, Chen couldn''t help thinking, if Liu Bei had more talents, would he be invincible? But just think about it. Now he is Liu Xiu''s head.


    After a while, the door opened again.


    "Come with me," said the attendant


    Huo Jun looks at Chen Dao and smiles. Then he flicks his sleeve and follows the attendant to the study.


    Came to the study, Huo Jun saw sitting on the head of a Haoshou old man. This man''s age is about sixty, and his face is covered with age spots, but his spirit is very good, and he doesn''t feel gloomy at all.


    This man is the head of the Qu family.


    Qu Lin has been the head of the family for more than 30 years. Before he was the head of the family, the Qu family was just an ordinary family in Qu county and could not be ranked. After Qu Lin became the head of the family, he made great efforts to set up schools in the family to cultivate family talents.


    At the same time, it also developed the business of Qu family.


    In a short period of 30 years, many talents emerged in the Qu family, and they became officials.


    In addition, the economic strength of the Qu family is also growing. It''s no exaggeration to say that Qu Lin is the God of the sea of the Qu family. In a word, he can decide the life and death of anyone in the Qu family.


    Huo Jun saluted and said, "Qian Tong, I''ve met Qu Lao."


    "Sit down!"


    Qu Lin waved to Huo Jun to take his seat.


    "Thank you, Mr. Qu!"


    Huo Jun sat down while Chen Dao sat down.


    Qu Lin saw the comer and looked calm. He said, "you sent someone to see me off. I don''t know what you are going to do?"


    At Qu Lin''s age, he had been unable to move. He saw Huo Jun because he was just curious and wanted to hear what Huo Jun said.


    Huo Jun said: "first, the Qu family does business in Quren county and does not collect any taxes; second, the Qu family is in the eyes of Liu Zhang, a herdsman in Yizhou."


    "Oh, what a big tone!"


    Qu Lin''s eyes also showed a look of surprise.


    Both the first and the second are equally difficult.


    Many people in the Qu family became officials, but most of them were in Quren county. There was not even a Quren county magistrate. It is not so easy to get into Liu Zhang''s eyes.


    It is even more difficult to exempt the business goods in Quren county from tax. Who dares to promise such a thing.


    Huo Jun said: "Qu Lao, if I dare to say it, I will have a way."


    Qu Lin said: "how to do it?"


    Huo Jun said with a smile: "try to resist Liu Xiu''s army."


    "Ha


    When Qu Lin heard the speech, he could not recognize the irony.


    Huo Jun is not impatient, way: "Qu always how to see Liu Xiu?"


    Qu Lin stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "I''m sorry for the talent of the world. Liu Xiu has come with his soldiers. Quren county may not be able to stop him."


    Huo Jun zhengse way: "if there is no Qulao take the lead in resistance, quren County certainly can not stop."


    Qu Lin said, "I can''t help Huang Quan resist Liu Xiu."


    Huo Jun said with a smile, "Qu''s plan is to shut the door and not resist or welcome, right?"


    Qu Lin said: "yes!"


    Huo Jun shook his head, a look of sympathy: "Qu is also a respected person in quren County, don''t you know Liu Xiu? In Jingzhou, he had promoted poor families and suppressed aristocratic families. The biggest aristocratic family, the Cai family, was wiped out and many aristocratic families were restricted. "


    "Not long ago, there was a fight between the poor family and the aristocratic family in Jing, and finally the aristocratic family was beaten again."


    "Liu Xiu is quite afraid of his family.""Once Liu Xiu captured quren County, in order to eradicate the influence of the aristocratic family on quren County, I''m afraid he would be the first to take the Qu family into action. As long as all the QUS give in, who else can disobey him? "


    Huo Jun''s expression was calm, and he said lightly, "didn''t Mr. Qu ever hear the news from Liu Xiu?"


    After listening, Qu Lin''s expression became serious.


    Qu Lin naturally knew the news about Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu''s suppression of his aristocratic family and promotion to a poor family are well known, not something that can be concealed.


    Between Qu Lin''s eyebrows, there was a little more haze.


    Huo Jun sees this with a smile on his mouth. He doesn''t intend to persuade Qu Lin with a smooth tongue. He just tells Qu Lin the truth to let him know Liu Xiu''s attitude towards his family.


    Huo Jun continued: "of course, Mr. Qu can also make a bet that Liu Xiu won''t make an operation on the Qu family."


    Qu Lin laughed and said, "if I resist, what should I do?"


    Huo Jun said: "if Mr. Qu is willing to resist, he will be able to resist. Specifically, Mr. Qu naturally called together the family members of Quren county to work together with the government to resist Liu Xiu. Now the reinforcements are on the way. As long as we delay until the reinforcements arrive, everything will be OK. "


    After hearing this, Qu Lin changed the subject and said, "what''s the matter with the exemption of taxes on all commercial goods?"


    Huo Jun took out the letter written by Huang Quan, put it on Qu Lin''s desk, and said: "this is the promise given by Huang Xian Ling. As long as the Qu family''s shop bears the name of my Qian family, it will be tax-free. Moreover, I won''t take any money from the Qu family. "


    Qu Lin now, has understood the meaning of the youth in front of him.


    To lure them to benefit is to benefit the Qu family.


    Emotional, is to let the Qu family know the current situation.


    However, Qu Lin was really agitated. He looked at Huo Jun and said, "Mr. Qian plans for huangquan and the Qu family. So, what does Mr. Qian do for? "


    Huo Jun smile, way: "for name, also seek profit."


    "Good for fame and profit. Good, I promise you." Qu Lin is also a decisive person. He knows that Liu Xiu''s attitude towards the aristocratic family is that he has no choice but to resist.


    Huo Jun said with a smile, "since Mr. Qu agrees, I''ll invite the principal of every family now."


    "Yes


    Qu Lin did not hesitate, immediately called the housekeeper, let the housekeeper to arrange. Qu Lin changed his words and said, "Mr. Qian, a young and outstanding man, should not be a nobody. But how can I not know your excellency? "


    Qu Lin also admired Qian Tong.


    Qian Tong didn''t have anything in his hand, but he got the support of Huang Quan in exchange for the white wolf. Now he has got his support. Such a scheme and means is not simple.


    Huo Jun said with a light smile: "I''m not from Quren county. I''ve been in Chengdu before, but I didn''t show up. Now there is a war in quren County, and I''m here. "


    Qu Lin said, "Mr. Qian is really a master of Arts. Is he not afraid of failure?"


    Huo Jun''s expression was even more indifferent, saying: "I always believe in a truth, failure is often the beginning of success. Even if I fail this time, it will lay the foundation for my next success. It''s not terrible to lose. What''s terrible is to lose and have no courage to fight again. "


    "Good!"


    Qu Lin''s eyes twinkled, and he was also infected by Huo Jun''s words.


    After a brief chat, they went out of the study and went to the hall. It''s impossible for people from different families to come here to discuss business in the study. It must be in the hall.

 Chapter 529

    It wasn''t long. All the families were here.


    As everyone sat down, Qu Lin looked at the family members, pointed to Huo Jun, who was sitting at the top on the left, and said, "ladies and gentlemen, I''d like to introduce you to a young hero named Qian Tong."


    Huo Jun stood up, bowed his hands to all the people present, and said, "I''ve seen you."


    In a word, neither humble nor overbearing.


    Huo Jun sat down again, but he was still in no hurry to speak.


    Qu Lin continued: "I invited you here to discuss how to resist Liu Xiu."


    WOW!


    As soon as the words came out, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.


    The expressions on the faces of the aristocratic families were dignified, even reluctant.


    The reason is very simple. Once we want to resist Liu Xiu''s army, we have to pay for it. Under such circumstances, all the families had to pay, so no one was willing to resist Liu Xiu''s army.


    After throwing out the theme, Qu Lin said: "this matter is led by my husband, but it is Mr. Qian''s plan. Now, let''s ask Mr. Qian to elaborate on resisting Liu Xiu. "


    Qu Lin knows about resisting Liu Xiu, but he is too lazy to say so.


    Anyway, there is Qiantong.


    Huo Jun stood up, his face to all of you, the face is very calm, not impatient way: "just Qu said resist Liu Xiu things, I see you face expression is very dignified, even a reluctant look."


    "I feel and understand this."


    "The reason is very simple. No one wants to fight. This war will kill people. Fighting and rescuing will affect business."


    "But now the situation is that people are taking me as fish. Liu Xiu has come to kill us with a knife. We are fish on the chopping board. If we don''t resist, we will become Liu Xiu''s mouthpiece."


    Huo Jun talked with confidence and calmness, and said: "you are all people with vision and insight. You must know Liu Xiu. Although he is Liu Biao''s son, he comes from a big family. "


    "However, this man is very strict with his family, but he promotes poor families everywhere."


    "What Liu Xiu did was to regard his aristocratic family as a monster, and his humble family as his own son."


    "Once Liu Xiu broke quren County, he would fight against the aristocratic family in order to kill people and make them dare not resist. Some of you here will become the ghosts of Liu Xiu. "


    There is a little threat in Huo Jun''s words.


    The principal of an aristocratic family is humanity: "it''s true that Liu Xiu suppressed the aristocratic family, but if I take the initiative to surrender and be loyal, he won''t kill us."


    This remark has been accepted by countless people.


    Many of the leaders of the aristocratic families spoke one after another and felt that surrender was also a good plan.


    Huo Jun laughs, but the laughter is full of irony.


    This action immediately attracted countless people to question Huo Jun one by one. But Huo Jun''s face remained unchanged, and he said faintly: "you are now in charge of your own families. If you want the wind to get the wind and the rain to get the rain, are you really willing to be loyal to Liu Xiu


    "If you don''t like it, it''s possible for Liu Xiu to demolish the bridge after he has brought you down."


    "What''s more, Huang County Magistrate failed to resist Liu Xiu in the end. It''s hard to guarantee that he won''t jump over the wall in a hurry."


    Huo Jun looked at the family leader who had just spoken and said, "if Liu Xiu is ready to welcome the aristocratic family, we can surrender naturally. But Liu Xiu is very targeted at the aristocratic family, so in the current situation, even if Huang Quan surrenders, we can''t surrender. "


    A simple remark won the approval of many people.


    One face after another, already moved.


    Qu Lin saw in his eyes that Huo Jun had a good eloquence. He seized the opportunity and said in a loud voice: "no matter what you decide, I have decided to fight Liu Xiu to the end. Now the reinforcements are on their way. As long as they hold down Liu Xiu''s army, we can only win. "


    With Qu Lin''s words, it''s like putting a sea god needle in everyone''s heart.


    Many family leaders have no other thoughts.


    Seeing this, Huo Jun said again, "I admire Qu Laogao. But people have their own aspirations, and we can''t force them. So now, here''s a proposal. Those who are willing to resist Liu Xiu will stay in the hall now. Those who are not willing to resist Liu Xiu can leave now. I would rather have differences now than have internal strife when I was fighting against Liu Xiu. "


    Qu Lin nodded and said: "Mr. Qian Tong''s words are very reasonable. If you want to quit, please come out now. If it''s to block my way when I''m fighting against Liu Xiu, I''ll never let it go. "


    The tone is relaxed, but it is murderous.


    Everyone in the hall sat upright and did not leave.


    All of you are human spirits. If you really leave now, I''m afraid you will be charged with colluding with Liu Xiu. This is absolutely impossible. You''d rather stay than leave.


    Huo Jun saw that everyone would not leave, with a bright smile on his face, and said: "since you do not leave, it proves that everyone is willing to resist. So now, let''s discuss how many soldiers and food each family will provide. The grain and private soldiers that are to be taken out must be led by someone, but now we have to make sure that we admit defeat and that we have food. "Qu Lin took the lead and took the lead in saying: "the Qu family will send out 2000 private soldiers and 2000 stone grains."


    Two thousand private soldiers, two thousand stone grain.


    For a county like quren County, two thousand people and two thousand stone grains are already a considerable amount. Huo Jun is quite surprised, did not expect that Qu Lin is so pay, this courage is really extraordinary.


    "Mr. Qian, our Shen family has 800 private soldiers and 600 stone grain."


    "Our Yang family sent out 1000 private soldiers and 800 stone grain."


    "My Zhang family sent out 600 private soldiers and 700 stone grain."


    ¡­¡­


    One after another, the family members expressed their views, all of which were more or less grain and soldiers. However, among all the people, the Qu family is still the leader, and the Qu family has the most private soldiers and food.


    Huo Jun wrote down all of them. He counted them down and said, "I counted them down. The total number of people who admitted defeat was 15000, and the total amount of grain was 11800 stones. With this batch of food and soldiers, I believe it will be enough to delay the arrival of reinforcements. Even once reinforcements arrive, we can even counterattack. "


    All the families nodded their heads.


    Liu Xiu''s military strength is 30000, while the major families have 15000, which accounts for half of Liu Xiu''s military strength. In addition, the soldiers of Huangxian county and the coming reinforcements have surpassed Liu Xiu''s strength. Besides, they are resisting, not attacking.


    Huo Jun added: "the food and soldiers are all together, so now we have to consider the people who manage the food and lead the soldiers. It''s just that these two people not only need to reassure you, but also need to negotiate with Huang Xianling. They are not competent. So I volunteered to be responsible for the distribution of grain. "


    As soon as these words come out, all of you look at me, and I look at you with distrust in your eyes.


    Every family has to provide food. If the person in charge is one of them, the others will not be at ease.


    Under such circumstances, Huo Jun is the most suitable person.


    Qu Lin wanted to understand the problem and took the lead in saying, "I agree with Mr. Qian Tong in managing grain. What''s your opinion?"


    "No problem!"


    "Mr. Qian is in charge of the management of grain, which is the most appropriate arrangement."


    "According to Mr. Qian''s arrangement."


    They all answered in unison, but they didn''t refute Qu Lin''s arrangement. They also agreed to Huo Jun''s voluntary recommendation.


    Huo Jun nodded and said, "thank you for your kindness, but I am not respectful. But there''s another thing, and that''s the leader of the army. I''d like to suggest that Mr. Qu arrange one person to lead the team. "


    With a smile in his mouth, Qu Lin said: "this boy is interesting enough."


    Qu Lin is naturally willing to make such an arrangement.


    They all agreed to the Qu family.


    Huo Jun guides the things to go on. In less than half an hour, he arranges all the things, and then the people disperse. Huo Jun goes back to the county government to visit huangquan, tells him the news, and asks huangquan to prepare for resistance, and then goes to the place where the grain will be stored.

 Chapter 530

    It took less than half a month for Liu Xiu''s army to reach Quren county.


    The army was arrayed outside the city, and the drums were beating, which made the atmosphere in the city tense.


    Liu Xiu rode to the lower part of the city, looked up at the upper part of the city and said in a loud voice, "where is Quren county magistrate?"


    "I am the official!"


    Huang Quan step out, his hands on the tower, eyes staring at Liu Xiu. But in his heart, there is a trace of uneasiness. In the face of Liu Donghe''s great pressure to fight against him, Liu Dongxiu is under great pressure.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Quan and said, "I''ve come to fight against you. Today, you open the gate of the city and follow the tide. I''ll let you continue to be the magistrate of Quren county. If you resist stubbornly, don''t blame me for being impolite. "


    Huang Quan raised his chin and said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, don''t be rampant. The city is here. If you have the ability, you can attack it. "


    Liu Xiu said: "rotten wood can''t be carved!"


    "Huang Quan said:" less nonsense, you have the ability to attack the city is


    Liu Xiu see the other party is not willing to surrender, sneer twice, on the policy back to the army. Instead of fighting, Liu Xiu ordered his troops to retreat and stay six li away.


    Liu Xiu''s army retreated, but Huang Quan was stunned.


    What''s going on?


    On the city tower, the people of the major families were also silly.


    Liu xiusu is a strong and unrivalled man. How can he withdraw when he orders Huang Quan to surrender?


    It''s weird!


    In Huang Quan''s heart, there is such an idea.


    Looking at the men under his command and the soldiers of other great families, Huang Quan ordered: "Liu Xiu will withdraw, but be careful that they will kill him. Be careful not to let up. "


    "No!"


    People are afraid to relax when they are ordered.


    After all, it was Liu Xiu who came.


    On the other hand, Liu Xiu came back to the camp, sat down in the tent, and sent for Pang Tong and Jia Xu. Liu Xiu had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "the army has arrived in Quren county. Now we are waiting for the news from Huo Jun and Chen Dao. But apart from that, I''m not going to wait. I''m going to send a team of soldiers to harass me in the evening. What do you think? "


    Pang Tong said: "harassing strategy is also good, so that the other party can not rest well, in this way, can also consume the other party''s morale."


    Jia Xu said: "true and false, false and real. Since it is to harass, we can actually send a team of soldiers out to let them attack the city occasionally. In this case, the soldiers in the city can not live in peace. "


    Liu Xiu also nodded when he heard the speech.


    The three did not discuss other strategies, because the plan to conquer Quren county is in progress.


    At night, the soldiers in the army had settled down.


    Liu Xiu sent a team of soldiers, quietly approaching the city tower of Quren county.


    There are only a thousand soldiers in this group.


    The soldiers arrived outside the city, looked at the bright lights on the top of the city, and beat the drums.


    "Dong! Dong


    All of a sudden, the drums of war resounded in the night sky.


    The sound reverberated into the city.


    When the patrolling soldiers heard this, they immediately stood on guard, and then they all grasped the weapons in their hands. In addition, the soldiers stationed on the tower, even the soldiers stationed in the tower, all took action.


    Huang Quan is always on the tower. During the day, he saw that Liu Xiu didn''t attack the city. He thought that there might be a sneak attack at night, so he prepared early. Now when he heard the drum, he turned over and killed him with his sword.


    When he came to the tower, Huang Quan roared: "prepare for war! Prepare to fight. "


    The soldiers under his command were more active.


    A steady stream of soldiers rushed up to the tower and assembled on it. They were on guard.


    "Dong! Dong


    The drums, they''re still going on.


    In the dark, no soldier rushed out.


    The name of the leader of the Qu family was Qu Zheng, the son of Qu Lin. He is nearly forty years old, but he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is strong and strong. Qu Zheng glanced out of the city and listened. His face wrinkled and he said, "magistrate Huang, there is no footstep outside the city, not even a cry to kill. In my opinion, this is Liu Xiu''s strategy of harassing. "


    Huang Quan stares at the outside of the city, his expression is solemn, his eyes are tense, and he doesn''t feel relaxed.


    Thinking for a moment, the drum has stopped.


    All around, everything is quiet.


    Huang Quan looked for a moment, nodded and said: "this situation should be harassment. Hum, Liu Xiu is really cunning. It''s hateful to send soldiers to harass me at night. "


    Qu Zheng said: "it''s not surprising that attacking and harassing the two armies is the most normal strategy. County Magistrate Huang, I went to sleep. "


    Then Qu Zheng yawned.


    Then, Qu Zheng with the soldiers of the major families retreated and went to sleep again.


    Huang Quan watched the soldiers of his family retreat, but did not order the soldiers stationed in the garrison building to retreat. Instead, he stayed for another quarter of an hour. Seeing that there was really no response outside the city, he ordered: "all the soldiers except the garrison will go down to have a rest."The soldiers disbanded, and huangquan was ready to go back to rest.


    "Dong! Dong


    All of a sudden, the war drums outside the city began to ring.


    The voice was very rapid. Among the drums, there seemed to be thousands of troops galloping forward.


    As soon as Huang Quan was ready to go down for a rest, he turned around and stared at the outside of the city. With the continuous sound of war drums, all the soldiers who just left came back, including Qu Zheng who just went down.


    Qu Zheng''s face was full of fatigue, and he said in a loud voice: "magistrate Huang, is Jingzhou army coming?"


    Huang Quan shook his head and said, "I haven''t seen anyone yet."


    "Damn it


    Qu Zheng''s face is quite tired. No matter who is tossed about like this, the mood in his heart is not much better.


    Countless soldiers, once again, gathered on the city floor.


    However, the battle drums continued, but no soldiers emerged outside the city.


    Cheated!


    Huang Quan saw this scene and knew that he had been cheated again.


    These damn Jingzhou soldiers!


    In Huang Quan''s heart, he cursed, and even felt that Jingzhou soldiers were too hateful. If they wanted to start a war, they would kill them openly. They were full of such small tricks. It was really hard to be elegant.


    Qu Zheng put his hands on the wall and said, "magistrate Huang, it''s not good to go on like this. If there is a battle drum outside the city, we will have to come up to fight, then we won''t have to sleep tonight. If so, it''s in Liu Xiu''s heart. "


    "Indeed, we have to change our strategy," Huang said


    "What shall we do?"


    Qu Zheng''s eyes fell on Huang Quan. Although he was the commander of the private soldiers of various aristocratic families, the county magistrate of Huang Quan was still in charge of the general direction.


    Huang Quan thought for a moment and said, "well, the defense on the tower is temporarily garrisoned by the soldiers under my command. No matter whether there are drums outside the city or not, we are responsible for the inspection. Once Liu Xiu''s soldiers really attack the city, at that time, I will let the soldiers under my command blow the horn. When the horn rings, you come up again to meet the enemy. In this way, we can avoid the influence of war drums outside the city. "


    Qu Zheng is also a bright eye, said: "this is a good way."


    With a smug look on his face, Huang Quan said, "well, go down and have a rest."


    "Goodbye!"


    Qu Zheng nodded heavily and retreated with the soldiers.


    Huang Quan stayed on the top of the tower. He looked at the soldiers under his command and said, "the Jingzhou soldiers outside the city are here to harass. No matter how the war drums sound outside, there is no need to mobilize troops. Only with the sound of the equal sign horn can the army gather on the upper floor of the city. "


    After giving the order, huangquan disbanded the army on the top of the city, leaving only a part of the soldiers on patrol.


    After everything is arranged, huangquan is going to have a rest.


    When he lies down to rest, he sleeps peacefully to avoid wasting time when he suddenly gets up. When he was sleepy, there was a drum beating in his ear.


    All of a sudden, the yellow spring has awakened.


    It''s just that the sound of the battle drums outside the city is harassing, and people close their eyes to sleep.


    After the third drumbeat, about a quarter of an hour later, there was another drumbeat. This time, the sound of war drums awakened him, but the sound of war drums for four times in a row made him numb.


    I don''t care about the sound of drums.


    The soldiers stationed on the upper floors of the city relaxed their vigilance when they encountered the sound of battle drums. They were very relaxed and didn''t worry about being attacked at night.

 Chapter 531

    Barracks, big account.


    Liu Xiu had already had a rest. From Yufu County, he felt that the soldiers in Quren county were tired all the way over the mountains. Liu Xiu was also quite tired, so he decided to lie down and have a rest.


    After a short rest, I heard Deng Zhan''s voice outside the camp tent: "Lord, General Chen is back."


    Liu Xiu suddenly opened his eyes and began to do it quickly.


    Putting on his clothes, Liu Xiu came to the tent.


    After seeing Chen, Liu Xiu said: "uncle to hard, sit down!"


    "Thank you


    Chen Dao gave a boxing salute, and then sat down.


    Liu Xiu said, "how is the plan going?"


    With a look of excitement on his face, Chen Dao said, "everything is going well. Now the food supply in the city is in Huo Jun''s hands. As long as the Lord orders, he can destroy each other''s food at any time. Without food, there will be chaos in the city immediately. "


    Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "today is the first day of our arrival. The morale of the officers and soldiers guarding the city is booming. Tomorrow I''ll arrange the siege, and tomorrow night I''ll continue to harass for another night. At noon the day after tomorrow, at noon, you set fire to grain in the city. Then I ordered the siege. "


    "Yes


    Chen to boxing should be under, then ready to go back.


    At night, he quietly found a dead corner to climb out of the wall.


    Liu Xiu said: "we must pay attention to safety!"


    Chen Dao said, "yes, I will understand."


    After seeing Chen off, Liu Xiucai went back to have a rest. At this time, Liu Xiu''s heart was more stable. Huo Jun and Chen Dao have completed the plan, so it''s easier to operate, everything is under control.


    ¡­¡­


    Quren County, outside the city.


    After the four-way battle drum, there was no reaction on the tower.


    Obviously, the soldiers on the tower thought that Liu Xiu deliberately harassed the soldiers on the tower and did not let them rest.


    With a smile on his lips, one of the leading officers, Xiaowei, looked at the generals under his command and said, "it''s time for us to fight for a while. Remember, we don''t love war. Once the garrison appears, we will withdraw immediately. "


    "I understand!"


    The generals nodded, and their faces were clear.


    "Beat the drum!"


    At the command of the captain, the war drum sounded again.


    The roaring drums sounded, and the voice became more and more urgent. The captain had pulled out his sword, held it high and pointed to the front, and gave a loud order: "kill!"


    "Kill


    "Kill


    Neat cry, suddenly resounded up.


    The voice, more than the battle drums, is full of high morale.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    Dense soldiers rushed out and quickly approached the tower. The distance of 100 Zhang, constantly close, and the soldiers cry to kill shocked the soldiers stationed on the city floor.


    The general in charge of guarding the city heard the voice and waited for a moment. He had already seen the Jingzhou soldiers killed. He was startled and roared: "Jingzhou soldiers are really coming. Blow the horn, blow the horn!"


    At this moment, the garrison soldiers on the tower are very nervous.


    Looking from the tower, you can see the Jingzhou soldiers coming with the help of the fire in the tower, and there are also some ladders coming. It''s really frightening.


    "Woo! Woo


    The sound of long horn reverberates on the tower.


    This voice awakened Huang Quan and Qu Zheng. They both got up quickly.


    Qu Zheng takes the soldiers to rush to the city tower, and Huang Quan rushes out. Looking at the Jingzhou soldiers who have rushed outside the city, he orders the soldiers to be on guard.


    In a short time, the Jingzhou soldiers had already approached Chenglou. A ladder up, a soldier began to sprint.


    Countless soldiers, starting to climb up.


    At this time, officers and soldiers had already gathered on the upper floor of the city.


    Qu Zheng came up with the soldiers, and huangquan was in place. Everyone was ready.


    "Dang! Dang! "


    All of a sudden, the harsh sound of gongs resounded again outside the city.


    After the continuous sound, it was not long before we saw that Liu Xiu''s Jingzhou soldiers no longer climbed up or rushed forward, but turned around and left.


    Just now, I was still rushing forward like a wolf, but now it''s like the tide receding.


    Harass!


    This time it''s another attack, not a siege.


    Seeing this scene outside the city, Huang Quan was dumbfounded, and his face was full of astonishment.


    Qu Zheng frowned and said, "magistrate Huang, we''ve been cheated again."


    Huang Quan clenched his fist, hammered hard on the wall, and said: "these Jingzhou soldiers are so cunning that they actually approach the tower and then withdraw. It''s really confusing."


    Qu Zheng glanced at the soldiers under his command with a touch of worry in his eyes.By this time, it was late at night.


    The people under his command did not sleep well. They yawned one by one, and their faces were very uncomfortable. Obviously, affected by the harassment, these soldiers did not rest well.


    Qu Zheng said: "there must be a solution to this matter. Otherwise, the next time there is such a situation, we are still a group of people rushing up to resist, which can only make Liu Xiu laugh when he falls asleep. "


    When Huang Quan hears the speech, he can''t help nodding. This is really the case. If we don''t arrange it now, it will be more troublesome. The soldiers don''t have to sleep all night.


    "What can you do?" asked Huang Quan


    After listening, Qu Zheng fell into deep meditation.


    A moment later, Qu Zheng said, "why don''t you take the soldiers to the garrison building tonight. My soldiers don''t care about anything, just rest. Tomorrow night, I''ll take my men to change the guard. You take the soldiers to rest. In this way, at least our soldiers can have a good rest. "


    After hearing this, Huang Quan said, "it''s really a good way to do this. At present, we can only do this. But there is another drawback. If we really can''t stop it, we still need the support of your people. "


    Qu Zheng said: "this is actually simple. It''s still based on the sound of the horn. As long as the horn sounds, it means that your soldiers can''t stop, and then I will bring people to support


    "Good!"


    Huang Quan nodded and scolded: "these Jingzhou soldiers are hateful. It''s hard to tell whether they''re real or not. We''re all in trouble."


    "Yes


    Qu Zheng nodded, yawned and said, "no, I''m too sleepy. If you don''t go to bed, you will lose your spirit tomorrow. Magistrate Huang, I''ll give it to you tonight. I''ll take people down. "


    "Good!"


    Huang Quan nodded and watched Qu Zheng leave.


    After Qu Zheng left, Huang Quan arranged tasks for his generals and conveyed the latest orders.


    The soldiers in the army were ordered to go down to rest.


    Outside the city, the captain looked at the retreating soldiers on the upper floor of the city. His eyes were shining and he said, "it seems that we have lost our function to harass them. The other side has gone through several times, and is really on guard. But now, it''s time for the catapult to show off. Somebody, push up the loaded catapult. "


    At the command, the soldiers took action immediately.


    One by one of the soldiers under his command immediately took action, and saw a catapult, all of which were transported forward.


    This time, we brought five catapults.


    The distance from the city is about 100 Zhang after the five catapults are laid out. This distance is not a long distance for Liu Xiu''s catapult.


    The captain came to the side of the catapult and ordered, "prepare!"


    All the five catapults were loaded with large stones weighing more than 100 Jin. Only the captain ordered, "let go!"


    "Boom! Boom


    Five catapults were running at the same time. Five big stones weighing more than 100 Jin roared through the air and went straight to the city tower. In a twinkling of an eye, five big stones had fallen one after another.


    "Boom!"


    The first big stone fell on the female wall.


    Click!


    The wall soil collapsed, leaving a big groove directly.


    "Boom! Boom


    The other four big stones all fell in the same place. Continuous impact, so that the city floor are shaking, and the impact of the location, is the soil and sand constantly falling, was hit rotten a large piece.


    The garrisons on the city tower all glared, and their eyes showed an incredible look, because no one expected that Jingzhou soldiers outside the city began to attack with catapults.

 Chapter 532

    Boom!


    The deafening sound reverberated on the tower. Huang Quan had been awakened. He came out of the city and looked at the falling stones. His eyes were dignified and he kept directing the soldiers to retreat.


    At this time, Huang Quan''s heart speculated about the other party''s purpose.


    Could it be that we should first use stones and then attack the city.


    Quren county is just a county magistrate, not a strategic place like Yufu County, so the city is not particularly tall.


    Bombing a place with a catapult staring at it will have a great impact on the city.


    WOW!


    Sand and stones are constantly falling, leading to gaps in the city buildings.


    At this time, because of the continuous bombing of the catapult, all the soldiers resting in the camp in the city couldn''t sleep, only heard the sound of rumbling.


    After a quarter of an hour, the bombing was finally over.


    There was already a gap on the city tower, which was one foot wide and half a person high. It was smashed out by the catapult.


    "Dong! Dong


    The beating of drums resounded again.


    The soldiers outside the city, however, launched an attack again and killed them on the tower.


    As Huang Quan watched the Jingzhou soldiers approaching outside the city, he did not feel sleepy and ordered the soldiers to be ready. In a short time, the soldiers outside the city were close to the tower and began to attack the city.


    However, the siege time is not long, less than a quarter of an hour after the fight, the Jingzhou soldiers had already left.


    On the tower, the face of the yellow spring is serious.


    Standing beside Huang Quan, the county magistrate said, "magistrate, there is always an army outside the city. It is estimated that there should not be too many people outside the city. My humble consideration is whether we should send an army out of the city to completely defeat each other. "


    Huang Quan said, "the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. How do you know the soldiers outside the city are just a little harassed. If all this is Liu Xiu''s calculation, we''ll be waiting for us to get out of the city? "


    After hearing this, the county magistrate was stunned and couldn''t bring up the courage to leave the city.


    Huang Quan said: "they are just harassing. Since the Jingzhou soldiers have retreated for the time being, they don''t have to worry about it. Now, just focus on guarding the city. "


    "No!"


    The county magistrate was ordered to patrol the city.


    That night, the army outside the city attacked the city from time to time, or attacked with a catapult from time to time, which made huangquan and its soldiers miserable.


    The soldiers you garrison are few. The Jingzhou soldiers who attack the city tower will not retreat at all.


    If you add more soldiers, Jingzhou soldiers will run away.


    You have a rest. The catapults and drums are here again.


    In short, Huang Quan and his soldiers did not have a good rest. They stayed up all night. In the morning, they were all exhausted.


    At dawn, the faces of the soldiers finally relaxed.


    They have clearly seen each other withdraw.


    Standing beside the yellow spring, the county magistrate yawned and rubbed his tired cheek. He said, "magistrate, when will Qu Zheng change his guard?"


    "Huang Quan said:" there is still a moment, wait for it, soon give them to guard


    "Yes


    The county magistrate looked forward to it, his face full of fatigue.


    "Dong! Dong! "


    All of a sudden, the battle drums resounded outside the city.


    After this high pitched and powerful war drum sound came, in a flash, the soldiers on the city tower seemed to be conditioned reflex, and immediately made a response, ready to fight.


    One by one, their eyes fell on the distant official road.


    A black line, constantly squirming.


    This line is getting closer and closer to the county.


    After a short time, we can clearly see the situation outside the city. See the Jingzhou Army soldiers appear, quickly approaching the city building of Quren county.


    Here comes Liu Xiu!


    The garrison officers and soldiers saw the black army, as if they felt the pressure like a mountain and a sea.


    It''s not long. Liu Xiu and Chen Bing are out.


    At this time, Qu Zheng had already taken the private soldiers of the major families to the city tower and quickly changed the guard. Qu Zheng looked at the bloody yellow spring and said, "magistrate Huang, give it to me now. Go down and have a rest."


    Huang Quan waved his hand and said, "it''s OK. I''m fine."


    Now that Liu xiusha is here, Huang Quan doesn''t want to sleep at all. Even if he is tired, he doesn''t want to sleep. Now he can''t sleep at all.


    Huang Quan stared at the outside of the city, looking nervous.


    Liu Xiu took charge of the central army, and the war was under the command of Wen pin and Xu Shu.


    Wen pin and Xu Shu rode in front of him. He saw Wen pin''s big sleeve flick and ordered, "Archer, prepare!"


    With a single order, 2000 archers came out. All the archers approached the tower and stopped within a hundred paces. After the soldiers were arrayed, all the bows and arrows were bowed."Let it go


    With a command, countless archers let go of their hands.


    "Hum!"


    The bow and the arrow are out of danger.


    "Whew! Whew! Whew


    The dense bows and arrows formed a sword rain, which quickly passed in the air.


    Look into the sky, as if to see a burst of black raindrops falling quickly. In the blink of an eye, the bows and arrows had already fallen, and they fell on the city floor one after another. Such intensive and undifferentiated attacks caused great lethality and quickly killed many private soldiers of various families guarding the city tower.


    A round of arrow rain, heavy losses.


    Countless people fell to the ground and howled when they were hit by arrows.


    "Whew! Whew! Whew


    The second round of arrow rain, has been swept across the sky, quickly left an arc in the air, to the city upstairs.


    Huang Quan was frightened by the real siege again. He roared: "prepare the shield, prepare the shield quickly." In the face of the attack of arrow rain, it is useless to rely on the soldiers to play with the weapons in their hands. In this case, the best effect is to use the shield to resist the attack of bow and arrow.


    One after another, some soldiers took shields to resist, but Rao also suffered heavy losses in the arrow rain.


    Ten rounds of arrow rain caused heavy losses to the garrison on the upper floor of the city.


    It''s just that up to now, the soldiers on the upper floor of the city have used shields to attack with bows and arrows, so the damage caused by bows and arrows has been greatly weakened, so wenpin ordered the soldiers to stop.


    "Catapult, get ready!"


    Wenpin once again gave the order.


    As soon as I gave an order, I saw a lot of catapults being pushed out and standing a hundred feet away from the city. Jingzhou soldiers, who are responsible for throwing stones, quickly adjust the direction and choose the position.


    There are more than 100 of these catapults.


    The power of every catapult is unparalleled.


    Half an hour later, all the catapults were in place and ready.


    Wen pin ordered: "catapult, let go!"


    In an instant, the catapults were thrown out one after another, and the stones swept across the sky, and the momentum was even more appalling. The mighty stone in the air, noisy city tower up and down, as if a meteorite from the sky in general, with speechless momentum, so that countless families of private soldiers scurrying around, constantly avoid the damage caused by the falling stone.


    Stones are different from bows and arrows. Bows and arrows are light and can be blocked by shields.


    However, at the moment when the stone fell, the soldiers couldn''t stop it and could only keep avoiding it.


    "Boom! Boom! "


    Big stones fell, and the whole tower was covered with smoke and dust.


    This moment, as if the whole tower is shaking in general, incomparable soul stirring, it is even more frightening.


    "Here comes the catapult again!"


    Suddenly, the second wheel of the catapult began to launch.


    Compared with the chaos brought by the first round, the second round dropped the catapult, which immediately scattered all the defences on the city floor. One by one, the soldiers who were guarding the city only knew how to avoid the attack of stones, for fear that they would be hit.


    Two rounds of catapult attack, the castle has been pitted, countless soldiers were killed and wounded, many people fell to the ground wailing.


    Xu Shu stood beside Wen pin and said, "general Wen, our stone storage capacity is only for three rounds of attacks. Now we have two rounds. We can almost stop and attack the city. "


    Wen pin nodded and said, "the military adviser has a point. It''s time to attack the city."


    "Attack the city!"


    Wenpin ordered the flag to shake, and his army began to rush to the tower.


    The real fight in the city has just begun.

 Chapter 533

    When Huang Quan saw the black soldiers coming, he could not help shivering.


    Here we go!


    The real fight is coming.


    Can you block it?


    In Huang Quan''s heart, such doubts arise.


    At this moment, huangquan really experienced the threat of Jingzhou army, because the opponent''s momentum was too fierce. First of all, they shot round by round with bows and arrows to weaken the morale of the soldiers guarding the city. And then the attack with the catapult made the defensive formation of the whole city chaotic, completely scattered, which had the appearance of resistance.


    Let alone the current situation.


    Countless Jingzhou soldiers came to kill, and the murderous spirit was terrible.


    Huang Quan said: "Qu Zheng, quickly organize the army to resist."


    Qu Zheng suddenly came back to his senses. He immediately ordered: "Liu Xiu''s army is coming. Everyone will resist with me." He gave the order, but the morale of his soldiers was still not good.


    See this scene, Qu Zheng''s expression unprecedented dignified.


    It''s not good!


    At present, the morale has been broken up, and the soldiers have a fear in their hearts.


    Qu Zheng looked at the soldiers on the upper floor of the city. He sighed in his heart and thought: Fortunately, 15000 soldiers didn''t come up with them, only 3000 soldiers went up to the upper floor of the city. Otherwise, all the soldiers would lose their fighting spirit and there would be no need to fight this battle.


    After the siege began, Liu Xiu''s soldiers kept climbing like tigers.


    Soon, soldiers rushed up to the tower.


    The fighting on the tower has begun.


    After a short period of time, the first group of soldiers under Qu Zheng''s command were completely decadent and retreated steadily, which could not be stopped at all. Qu Zheng was also well prepared, and immediately sent 3000 soldiers up again, and then quickly resisted.


    A steady stream of Jingzhou army attacked the city, and the garrison in the city was also constantly resisting.


    The fighting between the two sides continues.


    Liu Xiu, the Chinese Army outside the city, saw the scene on the battlefield, looked at Pang Tong and said, "Shiyuan, it seems that we still have a high opinion of the magistrate of Quren county. According to the situation above the city, I think three days of strong attack will be enough to break the city."


    Pang Tong said with a smile: "after all, it''s a county town with limited forces and combat effectiveness."


    Jia Xu said: "with the plan, there will be a big fire in the city tomorrow. After the granary is burned, the soldiers stationed in Quren county will be demoralized, so they can conquer it at one stroke. If you can save two days, you can save hundreds of soldiers


    Liu Xiu said, "Mr. Wenhe has a point!"


    Since ancient times, siege wars have been built with human lives, which is a characteristic of the cold weapon era.


    It''s impossible to fight without death.


    Liu Xiuyan saw that the siege continued from morning to noon, and then from noon to afternoon. The battle was extremely fierce, and countless people were killed and injured.


    A corpse piled up on the tower, and the place where the tower collapsed was bleeding.


    The war is extremely fierce.


    And the garrison on the city floor is under great pressure, losing countless people.


    In the evening, it was getting dark, and finally the sound of calling the Golden Army to the end came from outside the city. Seeing Jingzhou retreated, the soldiers who were guarding the city were all relieved. They sat down one by one and gasped.


    Qu Zheng''s body is also full of blood.


    After a day''s fighting, Qu Zheng was almost exhausted. He sat on the ground and didn''t want to move.


    At this time, the head of a family came and said: "Qu Zheng, today''s fighting is resisted by our brothers. If we go on like this, our families will have to die. Such a thing can''t be done any more. "


    Another family member came up and said, "yes, why don''t the soldiers guarding the city go to war?"


    "I agree. Today, Quren county would be broken if it wasn''t for the private soldiers of our family."


    "We can''t let the officers and soldiers who are guarding the city relax. Let them come out to fight tomorrow."


    "Why should we fight together. We can''t be so stupid. You are our leader. Talk to Huang Quan. "


    When a person gets together, you talk to me and keep talking.


    Qu Zheng said, "don''t worry, I''ll talk about it."


    Huang Quan also heard the conversation. He came with a knife and said: "don''t worry, my officers and soldiers will not escape. They will all fight tomorrow."


    In a word, it calmed down the anger of the people in the major families.


    The battlefields began to be cleaned up on the city tower, and a corpse was thrown down directly. However, the wounded Jingzhou soldiers who stayed on the city tower could only die by the other side''s knife.


    At night, the city tower was changed again.


    Today''s soldiers are private soldiers of various families. The reason why the officers and soldiers are not responsible for the defense at night is very simple, that is to let the officers and soldiers have a good rest at night, to raise their spirit, and to fight with the Jingzhou soldiers tomorrow.After entering the night, it was quiet at the beginning, and there was no attack.


    However, it was almost early in the morning when the soldiers were sleeping soundly.


    "Dong! Dong


    All of a sudden, the battle drums began to ring from outside the city.


    The rapid sound of war drums, like the voice of the sky, suddenly awakened all the soldiers in the city who were still sleeping. Although these soldiers didn''t have to go to the city building, they were interrupted to have a rest, and they didn''t feel sleepy.


    The private soldiers of the major families defending on the city tower also looked dignified.


    They all know what happened last night.


    The attack at night, there are catapults!


    Once the catapult throws stones, it may hit them.


    So, the soldiers in the garrison are quite nervous.


    There were more than four attacks in a thousand nights, and the attack time was still four.


    As a result, neither the defenders on the upper floors of the city nor the soldiers in the city had a good rest.


    At dawn the next day, the harassed soldiers had retreated.


    On the third pole of the same day, the battle drums had already sounded outside the city.


    The sound of war drums mixed with the sound of trumpets made the whole battlefield fierce again. The officers and soldiers stationed on the city tower and the private soldiers of various aristocratic families all had nervous eyes. They saw Jingzhou soldiers appear and knew that the war had begun again.


    Liu Xiu was approaching with a large army. This time, Liu Xiugen did not stay in the middle army, but just stayed in the front of the army like Wen pin.


    However, Liu Xiu did not interfere with Wen pin''s command.


    As yesterday, wenpin also used bows and arrows to kill the officers and soldiers on the upper floor of the city.


    Although there were shields on the top of the city, twenty catapults were used this time. The function of these 20 catapults is to disrupt the shield. The mixed use of catapult and bow and arrow made the defense of officers and soldiers on the city floor a mess.


    There are still many dead and wounded.


    The well prepared defense was also completely disrupted.


    Two quarters of an hour later, Wen pin ordered the soldiers to attack.


    The black Jingzhou soldiers once again launched a charge, toward the tower. At the beginning of the fight, the whole quren County fell into a sea of people''s shouting fight, and in the fight, time is also slipping away bit by bit.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were fixed on the changes of the situation on the battlefield. He watched the soldiers under his command rush up and then be driven down, and then rush up and then be driven down. He was looking forward to it again and again.


    Because at noon, it''s time for Huo Jun and Zhao Yun to act.


    Time is approaching noon, Liu Xiu Gujing bubo heart, also has a trace of waves. It depends on the cooperation of Huo Jun and Zhao Yun to win quren County ahead of time and reduce the casualties of soldiers.


    Wenpin also knows the plan, but at noon, wenpin also acts according to his own plan.


    Towards noon, some soldiers began to have lunch first.


    These are the soldiers who attacked the city continuously at noon. When these soldiers were ready, wenpin transferred back the soldiers who had attacked the city before, and then sent the soldiers who had had lunch to continue to attack the city.


    The sun above is getting closer to noon.


    Time is getting closer and closer.


    However, the garrison on the tower of the city was still unaware of it. They were still struggling to resist. They chased the Jingzhou soldiers who rushed to the tower of the city to keep the situation from getting worse.

 Chapter 534

    Inside the city, granary!


    There are not many soldiers stationed in this place, only more than 30 soldiers to maintain order. As long as the city is not broken, the granary is safe. Huo Jun is in charge of food security. He often patrols inside.


    This day is approaching noon.


    Huo Jun and Chen Dao came to the granary and inspected it as usual. But the soldiers stayed outside and did not follow in. Chen Dao followed Huo Jun and said, "brother Zhongmiao, can''t you save so much food?"


    For burning grain, Chen Dao is still a little impatient.


    If food can be left, Jingzhou soldiers can at least support it for a period of time.


    It''s a pity to burn a fire.


    Huo Jun shook his head and said: "there is no way to do this. If we want to move these grains and make empty plans, it will definitely have a huge impact, but it will affect the whole plan."


    Chen Dao sighed and said, "that''s all


    Huo Jun said: "uncle to brother, this grain is just a drizzle for Jingzhou. The current capacity of Jingzhou is enough to provide food for the soldiers, so there is no need to have any regrets. If these grains are not burned, they will be piled up with the lives of countless soldiers. It''s worth the lives of thousands of soldiers in exchange for these grains. "


    Chen Dao nodded and said, "I understand the truth, but I feel pity."


    At the beginning, Liu Bei had to hand over Zhao Yun to Liu Xiu because of a little grain. Now, with so much food, Chen Dao always has a little bit of a knot in his heart when he wants to burn it.


    Huo Jun said, "it''s almost time to prepare."


    Two people went to the inside of the granary, and then Chen took out the flint, soon lit the fire.


    "Hoo! Hoo


    The fire ignited and burned rapidly.


    In particular, the granary is extremely dry. With Mars, it burns quickly.


    In the granary, smoke billowed.


    "There''s a fire. Come and put it out."


    Huo Jun roars and runs out, while Chen Dao follows Huo Jun and rushes out together. Not long after, they had already rushed out of the granary and stood at the door. Looking at the more than 30 soldiers at the door, Huo Jun ordered: "quick, quick, prepare water to put out the fire. There is a fire in the granary."


    More than 30 soldiers were shocked.


    The granary is on fire!


    How can it be? There is no Mars in it.


    But looking up, you can see the burning fire and the smoke. This scene, so that a soldier quickly to draw water, and then drilled into the granary.


    However, there was no time to rescue more than 30 soldiers.


    The fire spread quickly.


    The soldiers stationed in the granary retreated again and again, but finally they had to withdraw from the granary and could not get in at all.


    Huo Jun was also anxious. He caught two soldiers and said, "no, we can''t save the fire just by our strength. Now, you will go to the city tower and inform the county magistrate to put out the fire. "


    "Yes


    The two soldiers were ordered to turn around and leave.


    After seeing the soldiers disappear in sight, Huo Jun looks at the billowing smoke, looks at the soldiers around him and says in a loud voice: "go to carry water and put out the fire as soon as possible. I''ll go to the big families nearby and ask them to send for help. "


    After giving orders, Huo Jun turned around and left.


    Chen Dao followed Huo Jun and quickly disappeared in the public''s sight.


    ¡­¡­


    Outside the city, the siege continues.


    Suddenly, Liu Xiu saw the burning smoke in the city.


    The smoke gradually more and more dense, actually in the sky for a long time. Liu Xiu was overjoyed. He looked at Wen pin and ordered: "Wen pin, the granary in the city has been on fire. Now he will withdraw temporarily."


    "No!"


    After Wen pin got the order, he immediately called for a withdrawal.


    The soldiers of Jingzhou, who were attacking the city, got the order and went back like the tide.


    The soldiers of Jingzhou retreated, and all the soldiers stationed on the tower were relieved.


    However, suddenly someone found the burning smoke in the city. Huang Quan and Qu Zheng saw it. Qu Zheng frowned and said, "why is there a fire suddenly in the city? It''s still so big."


    "It''s normal to have a fire somewhere," Huang said


    After a turn, he said: "at noon, the other party finally retreated. Now, we can finally take a breath, take a rest, and then resist the attack of Jingzhou soldiers. "


    Qu Zheng said, "today is the second day. I don''t know when the reinforcements will arrive."


    Huang Quan said: "I''m already on my way here. It''s probably only one or two days. We''ll hold on until the reinforcements come. It''s impossible for Liu Xiu to break Quren county. "


    Qu Zheng nodded, his eyes still outside the city.At this time, the retreated Jingzhou army had been arrayed and cleaned up.


    Looking at the army''s granary on fire, he ordered to clean up again


    "The granary in the city is on fire!"


    "The granary in the city is on fire!"


    All the soldiers of Jingzhou army were shouting.


    Neat voice, resounding inside and outside the city.


    When Huang Quan heard the news, he was stunned, and his face showed an incredible look. How could the granary in the city catch fire? Looking at the soldiers around him, he was surprised to see their faces. He said in a loud voice, "the Jingzhou army is deceitful. They deliberately do this in order to shake our morale."


    The soldiers on the tower listened, and their faces were still dignified.


    One by one, he looked at the location of the fire in the city.


    Isn''t the place where the smoke is, exactly where the granary is?


    Qu Zheng came to huangquan and said, "magistrate Huang, as soon as Jingzhou soldiers outside the city saw the smoke rising in the city, they withdrew. Then they began to shout that the granary in the city was on fire. This is a strange thing! Is it because Liu Xiu arranged that the granary in the city caught fire? "


    Huang Quan''s face suddenly turned white!


    A trace of bad premonition, in the heart of the yellow spring breeding out.


    Is the granary really on fire?


    No, it''s impossible.


    Huang Quan didn''t believe in this possibility at all. He brushed his sleeves and said, "Qu Zheng, the granary has money to guard. If he wants to defeat Liu Xiu and become famous, he will do his best. There is no problem with the granary."


    Qu Zheng sighed: "I hope it''s as you said!"


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, an urgent voice came from afar.


    It was the soldiers who came to report. Before they got to the city floor, they cried out, "the granary is on fire. No, the granary is on fire." Two soldiers came running, shouting as they ran.


    Boom!


    When countless soldiers heard this, their minds were blank and they were all confused.


    The granary is really on fire!


    How can they resist without food?


    Huang Quan heard the news, legs a soft, almost fell to the ground. He stretched out his hand on the wall, his face full of incredible expression, murmured: "impossible, how can it be?"


    Qu Zheng Gudong swallowed his saliva and said, "magistrate Huang, what should we do now?"


    At this moment, Qu Zheng''s heart has begun to retreat.


    The grain has been burned, the impact is too big.


    As a matter of fact, if Liu Xiu''s army is not outside and the food is gone, the major families can sit together to discuss and gather food again. But now Liu Xiu''s eyes are on the outside. When the soldiers in the army hear this, their morale will collapse instantly.


    Huang Quan''s heart is also very intersection, he quickly shuttled among the soldiers, told the soldiers that there are other food in the city, so that the soldiers don''t have to take care of the burning granary.


    However, this effect is not great.


    The morale of the army is still very low.


    A quarter of an hour later, outside the city suddenly thought of the rumble of war drums.


    "Kill


    "Enter Quren county."


    "Kill


    Countless soldiers roared and began to attack again. This time, the soldiers of Jingzhou rushed down the mountain with a fierce tiger. When they rushed, the officers and soldiers on the tower didn''t want to fight at all.


    The grain was burned and the morale of the army was unstable.


    But the Jingzhou army is different, and its momentum is like a rainbow.


    Comparing the two sides, the garrison of quren County fell into a disadvantage in an instant.


    The two sides soon fought again. Soon after the beginning of the fight, the soldiers who were guarding the city no longer resisted and ran away. After this situation appeared, many soldiers followed suit.


    "I surrender!"


    "I will surrender, don''t kill me!"


    Not long after, there were soldiers kneeling down to surrender.


    At the moment, quren County no longer has any resistance, it has been defeated like a mountain.

 Chapter 535

    From the attack on the tower, to the complete occupation of quren County tower, and then to the end of the war, but also more than half an hour.


    The war has completely subsided.


    Liu Xiu led his troops into the city, quickly controlled the four square city gate, and then took charge of the county government.


    In the hall, Liu Xiu took a seat.


    It wasn''t long before Huo Jun and Chen arrived at the county government.


    They saluted Liu Xiu and sat down.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "this war depends on the sincere cooperation between you two, so that the plan can be successfully completed."


    Huo Jun said, "my Lord, I''m wrong."


    Chen Dao''s expression was calm, and said: "this time can be successfully completed, it''s all contributed by Zhong Miao. I follow Zhong Miao''s side, that is to protect him


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "do you think Quren county is suitable for the re arrangement of candidates?"


    Both shook their heads, indicating that they had not found a suitable one for the time being.


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, Deng Zhan came in and said, "Lord, general Wen and commander Xu are asking to see you."


    "Please


    As soon as Liu Xiu''s sleeves were brushed, Deng Zhan went to send orders. In a short time, Wen pin and Xu Shu came.


    Wenpin saluted and said, "Lord, the war in Quren county has subsided. Huang Quan, the magistrate of quren County, and Qu Zheng, who organized the resistance of private soldiers from his family, have been arrested. "


    "Bring it up!"


    Liu Xiu nodded and gave an order.


    Huang Quan and Qu Zheng are brought up. When they see Huo Jun, they are stunned.


    Qian Tong!


    Why is Qiantong here?


    Suddenly, Huang Quan understood that Qian Tong was Liu Xiu''s man.


    In this way, the granary fire must be done by Qian Tong.


    Huang Quan stares at Huo Jun and says coldly, "Qian Tong, I didn''t expect that you are Liu Xiu''s man. It''s a brilliant method. It''s powerful. It''s really powerful. "


    Huo Jun said with a smile: "Huang Xian Ling misunderstood, it is to know, in the next Huo Jun."


    Huo Jun!


    Huang Quan eyebrows doubt, did not hear the name.


    However, Huang Quan''s eyes towards Huo Jun were even more angry.


    It''s all caused by Huo Jun.


    Without Huo Jun, none of this would have happened and Quren county would not have fallen.


    Huang Quan looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Jingzhou, it''s OK to surrender, but I have one condition. As long as Liu Jingzhou agrees to surrender unconditionally, it will further stabilize the situation in Liu Jingzhou. "


    Liu Xiu said, "Oh, Huang Xian Ling, please say it."


    Huang Quan looked at Huo Jun again and said, "kill Huo Jun!"


    In a word, it is cold and fierce.


    The smile on Liu Xiu''s face faded away, and his expression became cold. He said, "when Huang Xian Ling went out this morning, was his head clamped by the door or kicked by a donkey?"


    Strong words directly refute Huang Quan''s request.


    Huo Jun is a talent cultivated by Liu Xiu. Under Liu Xiu''s command, Huo Jun is at least a counselor of the second echelon. Moreover, Huo Jun has martial arts skills, knows how to March and fight, and has great potential. Such talents, even if they are ten hundred, can not be compared.


    "If you don''t kill Huo Jun, I will never surrender. Hum, I have been an official in quren County for many years, and I still have some prestige. Now Liu Jingzhou has broken Quren county. He wants to win the hearts of the people, but without the help of his own official, you are a fool. "


    Liu Xiu tut tut two voice way: "is really self righteous."


    "Somebody


    Liu Xiu gave the order directly.


    When a soldier came in, Liu Xiu said, "drag down the spring and cut it down."


    "Yes


    The soldiers were ordered to go out on the yellow spring.


    Qu Zheng stood aside, but he was in a cold sweat. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu was so strong. For a time, he had been thinking about how to deal with it.


    Huang Quan was carried out with a big crack in his mouth and said, "Liu Xiu, you can''t die well. Mr. Zhou Mu has sent a big army to kill you. Once the big army comes, you will be defeated. "


    "Wait a minute!"


    All of a sudden, Jia Xu, who has never spoken, opens his mouth.


    The soldier stopped when he heard the words.


    At this time, huangquan has been carried to the door. Later, huangquan will be taken out.


    Liu Xiu looked at Jia Xu and asked, "what''s the matter with the military adviser?"


    Jia Xu said: "Lord, huangquan is at least a county magistrate. It''s important for him to stay here. So, I suggest that we take him into custody for the time being to save his life. "


    "All right!"


    Liu Xiu waved his hand. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers escorted Huang Quan down.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Qu Zheng and said, "Qu Zheng, what are you going to do?"


    "I''m willing to surrender, I''m willing to surrender."


    Qu Zheng knelt down with a plop and surrendered without hesitation.In Qu Zheng''s eyes, the overall situation of Quren county is not as important as his life; whether Quren county belongs to Liu Xiu or Liu Zhang is not as important as his life.


    The most important thing is to save your life.


    As long as we can survive, everything can be planned.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said with a smile, "good. I''m very glad that you have this awareness. But this time you resisted the Jingzhou army, your families in Quren county made a great contribution. A capital crime is avoidable, but a living crime is inevitable. As a liaison, go and invite all the people of the great families to the county government. I will discuss with them in person. "


    Qu Zheng turned his eyes and said, "Liu Jingzhou, is this a crime to be punished?"


    Liu Xiu said, "is that what you should ask?"


    "Yes, yes, villains shouldn''t ask." Qu Zheng thought that he would save his life first, and then consider other things. He nodded and said, "villains are willing to contact and invite everyone to the county government."


    Liu Xiu said, "when will it be finished?"


    Qu Zheng thought about it and said, "the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest."


    But Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "this evening, I''ll hold a banquet in the county government. If the aristocratic families in quren County don''t come, or there aren''t enough people coming, I''ll take your head off at that time. "


    Qu Zhenggang wanted to argue, but when he saw Liu Xiu''s expression, he swallowed his words and said, "please rest assured that Zhou Mu will complete the task."


    "Good, go back."


    Liu Xiu big sleeve a brush, directly released Qu Zheng.


    "Goodbye!"


    Qu Zheng bowed his hand and left.


    When Qu Zheng retreated, Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Jia Xu and said, "Mr. Wen he left the life of huangquan. How do you plan to use huangquan?"


    Jia Xu said with a smile: "Chengdu has sent Wu Yi to lead the troops to fight. This time, we will use the spring to pit Wu Yi. "


    Liu Xiu asked, "how to do it?"


    Jia Xu smiles a little and says: "just do it..."


    Immediately, Jia Xu gave his plan.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu made a careful deduction. Then he looked at Pang Tong, Wen pin, Xu Shu and others and asked, "what do you think?"


    Xu Shu said: "the focus now is whether Wu Yi will believe in the yellow spring. If Wu Yi believed in Huang Quan, the plan of Jia Junshi would be successful. But if Wu Yi doesn''t believe it, the plan won''t succeed. "


    Pang Tong also nodded slightly and said, "master Xu has a point."


    Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and said with a smile, "if you want to make a fake, of course you want to make it come true. My Lord can send someone to surrender to huangquan. I''m afraid that he won''t surrender. Then the Lord took control of Huang Quan''s family, told Huang Quan that he had killed his family, and spread the news of killing Huang Quan''s family. "


    "In this way, Huang Quan and the LORD have a grudge against each other


    "If you are loyal to the prime minister, you will be honest."


    Jia Xu said with a smile: "huangquan is in prison. He knows that his family has been killed and is even more angry with his master. So he will try every means to get revenge, and we will give him the chance to get revenge. As long as huangquan escaped from the county government and the city. Everything seems to take its course. Even though Wu Yi doubts it, he can be sure that Huang Quan is sincere when he sends someone to inquire. "


    After hearing this, people''s faces showed approval.


    With the follow-up arrangements, huangquan will certainly perform well.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "yes, I think the plan of Mr. Jia is good. That''s it. This time, we will win the 30000 Yizhou troops brought by Wu Yi. "


    When people heard the words, they were all full of fighting spirit.


    Once Wu Yi was defeated, it would be easy to go to Chengdu.

 Chapter 536

    Qu Zheng went back to Qu''s home and saw Qu Lin in the hall.


    Plop!


    Qu Zheng knelt down and said, "master!"


    Qu Lin waved his hand and said, "get up. I already know about the destruction of the city. There''s no way. It''s God''s will! If there is no problem with the granary in the city, there may be a chance. But who could have predicted that the granary was suddenly on fire? "


    Qu Zheng stood up and said, "the granary fire is not an accident, but a thought. That Qian Tong is not a businessman, but a man under Liu Xiu''s command. His real name is Huo Jun


    Qu Lin''s old face suddenly changed and his eyes were surprised.


    Qian Tong is Huo Jun!


    This news makes Qu Lin incredible.


    Cheated!


    Not only huangquan, but also the major families including the Qu family were cheated.


    Qu Zheng clenched his fist and said angrily: "master, the Qu family was cheated by Huo Jun, which is absolutely unforgivable. Huo Jun must die. "


    The thought that he was fighting in the city floor was all Huo Jun''s plot made Qu Zheng feel angry.


    In particular, the Qu family''s food was burned by Huo Jun, and Qu Zheng''s heart was hard to calm down for a while.


    Qu Lin''s eyes narrowed and said, "Huo Jun cheated my family in Quren county. It''s time to kill him. But he is Liu Xiu''s man. Once Huo Jun is assassinated, I''m afraid Liu Xiu will not give up. "


    Qu Zheng said: "master of the family, we can send the dead, and we can''t find any reason to assassinate Huo Jun, and Liu Xiu can''t judge that we did it well. The most important thing is that Liu Xiu will summon the Qu family and the major aristocratic families this evening. At that time, all our major aristocratic families will be obedient to Liu Xiu on the surface. Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu will not doubt us for assassinating Huo Jun, or even think that he is the person of the yellow spring. "


    Qu Lin''s deep eyes twinkled, thinking about the feasibility of this plan.


    Qu family cheated!


    He was cheated!


    It''s a shame.


    Qu Lin was silent for a long time, and finally nodded his head and said: "the assassination of Huo Jun can be done. However, this matter should not be known to other major families. "


    "Yes


    Qu Zheng smelled the speech and showed a smile on his face.


    Revenge!


    In Qu Zheng''s heart, he only wants to revenge and let Huo Jun get punished.


    Qu Lin arranges people to go to the aristocratic families to inform each other. Then in the evening, Qu Lin goes to the county government with the aristocratic families. This night, outside the gate of the county government, a carriage stopped, and the owners of the major families in Quren county came.


    Everyone was talking and asking Qu Lin for his opinions.


    However, Qu Lin didn''t say anything and went to the hall of the county government.


    When they came to the hall, they sat down.


    At this time, there are people sitting directly above the hall, and even the left and right positions in front of the hall are still empty.


    "Here comes Liu Jingzhou!"


    Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside the hall.


    A moment later, a dignified young man came in. This young man is Liu Xiu. After Liu Xiu, he was followed by Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Huo Jun, Wen pin, Xu Shu and other military officials.


    Everyone stood still, and the people of all the great families stood up one after another.


    After sitting down, Liu Xiu put a smile on his face and said, "before I first met you, I heard that you took out your family''s private soldiers and family''s food to resist me."


    As soon as these words came out, the hall seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.


    A trace of coolness permeated people''s hearts.


    Liu Xiu continued: "from their respective positions, it''s natural for you to help Huang Quan resist. On the contrary, I appreciate you very much. It''s just that those who know current affairs are heroes. Now I have won Quren county. I don''t know. How do you think about it? "


    Qu Lin didn''t even think about it. He said, "the Qu family is willing to be loyal to Liu Jingzhou."


    "The Shen family is willing to be loyal to Liu Jingzhou!"


    "Fang family is willing to be loyal to Liu Jingzhou!"


    "The Qiu family is willing to be loyal to Liu Jingzhou!"


    Everyone in charge of the family spoke one after another. Liu Xiu had already thrown out the olive branch. They didn''t come next at this time. Isn''t that shameful?


    Hitting Liu Xiu in the face is tantamount to giving yourself no pleasure.


    So, one after another, they all expressed their views.


    Besides, even the dutiful Qu family is willing to condescend, not to mention their families?


    Liu Xiu looked at all the family members, his face was very satisfied, and said: "I am very glad that you are so cheerful. But my official came from Jingzhou. It was very difficult to travel all the way. Moreover, because the roads are not easy to walk, the transportation of food is not convenient. There is a lack of food in the army. Well, it''s a headache. "


    WOW!


    In the hall, the discussion began immediately.


    The expressions on the faces of the heads of the major families are extremely wonderful, or the expressions on their faces are worried, angry, or unwillingIn a word, all kinds of emotions are different.


    Everyone did not expect that Liu Xiu''s face was so thick, and he even spoke directly.


    How cruel!


    There was a howl in the hearts of all the people.


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu continued: "before I came here, I heard what Huo Jun said. In order to resist me, all the families sent out troops and grain one after another. They were very active. At that time, you belonged to Liu Zhang. I appreciate your dedication to Liu Zhang. "


    "Now, I am in charge of Quren county."


    "Since you are willing to be loyal to me, you are naturally my officials."


    "I believe that your selfless dedication will not be lost. If it''s really lost, I''m afraid it''s also the result of my official''s failure. "


    Liu Xiu glanced at the crowd and said, "what do you think?"


    This is not light or heavy, but it hit on the heart of the principal of the major families.


    The expressions on each face were quite serious.


    Qu Lin secretly scolds Liu Xiu for being shameless, but now he kicks out in front of Liu Xiu, especially Liu Xiu. Qu Lin knows that he can''t avoid this knife, and says: "Liu Jingzhou, the Qu family spent a lot of food when they resisted before, and now there is not much left. Therefore, the Qu family can only provide 1000 stone grain. "


    Liu Xiu said, "is this the way to send the beggars


    The tone of indifference is full of discontent.


    Qu Lin clenched his fist, and the veins on his thin arm burst. He continued to breathe, snorting, and his face became black.


    Bandit!


    At this moment, Qu Lin thought of this word in his heart.


    Qu Lin took a deep breath and said, "Liu Jingzhou, the Qu family is willing to take out 3000 stone grain."


    "Well, it''s worthy of being the largest family in quren County, with courage." Liu Xiu couldn''t help but clap his hands and praise, and the look of appreciation on his face was very obvious. His eyes, however, swept to the other major families.


    The expressions on the faces of these aristocratic families are quite interesting.


    In their hearts, they secretly scolded Liu Xiu for being greedy.


    However, in the face of Liu Xiu, he had no choice but to offer food.


    "Liu Jingzhou, the Qian family gives 1000 stone grain."


    "My Lord, the Shen family gave 1500 stone grain."


    "Liu Jingzhou, the Huang family gave 1200 stone grain."


    One after another, all the people of the aristocratic families began to offer food. After these people said that, the expression on their faces was bitter. All of a sudden out of so much food, for them, it can be said to be bone breaking. In particular, the private soldiers sent by the major families before were captured by Liu Xiu, and all became Liu Xiu''s people, which also caused heavy losses to the major families.


    It can be said that the aristocratic families in Quren county are about to be disabled by Liu Xiu.


    After Liu Xiu settled the tune, he no longer made trouble for the aristocratic family, and ordered the servants to serve wine and meat for a banquet. Liu Xiu and his officials pushed cups and cups, and the major families also toasted one after another. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the atmosphere was warm.


    At the end of the banquet, the major families retreated.


    One by one out of the county government, came to the county government outside, are whispering. On all faces, the expression is very unwilling, but helpless.


    These people look at Qu Lin and hope that Qu Lin will stand up. However, Qu Lin does not care about the actions of the major families at all, so he gets on the carriage and orders the driver to drive away.

 Chapter 537

    Qu Lin returned to Qu''s home and sat down in the hall.


    In anger, Qu Lin overturned several cups in a row, with boundless anger on his face.


    A hoarse roar came from the hall.


    The attendants standing outside the hall all looked solemn, and even a little uneasy in their pupils. They were scared.


    The housekeeper came in from the outside. The housekeeper followed Qu Lin''s old man and was familiar with Qu Lin''s temper. He stood on one side, silent, quietly waiting.


    After a full quarter of an hour, Qu Lin''s mood gradually subsided.


    Qu Lin said: "Liu Xiu asked the Qu family to take out three thousand stone grains, so much grain is really digging the Qu family''s heart. The rumor is true. Liu Xiu really wants to suppress the aristocratic family. This time he conquered quren County, and he wantonly suppressed the aristocratic family on the basis of our resistance. Liu Xiu, sooner or later, will have more moves. "


    The housekeeper said, "master, what should we do?"


    Qu Lin said, "call Qu Zheng."


    "Yes


    He took charge of the order and turned around to arrange it.


    After a while, Qu Zheng came to the hall, bowed and bowed, then sat down.


    Qu Lin looked at Qu Zheng and said, "Qu Zheng, Liu Xiu is greedy and has a natural hostility to his family. Today, he took three thousand stone grain from the Qu family. Tomorrow, it may be four thousand stone grain. Even later, there are more stringent requirements. We will not do anything to assassinate Huo Jun, we will assassinate Liu Xiu. "


    "Ah


    When Qu Zheng heard the speech, he could not help but be surprised.


    It''s very dangerous to assassinate Liu Xiu. Once he fails, the consequences are unbearable.


    Qu Zheng''s body is a little shivering, way: "home, home, home owner, really want to do this?"


    Qu Lin said, "the Qu family can''t wait to die."


    Qu Zheng took a deep breath and said, "well, do you need to unite with other families?"


    After thinking, Qu Lin shook his head and said, "the less people know about such things, the better. Once more people know about it, it may leak the information and eventually lead to the failure of the plan. And the assassination of Liu Xiu did not need the help of other families. One family of the Qu family is enough for this. "


    Qu Zheng said: "but we can count defeat before victory. Once the assassination fails, if there are other families, we can unite to fight against Liu Xiu. Without the help of other families, we are alone. "


    Qu Lin still shook his head and said, "if you assassinate Liu Xiu, you can only win, not lose. And the people who are sent to assassinate Liu Xiu are all dead men trained by the family, and they will not show their flaws. "


    "Good!"


    Qu Zheng nodded, then asked: "in that case, how to assassinate?"


    Qu Lin thought about it and said, "the best way to assassinate Liu Xiu is to send someone to sneak into the county government. But now the county government is under the control of Liu Xiu''s soldiers. It is almost impossible to assassinate Liu Xiu. So if we want to assassinate now, we have to wait for Liu Xiu to come out of the county government, and then we have a chance. "


    Qu Zheng said, "can you try it first and send someone to the county government?"


    Qu Lin shook his head and said, "if you do this, you will only scare the snake."


    After a pause, Qu Lin said without hesitation: "it''s settled. You dispatch the family trained dead men to wait outside the county government. Once Liu Xiu comes out, you will assassinate Liu Xiu."


    Qu Zheng suddenly said: "master, I think of an opportunity to assassinate you."


    "What chance?" Qu Lin asked.


    Qu Zheng said: "when the major families deliver grain, each family has grain. This is not a small amount. At that time, Liu Xiu must be present. Rather than that, we should arrange for the dead to create chaos at the delivery site and then assassinate Liu Xiu. "


    Qu Lin''s eyes lit up and said, "wonderful. It''s a good suggestion. And when the time comes, we will let the dead assassins disguise themselves as the people of the netherworld to assassinate us, so that our suspicion will be cleared


    Qu Zheng said, "I live wisely."


    Qu Lin big sleeve a whisk, way: "the matter is so settled, you go to operate."


    "No!"


    Qu Zheng bowed down, turned around and quit.


    ¡­¡­


    County government, study.


    Liu Xiu, Pang Tong, Jia Xu and Xu Shu are deliberating.


    Xu Shu, with a bright smile on his face, said: "Lord, I have made a statistics today. The grain taken out by the major families is 30000 stones in total. This batch of grain is enough for our soldiers for at least half a month. In the past half a month, the pressure on Jingzhou to deliver grain will be relieved. "


    Liu Xiu said: "now we have defeated quren County, and they have resisted. Only in this way can we be justified in blackmail. The 30000 stone grain is not a waste of effort. "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "the grain will be delivered the day after tomorrow. This matter will be carefully arranged."


    "Yes


    Xu Shu nodded, his face is also a bright smile.


    More than 30000 tons of grain can relieve the pressure on the army.As soon as the words changed, Liu Xiu got up and said, "let''s go and have a look at the yellow spring."


    The party got up and left the study and went to the middle cell. When he came to the cell, Liu Xiu saw Huang Quan in a mess. He stared at Huang Quan and said again, "Huang Quan, I''ll ask you again, are you willing to surrender? As long as you are obedient and willing to work for me, you can forget your previous sins. "


    Huang Quan held his head high and said, "you can''t think about it!"


    For Liu Xiu, he is very disdainful, even if Liu Xiu beat him, what can he do?


    Liu Xiu''s expression was suddenly gloomy, and he said, "I''ll leave you to see that you are still useful. If you''re shameless, you can''t afford the consequences. "


    Huang Quan said, "if you die, what else can you do?"


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s so easy to die, but you''re not alone. What about your family when you''re dead? Don''t you even care about your family? "


    Huang Quan''s face suddenly changed. When he looked at Liu Xiu, his eyes were full of anger. He said, "Liu Xiu, it''s not as bad as his wife and children. It''s between you and me. It''s nothing to do with them. "


    Liu Xiu said, "if you insist on not surrendering, it has something to do with them."


    Huang Quan steel teeth clenched, scolded: "Liu Xiu, you are a beast."


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s no use scolding me. I''ll give you two choices. First, if you surrender to your official, then your family can be saved; second, if you insist on dying, then your family will go to the hell with you. "


    The cold words strike the heart of huangquan.


    The pain of death, diffuse in the heart.


    However, after suffering, the expression on Huang Quan''s face gradually became firm.


    With a sneering smile in his mouth, Huang Quan said in a loud voice: "Liu Xiu, even if you bully me, I can''t be threatened by you. I''m from Yizhou. I''m a ghost of Yizhou. This time you captured quren County by intrigue. When general Wu Yi''s army arrives, you will be defeated. "


    Liu Xiu stares at Huang Quan, his expression turns cold gradually, and there is no trace of temperature.


    The yellow spring sees this, does not let.


    Even if he was killed, even if his family was involved, he didn''t regret it, because he should insist on being a man.


    Liu Xiu big sleeve a whisk, way: "spring, you will regret."


    Huang Quan''s face was firm, and he said firmly: "I''m not afraid of death. Are you still afraid of regret? Liu Xiu, you don''t want to surrender yourself. "


    "Go


    Liu Xiu turned around and left.


    Huang Quan sat on his buttock, but he was lost in tears.


    After leaving the prison, Deng Zhan said, "Lord, if Huang Quan really surrendered, what if he recruited Huang Quan?"


    Liu Xiu said, "will a man who is not afraid of death surrender? What''s more, even if Huang Quan does, there''s another way to deal with it. "


    After leaving the prison, they returned to the county government.


    The next day, the latest news came out that Huang Quan refused to surrender and all his family members were killed.


    When the news spread in the county, all the great families were shivering. When they saw Liu Xiu''s tyranny, they even killed the innocent old and weak. It was so cruel.


    But in the cell, there was a steady sound of footsteps.


    It''s a jailer in the cell.


    The jailer came to the outside of huangquan''s cell and said in a low voice, "magistrate Huang, just got the news that your family has died."


    "Ah


    Huang Quan''s eyes widened and his face was full of incredible looks.


    "Liu Xiu, you have to die!"


    The yellow spring roars loudly with endless grief in its voice. He clung to the cell with both hands, and the tears in his eyes slipped down, left behind from his face and fell to the ground.


    The jailer lowered his voice and said, "magistrate Huang, don''t worry. I''ll let you out."


    Huang Quan hears speech, suddenly one Zheng.

 Chapter 538

    The jailer let him out?


    As if Huang Quan had heard a big joke, he was shocked by the jailer''s words.


    "What did you say?"


    Huangquan is still unbelievable, ask again.


    The jailer said, "I''ll let you out."


    But Huang Quan had some doubts and said, "why?"


    Standing at the door with a look of remembrance on his face, the jailer said, "do you remember three years ago, the villain was not a jailer, but a homeless man. At that time, you personally presided over the recruitment of prison guards. After the villain told us his own situation, you brought the villain in. "


    "You are a high magistrate, and a villain is a little jailer. The villain thought, "even if it''s a gift from a villain, you don''t care about it. There''s no expression."


    "But now that you are in a cell, the villain has a chance to repay you."


    The jailer took a deep breath and said, "for nothing else, just for your old kindness, the villain will let you out. In particular, Liu Xiu killed your family. As the saying goes, it''s worse than his wife and children, but he''s so cruel. It''s the common indignation of God and man. "


    After listening to it, Huang Quan thought about it carefully, as if it was true.


    Three years ago, he did recruit homeless people to his cell.


    I didn''t expect today, but it played a role.


    Huang Quan stood up, bowed to the jailer and said, "thank you! I don''t know your name yet? "


    Gaoler Han Han a smile, way: "villain Deng PI."


    Huang Quan said, "thank you, Mr. Deng."


    After a pause, Huang Quan said, "wait a moment, you can come with me."


    Deng PI shook his head and said, "no, if I run away, my family will be hard to protect. After you run away, I''ll stab you and pretend someone''s coming to break the prison. At that time, even if they are suspected by the upper authorities, they will not be able to do anything with me. "


    Huang Quan nodded and said, "thank you very much."


    Deng PI added: "villain also heard a piece of news today, which was overheard when Liu Xiu left the prison gate after he failed to persuade Huang county magistrate to surrender in his cell."


    "What''s the news?"


    There is a look of expectation in the eyes of Huang Quan.


    General Wu Yi sent some robbers to the prison and said, "he was going to take them to the prison. The location of the robbery seems to be in a place called Shenfeng mountain. But the villain doesn''t know where the Shenfeng mountain is. "


    Shenfeng mountain!


    After careful consideration, Huang Quan did not know where this place was.


    But now, Huang Quan is not in the mood to think about it.


    At this time, we should consider how to get out of the city after escaping from the prison?


    Deng PI said: "county magistrate, villain will let you go now."


    "No hurry!"


    But Huang Quan suddenly refused.


    The expression on Deng Pi''s face was stunned for a moment, then recovered calm, and said: "what else do you have to tell me?"


    Huang Quan said, "is Liu Xiu blocking the city now?"


    Deng PI thought about it and then said, "after Liu Xiu conquered the city, he just let the soldiers occupy the gate of Sifang. As for the gate of quren County, there was no control card, so it was still free to enter and leave."


    "Well, then I can get out." Huang Quan''s eyes twinkled with excitement and said, "Deng PI, I have to trouble you one more thing."


    Deng PI said, "please say it!"


    "If I go out like this, I will be found out for sure," said Huang Quan. After all, I''m covered in blood. It''s too conspicuous to go out. You''ll have to find me a new suit. I''ll change and then go out


    "Ah


    Deng PI touched his forehead with one hand and exclaimed, "you see, I''m so stupid. I just want to let you go, but I forget such an important thing."


    With a smile, Huang Quan said, "you can come and let me go and build up your loyalty. Don''t worry. When my officer and general Wu Yi come back, you won''t have to be a jailer in your cell. At that time, I will transfer you to the county government. "


    Deng PI said happily, "thank you very much."


    With that, Deng PI turned and left.


    Huang Quan sat in his cell, too excited to help rubbing his hands. He thought that he was at the end of his tether, but he didn''t expect that it was the end of his tether.


    "Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, you didn''t expect that. A little omission will lead you to lose everything."


    Huangquan murmured, thinking about the location of Shenfeng mountain.


    He is also the magistrate of Quren county. How can he have no impression of Shenfeng mountain?


    But Huang Quan didn''t think about it any more. He wanted to fly to Wu Yi immediately, and then told Wu Yi the news. He asked Wu Yi to lead his troops to Shenfeng mountain first, and then waited for Liu Xiu''s ambush to arrive, so as to defeat Liu Xiu''s soldiers.


    Thinking of the scene after defeating Liu Xiu, Huang Quan''s heart was filled with joy.Huang Quan''s family was killed. He just wanted revenge.


    If you don''t kill Liu Xiu, you swear not to be a man.


    Huangquan is waiting quietly. In a short time, Deng PI has come with his clothes. He handed the clothes to Huang Quan and said, "my Lord, these are my clothes. You can make do with them. I dare not go out to borrow clothes or buy clothes for fear of causing trouble. "


    Huang Quan said, "yes, it''s already very good."


    After changing into clothes, Huang Quan looked at it himself, and his face also showed a smile.


    Deng PI quietly opened the prison room, and then took the spring out. He took out a bag of money from his arms and handed it to him. He said, "my Lord, take care of yourself all the way."


    "Take care!"


    Huang Quan took the money and felt heavy in his heart. He is not indecisive, and he runs away without looking back.


    In a short time, huangquan had disappeared in Deng Pi''s sight.


    At this time, a sound of footsteps came from behind Deng PI, but Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan came out. With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "Deng PI, your performance is very good. From today on, you are the head of the prison. The rest of the guards are at your disposal. "


    "Thank you, my Lord!"


    Deng Pi''s face, with a bright smile.


    This Deng Pi is actually the one who Liu Xiu arranged to release Huang Quan.


    In order to make Huang Quan reasonably believe, Liu Xiu searched for people in the county government, but didn''t find anyone who had anything to do with Huang Quan. After a final inquiry, I found Deng PI.


    Deng PI was quite energetic, so Liu Xiu left the matter to Deng PI.


    It turns out that the effect is still very good.


    Liu Xiu patted Deng Pi on the shoulder, and then took Deng Zhan back to the county government.


    On the other side, Huang Quan shuttles around the city alone. He first found a certain hat at random, and then went out with it. Along the way, I didn''t notice.


    Huang Quan found a horse market, bought a horse, and then rode out. When approaching the gate of the city, Huang Quan''s heart fluttered and his eyes were very nervous.


    Fortunately, there were no soldiers at the gate.


    The soldiers on the tower did not come down to patrol.


    Huangquan smoothly left the county, quickly left. When he was far away from the county, he stopped and looked up at the city, with a cold look in his eyes and endless hatred.


    "Liu Xiu, I will not kill you and swear not to be a human being."


    "Father, mother, I will take revenge for you."


    "I''ll take revenge on you, baby and green."


    "Your spirit in heaven must bless me to join general Wu Yi safely and smoothly."


    Huang Quan stands alone on the open official road, roaring with great victory. In his voice, he was hoarse and hoarse. His eyes are more irresistible flashing tears, tears quietly flowing down.


    Men have tears, but not to the sad place.


    The city is broken and the family is killed!


    Everything, all of a sudden, all of this is caused by Liu Xiu.


    After the vent, the restless mood gradually subsided, and the expression also recovered. He took a deep look at the direction of the city, then turned the horse''s head and reached for a horse''s back.

 Chapter 539

    North of the city, the location of the granary.


    After the fire, all the original granaries were burned.


    After cleaning, it was rebuilt.


    This day is the time for the major families to send food.


    Xu Shu and Huo Jun came early. They were responsible for receiving grain and carrying the grain from family to family to the granary. Bags of grain are moved into the granary and put down.


    It started in the morning and lasted until noon.


    In the afternoon, Liu Xiu came with Deng Zhan.


    When he came to the granary gate, Liu Xiu looked at Xu Shu and asked, "Yuanzhi, how much grain have you brought?"


    Xu Shu looked at the account book and replied, "there are already 25000 stones, and only 5000 stones are left, and the grain of the Qu family has not yet been delivered."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "the Qu family will eventually send it."


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, a soldier came and reported: "military adviser, the grain of the Qu family has come."


    "Good!"


    Xu Shu nodded slightly, then looked at Liu Xiu: "Lord, there''s food coming. I''m going to be busy."


    Liu Xiu said, "good!"


    Seeing that Xu Shu and Huo Jun are busy, Liu Xiu takes Deng Zhan to punch around the granary, and then goes out.


    The official road ten feet away from the granary is three feet wide.


    This is the only way to or from the granary. In the woods on both sides of the official road, there are ten dead men in black, all of whom were sent by the Qu family.


    The leader was named Qu Zhong, thirty Xu, thin, cold eyed and murderous.


    Qu Zhong stares at the front coldly. Seeing Liu Xiu coming out of the granary, he orders, "come on, let someone push the unicycle out."


    At the command, a middle-aged man at the back of the official road came with his back bent and wheelbarrow.


    "Wheel! Wheel


    The unicycle moved on slowly, and there was an empty sack on it.


    At this time, Liu Xiu came over from the front, and the distance from the unicycle was less than two Zhang away.


    The distance is getting closer and closer. A moment later, it''s less than ten feet.


    "Oh dear!"


    All of a sudden, the middle-aged man pushing the unicycle had a soft leg, as if his feet were askew.


    Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan were attracted by the sound.


    "Liu Xiu, die!"


    At the moment when Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan were absent-minded, the middle-aged man with the wheelbarrow pulled out a long sword from under the sack and went straight to Liu Xiu.


    The light of the sword flickered, and the light came to Liu Xiu in an instant.


    Liu Xiu turned to avoid the blow.


    "Sonorous!"


    Liu Xiu pulled his sword out of its sheath. His Zhenshan sword came out of his hand. As soon as the tip of the sword shook, he stabbed the middle-aged man. At the same time, Deng Zhan is also very pale and has drawn his sword to the middle-aged people.


    He is good at assassinating. Now this man is assassinating Liu Xiu in front of him. It''s like touching a tiger''s ass. Especially when he''s around and wants to assassinate him, it''s like death.


    Deng zhanjian is brilliant and murderous.


    Liu Xiu shot, but said: "Deng Zhan, live."


    "Yes


    Deng zhandexing, sword light approaching middle-aged people, constantly approaching.


    "Kill


    Seeing that his subordinates failed, Qu Zhong suddenly rushed out of the woods and rushed to Liu Xiu.


    "Kill Liu Xiu!"


    "Kill Liu Xiu, kill him!"


    "Liu Xiu, you even want to kill Huang County Magistrate''s wife and children. You shouldn''t be a son. Kill him."


    "For the wife and children of Huang County Magistrate."


    The shouts came from the mouths of the dead.


    Qu Zhong took ten dead men in black, all of them killed directly. These people are all dead men and killers. They only kill the enemy with their swords, regardless of their own lives. Eleven people besieged Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan, and the situation was tense for a moment.


    The news immediately spread into the granary.


    The soldiers in the granary saw this and quickly killed them.


    Qu Zhong roared: "the officers and men are coming. Hurry up and kill Liu Xiu."


    "Hum!"


    The light of the sword shakes, and Qu Zhong''s sword stabs Liu Xiu quickly, trying to kill him. When the long sword in his hand approached Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu''s sword trembled and Zhenshan sword hit Qu Zhong''s sword.


    "Dang! Dang


    The sword body kept pounding, making a harsh sound.


    "One sword, matchless!"


    Liu Xiu''s sword moves suddenly changed and quickly approached Qu Zhong. The light of the sword was flowing in the air, which was unparalleled in the world. A cold light passed Qu Zhong''s wrist. His right hand held the sword''s wrist, and the blood was already flowing out.


    Blood flow, a deep pain into Qu Zhong''s brain.


    The hand that held the sword lost its power.Liu Xiu got up and hit Qu Zhong''s temple with one punch from his left hand. With one blow, Qu Zhong felt dizzy, fell to the ground and fainted.


    "Kill


    Liu Xiu fell into a fight, and the Zhenshan sword in his hand kept cutting.


    No matter Liu Xiu or Deng Zhan, they are both good swordsmen. Even if they are surrounded by more than ten people, they are not affected at all. On the contrary, they are more brave in the war. More and more people fell under their swords. Several of them were directly knocked unconscious.


    After fighting for a moment, another soldier rushed up and surrounded the dead.


    In the face of the soldiers rushing up, the soldiers of the Qu family were not afraid at all, and they were still fighting bravely.


    In the end, ten soldiers were lost, and all the Qu family members who resisted were killed.


    Xu Shu had already run over, with a look of shame on his face, and said, "my Lord, the humble duty is not supervised effectively, so that some assassins sneak into the granary. Please forgive me."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "it has nothing to do with you. They come and go without a trace. It has nothing to do with you. Just now, these people said that they were avenging for huangquan. Maybe they were the people huangquan was looking for. "


    Xu Shu said, "what about these people?"


    He looked at the assassins who fell to the ground. Some of them had been killed, but some of them were knocked unconscious.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "the matter of interrogation is naturally handed over to Deng Zhanlai."


    "You''re busy. I''ll go back to the county government first."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand, took a group of soldiers to escort the stunned assassin, and then went to the county government. After returning to the county government, Deng Zhan first sounded the alarm for the royal guards stationed in the county government, and then came to the backyard.


    In the yard, the surviving assassins wake up.


    These people''s bodies, including their hair, have been cleaned to ensure that there are no more lethal weapons.


    Qu Zhong looked at the three people around him. Four of them, including him, were captured, and the rest were killed. Qu Zhong looked at the other three and nodded solemnly. Before they came here, the three of them were ready. In case of failure, if they were captured, they would give a good confession and put the responsibility on Huang Quan. They came to assassinate Liu Xiu for Huang Quan.


    "Step on it! Step on


    A sound of footwork came from outside the yard.


    Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan came to the yard. As interrogators, Deng Zhan looked at the four and asked, "come on, why did you assassinate the Lord?"


    Qu Zhong took the lead in saying: "Liu Xiu is cruel and ferocious. As the saying goes, the disaster is worse than his wife and children. Although Huang Quan doesn''t surrender, Liu Xiu, a dog official, won''t even let Huang Quan''s wife and children go. When we assassinated Liu Xiu, we wanted to avenge Huang Quan. "


    "Revenge for the yellow spring?"


    Deng Zhan sneered and said, "well said, but it''s a pity you''re not."


    Deng Zhan was so murderous that he didn''t believe such a statement at all and said, "tell me, who are your real identities and who are the people behind you? Otherwise, don''t blame me for being impolite. "


    Qu Zhong said, "it''s said that we are avenging for huangquan, but you don''t believe it. Hum, you are Deng Zhan. As Liu Xiu''s running dog, you must die hard in the future. "


    Deng Zhan tut tut two, said: "will also use the method, unfortunately, I do not fall for it."


    "Since you are not willing to tell the truth, I will be punished."


    With a wave of his hand, Deng Zhan let the soldiers bring 18 kinds of torture tools.


    After a variety of instruments of torture were put out, Deng Zhan began to use torture to extort confessions, but the four men were so stubborn that they insisted that they wanted to revenge for the spring.


    All the instruments of torture went through, but there was no harvest.


    Deng Zhan''s brow was slightly wrinkled, and his face showed hesitation.


    Qu Zhong''s face was full of pain, but when he saw Deng Zhan''s decadent look, the corner of his mouth suddenly rose, with a tiny smile. Liu Xiu just fell a smile in his eyes.


    Deng Zhan also did not recruit, said: "Lord, they may really come to revenge for the spring."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "no, they have another identity."

 Chapter 540

    The determined tone made Qu Zhong''s eyes jump and he had a bad feeling in his heart.


    All kinds of criminal laws have been tried. Why is Liu Xiu so determined.


    The other three dead men, though expressionless on their faces, still set off huge waves in their hearts. Although they have their own training, they have been used to such criminal law for a long time, but they didn''t get it again. It was all torture from the body to the heart.


    I thought I would be completely liberated if I was killed or imprisoned.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu denied it.


    Deng Zhan was also eccentric and said, "Lord, how can you judge that they have other identities?"


    Liu Xiu said, "intuition!"


    In a word, Deng Zhan was speechless. This is not a funny joke. However, Liu Xiu was the Lord. Since Liu Xiu had decided, he could only agree with Liu Xiu''s practice and said, "in that case, I will continue to interrogate him in a humble position."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "no, this interrogation method has no effect."


    Deng Zhan said: "what is the master going to do?"


    Deng Zhan also saw the interrogation just now. Because when the criminal law is used, the expressions on these faces are quite habitual. At first sight, they are trained dead men who are not afraid of interrogation at all.


    Under such circumstances, ordinary punishment does not work.


    Liu Xiu said, "this time, we will use water for interrogation."


    "Water penalty?"


    There is a trace of doubt in Deng Zhan''s eyes.


    As the leader of the royal guards, he is also an expert in interrogation and is proficient in various interrogation methods. But this is the first time I have heard the word "water penalty". What kind of interrogation method is this?


    Qu Zhong saw Liu Xiu''s face. Somehow, he had a bad feeling in his heart.


    If he wasn''t bound, he would have killed the others immediately.


    Even, it''s almost suicide.


    Unfortunately, he was unable to move and commit suicide, so he had to accept Liu Xiu''s punishment again.


    Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and said, "first, fill a kettle with water. Second, prepare a water absorbent embroidered handkerchief. Embroidered handkerchief must be bigger and thicker, not too thin. Third, prepare a board. The board''s function is to tie people to it and control them from moving. "


    "Yes


    Deng Zhan got the order and arranged it immediately.


    In less than a quarter of an hour, the soldiers had everything ready.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Qu Zhong and said, "you are always talking. It seems that your prestige among them will be higher. So, I''ll take you for an operation. Come on, push him down on the board, and then tie the rope to make sure his hands and legs can''t move. "


    The soldiers were ordered to take action immediately.


    Qu Zhong was pressed down on the board. His hands were placed flat and his whole body was like a cross.


    After being bound, Qu Zhong could not move his hands and feet, and had no room to move at all.


    After Liu Xiu saw it, he had a devil like smile on his face and said, "this is good. I think we can have a good time." He asked people to put the board on the ground, and then someone blocked the mouth of the other three dead men before he came to Qu Zhong with a kettle.


    Liu Xiu looked at Qu Zhong and said, "I''ll ask you again. Who is behind the scenes?"


    Qu Zhong said, "I''ve already said that I''m here to avenge Huang Quan."


    "Tut Tut, I''m really disobedient."


    Liu Xiu was very disappointed and said: "it seems that you are really toasting instead of drinking. In fact, I really sympathize with you dead men. Every time I gritted my teeth and didn''t say anything, but in the end, I suffered a lot, and finally I said the answer. But in fact, what''s the advantage of this? The pain has been endured, and the answer has to be given in the end. "


    Qu Zhong is very hard, way: "I am revenge for the yellow spring, you don''t believe even."


    "Well, have the backbone!"


    Liu Xiu carried the kettle and spread the thick embroidered handkerchief on Qu Zhong''s face.


    "Good play, here we go!"


    Liu Xiu''s voice, with a trace of expectation.


    Qu Zhong continued: "you can''t get anything. I''m the one who takes revenge for huangquan." Because his face was covered with embroidered handkerchief, Qu Zhong''s voice was vague.


    At this moment, Deng Zhan watched carefully.


    Although the other three were helped and their mouths were blocked, they were also quite nervous.


    Liu Xiu easily picked up the kettle, the spout aimed at the embroidered handkerchief and began to water it.


    "Wow!"


    The water fell on the embroidered handkerchief and splashed around.


    Although the water is constantly flowing off, but it quickly wet the embroidered handkerchief, making the whole embroidered handkerchief sealed by water, making the air through the embroidered handkerchief thinner.


    Qu Zhong, whose face was covered with embroidered handkerchief, was still calm at first, but gradually his breathing became difficult.


    "Woo! WooQu Zhong blushed and struggled.


    He shakes his head, but people are fixed on the board. No matter whether his head is deflected to the left and right sides or lifted up, he can''t get rid of the embroidered handkerchief and can''t breathe fresh air at all.


    His body struggled, but his body was tied up from his hand. No matter how he struggled, he could not have any influence at all, so that he was very uncomfortable.


    It felt as if the sky was going to fall.


    All the strength of the whole body has been used up, but there is still no effect. I just feel that it is more and more difficult to breathe.


    Qu Zhong kept on struggling. The strength of his struggle started from a big struggle at the beginning, then decreased, and gradually lost the scope of his struggle. His mind was in chaos and gradually lost consciousness.


    This process is extremely uncomfortable.


    At the moment when Qu Zhongren was already in chaos and about to die, the embroidered handkerchief on his face was untied.


    A wisp of fresh air, inhaled from the mouth and nose.


    As the air inhaled, his heart began to beat, and the confused Qu Zhong finally got a little sober. A moment later, Qu Zhong woke up, but his head was still sore and his temples were very uncomfortable.


    At the moment, Qu Zhong''s eyes are full of blood, and his cheeks are even more red, like a red monkey''s ass.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "how are you, comfortable?"


    Qu Zhong felt a touch of fear on his face when he heard the speech.


    Just now, with water dripping on the embroidered handkerchief, his mouth could breathe at first, but later all he breathed was water. After his swollen throat was blocked by water, it became difficult for him to breathe air again.


    That feeling, it''s life is not like death.


    Liu Xiu looked at the other three men in black with a smile on his lips.


    This smile, like a demon sneer, made the three men in black shiver. The three people witnessed with their own eyes how Liu Xiu attacked Qu Zhong just now, which was really more cruel than killing pigs.


    The one who killed the pig was just a knife. He struggled twice and died.


    But if it goes on like this, it''s just a little bit of blunt knife cutting meat, which is very painful.


    Liu Xiu looked at Qu Zhong and said again, "when I poured the water just now, I was in a hurry. This time, I''ll slow down. Well, I''ll slow it down by half and double the time so that you can really feel it. Otherwise, you can''t enjoy it. "


    Brush!


    Qu Zhong''s face became extremely frightened.


    He didn''t want to feel that scene in his whole life. It was really worse than death. It''s not as simple as pain. It''s really impossible to live or die.


    After going through it once, I don''t want to bear such punishment any more.


    Liu Xiu did not ask at all. With a wave of his hand, he asked the soldiers to take a new embroidered handkerchief and put it on Qu Zhong''s face.


    "Ah


    A scream came from Qu Zhong''s mouth.


    "I say, I will!"


    At the moment when Qu Zhong''s sight was blocked, his defense line collapsed. He could no longer bear it and surrendered directly. He will not be far away again water punishment, can only simply surrender.


    Liu Xiu put down the kettle in his hand, took down the embroidered handkerchief, and said with a smile: "look, just now I have already told you. If you want to say it earlier, why wait until now? After suffering, we have to tell the people behind the scenes. "


    Qu Zhong still has a lingering fear and a shadow in his heart.


    Liu Xiu looked at the man and said, "come on, who is behind the scenes? If you can''t convince me, maybe you will bear the water penalty again."


    Qu Zhong said, "my name is Qu Zhong. I''m a member of the Qu family. The messenger behind the scenes is Qu Lin."

 Chapter 541

    "The Qu family!"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed, and there was a cold light in them.


    If it is about the Qu family, it is possible. After all, the Qu family is the largest family in Quren county. They are under pressure and are forced to produce 3000 stone grains. It is normal for them to have opinions.


    Deng Zhan said: "Lord, I will mobilize the royal guards to surround the Qu family."


    "No royal guards."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and looked at the other three people. He asked them to take off the cloth from his mouth and said, "are you sure you are really from the Qu family?"


    "Yes, we are all from the Qu family."


    "We are the dead men of the Qu family. We have always been in the Qu family."


    "The assassination was ordered by the master of the family."


    Three people you a look I a language, all honest confession. Liu Xiu''s waterboarding just now gave them a deep impression, which made them still have a little bit of fear, for fear that they would do it again.


    Liu Xiu nodded with satisfaction and said, "good. I believe you for the time being."


    Deng Zhan once again asked: "Lord, how to deal with the Qu family?"


    Liu Xiu''s expression was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "summon wenpin, mobilize the army to surround the Qu family. No one is allowed to leak. "


    "Yes


    Deng Zhan nodded, turned and went down to convey the order.


    Liu Xiugen didn''t take Qu Zhong with him. He asked someone to take them down, and then he went back to the hall. After Deng Zhan came back, he and Deng Zhan went to qujiaxing together.


    ¡­¡­


    Qu family!


    Study!


    The old housekeeper stood beside Qu Lin, with Qu Zheng standing beside him.


    With a worried look on his face, the old housekeeper said, "master, the assassination of Liu Xiu has failed. We have four people arrested according to the information we got."


    Qu Lin said: "even if Liu Xiu catches people, it''s useless for him to have only certification and no material evidence. Moreover, these four people are all the victims of our Qu family, who have been tortured. No matter how Liu Xiu is punished, they will not confess. "


    The old housekeeper worried, "what if they confess?"


    Qu Zhengdao: "yes, once Qu Zhong confesses, it will be very troublesome."


    Qu Lin sneered and said, "as I said just now, it''s useless for Liu Xiu to have human evidence but no material evidence. No matter what he does, I''m going to kill him. This is not our Qu family. What can Liu Xiu do for me? Because of the confession of several people, he would insist that I ordered him. Hum, I can also say that Liu Xiu deliberately wanted to deal with my Qu family. "


    Qu Zheng nodded and said, "that''s also the truth."


    But the old housekeeper was worried and said, "what if Liu Xiu insists on doing it?"


    Qu Lin''s old face became dignified.


    People, also silent down.


    After a long silence, Qu Lin said, "if that''s the case, you can only listen to the destiny and do your best."


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a servant came in, looking flustered.


    The servant''s face was worried and said, "master, it''s bad. There are a lot of officers and soldiers from outside the government. Now they have surrounded us."


    Qu Lin stood up from his seat and said, "those who should come will always come. Let''s go and have a look in the front hall."


    At the moment, Qu Lin''s face was full of grandeur. It seemed that his back was no longer bent, and he was more murderous, as if he were a fighter.


    The old housekeeper and Qu Zheng, with dignified expression, followed behind and went out.


    When they came to the gate of the house, they saw a series of soldiers outside the house, and more archers armed with bows and arrows aimed at the inside of Qu''s house. As long as a command, countless bows and arrows will be shot into the house.


    Qu Lin stood at the door and looked out. His eyes fell on Liu Xiu.


    Qu Lin said: "Liu Jingzhou, the Qu family just donated 3000 stone grain, and now Liu Jingzhou is leading the army to encircle the Qu family. What''s the purpose of this?"


    Liu Xiu''s face was calm and said, "old man, what have you done? Don''t you know?"


    Qu Lin shook his head and said, "I don''t know."


    In the face of Liu Xiu''s strength, Qu Lin does not intend to admit it. As long as he doesn''t admit it, he believes that Liu Xiu can''t do anything to the Qu family without material evidence.


    Liu Xiu said: "the head of the Qu family is really good at talking and laughing. He is really old but not dead. He is a thief. When he is old, he has thick skin. He has enough thick skin."


    Qu Lin said: "the Qu family has just helped Liu Jingzhou, but now Liu Jingzhou has turned over, which is disappointing."


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s really cunning of the Qu family to show their affection and turn their faces at the same time."


    Qu Lin still denied it and said, "Liu Jingzhou, the Qu family has never done anything like this. If Liu Jingzhou wants to make a move, the Qu family is not a bully. They will fight to the end. "


    Liu Xiu said, "well, what a master of the Qu family. Liu Zhang might have been frightened by you. He didn''t dare to do anything about you. Hum, but I have never been threatened. "Qu Lin said: "Liu Jingzhou is going to force his hand on the Qu family."


    Liu Xiu said: "the army has surrounded the Qu family, don''t you think? Do you think other families in Quren county will come out for you? You think too much. You can rest assured that after the destruction of the Qu family, I will fenrun the interests of the Qu family''s shops to the major families. I believe they will be very interested. "


    Qu Lin''s face suddenly changed.


    On the one hand, Qu Lin''s courage to resist is due to the strength of the Qu family. On the other hand, if the Qu family has fallen, is it far from other families? Other families will certainly act.


    But now, Liu Xiu surrounded the Qu family with his troops, so that the power of the Qu family did not dare to act rashly. On the other hand, Liu Xiu shared the interests of the Qu family with other aristocratic families, thus pacifying them.


    This move is too cruel.


    Qu Lin''s confidence was immediately broken by Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu gazed at Qu Lin with a smile and said, "master Qu, do you want the Qu family to bury you, or what should I do?"


    Qu Lin clenched his fist and said, "Liu Jingzhou, the Qu family didn''t assassinate you."


    At this time, Qu Lin is still planning to carry it to the end. Things have sat down, even if he admitted, things can not be calm. Under such circumstances, Qu Lin is going to die to the end. Especially when he is dead, he can''t take care of other things. He just goes out and has a fight with Liu Xiu.


    Liu xiudao: "Qu Lin, you really want to die."


    "Archer, prepare!"


    Liu Xiu retreated to the rear and gave the order directly.


    Qu Lin, Qu Zheng and the old housekeeper also quickly retreated to the family, and then people were ready to resist.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "shoot the arrow!"


    With a command, the soldiers under his command have launched a series of arrows, and countless bows and arrows have been shot into the house. In an instant, there was a series of screams. It was obvious that someone in the house was hit by a bow and arrow.


    Liu Xiu retreated to the rear, looked at Wen pin and said, "strive to catch Qu Lin alive!"


    "No!"


    He presided over it in person.


    But Huang Hu came to wenpin and said, "general Wen, a little Qu family, can we waste bows and arrows like this? You give me 200 soldiers. I''ll go in with a drum jar and a gold hammer. Hum, the old man Qulin dares to fight against the Lord. He''s tired of living. He really wants to twist his head. "


    Wenpin said: "General Huang, don''t squeeze. Wait a little longer. After the bow and arrow are shot out, it will be taken back at that time. After a few rounds of bows and arrows, the morale of the Qu family will be low and backward, and then you can take people to kill them. "


    "Good!"


    Huang Hu rubbed his hands and waited quietly.


    After five rounds of archery, wenpin gave the order to attack.


    Huang Hu took the lead in rushing to the gate with a golden hammer. His eyes were wide open in anger, and the golden hammer of the drum jar in his hand was raised, and he roared: "broken!"


    The golden hammer of the drum jar suddenly fell and hit the gate.


    "Boom!"


    When the door was hit, there was a crack in the door panel, and it was even more shaking. The private soldiers of the Qu family who resisted in the door were shocked to the ground one by one, spitting blood in their mouths, and they were extremely embarrassed.


    At the moment, Huang Hu was like killing a God. He roared, "come again!"


    With a loud cry, the golden hammer of the drum jar in Huang Hu''s hand was raised again, and then blasted at the impact site just now.


    "Chaka! Click


    The thick gate was broken and there was a big thumb gap.


    Huang Hu''s killing was on the rise. He stamped his feet, swung the golden hammer with both hands, and hit the gate again. With a loud noise, the two gates were smashed open.


    "Kill


    Huang Hu took the lead and rushed inside with a golden hammer.

 Chapter 542

    Yellow tiger into the Qu family, like a tiger into a sheep.


    The gold hammer in his hand, which was a drum jar, was even whistling in the air. And the gold hammer of the drum jar hit the private soldiers of the Qu family, either dead or wounded.


    No one can stop the yellow tiger.


    With the influx of yellow tigers, there are more and more Jingzhou soldiers.


    When these officers and soldiers entered the Qu family, they kept cutting and killing, killing the Qu private soldiers who resisted one by one.


    Qu Lin takes Qu Zheng and others to retreat. At this moment, Qu Lin knows that it is very difficult to resist. The only way is to withdraw and break out. As long as you get out, you can come back.


    Qu Lin said, "back door!"


    A group of people quickly ran to the back door, came to the back door, Qu Lin let people open the door to rush out.


    "Old thief, shamoko has been waiting here for a long time."


    Shamoko was carrying the Tribulus terrestris. When he saw the door open, he killed it directly.


    The flower of Tribulus terrestris is shining in the air, then it falls.


    "Boo!"


    The bone flower of Tribulus terrestris smashed on the head of a private soldier of the Qu family. In an instant, the head cracked, blood splashed and dyed the bone flower of Tribulus terrestris red. But shamoko grinned and rushed forward again.


    Behind shamoko, the soldiers followed and rushed forward quickly.


    A pair of people killed to go in, make originally want to escape of Qu Lin, unexpectedly is no way to escape, can''t go through the back door to break through.


    "Old man, Huang Hu is here. Where are you going to escape?"


    Huang Hu''s voice came from behind, and he chased Qu Lin all the way.


    At the moment, Qu Lin, Qu Zheng, the old housekeeper and others have been surrounded.


    Huang Hu and shamoko looked at each other. There was even a little fighting emotion in their eyes, and they committed suicide in an instant. All the soldiers in the air were beating the drum and beating the iron hammer.


    Qu Zheng rushed up, raised the knife and went to the drum jar gold hammer.


    Dang!


    The blade hit the hammer and flew out.


    Then, the golden hammer of the drum jar approached Qu Zheng and hit him on his chest.


    Click!


    The ribs broke and the chest cavity sank in.


    "Poof!"


    Qu Zheng screamed, and his mouth burst out blood.


    Immediately, people have fallen to the ground, no breath.


    At the moment when Huang huchui killed Qu Zheng, Sha Moke killed the old housekeeper with a bone of Tribulus terrestris. He reached out and caught Qu Lin, then said with a smile: "tiger, I''m willing."


    Huang Hu stares big eyes and says, "Lao Sha, you''ve picked up a bargain."


    They took Qu Lin and went to Qu''s house. All the way, the people of Qu''s house surrendered when they saw that Qu Lin had been arrested. The fight gradually subsided, and finally Qu Lin was carried to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu looked at the old Qu Lin and said, "Qu Lin, what do you think now?"


    Qu Lin said, "it''s just that the king defeated the enemy."


    "The king defeated the enemy?" Liu Xiu sneered twice and said, "with the ability of the Qu family, do you still want to be the king and defeat the enemy? It''s just too much. If you are honest in quren County, then everything is easy to say. It''s a pity that you took the risk to kill me. "


    Qu Lin said, "Liu Xiu, you have to die well."


    Liu Xiu said: "countless people curse me to death, but they all go to hell."


    After that, Liu Xiu looked at Wen pin and said, "the Qu family will copy the house, all the legitimate descendants will be killed, all the servants will be dismissed, and all the money and food will be confiscated."


    "Yes


    Wenpin should fight for success.


    Wen pin was not surprised by Liu Xiu''s order.


    If you cut grass but don''t get rid of the roots, you''re blocking yourself up.


    Liu Xiu escorted Qu Lin to leave. Then he looked at Deng Zhan and said, "you should immediately arrange for people to inform the owners of the major families. At noon tomorrow, all of them will gather at Caishikou execution ground in the county seat. I will personally supervise Qu Lin''s execution."


    "Yes


    When Deng Zhan heard the speech, he immediately sent out the soldiers of the royal guards.


    They went back to the county government and temporarily detained Qu Lin, Qu Zhong and others.


    At night, wenpin came back.


    With a look of ecstasy on his face, wenpin said: "Lord, today I am going to make a house search. I have seized more than 6000 mu of land from the Qu family, and many of them are good farmland. Besides, there is a lot of money. The grain accumulated in the granary of the Qu family is even more innumerable. Moreover, all the shops of the Qu family in the county have been sealed up. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "not bad! All grains are put into storage after counting. Now Wu Yi has led the army to fight. The place where we fight with each other is in quren County, so in a short time, we will all be in Quren county. This will bring us more food and a lot of benefits. "


    "Yes


    Wen pin nodded and then went down.The next morning, after getting up to wash, Liu Xiu did some morning exercises in the yard.


    In the morning, Liu Xiu stayed in the county government for the time being. At noon, Liu Xiu took Qu Lin, Qu Zhong and others to the execution ground at Caishikou.


    When he came to the execution ground, Liu Xiu glanced around, and all the family members had arrived.


    Liu Xiu stepped on the high platform of the execution ground, looked at the people of the major families, and said in a loud voice: "yesterday, I was assassinated by Qu Lin, and the Qu family was even more rebellious. Therefore, I have destroyed the Qu family yesterday. Today, we will kill Qu Zhong and others who assassinated our official. "


    Qu Zhong and the other three Qu family members were taken up.


    Liu Xiu looked at him and ordered: "execution!"


    With an order, the executioner chopped off with a knife, and his four heads fell to the ground with splashing blood.


    After four people were killed, only Qu Lin was left.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Qu Lin and went on to say: "originally, the Qu family took out 3000 stone grain to support our official to attack Liu Zhang. For the Qu family, our official was also very appreciative. But I didn''t expect that the Qu family would plot against me like this. It''s really disappointing. "


    "Originally, I even had the idea of selecting people from the Qu family to become an official."


    "But now, none of this is needed."


    Liu Xiu looked at the family members standing under the stage and said: "those who support our official and abide by the law are welcome by our official. But those who want to sabotage and murder their own officials will be killed. "


    "Chop!"


    Liu Xiu shook his sleeve and gave the order.


    Hum!


    The executioner swung his knife, and the blade passed through the air, then fell down.


    "Puchi!"


    As the blade passed, Qu Lin''s head fell to the ground.


    Blood splashed out and fell on the execution ground.


    There was a look of horror and awe on the faces of the heads of the families or the heads of the families. Because Liu Xiu''s methods were too cruel, he directly destroyed the Qu family.


    Liu Xiu said calmly, "although the Qu family has been destroyed, there are countless shops and even various industries in the county. I''m not interested in shops and industries, so I''ll give them to the people of all the great families. This right should be a reward for your food. "


    After hearing this, the people of all the great families had a look of joy on their faces.


    For the destruction of the Qu family, people are sad.


    But for the Qu family''s industry, the aristocratic family is also quite greedy. Now Liu Xiu didn''t occupy these interests, so everyone was excited.


    "Thank you, Liu Jingzhou!"


    In the crowd, the head of an aristocratic family said.


    "Liu Jingzhou is really the master of benevolence and virtue!"


    "With Liu Jingzhou in quren County, Quren county can develop better."


    "It''s a shame to know that Liu Jingzhou was so kind, and should not have been against Liu Jingzhou before."


    All the masters of the aristocratic families changed their tune and supported Liu Xiu. The reason is that Liu Xiu brought them benefits and made them profitable.


    Liu Xiu said: "for the problems of shops and industries, you can go to wenpin. He will take care of this matter. So you don''t have to be here. Go to wenpin. "


    "Thank you, Liu Jingzhou!"


    "Thank you, Liu Jingzhou!"


    The expression on a person''s face is extremely excited, and he quickly goes to find wenpin.


    Liu Xiu ordered people to stop Qu Lin and Qu Zhong''s corpses. Then he left Caishikou with Deng Zhan and other royal guards and returned to the county government.


    After this incident, the major families were shocked, and it was impossible for any family to jump out and fight against him.

 Chapter 543

    After Huang Quan fled quren County, he rode all the way.


    Along the way, his money and dry food were almost used up. It can be said that he lived in the wind and in the open, and the days were very hard.


    A suit of clothes is also shabby.


    I''m already dirty. I haven''t bathed for several days.


    However, all this can''t stop Huang Quan''s determination to meet Wu Yi. He has to meet Wu Yi first, and then tell Wu Yi about Liu Xiu''s arrangement, so as to let Wu Yibu ambush early.


    Along the way, Huang Quan suffered a lot.


    On another occasion, he met a thief on the way and took away the little money he had left and his horse gun, which forced him to go on foot.


    Huang Quan is even more exhausted when he is on his way with two legs.


    At the end of the day, I can''t walk much.


    Legs are good, but the stomach is already hungry, but he did not eat.


    At the moment, where there is a trace of county magistrate''s demeanor in the yellow spring, it''s just like a beggar.


    After walking for eight days, Huang Quan stood on a high slope. Looking at it from a distance, he finally found that there was a black army coming in the distance. Seeing the army coming from the distance, Huang Quan''s legs softened and his buttocks collapsed on the ground.


    "Yes, at last!"


    Huang Quan wept with joy. Tears fell from his eyes, leaving two gullies on his stained face.


    "Niang, my son finally met Wu Yi."


    "My son, my father will avenge you."


    "My family, I will definitely cut Liu Xiu with my hand and sacrifice you with his blood."


    Huang Quan murmured to himself, took a deep breath, summoned up his last strength, then stood up and quickly ran to meet the officers and soldiers from Chengdu. About a quarter of an hour later, Huang Quan met the soldier who was walking in the front. He yelled: "I''m Huang Quan, the magistrate of Quren county. I have something important to report to general Wu Yi."


    The dirty appearance of huangquan is a beggar.


    This kind of appearance, make walk in the front of the captain''s face have a suspicious look.


    "Are you really Quren county magistrate?" the captain asked


    Huang Quan nodded and said, "I am. I have something important to see general Wu Yi."


    The captain once again looked at the spring, thought about it, or turned to pass. After a short time, the captain came back. When he came to huangquan, he suddenly smelled a smoky smell. He quickly pinched his nose and said, "follow me!"


    With Huang Quan in front of Wu Yi, the Xiaowei said, "general, I''ve brought you here."


    Wu Yi looked at Huang Quan and suddenly shrugged her nose.


    In an instant, Wu Yi''s face looked disgusted and said, "are you a yellow spring?"


    "Yes


    Huang Quan thought that he had finally met Wu Yi.


    This time, he must tell Wu Yi the news in detail so that Wu Yi can make early preparations.


    Wu Yi''s face was tense, and she pinched her nose. She ordered: "order, the army will have a rest."


    The soldier went down to give orders, but Wu Yi looked at the captain and said, "hurry up, take huangquan down to wash up, change into a new suit and bring it back."


    Xiaowei left with Huang Quan, but Wu Yi still shook her head and quickly changed a place.


    Half an hour later, the captain came back with Huang Quan.


    Xiaowei stood in front of Wu Yi and reported: "general, I will take Huang Xian''s order to take a bath by the river in the distance." At this time, Huang Quan washed clean, put on clean clothes, hair is also combed, people instantly spirit, although thin, but beautiful, a talent. The only drawback is that it seems very tired, full of vicissitudes and old.


    Wu Yi nodded slightly when she saw the person after washing.


    This man is not bad.


    With a smile on her face, Wu Yi said, "magistrate Huang, what do you want to report?"


    "Gulu!"


    Suddenly, an untimely voice sounded.


    "Goo! Coo


    One after another, Huang Quan looked ashamed and said, "excuse me, general. I haven''t had a decent meal for seven days, especially these days. I live by water."


    When Wu Yi heard the speech, she looked respectful and said, "it''s hard for Huang County to make people come and get food."


    The soldiers came with dry food, and Huang Quan ate it in large mouthfuls, regardless of whether it was thirty-seven or twenty-one.


    It was only a quarter of an hour before the end of the spring.


    Huang Quan touched a round belly, with a blush on his face, and said, "let the general laugh!"


    Wu Yi shook her head and said, "I''ve made you suffer."


    After a pause, Wu Yi said, "come on, what''s going on in Quren county?"


    Huang Quan did not hide it. He honestly told Liu Xiu the process of taking quren County, and then said, "general, Liu Xiu has occupied quren County, and even his humble family members have been slaughtered. Such a cruel and cruel person is really damned. I can escape because of the help of the jailer in the cell. "Then, Huang Quan talked about the process of being rescued by the jailer, and also said what the jailer told him.


    Huang Quan said: "Liu Xiu didn''t expect it in his dreams, but his careless words exposed the place where he was about to ambush. General, Shenfeng mountain is where Liu Xiu ambushed. As long as the general lays an ambush in Shenfeng mountain first, then we will win this battle. "


    After hearing this, Wu Yi''s face looked thoughtful.


    When Huang Quan saw this, he didn''t interrupt.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, another sentry came back from the front.


    The sentry rushed back to Wu Yi, took out a letter from his clothes, handed it to Huang Quan and said, "general, this is the latest news from Quren county."


    After Wu Yi took it, she carefully checked what she had inquired about.


    The above is divided into three parts.


    First, Liu Xiu was assassinated by the Qu family. Finally, the Qu family was killed by copying the family. Liu Xiu shocked the big families in Quren county.


    Second, Liu Xiu was temporarily stationed in Quren county and did not send troops.


    Third, Quren county magistrate Huang Quan fled, and Huang Quan''s family has been killed by Liu Xiu.


    The three pieces of news are the latest, which also confirms the words of Huang Quan.


    Wu Yi put away the news and waved to the sentinel to step down. There was a look of trust in her eyes when she looked at Huang Quan. The sentinel confirmed the news, so it was impossible to be false again.


    Huang Fengquan county magistrate: are you sure it''s Huang


    "Yes


    Huang Quan said firmly: "it must be Shenfeng mountain, but I have been in Quren county all the time, and I know quren County quite well. But the location of Shenfeng mountain has never been found in the lower part of the mountain. "


    Wu Yi waved her hand and said, "it''s OK. Now that it''s confirmed, it''s much easier to do."


    Immediately, Wu Yi sent a team of sentinels, immediately dispersed, and then went to inquire about the news of Shenfeng mountain.


    At the same time, the army continued on its way.


    This place is less than 300 li away from quren County, but the places along the way are full of circling mountain roads, and even have to cross mountains. The speed of the army can''t be too fast. It''s hard to reach Quren county without ten and a half days.


    If it''s a flat official road, it''s only three or four days.


    Now it is impossible.


    Two days later, the sentinel sent back the news that he had inquired about Shenfeng mountain.


    Shenfeng mountain is located 200 Li to the west of Quren county. In the area of Shenfeng mountain, there is a tall and straight mountain, which stands in the sky, so it is called Shenfeng mountain, and surrounded by a mountain with a face.


    Shenfeng mountain is an area full of mountain forests.


    If you want to cross Shenfeng mountain, you have to walk through the mountain stream, with sparse mountains and rivers flowing.


    Through here, we can further lead to Quren county.


    After looking at the map of Shenfeng mountain, Wu Yi nodded and said, "the area where Shenfeng mountain is located is really a good place for ambush. If you were a general, you would lay ambush here and wait for the army to arrive. Once in such a position, it will be difficult to resist after being ambushed. "


    Huang Quan''s expression is dignified, way: "Wu general, since know Liu xiubu ambush, that how should do?"


    Huang Quan hated Liu Xiu to the bone.


    The strength that supports him all the way is to avenge his family.


    If the terrain of Shenfeng mountain is not easy to lay an ambush, or Wu Yi is not willing to fight Liu Xiu in Shenfeng mountain, Huang Quan will feel very uncomfortable.


    Wu Yi laughed and said, "now that you know that Liu Xiu is ambushing in Shenfeng mountain, it''s easy. In this war, we will do what we want. "


    When Huang Quan heard the speech, he also had a bright smile on his face.

 Chapter 544

    On the official road, an army is advancing.


    This army is the Jingzhou army led by Liu Xiu.


    There are as many as 10000 soldiers in the army. In addition, there are also yellow tiger''s Flying Tiger Battalion soldiers and shamoko''s wuximan soldiers. Together, there are more than 10000 people.


    This army was led by Liu Xiu to meet Wu Yi. Thirty thousand vs. thirty thousand, Liu Xiu thinks it''s killing a chicken with a bull''s knife against a Wu Yi, but it''s not enough for him to do his best.


    In quren County, Jia Xu, Xu Shu and Huo Jun were left to guard, and 20000 troops were left.


    And the rest of them went to war with Liu Xiu.


    The army was on their way quickly, heading for Shenfeng mountain.


    Along the way, he did not encounter any obstacles, and Liu Xiu was on his way as fast as he could. He tried not to delay on the way. If he arrived at Shenfeng mountain one day earlier, he could arrange it one day earlier.


    Simply from Quren county to Shenfeng mountain, it was smooth and arrived without danger.


    Liu Xiu divided the whole army into four groups.


    The first team, of course, was the wenpin army, which was lying in ambush on both sides of the mountain stream. It was to ambush Wu Yi''s army for the first time.


    The second team is the counterattack team led by Liu Xiu. After wenpin failed to ambush the enemy, wenpin withdrew, and Liu Xiu led the army to kill the counterattack team.


    The third team is the flying tiger Battalion soldiers led by Huang Hu.


    The fourth group was the barbarians led by shamoko.


    Each of the four armies had a different division of labor, and they soon took action on their own.


    Wenpin led the army to hide in the forest on both sides of the stream.


    On the other side, 40 miles to the west of Shenfeng, Wu Yi and his army began to approach. When Wu Yi led the army forward, he sent sentries to wait in Shenfeng mountain early.


    Wu Fengyi is really excited to see Jingzhou into God.


    Here''s the chance!


    This time, it was his chance to defeat Liu Xiu.


    Wu Yi also knows about Liu Xiu. Since Liu Xiu became a Taoist, he has defeated Liu Bei, attacked Sun Quan and retreated from Cao Cao. Even the generals who are good at fighting dare not be arrogant in front of Liu Xiu.


    Especially among the generals in Yizhou, Zhang Ren surrendered and Deng Xian and others were killed.


    The generals of Yizhou were as vulnerable as paper in front of Liu Xiu.


    With Liu Xiu''s prestige, he is a famous general in the world.


    If Liu Xiu can be defeated, Wu Yi will become the God of war and the Savior of Yizhou. At the thought of this, Wu Yi''s heart is hot.


    How glorious it was to defeat Liu Xiu!


    Now, things are easy to come by.


    After confirming the news, Wu Yi ordered the army to stop temporarily, and then called Huang Quan and his generals and staff to gather in front of Wu Yi.


    Wu Yi said, "you guys, Liu Xiu has led his army into Shenfeng mountain to hide. Now, Liu is waiting for us to pass. You say, "what should we do?"


    Aide a said: "general, the current situation is that Liu Xiu doesn''t know that we know the news. It can be said that we have an advantage. In this case, Liu Shanxiu didn''t need to lead some soldiers out of the army, and then let them hide in the army. Then we can send troops to kill and kill. At that time, Liu Xiu will surely be defeated. "


    General a said, "general, I agree with Liu Xiu''s opinion of drawing out his troops."


    The expressions on the faces of all the people were quite in agreement. Since Liu Xiu didn''t know that he had been exposed, it would be very easy for him to have mental calculation but no intention.


    After hearing this, Wu Yi''s face also agreed.


    However, Huang Quan is the one who fights with Liu Xiu, so he knows Liu Xiu better.


    Wu Yi''s eyes fell on Huang Quan and said, "magistrate Huang, what do you think?"


    Huang Quan said: "general, I don''t know how Liu Xiu will deal with it. But what I know is that Liu Xiu is quite cunning, and he always has a back hand. At the beginning, he attacked Quren county. On the surface, he attacked the city, but he had already sent people to disguise themselves into the city, and then took the opportunity to burn grain. Liu Xiu''s means are indispensable. "


    Wu Yi nodded, with a solemn expression.


    Since we want to defeat Liu Xiu, we must be cautious, because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.


    Wu Yi said: "after hearing what Huang county magistrate said, I think the tactics just now are too crude. Once Liu Xiu has a back hand, for example, he prepares his troops on the way to retreat, we can''t cover him up. Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu can''t be defeated in one go. "


    People smell speech, the expression on the face is also slightly nodded.


    In general, a march is a battle in which a defeat is counted before a victory is counted. In order to keep the soldiers, an army will be left ahead of time. Under such circumstances, the safety of the evacuation can be guaranteed.


    Everyone''s eyes are turning and thinking.Huang Quan said, "general Wu, I have an idea."


    "What do you think?" Wu Yi was in a burst of spirit with a curious look on her face.


    Huang Quan''s face was firm, and he said: "Liu Xiuhui will arrange the soldiers to meet him, so that the soldiers under his command will be useless. The previous strategy was to draw out Liu Xiu''s ambush, but the battlefield was still in the mountain stream. I suggest that we pull the battlefield back. "


    "First, we were at war with Liu Xiu''s army. After the war, the enemy''s ambush had come out, and we took the initiative to retreat. Now we have a clear idea of the terrain of Shenfeng mountain. "


    "More than ten miles to the west of Shenfeng, there is a bare hillside."


    "This hillside is a place to fight."


    "Our army retreated to the hillside and stayed in place, attracting Liu Xiu''s ambush and fighting today. At this time, another army was sent out to sneak into the mountain stream where the previous confrontation took place and lay an ambush. "


    Huang Quan said: "at this time, we can counterattack."


    At the moment, the yellow spring is shining in my eyes.


    Revenge, he wants revenge.


    And this war is his chance.


    Huang Quan said: "the third army of Liu Xiu''s troops is coming from outside the hillside. They are attacking from inside and outside. Liu Xiu''s army will not be able to resist. Liu Xiu''s army will certainly retreat and pass through the mountain stream. "


    "At this time, when our soldiers cut off the back road, Liu Xiu''s army became a turtle in the urn."


    "Liu Xiu will be defeated by two attacks!"


    Huang Quan''s eyes twinkled with wisdom, and said: "the advantage of this plan is that it pulls the battlefield a little distance, and then it avoids Liu Xiu''s rescue army, making Liu Xiu''s rescue army useless."


    "Wonderful


    Wu Yi caresses her hands and laughs with a bright smile on her face.


    This plan is really good.


    "The general adopted the plan of Huang County Magistrate. This time he attacked Liu Xiu, he was sure to win. Liu Xiu is a famous general in the world, and all the princes in the world are afraid of him. Today, Liu Xiu is about to lose to the general. I''m really looking forward to that. "


    "Liu Xiu will lose this battle if he has mental calculation but not heart."


    "We will win this battle. If Liu Xiu is defeated, then the general must be a marquis. "


    All the generals in the army are boasting loudly.


    The expression on all faces was joyful, because if Liu Xiu was defeated, not only Wu Yi would get great benefits, but also the generals who followed Wu Yi would be rewarded.


    Wu Yi said with a smile, "if you can defeat Liu Xiu, I will ask for your help in person." As she spoke, Wu Yi looked at Huang Quan and said, "magistrate Huang, if you defeated Liu Xiu, you could have dealt with Liu Xiu."


    "Thank you, general!"


    There was a look of ecstasy on his face.


    If we can let him deal with Liu Xiu, it''s really great. He must let Liu Xiu''s life be better than his death, and let Liu Xiu''s life be better than his death.


    Huang Quan clenched his fist and had a strong expectation in his eyes.


    Wu Yi let his soldiers rest for two quarters of an hour, and then took them on their way to Shenfeng mountain. When the distance was less than 20 Li, Wu Yi decisively divided the troops and carried out according to Huang Quan''s plan.

 Chapter 545

    Shenfeng mountain, in the stream.


    Shenfeng mountain stream, is a relatively flat position.


    There are mountains and rivers flowing here, but they are less than a thumb deep, very shallow, so it''s easy to walk in the mountain stream. The length of this mountain stream is about five miles, and the ground is full of stones.


    Through the mountain stream, you can go through Shenfeng mountain, and then go to Quren county.


    On both sides of the mountain forest, wenpin''s army has been hidden.


    The first army led by Wen pin was in place, waiting quietly.


    Next to Wen pin, the general said: "general, you think, we are all ambushing in the mountain stream, which is several miles long. We can defeat each other in one go."


    Wen pin said, "we are only four thousand soldiers. Do you want to defeat thirty thousand troops?"


    "It''s not impossible." The general laughed.


    Wen pin said: "that''s impossible. Wu Yi is also a leading general. How can he send all his troops into the mountain stream. It is a vanguard army that the other side enters the mountain stream. It is only the vanguard that we want to defeat each other. "


    "I see, oh!"


    After hearing this, the general was quite disappointed.


    It turned out that they were just fighting with the vanguard of Yizhou army.


    Wenpin said: "on weekdays, let you read more books on war, let you read more books, what did you do?"


    The general laughed and then stopped talking.


    Wenpin was waiting quietly. Suddenly, his ears moved and his face changed.


    "Come on, watch out."


    Wen pin raised his hand and pressed it down. The people who were lying in ambush in the mountains all fell down, and their faces were quite serious. It wasn''t long before a group of Yizhou soldiers arrived at the entrance of the mountain stream. These Yizhou soldiers were very nervous. They looked around with a nervous look on their face.


    At a glance, I knew that there were ambushes on both sides of the mountain stream.


    Otherwise, it would not be so.


    Wen pin looks in his eyes and sneers in his heart. Even if Wu Yi makes arrangements, what can he do?


    All this is a plan in itself.


    Since the escape of Huang Quan, the plan has already begun, and Wu Yi is sure to lose this time.


    "Rustle!"


    Yizhou soldiers into the stream, one by one carefully into the stream. Along the waterway, the more you go to the middle, the smaller the water potential is. Even there is a small river in the middle, and the official road is next to the small river.


    In this way, it is more conducive to the road.


    A few miles is not far.


    Wen pin had been staring at the advancing Yizhou soldiers. Seeing that the vanguard army had almost entered, he decisively ordered: "let go the arrow!"


    The soldiers were ordered to take action immediately.


    "Whew!"


    A loud arrow from the woods, suddenly in the air issued a sharp howl.


    At the edge of the forest, suddenly appeared a Archer, all archers are direct bow archery, without a trace of hesitation, even without the first shot.


    "Whew! Whew


    The dense bows and arrows shot out and crossed an arc in the air.


    In a flash, it was shot into Yizhou soldiers.


    "Puchi! Wheezing


    A bow and arrow into the body of Yizhou soldiers, splashing out a pengpeng blood.


    On the spot, many Yizhou soldiers fell to the ground and died, and more soldiers were shot with bows and arrows, all injured.


    There are too many bows and arrows on the edge of the woods on both sides of the mountain stream. Even if they are not prepared, they are enough to shoot Yizhou soldiers as long as they have enough strength, because there are too many Yizhou soldiers entering the mountain stream.


    The formation of Yizhou soldiers was in a mess in an instant.


    "Go ahead, go ahead!"


    In the battle line of Yizhou army, there was a cry of victory.


    The leader of the general also gave a loud order.


    If Yizhou army wants to move forward and occupy a favorable geographical position, wenpin can''t make the other party succeed at all. Wen pin saw that Yizhou soldiers began to rush forward step by step, and once again ordered: "summon, the whole army to attack!"


    At the command, the arrow went up again.


    "Whew! Whew! Whew


    Three consecutive arrows launched one after another, making a sharp sound.


    After the sound came out in the air, the archers on both sides of the mountain stream directly dropped their bows and arrows, swung their long guns or spears on the ground, and quickly killed them.


    "Kill


    "Kill the Yizhou army!"


    "It''s today to make contributions, kill!"


    "Capture Wu Yi alive and kill him!"


    Countless Jingzhou soldiers yelled, and their faces were even more ferocious and excited. For the soldiers of Jingzhou soldiers, they are used to fighting, and they are in war, the more fierce the Vietnam War is.


    One by one, with knives and long guns, they entered the battlefield.In this case, from the innermost position of the mountain stream to the exit, there was Jingzhou army.


    Just like making dumplings, wenpin took soldiers to cover up Yizhou army, and Tuan Tuan surrounded Yizhou army, constantly covering up. First the bow and arrow disrupted the opponent''s formation, then the encirclement.


    This action has already made Yizhou soldiers in chaos.


    "It''s a trick, we''re a trick, get out of here!"


    Seeing that the situation was like a mountain of defeat, the leading general gave the order directly.


    At the same time, it is an established arrangement.


    No matter what the situation is, he must withdraw with his soldiers.


    It''s just that the generals in charge of the troops are also scared, because they never know the strength of the other side when they don''t face the Jingzhou army. Now fighting with Jingzhou army, that''s really seeing the strength of the other side.


    These Jingzhou are too strong, too fierce, it''s completely killing.


    It''s terrible to be so ruthless.


    Wenpin led the soldiers to pursue and kill quickly, while the general of Yizhou army led the soldiers to retreat quickly.


    During the retreat, Yizhou soldiers fled everywhere.


    The whole army has long been in disorder.


    At this point, on the back of the hillside.


    This is the place where Wu Yi led the army. He''s sitting here, and he''s sending out sentinels to find out what''s ahead. In Wu Yi''s heart, she still hoped that her soldiers would have an advantage and then return orderly.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a sentry came back quickly.


    The sentry came back to Wu Yi and reported: "general, we are defeated. Our vanguard is defeated. Jingzhou army was so cruel that they used bows and arrows to shoot and kill countless soldiers. After disrupting our formation, the whole army came out again. One face to face, our army broke up. Now, on the way back. "


    "Hiss!"


    Wu Yi took a cold breath, and her eyes were shocked.


    Liu Xiu''s army really deserves its reputation.


    Huang Quan stood aside with a serious expression and said, "general, Liu Xiu''s army has a strong fighting capacity, which is a well-known thing. It''s not surprising that this happened. Moreover, the first battle itself will be a failure. Now that we are defeated, it is more real. The focus of this battle is on the next fierce battle on the hillside and the cover up. "


    Wu Yi''s shock subsided slightly after hearing the speech.


    Wu Yi, with a solemn expression, said, "explore again!"


    The sentinel went to inquire about the news again. Although Wu Yi had a strong expectation in her eyes, she was also quite uneasy. Because the plan is good, but there are too many variables in the real fight.


    On the battlefield, there is too much uncertainty.


    "Newspaper!"


    Soon, another sentry came back.


    The sentinel reported loudly: "general, our vanguard has been bitten, and now there are many casualties. To get them back safely, soldiers must be sent to rescue them. Sui Pian general asked the general to send troops to rescue, and then withdraw


    Wu Yi could not help clenching her fist when she heard the speech.


    Rubbish!


    It''s impossible to attract Liu Xiu''s troops to the hillside. What''s the use.


    But Wu Yi''s heart scolds to return to scold, the thing son still has to do, Wu Yi directly issued an order, let a Xiaowei lead two thousand elite, rush to rescue the Sui partial General of the vanguard army.


    About two quarters of an hour later, Wu Yi saw the army coming back.


    His troops fled in confusion, constantly retreating to the position of the hillside, and from a distance, in the rear of the army, there is a large army chasing.


    The army that pursued Liu Xiu was the army of Liu Xiu.


    The two armies fought, one retreated and the other buried. It wasn''t long. General Sui had withdrawn with his vanguard troops.


    Wu Yi led the army to rescue, and then all the troops returned to the hillside.


    The Army defends in place, but wenpin''s army is like a wolf smelling meat, attacking frantically and attacking the Yizhou army stationed on the hillside.

 Chapter 546

    Wenpin took the army to the foot of the mountain. Looking at the Yizhou army retreating to the mountain, he roared: "my sons, it''s just a few days ago that we have made great achievements


    At this time, Wen pin did not hide in the army, but took the lead.


    Wenpin took the lead and the soldiers under his command rushed to kill.


    Up and down the hillside, the two sides are constantly fighting.


    However, when Wu Yi was sitting on the hillside, his expression was quite calm, because he had enough troops to stabilize all this. Seeing that wenpin''s troops were about to be killed on the hillside, Wu Yi dispatched 1000 soldiers to the battlefield.


    With the new recruits, the situation stabilized in an instant.


    The soldiers under wenpin''s command, like fighting monsters, fought again and again.


    After fighting for a while, he began to rush up the mountain again.


    At this time, Wu Yi once again dispatched 1000 soldiers to control the situation.


    In this way, thousands of soldiers under wenpin''s command are constantly weakening, and their combat effectiveness is gradually weakening. And in the process of fighting, time also slowly slipped away.


    On the other side, in the stream.


    Liu Xiu and Pang Tong sit in the mountains, while Chen Dao follows Liu Xiu.


    Deng Zhan came to Liu Xiushen in a hurry and reported: "Lord, the soldiers brought by wenpin have lost more than half of their lives. This war can be said to have been completely piled up with the lives of soldiers. "


    Liu Xiu asked, "how are Huang Hu and shamoko going?"


    Deng Zhan replied, "in two quarters of an hour at most, all of them will be in place. In fact, Wu Yi''s eyes are now focused on general Wen. There will be no problem at all. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "that''s good!"


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came in.


    The soldier reported: "my Lord, a Yizhou army has arrived. Now it has sneaked into the woods on both sides of the mountain stream. The position where they lurked was exactly the position where general wenpin led the troops to ambush. "


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he raised his eyebrows.


    Pang Tong raised a smile and said, "it seems that Wu Yi is not stupid. She knows how to sneak into Chen Cang. He didn''t kill wenpin with all his soldiers, just to arrange this army to hide in the mountains. Only then can we cut off the retreat when Wen pin does not withdraw from behind the enemy. If the main police platoon reinforcements, but it is impossible to arrange reinforcements in the mountain stream, so the rear reinforcements will lose effect. Wu Yi''s move is quite good. "


    Deng Zhan answered and said with a smile, "no matter how good it is, there is no way. Unfortunately, they don''t know that we are hiding in the dark. They are lurking here and can only become our dinner


    Even if Wu Yi had an arrangement, it would not help.


    Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and said, "Deng Zhan, Wu Yi has arranged it. Now that the other side is ready, wenpin will no longer have to fight desperately. He will be ordered to withdraw. "


    "Yes


    Deng Zhan was ordered to turn around and go down to arrange.


    At this time, Wen pin was still fighting. He was covered with blood and didn''t know how many Yizhou soldiers he had killed.


    Wenpin only knew that his arm was aching and his strength was not good.


    Even the soldiers under wenpin became exhausted.


    "Kill


    Wenpin has not been ordered, and Wu Yi has not launched a comprehensive counterattack. Wenpin can not withdraw at this time, otherwise the plan will not go on.


    Wenpin looked around and found that the number of soldiers under his command was less than half.


    Dead and wounded!


    In wenpin''s heart, the mood is dignified.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier quickly came to wenpin''s side and said in a loud voice: "general Wen, my Lord, you can withdraw."


    "Good!"


    Wen pin got the order, but he was relieved.


    Finally got the order!


    Up to now, his soldiers have been killed and injured countless times. Even on this hillside, blood and bodies can be seen everywhere. Rao is Wen pin and a general on the battlefield. He is used to life and death, but he can''t help being moved at the moment.


    "Retreat, retreat!"


    Wen pin stopped fighting and gave orders.


    "Dang! Dang! "


    The sound of the call to the end reverberated up and down the hillside.


    Wenpin turned to withdraw, and the soldiers under his command, after hearing the voice, also no longer love war, quickly withdrew. Only the remaining two thousand soldiers withdrew like a tide, and the Yizhou army who resisted was also relieved.


    Facing the fierce Jingzhou soldiers, Yizhou soldiers are also under great pressure.


    On the mountain, Wu Yi saw Wen pin''s withdrawal with a smile on her face. Even though Liu Xiu''s army was elite, it could not stop his army.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came to Wu Yi''s side.


    The soldier reported: "general, all the soldiers ambushing in the mountain stream are in position."


    "Good!"Wu Yi had a proud smile on her face. He ordered: "counter attack, kill!"


    "Dong! Dong! "


    All of a sudden, the roar of war drums resounded on the hillside and passed on to all sides. The powerful voice came to the ears of the soldiers of Yizhou army. The soldiers who had stayed on the hillside for the time being rushed down the mountain and began to cover up the retreating wenpin.


    A steady stream of troops, constantly fighting.


    At this time, Wu Yi had already sent all the troops under his command.


    The lion still needs to use all his strength to fight the rabbit. It''s really wonderful that he can defeat Liu Xiu and give Liu Xiu a head bat.


    Huang Quan also followed Wu Yi with excited eyes.


    It''s going to win!


    He''s going to beat Liu Xiu, but he didn''t see Liu Xiu this time. Maybe Liu Xiu is behind. Huang Quan can''t manage so much. As long as he can defeat Liu Xiu''s army, it''s also a very good thing.


    Wu Yi personally led the army to cover up and kill. He was very proud. He looked at Huang Quan and said, "magistrate Huang, your strategy is very good. If you had not told the general in advance, there would not have been today''s battle of Shenfeng mountain. "


    Huang Quan said: "all generals command well!"


    Wu Yi laughed and said, "this battle can defeat Liu Xiu''s army. I will ask for credit for you personally."


    Huang Quan nodded his head, and now he is indifferent to the merits and so on. If you want revenge for your parents, now it''s Xueren.


    The troops are constantly covering up and killing the fleeing wenpin army.


    Wenpin led the troops to retreat, and soon they had retreated to the mountain stream. Without any hesitation, wenpin led the troops to kill them. Not long after, all the bloody soldiers under wenpin''s command had entered the mountain stream.


    "Guo Feng of Yizhou army is here. You have no way to go. Those who come down will not be killed!"


    Suddenly, a general was killed in the forest.


    His name was Guo Feng. He was born with a strong back and a strong figure. He was a valiant general under Wu Yi''s command. His name was Guo Feng. He''s got a Sirius gun in his hand. It''s sharp.


    Behind Guo Feng, three thousand soldiers stopped him.


    Seeing that wenpin''s army didn''t stop, Guo Feng said coldly: "stubborn!"


    "Kill


    Guo Feng roared and took the gun to kill him.


    Three thousand Yizhou troops blocked the way, and then Wu Yi led the army. At the moment, Wu Yi''s smile was even more brilliant. He roared: "the Jingzhou army is in the trap, kill it!"


    "The Jingzhou army is in the trap. Kill it!"


    "The Jingzhou army is in the trap. Kill it!"


    "The Jingzhou army is in the trap. Kill it!"


    Countless soldiers of Yizhou army cried out for victory and quickly killed the soldiers led by wenpin.


    Wenpin was caught between the two armies, and the situation was quite dangerous.


    "Kill


    Wenpin is not afraid. He takes his soldiers to kill Guo Feng. Because he knew the plan early and knew that Liu Xiu was still lurking in the dark.


    In this war, it was Wen pin, not him, who was ambushed.


    Among the mountains, Liu Xiu learned that the Yizhou army had all been killed.


    Liu Xiu knew about it, and ordered: "let go of the arrow, kill!"


    "Whew! Whew! Whew! Whew


    Four arrows in a row took off and suddenly exploded in the air. The voice sounded on the battlefield, abrupt and even more sudden.


    "Kill


    "Wu Yi, you are in the trap!"


    "Wu Yi, you are in the trap!"


    All of a sudden, all over the sky shouting, constantly resounding in the mountains.


    In the inner side of the mountain stream, there was a loud cry, and then after a short time, soldiers with weapons were killed.


    The appearance of this group of soldiers cut off Guo Feng''s retreat.

 Chapter 547

    In the stream of Shenfeng mountain, the original situation was that wenpin was attacked by both sides.


    Today''s situation is that the soldiers led by Wu Yi, wenpin, Guo Feng, and now Liu Xiu.


    Four soldiers, all in Shenfeng mountain streams piled up.


    This is not good news for Guo Feng.


    For the soldiers led by Wen pin, their low morale rose in an instant.


    The soldiers in the army, one by one, started to charge.


    "Reinforcements are here, kill."


    "Brothers, the state shepherd has already laid an ambush. Master Zhou Mu is invincible. Kill him


    "Jingzhou army is invincible, kill!"


    "Kill Yizhou army and capture Wu Yi alive."


    One by one, the soldiers were shouting, and the morale of the soldiers of Jingzhou army was even higher. Wen pin, in particular, took the lead and rushed to the front with his gun. He had a big gun in his hand, either sweeping or stabbing, but where the tip of the gun passed, no one could stop it.


    Wu Yi was surprised to see this scene, but it was not too unacceptable.


    After all, Liu Xiu''s army was considered in advance.


    I just didn''t expect that the other party was ahead of time.


    Wu Yi is also a fierce general on the battlefield. She knows that the more time it is, the more chaos it can''t be. Once he''s in a mess, he''ll take the initiative to retreat, and the war will really be defeated. Wu Yi looked serious and ordered: "beat the drum and order the soldiers to fight to the death. We have more people than Liu Xiu, even if we fight for more people. "


    "Dong! Dong


    On the battlefield, the drum sound is powerful and magnificent, constantly echoing.


    After hearing the drums, countless Yizhou soldiers looked back at Wu Yi''s flag. Seeing that Wu Yi''s flag was still there, they all tried their best to fight.


    Yizhou soldiers fought to the death, and Liu Xiu''s army fought quickly.


    Liu Xiu, Pang Tong and others were in the rear and did not fight. As the chief general, Chen Dao has already led 6000 elite soldiers to kill him. After this army was killed on the battlefield, Chen Dao roared: "kill!"


    "Kill


    "Kill


    The soldiers who followed Chen Dao, howling and yelling, kept fighting with Guo Feng''s soldiers with knives.


    Chen Dao''s eyes fell on Wu Yi''s handsome flag in the distance.


    Take Wu Yi and win the battle.


    Because of the special geographical environment of the mountain stream, it is not suitable for war horses to drive. All soldiers are on foot, and Chen Dao is no exception. He was carrying a big gun, and he kept charging forward.


    In Chen Dao''s eyes, only Wu Yi.


    There''s no doubt about it!


    Those who stand in my way will die!


    Chen Dao''s eyes twinkled with light. Under Liu Xiu''s command, he had been unknown for nearly two years. The reason is that he didn''t encounter war, and he didn''t have an official position, so it was difficult for him to make a name for himself.


    Now the war with Yizhou, Chen finally has.


    The opportunity is already in front of us. Naturally, Chen Dao will not give up.


    Chen Dao''s murderous spirit is overwhelming. No one can stop him.


    Under the leadership of Chen Dao, the soldiers under his command are also extremely fierce, all fighting bravely. These six thousand soldiers constantly push forward and crush the space of Yizhou army led by Guo Feng.


    Guo Feng is also highly skilled in martial arts. When he saw the Jingzhou army killed, his face was cold.


    If we don''t stop this army, the consequences will be very serious.


    With a glance, Guo Feng sees Chen Dao in a silver helmet.


    Kill the king first!


    The only way to defeat the Jingzhou army and make its offensive disintegrate is to attack with all one''s strength and kill the opponent''s chief General at one stroke in order to win.


    "Thief general, die!"


    Guo Feng directly turned the direction, carrying a Sirius gun approaching Chen Dao.


    "Kill


    Guo Feng roared, Sirius gun in the air a shake, unexpectedly is straight to Chen''s chest. The spear shot out, the gun went straight, and it was like a streamer in the air. In a moment, it was in front of Chen.


    "Stationary gun!"


    Chen Dao''s eyes did not change. As soon as he twisted his hand, the tip of the gun shook in the air and ran into the Sirius gun.


    "Pa!"


    Two big guns hit, Guo Feng eyes a coagulation.


    "Go to hell!"


    Guo Feng also used all his strength, and the Sirius gun turned into a little cold light in the air. The cold light flickered in the air, and the trace was like the head of a lone wolf.


    The tip of the gun shrouded Chen Dao, but it was hard to tell the true from the false.


    For a moment, I couldn''t find the position of the tip of the gun.


    Chen to see, sneer: "fancy, vulnerable."


    "Kick! Kick


    Chen Dao retreated two steps, and then the gun in his hand was in the air a little, also a shot, and he went out. The position and speed of this gun can be described as wonderful to the top, and the tip of the gun just aimed at the position of Chen zhixinwozi.The speed of the spear is amazing.


    "Break the army!"


    There was a whistling sound on the tip of the gun, and in a flash, it came to Guo Feng.


    "Ding!"


    The tip of the gun rubbed against the tip of the Sirius gun. In an instant, it made the Sirius gun lose its accuracy. But Chen went straight ahead, and the gun didn''t stop at all.


    Guo Feng saw that the big gun had been killed and entered his chest. He was very nervous.


    "Back up!"


    It was too late for Guo Feng to resist again. He didn''t even think about it, so he retreated. Seeing the gun point approaching, Guo Feng''s spirit has been promoted to the highest level, and he just wants to retreat quickly.


    Come on! Faster!


    Guo Feng was eager and kept retreating.


    "Hum!"


    Approaching the tip of the gun in front of him, it was a sudden acceleration. This acceleration has already approached him in an instant.


    "Down


    Guo Feng looked helpless and fell back.


    "Pa!"


    Guo Feng fell to the ground, the moment he fell, the long gun also hit down randomly. Guo Feng took advantage of the situation, a donkey rolling, to avoid the blow, and then stood up, gun stabbed to Chen.


    "Don''t think too much of yourself!"


    Chen Dao sweeps the gun in his hand and smashes Guo Feng''s Sirius gun.


    He pushed forward a step further, the gun in his hand swung up in the air, and then smashed down. The gun fell, as if it was a long stick smashing, and as if the giant pillar of Optimus fell down.


    Boom!


    Guo Feng looked at the falling gun, as if he heard the rock avalanche.


    "I''m in the way


    Guo Feng holds the Sirius gun in both hands and goes up.


    "Pa!"


    The big gun falls on the Sirius gun. Guo Feng''s hand is numb while Chen Dao''s gun is in the air. In a flash, the gun had finished storing force in the air.


    "Seven kill gun!"


    As soon as the gun turned in the air, it went up and down again.


    A light suddenly flashed in the air.


    "Poof!"


    The tip of the gun stabbed Guo Feng in the middle of the eyebrow and directly into the skull. The red blood overflowed from the brow. Chen Dao pulled out the gun, and Guo Feng fell back on the ground.


    "Kill


    Chen Dao killed Guo Feng with one shot and led the soldiers forward again.


    "General Guo has been killed. Run away!"


    "Guo Feng was killed!"


    "I can''t stop it. General Guo has been killed."


    The soldiers led by Guo Feng saw the scene of Guo Feng being killed. In an instant, the situation was out of control. Countless Yizhou soldiers fled privately and fled to the mountains on both sides.


    "Kill


    Chen Dao saw Yizhou soldiers scattered, and his face was even more smiling.


    He led the army to fight and soon broke up the Yizhou army between wenpin and him, and joined wenpin''s army.


    The army continued to charge forward. Chen Zhichong was at the front and joined Wen pin.


    Chen Dao looked at Wen pin and roared, "general Wen, Wu Yi''s flag is just ahead. We''re going to fight together. " Chen Zhi knew that he needed the help of Wen pin to break through the dense Yizhou army, so he made a direct request.


    Wenpin said, "OK, let''s join hands to kill it!"


    Two people join hands, one left and one right, just like a small team rushing forward.


    Two big guns were flashing in the air, and they kept pushing forward. After the confluence of the Jingzhou army, the fighting began. Although the number of Yizhou army is more, the momentum of fighting on the battlefield is higher.


    "The place where the banner is, is where Wu Yi is. Capture Wu Yi alive."


    "The man in the golden armor is Wu Yi. Kill him!"


    "The man wearing the golden helmet is Wu Yi. Capture Wu Yi alive."


    Suddenly, among the soldiers of Jingzhou army, there was such a cry. This voice spread in an instant, countless people yelled, countless people rushed forward, this morale, constantly forward recommendation, has begun to crush Yizhou army.


    Although the battlefield is still fighting, although the situation is not clear, but according to this momentum, Yizhou army will lose sooner or later.

 Chapter 548

    Huang Quan stood beside Wu Yi, looking at the gradually defeated army, his heart was like a knife.


    The situation is not good!


    In the heart of the yellow spring, there is such a premonition.


    At the thought of his dead wife, children and parents, Huang Quan immediately rushed to kill Liu Xiu. But now, he didn''t even see the figure of Liu Xiu, or even the general under Liu Xiu''s command. Liu Xiu just sent a few generals to clean up Wu Yi, which really disappointed him.


    Lost!


    In the heart of the yellow spring, the heart suddenly turns to ashes.


    "No, I can''t give up. If I don''t have any hope, how can I avenge my parents?"


    Huang Quan clenched his fist. He looked at Wu Yi and said, "general, I''m afraid it''s impossible to win this battle. Let''s go. Let''s go now. Let''s go back to the camp in the rear. "


    The army will fight Liu Xiu in Shenfeng mountain, so the rear camp is specially stationed.


    Once the situation is deadlocked, we can withdraw to rest.


    The army''s grain and grass are also stored in the rear and in the rear camp.


    Wu Yi is not reconciled, he is still not going to retreat. He has 30000 troops, he has enough troops, even if the soldiers under his command can not resist, but he can defeat the other side with the advantage of number.


    "Up, put the soldiers up, and kill them for me!"


    Wu Yi still did not plan to withdraw, and once again sent his troops up.


    All the soldiers went to kill in the mountain stream. It was overcrowded.


    The cries of killing and screaming are endless.


    Under the sunshine of spring, it was very comfortable. But on the battlefield in the mountain stream, the blood has already flowed and dyed the mountain stream''s landscape red.


    "Kill Wu Yi!"


    "The man in the golden armor is Wu Yi. Capture Wu Yi alive!"


    "The man wearing the golden helmet is Wu Yi. Kill Wu Yi."


    "The man under the banner is Wu Yi. Kill Wu Yi."


    At this time, the mountain stream suddenly echoed such a voice, and countless Jingzhou soldiers roared and fought. The scene was really frightening. The sound came to Wu Yi''s ears, which made Wu Yi''s mouth twitch, and her expression was very embarrassed.


    Damn it!


    These damn Jingzhou soldiers.


    When Wu Yi looked at the troops under his command, the soldiers of these troops had been losing ground.


    In particular, Wu Yi saw two Jingzhou generals killing him.


    Both of them were in armor, and both of them were armed, constantly narrowing the distance. With the distance getting closer, Wu Yi felt a murderous approaching from a distance.


    Wu YILENG could not help shivering, suddenly lost the morale of resistance.


    Wu Yi said, "can there be a way to resist in huangquan?"


    Huang Quan shook his head and said, "Liu Xiu''s army morale is too strong to stop. General, we have to stay out of the way. We retreated one after another, retreated to the camp, and resisted with the help of the fortifications of the camp. "


    "Well, just withdraw."


    Wu Yi''s expression also lost down, he did not expect to be such a retreat.


    "Withdraw!"


    Wu Yi ordered him to turn around and leave.


    The soldiers carrying the flag also followed Wu Yi and quickly withdrew.


    "Dang! Dang! Dang


    The sound of calling the Golden Army to the end resounds through the mountains of the battlefield.


    After hearing the sound, Yizhou soldiers retreated quickly and did not dare to resist any more. Since the fighting, countless soldiers have been killed and wounded on both sides, and Yizhou soldiers have suffered heavy losses. At this moment, it is like a tide to withdraw, but many soldiers have abandoned their armor.


    Defeat like a mountain!


    As soon as Wu Yi withdrew, Yizhou army collapsed completely.


    When Chen Dao and Wen pin saw it, Chen Dao ordered, "kill, kill


    Wen pin ordered: "kill, can''t let Wu Yi escape, chase!"


    They led a large army and kept killing Wu Yi''s army. The two armies, one retreated rapidly, the other kept chasing, and after they got out of the range of Shenfeng mountain, they were still fighting.


    It''s more than ten miles to the west of Shenfeng.


    This place is Wu Yi''s camp, in which the soldiers in the kitchen and the logistics soldiers responsible for carrying food are left.


    At this time, there were not even 2000 soldiers in the camp.


    The general in charge is a school captain named Zhao Yue, who is specially responsible for logistics and transportation.


    The two thousand soldiers led by Zhao Yue were all old and weak in the army, with almost no youth. After all, it''s for the soldiers to prepare meals and transport food. It doesn''t need too many young people, just the old and the weak. This is a leisurely job. Although it is difficult to make contributions, it is the safest one.


    At least, it won''t come to the camp.


    Zhao Yue stayed in the camp, wandered around, or went to see the food in the kitchen, or to see the grain piled up, and then went back to his camp to sleep.


    Anyway, nothing happened, and no one cared about him in the camp.There are only a few patrol soldiers in the camp. These patrol soldiers are not to prevent outsiders from attacking, but to patrol the camp, so as to avoid fighting and other things in the camp.


    At this point, outside the camp.


    An army came quietly.


    This army is the army led by Huang Hu.


    When the two sides fight, the flying tiger camp led by Huang Hu has already left the scope of Shenfeng mountain by taking a path from the forest, and then quickly approaches the camp in the rear.


    Around the camp, it was empty.


    In the camp, there were not many soldiers defending.


    Huang Hu was holding a drum jar and a gold hammer, and he took more than 1000 soldiers of the flying tiger camp to wait and see from afar.


    Looking around, there are not many soldiers in the camp.


    Huang Hu grinned with a smile on his face.


    Wu Yi did not expect that when the war started, an army had already taken a path to the rear camp. Yellow tiger with soldiers quietly approaching, when less than a hundred steps away from the camp, there is no shelter around the mountain vegetation.


    "Kill


    Huang Hu no longer hesitated, carrying a drum urn gold hammer to kill up.


    "Kill


    "Kill


    Shouts of killing resounded all around the mountains.


    Inside and outside the camp, there was a fierce voice.


    Zhao Yue was lying on his bed and had a good sleep when suddenly he heard the cry of killing. He a carp roll, immediately turned over to do, and then rushed out of the tent. Standing in the camp, he wanted to look out and saw a group of fierce soldiers rush in.


    "Enemy attack


    "There''s an enemy coming. Assemble."


    "Gather, gather!"


    Zhao Yue yelled. With Zhao Yue''s shouting, many soldiers in the camp rushed out. There were about three or four hundred soldiers quickly assembled, and one after another soldiers rushed out.


    Zhao Yue knew that it was a critical moment of life and death. If he could not stop it, he would die. If he could not stop it, the whole army would fail. Zhao Yue pulled out his sword at his waist and roared, "kill me, sons!"


    With an order, Zhao Yue rushed up.


    Zhao Yuedu began to charge, and the soldiers in the camp also followed.


    In a moment, Zhao Yue rushed to the gate of the camp and met the soldiers of Feihu camp led by Huang Hu.


    "Taishan hammer, kill!"


    Seeing Zhao Yue kill, Huang Hu didn''t even think about it. After he swung the golden hammer from the drum jar, he smashed it directly. A hammer crossed an arc in the air and collided with Zhao Yue''s sword.


    "Dang!"


    Violent impact, Zhao Yueru was struck by lightning.


    The sword was knocked out, and the golden hammer of the drum jar had fallen.


    "Bang!"


    The golden hammer of the drum jar hit Zhao Yue''s chest. When it went down, Zhao Yue flew out directly. When the man fell to the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood and his head tilted, and he died directly. Huang Hu''s hammer, powerful and heavy, exerted 80% of his strength, which was enough to shatter Zhao Yue''s internal organs.


    "Kill me!"


    The yellow tiger roared, and he entered the camp like a wolf.


    The Yizhou soldiers who rush out to resist are all old and weak. Where are the opponents of the fierce soldiers like the flying tiger camp. A face to face, rushed out of countless Yizhou soldiers were defeated, one by one are all constantly scattered.


    "Run away, I can''t stop it!"


    "Run


    "If you don''t run, you''ll die. Run away!"


    The soldiers of Yizhou army scattered like birds and beasts. In front of the yellow tiger and flying tiger camps, they were empty. There was no one to resist them. They all scattered.


    This scene is not suitable for the soldiers of Huang Hu and Fei Hu camp.


    Huang Hu was stunned for a moment, and immediately ordered: "quick, light a fire in the camp and burn the camp!"


    At a command, the soldiers under Huang Hu moved quickly.

 Chapter 549

    Huang Hu took the soldiers of Feihu camp to execute the order and set fire in the camp quickly.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier in the camp rushed out and came to Huang Hu.


    "What''s the matter?"


    Huang Hu looked at the soldier and asked.


    The soldier reported: "general, there is too much food in the camp. A rough estimate shows that there are at least ten thousand stones. It''s a pity that so much grain will be burned up once all of it is burned up! "


    Huang Hu slapped and flapped on the soldier''s head, and said, "you fool, what is ten thousand stone grain. The ten thousand stone grain was just the emergency grain for Wu Yi. His granary must be in the rear. If you burn it, burn it. Besides, it''s the Lord''s order. "


    "Yes


    The soldier got the order, turned around and went down to carry out the order: "the general said, the food is useless, a fire."


    Inside the camp, Mars began to appear everywhere.


    After arson, another soldier came and reported: "general, we have found a large number of bows, arrows and armor. Shall we move them all?"


    Huang Hu looked at the soldier, and his heart was full of fire.


    Why are these people so ignorant today?


    It''s just some armor and bows and arrows. It''s not very useful.


    Huang Hu roared: "I didn''t understand Lao Tzu''s order. Burn it. Give me a fire. After we burn the camp, we have to go back to rob and kill Wu Yi. How can we take our armor and bow together? "


    "Yes


    When the soldiers got the order, they went down again.


    More than a thousand soldiers scurried around the camp and set fire everywhere.


    Soon, the fire spread in the camp, and Huang Hu with the soldiers of the flying tiger camp withdrew from the camp. With the spread of the fire, we can see countless people rushing out of the camp.


    These people are old and weak soldiers left in the camp. They were all forced out by the fire.


    Huang Hu didn''t cover up the old and weak, it was meaningless.


    "Hoo! Hoo


    Fire burning, in the spring breeze, you can hear the sound of the fire.


    Countless smoke and dust began to fall from the air.


    Huang Hu looked at the falling smoke, as well as the clouds of smoke, his face has a bright smile. Just imagine the camp of Wu Yi''s 30000 people, in which there are countless sheets, bedding, even tents, as well as countless food and equipment, all of which are ignited. The fire is burning, and it is impossible to restrain it.


    "Withdraw, let''s go back to fight against Wu Yi."


    Huang Hu no longer hesitated and quickly withdrew with his soldiers.


    The flying tiger camp disappeared on the official road, but the fire in the camp was still burning and could not be put out at all.


    Thick smoke billowed in the sky.


    This situation can be seen clearly within tens of miles.


    Wu Yi was leading the soldiers to retreat. Suddenly, one of the soldiers in the army yelled, "look, there''s smoke in the direction of the camp." This voice was quite subtle in the shouting and killing, and it was even drowned in an instant.


    But the people around the soldiers suddenly found out.


    "The direction of the camp is really on fire. Is the camp on fire?"


    "Liu Xiu is so cunning. Maybe Liu Xiu has sent troops to attack the camp."


    "Ah, there are no soldiers in our camp. If we want to resist, we can''t. After that, our camp must have been attacked by Liu Xiu. "


    News spread like a plague.


    Not long after, Wu Yi also saw this situation, but he denied: "it can''t be that the camp was attacked. We didn''t see the Jingzhou army in the past."


    Wu Yi''s order was intended to stabilize the morale of the army, but the effect was very small.


    The fleeing soldiers were all in a panic.


    Wen pin and Chen Dao, who were chasing in the rear, also saw this situation. Wen pin immediately yelled, "Wu Yi, your granary is on fire! Go back to the fire


    Chen Dao then yelled, "Wu Yi, your granary is on fire! Go back to the fire


    Around the soldiers, also followed the shout.


    "Wu Yi, your granary is on fire! Go back to the fire


    "Wu Yi, your granary is on fire! Go back to the fire


    "Wu Yi, your granary is on fire! Go back to the fire


    The soldiers in the army followed suit one after another, shouting loudly one by one, with a bright smile on their face. They were looking at the development of this matter in a joking way.


    The soldiers of Jingzhou Army thought that it was very possible.


    No, it was arranged by the governor of the state. Countless soldiers yelled loudly, and their voices echoed in the air, reaching the ears of Yizhou soldiers.


    In the rear of the army, Liu Xiu, Pang Tong and Deng Zhan were on their way.


    The three led the royal guards to follow and pay close attention to the development of the situation.After a fire broke out in the air that day, Liu Xiu knew that the overall situation of the war had been decided. No matter what happened to Wu Yi, she was defeated. Not only the granary failed, but also on the way of Wu Yi''s retreat, shamoko and Huang Hu were waiting.


    Although Wu Yi denied that the camp was on fire, she acquiesced.


    It''s just that I didn''t show it on my face.


    "Retreat, retreat!"


    Wu Yi constantly retreats with her soldiers, intending to get rid of the pursuit of the rear. Huang Quan followed Wu Yi. When he saw the fire in the direction of the granary, he felt even more sad.


    Heaven does not protect Liu Zhang!


    God doesn''t protect him!


    Huang Quan knew that the battle had been defeated, and it depended on whether Wu Yi could escape.


    The retreat road is getting closer and closer to the camp.


    And the front of a pass position, that is the only way to the camp. All of a sudden, a group of soldiers were killed. The leader was shamoko. He was holding the bone of Tribulus terrestris in his hand and roared: "shamoko is here. Those who fall will not be killed, and those who resist will not be forgiven!"


    The cold words and the fierce look of the wuximan soldiers under shamoko''s command made countless Yizhou soldiers feel frightened and want to escape.


    Wu Yi saw the army blocking the way in the rear, and ordered: "rush over!"


    At the command, Wu Yi''s soldiers rushed forward.


    The black soldiers rushed to the pass, but the soldiers under shamoko''s command took out their bows and arrows. A feather arrow aimed at the front, and arched without aiming.


    "Whew! Whew


    Dense as rain, feather arrows fell into the crowd of Yizhou soldiers.


    In a flash, the soldiers who rushed to the front fell down one after another.


    A round of arrow rain down, is already heavy casualties.


    However, the soldiers of Yizhou army are still rushing forward, and the distance between the two sides is constantly narrowing. From about 30 Zhang in the beginning, it gradually shortened to 20 Zhang, and finally it was less than 10 Zhang.


    In this area, countless Yizhou soldiers died under the bow and arrow.


    After the distance was so close, the Tribulus terrestris in shamoko''s hand pointed to the front and said, "sons, kill with me!" All the soldiers gave up their bows and arrows and rushed up with their knives.


    "Kill


    "Kill


    Wuximan soldiers cry out, these soldiers are wilder and braver than Jingzhou soldiers.


    A face to face, shamoko into the Yizhou soldiers.


    The soldiers under his command also defeated Yizhou soldiers in front of him. Wu Yi, who was protected by the soldiers, was burning with anxiety.


    "It''s Wu Yi wearing a golden helmet. Take Wu Yi."


    "Wu Jiayi killed her."


    "Take Wu Yi and don''t let her run away."


    The soldiers under shamoke yelled, and shamoke also looked at Wu Yi''s direction and quickly killed Wu Yi. The cry of shamoko and his soldiers chilled Wu Yi''s heart. At this time, Wu Yi felt that her golden armor was too conspicuous. Wearing it was not only a burden, but also an attraction to the enemy.


    Without hesitation, Wu Yi took off her golden helmet and put it on Huang Quan. Then she took off her golden armor and let Huang Quan put it on again. She said, "magistrate Huang, if you want to avenge your wife, children and parents, I must live. You put it on to attract the enemy''s attention. "


    The corner of Huang Quan''s mouth twitches. He wants to refuse very much, but seeing Wu Yi''s firm look and looking at the faces of the fierce generals around Wu Yi, he has to agree.


    Wu Yi was very satisfied with the soldier''s reply, and then continued to rush forward under the protection of his own guards.


    Finally, Wu Yi rushed to shamoko''s stop and fled with her soldiers. However, Huang Quan did not escape, but was caught by shamoko.

 Chapter 550

    Shamoko laughed and said, "OK, OK, this time, I finally got ahead. I won Wu Yi first. The credit this time is from Laozi. "


    "Congratulations, general!"


    "The general is mighty!"


    "The general who captured Wu Yi must be rewarded by the prefectural herdsman."


    every soldier flattered him. These soldiers were all savages under shamoko''s command, and they had great respect for shamoko. And they all know that the higher the status of shamoko, the better their future.


    "I''m not Wu Yi!"


    Suddenly, the yellow spring opened its mouth. The soldiers escorting huangquan heard the words and quickly brought huangquan to shamoko.


    Shamoko''s eyes widened and his face was filled with disappointment.


    Yellow spring!


    It turned out to be this kid.


    "Damn it, I''ve been cheated."


    Shamoko growled and roared: "give me a good view of the yellow spring. The rest of us will follow me to kill Wu Yi."


    In an instant, shamoko turned around and went to cover up a group of people who had fled before. At this moment, it was recalled in shamoko''s mind that just now a group of soldiers escorted a general to leave. At that time, shamoko''s mind was on the yellow spring in golden armor. He didn''t stop him at all. Unexpectedly, the other party took the opportunity to leave.


    Damn it!


    Shamoko thought that Huang Hu was in the back. If Huang Hu robbed him, it would be bad.


    "Kill me, chase me!"


    Shamoko gave a loud order, and the army moved quickly.


    At this time, Sha Moke constantly wields the iron briers in his hand and kills Yizhou soldiers, trying to catch up with Wu Yi who fled before. However, there are a lot of people on the battlefield, and Yizhou soldiers are everywhere. These Youzhou soldiers are in a mess, and they can''t see where Wu Yi has gone.


    "Asshole, asshole!"


    When shamoko was furious and couldn''t find Wu Yi, he could only lead the soldiers to kill Yizhou soldiers. With shamoko''s cover up, Yizhou soldiers suffered heavy losses again.


    Countless people gave up their weapons and surrendered.


    There are only a few soldiers left to resist, but there are also many of them.


    Wu Yi fled with her soldiers and managed to avoid shamoko. She was also relieved. He looked back and couldn''t see the yellow spring. He thought to himself, "yellow spring, yellow spring, I will take revenge for you. You can go safely."


    "Retreat, retreat!"


    Wu Yi retreated with his soldiers. At this time, he felt at ease.


    Finally, I dodged.


    It''s just that the 30000 troops brought in this time are completely scrapped.


    Wu Yi thought about how to explain things to Liu Zhang, but now she couldn''t care so much. She had to escape first, and then try to find a way. Besides, the losers to Liu Xiu are not one or two. Deng Xian and Liu Ruo were among them before, but now he is one more, and he is one or two.


    The team retreated rapidly, getting closer and closer to the camp.


    And in the sky, there is even dust.


    Just as Wu Yi relaxed, a roar came from the front: "Huang Hu is here, Wu Yi villain, surrender quickly, or you will be killed."


    On the official road, Huang Hu has killed out with his soldiers.


    There are more than 1000 soldiers in the flying tiger camp.


    Looking at the people surrounded by soldiers, Huang Hu understood Wu Yi''s identity without being introduced. With two golden hammers in his hands, he rushed forward quickly, and roared: "those who fall will not be killed!"


    The soldiers of the flying tiger camp were also killed.


    Wu Yi saw Huang Hu and shivered.


    Who is Huang Hu?


    This guy is the first tiger general under Liu Xiu''s command. He is invincible with a pair of golden hammers. Wu Yi thought it would be all right this time, but she didn''t expect to kill Huang Hu.


    "It''s my death


    Wu Yi''s face became extremely embarrassed.


    "Up, hold the yellow tiger!"


    "Give me a hold on Huang Hu. I''ll be rewarded when I go back."


    Wu Yi issued two orders in succession, but the soldiers under his command hesitated. But under Wu Yi''s command, he finally rushed up.


    Huang Hu snorted coldly, and the golden hammer of the drum jar in his hand waved out.


    "Cape hammer, kill!"


    The shrill cheers resounded in the official way.


    The cloaker hammer slammed on the rushing Yizhou soldiers. In a flash, one by one Yizhou soldiers flew out, fell on the ground and died of vomiting blood. These soldiers were not the enemy of Huang Hu. They were killed face to face.


    The soldiers of the flying tiger camp were forced to fight.


    This scene shocked Yizhou soldiers.


    Huang Hu rushed forward with the golden hammer of the drum jar and roared again: "kill!"


    The roar of the tiger resounds on the battlefield.The sound seemed to be a natural shock, which made Yizhou soldiers dare not come forward.


    "I surrender, don''t kill me!"


    "I surrender, too. I''m willing to surrender. Don''t kill me."


    "Surrender, and I surrender."


    The soldiers around Wu Yi knelt down to surrender. One by one, they threw away their weapons and were terrified. Although they are Wu Yi''s bodyguards, they are not enough to see Huang Hu. Rush up to fight, it''s just like a yellow tiger swatting a fly to death.


    Seeing this, Huang Hu grinned.


    At this time, Huang Hu is approaching Wu Yi, especially when the soldiers who rush up are killed by Huang Hu or by the soldiers of the flying tiger camp. Wu Yi is even more lonely.


    Wu Yi looked around, and all the soldiers around turned to him.


    There is no one left to guard.


    "Alas..."


    Wu Yi knew that there was no way out. He looked up at Huang Hu, knelt down and said, "I''m willing to surrender!"


    This kneeling, Wu Yi is already a prisoner.


    Wu Yi''s army of this way is equivalent to the total annihilation of the army.


    Huang Hu looked at Wu Yi who surrendered. He laughed and ordered, "come on, Wu Yi, take it for me."


    The soldiers rushed up and quickly tied Wu Yi.


    "Wu Yi child, where to escape!"


    Suddenly, the sonorous voice of shamoko came up from behind. After seeing Wu Yi''s escape, Sha Mo Ke chased her all the way and finally was about to catch up with her. He was also happy. But when he saw the front, he happened to see Wu Yi helped by the soldiers.


    In a flash, shamocco was desperate.


    Huang Hu took it again.


    Shamoke''s Tribulus terrestris was sweeping in the air, and soon rushed to Huang Hu''s face, and said in a loud voice: "tiger, are you picking up rags or something, in this case, you have picked up Wu Yi."


    Huang Hu raised his chin and said with a smile, "Lao Sha, in terms of geographical location, your position is better. You know, you rob Wu Yi first, and then it''s me. You can''t rely on me if you don''t catch anyone yourself


    Shamoke''s mouth twitched. He was so hateful that he missed Wu Yi.


    Wu Yi is escorted by soldiers. When she hears the conversation between Huang Hu and Sha Moke, her face is hot. Unexpectedly, she has become a prisoner. She is really ashamed. Wu Yi bowed her head and was unwilling to face these people.


    The more he is, the more people will not let him go.


    Shamoko came to Wu Yi, reached out his hand, raised Wu Yi''s chin and said, "you are a dog thief, you are so cunning!"


    As the voice fell, shamoko slapped and fanned out.


    "Pa!"


    A loud slap sounded in the air.


    Being beaten, Wu Yi stares at shamoko angrily and yells, "Why are you beating me?"


    There was a fire in shamoko''s heart and he couldn''t get out. He roared, "I like it. What can you do for me? You are a prisoner. How arrogant are you? "


    Wu Yi''s mouth twitched, and with the burning pain on her face, she stopped talking.


    Huang Hu didn''t stop him or blame him. He said with a smile, "Lao Sha, I''ve caught you. Now, it''s useless for you to get angry again. Why don''t you kill more Yizhou soldiers and capture more people? "


    "Well, you''ll have to go to hell."


    Shamoko turned around and took his soldiers to Yizhou.


    Along the way, countless Yizhou soldiers fled, and many Yizhou soldiers were blocked and needed to surrender. Huang Hu asked the soldiers to escort Wu Yi, and then he also took the soldiers back. Along the way, he constantly recruited Yizhou soldiers.


    After meeting Wen pin and Chen Dao, they led the army to clean up the battlefield.


    Wen pin and Chen Dao learned that Huang Hu had caught Wu Yi, and their expressions were sour. They were both quite sorry, but there was no way. Who let Huang Hu catch Wu Yi?

 Chapter 551

    On the west side of Shenfeng, the army encamped.


    In the camp, soldiers came and went in and out constantly, either injured or escorted Yizhou soldiers to surrender. The whole camp is busy.


    In this war, Wu Yi''s 30000 troops were defeated.


    Many people fled, but countless soldiers were caught.


    All these are in constant statistics.


    In the big account of the Chinese army.


    Huang Hu takes Wu Yi, and Sha Moke takes Huang Quan and comes back.


    Wen pin and Chen Dao are standing on one side. They are also important participants in the war and have made great contributions. Unfortunately, the two big men have taken away their biggest achievements.


    Huang Hu laughs: "Lord, Wu Yi wants to escape, but he doesn''t escape from the eyes of the end general. He''s very cunning. Do you want to kill him or stay? If you want to kill him, you''ll have to drag him down and cut him down. "


    Wu Yi shuddered when she heard the speech.


    He doesn''t want to die!


    Before Liu Xiu could speak, Wu Yi took the initiative to say, "the general is willing to surrender and serve Liu Jingzhou."


    At the moment, Wu Yi doesn''t care about other things. She just wants to save her life.


    As long as you''re alive, there''s still a chance.


    Huang Quan despised Wu Yi''s actions. Huang Quan said, "general Wu Yi, you are the general of Yizhou shepherd. How can you surrender easily? If you surrender, have you ever thought about your reputation


    "Shut up


    Wu Yi stares at Huang Quan, and directly stares at Huang Quan.


    Almost dead, how can you manage so much?


    Wu Yi looked at Liu Xiu with a solemn expression and said, "Liu Jingzhou, I have followed Liu Yan into Yizhou for more than ten years. Today, I have a great reputation in Chengdu and have a good relationship with many generals of Yizhou. Therefore, if Liu Jingzhou stays in the next life, I can help Liu Jingzhou reduce losses. "


    At the moment, Wu Yi has a flattering look on her face.


    In order to cling to his own life, he has given up.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "general Wu Yi is very good. I like people like you."


    "Thank you, Liu Jingzhou!"


    Wu Yi was relieved and her expression relaxed.


    With a smile in his mouth, Liu Xiu said, "I will not kill you, but let you go back. Just, you bring a word to Liu Zhang. "


    "Ah


    Wu Yi''s eyes widened and her face was full of incredible looks.


    Release him!


    Liu Xiu let him go back.


    Liu Xiu expression is solemn, way: "how, you don''t want?"


    "Yes, I will!"


    Where would Wu Yi refuse? She just didn''t believe it. At the end of Jingzhou, Liu Jingzhou asked him to take a deep breath


    Wu Yi''s mouth sounds good, but her mind turns. She thinks, "once he runs away, he will return to Chengdu. His mouth is on his face. What he wants to say and what he wants to say is his business."


    Liu Xiu, however, seemed to listen to Wu Yi''s words and said, "very good!"


    Wu Yi quickly said, "what will Liu Jingzhou take to the Lord?"


    Liu Xiu said: "go back and tell Liu Zhang to wash his neck and wait. I will take off his head soon."


    Wu Yilian said hastily, "yes, I will certainly convey it."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Huang Quan and said, "magistrate Huang, we meet again."


    Huang Quan angrily opened his eyes and roared, "Liu Xiu, it''s destiny that falls into your hands again today. Kill or cut as you please. If I frown, I''m not a hero. "


    Liu Xiu joked: "Huang county magistrate is a scholar. How can he become a vulgar man?"


    "There''s no need to say more nonsense," Huang said


    Liu Xiu shook his head and sighed: "it''s really hard to play."


    Huang Quan said coldly, "Liu Xiu, although you win today, someone will take your life one day. As the leader of the party, you are even the old and the weak. You killed my wife and children. You and I are enemies. If you don''t kill me today, as long as I have breath, I will take your dog''s life. "


    The thought that his parents, wife and children died in Liu Xiu''s hands made Huang Quan feel heartbroken.


    Parents haven''t enjoyed their family yet!


    The wife has not yet enjoyed happiness!


    Children have not grown up!


    However, all this was destroyed by Liu Xiu.


    Huang Quan stared at Liu Xiu and said coldly, "if you don''t kill me, I will swear not to be a human being. Liu Xiu, even if I die, I will not let you go as a ghost. I want to eat your meat and drink your blood. "


    Vicious words come from the mouth of the yellow spring.


    Wu Yi was watching, but she was happy. She said it was really interesting.


    Liu Xiu''s expression was calm and he said, "Huang Quan, who said your parents, wife and children died?"


    Boom!Huang Quan was stunned when he heard the words, and his brain exploded. He lost his focus in front of his eyes. He was lost in the white. He swallowed and asked, "what did you say?"


    Liu xiudao: "who said your parents, wife and children were killed?"


    Huang Quan coldly way: "this matter son in Qu endure county all spread, how can have false."


    Liu Xiu leaned forward slightly with a banter look in his eyes and said, "it''s all fake. Your parents, wife and children are still in the county."


    When Huang Quan heard the speech, his expression gradually cooled down.


    In his eyes, he looked thoughtful.


    A trace of bad premonition, in the heart of the yellow spring breeding out.


    Huang Quan suddenly thought of the jailer in his mind and said, "what''s the matter with the jailer in the cell?"


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s my official arrangement."


    After hearing this, Huang Quan turned pale and said, "the ambush of Shenfeng mountain?"


    Liu Xiu said: "it''s also a trap set by my official. If you don''t intentionally spread the news that your family was killed, will you follow the gaoler''s advice and leave Quren county to find Wu Yi? Will Wu Yi believe you? "


    "The whole thing is my official''s plan."


    "Since you''ve been in jail, the plan has been launched."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "if you escape from quren County, everything will naturally develop downward. Otherwise, do you really think you can leave quren County easily after you escape from prison? "


    "Hiss! Hiss


    Huang Quan couldn''t help but take a deep breath and looked frightened.


    How is that possible?


    Liu Xiu was the leader of the war. It was terrible.


    "Gudong!"


    Wu Yi swallowed her saliva. Her face was stiff and her body was a little at a loss. Liu Xiu looked at him as if he was a devil.


    Although Wu Yi was defeated in the battle with Liu Xiu, she didn''t think Liu Xiu was so powerful.


    But now after listening, I know how naive I am.


    It turned out that he was in the trap at the beginning, and fell into Liu Xiu''s calculation at the beginning.


    Wu Yi looked at Huang Quan and hated him. If this guy hadn''t come to find him, Liu Xiu would not have calculated the battle, would not have been so embarrassed, and would not have been captured.


    Liu Xiu said, "magistrate Huang, now I give you a choice. Whether you choose to surrender to our official and fight for the lives of your parents, wife and children, or to be loyal to Liu Zhang and let our official kill your parents, wife and children. "


    "Their lives are in your hands."


    "It''s up to you to choose between life and death."


    Liu Xiu laughed. He wanted to see what kind of decision Huang Quan would make after he lost and recovered.


    It''s even more difficult to hear the words in the yellow spring.


    On one side is Liu Zhang, which is loyalty; on the other side is family, which is filial piety and responsibility.


    Huang Quan said in a loud voice: "Liu Xiu, you are a devil."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "have you ever seen such a demon like me? I didn''t kill your family. I have never killed innocent people. If Liu Zhang had not attacked Jingzhou in those days, there would have been nothing like today. Yesterday''s cause, today''s result, cause and effect cycle. Well, don''t talk too much nonsense. It''s your turn to make a choice. "


    Huang Quan took a deep breath. He had no choice. He didn''t want to lose his family again. Huang Quan looked at Liu Xiu and said, "I am willing to surrender and surrender."


    "Well, he who knows the current affairs is a hero!"


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "you helped me defeat Wu Yi and make great achievements. This matter will be widely publicized in the army."


    On hearing this, the corner of his mouth twitched gently: "you are really unscrupulous!"


    If he publicized Wu Yi''s defeat, Liu Zhang would think that Huang Quan was an undercover. Under such circumstances, Liu Zhang could no longer accept Huang Quan, or even kill Huang Quan.


    If Huang Quan wanted to betray Liu Xiu again, it would be impossible.

 Chapter 552

    It''s a simple trick, but it''s very useful.


    At least, the yellow spring can''t be cracked.


    Especially when his family is in Liu Xiu''s hands, Huang Quan can no longer betray Liu Xiu.


    Wu Yi''s eyes were filled with wonder. In his opinion, Liu Xiu is just scheming. Together with Liu Xiu, he may not know when he will be sold.


    All of a sudden, Wu Yi thought, is there a conspiracy for Liu Xiu to return to Chengdu?


    But just as Liu Xiu just let Huang Quan submit, Huang Quan had to submit. He himself is the same. He also wants to go back to Chengdu, which is a matter of fighting and suffering. Liu Xiugen never forced him.


    Even if he would meet Liu Xiu''s conspiracy when he went back, he had to go back.


    Wu Yi took a deep breath and suppressed her doubts.


    When Liu Xiu solved the problem of huangquan, he knew that the problem of Quren county had been solved.


    Huangquan has certain ability. It is enough to be in charge of Quren county.


    Although Huang Quan has some complaints now, as long as Liu Xiu solves Liu Zhang''s problem, Huang Quan will naturally submit to him, and there is no alternative.


    Liu Xiu looked at Wu Yi and said, "come


    Deng Zhan came in and saluted.


    Liu Xiu said, "prepare a war horse and some dry food to send general Wu Yi away."


    "No!"


    Deng zhande ordered him to turn around and get ready.


    Wu Yi was overjoyed and said, "don''t worry, my Lord. I''m sure I''ll take the words to you."


    Liu Xiu said, "if only you could remember it!"


    Wu Yi clapped her chest and said, "remember, I will remember."


    After a while, Deng Zhan came back and left the camp with Wu Yi.


    Pang Tong looked at Wu Yi''s back and said, "Lord, I''m afraid that Wu Yi''s going back this time will be more dangerous than good." Pang Tong made a guess about Liu Xiu''s arrangement. By Liu Xiu''s means, how can Wu Yi be allowed to go back? The release of prisoners is not Liu Xiu''s style.


    Liu Xiu said, "Shiyuan, guess what I''m going to do?"


    Huang Quan stood at the bottom of the room, silently mourning for Wu Yi. It was calculated. Huang Quan was very careful in his heart. He thought, don''t provoke Liu Xiu again, otherwise he would be calculated.


    Pang Tong was silent for a long time, and said: "the Lord let Wu Yi go back, the first is to kill people with a knife, the second is to alienate monarchs and ministers."


    "Oh, tell me more about it!"


    Liu Xiu''s mouth rose. Pang Tong really guessed.


    Pang Tong said: "first of all, Wu Yi was already guilty when he was defeated. Liu Zhang would be very angry when he brought back the words of his Lord. In a rage, I''m afraid I will kill Wu Yi. Second, Wu Yi was killed, and the Yizhou army was defeated. The Yizhou officials were in a panic. Naturally, it was difficult to unite with Liu Zhang. "


    Liu Xiu said, "yes, not all of them."


    "First, what if Wu Yi doesn''t bring the words to Liu Zhang''s ear? So in order to let Liu Zhang kill Wu Yi, I will send people to Chengdu to spread rumors that Wu Yi surrendered to my official at first, but my official didn''t like it, so I put him back to harm Liu Zhang. No matter how Wu Yi explained it, she would jump into the Yellow River


    "Second, after Liu Zhang killed Wu Yi, our official will send another person to spread rumors that Wu Yi did not surrender and was determined not to surrender. In order to let Liu Zhang kill Wu Yi, our official deliberately alienated Liu Zhang and Wu Yi in this way. Liu Zhang regretted it, and Yizhou officials would feel chilly in their hearts. They would be centrifugal. "


    Liu Xiu''s eyes sparkled with confidence and calm.


    In order to make people in Chengdu panic, Liu Xiu had to do so to further destroy the other party''s resistance.


    The more Huang Quan listens, the colder he feels.


    Liu Xiu is too overcast!


    No wonder such a person can rise step by step. It''s really a thief.


    Huang Quan arched his hand and said, "my Lord, I''m tired of my humble job. I want to go down and have a rest first."


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu big sleeve a brush, let the soldiers take the spring down.


    Pang Tong looked at Huang Quan''s back and said, "Lord, Huang Quan is scared by you. He''s pale now, and I''m afraid he''ll never dare to be right with you again. "


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s right to beat him."


    Wenpin said: "Lord, we have captured a lot of soldiers in this war. According to the general''s rough estimate, it should be more than 10000. What should we do with these captured soldiers? "


    Now they are marching and fighting, and wenpin has enough troops.


    With so many prisoners, the speed must be affected.


    In particular, it is not cost-effective to keep more than 10000 prisoners in the army and consume a lot of food every day. If these ambushes are thrown to the rear, it will be even more unstable.


    Therefore, it is very difficult to deal with these ambushes.


    Liu Xiu calm expression, said: "about this group of ambush, give them a certain amount of dry food, and then all released."


    "AhWenpin was surprised. He didn''t expect Liu Xiuhui to make such a decision.


    It''s a pity that more than 10000 prisoners have been released!


    Wenpin said: "Lord, there are more than ten thousand people."


    Liu Xiu said slowly, "there are four purposes for releasing more than 10000 prisoners."


    "The first is to relieve our own pressure, because there is no need for soldiers and it is difficult to deal with them."


    "Second, the prisoners will fight with us. When they know what we are capable of, they will make a lot of propaganda when they go back. These soldiers are used to spread news."


    "Third, to give food is to buy people''s hearts. Ordinary people treat prisoners, or kill them, or don''t give them food. I give them food and let them go. It''s to win their hearts and let them remember my good deeds."


    "Fourth, prepare for the next war. Once they go back, they should be recruited to rush into the army. When we meet these soldiers in the next battle, do they still have the courage to fight? "


    Liu Xiu''s arrangement of prisoners was also quite clear.


    This is the most appropriate arrangement at present.


    After hearing this, wenpin was also convinced by Liu Xiu''s analysis and said, "since the Lord has made the decision, the final general will carry it out."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "go down!"


    Wen pin, Chen Dao, Huang Hu and others stepped down. Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and asked, "what''s the situation with Zhang Lu and Zhao Yun?"


    Deng Zhan said: "Zhang Lu''s march is very slow. So far, he has not achieved much. General Zhao Yun has captured Fuling county and is now actively fighting. "


    "Well!"


    Liu Xiu nodded and was relieved.


    As far as the current situation is concerned, it is still quite favorable.


    Wenpin arranged in the army to gather all the captured soldiers together.


    Then, wenpin announced Liu Xiu''s arrangement, let all the prisoners leave, and distributed some dry food. After this decision was arranged, all the prisoners were extremely surprised.


    No one expected that Liu Xiu would release them.


    For a moment, in the eyes of the prisoners, they all felt that Liu Xiu was a little silly and even released the prisoners. However, Liu Xiu''s impression was not bad when he thought that he was still distributing grain.


    In addition, wenpin also announced that the injured prisoners would be released after treatment.


    When the news spread, countless prisoners cheered.


    Then, the Jingzhou army began to take action and began to distribute dry food to the prisoners of Yizhou soldiers, leaving them to leave. Waves of captives left the camp and left quickly. When these soldiers got dry food, they could at least go to Dangqu county and then go back.


    In three days, all the prisoners left.


    All the battlefields around Shenfeng mountain are over.


    On this day, Liu Xiu just arranged a group of soldiers to escort Huang Quan back to quren County, and sent someone to convey an order to Jia Xu, asking him and Xu Shu to arrange an army to be stationed in Dangqu County, and then led the army to join him.


    The army led by Liu Xiu continued to advance and the next Dangqu County approached.


    However, Liu Xiu''s speed was not fast. He was waiting for the army led by Jia Xu and Xu Shu in the rear. After the two armies converged, the whole party picked up the speed and headed for Dangqu county.

 Chapter 553

    Zhixian county is located in the northwest of Fuling county.


    There is a river Yanjiang in Fuling county. From Fuling county to Zhixian County, you only need to follow the Yanjiang River to reach Zhixian County, and then Yanjiang river flows into the Yangtze River.


    This city is an important waterway.


    Zhao Yun and Lu Su led their troops to the north of Fuling and arrived in Zhixian county.


    This battle can be said to be a battle of subduing people without fighting. As soon as the army arrived, the magistrate of Zhixian County surrendered.


    After his foothold in Zhixian County, Zhao Yun did not attack Jiangzhou County, the seat of Bajun County, to the West for the time being. Instead, he divided his troops along the Yangtze River to the northeast and won Pingdu County and Linjiang county.


    These two counties are located on the Bank of the Yangtze River.


    The army could reach along the river, so Zhao Yun first divided his forces and captured the two places. Because Liu Xiu was in Yufu County, quren County, Linjiang county and hepingdu County in the north, it was normal for him not to resist.


    In this way, the east of Bajun was captured by Liu Xiu and Zhao Yun.


    The battle has begun to advance to the middle of Bajun.


    Zhixian, a military camp outside the city.


    Although the army controlled the county seat of Zhixian County, Zhao Yun and Lu Su camped outside the city for convenience.


    Chinese army big account!


    Lu Su took the information in his hand, looked at Zhao Yun, and said in a deep voice: "general, during the attack on Pingdu County and Linjiang County, the news about the prefect of Bajun has come back. His name is Yan Yan, the prefect of Bajun county. He can be regarded as a model of being old and strong. Although he is over sixty years old, he is extremely brave. "


    Zhao Yun nodded and said, "what''s Yan Yan''s character?"


    Lu Su said: "Yan Yan has a strong character, but he is also intelligent and brave."


    After a pause, Lu Su said: "in addition to Yan Yan, there is another news. Chengdu sent Li Yan as Yan Yan''s military adviser. According to the news from Fazheng, Li Yan is headstrong and self righteous. When he arrived in Jiangzhou, he met the tough Yan Yan, and the two sides were prone to infighting. This news is from Fazheng. "


    Zhao Yun smell speech, way: "since be so, that can make use of."


    After a pause, Zhao Yun said, "how does the military adviser plan this?"


    Lu Su said with a smile: "what I''m considering is that I''m not in a hurry for the time being. Li Yangang is headstrong and self righteous. In this way, he may suggest Yan Yan to send troops, and the other party may take the initiative to come to Zhixian. During this period of time, we also need to sort out the situation of Zhixian, Fuling, Linjiang and hepingdu counties, so as to connect these four counties into one


    "Yes


    Zhao Yun nodded and agreed with Lu Su''s suggestion.


    ¡­¡­


    Jiangzhou, the government.


    Yan Yan sat directly above, with a serious expression.


    The front sent back the news that Zhixian fell, Yan Yan''s heart can be said to be extremely angry. In addition, news of the collapse of Linjiang county and Pingdu County came one after another, and Yan Yan was very anxious.


    However, he did not act rashly.


    The reason is that Yan Yan has not yet found out the situation of the other party.


    Both Zhao Yun''s news and Lu Su''s news are being inquired. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles. When Yan Yan marched and fought, what he valued was planning before moving.


    But Yan Yan also has pressure, bearing the pressure from Li Yan.


    Li Yan sat on the first seat on his left, his expression was serious, and he said: "I have been in Jiangzhou County for some time. But these days, you don''t send troops, and even sit back and watch Zhao Yun and others seize Linjiang county and other places. It''s really wrong. If we don''t send troops, the other side will fight to Jiangzhou. "


    Li Yan had a great hope of coming to Bajun this time.


    Wu Yi''s ability is mediocre, but Li Yan doesn''t like it. He thinks that Wu Yi will be defeated if he tries to resist Liu Xiu. Therefore, he has to win all the way and make great achievements in front of Liu Zhang, so that Liu Zhang can see his ability.


    But Yan Yan didn''t send troops and avoided fighting, which made Li Yan mad.


    Yan Yan said: "Mr. Li, it''s not that I don''t send troops, but that I haven''t figured out the situation of Zhao Yun yet. Moreover, we should not care about the gains and losses of a city or a place in this war. "


    "Nonsense!"


    Li Yan cold face, said: "do not care about the power of a city, this has lost so many counties, you do not care. Yan Yan, are you going to surrender to Liu Xiu or fight for the Lord? "


    Yan Yan''s face suddenly changed when he heard the speech.


    Anger spread all over his face. He stood up and said: "Mr. Li, please be careful."


    Li Yan refused to give up and said, "my military adviser is telling the truth. You are afraid of fighting in this war. When you see Zhixian county and Linjiang County fall into Zhao Yun''s hands, what do you want to do?"


    For Yan Yan, Li Yan can''t help it any more.


    This old man is as timid as a mouse. He is also the prefect of Bajun. It is a dereliction of duty.


    Yan Yan''s eyes flickered with anger and said: "Mr. Li, you are only a military adviser. You have only the right to suggest. You have no right to interfere in how I fight. I have my own plan for this war. ""Ha ha ha..."


    When Li Yan heard the speech, he couldn''t help laughing loudly.


    In the laughter, there is more irony.


    After Li Yan laughed, he was very disappointed and said: "thanks to my Lord, I let you be the prefect of Bajun. I didn''t expect that you were so timid and afraid of Jingzhou army. It''s a joke that you can resist the enemy. "


    Yan Yan was unhappy and said, "I have my own plan for how to resist."


    Li Yan didn''t give up. He and Yan Yan were already at the tip of a needle to Mai Mang and said, "make up your mind? According to my military adviser, I''m afraid you are determined to surrender to Zhao Yun and submit to Liu Xiu. At the beginning, the magistrate of Yufu county was like this. Fuling county also surrendered directly. In my opinion, your Yan Yan is no exception. "


    "Sonorous!"


    Yan Yan pulled out his sword, pointed at Li Yan and said, "Li Jun Shi, be careful!"


    Li Yan raised his head, just like a fighter, said in a loud voice: "you have the courage to pull out the blade to aim at your own people, why don''t you have the courage to pull out the blade to fight with Zhao Yun?"


    In the tone, it''s very disdainful.


    Li Yan felt that Yan Yan ignored the war and failed to live up to the esteem of Liu Zhang. However, Yan Yan thinks that the time for fighting is not ripe. To fight without knowing the other side is tantamount to suicidal.


    Yan Yan once again said, "Mr. Li, I repeat that I am loyal to my Lord."


    "Who knows?"


    Li Yan shrugged, but saw his hand into the cuff, and then took out a token.


    This token is engraved with the word "Zhang".


    "Yan Yan, listen to the order!"


    Li Yan cold face, directly issued the order.


    Yan Yan saw the token, cold for a moment, because the token in Li Yan''s hand is a token given by Liu Zhang. Holding this token is like Liu Zhang''s personal visit.


    In fact, this is the Shangfang sword that Li Yan invited to Liu Zhang when he left Chengdu.


    Before Li Yan came, he worried that Yan Yan would not cooperate.


    So, we have been prepared.


    If the contradiction between the two sides can be reconciled, Li Yan will not take out a token, but Yan Yan is afraid not to fight, it is a shame. In desperation, Li Yan could only take out Liu Zhang''s token.


    Li Yan once again said, "Yan Yan, don''t you listen to the order?"


    "I will obey the orders in my humble position!"


    Yan Yan sighed and knelt down on one knee.


    The corners of Li Yan''s mouth curved slightly, and a trace of complacency showed on his face. He raised his head and said in a loud voice: "this token was given by the Lord to our military division for convenience. If necessary, you can take over the army with a token. "


    Li Yan''s position was revealed by his strong words.


    Yan Yan kneels on one knee and shakes his head in his heart.


    However, Li Yan enjoyed this feeling and said, "our military division orders you to mobilize Jiangzhou army immediately and prepare to go to Zhixian County by boat to stop Zhao Yun and fight with Zhao Yun."


    Li Yan said: "this..."


    At this time, Yan Yan was still unwilling to fight immediately, especially in Zhixian county.


    Li Yan suddenly said: "Yan Yan, do you want to disobey the order?"


    "I dare not!"


    Yan Yan shook his head.


    Li Yan''s tone slightly calmed, said: "since I dare not disobey the order, I will immediately mobilize the army and prepare to fight. How can we not fight when all the enemies have been killed in Bajun


    "Yes


    Yan Yan stood up, and immediately left the government, and then to mobilize the army.


    Li Yan looked at Yan Yan''s back, sneered twice, and murmured: "I''m old, and even timid. Fortunately, my military division is in charge of the overall situation, otherwise I don''t know what kind of situation you will make."


    Li Yan also went down, ready to leave Jiangzhou county with the army.

 Chapter 554

    Yan Yan personally led 20000 elite people to Zhixian by water.


    The news spread quickly.


    When the news reached Zhixian County, Zhao Yun directly invited Lu Su to the camp.


    There was a faint smile on Zhao Yun''s face. He said with a straight face: "commander, as expected, Li Yan urged Yan Yan Yan to join the army when he arrived in Jiangzhou county. Now Yan Yan leads 20000 troops to kill, and will soon arrive in Zhixian county. Most importantly, according to the news, Li Yan took out the token given by Liu Zhang and forced Yan Yan to enter the army. "


    Lu Su stroked his beard and said, "so Yan Yan and Li Yan are at odds."


    When Zhao Yun heard the string song, he knew his elegance. After listening to Lu Su''s words, he understood Lu Su''s meaning: "the meaning of military adviser is to further alienate the relationship between the two people."


    "Yes


    Lu Su nodded, serious expression: "strict face, strict guard, rich experience. It''s not easy to defeat Yan Yan, so we can only start from the relationship between Li Yan and Yan Yan. Especially when Li Yan had the token given by Liu Zhang, he forced Yan Yan to work better. "


    Zhao Yun said, "what should we do?"


    "Show weakness!"


    Lu Su didn''t even think about it and gave a direct reply.


    Zhao Yun said: "how to do it?"


    Lu Su said: "next, we do this..."


    Immediately, Lu Su gave a general plan. After hearing this, Zhao Yun deduced the plan proposed by Lu Su, and then took a rest of the whole plan. After a full half-hour discussion, they decided on the strategy.


    Lu Su also said: "the general plan and framework are so set, but this is a confrontation between the two armies, and the plan can''t keep up with the changes. Once there is a change, just make a temporary adjustment. "


    "Well!"


    Zhao Yun nodded, and the two reached a consensus.


    ¡­¡­


    On the broad river, warships sailed fast.


    These warships were carrying 20000 elite soldiers under Yan Yan''s command.


    On the deck of the flagship, Li Yan and Yan Yan leaned against the side of the boat, looking at the sparkling river, silent. At this time, it''s spring day, sunny, warm sunshine on the river, shining on the body, is more relaxed and happy.


    Yan Yan took a look at Li Yan and said, "Mr. Li, Zhao Yun is not simple, and Lu Su is more than ordinary. When we arrive in Zhixian County, we must be careful and plan before we move. "


    Yan Yan leads the army. He is good at defense and has enough patience like a cheetah, because Yan Yan believes that when the two armies are in a stalemate, there will always be a flaw in one side. As long as the other side has a flaw, he will give a fatal blow.


    Therefore, Yan Yan hopes to play steadily.


    These words in Li Yan''s ears, but Yan Yan is timid.


    Li Yan chin slightly up, said: "Yan Taishou, how to fight this war, our military division has its own plan. Although you are the prefect of Bajun County, our army division is under the command of the main attack. You can follow our army division''s arrangement. "


    "Alas..."


    Yan Yan listened to Li Yan and sighed.


    Li Yan heard Yan Yan sigh tone, the heart is not happy.


    "Hum!"


    Li Yan snorted and went to the cabin. He was really ashamed to be brave. I don''t know how such a timid person acted as the prefect of a county?


    "Woo! Woo


    All of a sudden, the sound of the horn came from the river.


    As soon as Li Yan stepped into the cabin with one foot, he suddenly heard the horn. He turned to the deck in front of him and looked out. In front of the broad river, there have been boats and boats.


    In the rear of the boat and Zou Ge, there are also large-scale building boats.


    "Enemy attack, stand by!"


    Li Yan saw the enemy appear, immediately issued an order.


    All the Yizhou soldiers on the building ship were on guard, carefully.


    Li Yan stared at the river and Zou Ge in front of him and murmured: "I expected that this road would not be so smooth. I didn''t expect that Zhao Yun really sent soldiers to attack. Well, I can''t help myself. "


    Yan Yan looks solemn and ready.


    At this time, the front of the boat and go Ge is to the Bank of the river, revealing the rear of the building.


    The two building ships were running side by side and coming fast.


    The building ships of this era are called "building ships" because of their huge decks and buildings, their height and width, and their appearance like a building.


    Because the building ship is too huge, it can attack from a long distance or make progress.


    However, in ancient times, there were no shells or long-range lethal weapons, so most of the fighting on water was based on archery or ship collision, and then climbing to fight on the other side''s ship.


    The only drawback is that the building ships are too large and too high, the ability to fight against the wind and waves is poor, and the center of gravity is unstable. In most cases, they are the main force in inland water battles.When Li Yan saw the other party''s building ship rushing up, he knew that the other party was going to crash.


    He gave the order, flag shaking, see two boats quickly up, and each other collision.


    "Boom!"


    The collision of two building ships set off waves on the river.


    The impact of the building, but also constantly shaking.


    In particular, after the collision between the two building ships, the distance narrowed, and the soldiers on the Jingzhou building ship quickly took out and set up on the two ships, and then killed them with weapons.


    "Kill


    "Kill


    There was no end to shouting and killing. One by one, the soldiers went to the Yizhou building and began to fight.


    In addition, the soldiers on both sides of the boat and on the boat also began to attack quickly, either with bows and arrows to kill the enemy, or began to climb the boat, boarded each other''s boat to fight.


    The fighting on the surface of the river is much less resourceful.


    Especially when there are not many ships, it is difficult to fight, so fighting is more important.


    Jingzhou soldiers constantly fighting, gradually occupied the advantage.


    After Li Yan saw this, he quickly mobilized two building ships to come forward, and then ordered his soldiers to start boarding the former building ships to crush the soldiers of Jingzhou army.


    There were not many Jingzhou troops in this war, and even Zhao Yun did not appear.


    After Li Yan constantly mobilized soldiers to kill and kill, the soldiers in Jingzhou soon fell into a state of decline.


    "Dang! Dang


    Suddenly, the sound of gongs resounded across the river.


    This voice is calling Zhao Yun''s soldiers to retreat.


    After the soldiers got the order, they didn''t love to fight any more, and returned to their own building ships cleanly. At the same time, the flexible boats on both sides of the building ship and Zou Ge took over with bows and arrows, quickly getting rid of Yizhou army''s building ships.


    Under the sunshine, Jingzhou army''s building ship quickly disappeared in sight.


    On the surface of the river, calm gradually returned.


    Li Yan waited for the soldiers to count the battlefield. Not long after that, some soldiers reported that 223 people had been lost in the battle. Such a loss is a drop in the bucket for Li Yan''s army, which is not enough to be considered.


    However, this battle made Li Yan feel that the Jingzhou army was not worried, and even more, he thought that Yan Yan was timid and he was too conservative.


    Li Yan looked at Yan Yan and said faintly: "the first world war just now was attacked by Zhao Yun. Although the other side''s forces are not many, it can be seen from a glimpse that the Jingzhou army is not a wolf, tiger, or leopard. It is not a monster. It can be defeated. "


    Yan Yan heard the voice outside the words and said, "I didn''t say that Jingzhou army can''t be defeated."


    Li Yan said: "the gesture you give to our military division is that you think the Jingzhou army can''t be defeated."


    Yan Yan said, "Mr. Li misunderstood me."


    Li Yan shook his head and said: "it doesn''t matter whether there is a misunderstanding or not. What matters is how the next battle will be fought and how the abbot will behave. Our military division is looking forward to the next performance of Marshal Yan. I hope we won''t be disappointed. "


    Yan Yan heard the speech, but he said nothing.


    He has been in charge of Bajun for many years, and he is also an old minister of two generations in Yizhou. He was humiliated by Li Yan.


    Yan Yan does not speak, but Li Yan is a big sleeve, back to the cabin.


    Yan Yan stood alone on the deck, blowing the river wind, looking at the river, and could not help sighing. The generals in the army see that Yan Yan is oppressed and bullied, so they come to comfort him, but Yan Yan refuses and asks the generals to go back to rest.


    At this time Yan Yan is still patient, as long as he can defeat Zhao Yun, everything is easy to say.


    Everything is for Yizhou.


    But Yan Yan''s heart is worried, Zhao Yun suddenly sent two boats to fight for a moment, and then withdrew, there will be nothing fishy about it? But he thought about it and didn''t figure it out. He didn''t understand each other''s arrangement.

 Chapter 555

    In addition to the small episode of fighting on the river, Li Yan''s army has never been attacked again.


    All the way, it was smooth.


    The army successfully arrived in Zhixian County, and then logged in from the ferry.


    After landing, the army began to approach Zhixian steadily.


    There is still no obstruction along the way.


    The more so, the more inappropriate Yan Yan''s heart is, because he always feels that the other party has a conspiracy, which is not the style of Zhao Yun and Lu su. When Zhao Yun and Lu Su attacked Fuling County, they captured Fuling county with the force of thunder.


    The war was protracted and weird.


    Yan Yan told Li Yan what he thought, and then he was sneered at by Li Yan.


    Li Yan''s reason is very simple. Zhao Yun is waiting for him in Zhixian County, where he will fight a decisive battle.


    As the army approached Zhixian County, it met the Jingzhou army stationed in the west of Zhixian county. Li Yan camped ten li away from each other, then stopped to let the soldiers rest.


    Along the way, the soldiers under his command were already tired.


    So Li Yan plans to let his soldiers rest and fight with Zhao Yun again.


    Li Yan and Yan Yan are seated in the grand account of the Chinese army.


    Li Yan looked at Yan Yan and said, "Marshal Yan, the army has just arrived. Zhao Yun may lead his troops to sneak attack. There is no need to take precautions in the camp."


    At the moment, Li Yan has already seized Yan Yan''s right.


    He is a military strategist and should be an assistant to Yan Yan. However, with the token given by Liu Zhang, it is Jiu zhanque nest that pushes Yan Yan into the second place. He becomes the principal of the army.


    Yan Yan nodded and said, "I will arrange it."


    "Well, you are old enough to have a good rest and prepare for war tomorrow."


    Li Yan can''t wait to fight for a long time and wants to prove his ability.


    Yan Yan stood up and went out.


    "Dong! Dong! "


    All of a sudden, the war drums began to ring.


    The powerful drums, deep and loud, broke the peace of the camp. The sound set off waves, so that all the soldiers in the camp began to gather quickly.


    Yan Yan quickly rushed out, and Li Yan also followed out.


    Coming to the camp, the army has assembled.


    When Li Yan came to the gate of the camp, he saw a large army array a hundred paces away.


    Zhao Yun led the army in person. He was wearing a silver helmet and armor, holding a silver gun with a dragon''s gall in his hand. He rode his horse and stood up like the God of war. Behind Zhao Yun, there are three thousand soldiers in a neat array, all of them standing in solemnity.


    "Da! Dada


    Zhao Yun drove his horse forward slowly and came 50 steps away from the camp.


    Yan Yiyun points at the camp and says, "how dare Zhao Longliang fight here?"


    "How dare you fight?"


    Behind the 3000 soldiers, then orderly victory cry.


    "How dare you fight?"


    "How dare you fight?"


    The powerful voice wave after wave, the voice is more and more exciting and magnificent.


    This momentum can be called majestic.


    The spirit and spirit of the soldiers are more rebellious and fierce. At first sight, they are the elite of the battlefield.


    Many of Zhao Yun''s soldiers are barbarians of wuximan. These people joined the soldiers, because they used to run through the mountains and forests, and they had good physical fitness, and they were even more rebellious and fierce.


    After being reorganized into an army, the combat effectiveness of this army is quite strong.


    At the moment, facing the soldiers of Yizhou army, one by one, they were all like fighting chicken blood, with high morale.


    Zhao Yun''s eyes fell on the camp with a smile on his lips.


    How will the other side deal with this war?


    In fact, Zhao Yun''s initiative to fight this time was also a good plan to discuss with Lu su. His every move has profound meaning, which was discussed with Lu Su before, and everything is preparation for defeating Yizhou army.


    "Your Highness, the last general, please fight."


    Suddenly, in the army, a general rushed out.


    The general''s name is Wu Lan. He is the general under Liu Zhang and has been under Yan Yan.


    Wu Lan is quite convinced of Yan Yan, not only because of his martial arts, but also because of his conduct and ability to lead the army. Li Yan has been suppressing Yan Yan, Wu Lan''s heart is also a breath, no place to vent.


    Zhao Yun came to challenge, just can let him kill.


    Kill Zhao Yun and the war will be solved.


    Li Yan took the initiative to fight against Wu Lan and said with a smile, "Wu Lan, as long as you can kill Zhao Yun, then Zhao Yun''s army will surely be defeated. As long as you win, I will ask for credit for you in front of my Lord. "


    Wu Lan glanced at Li Yan and said, "Mo Jiang is a subordinate of the prefect. If you want to ask for help, it''s also the prefect. What''s more, the general can''t stand Zhao Yun''s abusing the governor. "In a word, Li Yan''s face suddenly changed.


    His eyes were cold and angry.


    Give face, not face!


    He gave Wu Lan face, but he didn''t accept it. Damn it.


    Li Yan expression turns cold, said: "Zhao Yun is outside the camp, you go."


    With a touch of worry in Yan Yan''s eyes, he said: "Wu Lan, Zhao Yun is not a nobody. His martial arts is very good. You must be careful when you go to fight. "


    "Don''t worry, Taishou. I''ll take Zhao Yun at the end of the day."


    Wu Lan gave a boxing salute, then carried a big gun, turned over on the horse and killed him.


    "Da! Dada


    With the sound of horses'' hooves, Wu Lan came out like a lightning bolt.


    When the horse stopped ten feet away from Zhao Yun, Wu Lan roared, "Zhao Yun, child, this will be Wu Lan. Today will surely take your life. Today next year will be your memorial day. "


    The arrogant words show Wu Lan''s confidence.


    Zhao Yun straddles to sit in immediately, light way: "exceed one''s capacity!"


    "Kill


    Wu Lan carrying a gun to kill, Zhao Yunting gun to meet, two people Dangdang Dang constantly fight.


    After fighting for more than ten moves, Wu Lan suddenly turned his horse around and retreated. That posture is completely unable to resist Zhao Yun, began to want to return to the camp. Zhao Yun looks in the eye, the corners of his mouth smile, straight up to shoot up.


    Zhao Yun a catch-up, is retreating Wu Lan is in the heart of joy.


    Zhao Yun is in the trap!


    Wu Lan''s move is a comeback.


    Seeing the distance between the two sides getting closer, when the distance was less than three Zhang, Wu Lan''s legs clamped the horse''s belly, and the horse stopped. He turned around and stabbed out the gun in his hand.


    "Come back, kill!"


    Wu Lan drinks low, the big gun is like a streamer, stabbing Zhao Yun''s heart quickly.


    This move is urgent and quick.


    However, Zhao Yun''s expression is calm and self-contained. As soon as he shakes his gun, he bumps into it. Just listen to the sound of Dang, Wu Lan''s rifle is directly broken, and Zhao Yun''s gentian silver gun shakes again in the air.


    The tip of the gun turned into a few flowers in the air and stabbed Wu Lan quickly.


    "Seven probe snake, kill!"


    The tip of the gun was smart, and it immediately approached Wu Lan''s body.


    "Puchi!"


    The tip of the gun ran through Wu Lan''s heart quickly, and a shot into the heart broke the heart.


    "Get up!"


    Zhao Yun roared, his hands forced, and the silver gun directly lifted Wu Lan up, then flung him out. Wu Lan''s body passed in the air and plummeted to the ground.


    After landing, there is no breath.


    With one move, he killed Wu Lan.


    Zhao Yun looked at Wu Lan in the end, sneered and murmured, "if you want to kill you, one move is enough! Just now it was just a delay. Let''s show it to Li Yan. "


    Immediately, Zhao Yun pointed his gun at the camp.


    "How dare you fight, old man?"


    Zhao Yun''s voice was loud, and his gesture was contemptuous and provocative.


    "How dare you fight, old man?"


    "How dare you fight, old man?"


    The three thousand soldiers behind Zhao Yun were not afraid of big things, but also roared with them. The old man''s three words reverberated in the air, and the stern face in the camp clenched his fist and looked angry.


    Wu Lan is his favorite general. He was killed by Zhao Yun. It''s really hateful.


    Up to now, he has to fight.


    Li Yan saw it in his eyes and said coldly, "Wu Lan is really a waste. If he had known that, he should not have been allowed to fight. He was defeated and killed. On the contrary, it weakened the morale of the army. Yan Yan, Zhao Yun is so challenging. If you don''t fight, when will you wait? "


    "Come on, the Taishou''s Tiangang sword."


    Yan Yan clenched his fist and gave the order directly.


    Not long after, some soldiers came carrying a long knife nearly ten feet long. The shape of this long Dao is similar to that of Qinglong Yanyue Dao. Yan Yan took the knife, turned over and killed him.

 Chapter 556

    "Zhao Yun, take your life."


    Yan Yan single hand knife, straddle on horseback, rapid sprint.


    "Da! Dada


    There is no stagnation at all.


    The distance between the two sides is also getting closer and closer.


    Ten feet!


    Eight feet!


    Five feet!


    When the distance between the two sides is less than five Zhang, Yan Yan has swung the Tiangang sword in his hand. Under the sunshine, the blade turned in the air, and a dazzling light suddenly flickered.


    "Kill


    The blade cuts down and goes straight to Zhao Yun.


    This knife, like thunder, is powerful and fast as lightning.


    Zhao Yun''s legs clamped the belly of the horse, but he didn''t fight with Yan Yan, so he drove the horse to avoid the knife.


    Yan Yan killed out of the camp. The horse borrowed manpower and the man borrowed horse power. It can be said that he has accumulated enough strength. Such a knife can be said to be Yan Yan''s most powerful one. Zhao Yun in such circumstances, and Yan Yan hard to fight a knife, it is the most uneconomic thing, only a fool will do so.


    After avoiding Yan Yan''s knife, Zhao Yun''s Dragon gall bright silver gun shakes and stabs out directly.


    "A hundred birds make the best of the Phoenix!"


    The tip of the gun passed in the air, as if outlining birds one by one. These birds flew up to Yan Yan.


    The tip of the gun is flexible, but there is a hidden kill.


    Yan Yan''s Tiangang sword swung up and slashed it out.


    "Ding! Ding! "


    The tip of the gun and the edge of the knife collide, making a continuous brittle sound.


    The two men who fought each other were staggering.


    On the surface, Zhao Yun rushed a long distance to stabilize his horse, while Yan Yan just rushed a long distance to adjust. In the eyes of countless spectators, Yan Yan is a little better.


    Zhao Yun roared: "Yan Yan, I know you are honest and not old. You are skilled in sabre, and you are good at marching and array. You can lead the soldiers to fight in the battlefield."


    "People like you are really inferior under Liu Zhang."


    "I also heard that Liu Zhang specially sent you a supervisor. I don''t believe you."


    Zhao Yun looked sincere and said in a loud voice: "Yan Yan, following such a dazzled Lord like Liu Zhang, it''s a bright pearl in secret. If you surrender to Liu Jingzhou, you will be guaranteed that you are at least the prefect of a county and will not be suspected. "


    The voice of this remark was very loud, and it also spread to the camp.


    After hearing this, Li Yan was even more angry.


    Damn it!


    Damn Zhao Yun!


    Li Yan''s heart resents Zhao Yun, and there is a trace of anger to Yan Yan.


    Yan Yan didn''t realize that there was something wrong. This kind of surrender before the battle is also a common thing.


    Yan Yan''s Tiangang sword was lying in front of him, staring at Zhao Yun, and said in a loud voice: "Zhao Yun, I would have been loyal to Liu Yizhou because of Liu Yan''s kindness. Can you move me with a few words. On the contrary, it''s you Zhao Yun, who sent troops to attack Bajun innocently. If you do more injustice, you will die. If you go astray and lead your troops out of Bajun, I can spare your life. Otherwise, I will kill you. "


    Zhao Yun is not in a hurry to start. He shakes his head and sighs, saying: "you are casting pearls behind your back. Why should you bury your talent?"


    Yan Yan said: "what is the Pearl cast in secret? What is Mingzhu? In my official''s eyes, Liu Yizhou is the master of the Ming Dynasty. "


    Zhao Yun said, "Liu Zhang is the master of Ming Dynasty. Why didn''t he send someone to supervise the army?"


    Yan Yan snorted and said, "I''m not talented enough, so I need a military commander."


    But Zhao Yun tut tut two, said: "nothing is useful, is a scholar, Li Yan is something, but a flatterer.". If Ben captured Li Yan alive, he would be beaten to death. On the contrary, general, you should be harmed by Li Yan now. You should understand the consequences of someone''s blind command. "


    Provocative words, constantly from Zhao Yun mouth.


    Yan Yan has been explaining, constantly showing his attitude.


    But in the camp, Li Yan is very angry. His eyes are burning. If the anger in his eyes is enough to burn people to death, I''m afraid Zhao Yun will be burned to ashes.


    Li Yan said angrily, "Yan Yan, what are you doing? Don''t you kill Zhao Yun quickly?"


    After hearing this, Zhao Yun said, "I''ve heard what you said just now. How dare a little military strategist call you by his name? And I want to order you. Ha ha ha, governor Yan, you''re so old. What a pity. "


    Yan Yan stares at Zhao Yun, and suddenly, his heart claps.


    It''s a trick!


    Yan Yan just recovered. Zhao Yun''s goal is to stimulate Li Yan on purpose!


    What a cunning Zhao Yun!


    Yan Yan''s Tiangang sword swung and roared: "Zhao Yun, you are really a thief. You have ulterior motives." He rode his horse and killed Zhao Yun. Tiangang knife chopped repeatedly in the air, while Zhao Yun fought back with a gun.It''s a pleasure for two people to fight each other.


    In particular, Zhao Yun''s moves, every move and Yan Yan fight, as if to be killed by Yan Yan.


    But just at the critical moment, Zhao Yun dodged.


    Or Zhao Yun waved his gun to block it.


    In the eyes of outsiders, that scene seems to be Yan Yan playing Zhao Yun, even Yan Yan waterproof. But Yan Yan, who is still fighting, is very similar. He only felt that he met a strong opponent, who was all over his eyes, so he could not start, and it was difficult to defeat Zhao Yun.


    There are nearly a hundred moves when they fight each other.


    Zhao Yun in the hands of the gentian bright silver gun a shake, the gun rapid stab out, a gun to kill all over, forced Yan Yan to wave a knife to resist.


    At this instant, Zhao Yun drove his horse out.


    Zhao Yun quickly returned to the front of the army and roared: "Yan Yan, I''m exhausted. I''ll fight you again after Ben has recovered his strength. "


    "Withdraw!"


    At the command of Zhao Yun, he led the soldiers to retreat.


    Yan Yan is also sweating profusely. After all, he is old, because he has been practicing martial arts all the time, and he has been sitting on the war horse. Only with the help of the strength of the war horse can he support until now. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and rode back to the camp.


    Li Yan''s face was livid, and he scolded: "Yan Yan, what should you do?"


    Yan Yan was stunned by this question.


    Just now, he tried his best to fight with Zhao Yun. It was not easy for Zhao Yun to retreat. He was relieved. How did he return to the camp and be accused?


    Damn Zhao Yun!


    It must have been caused by Zhao Yun''s provocation.


    Yan Yan scolds Zhao Yun for being shameless in his heart. It''s false that Zhao Yun comes to him to fight, and it''s clear that he''s trying to sow dissension.


    But in the face of Li Yan, Yan Yan also turned over and dismounted, threw his Tiangang sword to the soldiers, and said in a deep voice, "Li Junshi, I''m trying my best to fight Zhao Yun. What''s the crime?"


    "I''m not ashamed to fight hard!"


    Li Yan gave a cold smile and said, "did you really try your best just now?"


    "Of course!"


    Yan Yan didn''t want to answer directly.


    In the short time of fighting with Zhao Yun just now, although Yan Yan seemed to have the upper hand, he felt that Zhao Yun seemed to be converging. He didn''t show his best martial arts because of his gun skill.


    Li Yan said coldly, "ask the soldiers around you. We''ve all seen you fighting with Zhao Yun. In that case, it is clear that you are playing with Zhao Yun, and you have a chance to kill Zhao Yun, but you deliberately give him a chance. "


    After a pause, Li Yan said, "don''t you try your best?"


    Yan Yan''s expression cooled down as soon as he heard this.


    Even if he was made of clay figurines, he was angry, especially Li Yan. He had been forbearing for a while, but the more he gave in, the more arrogant Li Yan was.


    Yan Yan didn''t plan to give in. He said coldly, "Mr. Li, please respect yourself."


    Li Yan said, "how can we respect ourselves?"


    Yan Yan said: "I''m loyal to my Lord. I''ve tried my best to resist Zhao Yun, but I''ve never had any idea. On the contrary, it''s you who aim at me everywhere. What do you want? I don''t want to entangle with you in such a matter. Don''t take this as an example, otherwise don''t blame me for being impolite. "


    Big sleeve a brush, Yan Yan turned and left.


    The generals around also withdrew one after another.


    Li Yan stood in the same place with a fiery expression on his face, as if he had been slapped in the face. Li Yan stares at Yan Yan''s back as he leaves, and his expression becomes colder and colder.


    Yan Yan, we''ll see!


    As soon as Li Yan''s big sleeve brushed, he turned around and went to his camp.

 Chapter 557

    Jingzhou army, camp!


    After Zhao Yun came back with his soldiers, he went back to the camp.


    Lu Su followed in and said, "general, what''s the result of today''s war?"


    After Zhao Yun sat down, Gulu Gulu drank a bowl of water, his face was in high spirits, and he said: "sergeant, you don''t know Li Yan''s expression at that time, it''s really a face full of anger. As Fazheng said, this man is indeed headstrong and self righteous, and most importantly, he is narrow-minded. At that time, I just teased him a little, and Li Yan got angry and got angry with Yan Yan on the spot. "


    Lu Su laughed and said, "very good. It seems that the first step of provocation is successful."


    Zhao Yun added: "when I fight Yan Yan, I deliberately create a more serious situation. It''s estimated that now Li Yan thinks that Yan Yan let go of water and deliberately didn''t kill me. "


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Lu Su laughed and said, "now, we''ll wait for Li Yan''s reaction."


    Zhao Yun said: "yes, now watch the change."


    The expressions on the two faces were quite relaxed. It would be more difficult to fight without Li Yan. But with Li Yan''s help, it was a lot easier.


    ¡­¡­


    Yizhou army, camp.


    Li Yan''s camp, he took out a letter, intended to write a letter back to Chengdu.


    Just thinking about it, he doesn''t have a real handle now.


    Moreover, Li Yan must have a reasonable reason to punish Yan Yan. After hesitating for a long time, Li Yan finally died and wrote the letter. Then he thought about it carefully.


    There was a look of conspiracy in his eyes.


    "Well, let''s take our time!"


    Li Yan took a deep breath and ordered, "come on!"


    At the command, a soldier came in and bowed.


    Li Yan said, "go and ask the governor."


    "Yes


    When the soldiers went to convey the order, Li Yan thought about how to take the initiative. After a short time, the soldier came back with an embarrassed look on his face and said, "military strategist, governor Yan said that he has military affairs to deal with and can''t come for the time being."


    "Son of a bitch!"


    Li Yan yelled, raised his hand and slapped it on the desk.


    "Pa!"


    The voice was loud, but Li Yan''s hand was so painful that he drew back and kept swinging.


    Soldiers see in the eyes, want to smile, dare not smile, can only hold back.


    "Go down!"


    Li Yan waved his hand and let the soldiers retreat.


    At the moment, Li Yan''s eyes were gloomy and his expression was gloomy. His face was almost crowded out of the water. He clenched his fist and murmured to himself, "well, you''re so strict. You really want to fight with our military division. But if you don''t come, I''ll find you. "


    Li Yan stood up and went out to Yan Yan''s camp.


    Coming to the outside of the camp, Li Yan didn''t let anyone inform him, so he went straight in.


    Standing in the barracks, Li Yan said with a smile: "governor Yan!"


    Yan Yan has enough patience for Li Yan. He has decided not to break the river with Li Yan''s well water and simply ignore Li Yan. But I didn''t expect Li Yan to stick it like a cow skin plaster.


    Yan Yan said, "what advice does Mr. Li have?"


    Li Yan stood in the tent, folded his hands, bowed his hands and said, "I''m here to apologize to the governor."


    Yan Yan Leng next, Li Yan to apologize?


    What kind of wind is this blowing?


    However, Yan Yan shook his head and said, "Li Jun Shi is serious."


    Li Yan sat down and then said, "I met Zhao Yun today. After I went back, I thought about it carefully. I was really impatient. But whether it''s me or Yan Taishou, it''s all for the Lord and Yizhou. "


    "The dispute between you and me is not about personal enmity, but about state affairs."


    "Our military commander asked the governor Yan to fight in order to defeat Zhao Yun urgently. Today, both Liu Xiu''s army and Zhao Yun''s army have made great achievements and had a bad influence. If you don''t defeat Zhao Yun, you will not be able to eliminate the resentment. "


    Li Yanyi, as I understand you, went on: "Marshal Yan is cautious in his use of troops. It''s also a very reasonable means to plan before moving. It''s also for the overall interests of Yizhou to prevent the situation from getting worse. "


    At this point, the expression on Li Yan''s face was sincere.


    Yan Yan listen to, in the heart vigilant at the same time, but also some gratification, think Li Yan finally figured out.


    After all, both are for the big picture.


    Li Yan stood up again, folded his hands, arched his hand to Yan Yan and said, "please accept the next worship


    Yan Yan said: "Li Jun Shi can''t!"


    After a while, Yan Yan stood up from the seat and immediately came to Li Yan''s body. He held Li Yan with both hands so as not to let him stand and salute. He said, "I don''t have to be like this. I have something wrong today. Please forgive me."The corner of Li Yan''s mouth started, and a radian flashed away.


    Li Yan solemnly said, "please sit down, marshal Yan. This time our military division is here, that''s why we discussed the war strategy with Marshal Yan."


    Yan Yan returned to his seat and said, "please speak, military adviser."


    Li Yan sat down with a calm expression and said slowly, "this is what our military division thinks about the strategy to deal with Zhao Yun. Since the martial arts of the Yan Taishou are superior to Zhao Yun, tomorrow the general will lead his army to the battle, and then his own army will hold the battle and meet Zhao Yun''s army for a while. "


    "When the two armies fight, if we have an advantage, we will naturally work hard to defeat Zhao Yun."


    "If we don''t have an advantage, we''re going to retreat."


    Li Yan said: "the purpose of the trial is to try Zhao Yun''s elite soldiers in Chengdu. If the other side is stronger, we will take defensive measures for the time being, play steadily and wait for the opportunity. Marshal Yan, this is also in line with your military strategy. What do you think? "


    Yan Yan looks at Li Yan, there is always a feeling in her heart.


    But Yan Yan couldn''t pick out the thorn.


    First, Li Yan took the initiative to throw out the olive branch, willing to live in peace with him.


    Second, Li Yan also took his advice.


    Under these two conditions, if he quarrels with Li Yan again, he will be shameless. Yan Yan took a deep breath and said, "it''s OK. Go and try Zhao Yun''s troops tomorrow."


    "Good!"


    Li Yan began to smile with a look of expectation.


    "Prefect Yan, have a good rest. We''ll meet Zhao Yun tomorrow."


    After Li Yan left, Yan Yan was sitting in the tent, thinking about the meaning of Li Yan''s words. Although Li Yan took the initiative to ask for peace and apologize, he always felt insecure in his heart.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a general came in.


    His name is Lei Tong, who is also the Minister of Liu Zhang and works under Yan Yan.


    Yan Yan said, "Lei Tong, what''s the matter?"


    Wu Yunquan said, "kill brother Zhao Lei. This matter must not be easily settled. The last general is here to ask for a fight and to attack Zhao Yun. "


    Yan Yan said, "do you think so in the army?"


    "Yes


    There was anger in Lei Tong''s eyes and he said, "Zhao Yun killed my brother. Both the general and his brothers in the army are filled with righteous indignation and intend to avenge Wu Lan. "


    Yan Yan said: "I know, you go down to prepare, tomorrow morning, I will personally lead the army to attack Zhao Yun, for Wu Lan blood hatred."


    "My Lord is wise!"


    Lei Tong''s face, showing a smile.


    As long as you fight with Zhao Yun''s army, he and his soldiers will have a chance to revenge.


    Yan Yan waved his hand to let Lei Tong back down, but Lei Tong wanted to say nothing.


    Yan Yan said, "what else


    Lei Tong replied: "my Lord, although Li Yan is a military adviser, he has no right to tell the army what to do. You are the chief General of the army. He is nothing. It''s too much for him to treat you like this. My Lord, why don''t you take someone to control him, so that he won''t talk all the time. "


    "Son of a bitch!"


    Yan Yan was cold and said in a deep voice, "Li Jun Shi is a man sent by the Lord. If you dare to make any rash moves, please be careful that I will strip your skin."


    Lei Tong laughed and said, "Sir, we all follow your orders. It''s just uncomfortable to see that Li Yan doesn''t respect you. "


    Yan Yan''s expression eased down, and said: "the fight between my official and Li Junshi is also for the Lord and Yizhou, not for the fight of righteousness, so I don''t have to put it in my heart."


    "Yes, the end will understand."


    The thunder copper ha ha smile, then embrace boxing to retreat.


    Yan Yan looks at the figure of Lei Tong leaving, and there is a trace of warmth in his eyes.

 Chapter 558

    Early in the morning, Jingzhou military camp.


    Zhao Yun got up early to wash his clothes, and then practiced martial arts with a silver gun. Morning exercise is a necessary lesson for Zhao Yun. As the saying goes, if he doesn''t practice for three days, he has formed a habit of practicing martial arts every day.


    After morning exercise, Zhao Yuncai had breakfast.


    Just back in the camp, Lu Su came in a hurry.


    Seeing Lu Su''s appearance, Zhao Yun asked, "Zijing, what''s the matter?"


    Lu Su said with a smile: "sure enough, Yan Yan led the army. Sentinel sent back the news, Yan Yan exhausted the army, is approaching our camp. I expected yesterday''s performance had an effect, so Yan Yan came. Behind this, there should be Li Yan''s push. Li Yan wants to be headstrong. Seeing that the general is defeated by Yan Yan, he will definitely do it. So now, it''s time to implement the second step plan. "


    Zhao Yun said with a smile: "the master''s calculation."


    Lu Su said: "there''s no magic calculation. It''s all the information given by Fazheng. There''s enough information for me to infer."


    After a brief discussion, the two men had already mobilized the army to prepare.


    After everything is ready, Zhao Yun has come to the front camp.


    "Dong! Dong


    All of a sudden, the sound of fighting drums came from the distant horizon.


    The voice is dull and high pitched. As time goes on, the voice becomes more and more intense.


    It wasn''t long before an army appeared on the official road. This army is the Yizhou army led by Yan Yan. Yan Yan leads the army to kill, and Li Yan goes with him.


    Li Yanqi on the horse, wearing a gold helmet and armor, is extremely heroic.


    On the contrary, Yan Yan''s armor was the most common and inconspicuous, but he sat on the horse with his own bearing.


    Yizhou army advanced rapidly and soon came outside the camp.


    One hundred and fifty paces away from the camp, Yizhou army line up.


    Li Yan looked at Yan Yan and nodded slightly. He saw that Yan Yan had rushed out with Tiangang sword.


    Yan Yan horizontal knife immediately, Lang voice: "Zhao Yun children, Yan Yan here, dare to fight?" Although Yan Yan is over fifty years old, he is full of spirit and vigor. He is not like a man in his fifties, but like a man in his forties.


    "Da! Dada


    A sound of horse''s hooves rang out, and Zhao Yun, carrying a bright silver gun of dragon gall, drove his horse out of the camp.


    Zhao Yun said with a smile: "today, marshal Yan is bringing his troops to the battle. It seems that he must be planning to have a fight. But it''s a pity that empress Yan fought for a confused Lord. Especially the treacherous and sycophantic around the governor, can the governor endure it all the time? I would have stabbed him to death with one shot, so as not to make a fuss. "


    Yan Yan a listen to Zhao Yun''s words, know this Si is stimulating Li Yan again.


    Don''t let Zhao Yun talk nonsense.


    Otherwise, with Li Yan''s small bellied nature, he will be angry again.


    Yan Yan roared: "Zhao Yun, take it!"


    Without saying a word, Yan Yan drives his horse and rushes up. After waving the Tiangang sword in his hand, he leaves a shadow in the air, and then splits to Zhao Yun. The blade was sharp, and the skin on his face was torn before he reached the body.


    Zhao Yun in the hand dragon gall bright silver gun a shake, then stabbed out.


    "Ding! Ding


    The point of the spear that pierced continuously hit the blade, which deflected the blade.


    Yan Yan wrong behind, the blade in the air to turn a circle, and is a knife horizontal cut, unexpectedly straight to Zhao Yun''s neck.


    If this knife goes down, there will be no head. Zhao Yun put up a gun to resist, broke the blade, and swept the gun toward Yan Yan''s waist.


    Yan Yan''s expression is dignified. He resists when he raises the knife.


    Two people fight, you a move, I a move, you come and I go, kill very happy.


    But when they fight, Zhao Yun shows his defeat.


    After another hundred moves of fighting, Zhao Yun retreated as soon as he was shot. He quickly retreated to the camp and roared, "Archer, prepare!"


    As soon as he rushed into the camp, Zhao Yun ordered, "shoot the arrow!"


    "Whew! Whew


    In an instant, dense bows and arrows shot out, like a rain of arrows falling in the air.


    Yan Yan was caught unprepared, in the hands of the sky Gang knife dance up, constantly pull away the arrow shot.


    Yan Yan and war and retreat, constantly open the distance.


    Li Yan, who is sitting in the rear, is excited when he sees Zhao Yun returning to the camp. Zhao Yun is just so vulnerable! Li Yan raised his sword in his hand and roared, "kill me, boys! Break through the barracks and capture Zhao Yun alive. "


    At the command, all the troops under his command launched an attack.


    "Kill, kill Zhao Yun!"


    "Kill


    "Avenge general Wu Lan, kill him!"


    A group of Yizhou soldiers constantly forward, rapid charge.


    Thunder copper has already been ready, he and Wu Lan as brothers, Wu Lan was killed, thunder copper heart is more angry. He took the lead with a knife and quickly approached the camp.The army launched an attack and soon rushed to Yan Yan.


    If the soldiers were like this, Yan Yan could not retreat.


    Yan Yan is carrying the sky Gang knife, continuously pokes the bow and arrow which shoots, fast forward to rush.


    "Puchi! Wheezing


    A feather arrow shot into the body of Yizhou soldiers.


    Yizhou soldiers screamed and fell, but later Yizhou soldiers rushed up. The dense military sprint has been a rapid narrowing of the distance. It wasn''t long before the army rushed to the gate of the camp.


    At such a close distance, the Archer has lost its function.


    The rest is fighting!


    Zhao Yun sent his soldiers to fight directly. He looked at Lu Su beside him and said, "Army division, we will withdraw later. You take a team of soldiers and retreat from the rear camp first. I command the soldiers, and then I''ll come


    Lu Su shook his head and said, "it''s not necessary!"


    Zhao Yun solemnly said: "military strategist!"


    Seeing Zhao Yun''s expression, Lu Su knows that Zhao Yun is for his safety, but Lu Su is also a big man, not a man without the strength to bind a chicken.


    Lu Su did not want to retreat first. He said, "general, I went to battle to kill the enemy before I became a military commander."


    Zhao Yun and Lu Su looked at each other and were defeated in an instant: "just pay attention to safety."


    Immediately, Zhao Yun called several soldiers and said, "protect the military division for me. If there is something wrong with the military division, you should come to see me."


    "Yes


    Several soldiers'' orders were solemnly nodded and recorded.


    As soon as Zhao Yun waved, the soldiers escorted Lu Su to stand in the rear, while Zhao Yun was in command.


    In the face of Yan Yan and Lei Tong, Zhao Yun did not fight. When it comes to cover up, Zhao Yun will definitely participate. But now the camp defense, he must be in command, otherwise he will fight, who will command? The army can''t do anything else.


    Facing the attack, Zhao Yun ordered the soldiers to resist.


    Wave after wave of soldiers, and Yizhou army is also like a tide of continuous killing.


    There was no adulteration in the fighting between the two armies. They fought for their lives.


    Fighting for nearly an hour, the war is still anxious.


    The number of soldiers killed and injured on both sides is increasing.


    Zhao Yun has always grasped the development of the situation. If he does his best, he can stabilize the situation or even defeat Yan Yan''s army. But this battle is not to defeat the other side, but to solve the threat of Yan Yan, a tiger general, and destroy the army.


    "Retreat, retreat!"


    Seeing that the situation was almost over, Zhao Yun gave the order decisively.


    "Dang! Dang! "


    The sound of gongs was heard everywhere on the battlefield.


    Zhao Yun retreated, and Lu Su followed. The whole army quickly retreated and left the rear camp. This retreat, the Yizhou army, which was already tired, immediately came to the spirit, and Li Yan, who was in charge, was even more excited.


    Win!


    The chance to defeat Zhao Yun is coming!


    Li Yan ordered: "beat the drum, fight the whole army, kill Zhao Yun for me."


    At the moment, Li Yan''s heart was beating. He even ordered the soldiers to beat the battle drum continuously, so that the soldiers in front of him could quickly cover up.


    At this time, the Yizhou army has been going all out, constantly fighting.


    Yan Yan in front of the battle, he saw Zhao Yun retreat, see Li Yan ordered pursuit, also can''t stop, can only follow the army quickly rushed into the camp, constantly kill the fleeing Jingzhou army.


    At this time, the situation completely fell to the Yizhou army, so the Yizhou soldiers lost their mind in pursuit and kept killing, while Zhao Yun and Lu Su led the soldiers to retreat quickly.

 Chapter 559

    Jingzhou army''s camp was completely crushed.


    The whole camp is in a mess.


    The mighty Yizhou soldiers rushed by, which was a scene after the storm.


    Li Yan was immersed in the quickness of pursuing and killing. He led the troops to cover up and kill. He couldn''t manage so much. In Li Yan''s mind, he only wanted to defeat Zhao Yun and Liu Xiu''s army.


    No one in the world can defeat Liu Xiu.


    If he commands the army to win, then he is the first.


    Li Yan could not resist such a great honor.


    The mood in the brain, completely occupied by victory, has been dazzled by victory.


    Yan Yan with the army to kill, but he is relatively calm. Because when Yan Yan was covering up, he found that although the camp of Jingzhou army was messy, the food and equipment had been moved away. Of course, it could be said that they were all stored in the county seat of Zhixian county. Can be so clean, it is always difficult not to doubt.


    After half an hour of continuous pursuit, the army has been far away from its previous position.


    Zhixian county from the county, has been closer and closer.


    Suddenly, in front of the official road, there was a forest. The Jingzhou army, who had just escaped, had all penetrated into the woods and then ran towards the county seat of Zhixian county.


    Yan Yan saw the woods for a moment and shivered.


    "Stop, stop going!"


    Yan Yan didn''t even think about it, so he gave the order directly.


    Never enter the forest!


    Yan Yan remembers the art of war of his ancestors and gives orders directly.


    When this order was given, the army stopped.


    The soldiers who were coming later had to stop because the soldiers in front of them stopped.


    Li Yanzheng is intoxicated in his dream. All of a sudden, the army stops. He asks the soldiers why. He learns that Yan Yan orders the army to stop because he can''t enter the forest.


    In a flash, Li Yan''s head was full of anger.


    Never enter the forest!


    You can''t get in the woods!


    "Drive!"


    Li Yan rode forward and quickly came to Yan Yan. He looked at the soldiers under his command and the eager Lei Tong, and said in a loud voice: "sons, the chance to defeat Liu Xiu is just around the corner. Are you willing to give up? We beat Zhao Yun in disguise. Do you want to flinch from the battle? "


    Yan Yan listen to in the ear, then understand come over, Li Yan this is also plan to enter the army!


    Immediately, Yan Yan said: "Li Junshi, do not enter the forest..."


    As soon as he spoke, Li Yan directly interrupted Yan Yan''s words and raised his voice: "every time you don''t enter the forest, it depends on whether it''s day or night. What kind of ambush can there be in the woods in broad daylight? What''s more, if we defeat Zhao Yun in a dignified way, can there be ambush in it? There can''t be any. "


    "Son Lang, listen to my order, kill! Kill Zhao Yun and make contributions


    Li Yan took over the military power directly and gave orders.


    When it comes to life and death, Yan Yan said, "no one is allowed to act rashly!"


    Tiangang sword shakes in the air and crosses the road.


    When one man is in charge, ten thousand can''t open!


    Yan Yan is trying to stop his soldiers from advancing.


    Yan Yan thinks that there is something strange about this battle. Although there is no real evidence to date, the difference in fighting on the battlefield is that he can lose everything. He can''t afford to gamble, so he can only give his life to stop him.


    Yan Yan looked directly at Li Yan and did not give up.


    That gray hair must flutter with the wind, a heroic breath, burst out from Yan Yan.


    Li Yan expression turns cold, way: "Yan Yan, do you want to resist?"


    Yan Yan said, "I''m the commander in the army."


    Brush!


    Without hesitation, Li Yan took out the token given by Liu Zhang and said in a loud voice: "my Lord has an order here. My Lord had expected that you would disobey the order, so he specially asked me to take the token for convenience. Yan Yan, when he sees the Lord''s token, he doesn''t kneel down to listen to the order. "


    The big hat must be buttoned, Yan Yan''s mouth twitches.


    The Lord is up, he can''t resist.


    Plop!


    Yan Yan knelt down on his knees and said, "I''ll take the order!"


    Li Yan ordered: "from now on, contact your command over the army. All soldiers, follow the orders of our division. You must not interfere without authorization. If you disobey, there will be no amnesty. "


    "Yes


    Yan Yan stood up, the expression is more solemn, but there is silent anger.


    A cavity of anger, silting up in the chest.


    However, Yan Yan is unable to turn around, can only see Li Yan deprived of his rights.


    Li Yan''s eyes fall on Lei Tong. He knows the relationship between Lei Tong and Wu Lan. When Wu Lan was killed yesterday, Lei Tong gnashes his teeth in anger and yells to kill Zhao Yun to avenge Wu Lan.


    Li Yan said in a deep voice: "Zhao Yun killed Wu Lan. Up to now, Wu Lan has died. The opportunity to defeat Zhao Yun''s army today is just around the corner. Dare you lead the army to cover up and kill Zhao Yun? ""The end will be willing to continue to cover up."


    Thunder copper kill rise, especially for Wu Lan revenge, already can''t wait.


    Li Yan said: "our military division orders you to be the pioneer, lead the army into the mountains, kill Zhao Yun and avenge Wu Lan."


    "Yes


    Thunder copper got the order, roared: "son Lang people, follow me to kill!"


    With an order, the army continued to move and rushed to the mountains.


    "Kill


    "Kill


    One by one, the soldiers were mobilized, and countless Yizhou soldiers rushed to the mountains.


    Li Yan saw this scene, the corners of his mouth raised a smile.


    This battle will be won!


    Li Yan took a look at Yan Yan, but he saw that Yan Yan''s eyes suddenly moistened and were filled with tears. He lost his voice and said, "don''t go into the mountains. There are ambushes. There are ambushes!"


    Li Yan scolded: "Yan Yan, if you deceive people again, our military adviser will punish you."


    Yan Yan''s eyes turned to Li Yan. His eyes were cold and murderous.


    Cold!


    Indifference!


    Hostile!


    ¡­¡­


    All kinds of emotions showed in Yan Yan''s eyes, and his expression was pathetic.


    Tears like the river burst out, can no longer stop. Yan Yan cold face, tears in the eyes, mouth said: "Li Yan, you are the sinner, you are the sinner of our Yizhou army."


    "Son of a bitch!"


    Li Yan is angry, big sleeve a whisk, command a way: "take Yan Yan down, detain."


    The soldiers got the order and escorted Yan Yan to leave.


    Li Yan sat in the back of the town, and then with a large army, he began to enter the mountain forest. At this time, Lei Tong, as a pioneer, has entered the mountain forest.


    This mountain forest is not steep, but full of weeds.


    In the broad mountain forest, the small trees are thick, and the big ones even need to be hugged by two people.


    "General Lei, here are the weapons and armor left by Jingzhou army. This is it. Go after it."


    The soldiers in the army chased and kept tracking along the armor.


    Entering the mountain forest, we are going deeper and deeper.


    "Whew! Whew


    Suddenly, in the forest, there was a bow and arrow. This group of bows and arrows were shot at the tracking Yizhou soldiers. As soon as the bow and arrow hit Yizhou soldiers, there were bursts of screams.


    "Kill


    In a flash, a roar came out.


    This time, Zhao Yun personally led the soldiers to kill them.


    Zhao Yun, with a silver gun in his hand, quickly shuttled through the forest.


    "Kill


    "Kill Yizhou soldiers."


    "Yizhou children, you are in the trap."


    Jingzhou soldiers are springing up everywhere in the mountains. One by one, they were carrying weapons to quickly kill the Yizhou soldiers in the forest.


    When the two armies fight, all the soldiers who follow Zhao Yun are wuximan soldiers.


    This group of soldiers are good at fighting in the forest. They kill Yizhou soldiers and run away.


    Lei Tong is holding a mace in his hand. When he sees Zhao Yun leading the soldiers out, his eyes flash with anger, and he roars: "Zhao Yun child, Lei Tong is here, take your life!"


    Thunder copper is waving the mace, then quickly forward to kill.


    In a twinkling of an eye, the thunder copper had already rushed to Zhao Yun''s body. After the mace was raised, it fell down and went straight to Zhao Yun''s head.


    Zhao Yun rubbed the silver spear in his hand and hit the mace after the spear came out.


    "Ding!"


    Mars splashed, and the attack of the mace was instantly blocked.


    "Seven probe snake, kill!"


    Zhao Yun''s Longdan bright silver gun is not affected at all. He takes back a foot in the air. The tip of the gun dribbles around and instantly gets to Lei Tong''s chest.


    The tip of the gun flickered and went into the heart of thunder copper.


    Poof!


    A canopy of blood splashed out, the gentian bright silver gun twitched, and thunder copper fell on the ground with his head up.


    Zhao Yun''s eyes were sharp and he roared: "thunder copper is dead, kill it!"


    Shouts spread out, in an instant, making the Yizhou war in the mountains and forests. Lei Tongdu died in battle. They didn''t dare to resist. They ran away quickly one by one. They didn''t dare to stay.

 Chapter 560

    Yizhou army''s pursuit in the mountains is a big taboo.


    When Lei Tong was killed, he was defeated like a mountain.


    Zhao Yun led the army to pursue and kill without any effort. Yizhou soldiers were already fleeing and surrendering. They were in a mess and could no longer resist.


    Countless people roared and rushed out.


    Lost the armor!


    Lost the weapon!


    I can''t manage anything. I just want to live.


    "Ambush! Run


    "Zhao Yun is coming. Run away. If you don''t run away, you will be killed."


    "Run


    Countless soldiers rushed to the edge of the woods, shouting in panic.


    After the sound came out, the troops who were walking in the mountains were in a panic. The news quickly spread to Li Yan''s ears. Seeing the chaotic soldiers, he gave a loud order: "don''t run, don''t withdraw, kill me!"


    At the moment, Li Yan also had a pale look on his face.


    Lost!


    The war was defeated.


    When Li Yan tried to turn around the defeat, the soldiers under his command kept on giving orders and running away.


    Even if Li Yan wanted to fight again, his soldiers were not obedient. Li Yan saw this scene, his expression suddenly became indifferent, and ordered: "withdraw, withdraw immediately."


    "Dang! Dang


    The sound of calling the Golden Army to its end reverberates on the official road.


    Li Yan retreated quickly with his soldiers, and the soldiers under his command kept up.


    Twenty thousand Yizhou soldiers fled and were constantly killed by the rear pursuers.


    Zhao Yun knew that this was a heaven given opportunity, and he was also closely entangled behind the Yizhou army, hanging Li Yan''s army, and kept on killing. Where they had passed, either Yizhou soldiers were killed or Yizhou soldiers knelt down to surrender.


    Zhao Yuncai ordered the troops to withdraw when the army pursued all the way and approached the military camp in Yizhou.


    The army withdrew, retreated all the way, and cleaned the battlefield all the way.


    It''s evening to go back to camp and camp again. Zhao Yun took his generals to deal with the prisoners, and the results of the battle were counted before he returned to the Chinese army.


    Lu Su had a smile on his face and said, "general, what''s the result of this battle?"


    Zhao Yun laughed and said: "in this battle, our soldiers lost as many as 2000 soldiers, but captured more than 8000 Yizhou soldiers. It is roughly estimated that more than 4000 soldiers were killed. After this battle, Li Yan was defeated. "


    Lu Su also had a smile on his face when the army won.


    Zhao Yun added: "military division, we have won, or even have an absolute advantage. I think we have a chance to defeat Yizhou army. "


    Lu Su heard the speech, but he shook his head.


    Zhao Yun said: "does the military adviser think it is not suitable to fight?"


    Lu Su explained: "general, did you ever see Yan Yan in this fight?"


    After thinking for a while, Zhao Yun said, "I didn''t find out that Yan Yan was a fighting man, even a general in the army. When he killed us, Yan Yan should be there, but only Lei Tong was a little strange."


    Lu Su laughed and said: "if I expect that, Yan Yan must be controlled by Li Yan. Yan Yan is a veteran with rich experience. When he meets the mountain forest, he will definitely stop the pursuit. But Li Yan is different. He is headstrong and willful. He must have made the decision to order the attack. "


    "When the Yizhou army was defeated, we immediately covered it up. Li Yan couldn''t resist it, so he had to ask Yan Yan for help. Well, Yan Yan and Li Yan have made up for the time being. What we have done before is that all previous achievements have been wasted. "


    "Even, once Yan Yan retreats to Jiangzhou County, it will be more difficult to win Yan Yan again."


    Lu Su''s eyes twinkled with wisdom, and said: "what we have to do now is to stop pursuing and rest for a while, waiting for Li Yan and Yan Yan to continue their internal strife."


    "The Yizhou army was defeated so far, will Li Yan admit that his command failed?"


    "Certainly not!"


    "If we don''t attack Li Yan, he may attack Yan Yan. We should put all the accusations on Yan Yan and let Yan Yan bear the responsibility this time. "


    Lu Su''s eyes were firm, and he believed in his own judgment.


    He knows about Yan Yan and Li Yan''s conduct, character and means.


    Based on these, we can make a decision.


    After listening to Lu Su''s words, Zhao Yun also believed Lu Su''s judgment and said, "military adviser, Yan Yan Yan is old, but he is old and strong. He is a tiger general. What''s more, he has outstanding ability and prestige in Ba County. If we can recruit him, it will help us to control Bajun. You see, you can take him in. "


    Lu Su Eye Bead son turns a way: "have an opportunity, but also have to see Yan Yan''s person how to deal with."


    Zhao Yun said: "it''s better to accept Yan Yan."


    Lu Su thought carefully and said, "do your best and listen to the destiny. We''ve done what we need to do. We have to wait and see what happens next. "Zhao Yun nodded slightly. After talking about military affairs, they left the camp together to check the soldiers'' injuries.


    ¡­¡­


    Yizhou army, in the camp.


    Li Yan and his soldiers fled back, but Zhao Yun did not pursue them.


    Therefore, the army also has time to rest.


    Li Yan ordered the army to rest and count the losses at the same time. After the final count, the soldiers came to report: "military division, only 4000 soldiers returned to the camp."


    Brush!


    Li Yan''s face became extremely embarrassed.


    There were twenty thousand when they came, and now there are only four thousand.


    Such a big loss is too serious. At this point, how to explain to Liu Zhang? For a moment, Li Yan''s heart is also flustered up, and even he began to regret, early know to listen to Yan Yan''s advice, will not be defeated.


    The soldier said, "besides, general Lei Tong also died. Many generals in the army, such as Zhang Hao and Liu Ping Ping, all died in the war. "


    "Hiss! Hiss


    Li Yan took a cool breath, and his expression was more dignified.


    Many generals were killed, and more than half of the soldiers lost. How can he afford it? Li Yan''s eyes kept turning, suddenly thought of Yan Yan, asked: "Yan Yan?"


    The soldier said, "in custody in the camp."


    After hearing this, a cold light flashed in Li Yan''s eyes and said, "all the generals in the command army should come to the big tent of the Chinese army. Besides, Yan Yan is also brought in. "


    "Yes


    The soldier was ordered to turn and retreat.


    Li Yan returned to the throne and sat down with a cold light in his eyes.


    If such a big war fails, there must be a saying that Li Yan''s plan is to let Yan Yan come out to answer the crime, and then he can explain it to Liu Zhang clearly.


    He has a token given by Liu Zhang in his hand. I believe he can handle this matter well.


    After a short time, the generals came one by one.


    The generals had changed their clothes, but they looked rather tired. He had been hiding and killing Jingzhou army before, but later he was chased away like birds and animals, which was very hard.


    After all the generals arrived, Yan Yan was also tied up by the soldiers.


    Yan Yan stood in the tent, red eyes, angry.


    Yan Yan already knows about the killing of Lei Tong.


    At the moment, Yan Yan hates Li Yan''s incompetence, hates him for believing Li Yan''s words, and even takes the initiative to fight. If he doesn''t fight, he won''t fight Zhao Yun, and Li Yan won''t have a chance to order pursuit.


    All this, he is credulous of Li Yan!


    Yan Yan said angrily, "Li Yan, you keep on admonishing me and are determined to go your own way. Now that the army is defeated, how do you end up and report to the Lord? How do you deal with the dead souls


    The words of questioning slightly changed Li Yan''s face.


    "Son of a bitch!"


    Li Yan slapped his face on the table and said, "Li Yan, you still have the face to question our military division for today''s defeat. If it wasn''t for your refusal to cooperate, if it wasn''t for your obstruction, how could Lei Tong die and the army be defeated? "


    Yan Yan''s eyes widened when he heard these shameless words.


    Eyes, even more incredible.


    How could such a brazen person be?


    Yan Yan said in a deep voice: "Li Yan, don''t spit out blood. It''s your responsibility to lose the war. It''s impossible for you to shirk your responsibility and let me take the blame for you. "


    Li Yan expression cold, way: "Yan Yan, you dare to sophistry."


    Sen Leng''s eyes, from Li Yan''s eyes revealed, his heart''s decision is more firm.

 Chapter 561

    Yan Yan straightened up, held his head high and said, "how can I sophistry? When you arrive in the army, Li Yan will rush out. Have you ever been in a war? When I was fighting, you were still wearing crotch pants. "


    When Li Yan heard the speech, he glared angrily.


    In the eyes, it is cold.


    Li Yan said in a deep voice: "when Zhao Yun was killed today, the army killed him. Only you stood up against it, affected the morale of the army and delayed the time. If you don''t delay, does Zhao Yun, who fled to the mountain forest, have time to find a place to hide and fight back? If it wasn''t for your timidity and fear, Lei Tong would not have been killed alone. "


    "In the Jingzhou army, there are people with high martial arts skills like Zhao Yun."


    "But what about us?"


    "You Yan Yan is the chief General of the army, a first-class master, but you are afraid to fight. Even you are timid. How can the soldiers not be affected? "


    Li Yan continued: "when the two armies fight and meet in a narrow road, only the brave win. But you are cowardly. Can the soldiers under your command still have morale if they are influenced by you? "


    "If it wasn''t for your influence, it would not have been defeated."


    "In this battle, if you didn''t retreat, Lei Tong would not die."


    Li Yan said with disdain: "it''s very good now. You''ve come to lay a charge on our army. Yan Yan, you are so bold. "


    The words of questioning show Li Yan''s strength.


    Yan Yan is a veteran in the army. Naturally, he knows what to kill and what not to kill.


    Zhao Yun made it clear that he was setting a trap, and Li Yan had to go inside.


    Yan Yan said, "Li Yan, you are so unreasonable."


    Li yanleng said: "you are the one who sophists. If it wasn''t for you, this battle would not be like this."


    Yan Yan said, "it''s you, Li Yan, who led to the failure of the war."


    "Son of a bitch!"


    Li Yan said coldly, "you have to quibble!"


    Yan Yan said, "do you know what to say


    Li Yan ordered, "come on!"


    With an order, two soldiers came in outside the camp and saluted.


    Li Yan couldn''t help it any longer. He ordered: "Yan Yan is greedy for life and afraid of death. He also insisted on sophistry. He dragged it down for me. He was thirty years old and made an example."


    "Yes


    Soldiers come forward and take down Yan Yan.


    Yan Yan roared: "who dares to take me?"


    Li Yan stood up and said, "can you rebel?"


    Yan Yan said, "you are deceiving people too much."


    Li Yan once again took out the token given by Liu Zhang and said, "Yan Yan, this is the token given by the Lord. It''s convenient for us to authorize our military division. Are you sure you want to disobey orders? "


    Yan Yan smell speech, the expression on the face hesitated.


    The token given by Liu Zhang represents Liu Zhang. Once he insists on resisting, he will disobey his orders.


    Li Yan ordered: "drag down, the staff is responsible for 30."


    Yan Yan roared: "Li Yan, you will get retribution." He looked at the soldiers coming and said coldly, "if you don''t do it, I''ll go by myself." He walked out of the camp and lay down in the camp.


    Looking at Li Xingshi, he stood up beside him


    "Do it!"


    Li Yan ordered that the soldiers who executed the sentence would swing the cane and smash it down.


    "Hoo


    The cane crossed an arc in the air and immediately fell on Yan Yan''s ass.


    "Pa!"


    The buttocks rolled, a cane down, Yan Yan''s body trembled for a while, that a face full of frost, is becoming red, and hidden anger.


    "Pa! Bang


    The cane kept rising and falling, hitting Yan Yan''s ass hard.


    But Li Yan was not satisfied and said, "do you have no strength to execute? If you can''t, I''ll replace you and let you lie down and try to be beaten by the cane. "


    The cold words made the soldiers shiver.


    The soldiers swung their cane and beat them down.


    The cane swings in the air, and you can even detect the blood splashing from the bottom. At this moment, the skin on Yan Yan''s buttocks had been cracked, the spilled blood dyed his trousers red, and even dyed his cane red.


    "Hit, hit me hard."


    Li Yan was very happy in his eyes.


    This is the end of being against him. This is the result of not listening to orders.


    The cane was still falling, one by one, with blood coming out, but Yan Yan didn''t even make a sound from the beginning to the end, so he held on to it.


    Bean big sweat, from Yan Yan''s forehead flowing down.


    Yan Yan didn''t realize it, just resisted the pain from his buttocks.


    The generals around them all clenched their fists and looked resentful. Yan Yan treats his soldiers like his father, and loves his soldiers like his son. Now Yan Yan has been hit hard, and his heart is very sad.Li Yan looked at people''s expressions in his eyes and sneered in his heart.


    Clean up Yan Yan, also have the intention to beat these people.


    A group of people, self righteous.


    Li Yan supervised the beating of the thirty army staff. Looking at his bloody ass, he said in a deep voice: "Yan Yan, you''ve been staying in the camp these days. Our military division will not convict you, but what you have done will be reported to the Lord truthfully, and the Lord will rule on it. "


    Yan Yan heard the words and said nothing.


    At the moment, he has almost collapsed, and can no longer lift a trace of strength.


    However, when the generals around heard the words, their faces changed greatly.


    The ruling by Liu Zhang means that Li Yan has to write a document and send it to Chengdu.


    This incident itself was caused by Li Yan. He even forcibly identified it as Li Yan''s crime. Now he has to write a document for Liu Zhang. It''s conceivable that Li Yan would slander Yan Yan in the document.


    The expression on each face was quite angry.


    Too much!


    The general''s expression was defiant.


    Seeing Li Yan leave with both hands on his back, one of them said, "come on, take the board, put the adult on the board, and then carry the adult back to the camp."


    A group of people looking at the weak Yan, are nervous.


    After all, Yan Yan is already in his early fifties. He is very old. Even if he can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and fight, he has suddenly suffered from 30 army sticks, and the pain can be imagined.


    They are busy, and soon bring Yan Yan back to the camp.


    Li Mang, as a good general in the army, after Wu Lan and Lei Tong died in the war, his position was relatively high, and he was also a strong general under Yan Yan. He sat in front of the bed, bit by bit for Yan Yan clean buttocks injury.


    Thirty army stick down, pants are broken, and mixed with flesh and blood.


    It''s very painful to clean up.


    Li mang was red in his eyes and said, "Li Yan is too much. If he had not directed the war blindly, he would not have done so. The old man is so old that he even plays thirty army sticks. It''s really hateful. "


    The feeling of resentment came out of the words.


    Yan Yan endured the pain on his buttocks and said feebly: "well, I don''t believe he can cover the sky with one hand."


    While Li mang was cleaning up, he said: "Li Yan said that Liu Yizhou would be invited to deal with it. Li Yan has submitted the documents. Can you say your good things? It must be on you. "


    "Yes, my Lord, Li Yan has a sinister mind. I''m afraid it''s not good."


    "Sir, we can''t wait to die."


    "Now it''s the 30th army staff. I''m afraid the next time is to dismiss or even convict."


    All the generals you and I said were filled with righteous indignation.


    Yan Yan shook his head and said, "it''s OK. It''s OK." Although the words say so, Yan Yan''s heart is very angry, more feel not reconciled. Li Yan punished him as the prefect of Bajun and the feudal official of Yijun.


    After Li mang sprinkled the medicine, he cleaned up the wound and then bandaged it with Baizhi. Then, Li mangcai said: "my Lord, your injury is quite serious, but you haven''t cracked your muscles and bones."


    Yan Yan said: "I know, OK, you all go down."


    Li mang got up and went to the camp. He gritted his teeth, turned around and knelt down.


    Plop!


    Li mang knelt on the ground, but he knocked on the ground with his head and fell on the ground with his hands.


    Yan Yan was stunned by this scene and said, "Li Mang, what are you doing?"


    Li mang raised his head and said slowly, "my Lord, it''s better to start first, and then you will suffer. If we don''t do anything, we''ll just sit back and wait for our death. In the end, we''ll be targeted by Li Yan. My Lord, let''s do it first and kill Li Yan. "

 Chapter 562

    In a word, Li Mang, everyone changed.


    One by one expression, as if by a tornado devastation in general, all incredible.


    Kill Li Yan?


    What is this to do?


    Are you going to rebel?


    Thanks to Yan Yan''s generals, all of them didn''t make trouble. However, they were shocked by Li Mang''s words.


    Yan Yan said: "Li Mang, if you dare to kill Li Yan, I will take your skin."


    Li mang clenched his fist and said: "Li Yan treats adults like this, and you will be punished after he reports to Liu Yizhou. So I can''t wait to die. "


    Yan Yan said, "if you do this, I will be rebellious."


    Li mang said: "rebellion means rebellion. Liu Yizhou knows that adults can resist Zhao Yun, but he sent a military adviser to restrain you. Such a lord, don''t worry about it. "


    The more he went on, the more outrageous Li mang was.


    After listening to the rest of the generals, some began to echo.


    When people think of Li Yan''s attitude towards Yan Yan and Li Yan''s defeat in commanding the army, they have a knot in their heart. It''s really disappointing to brag with a broken token.


    Yan Yan shook his head and said, "if you really killed Li Yan, what should you do?"


    Li mang said: "we have all rebelled. What else can we do? To submit to Liu Xiu is to do so. Anyway, Liu Zhang may not be able to stop Liu Xiu''s killing. If you surrender to Liu Xiu, you can be regarded as obedient. "


    Yan Yan listened, but was silent.


    He was loyal to Liu Zhang, but Li Yan''s practice disappointed him too much.


    Once Li Yan reports the news, he will be punished. There is no doubt about that.


    Seeing that Yan Yan didn''t speak, Li mang said, "since you don''t speak, you will acquiesce. It''s settled. " He stood up and looked at the rest of the people: "everyone, mobilize the soldiers and surround Li Yan''s camp."


    As soon as he turned around, Li mang walked out of the camp, and the others followed him.


    Yan Yan looked at the back of the crowd and sighed.


    That''s all!


    Kill it!


    Li mang left the barracks with the generals, directly mobilized the soldiers in the army, and quickly came to Li Yan''s barracks.


    This move surprised the soldiers outside Li Yanying''s tent.


    Li Yan came out of the camp and saw Li Mang and others. He said, "Li Mang, what are you going to do? Do you want to revolt when you openly surround the barracks of your division with your troops? "


    Li mang said coldly: "Li Yan, since you came to the barracks, everything has been in a mess. The old man is very old and loyal, but you have to blame him for 30 years. You can think of it. "


    "In this battle, it is clear that you have failed in your blind command, but you have shirked yourself from the boss."


    "A man like you can''t command the army."


    Li mang cold eyes, said: "now, this will bring soldiers to come, is to revolt, is to kill people like you."


    There is no hiding, Li mang said the intention directly.


    Li Mang''s ferocity changed Li Yan''s face. He directly took out his trump card, the token given by Liu Zhang. Holding the token, Li Yan ordered: "Mr. Zhou mu, the token is here. You all listen to me. Come on, take Li mang for me. "


    The order was given, but the soldiers around Li mang did not move.


    Everyone''s expression, all silk does not move.


    Li Yan looked at the soldiers around him and said, "what are you doing standing there? Go ahead and kill Li mang for me."


    These soldiers are the guards selected by Li Yan himself.


    Li mang expression solemnly, coldly way: "which of you is to live impatiently want to die, although rush up to try."


    A word made the soldiers who were moved to stay where they were.


    Li Yan roared: "yes, Li Mang, you are. Where is Yan Yan? Is he the instigator. Our military division wants to question him. What''s wrong with Mr. Zhou mu? He even ordered the soldiers to revolt. "


    Li mang said: "Mr. Li is a noble man who forgets many things. In a twinkling of an eye, he forgot that he had just scolded the thirty soldiers. If it were you, Li Yan, I''m afraid that if you go down with the thirty army staff, you would have died long ago. "


    After a pause, Li mang said, "will Ben give you a ride in person, or will you go on your own way?"


    Li Yan''s face changed greatly and said, "you bastard, you can''t kill me."


    Li mang said, "what do I dare not kill?"


    "I''m fighting with you."


    With a clang, Li Yan pulled out his sword and rushed to Li mang with it. The sword is sharp, but Li Yan is a scholar after all. His speed is not fast. As soon as Li mang turns his step, he avoids Li Yan''s long sword.


    Li mang pulled out his sword, grinned and said, "come on, as long as you can kill me, you can turn the situation around. Now, let Ben see what you can do. "


    "Kill


    Li Yan was furious. He knew that he was not Li Mang''s opponent.Even if you die, you have to split two swords.


    Li Yan waved his sword to Li Mang, but Li mang no longer evaded, and he went up with his sword.


    "Dang!"


    The blade of the sword struck and made a sound.


    "Ah


    A scream came from Li Yan''s mouth.


    Just now, Li Yan''s hand trembled under the impact of force. He almost couldn''t hold the handle of the sword. When Li Yan''s hand was sore, Li mang cut it off again with his sword.


    Li mang couldn''t avoid it, so he had to wave his sword to resist it. The moment the weapon hit, Li Yan''s sword flew out.


    Holding the hand of the sword, he kept shaking.


    A bright blade of the sword flashed in the air and stabbed at his chest.


    "Puchi!"


    The sharp edge of the sword directly pierced Li Yan''s chest and heart.


    The red blood splashed out with a puff.


    Li Yan screamed bitterly. He roared: "Li Mang, you can''t die well, you can''t..."


    Li Mang''s face was serious, so he took out his sword.


    "Poof!"


    Blood splashed, Li Yan fell back on the ground, no breath.


    Li mang comes to Li Yan''s body and squats down. He actually cuts down Li Yan''s head with a sword. Soldiers drag Li Yan''s body down, while Li mang carries Li Yan''s head and takes his generals to Yan Yan''s camp.


    Coming to the camp, Li mang threw Li Yan''s head on the ground and said, "my Lord, Li Yan has been killed."


    "Alas..."


    Yan Yan sighed, but he was not indecisive. He looked at Li Mang and said, "since I killed Li Yan, there is no turning back. In the past two days, you have sorted out the grain and equipment in the army, and the situation of the soldiers. When everything is in order, surrender with me. "


    The defeat in this war, plus the killing of Li Yan, Yan Yan has no way out.


    With a smile on his face, Li mang said, "your honor is wise!"


    "My Lord is wise!"


    All the people in the camp spoke one after another.


    All the facial expressions, on the contrary, there is a smile.


    This battle and Zhao Yun confrontation, the other side''s strong they also saw. In particular, there are Liu Xiu and Zhang Lu''s army in the north. Under such circumstances, Liu Zhang is no longer alone.


    The overall situation is like this, and Liu Zhang did not follow him.


    On the contrary, he followed Liu Xiu and had enough opportunities.


    For the soldiers in the army, they don''t care who they are loyal to? They will submit to whoever can benefit them.


    After Li mang retreated, he summoned the generals to prepare for the surrender.


    In just two days, Li mang has made a clear inventory of all the assets of the camp, including the money, food, equipment and so on. They are all ready and then sent to Yan Yan Yan''s camp.


    In two days, Yan Yan also recovered a lot.


    At least, I can stand and walk.


    Yan Yan looks at the bamboo slips, and orders people to put all the bamboo slips into the boxes. He asks the soldiers to take the boxes and Li Yan''s head sealed with lime and go out of the camp to Zhao Yun''s camp.


    This time to surrender, Yan Yan took Li mang.


    When a group of people go, Yan Yan is lying in the carriage, because the buttock injury is not good.

 Chapter 563

    Jingzhou army, camp.


    Zhao Yun and Lu Su are sitting in the tent, and they are discussing business.


    These two days, Zhao Yun has not taken action, has been waiting for the news of Yizhou military camp. If Li Yan and Yan Yan can''t have a conflict for a long time, Zhao Yun and Lu Su will have to work harder to make things go smoothly.


    Zhao Yun said: "military adviser, up to now there is no news back, I''m afraid things have changed!"


    Lu Su is light smile, not urgent not slow way: "urgent what?"


    Zhao Yun said: "it''s been two days. If there are contradictions, there should be results."


    Lu Su said: "then wait another day."


    Zhao Yun nodded and sighed: "Li Yan is headstrong. Now he''s defeated. We didn''t cover him up. It won''t be fruitless."


    Lu Su nodded slightly and agreed with Zhao Yun''s analysis.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside.


    A soldier came in and reported: "general, just after receiving the news from the spies, Yan Yan came to our camp with people in a carriage."


    "Good! Let''s see. "


    Zhao Yun nodded and ordered him to go down.


    After the soldiers retreated, Zhao Yun said: "military adviser, Yan Yan came on his own initiative. Maybe there was internal strife."


    Lu Su said: "it must be so."


    There was a smile on their faces and the topic of conversation relaxed. Before time passed, a soldier came to the camp and reported: "general, Yan Yan, please see me."


    "Please


    Zhao Yun big sleeve a brush, then issued the order.


    Soldiers down to convey orders, not long, Yan Yan entered the camp.


    It''s just Yan Yan''s limping, which is very inconvenient. Li mang follows behind, still supporting Yan Yan, so as not to let Yan Yan fall down.


    This scene surprised Zhao Yun and Lu su.


    What''s going on?


    However, Zhao Yun''s eyes fall on Yan Yan''s hand with a black package.


    Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Abbot Yan, we meet again?"


    "Yes, we meet again." Yan Yan, with a solemn expression, said directly, "I''m here to give a gift to General Zhao."


    Zhao Yun said, "what gift?"


    Yan Yan raised the hand of the black package, hand a shake, black cloth scattered, a head fell on the ground.


    Head rolling, stop on the ground, Zhao Yun see the situation.


    This head is Li Yan''s.


    Zhao Yun is also quite surprised, did not expect that Li Yan was killed. Then Yan Yan''s intention is very clear. Zhao Yun and Lu Su look at each other. They design Li Yan and Yan Yan to fight against each other. Obviously, their goal has been achieved.


    But for now, Zhao Yun will not show it.


    Zhao Yun said: "the general took Li Yan''s head. What''s his plan?"


    Yan Yan said: "I''ve come here to surrender. Li Yan''s head is a petition."


    "Good!"


    Zhao Yun stood up with a smile on his face.


    Yan Yan said, "don''t General Zhao worry that I have two hearts?"


    Zhao Yun said: "Li Yan died in the hands of the general. After the news spread, once Liu Zhang got the news, how could the general deal with himself? The general''s only way out now is to follow my Lord. But Ben will be very curious. Why did the general kill Li Yan? "


    Li Yan and Yan Yan see a contradiction, but Zhao Yun doesn''t know the fuse.


    Yan Yan said: "when I met the mountain forest that day, I didn''t agree to pursue. Li Yan was determined to pursue. After returning to the camp, Li Yan shirked the responsibility on me. He blamed me for thirty army sticks. So far, his ass has not recovered. The soldiers in the army couldn''t see it, so they surrounded Li Yan''s camp and cut off his head. "


    Zhao Yun nodded slightly and said, "if it''s not Li Yan, it''s in the face of Yan Taishou. In this battle, the victory or defeat has not been decided. The defeat in this war was not the fault of empress Yan. "


    Yan Yan said: "defeated generals, how brave?"


    Zhao Yun said, "Mr. Yan, I will welcome you to join us on behalf of my Lord. You will be the prefect under Liu Zhang. Under the Lord, you will be a marquis and a general in the future. "


    Yan Yan said, "I just want to avoid being scolded by the world for being a thief of the Lord."


    Zhao Yun laughed, then turned the conversation and said, "when will the prefect Yan lead the soldiers to surrender?"


    Yan Yan said, "since General Zhao accepts it, you can send someone to take over the army with me immediately." Then he looked at Li mang standing on one side, waved his hand, and Li mang stood up.


    Li mang said: "next, Li Mang, meet general Zhao. This time we came, we brought information about the food and soldiers in the camp, all in the boxes outside the camp tent. "


    "Bring it in!"


    Zhao Yun nodded, and Li mang immediately asked the soldiers to move the box in.When the box was opened, there were rolls of bamboo slips inside.


    Li mang said: "general, please see, all the information of Yizhou barracks has been here."


    Zhao Yun nodded slightly and said, "I know. I will look up these materials one by one. But now, the governor will stay in the camp. He will send someone to arrange a rest for him. As for Li Mang, I will send someone to bring the army with you. "


    "No!"


    Li mang didn''t even think about it, so he agreed directly.


    "Come on, call the boy."


    Zhao Yun gave the order directly.


    Tong Gan is a valiant general under his command. He is brave and resourceful. He can be regarded as the backbone general under his command. After the order was given, Tong Gan came in and said, "see you, general!"


    Zhao Yun said: "Tong Gan, today the governor Yan is leading the army to surrender. You and Li mang together, take a battalion of soldiers to Yizhou military camp, bring all Yizhou soldiers back, ready to accept the reorganization. "


    "Yes


    Tong dares to think not to think, should go down directly.


    Li mang waved his hand and said, "general Tong, please!"


    "Please


    Tong dares to wave a hand, two people left camp.


    Only Zhao Yun, Lu Su and Yan Yan were left in the tent. Yan Yan couldn''t sit down because he had a wound on his buttock. He could only stand and say, "General Zhao, I have a doubt. I don''t know if I should ask?"


    "Zhao yunshou said:" please


    Yan Yan said: "that day, you took the initiative to mention Li Yan, is it intentional to alienate me and Li Yan?"


    Zhao Yun said with a little smile: "before I met him, I would have learned that Liu Zhang had sent Li Yan to be a military adviser. I had already begun to inquire about Yan Yan''s character and personality. I knew that he was headstrong and self righteous. I''m going to stimulate him. "


    "First, the attack on the river is our initiative to show weakness."


    "Second, this will come to fight, but also take the initiative to show weakness, even more alienated Yan and Li Yan. But Li Yan is self righteous. He affirms that he is eager to use his troops, and that he will certainly have conflicts with him. "


    Zhao Yun said with a smile: "so this battle focuses on stratagem, no more fighting. In fact, when they were in the woods that day, they would have had a good chance to defeat the governor Yan in one go. They were just worried that they were in a hurry. When the governor Yan and Li Yan went back, they were united. That''s why I didn''t completely cover up and let you go back. "


    Yan Yan was completely convinced after listening.


    It turns out that in this war, everything is under the control and calculation of the other side. Judging the situation and making use of his strength, he finally broke with Li Yan, so that he came to this step.


    Yan Yan sighed: "the world says that Liu Xiu uses his army like a God. Today, General Zhao uses his army like a ghost."


    Zhao yunpai pointed to Lu Su and said, "it''s the strategy of Lu Su, our military adviser, that''s too much money."


    Yan Yan looks at Lu Su with a shocked expression.


    Lu Su''s expression was calm, and he said: "so tell the governor Yan, I''m just the commander of the third army under the Lord''s command. Under the Lord''s command, the first army had Xu Shu, the second army had Ma Liang, and the Fourth Army had Ma su. In addition, the Lord also has Pang Tong, Jia Xu and other resourceful people. I am not conspicuous under the Lord''s command. "


    Yan Yan heard that he was beaten to pieces and muttered: "there are so many talents under Liu Jingzhou!"


    Lu Su said: "there are more counsellors, but you don''t know. But in troubled times, no talent is a sin. Therefore, it is the most correct move for you to submit to the Lord today. I agree with what General Zhao said just now. If you surrender today, you will become a marquis in the future. "


    Yan Yan arched his hand and said, "thank you for your praise."


    Lu Su laughed and said nothing more.


    Zhao Yun saw that Yan Yan was standing with some difficulty, and knew that Yan Yan could not stand for a long time, so he called the soldiers, took Yan Yan down to rest, and then discussed the next arrangement with Lu su.

 Chapter 564

    Chengdu, the prefecture of animal husbandry.


    Liu Zhang is always worried about the occupation of the front line.


    Zhang Lu in the North doesn''t worry much. He''s an old opponent anyway. It shouldn''t be a big problem to have his son Liu Xun resist. On the contrary, it''s Liu Xiu''s two armies. That''s really a headache.


    Liu Zhang was in a bad mood, and his housekeeper and servants all withered.


    I''m sorry!


    Liu Zhang is in a bad mood. Everyone below is very anxious and wants to make Liu Zhang happy.


    No, you''re singing and dancing.


    The singer danced, the musician played, and the hall was full of joy.


    Liu Zhang looked at the dancing singer with a look of indulgence on his face. He didn''t think about other things for the time being.


    FA Zheng, Zhang Song and others sat at the bottom, also enjoying the song and dance.


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, a valet rushed in.


    The sudden appearance of the attendant made the original music disappear in an instant.


    This scene also shocked countless people in the hall.


    Liu Zhang''s face turned black and said coldly, "what happened?"


    The attendant was also uneasy and said, "your honor, there are sentinels coming back from outside the mansion to report the news that there is urgent intelligence."


    "Bring it in!"


    After hearing the speech, Liu Zhang''s heart sank.


    With a wave of her hand, the singer in the hall stepped down.


    The hall became empty, and Liu Zhang looked solemn and waited quietly.


    After a short time, the sentinel came to the hall, knelt down on one knee, and reported: "my Lord, it''s not good. Wu Yi led 30000 troops to fight Liu Xiu in quren County, and the whole army was destroyed


    Boom!


    Liu Zhang''s brain, a burst of noise.


    In front of my eyes, I felt dizzy, and my heart was trembling.


    The total loss of 30000 troops has had a great impact.


    Liu Zhang asked, "what''s the matter? Wu Yi''s 30000 troops were suddenly defeated. "


    The sentinel also shook his head and said: "the specific information has not yet been inquired. Only when Wu Yi is hit by Liu Xiu''s calculation will he be defeated. According to the information sent back by the sentinel, after Liu Xiu captured Wu Yi, he directly released Wu Yi. Now Wu Yi is on the way back to Chengdu. In addition, all the Yizhou soldiers captured by Liu Xiu were released. "


    After listening to this, Liu Zhang had a strange expression.


    Release Wu Yi!


    Release all the captives!


    What are Liu Xiu''s calculations?


    Liu Zhang waved the sentry to retreat, then looked at Fazheng and asked, "Xiaozhi, what do you think of Liu Xiu''s release of Wu Yi and the soldiers?"


    FA Zheng thought about it and said, "Lord, Liu Xiu is very cunning. His every move, every word and every deed has deep meaning, and it is impossible to do anything that doesn''t matter. So the release of Wu Yi and the soldiers must have deep meaning. "


    Liu Zhang can''t wait to ask: "what''s the meaning?"


    Fazheng said: "first, is Wu Yi still credible? After all, Wu Yi was captured by Liu Xiu and is now released by Liu Xiu. Is there anything fishy about it? "


    "Second, whether the released soldiers were mixed with those arranged by Liu Xiu."


    "Third, does Liu Xiu want to win people''s hearts by releasing soldiers?"


    FA Zheng''s expression was solemn and said, "Lord, all these things must be carefully considered."


    After hearing this, Liu Zhang thought it was true.


    Fazheng''s analysis is quite reasonable.


    Liu Zhang said, "Xiaozhi thinks how to deal with the soldiers and Wu Yi?"


    Fazheng said with a smile: "it''s too early to deal with Wu Yi. After all, he is a general under the Lord. What''s the matter, or wait until general Wu Yi comes back. As for the soldiers who have escaped, they will be placed separately for the time being after they are gathered together to avoid problems. "


    Liu Zhang nodded and said, "yes, that''s it."


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, another attendant came in and said, "my Lord, there are sentinels in Jiangzhou County, Bajun County sending back the war report."


    "Bring it in!"


    In Liu Zhang''s heart, there was a little expectation.


    Li Yan is his confidant, his ability is quite good, and Yan Yan is old and strong.


    If two people cooperate, it should be very successful.


    Soon the sentry came in. It was just the expression on the sentry''s face, but it was a look of deep pain.


    This scene failed Liu Zhang''s original expectation.


    Liu Zhang said coldly, "what happened to Jiangzhou?"


    Sentinel report: "report back, my Lord, after Yan Yan''s army was defeated, the whole army surrendered. Among them, Yan Yan connived at his subordinate Li Mang''s killing Li Yan, then Yan Yan led his troops to surrender. "


    "What?"Liu Zhang stood up with an unbelievable look on his face.


    How can Yan Yan lead the army to surrender?


    Liu Zhang shook his head and said, "Yan Yan is an old minister of Yizhou. He is loyal. How can he surrender? This is absolutely impossible. What''s going on? "


    The sentinel also knew the news. He reported: "at that time, he was fighting with Zhao Yun. The governor Yan asked to avoid but not occupy. The commander Li asked for war. After the beginning of the war, Li was defeated because he was determined to go his own way. When he returned to the camp afterwards, Li Junshi said that it was caused by the lack of cooperation of Yan Taishou. He even blamed Yan Taishou for his thirty army staff and said that he would write a letter to the Lord and ask him to punish him. In a hurry, his subordinates directly led the troops to kill Li Yan. "


    "Son of a bitch!"


    Liu Zhang was so angry that he scolded him. Li Yan was such a jerk.


    Fazheng sat down and heard the sentry''s words. A smile passed by his mouth.


    Sure enough, Li Yan and Yan Yan couldn''t get along.


    This result itself is in the calculation of FA Zheng.


    Zhang song also nodded slightly. He looked sad on his face, but he was also happy in his heart. As a person who has long been on Liu Xiu''s side, Zhang song wants Liu Xiu to come to Chengdu directly.


    Liu Zhang''s heart, also began to worry.


    When the two armies were defeated, he was defeated at the expense of his troops. Now what can he do to resist Liu Xiu?


    For a moment, Liu Xiu couldn''t think of a good way.


    Liu Zhang took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, then looked at Fazheng and said, "Xiaozhi, the situation is so rotten, what do you say to do?"


    The man with outstanding strategy under his command is Fazheng.


    Therefore, Liu Zhang placed all his hopes on Fazheng.


    When Fazheng heard Liu Zhang''s question, the tension on his face gradually disappeared, and he recovered his calm. Then he asked, "my Lord, how many troops do we have in Yizhou?"


    After thinking about it, Liu Zhang replied, "Chengdu is the only place with more than 20000 soldiers. After all, most of the soldiers were sent out. If more troops are needed, they can only be deployed from all over the country. "


    Fazheng said: "my Lord, now that Liu Xiu and Zhao Yun have been killed, it will not help to dispatch soldiers and Chengdu''s troops to resist. Even, on the contrary, it may be broken by each one. "


    "Under such circumstances, we have to shrink our forces."


    "My Lord, take all the troops back and concentrate in Chengdu, and then prepare to fight Liu Xiu."


    Fazheng said: "at the same time of the decisive battle, the Lord also needs to send people to Cao Wei to ask Cao Cao for help. As long as we delay until Cao Cao sends troops to help each other, or Cao Cao attacks Liu Xiu, then our crisis will come into contact. "


    Zhang Song said, "Mr. FA''s proposal is good. I agree with it."


    The rest of them agreed.


    The current situation can not tolerate any relief, so we can only do so.


    Liu Zhang nodded and said, "Xiaozhi, it''s up to you to arrange the deployment of troops. Bring all the troops back to garrison. We will stick to Chengdu and fight Liu Xiu if necessary. At the same time, you also sent people to Cao Cao''s rescue. "


    "Yes


    FA Zheng smiles in his heart. It''s interesting to leave the matter to him.


    It''s a sure thing to do when the troops are transferred back.


    As for sending someone to ask Cao Cao for help, it is naturally sending someone out to make a show.


    When the matter was settled, Liu Zhang was no longer interested in watching the singer dance, so he got up and left. Fazheng, Zhang Song and others left the government one after another to do their own business.

 Chapter 565

    After the order of Fazheng was delivered, all counties and counties received the order and no longer resisted Liu Xiu''s forces.


    Retreat!


    It''s just a retreat, a retreat to Chengdu.


    Everyone understands that Chengdu is shrinking its forces.


    However, everyone knows that this is a helpless move and a matter of last resort.


    At this time, Wu Yi returned to Chengdu.


    Prefecture, hall.


    Liu Zhang summoned Wen Chen and Wu Yi to meet him in person.


    Although Liu Zhang hated Wu Yi''s defeat, Wu Yi was a person who existed in his Laozi period and had a good relationship with the old Liu family. In particular, Wu Yi''s sister married Liu Mao. Although Liu Mao, the third brother, went to see the king of hell early, Wu Yi was also his relative. Therefore, Liu Zhang is still polite.


    Liu Zhang said, "Wu Yi, if you are defeated by Liu Xiu, you still have the face to come back to see me."


    Wu Yi flopped down on her knees and said, "Lord, although the final general was defeated, he tried his best to resist. It''s just that Liu Xiu is so cunning


    Liu Zhang said, "why did Liu Xiu let you back after you were captured?"


    Wu Yi said: "because Liu Xiu let his humble position bring back words."


    Wu Yi also thought about whether to say what Liu Xiu asked him to bring. If not, why should Liu Xiu let him go? I''m afraid Liu Zhang won''t like it. He made it up, but he was afraid that Liu Zhang would not believe it.


    Liu Zhang''s expression is solemn, ask a way: "say, Liu Xiu lets you bring what words to come back?"


    Wu Yi''s expression was indecisive and hesitant.


    "Say it


    Liu Zhang''s heart was full of anger. Seeing Wu Yi''s hesitation, he was even more angry.


    Wu Yi was startled. She didn''t dare to say anything. She immediately said, "Lord, Liu Xiu asked you to wash your neck and wait."


    Brush!


    The expression on Liu Zhang''s face immediately changed.


    There was more anger in his eyes.


    Wash your neck and wait?


    He Liu xiusuan old, let him wash clean?


    Liu Zhang''s anger rose up. When he looked at Wu Yi, there was no longer a trace of forbearance. At this moment, all his anger broke out.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    Just then, a valet came in in a hurry.


    The attendant came to Liu Zhang and said in a low voice, "my Lord, the prisoners of Liu Xiu have come back one after another. After these prisoners came back, they publicized how powerful and good Liu Xiu was. Liu Xiu released them and gave them food. He also said that Liu Xiu is invincible. I''m afraid we can''t stop him. "


    Liu Zhang was already in the middle of his anger, which made him even more angry.


    In particular, Wu Yi is responsible for this.


    Liu Zhang waved his hand to let the servant step down, and his eyes were fixed on Wu Yi, already shining with cold light.


    A trace of the intention of killing permeated Liu Zhang''s body.


    Liu Zhang said coldly, "Wu Yi, you have the face to come back to see me when you are defeated with 30000 troops. Why don''t people like you die! Come on, drag Wu Yi down and chop him down. "


    Wu Yi was so scared that she turned pale and said, "my Lord, please forgive me


    But Liu Zhang didn''t change his mind and said coldly, "drag it down!" The soldiers came up and dragged Wu Yi down by force. Soon, there was a scream.


    Liu Zhang looked at the civil and military officials under his command and said coldly, "Wu Yi is a lesson from the past. I hope that you will try your best to resist Liu Xiu, otherwise, there will be no amnesty for your death."


    "No!"


    When they heard the words, they all answered in unison.


    Just one by one in the heart, frightened at the same time, but each has his own mind.


    After the crowd dispersed, Liu Zhang sat alone in the hall, agitated. In the afternoon when he killed Wu Yi, news spread in the city. Many soldiers who fled back said that Wu Yi would rather die than surrender after being captured, and that he was a loyal general. It''s a pity that Liu Zhang killed him now.


    When the news came out, it immediately caused a storm.


    Many people think that Liu Zhang is a fool.


    Yizhou officials'' hearts are also cold.


    For a time, the estrangement between Yizhou monarchs and ministers was further deepened. When the turmoil occurred in Yizhou and Chengdu, Liu Xiu and Zhao Yun both led their troops to Chengdu quickly.


    Zhao Yun, on the one hand, has Yan Yan, who is originally the prefect of Bajun. After his surrender, he came forward, and the counties of Bajun came back one after another, so the road was smooth.


    Liu Xiu was also smooth, and the counties along the way gave up resistance one after another.


    Dangqu County, Guanghan county and other places are all obedient.


    All the way through Bajun and Guanghan, and finally into Shu County, and then through Xindu County, and finally into Chengdu. As soon as Liu Xiu''s army entered Chengdu County, it caused a sensation.


    Because the real showdown is already open.


    However, Liu Xiu became more and more calm.At night, the army camped to rest.


    Chinese army big account!


    Liu Xiu, Pang Tong and Jia Xu sat together with a solemn expression.


    Three people sit together, naturally is to discuss how to break the city.


    "Newspaper!"


    While the three were discussing, Deng Zhan came in and reported: "Lord, the army led by General Zhao Yun has arrived."


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu has a smile on his face. I didn''t expect that Zhao Yun would arrive so soon.


    Liu Xiu got up and said, "go, welcome Zhao Yun!"


    After they got out of the camp, they came to the gate of the camp. After a short time, I saw a torch burning on the official road in the dark. In the light of the fire, an army was coming quickly.


    This army is the one led by Zhao Yun and Lu su.


    When the army came to the gate of the camp, Zhao Yun turned over and dismounted. He came to Liu Xiu''s body and said: "finally, General Zhao Yun, meet the Lord."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Zilong, after years of absence, you are more and more calm and brave."


    Zhao Yun said, "my Lord, I''m wrong."


    Lu Su also came forward and said, "Su, I''d like to see you."


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "Zijing, you are doing very well in the third army. It was a beautiful fight, too. "


    Lu Su said calmly: "it''s the Lord''s early layout that can lead to today''s results. What I''m doing is just to operate a little bit on the basis of the layout of the Lord. "


    Zhao Yun answered and said, "Lord, I will introduce Yan Yan to you."


    A wave of hands, Yan Yan came up: "Yan Yan, meet Liu Jingzhou."


    Liu Xiu nodded his head slightly and said, "the old general is very strong, very good. On the way to March, Zijing wrote a letter about the old general. "


    Yan Yan smiles and doesn''t say much.


    Liu Xiu said, "Zilong, you and Zijing will settle down the soldiers immediately, and then come to our camp to discuss business."


    "No!"


    Zhao Yun got the order and arranged it quickly.


    Liu Xiu and others also returned to the camp. At this time, not only Pang Tong and Jia Xu were in the camp, but also wenpin, Xu Shu, Chen Dao, Zhao Yun and Lu Su, who had just arrived.


    Liu Xiu looked at the people under his command and said in a deep voice, "now that everyone is here, let''s discuss how to attack Chengdu. Before that, some of you knew Fazheng, and some of you did not. I can tell you that Fazheng and Zhang song, the counsellors under Liu Zhang, have long been subordinated to me. So we have to make full use of them in this war. "


    Chen Dao looked surprised. He didn''t know the news.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiulian, Fazheng and Zhang Song accepted it. It''s really shocking.


    Jia Xu smile, said: "Lord, with Zhang Song and Fazheng, there is a very simple way."


    "What can I do?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Jia Xu replied: "let Fazheng encourage Liu Zhang to lead troops to resist US, while Fazheng and Zhang Song stay in the city. When Liu Zhang led his troops to the front line to resist, he asked Fazheng to change his flag. Liu Zhang lost his rear and collapsed without fighting. "


    Pang Tong said: "I agree with Mr. Jia''s suggestion. But I''m afraid the operation is not easy. Liu Zhang is fatuous and afraid of death. Does he dare to lead the army? "


    Jia Xu laughed and said, "as long as Fazheng is eloquent, he will be successful."


    Xu Shu''s expression was calm, and he took over the words: "I also agree with Mr. Jia''s plan. I just think that Fazheng''s strategy is the first step. The second step is to attack Chengdu according to the normal March. Even if Fazheng''s strategy fails, we will attack Chengdu as well. "


    Lu Su opened his mouth and said: "I also agree with the parallel arrangement of the two policies. On the one hand, let Fazheng do it. On the other hand, we also led our troops to fight and further approached Chengdu. "


    All the people spoke one word at a time.


    After listening to the suggestions of the people, Liu Xiu coughed twice, and he was quiet in the tent.


    Everyone''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said: "this war is based on two parallel strategies. First, send someone to contact Fazheng and ask him to encourage Liu Zhang to resist in person. Second, after the confluence, the army will rest for one day and continue to approach Chengdu early the day after tomorrow."


    "No!"


    When they heard the words, they answered in unison.


    After careful deliberation on some specific details, all of them retired late at night.


    Everyone went to have a rest, but Liu Xiu was lying on the bed, but he couldn''t sleep.


    Over and over again, Liu Xiu simply put on his clothes, then went out of the camp and took a walk outside. But after a short walk, Pang Tong sat not far away, drinking and looking at the stars in the sky.


    Liu Xiu went to sit down and said, "Shiyuan, why haven''t you had a rest yet?"


    Pang Tong said, "the Lord has no rest."


    "I can''t sleep," Liu said


    Pang Tong said, "I can''t sleep either."


    Liu Xiu asked, "why?"Pang Tong had a thoughtful look on his face and said, "I''m just thinking that I''ve been following my Lord for several years. From the beginning, step by step, even Yizhou will be conquered. When Yizhou was captured, the overlord of the Lord laid the foundation. For a few years, it''s like a world away! "


    Liu Xiu raised a smile and said, "yes, too many things have happened in recent years."


    He came from the village and became a concubine in his family.


    Liu Xiu through his own efforts, little by little forward, so that today''s achievements. However, it is not easy for Liu Xiu to come along this road. Many people like Pang Tong and Pang Degong are holding it, which is why Liu Xiu is today.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "Shiyuan, you are a little old. When do you plan to get married?"


    Pang Tong was stunned and said, "why did the Lord suddenly mention this?"


    This change is too fast for Pang Tong.


    Liu Xiu smile, said: "the teacher once sent a letter to me, let me care about your personal problems."


    Pang Tong waved his hand and said impatiently: "don''t listen to the teacher. I will pay attention to my own affairs. Well, when I meet a suitable one, I''ll go to the main public insurance agency. "


    Liu Xiu said, "that''s settled."


    "Well!"


    Pang Tong nodded. He was afraid that Liu Xiu would mention anything more about his marriage. He found a reason and quickly slipped away.


    Liu Xiu transferred in the camp and went back to the camp.

 Chapter 566

    Fazheng residence, study.


    The news of Liu Xiu''s arrival has spread to Chengdu, and Fazheng has also been informed.


    But Fazheng didn''t act rashly. He was waiting for news, waiting for news from Liu Xiu. He must be involved in the final decisive battle, so FA is waiting.


    In the study, FA is sorting out the latest news.


    Because Li Yan and Wu Yi were killed, the burden on Fazheng and Zhang song was much heavier.


    Many things need to be dealt with by Fazheng.


    Although busy, Fazheng''s heart is full of expectations, because his undercover work is coming to an end.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A quick step came, and the housekeeper came in.


    The housekeeper bowed his hand and said, "my Lord, someone outside the mansion asked to see him. He said that he was his old friend."


    "Please


    FA Zheng''s brow was picked, and there was a trace of expectation on his face.


    The housekeeper went down to convey the news. Soon, a handsome young man came in.


    This person is no other than Huo Jun.


    Huo Jun stood in the study, looked left and right, but did not speak. FA Zheng heard the string song and knew his elegance. He said, "I have something important to discuss. No one will see me."


    "No!"


    The housekeeper retired and closed the door again.


    "Sit down!"


    Fazheng waved his hand to show Huo Jun to take a seat.


    After sitting down, Huo Jun said, "I''ve met Mr. FA."


    Fazheng nodded slightly. When Liu Zhang attacked Wu County in the past, Huojun met Fazheng in Yufu county. At that time, they knew each other. This time, Liu Xiu sent Huo Jun here, also considering that Fazheng knew Huo Jun.


    Fazheng said, "the LORD sent you. What can I do for you?"


    With a smile on his face, Huo Jun said: "the Lord has made up his strategy. Mr. Liu will go to persuade Liu Zhang and let Liu Zhang personally lead his troops to meet the Lord. Then, Mr. Zhang and Zhang Song stayed in Chengdu and convinced the soldiers to change their flags and surrender. "


    "Hiss!"


    When Fazheng heard the words, he couldn''t help taking a cold breath.


    It''s not easy.


    Liu Zhang is as timid as a mouse. It will be very difficult for him to lead his troops to fight.


    Huo Jun saw the look on FA Zheng''s face and said with a smile, "the Lord has said something about the plan that Mr. Wang has carried out. If you can succeed, you can succeed. If you can''t succeed, it doesn''t matter. The main guild will attack Chengdu with its troops. "


    As soon as FA Zheng heard this, he couldn''t bear it. He immediately said, "don''t worry, I will persuade Liu Zhang to lead the army."


    "Good!"


    The corners of Huo Jun''s mouth rose and a smile bloomed on his face.


    It''s done!


    Since Fazheng has boasted of Haikou, Fazheng will go all out to complete it.


    Huo Jun got up and said, "now that my husband has decided, I will go back and reply to the Lord."


    FA Zhengdao: "walk slowly, but don''t send me away!"


    Huo Jun bowed his hand and left. Fazheng sat alone in his study. After thinking for a moment, he said, "come on, prepare the carriage. I''m going to Zhang Song''s house."


    "No!"


    The valet went down and got ready.


    Fazheng went back to his backyard to change his clothes, went out of the house and took a carriage to Zhang Song''s house.


    After entering the study, the guest and host take their seats.


    Zhang Song stroked the goatee under his jaw and said, "what''s the matter with Xiaozhi''s visit?" At this point, his body slightly forward, that face with a touch of expectation: "is the Lord has action?"


    Fazheng nodded solemnly.


    Zhang song was overjoyed and said, "what is the master going to do?"


    All along, Zhang Song and FA Zheng are hidden in the dark. Today, Liu Xiu finally enters Chengdu and approaches Chengdu. As long as Liu Xiu takes Chengdu, Zhang Song''s identity as an undercover will disappear, and he can work under Liu Xiu''s command.


    Fazheng replied: "the LORD sent someone to send a message. Let''s persuade Liu Zhang to lead the troops to fight. Then we will stay in Chengdu, change our flag and surrender directly. My Lord''s plan is to take this opportunity to subdue others without fighting. Once Chengdu city changed its flag, Liu Zhang had a lord in front of him, but he had no way back, so he had to surrender. "


    Zhang Song rubbed his chin with a dignified look in his eyes.


    It is not easy to persuade Liu Zhang to fight in person.


    Zhang Song said, "what are you going to do?"


    Fazheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "what else can we do? Naturally, we should go all out to strive for success."


    Hearing the speech, Zhang Song said, "this is not a joke. We have to discuss it carefully. We can''t make any mistakes. In particular, this is the last battle of the Lord''s attack on Jingzhou. We have done well, and we can have a better foothold in the future under the Lord''s command. "


    Fazheng said, "what do you think?"


    Zhang Song thought for a moment and said, "why don''t you advise Liu Zhang to take the initiative, but I''m against it. Let''s do a play in front of Liu Zhang and let him fight. "


    FA Zheng said with a light smile: "brother ziqiao, your abacus is really good."Zhang Song said: "there''s nothing I don''t master. I just don''t have as much sense of filial piety as you. And the weight in Liu Zhang''s heart is more important for you. It is the most appropriate choice to persuade Liu Zhang to fight. "


    "Well, I agree."


    Fazheng listened to Zhang Song''s praise, but he didn''t refuse.


    He has to lead the matter.


    Zhang Song smiles. As long as Fazheng agrees, things will be easy to operate.


    Two people discuss together in the study, it took half an hour to confirm this matter, then Zhang Song went back to his house, and FA Zheng stayed at home.


    In the morning of the next day, Fazheng went to the Prefecture by himself.


    When he came to the yamen, Fazheng met Liu Zhang and bowed himself.


    Liu Zhang said with a smile, "Xiaozhi, I''m looking for you. I didn''t expect you to come early in the morning." Although he was smiling, there was a look of worry in his eyes.


    Fazheng said, "what''s your order, Lord?"


    Liu Zhang asked, "what''s the news about the people you sent to ask Cao Cao for help?"


    Fazheng hears the speech and nods in his heart. Does Liu Zhang find that the person he sent out to ask for help is fake. But he did send out, only people turned back on the way.


    But in any case, it is impossible for law to take the initiative to tell the situation.


    Fazheng''s expression was solemn and said: "return to my Lord, there is no news yet. On the one hand, Liu Xiu controlled the way out of Sichuan. On the other hand, the time is too short for any message to be sent back. "


    After hearing this, Liu Zhang nodded slightly and said, "Liu Xiu has hit the door of his house. We must hurry up!"


    Fazheng was relieved when he heard the speech.


    Liu Zhang''s words of inquiry are just daily care.


    Liu Zhang continued: "you come to find me. What can I do for you?"


    Fazheng said, "I''m here to ask my Lord to lead the troops to fight against Liu Xiu."


    "Ah


    After hearing this, Liu Zhang couldn''t help exclaiming in amazement. His face was full of amazement and shock. He didn''t expect that Fazheng would make such an unreliable suggestion.


    In Liu Zhang''s view, Liu Xiu is a monster.


    It is very difficult to resist Liu Xiuhui. With the strength of Liu Zhang, it is impossible to succeed.


    Liu Zhang''s subconscious resistance to Fazheng''s proposal.


    Liu Zhang shook his head and said: "Xiaozhi, Liu Xiu personally led the troops to kill him. He was very fierce. This man is too strong to resist. My official led the troops to fight with Liu Xiu. Once they were defeated, it would affect the whole situation. It even led to the rout of the whole army. I''m afraid such an arrangement is inappropriate. "


    Fazheng looked serious and shook his head. "Lord, I think it''s necessary to go out in person. For the Lord, it is the most suitable choice at present. "


    "Why?" Liu Zhang asked.


    Liu Zhang believed in Fazheng very much. Now that Fazheng believed in swearing, Liu Zhang is also very cautious.


    Fazheng said: "I say so for three reasons."


    Just as FA was about to speak, Liu Zhang interrupted: "don''t worry, since it''s about the issue of going to war. I''ll get someone to talk about it. Come on


    In an instant, a valet came in.


    Fazheng looked in his eyes, and he laughed in his heart. Before he came, he decided that Liu Zhang could not only listen to his advice, but would certainly call the rest of the people to consult.


    Liu Zhang said, "inform Zhang Song and Liu Ba immediately, and invite them to come to the prefecture for deliberation."


    "No!"


    The attendant got the order and immediately went to give the notice.


    About two quarters of an hour, Zhang Song and Liu Ba came to the hall in a hurry. They bowed to Liu Zhang. And Zhang Song and FA Zheng look at each other, a smile in their eyes.

 Chapter 567

    Liu Zhang looked at Zhang Song and Liu Ba and said, "just now Fazheng came to our officer and said that he suggested our officer to lead the army to fight against Liu Xiu. I have called you here to discuss this matter. "


    "Lord, I''m against you."


    Zhang Song didn''t even think about it, so he opposed it directly.


    At the moment, he glared, with a face that he couldn''t bear to look directly at, which was quite frightening. In particular, his eyes, more like a murderous, to kill the law is general.


    Zhang Song turned to FA Zheng and said, "Fa Xiaozhi, you can be punished. Lord, please kill Fazheng. "


    The murderous words made Liu Zhang quite happy.


    Zhang songchou is ugly, but he is loyal, which is what he values most about him. Especially when I stand with Zhang song, I always feel very comfortable in my heart. I always feel that I''m handsome and elegant, and I''m in a strange mood.


    Liu Ba stood aside, but did not speak.


    As for the current situation, Liu Ba asked himself that he was unable to return to heaven.


    In this case, it is extremely difficult to turn over.


    But if we do not resist, we are not reconciled.


    In a word, in Liu BA''s eyes, Liu Zhang is a person who is sitting and waiting to die. It''s just a matter of whether he will die sooner or later. Therefore, Liu baganjui did not speak and quietly waited for the news.


    After listening to Zhang Song''s words and thinking for a moment, Liu Zhang said, "Fazheng, what do you think of Zhang Song''s words?"


    Fazheng said: "Lord, I think Zhang song is a bunch of nonsense."


    Zhang Song immediately said, "you are the one who can be punished. When Liu Xiu''s army was out, would it not be a trap for him to attack Liu Xiu? Fazheng, you said, "you are not the one who can be punished. What is that?"


    Fazheng shook his head and said, "pedantic view!"


    Zhang Song said, "you are pedantic!"


    Fazheng continued: "Zhang song, you are blind, but you don''t impose your thoughts on me."


    Zhang Song said, "you have ulterior motives."


    The two men began to fight, just like the vegetable market.


    Liu Zhang was very satisfied with the result. It was not clear whether it was reasonable or not. After the debate, it became clear. Liu Zhang''s eyes were solemn and he said, "be quiet!"


    At a command, Fazheng and Zhang Song stopped talking.


    Liu Zhang said, "now let Fazheng speak. He said that there are three reasons for our officers to send troops. Listen to him and then talk about it."


    "Yes


    Hearing the speech, Zhang Song bowed his hands.


    Fazheng chin slightly up, provocative look at Zhang song. The air made Zhang Song gnash his teeth. Only Liu Ba stood aside, watching Fazheng and Zhang Song bicker. On the contrary, he had an interesting look and a posture of watching a play.


    Fazheng raised his right index finger and said, "Lord, the first reason is to ensure the material supply in Chengdu."


    "In today''s situation, we are trapped in Chengdu. Once Liu Xiu leads his troops to the city, Chengdu will be surrounded by groups, and all the food and grass channels will be cut off. Even if there is food in the city, it is impossible to support it for a long time. "


    "If the Lord leads the army to the front line and the army confronts Liu Xiu, then Chengdu in the rear of the army can also transfer grain from other places to ensure the reorganization of the grain road."


    Fazheng said, "if we don''t move our troops, we''ll go ahead with food and grass. Once we don''t even have food and grass, can we fight this war? Even if it''s defense, I''m afraid it won''t last long


    After listening, Liu Zhang also nodded slightly.


    Indeed, once Chengdu is surrounded on all sides and is just a lonely city, it will be really dangerous. As long as Liu Xiu can be kept in the front line, Chengdu in the rear will not be in danger.


    Liu Zhang was quite satisfied with Fazheng''s first reason, but it was not enough for him to go out in person.


    Liu Zhang said, "go on!"


    Fazheng expression calm, continue to say: "second, boost morale."


    "Today''s situation is so bad that counties and counties surrender and no longer resist. Only the troops in Chengdu can resist Liu Xiu. "


    "But even if it''s a garrison, people are in a panic for fear that Liu Xiu will kill him."


    "At this time, how can we improve the morale? How can all the soldiers resist Liu Xiu? "


    "The only way is for the Lord to go out and raise his morale."


    Fazheng continued: "the advantage of the Lord''s going to fight in person can make the soldiers think that the Lord is not at the end of his tether, and there is still hope to follow him. As the saying goes, the icing on the cake is better than sending charcoal in the snow. These soldiers are fighting with their Lord now. Once they beat Liu Xiu, the benefits they get will be endless, so they are willing to fight. "


    For this reason, Liu Zhang is noncommittal.


    Can morale serve as a meal?


    Can morale really resist Liu Xiu? In front of Liu Xiu, I''m afraid morale will not work.


    Liu Zhang just faintly said, "go on!"Fazheng looked at his words and knew that what he had just said had not been taken seriously by Liu Zhang. However, Fazheng is not in a hurry, because in his plan, the first two points are used as foreshadowing.


    Fazheng continued: "the third point is to prepare for the surrender of Liu Xiu."


    As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhang suddenly changed his mind.


    Zhang Song and Liu BA''s eyes also showed an incredible look.


    Liu Zhang said coldly, "Fazheng, if you don''t make it clear to me, I''m afraid I will kill you as Zhang Song said."


    The tone is cold, which makes people feel cold.


    At the moment, Liu Zhang is already a volcano about to erupt, full of anger.


    Tangtang Yizhou shepherd, how can he surrender to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Zhang controlled Yizhou himself, but the imperial court couldn''t control him. If the emperor was far away from Tiangao, he was the local emperor. Such a day, particularly comfortable, how can Liu Xiu break it?


    Once Liu Xiu is subordinated, it really depends on his face.


    Fazheng is not impatient, said: "Lord, and listen to the next detailed way."


    "In order to prepare for Liu Xiu''s surrender, Cao Wei''s reinforcements didn''t arrive at last, but we had to surrender to Liu Xiu when we were at the end of our tether


    "I understand that everyone here can surrender, but the Lord cannot."


    "Because when we surrender to Liu Xiu, we can still enjoy the glory and wealth."


    "But what about the Lord? Once the Lord surrendered to Liu Xiu, he was a bird in the cage and was controlled by Liu Xiu everywhere. It must be impossible to be free. "


    Fazheng''s tone was sincere, which moved Liu Zhang.


    The anger on Liu Zhang''s face disappeared. Instead, he looked appreciative. He thought that Fazheng was very clear and thorough. Everyone can surrender, but he can''t. That''s a good thing!


    For a moment, Liu Zhang calmed down and listened to Fazheng.


    Fazheng continued: "there is a reason why we are prepared to surrender to Liu Xiu. My lord led the army to resist Liu Xiu, which was enough to show my Lord''s ability and courage, and let Liu Xiu see that my Lord can''t be intimidated. "


    "If the Lord blocks Liu Xiu, or delays the arrival of reinforcements, everything will be easy to say and everyone will be happy."


    "What if it fails?"


    "The Lord has to think about himself and prepare for the future."


    Fazheng looked solemn and said: "the way to go is for the Lord to show his strong side and let Liu Xiu think that the Lord is not a weak man. Otherwise, the Lord will be waiting for Liu Xiu in Chengdu, and Liu Xiu will think that the Lord has little effect and kill him. "


    "On the contrary, the Lord''s leading the army to resist would make Liu Xiu afraid."


    "Whether it''s for the sake of public opinion or the ability of the Lord, Liu Xiu will treat him better."


    After finishing what Fazheng said, he finally said, "I''m not saying surrender in the true sense. If the Lord wants to kill him, there is nothing to be said about his humble position. I''m loyal to my Lord. That''s what I say. If you are not loyal to your Lord, why should you make him unhappy? "


    "Good!"


    After listening, Liu Zhang couldn''t help clapping and making friends.


    That''s a good thing to say.


    At this time, Liu Zhang also thought that Fazheng was right. In the final analysis, what he valued was his own life. He thought that he could save his life, so he accepted Fazheng''s analysis.


    FA Zheng looked at Zhang Song and said, "Zhang ziqiao, what else do you have to say?"


    Zhang Song sighed: "I have nothing to say!"


    Fazheng turned to Liu Zhang and said, "Lord, it''s up to you now. Everything is decided by the Lord. After all, it''s the Lord''s land. "


    Liu Zhang big sleeve a brush, way: "good, I personally lead the army to meet."

 Chapter 568

    Fazheng''s expression was solemn, and he said, "Lord, there is only one more problem."


    "What''s the problem?"


    Liu Zhang asked. He thought that FA was a loyal minister, so he thought that everything was right.


    Fazheng said: "the Lord took his army to the front line to resist. Naturally, he was mainly defensive and refused Liu Xiu''s army. But the Lord is no longer in Chengdu. He still needs someone who can rest assured to stay in Chengdu. Otherwise, when the LORD goes to the front line, no one will sit in the rear, which will lead to trouble. After all, if the Lord can''t resist in the front line, he has to come back to defend


    "Yes


    There was a light in Liu Zhang''s eyes, and his face was full of recognition.


    The front needs to resist and the rear needs to be stable.


    Liu Zhang''s eyes fell on FA Zheng. In terms of the people under his command, FA is absolutely reliable. Liu Zhang didn''t even think about it and said, "Fazheng, I will leave you to guard Chengdu."


    FA just seemed quite surprised and said, "Lord, I always follow you in my humble position."


    You don''t have to go this time. After all, I didn''t go to the front line to fight, but mainly to resist Liu Xiu. I don''t ask for meritorious service, but for no fault, so you don''t have to worry. "


    Fazheng hesitated for a moment and said, "in this way, I will take the order. It''s not proper to stay alone in a humble position. Let Zhang Song stay. If he thinks that the humble proposal is inappropriate, he will supervise it. I don''t expect that Zhang song will doubt his humble position. "


    After hearing this, Liu Zhang said with emotion: "Xiaozhi, you are really a sincere gentleman!"


    Fazheng said, "if you are promoted by the former Lord, if you are promoted by the Lord, you will never be able to repay your kindness. I do everything for the Lord. "


    "Good! Well said


    Liu Zhang''s face was full of smile and appreciation.


    If everyone under his command is like Fazheng, it would be a good thing.


    Liu Zhang''s eyes fell on Zhang Song and said, "ziqiao, you will stay and help Fazheng deal with Chengdu."


    "No!"


    Zhang song took a look at Fazheng and said, "Lord, I will help Fazheng well."


    Liu Zhang looked at Liu Ba again, thought about it, and said, "Liu Ba, you also stay here to assist FA in dealing with the government affairs in Chengdu. My officer led the army to resist Liu Xiu. It only needed the generals in the army. "


    "Yes


    Liu Ba nodded.


    For this war, Liu Ba can not go to the front line, that is naturally the best thing. Go to the front line to fight. In case of war, it''s not worthwhile to die in it.


    With a wave of his hand, Liu Zhang asked the people to step down, and then called the generals together.


    Half a day later, Liu Zhang led his troops out of the city and ran to the front line.


    ¡­¡­


    Jingzhou army, camp.


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    When Liu XiuXiu was reading the government affairs submitted by wenpin, Deng Zhan came in in a hurry. Deng Zhan''s face was full of bright smile. He said with a smile, "good news, good news!"


    "What''s the good news?"


    Liu Xiu was immersed in government affairs and didn''t respond for a moment.


    Deng Zhan said: "Liu Zhang has sent troops, and the news from the front line is that Liu Zhang has exhausted his troops. From this point of view, Fazheng and Zhang song have completed the task. "


    Liu Xiu said, "Fazheng has lived up to his expectations."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "please come to the big account."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan bowed and bowed, then retired.


    Liu Xiu sat in the camp with a smile on his face. Liu Zhang went out to fight, and the outcome of the battle was decided.


    Not long after, wenpin came to the camp.


    Liu Xiu had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "general Wen, just now I got the news that Liu Zhang has personally led the army to fight. It''s time for the war to end. "


    Wenpin said, "please give me an order!"


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "once Liu Zhang''s army arrived, he immediately led the army to advance, and then spread the news that Fazheng and Zhang song had already surrendered and began to pursue and kill Liu Zhang."


    "No!"


    Wenpin was also very excited, so he went to arrange it.


    ¡­¡­


    Liu Zhang led his army to fight. It took him a day to meet Liu Xiu''s army.


    The two sides camped separately, less than ten miles away. No matter how far the other side camped, Liu Zhang just ordered the soldiers to build fortifications and prepare to defend.


    For the rest, Liu Zhang didn''t think about it at all.


    Go to war?


    Forget it!


    Honest resistance!


    Liu Zhang didn''t have the idea to defeat Liu Xiu. He also had self-knowledge. His ability to March and fight was so ordinary that it was impossible for him to go to war with Liu Xiu.


    Chinese army big account!


    Liu Zhang is sitting in the tent, reading a book.


    However, the book that Liu Zhang read was not a book about the strategy of governing the country, nor a book about marching and fighting, but a book about the relationship between his uncle and his sister-in-law that he spent a lot of time looking for.It''s dirty in the inside and can''t be detailed.


    On the contrary, it was Liu Zhang who enjoyed it and thought it was easy to pass the time.


    "Dong! Dong


    Suddenly, the sound of war drums came from outside.


    "Ah


    The sudden sound of war drums startled Liu Zhang. He quickly put away his books, then quickly put on his armor and left the camp. At the same time, the general in the camp also quickly gathered the soldiers.


    Liu Zhang nodded his head with satisfaction.


    The reaction speed of soldiers is quite good.


    Liu Zhang pressed his left hand on the hilt of the sword, held his head high and came to the gate of the camp.


    Looking around, you can see the smoke and dust rolling on the official road, and the army is coming fast. Accompanied by the sound of war drums, it is awe inspiring.


    Liu Zhang looked in his eyes and waited quietly.


    After a short time, the Jingzhou army finally stopped a hundred paces away from the camp outside the city.


    After the army arrayed, there was a handsome and elegant young man at the front. This young man is Liu Xiu. Dressed in armour and with a team of soldiers from the royal guards, he drove his horse forward.


    Fifty steps from the camp, Liu Xiu stopped.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on the camp and said in a loud voice: "Liu Zhang, you led the army to resist in person. It''s just can you resist it? In Yufu County in the past, your army was vulnerable. Today, do you think the soldiers under your command can resist it? "


    Liu Zhang didn''t go out in the camp. When he heard Liu Xiu''s words, he said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, if you can resist it, you will have to try. You have been able to have a smooth journey before. I let you come to Chengdu. Hum, you stop here when you meet my official today. "


    Although Liu Xiu was powerful, Liu Zhang could not lose his momentum.


    After listening to Liu Zhang''s reply, Liu Xiu burst out laughing and said, "Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang, you really know how to talk big, and you are not afraid of the wind."


    Liu Zhang replied, "Liu Xiu, in order to stop you this time, I have led 40000 elites to come here. Even if it''s a tough fight, I''m not afraid of you. "


    At this time, Liu Zhang had brought all his soldiers.


    Forty thousand elite were Liu Zhang''s last troops.


    There are very few soldiers left in Chengdu, and they are all old and weak without combat effectiveness.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Liu Zhang, you still don''t understand what I mean. How can you resist me if you are such a fool? Haven''t you ever thought about why Fazheng suddenly advised you to lead troops to resist? Don''t you ever doubt it? "


    Boom!


    Liu Zhang''s brain suddenly exploded.


    In front of my eyes, there was a blank.


    A little bit of bad feeling, in the heart of Liu Zhang breeding out.


    Is


    The idea of Fazheng surrendering to Liu Xiu emerged in Liu Zhang''s mind, but he immediately denied it. Liu Zhang''s expression is solemn, way: "Liu Xiu, you don''t want to bewitch people."


    No matter how peaceful Liu Zhang''s state of mind before, but at this time, he was suddenly agitated and worried. What if, what if Fazheng surrendered? What should he do.


    Liu Xiu continued: "Liu Zhang, it seems that you already have a clear understanding. Yes, Fazheng and Zhang song have already been subordinated to our officials. The city of Chengdu behind you is already rebellious. Now, Chengdu City belongs to my official. "


    "No way!"


    Liu Zhang roared, with a ferocious look on his face.


    He didn''t believe, or even didn''t want to believe, that such a thing would be true.


    At this time, the generals and soldiers around Liu Zhang were shocked. The news spread quickly among the soldiers like a plague.

 Chapter 569

    "Da! Dada


    Liu Xiu turned his horse around and was about to return to the army.


    Liu Zhang roared: "Liu Xiu, you are not allowed to go!"


    Liu Xiu heard Liu Zhang''s cry and stopped. He looked at Liu Zhang again and suddenly began to laugh. It''s really disappointing that Liu Zhang made such a move in front of countless soldiers.


    But Liu Zhang opened his eyes and said, "you said that you are deliberately disturbing the morale of our army, right?"


    All the generals under Liu Zhang shook their heads.


    As a coach, how can you say such a thing?


    In particular, this kind of tone is completely an expression of believing Liu Xiu''s words. You know, Liu Zhang is the commander in chief of the army. Even Liu Zhang has lost his composure. Who else can trust him?


    Liu Xiu replied, "I always treat people with sincerity. Liu Zhang, if you don''t believe it, you can send soldiers back to have a look! Or, you can withdraw and return to Chengdu now to confirm the news. "


    After that, Liu Xiu stopped talking to Liu Zhang and went back.


    As soon as Liu Xiu returned to the front of the battle, he waved his hand and saw teams of archers coming out. All archers bend their bows to take arrows, but this bow is different. It''s tied with a note on the shaft.


    "Whew! Whew


    The soldiers arched, and the feather arrows shot out quickly. They crossed an arc in the air and flew to the camp of Yizhou army.


    When Liu Zhang saw the bow and arrow coming, he roared, "resist, resist."


    There was a look of fear in Liu Zhang''s eyes.


    He hid among the soldiers and watched them wave their weapons to resist the attack from bows and arrows.


    "Puchi! Wheezing


    A round of arrow rain fell, and many soldiers were injured by arrows.


    However, many soldiers blocked the bows and arrows, and found the notes on the bows and arrows.


    "Oh, there''s a note on the bow and arrow."


    "Well, it says that Fazheng and Zhang song have both worked, and that Liu Xiuzhi defeated Wu Yi because Fazheng leaked the news, which led to Wu Yi''s defeat."


    "Fazheng is an undercover, hateful!"


    "Oh, Chengdu is controlled by Fazheng. What shall we do?"


    The soldiers in the army picked up the bows and arrows that fell on the ground one after another. After checking the notes on the bows and arrows, they all changed their faces greatly. If the dialogue between Liu Xiu and Liu Zhang just now was heard by the soldiers and let some soldiers know. Now, with the large-scale bow and arrow shooting, the news has spread completely and can no longer be concealed.


    The expressions on the faces of the soldiers were astonished.


    In the hearts of the soldiers, they were even more anxious.


    When Liu Xiu was killed in Chengdu, the soldiers in Yizhou were already afraid. Now that we know that Fazheng and Zhang song have surrendered, it''s really bad news.


    When the morale of the army was floating, Liu Xiu began to withdraw.


    However, after Liu Xiu withdrew his troops, he actually shortened the distance between the two sides, making the distance between the two sides only four Li.


    This distance is quite close.


    Obviously, Liu Xiu''s plan is to close up and observe Liu Zhang''s actions.


    At this time, Liu Zhang had already sent someone back to inquire about the news. But when Liu Zhang was sitting in the camp, he no longer had the heart to read. Instead, he felt uneasy and confused.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a general came in in a hurry.


    The general said, "my Lord, it''s not a good thing."


    "What''s the matter?" Liu Zhang asked.


    The general replied, "there are deserters in the army, and some of them start to slip away."


    After hearing this, Liu Zhang''s face became livid and his eyes were even more angry. He slapped his hand on the desk and said angrily, "grab it, grab it for me. I will kill those who want to escape. "


    Now Liu Zhang is on the verge of anger.


    The general got the order and turned back.


    For Liu Zhang, every minute of the day is a torment, and the sentinel who quickly ran back to Chengdu finally came back all night.


    The sentry came to the camp with a solemn expression.


    Liu Zhang asked, "what''s the situation like? Has Fazheng defected?"


    The sentinel said: "my Lord, Fazheng and Zhang Song are indeed rebellious, and they control Chengdu, and even the major families in Chengdu unite to support Fazheng. When he went back to inquire about the news, Liu Zhang didn''t let him enter the city. He just said a word. "


    "What''s that?" Liu Zhang asked.


    "Sentinel replied:" good birds choose trees and habitat, wise officials choose their masters


    After hearing these words, Liu Zhang was even more angry.


    Damn it!


    He paid so much attention to FA Zheng that he got such a result.


    Liu Zhang waved his hand and said, "go down!"


    "Yes


    The sentry retreated. After the sentry retreated, the news of Fazheng and Zhang Song''s mutiny finally came true. Before that, there were still soldiers who thought it was Liu Xiu''s plan. But now, no one doubts it, because there are all the facts. Even the sentinel admitted it, so there is no doubt.At this time, the soldiers in the army were completely isolated.


    After the news spread all over the camp, there were more deserters, and many soldiers fled one after another.


    The whole camp was in chaos and panic.


    In one of the camps, several generals gathered.


    These generals are the main generals in the army.


    The leader was Zhao Ping, a Zhonglang general in the army and one of the most important generals. He looked at one of the men in the camp, with a solemn expression on his face, and said, "you guys, you are all clear about this battle. Chengdu in the rear is controlled by Fazheng and Zhang song, both of whom have long been subordinated to Liu Xiu. So we certainly have no food. But now, the soldiers run away, walk away, have no heart to fight. Under such circumstances, we will definitely lose. It''s time to think about the future. "


    As soon as this remark came out, it immediately won the support of all people.


    The generals nodded one after another.


    Today, it is obvious that Liu Zhang will lose and Liu Xiu will win.


    So, everyone has an idea.


    Seeing that all the people nodded and agreed, Zhao Ping threw out his thoughts and said, "it''s better for us to fight for wealth than to surrender passively. My plan is that we will lead the army to control Liu Zhang, and then coerce Liu Zhang to surrender. "


    "Hiss!"


    There was a look of shock on everyone''s faces.


    Although there are thoughts in the hearts of the people, at most they escape or lead the soldiers away.


    Unexpectedly, Zhao Ping wanted to control Liu Zhang.


    Zhao Ping''s face was solemn, and he said, "ladies and gentlemen, are you willing to be so obedient? As long as we control Liu Zhang to surrender, we won''t get Liu Xiu''s attention, but at least we will get Liu Xiu''s praise. At least, it can guarantee our official position. Everybody, it''s a matter of one sentence whether to do it or not. Let''s make a statement. "


    Zhao Ping looked at the people in the camp with a trace of coldness on his face.


    "I do. Anyway, Liu Zhang is going to lose. Let him help us."


    "I also agree that Liu Zhang can''t turn over in today''s situation. Especially with Liu Zhang, it''s better to follow Liu Xiu. If we follow Liu Xiu, there will be more hope. "


    "I agree, too!"


    "I agree to do it!"


    The generals spoke one after another, and all of them expressed their positions. All of them stood on Zhao Ping''s side.


    Zhao pingmao stood up, pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, and said, "since everyone has agreed to my proposal, it''s not too late. We''ll immediately mobilize the soldiers and surround Liu Zhang''s camp."


    "Good!"


    When they heard the words, they all answered in unison.


    Zhao Ping left the camp with the generals, quickly mobilized the soldiers and walked towards Liu Zhang''s camp.


    Outside Liu Zhang''s camp, the soldiers surrounded the camp to ensure that no one would break in. Zhao Ping, with his generals, broke into the barracks.


    Seeing the general coming in, Liu Zhang looked cold and said, "what are you doing here without notice?"


    Zhao Ping smile, not impatient said: "I wait, is to please adults with us to submit to Liu Xiu."


    "Son of a bitch!"


    Liu Zhang was so angry that he didn''t expect his soldiers to rebel.


    Unfortunately, Liu Zhang had no room for resistance.


    Zhao Ping looked at the angry Liu Zhang. Instead of talking to Liu Zhang, he directly ordered the soldiers to arrest Liu Zhang, and then left the camp. Then he called together the generals and soldiers to leave the camp and go to Liu Xiu''s camp.

 Chapter 570

    Jingzhou army, camp.


    After Liu Xiu came back from the withdrawal, he quietly waited for the news without any action.


    The message has been sent out. Now all we have to do is wait for the message.


    "Newspaper!"


    Deng Zhan came to Liu Xiu''s camp with an excited look on his face.


    Deng Zhan bowed himself and said, "good news, good news! The Yizhou army has defected, and now it has escorted Liu Zhang towards our camp. "


    "Oh, really?" Liu Xiu was also excited.


    Victory in this war means that the rear is secure.


    Deng Zhan said: "the royal guards have confirmed the news twice in a row. Yizhou army has indeed defected. The rebel general, Zhao Ping, has come to us with Liu Zhang and his soldiers. "


    Liu Xiu said: "such an important thing must be met in person. Deng Zhan, follow me


    "No!"


    With a smile on his face, Deng Zhan followed Liu Xiu out of the camp.


    When he came to the gate of the camp, Deng Zhan looked at Liu Xiu and suddenly said, "Lord, if you take Yizhou, you will have Jingzhou, Jiaozhou and Yizhou. Do you want to be king?"


    Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan in surprise. How can he raise this question?


    Somebody''s got an idea.


    Liu Xiu''s expression was solemn and said, "why did you suddenly mention the king thing?"


    Deng Zhan replied: "during this period, the news that the royal guards have inquired about, whether it''s military generals or civil and military officials, some people have a mind to make the Lord King."


    At this point, Deng Zhan noticed the change of Liu Xiu''s expression.


    Seeing that Liu Xiu''s face was serious, but he didn''t have any anger, he continued: "in fact, their mind is easy to understand. They think that the Lord will be king, and they will be rewarded. They can go further."


    Liu xiudao: "Deng Zhan, do you think so too?"


    In a word, Deng Zhan''s heart burst.


    Fearing that Liu Xiu might have any idea, Deng Zhan quickly explained: "the humble commander of the royal guards, only the Lord''s order is obeyed."


    In the face of Liu Xiu''s question, Deng Zhan immediately explained.


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "to be king will bring benefits to the people below, but it will bring trouble to me. Now I need strength, not face. So in a short time, there will be no idea of being king. You can send someone to knock on the person who has a mind and put it out temporarily. It''s the most appropriate thing to do a good job and do your job well. "


    "Yes, I understand!"


    Deng zhanchang sighed, and his heart was completely relaxed.


    Deng Zhan quickly changed the topic, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.


    After a short time, a black line appeared on the official road outside the camp. As the distance narrowed, the black line became clear, revealing soldiers one by one.


    At the front of the army are Zhao Ping and Liu Zhang.


    Besides, there are generals in the army.


    Zhao Ping took the lead in surrendering, and Yizhou soldiers supported him one after another, because they could not find the reason to resist, let alone the morale to resist. As soon as Zhao Ping took the lead, it really echoed, and everyone responded.


    When Zhao Ping took the soldiers to the camp 50 steps away, he ordered the army to stop.


    "Wow!"


    A weapon is still on the ground, which is really powerful. Immediately, Zhao Ping at the front knelt down with a plop, and all the soldiers knelt down when they saw this scene.


    Tens of thousands of people knelt down, and the scene was really magnificent.


    When Liu Xiu saw the scene outside the camp, he was also shocked and felt incredible.


    Interesting!


    There was a smile on Liu Xiu''s face.


    Zhao Pinglang said: "Liu Jingzhou, Zhao Ping escorts Liu Zhang to surrender. Please accept Liu Jingzhou."


    The loud voice reverberates in the camp.


    When Liu Xiu heard the voice, he looked at Wen pin and ordered, "general Wen, you should send troops to collect weapons immediately, and then take over all the Yizhou soldiers."


    "No!"


    Wenpin got the order and went to arrange it immediately.


    The soldiers who collected weapons continued, while Liu Zhang and Zhao Ping were brought to Liu Xiu by the soldiers.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Liu Yizhou, we meet again."


    Liu Zhang said angrily, "Liu Xiu, you are despicable. When we were allies, we didn''t expect you to send troops to attack Yizhou. What''s more, I didn''t expect that you had the intention to seize Yizhou. Even Fazheng and Zhang Song were incited by you. You are so vicious. "


    Liu Xiu tut tut two, said: "it seems that you are very aggrieved ah!"


    Liu Zhang said, "shameless people!"


    Liu Xiu said, "when it comes to shamelessness, I''m going to talk to you."


    "Who first proposed the alliance? It was you, Liu Zhang, who proposed to make an alliance with Jingzhou and said that we should keep watch and help each other. But Jingzhou encountered Cao Cao''s attack, who retreated? You, Liu Zhang, are shrinking back! ""In order to let you send troops, I have to cede Nanyang County to you, so that you are willing to send troops."


    "You say, are you an ally?"


    Liu Xiu looked contemptuous and said: "those who take advantage of the fire, do you still have the face to talk about me? What a shame. "


    Liu Zhang''s mouth twitched slightly when he heard the speech.


    As a politician, he could not help Liu Xiu unconditionally. Especially when Cao Cao attacked Liu Xiu, Cao Cao led countless soldiers, and it was impossible for Liu Zhang to send troops without any reason.


    But now, of course, it''s his fault.


    Liu Xiu continued: "when you sent troops into Nanyang, Deng Xian took over and turned around and surrendered to Cao Cao."


    "Who took back the lost land and Nanyang? It''s my official. "


    "After I defeated Cao Cao, I just stabilized Nanyang County. You came here again. You had the cheek to ask me to give you Nanyang County. Do you think it''s possible?"


    Liu Xiu''s face was full of disdain and said, "you are so naive. You are so brazen."


    Liu Zhang listened to Liu Xiu and stepped back two steps.


    The expression on his face was very embarrassing.


    Liu Zhang wanted to humiliate Liu Xiu. Unexpectedly, he just made a start. Liu Xiu said a lot, which made him unable to fight back.


    Liu Xiu continued: "you and I were allies, but what about Liu Zhang? It''s impossible to capture Nanyang. In the twinkling of an eye, Liu Ruo led his army to attack Jingzhou. Ha, you are really brave enough. "


    The corner of Liu Zhang''s mouth twitched. Attacking Jingzhou was the worst decision he had ever made.


    The defeat in that war was a great loss.


    Liu Xiu stared at Liu Zhang and said, "now, do you still think that I am a shameless man? You ask yourself, if you didn''t lose the morality of being an ally, would I deal with you? Liu Zhang, there are reasons and results. If you don''t have two sides and a bad heart, my official will not attack Yizhou, but Sun Quan. "


    After hearing this, Liu Zhang felt very sad and regretted.


    If you had known that, why did you have to do it in the first place?


    Liu Zhang looked at Liu Xiu and turned his eyes, saying, "Liu Jingzhou, I know it''s wrong, I know it''s wrong. Give me a break. I''m willing to submit. I''m willing to submit to you. "


    At this moment, Liu Zhang did not have a trace of resistance.


    In my heart, my intestines are blue.


    With a faint smile, Liu Xiu said, "don''t worry, I won''t kill you. After all, you and I are from the same family. We all have the blood of the Liu family


    "Hoo


    When Liu Zhang heard the speech, he was relieved.


    As long as you can hold your life, everything is easy to say.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Zhao Ping and said, "I''m very glad that you led the army to surrender. After rectifying Yizhou, I have my own arrangements. I won''t treat you badly about that. "


    "Thank you, Liu Jingzhou!"


    Zhao Ping''s face is full of smiles. He leads people to surrender. Isn''t the picture of Liu Xiu''s esteem?


    In Liu Xiu''s capacity, he said that he would not be mistreated, and naturally he would not break his promise.


    Liu Xiu looked at Wen pin and said, "general Wen, take Liu Zhang down to custody. You and Zhao Ping will help to deal with the Yizhou army and reorganize it as soon as possible. At the same time, we are close to Chengdu and control Chengdu City. "


    "No!"


    Wenpin got the order, and then he acted quickly.


    In half a day, wenpin finished the task.


    The army set out for Chengdu.


    Liu Xiu''s army has 30000 troops, while Zhao Yun''s army has 30000. In addition to nearly 40000 Yizhou soldiers captured, as well as the soldiers captured before, the number of the whole army has exceeded 100000, which can be said to be unparalleled.


    When Liu Xiu and his troops arrived, the gate of Chengdu City opened and officials led by FA Zheng and Zhang Song welcomed them.

 Chapter 571

    Liu Xiu led his troops to line up outside the city, and the army was in awe.


    Seeing this, the officers and soldiers in the city were shocked. They were glad to listen to the advice of Fazheng and Zhang song.


    If you don''t surrender, you can''t stop it.


    Fortunately, I surrendered!


    Fazheng glanced back at the crowd and saw their faces in horror, with a smile on their lips. When these people saw the battle outside the city, they could not have any other thoughts.


    When Fazheng and Zhang Song arrived at the army, Fazheng bowed his hand and said, "humble Fazheng, welcome your Lord."


    Zhang Song said: "humble Zhang song, welcome my Lord."


    They bowed to each other, and the rest of the officials bowed to each other.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "please get up!"


    When they got up, Liu Xiu said, "I appreciate you judging the situation. I can promise that there will be no change in your positions. "


    For some ordinary officials in Chengdu or Yizhou, Liu Xiu did not plan to adjust.


    Once adjusted, it is also prone to turbulence.


    What Liu Xiu wants to adjust is only the most important position, holding important rights in his hands.


    After the officials in Yizhou and even Chengdu heard this, many of them put their hearts back into their stomachs and complimented Liu Xiu one by one, saying that Liu Xiu was wise and powerful.


    Liu Xiu ordered the army to camp outside the city, and then brought the Feihu camp, the royal guards and the manbing camp into the city. Entering the city, Liu Xiu listened to the news reported by Fazheng and Zhang song, and then arranged one by one.


    The government affairs of Yizhou and even Chengdu were quickly arranged.


    The turbulent Yizhou also began to stabilize.


    After Liu Xiu was in charge of Chengdu, the news soon spread to the front line. Liu Xun''s soldiers immediately mutinied and Yizhou army, which bombed the camp, fled everywhere. Zhang Lu, Yan Pu and Yang Ren led the army to pursue, easily defeated Liu Xun''s army and captured Liu Xun alive.


    The relationship between Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang is just like fire and water.


    After capturing Liu Xun, Zhang Lu immediately had him beheaded and dumped him in the wilderness.


    Then Zhang Lu led the troops to continue to push forward.


    Only when the army advanced, Zhang Lu had already sent Yang Song to Chengdu to visit Liu Xiu to negotiate the land occupied by both sides and Liu Zhang''s affairs.


    According to the original agreement, Liu Xiu captured Liu Zhang and had to release him.


    Then, Zhang Lu has a chance.


    Now that Liu Xiu has taken control of Liu Zhang, it''s time to fulfill the agreement. So Zhang Lu let Yang Song go, hoping for a good result.


    Yang Song and Liu Xiu did not deal with each other.


    This time, as an envoy, he had already thought about it in his heart that he must put out the score of the envoy.


    In particular, Zhang Lu''s troops attracted Liu Zhang''s troops and made Liu Xiu successful. In some ways, Zhang Lu was Liu Xiu''s benefactor, so Yang Song was more reasonable.


    Yang Song rushed all the way to Chengdu in a short time.


    At this time has entered the early summer of May, the weather gradually hot up.


    When Yang song came to the prefecture, he went up and said, "go to inform Liu Jingzhou immediately. Zhang Lu, the prefect of Hanzhong, is visiting Yang Song."


    As soon as the attendant heard that he was Zhang Lu''s man, he did not dare to delay, so he quickly went to communicate.


    In the study, Liu Xiu got the news from the servant, and his mind turned, thinking about the purpose of Yang Songlai.


    Yang song came here for two purposes.


    First, it should be for the originally agreed territory division; second, it should be for Liu Zhang.


    Liu Xiu thought for a moment, said: "you go to take Yang Song to live in the house, just say these days I deal with things in the barracks, after coming back, the first time to see him."


    "No!"


    When the servant got the order, he immediately went down to make arrangements.


    Liu Xiu ordered again: "come on!"


    Another attendant came in, and Liu Xiu said, "please FA Zheng, Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Xu Shu and Lu Su come to the study to discuss business."


    "No!"


    The valet went down to make arrangements.


    When Yang Song saw the servant, he was very unhappy. But Liu Xiugen was no longer in the house, and he had no choice but to enter the house under the guidance of his servants, and then he lived in the house.


    Soon, Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others came to the study.


    Liu Xiu waved a few people to sit down and said straight to the point: "Yang Song has just arrived in Chengdu. He came to see Zhang Lu at his command. In my opinion, the first thing he talked about was the border issue. The second thing he talked about was Liu Zhang. Yang Song did not make arrangements for me to meet him. To call you here is to discuss how to deal with it. "


    When people heard the words, they fell into thinking.


    If it was just the established boundary and the previous decision to release Liu Zhang, Liu Xiu would not call them all to the study to discuss.


    The only explanation is that Liu Xiu has a deeper idea.All of a sudden, Pang Tong said, "is the Lord going to fight Zhang Lu?"


    "So it is


    Liu Xiu didn''t refuse and nodded his head.


    Pang Tong continued: "it''s only Zhang Lu who made an alliance with us. If we change our face now, I''m afraid it will damage the reputation of the Lord. This matter needs to be considered carefully. We should not only be able to attack Zhang Lu, but also be able to complete the reputation of the Lord. "


    Jia Xu said with a light smile: "the two things are actually very simple. Take Yang Song for an operation. When Yang song came to see him this time, the Lord decided a crime for him at will, so there was a reason. To attack Zhang Lu, we need only one reason. "


    Liu Xiu heard the speech and nodded slightly.


    Jia Xu''s analysis is in line with his mind.


    As for Zhang Lu, Liu Xiu could not allow him to become a state of state.


    If there is a place in Hanzhong in Yizhou, it can be regarded as a complete Hanzhong, otherwise it will not be regarded as a complete Hanzhong.


    Cao hanxiu said, "the problem is that we still have a border with Liu. Once Hanzhong was attacked, Zhang Lu might lead the wolf into the house and lead Cao Cao to Hanzhong. At that time, it''s easy to ask God to send him away, but it''s hard to get rid of Cao Cao. Therefore, this war should not be too slow. We must be able to win Hanzhong in one go, so that Zhang Lu will not have the chance to contact Cao Cao. "


    When people heard the words, they fell into thinking again.


    Xu Shu suddenly said: "Lord, if we want to attack Hanzhong, it will take time and effort to send troops from Chengdu. When we get to Hanzhong, I''m afraid Zhang Lu has already found Cao Cao. So the next consideration is that our first army will withdraw from Chengdu and go back to Yufu county. Once we get to Yufu County, there will be two routes. "


    "The first way is to cut off the contact between Hanzhong and Zhang Lu. After all, Zhang Lu also brought his troops to Chengdu and planned to negotiate with the Lord. As long as we cut off Zhang Lu''s retreat, Zhang Lu will be defeated. "


    "On the second route, the soldiers were close to Hanzhong. Today''s Hanzhong, although there are troops to resist Cao Cao, but the strength is not strong. If our army enters Hanzhong, it will surely win the first World War. "


    Xu Shu''s eyes twinkled with wisdom, and said: "today''s army, only we are chasing in Nanjun. If we withdraw, we will not arouse Zhang Lu''s suspicion. And as long as we leave quietly, it won''t attract each other''s attention. "


    Liu Xiu listened to Xu Shu''s suggestion, and his face was moved.


    at present, this is the best strategy.


    Lu Su then said: "so during this period of time, we not only need to delay time, but also need to mobilize the army to prepare to give Zhang Lu a heavy blow. The Lord can arrange the soldiers of the third army for the sake of defense. Once Zhang Lu''s army arrives, we can attack Zhang Lu. At that time, we defeated Zhang Lu, and when Zhang Lu retreated, he was stopped by the first army, and Zhang Lu would be defeated. "


    Liu Xiu heard the speech and nodded slightly.


    The suggestions of Xu Shu and Lu Su are quite good.


    FA Zheng looked smiling and said, "now it''s only Yang Song''s business. Let me make arrangements for the conviction of Yang Song."


    Liu said, "you can do it like this."


    Immediately, Liu Xiu arranged all kinds of things, then looked at Wen pin and asked, "Wen pin, has the surrender Yizhou army been properly reorganized?"


    Wenpin replied, "I''m ready to report back to you."


    Liu Xiu said, "good!"


    Immediately, Liu Xiu ordered: "come on!"


    At the command, a valet came in and saluted.


    Liu Xiu said, "please Chen Dao, Yan Yan and Huo Jun come to the study!"


    "No!"


    The servant went down to deliver the order, and the faces of the people in the study looked thoughtful. The reason is very simple. Just now Liu Xiu inquired about the reorganized soldiers, and now he called them in again. Obviously, he was going to arrange official posts.

 Chapter 572

    "Step on it! Step on it


    A rush of footsteps came from outside the study.


    Chen Dao, Yan Yan and Huo Jun came together, and their faces were calm.


    The Chamberlain went to send orders, but they didn''t know the news at all, so they didn''t know the situation.


    Entering the camp, Chen Zhi and the three bowed to salute.


    Liu Xiu did not arrange for the three to sit down, but continued: "it''s for the Yizhou army to call you three. In this war, both Chen Dao and Huo Jun made great contributions. Not only that, Chen has been working hard and never complained since he followed his official for two years. "


    The opening remarks excited Chen Dao''s heart.


    Yizhou army!


    These three words instantly opened Chen Dao''s heart.


    Under Liu Xiu''s command, Chen Dao was naturally familiar with the military arrangements under Liu Xiu''s command.


    Under normal circumstances, Liu Xiu would arrange for an army to be stationed wherever he went or occupied. For example, Jiaozhou arranged the second army led by Huang Zhong, and Nanyang County arranged the Fifth Army led by Zhang Ren.


    All in all, Liu Xiu''s army is in important places.


    According to Liu Xiu''s habit, Yizhou must have. Liu Xiu was the first to mention him. Did he want to


    For a moment, Chen Dao was also excited.


    Under Liu Xiu''s command, Chen Dao has been silent for nearly two years.


    Now, finally, there is a chance.


    Chen Dao listened quietly, but the expression on his face was faintly excited.


    Liu Xiu continued: "now the Yizhou army has been reorganized. According to the practice under my command, Yizhou definitely needs a senior general to preside over it, so I plan to set up the Sixth Army."


    Having said that, Chen Dao is even more excited.


    Sixth Army!


    As expected, the Sixth Army will be established.


    Liu Xiu fixed his eyes on Chen Dao and said, "Chen Dao, listen to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Chen stood up and saluted at the first step.


    When Chen Dao really heard it, his mood suddenly calmed down. He was not nervous at all. At the same time, on Chen Dao''s shoulders, he suddenly felt a great responsibility.


    Yizhou has a vast territory and complex terrain. It is not easy to lead troops to stay in Yizhou, but also to stabilize the situation. On the contrary, it will be very difficult.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice, "I have appointed you as general Anxi and prefect of Shu County, commanding the Sixth Army and taking charge of Chengdu."


    "I will obey you!"


    When Chen Dao heard that, his expression was even more solemn.


    General Anxi, one of the generals of Si''an, is also the prefect of Shu county.


    Among the armies, Wen pin is the only one who holds the post of general Abe concurrently as the prefect of Nanjun. He is not only in charge of the army, but also in charge of the prefecture. He has great power and is deeply trusted by Liu Xiu.


    Nowadays, there are more such people.


    A demoted general, can achieve this step, can be said to be an unparalleled honor.


    Chen Dao folded his hands and bowed 90 degrees. He solemnly said, "thank you, Lord. I will do my best to live up to your expectations."


    Liu Xiu gave him too much trust and honor.


    Under Liu Bei''s command, Chen Dao was also highly valued, but Liu Bei never let him take charge of politics, let alone command the army. He just took charge of Liu Bei''s personal guards and constantly strengthened the strength of the white eared soldiers.


    Now Liu Xiu gives too much.


    A trace of warmth permeates Chen Dao''s heart.


    Chen Dao thought that after Liu Xiu captured him, he showed his appreciation for him. But after that, because Liu Xiu calmed down the war and recuperated, Chen Dao became silent.


    After nearly two years, Liu Xiu gave him too much.


    You treat me as a scholar, and I will repay you as a scholar!


    In his heart, Chen made up his mind.


    Liu Xiu took a look at Chen Dao, and his eyes fell on Yan Yan. Liu Xiu naturally heard about this old general. Among the Three Kingdoms, Huang Zhong, a general who refuses to accept the old, has a stern face.


    Liu Xiu said solemnly, "general Yan, there is also an old general under my command named Huang Zhong. Although he was more than 50 years old, he was energetic and was in charge of the second army, stationed in Jiaozhou. Although you are also an old man, you are energetic. You are also good at fighting. You are not old enough. "


    Yan Yan said, "my Lord, praise me falsely!"


    Liu Xiu continued: "you are good at both civil and military affairs. You can govern government affairs and unite troops to fight. I appoint you as general Anxi and deputy commander of the second army to assist Chen Dao. "


    "Thank you


    Yan Yan heard that Liu Xiu was bold enough.


    He was just a demoted general who had just returned to Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu arranged for him to help Chen Dao lead the army. Such a strategy is bold.


    But Liu Zhang did not have such courage.


    Liu Xiu took back his eyes and fell on Huo Jun.Compared with other people under Liu Xiu''s command, Huo Jun grows very fast. In just a few years, I have gained great experience. For Huo Jun''s ability, Liu Xiu is also very appreciative.


    If you let Huojun stay with Liu Xiu all the time, it''s wronging Huojun''s talent.


    Liu Xiu said, "Huo Jun, listen to the order!"


    "I''m in a humble position!"


    Huo Jun stood up and saluted.


    Chen Dao and Yan Yan''s official positions have been arranged. Huo Jun already knows his next arrangement. He must be the commander of the Sixth Army. Huo Jun also knows the practice of Jingzhou. The military adviser of any army is Liu Xiu''s absolute confidant.


    Liu Xiu said: "since Jingzhou was a scholar, you have made great contributions as a soldier and a assistant official. This attack on Yizhou, you also contributed a lot. Therefore, I have appointed you as the commander of the Sixth Army. "


    "Lord Xie, you must be conscientious and live up to your expectations."


    Huo Jun bowed his hand. He knew that since then, he has become one of the most important personnel under Liu Xiu''s command.


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Chen Dao, Yan Yan and Huo Jun, and continued: "your arrangement has been made, commander Yizhou army. However, I have to remind you that Chen Dao is not allowed to interfere in the government affairs of Yizhou when he is out of Nanjun. In addition, affairs such as government affairs in the army are reported by Huo Jun. "


    "No!"


    Three people smell speech, answer together.


    Chen Dao and Huo Jun are officials under Liu Xiu, but they are not surprised. But Yan Yan hears the speech, but in the heart is the secret Liu Xiu good old spicy means. In this way, we can prevent the army from being dominated by only one person.


    After Liu Xiu arranged for the three, he waved his hand and sat down in the study.


    Liu Xiu said: "since the Sixth Army has been arranged, there should also be arrangements for the allocation of officials in Yizhou. Ordinary officials, even at the county level, need not be changed. However, the officials of the prefecture must be adjusted. "


    When they heard the speech, they all nodded slightly.


    But among these people, Pang Tong and Jia Xu are Liu Xiu''s left and right military strategists, which is impossible to arrange.


    Xu Shu, Lu Su and others had arrangements, and it was impossible to adjust them.


    On the contrary, Fazheng is the most promising.


    Fazheng thought in his heart, but he didn''t want to stay in Yizhou as an official. Although in a short period of time, Yizhou is a big city, but the pattern of Yizhou is too small.


    It was FA who knew Liu Xiu''s goal. He absolutely wanted to compete with the rest of the world.


    Under such circumstances, following Liu Xiu''s side is the best plan. Even if there is no arrangement to follow Liu Xiu now, he will be able to be reused after the world is settled.


    Fazheng said: "Lord, I have a little idea about the arrangement of Yizhou officials."


    "Say it


    Liu Xiu waved his hand to show that he was speaking.


    It is inestimable that FA Zheng plays an important role in Yizhou. Without the cooperation of Fazheng, Liu Xiu wants to capture Yizhou. Although he can finally capture Yizhou, he will certainly take many detours.


    With the legal system, everything can be carried out smoothly.


    Fazheng''s expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "I suggest that the Lord should be the pastor of Yizhou. The position of State animal husbandry is very important. Only when the Lord concurrently holds this position can he serve the public and arrange other things. "


    Liu Xiu didn''t say anything. The gesture is continuing.

 Chapter 573

    FA Zheng, with a solemn expression, said, "if you want to govern Yizhou, you have to be Liu ba. Moreover, Liu BA was a native of Lingling county. Liu Biao, the former leader, had been conquered many times, but Liu Ba did not become an official. Later, Liu Ba came to Sichuan, but he served under Liu Zhang. "


    "When the Lord attacked Yizhou, although Liu Ba did not contribute, he did not deny his outstanding ability."


    "Liu Ba is not only good at internal affairs, but also incorruptible."


    Fazheng said firmly: "if you use Liuba to govern Yizhou, Yizhou can be settled."


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly. He also knew something about Liu ba.


    In history, Liu BA was highly respected by Liu Biao, Cao Cao and even Liu Bei. Even Zhuge Liang admired this man''s ability.


    Even Zhuge Liang once said: "the strategy is in the strategy, I''m not as far away as the beginning of my son!"


    From this, we can see Liu BA''s ability.


    Liu Xiu is naturally willing to use such a person.


    Liu Xiu thought about Fazheng''s words, and then said, "Xiaozhi, how should Zhang Song arrange it?"


    Fazheng and Zhang Song are also close friends. When it comes to Zhang Song''s arrangement, he naturally can''t speak casually, saying: "my Lord, brother ziqiao has outstanding ability, but he doesn''t dare to say anything in his humble position. I have a little idea about my position. "


    Liu Xiu laughs. FA is about to talk about his official position, which is very interesting.


    All along, he has appointed officials. This time, it''s not good. Fazheng has taken the initiative.


    Liu Xiu said, "but it''s OK to say it!"


    FA Zheng solemnly said, "I don''t want to stay in Yizhou. I just want to be an assistant beside my Lord."


    As soon as the words came out, the people in the hall became serious. Originally, people in the hall also thought that the legalist society would open its mouth. Surprisingly, the legalist society made such a request.


    Liu Xiu looked at Fazheng and said, "Xiaozhi, are you sure?"


    Fazheng said: "I think very clearly about humble position."


    "Well, I promise you."


    Liu Xiu nodded and answered directly.


    FA Zheng''s face was wearing a smile, and he was very happy.


    Liu Xiu said, "come on, please Liuba."


    Order issued, not long, Liu Ba came to the study. In his early 40s, Liu Ba bowed to Liu Xiu with a solemn expression: "Liu Ba, meet Liu Jingzhou."


    Liu Xiu said: "when Zichu came to Yizhou for so many years, did he return to Jingzhou to visit his relatives?"


    Liu Ba is a little confused. What does Liu Xiu mean?


    FA Zheng was sitting at the bottom, but when he heard Liu Xiu''s words, he picked his sword eyebrows and was surprised in his eyes. He didn''t introduce Liu Xiu to Liu ba. He didn''t expect Liu Xiu to know Liu BA''s words.


    Liu Xiu can accurately call out, which proves that Liu Xiu''s understanding of Yizhou personnel is extremely clear.


    A bitter smile, in the heart diffuse open.


    He proposed to let Liu Ba govern Yizhou because he thought Liu Xiu did not know the situation, but now it seems that this is not the case.


    Liu Ba thought about it and replied, "I have not returned to Jingzhou for many years."


    Liu Xiu asked, "Zichu is a native of Jingzhou, and he should go back to see it from time to time."


    Liu Ba said: "there is nothing to do now, but I have this plan."


    Liu xiuxiao said: "Zichu is a scholar of Jingzhou. He has outstanding talent and ability. I want to govern Yizhou, but I don''t feel at ease when I use Yizhou officials to govern Yizhou. Therefore, I intend to let Zichu take an important position and run Yizhou for me. "


    After hearing this, Liu Ba looked surprised.


    He came to govern Yizhou?


    Does that mean he''ll be the assassin?


    Liu Ba took a deep breath and said, "my Lord, Liu BA''s talent is not outstanding. I''m afraid he is not competent."


    Liu Xiu said, "I believe you. Are you not willing to work for me?"


    "Of course not!"


    Liu Ba waved his hand. Under Liu Xiu''s command, there are Yizhou, Jingzhou and Jiaozhou. The three states are linked together, which can be said to be the general trend. Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu had the capital and foundation to compete in the world.


    Liu Xiu said: "since it is not, the official appointed you as the governor of Yizhou, in charge of Yizhou."


    "Hiss!"


    Fazheng took a deep breath.


    Just now, he suggested Liu Xiu to be the governor and let Liu Ba help with the governance. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu was directly in place.


    Liu Ba is also stunned, which is too abrupt.


    Governor of Yizhou!


    Looking at the whole world, they are all first-class feudal officials. In the twinkling of an eye, he should be in charge of Yizhou, which is really incredible.


    Liu Ba Leng recovered after a long time and said, "thank you for your kindness. Please rest assured that you will live up to your expectations."


    "Good! That''s the momentum. "


    Liu Xiu was very satisfied with Liu BA''s reply and said, "since you are the governor of Yizhou, it''s up to you to assess and arrange the officials of Yizhou counties. If you need to transfer troops, you can directly find Chen. Later, as the chief General of the Sixth Army, he will be stationed in Chengdu. ""Yes


    When Liu Ba heard the speech, he bowed his hand to answer it.


    Next, Liu Xiu arranged for Zhang Song''s official position. Liu Ba became a governor and made Zhang Song subordinate to others. He was unwilling to do so, and he would certainly have an idea. Therefore, the position Liu Xiu arranged for Zhang song was also left with Liu Xiu.


    General personnel are arranged properly, Liu Xiucai let everyone back down.


    However, Liu Xiu let Fazheng stay.


    Liu Xiu looked at Fazheng and said, "about Yang Song, you should arrange it as soon as possible."


    "No!"


    Fazheng was ordered to prepare after he left.


    Fazheng''s arrangement was very simple. When he learned that Yang Song was left in the prefecture, he arranged for a woman to serve Yang Song in the yard. This is not a good thing for Yang Song. When he saw a woman coming to eat, he pushed her and rolled the sheets with her.


    The next thing is very simple. Fazheng comes forward and says that the woman is the wife of the general of Yizhou. Because her husband died in the battlefield, she doesn''t get any pension at home. She comes to Liu Xiu for justice.


    I didn''t expect that after entering the house, I lost my way in the backyard and was defiled by Yang Song.


    Naturally, there are many loopholes in this matter.


    But the reason is enough.


    When Liu Xiu knew about it, he directly arranged for someone to bring Yang Song to the hall for trial. Looking at Yang Song, he said in a deep voice, "Yang Song, if you want a woman, you can tell me. There are many brothel women in Yizhou. I can arrange it for you. But it''s really difficult for me to do that. If you were under my command, you would have cut off your dog''s head. "


    Yang Song smell speech, where still don''t understand to be calculated. He shook his head and said, "Liu Jingzhou, this has nothing to do with me. This is the woman''s voluntary."


    Liu Xiu big sleeve a brush, way: "don''t want sophistry!"


    Yang Song said: "Liu Jingzhou, you can''t do me wrong, you can''t do me wrong!"


    Liu Xiu said: "I know very well whether I wish or not. As Zhang Lu''s envoy, you have committed wanton murder. I will ask Zhang Lu about this matter. When Zhang Lu arrives in Chengdu, our official will discuss with him in person. "


    Yang Song said, "Liu Xiu, you slander me."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "I didn''t slander you."


    "Somebody


    Liu Xiu gave the order directly.


    In an instant, a soldier came in and came into the hall.


    "No one is allowed to go down to visit him," he said


    "Yes


    The soldiers came up to drive Yang Song and went down directly.


    Yang Song yells and wants to refute, but no matter how he yells, Liu Xiu doesn''t listen. At this time, Yang song suddenly understood that this might be Liu Xiu''s calculation, or Liu Xiu wanted to deal with him.


    However, both sides are still allies!


    Yang Song couldn''t understand Liu Xiu''s plan, but he was quite depressed.


    No matter whether Liu Xiu slandered him or not, it''s certain that he didn''t do what Zhang Lu arranged. Once Zhang Lu takes people to Chengdu, he can''t hand over to Zhang Lu. On the contrary, this will make Zhang Lu passive, and he will be punished by Zhang Lu.


    Thinking of this, Yang Song is even more lost.


    After Liu Xiu took Yang Song, he didn''t see him again, but wenpin and Zhao Yun''s troops began to take action, quietly preparing for the next war.


    In early June, the army led by Zhang Lu had entered Chengdu.


    Along the way, Zhang Lu also took in a large number of Yizhou soldiers, with nearly 50000 troops, which can be said to be sufficient.


    This kind of power is very important.


    Therefore, Zhang Lu is quite confident that Liu Xiu does not dare to break the old agreement.

 Chapter 574

    When Zhang Lu arrived, Liu Xiu left Chengdu City, led by Chen Dao and led the army to Zhang Lu''s army.


    Chen Dao''s Yizhou army now has only 30000 elite soldiers.


    These 30000 people were selected from all the Yizhou army before, and more than 10000 people were eliminated. Such a screening has made the 30000 soldiers under Chen''s command powerful and ensured sufficient combat effectiveness.


    The 10000 soldiers eliminated have all become logistics soldiers in the army. This ensures that these soldiers will not become a burden to the people after they are disbanded.


    As the army advanced, Yang Song was escorted by the soldiers.


    The two armies met fifteen miles outside Chengdu.


    Army formation!


    Liu Xiu leads Deng Zhan out and comes to the front.


    With a smile on his face, Zhang Lu came to the front of the army and said, "Liu Jingzhou, now Chengdu has been defeated, and the situation in Yizhou is stable. Now, has Liu Zhang been released as agreed? "


    Liu Xiu said, "I''m afraid things are in trouble, Mr. Zhang."


    "What''s the trouble?" Zhang Lu asked.


    At the moment, Zhang Lu is still thinking about how to kill Liu Zhang.


    Family hatred is greater than heaven!


    Without vengeance, Zhang Lu''s heart is not stable.


    Liu Xiu had a sharp look in his eyes and said in a deep voice: "after Yang Song arrived in Chengdu, he had defiled the wife of the generals under his command. What do you say to do about this?"


    "Ah


    Zhang Lu was shocked.


    Liu xiudao said, "I''m afraid you have to give an account of this matter to my official."


    With a wave of his hand, a soldier escorted Yang Song up.


    Liu Xiu said, "let the people go!"


    "Yes


    The soldiers were ordered to release Yang Song directly.


    "My Lord, I almost can''t come back from my humble position. My Lord, Liu Xiu slandered me and framed me." Yang Songfei also seems to escape back, standing beside Zhang Lu, is very angry way: "Lord, Liu Xiu want to default, he deliberately said so, he deliberately want to turn his face and refuse to recognize people."


    Zhang Lu said solemnly, "is it true that Liu Xiu said that you have sullied his general''s wife?"


    When Yang Song heard the words, he was speechless.


    Zhang Lu saw in the eye, scold a way: "say, exactly is how to return a responsibility?"


    Yang Song said, "I was in Liu Xiu''s house. A woman came to serve me. Then, something happened. However, this is the woman''s voluntary. It has nothing to do with her humble position! "


    After listening, Zhang Lu looked at Liu Xiu with a dignified expression.


    When it comes to right and wrong, Zhang Lu believes that Yang song does not dare to mess around.


    So, it was Liu Xiu who calculated Yang Song.


    Zhang Lu''s face shows a look of thinking. If this matter is not handled properly, Liu Xiu is likely to take the opportunity to make trouble and break the previous agreement.


    Liu Xiu stared at Zhang Lu and said, "what''s your plan, prefect Zhang?"


    To attack Zhang Lu, there must be enough reasons.


    Yang Song is the fuse.


    Zhang LUSHEN took a breath. At this time, he felt that Liu Xiu was too vicious. He was really unscrupulous. But at this moment, Zhang Lu had no choice, directly ordered: "come on, arrest Yang Song!"


    Upon hearing this, Yang Song said in a loud voice, "Lord, I have been wronged in my humble position, and I have been desired!"


    Zhang Lu said: "you have defiled the people under Liu Jingzhou, and you dare to quibble. Come on, get him to the right place. "


    "No, Lord, no!"


    Yang Song struggled, but two soldiers stood him up and Yang Song couldn''t move.


    Zhang Lu said in a sharp voice: "chop!"


    Yang Song struggled, but the soldiers supported him. He couldn''t move at all. He saw a knife falling in the air. In an instant, a shed of blood splashed out and splashed on the ground.


    A head, fell on the ground, bone rolling two times, then no longer move.


    Yang Song''s body also fell to the ground.


    Zhang Lu took a look at Yang Song''s body, and a trace of impatience passed over his face. But it was replaced by a look of awe. Zhang Lu is not willing to break up with Liu Xiu and does not want to break the current situation.


    Therefore, Yang song can only be sacrificed.


    With a solemn expression, Zhang Lu looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Jingzhou, Yang Song, who defiled the woman, should be punished. Now, I''m satisfied with the fact that I''ve brought him to justice. "


    Liu xiuxiao said: "Zhang Taishou is really a person who is jealous of evil. I admire him."


    Zhang Lu said: "now, can we talk about the appointment?"


    "Of course!"


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    Zhang Lu said, "now, please let Liu Jingzhou release Liu Zhang."


    Liu Xiu replied with a smile: "I''ve released all the people, but Liu Zhang doesn''t want to leave Chengdu. Tai Shou Zhang, I''ve already finished what I agreed, so I can''t do anything about it. ""You..."


    Zhang Lu''s eyes widened. He didn''t expect Liu Xiu to be so shameless.


    Zhang Lu said, "Liu Xiu, you will regret it."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "I never know what regret is. But the tone of Zhang Taishou is like this. Is he going to tear up the alliance with me? Do you want to go to war with me? "


    Zhang Lu said coldly, "I''m afraid you won''t succeed."


    Liu Xiu let out a long voice and said, "I don''t know, but I don''t know that Zhang Taishou is such a brave man. Taishou Zhang, don''t blame me for not reminding you that the army under your command may not be my opponent. "


    "Arrogance


    Zhang Lu''s eyes became cold and fierce.


    In order to let Liu Xiu release Liu Zhang, he has killed Yang Song.


    But in the end, Liu Xiu refused.


    Damn it!


    In Zhang Lu''s heart, anger began to breed.


    An impulse to order the rush came out in Zhang Lu''s heart.


    Seeing that Zhang Lu didn''t look right, Yan Pu quickly advised him, "Lord, don''t be impulsive, don''t be impulsive! Liu Xiu, this is to motivate you on purpose. Don''t fall into the trap. "


    For Liu Xiu''s purpose, Yan Pu is clear at a glance.


    Obviously, Liu Xiu is at war with us.


    So Liu Xiucai specially calculated Yang Song, and then caused the contradiction between the two sides.


    Zhang Lu big sleeve a whisk, way: "impulse again how?"? What about the exciting general? Liu Xiu has already planned to default on his debts. Under such circumstances, what should I have to worry about? "


    Yang Ren, as the chief General of the army, was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. He said, "my Lord, Liu Xiu deceives people too much. If we retreat like this, where will the Lord face? Under these tens of thousands of eyes, what kind of image is the Lord. Lord, kill him. This time, we must teach Liu Xiu a hard lesson. "


    After hearing this, Zhang Lu''s expression became serious.


    Go to war!


    At the moment, Zhang Lu only has this idea in his mind.


    Immediately, Zhang Lu retreated and ordered: "beat the drum!"


    "Dong! Dong


    The war drums are beating and reverberate on the battlefield in an instant.


    The powerful sound of war drums made the atmosphere of both sides tense.


    Liu Xiu saw in the eyes, but also returned to the front of the army. Liu Xiu has already made arrangements for this war. Chen Dao, Zhao Yun and the army of Wen pin have all taken action.


    The last thing Liu Xiu was afraid of was war!


    Zhang Lu''s war is in Liu Xiu''s heart.


    With a wave of Liu Xiu''s hand, the soldiers under his command also beat the drums.


    "Dong! Dong! "


    The battle drums resound through the battlefield, like the sound of gold and iron, soaring into the sky, resounding through the battlefield. The voice wave after wave, gradually actually suppressed the voice of Zhang Lu''s soldiers.


    Zhang Lu see in the eyes, feel only provocation!


    This is Liu Xiu''s provocation!


    Zhang Lu couldn''t help it any more. He drew his sword out of its sheath with a clang sound and roared: "kill


    With a command, Zhang Lu''s soldiers were killed.


    "Kill


    "Kill Liu Xiu!"


    "Kill Liu Xiu!"


    At the same time, Yang Ren, as a general in the army, was killed by his horse. Yang Ren, as a general under Zhang Lu''s command, could not help seeing Liu Xiu humiliate Zhang Lu.


    "Liu Xiu, take your life!"


    Yang Ren roared and raced to Liu Xiu with a weapon.


    When Liu Xiu saw that Zhang Lu had sent troops, he also ordered: "kill!"


    With a command, the flag swayed, and three armies were killed at the same time.


    The army headed by Huang Hu is the flying tiger camp of Huang Hu.


    The second army was shamoko''s barbarian battalion.


    The third army is Chen Zhi''s army.


    The three armies rushed to the Zhang Lu soldiers. The two armies were facing each other in the front. In a flash, they had already met and started the most fierce fight.

 Chapter 575

    This is the simplest, most direct and most brutal way of fighting.


    The loss of soldiers on both sides is also to the maximum.


    The level of combat effectiveness, the level of morale and the strength of the general determine the final result of the fight.


    "Kill


    "Capture Zhang Lu alive and make contributions."


    Huang Hu is fighting with a golden hammer in a drum jar. This guy is a human bulldozer on the battlefield. He has two golden hammers in his hand, which bow from left to right. Wherever he goes, people are turning upside down and no one can stop him.


    Looking down from the sky, it''s like a plow and harrow pushing forward.


    "Kill


    Shamoko roared, and his iron briers swept through the air, killing the soldiers of Hanzhong.


    The soldiers of wuximan are rebellious, and they are even more wild after seeing the blood. One by one, the soldiers were crying and fighting, just like tigers and wolves rushing into the sheep, constantly devouring the lives of Hanzhong soldiers.


    Among the top generals, only the army led by Chen Zhi was well behaved.


    Chen Dao not only pushed forward steadily, but also took care of the direction of Huang Hu and Sha Moke.


    To some extent, Chen has to take care of both.


    In the blink of an eye, Huang Hu was already heading for Yang renchong. When Liu Xiu and Zhang Lu met at the beginning, Huang Hu met Yang Ren and knew that Yang Ren was an important general under Zhang Lu.


    Now that Yang Ren is here, Huang Hu can''t let shamoke and Chen Dao pick up a bargain.


    "Kill


    Huang Hu is carrying a golden hammer to open the way. In a twinkling of an eye, he is less than ten steps away from Yang Ren.


    The front is full of Hanzhong soldiers, Huang Hu roared: "those who block me will die!"


    No one can stop where the golden hammer of the drum jar passes.


    Yang Ren also knew Huang Hu. He was born with divine power, but he thought he would not lose to Huang Hu. He roared: "Huang Hu, Yang Ren is here, take life!"


    Yang Ren''s weapon is a long knife, weighing 69 Jin. The blade is sharp. The blade is forged with refined steel. The hair is blown and the hair is broken.


    "Hum!"


    As soon as the blade turned in the air, it pointed at Huang Hu.


    "Chop!"


    Yang Ren''s eyes showed a determined look.


    The blade fell and cleaved to Huang Hu''s face.


    "You''re too much for yourself, you want to die!" Huang Hu saw Yang Ren take the initiative to kill, not angry but happy, in the hands of the drum urn gold hammer wheel in the air, directly hit up.


    "Cape hammer!"


    Huang Hu drank low, and the golden hammer of the drum jar speeded up suddenly and hit the blade.


    "Dang!"


    A violent crash, suddenly sounded.


    "Ah


    A scream, Yang Ren in the hands of the long knife was almost unable to grasp, and the tiger was cracked.


    Yang Ren''s face turned pale, and his eyes showed a look of fear. He uses 69 Jin broadsword in both hands, and his strength is very strong. No one under Zhang Lu is his opponent. It is because of this that Yang Ren dares to compete with Huang Hu. But I didn''t expect that Huang Hu''s power was so domineering.


    With one blow, he cracked.


    With one blow, his Qi and blood were churning, and his internal organs were almost traumatized.


    Speaking late, then fast, Yang Ren thought a lot in his heart, but it was just a matter in the blink of an eye.


    "Mount Tai hammer!"


    Huang Hu''s move changed again. He swung the golden hammer from the drum jar to Yang Ren. A hammer down, powerful sink, like meteorite from the sky, momentum unparalleled.


    Yang Ren is surrounded by soldiers, unable to retreat, and there is a yellow tiger in front of him, unable to move forward.


    There is no way to advance or retreat but to fight to the death.


    Yang Ren holds the handle of the knife in both hands, holding it up like a overlord holding a tripod, and then pushing it up.


    The gold hammer of the drum jar fell and hit the handle of the knife.


    "Dang!"


    Loud voice, suddenly sounded, people are eardrum pain.


    The strong and boundless anti earthquake force suddenly spread out.


    The yellow tiger was not affected at all, but Yang Ren snorted. It was not only the crack of the tiger''s mouth, but also the bleeding of the corner of his mouth. His Qi and blood fluctuated and his breath was disordered. He had been beaten by the yellow tiger and had no fighting power.


    "No, I can''t die here."


    Yang Ren biting steel teeth, gathered the strength of the whole body, suddenly roared: "open ah!"


    All the power burst out, and the handle of the knife broke the golden hammer of the drum jar.


    At the moment when the hammer was pushed open, Huang Hu was not impatient. The golden hammer in the drum jar of his left hand shook in the air and fell down again.


    "Hoo


    The golden hammer of the drum jar passed in the air, and in an instant it reached the top of Yang Ren''s head.


    At this time, Yang Ren had already exhausted himself.


    Seeing that the golden hammer of the drum jar fell, Yang Ren wanted to escape, but the angle of the falling golden hammer suddenly changed, and it happened to fall on Yang Ren''s head.


    "Bang!"With a dull sound, Yang Ren''s head broke, and his whole head was beaten down.


    The blood puffed out. Yang Ren didn''t even make a sound. As soon as he shook, he fell to the ground.


    Huang Hu killed Yang Ren and roared: "Yang Ren is dead, the one who blocks me is dead!"


    At this time, the yellow tiger was covered with blood, which dotted his face and body, and made him look like a demon God coming to the world.


    In Huang Hu''s shape, within one foot of the surroundings, the soldiers retreated.


    He was so empty that no one dared to come near him.


    Huang Hu roared: "sons, kill with me, kill!"


    "Da! Dada


    The horse''s hooves trampled on the ground, and the yellow tiger kept on sprinting.


    In front of Hanzhong soldiers, constantly fleeing.


    When Huang Hu tore the defense line like a sharp cone, so did shamoko and Chen Dao. Two people are constantly fighting, began to lead the soldiers continue to advance.


    The situation on the battlefield began to change.


    Liu Xiu''s soldiers pushed forward, while Hanzhong soldiers began to retreat.


    Fighting between people is often a contest of morale.


    Once there is a rout on one side, it will soon spread and affect the whole army. At this time, the soldiers under Zhang Lu''s command were just like this. Countless soldiers began to fear when they saw the Jingzhou army killed.


    "Jingzhou army is too strong. Withdraw quickly!"


    "General Yang Ren is dead. We can''t stop him. We can''t stop him!"


    "Retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"


    "I don''t want to die. I want to go back to Hanzhong. I want to go back."


    The soldiers roared, and their eyes were in panic. After the army was filled with the idea of defeat, countless Hanzhong soldiers had already lost their fighting spirit and did not dare to resist any more.


    The battlefield is a wonderful place.


    In a situation of equal strength, it is difficult to decide whether to win or lose with countless casualties. Only the last soldier will be left in the battle.


    However, once one side''s morale is defeated, it will be a downfall.


    The situation is completely out of control!


    Liu Xiu paid close attention to the development of the situation and saw that the situation on the battlefield had been beneficial to him. No longer hesitating, he ordered: "beat the drum, and give the soldiers more strength."


    The drum beating soldiers were all high spirited, with their bare upper body and strong arms carrying drumsticks, beating hard on the hammer face.


    "Dong! Dong


    The vigorous drum sound is more and more exciting and magnificent.


    When the soldiers in front of them heard this, they were even more inspired and rushed one by one.


    The situation is advancing, and the speed of Hanzhong army''s defeat is getting faster and faster. The collapse of the morale, like a snowball, became bigger and bigger, more and more urgent, making the Hanzhong army''s rout gradually become a full-scale escape.


    Standing beside Zhang Lu, Yan Pu felt bitter when he saw that the situation had failed.


    The gap between the two sides is too big!


    Liu Xiu is so powerful that only Cao Cao can resist him.


    Yan Pu said, "Lord, we can''t stop it. If we continue to resist, the losses will be more serious. Order the withdrawal. "


    Zhang Lu looked at the situation of erosion, his expression was full of pain. He had planned to go to war because he thought that there were 40000 or 50000 soldiers under his command. Even if he was fighting for the number of soldiers, he was not afraid of Liu Xiu! But I didn''t expect to be completely unstoppable as soon as the war started.


    It''s a failure!


    Zhang Lu''s expression was also bitter.


    Yan Pu saw that Zhang Lu didn''t speak, so he hurriedly said, "my Lord, give an order now! If we don''t give orders, we won''t be able to leave then. "


    These words just reminded Zhang Lu, he immediately ordered: "withdraw!"


    With a command, the sound of the Gong resounds in the battlefield.


    Zhang Lu did not dare to resist any more, so he immediately turned around, escorted by his own guards, and then quickly retreated. Yan Pu closely follows Zhang Lu, so that he will not be caught up in the rescue area of Pro guard, and no one will resist the pursuit.


    The Hanzhong army was defeated like a mountain and kept on escaping.


    Liu Xiu''s army, however, began a fierce pursuit, constantly killing the fleeing Hanzhong army.

 Chapter 576

    Liu Xiu''s army pursued for an hour and a half before withdrawing.


    The army came back all the way and began to count the results.


    At night, it was almost early in the morning when everything was finally counted and the whole day was busy.


    Chinese army big account!


    Chen Dao, Yan Yan and Huo Jun come to the camp.


    Huo Jun looked happy and said, "Lord, in today''s World War I, we killed as many as 6000 Hanzhong soldiers and captured as many as 15000 Hanzhong soldiers. Zhang Lu interrogated the soldiers of Hanzhong army in his humble position, and nearly none of them were perfect. In this war, we have almost destroyed half of their strength. "


    "Good!"


    On Liu Xiu''s face, there was a bright smile.


    As soon as the words changed, Liu Xiu said, "what are our losses in this war?"


    Chen Dao replied: "we have only lost 2000 soldiers in this battle. The wounded soldiers are all in the process of diagnosis and treatment. It will not be a big problem."


    Thinking of the victory of the war, Chen Dao couldn''t help smiling.


    As a matter of fact, if Chen Zhi led the army to fight with Hanzhong army alone, it would not have been so successful.


    Huang Hu and shamoko also contributed to this. Without Huang Hu''s Flying Tiger camp soldiers and shamoko''s barbarians fighting, this battle would not have been so easy.


    Liu Xiu listened to the loss of the army, but also slightly nodded.


    Such a loss, in exchange for such a big victory, it is quite good.


    Huo Jun''s joyful expression disappeared and replaced it with a dignified look, saying: "Lord, the most important thing now is how to deal with the prisoners. Eating more than 10000 prisoners at one time will add a great burden to the army. Even though Chengdu has plenty of food and grass, the more than 10000 mouths, together with our own soldiers, can not win the day''s food consumption. "


    Liu Xiu asked, "what are you going to do with it?"


    Huo Jun said: "there are two aspects to consider humble position."


    Liu xiudao: "you say!"


    Huo Jun said: "first, select the best from the 15000 soldiers. I believe that the selection of elite must be the elite of elite, not the general elite. On initial consideration, it''s almost enough to select a thousand people. "


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and agreed with Huo Jun''s arrangement.


    It''s good to pick the best.


    Liu Xiu said, "what about the second?"


    Huo Jun continued: "second, release all the prisoners. But before they are released, we must let these soldiers know that the Lord has already sent soldiers to attack Hanzhong, and now Hanzhong is in his hands. "


    "There are two benefits to this."


    "On the one hand, these soldiers will definitely return to Zhang Lu''s camp again after they escape. When they go back, they will spread the news so that countless people will know that Hanzhong has been attacked and the morale of the army will be in chaos again. Zhang Lu doesn''t want to fight, and it''s impossible to fight again. "


    "On the other hand, Zhao Yun and Lu Su have led the army to leave first, preparing to rob and kill Zhang Lu on the way. When Zhang Lu was attacked in the rear, he withdrew his troops in a hurry. He did not expect us to be robbed and killed on the way. Virtually, it weakens Zhang Lu and enhances Zhao Yun''s chances of winning. "


    Huo Jun''s eyes sparkled with wisdom, and he was very confident.


    If Zhang Lu''s strength is strong enough, Huo Jun will not release the prisoners, but Zhang Lu has already lost his family. Under such circumstances, the release of the prisoners will not enhance Zhang Lu''s strength, but will weaken Zhang Lu''s strength.


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "OK, I agree with your suggestion."


    Huo Jun also said: "the humble duty is to release all the prisoners, we should be disciplining. Naturally, the preacher is the most suitable one. "


    Liu Xiu didn''t refuse and said, "it''s too late tonight. Tomorrow morning, you''ll call all the prisoners together, and then I''ll lecture you myself."


    Huo Jun said, "my Lord is wise!"


    Liu Xiu waved his hand, and Chen Dao, Huo Jun and others left the camp.


    ¡­¡­


    The night was hazy and a full moon rose.


    In the cold moonlight of the Han Army camp.


    Chinese army big account!


    Zhang Lu withdrew with the soldiers in a panic. He sat in the camp with a solemn expression and a deep worry in his eyes.


    It''s a terrible defeat!


    More than 50, 000 troops were lost.


    Up to now, there are only more than 10000 soldiers left in the camp.


    In fact, in this battle, in addition to Liu Xiu''s captives and beheaders, many other soldiers were lost in the process of escaping, so that Zhang Lu''s troops lost a lot.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of footwork came from outside the account.


    The tent curtain rolled up, but Yan Pu came in from the outside.


    After Yan Pu stood still, he bowed his hand and made a salute: "I''ve seen my Lord in my humble position."


    "Sit down!"When Zhang Lu waved his hand, his face was haggard and his voice was hoarse. During the day, when he fled, he kept yelling, so that his voice was hoarse.


    Yan Pu gave thanks and sat down.


    Zhang Lu said: "you haven''t had a rest so late. What''s the matter?"


    Yan Pu said: "my Lord, I always feel that Liu Xiu may still have a plan."


    Zhang Lu said: "why?"


    Yan Pu replied, "Liu Xiu is always scheming before moving. He is extremely cunning. Just as he attacked Yizhou, it was actually arranged early. When he attacked Yufu County, Wang Ye, the county magistrate of Yufu County, surrendered. As soon as Zhao Yun attacked Fuling County, the officials in the county actually killed the officials and rebelled. "


    "I''m afraid it''s not easy for Liu Xiu to go to war openly this time."


    "It is our rear area that we are worried about."


    Yan Pu said anxiously: "we fight in the front, once there is a problem in the rear. Then the consequences will be very serious. But this is just a humble guess, and there is no news yet. "


    As soon as Zhang Lu heard this, he felt a thump in his heart.


    It''s possible!


    It''s very possible!


    Liu Xiu has always been cruel and cunning.


    Zhang Lu swallowed his saliva and said, "Yan Pu, your analysis is reasonable. Maybe when Liu Xiu was planning Yizhou, he had already started planning Hanzhong. Unfortunately, it''s a pity that we were lured by him, so that our master was so dazzled by his interests that he believed Liu Xiu''s words. Otherwise, if we don''t attack Yizhou, Liu Xiu will also face difficulties. "


    Yan Pu sighed: "no matter what, there is no way now. Now, we just need to be prepared. Take a rest tonight, and retreat at full speed tomorrow morning. "


    Zhang Lu heard the speech and nodded heavily.


    Suddenly, Zhang Lu said: "Yan Pu, I am not willing to be defeated or cheated by Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu first captured Yizhou, but now he''s back. He''s clearly trying to capture the whole of Yizhou, even Hanzhong. Liu Xiu is so immoral. I''m not willing. Do you have a plan to defeat the enemy? "


    When Yan Pu heard the speech, he gave a bitter smile.


    How to defeat the enemy?


    Now it is quite difficult to turn the situation around.


    Yan Pu thought about it and said, "Lord, it''s impossible for us to change the situation. The reason is that we have lost our first hand in this war. You see, Bajun is in Liu Xiu''s hands, and Chengdu is in Liu Xiu''s hands. Even now we only have more than 10000 people left. We don''t have enough food and equipment. We can''t win. "


    "Alas..."


    Zhang Lu heard the speech and sighed.


    Yan Pu said: "in addition, I''m worried that Hanzhong will not be able to defend. At that time, the Lord should prepare for the worst and ask Cao Cao for help when he returns to Hanzhong. At present, we can''t resist Liu Xiu. So we can only ask Cao Cao for help. Only Cao Cao''s troops can contain Liu Xiu. "


    Zhang Lu frowned slightly when he heard the speech.


    To ask Cao Cao for help, isn''t it to lead the wolf into the house and let Cao Cao, the hungry wolf, enter Hanzhong? Even if Cao Cao defeated Liu Xiu, Zhang Lu still couldn''t keep Hanzhong, because Cao Cao would not leave after he came to Hanzhong.


    Yan Pu saw Zhang Lu''s expression and said, "Lord, we have no choice."


    Hearing this, Zhang Lu sighed, "Alas..."


    After waving his hand, Zhang Lu signals Yan Pu to step down. He wants to be quiet and calm down, so that he won''t be completely submerged by the current low mood.


    Zhang Lu clenched his fist and calculated to loosen it. He clenched his fist again and then loosened it. So back and forth, several times in a row, Zhang Lu finally gave a long breath, and then returned to bed to rest.


    We can''t control the situation, we have to let it go.

 Chapter 577

    In the morning, the sun rises.


    Jingzhou army!


    Barracks, school yard.


    More than 15000 prisoners were put in the school yard. All the people are basking in the early summer sun, but for the time being, it doesn''t matter. They just feel warm.


    It''s just that every face is full of worries.


    As prisoners, they may be killed at any time. I don''t know what their result will be? The soldiers of Hanzhong army were talking to each other, and they were constantly discussing, so that there was a constant buzz in the school yard.


    More than ten thousand people chatted. It was like a vegetable market.


    "Silence


    All of a sudden, a loud voice came.


    The sound of the explosion was as quiet as the ground.


    All the prisoners shut up.


    Countless eyes fell on the front, and Liu Xiu came to the camp with Chen Dao, Huo Jun, Huang Hu and Sha Moke. Chen Dao, Huo Jun and others are standing below, while Liu Xiu goes to the front stage.


    This high platform was built temporarily, Liu Xiu said.


    Facing the 15000 Chinese soldiers, Liu Xiu took a deep breath and said in a loud voice: "soldiers, I''m standing here today. I have something to say to you. But before I say that, I can tell you a piece of good news. "


    As soon as he said this, countless people were happy.


    One eye is full of expectation.


    Good news!


    Don''t you want to kill them?


    For the captured soldiers of Hanzhong army, as long as they can keep their own lives, that is the matter of Amitabha. As for other good things, don''t even think about it.


    A pair of eyes, looking forward to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu raised his voice and said, "I tell you that not only will I not kill you, but also I will choose one thousand of you to rush into the army and make contributions in the army. The rest who have not been selected will be released. "


    Boom!


    In an instant, there was a commotion in the school yard.


    Countless cheers, endless laughter, one after another.


    "Liu Jingzhou is really the benevolent Lord. Thank you very much."


    "Liu Jingzhou is a good man. I think there is no doubt that he will die. I didn''t expect that Liu Jingzhou would release me. That''s great."


    "Well, it''s good not to die at last."


    Long live Liu Jingzhou


    Long live Liu Jingzhou


    Countless prisoners cheered and their faces were full of joy. Last night, countless prisoners were worried about their own lives, but now they don''t have to worry any more.


    Long live Liu Jingzhou


    Long live Liu Jingzhou


    Countless people cheered, but the voice was gradually unified.


    In this voice is crying gratitude, crying the joy of the rest of life, incomparable joy.


    The boundless voice drowned everyone.


    At this moment, it seemed that only the cheers of the soldiers were left in the school yard.


    Liu Xiu''s face was also full of smile after listening. As a matter of fact, as long as there is enough food, prisoners will not be killed unless there is not enough food.


    In history, when Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, he followed Cheng Yu''s advice and killed countless prisoners.


    The situation at that time was not that Cao Cao was fond of killing.


    In fact, under Cao Cao''s rule, only Qingzhou and Yanzhou had to face Yuan Shao in the north and Yuan Shu in the south. Under such circumstances, it was difficult for Cao Cao to support his own soldiers, let alone prisoners.


    Before defeating Yuan Shao, Cao Cao''s food was tense.


    Therefore, Cao Cao can only kill countless prisoners.


    Of course, the final price is that Cao Cao has become a great devil, and has been criticized by countless people as a killer. But I don''t know the price of firewood and rice. It''s not easy to know when I''m really in that position.


    Liu Xiu is sure to defeat Zhang Lu in this battle, and he has enough food, so he doesn''t plan to kill the prisoners.


    Liu Xiu raised his hand and pressed it down. Suddenly, countless soldiers shut up.


    After a while, everyone was quiet.


    The silence in the school yard was restored again. Countless people looked at Liu Xiu with gratitude in their eyes.


    Liu Xiu stood on the stage with a solemn expression and said in a loud voice: "soldiers, I can tell you for sure. Soon, you will be the people under my command, so I will let you go back to your hometown. "


    "Why do you say that? It''s because I can tell you for sure that I will defeat Zhang Lu."


    "Hanzhong will no longer belong to Zhang Lu, but to my official."


    Liu Xiu expression solemn, said: "some people certainly do not accept, said you LIU Xiu although powerful, although now defeated Zhang Lu, but in Hanzhong, strong dragon does not pressure the snake, can defeat Zhang Lu that also two said."


    "But I can say that if my army enters Hanzhong, it will win.""Because when Zhang Lu fled back, Hanzhong had already been captured."


    Liu Xiu''s tone became slightly agitated, and he said in a loud voice: "when our officer and Zhang Lu fought in Chengdu, our army had already stationed troops at the Hanzhong County border, and now they have launched an attack. Without Zhang Lu and the army stationed in Hanzhong County, can it resist? It''s obviously impossible. "


    "So there is no suspense about this war."


    "You are prisoners now, but soon, you will be the people under my government, so I won''t kill you."


    Liu xiushou waved cadently in the air and said: "now, Chen will come to select the soldiers. Among you, one thousand elites will be selected and added to our command. Then the rest of the captives will get some dry food and go away. "


    After that, Liu Xiu retreated, and countless prisoners were silly.


    Liu Xiu sent troops to attack Hanzhong county.


    Zhang Lu is still in Chengdu and can''t go back to support him.


    After thinking about it, all the prisoners thought that Zhang Lu would be defeated, because Zhang Lu could not keep it.


    The soldiers talked a lot, but soon Chen arrived on the stage. He looked at all the prisoners and gave a direct order: "listen, all the people over 20 and under 30, all stand forward and gather under the high platform."


    The first criterion for Zhao Yun to select the elite prisoners is age.


    Zhao Yun did not know any of the prisoners.


    So that''s the only way to choose.


    For half an hour, all the people over 20 and under 30 gathered under the stage. Zhao Yun asked these soldiers to stand in a line of 50 people. After a short time, they all formed a line.


    There were 45 platoons of soldiers, including 2250.


    More than 1000 people will be deleted from this group.


    Zhao Yun carefully looked at these people, but found that some of them were obviously not of this age.


    Zhao Yun asked the soldiers to take away all the remaining 10000 people. Then the school yard was hollowed out, and he ordered the remaining 2250 people to start running around the school yard.


    A circle down the school field, full of three thousand meters.


    Zhao Yun''s condition is ten laps, the person who runs in the front can stay.


    After Zhao Yun selected a thousand people, when Zhao Yun wanted to demobilize them all, Huang Hu and Sha Moke came to kill them. They were just like soldiers. They took away the first thousand people and left behind 1250 people for Zhao Yun.


    Zhao Yun grinned bitterly, but he didn''t have the same insight as Huang Hu and Sha Moke, and finally accepted the remaining 1250 people.


    As for the rest of the soldiers, dry food was distributed and all were demobilized.


    Liu Xiu stood in the camp, watching the soldiers of Hanzhong army leave with a smile on his face. According to Huo Jun''s plan, these soldiers who left will be the rumor spreaders and will bring all the news to Zhang Lu.


    Liu Xiu can be sure that some of the more than 10000 soldiers who left will no longer return to Zhang Lu''s army, but will simply go back to their hometown. But there are still some people who will definitely return to Zhang Lu.


    This group of people, is to Zhang Lu caused a fatal blow.


    Once Zhang Lu learned that the rear was unstable and that Hanzhong was under attack, Zhang Lu would not be able to sit still and would fly back to Hanzhong.

 Chapter 578

    Zitong county was established in the Qin Dynasty.


    In Zitong County, the terrain is higher in the northeast and lower in the southwest, while in the middle of Zitong County, there is a low concave Tongjiang River Valley. Zhang Lu''s route to withdraw is to move from the southwest, from the northeast and from the low to the high.


    Zhao Yun led his troops to ambush in the Tongjiang River Valley in the middle of the country.


    It''s June and it''s hot.


    The water of Tongjiang River also began to rise sharply. Although the river is not turbulent, the water shoreline is much higher.


    Zhang Lu''s army had to cross the Tongjiang River to go north.


    Zhao Yun and Lu Su chose to intercept on the North Bank of Tongjiang river.


    On the north bank, in a mountain forest.


    The army is stationed!


    Zhao Yun and Lu Su lived in the mountains, and the soldiers in the army were waiting.


    "Chaka! Click


    Feet in the woods, sound.


    A soldier quickly came to Zhao Yun''s position and reported: "general, there are sentinels in the rear to report the news."


    "Bring it here!"


    Zhao Yun said directly.


    Lu Su said: "the Lord''s sentry has arrived. It seems that the war in Chengdu is over."


    Zhao Yun said: "there is a lord in Chengdu, as well as Huang Hu, Sha Moke, Chen Zhi and others. There is no suspense about this battle. I just don''t know if Zhang Lu will be defeated on the spot. If Zhang Lu loses on the spot, it''s really disappointing. "


    Lu Su chuckled and said: "general, no matter how incompetent Zhang Lu is, there are nearly 50000 soldiers. This force is not easily defeated. Even if Zhang Lu is defeated, it is not easy to defeat so many soldiers. "


    "I hope so," said Zhao Yun


    Lu Su said: "is the general worried that there will be no war?"


    Zhao Yun laughed and said, "wenpin has gone to Hanzhong. With his strength, he can easily capture the empty Hanzhong. Obviously, wenpin is sure to make contributions. And Zhang Lu is bound to lose in the face of the Lord. Once Zhang Lu faces the Lord, he will be completely defeated and captured. What else can we do? You can''t get any good. "


    "Then how can I win the reward for the soldiers after this war?"


    "So we have to hope that Zhang Lu will lead the soldiers to escape."


    "Only when Zhang Lu escapes, can we have a chance to capture Zhang Lu alive and win in one go."


    As a general, Zhao Yun not only considers the overall situation, but also the situation of his soldiers. If the soldiers are not benefited in this battle, how can they fight bravely and fearlessly? If the benefits are won over by other armies, the soldiers under Zhao Yun''s command will certainly have opinions.


    Therefore, Zhao Yun hopes that Zhang Lu will escape.


    Lu Su nodded slightly and said, "general, Zhang Lu is sure to come. It''s not easy for the Lord to take down Zhang Lu in one go. "


    "Rustle!"


    A burst of footwork came, and the sentry sent by Liu Xiu came.


    Zhao Yun said: "do not salute, let''s say, what''s the situation in the rear?"


    The sentinel answered with a fist: "Liu Jingzhou has defeated Zhang Lu, and now Zhang Lu is on the run."


    After a brief introduction, the sentinel took out a letter from his underwear and handed it to Zhao Yun. This letter is still sealed with fire paint and has not been blocked.


    Zhao Yun tore up the letter and took it to check.


    After he looked at it carefully, a smile appeared on his face and handed it to Lu su.


    Zhao Yun looked at the sentry and said, "go back and tell the Lord that Ben will be ready to defeat Lu su."


    "No!"


    The sentry got the order, turned and stepped down.


    Lu Su, with a smile on his face, said, "general, the Lord has released more than 10000 prisoners this time and told the soldiers about wenpin''s attack on Hanzhong. This is a wonderful move! In this way, Zhang Lu''s army must have lost their heart and never wanted to fight again. Even in order to get back to Hanzhong, Zhang Lu would go at full speed regardless of the cost. We will win this battle. "


    Zhao Yun said: "yes, Zhang Lu has lost his family. Under such circumstances, it would be a shame if Zhang Lu could not be defeated. "


    Lu Su thought about it and said, "I don''t think it''s appropriate for us to ambush Zhang Lu on the north bank."


    Zhao Yun said, "why?"


    Lu Su simple way: "too guard!"


    Zhao Yun''s sword eyebrows picked, and a look of meditation appeared on his face.


    Lu Su said: "once the fleeing soldiers return to Zhang Lu''s army, there is no need to consider that Zhang Lu''s army will never be able to unite again. At that time, Zhang Lu himself is a dog who has lost his family. He is in constant fear. "


    "For such a large army, we only need to attack them head on and force them to places where they can''t escape. We are now stationed in the north bank, where most of the soldiers lie in ambush, and there are troops in the south bank waiting for us to defeat Zhang Lu. ""It''s certain that we can defeat Zhang Lu, but it''s too slow."


    Lu Su''s expression was solemn and said: "even once Zhang Lu retreats and runs away in other directions in the process of escape, it is difficult for us to capture Zhang Lu alive. Although Tongjiang river is good and a good place to stop Zhang Lu, there is no need to be so safe. "


    Zhao Yun asked, "where are you going to set up an ambush?"


    Lu Su waved his hand and asked the soldiers to bring the map.


    This map belongs to Zitong county. Lu Su''s hand is on the southwest entrance of Zitong county.


    In this area, the terrain is relatively flat.


    Many places are open plains.


    Lu Su pointed to one of the hillside shapes and said, "I have observed this place at the junction of Zitong county and Fu County. It''s called the Tian River Valley. It''s said that the Tian river once tilted and washed into a valley, so it''s flat all around and there are few hillsides and woodlands. It''s an excellent place for fighting. "


    "We will withdraw our troops and stay in the northeast of Tianhe Valley leading to Zitong county. At the same time, ambush troops in the southeast and southwest, leaving only the northwest. "


    "On this day, although the valley is flat on all sides, it is in the northwest. Although the ten mile road at the beginning is flat, the more you go to the northwest, the more the valley is. In the end, it turned out to be the bottom of a mountain and valley, unable to climb, but stuck in it. "


    Lu Su''s eyes were sharp, and he said: "we buried ambushes on three sides, waiting for Zhang Lu''s army to enter the Tian River Valley. At that time, we will lead our troops out from the north and East. "


    "It''s impossible for Zhang Lu to retreat, but if we retreat, our ambush at the southwest entrance will be enough to cut off Zhang Lu''s retreat and let him turn around and retreat again."


    "Once Zhang Lu retreats to the northwest, we will pursue him directly."


    "Once Zhang Lu retreats to the southeast, the southeast army will kill him again, and Zhang Lu can also be taken as an example in the northwest."


    Lu Su looked confident and said: "since we want to defeat Zhang Lu, we need to capture Zhang Lu alive. This is the most appropriate way. What do you think, general? "


    Zhao Yun smell speech, the face also has a smile, way: "good, so do."


    As for Lu Su''s suggestion, Zhao Yun had no reasoning at all. He knew that the plan could be carried out.


    Because now Zhang Lu is already defeated and can''t bear the first World War. For Zhao Yun, it''s how to beat Zhang Lu, not how to beat Zhang Lu.


    Lu Su said with a smile: "general, we have to speed up. If Zhang Lu''s army retreats to Tianhe Valley first, all the plans will be in vain. "


    Zhao Yun nodded and said, "come on!"


    A soldier came up and stood with a bow.


    Zhao Yun ordered: "summon the troops to retreat and retreat to Tianhe Valley in Zitong county."


    After an order was given, the soldiers in the forest on the north bank moved quickly. Under the leadership of Zhao Yun, countless soldiers went out of the mountains and crossed the Tongjiang river. Then Zhao Yun joined up with the army on the south bank and made a quick march.


    Nearly 30000 troops were on their way, mighty and fast.


    In order to arrive before Zhang Lu, Zhao Yun ordered his soldiers to rush day and night, and in a day and a half, they had already arrived at the Tianhe valley. At this time, Zhang Lu''s army had not arrived.


    Zhao Yun in accordance with Lu Su''s plan, quickly arranged down.


    After everything was arranged properly, Zhao Yu took Lu Su to look at it again in all directions. After confirming that it was proper, Zhao Yu returned to the northeast direction where he led the army to ambush.

 Chapter 579

    Zhang Lu led his troops to flee in disorder. He did not dare to stay all the way except to rest at night.


    When the army retreated, many soldiers came back to join on the road.


    The number of soldiers under his command gradually exceeded 20000.


    But the daily consumption of grain is also a huge amount, so Zhang Lu can only supply in the counties along the way. Some counties can provide food supplies, but some have closed doors, leaving Zhang Lu helpless.


    Zhang Lugen did not dare to stay, so the army kept on going.


    This night, the moon and stars.


    The moon was hanging in the sky, but Zhang Lu couldn''t sleep on his bed.


    Helpless, Zhang Lu simply out of the camp, patrol in the camp.


    Coincidentally, I met Yan Pu who came out to visit.


    Zhang Lu took Yan Pu back to the camp, looked at him and said, "Yan Pu, although we have more and more soldiers, you can see the morale of the soldiers in the army. The morale of this group of soldiers has been broken. They followed me just because they wanted to escape to Hanzhong, but they didn''t want to fight again. Do you have any way to restore their fighting capacity completely? "


    Yan Pu felt bitter and had to shake his head. There are Liu Xiu''s pursuers in the rear, especially the defeat of the army. It is extremely difficult to reverse the situation and restore the fighting spirit of the soldiers.


    Zhang Lu is not reconciled way: "really have no way?"


    Zhang Lu hated losing to Liu Xiu.


    I hate Liu Xiu for turning over his face.


    I hate that I believe Liu Xiu wrong.


    I hate the defeat of my soldiers!


    In short, Zhang Lu''s heart already has boundless resentment.


    He could not vent his anger without revenge.


    Zhang Lu turned his eyes and said, "just as the saying goes, there must be brave men under the heavy reward. Yan Pu, if my officer gives a promise to the soldiers in the army, can you motivate them?"


    When Yan Pu heard this, he said, "maybe it can be done!"


    Although he said that, Yan Pu understood that Liu Xiu''s army was so strong that no matter what to do, it was impossible to fight with Liu Xiu again. At most, it is impossible for the soldiers to return to Hanzhong with Zhang Lu and fight again.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, outside the tent, a loud voice sounded.


    Zhang Lu said, "come in!"


    The tent curtain rolled up and a middle-aged man with a big figure came in. His name is Yang ang, a general under Zhang Lu. Yang ang, Yang Ren and Yang Song belong to the Yang family in Hanzhong. They have a certain relationship, but they are separated from each other for many generations.


    The Yang family in Hanzhong is the largest family in Hanzhong.


    Most of Zhang Lu''s officials were from the Yang family.


    Because of the full support of the Yang family, Zhang Lu was able to gain a firm foothold in Hanzhong.


    Yang ang came in with a worried look on his face and said, "my Lord, it''s not good. This evening, the deserters suddenly appeared again. Many of them fled quietly. The last general found out and interrogated these soldiers during the night patrol. They said that Liu Xiu had already sent troops to attack Hanzhong, and our rear area was going to sink. That''s why the soldiers fled. "


    "What?"


    When Zhang Lu heard the speech, his mind was blank.


    His eyes were full of disbelief.


    Zhang Lu said, "say it again!"


    Zhang Lu knew that Liu Xiu''s army, whether wenpin or Zhao Yun, were all around him. Besides, how could Liu Xiu have an army to attack Hanzhong?


    Liu Xiu''s troops stationed in Nanyang County bordered Hanzhong, but Nanyang County''s troops needed to resist Cao Ren, so Nanyang County''s troops could not withdraw.


    So, which army will go?


    Zhang Lu didn''t understand, so he didn''t believe it at all.


    Yang ang once again said: "the soldiers said Liu Xiu sent troops to attack Hanzhong and will take it in a few days. That''s why a large number of soldiers in the army began to flee. "


    Zhang Lu''s expression changed again and again, and he was very embarrassed.


    "Creak!"


    Zhang Lu clenched his fist and was very angry.


    Damn it!


    How could such a thing happen at the critical time of retreat.


    Yan Pu had foreseen it for a long time. He looked calm and asked, "General Yang, this news hasn''t come out before. How could this news suddenly come out tonight. What''s going on? "


    Yang ang, this is the truth!


    What''s going on?


    The expression on Yang Ang''s face was full of doubts. He shook his head and said, "Mr. Yan, as soon as he heard that the reason why the soldiers fled was that Liu Xiu said that the rear was attacked, he came in a hurry. In other aspects, the end will not come. I will forget to check this matter. "


    Yan Pu said, "where are the soldiers under control?"


    Yang ang replied, "in the camp!"


    Yan Pu looked at Zhang Lu and said, "Lord, the most important thing at present is to find out where the rumor came from. Now, we have to interrogate right now. Only when we trace back to the source and find out the information behind the scenes can we find the right medicine for the case. ""Yes, yes, you''re right."


    Zhang Lu nodded and stood up. Then he said, "Yang ang, lead the way. I want to see what happened to these people."


    "No!"


    Yang ang turned and went out.


    Zhang Lu and Yan Pu followed, went out of the camp together, and then came to the place where the soldiers were detained.


    There are more than 300 soldiers under Yang Ang''s control.


    In addition, there are soldiers constantly being escorted.


    Apparently, the news has spread.


    Otherwise, it is impossible to make things so serious.


    Zhang Lu stood in front of the soldiers and looked at them one by one. He said coldly, "I''m good at leading you, but you''re running away. Moreover, rumors spread that Liu Xiu had sent troops to attack Hanzhong. If you tell me the rumor about who is walking, I can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, all of you will die. "


    The murderous words are frightening.


    Soldiers who are going to run away, you look at me, I look at you.


    Finally, a young man came out and replied, "Shijun, it''s not the rumor we spread. It''s the deserters who came back during the day. It''s these deserters who said it. They said that after they were captured by Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu not only released them, but also gave them some dry food so that they could escape back. "


    "They also said that Liu Xiuzhi didn''t kill them because they were going to be the people under Liu Xiuzhi."


    "They said Liu Xiu had sent troops to attack Hanzhong."


    The young man was terrified and said, "these are the news spread by the soldiers who escaped during the day, not by us. The reason why the villain ran away was that he saw a lot of people run away and then followed them. "


    After hearing this, Yan Pu''s eyes widened and his face showed a look of horror.


    What a vicious means!


    Liu Xiu released the prisoners, and then spread the news through the prisoners, which immediately disintegrated the morale of Zhang Lu''s soldiers.


    This is a very clever method.


    Without the cost of a single soldier or grain, the army would be in turmoil.


    Even Yan Pu suspected that Liu Xiu might be one of these people, but there were so many soldiers who escaped back that they could not identify who was Liu Xiu''s soldier.


    Yan Pu''s eyes turned, thinking about the solution. It''s hard to deal with this because there are a steady stream of soldiers coming back to join us, but it''s impossible to refuse them.


    Zhang Lu was stunned in the same place. When he heard what the soldiers said, he believed it.


    "Liu Xiu, you insult me too much!"


    Zhang Lu was so angry that he turned his eyes and felt dizzy.


    Under the attack of Qi and blood, Zhang Lu couldn''t restrain the floating Qi and blood, and felt extremely uncomfortable.


    "Poof!"


    Zhang Lu opened his mouth and spewed out blood.


    Immediately, Zhang Lu fell down.


    Yang Ang''s quick eyes and quick hands helped Zhang Lu. See Zhang Lu fainted, Yang Ang''s heart is also impetuous. The current situation is too severe. It is a dead end that cannot be solved.


    Yang ang looked at Yan Pu and asked, "Mr. Yan, what should I do now?"


    Yan Ang''s hope lies in Yang Pu.


    Yan Pu looked at the fainting Zhang Lu and said, "General Yang, do two things now. First, send Shijun back to the camp and let the doctor treat him immediately. Second, you should work hard this evening to lead the soldiers on patrol and forbid any soldiers to leave. Violators, kill! Leave the rest to me and I''ll figure it out as soon as possible. "


    "No!"


    Yang ang nodded, first told the soldiers to take the detainee away, and then took Zhang Lu to the camp.

 Chapter 580

    Chinese army big account!


    The doctor is treating Zhang Lu, while Yan Pu sits aside, thinking about the solution.


    Looking at Zhang Lu''s pale face, Yan Pu was inexplicably agitated.


    Facing Liu Xiu, he also has a sense of powerlessness.


    This battle is really not easy to fight.


    "Ah


    Suddenly, a groan sounded, Zhang Lu opened his eyes full of blood.


    Seeing this, the doctors breathed a sigh of relief.


    The doctor prescribed a prescription for Zhang Lu and then withdrew.


    Only Yan Pu was left in the camp. Yan Pu said solemnly, "Shijun, you need to take care of your health. The doctor has said that you are in a hurry. It''s OK. As long as you take care of yourself, you can recover. "


    Zhang Lu said: "how can we recuperate when we are all at this stage?"


    After a pause, Zhang Lu asked, "where''s Yang Ang?"


    Yan Pu said: "I want Yang ang to patrol the night in person. This evening, we must stop the atmosphere of soldiers escaping. Then tomorrow morning, we''ll do it again. "


    Zhang Lu asked, "do you have a rescue plan?"


    Yan Pu said: "at present, there is only one way."


    "What can I do?" Zhang Lu looks forward to it. He is still a long way from Hanzhong county. If the situation can not be stabilized now, the next road will be very difficult.


    Yan Pu said, "set an example to others and suppress them by force."


    "First of all, tomorrow morning, the Lord will summon the soldiers in the army, then pull out one or two hundred people, chop their heads in front of all the soldiers and show them to the public


    "Second, the Lord refuted the rumor again, and made it clear that the soldiers killed were actually those sent by Liu Xiu to disturb the morale of the army. Liu Xiuzhi did this just to upset our morale. "


    "Thirdly, the Lord will give a heavy reward. All the generals and soldiers who follow the Lord back to Hanzhong will be promoted to a higher level. Everyone''s salaries are doubled. "


    Yan Pu looked serious and said, "the current situation is a matter of life and death. In an extraordinary period, only extraordinary measures can be taken. Otherwise, before we return to Hanzhong, I''m afraid Liu Xiu will catch up with us. "


    After listening, Zhang Lu thought about it carefully.


    Now, that''s the only way to do it.


    It is not enough to suppress the situation without killing.


    No prize, not enough to win the soldiers.


    Zhang Lu listened to Yan Pu''s iron advice and immediately sent soldiers to arrest 100 escaped soldiers.


    The next morning, it was just dawn.


    Zhang Lu directly called all the soldiers in the army together. In front of all the soldiers, Zhang Lu stood on a temporary high platform and looked at all the soldiers.


    Some of these soldiers followed Zhang Lu at the beginning of their retreat, while others fled back one after another.


    More than 20000 soldiers, all standing.


    Looking at all the soldiers, Zhang Lu said in a loud voice: "soldiers, my Division has got bad news. There are Liu Xiu''s people in our camp. In order to disturb the morale of the army, these people even spread rumors that Liu Xiu sent troops to attack Hanzhong. As we all know, Liu Xiu''s army is in Chengdu. Under such circumstances, how could Liu Xiu send troops to attack Chengdu? "


    "Rumors, all these are rumors!"


    "Liu Xiu''s purpose is to disturb the morale of the army."


    "Once our army is in chaos, Liu Xiu can catch up with us. That''s Liu Xiu''s goal. Today, I will kill all those who spread rumors. "


    Zhang Lu was murderous and said, "those who spread rumors will be killed without mercy."


    "Come on, bring people up."


    With an order from Zhang Lu, he got off the high platform, and the soldiers bound one by one were sent to the high platform.


    One by one the executioners stood, all in position.


    Zhang Lu ordered: "kill!"


    A command, a blade in the air across, in an instant, a splash of blood.


    "Plop! Plop


    A corpse fell to the ground, and a hundred heads fell to the ground.


    The blood flowed and dyed the high platform red.


    The scene was daunting.


    When the soldiers in the army saw this scene, their faces showed a look of horror, and they all felt a chill in their necks. One by one, his eyes fell on Zhang Lu, and he saw Zhang Lu mount the stage again.


    In front of all the soldiers, Zhang Lu said in a loud voice: "anyone who spreads rumors will be killed! If any more fleeing soldiers are found, there will be no amnesty for killing them! "


    After giving the order, Zhang Lu looked around all the soldiers.


    Seeing the awe and fear on the faces of the soldiers, Zhang Lu nodded slightly.


    Through this iron action, it is enough to set an example to others and stabilize the situation for the time being. At least, it can ensure the stability of the situation and prevent the soldiers from escaping again.


    Zhang Lu took a deep breath and calmed down his breath.Facing all the soldiers, Zhang Lu once again took a breath and said in a loud voice: "the more Liu Xiu wants to destroy us, the more he wants to defeat us, the more we can''t let Liu Xiu Ruyi."


    "My master will never allow Liu Xiu''s plot to succeed."


    "In order to reward those who are willing to follow me, I promise in front of all of you."


    "From now on, all the soldiers and generals who have followed our master back to Hanzhong. Regardless of the size of the official positions, all officials will be promoted to one level and their salaries will be doubled. "


    Zhang Lu looked excited and said, "my teacher knows that it''s a time of crisis, but when it''s a time of crisis, I see people''s hearts. For those who are finally my master, I will give you a generous reward. "


    This remark, however, caused a sensation.


    The faces of the soldiers of Hanzhong army had a look of joy.


    On the one hand, they are going to flee back to Hanzhong, so it''s also a good way to follow Zhang Lu. On the other hand, Zhang Lu''s solemn reward has attracted countless soldiers and generals.


    For many people, this is an opportunity to be promoted to a higher level.


    Double salary, for soldiers, this is money!


    Countless people were excited.


    Long live Shijun


    "We will follow Shijun to the death!"


    "We will follow Shijun to the death!"


    Lured by money and fame, all the soldiers in the army were full of energy and gradually became cohesive. Although this cohesion is not enough to compete with Liu Xiu, it is enough to ensure that Zhang Lu returns to Hanzhong.


    Countless soldiers, victory cry.


    In the voice, with excitement and fanaticism.


    The soldiers in the army don''t think about escaping any more. They just want to go back with Zhang Lu to get the money.


    Zhang Lu stood at the top, looking at the excited mood of the soldiers below, he was also relieved. He looked at the position of Yan Pu standing under his eyes, and felt a situation in his heart. Fortunately, Yan Pu was there, otherwise he didn''t know what to do.


    The situation in the army has stabilized.


    Zhang Lu gave Yang ang the right of command and let Yang ang direct the army to set out.


    When the army continued to leave, in view of the fact that some soldiers fled back one after another, in order to avoid spreading rumors, Yan Pu suggested Zhang Lu and asked Zhang Lu to order the soldiers to report.


    Anyone who reports someone fleeing or spreading rumors can get a general.


    Since then, the situation has come under control.


    More than 20000 soldiers under Zhang Lu''s command gradually became cohesive. Although the news came from the rear that Liu Xiu was still chasing, at least they had a long way to go with Liu Xiu. In a short time, they would not be attacked by Liu Xiu.


    Therefore, Zhang Lu''s heart is also slightly relieved.


    But Yan Pu was dignified. As Zhang Lu''s chief counselor, Yan Pu knew Liu Xiu''s methods.


    Liu Xiu defeated Cao Cao, attacked Sun Quan, and destroyed Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, which were all solid battles. Liu Xiu''s strategy and the combat effectiveness of his soldiers are undeniable.


    Liu Xiu''s attack on Hanzhong is definitely not so simple.


    So Hanzhong, it''s very likely that it''s really in crisis.


    But Yan Pu knew that the morale of the army was unstable, so he didn''t mention it again, just hid it in his heart. Because even if Hanzhong was attacked, it is still far away from the fire and can not go back to rescue Hanzhong.


    The only chance is for the soldiers in Hanzhong to stick to their guard.


    Yan Pu knew that he could only do his best to listen to the destiny. When he returned to Hanzhong, he would naturally know what was going on. What we can do now is to rush to Hanzhong as fast as possible.

 Chapter 581

    Zhang Lu led his troops into Zitong County, getting closer and closer to Tianhe valley.


    Zhang Lugen didn''t worry about ambush when he retreated all the way.


    After all, he once led the army to attack all the places along the way. In a short time, the army has come to Tianhe valley. Zhang Lu led the army forward, he saw the broad sky Valley, the mood is also happy.


    Entering Zitong county is not far from Hanzhong.


    Zhang Lu looked at Yan Pu and said, "Yan Pu, how can you have a dignified expression on your face?"


    Yan Pu said: "Shijun, I''m just thinking about Hanzhong."


    Zhang Lu said: "relax, it will be OK."


    Yan Pu nodded slightly, but he didn''t repeat it any more.


    Yan Pu also knew about Tian River Valley. This place was not easy to ambush. Especially, they didn''t meet any enemies along the way, so Yan Pu didn''t pay attention to it.


    Zhang Lu is a member of the Chinese army. When Zhang Lu entered the Tianhe Valley, the soldiers at the front had completely entered.


    The front soldiers began to approach the ambush positions of Zhao Yun and Lu su.


    Zhao Yun hid in the mountain forest, looking at the approaching Hanzhong army, his eyes brightened, and said: "commander, according to the information sent back by the sentinel, Zhang Lu is in the central army. Now the front soldiers are approaching us, which means that Zhang Lu has almost entered the Tian River Valley. "


    Lu Su said: "wait a moment, wait a moment, wait for the soldiers to send back the news, we can start."


    "Well!"


    Zhao Yun nodded slightly.


    Two people hide in the forest, waiting quietly.


    "Rustle!"


    After a while, a sentry came to Zhao Yun and reported: "general, the soldiers at the back of Hanzhong army have all passed the burial place of the southwest ambush, and Hanzhong army has all entered the ambush circle."


    "Good!"


    When Zhao Yun heard the speech, a smile appeared on his face.


    "The three-way drum rings, and the soldiers in the Northeast are ordered to hide and kill."


    Zhao Yun''s eyes were excited and gave the order directly.


    This war is related to the situation in Hanzhong.


    It can be said that the situation on Zhao Yun''s side is closely related to the situation in Hanzhong. Once Zhang Lu is captured and the news is sent back to Hanzhong, it will be of great help to wenpin''s attack on Hanzhong.


    Therefore, in this war, Zhao Yun is only allowed to win but not lose.


    "Dong! Dong! Dong


    The drums of war rang out in the mountains and forests of the Tian River Valley.


    The sound is like thunder in the sky, which is more unexpected.


    "Kill


    "Capture Zhang Lu alive and kill him!"


    "Catch Zhang Lu alive and kill him!"


    Countless soldiers of the Third Army rushed out with weapons in their hands and attacked Hanzhong army in the front.


    The oppressed Third Army soldiers cut off the road in a fierce manner.


    The gesture was unstoppable.


    The soldiers in Hanzhong were in rout, and Liu Xiu was always chasing them in the rear. In the case of Zhang Luli''s lure, they were still frightened, although they were united. Many Hanzhong soldiers turned pale with fright at the moment when the drums were beating and the ambush came out.


    Yang ang looked in his eyes and ordered, "kill me!"


    Yang ang personally ordered that some soldiers pull out their weapons and greet the soldiers of the third army.


    During the fighting between the two armies, the Hanzhong army didn''t eat well. It just ensured that they were not hungry and had no physical strength at all. As soon as they met with the soldiers of the third army, they collapsed in an instant and couldn''t stop them at all.


    The situation collapsed in an instant, unable to withstand the ambush.


    In particular, Zhao Yun''s soldiers suddenly killed out, which caught Hanzhong army unprepared.


    The army broke up in disorder.


    When Zhang Lu was in the middle army, he was anxious to see his soldiers in chaos. Zhang Lunen told the soldiers to rush out of the Tian River Valley, but the soldiers under his command were powerless and could not break through the encirclement.


    Yang ang had already retreated. He was bleeding all over, and even more tired. He said, "Lord, we can''t stop it. Our soldiers began to rout as soon as they met Liu Xiu''s army."


    Zhang Lu was also eager. He looked at Yan Pu and said, "Yan Pu, what do you say to do?"


    Yan Pu observed from left to right and said, "there is a road to the southeast. We retreat to the southeast. As long as we can avoid this army, we''ll make a detour north. Although Liu Xiu captured Bajun, his army was all in Chengdu, so Bajun would be empty. There is still a great chance for us to go southeast and enter Bajun. "


    Zhang Lu nodded busily and said, "OK, we''ll retreat southeast."


    Zhang Lu gave Yang ang an order, and the army began to take action.


    The army turned and retreated to the southeast. After walking for about two quarters of an hour, when Zhang Lu thought it was safe, all of a sudden, there was a drum fight in the southeast.


    "Dong! DongWith the sound of war drums, a large army came out of the forest.


    "Kill, capture Zhang Lu alive."


    "You have been surrounded. Those who come down will not be killed."


    "Kill, it''s today to make contributions!"


    Endless cries, one after another, one wave higher than the other, the momentum is appalling.


    At the moment when this army came out, it had not yet met with Zhang Lu''s soldiers, but the soldiers in the front ran to both sides and no longer resisted.


    Before we fight, we are defeated.


    Zhang Lu also saw this scene, his mouth twitch, nervous.


    There are pursuers in the rear. Zhang Lu can''t retreat.


    The only road is the one in the northwest.


    This time, Zhang Lu didn''t ask at all. He directly ordered: "Yang ang, order to retreat. Let''s break through in the northwest direction. Come on, pass the word on. "


    After saying that, Zhang Lu has taken the pro guard around him to change direction.


    The Third Army in the rear came to kill and quickly covered up.


    With this cover up, Hanzhong army was defeated like a mountain, and constantly fled.


    On the battlefield at this moment, Zhao Yun''s soldiers of the Third Army are like cats, while Zhang Lu''s soldiers are like mice, constantly fleeing.


    Cat and mouse!


    Cat and mouse!


    This is the current situation.


    Zhang Lu took Yan Pu, Yang ang and others to withdraw. This time, he met Zhao Yun''s soldiers and quickly broke out. Then he went to the northwest.


    At this time, the two armies in the northeast and Southeast converged and began to pursue Zhang Lu.


    This army is closely following.


    Zhang Lu and his soldiers fled in front of him. He saw the soldiers coming from the rear and constantly ordered them to speed up.


    All the way to escape, Zhang Lu was very nervous.


    But this time there was no ambush, Zhang Lu''s heart is also relaxed a lot. He looked at Yan Pu and said, "Yan Pu, it was so dangerous just now. Almost, we couldn''t escape. Now, at last, we''re out. "


    Yan Pu smell speech, but did not answer.


    There was doubt in Yan Pu''s mind that there must be no peace ahead.


    Since Liu Xiu''s army had set up ambushes in the northeast and Southeast, how could it leave a vacancy in the northwest to prevent Hanzhong army from escaping?


    There must be something strange about it!


    Yan Pu''s heart, thinking carefully, but thinking about it, he did not understand why there was no ambush.


    Even Yan Pu felt that it was the other party who had missed out.


    But when he thought of the ambush in the southeast, Yan Pu thought it was impossible.


    Yan Pu followed Zhang Lu and fled all the way, but the pursuers in the rear were still chasing him. No matter how fast Zhang Lu fled, he could not get rid of his pursuers.


    By noon, the sun had begun to slant to the West.


    The soldiers under Zhang Lu''s command are very tired and hard.


    However, the pursuit is still behind.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier ran back from the front.


    With a look of panic on his face, the soldier came to Yang ang and said in a loud voice, "general, it''s not good. In front is the cliff, is a steep hillside. The road ahead is broken and we have no way to go. "


    Yang Ang''s body suddenly froze.


    Zhang Lu''s mouth twitched and his face looked incredible. He murmured, "how can it be, how can it be..."


    Yan Pu smell speech, but is a pair of as expected facial expression.


    Since the other side has set up an ambush, it is impossible to leave any more flaws.


    At this moment, Yan Pu finally understood why the other side did not ambush. It turns out that this is a way of thinking, and even the other party''s goal is to drive the Hanzhong army here.


    Everything is in each other''s calculation!

 Chapter 582

    After the soldiers reported the news, the soldiers who had no way to go in front of them began to flee.


    Many people, unexpectedly, have returned directly.


    The morale of the Hanzhong army had not existed in the past, but now there is no way ahead, and the morale of the army is collapsing.


    Yan Lu asked for help


    Now Zhang Lu has no idea.


    Yan Pu said: "Shijun, now we have to break through. Gather up the troops that can resist now to meet the Jingzhou army. If we rush out, there is still a chance. If we can''t, we will die here. "


    Zhang Lu nodded slightly and said, "no matter what, you have to fight."


    Zhang Lu looked at Yang ang and said, "Herald, retreat and break through."


    "No!"


    Yang ang ordered his soldiers to break through again.


    Zhang Lu''s bodyguards, also surrounded by Zhang Lu and Yan Pu, began to break through.


    The soldiers who were hiding and killing soon met the army breaking through the encirclement.


    As soon as the two sides fought, Zhang Lu''s soldiers were defeated and could not make a breakthrough. On the contrary, the Jingzhou army, which was buried and killed, tore the formation and kept retreating.


    Zhao Yun has already joined the battlefield in person. He carries a dragon gall silver gun and fights quickly.


    "We have been surrounded. Those who surrender will not be killed!"


    All the places where Zhao Yun''s spear point passed fell to the ground.


    "Those who fall will not be killed!"


    "Those who fall will not be killed!"


    "Those who fall will not be killed!"


    Countless soldiers of Jingzhou army yelled, while fighting and shouting.


    The cover up made Hanzhong army retreat step by step.


    Shouts, causes the Hanzhong sergeant to have no spirit.


    On the battlefield, surrounded by soldiers, Zhang Lu could not break through at all. Instead, he kept retreating.


    "I surrender, I will surrender!"


    Suddenly, among the soldiers of Hanzhong army, the first one knelt down. After the soldier knelt down and surrendered, the surrounding Hanzhong soldiers immediately knelt down and surrendered.


    The surrender of the Hanzhong Army soldiers, as if a plague in general, continued to spread.


    Countless people knelt down to surrender, but they couldn''t stop them.


    This kneeling, on the contrary, let Zhang Lu''s position exposed. Around Zhang Lu, the soldiers of Hanzhong army knelt down. Only Zhang Lu''s soldiers were still resisting.


    Zhao Yun rode his horse with a gun and roared, "Zhang Lu, take your life!"


    "Da! Dada


    Zhao Yun drove his horse to Zhang Lu''s direction.


    By Zhao Yun''s side, there are countless third armies to cover up and kill together.


    When Zhang Lu saw Zhao yunsha coming, he roared, "come on, block him, block him for me!"


    One by one, the orders of Pro guards rushed up directly.


    However, in front of Zhao Yun''s long Dan Liang silver gun, he didn''t see enough and was killed directly. Yang ang, as the general, scanned his eyes. He didn''t find Huang Hu, Sha Moke or Liu Xiu. He only saw a man with a big gun killing him.


    Yang ang looked in his eyes and thought that if he killed him, he might have a chance.


    In fact, Yang ang didn''t know Zhao Yun.


    If you know Zhao Yun, Yang ang will never rush up in person.


    Yang Ang''s hand is also a big gun, he rode out, roared: "Yang ang here, will be killed."


    In a twinkling of an eye, Yang ang had already arrived in front of Zhao Yun. The big gun in his hand shakes in the air and stabs at Zhao Yun''s heart.


    "Kill


    In Yang Ang''s eyes, there is a touch of expectation.


    Kill this man and lead the army to break through.


    The point of the gun was urgent and fast, and it was in front of Zhao Yun. However, Zhao Yun''s expression was calm. At the moment when the tip of the gun was only one foot away from him, Zhao Yun turned aside and avoided Yang Ang''s gun.


    The long Dan bright silver gun turns in the air, then the gun changes from left hand to right hand behind. Zhao Yun seized the barrel of the gun and stabbed it out with one shot.


    A touch of cool light suddenly flashed in the air.


    In an instant, the point of the gun reached Yang ang.


    "Puchi!"


    The sharp point of the gun pierced Yang Ang''s heart with an unavoidable speed. The tip of the gun broke into the heart and instantly penetrated Yang Ang''s body.


    The blood spattered and the gentian silver gun was drawn out instantly.


    "Poof!"


    Yang ang spouted blood from his mouth and fell to the ground with his head up.


    Zhao Yun pointed his gun to the front and roared: "Yang ang is dead, kill him!"


    With the killing of Yang ang, Zhang Lu''s bodyguards could not resist it any more. They were defeated and defeated. And Zhao Yun led the soldiers, constantly close, catching up with Zhang Lu.


    Twenty feet!


    Fifteen feet!


    Ten feet!


    Time is not long, the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.Looking at the Jingzhou army, Zhang Lu saw that his soldiers were kneeling down and pleading for mercy. His heart was even more sad.


    Lost!


    A complete failure!


    Zhang Lu took a deep breath and thought of surrender.


    Zhang Lu said: "Yanpu, what should we do now?"


    Yan Pu''s expression was also nervous. He had a helpless expression on his face and said, "Shijun, there''s no way now. In this war, we were defeated. If Shijun wants to fight to death, he is willing to follow him. "


    Zhang Lu was very kind to Yan Pu.


    Zhang Lu and Yan Pu decided to fight to the death.


    Although Yan Pu was nervous, his eyes were firm without a trace of wavering.


    Looking at Yan Pu''s firm expression, Zhang Lu suddenly laughed and said, "Yan Pu, it''s enough for me to have such an important official as you! If this battle is defeated, there will be no more resistance. "


    Zhang Lu looked up at the front, Zhao Yun was less than five Zhang away from him.


    Turning over and dismounting, Zhang Lu fell down on his knees and said, "Zhang Lu is willing to surrender!"


    Yan Pu got off his horse and knelt down.


    The rest of the guards gave up their resistance and knelt down.


    As Zhang Lu knelt down, no more soldiers resisted. Zhao Yun saw in the eyes, he rode to Zhang Lu''s body, looked at Zhang Lu kneeling on the ground, said: "Zhang Taishou, after all, you are Hanzhong Taishou, get up!"


    When Zhang Lu heard the speech, he stood up.


    As soon as Zhao Yun waved, some soldiers rushed up and took Zhang Lu away. Then the soldiers began to collect their weapons and detain all the surrendered Hanzhong soldiers.


    Two hours later, the war was over.


    The army camped in Tianhe Valley, waiting for Liu Xiu''s arrival.


    Chinese army big account!


    Zhao Yun invited Zhang Lu to the camp.


    Zhang Lu looked at Zhao Yun. He still didn''t know Zhao Yun''s name, so he asked, "you set an ambush to defeat me. I don''t know which general you are under Liu Xiu?"


    Zhao Yun said, "General Zhao Yun is the general of the third army under the Lord."


    "Zhao Yun?"


    Zhang Lu felt surprised when he heard the speech.


    Zhao Yun is the one who easily captured Fuling county and then defeated Yan Yan.


    Zhang Lu said, "if you lose to General Zhao, you won''t be wronged."


    Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "Ben Jiang is only responsible for setting an ambush in Tiangu valley. You are defeated in this battle, but you are defeated in the Lord after all. At the beginning, the LORD had just captured Chengdu, and he had already decided to fight. So at that time, the LORD sent Ben Jiang to Zitong county to wait for you to retreat. "


    "After your defeat, the morale of the army broke up. It was the Lord''s first attack."


    "The second attack was a prisoner released by the Lord."


    "After two things, your soldiers have already lost their morale. Under such circumstances, if Ben can''t win, it''s a shame to trust the Lord. "


    Zhao Yun smile, said: "this will be chosen in the sky Valley, is to capture you alive."


    Zhang Lu sighed after listening.


    Liu Xiu was so cunning that he began to lay out the layout early.


    Zhang Lu asked: "I once heard soldiers say that Liu Xiu sent soldiers to attack Hanzhong county. Is this true or false?"


    Zhao Yun said: "of course it''s true. When my Lord sent me to Zitong County, he had already sent the first army of wenpin to leave Chengdu quietly, then went to Yufu County, and then attacked Hanzhong county. With wenpin''s troops and Hanzhong''s weakness. There is still no suspense about this war. "


    Zhang Lu nodded and said, "if you lose to Liu Xiu, I have nothing to say. Hate only hate, had credulous Liu Xiu. If we do not form an alliance with Liu Xiu, all this will not happen. "


    Zhao Yun gave a cold smile and said, "can you hold back the great benefit your Lord has given you?"


    Zhang Lu smiles. As Zhao Yun said, Liu Xiu gives him places like Bajun and Guanghan, but he can''t resist his greed. Therefore, from the time of alliance, this war is doomed to the present result.

 Chapter 583

    In two and a half days, the army led by Liu Xiu arrived at Tianhe valley.


    The two armies have converged, with nearly 90000 troops.


    Among them, Zhao Yun has 30000 troops and Liu Xiu has more than 30000 troops. In addition, he has captured nearly 30000 Hanzhong soldiers, so Liu Xiu''s troops are already an extremely powerful force.


    Thanks to the capture of Liu Zhang and the capture of Chengdu, Yizhou''s granary can be replenished to ensure the adequacy of grain and grass.


    In fact, compared with Jingzhou, Yizhou is the real granary.


    Since the rise of Huang Jin, Dong Zhuo took charge of Luoyang, Yuan Cao in the North fought, Cao Cao calmed the north, and then Cao Cao went south to attack Jiaozhou. All over the Central Plains, regardless of the north and the south, there have been big and small wars.


    Even Jingzhou, a strategic place, has gone through war.


    During this period, Yizhou did not experience major wars.


    Even if Zhang Lu split Yizhou, it did not cause much impact.


    In addition, after Liu Yan took charge of Yizhou, he developed production and attached great importance to agriculture, which also gave Yizhou a relatively stable environment and made the people live and work in peace and contentment. Liu Zhang''s son inherited his father''s career. Although Liu Zhang was not talented and timid, he was not strict with the people. Therefore, Yizhou has accumulated enough food in recent years. This is also one of the reasons why Liu Bei was able to divide the whole world after he won Yizhou.


    Chinese army big account!


    Liu Xiu, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, Lu Su, Huo Jun, Pang Tong, Jia Xu and others were all present.


    Zhao Yun said: "Lord, Zhang Lu has been captured alive. Do you want to bring him up?"


    Liu Xiu said, "bring it up!"


    "No!"


    Zhao Yun replied and immediately ordered him to go down.


    Soon, Zhang Lu was brought up.


    "Kneel down!"


    The soldier yelled with a cold face and gave the order directly.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "you don''t have to kneel down, just stand."


    When Zhang Lu heard the speech, his eyes showed a touch of gratitude. Anyway, he is also the leader of one side. Even if he is defeated in this war, he has the dignity of the leader of one side.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Zhang Lu and said, "is Shijun willing to submit to his official position?"


    Zhang Lu said, "I''m willing to surrender!"


    At this point, what else can Zhang Lu say? Naturally, it is to submit to Liu Xiu.


    Especially through this war, Zhang Lu saw Liu Xiu''s sophistication and ruthlessness. First, they formed an alliance, then framed Yang Song, and finally calculated him. Step by step plan, every step count him dead.


    Under such circumstances, how can he be Liu Xiu''s opponent?


    Liu Xiu had a smile on his face and said, "good!"


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "don''t worry, Shijun. After our official calms Hanzhong, we will let Shijun and his family join. Then, Shijun and his family will be officials in Xiangyang. "


    Zhang Lu said: "I will follow Liu Jingzhou''s arrangement."


    After losing to Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu couldn''t let him stay in Hanzhong. He would definitely take him to Xiangyang.


    Such results are expected.


    Zhang Lu said: "Liu Jingzhou, I still have one more thing to ask for Liu Jingzhou''s permission."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "you say it!"


    Zhang Lu said: "Yan Pu, a counselor under his command, is outstanding in learning. He is not only good at internal affairs, but also good at leading soldiers in war. He followed me before, so we can''t give full play to it. Now I''m going back to Liu Jingzhou, and I''m going back to the fields. Therefore, I hope Liu Jingzhou can give him an opportunity, not just because he has followed me


    When Zhang Lu thought of the desperate situation, Yan Pu said he was willing to die with him, so he felt that he could not fail Yan Pu.


    Therefore, Zhang Lu put forward suggestions.


    Liu Xiu said: "master, don''t worry. I will arrange Yanpu properly."


    Liu Xiu also knows something about Yan Pu. In history, Yan Pu followed Zhang Lu to surrender to Cao Cao and became a marquis. Later, Cao Pi succeeded to the throne and attached great importance to Yan Pu.


    Liu Xiu will not miss such talents.


    In fact, there are many talents under Liu Xiu''s command.


    Up to now, Liu Xiu''s talent counselors include Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Lu Su, Ma Su, Ma Liang, FA Zheng, Zhang song, Huo Jun, and his military generals include Huang Zhong, Huang Hu, Sha Moke, Zhao Yun, Wen pin, Wei Yan, Zhang Ren, Chen Zhi, Tai Shici, etc.


    In addition, it does not include Pang Degong, Zhang Zhongjing and others.


    Relatively speaking, there are a lot of talents.


    However, Liu Xiu knew that compared with Cao Cao, his talents were far from enough. These talents are not enough to compete with and govern the world.


    Liu Xiu dealt with Zhang Lu''s affairs and asked people to take him down.


    Zhao Yun took the initiative to say: "Lord, the battle of Yizhou is over. With Zhang Lu in hand, Hanzhong is certainly not a problem. Will the third army under the general continue to participate in this war? "


    In Zhao Yun''s view, it was not appropriate for the eight or nine thousand troops to rush to Hanzhong together.


    This is a waste.Chen Dao also nodded slightly and said, "Lord, the last general agrees with General Zhao. Now that Zhang Lu is captured, there is an army of wenpin general in Hanzhong, and an army of Zhang Ren general in Nanyang County. Will the humble Sixth Army continue to fight? "


    After listening to their suggestions, Liu Xiu also fell into thinking.


    Pang Tong said: "my Lord, I agree with the suggestions of General Zhao and General Chen. At present, it is no longer necessary to lead tens of thousands of troops forward. We just need to dress lightly and go north to join wenpin. Zhang Lu alone is worth tens of thousands of troops. "


    Jia Xu also said: "I also agree with you!"


    They all nodded their heads.


    Liu Xiu considered the opinions of the people and the current situation of the war. He really didn''t need so many troops, so he nodded and said, "yes, Zhao Yun and Chen Dao will lead their troops back to the camp."


    Lu Su said, "how can the Lord arrange the tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers?"


    Lu Su was worried about tens of thousands of Hanzhong soldiers.


    In case of mutiny, it would be dangerous.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "first, I have Zhang Lu in my hand, and they dare not act rashly; second, Huang Hu and shamoko have their own troops in the town, even if the Hanzhong army has tens of thousands of prisoners, they are not afraid; third, they all know that Hanzhong has been attacked."


    "Three reasons, no one dares to act rashly."


    "So Zijing doesn''t have to worry."


    Liu Xiu had a smile and a confident look on his face.


    Under the trend of the times, he did not believe that the soldiers of Hanzhong army dared to rebel.


    Lu Su nodded: "my Lord is wise!"


    Liu Xiu arranged other things, determined the situation of Zhao Yun and Chen Dao''s respective armies, and finally said: "all the achievements and contributions of this war are recorded in the book. After the end of the war, I will give you a unified reward. At the same time, as the chief general, as the chief of an army, you can also carry out internal rewards. "


    "No!"


    When Zhao Yun and Chen Dao heard the speech, they were both happy.


    For the soldiers in the army, on the one hand, they are willing to fight for training; on the other hand, only fighting can make contributions and gain benefits.


    Half a day later, Liu Xiu sent Zhao Yun and Chen Dao away one after another.


    The two men left with their respective armies, and then there were nearly 60000 fewer in the army.


    Only Huang Hu, Sha Moke and Deng Zhan were left in the army. Liu Xiu asked the three men to select soldiers from the captives and add them to their respective troops to make up for their previous losses.


    Then, about the prisoners in the army, Liu Xiu began to release them.


    Among them, the unqualified soldiers were all given some money and food, and all the soldiers were released. After all this, except for Huang Hu, Sha Moke and Deng Zhan, only 3000 elite soldiers were left, and most of the other soldiers were released.


    Liu Xiu led the army to continue to set out, heading for Hanzhong county.


    At the end of June, the army led by Liu Xiu entered Baishui County, passing through baishuiguan, and went to Mianyang County, which is bordered by Hanzhong army and Guanghan county. As long as you arrive in Mianyang County, it''s not far from Nanzheng County, Hanzhong county.


    In early July, Liu Xiu and his party arrived in Mianyang county.


    When the troops arrived, soldiers from the border came to meet them, who were distinguished by wenpin soldiers. When Liu Xiu inquired about the specific situation, he knew that wenpin had captured Nanzheng County, and in a short time, Hanzhong county was in his hands.


    In this way, the whole Yizhou is under the control of Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 584

    Mianyang County borders Xiabian County of Liangzhou.


    Xiabian county is the seat of Wudu County. When Cao Cao attacked Liangzhou, he pushed the battlefield here. He defeated Ma Chao in Xiabian county and completely solved the power of Xiliang.


    Without Ma Teng, Han Sui and Ma Chao, Xiliang was not Cao Cao''s rival at all.


    Therefore, Cao Cao began to sweep Xiliang and stabilize the situation.


    On the other hand, after Ma Chao''s defeat, he led the remaining 1000 soldiers to flee. Ma Chao''s escape direction is Hanzhong county. Liangzhou had no place to stand, so he had to flee to Hanzhong.


    A group of people fled quickly and approached Mianyang county.


    Towards noon, Ma Chao ordered the army to stop and eat some dry food.


    Ma Chao was wearing a lion helmet belt and white robes and silver armour. Even after he was defeated, he was still heroic. He sat down, nibbling at the bread, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.


    Ma Dai came over and said, "brother, what do you think?"


    "Ma Chao said:" how to revenge


    When it comes to revenge, Ma Dai gnashes his teeth and says, "Cao Cao is so cruel that he killed his uncle and several elder brothers. This man is so cruel. It''s just that Cao Cao unified the north. I''m afraid we have some difficulties in revenge."


    Ma Chao said coldly: "there will always be a chance. Cao Cao is stationed in Liangzhou now. We can''t go back. However, Cao Cao can not always be in Liangzhou. When Cao Cao leads the army away, we will have a chance. "


    Ma Dai asked, "what shall we do next?"


    Ma Chao''s eyes showed a pondering look and said: "according to the original plan, he entered Hanzhong and temporarily lived under Zhang Lu. Then, we''ll wait for an opportunity to borrow troops from Zhang Lu, and we''ll go back and take back Liangzhou. "


    Ma Dai nodded, but his face was worried.


    Living under Zhang Lu''s command depends on what Zhang Lu thinks.


    It is not easy to borrow troops from Zhang Lu.


    No matter how hard it is, I don''t know how to give up. Once you give up, there is no revenge for your father and brothers. I will take revenge on the thief. "


    Ma Dai clenched his fist and nodded heavily.


    After a quarter of an hour''s rest, they led the army to Mianyang county.


    After a day''s walk, the army has arrived at the border of Mianyang county.


    At the border, there is an army.


    This group of soldiers is the soldiers arranged by wenpin. The leader is Tang Sheng, who is from Xiangyang, Nanjun. He served as a captain in the army and had 1000 soldiers under his command.


    Tang Sheng was also quite relaxed during the army''s stay.


    Because no one came to Liangzhou.


    On this day, Tang Sheng got up from the camp and went to inspect the camp.


    After a tour, Tang Sheng went to the kitchen and watched the cook prepare lunch.


    Garrison here, Tang Sheng is most concerned about two things, the first thing is the training of soldiers, to ensure the combat effectiveness of soldiers. The second thing is the food to make sure you don''t go hungry.


    "Da! Dada


    Suddenly, the sound of a horse''s hoof came from far and near.


    Tang Sheng''s ears moved and he noticed the sound.


    "Assemble, assemble the army!"


    Tang Sheng ran to the camp in front of him.


    He came to the front of the barracks and quickly assembled a thousand soldiers under his command. As soon as the army formed an array, a group of cavalry appeared on the official road in Xiabian county.


    The cavalry went on their way quickly, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.


    The leader, wearing a white robe and silver armour, has a golden spear with a tiger head in his hand, breaking his prestige.


    After seeing the man, Tang Sheng ordered: "crossbow player, prepare!"


    At the command, the soldiers in the army acted immediately.


    The bows and crossbows in the army are all transformed by Huang Yueying in the past. They are all large-scale lethal weapons. Even one soldier can''t use them. They need more than two soldiers to work together.


    Such weapons have great lethality for war horses.


    Once the crossbow hits the horse, it''s either death or injury.


    "Don''t go to war, we have no malice, no malice."


    Just as Tang Sheng was preparing for the war, the horse running in front of him suddenly stopped. Then, the first white robed general rode his horse. He came to Tang Sheng and said, "I''m Ma Chao in xiaxiliang. I''m defeated by Cao Cao. I have no way to go. I''m here to see Zhang Taishou. Please put it down. Ma Chao has something to see. "


    Hearing the speech, Tang Sheng said with a straight face: "Zhang Lu has been subordinated to Jingzhou herdsmen. Now, Hanzhong is under the rule of Liu Jingzhou."


    "Ah


    Ma Chao was surprised when he heard the speech.


    When did this happen?


    When Cao Cao attacked Xiliang, Zhang Lu ruled Hanzhong.


    Now, how did he become Liu Xiu, a herdsman in Jingzhou.Ma Chao asked: "dare to ask the general, when did this happen?"


    Tang Sheng replied, "it''s just recently."


    Ma Chao was surprised, but he turned his eyes and thought, Liu Xiu can defeat Cao Cao, and his strength is far stronger than Zhang Lu. If there is Liu Xiu''s support, he will have more opportunities to counter attack.


    Here''s the chance!


    Ma Chao''s heart, incomparable joy.


    Ma Chao doesn''t care about Zhang Lu''s life and death. He just hopes that he can have a chance to counterattack.


    Ma Chao''s expression was solemn, and he said: "in that case, please report to Liu Jingzhou, saying that Ma Chao in Xiliang asked to see Liu Jingzhou for something important."


    Looking at Ma Chao, Tang Sheng said, "yes, but you can only wait at the border for the time being."


    Ma Chao''s mouth twitched slightly when he heard the speech.


    Waiting at the border, isn''t that a waste of time?


    Ma Chao turned his mind and said, "general, I have only one thousand soldiers. With Liu Jingzhou''s brilliant and powerful, I can''t fight against the waves. Why should I stay at the border? Look, can we go to Nanzheng County together? "


    "No way!"


    Tang Sheng didn''t even think about it and refused.


    A thousand cavalry come and go without trace. He can''t let Ma Chao in.


    Otherwise, Tang Sheng will not be able to hand over the work if he is tracked down.


    Ma Chao thought about it and said, "general, Cao Cao and I are enemies. Cao Cao defeated me, too. Between Liu Jingzhou and Cao Cao, there is also hatred. Liu Jingzhou and I can be allies. "


    Tang Sheng disdained to say: "you are a defeated general. How can you be Liu Jingzhou''s ally? Let you wait here, you just wait. Otherwise, don''t blame Ben for being rude to you. Even if you have cavalry under your command, it is not that you have no means to deal with cavalry among our generals. "


    Tang Sheng''s strength made Ma Chao very difficult.


    On the one hand, this time he fled with his soldiers, he didn''t have any money on him, so he couldn''t bribe Tang Sheng.


    On the other hand, he had a request from Liu Xiu and could not start fighting.


    Therefore, Ma Chao is very troublesome.


    Ma Chao didn''t want to delay or give up. He thought about it and said, "general, it''s better. I''ll let all my soldiers get off their armour and give you all their weapons. "


    After a pause, Ma Chao said: "even you can help them with the rope, and then you send someone to escort us to Nanzheng County. What do you think? My soldiers are all helped, and without weapons, there can be no threat. In this way, you can rest assured. "


    When Tang Sheng heard the speech, his face was full of emotion.


    That''s a good suggestion.


    Looking at Ma Chao, Tang Sheng finally nodded and said, "yes, you can let all your soldiers dismount now, then take off their armor and wait for my soldiers to collect their weapons."


    "Yes


    Ma Chao smelled the speech and showed a smile on his face.


    Immediately, Ma Chao went back and gave an order.


    All the people got the order, although they were reluctant, they could only agree. After a short time, the soldiers turned over and dismounted, then laid down their weapons.


    Tang Sheng sent his soldiers to collect all the weapons and horses, and took away the armor. Then he ordered people to lead Ma Chao and others into Mianyang county.


    Tang Sheng sent a sentinel to Nanzheng County and reported the news.


    Then, Tang Sheng handed over the defense to the deputy general and took Ma Chao and his soldiers on their way to Nanzheng County. When they arrived in Mianyang County, they supplied food and grass, and then headed for Nanzheng County.


    Chang''an!


    Cao Cao attacked Ma Chao and set his base in Chang''an.


    The first World War calmed Xiliang, and a big stone in Cao Cao''s heart fell to the ground.


    However, Cao Cao was worried about the situation in Yizhou. Liu Xiu and Zhang Lu join hands to attack Yizhou. Such a fool as Liu Zhang can''t stop it. I don''t know how the war will end.


    Study, Cao Cao is reading the latest news.


    Because of the geographical location, the news of this era lags behind.


    At the moment, the latest news in Cao Cao''s hands is that Liu Xiu and Zhao Yun have conquered Quren county and Zhixian county.


    Otherwise, there was no news.


    Cao Cao put down his message and said, "come here, please come to discuss the matter with Xun you and Cheng Yu."


    "No!"


    Outside the study, after the soldiers got the order, they immediately went down to make arrangements.


    Not long, Xun you and Cheng Yu came to the study.


    Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "don''t be so polite. Sit down!"


    When they sat down, Cheng Yu said, "what''s the matter with the prime minister coming to us?"


    Cao Cao zhengse said: "to discuss Liu Xiu''s attack on Yizhou, for Liu Xiu''s attack on Yizhou. The current news is Gongke, Quren county and Zhixian county. But it''s been a long time since the news came back. I''m very worried. "Xun you thought about it and said, "prime minister, Liangzhou has just been settled. In another month, everything will be on track. Therefore, no matter what happens in Yizhou, the prime minister only needs to wait another month. If the situation is completely stable, the army can be sent to Hanzhong. As long as Hanzhong is in hand, no matter what the current situation is, Liu Xiu will be affected. "


    Cao Cao nodded slightly, with a look of agreement on his face.


    Hanzhong, as an important place of Yizhou, as long as it can capture Hanzhong, then Yizhou is in the palm of the hand.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, Yang Xiu''s voice came from outside.


    This time he attacked Liangzhou, Yang Xiu was Cao Cao''s master and took care of Cao Cao''s documents.


    It has to be said that Liu Xiu, who has traveled through the Three Kingdoms, has already caused countless changes. When he was in Xuchang for a while, Yang Xiu was hit hard. On the contrary, he was calm and steady. He was well behaved and respected by Cao Cao.


    Yang Xiu went into his study and gave a salute: "prime minister, something is wrong."


    Cao Cao asked, "what''s the matter?"


    Yang Xiu replied: "just got the news from Yizhou, Liu Xiu defeated Liu Zhang. Now Liu Xiu is close to Chengdu and has completely controlled Liu Zhang. "


    With these words, Yang Xiu took out a letter and handed it to Cao Cao''s desk.


    Cao Cao took out the letter and examined it carefully.


    After watching, the expression on Cao Cao''s face was already black and blue.


    "Good Liu Xiu, good Liu Xiu. Unexpectedly, Fazheng and Zhang Song are both Liu Xiu''s people."


    "Liu Xiu has been planning this war for a long time."


    Cao Cao''s eyes narrowed, and there was a cold look in his eyes. Cao Cao had been worried about the situation in Yizhou, worried that Liu Zhang could not resist it, but unexpectedly Liu Xiu won Yizhou in such a short time.


    Cao Cao handed the letter to Xun you for him to read.


    After Xun you finished reading it, he gave it to Cheng Yu.


    After two people saw, the facial expression on the face is quite serious, did not expect Liu Xiu unexpectedly is so quick.


    Cao Cao, with a solemn expression, said: "whether it''s the battle in Yufu County, Fuling county or Chengdu, Liu Xiu shows the level of planning before moving. What''s more, it''s the realization of laying the inside line. Because of the cooperation from the inside, everything goes smoothly for Liu Xiu. From this point of view, Liu Xiu is quite difficult to deal with. "


    Cao Cao''s eyes, showing a dignified look, said: "Liu Xiu has captured Chengdu, occupied Yizhou. With Liu Xiu''s cunning, it is impossible for Zhang Lu to become a state of the state. Once Liu Xiu has a firm foothold, he will definitely do it. Therefore, this war can not be delayed any longer. Further delay will only benefit Liu Xiu. "


    Xunyou said: "prime minister, now we are going south to attack Hanzhong, and the weak have won with a great victory. So, everything is OK. But if we fail, I''m afraid that Liangzhou, which we just got, will immediately become popular. "


    Xun you''s eyes showed a trace of anxiety.


    Liangzhou is related to the stability of Sili area, so we must ensure the stability.


    Cheng Yu also advised: "prime minister, I don''t agree to send troops immediately. One month is very important for us. Only in this month can the situation in Liangzhou be stabilized. In fact, for Liu Xiu, it is impossible for him to stabilize all the places in Yizhou for one month. So I think it''s OK to postpone the attack on Hanzhong. "


    Yang Xiu suggested: "prime minister, I agree to send troops. Now Zhang Lu is going to attack Liu Zhang. Even though Hanzhong has left troops to defend, it is impossible to have too many. Now is the best time to attack Hanzhong. Once we delay for another time, it will be difficult to attack after Zhang Lu returns to Hanzhong. "


    Cheng Yu glared and said, "Yang Xiu, you are encouraging the prime minister to make mistakes."


    Cao Cao brushed his sleeve and said, "all right, be quiet!"


    When they heard the words, they stopped speaking.


    Cao Cao rubbed his temples, and his face was full of meditation.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from outside.


    A tiger general came in. It was Xu Chu, the leader of Cao Cao''s guard. He came to the study, arched his hand and said, "prime minister, another sentinel has come back from ziyizhou to report the news."


    "Bring it in!"


    Cao Cao''s big sleeve flicks.


    Soon after Xu Chu went down, the sentry came to the study.


    After a salute, the sentry took out a letter from his clothes, handed it to the servant, and then handed it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao opened the letter and looked at it. When he saw the contents of the letter, his face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes were shining with cold light, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat.


    "Pa!"


    Cao Cao slapped on the desk with a cold face.


    With a wave of his hand, the sentry stepped down.


    Cheng Yu asked, "prime minister, what happened?"


    Cao Cao said with a cold face and gnashing his teeth: "Liu Xiu has captured Hanzhong, and now the whole land of Hanzhong is under Liu Xiu''s control."


    "What, how is that possible?"Cheng Yu''s old face is also full of incredible expression.


    Xun you is also silly, Liu Xiu this is still in Chengdu, how suddenly seized Hanzhong.


    Yang Xiu frowned. He didn''t agree with Liu Xiu, but when he heard the news, he was shocked by the news as if he had been struck by lightning. Yang Xiu swallowed his saliva and said, "prime minister, is the news true?"


    Cao Cao said: "it can''t be false. The news says that after Liu Xiu captured Chengdu, he quietly sent wenpin back to Hanzhong and captured Hanzhong at one stroke. And Liu Xiu turned over and attacked Zhang Lu. He also captured Zhang Lu alive. "


    "Hiss!"


    Cheng Yu''s face was cold when he heard the speech.


    Xun you said: "Liu Xiu''s means are really incalculable. This move is too cruel. First of all, he made an alliance with Zhang Lu and made great profits. Then he turned his face to attack Zhang Lu. He really turned his hand to cloud and his hand to rain. "


    Cao Cao thought in his eyes and said, "since Liu Xiu has captured Hanzhong, it is no longer necessary to attack Hanzhong now. Wait another month. After Liangzhou is stable, attack Hanzhong immediately. "


    Cheng Yu said, "the prime minister is wise!"


    Cao Cao can calm down at the critical moment and have a month to adjust. That''s the best.


    Yang Xiu said: "prime minister, although we have to send troops in a month, we can send the early spies and so on. If you send them out as soon as possible, you can also prepare for the attack on Hanzhong in a month. "


    Cao Cao nodded his head and said, "master Yang is right. We can arrange the affairs of the spies first, so as to prepare for us to enter Hanzhong. Hanzhong is no better than Zhongyuan. The Central Plains is flat, while Hanzhong is mountainous and complex, so we must make a clear investigation. "


    Cheng Yu said: "since we are going to attack Hanzhong in a month, can we attack Nanyang County at the same time? As long as Nanyang County attacks Liu Xiu at the same time, Liu Xiu''s forces will be contained. "


    Cao Cao nodded and said, "master Yang, make an order immediately and tell Cao Ren to attack Nanyang County. This attack was not a feint, but a real attack. If Liu Xiu goes back to Nanyang County first and Hanzhong doesn''t have Liu Xiu, it will be easier for us to capture Hanzhong. "


    "No!"


    Yang Xiu nodded and immediately went down to prepare.


    Cao Cao and his subordinates discussed other matters before they let them go down to carry out the order.


    Nanzheng County!


    Inside the city, the prefect''s residence.


    Today''s Taishou mansion is already under the control of wenpin soldiers.


    After Liu Xiu arrived, Zhang Lu and his family met, but there was no official position left, so they had to listen to Liu Xiu''s arrangement.


    Hall!


    Liu xiuduan sat at the top, and below were Wen pin, Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Xu Shu, FA Zheng, Zhang song, Huang Hu and others.


    Everyone is seated.


    Liu Xiu glanced at the crowd and said, "Hanzhong is established, which naturally involves the appointment of Hanzhong officials. If you have any suggestions, you can talk about them. "


    Liu Xiu had several people in his mind about the selection of officials for Hanzhong Prefecture, but he had not decided for a while.


    So gather the people together and discuss the matter.


    Wenpin''s eyes look at his nose and nose at his heart, but he doesn''t open his mouth. As the commander-in-chief of the first army, he also served as the prefect of a county. The things in Hanzhong must have nothing to do with him. Under such circumstances, there is no need to get involved.


    Fazheng said: "Lord, Hanzhong is connected with Cao Cao in the north, and its geographical location is very important. I''m afraid it takes a certain amount of ability to be the prefect of this county, otherwise problems will easily arise. "


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "it''s reasonable to be filial."


    Pang Tong said: "Lord, I have a candidate."


    "Who?"


    Liu Xiu asked.


    Pang Tong replied, "Liao Hua!"


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu''s eyes showed deep meditation and asked, "why?"


    Pang Tong said: "Liao Hua used to be a assistant official of Bo Cao, and has been assisting Kuai Liang and Yi Ji in handling government affairs. He has been in office for several years, and after years of training, he has been able to take charge of his own affairs. "


    Liu Xiu nodded, Liao Hua''s ability is true.


    Even Liao Hua was not only good at internal affairs, but also made achievements in military and political affairs.


    It was once said that Liao was a pioneer in the history of Shu. This seems to be a derogatory sentence, but in fact it is a compliment to Liao Hua. It proved that Liao Hua had unique ability in marching and fighting.


    Jia Xu said: "my Lord, I also agree to use Liao Hua. This person can not lose to Huo Jun, which is unique."


    Liu Xiu looked at Wen pin and Xu Shu, and both of them nodded.


    As for FA Zheng and Zhang song, they did not understand Liao Hua, so they did not express their opinions.


    Liu Xiu said, "since you all agree, I''ll transfer Liao Hua to Hanzhong to be the prefect of Hanzhong." Immediately, Liu Xiu wrote the document, and then called Deng Zhan to send the news back to Xiangyang for Yi Ji to deal with as soon as possible.


    Next, we discussed other government affairs, determined the defense of each county, and then the people stepped down.Liu Xiu sent someone to call Yan Pu.


    When he was in Tianhe Valley, Liu Xiu did not see Yan Pu immediately, but chose to air him.


    Today, it''s not too late to see Yanpu again.


    Yan Pu came to the study, with a solemn expression, bowed his hand and said, "Yan Pu has seen Liu Jingzhou!"


    "Sit down!"


    Liu Xiu waved his hand.


    Yan Pu sat down, but he was wondering what it was that Liu Xiu invited him here? The biggest possibility is to solicit him, but Yan Pu is not sure whether it is.


    Liu Xiuse said: "Hanzhong was taken by our official, and Zhang Lu was also obedient. After his surrender, Zhang Lu once proposed to me that you are talented and I hope I can reuse you. Would you like to work for me? "


    Yan Pu didn''t expect Zhang Lu to speak for him. For a moment, a trace of warmth rose in Yan Pu''s heart.


    Zhang Lu was kind to Yan Pu.


    Now, Zhang Lu helps him with all his heart, but his kindness is heavy. Just thinking that Zhang Lu is now Liu Xiu''s prisoner and has no freedom, Yan Pu has a knot in his heart and can''t be loyal to Liu Xiu wholeheartedly.


    Even Yan Pu had the idea of rescuing Zhang Lu.


    Let Zhang Lu escape from Liu Xiu and regain his freedom without being watched everywhere.


    Looking at Liu Xiu, Yan Pu shook his head and said, "I don''t want to be an official for the time being. I want to live an ordinary life."


    Liu Xiu said solemnly, "it seems that I can''t invite you out of the mountain."


    Words, a little more cold.


    Liu Xiu did not expect that Yan Pu refused his kindness.


    Yan Pu said: "Shijun has been defeated. I am disheartened, so I don''t plan to become an official for the time being."


    Liu Xiu raised his lips and said, "since that''s the case, you''ll stay with Zhang Lu for the time being." Liu Xiu doesn''t plan to release Yan Pu for the time being. Once Yan Pu is released, he goes to Cao Cao''s command, and Cao Cao knows all the news.


    Yan Pu didn''t expect Liu Xiu to detain him, so he was angry immediately.


    Yan Pu was angry and said in a loud voice: "Liu Xiu, first you made an alliance with Shijun, then you designed Yang Song to force Shijun to kill Yang Song, and then you went to war directly. You''ve made Hanzhong by extortion. You''re such a mean person. If I don''t surrender, you''ll detain me. It''s a villain''s behavior. "


    Liu Xiu sneered and said: "the soldiers are crafty. Why not attack Hanzhong? As for you saying that Zhang Lu didn''t obey Liu Zhang''s orders when he attacked Hanzhong, which led to Liu Zhang''s killing Zhang Lu''s family, and finally Zhang Lu stood on his own bravely, what''s the matter? "


    After hearing this, Yan Pu hummed twice. He knew that in terms of morality and justice, in terms of coming and going, there could not be a result, so he simply stopped talking about it.


    Liu Xiu said, "I''ll ask you one more question. Are you willing to surrender?"


    Yan Pu said, "I''d rather die than surrender!"


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "you have backbone!"


    Yan Pu said, "Liu Xiu, you have defeated Shijun by means of seizing. One day, someone will beat you. Prime Minister Cao has occupied the north. He will certainly go south and defeat you. "


    Liu Xiu suddenly laughed and said: "it seems that you Yanpu have a good feeling for Cao Cao. If I didn''t defeat Zhang Lu, but Cao Cao went south and defeated Zhang Lu, I''m afraid you will submit to Cao Cao."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "it seems that people''s backbone also varies from person to person."


    Yan Pu said angrily, "Liu Xiu, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated."


    Liu xiudao said: "you boast that you are loyal to Zhang Lu, but you have a hidden heart of obedience to Cao Cao. Hum, don''t speak highly of yourself. As Zhang Lu''s chief counselor, don''t you know the importance of Hanzhong''s position. Neither Zhang Lu nor Liu Zhang can keep their respective positions. It''s a matter of time before Zhang Lu''s defeat, but your favorite Cao Cao didn''t come. Instead, I came first. "


    Yan Pu''s expression was solemn, and he said: "I have a heart to admire Prime Minister Cao. What''s the difference? Prime Minister Cao unified the north by his real strength. Unlike you, Liu Xiu, who unified Jingzhou and Yizhou, it all depended on intrigue. "


    After a pause, Yan Pu said, "you want to defeat Prime Minister Cao. That''s a dream. You can''t be Prime Minister Cao''s opponent all your life. "


    Liu Xiu said, "Yan Pu, you are forcing me to kill you."


    Yan Pu held his head high and said in a loud voice, "it''s just death. It''s nothing to worry about."


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu clapped his hand and smile, with an angry look on his face, but his killing intention slowly converged.


    Liu Xiu said: "you want to stimulate me to kill you, but I won''t kill you. You can rest assured that I will not only not kill you, but also let you watch me defeat Cao Cao and rule the world. "


    "The fool dreams!"


    Yan Pu didn''t even think about it, so he replied directly.


    Liu xiudao: "you wait and see."


    "Somebody


    Liu Xiu flicked his sleeves and gave an order. A valet came in and saluted respectfully. Then he listened to Liu Xiu''s command and said, "take Yanpu down and imprison him.""No!"


    The servant was ordered to escort Yan Pu down.


    Liu Xiu was angry. He didn''t expect Yan Pu to be so ignorant of current affairs.


    "Step on it! Step on


    A rapid sound of footsteps came from outside the room.


    A moment later, Deng Zhan came in. Deng Zhan looked happy and said, "good news, Lord. Just now, the troops stationed on the border between Hanzhong and Liangzhou came back to deliver a message that Ma Chao in Xiliang wanted to see him. The sentinel came back first to convey the news, and the general of the garrison was coming to Nanzheng County with Ma Chao and his 1000 soldiers. The general of the garrison also specifically said that it was to remove the weapons, armor and horses of all the soldiers under Ma Chao''s command. There would be no danger. "


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "Ma Chao is here. This is good news. However, this means that Cao Cao has captured Liangzhou and Ma Chao has no way to go. "


    Deng Zhan nodded and said, "my Lord is wise!"


    Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "please pay attention to the whereabouts of Ma Chao and his party. When they are about to arrive in Nanzheng County, I will meet them at the gate of the city."


    "Yes


    Deng Zhan nodded, then turned and stepped back.

 Chapter 585

    Nanzheng County, ten miles northwest of the county.


    On this official road, there is a team of people coming at a high speed.


    The group was impressed by Ma Chao and others.


    The closer to Nanzheng County, the more uneasy Ma Chao was. The reason why he was worried was not because he was afraid of what Liu Xiu would do to him, but because he was afraid that Liu Xiu would not support him or lend him troops.


    Ma Dai rode with Ma Chao. Seeing Ma Chao''s manner, he said, "brother, everything will go well."


    "I hope so!"


    Ma Chao replied, still worried.


    For Zhang Lu, he knows quite well. After all, Zhang Lu and Liangzhou have been dealing with each other for such a long time.


    But Ma Chao didn''t know much about Liu Xiu. He only knew something about Liu Xiu.


    Whether Liu Xiu is easy to deal with is another matter.


    The team continued to move forward and was getting closer and closer to Nanzheng County. When the team arrived at Nanzheng County and came outside the gate, Ma Chao looked around and saw a group of people standing at the gate.


    Tang Sheng, as a general under wenpin, has seen wenpin. Seeing wenpin standing next to a young man, he raised his eyebrows and looked surprised because Liu Xiu came in person.


    Tang Sheng said, "Ma Chao, the governor of Zhou Mu went out to meet you in person. He is very polite to you."


    Tang Sheng and Ma Chao are quite familiar with each other.


    Ma Chao said: "Liu Jingzhou personally went out of the city to meet him, which really flattered Ma Chao."


    When the party was less than 100 steps away from the gate of the city, Ma Chao turned over and dismounted, and Ma Dai also turned over and dismounted and walked towards the gate of the city on foot to show respect for Liu Xiu.


    Soon, the party came to the gate.


    Liu Xiu took the initiative to welcome up, arched his hand and said: "Meng Qi, I''ve come all the way here. It''s been hard all the way."


    Ma Chao said: "Ma Chao has met Liu Jingzhou."


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and ordered Wen pin to take over Ma Chao''s soldiers. Then he took Ma Chao and Ma Dai to the government office. Entering the hall, the guest and host take their seats.


    Liu Xiu said, "how does Meng Qi feel about fighting Cao Cao?"


    Ma Chao said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao deserves to be a hero in the world. The army under his command is extremely elite. If he is defeated by Cao Cao, I will not be wronged."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Cao Cao is really powerful."


    Ma Chao said: "no matter how powerful Cao Cao is, he is also the defeated general of Liu Jingzhou."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said modestly, "I was lucky to defeat Cao Cao. Moreover, Cao Cao is not familiar with the topography of the south, otherwise it would not be so. "


    Ma Chao nodded and said something unimportant to Liu Xiu.


    However, neither side has entered the theme.


    Ma Chao was a little anxious, and said: "Liu Jingzhou, this time, on the one hand, is seeking the protection of Liu Jingzhou, on the other hand, is hoping that Liu Jingzhou can lend me troops to help me defeat Cao Cao and recapture Xiliang. When it''s done, I''ll thank you very much. "


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed. Ma Chao didn''t come to surrender.


    Call for help!


    Borrow!


    What an egg to borrow!


    Liu xiuxin said that Ma Chao was really naive, and no matter how Liu Xiu helped Ma Chao recapture Xiliang. Because Liu Xiu also has ideas about Xiliang. Once Ma Chao is in a big position, he will oppose Liu Xiu.


    If Ma Chao controls Xiliang, Liu Xiu is willing to make an alliance with Ma Chao.


    But now, Liu Xiu won''t support it. He just needs Ma Chao''s loyalty.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Meng Qi, if I lend you my troops, can you defeat Cao Cao?"


    Ma Chao said: "as long as Liu Jingzhou is willing to support me, then I have a chance."


    Liu xiudao: "how can I support you?" The tone of the words has been a little sharper, a little more piercing.


    Ma Chao said: "after it''s done, I will thank you very much."


    Liu Xiu said: "failed?"


    Ma Chao was shocked when he heard the speech.


    Yes, if he fails, how can he repay Liu Xiu?


    Ma Chao was also a person who once controlled one side, and he had tens of thousands of people under his command. He was not a fool. He knew that if he wanted Liu Xiu to support him, he had to have enough conditions to move Liu Xiu.


    It''s just that Ma Chao today has no soldiers, no territory, no money, and can''t repay Liu Xiu at all.


    Ma Chao took a deep breath and said, "as long as Liu Jingzhou supports it, it will be successful."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "even if I support you, you will certainly fail."


    "No way!"


    Ma Chao''s face changed and his eyes showed a stubborn look.


    Liu Xiu said: "it seems that Meng Qi doesn''t believe what I said."


    Ma Chao said: "yes!"


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "well, I''ll tell you why you lost to Cao Cao and why it''s impossible to defeat Cao Cao."Ma Chao said: "I''m all ears."


    Liu Xiu pondered for a moment, then said: "first, Cao Cao crusaded against you. He was ordered by the son of heaven to be righteous. On the contrary, if you don''t obey the imperial court''s orders, you are morally weak. Cao Cao was ordered by the son of heaven to crusade against those who did not obey him


    Ma Chao didn''t care. He said, "the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. Such a thing, in fact, is of little significance. As long as I can win, no matter what Cao Cao says, it''s useless. "


    Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "look, this is where you are mentally retarded."


    Ma Chao''s mouth twitches slightly, mentally retarded?


    As the eldest son of the Ma family, Ma Teng has high hopes for him. He is a god like existence in the eyes of countless Qiang people. How could he be said to be mentally retarded?


    On Ma Chao''s face, an unconvinced expression immediately appeared.


    Liu Xiu said slowly: "don''t worry, and listen to me slowly."


    "To say that you are mentally retarded is not to say that you are mentally retarded, but that you are politically retarded, not playing politics. To some extent, the so-called great righteousness is really meaningless. "


    "But for you, that''s going to make a big difference."


    "If Cao Cao deals with you and acts according to the prince''s orders, the people will naturally think you are treason when they get the news."


    "Just imagine, even the people do not support you, what can you do?"


    Liu Xiu''s expression was calm and said: "when you have absolute strength, you can not care about the role of the people. But now you have been defeated like a mountain and become a lost dog. What can you do without the support of the people? The people of Xiliang all support Cao Cao and think that Cao Cao is the master of Ming Dynasty. Can you go back to Xiliang again? "


    After hearing this, Ma Chao''s face showed a trace of emotion.


    All the angry looks just disappeared.


    In the past, he thought that great righteousness was useless, but now, listening to Liu Xiu''s words, he thinks that it is true. How can he turn the tide if even the people do not support him?


    Ma Chao arched his hand and said, "Liu Jingzhou has a point. Please continue!"


    Liu Xiu saw this with a smile on his lips.


    As long as Ma Chao is talked about, it is not difficult to accept him.


    Liu Xiu continued: "second, Cao Cao''s civil and military officials are full of talents. Among them, Xun Yu is good at government affairs, which can ensure that Cao Cao''s rear is carefree and has sufficient food and grass; Xun you is outstanding in stratagem, which can make Cao Cao March and win by surprise; Cheng Yu, Yang Xiu, Chen Qun, Liu Ye, man Chong and others are outstanding in talent. Not to mention, Cao Cao also had generals such as Xu Chu, Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong and Cao Ren. There are so many talents under Cao Cao''s command, but what talents are under Meng Qi''s command? "


    Ma Chao''s face turned white and his eyes showed a sense of helplessness.


    Up to now, Ma Chao has only one thousand soldiers under his command, and only Ma Dai, his younger brother, can follow him. There is no other military general. In a word, he is really naked, and nobody can use him at all.


    At this moment, Ma Chao also has some decadence.


    Father was killed by Cao Cao, brother was killed by Cao Cao, he and Cao Cao hate more than days. If he does not kill Cao Cao, he will never stop. However, after listening to Liu Xiu''s analysis, Ma Chao felt decadent.


    He stared at Liu Xiu, and suddenly there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.


    As long as Liu Xiu helps him, there will be a chance.


    Ma Chao said: "Liu Jingzhou has a point. Please continue."


    Liu Xiu continued: "third, Cao Cao has strong influence in the northern states and can advance and retreat freely. On the other hand, the loss of Liangzhou is like a lost dog. Even if Meng Qi temporarily recaptured Liangzhou, he could not defeat Cao Cao and avenge his family. "


    After Ma Chao heard this, he felt reasonable.


    Ma Chao''s eyes turned and suddenly said, "please teach me how to take revenge."

 Chapter 586

    Liu Xiu is not anxious not slow way: "to revenge is very simple, submit to me, you have the opportunity to revenge."


    Brush!


    Ma Chao''s face suddenly turned black.


    After all, Liu Xiu was trying to make him submissive. He was really deceiving people too much.


    Although Ma Chao became a person who ran away in a panic, he would not depend on others to become a minister of others. At this time, Ma Chao was still the master of one side and did not want to be instructed by others.


    Ma Chao said coldly: "I didn''t expect that Liu Jingzhou was the one who took advantage of the fire. I''ve seen it. Since Liu Jingzhou is not willing to help Ma, I''ll leave. "


    The cold words are full of anger in Ma Chao''s heart.


    In Ma Chao''s mind, Liu Xiu is the one who takes advantage of the fire.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Meng Qi, the gate is here. Please help yourself."


    For Ma Chao, Liu Xiu knows that he is proud.


    If Ma Chao is still arrogant and uncooperative, or hostile, after his surrender, then Liu Xiu is not recruiting talents, but blocking himself.


    Therefore, Liu Xiu must first solve Ma Chao''s psychological emotions.


    Ma Chao''s anger surged up, where he could manage so much. He got up and said, "goodbye!"


    With a flick of his sleeve, he walked out.


    Ma Dai followed Ma Chao and was in a hurry.


    Liu Xiu looked at Ma Chao''s back and said, "Ma Chao, once you get out of this door, you will never get revenge from Cao Cao. All over the world, the only one who can compete with Cao Cao is his own official. "


    Ma Chao had already arrived at the gate. When he heard Liu Xiu''s words, he was stiff.


    As he went out, he also stopped.


    Ma Chao clenched his fist, and his angry look in his eyes kept flashing.


    As Liu Xiu said, no one in the world can compete with Cao Cao except Liu Xiu. If Ma Chao wants to get revenge from Cao Cao, he can only get revenge from Liu Xiu.


    Ma Chao takes a deep breath, suppresses his anger, turns around and looks at Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu saw this with a smile in his mouth.


    He knew that Ma Chao couldn''t have left because Ma Chao was carrying the hatred of the Ma family.


    Liu Xiu continued: "you can think about what I said just now. With your ability and means, can you really defeat Cao Cao? That''s impossible. It''s OK for you to be in a small place like Xiliang, but it''s not enough to look around the world and compete with Cao Cao. "


    Ma Chao said: "why do you want me to be loyal to you?"


    At this time, Ma Chao was still proud.


    Everyone with excellent martial arts skills has enough pride and self-confidence.


    In the past, Cao Cao led the army to conquer Xuzhou and captured Lv Bu alive.


    Now the prisoner, LV Ganbu, said, "I''m willing to surrender for you. Cao Gong, you are in command of the army, and I, Lu Bu, will assist you. The world can decide. "


    Is that what a prisoner should say?


    No!


    It can be said that Lu Bu is confident, and it can also be said that Lu Bu feels good about himself.


    But Cao Cao was really moved.


    It''s a pity that Liu Bei let Cao Cao kill Lv Bu.


    Today''s Ma Chao is like a lost dog, no different from the situation of Lu Bu in the past. But like Lu Bu, he still has self-confidence and feels good about himself.


    Liu Xiu smile slightly, light way: "Mengqi dominate in the world, by what?"


    Ma Chao said: "I have a golden spear in my hand. No one can beat me. The world is so big that you can go there. "


    Liu Xiu said, "it means that as long as you can defeat you, you are willing to surrender?"


    Ma Chao said: "you can say that!"


    For his own martial arts, Ma Chao is quite confident. Ma Chao fought with Cao Cao, once fought with Xu Chu, and finally forced Xu Chu to withdraw.


    Xu Chu is the most powerful general under Cao Cao. He even defeated Xu Chu. How can he be afraid of the world?


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "well, I''ll choose a general from under my command, if you can defeat him. Then, I will support your soldiers and food unconditionally, and send troops to cooperate with you in attacking Cao Cao. What if you fail? "


    Although Liu Xiu just said that Ma Chao should be obedient, Liu Xiu wants Ma Chao to say it himself.


    Ma Chao said: "your people beat me? It''s not like you beat me. "


    Liu Xiu chuckled twice and said, "Meng Qi, it''s not my official who hit you. Just by what you said just now, you are naive again. "


    Ma Chao snorted, but he didn''t speak.


    Liu Xiu said: "emperor Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, once said that in the curtain of planning and strategy, I am not as good as Zifang; I am not as good as Xiao He in governing the country, pacifying the people, paying for food, and providing endless supplies; I am not as good as Han Xin in winning a million battles and attacking."


    "Do you see how outstanding emperor Gao''s martial arts are? Have you ever seen how powerful he is in internal affairs? ""The duty of the Lord is to recruit talented people and make good use of them."


    "If a Lord only knows how to be brave and fierce, he will be doomed sooner or later."


    Liu Xiu looked solemn and said, "do you see how powerful Cao Cao is? Do you see how good Sun Quan''s martial arts are? But as long as Cao Cao can command people to defeat you, that''s enough. "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "it''s the same thing to put it on my official. It''s not that I want to defeat you personally, but that someone can defeat you, that''s victory. "


    "Your bravery is nothing but the bravery of a man."


    "You can be an enemy of a hundred and a thousand, but can you be an enemy of ten thousand?"


    Liu Xiu said, "Meng Qi, what do you think?"


    Ma Chao''s mouth twitched slightly. He had intended to challenge Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu''s words not only perfectly explained the reason why he didn''t fight in person, but also criticized him.


    In the end, Ma Chao suffered.


    Ma Chao said: "well, who will you send to fight?"


    "Yellow tiger!"


    Liu Xiu called.


    "The end will be here!"


    Huang Hu stands up and salutes.


    Although Huang Hu has always played an important role in the army, he is still naive when he doesn''t fight. It seems that human and animal are harmless.


    The only difference is that he is quite big.


    Huang Hu looks at Ma Chao and smiles, with a simple and honest look on his face.


    Just in the eye son, pass by a touch of cunning look.


    It''s not so easy for me. In Huang Hu''s eyes, Liu Xiu is quite polite to Ma Chao. This guy is still in a bad mood. It''s really irritating.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Ma Chao, Huang Hu is under my command. His martial arts are at least the top three. As long as you can defeat him, I will help you attack Cao Cao unconditionally. "


    Ma Chao took a look at Huang Hu and looked contemptuous.


    The world''s generals, Ma Chao is not afraid!


    In front of him, this simple and honest general is a beaten face.


    Ma Chao said solemnly, "Liu Jingzhou, are you sure you want to send Huang Hu to fight?"


    On hearing this, Huang Hu''s face remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with anger. How can you set me up? For a time, the anger in Huang Hu''s heart surged out, and he had decided to deal with Ma Chao.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "a gentleman''s word is hard to chase! Meng Qi, I''m the official. As long as you can defeat Huang Hu, I''ll help you attack Cao Cao unconditionally. "


    "Good!"


    Ma Chao nodded and said, "Liu Jingzhou, you can prepare for the martial arts competition."


    Liu Xiu took a look at Huang Hu and knew that Ma Chao must be miserable this time. He said, "the place of the martial arts competition is just outside the gate. Now, each of you has your own weapons


    Huang Hu ordered the soldiers to get his golden hammer from the drum jar, while Ma Chao asked people to get the golden gun from Hu touzhan.


    Two people go to the courtyard outside the hall, get together five steps away and stand.


    Liu Xiu with the people under his command, eyes fell on the two people in the yard, said: "can start."


    Huang Hu said, "please!"


    Ma Chao said, "after you!"


    For Huang Hu carrying a drum urn hammer to fight, Ma Chao is not to appreciate. Such a big man, at first glance, is a clumsy person, certainly not his opponent.

 Chapter 587

    Huang Hu grinned when he heard Ma Chao''s words.


    Since his debut, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and even Xu Chu have not been his rivals.


    Huang Hu regretted that he did not meet Lu Bu.


    Otherwise, the first name in the world would have belonged to him.


    Now, a broken Ma Chao, even pretending to be a wolf with a big tail, is really short of pumping!


    "Drink!"


    Huang Hu murmured, stamped his feet and rushed forward. The golden hammer in his hand was like a feather. He swung it lightly and smashed it at Ma Chao.


    "Mount Tai hammer!"


    Huang Hu''s hand in the air, when the golden hammer fell, the speed suddenly accelerated.


    The power of this is more than doubled.


    The golden hammer of the drum jar passed through the air with a roaring sound, which was shocking.


    As the saying goes, once an expert makes a move, he has nothing to do with it.


    Huang Hu''s action, Ma Chao knows that the opponent is extraordinary, but only for this, not too much amazing. Ma Chao''s golden gun of tiger head Zhan shakes in the air, and the big gun sweeps across. The long gun is like a dragon, just like a ferocious dragon, and then it hits the golden hammer of the drum jar, giving out a bang.


    Mars splashed, and Mount Tai''s hammer fell in the same posture.


    The golden gun of Hutou Zhan was spread out, and even Ma Chao''s hand holding the gun was shocked.


    At this time, the golden hammer of the drum jar had been smashed.


    Ma Chao''s face changed greatly. He didn''t even think about it, so he withdrew.


    "Kick! Kick


    Ma Chao retreated three steps in a row to avoid Huang Hu''s attack. However, the golden hammer of the drum jar hit the ground and made a roar. The floor was broken and the ground was smashed out of a pit.


    "Gudong!"


    When Ma Chao saw this, he was shocked.


    What a powerful force!


    What a domineering weapon!


    Ma Chao clenched the golden gun of tiger head Zhan in his hand. He knew that Huang Hu could not be allowed to show his ferocity, otherwise he would be defeated. At the moment when Huang Hu''s hammer hit the ground and the old move was used, Ma Chao had thrust his gun forward.


    A little cold light, blooming in the air.


    Sharp and sharp, close to Huang Hu''s heart.


    Huang Hu roared: "boy, I''m waiting for you to kill me."


    Speaking late, then fast, the golden hammer of Huang Hu''s left drum jar swung again and smashed into the golden spear of Hu touzhan.


    The hammer is so fast that it doesn''t look like a heavy weapon at all.


    As if, as light as a feather.


    A shadow of hammer passed in the air.


    "Pa!"


    The golden hammer of the drum jar smashed on the golden gun of tiger head Cham. In an instant, a violent force was transmitted.


    "Hum!"


    The barrel of the gun vibrated, and Ma Chao''s hand holding the gun was even more painful. At the moment when Ma Chao was shocked, Huang Hu''s right-hand drum jar gold hammer took advantage of the situation and was smashed again.


    "Cape hammer!"


    The speed of this hammer is more rapid and domineering.


    The hammer fell on the barrel of the gun.


    "PATA!"


    The golden hammer fell on the barrel of the gun. In an instant, there was a click, and the barrel of the gun broke directly. But Ma Chao''s hand, unexpectedly is shakes the tiger mouth crack, flows out the blood.


    Huang Hu bullied his body and entered. The golden hammer in the drum jar crossed the air and finally stopped in front of Ma Chao.


    If we go further, we will hammer Ma Chao.


    "Don''t think too much of yourself!"


    As soon as Huang Hu''s hammers collided with each other in the air, they made a harsh sound. Then they left and handed over the two golden hammers to the soldiers.


    At the moment, Ma Chao stood in the same place, dazed and absent-minded.


    It''s broken!


    The golden spear is broken!


    Lost!


    He is not the enemy of the yellow tiger.


    Ma Chao''s presence in the battlefield is more like a god of heaven in the Qiang nationality. Where the tiger''s head and golden spear pass, no one can stop it. Even in the face of Cao Cao''s tiger generals, Ma Chao can also challenge one by one.


    But in the face of Huang Hu, he was suppressed everywhere, and he had no power to fight back.


    Such a situation is really a blow.


    Liu Xiu saw Ma Chao''s situation and said, "Meng Qi, what else do you have to say now?"


    "Ma Chao is willing to go back to Liu Jingzhou and only ask Liu Jingzhou to avenge his family," he said


    At this time, Ma Chao is wilting.


    Liu Xiu looked in his eyes and said, "it''s no shame to be defeated by Huang Hu. Do you know Xu Chu? "


    Ma Chao said, "of course I know."


    Liu Xiu said: "when Xu Chu faced the yellow tiger, he had to run away."


    When Ma Chao heard this, he looked surprised. He didn''t expect that Xu Chu was defeated by Huang Hu. In fact, it''s Ma Chao who is behind the news, so he doesn''t know about Huang Hu. That''s why he is so lost.Liu Xiu said, "do you know Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?"


    Ma Chao said: "both of them are world generals."


    Liu Xiu said: "Zhang Fei was captured by Huang Husheng, and Guan Yu was also the defeated general of Huzi."


    "Hiss!"


    Ma Chao took a breath.


    You know, Zhang Fei is the one who can fight against Lv Bu. Guan Yu is also the one who can kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou. He can be called the tiger General of the time. I didn''t expect that these people were all defeated by Huang Hu today.


    Liu Xiu said: "my official told you this, not to hit you, but to tell you that it''s not just you who lost to Huzi and Huanghu. It''s not humiliating."


    "Yes


    Ma Chao''s face was rather strange.


    It''s no shame to lose to Huang Hu!


    How can this sound so awkward?


    Ma Chao quietly picked up the tiger head Zhan golden gun, took off the gun head, and then threw away the gun barrel. If the barrel of a gun collapses, you have to choose a good one again.


    Liu Xiu took people back to the hall, and Ma Chao stood in the hall, arched his hand and said: "humble Ma Chao, meet the Lord."


    Seeing Huang Hu''s hammering method, Ma Chao was convinced.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "I''m going to send a counselor to discuss with you the strategy of marching. But now that Meng Qi has come back, that''s all


    "Master Ma Yingming said


    In Ma Chao''s heart, he was glad that he didn''t gamble with Liu Xiu''s counselors.


    Otherwise, he will die even worse. Now think about it, Liu Xiu''s words are really reasonable. He is just a general fighting on the battlefield, not suitable to be the leader of one side.


    Liu Xiuse said: "Meng Qi, I will prepare for your revenge. However, for the time being, I still need to stabilize the situation in Hanzhong and deploy troops. Therefore, if it is fast, it will be January, if it is slow, it will be March


    "Thank you, Lord!"


    Ma Chao got Liu Xiu''s promise and was very happy.


    Liu Xiu said it in front of everyone, and he won''t go back on it.


    Liu Xiu said: "Mengqi has been a long journey. I''ll ask someone to arrange a rest place for you."


    "Thank you


    Ma Chao said thanks and left under the guidance of the attendant.


    In the hall, Xu Shu said: "Lord, do you really want to fight with Cao Cao next?" For the current situation, Liu Xiucai got the whole Yizhou, and it was really difficult to start a war in a few months.


    Liu Xiu looked solemn and said, "if Cao Cao defeated Ma Chao, he will surely know that I defeated Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu. Even if Cao hancao doesn''t send troops to fight, we won''t fight. So this war is inevitable. "


    Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "my Lord, you have a point. This battle is inevitable."


    Pang Tong laughed and said: "in fact, to some extent, Ma Chao''s obedience is a good start for us to fight Cao Cao. This war gives us more room for operation. "


    Liu Xiu said, "what does Shi Yuan think?"


    Pang Tong said solemnly, "after all, Ma Chao is from Xiliang. Even if he was expelled by Cao Cao, he has enough prestige in Xiliang. So next, we can use Ma Chao''s power to seek Xiliang. "


    "When Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong, we fought. It was a war in the face of the public."


    "Ma Chao''s plan for Xiliang is a secret strategy."


    Pang Tong said: "only by working in two ways can we win this battle. Even, it will give Cao Cao a heavy blow. "


    Jia Xu nodded his head and said: "Shiyuan''s strategy is good, but Ma Chao suddenly succumbed. Although the Lord suppressed him today, his ambition and pride were restrained. However, it is difficult to guarantee that Ma Chao will not win Xiliang and become independent. "


    Deng Zhan suddenly said, "my Lord, I have a suggestion."


    "What advice?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Deng Zhan said: "according to the information reported by Tang Sheng, Ma Chao led his troops to retreat to Nanzheng County. In addition to his younger brother Ma Dai, there is a younger sister Ma Yunlu. Now Ma Chao is left with these relatives. He can''t ignore their lives. As long as the Lord marries Ma Yunlu, it''s safe. "

 Chapter 588

    Liu Xiu Leng for a moment, Deng Zhan, what is this bullshit suggestion?


    Marriage!


    Another marriage!


    Liu Xiu didn''t speak yet, and the rest of the people were all bright in their eyes.


    Jia Xu stroked his chin beard and looked excited. He said: "Lord, although Deng Zhan doesn''t show his beauty, his suggestion is really good. My Lord, I propose to marry Ma Yunlu. "


    Pang Tong said: "the only reliable way to win over Ma Chao is to do so."


    Xu Shu said, "my Lord, I''m seconding."


    Wenpin said, "my Lord, I agree with you. What''s more, my Lord has been married for many years, and so far there are only a few wives, which is too few. As the Lord of Jingzhou, now he controls Jiaozhou and Yizhou, and he has to spread his branches and leaves. "


    Huang Hu heard the speech, but also a series of coax.


    Everybody, it''s advice.


    In this era, marriage is the most common thing.


    Just as in the history of Zhang Lu''s submission to Cao Cao, Cao Cao let his son marry Zhang Lu''s son. When Cao Cao accepted Zhang Xiu, he let her marry his daughter.


    Marriage of interests is common.


    Liu Xiu listened and nodded slightly. Liu Xiu doesn''t exclude marriage. He just wants to get married every time. Most of the women in his backyard are married. They are always uncomfortable.


    Liu Xiu said, "who is the most suitable person to do this?"


    Jia Xu said with a smile, "if you trust me, let me go."


    Liu xiudao: "this matter, hard military."


    "What''s hard, not hard!"


    Jia Xu laughs and discusses other things with Liu Xiu before going down to prepare.


    ¡­¡­


    In a yard in the backyard.


    Ma Chao and Ma Dai stayed, washed up, and then sat down in the yard.


    Ma Dai said, "brother, do you really intend to submit to Liu Xiu?"


    Ma Chao took out the head of Hu touzhan''s golden gun, rubbed it, and murmured, "Dai Di, I agree with what Liu Xiu said today. I am not the best in martial arts or domestic affairs. Even, I can''t do what Liu Xiu did. "


    "Cao Cao is cunning and ruthless."


    "Liu Xiu is as cunning as a fox, and his tongue is as bright as a flower."


    "As the leaders of one side, they all have their own unique charm, which can make their subordinates loyal and gather talents. But what about me? I can''t compare with them. "


    Ma Chao looked solemn and said, "at best, I am similar to Lu Bu. But I don''t have my martial arts yet. You said, "if I don''t submit to Liu Xiu, how can I avenge my father and brothers?"


    Ma Dai was silent when he heard the speech.


    Liu Xiu''s words are reasonable. Ma Chao''s understanding is self-knowledge.


    Ma Dai said: "since the elder brother has decided to surrender, we will work hard for Liu Xiu, and strive for revenge for comfortable and elder brothers as soon as possible. Then the elder brother will be appointed as a marquis and a general to shine on the Ma family."


    Ma Chao laughed and said, "if it''s Guangyao Ma family, it''s also Dai di you."


    Ma Dai said, "why?"


    Ma Chao said: "my strength lies in my martial arts. I don''t March any more. At best, I am just a strong general. But you''ve read the book of war since you were a child, and you''ve acted steadily. You''re not as impulsive as I am. If you follow under Liu Xiu''s command, you will certainly be able to stand out. So, you have to do well. "


    "Well!"


    Ma Dai nodded and looked forward to it.


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, a servant came in and reported: "General Ma, Mr. Jia Xu, Mr. Jia Junshi is visiting. I don''t know if I can see the General Ma?"


    The servant''s inquiry made Ma Chao feel warm.


    From this point of view, Liu Xiu has great respect for him. Everyone wears clothes first.


    Ma Chao waved his hand and said, "please!"


    Ma Chao also heard about Jia Xu, because he was also from Liangzhou. Only later, Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu were subordinated to Cao Cao, and then came under the command of Liu Xiu.


    After a while, Jia Xu came in.


    With a smile on his face, Jia Xu said, "I''ve met General Ma."


    Ma Chao said: "Mr. Jia, please sit down!"


    After taking a seat, Jia Xu said, "I''m an old friend of General Ma, both of whom came from Liangzhou. Moreover, we all worked under Dong Zhuo. But later, after Dong Zhuo died, the horse general stayed in Liangzhou, and I went to the Lord''s command and became the Lord''s commander. "


    Ma Chao said: "it''s really a great joy to meet an old friend in another country."


    Jia Xu nodded his head and said: "for your father, I have several relationships with you in the past. It''s really a pity that your father died in the hands of Cao Cao. "


    Ma Chao heard the speech, but he sighed.


    Jia Xu said: "Cao Cao is a man of great bearing for those who are valuable to him. But the worthless, he is abandoned as my shoes. When I was taken away by my Lord, my family was almost killed. Thanks to my Lord, I was able to save my family''s life. "Ma Chao said with a smile: "Mr. Jia has a point."


    Jia Xu added: "on the one hand, I''m here to hope that General Ma will be really valued by the Lord. On the other hand, I hope that General Ma will get revenge. Finally, I hope the Lord will get a general. "


    Ma Chao''s expression suddenly stood in awe and said, "please give me advice!"


    Jia Xu said: "General Ma knows that after you left, there was a dispute among the people under the Lord''s command."


    "What dispute?"


    Ma Chao''s heart tightened at once.


    Jia Xu said: "at that time, we were discussing the issue of war. At that time, we discussed that Cao Cao might attack Hanzhong, and the LORD would attack Cao Cao. But the Lord also plans to send an army into Liangzhou to act in Liangzhou. "


    "The general involved is general ma."


    "The Lord proposed that General Ma should be the main force to fight in Liangzhou. After all, General Ma is familiar with Liangzhou and has prestige in it. But this proposal was opposed by the generals and a group of counsellors in the army. "


    Jia Xu said here with a helpless look on his face.


    Ma Chao''s heart suddenly nervous up, said: "the final result?"


    Jia Xu said: "there is no result yet!"


    Ma Chao clenched his fist, but he was angry and hated those who dissuaded him.


    "At that time, the royal guards Deng Zhan put forward a proposal that in order to promote the relationship between the two sides, marriage could be adopted," Jia said. Deng Zhan heard from Tang Sheng that Ma Yunlu, the younger sister of General Ma, had also come, so he proposed that the Lord marry Ma Yunlu. "


    Ma Chao frowned, looked at Jia Xu and said, "this is the purpose of the military division."


    In the tone, there is a trace of bad.


    After all, he has only one sister, who is very loving.


    Jia Xu was not impatient and said: "General Ma is really smart. The purpose of coming down is for Ma Yunlu. Don''t be in a hurry to refuse. Listen to me. If General Ma finds it inappropriate, it''s not too late to refuse. "


    Ma Chao said: "you say!"


    Jia Xu said: "first of all, the Lord is not sentimental. He is really good for women. As a leader of one party, there are no ten or eight women, which is abnormal. General Ma, what do you think? "


    Ma Chao nodded and agreed with Jia Xu.


    You know, there are a lot of women in Ma Chao''s life.


    Jia Xu said, "but my Lord is different. Up to now, my Lord has only three wives, Huang Yueying, sun Shangxiang and Shi Xuan. The Lord is very fond of the three ladies. If Ma Yunlu marries his Lord, he must be favored. At least he will not marry the wrong person. "


    Ma Chao nodded after hearing this.


    It''s not easy for Liu Xiu to have at least three women.


    Jia Xu continued: "second, if General Ma wants to avenge his father, he must make other people shut up and let the LORD have enough reason to believe you. When the Lord married Ma Yunlu, the two sides were related by marriage. The Lord avenged Ma Yunlu, which is natural. The Lord let you lead the army into Xiliang, that is also reasonable. The officials under the Lord''s command will not do anything again, and the Lord will not be embarrassed. Only in this way can General Ma get revenge. "


    Ma Chao listened to the second reason and hesitated.


    As Jia Xu said, this is the truth.

 Chapter 589

    When Jia Xu saw Ma Chao''s hesitation, he knew that Ma Chao had moved.


    Add a fire, let Ma Chao''s defense completely collapse.


    Jia Xu said: "third, the horse general has avenged himself, but it also needs to show his strong points. It''s the fight between the general and Gongyan that made you fight today. Huang Hu''s martial arts, it is a monster, no one can match. In contrast, General Ma''s martial arts are extraordinary in the world. Not only that, the general is also proficient in marching and fighting. "


    After a pause, Jia Xu said: "in my opinion, General Ma can at least become a general in charge of one side, and should not be unknown. So the role of marriage is to let General Ma not be constrained any more. "


    The expression on Ma Chao''s face was even more moving.


    Jia Xu said: "fourth, doesn''t General Ma want to shine? Ma Yuan, the ancestor of the Ma family, was a great Fubo general and the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Now in the generation of generals, have you forgotten the glory of your ancestors? "


    "When the Lord is in charge of Jingzhou, Yizhou and Jiaozhou, he is already in charge of the world."


    "Cao Cao and the Lord are the only heroes in the world."


    "It must be the Lord, not Cao Cao, who will win the world in the future. It''s not because of Cao Cao''s lack of ability, but because Cao Cao is no longer in his prime, he is already in his twilight years. "


    Jia Xu said: "so sooner or later, the Lord will win the world. If General Ma wants to be a hero of the founding of the country and reappear the glory of general Fubo Ma Yuan, he can only follow the Lord. "


    Ma Chao listened to the last words, the expression has no hesitation, the heart of the decision.


    Ma Chao arched his hand and said, "I understand, military strategist."


    Jia Xu said: "in that case, the old man went back to spread a message, saying that the general is willing to let the Lord marry Ma Yunlu some day. What do you think?"


    "Yes


    Ma Chao nodded and agreed with Jia Xu.


    "Goodbye!"


    Jia Xu stood up and left.


    Ma Dai looked at Jia Xu''s back and said, "brother, do you really want Yunlu to marry Liu Xiu?"


    Ma Chao thought about it and said, "in fact, I agree with Jia Xu. I believe that Jia Xu can''t lie about Liu Xiu''s private affairs. If you ask a little bit about it, you can know about it. "


    After a pause, Ma Chao said: "and I want to avenge my father, I can only do so."


    Ma Dai sighed: "let''s go to the camp and talk about it with Yunlu."


    "Good!"


    Ma Chao stood up and left the mansion with Ma Dai, heading for the barracks.


    ¡­¡­


    Jia Xu went back to his study, told Liu Xiu the news and said, "my Lord, Ma Chao has agreed. So next, you just need to choose the day and marry Ma Yunlu. "


    Liu Xiu said: "the matter is led by you, military adviser. Then it''s up to you. "


    "Ah


    Jia Xu Leng for a while, did not expect Liu Xiu let him to operate.


    Liu Xiu said: "in the past, everything was done by Yi nationality. There is no one with high moral standing, so you can only operate this matter. "


    After hearing this, Jia Xu said with a smile on his face, "I will obey you."


    Jia Xu could not bear the four words of virtue and high prestige, but he was quite happy.


    At least, this proves his position in Liu Xiu''s mind.


    Jia Xu left his study, while Liu Xiu continued to deal with government affairs. But in Liu Xiu''s heart, he was curious about Ma Yunlu. When he was in Jiaozhou in the past, Shi Xuan was a person without a name in history, while Ma Yunlu had some unofficial records.


    What about such people?


    I hope it won''t be rude.


    Liu Xiu''s requirements for women are not high, as long as he can see the past and be gentle enough.


    ¡­¡­


    After arriving at the barracks, Ma Chao soon came to the place where his soldiers were stationed.


    After finding Ma Yunlu, Ma Chao looked pitiful and said, "Yunlu, next you don''t have to go to the barracks any more. Go to the Yamen with your elder brother."


    Ma Yunlu said, "OK!"


    At this time, Ma Yunlu was dressed in the clothes of ordinary soldiers and dressed as a man.


    Her complexion is not fair, it is healthy wheat.


    It''s just her figure, but she''s symmetrical and slim.


    A cheek is a typical melon face, big eyes blink, with some flexibility.


    Ma Chao and Ma Dai take Ma Yunlu back to the house. When they come to the yard, they ask people to prepare the clothes for the women. After Ma Yunlu washes, they change back to the women''s clothes.


    After the re dressing, Ma Yunlu''s whole person has a more graceful charm.


    Valiant!


    At this time, Ma Yunlu can only use these four words to describe.


    Ma Chao looked at Ma Yunlu''s dress with satisfaction and said, "our little sister is beautiful."


    Ma Yunlu sat down with a smile and said, "big brother, how can you be such a boastful lady who sells melons? It''s true. But I just like it, ha haMa Chao reached out and rubbed Ma Yunlu''s head, but he didn''t give up.


    Ma Yunlu thought delicate, aware of the change of Ma Chao''s expression, said: "what''s the matter with big brother?"


    Ma Chao said: "Yunlu, elder brother told you a marriage."


    "Ah


    Ma Yunlu was shocked when he heard the speech.


    Immediately, Ma Yunlu said, "brother, do you want me to marry Liu Xiu?"


    "Yes


    Ma Chao nodded with a solemn expression.


    Ma Yunlu is to smile, way: "elder brother facial expression why so heavy." She looked at Ma Dai and said, "brother Dai doesn''t have to be like this. Why should he be so dignified? Liu Xiu is a hero in the world. It''s my blessing to marry her. "


    Ma Chao said: "little sister, you really think so."


    Ma Yunlu''s expression dignified, said: "brother, take the simplest example. When you were in Xiliang, did you marry women you liked? In fact, most of them are just marriages. What about the woman my father married? It''s the same


    "Since ancient times, the family of marquis, how could they find their own husband?"


    "I''m the daughter of the Ma family. I know I can''t make my own decisions in my own marriage."


    "It''s good to be able to marry Liu Xiu."


    Ma Yunlu said, with a touch of helplessness in his expression, but he was more thankful and said: "Liu Xiu is young, such a person must be good. And when I marry Liu Xiu, my elder brother can get Liu Xiu''s trust, so that he can lead the army to fight, make contributions, and avenge his father and brothers. "


    After saying that, Ma Chao was already in tears.


    Originally, Ma Chao was ready to be criticized. I didn''t expect that Ma Yunlu had said such a thing, which made his elder brother speechless.


    Don''t play with tears!


    At the moment, Ma Chao is a mixture of five tastes in his heart.


    On the one hand, there is always a sense of betraying my sister.


    On the other hand, it is so sensible and warm sister.


    Ma Chao''s manner made Ma Yunlu a little flustered. Immediately, Ma Yunlu recovered. He grabbed Ma Chao''s hand and said, "brother, Ma''s family is not only your own family, but also my brother Dai''s and me. It''s not only your responsibility, but also my responsibility and brother Dai''s


    Ma Dai couldn''t help crying when he heard the speech.


    He is also a big man, but suddenly heard Ma Yunlu''s words, can''t help but tears ran.


    When Ma Yunlu saw the two brothers shed tears, his heart was sour. She followed the two brothers and knew the pressure they were under. She said, "don''t cry, big brother and Dai brother. If you cry again, you won''t be my brother who stands tall in my heart."


    Ma Chao nodded solemnly, wiped away his tears and said, "Yunlu, elder brother will take revenge for his father."


    Ma Dai said, "little sister, we won''t let you down."


    Ma Yunlu smiles and says, "I believe in the two brothers."


    At this time, Ma Yunlu''s heart, but there is a trace of smile. She has not been able to help, but this time, she felt that she had helped, so that the two brothers closer to revenge.


    Three brothers and sisters get together, gradually more laughter.


    Ma Chao told Jia Xu about Liu Xiu again, which made Ma Yunlu have a bottom in his heart. But Ma Yunlu was also very surprised. He didn''t expect that Liu Xiu had only three wives, which was really amazing.


    She grew up in the Ma family and practiced martial arts since childhood. She is not an ordinary daughter''s family and has great courage. So for marrying Liu Xiu, there is no ordinary girl''s Secret joy and charming.


    Therefore, Ma Yunlu is looking forward to meeting Liu Xiu.


    July 18 is a good time to get married.


    On this day, Liu Xiu married Ma Yunlu.


    Jia Xu hired Ma Yunlu himself and married him to Liu Xiu''s house.


    But Ma Yunlu can only be a concubine when he marries, not a wife. No matter Ma Chao or Ma Yunlu, they have tacit understanding about this identity.


    Liu Xiu held a banquet in his family, inviting a group of generals such as Wen pin, Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Ma Chao and Huang Hu.


    At the banquet, people pushed cups to hand over cups.


    Through this banquet, Ma Chao also integrated into it.


    After Liu Xiu''s dinner party, he went to the backyard.


    It''s worth a lot of money in spring and night, so Liu Xiu naturally has to accompany Ma Yunlu.


    In the room, Liu Xiu comes to Ma Yunlu, who is wearing a red cap. He has not seen Ma Yunlu before, this is the first time. However, this does not prevent Liu Xiu, he raised the red cap.


    In the eye, a happy and angry face is welcome.


    Melon face, big eyes, thin lips.


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, Ma Yunlu''s beauty is slightly inferior to Shi Xuan''s. Although she is not as gentle as a lady, she is more cunning and even wild.


    Liu Xiu looked at Ma Yunlu, and so did Ma Yunlu.Ma Yunlu said, "Liu Jingzhou!"


    Liu xiudao: "call your husband!"


    "Yes, my Lord!"


    Ma Yunlu lengthened his voice, but he was a bit more playful. She stared at Liu Xiu and said, "I heard that my husband is a hero in the world. I have some questions to ask him. Can I help you?"


    Liu Xiu smiles and asks questions in his new house. It''s Ma Yunlu''s first time.


    No matter Huang Yueying, sun Shangxiang or Shi Xuan, they are very shy on their wedding night.


    Only Ma Yunlu can let go.


    Liu Xiu sat down beside Ma Yunlu and said, "if you have any questions, just ask."


    Ma Yunlu blinked and asked, "I heard that my husband once went to Xuchang to celebrate Cao Cao''s birthday. When I saw Cao Cao, was my husband not afraid of him?"


    Liu Xiu said, "Cao Cao is not a monster. What am I afraid he will do? And although Cao Cao is a little short, he is not ugly. So, there''s nothing to be afraid of. "


    Ma Yunlu also said: "when Cao Cao''s army came to Jingzhou, was my husband not afraid?"


    Liu xiutan opened his hand, shrugged his shoulders and said, "the most important thing is that it''s useless to be afraid. It''s better to use your worry to resist Cao Cao. "


    Ma Yunlu said: "my husband will defeat Cao Cao in the future, right?"


    Liu xiudao: "of course!"


    When Ma Yunlu heard this, he had a happy face.


    Liu Xiu''s mind changed. I''m afraid that this girl is trying to test his ambition by asking whether she has the mind to attack Cao Cao and compete with the rest of the world. Once Liu Xiu was in a corner, it would be impossible to fight Cao Cao and avenge Ma Teng.


    Ma Yunlu said, "my husband, I will serve you to undress."


    "Well!"


    Liu Xiu stood up, hands flat, let Ma Yunlu undress. But Ma Yunlu stood in front of Liu Xiu, but his hand trembled.


    Pretty face, a little more shy.


    Liu Xiu looked at some clumsy Ma Yunlu and suddenly laughed.


    Ma Yunlu was very anxious. When he heard Liu Xiu''s laughter, his face turned red and worried.


    "I can''t get it off!"


    Ma Yunlu murmured. His hand was hard. He only heard Yila, but he tore the buckle. Then, Ma Yunlu untied the outer coat for Liu Xiu, leaving the underwear inside.


    Liu Xiu looks at Ma Yunlu with a pretty face and blushes. He picks him up and goes to the bed.


    A night of pleasure, the next morning.


    It was just dawn when Liu Xiu woke up.


    Liu Xiu did not disturb Ma Yunlu to rest, but went out for morning exercise.


    When Ma Yunlu woke up, he found that there was no one around him. She put on her clothes and then opened the door to see Liu Xiu practicing his sword in the yard.


    When it''s fast, it moves like a rabbit; when it''s slow, it crawls like a turtle.


    Ma Yunlu has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he also knows a little bit of martial arts. Liu Xiu''s swordsmanship is not simple.


    His sword skill is already superb.


    Ma Yunlu heard Ma Chao say that he couldn''t challenge Liu Xiu. Instead, he was severely cleaned up by Huang Hu. Now she saw Liu Xiu''s swordsmanship and evaluated it in her heart. If you fight with a sword, I''m afraid the elder brother is not your husband''s opponent.


    It seems that the challenge of that day was not that Liu Xiu was defeated by Ma Chao, but that Liu Xiu didn''t want to fight.


    After Liu Xiuchen''s practice, Ma Yunlu applauded.


    Liu Xiu saw Ma Yunlu, said: "Yunlu up, then ready to wash." Ma Yunlu heard the speech, immediately called to the yard of the attendant, and then let Liu Xiu and Ma Yunlu wash, and then had breakfast.


    For several days in a row, Liu Xiu accompanied Ma Yunlu.


    Or play in the house, or shopping in the county seat of Nanzheng County.


    The relationship between the two has developed rapidly in a short period of time.


    Towards the end of July, the weather was still hot.


    In August, Liu Xiu had been in Nanzheng County for nearly a month.


    On this day, Liu Xiu called the people under his command to discuss the matter.


    In the hall, the guest and host are seated.


    Liu Xiu looked at the people under his command and said in a deep voice: "after a month or so of recuperation, he adjusted the army. The situation in the army, as well as the situation of the people, has almost been sorted out. Both our side and Nanyang County are ready. Now, it''s time to start a war. "


    When people heard the words, they all looked solemn.


    Liu Xiu looked at Ma Chao and said, "Ma Chao, I give you three thousand soldiers, plus one thousand of your own. You take the army from Xiabian county to Wudu County and attack Liangzhou quietly. What you have done is to accumulate strength first, and then suddenly explode the war in Liangzhou. "


    "No!"


    Ma Chao was so excited that he had a look of excitement in his eyes.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on FA Zheng and said, "Fa Zheng!""Yes


    Fazheng stood up with a solemn look in his eyes.


    At the moment, Fazheng''s heart was also quite excited. At the beginning, he chose to leave with Liu Xiu, because at Liu Xiu''s side, there must be war, and he could make continuous achievements.


    If you stay in Yizhou Chengdu, you can only deal with government affairs every day.


    Liu Xiu said, "as Ma Chao''s military adviser, you should give advice for Ma Chao to attack Liangzhou."


    "No!"


    When FA Zheng hears the speech, he looks forward to it.


    Liangzhou has just been under the command of Cao Cao. Now he is going to give suggestions for Ma Chao, which is undoubtedly an opportunity for him to show his talent thoroughly.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes turned and fell on Liao Hua.


    Since Liao Hua was appointed as the governor of Hanzhong, he has been quickly familiar with the government affairs since he arrived in Hanzhong. In a short time, Hanzhong''s government affairs were handled in an orderly way.


    Liu Xiu said: "Liaohua, Hanzhong as the rear. You stay in Hanzhong to ensure the rear safety. For the sake of Hanzhong''s safety, I will give you 10000 people to garrison Nanzheng County. "


    "No!"


    Liao Hua bowed his hand to respond.


    Liu Xiu looked at Wen pin and said, "Wen pin, you will lead the first army and go north to Ziwu road to prepare for Chang''an."


    "No!"


    Wenpin has a strong smile on his face.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, Deng Zhan came in a hurry.


    Deng Zhan came to the hall, bowed his hand to Liu Xiuxing, and said, "Lord, Cao Cao has sent troops from Chang''an. In this war, Cao Cao led a total of more than 70000 troops to Chang''an, and will go south to Hanzhong from Ziwu road. "


    "I see!"


    Liu Xiu nodded, and his eyes showed a clear look.


    The reason why Cao Cao did not attack Hanzhong was that Liangzhou was unstable.


    Now, Cao Cao has finally sent out troops, and it is obvious that Liangzhou has slightly stabilized. What Cao Cao didn''t expect was that Ma Chao had already surrendered to him, and this war was to sneak into Liangzhou and start the war in Liangzhou again.


    Liu Xiu looked at the generals under his command and said, "get ready, let''s go!"


    With an order, Wen pin and Xu Shu left first.


    After Wen pin and Xu Shu left, Liu Xiu, as the commander in chief, also brought Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Zhang song, Huang Hu and Sha Moke to the barracks to mobilize troops.


    This time, Cao Cao was not only the first army of wenpin, but also the army of Huang Hu and others.


    This is the second battle between Liu Xiu and Cao Cao. The army left Nanzheng County in a mighty way, and then went all the way to the northeast, straight to Ziwu road.

 Chapter 590

    Ziwu Road, also known as Ziwu plank road.


    In the Han Dynasty, Ziwu plank road was an important passage from Chang''an to Hanzhong, Bashu and other places in the south. It gets its name because it passes through Ziwu Valley and a section of road from the southbound of Chang''an is heading north-south.


    This place is the gateway of Hanzhong.


    In fact, in addition to Ziwu road going south, there are Chencang Road, Baoxie Road, TangLuo Road, kugu road and Wuguan road from the northern Qinling Mountains to the southwest and surrounding areas.


    In addition to the Meridian Road, all of these checkpoints were more or less conquered.


    Among them, Ziwu road in Ziwu Valley is the only dangerous fortress among the six ancient roads, which has been planned many times but has never been successful. Therefore, it is said that the six Ziwu roads in Qinling Mountains are king.


    After Liu Xiu arrived at Ziwu road with his army, he stationed in Ziwu valley.


    The army camped and waited for Cao''s arrival.


    Barracks, big accounts of the Chinese army.


    Liu Xiu looked at Wen pin and asked, "have all the important roads going south to Hanzhong been garrisoned by soldiers?"


    Wen Pinzhi reported: "it has been arranged. Soldiers have been stationed on every important road."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "OK, just wait for Cao Cao to arrive."


    "Dong! Dong


    All of a sudden, the mighty sound of war drums came from outside the Ziwu valley.


    A soldier came in in a hurry and reported: "my Lord, Cao''s army has been arrayed outside the midnight noon valley."


    Liu Xiu got up and said, "let''s go. We''ll meet Cao Cao for a while."


    After walking out of the camp, Liu xiulai went outside the camp and saw Cao Cao who was leading the troops to kill him. This time, when Cao Cao went south, he brought tens of thousands of troops, with tigers and leopards riding around him. The army was in array, and the flag was flying and the momentum was unparalleled.


    In front of Cao''s army, Cao Cao rode on his horse and looked at Liu Xiu''s army.


    "Drive!"


    As soon as Cao Cao sent out, Xu Chu immediately took the soldiers with him to protect him.


    About fifty steps from Liu Xiu''s camp, Cao Cao stopped.


    Seeing this scene, Liu Xiu also turned over and rode out of the camp. Under the protection of Huang Hu and Fei Hu soldiers, Liu Xiu stopped 15 steps away from Cao Cao.


    Liu Xiu''s expression was solemn and his eyes fell on Cao Cao.


    At this time, Cao Cao was already 55 years old. His temples were white and he looked much older.


    Only that pair of eyes, already sharp as Falcon general.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "prime minister, you have grown old after years of absence."


    Cao Cao said, "Ji Xu, my prime minister is old, but my heart is not old. After years of not seeing you, you are more and more energetic and shining. I just don''t know how long your brilliance can last. This time, I will beat you. "


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s really meaningless to talk."


    As soon as the words changed, Cao Cao said, "Jia Xu, the old man, has obeyed you. Did you ever take part in this war?"


    "Nature is there!"


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    Cao Cao said: "you call people out, the prime minister and he said."


    Liu Xiu said, "no need!"


    In a word, he rejected Cao Cao directly.


    Liu Xiu knew that Cao Cao was cunning. The old fox called Jia Xu out. Who knew what would happen. Therefore, Liu Xiu simply refused Cao Cao''s request.


    Cao Cao said, "Liu Xiu, you are so direct."


    Liu Xiu said, "does the prime minister know my style?"


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Cao Cao laughed and said, "good, good Liu Xiu."


    Liu Xiu said, "thank you for your praise."


    Cao Cao big sleeve a brush, way: "well, that''s a real fight."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "wait for the prime minister to send troops!"


    However, Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "in my opinion, the fighting between the two armies is really a loss of soldiers, causing countless people to die. So the prime minister came up with a solution. Why don''t we have a fight? "


    Liu Xiu said, "prime minister, please say it!"


    Cao Cao said: "let''s fight cavalry, battle array and infantry, and win two games in three games. After the fight, if Benxiang is lucky enough to win, then you LIU Xiu quit Ziwu valley. If the prime minister fails, he will quit the midnight Valley and even give you Chang''an. "


    Liu xiudao: "prime minister, you are over sixty years old. Are you dazed and confused?"


    Cao Cao looked disappointed and said, "is it Ji Xu who dare not?"


    Liu Xiu said: "it seems that the prime minister is not confused, but too clever. First, I occupy the midnight Valley and the geographical advantage. Why should I gamble with you? It''s just a matter of attacking each other''s strong points with one''s own short points. "


    "This kind of gambling is meaningless."


    "Second, you give Chang''an to my official. Hum, if you don''t control Tongguan, Dashan pass and other important checkpoints, and block your continuous reinforcements, even if I occupy Chang''an, it won''t last long. After all, it''s quite inconvenient to transport grain at midnight valley. "With a smile in his eyes, Liu Xiu said, "prime minister, you are really a cunning person like a fox."


    Cao Cao laughed when he heard the speech.


    What a Liu Xiu!


    What a pair of wise eyes!


    Cao Cao''s mind was completely guessed by Liu Xiu.


    Cao Cao was not worried, but continued: "Liu Xiu, since you have seen through the plot of the prime minister. So I''ll be honest. I was just joking with you


    Liu Xiu continued: "I''m afraid the prime minister and I have a deep meaning. The prime minister led his troops to go south from Ziwu road and chose Ziwu Valley, which is the most difficult to conquer. I''m afraid he planned to build a plank road in the open and cross Chencang in the dark, and let the army go south on the rest of the way. "


    Cao Cao eyebrows a pick, way: "season Xu, you think more."


    Liu Xiu said: "it''s not that I think more, but that I have to think more in the face of such a cunning person as the prime minister. However, I can definitely tell the prime minister that if the prime minister wants to go south from xiegu, chencangdao and other places, he should not hope. I stationed soldiers on every road to Hanzhong. "


    Cao Cao''s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in his heart that Liu Xiu had no flaws in his use of troops.


    In fact, when Cao Cao went south to Ziwu Road, the most difficult place to choose was to attract Liu Xiu''s troops and let his soldiers go south in other directions.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu directly broke his plan.


    Cao Cao said with a smile, "Ji Xu is really a little fox, but I really have this plan when I talk about the fight. In the past, Xu Chu was defeated by Huang Hu, and he never forgot. Today, Xu Chu will fight Huang Hu again. "


    "Xu Chu!"


    Cao Cao called, Xu Chu said: "the end will be in!"


    Cao Cao said, "it''s up to you to challenge Huang Hu. I hope you will live up to your expectations."


    "No!"


    Xu Chu grinned and drew out his sword. Facing Huang Hu, he had a aggressive look in his eyes. In the first World War in Jingzhou in the past, Xu Chu was seriously injured by Huang Hu. After he went back, Xu Chu had been working hard to strengthen his strength.


    Today, Xu Chu finally has another chance.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "prime minister, a defeated general, how can you be brave? Xu Chu has been defeated once. Why should he be defeated again? When he was defeated in the last war, Xu Chu still had the heart to make persistent efforts. If you lose this time, I''m afraid there will be no turning back. "


    Xu Chu, holding a long knife in both hands, said, "I can''t lose this battle."


    In words, there is boundless confidence.


    Huang Hu disdains to say: "Xu Chu old son, you are invincible, it''s natural."


    He galloped forward and swung the drum and urn hammer with both hands. His eyes were full of disdain. In Huang Hu''s opinion, a defeated general like Xu Chu is not his opponent at all. No matter how you exercise, it''s useless.


    After hearing this, Xu Chu''s mouth twitched.


    Son of a bitch, he was called Lao er by Huang Hu when he was still young? It''s too much deception.


    Cao Cao said: "Ji Xu, we will wait and see the outcome of this battle."


    "Well, we''ll see." Liu Xiu smiles.


    At the same time, the two men returned to the army, and on the battlefield, only Huang Hu and Xu Chu were left.


    Huang Hu, holding a golden hammer in a drum jar, said, "Xu Chu, I still remember the day when you were chased by soldiers and finally ambushed. Then I met Ben Jiang. Was he beaten to vomit blood? Your shameless challenge today will allow you to challenge. "


    After hearing Huang Hu''s words, Xu Chu was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "Huang Hu, today, I''m going to let you die here."


    The boundless intention of killing came from Chu''s mouth.

 Chapter 591

    Xu Chu hated Huang Hu to the bone.


    Xu Chu was a first-class general in the north. He was invincible and never met his opponent. Once upon a time, Xu Chu sighed that he did not fight with Lu Bu, otherwise he might be the best in the world.


    I didn''t expect to meet Huang Hu and was seriously injured.


    This time, Xu Chu will fight Huang Hu again.


    "Kill


    Xu Chu roared and killed him.


    The long sword swung up in the air and chopped down, just like a mountain pressing down the top, revealing endless sharp breath. His blade is sharp and majestic. It seems that he is going to make a breakthrough.


    Huang Hu''s face was calm. He straddled his horse and swung the golden hammer with both hands.


    The hammer swung up and went straight to the falling knife.


    "Dang!"


    There was a crash and sparks were flying.


    The majestic force burst out from the place of impact.


    "Kick! Kick


    Huang Hu retreated two steps, then stabilized himself. However, Xu Chu snorted. His hand holding the long sword trembled slightly. His horse stepped back five steps in succession to stabilize his figure.


    The gap between the two sides is still quite large.


    "Damn it


    Xu Chu cursed secretly. He practiced hard for several years just for revenge.


    I didn''t expect to lose today.


    This scene, fell in Liu Xiu''s eyes, Liu Xiu face with a smile. For the moment, Zhang Fei is dead and Guan Yu is killed. In the world, there is really no general who can compete with Huang Hu.


    "The general is mighty!"


    All of a sudden, a soldier in the flying tiger camp cried out.


    "The general is mighty!"


    "The general is mighty!"


    Then the soldiers of the flying tiger camp called out.


    After a while, the rest of the soldiers followed suit.


    The sound of rushing to the sky is exciting and reverberating in the midnight valley. The voice is even higher, spread to the ears of Cao Cao''s soldiers, but also a great blow to the morale of Cao Cao''s soldiers.


    Cao Cao''s eyes were cold.


    Unexpectedly, Xu Chu was still defeated.


    However, Cao Cao had been prepared for a long time. He looked at the arrogant yellow tiger on the battlefield and the general Xia Houyuan around him, and said, "seccai, it''s up to you now. Shoot Huang Hu for me. If he doesn''t die, it''s hard for me. "


    This challenge, in fact, was premeditated by Cao Cao.


    In the name of Xu Chu''s challenge, Xia Houyuan took the opportunity to shoot Huang Hu.


    Especially this time, Cao Cao led the troops in the array, which was a hundred steps away from Liu Xiu. On the battlefield, Huang Hu is only 60 or 70 steps away from Cao Cao''s army, which is the shooting range of Xia Houyuan''s swordsmanship.


    In terms of archery, Xia Houyuan, under the command of Cao Cao, is also ranked on the top.


    There is a great chance for archery by Xia Houyuan.


    Xia Houyuan said: "the prime minister can rest assured that this time, Huang Hu will die here."


    For Huang Hu, Xia Houyuan is very afraid.


    Liu Shahu''s soldiers will win again and again in some degree. Without Huang Hu, Liu Xiu''s soldiers could not have gained such an advantage on the battlefield.


    Xia Houyuan hiding in the soldiers, but took out the iron tire bow, and then bows and arrows, aiming at the battle of Huang Hu and Xu Chu.


    At this time, the two are still fighting.


    The only difference is that Huang Hu''s constant attack made Xu Chu lose.


    After all, Xu Chu was still defeated by Huang Hu.


    After fighting for a moment, Xu Chu''s hand holding the long sword was already split, showing blood.


    However, Xu Chu still insisted.


    Before the bow and arrow had been shot, Xu Chu could not withdraw. He must give XiaHouYuan a chance to shoot Huanghu and win this time.


    Cao Cao''s heart is dripping blood in his eyes.


    Xu Chu is his favorite general, but now he has been hit hard, and he is very worried.


    Cao Cao took a look at XiaHouYuan and saw that XiaHouYuan didn''t shoot arrows. He was even more anxious. But Cao Cao also knew a little about martial arts. He knew that Xia Houyuan had only one shot, so he had to seize the opportunity.


    As a matter of fact, Xia Houyuan was also very worried when he saw that Xu Chu had been defeated and suffered heavy losses.


    However, he never found a chance.


    Without the opportunity, he could not shoot at will, otherwise it would be a waste of Xu Chu''s efforts today.


    Suddenly, Xia Houyuan''s eyes brightened.


    At this time, Huang Hu was driving his horse slowly to Xu Chu, and the empty door was wide open, just facing him in the chest. XiaHouYuan no longer hesitated, suddenly pulled the bow string to let go.


    "Hum!"


    The bowstring vibrated, and a feather arrow came out of the bowstring.


    "Whew!"


    All of a sudden, the sharp and cold howling sound sounded. In an instant, the bow and arrow had already hit Huang Hu''s chest."Puchi!"


    The bow and arrow shot into Huang Hu''s chest. In a flash, Huang Hu''s eyes were wide open. The golden hammer of the drum jar in his hand fell to the ground, and then he reached out to cover the arrow''s chest. He turned the horse''s head almost like lightning, and then rushed back on the horse''s back.


    Xu Chu saw Huang Hu retreating, his eyes were happy, and then quickly withdrew.


    Liu Xiu saw this scene, angry roared: "Cao Cao, you damn it!" Liu Xiu never thought that Cao Cao would cheat him and chose to assassinate Huang Hu at this time.


    Liu Xiu quickly sent the soldiers of the flying tiger camp forward. Just as the yellow tiger''s horse approached the battle line, Huang Hu''s body had already roared from the horse to the end, and rolled twice on the ground without any movement.


    This scene was not only seen by Liu Xiu, but also by Cao Cao and others.


    Cao Cao was very happy to see this scene.


    Dead!


    Looking at this, Huang Hu should be dead.


    Liu Xiu was worried about Huang Hu''s injury. He asked the soldiers to carry him back. Then he took back the two golden hammers from the drum jar. He immediately stopped his troops and stationed at the mouth of Ziwu valley.


    Cao Cao had to wait for the news to ferment, so he also chose to withdraw and did not launch an attack immediately.


    Liu Xiu took Huang Hu to the camp. On the way, he suddenly opened his eyes, blinked at him and closed them again.


    Seeing this scene, Liu Xiu''s heart suddenly dropped.


    This kid!


    Play dead!


    Huang Hu pretended to be dead!


    Liu Xiu did not expect that Huang Hu was pretending. He just saw the moment when the yellow tiger fell down, his heart seemed to be cut by a knife, and his mood was extremely low. Unexpectedly, Huang Hu pretended.


    A heart hanging in mid air, also immediately landed.


    Back in the barracks, Huang Hu was placed in the barracks, Liu Xiu let all the soldiers back down.


    At this time, Wen pin, Pang Tong and Jia Xu also came in.


    Liu Xiu asked: "tiger, how is the injury?"


    Huang Hu opened his eyes and said, "I''ve got lock armour inside. My bow and arrow pierced into the armour. It''s just skin injury. There''s no big problem."


    As soon as he spoke, Wen pin, Pang Tong and others were all relieved.


    As the first military general in the army, Huang Hu is of great importance.


    With these words, Huang Hu pulled out his bow and arrow and took off his coat and armor. Everyone saw that the tip of the arrow just penetrated into the skin half an inch, leaving a little wound.


    Liu xiuxiao said: "you boy, scared us to death."


    Huang Hu Han Han smiles and says: "Lord, when he was shot by a bow and arrow, he thought of Chen Dao''s pretending to fall to the ground and luring him to attack. So this time in the arrow, simply will. I just don''t know if it works


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "it seems that our tiger is enlightened and knows how to use tactics."


    Wenpin said with a smile: "Huzi will do everything. It''s really good."


    Pang Tong had a thoughtful look on his face, and said: "since General Huang has made a plan, then the next thing that General Huang Hu was killed can be used. But how can we make use of it? "


    Jia Xu said: "how to use it can be considered slowly, but the news that Huzi was shot has to be spread out to let Cao Cao know. Then we can plan further. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "that''s the truth. Now the tiger is not only a card in our hands, but also a cavalry. We have made good use of the tiger. In this war, Cao Cao will be defeated. "


    Jia Xu said: "Cao Cao has a large army in Chang''an, and even the Cao army in Guandong can support him at any time. Therefore, it is unrealistic for us to capture Chang''an, so the focus of this war is to destroy Cao Cao''s army and damage Cao Cao''s forces, just like the first battle of Nanyang County. "


    Liu Xiu said, "Mr. Jia has a point."


    All of you look at me, and I make use of Huang Hu''s chance to pretend to be dead, and make a plan to deal with Cao Cao.

 Chapter 592

    Cao Jun, camp.


    Chinese army big account!


    Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu solemnly and said, "Zhong Kang, you were closest to Huang Hu at that time. Did you see clearly? Did the bow and arrow hit Huang Hu''s heart?"


    Cao Cao saw Huang Hu''s story with his own eyes, but he still doubted it.


    What if Huang Hu feigned death?


    Cao Cao was suspicious. He didn''t see the final result, so he was suspicious.


    Xu Chu nodded solemnly and said: "prime minister, I will see with my own eyes that the bow and arrow hit Huang Hu''s heart. That arrow was a success indeed. In particular, Huang Hu released the golden hammer of the drum jar at that time, which shows that Huang Hu really hit the arrow. "


    Xia Houyuan also confidently said: "prime minister, the situation at that time must have hit the target. It is impossible for this arrow to fail. "


    For his archery, Xia Houyuan is very confident.


    Xia Houyuan believed that he shot the yellow tiger.


    Li Dian sat on one side and said, "prime minister, I also saw the bow and arrow of seconds. The situation at that time did not allow Huang Hu to react. There is no doubt that he will die with this arrow. "


    "Good!"


    Cao Cao laughed with a bright smile on his face.


    Cao Cao said, "Huang Hu is a man of boundless strength, and no one can defeat him. On the battlefield, there are no rivals at all. Once there is him in the battle, it''s just like a tiger adding wings. It''s impossible to resist. Now that Huang Hu is dead, Liu Xiu has lost one of his generals. In terms of battlefield charge, Liu Xiu can no longer be arrogant. "


    Xia Houyuan arched his hand and said, "Congratulations, Prime Minister."


    Xun you said: "prime minister, if Huang Hu is really dead, I''m afraid Liu Xiu will attack madly. So write it down, we have to arrange defense


    Xun you also agreed to shoot Huang Hu.


    He killed Huang Hu and solved a big enemy.


    Cao Cao nodded and said, "Gongda is right!"


    Cheng Yu stroked his beard and said, "Liu xiusha must have done his best. Under such circumstances, it is absolutely not cost-effective to fight with Liu Xiu. Whether we should retreat temporarily and avoid the attack. "


    Cao Cao shook his head and said, "without Huang Hu, why should I be afraid of Liu Xiu? What''s more, the prime minister is on the defensive side, and Liu Xiu is on the offensive side. Why are we afraid of him attacking? "


    When they heard the speech, they all nodded.


    Cao Cao said, "go down and make arrangements and get ready to fight."


    "Yes


    When they heard the words, they all stepped down.


    But Xun you did not step down. He looked at Cao Cao and said, "prime minister, is it appropriate for Liu Xiu to attack us by sticking to the camp? The role of our army is to hold down Liu Xiu''s army and give the rest of them a chance to break through Chencang, xiegu and other places and enter Hanzhong. It''s not worth fighting with Liu Xiu here. "


    Before, in front of the generals, Xun you didn''t persuade them.


    At this time, only Cao Cao and Xun you put forward their own ideas.


    Cao Cao just killed Huang Hu. He was full of spirit and said with a smile, "don''t worry, it''s OK. Even if Liu Xiu comes to attack, it is impossible to set off a big wave. You think, it''s hard to place heavy weapons like catapults in places like Ziwu valley. It can only be attacked by soldiers. In particular, the narrow terrain of Ziwu Valley made it difficult for Liu Xiu to transport his weapons. It''s very difficult for Liu Xiu to attack us stationed outside Ziwu valley. It''s self humiliating. "


    A trace of self satisfaction came from Cao Cao''s face.


    In the past, Liu xiuchu came to Xuchang.


    Liu Wenxiu and Liu Wenxiu were the most famous poets.


    The second time, for the birthday of the emperor. Liu Xiu actually took out the tai''a sword of the first emperor, which eclipsed all the gifts given to the son of heaven, and Cao Cao had no face.


    The third time, Cao Cao and Liu Xiu fought in Nanyang County. Cao Cao''s 200000 troops were defeated and fled back.


    Now Cao Cao and Liu Xiu fight, and finally beat Liu Xiu once.


    How can Cao Cao not be happy with such a thing.


    When Xun you saw that Cao Cao had made a decision, he stopped persuading him, bowed his hands and bowed to him, then withdrew from the camp. But in Xun you''s heart, I don''t know why, there was always a touch of worry.


    Cao Cao sat in the camp, but he was full of expectation, waiting for Liu Xiu to attack the camp.


    ¡­¡­


    Liu Xiu''s camp, military camp.


    Liu Xiu called all the soldiers together. The soldiers in the army were standing in the midnight noon valley. Because of the terrain, the soldiers had to be crowded.


    Liu Xiu stood on a high ground, looking at all the soldiers.


    This time, Liu Xiu should mobilize the soldiers to boost their morale.


    With the opportunity of Huang Hu''s feigning death, we can inspire the morale of all the soldiers, and then with this force, we can attack Cao Cao and let Cao Cao withdraw from the midnight noon Valley and retreat to the rear of the midnight noon road.


    Liu Xiu looked at countless soldiers and said in a loud voice: "soldiers, today, we are at war with Cao Cao.""During the war, Xu Chu, a general under Cao Cao, came to fight."


    "When Xu Chu fought against Huang Hu, Huang Hu had two golden hammers in his hand, which beat Xu Chu to defeat and made him unable to resist."


    Liu Xiu''s face showed an angry look and roared: "but at this time, Cao Cao, an old thief, even let someone shoot a hidden arrow, so that General Huang Hu was hurt by the arrow, and his life and death are still uncertain."


    "Cao Cao is so mean, such a villain''s behavior, it''s just damned."


    "At the moment, Cao Cao must be laughing in the camp. He must be proud and finally let the yellow tiger fall down. "


    "But there is more than one yellow tiger under my command. Everyone is a yellow tiger. Everyone is a brave man who is high spirited and not afraid of death, and can make the thief of Cao cold. "


    Liu Xiu incited the soldiers to indignation.


    Liu Xiu continued: "you are soldiers under my command. Would you like to see Cao Cao so arrogant? Would you like to see Cao Cao continue to be at large after he has released his secret arrow? "


    "No!"


    In the crowd, wenpin spoke loudly.


    "No!"


    "No!"


    Countless soldiers competed with each other, and their voices were filled with anger.


    Stabbing people in the back, that''s a villain''s way.


    Liu Xiu looked at the emotion of countless soldiers and the voice of countless soldiers shouting, very satisfied with the soldiers'' answer. He raised his hand and pressed it down to signal the soldiers to be quiet.


    A moment later, countless soldiers were quiet again.


    Liu xiulang said: "there is no way for Cao thief. You can kill Cao thief with me."


    "Yes!"


    Wen pin and other military generals began to answer one after another.


    Countless soldiers responded.


    Liu Xiu roared: "kill Cao thief!"


    "Kill the thief Cao!"


    The rest of the soldiers also spoke one after another.


    The voice of soldiers'' shouts resounded in the middle of the midnight noon Valley, and the voice soared to the sky, even in Cao Cao''s camp outside the midnight noon valley.


    Liu Xiu encouraged the morale and ordered: "wenpin, send an order to set out."


    "No!"


    Wenpin immediately took over the command of the soldiers and ordered them to fight.


    Batch after batch of soldiers kept rushing out.


    When Liu Xiu took action, in Cao Cao''s camp, when Cao Cao heard the cry of killing coming from midnight noon Valley, he knew that Liu Xiu must have led the soldiers to kill him. Liu Xiu''s deployment of troops made the news that Huang Hu was killed more real. At this point, Cao Cao''s doubts were completely dispelled, and he no longer worried about Huang Hu''s deceiving death.


    Cao Cao got out of the camp, and then ordered Xia Houyuan to gather the soldiers. The soldiers in the camp quickly gathered, and outside the camp, defensive fortifications such as resisting horses were also laid.


    The whole Cao army camp has entered a state of war preparation.


    Cao Cao, wearing armor and sword, stood at the gate of the camp waiting.


    "Dong! Dong! "


    Time is not long, the front suddenly came the battle drum. Not long ago, Cao Cao led his troops to fight against drums. Now, it was Liu Xiu who led the troops again. Instead, Liu Xiu beat the drums to fight.


    With the powerful sound of war drums, Jingzhou army is getting closer and closer to Cao army camp.


    Soon, Liu Xiu''s troops lined up outside the camp.


    Instead of being in the central army, Liu Xiu went to the front of the battle in person. He looked at Cao Cao''s camp with a gleam in his eyes. Cao Cao thought that the camp was solid. This time, he wanted to let Cao Cao taste the taste of failure again.

 Chapter 593

    After a short time, Liu Xiu led his troops outside the barracks.


    After the army arrayed, Liu Xiu looked at Cao Cao''s camp without any words. He looked at Wen pin and said, "Wen pin, this battle is under your full command. Cao Cao thinks that the camp is an iron bastard, so he will break it for me directly. "


    "Yes


    When Wen was appointed, he stepped forward.


    "Catapult, get ready!"


    When Wen pin gave the order, he saw the flag swaying in the air, the soldiers retreated, and the catapults quickly came forward to complete the assembly, and then lined up in front of the army.


    "Attack


    Wen pin ordered again.


    Army flag waving, see a catapult quickly loading rocks, and then launched an attack.


    Every catapult uses at least 150 Jin of big stones, even 300 Jin of a big stone. Under the operation of the catapult, the big stone roared in the air and went straight to Cao Cao''s camp.


    "Boom!"


    A big stone fell and hit the ground hard.


    In a flash, the ground was shaken and a big pit appeared.


    "Boom! Boom! Boom


    The crashing sound is like a tsunami.


    Large stones fell at the gate of Cao Cao''s camp. This wave of offensive destroyed all the fortifications arranged in Cao Cao''s camp and could no longer pose any threat.


    Cao Cao stood in the camp, looking at the scene at the gate of the camp, frowning tightly.


    Liu Xiu is as sharp as ever!


    Cao Cao''s expression was solemn, but he did not send troops. He still led his soldiers to stay in the camp.


    For this war, Cao Cao also made sufficient preparations. Especially after plotting against Huang Hu, Cao Cao expected that Liu Xiuhui would lead his troops to attack, which was also expected.


    Round by round, big stones fell, and the defensive offensive at the gate of the camp was completely destroyed.


    Seeing this, Wen pin ordered: "beat the drum, start attacking!"


    "Dong! Dong


    One after another, the sound of war drums rushed into the sky.


    "Kill


    With a shout, the soldiers in the army rushed out directly.


    Countless Jingzhou soldiers launched an attack.


    The soldiers rushed to Cao Cao''s camp, and Cao Cao immediately commanded the soldiers to resist. The two sides fought head-on, and the war went into a white hot struggle.


    As the war continued, Liu Xiu did not withdraw his troops, and Cao Cao did not show a decadent situation.


    The two armies fought each other, and each did not admit defeat.


    The fighting lasted two hours, and it continued.


    The battlefield was filled with a strong smell of blood. A corpse fell on the ground, which was already a river of blood. Rao Shi has been fighting for such a long time, but he is still worried.


    Cao Cao looked in his eyes, and there was a glimmer of joy in his eyes.


    Liu Xiu lost his mind and stormed. This is what he expected.


    All this is the right development.


    Xun you came to Cao Cao and said, "prime minister, after fighting for such a long time, more than 2000 soldiers have died. Whether it is us or Liu Xiu, the soldiers under his command have suffered heavy losses and can withdraw. "


    Cao Cao shook his head and said, "don''t worry, wait a second. If we want to defeat Liu Xiu and make him fall in the trap, we must make Liu Xiu believe that we are invincible. Otherwise, Liu Xiu will not be fooled. "


    Xun you looked at the battlefield inside and outside the camp and frowned.


    In this war, both inside and outside the camp were the battlefields, and the fighting between the two sides was too fierce.


    Piles of corpses, countless soldiers died in this war.


    Liu Xiu was also concerned about the war. He saw countless soldiers fall down, and a trace of intolerance passed in his eyes. But if we want to defeat Cao Cao, we have no choice but to continue fighting.


    It''s worth putting in more soldiers to defeat Cao Cao.


    Liu Xiu went directly to the bottom of the drum, picked up the drumstick, and beat the drum himself.


    "Dong! Dong


    The drumsticks beat on the drums, rumbling.


    The rest of the drummers were greatly encouraged to see Liu Xiu come in person and beat the drums with all their strength.


    "Dong! Dong


    The drumsticks hit the drum surface and burst out a magnificent voice.


    The voice, passionate and heroic.


    Countless Jingzhou soldiers heard the drum, constantly attacking, constantly fighting, whistling to kill Cao soldiers. On the battlefield, the cry of killing was so loud that the whole Cao camp was covered with blood.


    Cao Cao stared at the battlefield and saw that his soldiers were beginning to retreat, with a sense of loss on his face. I didn''t expect to fight head on, but my soldiers still fell behind.


    In a flash, Cao Cao recovered.


    Cao Cao''s eyes are full of fighting spirit, and his tactics are more than that.


    This war has just begun.


    "Withdraw, withdraw at once!"


    Without any hesitation, Cao Cao gave the order to retreat.As soon as he turned around, Cao Cao left.


    After Cao Cao left, the flag belonging to Cao Cao also left immediately, and the sound of "call the golden army back" sounded in the camp. All the Cao soldiers who were fighting began to retreat quickly and left the battlefield one after another.


    With the withdrawal of the army, Liu Xiu''s soldiers also retreated rapidly.


    Wenpin led the vanguard to pursue, and Liu Xiu led the rear of the army and followed closely.


    Pang Tong followed Liu Xiu and said with a smile, "my Lord, the plan is successful, and Cao Cao has withdrawn. Next, it depends on what Cao Cao does. "


    Liu Xiu said: "Cao Cao is plotting against Hu Zi. This time, we will settle with him."


    The army continued to pursue. When the army got out of the midnight Valley and left the midnight Road, it was already a smooth road to Chang''an. Cao Cao retreated on the official road, while Wen pin led his army to catch up.


    One side is retreating, the other is chasing.


    Cao Cao did not stop, and Wen pin did not plan to stop.


    When wenpin was chasing, Liu Xiu''s cavalry disappeared quietly.


    ¡­¡­


    Into the night!


    Cao Cao''s army stopped to rest.


    By a bonfire!


    Cao Cao, Xun you, Cheng Yu and others gathered here.


    Cao Cao said: "after killing Huang Hu, Liu Xiu was really angry and aggressive, completely lost his mind. When Liu Xiu comes out of Ziwu Valley and reaches Chang''an, he will surely be defeated. "


    Xun you said, "prime minister, you have to be prepared. If you don''t succeed, you have to have another plan. "


    Cao Cao said with a smile: "it''s no harm to give Chang''an to Liu Xiu at most. But he has occupied Chang''an, and the grain supply is unstable. How can he occupy Chang''an for a long time? As long as Liu builds the meridian path, he will have lost the battle. "


    Cheng Yu stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "my Lord is right."


    Cao Cao asked, "what''s the news about Nanyang County?"


    Cheng Yu said: "Cao Ren of Nanyang County is attacking, but Zhang Ren and Wei Yan are garrisoned. They are defending themselves. Even though Cao Ren attacked, they didn''t make any achievements."


    "Waste!"


    After hearing this, Cao Cao could not help but scold.


    Since Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao, Nanyang County was under Cao Cao''s control.


    Today, Cao Ren has been in charge of Nanyang County for 11 years. For more than 10 years, Cao Ren has not been able to manage Nanyang County well and make a breakthrough. Cao Cao is also angry.


    If Cao Cao wins, Nanyang County will lose.


    However, now Cao Cao and Liu Xiu are deadlocked, and the war has just begun. Cao Cao can''t help but get angry when he hears the news.


    Cheng Yu said: "prime minister, Nanyang County is backed by Xiangyang. With the support of Xiangyang''s grain and soldiers, it has long been well run. It is normal for such places to be difficult to conquer for a while. Moreover, Zhang Ren is not the one who is easy to be with. When Cao Ren attacked Xinye County, he didn''t take it down even for a few days. Zhang Ren, in terms of defense, has a good set of skills


    Cao Cao nodded and said, "just as long as Cao Ren is invincible. As long as we beat Liu Xiu all the way, then take advantage of the situation to cover up and fight in Hanzhong. After seizing Hanzhong, we can take Yizhou. It''s just around the corner. "


    Xun you said, "the prime minister is wise!"


    Cao Cao suddenly said: "in Liangzhou, we should also strengthen our guard. Be careful that Liu Xiu sends troops to the area."


    Xun you said: "Liangzhou has arranged for soldiers to be stationed. Liu Xiu can''t succeed without a large number of soldiers."


    Cao Cao nodded slightly and said, "let''s all go down and have a rest. We''ll leave early tomorrow morning."


    "Yes


    And when they heard this, they withdrew from each other.

 Chapter 594

    Early the next morning, Cao Cao''s army set out and continued to flee to Chang''an city.


    Cao Cao''s withdrawal speed was neither fast nor slow. He kept a certain distance from the Jingzhou army pursued by the rear, so that the Jingzhou army was always close to catching up, but it could not catch up.


    So the two sides saw each other, making the battlefield gradually shift.


    In the middle of the day, the sun is getting hotter and hotter.


    At this time, it is close to Chang''an.


    In front of the battlefield, an open, is a wide field.


    Cao Cao looked at Xia Houyuan and asked, "how far is Liu Xiu from us?"


    XiaHouYuan said: "less than five miles."


    "Stop


    Cao Cao nodded and gave the order to stop.


    The army stopped, and Cao Cao stayed where he was waiting.


    It wasn''t long. On the official road in the rear, the banners rolled up, the smoke was huge, and the black soldiers swept in. This army is the vanguard led by Wen pin.


    "Kill


    Wen pin saw the army in front of him, and he directly ordered to fight.


    The army went up to cover up and soon met Cao Cao''s soldiers.


    The two armies fought and fought again.


    On the battlefield, cries of killing came one after another.


    Countless soldiers sprint, constantly want to break through the enemy''s line of defense, kill the enemy.


    Cao Cao was in the middle army, watching the fighting continue.


    At this time, Liu Xiu''s follow-up army did not appear and still did not arrive. With a smile in his mouth, Cao Cao said, "this battle is the beginning of Liu Xiu''s defeat."


    Cao Cao appreciated Liu Xiu, but he was more afraid, angry and resentful.


    Because of Liu Xiu, he was blocked in the north.


    Without Liu Xiu, Cao Cao would have swept the South and ruled the country.


    Cao Cao raised his hand and chopped it in the air. He ordered: "send an order to Xu Chu and lead the tigers and leopards to attack."


    "Dong! Dong! Dong! "


    The rhythm of the drums reverberates rapidly on the battlefield.


    This voice instantly over the soldiers fighting sound, after the ups and downs of the war drum sound, a moment later, came the sound of horse''s hooves. When a horse''s hooves trample on the ground, it is the impact of iron hooves, which makes the ground vibrate.


    On the left and right wings of the battlefield, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and horses neighed.


    Three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry led by Xu Chu appeared, with 1500 soldiers on the left and one on the right.


    When tigers and leopards come to kill, there is only the sound of horses trampling on the ground.


    All the people were silent, just galloping forward quickly.


    Just like this, it is even more boring. It''s as if the city is under the pressure of black clouds, as if the wind and rain are about to come. The whole battlefield is shrouded by the pressure of war horses, and I feel depressed.


    A hundred feet!


    Fifty feet!


    Thirty feet!


    ¡­¡­


    Tigers and leopards are getting closer and closer to the battlefield.


    When the distance narrowed to 15 Zhang, Xu Chu suddenly yelled: "kill!"


    "Kill


    Tiger and leopard riding soldiers all raised their swords in their hands and yelled loudly.


    The voice is powerful and magnificent, just like a knife of thunder and lightning, flying into the sky and exploding the heaven and earth, making the whole heaven and earth suddenly silent, leaving only this powerful and sharp cry.


    "Da! Dada


    The sound of the horse''s hooves is constantly echoing.


    A moment later, tiger and leopard riders had already entered the battlefield.


    As soon as the army entered the battlefield, the sword was raised in its hand, and then it was cut down rapidly. Knife light, blood splashing, a body directly fell to the ground.


    Wenpin''s vanguard met 3000 tigers and leopards, and was defeated in an instant.


    "Hold on, our reinforcements are coming. Hold on!"


    Wenpin roared and gave the order to fight.


    Countless soldiers shout, countless soldiers fight, to resist the attack from tiger and leopard riding.


    As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer soldiers around wenpin.


    Wenpin himself was also injured and stained with blood. But he still insisted. He knew that Liu Xiu''s army was coming, and he would hold on.


    Holding a gun, wenpin kept on fighting forward.


    All the way forward, there were fewer and fewer soldiers under his command.


    When Cao Cao was in the middle army, he saw more and more dead and wounded soldiers, and his face became dignified. He couldn''t help but praise: "what a Jingzhou army, it''s worthy of elite. In front of tiger and leopard riding, they can resist this, which is called elite. "


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier ran back quickly.


    Soldiers came to Cao Cao and reported: "prime minister, Liu Xiu''s army has arrived."


    "Good!"


    Cao Cao waves his hand and smiles. On the verge of annihilating Liu Xiu''s vanguard army, Liu Xiu''s army arrived. Hum, it''s too late. In this war, Liu Xiu will surely lose.Cao Cao ordered: "XiahouDun, listen to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Charlotte Houghton stood up, sharp eyed. Although he was blind in one eye, his martial arts were not affected at all, and even improved.


    Cao Cao said: "mobilize cavalry, ready to meet Liu Xiu."


    In Ziwu Valley, Cao Cao''s cavalry could not move and play a role. But in the plain area outside Chang''an City, such a wide area, his cavalry will burst out with unparalleled strength.


    Said XiahouDun, "I will obey you!"


    Immediately, Houghton went to mobilize the army.


    At this time, the drum suddenly came from the sky.


    "Kill


    "Kill


    The endless cry of killing, from far to near.


    Wen pin heard this voice, his spirit was greatly boosted, and he roared: "brothers, our reinforcements are here. Kill, kill


    When the rest of the soldiers heard this, their morale was also greatly boosted.


    Originally, wenpin''s vanguard army became a lone army, but when they heard the sound of war drums, they all knew that their army''s reinforcements were coming, so they were excited.


    One by one soldiers, constantly waving steel knives, oppressing the enemy soldiers.


    Although attacked by hubaoqi, wenpin''s soldiers still tried their best to resist.


    In a short time, the army led by Liu Xiu has appeared.


    The army went up and drove directly towards the formation of tigers and leopards. Although tiger and leopard riding is sharp, it is not easy to please 3000 tiger and leopard riding in the face of a pair of long gun formation.


    The soldiers of the long spear formation rushed up and saw that the soldiers of the long spear formation either attacked in a conical formation, resisted in a circular formation, or pushed forward directly.


    Although Xu Chu''s 3000 tiger and leopard riders were elite, they didn''t get cheap.


    "Da! Dada


    At the same time, a large number of cavalry appeared again on the battlefield.


    The number of cavalry in this group is about 6000.


    Compared with the soldiers on tiger and leopard riding, who wear armor and are well-equipped, the 6000 soldiers have checked a lot. They only have simple chest protection and steel knives in their hands, and then they start to rush into the battlefield.


    The head of the group was harhoughton.


    This army is Cao Cao''s mace.


    Cavalry cover up, enough to defeat Liu Xiu''s infantry camp, Liu Xiu decadent. As long as Liu Xiu is defeated, the cavalry will cover him up and Liu Xiu will be defeated like a mountain.


    Cao Cao looked at XiahouDun''s cavalry, and his mouth was filled with a smile.


    He will win the battle.


    As time went by, the cavalry was on the battlefield, and Liu Xiu''s soldiers kept resisting. At first, the situation was anxious, but gradually, the cavalry began to have some advantages.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on the battlefield and examined the development of the situation on the battlefield.


    Cao Cao sent tiger and leopard cavalry, and sent 6000 cavalry. Then, Cao Cao should send infantry to make the final attack.


    In this battle, Cao Cao''s card is clear.


    Sure enough, after the cavalry took the lead, Cao Cao gave the final order, and his troops swarmed up and went directly to Liu Xiu''s soldiers.


    Liu Xiu''s mouth was full of a smile, and Cao Cao finally fell into the trap.


    From the beginning, Liu Xiu, Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Xu Shu and others predicted that Cao Cao might withdraw his troops and then pull the battlefield to the plain.


    Sure enough, Cao Cao did.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were sharp, and he ordered: "beat the drum, order Huang Hu and shamoko to attack from both wings, and go straight to the rear of Cao Cao."


    "Yes


    The soldiers were ordered to go on immediately.


    "Dong! Dong


    One after another, the war drums sound, which has a special rhythm, high and low, constantly reverberating on the battlefield. After the sound of war drums reverberated, suddenly a group of cavalry came out on the right side of the battlefield.


    There were only 1500 cavalry in this group.


    The first one, a group of black wuzhui horses in his crotch, each with a golden hammer in his hand.


    The leader is Huang Hu. Behind the yellow tiger, a soldier carries a flag in his hand. Above the flag, a black yellow character flutters in the wind, hunting.

 Chapter 595

    Huang Hu led 1500 white horse cavalry, like a flash of lightning, appeared on the battlefield.


    "Cao Cao, the yellow tiger is coming!"


    The golden hammer of the drum jar in Huang Hu''s hand was raised and he tried his best to roar.


    The soldiers carrying the flag swayed and swayed in the air.


    In an instant, all the soldiers screamed together.


    "Cao Cao, the yellow tiger is coming!"


    "Cao Cao, the yellow tiger is coming!"


    Like the sound of thunder, resounding through the battlefield.


    The appearance of the yellow tiger is like a calm water surface, suddenly broken by a big stone.


    Under the banner of Cao Cao, Cao Cao heard the voice of Huang Hu, his face changed suddenly, and his eyes were shocked. Here comes the yellow tiger? How is this possible? Isn''t Huang Hu dead?


    Cao Cao''s eyes fell on the yellow tiger''s flag.


    Eyes, showing a strong fear.


    "Cao Cao, shamoko is here!"


    All of a sudden, the powerful cry came out from the left wing of the battlefield.


    The horse''s hooves thundered, and the soldiers roared in unison. A big black flag floats with the wind, on which is embroidered a black sand character. Shamoko, holding the flower of Tribulus terrestris, spurs his horse to charge quickly.


    Behind shamoko, 1500 soldiers spurred.


    The horses neigh and the soldiers shout.


    Its momentum, as if rushing through.


    Its murderous Qi makes people feel cold.


    Cao Cao saw the shamoko army killed from the left wing, and his eyes showed a sense of helplessness.


    Ambush!


    Liu Xiu even prepared an ambush.


    Two cavalry, three thousand in all.


    Although the number of ambush soldiers was not large, they were all the same cavalry, and most importantly, Huang Hu was still alive. Huang Hu came with a drum jar and a golden hammer.


    When Liu Xiu was in the army, he saw Huang Hu and shamoko come out and went straight into Cao Cao''s defense, and his face showed a smile.


    The decisive battle of this war has finally begun.


    Cao Cao will be defeated!


    Liu Xiu looks forward to Cao Cao''s failure, which will open the prelude of Cao Cao''s exit from Guanzhong.


    At this time, Cao Cao was still calm.


    Faced with the killing of Huang Hu and shamoko, he was not afraid.


    Cheng Yu is worried in the eyes, said: "Lord, yellow tiger is coming, quickly retreat into the army to avoid."


    The bravery of Huang Hu is well known in the world.


    Today''s yellow tiger is just like Lu Bu in the past. Cao Cao shook his head, he did not move, but issued an order to attack, let all the pro guards around to fight, directly to meet up.


    Cao Zhang said: "father, son is willing to lead the army against the yellow tiger."


    Cao Cao said, "no, you''re not Huang Hu''s opponent."


    Cao Zhang said: "my father, my son has been struggling all these years. The son asked himself that his strength was not inferior to that of General Xu Chu. Even in the face of Huang Hu, he had the power to protect himself. Now that the yellow tiger is coming, we have to stop it. As long as Huang Hu is blocked, his cavalry will lose combat effectiveness. We will not lose this war. "


    Cao Cao looked at Cao Zhang and saw a stubborn face.


    "All right, be careful. If you lose the enemy, retreat immediately."


    After all, Cao Cao nodded and agreed.


    Cao Zhang was overjoyed and immediately turned over to mount the horse and rushed out with a big gun.


    The rest of the guards followed.


    The army charged quickly and rushed to the right wing of the battlefield.


    The cavalry of Cao Zhang and Huang did not meet for a long time. Cao Zheng put out his big gun and roared: "yellow tiger, take your life!"


    The big gun hit the top and went straight down.


    The gun is like a stick, carrying the unparalleled potential.


    A shot, is already coerced all the strength of Cao Zhang, vowed to shoot to kill Huang Hu.


    "Yellow mouthed children are beyond their capacity."


    The golden hammer of the drum jar in Huang Hu''s hand swung, and the left hammer smashed directly.


    "Dang!"


    The sledgehammer hit the gun with a piercing sound. Huang Hu was not affected at all. On the contrary, it was Cao Zhang. His hand holding the gun was shaking, and his eyes showed a trace of pain.


    When he hit the gun, Cao Zhang not only felt pain in his palm, but also his Qi and blood were restless.


    However, Huang Hu is powerful and unforgiving.


    The big hammer of his right hand swung up, and the second hammer came to Cao Zhang in an instant.


    Cao Zhang couldn''t avoid it. He held the gun in his hands and went straight up.


    "Dang!"


    The hammer hit the barrel of the gun, and with a click, it broke.


    The hammer went on straight to Cao Zhang''s chest.


    When Cao Zhang saw the sledgehammer coming, he widened his eyes and looked desperate. Faced with the hammer, he couldn''t avoid it at all. Just as Cao Zhang was about to be hit by the golden hammer, a big gun came out and slapped on the golden hammer.With one shot, the hammer deflected.


    It''s Xia Houyuan.


    Xia Houyuan roared: "Mr. Zhang, don''t retreat."


    "Yes! Yes


    Cao Zhang replied quickly, and hastened to pull his horse back.


    Huang Hu failed to kill Cao Zhang, and his anger was vented on Xia Houyuan. The golden hammer in his hand directly hit Xia Houyuan: "Xia Houyuan, go to die!"


    Beat drum urn gold hammer swept, XiaHouYuan gun to resist.


    With one blow, the gun flew out.


    Xia Houyuan himself, but also blood churning, blood can not control to vomit blood.


    In the face of Huang Hu, Xia Houyuan is not the enemy of unity.


    Xia Houyuan endured the discomfort of his body, turned around and withdrew from the army with Cao Zhang. As he retreated, Cao Zhang asked, "general Xiahou, why are you behind me?"


    Xia Houyuan said: "the prime minister does not trust you!"


    Cao Zhang was silent when he heard the speech. I thought I could compete with Huang Hu, but I didn''t expect that I was not an opponent at all. He was defeated by Huang Hu after only two moves.


    The two retreated while the soldiers in the army were still resisting.


    But in the face of the yellow tiger, the soldiers could not resist.


    In his hand, Huang Hu beat the drum and urn with a golden hammer. No one could stop him. He was like a bulldozer, pushing forward and crushing Cao Cao''s soldiers.


    On the other hand, shamoko is also extremely smooth.


    Shamoko was born with divine power. Although his power was slightly inferior to that of Huang Hu, he was also a rare fierce general in the world. In the absence of Xu Chu, no one in the army could resist shamoko, so shamoko pushed forward all the way.


    The two cavalry on the left and right wings quickly drew closer to Cao Cao.


    Thirty feet!


    Twenty feet!


    The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.


    "It''s the soldiers who are worried," he said. Now that they''re coming, we have to retreat and avoid them. "


    Xun you also suggested: "prime minister, order."


    Cao Cao clenched his fist. In his narrow eyes, he was unwilling.


    Don''t want to fail!


    Not willing to fail!


    Cao Cao knew that once he retreated, the trap he set this time would fail. As soon as he retreated, all the fighting tigers, leopards, cavalry and infantry in front of him would break up.


    However, Cao Cao couldn''t resist the two top soldiers Huang Hu and shamoko.


    All the troops were sent out to fight, which made the guards around Cao Cao unable to stop Huang Hu.


    Cheng Yu once again advised: "prime minister, we should be determined and not be disturbed. Now we have to retreat! Even if we can''t win now, it''s no big deal. Long before, that was what was expected. Now we retreat, give Chang''an to Liu Xiu, and let Liu Xiu occupy it. Then, let''s compete with Liu Xiu. "


    Xun you also advised, "prime minister, don''t delay!"


    Cao Cao sighed and said, "just withdraw!"


    At the command, all the soldiers took action, surrounded by Cao Cao to retreat.


    "Dang! Dang


    The voice of the call to the end sounded on the battlefield.


    Cao''s soldiers were fighting, but now they suddenly heard the order to retreat. For a moment, they all retreated like flies. The advantage that we had is no longer there.


    Liu Xiu saw this scene, with a bright smile on his face, and ordered the killing.


    The drums are thundering and the soldiers are imposing.


    The army quickly killed Cao Jun, forming a one-sided killing on the whole battlefield. At this time, Huang Hu and shamoko led their troops to rob and kill each other, which led to the collapse of Cao''s army.


    Cao Cao''s retreat completely defeated Cao''s army.


    Defeat like a mountain!


    After Cao Cao''s defeat, Liu Xiu continued to push forward to Chang''an.


    When the army came to Chang''an, Cao Cao did not retreat into Chang''an, but gave up. Liu Xiu stopped in Chang''an and brought his army to the outside of Chang''an city.

 Chapter 596

    Liu Xiu''s army came outside Chang''an city. When the army arrived, the gate of Chang''an City opened directly.


    Chang''an county magistrate, including Jing Zhaoyin, all came.


    Many officials came out to welcome Liu Xiu.


    In this scene, Liu Xiumei frowned.


    What''s going on?


    As soon as his army arrived, countless officials came to meet him.


    Liu Xiu didn''t believe in hegemony, but he was also a bastard. Especially in Chang''an, there were many wars. Some of these officials surrendered to Guo Si, some to Li Xi, and some to Cao Cao. They were already used to the war. It was impossible for Liu Xiu to surrender when he came.


    Liu Xiu glanced at the crowd and said, "who is Jing Zhaoyin?"


    "My Lord, I''m Xunqiu. It''s jingzhaoyin."


    A middle-aged man with clear face, sunken eyes and anxious eyes came out.


    This man is Xun Qiu.


    Liu Xiu squinted and said, "are you from the Xunzi family in Yingchuan?"


    "Yes


    Xun Qiu nodded.


    Liu Xiu said, "what''s your relationship with Xun Yu and Xun you?"


    After hearing this, Xun Qiu felt a thump in his heart.


    You know, Xunyu or Xunyou are all the advisers under the command of Cao Cao. If he is involved with them, he will be implicated. For a moment, Xun Qiu''s heart was uneasy.


    After thinking about it, Xun Qiu said, "I''m Liu Jingzhou''s cousin. My Lord, although I''m a cousin of Xun Yu, I''m definitely not the one arranged by Cao Cao. Please be aware of it. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "what''s the situation in the city now?"


    Looking for a painful complexion, he replied: "Cao Cao had expected today''s situation long ago, so he sent troops to move Chang''an''s grain, money and equipment. Today, countless officials and soldiers in Chang''an are waiting for food to fill their stomachs! "


    Brush!


    Liu Xiu''s face changed greatly.


    What a cruel move of Cao Cao!


    There are countless officials and soldiers in such a big Chang''an city.


    It is absolutely difficult for Liu Xiu to support so many people by himself.


    Cao Cao withdrew, but left Liu Xiu a mess.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Xun Qiu and others. Each of them had a dignified face and looked at Liu Xiu eagerly, hoping that Liu Xiu could give a solution.


    At this time, Liu Xiu had already been put on the shelf and was put on the shelf.


    After thinking about it, Liu Xiu understood the current situation.


    Cao Cao, this is on purpose!


    Liu Xiu said, "Xun Qiu, I''ll give you a task."


    Xun Qiu said, "please give me your orders!"


    Liu Xiu said: "you immediately summon the big businessmen of Chang''an City and invite them to discuss business. Tell them that if they don''t come, I will personally lead the troops. "


    "Ah


    Xun Qiu''s face was shocked.


    Call in the big business?


    Xunqiu was also a child of the Xunzi family. He knew the importance of things. Liu Xiu made it clear that he wanted to use a knife. If the businessmen dare not come, it means that Liu Xiu will kill him.


    Liu Xiu light way: "how, have a problem?"


    Xun Qiu shook his head and said, "no, no problem."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "who is the magistrate of Chang''an County?"


    "I am!"


    A middle-aged man with elegant appearance came out.


    Standing in front of Liu Xiu, the middle-aged man arched his hand and said, "I''ve met Liu Jingzhou, my official Tang Min."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "you are very good. Since you are the magistrate of Chang''an County, I give you a task to call up the aristocratic families in the city and invite their clan leaders to come outside the city. My officer is waiting for him in the camp. "


    Since Cao Cao has emptied Chang''an City, Liu Xiu does not plan to enter the city.


    So big Chang''an, who knows Cao Cao also arranged what backhand.


    Once you enter Chang''an City and are ambushed, it''s not cost-effective. Liu Xiu stationed his troops outside the city. He could attack and defend when he entered, and there was no threat to him around. This was the most appropriate choice.


    Tang Min said, "yes, I''ll arrange it right away."


    As for Liu Xiu''s arrangement, Tang people only need to implement it, or as a communicator.


    Whether the major families will come or not is not a matter for the Tang people.


    Liu Xiu asked Xun Qiu and Tang Min to retreat, and led his troops to stay outside the city.


    In the camp!


    Liu Xiu called together Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Wen pin and Xu Shu to discuss the matter.


    Liu Xiu said: "Cao Cao took all the food, money and equipment, leaving an empty city. I think this should be a step in Cao Cao''s plan. What do you think? "


    Jia Xu stroked his beard and said, "Lord, Cao Cao''s purpose should be two. First, let the Lord retreat. Chang''an is now a mess. If the Lord stays, he will face many problems. Even if one can''t handle it well, it will bring crisis to the hero. If the Lord retreats, Cao Cao will naturally occupy Chang''an again. ""Second, attack the Lord again. If the Lord wants to have a foothold in Chang''an, he must stay and solve the problem of Chang''an. Under such circumstances, the grain and grass is a great test for the Lord. However, the narrow terrain of the Meridian Road makes it very difficult to transport grain. There are so many people in Chang''an City in need of relief that there will be problems in the Lord''s food supply. It''s OK in a short time, but it will go wrong in a long time. "


    Jia Xu''s eyes twinkled with light and said: "Cao Cao''s plan is to attack the Lord when there is something wrong with his grain and grass. At that time, Cao Cao could even go straight through the Ziwu Valley and go south to Hanzhong. As long as Cao Cao occupies Ziwu Valley, there will be no more difficulties in going south. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Cao Cao''s plan should be like this."


    Pang Tong said: "unfortunately, Cao Cao''s plan is doomed to fail."


    Liu Xiu said, "what does Shi Yuan think?"


    Pang Tong said: "now we occupy Chang''an and cut off the passage from Cao Cao to Liangzhou. In other words, the Cao army in Liangzhou is already a lone army, and the news will immediately cause a storm in Liangzhou. When Ma Chao and Yan Pu enter Liangzhou, the news of Cao Cao''s defeat disturbs the situation. Ma Chao is sure to succeed. Once Liangzhou was captured, Liangzhou and Chang''an would be linked together. In addition, Hanzhong would completely stabilize Guanzhong. If Cao Cao wanted to take back Chang''an, it would be extremely difficult. This time, Cao Cao''s idea is good, but if he wants to calculate the Lord, he doesn''t know that he has fallen into the disadvantage. "


    Xu Shu thought about it for a while, and said, "Mr. Pang''s suggestion is very good, and I agree to spread the news to Liangzhou immediately. But if the Lord wants to raise granaries and money from the merchants and aristocratic families in Chang''an, I''m afraid it will cause a rebound. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "rebound? Do they dare? Besides, I''m not going to enter Chang''an. As long as I don''t enter, what can they do for me? "


    Xu Shu said, "this is also true."


    Jia Xu said with a smile: "it''s just some businessmen or aristocratic families. As long as the common people benefit, that''s enough."


    Several people sat together and carefully discussed the arrangements for the war.


    After confirmation, Liu Xiu said, "Deng Zhan!"


    "Yes


    Deng Zhan came in and saluted.


    Liu Xiu said: "you immediately send the royal guards into Liangzhou to spread the news that Cao Cao was defeated and retreated to Luoyang. Tell all the officials in Xiliang that Cao Cao lost Chang''an and lost his troops. Xiliang has been isolated. "


    "Yes


    Deng zhande ordered him to turn around and leave.


    Liu Xiu waved Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others to retreat, and sat alone in the camp waiting.


    The capture of Chang''an in this war is a windfall.


    This kind of advantage, Cao Cao give up, Liu Xiu is also happy in the heart.


    An hour later, Xun Qiu came with the big merchants in the city. There were twelve merchants, the biggest in Chang''an City, all of whom were rich and unparalleled.


    After Xun Qiu arrived, Tang people also came with the aristocratic family of Chang''an city. This time, there are many more aristocratic families. There are enough heads of 18 aristocratic families.


    In fact, it is because the emperor arrived in Xudu and all the officials went to Xudu. If Chang''an is still the place where the emperor is located, there will be countless aristocratic families.


    Liu Xiu met all the people in the tent, and let the aristocratic family sit on the left side and the businessman sit on the right side.


    Take your seat.


    One by one, there was a look of uneasiness in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    Liu Xiu captured Chang''an, and now everything is dominated by Liu Xiu. Once Liu Xiu really wants to make trouble, then Chang''an city will be a river of blood, and countless people will die here.


    Therefore, all the great families and businessmen did not dare to fight against Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 597

    Liu Xiu looked at the crowd and said with a smile, "when you were outside the camp, I heard the voice of conversation, and said that there was a smile. The atmosphere was harmonious. But now when I came in, my faces looked nervous and worried. Are you going to eat people? "


    When they heard the words, they all laughed.


    "Adults joked, just suddenly see adults, a little nervous in the heart."


    "Yes, my Lord is famous all over the world. Now I see a real person, I really feel a little uncomfortable. "


    "I''m excited. I''m excited."


    One by one, they began to speak, all explaining.


    But in their hearts, they secretly scold Liu Xiu. They all think it''s no good for Liu Xiu to look for them. After all, they have to pay for their food. It''s all a knife on their meat.


    Liu Xiu raised his hand to press down, and the tent was quiet.


    Everyone shut up and stopped talking.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on everyone and said, "I invite you here for the sake of food."


    Brush!


    Countless people have changed their faces.


    Although everyone knew in advance, they were nervous when they got the exact answer.


    Food!


    Whether it''s officials or soldiers inside the city, or Liu Xiu''s army outside the city, they all need a lot of food.


    To let them take out food is like cutting meat on them.


    Liu Xiu glanced at everyone''s reaction and continued: "as we all know, Cao Cao''s withdrawal took away all the food, money and equipment, which made Chang''an difficult to operate. So now, you need to work together to solve this problem. "


    "My Lord, I have something to say."


    Suddenly, a fat middle-aged man stood up and bowed his hands.


    Liu xiudao: "you are?"


    The fat man replied, "in the lower Song Dynasty, he was a businessman in Chang''an."


    Liu xiudao: "what do you want to say?"


    Song Yuan replied, "what I want to say is that my business has been greatly affected by years of war and exorbitant taxes. Over the years, the officers and soldiers cut leeks one after another, which made the Song family unable to operate at all. So far, our income is not enough to make ends meet


    Liu Xiu asked, "Song Yuan, are you sure?"


    Song Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "sure!"


    Liu Xiu chuckled. Instead of looking at Song Yuan, he turned to the other businessmen and asked, "where are you


    "My Lord, it''s the same at home."


    As the voice fell, an old man with a clear face stood up.


    Liu Xiu asked, "who are you?"


    The old man introduced himself: "I am Xue Zhao, the head of the Xue family in Chang''an. Just as Song Yuan said, Cao Cao, Li Yi and others have come to snatch one after another, which makes us really unable to support. "


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "what about the others? Any more? "


    When they asked again, everyone was on guard, and their eyes were cautious.


    Liu Xiu has never made a statement. I don''t know what it means?


    If the bet is wrong, it''s a disaster.


    Liu Xiu saw that all of them did not speak, and said, "it seems that the song and Xue families can''t afford food and money, which means that the rest of the families can afford it, right?"


    In a word, the faces of the families who did not speak changed greatly. If it''s true, as Liu Xiu said, we have to pay for food, that''s the real tragedy.


    "My Lord, I have something to say."


    Suddenly, another man stood up and bowed to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said, "what is your name?"


    To humanity: "I''m Zhu Yan, a businessman in Chang''an city."


    Liu xiudao: "what do you want to say?"


    Zhu Yan replied, "the Zhu family is in the same situation. It''s hard for them to bear the burden of food and money. After all, the Zhu family has encountered difficulties now! "


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "I know."


    With that, Liu Xiu looked at the others and said, "is there anyone else besides Song Yuan, Xue Zhao and Zhu Yan?"


    At this time, Liu Xiu asked for the third time.


    At this inquiry, the people in the camp suddenly felt strange.


    This is not right!


    All the aristocratic families and businessmen who had planned to make their way to the top of the world forbeared, stopped talking and quietly watched the development of the situation.


    Liu Xiu saw people''s faces and knew that no one would come out again. Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Song Yuan, Xue Zhao and Zhu Yan, and said, "I''ll ask you again. Are you really at the end of your tether and can''t give you money and food?"


    There is a little coldness in the words.


    When Song Yuan and others heard the speech, their faces became serious.


    Xue Zhao suddenly said, "my Lord, I just thought that the Xue family still has some food."


    Then Xue called back to his seat.Liu Xiu looked at Song Yuan and Zhu Yan again and said, "are you two sure?"


    "Sure!"


    Song Yuan didn''t even think about it, so he spoke directly.


    Zhu Yan also said: "yes, the Zhu family is at the end of its tether."


    Liu Xiu showed a smile on his face and said, "very good."


    "Yellow tiger, please."


    At Liu Xiu''s command, the soldiers went down to give orders.


    After a while, Huang Hu, dressed in armor, strode in, knelt down on one knee and saluted Liu Xiu with his fist clasped: "finally, Huang Hu, meet the Lord."


    Liu Xiu raised his hand and Huang Hu stood up.


    Liu xiudao: "Tang people!"


    "I''m in a humble position!"


    As a county magistrate, Tang Min came out obediently.


    Liu xiudao: "you lead Huang Hu, let him take 500 soldiers to Zhu''s and song''s, and carefully check whether Zhu''s and song''s have stored grain and money."


    "Yes


    Tang Min and Huang Hu were ordered at the same time.


    When Zhu Yan and Song Yuan heard the speech, their faces changed greatly, and their eyes were full of surprise.


    This is robbery!


    Zhu Yanlian said: "you can''t do this, my Lord!"


    Song Yuan said: "my Lord, we have not broken the law. You directly send troops to break into the house. What''s the reason?"


    The two men had a great conflict with Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "I suspect that you are Cao Cao''s hidden stake in Chang''an, so today, we must give an account. This matter must be verified. If we fight Cao Cao, we may lose everything. So I''d rather kill one thousand than one. Now that I have received the news that you are colluding with Cao Cao, I must check it out. "


    Zhu Yan smell speech, the body all slight tremble.


    How cruel!


    Liu Xiu is so cruel!


    Song Yuan also glared, did not expect Liu Xiuhui to do so.


    The rest of them were glad that they didn''t rush up, otherwise they would be shot.


    Cao Cao took all the food and money away. Liu Xiu must be crazy if he doesn''t have food and money. He will try every means to get food and money. Now he''s fighting against Liu Xiu, and he''ll be beaten.


    Liu Xiu stares at them with a smile. He believes Song Yuan and Zhu Yan will make the right decision.


    In an extraordinary period, we should take extraordinary measures.


    Chang''an is short of food. If Liu Xiu doesn''t do so, it will drag down the army, affect countless soldiers, and further affect Liu Xiu''s overall situation of taking Chang''an.


    Therefore, anyone who dares to stop is Liu Xiu''s enemy.


    Zhu Yan took a deep breath and said, "my Lord, the Zhu family is willing to help. Since the adults are short of food, the Zhu family will give their full support even if they are selling iron by smashing the pot. "


    At this stage, if Zhu Yan resists again, the loss will be even greater.


    Song Yuan was alone and didn''t dare to fight against Liu Xiu. He also said, "my Lord, although the Song family is poor, they are in danger. The Song family will help them if they give up their wealth."


    Under the pressure of Liu Xiu, both of them expressed their willingness to support.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "how can you collude with Cao Cao because you are so supportive and noble? This kind of thing, absolutely does not exist. This matter will be thoroughly investigated by our official, and we will do justice to both of you. Sit down, ladies and gentlemen


    What I said is very impressive.


    After hearing this, everyone was even more afraid of Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu is cheeky, flexible and cunning. He is not only cruel to himself but also to the enemy.


    In their hearts, they all wanted not to provoke Liu Xiu.


    Once Liu Xiu is provoked, the consequences will be even worse.


    As soon as Liu Xiu''s big sleeve brushed, he asked Huang Hu to step down. Then he said with a smile, "let''s get down to business. Now let''s discuss the issue of food and money. I hope you can help me."

 Chapter 598

    an outwardly kind but inwardly cruel person!


    In everyone''s heart, thought of this word.


    Liu Xiu coerces Song Yuan and Zhu Yan in front of them. Instead, he says it''s OK. He has too thick skin and too dark heart. Such a person is most suitable and difficult to deal with, which makes the major families and businessmen helpless.


    You''re more cheeky than him. He''s more cheeky than you.


    You are more cruel than him, he is more cruel than you, and his heart is darker.


    More importantly, Liu Xiu is strong enough.


    Under various reasons, everyone dare not break hands with Liu Xiu. What Liu Xiu says is what he says.


    Song Yuan was the first to say: "Liu Jingzhou, although our song family is not a big family or a big family, Liu Jingzhou needs food, and the Song family is willing to help. My song family provided 20000 stone grain and 5000 gold to support Liu Jingzhou. "


    "Hiss!"


    When they heard the words, their faces were shocked.


    Twenty thousand tons of grain, converted into hundreds of thousands of Jin of grain.


    When the Song family takes out so much grain, it will definitely hurt their muscles and bones.


    Five thousand gold!


    This money is not a small sum.


    Twenty thousand stone grain and five thousand gold are big money.


    One by one, they were stunned and secretly scolded Song Yuan for raising the price so high. Under such circumstances, if there is too much less than Song Yuan, it is impossible to say.


    Liu Xiu had a smile on his face and said, "the Song family is very good. I appreciate it very much. Now there are still some vacant positions in Chang''an city. The Song family can let young and promising disciples become officials. It''s not good to always hide and tuck in. "


    "Ah


    When Song Yuan heard the speech, he couldn''t help exclaiming.


    There was so much surprise in his eyes.


    Liu Xiu said, "why, don''t you want to?"


    "Yes, yes, thank you for your kindness."


    As a businessman, even though he is as rich as his country, he will be suppressed by the government. Now Liu Xiu''s light words give the Song family an official position, which is a pie from the sky.


    When money and food are used, they can earn more.


    But if we miss this opportunity, we will not have it.


    Song Yuan bows and bows again. Then he sits down happily. He looks like you Rong Yan, forgetting all the conflicts with Liu Xiu just now.


    Zhu Yan also stood up and said: "Liu Jingzhou, although the Zhu family is hard, they can''t make Liu Jingzhou''s soldiers starve and have no salary. My Zhu family also donated 20000 stone grain and 5000 gold. "


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu nodded, looking satisfied.


    This time, Liu Xiu did not mention the officials again.


    Zhu Yan felt some loss in his heart and secretly regretted it. He thought that if he was the first one to stand up, then he would get the benefit of the Zhu family. What a pity!


    Zhu Yan''s heart lost, but helpless.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "the Zhu family and the Song family have expressed their views. What about you?"


    "My Lord, I don''t have much money and enough food. So we can only take five thousand grain from Liushi. There is not much money and food, but it is the Liu family''s wish. "


    "Liu Jingzhou, I don''t have much food, but I have plenty of money. The ancient family produced 1000 stone grain and 100000 gold. "


    "My Xue family gave ten thousand stone grain and three thousand gold."


    "Our Zhao family gave us 20000 stone grain and 5000 gold."


    ¡­¡­


    Everyone in the hall spoke one after another.


    No matter they were aristocrats or businessmen, they all gave food and money.


    Liu Xiu listened with a bright smile on his face.


    In such a big city of Chang''an, although the granary was empty and all the equipment was removed, the aristocratic family and businessmen were still there. In the war years, what these aristocratic families and businessmen were good at was hoarding food and money. If they supported Liu Xiu, everything would be OK.


    The problem of food is not a problem at all.


    After everyone had counted, Liu Xiu looked at the assistant officials who counted. At this time, the assistant official said: "my Lord, the food donated by the major families totaled 430000 stones, and the money totaled 320000 gold."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes twinkled after listening.


    430000 stone grain!


    I''m afraid that the number of Cao Cao''s removal is not the same.


    The family of Chang''an city is not simple!


    Liu Xiu stood up, bowed his hands to those present, and said, "I have recorded your friendship."


    In a word, people here are still short-sighted.


    They look at Liu Xiu and look forward to his next words. They all paid such a high price. If only the Song family gained profits, it would be a big loss. They just wanted to get benefits from Liu Xiu.


    After Liu Xiu sat down, he said, "if you trust and support me so much, I can''t let you suffer! I promise that as long as Chang''an city is under my rule, Chang''an city will be exempt from taxes for all merchants in the next three years. Second, many officials in Chang''an city are missing, and many of them are from Cao Cao. Therefore, if there is a vacancy, the major families can report it. My official will arrange Xun Qiu to select one by one, and then arrange to work everywhere. "After listening to the two decisions, everyone had a bright smile on his face.


    Big money!


    Tax exemption for three years!


    For businessmen, if the government does not collect taxes, they will earn a lot. They can transfer all the money they have paid in a few months instead of a year.


    Most importantly, people from all major families can become officials.


    At the moment, everyone looked at Liu Xiu with hot eyes.


    If they complained about Liu Xiu before and wanted to strip him of his skin, now they want to give him up as a Bodhisattva.


    Because Liu Xiu came, they got benefits.


    For businessmen and aristocratic families, the so-called cheekiness is nothing.


    The most important thing is interests.


    Liu Xiu is to see this point, dare lion big mouth.


    Liu Xiu, in particular, was exempt from taxes for three years, allowing people from all major families to become officials. Two conditions have tied the merchant and his family to Liu Xiu''s warship. Only by following Liu Xiu can they have these advantages. Once Cao Cao kills again, if they don''t do their best to help Liu Xiu resist, then all the benefits will come to nothing.


    This is Liu Xiu''s calculation.


    Benefit binding!


    Only the combination of interests and interests is the most reliable.


    Liu Xiu looked at the happy faces of the families, waved his hand and said, "you guys, the army is short of food and money. It''s a long way to rely on Hanzhong for supplies. So you have to work hard on this. "


    "Don''t worry, Liu Jingzhou. All this is on us."


    "Liu Jingzhou is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. We will go all out to help Liu Jingzhou."


    "Neither food nor money is a problem. We should do our best."


    One by one, they promised to leave, and then they left one after another to prepare food and money. That afternoon, a steady stream of food and money was sent to the barracks.


    The assistant officials in charge of receiving food and money were recorded bit by bit.


    It lasted two days.


    All the food and money, all in place.


    At this time, Xun Qiu was also very busy, because he wanted to count the vacancies in Chang''an City and receive the reports from the major families. Xun Qiu was busy, and he admired Liu Xiu''s methods. This kind of wrist can be regarded as binding everyone to death, so that they are willing to work for Liu Xiu.


    In the camp!


    Liu Xiu listened to Wen pin''s report and said that the food and money had been arranged properly, with a bright smile on his face.


    Liu Xiu looked at Wen pin and said, "general Wen, the exit of Ziwu road must be guarded. As long as there is a Meridian Road, we can advance, attack and retreat, so that we can echo Liangzhou from afar. "


    Wenpin nodded and said, "don''t worry, my Lord. At the end of the day, the general has arranged 3000 soldiers to guard the Meridian Road. Along the way, there were five li sentry posts and ten li sentry posts, all of which were assigned soldiers. Once there is a war, news will be sent back immediately. Cao Cao''s attempt to attack Ziwu road is impossible. This time, Cao Cao took the initiative to withdraw from Chang''an. He wanted to get the LORD into trouble, but he was self defeating. "


    Liu Xiu had a bright smile on his face and said, "Cao Cao has really lost a lot this time. He withdrew to baling garrison in the east of Chang''an, which was the biggest mistake. Now Chang''an no longer belongs to Cao Cao. "


    Wenpin reported other government affairs, and then turned around and stepped down.

 Chapter 599

    Baling, barracks.


    Cao Cao''s troops are stationed here, and one of them pays close attention to the movement of Chang''an.


    All the actions of Chang''an spread to Cao Cao''s camp.


    A pro guard came in in a hurry and handed a letter. After Cao Cao took it, he waved his hand to the soldiers to step down, and then quickly browsed the news.


    After watching, Cao Cao slapped on the desk and looked angry.


    Damn it!


    Liu xiuduan is not a son.


    How hateful!


    Cao Cao kneaded the letter into a ball and threw it directly to the ground.


    "Somebody


    Cao Cao called and Xu Chu came in.


    Xu Chu said, "prime minister!"


    Cao Cao said, "please Xunyu, Chengyu and LiuYe."


    "No!"


    Xu Chu nodded, then turned back.


    Soon, Xun you, Cheng Yu and Liu Ye came in and bowed: "I''ve met the prime minister."


    After they saluted, Cao Cao waved his hand to show them to be seated.


    Cao Cao''s face was as deep as water, his expression was solemn, and he said: "just now I got the news that Liu Xiu was in Chang''an City, and he coerced all the aristocratic families and businessmen to pay for food. According to the news, Liu Xiu got about 400000 stones of grain from his family and merchants, and more than 300000 yuan of money. "


    Brush!


    Xun you, Cheng Yu and Liu Ye changed their faces when they heard the speech.


    Four hundred thousand stone grain!


    Three hundred thousand gold!


    It''s not a small amount.


    If this batch of food is used to supply tens of thousands of people, it can at least guarantee that there will be no shortage of food in a year.


    Three hundred thousand dollars can guarantee the salary.


    The purpose of Cao Cao''s retreat was to make use of the topography of Ziwu road to make Liu Xiu''s grain road unstable. Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu''s food problem was solved immediately.


    Cao Cao said: "after Liu Xiu collected money and grain, he promised that all the merchants in Chang''an City would not receive any taxes within three years. He even offered countless official positions to the major families and merchants, allowing them to become officials."


    "Hiss!"


    Xun you three people smell speech, can''t help but pour to absorb cool air.


    What a cruel means!


    What a brilliant move!


    Xun you turned his eyes and said, "prime minister, Liu Xiu''s move is too cruel. We are going to attack Chang''an now. Even if Liu Xiu doesn''t send troops to help us, I''m afraid that countless families and businessmen in Chang''an city will resist with all their strength. There is no other reason, just to protect their own interests. We''re going to break each other up unless we offer better terms. "


    Cao Cao added: "Liu Xiu also took a walk, saying that we were defeated by him and that he occupied Chang''an. The news is spreading to Liangzhou. Liu Xiu''s intention is to disturb Liangzhou! "


    Liu Ye said, "prime minister, I suggest attacking Liu Xiu immediately."


    Cao Cao said, "why?"


    Liu Ye said: "if we don''t attack Chang''an, once Liangzhou falls, Chang''an and Liangzhou, Chang''an and Hanzhong are all connected, it will be a huge blow to us. Even then, it will be difficult for us to capture Chang''an. Prime minister, it should not be too late. Please send troops as soon as possible. "


    Cheng Yu stroked his white beard and said, "prime minister, Liu Ye''s suggestion is reasonable. Now, we must attack Chang''an. Otherwise, the event will be in danger! "


    Xun you said, "in addition to our attack on Chang''an, we have to order Cao Ren to attack Jingzhou again. Anyway, attack with all your strength. Let Nanyang County in a hurry, let Liu Xiu can''t have a foothold in Chang''an. "


    For the current situation, Xun you also had a little worry.


    If things are not handled properly, we will lose Guanzhong completely.


    Cao Cao took a deep breath and ordered: "pass the order down and attack immediately."


    "No!"


    Xun you as a military adviser, he got the order, turned and went down to arrange.


    The army moved straight to Chang''an.


    Outside Chang''an City, Jingzhou military camp.


    Chinese army big account!


    When Liu XiuXiu was dealing with military affairs, Deng Zhan came in in a hurry.


    Deng Zhan saluted and said, "Lord, Cao Cao is coming to Chang''an."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "as expected, Cao Cao could not sit still when he learned that we had got food and money. Go and invite wenpin. "


    "Yes


    Deng Zhan was ordered to turn around and go down to inform.


    Not long after, wenpin came to the camp and saluted: "Lord!"


    Liu Xiu said directly: "Cao Cao has sent troops. You are ready to resist immediately. In this war, we don''t need to fight, we just need to resist. "


    Wenpin said: "Lord, we have the ability to fight."


    After fighting with Cao Cao for a long time, wenpin was eager to defeat Cao Cao. Now, Cao Cao once again led the army to kill Liu Xiu. Wen pin''s eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he wanted to beat Liu Xiu in one go.Liu Xiu said: "the purpose of Cao Cao''s killing is to defeat us. Moreover, Cao Cao''s main purpose is to consume our troops. The Meridian Road is long and narrow. It is very difficult for us to transport troops and grain. Moreover, Hanzhoung has just returned to the ground. If soldiers who lose too much now, it is inappropriate to deploy troops from Hanzhoung. So now, we''re defending. As long as Ma Chao wins in Liangzhou, then we can fight Cao Cao. "


    After hearing this, Wen pin nodded and said, "don''t worry, my Lord. I understand your humble position."


    On defense, wenpin still has a set of rules.


    Immediately, wenpin went out of the camp, and then quickly arranged for the soldiers to prepare. About two hours later, outside the camp, came the rumble of war drums and the whine of trumpets.


    Here comes Cao Cao''s army!


    Liu Xiu also went out of the camp and came to the gate of the camp.


    Wen pin stood beside Liu Xiu and reported: "don''t worry, my Lord. Everything is ready."


    "Well, I''ll watch you direct."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes expected that since wenpin was in charge, he would not interfere in wenpin''s affairs.


    "Da! Da! Dada


    All of a sudden, the sound of horse''s hooves came first.


    With the sound of the horse''s hooves, the whole ground vibrated slightly.


    On the official road in the distance, a wriggling black line appeared. With the passage of time, the black line became clearer and clearer, and the last cavalry appeared on the official road.


    Cao Cao''s first wave of attack, directly to the cavalry charge.


    As long as the cavalry broke through Liu Xiu''s camp, it was easy to defeat Liu Xiu next.


    "Sons, let me kill you and make contributions. Just recently, kill you!"


    This time, Cao Zhang was also in the army.


    Cao Zhang with a gun, fast sprint, he wants revenge. He was easily defeated by Huang Hu in the last contest with Huang Hu, and even saved by Xia Houyuan. Now he began to attack Liu Xiu''s camp. Cao Zhang did not leave behind and took the lead.


    Wen pin saw the cavalry coming, his face was still smiling, his face was calm, and there was no panic.


    "Archer, prepare!"


    Wenpin''s order is not impatient.


    All the bowmen, gather in the camp immediately.


    Wenpin once again said: "catapult, ready!"


    Batch after batch of catapults were quickly assembled and all were in place in the camp.


    Wen pin has arranged the position of the crossbow man and the catapult. Bowman in front, catapult in back, all in position.


    Thousands of horses galloped closer and closer to the camp.


    "Herod


    The horses hissed and ran fast.


    The closer to the camp, the more obvious the shock of the ground, and the soldiers in the camp, one by one, are tense, and their faces are very serious.


    The distance is getting closer.


    A hundred feet!


    Eighty feet!


    When the distance narrowed to 80 Zhang, Wen pin ordered: "catapult, attack!"


    With a single order, there were 30 catapults lining up in the camp, and all the stones were thrown out. Each stone has a weight of more than 150 Jin, and the weight is as much as 300 Jin.


    Big stone whistling, in the air across an arc, instantly fell in the middle of countless horses.


    "Pa!"


    When the stones fell, the soldiers and horses were killed without a sound.


    "Boom!"


    After the stone fell to the ground, it made a big hole in the ground.


    Thirty big stones fell one after another, just like a peaceful sleep fell into the stone, instantly set off a circle of waves. Dozens of war horses were killed, and countless war horses were frightened. The cavalry, who had been so aggressive, suddenly seemed to be strangled and could no longer breathe.


    The cavalry formation was in chaos, and the horses were out of control and ran around.


    Cao zhangren saw that the situation was out of control among the cavalry and roared, "go, go, go."

 Chapter 600

    The catapult has a long range and great power, but it can only attack from a long distance.


    Cao Zhang''s idea is to charge quickly. As long as you rush through, the catapult will lose its function. As long as the cavalry approach the camp and launch a sprint, the cavalry will be invincible. Once in Liu Xiu''s camp, Liu Xiu was defeated.


    Northern land, cavalry invincible!


    Cao Zhang roared and rushed, and so did his soldiers.


    The cavalry rushed to the camp.


    Although the catapult caused the loss of cavalry, but also let the cavalry have a certain disturbance, but after all, stones are a small number. The impact of tens and hundreds of fast stones on cavalry is not great.


    The distance is still getting closer.


    The cavalry all over the sky came close, and the attack was like a tide, which was frightening.


    Wen pin is still calm in his eyes.


    As a general of the first army under Liu Xiu''s command, he still has this psychological quality. Wen pin looked at Cao''s cavalry outside the camp with a cold look in his eyes.


    This time, Cao Cao''s cavalry will suffer heavy losses.


    He had arranged for Cao Cao''s cavalry early. It would be very disappointing if he couldn''t hurt Cao Cao''s cavalry.


    Sixty feet!


    Forty feet!


    When the distance shrinks to 40 Zhang, wenpin no longer hesitates.


    Wen pin ordered: "crossbow hand, release the arrow."


    The three hundred archers lined up, their crossbows aimed outside the camp and pulled the trigger directly.


    "Pa! "Pop!"


    The sound of crossbows and arrows resounded through the camp.


    Although the roaring sound of the catapult is deafening, it still covers the bow, but the shooting of the bow is fierce. Compared with the catapult, the crossbow is faster, more flexible, and more accurate.


    A group of 300 crossbows and arrows broke through the air, and with a sharp whistling, they shot at the oncoming cavalry.


    "Whew! Whew


    There was a piercing sound from the crossbow in the air.


    The sound is even more frightening.


    "Puchi!"


    A crossbow hit a cavalry, and the strong force of the crossbow directly penetrated the soldier''s body. With blood, the crossbow continued to move forward and once again penetrated the body of a cavalry.


    It took three soldiers to fall to the ground.


    The design of three hundred crossbows and arrows swept Cao''s cavalry at the front in an instant.


    The whole cavalry of Cao army was in chaos.


    In a flash, the crossbow and arrow came again, reaping the lives of Cao''s cavalry once again.


    With crossbows in front and stones behind, Cao''s soldiers had to spread out to avoid being shot. But the crossbow is very easy to move, and the crossbow itself is the same shooting, even if the cavalry is scattered, it is not very useful.


    If you want to rush forward, you have to use the lives of soldiers to fill it.


    Cao Zhang, carrying a big gun, roared: "kill! Kill me. We''re on the way. Kill it


    The cavalry continued to charge closer and closer to the camp.


    There are more and more casualties, but the opportunity has come. The distance between the two sides is less than 25 Zhang. As long as we break through the final distance, everything is not a problem. As long as you enter Liu Xiu''s camp, Liu Xiu will be defeated.


    Countless cavalry, risking crossbows and catapults, continued to draw closer.


    After seeing this, Wen pin ordered: "the Bowman retreats and the archer is ready."


    When an order was given, a thousand archers rushed out immediately. The position occupied by the archer is the position of the archer just now. When the distance gets closer again, all you need is archers.


    After all, the cost of crossbows has risen.


    More, it''s feather arrow.


    The distance between the two sides has gradually narrowed to 20 Zhang.


    Liu Neng is a soldier in Cao''s cavalry. He dreams of marrying a wife and giving birth to a bunch of sons, so that he can enjoy his happiness in the future. So in the battlefield, he always dares to fight and kill, and he is quite desperate. Because of Liu Neng''s daring to fight and kill, he soon made contributions and became a centurion in the army.


    In this attack on Liu Xiu''s camp, Liu Neng drove his horse to the front.


    Seeing that the distance was only 20 Zhang, Liu Neng was very excited.


    If he rushes in, as long as he takes the lead, he will be able to make achievements and be promoted again.


    Liu Neng slapped his horse and kept sprinting.


    Suddenly, the horse fell forward.


    "Boom!"


    The horse fell to the ground and its bones were broken. The horse died at that time. Liu Neng also fell down from the horse, fell to the ground, fell dizzy.


    Before he could get up, another horse fell forward.


    "Pa!"


    Liu Neng was overpowered by his horse, and he lost his breath in an instant. Liu Neng''s eyes were full of discontent. He has to make contributions and marry his daughter-in-lawThere are countless soldiers like Liu Neng, but at this time, the cavalry are constantly falling down.


    The soldiers at the front fell down one after another.


    "Trench, trench ahead!"


    The cavalry''s cry of victory had a look of horror on his face.


    For cavalry, the bow and arrow can be avoided, and the big stone can still be avoided. However, if there is a trench, it will have a fatal impact on the cavalry, because once the horse steps in the trench, it must be planted.


    Wenpin looked at Cao''s cavalry, and his eyes were full of smile.


    As a man familiar with the army, how could he not dig trenches in the face of Cao Cao?


    Twenty feet outside the camp, wenpin dug a lot of trenches.


    These trenches are six feet wide, and they are dug every four feet. The place full of trenches occupied a distance of ten feet. With the appearance of these trenches, the cavalry''s offensive disappeared completely without any advantage.


    Seeing that the cavalry were in chaos, Wen pin roared, "Archer, let go."


    A thousand archers, all bow and shoot.


    "Whew! Whew


    A thousand bows and arrows swept through the air and crossed an arc in the air.


    Then, puff puff into the soldier''s body.


    Although the lethality of the bow and arrow is not equal to that of the crossbow and arrow, it has a large amount and no difference in shooting. No matter the horses or the soldiers, they are within the range of the bow and arrow.


    Cao''s cavalry had already been affected by the trench, and all of them were in chaos. Now they are killed by bows and arrows, which is even worse.


    For a moment, Cao''s cavalry did not attack again.


    The cavalry constantly rushing up made the cavalry falling down in front of them seriously injured.


    Wenpin looks at ease, a school of eight wind does not move posture. He looked at the cavalry coldly. According to the current situation, it would be excellent to send soldiers to cover up for a while. But once he was killed, Cao Cao would surely send troops to meet him and fight with him head-on.


    Therefore, wenpin just shot with bow and arrow.


    There are more and more Cao''s cavalry killed and wounded, which is shocking.


    Cao Cao saw this scene in the rear, with a sad look on his face. He did not expect that Liu Xiu''s preparation was so full. Looking at this situation, it is clear that he is waiting for his cavalry to attack.


    Cao Cao, with a solemn expression, said, "summon the cavalry."


    At this stage, Cao''s troops had to withdraw, and he could not make any more progress.


    "Dang! Dang! Dang! "


    The sound of Ming Jin''s withdrawal came out, and Cao''s cavalry, who were on the March, turned around and withdrew one after another. But on the battlefield outside the camp, countless bodies and horses were left.


    These soldiers and horses were all killed and wounded before.


    After the cavalry returned, Cao Cao again ordered the infantry to attack. Compared with cavalry, infantry has less lethality, but they are flexible and can effectively approach the camp.


    Even in the face of bows and arrows, infantry can stand up their shields.


    Countless infantry began to rush forward, and soon they were less than 100 feet away from the camp.


    Wenpin has a bright smile in his eyes. Cao Cao sent infantry this time, so this time, he can also give Cao Cao a major blow.


    Wen pin ordered: "the catapult, but also the pottery pot attack."


    Thirty catapults all changed their weapons and turned the stones into huge pots. Moreover, the range of the catapult has been changed randomly.


    A moment later, Wen pin ordered: "launch!"


    With one order, thirty catapults and thirty sealed earthenware pots were thrown out.


    One by one, the pots flew in the air, and in an instant they reached a distance of ninety feet.


    "Bang!"


    The earthenware pot fell and hit the soldier on the head, killing him instantly. The jar continued to fall, fell to the ground and burst apart. Countless tung oil flowed from the pottery pot and soaked the ground.

 Chapter 601

    Wen pin saw the first batch of pottery pots smashed on the ground, with a bright smile on his face.


    The first batch of pottery pots, it''s finished!


    Then, a catapult took action, throwing pots again.


    For the second time, the earthenware pot was smashed 75 Zhang away from the camp. This batch of 30 pottery pots were smashed down, killing a group of soldiers.


    The third pottery pot was 50 feet away from the camp.


    The fourth pottery pot is 35 feet away from the camp.


    Four times after the pot fell, the ground was full of tung oil smell, has been soaked in tung oil.


    However, because of Cao Cao''s orders, Cao''s soldiers were still approaching.


    Wen pin saw it in his eyes and ordered: "order the crossbow soldiers and shoot the Rockets. All catapults, throw fireballs. "


    At the command, the bowmen and catapults moved quickly. A rocket, a round burning fireball, was directly thrown out.


    "Hoo


    The fireball and rocket fell to the ground, met the tung oil, and burned immediately.


    There was a big fire about sixty feet away.


    The smoke rolled up into the sky.


    Some of the soldiers who charged before were wet by tung oil splashing. Now when they meet Mars, they burn directly. Outside the camp, there was a sea of fire.


    Cao''s soldiers, who were charging at the camp in the middle of the court, were very frightened.


    There were bows and arrows in the front and soldiers of Jingzhou army in the front, and the rear became a sea of fire. The soldiers scurrying in the sea of fire, while the soldiers in front can not advance or retreat.


    The whole scene collapsed in an instant.


    Wen pin looked in his eyes and laughed. It was a big gift he gave to Cao Cao.


    It''s easier to defend than to attack. It''s easier for wenpin to choose defense. His step-by-step plans have all come true. Wenpin won the battle.


    When Cao Cao saw the tragedy of his soldiers in the army, he clenched his fist.


    The cavalry rushed into the battle. It''s a failure!


    The infantry charged and fell into flames again.


    In this war, he was completely defeated.


    Even from the beginning of Cao Cao''s attack, he was expected by the other side.


    Cao Cao stares at the front, his eyes are not willing.


    Seeing the tragedy ahead, Xun you sighed in his heart and said, "prime minister, our soldiers are in a sea of fire. It must be impossible to attack again now. Withdraw. " This attack, Xun you did not expect to be so fierce.


    Cheng Yu looked cold and said, "prime minister, it''s no use attacking again. Liu Xiu is obviously well prepared, so we''d better withdraw. "


    After listening, Cao Cao said, "no choice!"


    So far, Cao Cao had to retreat.


    "Dang! Dang! "


    The sound of the gong sounded on the battlefield. All the soldiers who were rushing forward stopped and began to retreat quickly. It''s just a sea of fire in the rear. To retreat, we have to go through the sea of fire. However, it is definitely impossible to retreat in a sea of fire.


    So the soldiers who attacked the camp retreated on both sides.


    When these soldiers bypassed the sea of fire and walked from both sides, they suddenly rushed out from both wings. The soldiers of the two groups were killed, and Cao''s soldiers fled everywhere.


    Countless people have suffered a lot.


    Countless Cao soldiers suffered heavy losses.


    However, the soldiers only covered up for a while, and immediately withdrew.


    Cao''s soldiers who attacked the camp retreated, but wenpin did not pursue them. Then he sent people to clean the battlefield and brought all the crossbows, bows and arrows, as well as the stones that were not broken back to the camp.


    As for the fallen Cao soldiers, they took advantage of the fire and burned it all.


    Cao Jun camp!


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    Cao Cao sat angrily, with a deep expression on his face.


    In this case, Cao Cao was extremely difficult when he was in a stalemate with Yuan Shao. Now such a situation makes Cao Cao angry and unjust. Cao Cao looked at Xun you, Cheng Yu and others and said, "gentlemen, we must find a way to turn the situation around. What should we do? "


    When they heard the speech, they all looked thoughtful.


    It is not easy to break down Liu Xiu''s camp, but it must be done now.


    Otherwise, Liu Xiu will really occupy Chang''an.


    Liu Ye said: "prime minister, I think it''s better to attack Ziwu road with all my strength. Liu Xiu''s army is in Chang''an. When we attack Ziwu Road, Liu Xiu will go to the rescue. Under such circumstances, we will ambush again. "


    Cao Cao thought about Liu Ye''s plan and nodded slightly.


    This is a good strategy.


    It is false to attack Ziwu Road, but it is true to ambush Liu Xiu''s reinforcements.


    Cao Cao looked at Xun you and said, "Gongda, what do you think?"


    Xun you said, "Ziyang''s plan is quite reasonable. However, since we want to move, we will naturally lead the whole body. When we move, we need the cooperation of Chang''an people. If we mobilize Chang''an people and attack Liu Xiu''s camp again. Whether it''s the ambush sent by Liu Xiu or his camp, they will take care of one thing and lose the other. "On the basis of Liu Ye, Xun you added some strategies.


    Cheng Yu said: "I agree with Ziyang and Gongda''s suggestion and feint Ziwu road. We will divide our forces in two ways, one to rob and kill Liu Xiu''s camp, the other to rob and kill Liu Xiu''s reinforcements, and completely defeat Liu Xiu. "


    In view of the fire during the day, Cheng Yu also knows that it is not easy to attack.


    Liu Xiu''s defense was so tight that he lost only tung oil, bows, arrows and stones, while Cao Cao lost a large number of horses and soldiers.


    If we continue to attack hard, more people will be killed or injured.


    Therefore, Cheng Yu suggested taking the initiative.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, XiaHouYuan strides in.


    Xia Hou yuan, with a dignified face, saluted and said, "prime minister, the losses of attacking Liu Xiu''s camp today have been counted."


    When Cao Cao saw the look of Xia Houyuan, he knew that the situation was not good.


    Take a deep breath, Cao Cao said: "how about the loss?"


    Xia Houyuan replied, "1800 horses were lost and more than 2600 soldiers were killed. We have lost too much in this war. "


    When he said the result, Xia Houyuan''s face was very dignified.


    In this war, the loss is too great.


    The most important thing is that none of Liu Xiu''s soldiers were damaged. That''s the point.


    Hearing the speech, Cao Cao smashed his fist on the table and said, "how unreasonable!"


    Xia Houyuan said: "prime minister, calm down!"


    Cao Cao said: "how can I calm down my anger? The loss of this war is not great. How many people have been lost just by attacking the camp once? How many times can the prime minister bear such a loss? "


    Xia Houyuan stood below, trembling.


    For the loss of this war, Xia Houyuan is also speechless.


    Cao Cao sighed and said, "just sit down. We are discussing the strategy of attacking Liu Xiu. You can also sit down and listen to it. "


    Immediately, Cao Cao said what he had just arranged.


    After hearing this, Xia Houyuan said: "prime minister, the last general thinks that if you want to attack Liu Xiu''s camp, you can''t contact the merchants and aristocratic families in Chang''an city. They had the advantage of Liu Xiu and had already been tied to Liu Xiu''s warship. To inform them at this time is like telling Liu Xiu the news. "


    Cheng Yu suddenly said, "prime minister, we are going to attack the city. Why don''t we use the people of Chang''an City?" In Cheng Yu''s mind, he suddenly thought of an idea and said it directly.


    Cao Cao said, "how does Zhong De Gong plan to use them?"


    Cheng Yu said: "as general Xia Hou said, the merchants and families of Chang''an city are on Liu Xiu''s side. Under such circumstances, we will pass the news on to them, and these people will certainly tell Liu Xiu. Therefore, it is better to make use of this situation to create a fog for Liu Xiu. "


    Cao Cao''s eyes narrowed, and he thought.


    Cheng Yu''s idea is really good.


    After thinking for a moment, Cao Cao made a decision and said, "in that case, inform our people in Chang''an City, ask them to contact the merchants and aristocratic families in Chang''an City, and ask them to cooperate with us in attacking Liu Xiu''s camp. Tell them clearly that we are feigning to attack the Meridian Road. We will use this force to contain Liu Xiu''s forces, and then attack Liu Xiu''s camp. "


    After a pause, Cao Cao said, "in this war, we should divide our troops into three groups."


    "First, feint on the surface is actually a real attack. Whether it''s Liu Xiu''s camp or Ziwu Road, it''s a real attack. These are the two armies. "


    "Second, Liu Xiu must have been informed that we are feigning to attack Ziwu road. When Liu Xiu suddenly finds out that we have become a real attack, Liu Xiu will no longer stick to the camp and will send troops to rescue us. Then, the third army will rob and kill on the way. "


    Cao Cao said: "three pronged, Liu Xiu will be defeated."


    Xun you nodded and said, "the truth is the truth. We will win this battle. "


    Xia Houyuan listened to the public discussion, and his face also agreed. After discussing with the public, Cao Cao gave orders one by one and began to prepare for the next plan.

 Chapter 602

    Chang''an City, a residence somewhere.


    In this house, in the study.


    A middle-aged man was sitting upright. A letter was placed on the desk in front of him.


    The letter has been opened, and the middle-aged people have read it.


    "Prime minister, you have given up your humble position!"


    The middle-aged man murmured helplessly.


    The middle-aged man''s name is Qin Wei. Secretly, he is Cao Cao''s spy leader in Chang''an. Superficially, he is the captain of the east city of Chang''an City, responsible for the defense of the east city. Although Cao Cao wanted to attack Liu Xiu''s camp, this strategy was very good. But in fact, the strategy is based on the unreliable foundation of Chang''an City family. After his exposure, Chang''an city''s aristocratic family will reveal the news, he will be in danger.


    However, with his family in Yecheng, Qin Wei had no choice.


    Qin Wei took a deep breath and said, "somebody!"


    As the words fell, a soldier came in.


    Qin Wei looked at the soldiers and said, "go and invite Song Yuan, Zhu Yan and Xue Zhao, the masters of the Song family, to come to your house to discuss business."


    "No!"


    The soldier was ordered to turn around and leave.


    About two quarters of an hour later, Song Yuan, Zhu Yan and Xue Zhao all came to the house.


    Qin Wei looked at the three people, waved his hand and said, "three, please sit down!"


    After Song Yuan and others took their seats, Song Yuan said with a smile, "Captain Qin asked us to come. What''s the matter?"


    Qin Wei said with a smile: "I invite three of you to come here to discuss things."


    After a pause, Qin Wei said, "what do you think of Liu Xiu?"


    Song Yuan took a look at Qin Wei, and then said, "about Liu Xiu, he is a man of great talent and can be a leader. This man has outstanding ability and is a strong enemy of Cao Cao. Maybe it is possible to defeat Cao Cao. "


    Xue Zhao said: "if you don''t beat Cao Cao, it''s possible to block him."


    Zhu Yan said: "Liu Xiu is really powerful."


    They didn''t know the specific situation, so they all flattered Liu Xiu.


    Qin Wei knew that they did not dare to tell the truth now, so he said, "I''m afraid it''s impossible for Liu Xiu to resist or defeat Prime Minister Cao."


    "Why?"


    Song Yuan''s eyes narrowed with a look of examination.


    When Qin Wei said these words, Song Yuan began to think in his heart.


    Zhu Yan and Xue Zhao are also old foxes. They look solemn and wait for Qin Wei''s next words. What Qin Wei said just now can be regarded as casting a brick to attract jade. The next words are the real focus.


    Qin Wei continued: "Liu Xiu and Prime Minister Cao are at war. In my opinion, there are three reasons why they will be defeated."


    "First, Liangzhou is in the hands of Prime Minister Cao. Liangzhou is under the prime minister''s command. Once Liangzhou sends troops, Chang''an is not only suppressed by Prime Minister Cao in the East, but also attacked in the West. How long can Liu Xiu hold up under the condition of double attack? "


    "Second, Prime Minister Cao had plenty of food and sufficient troops. The army of Prime Minister Cao, backed by Luoyang and Yingchuan, can continuously dispatch soldiers and food, and can fight for a long time. But what about Liu Xiu? Liu Xiu''s grain was first supported by you, and then transported from Ziwu road. But the Meridian Road is very dangerous. It is difficult to transport grain and grass, and it is difficult for soldiers to pass through. Liu Xiu''s food and grass have been lost. You can help him. But what about the soldiers? I''m afraid it will be difficult to make up for the loss of soldiers. At that time, I''m afraid Liu Xiu will call you again and ask you to donate accelerated private soldiers to help Liu Xiu stabilize the situation. "


    "Third, Cao Cheng is in the center, with the emperor behind him. It is unreasonable for Prime Minister Cao to act on the principle of righteousness and Liu Xiu to go north to Chang''an. Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu has no great righteousness and does not occupy the position. How can he last long? "


    Qin Wei said three reasons in succession and said, "Liu Xiu is good for you now, but can it last for a long time? Certainly not for long. Prime Minister Cao can give you more of these, even the most important


    Zhu Yan''s eyes narrowed and said, "are you the person of Prime Minister Cao?"


    Qin Wei shook his head and said, "no, it''s just that someone contacted me and gave me more benefits."


    There is a difference between those who are Cao Cao and those who are not.


    It''s Cao Cao''s people. After they are caught, they must be killed. If he is not Cao Cao''s person, he will be bewitched by Cao Cao''s person, and he may be able to avoid death.


    Zhu Yan asked, "what good will Cao Cao do you?"


    Qin Wei replied, "when it''s done, let me be Jing Zhaoyin."


    "Hiss!"


    Zhu Yan took a deep breath, with a touch of shock on his face. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao gave such a condition.


    Zhu Yan said, "what conditions does Cao Cao give us?"


    With a smile, Qin Wei said, "after the event, Liu Xiu''s conditions guarantee that the three can be marquis. Even the three can go to Yecheng as officials. If you don''t want to, you can be an official in Chang''an. "


    Zhu Yan looked at the other three people, and his eyes showed a thoughtful look.


    Qin Wei said: "ladies and gentlemen, after this village, there will be no such shop. If you want to be rich, it depends on whether you can seize this opportunity. "Xue Zhao suddenly said, "my Xue family has agreed. Liu Xiu has bullied my Xue family so much. This time he donated food and money, he has hollowed out the foundation of the Xue family. If we don''t let Liu Xiu bleed heavily, we can''t revitalize the Xue family. "


    When Xue Zhao opened his mouth, Zhu Yan and Song Yuan could not sit still.


    If they don''t agree, I''m afraid they can''t.


    Song Yuan said: "since the Xue family has agreed, my song family is willing to agree."


    Qin Wei''s eyes fell on Zhu Yan. At this time, Zhu Yan was left alone.


    Zhu Yan said: "the Xue family, the Zhu family and the Song family are advancing and retreating together. Now that the Xue family and the Song family have agreed, my Zhu family has no reason to retreat. "


    After a pause, Zhu Yan said, "Qin Wei, how does Prime Minister Cao do it?"


    Qin Wei sees three people agree, smile on the face, but in the heart, it is light sigh tone.


    On the surface, the three families agreed, but on the inside, they were afraid to be vain.


    Qin Wei said, "Prime Minister Cao''s plan this time is to build a plank road in the open and cross Chencang secretly. At that time, Prime Minister Cao will send troops to feint at Ziwu road."


    "You know, Ziwu road is Liu Xiu''s retreat, but also Liu Xiu granary and soldiers through the only place."


    "Once Ziwu road is lost, Liu Xiu will become a lone army."


    "So no matter how many soldiers are stationed in Liu Xiu''s Ziwu Road, once Prime Minister Cao sends troops to attack, Liu Xiu will send troops to rescue."


    "As long as Liu Xiu divides his troops, Liu Xiu''s camp will be empty. At that time, Prime Minister Cao Cheng will spare no effort to attack the camp and capture it at one stroke. "


    Qin Wei''s careful analysis shows that Zhu Yan, Song Yuan and Xue Zhao all agree with each other.


    This plan is quite good.


    Attack where it must be saved.


    No matter what, Liu Xiu must send troops to rescue.


    Even, is the plan highly operational?


    It''s just that Liu Xiu is not an ordinary person. It''s not easy to defeat him.


    As Song Yuan''s eyes turned, he suddenly said, "Prime Minister Cao''s plan is quite good. It''s sure to succeed. Therefore, I agree with this plan, and the Song family fully supports Prime Minister Cao. "


    When Xue Zhao knew Song Yuan''s attitude, he had to make a statement: "the Xue family will also give full support. In this battle, we will win, and we will certainly defeat Liu Xiu. "


    With a smile on his face, Zhu Yan said, "this battle will be won!"


    Three faces are a must to beat Liu Xiu, a heartbeat expression.


    Qin Wei nodded and said: "three are really heroes. OK, let''s go down and get ready. The day when Prime Minister Cao Cheng led his army to attack Liu Xiu''s camp is the day when we set up our troops. "


    "Goodbye!"


    Zhu Yan stood up, turned and left.


    Song Yuan said, "goodbye!"


    Xue Zhao also bowed his hands and left.


    After the three left, they did not talk to each other, but went straight back to their houses.


    After they went back to their houses, they did the same thing. They all changed their clothes and left the residence quietly as ordinary people. They went to Liu Xiu''s camp outside the city.

 Chapter 603

    Three people at the same time, to the camp gate.


    "What a coincidence


    Song Yuan smiles and talks.


    "What a coincidence


    "What a coincidence


    Xue Zhao and Zhu Yan heard the speech and answered at the same time.


    The three looked at each other with bright smiles on their faces. However, in their hearts, they scolded each other for being shameless. Unexpectedly, the leader came to the camp to see Liu Xiu. It was really improper to be a son.


    Three people came to the gate of the camp, let the soldiers pass, then entered the camp.


    When they came to the camp, they bowed to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said, "the three of you are looking for me. What can I do for you?"


    "I am..."


    "I''ll..."


    "I have..."


    The three people didn''t wait for each other to speak, but they all spoke first. Just like this, they all spoke with one voice, and none of them could speak first.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu said, "let''s talk about it first."


    "Yes


    Song Yuan''s face showed a happy look. Liu Xiu asked him to say that although it didn''t mean that Liu Xiuqi valued him, it at least proved that Liu Xiu remembered his name, which was a good thing in itself.


    Song Yuan said, "report back to your excellency. This is what happened. Just before we came to the camp, Qin Wei, the captain of Dongcheng school, listened to Cao Cao''s bewitching and planned to agree that we would revolt against you."


    "Qin Wei said that Cao Cao would send troops to feint at Ziwu Road, and then send troops to attack the camp on a large scale. He asked us to rebel together when Cao Cao attacked the camp. "


    "In order not to beat grass, we all agreed."


    "In order to make the adults prepare early, we go out quietly immediately after we get home, and then come to see the adults."


    Song Yuan looked like a loyal minister and said, "my Lord, you must be careful in this matter. If you don''t pay attention, I''m afraid there will be a huge shock. At that time, he may have been hit by Cao Cao''s calculation. "


    Zhu Yan hastened to add: "Cao min thinks that Qin Wei may be Cao Cao''s people, not what he said. He was bewitched by Cao Cao''s people."


    Xue Zhao said: "I also agree!"


    Three people''s words made Liu Xiu''s expression serious. Cao Cao made some moves. It seems that Cao Cao is not reconciled to his previous failure and still wants to save the situation.


    Liu Xiu looked at the three and asked, "is there any news?"


    Song Yuan shook his head and said, "no more!"


    Zhu Yan and Xue Zhao also nodded slightly and did not speak any more.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "go back, just follow Qin Wei''s agreement and plan. I will arrange the next thing. You three are very good. I will remember your credit. When the war is over, I will be rewarded. "


    The expressions on the faces of the three people were very happy.


    Liu Xiu''s promise is the real benefit.


    Liu Xiu directly invited Pang Tong, Jia Xu and Xu Shu to the camp, briefly described the current situation, and then said: "Cao Cao has set up a plan, intending to build a plank road in the open and cross Chen Cang in the dark. But I think about this strategy carefully. Even if there is no Qin Wei, the plan can be implemented. Why do I have to do more? I think Cao Cao''s plan is more than that. "


    Xu Shu nodded his head and said, "I agree with you. Maybe Qin Wei himself is Cao Cao who deliberately threw it out to disturb the sight of the Lord and disturb our thinking."


    Pang Tong said: "it''s reasonable for yuan to be frank, and I agree with that. Let''s reason about this. Cao Cao sent troops to feint at Ziwu road. We must send troops to attack. According to Qin Wei''s plan, Cao Cao would attack the camp himself. It means that Cao Cao has two armies: the first will attack Ziwu Road, and the second will attack the camp. "


    "But which of these two armies is virtual and which is real?"


    "I''m afraid that Cao Cao might really attack Ziwu Road, regardless of the camp."


    Pang Tong made a random inference and thought about the whole plan.


    Jia Xu stroked his beard and said, "for the time being, there are only two armies. Well, let''s analyze it all the way. First, the Meridian Road. No matter whether Cao Cao''s attack on Ziwu road is true or not, when the Lord knows the news, he must be rescued. "


    "What can Cao Cao do here?"


    "There''s no point in attacking Ziwu road."


    "The key point is that in terms of reinforcements, maybe Cao Cao''s idea is reinforcements."


    Jia Xu said: "if Cao Cao wants to target reinforcements, then when Cao Cao feints or really attacks Ziwu Road, there should be a group of army ambush to attack our reinforcements. It means that Cao Cao has a third army. "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu''s face was full of approval.


    This analysis is very reasonable.


    "Once the reinforcements are ambushed, they are defeated," Liu said. Then Cao Cao''s third army could turn around and join forces to attack Ziwu road. At that time, the pressure on the Meridian Road will be enormous. ""As for our camp, once it is attacked by Cao Cao, it is impossible to divide troops to support Ziwu road."


    "We''re stuck in the middle of the day. Cao Cao''s two armies in the direction of Ziwu road will attack again if they join Cao Cao. "


    Liu Xiu said: "once the midnight noon road falls and the news comes out, the morale of the army will be damaged and the soldiers will be terrified. Under such circumstances, if you want to fight Cao Cao again, you will not be able to win. "


    They talked together and sorted out the whole process.


    Liu Xiu said: "we have analyzed the general situation. Now we need to sort out Cao Cao''s real plan."


    Jia Xu''s eyes narrowed. He twisted his beard under his jaw and said, "Lord, I think Cao Cao''s real purpose is to attack both places. There is no difference between the real and the real. First attack the Meridian Road, let the Lord send soldiers to support, then attack the camp, and hold down the Lord''s forces. Finally, Cao Cao joined forces in the camp. Whether or not Cao Cao can join forces in the end, but once Cao Cao''s plan is implemented, then Ziwu road is certainly dangerous. Cao Cao will certainly attack Ziwu road with all his strength. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and looked at Xu Shu and Pang Tong.


    Xu Shu said: "I agree with Jia Junshi''s analysis and think that Cao Cao''s plans are true."


    "I agree," Pang said


    After the analysis of the three counselors, they formed a unified opinion.


    Liu Xiu said: "now the question is, if so, how to break Cao Cao''s plan? Where is the breakthrough point in this war? "


    Jia Xu laughed and said, "Lord, the breakthrough of this war is in Cao Cao''s camp."


    Liu Xiu knew his elegance after hearing the string song, and said: "the meaning of master Jia is that we also send troops to attack Cao Cao''s camp, so as to make Cao Cao completely become a lone army."


    Jia Xu said: "my Lord is wise!"


    After a compliment, Jia Xu said: "if Cao Cao wants to launch such a large-scale war, it is necessary to use all his troops, otherwise it will be difficult to operate. Once all Cao Cao''s troops are in action, Cao Cao''s rear must be empty. Therefore, the breakthrough of this war lies in Cao Cao''s camp. If you take Cao Cao''s camp, Cao Cao will be defeated. "


    Pang Tong said: "it''s OK for Mr. Jia to attack his surprise, but there is still one problem. According to the plan, we have four battlefields. First, the camp resisted the attack of Cao Cao. Second, divide the troops to rescue and meet Cao Cao''s ambush. Third, the fight on the Meridian Road. Fourth, attack Cao Cao''s camp. These four battlefields need a lot of soldiers. "


    Xu Shu thought about it and said, "at present, our troops are more than 40000. There must be no problem in supporting such a war. It would certainly arouse Cao Cao''s suspicions if a large number of soldiers were sent to Ziwu road. So I think, immediately send a soldier to the Meridian Road, let the garrison at the meridian crossing quietly build fortifications inside the Meridian Road. The geographical location of Ziwu Road, together with 3000 soldiers, is enough to withstand the attack of thousands of troops. "


    Liu Xiu said: "Yuan Zhi''s proposal is reasonable. If the soldiers of Ziwu road were to guard against death, it would be difficult for Cao Cao to conquer Ziwu road even if he had a strong army. Then there were more than 40000 soldiers in our camp. So many soldiers, even if a part of them were sent to leave, were enough to resist Cao Cao''s attack. "


    Jia Xu said: "in this war, we will win and Cao Cao will lose."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes twinkled with brilliance, and he gave orders directly, which made countless people run and prepare for the coming war.

 Chapter 604

    Baling, Cao army camp.


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    Cao Cao''s expression was solemn.


    Cheng Yu stood at the bottom with a look of expectation on her face: "prime minister, the plan has been successful. The news of Liu Wei''s going back to the camp quietly. I think Liu Xiu already knows our plan to feint Ziwu road and actually attack the camp. "


    With a flash in his eyes, Cao Cao said, "in this way, our opportunity has come."


    Cao Cao had enough confidence in his plan.


    Cao Cao will win this battle.


    After defeating Liu Xiu, Cao Cao led his army into Hanzhong and captured Yizhou. As long as Cao Cao owns Yizhou and Liu Xiu''s north, West and East are surrounded by Cao Cao, Liu Xiu will surely lose.


    Cao Yu ordered Cao, Xu Zhang, and Hou Zhen to ban the meeting


    With an order, Cao Cao called all the generals under his command.


    After everyone entered the camp, Cao Cao said, "XiaHouYuan will listen to the order."


    "The end will be here!"


    Xia Hou yuan looked excited and saluted.


    Cao Cao said: "Xia Houyuan, the prime minister gives you ten thousand talents, and you are going to attack Ziwu Dao with all your strength. Are you sure you can take Ziwu Dao?"


    "The prime minister will live up to his high expectations."


    Xia Houyuan saluted with his fist clasped, and his face was solemn.


    He knew the whole plan. He knew that Liu Xiu''s reinforcements could not be killed when he attacked the Meridian Road. Then, in this battle, he will surely win.


    Cao Cao nodded and said, "listen to the forbidden order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Yu Jin stood up and saluted.


    Cao Cao said: "the prime minister gives you ten thousand talents, which means you are lying in ambush on the road from Chang''an to Ziwu road. Once Liu Xiufa rescues Ziwu Road, he blocks the other party''s rescue. Are you sure you can defeat Liu Xiu''s reinforcements? "


    Yu Jin said: "the end will live up to the prime minister''s expectations."


    Cao Cao looked at the rest of his subordinates and said, "the rest of us, follow our prime minister to attack Liu Xiu''s camp. In this war, we must work hard to defeat Liu Xiu''s camp. "


    "Yes


    When they heard the words, they answered with one voice.


    Cao Cao waved the crowd back, and then began to act.


    In order to pretend that there were no troops left, Cao Cao dispatched most of the soldiers out of the camp, with a posture of attacking the Meridian Road with all his strength. It was only on the way that Cao Cao deliberately divided his troops and acted according to the previous plan.


    ¡­¡­


    There are 3000 garrisons in Ziwu Road, and the general of the garrison is named Shan Fei.


    Solo this person, is wenpin under the command of the general, skilled in defense, so wenpin will solo sent to the Meridian Road garrison.


    If Ziwu road is safe, Liu Xiu is safe.


    If the Meridian Road is stable, Liu Xiu is stable.


    Therefore, solo for the meridian defense, is extremely cautious.


    After receiving a message from Liu Xiu that Cao Cao was about to attack Ziwu Road, he acted quickly and arranged the 3000 soldiers under his command to prepare for the next war.


    One order after another was issued, and all the soldiers acted in an orderly manner.


    There are fortifications outside the Meridian Road.


    Today, solo flight is strengthened, and enough fortifications have been built to resist the attack of the enemy.


    Arrange everything, fly alone and wait in the Meridian Road.


    Everything is ready for war.


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, a sentry came running from the Meridian Road. Sentry outside the Meridian Road, turned over and dismounted, then quickly entered the Meridian Road, came to the face of solo, reported: "general, Cao Jun is coming."


    "How many people are there?" he asked


    The sentry replied, "roughly, it''s about 10000."


    "Ten thousand?"


    Shan Fei laughed and said, "Cao Cao really thinks highly of the general. He even prepared 10000 people to attack Ziwu road. It''s a pity that, let alone 10000 people, even 20000 or 30000 people, Cao Cao had to return without success. "


    "More information!"


    Solo big sleeve a whisk, directly under the order.


    The sentry was ordered to withdraw.


    Looking at the soldiers under his command, he roared, "I''m ready to cheer you up. Cao Jun is here. If anyone counsels me, don''t blame me for being ruthless. "


    "General, you don''t know who we are, how can we counsellor?"


    "We will win this battle."


    "Kill, we must kill clean."


    The soldiers stationed in Ziwu road were all murderous and had a plan to deal with Cao''s army.


    The so-called soldiers bear one, will bear a nest.


    He is very good at flying alone and unifying the army. He is even more brave and fearless in killing the enemy, and so are his soldiers. One by one, when they kill the enemy, they are just like wolf cubs, whining and fighting. It''s frightening.Shan Fei was very satisfied with the condition of the soldiers under his command. He turned and walked out of the Meridian Road.


    Outside the Meridian Road, he also arranged for a soldier to garrison.


    In solo''s view, to keep the Meridian Road is naturally a step-by-step defense, step by step to stop the enemy.


    "Dong! Dong! "


    All of a sudden, the battle drum sounded.


    The mighty sound of war drums came from the horizon, and all of a sudden it reached the Meridian Road. With the sound of battle drums, a wriggling black line appeared on the official road in the distance, gradually approaching the Meridian Road.


    This army is a soldier of Cao army.


    The first general was Xia Houyuan.


    Xia Houyuan led ten thousand elite and fast on their way. It wasn''t long before they reached the outside of Ziwu road. XiaHouYuan looked around, there was an arc-shaped fortification 50 steps outside the Meridian Road. Around the defensive offensive, there were rocks and stones that resisted horses and built bases, all of which were used to stop soldiers from rushing.


    "It''s too much for thousands of soldiers to resist my ten thousand talents."


    Xia Hou yuan looked confident and didn''t pay attention to the troops stationed at the Meridian Road.


    On the one hand, Xia Houyuan''s forces are sufficient. On the other hand, Liu Xiu was unable to send troops to support him, which made the soldiers stationed at Ziwu road an isolated army.


    The superposition of the two causes makes Xia Houyuan confident enough.


    After Xia Houyuan approached, he gave the order to attack. One thousand vanguard soldiers rushed forward with a knife and a shield.


    Solo look in the eyes, sneer twice.


    Just rely on the shield, want to break the defense? It''s just too much.


    Seeing Cao''s soldiers approaching, he didn''t even order the archers to attack and waited quietly for a while.


    The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.


    A moment later, the distance between the two sides was less than 30 steps. At this distance, the corner of his mouth raised a smile and his eyes showed a look of expectation.


    "Oh dear!"


    All of a sudden, a scream came from the Cao soldiers.


    The soldier stopped and raised his feet, but the cloth shoes on the soles of his feet were punctured, and the soles of his feet were punctured and bled.


    The rest of the soldiers, too.


    The soldiers at the front were more or less affected.


    "There are Tribulus terrestris, and it''s buried in the ground."


    Suddenly, the soldiers cried out.


    The sound, like a tornado, instantly set off a huge wave among the soldiers. Carefully looking at the underground Tribulus terrestris, so as not to be stabbed by countless soldiers.


    "Come on, come on."


    When Xia Houyuan saw it, he cried out.


    "Dong! Dong! "


    With the sound of war drums, the voice became more and more rapid and powerful, urging 1000 vanguards to march forward. The soldiers were nervous when they heard the drums. But the soldiers had to rush forward, and they could not disobey the orders.


    The soldier walked forward carefully and quickly, trying not to be stuck by the iron tribulus.


    Soon, a thousand soldiers advanced ten steps.


    It''s less than 20 steps from the camp.


    Shan Fei grinned and ordered: "Archer ready!"


    At the first order, one by one, the soldiers bent their bows and took arrows to aim at the Cao soldiers who were rushing in front of them.


    "Shoot the arrow!"


    At the command of solo, the archer let go immediately.


    "Whew! Whew


    The bows and arrows are like rain. The dense bows and arrows are like rain of arrows. In an instant, they are 20 steps away and pierce into the body of Cao''s soldiers. At such a short distance, although the bow and arrow shooting is an undifferentiated attack, there is no need to aim at it at all. It can be said that one arrow is accurate.


    Slowly forward, and the soldiers with shields in their hands, after being shot, although they put up their shields to resist, the formation was in disorder. This chaos, there are countless people stepped on the ground of Tribulus terrestris, the sole of the foot was pierced.


    The screams were continuous.


    Countless soldiers fell to the ground and the attack was immediately damaged.

 Chapter 605

    Looking at the rickety soldiers, Shan Fei said with a sneer, "it''s too much to think about attacking Ziwu road."


    The soldiers of the other side, holding shields, kept approaching.


    Although there are Tribulus Terrestris on the ground, Cao''s soldiers are getting closer and closer.


    Fifteen steps!


    Twelve Steps!


    Ten steps!


    As the distance narrowed to ten steps, solo roared, "crossbow man, get ready."


    At the first order, a row of 100 bowmen came out, lined up, set out their positions, and aimed at the approaching Cao soldiers.


    "Shoot the arrow!"


    Solo order, the Bowman immediately pull the trigger.


    These crossbows are all modified by Huang Yueying, with long range and strong lethality.


    The closer the distance, the more lethal.


    "Whew!"


    The crossbow and arrow broke through the air and immediately reached the front of the shield.


    Bang!


    The crossbow and arrow hit the shield. In an instant, it pierced the crossbow and arrow and directly penetrated the soldier behind the shield. The crossbow went through his chest and killed him.


    More than a hundred crossbows and arrows penetrated the shield.


    The first row of soldiers with shields fell to the ground.


    The number of deaths and injuries is numerous.


    The soldiers who had already approached the Meridian Road retreated. They were forced to retreat step by step by the crossbow. The formation was in chaos.


    Seeing this, Shan Fei sneered, "I''m waiting for your formation to be in chaos."


    Solo suddenly took over a big flag from the soldier''s hand, and the flag swayed in the air.


    In a flash, another 100 soldiers rushed out of the Meridian Road, all standing behind the soldiers with crossbows. Behind each of them were five foot javelins. Each of them had six javelins.


    "Ready!" the solo ordered


    One hundred soldiers were all holding javelin, then leaning back. Under the command of flying alone, they all gathered their waist and started to work.


    A hundred javelins, they shoot in a flash.


    Compared with the short-range lethality of the crossbow, the javelin passed through the air and immediately fell to the ground.


    At this time, the 1000 vanguard troops under Xia Houyuan encountered unprecedented crisis. On the one hand, there are bows and arrows, crossbows and shooting soldiers who are approaching. On the other hand, there are iron tribulus on the ground. Finally, there are javelins in the air.


    There is no way to avoid it.


    Cao''s soldiers, who were on the offensive, had to step back. After a while, they had already stepped back fifty paces.


    This distance is still in range.


    One thousand vanguard troops retreated again and again, and finally had to withdraw from the attack range of crossbows and bows. But along the way, it was blood and bodies.


    One thousand soldiers, one third lost.


    Seeing this, Xia Houyuan was very angry.


    I thought I could easily defeat the other side and gain an advantage, but I didn''t expect to encounter a hard stubble.


    "Archer!"


    Xia Houyuan saw that the soldiers could not charge, so he had to transfer archers.


    The archers under the command of Xia Houyuan took action, rushed up quickly, and then shot at the soldiers under the command of solo. Each side uses its own shield to resist and then attacks.


    Under the cover of archers, Xia Houyuan once again sent soldiers to approach from both wings.


    Solo calm command, see, and issued an order. Only two hundred long spearmen were killed. They were divided into two teams, one team of 100 soldiers, and then they were 20 steps away from the Meridian Road to resist the Cao soldiers.


    Due to the terrain, one hundred soldiers with long guns just took advantage of the terrain.


    "Kill


    The rifleman roared and shot out.


    Cao''s soldiers came to meet him, but even though there were many Cao''s soldiers, they could not give full play to their advantages. Facing the attack of long spearmen, they had no choice but to be beaten back in an instant.


    The soldiers on both wings attacked for a while, and finally failed again.


    If the soldiers on both wings retreat, there will be no need for archers.


    XiaHouYuan had to order a temporary retreat, and the army stopped three miles away. Xia Houyuan sat in front of the military town, thinking about the solution. If you want to solve the Jingzhou army at the mouth of Ziwu Road, you have to work hard.


    "General, I have a suggestion."


    Suddenly, a general came to XiaHouYuan''s side.


    His name is xiahouba. He is XiaHouYuan''s second son. He has outstanding ability and is also a valiant general in the army. In the army, xiahouba never saw XiaHouYuan as his son, and they had only superior subordinate relationship.


    "What do you suggest?" said Xia Houyuan


    Xia Hou said: "a few days ago, we attacked Liu Xiu. We met Liu Xiu and burned him with tung oil. In that case, why don''t we treat people in their own way, directly search for some tung oil, then throw it at the mouth of the valley of Meridian Road, and then ignite it. The smoke of the fire will make the soldiers stationed in the valley unbearable, and the fire will break down the fortifications of the Jingzhou army. In this case, it will be much easier for us to kill again. ""Wonderful


    After hearing this, Xia Houyuan''s eyes brightened.


    It''s a good strategy. It can win without a single soldier.


    XiaHouYuan said: "xiahouba, you should take care of this matter. You should go to the neighborhood immediately and search for tung oil. If not, go back to the camp and get ready. "


    "Yes


    With a smile on his face, Xia Houba turned and went down to prepare.


    Xia Houyuan stopped fighting temporarily and stopped attacking.


    At the mouth of the valley on the Meridian Road, the soldiers were ordered to stand alone.


    He went back to the meridian and checked the defense. A sentry came to the solo and said, "general, Xia Houyuan led his soldiers to stay three miles away. At the same time, he sent a small group of soldiers to the direction of baling."


    Shan Fei said, "it''s OK. Don''t worry about it."


    "Yes


    The sentry turned and stepped down.


    Solo has a confident look in his eyes. He has considered the defense of the meridian. He had already considered all the ways the other side would attack the Meridian Road.


    In this war, Xia Houyuan has no chance of winning.


    Solo quietly waiting, to the afternoon Shenshi, sentinel back to report, XiaHouYuan came again.


    Solo came to the Meridian Road outside, waiting quietly.


    Soon, the two sides formed their own formation.


    XiaHouYuan came to the front of the battle, his eyes fell on the outside of Ziwu Road, and roared: "I will XiaHouYuan, give you another chance. Lay down your arms and surrender now, or you will not be merciful. "


    Shan Fei said: "Xia Houyuan, who are you? It''s just a loser. Ben will be waiting here. It depends on how you take the Wu Road


    Xia Houyuan said: "to face not to face!"


    Shan Fei said, "you can''t measure yourself, you can''t insult yourself."


    XiaHouYuan listened to the words of solo, angry, he directly ordered: "xiahouba, ready to project pottery."


    "I will obey you!"


    After hearing this, Xia Houba immediately took action.


    Behind xiahouba, hundreds of soldiers came up. In the hands of every soldier, there is a big pot. Xiahouba and his soldiers moved forward, less than 50 steps away from the Meridian Road.


    "Shoot!"


    Xiahouba ordered all his subordinates to throw out their pots.


    "Boom!"


    A earthenware pot fell to the ground and broke apart.


    WOW!


    The tung oil in the pottery pot flowed out.


    "Boom! Boom! "


    One voice after another.


    The tung oil in hundreds of pottery pots flowed on the ground, making the ground soaked with countless tung oil.


    "Withdraw!"


    Xia Houba finished all this and took the soldiers to retreat.


    Back in front of the army, Xia Houyuan ordered: "the archers are ready."


    After this order was given, soldiers came out with bows and arrows. Every feather arrow was ignited. The arrow was crackling and burning. The fire was shining with a touch of red light.


    "Shoot the arrow!"


    XiaHouYuan ordered his soldiers to shoot arrows immediately.


    "Whew! Whew


    A feather arrow in the air across, in an instant fell to the ground, after the fire and tung oil contact. In a flash, it started to burn. In particular, the burning place is at the exit of the Meridian Road, which is the position of the tuyere.


    In an instant, the fire broke out.


    In the innumerable firelight, billows thick smoke, rushes the Meridian Road entrance but goes.


    Solo saw this scene, the corner of his mouth rose. As a general stationed in gukou, he naturally anticipated the possibility of being attacked by fire and smoke.


    It''s naive of Xia Houyuan to think that he can win with fire attack.

 Chapter 606

    The fire was full of smoke and dust.


    Because it is difficult for plants to grow in the Meridian Road, even if the fire takes advantage of the wind, it is difficult to invade the Meridian Road.


    But the fire of tung oil burning, but it is into the inside.


    Wave after wave of oil fumes made Jingzhou soldiers stationed at the entrance of Ziwu road rather uncomfortable.


    "Withdraw!"


    The solo didn''t even think about it, so he gave the order to retreat.


    All the soldiers withdrew into the Meridian Road and ran to the middle of the meridian valley. Although the smoke is rich, the Meridian Road is ventilated after all. The more you go in, the less you will be affected.


    Xia Houyuan saw the solo retreat and laughed.


    Even though Jingzhou soldiers had a geographical advantage, it was just so.


    Once you find the right way, it''s easy to beat the opponent.


    Xia Houyuan knew that this was the best time to attack Ziwu road. He didn''t even think about it, so he ordered: "kill!"


    With a command, Xia Houyuan took the lead and rushed to the sea of fire ahead.


    Xia Houyuan knew the influence of smoke, so he covered his mouth and nose one by one, and the cloth that covered his mouth and nose was wet. Xia Houyuan was the first to rush into the sea of fire. When he got close to the place where iron Tribulus terrestris was all over, he stepped on the corpses of soldiers who had died on the ground before, and in an instant came to the entrance of Ziwu road.


    Behind Xia Houyuan, all the ten thousand elite keep up.


    All the soldiers have entered the Meridian Road.


    "Come on, keep up."


    Xia Houyuan is carrying a big gun and looks excited.


    Xiahouba follows XiaHouYuan and keeps running.


    Everyone, they''re on a fast chase.


    Not far ahead, you can see the retreating Jingzhou army.


    This Jingzhou army is the former retreating Jingzhou soldiers.


    Solo led the soldiers to retreat. He looked back and saw that Xia Houyuan led the army to chase him, with a smile on his face. He looked at the soldiers under his command and roared: "sons, retreat quickly. Retreat to the midnight Valley and defend it with the terrain of the valley."


    "Go away!"


    Solo roar, the soldiers can''t wait to escape.


    The faster you go solo, the faster Xia Houyuan chases you.


    Gradually, has been away from the Meridian Road entrance.


    There are hundreds of miles in the course of midnight noon road. It''s impossible to finish it without a few days. The more he went, the more excited he was.


    Because the deeper he goes, the easier it is for him to ambush.


    As the saying goes, never enter the forest, never enter the valley.


    It''s easy to be ambushed in mountains, forests and valleys.


    Now XiaHouYuan directly sent troops to enter, already step by step into the ambush circle. After all, the Meridian Road is the place that solo pilots always control. The inside is winding, and all the landforms inside are familiar to solo pilots.


    Where is suitable for ambush?


    Where is the right place to escape?


    Where is suitable for Tibetan soldiers?


    These landforms are all in the mind of solo flying.


    But XiaHouYuan is different, XiaHouYuan only know pursuit, only want to win solo, completely control the Meridian Road. Even now, Xia Houyuan wants to be able to wipe out the solo army and then go south to Hanzhong.


    Liu Xiu left Hanzhong with his army. Now Hanzhong is empty, and it is hard to defend.


    It''s absolutely easy to attack Hanzhong at this time.


    Xia Houyuan was agitated and roared: "kill, kill with all your strength."


    The soldiers under the command of Xia Houyuan are in a fast sprint.


    Ten thousand people in the narrow Meridian Road, the team winding long, more than two miles away.


    The front of the Jingzhou soldiers fleeing is also the case, the team pulled long.


    Time goes by as time goes by.


    The sun is setting, and it''s almost evening.


    All of a sudden, a roaring sound came from the front.


    "Boom!"


    "Boom!"


    It''s like a landslide, like a tsunami, and the whole meridian road is shaking.


    Xia Houyuan felt the vibration of the ground and the sound coming back from the front. He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He ran into the Meridian Road for at least one or two hours. For such a long time, he had already gone deep into the Meridian Road.


    For a while, it''s impossible to go out again.


    Xia Houyuan led his soldiers to rush forward. After running for less than half a quarter of an hour, he saw the situation ahead.


    I saw the road ahead, has accumulated a piece of rock. Each of these big stones weighs at least several hundred jin. The big stones stacked layer upon layer, and finally blocked the way forward.


    "Boom! Boom! "


    All of a sudden, one third of the team was on the spot, and countless big stones suddenly rolled down the hillside.


    The stone fell down and killed more than ten soldiers in an instant.All the soldiers were injured.


    Wave after wave of stones fell, in a flash, this place was completely cut off. Then, in two-thirds of the rear area, countless big stones were smashed down, once again dividing the soldiers under the command of Xia Houyuan.


    For a time, the formation of Xia Houyuan''s soldiers was in chaos.


    It''s a trick!


    In everyone''s heart, there is such an idea.


    The soldiers wanted to retreat, but at the back, there were big stones rolling down and hitting the Meridian Road. Stones fell, blocking nearly ten thousand Cao soldiers. The most important thing is that when the front and back stones blocking the road are piled up, they are nearly five feet high, which is difficult to climb.


    Xia Houyuan''s heart, incomparable tension.


    If you don''t think about it, you''ll be in trouble.


    Xia Houyuan ordered the soldiers to push the big stone in front of him. However, the stone did not move and was not affected at all. And at this time, the soldiers in the Meridian Road were crowded and crowded, so it was difficult to climb.


    "Xia Houyuan, I will fly alone. I''ve been waiting here for a long time."


    Solo flight up the mountain from the road ahead, appeared on the hillside.


    The soldiers under the command of solo also appeared on both sides of the mountain.


    Looking down from a high position, he has a bright smile on his face.


    Three thousand soldiers fought against ten thousand of Xia Houyuan, and the losses of his soldiers were almost negligible, but he defeated Xia Houyuan. After the war, he will be promoted.


    Shan Fei said: "Xia Houyuan, lay down your arms and surrender. You will be spared your life."


    At this point, solo is in control.


    Xia Houyuan''s face changed greatly, but he still tried his best to stabilize his mood and said with a smile: "solo, you may not know the real war. After you are attacked, Liu Xiu will send soldiers to rescue you. Prime Minister Cao has already sent soldiers to ambush you. "


    "In this battle, the soldiers under Liu Xiu who came to the rescue will surely be defeated."


    "When the ambush is defeated, the prime minister will attack Liu Xiu with all his strength when Liu Xiu''s camp is short of troops."


    "There is no doubt that Liu Xiu will be defeated in this battle. Although you have the upper hand now, Liu Xiu is defeated. You are rootless Ping. Even if you ambush the general and win, it will not affect the overall situation. "


    "Liu Xiu will be defeated in this battle."


    Xia Houyuan still said with hope: "solo, now you surrender to the general, the prime minister will reward you, or even reuse you. Liu Xiu can''t win, so you have to surrender. "


    "Ha ha ha..."


    After listening to it, solo laughs mercilessly.


    Eyes, showing disdain.


    Up to now, Xia Houyuan is still so arrogant and self righteous, but he doesn''t know that everything is in Liu Xiu''s expectation.


    When Xia Houyuan heard the laughter of solo, he had a bad feeling in his heart.


    It doesn''t look good!


    However, Xia Houyuan still had a solemn expression and said: "if you fly alone, those who know current affairs are heroes. In this war, you can only submit to the prime minister, and you can only succeed if you submit to the prime minister. Otherwise, you will lose in the end. "


    Shan Fei tut tut said: "general Xia Hou, you really have a sharp mouth. It''s a pity that you won''t be a judge. But you think Cao Cao calculated Liu Jingzhou, but you don''t know that Liu Jingzhou is in charge of all this. Every move of Cao Cao is under the control of Liu Jingzhou. You think that Cao Cao sent troops to ambush the reinforcements, but you don''t know that Liu Jingzhou sent troops to rescue, either to rescue or to destroy Cao Cao''s ambush. As for Cao Cao''s sending troops to attack the camp, that''s a joke. Can Cao Cao break the camp with his ability? "


    The words of solo made Xia Houyuan''s heart sink.


    I''m afraid this war is mysterious.

 Chapter 607

    Xia Houyuan''s eyes were sharp, and said: "flying alone, even if you ambush on the mountain, you have the design of bow and arrow, but the valley in the Meridian Road is rugged, we can still hide under the rocks, you want to use the design of bow and arrow, you can''t kill everyone."


    Solo laughed and looked scornful in his eyes.


    "Ridiculous, ridiculous!"


    Solo''s eyes are full of sarcasm.


    Up to now, Xia Houyuan is still fighting in the corner. He is really immortal.


    Shan Fei said: "XiaHouYuan, you have nearly ten thousand people, dense. Ben will shoot with bow and arrow. How many soldiers do you think are left under your command? "


    Xia Hou yuan''s face became pale and powerless.


    Now all the soldiers are blocked, and XiaHouYuan''s soldiers can''t resist.


    Even if there are rocks to resist, it can not cover too much.


    Most of the soldiers will die here.


    Xia Houyuan was silent, his expression became helpless, and his eyes were filled with despair. Originally, he was dominant, but in a flash, he fell into the middle of the Jedi.


    Suddenly, an idea came into Xia Houyuan''s mind.


    Perhaps at the beginning, the other side is waiting for their own fire attack, and then chase into the Meridian Road.


    The ambush in the valley was obviously prepared a long time ago.


    Shan Fei continued: "Xia Houyuan, let me tell you another news. If you attack Ziwu road with fire, you will also treat people with your own way. You will also dump countless tung oil in the valley and then burn it. Compared with archery, fire is the best strategy. You are trapped in the Meridian Road, can you escape the fire


    Xia Hou yuan''s face became more desperate.


    Fire!


    Treat him in his own way!


    All of a sudden, XiaHouYuan''s heart became extremely lost.


    This battle is defeated!


    What''s more, losing so hopelessly.


    Xia Hou yuan took a deep breath, he roared: "solo, you are cruel. But even if you are better at it, Ben will never surrender. "


    After hearing this, Shan Fei asked, "Xia Houyuan, I will ask you again. Are you really unwilling to surrender?"


    "Never surrender!"


    Xia Houyuan didn''t want to answer directly.


    As Cao Cao''s confidant, how could he submit to Liu Xiu?


    Shan Fei nodded and said, "since you don''t want to surrender, you''re not welcome. The people below listen, who killed Xia Houyuan will have spared his life and recommended him in front of Liu Jingzhou. "


    Brush!


    Xia Houyuan''s face changed greatly.


    What a vicious solo.


    XiaHouYuan side a pro guard to protect, began to watch out to all the soldiers.


    Now the situation has become quite critical.


    "Ah


    Suddenly, a scream came from xiahouba''s mouth.


    A young general stabbed Xia Houba to death and yelled: "brothers, we all have wives and children. We can''t die here. Kill, kill XiaHouYuan. "


    Xia Houba was killed, which immediately set off the situation.


    The soldiers at the front began to rush towards XiaHouYuan.


    Wave after wave of soldiers charged to XiaHouYuan, but they were killed by XiaHouYuan''s guards many times.


    More and more people are killed and injured.


    After fighting for a while, Xia Houyuan''s bodyguards were all dead and wounded. A group of soldiers surrounded XiaHouYuan, with a bloodthirsty look in their eyes. Xia Houyuan held a big gun in his hand, and his eyes were murderous. He also bathed in blood, just like a bloody man.


    Shan Fei praised XiaHouYuan''s toughness and said once again, "XiaHouYuan, you surrender now. You will not die."


    Xia Houyuan roared: "absolutely impossible."


    "Come on, who''s going to kill me? You are a bunch of heartless things. "


    "Those who want to die, come and kill me!"


    "Whoever wants to kill me, be ready to be killed."


    XiaHouYuan completely rampaged, people completely crazy, become bloodthirsty incomparable. His style made the soldiers who surrounded him feel frightened and dare not act rashly.


    Xia Houyuan is so good that he can''t help but praise him.


    What a fierce general!


    Unfortunately, they are not on their own side.


    Shan Fei ordered: "if you don''t kill Xia Houyuan, you will die. You can do it or not. "


    This sentence, instantly detonated the situation in the Meridian Road.


    Among the soldiers around Xiahou yuan, a general roared and said: "general Xiahou, don''t blame the end general. Kill He was carrying a knife, waving it to kill Xia Houyuan.


    People in the air, sharp blade.


    Xia Hou yuan''s eyes were calm and said, "if you want to kill me, you have to have the ability to kill me."


    At that time, Xiayuan said that when he was about to shoot his spear out of his hand, the general fell into his heart.This scene made the generals around Xia Houyuan scared.


    Every eye is cautious.


    It is not worthwhile to surround and kill XiaHouYuan. It is not worthwhile to lose one''s own life.


    "Here, who''s going to kill me? Come on


    "If you want to kill me, you have to think about whether you have such ability."


    Xia Houyuan stood up with a gun, and his whole body exuded a wild and fierce momentum, which was daunting.


    "Kill


    A soldier roared and killed Xia Houyuan with a knife.


    Xia Houyuan''s big gun poked out and hit the blade. The point of the gun went straight forward and thrust into the soldier''s shoulder. The soldier''s eyes were quick and his hands were hot. He caught the gun with both hands.


    At this instant, the two soldiers saw this and rushed up with their swords.


    The blade fell on the back of XiaHouYuan.


    Xia Houyuan took out his big gun, swung his big gun and killed the two soldiers just now. It''s just that there are two more scars on his body. The blood is flowing and the flesh is flying. It''s terrible.


    "Hoo! Hoo


    Xia Hou yuan breathed heavily, his face was slightly pale, and there was a touch of pain in his eyes.


    However, Xia Houyuan said nothing.


    No pain!


    Don''t say a word!


    It''s so depressing, it''s daunting.


    Flying alone on the hillside to watch, for XiaHouYuan, he has no superfluous words. This man is really powerful.


    A school Captain stood in front of solo and said, "my Lord, why don''t you shoot and kill Xia Houyuan? If it was archery, XiaHouYuan would have been dead. "


    Shan Fei said, "if you shoot or not, it''s just that Xia Houyuan will die sooner or later. We don''t shoot arrows, let the people below kill Xia Houyuan, they will be honest and obedient


    After hearing the words, the captain stopped talking.


    Solo''s admiration for Xia Houyuan doesn''t mean he will change his plan.


    We should put the overall situation first.


    There are detailed plans for Solo flights.


    Xia Houyuan stood up with his gun, but the more he fought, the more his physical strength became weak, and even the blood flowed, which made him lack of Qi and blood. From time to time, double shadows appeared in front of him, and he could not make a clear judgment.


    I''m dying!


    In his heart, Xia Houyuan knew his situation.


    "Kill


    Xia Houyuan raised his gun and roared, and took the initiative to fight forward. The tip of the gun flashed a little light in the air, and many cold fronts stabbed into the front soldiers'' bodies in an instant, bringing out a lot of blood.


    The gun is like a dragon. No one can stop it.


    More and more people died under the gun of Xia Houyuan.


    But in the fighting, the wounds left on Xia Houyuan''s body gradually increased.


    This is true on the back and chest.


    "Ah


    Xia Houyuan screamed, his back a deep pain, suddenly feel sharp sharp weapon pierced the spine, make him incomparably uncomfortable. This pause, around suddenly there are countless swords, spears and halberds to kill, a head of poke in Xia Houyuan.


    "I''m not willing!"


    "Sanchi Qingfeng hasn''t killed the enemy yet. I''m not willing, I''m not willing!"


    Xia Houyuan endured the pain, sweeping with a big gun in his hand and the tip of the gun, killing the people around him.


    But XiaHouYuan''s body, but left a scar.


    He was also stabbed in the chest.


    The heart was stabbed a knife, the summer Hou yuan body then could not support. He held the gun in his right hand and stood still on the ground. Just before his eyes, but gradually dark down, people have lost their power.


    Plop!


    Xia Houyuan''s body no longer supported, suddenly fell to the ground.


    The death of a famous general is related to this.


    Looking at the death of Xia Houyuan, Shan Fei ordered: "wait for everyone, those who are willing to surrender. Put all the weapons to one side, and then start to move away the stones piled up on the Meridian Road and walk out of the Meridian Road. "


    An order was issued, and Cao''s soldiers in Ziwu road were pardoned.

 Chapter 608

    When Xia Houyuan led his troops to attack Ziwu Road, the news came back to the barracks outside Chang''an city.


    Knowing that the plan had begun, Liu Xiu immediately ordered wenpin to lead 10000 soldiers to the rescue. Among the ten thousand soldiers, there are fifteen Ximen soldiers led by shamoko.


    These 10000 soldiers are the elite of the soldiers in the barracks.


    Wenpin knew that there was an ambush in front of him, so he kept sending out sentinels to get information.


    The road ahead is in wenpin''s mind.


    All the way to Ziwu road is wide road. There is no bridge or mountain, so there is no ambush place.


    The only place is a bamboo forest on the way. This bamboo forest is about five li in circumference. To get to Ziwu Road, you need to pass through the bamboo forest.


    Wenpin''s target is bamboo forest.


    He decided that Cao Cao''s ambush was hidden in the bamboo forest. So this time, wenpin has already thought of a good idea, ready to give Cao Jun soldiers a big surprise in the bamboo forest.


    The army had been walking for an hour and was close to the bamboo forest.


    Shamoko looked forward and said, "general Wen, you said Cao Jun was ambushing in the bamboo forest. We are going to arrive at the bamboo forest. You haven''t said how to deal with them."


    Wen pin said, "don''t worry, general Sha. I''m ready."


    "Oh, are you ready?" Shamoko looked excited and said, "what have you prepared? I don''t know


    Wenpin said, "don''t worry, general. When you get to the bamboo forest, you will know."


    Shamoko shook his head and said, "I''m tired of people like you. They are always scheming."


    Wen pin laughed and didn''t answer.


    Although he had average ability to run the army, he was extremely brave. He was also one of Liu Xiu''s close relatives, so he had a special status. Wenpin was not willing to argue with him.


    Shamoko was bored and went on with the team.


    Less than a hundred steps away from the bamboo forest, wenpin ordered to stop and stop.


    Wen pin raised his hand and ordered: "Zhou Jun, move."


    "No!"


    Zhou Jun gave a reply.


    In his early thirties, Zhou Jun was a school captain under Wen pin.


    He had been arranged by Wen pin for a long time. Now, with Wen pin''s order, he took his soldiers to the bamboo forest. Zhou Jun took away 500 soldiers. These 500 soldiers, all carrying a pottery pot, then quickly spread out and ran around the bamboo forest.


    This move fell into the eyes of Cao''s soldiers in the bamboo forest.


    After the spy saw it, he did not report the news for the time being, but waited quietly. After a while, Jingzhou soldiers entered the edge of the bamboo forest, opened the pottery pot and poured liquid to the ground.


    Spies quietly close, smelling the smell of liquid, suddenly changed face.


    Tung oil!


    The other party plans to burn bamboo forest!


    The detective was startled, and quietly quit, then ran to the depths of the bamboo forest.


    Yu Jin led his troops to ambush in the bamboo forest, hiding in the deepest place to avoid being found. He waited quietly. In this war, his task was not only to intercept, but also to defeat the other side''s reinforcements.


    He has a mind but not a mind, and he is sure to win this battle.


    After all, the other party did not expect that they would lay an ambush in the bamboo forest.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, the voice of the spy came back.


    In the voice, there was more haste and panic.


    Seeing the spy come back, Yu Ban said with a straight face, "what''s the point of being panic stricken? Are you not afraid that the news will scare Liu Xiu''s reinforcements? "


    The sentry came to Yu Jin and said, "general, there''s something wrong. Liu Xiu''s reinforcements found us. They stopped a hundred paces away, but they sent a team of soldiers into the bamboo forest and poured tung oil. Now, Jingzhou soldiers are moving all over the edge of the bamboo forest. "


    Brush!


    Yu Jin''s face suddenly changed.


    Set fire to the forest!


    How is that possible?


    How could Liu Xiu''s army know that he was ambushing in the mountains.


    In Yu Jin''s heart, there are countless question marks.


    "There''s a fire. There''s a fire in the north of the bamboo forest."


    All of a sudden, a soldier came running quickly and yelled. The voice of the soldier was filled with fear and uneasiness. In the bamboo forest, it was August. The weather was hot, and the bamboo leaves on the ground were dry. When there was a fire, they would burn immediately. The fire was so fast that it was hard to resist.


    "General, there''s a fire in the west of the bamboo forest."


    A moment later, another soldier came back, looking flustered.


    "General, there''s a fire on the east side of the bamboo forest."


    "General, there''s a fire in the south of the bamboo forest."


    Successive soldiers rushed back, and when they reported one by one, they looked flustered and even more frightened.


    In August, the fire burns, especially in all directions. The whole bamboo forest will soon burn up. Yujin has ten thousand soldiers under his command, all of them are hidden in it. Once the bamboo forest fire burns, all the soldiers will be buried.At this moment, Yu Jin is facing the biggest crisis.


    Yu ban ordered: "withdraw, we withdraw from the bamboo forest."


    When he gave the order, a general asked, "General Yu, which direction shall we go to break through?"? Is it going to break through in the direction of Ziwu valley or in the direction of Chang''an? "


    Yu Jin ordered: "break out in the direction of Chang''an and fight head-on with Liu Xiu''s reinforcements. The prime minister gave us the task of stopping this army and annihilating it. If we retreat without fighting, the war in the direction of meridian will be affected. "


    "Yes


    All the soldiers got the order and went to arrange it immediately.


    "Dong! Dong


    In the bamboo grove, the battle drums began to ring.


    Ten thousand soldiers hiding in the bamboo forest all moved quickly. Under the leadership of Yu Jin, they ran to Chang''an City, where wenpin garrison was.


    Outside the bamboo grove, wenpin saw the fire burning, and his face looked majestic.


    There''s a fire!


    The war has begun.


    Unfortunately, the beginning means the end.


    There is no suspense about this war.


    Wenpin watched the bamboo forest burning in all directions, the smoke rolling into the sky, and the fire filled the sky. The battle was really intoxicating.


    At the time of the fire, Wen pin had ordered his soldiers to guard the bamboo forest. Even in the direction leading to Ziwu road behind the bamboo grove, wenpin sent troops to bypass and block the road to avoid retreat.


    In this war, wenpin wanted to wipe out all the Cao soldiers.


    Shamoko stood beside wenpin and said, "general Wen, I''ve convinced you. How many people will be killed by your fire. It''s terrible. It''s terrible. "


    Wenpin said coldly: "the two armies are at war. They are in charge of their own affairs and perform their own duties. Since they are our enemies, there is no way. If you die, I will die. If I don''t kill them, they will kill me. "


    The fire began to burn and grow.


    In wenpin''s eyes, the firelight seems to be shining with a majestic light.


    "Here it is


    All of a sudden, wenpin''s eyes brightened.


    There was a twinkle of excitement in his eyes.


    The decisive battle of this war has finally come.


    In the bamboo forest, Yu Jin and his soldiers rushed out quickly. It''s just that around the bamboo forest, there''s a blaze of fire, which is very uncomfortable. The smell of choking smoke is also unbearable.


    The soldiers under Yu Jin are now in a sea of fire.


    "Come on, let''s go out, let''s get out of the fire."


    Yu Jin roared and charged with the soldiers. Rao was like this, but Yu Jin was also extremely uncomfortable.


    "Crackling!"


    The fire is burning and the bamboo forest is booming.


    The whole bamboo forest fell into a sea of fire.


    "Ah, help, I don''t want to die, I don''t want to die!"


    "Let me, don''t stand in my way, I''m going out."


    "Get out of here!"


    At this moment, the soldiers in the rear were irresistible and caught in the fire. They were all on fire and it was difficult to control the fire. There was a fire all around, so we couldn''t escape from it, so we had to rush outside.


    At this time, the soldiers at the front finally rushed out.


    The soldiers rushed out for a while to celebrate, constantly slapping the flames on their bodies, but in a moment, the sharp sound of breaking the air rang out.


    "Whew! Whew


    A sharp arrow through the air, in the air across a trace, straight out of the Cao soldiers.


    "Puchi! Wheezing


    A round of arrow rain, directly into the soldier''s body.


    As soon as the soldiers got out of the fire, they turned around and were shot into a sieve by the bow and arrow. They fell to the ground directly, and their eyes were even more unwilling. As soon as they escaped from their lives, they did not expect to encounter such a situation.

 Chapter 609

    All the Cao soldiers who rushed out in the first wave were killed.


    Everybody, they''ve been shot with bows and arrows.


    The soldiers in the front were dead, but the Cao soldiers in the rear were still in the sea of fire, and they still rushed forward regardless of themselves. One by one in order to survive, whistling forward.


    Only when they rushed out did they find that the front was also dead.


    Fire is merciless!


    The arrow is even colder!


    Countless Cao soldiers rushed out, but they died in constant battle.


    Wenpin was cold hearted and did not send troops at all.


    Under the rush, countless soldiers fell into a pool of blood.


    Shamoko watched as the archers kept shooting out the soldiers, and he could not help beating a cicada. He used to fight with Liu Xiu in the past. It was all about fighting on the battlefield, fighting directly, fighting for life and death. But the killing in front of us is very different.


    Worse!


    More ruthless!


    Even colder!


    The expression on shamoko''s face became extremely dignified.


    The killing continued. More and more Cao soldiers rushed out, and the bow and arrow could not be shot for a while. But the more soldiers rushed out, the more embarrassed they were. Not only their clothes were on fire, but even their hair was on fire.


    In the air, there was even a smell of burnt meat.


    I don''t know if it was burned by people. I think it smells good. But those who know the situation feel faintly nauseous.


    Think of Cao Jun soldiers trapped in them, struggling and screaming, and finally died in them.


    That scene is really numbing.


    Yu Jin, surrounded by soldiers, has rushed out of the bamboo forest. But at the moment, Yu Jin has been dizzy with burning, and even his hair and beard have been affected.


    Everyone, it''s the same.


    Hesitant bamboo forest in the smoke, choking nose incomparable.


    The soldiers who came out of the bamboo forest lost their fighting capacity one by one. I don''t even know where to throw my weapons.


    Facing the bow and arrow, there is no strength to resist.


    Surrender!


    Yu Jin thought of this idea in an instant.


    At this moment, we can only surrender.


    Otherwise, he will die.


    Yu Jin ordered: "surrender, we surrender!"


    Plop!


    Yu Jin knelt down directly, and the rest of the soldiers who rushed out of the forest knelt down one after another. Even Yu Jin knelt down and surrendered, let alone they? It''s impossible to resist.


    Seeing this, Wen pin showed a smile on his face and said: "order the archer, delay the attack!"


    The order was given, and the archers stopped attacking.


    The soldiers who rush out of the bamboo forest are no longer shot. After they escape one by one, they lie on the ground and breathe heavily. The more soldiers rush out, the more miserable they are, because the longer they stay in the sea of fire.


    As time went by, more and more Cao soldiers rushed out.


    It''s just that everyone is in a mess.


    Half an hour later, all the soldiers in the fire came out.


    Unfortunately, these people are all in rags, as if they were beggars.


    With a wave of wenpin''s hand, his soldiers immediately surrounded him and surrounded everyone. Wen pin looked at these people with calm eyes and said, "who is the chief General?"


    "I am!"


    Yu Jin stood up, his head was still a little dizzy.


    After all, he had been in the mountains for such a long time. He was sick all over and his head was heavy.


    Wenpin said, "is that you?"


    Yu Jin said, "I''m under the ban."


    Wenpin''s eyes narrowed and said: "Yujin, I will know you. Under the command of Cao Cao, you are also a famous general. "


    Yu Ban''s face is hot when he mentions the word "famous general". The defeat in this war is so tragic that it is not a famous general. The soldiers under his command suffered countless losses, but the soldiers under Wen pin''s command did not lose a single soldier, and the two sides made decisions.


    Yu Jin said: "general Wen, please allow me to count the losses."


    "Yes


    Wen pin nodded and did not interfere.


    Yu Jin ordered to count the number of soldiers. When the count was over, Yu Jin knew the loss and looked gloomy. In this war, he brought 10000 people, but now only 4000 people are left, which means 6000 people are dead. Out of the bamboo forest, some of them died, but most of them died in the bamboo forest.


    Yu Jin''s face was gloomy and his expression was extremely lost.


    Wen pin has no sympathy on his face. If he loses, his soldiers will suffer.


    There is nothing to sympathize with.


    Wenpin said, "General Yu, I''m sorry for you to stay here for a while. We''ll return to the camp after a while."


    "Why?"


    Yu Jin asked.


    Wen pin''s face was smiling. Cao Cao thought he had a plan, but he had already fallen into the trap of his master. It''s not only you who are being calculated, but also the troops who attack Ziwu road and even Cao Cao who wants to attack the camp."Hiss!"


    Yu Jin took a deep breath and looked shocked.


    How could that be?


    How could Liu Xiu see through the plan and even plot against them?


    Wen pin no longer took charge of the ban. He looked at Sha Moke and said, "Lao Sha, you send a team of soldiers and then patrol along the way. If you meet the spies sent by Cao Cao, you will kill all of them, and you will not leave any of them."


    "Yes


    Shamoko gave an order with a smile.


    It''s easy to win this battle, even without a single soldier, but shamoko has no sense of achievement, because he was not sent to play at all, even to fight.


    The fighting on this battlefield has subsided, but the fire is still burning.


    "Da! Dada


    On the edge of the bamboo forest, on another road.


    A cavalry is running fast and on his way.


    This cavalry is a solo.


    After passing through the bamboo forest, the cavalry saw the banner belonging to wenpin. He quickly approached, less than a hundred steps away, was stopped by soldiers. The sentinel explained his intention and was taken to wenpin.


    The sentinel knelt down on one knee and said, "general Wen, we won the battle of Ziwu road. The enemy killed XiaHouYuan and xiahouba, and nearly ten thousand soldiers under XiaHouYuan surrendered. "


    Wen pin nodded and said, "I know. Go back and tell Shan Fei to continue guarding the Meridian Road."


    "Yes


    The sentry turned to his horse and left again.


    Yu Jin also heard the news, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his face showed an incredible look, murmured: "how can it be, how can XiaHouYuan be killed? General Wen, how is the meridian road built? "


    Wen pin shook his head and said, "I don''t know how to set up an ambush. I would not have known such a thing. "


    Yu Jin sighed, helpless.


    Lost!


    In this war, the prime minister really lost.


    Yu Jin just thought that he hoped that Cao Cao would not fall into danger, so that he would be taken. Once Cao Cao is captured, the forces under Cao Cao''s command will be in great turmoil.


    When Wen pin stayed in place, Cao Cao''s army had already moved out.


    This time, Cao Cao led 20000 elites to Liu Xiu''s camp.


    When the army arrived outside the camp, the drums were beating and the trumpets were blaring.


    Cao Cao lined up outside Liu Xiu''s camp and looked at Liu Xiu standing in the camp. With a bright smile on his face, he said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, the prime minister is here again. This time, you will be defeated. "


    Liu xiulang laughed and said, "Prime Minister Cao, I''m afraid you will be disappointed. Are you still waiting for Tan Wei of Chang''an City? I tell you that Qin Wei has been arrested. He controls the east city, also already in my official''s hand. I would also like to thank you. With Qin Wei as a breakthrough, the spies you planted in Chang''an have been uprooted. "


    When Cao Cao heard the speech, his face showed a touch of anger. But in an instant, Cao Cao regained his calm. He said coldly, "I''m not afraid to tell you that the reason why the prime minister asked Qin Wei to contact you is that he did it on purpose. Qin Wei is just the abandoned son of the prime minister. "


    "What an abandoned son!"


    Liu xiulang laughed and said, "it''s a pity that Qin Wei worked for you and ended up like this."


    Cao Cao said: "the prime minister can defeat you, and Qin Wei''s family will naturally become a marquis."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said with disdain, "I''m afraid it''s not easy for the prime minister to defeat me. You know, I have absolute strength. Prime Minister Cao, you are so naive. "


    Cao Cao looked confident and felt sure to win his plan.


    Cao Cao said, "Liu Xiu, do you really think so? Hahaha, I''m not afraid to tell you that Qin Wei just misled you. The prime minister is not feigning the Meridian Road, but a real attack. In addition, the prime minister also laid ambush to rob and kill the soldiers you sent to rescue the Meridian Road. "

 Chapter 610

    Cao Cao, who said his plan, had endless pride on his face.


    In this battle, he will win.


    Liu Xiu heard the plan, knew that the Meridian Road was really ambushed, knew that the reinforcements were ambushed, what would be the mood? What kind of expression would it be?


    For a moment, Cao Cao''s heart was full of pride.


    Cao Cao stares at Liu Xiu and pays close attention to his changes. Unfortunately, Liu Xiu''s look was as usual, without any change, and his posture was as usual as before.


    This scene disappointed Cao Cao.


    I didn''t expect that Liu Xiu didn''t move.


    Cao Cao said in a loud voice: "Liu Xiu, maybe your soldiers on the Meridian Road have been defeated. The reinforcements you sent have also been defeated. "


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "Cao Cao, you don''t have to be like this. My officer arranged for soldiers to be stationed at the Meridian Road. Three thousand garrisons are stationed. Even if you have thousands of troops, you can''t break the Meridian Road. "


    "Ha, how brave you are


    After hearing this, Cao Cao couldn''t help laughing.


    Liu Xiu said: "it''s not to be brave, it''s because I have enough confidence."


    "Brag!"


    Cao Cao still didn''t believe it.


    Liu Xiu looked at Cao Cao and said, "prime minister, do you want to attack the camp?"


    Cao Cao said, "don''t attack for the time being. When the news of the fall of Ziwu road comes, it''s not too late for me to attack again."


    Now Liu Xiu is stationed in the camp. If Cao Cao attacks, he may not be able to capture it. Even though Liu Xiu sent military aid, there were still soldiers in Liu Xiu''s camp, so Cao Cao was waiting. Once the news of Ziwu road came, Liu Xiu was defeated.


    When Liu Xiu heard Cao Cao''s words, he had a smile on his face.


    Cao Cao did not attack for the time being, and it took time for his plan to be implemented.


    Well, there''s a reason to delay.


    Liu Xiu drove his horse out and said, "in that case, would the prime minister like to sit down and have a drink?"


    Cao Cao said, "why don''t you dare?"


    Immediately, Cao Cao also stepped forward.


    Xu Chu worried about Cao Cao''s safety and followed him.


    Liu Xiu laughed and didn''t care at all, but accompanied by Deng Zhan, he came to the middle of the two armies. With a wave of his hand, Liu Xiu let his men bring up two tables and two pots of wine.


    Liu Xiu and Cao Cao each had a pot of wine and took their seats.


    Liu Xiu took his wine pot and poured a glass of wine. He worshipped Cao Cao and drank it.


    "If the prime minister is worried about poison, he can let the soldiers have a try first," Liu said


    "Prime minister, I will have a try."


    Xu Chu didn''t even think about it, so he took up the wine pot and poured a little wine into his mouth. Then he nodded slightly and stood aside.


    Liu Xiu looked in his eyes and said, "Xu Chu, it''s no use trying like this. You have to pour the wine into the prime minister''s glass and drink it again. What if the wine cup is contaminated with a kind of medicine and it will be poisonous when it comes to wine? "


    With these words, Liu Xiu looks at Xu Chu jokingly.


    Xu Chu thought this was reasonable.


    What if it''s really toxic?


    Xu Chu reached for the cup, but Cao Cao stopped him. Cao Cao stared at Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Jingzhou, the leader of the state, is magnificent and broad-minded. How can he poison him secretly? You look down on Liu Jingzhou. "


    Xu Chu said: "know the face, do not know the heart!"


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "the prime minister really has doubts in his heart. Just now, he was suspicious in his heart, but he cheated me with some words. If I had any doubts just now, I''m afraid the prime minister would have thought that the cup was poisonous. "


    Cao Cao said with a smile, "you think too much."


    With these words, Cao Cao took the jug, poured a glass of wine, looked up and drank it.


    After a glass of wine, Cao Cao said: "Liu Jingzhou, I met you in Nanyang County quite early. At the beginning, I knew you could rise. I didn''t expect that your speed was so fast. In a short period of two or three years, you can be regarded as the speed of annexing Jiaozhou and seizing Yizhou. "


    Liu xiuxiao said: "the prime minister has wiped out everything in the north. If I slow down, I''m afraid I have to wait for the slaughter. Simply, I''m not slow under the weather. "


    Cao Cao said: "sure enough, the world''s heroes, only the king and the ears."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "prime minister, Yizhou is in my hands, and Chang''an is in my hands. Even if the news of your defeat reaches Liangzhou, Liangzhou will be in my hands. It won''t be long before you lose. "


    Cao Cao said, "are you too arrogant?"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "it''s not arrogance, it''s self-confidence."


    Cao Cao said, "where do you get your confidence?"


    Liu Xiu said: "strength builds confidence."


    Cao Cao burst out laughing and said, "once the Meridian Road is lost, you will be completely isolated. At that time, I will see how you have the strength. Liu Xiu, you are a talented person. I value you very much. As long as you return to your prime minister, you and I will jointly govern the world of the Great Han, and we will certainly rebuild the Great Han and make him stronger than ever before. "Liu Xiu said: "I think that if the prime minister is obedient to me, he will be able to recreate a great man. Xu Shao commented on the prime minister, saying that the prime minister was a hero in troubled times and a capable minister in prosperous times. Under my command, the prime minister can only be a capable minister. "


    Cao Cao said, "I have courage. I respect you with your courage."


    When the wine was filled, Cao Cao took the quilt to Liu Xiu.


    "Prime minister, please!"


    Liu Xiu picked up his glass and drank it.


    Cao Cao looked at Liu Xiu and said, "I think it''s really enviable that Liu Biao has such a tiger in his grave. If Cao ang, the eldest son of prime minister, does not die, he should be as talented as you. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "young master ang is immortal. Hehe, prime minister, why does young master ang die? At the beginning, Zhang Xiu, why did she rebel against you even after she surrendered? "


    Cao Cao''s face turned black when he heard the speech.


    Speaking of this, it''s a black history.


    If it wasn''t for Cao Cao''s lust for women and taking over Zhang Xiu''s sister-in-law, Zhang Xiu wouldn''t be angry and rebellious, Cao ang wouldn''t be dead, and Dian Wei wouldn''t be dead.


    Cao Cao laughed and said, "I''ve forgotten the past, I''ve forgotten everything."


    Liu Xiu did not mention it any more and said, "prime minister, people are not so romantic as to waste their youth."


    "Well, well said!"


    After listening, Cao Cao couldn''t help cheering.


    As a poet, I can''t help but applaud Liu Xiu''s words.


    Liu Xiu suddenly said: "prime minister, I have heard that you are now in a dilemma for the imperial concubine. Especially between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, I don''t know who was appointed, right? "


    "So it is


    Cao Cao said: "Liu Jingzhou news is really smart, even the prime minister''s family know."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "in my opinion, I''m afraid the prime minister can only be inherited by Cao Pi."


    "Why?"


    When Cao Cao heard the speech, he had a look of curiosity in his eyes.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "the reason is very simple. Cao Pi, like the prime minister, is a man with a black heart. When he kills people, he doesn''t blink. On the contrary, what''s the use of Cao Zhi''s poetry and Fu? Can poetry and Fu govern the government and make the people live and work in peace and contentment? "


    After listening, Cao Cao didn''t know whether to laugh or how to cry?


    Liu Xiu''s words, said the internal reasons, but also together with Cao Cao scolded.


    In fact, Cao Zhi is too willful. Although Cao Pi''s ability was not so outstanding and his talent was not as good as Cao Zhi''s, he was superior in means and governance of internal affairs.


    Cao Cao laughed, and the conversation changed. He didn''t mention them any more.


    They chatted casually, but they both knew that each other was waiting for news.


    As time went by, it was night after dark.


    At this time, there was news from the Meridian Road.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "prime minister, I''m afraid you''ve lost this battle."


    "Why?" Asked Cao Cao.


    Liu Xiu replied, "because up to now, my people haven''t come back for help. If they do lose, they must have soldiers who come back for help. "


    After hearing this, Cao Cao frowned slightly, but said, "maybe it''s possible to be completely annihilated."


    "Da! Da!


    All of a sudden, the sound of a horse''s hoof came from a distance.


    "Newspaper!"


    A general galloped quickly. The general was no other than shamoko. Wen pin pinches the time and estimates that Huang Hu has already started his action. Then he sends shamoko back to convey the news.

 Chapter 611

    The sound of the horse''s hooves suddenly sounded. In a flash, shamoko had come to Liu Xiu''s side.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "how is the war going, shamoko?"


    Shamoko looked at Cao Cao in the opposite direction, and he wanted to say nothing.


    Cao Cao smile, not words. From Cao Cao''s point of view, if shamoko wants to talk and stops talking, he is afraid that Liu Xiu''s army is defeated, otherwise shamoko will say it directly.


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s OK to say it directly."


    Shamoko said: "report back to my Lord, both battlefields have been won. Among them, in the first battle of Ziwu Road, XiaHouYuan and xiahouba were killed, and all the soldiers under XiaHouYuan surrendered. In the first ambush, Yujin surrendered. More than half of the soldiers under Yujin died, and all the others surrendered. In this battle, no more than a thousand soldiers were lost at midnight. General wenpin ambushed in the forbidden area, and no soldier was lost. "


    "No way!"


    After hearing this, Cao Cao did not even think about it, and he directly denied it.


    Not to mention the life and death of Xia Houyuan and Yu Jin, but to say that Wen pin ambushed Yu Jin, no soldier lost. This is impossible. It is impossible to win without losing a soldier.


    Shamoko glared at Cao Cao, a look you don''t believe.


    Liu Xiu said, "prime minister, it seems that you are defeated in this battle."


    Cao Cao said, "Liu Xiu, you can''t disturb the morale of the soldiers under the prime minister."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "if you make a little inquiry about the war situation, you will know. Don''t worry, Prime Minister. As a person, I don''t have the idea of beating a drowning dog. You lead your troops outside the camp. For the time being, I won''t attack you. But as soon as you retreat, I''ll send troops. "


    Brush!


    Cao Cao''s face became very pale.


    In his heart, he believed Liu Xiu''s view that this war must have been defeated.


    But Cao Cao couldn''t accept it.


    In this war, he tried his best, but he was defeated.


    Cao Cao rubbed his feet, brushed his sleeves, and then went to the army.


    Liu Xiu also stood up and returned to the camp with Deng Zhan and Sha Moke. As soon as they arrived at the camp, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and Jia Xu met them. With a smile on their faces, Jia Xu said, "Lord, have you won this battle?"


    Liu Xiu said: "both Shan Fei and Wen pin have won in their respective battlefields. Now, that''s the direction of the yellow tiger. "


    Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "Cao Cao''s army went out and the camp was empty. At this time, Huzi led his army to attack. It was easy to win. The overall situation has been decided, and the Guanzhong area is in the hands of the Lord. "


    Liu Xiu also had a brilliant smile in his eyes.


    After seizing Guanzhong, his power will have an essential leap.


    The crowd returned to the camp and waited.


    As a matter of fact, Liu Xiu can send troops to fight Cao Cao now, just to delay time and wait for news from Huang Hu, so there is no war for the time being.


    However, if Cao Cao wanted to withdraw, Liu Xiu would have to cover up and kill him.


    Cao Cao returned to the army, recruited Xun you and Liu Ye, and told them the news just now.


    After hearing this, their faces were full of surprise.


    Xun you said: "it''s impossible. The prime minister''s arrangement is perfect. How can he fail? What''s more, Liu Xiu''s answer is too exaggerated. He said that he killed most of Yu Jin''s troops without losing a soldier. Yu Jin''s troops are 10000, and most of them are at least 5000. Under such circumstances, it is possible not to lose a soldier? "


    Liu Ye nodded and said, "I also feel strange and incredible.


    Cao Cao said: "at the beginning, the prime minister lost to Liu Xiu in Nanyang County, but the other side lost very little, and we lost countless? It''s possible. But it has to be verified. "


    "Xu Chu!"


    Cao Cao gave the order directly.


    "The end will be here!"


    Xu Chu stood up and saluted.


    Cao Cao ordered: "send two tiger and leopard riders and go to the forbidden ambush site immediately to inquire about the news."


    "No!"


    Xu Chu was ordered to turn around and withdraw.


    Liu Ye said, "prime minister, what shall we do now?"


    Cao Cao''s eyes narrowed and said, "now we don''t do anything. We are here waiting for the news. Liu Xiu''s news is shocking, but it''s hard to guarantee that he didn''t mean to intimidate us to withdraw. All the plans have come to this point. It is impossible to retreat now. It''s absolutely impossible to stop halfway. So we have to continue this war. "


    "Yes


    Liu Ye nodded, but there was a touch of worry in his eyes.


    Since Liu Xiu has already said that the ambush of Ziwu road and Yu Jin is really dangerous.


    The two armies are still facing each other. Cao Cao''s troops are arrayed outside the city, while Liu Xiu''s soldiers are arrayed in the camp, ready to fight at any time.


    Time goes by.


    "Da! DadaAll of a sudden, the sound of a horse''s hoof came from the official road in the distance.


    On the official road, I saw two tigers and leopards galloping back on horseback.


    They went to see the news of the ambush, and quickly came back to deliver the news.


    Soon, tiger and leopard came to Cao Cao''s side.


    Cao Cao quickly asked, "how is Yu ban?"


    One of the Knights replied, "prime minister, I''m defeated. I''m really defeated. Both Yu Jin and the captured soldiers have been detained by wenpin''s army. The soldiers are in rags from a distance. "


    "Ah


    Cao Cao exclaimed, "how can this be possible?"


    After a pause, Cao Cao said, "what''s the local situation like?"


    "According to the villain''s judgment, General Yu Jin was ambushed," said the knight


    "Ambush?"


    Cao Cao''s mouth twitched and his face felt absurd.


    The original intention of this war was to let Yu Jin ambush the reinforcements sent by Liu Xiu to Ziwu road. But now, the Knights of tigers and leopards say that Yu Jin was ambushed. It''s a complete waste.


    The soldier continued: "the local terrain is very broad, but there is a bamboo forest on the official road leading to Ziwu road. Today''s bamboo forest, has been burning up, the fire soared to the sky. According to the judgment, General Yu Jin probably hid in the bamboo forest, but was attacked by wenpin with a big fire, and then the whole army was trapped. "


    "Alas..."


    Xun you sighed and said, "prime minister, it makes sense now. The Jingzhou army who went to ambush and rescue must be ambushing in the bamboo forest. Wenpin, who Liu Xiu sent, must have expected wenpin to lie in ambush and set fire to the bamboo forest. Only in this way can Yu Jin fall into a sea of fire and be captured. "


    Cao Cao is also a master of the art of war. After listening to the words of tiger and leopard riding, he will infer.


    Bamboo forest on fire!


    Obviously, it was burned in the bamboo forest.


    Cao Cao clenched his fist and said: "in this way, in terms of Ziwu Road, XiaHouYuan and xiahouba are dead." At this point, Cao Cao clenched his fist, his eyes full of resentment.


    XiaHouYuan had been following Cao Cao''s cavalry for a long time, especially the Xiahou family and Cao family were relatives. To Cao Cao, Xia Houyuan is his brother.


    After decades of fighting, Xia Houyuan died in Ziwu Road, and even Xia Houba died.


    Such a thing, XiaHouYuan incomparable heartache.


    Xunyou said: "prime minister, the failure of the two battlefields means that our attack on Liu Xiu is meaningless. Retreat. It''s no use attacking now. Even if Wen pin leads the army to kill us, we will be attacked by Liu Xiu. "


    Cao Cao nodded and said, "withdraw!"


    With an order, Cao''s army began to turn around and retreat.


    At the moment of Cao Cao''s retreat, Liu Xiu''s camp suddenly remembered the sound of war drums.


    The drums roared into the sky.


    Liu Xiu''s army was quickly killed.


    The leader, however, is shamoko.


    At the moment, shamoko''s face is full of fighting spirit and killing intention. He was carrying the bone flower of Tribulus terrestris and roared: "the thief Cao is in front of us. Sons, follow me and catch the thief Cao alive."


    "Da! Dada


    With the sound of the horse''s hooves, shamoko took the lead and led the army to kill him. More than 20000 soldiers, led by shamoko, rushed to the tail of Cao Cao''s army to keep Cao Cao in Chang''an.

 Chapter 612

    Shamoko knew that Huang Hu had gone to carry Cao Cao''s nest. He was also very envious and wanted to go together.


    Cao Cao''s home, how face ah!


    When I went back to Jingzhou and boasted, it was also a big event.


    It''s a pity that all the good things are done by tigers.


    But now, shamoko doesn''t think so, because he is pursuing Cao Cao. If he catches up with Cao Cao and leaves him behind, he will be a great achievement, even a great achievement.


    In shamoko''s mind, he only wanted to kill or capture Cao Cao alive.


    "It''s today to kill and make contributions."


    "Capture Cao Cao alive."


    "Where are you going, thief Cao? Shamoko, too. "


    Shamoko roared, looking very excited. At this time, shamoko was completely excited. He took the soldiers to chase faster and faster. Gradually, he had already killed Cao Cao''s soldiers.


    After a charge, shamoko rushed up with his troops.


    After tearing Cao''s line of defense, shamoko led his soldiers and quickly killed them.


    The army was hanging behind Cao Cao''s army, which made the formation of Cao Cao''s army in disorder.


    Rao is so, Cao''s army has been in an orderly retreat.


    Chase and escape, keep on going.


    When Cao Cao fled and shamoko pursued him, Huang Hu had already led 1000 soldiers of flying tiger camp to Cao Cao camp. All the soldiers led by Huang Hu are cavalry. He had a wuzhui horse in his crotch, a drum jar hammer in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on Cao Jun camp in front of him, with a smile on his face.


    Here''s the chance!


    Take away Cao Cao''s camp, Cao Cao will be defeated.


    Even this time, we can take another opportunity to ambush Cao Cao.


    When Huang Hu arrived a hundred feet away, he did not attack immediately, but let the soldiers rest for a while. After a rest of a quarter of an hour, Huang Hu swung the golden hammer of the drum jar and roared: "sons, follow me


    "Da! Dada


    The sound of the horse''s hooves suddenly sounded, and the yellow tiger rushed out first.


    Although the soldiers of 1000 Flying Tiger battalions are constantly losing in the battle, they are also constantly replenishing. Under the guidance of Huang Hu, the soldiers of Feihu camp always dare to fight and kill. They are not afraid of death.


    This army is deadly.


    Even if it''s a thousand, even if it''s a team of tens of thousands, they dare to fight directly. Now an open camp is really not in the eyes of the soldiers of the yellow tiger and the flying tiger camps.


    "Kill


    The orderly shouts resounded through the air.


    The soldiers patrolling in the camp heard the sound, quickly gathered, and then formed the camp.


    In the camp, however, there was a shortage of troops.


    A large number of troops, whether cavalry or infantry, were taken away. No one expected that Liu Xiuhui would send troops to attack Cao Cao''s rear area at this time.


    It''s late, it''s fast.


    In the twinkling of an eye, the yellow tiger has been killed in the camp.


    Huang Hu killed him, swung the golden hammer in his hand, and then smashed it down.


    "Bang! Bang


    The drum jar was smashed by the golden hammer, and the soldiers in front of them flew out in an instant.


    Under the charge of cavalry, the defense of the camp is like paper paste.


    In an instant, the cavalry entered the camp.


    Cavalry rampant, and the camp chaos, a Cao soldiers running around.


    In the back camp, Cheng Yu''s camp.


    After all, Cheng Yu is an old man. He runs back and forth with Cao Cao, and his body can''t stand it. So Cao Cao led Xun you and Liu Ye to attack Liu Xiu, and Cheng Yu stayed in the camp to sort out the affairs of the camp.


    Suddenly, Cheng Yu noticed the ground shaking.


    Cheng Yu''s mind, instantly thought of the cavalry attack.


    Rub!


    Cheng Yu stood up, took a sword and killed him. Just as he walked out of the camp, a general came over and said in a loud voice, "Mr. Cheng, our camp has been attacked by the yellow tiger. Huang Hu''s killing God came with many cavalry. Come on, we''ll cover your retreat. "


    Cheng Yu said: "can''t withdraw, grain, ordnance are in the camp."


    But the general can''t help saying that he directly abandoned Cheng Yu and fled back to the camp. As he ran, he said: "Mr. Cheng, the soldiers in our camp are only a thousand infantry. There are yellow tigers on the other side. Even if more than 1000 infantry are killed, we can''t stop them, not to mention the cavalry under the command of yellow tiger? We stay to resist, only to die. I can''t manage so much now. I have to run first. I''ll withdraw first, and then I''ll think about other things. "


    While running, Cao Zhang came with him.


    This time, Cao Zhang did not fight, but stayed in the camp. Because Cao Zhang had hurt his heart in the fight with Huang Hu before, and he has not recovered yet.


    Cao Zhang said in a loud voice, "quick, quick retreat."


    As a person who has dealt with Huang Hu, Cao Zhang knows the ferocity of Huang Hu.


    If Huang Hu catches up, it will be hard to escape.So now, we have to run fast.


    The party quickly retreated, and this retreat gave Huang Hu a chance. After entering the camp, Huang Hu did not encounter any resistance at all, so he captured Cao Jun''s camp.


    Without any hesitation, Huang Hu ordered: "set fire to the camp."


    At the command, the soldiers under his command immediately took action.


    A little bit of Mars ignited in the camp. Now it''s a hot day. As soon as the Camp Camp meets Mars, it will burst into flames. The more it burns, the more powerful it is.


    Including all the food and equipment, but also a handle into the sea of fire.


    The camp burned everywhere, and Huang Hu said, "withdraw!"


    Turn around the horse, Huang Hu turns around and withdraws.


    After Huang Hu retreated, he soon disappeared outside the camp, but behind the camp, on a hillside three miles away from the camp. Cheng Yu, Cao Zhang and the rest of the soldiers are here.


    Cheng Yu looks at the camp which has become a sea of fire, and her body trembles slightly.


    It''s over!


    It''s all over!


    The whole camp was burned and completely destroyed.


    Without the camp, Cao Cao''s army is rootless Ping. After the news came out, Cao Cao was sure to be defeated and had to withdraw.


    "It''s all bad for me to stay in the camp."


    Cheng Yu murmured to himself, his face full of remorse.


    Cao Zhang said: "Zhong De Gong, the camp has been attacked. We have no resistance at all. How can it have anything to do with you? Our soldiers can''t stop the yellow tiger at all


    Cheng Yu shook his head, and his white beard kept shaking. He said, "no, if I had made preparations early, I would have put up horses, scattered Tribulus terrestris outside the camp, or even made the soldiers ready. This war will not fail. "


    At this time, Cheng Yu is remorseful.


    First, he blamed himself for this defeat, which he did not expect in advance.


    Second, he blamed himself for Cao Cao''s great cause and was defeated because of him. After the defeat of the war, Cao Cao had to withdraw from Chang''an or even Luoyang. Under such circumstances, Cao Cao lost his control over Guanzhong.


    It can be said that this is a crucial battle.


    Now that he has failed, how can Cheng Yu not blame himself? He is in great pain.


    "Cough! Cough


    Cheng Yu suddenly coughs loudly. Under the severe cough, his back is bent, and the whole person is in great pain.


    "Poof!"


    Coughing to uncomfortable time, Cheng Yu suddenly opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of blood.


    The whole person was paralyzed.


    Cheng Yu faints, which frightens Cao Zhang. He quickly pinches Cheng Yu and asks the doctor to treat him. After a while, Cheng Yu woke up. Cheng Yu looked lonely and said, "Mr. Zhang, I have been entrusted by the prime minister."


    Cao Zhang comforted: "Zhongde Gong, the loss of the camp has nothing to do with you. Don''t blame yourself too much."


    Cheng Yu shakes his head and sighs.


    At this time, the morale of the soldiers on the mountain was extremely low.


    Cao Zhang looked in his eyes. He turned his eyes. After thinking about it, he said, "Mr. Zhong De, it''s useless for us to show what we are doing now. First, I sent soldiers to meet my father and told him the news so that he could make early preparations. Second, we will retreat immediately and wait on the official road to baling. We can''t stay here any longer. "


    Cheng Yu said, "it''s all up to Mr. Zhang."


    Cao Zhang nodded and immediately ordered them to go down. Ten soldiers left the mountain first, and then ran towards Chang''an city. After Cao Zhang reorganized the soldiers, he also went down the mountain. Cao Zhang looked at the camp which had become a sea of fire. He could not help sighing, and then led the army to retreat.


    The camp is on fire and lost. This battle is inevitable and we have to retreat. Cao Zhang just hoped that the front line would be smooth and that the war situation on the front line would not be as corrupt as the camp.

 Chapter 613

    Cao Cao led the army to retreat quickly, so the soldiers in the rear were still attacked by shamoko.


    As a result, the soldiers suffered heavy losses.


    But in the present situation, Cao Cao had to withdraw his troops. He could only withdraw quickly, otherwise he would suffer more losses.


    The army retreated and got closer to the camp.


    Suddenly, Xun you said, "prime minister, look at the direction of the camp?" Xun you''s eyes were fixed on the direction of the camp. His face showed a look of panic.


    "Fire


    Cao Cao suddenly said in horror.


    In Cao Cao''s mind, a possibility emerged.


    No!


    Cao Cao''s eyes turned, showing an unbelievable look.


    In the aspect of Ziwu Road, the whole army of XiaHouYuan was destroyed.


    In terms of prohibition, the whole army was wiped out.


    Now even the camp has been attacked?


    If this is the case, then this war will really fall into Liu Xiu''s calculation. In other words, from the beginning of the war, Liu Xiu had calculated his every step, and then broke it one by one, leading to his rout.


    Cao Cao looked at Xun you with a touch of exploration in his eyes.


    Xun you''s expression was extremely dignified and said, "prime minister, I''m not sure yet, but it''s very possible..."


    "Come on, go ahead and have a look."


    Cao Cao also felt that it was not good in his heart, so he gave the order directly.


    Now we can only live as a dead horse doctor, we can only move on.


    The army went on, getting closer and closer to the camp.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came running from the front.


    The soldier was dirty with a trace of panic in his eyes. When he saw the flag of Cao Jun, his face was smiling. We finally found the team.


    Wait


    Suddenly, there was a look of shock in the soldier''s eyes.


    Because Cao Jun is retreating!


    All the soldiers, they''re all running for their lives.


    What''s going on?


    The soldiers originally came to tell Cao Cao about the attack on the camp, but now this scene shocked countless people.


    Gudong!


    The soldier swallowed his saliva and hurried on.


    When he came to the front of the army, he was stopped by the fleeing soldiers, and only after he revealed his identity was he brought to Cao Cao. The soldier quickly said, "prime minister, villains are soldiers stationed in the camp. Our camp is under attack. Now the camp is a sea of fire. "


    Brush!


    Cao Cao''s face changed greatly, and there was a trace of uneasiness in his eyes.


    Immediately, Cao Cao calmed down.


    Cao Cao looked at the soldiers and said, "where are the escaped people?"


    The soldier said, "Mr. Zhang and his soldiers have all retreated. For the time being, they will stop in front of the camp."


    "Good!"


    Cao Cao said, "retreat with the troops."


    "Yes


    When the soldiers returned, they retreated with Cao Cao''s troops.


    Xun you looked at Cao Cao and said, "prime minister, Liu Xiu has played a big game. All of us are counted in this game. Liu Xiu really won this battle. "


    Cao Cao said: "Liu Xiu just won now, not in the future."


    Although he was defeated, Cao Cao was not afraid.


    Cao Cao is a tiger in the north. He has experienced many wars in his life. Now he has lost once, which is not enough to shake the foundation of Cao Cao.


    The army continued to retreat, getting closer and closer to the camp.


    Next to an official road, there is a hillside on both sides.


    On the hillside, there are not deep woods.


    At this time, in the forest on both sides of the hillside, there were a thousand cavalry under the command of Huang Hu.


    All the horses were gagged to avoid noise.


    A crowd, quietly waiting.


    Huang Hu hiding in the forest, quietly looking at the foot of the mountain passing Cao soldiers, did not immediately attack. Robbery and killing, of course, is to start from the middle, Cao Jun is divided into two parts, and then good robbery and killing.


    Now in the past, only the soldiers in the front.


    If Huang Hu rushes down now, it will not play a big role and it will be difficult to completely disperse Cao''s soldiers.


    So Huang Hu is waiting for the chance.


    As time went by, more and more Cao Cao''s soldiers ran forward.


    Seeing that the situation was almost over, Huang Hu suddenly roared, "blow the horn, kill me!"


    "Woo! Woo


    The mighty sound of the horn suddenly resounded through the woods on both sides of the hillside.


    "Da! Dada


    The sound of the horse''s hooves was immediately echoed in the air.


    "Kill


    "Kill me!"


    "Capture Cao Cao alive and make contributions."


    "Cao Cao is down there, brothers. It''s time for us to make contributions.""Kill the thief Cao."


    Endless cries of killing, one after another.


    The sound of fighting horses, the sound of shouting and killing, and the sound of mixing and matching once again are even more disturbing.


    In a flash, the cavalry led by Huang Hu had been killed from both sides and went straight to the Cao soldiers who fled on the official road. The cavalry charged like a sharp sword, cutting off Cao''s soldiers who were fleeing in an instant. Cao''s troops were cut into two sections. The soldiers in front threw off their legs and sped up. The Cao''s soldiers in the rear ran around one by one.


    Surrounded by Xu Chu and others, Cao Cao was on his way ahead.


    At the moment, Cao Cao also panicked and kept running forward. He has heard the voice of Huang Hu''s killing God. If Huang Hu catches up with him, he must be dead.


    At the moment, Huang Hu is leading the army to hide and kill Cao''s soldiers.


    Where the golden hammer of the drum jar passed, it killed countless people.


    Many Cao soldiers were killed one after another.


    Cao''s army was in chaos, and then shamoko led his troops to kill him, which made the formation in chaos. When Huang Hu and shamoko met, they once again killed Cao Cao''s soldiers.


    This killing made Cao Cao lose his armor.


    Countless Cao soldiers surrendered or fled.


    It took quite an hour for the cover up to come to an end.


    Huang Hu and shamoko withdraw their troops, and along the way, they continue to gather the Cao soldiers who have fled.


    On the other hand, Cao Cao was also in a mess.


    He went a long way and finally joined Cao Zhang, Cheng Yu and others. But Cao Zhang, Cheng Yu and others are also in a mess, without the slightest tolerance.


    Cao Cao''s heart was cold when he saw the soldiers under his command.


    Lost!


    The war was so miserably defeated.


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Suddenly, in front of everyone, Cao Cao laughed.


    In the laughter, there was a look of happiness.


    This scene shocked countless people. At this time, Cao Cao can still laugh. Looking at Cao Cao one by one, they were all worried. Could it be that Cao Cao had lost his mind and had been hit abnormally by his failure.


    Xun you said, "prime minister, are you ok?"


    You know, Cao Cao is the backbone of the army. If Cao Cao is defeated, the army will be completely destroyed.


    Cheng Yu stroked his beard under his jaw. His eyes were tense and he said, "prime minister, we are just defeated by Liu Xiu. It''s no big deal. We lost this time, there is another time, there are more opportunities. The prime minister is in charge of the north, and his forces are powerful. A single command is enough to mobilize countless soldiers to fight again. "


    Cao Zhang also said: "father, Liu Xiu''s victory this time is just a fluke."


    At this moment, Cao Zhang is also worried.


    In Cao Zhang''s eyes, although his father was not tall, he was strong enough to support the world.


    One after another, they were all concerned about Cao Cao''s situation.


    Cao Cao''s heart was warm. He held his chin high and said in a loud voice: "the prime minister laughs because Liu Xiu has captured the camp, but he has never laid an ambush here. If Liu Xiu had laid an ambush on his way to retreat. This time, the prime minister will die without a burial place. Now, Zhongde public security is good, my son is good, and so are your generals. As long as we''re all right, we can fight again. The next battle is the chance to defeat Liu Xiu. "


    After listening to Cao Cao''s words, everyone was relieved.


    I''m afraid that Cao Cao will lose his fighting spirit.


    If Cao Cao''s fighting spirit is still there, everything will be promising.


    Cao Cao said: "withdraw, we will withdraw to baling immediately, and then withdraw to Luoyang temporarily. Liu Xiu occupied Chang''an and defeated our army. In a short time, it must be impossible to find Liu Xiu''s trouble again. What''s more, it will take time to readjust the losses of this war. "


    "No!"


    When they heard the words, they all nodded.


    Everyone saw hope again in their eyes, one by one with high morale, followed Cao Cao to retreat. Although Cao Cao was defeated in this battle, his fighting spirit is still there. As long as he is alive, Cao Cao can fight again.

 Chapter 614

    Chang''an.


    The news of Liu Xiu''s defeat of Cao Cao is spreading continuously.


    First XiaHouYuan and xiahouba were killed.


    Then, Yu Jin surrendered.


    Finally, Cao Cao''s camp was attacked and Cao Cao was defeated.


    Over and over again, the news kept coming out.


    Inside and outside Chang''an City, countless people were shocked.


    Cao Cao is defeated!


    Cao Cao is so defeated!


    It''s incredible.


    For song yuan, Zhu Yan and Xue Zhao, they are even more fortunate. Fortunately, they did not collude with Qin Wei, otherwise they would be killed by copying their families.


    At this time, the major families in Chang''an City were completely convinced.


    One by one, they were obedient and didn''t dare to move.


    Everyone can see that Liu Xiu has defeated Cao Cao, and the general trend has become, at least he can occupy Chang''an steadily.


    Chinese army big account!


    Liu Xiu met with Jing Zhaoyin, Xun Qiu and Tang Min, the magistrate of Chang''an County, and dealt with the news one by one. After they left, all the merchants and the heads of the families in Chanan city came to congratulate them one after another.


    Everyone looked at Liu Xiu in awe.


    I''m afraid no one can restrain Liu Xiu in the whole world. Liu Xiu has a place in the world.


    Congratulatory words are all empty words.


    Liu Xiu chatted with the principal of his family and businessmen, and then sent them away. After everyone left, Liu Xiu was relieved that he could finally get rid of these people.


    At this time, Wen pin, Huang Hu, Sha Moke and others came back.


    Everyone is seated.


    Liu Xiu said, "what is the situation of this war?"


    With a smile on his face, Wen pin said, "I''ll tell you, we have won this battle. Cao Cao led tens of thousands of troops to kill, but now, I''m afraid that no more than 3000 soldiers will escape with him. In particular, the killing of Xia Houyuan, Xia Houba and Yu Jin''s surrender fully reflect the benefits of our war. After this war, the LORD was based in Chang''an, and there would be no more problems. In particular, when the news of Cao Cao''s complete defeat reached Xiliang, it would be of great help to the situation in Xiliang. "


    Liu Xiu nodded with satisfaction and said, "yes, we won this battle. Next, we should accept the counties around Chang''an City as soon as possible to consolidate the stability of Chang''an city. "


    "Yes


    Tai Shici was ordered to give his fist.


    Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and said, "Deng Zhan, send a letter to Liangzhou about Cao Cao''s defeat. At the same time, spread the news in Liangzhou and Hanzhong. We fought against Cao Cao. Although Hanzhong had no influence, some people would have two minds. Now when the news of Cao Cao''s defeat goes back, there will be no suspense about this battle. "


    "Yes


    When Deng Zhan heard the speech, he kept it in mind.


    Liu Xiu arranged things one by one, and then things in his hands slowed down a little.


    ¡­¡­


    Liangzhou, Weiwu county.


    Guzang County!


    Somewhere in the house.


    Ma Chao and Yan Pu are sitting in the study. Ma Chao''s face is solemn.


    Ma Chao said: "Mr. Yan, up to now, the people we have contacted have been loyal to the Ma family, at least loyal people. But without exception, although we have not been reported, the effect is too bad. At the moment, no one is willing to help me at all. They all think that Cao Cao is sure to win. "


    Yan Pu''s expression was calm and said, "what''s the hurry? The general is in a hurry now. What''s the use? What we need to do now is to find out the details of everyone. Then, in view of Zhang Meng, the powerful prefect, he tried to persuade him to surrender at one stroke. "


    Ma Chao said: "just now, everything has no clue!"


    Yan Pu said: "General Ma, the more confused you are, the more calm you are. As long as we are patient, the enemy will always show his flaws. The people under Zhang Meng''s command are always in conflict. When there''s a conflict, it''s our opportunity. "


    Ma Chao nodded, the mood is still not high.


    During this period of time, news has been sent back from the front that Liu Xiu has occupied Chang''an.


    But when the news came, it had little effect.


    So Ma Chao''s return to power has not made a breakthrough.


    "Dong! Dong


    Outside the study, I thought of the knock on the door.


    "Come in!"


    Ma Chao gave an order.


    Creak!


    The door opened and a soldier came in from the outside. With a respectful look on his face, the soldier took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Ma Chao''s desk and said, "general, this is a letter from Chang''an."


    Ma Chao nodded slightly and waved his hand to let the soldiers back down.


    There was still fire paint on the envelope, indicating that the letter had not been opened.


    Ma Chao opened the letter, saw the contents of the letter, and his face suddenly became ecstatic.


    "Mr. Yan, great joy! Great joyMa Chao even danced and was very excited.


    Yan Pu guessed in his heart that the war in Chang''an was once again tense, and said, "General Ma, what''s the big joy?"


    Ma Chao replied: "the letter says that Liu Jingzhou occupied Chang''an, completely defeated Cao Cao''s army, and has driven Cao Cao out of Chang''an. In this war, tens of thousands of Cao Cao''s troops were lost, among which XiaHouYuan and xiahouba were killed, Yujin was captured alive, and Cao Cao''s camp was set on fire. "


    "At this time, Cao Cao is like a lost dog."


    If Cao Cao is really defeated, Liangzhou will be completely isolated. Before we went to contact people in Liangzhou, the reason why they were not willing to help us was that they could not judge whether the Lord could stand firm. "


    "Now, things are different."


    Ma Chao had a smile in his eyes and read the letter carefully.


    In the letter, the war was recorded in detail.


    After Ma Chao finished reading the letter, he handed it to Yan Pu and let Yan Pu have a look. After Yan Pu saw it, he nodded slightly, looking excited. Today''s situation is really good. The situation has changed greatly.


    Ma Chao couldn''t wait to say, "Mr. Yan, let''s go. We''ll go and visit the people of the major families right away."


    In Ma Chao''s opinion, it''s safe to go to his former subordinates now.


    Yan Pu shook his head and said, "General Ma, please sit down."


    Ma Chao said, "does Mr. Yan have any worries?"


    Yan Pu said: "with the Lord''s great victory in Chang''an, now we have two things to do."


    Ma Chao asked, "which two things?"


    Yan Pu replied: "first, walk out the contents of the letter so that people in Weiwu county and even Liangzhou can know it. We got the news that it was sent back by the Lord. So it''s going to take a while for the real news to spread to Wimbledon. Now, we''re going to get the news around. Every big family has its own information channel. With a little verification, they can be sure that the information is true. "


    "Second, wait for the people of the big families to come. The Lord has won. Now we have the advantage, so we can sit firmly in Diaoyutai. Even if we don''t go to them, they will come to us. Because now Liangzhou has been isolated. Once we go to the big families, we''re down. "


    Yan Pu said: "the Lord has won such a big victory, created such a good situation for us, and let us take the initiative. If we don''t make use of it, I''m really sorry, Lord


    After Ma Chao heard this, he put up his thumb and said, "Mr. Yan is very clever. I will do as you say."


    Immediately, Ma Chao said, "pound!"


    "The end will be here!"


    A tiger general came in from the outside. It was pound. This man was a general under Ma Chao''s command. When Ma Chao was defeated and fled to Hanzhong, pound was a general in the army.


    Ma Chao handed the letter to pound and said, "this is the latest news from Chang''an. Send someone to spread the news immediately."


    After reading the letter, pound was surprised and said, "Liu Jingzhou defeated Cao Cao. That''s great."


    Yan Pu said: "pound, the dissemination of information, remember not to leak the whereabouts."


    Pound said with a smile: "don''t worry, Mr. Yan. At least he will be in Weiwu for some time. He is familiar with the situation of Weiwu county. Don''t worry. I''ll do it right. "


    "Go down!"


    Ma Chao waved his hand and let pound back.


    At this time, Ma Chao has a look of expectation in his eyes. It''s been a while since he returned to Weiwu. After a long silence, the chance to take back Weiwu and Liangzhou finally came.


    Ma Chao can''t wait to discuss things with Yan Pu. He has determined everything.


    Yan Pu looked at Ma Chao, but there was a light in his eyes.


    As a person sent by Liu Xiu to help Ma Chao, he also has his own burden. When he saw Ma Chao''s excited look, he just hoped that Ma Chao would keep calm as always.

 Chapter 615

    Guzang County, south of the city.


    Chen family.


    In guzang County, there were Ma family, Han family and Chen family.


    Among them, Ma family is Ma Teng''s family, but Ma Teng was killed, Ma Chao fled, and Ma family was destroyed overnight. Han family is the family of Han Sui. Han Sui and Ma Teng revolted against Cao Cao and collapsed completely.


    This life is different from the Three Kingdoms in history.


    Cao Cao swept through Xiliang, directly eradicated Ma Teng and Han Sui, and solved the biggest problem.


    When the Ma family and the Han family fall, the Chen family stands out.


    As a matter of fact, the Chen family is also related to the Ma family and the Han family.


    Otherwise, Ma Chao would have been reported to the Chen family.


    At this time, in the study.


    Chen weiduan, the owner of the Chen family, is sitting and reading.


    As for Ma Chao, Chen Wei thinks that the Ma family is a thing of the past. It is impossible to overthrow Cao Cao. Cao Cao is located in Jizhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other places, occupying the hinterland of the Central Plains.


    Under such circumstances, even if Ma Chao attached himself to Liu Xiu, he could not do anything.


    Because of this, Ma Chao came to ask for help, but Chen Wei refused.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of walking came from outside the study.


    A man of letters in green came in. He was about forty years old. He was a scholar with elegant appearance. His name was Liang Wen, a counselor of Chen Wei.


    Liang Wen came to Chen Wei''s side, bowed his hands and said, "master!"


    Chen Wei said, "sit down!"


    Liang Wen said: "home owner, just now there is new news."


    "What''s the news?" Chen Wei asked.


    Liang Wen, with a solemn expression, replied: "the whole guzang county is sending news that Liu Xiu defeated Cao Cao in Chang''an. Not only that, Liu Xiu also killed Xia Houyuan and Xia Houba and captured them. Between Liu Xiu and Cao Cao, Liu Xiu completely won the battle and gained a firm foothold in Chang''an. "


    "Hum, it seems that Ma Chao is not dead yet."


    Chen Wei''s eyes narrowed, thinking that it was a fake message from Ma Chao.


    Liang Wen''s eyes were solemn and said, "master, the news must have been released by Ma Chao, but I believe that the truth of the news should come true."


    Chen Wei said, "do you think it''s true?"


    "Yes


    Liang Wen nodded heavily.


    Chen Wei attaches great importance to Liang Wen. Because of Liang Wen''s persuasion, he avoided getting involved in the affairs between Ma Teng, Han Sui and Cao Cao, and the Chen family was saved.


    Chen Wei said, "tell me about your analysis?"


    Liang Wen replied, "the reason is very simple. The news is too heavy."


    After hearing this, Chen Wei''s eyes narrowed.


    In my eyes, there is a light.


    In a twinkling, Chen Wei understood and said, "you mean that the news that Liu Xiu defeated Cao Cao is too important to hide. The news will come back soon, so Ma Chao can''t cheat. Otherwise, once Ma Chao commits fraud and wants to make trouble in guzang County in the future, it will be even more troublesome. So the news must be true. "


    Liang Wen replied: "the master is wise!"


    Chen Wei twisted his body twice and said, "if Liu Xiu really beats Cao Cao, the situation will be different. It seems that this time things really need to be careful. "


    "No, it has a lot to do with the owner," Liang said


    Chen Wei said, "what do you mean?"


    Liang Wen replied, "I mean, if Liu Xiu really beats Cao Cao, he will also hit Cao Cao hard. So Cao Cao can''t make a comeback in a short time. Liu Xiu captured Chang''an, so Liangzhou must be under Liu Xiu''s control. "


    Chen Wei said, "Mr. Chen, are you so optimistic about Liu Xiu?"


    Liang Wen replied: "master, Liu Xiu has the strength. The owner of the family knows something about Liu Xiu. Since Liu Xiu was born, he has built a huge foundation in just a few years. Such strength is really not simple. "


    Chen Wei nodded, with a look of approval.


    Chen Wei said, "what should I do?"


    Liang Wen said: "naturally, I''m going to visit Ma Chao. Liu Xiu is very powerful. Ma Chao is sure to succeed. Even if we don''t go to Ma Chao, there will be others. So now, we have to seize the opportunity. "


    "OK, let''s go!"


    Chen Wei thought about it and made a decision directly.


    At the critical moment, he believed Liang Wen''s judgment.


    They immediately left the study and went to Ma Chao''s mansion.


    When Chen Wei arrived, he saw three carriages at the door of the house. The people who came down from the carriage were Chengtian Jian of Weiwu County, Shen Rui, the head of Shen family of Weiwu County, and fan long, a businessman of Weiwu county.


    These three people are all famous figures in Weiwu county.


    After Chen Wei saw it, he was glad that he had come, otherwise he would be excluded this time. Four people arrived in the house, quietly entered.Entering the hall, a group of four people saw Ma Chao sitting in the hall. When Ma Chao saw the people coming, he arched his hand and said, "I''ve met you uncles, Ma Chao."


    He said, "I''m sorry."


    Tian Jian said, "it''s a great pleasure to see your nephew again."


    Shen Rui said, "Meng Qi is polite."


    Fan long arched his hand and said, "I''ve seen General Ma."


    Ma Chao waved his hand and said, "please sit down."


    All the guests and guests took their seats with a solemn expression.


    Ma Chao smile, said: "you uncle to find me, what''s the matter?" At the moment, Ma Chao has the initiative. He was glad that he had followed Yan Pu''s advice, otherwise the initiative would not be in his hands.


    Chen Wei said, "I''m going to talk to Meng Qi about what we discussed last time."


    "It''s the same with me," van Loon said


    Tian Jian said, "so is my official."


    Shen Rui said, "I''m the same."


    All four people knew the news of Chang''an, and they also judged that the news was true. Therefore, they all took the time to find Ma Chao, ready to seek the greatest interests.


    Ma Chao smelled the speech with a smile on his face.


    Sure enough, it''s all for profit.


    Ma Chao took out a piece of silk from his sleeve and said, "since you are willing to discuss it, let''s sign on this piece of silk."


    Ma Chao waved his hand and Yanpu handed the cloth to Chen Wei.


    Chen Wei took a look at the cloth. The content of the cloth was very simple, that is, Cao Cao was cruel and ruthless, and all the people united to resist Cao thief and kill Zhang Meng.


    Chen Wei stares at the cloth with hesitation in his eyes.


    Once you sign on it, it''s hard to make it clear.


    Liang Wendao: "master, sign it."


    With a word of warning from Liang Wen, Chen Wei no longer hesitated and nodded his head. Chen Wei picked up the pen, then under the cloth, signed the name, and printed the thumbprint.


    Yan Pu takes it with satisfaction and hands it to Tian Jian.


    Compared with Chen Wei, Tian Jian didn''t hesitate, so he just picked up the pen and signed it, and then put his thumb on it. Tian jianlai''s purpose is very simple, that is, to make profits from this event, and want to go further.


    Under the leadership of Chen Wei and Tian Jian, fan long and Shen Rui, who were born, had no room for hesitation and made a thousand character drawing.


    With this document, people are united.


    Ma Chao put away the cloth and said, "since we are all on the same boat and belong to Liu Jingzhou, I will not hide and tuck in any more. Ben Jiang can tell you a piece of news. Ben Jiang is completely obedient to Liu Xiu, and my sister Ma Yunlu has become the woman Liu Xiuming is marrying. So now, we are all from Liu Jingzhou. "


    When they heard the speech, they all nodded slightly.


    Ma Chao continued: "the question now is, if we want to win Weiwu County, how can we win Zhang Meng, the governor of Weiwu county. This man is quite powerful and shrewd. It''s not easy to win him in one go. "


    Tian Jian said with a smile: "in fact, it''s easy to kill Zhang Meng."


    Ma Chao was overjoyed and said, "what do you think of Tian Juncheng?"


    Tian Jian said solemnly, "I just need to bury my swordsman in my house, and then invite Zhang Meng to the banquet. You can solve Zhang Meng at one stroke, and then control guzang county. After I killed Zhang Meng, I still need the full support of General Ma and all of you to stabilize the situation. "


    Ma Chao said with a smile: "I will do my best."


    Everyone nodded and agreed with Tian Jian''s suggestion.


    It''s the best way to kill Zhang Meng easily.

 Chapter 616

    Prefect''s mansion!


    Study.


    Zhang Meng, with a solemn expression, is dealing with government affairs.


    Zhang Rong, Zhang Meng''s master, came in. He came to the study and sat down. He said solemnly, "my Lord, I heard from you some time ago. This time, big news happened again."


    "What''s the news?" Zhang Meng asked


    Zhang Rong said: "in the heart of the city, there are rumors everywhere that the prime minister was defeated in Chang''an, Xia Houyuan and Xia Houba were killed, and Yu Jin was captured. According to the news, the prime minister lost Chang''an, and now the prime minister has been defeated. "


    Zhang Meng expression solemn, did not expect the city will spread the news.


    The news is really shocking.


    "Have you found out the source of the news?" Zhang Meng asked


    Zhang Rong shook her head and said, "no news for the time being. It''s like the news was released out of thin air."


    "It''s weird!"


    Zhang Meng looks serious.


    Zhang Rong said: "my Lord, I think seven points of this news are true."


    Zhang Meng''s expression is one Zheng, way: "what do you say?"


    Zhang Rong once again said: "I think that seven percent of the news is true."


    "Why?" Zhang Meng asked


    Zhang Rong replied, "there is no fire without wind. Now that there is such news. I think there''s always a reason. From the last time the prime minister lost Chang''an, to this time the prime minister lost his troops. I''m afraid such important news is not false. At this time, it is likely that something will happen. Therefore, we must be on guard during this period of time. "


    Zhang Meng said: "you mean, I''m afraid someone will rebel?"


    "Yes


    Zhang Rong nodded and said: "since the news has been delivered so quickly, I think there must be someone behind it. Such things have to be prevented. "


    Zhang Meng nodded his head and said, "I know. You should check carefully the people who go in and out of guzang county."


    "Yes


    Zhang Rong nodded and kept it in mind.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came in from the outside.


    When the soldier came to the room, Gong Jing saluted and said, "my Lord, Tian Jian, the prefect, sent someone to see him."


    "Please


    Zhang Meng nodded in agreement.


    The soldier went down to deliver a message, and soon a scribe came in.


    The scribe arched his hand and said, "assistant li Liu Xiao, I have met you."


    Zhang Meng said, "is there anything important for Tian Jian to send you here?"


    Liu Xiao replied, "I''d like to report back to you. In view of the rumor that the prime minister was defeated in the city these days, the prefect worried that the families in guzang county and even in Weiwu County might have two hearts. Therefore, Juncheng invited the major families and major businessmen of guzang county to discuss business together in his house, intending to beat the people of the major families. Jun Cheng said that he hoped to get the support of the prefect and asked him to go to the town. "


    Zhang Meng waved his hand and said, "what about the time?"


    Liu Xiao said, "this evening, Xu Shi."


    Zhang Meng said: "go back and tell Tian Jian that I will go to the banquet on time."


    "Yes


    Liu Xiao bowed his hand and turned back.


    Zhang Meng looked at Zhang Rong and said, "it seems that Tian Jian is also aware of something wrong. Today''s guzang county is about to wind and rain."


    Zhang Rong said: "at this time, adults and Tian Jian must cooperate closely. As long as Tian Jian is on the side of the adults, there will be no problem with the situation in guzang county. "


    Zhang Meng said: "that''s the truth."


    After a pause, Zhang Meng said, "get ready. We''ll go to the banquet in the evening."


    "Yes


    Zhang Rong nodded and turned to get ready.


    Time goes by and the sun sets.


    At ten o''clock in the evening, Zhang Meng and Zhang Rong took a carriage and went directly to Tian Jian''s mansion.


    When Zhang Meng arrived, some people had arrived one after another.


    But at the door to meet the guests of the guard saw Zhang Meng, quickly went in to inform. After a while, Tian Jian came out with a smile on his face and said: "the presence of your majesty, my humble home is full of splendor. Your highness, please come inside


    "Please


    Zhang Meng waved his hand with a bright smile on his face.


    For Tian Jian to take the initiative to beat guzang County family, Zhang Meng 100% support.


    Tian Jian takes Zhang Meng into the hall. This is the Tian family, so Tian Jian naturally sits on the theme, while Zhang Meng sits on the left. The rest of them took their seats in the hall.


    By the end of the night, the sky had darkened.


    Dishes are served one by one and placed on the desk.


    Jars of aged wine are served.


    All of you are here.


    Among them, Shen Rui, Chen Wei and Liang Wen are among them. Among the people in the hall, many were invited by Shen Rui, Chen Wei and Liang Wen."Cough! Cough


    A slight cough sounded in the hall.


    Tian Jian coughed twice, and everyone was quiet.


    Countless eyes fell on Tian Jian.


    Tian Jian looked solemn and said with a smile: "today I invite you here to discuss something. As you all know, Liu Jingzhou defeated Cao Cao in Chang''an and won an absolute victory. "


    Zhang Meng''s expression froze when he heard the speech.


    Liu Jingzhou!


    Cao Cao!


    Judging from this appellation, the message is extraordinary.


    Zhang Meng interjected: "Tian Juncheng, pay attention to your wording."


    Although this is Tian Jian''s home, Zhang Meng can not ignore Tian Jian''s wording.


    Zhang Rong sat behind Zhang Meng, but her face showed a bad feeling. His eyes fell on Tian Jian, trying to see what?


    Tian Jian laughed and said, "thank you for reminding me, but I''m not wrong."


    Brush!


    Zhang Meng''s face suddenly changed.


    Zhang Meng said, "Tian Jian, what do you mean?"


    Tian Jian said with a smile: "my official''s meaning is very simple. Cao Cao steals the artifact and holds the emperor. In fact, Cao Cao is a thief. Now Liu Jingzhou obeys nature and pursues people. It''s the right way to fight against Cao thieves. "


    Zhang Meng said: "dare you rebel?"


    Tian Jian said: "rebellion? I never wanted to rebel. "


    Zhang Meng said: "Tian Jian, I won''t sit by and ignore you."


    Tian Jian snorted, confident and calm in his eyes, and said: "when you come to my official''s house, where can you be arrogant again?"


    In a word, ambition is exposed.


    Zhang Meng said: "Tian Jian, you dare to betray Prime Minister Cao."


    Tian Jian said: "where is betrayal? Liangzhou is not Cao Cao. "


    Zhang mengmao stood up and said, "if you want to kill me, I''ll see if you have the ability."


    Tian Jian said, "come on


    At the command, a pair of people burst out from both sides of the hall.


    The leader is Ma Chao.


    Ma Chao''s expression was solemn, with a golden gun in his hand, followed by a group of soldiers. He stares at Zhang Meng and says coldly: "Zhang Taishou, long time no see."


    "Ma Chao, you dare to come back."


    Zhang Meng was shocked. He didn''t expect Ma Chao to come back.


    However, he didn''t even get any news. It can be seen that Ma Chao has hidden the news.


    Ma Chao said, "yes, I''m back. I''ll come back and take your life. " Ma Chao, holding the golden gun of tiger head Zhan, approached Zhang Meng step by step, and his eyes became fierce.


    At the beginning, Zhang Meng captured Weiwu county and destroyed the Ma family.


    Today, he can finally get revenge.


    "Ma''er, I''ll see you off first."


    Zhang Meng is also a fierce general. He pulls out his sword with a clang sound. With a stomp of his foot, the man has already stepped out. The sword in his hand stabs Ma Chao''s heart directly.


    The sharp edge of the sword left a shadow in the air.


    This sword is sharp.


    But Ma Chao didn''t look at it. His golden spear shook and stabbed out in an instant. The tip of the gun passed in the air and collided with the blade. After Zhang Meng''s blade was swung away, the tip of the gun turned into a streamer. With a puff, it pierced Zhang Meng''s heart.


    One shot through the heart.


    Zhang Meng widened his eyes and said, "ma''er, you have to die..."


    As soon as he finished, Ma Chao pulled out his long gun.


    "Poof!"


    Blood splashed, Zhang Meng fell on the ground, no breath.


    Ma Chao quickly walked two steps, came to Zhang Rong''s body, a long gun shakes, easily pierced Zhang Rong''s body. After shooting Zhang Rong, Ma Chao waved the soldiers back, then sat down in front of Zhang Meng and said, "you all know me. Let me introduce myself to you again. I''m Ma Chao. Now I''m working for Liu Jingzhou. "


    Tian Jian added with a smile: "General Ma not only works for Liu Jingzhou, but also has an affinity with Liu Jingzhou. Ma Yunlu married Liu Xiu and became Liu Jingzhou''s wife. "


    The eyes of all the people were filled with admiration.


    Before Ma Chao was a lost dog, in a twinkling of an eye, Ma Chao had a relationship with Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 617

    "Cough! Cough


    Tian Jian coughed two times, with a solemn expression.


    When they heard the words, they were all quiet.


    Tian Jian said: "now that Zhang Meng is killed, the first thing we have to do is to control Weiwu county. Then, take the whole Liangzhou. But it''s not easy to capture the whole Liangzhou. You need to brainstorm. "


    Chen Wei said: "it''s easy to control Weiwu county with Tian Juncheng''s ability. So there''s no need to worry about the situation in Wimbledon. What needs to be dealt with now is the situation of other Jincheng, Longxi, Anding, Beidi, Hanyang and Wudu counties in Liangzhou. As long as these counties are convinced, Liangzhou will naturally submit to liujingzhou. "


    "In these counties, my younger brother happens to be the prefect of Longxi County. Liu dingran sent him a letter to return to Jingzhou. "


    "In this way, the problem of Longxi County can be solved."


    There is a smile in Chen Wei''s eyes. Among you, the Chen family has strength not only in Weiwu County, but also in the whole Liangzhou.


    Liu Xiu''s defeat of Cao Cao has become a general trend.


    At this time, Liu Xiu''s pace was closely followed. Only when Liu Xiu took charge of the world, could he share the benefits.


    All the people looked at Chen Wei with envy and jealousy in their eyes.


    No way, who let Chen family have strength?


    Tian Jian has nothing to do with this. Although he can control Weiwu County, he is still weaker than the Chen family.


    Shen Rui said: "although the Shen family did not serve as the prefect of a county, some people served as the prefect of Anding county and the magistrate of each county of Anding county. I will write a letter to them, asking them to persuade the governor of Anding to change his banner and support Liu Jingzhou. "


    Liang Wen said: "the Liang family should also fully support Liu Jingzhou. The Liang family has a lot to do with Beidi county. I''ll write a letter to the Liang family to persuade the prefect of Beidi county to surrender. "


    When a person speaks, they are all willing to start their own relationship.


    Today''s situation is very clear. Liu Xiu will win.


    Therefore, if we can rely on Liu Xiu at this time, we will surely win.


    After everyone spoke, all the seven counties in Liangzhou nodded and agreed.


    Everyone, without exception, obeyed Liu Xiu.


    Tian Jian was very satisfied with all his actions. He suddenly changed his mind and said, "although you know that Liu Jingzhou defeated Cao Cao, you certainly don''t know how Liu Jingzhou won. I think General Ma should know about this. I don''t know, General Ma, can you tell us in detail? "


    Ma Chao nodded slightly and said, "certainly."


    Facing the public, Ma Chao looks confident.


    Ma Chao said with a smile: "Liu Jingzhou is always ready to make plans in this war. Cao Cao first deliberately sent someone to inform Qin Wei, the east city captain of Chang''an City, and asked him to contact Zhu Yan, Song Yuan and Xue Zhao in the city, so that they could unite to attack Liu Jingzhou. In fact, Cao Cao intentionally let Zhu Yan and others to give information to Liu Jingzhou about Cao Cao''s plan to feint Ziwu road and actually attack Liu Jingzhou, disturbing Liu Jingzhou''s judgment. "


    "However, Liu Jingzhou is so wise and powerful that he clearly judged Cao Cao''s real intention."


    "What is Cao Cao''s real intention?"


    "First, it''s not a feint attack on the Meridian Road, but a real attack on the Meridian Road to capture it at one stroke."


    "Second, Liu Jingzhou was forced to send troops to help Ziwu Road, and then sent troops to ambush on the road."


    "Third, after Liu Jingzhou sent troops to fight, the camp was empty, and Cao Cao attacked Liu Jingzhou''s camp."


    In the letter Ma Chao got, he had detailed information about the war, so he knew it clearly. With a solemn expression on his face, he continued: "Liu Jingzhou has laid three battlefields."


    "First, the battle of the Meridian Road. Liu Jingzhou laid an ambush under the Ziwu Road, lured XiaHouYuan and xiahouba to lead the army in, and finally ambushed in the Ziwu Road, killing XiaHouYuan and xiahouba at one stroke. "


    "Second, general wenpin led the army to help, but in fact, general wenpin''s task was to destroy the ambush of Yujin army. So on the way, general wenpin burned the ambush of Yujin with a big fire. "


    "Third, Liu Jingzhou sent Huang Hu to lead the soldiers of Feihu camp to raid Cao Cao''s camp. A big fire completely burned Cao Cao''s camp. "


    Ma Chao continued: "as for Cao Cao''s attack on Liu Jingzhou''s camp, it was a confrontation. Cao Cao wanted to wait for the news of Ziwu road and Yu ban to come back, and then fight. Unexpectedly, he waited for bad news, and then he withdrew. On the way, he was ambushed by Liu Jingzhou. "


    "Hiss!"


    When they heard the words, they couldn''t help taking a breath.


    This battle is really thrilling.


    Cao Cao set up a trap, and Liu Xiu tried his best to break it.


    It''s not easy to really calculate to this point.


    When they got the news, they felt more confident. There is no other reason, because the stronger Liu Xiu is, the more stable they are to follow him.Tian Jian''s eyes also showed a look of shock.


    I didn''t expect that the war was so dangerous.


    Tian Jian stares at Ma Chao, his eyes show the look of thinking.


    Ma Chao and Liu Xiu, together with the relationship between Ma Yunlu, must have soared to the sky. Under such circumstances, Ma Chao obviously can''t treat it at will. He must treat it carefully.


    Tian Jian suddenly said, "I have a proposal. I don''t know if it is feasible."


    Chen Wei said, "it doesn''t hurt to say that, Tian Jun Cheng."


    Shen Rui said, "yes, let''s listen to Tian Juncheng."


    The rest of the people joined in.


    They all know that although Ma Chao did it this time to kill Zhang Meng, it would be difficult to succeed without Tian Jian. So for Tian Jian, they all look respectful.


    Tian Jian said: "the Ma family is in Liangzhou and has a high reputation. Today''s situation, Liangzhou also needs a person to lead. Therefore, I propose that general ma be the governor of Liangzhou. "


    When they heard the speech, they were all surprised.


    I didn''t expect Kenda to throw out this problem.


    Yan Pu sat at the bottom. He heard Tian Jian''s question, and his eyes narrowed. As a counselor of Ma Chao, he assisted Ma Chao. Although his main task was to assist Ma Chao, another task was to supervise Ma Chao.


    Liu Xiu subsidized Ma Chao and helped him return to Liangzhou for revenge, but he did not allow him to stay in Liangzhou.


    Tian Jian proposed that Ma Chao be the governor of Liangzhou, which means that Ma Chao should control Liangzhou. Ma Jia is a member of Liangzhou. Once Ma Chao is in power in Liangzhou, it is not a reasonable thing for Liu Xiu.


    So Yan Pu has to see how Ma Chao answers?


    Ma Chao listened to Yan Pu''s words, also Leng for a moment, quite unexpected.


    A moment later, Ma Chao returned to calm.


    To tell the truth, Ma Chao''s heart has so a trace of emotion, just think of the little sister Ma Yunlu, think of Liu Xiu resolutely married his sister, obviously Liu Xiu can''t let him control Liangzhou.


    Such an important place must be controlled by Liu Xiu.


    Ma Chao looked at the crowd and said: "Ben Jiang has already been subordinated to Liu Jingzhou, so who will be the governor of Liangzhou? After reporting to Liu Jingzhou, Liu Jingzhou will make arrangements. Therefore, I support the proposal that I will be the governor of Liangzhou, and I don''t need to mention it any more. What''s more, he didn''t plan to stay in Liangzhou after taking back Liangzhou. He wanted to go to the front line to follow Liu Jingzhou and attack Cao thief together. "


    When they heard the words, they stopped persuading.


    Yan Pu was relieved. If Ma Chao''s head was really hot, he agreed. He really felt that it was difficult. He didn''t know what to do? Simply, Ma Chao was not disappointed.


    Ma Chao looked at the crowd and said, "ladies and gentlemen, it was decided that we should surrender the counties. It shouldn''t be too late. Let''s go our own way. The faster we deal with it, the more satisfied Liu Jingzhou will be. Liu Jingzhou is happy. We are better off, aren''t we? "


    They nodded and left one after another.


    Soon, only Tian Jian, Ma Chao and Yan Pu were left in the hall.


    Ma Chao said: "Tian Juncheng, you will be the governor of Weiwu County for the time being. You put up a notice immediately to stabilize the people and take over the army. On my side, I will write to Liu Jingzhou immediately. "


    "Yes


    Tian Jian nodded and was full of energy in his heart.


    After Ma Chao and Yan Pu left, they began to write documents to explain the situation of Liangzhou clearly. Then they sent people to Chang''an to tell Liu Xiu the news.

 Chapter 618

    Chang''an, military camp outside the city.


    After Liu Xiu defeated Cao Cao, he began to straighten out the order of officialdom and the situation of Chang''an city. Among them, unqualified officials are naturally directly removed and then appointed by Jingzhou officials.


    However, such important personnel as Xun Qiu and Tang Min did not move, and they were still the same.


    Liu Xiu didn''t have much to do with the rest.


    The barracks are still training as usual.


    The captured Cao soldiers should be released and reorganized.


    In addition, Liu Xiu also enlisted in Chang''an.


    Liu Xiu recruited a large number of soldiers. Apart from the original 40000 soldiers, there were 20000 soldiers recruited, which made the army''s soldiers unprecedented and turned into 60000 troops.


    Liu Xiu''s action made countless people see the situation.


    In doing so, Liu Xiu was obviously preparing to fight Cao Cao again.


    Otherwise, it is impossible to recruit again.


    Barracks, big accounts of the Chinese army.


    Liu Xiu sat in the tent, dealing with the news. However, there are fa Zheng, Zhang song, Pang Tong, Jia Xu and others. Liu Xiu''s work is relatively easy.


    "Step on it! Step on


    A sound of footwork came in.


    Deng Zhan came in, bowed his hands in front of Liu Xiu and said, "my Lord, Yan Pu has sent a letter."


    With these words, Deng Zhan handed over the letter.


    Liu Xiu opened the lacquer, took out the letter and read it quickly.


    After watching it, Liu Xiu couldn''t help saying, "good!"


    Deng Zhan said: "Lord, it seems that Liangzhou has good news."


    Liu Xiu said, "Liangzhou has been pacified."


    Deng Zhandao: "Congratulations, Congratulations, Lord."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "you don''t have to flatter me. You should immediately inform Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Zhang Song and Fazheng to come to discuss the matter."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan responded and turned around to arrange.


    After a while, everyone came to the camp.


    Liu Xiu waved the crowd to sit down and said to the point, "Liangzhou has sent back news that Yanpu and Ma Chao have stabilized the situation. But the current stability is still based on our defeat of Cao Cao. Once we have problems, Liangzhou will certainly fall apart. Yan Pu wrote that Ma Chao asked to come to the front line to fight Cao Cao. If Ma Chao came to the front line, what should Liangzhou do? Now, let''s have a discussion. "


    Jia Xu said: "Lord, Ma Chao is the most suitable one to stay in Liangzhou. On the one hand, Ma Yunlu is the connection between the Lord and Ma Chao, which is an in law relationship; on the other hand, the Ma family is deeply rooted in Liangzhou and familiar with all aspects of things. As for Ma Chao, he took the initiative to fight Cao Cao at the front line. I think there are two reasons. First, Ma Chao is worried about the Lord''s suspicion of him. Second, Ma Chao really wants to avenge his family and go to the front line to kill Cao Cao. But of the two reasons, I think Ma Chao is more worried about suspicion. "


    Pang Tong nodded and said, "Mr. Jia has a point, and I agree with that."


    FA Zhengdao said: "the analysis of Mr. Jia is reasonable. In fact, it is not difficult to solve the current problems. The Lord can write back to Yan Pu and ask him to tell Ma Chao. Now he is fighting with Cao Cao, but he hasn''t hurt his muscles and bones yet, so he is the governor of Liangzhou for the time being, and Yan Pu helps him take care of Liangzhou. When we have a decisive battle with Cao Cao, we will transfer Ma Chao back to fight with Cao Cao. In this way, we can not only stabilize the situation in Liangzhou, but also let Ma Chao get what he wants. "


    Zhang Song nodded his head and said, "filial piety is right."


    Liu Xiu expressed appreciation in his eyes and said, "the proposal of filial piety is indeed the most appropriate."


    Immediately, Liu Xiu said, "Xiaozhi, I''ll leave this matter to you. You write a letter, and then give it to Deng Zhan. Let Deng Zhan send the soldiers of the royal guards to pass the news to Gu Zang. "


    "Yes


    Fazheng''s face was smiling and excited.


    The reason why he chose to stay with Liu Xiu was to show his face. Although there is no official position now, once he calms down the world and comes to the time of enfeoffment, his opportunity will come.


    Liu Xiu said: "if Ma Chao''s problem is solved, Liangzhou and Chang''an will become one. Now, let''s discuss the sign of attacking Cao Cao again. "


    Liu Xiu was obviously dissatisfied with Cao Cao''s retreat to baling.


    Cao Cao is in the Ba mausoleum. He can attack at any time.


    It can be said that Cao Cao lost a part of his soldiers, but he was still able to advance, attack and retreat, and was not affected at all.


    Therefore, under such circumstances, Liu Xiu will continue to advance. After defeating Cao Cao and driving Cao Cao out of Chang''an, or even out of Luoyang, Liu Xiu really got a firm foothold in Guanzhong.


    When they heard the speech, their faces became serious.


    Jia Xu said: "Lord, I think it is the best result for us to confront Cao Cao now."


    "Why?"


    Liu Xiu asked.


    Jia Xu replied: "now in less than a year, we have occupied Yizhou, captured Hanzhong, and now we have won Liangzhou. At present, the most important thing is to firmly control these places. So what we need to do now is to precipitate over a certain period of time. "After Liu Xiu heard this, his face looked thoughtful.


    At present, the pace is really big.


    Fazheng said, "if you stop now, isn''t it interrupted? Now is a good time to defeat Cao Cao. We can work hard to capture Guanzhong and get Cao * * out of Hulao pass. "


    Jia said: "the idea is good, but for now, once the Lord''s army has problems. In Yizhou, there may be turbulence. In Liangzhou, not to mention. Most importantly, if it fails, I''m afraid it will lose Chang''an. "


    "For the Lord, Chang''an is the bridgehead."


    "If you win Chang''an, the Lord will have the opportunity to go out of Chang''an and attack Cao Cao at any time."


    "For now, it is most appropriate to stabilize the current situation."


    "If something goes wrong, it''s not good."


    Jia Xu said: "it''s not a fight, or a rush at the chance. The key point is to take a long-term view. After a year''s strike, the Lord controlled Liangzhou and Yizhou. With the influence of Jiaozhou and Yizhou, the Lord''s position will be as solid as Mount Tai and can''t be shaken. At that time, there will be a real opportunity to sweep the world. "


    Fazheng opened his mouth and wanted to argue, but in the end he was speechless.


    The rest did not speak.


    All the decisions still depend on what Liu Xiu does?


    If Liu Xiu decides to attack Cao Cao, the people can only carry out the task.


    After thinking about it, Liu Xiu said: "the analysis of Mr. Jia is very reasonable. I think we should follow the arrangement of Mr. Jia and consolidate the achievements we have made. A temporary strike does not mean a permanent strike. There is still a long way to go between us and Cao Cao. In fact, the longer the delay, the better it will be for us. Cao Cao is getting older. The older he is, the better it will be for us. "


    After hearing this, everyone understood what Liu Xiu meant.


    Liu Xiu also said: "in fact, after the wars in Yizhou, Chang''an and Liangzhou, my official was a little arrogant. So now, let''s calm down for the time being and do a good job inside first. "


    "Yes


    Hearing the words, they all nodded and agreed.


    Pang Tong said: "since we have to adjust our strategy, the Lord will definitely leave Chang''an. So who is stationed in Chang''an? General Wen, the chief General of the first army, was stationed in Nanjun before, and he was also the prefect of Nanjun. If he doesn''t stay for a long time, it''s also a problem. "


    When Liu Xiu heard this question, his expression became serious.


    After thinking for a moment, he said, "Chang''an is very important. So no matter what, wenpin can''t leave. Xu Shu had to stay to help wenpin. Well, the Nanjun prefect of wenpin is no longer a part-time post. I will ask people to rearrange the Nanjun prefect. "


    Wenpin said: "thank you, Lord."


    As a matter of fact, he also served as the prefect of Nanjun County, which shared a lot of energy for wenpin. Now that he is relieved of his official post, he is relaxed and can train soldiers wholeheartedly.


    Liu Xiu and others discussed the next arrangement one by one.


    Things have been arranged one by one, and all the situations have been arranged.

 Chapter 619

    Liu Xiu dismissed them and took Deng Zhanchao to Yujin''s residence.


    So far, Yu Jin has not been willing to surrender.


    For Yu Jin, Liu Xiu wanted to kill him at first, but later he let it go and didn''t kill Yu Jin.


    In the tent.


    After Liu Xiu entered, Yu Jin arched his hand and said, "I''ve seen Liu Jingzhou."


    Liu Xiu sat down and said, "General Yu, how are you doing in the camp?"


    Yu Jin said: "the defeated general, what day, just muddle through."


    Liu Xiu looked serious and asked, "is general Yu really unwilling to surrender?"


    "No!"


    Yu Jin didn''t even think about it, so he refused.


    At that time, he was burned in the bamboo forest. He didn''t want to die in the disaster, so he surrendered. Surrender does not mean surrender. In fact, Yu Jin had the idea of suicide in his heart, but he was afraid of death after all and couldn''t do it. But Yu Jin was not willing to betray Cao, so he would never submit to Liu Xiu.


    If Liu Xiu wants to kill him, he has nothing to say.


    If you don''t kill him, you have to rely on it.


    Liu Xiu saw Yu Jin and said, "General Yu is not submissive to our official. It''s hard for our official."


    Yu Jin said, "if you want to kill or cut, you can do as you please."


    Liu Xiu shook his head. He had no choice but to ban. This man is really difficult.


    Suddenly, in Liu Xiu''s mind, he thought of something.


    Yu ban is the right person.


    Liu Xiu said, "well, since General Yu Jin is not willing to surrender, I can''t force him. I''ve always admired general Jin, so I won''t kill you. In the past, Cao Cao was able to let Guan Yu go, and today, so is my official. You take a letter to Cao Cao, and I''ll let you go back. "


    Yu Jin said, "Liu Xiu, are you sure?"


    Liu Xiu said, "how ever did my king cheat people?"


    After hearing this, Yu Jin suddenly laughed and said, "I''m afraid Liu Jingzhou won''t be so kind."


    He didn''t believe in Liu Xiu.


    Liu xiusu is cunning. I''m afraid he has no intention to release him.


    Liu Xiu said, "if I want to kill you, I don''t want to play tricks. If I want to kill you, I''ll kill you. "


    After that, Liu Xiu quit the camp. After returning to the Chinese Army''s tent, Liu Xiu wrote a letter, sealed it with lacquer, and then came to Yu Jin''s tent again. Cao Yu Cao tore up the letter and handed it to Liu Xiu. It''s up to you to decide what to do. "


    Yu Jin silently took the letter, and then said: "I will hand it over to the prime minister."


    Liu xiudao: "good!"


    "Deng Zhan!"


    Liu Xiu said.


    "The end will be here!"


    "You immediately prepare a fast horse to send general Yu away."


    "Yes


    Deng Zhan looked at Yu Jin and said, "General Yu, let''s go."


    "Thank you very much."


    Yu Jin said thanks, turned around and left with Deng Zhan.


    After Liu Xiu walked out of the camp, he watched Yu Jin leave with Deng Zhan. With a smile on his lips, he murmured, "Yu Jin, I hope you won''t be angry by Cao Cao."


    In fact, the content of Liu Xiu''s letter is about Liangzhou. Liu Xiu didn''t know anything about the ban, but it''s not clear whether Cao Cao was angry with Yu ban when he went back with such a letter.


    ¡­¡­


    Baling, Cao army camp.


    After Cao Cao retreated to the Ba mausoleum, he began to set up a defense line for fear that Liu xiusha would come.


    After all, Liu Xiu has too many advantages at the moment.


    Even if Cao Cao wants to fight again, it will take a certain amount of time.


    In recent days, Cao Cao was busy with government affairs, and the pressure of losing Chang''an at the expense of his troops came one after another, which made Cao Cao''s headwind again and hurt badly from time to time.


    Rao is so, Cao Cao is still patient.


    Cao Cao took charge of the imperial mausoleum and quickly dispatched soldiers from the rear to stabilize the situation.


    Everything gradually returned to normal.


    Only this time, Cao Cao suffered a little loss.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, Xun you came in from the outside.


    Xun you''s face was a touch of sadness. After saluting Cao Cao, he sat down and said, "prime minister, news has come from Yecheng."


    Cao Cao said, "what''s the news?"


    Xun you replied: "because of the defeat in this war, many ministers in the court criticized him. The officials of the royal family, in particular, are ready to strike again


    Cao Cao''s eyes cooled down when he heard the speech.


    In the eye son, twinkle kill intention.


    Cao Cao said coldly: "they really don''t think the sword of the prime minister is sharp?"


    Cao Cao has long been displeased with the court officials loyal to the little emperor. If he didn''t support him, I would not know how many people were lonely. But Rao is so. The ministers in the court still aim at him everywhere.It''s disgusting!


    Cao Cao''s eyes narrowed, and he was already planning another wave of cleansing.


    More than two years ago, he was defeated in Nanyang County.


    The officials in the court were boiling, and Cao Cao sacrificed his butcher''s knife. If he killed with one knife, the blood would flow into a river in the court. No one would dare to say anything again. Now, after compensation, these people have forgotten the pain of the past.


    Xun you followed Cao Cao all the time. Knowing Cao Cao''s mind, he said, "prime minister, we still need stability."


    "Hum!"


    Cao Cao snorted, his expression was very unhappy.


    Xun you said: "prime minister, bear it for a while. Now Liu Xiu is stronger and stronger. What we need to do now is to find a way to suppress Liu Xiu a little bit. "


    Cao Cao nodded and agreed with Xun you''s analysis.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, Xu Chu came in and reported, "prime minister, Yu Jin has come back."


    Cao Cao''s eyes flashed a look of surprise, said: "what''s the matter?"


    Xu Chu shook his head and said, "I don''t know the final general."


    Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "bring it in."


    "Yes


    After Xu Chu retreated, Xun you was ready to leave, but Cao Cao stopped him. Soon, Yu Jin came to the camp. Yu Jin bowed his hands and knelt down and said, "the crime will be in Jin. I''d like to see the prime minister."


    With a smile on his face, Cao Cao got up and went to Yu Jin. He held up Yu Jin with both hands and said, "Wen Ze, it''s good to be back. It''s good to be back. I''ve been having a headache these days. When I go to bed at night, I always dream about you. "


    On hearing this, Yu Jin burst into tears.


    In the heart, full of moving.


    Yu Jin choked: "prime minister, I miss the prime minister in my humble position. In Liu Xiu''s camp, he was imprisoned. Liu Xiu again and again to persuade, and even coercion and inducement. But today, Liu Xiu released his humble position, saying that he wanted him to bring a letter. "


    "What letter?" asked Cao Cao


    Yu Jin took it out of his sleeve and handed it to Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao asked Yu Jin to sit down, then went back to the seat, opened the lacquer and took out the letter. Cao Cao quickly read the contents of the letter, the more he looked down, the more gloomy his face was.


    After watching it, Cao Cao slapped it on the desk, his eyes flashing with anger.


    "That''s unreasonable. Liu Xiu is demonstrating to the prime minister."


    Cao Cao was so angry that he was short of breath, and his brain was aching.


    Xun you asked, "prime minister, what happened?"


    Cao Cao said slowly: "Liu Xiu sent Ma Chao into Liangzhou during the period of seizing Chang''an. Ma Chao took advantage of Liu Xiu''s opportunity to defeat the prime minister and killed Zhang Meng, the prefect of Weiwu county. Liu states are willing to return to liangxiu county. We had worked so hard to attack Liangzhou before, but now we make wedding clothes for Liu Xiu. "


    Thinking of this, Cao Cao was very angry.


    Xun you''s mouth kept twitching, and his face was helpless.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu really captured Liangzhou. Now that Liangzhou, Hanzhong and Chang''an are connected, it will be more difficult for Liu Xiu to attack Chang''an.


    "Ah


    The more Cao Cao thought, the more headache he had.


    At first, it was better, but gradually, my head was aching.


    Cao Cao lay on the desk and kept moaning.


    Seeing this scene, Yu Jin was silly on the spot, and his eyes were full of doubts. He really didn''t expect that this kind of thing happened just after he came back.


    Xun you Lian said: "Xu Chu, please get a doctor. Doctor, the prime minister''s head wind disease has been committed again."


    Xu Chu heard it outside and rushed in. He saw Cao Cao lying on the desk, crying out in pain, and rushed down to convey the order. Soon, the doctor came in a hurry.

 Chapter 620

    When Cao Cao got sick, everyone got nervous.


    One by one, the eyes were full of worry.


    At the critical moment of losing to Liu Xiu, if Cao Cao was ill, the situation would become extremely complicated. Therefore, it is the most important thing to treat Cao Cao now.


    Xu Chu said, "doctor, we must help the prime minister stabilize his condition."


    Xun you said, "the prime minister must not have an accident!"


    The rest of them were nervous when they heard the speech.


    The doctor treated Cao Cao, but he became more nervous.


    "Shut up


    Cheng Yu stood aside, cold face, directly scolded. Cheng Yu himself is a murderous person. As soon as he opens his mouth, everyone calms down and looks at Cheng Yu''s calm face one by one.


    No one quarreled, and the doctor gradually regained his composure.


    One by one, the silver needles went down, and the needles were continuously applied.


    After half an hour, Cao Cao''s head wind disease gradually suppressed, and people gradually recovered.


    After the doctor received the needle, he said: "the prime minister is ill, so we can''t be very sad and happy. Now that it''s under control for the time being, please remember to pay attention to it. You can''t stimulate the prime minister any more. "


    Cheng Yu nodded and ordered Xu Chu to send the doctor away.


    Cao Cao rubbed his still painful head and said, "everyone, sit down!"


    Everyone is seated.


    Cao Cao said: "Liangzhou is subordinate to Liu Xiu. With the support of Liangzhou, it can be said that Liu Xiu has gained a firm foothold. Everybody, what should we do next? "


    Cheng Yu replied, "prime minister, I suggest withdrawing."


    "Withdraw?"


    Cao Cao''s eyes narrowed, and his eyes were full of reluctance.


    The first battle of Chang''an was defeated by Liu Xiu. Cao Cao not only lost tens of thousands of troops, but also lost XiaHouYuan and xiahouba. Even though he was forbidden to return, those who lost could not return.


    Xun you sighed and said, "at present, we can only withdraw our troops temporarily. Moreover, in the current situation, Liu Xiu has won Liangzhou and Yizhou, and it is impossible for him to attack again for the time being. Liu Xiu needs to adjust and the prime minister needs to rest. "


    Yang Xiu said: "prime minister, a temporary retreat does not mean that he has lost to Liu Xiu. At the moment, we are just a strategic retreat. When the prime minister returns to Yecheng and stabilizes the situation, it''s not too late to make plans. "


    The opinions of all people are the unity of avant-garde.


    All of you agree to withdraw.


    Because the little emperor in the rear made trouble again, the current situation must first stabilize the rear.


    "Alas..."


    Cao Cao sighed and looked solemn.


    It seems that we have to withdraw.


    Cao Cao''s eyes showed a helpless look, nodded and said: "just withdraw."


    Cheng Yu said: "prime minister, since we are going to withdraw, we must deal with the relevant people after we go back to stabilize the situation. The old man suggested that when the prime minister returned to Yecheng, he would be called king. "


    "King?"


    In Cao Cao''s eyes, there was a touch of light.


    When they heard this, they were shocked, and their faces looked incredible.


    Be king!


    It''s not a small thing.


    Although Yuan Shu was called emperor before, it has broken the Han Dynasty. However, Cao Cao was the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. Once he became king, it was equivalent to telling the world that Cao Cao had the determination to usurp the Han Dynasty.


    This is tantamount to putting Cao Cao on the fire.


    Countless people will stare at Cao Cao.


    Even, people all over the world should criticize Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao said, "Duke Zhongde, it''s not easy to be king. Once you do this, you can make the prime minister stand on the opposite side of the world. It''s to put the prime minister on the fire. "


    Cheng Yu stroked his beard and said, "if there are advantages and disadvantages, we can only choose the least of them. Because the prime minister was always so kind that the emperor was lucky, and so were the officials in the court, who repeatedly made trouble in the rear. "


    "The prime minister''s claim to be king is a blow to them."


    "Only when the prime minister is called the queen can he enfeoffment the civil servants and military generals under his command, further win over all the people, and unite the people under the prime minister. Even so, let all the people in the court turn to the prime minister, and let the emperor have no one to use. "


    "Although the prime minister will be held responsible, will he not be accused now? Countless people secretly call the Prime Minister Cao thief and abuse the prime minister? "


    The more Cheng Yu said, the more excited he was. He said in a loud voice, "if that''s the case, it''s better to be king. After he became king, the prime minister was even more free from restrictions and could more naturally suppress the imperial court. "


    Hearing the speech, everyone looked forward to it.


    Nowadays, everyone knows that although the Han Dynasty is still in existence, it has long existed in name.


    It will be replaced sooner or later.


    That''s how it is today.


    Cao Cao was silent when he heard the speech. As a matter of fact, Cao Cao never had the idea of usurping the Han Dynasty, but sometimes what he thought in his heart was insignificant compared with reality.You are in this position, the reality will push you forward.


    In the end, everything changed.


    The so-called people in the river and lake, can''t help themselves, that''s it.


    After thinking for a long time, Cao Cao said, "is it really necessary, Mr. Zhong De?"


    "Yes!"


    Cheng Yu didn''t even think about it. She answered directly.


    Cheng Yu solemnly said: "in the current situation, if we do not do so, there will always be opponents in the DPRK. If the prime minister does not show his grandeur, they always feel that there is hope for the emperor. Therefore, we must thoroughly suppress them and let them give up completely. "


    Cheng Yu is loyal to Cao Cao, not to the emperor.


    Cheng Yu doesn''t care about the emperor.


    What Cheng Yu thinks about is the interests of Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao''s expression was solemn and said: "you are easy to say, but where is Wen Ruo?"


    Wen Ruo is Xun Yu.


    Although Xun Yu worked for Cao Cao, stabilized the rear area for Cao Cao, he was also loyal to Cao Cao. But Xun Yu''s heart was always loyal to the emperor, at least he didn''t want Cao Cao to usurp the Han Dynasty. Even though Xun Yu was in a dilemma, it was difficult for him to make a choice. It was extremely difficult for him to make a choice.


    Cheng Yu said: "if Wen is a smart man, he knows how to make a choice? What''s more, the prime minister is just a king, and it''s nothing else. "


    Cao Cao said: "the more intelligent people are, the easier they are to get to the top."


    Cheng Yu said with a smile: "prime minister, this is an extraordinary period. It''s hard to look ahead and back. For the great cause of the prime minister, to defeat Liu Xiu, and for the death of Xia Houyuan and Xia Houba in Ziwu Road, the prime minister can no longer hesitate. "


    "Good!"


    Cao Cao nodded and said, "after returning to Yecheng, I will take the emperor from Xuchang to Yecheng. Then, you prepare for it. "


    "Yes


    Cheng Yu smelled the speech, his face showed a smile.


    Cao Cao''s accession to the throne means that the situation in the court is about to change.


    However, Cao Cao was a little tired. He waved his hand and said, "let''s all step back."


    "Yes


    After hearing this, everyone stepped back.


    Cao Cao was sitting alone in the camp with a thoughtful look on his face.


    Carry the throne!


    Cao Cao had never thought about such a thing before.


    But now, Cao Cao has to do it.


    Instead of dealing with official business, Cao Cao went back to his bed and murmured, "Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, are you really the prime minister''s nemesis? I''ve been fighting for decades, but I''ve been defeated by you many times. "


    A trace of helplessness in Cao Cao''s heart.


    At this time, Xu Chu came in and said, "prime minister, Mr. Zhang has heard that you are unwell. He has come to visit you."


    "Please


    Cao Cao waved his hand and arranged it directly.


    After a while, Cao Zhang entered the camp, sat down beside Cao Cao and said, "father, have you ever been better?"


    Cao Cao said with a smile: "it''s all old problems. It''s not worth mentioning."


    Cao Zhang said: "my father must get better as soon as possible and recover as soon as possible."


    "Don''t worry. Being a father will be better."


    On Cao Cao''s face, there is a knowing smile. Among his sons, Cao ang, who died, was actually the most satisfied with Cao Cao. He was outstanding in both literary talent and military strategy. Unfortunately, he died. The rest of Cao Pi had a way of dealing with government affairs. Cao Zhi had outstanding literary talent, while Cao Zhang was fond of martial arts and tired of writing. Without exception, his sons were excellent.


    Unfortunately, they are not as good as Liu Xiu.


    Cao Cao shook his head in his heart and didn''t show it on his face. He said, "go down and get ready. We are about to withdraw."


    "Yes


    Cao Zhang nodded, then turned back.

 Chapter 621

    The news of Cao Cao''s withdrawal soon spread to Chang''an military camp.


    Liu Xiu was relieved when he got the news.


    It seems that Cao Cao is going to rest.


    Liu Xiu knew that since Cao Cao had stopped, there was no need for him to stay, so he arranged the situation in Chang''an and left with Huang Hu, Sha Moke, FA Zheng, Zhang song, Pang Tong and Jia Xu.


    Thousands of people went south to Hanzhong and returned to Nanzheng.


    Liu Xiu dealt with the affairs of Hanzhong and took Ma Yunlu to Jingzhou.


    Entering Nanyang County, Liu Xiu and his party went to see Zhang Ren and Wei Yan.


    Barracks, big accounts of the Chinese army.


    With a smile on his face, Zhang Ren looked worried and said, "my Lord is back. I''ve always wanted to find you. No, you haven''t been here


    Liu Xiu said: "our general Zhang Da was stationed in Nanyang County, which made Cao Ren unable to move forward. Now, what else can I do for you? "


    Zhang Ren couldn''t smile bitterly and said, "my Lord, I don''t know. In order to resist Cao Ren, the last general and Wei Yan have exhausted their mind. It''s too difficult. Several times, it''s almost unstoppable. "


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he couldn''t help laughing.


    People are poor.


    This time, Zhang Ren had a hard time crying.


    Liu xiudao: "come on, what are you going to do?"


    Zhang Ren replied, "I need a military adviser for my humble position. You promised me that. But so far, there is no arrangement. Now, under the rule of the Lord, there are six armies, each of which has a military division to deal with government affairs. Only when they are humble here, they have to be busy with government affairs and train soldiers, which is really a lack of skills. Lord, you must help to solve this problem. If you don''t solve it, I won''t let you go. "


    Liu xiuha''s smile, Zhang Ren seems to be driven crazy.


    "Yes, I''ll arrange it for you."


    Liu Xiu didn''t even think about it and answered directly.


    "Who?" Zhang Ren asked


    At this time, Zhang Ren''s eyes were full of expectation.


    Pang Tong, Jia Xu and others, he didn''t want to think about it. It was the counselors around Liu Xiu who couldn''t find it. But there are many good people around Liu Xiu, or Xiangyang.


    Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "Zhang Ren, what do you think of Zhang song?"


    In fact, Zhang song also has talent and ability.


    The only drawback is that the face is too sorry for parents.


    If Zhang song has the appearance of Zhuge Liang, he is definitely famous.


    Unfortunately, Zhang song is so ugly.


    Zhang Ren also showed a smile on his face and said, "yes, Zhang song can." Zhang Ren''s requirements are not high, it''s good to find a suitable person. Although it''s better to say that Fazheng is arrogant and not suitable to stay in the military camp, and Zhang Ren can''t afford to invite the rest of the villains. So the most suitable person is Zhang song.


    Liu Xiu immediately ordered: "Deng Zhan, please come to Zhang song."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan returned a, went down to arrange.


    After a while, Zhang Song entered the camp. Zhang Song bowed his hand and said, "I''ll see you."


    "Sit down!"


    Liu Xiu waved his hand.


    After sitting down, Zhang song took a look.


    As an old man in Yizhou, Zhang Song and Zhang Ren naturally know each other.


    Liu Xiu said: "ziqiao, today Zhang Ren came to me and said that the Fifth Army has always been a military division, and so far there is no arrangement. I think, on the one hand, you and Zhang Ren are familiar, good match. On the other hand, you''re talented enough to be a division in the first army. So, I''m going to let you serve as the commander of the Fifth Army. What do you think? There''s no need to force, just say what you really think. "


    Zhang Song arched his hand and said, "I''d like to report back to my Lord. I''m willing to serve as a commander of the Fifth Army."


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu had a bright smile on his face.


    Zhang Ren said: "thank you very much


    Zhang Song said with a smile, "please give me more advice."


    In fact, Zhang song is very clear about his situation. Although he is following Liu Xiu now, his position is quite embarrassing.


    First, he was not a military general, and could not fight in the battlefield, and could not achieve great achievements; second, it was obviously inappropriate for him to be the prefect of a county, and to be the governor of a prefecture; third, as a counselor, Liu Xiu had Pang Tong, Jia Xu, FA Zheng and others, who were all first-class conspirators. Compared with them, Zhang song is not qualified.


    It can be said that Zhang song has become a typical example of whether high or low.


    If you want to go up, you can''t climb up.


    Let''s lower it down. I''m not reconciled.


    Now Liu Xiu has arranged a military division for him, which is the most suitable one.


    On the one hand, the military division was responsible for contacting Liu Xiu, which ensured that Zhang song was valued by Liu Xiu. On the other hand, as the chief commander of a general, the position of a military division is very important, and it is also an important official position. It can display its talents.


    So at present, Zhang song is most suitable to serve as a military adviser.Liu Xiu laughed and said, "in this case, Zhang song will stay in the Fifth Army as a military adviser."


    "Yes


    Zhang Song bowed his hand to answer the question.


    Liu Xiu said: "with Cao Cao''s new defeat, Nanyang County has stabilized for the time being, but it is not that there will be no war. As a boundary, we must be careful. All in all, you two communicate more. "


    "I understand!"


    They nodded.


    Liu Xiu called Wei Yan again. Today, Wei Yan has been in the position of the prefect of Nanyang County for many years, and gradually has a great bearing.


    Liu Xiu said, "Wen Chang, how about Nanyang County?"


    Wei Yan grinned and said, "don''t worry, my Lord. Everything is OK. But my Lord, when will we fight back against Cao Cao''s wife? Nanyang County is always defending. When can we go all the way north


    Liu Xiu said, "soon!"


    Wei Yan nodded and had a bottom in his heart.


    Liu Xiu also asked Wei Yan to pay attention to some things, and then took the team to Xiangyang.


    When Liu Xiu returned to Xiangyang, it was October, and the weather was getting colder.


    Liu Xiu takes Ma Yunlu back to the backyard and introduces him to Huang Yueying, sun Shangxiang and Shi Xuan. Four people together, soon familiar with each other.


    Liu Xiu spent two days with his wife and children before he began to deal with government affairs.


    Liu Xiuxian met Yi Ji and Kuai Liang and heard about their current government affairs. Relying on the two people to handle things hand in hand, everything in Jingzhou is stable, nothing happened, and this year''s Jingzhou has once again achieved a good harvest.


    There is no vacancy in Jingzhou''s grain.


    Liu Xiu''s face was full of smiles after hearing the news.


    Seeing off Yi Ji and Kuai Liang, Liu Xiu deals with other things.


    Time into November, the weather is getting colder.


    On this day, Liu Xiu was playing with his son in the backyard, and Deng Zhan came in a hurry. Deng Zhan came to Liu Xiu with a solemn expression and said, "Lord, Cao Cao is king in Yecheng."


    Liu Xiu''s face was solemn and shocked.


    Historically, Cao Cao was called king in 216 A.D., but now it is only 210 A.D.


    That''s six years ahead of schedule.


    It is obvious that there are reasons for Cao Cao to be king, or that Cao Cao needs to be king to solve the current difficulties.


    Cao Cao gave his son to Huang Yueying, and left the yard with him and went back to his study. Liu Xiu asked Deng Zhan to send for Pang Tong, Jia Xu, FA Zheng, Yi Ji and Kuai Liang.


    When they sat down in the study, Liu Xiu said: "just got the news, Cao Cao was king in Yecheng, promoted to the throne of Wei, and was on the throne of princes. He did not submit himself to the throne and was not worshipped by imperial edicts. He worshiped heaven and earth with the crown of emperor, chariot clothes, banners and ceremonial music. He was called Jingbi when he went in and out. The ancestral temple, ancestor and wax were all like the Han Dynasty, and Yecheng was the capital of the state."


    People''s eyes were shocked when they heard the words.


    The news that Cao Cao is king is just too shocking and incredible.


    All of a sudden, Fazheng stood up and said, "Lord, Cao Cao is king. If Lord is still a herdsman in Jingzhou, it would be too low. The humble position suggested that the Lord should be called king to fight against Cao Cao. "


    Now Liu Xiu is just a herdsman in Jingzhou. His official position is really too small.


    In particular, Liu Xiu controlled Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, Yizhou and Liangzhou, and occupied the four states in the world. He was a real overlord and qualified to be king.


    Pang Tong said: "in fact, I think it''s a good time to be king. If in the past, it was difficult to claim the title of king. Now the Lord has a reason to claim the title of king. The Lord took the crusade against Cao Cao as the reason, and said that he wanted to fight against Cao Cao. He could not see Cao Cao destroy the imperial court, so he called himself the king of resistance. "


    This reason has been approved by the public.


    On each face, the expression has the look of expectation. Once Liu Xiu became king, they would follow the tide and get countless benefits.

 Chapter 622

    When Liu Xiu becomes king, everyone under his command will benefit.


    As a matter of fact, the reason why Liu Xiu''s people follow him wholeheartedly is that they follow him?


    People''s pursuit of profit is roughly the same.


    Liu Xiu has been a herdsman in Jingzhou for several years, and he knows what his subordinates think. In other words, Liu Xiu doesn''t want to do anything good. His people push Liu Xiu, which will make him move forward step by step.


    In a way, it''s an interest group.


    Liu Xiu is the core of this group.


    Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "Lord, I had the idea of persuading him to be king before. However, due to the status of the Lord, once the Lord becomes king, he will be accused by thousands of people and reviled by people all over the world. Today, however, the situation is different. It''s natural for Cao Cao to be king first, break the rule, and then be king again. Under the rule of the Lord, state officials can also be changed, and they can be appointed in a proper way. "


    After a pause, Jia Xu said: "if you want to compete in the world, you must give benefits to the people below. So at present, it is the most appropriate choice for the Lord to be king. "


    Kuai Liang said, "I agree with Jia Junshi."


    Since Liu Xiu was weak, the Kuai family has been following Liu Xiu. Today, Kuai Liang is excited to follow Liu Xiu to climb the peak together.


    Once Liu Xiu becomes the king, he will be in the ninth five year plan.


    At that time, the Kuai family will be the Minister of the dragon.


    Yi Ji also arched his hand and said, "Lord, please be king."


    Yi Ji used to be under Liu Biao''s command. Because he was an old friend of Liu Biao and a fellow countryman of Liu Biao, he was highly valued by Liu Biao. However, Yi Ji had long known that Liu Biao could not achieve great success and could only be subordinated to one side.


    Now, following Liu Xiu and seeing his rising step by step, Yi Ji naturally has wild hope in his heart.


    Go one step further and be a great minister.


    Others, too, exhort one after another.


    Everyone has the same hope that Liu Xiu will become king.


    Liu Xiu looked at the crowd and knew that he could not shirk any more. He nodded and said, "OK, I''ll be king. But, what is the king''s order and how to call it


    Yi Ji didn''t even think about it. He said, "Jingzhou belongs to Chu. The Lord is king of Chu. Naturally, he is king of Chu."


    Kuai Liang said: "it''s reasonable!"


    The rest of the people heard the words, and their faces also showed approval.


    Liu xiudao: "OK, that''s the king of Chu."


    Liu Xiu directly agreed to the proposal of his subordinates.


    "See you king!"


    Pang Tong stood up and bowed his hand.


    "See you king!"


    The rest of them got up and bowed their heads.


    On all faces, there is a third of joy in seriousness. Following Liu Xiu up to now can be regarded as barely achieving the right result. Especially Yi Ji and Pang Tong, who followed Liu Xiu from the beginning, were even more pleased.


    There is no doubt that as long as they do not make mistakes, or commit treason, there will be no more.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "please get up."


    Liu Xiu looked at Yi Ji and said, "Uncle Ji, you are responsible for all the affairs concerning my accession to the throne of the king of Chu."


    "Yes


    Yi Ji''s face was full of smiles when he heard the speech.


    Under Liu Xiu''s command, he could not compare with Kuai Liang in terms of administrative ability. When it comes to marching, he is a layman. But in terms of propriety and righteousness, he did it all by himself. At the beginning, Liu Xiu inherited Jingzhou Mu and presided over it; he presided over Liu Xiu''s wedding; now, he presides over Liu Xiu''s succession to the throne of Chu.


    In Yi Ji''s heart, there is even a layer of extravagant hope. If Liu Xiuwei ascends the ninth five year plan, he will be the host, it will be perfect.


    Jia Xu said: "king, you should use my own king or few people to claim yourself in the future. As for me, I can''t use it any more. "


    Liu Xiu big sleeve a brush, way: "no harm, I know what occasion how to say."


    Jia Xu nodded and stopped persuading him.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Kuai Liang and said, "zirou, are there many students in the academy now?"


    Kuai Liang said: "the lumen academy is very prosperous. As many as 1000 students have enrolled this year. Among them, 400 students will graduate this year. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Liangzhou and Yizhou have been decided. I plan to arrange all these taxis to be county magistrate in Liangzhou and Yizhou."


    "Ah


    Kuai Liang''s eyes widened and his face looked surprised.


    Kuai Liang even said: "you can''t be king!"


    Kuai Liang thinks that Liu Xiu''s idea is not feasible at all.


    All the students came out of the cold window after ten years of hard study. Now they are reluctant to be county magistrate, even in remote places where birds do not poop.


    Jia Xu also said: "Your Majesty, I don''t think it''s right to be humble. It''s too hasty."


    Pang Tong said, "once you do that, I''m afraid the scholars will make trouble."All the people gathered under Liu Xuan''s command came from reading. They all knew that it was not easy to study hard for more than ten years. Let them suddenly go down as county magistrate, one by one heart began to drum. Put themselves in their shoes, even if they are themselves, they are reluctant.


    Liu Xiu looked at the reaction of the crowd and looked as usual.


    This kind of reaction is normal.


    If everyone agrees directly, I''m afraid things will be really weird.


    Liu Xiu continued: "I have already considered this matter. First, Yizhou and Liangzhou must be loyal to our people. "


    "Just a governor, or a prefect, that''s floating on the surface."


    "Real control is only when you control all the counties."


    "So it''s the simplest and most direct way to control the counties in Liangzhou and Yizhou."


    "Second, the students who graduated from lumen college are all talents, but what they learned in lumen college is not really government affairs after all. If you want to get a promotion, you have to go down to the bottom and take charge. "


    "After the affairs of the ruling party, their ability and mentality can be really relaxed."


    "The survival of the fittest, strong ability, naturally can stand out. Those with poor ability will be eliminated directly. "


    Liu Xiu said: "the students from lumen academy can''t be like Zhao Kuo. They talk about the art of war in a reasonable way, but once the war really starts, they will wither completely."


    Kuai Liang said: "Your Majesty''s proposal is also approved by your humble position. I''m afraid it''s not easy to make them obedient. "


    Jia Xu stroked his beard and said, "if you don''t pay attention, I''m afraid these people will go north and choose to go to Cao Cao."


    Two people gave specific answers.


    With a smile in his mouth, Liu Xiu said, "as for the handling of this matter, I think that after the constant cultivation of students in lumen Academy. I will give a rule that anyone who wants to be the prefect of a county or even get a higher position under my command must have the political achievements of a county at the grass-roots level. With this condition, everything can be solved. "


    "Wonderful


    Yi Ji''s face was full of smiles.


    Eyes, full of admiration.


    Liu Xiu''s move, all the students can only obediently go to the grassroots. Even, everyone is willing to go on, want to make achievements in the local.


    Virtually, everyone is under Liu Xiu''s control.


    Jia Xu said: "according to the king''s suggestion, it is really workable."


    Kuai Liang said: "I also agree with the humble position!"


    They all nodded and agreed, with smiles on their faces. According to Liu Xiu''s idea, we can not only solve the unstable situation in Yizhou and Liangzhou, but also arrange all the students to go on training.


    After dealing with the matter, Liu Xiu dealt with other things.


    Then, Liu Xiucai waved the crowd back and told Deng Zhan to invite Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan.


    About half an hour later, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan came to the room.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "teacher, father-in-law, please sit down."


    Two people are not polite, just sit down.


    Pound is a lot older. His face is white and his hair has become white. But his spirit is very vigorous, which gives people a feeling of hale and hearty.


    Liu Xiu said: "when a teacher is in the Academy, he should pay attention to his health."


    "Don''t worry, I''m in good health, eating well and sleeping well," Pang said with a smile

 Chapter 623

    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Chengyan and said, "although his father-in-law is younger than his teacher, he is getting older. He should also pay attention to his health. Yueying has been nagging in my ear for several times. I want to advise you not to work too hard. "


    Huang Chengyan said: "in women''s opinion, Ji Xu, don''t listen to Yueying. She is a woman, what insight can she have. This man is old. He just needs to move more to keep fit. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "my father-in-law is right."


    Pound said: "Jixu wants us. What can I do for you?"


    Liu xiudao: "the first is to look at the body of Er Lao. Second, it''s about college students. "


    Huang Chengyan said, "what happened to the students?"


    "I plan to send all the graduating taxis to Liangzhou and Yizhou counties as county magistrates," Liu said


    Pound said: "how can this work? I''m afraid they won''t agree. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said his plan immediately.


    Mr. pound replied, "well, that''s a good idea. The purpose of studying in lumen academy is to achieve something. It''s also their chance to let them act as county magistrate obediently. "


    "If that''s the case, that''s OK," Huang said


    Liu''s father-in-law said, "it''s hard for us to carry out this work, so we have to prepare for it."


    "No problem!"


    Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan nodded.


    The two of them, Liu Xiu''s teacher and his father-in-law, are both broken bones and tendons. They are both true winners and losers.


    In such a relationship, they must support Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu left the two elders to have dinner in his family. In the evening, he sent someone to see them off.


    After dealing with the matter, Liu Xiu went back to the backyard.


    Today, Liu Zhen, Liu Xiu''s eldest son, is more than two years old, almost three years old. Under the education of Huang Yueying, Liu Zhen is very clever, and his speech is smooth, eccentric and lovely.


    This is true of Liu Zhenyue. Sun Shangxiang, Ning Xuan and Ma Yunlu are all red eyed.


    To this day, they are not pregnant.


    Of course, it''s true that Liu Xiu has been out all the time, so he has no time to make people.


    Liu Xiu chatted with the three in the evening and finally stayed in sun Shangxiang''s room.


    The next day, Liu Xiu dealt with government affairs as usual.


    In the following period of time, Liu Xiu was at home, and there was nothing else. The news that Cao Cao was the king of Wei was all spread, and everyone knew that Cao Cao was the king.


    At this time, Jingzhou just spread the news, someone began to admonish Liu Xiu as king.


    After the news came out, there were no waves yet.


    But as time goes on, more and more people admonish Liu Xiu to be king. This wave has spread not only in Jingzhou, but also in Jiaozhou, Yizhou and Liangzhou. We sincerely invite Liu Xiu to be king.


    In this case, Yi Ji, as a minister under Liu Xiu''s command, for the first time joined hands with Liu Xiu''s officials to perform jointly, asking Liu Xiu to become the king of Chu.


    When Liu Xiu got the news, he refused directly.


    The reason is that Cao Cao is a thief of Cao Cao and a thief of Han Dynasty, but Liu Xiu can''t. Liu Xiu is still a subordinate of the emperor and loyal to the emperor.


    After the news came out, countless people were disappointed.


    It''s a pity that Liu Xiu refused to be king.


    However, the Iraqis still did not give up.


    After the first failure, the second joint recital was soon carried out. This time, along with the lumen academy and Xiangyang hospital, and even more officials from Jingzhou, all participated.


    All the people advised Liu Xiu to be king, saying that Liu Xiu was not disrespectful of the emperor, but for better confrontation with Cao Cao.


    This reason stands.


    But this time, Liu Xiu refused.


    The reason for Liu Xiu''s refusal is that Cao Cao can be king without fear, but he can''t.


    This reason simply does not hold water.


    For ordinary people, after hearing the news, they feel that Liu Xiu really doesn''t intend to be king. It''s a pity. But for the discerning people, they see Liu Xiu''s mind.


    Generally speaking, there are three requests and two words for the title of king or emperor.


    It won''t be successful until the third time.


    So Liu Xiu''s two words are very normal.


    When countless people were disappointed, Yi Ji once again joined hands with the officials and invited Liu Xiu to be king. This time in the remonstrance, the matter is more serious.


    Please advise that if Liu Xiu doesn''t become king again, he will be sorry to the people all over the world. He will leave the people in dire straits. Even if Liu Xiu refuses again, Jingzhou officials will be disappointed and resign.


    The tone is quite solemn.


    This time, Liu Xiu agreed.


    Liu Xiu agreed to be king, and the news immediately came from Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, Xuzhou and Liangzhou.For these States, it was Liu Xiu, and all the officials were inspired. The reason is very simple. Liu Xiu is called queen. With the rising tide, their future will be brighter.


    However, for Cao Cao in the north, it was a piece of bad news.


    Liu Xiu is king.


    Obviously, Liu Xiu is against him.


    Sun Quan, who is located in Jiangdong, is also suffering.


    When Sun Quan took charge of Jiangdong, he could not be without ambition. Sun Quan also wants to gain benefits and become king, but he is the only one with the weakest strength among the three, and even any one of them has the strength to destroy it.


    Therefore, Sun Quan hesitated.


    However, hesitation came to hesitation, and Sun Quan became king in the end.


    Although Sun Quan''s claim to the throne did not attract much attention, it was good news for the officials under Sun Quan''s command, which gave them hope.


    November 18, this day.


    It''s a fine day.


    Although it has entered the cold winter, the weather is still clear.


    On this day, north of Xiangyang City.


    There is an altar here. Countless soldiers defend it. All officials of Jingzhou arrive.


    On the altar, Yi Ji, as the master of ceremonies, ordered: "the ceremony begins!"


    At the first order, I heard the sound of drums.


    After waiting for the music, Liu Xiu appeared slowly under the altar and walked slowly towards the altar. When Liu Xiu came to power, under the aegis of Yi Ji, Liu Xiu was officially crowned with a crown dress and a nine crown crown.


    After Liu Xiu''s ceremony of becoming king ended, Liu Xiu turned to face the soldiers under the altar.


    Looking at the altar, Liu Xiu''s heart was agitated.


    A few years ago, he was just a poor son in the prefecture.


    Now, he is the king of Chu.


    There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers under Liu Xiu''s command. With Liu Xiu''s current power, he has long been the dominant party.


    Liu Xiu looked at all the soldiers and said in a loud voice, "my sons, I am the king of Chu today. Here, I swear to heaven. When I become king, I will surely wipe out the bandits of Cao and revive the Han Dynasty. "


    "Wipe out the thief Cao!"


    In the crowd below, Huang Hu, as the general, immediately yelled.


    Before that, Yi Ji told him what to do.


    As soon as Liu Xiu called out the slogan, Huang Hu immediately joined him.


    "Wipe out the thief Cao!"


    "Wipe out the thief Cao!"


    Countless soldiers responded, and their voices became louder and louder. The voice of tens of thousands of soldiers, resolute, straight into the sky.


    After some shouting, the atmosphere became unprecedented.


    Liu Xiu also promised that as long as the soldiers made contributions, they would certainly be able to obtain military achievements. In a word, the first thing Liu Xiu called the queen was to paint cakes for everyone, so that everyone could know that Liu Xiu had meat to eat.


    After Liu Xiu dealt with the matter, he left under the protection of Huang Hu and other soldiers.


    Back to the prefecture.


    No, it''s time to go back to the Chu palace.


    After Liu Xiu returned to the palace, he summoned Yi Ji and Kuai Liang in the hall.


    Except for the others, no one else.


    None of the advisers, including Pang Tong, Jia Xu and Fazheng, or the generals, such as Huang Hu and shamoko, were present.


    Liu Xiu looked at Yi Ji and Kuai Liang and said, "Ji Bo and Zi Rou, I have been promoted to the throne. Now, it must involve the adjustment of the positions of the main generals under his command. What should you do?"


    Yi Ji''s brows wrinkled when he heard the speech.


    Kuai Liang''s eyes also showed a dignified look.


    There are six armies under Liu Xiu''s command, each of which has a chief General and a military division, as well as a governor and a prefect.


    It is not easy to arrange these people one by one.


    The adjustment of official posts has always been the most difficult thing.

 Chapter 624

    "The adjustment of officials is imperative," Liu said. Let''s talk about how to arrange it. "


    Yi Ji thought for a moment and said, "king, the current situation is definitely not suitable for large-scale adjustment. Once large-scale adjustment, I am afraid it will cause fluctuations. So there are three considerations of humble position. "


    "First, the civil service system, from the county magistrate to the prefect to the assassin, remains unchanged. The only Cishi to be changed is Jingzhou Cishi. "


    "Second, there should be a clear hierarchy of generals. For example, is the chief General of each of the six major military regions a common assassin? I''m still the same prefect. "


    "Third, the officials of the king''s Palace also need to be changed."


    Yi Ji looked serious and said: "the humble consideration is to make adjustments on the basis of minimal changes."


    Kuai liang thought about it and said, "when I think about my humble job, I should stay as a governor. But the power of the assassin is too great and should be limited. Just like Jiaozhou, he was only responsible for civil affairs, and the army was no longer in his hands. "


    Liu xiudao: "zirou is right. The separation of military and government is necessary."


    Kuai Liang said, "Your Majesty is wise!"


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "don''t flatter me. Let''s get down to business."


    Kuai Liang has a smile on his face, which is also a positive thinking.


    Liu Xiu saw that they did not have a clear answer, and knew that the discussion was not complete.


    Liu Xiu said, "this is the general direction. Then, you two go down to discuss and decide on a plan, and then give me the answer. "


    "No!"


    Yi Ji and Kuai Liang nodded. They were eager to do so.


    In front of Liu Xiu''s face, they also have some restrictions.


    Liu Xiu said: "the next thing to do is in the aspect of generals. The chief General of each military region in the six major military regions holds the same official position as the governor of the same state, and the military division of the same military region holds the same position as the deputy governor. Then the generals in the army, in accordance with the Taishou, Jun Cheng and so on, and so on


    "As for the civil service system, as Zi Rou said, it is clear that the assassins are not allowed to interfere in military affairs."


    "The officials of the palace are also my subordinates."


    "The most special one is Huang Hu and shamoko. Their troops are collectively called the guards, who are responsible for protecting my safety. Of course, the main general of the guards is Huang Hu, and the deputy general is shamoko. "


    Liu Xiu gave a general idea and said the general things again.


    The current situation is generally listed. As for the others, just leave them to Yi Ji and Kuai Liang. They are good at handling these things and can handle them properly.


    Liu Xiu asked, "is there anything else?"


    Yi Ji said: "king, there are Xiangyang hospital and lumen Academy. These two institutions have spread all over Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, which can be said to be huge. Their official positions must also be determined. "


    Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "the official positions of hospitals and academies are also military generals. For example, the General Court of Xiangyang in Jingzhou is the same as the governor, and the General Court of a county is the same as the governor. A member of a county is like a magistrate. "


    "The arrangement of hospitals and academies is the same."


    "It''s just that the governor, the prefect and the county magistrate are not allowed to interfere in the operation of hospitals and academies. They have the right to ask for help, but they can never interfere."


    Liu Xiu said, "that''s the general rule."


    Kuai liang thought about it and said, "king, there is one more thing. Although you are a king, your royal concubines and side concubines need to be determined. "


    Liu Xiu calm expression, said: "this is very easy, Yueying is princess, the rest of the people are side princess."


    "Yes


    Kuai Liang nodded and nodded.


    After the general thing was settled, Kuai Liang and Yi Ji left.


    When they got out of the palace, they went to the Yamen.


    When they came to the yamen, they called the following officials. First, they warned everyone not to leak information, and then they discussed the arrangement of Guan Yu''s official position one by one.


    Each time period is determined and all of them are written into the playing table.


    It took three days for everything to be decided, but this is only the first draft.


    Kuai Liang and Yi Ji revised again. After everything was revised, a few days passed.


    On November 26, Yi Ji and Kuai Liang arrived at the palace.


    Give the listed results to Liu Xiu. After reading them, Liu Xiu smiles. Sure enough, it is appropriate to give it to Kuai Liang and Yi Ji. They have arranged everything clearly.


    The only thing that has not been confirmed is the position of governor of Jingzhou.


    The staffing of this post is vacant.


    Liu Xiu looked at all of them, then looked at Kuai Liang and said, "zirou, about the candidate of Jingzhou governor, I''m going to send him back to serve as governor of Jingzhou. What do you think?"


    Kuai Yue has been the prefect of Wuling County for several years.


    In terms of talent, Kuai Yue is more than enough to be the prefect.


    Serving as a governor of a state is also competent.Yi Ji looks at Kuai Liang with a look of admiration on his face. Kuai Liang, one of the three brothers of Liu Xiu''s family, is bound to become a marquis and minister in the future, and Kuai Yue''s leap to become an assassin is also extraordinary. Kuai Qi has a bright future in Changsha County.


    As Kuai Yue''s brother, Kuai Liang is not easy to speak.


    Kuai Liang said, "it''s all up to the king."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "that''s the decision."


    "Yes, I will take the place of my brother, King Xie."


    It means that Kuai Liang''s younger brother, Liu Xiu, is the most joyful one.


    Liu Xiu said, "there is one more thing about the royal guards. The royal guards are directly under my jurisdiction. For the time being, no official posts will be set up. Just follow the system of the royal guards. "


    "Yes


    Kuai Liang and Yi Ji answered at the same time.


    Liu Xiu said: "this plan is feasible and can be arranged directly."


    "No!"


    After Yi Ji and Kuai Liang left, they soon issued orders in the name of the king of Chu. It was Kuai Yue who was promoted to be the governor of Jingzhou. Huang Hu also became the main general of the guards, and shamoko became the deputy general.


    The implementation of the official posts in hospitals and academies makes the treatment of teachers in academies and hospitals go up.


    For a time, there was an endless stream of people who wanted to work in the academy and hospital.


    Compared with officialdom, academies and hospitals are more popular.


    On this day, the royal guards Deng Zhan came to Liu Xiu''s palace.


    When Deng Zhan saw Liu Xiu, he knelt down with a plop and said, "Your Majesty, I don''t accept your humble duty."


    "Why not?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Deng Zhan replied: "the adjustment of officials under the king''s command, whether civil or military, has made a big change. However, the royal guards under their humble command have not made any adjustments, which is unfair. "


    Liu Xiu said: "how unfair?"


    Deng Zhan said: "the people of the royal guards, there is no adjustment at all."


    Liu xiudao: "how to adjust?"


    "At least, there should be a clear division of official positions, just like military generals," Deng said


    Liu Xiu shook his head and looked disappointed.


    Liu Xiu said, "Deng Zhan, you still don''t understand the royal guards."


    Deng Zhandao: "please make it clear to your majesty."


    Liu Xiu''s expression was calm, and he said slowly, "what if I give it to you? What if I don''t give it to you? There is a clear division of official positions in the royal guards. As long as someone turns over the crime and needs to be thoroughly investigated by the royal guards. Even a small soldier of the royal guards can capture a prefectural governor. "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "if the royal guards don''t need to thoroughly investigate the case, then there is nothing wrong with the royal guards. Even if it is you, you can''t arrest a small assistant official."


    Deng Zhan nodded and agreed, with a look of approval on his face.


    Liu Xiu continued: "the identity of the royal guards does not belong to the official system, but directly belongs to the king. If you want to be an official, you are going the wrong way. "


    "Gudong!"


    Deng Zhan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, with a trace of fear in his eyes.


    He angered Liu Xiu.


    Deng Zhan kowtowed his head to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I understand. Please forgive me."


    Originally, Deng Zhan was really unwilling.


    But now, Deng Zhan''s heart is extinguished, because his rights come from Liu Xiu. Moreover, the royal guards are not only responsible for supervising local officials, but also for inquiring into other intelligence. Comparatively speaking, this strike is a very important institution.


    Now what Deng Zhan wants is obviously beyond Liu Xiu''s plan.


    Liu Xiu said, "do you really understand?"


    "Yes, I understand."


    Deng Zhan''s hot heart cooled down. He didn''t think about anything else in his heart. He just wanted to stabilize the current situation.

 Chapter 625

    Everything in Jingzhou has gradually stabilized.


    The military system, the civil service system and the royal guards all perform their duties.


    Everyone, do their own job.


    Everything, everything is developing steadily.


    In December, the students of lumen college will finish their studies and prepare to be assigned to Liangzhou and Yizhou.


    All the scholars got the news about the benefits of being a magistrate.


    So no one has any opinion.


    Everyone agrees. The reason is that Liu Xiu has set the tone. In the future, anyone who wants to be a prefect or an assassin needs to have a grassroots resume.


    On this day, the lumen academy Jingzhou general hospital.


    School yard!


    All 432 students who are about to graduate are standing in order below.


    On the high platform in front of him, Liu Xiu stood in awe.


    Today, Liu Xiu is dressed in crown clothes and nine Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao Diao.


    The students below, with solemn expression on their faces and reverence in their eyes.


    Among the students, there are aristocratic families and poor families.


    Whether he was from a noble family or a poor family, he had great admiration for Liu Xiu. At such a young age, Liu Xiu''s ability to defeat Cao Cao and defeat Sun Quan is no longer simple.


    Liu Xiu took a deep breath and said in a loud voice, "I heard that you are going to take up your post in Yizhou or Liangzhou. There are 432 people in your session. None of them will stay and all of them are willing to go. That''s very good. "


    "This proves that all the people under my command are courageous."


    "But I want to tell you that adversity is always the best sharpening stone."


    "When you go down, you will certainly encounter all kinds of difficulties."


    "But in my opinion, the greater the difficulties you encounter, the greater your future achievements. Because you have encountered difficulties, overcome them, solve them, that is your ability. "


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were solemn and said, "among you, you should all know Kuai Yue, the new governor of Jingzhou."


    "This man went to Wuling County before."


    "Everyone knows that Wuling county is full of difficulties, not only because there are many mountains and lots of land, but also because there are too many barbarians in Wuling county. Because these people live in the mountains for generations, it is difficult to educate them."


    "But Kuai Yue was not afraid."


    "After Kuai Yue went to Wuling County, in a short time, he calmed down the chaos of wuximan, moved wuximan out of the mountain forest, set up schools, and educated wuximan, making wuximan become wuximen, and let them integrate into the common people."


    Liu Xiu said, "what is political achievement is political achievement."


    "You are the future of Jingzhou and even the world, so I hope you will not give up whenever you encounter difficulties. If you can''t keep going, stop and think about it. Why do you want to go? "


    "Think about it and go on fighting."


    "So all the difficulties, that''s not a problem."


    Liu Xiu said: "when you are on your way, I send you a sentence: please go elsewhere to get promoted and get rich. You are afraid of death. I hope you will remember this sentence. "


    Everyone heard the words with a solemn expression.


    If you want to get a promotion and get rich, please go elsewhere.


    That''s a good thing to say.


    Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan were also below. Their eyes were shining with praise.


    That''s a good thing to say.


    Liu Xiu looked at everyone and continued: "when you are leaving, I will send you another word. This is also my ambition and motto - to set up my heart for heaven and earth, to set up my life for the people, to continue to the unique learning of saints, and to open up the peace of the world."


    Boom!


    There was a look of admiration in the eyes of countless people.


    This is a very good sentence.


    One by one, they look at Liu Xiu and worship him.


    After Liu Xiu finished, he stepped down from the stage. Then Pang Degong stepped on the stage and talked about it. Finally, he dismissed everyone.


    After a tour of the Academy, Liu Xiu went back to the palace.


    However, Liu Xiu didn''t have too many affairs in his hands. Most of the government affairs were handled by Yi Ji and Kuai Liang, and the military affairs involved were taken over by Pang Tong, Jia Xu and FA Zheng, so Liu Xiu was quite relaxed.


    Time is like running water. It''s 211 A.D.


    March is a good time for spring outing.


    Liu Xiu took his wife and children out of the city for an outing in lumen mountain.


    It is worth mentioning that the rest of Liu Xiu''s youngest wife is still not pregnant. Liu Xiu still has only Liu Zhen as an heir. As Liu Zhen grew up, he became more lively and lovely, which made Ma Yunlu, Shi Xuan and sun Shangxiang greedy.


    Now Liu Zhen, it is a collection of thousands of favorite in one.


    The advantage of having a son is that no one is fighting for it, and the whole family is happy.


    Liu Xiu went back to his study.Deng Zhan came to his study and reported: "king, most of the officials who have been arranged to Liangzhou and Yizhou counties have performed well. Under their governance, Liangzhou and Yizhou burst out with vitality. Today''s Liangzhou and Yizhou can be described as an iron wall, which can''t be easily incited. "


    "Good!"


    There was a smile in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    It''s wonderful to have so many benefits.


    Liu Xiu asked, "what about Cao Wei and Dongwu?"


    Deng Zhan replied: "in the Wei Dynasty, I heard that Cao Cao''s health was going from bad to worse, and his head wind disease broke out from time to time. Today, Cao Cao has begun to decentralize power. Cao Pi, as the eldest of all CHILDES, began to contact with government affairs. Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang have also come into contact with government affairs. Some officials under Cao Cao''s command have begun to differentiate and choose their respective loyal targets. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "it seems that Cao Cao did not listen to the advice of the king."


    Deng Zhan looked puzzled.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "when I met Cao Cao in Chang''an, I suggested Cao Cao to make Cao Pi the son of the world, because Cao Pi was the most suitable one. But looking at the current situation, I''m afraid Cao Cao is still hesitant. "


    Deng Zhandao said: "Cao Cao''s sons have their own strong points, but they are all excellent. It''s normal for Cao Cao to hesitate."


    After a pause, Deng Zhan added: "in this year, Sun Quan of the eastern Wu Dynasty, on the one hand, stabilized his rights, on the other hand, he wantonly reorganized the army and trained new soldiers and water forces. In other respects, Sun Quan did not make any move. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "what about Ma Chao and Yan Pu?"


    Liu Xiu is still worried about Ma Chao and Yan Pu.


    Ma Chao is the governor of Liangzhou for the time being, but he will definitely step down in the future. It is impossible for Ma Chao to take the post.


    Yan Pu is the future governor of Liangzhou, but now he can only assist Ma Chao.


    Deng Zhan''s expression was calm and he said, "I''ll tell you back. They get along well. All the government affairs in Ma Chao''s hands have been decentralized. Most of the time, Ma Chao is just a company of soldiers and does nothing. They complement each other. "


    Liu Xiu continued: "very good!"


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "from now on, you will try your best to penetrate Xuchang and Nanyang County. The next war was to attack Cao Cao. We must make early preparations for this war. "


    "I understand!"


    Deng exhibition should be next, way: "Ye City aspect?"


    Liu xiudao: "if you can penetrate into Yecheng, naturally it is the best thing. But now it is not easy to penetrate into Yecheng. "


    Deng Zhandao: "the humble Vocational Association is fully operational."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and Deng Zhan left.


    Liu Xiu''s days are just like now. He deals with government affairs from time to time, listens to Deng Zhan''s reports from time to time, and makes more efforts to create people.


    Time is like running water. 211 years have passed.


    In 212 A.D., Liu Xiu''s foundation became deeper and deeper, and his power to control his subordinates became stronger and stronger. In August 213, Liu Xiu had been here for almost eight years.


    Now Liu Xiu has a beard on his lower lip.


    The so-called "Yang Yi Ti Ju Yi Qi" has long been in a high position, and Liu Xiu''s upper position has a stronger bearing.


    Every move, with dignity.


    After reading the news, Liu Xiu found that all the grain had been harvested this year. All the grain has been put into the warehouse.


    After reading the data, Liu Xiu had a smile on his face.


    After more than two years, Liu Xiu''s forces are enough to start the next war.

 Chapter 626

    Sitting in his study, Liu Xiu ordered: "Deng Zhan!"


    "Your Highness!"


    Deng Zhan came in and saluted.


    Liu Xiu said, "immediately invite Pang Tong, Jia Xu, FA Zheng, Kuai Liang and Yi Ji to discuss the matter."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan was ordered to turn around and go down to arrange.


    These people all worked in the government and soon came to Liu Xiu''s study.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "sit down!"


    All of them sat down and their eyes fell on Liu Xiu.


    At this moment, everyone''s heart, are vaguely guess things, so one by one are quite excited.


    After more than two years, the war finally started again.


    Liu Xiu said, "I called you here today to discuss the attack on Cao Cao. I have checked this year''s harvest, and now there is enough grain in the government''s coffers. Jingzhou has the foundation to fight again. "


    Yi Ji said: "Your Highness is right. Now Jingzhou can fight against Cao Cao."


    After more than two years of development, today''s Jingzhou is no longer what it used to be.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Kuai Liang and said, "zirou, you immediately give an order to remove Ma Chao from the official post of Liangzhou governor and transfer him to wenpin as the Deputy General of wenpin. Yan Pu is the free governor of Liangzhou. "


    "Yes


    Kuai Liang nodded. It was not a difficult task to dispatch Ma Chao.


    In fact, Ma Chao had sent documents before, hoping that Yan Pu would take over as the governor of Liangzhou.


    Liu Xiu looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, you have deduced the battle with Cao Cao many times. How to start this war? "


    Jia Xu asked the servant to take out the map, then went to the huge map, pointed to the map and said: "next, we will fight Cao Cao in two ways. The first route, of course, was the 60000 troops led by Wen pin. They left Chang''an in the East, went to Hongnong and Luoyang, and then went to Jizhou in the north. On the second road, Zhang Ren''s fifth army went northward to Xuchang and attacked Yanzhou. "


    "When we go north to attack Cao Cao, we must guard against Sun Quan''s sneak attack."


    "Therefore, we suggest that Zhao Yun''s third army should be dispatched to Changsha County in case of Zhou Yu''s attack."


    "Taishici led his troops to Jiangxia, Zhao Yun to Changsha, and Huang Zhong to Jiaozhou. If the three armies are stable, we will not be afraid of Sun Quan in this battle. "


    Jia Xu said: "as long as we defeat Cao Cao, the overall situation of the war will be decided and there will be no further influence."


    After listening, Liu Xiu''s face showed a look of thinking.


    In fact, Jia Xu''s proposal is not much different from the one he put forward when he met Mr. pound to discuss the situation. In the same way, they all go to Hanzhong in the north and Chang''an in the East. Then, we will cooperate with Jingzhou to send troops. "


    Liu Xiu said, "are the rest of the weapons and grain ready?"


    Kuai Liang replied, "report back to your highness. Everything is ready. You can go to war at any time."


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu nodded and his face was full of smiles.


    Only when the logistics of the war are ready can we go all out to fight.


    Liu Xiu said: "in this battle, Kuai Liang and Yi Ji were still in Xiangyang. Pang Tong, Jia Xu and FA Zheng, as well as the guards, followed me to Nanyang County. The army went north to attack Cao Cao."


    "No!"


    When they heard the words, they all answered.


    Liu Xiu looked at Kuai Liang and said, "Zi Rou, prepare to attack Cao Cao, announce the world, and then attack Cao Cao."


    "Yes


    Kuai Liang nodded and wrote it down.


    Liu Xiu also arranged other things, so that everyone would step down.


    Liu Xiu got up and went to the backyard.


    Now that Liu Zhen is four or five years old, she is more intelligent. On the contrary, Liu Xiu''s other women are still not pregnant and don''t know what''s the matter? Even Huang Yueying always pushed Liu Xiu out, but it didn''t succeed.


    However, Liu Xiu didn''t pay much attention to his children.


    Liu Xiu played with his wife and children for a long time and said that he was going north to fight against Cao Cao.


    Huang Yueying said: "when you go here, you must pay attention to your safety and never try to be a hero."


    Liu xiudao: "don''t worry, I can save."


    Huang Yueying said: "husband, I have another request."


    Liu xiudao: "what request?"


    With a smile, Huang Yueying said, "it has been several years since Yunlu married. His parents died, leaving only two elder brothers. This time, my husband will take her North. At that time, she will be able to see her elder brother and relieve the pain of missing her family. "


    After hearing this, Ma Yunlu''s eyes turned red.


    He married Liu Xuan for several years, because Ma Chao had been serving as a governor in Liangzhou, so Ma Yunlu never met Ma Chao.


    Hearing Huang Yueying''s words, I was greatly touched.


    Liu Xiu said, "if you can, let Yunlu go with you.""Thank you, my husband!"


    Ma Yunlu is happy in her heart. She has no complaints about marrying Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu always treated them as husbands and never showed the authority of the king of Chu.


    Especially with Liu Xiu''s growing power, more and more people want to marry their daughter to Liu Xiu.


    However, Liu Xiu still has only four of them.


    In this respect, that is enough.


    Shi Xuan took a look at Ma Yunlu, but she was still secretly glad. Although she has never been back to Jiaozhou, her father, Shi Xie, has been to Xiangyang, so she has met her family several times.


    Shangxi, sitting on one side, could not see sun''s sad face. In fact, her concept of family has long been blurred. Liu Xiu is enough.


    Among the four women, sun Shangxiang is the most complicated.


    Sun Shangxiang, like Ma Yunlu and Shi Xuan, was also a marriage of interests.


    However, sun Shangxiang encounters Liu Xiu and runs away. Finally, his elder brother is eager to marry her and ask for peace. A series of things, let Sun Shangxiang already closed the family.


    Liu Xiu looked at the girls and said, "what''s the matter? One by one, you look depressed. Are you reluctant to leave for your husband. Well, why don''t you all stay with me? "


    "No way!"


    Huang Yueying, Shi Xuan and other four answered in unison.


    The four of them all had a certain age. At this time, they were all ashamed to let them roll the sheets with Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "whatever you do, I''m afraid that if I leave, some people will miss me."


    "I won''t. I''ll just have zhen''er."


    Huang Yueying turned her lips and looked disgusted.


    Just look at Liu Xiu''s eyes, but there is a strong love.


    Shi Xuan and sun Shangxiang also agree with each other. Like Huang Yueying, they both like Liu Xiu very much.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu said, "it''s all right and wrong, ha ha!"


    Joking with his own woman, Liu Xiu was not able to sleep together in the end, but changed several rooms in one night. At the beginning, it was Shi Xuan''s room. After a long time with Shi Xuan, Liu Xiu simply cleaned it up, and then Shi Xuan drove him out of the room. Liu Xiu went to sun Shangxiang''s room again.


    In sun Shangxiang''s room, it is natural to make a lot of changes. Although sun Shangxiang and Liu Xiucheng have been married for many years, so far, they are still slim, especially the pair in front of the chest. With the development of Liu Xiu, they are more and more delicate. Up and down, as if a pinch to water in general.


    Liu Xiu and sun Shangxiang rolled the sheets. They were much more rude than Shi Xuan. Sun Shangxiang could do many things that he couldn''t do. He served Liu Xiu well.


    In the end, after Liu Xiu launched, sun Shangxiang moved his pillow under his buttocks.


    Liu Xiu asked, "Shangxiang, what are you doing?"


    Before, in Shi Xuan''s room, Shi Xuan did the same thing. Now seeing that sun Shangxiang is the same, Liu Xiu''s mind is very strange.


    Sun Shangxiang gave Liu Xiu a white look and said, "naturally, I want to keep my little life. I want to be pregnant."


    "Ha..."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "I hope you are pregnant when I come back."


    Liu Xiu left the room and came to Huang Yueying''s room.


    For Huang Yueying, Liu Xiu''s heart has never changed. Although there are more women, Liu Xiu''s position as Huang Yueying has never wavered and never changed at all.


    Liu Xiu holds Huang Yueying in his arms and whispers. When the feeling is strong, they take off their clothes and sleep.


    After a cloud and rain, Liu Xiu fell asleep with Huang Yueying in his arms.


    The next morning, when Liu Xiu got up, he found that the pillow had already disappeared. When Liu Xiu got up and put on his clothes, he saw that Huang Yueying had come in, prepared the washing utensils, personally served Liu Xiu to wash, and then served Liu Xiu to eat.


    After breakfast, Liu Xiu left the palace with Deng Zhan and went straight to the barracks.

 Chapter 627

    Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan arrive at the barracks, summon Huang Hu and shamoko, and then take the guards north.


    Today''s close guard forces have already expanded.


    On this trip, Huang Hu took 3000 soldiers from Feihu camp, and shamoko also took 3000 barbarians. The soldiers of the flying tiger camp are all the best among the best. They are competent in horse fighting and foot fighting. The 3000 barbarians under shamoko''s command were selected from the tribes of wuximan. They were all the best among the best.


    After leaving Xiangyang, the army quickly entered Nanyang County.


    All the way north, and finally stop in Chaoyang County.


    Chaoyang County is the current seat of Nanyang County, whether Wei Yan or Zhang Ren, are stationed here.


    Liu Xiu arrived with his troops, and Wei Yan and Zhang Ren met him personally.


    When Zhang Ren met Liu Xiu, he bowed his hand and said, "I''ve met your highness, general Zhang Ren."


    "Your Highness!"


    Wei Yan also came forward to salute.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "enter the city!"


    The party entered the city and soon settled down.


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    Take your seat.


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Ren and asked, "Zhang Ren, how many soldiers are there in the Fifth Army now?"


    Zhang Ren replied, "Your Highness, there are 40000 people in the Fifth Army. They are all the best among the best. I know that there will be a war sooner or later, so I am always ready. This army is worthy of a war. "


    There will be a war between Liu Xiu and Cao Cao sooner or later.


    Therefore, Zhang Ren has been preparing for war.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "forty thousand elite, not bad."


    Wei Yan said: "Your Highness, I have a request for humble position."


    "What request?"


    Liu Xiu asked.


    Wei Yan replied: "this time we are at war with Cao Cao. I also want to participate in it. It''s just that his humble position is the prefect of Nanyang County, and he has no time to separate himself. So I hope his highness can rearrange his position. "


    Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "if you rearrange people, there will be trouble. After all, you have been in Nanyang County for such a long time. If you are familiar with the situation, you should arrange someone to replace you for the time being and deal with the daily affairs for you. Then, go north with me. "


    "Thank you, your highness."


    Wei Yan had a brilliant look in his eyes.


    This time, Wei Yan knew that the war with Cao Cao was the last step to unify the world.


    After defeating Cao Cao, Sun Quan was vulnerable.


    So if you want to earn credit, you can count on this time. Liu Xiu asked Zhang Ren and Wei Yan to handle the matter well. The next morning, he led the army northward and headed for Xinye county.


    ¡­¡­


    Xiliang, Weiwu county.


    Assassin''s mansion!


    Today''s Ma Chao is more calm and dignified than the previous two years.


    It''s just that Ma Chao still has something on his mind.


    Father''s Revenge has not been avenged!


    No matter how well Liangzhou develops, Ma Chao still dares not forget his parents'' hatred.


    In the study.


    Ma Chao took the trouble to deal with government affairs, and approved the things one by one.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A rapid sound of footsteps came from outside.


    Yan Pu came in in a hurry, with a dignified expression on his face.


    Ma Chao saw Yan Pu and said, "Sir, please sit down!"


    In the past two years in Liangzhou, Yan Pu has been the assistant of everything, and Ma Chao has been used to the existence of Yan Pu. Without Yan Pu''s help, Ma Chao could not have been in Liangzhou.


    After sitting down, Yan Pu said, "my Lord, I just received the news from Xiangyang. His Highness has already issued an address against Cao Cao. "


    "Really?"


    Ma Chao was excited and looked excited.


    Ma Chao asked, "is there any news about me?"


    Yan Pu arched his hand and said, "congratulations to you, your highness. You are going to appoint you as the Deputy General of wenpin general to help him attack Jizhou. In this battle, the general can get what he wants and go straight to Cao Cao''s hometown. "


    "Good, good, good!"


    There is a touch of excitement in Ma Chao''s eyes.


    Finally!


    Ma Chao knew that Liu Xiu would attack Cao Cao sooner or later. He waited for two years, and finally he did.


    Suddenly, Ma Chao asked, "after I left, where is Mr. Yan?"


    Yan Pu said: "Your Highness appointed a humble position as the governor of Liangzhou and presided over the situation of Liangzhou."


    Ma Chao nodded: "with you, I''m relieved."


    More than two years ago, Yanpu''s footprints have spread all over Liangzhou. In the first half of the year, Yanpu will stay in Weiwu county to deal with the government affairs, but in the second half of the year, Yanpu will walk in each county to understand the situation of each county and formulate development strategies for each county.


    It can be said that most people know Yan Pu and are more convinced of him.


    If Yan Pu takes over Liangzhou, there will be no problem.


    All of a sudden, Yan Pu''s face became more serious and said, "my Lord, when I leave, there are some words in my humble position. I don''t know what to say."Ma Chao kept smiling and said, "between you and me, why do you have to be like this, just say it."


    "Master Yan has been used to being the first commander in the garden. But I''m afraid I won''t get used to it when I get under the command of general wenpin, so please be able to restrain your character and get used to the next situation. "


    Ma Chao laughed and said, "don''t worry, Mr. Yan. I will pay attention to this. I''m not very interested in power. The most important thing is to be able to avenge my father. "


    Yan Pu said: "the second point of humble position is about revenge. Adults are eager to avenge their father. In many cases, they are easily blinded by revenge. After all, the onlookers see clearly, and those in charge are confused. Perhaps, adults think that there are different ways to March and fight. They can defeat Cao Cao and get revenge at the same time. "


    "But general Wen''s consideration may not be the same. His consideration may be based on a large-scale whole, ignoring the adult''s desire for revenge."


    "I want to say that I hope adults can guard against arrogance and impatience."


    "I''ve been waiting so long. Do you still care about that?"


    "More patience, more waiting, nothing."


    Yan Pu said: "after all, Wen pin is the chief General of the army. Once the relationship between the adults and Wen pin gets stiff, it will be quite troublesome. Not only the general, but even the adult''s sister will be affected. So before doing things, adults should consider not only the enmity of their parents, but also the situation of their sisters. "


    Ma Chao was moved by this.


    Yan Pu''s words are the words of a mature man. They are all for him.


    Ma Chao stood up, arched his hand and said, "I will remember your humble duty when you teach me."


    Yan Pu said, "if you understand, please!" After a pause, Yanpu arched his hand and said, "here is my humble position. I wish you will go to wenpin general''s command and win the battle


    "Mr. Cheng is lucky."


    Ma Chao smiles, and he is also looking forward to it.


    It took Ma Chao a day to hand over everything to Yan Pu, and then he left Weiwu county and headed for Chang''an with Ma Dai and pound.


    ¡­¡­


    Liu Xuan issued an address, and the news of the army''s dispatch soon spread to Xinye County in the north.


    Cao Ren was stationed here, and XiahouDun came from Yecheng.


    When Cao Ren got the news, he called XiahouDun together to discuss the countermeasures.


    Cao Ren looked at Xia Houdun and said, "Yuan rang, Liu Xiu personally led the army to attack Xinye county. Now Xinye has made waves. This time, how do we deal with it? "


    "That''s it," said XiahouDun


    XiahouDun still remembered that XiaHouYuan and xiahouba were killed in the past.


    Although Xia Houyuan was not his brother, he was also inherited from him.


    Now, it''s just him.


    It was conceivable that the anger in XiahouDun''s heart.


    Xia Houdun''s face was cold, his eyes were solemn, and he continued: "this time, we must kill Liu Xiu. If you don''t kill Liu Xiu, you will never stop. "


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came in.


    After the soldiers entered, they reported: "general Cao, I just got news from Luoyang. The wenpin army stationed in Chang''an started to move towards Luoyang. "


    "I see!"


    Cao Ren waved his hand and asked the soldiers to step down.


    Cao Ren looked at Xia Houdun and said, "Yuan rang, Liu Xiu''s army is divided into two routes. All the way to Chang''an, all the way to Nanyang. It seems that Liu Xiu is going to go hand in hand and attack the king of Wei together. "


    There was a strong sense of war in XiahouDun''s eyes, and he said, "fight, who is afraid of who!"


    For this battle, harhoughton had been looking forward to it for a long time.

 Chapter 628

    "Newspaper!"


    Outside the room, another soldier came in in a hurry.


    The soldier looked solemn and reported: "my Lord, the king of Wei is coming. He is about to arrive at Xinye county."


    "Ah


    In Cao Ren''s eyes, he was shocked.


    Cao Ren did not expect that Cao Cao would come in such a short time, which is surprising.


    Cao Ren said, "I''ll meet you right away."


    "Yes


    As the soldier retreated, Cao Ren looked at XiahouDun and said in a deep voice, "Yuan rang, let''s go." Two people out of the yamen, in a hurry to go out, soon came to the gate.


    Cao Ren and Xia Houdun waited for a short time, and the army led by Cao Cao arrived.


    This time, Cao Cao brought not only tigers and leopards, but also more than 30000 soldiers.


    In addition, Cao Ren''s troops stationed in Xinye were more than 50000.


    Cao Ren went up and came to Cao Cao. He hugged his fist and said, "at the end of the day, I will meet the king of Wei."


    "Don''t be polite!"


    Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "go, enter the city!"


    "No!"


    Cao Ren bowed his hand and followed him to the city.


    After entering the city, the army was stationed, and Cao Cao, Cao Ren, Xia Houdun and others were all in the barracks.


    Chinese army big account!


    Please take your seat!


    Cao Cao looked at the people under his command and said, "if you go to Nanyang County alone, you are going to fight Liu Xiu again and wipe out Liu Xiu''s power at one stroke. Although Liu Xiubing out of Chang''an, Yanzhou, but the key to Liu Xiu is Nanyang County. As long as Nanyang County fails in the first World War, Liu Xiu will have no choice but to retreat, and Jingzhou will lose its barrier. In this war, we have a chance to win. Do you have any suggestions on this war, gentlemen? "


    Xun you said, "the king of Wei, we are going to attack Liu Xiu this time. I suggest that Liu Xiu should be outflanked."


    "How to outflank?"


    Cao Cao looked forward to it.


    Everyone here has seen Liu Xiu.


    In the art of war, Liu Xiu did not lose to Cao Cao.


    So Cao Cao and Liu Xiu fight, the heart is also very cautious, without a trace of contempt for the enemy.


    Xun you came to the map hanging in the tent and said, "we are in Xinye County of Nanyang, and Liu Xiu is in Chaoyang County. If we attack Liu Xiu, it will not be easy for us to get benefits. "


    "The best result is to force Liu Xiu out of the city for a decisive battle, which is conducive to the victory of our cavalry."


    "But if Liu Xiu doesn''t leave the city, he has to find another way."


    Xun you pointed to the map and said, "on both sides of Chaoyang County are Yin county and Huyang County, which is our goal. Chen Bing, the king of Wei, confronted Liu Xiu''s army in Xinye county. Then, troops were sent to attack the two counties, and the retreat of Chaoyang County and Deng county was cut off. Once the back road is cut off, Liu Xiu will become a lone army. "


    "In this battle, as long as we defeat Liu Xiu, the army of Chang''an will collapse."


    "The key is the fighting between the king of Wei and Liu Xiu."


    Xun you''s eyes twinkled with wisdom and said, "whether we can succeed depends on whether we can win Liu Xiu."


    After hearing this, Cao Cao said, "Gongda, if you look at it from another angle. If Liu Xiu defeats Wang, it also means that our situation will be extremely dangerous, and we will be defeated like a mountain and driven by Liu Xiu. Even the first World War in Chang''an will be affected, right? "


    "The king of Wei is wise!"


    Xun you nodded and answered.


    Now the two sides have launched a decisive battle, which is a king to King posture.


    Before that, Liu Xiu and Cao Cao fought in Chang''an. Although Cao Cao was defeated in that war, Liu Xiu''s foundation in Yizhou was not stable and he had just won Liangzhou, so it was difficult to launch a general attack.


    Even if Cao Cao was defeated, Liu Xiu could not attack.


    This time, however, it was different. Liu Xiu''s foundation in Yizhou and Liangzhou had been solid, and he had been in Jingzhou and Jiaozhou for many years.


    This time Liu Xiu launched an attack to win Cao Cao.


    The fight between the two sides is the result of the separation of life and death.


    Cao Cao, with a dignified expression, looked at the people under his command and asked, "what else do you suggest, gentlemen?"


    Cheng Yu said: "the king of Wei, the old man suggested that he send an elite team to lurk quietly on the road from Jingzhou to Yizhou. If we beat Liu Xiu, then Liu Xiu is bound to flee to Yizhou. If Liu Xiu enters Yizhou and wants to attack Liu Xiu again, it will add countless variables. It''s right to make preparations early now. "


    Cao Cao nodded his head and said, "Duke Zhong De''s words are reasonable, so it should be."


    Chen Qun said: "the king of Wei, the soldiers are crafty. When we are at war with Liu Xiu, should we mobilize Sun Quan? Let Sun Quan attack Liu Xiu behind his back. "


    Today''s Sun Quan has been dormant.


    Sun Quan didn''t provoke Liu Xiu or Cao Cao. On the contrary, he was like an outsider.


    Although Sun Quan is an insignificant chess piece, if used, it is also a crucial chess piece, which can influence the war situation at a critical time.Cao Cao said: "in recent years, Sun Quan did not dare to conflict with Liu Xiu. Moreover, we fought with Liu Xiu several times, and Sun Quan never participated. I''m afraid it''s not good to let Sun Quan do it now. "


    Xun you said, "King Wei, you have to have a try to know."


    Cheng Yu stroked his mustache and said, "I agree with you. Sun Quan is not incompetent. He can bear it. He is a hero. However, his strength is not strong, so he dare not deal with Liu Xiu. But today''s situation is different. If Sun Quan doesn''t fight, once we are defeated by Liu Xiu, Sun Quan can''t escape being attacked by Liu Xiu. "


    When he said this, Cao Cao''s face was not very good-looking.


    Broken by Liu Xiu!


    In this case, it''s really harsh.


    However, Cao Cao has to admit that compared with Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu has an advantage.


    Liu Xiu occupied Yizhou, Liangzhou, Jingzhou and Jiaozhou. Although there were only four states, Yizhou and Jiaozhou were vast and rich in products, which greatly guaranteed Liu Xiu''s food and grass.


    Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu really has the upper hand.


    That''s the truth!


    Cao Cao took a deep breath, thought about it and said, "I''ll send a letter to Wu County and ask Sun Quan to send troops. I hope Sun Quan will send troops to attack Liu Xiu. "


    Cheng Yu said: "the king of Wei is wise!"


    Cao Cao said, "do you have any other suggestions?"


    When they heard the words, they said nothing.


    Cao Cao then ordered: "XiahouDun, listen to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    XiahouDun stepped forward and saluted.


    Cao Cao said: "I give you ten thousand talents to attack Huyang county. Can you take it in three days? "


    XiahouDun said: "the end will surely live up to its mission!"


    "Good!"


    Cao Cao nodded with a solemn expression.


    Cao Cao said: "Cao Ren, listen to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Cao Ren stood up and saluted.


    Cao Cao said, "I will give you ten thousand talents to attack Yin county. It''s also three days. Can you take it? "


    Cao Ren said: "the end will certainly complete the task!"


    Cao Cao nodded and said, "time is pressing. Let''s go down."


    "No!"


    XiahouDun and caoren saluted and turned down.


    Cao Cao and the others discussed the next transfer of soldiers in Xinye, and then wrote a letter to Cheng Yu for arrangement. As the crowd dispersed, Cao Cao sat alone in the camp with an expectant look on his face.


    It is also his expectation to fight Liu Xiu.


    This battle has finally come!

 Chapter 629

    After Cao Cao arranged for two armies to leave, he stationed in Xinye.


    At present, Cao Cao is most suitable for static braking.


    Therefore, Cao Cao chose to be stationed.


    When Cao Cao was stationed, Liu Xiu had led his troops from Chaoyang County to Xinye county.


    On the March, Liu Xiu still sent sentries to inquire about the news of all parties.


    Into the night!


    The army encamped.


    In the accounts of the Chinese army.


    Jia Xuduan sat down and said, "Your Highness, just received the news that Cao Cao has divided his troops. Some of the troops went to Yin County, and some to Huyang County, intending to entrap us. "


    With a smile in his mouth, Liu Xiu said, "Cao Cao is really calculating."


    Jia Xu said: "Cao Cao has a plan. When does his highness plan to start the plan?"


    Liu xiudao: "the chess pieces we put in are very important. Please don''t move. If you don''t move, you must give Cao Cao a fatal blow. "


    Now Liu Xiu has successfully planted an important chess piece under Cao Cao''s command.


    All these years, he didn''t do anything.


    In addition to recuperation, he also planted spies to enter Cao Cao''s inner circle.


    In the same way, Cao Cao also planted spies, intending to break into Liu Xiu''s interior, but there was Deng Zhan beside Liu Xiu, and Deng Zhan sent people to investigate, which led to the loss of Cao Cao''s spies.


    Jia Xu thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I''ve thought about it. It''s better to do this."


    "What to do?"


    Liu Xiu asked.


    He has always been very confident in Jia Xu''s tactics.


    Jia Xu said: "give up Yin county and Huyang County, so as to paralyze Cao Cao. Then we send an elite team to kill Xia Houdun and Cao Ren quietly. We will arrange people to resist their way, but we never expect that his highness will suddenly send troops to kill him. "


    Pang Tong also had a bright eye and a smile on his face and said, "Your Highness, I also agree with Mr. Wen he''s analysis. For now, that''s the best strategy. "


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu nodded and responded directly.


    Liu Xiu asked again, "how to arrange it?"


    Jia Xu said: "if we want to paralyze Cao Cao and Xia Houdun and Cao Ren, naturally we can''t show our flaws. So now, your Highness has to move on and meet with Cao Cao. Even Zhang Ren, as the head of the army, had to go with the Lord so as not to show his flaws. "


    "I think we can mobilize Wei Yan to lead some soldiers to ambush XiahouDun."


    "In addition, Huang Hu led his army to ambush Cao Ren."


    Jia Xu''s eyes twinkled with light, and said: "if two armies go to ambush, once they win, then this battle is equivalent to cutting out Cao Cao''s two most important arms. Cao Cao will lose the battle. "


    Pang Tong put forward different opinions and said: "Huang Hu is the close guard around the Lord. If he doesn''t, it''s easy to arouse Cao Cao''s suspicion. So I think we should send someone else. As the head of the army, general Zhang Ren must stay with his highness. However, Zhang Ren''s men are also outstanding, so he can arrange a general to go. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Zhang Ren, do you have someone to recommend?"


    Zhang Ren was overjoyed. Now he recommended someone to go, which is equivalent to arranging someone to receive military merit.


    Zhang Ren will not miss such a good thing.


    Zhang Ren said: "Your Highness, Deng yuan, a valiant general under your humble command, is a rare intellectual general who is good at both literature and martial arts. If he leads his troops to ambush Cao Ren, it will be all right. "


    Without hesitation, Liu Xiu said directly, "OK, that''s it. Wei Yan ambushed Xia Houdun and Deng yuan ambushed Cao Ren


    Immediately, Liu Xiu discussed the details with Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Wei Yan, Zhang Ren and others.


    With all the plans in place, Liu Xiu arranged for Wei Yan and Deng yuan to take action overnight.


    Wei Yan and Deng yuan each had 6000 soldiers, and a total of 12000 left.


    Today, tens of thousands of Liu Xiu''s troops have left more than 10000, which is hard to have a huge impact on Liu Xiu.


    The next morning, the army continued to set out.


    The army ran towards Xinye County, and the army entered Xinye county without resistance. It was smooth all the way, and soon arrived outside Xinye city to confront Cao Cao''s army.


    Cao Cao and Liu Xiu met before the battle.


    Liu Xiu looked at Cao Cao with a smile in his eyes. He said with a smile, "King Wei, you have grown old after years of absence. Are you old enough to compete with the king? "


    Cao Cao laughed and said, "I''m not old enough to hold a bow. Although I am old, I have a good spirit. Thank you for your concern. "


    Liu xiudao: "I heard that the king of Wei had a head disease again. In a word, I know some doctors who have fantastic ideas and excellent abilities. And recently, they have a new way to cure your headacheCao Cao said: "thank you for your concern!"


    Liu Xiu said: "it''s just this kind of headache. The treatment is different. Instead of pouring wine or taking medicine, they cut the scalp with a knife and then open the skull for treatment. As long as the king of Wei is willing to have a try, he can completely relieve the influence of headache. "


    Cao Cao was furious when he heard the speech.


    Can you survive with your scalp and skull?


    Liu Xiu deliberately humiliated him.


    Cao Cao took a deep breath, his eyes showed a cautious look, and said in a loud voice: "the king of Chu teased me like this, could it be that he could only show his ferocity. If the king of Chu wants to go to war, then go to war. "


    Thinking of his headache, Cao Cao decided to have a bad headache.


    Liu Xiu said: "in the past, when the king of Wei went to Jingzhou, he was defeated by his own king. Coming back now is just a repetition of the same mistakes. So, I''m not in a hurry. Let''s talk about headache for a moment. "


    Cao Cao big sleeve a brush, way: "don''t bother you!"


    Liu xiudao said: "I have to worry about it. At any rate, the king and the king of Wei are confidants."


    Xun you stood next to Cao Cao and said, "king, Liu Xiu is just trying to be fierce. I don''t know what he really is? I suggest that General Xu Chu lead the tiger and leopard to fight and try Liu Xiu''s fighting power. "


    "Yes


    Cao Cao nodded, then arranged it directly.


    "Liu Xiu, take your life!"


    Xu Chu was very angry with Liu Xiu. He had long wanted to kill Liu Xiu.


    However, Xu Chu didn''t get any benefits everywhere, so he was very angry. This time he saw Liu Xiu again and fought with his soldiers, Xu Chu was full of fighting spirit and wanted revenge.


    "Kill


    Xu Chu roared and went out with a long knife.


    Huang Hu stood beside Liu Xiu with a golden hammer in a drum jar. When he saw Xu Chu fighting, he gave a cold hum and said, "Your Highness, please allow the last general to fight."


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu nodded without hesitation.


    In terms of martial arts, Huang Hu suppressed Xu Chu.


    Even though Xu Chu took the tiger and leopard to fight, he still could not get the benefit from the army led by Huang Hu.


    Both of them are fighting with high morale. As soon as they turn around, they fight each other.

 Chapter 630

    Huang Hu''s two golden hammers, which are used to beat drums and urn, have always been able to lower ten skills with one strength.


    Xu Chu''s long sword is invincible.


    The fight between the two can be described as a good match.


    However, Xu Chu''s strength was poor after all. After dozens of moves with Huang Hu, he couldn''t support himself. The tiger''s mouth was torn.


    "Kill


    Yellow tiger''s eyes, flashing a crazy look.


    He fought Xu Chu several times, but as soon as he was injured, he immediately turned around and ran away like a tortoise.


    This time, Huang Hu will not let Xu Chu escape.


    As soon as the golden hammer of the drum jar swept in the air, Xu Chu''s head fell.


    "Kill


    Xu Chu was also very angry. He held a knife in both hands and blocked it directly.


    "Dang!"


    The two men''s weapons collided with each other.


    Under the pressure of the drum jar and the gold hammer, Xu Chu was overwhelmed, and the horse in his crotch was hissing.


    "Boom!"


    All of a sudden, the horse in the crotch couldn''t bear it, its front hooves bent, and its body fell down. At that moment, Xu Chu''s body shook and fell down from his horse.


    "Death


    The yellow tiger roared and looked forward to it.


    "Hoo


    The golden hammer of the drum jar crossed an arc in the air and directly hit Xu Chu.


    For a moment, Cao Cao could not help exclaiming.


    "Zhong Kang, be careful!"


    In Cao Cao''s eyes, there is a strong worry.


    There are two guards that Cao Cao values most. The first one is Dian Wei. But when he attacked Zhang Xiu, he was intrigued by Jia Xu, so that Dian Wei died in the war to protect him.


    Today, it is Xu Chu.


    Xu Chu was born in a big family, and he was both civil and military. He was loyal and was a rare talent.


    Once Xu Chu had an accident, it was Cao Cao''s loss.


    Cao Cao''s eyes were fixed on the front, and his hands tightly grasped the reins of the horse. He even wanted to rush up to rescue Xu Chu.


    It''s late, it''s fast.


    At the moment of Xu Chu''s fall, a lazy donkey rolled around and avoided the drum jar and the golden hammer.


    "Boom!"


    In a flash, the horse fell to the ground without a sound.


    Xu Chu fell to the ground. When he rolled, he was still holding a long knife in his hand.


    In the moment of looking up, Xu Chu roared and suddenly waved his long knife. A cold light of the sword flashed away in the air. Where the blade passed, the horse''s hooves were cut off and the body fell down.


    "Herod


    The horses whine bitterly, and the yellow tiger falls down immediately.


    "Boom!"


    Huang Hu fell to the ground, and the golden hammer in his hand also fell.


    "Good!"


    Cao Cao watched the scene and couldn''t help shouting. Huang Hu is so fierce, but in the face of Xu Chu''s fight, he is weak after all.


    Cao Cao looked up at Liu Xiu with a proud look.


    Liu Xiu looks calm, not impatient.


    Although Xu Chu took the opportunity of falling to the ground to pull back a city, it was only a trick after all, and it was difficult to be elegant. Liu Xiu also has martial arts skills. He is very good at martial arts, so he knows Huang Hu''s ability.


    Huang Hu can''t lose to Xu Chu.


    There is no suspense about this battle.


    At this time on the battlefield, Xu Chu cut the leg of the horse with a knife, and his eyes were shining.


    Here''s the chance!


    Xu Chu knew it was his chance.


    Whether you can hold it or not depends on this time.


    Xu Chu, a common carp, stood up first. He stood on the ground, while the yellow tiger was still on the ground, holding the long knife tightly in his hands, stomping at his feet, and suddenly roared: "yellow tiger, take your life!"


    With a roar, the blade flashed in the air.


    Mori cold light, flash is gone.


    "Hum!"


    The blade broke through the air and split off in an instant.


    This knife, like the Tianhe upside down, like the Milky Way galloping, mighty, magnificent, two people can not look at.


    Huang Hu is lying on the ground. Seeing this knife, his scalp is numb.


    Xu Chu did his best with this knife.


    Huang Hu is holding a golden hammer in his hand. The hammer is in his hand. It''s not like a long sword or a sword. He can roll freely and avoid quickly. However, the golden hammer in his hand restricted his activities and made it difficult for him to roll at will.


    Only resistance!


    Even if Xu Chu''s knife was sharp, Huang Hu could not avoid it.


    The golden hammer of the drum jar suddenly swept in the air. In an instant, it had already been lifted up and collided with the long knife.


    "Dang!"Weapons hit, sparks splashed.


    Xu Chu''s cutting is from top to bottom, with natural advantages.


    Huang Hu lifts the golden hammer from bottom to top, so he works harder and consumes more power.


    The moment of impact is a contest of strength.


    The blade pressed down hard, making the golden hammer in the air move down and down towards Huang Hu''s chest. If the golden hammer of the drum jar is really pressed on Huang Hu''s body, Huang Hu will have little room to move and will be even more limited.


    "Yes! I''m sorry


    Xu Chu hard force, a little bit of drag blade.


    The blade is still pressing the golden hammer of the drum jar, but it is pulling out a little bit.


    Once the blade completely gets rid of the drum, urn and golden hammer, it will start the rhythm of the next knife. At that time, Huang Hu will fall into a decline completely if he has no time to resist.


    Since Huang Hu followed Liu Xiu, he has experienced many wars and little battles, and he has rich experience.


    He found out Xu Chu''s intention and immediately prepared to take action.


    "Drink!"


    With his left hand, he pulled another golden hammer from the drum jar and smashed it at Xu Chu. A hammer hit out, but see Xu Chu ready, with the help of this hammer bombardment, he immediately got rid of the yellow tiger, the hand of the long knife completely swung, suddenly hit.


    At the moment when Xu Chu swung his sword, Huang Hu knew that this was his chance.


    Lying on the ground, he tugged at the golden hammer of the drum jar with both hands.


    "Kill


    Xu Chu swung a knife and then split it.


    Huang Hu''s eyes twinkled with fine light and said, "kill me!"


    The gold hammer of the drum jar in his left hand was swung, and then directly hit Xu Chu''s knife. The blade collided with the golden hammer of the drum jar, and Huang Hu was still in the downwind because of his poor geographical position. But the next moment, the golden hammer of Huang Hu''s right hand was lifted.


    This time, Huang Hu was ready.


    A hammer across the air, bang ran into the handle of the long knife.


    "Touch!"


    The golden hammer and the handle of the knife collided together. In an instant, Xu Chu''s long knife was shaken out of position, and Xu Chu also stepped back. He thought Huang Hu would attack him with a golden hammer, but he never thought that Huang Hu attacked the handle of the knife.


    With one blow, Xu Chu retreated.


    Huang Hu took advantage of this opportunity, a carp stood up.


    Standing on the ground, Huang Hu grinned.


    "Xu Chu, it''s my turn now."


    There was a flash in his eyes, a roar, and then he rushed up with a golden hammer. In a flash, he was already in front of Xu Chu. The golden hammer of the drum jar was raised and then directly dropped.


    "Kill


    The drum jar and the gold hammer fell down with great momentum.


    Xu Chu raised his sword to fight. At the moment when the weapon collided with the golden hammer of the drum jar, Xu Chu hummed, and the tiger''s mouth cracked directly. He stepped back a few steps, and then stabilized himself.


    Huang Hu, on the other hand, was not affected at all. He constantly swung his drum and urn hammer to launch a fierce attack.


    The golden hammer was flying in the air, forcing Xu Chu to retreat.


    The impact again and again made Xu Chu''s blood churn. Finally, he couldn''t help opening his mouth and spurting blood.


    In the face of Huang Hu''s storm, he could not resist it and had to retreat. He flew away, but Huang Hu wanted to catch up, but Liu Xuan stopped him, and then Shi Shi ran returned to the army.


    Liu Xiu looked at Cao Cao and said, "the king of Wei, Xu Chu is not as good as Huang Hu. It has been clear for a long time. Why did Xu Chu challenge himself beyond his capacity? Just like you, you lost your troops in Xiangyang in the past, and more than 200000 troops were completely lost. When you were in Chang''an, your army fell into the trap one after another, and even Xia Houyuan died. "


    "Now, you have to challenge the king. Why bother?"


    "It is not done by wise men to do what they know is impossible."


    "Cao Cao, whom I know, is a rational person, not an irrational, rash and impulsive person. Wang Wei, withdraw. You will surely lose this battle. "


    Liu Xiu looked confident and his eyes were full of vitality.


    In fact, the more Liu Xiu was like this, the more Cao Cao believed that Liu Xiu did his best and did not send troops to leave.


    Liu Xiu is so aggressive, the purpose is to force Cao Cao, is to confuse Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao is not aware of the changes in his army, so that Cao Cao can not explore the situation of Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 631

    Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu who had escaped and sighed.


    In Cao Cao''s heart, he hoped to win the battle.


    If Huang Hu can be killed, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to Liu Xiu.


    After all, Huang Hu is Liu Xiu''s right-hand man. Unfortunately, he failed. The failure of such a thing has also dealt a great blow to Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao''s psychological quality was excellent after all, and he soon recovered his calm.


    Cao Cao''s eyes twinkled with light, suddenly pulled out his waist sword, and said in a loud voice: "kill!"


    At the command, the troops under his command were killed.


    Xun you looked at the soldiers roaring to kill and said, "King Wei, why do you take the initiative to attack?"


    Cao Cao said: "nature is a probe into Liu Xiu''s virtual reality."


    Since Cao Cao''s division of forces, his forces have also been reduced. It is impossible for him to fight Liu Xiu. This time, he arranged a battle to try Liu Xiu''s army.


    Cao Jun rushed to kill, Liu Xiu did not hesitate, issued the order to rush to kill.


    At the command, the army under his command has rushed up.


    Zhang Ren, as the chief General of the army, was personally in charge of the command of the war.


    Under Zhang Ren''s command, the soldiers under his command fought with Cao''s soldiers in an orderly manner, and there was no sign of panic. At Liu Xiu''s side, the elite led by Huang Hu and Sha Moke did not come out, and they were still in strict array.


    Cao Cao watched the situation and said, "Gongda, look at Liu Xiu''s army. What do you think?"


    Xun you said, "Liu Xiu''s army is in order. It''s really not simple."


    Cheng Yu stroked his white beard under his jaw and said, "this battle, the army sent by Liu Xiu is really elite. Moreover, the flag of this army is the one surnamed Zhang. It seems that it is the army led by general Zhang Ren under Liu Xiu. "


    "Zhang Ren was stationed in Nanyang County, and his soldiers were the elite to resist Cao Ren."


    "Zhang Ren is here, which means that the elite of Nanyang County are here."


    As soon as Cao Xiayan and houye came together, they were in favor of bringing the army of Weiyang and houye together


    "So it is


    Cao Cao nodded with a smile in his eyes.


    Cao Cao hoped that Xu Chu would kill Huang Hu, but the most fundamental purpose was to confuse Liu Xiu and test him.


    Cao Cao let the army to kill, but also to test and confuse Liu Xiu.


    Now seeing that Liu Xiu is surrounded by elite, Cao Cao''s heart is steadfast.


    The army was fighting, but Cao Cao was happy.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were full of expectation. Cao Cao was testing him, and his soldiers were setting up a maze, deliberately trying to confuse Cao Cao and make him think that Liu Xiu''s troops were all here.


    Jia Xu said with a smile: "Your Highness, when Cao Cao sees the command of General Zhang Ren and the formation of Huang Hu, Sha Moke and others, he will naturally believe that this time, his Highness has done his best. In this way, Cao Cao will not doubt it. "


    Pang Tong said: "let Cao Cao be cunning and get into the fox, and he is also trapped."


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly with a bright smile on his face.


    Seeing the fighting going on, Liu Xiu did not order to retreat and waited quietly.


    After fighting for more than half an hour, Liu Xiu didn''t give an order. On the contrary, Cao Cao''s side began to call for a retreat.


    Jia Xu said with a smile: "Your Highness, it''s a success. With Cao Cao''s retreat, our plan is a success."


    "Pang GUI said:" he is no use


    Liu Xiu looked at the retreating Cao soldiers and did not retreat. At this time, it was easy to make Cao Cao suspicious to retreat. Therefore, Liu Xiu ordered the pursuit, and the army then pressed down to avoid being ambushed.


    The army kept on advancing, and after pursuing for less than half an hour, Liu Xiu ordered the troops to stop.


    As Cao Cao retreated into Xinye County, Liu Xiu led his troops to stay outside the city.


    When the army came to camp, Liu Xiu sent people to scold and fight, but Cao Cao didn''t pay any attention to it, but he just couldn''t get out. For the time being, Liu Xiu did not send troops to attack.


    Xinye County, under the governance of Cao Ren, has been continuously strengthened and is a strong city.


    At this time, if you want to capture Xinye County, you will definitely lose a lot. Liu Xiuben had a plan to deal with Cao Cao, so he couldn''t take the initiative to attack the city. He just sent someone to curse Cao Cao, which made him not suspicious.


    Upstairs in shinyecheng.


    Cao Cao put his hands on the female wall and looked at the enemy outside the city. His face was relaxed.


    Cao Cao said, "Gongda, in terms of XiahouDun and Cao Ren, is there any news coming back?"


    Xun you replied, "not for the time being. After all, the two of them are going quietly, so they both travel day and night. It''s not a fast way to get there. "


    Cao Cao nodded.


    All of a sudden, Cao Cao said, "Liu Xiu sent someone to scold and fight. For the time being, he and I are in a stalemate. Do you think Liu Xiu is waiting for the battle in Chang''an direction?"


    Xun you nodded and said, "I can''t rule out this possibility. Liu Xiu and the king of Wei are two armies. No matter which side loses one of our two armies, it will have a huge impact and even affect the whole war situation. Therefore, all of Liu Xiu''s most elite soldiers may be in the direction of Chang''an. "Cao Cao said: "tell the garrison in the direction of Luoyang that there is no need to defend Luoyang and keep Liu Xiu''s army from advancing."


    "Yes


    Xun you nodded.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    Suddenly, Cheng Yu came in a hurry.


    Cheng Yu came to Cao Cao''s side and reported: "the king of Wei has just received the news from the rear. Some of the ministers in the court, because of Liu Xiu''s Crusade, talked a lot and even encouraged the emperor to do something wrong. How to deal with this matter? "


    There are many advantages to Cao Cao''s coercion of the emperor to order the princes.


    However, there are many disadvantages.


    No matter how he wielded the butcher''s knife, there were always loyal people in the court.


    Cao Cao looked cold in his eyes and said, "send a letter back and tell my son Cao Pi to make a strict investigation. All those involved should be killed. Now it''s the critical time to fight with Liu Xiu. We can''t make any mistakes. "


    "Yes


    Cheng Yu nodded, his eyes also flashed cold killing.


    The ministers in the DPRK never really see the situation.


    This time I jumped out to make trouble. I was really looking for my own death. I came to die.


    Cheng Yu went down to the tower and arranged.


    Cao Cao stood on the tower, looking at the people outside the city calling for war and drinking abuse. Suddenly, a smile rose from the corner of his mouth. In this war, he will definitely win and never lose to Liu Xiu. What''s more, he should let the ministers in the court see who is the master of the world.


    With a flick of the big sleeve, Cao Cao turned and left.


    After returning to his residence in the city, Cao Cao habitually took out his art of war and studied it carefully.


    Cao Cao never put down his books and likes reading. No matter where he goes, it''s his habit. Over the years, he has never lost the habit.


    Looking at the book in his hand, Cao Cao gradually forgot the complicated world and immersed himself in the book.

 Chapter 632

    Jiangdong!


    Sun Quan''s residence.


    Today Sun Quan is also the king of Wu.


    It''s true that he, the king of Wu, had to look at the faces of Liu Xiu and Cao Cao, but at least he was the same as the other two.


    Sun Quan has been working hard to develop his power.


    Over the years, we have accumulated some strength.


    Although Sun Quan and Liu Xiu reached an agreement on alliance hegemony, he never forgot the hatred of Huang Gai, Han Dang and others.


    In the past, Liu Biao killed his father; now, Liu Xiu has killed his subordinates and captured part of Jiangdong''s territory. Although Sun Quan didn''t say anything on the surface, and even married his little sister to Liu Xiu, Sun Quan remembered every debt.


    All along, Sun Quan has been planning.


    Revenge!


    Hate!


    These are the things Sun Quan will do.


    Sun Quan sat in his study, looking through the trends of Liu Xiu and Cao Cao.


    Looking at the fight between the two sides, Sun Quan had a smile on his lips.


    The harder the two sides fight, the happier he is.


    The best result is that if one side is defeated and the other side is killed, it will be a complete chaos, and he will be able to benefit from it.


    The snipe and the clam fight for a profit!


    This idea is in Sun Quan''s mind.


    "Dong! Dong


    Knock on the door, from outside the room.


    Sun Quan raised his head and said, "come in!"


    When the door opened, Zhang Zhao strode in. He stood in the room and bowed his hands.


    Sun Quan said, "Mr. Zhang, sit down!"


    "Thank you


    Zhang Zhao lifted his robe and sat down slowly.


    Sun Quan said, "what''s the latest news?"


    Zhang Zhao nodded, took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Sun Quan, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the news from Cao Cao. Please attack Liu Xiu''s rear."


    "Ha, what a delusion of Cao Cao!"


    Sun Quan turned his lip and asked him to attack Liu Xiu now. That''s impossible.


    Now Liu Xiu and Cao Cao are fighting. At the most critical time, Sun Quan can''t break the situation.


    Zhang Zhao said: "but now Liu Xiu and Cao Cao are fighting. Who is our final goal?"


    Sun Quan didn''t even think about it and said, "naturally it''s Liu Xiu!" The contradiction between Sun Quan and Liu Xiu has long been deeply resentful, and he is not willing to give up.


    Zhang Zhao said: "king, if we defeat Liu Xiu, I''m afraid Cao Cao will target us."


    Sun Quan said: "we attacked Liu Xiu, but we didn''t kill him with one stroke. In particular, Liu Xiu has occupied Yizhou, even if we capture the whole of Jingzhou, Liu Xiu can still stay in Yizhou. The whole world is still three points. The current delicate balance can still be maintained. Therefore, we will not send troops for the time being. "


    Zhang Zhao nodded and agreed with Sun Quan''s analysis.


    This analysis is reasonable.


    Sun Quan''s eyes twinkled with cold light and said: "no matter how, at this juncture, we can''t send troops immediately. Otherwise, our plan to sit on the sidelines will be useless. "


    Zhang Zhao said: "in that case, how can you return to Cao Cao?"


    Sun Quan said: "you tell Cao Cao that we are willing to make an alliance with him and even more willing to send troops. Please rest assured that we will send troops later. "


    Now Sun Quan''s way is to promise first.


    Promise and think about something else.


    Zhang Zhao nodded and then got up to arrange.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a valet came in.


    The servant bowed his hand and said, "Your Highness, the governor of Dadu asked to see you."


    "Is the governor back?"


    In his eyes, Sun Yan was shocked.


    Zhou Yu is always on the front line to deal with the threat of Jingzhou. This time, why did he suddenly come back. Sun Quan turned his mind and suddenly took a look at Zhang Zhao.


    Zhang Zhao said: "this matter has nothing to do with me."


    Sun Quan chuckled and said, "Mr. Zhang, I know it has nothing to do with you. What I''m thinking about is that the matter of the return of Dadu governor, perhaps the same as yours, is related to this war. "


    Zhang Zhao nodded and said, "it should be like this!"


    Sun Quan said: "Mr. Zhang, go down and be busy. I''ll listen to what the governor says."


    "No!"


    After Zhang Zhao stepped down, Sun Quan asked his servant to invite Zhou Yu.


    Today, Zhou Yu is still handsome and free and easy, but there is always a knot in his brow. This melancholy knot was left by Liu Xiu from the beginning.


    If Liu Xiu is not killed, it will be difficult for Zhou Yu to solve his heart knot.


    In fact, Zhou Yu has lived longer than in history.


    Zhou Yu in history fell ill and died shortly after the battle of Chibi.


    Today, Zhou Yu is still fine.It can be said that Zhou Yu''s life, to a certain extent, thanks to Liu Xiu.


    But Zhou Yu is not a cross generation. He has only hatred for Liu Xiu in his heart. He just wants to revenge. Dressed in armor, he entered the room and saluted Sun Quan with his fist.


    Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "Dudu, please sit down!"


    "Thank you


    Zhou Yu sat down with a trace of eagerness on his face.


    Sun Quan asked, "is there anything urgent for the governor to rush back from the front line?"


    Zhou Yu said in a deep voice, "I came back to fight Liu Xiu in the night. Today, Cao Cao and Liu Xiu are fighting a decisive battle for the third time, which has already started in an all-round way. He believed that the battle between the two sides was bound to be divided. "


    "If Cao Cao is defeated, Liu Xiu will swallow the north."


    "If Cao Cao wins, Liu Xiu retreats to Yizhou."


    "But in any case, what we should plan, we must continue to plan. So Mo Jiang''s idea is to cut off the connection between Jiaozhou and Jingzhou and win Jingzhou in one go. "


    Zhou Yu''s eyes sparkled with wisdom.


    For this war, he also prepared for a long time, waiting for this day.


    Sun Quan said: "how do you plan to do it? When will it start? " The timing of the war is particularly important, and there must be no haste.


    Zhou Yu replied, "report back to the king. The general plans to send the elite to attack the border between Jiaozhou and Jingzhou and mobilize the troops of Jiaozhou and Jingzhou. When Jiaozhou''s troops and Jingzhou''s vision were all focused on Jiaozhou, they would suddenly attack Jingzhou. Taking advantage of Liu Xuan''s departure, Jingzhou was empty and took over with one effort. "


    After a pause, Zhou Yu said: "as for the time to start, naturally, it is the best time when Liu Xiu and Cao Cao are about to divide up. Now attack Liu Xiu. If he retreats, it''s not good for us. "


    Sun Quan nodded. Zhou Yu''s plan was exactly the same as his.


    This is the most appropriate time to send troops.


    Sun Quan brushed his sleeve and said, "the governor of Dadu has made a good plan, so I will do it according to his arrangement. In terms of the details of sending troops, we need to be more careful. We need to have a step-by-step process, and we can''t make any mistakes. "


    "The end will understand!"


    When Zhou Yu heard the speech, his face showed a bright smile.


    With Sun Quan''s permission, he can return to the front line and prepare for the next World War I. In this war, he must capture Jingzhou, and even kill the general under Liu Xiu, so that Liu Xiu will never regret.


    Sun Quan suddenly said: "governor of Dadu, attack Jingzhou, you have full discretion. However, if you enter Jingzhou and fight with Lu Su and Tai Shici, if you can be captured alive, you must be captured alive. "


    When Lu Su and Tai Shici were mentioned, Sun Quan had a dim look in his eyes.


    For both of them, he attached great importance to them.


    Unexpectedly, Lu Su and Tai Shici betrayed him one after another.


    Zhou Yu clasped his fists and said, "the end will understand!"


    After boxing, Zhou Yu turned and left. He had to go back to the front line immediately. After all, if he leaves quietly, there will be no one in charge of the front line, so he must be in charge.

 Chapter 633

    Yin county magistrate, named Dewey.


    In Yin County, he developed agriculture and isolated farming. It can be said that the officials were clean and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.


    Of course, the premise is that there is no war in Nanyang County.


    These two years of stability, so that the rapid development of Yin county.


    On this day, Dewey was dealing with government affairs in the county government.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of walking came from outside the room.


    The master came in, bowed his hands, and then said, "my Lord, there''s a man coming from outside. He said he came at the king''s command."


    "Please go to the hall!"


    Dewey waved his hand and told him to go down.


    He got up and went to the hall. When he came to the hall, he saw someone coming and said, "is that you?"


    The man dressed in a black robe took out a token from his arms and said, "I''m coming down from the royal guards!" The token in his hand is the symbol of the royal guards.


    Dewey''s brow raised, and there was a trace of awe in his eyes.


    The royal guards, they are the watchmen.


    Any official who violates discipline may be arrested by the royal guards.


    In the past two years, Yizhou, Jingzhou and Jiaozhou have achieved great success. In peace, corrupt officials are most likely to emerge. So in the past two years, the royal guards have been around, and officials have been arrested and charged.


    One case after another was interrogated and one corrupt official was executed, which made Liu Xuan''s officials afraid.


    As everyone knows, once the royal guards appear, there is absolutely no good thing.


    But Dewey is not afraid of the shadow, he has absolute confidence, not afraid of the royal guards.


    Just subordinates?


    Dewey thought, is it his subordinates who have committed the crime?


    Dewey arched his hand and said, "why did Shangguan come here?"


    The Royal Guard said, "Herald!"


    With these words, the royal guards directly took out a letter and handed it to Dewey. Dewey took a look at the letter. The paint on it was in good condition.


    "Goodbye!"


    The royal guards didn''t speak much, so they turned around and left.


    Dewey sat at the top of the hall, opened the letter and took out the letter.


    Dewey first looked at the end of the letter, saw the seal of the king of Chu, and then nodded slightly. In this way, it can be proved that this matter was indeed ordered by the king of Chu.


    Dewey looked at it from the beginning, and when he finished, his face looked strange.


    The content of the letter is very simple. He is asked to resist a little and surrender temporarily.


    Such an arrangement?


    Dewey''s heart is not understand, do not understand why the king of Chu Liu Xuan issued such an order.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, the county magistrate came in quickly.


    On the county captain''s face, he showed a worried expression and said, "Xian Zun, it''s not good. Just got the news, Cao Ren, the general of Cao Cao, led the army to kill us. It''s less than ten miles away from us. "


    "Ten Mile Road?"


    Dewey had a look of shock in his eyes.


    Ten li Road, it can be said that the city has been under attack, because this distance will arrive in a flash.


    The county captain was very nervous and said, "Xian Zun, our resident troops in Yin county are more than 1000. Even if the people of Yin county were mobilized, the troops could not exceed 3000, and the troops were not extremely effective. Cao Ren is good at fighting. How can we resist such people? "


    When Dewey heard the words, he suddenly began to laugh.


    "What are you laughing at, my lord? What time is it now? Are you still in the mood to laugh? "


    Dewey said confidently, "don''t worry, the king of Chu has already considered it."


    "Ah


    When the county captain heard the speech, he couldn''t help exclaiming.


    Dewey raised the letter in his hand and said, "just now the royal guards have come to deliver the letter. Let''s resist for a while and then surrender directly. The current situation just confirms the attack of Cao Jun. "


    "Now let''s infer that the king of Chu has arrived in Chaoyang County."


    "According to the location on the map, Chaoyang County is in front of us. The king of Chu has nothing to do. How can Yin county have something to do?"


    "So I''m sure that the king of Chu had expected Cao Ren to come, so he had already laid out a plan."


    Dewey''s eyes twinkled with wisdom and said, "as for the plot of the king of Chu, we have no way to know. But now it''s certain that we are part of it. Now, we just need to do our job well. "


    After hearing this, the county captain relaxed a little.


    If this is the case, then things will be simple and there won''t be a big problem.


    Dewey destroyed the letter, then said: "let''s go, Cao Ren leads the army to kill, we have to go to resist."


    "No!"


    The county captain bowed his hand and went with Dewey.


    When they arrived at the top of the city, Dewey told the soldiers to prepare the equipment such as eyes, rolling stones, catapults, bows and arrows, and then waited quietly.It wasn''t long before we got ready, and a large army had gathered outside the city.


    Cao Ren led the army to kill, and finally formed an array outside the city.


    Dressed in armor, Cao Ren looked up at the tower and said in a loud voice: "listen to the people on the tower, general Cao Ren led his army to detain the city today. You open the gate and surrender. General Cao Ren will never commit a crime and will never kill anyone in vain."


    Dewey put his hands on the wall and said in a loud voice: "Cao Ren, what he was going to get was the salary of the king of Chu. You are looking for the wrong person to threaten this officer. Today, I''ll see how you take Yin county. "


    "To die!"


    Cao Ren''s eyes showed anger and cold light.


    I don''t know what to do. That''s death.


    Cao Ren raised his hand slowly, waved his fist and said in a loud voice: "attack the city!"


    At the command, Cao Ren''s soldiers quickly launched a charge.


    "Dong! Dong


    The drum sound is rapid, which makes people feel more and more urgent.


    Cao Renzao had already prepared the equipment for the siege. This time, the siege vehicles, bows and arrows, and crashes were all transported forward, launching the most fierce attack.


    Cao''s army stormed, while Dewey on the top of the city ordered the soldiers to stay.


    Although there were only more than a thousand garrisons, it was for the benefit of the city after all, so although Cao Ren''s army was fierce, Cao Ren''s soldiers attacked for a long time and still failed to win the city of Yin county.


    Noon!


    The army took a rest.


    A general came to Cao Ren and said, "general, we''ve been fighting for half a day, but we haven''t got any effect. Now, whether to surrender again. In this half day, our soldiers have lost more than 600 people. If you win the city and lose more than half of it, then the next plan can''t be implemented at all. "


    Cao Ren said, "what do you mean?"


    The current situation is not favorable for Cao Ren.


    After all, he wants to win Yin County in a very short time.


    If there is enough time, Cao Ren can easily win Yin County, but the current situation does not allow Cao Ren to delay too long, which is the difficulty.


    The general said, "it''s better to recruit and surrender again. If it doesn''t work, we''ll consider other ways."


    For now, there is no better way.


    To attack the city first has already revealed the power of Cao Jun, and now to recruit it, it may be able to achieve miraculous results.


    "Good!"


    Cao Ren nodded and agreed directly.


    Cao Ren looked at the soldiers under his command, then at the general, and then came to Chenglou.

 Chapter 634

    Cao Ren looked up to the city floor and said in a loud voice, "where is the county magistrate?"


    "The county is here!"


    Dewey came straight out with calm eyes.


    He had already received the news and knew what to do next, so he was not worried at all. Instead, he was looking forward to the next development. Both the left and the right wanted to surrender. Cao Ren took the initiative to surrender. That was the best result.


    Cao renlang said in a voice: "I will attack the city today. You already know what happened this time. If you had to resist stubbornly, you would have to attack again. "


    "Once the city is broken, there will be no grass left."


    "However, as long as you surrender, Ben will be able to promise not to kill you and save your life."


    "Not only that, your office, everything you have will be preserved."


    Cao Ren said with bewitchment: "I have inquired about your situation on my way to the future. He is a clean and honest man for the people. "


    "For the sake of personal integrity, do you want to ignore the life and death of the people?"


    "The people have entrusted their lives to you. Is that how you treat them?"


    Cao Ren said: "as long as you are obedient, you will not kill one person and never commit a crime. This is the guarantee we will give you. It''s up to you to decide. How do you decide whether to ignore the life and death of the common people or to take care of your own integrity? "


    Dewey''s face became serious.


    It seems that he has been talked about.


    If he didn''t get Liu Xiu''s order, he would fight to the death even if Cao Ren bewitched him.


    Now, it''s easy.


    Dewey pretended to be excited and said, "are you really innocent?"


    "Yes


    Cao renlang said: "this will be guaranteed by personality!"


    "Ben will be in front of countless soldiers under his command, in front of countless people in Yin County, to ensure that there will be no crime."


    "I think that''s enough to show Ben''s sincerity."


    Cao Ren said: "as long as you open the gate and surrender, you will not kill a person or rob a grain of grain, but take over Yin county. So you don''t have to worry at all. "


    Dewey was silent again.


    It seems that Dewey is hesitating.


    Cao Ren sees in the eye, the corner of the mouth suddenly has the smile, as expected has the opportunity.


    As long as the other side hesitates, there will be an opportunity to persuade the other side to surrender this time. As long as the other side surrenders, he can take over the control of Yin County, and then mobilize the army of Yin County itself to join Xia Houdun''s army and prepare to cut off Liu Xiu''s retreat.


    "Xian Zun, come down."


    Suddenly, there was a shout from the tower.


    The speaker was the county captain.


    As soon as he began to persuade, the rest of the soldiers immediately joined in, and all agreed with the county magistrate.


    The voice of persuasion came one after another.


    When Cao Ren heard the news downstairs, he was even more delighted.


    This result is undoubtedly the best.


    It seems that the fight in the morning has dealt a heavy blow to each other.


    Dewey looked at Cao Ren downstairs and said, "general Cao, I''m willing to surrender."


    With these words, Dewey turned to get down from the tower, took the county captain, the county seat, the master and others to open the gate, came to the gate, and knelt down directly. Dewey fell on the ground with both hands and said in a loud voice, "general Cao, Dewey is willing to surrender!"


    "Good! Good! Good


    Cao Ren''s eyes are full of surprises.


    It''s the best result to recruit Dewey and win Yin county without fighting. It can save him a lot of time.


    Cao Ren held up Dewey with both hands and said with a smile, "Dewey, the general has just said that if you don''t kill one person, your official position will remain unchanged. These words are not empty words. So you are still in charge of Yin county. "


    "Thank you, general!"


    Dewey''s face was slightly stiff, which fell into Cao Ren''s eyes. Cao Ren thought that Dewey was not used to it.


    This is a normal reaction.


    Dewey waved his hand and said, "general Cao, please!"


    Cao Ren smiles and waves his hand.


    In an instant, a group of soldiers first step into the city, and then quickly took control of the tower. As long as the tower is still in Cao Ren''s hands, Cao Ren can go in and out freely to ensure that he will not be ambushed.


    After the soldiers took over the tower, Cao Ren followed them into the city.


    County Government!


    In the hall.


    Take your seat.


    Dewey''s face was calm and said: "general Cao, I don''t have much money, so I can''t hold a banquet for general Cao. You can only hand in the account book of Yin County, the information about the city''s garrison over the years, the population, taxes and so on. Please forgive me, general Cao. "


    Cao Ren said with a smile, "it''s OK. I''ll be a rude man. I don''t care about these."


    After a pause, Cao Ren said, "it''s the first time that I''ve met with such information as account books, population, taxes, etc. It''s really strange. At the same time, it''s proof of your integrity. "Now is a time of great contention, with the three schools competing for supremacy.


    Talent comes first.


    Cao Renjian Dewey is a talent, but also want to win for Cao Cao.


    Dewey immediately ordered to go on, less than half an hour, all the information are placed in front of Cao Ren.


    Dewey said, "general Cao, please read it!"


    Cao Ren roughly turned it over. The more he looked, the more frightened he was.


    More than two years ago, because Nanyang County had been in chaos, the whole Yin county was in chaos. However, after Nanyang County was settled, everything stabilized, and Dewey was also the talent selected by Liu Xuan through the imperial examination, and was arranged in Yin county.


    In the years of Dewey''s administration, the population of Yin county increased continuously, and the tax revenue of Yin county increased continuously.


    Population!


    Tax!


    These two are the most direct and critical data.


    "What a Dewey!"


    Cao Ren praised him in his heart, looked at Dewey and said, "magistrate Du, I will appreciate you very much. Your talent, not to mention the head of a county, even if you are the prefect of a county, is also competent. I will recommend it to the king of Wei, and you will certainly have a great plan. "


    Dewey looked excited and said, "thank you, general."


    In Cao Ren''s eyes, there is a bright smile.


    Cao Ren simply had lunch in the county government, and then went to the warehouse to check. After staying in the city for half a day, Cao Ren left the city.


    Next, Cao Ren recruited the soldiers in the city in a very short time.


    Through their own soldiers, control the city of Yin county.


    Then, Cao Ren replenished food in the city.


    After all this, Cao Rencai was steadfast. In fact, he didn''t spend much time to complete these things. In a very short time, he solved all the things. Then he turned around and went to the only way to retreat from Chaoyang County to Deng county.


    Cao Ren''s departure relieved Dewey, who controlled Yin county.


    Dewey stood on the tower, looking at the direction of Cao Ren''s March which had already disappeared in sight, with a smile on his lips.


    Although Cao Ren''s army controlled Yin county.


    However, once Cao Ren made a mistake, and he mobilized the strength of the city, it was enough to destroy Cao Ren''s army in Yin county. After all, this army is rootless.


    "Go back to the county government!"


    With a smile on his face, Dewey went to the county government with the county captain and others.


    What he should have done has been done.


    Next, it''s Liu Xiu''s business, which has nothing to do with him.

 Chapter 635

    Tianfeng bridge!


    This place is the only way from Yin county to Deng county.


    To go to Yin County, you must take Tianfeng bridge.


    Tianfeng bridge is a bridge connecting two mountains. Below it is a gully about 20 feet long, with rivers shuttling.


    This bridge is connected by ropes and then paved with planks.


    Walking on the board, the bridges are slightly shaking, shaking. Simple bridge is not too high, so walking on it does not have much impact.


    Tianfeng bridge is about 20 feet long and 8 feet wide. If you are used to walking on it, it is not too difficult.


    At the eastern end of the bridge, Deng yuan led the troops to ambush here.


    Deng yuan came to the ambush with his soldiers this time to completely contain Cao Ren in Tianfeng bridge and let Cao Ren be defeated here.


    At the east end, it is an exit about 100 Zhang away from Tianfeng bridge.


    This area is full of mountains and forests.


    Especially in the hot summer, the trees and trees are lush, so Deng yuan''s soldiers will not be found.


    When Deng yuan arrived with his soldiers, he laid an ambush.


    In the woods, a group of people are resting.


    Deng yuan and his party ate dry food and drank river water.


    However, Deng yuan did not find it hard.


    This time to ambush Cao Ren is an opportunity Zhang Ren has won for him. This time, he has to work hard to win Cao Ren, so that he can trust Zhang Ren.


    "Rustle!"


    Suddenly, a sound of footwork came.


    Deng yuan''s deputy came in a hurry with a bright smile on his face.


    He looked excited and said: "general, here we are. Cao Ren has led his troops from Yin County, and now he is coming to Tianfeng bridge."


    "Good!"


    In Deng yuan''s eyes, all of a sudden, there was a brilliant light.


    This war is coming.


    "Step on it! Step on


    All of a sudden, a rapid sound of footsteps came from the distance.


    A soldier quickly ran to report: "general, a team of soldiers came to explore, straight to Tianfeng bridge."


    Deng yuan eyebrow head a pick, way: "conceal, all conceal."


    It is expected that the other party will come to explore the situation of Tianfeng bridge. With Deng yuan''s order, all of them hid in the mountains.


    At the same time, a group of soldiers are fast approaching the Tianfeng bridge.


    There are only ten soldiers in this group.


    These ten men are sentinels sent by Cao Ren. They are responsible for finding out the information in front of them and are sure that they will not be ambushed.


    The first scout rode to Tianfeng bridge with a dignified expression on his face.


    "The appearance of this bridge made it impossible for our horses to be transported from the sea. And when you cross the bridge, you will definitely encounter danger. If you don''t pay attention to it, it will be a great ambush point. "


    The Scout said in a deep voice, "report the situation of Tianfeng bridge to the general immediately."


    "Yes


    A spy was ordered to turn around and leave.


    The spy leader said, "go, let''s cross the bridge."


    "Yes


    The rest answered in unison.


    Just one by one to see such a suspension in the air, step on a shake, a little attention may fall into the valley, a heart is suspended in the air.


    The distance of 20 Zhang is like a natural moat, which is daunting.


    Trembling, the leader of the spy and all the people breathed a sigh of relief.


    One by one, they were sitting on the ground with a relieved expression on their faces, and the scout leader said: "I didn''t expect that there would be such a road on the road from Yin county to Deng county. Such a road is not suitable for the advance of the army. "


    There was a trace of worry in his brow, but he had explored the surrounding area for tens of miles, and could not find a more suitable reason.


    This is the only way to go to Liu Xuan''s army.


    After a quarter of an hour''s rest, the spy leader took the crowd on.


    After a hundred steps forward, it was out of the mountain. It was a downward Road, and this one was a mountain forest, just where Deng yuan was hiding.


    The spy chief looked up and stared at the sky above the forest.


    At this time, there is nothing in the sky. Occasionally, one or two birds fly up and down, which is not unusual.


    The Scout led the way: "judging from the current situation, there is no ambush in the forest. If someone makes a noise, it will make the birds hover and dare not fall. However, it is difficult to judge the current situation. So, let''s go and find out for two people. "


    Immediately, the Scout Leader separated two people and went to inquire about the situation in the mountain forest.


    Then, the scout leader arranged for others to take action to observe the surrounding situation.


    I didn''t find anything.


    All of them stopped and waited quietly at the east end of the bridge, waiting for Cao Ren''s army to arrive.In the woods, Deng yuan was hiding in the woods with a cautious look in his eyes. Just now, the spies sent by the other party searched the mountain forest, but they almost found the place where the soldiers were lying in ambush. Fortunately, the other party lost patience and left hastily, otherwise they would have to kill the spies.


    "General, if these spies don''t leave, it''s hard for us to move."


    Deng yuan''s side, a school captain said.


    "It doesn''t matter. It doesn''t matter. Now, we just need to hide. The terrain of Tianfeng bridge is very special. Almost most people will fall into a period of maladjustment after walking on the bridge. We will wait for the other side to cross the Tianfeng bridge, and the rear is isolated and helpless, and then launch an attack. "


    Deng yuan''s plan is very simple, that is to compress Cao Ren''s space after the other party crosses the bridge.


    In case of war, Tianfeng bridge is not suitable for evacuation.


    Equivalent, Cao Ren''s retreat is broken.


    At this time, robbing and killing Cao Ren was equivalent to catching a turtle in a jar.


    Deng yuan was not worried at all. He was waiting quietly. As time went by, the sun gradually moved to the West. A red sun slants to the West and hangs across the horizon, while Deng yuan and others are still waiting.


    "Here comes the general!"


    Suddenly, a sentry came to Li dengyuan and spoke.


    The sentinel was lurking at the edge of the woods, asking for information.


    Deng Yuan said: "has Cao Ren''s army crossed the bridge one after another?"


    "Yes


    The sentinel nodded and answered directly.


    Deng yuan ordered: "talk again, continue to inquire about the news and find out the situation. As soon as the other party''s troops cross the bridge, we will attack immediately. "


    "No!"


    The sentry was ordered, and immediately went to inquire for information.


    At this time, Cao Ren also followed the brigade of soldiers across the bridge.


    After crossing the bridge, Cao Ren''s heart was shaking and his legs were trembling with a touch of soreness. Although Tianfeng bridge is not high, it''s really a headache to cross the bridge like this.


    Cao Ren said in a loud voice: "we should seize the time, be steady, don''t panic, don''t be afraid."


    Facing the soldiers who are still crossing the bridge, Cao Ren exhorts them loudly.


    Cao Ren himself has a trace of fear, not to mention soldiers? So, he kept cheering up the soldiers, hoping that the soldiers under him could cross the bridge quickly and safely, and then continue on their way.

 Chapter 636

    Team after team of soldiers rushed to the other end of Tianfeng bridge.


    At this time, the Tianfeng bridge is still shaking.


    "Ah


    Suddenly, a soldier collapsed from the edge of the bridge and fell directly into the gully.


    This scene is even more soul stirring and shocking.


    Every soldier''s heart was hanging in the air, uneasy.


    Seeing this, Cao Ren felt nervous.


    He is also the first time to encounter such a bridge. He walks unsteadily and can''t see below. Once he looks below and looks at the flowing river, he will feel dizzy.


    It''s a terrible place like this.


    However, Cao Ren has no choice.


    Cao Ren can only shout: "do not be afraid, orderly and fast across the river. Don''t look at your feet, don''t hesitate, don''t shake, go straight ahead, you can


    "Ah


    Suddenly, someone fell down again.


    "Help, help!"


    The screams reverberated in the valley, making the soldiers tremble.


    But in any case, we have to move on.


    One by one, the soldiers walked quickly and went straight to the opposite bank of Tianfeng bridge.


    This bridge alone takes more than an hour. It took an hour for all the soldiers under Cao Ren to cross the river. At this time, the soldiers on the other side of the bridge recovered a little.


    But looking back, I''m still nervous.


    Cao Ren stood in front of the soldiers and said, "whole army, let''s go!"


    With an order, Cao Ren''s army began to move, and they all began to leave Tianfeng bridge.


    At the same time, in the mountains.


    Deng yuan led his soldiers to ambush. By this time, his soldiers had come from the depths of the mountains to the edge of the mountains, on both sides of the official road.


    Deng yuan looks at the direction of Tianfeng bridge through the forest.


    In the line of sight, already saw the dark shadow, was approaching toward the ambush location.


    "All ready!" Deng Yuan said


    After hearing the speech, everyone cheered up. They had been hiding in the mountains for such a long time in order to defeat Cao Ren. Now they finally had a chance.


    Time is not long, the forward of the army has reached Deng yuan''s position.


    Deng yuan ordered: "let go the arrow!"


    "No!"


    The voice fell, and in an instant, the trigger was pulled and a loud arrow was launched.


    "Whew!"


    Sharp voice, suddenly resounded in the air, constantly echoing.


    As soon as the sound came out, suddenly, archers appeared on both sides of the mountain forest. They all aimed at the Cao soldiers on the official road and kept shooting.


    "Whew! Whew


    The dense bow and arrow shooting is a completely undifferentiated attack.


    This attack is extremely fierce.


    In a flash, waves of Cao soldiers fell under the bow and arrow.


    Deng yuan arranged a lot of archers in the forest, and they lined up in a long line, hundreds of steps away.


    A steady stream of bows and arrows is frightening.


    "Enemy attack


    "Ambush


    ¡­¡­


    One voice after another, constantly echoing in the mountains.


    Cao''s soldiers, who had been in a neat line, suddenly got flustered and kept running, trying to avoid the shooting of bows and arrows.


    When Cao Ren was following the rear, he suddenly saw that the army was ambushed. He had a bad feeling in his heart.


    Ambush!


    This means that his whereabouts have already been discovered.


    Did Dewey do it?


    At this moment, what Cao Ren can guess is this information.


    Cao Ren looked at the confused soldiers in front of him and looked back at the valley where Tianfeng bridge was located. There was a trace of dignity between his eyebrows. It took him an hour to cross the Tianfeng bridge. If he was ambushed and retreated, there was no way out, and the soldiers would be killed and injured.


    At this moment, only forward.


    Cao Ren understood his situation in an instant.


    Now he has only one choice.


    "Kill


    Cao Ren pulled out his long sword and roared: "kill, as long as we kill, we can avoid ambush and still cut off each other''s contact. Kill me, boys


    Cao Ren ordered the soldiers under his command to launch a sprint.


    One by one, the soldiers rushed forward against the rain of arrows.


    Sprint!


    Sprint!


    All the soldiers had this idea in mind.


    They went through the Tianfeng bridge, knew the difficulty of crossing the bridge, and now they withdraw back, that is, they are forced to a desperate situation and have no way back. So everyone knows that now we can only rush forward quickly, not stay in the same place or retreat."Kill


    Shouts, one after another, constantly reverberate in the mountains.


    In the mountain forest, the birds are fluttering.


    More and more birds were frightened and had to fly away.


    And below the forest, waves of soldiers fell under the rain of arrows, bodies everywhere, howling one after another.


    Deng yuan was hiding in the forest, with a calm look in his eyes.


    To ambush Cao Ren is a long established strategy.


    Now, the plan is just beginning.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came running quickly.


    The soldiers came to Deng yuan''s side and reported loudly: "general, Cao Jun''s soldiers have started to break through the encirclement and left the range of our bow and arrow."


    With a smile in his mouth, Deng Yuan said, "it''s all right. Now it''s time for the second-line ambush to start."


    The archers under Deng Yuanbu are hundreds of steps long.


    Through this distance, there is a straight road, flat and wide, but on both sides are rocky.


    This official road is nearly 500 feet long.


    It''s easy for such officials to escape.


    However, Deng yuan was not worried at all.


    Deng yuan showed a brilliant look in his eyes and said, "almost. It''s time to take action."


    "Boom!"


    Suddenly, a deafening voice came.


    The whole ground seemed to start shaking.


    With a smile in his mouth, Deng Yuan said, "here we are!"


    At this time, on the straight official road, a team of cavalry appeared. There were about 300 cavalry in this group. The horses on their crotch were all dressed in armour to prevent combat readiness from being cut down. In their hands, all the cavalry were armed with long spears.


    Horses are like dragons, cavalry like tigers.


    At the moment, the team of 300 people is like a reaper from hell.


    One by one, the spears in their hands poked out and galloped to the fleeing Cao soldiers.


    The head of the cavalry general cried out: "kill


    "Kill


    The rest of the cavalry, all in a neat response.


    "Kill


    "Kill


    Vigorous and passionate voice, continuous, the voice more high pitched, more penetrating.


    "Da! Dada


    The sound of the horse''s hooves was like thunder, as if trampling on the soldier''s heart.


    "Kill


    It''s late, it''s fast.


    In the twinkling of an eye, a cavalry has been killed in Cao Ren''s soldiers.


    Boom!


    A war horse bumped into a soldier of Cao army. Under the strong impact, the soldier flew out directly.


    "Puchi!"


    The spear pierced through the chest of Cao''s soldiers.


    With the extraction of the spear, a canopy of blood splashed out, spilled on the ground, splashed on the ground of blood.


    "Kill


    "Kill


    Three hundred cavalry keep shouting and fighting.


    The cavalry''s attack put the soldier who had just escaped the bow and arrow into danger. One by one, they escaped the arrow rain, but they didn''t come back to their senses. Now they were attacked by the cavalry and ran around in a panic.


    Cao''s soldiers had no attack and collapsed in an instant.


    However, some soldiers are still pushing forward with cavalry.


    After all, there are only 300 cavalry. It is impossible to kill all the soldiers in one charge.


    So the soldiers of the Cao army kept on rushing forward. In addition to that, the more fierce soldiers of the Cao army simply fought directly with the cavalry. However, the horses of these cavalry were all covered with armour, which ensured that the horses were not easy to be cut down, while the cavalry on the horses were difficult to be cut down.


    Facing the cavalry''s cutting and killing, Cao''s soldiers fell into chaos.


    Under the protection of the soldiers, Cao Ren had already crossed the arrow line, but he was also shocked to see the cavalry coming.


    Good guy, chain game!


    First it''s arrow, now it''s cavalry.


    "Kill, we''ll be safe."


    Cao Ren has no other way now, he can only kill forward.


    Only forward, not backward!


    That is the current situation.


    Cao Ren, with his soldiers, finally broke out of the range of cavalry. At this time, Cao Ren also had a smile on his face and yelled: "hurry up, speed up."


    The soldiers advanced quickly, and after passing through the wide and flat official road, they entered a narrow slope.


    In fact, this slope is not very steep. It''s about 30 degrees.


    The length of the slope is more than 100 Zhang. In fact, the slope can be ignored.


    Cao Ren is now running away, no matter what is ahead, even if there is a sea of swords and mountains in front, Cao Ren must also Wade past, so he can only continue to rush forward."Drink!"


    "Drink!"


    Suddenly, at the top of the slope, came a neat shout.


    Sound like a golden horse, soaring into the sky.

 Chapter 637

    "How?"


    Cao Ren''s face suddenly changed.


    There was a look of panic in his eyes.


    After crossing the Tianfeng bridge, he was first attacked by arrows, then by cavalry, and now he is facing a third attack. Cao Ren also has a strong worry in his heart.


    Looking back, the soldiers under his command were exhausted.


    There was a look of fear on their faces.


    Cao Ren is also worried about this situation.


    It''s not good!


    Cao Ren roared: "brothers, cheer up, we will live and rush out."


    "General, why don''t we retreat."


    A school captain, covered with blood, stood behind Cao Ren and opened his mouth.


    Cao Ren shook his head and said, "retreat? We can''t retreat. We are now driven to the edge of the cliff, we have no way to retreat now, can only continue to move forward. Once you retreat, are you willing to cross Tianfeng bridge again? Especially when we retreated, Liu Xiu''s army covered up. Can you cross the bridge safely? "


    As soon as the words came out, the faces of the soldiers looked frightened.


    Yes!


    There''s no way to retreat now.


    The only thing we can do is to go ahead and find a way out.


    Cao Ren said in a loud voice: "sons, kill, kill a way out."


    At this moment, Cao Ren roared.


    In the face of today''s difficulties, Cao Ren was nervous in his heart, but there was no fear on his face.


    Fight!


    Fight to the end!


    Life is the general of the Cao army, death is the soul of the Cao army.


    Cao Ren, holding the sword, rushed forward quickly.


    Under the command of the soldiers no longer hesitated, crazy began to charge. Now, they have no choice.


    And the cry of killing came closer and closer. Suddenly, an army appeared on the slope. There were five hundred men in this army, all armed with spears and wearing armour, and the soldiers in the front row had shields in their hands.


    This army is designed to stop them.


    "Drink!"


    "Drink!"


    The soldiers kept shouting and killing.


    The rolling sound, like a torrent, washes in the hearts of all Cao soldiers.


    At this time, the soldiers of Cao army had already been frightened. Seeing the soldiers of Chu army killed by the slope so elite and so well-equipped, they were completely confused.


    Originally one by one, they planned to fight, but now they are heavy in heart.


    In my heart, I am extremely afraid.


    Orderly footsteps, orderly shouts, come constantly.


    Five hundred soldiers, armed with long guns, came to the middle of the slope and stopped.


    "Gudong!"


    Cao Ren swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked frightened.


    "You have been surrounded. Those who come down will not be killed!"


    Suddenly, the cry came from behind.


    This voice gathered the cry of countless people, uniform, even more shocking. Looking back, Cao Ren saw that his soldiers had been scattered, and a general led cavalry, archers and soldiers in the rear.


    The leader was Deng yuan.


    Deng yuan raised his hand and pressed down. In an instant, the soldiers stopped shouting.


    Deng yuan''s eyes fell on Cao Ren, who was surrounded and blocked. He said in a loud voice: "Cao Ren, you are surrounded now. You can''t move forward or backward. There''s no place to escape. Now, do you want to fight to the end? "


    Cao Ren snorted and said, "who is your excellency?"


    Deng Yuan said: "this general Deng yuan is just a nobody."


    Cao Ren said coldly: "you set up a trap to block this place. If you are a nobody, it''s really a joke. It is too early to say whether we will win or lose today''s war. "


    Deng Yuandao: "it seems that general Cao is going to resist."


    Cao Ren said: "there has always been only Cao Ren who died in the war, not Cao Ren who knelt down to live."


    "Good, good Cao Ren."


    Deng yuan looked around and swept the soldiers under Cao Ren''s command one by one, saying: "general Cao is brave and fearless. He is brave and fearless of death. He can be called a loyal minister of the Wei king. General Cao''s death was well deserved. What about the son of general Cao? "


    "They are general Cao''s soldiers, following general Cao through life and death."


    "For the sake of a word from general Cao, you can ignore life and death."


    "Now I know that I can''t do it, but general Cao still insists on it. Is he going to drag them to death? They put all their hopes and all their trust in general Cao. But what about general Cao? Is that what general Cao gave them in return?


    With bewitching in his words, Deng yuan constantly disintegrated the morale of Cao''s soldiers and said: "if there is still a chance of victory, general Cao will fight to the death, that''s fair. But now, general Cao is in prison, Why drag them to die together? Is general Cao worthy of them? ""You only want to complete your own righteousness, just want to kill more enemies, but ignore them."


    "General Cao, do you have the heart?"


    Deng yuan was confident in his eyes and said: "in the current situation, general Cao can''t fight any more. Why do you have to resist. General Cao, come down. I will guarantee your safety and not kill a prisoner. "


    With these words, the morale of Cao Ren''s soldiers fell sharply.


    Deng yuan''s words played a bewitching role.


    In fact, no wonder Cao Ren''s soldiers.


    Cao Renxian led the soldiers across the Tianfeng bridge. This alone made the soldiers very tired. He finally got through the Tianfeng bridge. When he thought that everything would be smooth, he encountered a series of ambushes.


    Deng Yuan said: "general Cao, come down."


    Cao Ren laughed and said, "Deng yuan, you are so naive. If you were an ordinary person, you would have convinced him, but he would have gone through many battles. How could he be bewitched by you. The soldiers under the general''s command are all clanking men. How can they surrender to you? "


    Facing Deng yuan, Cao Ren answered coldly.


    Even if Deng yuan talks too much, he can''t let Deng yuan succeed.


    With a smile in his mouth, Deng yuan looked at the rest of Cao Jun''s soldiers and said in a loud voice: "brothers of Cao Jun, you have heard what Cao Ren said. You are fighting for Cao Ren. Now Cao Ren has to resist? Is your life not life. Now, Ben will order that those who are willing to submit will come out directly, and Ben will not kill you. Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who do not surrender will be killed without mercy. "


    Cold words came from Deng yuan''s mouth.


    A bow and arrow on the string, aimed at the direction of Cao Ren.


    Cavalry, spearmen, all in formation.


    All the soldiers are ready to go. With Deng yuan''s command, they will fight immediately to encircle Cao''s soldiers.


    Seeing this scene, Cao Ren said in a loud voice: "my sons, those who are willing to fight with me will stand on my side. As long as you can get out, you will be rewarded. Those who don''t want to stay can leave now. If you surrender to Deng yuan, you will never stop him. "


    In the face of Deng yuan, Cao Ren replied with witticism.


    He did not stop his soldiers from surrendering. He believed that they would stay.


    Deng yuan laughed and said, "general Cao, what a joke!"


    "What kind of play?" Cao Ren asked.


    Deng yuan explained: "general Cao said that the soldiers who stay to resist will be rewarded. But general Cao forgot the most important point. Now general Cao is a defeated general. Even if you escape, can you return to Cao Cao''s command without punishment? Can you gain by losing your soldiers, discarding your armor and so many soldiers? "


    "If the soldiers stay and fight with you, can they survive?"


    "Don''t be hypocritical, Cao Ren."


    "How can you bear to deceive the soldiers with such hypocrisy? At least they are your soldiers and your comrades. But it''s chilling that you do it. "


    Deng Yuen Long said: "soldiers of Cao army, we are fighting now. We are in charge of each other, so we will do everything for you. But as long as you surrender, you will be the soldiers of the general, and you will be treated favorably. "


    Cao Ren''s eyes showed a look of fear. He didn''t expect Deng yuan to be so difficult.


    Cao Ren just deliberately let the soldiers who wanted to surrender leave in order to stabilize the morale of the army. Unexpectedly, Deng yuan beat him down, which made him very embarrassed.


    At this time, the situation is very unfavorable to Cao Ren.

 Chapter 638

    Cao Ren said angrily: "Deng yuan, your purpose is not to make Ben Jiang surrender?"


    "Yes


    Deng yuan didn''t even think about it and answered directly.


    Deng Yuan went on with Cao Ren''s words and said, "on the one hand, I want you to surrender. On the other hand, I want to do it for the sake of your soldiers. They follow you and are loyal to you. Are you kind enough to watch them die? "


    Cao Ren clenched his fist. He found Deng yuan hard to deal with.


    His cunning is consistent with Liu Xiu''s.


    At this moment, Cao Ren, unable to advance or retreat, has been in a dilemma.


    "Well, Ben will be willing to surrender."


    Suddenly, Cao Ren threw away his weapon and chose to surrender.


    This move shocked countless people present.


    One by one, Cao''s soldiers were surprised, then moved.


    Cao renzheng is proud and loyal to Cao Cao. Now he is willing to give up his persistence for them, which is really admirable.


    "General, you can''t surrender."


    "The general is the chief General of the Cao army and the right arm of the king of Wei. How can he surrender to Deng yuan. General, we''re fighting with Deng yuan. We''d rather die than surrender and fight to the death. "


    "Yes, we did. Eighteen years later, we are a man again. "


    Around Cao Ren, soldiers began to make noise.


    Cao renneng for them to give up insist, choose to surrender, they are willing to work hard for Cao Ren.


    The original wavering morale of the army suddenly stabilized.


    In his eyes, Deng yuan secretly told Cao Ren that he was cunning. He even deliberately said he would surrender to save his morale.


    Cao Ren said: "brothers, you don''t have to die with Ben."


    The words moved Cao''s soldiers.


    Deng yuan sneered: "Cao Ren, acting is almost OK. If it''s too much, it''s too fake. What you are doing now is to encourage some soldiers to fight against you to the death. But what''s the use of that? It''s no use at all. Even if it''s your last stand up, it''s just your last stand up. "


    During the siege, Deng yuan mobilized cavalry, infantry and spearmen.


    Surrounded by the army, Cao Ren had no way to escape.


    Cao Ren seemed to be deaf and said, "Deng yuan, you misunderstood that you would have really persuaded them to surrender. This general is willing to surrender. "


    In the face of his generals, Cao Ren is not willing to tell the truth.


    Now, what Cao Ren has to do is fight to the death.


    Deng Yuanshen laughed twice and said, "Cao Ren, whatever you do, you are doomed today. If you lay down your arms and surrender, and then order your soldiers to surrender, you may be spared your life. "


    "Give me a break!"


    With a loud roar, a soldier suddenly rushed out and went straight to Deng yuan.


    This soldier is a soldier under Cao Ren.


    The soldier, carrying a spear, strode forward with a big stride, and roared: "Deng yuan, dog thief, you''re dead!"


    "Whew! Whew


    As soon as the voice fell, I saw a bunch of bows and arrows coming.


    "Puchi! Wheezing


    A feather arrow swept across the air, and then inserted in the soldier''s body.


    But the soldier looked back at Cao Ren and said, "general, you can''t surrender."


    The voice dropped, and the soldiers lost their breath.


    "Kill


    Suddenly, Cao Ren''s soldiers rushed out.


    "Take revenge on Wang Dagou, kill him!"


    "I''d rather die than surrender to Deng thief."


    "Kill


    Wave after wave of soldiers rushed forward, quickly and madly, all in a kind of anger of unity.


    Cao Ren''s eyes flashed a ray of joy, but his face was full of anger. He roared: "dengyuan dog thief, you said you wanted to surrender us, but now you order the soldiers to shoot arrows to kill us. Those who turn back will take their lives."


    "I''ll fight you, boys!"


    "Kill


    Cao Ren roared and gave the final order.


    Cao Ren has few soldiers around him. On the one hand, he is unable to stand out from the encirclement; on the other hand, his troops are insufficient. Therefore, Cao Ren''s fighting is just a stubborn struggle.


    Looking at all this, Deng yuan calmly ordered the soldiers to surround and kill.


    Waves of soldiers rushed forward like tides, constantly killing, harvesting the lives of Cao Ren''s soldiers.


    The battle continues.


    Deng yuan''s soldiers kept on hunting Cao''s soldiers.


    Cao Ren and his soldiers are still fighting.


    "Ah


    Suddenly, a shrill cry came from Cao Ren''s mouth.


    But Cao Ren was hit by a bow and arrow on his back. The point of his sword went into the flesh, tearing his heart and splitting his lung. The pain made his blood flow.


    "Puchi! WheezingAnother bow and arrow came, but Cao Ren''s bodyguard swung away. But as time goes on, Cao Ren''s soldiers are fewer and fewer, and now there are less than a hundred left.


    Cao Ren turned to Deng yuan and roared: "kill the enemy, kill the enemy!"


    Death is better than Deng yuan.


    But Cao Ren''s idea was good, but he saw that Deng yuan suddenly led cavalry and archers to fight and retreat, retreating while firing bows and arrows, constantly killing Cao Ren''s soldiers.


    In this way, although Cao Ren kept narrowing the distance with Deng yuan, or even chasing Deng yuan, he could not win Deng yuan, and his soldiers were falling one after another.


    "Cunning Deng yuan!"


    Cao Ren''s face was pale and his eyes were red.


    Just as Deng yuan was about to approach the Tianfeng bridge, he did not retreat any more and ordered: "cavalry, follow the orders and fight!"


    Deng Shengyuan launched a charge under his command.


    At this time, there were less than 40 people around Cao Ren. Seeing the cavalry rushing towards him, they all looked frightened and rushed around Cao Ren to escape. But the road was so wide that they could not escape at all.


    A back and forth of the fight, Cao Ren side of the soldiers killed and injured more than half.


    The second back and forth, Cao Ren side only a few people.


    One by one, the soldiers came forward and surrounded Cao Ren. Deng yuan came up again with a smile in his mouth and said, "general Cao Ren, you surrender now, you will not be killed either."


    "I Pooh!"


    Cao Ren looked scornful and disgusted.


    "I was born to be the king of Wei, and I died to be the ghost of the king of Wei. As a nobody, it''s impossible for you to capture me alive."


    "Better die than be humiliated!"


    Cao Ren suddenly raised his sword and wiped it.


    "Poof!"


    The sharp blade cut his neck and spattered blood.


    Cao Ren said with a sad smile: "heaven does not protect the king of Wei, heaven does not protect the king of Wei! If you want to kill the enemy, you can''t go back to heaven. No way, no way


    With that, Cao Ren fell to the ground.


    The soldiers who followed Cao Ren were so strong that they committed suicide one by one.


    All the soldiers under Cao Ren''s command were killed, but none of them surrendered.


    When Deng yuan saw this scene, he was also quite shocked. A moment later, he regained his composure and said, "prepare a fine coffin for Cao Ren, and then bury him. As for the rest of Cao''s soldiers, they were all burned. All our soldiers who died in the war are registered. "


    "No!"


    The general of the army immediately went down to prepare.

 Chapter 639

    Huyang County, located in the northeast of Deng County, is a strategic place in the southeast of Nanyang County.


    Control of this place, will hold the throat of southeast Nanyang County.


    Hu Lan, the magistrate of Huyang County, is a rather smooth official. He is quite tactful in dealing with people. Everyone who meets Hu Lan respects him.


    Moreover, Hu Lan is a big family in Huyang County, with a big family and a big career.


    Therefore, Hu Lan''s position in Huyang county is as stable as Mount Tai.


    Of course, Hu Lan does have the ability to govern a county. The country is peaceful and the people are well fed. This achievement is also the most fundamental reason for his stable stay in Huyang county.


    In the study!


    Hu Lan is dealing with government affairs.


    Hu Lan has a hobby, like to listen to people play the piano.


    Generally speaking, he focuses on his official business in the morning, and then goes to zuifeng building in the afternoon to listen to the Qinji playing in zuifeng building, which is a well-known thing.


    Many people know that if you want to find Hu Lan in the afternoon, you should go to zuifeng building.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of footsteps came in from the outside.


    The person who came here is the master of Huyang county.


    The master came to Hu Lan''s side, arched his hand and made a salute, and said: "county respect, Wei Taishou is coming."


    "Ah


    Hu Lan exclaimed in surprise and said, "the prefect is here. Why didn''t he inform you in advance?"


    Wei Yan was in charge of Nanyang County and had strict control over the officials below. Those who failed to pass the examination were dismissed one after another. All the officials knew that Wei Yan was not a fool and were careful.


    Hu LANLIAN said: "let''s go. Follow me to meet you."


    "Yes


    The master came to the hall with Hu Lan.


    When he came to the hall, he saw Wei Yan wearing a black robe and sitting on the throne.


    Hu Lan arched his hand and said, "I''ve met you, my Lord."


    "Sit down!"


    Wei Yan waved his hand and his face was calm.


    Just, his eyes stare at Hu Lan, but let Hu Lan heart jump. Wei Yan''s eyes, like eagle''s eyes, with a trace of sharpness, make Hu Lan''s heart bottomless. What does this cold faced evil spirit suddenly come to Huyang county to do?


    Hu Lan said: "I don''t know what happened when the governor came to Huyang county?"


    Wei Yan said: "I want to take down XiahouDun who came to attack Huyang county with the help of Huyang county."


    "Is XiahouDun coming?"


    Hu Lan''s eyes showed an unbelievable look: "Cao Cao confronts the king of Chu in Xinye. Xia Houdun is a general under Cao Cao''s command. He must be at Cao Cao''s side. How can he come to Huyang county? Moreover, XiahouDun''s army could not get around the king''s army. How could he attack Huyang county? "


    Wei yanleng said, "are you questioning my official''s news?"


    Hu LANLIAN said: "I dare not!"


    Wei Yan said: "since it is a surprise attack, what is a surprise attack? Nature is blind. I can still arrive at Huyang County quietly. Why can''t XiahouDun? "


    Hu Lan said: "you are wise. You are stupid."


    Wei Yan nodded and said, "if XiahouDun comes, you will send someone to send a letter, saying that you are willing to open the city and surrender, and open a door for XiahouDun to enter the city."


    "Ah


    Hu Lan surprised, more incredible?


    Why is this so strange?


    Wei Yan said, "this is what happened. It''s no surprise. When summer Houdun arrives, it will come naturally. Now get ready. In the evening, take some of the soldiers under my command to the city. "


    "No!"


    Hu Lan also want to ask, but see Wei Yan''s expression, put out this idea.


    Wei Yan did not stay, got up and left.


    At night, Wei Yan led some soldiers into Huyang county. Without knowing it, no one knew that Wei Yan had been stationed in the county.


    In the evening, suddenly, a royal guard came to Wei Yan''s camp to ask for a meeting.


    Wei Yan confirmed the identity of the other party, then said: "what''s the matter?"


    The royal guards replied: "report to the governor of Wei. Deng yuan has already advised Cao Ren to annihilate his army. Cao Ren''s soldiers did not survive, and Cao Ren died on the spot. Now, the army is quietly coming to Huyang county. "


    "Good!"


    Wei Yan couldn''t help being surprised.


    Deng yuan''s victory is a great support to him.


    However, Wei Yan also said: "Deng yuan''s speed is fast enough, even in such a short time to complete the task."


    The Royal Guard said, "only when general Deng chooses a favorable terrain can he succeed."


    Wei Yan big sleeve a brush, way: "I know, you wait a moment, I immediately a letter, and then you personally sent to Deng yuan, ask him to prepare immediately."


    "No!"


    The royal guards replied, looking calm.


    Wei Yan immediately wrote a letter and gave it to the royal guards.After the royal guards left, Wei Yan''s eagle eyes were shining with a sense of competition. Deng yuan has won, but he has not.


    However, Wei Yan is not in a hurry, everything is the overall situation.


    Time goes by and the next morning.


    XiahouDun had already led his troops out of the city, and XiahouDun came out of the city tower and cried out.


    Hu Lan stood at the head of the city, staring at XiahouDun, and said, "XiahouDun, if you have the ability to attack the city, it''s shameful to shout."


    Xia Houdun said, "Hu Lan, surrender now, or Huyang county will be broken."


    Hu Lan said: "if you have the ability to fight, why shout."


    XiahouDun snorted and said, "bring it up!"


    Voice down, but see a group of people were escorted to.


    This group of people were from Huyang county. On the way to XiahouDun, he was thinking about how to deal with Hulan. He learned that Hu Lan was an official who loved the people, so he decided to take the most direct and ruthless way.


    Capture the people, in order to threaten Xia Hulan.


    When Hu Lan saw the people, her face was calm, and she said in a loud voice, "what''s your intention, XiahouDun?"


    "Don''t you love the people like children, Hu Lan? These people are the people under your rule. Now, you will surrender immediately, and I will spare you. If you refused to surrender, you would have killed these people immediately. Then we will go and arrest the people. "


    After hearing this, Hu Lan trembled with anger.


    XiahouDun is too cruel.


    Even though Hu Lan was a slick and old-fashioned official, it was the first time that she met such a ruthless and heartless person as Xia Houdun, who did not care about the people at all.


    Hu Lan roared: "XiahouDun, it''s shameful of you to force innocent people."


    "What shame is not?" said XiahouDun. "As long as the task can be completed, Ben will be right. Now, Ben will count to ten. If you refuse to open the city, you can''t blame Ben for being cruel. They don''t die in the fall of Ben Jiang, they die in your hesitation. "


    "One!"


    "Two!"


    "Three


    ¡­¡­


    Xia Houdun didn''t give Hu Lan time to think at all, so he began to count the time.


    Hou xialan: you are shameless


    "Seven!" continued XiahouDun, unaffected at all


    "Eight!"


    "Nine!"


    On the count of nine, seeing that Hu Lan was still unresponsive, Xia Houdun snorted coldly in his heart and said, "if you are stubborn, don''t blame Ben Jiang. When you die, it''s Hu Lan who can''t help you. "


    "Somebody


    At XiahouDun''s command, the executioners with knives came forward.


    "Wait!"


    Suddenly, Hu Lan on the tower began to shout.


    Xia Houdun grinned and said, "magistrate Hu, is there anything else to say?"


    Hu Lan said: "can you guarantee that there will be no crime after entering the city?"


    "Ben will promise!" said XiahouDun


    Hu Lan said: "as long as I promise you, you will release these innocent people immediately?"


    "Of course!"


    Houghton did not think about it, but answered directly.


    Hu Lan said: "well, I ordered Kaesong to surrender. It''s very disappointing of you to use such a means, harhoughton. You win, but you lose. "


    "What''s the use of character?" said XiahouDun with a smile? Can I have it? Can we ensure victory on the battlefield? Hu Lan, no more nonsense. Open the gate now, or you will kill them. "


    "Yes


    Hu Lan ordered: "open the gate!"


    "Creak! Creak


    With Hu Lan''s order, the gate of Huyang County slowly opens, revealing the access to the city.

 Chapter 640

    XiahouDun looked confident and thought it was all right.


    But the city upstairs of Hu Lan, the facial expression is serious, actually the heart is secretly happy.


    The order Wei Yan gave him was to let him take the initiative to send the book to XiahouDun, and then submit to XiahouDun. But now XiahouDun has made this place, which means that Hu Lan doesn''t have to hand in the surrender form.


    To some extent, Xia Houdun helped Hu Lan to surrender more smoothly.


    XiahouDun was also a general on the battlefield, and immediately sent soldiers into the city to take over the city.


    Then XiahouDun entered the city.


    However, the army of harhoudun was still stationed outside the city.


    After taking Huyang County, Xia Houdun had to go to cut off the barrier from Chaoyang County to Deng County, so he had no extra time, and he also had to stabilize Huyang County in the shortest time, to frighten the officials of Huyang County, and to avoid Hu Lan''s ambivalence.


    County Government!


    Take your seat.


    XiahouDun sat on the throne.


    The rest sat down.


    Hu Lan''s expression was taut, and I was very unhappy.


    On the contrary, there was a smile on his face. If Hu Lan was completely obedient, he would be doubting again.


    With a smile, Xia Houdun said, "magistrate Hu, as the saying goes, those who know current affairs are heroes. If you surrender to the general and the king of Wei, it means that you are on a smooth road to heaven. After that, you can even become a senior official and show your talents. This time, it''s your chance. You should take advantage of it. "


    Hu Lan hummed a voice, way: "summer Marquis general Ming Jian!"


    The answer is blunt.


    In my heart, there is still resistance.


    Not irritated, XiahouDun said, "magistrate Hu, it''s just the saying that you don''t need a heavy hammer to ring a drum. There are some words that I would not like to say, but considering that Hu county magistrate is a talented person, a person who can govern the internal affairs and is beneficial to the king of Wei. "


    "So Ben will talk to you."


    "The reason why we chose to use the common people to threaten you is that we have already expected the result."


    "Ben knew from the beginning that you would not ignore the people for the sake of the city, so he made a plan to threaten you with the people. In fact, this will be the first time to do such a thing. "


    Xia Houdun said, "threatening you with the common people does not mean that Ben Jiang is a cruel and merciless man, but Ben Jiang only takes advantage of your weakness."


    "Ah


    When Hu Lan heard the speech, she was surprised.


    It seemed that he was moved by harhoughton.


    Hu Lan''s expression made XiahouDun''s face a little more satisfied.


    Xia Houdun continued: "if the king of Wei knew that he would use the common people, he would certainly scold him. Under the rule of the king of Wei, people were never allowed to threaten. If the war turns into a fight without a bottom line, then the world will be hopeless. "


    Xia Houdun said, "does the magistrate of county Hu understand what this general means?"


    Hu Lan said: "don''t worry, general Xiahou. Hu understands. Hu will, as always, govern Huyang County well. "


    XiahouDun said: "there are loyal people who work for the king of Wei."


    "No!"


    When Hu Lan heard the words, he directly responded.


    Immediately, Hu Lan said: "general Xiahou came from a long way, but my lower officer prepared a little wine to help him. If what I expected is not bad, after general Xiahou took control of Huyang County, he should be close to Chaoyang County. "


    "So it is


    XiahouDun nodded and answered directly.


    The soldiers entered Chaoyang County and seized the barrier between Chaoyang County and Deng county.


    In this way, Liu Xiu''s retreat was cut off.


    Hu Lan said: "in this way, the next officer should be more prepared to practice for general Xiahou."


    He went down in a hurry, leaving behind Xia Houyuan and all the officials of the county government, chatting with Xia Houdun one by one to pass the time.


    Hu Lan out of the hall, soon came to the backyard kitchen.


    In the kitchen, Wei Yan and the rest of the soldiers were all dressed in servants'' clothes.


    Everyone had been waiting, waiting for Houghton to come in.


    Now that everything is ready, it''s time for Wei Yan to take action. At this point in the plan, as long as you kill Xia Houdun, you can finish up, then go to Chaoyang County, and meet Liu Xiu.


    "It''s too much," said Hu. Now, I''ll serve the food and wine to Charlotte Houghton at once


    "I understand!"


    Wei Yan nodded and waved, Hu Lan left.


    Then, Wei yanphen ordered to go down, and everyone took action. They took what they had already prepared and began to walk out of the kitchen, and then walked towards the hall.


    Hu Lan returned to the hall and sat down, saying: "general Xiahou, because the county government is not rich, although it is hot summer now, there is no frozen wine, only the wine sealed and placed in the water tank, you can only make do with it. Please don''t blame the general."


    "No harm, wine is enough!"There was a smile on his face.


    If Hu Lan is willing to be obedient, things will be easy to handle.


    Hu Lan then said, "general Xia Houdun suddenly attacked Huyang county. Didn''t the king of Chu get any news?"


    Xia Houdun laughed and said, "this general is also a veteran general on the battlefield. He has been fighting for decades. How can he not even do this. The general''s soldiers were ambushed in the daytime and at night. Naturally, Liu Xiu couldn''t find out. "


    After a pause, Xia Houdun said, "magistrate Hu, as long as you are good at it, promotion is inevitable."


    "Yes


    When Hu Lan heard the words, she bowed her hand to answer.


    Hu Lan continued: "general Xia Hou, I''d like to ask you a question that shouldn''t be asked."


    "What''s the problem?" Said Charlotte Houghton.


    Hu Lan said: "since Chaoyang County has been captured, why not go south to Deng county and attack Jingzhou? The army of the king of Chu is all in Chaoyang County. At this time, attacking Jingzhou is a wonderful move. "


    "Ha ha ha..."


    After hearing this, XiahouDun could not help laughing.


    "Why does the general laugh?" Hu Lan asked


    Xia Houdun stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "so the magistrate of Hu county is a civil servant, and he would have been a military general. County Magistrate Hu is good at governing internal affairs, but you don''t know about marching and fighting. "


    "There are three reasons for not attacking Jingzhou."


    "First of all, Liu Xiu is extremely cunning. Even if he left with a large army, there must not be a small number of troops left in Xiangyang, Jingzhou. He must have been on guard for a long time. It is not difficult for us to attack Deng county and Xiangyang. "


    "Second, Wuling county and Jiangxia county have a large army stationed. At that time, Zhao Yun and taishici can support at any time to ensure the safety of Xiangyang. Once Ben will go to Xiangyang, he will fall into Liu Xiu''s army. "


    "Third, he would have captured Huyang county and attacked Chaoyang County, which immediately put Liu Xiu in a crisis. Under such circumstances, it is more appropriate to attack Liu Xiu. "


    "There are other reasons, of course," said charlotten. But there is no doubt that it is the most appropriate thing to go north to attack Chaoyang County. "


    Hu Lan seemed to understand, and said: "I understand!"


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of footwork came in from outside the hall.


    A group of attendants came in, who were Wei Yan and others who were delivering wine and vegetables for Xia Houdun and others.


    When they entered the hall, the entourage offered food and wine to XiahouDun and his general, while Wei Yan, holding a plate in both hands, went straight to XiahouDun.


    In order to distract Xia Houdun, Hu Lan said: "this pot of wine of general Xia Hou is unique. Among all the people, only one pot of wine of general Xia Hou is daughter red, and that''s the only pot of wine for the lower officials."


    "Well, thank you very much."


    XiahouDun was also a good drinker, and his face was smiling when he heard that his daughter was red.


    It''s a pleasure to have good wine.


    Wei Yan came to XiahouDun. He first put the outer edge of the plate on the desk, then put his hand under it and pushed it forward slowly.


    At this time, Wei Yan''s hand suddenly withdrew from the bottom of the plate.


    "XiahouDun, die!"


    Wei Yan drank low, cut out the dagger in his hand, and a cold light flashed away in the air.


    The summer Hou Dun Leng next, but the body quickly back a Yang.


    However, it is still a step too late.


    "Puchi!"


    The sharp dagger still cut the left arm of shahhoudun, leaving a wound on it. The flesh turned and the blood flowed, and the pain made XiahouDun show his teeth.


    "Son of a bitch!"


    Xia Houdun was furious. He didn''t expect that Hu Lan would design to assassinate him.


    How unreasonable!


    "Kill


    XiahouDun directly drew out his sword and then killed Wei Yan. At the time of the attack, XiahouDun glanced around, but saw that his soldiers were assassinated, and many people were killed one after another.


    And Hu Lan this person, still sitting in the seat.


    Damn it!


    XiahouDun''s face was full of anger, and his hand was even more powerful. He tried to split to Wei Yan.


    Wei Yan waves a dagger to attack, the dagger collides with the sword and makes a dull sound.


    "Kick! Kick


    Wei Yanlian stepped back three steps, with a look of horror on his face.


    The other side is stronger than him.


    Xia Houdun only stepped back. He stared at Wei Yan and said, "boy, you''re dead. You should assassinate him. Hum, Hu Lan is going to die. You stubborn people are going to die. "


    "Kill


    Xia Houdun was good at martial arts, so he went directly to fight Wei Yan.


    Through the fight just now, XiahouDun had judged that the man in front of him was the most skilled in martial arts. Kill the person in front of him, and then he takes down Hu Lan, everything will be OK.


    The sword in XiahouDun''s hand opened and closed in a fierce manner. It was a fight with his life on the battlefield.Wei Yan is also fighting, he is also fighting for his life, and XiahouDun in exchange for injury.


    In a short time, Wei Yan''s shoulder, left chest, abdomen and right arm were all hit by the sword. His blood overflowed and dyed his clothes red. His whole body was like a bloody man.


    In the same way, XiahouDun was stabbed a few times.


    In addition to a knife in the left arm at the beginning, there was a knife in the shoulder, back and chest.


    The fighting between the two men is totally life for life.


    Regardless of life or death!


    No fear of opponents!


    After fighting for dozens of moves, they stood still and stared at each other with a cold look in their eyes.


    "Hoo! Hoo


    XiahouDun breathed heavily, his face was tired, his body, especially his brain, was a little confused, and his mind was not sober.


    Xia Houdun shook his head and stared at Wei Yan.


    At this time, Wei Yan pulled out a radian from the corner of his mouth, with a strange smile on his face.

 Chapter 641

    "What''s the matter?"


    Xia Houdun shook his head. In his sight, Wei Yan''s figure was shaking.


    Do I bleed too much?


    XiahouDun looked at his wound and saw that it was bleeding, but not too much. Xia Houdun looked up at Wei Yan, but he saw a smile on the corner of Wei Yan''s mouth.


    "It''s a trick!"


    "Is the knife poisonous?" roared XiahouDun


    Wei Yan said: "you are not stupid. You finally understand."


    At this time, Wei Yan did not hide any more.


    By now, XiahouDun had been poisoned, and gradually became dizzy. It was impossible to compete with him any more.


    "No way," said Xia Houdun. "I''m familiar with poison, and I can smell it better. The color of your knife is not the smell of poison. "


    Wei Yan said with a smile: "of course, it''s not a fatal poison, it''s just a coma drug. I had expected that poison would be easily detected, so I used poison. How about that? Does it taste good? "


    "You''re mean," said XiahouDun


    Wei Yan said, "if you catch the people in Huyang County, won''t you be forced to do so?"


    "Ha ha ha..."


    There was a touch of sadness in his eyes.


    Make a cocoon of yourself!


    He calculated everything, but he didn''t expect such a result.


    It''s a trick!


    It''s been calculated!


    Wait, the person in front of you calls himself "general.".


    Xia Houdun looked at Wei Yan and said, "who is your excellency? It''s... "


    At this point, XiahouDun couldn''t hold on any longer. His head suddenly tilted, and he fell to the ground and fainted. Wei Yan stepped forward, grabbed XiahouDun directly, and roared: "XiahouDun is already in the hands of the general. Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who resist will be killed without mercy."


    At the command, all the soldiers who followed XiahouDun looked frightened.


    One by one, they resisted for a while, and finally they all gave up.


    There was despair on all faces.


    I didn''t expect that the whole county was under control.


    In a short time, everyone was arrested.


    Hu Lan came to Wei Yan with a smile on his face and said, "Congratulations, general. He won XiahouDun, and the general made a great contribution. "


    Wei Yan said: "in this, there is also your credit."


    Hu Lan shook his head and said, "I''m just acting on the orders of the adults."


    Wei Yan said, "well, don''t flatter me."


    "Somebody


    Wei Yan gave a direct order.


    A general came to Wei Yan and said, "my Lord!"


    Wei Yan said, "send an order to Deng yuan immediately to encircle Xia Houdun''s army stationed outside the city."


    "No!"


    The general left, and Wei Yan issued an order to mobilize his army.


    After finishing all this, Wei Yan asked people to wake up the bound XiahouDun.


    XiahouDun awoke in a daze, and suddenly found that his collection was bound. When he opened his eyes, his vision gradually became clear, and he saw XiahouDun sitting on the throne, and said, "who is your excellency?"


    Wei Yan said with a smile: "it''s normal that you don''t know my officer, Xia Houdun."


    "Wei Yan, are you Wei Yan, the prefect of Nanyang County?"


    The summer Hou Dun stares big eyes, the Mou son reveals a silk of inconceivable.


    Xia Houdun did not meet Wei Yan, but when he arrived in Xinye County, he asked Cao Ren about the situation of Nanyang County and learned that Wei Yan, the prefect of Nanyang County, was a capable man, so he knew about Wei Yan.


    Unexpectedly, I met Wei Yan under such circumstances.


    Xia Hou Dun said: "how can Wei Taishou appear in Huyang county?"


    Wei Yan said: "up to now, don''t you understand?"


    "In the end, what''s wrong with us?" said XiahouDun, with a gloomy look. "Why can you predict in advance?"


    Wei Yan said with a smile: "Ben Jiang and Zhang Ren have been stationed in Nanyang County for many years. They have arranged spies to hide in all the secret roads and mountains in Nanyang County. The purpose is to find out your whereabouts and avoid you sneaking into Nanyang County."


    "You and Cao Ren lead their own troops, one in Yin county and the other in Huyang County, intending to attack Yin county and Huyang county. At this stage, the king of Chu retreated. Hum, this news has already been known to us."


    "By the way, Cao Ren is dead."


    "The whole army led by Cao Ren has been destroyed."


    With a smile on his face, Wei Yan said, "Cao Ren is dead, and now your army is going to be destroyed. Both of you are the ministers of Cao Cao. Now Cao Cao''s right arm is broken again. I don''t know how Cao Cao will feel. It''s exciting to think about it. "Brush!


    XiahouDun''s face became very pale.


    Cao Ren also lost. How can it be? Why is Cao Ren dead.


    "You deceive me, you deceive on purpose, and then you want to defeat my soldiers."


    Wei Yan tut tut two voices, way: "deceiving you can have what advantage?"? Besides, Ben will have caught you. Now you are my pawn. It''s easy to kill you. The reason why I keep you is to give Cao Cao a heavy blow. Now that you wake up, let''s go and watch the destruction of your soldiers


    With a wave of his hand, Wei Yan''s soldiers, with XiahouDun and XiahouDun''s deployment, left the county government office and went straight to the gate of the city.


    With the accompanying army and XiahouDun in hand, Wei Yan easily regained the control of the gate.


    All the soldiers at the gate were arrested.


    Wei Yan''s army gathered together, and then escorted XiahouDun and others out of the city, straight to XiahouDun''s camp. Not long after XiahouDun left the camp, Deng yuan got the news that he had brought his soldiers to the camp and blocked the camp of XiahouDun''s soldiers.


    Deng yuan looked at Wei Yan and said, "Wei Taishou!"


    His eyes fell on XiahouDun, and he said: "it''s admirable that Wei Taishou won XiahouDun easily without a single soldier."


    Wei Yan said with a light smile: "it''s all small things. It''s nothing to worry about. It is admirable that general Deng killed Cao Ren. Now, I need the help of general Deng to make a forced landing on XiahouDun''s soldiers. "


    Xia Houdun said: "Wei Yan, it''s impossible for you to make the soldiers under the general surrender. Ben would rather die than surrender. "


    As a man of Cao Cao, Xia Houdun had enough pride.


    It''s impossible for him to order the soldiers to surrender.


    Wei Yan said with a smile: "general Xiahou, you think too much. This will never let you speak, your role is a puppet, just appear outside the camp


    "Somebody


    Wei Yan gave the order directly.


    When the soldier came up, Wei Yan said, "bind XiahouDun to the stake, and then carry him forward. In addition, if you shut up XiahouDun''s mouth, I don''t want to see any accident when I recruit Cao Jun


    "No!"


    The soldiers have to be ordered to move immediately.


    One by one, the soldiers began to move. Soon, like rice dumplings, XiahouDun was completely tied up, and his mouth was blocked. He could not move or make any sound.


    With a smile in his mouth, Wei Yan came forward with the soldiers.


    The two armies held down the battle, which made the soldiers of XiahouDun dare not act rashly or even fear.


    Wei Yan came to the outside of Cao''s camp. With a bright smile on his face, he cried out: "Cao''s soldiers listen, XiahouDun is in the hands of his own officer, and XiahouDun and the rest of the generals are all captured. You have no leader and you are surrounded. Now, you have no choice but to lay down your arms and surrender. I will not kill the prisoners. "


    Shouts came into the camp.


    One by one, the soldiers could see that their eyes fell on the stake. XiahouDun, who was tied up like a rice dumpling, had a deep worry on his face.


    Harhoughton is captured. Can they hold on?


    There are enemies all around. Can they escape?


    XiahouDun''s eyes fell on his camp. Seeing the expression of his soldiers and the floating heart of the army, XiahouDun thought that the situation was not good. He kept struggling, but he was tied up all over. No matter how hard he struggled, it didn''t help.


    Wei Yan continued: "all of you listen. Cao Ren, your other reinforcements, has also been killed. Now, you have no food and no reinforcements. You are alone. "


    "You want to resist? How long will it last? "


    "XiahouDun is in my hands. If you resist, I will fight against XiahouDun."


    "If one person resists, I will cut off one finger of XiahouDun; if ten people resist, I will cut off ten fingers of XiahouDun; if one hundred people resist, I will cut off the fingers and toes of both hands and feet of XiahouDun; if one thousand people resist, I will cut off both legs and hands of XiahouDun."


    Wei Yan''s eyes twinkled with moring''s intention to kill him. He said, "if you all resist, then I will kill Xia Houdun."


    "You resisted, but Charlotte was dead."


    "XiahouDun was Cao Cao''s confidant and minister. Can Cao Cao spare you even if you run back, regardless of the life of Xia Houdun? "


    Wei Yan shook his head and said, "that''s a fool''s dream. Cao Cao can''t let you go."


    At this time, Wei Yan constantly bewitched the soldiers.


    When Cao''s soldiers heard this, they all looked hesitant. Yes, if they resist and lead to the death of XiahouDun, can they go back?


    How do they choose?


    No, they have no choice but to surrender.With a smile in his mouth, Wei Yan continued: "now, you put down your arms and surrender. I will let bygones be bygones. You are the people of the king of Chu. "


    XiahouDun looked in his eyes and heard in his ears. His face was anxious and struggling.


    You can''t surrender!


    Never surrender!


    The heart of XiahouDun kept shouting, but the soldiers under his command looked at XiahouDun. At last, one of them suddenly stood up, threw away his weapon with a bang, and said in a loud voice, "I''m willing to surrender."


    The first man stood up, and in an instant, countless soldiers began to surrender.


    The soldiers surrendered and fell to their knees.


    This scene makes Wei Yan''s face more brilliant.

 Chapter 642

    Surrender was like a plague. In a very short time, it spread all over Cao''s camp.


    All the soldiers threw down their weapons and surrendered.


    One by one soldiers knelt on the ground, their faces were extremely cautious and worried.


    Wei Yan is smiling at the moment.


    With a wave of his hand, the soldiers under his command quickly came forward and collected their weapons directly. Then they detained all the Cao soldiers and took them away continuously.


    XiahouDun was tied to the stake. He saw the scene and struggled.


    In the eyes, there is endless anger.


    Lost!


    He really lost!


    If Wei Yan killed Xia Houdun in front of all the soldiers and made Cao''s soldiers feel the desire of revenge, then this battle will still have a chance to win. However, in the present situation, Wei Yan adopted the method of cutting flesh with a soft knife. First, he bound Xia Houdun and then bewitched him with words, which completely destroyed the morale of all Cao soldiers.


    A ray of crystal tears swirled in the eyes of XiahouDun.


    Men have tears, but not to sad place.


    The defeat of Xia Houdun completely put Cao Cao in a disadvantageous position, and his heart was extremely sad.


    Blame yourself!


    It''s more painful.


    At this moment, it would be better for him to die.


    Wei Yan looked at Xiahou Dun and said with a smile: "general Xiahou, as the saying goes, those who know current affairs are heroes. Ask yourself, has Cao Cao ever had a chance to win since he fought with the king of Chu


    "In the past, the king of Chu personally went north to Xuchang to celebrate the birthday of the emperor. Cao Cao was disheartened."


    "Later, Cao Cao ignited 200000 troops and went south. He was burned clean by the king of Chu."


    "In the battle of Hanzhong, Cao Cao lost XiaHouYuan, abandoned his armor, damaged countless armies, and even lost Chang''an and Liangzhou. Many losses are simply uncountable. "


    With a smile on his face, Wei Yan said: "Cao Cao is old. This time he will fight against the king of Chu, he will beat the king of Chu in one go. But Cao Cao is really old. He can''t do anything about it any more. "


    "Therefore, there is no doubt that Cao Cao will be defeated."


    "General Xiahou is a strong general. He should understand the reason why good birds choose trees to live in."


    "For your own sake and for your family, are you willing to submit to the king of Chu?"


    Wei Yan took down the cloth that had been put in the mouth of Xia Houdun, and his face looked expectant. If XiahouDun was really willing to surrender, he would have dealt a great blow to Cao Cao before the battle, and even made him depressed.


    This is what Wei yanpo is looking forward to.


    Xia Houdun stared at Wei Yan and said, "Wei Yan, I never heard of you in the past, but today I know that you are not a mediocre person. It''s just that you''re hiding behind Zhang Ren. Wei Yan, what a Wei Yan


    Wei Yan said with a smile: "general Xiahou has been praised falsely!"


    "I want to see Liu Xiu," said Xia Houdun


    "Good! No problem. "


    Wei Yan didn''t think of persuading XiahouDun immediately. Such talents as XiahouDun can''t be easily recruited. Since Xia Houdun wanted to see Liu Xiu, it meant that it could be negotiated.


    Everything is possible!


    Wei Yan asked people to put down XiahouDun, and even more relaxed XiahouDun.


    After that, he put XiahouDun in temporary custody in the camp.


    Deng yuan looked at Wei Yan and said, "Wei Taishou, what should we do now?"


    Wei Yan said: "naturally, I will return to Chaoyang County immediately and join my Lord. I believe that the news that Cao Ren was killed and that Xia Houdun was captured will surprise Cao Cao. "


    Deng yuan nodded and said, "my soldiers have come a long way, and have a rest for half a day. Then, the army can set out for Chaoyang County. "


    "Yes


    Wei Yan nodded, because he also had some things to negotiate with Hu Lan.


    Wei Yan went back to the city, talked with Hu Lan about the handover, and left the county.


    After a half day''s rest, the army set off for the north.


    All the way north, all went well, and in the north, Cao soldiers wanted to escape, but were killed one by one. In the end, Wei Yan directly gave an order, with ten people as a group. If one of the ten people escaped, the remaining nine people would also be directly executed.


    This order is equivalent to LianZuo.


    Although the order is rather harsh, in fact, it is the most useful.


    Anyone who wants to escape has to be watched.


    In this way, no one ran away, and everyone was obedient to avoid being killed.


    When the army rushed back, the news spread to the outside of Xinye city.


    Chinese army big account!


    Liu XiuXiu discussed with Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others. At this time, Deng Zhan came in in a hurry. With a smile in his eyes, Deng Zhan came to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Highness, good news has come."Liu Xiu stopped and said, "have you heard from Wei Yan and Deng yuan?"


    "Yes


    Deng Zhan replied.


    Liu Xiu couldn''t wait to say: "speak quickly!"


    This time, Liu Xiu fought with Cao Cao, but after a battle, he did not fight again. Both sides are working hard, waiting for the news.


    In Liu Xiu''s plan, the success or failure of Wei Yan and Deng yuan is the most crucial battle.


    Deng Zhan said: "the news from Wei Taishou is that he and general Deng yuan are on their way. In this battle, general Deng killed Wei general Cao Ren and completely annihilated Cao Ren''s army. The Wei Taishou captured XiahouDun alive and captured thousands of elite under XiahouDun''s command. "


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Liu Xiu couldn''t help laughing.


    Good news!


    This is really good news.


    Cao Ren was killed and Xia Houdun was captured.


    With this condition, the next battle between Liu Xiu and Cao Cao will be interesting. In this war, Cao Cao will not occupy any advantage. On the contrary, Liu Xiu can turn the situation around and strike Cao Cao smoothly.


    Liu Xiu asked, "when will Wei Yan and Deng yuan arrive?"


    Deng Zhan replied, "it''s expected to be three days later!"


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "three days is three days. Three days later, it''s time for us to fight Cao Cao again."


    Deng Zhan added: "Wei Taishou also said that he would surrender XiahouDun, but XiahouDun did not object and said that he wanted to see you."


    Liu Xiu said, "I''m afraid it''s not easy for Xia Houdun to surrender."


    Jia Xu said: "everything is possible. When your highness sees XiahouDun, he will be able to do it


    Liu Xiu nodded and agreed with Jia Xu''s analysis.


    As soon as the conversation changed, Liu Xiu said: "Wenhe and Shiyuan, we win two battles, then we have more initiative. What shall we do next? "


    Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw, with a bright smile on his face, and said: "next, your highness, I think we can completely set up the battle and fight against Cao Cao. However, in the decisive battle, Xia Houdun and the captured soldiers should be allowed to come out to attack Cao Cao''s morale. "


    "But the most important thing is to crack down on Cao Cao."


    "According to the information we have received over the years, Cao Cao''s headache is getting worse and worse, and he will attack from time to time."


    "Cao Cao''s illness should not be too irritated."


    "The death of Cao Ren and the capture of Xia Houdun are the factors that stimulate Cao Cao. If Cao Ren''s death and Xia Houdun really surrender, it would be a stab in Cao Cao''s heart, and it would certainly make Cao Cao''s heart ache. "


    Jia Xu''s eyes twinkled with cold light, and said: "if Cao Cao is on the verge of attack, let''s fight again. The battle of Nanyang County will be a complete foregone conclusion. We have captured Nanyang County and defeated Cao Cao with thunder, so Sun Quan can''t fish in troubled waters, he can only stay in Jiangdong and dare not move. "


    In his words, Jia Xu was still on guard against Sun Quan of Jiangdong.


    Jiangdong Sun Quan is also a fierce tiger.


    But now Liu Xiu''s biggest enemy is Cao Cao. As long as Cao Cao is solved, Sun Quan is just a minor problem.

 Chapter 643

    Liu Xiu nodded and said with a look of approval: "Wenhe is right. If he can really bring down XiahouDun and let XiahouDun say something, then Cao Cao must be angry and attack his heart. There is a great probability that he will get sick on the spot."


    Pang Tong''s eyes twinkled with a look of thinking, and said: "it''s not sure whether he can recruit XiahouDun. So, it''s an unknown thing. I think whether we can settle down the matter of XiahouDun can stimulate Cao Cao thoroughly. "


    "Hard!"


    Jia Xu shook his head and said, "there are too many uncertainties in this matter."


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "it''s OK, even if XiahouDun doesn''t surrender. If we kill XiahouDun in front of Cao Cao, we can achieve the same effect. "


    Jia Xu said: "Your Highness is wise!"


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "now, we can think about the war in three days."


    "Deng Zhan!"


    Liu Xiu gave the order directly.


    "Yes


    Deng Zhan gave a reply.


    Liu Xiu said, "send someone to deliver a letter directly to Cao Cao''s camp and tell him that three days later, our king will fight with him."


    "No!"


    After hearing the speech, Deng Zhan turned around and went down to prepare.


    "Wait a minute!"


    Pang Tong reached out to stop.


    Deng Zhan stops, but looks at Pang Tong with doubts in his eyes. Why did Pang Tong stop him.


    Pang Tong looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Your Highness, the news that XiahouDun was captured and caoren was killed has not yet spread. Once we take the initiative to fight in the afternoon, will we scare the snake and let Cao Cao know in advance? If Cao Cao knows ahead of time, it will certainly make him psychologically prepared and hard to achieve the effect of suddenly attacking him. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "no, I just want Cao Cao to know."


    Pang Tong said, "what does your highness mean?"


    Liu Xiu replied: "the truth is very simple. If we don''t let Cao Cao know, in three days'' time, we will give Cao Cao a strange surprise, which will catch him off guard."


    "However, to inform Cao Cao in advance also has certain advantages, that is, to increase Cao Cao''s psychological burden."


    "Cao Ren is the first person to follow Cao Cao, and he is a brother."


    "XiahouDun was also the first person to follow Cao Cao, and he was also a brother."


    "These two men are very important in Cao Cao''s mind. Especially XiahouDun. The death of XiaHouYuan has already made Cao Cao lose an arm. Now that XiahouDun has an accident again, the burden in Cao Cao''s heart will be even heavier. "


    Liu Xiu talked with great eloquence and analyzed: "moreover, even if we don''t pass on the news, once Wei Yan and Deng yuan lead the army into Xinye, I''m afraid it''s hard to hide Cao."


    "So we told Cao Cao in advance, but we didn''t tell him the details."


    "Cao Cao will have guesses and doubts."


    "The more suspicious he is, the more uneasy he is, the more nervous he will be. Cao Cao''s continuous worry and tension is always in a tense state, which is not good for his head wind disease. "


    Liu Xiu''s eyes twinkled with light, and said: "once Cao Cao really confirms the news that Cao Ren was killed and Xia Houdun was captured, it will be the last straw that killed the camel, and Cao Cao will bear more severe blows."


    Jia Xu''s eyes twinkled after listening.


    A moment later, Jia Xu said: "Your Highness''s words are indeed this truth."


    Pang Tong said, "well, I''ll do it according to your Highness''s orders."


    After hearing this, Deng Zhan did not hesitate to leave the camp directly, and then took part of the royal guards with him to leave the camp quickly and head for Cao Cao''s camp.


    When he came to Cao Cao''s camp, Deng Zhan directly ordered the action.


    The archer quickly released his arrows, and one feather arrow passed through the air, and finally landed in Cao Cao''s camp.


    Cao Cao''s soldiers were on guard, while Deng Zhan brushed his clothes and left.


    Xun you was patrolling in the camp. When he saw this, he immediately ordered the soldiers to pick up all the bows and arrows and collect the notes tied to them. After he took them apart, he went straight to the Chinese army.


    When he came to the camp, Cao Cao was dealing with military affairs.


    Cao Cao said: "Gongda is coming, sit down!"


    When Xun you sat down and saw that Cao Cao was still dealing with military affairs, he did not disturb him for the time being.


    A moment later, Cao Cao finished his work. Then he looked at Xun you and said, "I heard Xu Chu say that you were patrolling in the camp. Why did you suddenly come to me?"


    Xun you came forward, handed the note, and said: "King Wei, Liu Xiu''s soldiers just came, and then shot many bows and arrows into the camp. All the bows and arrows were bound with notes."


    Cao Cao took it and looked at it quickly.


    "Three days later, fight again!"


    Cao Cao repeated, his face showing a look of doubt, said: "these days, Liu Xiu has been on strike. Now, Liu Xiu went to war directly. It''s really strange. ""Somebody


    Cao Cao gave a direct order.


    In an instant, Xu Chu quickly came in and saluted.


    Cao Cao said, "Zhongkang, send someone to invite Cheng Yu, man Chong, Chen Qun, Liu Ye and others to discuss the matter."


    "No!"


    Xu Chu held his fist and turned around to arrange it.


    Cao Cao looked at Xun you and asked, "Gongda, Liu Xiu suddenly went to war. What do you think?"


    Xun you said: "the king of Wei, in the next time, he can''t figure it out. Maybe Liu Xiu is ready to fight. Perhaps it was Liu Xiu who discovered the intention of general Xia Houdun and general Cao Ren, and knew that the rear area was unstable, so he planned to fight against his highness. "


    Cao Cao''s eyes narrowed and said, "Gongda, this time, you are not honest. You lied."


    Xun you said with a smile, "the king of Wei, there is a third possibility."


    Cao Cao said solemnly: "wait a moment, when they are all here, you can talk about the third possibility, and then everyone will analyze it together."


    "No!"


    Xun you nodded, and his face was solemn.


    Soon, Cheng Yu, man Chong, Chen Qun, Liu Ye and other literary officials all entered the camp.


    The crowd saluted and sat down in the tent.


    Cao Cao''s eyes swept over the crowd, and his face became especially dignified. He said slowly: "just now, I received the letter of war sent by Liu Xiu, saying that I would fight again in three days. As for this news, after discussing with Gongda, I think it is very unfavorable for us. Gongda, you can analyze it. "


    "No!"


    Xun you answered with a solemn expression on his face.


    Liu Xiu''s action was too abrupt, so Xun you was nervous.


    Xun you took a deep breath and said, "I think about the situation that Liu Xiu suddenly sent the book of war. There are three possibilities. The first is that Liu Xiu has not fought for such a long time, and now he has decided to fight. "


    "Second, Liu Xiu learned the news from the rear, and knew that Cao Ren and general Xia Houdun cut off their respective routes, so Liu Xiu was eager to fight a decisive battle, and then solved Xia Houdun and Cao Ren at one stroke."


    "Third, Liu Xiu had known for a long time what Cao Ren and general Xia Houdun were doing. Now, Liu Xiu has solved the threat of Cao Ren and Xia Houdun and completely pacified the rear area, so now he has to start a decisive battle. "


    Xun you''s eyes showed prudence.


    The third is the last thing he wants to see. Such a result is bound to be the worst one, and also the last one that people want to see.


    Cao Cao''s eyes narrowed and his hand on his leg suddenly clenched into a fist.


    In my eyes, there is a strong worry.


    From the beginning, Cao Cao''s army was supported by the brothers of Cao family and Xiahou family, and then he came to today step by step. Now that XiaHouYuan is dead, if Cao Ren and XiahouDun are wrong, then


    Think of here, Cao Cao brain on a burst of pain.


    Cao Cao clenched his teeth and endured it, unwilling to think about the worst.


    It''s going to be fine.


    It will be safe.


    Cao Cao''s eyes showed a look of prayer.


    Up to now, Cao Cao has no solution. He can only pray for their safety.


    When they heard the words, their faces were cautious.


    Cheng Yu stroked his beard under his jaw and said in a deep voice: "King Wei, no matter how Cao Ren and Xia Houdun fought. Now Liu Xiu wants to fight, we can''t show weakness. I believe that after three days of fighting, we can naturally get a glimpse of the truth. Instead of thinking and worrying here, it''s better to order the soldiers to prepare for war. On the contrary, it can better stabilize the situation. "


    Man Chong nodded and said, "Duke Zhongde is right. What he can do now is to wait. In addition, you can send someone to inquire about the news and see if you can contact the Scouts of Xia Houdun and Cao Ren. "


    They all agreed with Cheng Yu''s analysis.


    After hearing this, Cao Cao''s emotion gradually calmed down. Although he was also extremely worried, he was really powerless and had to wait for the current situation.


    Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu and said, "Mr. Zhong De, try your best to arrange spies to inquire about the news."


    "No!"


    Cheng Yu arched his hand to answer, and his expression was solemn.


    Cao Cao looked at Xun you again and said, "Gongda, send orders and prepare for war. Three days later, I''m going to fight Liu Xiu. "


    "No!"


    Xun you nodded and his face was extremely cautious.


    Cao Cao waved the crowd to retreat, and sat alone in the camp, thinking about today''s affairs. Although it is useless for Cheng Yu to persuade him to worry for the time being, he is his brother after all. How can he not worry.


    All, only wish health!


    In Cao Cao''s heart, he prayed that Cao Ren and XiahouDun would be safe.

 Chapter 644

    Two days later, on this day, the army led by Wei Yan and Deng yuan arrived at Liu Xiu''s camp.


    According to the original plan, the army led by Wei Yan should take about three days to arrive, but in order to seize the time, Wei Yan and Deng yuan rushed all the way and finally arrived in the shortest time.


    When the army arrived, Wei Yan and Deng yuan''s troops entered the camp.


    Apart from that, harhoudun and his captives were all held in solitary custody.


    Chinese army big account!


    Wei Yan and Deng yuan stooped to stand.


    Two people have successfully completed the task, specially back to hand over.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on them, with a smile on his face, and said, "you have both accomplished quite well. This time, it''s hard for you. "


    Wei Yan said: "no hard work!"


    Deng Yuandao said: "depending on the king of Chu, Tianwei will fulfill his mission."


    They both answered with a trace of pride on their faces.


    Kill Cao Ren!


    Capture harhoughton.


    No matter what kind of war it is, it has made considerable achievements.


    Liu Xiu laughed, waved his hand and said, "sit down!"


    "Thank you, King Chu!"


    Wei Yan and Deng yuan gave thanks, and then sat down directly.


    Liu Xiu looked at Wei Yan and said, "Wei Yan, your letter says that Xia Houdun is willing to surrender, but what''s his plan to see the king?"


    Wei Yan said, "if you report back to the king of Chu, you will not be able to guess what Xia Houdun thought."


    Liu xiudao: "since so, see him first!"


    "Somebody


    Liu xiuphen asked, in an instant, Deng Zhan came in.


    Liu xiudao: "go and bring Xia Houdun."


    "No!"


    When Deng Zhan got the order, he went down to make arrangements.


    In a short time, XiahouDun, under the custody of the soldiers, came to the camp. Now XiahouDun''s face was solemn, his temples were white, and he looked haggard.


    Lose to Wei Yan!


    This incident dealt a great blow to harhoughton.


    Especially now that he has become a prisoner and a fish on Liu Xiu''s chopping board, Xia Houdun is even more uncomfortable.


    XiahouDun took a deep breath, raised his head, and tried to keep a confident and calm look.


    Even in the face of Liu Xiu, he can''t lose his bearing.


    Liu Xiu said, "general Xiahou, listen to Wei Yan, do you want to see the king?"


    "Yes


    Charlotte Houghton''s brief answer.


    Liu xiudao: "what''s the matter?"


    He said in a deep voice, "it''s very simple. You want to surrender me. Even if you want me to betray in front of Cao Cao, you must promise me three conditions. "


    Liu Xiumei head a pick, way: "which three conditions?"


    Liu Xiu was very curious about what Xia Houdun put forward.


    In fact, Liu Xiu didn''t believe in XiahouDun, because XiahouDun and Cao Cao were too close. How could he surrender to such a close relationship?


    Like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Liu Bei.


    To attract Guan Yu and Zhang Fei is just like going to hell.


    Similarly, it is extremely difficult to recruit Xia Houyuan, Xia Houdun, Cao Ren and others.


    These people are Cao Cao''s direct family. They can''t surrender at all. In particular, harhoudun, who was as strong as fire, was a first-class and strong character.


    Such a person, even in the face of Lu Bu such a fierce general, also happy not afraid.


    Not afraid of death?


    What else are you afraid of?


    It was only that Xia Houdun offered the conditions, and Liu Xiu also wanted to know what Xia Houdun''s conditions were?


    "First of all, be kind to the thousands of elite under my command. If the soldiers want to stay, let them go. If they are willing to stay, the king of Chu will incorporate them into the army, but they must not be treated differently, let alone discriminated against. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "of course!"


    Liu Xiu never looked at his soldiers with colored eyes.


    As long as Cao''s soldiers are willing to submit, as long as they are willing to obey the arrangements and the reorganization, then everything is easy to say.


    XiahouDun added: "second, I don''t want to fight face to face with the king of Wei. Therefore, even if I help you to persuade the king of Wei to surrender, I will avoid as long as it involves fighting between the two sides. If the king of Chu doesn''t want to, or doesn''t agree, he can give me a death. "


    Liu Xiu smile, said: "your second condition, the king can also allow."


    In the past, Lu Su proposed similar conditions when he surrendered.


    Now XiahouDun put forward similar conditions, and Liu Xiu agreed.


    Xia Houdun nodded and said, "my third condition is that if the king of Chu defeats the king of Wei, or even captures the king of Wei, he must not kill the king of Wei but save his life."


    Liu Xiu was silent when he heard the speech.His eyes were fixed on XiahouDun, examining the degree of truth and falsehood in his words.


    However, Liu Xiu couldn''t tell the truth for a moment.


    Xia Houdun laughed and said wildly, "if the king of Chu doesn''t want to, you can give me a pleasure and kill me." He stares at Liu Xiu, and a chill passes in his eyes.


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Liu Xiu burst out laughing and said, "it''s not a big deal to leave Cao Cao alive. In this case, the king can promise that as long as he defeats Cao Cao, he will save Cao Cao''s life. "


    There was a trace of consternation on XiahouDun''s face.


    Liu Xiu really agreed!


    It was a matter of some consternation to harhoughton.


    XiahouDun took a deep breath and said, "since the king of Chu has agreed to three conditions, XiahouDun is willing to surrender."


    "Good!"


    Liu xiudao said: "I''ve got Xiahou general. I''m like a tiger. General Xiahou has been driving all the way here. It''s hard. Let''s have a rest. When you have a good rest, I will arrange things for you. "


    "No!"


    Then, led by the soldiers, he turned and left.


    After XiahouDun left, Liu Xiu looked at his men and asked, "what do you think of XiahouDun''s surrender?"


    Jia Xu said: "king of Chu, I think that XiahouDun is a false surrender. XiahouDun was a man of rebellious and defiant character. His only respect is Cao Cao. Even if he was defeated by the king of Chu, the character of Xia Houdun was rather stubborn. I am afraid, therefore, that there is something else in the surrender of harhoudun. "


    Pang Tong nodded and said, "I agree with that. XiahouDun was just fierce. Such a person was not easy to be compared with. So I don''t think it''s possible for him to surrender. "


    Liu xiudao: "Wei Yan, what do you think?"


    Wei Yan thought about it, recalled the attitude of XiahouDun all the way, and said: "Your Highness, the last general also thinks that XiahouDun''s surrender is somewhat strange. On the one hand, XiahouDun will make a forced landing at the end of the day; on the other hand, XiahouDun may have plans. But the Admiral thought it was time to make a plan and see what the intention was


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Wei Yan''s analysis is not bad. No matter what thoughts or plans harhoughton had. But now, we can just follow the plan. Even if there is any ghost plot by XiahouDun, it will not affect the overall situation. "


    When they heard the words, they all nodded their heads.


    At present, the implementation of the plan has begun and it is impossible to reverse it.


    Under such circumstances, even if XiahouDun had any influence in the local area, it would not damage Liu Xiu''s overall situation. Therefore, even if Liu Xiu followed the plan of XiahouDun for the time being, it would have little influence.


    Liu Xiu discussed with the people about the decisive battle with Cao Cao tomorrow, and arranged for them to step down.


    Everything, just wait for tomorrow.


    The decisive battle between Liu Xiu and Cao Cao in Nanyang County is coming.

 Chapter 645

    A day is fleeting.


    On this day, the battle drums of the Chu army were beating and rumbling in the sky.


    "Woo! Woo


    The long and deep sound of the horn reverberates ceaselessly.


    At this moment, the soldiers in the Chu army camp took action.


    This time, it was Liu Xiu''s army.


    Liu Xiu led the army in person, accompanied by Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others, including Xia Houdun and all the captured Cao soldiers, all set out together, set out to attack Cao Cao''s camp.


    The army came outside Cao''s barracks, and the war drums reverberated all over the world.


    After a short time, Cao Cao came to the gate of the camp.


    Behind Cao Cao, Xu Chu, Dian man, Chen Qun and Cheng Yu all stood.


    Cao Cao''s eyes fell on Liu Xiu''s body, and he kept looking around, trying to find out the trace of Xia Houdun. But Cao Cao was disappointed. He looked around, but he never found XiahouDun.


    Seeing this, Cao Cao''s face was smiling again.


    The best result is not to see XiahouDun.


    However, Cao Cao also worried that XiahouDun would be killed.


    In a word, Cao Cao''s mood is quite complicated.


    These days, for Cao Cao, it''s just like living a long life. His whole life is getting old, especially his headache, which is more and more serious. As a result, he can''t rest at night at all. He has to wait until the most tired time to squint for a while.


    Now, it''s time to find out.


    Liu Xiushen wears his armor and raises his hand.


    In an instant, the sound of war drums disappeared and the sound of trumpets stopped. All of a sudden, the world seems to be quiet, there is no sound.


    Whether it was Cao Jun''s camp or Liu Xiu''s camp, it was quiet.


    Liu xiulang said: "brother Meng De, we meet again. I haven''t seen you for just a few days. How do you feel like you''re old in your teens, and you''re already old? "


    Cao Cao cheered up, narrowed his narrow eyes and said coldly, "Liu Xiu, I''m in good health. Hum, if you want to fight today, I will accompany you to the end. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "the king of Wei is so bold!"


    I''ll see you again today. Seeing what Cao Cao looks like, he knows the role of the news three days ago.


    These three days, Cao Cao is absolutely like a year, has been suffering. If we see XiahouDun again today, we will surely give Cao Cao a fatal blow and make him lose his support completely.


    Liu Xiu said, "brother Meng De, I heard that you have been suffering from headache. In fact, the Xiangyang hospital under Wang''s command has gathered the most famous doctors in the world, such as Zhang Zhongjing, who are the most outstanding doctors. Their level is quite good. As long as brother Meng De is willing, he can go to Xiangyang with us at any time to solve your headache. "


    In the words, the mystery is hidden.


    Let Cao Cao go to Xiangyang, it is no different that Cao Cao completely lost to Liu Xiu and became Liu Xiu''s prisoner.


    Cao Cao laughed and said, "don''t worry, the king of Chu will go. When we defeat your army, we will go south to Xiangyang and let Zhang Zhongjing cure our headache thoroughly. "


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Liu Xiu burst out laughing and said, "it seems that the headache of the king of Wei is really serious."


    Cao Cao''s eyes narrowed, showing a trace of surprise.


    At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly understood.


    There is something else in Liu Xiu''s words. Although Liu Xiu ostensibly invited Cao Cao, his actual purpose was to attack Cao Cao, saying that he would take Cao Cao as a prisoner and escort him to Xiangyang.


    Cao Cao understood this meaning.


    But Cao Cao did not expect that Liu Xiu was actually testing his headache.


    With this, I try to find out that his headache is very serious.


    Cao Cao sneered and said, "even if it''s serious, I can still fight. Liu Xiu, this battle will be a decisive battle between you and me. In this battle, you will surely lose. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "brother Meng De, I''m afraid you are too confident."


    Cao Cao said: "this king is self-confidence."


    Liu Xiu said: "since brother Meng De is so confident, I can''t help it. Next, it''s Wang''s card. Come on, bring up harhoughton


    As the words fell, a soldier came up with XiahouDun.


    There was a solemn look on his face at the moment.


    When he saw Cao Cao again, there was a look of shame in XiahouDun''s eyes. He lost, buried Cao Cao''s army, but also buried Cao Cao''s good situation, leading to Cao Cao in trouble.


    It''s all his fault.


    However, he could not bear to see Cao Cao again.


    So here comes XiahouDun.


    When Cao Cao saw XiahouDun, he raised his eyebrows, and his face looked startled, and his heart jerked.


    Lost!


    This time it''s a real failure!Xia Houdun was captured alive. What about Cao Ren?


    Cao Cao looked around, looking for the trace of Cao Ren.


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "is brother Meng de looking for Cao Ren? Alas, it''s a pity. Cao Cao has a strong character and would rather die than surrender. Therefore, Cao Ren has become a skeleton in the grave. Now there is only charhoughton left


    Brush!


    Cao Cao''s face became very pale.


    Cao Ren is dead!


    His brother actually died.


    Cao Cao clenched his fist, opened his eyes and breathed very quickly. His forehead was blue and his face was even more angry.


    Suddenly, Cao Cao''s head was in pain.


    Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, I will surely avenge Cao Ren."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "brother Meng De, if you want revenge. Well, I''m afraid you have to kill your brother yourself. XiahouDun has been subordinated to the king, and he is already one of the king''s people. Do you want to avenge Cao Ren by killing XiahouDun again? "


    Referring to XiahouDun, XiahouDun looked at Cao Cao with regret in his eyes.


    Cao Cao''s eyes fell on XiahouDun, rather disbelieving.


    XiahouDun surrendered!


    No, Cao Cao doesn''t believe it.


    Cao Cao looked at XiahouDun and said in a loud voice, "yuanrang, you are still alive, that''s good."


    In a word, how much sadness is implied.


    In a word, how much care is implied!


    In a word, it implies countless brotherhood.


    XiahouDun was a cold man, strong and rebellious, and always had tears. But at this moment, when I heard Cao Cao''s words, tears in my eyes flowed down.


    "Lord!"


    XiahouDun fell to his knees.


    With sad words, XiahouDun looked up at Cao Cao, with a look in his eyes.


    Don''t give up, brother!


    Xia Houdun was reluctant to give up Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao''s expression gradually calmed down. He took a deep breath. As long as XiahouDun was still alive, even if XiahouDun was obedient to Liu Xiu, he had no unnecessary condemnation.


    Cao Cao said in a loud voice: "Yuan rang, I still said that. If only you were alive


    Shaking his head, he knelt down and said, "my Lord, I will live to see you again. It''s enough to see my Lord today. "


    "Though I die, I have no regrets!"


    "Lord, the last general is incompetent and has lost so many soldiers."


    "In this life, Mo Jiang can no longer be loyal to the Lord. I only hope that in the next life, he will be able to fight for the Lord and be his brother again."


    All of a sudden, XiahouDun raised his hand, pulled out the hairpin he was going to put in his bun, and roared: "Lord, revenge!"


    The voice fell, and Houghton made a sudden effort.


    With a puff, the iron hairpin was inserted in the temple of XiahouDun.


    XiahouDun widened his eyes and said again, "revenge, revenge..."


    The voice is high, then low.


    Immediately, XiahouDun''s head dropped and his body fell to the ground.


    Back and forth, it''s just a blink of an eye.


    Liu Xiu saw Xia Houdun commit suicide, but he didn''t stop him. The death of Xia Houdun, to some extent, can definitely stimulate Cao Cao, which is the opportunity for Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao suddenly widened his eyes when he saw XiahouDun commit suicide.


    In the mind, unexpectedly is a blank!


    At this moment, Cao Cao finally understood.


    It was not a real surrender, but a false surrender, and he wanted to see him again. Cao Cao''s eyes widened and he stared at XiahouDun''s body, which fell on the ground. His head was buzzing. He had a splitting headache, and his head seemed to be splitting.


    "Liu Xiu, you have to die!"


    Cao Cao roared, but his anger surged up.


    The Qi and blood surged up. Cao Cao rolled his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then he fell to the ground.


    After being stimulated, Cao Cao went into a coma.

 Chapter 646

    "Ha ha ha..."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "brother Meng De, how can you be so unbearable?"


    For Cao Cao such an opponent, Liu Xiu the slightest bit of guilt. Cao Cao is the enemy of his life. If he doesn''t win Cao Cao, it is impossible to pacify the world.


    Now that Xia Houdun committed suicide and Cao Cao suffered heavy losses, Liu Xiu is naturally happy.


    However, Liu Xiu did not expect that Xia Houdun was so strong.


    He pretends to surrender and then commits suicide in front of Cao Cao. It''s really terrible.


    However, although Xia Houdun committed suicide and disrupted Liu Xiu''s plan, the disruption was developing in a good direction, not a bad one.


    On the whole, things are still good for Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Cheng Yu, Xun you and others. At this moment, these people were in a mess and completely flustered.


    This scene is Liu Xiu''s hope.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and roared: "beat the drum!"


    "Dong! Dong


    The soldier, who had been preparing for a long time, got the order and immediately swung the drumstick and beat it on the drum.


    Drums rumble, roll in and reverberate in the sky.


    It''s a frightening voice.


    It''s even the idea of escape.


    Because of Gai, Cao Cao fainted.


    In a war, the elite level of the soldiers can account for four points of the winning area, while the commander can at least occupy more than 60% of the winning chance. Large scale operations depend entirely on the chief General. Once the chief General goes wrong, the army is bound to be in chaos.


    At this time, the battlefield is not as sound as later generations.


    One will die, and another will take over immediately.


    Go down one level at a time, until you fight to the end, until you fight to the last person.


    In this era, when the manager has problems, the army will even collapse.


    Cao Cao''s fainting led to chaos in Cao''s army, and Liu Xiu was already beating the drum to fight, so Cao''s soldiers were in a panic. If Cao Cao is dead, what''s the point of their fighting?


    "Kill


    Liu Xiu gave the order directly, with an expectant look in his eyes.


    This battle has finally come.


    "Kill, kill Cao Cao."


    "Brothers, it''s time to make contributions. Kill!"


    "Capture Cao Cao alive and kill him!"


    ¡­¡­


    One voice after another reverberates on the battlefield.


    The soldiers of Chu army were like wolves and tigers one by one. They constantly charged against Cao army. They all saw Cao Cao fall with their own eyes. At this time, killing the past is equal to making contributions. No one is willing to do such a good thing. Therefore, one by one soldiers howled, morale is extremely high.


    On the battlefield, there were soldiers all over the place.


    For a time, smoke and dust everywhere.


    Chu''s army was fierce, but Cao''s army had already panicked.


    Xun you had a worried look in his eyes and said in a loud voice, "Li Dian, listen to the order!"


    "Yes


    Li Dian answered with a clasp.


    Under the command of Cao Cao, Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Yu Jin and others are all powerful generals of Cao Cao. Everyone can be a general of one side.


    Now that Cao Cao fainted, Xun you, as a military strategist, gave a direct order.


    Xun you said: "you Mashan organized the army to resist, ordered the army to do its best to resist, and delayed Liu Xiu''s attack."


    "No!"


    Li Dian nodded, with a solemn expression on his face.


    At this time of crisis, there is no hesitation. Moreover, the death of Cao Ren and Xia Houdun gave Li Dian an opportunity, so he immediately went to mobilize the soldiers to stabilize the formation and start the counter offensive. Li Dian also had a lot of prestige in the army. He directly killed the soldiers who intended to retreat, and then quickly issued orders.


    After all, Cao Jun was an elite. In a very short time, he began to resist.


    Xun you looked in his eyes and was relieved.


    As long as Li Dian can stabilize the situation, the situation of this war will not collapse for the time being.


    Xun you continued: "Xu Chu, listen to the order!"


    "I''m in a humble position!"


    Xu Chu stood up and saluted.


    Xun you said: "you lead the tiger and leopard to ride, and immediately escort the king of Wei back to Xinye county. The rest, under the protection of Li Dian, also slowly retreated and all retreated into Xinye city. "


    "No!"


    Xu Chu knew that the current situation was critical, and immediately began to take action.


    The tiger and leopard rode under the mobilization of Xu Chu, gathered quickly, and then escorted Cao Cao to retreat.


    The retreat of tiger and leopard riding and Cao Cao''s retreat made Cao Cao''s soldiers in great disorder. Even though Li Dian was still in charge of the army, and even though Li Dian was still ordering the soldiers to resist, the morale of Cao''s soldiers had been floating, and it was difficult for them to exert their fighting capacity.


    In his eyes, Li Dian was helpless.


    After all, Cao Cao fainted on the spot and left under the escort of tiger and leopard riding.Li Dian can only do his best to preserve the current situation.


    "Kill, stop the Chu army for me."


    "Sons, it''s time to prove you."


    "It''s time for you to serve the king of Wei."


    Li Dian roared with intense tension in his eyes.


    Under the support of Li Dian, Cao''s soldiers were still resisting.


    However, after all, there are more and more casualties.


    In particular, the soldiers under Liu Xiu''s command attacked like a rainbow. Wave after wave of attacks attacked Cao''s soldiers'' defense line. Liu Xiu''s army is full of momentum, while Cao''s army has no momentum at all. Even though these soldiers are still resisting, they are still fighting to resist.


    "Ah, I can''t stop it. I surrender."


    Suddenly, one of Cao''s soldiers threw away his weapon and surrendered.


    This move opened the prelude of Cao''s surrender.


    "I''m willing to surrender. Don''t kill me."


    "I''ll surrender, too. I won''t resist any more. I just want to live."


    "We are innocent. We are just acting on orders. Don''t kill me, don''t kill me. I have an 80 year old mother and an orphan and widowed mother. I can''t die. "


    ¡­¡­


    One after another of the cry, constantly echoing.


    In the eyes of Cao''s soldiers, there was a light of longing.


    They don''t want to die, they want to live.


    Once the momentum of surrender has been opened, it will be difficult to stop it.


    When Li Dian saw this scene, he saw that tiger and leopard riding had escorted Cheng Yu, Xun you and others to leave the camp and went straight to Xinye city. He no longer insisted, and ordered: "withdraw, retreat!"


    After the order was issued, the sound of gongs was echoing.


    One by one Cao soldiers, under the leadership of Li Dian, constantly quarrel with Xinye city.


    Defeat like a mountain!


    At this time, Cao Cao''s tens of thousands of troops, no longer a trace of combat effectiveness.


    Surrender!


    Run away!


    This is the main theme of Cao Jun.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were bright. He looked at the scene on the battlefield with an expectant look on his face. The defeat of Cao Cao''s army in this war has laid the foundation for Cao Cao''s defeat. It is impossible for Cao Cao to turn the situation around again.


    On the battlefield, Wei Yan, Deng yuan and others are constantly pursuing and killing.


    Wei Yan''s goal was always Cao Jun''s commander. He caught up with Li Dian.


    Seeing Li Dian, Wei Yan knew that the opportunity had come.


    Kill each other, he can make a contribution again.


    It''s just that the two sides are separated by about 20 steps, and there are soldiers shuttling back and forth in the middle. It''s very difficult to catch up with each other immediately, and it''s not an easy thing.


    "Kill


    Wei Yan roared. He put the knife on the horse''s back.


    Then, as the horse continued to run forward, he took out his long bow.


    With a bow in hand, Wei Yan took out a bow and arrow from the arrow pot like a flowing stream. He bent the bow and took the arrow. While running forward, he was waiting for the opportunity.


    Wei Yan is catching up, and the distance between the two sides is getting closer.


    In fact, the distance between the two sides has always been within the range of Wei Yan''s bow and arrow.


    However, some soldiers were running, which made him unable to shoot.


    Suddenly, Wei Yan''s eyes brightened.


    Suddenly there were no soldiers between him and Li Dian, and the empty door on Li Dian''s back opened.


    Here''s the chance!


    Without any hesitation, Wei Yan suddenly pulled the long bow in his hand and tightened the bowstring. Then he heard a buzzing vibration of the bowstring.


    "Whew!"


    Sharp bow and arrow, through the air.


    In the twinkling of an eye, the bow and arrow came to Li Dian''s back.


    Li Dian is retreating. While retreating, he has to pay attention to the situation of Cao''s soldiers. When Li Dian was retreating, he suddenly felt danger coming from his back. Without hesitation, he swung a long knife and cut it behind him.


    However, Li Dian is still a step slow.


    "Puchi!"


    The bow and arrow hit Li Dian''s vest.


    Under the impact of powerful force, it tore Li Dian''s skin and pierced into his heart.


    With an arrow through his heart, Li Dian did not even make a sound, but fell to the ground.


    "Ha ha ha, good, good!"


    Wei Yan couldn''t help but be overjoyed. He quickly drove his horse forward, and then the long knife in his hand crossed the ground. In a flash, Li Dian''s body was separated, and Wei Yan directly grabbed Li Dian''s head and tied it to the horse''s back, and then continued to pursue and kill with the soldiers.


    "Kill, kill!"


    At this time, Wei Yan, like a killing God, constantly led the army to cover up.


    The constant fighting of the army led to the constant rout of Cao''s soldiers.


    Defeat like a mountain!


    At the moment, Cao''s soldiers, who had lost Li Dian, were even more vulnerable. One by one, they fled everywhere and kept surrendering. As a result, generals such as Wei Yan and Deng yuan led the army to approach Xinye city.

 Chapter 647

    A large army was at the foot of the city and trapped Xinye city.


    What''s more, the besieged are not surrounded by three, but surrounded by four.


    Liu Xiu, Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others came to the city. Liu Xiu looked at the solid Xinye city with a smile on his lips. Xinye City, under the leadership of Cao Ren, has been restored for several times, and the city wall is not built with rammed earth, but with big Bluestone. It is a real strong city.


    If it is rammed earth City, as long as the catapult and crossbow fire, enough to destroy the wall.


    However, the lapis lazuli is hard, and the catapult and crossbow have little effect.


    Wei Yan came to Liu Xiu and said: "Your Highness, we are surrounded by all sides, which completely blocked Cao Cao''s retreat. In this way, won''t it strengthen the other party''s mind of resistance and fail to disintegrate the other party''s morale? "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "the killing of Cao Ren, the suicide of Xia Houdun, and even the fainting of Cao Cao have all hit Cao Jun''s confidence. Today''s Cao army has long been swaying. Under such circumstances, it doesn''t matter whether one is short of three. And the most important thing is that we have surrounded xinyecheng, and we have a most important purpose


    "What''s the purpose?"


    Wei Yan''s eyes showed a trace of incomprehension.


    "Surround and help!"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes twinkled with light, and he spoke loudly.


    Help around!


    Besiege Cao Cao, and then use Cao Cao to attract reinforcements, continue to rob and kill Cao who came to support.


    This is the next plan Liu Xiu discussed with Jia Xu and Pang Tong.


    After hearing this, Wei Yan said: "Your Highness is wise!"


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "go and make arrangements for the soldiers to guard all sides. Then, properly solve the captured Cao soldiers. These soldiers of the Cao army are all our chess pieces. They can attack Cao Cao favorably. "


    "The end will understand!"


    Wei Yan should be boxing, then turned down to arrange.


    "Deng Zhan!"


    Liu xiuphene said.


    Deng Zhan came to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Highness!"


    Liu Xiu said: "immediately spread the news that Cao Ren and Xia Houdun were killed, Cao Cao fainted, and Cao''s army was defeated and trapped. The battlefields of Jiangdong, Northern Wei and Chang''an must be known. "


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan had a smile on his face and looked forward to it.


    Now Liu Xiu has taken the initiative and is about to dominate the world.


    Deng Zhan was very excited to follow Liu Xiu.


    After Deng Zhan left, Liu Xiu made another inspection tour, and then took Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others back to the camp.


    Inside the city, the prefect''s residence.


    Cao Cao was lying on his bed with a haggard face. Under the doctor''s treatment, Cao Cao has recovered, but his headache is more serious. As a result, Cao Cao is lying on the bed with a splitting headache.


    Xun you, Cheng Yu, man Chong and others stood beside the bed, their faces full of worry.


    Cao Cao suppressed the pain and asked in a hoarse voice, "what''s the situation of the war?"


    Xun you said helplessly: "king of Wei, most of our troops lost in this battle, and the soldiers who escaped were lax. Today, only the tiger and leopard riders under Xu Chu''s command have combat power. Besides, Li Dian died when he resisted the attack of Liu Xiu''s army. "


    "Ah


    Cao Cao exclaimed in surprise, opened his eyes and clenched his fist.


    The eyes are full of pain.


    Li Dian is also a valiant general under his command. He is an invincible general on the battlefield. But Cao Cao never thought that after the death of Cao Ren and Xia Houdun, Li Dian also died.


    "Ah, ah..."


    Cao Cao''s head, pain to burst general.


    He tugged at the sheet with both hands, and the beaded sweat on his forehead penetrated out constantly.


    Cao Cao''s heart is full of anger and anxiety.


    Cao Cao never tried to lose three generals in a row.


    Xun you was startled and quickly let the doctor in, but after the doctor''s diagnosis and treatment, he was helpless. There was no solution, so he could only watch helplessly.


    Cheng Yu, man Chong and others all look worried.


    After a long time, Cao Cao recovered a lot.


    He struggled to do it, his back against the wall, his breath was a little short, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was tired. Headache is his old problem, which greatly affects his health.


    Cao Cao said, "what''s the war like now?"


    Xun you continued: "report back to the king of Wei, Liu Xiu surrounded Xinye city on all sides."


    "All around?"


    Cao Cao''s eyes narrowed and his face looked puzzled.


    Immediately, Cao Cao said, "what do you think Liu Xiu''s intention of encircling Xinye city is?"


    Xun you said: "after discussion, we all agreed that Liu Xiu was going to adopt the strategy of encircling and supporting. Liu Xiu will certainly release the news first and shake our rear area. Then, when our reinforcements come to the rescue, they will continue to block the rescue team. "Cao Cao said with emotion: "Liu Xiu is cunning!"


    For Liu Xiu, Cao Cao''s heart, suddenly rose to make the sense of powerlessness.


    This battle is too weak.


    Cao Cao''s brow was wrinkled again, and his headache was like a tidal wave, which made him extremely uncomfortable.


    But now, Cao Cao can only bear it.


    Cao Cao asked, "do you think there are any strategies to crack it now?"


    "Hard!"


    Xun you shook his head and said: "after discussion, we all agreed that the most appropriate way now is to escort the king of Wei away from Xinye by tiger and leopard, so as to ensure the safety of the king of Wei. As for the defeat of this war, there is no way out. "


    Escape?


    Cao Cao was thinking, and his eyes were even more unwilling.


    Cao Cao fought against Liu Xiu this time. He was confident that the state of Wei had recuperated for two years and was powerful. He wanted to work hard to solve Liu Xiu''s influence in Jingzhou. He even beat Liu Xiu back to Yizhou and killed him. But unexpectedly, instead, he was in prison and completely surrounded by Liu Xiu.


    Cao Cao shook his head and said, "if we can''t withdraw, we will be heavily encircled and blocked by Liu Xiu. Whether we can escape or not is another matter. Now we have to find another way


    Xun you said, "what will the king of Wei do?"


    Cheng Yu worried that Cao Cao would go to extremes and said, "king of Wei, you have to leave green hills here. You don''t have to worry about firewood mountains. As long as you escape this time, you are sitting in the northern states and powerful. You can pull up a team to fight against Liu Xiu again. Therefore, the king of Wei did not have to abandon himself. "


    Cao Cao laughed and said, "don''t worry, I won''t abandon myself. But now, I''m not willing to fail, so I can''t run away


    After a pause, Cao Cao asked, "Duke Zhong De, does Sun Quan have any action?"


    Cheng Yu said: "Sun Quan promised to send troops, but so far, there is no news about Sun Quan. At present, Sun Quan is still on the sidelines. "


    "Well, Sun Quan always wants to fish in troubled waters."


    Cao Cao''s eyes showed a look of disdain.


    Cao Cao''s extreme intention is to despise sun Shuiquan. If Sun Quan can unite with him to attack Liu Xiu, at least Liu Xiu will not be so arrogant.


    Now that Liu Xiu has won such a victory, Sun Quan is also under great pressure.


    Even Sun Quan did not dare to move.


    Cao Cao looked at the crowd and said, "it''s not the style of the king to lead the troops to retreat and break through the encirclement. After you go down, those who should manage the army well should manage the army well, those who should stabilize the morale and public opinion of the army should stabilize the morale and public opinion of the army, and then all of you should think about it and come up with solutions. In this war, we must never forget it. "


    "No!"


    The crowd replied with a solemn expression on their faces.


    Every face had worried look. At this point, it was not easy to fight Liu Xiu again.


    Cheng Yu''s eyes narrowed, and her eyes showed a look of thinking.


    As an old minister of Cao Cao, Cheng Yu has a very high position, but when he thinks of what he wants to say, he can''t make up his mind for a moment, and he doesn''t know what to do.


    After thinking about it, Cheng Yu took a deep breath and decided to say it.


    Cheng Yu said: "the king of Wei, there is a word in his humble position. I don''t know when to say it."


    Cao Cao gave a miserable smile and said, "what''s the taboo when I''m here? If you have anything to say, just say it directly, and don''t have taboos. "


    Hearing the speech, Cheng Yu nodded heavily.


    Immediately, Cheng Yu stepped back two steps, and then knelt down with his robe.


    People look at Cheng Yu, and they don''t understand.


    Cao Cao was also startled and said, "what are you doing, Mr. Zhongde? That''s why. "


    Cheng Yu said: "the matter that the old minister said is of great importance. It''s even more rebellious, so he pleaded guilty in advance." After a pause, Cheng Yu said: "the king of Wei is now in prison, and he is not willing to break through and return to Yecheng. Then, I suggest that the king of Wei be invited to appoint his son, and then let a team of tigers and leopards ride back to Yecheng to determine the position of their successors, so as to ensure that the state of Wei is safe. "


    Brush!


    When they heard the speech, their faces became more cautious.


    What Cheng Yu mentioned is indeed a major event. At this time, it should be put on the agenda. Otherwise, once Cao Cao had an accident, the state of Wei would be in chaos if there was no heir to the throne.

 Chapter 648

    Cheng Yu''s words immediately attracted people''s attention.


    It never occurred to anyone that what Cheng Yu mentioned was to let Cao Cao establish his son.


    To a certain extent, this is a treacherous saying, which means that Cao Cao is likely to be unable to survive. It''s not only the current war situation, but also the physical condition of Cao Cao.


    Cheng Yu said: "for the sake of our country, although I have the courage, I have to mention it. Please make a decision as soon as possible."


    Cao Cao began to laugh with a bright smile.


    "Mr. Zhong De, why is that? Is my king such a king without Tao? I know who you are and that you are preparing for the long-term plan of the state of Wei. Your proposal is very valuable. "


    Cao Cao is not a mediocre person. Without thinking, he can understand the advantages of Cheng Yu''s proposal.


    To establish a noble son and stabilize the morale of the army and the people.


    Even if Cao Cao had an accident on the front line, Shizi had already set up a book, so all this was not a problem.


    Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "now it''s the most critical time, and it''s time to decide the position of son of the world. Originally, I hesitated about the choice of my son. Pi''er is mature and prudent, zhi''er is brilliant and zhang''er is brave. The general candidates are selected from the three of them. Now that this matter is mentioned, let''s all say, "who is the most suitable candidate?"


    When this was said, no one spoke.


    The issue of successors is a rather sensitive one.


    Cao Cao coughed twice and said, "when you come to the present situation of our king, you don''t have to worry about what you have to say."


    After a pause, Cao Cao said, "Xu Chu!"


    "Yes


    Xu Chu could not help shivering. The king of Wei would not let him be the first to say that, would he? He is just a rude man.


    Cao Cao said, "go and invite Cao Hong, Zhang Liao, Yu Jin and other military generals."


    "No!"


    Xu Chu breathed a long sigh of relief, and a trace of relief appeared on his face.


    Fortunately, it wasn''t for him to say.


    Xu Chu turned to leave, time compensation, everyone came to the tent.


    Cao Cao''s eyes swept the crowd and said in a loud voice: "you all know the current situation. Not only is the war situation unfavorable, but also Wang''s health is going from bad to worse. Ben Wang''s headache is an old problem. I don''t know how long it will last. So today, we are in Xinye to decide the position of the son of the world. You can speak freely without any hesitation. Just say the most suitable person


    Cao Cao''s eyes fell on everyone.


    However, no one was the first to speak.


    Cao Cao still looked at Cheng Yu and said, "Mr. Zhong De, you put forward the matter. Why don''t you come up with a suitable person. Then, how about we discuss it? "


    Cheng Yu looked respectful and said, "I will obey the king''s arrangement!"


    Cao Cao said: "don''t use these empty words, I need the most real answer. Who do you think is more suitable? "


    Cheng Yu was silent for a long time, and said, "king, I think young master Pi is the most suitable."


    "Pi''er?"


    Cao Cao stares at Cheng Yu and asks, "why?"


    Cheng Yu regained his calm and said: "first, Mr Pi is the eldest son of Mrs Bian. It is most appropriate for him to be the eldest son of Mrs Bian. Second, Mr Pi is a mature and prudent man, and he is quite magnanimous. As a son of the world, young master PI will not be greedy and rash, and can keep the foundation of the king. "


    After two consecutive reasons, Cheng Yu said, "these are my reasons. Please check them out."


    Cao Cao nodded and said, "there is a certain truth!"


    However, Cao Cao did not publish any conclusion, and asked: "what do you think?"


    "Your Majesty, I think it''s more appropriate to plant childe."


    All of a sudden, Yang Xiu, Cao Cao''s master, came forward and put forward his views.


    This proposal brightened Cao Cao''s eyes.


    Among the many sons under Cao Cao''s knees, Cao Cao most appreciated and thought that the one who could inherit his foundation was Cao ang who had already died. Whether it is appearance, or ability, or character, Cao Cao is the most admired people.


    Unfortunately, Cao ang died in order to save him.


    As a result, Cao Cao was heartbroken and regretted that he didn''t control his lower body after he surrendered Zhang Xiu, so that Cao ang and Dian Wei died in Nanyang County.


    After Cao ang, Cao Cao''s favorite is Cao Chong.


    Cao Chong''s cleverness is his favorite.


    Whether it is Cao Chong''s intelligence, or Cao Chong''s maturity, all make Cao Cao happy. For a time, Cao Cao had regarded Cao Chong as his future successor, but Cao Chong died early, which made Cao Cao very sad.


    After Cao Chong, it was Cao Zhi.


    Cao Zhi''s talent is quite outstanding, quite Cao Cao''s style.


    In terms of literary talent, Cao Zhi is as good as Cao Cao.


    On the contrary, Cao Pi was very stable in all aspects, and there was nothing particularly brilliant. If you say literary talent, Cao Pi also has literary talent, but not as outstanding as Cao Zhi. If you say martial arts, Cao Pi''s martial arts are also quite exquisite, but it can''t reach the momentum of fighting with his life when a general goes to battle to kill the enemy. If you say administrative ability, it''s not badIn a word, Cao Pi is good in all aspects and relatively balanced.


    As for Cao Zhang, he was impulsive and brave. Although Cao Cao loved him very much, he liked battlefield and martial arts too much and ignored government affairs. Therefore, Cao Cao ignored Cao Zhang and thought that Cao Zhang was not the most suitable person.


    Generally speaking, however, Cao Cao''s selfishness is biased towards Cao Zhi.


    This kid is like him the most.


    Whether in this era or later generations, in many cases, the monarch chooses the successor, who is most similar to himself. For example, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed his eldest son Liu Ju as the crown prince, he always thought that Liu Ju was not like himself and lacked masculine and enterprising momentum. Another example is Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Although he appointed his eldest son, Li Chengqian, as the prince, he also thought that Li Chengqian was not like himself.


    Most monarchs in the past took themselves as the template and then chose their children.


    Therefore, Cao Zhi is Cao Cao''s candidate.


    Yang Xiu''s words, just in line with the mind of Cao Cao, he also has the heart to set Cao Zhi as the son of the world.


    When Yang Xiu spoke, some officials in the camp echoed.


    These people are civil servants in the army and have a good relationship with Cao Zhi, so they support Cao Zhi. Led by Yang Xiu, they all expressed their feelings.


    Cao Cao nodded slightly, looked at Xun you and said, "Gongda, what do you think?"


    Under the command of Cao Cao, Xun you, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu and others are the core.


    Most importantly, Cao Cao had to consult these people.


    Xun you said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I will obey your arrangement. I don''t care who you appoint as your son. "


    Cao Cao laughed and said, "no, you have to choose one!"


    Xun you had a embarrassed expression on his face and said, "Your Majesty, it''s embarrassing your humble position."


    Cao Cao said, "even if it''s difficult, you have to say it."


    After hearing this, Xun you was silent and said, "if the king really wants to choose a young master as his son, then the young master also agrees with Zhong De''s choice, and CE Li Pi is the most suitable one."


    Xun you also knew a few young masters.


    Among all the princes, Xun you thought that Cao Pi was the most suitable, whether in government affairs or in ability.


    To preside over a country''s government affairs is not to rely on literary talent, nor is it to rely on romantic charm to succeed. Therefore, Xun you did not tend to Cao Zhi, but recognized Cao Pi.


    After hearing this, Cao Cao frowned slightly and his face was a little more dignified.


    Both Cheng Yu and Xun you agreed that it was Cao Pi.


    As soon as he thought that this proposal was different from his own, he felt a great headache. The pain of the original suppression was even more like the tide. Wave by wave, it made his head ache.


    Cao Cao clenched his teeth and said, "where are the others?"


    When they heard the words, they did not speak.


    Suddenly, man Chong stands up. Man Chong, under the command of Cao Cao, has always been a man of courage and courage. He held his head high and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I think you are suitable for Mr. PI. It''s not romantic to preside over the government. It''s not something that can be achieved by calling friends. Young master Pi is the most suitable person to be mature and prudent. "


    When Yang Xiu heard this, he was not happy and said, "man boning, what do you mean?"


    Man Chong said, "what do I mean? I mean, Mr Pi is the most suitable person. "


    Yang Xiu snorted and said in a deep voice: "if Mr. PI can preside over government affairs, can''t Mr. Zhi? Mr. Zhi is talented and intelligent, but he seldom deals with government affairs. If Mr. Zhi inherits his son, he can also do things well. "


    Man Chong snorted: "but, Mr. Zhi is more frivolous, which is the fatal weakness."


    Yang xiudao: "you don''t understand, why say to plant childe frivolous?"


    At this time, the two people argued.


    All the people were happy to watch, but no one dissuaded them. Only Yang Xiu''s side gradually joined in. And Cheng Yu and other people who supported Cao Pi also participated.


    For a moment, the camp seemed to be in a busy market, and the competition was very enjoyable.


    Both sides hold their own views and do not give in to each other.


    Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "enough!"


    As soon as Cao Cao spoke, all the people calmed down and stopped talking. One by one, they look at Cao Cao and wait for his decision. In the final analysis, Cao Cao has to decide who is the son of the world, and the final decision is in Cao Cao''s hands.

 Chapter 649

    Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "about the son of the world, you fight to fight, but there is no final conclusion. Well, this is a place to discuss things, not a place to abuse women. "


    "King, I have something to say."


    Suddenly, a young man came out.


    This man is a long history of Cao Cao. He was born with an extraordinary bearing.


    Eyes open and close, it''s frightening.


    This man is Sima Yi. As a long history of Cao Cao, he also went out with Cao Cao.


    According to Sima Yi''s temperament, he is not willing to intervene in such a fight, but now it comes to Cao Pi. If it is not settled now, the son of the world will probably fall on Cao Zhi, so Sima Yi can only take the initiative to speak.


    Cao Cao stared at Sima Yi and said, "what does Zhong Da have to say?"


    For Sima Yi, Cao Cao both appreciated and feared.


    As a master of Sima Yi, he really appreciated his talent. However, when he invited Sima Yi to become an official, Sima Yi tried every means to shirk responsibility and refused to become an official.


    Finally, Cao Cao forced Sima Yi to become an official.


    Such a thing naturally made Cao Cao think that Sima Yi was a proud man.


    So Sima Yi under his command, Cao Cao all kinds of polishing, hoping to erase Sima Yi''s pride.


    Sima Yi replied: "king, as for the choice of the son of the world, I think that the prince Pi is the most suitable one."


    "Why?"


    Cao Cao listened to Sima Yi and asked directly.


    Cao Cao also wanted to hear what Sima Yi said. How did Sima Yi think about it.


    Sima Yi replied: "the reason why I chose Mr. Pi is that he is mature in politics, not impulsive, not frivolous, not self righteous, not to mention taking things for granted. After the cruelty of reality, young master PI knew how to bend and stretch. At the same time, he was able to unite his courtiers, which was his advantage. "


    "On the contrary, Mr. Zhi has one of his biggest shortcomings."


    "It is undeniable that Mr. Zhi is very much like the king, and his literary talent can be said to keep pace with the king. But one of the greatest shortcomings of the literati is that they think highly of themselves. "


    Sima Yi said with great eloquence: "the king is a decisive scholar because of his background and experience, but he has no habit in this respect. But Mr. Zhi is different. He has never experienced the suffering of the king. Many things are natural, and he is more impulsive. "


    "Such a person is politically immature."


    "If there is no such opponent as Liu Xiu, it doesn''t hurt to let the young master Zhi be the son of the world. He can adapt to the training slowly."


    "But our enemy is Liu Xiu."


    "Liu Xiu is extremely cunning, insidious and calculating. Such a person, every word and deed can be a trap. If it''s Mr. Zhi against Liu Xiu, I don''t think there''s any chance of winning. "


    Sima Yi said: "therefore, Xiaochen thinks that young master Pi is the most suitable candidate."


    Sima Yi''s words seem to be flattering.


    In fact, to sum up, there is nothing more than Cao Pi''s ability to bend and stretch. He is a thick skinned man who will not be provoked.


    Such a person is the most suitable one.


    Cao Sicao immediately decided that he was a smart man. Cao Cao''s eyes were full of thinking and approval.


    Cao Cao has a clear understanding of himself.


    Cao Cao himself is a man with a thick face and a black heart. He is decisive and flexible.


    Cao Pi had a deep personality, and he was also a rather rogue and shameless man. On the contrary, it is Cao Zhi, who is open and aboveboard and can see to the end at a glance.


    If it is to choose the successor, there is no doubt that Cao Pi is the most suitable.


    Cao Cao thought about it, and finally said, "well, I choose pi''er as my son."


    "You can''t be king!"


    Yang Xiu a listen to Cao Cao directly decided, can''t help crying out for heaven and earth to dissuade.


    Cao Cao stared at Yang Xiu and said coldly, "master Yang, do you question the king''s decision?" Cao Cao asked people to express their opinions just now because they need to speak and brainstorm.


    But now that Yang Xiu was determined, Cao Cao was a little annoyed.


    Yang Xiu was shocked when he heard this.


    His scalp numb, immediately said: "King Ming Jian, I just a little puzzled.". Now that the king has made up his mind, I will obey his decision. "


    "That''s about it!"


    Cao Cao nodded and his face looked satisfied.


    Cao Cao ordered: "Yang Xiu, you come to draw up the imperial edict, now draw up it."


    "No!"


    With a bitter smile, Yang Xiu knew that there must be no change now.


    Immediately, Yang Xiu spread out the cloth in front of everyone, and then ground and wrote.


    Cao Cao said: "young master Cao Pi, honest and kind, set an example for all young masters..."


    As Cao Cao spoke, Yang Xiu continued to write down. In a short time, Cao Cao''s imperial edict for Cao Pi to be his son was written. Cao Cao took out the seal ribbon of the king of Wei, then stamped it, put it away, and called for Xu Chu.Xu Chu said, "king!"


    Cao Cao said, "Zhongkang, take the imperial edict of the emperor."


    "Ah


    Xu Chu exclaimed, with an incredible expression on his face. How could he take the imperial edict that made Cao Pi the son of the world? It''s not right. He''s just an ordinary general.


    Cao Cao continued: "you immediately send a team of tigers and leopards to break through, and then escort the imperial edict to Yecheng. Now the road outside Sifang city is blocked. As long as the king does not leave and sends soldiers to break through, Liu Xiu''s army must think that he is going out for help. Therefore, they will not stop them, and the tiger and leopard riders will be able to break through the encirclement safely. "


    When Xu Chu heard the speech, he was relieved.


    Today, he was scared by Cao Cao. First, he mistook Cao Cao for asking him who can be the prince?


    Now he thinks that Cao Cao will give him the imperial edict.


    Fortunately, everything is OK.


    Xu Chu took the imperial edict, then turned around and went down to arrange. It''s not easy to arrange for the tiger and leopard to ride out of the encirclement, so Xu Chu has to think it over.


    At this time, Cao Cao leaned back against the pillow and was tired again.


    Cao Cao said: "the selection of Shizi has now been made. Now, let''s discuss how to fight Liu Xiu. "


    Cheng Yu stroked his beard and looked heavy.


    Today, Cao Cao is defeated at the expense of his troops. There are not many available troops under his command.


    Fortunately, Xinye is Cao Ren''s base camp, with enough food and weapons. Otherwise, it is impossible to garrison with the help of Xinye city.


    Cheng Yu said: "king, at present, we have no way to defeat Liu Xiu."


    Xun you said: "king, I can''t think of a way."


    People have to speak, to the current situation, trapped in the city, has been everywhere constrained.


    Cao Cao scratched his head, sighed and said, "just go down and have a rest. Let''s have a rest first, and then discuss the solution. "


    "No!"


    After hearing this, they all left.


    Cao Cao was the only one left in the camp. He endured a headache and lay down slowly.


    Lying on the bed, Cao Cao was sleepless with his eyes open.


    "Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, since I met you at the emperor''s birthday party, I have been fighting with you all the time. Before that, I had always been the king who had the advantage. I didn''t expect that I would be trapped by you now. "


    Cao Cao''s face was full of pain.


    "But I''m not willing to!"


    "I killed Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu and Yuan Shao for decades, and pacified Xiliang."


    "You are just a young man. How can you take away the foundation of the king?"


    Cao Cao''s eyes twinkled with coldness. He was thinking, thinking about solutions, and wanted to completely break the current predicament, so that he would no longer be limited and at a disadvantage.


    Cao Cao constantly use his brain, thinking about the solution.


    However, there is nothing we can do after all.


    But Cao Cao is not willing to let him admit defeat now, he can''t do it.


    All of a sudden, Cao Cao''s brain, the emergence of a aura, and his eyes, is showing a grim look.


    Cao Cao clenched his fist and said, "maybe only by such a strategy can we have a chance to turn the situation around. At this point, there is no way out without being cruel to the enemy or to ourselves. As long as Liu Xiu has problems, as long as he makes mistakes, his foundation will collapse. "


    Cao Cao''s eyes, showing a touch of cold and cruel.


    He is already in such a state of illness that it is not too much to call him terminally ill. Even he can be regarded as a man with half his body buried in the earth. If he can lead Liu Xiu to die together, it will be a good result.


    Cao Cao took a deep breath, his eyes were bare, and said, "maybe, I can only do this."


    After Cao Cao had a direction, he continued to improve the plan.

 Chapter 650

    Luoyang, Chu army camp.


    Wenpin led the army to punish from Chang''an and killed all the way to Luoyang.


    Nowadays, the battlefield is dominated by Wen pin and presided over by Ma Chao and Xu Shu.


    In the barracks, the Chinese army has big accounts.


    Wenpin, Ma Chao, Xu Shu, pound and others gathered here, and their faces were excited.


    The reason is that the news of Nanyang County came.


    With an excited look on his face, wenpin said, "you all know the news about Nanyang County. Cao Cao was seriously ill, Cao Ren, Xia Houdun and Li Dian were killed, and Cao Jun was trapped in Nanyang County. Now, this is our chance. Your Highness has made a breakthrough, and we have no reason to maintain the status quo. Now, we have to send troops. And now it''s our chance. "


    Xu Shu nodded and said, "the general is right. Now is our chance."


    Ma Chao had long wanted to fight Cao''s army. He couldn''t wait to say, "general Wen orders. Ma Chao is willing to be a pioneer."


    In the past, Ma Chao died because of Cao Cao''s family.


    Today, Ma Chao is backed by Liu Xiu. After his younger sister married Liu Xiu, he became a tiger general under Liu Xiu. What he relied on was not Ma Yunlu''s background, but his own ability.


    He earned everything today. However, no matter what, Ma Chao''s best hope is to kill Cao Cao, defeat Cao''s army and get revenge.


    Wenpin said: "Meng Qi is willing to be a pioneer, OK!"


    Wenpin doesn''t care much about Ma Chao''s identity. What he values is Ma Chao''s ability.


    Ma Chao said: "thank you, general!"


    "Wait a minute!"


    Suddenly, Xu Shu spoke.


    Wen pin looked at Xu Shu and asked, "what''s the matter with Mr. Xu?"


    Xu Shu said: "general, our task now is to attack Luoyang. However, if we attack Luoyang by force, we may fall into a bitter battle. After all, Luoyang has recovered its solid city after Cao Cao''s repair. Under such circumstances, it will be very difficult for us to win in one go. So the most appropriate strategy is to subdue the enemy without fighting. "


    Ma Chao said, "what''s the strategist''s plan?"


    Wenpin also asked: "how to operate?"


    Xu Shu looked confident and said: "Luoyang has been besieged by us for several days, and has already been in a state of anxiety. Under such circumstances, we immediately sent people for a walk to hear that Cao Cao was seriously injured and trapped, and then spread the news that Cao''s army was defeated and that Cao Ren and Xia Houdun were killed. The spread of this news will inevitably cause a great disturbance. Under such circumstances, I plan to go to Luoyang in person to persuade Zhang Ya, the general stationed in Luoyang. "


    The general stationed in Luoyang is Zhang Ya, a tiger general under Cao Cao.


    In the past, Zhang was a tiger general under Yuan Shao.


    After the defeat in the battle of Guandu, Zhang Ya and Gao Lan were regarded as abandoned sons by Yuan Shao. They led the army to resist Cao Cao. Finally, they simply surrendered to Cao Cao and became the generals under Cao Cao.


    Zhang Ya, who is well versed in the art of war, is better at guarding the city and garrisoning Luoyang, which is a headache for Wen pin.


    It is very difficult to attack Luoyang.


    Now, good news has come from Nanyang County, and wenpin finally has a good chance to break Luoyang.


    But Xu Shu, also saw the opportunity.


    Wenpin frowned and said, "no, military strategists are risking their lives. If Zhang Jia kills you, won''t we be badly hit? "


    Ma Chao also said, "general Wen has a point. Now is the key time to fight with Cao Jun. if the military division goes to Luoyang and makes some mistakes, it will certainly affect the overall situation. "


    After a pause, Ma Chao said, "Cao Cao is very cruel here. The people under his command are not easy to be compared with. If Zhang has a chance to get rid of the military division, he will certainly do it. "


    Both Wen pin and Ma Chao were against Xu Shu''s going.


    Because it''s too dangerous.


    Xu Shu shook his head and said, "no, in my opinion, it''s not dangerous."


    Wenpin said, "it''s dangerous, military strategist."


    Xu Shu shook his head and said, "it''s not dangerous. Because of the current situation, Zhang can''t afford to kill me. Everyone knows that Cao Cao is in danger. Under such circumstances, I have the greatest chance to persuade Zhang. If you miss the present, it will be very difficult. It''s a chance. It won''t come again. I have to go


    Wenpin said: "we had the power to take Luoyang. Why should the military adviser do so?"


    Xu Shu said, "if we can preserve the strength of the army, we must do it."


    Ma Chao looked at Xu Shu with admiration in his eyes.


    It is said that the Confucians have no power to bind a chicken, but the courage of the Confucians is just like Mount Tai.


    Xu Shu''s courage is admirable.


    Ma Chao took a deep breath and said, "general Wen, I''d like to go to Luoyang city with Mr. Xu to protect his safety. I''m here, and I''m sure to keep commander Xu intact. "


    Wenpin''s face showed an emotional look after listening.The relationship between Wen pin and Xu Shu is perfect.


    The two have been working together for nearly ten years since the formation of the first Legion.


    Ten years of friendship has long been like relatives.


    Xu Shu''s heart is very worried when he wants to take risks.


    Wenpin said: "military strategist, Mengqi is highly skilled in martial arts and has the courage of thousands of people. Nowadays, Meng Qi is the most skillful person in our army. If you have him to protect you, you will be safer. So let Meng Qi go with you. "


    Xu Shu shook his head and said, "no!"


    Wenpin said, "you don''t have to go alone, military adviser."


    Xu Shu said with a smile: "Meng Qi has excellent martial arts skills. He has no advantage in the battlefield. But entering Luoyang city is like entering a cage and becoming a trapped animal. Even if Meng Qi could kill countless people, he could not defeat Zhang Yan. So it''s meaningless for Meng Qi to go with me. "


    Speaking of this, Xu Shu looked at Wen pin and said, "general, general Meng Qi was a pioneer, and stationed troops outside Luoyang. If I enter Luoyang and die in Luoyang at last, I will use my death to boost the morale of the army, arouse the resentment of the soldiers, and let the soldiers boost their morale, unite as one and win Luoyang in one go. "


    Wenpin said: "military strategist, you say so, my heart is more worried."


    Ma Chao also said: "military strategists really don''t need to risk themselves."


    The expressions on both faces were very worried.


    Xu Shu chuckled twice and said, "what I said just now is just the worst result. This war can''t be fought. I''m going to Luoyang. I''m sure I''ll succeed. "


    "Alas..."


    Wen pin sighed and said, "well, I will respect your choice."


    "Ma Chao obeys orders!"


    Wenpin gave a low drink and gave the order directly.


    "The end will be here!"


    Ma Chao stood up and saluted.


    Wen pin, with a solemn expression, said: "I''ve ordered you to lead 10000 elite soldiers to Luoyang and escort them to Luoyang. Then, you wait for the news from the military division. "


    "No!"


    Ma Chao was ordered to turn around and go down to mobilize soldiers.


    Then wenpin and Xu Shu began to prepare for the next thing.


    Xu Shu changed into a green dress, a broad collar shirt, elegant. He has a sword hanging on his waist, boots on his feet, and a golden crown on his head. He is a Confucianist and is heartbreaking.


    Out of the barracks, Xu Shu and Ma Chao came to Luoyang.


    Ma Chao and his army were stationed 80 feet outside the city, while Xu Shu, alone, walked slowly towards the huge and towering city of Luoyang. Today''s Luoyang City, although towering, but it was later repaired, has long lost the ancient charm of the past.


    Xu Shu came to the city downstairs, looked up and said in a loud voice, "where is Zhang Xi?"

 Chapter 651

    Xu Shu was neither humble nor overbearing, and he looked calm.


    At this time, he was under the tower. If someone secretly put a cold arrow on the tower, or someone wanted to kill him, Xu Shu would be in a very dangerous situation.


    However, Xu Shu was not afraid.


    After a while, a general on the tower stood up, put his hands on the female wall and said, "this general is Zhang Yan. Who are you?"


    Zhang Xi is good at guarding and managing the army.


    Garrison in Luoyang, Zhang jaw and soldiers eat together, and live in barracks, excellent for soldiers.


    Therefore, Zhang jaw is very popular with the soldiers.


    As soon as Xu Shu shouts, Zhang Yan looks at Xu Shu with a curious look in his eyes. Because on the one hand, the Chu army set up a battle outside the city, like a decisive battle.


    Then he sent another man. It''s really weird.


    Xu Shulang said in a voice: "I am Xu Shu, the first military commander of Chu army."


    "Xu Shu?"


    The sword eyebrow of Zhang jaw picks, show surprised look.


    Unexpectedly, he went downstairs in person. Xu Shu is so brave.


    Zhang Maxiao said: "Mr. Xu went downstairs in person and risked his life. Aren''t you afraid that with a command from general Ben, he will shoot you here with thousands of arrows?"


    With a smile, Xu Shu said, "when the two countries fight, they don''t cut the envoys. Next time, I''m here to see General Zhang Yan. So, please put down the basket and let Xu Shu go up to the city building. "


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Zhang jaw burst out laughing and said: "what a Xu Shu, he has such courage."


    Zhang also admired Xu Shu.


    Dare to come to the city alone, and dare to put down the basket to climb the tower, this courage, this courage, quite extraordinary.


    "General, Xu Shu is the commander of the first army and Liu Xiu''s most valued man. It''s better to shoot Xu Shu. Since then, it is bound to cause a major blow to wenpin. "


    Under Zhang''s command, a general made suggestions.


    Xu Shu took the initiative to send it to the door. Naturally, someone wanted to solve Xu Shu with an arrow.


    "General, shooting Xu Shu is our greatest achievement."


    "Xu Shu is resourceful and decisive, and he is the right arm of Wen pin. Without Xu Shu''s wenpin, it would be no longer terrible. Now Xu Shu has taken the initiative to ask for death. God has given him a good opportunity. My Lord must not miss it. "


    "Do it, general."


    "General, here''s our chance."


    "If we don''t kill Xu Shu now, when will we wait? General, do it. It''s quite difficult to miss the chance and try to kill Xu Shu. "


    One by one, the generals persuade one after another.


    All of you are very excited and looking forward to it.


    Now is the time to kill.


    "Shut up


    Open jaw direct command, a command, in an instant, everyone shut up, no longer speak.


    As the chief General of Luoyang City, Zhang jaw has absolute prestige among all people. When he gave an order, everyone stopped talking and shut up.


    Zhang Yan said, "come on, put down the basket. I would like to hear how Xu Shu can make flowers. See how he can use his tongue. "


    "No!"


    The soldier was ordered to put down the basket immediately.


    Xu Shu entered the basket and sat down, while the soldiers on the upper floor slowly pulled the basket and went up.


    Outside the city, Ma Chao was worried when he saw this scene.


    At the same time, Ma Chao admired Xu Shu.


    Wen pin had already come to the front of the army. He rode his horse and stood up, looking at Xu Shu, who was going up slowly. He said: "in the present situation, it can only play a role in the safety of the army. If there is anything wrong with the military adviser, I''m afraid I will face the wrath of your highness. "


    Ma Chao said: "the military division will be safe."


    After a pause, Ma Chao said: "general, the military division has never been clear. Today, he even proposed to enter the city to persuade Zhang Yan. It''s really astonishing. "


    Wenpin said: "the talent of a military adviser is the talent of a general."


    Ma Chao nodded and said, "the military division of every army under the king''s command is not simple."


    Ma Chao also knew about Liu Xiu''s armies.


    Wen pin nodded and said, "Meng Qi is right. Every army under the Lord''s command is quite complicated. Ma Liang around Huang Zhong, Lu Su around Zhao Yun, and Ma Su around Tai Shici are all first-class talents, all of whom were discovered by the Lord himself. "


    Speaking of this, Wen pin saw a group of shadows on the upper floor of the city and said, "the military division has gone up to the upper floor of the city. I hope everything goes well."


    At this time, Xu Shu has been on the tower.


    Among the enemies in Xu Shu''s deep place, within a short distance, all the people were enemies.


    Countless people stare at Xu Shu, with murderous look in their eyes and pressing the handle of the sword. It seems that the next moment is about to kill Xu Shu. In the face of such a scene, Xu Shu has no fear, and his manner is calm from beginning to end.


    Xu Shu glanced around and said with a smile, "General Zhang, is this for me?"Zhang Yan said: "the soldiers under the general are all in this posture. It''s good for commander Xu to get used to it."


    After a pause, Zhang jaw said: "what''s the matter, commander Xu can say."


    Xu Shu said with a smile, "do you want to say it here?"


    When he looked at the people around him, he seemed to be on guard. He seemed unwilling to tell the soldiers around him. This scene, on the contrary, aroused the curiosity of the soldiers and generals around.


    Open jaw secret way, cunning Xu Shu.


    If Zhang Yan takes Xu Shu to the room of the city building to talk about things now, it will inevitably cause discussion.


    Many people will think that Zhang has talked about something.


    Instead, Zhang jaw was forced into a corner. He had no choice but to smile and say, "everything can''t be said to others. Commander Xu, if you have anything to say, just say it in front of the soldiers and generals on the city floor."


    At the moment, Zhang chin is ready to respond.


    As soon as Xu Shu came up, he buried a pit for him, so that he had to jump in.


    Such people are not easy to be with.


    Xu Shu once again said, "General Zhang, do you really want to say it here?"


    "Yes


    Answer directly.


    "Xu Shu, if you have something to say, let it go. Don''t cover it up."


    "What bothers me most is people like you. Hum, they always like to play tricks. It''s obvious that his uncle''s is something that can be said directly, but it has to be covered up. "


    "Yes, come on."


    "Say it right away. If you can''t tell why, be careful with your dog''s head."


    One by one, the generals and soldiers spoke, and the crowd was turbulent and murderous.


    Everyone glared at Xu Shu.


    Xu Shu''s face was still incomparably calm. With a cool smile, he said: "Alas, since you are so demanding. Then I don''t need to find a remote place to tell General Zhang. The next time I come here, I will tell General Zhang three pieces of news. "


    "What three messages?"


    A general asked directly.


    Zhang maxillofacial way: "Xu Jun Shi, have words to say directly is."


    Xu Shu said with a smile: "the first news is that Cao Cao was defeated in the first battle of Nanyang County. Now Cao Cao is trapped in Xinye County, surrounded on all sides, and has become a lonely army."


    Brush!


    Countless people''s faces changed when they heard the words.


    In the pupil of open jaw, also show incredible expression.


    How is that possible?


    The king of Wei led a large army to go there. The army was strong. How could it be defeated?


    Zhang''s heart is still unwilling to believe.

 Chapter 652

    Zhang chin, with an unbelievable expression on his face, shook his head: "it''s impossible. The king of Wei led his army to Nanyang County. How could he lose to Liu Xiu? Hum, commander Xu, I didn''t expect you to cheat by such means. You can''t hide such a lie from Ben Jiang. "


    Zhang Yan didn''t believe it.


    Cao Cao is so wise and powerful that even though Liu Xiu is powerful, he will not win.


    Xu Shu smiles and says, "General Zhang, is it necessary for me to cheat you?"


    Zhang jaw a Zheng, as if Xu Shu really no need.


    One of the generals said, "hum, I don''t believe you said that the king of Wei was defeated. But you just said there were three pieces of news, so what''s the second one? "


    "Yes, what''s the second news? Say it


    "Hum, the generation of mystifying."


    "Tell me honestly, or I''ll kill you here."


    Everyone, you say a word, I say a word.


    The gesture was like interrogating a prisoner.


    With a wave of his hand, everyone was quiet. He took a deep breath to calm himself down. Then he stared at Xu Shu and said, "what''s the second news, commander Xu?"


    Up to now, Zhang jaw did not know the situation in the south, did not know what happened in Nanyang County.


    Xu Shu said, "the second news is that Cao Ren, Xia Houdun and Li Dian are all dead."


    Boom!


    The news is like thunder and wind on the ground.


    Countless faces were full of horror.


    "Ha ha ha, in order to deceive us, Xu Shu made up such a lie. It''s really unscrupulous. Who is Cao Ren? He had been in Nanyang County for more than ten years and never quit. Now the king of Wei took his army to Nanyang County, but he was killed. It''s ridiculous. Ridiculous, ridiculous to the extreme


    "And harhoughton, who is harhoughton? That''s a strong general in our army. Whether it''s martial arts, archery, or even the ability of unifying troops, they are all first-class. Like Cao Ren, he is a veteran of the battlefield. How can he be killed. Don''t say that you can''t kill a Cao Ren, plus a Xia Hou Dun, and even Li Dian, you can''t win. "


    "Funny


    "It''s hard work, but in vain."


    "It''s useless. Xu Shu, you big liar, made up such a lie."


    ¡­¡­


    All kinds of words came from the general building under Zhang Yan''s command.


    No one believed that Cao Ren, Xia Houdun and Li Dian would be killed. In the eyes of all, Cao Ren, Xia Houdun and Li Dian were all elite in the battlefield and could not fail.


    Xu Shu took a look at Zhang maxilla. Zhang maxilla was shocked, but he didn''t reply.


    Seeing this, Xu Shu knew that it was a great blow to Zhang''s jaw.


    But now, Xu Shu couldn''t control Zhang Yan''s inner thoughts. He looked at the shouting people and said coldly, "Cao Ren, Xia Houdun and Li Dian can''t die. Then why did Xia Houyuan die? Then why did Cao Cao lose to the king of Chu? Hum, you''re all clamoring. It''s just to cover up your inner emptiness. "


    These words stimulated Zhang''s generals.


    In an instant, someone pulled out his sword to kill Xu Shu on the spot to vent his dissatisfaction.


    Xu Shu''s expression was calm and fearless in the face of danger.


    Now that he has chosen to come to the city to surrender Zhang, he is ready. Moreover, Xu Shu had found out Zhang''s situation. He found that Zhang was a very rational person, so Xu Shu believed that Zhang would not kill him.


    "Enough!"


    Sure enough, he opened his mouth.


    In an instant, everyone stopped talking.


    With a solemn expression on his face, he swept all the generals on the scene and said in a deep voice: "if there are more speakers, there will be no amnesty!"


    At the first order, the crowd shuddered.


    Zhang chin looked at Xu Shu again and said, "commander Xu, what''s the third news?"


    Xu Shu said with a smile: "the third news is that Cao Cao confronts Liang Jun, king of Chu. He learns that Cao Ren died in battle and that Xia Houdun committed suicide before the battle. He vomites blood and faints. It is said that his headache is more serious. Today, Cao Cao''s life will not be long. "


    Zhang jaw heart suddenly, did not expect things so serious.


    At this point, Zhang jaw believes that the other party will not cheat him, it should be true.


    Although the rest of the generals were not convinced, they listened to Xu Shu''s affirmative tone and saw Xu Shu''s confident expression again. Their faces were extremely dignified and solemn.


    At this time, the atmosphere on the tower is like the prelude before the storm.


    Dull!


    Silence!


    There is a suffocating breath.


    Zhang chin was carrying his hands, but the hands behind him clenched into fists. He looked at Xu Shu and said, "up to now, the war in Nanyang County has subsided. Then, Mr. Xu can tell us the details of the battle in Nanyang County. "


    "Of course!"


    Xu Shu nodded and said, "in fact, it''s a very simple war in itself."Zhang maxillofacial way: "say key point directly."


    With a smile, Xu Shu replied, "Cao Cao arrived in Xinye County, while the king of Chu was stationed in Chaoyang County, preparing to go north to fight Cao Cao. At that time, Cao Cao unexpectedly sent Cao Ren and Xia Houdun, each leading an army, and quietly ran to Huyang county and Yin County, intending to seize the two places and cut off the retreat of the king of Chu. "


    "Cao Cao thought he was highly resourceful, but the king of Chu never showed his attitude of discovery. He just went to Xinye to fight Cao Cao."


    "However, the king of Chu has already found out."


    "When the king of Chu found out, he sent Wei Yan and Deng yuan to ambush early, waiting for Cao Ren and Xia Houdun. In the end, Cao Ren died in battle, and Xia Houdun was captured. "


    In his words, Xu Shu said confidently: "after the war, Cao Cao and the king of Chu were at a crucial time. In another confrontation between the two armies, the king of Chu threw out the news that Cao Ren had been killed. "


    Then, in front of Cao Cao, XiahouDun killed himself directly


    "Cao Ren and Xia Houdun are Cao Cao''s absolute confidants, first Xia Houyuan, then Cao Ren and Xia Houdun. They are dead and have a great impact on Cao Cao."


    "So, on the spot, Cao Cao had a headache, then vomited blood and fainted."


    "The king of Chu launched a general attack, and Li Dian was responsible for covering the retreat of Cao Cao''s army, and then he was killed."


    Xu Shu shrugged his shoulders and said, "this is the general thing. At present, Cao Cao is really in a crisis. He is trapped in Nanyang County and has become a lone army. It can be said that Cao Cao will soon die. "


    After hearing this, Zhang chin sighed in his heart.


    Lost!


    The king of Wei was really defeated by Liu Xiu again.


    Xu Shu continued: "Cao Cao''s first battle with the king of Chu was in Nanyang County. At that time, Cao Cao was defeated at the expense of his troops, and he lost 200000 troops. The second battle was the battle of Chang''an, in which Cao Cao killed Xia Houyuan and lost control of Liangzhou and Guanzhong. Today, Cao Cao''s losses are greater and more serious. "


    "Today''s Cao Cao is on the verge of death. It''s the sunset. General Zhang jaw, you are a wise general who can see into the situation. Now that our Lord''s power is established, you can''t stop him. "


    "It is the so-called" good birds choose trees to live in, and good officials choose their masters to do things. ". You have no choice but to follow Cao Cao. Better be obedient to my Lord than that. "


    "The king of Chu is virtuous. He wants to recruit talents like General Zhang Yan."


    "As long as general Zhang obeys, his treatment and official position will remain unchanged."


    With bewitchment in his words, Xu Shu said slowly: "General Zhang doesn''t think about himself. Don''t you think about your brothers? They are all brought out by you. Would you like to watch them die? General, if you submit to the king of Chu, you will comply with the will of heaven. "


    "If Cao Cao could resist the king of Chu, I would not persuade him, because persuasion is useless. Now that the defeat of Cao Cao is imminent, general Zhang should consider himself. "


    "For you, for your brother, for your family."


    "So, please submit."


    Xu Shu folded his hands, bowed his hands and said, "if the general is not willing to surrender, then Xu Shu has nothing to do. Now that Xu is here, he is ready to be killed. "

 Chapter 653

    Zhang jaw said with a smile: "if the two countries do not cut their envoys, how could they have killed you?"


    Xu Shu said: "the general is wise!"


    After a pause, Xu Shu said: "general, it''s time to make a decision now. The state of Chu and the state of Wei are about to decide. You don''t have time to hesitate now. It''s impossible to escape. "


    After hearing the speech, the expression on his face was still dignified.


    Surrender!


    Is he going to surrender again?


    Zhang Ya used to be a man of Yuan Shao, and then he surrendered to Cao Cao. He had already been a man of surrender.


    If now, Zhang Yan betrays Cao Cao again and surrenders Liu Xiu?


    Xu Shu seemed to see Zhang''s scruples and said with a smile: "General Zhang, those who know current affairs are heroes. You surrender, not because you want to surrender, but because the situation is like this, you have to do so."


    "In the past, you belonged to Yuan Shao. However, only when Yuan Shao abandoned the general did he have a general to serve Cao Cao. Just ask, did Cao Cao look down on the general at any time? "


    "Now, the general''s surrender to the king of Chu is for the sake of the soldiers in the city not to die in vain, and for the sake of the countless people not to be affected by the war. I can use my personality to guarantee that the king of Chu will never despise generals, but will reuse them. "


    "If the general is worried about this, there is no need at all."


    Xu Shu''s eyes are shining with wisdom.


    It is not only Zhang''s identity, but also Zhang''s experience that blocks Zhang''s surrender.


    Xu Shu''s words opened the jaw.


    After hearing Xu Shu''s words, Zhang jaw''s expression on his face was loose, which was already emotional. He looked at the generals under his command, and saw that there were expectations and worries on their faces, but they were still hesitant.


    "What do you think?" he said


    As the chief General of the first army, Zhang Ya also needs to consider the idea of deployment.


    If most people insist on World War I, then they can only choose World War I. If most people are not willing to go to war, what''s the use of sticking to it alone?


    "General, let''s go down. Since the king of Chu has trapped the king of Wei, I''m afraid the king of Wei will be defeated. "


    "General, I''m in favor of submission, too."


    "The failure of the first attack by the king of Wei led to the king of Chu''s stability in Jingzhou; the failure of the second attack by the king of Wei led to the king of Chu''s powerful role in Yizhou and Xiliang. Now, if the king of Wei loses again, I''m afraid he can''t resist the king of Chu. "


    "Let''s surrender!"


    "If we go on fighting, what can we get? Come down, general


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Before, everyone scolded Xu Shu, but now the wind has changed.


    Everyone stood on Liu Xiu''s side and hoped that Zhang would surrender. Even Cao Ren and Xia Houdun had been defeated. At this point, it''s impossible to resist.


    Cao Cao will be defeated!


    This is what everyone thinks.


    Looking at all the people under his command, he sighed.


    Immediately, Zhang chin clasped his hands and said, "master Xu, if you win, you will be willing to surrender."


    "Good!"


    Xu Shulang said with a smile: "I admire General Zhang''s words. General Zhang will not regret today''s actions. In the future, the king of Chu will come to the world, and there will be a place for a general among the founding officials. "


    Hearing the speech, a trace of shock passed in his eyes, but he immediately showed a clear look.


    Liu Xiu founded the country!


    Liu Xiujun is in the world.


    In fact, at this stage, will Liu Xiu exchange power with the little emperor?


    It''s obviously impossible.


    Therefore, Xu Shu just put the matter in the name of the face.


    Zhang jaw embraces the fist way: "Cheng Xu army teacher auspicious speech!"


    "Come on, open the gate."


    Since Zhang Ya had surrendered, he would not cover up any more and simply ordered to open the city gate. The roaring sound sounded, and the suspension bridge of Luoyang City was put down and spread on the ground.


    Zhang jaw waved his hand and said, "commander Xu, let''s go. I''ll take the army out of the city and hand over the military power."


    "Good!"


    Xu Shu nodded and went down the castle with Zhang Yan.


    At the same time, all the generals under Zhang''s command went down with him.


    All the soldiers in the city were mobilized and left the city with Zhang Yan.


    The great army was out of the city with boundless momentum.


    Under Zhang Ya''s command, there are 12000 elites. These elites are the elites on the battlefield after all previous wars. After he took the army out of the city, he ordered the soldiers to lay down all their weapons, and then let Wen pin and Ma Chao come forward to collect their weapons and take all the soldiers away.


    Although Zhang surrendered, it was impossible for the soldiers not to reorganize.


    If the soldiers are not organized, there is a danger.


    Therefore, Zhang jaw did not show an unexpected look when he saw the soldiers taken away and reorganized.


    Wen pin looked at Zhang Yan and said, "General Zhang Dayi, when the king of Chu heard the news, he must be happy. With general Zhang''s ability, he will be at least the head of an army in the future. "Zhang chin said with a smile, "general Wen has been praised falsely."


    A group of people entered Luoyang, and wenpin quickly sent soldiers to take over Luoyang.


    The army encamped outside the city.


    Chinese army big account!


    Wen pin, Xu Shu, Ma Chao, Zhang Ya and others gathered here.


    Wenpin said: "now that Luoyang City has won, the next step is to go out of Hulao pass in the East and go straight to Yanzhou to cut off Cao Cao''s back road, so that Cao Cao''s army can''t support Cao Cao, making the trapped Cao Cao completely defeated. Do you have any suggestions? "


    Xu Shu said with a smile: "I have already considered the next step. However, I''m afraid that I will aggrieve General Zhang. It depends on whether general Zhang is willing to do so. "


    "I''d like to listen to the arrangement," he said


    Now that he has been reconciled, Zhang can''t be independent and must obey the arrangement.


    Wen pin said, "what''s Mr. Xu''s plan?"


    Xu Shu replied: "in fact, the plan is very simple. Now general Zhang has just returned, and the news has not been leaked. We just need to cut off the checkpoint, control the news, and then let general Zhang pretend to be defeated and go to the deceitful city. It''s inevitable that there will be no way but disadvantage. "


    This plan is based on the cooperation of jaw opening.


    So Xu Shu looked at Zhang.


    Zhang chin smiles and says, "where you need the last general, Zhang chin is duty bound. At present, Xu''s strategy is indeed the best plan. "


    Wenpin was overjoyed and said, "so the general agreed."


    "Yes


    Zhang did not hesitate.


    He has just been subordinated to Liu Xiu, but he has done nothing.


    Now Xu Shu''s plan needs his cooperation. Of course, he goes all out.


    Wen pin said: "so, it''s hard for general Zhang."


    Immediately, wenpin arranged a detailed plan.


    In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang jaw began to take action, took a group of disabled soldiers to escape from Luoyang, and then went straight to hulaoguan. After leaving Hulao pass, Zhang Ya went straight to Chenliu County outside Hulao pass and Yingchuan County in Yanzhou.


    At the beginning, no one expected that Zhang jaw had been obedient, and Zhang jaw was also very important under Cao Cao, so no one doubted Zhang jaw.


    In this way, Zhang jaw and wenpin cooperated with each other and won Yingchuan, Chenliu and other places easily.


    Wenpin came out of hulaoguan in the East and won in succession, and the news spread to Liu Xiu in the shortest time.


    Outside Xinye city.


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    Liu Xiu received the news from the royal guards and learned that Zhang Ya was obedient. Then Chen Liu, Yingchuan and other places had been conquered. He couldn''t help laughing.


    With the cooperation of Wen pin, Cao Cao could not resist.


    During this period of time, Liu Xiu besieged the rescue area and destroyed a lot of Cao Jun.


    Now with the news of wenpin, Cao Cao can no longer stop it.


    "Somebody


    Liu xiuphen gave an order directly.


    Deng Zhan came in and saluted.


    Liu Xiu said: "please Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and others to discuss the matter."


    "No!"


    Deng Zhan went on to preach, and soon everyone came to the camp.


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said: "just received the news from wenpin, the northern army has won a great victory. After wenpin came out of Chang''an, Xu Shu was alone and directly persuaded Zhang to surrender. With Zhang''s cooperation, he has gone out of Hulao pass and captured Yingchuan, Chenliu and other places in Yanzhou. Now the road behind Cao Cao has been cut off. "


    When they heard the speech, they had bright smiles on their faces.


    Pang Tong laughed and said, "this is God''s blessing to the king of Chu. Now Zhang jaw is obedient, and Chen Liu, Yingchuan and other places have fallen. We will win this battle. Your highness, Cao Cao was sick. Now we should send the news into the city. Once Cao Cao gets the news, he may die. This news is really amazing


    Jia Xu nodded his head and said: "today''s Cao Cao is already a bird in shock. Zhang''s obedience may be a fatal straw. So I''m in favor of sending news into the city. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "OK, that''s it. Deng Zhan, do you know what to do? "


    Deng Zhan laughed and said, "don''t worry. Deng Zhan will finish it properly."


    "Go


    With a wave of Liu Xiu''s hand, Deng Zhan went down.


    Liu Xiu discussed with the others and prepared for the final battle. Now that wenpin has won the victory, it will not benefit much to trap Cao Cao. We can take Cao Cao directly, and then join wenpin to attack Cao Cao''s hometown.

 Chapter 654

    Cao Cao''s barracks.


    Today''s Cao Cao is not only under great psychological pressure, but also in worse health.


    His health, a serious drag on him.


    Especially when he saw XiahouDun''s tragic death, it stimulated Cao Cao.


    His headache is getting worse.


    In the camp, Cao Cao lay on the bed to rest, but his head had a headache, which made him hard to sleep.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sudden sound of footsteps came from outside the camp.


    "Hoo


    The tent curtain rolled up, but Xun you strode in.


    Xun you arched his hand and said, "Lord!"


    Cao Cao sat up tired and said, "Gongda, what''s the matter?"


    Xun you sighed: "Liu Xiu has entered the army. He has mobilized a large army to kill us in our barracks."


    Cao Cao eyebrows pick, very surprised, said: "how possible? Why did Liu Xiu attack suddenly? "


    The decisive battle between the two armies is not a matter of one day.


    Liu Xiu was not sure that he would win. He came with a big army in a hurry. At most, he was both defeated, and it was difficult to achieve the greatest results.


    Xun you sighed: "Liu Xiuzhi marched because of Luoyang direction. We were defeated!"


    Cao Cao was shocked and said, "is Zhang jaw defeated?"


    Xun you said: "Zhang Ya surrendered, leading to the collapse of Luoyang. Today, we are back and forth. "


    "Once Ma Chao, Xu Shu and others are allowed to kill us from Luoyang, we will be cut off and led to our attack."


    "The situation is critical now, and there can be no further delay."


    "Prime minister, this war is no longer beneficial to us. I suggest withdrawing our troops."


    "We retreat to the north and look for opportunities to fight back."


    At this time, Xun you did not suggest Cao Cao to fight any more.


    Most importantly, Cao Cao is not in good health.


    If Cao Cao''s body has three strong points and two weak points, even if Cao Pi is appointed as the son of the world according to Cheng Yu''s suggestion, Cao Pi is much younger than Cao Cao, and it is difficult to control the situation.


    As long as Cao Cao is still there is still a chance to turn over.


    Xun you looked at Cao Cao and waited for his decision.


    Cao Cao said: "Gongda, I''m not willing. I''m not willing to retreat. My body is clear to me. At this point, once you go back, I''m afraid you will never have a chance of revenge in your lifetime. "


    Xia Houyuan died in the hands of Liu Xiu!


    Xia Houdun died in Liu Xiu''s hands!


    His two brothers, or two generals, died in Liu Xiu''s hands.


    How can Cao Cao endure such deep hatred?


    Xun you was silent when he heard the speech.


    Cao Cao''s situation is worrying. Once he goes back, I''m afraid it will be more or less bad. After all, his health has reached this point.


    Cao Cao said with a smile, "Gongda, it''s not as miserable as you said. Although Xu Shu and Wen pin copied our way back and married, we also had troops in the rear. "


    "It''s not so easy for them to cut back."


    "Moreover, although the army under my command was defeated for a while, it was not without a chance to turn the situation around."


    "In the past, we all encountered more difficult situations, let alone now?"


    Cao Cao''s face, more confident and calm, said: "this battle is the decisive battle between Wang and Liu Xiu. Even if I die on the battlefield, I am willing to. Gongda, do you understand my mind? "


    After hearing this, Xun you sighed, "I will do my best to help my Lord!"


    Cao Cao nodded and waved.


    Xun you bowed down.


    Cao Cao was sitting on the bed. He pulled the sheet and let it go. He was also relieved.


    His headache is getting worse.


    After a while, Xun Yu went back to his tent and made his own.


    Under the command of Cao Cao, Cheng Yu was not only a literary minister, but also a leader.


    However, when Yu''s age rose, he almost stayed in the center of the imperial court, and there was no leader outside.


    However, Cheng Yu''s position under Cao Cao was unshakable.


    Xun you entered the camp, bowed his hand and said, "Duke Zhong De!"


    Cheng Yu said: "Gongda, sit down!"


    After sitting down, Xun you said, "just now, I went to persuade my Lord to withdraw and return. But the Lord refused. News came from Luoyang that Zhang Ya had surrendered. "


    "The army on the front line of Luoyang was defeated, and our rear area was in danger."


    "Under such circumstances, it would be extremely unfavorable for us to fight with Liu Xiu again."


    "If we withdraw now, we can still remain elite."


    "When we returned to Jizhou, we could build up our strength again, and the army of Wei would soon recover and fight again."


    "Once the Lord is here, I''m afraid it will affect the overall situation."Xun you looked worried and said, "in particular, Liu Xiu has moved. Now, Liu XiuXiu is leading an army to kill us. If we fail in this war, we can imagine the consequences. "


    Cheng Yu said, "is your attitude firm?"


    Xun you said, "I''m extremely determined. The king said that if he withdraws his troops, it will be hard for him to get revenge in his lifetime. It''s estimated that the king''s body can''t support him any more. "


    Cheng Yu said: "I heard that Zhang Zhongjing under Liu Xiu is a miracle doctor. It''s a pity that Zhang Zhongjing can''t come. Otherwise, he may have a chance to treat the king. "


    Xun you said, "if the king is in good health, it is naturally the best."


    At present, although the situation is delicate, for Xun you and Cheng Yu, what they value most is Cao Cao''s illness.


    To cure Cao Cao''s disease is the most worthwhile.


    As for the success or failure of a time, it''s not a big deal.


    In the past, when Cao Cao rose step by step, he faced difficulties several times. Even Cao Cao was once over Yanzhou by Lu Bu because of the Chen palace, but Cao Cao was in trouble, and the situation was even worse at that time.


    Now the temporary defeat to Liu Xiu is just a temporary gain and loss.


    Cheng Yu said: "Alas, the king''s disease!"


    He stroked his white beard under his jaw and looked helpless on his face.


    Even though Cheng Yu and Xun you are outstanding in their wisdom, they have no solution in the face of life, old age, illness and death.


    "Zhong De Gong, Zhong De Gong, good news!"


    Suddenly, a burly figure rushed in like a gallop.


    It was Xu Chu who came here.


    When Cheng Yu saw Xu Chu rushing in, his face suddenly became cold and said, "Xu Chu, what are you yelling about?"


    Xun you said, "what''s the good news for General Xu?"


    Xu Chu looked excited and said quickly, "I, I, I found Hua Tuo. He is a great doctor. Maybe he can cure the king''s disease."


    Hua Tuo?


    Cheng Yu''s eyes flashed, and he stood up.


    Excited!


    Excited!


    At the moment, Cheng Yu, regardless of his image, once again asked: "Zhong Kang, are you sure?"


    "Sure!"


    Xu Chu nodded.


    Xu Chu said: "in the last two days, the king has stopped taking medicine, even military doctors have used it. I''m afraid that if I find Hua Tuo, the king will not accept it. So, please help to persuade the king

 Chapter 655

    Cheng Yu said, "no problem, Zhongkang. You bring in the doctor first."


    Cheng Yu is also aware of Hua Tuo.


    Hua Nan, Zhang Tuo.


    In the south of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Ji and Zhang Zhongjing were the leaders.


    In particular, Liu Xiu established Xiangyang hospital in the south, and Zhang Zhongjing became the most famous doctor.


    In the north of the Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo was the leader.


    Hua Tuo was good at medicine, especially in surgical diagnosis and treatment.


    Cheng Yu didn''t expect that Xu Chu had found Hua Tuo. God bless Cao Cao.


    Cheng Yu looked at Xun you and said, "Gongda, the king of Wei is saved. The king of Wei is saved. As long as Hua Tuo treats the king, he will surely die. As long as the king is alive, the situation will not be chaotic. "


    Xun you was also extremely excited and said, "yes, yes, Hua Tuo will be able to save the king of Wei."


    At the moment, Xun you is also full of expectations.


    It is no exaggeration to say that Cao Cao is the backbone of the army, which can not be replaced by Cao Pi.


    After a short time, Xu Chu came in with Hua Tuo.


    Hua Tuo was also an old man, but he was very young and in excellent health.


    When Hua Tuo saw Cheng Yu, he arched his hand and said, "I''ve met you in the countryside."


    Cheng Yu said: "there is no need to be polite to the Chinese doctor. If it is unnecessary, I will not say more. The king of Wei changed his headache, which could not be cured by the military doctors or even the imperial doctors. Now, it''s up to the great doctor Hua to make a comeback. "


    Hua Tuo said, "I can only do my best."


    Cheng Yu said, "doctor Hua, please follow me. Let''s meet the king of Wei."


    "Please


    Hua Tuo waved his hand. Cheng Yu and Xun you walked in front of him. Hua Tuo followed Xu Chu and went to Cao Cao''s central army.


    Soon, I came to the camp.


    Cao Cao had already got up from his bed. He saw Cheng Yu, Xun you, Xu Chu, and a young man come in and said, "what''s the matter?"


    Cheng Yu said: "Lord, General Xu is worried about the king''s condition and sends people everywhere to seek medical advice. I didn''t expect that he had found the doctor


    He pointed to Hua Tuo and said, "Your Majesty, this is doctor Hua."


    Hua Tuo arched his hand and said, "I''ve met the king of Wei."


    Cao Cao said, "there''s no need to be polite. Please sit down!"


    Everyone is seated.


    Cao Cao looked at Hua Tuo and said, "doctor Hua, I''ve had a headache. I can''t cure it all these years. Even the imperial doctor in the court had no way. Does the Chinese miracle doctor have a good prescription


    Cao Cao has a big revenge. He doesn''t want to die.


    If he doesn''t win Liu Xiu, he will never give up.


    Now that Xu Chu had found Hua Tuo, Cao Cao was very happy.


    Hua Tuo said: "King Wei, the grass people are different from the imperial doctors in the palace. Maybe the imperial doctors in the palace are no less skilled than the grass people. But their curative effect is not as good as that of grass-roots people. "


    Cao Cao''s eyes, showing a touch of curiosity, said: "why?"


    Hua Tuo explained: "the imperial doctors in the palace treat diseases with a word of" stability ". They don''t have more than 90% confidence in everything. They dare not take medicine easily."


    "After all, it''s the princes and nobles who heal."


    "The slightest carelessness is life risk."


    "However, the grassroots are different."


    "The heart of a doctor''s parents is to cure and save people. In times of crisis, even if there is only 10% assurance, we should try."


    "Most of the time, in fact, life is hanging on the line."


    "Bold treatment, careful proof, the final result, but can be cured."


    Hua Tuo said: "it''s not about medical skills, it''s decided by one''s own situation. Any doctor can understand such things. "


    Cao Cao nodded slightly and said, "the words of the Chinese miracle doctor are convincing."


    Hua Tuo said, "the king of Wei flattered me."


    Cao Cao said, "from the perspective of the Chinese miracle doctor, can the king''s disease be cured?"


    Hua Tuo replied, "the grassroots need to make a diagnosis before they can make a definite diagnosis. Let''s see if it''s possible."


    Cao Cao said, "it''s all right, although the Chinese miracle doctor makes a diagnosis."


    Hua Tuo stood up and said, "King Wei, the grass people have violated the law. Please reach out to him."


    Hua Tuo came to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao held out his hand and let Hua Tuo feel his pulse. Hua Tuo not only felt his pulse, but also inquired about his illness and observed Cao Cao''s mouth, tongue and eyes.


    Doctor four skills, look, smell, ask, cut!


    Hua Tuo is an absolute expert in this field.


    He felt his pulse and observed carefully, but the more he went down, the more dignified his face was.


    Cao Cao''s condition is not optimistic.


    Even, it''s the most dangerous time.


    If we don''t do it again, we will be in danger.


    Hua Tuo didn''t speak for a long time, but Cheng Yu, Xun you and Xu Chu, who were sitting in the camp, were dignified.Hua Tuo is as famous as Zhang Zhongjing.


    If Hua Tuo couldn''t, who could cure Cao Cao that day?


    Hua Tuo didn''t open his mouth, and people didn''t dare to disturb him.


    Cao Cao''s brain benevolence burst of pain, and began to attack.


    Douda''s sweat seeped out from Cao Cao''s forehead, which made him very uncomfortable.


    Seeing this, Hua Tuo stopped feeling his pulse and said, "please let the king of Wei take off his clothes and let the people of grass give the king of Wei acupuncture first to relieve the pain for a while. Then, the CaoMing people described in detail the disease of the king of Wei


    Cao Cao said, "I''m a miracle doctor."


    Immediately, Cao Cao took off his coat and discussed, revealing his upper body.


    Hua Tuo took an oil lamp, and then took out a silver needle. The tip of the needle burned slightly on the fire. Then he put the needle on Cao Cao.


    Hua Tuo''s silver needles are very thin and long.


    The silver needles were slowly inserted into Cao Cao''s back, chest and even arms. At a glance, it was numbing.


    Finally, even Cao Cao had a silver needle on his head.


    Hua Tuo''s face was very serious.


    He kept twirling the silver needles one by one. After a long time, he began to pull out the needles.


    As the silver needles were pulled out one by one, the pain on Cao Cao''s face disappeared slowly. People also felt more relaxed than ever.


    Comfortable!


    Just these two words.


    Cao Cao looked at Hua Tuo with sweat stains on his face and said, "thank you, doctor Hua. I''m better than ever."


    Hua Tuo put away the silver needle and returned to his seat.


    Hua Tuo said: "the king of Wei, the grass-roots people treated with acupuncture. This is a temporary cure, not a permanent cure. It can only be delayed. And with silver needle pressing, it will be effective for about half a month. Once the time goes on, it will be hard for the grassroots to suppress it. "


    Cao Cao''s face twitched slightly when he heard the speech.


    Half a month!


    It''s only half a month.


    Cao Cao quickly asked, "doctor Hua, if you give acupuncture and take medicine?"


    Hua Tuo said: "the body of the king of Wei can no longer be treated with strong medicine, but can only be recuperated. So the effect of medication is not big, can only be pressed with silver needle


    Cheng Yu answered and said, "doctor, is there no other way?"


    Hua Tuo said: "yes, the grassroots have 70% of the grasp to cure the king of Wei."

 Chapter 656

    "Seriously?"


    Cheng Yu hears speech, immediately excited rise.


    Xun you said, "is the Chinese miracle doctor serious?"


    Xu Chu was even more direct and said, "since the Chinese miracle doctor is 70% sure, what can he delay? Let''s do it now. "


    Hua Tuo shook his head.


    Cao Cao said, "is there any problem with the Chinese miracle doctor?"


    If it''s an ordinary disease, Hua Tuo said that he is 70% sure. Cao Cao naturally believes it and thinks it''s not difficult to deal with it.


    But I know my illness.


    Cao Cao knew that his illness was not easy to deal with, and it must be quite complicated.


    Hua Tuo zhengse said: "after Cao min''s diagnosis, he thought that Prime Minister Cao had a headache because there was a foreign body in his head. To completely solve this problem, we can only remove the foreign body through craniotomy, and the headache will recover naturally. "


    "Craniotomy has been encountered by the grass-roots people, and it is not complicated to deal with it."


    "But as for the prime minister, we should be very careful."


    "After all, no medical skill can guarantee 100% success, and there will be risks."


    Hua Tuo said, "whether you agree or not is all in the mind of the king of Wei."


    Cheng Yu and Xun you are both silly when they say this. They didn''t expect that Hua Tuo proposed such a treatment.


    The human brain is a vital existence.


    Once you open your head, can you live?


    Xu Chu was very angry. He stood up and said, "Hua Tuo, do you want to know what you are saying? Hum, the body of the king of Wei is so precious that you are not allowed to fool around. "


    He had hoped for Hua Tuo, but when he heard Hua Tuo''s words, he became angry.


    Xu Chu did not accept it.


    It''s too risky.


    However, Cao Cao stopped him and ordered Xu Chu to sit down.


    Cao Cao asked, "doctor Hua, are you sure there will be no problem in taking out the foreign body through craniotomy?"


    Hua Tuo confidently said: "the grass people are confident. When the grass people use a knife for the prime minister, the prime minister will take medicine in advance, and there will be no pain. CaoMing has dealt with many such cases. "


    Cao Cao was silent when he heard the speech.


    Cao Cao is still skeptical.


    However, Cao Cao wanted to have a try.


    The situation of Cao Cao today is different from that of Cao Cao in history.


    In history, when Cao Cao came across Hua Tuo after his illness, he was in power and would shake the world twice, especially when he was older, more suspicious and more afraid of death.


    As soon as he heard that Hua Tuo was going to open his skull for him, he was put into prison on the spot.


    However, today''s Cao Cao, the situation is different.


    Cao Cao was defeated by Liu Xiu in succession, and was in a rather difficult situation.


    At this time, Cao Cao''s condition became more and more serious, and even could not be suppressed.


    Cao Cao wanted to survive and defeat Liu Xiu to avenge Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan.


    Although the method proposed by Hua Tuo is risky, Cao Cao does not doubt that Hua Tuo is coming to kill him, because he is at a disadvantage and no one will assassinate him.


    Cao Cao''s eyes were solemn and his face was uncertain.


    He kept thinking about it.


    70% sure!


    If his headache can be completely cured, he can compete with Liu Xiu with all his strength.


    If he doesn''t accept Hua Tuo''s treatment, he can''t stick to it, because he already feels that his illness is getting more and more serious.


    Cao Cao is not a man of indecision.


    A moment later, Cao Cao had a decision in his mind.


    He decided to adopt Hua Tuo''s suggestion.


    Cao Cao looked at Hua Tuo and said, "doctor Hua, I will get rid of my illness. I will accept your treatment and ask doctor Hua to do his best."


    Hua Tuo said: "the king of Wei is worthy of being the king of Wei. He has great courage."


    "Please rest assured that the grass people will try their best to cure the king of Wei, which is also very important to the grass people."


    "It''s not only to cure the disease, but also to gamble on the lives of the grassroots."


    "If the grass people can''t save the king of Wei, I won''t live much longer than the king of Wei."


    Hua Tuo was willing to save Cao Cao. He was a kind-hearted doctor.


    He could imagine that if he failed, he would die with Cao Cao, because Cao Cao''s officials, his wife and children could not spare him.


    However, Hua Tuo could not give up treating Cao Cao.


    This is not only a test of his medical skills, but also a patient.


    After hearing this, Cao Cao said, "Duke Zhong De!"


    "I''m here!"


    Cheng Yu quickly stood up and saluted.


    Cao Cao said, "remember, the Chinese miracle doctor treats the king, no matter what the final result is? You should not hurt the doctor. You should ensure the safety of the doctor. "


    "Here it is


    Cheng Yu holds his fist.


    Hua Tuo was even more convinced when he heard Cao Cao''s words.Cao Cao has a big mind.


    Hua Tuo said: "the king of Wei was broad-minded and admired by the grass-roots people."


    Cao Cao said with a smile, "the Chinese doctor has done his best to cure the king. How can the king let the Chinese doctor be affected again?"


    Hua Tuo said, "thank you, King Wei!"


    "Doctor Hua, these days, you have to work hard. You can give me acupuncture and then open your skull for treatment," Cao Cao said


    Hua Tuo said: "the grass people obey, but please prepare early. Don''t delay too long. Otherwise, even if the craniotomy, it is difficult to achieve the best effect


    Cao Cao said, "the truth is clear."


    "Somebody


    Cao Cao gave an order.


    A soldier came in and saluted.


    Cao Cao said, "next to the king''s camp, set up a separate camp to let the Chinese doctor rest."


    "Here it is


    The soldier got the order and went down with Hua Tuo.


    Cao Cao''s eyes fell on Xu Chu and said, "Zhong Kang, you are really the king''s general."


    Xu Chu bitter face, said: "king, the end will regret."


    Cao Cao said, "what do you regret?"


    Xu Chu snorted, with a worried look on his face, and said: "it''s unheard of and unheard of to open the skull and remove the foreign body. He will be very worried about the safety of the king. "


    Cao Cao said, "Zhong Kang, I think what the Chinese doctor said just now is very reasonable. If he can''t cure the king, he will also bear great consequences. It''s the king''s luck that Huashen doctor is willing to help. "


    In fact, Cao Cao also doubted the feasibility of craniotomy to remove foreign bodies, and was very worried.


    However, he has no choice.


    If he had a choice, he would not want to be craniotomized.


    But now, his condition is getting worse and worse, and he can''t stick to it at all.


    If you want revenge and bloodstain, you have to accept Hua Tuo''s treatment.


    As soon as Cao Cao''s eyes turned, he looked at Xun you and said, "Gongda, I have considered it. I agree with your suggestion and prepare to withdraw. "


    Xun you said, "Your Majesty is wise!"


    At this moment, Xun you was really relieved.


    Now the situation is unfavorable. If we continue to fight, even if we can hit Cao Cao hard, the final result will inevitably affect the overall situation of Wei.


    Cao Cao''s withdrawal will ensure Cao''s combat effectiveness.


    He withdrew from Jizhou and fought Liu Xiu later.

 Chapter 657

    Cao Cao said with a smile: "if there is no Chinese miracle doctor, the king will not retreat."


    "However, with the Chinese miracle doctor, the king must retreat."


    "Now there''s the Chinese miracle doctor giving the needle, and I won''t be disturbed by the pain for the time being. When we all withdraw to Jizhou and stabilize the situation, we''ll let the Chinese miracle doctor treat us again."


    Speaking of this, Cao Cao has a touch of brilliance in his eyes.


    He tosses the ground to have a voice of way: "yuan let and second just of grudge, this king has not forgotten."


    "When the head disease is cured, Wang and Liu Xiu will fight again slowly."


    "When the time comes, I will be ashamed again."


    There is hatred in Cao Cao''s eyes. He knows his own situation very well.


    In the case of headache not all cured, he and Liu Xiu fight, is extremely unfavorable.


    Xun you arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"


    Cheng Yu said: "king, temporary failure is nothing. We''re closing for the time being in order to be more powerful next time. "


    Cao Cao nodded, also a look of approval.


    Several people deliberated on the next arrangement, with a relaxed look on their faces.


    "Step on it! Step on


    A rapid sound of footsteps came from outside the big account of the Chinese army.


    Cao Ren came in in a hurry and reported: "king, Liu Xiu''s army is very close to us. One hour at most, there will be an attack. "


    Cao Cao said: "Cao Ren, you can go down and defend the whole line."


    Cao Ren was surprised and said, "ah, isn''t it a counter attack?"


    For Cao Cao''s arrangement, Cao Ren''s heart is very surprised, since the death of XiahouDun, Cao Cao has been on the verge of fury, ready to fight Liu Xiu.


    Now Liu Xiu takes the initiative to fight, but Cao Cao chooses to defend.


    Cao Cao said: "Cao Ren, you can arrange it."


    "Here it is


    When Cao Ren heard the speech, he went down to make arrangements.


    Cao Cao looked at Xun you and Cheng Yu and said, "we are going to have a meeting with Liu Xiu. Even if we want to retreat, we can''t retreat at will. We can''t make Liu Xiu arrogant. "


    "Here it is


    Xun you, Cheng Yu and Xu Chu got up and went out to inspect the barracks with Cao Cao.


    ¡­¡­


    Liu Xiu, together with Zhang Ren and Wei Yan, led the army on their way quickly.


    The army advanced and went straight to Cao Cao''s barracks.


    Pang Tong followed Liu Xiu and said with a smile, "king of Chu, this battle will determine the ownership of the world. In this war, the king of Chu must win. "


    Liu Xiu said, "it depends on what Cao Cao does."


    "If Cao Cao has a decisive battle with us, we will surely win this battle. If we take advantage of the victory to pursue, Cao Cao''s army will lose its power completely. "


    " if Cao Cao defends, the situation will be different. "


    "But overall, we have a huge advantage."


    Liu Xiu has great confidence in this war.


    Cao Xiayuan said with a smile, "Hou Gu died first. How can Cao Cao endure such a situation? Cao Cao couldn''t help it. "


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    The army advanced and went straight to Cao''s camp.


    When Liu Xiu came to the front of Cao''s camp, the troops lined up.


    Liu Xiu came to the front of the army. He rode his horse to stand and saw Cao Cao standing at the gate of the camp.


    At this time, Cao Cao actually took the initiative to ride the horse out.


    After Liu Xiu saw it, he didn''t hesitate and walked forward for a long distance.


    They stood more than 20 feet apart.


    Liu Xiumian with a smile, said in a loud voice: "brother Meng De, you take the initiative to come out, are you planning to surrender?"


    In words, with confidence.


    Cao Cao is not impatient, replied: "brother, I am here to thank you, thank you for curing the king''s head disease for many years."


    "After Yuan rang''s death, I was stimulated. I didn''t expect that my head disease was cured."


    "Dear brother, I want to thank you."


    "If it''s not for you, I can''t cure my head disease, and then I''ll fight you with all my strength."


    Cao Cao''s words, on the surface with gratitude, in fact satirize Liu Xiu.


    The two people''s words are tit for tat.


    Liu Xiu said: "brother Meng De, your head disease is just like Chen Lin''s attack on you in the past. It''s just a temporary solution to the problem, and it''s hard to cure it completely. "


    "But the death of XiahouDun gives me a chance to cure brother Montessori thoroughly."


    "XiahouDun and XiaHouYuan are dead, and your head has recovered a little."


    "But it''s not thorough enough."


    "Why not, brother Meng de called out Cheng Yu, Xun you, Xu Chu and others and let me chop them one by one."


    "Brother Meng De, seeing them killed one by one, must be greatly stimulated. Your head disease must be completely recovered, so that it can be really cured."


    In Liu Xiu''s words, he didn''t give up at all.He is not afraid of Cao Cao.


    At the beginning, Liu Xiu and Pang Degong went to Xuchang to celebrate the emperor''s birthday.


    At that time, Liu Xiu fought with Cao Cao''s men.


    Now, Cao Cao wants to fight with Liu Xiu himself. He''s looking for his own smoke.


    After listening, Cao Cao''s mouth twitched slightly.


    Liu Xiu''s mouth is so poisonous.


    Cao Cao said, "my brother, not only Cheng Yu, Xun you and Xu Chu, but also my king is waiting for you in the camp. You may as well come. It''s up to you whether you can take it or not. "


    As the voice fell, Cao Cao turned and went back to the camp.


    He didn''t plan to talk to Liu Xiu again. It was Liu Xiu''s unforgiving mouth.


    Liu Xiu returned to the front of the army, looked at Zhang Ren and said, "Zhang Ren, this battle will be handled by you."


    "Here it is


    Zhang Ren was ordered to take over the command.


    Zhang Ren ordered: "catapult, in position!"


    At the command of the army, the soldiers of the catapults came forward one by one, and they all began to quickly load the catapults, and then they stood outside Cao Cao''s camp.


    To attack the camp, the catapult is essential.


    In the preparation of the catapult, Zhang Ren ordered: "archers, prepare!"


    In an instant, a pair of archers came forward.


    The position of these archers is in front of the soldiers of the catapult. All of them are in formation, ready to fight.


    It''s not long. The catapult is ready.


    "Catapult, let go!"


    With a command, a catapult car running up, patter patter of throwing a piece of rock.


    The big stone flew by, crossed the arc in the air, and went straight to Cao Jun camp.


    Moments later, big rocks fell.


    "Boom! Boom! "


    There are stones falling on the ground constantly, which makes the ground of Cao Jun camp vibrate. In particular, the location where the catapult aimed was the fence and other fortifications arranged in Cao''s camp.


    Round by round, big stones flew out and fell to the ground.


    Cao army camp, Cao soldiers to avoid, and then carefully prepared to fight back.


    At the beginning of the preparation of the catapult, the captain in charge of the archers ordered: "Archer, shoot the arrow."


    At the command, all the archers began to shoot their arrows.


    "Whew! Whew


    Dense bows and arrows swept through the air and then shot into Cao Cao''s camp.

 Chapter 658

    Liu Xiu''s army, the offensive officially opened.


    Especially after the archers began to design, it was some soldiers who used rockets. One rocket was fired into Cao Cao''s camp, which caused some confusion to Cao Cao''s camp.


    However, Cao Ren was in command, and Cao Cao, Xun you and others did not panic.


    One by one soldiers, orderly resist.


    The catapult and the bow and arrow lasted about a quarter of an hour. The fence of Cao''s camp had been destroyed, which was conducive to the attack.


    Zhang Ren no longer hesitated, ordered: "Wei Yan listen to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Wei Yan saluted with a look of excitement in his eyes.


    Zhang Ren said: "you lead the vanguard, attack immediately and break Cao''s camp."


    "Here it is


    Wei Yan was carrying a long knife. He came to the front of the vanguard who had been prepared for a long time. He said in a loud voice: "all the troops listen to the order and catch Cao Cao alive!"


    "Capture Cao Cao alive!"


    Soldiers in the army, shouting.


    "Capture Cao Cao alive!"


    "Capture Cao Cao alive!"


    The soldiers kept shouting and their voice became more and more loud.


    Countless soldiers, incomparably excited.


    It is only at this time that soldiers in the army want to make contributions.


    Wei Yan see morale up, ordered: "kill!"


    He took the lead in killing him with a knife.


    "Kill


    "Kill


    Countless soldiers, shouting, and then stormed out.


    Wei Yan led 3000 soldiers in this charge, not all of them. The vanguard''s function was to break Cao Cao''s camp.


    The vanguard troops came out and went straight to Cao''s camp.


    Huang Hu stood in front of Liu Xiu, watching Wei Yan kill out, a eager expression, said: "Lord, Wei Yan are up, the end will also go to fight."


    Shamoko also had expectations in his eyes, saying: "Lord, let the end go. Later, Cao Cao will be arrested by Wei Yan. "


    Liu Xiu looked at the excited two people and said with a smile: "there is no such easy thing. It''s not time for you to appear."


    If Cao Cao can be easily defeated, he is not Cao Cao.


    The vanguard led by Wei Yan is just the beginning.


    This war has just begun.


    If Huang Hu, Sha Moke and others are allowed to fight now, it will do great damage to their elite. Because at this time, we don''t need to fight each other.


    Wei Yan led his troops to the outside of the camp under the cover of catapults and bows and arrows.


    At this time, the bow and arrow stopped, and the catapult stopped shooting.


    The function of bow and arrow and catapult is to suppress the enemy first and create opportunities for the soldiers charging.


    Now, the opportunity is here.


    Wei Yan held the knife and roared: "kill!"


    He quickly rushed up, the soldiers under his command also quickly killed in.


    At this time, Cao Cao''s camp, a team leader Gunners killed out. There were 1600 soldiers in this unit, 40 in a row, with a total of 40 platoons.


    The soldiers at the front are all soldiers with shields.


    The spearmen rushed up and stopped Wei Yan.


    "Kill


    More than a thousand people cried out, their shields were up and their spears were out.


    Wei Yan led the soldiers to kill them. He cut off the long knife in his hand and one knife on a big gun. He directly cut off the big gun, and the soldiers holding the gun were also killed by him.


    However, Wei Yan has not been able to break the opponent''s battle, and there is a long gun to kill.


    Wei Yan couldn''t reach the destination, so he had to retreat.


    Although the soldiers charging on one side rushed up and killed some of Cao''s soldiers, Cao''s long gun array was so strict that it was hard to break.


    The long gun came out and the cold light flashed.


    A shield is like a wall.


    "Puchi! Wheezing


    A big gun stick out, unexpectedly is stabbed into a soldier''s body.


    In a flash, the soldiers fell to the ground.


    The soldiers of the vanguard army are hard to resist the long gun array.


    Wei Yan knew that if he fought hard, the long spearmen under his command would not be able to stop him. Wei Yan directly ordered: "spread out, all spread out."


    For today''s sake, we can only disperse.


    The spearmen are in a tight position and are hard to break.


    However, spearmen also have the disadvantage of long guns, that is, they lack flexibility.


    Wei Yan let the soldiers under his command disperse, ignoring the spearmen. But just as the troops dispersed, teams of archers came out at the rear of the camp.


    The position of these archers was just on the left and right wings behind the long gunners.


    Wei Yan led the troops to disperse, and the bow and arrow came directly.


    "Whew! WhewDense bows and arrows, coming quickly.


    The soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.


    Wei Yan waved his long knife and pulled away the bow and arrow. He wanted to take his soldiers forward, but under the dense bow and arrow, he could not advance at all.


    In desperation, Wei Yanyou and his soldiers retreated to the front of the long spearmen.


    Wei Yan couldn''t stop the long spear soldiers, so that he was defeated.


    The army kept retreating, and the spearmen advanced rapidly.


    Seeing this, Wei Yan ordered: "withdraw!"


    The army withdrew and failed to rush into the barracks.


    After all, this is the site of Cao Cao''s barracks. It is not easy to break through Cao Cao''s barracks by the charge of soldiers.


    Spearmen chased and killed at the gate of the camp.


    Zhang Ren saw in the rear that he saw Wei Yan withdraw from the gate of Cao''s camp, and saw the spearmen arrive at the gate of the camp, with a sneer on his lips.


    "Clairvoyant, long shot!"


    Zhang Ren ordered his catapult to act immediately.


    "Bang Dang! Bang


    The catapults started to run, and the loaded stones flew through the air, and then flew directly to the Cao army camp.


    Cao Jun''s long spearmen, the captain in charge of seeing this, sneered twice, not anxious not slow ordered: "retreat!"


    He had looked at the distance of the catapult when it was launched earlier.


    The attack range of the catapult is just at the gate of the camp.


    As long as he took the soldiers back a little distance, it was enough to avoid the attack of the catapult.


    It''s late, it''s fast.


    The stone curved in the air and began to fall.


    The captain of the Spearman looked up, his scalp numb, and yelled, "I''m in the middle of the stratagem, go back, go back!"


    "Boom!"


    The stone fell and fell into the crowd of spearmen.


    "Boom! Boom


    One stone after another fell into the crowd.


    At that time, dozens of soldiers were killed and wounded.


    The formation of the spearmen was also completely disordered, no longer as strict and orderly as before.


    The captain of the Lancer opened his eyes with anger. He was cheated by the other party. Just now, he watched the location of the stones dropped by the catapult and thought that the catapult should be in the front line of the camp gate.


    Unexpectedly, the other party had reservations.


    The real distance of the other side''s catapult is enough to be thrown into the camp.


    "Retreat, retreat!"


    The captain of the catapult retreated, the chaotic soldiers ran down, and many people died under the impact of the boulder.


    The army retreated to the barracks, with heavy casualties.


    Cao Cao in the rear, also saw this scene, he had seen Liu Xiu''s vanguard was repulsed, is also very excited, did not expect in the twinkling of an eye, his people were calculated, is also a burst of loss.


    Xun you said, "Liu Xiu was at war, and the people under Liu Xiu''s command were quite cunning. They even deliberately misled us."


    Cao Cao said, "he can have a first time, but he can''t have a second time. Next time, it won''t be possible. Send an order, reorganize the army immediately, and be careful that Liu Xiu''s army will kill again. "


    Cao Ren got the order and arranged to go on.


    Seeing this scene, Liu Xiu also secretly praised Zhang Yisheng.


    This hand is really beautiful.


    Wei Yan took the soldiers back to Zhang Ren''s side and said, "General Zhang, at the end of the day, the general tried out. Cao Cao''s camp must have some means that haven''t been used. It''s very difficult to take the camp directly."


    When Zhang Ren heard the speech, he had a look of thinking on his face.

 Chapter 659

    It is obvious that Cao Cao had made preparations.


    Otherwise, Cao Cao''s camp would not be so rigorous and defensive.


    Zhang Ren concluded that Cao Cao should focus on defense.


    Before Cao Cao, constantly fighting with Liu Xiu, did not intend to defend at all. Now suddenly changed the strategy, but let Zhang Ren some not used to.


    Zhang Ren ordered: "summon, order the catapult and archer to attack. The rest of the soldiers, hold on


    At the first order, the soldier quickly conveyed the order.


    A moment later, the catapult started.


    "Bang Dang! Bang


    The lever of the catapult swung quickly, throwing out big stones.


    The stone passed in the air and fell into Cao''s camp, smashing the ground to pieces.


    Bows and arrows flew by and into Cao''s camp.


    The army suppressed and bombarded.


    Zhang Ren turned around and rode back to the central army. He came to Liu Xiu''s position and said, "Your Highness."


    Liu xiudao: "General Zhang, the war is not going well."


    Zhang Rendao said: "Cao Cao''s insistence on defense makes it difficult to attack by force."


    Liu Xiu asked, "what do you think?"


    Zhang Ren replied, "the general suggested that we should withdraw troops and camp temporarily and confront Cao''s army."


    "If we say that Cao Cao is willing to fight head-on, we can defeat Cao Cao''s army by holding the general trend and making concerted efforts."


    "However, Cao Cao chose to defend, which is very difficult."


    "Cao Cao is not an ordinary man. He is proficient in the art of war and the layout of the barracks is very clever."


    "It will be very difficult for us to break through."


    After careful analysis, Zhang Ren said: "if there is no wenpin general, he will try his best to win Cao Cao''s camp."


    "Now wenpin general is going out of Luoyang in the East, cutting off Cao Cao''s back road."


    "In this case, we can wait."


    "We can wait, Cao Cao can''t wait."


    "Therefore, at the end of this war, it is suggested that we should stick to it for the time being and fight a war of attrition with Cao Cao."


    Zhang Ren''s eyes narrowed, with a touch of cold light, said: "at the end of the day, we will conclude that the final result must be Cao Cao''s withdrawal, or Cao Cao''s collapse. At this stage of the war, Cao Cao was at a disadvantage. "


    Liu Xiu also nodded after listening.


    In the current situation, no matter how hard the attack is, it will not be of great benefit. After all, Cao Cao is not a general person.


    Liu Xiu wanted to fight a decisive battle, but he was not so arrogant that he could take Cao Cao directly.


    Liu xiudao: "permission to withdraw!"


    "Here it is


    Zhang Ren was relieved.


    He also worried that after Liu Xiu won, he wanted to win Cao Cao.


    Now Liu Xiu has taken the advice, and Zhang Ren can arrange it according to his ideas.


    Zhang Ren drove his horse to the front of the army, ordered the stone throwing soldiers and archers to stop attacking, and then called to withdraw.


    The soldiers in Cao''s camp were relieved when the army withdrew.


    When Cao Cao was in the camp, he was relieved to see the Chu army leave. He loosened his clenched fist and let out a long sigh, but the pain that had been relieved began to ache again.


    Seeing that Cao Cao''s face was different, Cheng Yu immediately ordered the soldiers to escort Cao Cao back to the camp, and asked Hua Tuo to give the needle for Cao Cao.


    Hua Tuo was busy for a long time, but Cao Cao was relieved a little.


    Hua Tuo said: "King Wei, I''m afraid the grass people''s estimation of your illness is at a low point. Depending on your situation, I''m afraid it''s very serious. Cao min suggests that you can''t work hard these days. "


    Cao Cao gave a bitter smile and said, "doctor Hua, I have no choice in the present situation."


    Hua Tuo said, "it''s impossible. You are a patient."


    Cao Cao said: "thank you for reminding me. I know."


    Hua Tuo stepped back.


    Cao Cao looked at his generals and said, "what do you think of today''s World War I?"


    Xun you said: "Liu Xiu suddenly withdrew. He thought that Liu Xiu saw that our camp was not easy to attack, so he planned to spend time with us after withdrawing."


    "Time is pressing. If we delay one more day, our rear area will be in danger."


    "Liu Xiu''s intention is to wait for wenpin to cut off our retreat."


    Xun you''s eyes twinkled with light, and said: "King Wei, I suggest that you arrange soldiers to straighten out the salute immediately and prepare to retreat."


    Cheng Yu stroked the white beard under his jaw and said slowly: "even if we want to withdraw, we can''t withdraw in a hurry. Otherwise, it is easy to be covered up by Liu Xiu. If we want to withdraw, we have to withdraw safely. "


    Xunyou said: "Zhongde is right."


    Xu Chu sat at the bottom in a dull voice. He only knew how to carry out tasks, but he didn''t participate in these things.


    Cao Ren said: "King Wei, since we want to withdraw. The general believes that it is most appropriate to withdraw troops at night. On the one hand, our retreat is silent and will not be found; on the other hand, if Liu Xiu wants to cover up, he has to consider whether there is an ambush? "At this stage of the war, Cao Ren was also very tired.


    Cao Cao wants to withdraw, and Cao Ren supports it.


    Cao Cao nodded and said, "Cao Ren''s suggestion is advisable. The best time for us to withdraw is at night."


    "It''s tonight."


    "At the same time, send a team of soldiers to attack Liu Xiu''s camp quietly."


    "We sent soldiers to harass Liu Xiu to make him think that we would not retreat. When Liu Xiu gets up early tomorrow morning, he suddenly finds that we have retreated, and it''s too late for him to pursue us. "


    Cao Cao looked at the people under his command and asked, "what do you think?"


    Cheng Yu said, "I agree with the arrangement of the king of Wei."


    Xun you said, "I agree with you in your humble position."


    Xu Chu looked excited in his eyes and said, "King Wei, the last general is going to fight. Tonight, the end will request to harass. During this period of time, Liu Xiu''s people have been beating him continuously, and he has been holding his breath for a long time. This is a headache for Liu Xiu this evening. "


    "Yes," said Cao Cao


    Cheng Yu objected: "the king of Wei, the minister objected."


    Cao Cao said, "why?"


    Xu Chu glared at Cheng Yu.


    Cheng Yu explained: "it''s just an attack on Liu Xiu''s camp. It''s not a big deal. Xu Chu''s task is to protect the king. As long as the king is safe, everything is secondary. So Xu Chu must stay to protect the king. "


    After hearing this, Xu Chu''s face changed slightly.


    He didn''t think of it.


    Without waiting for Cao Cao to speak, Xu Chu took the initiative to say, "King Wei, I''m going to be wrong. He is willing to stay and withdraw with the king. "


    Cao Cao said with a smile, "if that''s the case, Zhongkang will stay."


    Cao Cao looked at Cao Ren and said, "Cao Ren, choose a man from the army and lead the soldiers to harass him at night. Remember, it''s just harassment. There''s no need to cut corners. "


    "Here it is


    Cao Ren should go down.


    After he left the camp, he went down and arranged everything.


    The retreating army and the moving army are already in Cao Ren''s arrangement.


    After dealing with these things, Cao Ren was relieved.


    Although the war failed, at least he was luckier than XiahouDun and XiaHouYuan, and still alive. Cao Ren now has a little fear of Liu Xiu''s army.


    In fact, Liu Xiu''s army is too fierce.


    Cao Ren, with a cool breeze, took a rest for half an hour and went back to his tent.

 Chapter 660

    August night, with some hot and dry.


    In Liu Xiu''s camp, all the soldiers had rested.


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    At the moment, the lights are still bright.


    Liu Xiu sat in the tent, and Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Zhang Ren and Wei Yan were also in it.


    People get together to discuss things.


    With a serious look on his face, Jia Xu said: "Your Highness, the news has just come from the rear, and Jiangdong has taken action. Zhou Yu frequently mobilizes his troops. It seems that he is going to attack our rear. "


    Liu xiudao: "it seems that Sun Quan saw that Cao Cao was defeated. He was worried that he would be affected by Cao Cao''s defeat, so he was ready to help Cao Cao."


    It should be said: "at present, it is like this."


    However, Jia Xu''s face had a worried look.


    This curtain fell in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    Liu Xiu asked, "Wenhe, is there anything else?"


    Jia Xu said: "news came from Yizhou that there was turmoil in Yizhou. Huo Jun was in charge of the investigation, but he never found out the situation behind it."


    Liu xiudao: "is it possible that it was Liu Zhang or Zhang Lu?"


    "It''s not ruled out, but it''s not sure yet," Jia said


    At the moment, Liu Xiu had a dignified look on his face.


    In some strange situations, Cao Yiyu and Zhou did not fight each other.


    Liu Xiu thought for a while and made a decision soon.


    Liu Xiu said, "he ordered Tai Shici to seize Jiangdong. Zhao Yun should be ready to control the situation in Yizhou at any time, and Yizhou should not affect the overall situation. "


    "This is the critical period for a decisive battle with Cao Cao. We can''t withdraw our troops."


    "Once the troops withdraw, all previous achievements will be wasted."


    "No matter what difficulties there are, we must press down now and wait until the decisive battle with Cao Cao is over."


    Liu Xiu attached great importance to this decisive battle.


    If Cao Cao was defeated in this battle, Liu Xiu would take the initiative if he could enter Yanzhou and Jizhou.


    The general situation of the world is completely in his hands.


    If this war can not achieve the desired effect, Cao Cao will make a comeback.


    Jia Xu said: "the humble position will convey the order!"


    "Well!"


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    He and his subordinates discussed the next direction, and then said: "it''s late. Let''s go down and have a rest. Now we have to wait for the news, just for the troops of Wen pin and Ma Chao. "


    The crowd got up, saluted and prepared to withdraw.


    Just then, the mutation happens.


    "Dong! Dong! "


    The sound of fighting drums suddenly came from outside the camp.


    The roaring drums broke the silence of the night and made Liu Xiu, Jia Xu, Zhang Ren and others nervous.


    Zhang Ren''s reaction was so quick that he rushed out directly.


    Then Wei Yan rushed out.


    The two men were the chief generals in the army, who were responsible for the arrangement of the war. As soon as they heard the news, they both went out to check the situation.


    Liu Xiu looks serious and takes Jia Xu and Pang Tong out.


    However, Liu Xiu was shocked at first, and then relieved. He didn''t feel nervous.


    Zhang Ren is good at defense. When he arranges the barracks, he arranges the defensive forces. Even if they are attacked, they can deal with it properly.


    To Liu Xiu''s surprise, Cao Cao sent someone to attack the camp.


    Liu Xiu came to the gate of the camp. He listened to the sound of war drums, but after waiting for a long time, no soldiers were killed in the dark. He only heard the sound of war drums.


    Zhang Ren said: "Your Highness, this situation may be attacked by Cao Jun, deliberately making our soldiers unable to rest."


    "Of course, it may be Cao Cao''s intention."


    "He beat the drum several times in a row and didn''t send troops. Let''s relax our vigilance."


    "When we really didn''t care and relaxed our vigilance, Cao Jun really killed us and caught us off guard."


    Zhang Ren looked confident and said: "Your Highness, no matter what Cao Cao''s intention is, the final general has been arranged properly. Cao''s army will not take advantage of it again. Please rest assured."


    Liu xiudao: "you handle affairs, this king is at ease."


    Jia Xu is old, and he has a long journey, so his physical strength is not enough.


    When Zhang Renna is in line, he doesn''t want to stay up late.


    Jia Xu said: "Your Highness, since general Zhang has made arrangements, I will go to have a rest."


    Liu Xuan nodded and said, "go, military strategist."


    "Here it is


    Jia Xu arched his hand and then turned to leave.


    Pang Tong also left and went down to have a rest.


    Zhang Ren said: "Your Highness, the defense of the camp has been arranged. Your highness, let''s have a rest."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "good!"


    After Liu Xiu left, only Zhang Ren and Wei Yan were left.


    Zhang Ren said: "chief Wen, Cao Jun is likely to harass or even attack the camp tonight. We are divided into two groups. You stay in the first half of the night and I stay in the second half of the night to be ready for attack. "Wei Yanlian said hastily, "general, you''d better stay in the middle of the night."


    It''s night now, half the night.


    It''s the second half of the night that''s really hard.


    Obviously, Zhang Ren took care of Wei Yan.


    Zhang Ren said: "it''s settled. When I get to the battlefield, I''m just in command. I won''t fight in the battlefield. It doesn''t matter if I sleep less. On the contrary, you must have a good rest if you want to raise your troops to the front. "


    Wei Yan opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him again.


    However, Zhang Ren flatly said, "it''s settled. If you work hard, I''ll have a rest."


    Wei Yan said: "I will obey you!"


    Cooperating with Zhang Ren, Wei Yan is convinced.


    Zhang Ren is not only excellent at shooting, but also very appropriate in dealing with people.


    Wei Yan inspected the camp, either to see the soldiers on patrol or to see the soldiers in ambush.


    Outside the camp, in the woods in the distance.


    Cao Ren led a group of soldiers, is ambushing in the woods.


    Originally, Cao Cao asked Cao Ren to choose a general to harass, but in the end, Cao Ren came by himself.


    This is because Cao Cao is going to withdraw his troops tonight, and Cao Ren''s attack is not only to attract Liu Xiu''s attention, but also to be responsible for severing the army after dawn.


    Cao Ren hid in the forest, staring at the brightly lit camp.


    The camp of Chu army is very strict.


    Although there was only a group of soldiers on patrol, Cao Ren thought that there must be ambush because of the heavy barracks.


    If he rushes over, he will be ambushed.


    Cao Ren harassed a pass, waiting for about half an hour, ordered: "summon the southeast ambush, ring the drum."


    "Here it is


    Cao Ren''s soldiers went to send orders immediately.


    Time compensation, war drum ring.


    In the silent night, the war drums roared, which made the soldiers on patrol gather quickly in the camp of Chu army, and then they were ready.


    However, no Cao soldiers attacked.


    The assembled Chu soldiers soon dispersed.


    Cao Ren saw the changes in the camp of Chu army in his eyes. After two attacks, the enemy''s ambush did not appear. It seemed that he was hiding deeply.


    Cao Ren is not in a hurry.


    As an experienced general, he has enough patience.


    Cao Ren waited quietly. Half an hour later, Cao Ren was ready to launch a small-scale attack.


    It''s too little to harass the ribs. You have to mobilize the soldiers of Chu army.

 Chapter 661

    Cao Ren looked at the soldiers around him and ordered: "Kanghu!"


    "Yes


    Kanghu comes forward and salutes.


    Kang Hu is a typical big man in the north.


    His hands are long and slender, and the palms of his hands are covered with cocoons, all of which are the marks left by his daily practice.


    Cao Ren said: "you lead a hundred soldiers to rush out and directly kill the Chu army camp. At the same time, all the pots prepared for you are on your back. When you get to the gate of the Chu army camp, you throw pots into the Chu army camp. "


    Kanghu said: "the end will understand!"


    Cao Ren nodded and said, "Jiang Yi!"


    "Yes


    Jiang Yi clasped his fist and saluted.


    Jiang Yi is thinner than Kang Hu. He is not so strong, but he is thinner.


    Jiang Yi is good at archery.


    Cao Ren said, "take ten archers with you and follow Kang Hu closely. When Kanghu throws the pottery pot into the camp of Chu army, you are ready to shoot an arrow. "


    Jiang Yi said: "I understand your humble position!"


    Cao Ren said, "go ahead."


    "Here it is


    Kang Hu and Jiang Yi prepared with their soldiers.


    Cao Ren ordered: "beat the drum!"


    Once again, I thought of the drum fight in the woods.


    With the sound of battle drums, the Chu soldiers in the camp were not nervous because of the previous situation, and their faces were even more relaxed.


    The patrol is still on patrol.


    Those who should rest are still resting.


    And the watchtower at the gate of the camp, the sentinel soldiers are bored staring out.


    In the first two times when the drums were beating, they were all staring out, but they never saw the enemy soldiers come out. So this time, they were not nervous.


    Suddenly, a soldier opened his eyes and saw someone heading for the camp.


    "Enemy attack, stand by!"


    "Enemy attack, stand by!"


    The soldier on guard yelled, and just after he yelled twice, a bow and arrow came and hit the soldier''s heart with a puff.


    The blood spattered and the soldiers fell down.


    This move made the soldiers in the camp nervous.


    The soldiers quickly assembled, and Wei Yan also quickly reorganized the soldiers to prepare for war.


    Wei Yan looked up, where he could see the Cao soldiers who were killing quickly.


    However, Wei Yan glanced and found that the number of the other side was not much.


    Wei Yan ordered: "Bowman, prepare!"


    At the command, the bowmen came forward one by one.


    The bows and crossbows used by Chu soldiers were all reformed by Huang Yueying. They not only had a longer range, but also had greater power.


    A group of twenty bowmen immediately loaded the crossbow and aimed at the outside.


    "Whew! Whew


    The crossbow went straight out of the camp.


    After a round of shooting, the second row of bowmen came up and fired again.


    Kanghu led a hundred soldiers to approach with earthenware pots on their back, but when they were about 20 feet away from the Chu army camp, the crossbow had already roared, and they were shot into the soldiers'' bodies.


    On the spot, more than ten people died.


    Kanghu was also nearly hit by a bow and arrow.


    When Kanghu escaped the first wave, a second wave of crossbows and arrows came immediately.


    "Come on!"


    Kang Hu''s face was solemn, and there was a touch of fear in his eyes.


    The crossbow is no faster than the bow and arrow. It''s a straight line shot and more lethal.


    A crossbow, even enough to shoot through the soldier''s body.


    Kanghu took the soldiers forward less than ten steps, and one third of the soldiers around him were dead.


    If we continue to rush forward, the casualties may be even greater.


    "Back up!"


    Seeing this situation, Kang Hu knew that it was impossible to complete Cao Ren''s task, and directly gave the order to retreat. He made a U-turn to retreat and soon joined with Jiang Yi.


    Kang Hu said: "the Chu army has been prepared for a long time. They are armed with crossbows. A few of our soldiers can''t rush in."


    Jiang Yi saw the situation ahead, but also helpless, followed Kanghu retreat.


    Standing in the camp, Wei Yan looked at the retreating Cao soldiers and sneered twice. Then he ordered the Bowman to retreat and ordered the soldiers to patrol separately.


    Cao Jun just sent more than 100 people to attack, which is too few.


    Wei Yan didn''t look, so he left again.


    Kanghu and Jiang Yi returned to the woods. Kanghu breathed heavily and said, "general, I''ll punish you for your incompetence."


    Kang Hu felt guilty for not completing the task.


    Cao Ren patted Kang Hu on the shoulder and said, "well, I didn''t expect that the other side would have such means. The Chu army used the crossbow hand defense, we this strength, really cannot let the Chu army camp riot


    Kang Hu said, "general, what shall we do next?"


    Cao Ren said: "let''s just harass them honestly. Every once in a while, we have been beating drums, so that Liu Xiu''s soldiers can''t rest. Anyway, our main purpose is to attract each other''s attention and let Liu Xiu mistakenly think that we are deliberately harassing them and not let them sleep. In this way, it was also good for the withdrawal of the king of Wei. "Kanghu nodded, and then he went to see the wounded soldier.


    In the previous crossbow shooting, some soldiers died on the battlefield, while others escaped injured.


    These soldiers also need to be bound up.


    Kanghu did a simple treatment for the soldiers, and it was already in the middle of the night.


    Wei Yan went to rest, and Zhang Ren stayed in the middle of the night.


    However, after a tour, Zhang Ren arranged for the night patrol generals to patrol, and he went back to the camp to deal with his official business. He just doesn''t have to rest to make sure he can deal with it at any time. He doesn''t have to stay at the gate of the camp all the time.


    This night, the battle drums often sounded, but the Cao soldiers did not come.


    Zhang Ren is also used to it and thinks it''s a trick of harassing the other side.


    As time goes by, the clear air rises and the turbid air falls. In the eastern sky, there is a touch of fish belly white.


    It''s early morning in August.


    Zhang Ren saw that it was daybreak, worried that there would be an attack at this time, and asked the soldiers to be careful. Then he went to the rear camp to see the soldiers in the kitchen prepare breakfast.


    When breakfast was ready, the soldiers began to get up.


    After morning exercise, I began to have breakfast.


    After all the soldiers of Chu army got up, Cao Ren and others in the woods were hard to hide.


    Because the light is bright, once the battle drum rings, their position will be exposed, especially when it is no longer in the dark. The other side can distinguish whether there is an ambush, so Cao Ren decided to retreat at the right time.


    Cao Ren retreated so fast that he began to catch up with Cao Cao.


    Last night, Cao Cao had withdrawn his troops.


    Cao Ren separated a night, he still needs some time to catch up.


    In the daytime, Liu Xiu, Zhang Ren and others are busy again.


    At the same time, scouts were sent out to inquire for information.


    At noon, the scouts found the strange situation in Cao Cao''s camp, because they didn''t see the smoke of people burying pots and cooking, only a few soldiers patrolling.


    In the morning, I saw a few soldiers patrolling, probably Cao Jun in the camp.


    At noon, it''s strange to see no one.


    Scouts inquired, determined that Cao''s army had retreated, and then quickly returned to the camp to report the news.

 Chapter 662

    The big account of the Chinese army.


    Zhang Ren, Wei Yan, Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others gathered here.


    Liu Xiu looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "last night, Cao Cao sent troops to harass them. But today, we find that Cao Cao has withdrawn. What is the situation? What do you think? "


    Zhang Ren said: "Your Highness, Cao Cao''s military tactics are deceitful. He is not easy to deal with. The last general thinks that this may be Cao Cao''s plan of deceiving us. Once we pursue, Cao Cao may ambush us. "


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly, but did not make a statement.


    Pang Tong squinted and said, "what if Cao Cao really retreated?"


    Zhang Ren said: "how can it be? It''s impossible. "


    Pang Tong said, "why not."


    Zhang Ren explained: "first, if Cao Cao retreats in this battle, he will be killed by his highness. In particular, Cao Cao was once ambushed, and now he is retreating. He is likely to be defeated like a mountain. "


    "Second, can Cao Cao endure the tragic death of XiahouDun in front of him?"


    "Third, Cao Cao has been defeated by his highness many times. Can Cao Cao swallow this tone?"


    Zhang Ren''s eyes are full of wisdom.


    He can''t believe that he fought yesterday, and today Cao Cao will withdraw.


    This is not like Cao Cao''s style.


    Pang Tong said: "General Zhang''s analysis is very reasonable, but in my opinion, it missed a very important point."


    "What?" Zhang Ren asked


    At this time, Liu Xiu''s eyes also fell on Pang Tong.


    He also wanted to hear what Pang Tong would say.


    Liu Xiu had his own inference about Cao Cao''s retreat, but he also had to listen to the counselors'' judgment. This is the role of counselors.


    Pang Tong said: "if Cao Cao suddenly fell ill last night, it would have been very difficult to persist in his serious illness?"


    Brush!


    Zhang Ren''s eyes were full of surprise.


    He neglected this point.


    If Cao Cao is seriously ill and Cao''s army retreats, it may be that Cao''s army has to retreat.


    After listening to Pang Tong''s analysis, Liu Xiu agreed with it.


    In fact, Pang Tong''s analysis has been quite thorough.


    However, no one expected that at such a critical time, Xu Chu found a Hua Tuo who could cure Cao Cao''s headache, which was the reason for Cao Cao''s real retreat.


    Liu Xiu looked at Jia Xu and asked, "what do you think of the military adviser?"


    Jia Xu said: "Your Highness, it''s possible that the soldiers are crafty, false and real, true and false."


    "What we have to consider is to include these factors."


    "I suggest that your highness send a team of cavalry as the vanguard to catch up, and then lead the army to postpone."


    "Pursuit is sure to pursue."


    "No matter what reason Cao Cao retreated, no matter whether he laid an ambush or not, it would be a pity if he missed such a good opportunity."


    "So, we have to pursue."


    Jia Xu said: "it''s just that the way of pursuing remains to be discussed. He suggested that light cavalry should be used to cover up and kill Cao Cao. By the way, he could also find out whether Cao Cao''s retreat was true or false. "


    On hearing this, Zhang Ren echoed: "I will agree with Mr. Jia''s proposal."


    Wei Yandao: "the end will also agree."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Zhang Ren, send a team of light cavalry to pursue. After the light cavalry left, I asked Huang Hu to lead a light cavalry to follow in case of change. Then, the army will follow. "


    Liu Xiu was worried that Cao Cao might have a chain game.


    Once the ambush links, the light cavalry going to pursue is prone to problems.


    Only by arranging the Huanghu hall can we ensure that everything is safe.


    Zhang Ren said: "the end will understand!"


    Immediately, Zhang Ren and Wei Yan arranged, and Liu Xiu also called Huang Hu, let Huang Hu lead a team of light cavalry to fight, followed by the light cavalry sent by Li Zhang Ren.


    After the two cavalry teams left, Liu Xiu also followed the army to pull out.


    The army set out to march north.


    The army soon left Xinye, and then went all the way north. It was easy to win Cao Cao''s power in Nanyang County.


    At this time, everyone knew that Cao Cao had really retreated.


    Even the power of Nanyang County was lost, which was Cao Cao''s great concession.


    Liu Xiu did not hesitate any more and sent troops to cover up.


    The army entered Yingchuan county.


    This position is an important position under Cao Cao.


    For the time being, Liu Xiu set up his base camp at the border of Yingchuan county and Nanyang County.


    Time into September, the weather gradually cool.


    At this time, Ma Chao and Wen pin also went to Yingchuan county.


    Unfortunately, after the troops of Wen pin and Ma Chao were killed and joined up with Liu Xiu, Cao Cao''s troops had withdrawn from Yingchuan county and returned to Yanzhou.


    As soon as Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou, he ordered martial law.The whole line of defense, Liu Xiu''s vanguard into a quagmire, no longer as smooth as before.


    After all, Yanzhou is the birthplace of Cao Cao.


    Liu Xiu''s account of the Chinese army.


    Jia Xu came in a hurry. He entered Liu Xiu''s camp and took a seat after a salute.


    Liu Xiu asked, "Wen he, have you found out the real reason for Cao Cao''s retreat?" Liu Xiu has been inquiring about the real reason for Cao Cao''s retreat. He doesn''t know if Cao Cao is critically ill?


    Jia Xu nodded and said, "I''ve found out."


    Liu xiudao: "what''s the situation?"


    Jia Xu replied, "Your Highness, the reason why Cao Cao is so anxious to withdraw is that Xu Chu has found the miracle doctor Hua Tuo. Hua Tuo was able to cure Cao Cao''s head disease, so Cao Cao retreated. "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu suddenly understood it.


    I see!


    I found Hua Tuo.


    When Liu Xiu and Cao Cao fought, Cao Cao''s headache was already very serious.


    In this world, only Hua Tuo was proficient in surgery and could cure Cao Cao''s disease. If Cao Cao wanted Hua Tuo to treat Cao Cao, it would take a certain amount of time, so Cao Cao withdrew.


    However, to Liu Xiu''s surprise, Cao Cao was not afraid of Hua Tuo''s operation, and he really dared to accept it.


    This is unexpected.


    Liu Xiu said: "Cao Cao withdrew his troops and Yanzhou was under martial law. It seems that in a short time, we can no longer fight with Cao Cao. "


    Jia Xu solemnly said: "in fact, this is also an opportunity for your highness to stop his efforts."


    "Now in Yizhou, according to the news, it''s already a turbulent undercurrent. On the other hand, in Jiangdong area, Zhou Yu also met Huang Zhong and Tai Shici


    "Your Highness, we already have internal troubles to solve."


    "It''s the most appropriate time to strike."


    "Especially in this battle with Cao Cao, we captured Luoyang in Guanzhong and the whole Nanyang."


    "In this war, on the whole, we won."


    "It''s the most important thing to withdraw troops at this time and then focus on solving internal problems," Jia said


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "the military adviser has a point."


    "Somebody


    Liu Xiu gave the order.


    Deng Zhan came in in a hurry and saluted.


    Liu Xiu said, "please Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Wen pin, Ma Chao, Zhang Ren and Wei Yan come to discuss the matter."


    "Here it is


    Deng Zhan was ordered to go down immediately.

 Chapter 663

    After a short time, a large number of people entered the Chinese Army''s accounts.


    After the salute, take your seats.


    Liu Xiu looked at the generals under his command and said, "I just got the exact news. The reason why Cao Cao retreated from the army to defend the whole line was that Cao Cao found the miracle doctor Hua Tuo. Cao Cao''s next focus should be on the treatment of head diseases. "


    Ma Chao couldn''t wait to say: "Your Highness, Cao Cao can''t be distracted in treating headache. Now, it''s the best time to attack. Your highness, please order that the general will be willing to take the lead in attacking Cao Cao. "


    Ma Chao hated Cao Cao to the bone.


    Cao Cao killed his father and brother, which led to the decline of the Ma family.


    All this is caused by Cao Cao.


    Liu Xiu took a look at Ma Chao and said, "Meng Qi, don''t be impatient."


    "Here it is


    Ma Chao hears speech, have to obediently sit down.


    Liu Xiu continued: "there is another piece of news, Jiangdong direction, Sun Quan is also ready to move, in cooperation with Cao Cao to put pressure on us."


    "However, with taishici and Huangzhong, Jiangdong has no influence."


    "The most important news is the turmoil in Yizhou."


    "In Yizhou, unknown forces have emerged, which has shaken the hearts of Yizhou people. Up to now, we have not found the situation of the other side."


    Liu Xiu said: "at present, there is a crisis in Chu, so we need to adjust our focus. The next arrangement will be to temporarily confront Cao Cao, and then focus on internal issues. "


    Brush!


    Ma Chao''s face suddenly changed.


    He was so excited that he wanted revenge, but he didn''t expect the result in the end.


    Ma Chao''s expression became quite lost.


    Liu Xiu took a look at Ma Chao, but did not speak to him.


    Xu Shu said: "Your Highness, we will strike with Cao Cao all the way, so how can we arrange it next?"


    Liu xiudao: "the question of Yuanzhi is to the point."


    When they heard this, they all looked solemn.


    As everyone knows, Liu Xiu''s next arrangement must involve everyone''s arrangement.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on wenpin and ordered: "wenpin, listen to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Wenpin stood up and saluted.


    Liu xiudao: "you will lead the first army stationed in Luoyang to prevent Cao Cao''s attack on Guanzhong, contain Cao Cao''s westward direction and guard Guanzhong area."


    Wenpin Baoquan way: "humble duty, obey!"


    Liu xiudao: "Zhang Ren listens to the order!"


    "I''m in a humble position!"


    Zhang Ren stood up and saluted respectfully.


    Liu Xiu said: "the Legion under your command is stationed in Yingchuan County, guarding the main road to Yanzhou in the north. In the future, we will have a decisive battle with Cao Cao. This is the bridgehead to attack Cao Cao''s heart. "


    "Here it is


    Zhang Ren was ordered to give the order immediately.


    Liu Xiu said: "Wei Yan listens to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Wei Yan held his fist and saluted with expectation in his eyes.


    Previously, he served as the prefect of Nanyang County, presided over government affairs, and also cooperated with Zhang Ren.


    In fact, Wei Yan didn''t have much interest in government affairs. He wanted to fight and make contributions on the battlefield.


    Liu Xiu said: "you leave Nanyang Prefecture, into the army, as Zhang Ren deputy general."


    "Here it is


    Wei Yan responded happily.


    Although he lost his official position as the prefect of Nanyang County, he didn''t feel sorry.


    There is no official position of real power for the time being, but once it''s time to attack Cao Cao, he and Zhang Ren are the key troops. At that time, he has plenty of opportunities to make contributions.


    Liu Xiu after the general arrangement, said: "the rest of the people, etc., with me south, return to Jingzhou."


    Ma Chao did not listen to his own arrangements, he immediately said: "Your Highness, the end will request to stay in the front."


    Liu Xiu said: "there may be a war in Yizhou. You should work with Wang to deal with Yizhou."


    "Here it is


    When Ma Chao heard of the arrangement, he had to reluctantly respond.


    Liu Xiu took a look at Ma Chao and was relieved to see that Ma Chao didn''t refuse.


    The reason why Ma Chao was not allowed to stay in the front line was that he was worried that Ma Chao would be impulsive and miss things, so he took Ma Chao south.


    Next, Liu Xiu arranged other things.


    One thing is arranged, and then everyone performs their duties, and they all go down.


    However, Xu Shu stayed.


    Xu Shu said, "Your Highness, I''m going to surrender. So far, there is no specific arrangement for jaw opening. How to arrange jaw opening? "


    At the beginning, it was Xu Shu who was alone in Luoyang and persuaded Zhang Yan.


    Now that the war is over, Xu Shu has to consider Zhang Yan.


    Liu Xiu said, "invite him in!"


    As soon as Xu Shu heard this, he went to arrange it.


    Not long after, Zhang jaw entered the camp, saluted and said: "sin will Zhang jaw, meet the king of Chu."Liu Xiu said with a smile: "General Zhang, you don''t have to be modest. Since you have surrendered to our king, you are our king''s man. Considering that you have just returned, it is not appropriate to appoint you to too big an official position. If you are wronged, you will stay with me for the time being. "


    "Just then, I''m going to Yizhou."


    "At that time, it''s time for general Zhang to show his talent."


    Liu Xiu said, "General Zhang, what do you think?"


    Zhang chin Baoquan said: "at the end, I will follow the arrangement of the king of Chu."


    As for the situation under Liu Xiu''s command, Xu Shu generally told him that except for Zhao Yun, who was appointed as the head of the first army by Liu Xiu after he had been subordinated, the rest of the subordinates would follow Liu Xiu to fight and arrange their positions after they had established their meritorious deeds.


    Zhang has made preparations for this.


    Liu Xiu said: "since general Zhang is a member of the king, he doesn''t have to be formal. Next, I''m going to withdraw. You and I will go south together. "


    "To retreat?"


    Zhang was a little surprised.


    At this time, it was Liu Xiu''s chance to attack Cao Cao, and Liu Xiu wanted to retreat.


    Liu Xiu said: "Cao Cao has his own difficulties, so does his own king. The decisive battle with Cao Cao was just suppression. Now Cao Cao defends all the way, and it''s not easy to beat him. "


    "So, the next step is to solve the internal problems."


    "Wait until the internal problems are solved, and then fight Cao Cao."


    Liu Xiu made a brief remark and said, "especially what I told you just now, there is something wrong with Yizhou. Yizhou''s affairs need to be dealt with."


    Zhang jaw embraces boxing way: "the end will understand!"


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "go down!"


    "Here it is


    Open your jaw and turn back.


    Xu Shu also left.


    Liu Xiu said, "come on!"


    Deng Zhan came in again and bowed himself.


    Liu xiudao: "please Ma Chao."


    "Here it is


    Deng Zhan immediately went down to inform, not long, Ma Chao came to the camp.


    At the moment, the expression on Ma Chao''s face, there is still a trace of depression. He really didn''t want to go south. He wanted revenge and wanted to kill Cao Cao.


    Liu Xiu said, "brother, do you still have pimples in your heart?"


    At this moment, Liu Xiu calls for his elder brother.


    At this time, it''s time to speak in a personal capacity to narrow the distance between the two sides.


    After all, Liu Xiu married Ma Yunlu, Ma Chao''s brother-in-law. This relationship is the natural bond between them.

 Chapter 664

    Ma Chao looked at Liu Xiu, full of complaints, but swallowed back.


    On the one hand, he used to be the overlord in charge of one side. He knew that it was not easy for him to take charge of one side and could understand why Liu Xiu withdrew. On the other hand, Liu Xiu was his brother-in-law and his sister''s man.


    These two reasons made Ma Chao swallow back his complaints.


    But he couldn''t forget his parents'' worries.


    Ma Chao waved and said, "Your Highness, I''m fine."


    Liu Xiu said: "nothing does not mean forget the hatred, brother''s hatred, I always remember in my heart."


    "Just now, it''s not the right time."


    "Of course, I can dispatch a large army to attack Yanzhou and enter Cao Cao''s hometown."


    "The price that can be paid is bound to be great, or even both sides will be hurt."


    "In the end, it''s uncertain whether he can win Cao Cao. It''s certain that Sun Quan will benefit from it."


    "Moreover, some people in Yizhou will benefit."


    Liu Xiu stared at Ma Chao with sincere eyes and said slowly, "in the current situation, we can only take back our fists for a while. First, we can suppress Jiangdong, then we can solve the problem of Yizhou, and then attack Cao Cao."


    "If you take back your fist, you will not get revenge."


    "To take back the fist is to make it more fierce and smooth in the future."


    "I can guarantee that I will attack Cao Cao in the future. At that time, I will let my elder brother be the vanguard and take Cao Cao as revenge."


    Liu Xiu appeases Ma Chao and doesn''t want him to have a knot in his heart.


    After all, Ma Chao is a strong general under his command and Ma Yunlu''s elder brother.


    Liu Xiu has to take care of Ma Chao in both emotion and reason.


    Ma Chao is not a person who doesn''t know interest. Liu Xiu''s heart to heart conversation, of course, he can''t carry it any more and said, "Your Highness, I will understand."


    In a word, revenge is fine.


    This is Ma Chao''s bottom line.


    Liu Xiu listened to Ma Chao''s words, said: "brother can understand, that''s the best."


    Ma Chao said: "Your Highness, is the situation in Yizhou very serious?"


    Liu xiudao: "it''s really serious. When Cao Cao retreated, Yizhou had already begun to show signs of turbulence. However, we have not been able to find out the reason for that. "


    "At that time, due to the pursuit of Cao Cao, the stable situation could not be withdrawn."


    "Now that Cao Cao has gone back, we have a chance to turn around and go back."


    Liu Xiu''s eyebrows were dignified.


    Who is it?


    Who stirs the storm behind.


    Liu Xiu thought a lot and calculated carefully, but in the end he couldn''t lock it in.


    This is the most puzzling part.


    Ma Chao looked solemn and said: "Your Highness, don''t worry, this withdrawal will surely solve the problem at one stroke."


    "This is a must," Liu said


    As soon as the words changed, Liu xiudao said, "brother, do you have a happy woman now?"


    Ma Chao shook his head and said, "don''t think about it for the moment."


    In Ma Chao''s heart, what he wants is to revenge for Ma Teng. If he doesn''t revenge, he doesn''t want to get married.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "brother, taking Cao Cao for revenge is a way to comfort his father-in-law. Giving birth to children and inheriting the blood of the Ma family is also a way to comfort his father-in-law."


    "Today, there are only a few people left in the Ma family, such as the elder brother."


    "How can you stand up to your father-in-law if you don''t open branches and scatter leaves?"


    Liu Xiu patted Ma Chao on the shoulder and said, "revenge, but marriage should be paid close attention to. Both hands should be grasped, both hands should be carried out. About your marriage, I''ll let Yunlu choose for you after I return to Xiangyang. "


    Ma Chao''s mouth twitches.


    It''s clearly about the battlefield. How does it involve him.


    Ma Chao said: "Your Highness, I will consider the marriage issue."


    Liu Xiu big sleeve a whisk, way: "this is not to consider not to consider the matter, it is settled."


    "Here it is


    He had no choice but to get off the horse.


    ¡­¡­


    Yingchuan County, Yingyin county.


    Yingyin county is an important position of Yingchuan county.


    Its prosperity is no less than that of Yangzhai county.


    Because the Xunzi family in Yingchuan is here.


    The Xunzi family in Yingchuan is one of the most famous families in the world. Among the scholars in the Qing Dynasty, whether they are the Cai family, the Kuai family or even the yuan family in Jingzhou, they are hard to match.


    The rise of the Xunzi family lies in the morale of emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty.


    At that time, Xun Shu was respected as the king of Xun, and even the great Confucians Li Ying and Li Gu were respected as teachers.


    Xun Shu''s eight sons, with outstanding talents and abilities, are called "Xun''s eight dragons".


    Among Xun Shu''s eight sons, Xun Shuang was the most famous. He was not interested in fame and wealth, and he did not practice flashiness. At that time, people respected Xun Shuang: "Xun''s eight dragons are unparalleled in kindness and wisdom!"


    From this, we can see Xun Shuang''s fame.


    At that time, Xun Shuang was juxtaposed with Zheng Xuan, Ma Rong and others.Among the younger generation of the Xunzi family, there are Xunzi, Xunzi, Xunyou and other talented people.


    In terms of family power, the Xunzi family can not be ranked.


    However, on the influence of the family and the prestige of Qingliu, the Xunzi family is first-class.


    Because of the existence of the Xunzi family, Yingyin county is quite prosperous, and the city wall is strong.


    After Cao Cao withdrew, the army was stationed here.


    Then, troops were stationed in Yangzhai County, Linying county and other places to coordinate with Cao Cao''s army to ensure the safety of Yingchuan county.


    For Cao Jun, Yingchuan was the most important defense line.


    Yingchuan County borders Luoyang, Nanyang County and Yanzhou, so its geographical location is very important.


    Once Yingchuan county falls completely, Yanzhou will be in danger.


    So Cao Cao was stationed here.


    Inside the city, barracks.


    Cao Cao is receiving Hua Tuo''s needling.


    After a lot of acupuncture and moxibustion, Cao Cao''s headache recovered a lot.


    Hua Tuo said: "King Wei, your headache is more and more frequent. Recently, acupuncture has been unable to suppress it. I''m afraid it will be very dangerous if we delay further. "


    Cao Cao said, "doctor Hua, wait a few days. We retreat to Yingyin county and confront Liu Xiu''s army. As long as the situation stabilizes, I will accept your treatment. "


    "Alas..."


    Hua Tuo shook his head and sighed.


    During this period of time, Hua Tuo was in touch with Cao Cao, but he really felt the charm of Cao Cao.


    Today''s Cao Cao is quite different from that in history.


    Although Cao Cao was also in a high position, he did not have the situation of dominating the world in history. He was even more threatened by Liu Xiu. Therefore, in history, the suspicion of being paranoid was not so heavy.


    Cao Cao said with a smile, "doctor Hua, go down and have a rest. It''s hard for you."


    Hua Tuo said, "the king of Wei, please make up your mind as soon as possible."


    He put away the medicine box and went down.


    During this time, Hua Tuo was in the army, treating not only Cao Cao, but also the wounded soldiers.


    Under Hua Tuo''s treatment, many wounded soldiers who needed surgery were cured by him.


    It was also this situation that made Cao Cao believe in Hua Tuo.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A rapid sound of footsteps came from outside the camp.


    Cheng Yu, wearing a black robe and Jinxian crown, walks in with a smile on her face. Standing in the tent, he arched his hand and said, "congratulations to the king of Wei, congratulations to the king of Wei."


    Cao Cao said with a smile: "Zhong De Gong, where does joy come from?"


    Cheng Yu replied, "Liu Xiu has withdrawn!"


    "Ah


    Cao Cao was surprised to hear the news.


    You know, Liu Xiu has occupied a great advantage in this war. How could he withdraw suddenly?

 Chapter 665

    Cao Cao was very surprised and asked, "how could it be possible that Liu Xiu would withdraw his troops?"


    Cheng Yu explained: "the temporary news is that Sun Quan of Jiangdong has moved, threatening Xiangyang of Jingzhou."


    After hearing this, Cao Cao did not ease his wrinkles.


    Jiangdong Sun Quan?


    In Cao Cao''s opinion, Sun Quan could only contain Liu Xiu.


    In particular, Liu Xiu sent troops to guard Jingzhou.


    Even if Sun Quan launched a large-scale attack, Liu Xiu could hold on. Liu Xiu should not simply withdraw because of Sun Quan.


    As the saying goes, the right of the two evils is the least, and the right of the two benefits is the most important.


    Liu Xiu''s attack on Yanzhou is the most important.


    As long as Liu Xiu''s troops in Jingzhou blocked the Jiangdong army, even if they were at a temporary disadvantage, it would not affect anything.


    Liu Xiu''s victory in the north is enough to offset these disadvantages.


    Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhong De, there must be some news we haven''t inquired into. Let the people lurking in Xiangyang inquire into the news as soon as possible."


    Cheng Yu nodded: "I understand!"


    After a pause, Cheng Yu said, "King Wei, Liu Xiu has withdrawn, leaving two armies stationed in Luoyang and Yan County, which borders Yingchuan county and Nanyang County."


    "For the time being, the other side will not send troops."


    "Our threat, for now."


    "The old minister thinks that the king of Wei can consider a radical cure of headache."


    During this time, Cheng Yu saw that Hua Tuo was treating the wounded soldiers in the army. He opened the intestines of many seriously injured soldiers and finally sewed up the wounds of the soldiers. He was completely convinced.


    Cheng Yu has no doubt about Hua Tuo''s medical skills.


    Now, it''s time for Cao Cao to be put on the agenda.


    Cao Cao said: "good!"


    "Somebody


    Cao Cao gave a direct order.


    Xu Chu came in and saluted.


    Cao Cao said: "Zhongkang, please Xunyou, caoren, Yujin, Lidian and Yang xiulai to discuss business in the tent."


    "Here it is


    Xu Chu was ordered to step down immediately.


    After a short time, all the people entered the camp and took their seats.


    Cao Cao glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "just after Zhongde Gong got the news, Liu Xiu stopped marching after he arrived in Yingchuan county. Instead, he sent troops to Luoyang and Yan county respectively, and Liu Xiu led his troops to retreat."


    "The reason for Liu Xiu''s withdrawal is still under investigation."


    "And our army can take this opportunity to breathe."


    "At the same time, I also want to take advantage of this time to let the Chinese miracle doctor treat headache."


    Cao Cao said: "during the treatment of headache, I certainly can''t take charge of government affairs, so I don''t have time to deal with things. Cheng Yu was in charge of the government affairs, Xun you was in charge of the military affairs, and the civil and military forces in the army were all subject to their arrangement. Do you understand? "


    "I understand!"


    When they heard the words, they all nodded.


    When Cheng Yu and Xun you looked at each other, they were still under certain pressure to preside over government affairs and military affairs.


    However, it''s not a big problem for the two.


    Cao Cao looked at the people under his command and asked, "is there any problem?"


    People shake their heads one after another. In the important time of Cao Cao''s treatment of head disease, everyone has to put things on hold. Cao Cao''s condition is the most critical.


    Seeing that there was nothing wrong with them, Cao Cao waved them back, leaving Cheng Yu and Xun you behind.


    If you leave them, you have to explain them.


    Otherwise, in case of emergency, it will be difficult for them.


    Cao Cao first said all kinds of things, let two people have the bottom of their hearts.


    Finally, Cao Cao took out his sword.


    Cao Cao''s sword is a sword relying on heaven. It cuts iron like mud and blows hair to break hair. He took Yitian sword and said, "Zhongde Gong, this is the king''s sword. Take it."


    "Before the king recovers, you will act with your sword."


    "If anyone disobeys the order, he can do it first and then."


    "Even if the king''s descendants do not agree, they can be executed first and then executed."


    Cao Cao''s serious face gives Cheng Yu the greatest power.


    In fact, with Cheng Yu''s prestige, in the army and the imperial court, almost no one will violate Cheng Yu''s orders. But Cao Cao''s son is a special group, and Cheng Yu may not be able to make him obey.


    With Yitian sword, the situation is different.


    Cheng Yu took the sword and said, "I will live up to the king''s trust."


    Cao Cao nodded and said, "you two are the right and left arms of the king. When the king can''t handle government affairs, you should cooperate sincerely. Suppose, suppose that I can''t afford to be ill... "


    Cheng Yu said immediately, "King Hong Fu is the best. He is bound to recover."


    Cao Cao said, "Hua Tuo has said it, but he is not sure, so there is a risk."


    Cheng Yu hears speech, immediately silent.


    Craniotomy to remove foreign bodies, such a thing unheard of, never seen.It''s really quite dangerous.


    No one can guarantee what the final result will be?


    For a moment, the expressions on Cheng Yu''s and Xun you''s faces were rare and dignified.


    Seeing this, Cao Cao said with a smile: "what kind of scenes have you never seen since I have been in the battlefield for decades? It''s just a craniotomy to remove the foreign body. No wonder. I''m sure the king will pass by. "


    Cheng Yu nodded solemnly.


    Cao Cao continued: "if the king does not die of illness, you have three things to do."


    Cheng Yu said, "please show it to the king of Wei."


    Cao Cao put up his right index finger and said, "first, restrain the officials, and do not hurt the life of the great doctor Hua."


    "Here it is


    Cheng Yu heard the speech and nodded.


    In the heart of his parents, Hua Tuo took the risk to cure Cao Cao, which in itself was a big risk. Hua Tuo has done his best to do so.


    Cao Cao continued: "second, remove Cao Zhang''s military power."


    With these words, Cao Cao took out an imperial edict and handed it to Cheng Yu, who was already holding the sword.


    Cheng Yu a listen, immediately understand.


    He took it seriously and nodded heavily.


    Cao Pi Zhang and Cao Pi Cao did not fight for power.


    Cao Cao then said, "third, you, Gong Da, Wen Ruo and others should try their best to help pi''er to gain a firm foothold. Although pi''er was a little inferior in military strategy, he was intelligent and modest, and could help


    Cheng Yu said, "King Wei, please stop talking. You''re going to get through this with doctor Hua. "


    Listening to Cao Cao''s words is like listening to his last words.


    Cheng Yu''s heart is in a mess, very uncomfortable.


    Cao Cao said with a smile: "life, old age, illness and death are common sense. Of course, you can rest assured that I will not die. I want to live another 50 years to rule the country and eliminate the chaos. "


    Cheng Yu and Xun you all smile when they listen to this.


    This is the charm of Cao Cao.


    Even though he was in prison, Cao Cao still had enough confidence and courage.


    Cao Cao said, "I have told you all about it. Well, you go down, and then ask the doctor to come in. "


    "Here it is


    Cheng Yu and Xun you should go down and bow down to leave.

 Chapter 666

    Hua Tuo entered the camp and bowed to Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao said, "there is no need to be polite to the Chinese miracle doctor. Next, my safety will be given to the Chinese miracle doctor."


    Hua Tuo said, "I will do my best."


    Cao Cao said, "doctor Hua, what should I do next?"


    Hua Tuo said with a smile, "the king of Wei can rest assured that everything will be left to the old man."


    He took out his own Ma Fei powder and wine, and said, "prime minister, this is Ma Fei powder made by Lao Jiu. After you drink it with wine, Lao Jiu will treat you."


    Cao Cao did not doubt that he, a swallow Ma Fei San, and then drink to swallow.


    Ma Fei powder into the body, Cao Cao said with a smile: "doctor Hua, this is nothing?"


    He felt his change and felt nothing strange.


    Hua Tuo said, "king of Wei, how can you be so quick? It''s expected to work in about a quarter of an hour. "


    Cao Cao nodded and waited quietly.


    As time went by, Cao Cao suddenly felt that he was numb and his body was not obedient.


    "Come on, come on, come on, it works."


    Stuttering words came from Cao Cao.


    In Cao Cao''s eyes, there was a look of surprise,


    mabeisan worked.


    Aware of this, Cao Cao suddenly had more trust in Hua Tuo.


    Opportunity!


    This is his chance to survive.


    However, Cao Cao was also worried, because even Hua Tuo could not guarantee that he would be 100% sure. How could he guarantee that he would survive such a thing?


    Cao Cao stammered: "doctor Hua, please, thank you, thank you."


    Hua Tuo said, "I will do my best."


    Hua Tuo is still waiting.


    Because the efficacy of Mabei powder is still spreading little by little.


    With the effect of Ma Fei San spread to Cao Cao''s whole body, Cao Cao''s face was numb, only the pupil still had a look, but Cao Cao was lying on the bed motionless.


    At this time, Cao Cao was like a dead man.


    The only difference is that Cao Cao''s heart still beats and he is still alive.


    Hua Tuo took a deep breath. He began to act.


    Hua Tuo didn''t use the knife immediately. Instead, he took the rope and tied Cao Cao to his bed.


    The advantage of this is to avoid the shaking of Cao Cao''s body.


    After all this, Hua Tuo sat behind Cao Cao''s head and took out a slender knife.


    The blade is very thin and the blade is not long.


    This knife is somewhat similar to the scalpel of later generations.


    Hua Tuo quickly shaved off all Cao Cao''s hair with a knife and turned Cao Cao into a bald ladle.


    Then he stroked Cao Cao''s head and felt the texture of the skull.


    A moment later, Hua Tuo cut the knife decisively.


    "Yes


    The blade cuts into the scalp and tears the skin.


    Hua Tuo''s knife was very accurate. When he went down with one knife, he had the same texture as the skull.


    At the moment, Hua Tuo''s heart is beating all the time, but Hua Tuo is a great master of martial arts, and his martial arts skills have already entered the hall. Although he is old, he is not affected by his age at all. He is still extremely agile.


    Hua Tuo smoothly removed the skull and began to use the knife.


    At the moment, Hua Tuo, no matter in speed, or in vision, shows the skill of an extraordinary person.


    He picked up the knife and quickly found out the cause of Cao Cao.


    After removing the foreign body from Cao Cao''s head, Hua Tuo was a little relieved and began to restore Cao Cao''s skull.


    This process seems smooth.


    In fact, Hua Tuo was not at peace.


    Little by little, Hua Tuo began to sew and sprinkle the golden wound medicine.


    This medicine is a kind of Jinchuang medicine made by Hua Tuo. It can activate the muscles and activate the skin in the shortest time, and make the skull recover as soon as possible.


    After all this, Hua Tuo was relieved.


    It''s all settled at last.


    Hua Tuo sat on one side, waiting quietly.


    Because he gave Cao Cao the use of Ma Fei powder is more powerful, at least need about a quarter of an hour, Cao Cao can start a little bit of recovery.


    Time goes by little.


    There was silence in the camp.


    All of a sudden, Cao Cao blinked, his eyes suddenly moved.


    A little bit of pain made Cao Cao more and more happy.


    After seeing the change of Cao Cao, Hua Tuo said, "King Wei, don''t talk. Next time, you should try to speak less. When eating, you can only drink porridge, not hard food, not hard teeth. The king of Wei blinked when he understood. "


    Cao Cao blinked to show that he understood.


    At this time, Cao Cao gradually recovered.When the effect of Ma Fei San on his body passed, Cao Cao''s pain became more and more clear.


    Because the trauma on the top of the head is still there.


    On the forehead bean big sweat drops, drop by drop dropped down.


    He was sweating, and his hands were dragging the sheets, enduring waves of pain.


    Seeing this, Hua Tuo said, "King Wei, the reason why I''m tied to you is that when I used to use the knife, I had to make sure you couldn''t move. On the other hand, it is also to prevent you from shaking violently now. "


    "You are most dangerous, on the first day."


    "After the first day, there will be no more problems."


    "King Wei, the root of the disease has been removed. Now it depends on the willpower of the king Wei."


    Hua Tuo said, "please give the king of Wei great perseverance."


    Cao Cao blinked, but he didn''t make a sound. He still endured.


    At this time, Hua Tuo came out of the camp. When he came out of the camp, Cheng Yu, Xun you, Xu Chu, Cao Ren and others all looked at Hua Tuo one by one, with a look of expectation in their eyes.


    Cao Cao is the backbone of these people.


    If Cao Cao is here, they will not panic.


    Hua Tuo said with a smile, "everyone, everything is going well. The next first day, it''s a crucial first day. As long as we get through today, the risk will be very low. "


    "Now, you should always guard the king of Wei."


    "As for food, we can only give the king of Wei meat porridge, not hard food."


    "You go in, but remember, don''t disturb the king of Wei."


    Hua Tuo simply said what he should pay attention to, and then went down to have a rest. He was busy for a while, but also tired.


    Once, Hua Tuo dissected a private skull.


    But there is a big difference between the dead and the living.


    This success greatly increased Hua Tuo''s confidence.


    Hua Tuo went down to have a rest. When he woke up, it was already dark. Hua Tuo got up and left the camp. After eating, he came to Cao Cao''s camp.


    Outside the camp, it was Xu Chu who was in charge of defense and didn''t let the people below disturb Cao Cao.


    Inside, Cheng Yu is standing by.


    When Hua Tuo entered, Cheng Yu quickly got up and saluted.


    Hua Tuo lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Cheng doesn''t have to be like this. Sit down!"


    They sat down, separated by Cao Cao.


    Cheng Yu said: "after the king of Wei had some porridge and soup in the evening, he couldn''t endure and finally fell asleep."


    Hua Tuo nodded and said, "that''s good."


    Two people whispered words, are guarding the side of Cao Cao.


    Late at night, Cao Ren came to replace Cheng Yu and Hua Tuo. Then they both went down to have a rest.


    After midnight, Hua Tuo had gone to bed.


    Suddenly, the curtain of his tent rolled up and Cao Ren rushed in directly.


    Cao Ren said in a loud voice: "doctor Hua, quick, quick, the king of Wei has a fever, quick!"


    At the moment, Cao Ren is extremely nervous.


    Hua Tuo had a rest in the evening. He was always sleeping in peace. He was afraid of Cao Cao''s accident. On hearing Cao Ren''s words, he quickly got up and followed Cao Ren to Cao Cao''s army tent.


    At this time, Cao Zhang was wetting the water with a handkerchief to relieve Cao Cao''s fever.


    Hua Tuo went up. He sat down beside Cao Cao and touched Cao Cao''s forehead. It was very hot.

 Chapter 667

    Then he touched Cao Cao''s neck and chest, which were all hot.


    Hua Tuo''s face became dignified when he noticed it.


    Sure enough, Cao Cao had a high fever.


    This is the most dangerous time.


    Once Cao Cao''s fever subsides, there will be no problem. If Cao Cao can''t, it will be dangerous.


    Hua Tuo glanced at the crowd and said, "Mr. Cheng Yu, stay here. Everyone else will go out."


    "I have to stay," Cao said


    Hua Tuo said, "you don''t have to stay. Please go out."


    Cao Zhang plans to speak, but is stopped by Cheng Yu. Finally, Cao Zhang is persuaded to leave by Cheng Yu.


    Soon only Cheng Yu and Hua Tuo were left in the camp.


    Cheng Yu said, "doctor Hua, what do you want me to do now?"


    Hua Tuo said, "Mr. Cheng, prepare for strong liquor. The stronger the liquor, the better."


    "Good!"


    Cheng Yu immediately ordered to go down.


    After a while, jars of liquor were brought in.


    Hua Tuo nodded. He opened Cao Cao''s coat, then took a handkerchief and wet it in the liquor, and spread it on Cao Cao''s forehead, chest, neck and other places.


    Hua Tuo was very careful and wiped it over and over again.


    Cheng Yu looks in the eye, in the heart some doubts.


    What is this to do?


    Although Cheng Yu is curious, she doesn''t ask. She just looks at it quietly.


    Time flies away.


    An hour passed in a flash.


    At this time, Cao Cao''s breathing began to calm down, hot forehead and body, also began to gradually fade.


    "Hoo


    Long Hua Tuo sighed and said, "it''s OK."


    For an hour, Hua Tuo''s heart was tense and worried all the time.


    Since Hua Tuo treated Cao Cao, his life has been tied to Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao was born, so was he.


    If Cao Cao dies, so does he.


    Cheng Yu arched his hand and said, "doctor Hua has worked hard. Doctor Hua, is the situation of the king of Wei stable? "


    Hua Tuo said: "there should be no problem. In the present situation, we just need to have a rest. We should not pay attention to Wei Wang''s spicy food during this period. "


    Cheng Yu said, "doctor Hua, don''t worry. I will arrange it properly."


    Hua Tuo said with a smile, "it''s my duty."


    Cheng Yu nodded, called for someone, and sent Hua Tuo down to rest.


    After Hua Tuo left, Cao Zhang, Xun you, Xu Chu and others came in and looked at Cao Cao on the bed with concern.


    These people are looking forward to Cao Cao''s early health.


    After Cao Cao was treated, he was always lying to recover. As time went by, Cao Cao''s injury began to recover.


    Seven days passed in a flash.


    These seven days, Cao Cao''s injury is better than one day.


    Even now there is still a little pain, but the wound has scab, has not thought of Cao Cao to deal with things.


    Cao Cao called Hua Tuo.


    He wants to thank Hua Tuo.


    Cao Cao said, "doctor Hua, if you need anything, please come up with it. I will never refuse it."


    Hua Tuo shook his head and said, "it''s our duty to cure and save people."


    Cao Cao said: "it''s our duty to cure the disease and save the people, but the great doctor Hua is taking great risks to cure the disease for me. Once there is a slight mistake, the Chinese miracle doctor will also be in danger. The Chinese miracle doctor can do this step, and he can be worthy of the four words of benevolence. "


    Hua Tuo said modestly, "the king of Wei praised me falsely."


    Cao Cao looks at Hua Tuo and his mind turns.


    At this moment, in his heart, he wanted to keep Hua Tuo and let him use him.


    Although his headache has been cured for the time being, no one can guarantee that in case of any mistakes?


    So it''s the most important thing to keep Hua Tuo.


    Cao Cao said: "Chinese medicine is unique. Can you stay with me?"


    Hua Tuo shook his head and said, "King Wei, an old man in the mountains, is not used to being an official in the court. Moreover, the old man has to walk in all directions and do his best to distract the suffering people in the world. "


    Cao Cao''s eyes brightened when he heard this.


    If Hua Tuo is determined to leave, Cao Cao has no choice.


    However, in order to cure the common people, Cao Cao had a way to keep Hua Tuo at his side.


    Cao Cao looked respectful and said, "I deeply admire the great doctor Hua for treating people all over the world. It is admirable that the doctor is kind-hearted and the Chinese miracle doctor has the heart to cure the common people all over the world. However, how many people can Huashen doctor cure with his own efforts? "


    Hua Tuo said solemnly, "I will do my best."


    "Do you know Zhang Zhongjing?" Cao Cao asked


    Hua Tuo said, "I know!"


    For Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo naturally knows that he is the same doctor as Zhang Zhongjing, and Zhang Zhongjing''s medical skills are quite exquisite.Cao Cao said: "Zhang Zhongjing established Xiangyang hospital in Xiangyang, then recruited many doctors, and began to implement it in Jingzhou and even in the south, saving countless people."


    "Although, as the president of the hospital, Zhang Zhongjing did not go to various places to save people."


    "However, countless people have been treated because of the Xiangyang hospital set up by Zhang Zhongjing."


    "As the saying goes, one man''s strength is short."


    "Since doctor Hua has the heart to cure the common people in the world, why don''t you stay with me and go back to Jizhou with me?"


    In Cao Cao''s eyes, he looked forward to it, and assured that "the Chinese miracle doctor will return to Jizhou with our king, then our king will also spare no effort to help the Chinese miracle doctor, set up a hospital, and promote it according to the model of Xiangyang hospital."


    After hearing this, Hua Tuo had a look of hesitation on his face.


    As a doctor, he knew about Zhang Zhongjing.


    In addition, Hua Tuo''s heart was also a little envious, because after Zhang Zhongjing set up Xiangyang hospital, both the conditions of medical research and the treatment and rescue of patients had been greatly improved.


    In this respect, Hua Tuo is incomparable.


    Cao Cao continued: "doctor Hua, it''s not right for me to say something. Although the operation method of the Chinese miracle doctor is magical, it is hard for most people to accept. "


    "It''s the so-called, body hair skin, by the parents, dare not damage."


    "The medical skill of the Chinese miracle doctor is not just to use a knife on the body."


    "Doctor Hua, only my king can help you develop your medical skills."


    Cao Cao''s eyes twinkled with light and said, "doctor Hua, what are you hesitating about? Don''t you feel that staying here restricts your freedom and makes you uncomfortable. Or maybe the Chinese miracle doctor''s intention to save people is false. In fact, he is unwilling to help the king or benefit the people. "


    On hearing this, Hua Tuo said hastily, "the king of Wei misunderstood me. I''m just not used to it."


    Cao Cao said, "if you stay here, you will soon get used to it."


    Hua Tuo looked at Cao Cao''s sincere request and thought of his own situation. It was really difficult to dissect the body. However, with the support of Cao Cao, it would be different.


    After thinking for a moment, Cao Cao made up his mind.


    Hua Tuo arched his hand and said, "I am willing to serve the king of Wei."


    "Good!"


    When Cao Cao heard the speech, his face was full of smiles.


    It''s done!


    At present, Cao Cao can''t wait to discuss with Hua Tuo. Hua Tuo''s stay means that Cao Cao also has a truly artistic doctor, which is beneficial to Cao Cao.

 Chapter 668

    Xiangyang, Chu palace.


    Liu Xiu led his troops back to the palace.


    When the army returned to the barracks, the generals all performed their duties.


    Pang Tong, Jia Xu and others came to the house.


    In the palace.


    Liu Xiu, Yi Ji, Kuai Liang, Jia Xu, Pang Tong and Deng Zhan all took their seats in the hall.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes swept over the crowd and finally fell on Kuai Liang, saying: "zirou, what''s the situation of Chu state during the period of going north?"


    Kuai Liang said: "report back to the king of Chu, all the grain this year has entered the Treasury."


    "According to statistics, this year''s grain has doubled that of last year."


    "In terms of grain, our country has enough."


    "But on the other hand, the border confrontation between Chu and Wu happened from time to time, and the situation was somewhat unstable."


    "In addition, the situation in Yizhou is a bit strange. "I have arranged for people to go to investigate, but there is no news yet."


    Kuai Liang gave a general idea.


    At present, the state of Chu is prosperous on the whole.


    There are only local conflicts.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "it''s normal for the border conflict between Chu and Wu. It''s just something in Yizhou. Can you check it out? "


    At this point, Liu Xiu''s face suddenly cooled down.


    The sound became heavy.


    When fighting with Cao Cao at the front line, Jia Xu told him that there was something wrong with Yizhou.


    But up to now, there is no concrete result.


    What''s going on?


    It''s quite strange that we can''t find out the result in such a long time.


    Kuai Liang replied, "the king of Chu has received news that the Bo people on the southwest border of Yizhou have made trouble. These Bo people have attacked everywhere and attacked many places."


    "However, the Bo people are quite cunning."


    "Even if Huo Jun and others sent troops, there was no definite result."


    "Besides the Bo people, there are also barbarians who make trouble."


    "After deliberation, the officials thought that someone was behind the instigation, or even secretly directing."


    "It''s just that we don''t have any news yet."


    Kuai Liang said: "the king of Chu, in the southwest of Yizhou, there are poor mountains and rivers everywhere, and there are rugged mountains and roads everywhere. It is difficult for our army to reach. This position is really difficult to handle. "


    After listening, Liu Xiu nodded slightly.


    Liu Xiu also had a general understanding of the location of Bo people.


    This area has been the direction of Yibin City in the future.


    These areas are indeed mountainous, especially in the Bo People''s area which was still slash and burn farming more than 1000 years ago, there was no development.


    Such areas are worse indeed.


    Before that, Liu Xiu had led troops to Jiaozhou to attack Liu Bei.


    The environment in Jiaozhou is also very bad.


    However, the bad environment of Jiaozhou is not caused by the terrain, but more by the weather.


    If you go to Jiaozhou at the right time, it''s not a big problem.


    However, in rugged mountainous areas, it is very difficult in summer and winter. In the spring and Autumn period, although the sky is high and the air is cool, the topography remains unchanged, which still makes it difficult for the army to March.


    The problem of Yizhou was gradually solved by the gradual development of Yizhou in successive dynasties.


    But now, it''s difficult for Liu Xiu.


    For example, under the rule of Sun Quan of Jiangdong, the terrain of Shanyue people and Jiangdong is already quite good.


    However, Sun Quan had to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to solve the problem of Jiangdong. Rao is so. From time to time, there will be disturbances by Shanyue people in Jiangdong.


    After Liu Xiu had the bottom of his mind, he looked at Deng Zhan and asked, "Deng Zhan, is there any news from the royal guards?"


    Deng Zhandao said: "the news of Lord Kuai comes from the royal guards."


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    It seems that the current news is the latest news.


    Liu Xiu looked at Jia Xu and said, "Mr. Wen he, what do you think of Bo people and barbarians in Yizhou?"


    Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and his eyes were shining.


    He thought all the time on his way back.


    He had some ideas in his mind.


    Jia Xu said: "king of Chu, I have the following three ideas about the situation in Yizhou."


    Liu xiudao: "say!"


    Jia Xu replied, "first, Sun Quan is the most likely one."


    "During the turmoil in Yizhou, Sun Quan, together with him, also took action. We have to say that Sun Quan had no suspicious place."


    "In particular, Sun Quan and the state of Chu were hostile."


    "Although the relationship between Sun Quan and the state of Chu is somewhat complicated, Sun Quan always wanted to avenge his father, so Sun Quan always wanted to avenge his father.""In particular, the deaths of Zhang Dan, Huang Gai and others made Sun Quan feel like a knot in his heart."


    "Sun Quan had been dormant before."


    "Either to please the king of Chu, or to please Cao Cao, in short, to please both sides."


    "Now that Sun Quan has a certain strength, or that Sun Quan''s arrangement is in place, it''s reasonable for him to send troops to wrestle with the king of Chu."


    Jia Xu said: "therefore, the first suspicion of Laochen is Sun Quan."


    So, everyone nodded.


    All his faces showed approval, because Jia Xu''s analysis was reasonable.


    Wu Guoxiang is adjacent to Chu Guoxiang.


    Under such circumstances, Wu was always hostile to Chu.


    Second, Liu Xiu nodded


    Jia Xu replied, "second, what I suspect is Cao Cao."


    "I just doubt Cao Cao, but there are also contradictions."


    "There has always been a battle between the king of Chu and Cao Cao, and Cao Cao has also been laying out his plans. He wants to place the pieces in the state of Chu to further inquire about the news."


    "It''s just that Cao Cao has never been successful in Jingzhou."


    "But Yizhou is different. Yizhou has a vast land and few people. There are countless mountains and forests."


    "There are many barbarians living in these places."


    "It is also possible for Cao Cao to arrange people to go there and then persuade the barbarians to make trouble."


    "However, the contradiction of this news is that Cao Cao actually withdrew his troops. If Cao Cao knew that the barbarians would make trouble, he should not withdraw after he got the news. "


    "Of course, another reason for Cao Cao''s withdrawal this time was that Cao Cao was seriously ill and he also found the miracle doctor Hua Tuo."


    "So it''s normal for Cao Cao to retreat."


    Jia Xu said: "so this analysis, Cao Cao is also suspected, but the suspicion is relatively small."


    Jia Xu never despised Cao Cao.


    Jia Xu once served under Cao Cao, and even fought against Cao Cao.


    Jia Xu admired Cao Cao''s methods and strategies, because Cao Cao was really powerful.


    If Cao Cao had any arrangement, he would be able to get by.


    After hearing this, everyone agreed with Jia Xu''s analysis.


    Cao Cao has doubts.


    There is no doubt about this.


    People began to discuss the possibility of Cao Cao.


    After listening to everyone''s opinions, Liu Xiu said, "Mr. Wenhe, what about the third?"


    Jia Xu looked solemn and said, "the third possibility is Liu Bei."


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, his pupils shrank.


    In Liu Xiu''s eyes, there was a touch of accident, which was really out of his medical care.


    Liu Bei?


    Could it be Liu Bei?

 Chapter 669

    Liu Xiu was too impressed with Liu Bei.


    When they were in Jingzhou, Liu Xiu and Liu Bei entangled with each other too much.


    In the past, when Liu Bei was in Xinye, he once supported Liu Qi, intended to compete with Liu Xiu, but finally failed.


    Liu Xiu and Liu Bei go to war. Liu Bei''s troops are at the foot of the city. When he reaches Xiangyang, Zhang Fei is captured. Finally, Zhang Fei dies in front of Liu Bei, and Guan Yu is killed to cover Liu Bei''s retreat.


    When Liu Bei arrived in Jiaozhou, he failed again.


    It can be said that Liu Xiu cut off the road of Liu Bei''s rise.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice, "Wenhe, why?"


    Jia Xu said: "my reason is that when I attacked Jiaozhou, I defeated Liu Bei, but in the end, I didn''t catch him. Liu Bei is missing. This is the reason for suspecting Liu Bei. "


    "You know, there is Zhuge Liang around Liu Bei."


    "ZHUGE Liang is as famous as Shiyuan. Such a talent will never be unknown all the time."


    "Over the years, there has been no news from Liu Bei."


    "So Lao Jiu concluded that the situation in Yizhou was probably planned by Zhuge Liang behind the scenes."


    Jia Xu said: "in other words, Liu Bei may have taken in the barbarians and Bo people in Yizhou these years, otherwise they would not have sent troops."


    Liu Xiu frowned slightly after listening.


    Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang!


    It''s interesting. If it''s really two people, it''s a chance to eradicate them at one stroke.


    Liu xiudao: "what else do wen he think?"


    Jia Xu said: "what I can think of has been put forward. For the rest, I don''t have any more thoughts."


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    He looked at the others and asked, "what do you think of Mr. Jia''s analysis?"


    Pang Tong said: "king of Chu, after listening to the analysis of Jia Junshi, I still have a conjecture."


    Liu xiudao: "what speculation?"


    Now it''s time to analyze the situation and try to find out the possible reasons.


    Pang Tong speculated that it was the most suitable one.


    Pang Tong said, "since Liu Bei is suspicious, what about Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu? The king of Chu seized Yizhou by powerful means. For these two people, it also has a great impact. "


    Liu Xiu said directly: "this possibility is relatively low. After all, they are still in my hands."


    Pang Tong also agreed with Liu Xiu''s analysis, but he only put forward his opinions.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came outside the hall.


    The soldier looked nervous. After entering the hall, he knelt down on one knee and clasped his fist and said, "inform the king of Chu that the barbarians and Bo people in southern Yizhou revolted on a large scale. General Chen Zhi led the army to calm down and judge. Finally, he was defeated and returned to Chengdu."


    Brush!


    Liu Xiu''s face suddenly changed.


    Chen Dao is defeated!


    As the chief General of the army, Chen Dao is very good at using troops.


    The most important thing is that Chen is accompanied by a military adviser, Huo Jun.


    Although Huo Jun is young, he has gone through many wars since he followed Liu Xiu, and finally he became the Sixth Army''s commander steadily.


    Even Chen Dao and Huo Jun were defeated.


    That''s a little serious.


    Liu Xiu asked, "have you ever inquired about the Bo people and the barbarians?"


    The soldier said, "not for the time being!"


    "Pa!"


    Liu Xiu slapped himself on the desk, his face livid.


    Even the army has been defeated, but we haven''t got any information about the barbarians and Bo people.


    What''s the situation?


    In a way, it''s already a sign of incompetence.


    "You step back!"


    Liu xiuphen asked, the soldiers quickly backed down.


    At the moment, a person in the main hall was dignified.


    These people are old people who follow Liu Xiu. They are familiar with Liu Xiu. Most of the time, Liu Xiu is easy to talk and get along with.


    When Liu Xiu directly changed his face and got angry, it was still rare.


    Today, Liu Xiu is directly angry.


    It''s serious.


    Jia Xu looks normal. He''s old and used to wind and rain. He doesn''t worry about this.


    Jia Xu said: "king of Chu, after listening to the news reported by the soldiers, I still have a guess."


    "Say it


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice.


    Jia Xu said: "since the accident in Yizhou, there has been no clear news. Even if the barbarians and the Bo people are located in remote places and in high mountains, they are not easy to crusade, but they should not be so. "


    "I wonder if Chen Dao and Liu Bei are already on the line."


    "If Chen Dao has the intention to conceal it, it will be difficult for either Liu Ba, the governor of Yizhou, or Huo Jun, the military adviser, to get specific information."


    "Moreover, Chen Dao is Liu Bei''s former subordinate after all.""If I were Zhuge Liang, I would certainly add this factor to my plan."


    Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw, his eyes shining.


    When he thinks about things, he naturally thinks about the worst possible.


    There is such a possibility.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu''s face was even more gloomy. He didn''t know the news and the situation, so it was difficult to judge.


    As a historical traveler, Liu Xiu believes that Chen Dao is credible.


    Such a loyal and brave man will never betray again.


    After all, Liu Xiu agreed to Chen Dao''s terms and gave Liu Bei''s wife to Chen Dao for protection.


    However, as a monarch, Liu Xiu has reason to suspect.


    Did Chen Dao know about Yizhou, but did not report it? Does Zhuge Liang send someone to contact him, while Chen Dao has reservations?


    Liu Xiunao constantly thinking.


    A moment later, Liu Xiu ordered: "Deng Zhan!"


    "Yes


    Deng Zhan stepped forward and saluted.


    As the leader of the royal guards, Deng Zhan hopes that the royal guards can be reused.


    This time, it''s also an opportunity for the royal guards.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "you immediately send the royal guards to Huo Jun and ask him to pay close attention to Chen Dao''s situation. At the same time, let Huo Jun know that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang may be hiding in Yizhou, and let him deal with it carefully. "


    "Here it is


    Deng Zhan held his fist and then returned to his seat.


    Liu Xiu also ordered: "take a rest for half a day, and then Pang Tong and Jia Xu will follow me to Yizhou."


    "Wait a minute, King Chu!"


    Jia Xu opened his mouth, but he stopped him directly.


    Liu xiudao: "is there anything for the military adviser to say?"


    Jia Xu replied: "king of Chu, we should consider the worst situation. If Chen Dao really fell to Liu Bei, I''m afraid Huo Jun would have been under house arrest long ago, and Liu Ba, the governor of Yizhou, would also be in danger."


    "Therefore, the old minister thinks that the king can''t enter in a big way."


    "The old minister suggested that the king send Huang Hu and shamoko as famous teams to enter with great publicity."


    "Then, the king quietly takes people in again."


    "Only when the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light can we reverse the situation."


    Jia Xu gave direct suggestions.


    He was thinking about the worst.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu nodded and said, "the military adviser''s suggestion is really reasonable. We went to Yizhou, Huang Hu and shamoko led the army, under the banner of the king, to go aboveboard. And we went in secret. "


    At present, Liu Xiu gave the order directly.


    After the orders were issued, Jingzhou''s war machine ran quickly again.

 Chapter 670

    Chengdu!


    The Sixth Army station.


    In the tent.


    Huo Jun is dealing with military affairs.


    During this period of time, Huo Jun''s head is big, because Yizhou is suddenly in turmoil.


    As a commander of the Sixth Army, Huo Jun is duty bound.


    Huo Jun investigated again and again, but in the end, he did not find out who was behind the scenes.


    The other party''s whereabouts are too hidden.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came in.


    The soldier saluted respectfully and said, "military commander!"


    Huo Jun raised his head and said, "what''s the matter?"


    The soldier said, "I''m Su Xing, the Royal Guard. I''m here to convey the king''s order."


    On hearing this, Huo Jun immediately stood up and said, "please speak!"


    Su Jing takes out a letter and hands it to Huo Jun. then he goes back to his seat and stands.


    Huo Jun took it apart and looked at it. After reading it, he looked surprised. Because what he saw was Liu Xiu''s Herald, which ordered him to pay attention to Chen Dao''s situation, and then investigate the situation of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.


    The envelope also recorded Jia Xu''s inference about Cao Cao and Sun Quan.


    However, the focus is still on Liu Bei.


    Huo Jun asked, "what else can I do for you?"


    Wake up a way: "the king has led Huang Hu and Sha Mo Ke to come, want to personally sit down."


    Huo Jun nodded and said, "I understand!"


    "Goodbye!"


    Wake up a salute, turned and left.


    Huo Jun sat alone in the camp with a dignified look on his face.


    If it is Chen Dao, what should he do?


    Although Huo Jun and Chen Dao have been partners for a long time, they also know Chen Dao''s character. Once Liu Bei comes, Chen Dao''s situation will be a little delicate.


    Therefore, Huo Jun has to think about how to deal with this matter.


    If one is not handled properly, it is easy to cause turbulence.


    Sitting in the tent, Huo Jun slowly considered the next steps.


    A quarter of an hour later, Huo Jun is still combing his thoughts.


    For nearly half an hour, Huo Jun''s mind gradually became clear.


    At this time, a soldier came to report that Chen Dao asked him to attend the meeting.


    Huo Jun got up and went to the big account of the Chinese army.


    He went into the Chinese army tent, saw Chen Dao sitting right above, and said, "general, what''s the matter?"


    Chen daozhengse said, "I''m looking for you because of the turmoil in Yizhou."


    "Last time, we went to the Crusade, and finally came back in vain."


    "After this period of investigation, I plan to send troops to the Crusade again."


    Chen Dao''s eyes flashed a sharp light.


    He is in Yizhou, now Yizhou out of such a big basket, Chen to heart is to a snow before shame.


    Huo Jun said: "general, please wait a moment."


    Chen to eyebrow a pick, way: "why?"


    He and Huo Jun are both prosperous and at the same time, but now he has been defeated one after another, and has not been able to completely pacify the situation in Yizhou. It can be said that Huo Jun has no face.


    Huo Jun said: "today, the king of Chu sent an order. He has already taken his army and is on his way from Xiangyang to Yizhou. It is expected that it will arrive in Chengdu in a short time. General Chen, since the king of Chu has come, we will temporarily stop sending troops and wait for the king of Chu. "


    After hearing this, Chen Dao frowned slightly.


    Here comes the king of Chu.


    This means that he failed to solve the crisis in Yizhou.


    He is out of duty!


    Huo Jun stares at Chen Dao, waiting for Chen Dao''s reaction.


    This time, he was also testing.


    Chen Dao pondered for a long time and said, "military adviser, if the king comes, it will prove that we are derelict of duty. Are you willing to do such a thing? "


    For the first World War in Yizhou, Chen Zhi was never reconciled.


    He has been in charge of the military affairs of Yizhou for many years, but now he has problems under his own rule. Chen Zhi is uncomfortable.


    Huo Jun said, "no matter what, we have to obey the king''s orders."


    As soon as he heard that Chen Dao was going to fight, Huo Jun was reluctant.


    Even to Chen Dao, a little more doubt.


    The king''s order has come down. Is Chen Dao going to disobey it?


    Chen Dao stares at Huo Jun and says, "how do you think about it, military adviser?"


    Huo Jun said: "now that I have received the king''s order, I think we should obey the king''s order and stop the action temporarily. When the king arrives, we can make a plan. After all, we haven''t figured out the situation yet. It''s better to wait until the king arrives. "


    Chen Dao looked at Huo Jun and said, "military adviser, I''m really not reconciled."


    Huo Jun sighed: "how can I be reconciled?"


    "Under the king, the first, second, third, fourth and fifth armies have made great achievements."


    "Among them, Wen pin and Zhang Ren led their respective armies and fought against Cao Cao with the king to establish meritorious deeds.""Huang Zhong and Tai Shici are on the side of the town to guard against Jiangdong."


    "Zhao Yun takes charge of Wuling County, stabilizes the situation of Wuling county and controls the southwest main road of Jingzhou."


    "Each major army has its own affairs and has achieved its own results. Among these legions, the Sixth Army alone has not been able to stabilize the situation, but has watched the situation worsen. "


    Huo Jun said: "under such circumstances, how can I be reconciled."


    Chen Dao looked solemn and said, "in that case, why don''t we send troops to stabilize the turbulent areas?"


    Huo Jun shook his head and said, "we haven''t figured out the situation yet. How can it be stable?"


    At this moment, Huo Jun''s heart, began to suspect Chen.


    To be sure, Chen Dao failed to stabilize the situation in Yizhou. He would have some thoughts in his mind, thinking back to controlling the situation before Liu Xiu. But the current situation is not so good at all. What''s the use of sending troops?


    Huo Jun was suspicious, but he didn''t show any doubts.


    After all, even if Chen Dao has a problem, he can''t stimulate him.


    Because Chen Dao is the chief General of the Sixth Army.


    Chen Dao''s order is still the basis for the mobilization of soldiers in the army.


    Huo Jun said again: "General Chen, are you sure you are sure? If you are sure, I can bet with you. If you''re not sure, you''d better not send troops for the time being and wait for a while. "


    "Alas..."


    After hearing this, Chen could not help sighing.


    "That''s all!"


    Chen Dao sighed: "the army will not move for the time being. We are waiting for the king''s way."


    "Good!"


    Huo Jun nodded.


    But now Huo Jun feels that Chen Dao is not so suspicious.


    If Chen Dao is really connected with Liu Bei, now it''s time to force out troops and completely let the situation out of control before Liu Xiu arrives.


    But if Chen does not send troops, it will not affect the overall situation.


    For a moment, Huo Jun was not sure.


    Huo Jun thought about it in his heart. He thought that he would keep still for a while and report the situation to Liu Xiu after Liu Xiu led the army to arrive.


    After discussing with Chen Dao, Huo Jun leaves the camp.


    Back in his camp, Huo Jun began to collect as much information as he could.


    Only in this way, when Liu Xiu arrived, he was more fully prepared. However, it is not easy either, because it is difficult. Otherwise, there will not be any news until now.


    What Huo Jun can do is to try his best.


    Bits and pieces of information and information gathered on Huo Jun''s desk.


    While Huo Jun is busy, he also pays attention to Chen Dao''s actions, and then waits for Liu Xiu''s way.

 Chapter 671

    The big account of the Chinese army.


    Chen Dao is looking at information about the turmoil in Yizhou counties.


    Today, the situation is complicated. Chen Dao must pay attention to the information and understand all the situations.


    Especially Liu Xiu is coming, which is Chen Dao''s most nervous.


    All the armies have made achievements, but his sixth army has not made any achievements, which is the most painful thing in his heart.


    "Newspaper!"


    Outside the camp, a soldier followed.


    "What''s the matter?" Chen asked


    The soldier held a letter in his hand and said, "this is a letter for you, general."


    Chen Dao nodded and took it.


    Immediately, Chen Dao opened the letter.


    There are only four words in the letter - Zishi, Houying!


    It''s midnight.


    But the time in this letter is Zishi in Houying. Someone must have made an appointment with him.


    Chen Dao looked at the messenger and asked, "who wrote to you?"


    The soldier said, "I''m also a soldier in the army, but I don''t know him. He said he was your old friend."


    After hearing this, Chen Dao was in a daze.


    Old friend?


    He has some old friends in the army.


    Chen Dao is strict in military management, and he doesn''t like to place relatives in the army, so there are no relatives in the army.


    Chen Dao waved and said, "step back."


    "Here it is


    When the soldier got the news, he turned and backed down.


    Chen Dao sat alone in the camp, looking at the letter and examining the words on it.


    These four words are very common, without any characteristics.


    It''s hard to see what''s going on just by these four words.


    Chen finally put the letter aside, and then continued to deal with government affairs.


    Time is in a hurry, night is deep.


    At Zishi, Chen went back to camp as promised.


    But there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the barracks, and there are also many soldiers in the rear battalion who are responsible for logistics.


    Chen Dao is aimless and can''t find any direction. He can only wander in the back camp. However, all the soldiers in the rear camp have rested, and few of them stay in the camp except for the soldiers who patrol occasionally.


    Chen Dao frowned.


    Zishi - Houying, this is a letter from someone.


    He has arrived on time, but there is no news?


    Chen Dao looked solemn and waited quietly.


    Suddenly, a soldier came quickly and appeared in the light of the fire.


    The soldier''s appearance became clear in the light of the fire.


    This soldier is very ordinary. He is in his early 40s, and his temples are covered with white frost. He came to Chen Dao in a hurry and saluted in a hurry.


    Chen Dao asked, "did you send the letter?"


    "Yes


    The soldier replied.


    Chen Dao said, "what''s your name?"


    The soldier replied, "the villain''s name is Du Xuan. He is a commander of the logistics battalion."


    Chen Dao said, "those who come to deliver letters during the day say that they are the old friends of Ben Jiang. What''s the relationship between you and Ben Jiang?"


    Du Xuan shook his head and said, "general, villains also listen to people."


    Chen Dao raised his eyebrows.


    Does Du Xuan obey others?


    What''s going on?


    At this time, Chen Dao''s heart is more confused, he did not feel clear for a moment.


    Chen to cold voice way: "say clearly, exactly is how to return a responsibility?"


    Du Xuan said: "when the villain took people out to buy vegetables, he met a butcher. He wrote a letter to the villain and asked him to do it again. Moreover, he also gave an article to the villain''s son, saying that as long as the villain completes the task, it will not be bad for the villain''s son. So, it''s hard for a young person to send a message. "


    Plop!


    Du Xuan knelt down on the ground and said, "general, spare your life. Villains have no choice."


    Chen Dao said, "the other party asked you to call Ben Jiang here. What else is the matter?"


    Du Xuan said, "there is another letter for you."


    With these words, Du Xuan immediately took out another letter from his arms and handed it to Chen Dao.


    At the moment, Du Xuan was all trembling.


    He was afraid that Chen Dao would get angry and kill him.


    Chen Dao directly opened the letter, and then saw a line on the letter: tomorrow afternoon, outside the camp, the wind forest.


    Qingfenglin, not far from the barracks.


    It''s only half a quarter of an hour on foot.


    Chen Dao asked, "Du Xuan, are you sure a butcher told you that?"


    Du Xuan said: "yes, this butcher has been serving meat in the army. Many of the meat we bought before was bought by butchers. "


    Chen Dao nodded.


    At this time, Chen Dao knew that Du Xuan should not know.Du Xuan is threatened, and the butcher may also be threatened or bribed.


    It must be quite difficult to start from the butcher line.


    Chen Dao waved his hand and said, "step back!"


    "Here it is


    Du xuanru is pardoned and will leave soon.


    Suddenly, Du Xuan stopped again.


    Du Xuan said: "general, there is one more thing I almost forgot."


    "What''s the matter?" Chen asked


    Du Xuan said: "the other side said, please don''t tell Huo Junshi about it, or you will be responsible for the consequences."


    Chen to eyebrow a pick.


    Can''t you tell Huo Jun?


    What does that mean?


    Chen Dao took another look at the lines of the letter, and then thought of Du Xuan''s words, but he was worried.


    It''s complicated!


    It seems that this must be a conspiracy.


    Chen Dao waves Du Xuan to step down, but in his heart, he also connects the incident with the turmoil in Yizhou.


    Could the other party have planned this?


    Chen went back to the Chinese Army''s tent and sat quietly.


    At this time, Chen Dao thought about whether to discuss with Huo Jun.


    The other party said that he could not discuss with Huo Jun. if he discussed with Huo Jun, the other party''s people in the camp would find that there would be more variables at that time.


    After thinking for a long time, Chen Dao finally decided not to tell.


    At that time, he will go to qingfenglin to see it.


    ¡­¡­


    Huo Jun camp.


    Huo Jun has gone to bed in the middle of the night.


    At this time, his bodyguard came in and called Huo Jun up.


    Huo Jun looked at Qin Wei, rubbed his swollen eyes and said, "what''s the matter?"


    Pro Wei said: "Sir, I have news from General Chen."


    "What''s the news?" Huo Jun''s eyes brightened.


    The bodyguard replied, "we have been watching General Chen''s movements all day. We found that when he was approaching midnight this evening, he suddenly left the camp and went to the rear camp. In the back camp, he met a soldier in the backyard. We stood far away and couldn''t see what was going on. But I vaguely see that the soldiers in the rear camp have given something to General Chen. "


    When Huo Jun heard the news, he looked more serious.


    Chen Dao meets the soldiers privately.


    This news makes Huo Jun suspect.


    What''s the matter with Chen Dao?


    Is it true that Chen Dao has two hearts.


    Huo Jun ordered: "continue to pay attention to General Chen''s actions, and report any news immediately."


    "Here it is


    The soldier retreated. After thinking about it, Huo Jun lay down again.


    At this time, Huo Jun can''t judge what''s going on. He can only wait and see what will happen next.

 Chapter 672

    The next day, early in the morning.


    Huo Jun got up early, washed up, had breakfast, and began to inspect the camp.


    All busy, Huo Jun back to the camp.


    For what happened last night, Huo Jun''s heart still can''t put down.


    Is Chen Dao really connected with Liu Bei?


    If Chen Dao really is, I''m afraid the consequences will be very serious, and even the whole situation in Yizhou will be affected.


    After thinking about it, Huo Jun got up and went to the big account of the Chinese army.


    In the tent.


    Chen Dao has just come back.


    He also went to inspect the camp in the morning, and then came back.


    Seeing that Huo Jun had come, Chen Dao didn''t mention what happened last night and said, "military adviser, what''s the matter?"


    Huo Jun sat down and said, "I have a guess about the situation in Yizhou."


    "What guess?" Chen asked


    For the situation in Yizhou, Chen Dao is still a mess.


    So far, he hasn''t been able to figure out what the situation is.


    When Huo Jun says his words, he always pays attention to the change of Chen Dao''s eyes. Seeing that Chen Dao doesn''t seem to be faking and doesn''t have any change, Huo Jun is not sure.


    If Chen Dao is really connected with Liu Bei, his manner will inevitably change.


    Now the situation is somewhat different.


    Huo Jun put his mind aside and said: "the situation is like this. When the king and Cao Cao confronted each other, Jiangdong, who had never been moving, suddenly attacked Jingzhou at this time."


    "At the same time, Yizhou also has some news."


    "Even, we haven''t been able to find out who''s behind it."


    "So I guess the person behind the unrest in Yizhou will be Jiangdong."


    Huo Jun hides Liu Bei''s conjecture.


    He put forward Jiangdong, which is also to test Chen Dao''s ideas.


    Chen to the Mou son in flit over a fine light, way: "military adviser''s conjecture, have certain possibility.". Today, the world is divided into three parts. The king, Cao Cao and Sun Quan each occupy one side. "


    "Cao Cao has no influence in Yizhou, and it is difficult for him to enter it."


    "It''s Sun Quan who is easy to enter Yizhou."


    "I agree with the military division''s analysis. It is very likely that it is Jiangdong," Chen said


    Huo Jun was disappointed after hearing Chen Dao''s words.


    He wanted to observe Chen, but he didn''t see any useful news. He was still in the deep fog.


    Huo Jun sees this, also no longer try, sigh a way: "just, now can only wait for the king to come, and then consider the next battle plan."


    Chen Dao nodded.


    This is the only way to arrange this war.


    Huo Jun left the camp, and Chen Dao sat alone in the camp, thinking about the arrangements for noon.


    He''s going to qingfenglin at noon to see what''s going on.


    Time flies away in a hurry. It''s already in the middle of the day.


    The weather in September, has a little bit of cool, not so hot.


    Chen Dao was wearing a blue robe, but a long sword at his waist. He told the soldiers that he had something to do when he went out. He told the soldiers to go on and tell them what to do. Then he left the camp.


    Chen left at the front foot, and soldiers arrived at Huojun''s barracks at the back foot.


    The soldier spoke quickly about the situation.


    After hearing this, Huo Jun frowned and looked more dignified in his eyes.


    Last night, Chen came to see a soldier.


    At noon today, Chen Dao left again.


    At this time, Chen Dao was quite suspicious, which made people have to doubt.


    As a military commander, Huo Jun should know the situation in the camp.


    But now, Huo Jun doesn''t know anything, so the situation is a little strange and complicated.


    Huo Jun waved the soldiers back, and then called the soldiers.


    They are soldiers in the army, but they have another identity, the royal guards.


    On the one hand, these royal guards supervise the barracks, on the other hand, they also convey all kinds of information.


    Huo Jun looked at the soldiers and said, "General Chen has just left the camp. You should send someone to follow him immediately to find out where General Chen is going."


    "Here it is


    The soldiers of the royal guards went down to make arrangements.


    ¡­¡­


    Chen Dao left the camp and rode fast.


    Soon, he came to qingfenglin.


    This is a bamboo forest.


    When the wind blows, the bamboo forest is whirling and swaying.


    Chen Dao saw qingfenglin, with a dignified look in his eyes. If the other party asks him to come to qingfenglin, will he lay an ambush?


    What should he do if there is an ambush in the forest?


    In Chen''s eyes, there is a touch of vigilance.


    Do you want to enter?


    At the moment, Chen Dao is in a deadlock.


    Just then, at the entrance of qingfenglin, an ordinary looking middle-aged man came out and said, "General Chen, when you''re all in qingfenglin, what''s the hesitation? Is it because Li is afraid of being ambushed. With General Chen''s martial arts, who dares to ambush you? ""Who are you?" Chen asked


    The middle-aged man said, "as soon as General Chen enters, he will know."


    Seeing this, Chen did not hesitate and went straight into the bamboo forest.


    Qingfenglin is covered with bamboo forests and covers a large area. There are many towering trees in it.


    Such places are not easy to find.


    Along with the middle-aged people, Chen Dao continued to deepen.


    When he walked for nearly half an hour, and Chen didn''t know how far he had gone, the middle-aged man stopped.


    In this place, there is an open place with a radius of three Zhang.


    The sun came down and reflected in the bamboo forest. The scenery was beautiful.


    Middle aged man: "the general will be here later."


    Then the middle-aged left.


    Chen Dao stood alone in the forest, waiting quietly.


    He looked around, and saw that the surrounding terrain was quite open, and there were few people, so there was nothing to worry about.


    "Shuzhi, long time no see, how are you?"


    Suddenly, a clear voice came from the forest.


    As soon as Chen Zhi heard the sound, he felt numb and had an incredible look on his face.


    He looked up and confirmed the person in front of him. His eyes were even more surprised.


    How is that possible?


    Why is he?


    The visitors were dressed in white robes, feather fans and silk scarves. It''s just that there are a few more white spots on his temples.


    This man is no other than Zhuge Liang.


    Chen Dao was shocked. How could Zhuge Liang appear in Chengdu?


    Chen went to the center of his brain and suddenly thought of the current situation in Yizhou. He lost his voice and said, "the situation in Yizhou is caused by you?"


    Zhuge Liang gently shakes the feather fan and says, "if you know me, it''s uncle."


    The situation in Yizhou was indeed promoted by Zhuge Liang.


    After he and Liu Bei fled from Jiaozhou, Zhuge Liang originally planned to go to sea with Liu Bei and go to other places. But in the end, Zhuge Liang chose lanyizhou.


    Yizhou is rugged and has many mountains, which are suitable for hiding.


    Many people in Bozhou and Yiman are the most important.


    These people are in the deep mountains and forests, and have never been submissive.


    What Zhuge Liang had to do was to unite the barbarians and Bo people in Yizhou. Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei shuttled through the mountains and forests of Yizhou, worked hard, and finally got all the barbarians and Bo people to support Liu Bei.


    After years of operation, Zhuge Liang stabilized the rear and began to take action.


    When Zhuge Liang learned that Liu Xuan had a decisive battle with Cao Cao, he began to take action and planned to take measures to win Yizhou.


    As long as Liu Bei has Yizhou, then Liu Bei has capital.

 Chapter 673

    Chen Dao said in a deep voice, "Kong Ming, what do you want?"


    Zhuge Liang gently shakes the feather fan and says: "Uncle Zhiming has already guessed it. Why do you pretend not to know? My goal is very simple, Yizhou. This time I come to see Shuzhi, I hope that Shuzhi will return to the Lord''s command and serve for the princes. "


    He has a calm look and a look of approval.


    Liu Bei is very kind to Chen Dao.


    Chen Dao shook his head and said, "Kong Ming, in the past Xuande Gong occupied Jiaozhou, but he was not the opponent of the king, let alone now?"


    "Today, the king sits in Jiaozhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Liangzhou, Sili and other places."


    "It can be said that the king has occupied half of the country."


    "Under such circumstances, Xuande Gong can no longer compete with the king."


    Chen Dao said: "Kong Ming, those who know current affairs are outstanding. You are a wise man. You know the current situation and can study and judge the situation more clearly. "


    After hearing this, Zhuge Liang''s face cooled down.


    Unexpectedly, Chen Dao refused.


    Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Shuzhi, are you worthy of your master?"


    With these words, Chen Dao''s face changed greatly. In his eyes, he looked more angry.


    He''s sorry for Liu Bei?


    Ha, what a joke.


    In the past, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang abandoned him in order to escape. In order to fight Liu Bei''s family, he made a request to Liu Xiu, and finally fought Liu Bei''s family.


    Now, it''s ironic that Zhuge Liang asks such a rhetorical question.


    Chen to a big sleeve, said: "Kong Ming, you do not have to persuade, I know."


    Zhuge Liang sighed: "unfortunately, the Lord must be disappointed."


    Chen Dao was silent when he heard the speech.


    What does Liu Bei''s disappointment have to do with him?


    He has done his utmost for Liu Bei.


    Chen Dao looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Kong Ming, I advise you to follow Xuande Gong. After all, it''s hard for you to become a great weapon. If you submit to your Lord, he will surely give you a heavy responsibility. "


    Zhuge Liang said, "I really don''t know. Uncle Chen would also say such words. Ha, it''s ironic."


    Chen to light said: "there is no irony is not ironic, the trend is so."


    Zhuge Liang took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "this is from the Lord. Take it. Then, think it over. "


    Chen Dao took the letter, he gently smile.


    "Yes


    Chen to directly tore up the letter, did not read the contents of the letter.


    Zhuge Liang''s eyes were shocked.


    Zhuge Liang did not expect that Chen Dao would tear up the letter, which was so decisive.


    At this moment, Zhuge Liang finally understood.


    Chen Dao completely surrendered to Liu Xiu.


    At this point, Chen Dao can no longer betray Liu Xiu.


    With a look of disappointment in his eyes, Zhuge Liang said: "since Shuzhi has made a choice, we have nothing to talk about. Shuzhi, I hope you can be so decisive when we meet on the battlefield. "


    Chen Dao said: "each battlefield is its own master."


    Zhuge Liang gently shook the feather fan and said, "it''s OK, it''s OK to be in charge of each other."


    Chen Dao stares at Zhuge Liang and says, "Kong Ming, do you want to keep this general?"


    Since Zhuge Liang is in the forest, there must be the strength of each other in this forest. If Zhuge Liang launches an offensive, Chen Dao may not be able to escape though he has outstanding martial arts skills.


    Zhuge Liang said: "the LORD said, even if you betray, he will not kill you. After all, you are the once subordinate of the Lord."


    "Go, if you don''t, I''m afraid you won''t be able to leave."


    Zhuge Liang waved a feather fan and urged Chen Dao to leave.


    Without hesitation, Chen Dao turned and left.


    Now that he is clear about the situation, when he returns to the camp, he will be ready to send a message to Liu Xiu and let him make early preparations.


    Zhuge Liang looks at Chen Dao''s back and smiles.


    The former middle-aged man came out and said, "military strategist, do you just let him go?"


    Zhuge Liang gently shook the feather fan and said, "is it meaningful to leave Chen here?"


    Middle aged humanist: "Chen Dao is Liu Xiu''s Sixth Army commander, leaving him can weaken Liu Xiu."


    Zhuge Liang looked at Chen Zhi''s back and said with a smile: "but in my opinion, letting Chen Zhi leave can expand our interests and make things more beneficial to us."


    After hearing this, the middle-aged man looked puzzled.


    He doesn''t understand!


    I don''t understand what Zhuge Liang means.


    Zhuge Liang looked at the middle-aged man and didn''t explain. He said, "it''s time for us to go. Since Chen Dao has been here, it''s not safe here. Let''s go. Leave at once


    "Here it is


    Middle aged people should hold their fists.


    They quickly disappeared in the forest, and then heard a rustling sound. A group of soldiers came out from the dark and left with Zhuge Liang.Chen Dao walked out of the wind forest alone.


    In his mind, he thought about the whole thing.


    Zhuge Liang asked him to come, but in fact, he just won over and didn''t really do it.


    This arrangement is really weird.


    When Chen followed Liu Bei, he always followed Zhuge Liang and became familiar with his style. Zhuge Liang is a business man. He will not let go of a person easily because of his personal feelings.


    Therefore, Chen Dao doubted Zhuge Liang''s purpose.


    "Oh, no, I''ve got it!"


    Suddenly, Chen Dao thought of Huo Jun.


    In the army, Huo Jun is also a wise man, not a confused man.


    He met someone last night and left the camp today, which is likely to arouse Huo Jun''s suspicion.


    Moreover, Zhuge Liang''s plan will not be so simple.


    Zhuge Liang will surely make Huo Jun doubt him.


    Chen Dao''s eyes are dignified, thinking about how to explain to Huo Jun when he goes back. Up to now, he has understood the origin and development of Yizhou time and the situation. He must let Huo Jun believe him.


    Chen Dao worried and quickened his pace.


    All the way to the exit of qingfenglin, he left, and then ready to lead the horse.


    Just as soon as he got out of the bamboo forest, Chen Dao was stunned.


    Because outside the wind forest, he saw the soldiers in the formation.


    In front of the soldiers is Huo Jun.


    Chen Dao''s face changed slightly. Unexpectedly, the problem came true. Huo Jun really doubted it.


    Chen Dao said, "military adviser!"


    Huo Jun cold face, deep voice way: "Chen general, you don''t explain?"


    Chen Dao returned and said, "military division, let''s go back to the camp first."


    Huo Jun said: "at this point, the general is still hiding. General, who the hell did you meet? You have some secret


    Chen Dao replied, "everything can''t be told. I have no secret. What I want to tell you is that I know the source of the turmoil in Yizhou, and I know what the war is like. "


    Huo Jun said with a smile: "Oh, I''m all ears."


    Chen said: "the turmoil in Yizhou was caused by Liu Bei. I went into the bamboo forest and met Liu Bei''s counselor Zhuge Liang. He asked me to come to qingfenglin. "


    Huo Jun said, "what else?"


    Huo Jun believes what Chen Dao said, but he doesn''t think it''s all.


    Because the news is too simple.

 Chapter 674

    Chen Dao replied, "when Zhuge Liang comes to Chengdu, it is bound to make waves. We should start the emergency measures as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in each other''s calculation. "


    Huo Jun asked, "General Chen, didn''t Zhuge Liang woo you?"


    This is what Huo Jun is most concerned about.


    What is Chen''s attitude so far.


    Is there any collusion with Liu Bei?


    Whether or not they have been united with Zhuge Liang.


    Chen Dao said truthfully: "ZHUGE Liang did recruit this general. He hoped that this general could help Liu Bei, but he has been rejected by me. The king is very kind to him. He thinks highly of him. How can he live up to his trust? "


    Huo Jun nodded.


    Chen Dao has a conscience.


    Chen was a demoted general and could be the commander of the Sixth Army.


    It has to be said that Liu Xiuqi has reappeared.


    However, Huo Jun can''t gamble.


    When it comes to the safety of the first army, Huo Jun can''t let himself be sentimental.


    Huo Jun said in a deep voice: "General Chen, I am willing to believe you, and I believe you are loyal to the king. But now that Liu Bei''s men have appeared, the general is undeniably suspected before he thoroughly sweeps Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. "


    Chen to nodded: "yes, I am suspected."


    Huo Jun once again said: "especially last night, what did the general do? And I''m leaving again today. Why don''t you discuss it with me? "


    Chen to a listen, immediately choked.


    In fact, he didn''t tell Huo Jun because he didn''t know what would happen.


    Unexpectedly, this makes Huo Jun more suspicious.


    If I had known that, I should have told Huo Jun.


    Chen Dao nodded and said, "I am dictatorial about leaving."


    Huo Jun said: "it''s good for the general to understand. Now, I''m going to be the champion team temporarily and detain the general. General Chen, what do you think? "


    Chen Dao replied, "I obey orders."


    In today''s situation, Chen Dao can''t get rid of his suspicion and can only accept it.


    Most importantly, he used to be Liu Bei''s man.


    This level of identity alone doomed Chen to be very constrained in this battle with Liu Bei.


    One is someone who used to work.


    One is the one who works now.


    No matter which one it is, Chen Dao respects it.


    Under such circumstances, Chen Dao''s personal command will be very disadvantageous, and it will be very difficult to be caught in the middle.


    It is better to give up the right than to do so.


    When Huo Jun takes over the army, Chen Dao is more relieved.


    At least, he doesn''t have to be on both sides.


    Huo Jun arched his hand and said, "General Chen, I''ve offended you!"


    With a wave of his hand, the soldier went straight forward.


    The soldiers took control of Chen Dao and the party began to return.


    Walking on the way, suddenly, there are soldiers running fast.


    The soldier looked nervous and said in a high voice, "general, military division, something''s wrong."


    The soldiers came in a hurry.


    Huo Jun waved the soldiers to stop and said in a deep voice, "what happened?"


    The soldier replied, "our camp has been attacked."


    Brush!


    Huo Jun and Chen arrive on the face, all a facial expression of amazement.


    Camp attacked?


    How is that possible?


    You know, the Sixth Army is located near Chengdu, which is the base camp of Yizhou.


    It''s shocking that such things happen.


    Huo Jun asked, "what happened in the end?"


    The soldier panicked and said, "our camp has been broken down, but the other side retreats with one blow and has left."


    Huo Jun was stunned again.


    Zhuge Liang''s army broke through the camp and left again.


    What''s going on?


    Huo Jun''s heart, now is really very confused, don''t understand exactly is how to return a responsibility?


    "Come on, let''s go back to camp."


    At this time, the camp is broken. Huo Jun is very worried. He wants to go back to the camp to see what''s going on?


    It''s a camp, after all.


    Where are the soldiers of the other side? How can they have so many troops to break through the barracks.


    The party returned quickly.


    "Chen Dao, Huo Jun, I''ve been waiting here for a long time."


    On the official road, a burly man with feathers on his head, dressed in animal skin, was suddenly killed.


    His face was painted with all kinds of colors and looked strange.


    He was riding on a horse with a mace in his hand.


    Behind him, rows of soldiers, armed with bows and arrows, aimed at the positions of Chen Dao and Huo Jun. At the same time, groups of soldiers were killed around.


    These people are all armed with bows and arrows.


    As long as Huo Jun and Chen Dao have a slight change, the other side will fire arrows at random.Huo Jun looks in the eye, is also a look of consternation.


    Ambush!


    He was ambushed again.


    Huo Jun was overwhelmed by all these things. He really couldn''t understand them.


    Chen Dao has a dignified look in his eyes. In his eyes, he felt more guilty. If he had not left the camp, Huo Jun would not have followed, and the camp would not have been leaderless.


    All this comes from him.


    Chen Dao said, "military division, I''ll cover your retreat."


    Huo Jun looked at the situation around him and shook his head: "no, there''s no need to break through. In the present situation, once we break through the encirclement, I''m afraid we''ll all have to fold here, surrender first, and then think about ways. "


    In the current situation, Huo Jun can''t think of any other way.


    He didn''t have many soldiers with him, and the other side was all archers.


    Once he goes to war, the other side will shoot at each other with bows and arrows. Even though Chen Dao is fierce, Chen Dao can''t stop him.


    Huo Jun stared at the man and said, "who are you?"


    With a proud look on his face, the man raised his head and said, "my name is mengben. I''m a warrior of Nanman tribe. You surrender immediately, I will spare you not to die. If you don''t surrender, there will be no amnesty. "


    Huo Jun said without hesitation: "we give up resistance."


    Meng Ben laughed and said, "you are wise!"


    "Up, take them."


    With a wave of Meng Ben''s hand, all the soldiers under his command rushed up and tied up Huo Jun, Chen Dao and all the people under his command.


    Then, Meng Ben escorted Chen to and others to leave.


    After Meng Ben escorted Chen Dao and others to leave, the news that Chen Dao and Huo Jun were arrested immediately spread.


    This news has even more upset the hearts of the soldiers in the barracks.


    The soldiers of the army were scattered, and some of them fled to other places.


    And somewhere in the mountains outside Chengdu.


    A large number of soldiers are stationed here.


    Each of these soldiers had dark skin, and their faces were painted with various colors. Many of them were even topless, but each of them was a tough man.


    These people are under the command of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.


    In the military center.


    Dressed in coarse linen, Liu Bei is having a meeting with the tribal leaders of the barbarians.


    After the meeting, Liu Bei was waiting.


    Today''s Liu Bei, is to restore the style of the west, but between his eyebrows, never forget the past hatred.


    After years of preparation, he came back.


    It took him several years to reach Chengdu this time.


    Even in the deep mountains and forests, his soldiers began to cultivate and self-suffice to ensure the food stability of the army.


    "Newspaper!"


    A soldier came over and said, "Lord, the division is back."


    Liu Bei, with a bright smile on his face, got up and went to meet him.

 Chapter 675

    With a smile on his face, Liu Bei walked towards Zhuge Liang.


    Seeing Zhuge Liang coming, Liu Bei arched his hand and said, "military adviser!"


    Zhuge Liang saluted and said, "Lord!"


    Liu Bei nodded slightly and took Zhuge Liang to his seat.


    For Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei courted him in every way, respected him, and treated his family more like one. It is because of Liu Bei''s means that Zhuge Liang is willing to work for Liu Bei.


    Because of Liu Bei''s esteem, Zhuge Liang was able to endure humiliation for several years.


    Under Zhuge Liang''s plan, Liu Bei was able to nibble at the barbarians bit by bit and got their support.


    Finally, Liu Bei integrated the power of all the barbarians.


    "How is the plan going, military adviser?" Liu Bei asked


    Zhuge Liang said: "everything goes well!"


    At this point, Zhuge Liang had a slight pause.


    On hearing this, Liu Bei showed a touch of disappointment in his eyes and said, "did Chen Dao refuse?"


    Zhuge said, "my Lord is wise!"


    Liu Bei clenched his fist with a look of loss in his eyes.


    Once upon a time, Chen Zhi led his confidant army and was his absolute confidant.


    Unexpectedly, now Chen Dao has changed his mind.


    Zhuge Liang comforted him: "don''t worry, Lord. Chen Dao is not willing to surrender. He will be arrested soon. At that time, the Lord will persuade Chen to surrender. "


    Liu Bei said, "military adviser, do you think Chen Dao can still be persuaded to surrender now?"


    After many years, it is too difficult to persuade Chen Dao to surrender.


    Zhuge Liang tested Chen Dao before. He could feel Chen Dao''s resolute attitude. As soon as he heard this, he said, "since we can''t persuade him to surrender, Lord, let''s go according to the original plan."


    "Yes


    Liu Bei gritted his teeth and agreed directly.


    In order to persuade Chen to surrender, he didn''t have enough time.


    Zhuge Liang smiles, shakes his feather fan and says, "my Lord, our task now is to take Shu county. As long as we have Shu County, we will have a foothold. "


    Liu Bei said: "everything depends on the military plan."


    Zhuge Liang said, "I will do my best."


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came running quickly.


    The soldier came to Liu Bei and reported, "my Lord, Meng Ben is back. He also brought Zhang Ren and Huo Jun with him."


    "Good!"


    Liu Bei''s face was full of smiles.


    It''s amazing to get such a victory.


    Liu Bei and Liu Xiu have never really won the battle. This time, after many years of preparation, the barbarians were continuously reduced to zero and sent to Chengdu. Finally, the effect was achieved and unprecedented success was achieved.


    Liu Bei said, "inform Meng Ben and bring the people up."


    "Here it is


    The soldier was ordered to turn around and go down.


    Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "military adviser, the next thing is up to you."


    Zhuge Liang said, "don''t worry, Lord!"


    It wasn''t long before Chen Dao and Huo Jun were brought.


    When they meet Liu Bei, Chen Dao looks complicated, while Huo Jun''s eyes are angry.


    In front of Liu Bei, these two people have different thoughts.


    Liu Bei''s eyes show a wisp of madness, but it''s still very good to hide.


    Over the years, he has been patient.


    Just for revenge!


    Now that he has won a small victory, Liu Bei is extremely excited.


    In particular, we also caught Chen Dao.


    Liu Bei repressed his emotions, his face is still full of smiles, said: "uncle to, you and I meet again."


    Looking at Liu Bei, Chen Dao looked extremely complicated.


    Today''s Liu Bei, temples have long been infected with wind and frost.


    On the face, also many wrinkles.


    Liu Bei is no longer young, especially in these years has been in the mountains and forests, has been circulating in various barbarian groups, is also painstaking.


    Chen Dao took a deep breath and said, "I''ve seen Xuande!"


    Xuande is just a honorific name.


    Chen Dao once worked for Liu Bei and later for Liu Xiu.


    Now that he is captured, he has his own measure.


    He doesn''t intend to surrender. If he does now, what is he? Is he still a loyal minister?


    Liu Bei was worried when he heard Chen Dao''s address.


    The word "Xuande Gong" stands for many things.


    Liu Bei was not in a hurry to persuade Chen Dao. He said slowly, "Uncle Zhi, with the help of military advisers, I have finally won the barbarians in the southwest of Yizhou, and even planted many people in Shu county."


    "After years of sharpening the sword, it has finally worked."


    "Once upon a time, I wanted to find you and let people arrange for you and me to meet."


    "However, since the defeat of Jiaozhou, we have fled everywhere, and there are few troops left under my command.""I have no face for you."


    "So, I haven''t been looking for you."


    Liu Bei said earnestly: "now, I finally meet you again, and we have the opportunity to join hands again. As long as we work hand in hand, we will surely create a new foundation. Shuzhi, come back. I need you, and so do the military division. "


    Thousands of words come together into one sentence.


    I need you!


    Liu Bei''s voice, more a trace of choking.


    In his eyes, there is also a crystal light.


    What Liu Bei is good at is sensationalism. His words also made Chen Zhi cry.


    Drop by drop of tears, from Chen to his eyes.


    He once worked for Liu Bei and went through fire and water for him. He was highly valued by Liu Bei.


    However, he also worked for Liu Xiu and was highly valued by him.


    He was a demoted general. Liu Xiu gave him too much and promised him to take care of Liu Bei''s family.


    All this was given to him by Liu Xiu.


    Chen Dao looked at Liu Bei with tears in his eyes and said, "Duke Xuande, I''m the king of Chu. I can''t change my tune any more. Mr. Xuande, I''m sorry Chen can''t work for you. "


    Brush!


    Liu Bei''s face suddenly changed.


    The look of madness in his eyes all showed at once.


    A ferocious look appeared on his handsome and elegant face.


    Chen Dao is already a demoted general. He condescends to attract Chen Dao again and gives him a chance to mend his ways. Chen Dao is shameless.


    Liu Bei said coldly, "Chen Dao, it seems that you have changed your mind."


    Chen Dao said: "Mr. Xuande, Chen has never changed. The past has not changed, nor has it changed now. "


    Liu Bei said with disdain, "don''t be shameless. I gave you an opportunity. If you don''t grasp it, you can''t afford the consequences."


    All the depression broke out at this time.


    On weekdays, Liu Bei is a gentle and considerate person.


    He is very considerate to anyone.


    But facing Chen Dao, the general he once valued most, Liu Bei couldn''t help it.


    All the rage, all the rage.


    Chen Dao looked at Liu Bei, who was insane. He suddenly laughed and said, "Xuande Gong, this is the real you. In your heart, you always think that as a man who has already surrendered to Liu Xiu, now you are willing to accept me, which is a gift to me, right? "


    Liu Bei hysterical way: "isn''t it?"


    Liu Bei''s hatred for Liu Xiu is higher than the mountain and deeper than the sea, which can not be resolved.


    His two brothers died in Liu Xiu''s hands.


    His foundation was destroyed by Liu Xiu.


    Everything is because of Liu Xiu, leading to his distress.


    Now Liu Bei catches Chen Dao who works for Liu Xiu. But Chen Dao is so uninteresting that Liu Bei is extremely angry.


    "Sonorous!"


    Liu Bei pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, and then pulled it out of the sheath.


    The sword is shining in the sun.


    Liu Bei had a deep look in his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Chen Dao, I''ll ask you again, are you submissive?"


    Chen Dao raised his head and said, "no surrender!"


    As soon as Liu Bei gritted his teeth, he stabbed his double swords forward. With a puff, he stabbed into Chen Dao''s shoulder. The red blood immediately overflowed and dyed his clothes red.


    Chen Dao held his head high, with pain on his face, but said nothing.

 Chapter 676

    "Tick! Tick


    Drop by drop of blood, drop on the ground.


    Bone piercing pain, into Chen''s brain, make Chen''s face more embarrassed.


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Suddenly, Chen Dao burst into laughter.


    Laughter, with hysterical disappointment, as well as a strong sense of anger.


    In order to take care of Liu Bei''s family, he specially proposed conditions to Liu Xiu.


    I didn''t expect that after years of care, I got such a result.


    Chen Dao said, "well done!"


    After Liu Bei stabbed Chen to his body with a sword, his hand trembled, his eyes even more painful, and he quickly drew out the sword. There was regret in his heart, but in an instant, he seized the idea.


    Chen Dao is determined to follow Liu Xiu.


    Why pity such people?


    Liu Bei''s eyes were cold. He held his bloody sword and said, "Chen Dao, I''ll give you another chance."


    Chen Dao said decidedly, "I will not betray the Lord."


    As soon as Liu Bei heard this, he began to laugh and his face was full of sarcasm.


    "Don''t betray the Lord? It''s a joke to say that from your mouth


    "You Chen Dao is my person, but you submit to Liu Xiu. Isn''t that betrayal?"


    "It''s ironic to listen to you!"


    Liu Bei clenched the sword in his hand, and his eyes were even more murderous.


    Chen Dao stared at Liu Bei, his cheek with pain and anger, said: "Liu Bei, say I betray you? What a joke. "


    "Who made me in the state at that time?"


    "You, Liu Bei, have been on the battlefield for decades. Don''t you know what''s going on?"


    "After I was captured, I was accompanied by Liu Bei''s family."


    "Yes, I am submissive to Liu Xiu."


    "But my condition is to let Liu Xiu take care of your family."


    Chen Zhi held his head high and said: "today, it''s good that your family members of Liu Bei live in Xiangyang. I don''t owe you half a cent. "


    After listening, Liu Bei stepped back two steps.


    Bang Dang!


    Liu Bei sighed as his sword fell to the ground.


    After all, it is he who is sorry for Chen Dao.


    At this time, all the negative emotions disappeared and recovered.


    He was at ease with the vent.


    Just for Chen Dao, he really feels guilty.


    Liu Bei looked up at Zhuge Liang and said, "military adviser, it''s up to you."


    He took another look at Chen Dao, sighed, turned and left.


    Zhuge Liang stood in front of Chen Dao and immediately ordered someone to bandage him. He said, "Uncle Zhi, why do you need that? Lord, you can''t imagine how much suffering he has endured these years. The Lord has been thinking about you and wants you to return to his command. But you are really disappointed. "


    Chen went up to the corner of his mouth and said, "Mr. Zhuge, do you still want to persuade me?"


    There was a touch of irony in his eyes.


    At this point, there is no room for further relaxation, and it is impossible for him to surrender.


    Zhuge Liang said: "Uncle Zhi, my Lord still trusts you."


    With a smile, Chen Zhi sneered: "is Mr. Zhuge still stubborn in today''s situation? Even if you make waves in Yizhou, what can you do? It''s just shaking trees. "


    Zhuge Liang''s face became cold.


    In his heart, there are pimples.


    Zhuge Liang boasted that he had the ability to manage heaven and earth, and even compared Guan Zhong and Yue Yi.


    However, he is constantly in the hands of Liu Xiu.


    What happened before Liu Xiu was always Zhuge Liang''s heart knot.


    Now Chen Dao said that Zhuge Liang could no longer compete with Liu Xiu, which stimulated Zhuge Liang''s most sensitive heart.


    Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said, "that''s it. I hope you won''t regret it."


    Chen Dao said coldly, "regret? I really don''t know how to write it. "


    At this point, Chen has no other thoughts.


    Liu Bei''s sword has cut off his kindness. He has nothing to ask for.


    At most, it''s a dead word.


    Seeing Chen Dao''s determination, Zhuge Liang had a helpless look on his face and sighed: "Why are you suffering?"


    As for Chen Dao, Zhuge Liang likes it very much.


    Chen Dao can faithfully carry out orders, but also has no indulgence.


    Everyone likes such a general.


    Chen Dao said, "Mr. Zhuge, save the extra words."


    Zhuge Liang shook his head and left.


    Chen Dao and Huo Jun are in custody together. Huo Jun looks at Chen Dao with red shoulders and thumbs up and says, "general, today''s affairs are under your service."Chen Dao sighed: "they are all people who want to die. What do they say. However, because of my reasons, the military strategist followed me to death. I feel sorry for that. "


    If, Chen Dao told Huo Jun early.


    Maybe not today.


    This time, Chen Dao himself found everything.


    Huo Jun laughed and said, "it''s also my honor to die with the general."


    Chen Dao didn''t betray Liu Xiu, which made Huo Jun admire him.


    So far, there is no way.


    Besides, Huo Jun did not plan for it properly. Huo Jun knew that it might be Liu Bei. On the basis of knowing that it was Liu Bei, Chen Dao was in a whirlpool. Under such circumstances, Chen Dao was extremely dangerous, and Huo Jun failed to guard against it in advance. This is that Huo Jun did not plan well.


    Chen Dao was even more ashamed when he heard Huo Jun''s words.


    It''s all his fault.


    Chen to closed his eyes, corner of a drop of business tears, quietly slide.


    After Zhuge Liang left, he returned to Liu Bei.


    After a respectful salute, Zhuge Liang said: "Lord, according to the current situation, Chen Dao will not be submissive."


    Liu Bei could not help clenching his fist.


    Zhuge Liang looked in his eyes and said, "Lord, what should I do with Chen Dao?"


    In Zhuge Liang''s plan, there was already a plan to deal with Chen Dao, but Chen Dao had a special identity, so Zhuge Liang asked again.


    Liu Bei said, "follow the plan."


    "Here it is


    Zhuge Liang nodded and agreed directly.


    Liu Bei said: "military strategist, whether we can have a foothold this time depends on this time."


    When it comes to the plan, Zhuge Liang''s eyes are full of smile and confidence.


    After years of planning, how can he not have self-confidence.


    Zhuge Liang said: "please don''t worry, we will win this time. Liu Xiu is bound to fall into the trap. If Liu Xiu doesn''t fall into the trap, I have a follow-up plan for him to avoid. "


    Liu Bei said, "good!"


    At the moment, Liu Bei also has more confidence.


    Liu Bei said, "let''s go down and arrange. Soon, Liu Xiu will be in Chengdu. I''m looking forward to meeting Liu Xiu this time."


    Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "I''m looking forward to my humble position."


    In the past, Zhuge Liang was everywhere below.


    Now that he has the upper hand, he has to see how Liu Xiu will deal with it.

 Chapter 677

    Liu BA''s attitude is very sincere.


    As soon as he came up, he took the initiative to plead guilty.


    In fact, Liu Ba has a clear understanding of his own situation.


    Such a big thing happened in Yizhou, even the Sixth Army was wronged. For such a thing, he must take the initiative to bear the responsibility.


    After all, he is the governor of Yizhou.


    If things are not big, Liu Ba can find a reason to shirk.


    This time, it''s too big.


    Liu Xiu looked at Liu Ba kneeling on the ground, and did not rush to pull Liu Ba up.


    Chen Dao, Huo Jun and Liu Ba are responsible for the accident in Yizhou.


    This is a matter that cannot be shirked.


    Liu Xiu didn''t speak, and the rest of the officials were trembling. Liu Ba, kneeling on the ground, was also uneasy. But in any case, Liu Ba can only admit it.


    Who got him involved in this?


    A moment later, Liu Xiu said, "get up."


    "Here it is


    Liu BA was relieved and stood up with his back bent slightly.


    How much do you know about Liu Yidao


    Liu Ba replied, "according to my humble position, the people who attacked General Chen were the barbarians and Bo people in Yizhou. These people were fierce and fearless of death. They attacked when Huo Jun and Chen Dao were no longer there. That''s the situation today."


    "I don''t know anything about it after asking about my humble position."


    "On the day of the war, General Chen Dao left the camp at noon, followed by commander Huo."


    "Because both of them are not there, the camp will be in a hurry and not defend well."


    "As for what happened between the two, I don''t know."


    Liu Ba is also full of fog, can not figure out what is going on.


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    He also inquired about the news.


    In Liu Xiu''s view, this situation is likely to be that Chen Dao is suspected, and Huo Jun goes to explore and is found, and finally Huo Jun is taken. However, there are also some suspicious points in this problem. If Chen Dao is obedient to Liu Bei, he will not disappear together. He should return to the camp, pretend not to know, and then wait for Liu Xiu''s way.


    Finally, Chen Dao and Huo Jun disappear together.


    This is where you can.


    Liu Xiu also considered that Chen Dao had not defected, but many things didn''t make sense.


    Liu Xiu said, "are you sure you are in control of Chengdu?"


    Liu BA''s face was full of self-confidence. He held up his head and said, "I''m confident in my humble position. There''s no problem in Chengdu. Perhaps, there will be some lowly jobs that are not controlled, but the main soldiers, important checkpoints and important granaries are under control. "


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    Liu BA''s approach is correct.


    In a war, the army, checkpoints and grain must be controlled.


    These are vital things.


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, a soldier came running at full speed.


    The soldiers came to Liu Xiu and reported: "to the king of Chu, there are a large number of troops in the southwest of Chengdu. These soldiers are like savages. Their clothes are very shabby, and many of them are still topless. "


    Liu Xiumei head a pick, way: "the other party''s flag can have inquired clearly?"


    The soldier said, "the flag of the other side is Liu, but it is not clear who it is."


    Liu xiudao: "how far is it from us?"


    The soldier replied, "one hour at most."


    Liu Xiu ordered: "explore again!"


    "Here it is


    The soldier turned and backed down.


    Jia Xu stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Bei is here."


    In addition to Liu Bei, Jia Xu did not expect anyone else to have the ability to accept the Bo people and the barbarians in Yizhou.


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    Here comes Liu Bei.


    Now Liu Xiu arrived, Liu Bei finally showed his tusks and finally appeared.


    When Liu Ba heard Jia Xu''s words, he was extremely shocked. He looked incredible and said, "how can it be? How could it be Liu Bei? "


    Liu Ba is also clear about Liu Bei''s situation.


    In Jiaozhou, Liu Bei was defeated.


    How did Liu Bei come to Yizhou?


    "It''s Liu Bei who''s coming," Liu said


    Immediately, Liu Xiu and Liu Ba retreated to the gate of Chengdu. He first let Sha Moke mount the tower and take over the defense of the tower. Then he took the soldiers into the city.


    Only by controlling the city tower can Liu Xiu rest assured.


    The army was stationed on the top of the city and waited quietly.


    Time goes by.


    The atmosphere on the tower became a little oppressive.


    All of a sudden, there was a black army and a rhythmic roar outside the city.In the voice, with generosity and excitement.


    The leader, who is not Liu Bei, is wearing armor and a double sword hanging around his waist?


    Beside Liu Bei is Zhuge Liang.


    They came with an army of barbarians and Bo people.


    There are 50000 people in this army.


    This strength is the foundation of Liu Bei and the result of his efforts over the years.


    When the army arrived outside the city, Liu Bei raised his head and chest. He looked up at the tower of Chengdu City with a bright smile in his eyes and said in a loud voice, "where is Liu Xiu?"


    In the voice, with excitement.


    This time, Liu Bei felt more happy than ever.


    The depression accumulated in my heart, completely spit out, feel relaxed all over.


    Liu Xiu was standing on the tower. He looked at Liu Bei below and said, "Liu Xuande, I haven''t seen you for many years. You went to Yizhou. It''s a rabbit. It''s really you


    On hearing this, Liu Bei''s face turned black.


    Liu Xiu''s mouth, as always tricky, is really hateful.


    Liu Beilang said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, I''m here today to recover everything I lost."


    Liu xiudao: "what have you lost? Liu Bei, you are a bachelor, your royal family name is false; you are hypocritical, you have been wandering around. You have nothing. How can you lose it? "


    Liu Bei''s eyes are cold.


    Liu Xiu''s mouth is really weak. He still has a strong mouth.


    Liu Bei said: "Liu Xiu, do you have any significance in being so brave?"


    "You should know the news of Chen Dao''s defeat. Do you still remember them now?"


    "These two are in my hands."


    Liu Bei big sleeve a whisk, command a way: "come a person, bring a person up."


    With an order, Chen Dao and Huo Jun, who are bound by all kinds of things, are taken with them.


    Chen''s shoulder is still tied with gauze to prevent the wound from deteriorating, while Huo Jun is standing on one side with a wilting face.


    Two people have not been submissive, so it is not good.


    Liu Bei held his head high, with a smile on his face, and said, "Liu Xiu, do you see that? The two of them are in my hands, and now I has the final say. Of course, if you don''t care about their life or death, you can also ignore them and attack directly. "


    Liu Xiu looks at Chen Dao and Huo Jun.


    Chen to the body, with a strip of wounds.


    Relatively speaking, Huo Jun is better.


    But now they are both prisoners and controlled by Liu Bei.

 Chapter 678

    Chengdu, military camp outside the city.


    At this time, the Sixth Army camp was in chaos.


    Originally, Huo Jun and Chen Zhi left one after another, resulting in the camp was not guarded by the general, and the camp was broken.


    Although soon after, the enemy who attacked the camp left and the camp recovered slightly.


    But after this wave of attack, it wasn''t long before there was a second wave.


    The second attack was unexpected by the Sixth Army.


    The Sixth Army, which had just stabilized, was suddenly attacked by the second wave. The army was in chaos and completely disorganized.


    The army of tens of thousands of people was directly destroyed.


    The whole camp is in a mess.


    And the army that attacked the camp suddenly disappeared.


    The Sixth Army left behind is already a wreck.


    One by one, the soldiers wailed, and the situation was extremely tragic.


    When Liu Xiu arrived at the Sixth Army with Pang Tong, Jia Xu and Zhang Ya, he saw a mess.


    This place is a complete mess.


    Liu Xiu looked at all this with a look of shock in his eyes.


    The Sixth Army is defeated!


    This is what the Sixth Army is like.


    Jia Xu, Pang Tong and Zhang Yan were also quite shocked.


    Jia Xu said: "king of Chu, it seems that the old guess should not be wrong. There is no doubt that Liu Bei is behind Yizhou. The Sixth Army of Yizhou collapsed completely, and such a big thing happened, but Cao Cao and Sun Quan didn''t do anything, which means that they didn''t plan for it. Liu Bei is the only one left. "


    Pang Tong said: "every step is slower. Now we are somewhat passive. "


    Zhang Yan stood quietly.


    For the situation of Yizhou, Zhang jaw also made a certain understanding.


    Now that such a big thing has happened in Yizhou, Zhang Yan, as a military general, now has a chance to stand out.


    If there was no war, there would be no chance for that jaw.


    The value of generals is shown through wars one after another.


    Now, we also need such opportunities.


    Liu xiudao: "Deng Zhan!"


    "King!"


    Deng Zhan stepped forward and bowed his hands.


    Liu xiudao: "you will go to the royal guards in Chengdu immediately to inquire about Liu ba."


    "Here it is


    Deng Zhan answered, and then directly ordered him to go down.


    At the moment, Liu Xiu was a little worried.


    When the Sixth Army was annihilated, he still doesn''t know the situation in Chengdu. If Liu Ba had problems, the situation in Chengdu, Shu county and even Yizhou would be a bit serious.


    Jia Xu said: "king, according to my analysis, Liu Ba should have no problem."


    Liu xiudao: "why?"


    Jia Xu explained: "in fact, it''s very simple. Liu Bei doesn''t have the strength yet."


    "If Liu Bei seizes Chengdu and Shu County, his influence will be very strong."


    "But now, Liu Bei is still in the dark, proving that his strength is not enough."


    "Under such circumstances, Chengdu should be safe."


    Jia Xu''s deep eyes twinkled with wisdom, and said: "however, how many people have been controlled or fallen to Liu Bei in Chengdu''s Officialdom? That''s hard to find out, at least in a short time, it''s hard to judge."


    Liu Xiu also nodded and agreed with Jia Xu''s analysis.


    "Come on, let''s find a place to live first."


    Liu Xiu no longer delay time, with a party to find a place to live.


    At night, the moon is bright and the stars are dim.


    In the sky, a moon hangs across the sky.


    Liu Xiu, Pang Tong and others have already rested.


    At this time, Deng Zhan came to Liu Xiu''s room and knocked on the door.


    After a while, a rustling sound sounded.


    When the door opened, Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan, waved his hand and said, "come in!"


    Take your seat.


    Liu xiudao: "what''s the situation?"


    Deng Zhan replied: "what we have found out is that Chengdu has not been attacked. After Liu Ba got the news that the Sixth Army had been attacked, the whole city was under martial law."


    Liu Xiu nodded, Liu BA''s practice is still good.


    In the present situation, martial law must be enforced.


    Otherwise, the situation in Chengdu will be very dangerous.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and asked, "according to the information you inquired, is Liu Ba reliable?"


    When the Sixth Army happened, Liu Xiu was suspicious of Chengdu officials.


    Before taking Liu Bei, these people are suspected.


    Perhaps, those who collude with Liu Bei are among them.


    Deng Zhan thought about it, and then said slowly: "king, according to the information we have inquired about, Mr. Liu should be reliable. On the one hand, Mr. Liu was promoted by you. On the other hand, Mr. Liu has a good official voice. "Speaking of this, Deng Zhan stopped for a moment and said: "I think that when it comes to Liu BA''s official position, the only one who can give him more rights is the king. A precarious Liu Bei can give him nothing. So I think Liuba is reliable. "


    After listening, Liu Xiu nodded slightly.


    Deng Zhan''s analysis is true.


    Liu Xiu said: "at present, our news is seriously lagging behind. Although I went to Chengdu first, it is difficult for me to control the situation. So, your situation is crucial. Fully mobilize the royal guards to distinguish the situation. "


    "Here it is


    Deng exhibition is very exciting, and he is also very excited.


    The machines of the royal guards are running with all their strength. Deng Zhan is in power.


    He thinks it''s a good feeling.


    Deng Zhan added: "king, there is another news from the royal guards. Tomorrow morning, the army led by Huang Hu and Sha Moke will arrive in Chengdu."


    Liu Xiu was heartened by the news.


    When the yellow tiger comes, he will be much more relaxed.


    With the army in charge, Liu Xiu was able to plan many things.


    Liu xiudao said, "as soon as Huang Hu arrives, we will join him and send Liu Ba out of Chengdu to meet him."


    "Here it is


    Deng Zhan bowed his hand.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and Deng Zhan left.


    The next morning, after Liu Xiu got up and washed, Deng Zhan came to Liu Xiu to deliver a message that Huang Hu would arrive in half an hour.


    When Liu Xiu heard the news, he did not insist on going straight to Huang Hu''s army with Pang Tong and Jia Xu.


    The two sides soon joined up.


    Huang Hu looked unhappy and said, "king, this time it''s really boring. I thought someone was going to ambush us, and the general was ready. But along the way, it was so smooth that we didn''t meet the enemy, not even a mountain bandit. "


    Shamoko shouldered the mace and nodded: "it''s a pity that tiger''s head makes sense."


    Liu xiudao: "you did not encounter ambush, that is good."


    "Now, the situation in Yizhou is a bit complicated."


    "The Sixth Army stationed in Yizhou was completely destroyed. Even Chen Dao and Huo Jun were missing."


    "Next, there will be a big war in Yizhou."


    There is anger in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    This time, he was really depressed. He had never been in the same situation since he came across this era.


    Huang Hu a listen, way: "king, really?"


    Liu Xiu glared at Huang Hu and said, "do you think I''m joking?"


    Huang Hu, with a smile, said, "I will know my mistake!"


    From the overall situation of Yizhou, the disappearance of Chen Dao and Huo Jun will affect the overall situation. But for Huang Hu, he is a war maniac, just want to fight to kill the enemy.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "let the soldiers under his command rest for a while, and then prepare to enter the city."


    "Here it is


    Huang Hu and shamoko left.


    Liu Xiu called Deng Zhan and told him to call Liu Ba out of the city to meet him.


    Liu Ba is the governor of Yizhou, who is in charge of Yizhou.


    At this time, Liu Xiu must let Liu Ba come out to meet him. Only in this way can Liu Xiu ensure the authenticity of Liu ba.


    If Liu Ba has any problems, he will not dare to come out.


    Liu Ba came out to meet him, and to a certain extent, he had given his life and death to Liu Xiu.


    Deng Zhan sent someone to inform.


    Half an hour later, Liu Ba arrived with the prefect of Shu county and the officials stationed in Chengdu.


    As soon as Liu Ba saw Liu Xiu, he knelt down on the ground and said, "king of Chu, your incompetence has led to the turmoil in Yizhou. Please let king of Chu surrender."

 Chapter 679

    Liu Xiu''s look was more cold and solemn.


    Liu Xiu never thought that Chen Dao and Huo Jun were arrested.


    Now both are prisoners.


    Once upon a time, Liu Xiu caught Zhang Fei, making Liu Bei in a dilemma.


    Now, Liu Bei has caught Chen Dao and Huo Jun, which also makes Liu Xiu in a dilemma.


    At this moment, all eyes focused on Liu Xiu, waiting for Liu Xiu to make a decision.


    "Hoo


    Liu Xiuchang sighed and relaxed his tension.


    Liu Bei stands under the tower. He can see Liu Xiu, but he can''t see the change of his face clearly. However, it can be expected that Liu Xiu is absolutely in a dilemma.


    Liu Bei was happy and said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, what''s your choice?"


    Liu xiudao said, "you captured Chen Dao and Huo Jun, but you didn''t kill them. Let''s say, what conditions do you have?"


    When he came to Liu Xiu, he had no choice.


    Liu Xiu can only deal with Liu Bei.


    Liu Bei opened his mouth and said, "my condition is very simple. You will withdraw from Shu County, Qianwei county and Yueyi County, and I will take over the south of these three counties."


    The words shocked everyone on the tower.


    Everyone was shocked by Liu Bei.


    Open your mouth!


    It''s a lion''s mouth.


    As soon as Liu Bei opens his mouth, he will have half of Yizhou. The conditions are too harsh.


    After capturing Chen Dao and Huo Jun, it''s really exorbitant to ask for these places.


    Jia Xu first objected. He looked dignified and said, "king, you must not agree with Liu Bei. If the king''s momentum weakens first, then Liu Bei will be stronger. As long as the king doesn''t let go, Liu Bei can''t take Chen Dao and Huo Jun for granted. "


    Pang Tong nodded his head and said, "Mr. Jia has a point."


    Two great counsellors, oppose together.


    Both of them know the value of half Yizhou.


    It would be a great loss to exchange half of Yizhou for Chen and Huojun.


    Liu Xiu stares at Chen Dao and Huo Jun outside the city for a long time.


    Chen Dao was bound. After hearing Liu Bei''s condition, he tried his best to say after his death: "king, don''t worry about me? It''s all my fault. It''s all my fault. I made it. Don''t worry about me. "


    In his voice, there was endless regret.


    He led to this step.


    Huo Jun said: "king, I will be your minister in my next life. Please send your troops to attack Liu Bei and avenge your ministers. "


    Although Huo Jun didn''t speak much, he was very powerful.


    As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked Liu Xiu to send troops.


    When Liu Bei heard what Chen Dao and Huo Jun said, he began to smile.


    These words are very beautiful and suitable for Liu Xiu.


    Liu Beilang said: "Liu Xiu, do you hear me? Have you heard the words of your loyal ministers? "


    "Chen Dao is my man. He was tamed by you."


    "I asked Chen Dao to surrender and cooperate with me to take you, but he didn''t agree."


    "You, Liu Xiu, are really powerful."


    Geng Zhongbei said, "I want to give up on you? Or do you plan to cede Yizhou? Ha ha ha... "


    The wild laughter came from Liu Bei''s mouth.


    At this time, Liu Bei is extremely arrogant.


    Liu Xiu stood on the tower, holding the wall with both hands, his eyes angry.


    Old Liu Bei, I''m tired of living.


    In the past, Liu Bei escaped.


    This time, Liu Xiu must not let Liu Bei escape.


    Liu Xiu looked at Jia Xu and Pang Tong and said, "Wen he and Shi Yuan, I want to exchange Chen Dao and Huo Jun, and at the same time, I want to destroy Liu Bei. What can you do?"


    Pang Tong, with a taut face, said, "Your Majesty, it''s very difficult."


    Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw, and his face looked thoughtful.


    Liu Xiu flatly said: "as long as I want the result, Chen Dao and Huo Jun can''t give up, but Yizhou can''t give up either."


    "If it''s you, it''s you."


    "I won''t give up either."


    "No one under my command will be thrown away as an outcast."


    Liu Xiu has firm eyes and resolute face.


    There is not a shred of room for negotiation to say this.


    Liu Xiu is very clear about his current situation. He can''t give up Chen Dao and Huo Jun. if he gives up Chen Dao and Huo Jun now, it will affect the unity of his subordinates.


    A monarch must be able to bring his people together.


    Liu xiutie is determined to exchange Chen Dao and Huo Jun, which is to enhance the cohesion of his subordinates.


    During the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, King Zhao of Yan bought horse bones.


    In later generations, there are choices of saving people and losing land and saving land and losing people. Taizu chose saving people and losing land, to put it simply, in order to gather combat effectiveness.


    Now Liu Xiu is facing the same situation.Save people and lose land!


    He would rather keep the people under his command than abandon the generals for the sake of Yizhou.


    Jia Xu and Pang Tong nodded after listening.


    They have been following Liu Xiu for a long time and are familiar with Liu Xiu, so they are not surprised by Liu Xiu''s decision.


    The biggest shock was Zhang.


    This time, Zhang Yan came out with Liu Xiu for the first time.


    When he heard Liu Xiu''s words, he only felt a heat rising up in his heart, and his chest was extremely agitated.


    Liu Xiu''s words, let him this submissive person heart down.


    Chen Dao is also a demoted general.


    He is also a demoted general.


    If Liu Xiu can treat Chen like this, he can treat him like that.


    When Zhang chin looked at Liu Xiu, he couldn''t help but admire him.


    You regard me as your brothers!


    This is the way Liu Xiu treats his subordinates.


    Jia Xu thought for a moment, then said: "king, in a hurry, it must be quite difficult for us to come up with a solution. Please hold Liu Bei for a while and let him wait for a day before we can discuss the strategy. "


    After listening to this, Liu Xiu said, "the military adviser has a point. First, we should stabilize the situation."


    Without hesitation, he said in a loud voice, "Liu Bei, I have to consider your conditions. One day, I need one day to think about it. One day later, I''ll give you an answer. It''s war or peace. I''ll see you tomorrow. "


    After listening, Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang.


    Zhuge Liang has to make up his mind about this matter.


    Zhuge Liang gently shakes the feather fan. He nods his head and says, "Lord, promise Liu Xiu. It''s just a day. It doesn''t make much difference. "


    Liu Bei nodded.


    At the moment, Liu Bei looked up at the city floor and said, "Liu Xiu, I''ll wait for your reply."


    "Withdraw


    Liu Bei ordered directly.


    Tens of thousands of barbarians retreated and soon disappeared outside the city.


    On the tower.


    Liu Xiu, Pang Tong and others were relieved to see this scene.


    Liu Bei retreated. They had a little time to think about it. At least they would not make a passive decision in a very short time. With enough time to think about it, we can make a leisurely layout.


    Liu Xiu directly stationed Huang Hu in the garrison building, and then took Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Zhang Yan, and Liu Ba to a separate room to discuss things.


    The party entered the room and took their seats.


    Liu Xiu said straight to the point: "no more nonsense. How can Chen Dao and Huo Jun win Liu Bei? Let''s discuss it now."


    When they heard the speech, they looked solemn.


    This is not an easy thing to handle.

 Chapter 680

    The autumn wind is rustling, and a little cool wind blows into the room.


    Everyone was so cold that they could not help tightening their clothes, as if they felt a chill.


    This is a chill from Liu Xiu.


    This time, Liu Xiu was really angry.


    Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and kept twirling his beard to think. From time to time, he frowned and thought about the solution.


    But it''s not that simple.


    On the one hand, Liu Bei came prepared and prepared for many years. He must have many cards.


    On the other hand, Liu Bei also has excellent strategists.


    Under such circumstances, if you want to calculate Liu Bei, you are in a very passive situation.


    Jia Xu thought about the solution and kept thinking about it.


    Pang Tong, too, is thinking.


    Pang Tong is well aware of Liu Xiu''s nature. Since Liu Xiu has decided to bring back Chen Dao and Huo Jun, he will bring them back safely.


    There is no room for discussion. We can only think about solutions.


    This is the only way to do it at this time.


    Zhang chin sat down and looked at the faces of the people.


    See a person all don''t open mouth, Zhang jaw heart also quite anxious.


    The strategy is uncertain, and Zhang has no chance to go to the battlefield.


    Zhang Chin''s eyes turned, and he suddenly said, "King Chu, I have an immature idea."


    Liu xiudao: "you say!"


    Liu Xiu knew something about Zhang''s jaw.


    This man was a general under Yuan Shao and one of the four generals in Jizhou.


    During the Guandu war, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fought, Yuan Shao''s granary was broken, Yuan Shao attacked Cao Cao''s camp and was defeated, and finally fled in confusion, but Cao Cao pursued him.


    But Yuan Shao left Gao Lan and Zhang''s jaw broken.


    To say that it is the end of the war is to abandon a son.


    Under such circumstances, Zhang Yan and Gao Lan finally surrendered to Cao Cao and gained Cao Cao''s reuse.


    Under the command of Cao Cao, Zhang Yan made many war achievements and was highly valued by Cao Cao.


    This is a man of ability.


    Therefore, Liu Xiu also holds great hope for Zhang''s opening.


    Zhang chin said in a deep voice: "Liu Bei''s trump card in his hand is nothing more than general Chen Dao and Huo Jun''s military division. As long as we don''t give a reply, Liu Bei doesn''t dare to kill Chen Dao and Huo Jun, otherwise the king will wave his army to fight Liu Bei."


    "On this premise, the king can take the initiative."


    "The king just needs to delay."


    "Because the tens of thousands of barbarians under Liu Bei want countless grains every day."


    "They are short of food. When they lose their fighting capacity, they can be defeated."


    Zhang jaw zhengse way: "this is the end will not mature idea, please think twice."


    The strategy is simple.


    That is to delay time and let Liu Bei consume food.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "this strategy is not feasible."


    Zhang maxillofacial way: "ask big wang to show next."


    In the second day, Liu Jun and Wang Huo will not have enough time to explain


    The strategy of delaying time is actually based on ignoring the lives of Chen Dao and Huo Jun.


    As long as we don''t care about them, the war will be smooth.


    Unfortunately, Liu Xiu can''t ignore them. That''s the crux of the matter.


    After hearing Liu Xiu''s explanation, Zhang chin sighed.


    It''s really hard to deal with this matter.


    Suddenly, Jia Xu said, "king, it''s probably a good choice to procrastinate."


    Liu xiudao: "what''s Wenhe''s up to?"


    Jia Xu''s advice has always been treacherous and unexpected.


    Moreover, Jia Yu''s strategy rarely fails.


    With Jia Xu''s plan, this war has a great chance.


    Jia Xu said: "it is necessary to procrastinate. At the same time, Liu Bei asked for these places and gave them to him."


    "Hiss!"


    Liu Ba, the governor of Yizhou, took a cool breath.


    It''s too generous.


    Given all these places to Liu Bei, his Yizhou governor is not worthy of the name.


    Liu Ba said: "once you give Liu Bei Shu Jun, Qianwei Jun and other places, it''s meat bun beating dog."


    Liu Xiu also looked at Jia Xu.


    He believed that Jia Xu''s wisdom would never be so simple.


    Jia Xu was not in a hurry to explain, but said: "before explaining these counties to Liu Bei, let''s talk about another thing."


    Liu Xiu asked, "what''s the matter?"


    Everyone looked at Jia Xu and waited for his explanation.


    Jia Xu said slowly: "on the way back, I''ve been thinking about a problem.""Liu Bei opened his mouth to the south of Yizhou, such as Shu county and Qianwei county. These places are under the command of the king. He suddenly took over. Can he gain a firm foothold?"


    "It''s unrealistic to say that Liu Bei wants to hold Chen Zhi and Huo Jun together all the time so as to blackmail the king."


    "If the king agrees to divide Yizhou, Liu Bei must return it to Chen Dao and Huojun."


    "After that, the king can attack Liu Bei."


    Jia Xu''s eyes sparkled with wisdom, saying: "between countries, there is absolutely no so-called faith, only eternal interests."


    "As long as the king has no constraints, he will attack Liu Bei."


    "At that time, Liu Bei has just entered Shu county. Can he stop the king''s troops? It must be unstoppable. "


    "So the question is, where is Liu Bei''s strength?"


    "Why does Liu Bei dare to open his mouth and think he can be a stable Shu county?"


    Jia Xu''s eyes, looking at the people.


    In Jia Xu''s analysis, the train of thought began to clarify bit by bit.


    The crux of the problem has been found out.


    Pang Tong heard Jia Xu''s analysis. Suddenly, there was a flash of light in his mind. All doubts disappeared, all confusion disappeared, and everything became clear.


    Pang Tong praised: "Jiang is still spicy. What Mr. Jia said is really effective."


    As soon as Jia Xu heard it, he understood that Pang Tong had also understood it.


    Jia Xu said, "Shiyuan, where do you think Liu Bei is?"


    Pang Tong said, "according to me, Liu Bei has three real strengths."


    "The first is the power of the barbarians under his command, which can not be ignored."


    "Second,..."


    "Third,..."


    "These three points are Liu Bei''s confidence."


    Pang Tong elaborated three points and said: "only in this case can Liu Bei have enough time and energy to stabilize the situation. Otherwise, even if Liu Bei captured Shu county and other places, it would be useless. "


    When they heard this, they all realized.


    After Liu Xiu thought about it for a while, he was also in a good mood.


    If you think about it, you will find that it is exactly like Pang Tong''s analysis.


    Liu xiudao: "Wenhe''s analysis is reasonable. On this premise, if we delay with Liu Bei, I''m afraid it will be in Liu Bei''s favor. It''s in Liu Bei''s expectation to delay for a certain period of time. "


    Jia Xu said, "the great king is right."


    At the moment, the haze in Jia Xu''s heart is gone, and his face is full of smiles.


    Jia Xu said: "however, in order to make Liu Bei think that the plan is successful, we have to give Liu Bei a few more days. These days are also the time we arranged. King, I think that we can do this next, do this


    One by one, from Jia Xu''s mouth.


    Detailed plan, all clear show.


    After hearing this, the people''s faces were also full of smiles and looked forward to it.


    Let Liu Bei be arrogant for a while, and then fight back.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu immediately made a decision and agreed to Jia Xu''s plan.


    Liu Xiu called Deng Zhan and asked him to give notice.


    After arranging the orders, Liu Xiu relaxed.


    Things go smoothly, Liu Xiu tight string can finally relax, no longer tight.

 Chapter 681

    The barbarian camp.


    There is no flaw in the presence of troops.


    Zhuge Liang made this arrangement by himself.


    Zhuge Liang arranged the affairs of the camp and went to the camp where Chen Dao was detained.


    Today, Chen Dao and Huo Jun are in separate custody.


    When Zhuge Liang saw Chen Dao, he sat down and said, "Uncle Zhi, the reason why my Lord did this to you is because of his deep love and responsibility. He thinks highly of you and looks forward to you. After hearing that you are loyal to Liu Xiu, he lost his temper."


    Chen Dao''s shoulder is still red.


    Although bandaged, but the wound is still a dull pain.


    Chen Zhi said: "Mr. Zhuge, you are here for nothing. I''m already the king of Chu. I won''t change anything. "


    Zhuge Liang sighed, "Why are you suffering?"


    Chen Dao stares at Zhuge Liang and suddenly says, "Mr. Zhuge, I have some doubts. I want to ask for advice."


    Zhuge Liang said, "you say it!"


    Chen Dao said, "listen to the king of Chu talking about Mr. Zhuge. Once, the king of Chu asked Mr. Zhuge to come out of the mountain to help. Why is Mr. Zhuge not optimistic about the king of Chu?"


    Zhuge Liang''s calm face suddenly changed.


    Once upon a time, Liu Xiu did invite him.


    Zhuge Liang didn''t want to work for Liu Xiu, but chose to avoid Liu Xiu, so Zhuge Liang didn''t work for Liu Xiu.


    Zhuge Liang''s expression changes in his pupils, which did not deceive Chen.


    Chen Dao asked, "Mr. Zhuge, why?"


    Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan gently and soon recovered his calm, saying: "because the Lord can give me enough strength to show my strong points. As for Liu Xiu, he can''t give me what I want. "


    Chen said, "but Liu Xiu, who invited you out of the mountain in those days, can also show your strong points."


    Zhuge Liang said, "Liu Xiu has Pang Shiyuan''s help. Why do you need me?"


    Chen to a listen, smile: "so, Mr. Kong Ming so, roughly is rather for chicken head, not for phoenix tail."


    Zhuge Liang said, "Uncle Chen is the one who knows me."


    When he was in Xiangyang, he often met Liu Xiu in lumen Academy.


    Zhuge Liang had no doubt about Liu Xiu''s ability.


    However, Zhuge Liang had the help of Pang Tong. Zhuge Liang did not want to be subordinate to Pang Tong, nor did he want Liu Xiu to be unable to rely on him. Therefore, Zhuge Liang finally chose Liu Bei.


    Chen Zhi asked, "has Mr. Zhuge ever regretted it? Regret loyalty to Liu Bei. If you are loyal to Liu Xiu, you are definitely Liu Xiu''s confidant. He will not follow Liu Bei to hide in a mess. "


    Every word is stuck in Zhuge Liang''s heart.


    Zhuge Liang naturally considered his own situation.


    However, he has been loyal to Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang does not allow himself to change his family.


    Zhuge Liang said, "I never regret it!"


    Chen Dao nodded and said, "Mr. Zhuge has a good ambition. I deeply admire Mr. Zhuge and I agree with him. Therefore, I never regret being loyal to the king of Chu, let alone betraying him. "


    On hearing this, Zhuge Liang sighed.


    Here is Chen Dao''s burden.


    To say so many words and ask so many things is to elaborate ideas.


    Zhuge Liang said: "Uncle Zhi, you will regret it, because the Lord will rise step by step, take Yizhou, take Jingzhou, and defeat Liu Bei."


    "Once upon a time, Zhuge and Kongming were so naive," he said with a laugh


    Zhuge Liang said: "this is my confidence!"


    Chen Dao said: "even Cao Cao, who is in the north of China, has been defeated by the king of Chu. Liu Bei, like a drowning dog, still wants to defeat the king of Chu? What a joke. "


    Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "this attack on Yizhou has not been successful?"


    Chen Dao said: "this time you can succeed, because the king does not know your situation."


    "When you are in the dark and the king is on the table, you will be calculated naturally."


    "But now, you are exposed."


    "Under such circumstances, do you think Liu Bei still has a chance?"


    "No more!"


    "In front of the army of the king of Chu, Liu Bei will be defeated."


    Chen Dao''s eyes are firm. He firmly believes that Liu Xiu can win. Now Liu Xiu is a strong enough force to occupy Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Jingzhou and other places.


    Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu is bound to win.


    Zhuge Liang said: "Uncle Zhi, you are so naive. I won''t argue with you either. We''ll see. "


    "I''ll see," Chen said


    Zhuge Liang left Chen Dao''s camp and went to Huo Jun''s camp.


    Entering Huo Jun''s camp, Zhuge Liang meets him.


    This time, Huo Jun was captured. Both Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei were interrogated for severe punishment.


    Zhuge Liang said, "commander Huo."Huo Jun said, "ZHUGE Liang, I''m defeated by you. If you want to kill or cut me, I''ll do as you please."


    Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "why kill you?"


    After a pause, Zhuge Liang said, "military adviser Huo is a talented person, and the Lord admires him very much. Therefore, I hope Mr. Huo can work for the Lord. "


    If we can plot against Huo Jun, it will play a great role.


    For Liu Bei''s future layout, it will be more calm.


    Huo Jun stared at Zhuge Liang and said, "ZHUGE Liang, you are really delusional. I was born in the state of Chu and died in the state of Chu. How can I serve such a person as Liu Bei?"


    "Liu Bei is just a lost dog."


    "Even if you get an advantage for a while, it''s hard to last."


    "In front of the soldiers of the king of Chu, Liu Bei could not resist."


    Huo Jun said: "ZHUGE Liang, you have gained an advantage for the time being, but it''s all rootless.". When you are completely exposed, you will no longer be hiding in the dark, and you will surely lose. "


    After hearing this, Zhuge Liang frowned.


    He didn''t expect Huo Jun to be so firm.


    Huo Jun sneered twice. He didn''t take Zhuge Liang''s solicitation seriously.


    Even if he is killed, Huo Jun is not afraid.


    Liu Xiu is very kind to Huo Jun.


    In the past years, Xiangyang carried out scientific examination and selection.


    At that time, Huo Jun stood out and successfully entered Liu Xiu''s sight.


    Since then, Huo Jun has been valued by Liu Xiu, and gradually rose to become the commander of the Sixth Army.


    All this is the result of Liu Xiuqi''s emphasis on Huojun.


    Without Liu Xiu''s promotion, Huo Jun could not have been in charge at a young age.


    Therefore, Huo Jun will not surrender.


    And Huo Jun believes in Liu Xiu. He believes that Liu Xiu is the real hero and that Liu Xiu can sweep the world.


    Huo Jun added: "ZHUGE Kongming, if you work for the king of Chu now, it''s not impossible for you to become a marquis and minister in the future. If you carry it to the end with the king, you will end up dead. "


    When Zhuge Liang heard this, he was even more livid.


    He came to persuade Huo Jun, but he was persuaded by Huo Jun instead.


    Zhuge Liang said, "Huo Jun, we''ll see. Liu Xiu is bound to fail, and my Lord is bound to rise. "


    For the next plan, Zhuge Liang has enough confidence.


    Seeing Huo Jun''s resolute attitude, Zhuge Liang stopped persuading him and left directly.


    He returned to Liu Bei''s camp.


    Zhuge Liang bowed his hand and said, "Lord!"


    Liu Bei said with a smile: "please sit down, military adviser!"


    After Zhuge Liang sat down, he said, "I went to see Chen Dao and Huo Jun again. I wanted to recruit them, but they were bewitched by Liu Xiu and didn''t want to surrender."


    Liu Bei said, "if we do not surrender, we will not surrender. Anyway, our goal has been achieved."


    As soon as the words changed, Liu Bei said with a smile: "Liu Xiu has to think for a day. In my opinion, this is Liu Xiu''s procrastination. Ha ha ha, but he didn''t know that it was just in the military division''s calculation. "


    After hearing this, Zhuge Liang also laughed: "Liu Xiu will definitely think that we are short of food. Once the time goes on, it will be bad for us. If you can delay one day, you will naturally delay one day. "


    Liu Bei nodded with a look of approval.


    Liu Bei is looking forward to this battle with Liu Xiu.


    This battle will be won!


    Liu Bei said, "military adviser, what happened to the people we contacted?"


    Zhuge Liang replied, "don''t worry, my Lord. Everything is ready."


    "Good!"


    Liu Bei gave a smile and looked forward to it.


    Liu Bei said, "now it''s up to Liu Xiu to react."


    Zhuge Liang said: "when Liu Xiu meets such a situation, he is bound to be in a mess, and he has no choice. So in this battle, the Lord is bound to win. In this war, our victory can be foreseen. As long as the Lord has a foothold in Shu county and a firm foothold in Yizhou, the situation in the world will change completely. "


    Liu Bei said, "I will wait and see."


    They discussed the follow-up and decided the next thing.

 Chapter 682

    At night, it began to rain.


    September weather, a autumn rain, a cool.


    Wearing a cloak, Liu Xiu stood on the city tower, gazing at the misty rain outside the city.


    We will have to negotiate with Liu Bei tomorrow.


    It''s time for the bayonet to turn red.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of walking came from behind Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu looked back and was impressed by Jia Xu.


    Liu xiudao: "military strategist, it''s so late, why don''t you rest?"


    Jia Xu said: "I can''t sleep. I came out to have a look. I didn''t expect that the king hasn''t rested yet. Is the king still thinking about the war with Liu Bei? "


    Liu Xiu said: "this war involves a lot, and Zhuge Liang''s plan is so big that it''s hard to be relieved."


    Although he had made up his mind, Liu Xiu was also worried.


    After all, Zhuge Liang prepared for a long time.


    Jia Xu said: "my Lord, don''t worry. If we didn''t fight with Cao Cao before, we still have some difficulties in fighting Zhuge Liang this time. But now, we have a good chance of winning. This time I''m going to fight Liu Bei, it''s a chance to take Liu Bei completely. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and agreed with Jia Xu''s analysis.


    After a while, Jia Xu left first.


    Liu Xiu looked at the drizzle, born for a long time, also returned to the room to rest.


    Cool autumn, night passed, although the road is muddy, but the sun is warm, particularly comfortable in the sun.


    After Liu Xiu got up and washed, he had breakfast early.


    "Dong! Dong


    The rumble of war drums sounded from outside the city.


    It''s a huge voice.


    At the same time, it was accompanied by rhythmic shouts, all in the dialect of barbarians and Bo people, which few soldiers in Chengdu could understand.


    With the sound of drums and shouts, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang came again.


    A large army is at the foot of the city.


    Liu Bei galloped forward and cried, "where is Liu Xiu?"


    This time, Liu Bei is going to take Shu county. He seems to have a lot of momentum.


    Liu Xiu stood on the tower and said, "Liu Bei, you are really on time. You came early in the morning."


    Liu Bei said: "don''t talk nonsense. Do you agree to deliver Shu County, Qianwei county and other places? If you don''t agree, give me a word. I''ll chop Chen Dao and Huo Jun first, and then we''ll fight to the death."


    Liu xiudao: "Liu Xuande, you have always been calm. How can you wait so much today. Don''t worry. There''s no hurry. If you can''t be impatient, you have to know


    Liu Bei big sleeve a whisk, way: "talk less nonsense!"


    At this time, Liu Bei was aggressive.


    That''s what he wants to do. He wants to force Liu Xiu into the corner, so that Liu Xiu can''t escape.


    Liu xiudao: "Liu Bei, I agree to give you Shu County, Qianwei county and other counties in southern Yizhou. But you have to give me some time. I need some time. "


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Liu Bei heard the speech and laughed directly.


    In the sound, there is pleasure.


    Cool!


    When Liu Bei heard Liu Xiu''s words, he felt all over.


    After laughing, Liu Bei said, "Liu Xiu, do you want to delay? Just, where can I give you too much time. You can order it directly, and the county officials will arrange it. I promise that I will never touch them. So I''ll give you three days. Three days later, you will withdraw from Shu County, and the rest of the counties will also withdraw one after another. "


    Three days is the time set by Zhuge Liang.


    This world not only satisfies Liu Xiu''s idea of delaying time, but also conforms to Liu Bei''s interests.


    After listening, Liu Xiu showed a smile on his face.


    Three days!


    These three days are enough for him to arrange a lot of things.


    Liu Bei thought he had a plan, but he didn''t know it was in Liu Xiu''s plan.


    Liu xiulang said: "three days will be three days. Three days later, our king will lead a large army outside Chengdu. You will release Chen Dao and Huo Jun, and our king will let you take over Chengdu."


    "Good!"


    Liu Bei agreed directly.


    After making a plan, Liu Bei left directly.


    The barbarian army came and went quickly, and then withdrew.


    Liu Xiu looks at Liu Bei''s back and smiles brightly. Liu Bei, Liu Bei, let you be arrogant for a few days. Once Chen Dao and Huo Jun get back, it''s the time for Liu Xiu to counter attack.


    For the next three days, Liu Xiu kept arranging things.


    One by one, quickly arrange it.


    Liu Xiu''s troops were mobilized at full speed.


    Three days is fleeting.


    This day is the time for exchange between the two sides.


    Liu Xiu led Huang Hu, Sha Moke and other officials from Yizhou out of the city and stationed outside the city.The other side of the army is Liu Bei.


    Liu Bei rode to the front of the army and said, "Liu Xiu, I will take over Chengdu first, and then release Chen Dao and Huojun." If he is released now, maybe Liu Xiu will go to war directly.


    Only by letting his troops occupy Chengdu and control the favorable terrain can Liu Bei have time to deal with it.


    Liu Xiu, with a gloomy face, said, "yes!"


    Today''s Chengdu tower has long been empty.


    All the soldiers were transferred by Liu Xiu.


    Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and nodded slightly. With Zhuge Liang''s command, the soldiers under his command took action and quickly entered Chengdu City.


    Chengdu, as the core of Yizhou, was managed by Liu Yan and Liu Zhang, and the city was strong.


    If you enter the city, you can defend it.


    The army entered the city and quickly controlled the city buildings and important checkpoints.


    Liu Xiu said, "Liu Bei, you can release people now. I have finished my promise to you. It''s your turn to release Chen Dao and Huo Jun


    Liu Bei''s eyes narrowed and said, "Liu Xiu, aren''t you afraid of my official''s repentance?"


    Liu xiudao: "Liu Bei, if you go back on your word, I will mobilize my army to fight directly with you to see if you can stand firm."


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Liu Bei laughed again and said, "the king of Chu is really wise. I really don''t have any plans to meet you. But the king of Chu, aren''t you afraid that I will attack you now? "


    Liu Xiu said coldly, "if you can defeat Wang, you can attack immediately."


    Now Liu Xiu is surrounded by not only the soldiers of the Sixth Army who have been gathered back, but also the soldiers stationed in Chengdu, as well as the elite of shamoko and Huang Hu.


    If Liu Bei wants to attack, Liu Xiu will never be afraid.


    If you want to fight, Liu Xiu will fight.


    Liu Bei raised his thumb and praised: "the king of Chu is worthy of being the king of Chu. Don''t worry, I won''t go to war."


    Liu xiudao: "Liu Bei, you talk a lot today. Let go


    Liu Bei began to laugh.


    He likes to see Liu Xiu eager.


    What a wonderful situation!


    With a wave of his sleeve, Liu Bei said, "come on, bring Chen Dao and Huo Jun up."


    With an order, the soldiers escorted Chen to Huo Jun.


    Liu Bei said: "Liu Xiu, Chen Dao and Huo Jun are both prisoners. You should be careful when you use them in the future. Ha ha ha... "


    At this point, Liu Bei couldn''t help laughing again.


    Today, Liu Bei can''t help but feel like laughing.


    Liu Xiuben said, "it''s a light arrangement."


    With a big wave of Liu Bei''s hand, the soldiers under his command were released, and Chen Zhi and Huo Jun were allowed to return to Liu Xiu''s army.


    Liu Xiu saw the two haggard people with a smile on his face,


    finally came back!


    When these two men returned to the army, Liu Xiucai had no more constraints.

 Chapter 683

    Liu Xiu is very relaxed at the moment.


    Now it''s time to fight back.


    Liu Bei has been arrogant for such a long time. It''s time to clean up Liu Bei.


    If we don''t pick up Liu Bei, I''m afraid Liu Bei will really think that he has won this time.


    Liu Bei looked at Liu Xiu with a smile on his face. He still looked confident. He stood in front of the army and said, "Liu Xiu, are you ready to fight back without Chen Dao and Huo Jun?"


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "those who know me are Liu Xuande!"


    At the moment, Liu Xiu did not obscure his ideas.


    At this point, Liu Xiu was no longer constrained.


    The intention to attack Liu Bei is also fully revealed.


    Around Liu Xiu, Huang Hu, Sha Moke and Zhang Yan were all eager to try.


    All three want to make contributions.


    Liu Bei swept away and said in a cold voice, "Liu Xiu, do you think our official will not be on guard against this? If you think so, you are very wrong. "


    Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows with a look of amazement.


    Then, Liu Xiu said, "do you still have a backhand?"


    When Liu Bei heard the speech, he couldn''t help laughing again. He liked to see Liu Xiu''s shriveled face.


    It''s a good feeling.


    Liu Bei said: "even if the military division had planned this step, it would have made preparations. Liu Xiu, you are too happy. If I have no hindhand to hold you back, will I release Chen Dao and Huo Jun? You are so naive


    He kept taunting Liu Xiu.


    He enjoys the moment, which is the most enjoyable.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed, and his eyes fell on Zhuge Liang. He said: "Kong Ming, you and I have fought for several times. In the past, I went to Longzhong to invite you out of the mountain, but you evaded me by pretending to travel. "


    "Unexpectedly, you and I became enemies."


    "You helped Liu Bei and lost many times. I didn''t expect that now, you still don''t give up."


    "What a pity!"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and sighed.


    Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Xiu and said with a smile, "Liu Xiu, you just have the upper hand temporarily. Now, my Lord has won Shu county and has a foothold. The situation in the world has not yet been known. "


    Liu Xiu said: "at the beginning, Liu Bei based in Jiaozhou, was not also defeated by me?"


    Zhuge Liang said: "the defeat of Jiaozhou was all done by the scholars."


    Zhuge Liang summed up Jiaozhou''s defeat afterwards and thought that it was because he didn''t take the corporal''s family completely. If the scholar''s family was eradicated early, there would be no follow-up civil strife, and Liu Xiu would not easily break it.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "it seems that Kong Ming is very confident about the current situation in Yizhou."


    Zhuge Liang said: "I''ve been preparing for many years, and I''m naturally confident."


    Liu Xiu tut tut two, way: "since so, then this king comes to guess."


    "Your successors should be Cao Cao and Sun Quan."


    "Whether Cao Cao or Sun Quan, they all hope that there will be turbulence in their territory."


    "The appearance of Liu Bei is in their interests."


    "Therefore, you Zhuge Liang contacted them early and asked Cao Cao and Sun Quan to send out their own troops to attack our king, so that our king could not be scrupulous and had to withdraw from Yizhou to suppress other wars."


    Liu Xiu said, "Kong Ming, is my king right?"


    Zhuge Liang''s face changed greatly.


    Liu Xiu had already understood his plan.


    When Zhuge Liang was at war with Liu Xiu this time, his backhand was to send people to unite with Cao Cao and Sun Quan to send troops from both sides to contain Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu''s subordinates were attacked everywhere, and Liu Xiu was unable to deal with Liu Bei with all his strength.


    Then Liu Bei has a chance to breathe.


    As long as Liu Bei survived this period of time, he would be able to control Shu County, Qianwei county and other places and have a foundation.


    In the future, facing Liu Xiu''s offensive, Liu Bei will not be afraid.


    Zhuge Liang recovered his calm and said, "Liu Xiu, even if you see through my plan, what can you do? Now you are extremely strong, defeated Cao Cao and oppressed Sun Quan. Both sides are afraid of you. "


    "The appearance of the Lord is in the interest of Cao Cao and Sun Quan. They also hope that someone will restrain you in Yizhou."


    "Today, both Cao Cao and Sun Quan have sent troops."


    "If you stay in Yizhou, Jiangdong and Cao Cao will tear a piece of meat off you."


    "It''s an honest plot. Can you crack it?"


    Zhuge Liang was still confident and fearless. He believed in his plan.


    Zhuge Liang has enough confidence in this war.


    Liu Xiu tut tut two Sheng, said: "what a powerful Zhuge Liang, what a powerful Zhuge Kongming, actually combined with Cao Cao and Sun Quan. Unfortunately, the king made arrangements four days ago to deploy troops to the border. "


    "Even if Cao Cao and Sun Quan are killed, they can resist for a while."


    "Under such circumstances, the king first exterminated you, and the crisis in Jingzhou naturally resolved."


    Liu Xiu said, "ZHUGE Liang, can you keep it?""Hiss!"


    Liu Bei took a cold breath and looked shocked.


    Liu Xiu is ready!


    Liu Xiu was prepared.


    At this moment, Liu Bei felt as if his heart had been hit by a bow and arrow.


    Just now, he kept satirizing Liu Xiu and was very happy.


    But now, Liu Bei feels happy too early. He thought Liu Xiu was at the bottom, but unexpectedly, Liu Xiu saw through the plan and made preparations early.


    Under the condition that Liu Xiu had already arranged, troops were stationed along the border of Chu, which could at least block the attacks of Cao and Wu.


    At this time, Liu Bei is in danger.


    Liu Bei''s foothold was that Liu Xiu had to withdraw to deal with other wars.


    But now, Liu Xiu focuses on Yizhou, and Liu Bei is in danger.


    Liu Bei looked up at Zhuge Liang, waiting for his decision.


    Zhuge Liang gently shakes the feather fan. Although he is a little nervous, now he says: "Liu Xiu, your border has been harassed. Although you stay in Yizhou, you should attack my Lord with all your strength. However, you can''t support it for a long time. One attack and one defense, we occupy the advantage of Chengdu, you want to win Chengdu, it is not an easy thing


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Liu Bei, are you anxious now?"


    Liu Bei snorted: "the final outcome is unknown."


    Liu Xiu big sleeve a brush, Lang Sheng way: "in that case, then go to war."


    "Where is the yellow tiger?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes became sharp, and he won the order.


    "The end will be here!"


    Huang Hu rode his horse out, and his honest face was full of expectation. He straddled on his horse, holding a golden hammer in his hand, ready to go.


    He has been waiting for this moment for a long time.


    Now, finally.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "take Liu Bei!"


    "Here it is


    Huang Hu was ordered to turn his horse around and aim at the direction of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.


    "Flying Tiger camp, listen to the order!"


    The golden hammer of the drum jar in Huang Hu''s hand was raised and he tried his best to roar: "kill!"


    A cry, the voice resounded outside Chengdu.


    "Kill


    "Kill


    Flying Tiger camp soldiers, all shouting.


    The soldiers of the flying tiger camp are all elite. As the saying goes, one soldier will bear a nest. Huang Hu is a war maniac. He loves fighting in the battlefield, and so do his soldiers.


    One by one excited.


    At the moment when Huang Hu rode out, all the soldiers of Feihu camp were killed quickly.


    Horse hooves sound, flying tiger camp out.

 Chapter 684

    "Kill


    Huang Hu took the lead and raised the golden hammer.


    As soon as he was killed, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei quickly retreated to the army and let the soldiers under them resist.


    When the two sides fight, they explode.


    During the battle, the yellow tiger kept fighting, and the golden hammer in the drum jar was raised and dropped, bringing up the blood.


    Liu Xiu looks at Huang Hu''s killing and smiles.


    Huang Hu is a fierce beast in human form. He is extremely powerful.


    In the battlefield, Huang Hu is extremely overbearing.


    Liu Xiu looked at it for a while, then withdrew his eyes and fell on Chen Dao and Huo Jun.


    Liu Xiu said, "you two have worked hard."


    Chen Dao and Huo Jun couldn''t help but burst into tears.


    Liu Xiu paid too much to save them.


    Plop!


    Chen Dao knelt down on the ground and said, "king of Chu, it''s all the fault of the last general that Liu Bei took advantage of this time."


    "On the first day of being caught by Liu Bei, Mo Jiang received an inexplicable note and asked him to wait in the back camp in the early morning of the evening."


    "At the end of the day, he saw the note, but pressed down the matter and didn''t discuss it with Mr. Huo."


    "In the evening, the general went to the rear camp alone and saw the soldiers waiting for him. I got another message. Let''s go to meet in the woods outside the barracks. "


    "At that time, Mo will still not know who the other party is."


    "But this inexplicable news, the end will still not discuss with Huo Junshi."


    "The next day, I will go to the meeting in the forest to see who the other party is? Coincidentally, commander Huo also quietly followed, so that there was no one in charge of the camp. "


    "Because of this, the camp was broken by Liu Bei."


    "When Mo Jiang and Huo Junshi returned, they were ambushed and captured by Liu Bei''s men."


    Chen Dao choked and looked regretful. He said, "this time, if not for the end, the Sixth Army will not be defeated."


    For his own practice, Chen extremely regret.


    Anyway, they were rescued.


    If not, maybe he and Huo Jun will die.


    Chen Dao kowtowed to the ground with his head and said in a loud voice, "please punish the king for his guilt."


    After listening, Liu Xiu had a clear idea in his mind.


    The general situation is also clear.


    He looks at Huo Jun and knows why he follows Chen Dao. It must be because he reminds Huo Jun of Chen Dao''s news that Huo Jun suspects Chen Dao. He follows him quietly and falls into Zhuge Liang''s calculation.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Chen Dao, your fault should be punished naturally. Now, you will stay in the army for the time being and deal with your fault after the war is over. "


    "Here it is


    Chen got up and stood aside.


    Huo Jun hugged his fist and said: "king of Chu, this time, there are some improper handling. He left the camp in a humble position, but he didn''t make arrangements for the camp. As a result, the camp was leaderless, lost cohesion, and the camp was broken. "


    Although, this time the defeat, Chen accounted for a lot of responsibility.


    But Huo Jun also has unshirkable responsibility.


    After all, he is a military strategist and the main person in charge of the army. It is impossible to say that he has no responsibility.


    Liu Xiu brushed his sleeves and said, "the two of you are responsible for the crime. We''ll try them later. We''ll deal with it when we get Liu Bei. "


    This arrangement was carefully considered by Liu Xiu.


    Now Liu Bei is still alive. Even though Liu Xiu knows that Chen Dao is loyal, Chen Dao has had contact with Liu Bei.


    As the saying goes, if you don''t keep secret, you will lose your official!


    If a monarch is not thoughtful, the situation will be difficult to control.


    Liu Xiu didn''t deal with Chen Dao for the time being. He put Chen Dao aside to eliminate the influence of Chen Dao''s external factors.


    Liu Bei is the only one who affects Chen.


    If Liu Bei is captured, even Liu Bei will not exist, and Chen Dao will not be affected. No one can use Chen Dao to collude with Liu Bei to influence Chen Dao.


    This is Liu Xiu''s consideration for Chen Dao.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on the battlefield and looked in the direction where Huang Hu was.


    Huang Hu, holding a drum jar and a golden hammer, stabbed Liu Bei''s barbarians and defeated them.


    The barbarians are fierce, but the yellow tiger is more powerful.


    Huang Hu''s golden hammer in the drum jar was swung up and smashed in the air, and he reaped life after life.


    Among the barbarians, a burly man saw the death of his soldiers. He raised his eyebrows angrily and yelled, "let me stop the man with the hammer."


    His Chinese is a bit awkward.


    The soldiers under his command also heard it.


    His name is Wutu Tu. He is a leader of the barbarian tribe. He is born with divine power and has a mace in his hand. He is very powerful.


    In the barbarian tribe, Wutu Tu Tu is also quite prestigious.He galloped his horse and killed the soldiers in the flying tiger camp. Soon, he was less than three Zhang away from the yellow tiger.


    Wu Tu Tu roared: "those who take hammers will die!"


    He yelled and immediately attracted Huang Hu''s attention.


    Huang Hu''s eyes picked, he saw Wutu Tu Tu, who was riding on a horse, wearing silk and satin, and then wearing armor and an iron helmet.


    This dress can only be worn by generals among barbarians.


    Most of the common barbarians are simply dressed, even without clothes on their upper body, or wrapped in a piece of animal skin.


    When Huang Hu saw it, he laughed. He straddled on the horse''s back with his legs clamped on the horse''s belly, and immediately rushed to Wutu Tu Tu.


    The battle horse spurs, the yellow tiger hands rise and fall.


    "Bang!"


    The drum jar was smashed by the golden hammer, and the barbarian soldiers in front of them were directly killed by the hammer.


    A moment later, they met.


    Huang Hu gave a low drink. He swung the golden hammer from the drum jar with his right hand and said, "Mount Tai hammer!"


    When a hammer is swung up, great power is poured into it.


    The golden hammer of the drum jar flew across the sky, and with a roaring sound, it hit Wutu Tu Tu.


    Seeing this, Wutu Tu screamed and looked excited.


    "Bi Li, I''ve never lost anyone. You''re dead with a hammer."


    What he said was that of a barbarian.


    It sounds like a creaky voice.


    But when he spoke, Wutu Tu had swung his mace and left with a golden hammer.


    "Boom!"


    Violent impact, bang.


    "Ah


    A shrill scream came from Wu Tu Tu''s mouth.


    Wutu Tu Tu''s mace flew out of his hand, and there was blood in his mouth.


    One blow, Wutu Tu Tu was hurt.


    Wutu Tu screams. After he is badly hurt, he turns around and wants to run away.


    However, where would Huang Hu allow him to escape.


    The golden hammer in the drum jar in Huang Hu''s hand was raised, and the Cape hammer was hit. Before Wutu Tu could escape, the Cape hammer was down.


    "Bang!"


    The huge golden hammer hit Wutu Tu Tu on the chest.


    The ferocious force broke the bones, and Wutu Tu''s chest sank down, spitting blood, and then fell to the ground.


    One strike is fatal!


    Huang Hu killed Wu Tu Tu Tu with one blow.


    Killing people on the battlefield is a normal thing.


    Huang Hu didn''t care. He fought with all his strength and took the flying tiger camp to the battle.


    Liu Bei''s barbarian army, though brave and brave, was a foreign race and had no military skills. Even under the guidance of Zhuge Liang, he was well versed in fighting, but after fighting, he fought with courage.


    Huang Hu''s killing, however, scared the barbarians out of their wits.


    One by one, when they saw that Huang Hu was coming, they ran away and did not dare to fight with him.

 Chapter 685

    Liu Bei looked at the scene of defeat, his face was blue and his heart was like a knife.


    I thought he had the upper hand.


    I thought he had a chance to beat Liu Xiu.


    I thought he had a chance to be based in Chengdu.


    But in the blink of an eye, Liu Xiu was ready and launched an attack.


    The current situation is very unfavorable to Liu Bei.


    Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "military adviser, what shall we do?"


    Zhuge Liang''s face was as deep as water, and he was also in a dilemma. He did not expect to encounter such a result. However, Zhuge Liang was still calm and said: "Lord, withdraw. We will withdraw into Chengdu immediately."


    Liu Bei was quick in mind and said, "since Liu Xiu has been prepared, will he leave an empty city for us. There is no grain in the granary of the city, so it is difficult for us to garrison, especially when Liu Xiu is outside. "


    Liu Bei was very afraid of Liu Xiu.


    What if Liu Xiu had a second hand?


    Zhuge Liang said, "Lord, we have no choice now. Some of our soldiers have entered the city. When we retreat at this time, the army will be defeated like a mountain. It is hard to resist Liu Xiu''s cover up. "


    "By then, it will be a big defeat."


    "Retreat into the city of Chengdu, we can stick to it."


    "Today Liu Xiu launched an attack. He only attacked temporarily. I don''t know if it was bluff."


    "What if Liu Xiu is bluffing?"


    "So we have to stay in Chengdu now, at least for three days."


    "Three days later, there must be news from Cao Jun and Sun Quan."


    "If Liu Xiu withdraws at that time, it proves that we are right. In order to stabilize the situation on the front line, Liu Xiu will have to lead his troops to withdraw."


    "If the front line does not change and Liu Xiu still besieges Chengdu, we will withdraw."


    "In a word, it''s the king''s way to retreat into the city and stick to it."


    There was calm in Zhuge Liang''s eyes and no anxious look on his face.


    Although things were tense, Zhuge Liang was not in a mess.


    After listening to Zhuge Liang''s analysis, Liu Bei nodded and said, "in that case, we retreat into the city."


    "Retreat, retreat, retreat into the city."


    Liu Bei gave the order directly.


    Surrounded by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, the army headed for the city.


    Liu Xiu saw the background of Liu Bei''s retreat, and no longer hesitated, he ordered shamoko to lead the army to attack.


    The wuximan soldiers under shamoko are first-class and elite.


    Under the leadership of shamoko, the soldiers of Wuxi constantly charged and washed the soldiers under Liu Bei.


    The situation on the battlefield is totally one-sided.


    The disordered barbarians only know how to run around, and there is no one to organize resistance at all.


    After Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang retreated into the city, after most of the soldiers entered the city, they directly closed the city gate, and then stuck on the city tower.


    It is not easy for Liu Xiu to attack the strong city of Chengdu.


    Shamoko and Huang Hu cleaned up the barbarians outside, and then returned to the army.


    Liu Xiu is outside the city. Now, Liu Bei is inside.


    The situation of both sides changed immediately.


    On the tower, Liu Bei looked at Liu Xiu outside the city and said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, my official is here. If you have courage, you can attack the city directly. I want to see how you can conquer Chengdu. "


    With a smile in his mouth, Liu Xiu said, "Liu Bei, it''s just what I need for you to enter the city. Why did the king enter the city? Now, stay in the city. "


    If Liu Bei had retreated directly before, Liu Xiu would have led the army to kill him.


    But after all, Liu Bei''s soldiers are barbarians.


    Once these people enter the mountain forest, Liu Xiu''s soldiers may not be able to catch up.


    However, Liu Bei entered Chengdu.


    Everything is different.


    At the moment, Liu Bei seems to have a stronger city defense, but in fact, it is a bird like a cage, a tiger falling flat, completely lost the chance to compete with Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu stopped talking to Liu Bei and deployed troops outside the city.


    At the same time, all the captured barbarians were in custody.


    This time he fought with Liu Bei, Liu Bei fled into the city, leaving countless barbarians scattered outside.


    Liu Xiu''s army detained all these people.


    Just this matter, all busy to the night, just to deal with the matter properly.


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    Liu Xiu, Pang Tong, Jia Xu and others were seated.


    Several people got together and were talking about the war during the day.


    Huang Hu and shamoko also sat down, looking excited on their faces. After killing for a while in the daytime, they finally felt comfortable.


    However, the jaw is no longer open.


    Now Zhang jaw is temporarily in charge of the affairs of the military camp and takes care of all military affairs.


    Naturally, this is Liu Xiu''s authorization."Step on it! Step on it! Step on


    A sound of footwork came in from outside the camp.


    Zhang jaw strides in, bows his hand and says, "I''m going to meet you."


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "what''s the situation today?"


    Zhang jaw replied: "report to the king, fighting with Liu Bei''s army during the day, 189 soldiers died and 432 were seriously injured. But in this war, we captured as many as 4000 barbarians. "


    During the day, with Liu Bei''s retreat, the barbarians were in complete disorder.


    Huang Hu and shamoko pursued and killed many people.


    Under such circumstances, it is quite normal to capture 4000 soldiers.


    Liu Xiu asked, "are there any tribal leaders among these 4000 people?"


    Zhang Maxiao said: "report back to the king, there are ten barbarian tribal leaders captured this time, and two of them are the leaders of Bo people."


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu was pleasantly surprised.


    The barbarians under Liu Bei were composed of barbarian tribes.


    Among these tribes, there are many tribal leaders.


    This time, he captured ten tribal leaders, which was a great harvest for Liu Xiu.


    Zhang continued: "the end will have found a person who can speak Chinese, the king can immediately interrogate the ten tribal leaders."


    Liu Xiu said, "bring all the people up."


    "Here it is


    Zhang chin went down and ordered that ten barbarian leaders and a Chinese speaking barbarian entered the camp.


    "Kneel down!"


    Open your jaw and shout.


    "Plop!"


    The barbarians who speak Chinese are the first to kneel down.


    Then he spoke quickly, and the rest of the barbarians knelt down.


    But on these faces, they were extremely angry. When they looked at Liu Xiu, they were even more hostile.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on the man who could speak Chinese and said, "what''s your name?"


    The king said, "the name of the villain is Zhou."


    Liu Xiu continued to ask, "which tribe are you from and what is your status in the tribe?"


    The barbarians in the mountains can hardly speak Chinese.


    People who can speak Chinese are not simple, at least they will not be ordinary. Therefore, as soon as Liu Xiu asks, he has to find out Bu Zhou''s identity, and then make subsequent arrangements.

 Chapter 686

    Bu Zhou said: "tell the king of Chu that the villain comes from Nanxiang tribe and is responsible for purchasing salt, iron and other materials."


    It is very important for the whole tribe to purchase salt and iron materials.


    This position is very important.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "since you are responsible for purchasing materials, you should know the gap between your Nanxiang tribe and the Han people."


    Bu Zhou nodded and said, "yes, my Nanxiang tribe is very poor. I even have a meal. Compared with the Han people, our Nanxiang tribe is the one who drinks blood like a feather. "


    In fact, this is the status quo of Nanxiang tribe.


    Nanxiang tribe, among the barbarians, is not a big tribe, but a lower middle tribe.


    In the tribe, there is often no prey, or the harvest is not good, leading to the lack of food.


    At this time, bu Zhou would take the tribe''s fur out of the mountain and exchange it for food.


    And in exchange for grain, are the worst coarse grain.


    Liu Xiuse said: "since you know the status quo of Nanxiang tribe, do you want to change it?"


    Liu Xiu''s words seemed to be persuasive.


    Little by little, Zhou''s heart became active.


    Bu Zhou''s ability to deal with the Han people is naturally a matter of the government and mind.


    He nodded and said, "king, the life of Nanxiang people is hard, and villains naturally want to change."


    In Bu Zhou''s mind, he suddenly had a guess.


    However, he is not sure yet. Liu Xiu has to give an answer.


    The leaders of the barbarian tribes around look at Bu Zhou.


    One by one, when they saw Bu Zhou and Liu Xiu talking, they were all eager. They can understand a word or two occasionally, but they can''t understand most of Liu Xiu''s words.


    Looking at Bu Zhou, they have expectations in their eyes, but they also have worries.


    Afraid to be sold by Bu Zhou!


    So, there are some worries in my heart.


    Liu Xiu took a look at the restless barbarian leader, with a smile on his lips.


    That''s the effect.


    The more so the barbarian leader is, the better for him.


    These people became restless, and when Liu Xiu made the offer, they could be mobilized to the maximum extent.


    Liu Xiu stared at Bu Zhou and said, "would you like to work for me?"


    Boom!!


    Step around the brain, bang.


    Liu Xiu''s words broke the silence in his mind and made his heart boiling.


    Submit to Liu Xiu!


    For Nanxiang tribe and him, such a thing is a step-by-step thing.


    Bu Zhou came back to himself. He looked at Liu Xiu incredulously and said, "can a villain really serve the king?"


    The identity of a barbarian affects Bu Zhou''s future.


    Because of this level of identity, although Bu Zhou went out to seek life, he had to return to the mountains in the end.


    Now, Liu Xiu has given him this opportunity.


    "Of course you can," Liu said


    Bu Zhou knelt down on the ground and said, "the villain is willing to work for the king. The Nanxiang tribe where the villain lives also thought that the King worked for him."


    He kowtowed to the ground with his head, constantly kowtowing.


    Bu Zhou was even more excited.


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "get up!"


    "Thank you


    Bu Zhou was very excited. He stood up and held his head high, as if his identity was different.


    Liu Xiu has a smile in his eyes.


    As long as Bu Zhou yearns for the Han people, things will be easy.


    Liu Xiu said: "it''s not that there are no barbarians under the command of the king. Bu Zhou, do you know xiaowuximan


    Bu Zhou said, "the villain knows."


    Although Bu Zhou was in Yizhou, he had heard all about wuximan in Jingzhou.


    Liu Xiu said: "shamoke, the general under the king''s command, is the leader of wuximan. He has been following the king for many years


    "Now, he alone commands an army and works for the king."


    "And the five stream barbarians under his command have all come out of the mountains and forests, no longer living in the open, no longer drinking blood."


    "All the Wuxi barbarians live in the mountains, just like the Han people, enjoying the treatment of the Han people."


    "And the barbarians in Yizhou are treated equally."


    Liu Xiu began to make a promise, saying: "as long as the barbarians and Bo people in Yizhou are willing to submit to the king, the king will recognize their status and send troops to help them move out of the mountains and live in a flat and open place. Since then, the barbarians and Bo people have been protected from the wind and the sun, from hunger and cold, and from lack of clothing and food. "


    On Monday, I was excited.


    If we can really do this step, it is naturally the best result.


    Bu Zhou said: "villains must try their best to persuade the leaders of all tribes."


    Liu Xiu said: "as long as you succeed in persuasion, when all the barbarians move out of the mountain forest, I will let you manage all the barbarians. When the barbarians moved out, the tribes still lived together according to the customs of the tribes, and they were still managed by the barbarians, but they needed one person to control the whole situation, and then accept the management of the king. If you can succeed, I can promise that you will be the first barbarian official. ""Gudong!"


    When Bu Zhou heard this, he couldn''t help getting tired of spitting.


    His heart, it is the beat of plop, very excited.


    Here''s the chance!


    Here''s his chance.


    Bu Zhou knew that there was an opportunity in front of him. As long as he grasped it, he would be able to get rid of his current status and become a new rich man among the barbarians and a red man in front of Liu Xiu.


    Bu Zhou zhengse said, "king, villains must be successful. They must be persuaded."


    Liu Xiu said: "I give you the right. If you can''t persuade me, you can kill me directly. You have the right to put some people to death, so you should know what to do


    "I understand!"


    Bu Zhou nodded, his eyes were very excited.


    At this time, he has been looking forward to the future.


    "King, villains need a separate tent and talk to them," Bu said. The villain promised that he would persuade them, and then let them persuade the rest of the barbarians. "


    Liu xiudao said, "I''m sure you''re right!"


    Immediately, Liu Xiu called the soldiers and asked them to take all the barbarians and bu Zhou.


    The camp was empty again.


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Yan and said, "Zhang Yan, in order to avoid Bu Zhou playing tricks, you should find another barbarian who can speak Chinese, listen to bu Zhou''s words outside the camp, record them and present them to me."


    Zhang jaw embraces boxing way: "the end will understand!"


    For Liu Xiu''s arrangement, Zhang Yan can only say that this move is brilliant.


    In this way, we can ensure that Bu Zhou does not play tricks.


    If you place all your hopes on Bu Zhou, once Bu Zhou makes trouble, or has two hearts, then the person who hides in the dark records Bu Zhou, then Liu Xiu will not be deceived.


    Immediately, Zhang jaw went down to arrange.


    Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Bei will not be able to fly this time when the plan is implemented."


    Liu Xiu said, "Liu Bei counts cats. He has nine lives. It''s not easy to win. We must make a good plan to prevent accidents. We can''t let Liu Bei escape any more. "


    Jia Xu said: "I understand!"


    Pang Tong also nodded heavily. He also knew that this time, he could never let Liu Bei escape again.

 Chapter 687

    In the tent.


    Zhang Ya is giving in to Zhou to persuade the leaders of various barbarian tribes.


    Zhang jaw couldn''t understand the words of the barbarian tribe.


    In his ears, it was very noisy, especially when the barbarians were talking, it was like shouting, which made Zhang''s jaw feel worse.


    But in the present situation, Zhang can only bear it.


    Zhang jaw waited quietly, waiting for bu Zhou to reply.


    Now it''s time to talk.


    About a quarter of an hour later, the quarrel finally stopped.


    All the barbarians looked at Bu Zhou with a look of expectation in their eyes.


    Bu Zhou, to some extent, is their spokesman, especially the conditions given by Bu Zhou, which makes them very envious.


    It''s the best result to be able to get out of the forest.


    It''s not their wish to be in the mountains all their life.


    Most importantly, the leaders of these barbarian tribes were more or less aware of the situation of wuximan.


    They are also envious of wuximan''s life in the Han Dynasty.


    Now that there is an opportunity, it is natural to grasp it.


    Bu Zhou looked at Zhang, saluted and said, "general, they are willing to go out of the mountain forest. But they have a few conditions. "


    "What are the conditions?" Zhang asked


    As long as the other party is willing to go out of the mountains, there will be talks.


    "First, when they get out of the mountain forest, they must have enough arable land to ensure that they can cultivate," Bu said


    Zhang jaw big sleeve a brush, bold way: "this is no problem."


    It is the guarantee for people to get out of the farmland.


    Moreover, Yizhou is mountainous, many places are deserted, and there is quite a lot of land.


    As long as the government agrees to open up wasteland and open up forests, it is not a difficult thing to take out more farmland and mountains.


    After Zhang''s surrender, he had a systematic understanding of the situation under Liu Xiu''s command.


    Zhang also knows about wuximan.


    At the beginning, in order to get wuximan out of the mountain forest and facilitate management, the government helped wuximan build houses, and then assigned them to farmland, etc., which was beneficial enough to solve the hidden danger of wuximan.


    Although it takes a lot of conditions to get the barbarians out of the mountain, there are also benefits.


    First, the population has increased.


    A larger population will benefit both the source of troops and other aspects.


    Second, the hidden danger of barbarians has been solved.


    The barbarians have lived in the mountains for generations. They depend on mountains and rivers, and depend more on the God to eat. Once the garrison is not good, they will go out of the mountains and make trouble. These people are hidden disasters. Once out of the mountain, it will be much easier for the government to manage it, and it will not be in trouble from time to time.


    These two points alone are enough to make the government bear the cost of the barbarians.


    Zhang said, "what about the second?"


    Bu Zhou replied: "some barbarian leaders said that when wuximan came out of the mountain, there were houses built by the government. If barbarians go out of the mountains, they should build good houses. Of course, they will be involved in building houses. "


    Zhang jaw added: "it''s no problem. I can decide and agree."


    Bu Zhou''s face was full of smiles.


    However, bu Zhou was still worried because the conditions had just begun.


    He hasn''t put forward the harsh conditions.


    Bu Zhou continued: "third, the area inhabited by barbarians is not allowed to enter by Han people."


    Hearing this, his face changed greatly.


    Where the barbarians live, even the Han people are not allowed to enter? Isn''t that a country of nations?


    "It''s impossible," he said


    At this point, Zhang Yan narrowed his eyes and stared at Bu Zhou, saying: "Bu Zhou, the king promised you to manage barbarians, but is that how you treat the king''s trust? It''s really a joke that Han people are not allowed to enter the barbarian area. "


    The words are full of anger.


    When he looked at the other barbarian leaders, his eyes were filled with evil spirit.


    For a moment, the air in the camp seemed to cool down.


    As the chief General of the army, Zhang Ya is also a general who can guard one side. His face is cold, and he has his own power, which makes people fear unconsciously.


    Bu Zhou''s heart trembled, and the secret was not good.


    Once things are not handled properly, it is bound to capsize and he will get nothing at that time.


    Bu Zhou''s eyes dripped and turned, saying, "general, calm down. Things can be discussed."


    He also thinks that it is impossible for Han people to enter the barbarian area.


    Zhang jaw coldly way: "you continue to say, still have what condition?"


    Bu Zhou swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued: "fourth, the area where the barbarians are located is under the jurisdiction of the barbarians. The soldiers of barbarians do not accept the dispatch of the government. "


    "Son of a bitch!"


    He slapped his face on the desk.


    The roaring sound made the leaders of the barbarians shiver.One by one, when they look at Zhang''s jaw, there is more fear in their eyes.


    Just now, when they put forward the terms, they all said it directly.


    I didn''t expect that Zhang''s reaction was so big.


    Bu Zhou''s body trembled a little, with an awkward smile on his face, very uncomfortable.


    At this time, he also found it difficult.


    Zhang Yan looked at Bu Zhou coldly and said, "Bu Zhou, you are very good. You take good care of the barbarians. The king trusts you. That''s how you repay him. "


    Bu Zhou Shan said with a smile: "yes, yes, villain knows his mistake!"


    Zhang maxillofacial way: "you know wrong good.". You said, "how many conditions do they have?"


    Bu Zhou said uneasily: "there are still five conditions."


    Brush!


    Open jaw face, is more gloomy as water.


    Five more conditions!


    Do these barbarians really think that the king of Chu is the unjust leader?


    Zhang chin said in a deep voice: "you don''t need to say the following five conditions. This kind of insincere condition will not be heard at all. "


    Bu Zhou nodded and said, "the general has a point."


    He can only agree.


    If he spoke for a barbarian again, once he angered Zhang jaw and was stabbed in front of Liu Xiu, I''m afraid he would get nothing.


    Bu Zhou has a chance to ascend the sky step by step, and he is not willing to let it go.


    Bu Zhou thought, he suddenly said: "general, why don''t you talk about the conditions?"


    The barbarians put forward all kinds of conditions, but Zhang jaw disagreed.


    Let''s just let Zhang Jia make the offer.


    After hearing this, his face looked thoughtful. After a long time, he said, "you tell them that the first and the second will be the masters and you can promise them. As long as they come out of the mountains, they will have good farmland and warm houses to ensure that they are not short of food, clothing and exposure to the wind and the sun. "


    "Here it is


    After hearing this, bu Zhou immediately tried to explain to the barbarian.


    When these barbarian leaders heard this, their faces changed constantly.


    Some even look angry.


    Bu Zhou listened to people''s reaction, wrote down all the words, summarized them, then looked at Zhang Yan and said, "General Zhang, this is the situation now. They are also willing to go out of the mountains, but they are not willing to let them become civilians and be deprived of their rights. That''s the problem. We have to solve it. "


    Zhang Chin''s eyes narrowed, thinking about this problem.


    It seems that we have to let all the barbarian leaders fall down first, and then let these barbarian leaders persuade the barbarians, in order to achieve the maximum effect.


    Zhang Yan''s mind turns. He already has an idea.

 Chapter 688

    Zhang chin said in a deep voice: "Bu Zhou, you tell the leaders of all the tribes that they will become officials in the Han Dynasty after their surrender, and their power will not be weakened. The only difference is that they no longer have military power. "


    Military power is a non-negotiable matter.


    Zhang Ya didn''t even have to think about it. He knew that Liu Xiu couldn''t let the barbarians continue to control the military power.


    All the barbarians must be included.


    All military power must be taken back.


    The barbarian leader can manage the barbarians who move out of the mountain forest, but he will never have military power.


    That''s the bottom line!


    Zhang chin said in a deep voice: "military power is the bottom line, which can''t be discussed. If they want military power, do you want to rebel


    On Monday, my heart trembled.


    Zhang''s words were very serious. At this time, bu Zhou nodded.


    Bu Zhou turned to the other barbarian leaders and conveyed Zhang''s words.


    After he conveyed it, he immediately aroused the anger of the barbarian leader.


    These people attach great importance to military power. Once they lose military power, they are the fish on the chopping board and will be slaughtered. Therefore, it is not willing to propose to abolish military power.


    Zhang Yan couldn''t understand what the barbarian said, but he was sure that the barbarian leader didn''t agree.


    Otherwise, there will be no such argument.


    Zhang chin looked at Bu Zhou and said, "Bu Zhou, do you want to tell them whether they want life or military power? Let them do it for themselves. Those who refuse to accept will be directly pulled out and chopped down. "


    At this time, Zhang jaw directly offered his mace.


    Without a bit of thunder, these people won''t be afraid.


    After hearing Zhang''s words, bu Zhou turned his eyes.


    He conveyed Zhang''s words, but his mind was wide open.


    Liu Xiu asked him to manage the barbarians, and the barbarian leaders of these tribes also wanted to be officials. At that time, I''m afraid it will be difficult to convince these people with his qualifications.


    Bu Zhou thought in his heart that he had to build a power.


    Without prestige, what can we do in the future?


    Bu Zhou looked at the barbarian leaders. At this time, some people were still unconvinced and threatened that they would never give up military power.


    Bu Zhou persuaded again, but the barbarian leader still didn''t agree.


    Some of the ten barbarian leaders are willing to step back. As long as they can enter the Han Dynasty as officials, they are willing to give up military power. While some people are willing to surrender, but they are not willing to give up military power, and they even threaten not to move out of the mountains.


    Bu Zhou smiles in his heart.


    He likes people who want to fight against being right.


    Only with these people can he have value and kill people.


    Bu Zhou looked at Zhang Yan and said, "General Zhang, most of these people are willing to give up military power, but there are still two people who do not agree to die. There is even a man who says that he only obeys, but he is not willing to move out of the mountain forest. "


    Zhang Yan took a look.


    The eyes, as if to see through the mind of Bu Zhou.


    At this moment, bu Zhou''s heart trembled.


    Zhang jaw did not pursue, directly said: "who said only obedience, do not want to move out of the forest?"


    Bu Zhou immediately pointed to a middle-aged man.


    This middle-aged man is the leader of a barbarian tribe, quite powerful.


    Open jaw to shout a way: "come a person!"


    At the command, two soldiers came in quickly.


    He pointed to the barbarian leader and said in a deep voice, "drag it out and chop it. Throw the body into the forest to feed the wolf."


    "Here it is


    The soldier came forward, put up the barbarian leader with his hands tied and went out.


    At this moment, the barbarian leader panicked.


    His face was full of panic. He thought the Han people wanted to surrender, so he bargained. He didn''t expect that the Han people were so strong. He screamed and begged for mercy, but bu Zhou didn''t speak, just watched quietly.


    The barbarian leader was pulled out.


    After a while, there was a scream.


    This scream made the heads of the barbarians in the camp look nervous.


    At this moment, they were in a panic.


    Han people are serious.


    It''s about killing people.


    One by one, they began to fear in their hearts. At this moment, they were finally honest and did not dare to be arrogant. Even when they looked at Bu Zhou, there was a little more awe and flattery in their eyes.


    They don''t speak the words of the Han people. They rely on walking.


    If Bu Zhou is upset and says bad things about them, the situation will not be good.


    One after another, they expressed their willingness to obey Zhang''s arrangement.


    At this time, they dare not raise any more conditions.


    It''s good to be able to save your life.


    Bu Zhou saw all this in his eyes, and he also had a smile on his face. He saw the flattery and awe of these people, and it was clear that he had achieved his goal.


    Bu Zhou turned to Zhang Yan and said, "general, they are willing to surrender and obey the arrangement.""Good!"


    Open jaw smell speech, this just slightly nods.


    A good brute is a good brute.


    If you don''t listen, you have to get rid of it.


    Zhang said, "you tell them to follow the king of Chu and they will not suffer. When they get out of the mountains, they will not suffer from hunger and cold, and they will not live in the open. And they are the leaders of the tribes, and they want to be officials. "


    "When they get out of the mountain, their children will also study in Han academies."


    "Their children will be able to read and read, and then become officials."


    Zhang Yan is not stingy in painting big cakes. To win over these people, we need not only thunder means, but also certain conditions.


    After Bu Zhou heard this, his heart became active.


    After he became an official, his son also had the opportunity to study in the Academy. Isn''t that a step up?


    Bu Zhou was very happy, and then conveyed Zhang''s words to the barbarian leader.


    This time, these people are excited.


    Not for themselves, but for their children.


    Parents all over the world are worried about their children.


    They are the leaders of the barbarian tribe, but they also want their children to live better. If their children can enter the Academy, they will be learned people and more able to integrate into the Han people.


    This kind of treatment is really the best.


    They all got excited and began to show their loyalty. They all expressed their loyalty to the king of Chu.


    After hearing this, bu Zhou turned to Zhang and said, "General Zhang, they are all willing to be loyal and obey the arrangement."


    "You did a good job," he said


    As for bu Zhou''s cooperation, Zhang said, "I will speak for you in front of you."


    Bu Zhou was overjoyed and said, "thank you, general. Thank you very much."


    Zhang chin got up and said, "wait here. I will go to see the king."


    "Here it is


    Step week should be under, and then respectfully watched Zhang jaw leave.


    After Zhang jaw got out of the barracks, he went straight to Liu Xiu''s Chinese Army account.


    Entering the barracks, Zhang chin arched his hand and said, "at the end, Zhang chin will meet the king."


    Liu xiudao: "what happened to the barbarian leader?"


    Zhang jaw replied: "report to the king, they all surrendered, but one of them was stubborn and killed by the end general. Now, the remaining nine people are willing to listen to their instructions. "


    Liu Xiu had a big smile on his face and said, "yes, it''s a good result."


    Zhang Yan said, "I''ve recruited the barbarian leader. What''s the next step?"


    To attack Liu Bei, it is obviously not enough to recruit and surrender these barbarian leaders. There must be a follow-up plan.


    Liu Xiu said: "next, you do it like this £¬¡­¡­ Do it in this way. Once the plan comes down, Liu Bei will lose his strength completely. "


    After hearing this, Zhang chin opened his eyes and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "go down and get things done as soon as possible."


    "Here it is


    Zhang jaw made a salute, and then stepped down respectfully.

 Chapter 689

    Three days is fleeting.


    These three days, bu Zhou took the barbarian leader to the place where the barbarian was detained.


    What Bu Zhou and the leaders of the barbarians did was to persuade all the people to submit and let them completely stand by Liu Xiu.


    In addition to the language gap between the barbarians and the Chinese, there are also differences in their own conditions.


    Bu Zhou was very clever. He went directly to the tough people among the barbarians and asked them to complain.


    One by one, the barbarians complained about their hardship.


    Such a move has led to other barbarians.


    At the same time, bu Zhou began to publicize the preferential treatment of barbarians in Chu and the current situation of Wuxi barbarians in Wuling county.


    After a series of actions, countless savages were moved.


    For ordinary barbarians, they must have real benefits. Only when they see that they have clothes and food to eat can they be moved.


    For the barbarian leaders, they need to be given enough benefits.


    In this way, all the barbarians were obedient.


    Bu Zhou reported the news to Zhang Yan, who then reported it to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu was generous with praise, and last time he went to buy some brocade and silk from Zhou. Zhou was excited for a while.


    When Zhang finished all this, he began to deploy troops.


    Liu Xiu has given him the power to deal with it. Zhang jaw naturally wants to seize the opportunity.


    Zhang Yan left the camp and headed for Chengdu.


    Most of these soldiers are barbarians.


    Liu Xiu led the army and held down the rear.


    Jia Xu followed Liu Xiushen on horseback and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yan is very well organized. This man, the first good general. "


    Liu Xiu said: "Zhang jaw is really good. At the beginning, Xu Shu convinced him that it was a wonderful move."


    Jia Xu also nodded.


    Jia Xu also admired Xu Shu for entering Luoyang alone in the past.


    If it were him, he would not.


    Jia Xu always believed that a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall, and he would not let himself be in danger.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    As the army marched along, the sound of a horse''s hoof came from behind.


    A royal guard came to Deng Zhan, whispered a few words, and then handed over a letter.


    After Deng Zhan took over, he came to Liu Xiu''s side and said, "king, I just received the news from the rear. Cao Jun really began to attack Nanyang County, but Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and others were in the army, and Cao Jun did not advance. On the other hand, in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu also made a fierce attack, intending to enter Jiangxia County, but taishici''s presence also blocked Zhou Yu''s attack. At present, the overall situation is not affected. "


    He said it briefly and handed in the letter.


    Liu Xiu opened the letter and scanned it quickly.


    After reading the letter, there was a dignified look on Liu Xiu''s face.


    Seeing this, Jia Xu said with a thump in his heart, "king, apart from Jiangdong and Cao Jun, is there any change?"


    Liu xiudao: "there is no change for the time being."


    "However, Kuai liang from the rear also wrote a letter saying that there was a lot of pressure on grain in the continuous war."


    "We started a war with Cao Cao and then came to Yizhou. Now there are wars in Nanyang and Jiangxia."


    "There are wars everywhere and food is needed everywhere, so the burden is heavy."


    "Kuai Liang suggested that we end the war in Yizhou within two months," Liu said. He said that once winter comes, the burden will be heavier. "


    After hearing this, Jia Xu said with emotion: "war is like this. Money and grain are used like running water."


    As soon as the war broke out, the gold was ten thousand taels.


    Wars have always been costly.


    It took Liu Xiu two years to recuperate before he dared to fight Cao Cao.


    But now, with a few more battlefields, Jingzhou is under great pressure, especially the turmoil in granary Yizhou, which has affected the food supply.


    Pang Tong said: "according to the current situation, it won''t take two months, just a few days. Even if we take into account the follow-up, it will not take two months. "


    Liu Xiu said, "I hope so!"


    ¡­¡­


    Chengdu City, on the tower.


    Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang stood above, and the leaders of various barbarian tribes were also there.


    Zhuge Liang said in a low voice: "Lord, it has been a few days now, but no news has been sent back from the front line, and Liu Xiu has not moved. It seems that Liu Xiu will not retreat for the time being. He will concentrate his forces to solve us. "


    There was a touch of worry on Liu Bei''s face.


    Can we get through this?


    Liu Bei is not optimistic about his current situation.


    "Dong! Dong


    The rumble of war drums sounded outside the city.


    Here we go!


    Liu Bei''s eyes became more nervous when he heard the sound of war drums.


    With the distance getting closer, Liu Bei saw the situation outside the city.At this time, the soldiers outside the city were not the soldiers of the state of Chu, but the ragged and even many barehanded barbarians.


    When Liu Bei saw this situation, his heart burst.


    What''s going on?


    How can there be a barbarian.


    What''s more, Liu Bei saw that these barbarians were not tied up, but were arranged by the generals of the state of Chu.


    Liu Bei was surprised.


    Liu Bei said, "what do you think is the situation, military adviser?"


    Zhuge Liang was also puzzled. He couldn''t figure out what was going on outside the city.


    "Prepare to meet the enemy!"


    Zhuge Liang made preparations for the war by responding to all changes with constancy.


    At this time, we must hold our ground.


    With the distance getting closer, many barbarian tribal leaders on the castle also saw the situation and talked about it one by one, with a strange look in their eyes.


    The situation on the tower began to be impetuous.


    Even the morale of the army began to fluctuate.


    Zhang Yan led the army to stop forty feet outside the city.


    He looked up at the tower, with a faint smile on his lips.


    This time, he wants to make Liu Bei completely flustered.


    "Archer, prepare!"


    Open your jaw and order directly.


    With a single order, more than 4000 barbarian soldiers took out their long bows, put their bows and arrows on the bowstring, and the arrows aimed at the city tower.


    After Zhou and others'' persuasion, they all returned.


    And this time, they went out with Zhang.


    However, the bows and arrows they used were specially made, because each bow and arrow helped with a note.


    The purpose of archery is not to kill barbarians, but to convey information.


    Zhang ordered: "shoot the arrow!"


    At the command, the flag sways.


    "Whew! Whew


    More than 4000 bows and arrows roared out, with the sound of breaking the air, across the sky in an instant, and then rushed straight to the city tower.


    Seeing this, Zhuge Liang quickly let the shield soldiers resist and the soldiers hide.


    Many bows and arrows flew to the city floor, some fell to the ground, some hit the beam, some hit the barbarian soldiers, and the notes on these bows and arrows soon attracted the attention of countless barbarians.


    One by one, they were all taken apart to have a look, and then bursts of noise came out.


    Many barbarians are illiterate, but there are also literate people.


    As soon as someone publicized it, the news spread quickly.


    The note on the bow and arrow is not a declaration of war or a threat, but a call for surrender. It''s a call for barbarians. Moreover, many of the letters above are written in barbarian style.


    When the news spread, the barbarians became restless.


    When they saw the situation on the note and learned the benefits of complying with Liu Xiu, they were naturally excited.


    At this moment, the hearts of the barbarians under Liu Bei were floating.

 Chapter 690

    After only one round of archery, there was no archery.


    Zhang chin, dressed in armor, looked at the scene of the sudden noise on the city floor, with a smile in his mouth.


    Liu Bei''s acceptance of the barbarians in Yizhou seems to gather a force.


    In fact, it is to seek the skin of a tiger.


    The barbarians always don''t understand etiquette, poetry and rules. These barbarians and Bo people only pay attention to interests. As long as they have enough interests, they can move them.


    On the one hand, Liu Bei''s charm lies in his ability to bring them together, and on the other hand, Zhuge Liang''s offer to let the barbarians and Bo people come out together.


    Zhang jaw let the barbarian archery, is to break the enemy''s morale.


    Once the barbarians didn''t want to fight, Liu Bei''s army became a mirror and completely lost its strength.


    Seeing that the time had come, Zhang Jia ordered: "all the barbarians in the upper Hall of the herald City, kill Liu Bei, reward ten thousand gold, and seal the marquis."


    Immediately, Zhang jaw gave the order.


    This order is the last talisman, which made Liu Bei''s power collapse completely.


    Today''s barbarians are trapped in Chengdu, and Liu Bei is a turtle in a jar.


    When barbarians see that the situation is not good, plus the previous conditions for surrender, they are bound to be moved.


    As the flag danced, the order was given.


    "Kill Liu Bei, reward ten thousand gold, and worship the general."


    Four thousand barbarians, shouting.


    The voice rises and falls, resounding in the sky.


    This voice, clearly into the city floor every barbarian''s ear.


    After hearing the news, all the barbarians turned their eyes to Liu Bei''s direction.


    But the leaders of the barbarian tribes did not give orders, and these people did not act rashly.


    Now, it''s just the lack of a last fuse.


    As long as there is a slight change, this matter will explode completely.


    Standing on the tower, Liu Bei heard the shouts outside the city. He looked back at the barbarians on the tower and saw the fierce light in their eyes. He felt a thump in his heart and shivered with cold.


    Damn Liu Xiu, he has come up with such a vicious plan.


    In Liu Bei''s heart, he regretted it again.


    He has a certain foundation among the barbarians. If he plans for a few more years, he will be able to gather the barbarians completely.


    But he thought about revenge, and finally couldn''t wait to get out of the mountain.


    I didn''t expect that this time, Liu Xiu was forced to change his direction.


    Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "military adviser, what shall we do?"


    In his voice, there was a little more tremolo.


    At this time, Liu Bei was also extremely nervous.


    Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "Lord, this is the end of the matter. We can only retreat. Now, let the white soldiers gather immediately to protect the Lord and break through the encirclement. "


    The white soldiers under Liu Bei are all the best among the best.


    Once upon a time, Chen Dao was the chief General of the White army.


    Unfortunately, after Chen Dao led the army to break Liu Bei, he was finally captured by Liu Xiusheng and became Liu Xiu''s man.


    Later, Liu Bei reconstituted the white soldier on the basis of the remaining white soldiers around him.


    This is Liu Bei''s most fundamental strength.


    Every white soldier is the best of the best, and he is a good hand.


    Liu Bei sees opportunity not good, also decisive way: "withdraw, break through immediately."


    Immediately, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, escorted by the white soldiers, ran to the city downstairs.


    This action immediately attracted the attention of the barbarians.


    Liu Bei is defeated. They are following Liu Bei. He is a lost dog. Now he can become a Han Chinese and move out of the mountains.


    "Liu Bei is about to run away. Seize Liu Bei."


    Suddenly, among the barbarians on the tower, the leader of a barbarian tribe yelled.


    This shout immediately caused the action of countless barbarians.


    The original tension of a string, completely end off.


    The tense situation has completely exploded.


    "Catch Liu Bei!"


    "Catch Liu Bei alive and take him to get a reward."


    "Kill Liu Bei, kill him!"


    "Old Liu Bei, where to go."


    One voice after another echoed on the tower.


    At this moment, the barbarians were fighting against each other.


    Surrounded by white soldiers, Liu Bei ran downstairs, but he became the target of public criticism and was besieged by barbarians.


    Countless barbarians swarmed to Liu Bei.


    This situation has brought great pressure to Liu Bei.


    Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang fled quickly. Under the cover of Bai Xiaobing, after he got down from the city tower, he didn''t go to the South Gate of Chengdu at all. Instead, he took a group of people to the north gate.


    South Gate direction, gathered a large number of barbarians.


    Besides, there is Liu Xiu''s army outside Nanmen.If you take the south gate to break through, it will be too difficult to escape.


    The only way to break through is through the north gate.


    Only when the strength in the direction of the north gate is weak can we have a chance to break through.


    Liu Bei and his troops kept on running away, but there were still countless barbarians chasing after him.


    Zhuge Liang was anxious in his eyes.


    In running, Zhuge Liang also looked around.


    At present, the situation is critical, we must find a way to solve it, otherwise the situation will be very difficult.


    "Lord, take off your armor, let the soldiers wear it, and run in other directions."


    In a hurry, Zhuge Liang only thought of such a plan.


    Now there is no way to escape without attracting the pursuers behind.


    Liu Bei nodded. As he ran, he took off his bright silver armor, took off his helmet, handed it to a white soldier and said, "Ling Zhou, it''s hard for you. Let''s go through the south gate. You must come. "


    Ling Zhou is an old man of Bai Xiaobing and an absolute confidant under Liu Bei.


    His parents died. It was Liu Bei who took him in and asked him to join the White army that made him what he is today.


    Lingzhou said: "Lord, the end will certainly go to the north gate."


    His words choked and his eyes were full of sadness.


    Quickly the armor on the boat, Ling Zhou took a group of soldiers, and then ran to the next street, roaring: "Liu Bei ran to the right, Liu Bei is here."


    With his voice, a part of the barbarians rushed in.


    There are fewer barbarians behind Liu Bei.


    It''s just that the barbarians always follow.


    When Zhuge Liang ran all the way north, he also arranged for soldiers to attract barbarians to pursue him.


    In this way, Liu Bei arrived at the north gate without danger.


    In the direction of the north gate, there are not many soldiers stationed.


    Moreover, the soldiers stationed were the legitimate forces under Liu Bei''s command.


    As soon as Liu Bei''s White army arrived, the two forces closed together, and there were more than 3000 troops under Liu Bei''s command. He went straight out of the city and ran quickly.


    On the way out of the city, all the way was smooth, and there was no blocking force.


    After running for about half an hour, they were far away from Chengdu. At this time, Liu Bei ordered the soldiers to stop and rest.


    We can''t see the shadow of pursuing troops in the rear.


    Without the cry of pursuing soldiers, Liu Bei also stopped to catch his breath.


    Liu Bei''s face was full of helplessness. He sighed: "military strategist, this time, our army has been destroyed."


    Zhuge Liang sighed: "Liu Xiu is too cunning, and we overestimate the power of Sun Quan and Cao Cao, but we can''t contain Liu Xiu."


    His plan is to use Sun Quan and Cao Cao, but in fact, it failed to achieve the effect.


    Liu Bei said, "military adviser, what shall we do next?"


    After hearing this, Zhuge Liang was dumb for a moment.


    Where are you going next?


    The barbarians all began to surrender to Liu Xiu. Under such circumstances, it was no longer safe to enter the barbarians, and Zhuge Liang could not think of a suitable place for Yizhou to be so big.


    "Hahaha, Liu Bei, you are here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."


    All of a sudden, like the sound of thunder.


    Huang Hu riding a black horse, led the army from the front of the official road to kill out, blocked the way.


    Liu Bei''s face changed greatly.


    Ambush!


    There are ambushes here!

 Chapter 691

    "My life is over!"


    Liu Bei''s face turned pale when he saw the yellow tiger on the official road ahead.


    Who is Huang Hu?


    This guy is the number one general under Liu Xiu.


    At the beginning, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were not Huang Hu''s rivals.


    Especially now, there are no generals under Liu Bei. It''s impossible to stop Huang Hu''s attack.


    You''re not going to get it?


    In Liu Bei''s heart, such an idea arose.


    However, he soon put out the idea.


    He has been on the battlefield for more than 30 years, and has experienced countless wars, large and small.


    Even at the end of his life, he never gave up.


    At present, there are more than 3000 white soldiers around him, and he still has a chance to rush past.


    Liu Bei drew out his double swords and ordered: "white soldiers, line up!"


    At the command, all the white soldiers under his command were arrayed.


    All the soldiers clenched the long knife and pointed in the direction of the yellow tiger.


    Huang Hu grinned and had a bright smile on his face. He said in a loud voice, "Liu Bei, you are so obedient that the soldiers around you can survive. If you fight to the death, you will die in the end


    Liu Bei roared: "I, Liu Bei, would rather die than surrender!"


    Huang Hu said: "good one would rather die than fall. I admire you. When I take you down, I''ll blow your head with a hammer, so that you won''t suffer. "


    He swung the golden hammer of the drum jar, pointed at Liu Bei, and ordered: "kill!"


    At a command, Huang Hu raced out.


    Around the flying tiger camp soldiers, close to kill together.


    The horses galloped, the soldiers roared and went straight to Liu Bei''s soldiers.


    Liu Bei ordered: "rush, rush!"


    The white soldier got the order and rushed forward bravely.


    Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang also broke through quickly under the cover of white soldiers.


    Zhuge Liang saw all this in his eyes and thought calmly.


    In the past, Liu Xiu would lay all kinds of ambush when fighting with Liu Xiu. Now Huang Hu is the only one who sends troops to rob and kill, which is not like Liu Xiu''s style.


    Murphy, there''s an ambush ahead.


    But Zhuge Liang has no way to solve it.


    At this point, even if there is an ambush ahead, he can only follow Liu Bei forward.


    At the present stage, there is no chance to retreat.


    The two armies clashed.


    Huang Hu picked up the golden hammer of the drum jar and quickly killed him.


    The golden hammer swung up and hit the white soldier, so that the white soldier had no resistance.


    He hammered the soldiers one by one and kept killing them.


    The soldiers of the flying tiger camp also rushed to kill quickly.


    In the confrontation between the two sides, Bai''s soldiers fell to the disadvantage.


    Liu Bei''s white soldiers are all elite, but these soldiers ran out of Chengdu City for more than half an hour, which consumed a lot of physical strength.


    Now, in the face of war, it is not enough.


    The war was not good, but Liu Bei had to bear it.


    Liu Bei with Zhuge Liang constantly escape, constantly forward, a little bit of breakthrough in the line of defense of the flying tiger camp soldiers.


    "Come on, move forward, move forward."


    Liu Bei roared. He just scanned the battlefield and saw Huang Hu.


    Huang Hu was three feet behind him.


    Once Huang Hu catches up with him, he will not be able to escape.


    "Come on, stop the yellow tiger!"


    "Quick, stop the yellow tiger!"


    "Stop the yellow tiger!"


    Liu Bei repeatedly dispatched soldiers to stop the yellow tiger behind him.


    Huang Hu is trapped in the block of the white soldier. He keeps hammering the white soldier, but he doesn''t really catch up. Especially when Huang Hu saw that Liu Bei led Bai Jun to break through the line of defense of the flying tiger camp soldiers, he was not worried, and his mouth even had a sneer.


    Liu Bei thought he was going to escape, but there was no such easy thing.


    Huang Hu no longer pays attention to Liu Bei, but focuses on leading the flying tiger camp to cover up and kill the white soldiers.


    Liu Bei with Zhuge Liang escaped from the line of defense of the flying tiger camp, his face is also a touch of hope.


    Liu Bei glanced at the white soldiers around, but his heart was like a knife.


    The white soldiers around him had lost more than half of them.


    Fortunately, he escaped.


    Liu Bei said: "military strategist, let''s speed up again to avoid being overtaken by Huang Hu."


    Zhuge Liang opened his mouth, but he swallowed it again.


    Zhugeling wants to tell Liu Bei that Huang Hu is not entangled. There must be ambush ahead, but at this point, he can''t bear to hit Liu Bei.


    Now they are pushed forward like puppets.


    There is no solution to this situation.


    Dead end!


    There are only these two words in Zhuge Liang''s mind.Liu Bei and his team continued to retreat. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the pipeline in front of him widened.


    All of a sudden, the battle drum sounded.


    "Dong! Dong


    The mighty battle drums resounded on the hillside.


    On both sides of the forest, suddenly out of a pair of soldiers, blocking the road.


    The leader, however, is shamoko.


    He grinned and said, "Liu Bei, I''ve been waiting for you here for a long time. You''re here at last


    In shamoko''s mind, he was worried that Huang Hu would take Liu Bei first.


    Now seeing Liu Bei, shamoko is at ease.


    This time, Liu Bei''s credit is his.


    Liu Bei saw shamoko in front of him and looked at the exhausted white soldiers around him. His face was dignified and worried.


    Can we make it this time?


    Liu Bei has no bottom in his heart.


    Liu Bei, however, was not willing to give up. He raised his double-edged sword and ordered: "kill!"


    At a command, only the remaining white soldiers launched a charge.


    However, shamoko was not in a hurry to fight.


    Shamoko was on his horse, watching the white soldiers approaching.


    As the distance approached fifty paces or so, shamoko ordered, "Archer, shoot!"


    "Whew! Whew


    The dense rain like bows and arrows suddenly shot out from the mountain forests on both sides.


    The dense bows and arrows, whizzing into the body of the white soldiers, reaping a life.


    In the first round of arrow rain, all the white soldiers who rushed to the front fell down.


    The bow and arrow continued to rain.


    And the white soldiers rushed forward one after another, constantly shortening the distance.


    When it was less than 15 steps away from shamoko, there were only more than 600 soldiers left.


    The ground was full of corpses, all the corpses of white soldiers.


    Shamoko ordered: "long spear formation, attack!"


    Shamoko still didn''t rush to the front and gave an order. With this order, on the official road, a group of soldiers with long spearmen slowly stepped forward.


    A long gun forward, flashing cold light.


    The long spear array is to reap the lives of the white soldiers.


    If shamoko takes the offensive strategy, the other side is likely to escape. In order to prevent Liu Bei from escaping, Zhang Ya had already ordered shamoko to fight against Liu Bei in order to win Liu Bei completely.


    Shamoko watched the two sides fight, and the white soldiers fell down one after another, with a smile on his face.


    Nowadays, Liu Bei has fewer and fewer soldiers around him.


    When Liu Bei becomes a loner, he can take Liu Bei easily.

 Chapter 692

    The fighting is getting worse and worse.


    The appearance of the spear array seemed to be a natural moat, blocking Liu Bei''s retreat. One by one, the white soldiers died under the spear, but they didn''t bring any harm to the spear.


    Looking at the scene on the official road ahead, Liu Bei said dejectedly: "defeated!"


    When Zhuge Liang heard the speech, he was silent.


    When they were in Jiaozhou, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang fled because of the chaotic situation at that time and Chen''s death.


    This time, no one broke up.


    And Liu Xiu seems to be sure that they will go through the north gate and have already laid an ambush.


    Under such circumstances, Liu Bei could not break through.


    I can''t escape!


    In Liu Bei''s mind, such an idea came into being.


    Seeing the approaching long spearmen, Liu Bei clenched the male and female double swords in his hand and prepared for the last fight.


    When Zhuge Liang saw this, his eyes kept turning.


    At this time, the only way to die is to seek death.


    Zhuge Liang said, "Lord, surrender."


    "Ah


    Liu Bei was surprised to hear Zhuge Liang say surrender.


    Liu Bei knows Zhuge Liang well.


    Zhuge Liang was arrogant, especially when he came from the same school as Pang Tong. Zhuge Liang''s defection to Liu Bei is to suppress Liu Xiu and compare Pang Tong.


    Unfortunately, Zhuge Liang failed every time.


    Liu Xiu is Zhuge Liang''s heart knot.


    Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Zhuge Liang to surrender.


    But Zhuge Liang made him surrender.


    Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang with a puzzled look in his eyes. He didn''t know what Zhuge Liang thought.


    Zhuge Liang''s tired face, however, showed a look of perseverance, saying: "Lord, after the defeat of the state of Yue, Gou Jian is still able to endure hardships. My Lord is only defeated by Liu Xiu now. Did he give up? Surrender is just a form. The Lord''s heart never surrendered to Liu Xiu. "


    When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes widened and his face was shocked.


    At this moment, Liu Bei knew Zhuge Liang''s inner thoughts.


    Liu Bei''s heart was shocked.


    At this point, Zhuge Liang has not given up. What reason does he have to give up?


    When he took part in the war against Huangjin, he made many achievements. When he was awarded the reward, he did not get a single reward, so he endured it. When he took part in the war against Dong Zhuo, his three brothers made contributions, but they were still ignored, and he recognized them.


    Later, when he arrived in Xuzhou, he occupied Xuzhou and had a foothold, but he was overpowered by Lu Bu. Liu Bei still endured


    Step by step, he didn''t know how many things he had gone through.


    One by one, one by one, he took it all.


    Now it''s just a surrender to Liu Xiu. What can he not bear?


    Liu Bei folded his hands and said, "thank you for reminding me. Liu Bei understands."


    Zhuge Liang said, "it''s good for you to understand."


    Liu Bei turned to look at the long Spearman. He threw away his double sword and knelt down on the ground. He said in a high voice, "Liu Bei is willing to surrender!"


    There''s gold under a man''s knee!


    However, in Liu Bei''s heart, there are more grand ambitions.


    For his ambition, for his ambition, he is willing to kneel down and surrender.


    All the white soldiers around were not reconciled.


    Zhuge Liang knelt down and knelt aside.


    After seeing this, Bai Qibing heard Liu Bei''s call for their surrender. At last, they all knelt down and surrendered, and no longer resisted.


    Shamoko saw this scene and was stunned.


    What''s the situation?


    A man like Liu Bei surrendered.


    When he led the troops in this ambush, Zhang jaw also specially told him that if Liu Bei vowed not to surrender, he could knock him unconscious and take him back to Liu Xiu for disposal.


    But now, Liu Bei surrendered directly.


    Shamoko was first surprised, then surprised.


    Anyway, he took Liu Bei.


    "Come on, take Liu Bei for me."


    With a wave of his hand, shamoko''s soldiers came forward and directly detained Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.


    The rest of the white soldiers were all under control.


    One by one, the soldiers were controlled, and shamoko began to clean up the battlefield.


    "Da! "Da!"


    The sound of the horse''s hoof came from the official road in the rear.


    At this time, Huang Hu led the cavalry of flying tiger camp to kill. Huang Hu is ready to pick up a bargain, but when he looks around, he finds that shamoko has taken Liu Bei. He is so angry that he blows his beard and glares.


    Huang Hu said in a loud voice: "Lao Sha, you bastard, you''ve picked up a bargain again."


    Shamoke laughed and said, "tiger, it''s your choice to intercept Liu Bei at the first level. Now I''ve got Liu Bei. Don''t be so cocky. "Huang Hu snorted, rather displeased.


    This time, shamoko made a contribution again.


    Huang Hu came to Liu Bei, turned over and dismounted. He came to Liu Bei and patted him on the face. He said, "old Liu Bei, why don''t you resist for a while? When your grandfather Huang arrives, you can''t stop him any more."


    Liu Bei''s face was angry, but he didn''t say a word.


    He remembered Huang Hu''s humiliation.


    He remembered all this.


    Huang Hu looked at shamoko and said, "Lao Sha, have you finished handling this? When it''s done, we''ll go back. "


    "Right away," said shamoko


    It doesn''t take time to clean up the battlefield. It''s finished soon, and then all the bodies are burned with a fire.


    The army returned to Chengdu.


    When shamoko and Huang Hu returned to Chengdu, the war in Chengdu was over.


    All the barbarians are under control.


    All the leaders of the barbarian tribes also gathered together.


    Liu Xiu stationed the army camp outside Chengdu and began to clean up the government affairs.


    When shamoko and Huang Hu returned to the barracks, they first took the captured Bai Xiang soldiers into custody, and then took Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to court the Chinese army.


    Entering the camp, shamoko and Huang Hu salute with fists.


    Liu Xiu sat on the top and said, "where are Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang?"


    Shamoko said, "report back to the king. These two men have been caught and are outside the camp."


    Liu Xiu said, "bring it in!"


    "Here it is


    Shamoko ordered immediately.


    The soldiers escorted Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang into the camp.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. Today''s two people, who are dusty, extremely haggard.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Liu Bei, this time, you can''t run away."


    Although Liu Bei looked tired, he said: "Liu Bei''s attempt to compete with the king of Chu is beyond his capacity. Today, Liu Bei is willing to submit to and serve the king of Chu. "


    Liu Xiumei''s head was raised, and there was something unexpected.


    Is Liu Bei going to surrender?


    It''s a rare thing to see in a thousand years.


    Liu Xiu stared at Liu Bei and said, "Liu Bei, do you really want to submit to our king?"


    Liu Bei replied: "the king of Chu was wise and powerful, defeated Cao Cao and retired Sun Quan. Now he has swept away the unstable factors in Yizhou. The king of Chu will pacify the world soon. Although I have little knowledge, I know the current situation, so I am willing to submit to the king of Chu. "


    "Ha..."


    Liu Xiu gave a sneer, but with a look of examination in his eyes.


    Liu Bei said it easily, but Liu Xiu didn''t believe it.


    Liu Bei is a real hero, tough temperament, such a person, will not give up the ideal in the heart.


    The only explanation is Liu Bei''s temporary surrender.

 Chapter 693

    Liu Xiu thought with his eyes.


    He looked at Zhuge Liang with a look of examination in his eyes.


    Perhaps this is Zhuge Liang''s suggestion.


    Of course, it may be Liu Bei''s own idea.


    After all, Liu Bei''s previous defeats did not mean that he would die with vigour and vitality. They were all indomitable and continued to struggle.


    Liu Xiu said tentatively: "Kong Ming, Liu Bei''s surrender should come from your suggestion."


    Zhuge Liang said, "the king of Chu is wise!"


    Zhuge Liang did not shy away from persuading Liu Bei.


    Liu Xiu said, "it seems that you Zhuge Liang are going to be Fan Li, but let Liu Bei be Gou Jian. You want to surrender first, and then look for a chance to recover."


    Zhuge Liang sneered and said, "did the king of Chu not have the confidence to accommodate my lord?"


    Liu Xiu said, "is this a method of arousing generals?"


    Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "the king of Chu regarded it as the method of motivating generals, that is the method of motivating generals."


    Liu Xiu said: "it''s the method of arousing generals, but I''m not in the game."


    Zhuge Liang''s face changed slightly.


    Listening to Liu Xiu''s tone, it seems that he doesn''t intend to accept Liu Bei.


    Once Liu Xiu had such an idea, Liu Bei would be in danger. At the moment, Zhuge Liang''s heart was a little impatient, worried that Liu Xiu would not let Liu Bei go.


    Zhuge Liang followed Liu Bei these years and had already learned Liu Bei''s tenacious spirit.


    As long as you live, there''s still a chance.


    Once you die, there''s no chance.


    Therefore, Zhuge Liang hoped Liu Bei would live, so Liu Bei would have a chance in the future.


    Liu Bei is a good observer. After listening to Liu Xiu''s words, he has his own opinions. It seems that Liu Xiu is not going to let him go.


    Therefore, there is no need for Zhuge Liang to waste his time.


    Liu Bei stopped Zhuge Liang and said, "king of Chu, Liu Bei really works. If you don''t want to accept it, if you want to kill or cut it, you can do as you please."


    "Well, well said!"


    Liu Xiu gave a smile.


    Liu Xiu said, "Liu Bei, I want to kill you."


    "Hiss!"


    When Liu Bei heard Liu Xiu''s words, he couldn''t help taking a cold breath.


    He felt Liu Xiu''s determination.


    Liu Xiu really wanted to kill him.


    Liu Xiu said, "Liu Bei, do you know why I want to kill you?"


    Liu Bei replied, "because of Liu Qi and Liu Cong."


    In the past, Liu Cong and Liu Xiu fought, but Liu Bei did not recognize the legitimacy of Liu Xiu''s succession to Jingzhou.


    Later, Liu Bei helped Liu Qi and Liu Xiu fight.


    Liu Bei believes that this is the main reason why Liu Xiu killed him.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Liu Xuande, it seems that I know you, but you don''t know me."


    Liu Bei asked, "what''s the meaning of this?"


    He wanted to hear what Liu Xiu would have.


    For Liu Xiu, Liu Bei has always been extremely scared. Now in front of Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu directly said that he wanted to kill him, but he let go. Anyway, it''s just a trace. He doesn''t care.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "the reason why I want to kill you is not because of the big brother and the second brother, but because of you, Liu Bei himself."


    Liu Bei was puzzled.


    Zhuge Liang''s eyes flashed a light, said: "Liu Xiu, you are afraid of the Lord."


    Liu Xiu laughed and admitted, "yes, I''m afraid of Liu Bei. In the world, who is not afraid of Liu Bei? Even Cao Cao is afraid of Liu Bei. It''s normal for me to be afraid. "


    "It''s reasonable to say that you Liu Bei have always been a lost dog, which is not worth mentioning."


    "However, you have a tough character."


    "This is Liu Bei''s biggest advantage."


    "If it was Xiang Yu''s character, after a big defeat, he would commit suicide directly in Wujiang. But in fact, there are plenty of opportunities to meet. Unfortunately, he is not tough enough. "


    "However, Liu Bei''s character is never different


    "Fight and lose, but you never give up."


    "Such a person is terrible."


    There was a look of admiration in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    Liu Bei''s advantage is easy to say, but it is quite difficult to do.


    Liu Bei said with a smile: "thank you for your praise!"


    He did not expect that Liu Xiu should respect his advantage.


    Liu Xiu continued: "of course, you Liu Bei have a second question. You, Liu Bei, have never been loyal to anyone. No matter Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, you are not loyal. "


    "You went to Xuzhou, Xuzhou Tao Qian died, you occupied Xuzhou."


    "When you come to Jingzhou, your father is dead. You almost want to occupy Jingzhou."


    "You went to Jiaozhou and occupied Jiaozhou.""You are a person who is not willing to give up. Although you hide well, this is you."


    "It''s only expedient for you to surrender now."


    "In the twinkling of an eye, you may slip away."


    Liu Xiu stared at Liu Bei and said, "Liu Xuande, is my king right?"


    This article analyzes Liu Bei''s situation.


    The look on Liu Bei''s face changed slightly. He stared at Liu Xiu for the first time.


    Finally, Liu Bei said with emotion: "the king of Chu knows me!"


    Liu Bei was surprised. He did not expect that the person who knew him best was his old enemy Liu Xiu. At this moment, Liu Bei''s heart is only a "Fu" word, and he is satisfied with Liu Xiufu.


    When Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Xiu, he was surprised that Liu Xiu would say something like this.


    I''m surprised!


    It''s a shock!


    This time, Zhuge Liang felt that he had never known Liu Xiu before.


    The person in front of him who can take charge of the party at a young age and rise step by step is by no means a simple person.


    Liu Xiu said, "Liu Bei, what else do you have to say?"


    When Liu Bei shook his robes, he looked serious and said, "since the king of Chu has decided to kill me, Liu Bei has nothing to say. Please give me a sword. "


    At the moment, Liu Bei is ready to commit suicide.


    To die is to die in one''s own hands.


    How can you fake others?


    Liu Xiu took the sword from his waist. With a wave of his hand, Deng Zhan handed it to Liu Bei.


    Liu Bei took the sword and said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, I will be your enemy in the next life."


    "Sonorous!"


    The sword came out of its sheath and a cold light passed through the air.


    Liu Bei committed suicide with his sword. The blade of the sword crossed his neck, and blood splashed on the ground.


    "Bang Dang!"


    When the sword fell to the ground, Liu Bei stood and shook twice.


    Then, it went to the end.


    Liu Bei fell on the ground, his body slightly twitching, the look in his eyes, gradually become hazy up. In reality and fantasy, he seemed to see his second and third brothers coming.


    "Second brother..."


    "Third brother..."


    Liu Bei''s mouth wriggled twice, but his voice was so small that he could hardly hear it.


    A moment later, as soon as Liu Bei''s eyes closed, he completely lost his breath.


    A generation of heroes died.


    Looking at the dead Liu Bei, Liu Xiu gave a long sigh of relief and said, "Deng Zhan, arrange someone to restrain Liu Bei''s body, and then prepare a superior coffin to bury Liu Bei."


    Although Liu Bei is an enemy, he is also a respectable enemy.


    Such an indomitable enemy and such a spirit are worthy of Liu Xiu''s admiration.

 Chapter 694

    Liu Bei''s body was taken down and the blood in the camp was cleaned up.


    All eyes are focused on Zhuge Liang.


    At this time, it is how to deal with Zhuge Liang.


    Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "what will the king of Chu do with me?"


    Now that Liu Bei is dead, Zhuge Liang is at a loss and at a loss for a while. He was loyal to Liu Bei, because Liu Bei was very kind to him and gave him military and political power.


    Unfortunately, Liu Bei died.


    For a moment, Zhuge Liang didn''t know where he was going.


    Liu Xiu stared at Zhuge Liang and said, "Kong Ming, do you still remember the scene when you and I used to be in lumen mountain?"


    Zhuge Liang said: "after many years, I can''t remember it."


    He has an impression of the past.


    It''s just that he doesn''t want to think about it.


    Liu Xiuse said: "in the past, you and I had a good relationship in lumen mountain. But your mind is to find a person who can completely entrust you with power, so that you can show what you have learned. "


    "You are more talented than Guan Zhong and Yue Yi. You have the ambition to help the world."


    "It''s just that who can give you so much power in the next few days?"


    "Cao Cao?"


    "Neither can Cao Cao."


    "Under the command of Cao Cao, there are Xun Yu, Xun you, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun and so on. Moreover, Cao Cao himself is a wise man. He can''t give you all his rights. "


    "Sun Quan?"


    "It''s impossible for Sun Quan."


    "Sun Quan is a man who is good at forbearance, and he also has Zhou Yu under his command."


    "Zhou Yu is both civil and military. He is the God of the sea in Jiangdong. Even if you go to Jiangdong, it''s hard for Sun Quan to completely delegate power to you. "


    Liu Xiu talked about it and said, "of course, I can''t either."


    "Because I have more and more talents under my command."


    "But my territory is getting bigger and bigger."


    "I''m not limited to a county, I''m starting to look at a wider area."


    "If you help me, I can give you a chance to show your ambition."


    Liu Xiu stared at Zhuge Liang and said in a deep voice, "you are talented. I can provide you with a platform. Kongming, are you willing to submit to our king? "


    At this time, Liu Xiu threw out his idea.


    Liu Xiu also needs Zhuge Liang.


    Whether dealing with internal affairs or leading troops in war, Zhuge Liang is able to take charge of his own affairs.


    Liu Xiu also hopes to get such talents.


    After listening to Liu Xiu''s words, Zhuge Liang was moved.


    It''s his honor that Liu Xiuqi values him.


    However, he has no intention to become an official now and does not want to become an official for the time being.


    Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said, "the king of Chu is kind-hearted. However, I have no plans to become an official for the time being, so please forgive me. If the king of Chu wants to kill the next prisoner, I have no opinion. "


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he frowned.


    He tried his best to ask Zhuge Liang to help him, but he didn''t want to.


    For a time, Liu Xiu was in a bit of a dilemma.


    Let Zhuge Liang leave. What if Zhuge Liang helps other forces after he leaves?


    At that time, Liu Xiu was raising a tiger for trouble.


    But Liu Xiu was not willing to kill Zhuge Liang.


    Liu Bei is different from Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei is a hero and a ruler, while Zhuge Liang is just a counsellor. Zhuge Liang can''t stand on his own.


    So now, Liu Xiu is in a dilemma.


    "Your Majesty, I have something to say."


    Suddenly, Pang Tong stood up and went into the hall.


    As soon as Pang Tong stood up, Zhuge Liang''s face changed slightly.


    In lumen mountain, there was a competition between Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong. Pang Tong is fengxiao, he is Wolong, both of them can help the Lord sweep the world, but in the end, he failed, and Pang Tong succeeded.


    Now, is Pang Tong going to save him?


    In Zhuge Liang''s heart, for a moment, it was very unpleasant.


    In fact, in Zhuge Liang''s mind, he did not take Pang Tong seriously.


    On the one hand, Pang Tong''s appearance is too ugly; on the other hand, Pang Tong''s character is somewhat perverse.


    This kind of pangtong is doomed to be difficult to become a great tool.


    But Zhuge Liang thought Pang Tong couldn''t do it. In the end, Pang Tong made great achievements.


    Liu Xiu stared at Pang Tong and said, "Shiyuan, do you have anything to say?"


    Pang Tong said: "king, please spare Kong Ming''s life."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed after listening.


    Pang Tong continued: "I guarantee with my life that Kongming will not serve other vassals or be the enemy of the king. Moreover, if Kong Ming is not willing to become an official, he should ask the king to send him to lumen academy and ask him to assist Pang Degong and Sima Hui in teaching. "This road was the one that Pang Tong thought was most suitable for Zhuge Liang.


    Zhuge Liang didn''t want to be an official. At this time, he had to go to lumen Academy. At least Zhuge Liang had something to do.


    Moreover, this is also in Liu Xiu''s sight.


    This arrangement can make Liu Xiu feel at ease.


    After Liu Xiu heard this, he sighed. Pang Tong had made such suggestions, and he couldn''t help but adopt them. Moreover, Liu Xiu really didn''t want to kill Zhuge Liang.


    What a pity to kill him!


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhuge Liang and asked, "what do you think, Kong Ming?"


    Zhuge Liang said, "it''s all up to the king of Chu."


    It''s also a good choice to go to lumen Academy.


    Perhaps, this is the best for him.


    Now Zhuge Liang doesn''t want to take part in the war any more. He goes to the academy to have a rest and think about the future.


    Liu Xiu was relieved to hear Zhuge Liang agree.


    If Zhuge Liang didn''t even agree with Pang Tong''s proposal, Liu Xiu could only wield a knife mercilessly.


    Liu Xiu said, "come on!"


    A soldier came in and saluted.


    Liu Xiu said, "take Zhuge Liang down to have a rest."


    "Here it is


    The soldier waved his hand and left with Zhuge Liang.


    The war is coming to an end. Liu Xiu wants to leave Zhuge Liang in the camp for the time being. When he returns to Xiangyang, he will return with Zhuge Liang.


    When Liu Xiu dealt with Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, he waved his hand to let his men step down.


    The next thing is about Zhang Yan and Liu ba.


    It is necessary to deal with these things to appease the barbarians and to incorporate them. However, Liu Xiu will not deal with it in person. He will only see the final result.


    Seven days is fleeting.


    During these seven days, Zhang Ya and Liu Bei were dealing with the affairs of barbarians, and the situation of Yizhou was restored at the same time.


    Some officials related to Liu Bei were all taken down.


    A number of officials have fallen, and a new group of officials have taken office.


    When the barbarians were reorganized and all the barbarian tribal leaders were settled, Liu Xiu called Liu Ba and Zhang Xi. In addition, Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Deng Zhan, Huo Jun, Chen Dao and others were all present.


    Everyone gathered in the tent.


    Liu Xiu''s face was serious and his eyes swept over his subordinates.


    During this period, the situation in Yizhou has stabilized. Now, he is going to rebuild the platoon and prepare to withdraw.


    After all, the front line is still under pressure from the Cao army and the Jiangdong army.


    However, after the news of Liu Bei''s defeat came out, both sides also stopped, but it was not too urgent.

 Chapter 695

    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Chen Dao.


    This time Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang rebelled, Chen Dao could be said to have handled it quite badly.


    At this time, there must be disposal.


    Otherwise, the reward and punishment are not clear.


    However, there is another problem under Liu Xiu''s command, that is, it is very difficult to find a person to guard the army alone when the main generals are all deployed to different places.


    Liu xiuzeng privately asked Ma Chao about his opinion and whether he was willing to serve as the chief General of the Sixth Army.


    However, Ma Chao refused.


    Ma Chao has two ideas.


    First of all, he wanted to avenge his father. Once he became the chief General of the Sixth Army, when he attacked Cao Cao, he couldn''t get away from him at all. He couldn''t go north with Liu Xiu.


    Second, his younger sister is Liu Xiu''s woman. When he becomes the chief General of the Sixth Army, it is easy to cause excessive power. Although he served in the Sixth Army, it was good for Ma Yunlu, but it was easy to cause fear, which Ma Chao didn''t want. He didn''t want his sister to be involved in the whirlpool of power.


    For two reasons, Ma Chao refused directly.


    If Ma Chao didn''t want to, Liu Xiu had some difficulties.


    Because after Chen was removed, no one was able to preside over the situation in Yizhou.


    At least, jaw opening is not good for the time being.


    Another point is that Chen Dao, who has been in charge of military affairs in Yizhou for many years, is already familiar with it. At this time, Chen Dao is most suitable for stabilizing the situation. It is impossible to stabilize the situation in a short period of time with another person.


    Liu Xiu took a deep breath and said, "Chen Dao!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Step to the salute and stand out.


    He was also worried. He didn''t know how Liu Xiu would arrange it.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "this turmoil in Yizhou is due to your improper handling. Therefore, do you believe that I have removed you from the post of chief General of the Sixth Army? "


    Chen Dao said bitterly, "I am convinced at the end."


    After all, he is a master who has been captured alive, which is humiliating enough.


    Liu Xiu just dismissed him from office and did not punish him any more, which can be regarded as extra mercy.


    Liu Ba stepped forward, arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."


    Liu Ba is the governor of Yizhou, responsible for the internal affairs of Yizhou.


    Under Liu BA''s administration, Yizhou really developed rapidly. If it wasn''t for Liu Bei''s uproar, Yizhou would be one of the best in Liu Xiu''s territory.


    In particular, the development of hospitals and academies in Yizhou is more rapid.


    Compared with the Central Plains.


    There are Yizhou aristocratic families, but they are all in Chengdu, Hanzhong and other places.


    Although these aristocratic families are powerful, they are much inferior to the Pang family, the Kuai family and the Cai family.


    In the face of the power of the government, it is not worth mentioning.


    Therefore, the implementation of the academy and one member has achieved quite good results.


    Liu Xiu admired Liu Ba and said, "what do you want to say?"


    Liu Ba arched his hand and said: "in reply to the king, I think that although general Chen was guilty of the defeat, I can''t ignore his efforts and contributions over the years. General Chen''s years in Yizhou laid a solid foundation for the stability and development of Yizhou, and ensured the development of Yizhou. Chen believes that although general Chen is guilty, his merits should also be considered. "


    At this time, Liu Ba did not want Chen to be transferred.


    After all, he and Chen Dao cooperate very well. They have been used to each other''s style for a long time. They all know what kind of people they are.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu looked thoughtful.


    "Your Majesty, I have something to say."


    At this time, Huo Jun also stood up.


    Huo Jun didn''t intend to stand up, but Chen Dao was involved. He couldn''t just sit back and ignore it.


    Although he was also captured, he did not even have the right to speak.


    But now, he can''t ignore it.


    Liu Xiu said, "what do you have to say?"


    Huo Jun said: "king, although general Chen was responsible for the defeat in this war, he didn''t help General Chen well as a military adviser. Moreover, it is a humble duty to give advice on the battlefield. It''s dereliction of duty, not to blame general Chen. "


    After hearing this, Chen Dao secretly shakes his head at Huojun.


    At this time, Huo Jun shouldn''t have come out.


    Liu Xiu examined Huo Jun, but he didn''t say anything.


    Huo Jun can take the risk to persuade, which proves that Chen Dao has done a good job.


    Pang Tong also stood up and said, "king, I think that although general Chen Zhi has some mistakes, it''s time to employ people. It''s better to let General Chen Zhi make up for his mistakes."


    Huang Hu also came out to plead for Chen Dao.


    Huang Hu and Chen Dao are friends.


    In Jiaozhou in the past, Huang Hu and Chen Dao fought several times. Although Huang Hu won Chen Dao''s victory, he also admired Chen Dao''s courage and martial arts.


    They all hope that Liu Xiu will be punished lightly.Liu Xiu stares at Chen Dao and says, "Chen Dao, you are very popular."


    Chen Dao said, "king, you will be guilty."


    At this time, Chen Dao can only plead guilty, and he can''t say anything more.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "Chen to listen to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    At this time, Chen was also happy.


    It seems that Liu Xiu will not get rid of his official position completely.


    Liu Xiu said, "I''m wang Nian. You''ve made contributions to Yizhou, and at the same time, you''re allowed to make up for your mistakes. You will be the chief General of the Sixth Army for the time being. "


    Chen to boxing way: "the end will not fail the king''s kindness."


    At the moment, Chen Dao really has a feeling of survival.


    I don''t know what it''s like.


    Liu Xiu sees Chen Dao''s expression in his eyes. He also has expectations in his eyes. He hopes Chen Dao can make persistent efforts. As a matter of fact, he first removed Chen Dao from office, but he did not intend to let Chen Dao not preside over the Sixth Army, because the Sixth Army needed Chen Dao.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huo Jun and said directly, "Huo Jun, although you are not responsible for the defeat of the Sixth Army, you also have unshirkable responsibility. I will punish you for half a year''s salary. Are you satisfied


    Huo Jun said, "I''m humbly convinced."


    Only half a year''s salary is no big deal for Huo Jun.


    In the army, he has food, clothing, housing and little influence.


    Liu Xiu said: "the Sixth Army is in a state of disrepair and even heavy losses. You two should stabilize the situation as soon as possible and make full use of the Sixth Army."


    "Here it is


    Chen Dao and Huo Jun should fight each other.


    This time, the Sixth Army was completely crippled.


    Chen Dao and Huo Jun are back. Now we must stabilize the situation as soon as possible.


    Especially when it comes to the countless barbarians who have fallen in income, they also need to be dealt with. Now the pressure on Chen Dao and Huo Jun is not easy.


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Yan and said, "Zhang Yan, reorganize the soldiers. Three days later, the army set out and returned to Xiangyang. "


    "Here it is


    Open the jaw and hold the fist.


    Liu Xiu had a lot of trust in Zhang''s ability to lead the army.


    Under Zhang''s command, Liu Xiu tried his best to delegate power to Zhang, so that Zhang''s experience could be increased.


    There is no lack of jaw opening skills.


    However, under Liu Xiu''s command, Zhang Yan lacked qualifications.


    Liu Xiu looked at Liu Ba and said, "Liu Ba, I''ve only been in Chengdu for three days. In the past three days, the situation will be stabilized as soon as possible. In three days, it''s up to you. "


    Liu Ba arched his hand and said, "I understand your humble position."


    Liu Xiu''s three-day stay is a chance for Liu Ba, Chen Dao and Huo Jun.


    With Liu Xiu''s army in town, three people would be much more convenient.


    After these three days, it will be much easier for them to follow up.

 Chapter 696

    Three days is fleeting.


    With the cooperation of Liu Ba, Chen Dao and Huo Jun, everything in Chengdu began to recover quickly.


    The government and the army cooperated with each other.


    Everything is normal again.


    On this day, outside the east gate of Chengdu.


    A great army was arrayed.


    Zhang Xi, Huang Hu, Sha Moke and others have been waiting for the battle.


    Liu Ba, Chen Dao and Huo Jun came to see Liu Xiu off.


    Liu Ba stood in front of Liu Xiu, arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I will surely keep Yizhou well and let Yizhou go to a higher level."


    Liu xiudao: "you handle affairs, this king is at ease."


    At this point, Liu Xiu stopped for a moment and said, "but you must deal with the affairs of barbarians. It''s a tricky thing for the barbarians to refuse to accept Wang Hua and have their own customs. "


    "Well handled, it will be conducive to the development of Yizhou."


    "If it is not handled properly, it will hinder the development of Yizhou."


    "It''s a double-edged sword. Be careful when handling it."


    Liu Xiu knew that Liu BA was talented, but he was still worried.


    The problem of barbarians existed in all dynasties, especially because of the special customs.


    It is not a matter of one day or a small matter to thoroughly integrate the barbarians into the Han people.


    Liu Ba solemnly said: "the king reminds me, I will remember."


    Liu xiudao: "you just remember!"


    Liu Xiu looked at Chen Dao and Huo Jun again and said, "you two, take care of yourself."


    "Here it is


    Chen Dao and Huo Jun responded.


    Liu Xiu big sleeve a whisk, way: "good, arrive here, need not send again."


    As the voice fell, Liu Xiu boarded the carriage.


    With a command, the carriage began to move slowly.


    The army set out and began to leave Chengdu.


    ¡­¡­


    North.


    Jizhou, Yecheng.


    Cao Cao''s Wei palace has arrived in Yecheng.


    Today''s Cao Cao, the head has grown a lush hair, but the hair, a lot of gray color.


    Cao Cao is not young.


    He is now 58 years old, nearly 60 years old, and has lived most of his life.


    But Cao Cao''s spirit is good now.


    With Hua Tuo''s careful care, his headache problem has been solved, which hardly affects him. But at Hua Tuo''s suggestion, he still needs to rest and not work too hard.


    In view of this, Cao Cao delegated power to Cao Pi, let Cao Pi deal with government affairs.


    In history, Cao Cao, between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, made constant choices and never made up his mind.


    However, in the first battle of Nanyang, Cao Cao, at the suggestion of Cheng Yu, appointed Cao Pi as the son of the king of Wei.


    This edict has already come into effect.


    At that time, Cao Pi was appointed as the son of the world in order to prevent the death of Cao Cao, which led to the turmoil of the imperial court.


    Now that Cao Cao has recovered, his illness has disappeared.


    In a short time, Cao Pi could not succeed to the throne.


    But in general, Cao Pi made a profit, because he no longer had to compete with Cao Zhi for the position of son of the world, and Cao Cao could not abolish Cao Pi, otherwise Cao Pi would really be abolished.


    After a son ascends the throne, he will no longer serve as a son until he is abolished.


    Cao Pi did a good job, so Cao Cao recognized it.


    Even though Cao Cao loved Cao Zhi more, he knew that Cao Pi was the most suitable successor.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of footwork came, and the servant entered the palace: "King Wei, I want to see you."


    Cao Cao said, "let him in!"


    After a while, Cao Pi strode in.


    Cao Pi folded his hands, arched his hands and said, "my son is here to see my father."


    "Sit down!"


    Cao Cao waved.


    Cao Pi said, "father Xie."


    Cao Cao said, "what''s the matter with you?"


    Cao Pi said: "my son has just received the news that Liu Xiuping has decided the rebellion in Yizhou and has returned to Xiangyang. In this war, Liu Xiu killed Liu Bei and captured Zhuge Liang, which solved the hidden danger of the barbarians in Yizhou. "


    Mentioning Liu Xiu, Cao Pi had a faint fear.


    Liu Xiu was able to fight against the state of Wei and block the attack of the state of Wu with his own strength, which was quite powerful.


    Cao Cao said: "this is expected."


    "Originally, Wang intended to take advantage of Liu Bei''s opportunity to send another army to recruit Liu Xiu. Unfortunately, the Chinese miracle doctor stopped him, and the civil and military forces did not agree."


    "That''s why we only attack Nanyang County."


    "This action, at most, threatened Liu Xiu and could not really restrain him."


    Cao Cao analyzed: "to cooperate with Liu Bei, we can only attack Luoyang, Nanyang and Xiangyang comprehensively, while Sun Quan attacked Jiangxia, Changsha and Jiaozhou."


    "With such a large army, and Liu Bei''s cooperation, we have a chance to succeed.""It''s just that I''m in trouble."


    "Moreover, Sun Quan is patient and more cautious. He will not agree to a full-scale war."


    "So it''s reasonable for Liu Xiu to calm down the situation."


    Cao Cao said with emotion: "today''s Liu Xiu, the general trend has become. In a short time, it would be very difficult to kill Liu Xiu. Now it''s about stamina, it''s about patience, it''s about the foundation. "


    After hearing this, Cao Pi said, "my son has been taught."


    Cao Cao said: "when dealing with the government, you should pay more attention to the people''s livelihood and enhance the combat effectiveness of the army."


    Cao Pi said, "son, I understand!"


    Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "go down, where you don''t understand, ask Wenruo, Gongda and Zhongde for advice."


    "Here it is


    Cao Pi nodded and bowed down.


    Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi''s back and nodded slightly. Cao Cao appreciated Cao Pi''s ability and his style of dealing with government affairs.


    ¡­¡­


    Jiangdong, Yuzhang county.


    Nanchang County.


    This is where Zhou Yu''s base camp is.


    In the big account.


    Zhou Yu is discussing with his generals.


    All the generals gathered.


    At this time, a soldier rushed in from the outside and presented a letter to Zhou Yu.


    After reading it, Zhou Yu''s face changed slightly, and then sighed.


    "Governor, what happened?"


    In the tent, Xu Sheng asked.


    The rest of them all looked at Zhou Yu and waited for him to speak.


    Zhou Yu said: "the king ordered our army to stop fighting with Jingzhou. At the same time, a letter has been written and sent to Xiangyang to ask Liu Xiuhe for peace. "


    "Ah


    Hearing the speech, Xu Sheng couldn''t help exclaiming.


    The others frowned, too.


    They fought with Jingzhou constantly. Although they didn''t make a breakthrough, they also won and lost each other.


    Now to stop fighting means that they give up.


    Zhou Yu''s eyes swept over the generals under his command, and his eyes twinkled. He said, "do you know why general Ben sighed just now?"


    Xu Sheng said: "the governor of Dadu sighs, and he does not agree with the present arrangement."


    "Wrong!"


    Zhou Yu didn''t even think about it. He denied it directly.


    Xu Sheng Leng next, don''t understand Zhou Yu gourd inside sell what medicine.


    Zhou Yu''s eyes swept over the crowd and said in a deep voice, "I will sigh for the hardship of the king. The king is sandwiched between Cao Cao and Liu Xiu. Either side may destroy us. "


    "When Cao Cao is strong, the king should bear his hatred and unite with Liu Xiu to fight against Cao Cao."


    "Liu xiuqiang is prosperous, and the king wants to fight with Cao Cao."


    "Now that Liu Xiu has stabilized the situation in Yizhou and Cao Cao has withdrawn, it will be extremely unfavorable for us to fight Liu Xiu again."


    "The king, regardless of his own honor or disgrace, endured hatred and asked Liu Xiu for peace."


    "It''s not easy for the king," Zhou Yu said with emotion


    As soon as the words came out, everyone was silent. Everyone here knows the hatred between Sun Quan and Liu Xiu. It is not easy for Sun Quan to do so.


    For a moment, there was no more opposition.


    Zhou Yu was relieved to see all this in his eyes.


    As soon as he saw Sun Quan''s letter, he worried that the generals had opinions in their hearts, and he had to resolve the incomprehension of his generals to Sun Quan.

 Chapter 697

    Xiangyang winter, although cold, but did not reach the point of ice.


    It''s cold, but it''s acceptable.


    In particular, the harvest year after year, people have grain in their homes, let alone tighten their belts, although it is winter, but also happy.


    Liu Xiu returned to Xiangyang with his troops. It was nearly December.


    One year is about to pass, and it will soon be a new year.


    Every family is preparing the new year''s goods, and there is a lively atmosphere everywhere.


    A few days ago, Nanyang was attacked by Cao''s army, while Jiangxia was attacked by Wu''s army.


    Although the war happened, it did not affect Xiangyang.


    The most important thing is that up to now, Xiangyang people have developed a sense of self-confidence. They believe that the government can keep it.


    Liu Xiu defeated Cao Cao and Sun Quan.


    A series of victories have proved the strength of Chu.


    Therefore, despite the war, the people were not in a panic.


    Liu Xiu asked Zhang Yan to set up the army and went back to the palace of the king of Chu.


    As soon as he arrived at the palace, he went to the backyard to see Huang Yueying and other girls, then teased the children and went back to the study.


    He has little free time because of his busy government affairs.


    In the study, Kuai Liang, Yi Ji, Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others are all in the study.


    Kuai Liang said: "king, this year''s World War I, if only king''s army had war, food and money could support it."


    "However, Cao Cao and Sun Quan attacked at the same time, which caused great pressure on the state of Chu."


    "Especially the turmoil in Yizhou has made granary unstable."


    "This war can be said to have hit the nail on the head."


    "Yizhou is our granary and must not be affected. Liu Bei has been in chaos for at least one or two years


    Kuai Liang said: "I think Yizhou should strengthen its military strength. In such a big state, there is only one garrison. Will it be clumsy? "


    Kuai Liang is extremely dissatisfied with the situation in Yizhou.


    Kuai Liang even thinks that Liu Ba should be responsible for such a big thing.


    Liu xiudao said: "the reason why Yizhou is difficult to manage is that there are many mountains and forests, and there are many people. Now Liu Ba, Chen Dao and Huo Jun are working on this matter, and we will wait for a while. "


    He appeased Chen Dao and asked Chen Dao and Liu Ba to deal with Yizhou affairs.


    Nowadays, it is not appropriate to interfere in Yizhou affairs again.


    The trust that should be given must be given.


    If Liu Ba is unable to deal with the affairs of Yizhou, Liu Xiu will naturally change the person in charge of Yizhou.


    After hearing this, Kuai Liang had to nod his head.


    Yi Ji took over and said, "although Yizhou is in turmoil, the talents of the academy are still continuously cultivated. I suggest that we select the talents and go to Yizhou to open up wasteland, so that they can develop countless old forests in the mountains. "


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed when he heard it.


    Developing Yizhou is a good proposal.


    Later, in order to increase the development of Bashu, there was a great development of the western region.


    Liu Xiu''s development of Yizhou, of course, can not be compared with that of later generations, whether it is technology, or capital, or even human and material resources.


    But this did not prevent Liu Xiu from sending people to develop Yizhou.


    Take away countless mountain forests and turn them into towns suitable for people to live in.


    They built towns one by one and turned Yizhou into Liu Xiu''s real granary.


    But it''s not easy to do that.


    Liu Xiu said, "Ji Bo, would they like to let the talents of the Academy go?"


    Yi Ji said with a smile: "there must be brave men under the heavy reward. Therefore, I came to ask the king for permission. As long as the king gives them enough treatment, they will go naturally. "


    Liu xiudao: "what conditions do you want to give them?"


    Yi Ji looks a Su, way: "all willing to Yizhou talent, directly appointed as a county magistrate."


    "Within five years, if a county is in power, it will be directly promoted to be the prefect of a county, or it will be directly promoted to be an official in the palace."


    "Two choices, let them choose."


    In Yi Ji''s eyes, there was a decisive look.


    In order to make Yizhou develop completely, this is the result of his discussion with officials.


    Five years later, he was promoted to prefect of a county.


    Five years later, he became an official in the palace.


    For a lot of people, it''s impossible to achieve in a lifetime.


    And directly below is the magistrate of a county.


    This kind of treatment can not be described as not good.


    Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "Ji Bo''s plan is bold."


    Yi Ji asked, "what do you think of the king?"


    The final decision is still on Liu Xiu. It depends on how he decides.


    Liu Xiu suddenly laughed and said, "Mr. Ji Bo still has this ambition. How can I not cooperate with you. We will draw up a list, which will be implemented after the approval of the king. You will be responsible for the unified management of these taxis sent to Yizhou. ""Here it is


    Yi Ji smell speech, the face also put on a smile.


    In the eyes of Yi Ji, the settlement of this issue can be described as three carves with one arrow.


    First, establish a reputation for the Academy.


    When the taxis from lumen academy came out, they were directly transferred to the local government to serve as county magistrate, which shows the power of lumen Academy. After the news comes out, more and more taxis will go to lumen college.


    Second, solve the problem of Yizhou.


    Countless taxis went to Yizhou to take charge of the government. They were young and energetic. They dared to do something. They could speed up the development of Yizhou and make it change gradually.


    Third, give poor scholars more choices.


    Going to remote places, many aristocratic children are not far away, because they have the power of the family. Even if they don''t have to go to remote places, they can still make great progress. But the poor scholars are different. The plan to develop Yizhou is put forward. Many poor scholars can choose to go there.


    Liu Xiu dealt with the affairs of Yi nationality and asked about the recent affairs.


    Everything that needs to be dealt with urgently will be taken out and dealt with by Liu Xiu.


    This busy, straight to the evening.


    Liu Xiu took Kuai Liang, Yi Ji, Jia Xu and others to dinner and continued to deal with it.


    Busy late into the night, even Huang Yueying sent someone to deliver the midnight snack.


    After several people ate, they dealt with all kinds of things, and then Kuai Liang, Yi Ji and others left.


    Liu Xiu stretched his waist, stretched his muscles and bones, and then left the study.


    He went back to the yard and came to live in Huang Yueying''s yard.


    This night, since it is a long drought every rain, the spring breeze overnight rain.


    The next morning, Liu Xiu and several women around him talked about the past, and watched the children play, his face full of smiles. After playing with Liu Zhen for an hour, Liu Xiu got up and left.


    Out of the backyard, Liu Xiu called Deng Zhan and took him to the Academy.


    Lumen academy is in the center of the city.


    Today''s academies are already full of families, and there are many taxis.


    But at the gate of the Academy, there was a soldier''s handle.


    Soldiers are stationed to prevent people from making trouble. After all, Lord pound has been assassinated.


    Liu Xiu arrived with Deng Zhan. After Deng Zhan showed his identity, he entered smoothly.


    When he came to pound''s office, the attendant told him that pound was presiding over the meeting of the Academy. Liu Xiu didn''t mind. He stayed in Pound''s room and waited.


    About half an hour later, there was a rush of footsteps outside the room.


    The door opened and Lord pound came in.


    When Liu Xiu saw that Pang Degong was coming, he got up and said, "teacher!"


    Pound is just: "king of Chu!"


    Although he is Liu Xiu''s teacher, pound does not regard himself as such.

 Chapter 698

    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "the teacher and his disciples are still out of sight. You can call me by my words."


    Mr. pound sat down and stroked his beard with a smile.


    Liu Xiu respected him, which was Liu Xiu''s courtesy, and it was also a gratifying place for pound.


    However, after the change of Liu Xiu''s identity, pound could not overstep it.


    Pound said: "how about the promotion of academies when the king of Chu entered Yizhou this time?"


    Since Yizhou was brought under Liu Xiu''s command, Yizhou has also set up academies.


    Today''s academy has long been equivalent to the existence of Taixue.


    What pound cared about was the promotion of the Academy.


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "every county has set up academies, and it''s good to do a good job. In the next step, Liu Ba will bring in more barbarians, so that they can also accept the Academy''s teaching and understand the etiquette of poetry and calligraphy. "


    "Good, good, good!" said pound excitedly


    It is a matter of great merit to let the barbarians accept the teaching.


    There are three immortal sayings about morality, meritorious service and speech.


    To establish morality is to establish morality;


    to make contributions is to make contributions;


    to make speech is to make a family''s speech come true.


    It is a moral act to teach the barbarians in the Academy.


    Pound was very happy with the result.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and asked, "did the teacher ever go to see Kong Ming?"


    After Zhuge came back, he was sent to lumen Academy.


    To let Zhuge Liang stay in lumen academy, one is to facilitate supervision, the other is to let Zhuge Liang have something to do.


    Liu Xiu knew Zhuge Liang''s talent.


    If Zhuge Liang is allowed to leave Jingzhou, Liu Xiu will not be able to do it. He will not be able to go back to the mountains.


    If Zhuge Liang is against him again, won''t he ask for trouble?


    Liu Xiu''s willingness to leave Zhuge Liang alive was also based on the fact that Zhuge Liang was in control and would not pose a threat to him.


    Pang Degong sighed and said helplessly: "I''ve met Kong Ming. He''s in a stable mood, but he''s a little depressed. I''ll arrange for him in a few days


    Liu xiudao: "teacher, you can''t wait for him to be in a stable mood to arrange it. You have to arrange it now."


    "What''s the meaning of this?" asked pound


    Liu xiudao: "Kong Ming has been defeated in my hands. Now that Liu Bei is dead, he must feel uncomfortable."


    "At this time, it''s time for Kong Ming to think wildly."


    "If the teacher arranges him to do more things, he will not have the time to think


    Liu Xiu said, "when Kong Ming gets through this time, he will be fine."


    When pound heard this, he felt right.


    At this time Zhuge Liang alone, easy to think.


    Giving him something to do can be a distraction.


    Pang Tong readily adopted: "I''ll arrange for him to teach students in the academy later."


    Liu xiudao: "the teacher bothered."


    Pang Degong sighed and sighed: "in a careful way, Kong Ming is also a disciple of his teacher, but he didn''t formally worship his teacher. He is so depressed and decadent that the teacher is also distressed. But he''s arrogant and doesn''t want to bow to you. "


    Liu Xiu said, "let it be. Don''t force it."


    Pound nodded.


    Liu Xiu has done his utmost to Zhuge Liang.


    Liu Xiu continued: "I remember that Kongming''s eldest sister married Kuai Qi, and her second sister married Shanmin."


    "They are all in Xiangyang, so they can walk more."


    "Besides, he also found a woman for Kong Ming."


    "There will be more things. Slowly, I believe that Kong Ming will change."


    Liu Xiu can think of these things now.


    After Zhuge Liang became an official, he was busy dealing with Liu Bei''s affairs. Up to now, he is still a lonely family. Finding a woman for Zhuge Liang is also something that needs to be arranged.


    Pound is fair: "I will arrange this."


    Liu xiudao: "hard work."


    Pang Degong stroked his beard and said with a smile, "what''s hard, it''s not hard."


    Liu Xiu and Pang Degong talked about things. At noon, Liu Xiu stayed in the college canteen for dinner.


    There is a canteen in lumen Academy.


    All taxis can eat in the canteen.


    Liu Xiu and Pang Degong had dinner in the canteen, looked at the changes of the Academy again, and then left. After leaving the Academy, Liu Xiu returned to the palace and took Huang Yueying with him to visit Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui.


    After a walk, I came back to the palace.


    At the end of the new year, the palace is also very busy.


    Liu Xiu''s life is very leisurely.


    The government affairs were handled by Yi Ji, Kuai Liang and others, and his main energy was still on the army.


    In troubled times, the army is the core.


    If you don''t have enough strength, even if you have the ability to run a country, it''s empty talk.Liu Xiu''s father Liu Biao is an example.


    Liu Biao was good at governing the internal affairs. Under his administration, Jingzhou became the most prosperous and prosperous place in the south. However, Liu Biao was good at governing the internal affairs, but he paid more attention to literature than to martial arts. As a result, although Jingzhou had excellent troops, its combat effectiveness was insufficient.


    If it is a peaceful and prosperous time, Liu Biao can be like a fish in water.


    Unfortunately, in troubled times, without military power, it is a piece of fat in the eyes of others.


    Therefore, Liu Xiu attached great importance to the army.


    Time went by in such a hurry, entering January of 214 A.D.


    In the past year, the state of Chu has gained a lot.


    First, he won Luoyang area;


    Second, he won Nanyang area;


    Third, he severely damaged Cao Cao;


    Fourth, he completely controlled Yizhou


    The development of the state of Chu is vividly remembered and has achieved a lot of benefits.


    Looking back on the past year, Liu Xiu also began to make plans for this year. He called all his counsellors to the hall to discuss this year''s plan.


    Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Yi Ji, Kuai Liang, Yang Jia and others all participated.


    In addition, Pang Degong, Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan were also listed, and Zhang Zhongjing was also involved.


    Pang Degong, Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan represent the Academy.


    Zhang Zhongjing is the representative of the hospital.


    Liu Xiu looked around the crowd and said, "in the past year, the state of Chu has made remarkable achievements in terms of food, talent and army."


    "Now, let''s talk about this year."


    "Tell us what we are going to do this year."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Kuai Liang and said, "starting from Kuai Liang, starting from government affairs."


    Kuai Liang bowed his hand and didn''t look anxious.


    As for the general arrangement for this year, he has already discussed with his subordinates, and he has a draft in his mind.


    Kuai Liang said humbly: "Your Majesty, I will talk about the arrangement of government affairs this year. The focus of this year''s government affairs is still on improving grain production and personnel training. "


    "The state of Chu was in constant war and needed a large amount of grain."


    "Only by producing a large amount of grain can we ensure the next war of Chu."


    "In this year''s plan, a large number of mountains and trees will be opened up in Yizhou to allow more people to reclaim farmland and cultivate land in Yizhou."


    "Last year, the state of Chu won Guanzhong, Nanyang and other places."


    "The expansion speed is very fast. If the talents can''t keep up, it will be difficult to maintain the stability of the occupied areas."


    "The government will select more talents and arrange them to work in local areas."


    Kuai Liang looked calm and continued: "in forging weapons, it will be further strengthened. In addition to food, talents and weapons, there are also arrangements for salt, mines and coins


    Kuai Liang said the plan again.


    Except that he did not involve sending troops to fight, all other aspects were involved.

 Chapter 699

    Liu Xiu listened to Kuai Liang''s explanation and nodded his approval.


    Kuai Liang''s plan covers all aspects.


    It can be seen from this that Kuai Liang has made great efforts. He has already been fully aware of this year''s development and knows when and what to do.


    Liu Xiu asked, "zirou, is there anything else?"


    Kuai Liang said: "report back to the king of Chu, the humble position has been explained. This arrangement was agreed by the minister, the Iraqi Minister and many other officials. "


    Kuai Liang didn''t make the plan alone. He can''t take it for himself.


    Liu Xiu nodded and stopped asking Yi Ji.


    As soon as his eyes turned, Liu Xiu looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, what do you think?"


    Jia Xu, as a strategist in the army, is a military representative.


    After all, the main generals are out of town.


    Jia Xu smoothed his beard under his jaw and said, "I''ll report back to you. I think the goal of this year should be to win Jiangdong."


    As soon as the words came out, everyone looked solemn.


    It''s not easy to win Jiangdong.


    After all, Sun Quan has been running Jiangdong for many years, and he is not a soft persimmon for anyone to handle.


    Jia Xu said: "the day Jiangdong exists, it always restricts the king and Cao Cao to fight a decisive battle. If Jiangdong was pacified as early as one day, the time for the king to rule the country would be shortened if he destroyed the state of Wei. "


    When they heard the words, they all nodded to themselves.


    Jia Xu''s analysis is reasonable. Once Jiangdong exists, it will always be constrained.


    Only by taking Sun Quan of Jiangdong can the threat of Jiangdong be relieved.


    Liu Xiu said: "Wen he''s proposal will be discussed in detail next."


    Attacking Sun Quan is not a trivial matter.


    In Liu Xiu''s view, once the war starts, it is at least a matter of all aspects.


    Our own food, weapons and soldiers are all well managed.


    The most important is the northern Cao Cao.


    What is Cao Cao''s attitude towards Sun Quan? That''s what matters. If Cao Cao intervened, it would not be easy for Liu Xiu to win Jiangdong.


    Liu Xiu restrained his mind, looked at Zhang Zhongjing and said, "Mr. Zhongjing, what''s the plan of the hospital this year?"


    Zhang Zhongjing replied, "tell the king that the hospital has been fully promoted in Jingzhou."


    "Because Yizhou and Jiaozhou are remote, the progress of the hospital is not fast."


    "So this year, the hospital will focus on Yizhou and Jiaozhou, and strive to promote the hospital in these two states."


    Zhang Zhongjing''s eyes are full of expectation.


    As the president of the hospital, he discussed medical skills with famous doctors and made great progress.


    But for the development of the hospital, Zhang Zhongjing thinks it is not enough.


    So Zhang Zhongjing is ready to expand.


    Not only to expand, but also to expand rapidly, completely open the situation of Jiaozhou and Yizhou.


    Liu xiudao: "the expansion of hospitals is a good thing. With more hospitals, there will be fewer swindlers playing witchcraft, and many people will not be cheated by witchcraft doctors. Despite the arrangement, Zhong Jinggong must remember that he must be in control and not out of control. "


    Hospital is a very important link in any era.


    In this era, witch doctors are rampant, and even there are many gods and witches.


    The existence of these people has led to the death of many patients.


    The promotion of the hospital can reduce the existence of shenpo, so that patients can really get treatment.


    Zhang Zhongjing answered with a smile.


    With Liu Xiu''s support, the hospital will expand with all its strength.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes turned to pound again.


    Pound is responsible for the Academy.


    Pound said: "the key point of the academy this year, just like the hospital, is to lay out the key layout in Jiaozhou and Yizhou, and thoroughly deal with these two states."


    Liu Xiu also nodded slightly.


    He discussed with the public and talked about this year''s affairs.


    Everything has been arranged.


    After three days, most of the things were arranged.


    The rest is the use of troops in Jiangdong.


    This is the core of the core.


    Liu Xiu brought back Fazheng, who had been arranged to go to Jiangdong to find out, and called Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Ma Chao, Zhang Ya, and Ma Liang and Ma Su to discuss the use of troops in Jiangdong.


    In the main hall.


    The atmosphere was solemn.


    Liu Xiu looked around the crowd and said, "it''s very important to use troops in Jiangdong this year."


    "To call you back is to discuss this time."


    "Fazheng was lurking in Jiangdong before. Now let Fazheng talk about the situation in Jiangdong."


    Liu Xiu is looking at FA.


    Although the royal guards also inquired about the news of Jiangdong, compared with Fazheng, who is already in Jiangdong, the intelligence is still weaker, and Fazheng has no comprehensive information.Fazheng bowed his hand to Liu Xiuxing first.


    Then, facing the crowd, he saluted and said, "at present, there are three points to pay attention to in Jiangdong."


    "First, Jiangdong is not so weak on the surface."


    "Since the king was the magistrate of Changsha County, he has been fighting with Jiangdong."


    "Every time, the king wins."


    "It can be said that over the years, Jiangdong has always been the defeated party in the war with us. As a result, we will despise Sun Quan and think that Jiangdong is not worth mentioning. "


    "This view is definitely wrong."


    FA Zheng''s eyes twinkled with light and said, "although Jiangdong has failed many times in recent years, it has also killed LV Meng, Zhang Dan and others."


    "But on the whole, the power of Jiangdong has increased."


    "In terms of growth, Jiangdong has brought down Shanyue."


    "In the territory of Jiangdong, there are people from Shanyue who make trouble. From time to time, they will hinder Sun Quan."


    "In order to solve this problem and increase the number of soldiers, Sun Quan has been dealing with the affairs of Shanyue. Up to now, the Shanyue people in Jiangdong are no longer a threat, and they are also a great source of troops in Jiangdong. "


    Fazheng said, "this is the first point. The power of Jiangdong is not weak."


    When they heard the speech, they all nodded.


    All of you are wise people, not shortsighted people.


    They also know the fighting capacity of Jiangdong.


    Through legal analysis, they can judge the situation of both sides.


    Fazheng stopped for a moment and continued: "second, the internal troubles in Jiangdong have been eliminated."


    "Jiangdong''s biggest internal trouble lies in its aristocratic family."


    "Jiangdong Lu family, Zhang family and other aristocratic families, their respective forces, and even a threat to the rule of Sun Quan."


    "However, under Sun Quan''s treatment, the strength of the major families was weakened."


    "Even the Lu family, who had a deep hatred with the sun family in Jiangdong, has been weakened and suppressed by Sun Quan."


    "If there is no internal trouble in Jiangdong, once the war starts, the rear area will be stable, and it will be very difficult to break through from the inside."


    Fazheng raised this point, which also made people awe.


    Because Sun Jian is not from Jiangdong, he is actually an outsider in Jiangdong, and Sun Quan has been patient these years, but has eliminated the internal hidden danger.


    This alone can''t do without enough wrists.


    Liu Xiu also had a dignified face.


    In the past, he once went to Jiangdong to meet his bride. Only with Lu Xun''s help could he escape from Jiangdong smoothly.


    Now, the Lu family has been weakened to this point.


    Liu Xiu looked at Fazheng and said, "Xiaozhi, have you ever met Lu Xun and Lu Ji?"


    Lu Xun and Lu Ji are in charge of the Lu family.


    Fazheng nodded his head and replied, "tell the king back. I sent someone to visit him and talked with Lu Xun. Only Lu Xun mentioned that now the Lu family has been greatly weakened, and its strength is very weak, so it is difficult to help us. "


    Liu Xiu said, "as long as Lu Xun has a heart, that''s enough."


    Fazheng nodded.


    At present, Fazheng continued: "the third point is that everyone in Jiangdong hates the king."


    "In order to unite and unite the people, Sun Quan let his subordinates slander the king and let the people in Jiangdong think that the king is a monster."


    "Because of the war between Jiangdong and Chu over the years, there were many casualties."


    "The families of the dead also resented the state of Chu."


    "A long time of exaggeration and Sun Quan''s guidance made the people in Wu state share a common hatred against the enemy."


    Fazheng said anxiously: "to attack Jiangdong, the hatred of Jiangdong people is also a big problem."

 Chapter 700

    After listening, Liu Xiu nodded slightly.


    Sun Quan is a man with means. He does everything to achieve his goal.


    Liu Xiu was not surprised at such a thing.


    Liu xiudao: "you have been in Jiangdong for a long time. What are your strategies for attacking Jiangdong?"


    Fazheng''s eyes twinkled, and said: "king, I think that if we want to attack Jiangdong, we should unite with Cao Cao in the north. Only when Cao Cao sent troops together can he finish his work in one battle. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to attack Jiangdong. "


    Ma Chao said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao and the king only started war last year. Soon after the end of the war, is Cao Cao willing to send troops together? I''m afraid it''s impossible. "


    Nowadays, Chu and Wei are at war.


    Under such circumstances, it remains to be said whether Cao Cao agrees or not.


    FA Zheng solemnly said: "it''s true that Chu and Wei are at war, but there are only eternal interests between states. If attacking Jiangdong can bring benefits to the state of Wei, Cao Cao will agree. "


    Fazheng''s heart is full of confidence.


    Zhang said: "Cao Cao is a very smart man. The purpose of the king''s attack on Jiangdong can''t be concealed from Cao Cao. Now that Cao Cao knows that the king has destroyed Jiangdong, he will turn around and attack the state of Wei. Why does Cao Cao want to help the king? "


    This question has been echoed by many people.


    Today, the world is divided into three parts, and Wei, Chu and Wu are under one side respectively.


    For the time being, Cao Cao is still the strongest.


    Cao Cao lost Luoyang and Liangzhou, but Cao Cao still had Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places, and his influence was still the largest.


    Although Liu Xiu beat Cao Cao many times, he didn''t hurt Cao Cao''s muscles and bones.


    Under such circumstances, if Liu Xiu wants to break the balance, Cao Cao may not agree.


    Fazheng smile, not impatient way: "General Zhang, and listen to me slowly. Everyone knows that there are three points in the world. "


    "The king has the ambition to end the troubled times, and so does Cao Cao."


    "To put an end to the troubled times, Jiangdong is a difficult problem in the middle."


    "The king wants to destroy Jiangdong, and Cao Cao also wants to destroy Jiangdong."


    "So I think it''s not too difficult to persuade Cao Cao to send troops to attack him."


    FA Zheng speaks with confidence.


    There is a certain truth in this statement, but it has not convinced the public.


    Pang Tong said: "it is a feasible strategy to unite Cao Cao with Xiao Zhi. But we and Cao Cao are bound to engage in intrigue. I''m afraid it will not be easy for both sides to attack the state of Wu. "


    "It was uncertain that Cao Cao suddenly turned around and directly attacked Jingzhou."


    "Especially when they attacked the state of Wu, a large number of troops were sent out, and the strength of Jingzhou was weakened."


    "It has to be prevented."


    Pang Tong thought about the problems of Jingzhou itself, which also needs to be considered.


    How to unite with Cao Cao and ensure the safety of Jingzhou is the top priority.


    Just because we want to attack the state of Wu, we can''t leave Jingzhou alone.


    As soon as FA Zhengda''s sleeve was brushed, he said with emotion: "Mr. Pang''s words are very clear."


    Pang Tong waved his hand and said, "please!"


    At this time, the atmosphere in the hall gradually increased.


    In his eyes, Liu Xiu didn''t stop him.


    When it comes to such arguments, the more arguments they have, the more clear they are. It''s meaningless to interrupt by force. So Liu Xiu doesn''t intend to interrupt. Instead, he hopes Pang Tong and Fazheng can make things clear.


    Fazheng stood up from his seat and said in a loud voice, "if you unite with Cao Cao to attack the state of Wu, Cao Cao may indeed attack Jingzhou."


    "If the king did not have Yizhou, he could not unite with Cao Cao."


    "However, the king has Yizhou and Liangzhou, and he is more in Guanzhong. That''s the strength of the king."


    "Cao Cao was a wise man. He knew that when he attacked Sun Quan, he would only hit Jingzhou seriously. He could not win the state of Chu in one go."


    "In the worst case, the king will not retreat to Yizhou."


    "In this way, it''s only Sun Quan''s gain. What can Cao Cao get? It won''t do much good. "


    "The final result is the true tripartite confrontation."


    Fazheng continued, "the advantage of Cao Cao''s alliance with the king is that after the Wu Kingdom is destroyed, he will fight for the world."


    "Now Cao Cao has the advantage. If he destroys the state of Wu at this time, he can fight against the king with all his strength."


    "At that time, the first world war will determine the fate of the world and determine the ownership of the world."


    "Cao Cao is ambitious and has the ambition to dominate the world. Can he give up such temptation?"


    "No!"


    "Cao Cao will certainly be excited."


    Fazheng said more and more excitedly, and continued: "of course, as commander Pang said, Cao Cao is afraid of Chu, and will certainly plot against Chu."


    "I think that Cao Cao''s attack on the state of Chu will be at the end of the destruction of Wu."


    "Once he won the state of Wu, Cao Cao would turn around and attack the state of Chu.""In fact, we will do the same."


    "When the state of Wu was destroyed, it was natural to turn around and attack the state of Wei directly. At that time, it will be the final decisive battle. "


    Fazheng looked firm and said, "so I think Cao Cao will not send troops to attack Jingzhou before he destroys the state of Wu. Instead, he will cooperate with us sincerely."


    After hearing this, everyone''s expression was quite serious.


    One by one, they are thinking.


    Thinking method is the feasibility of positive analysis.


    It is not a small thing to unite with Cao Cao to attack the state of Wu.


    Jia Xu stroked his beard and said, "Xiaozhi proposed to unite Cao Cao to attack the state of Wu. I also agree with him."


    "The reason is very simple. If we don''t unite with Cao Cao, Sun Quan may unite with Cao Cao."


    "At that time, Cao Cao will still stir it up."


    "It''s better to let Cao Cao join in. In the case of alliance, if Cao Cao makes small moves, we can also respond. It''s better than Cao Cao hiding in the North all the time."


    Jia Xu''s eyes are deep and wise.


    He didn''t analyze how, from another angle.


    Liu Xiu said: "the analysis of Mr. Jia is reasonable."


    FA, with a smile, bowed his hand to Jia Xu to show his respect.


    Jia Xu said: "Xiaozhi, don''t be busy thanking me. I still have a question. How do you think about it?"


    FA Zheng said, "please give me your advice?"


    At this time, Fazheng thought it was Jia Xu''s school.


    Jia Xu said: "we and Cao Cao jointly attacked the state of Wu. Once Cao Cao captured Jiangdong, his power will be stronger, which will be more unfavorable to us."


    When Fazheng heard this, he burst into laughter.


    The question is too simple.


    Fazheng said: "Mr. Jia, the north and the south are different. It''s OK for Cao Cao''s people to control the counties in Jiangdong, but can they hold on? The fighting in the South was different from that in the north, and Cao Cao''s army could not keep it. Even if Cao Cao captured the counties in Jiangdong, it was for us. "


    After hearing this, Jia Xu said with a smile: "it''s a great kindness!"


    Fazheng can take this into consideration. Jia Xu thinks that Fazheng''s proposal is mature.


    Jia Xu looked at Liu Xiu and said, "king, I support FA Xiaozhi."


    With Jia Xu taking the lead, the rest of the people stopped asking and began to support Fazheng''s proposal.


    Liu Xiu fixed his eyes on Fazheng and said, "Xiaozhi, if you want to unite with Cao Cao, you need someone to go to Jizhou. Are you willing to go?"


    Since it is proposed by Fazheng, it is natural for Fazheng to go.


    Fazheng folded his hands and bowed to him for a long time, saying, "I''m willing to go."


    It was Fazheng''s will to go to Jizhou.


    This attack on Jiangdong was a stratagem put forward by him. Naturally, he went to Jizhou. Once he has won Jiangdong, he is the greatest hero.

 Chapter 701

    Under the policy of uniting Cao to attack Wu, Chu''s war machine began to work.


    Grain, weapons, military resources and so on are all operating at a high speed.


    It''s February and early spring.


    At this time, the busy farming began, and the people were busy.


    As the king of Chu, Liu Xiu took Huang Yueying to cultivate in order to encourage farming.


    This is obviously a show.


    Only if the king is like this, the following people will faithfully implement it.


    This is also the monarch of the past dynasties, all from time to time to cultivate, in order to reflect their attention to agriculture and mulberry.


    Although February is busy with farming, it is time for scholars to step on spring.


    Liu Xiu also took Huang Yueying, Shi Xuan, Ma Yunlu, sun Shangxiang and others to lumen mountain.


    Today''s lumen mountain is lush.


    Liu Xiu took people to play in the mountains for a day, and then returned to the palace.


    However, Liu Xiu found that although Huang Yueying continued to laugh, she was full of worries.


    Liu Xiu inquired, but Huang Yueying did not make it clear.


    In the evening, Liu Xiu works in his study.


    Huang Yueying came to Liu Xiu''s study with a bowl of chicken soup: "king, drink the soup."


    Liu Xiu took the chicken soup, drank it and said with a smile, "Yueying, your stew is getting better and better."


    "I''m flattered," said Huang Yueying


    She said a word, but did not leave with a plate, but stay in the study.


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu knew that Huang Yueying had something to say: "during the day, I asked you what happened, but you didn''t say it. Now there is no one. Tell me, what happened? "


    Huang Yueying said, "king, it''s about zhen''er."


    Liu xiudao: "what happened to zhen''er?"


    Liu Zhen, the son of Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying, is always fine. Liu Xiu doesn''t think there is anything wrong with him.


    Huang Yueying''s expression was worried.


    This made Liu Xiu wonder what happened.


    Huang Yueying said: "zhen''er is six years old this year. Although she has been enlightened by her husband all the time, there is no real teacher to teach her. What I want to know is whether the king should find a teacher for zhen''er. "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu said with a smile, "it''s worth worrying about."


    Huang Yueying said: "zhen''er is very naughty. No matter how she teaches, it will be difficult to correct her when she grows up."


    With her son, Huang Yueying is extremely concerned about Liu Zhen''s growth.


    Under Liu Xiu''s knee, Liu Zhen is now the only son. He is a favorite. Such an identity made Liu Zhen a little lawless and uncontrollable.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu said, "zhen''er is not young, but it''s time to find a teacher."


    Huang Yueying said, "does your majesty have any candidates?"


    Liu Xiu asked: "do you have any candidates?"


    Huang Yueying shook her head and said, "I''m a woman. I don''t know who to choose. I''ll ask you to decide."


    Liu Xiu grabbed Huang Yueying''s hand and said with a smile, "Yueying, between you and me, do you still have these empty things? Come on, what do you think? "


    Huang Yueying was caught by Liu Xiu and blushed.


    Although already a woman, but this is after all in the study.


    I''m not used to being held by Liu Xiu.


    Huang Yueying said: "Pang Gongcai is outstanding in learning. Let him teach zhen''er."


    Liu xiudao: "not right!"


    Although Pang Degong can be competent, he is Liu Xiu''s teacher in identity, which is a tribute to his teacher. If Liu Zhen is allowed to defeat pound as a teacher again, it will be hard to say.


    The candidate Huang Yueying thought of was denied, and she didn''t know what to do.


    Huang Chengyan is suitable, but Huang Chengyan is Liu Zhen''s grandfather.


    Let Huang Chengyan as Liu Zhen''s teacher, on the one hand, the status is not appropriate, on the other hand, Huang Chengyan certainly dotes on Liu Zhen.


    At that time, children will not be able to teach well.


    Huang Yueying said, "what''s your choice?"


    Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "I''m afraid Sima Hui is the most suitable person in Jingzhou."


    Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "is Mr. Sima suitable?"


    Liu xiudao: "what''s wrong?"


    Huang Yueying replied: "Mr. Sima says everything well. He laughs all the time, but he doesn''t have a right line. Can he teach zhen''er? "


    Sima Hui is a good man in Huang Yueying''s eyes.


    For such a person, Huang Yueying is suspicious.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "if you only see the kind side of Mr. Sima, you are wrong."


    "Mr. Ma Yingchuan was the head of the Academy."


    "The talents from Yingchuan academy include Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Chen Qun and others."


    "Which of these people is not a famous talent.""But in order to avoid the war, Mr. Sima didn''t accept any more apprentices when he arrived in Xiangyang. In addition, there are teachers in charge of lumen academy, so Mr. Sima seldom interferes, and almost all of them go sightseeing. "


    Liu Xiu affirmed: "in terms of teaching and educating people, Mr. Sima is no less than anyone."


    After hearing this, Huang Yueying was quite surprised: "really?"


    Liu xiudao: "of course it''s true."


    Huang Yueying said: "in that case, let zhen''er worship Mr. Sima as his teacher."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "it depends on the opinions of Mr. Sima."


    Huang Yueying turned her lips and hummed: "if he doesn''t want to, let Pang Gong and his father talk. Pang Gong is the king''s teacher, and his father is Zhen er''s grandfather. If they say something, Mr. Sima can refuse. "


    Liu Xiu stretched out his hand to scrape Huang Yueying''s nose and said with a smile, "you are so willful."


    Huang Yueying said with a smile, "I''m all for zhen''er."


    Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "since we have to choose a teacher for zhen''er, we can''t just limit ourselves to reading. We have to keep up with the practice of martial arts."


    On hearing this, Huang Yueying hurriedly said, "king, is zhen''er going to practice martial arts at such a young age?"


    Huang Yueying is not very supportive of practicing martial arts.


    It''s too hard to practice martial arts.


    It''s not for your son.


    Liu Xiu looked at the nervous Huang Yueying and said: "let zhen''er practice martial arts since childhood, not to let him have high martial arts, but to cultivate his indomitable spirit by practicing martial arts."


    Huang Yueying asked, "who is the king going to teach zhen''er?"


    Liu xiudao: "let Huang Hu teach martial arts."


    On hearing this, Huang Yueying immediately shook her head: "Huang Hu, that big fool, knows how to swing a sledgehammer all day. It''s definitely not appropriate for zhen''er to follow him. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "how do you know it''s not suitable?"


    "Huang Yueying said:" yellow tiger five big three thick, can be appropriate


    Liu xiudao: "isn''t that the way of martial arts?"


    Huang Yueying''s eyes turned and said, "how about Shangxiang teaching martial arts?"


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "impossible!"


    Let Sun Shangxiang teach martial arts, this can not achieve any effect. Not to mention the effect of sun Shangxiang''s teaching martial arts, it is impossible to really train Liu Zhen just because of sun Shangxiang''s identity.


    Seeing that Huang Yueying still wanted to talk, Liu Xiu waved and said, "it''s settled. Tomorrow I''ll take zhen''er to see Mr. Sima, and then I''ll go to find Huang Hu."


    "Here it is


    When Huang Yueying saw Liu xiutie''s heart, she knew it was useless to persuade him again.

 Chapter 702

    The next day, early in the morning.


    Liu Xiu and Liu Zhen left the palace of King Chu and went to lumen Academy.


    Liu Yuexiu didn''t take him to the meeting.


    On such a formal occasion, although Huang Yueying is a princess, she is not suitable to appear.


    When the carriage arrived at the Academy, it did not disturb the people of the academy and entered directly.


    Liu Xiu first went to pound''s room and met pound.


    Liu Xiu saluted pound first, and then patted Liu Zhen on the shoulder. Liu Zhen also saluted honestly.


    Pound said: "what''s the matter with you and your son?"


    Liu xiudao: "teacher, it''s time for zhen''er to officially study. I brought him here in the hope that zhen''er would become a teacher of Sima. "


    After listening, Pound''s eyes were shining.


    According to the seniority, Liu Zhen is his apprentice and grandson, and Liu Zhen worships Sima Hui as his teacher. Isn''t he a generation higher than Sima Hui?


    You can make fun of Sima Hui.


    Of course, it was just a private joke between pound and Sima Hui.


    Such a thing cannot be taken seriously.


    Pang said with a smile, "I agree that zhen''er is a teacher of virtue."


    Liu Xiu said: "with the support of teachers, things will be easier. Teacher, is Mr. Sima in the academy? "


    Mr. pound replied, "if you are in the Academy, I will arrange for him to come."


    Immediately, Lord pound sent someone to inform him.


    After a while, Sima Hui came in wearing a blue robe.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "Mr. Sima!"


    Sima Huilian said, "I''ve met the king of Chu."


    After sitting down, Sima Hui looked at Pang Degong and said, "Pang Gong, what can I do for you?"


    Pound is just: "it''s the king of Chu who is looking for you."


    Sima Hui looked at Liu Xiu, and his eyes fell on Liu Zhen.


    While thinking, Sima Hui had some ideas in his mind.


    Liu Xiuse said: "this time I come to see Mr. Sima, I want you to be a teacher and ask you to preach for zhen''er."


    The words refer to the worship of teachers.


    There is a big difference between paying homage to teachers and giving lectures.


    If Liu Xiu asked Sima Hui to give a lecture for Liu Zhen, he would be a teacher, but only with this.


    It''s different to learn from teachers.


    Once he became a teacher, Liu Xiu had to treat Sima Hui as his father.


    One day as a teacher, one life as a father, that''s the reason.


    At the moment, Sima Hui is also thinking about it.


    He looked at Liu Xiu and then at Liu Zhen.


    As a person who watched Liu Xiu grow up, Sima Hui understood Liu Xiu''s ambition and the general situation of Liu Xiu. He had the qualification to compete in the world and the opportunity to dominate the world.


    Liu xiuxi, so far only Liu Zhen a son.


    In the future, Liu Xiu may have other sons.


    But there is a big age difference between the next son and Liu Zhen.


    This gap is enough to stabilize Liu Zhen''s position.


    Liu Zhen is now the son of the world. He may be the prince or even the emperor in the future.


    Sima Hui soon clarified the key point. With a smile, he said, "king of Chu, I''m afraid I can''t be a great man because I''m just plain and shallow. There are many great Confucians in Jingzhou, especially among the academies. You don''t have to be a master to choose any of them. "


    Although Sima Hui has been moved, he is still a symbol of self modesty.


    Liu Zhen stared at Sima Hui, blinking.


    Liu Xiu said: "Mr. Sima is too modest. Who doesn''t know that Yingchuan academy founded by Mr. Sima has cultivated countless talents."


    "Guo Jia came from Yingchuan academy, so did Xi Zhicai and Xun you."


    "Private schools in each state, only Yingchuan Academy in the north and lumen Academy in the south."


    "As the head of Yingchuan academy, Mr. Sima has his own ability of preaching and teaching."


    "What''s more, who knows, sir? No one knows. "


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Pang Degong and said, "if you are a little more arrogant, Pang Degong, Wang''s teacher, is famous in Jingzhou. Can people with him make ordinary people


    Pound laughed, but did not interrupt.


    Finally, it depends on Sima Hui''s own decision. He hopes that Sima Hui will take over the matter.


    In any case, it''s a good thing.


    Sima Hui''s face was full of thought, but he still didn''t make a statement.


    Sima Hui has his own skills in preaching and teaching.


    Sima Hui is absolutely confident in this respect.


    Liu Xiu continued: "Mr. Sima, zhen''er is my son, but he is the future successor of Chu. Whether he is wise or not decides the future of Chu. "


    "I''m not sure about the other great scholars in the Academy."


    "Only sir, I can rest assured."


    "Mr. Sima, what I give you is not only my son, but also the future of Chu."Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "Mr. Sima, please accept the dog."


    For the sake of Liu Zhen, Liu Xiu is also out of the question.


    Sima Hui is a talented person, only Sima Hui, Liu Xiu can rest assured.


    Liu Zhen is also a smart child. After listening to Liu Xiu''s words, he went forward and knelt down on the ground and said, "Sir, although zhen''er is naughty, he will be obedient. Please accept him as an apprentice."


    After that, he put his hands on the ground and knocked on the ground with his head, very seriously.


    Liu Xiu couldn''t help smiling when he saw it.


    He didn''t teach Liu Zhen how to do it, but the boy could kneel down to worship his teacher himself, which really surprised Liu Xiu.


    Sima Hui was no longer reserved and said, "get up, I''ll take you.


    Liu Xiu was relieved when he heard the speech.


    Liu Zhen didn''t get up. After raising his head, he saluted Sima Hui and said, "disciple Liu Zhen, I''d like to see you."


    Sima Hui nodded: "good boy, get up quickly!"


    Liu Zhen stood up and stood aside.


    Liu Xiu said, "Mr. Sima, I''ll arrange for zhen''er to visit his teacher in the palace. What do you think?"


    Sima Hui shook his head and said, "no, it''s not necessary."


    He didn''t care much about the ceremony.


    If Liu Zhen really respects him, no form matters. If Liu Zhen is stubborn and unable to teach him, even if he does the teacher worship ceremony, it will not be of any use.


    Liu Xiu tried again, but Sima Hui refused.


    Finally, Liu Xiu stopped persuading him. He also told Liu Zhen to learn martial arts from Huang Hu, and Sima Hui readily agreed.


    Practice martial arts to strengthen the body and sharpen the will.


    This is OK.


    Liu Xiu and Sima Hui discussed the arrangement of teaching. Liu Xiu planned to let Liu Zhen go to lumen academy to find Sima Hui, but Sima Hui decided to go to the palace to teach. After all, Liu Zhen was too young.


    The route out of the government is fixed.


    Once being targeted by someone with a heart, it''s easy to go wrong.


    When the matter is settled, Liu Xiu leaves with Liu Zhen and goes back to prepare for Liu Zhen''s study.


    Back at the palace, Liu Xiu tells Huang Yueying the news and asks Huang Yueying to prepare.


    Then Liu Xiu called Huang Hu.


    Liu Xiu didn''t go around the Bush and let Huang Hu teach Liu Zhen to practice martial arts. After hearing this, Huang Hu rejected Liu Xiu''s proposal. Huang Hu himself is a big man, let him teach Liu Zhen, he is afraid to teach well.


    Seeing that Huang Hu didn''t agree, Liu Xiu gave a death order to let Huang Hu treat Liu Zhen as a soldier.


    Huang Hu had no choice but to agree.


    After he left the palace, Huang Hu had an idea about how to teach Liu Zhen to practice martial arts. Liu Xiu said that he should treat Liu Zhen as an ordinary soldier, but this is the son of the world after all.


    After training hard, several women in King Chu''s mansion couldn''t spare him.


    In the end, Huang Hu didn''t think of a reason.


    He didn''t want to go any further. He would think about it when he taught martial arts.

 Chapter 703

    Fazheng went north with his mission. When he left Xiangyang, he entered Nanyang.


    Arriving at the junction of Yuzhou and Nanyang, Fazheng arrived at Zhang Ren''s barracks.


    Zhang Rende knew that Fazheng was going north and wanted to send troops to escort him, but Fazheng refused.


    This time, he was an envoy of the state of Chu.


    He went to the state of Wei as an envoy. Even if the people of the state of Wei wanted to kill him, they would not fight him.


    FA Zhengyi entered Yuzhou and was soon discovered by the Wei government.


    He reported his identity and purpose, which was released by the Wei government, but the news had already been sent back to Yecheng.


    The news reached Yecheng at the end of March.


    After receiving the news, Cao Pi did not dare to hide it and went directly to see Cao Cao.


    In the study.


    Cao Pi saluted and said, "my son has seen my father."


    Cao Cao put down his pen, looked up at Cao Pi and said, "what''s the matter?"


    Today, Cao Cao has almost recovered.


    However, Cao Cao did not take over the power, and his daily affairs were still handed over to Cao Pi.


    Cao Cao holds only military power.


    Cao Pi respectfully said: "father, just received the news, Chu envoy Fazheng, is heading for Yecheng."


    Cao Cao said, "what will the other party do?"


    At the moment, Cao Cao was a little curious.


    Cao Pi replied, "it is said that he came to make an alliance with his father."


    "Alliance?"


    Cao Cao''s eyes coagulated and his face was filled with emotion.


    He and Liu Xiu fought each other to death last year. Now Liu Xiu has sent envoys to Yecheng on his own initiative.


    That''s interesting.


    From this level, we can see that Liu Xiu is a mature opponent.


    Don''t cling to past hatred.


    For the sake of interests, to be able to put down face.


    Yuan Shao, Cao Cao''s former opponent, was a very proud and conceited man. It would be impossible to let Yuan Shao bow his head, but Liu Xiu was different.


    Liu Xiu is cunning, more flexible, and a great enemy of Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao asked, "what is Liu Xiu''s Alliance for?"


    Cao Pi shook his head and said, "I don''t know for the moment!"


    Cao Pi didn''t quite agree with Liu Xiu''s alliance.


    The state of Wei and the state of Chu have long been enemies of life and death.


    In particular, Liu Xiu poached Jia Xu and killed Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan, which resulted in the successive defeats of the state of Wei


    A series of hatred, both sides have long been hostile.


    Liu Xiu made an alliance at this time. Cao Pi really wanted to send someone to kill Fazheng and teach Liu Xiu a lesson.


    Cao Cao looked up and saw Cao Pi''s look. He asked, "pi''er, what do you think of Liu Xiu''s sending someone to form an alliance?"


    Cao Pi said directly: "my son thinks it''s not right!"


    Cao Cao said, "why?"


    As soon as this remark came out, Cao Pi thought about it.


    Although he was listed as the son of the king of Wei, he was not the only brother competing with him.


    Therefore, Cao Pi had to be careful in his words and deeds.


    Even if he does not agree with the alliance, there must be a proper reason.


    Cao Pi said: "there are two reasons why children''s ministers do not agree with the alliance."


    Cao Cao nodded slightly and motioned Cao Pi to continue.


    Cao Pi explained: "first, what about the alliance between Wei and Chu? The state of Wu in Jiangdong was isolated, so Liu Xiu could only be saved. At that time, Liu Xiu''s taking over the state of Wu will be extremely disadvantageous to us. "


    "To unite with the state of Chu and abandon the state of Wu, my son thinks it is to buy a pearl."


    "The state of Wu is our ally, and the state of Chu is our enemy."


    Cao Pi talked with great eloquence and gave his first reason.


    This reason is business.


    This is from the perspective of Wei.


    "What about the second?" Cao Cao asked


    Cao Pi replied: "second, the whole state of Wei was hostile to Chu. Both of them died at the hands of Liu Xiu. Jia Xu and Zhang Yan were persuaded to surrender by Liu Xiu. Wei and Chu in our country, there is hatred. If you ally with Chu, don''t you beat yourself in the face? "


    After listening, Cao Cao nodded.


    Cao Pi''s analysis is reasonable.


    It can be seen that Cao Pi used his heart.


    Among his sons, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang are the main ones.


    However, Cao Zhi is partial to Literature and more willful.


    Cao Zhang, on the other hand, was military minded and not interested in government affairs.


    We can fight the world at once, but we can''t govern the world at once.


    All in all, Cao Pi is the most suitable.


    Moreover, Cao Pi also had his own views and certain political opinions.


    Cao Cao thought about it and asked, "is that all?"


    On hearing this, Cao Pi choked.


    He thought, isn''t father satisfied?


    Cao Pi''s brain is running fast, but he can think about it. For a while, he can''t think of any other problems.Finally, Cao Pi shook his head.


    He could not figure out what Cao Cao thought, and could not think of any other problems.


    Cao Cao didn''t give any advice. He said directly: "Liu Xiu sent someone to make an alliance and send orders to go on. There is no way to stop him along the way. What''s more, he should protect Fazheng and let him arrive safely. If there is any obstruction, kill it! "


    Hiss!


    After listening, Cao Pi took a cool breath in his heart.


    Listen to what Cao Cao means, is he planning to ally with the state of Chu?


    Cao Pi suddenly regretted that he had known that Cao Cao was thinking this way, so he was not in a hurry to put forward his own ideas.


    This time, it is totally contrary to Cao Cao''s opinion.


    Cao Pi''s heart was dripping blood, but his face didn''t reveal anything. He respectfully said, "son, I''ll arrange it now."


    Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "step back!"


    "Here it is


    Cao Pi left respectfully.


    He left the palace of King Wei and soon returned to his residence.


    Cao Pi was very decisive in his work, and he was also a man of vigorous and resolute conduct. As soon as he returned to shizifu, he passed on Cao Cao''s order and let the people below carry it out.


    It was only Cao Cao''s intention that Cao Pi was not clear after thinking about it.


    Finally, Cao Pi changed his coat and left shizifu.


    After leaving the house, he went to the East Street of Yecheng.


    The East Street of Yecheng is not a place where dignitaries gather, but many officials of the court are here.


    Cao Pi''s carriage stopped outside a mansion. After getting out of the carriage, he went straight to the mansion. And the attendants at the gate did not stop Cao Pi.


    Obviously, Cao Pi is a frequent visitor.


    Cao Pi went around the front hall, through the corridor and straight to the backyard.


    In the backyard, there is a pond.


    At the edge of the pond, a middle-aged man, 30 years away, was fishing.


    His surname is Sima, his name is Yi, and his name is Zhongda.


    Today, Sima Yi holds a post in the palace of King Wei and serves as the long history of Cao Cao.


    Sima Yi was dressed in a black robe. She was very beautiful, but her eyes were long and narrow, with a touch of gloom.


    Cao Pi came to Sima Yi and said, "sir!"


    After the ceremony, Cao Pi ignored Sima Yi and sat down beside him.


    Sima Yi squinted at Cao Pi and asked, "how can I come here today when I''m free?"


    Cao Pi was distressed and said, "I''ve come to consult you."


    He has a great respect for Sima Yi. On the one hand, Sima Yi is talented. On the other hand, Sima Yi once helped him to speak when he was the emperor.


    To a certain extent, Sima Yi is his man and his brain trust.


    Sima Yi said, "say it!"


    Cao Pi said directly: "today I received news that Chu sent envoy Fazheng to Yecheng to make alliance with Wei."


    "My father asked me for advice, and I said it was not suitable for the league."


    "I list two reasons. One is that the alliance with the state of Chu will abandon Sun Quan. The other is that there is a deep hatred between the state of Wei and the state of Chu, and the people below will not agree."


    "But after listening, my father did not express his opinion."


    Cao Pi''s expression was a little uneasy, and he said: "my father directly asked me to send an order to allow Fazheng to enter Yecheng, and even ordered me to kill those who were blocked along the way. I can''t guess if my father doesn''t understand. What do you mean, father? "

 Chapter 704

    After hearing this, Sima Yi looked at Cao Pi again.


    This action made Cao Pi feel uneasy.


    For his position as a son of the world, Cao Pi was very important.


    If his elder brother Cao ang is still alive, Cao Pi has no chance to fight for it, because the gap between the two sides is too big.


    Now, however, he is the son of the world.


    There are several younger brothers under him, which can threaten him.


    Cao Pi urgent way: "Sir, I was wrong?"


    Sima Yi chuckled two times and said, "why is Shizi so insecure?"


    Cao Pi said bitterly: "in front of my father, how many people can be confident?"


    Sima Yi agreed.


    In Sima Yi''s view, Cao Cao is not only intelligent, but also shameless. He is a man with thick face and black heart. The next person who is willing to give up is a person with outstanding intelligence and terrible face.


    Before Sima Yi became an official, he used illness to evade Cao Cao''s solicitation.


    Later, Cao Cao directly forced the conquest.


    Sima Yi had no choice but to become an official because she was more afraid of Cao Cao.


    Even if Sima Yi faced Cao Cao, he was also careful, for fear that he might say something wrong in front of Cao Cao.


    Sima Yi said, "I really don''t understand the meaning of the king of Wei."


    Cao Pi said, "no!"


    If he thinks clearly, why should he come to Sima Yi?


    Cao Pi continued: "Sir, don''t show off. Tell me quickly. How does father think about it?"


    Sima Yi said, "don''t worry. Come one by one."


    Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi and waited for his explanation.


    Sima Yi said, "first of all, the answer of Shizi is wrong, but it''s also right."


    Cao Pi said, "why?"


    Sima Yi said: "wrong, it''s because Shizi''s idea really runs counter to the king of Wei."


    When Cao Pi heard this, he felt cool.


    Sure enough, he shouldn''t be in a hurry to express his position. Instead, he put himself in a dilemma.


    Sima Yi continued: "the reason that Shizi is right is that he dares to express his own ideas and has his own views. Although Shizi is not necessarily right, it is enough to have his own judgment. "


    "Shizi is the son of a country. If he is submissive and does not advocate, it is a fatal defect."


    "But Shizi''s inexperience can make up for it."


    "On the one hand, Shizi can continue to study hard and enhance his own experience; on the other hand, Shizi is not alone, and his staff give advice. All these are enough to solve Shizi''s problems."


    "So I''m right. Because Shizi dares to say what he thinks. "


    "Of course, it''s not enough to dare to say."


    Sima Yi said, "although Shizi''s view is wrong, it also has a certain truth. It''s not presumptuous to think that he should not ally with Chu."


    "In a word, Shizi should dare to say it, but he must have reasons."


    "At least, you have to convince yourself of Shizi''s point of view."


    "You can''t even convince yourself. How can you convince others?"


    Sima Yi made an analysis and said, "Shizi is the son of the state of Wei. He should have self-confidence. Now, does the son understand? "


    Cao Pi frowned and said, "I don''t understand."


    Sima Yi said: "simply speaking, Shizi only needs to go according to his heart. Don''t be submissive, don''t listen to the wind is the rain, have your own views. The king of Wei is a very independent person. He doesn''t want his son to have no idea. "


    Cao Pi nodded and said, "I understand!"


    At this time, Cao Pi was clear.


    In short, he has to be able to make his own point.


    It can''t be for the sake of opposition.


    Cao Pi asked again, "Sir, what does the father think?


    Sima Yi said: "in fact, this problem is the simplest."


    "Ah


    When Cao Pi heard this, he was shocked and even more unbelievable.


    Is this the simplest?


    Do you have any?


    Anyway, Cao Pi was also the son of the state of Wei and had some wisdom.


    Why didn''t he see through?


    Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi with an expression that you don''t want to deceive me.


    Sima Yi was not impatient and explained: "Shizi, the reason why it is simple is that the king of Wei viewed the problem from the perspective of the whole Wei state."


    "Ah


    Cao Pi exclaimed, and suddenly he understood.


    Sima Yi''s words awakened Cao Pi.


    Sima Yi said in secret that Cao Pi had a good understanding and asked, "have you thought about it clearly?"


    Cao Pi stood up from the ground. He walked back and forth excitedly and said, "Sir, my father is thinking about the overall interests."


    "If it is beneficial to the state of Wei, it can be adopted.""Fazheng represents Liu Xiu to form an alliance. If it is beneficial to the state of Wei, his father will agree to form an alliance."


    "As the saying goes, the right of the two evils is the least, and the right of the two benefits is the most important."


    "If it''s more beneficial to form an alliance with Liu Xiu, it''s nothing to abandon Wu."


    Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi and asked, "is that so, sir?"


    Sima Yi said, "it''s true."


    There was a smile on Cao Pi''s face. Unfortunately, there was a touch of bitterness.


    How did he think of it now?


    When Chu sent people to form an alliance, they should at least see what conditions Chu put forward and what benefits Wei could obtain before considering whether to form an alliance.


    It is necessary to compare the benefits gained by the alliance with Chu state and the benefits gained by the alliance with Wu state.


    Cao Pi said: "Alas, I''m so stupid. How can I think of it now?"


    Sima Yi said with a smile: "Shizi is a fan of the game. He didn''t see through the essence of this matter. In other words, the first son is the main one. Next time you come across something, think calmly before you make a decision. "


    Cao Pi arched his hand and said, "thank you, sir."


    Sima Yi said: "in fact, the king of Wei should have another consideration."


    Cao Pi eyebrows a pick, showing an unexpected expression, his father and king there is a layer of consideration?


    Why so many?


    Cao Pi swallowed his saliva and asked, "Sir, what''s another important consideration of my father?"


    Sima Yi said: "Liu Xiu of the state of Chu proposed to form an alliance. I''m sure Liu Xiu will attack Sun Quan. The state of Chu attacked the state of Wu, and the state of Wei also attacked the state of Wu. If the two powers sent troops, the state of Wu would be destroyed. "


    Cao Pi didn''t know why, so he said, "what''s the good for us if the state of Wu is destroyed?"


    Sima Yi explained, "destroy Wu, and then Chu."


    In Cao Pi''s eyes, there was a light in his eyes. It was what he expected to destroy the state of Chu, but Liu Xiu was so powerful that it was not easy to destroy the state of Chu.


    Sima Yi said: "to a certain extent, Liu Xiu''s alliance with us in attacking the state of Wu is an open and upright conspiracy. After the destruction of Wu, Liu Xiu wanted to attack the state of Wei, and the king of Wei also wanted to attack the state of Chu. "


    "Neither Liu Xiu nor the king of Wei is willing to split the world."


    "Both of them have the ambition to dominate the world."


    "And it''s possible for both sides."


    "The king of Wei is still strong in Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Yuzhou. At this time, he had the power to destroy the state of Chu, so the king of Wei would not refuse. "


    Sima Yi said: "it is inevitable that Liu Xiu and the king of Wei will fight again after the alliance."


    Cao Pi took a deep breath and looked frightened.


    It turns out that there are so many twists and turns.


    At this time, Cao Pi finally understood.


    Cao Pi said: "thank you for your explanation. PI knows what to do next. Goodbye, sir


    Sima Yi nodded slightly, watched Cao Pi leave, and then continued fishing.

 Chapter 705

    In April, Fazheng finally arrived in Yecheng.


    FA was staying in the post house, so he handed in a letter to meet Cao Cao, and then waited for Cao Cao to summon him.


    This time, Fazheng has made full preparations.


    Along the way, every night after staying in the shop, he was thinking about how to persuade Cao Cao and how to make the state of Chu get the most benefits.


    He knew everything well.


    On this day, France is going through the materials.


    The information he read was about the officials under Cao Cao.


    Such as Xun Yu, Xun you, Cheng Yu and others, there are detailed records in the data.


    France is about to unite and is likely to meet these people, so he made a full attack ahead of time to avoid being caught off guard.


    "Dong! Dong


    Knock on the door, outside the room.


    Fazheng got up, opened the door and saw the attendant who followed him.


    "Your honor, I have news from the palace of the king of Wei. The king of Wei will meet you in the palace at midnight tomorrow morning," the valet reported


    Fazheng said, "I know!"


    The attendant stepped down, and Fazheng closed the door again.


    Cao Cao is going to meet him. The most critical time is coming.


    This time, Fazheng also wanted to see what Cao Cao was like. At the beginning, Cao Cao and Liu Xiu fought in Nanyang. Cao Cao had a headache, and he was on the verge of death.


    Under Hua Tuo''s treatment, Cao Cao recovered to that degree, which was also concerned by FA Zheng.


    If Cao Cao died, the strength of Wei state would decline.


    When Cao Cao was in the state of Wei, there was the God of the sea.


    Cao Cao''s life and death is related to the overall strength of Wei state, so FA Zheng is eager to know Cao Cao''s situation.


    He soon regained his mind and continued to look up the information.


    A day is fleeting.


    On this day, in the morning.


    Fazheng got up early to wash his clothes. After eating the rebellion, he changed his clothes and went out with the attendant.


    Fazheng''s appearance is not bad, he put on the Royal dress, more elegant temperament.


    The carriage stopped outside the palace of the king of Wei.


    Fazheng got out of the carriage and came to the door. Please let the porter know.


    The porter went to report and came back soon, but he only told Fazheng that Cao Cao was meeting a distinguished guest. He couldn''t see Fazheng for the time being. He asked Fazheng to wait for a while.


    When Fazheng heard this, he was furious.


    Cao Cao is deliberately hanging him.


    This is the downfall!


    Fazheng did not leave, but waited without expression.


    He knew that it was Cao Cao''s downfall, but he could not leave willfully. Because Cao Cao said, Cao Cao is meeting with a distinguished guest. Cao Cao has given reasons, but Fazheng can only wait.


    A quarter of an hour, in a hurry.


    The sun in April is warm.


    Fazheng stood at the gate of the palace of Wei, but never entered the palace.


    By this alone, Fazheng knew that Cao Cao was intentional.


    The visitor is the guest, Cao Cao is hanging him, this is not the downfall, what is it?


    Another quarter of an hour later, a servant came in a hurry and said, "Fazheng, the king is waiting for you in the hall. Follow me."


    After that, the attendant turned and left.


    Fazheng kept up with him, but his anger had already accumulated in his heart.


    Cao Cao left him outside the house for two quarters of an hour, but Fazheng couldn''t bear the loss.


    At the gate of the main hall, the attendant waved his hand to indicate that FA Zheng was entering.


    Fazheng shakes his robe and strides in.


    In the main hall, Cao Cao sits high above, while Cao Pi sits first on the left. Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun you, Xu Chu, Cao Zhen and others are all on the left and right sides.


    A pair of eyes fell on Fazheng.


    Everyone is looking at Fazheng.


    This kind of attention forms an invisible pressure on Fazheng.


    However, Fazheng is not affected at all.


    Fazheng walked calmly, with a self-contained manner, without a trace of fear.


    As an envoy of the state of Chu, if he didn''t even have this kind of bearing, why did he come as an envoy?


    Walking to the center of the hall, Fazheng nodded slightly and said, "Fazheng, envoy of the state of Chu, meet the king of Wei."


    Said to see you, but Fazheng just nodded.


    When Cao Cao saw this scene, he frowned slightly, and the method in front of him was a little rude. Since he received the news that Fazheng was coming to Yecheng, he sent people to collect Fazheng''s information.


    Fazheng, a man of Fufeng, once worked for Liu Zhang.


    In the process of Liu Xiu''s entering Sichuan, Fazheng played a great role.


    Besides, Cao Cao didn''t get much information.


    Before Cao Cao opened his mouth, Cheng Yu couldn''t see it any more. He stroked his long beard under his jaw and said in a deep voice: "bold Fazheng, when you see my king, you don''t kneel down to salute."


    FA Zheng squinted and said, "are you Cheng Yu?"Cheng Yu said, "it''s me


    Fazheng tut tut twice, said: "the king of Wei is rude, and the officials of Wei are arrogant. They are really a bunch of rude people. Since I''m a rude person, why should I salute you? "


    An open mouth is amazing.


    Fazheng''s words made Cao Cao and all his subordinates scold him.


    They glared at each other.


    Looking at Fazheng''s eyes, they all have a strong intention to kill.


    If his eyes were enough to kill, Fazheng would have died countless times.


    Under the gaze of the crowd, Fazheng looked calm and stood in the hall with his head raised.


    Cao Cao said, "Fazheng, when I saw you, I thought of Liu Xiu, who was sent to Xuchang in the past. In the past, when he went to Xuchang, he was so arrogant in front of the king. If there was a lord, there would be a minister. "


    FA Zheng said with a smile, "the king of Wei has praised me falsely."


    Cao Cao said: "I don''t like people who make mysteries. You say I''m rude and my officials are arrogant. I want to hear it. Why do you say that? If you can''t tell the reason, I will never be lightly enchanting. Even if I don''t kill you, I''ll break your legs. "


    The cold feeling came from Cao Cao.


    In a flash, a great pressure came from Cao Cao.


    FA Zheng was not impatient and said, "the king of Wei wants to know. I''ll help him. I think there are three reasons why the king of Wei was rude. "


    Cao Cao said, "I''m all ears!"


    Cao Cao didn''t know much about Fazheng.


    Now contact with Fazheng is an opportunity to understand the situation of Fazheng.


    Fazheng said: "yesterday, the king of Wei sent a messenger to say that he would meet me at midnight this morning. However, the time has passed, but the king of Wei has broken his promise. This is one of his rudeness. "


    Cheng Yu snorted: "my king has something important to deal with. It''s excusable to ask you to wait a moment."


    Fazheng disdained to say: "the king of Wei set the time yesterday. This is a matter of great importance between Chu and Wei. What else is more important than the matter between the two countries?"


    Cheng Yu wants to talk, but Cao Cao waves his hand to stop him.


    Fazheng continued: "the king of Wei has special circumstances that need to be dealt with immediately. It''s understandable. After all, people have three emergencies, and the king of Wei also has emergencies."


    "But knowing that I have arrived at the palace, I have to wait at the gate instead of leading into the side hall."


    "I''m standing at the door and being looked at by people coming and going."


    "It''s a small matter to be treated as a monkey, but it''s the king of Wei who loses face."


    Fazheng looked calm and said: "from this incident, we can see that the king of Wei was too bad. It''s rude two. "


    Cao Cao''s eyes narrowed, showing a look of fear.


    He was going to give Fazheng a challenge, but Fazheng started to fight back.


    Besides, it''s quite sharp.


    Fazheng continued: "third, everyone in the world knows that the king of Wei is wise and powerful. My king and I talked about the king of Wei. We also said that the enemy in the world only attached importance to the king of Wei. "


    "However, such a wise man gave me a slap in the face and asked me to stand at the gate of the palace."


    "If I think about it, will the king of Wei be so shrewd that he doesn''t understand etiquette? Don''t you know how to let me go down to the side hall? "


    "No!"


    "The king of Wei didn''t know. He pretended not to know."


    "Wei Wang Ming knows, but deliberately let me wait outside the door, if for me."


    Fazheng''s eyes were shining, and he said: "the visitors are guests, not to mention the envoys of the state of Chu. However, the king of Wei insisted on the next step, which was not the way of hospitality. It''s the third of rudeness. "


    Everyone''s face changed slightly when they heard the words.


    Fazheng made it clear that there was no room for debate.


    After hearing this, Cao Cao burst out laughing and said, "good, good, good Fazheng. He is worthy of being Liu Xiu''s man."

 Chapter 706

    FA Zhengdao: "thanks for the praise of the king of Wei, I''m ashamed."


    Cao Cao said: "you don''t dare, who dare?"


    He was going to give Fazheng a bad impression. Unexpectedly, Fazheng had such courage.


    FA Zhengdao said: "so, did the king of Wei admit his rudeness?"


    Cao Cao said, "the king admits it."


    Fazheng continued: "so, with the arrogance of Wei officials, does the king of Wei also admit it?"


    Cao Cao said, "I also admit it."


    FA Zheng''s eyebrows picked, and his eyes showed an unexpected look.


    When Cao Cao did not admit it, Fazheng did his best to let Cao Cao admit it.


    However, Cao Cao admitted that it was a little strange.


    Who is Cao Cao?


    In this world, it is recognized as the hero.


    Are such people ordinary people?


    It is impossible that Cao Cao will be willing to admit defeat.


    After Fazheng thought about it, he felt that his scalp was numb and the situation seemed to be out of control.


    Cao Cao said faintly: "I really want to hang you outside the Wei palace, and I also want Cheng Yu to motivate you. In doing so, I want to see what kind of person Liu Xiu sent me. "


    "The alliance between the state of Wei and the state of Chu is very important."


    "What''s the point of sending someone who doesn''t have the least ability?"


    "Now it seems that you are a man of ability."


    "In the face of the king, he is neither humble nor arrogant, nor fearless in the face of power, and he is more agile and reasonable."


    Cao Cao said with a smile: "you represent Liu Xiu. According to Wang, it''s OK."


    With these words, the momentum of Fazheng was completely removed.


    Cao Cao''s brutal suppression of Fazheng also became reasonable.


    Fazheng secretly told Cao Cao that he was cunning, so he broke his edge.


    Fazheng was more alert.


    His first confrontation with Cao Cao was a draw. He failed to make Cao Cao lose face and Cao Cao failed to hold him down.


    Cao Pi sat down and watched all this happen. He was quite surprised.


    As a son of the world, he looked and thought more.


    He thought of himself sitting in Cao Cao''s position. When FA Zheng was so aggressive, what would he do?


    In a word, he can''t reach the level of Cao Cao.


    The crisis was completely resolved in the calm.


    Cao Cao glanced at Cao Pi, then his eyes fell on FA Zheng and said, "Fa Zheng, come on, Liu Xiu sent you to make an alliance. What''s your intention? Is it because Liu Xiu is afraid of our king and wants to show his weakness and ask for peace? "


    Fazheng said, "the king of Wei, Miao Yi, sent his humble post to fight against the king of Wei."


    Brush!


    Everyone''s face changed when they heard it.


    In the afternoon?


    Isn''t it the alliance of Chu and Wei?


    Fazheng''s words suddenly made the atmosphere in the hall dignified.


    The state of Chu and the state of Wei fought a big war only last year, when Cao''s army retreated.


    Now, Fazheng is back in the afternoon. What is he going to do?


    Is it going to war?


    A pair of eyes fixed on Fazheng, waiting for Fazheng to speak.


    Cao Cao said faintly, "how does Liu Xiu go to war?"


    When Cao Cao was more than ten years old, he promoted filial piety and integrity and stepped into the official career. He has been in the officialdom for more than 40 years now. He has gone through many big wars and numerous small battles, and has long since been the collapse of Mount Tai.


    Fazheng''s words can not affect Cao Cao.


    Even more, Cao Cao looked forward to fighting Liu Xiu again.


    Cao Cao is not a man willing to admit defeat.


    After losing once, he can fight again.


    after losing twice, he can still fight again.


    There will always be a time when he can win.


    He only needs the final result, but he doesn''t care about the process.


    As long as he wins in the end, even if he loses to Liu Xiu again and again, Cao Cao can still bear it.


    Fazheng reached out his hand and took out the letter from his sleeve, saying: "King Wei, this is the national document of Chu and Wei. Please have a look at it. The purpose of my king''s war with the king of Wei was to join him in attacking Wu. When the state of Wu was destroyed, he decided with the king of Wei to win the world. "


    "Ha ha ha..."


    After hearing this, Cao Cao couldn''t help laughing.


    He took the letter, looked at it roughly, and said: "what a Liu Xiu, good spirit!"


    Cao Cao had already guessed Liu Xiu''s intention.


    The reason why he united with Cao Cao was that Sun Quan would not be involved again.


    Now Liu Xiu and Cao Cao have little difference in strength. Liu Xiu occupies half of the country in the west, while Cao Cao occupies most of the country in the East, leaving only a corner in the East.


    But in this corner, weak is not weak, strong is not strong.


    At the critical moment, it can turn the situation around.


    In history, Cao Cao was the most powerful, and Sun Quan captured Jingzhou, which was equal to Liu Bei.Neither Sun Quan nor Liu Bei could destroy the state of Wei alone.


    On the other hand, the state of Wei is the most powerful and has the power to destroy Shu and Wu alone, but neither Shu nor Wu will wait for the other to be destroyed.


    In particular, Sun Quan sometimes fell to Shu and Wei, which made the situation balanced.


    In the end, it maintained a tripartite confrontation for quite a long time.


    Now, however, the situation is different.


    Both Cao Cao and Liu Xiu want to rule the world and have the power to rule the world.


    Sun Quan, the weakest, has become a stumbling block.


    Cao Cao said: "Fazheng, I don''t say much. In principle, I agree with the alliance between Chu and Wei. But how do we divide our territory? "


    Cao Pi sat down with a solemn face.


    When he visited Sima Yi, she analyzed the situation.


    , as like as two peas.


    Cao Pi looked at Fazheng. He wanted to know what conditions Fazheng would put forward?


    Fazheng was relieved.


    Cao Cao proposed how to dispatch troops and how to divide the territory of Wu, and he has achieved his goal.


    Next, the last key.


    Fazheng said: "if I say it out of thin air, it is difficult for the king of Wei to have an intuitive impression. Please take a map of the state of Wu and explain it to me, so that the king of Wei and all the people present can have a clearer understanding. "


    Cao Cao said, "come on, prepare a map of the state of Wu?"


    The order was given, and soon a soldier came with a map of the state of Wu.


    This map of the state of Wu is one foot wide and eight feet high. All the counties and counties of the state of Wu are marked in detail.


    Even some of the river courses are clearly marked.


    Fazheng was surprised when he saw it.


    The reason why he asked Cao Cao to take out the map of the state of Wu was to see Cao Cao''s grasp of the situation in the south. Unexpectedly, the map of the state of Wu prepared by Cao Cao was so detailed.


    Seeing Fazheng''s expression, Cao Cao said with a smile, "Mr. FA, how about this map?"


    Fazheng said: "extremely detailed!"


    Cao Cao said: "this map is not the most detailed. When I was defeated in Jingzhou, I was defeated above the geographical advantage. "


    "When I came back, I asked someone to prepare a map of Jingzhou."


    "It took nearly three years to complete."


    "The map of Jingzhou in my room is one Zhang three inches long and one Zhang wide. That''s the real detail."


    Cao Cao had a smile in his mouth and a touch of provocation in his eyes.


    The strength in the words is a must for Jingzhou.

 Chapter 707

    FA Zheng laughed and said, "King Wei is so elegant. He lost to my king twice. He had to stare at the map of Jingzhou every day in his room to remember my king''s power."


    "In ancient times, Gou Jian was a man of great ambition. He lived on his salary and tasted his courage every day."


    "Now, there is the king of Wei who is determined to look at pictures and meditate every day."


    "It must be a good story when it comes out."


    Fazheng''s joking words made Cao Cao''s face black.


    Cao Cao wanted to demonstrate and suppress Fazheng, but he didn''t expect Fazheng to be so powerful.


    Fazheng continued: "the king of Wei doesn''t have to be angry. After all, the king of Wei is old. Only when he looks at the map of Jingzhou from time to time can he remember the green mountains and green waters of Jingzhou, right?"


    Cao Pi saw Fazheng joking with Cao Cao and scolded: "Fazheng, don''t be presumptuous."


    Fazheng said, "do I have one?"


    Cao Pi wanted to speak, but Cao Cao stopped him.


    Cao Cao said, "Mr. FA is very interesting. I like him very much."


    FA Zhengdao: "the king of Wei praised it."


    Cao Cao said: "the map is here. How do you divide your interests?"


    Fazheng went to the map, stood in the east of Wu state, pointed to the position of Wu County and Danyang County, and said: "Wu County and Danyang county are adjacent to Xuzhou, and Wei state. I hope that the king of Wei will send troops from Wu County and Danyang county to attack the heart of Wu state. "


    Cao Cao examined the map and said, "where''s Liu Xiu?"


    Fazheng moved to the west of Wu state, pointed to the map and said, "Jingzhou borders Yuzhang county and Lujiang County. My king will send troops from the west of the state of Wu to attack Yuzhang and Lujiang. "


    After a pause, Fazheng said, "both sides should rely on their own abilities to send troops. Whoever takes the territory is his own. "


    After hearing this, Cao Cao fell into deep meditation.


    Xun you opened his mouth and said, "the king of Chu is really calculating and deserves the name of cunning."


    Fazheng said, "is that your excellency?"


    Xun you said, "I''m Xun you, Xun Gongda!"


    Fazheng said with a smile, "it''s Lord Xun who is polite. My king highly praised Lord Xun. He said that Xun Gongda was a confidant counselor of the king of Wei. If I can get the help of Lord Xun, I''m willing to trade the whole Yizhou. "


    This is just a free talk.


    Anyway, the law is just in front of Cao Cao. It doesn''t matter if he talks nonsense.


    In a word, it''s good to press Xun you.


    Xun you surprised: "I didn''t expect that the king of Chu valued me so much. I''m really flattered."


    As soon as the words changed, Xun you said, "Mr. FA is a wise man. We should understand that Wu County and Danyang county are the home of Wu state."


    "All the elite of the state of Wu are gathered here."


    "Moreover, the geographical location of Wu County and Danyang county is more complex, and it is difficult for cavalry to cross."


    "Yuzhang county and Lujiang County are weak and easy to attack."


    "The king of Chu gave the most difficult bone to the king of Wei. It''s not cunning. What is it?"


    Xunyou spoke with great eloquence. He stared at Fazheng with a disgruntled attitude.


    Xun you was also afraid of Fazheng.


    The talent that Fazheng showed just now is quite extraordinary.


    Liu Xiu''s talents, such as Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Xu Shu and Lu Su, are all first-class talents.


    Now, another Fazheng has emerged.


    In Xun you''s heart, he did not dare to despise.


    After hearing Xun you''s words, Fazheng tut tut two times, with a look of dissatisfaction, said: "Xun Gongda''s wisdom is outstanding, but he said such a low-level words. In order to fight for more interests for the king of Wei, he didn''t even want logic?"


    Xun you said, "please make it clear to Mr. FA!"


    Fazheng said: "it is true that Danyang county and Wu County are the heart of Wu state, and there are a large number of troops."


    "But who said Lujiang and Yuzhang had no troops?"


    "If there were no troops in these two places, Jingzhou would have invaded the state of Wu long ago."


    "The most powerful water army in the state of Wu is the water army, and the water army of the state of Wu is stationed on the Poyang Lake."


    "Zhou Yu, the governor of the state of Wu, was stationed in Yuzhang county."


    "Mr. Xun, you don''t understand the situation of Wu state, so I don''t blame you. But please don''t think that I will take advantage of the king of Wei. "


    FA Zheng tried his best to say: "on the contrary, this time, the king of Wei took the lead."


    "Under almost the same difficulties, the king of Wei could go straight to Sun Quan''s hometown."


    "If we take Sun Quan first, the surrounding areas will surely be obedient and will no longer resist."


    "It was easier for the king of Wei."


    "But the hatred between Zhou Yu, the governor of the state of Wu, and our king could not be resolved. He could not agree to reconciliation. Under such circumstances, Zhou Yu must resist with all his strength. "


    FA Zheng stares at Xun you and says, "Xun Gongda, who has the advantage?"


    Xun you said with a smile: "Fa Xiaozhi is really powerful, but you have overlooked one point. When Sun Quan is in danger, will Zhou Yu not return to Wujun? Zhou Yu withdrew, and the state of Chu took advantage of the situation. At that time, it will be your Chu army that drives straight in. "FA Zhengdao said: "you are wrong. Zhou Yu wants to withdraw his troops. On the contrary, our army of Chu has to contain the army of Wu. Otherwise, once Zhou Yu and Sun Quan''s army converge, the variables will increase. "


    Xun you shook his head and said, "you can only cheat a three-year-old."


    FA Zhengdao: "the next words are from the heart."


    Two people you come and I go, fight is not lively.


    Cao Cao''s men, looking at the two men fighting, also looked forward to, expecting Xun you to win.


    But in the end, Fazheng and Xunyou got into a dispute.


    It''s hard to deal with Xun you.


    Xun you''s words, in fact, have already talked about the arrangements after the war.


    In fact, according to Fazheng''s plan, once Sun Quan asked for help, Zhou Yu would withdraw. At that time, the state of Chu will take advantage of the situation to kill Zhou Yu, drive straight into Wujun, and will certainly maximize all interests.


    Xun you pointed it out to the point.


    In this way, Fazheng could only kill the state of Chu, which was to restrain Zhou Yu and would not allow Zhou Yu to withdraw.


    FA Zheng looked at Cao Cao and said, "what does the king of Wei mean?"


    It was Cao Cao who made the final decision.


    Whether he agrees or not depends on Cao Cao''s final decision.


    With a smile in his mouth, Cao Cao said, "Fazheng, I am willing to make an alliance with Liu Xiu to attack the state of Wu. At the same time, I also agree with you. I sent troops to attack Wu County and Danyang County, while Liu Xiu sent troops to attack Lujiang County and Yuzhang county. "


    In a word, Cao Cao made the final decision.


    All the people under Cao Cao''s command had their own thoughts.


    They can see that Xun you''s judgment just now is probably true.


    But Cao Cao agreed, which puzzled them.


    But no one refuted Cao Cao''s decision.


    Fazheng arched his hand and said, "King Wei is wise. Since King Wei agrees to send troops, when can King Wei send troops? He also issued an imperial edict against the state of Wu. "


    Cao Cao said: "on the first day of May, the king issued an address to attack Sun Quan, and then sent troops to the south."


    On the first day of May, there is still a period of time.


    By that time, Fazheng had returned to Xiangyang, and Liu Xiu was able to send troops at the appointed time.


    FA Zhengdao: "according to the first day of May of the king of Wei. On the first day of May, my king will also issue an address against Sun Quan. "


    Cao Cao said, "go back and tell Liu Xiu that our king is waiting to fight him."


    FA Zhengdao: "the words of the king of Wei must be brought to me. Now that the king of Wei agreed, my task has been completed. Wang Wei, warning speech. "


    Cao Cao offered a banquet, but Fazheng refused.


    After Fazheng left, people began to talk.


    Cheng Yu said: "King Wei, Gongda''s analysis just now is absolutely Liu Xiu''s intention. Once Zhou Yu withdraws, Liu Xiu will certainly take advantage of the situation and kill him. "


    Cao Cao said with a smile, "what about Liu Xiu''s cover up? Won''t we just do it? "


    On the battlefield, there has never been a fixed form.


    There is no general trend in war, but water is changeable.


    If Liu Xiu wants to kill Zhou Yu and drive straight in, Cao Cao can also respond.


    After listening to Cao Cao''s words, everyone was relieved.


    After discussing the strategy of attacking the state of Wu, Cao Cao and his military officers and generals went down to make preparations.

 Chapter 708

    After Fazheng left Yecheng, he rushed all the way and couldn''t wait to return to Xiangyang as soon as possible.


    He succeeded in his mission to Yecheng.


    Next, it was the first world war that led the attack on Wu.


    Fazheng followed Liu Xiu. Several times, he had the opportunity to be an official, or even a shepherd, to be a feudal official under Liu Xiu''s command, but Fazheng refused.


    Fazheng doesn''t care what he''s doing now?


    What Fazheng cares about is what merits he can make under Liu Xiu''s command.


    As a wise man with ambition and ideas, Fazheng wanted to be a marquis and a prime minister, and wanted to be the pillar of Liu Xiu''s command.


    Liu Xiu''s general trend has been established and he has a chance to win the world.


    Once successful, he will be crowned emperor.


    At that time, the court needs a large number of officials to fill.


    The goal of Fazheng was to become a powerful official of the imperial court and stay in the central core of Liu Xiu.


    Therefore, this attack on Wu is very important to the law.


    It was mid April when he rode back to Xiangyang.


    To be back in mid April is the result of Fazheng''s quick efforts.


    At the moment, Fazheng is tired, but his eyes are brighter and his spirit is more excited than ever.


    Come back!


    He returned to Xiangyang.


    After entering the city, Fazheng went straight to the palace of the king of Chu.


    After the soldiers reported, Fazheng met Liu Xiu in his study, saluted and said: "humble Fazheng, meet the king."


    Liu Xiu looked at FA Zheng and said, "Xiaozhi, why are you so embarrassed?"


    Fazheng''s clothes were shabby and dusty.


    In this way, Fazheng and his elegant demeanor were not related at all.


    It''s like begging on the side of the road.


    His hair was scattered, his face was dirty, and his clothes were not neat. It was like Fazheng, an important official of the state of Chu.


    Fazheng laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I''m in a hurry to come back, so I didn''t repair the border all the way. Please forgive me."


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu sighed: "why do you spell it like this?"


    Liu Xiu was also moved by this.


    Fazheng shook his head and said, "it''s OK to be a humble official. Won''t it come back?"


    Liu Xiu asked, "what''s the result of this trip to Wei?"


    When it comes to business, FA Zheng looks solemn.


    Although Fazheng''s face was full of fatigue, his eyes were shining, and he said: "tell your majesty, Cao Cao has agreed to form an alliance, and has agreed to send troops in early May. Cao Cao will send troops from Wu County and Danyang County, while we will send troops from Lujiang County and Yuzhang county. At that time, whoever seizes the territory will own it. "


    "Good!"


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu couldn''t help praising.


    It means that Sun Quan has no chance.


    Today''s situation is two strong and one weak.


    Under such circumstances, Sun Quan can only rely on one side and fight against the other.


    But when the two powers unite, Sun Quan has no choice. He can hardly find foreign aid.


    Liu Xiu''s mind turned. He wanted to call Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others to discuss business immediately. However, seeing the situation of Fazheng, he restrained his mind and said, "Xiaozhi, go back and have a rest. Wash up and have a good sleep. At midnight tomorrow morning, we will discuss the attack on the state of Wu. "


    "Here it is


    Fazheng arched his hand and then turned back.


    After thinking about it, Liu Xiu ordered the soldiers to invite Deng Zhan to the study.


    Not long after, Deng Zhan came.


    Deng Zhan saluted and said, "king!"


    Liu xiudao: "sit down!"


    "Thank you, king."


    Deng Zhan lifted his robe and sat down, but he was thinking, what can Liu Xiu do for him?


    Liu Xiu said, "send a letter to Tai Shici and Huang Zhong immediately and order them to prepare for the war."


    "Here it is


    Deng Zhan sat up straight and responded directly.


    Immediately, Deng Zhan asked, "king, are you going to war with Wu?"


    The army led by Tai Shici was stationed in Jiangxia County, adjacent to Lujiang County and bordering Wu state.


    Huang Zhong lived in Jiaozhou, which was also adjacent to the state of Wu.


    The second army led by Huang Zhong has to prepare for the war. It can be seen that it is going to war with the state of Wu.


    Liu xiudao said, "on the first day of May, attack the state of Wu."


    Deng Zhan was excited.


    Once Wu was conquered, only Wei was left in the north.


    He followed Liu Xiu all the way. With the rise of Liu Xiu''s position, he also had a chance to become a minister of the dragon.


    Deng Zhan zhengse way: "time is urgent, humble duty this goes to arrange."


    Liu Xiu nodded, Deng Zhan got up and went out.


    When Deng Zhan came to the door, suddenly, Liu Xiu said, "wait a minute!"


    Deng Zhan turned around and said, "what else can I do for you?"


    Liu Xiu ordered: "order Zhao Yun to return to Xiangyang.""Here it is


    Deng Zhan responded and left.


    Liu Xiu transferred Zhao Yun back this time, because now Zhao Yun is in Wuling County, which is of little use. The first battle with Wu is related to the decisive battle with Cao Cao.


    Only when Zhao Yun leads his troops back to Xiangyang can Xiangyang be stabilized.


    It was not easy for Lu Su to take part in the attack on Wu.


    At the beginning, Lu Su had hoped not to be hostile to the state of Wu.


    Therefore, to transfer Lu Su back is to let him stay in the rear and give advice.


    As for Tai Shici, Liu Xiu is also under consideration.


    After all, Tai Shici used to be an old minister of the state of Wu. Liu Xiu knew that Tai Shici was loyal to him, but whether Tai Shici was willing to preside over the war as a general remains to be discussed.


    Liu Xiu sat alone in the camp, still painting, thinking about the direction of the war.


    The next morning, Liu Xiu washed early.


    After breakfast, Liu Xiu waited in his study.


    Towards the end of the day, Deng Zhan came and said, "king, everyone is here."


    Liu Xiu nodded and went to the hall.


    When Liu Xiu came to the hall, he saw that Jia Xu, Pang Tong, FA Zheng, Ma Chao, Zhang Ya, Kuai Liang and Yi Ji had all arrived.


    After Liu Xiu took his seat, he said straight to the point: "the reason why we called you here is that we succeeded in uniting with Cao Cao. On the first day of May, Chu and Wei sent troops against Wu. "


    At this point, Liu Xiu said: "Xiaozhi, you are negotiating with Cao Cao. You can tell the situation."


    Fazheng had a day off and was radiant.


    With a smile on his face, he told the story of his trip to the state of Wei and the agreement he reached with Cao Cao.


    After all that, FA Zhengdao said: "Cao Cao has the ambition to dominate the world, and he also wants to fight against the king, so he agrees to attack the state of Wu. So it is very important to attack Wu this time. This war is not only to destroy the state of Wu, but also to lay the foundation for us to attack the state of Wei. "


    When they heard the words, they all looked in agreement.


    This time, the war with Wu was really related to the fate of Chu.


    Liu Xiu said: "if you have any ideas, you should express your own opinions. The king has ordered Huang Zhong and Tai Shici to prepare for war, and ordered Zhao Yun to lead the third army back from Qianling county. Now, let''s talk about our views. "


    Kuai Liang said: "after the stability of Yizhou, grain has been continuously transported to Xiangyang. In addition, we have been preparing food and weapons in recent months, and now the food has stabilized. "


    For the state of Chu, if Yizhou was stable, the granary would be stable.


    Once Yizhou was in turmoil, Chu''s grain would also be affected.


    After listening to Kuai Liang''s words, Liu Xiu said, "before the troops and horses move, the grain and grass go first. Zirou is doing a good job. Food and weapons are ready, and we can go to war at any time. "


    He commented and looked at the others.


    Pang Tong coughed twice and said, "king, it''s not only Huang Zhong and Tai Shici who think they should prepare for war."


    Liu xiudao: "what''s Shiyuan''s opinion?"

 Chapter 709

    Pang Tong said without hesitation: "the heroes of the time are the king, Cao Cao and Sun Quan."


    "There are three points in the world, but the king and Cao Cao are the strongest."


    "There is no dispute that Sun Quan will be defeated by two strong attacks and one weak attack."


    "The focus now is on fighting Cao Cao after defeating Sun Quan, which is the most important thing."


    Pang Tong had a wise look in his eyes. He said, "I think it''s not only Huang Zhong and Tai Shici who have to prepare for war, but also Zhang Ren and Wen pin."


    "Wenpin is located in Luoyang, bordering Bingzhou."


    "Zhang Ren is located in Yuzhou, which borders on the Yuzhou of Cao Cao."


    "These two places will be battlefields in the future."


    "Once Sun Quan is defeated, the response of these two battlefields will be the most critical place."


    "So, I think they have to be prepared."


    Pang Tong said: "if you make preparations early, you can seize the opportunity. He even thinks that Cao Cao will make arrangements, not only to prepare for war, but also to prevent us from attacking him. "


    Pang Tong didn''t say anything about the war of Wu.


    In Pang Tong''s view, Wu will lose, the key is still the confrontation with Wei.


    Liu Xiu also agreed with Pang Tong''s analysis, but said: "although the state of Wu is weak, it is not without the power of the first World War. This battle laid the foundation for a decisive battle with Cao Cao, so we can''t relax. "


    When Fazheng heard Liu Xiu''s words, a smile appeared on his face.


    According to Pang Tong, it seems that the state of Wu is not important.


    In fact, the first World War of Wu is the key to the overall situation of the world.


    Pang Tong glanced at FA Zheng and said, "king, please stay in Xiangyang to deal with the attack of Cao Cao."


    Liu xiudao: "accurate!"


    After hearing this, Fazheng was also surprised.


    Immediately, Fazheng understood Pang Tong''s meaning.


    By doing so, Pang Tong did not mean that he did not pay attention to the war of Wu. He just left it behind from the cause of Wei, and then gave it to Fazheng to plan the war of Wu.


    All along, when Liu Xiu went to battle, Pang Tong was inseparable from Liu Xiu.


    This time, Pang Tong took the initiative to stay.


    Obviously, Pang Tong did not want to fight for power with Fazheng, nor did he want to take credit from Fazheng.


    Liu Xiu also understood, so he agreed directly.


    Moreover, Xiangyang also needs to be guarded. Only when someone sits down in Xiangyang, can Liu Xiu rest assured.


    Liu Xiu looked at the crowd and said, "what''s your opinion?"


    They all shook their heads and said nothing.


    The fighting between Chu and Wu continued. There were two armies of taishici and Huangzhong, and they had nothing to worry about or arrange.


    When Liu Xiu saw that all the people were silent, he said, "since there is nothing to say, the king ordered."


    "Yiji, listen to the order!"


    At the same time, Liu Xiu also showed the justice and rationality of the crusade against Sun Quan.


    Such articles must be written by people with outstanding literary talent.


    Once upon a time, Yuan Shao fought with Cao Cao.


    Chen Lin, under yuan shaorang''s command, wrote a denunciation against Cao Cao, which made Cao Cao cold-blooded and respected from the bottom of his heart.


    The function of an appeal is inestimable.


    Liu Xiu also said: "Fa Zheng listens to the order!"


    "I''m in a humble position!"


    Fazheng got up and answered.


    Liu Xiuse said, "I''ll take Sun Quan personally. As a military strategist, you''ll go with me."


    "Here it is


    Fazheng responded excitedly.


    At the beginning, in order to find out the details of Wu, he lurked in Wu for many years. All the efforts are for today''s harvest. Now Liu Xiu let him as a military adviser, is the best affirmation of him.


    Liu Xiu looked at Jia Xu and Pang Tong and said, "Wenhe and Shiyuan, you two stay in Xiangyang. After Zhao Yun led the second army to return, you two, together with Lu Su, began to lay out a plan for the counter offensive against the state of Wei. I hope that once the state of Wu falls, your army will attack Cao Cao head-on. "


    Jia Xu said, "I will obey the king''s orders."


    Pang Tong said, "I will obey you at your humble duty."


    They have no opinion about Liu Xiu''s arrangement.


    Next to the chief General of the Fourth Army on the front line, Tai Shici, was the military adviser Ma su.


    Next to Huang Zhong, the chief General of the second front army, was Ma Liang, a military adviser.


    After years of experience, Ma Su and Ma Liang are both independent people with outstanding talents.


    Then, there is fa Zheng with him.


    This time, the team of counsellors who attacked the state of Wu already had considerable strength.


    In addition, Liu Xiu himself is good at layout, such a lineup to attack Wu, there is no problem.


    Liu Xiu said, "open your jaw and listen to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Open your jaw and clasp your fist.


    Today''s Zhang jaw, although he has no official position, has been responsible for coordinating the troops under Huang Hu and shamoko, and training some soldiers.Liu Xiu said: "this attack on the state of Wu, you go with the king."


    "Here it is


    Zhang jaw should be down, looking forward to in the heart.


    He hoped that this time, he would have the opportunity to command the army alone and build meritorious deeds.


    Liu Xiu asked Huang Hu and shamoko to unite the army.


    The orders were given, and everyone had their own business to do.


    When everyone left, Liu Xiu was relieved.


    When it comes to the start of war, there are many things to deal with every time. It''s not an easy thing.


    Everything''s in order, just wait for the troops.


    But in Liu Xiu''s heart, there is a trace of regret, because this war will involve sun Shangxiang.


    In any case, sun Shangxiang was a member of the state of Wu and Sun Quan''s younger sister. Even though Sun Quan had used sun Shangxiang several times, the blood relationship between the two sides could not be separated.


    When he came to the backyard, Liu Xiu went to sun Shangxiang alone.


    They were sitting in the yard.


    All over the warm sunshine at the end of spring.


    Liu Xiu looked at sun Shangxiang, but with a touch of regret on his face, sighed: "Xiang''er, the state of Chu and the state of Wu are about to go to war."


    When sun Shangxiang heard this, he shivered.


    What she worried about finally came!


    One side is her family, the other is her husband.


    However, sun Shangxiang also knows that she can''t stop all this happening.


    Both Sun Quan and Liu Xiu have their own pursuits and ideas.


    It''s impossible to dissuade.


    Sun Shangxiang looked at Liu Xiu and said, "my husband, I know I can''t stop it, and I can''t stop it. However, I still have a heartless request. "


    Liu xiudao: "you say!"


    Sun Shangxiang said, "if possible, please spare my second brother''s life."


    Liu Xiu listened, some silence, said: "I will try my best."


    When it comes to fighting with Sun Quan, Liu Xiu can''t guarantee that anything can happen on the battlefield.


    Sun Shangxiang, a soldier, said, "I can''t do it. Please leave some blood for the sun family. At least, don''t let the sun family''s blood be cut off. "


    This condition is the last request.


    Liu Xiu said solemnly, "don''t worry, I can promise you this."


    Liu Xiu can promise this.


    But no matter what, this time when he was at war with Sun Quan, the Wu Kingdom of sun''s family could not exist.


    Liu Xiu had a conversation with sun Shangxiang, and then Liu Xiu left.


    He''s about to go to war. He has a lot of things to do.

 Chapter 710

    Jizhou, Yecheng!


    Since the alliance was established with Liu Xiu, the war machine of the state of Wei also operated rapidly.


    Cao Cao occupies the most states in the world.


    Jizhou and Xuzhou, in particular, are granaries and commercial areas.


    These two places continuously provided food and money for Cao Cao, which ensured that Cao Cao''s rear had no worries.


    In a short time, Cao Cao mobilized grain, grass and army.


    Then, Cao Cao ordered Chen Lin to issue a call against Sun Quan.


    In Chen Lin''s address, she denounced Sun Quan and turned him into a sinister villain. She was also a traitor of the Han Dynasty, counting Sun Quan''s ten crimes.


    An address, with thousands of words, can be said to be heartfelt.


    This piece of proclamation soon spread.


    The army of the state of Wei is ready to go out.


    Cao Pi, the son of the world, arrived at Sima Yi''s house at this critical time.


    In the study.


    Cao Pi saluted respectfully, then sat down.


    Sima Yi looked up at Cao Pi and said, "Shizi, the war between the state of Wei and the state of Wu is imminent. Shizi should have a lot of things in his hand. How did he come to Xiafu?"


    Cao Pi said sincerely, "I''m here to ask for your advice."


    Sima Yi said, "what can I ask you?"


    Cao Pi, with a solemn face, said: "what I''m thinking about is whether I should take the initiative to ask for war and go to the state of Wu to preside over the war. But I''m weaker in military than brother Zhang. I''m afraid my father will not be happy. "


    Sima Yi looked at Cao Pi and said that Cao Pi was sensitive.


    This is the time to consider the key.


    But not to the point.


    Sima Yi said with a straight face: "the son of the world is very appropriate. I suggest my son go to this battle. "


    Cao Pi said, "but I''m not good at military."


    Sima Yi snorted and said, "Your Majesty, there are very few people who can fight the world and govern the country. It''s not surprising that Shizi is deficient in military affairs. "


    "Shizi doesn''t understand. Don''t other people understand?"


    "Shizi, as the master of human beings, should clearly realize that as long as you can use people, everything can be solved."


    "Shizi can''t fight, but he has people who can fight around him. As long as you use them well, naturally someone will fight for you. Shizi can''t do martial arts, but he has people who are brave and outstanding. Shizi can''t handle government affairs, but he also has people who understand government affairs."


    "In a word, Shizi can use his energy. It''s enough to know people and be good at their duties."


    Sima Yi said: "looking back at that time, Liu Bang, the emperor of Gao, did not become a man of martial arts? However, Emperor Gao laid a solid foundation for hundreds of years. My son''s birth is much better than that of emperor Gao. Why are you afraid of him? "


    After hearing this, Cao Pi suddenly understood.


    He has great respect for Sima Yi. This is his think tank.


    "I will bear in mind what you taught me."


    Cao Pi saluted respectfully.


    Sima Yi said: "just now, Shizi wanted to take the initiative to fight. It''s OK to take the body of the king of Wei as an excuse. But this reason is not enough to allow the king of Wei. "


    Cao Pi said, "what more reason do you need?"


    Sima Yi had a flash in his eyes and said, "my son, just say that Wu is a weak country. If Wei and Chu join hands, Wu will be defeated. What we really have to worry about is the attack launched by Chu after the defeat of Wu. The king of Wei was wise and powerful, so he should be the center to deal with the attack of Chu. In this way, the king of Wei must agree. "


    After listening, Cao Pi nodded solemnly.


    Sima Yi''s reason is indeed sufficient.


    Liu Xiu is the ultimate person of Cao Cao. It is the best way to let Cao Cao stay in Yecheng to deal with Chu.


    Sima Yi continued: "this time I went south, I saw more and listened less. It''s time to win. Naturally, Shizi''s credit is indispensable. In this war, Shizi''s focus is not how to command, but how to make a good relationship with the generals, and further let them recognize you and support you. "


    Cao Pi said: "Sir, I understand what I have taught you."


    After a pause, Cao Pi said, "my husband is extremely intelligent. Why don''t you go south with me?"


    Sima Yi shook her head and said, "I have nothing to do with the war against Wu in the south. And I''m still a long history of the palace. If the king doesn''t go south, I won''t leave. "


    After hearing this, Cao Pi expressed a little regret on his face.


    "It''s not a bad thing that Zhang Shizi didn''t stay in this city. You can''t leave Shizi''s defense line in Yecheng empty just because he''s going south. "


    Cao Pi arched his hand and said, "thank you, sir."


    Sima Yi said, "it''s getting late. Let''s go back early."


    "Good bye, sir!"


    Cao Pi got up and left Sima Yi''s house. Then he went straight to King Wei''s house and saw Cao Cao in his study.Cao Pi saluted and said, "son, meet my father!"


    Cao Cao said, "sit down


    Cao Pi sat down.


    Cao Cao asked, "what''s the matter with you?"


    Cao Pi opened the door to the mountain and said, "my son is here to recommend himself to my father."


    "Oh, tell me!"


    With a smile on his lips, Cao Cao asked.


    All along, Cao Pi was steady and steady in dealing with government affairs. He was very steady, and there was no place for Mao to be impetuous. When Cao Pi dealt with government affairs, even Cao Cao was very relieved.


    Now Cao Pi offered himself, and Cao Cao was very curious.


    Cao Pi asked: "dare to ask my father, this time the United destruction of Wu, is to drive the imperial expedition?"


    Cao Cao said, "I have this plan."


    Cao Cao''s answer was also ambiguous. He had this plan, but he did not necessarily have to go. It was only tentative.


    Cao Pi said, "my son hopes to take the place of his father and go out to fight against the state of Wu."


    Cao Cao asked, "why?"


    Cao Pi looked sincere and said slowly, "there are three reasons for my son. First, my father recovered from his illness soon and was still in the process of recuperation. If my father was in good health, the state of Wei was as stable as Mount Tai. Now it''s summer. It''s hot and humid in the south. My father is going to fight in the south, so he can''t get away from the summer. In addition, he has to work hard, which is not conducive to taking care of his health. "


    After hearing this, Cao Cao''s face looked pleased.


    Cao Pi''s words are reasonable.


    Cao Cao said, "what about the second?"


    Cao Pi continued: "second, the state of Wu is a weak country. If the state of Wei and the state of Chu jointly attack the state of Wu, the state of Wu will be defeated. As long as my father sends generals and wise men to fight, this battle will be won. "


    "What is worrying is the army of Chu."


    "Once the state of Wu is destroyed, Liu Xiu is afraid to go to war."


    "At that time, father and king need to coordinate and plan in order to make the fastest response."


    "If father is on the front line, it is not easy to coordinate."


    "Only when my father stayed in Yecheng, he could make the fastest response, so as to fight back against Liu Xiu, or even attack first."


    According to Sima Yi''s plan, Cao Pi gave the second reason.


    This reason still satisfied Cao Cao.


    In history, Cao Cao regarded Sun Quan as his great enemy, and even said that he should have a son like sun Zhongmou.


    But because of the appearance of Liu Xiu, Sun Quan never developed and was suppressed.


    Therefore, Cao Cao did not put Sun Quan in his eyes.


    Cao Cao was surprised by Cao Pi''s analysis and said, "what about the third?"


    When Cao Pi talked about the third, he looked serious and said, "father Wen can govern the country and military can govern the army. As the son of his father, pi''er was not aware of the war and felt ashamed. "


    "It''s not difficult to attack the state of Wu this time, so my son thought about it and went to the battlefield to learn something from his predecessors and uncles. He didn''t want to be proficient, but he could be proficient in military strategy."


    "Only in such a war can my son dare to see it."


    "If it''s a confrontation with Liu Xiu, the war is on the line, and my son doesn''t dare to go there without permission."


    Cao Pi said, "son, please father''s permission."


    After listening, Cao Cao''s face also showed a look of meditation.


    Cao Cao was also very pleased with Cao Pi''s request, because Cao Pi had this heart.


    So far, Cao Cao''s most satisfied successor is Cao ang.


    Cao ang is very similar to Cao Cao in both literature and martial arts. Unfortunately, he died on the battlefield in order to save him.


    Cao Pi has the mind to exercise, Cao Cao also has no opinion, way: "your request, this king has permitted. In this attack on the state of Wu, the king will appoint the chief General of the army to take charge of the war against Wu. You go as commander in chief, but do not interfere in military affairs at will. "


    Cao Pi hugged his fist and said, "my son will obey my father''s orders."


    At the moment, Cao Pi''s heart is also excited, with the results of the war against Wu, and his resume has a lot more.


    Cao Cao waved Cao Pi back, and then began to arrange the dispatch of troops.

 Chapter 711

    When Cao Cao issued his attack on Sun Quan, the attack of Chu was also issued.


    The two denunciations, like sharp knives, criticized Sun Quan bitterly.


    On the first day of May.


    Chu and Wei sent troops at the same time to attack Sun Quan.


    After the news reached the state of Wu, the officials of the state of Wu were shocked and the people were frightened.


    Both Cao Cao and Liu Xiu have the strength to defeat Sun Quan.


    Now the two families are attacking and killing together.


    In the battle of Chibi in history, Cao Cao sent troops to the south, and all the literary officials headed by Zhang Zhao admonished him to submit to Cao Cao, believing that he could not resist Cao Cao''s army.


    At that time, the military strongly advocated resistance.


    When Zhou Yu, Lu Su and other military generals strongly advocated the first World War, Sun Quan united with Liu Bei to fight against Cao.


    But now?


    Where can Sun Quan find an ally?


    Liu Bei has been killed, and Jingzhou also has a covetous Liu Xiu.


    Cao Cao and Liu Xiu killed together, which caused the shock of Wu.


    For a time, people were in a panic.


    All the officials were uneasy.


    Wu Wang Fu!


    In the main hall.


    All the officials of the state of Wu gathered here.


    One by one, they were talking, and their faces were dignified.


    Everyone is worried about the situation.


    Sun Quan was also extremely upset in his eyes.


    He always wavered between Liu Xiu and Cao Cao. When Liu Xiu was strong, he directly asked Liu Xiu for peace, and then united with Cao Cao to fight against Cao Cao. When Liu Xiu and Cao Cao fought, Sun Quan was ready to attack Jingzhou.


    All along, although Sun Quan faced danger several times, he never had a critical foundation.


    But this time, Cao Cao and Liu Xiu United.


    This result shocked and even frightened Sun Quan.


    He inherited the foundation of his father and brother, endured humiliation, and had what he is today.


    Now it''s facing the biggest crisis.


    Sun Quan looked at the noisy officials and yelled, "enough, shut up!"


    As soon as Sun Quan opened his mouth, everyone immediately shut up.


    All eyes looked at Sun Quan, waiting for him to speak.


    Lu zhaoxun, Zhang Yongquan and others left


    "Here it is


    Hearing the speech, the people should shake their heads and leave with a sigh.


    When Sun Quan looked at the dispirited officials under his command, he felt angry.


    These people, who are usually fat and white, are all dumb at the critical moment, and they only know how to sigh, which is really useless.


    Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao and others and said, "Mr. Zhang, Cao Cao and Liu Xiu are fighting together. What do you think?"


    Zhang Zhao''s face was bitter when he heard the speech.


    The state of Wu, facing the Chu family, was already clumsy and hard to resist.


    Now, the state of Chu and the state of Wei are killing each other. It is hard for Zhang Zhaoyi to think of a way.


    When Sun Quan asked, Zhang Zhao also had to say.


    Zhang Zhao turned his mind and said, "Your Majesty, the situation is critical now. If you don''t pay attention to it, it will be the result of destroying the country. We are still married to the state of Chu. I think we can ask the old lady to write a letter and send it to Xiangyang to ask Shangxiang to mediate. "


    After hearing this, Sun Quan said: "it can be done, but the effect is not expected to be great. A man like Liu Xiu can''t be manipulated by Shang Xiang. "


    Zhang Zhao said, "no matter what, you have to have a try."


    Sun Quan wrote down Zhang Zhao''s words.


    Sun Quan looked at Gu Yong and said, "Gu Yong, what can you do?"


    In history, Gu Yong was the Prime Minister of Wu.


    When he was young, he worshipped Cai Yong as his teacher. Later, Cai Yong returned to Luoyang, while Gu Yong became an official in Jiangdong. After Sun Quan came to power, Gu Yong became Zuo Sima of Sun Quan''s shogunate and became Sun Quan''s confidant.


    After Sun Quan became emperor, Zhang Zhao was dismissed. Sun Shao could not satisfy Sun Quan, and Gu Yong was appointed prime minister.


    It was 19 years since he became prime minister.


    Gu Yong''s cleverness lies in his ability, not to play favoritism, being able to guess Sun Quan''s mind and scruple his face.


    Zhang Zhao is not the same. He is the Minister of Tuogu and is regarded as a teacher by sun quanzun.


    From time to time, Zhang Zhao ignored Sun Quan''s face and made Sun Quan disheartened.


    So that, in the end, depression.


    Today, Gu Yong is not as prominent in history, but he is also Sun Quan''s confidant.


    Gu Yong thought about it, and then said, "king, this is the time of life and death. In my opinion, the strength of the state of Wu alone can not resist. The only way to do that is to use your strength. "


    Sun Quan''s eyes brightened and said, "how can I use my strength to fight?"


    Today, Zhou Yu is in charge of the army.


    After Sun Quan lost Lu Su, there was no one who planned the layout, so he was very passive.Gu Yongzheng said, "with the help of Cao Cao, attack Liu Xiu."


    Zhang Zhao asked, "why not attack Cao Cao with the help of Liu Xiu?"


    Sun Quan looked at Gu Yong with doubts in his eyes.


    Gu Yong explained: "the reason is very simple. Cao Cao''s troops are all northerners. After they crossed the Yangtze River, they were hard to adapt to the weather in the south, but they were hard to get used to the way of fighting in the south. It''s much harder to deal with Liu Xiu than with Cao Cao. "


    "As long as Liu Xiu is weakened and the threat brought by Liu Xiu is rescued, Wu Guo will be safe."


    "Therefore, we can only rely on the power of the state of Wei."


    "I just want to use the power of the state of Wei. I''m afraid I''m going to aggrieve the king."


    Gu Yong sighed. At this point, it is impossible for Sun Quan to protect himself without bleeding.


    Even, it may not be successful.


    Sun Quan said in a deep voice, "I''m not afraid of injustice. What do you want me to do?"


    Gu Yong said, "I submit to Cao Cao and send protons to China. In addition, the king even wanted to go to the king''s name to show his determination to belong to Cao Cao. "


    Brush!


    Sun Quan''s face suddenly changed.


    Go to the king!


    Send protons!


    Such a thing is absolutely a real disgrace to Sun Quan.


    Especially once the proton was sent, once he broke his face with Cao Cao and detained his son in Cao Cao''s hands, he would die.


    Sun Quan asked, "Gu Yong, is there no other way?"


    Sun Quan had a look of expectation in his eyes.


    Gu Yong sighed and said, "king, even if you do. In the end, it may not be successful. Once Cao Cao is determined to destroy the state of Wu, it will be very troublesome. "


    Sun Quan sat down with a look of despair and a sense of panic in his heart.


    However, Sun Quan is not reconciled.


    Sun''s three generations of foundation, how can he watch the collapse.


    Sun Quan looked at Lu Xun and said, "Lu Xun, what''s your plan?"


    Lu Xun shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have no solution. Just like Gu Yong''s analysis, now we can only unite with Cao Cao, and it depends on whether Cao Cao is willing to accept us. "


    Even Lu Xun felt it was difficult to turn the situation around.


    However, even if Lu Xun had a way, he would not come up with it.


    The hatred between the Lu family and the sun family has always existed.


    These years, the Lu family has been severely suppressed, and there is not much strength left.


    However, Lu Xun never forgot.


    When Cao Cao and Liu Xiu united to attack Sun Quan, Lu Xun was also very happy. In particular, he had been in contact with people in Jingzhou. When Sun Quan was destroyed, he served for the state of Chu.


    After pondering for a long time, Sun Quan sighed: "it''s all right. Now we can only adopt Gu Yong''s strategy. Gu Yong, would you like to go north to Xuzhou as an envoy to see the commander of the state of Wei? "


    "I''m willing to be humble!"


    Gu Yong bowed his hand to answer the question.


    He works for Sun Quan. At this time, he can only stand up.


    Sun Quan nodded and said, "when you go to Xuzhou, I will send a letter to Shangxiang. I hope she can help."


    After all the arrangements were made, Sun Quan asked the people to step down and went back to the courtyard.

 Chapter 712

    When Sun Quan arrived in the backyard, he met Wu Guotai.


    He looked respectful at the moment.


    Just face fear, but still left.


    Sun Quan knelt down in front of Wu Guotai, kowtowed and said, "mother, great disaster is coming to Wu."


    Wu Guotai was shocked when she saw this.


    What''s the situation?


    Mrs. Wu knows what virtue her son is.


    Sun Quan is intelligent and has a tough heart. He is not a man who can be easily knocked down.


    At present, Sun Quan directly kneels down in front of Wu Guotai''s expectation.


    Wu Guotai said, "Zhongmou, why are you doing this?"


    Sun Quan said, "mother, the foundation of the sun family in the state of Wu is about to collapse."


    Wu Guotai was even more nervous.


    What Wu Guotai cares about is Sun Jian''s basic business of three parts of an acre.


    After Sun Jian and Sun Quan''s hard work, we can see today''s scene.


    Although the state of Wu is weak, it is also a country.


    Wu Guotai helped Sun Quan up, and then said, "if there''s anything, get up first. Kneeling on the ground, what kind of system is it? "


    Sun Quan sat down and said, "Cao Cao and Liu Xiu have joined forces to attack the state of Wu."


    Wu Guotai''s heart clapped for a moment, and was also startled.


    Although the state of Wu was too indifferent to the government and the situation outside.


    But who is strong and who is weak, she is still clear.


    Cao Cao and Liu Xiu are both stronger. If the two countries unite, it will be a disaster for Wu.


    Wu Guotai said: "Zhongmou, what should I do?"


    Seeing her son''s style in front of her, she thought that Sun Quan wanted something. Otherwise, Sun Quan won''t tell her about it, he will only suppress it.


    Sun Quan said: "please write a letter to my mother and ask my younger sister to help mediate. Sun Quan is willing to submit to Liu Xiu. They even sent protons to the state of Chu. "


    Wu Guotai stared at Sun Quan and said, "Zhongmou, have you come this far?"


    Sun Quan said: "does the mother think that the son is joking?"


    Wu Guotai was silent when she heard the speech.


    Although she was also worried about the situation, she thought that her son had the ability and might have had a way. This was only a backup choice.


    Unexpectedly, it was such a condition.


    From Sun Quan''s words, Mrs. Wu knew that things were really critical.


    Sun Quan said in a deep voice: "mother, son also sent Gu Yong to Xuzhou to claim allegiance to Cao Cao. Moreover, he promised that as long as Cao Cao accepted the state of Wu, his son would be willing to go to the king and send protons to Yecheng."


    "In today''s situation, I''m afraid the other party won''t accept it."


    "Liu Xiu and Cao Cao are both in a fierce position to destroy the state of Wu."


    "I don''t know how to spend it."


    Sun Quan had a heavy look on his face. He forced himself to smile and said, "but mother can rest assured that his son will keep the family safe."


    Wu Guotai no longer said much and said, "I''ll write you a letter."


    Immediately, Wu Guotai let people prepare ink, paper and inkstone.


    Sun Quan had a new brush and a new inkstone.


    Wu Guotai looked at Sun Quan with a puzzled look on her face.


    It''s just writing a letter. How can it be so complicated? I have to change the ink.


    However, Sun Quan pulled out his long sword at his waist. With a stroke of thumb on the sword, a deep bloodstain suddenly appeared, and the red blood gurgled out.


    Sun Quan put his blood in the inkstone, gritted his teeth and said with pain, "mother, let''s write."


    Seeing this scene, Wu Guotai was heartbroken.


    At the same time, I was shocked.


    She knew better how critical the situation was at the moment.


    Wu Guotai did not hesitate. She dipped her pen in the blood of the inkstone and wrote.


    In the letter, Mrs. Wu first asked about sun Shangxiang''s recent situation, whether he was well or not, whether he had children or not. In a word, she was concerned about sun Shangxiang.


    Then the front of the story turned and it was said that the blood of the blood book was Sun Quan''s blood.


    Finally, when it comes to the state of Wu, I ask sun Shangxiang to convey it to Liu Xiu.


    After a letter was written, it was sensational and shocking.


    When Sun Quan saw that Wu Guotai had finished the letter, he was also relieved. Then he had his injured thumb bandaged and took the letter again, saying, "mother, my son is going to arrange for someone to deliver the letter. If things are complicated, my son will not stay. "


    With that, Sun Quan turned and left.


    ¡­¡­


    Lu Jia!


    In the study.


    Lu Xun and Lu Ji sit opposite each other.


    Lu Xun looked happy and said, "uncle, our chance has come. Liu Xiu and Cao Cao jointly attacked the state of Wu. This time, it''s hard for sun to escape. "


    In the words, Lu Xun was excited.


    The sun family had a long-standing foundation in the state of Wu.In recent years, the Lu family and other aristocratic families have been suppressed and even destroyed.


    Today, there are not many families left behind.


    Lu Ji looked even more excited.


    In terms of Lu Ji''s hatred of the sun family, that is the real hatred. Because Lu Ji''s father Lu Kang died because of sun CE.


    Lu Xun is Lu Kang''s grandson. He just follows Lu Kang an hour later and has a lot of feelings with Lu Kang.


    Lu Ji said in a deep voice: "Bo Yan, you are an official under Sun Quan. During this period of time, we must be careful not to be caught by Sun Quan at a crucial time. "


    Lu Ji also knew about the contacts between Lu Xun and Fazheng.


    Lu Xun said, "don''t worry, uncle. I understand."


    After a pause, Lu Xun said: "now there is a piece of news, which is very important. It must be spread out immediately to let the king of Chu know."


    Lu Ji asked, "what''s the news?"


    Lu Xun replied: "Sun Quan sent Gu Yong to Xuzhou to seek peace. Sun Quan was willing to submit himself to the state of Wei, and sent him to the throne."


    "Hiss!"


    Lu Ji took a cool breath and said, "Sun Quan is jumping out of the wall in a hurry. He even agreed to call his minister Wang."


    Lu Xun said: "the state of Chu and the state of Wei sent troops together, and Sun Quan was naturally nervous. With the strength of the state of Wu, it is impossible to stop this situation. We can only bear it for a while and try to find a way later. In other words, that is to say, to be a minister, to be a king and to send protons. Once Sun Quan really wants to go back, what can a son affect? It''s nothing more than abandoning a son. "


    Lu Ji asked, "do you think Cao Cao will accept it?"


    Lu Xun thought for a moment and said, "it''s hard to judge. Now Cao Cao and the king of Chu are preparing for a decisive battle. They want to fight each other. That''s why they attack the state of Wu."


    "When Sun Quan seeks peace, he will maintain the status quo."


    "As long as Sun Quan obeys Cao Cao, there will be a tripartite confrontation. Once Cao Cao attacked Liu Xiu and completely suppressed him, Sun Quan would surely turn to Liu Xiu for self-protection. "


    "Cao Cao can see through this, but he may not accept it. In a word, it depends on what Cao Cao thinks. "


    Lu Xun is not sure about the situation.


    The current situation is a bit complicated. He can only follow the situation.


    Lu Ji said: "since you can''t see it, you don''t care. You''ll arrange a messenger right away. Be careful. Don''t miss your horse''s feet. "


    Lu Xun said with a smile, "don''t worry, uncle."


    After saluting Lu Ji, Lu Xun turned and stepped down, and then went to convey the news.

 Chapter 713

    Xuzhou, Guangling County!


    Guangling county is the southernmost County of Xuzhou, bordering Wu County.


    Cao Pi led his troops to the South and finally stationed here.


    Although Cao Pi was the commander of the army, he was Zhang Liao and Xun you.


    Cao Pi had great respect for both of them.


    Zhang Liao was a general under the command of Cao Cao. After the death of Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan, there were fewer generals in Cao''s army, so Zhang Liao''s position became more prominent, and Xun you, needless to say, was Cao Cao''s absolute confidant.


    In addition, Yu Jin, Le Jin and Xu Yi joined the army.


    The number of troops in this war is as high as 80000.


    Eighty thousand elite soldiers went south to attack the state of Wu.


    Inside the city, inside the barracks.


    Cao Pi, dressed in armor, is inspecting the soldiers.


    Cao Pi is very clear about his position.


    Watch more, listen more, and interfere less in military affairs.


    What Cao Pi did most was to see whether the soldiers were lazy or not, and then to see how their food was, so as to ensure that the soldiers would not be deprived of military provisions.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    The sound of rapid footsteps came from behind Cao Pi.


    "My son!"


    A soldier called.


    Cao Pi stopped, looked at the soldiers and said, "what''s the matter?"


    "Wu Guoguo''s envoys have arrived. General Zhang and military division Xun will ask you to go back to the Chinese Army account," the soldier reported


    "I see!"


    Cao Pi turned and left, quickly heading for the big account of the Chinese army.


    In a short time, Cao Pi returned to the camp.


    Cao Pi''s eyes fell on a middle-aged man standing in the camp. When he saw that this man was dignified and magnificent, he praised him in his heart.


    Standing in the camp, it was Gu Yong.


    It''s not far from Wuxian to Xuzhou. It didn''t take him long to get there.


    Gu Yong saluted and said, "Gu Yong, envoy of the state of Wu, pay homage to my son."


    In the face of Cao Pi, Gu Yong was neither humble nor overbearing, and his words and deeds were admirable.


    After Cao Pi took his seat, he stared at Gu Yong and said, "Gu Yong, what did Sun Quan send you to do?"


    Gu Yong took out a silk letter and said, "report back to my son. My Lord will send me a surrender form to the king of Wei."


    The soldiers sent the silk script to Cao Pi.


    Cao Pi opened it and scanned it quickly. He was surprised.


    Go to the king!


    Send protons!


    Sun Quan wanted to submit himself to the state of Wei.


    Cao Pi''s brows wrinkled and his eyes were full of meditation.


    Sun Quan''s decision is somewhat unexpected.


    For a while, Cao Pi was a little uncertain.


    He looked at Gu Yong and asked, "Gu Yong, what kind of person do you think Sun Quan is?"


    Gu Yong said, "to my son, my Lord Sun Quan is the master of great talent and strategy."


    Cao Pi laughed and shook his head: "in my son''s opinion, Sun Quan is the master of mediocrity. If he is the master of great talent and strategy, the world will be full of great talent and strategy. "


    In history, Sun Quan was between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and eventually became an emperor.


    However, today''s Sun Quan is extremely depressed.


    The power of Jiangdong never expanded, and Sun Quan was defeated by Liu Xiu many times.


    Gu Yongzheng said, "my son, please listen to me."


    "Sun Quan, my Lord, is the hero of Jiangdong when he sees the world as a tiger."


    "To govern the six prefectures, to have a harmonious government and people''s will is his talent."


    "Liu Xiu is a great man who has been defeated many times and has a tough character."


    "Today, our Lord is stable for the state of Wu, and the people are not affected. It''s a strategy to bow to the state of Wei."


    Gu Yong talked with great eloquence, and said, "in this way, my Lord Sun Quan, is he not a brilliant man?"


    Cao Pi leaned forward slightly and looked at Gu Yong with deep appreciation.


    Gu Yong is a man of great talent.


    Cao Pi Leng can''t help but say: "Gu Yong, are you willing to work for my son?"


    Gu Yong''s face changed, with an unhappy look on his face. He said, "my son, please be careful. I am an envoy of the state of Wu, not a traitor. "


    Cao Pi said: "Wu was attacked by Wei and Chu. How could it exist?"


    Gu Yong said: "so, the son of heaven refused to accept my Lord''s surrender?"


    Cao Pi''s eyes turned, but he did not answer, saying: "Gu Yong, good birds choose trees to live in, and good officials choose their masters. You have talent. Don''t you think about your future? "


    Gu Yong said: "please don''t say it again."


    Cao Pi Shan Shan a smile, way: "just, just, this son of a lifetime don''t mention is."


    Gu Yongyue refused. Cao Piyue thought Gu Yong was valuable.


    Such talents are wasted by Sun Quan. They should work for him and for the state of Wei.


    Gu Yong said, "my son, if the state of Wei is not willing to accept the state of Wu. Then, my Lord can only submit to Liu Xiu. Anyway, my Lord and Liu Xiu are still in laws. "Cao Pi said, "are you threatening my son?"


    Gu Yong light said: "I just state a fact."


    Cao Pi''s eyes, there is a touch of fear, once the Wu subject to Liu Xiu, Wei will have a great impact.


    With Sun Quan''s obedience, Liu Xiu''s power will increase greatly.


    Cao Pi said, "Gu Yong, take a rest in the camp. My son will think about it and give you a reply."


    Gu Yong asked, "how long is the rest?"


    Now the situation is in danger, and the war is imminent. Once the time is delayed, it will be a disaster for the state of Wu.


    Cao Pi said: "one day at most, there will be a reply."


    "Good!"


    Gu Yong should go down.


    Cao Pi called for the soldiers and left with Gu Yong. Then Cao Pi ordered the soldiers to invite Xun you and Zhang Liao to discuss the matter.


    Cao Pi is the commander in chief, but in fact, Zhang Liao is the real person in charge.


    In this war, we have to listen to Zhang Liao''s arrangement.


    Zhang Liao and Xun you entered the camp, bowed their hands to Cao Pi, and then sat down.


    Cao Pi said straight to the point: "General Zhang, military adviser, Sun Quan sent envoy Gu Yong to surrender, saying that he was willing to submit himself to the state of Wei, and sent him to the throne. What do you think of this? "


    After hearing this, Zhang Liao looked calm, but he was thinking.


    Xun you was not surprised.


    Such things are also in line with Sun Quan''s style.


    Xun you asked, "what do you think of Shizi?"


    Adhering to the principle of not saying much, Cao Pi shook his head and said, "it''s hard for me to make a choice for a while, so I asked you to come and discuss with me. If the state of Wei did not accept Sun Quan, then Sun Quan would surely submit to Liu Xiu. "


    "At that time, won''t it set up a great enemy for the state of Wei?"


    "Although Wu and Chu fought for years, Sun Quan''s younger sister married Liu Xiu."


    "There is still an affinity between the two sides."


    "Based on this, my son hesitated."


    Cao Pi looked at Xun you and said, "military adviser, how likely do you think Sun Quan will fall to Liu Xiu?"


    His words seem to put forward ideas, but they are equivalent to not saying them.


    No decision!


    There''s no solution.


    Xun you stroked his beard and said, "if we don''t accept Sun Quan, I''m sure that Sun Quan will submit to Liu Xiu. However, Liu Xiu will not accept it. "


    As soon as Cao Pi heard it, he knew that it was the answer.


    It''s just, why?


    Cao Pi inquired: "military adviser, why are you so sure that Liu Xiu won''t accept it?"

 Chapter 714

    Xun you looked calm and explained, "Liu Xiu won''t accept Sun Quan for four reasons."


    Cao Pi raised his eyebrows.


    Four reasons?


    How did he feel that it was better for Liu Xiu to accept Sun Quan?


    In front of Xun you, Cao Pi suddenly felt that his IQ was not enough.


    Cao Pi said, "my son is all ears."


    Xun you said slowly: "first, this attack on the state of Wu was initiated by Liu Xiu, who proposed the alliance with the state of Wei."


    "From this we can see that Liu Xiu destroyed Wu Zhixin."


    "If Liu Xiu accepted Sun Quan, he would violate the alliance between Chu and Wei."


    "Liu Xiu took the lead in destroying the treaty between the two countries. Where is his faith?"


    "Between countries, interests are the main concern. But if Liu Xiu''s gains from violating the covenant are balanced with his losses from violating the covenant, and the losses from violating the covenant are greater, why should he violate the covenant? "


    Xun you talked with great eloquence and gave the first reason.


    Cao Pi said: "to win over Sun Quan, the benefits are obviously greater."


    Xun you said, "my son is Miao."


    After a pause, Xun you said, "second, the feud between Chu and Wu has never been eased."


    "Sun Jian died in Jingzhou because of Liu Biao."


    "Both sun CE, who has died, and Sun Quan, who is now, bear a grudge in mind."


    "When they arrived at Sun Quan, taishici and Lu Su betrayed Sun Quan and surrendered to Liu Xiu. After that, Zhang Dan, Zhou Tai, Lu Meng and others died under Liu Xiu. "


    "This hatred has long been engraved on my heart."


    "Liu Xiu is a wise man. He knows that hatred has long been remembered in the hearts of the state of Wu."


    "If Liu Xiuming knew this, would he accept Sun Quan?"


    "Is it not asking for trouble to accept Sun Quan?"


    Xun you said, "the feud between the two sides is also the key to aggravating Liu Xiu''s non violation of the covenant."


    Cao Pi turned his eyes and thought about Xun you''s analysis.


    This analysis makes sense.


    All of a sudden, a flash of light flashed through Cao Pi''s mind, and he immediately asked, "military strategist, what if Sun Quan is willing to give up military power? Once Sun Quan gave up military power, Liu Xiu would be able to win the States smoothly, and the state of Wu, even if there was hatred. However, without military power, why did Liu Xiu fear it? "


    As soon as Xun you heard Cao Pi''s rhetorical question, he had a touch of appreciation in his eyes.


    That''s to the point.


    Xun you explained: "the second question is the key, so this is the third point."


    "If Sun Quan wants to surrender, he can only surrender superficially. When he goes to the throne, he sends protons. That''s humiliation."


    "Sun Quan can submit to Liu Xiu on the surface, but he will not hand over military power."


    "The whole state of Wu and Liu Xiu hate each other so much. Will the ministers agree with Sun Quan''s submission? It can''t be. Neither Zhou Yu nor the rest of the generals will give up. "


    "The most important thing is that Sun Quan will not give up."


    "What''s the meaning of Sun Quan''s survival when he lost his right?"


    "Rather than that, he might as well fight to the death."


    Xun you looked firm and said, "Sun Quan''s obedience was based on the fact that he would not give up military power. Therefore, it is impossible for the state of Wu to really submit to Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu will not leave a Sun Quan who is still in danger. "


    After hearing this, Cao Pi suddenly realized.


    At this moment, he really understood Xun you''s analysis.


    I see!


    I see!


    Cao Pi''s heart was very happy, and his mind felt very clear. He said: "military strategist, I think of the fourth reason. Please correct me."


    Xun you said not humbly but not haughtily: "please tell me, my son!"


    Zhang Liao sat aside and did not interrupt.


    He looked at Cao Pi and Xun you, you come and I go, with a smile on his face.


    Cao Pi has the ability, which is a good thing.


    If Cao Pi could not do anything, Zhang Liao would feel that it was not right.


    Cao Pi''s eyes twinkled with light and said: "fourth, Liu Xiu will not let the situation of two strong and one weak continue. If Liu Xiu ostensibly accepted Sun Quan''s surrender and allowed him to continue to occupy the six counties in Jiangdong, the world would still be divided into three parts. "


    "The situation of tripartite confrontation will not change."


    "If Liu Xiu wants to rule the country, he must destroy the state of Wu before he can fight against the state of Wei."


    "Then, a showdown."


    "With Sun Quan in a corner, no matter how Chu and Wei fought, or both were defeated, or one was strong and the other was weak, they could not change the tripartite balance."


    "After the fight between Chu and Wei, Sun Quan was able to help the weak and maintain a tripartite situation."


    With expectation in his eyes, Cao Pi said, "is that so, military strategist?"


    Xun you said with a smile: "my son is wise!"


    This is the most important reason.Xun you said: "in fact, it''s the same with the king of Wei. The king of Wei didn''t want to maintain the tripartite confrontation. He wanted to break the tripartite confrontation, destroy the state of Wu, and then fight Liu Xiu. "


    Cao Pi said, "I understand."


    As soon as the words changed, Cao Pi asked, "military strategist, since Gu Yong is here, can you make use of him?"


    When Xun you heard Cao Pi''s words, he recognized Cao Pi in his heart.


    It''s the sharpness of the battlefield.


    No fighter can be missed.


    As Sun Quan''s envoy, Gu Yong came to Guangling County, which is what can be used.


    Xun you said: "the prince is wise. Since Gu Yong is here, he should make full use of it. If we grasp this opportunity well, we will go south to Wujun, and it will be much smoother. "


    Cao Pi asked: "how to operate?"


    Xun you said, "it''s very simple. It takes time. The crown prince stabilized Gu Yong for the time being, at least for a day or two, to let our soldiers prepare to cross the river. Once you cross the Yangtze River and enter Wujun, things will be much easier. "


    "The most important thing in the state of Wu is the natural moat."


    "Once the natural moat is broken, Sun Quan will lose his chance."


    Xun you said: "my son, Gu Yong is still in our camp, Sun Quan''s soldiers are still on guard, and we are quietly moving at this time, which is to seize the opportunity."


    Cao Pi said excitedly: "I understand!"


    Xun you and Zhang Liao got up to leave, while Cao Pi stayed in the camp and did not rush to summon Gu Yong.


    As time goes by, it''s already dark.


    In the evening.


    Gu Yong had dinner and was still in the camp.


    One day later, Cao Pi has not given any reply.


    Gu Yong was a little anxious. He would be delayed here for one more day, and Liu Xiu might have a greater impact, and even Cao Jun would take action.


    Can''t wait!


    Gu Yong stood up and rushed out of the camp.


    As soon as he got to the gate of the camp, he was stopped by the soldiers at the gate and was not allowed to leave.


    Seeing this scene, Gu Yong felt even worse.


    Gu Yong pulled out the hairpin from Jinxian''s crown, put it to his neck, and said in a deep voice, "go and tell Cao Pi immediately that I want to see him. If he doesn''t meet, I''ll kill myself immediately. "


    His words are sharp and his momentum is even more aggressive.


    When the soldiers saw this scene, they were all startled. They quickly stabilized Gu Yong, and then went to inform Cao Pi.


    When Cao Pi got the news and knew that he could not delay any longer, he agreed to meet him.


    Gu Yong came to the central army tent, saw Cao Pi, and said, "son, one day has passed. But you haven''t seen me yet. What''s your plan? "


    Cao Pi said with a smile, "Gu Yong, tomorrow morning will be a day."


    "You..."


    Gu Yong was very angry.


    Cao Pi is such a rogue.


    Gu Yong said in a deep voice: "if the son of the world is not willing to accept the state of Wu, Gu Yong will leave."


    As soon as he brushed his big sleeve, he turned around and went out.

 Chapter 715

    Cao Pi couldn''t let Gu Yong leave. He said: "wait a minute!"


    Gu Yong stopped and turned to look at Cao Pi.


    His face with an angry look, a pair of you Cao Pi do not give a reply, I will never give up expression.


    At this time, Gu Yong worried that Cao Pi was teasing him.


    Cao Pi said: "Gu Yong, it involves the affairs of the state of Wei and the state of Wu. Can such a thing be settled easily? Even if my son agreed to accept the state of Wu, would it be possible for Sun Quan to go to the throne and send him away? Obviously not. "


    At this time, Cao Pi tried to stabilize Gu Yong.


    As long as Gu Yong did not return to Wu County, the soldiers of Wu state would not act rashly for the time being.


    At most, the state of Wu is just preparing for war.


    During this period, Zhang Liao was able to deploy troops to prepare for the next war.


    Gu Yongshen said: "we can talk about the specific conditions slowly. But Shizi''s delay is not good for Wu. In particular, Shizi is dragging on like this. Once Liu Xiu conquers the state of Wu, it''s not good for the state of Wei. "


    Cao Pi sneered in his heart.


    Liu Xiu is in action, so is Zhang Liao.


    Gu Yong''s eyes twinkled and said, "son of a bitch, please give me a definite answer."


    Cao Pi said: "Gu Yong, I can tell you clearly. My son is willing to accept Wu, but the conditions given by Wu are not enough. "


    Gu Yong asked: "what more conditions?"


    Cao Pi said: "the state of Wu ceded Danyang County, Sun Quan went to the king''s office again, sent protons, and the state of Wei agreed to accept Sun Quan."


    On hearing this, Gu Yong''s face changed greatly.


    Danyang county is not only a big county in Wu state, but also an important one.


    Most importantly, once the Danyang county was ceded, it was tantamount to letting Cao''s army go through the long river moat, giving Cao Cao a bridgehead and a foothold in the south.


    With the bravery of Cao''s army, and without the obstruction of the Yangtze River, it was easy for Cao Cao to destroy the state of Wu.


    Gu Yong didn''t dare to agree to such a condition.


    On Sun Quan, Sun Quan would not agree.


    Gu Yong said, "my son, your condition is a lion''s big mouth. I can''t agree to such a condition. "


    Cao Pi shrugged, very helpless way: "you see, you see, you refused?"


    "So we have to negotiate."


    "The two sides still need to get in touch and discuss what kind of conditions Wu can offer."


    "In a word, just going to the king and sending protons is absolutely impossible."


    Although Cao Pi was fooling Gu Yong, he also gave the minimum conditions.


    Gu Yong is in a dilemma at the moment.


    He was also thinking about the truth of Cao Pi''s words.


    Gu Yongzheng said: "as for what conditions the state of Wu can offer, I must return to the state of Wu and report to my Lord before I can reply to my son."


    Cao Pi''s mind turned.


    Gu Yong left the camp, but he went back to deliver the message. He had to come again.


    During this period, Zhang Liao was able to make a leisurely layout.


    The next time Gu Yong comes back, everything will be ready for Zhang Liao and things will be convenient.


    Cao Pi said, "Mr. Gu, take a night off. Tomorrow morning, you can go south."


    Gu Yong shook his head and said, "no, time is pressing. I''ll go back tonight. However, since Shizi had the intention to accept the state of Wu, then the Wu parliament declared that he would submit to the state of Wei. "


    On hearing this, Cao Pi secretly scolded Gu Yong for his cunning.


    This purpose is obviously to alienate Wei and Chu.


    Cao Pi, of course, did not agree. He said, "in the absence of an agreement, my son did not agree that the state of Wu should submit to the state of Wei."


    "Mr. Gu, you should hurry back to Wu County, and then come back to Guangling county to discuss."


    "During this period, the relationship between Chu and Wei can not be destroyed."


    "Otherwise, the state of Wu would disintegrate the alliance between the state of Wei and the state of Chu without a single soldier?"


    Cao Pi said in a deep voice: "if Wu Guoru claims to obey the state of Wei, my son will order an attack."


    Gu Yong sighed.


    If Cao Pi agreed, things would be easier.


    What a pity!


    Gu Yong arched his hand and said, "I understand. Goodbye!"


    Cao Pi stood up and said, "my son, please send me to Mr. Gu."


    He took Gu Yong out of the camp and said, "Mr. Gu, you are a talent. You can see the situation of Wu. Even if you get through this, it''s hard. If you stay in the state of Wu, you will not be able to do anything. "


    Gu Yongzheng said: "please don''t say it again!"


    Cao Pi sighed with regret.


    It''s a pity that such a talent as Gu Yong will stay in Wu state.


    Seeing Gu Yong off, Cao Pi returned to the camp. He first went to Zhang Liao''s camp to talk about the situation and asked Zhang Liao to arrange it as soon as possible before returning to the camp to have a rest.¡­¡­


    Yuzhang County, Nanchang County.


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    A letter was placed on Zhou Yu''s desk.


    After reading it, Zhou Yu kept silent for a long time, and his face was full of anger.


    This letter is the decision of Sun Quan to submit himself to Liu Xiu, and to send the protons to the throne.


    Seeing such a letter, Zhou Yu felt humiliated.


    The king of Wu wanted to submit to Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu was still his enemy.


    At the end of last year, Liu Xiu defeated Liu Bei and brought down the chaos in Yizhou. Sun Quan wrote to Liu Xiu for peace. Today, it is the book to Liu Xiu.


    Zhou Yu felt uncomfortable.


    But Zhou Yu also knew that he was helpless.


    The state of Chu and the state of Wei joined hands to attack the state of Wu. In such a battle, Zhou Yu boasted that he was intelligent and could not cope with it.


    How can two monsters fight against the weak state of Wu together?


    But once Sun Quan''s decision is informed, the people in the army will be in turmoil.


    "Somebody


    After a long consideration, Zhou Yu made a decision.


    If we can''t hide the information, we can only tell the following generals.


    When a soldier came in, Zhou Yu said, "summon the generals to the barracks to discuss business."


    After a short time, Xu Sheng and other generals entered the barracks one after another.


    Zhou Yu did not hide, but directly told the public about Sun Quan''s arrangement.


    As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar.


    The expression on each face is incomparably dignified.


    Zhou Yu glanced at the people under his command and said, "the king did this to protect the state of Wu. Otherwise, the state of Chu and the state of Wei would be killed, and the state of Wu would not be able to resist. He was confident that he could stop Liu Xiu, but what about the state of Wei? Our heavy troops are stationed in Lujiang and Yuzhang. How can Wu and Danyang resist? "


    "Now, the king can only do so."


    "However, we can''t relax at all. We must guard against sticking to it."


    "As long as Yuzhang and Lujiang are still in the hands of the king, we will have a chance to revenge."


    "Once Yuzhang and Lujiang fall, Wu will be defeated."


    Zhou Yu stood up, clasped his hands, and said, "ladies and gentlemen, the state of Wu has reached a critical period of life and death. Please do your best to stabilize the morale of the army. And this time, it was Liu Xiu who took the initiative to fight. Whether Liu Xiu would accept the king''s surrender remains to be seen. War may be on the verge of breaking out. Please keep your spirits up and don''t slack off. Zhou Yu is here to thank you


    At this time, Zhou Yu could only use his feelings to win over others.


    In the face of such a situation, he also felt clumsy.


    When people saw Zhou Yu''s face, they all responded and expressed their willingness to listen to Zhou Yu''s arrangement.


    Zhou Yu was relieved when all the generals joined hands.


    Although it is dangerous now, the army should not be in disorder, and the morale of the army must be more stable, otherwise the war will not continue.


    ¡­¡­


    Jiangxia County, Qichun county.


    This position belongs to Tai Shici. It''s not easy to break Zhou Yu''s defense.


    In particular, the waterways of Lujiang River and Yuzhang River are crisscross, and Zhou Yu''s navy has a great advantage.


    After hearing all the news, Liu Xiu didn''t rush to start the war. Instead, he ordered the sentinel to inquire about the situation and find out Zhou Yu''s current situation before he was ready to start the war.


    Hasty war is not a wise choice.

 Chapter 716

    "Newspaper!"


    Outside the camp, a soldier reported.


    The soldier entered the camp and said, "king, outside the camp, there is a man who calls himself the envoy of King Wu and has come to see the king."


    Liu Xiu said, "please!"


    Today, the state of Chu and the state of Wu are at war, and Sun Quan has sent envoys. This is interesting.


    After a short time, Sun Quan''s envoys entered the camp.


    Liu Xiu looked at the visitors with admiration in his heart.


    The visitor was dressed in a black robe, wearing a Jinxian crown, a jade belt around his waist and long boots. He was tall, handsome and extraordinary.


    Entering the big account, the middle-aged man said, "Wu Guo, Zhao Zi, meet the king of Chu."


    Liu Xiu was surprised to hear Zhao Zi''s name.


    Sun Quan sent Zhao Zi.


    Among the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Zi rarely appeared, but left a lot of money.


    According to historical records, after Guan Yu was killed and Jingzhou was captured by the state of Wu, Liu Bei was angry and attacked the state of Wu. As soon as the two sides fought, Liu Bei won in succession, and Sun Quan had no resistance.


    In order to protect himself, Sun Quan asked Liu Bei for peace.


    However, Liu Bei didn''t agree and was determined to conquer Wu.


    Sun Quan saw that Liu Bei was coming fiercely, and his elite soldiers could not resist. In addition, there was the state of Wei in the north, so he was also worried that Cao Pi would take advantage of the fire and rob.


    In desperation, Sun Quan went up to Cao Pi and surrendered to him.


    Sun Quan sent Zhao Zi to Yecheng to ask Cao Pi for peace.


    When Zhao Zi saw Cao Pi, Cao Pi looked down on Sun Quan and held up airs. At that time, Cao Pi, the monarch of Wei, Shu and Wu, had the highest talent.


    Although Cao Pi could not compare with Cao Zhi, he was also proficient in poetry and Fu and was a man of great talent.


    In the presence of Zhao Zi, Cao Pi asked Sun Quan about his literary attainments?


    Cao Pi''s intention was to suppress Sun Quan.


    However, Zhao Zi''s answer is quite wonderful.


    Zhao Zi didn''t answer Cao Pi''s question directly. He said humbly: "King Wu has ten thousand boats floating in the river, and he has one million armor. He has the ability to serve the people and is determined to keep his strategy. In his spare time, he also read books and spread history, but he didn''t follow the Confucian scholars to pick up chapters and sentences, only to adopt the gist and observe the gist. "


    In a word, Cao Pi was embarrassed.


    Cao Pi was proud of his mastery of poetry and Fu and his outstanding talent.


    In Zhao Zi''s reply, he said that Sun Quan''s mind was all about the government, just reading in his spare time. The implication is that as a monarch, he has to study poetry and books thoroughly, which is to abandon the essence and pursue the end.


    After choking on Zhao Zi''s words, Cao Pi was not reconciled.


    Immediately, Cao Pi changed direction.


    Following Zhao Zi''s words, Cao Pi asked: "Sun Quanzhi is in charge of Wu state, but Wei state wants to attack Wu state. Can Wu state resist it?"


    The state of Wei was powerful, and Cao Pi put pressure on others.


    Zhao Zi was still plain, and he replied: "the state of Wei had the elite who conquered the state of Wu, and the state of Wu also had a long way to resist. Moreover, the navy of the state of Wu is unparalleled in the world, which is enough to ensure that the state of Wu will not fall. "


    Among the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, the cavalry of Wei was the most powerful, and the water army of Wu was the most powerful.


    There is no doubt about it.


    When Cao Pi heard Zhao Zi''s words, he was speechless.


    Zhao Zi''s humble and unassuming reply made Cao Pi unable to gain the upper hand.


    In the end, Cao Pi gave up making trouble and asked, "how many people are there like Mr. Wu?"


    Zhao Zi, a little modest, replied, "there are no less than 100 people in the state of Wu. Like me, there are countless cars. "


    After hearing this, Cao Pi praised Zhao Zi very much.


    Finally, Cao Pi accepted Sun Quan as a minister.


    In this way, Sun Quan''s northern defense line was stable, so he turned to resist Liu Bei''s attack, and finally won the battle of Yiling.


    Zhao Zi, who doesn''t appear much, is really a talent.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes twinkled and said, "Zhao Zi, let me guess what you''ve come for. Did Sun Quan send you to seek peace? "


    Zhao said: "I admire the wisdom of the king of Chu."


    Liu xiudao said: "everyone in the world knows that this crusade against the state of Wu was led by the king. If I stop halfway, what do people think of me? "


    Zhao said: "with the war, there will be countless people affected. If the king of Chu stopped fighting, the people would only applaud. Not only will the king of Chu not sweep the floor with dignity, but he will make the people respect him even more. "


    Liu xiudao said, "but I''m determined to take the kingdom of Wu."


    After hearing this, Zhao Zi passed a dignified look on his face.


    Liu Xiuben is a man of unparalleled talent. It is not easy for him to persuade Liu Xiu.


    Zhao said: "the king of Chu can only push the state of Wu to the state of Wei."


    "Our Lord asked the king of Chu for peace. First, the state of Wu fought on two fronts and was embarrassed by the heavy burden. Second, the state of Wu and the state of Chu were related by marriage, and their legs were broken and their tendons were still attached."


    "It''s true that the state of Wu was defeated by the state of Wei and the state of Chu."


    "But if the state of Wu submits to any side, it will strengthen the power of one side and make this side have overwhelming strength.""King Chu, please think twice."


    Zhao Zi''s words are neither humble nor overbearing, and his expression is still calm and self-contained.


    In his description, Sun Quan''s obedience to Liu Xiu is based on sun Shangxiang''s face.


    Otherwise, Sun Quan would submit to Cao Cao and the state of Chu would be in danger.


    Liu Xiu secretly told Zhao Zi that he was intelligent and accessible, and saw the key to the problem at a glance. However, Liu Xiu was not afraid.


    Liu xiudao: "Zhao Zi, the key to the problem is, will Cao Cao accept Sun Quan?"


    Hearing the speech, Zhao Zi''s eyes flashed a look of fear.


    Zhao Zi''s words are threatening to hit Liu Xiu''s weak point. But Liu Xiu''s counterattack also hit the weakness of Wu.


    Once Cao Cao did not accept Wu''s surrender, Wu would fall into a two line battle.


    This is the most fatal weakness.


    Zhao said that he would not admit Liu Xiu''s words, let alone show weakness. Once he admitted Liu Xiu''s words, his mission was a complete failure.


    Zhao Zi smiles and says in a deep voice: "the king of Chu is fallacious!"


    Liu xiudao: "I''d like to hear it in detail!"


    Zhao Zizheng said: "the state of Wu is subordinate to the state of Wei. The power of the state of Wei is greatly increased. How can Cao Cao miss the chance to destroy the state of Chu?"


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he burst out laughing.


    Laughter, with banter, more disdain.


    Zhao said: "why does the king of Chu laugh?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "if Sun Quan gives up his military power and goes to Ye City as a prisoner, I believe Cao Cao will agree. Of course, if Sun Quan gives up his military power and goes to Xiangyang as a prisoner, I will also agree. "


    "But is Sun Quan willing?"


    "Sun Quan''s surrender to peace is just like this on the surface. It''s really not worth mentioning."


    "As long as Sun Quan stays in the state of Wu for one day, the state of Wu is the state of the state."


    "Such a state of Wu would not listen to the dispatch at all."


    "Cao Cao took over the state of Wu. When he attacked the state of Chu, Sun Quan might not have stabbed Cao Cao directly."


    Liu Xiu said: "Zhao Zi, will Cao Cao accept such Sun Quan?"


    Zhao Zi''s face was dignified when he heard Liu Xiu''s words.


    Liu Xiu''s analysis can be said to be the most important core.


    When Sun Quan surrendered, he would send protons at most, but he would never hand over military power.


    Zhao Zi still shook his head, but he still did not admit defeat. He said: "the king of Chu is poor. The king of Wu obeys the king of Wei, and he should help the king of Wei. How can he go against morality and attack the king of Wei again?"


    Liu Xiu gave a cold smile.


    Although Zhao Zi is good at debating, the situation is like this now. Even if there is a gap in Zhao''s mind, it is difficult for a skillful woman to make a meal without rice.


    This is the general situation, so it is difficult for Zhao to do anything.


    Liu xiudao: "a fool can know that once the state of Wei destroys the state of Chu, the next step is the state of Wu."


    "Sun Quan is such a human being that he can''t see this?"


    "So even if Sun Quan surrendered to Cao Cao, he would eventually turn against Cao Cao and would not let Cao Cao destroy the state of Chu. What Sun Quan most hopes to see is that Chu and Wei are both defeated, so that he can make a difference. "


    "Unfortunately, I won''t give him this chance."


    "Similarly, Cao Cao will not give him this opportunity."


    Liu Xiu stared at Zhao Zi and said, "Zhao Zi, do you understand now?"


    Zhao Zi swallowed his saliva and felt helpless.


    In the face of Liu Xiu, he not only did not persuade Liu Xiu, but let himself waver.


    Zhao Zi gritted his teeth and said, "the king of Chu, before I was sent as an envoy, the king of Wu also asked me to say something."


    Liu Xiumei head a pick, way: "what words?"

 Chapter 717

    Zhao Zi''s eyes were solemn, and he said: "if the king of Chu refuses, my Lord will fight to death."


    Liu Xiu said: "in the face of Chu and Wei attack, Wu can defend it?"


    Zhao Zi said strongly: "once the state of Chu and the state of Wei attack, our Lord will not resist Cao Cao. He will dispatch all the troops of the state of Wu to fight against the state of Chu. Once the state of Chu is damaged, can the king of Chu resist Cao Cao again? "


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice, "Zhao Zi, are you threatening me?"


    Zhao said: "the state of Wu is at the end of its tether. What can''t it do?"


    Liu Xiu stared at Zhao Zi and said, "what a Zhao Zi!"


    Zhao Zi is neither humble nor arrogant: "thanks for the praise of the king of Chu, I am not worthy of it."


    It is not Zhao Zi''s wish to go this far.


    If Liu Xiu was willing to strike out and accept the surrender of Wu, Zhao Zi would not say that.


    However, Liu Xiu made it clear that he wanted to refuse.


    Once Liu Xiu refused, the west side of Wu was in trouble.


    If Cao Cao refuses again, the state of Wu will have no chance to turn over.


    Zhao Zi stared at Liu Xiu and said, "king of Chu, it''s all up to you. Please think twice."


    In his heart, he also looked forward to Liu Xiu''s agreement.


    Once Liu Xiu agreed with Wu to seek peace, Wu would have a long way to live, or at least a chance to survive.


    Liu Xiu''s mouth rose and his eyes showed a touch of contempt.


    Threat?


    Ha ha


    If Liu Xiu was threatened, he would change the policy of the state of Chu, and he would not be in charge of the state of Chu.


    "Zhao Zi, I don''t accept threats," Liu said


    Boom!!!


    Zhao Zi''s mind was like thunder, suddenly became blank.


    Face expression, also suddenly have a touch of stagnation.


    Failed!


    He failed in his mission to Chu.


    Zhao Zi was a little stunned, but he recovered in an instant and said, "King Chu, I hope you won''t regret today''s decision."


    Liu Xiu said: "I have never regretted it."


    Attacking the state of Wu is the next major policy.


    Once Liu Xiu stopped attacking the state of Wu and Cao Cao wanted to withdraw, Sun Quan was given a chance to breathe.


    In the case of Sun Quan, Liu Xiu could not destroy Cao Cao, and Cao Cao could not destroy Liu Xiu. The world would continue to maintain the tripartite situation.


    However, Liu Xiu did not want to.


    Liu Xiu wants to rule the world.


    Zhao Zi sighed in his heart and said, "king of Chu, Zhao Zi is leaving."


    Liu xiudao said: "tell Sun Quan to put down his military power and enter Xiangyang. We can protect his wealth and wealth for the rest of his life."


    Zhao Zi stared at Liu Xiu and said in a loud voice, "is the king of Chu willing to put down his military power and live a rich life in the state of Wu?"


    Liu xiudao: "this king and Sun Quan are in different situations."


    Zhao Zi said: "no matter what the situation is, my Lord Zhengzheng man, the head of a country, how can he fake life and death to others?"


    Liu xiudao: "very good. I''m looking forward to Sun Quan''s final performance."


    "Goodbye!"


    Zhao Zi turned and left.


    After Zhao Zi left, Liu Xiu called Tai Shi Ci and Zhang Yan and asked them how they were preparing for the war.


    Tai Shici and Zhang Yan both answered that they were ready.


    Liu Xiu did not delay any longer, and directly ordered to attack Lujiang County. At the same time, Liu Xiu sent a messenger to Huang Zhong of Jiaozhou to let him attack.


    Since then, Chu''s war machine has been in full operation.


    Shortly after Liu Xiu ordered, a letter from Xiangyang came to Liu Xiu''s desk.


    This letter belongs to sun Shangxiang.


    Sun Shangxiang stayed in Xiangyang and received a letter sent by Sun Quan. She cried when she saw the blood on the letter.


    After all, Sun Quan is her elder brother.


    But sun Shangxiang also knows Liu Xiu''s situation.


    It is impossible for Chu and Wu to be at peace or without war.


    In sun Shangxiang''s reply, he did not ask Liu Xiu to stop attacking the state of Wu, but once again asked Liu Xiu to leave blood for sun.


    By doing so, sun Shangxiang failed to live up to Wu Guotai''s wishes.


    However, there is no way to do it.


    On one side are Sun Quan and Wu Guotai, and on the other side are her husband.


    Sun Shangxiang doesn''t want Liu xiunan to do it, and what she can do for the sun family is to ask Liu Xiu to leave his descendants.


    After seeing the letter, Liu Xiu asked about the messenger? Liu Xiucai knew that Sun Quan had sent someone to find sun Shangxiang.


    Liu Xiu also knew that sun Shangxiang must be suffering.


    But that''s what war is.


    If Liu Xiu doesn''t attack the state of Wu now, maybe the situation will turn around in the future and the state of Wu will attack the state of Chu.


    Liu Xiu had no choice but to take different positions.Liu Xiu wrote a letter for the messenger to take back. He didn''t write much and answered sun Shangxiang''s request. He must stay for sun. This is the only thing Liu Xiu can do.


    ¡­¡­


    After leaving Jiangxia, Zhao Zi rushed all the way to Nanchang County by water.


    He entered the barracks and met Zhou Yu.


    With a gloomy look on his face, Zhao said, "governor Dadu, I have failed to complete the order given by the king. Liu Xiu refused to accept Wu''s surrender and insisted on the first World War. "


    After hearing this, Zhou Yu''s face suddenly cooled down.


    Zhao Zi added: "Liu Xiu didn''t agree to surrender. I threatened him. It is said that the state of Wu will not resist the state of Wei in the face of the attack of the state of Chu and the state of Wei, and will fight against the state of Chu with all its strength. Liu Xiu is still not under threat. "


    Zhou Yu took a deep breath, but suddenly he felt relieved.


    "If Liu Xiu wants to fight, Zhou Yu will fight!"


    "Just Liu Xiu, why are you afraid?"


    "Over the years, Liu Xiu killed Zhou Tai and LV Meng, and even captured Tai Shici, Lu Su and others."


    "Every pile, every piece, is Liu Xiu''s work."


    "If you want to fight now, fight to death."


    "I, Zhou Yu, don''t be afraid of him?"


    Zhou Yu stood up, his face proud, his eyes full of fighting spirit. In front of Liu Xiu, he was defeated many times, and even decadent.


    Now Liu Xiu is going to fight a decisive battle. How can he be afraid?


    Big deal, just death!


    Zhou Yu looked at Zhao Zi and said, "Zhao Zi, go back and tell the king, please don''t worry about Yuzhang and Lujiang. Zhou Yu is here, Yuzhang and Lujiang are here. Please concentrate on dealing with Cao Cao. "


    "Here it is


    Zhao Zi agreed to come down.


    Zhao Zi also knew that time was urgent. He didn''t delay and left.


    After seeing Zhao Zi off, Zhou Yu raised his account.


    All the generals under his command gathered in the central army''s account.


    Zhou Yu looked around at all the generals under his command and said in a loud voice, "the king of Wu asked Liu Xiu to surrender for the overall interests of the state of Wu. However, Liu Xiu has refused."


    "Liu Xiu wants to destroy the state of Wu."


    "The governor didn''t believe in evil, but he wanted to see how Liu Xiu destroyed Wu?"


    "Are you willing to fight with the governor?"


    Zhou Yu looked at the generals under his command, with pride and self-confidence on his face and endless fighting spirit.


    Zhou Yu is not afraid of Liu Xiu.


    Xu Sheng and other generals, looking at Zhou Yu''s high-spirited face, were also enthusiastic.


    This is the governor of the state of Wu!


    This is Jiangdong zhoulang!


    "We will follow the governor to the death and fight against the state of Chu together!"


    Xu Sheng answered with a clasp.


    "To follow the governor to the death and fight against the state of Chu together!"


    "To follow the governor to the death and fight against the state of Chu together!"


    All the people answered in unison, and their faces were full of fighting spirit. They were all moved by Zhou Yu.

 Chapter 718

    Wu County, Wu County!


    Wu Wang Fu.


    In the study.


    Gu Yong stood in front of Sun Quan.


    Gu Yong looked solemn and reported: "king, just going to the king''s name and sending protons, Cao Pi didn''t agree. They had to cede Danyang County before they agreed to accept Wu''s surrender. "


    Sun Quan''s face turned black and blue.


    Cede Danyang County!


    Good idea!


    Once Danyang county was ceded, the state of Wu could be destroyed at any time after the army of Wei entered.


    Sun Quan''s confidence in resisting Cao Cao came from the long river.


    With his Navy on the river, Cao Cao''s army was always unable to cross the river, so the state of Wu was safe.


    Sun Quan said in a deep voice: "Cao Pi really knows how to open his mouth. Hum, maybe he''ll wait for us to cede Danyang county and attack Wu directly."


    Gu Yong said: "I also have this worry!"


    Sun Quan was black and depressed.


    Gu Yong said, "king, do you have any news from Liu Xiu?"


    Sun Quan said: "not yet!"


    Speaking of this, Sun Quan gritted his teeth and said, "even there is a letter from my little sister, which has never been answered."


    Words, with a trace of resentment.


    In order to add weight, he cut his finger and wrote it in blood.


    However, there is no news yet.


    Gu Yong turned his mind and said, "king, if Liu Xiu doesn''t accept surrender, what will he do?"


    This is about the worst.


    Once Liu Xiu didn''t accept it, the state of Wu was at the end of its tether.


    On hearing this, Sun Quan swallowed his saliva, looked dignified and sighed, "Gu Yong, I don''t know what to do."


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier entered.


    "Wang Wang, Zhao Zi asked to see you," the soldier reported


    "Xuan!"


    Sun Quan''s urgent answer.


    Zhao Zi''s return means that Liu Xiu has a result.


    The soldiers went down to deliver the news. It wasn''t long before Zhao Zi came to the study.


    Zhao Zi knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowed to the ground with his head, and said: "I have a disgraceful mission. Please surrender your crime."


    Sun Quan immediately understood.


    Obviously, Zhao Zi''s mission failed.


    For a time, Sun Quan''s mind was blank. The failure of Zhao Zi''s mission declared the failure of Wu''s opportunity to make use of his strength. It was impossible to delay any longer, and it was the most dangerous time.


    Sun Quan took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "get up and talk."


    "Thank you, king."


    Zhao Zi looked rather depressed, which was related to the future of Wu, but he failed.


    Sun Quan calmed himself down and asked, "what is the specific situation?"


    Zhao said: "Liu Xiu does not accept the surrender of the king, saying that unless the king enters Xiangyang, he will be relieved of military power."


    "No way!"


    Sun Quan said directly.


    To solve the problem of military power, he had to enter Xiangyang, so he became a caged bird, and the state of Wu was completely destroyed. Even if the state of Wu is to be destroyed, it is not the destruction of Wufeng, but a fight to the end.


    Zhao Zi also said: "the minister threatened Liu Xiu that if Liu Xiu did not accept the surrender of the state of Wu, in the face of the attack of the state of Chu and the state of Wei, the state of Wu would fight against the state of Chu with all his strength, or at least hurt the state of Chu. Unfortunately, Liu Xiu is not afraid of threats. He still wants to fight us. "


    Sun Quan said: "this time, Liu Xiu is determined to perish Wu."


    "Somebody


    Sun Quan said.


    The soldiers entered and stood respectfully in the room.


    Sun Quan said, "order Zhang Zhao, Lu Xun, Zhu Zhi, bu Jia and Lu Ji to come to the palace for discussion."


    "Here it is


    The soldiers went down to make arrangements.


    Sun Quan looked at Gu Yong and Zhao Zi and said, "sit down and think about how to deal with Chu and Wu."


    Zhao said: "king, on the way back, I went to Nanchang to see the governor. Dudu said, "please don''t worry about the war between Lujiang and Yuzhang. He will fight to the end. Dudu asked the king to deal with the army of Wei."


    Sun Quan nodded, but did not speak.


    About a quarter of an hour later, there was a sound of footwork outside the room.


    Zhang Zhao, Lu Xun, Zhu Zhi, bu Jia and Lu Ji all entered the room and bowed to Sun Quan.


    Sun Quan asked the people to sit down and said, "Gu Yong''s mission to the state of Wei failed. The state of Wei didn''t accept the king''s request to surrender. He had to cede Danyang county. Liu Xiu was more direct and refused to accept surrender. To call you here is to discuss the next strategy. "


    When Zhang Zhao and others heard this, their faces changed greatly.


    The conditions offered by the state of Wei were too harsh, and Liu Xiu was resolute.


    The state of Wu is in danger!


    The hearts of all the people are hanging in the air.


    Sun Quan also said, "tell me about it. Next, how should Wu go?"Everyone was silent.


    Everyone here is a person with a strategic mind, but if there is another strategic mind, they will not be able to deal with the current situation.


    Lu Xun took the lead in saying: "king, the lesser of the two evils. I''m afraid we can only rely on the conditions of the state of Wei. "


    Sun Quan said: "the state of Wu ordered the king to cede Danyang county. Once he ceded Danyang County, Cao''s army would go through the long river. If the state of Wei attacks, what should we do? "


    Lu Xun''s eyes twinkled, and said: "king, it''s to use Danyang county to make a concerted effort to damage the state of Wei."


    Sun Quan brightened his eyes and said, "do you mean false surrender?"


    Lu Xun said, "great Wang Yingming."


    "Most of the governors were in Yuzhang and Lujiang County to resist the Chu army. And the king pretended to surrender to the state of Wei, saying that he was willing to cede Danyang county and lure Cao Jun into the urn. "


    "As long as Cao''s army is defeated."


    "Then, in a short time, it is difficult for Cao Cao to launch another attack."


    "In this way, the king will have a chance to breathe."


    Lu Xun looks calm, a look of planning for Sun Quan.


    Lu Ji takes a look at Lu Xun and doubts in his heart. At this time, how can Lu Xun give advice to Sun Quan?


    However, Lu Ji did not speak.


    Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao and said, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"


    Zhang Zhao said: "at present, we can only be a living horse doctor with a dead horse. We can only act according to Lu Xun''s plan."


    Sun Quan turned his eyes and looked at Gu Yong.


    Gu Yong also said: "king, now that the state of Wu has reached the last moment, we can only fight against it. If you cede Danyang County, the state of Wu will be annexed by the state of Wei at any time. If the war is won, the state of Wu will have a chance to breathe. "


    Zhu Zhi agreed with Lu Xun''s suggestion.


    Sun Quan said: "Lu Xun, how did you plan the detailed plan?"


    If we want to operate this war, we can''t make it clear in three or two sentences. There must be a step-by-step plan.


    Immediately, Lu Xun explained the plan.


    After hearing this, Sun Quan discussed with Zhang Zhao, Zhu Zhi, Gu Yong, Zhao Zi and others, revised part of Lu Xun''s plan, and finally determined the strategy of false surrender. Then Gu Yong sent another mission to Guangling county to reply the news.


    Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun as the main general to plan the war.


    When everything is arranged properly, the people will disperse.


    Lu Xun and Lu Ji left the palace and took a carriage to the palace.


    Lu Ji said, "Bo Yan, do you really plan for Sun Quan?"


    Lu Xun said with a smile, "what does uncle think?"


    Lu Ji shook his head and said, "I can''t see through you. I don''t understand your intention to help Sun Quan."


    Lu Xun''s eyes twinkled, solemnly said: "Lu family has already decided to surrender to the king of Chu, but before the surrender, if we can use the forces under Sun Quan''s command to damage the power of Wei, isn''t it very good?"


    Lu Ji understood and said, "you are going to use the power of Sun Quan as the capital to surrender to Liu Xiu."


    Lu Xun said, "yes, it''s not right either."


    "I really want to use this war to hit the state of Wei, in order to play my Lu Xun''s prestige."


    "The most important thing is to weaken Sun Quan''s power."


    "On the surface, if we defeat Wei''s army, Wu has a chance to breathe. However, the state of Wei is a giant. How can it give up after suffering a great loss? If the state of Wei suffers a great loss, it will still kill him. "


    "Doing so only further angered the state of Wei and consumed the power of the state of Wu."


    Lu Xun said, "uncle, this is my plan."


    Lu Ji was a little worried and said, "it''s a big deal. You have to be careful. I have to tell Liu Xiu about it. Otherwise, you have done so much in vain. "


    "Of course," Lu said


    They were chatting and laughing. When they came back, they were busy.

 Chapter 719

    Guangling county.


    Gu Yong came here again with humiliation in his heart.


    This time, I''m begging for help.


    Even though Gu Yong knew it was Lu Xun''s plan, he was still not calm.


    Weak countries have no rights!


    He was born in the state of Wu, and his national strength was weak, so he couldn''t stand up straight.


    What Gu Yongneng did was to strive for the interests of Sun Quan.


    When he came outside the camp, Gu Yong asked to go through. Cao Pi soon got the news and asked people to take Gu Yong into the army tent.


    Cao Pi said: "Mr. Gu, we meet again."


    Gu Yong said, "the envoy of the state of Wu, Gu Yong, pay homage to my son."


    Cao Pi said, "Mr. Gu doesn''t need to be polite."


    After a pause, Cao Pi said, "what news has Mr. Gu brought to my son? Are we enemies or allies


    Gu Yongzheng color way: "return to my son, my Lord is willing to submit to the king of Wei, and cede Danyang county."


    Cao Pi''s sword eyebrows were picked.


    In his heart, he was really surprised.


    Sun Quan actually agreed to cede Danyang county?


    This is a surprise.


    Danyang county is very important in the geographical position of Wu state. Once it was ceded to Danyang County, Wu state was completely exposed in front of Wei state.


    Cao Pi did not believe that Sun Quan could not understand this situation.


    Even if Sun Quan didn''t understand, would the ministers of Wu not understand?


    But in the end, Sun Quan chose this path.


    Cao Pi showed a smile and said, "Mr. Gu, Sun Quan is willing to submit to the state of Wei. My son, on behalf of the state of Wei, accepted the surrender of the state of Wu. "


    But Gu Yong asked, "can the prince be the master?"


    This is the key.


    Although Cao Pi was the commander in chief of the Wu Kingdom, it was not a trivial matter to accept the Wu Kingdom.


    He did not trust Cao Pi.


    So, ask again.


    Cao Pi looked as usual and said, "my son is naturally in charge. Especially after Mr. Gu left Guangling County, my son has already sent letters back to Yecheng 800 Li in a hurry. My father wrote back and said, "accept the surrender of Wu."


    Speaking of this, Cao Pi stopped for a moment.


    Cao Pi said: "of course, there is another condition for father."


    Gu Yong asked, "what are the conditions?"


    Cao Pi said: "the state of Wu is subordinate to the state of Wei, and Danyang county must make delivery immediately. Then, the state of Wei will use troops against the state of Chu. At that time, the state of Wu will attack Jiangxia county and Changsha County. In this war, the state of Wu must fully cooperate, otherwise, the army of the state of Wei will not mind attacking Wu County from Danyang county. "


    From the attack on Wu County in Danyang County, there was no natural moat.


    It was a lot easier for the Wei army.


    After listening, Gu Yong did not get angry, but felt at ease.


    If Cao Cao didn''t answer, Cao Cao didn''t have the conditions. Instead, Gu Yong thought it was unreliable. Maybe Cao Pi had a conspiracy.


    Now, when Cao Pi said that, Gu Yong was relieved.


    Especially when the state of Wei had to go to Danyang county first, Lu Xun had a chance.


    In a short time, the state of Wei could not mobilize the army to attack the state of Wu.


    Gu Yong said: "the conditions of my son are not harsh, and my Lord is willing to attack Chu. Since Shizi agrees, I will return to Wu County immediately and ask my king to withdraw the officials of Wu state in Danyang county. "


    Cao Pi said: "Mr. Gu has come all the way. It''s better to have a day off. Anyway, the state of Wei and the state of Wu have reached an agreement. "


    Gu Yong shook his head and said, "time is urgent. I dare not delay. In particular, Yuzhang county and Lujiang County were attacked by the state of Chu, which put great pressure on the state of Wu. "


    When Cao Pi heard this, he was very happy.


    The state of Wu was attacked by Liu Xiu, and it was time for crisis.


    Cao Pi said: "Guangling county is in the north of the Yangtze River. If my son wants to lead his army to the south of Danyang County, he has to cross the Yangtze River. Gu Yong, when you go back, let Sun Quan tell you to withdraw from the Yangtze River. My son will lead his troops across the river. "


    Gu Yong said: "don''t worry, my Lord has arranged for Lu Xun to wait for orders in Danyang county. The next time I go to Danyang county and tell the state of Wei and Wu about the alliance, Lu Xun will go to order to remove the Yangtze River guard. "


    "Good!"


    Cao Pi''s face was full of smiles.


    Here''s the chance!


    Cao Pi led his army to the south of Wu, and the chance came to seize Wu.


    Cao Pi got up and said, "it''s a pity that Mr. Gu doesn''t want to work for my son. I just want to see him off."


    Gu Yong quickly thanks and leaves outside the camp tent.


    After seeing Gu Yong off, Cao Pi, with an expression of contentment, came to the central army tent and called Zhang Liao and Xun you.


    Cao Pi said: "General Zhang, military adviser, it''s done."


    Xun you asked, "did Sun Quan promise to cede Danyang county?"


    Cao Pi nodded heavily and said, "yes, Sun Quan has agreed. Now, Sun Quan ceded Danyang County, our army can cross the Yangtze River. Once we crossed the Yangtze River and collected Danyang County, we attacked Wu county directly. ""Sun Quan hopes that we will attack Liu Xiu."


    "Unfortunately, he didn''t expect that we just pretended to accept his resignation."


    Cao Pi said with complacency: "in this war, we will take Wu County first and take Wu state, and Liu Xiu will lose his forehand."


    Zhang Liao said, "my son is wise!"


    Xunyou said: "Shizi''s strategy is really good. If Sun Quan wants to surrender, we will take advantage of the situation. As long as we cross the Yangtze River, it will be easy to win Sun Quan. "


    Cao Pi looked at Zhang Liao and said, "General Zhang, are all the troops ready?"


    Zhang Liao said: "everything is ready. The ships and the navy are ready. We can cross the river only when our son gives us an order. "


    Cao Pi nodded and said, "when Gu Yong returns to Danyang County, the person appointed by Sun Quan will withdraw the water army on the Yangtze River. You send someone to watch. We are ready to cross the river at any time. "


    "Here it is


    Zhang liaoying went down.


    At this time, Zhang Liao was full of expectations.


    Although Cao Pi''s means of crossing the river were somewhat dishonorable, and even pretended to accept Sun Quan''s surrender, it was excellent to be able to cross the river.


    Xun you said, "my son has one more thing to do."


    Cao Pi asked, "what''s the matter?"


    Xun you said with a smile, "as soon as Gu Yong returns to the state of Wu, the news of Sun Quan''s surrender to the state of Wei will surely spread all over the world."


    "At that time, Liu Xiu was easy to misunderstand that the state of Wei had violated the covenant."


    "For this reason, Shizi needs to write a letter to Liu Xiu to explain that the state of Wei accepted it falsely in order to destroy the state of Wu."


    "Otherwise Liu Xiu will go crazy and attack us."


    Xun you a pair of smiling posture, said: "Liu Xiu know, we can worry about."


    Cao Pi said, "what if Liu Xiu divulges the news?"


    Xun you shook his head and said, "the news is only known to us and Liu Xiu. Once he divulges it, doesn''t it mean that he voluntarily violates the covenant between Chu and Wei? Moreover, we have been going south to Danyang county since Jiangxia and Guangling. As soon as you enter Danyang County, everything will be easy. "


    Cao Pi looked admiring and said, "the military adviser is really wise. I''ll arrange it now."


    Immediately, Cao Pi sent a letter to Jiang Xia.

 Chapter 720

    Since Liu Xiu refused to accept Wu''s surrender, Chu and Wu had been at war.


    In Jiangxia County, taishici led his troops to attack Lujiang; in the south of Yuzhang County, Huang Zhong also dispatched troops to the north to attack.


    For a time, both Lujiang River and Yuzhang were attacked.


    Zhou Yu was also fierce. He was so defensive that he could block the attack.


    Qichun County, base camp.


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    Liu XiuXiu is reading the war situation sent back from the front line.


    The battle between the two armies could not be completed overnight. Liu Xiu, sitting in the rear, paid close attention to the situation transmitted from the front.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of footwork came back from outside the camp.


    Deng Zhan came in and saluted.


    Liu xiutou also did not lift a way: "what news again?"


    "King, general taishici has a message coming back," Deng reported


    Then he handed a letter to Liu Xiu''s desk.


    Liu Xiu opened the envelope and looked at it.


    The content of the letter is taishici''s request to Liu Xiu to send a water army to attack from the Yangtze River.


    Now that the Lujiang war begins, taishici mobilizes Zhou Yu''s army, and Huang Zhong controls some of Zhou Yu''s troops in the south. Taishici hopes Liu Xiu to dispatch another water army to set out along the river and break the situation.


    Liu Xiu thought for a while and said, "please Fazheng, Zhangyan and Ma Chao."


    "Here it is


    Deng Zhan went down to inform.


    After a while, Fazheng, Zhangyan and machao entered the camp in turn.


    Liu Xiu didn''t beat around the Bush and said straight to the point: "just received a message from Tai Shici, Tai Shici thought that the opportunity to break the Lujiang River had arrived. He asked for another water army to enter Lujiang River along the river and beat Zhou Yu''s defense. What do you think? "


    Ma Chao brightened his eyes and said, "king, the battle on the front line is at a critical time. It''s time to go out. He is willing to be a pioneer."


    Liu Xiu laughed, but did not reply.


    Ma Chao took the initiative to fight. He was eager to fight.


    However, whether the current situation is suitable for a decisive battle needs further discussion.


    Once Liu Xiu sent troops in again, it would be a decisive battle.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes turned and fell on Fazheng.


    Fazheng arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I think that general taishici will force Zhou Yu out of the bottom line."


    "Now, the war has just begun."


    "The two sides are fighting. We have put in taishici''s troops and Zhou Yu''s troops."


    "At this time, we should let taishici force Zhou Yu, let Zhou Yu increase his troops again, and show all the bottom lines."


    "On the contrary, in fact, Zhou Yu is forcing the king to show his bottom line."


    "Whoever exposes all his strength first loses."


    Fazheng looked bright in his eyes and said, "now general taishici is not unstoppable, but has formed an impasse with Zhou Yu. At this moment, it should be general Taishi who tries to break the situation, break Zhou Yu''s deployment, and finally increase the troops, not the king. "


    "If the king increases his troops and does his best, Zhou Yu will be able to predict our bottom line."


    "Therefore, it is suggested that we should not send troops."


    Fazheng looked solemn and firm, without any hesitation.


    Even though taishici killed all the soldiers in the front line, as long as he suppressed Zhou Yu and let Zhou Yu put more and more soldiers in, he would win.


    The army led by Liu Xiusuo should not move lightly.


    Zhang said, "Your Majesty, I also agree with the analysis of the French army. In war, we all have to deal with the word "Tibet". Who can hide more soldiers, who can hide to the end, then who can take the last chance. Today, the situation is generally good. To break the situation, it is also the consideration of general taishici, not the deployment of the king. If the king sent troops up, Zhou Yu had more means, and things would be in trouble. "


    Ma Chao listened to the words of Fazheng and Zhangyan, and his heart was cold.


    It''s over!


    There''s no chance to fight again.


    Ma Chao shook his head without arguing.


    He argued with Fazheng. It was like an egg hitting a stone.


    Liu Xiu listened to the analysis of Fazheng and Zhangyan, and then combined with his own consideration, said: "I understand. I will write a letter to taishici."


    FA Zheng said with a smile, "Your Majesty is wise!"


    "Step on it! Step on it


    Suddenly, the sound of footsteps in a hurry sounded.


    Deng Zhan hurried in again. He saluted Liu Xiuxing, then handed him a letter, saying, "Your Majesty, this is a letter from Wu Guolu''s family."


    All the letters handed over by Lu Xun were given to the people of the royal guards in Wu County.


    As soon as the letter came back, it came to Deng Zhan.


    Liu Xiu brightened his eyes and said, "is there any news again? Good


    He took the letter, scanned it quickly, and couldn''t help laughing.


    Fazheng arched his hand and said, "king, but there is good news?"Liu Xiuyi stretched out his hand and handed out the letter. After Fazheng received it, he quickly read it again, but also excited. He also gave the letter to Zhang Yan and Ma Chao. After they read it, they returned it to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said: "since Lu Xun is going to inflict heavy damage on Wei, we will wait and see. With the news of Lu Xun, our front-line war will be more stable. If Lu Xun wins, Zhou Yu will be in chaos. If he attacks at that time, he will be able to beat Zhou Yu completely. "


    FA Zhengdao said: "Lu Xun is a chess piece. The king buried it very well."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "it''s all sun CE''s fault."


    Zhang Maxiao said: "this is the help of heaven for those who have gained the Tao, but few for those who have lost the Tao. Sun Quan even has internal problems. How can he remain invincible in this war? "


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly, and Fazheng, Zhang jaw set the next strategy.


    He wrote a letter directly to tell taishici that he should attack steadily and should not fight a decisive battle immediately.


    The news soon spread to the front line, to Tarshis.


    After reading the letter, Tai Shici invited military adviser Ma su.


    Today, Ma Su is rich and handsome, and has an extraordinary bearing. In addition, he has been in the military camp all the year round.


    He entered the camp, saluted Tai Shici, and said, "general, has the king replied?"


    Taishici said: "the king refused to send troops, let us fight steadily."


    After hearing this, Ma Su frowned: "in this war, we have formed a stalemate with Zhou Yu. As long as the king sends an army, he can break the general and make Zhou Yu unable to withstand the attack. At that time, our army will win. What is your hesitation? "


    As a military adviser in the Fourth Army, Ma Su was very young.


    Now, Ma Su can''t wait to make contributions to Zhou Yu.


    Taishici said: "in the letter, the king explained that Zhou Yu''s forces were exhausted on the surface, but it was not known how. We need to further force Zhou Yu to show all his strength. "


    Ma Su immediately understood.


    The reason why Liu Xiu did not send troops was that he thought Zhou Yu was not at the end of his tether.


    Ma Su thought and said, "general, if you want to force Zhou Yu, then the attack needs to be further strengthened."


    Taishici said, "king, let''s fight steadily."


    Ma Su said: "of course, we try our best to force Zhou Yu on a steady basis. Once Zhou Yu''s plan was exhausted, when there were no soldiers available, it was the time for the king to send out his troops. "


    "What''s the strategist''s plan?" he asked


    Ma Su smiles confidently, and immediately explains his detailed plan.


    After hearing this, Tai Shici deliberated carefully. He agreed with Ma Su''s plan and said, "the plan of the military division is feasible. Next, we will do it."


    They made a plan and began to act.

 Chapter 721

    Jiangcheng County, located in the back of Danyang County, borders Guangling county.


    There is only a line between Jiangcheng County and Guangling county.


    Lu Xun came to Jiangcheng County to take charge of the handover of Danyang county.


    Standing by the river, Lu Xun waited quietly.


    A retinue stood beside Lu Xun and reported, "my Lord, you don''t have to come in person. Let Cao Jun cross the river and leave it to the people below. "


    Lu Xun laughed, but did not explain.


    If he doesn''t come to the riverside in person, the other side won''t be less wary.


    Only by coming in person can we show sincerity.


    Lu Xun attached great importance to the war, which was related to the future of him and the Lu family in the state of Chu.


    "Here it is


    Suddenly, the retinue reminds a way.


    Lu Xun looked up and saw the dark shadows gathered at the ferry on the North Bank of the sword. At a glance, it was like a long dragon across the north bank.


    Because of the distance, we can''t really see the situation on the other side.


    However, Lu Xun still saw a small boat coming into the water by the ferry on the other side and heading towards the south bank.


    When a boat sails in the river, it can''t cross the Yangtze River in a short time.


    It''s June now, with continuous summer rain, rising water level and relatively fast flow.


    Under such circumstances, Cao Jun did not dare to cross the river easily.


    Lu Xun watched Cao Jun''s boat getting closer and closer, and his face became more calm.


    There is no war now, but it has begun.


    It took nearly half an hour for the boat to cross the river bank smoothly.


    The man on board was Xun you.


    He came tumbling in the boat with a pale look on his face. He is a northerner, used to walking flat, not used to the bumpy boat.


    Xun you arched his hand and said, "I have met Lord Lu."


    As soon as Gu Yong returned to Wu County, he sent a letter to Guangling county and told Lu Xun who was in charge of the handover.


    Lu Xun was surprised and said, "it was Xun Junshi who came here in person. Isn''t Xun Junshi afraid that Lu will take you and threaten Wei Shizi?"


    Xun you listened with disdain.


    This is also a false statement.


    On the surface, it looks majestic, but in fact, there is no threat at all.


    As soon as Xun you shook his robe, a gust of prestige blew away a little heat. He was sober and said with a smile, "I''m standing here. I don''t have anything, not even a sword. Lord Lu wants to do it, please. "


    Lu Xun said: "Xun''s Army division is worthy of being the confidant of the king of Wei. His courage is admirable. I''m just joking. I can''t be taken seriously. "


    Xun you looked at Lu Xun, and his eyes were bright.


    Before he came, he had sent someone to know Lu Xun.


    Lu Xun comes from the Lu family and has a deep hatred with Sun Quan.


    Xun you came in person for another purpose, trying to persuade Lu Xun to surrender. He was not in a hurry to let Lu Xun arrange to cross the river. He said: "Mr. Lu was born in the Lu family. He is a scholarly descendant of a famous family. Now, the Lu family is no longer what it used to be. It''s a pity. "


    Lu Xun said: "Lao Xun is worried."


    Xun you was not impatient and said, "what''s Mr. Lu''s opinion on the current situation of Wu state?"


    Lu Xun glanced at Xun you and his eyes narrowed.


    But he didn''t answer.


    Xunyou continued: "Lord Lu is a wise man. He must be able to see the situation of Wu. Today, the state of Wu is still struggling. It will be a matter of time before it is defeated. As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to live in, and good officials choose their masters. Lord Lu doesn''t think about his future. Don''t you think about the Lu family? "


    Lu Xun said with a sneer, "Xun''s military adviser is really gorgeous and admirable."


    Xun you said, "I just want to state a fact."


    What he said is the current situation of the Lu family.


    In particular, Lu Xun, as a member of the Lu family, could not have no idea when he saw the gradual decline of the landing family.


    Even if Lu Xun is loyal to Sun Quan, what about the Lu family?


    Family and country, there is a family before there is a country, which is imprinted in the hearts of the children of the aristocratic family.


    Xun you did not believe that Lu Xun would be indifferent.


    Lu Xun, however, did not give a positive reply. He turned away from the topic and asked, "Xun Jun Shi, Cao Jun has arrived at the north bank. Are you not ready to cross the river?"


    Xun you''s face was full of smiles.


    Lu Xun didn''t answer, so he didn''t explicitly refuse.


    It shows that there is hope.


    Xun you tried to find out Lu Xun''s idea, but he didn''t say much, saying, "Lord Lu, Cao Jun is ready to cross the river. However, there are no boats and they are not good at crossing rivers, so they need the help of Wu soldiers. "


    "How to help?" Lu said


    Xun you replied, "dispatch Wu warships to transport Cao''s troops across the river."


    Lu Xun said, "good!"


    Immediately, Lu Xun gave the order.


    Soon after Lu Xun gave the order, he saw the ships coming from the Yangtze River and heading for the north bank.Xun you looked at the warship heading north with solemn eyes.


    Previously, Zhang Liao sent soldiers to inquire about the movement on the river, but did not find the water army of Wu state.


    As soon as Lu Xun gave the order, he came.


    It can be seen that the water army of the state of Wu is powerful.


    The overall combat effectiveness of the state of Wu is very weak, but the water army of the state of Wu is really powerful.


    Xun you was thoughtful, and so was Lu Xun.


    Xun you asked Wu''s warships to transport Cao''s soldiers, but Cao''s warships didn''t appear. This is what is puzzling. If Cao Jun had no warships, Lu Xun didn''t believe it at all.


    Therefore, Cao Jun must have hidden the warships.


    Lu Xun did not understand the situation of the Wei warships, it is difficult to make inferences.


    What a cunning Xun you.


    Lu Xun was full of spirit and didn''t dare to relax. Xun you in front of him is not a man who can easily be deceived.


    The warships of the state of Wu went back and forth between the north and the south.


    Groups of Cao soldiers crossed the river bank and stationed on the south bank.


    Xun you ordered his soldiers to be stationed and on full alert.


    As long as the army of the state of Wei crosses the river, it must be on guard, because crossing the Yangtze River means that the army of the state of Wei enters the territory of the state of Wu. Xun you couldn''t relax until he completely occupied Danyang county.


    On the surface of the river, the warships kept going back and forth.


    It took a long time for most of Cao''s troops to cross the river.


    Zhang Liao also crossed the river.


    But Cao Pi did not cross the river and stayed in the north bank to camp.


    Most of the Cao troops crossed the river and entered Danyang County, but in case, Zhang Liao left Cao Pi to guard the rear to avoid being attacked.


    Lu Xun saw that Cao Jun''s arrangement was too strict.


    It''s impossible to attack Cao Jun on the edge of the Yangtze River. Fortunately, he didn''t make any arrangements.


    Lu Xun looked at Xun you and said, "Xun Jun Shi, Cao Jun has crossed the river. Please follow me to Jiangcheng County first. Then he went south to Wanling County, the seat of Danyang county. "


    But Xun you shook his head and said, "don''t worry. We''ll take a rest here. Tomorrow morning, we will go south again. "


    When crossing the river, many soldiers felt dizzy after the turbulence.


    Although he was able to drive south by force, Xun you was not at ease in such a state.


    The army is in Danyang county. There may be war at any time.


    Soldiers must be able to fight at all times.


    Lu Xun said with a smile: "according to the arrangement of Xun''s military adviser." After he said that, his heart was a little lost. He also saw the situation of Cao''s soldiers. If the other party was eager to go south, the ambush he laid would be useful.


    Now it seems that it is not easy to ambush Xun you.


    The army camped for a rest.


    A night without words.


    The next morning, it was overcast.


    Before long, we saw thunder and lightning raging in the air, pouring rain.


    It''s impossible to go on such a heavy rain.


    After a full hour, the rain weakened and became a drizzle.


    When Lu Xun arrived at the Chinese Army''s tent, he saw Zhang Liao and Xun you and asked, "General Zhang and Xun''s division, the heavy rain is getting smaller. Now it''s drizzle. Are you going south?"

 Chapter 722

    Going south to Wanling county is a must.


    Only by occupying Wanling and annexing Danyang county can we make a concerted effort to attack Wujun county.


    In ordinary times, Zhang Liao didn''t care about the time, even had to delay it. He went south to Wanling County in no hurry. After all, the initiative was in his hands.


    But now it''s different. He''s in a hurry.


    Once Liu Xiu defeats Zhou Yu, he will approach Wujun.


    Zhang Liao wants to seize Wujun as early as possible.


    The heavy rain turned into light rain, and the soldiers had a good rest and had to go on their way.


    Zhang Liao agreed: "yes, we''ll go right away."


    Lu Xun said, "I''ll go down and make arrangements."


    Lu Xun went to arrange his soldiers, and Zhang Liao also ordered him to leave.


    After a heavy rain, the ground was muddy and full of water, especially the drizzle, which made it difficult to walk.


    Soldiers used to living in the north, suddenly in such relief, very not adapt.


    However, the army had to follow the orders to the south.


    When the army went south to Wanling County, Zhang Liao still left a group of soldiers stationed at the ferry.


    Its purpose is to guard both sides of the Strait.


    In this way, Zhang Liao can advance, attack, retreat and defend, so that he can be invincible.


    Lu Xun secretly told Zhang Liao that he was smart, and he was more careful. He took the army all the way south.


    Zhang Liao and Xun you were in the middle army.


    Although they entered Danyang County, they still didn''t relax.


    Xun you said, "General Zhang, what do you think of Lu Xun?"


    Zhang Liao said: "this man is neither humble nor arrogant. He is quite a general. Unfortunately, it''s not from the state of Wei. "


    Xun you said, "I hope I can recruit this man."


    With a confident smile, Zhang Liao said: "after occupying Danyang County, we can''t resist the Wu state. At that time, Lu Xun will follow the trend."


    Xun you had a thought-provoking look in his eyes and said, "I hope so."


    Xun you was looking forward to recruiting Lu Xun.


    It''s not easy to see Lu Xun.


    They chatted casually and led the soldiers to the south.


    It''s just that the more you go south, the more muddy the road becomes. Especially after countless soldiers and horses, the road is even more bumpy, and it''s hard to walk on the ground.


    "Herod


    Suddenly, a horse fell to the ground with a cry.


    The soldier fell down after him.


    The soil splashed all over the soldiers.


    This situation affects the progress of the army.


    The soldier stood up, looked at the fallen horse, and swore, "it''s too hard to walk in the damned weather. Two men, help me to lift up the horses. "


    The reason why the horse fell was that the road was muddy and slippery.


    With less rain in the north, the roads are not so muddy.


    Cavalry in the north, can be said to gallop without hindrance.


    However, the roads in the south are muddy. When it rains, the footpaths become muddy, which makes it difficult to walk.


    It''s easy for the horses to slip and fall when they walk on it.


    A few soldiers managed to lift up their horses. It''s just that the horses are also full of mud. In this case, you can''t ride. You can only lead the horses to the place where there is water, and then you can ride them again after cleaning.


    The team continued on their way, and more and more horses fell.


    The team on the way is affected.


    The general in charge also knew that he could not hold down any more and hastened to march towards the rear.


    To the Chinese army, to Xunyou and Zhang Liao side.


    There was more than one person, more than a dozen of them, who were all generals at the bottom of the army.


    One of them took the lead and said, "General Zhang, it''s a rainy day. After a heavy rain, it''s hard to walk on the road. Many of our horses fell to the ground. There''s no way to go this way. "


    The rest echoed.


    Fighting in the north, they''ve never seen anything like this.


    Galloping and galloping.


    However, the light rain made the ground wet and the horses could not make it.


    Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "the speed of driving can be slowed down slightly, but it can''t stop. Our battle is related to whether the king of Wei can rule the country smoothly, and we can''t delay our time. "


    "I don''t know when the rain will stop. I don''t know when I can reach Wanling County until it stops and clears up."


    "You are the elite of the state of Wei. When you encounter difficulties in entering the state of Wu, you have to find a way to overcome them and find a way to solve them."


    "It doesn''t make any sense to just give up."


    Zhang Liao said: "pass on, continue to drive."


    In a word, it sets the tone.


    Zhang Liao has a high prestige in the army. When he gives the order, everyone deserves it.


    One by one, they scattered and went back to appease the soldiers.


    The team continued on their way.


    However, the speed of driving has gradually slowed down.Xun you said: "General Zhang, this is the geographical condition. When our troops entered the state of Wu, they were unable to eat in such weather. "


    Zhang Liao nodded and said, "yes, it''s hard to fight in the south. Fortunately, Sun Quan took the initiative to surrender. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to attack the state of Wu. "


    If, under the same conditions, the Wei army and the Wu army fight, the Wei army will win.


    However, there are specific conditions in the south.


    Under such conditions, the Wei army could not have much advantage.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    There was a sound of footwork.


    Lu Xun came to Xun you in a coir raincoat and a hat.


    "I''ve met General Zhang and Xunzi."


    Lu Xun saluted.


    Zhang Liao and Xun you returned a ceremony, Zhang Liao said: "what''s the matter with Lord Lu?"


    Lu Xun said: "General Zhang, it''s rainy in the south, especially in the rainy season, which lasts for several days. According to the current speed, I don''t know the age of monkey in Danyang county. When Liu Xiu is killed in Wujun, what''s the point of my Lord''s obedience to the king of Wei? Please give the order of General Zhang to speed up the journey. "


    Zhang Liao sighed: "Mr. Lu, it''s not that he will not speed up his way. There''s really no way."


    Zhang Liao also knows Lu Xun''s request.


    Lu Xun wanted to go south earlier, and Zhang Liao also wanted to arrive in Wanling County earlier.


    Liu Xiu was fierce in the west of Wu state. Once he broke Zhou Yu''s defense line, he would drive straight into Wu County.


    Zhang Liao and Lu Xun share the same goal.


    Zhang Liao wanted to seize Wu County as early as one day and control Sun Quan. He also wanted to speed up the southward movement.


    Zhang Liao also said: "Lord Lu grew up in the state of Wu and knew the method of fighting in the south. What should we do now? "


    Lu Xun listened with a smile in his heart.


    Just wait for Zhang Liao''s words.


    "It''s not difficult to solve this problem," Lu said. Please ask the general to let the soldiers collect Artemisia and jump on the horse''s hooves. The road is muddy and slippery, but with grass and rattan tied to the soles of the feet, the impact of the muddy road can be weakened. "


    "Wonderful


    Zhang Liao eyes a bright, Baoquan way: "Lu adult talent, this will admire."


    Lu Xun said: "General Zhang just didn''t think of it for the time being. It''s not a big deal. Please arrange it as soon as possible."


    Zhang Liao was not a procrastinator. He immediately called for the soldiers and arranged to go on.


    The army stopped for a while and began to equip the horses with horseshoes.


    After an hour''s rest, the team moved on.


    Light rain pattered down, the team against the rain, continue south.


    Lu Xun returned to his own army, he walked in the front. Looking up, I saw a mountain in front of me. Because of the rain and fog, I couldn''t really see the situation on the mountain.


    But the road down the mountain is easy to follow.


    WOW!


    It rained on the mountain, the water flowed and murmured.


    Lu Xun and his soldiers were on their way. Suddenly, an order came from the rear to stop the army.


    When Lu Xun got the news, he stopped.


    Lu Xun looked back at Cao Jun with a smile on his lips.

 Chapter 723

    (second watch)


    the advancing army was suddenly stopped.


    As a wise man, Lu Xun easily guessed the reason.


    Zhang Liao is afraid of ambush.


    That''s why.


    Lu Xun waited quietly. Soon, Zhang Liao came along with his horse.


    Under the muddy road, Zhang Liao''s riding speed is not fast, but it is quite steady.


    Zhang Liao looked at the cloud mountain and fog mountain ahead, looked at Lu Xun and asked, "Lord Lu, what is the mountain ahead?"


    Lu Xun said, "this mountain is called Yunwu Mountain."


    "Cloud mountain?"


    Zhang Liao was a little surprised.


    This mountain, surrounded by clouds and fog, is actually called Yunwu Mountain.


    Lu Xun explained: "Yunwu Mountain is one of the highest mountains in Danyang county. Once it rains, it must be shrouded in clouds and fog. You can''t see the scenery on the mountain, so it''s called Yunwu Mountain."


    Zhang Liao nodded.


    But he looked at Yunwu Mountain with a cautious look.


    Wu is located in the south of the Yangtze River, with canals and flat terrain.


    In these places, it is difficult to set up ambush points.


    A rare cloud mountain is likely to be an ambush site.


    With a wave of his hand, Zhang Liao ordered: "it''s Zhang Han who leads the scouts to explore the road under the cloud mountain."


    "Here it is


    The soldiers went to summon at once.


    Zhang Han is the commander of the scouts in the army, responsible for information.


    Lu Xun said with a smile: "General Zhang, since my Lord has been obedient to the king of Wei, he will not turn back. Does general Zhang not believe in the sincerity of our Lord? "


    Zhang Liao zhengse said: "this general naturally believes in the king of Wu, so it is necessary to guard against people. As the commander in charge of the war, it''s better to be cautious. What does Lord Lu think? "


    Lu Xun arched his hand and said, "General Zhang deserves to be a veteran. I admire him!"


    Zhang Liao said, "Mr. Lu, I''m flattered."


    They both rode and stood shoulder to shoulder.


    At this time, he is still waiting for Zhang Han to inquire about the situation at the foot of Yunwu Mountain.


    Zhang Liao suddenly said, "what does Lord Lu think of the state of Wu?"


    Lu Xun zhengse way: "located in the south of the Yangtze River, although the lack of troops, but there is a long river moat, enough to protect themselves."


    "But now, Wu can''t even protect himself," Zhang said


    Lu Xun said, "if the state of Wu and Chu unite to attack the state of Wei. Dare to ask, can Wei block it? "


    Zhang Liao nodded slightly.


    Lu Xun''s rhetorical question is reasonable.


    Liu Xiu is extremely cunning, and his soldiers are extremely elite.


    Once Liu Xiu and the state of Wu united, the state of Wei did face difficulties and dangers. However, if the state of Wu was to attack the state of Wei, it would be severely damaged in the end, and finally it would be cleaned up by Liu Xiu, so it is impossible for the state of Wu and Liu Xiu to join hands to destroy the state of Wei.


    Zhang Liao asked again, "what does Lord Lu think of the king of Wei?"


    Lu Xun said: "the king of Wei is the king of the world!"


    Zhang Liao said: "is Lord Lu willing to serve the Wei king?"


    This is the purpose of Zhang Liao.


    Xun you had tried to persuade Lu Xun on the edge of the Yangtze River, but there was no result.


    Now, Zhang Liao comes to persuade again.


    Once Lu Xun defected to Cao Cao, the benefits would be huge. With Lu Xun as the internal agent, it is easy to attack Wujun.


    Zhang Liao stares at Lu Xun with expectation in his eyes.


    Lu Xun shook his head and said, "loyal officials are not the two masters. Lu Xun is the son of Wu. He should serve as our master."


    Zhang Liao said: "Lord Lu, you are stupid, you are stupid."


    Lu Xun said, "it''s better to be loyal or stupid."


    Zhang Liao solemnly said: "if Lord Lu is willing to submit to the king of Wei, the king of Wei can guarantee that Lord Lu will be appointed as the governor of Yangzhou."


    The place occupied by the state of Wu belonged to Yangzhou.


    It was discussed by Zhang Liao, Xun you and Cao Pi that Lu Xun should be appointed governor of Yangzhou.


    On the one hand, Lu Xun is talented enough to take charge of a state; on the other hand, Lu Xun and the sun family have a quarrel, and the Lu family is a big family in Jiangdong. If Lu Xun takes charge of Yangzhou, it will stabilize the situation and not revive the sun family.


    Overall, Lu Xun is the most suitable candidate.


    Lu Xun was also a little surprised.


    Governor of Yangzhou!


    Cao Cao really gave a big price.


    Unfortunately, Lu Xun had already stepped on Liu Xiu''s boat and became Liu Xiu''s man.


    In Lu Xun''s view, Liu Xiu occupied Liangzhou, Yizhou, Guanzhong, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou and other places. Although he was not the core of the Central Plains, Liu Xiu''s general trend had become.


    In particular, Cao Cao repeatedly lost to Liu Xiu.


    Under this premise, Lu Xun naturally preferred Liu Xiu.


    Now, once he hit Zhang Liao hard, he could bring great benefits to Liu Xiu.


    When he followed Liu Xiu, he did not necessarily get less than the governor of Yangzhou.


    Lu Xun, in particular, did not think that he would be in power when he was the governor of Yangzhou. If you think about it carefully, after Cao Cao captured the state of Wu, even if he occupied Yangzhou, even if he appointed Lu Xun as the assassin, can you really rest assured? I''m sure it''s hard to rest assured that someone will be sent to guard against Lu Xun.Lu Xun thought clearly, but he was silent for a long time.


    Then Lu Xun said, "General Zhang, I''m loyal to the king. I won''t be bewitched by you."


    Zhang Liao said: "Lord Lu''s loyalty is really admirable."


    So Zhang Liao was quite confident.


    If Lu Xun is really not interested, he will not hesitate, but will answer directly. However, Lu Xun hesitated for a long time before giving the answer. It can be seen that Lu Xun was still moved.


    As long as Lu Xun is interested, there will be room for operation.


    As soon as Zhang Liao''s words changed, he stopped talking about recruiting Lu Xun. He turned to ask about Yangzhou, including its customs and people''s feelings.


    Lu Xun knew all these things well and came at his fingertips.


    One question and one answer are very harmonious.


    Zhang Liao and Lu Xun talk, the more in-depth understanding, the more admire Lu Xun.


    The man in front of us is not only insightful in political affairs, but also insightful in military strategy. He is a man of both literature and martial arts.


    In Zhang Liao''s heart, he wanted to win over Lu Xun.


    As time went by, nearly an hour later, Zhang Han came back with the scouts.


    When he came to Zhang Liao, Zhang Han said: "tell general, there is no ambush in Yunwu Mountain. The road at the foot of the mountain is also quite broad, and there is no rugged place. Finally, the general decided that there was no ambush in Yunwu Mountain. "


    Zhang Liao nodded.


    Zhang Han is an old scout in the army and has enough experience.


    Zhang Liao believed Zhang Han''s judgment.


    Zhang Liao ordered: "herald the vanguard, start to advance."


    Zhang Han retreated, and after the order was given, the vanguard soldiers at the front began to go on their way.


    Lu Xun went on with the soldiers and vanguards.


    Zhang Liao returned to the central army and went on his way with Xun you.


    Zhang Liao said: "Xun Junshi, the general talked with Lu Xun for more than half an hour. The more he talked, the more he found Lu Xun''s talent. If we can recruit him, the state of Wei will be like a tiger. "


    Xun you said, "don''t worry, general Zhang. There are still opportunities along the way. Even if we can''t persuade Lu Xun to surrender for the time being, isn''t it easy to recruit Lu Xun after he has captured Wu County and Sun Quan? "


    Zhang Liao nodded and said no more.


    They led the Chinese soldiers to the foot of Yunwu Mountain and went on.

 Chapter 724

    As the army marched on Yunwu Mountain, Zhang Liao still did not relax.


    In his mind, there is always a string stretched.


    When most of the soldiers passed through Yunwu Mountain, Zhang Liao was relieved.


    It was almost evening.


    The light rain continued.


    The official road is still muddy, which makes it inconvenient to drive.


    Lu Xun rode up to Zhang Liao and said, "General Zhang, the scouts return. If you go four miles further, you will find Fushui river. This river is not wide, but floating bridges must be built to allow a large number of soldiers to cross the river. You see, crossing the river overnight or tomorrow morning. "


    Fushui river is a river in Danyang county.


    Zhang Liao all the way south, has passed through several rivers, are not big rivers.


    After a day''s experience, he finally understood the situation in the south.


    Not far away, there is a river.


    If it''s cavalry, it can''t move at all.


    The cavalry of the brigade meets the river? It''s a lot of trouble to cross the river.


    If the state of Wei wanted to attack the state of Wu, it would not be easy for the state of Wu to resist.


    Zhang Liao looked up at the gloomy sky.


    Now it''s summer, the weather should be hot, but with the drizzle, the weather is quite cool.


    Zhang Liao believes that we should hurry up.


    Zhang Liao said, "Lord Lu, let''s continue our journey and build a bridge across the river."


    "Good!"


    Lu Xun got Zhang Liao''s command, turned around and went on.


    After discussing with Xunyou, Zhang Liao left Xunyou in charge. He drove his horse to catch up with Lu Xun and went forward with him.


    The army continued on their way and soon came to the North Bank of the Fushui river.


    The surface of Fushui river is not very wide, only more than ten feet, and the current is not too fast. The river is rushing down.


    Zhang Liao checked the situation and ordered a bridge across the river.


    Under the command, the auxiliary soldiers in their own army began to build bridges.


    Make a way when you meet mountains and build a bridge when you meet water.


    In addition to the soldiers in the army, they are the auxiliary arms specially responsible for transporting grain and equipment.


    Lu Xun stood on the bank, watching the soldiers build the bridge.


    The boats near the ferry were requisitioned, and soldiers went to get rid of more boats.


    At this time, the soldiers moved quickly.


    "Bang! Bang


    The stakes were sharpened and nailed to the north bank.


    The soldier took out the iron lock with thick ears and nose, wound it on the stake, tied it to death, then pulled the iron lock and crossed the river by boat.


    The iron lock was pulled down by the soldiers and quickly crossed the river.


    On the south bank, he was tied to a stake.


    Lu Xun could see clearly that there were four iron locks, which were bound to the wooden piles on the bank, and then across the river.


    Zhang Liao looked at the auxiliary soldier''s action with a touch of self-confidence in his mouth.


    This is the result of countless training.


    Now, at last, it comes in handy.


    Zhang Liao said with a smile, "Mr. Lu, what is the ability of the auxiliary soldiers to build bridges in Wei?"


    Lu Xun said: "great!"


    Lu Xun also had to admit that he was very familiar with the skills of these auxiliary soldiers.


    Zhang Liao said, "is it difficult to attack the state of Wu with these ambushes?"


    Lu Xun said: "it''s not difficult to cross the Yangtze River. It''s just general Zhang. Can we cross the Yangtze River? Can these auxiliary soldiers build a floating bridge over the Yangtze River? "


    Zhang Liao said with a smile: "it''s very difficult, but now, isn''t it over the bridge?"


    Lu Xun''s eyes narrowed and said coldly, "General Zhang, what does that mean?"


    Zhang Liao said: "Lord Lu, the enemy now is Liu Xiu. The state of Wei and the state of Chu cooperate sincerely. What I will consider is how the state of Wu will resist after the destruction of Chu? "


    Lu Xun listened with a sneer in his heart.


    Destroy the state of Chu?


    Zhang Liao, this is wishful thinking.


    On the surface, the state of Wei took the initiative to enter Danyang county first.


    However, all these are appearances.


    Lu Xun would not reveal what he thought. He said: "General Zhang, Liu Xiu is in Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Jingzhou and Liangzhou. His power is no less than that of Wei. It is very difficult for the state of Wei to destroy the state of Chu. What about the state of Wu? "


    Zhang Liao said: "Lord Lu is confident."


    At this time, Zhang Liao was also contemptuous.


    This time Zhang Liao went to Danyang County, he wanted to attack Wu County. He would not attack Chu for the time being.


    First destroy the state of Wu, then destroy the state of Chu.


    This was the policy set by Zhang Liao, Xun you and Cao Pi.


    Lu Xun looked at the auxiliary soldiers who were building the bridge. These auxiliary soldiers moved quickly. After the iron lock was pulled up, the ships that had been enlisted were searched one by one. Then they laid boards on the ships and put the boards on the ships.It''s all going on very quickly.


    So it is. It''s getting dark.


    Fortunately, the day''s rain finally stopped.


    A torch lit, lit up the river, and the ambush bridge is still continuing.


    At this time, knowing that the bridge could not be completed in a short time, Zhang Liao ordered the soldiers to camp nearby.


    When the troops were stationed, Lu Xun followed them into the camp.


    Lu Xun has a separate tent.


    After dinner, he went back to the tent and took out a roll of parchment map from his arms by the light of the oil lamp. The marks on the map are the mountains and rivers of Danyang county.


    He gazed at the map, and his eyes fell on the position of the Fushui river.


    This position is half a day away from his ambush point.


    "No hands on the Yangtze River, no hands on Yunwu Mountain, no hands on Fushui river. At this time, Zhang Liao has relaxed his vigilance. "


    "When we enter the ambush tomorrow, it''s time to start."


    "The decisive battle is tomorrow."


    After looking at the map, Lu Xun put it away and lay down to rest.


    When he came, the battle was arranged.


    Today, after a day''s walking, the war will begin tomorrow.


    Nothing happened overnight.


    The next morning it was bright.


    On this day, the sky was blue and brilliant, and a red sun had risen, emitting heat.


    The weather in June and July is getting hotter and hotter instead of getting colder after the rain.


    It was so hot that the soldiers got up early.


    After breakfast, the soldiers were ready to leave.


    Lu Xun came to the bank and saw the floating bridge on the river. Overnight, the pontoon has been built. This floating bridge is covered with wooden boards, and under it are small boats, and then there are iron locks to ensure that the boats will not be disturbed.


    Lu Xun stepped on it and nodded his approval.


    He took the soldiers to cross the river first. After crossing the river bank, Cao Jun''s pioneers also began to cross the river.


    After the army had crossed the river, the army went on.


    All the way, because of the hot weather, many places on the road are dry, but the ground is soft, and it is easy to slip when walking.


    Half a day, 30 miles in the morning.


    It''s not fast, but it rained yesterday after all.


    It''s near noon.


    The army came to a low-lying area.


    In this area, the terrain is flat and open, but the surrounding rolling hills are not too high.


    After passing through this area, the army entered Wuhu County.


    As long as you go through Wuhu County, you can finally reach Wanling County, the seat of Danyang county.

 Chapter 725

    Lu Xun looked at the area with bright eyes.


    This area is called xiadukou.


    The surrounding terrain is flat and fertile, which is suitable for farming.


    On the hills in the distance, there are lush forests.


    Lu Xun patiently continued to move forward, his soldiers in the front, at this time near noon, one by one staring at the sun, still on the way.


    "The general ordered the whole army to stop advancing and rest in place."


    All of a sudden, the herald soldiers yelled.


    When the news got around, all the soldiers stopped and stopped on their way.


    Now it''s Midsummer and it''s hot.


    After walking all morning, the soldier''s clothes are all wet. It''s wonderful to stop and have a rest.


    One by one, they find a place to sit down and chat in twos and threes.


    Lu Xun also took his soldiers to rest.


    There were not many soldiers around Lu Xun, only 3000.


    Some of these 3000 soldiers were found on the South Bank of the Yangtze River, and some were taken away when they passed through towns along the way.


    Danyang county will be handed over to Cao Jun, and every town has a certain number of troops.


    Lu Xun took all the soldiers along the way.


    Now, there are about 3000 people.


    Along the way, the 3000 odd soldiers all ate Cao''s Army food, but Zhang Liao didn''t say much about how much Cao''s soldiers provided and how much Lu Xun''s soldiers also provided.


    The auxiliary soldiers began to cook. Soon, the smell of rice came from the army.


    After the meal was finished, the soldiers began to eat one after another.


    After eating, Lu Xun returned to his position. He looked forward.


    If you want to get out of the lower ferry completely, you have to spend at most one hour.


    After half an hour''s rest at noon, Zhang Liao ordered the troops to enter.


    The army set out again.


    Lu Xun led his troops to the front, and all his 3000 soldiers were on their way. Now the weather is hot, after half a day of exposure, the mud on the ground has been much better.


    It is not very difficult to walk.


    It took about a long time to walk out of the flat area of xiadukou.


    There is a mountain road ahead.


    The slope of this mountain road is about 40 degrees. The road is wide, about 5 Zhang wide and nearly 100 Zhang long. On both sides of the mountain road are hillsides, and on the slopes are forests.


    Cross the mountain road and walk out of the lower ferry.


    Lu Xun took his soldiers up the slope. It took him a long time to get there.


    As he walked, Lu Xun ordered his soldiers to speed up.


    Cao''s soldiers, however, maintained their original speed.


    There was a distance between the two sides.


    Cao''s vanguard troops did not stop this situation. In their view, it was only the soldiers of the state of Wu who wanted to climb the hillside now and then rest on the hillside.


    The distance between the two sides gradually widened.


    Three feet!


    Five feet!


    Ten feet!


    By the time all the soldiers under Lu Xun''s command had climbed the hillside, the distance between the two sides was about 15 Zhang.


    This distance is enough for Lu Xun to prepare.


    Standing on the hillside, Lu Xun suddenly ordered, "blow the trumpet and stop the Cao soldiers."


    The soldiers who followed Lu Xun immediately took action.


    "Woo! Woo


    A long voice suddenly sounded on the hillside.


    Lu Xun pulled out his long sword and roared: "sons, follow me to kill the enemy and kill Cao Jun."


    Many of the soldiers who were recruited by Lu Xun showed strange looks.


    What''s going on?


    Didn''t the state of Wu submit to the state of Wei?


    How to fight back suddenly?


    Among the soldiers around Lu Xun, one by one the generals took action and quickly set up their positions on the hillside with the soldiers. Then, in the forest on both sides of the mountain road, another batch of soldiers were killed.


    These soldiers were Lu Xun''s real ambush.


    As soon as these troops appeared, first archers entered the battlefield one by one, and then directly arched.


    "Whew! Whew


    The dense bows and arrows formed a rain of arrows, whizzing and whizzing at the Cao soldiers who were going up the mountain.


    In an instant, Cao''s army was in chaos.


    The soldiers at the front kept retreating, trying to avoid the bow and arrow fire.


    "Dong! Dong


    The battle drums are ringing again on the hillside.


    The roar of war drums resounded through the mountain, making the soldiers on the mountain blood boiling.


    The soldiers of Wu army, who had been stunned, all turned to form an array and prepared to stop the soldiers of Cao army. At this time, all the Wu soldiers understood that Lu Xun''s surrender was false, and now they had to fight back.


    Boom


    Hundreds of Jin heavy stones were pushed down the hillside.


    The stones rolled down and crashed into Cao''s soldiers.On the mountain road, Cao''s soldiers could not avoid it.


    If you are hit by a stone, even if you are not killed, you will be seriously injured.


    Big stones rolled down, and the rain of arrows suppressed them. Cao''s soldiers kept retreating. At last, they were completely suppressed. They all retreated and retreated to the foot of the mountain road.


    The fighting soon spread to the Chinese army.


    When Zhang Liao learned the news, he was also surprised. He drove his horse forward.


    At this time, Zhang Liao felt strange.


    It is surrounded by a low-lying area. Even if the exit of the lower ferry in front is a mountain road, such a place is not insurmountable, and it is not the best ambush location.


    It''s not the most appropriate place for Lu Xun to choose to turn over in such a place.


    Why not Yunwu Mountain?


    Why not the Fushui river?


    Zhang Liao thought in his heart that the situation was strange.


    It wasn''t long before Zhang Liao came to the former army. He saw a corpse on the hillside and heard the wailing of the wounded soldiers around him. His face was cold.


    It seems to him that Lu Xun is a bit stupid to do so.


    If Lu Xun doesn''t fight, Zhang Liao will attack Wu county directly after he arrives at Danyang County, at least he will be out of his way.


    Now, if Lu Xun starts first, he will violate morality first.


    It is reasonable for Zhang Liao to attack Lu Xun, Danyang county and Wu state.


    We can''t blame Wei for all this.


    Zhang Liao looked up at the Wu soldiers on the mountain with sharp eyes.


    By this time, the soldiers had retreated.


    The Wu soldiers on the mountain did not design to shoot any more arrows.


    Zhang Liao roared: "where is Lu Xun?"


    Lu Xun, dressed in armor, stood on the hillside with a calm face and said in a loud voice: "Zhang Liao, Lu Xun is here."


    Zhang Liao said: "Lu Xun, King Wu promised to hand over Danyang County, but you laid an ambush on the mountain and killed my soldiers. When you take down the Wu Kingdom, I will challenge you in front of you. "


    "Kill


    With a wave of his hand, Zhang Liao gave the order to attack.


    It''s just a mountain road, not a strong city.


    At least, it is easier to capture this road than to capture the city.


    The soldiers of the state of Wei charged and rushed to the mountain road.


    Lu Xun sat on the mountain, calm, without a trace of panic. He calmly directed the soldiers to shoot arrows, and pushed down big stones to stop Cao''s soldiers.


    Cao''s soldiers were completely exposed to the bow and arrow.


    Although Cao''s soldiers gradually pushed up the mountain road, the casualties were also quite heavy.

 Chapter 726

    Six miles west of the battlefield, on the mountains.


    There are many trees all over the mountains.


    On the mountain, there is a lake.


    The lake is bright and rippling, especially after heavy rain.


    Connected with the lake, there is also a river.


    This river, just a section of Fushui River, flows into the lake, and then flows on the shady side of the mountain.


    To some extent, lakes are also part of the rich river.


    A team of soldiers was stationed here.


    The leader of the team was eight feet long, in his early forties, and a big man.


    He has the same appearance as Sun Quan.


    His name is Sun Jing. He is Sun Jian''s younger brother and Sun Quan''s uncle.


    Sun Quan sends Lu Xun to be fully responsible for the ambush of Cao Jun, and asks Sun Jing to come with Lu Xun.


    Sun Jing, with his soldiers, stood quietly at the mouth of the lake.


    At the mouth of the lake towards the lower ferry, a wide channel has been excavated, leaving only a layer of rammed earth to block it. As long as the last bit of soil is dug out, the water in the lake will pour out, flow down the mountain and pour into the low-lying lower ferry.


    Sun Jing stood on the mountain. Because of the number of layers, he could not see the situation at the foot of the mountain.


    So we have to wait.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came to Sun Jing and reported: "general, Lord Lu is going up the slope with his soldiers."


    Sun Jing nodded and said, "wait!"


    At this time, there was no expression on Sun Jing''s face, but she was quite nervous in her heart.


    This war is related to the victory and defeat of Wu and Wei.


    This battle can only be won, not defeated!


    "Woo! Woo


    Not long after, the heavy and long horn sounded.


    "Dong! Dong! "


    Then, the rumble of war drums sounded again.


    Sun Jing''s face suddenly excited, almost roared: "dig the mouth of the lake!"


    At the first order, the soldiers under his command started immediately.


    It was only half the time for the incense, and the lake mouth was dug up.


    "Boom!"


    The lake is pounding, surging along the excavated mouth.


    Originally, when the Fushui river flowed into the lake, it would turn down the lake and flow to other places. However, as soon as the mouth of the lake was dug up, the already swollen river suddenly found a place where it was raging and roared down the mountain.


    The lake is scoured and mighty.


    The smaller plants are directly damaged and washed off.


    The bigger trees are still standing.


    And the mighty lake water, constantly surging down, spread the whole xiadukou. Under the


    lake, the white foam continues to flow.


    The sound of boom and rumble is heard all the time.


    Seeing the success of digging the lake, Sun Jing immediately ordered, "prepare for the next step."


    "Here it is


    The soldiers around him left the mountain with Sun Jing and planned to go to the next place.


    The river water all over the sky scoured and spread rapidly in the low-lying area of xiadukou.


    Xun you was in the middle army. He watched Zhang Liao command his soldiers to attack Lu Xun, and watched Cao''s soldiers get closer and closer to the mountain road. He was always worried.


    Suddenly he heard a rumbling sound in his ears.


    Follow the sound.


    Suddenly, Xun you opened his eyes.


    the lake with white bubbles is tilted from the distant mountains.


    The lake is vast and rolling.


    It''s a trick!


    Xun you was shocked.


    At this moment, Xun you knew Lu Xun''s poison plan.


    Lu Xun''s action on the hillside was intended to hold Cao''s army, so that Cao''s army could not avoid the lake.


    He didn''t care so much. He galloped forward, quickly came to Zhang Liao and said in a loud voice: "General Zhang, Lu Xun used water attack. Get out, get out. "


    At the moment, Xun you is also extremely nervous.


    Compared to being ambushed, or being trapped somewhere.


    Water attack, fire attack and so on, that is the most fierce.


    With the help of heaven and earth, this is the most merciless.


    Zhang Liao also saw the vast and flowing water in the west, and saw the water rolling in. He looked at the situation on the mountain, and it would take at least half an hour, even more time, to go up the mountain


    But the scoured Lake won''t give him time.


    Once the soldiers are flooded, the war will be extremely dangerous.


    Time doesn''t wait!


    Zhang Liao''s heart, is also urgent.


    However, Zhang Liao looked up and saw that there were low-lying areas all around him, which were flat.


    The lake was raging, and the army under it could not resist.


    "Withdraw, withdraw at once!"


    Zhang Liao gave an order not to tangle with Lu Xun.


    Once he continues to entangle with Lu Xun here, the army will fall into the flood, which will be more dangerous. It''s better to retreat decisively. Lu Xun had to go into low-lying areas to hide.The army retreated rapidly.


    Zhang Liao and Xun you left quickly under the cover of the soldiers.


    Lu Xun stood on the mountain, looking at the retreating Cao soldiers with a sneer.


    Is Cao Jun going to retreat?


    There is no such easy thing.


    It''s not easy to cross low-lying areas in a moment.


    Under the scour of the vast lake, this area will become a Ze state. It is unrealistic for Zhang Liao to retreat.


    Lu Xun did not pursue and waited quietly.


    At this time, the water in the lower ferry has been rising at a visible speed. In a short time, he had reached the knee position, which affected Cao''s retreat.


    At this time, there was chaos in Cao''s army.


    Lu Xun still hasn''t launched an attack.


    The roaring sound of the lake water pouring back is still going on.


    Sun Jing took the soldiers to Lu Xun''s side and said, "Lord Lu, aren''t you ready to attack yet?"


    Lu Xun said: "general sun, don''t worry for the moment. Wait a minute. "


    The water of the lake is still rising, as if it doesn''t stop. In the eyes of the people, the retreating soldiers of Cao army have gradually become shadows and become a little blurred.


    Lu Xun looked at the situation at the foot of the mountain and estimated that the lake had reached the waist.


    At this time, it was difficult for Cao Jun to walk.


    Lu Xun no longer hesitated, ordered: "put down the boat, attack by boat."


    "Here it is


    Sun Jing was ordered to make arrangements immediately.


    Led by Sun Jing, the ambush soldiers quickly carried the boat down the mountain, and then rowed fast forward.


    Boat after boat floated on the water and approached Cao Jun.


    Lu Xun also boarded a small boat and stood on it, heading for the retreat of the Wei army.


    The water level is still rising, spreading at the lower ferry.


    Gradually, has reached the position of the chest.


    Cao Wei''s fleeing soldiers stood in the water, all of them were in panic.


    Xun you and Zhang Liao took the soldiers to retreat quickly, but the rising water level made them extremely difficult. Now they seem to fall in a pond and it''s hard to jump out.


    Xun you looked back and saw that there were ships after him. He was shocked: "Wenyuan, hurry up, Wu soldiers are coming by ship."


    Jiangdong soldiers are not only good at handling ships, but also good at fighting in the water.


    Once they were approached by Jiangdong soldiers, tens of thousands of Wei soldiers led by Zhang Liao would be folded here.


    After Zhang Liao looked back, he ordered a quick retreat.

 Chapter 727

    After all, those who wade in the water are not as fast as those who row a boat.


    Zhang Liao retreated with his soldiers, but they were finally overtaken by the soldiers of the state of Wu.


    On a ship, the soldiers of the state of Wu, holding spears, stabbed out and reaped the lives of the soldiers of the state of Wei.


    Even if some of the soldiers overturned their boats and fell into the water, they were all white and watery. Having reached the water level in their chest, they were like fish in water, harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the state of Wei.


    Xun you retreated under the cover of the soldiers.


    At this time, Xun you was pale.


    They beat wild geese all day, but they pecked their eyes.


    Following Sun Quan''s plan to surrender, they planned to control Danyang county and then attack Wu County.


    Along the way, we are very careful.


    On the Bank of the Yangtze River!


    Yunwu Mountain!


    Fushui river!


    ¡­¡­


    We''ve been on guard all the way.


    Just when Xun you and Zhang Liao both thought that the state of Wu really wanted to surrender, Lu Xun suddenly made a move.


    The sudden water attack caught Xun you by surprise.


    In the face of water attack, even though Zhang Liao was good at fighting, even though Zhang Liao had unparalleled courage, even though Xun you had a strategic mind, he couldn''t exert himself. There was no solution at all.


    The only thing we can do is to run, keep running.


    Screams and fights are heard all the time.


    More and more people are killed and injured.


    The surface of the water was red with blood.


    Xun you roared, "come on, we''re going to rush out of the lower ferry. We''re going to rush out soon. Hurry up


    After running for such a long time, I finally want to leave the lower ferry.


    As long as they rush out and withdraw from this area, Cao''s army can avoid Wu''s killing.


    As soon as he calms down, Cao Jun will still have a chance.


    One by one, Cao''s soldiers rushed forward and ran towards the road of retreat.


    Leaving the lower ferry is a road, but this road is not as steep as the previous mountain road, and there is no mountain forest on both sides, which is a road with a certain slope.


    Cao''s soldiers waded and rushed out of the water.


    Countless soldiers, very excited.


    Standing on the boat, Lu Xun saw Cao''s soldiers start to land and get rid of the lake.


    He saw this scene with a smile on his lips.


    The plan has begun. How can it end now? The good play has just begun.


    As far as I could see, there were rows of archers on the hillside.


    The archer took the bow and arrow, and shot directly at the landing Cao soldiers.


    "Whew! Whew


    Dense bow and arrow like rain, constantly shooting.


    As soon as these bows and arrows were shot, Cao Jun was caught off guard.


    There was no time to resist, and even many Cao soldiers who had lost their weapons were shot and killed by bows and arrows as soon as they came ashore.


    Rao is so, or Cao soldiers on shore, and then break through.


    You can''t resist it in the water.


    On the shore, at least there is a ray of life.


    Waves of Cao soldiers rushed up, and finally broke through the archer''s line of defense. But as soon as the archer retreated, the spearmen came.


    Under the sunshine, the long guns were shining with cold light.


    The spear came out and stabbed the Cao soldiers mercilessly.


    "Puchi! Wheezing


    A series of spears pierced in, and then brought out a tent of blood.


    However, Cao''s army was still in charge one after another.


    Countless soldiers were killed and wounded. Cao''s army broke through and retreated quickly.


    Zhang Liao and Xun you, under the cover of the soldiers, finally escaped and retreated with the soldiers.


    In the rear, the pursuers are still coming.


    In the evening, they got rid of the pursuit of the rear, and no one was killed in the rear.


    They ordered a stop to rest.


    At the moment, Xun you and Zhang Liao''s faces were tired.


    Half a day''s flight, extremely embarrassed.


    But Zhang Liao did not care to rest, he ordered to count the number of people, a count down, Zhang Liao''s face, completely gloomy down.


    There were fewer than 6000 soldiers left.


    He brought more than 50000 elites, but now he has lost nearly 90% of them, which is a huge loss.


    Zhang Liao was silent.


    Especially now, more than 6000 soldiers have not eaten.


    This is the real problem.


    More than six thousand people were hungry, and each one was in a terrible predicament.


    Many of them were injured, and the situation is extremely bad.


    Zhang Liao came to the soldiers. He looked around at all the soldiers and said, "my sons, Sun Quan is treacherous and ambushes us halfway. If we do not take revenge, we will never give up. But now, we still need to pull back to the South Bank of the Yangtze River. We are less than a day away from the South Bank of the Yangtze River. Tomorrow, we can go back to the base camp. At that time, Shizi will be able to defeat the Wu army and avenge the dead soldiers. Now, all of them cheer up for Ben and withdraw all night. "After hearing this, the soldiers saw Zhang Liao''s calm look and his panic and fear calmed down a little.


    If Zhang Liao is not in chaos, they will be able to stabilize.


    Xun you stood up and stood beside Zhang Liao. He said in a loud voice, "Sun Quan broke the covenant and broke his faith. If you don''t kill Sun Quan, you will never stop! "


    "If you don''t kill Sun Quan, you will never stop!"


    In the army, there are soldiers shouting.


    During the daytime war, there were countless casualties.


    Countless soldiers have long hated Sun Quan.


    Xun you''s words resonated with the soldiers.


    Thousands of soldiers yelled, the voice gradually gathered a force, let the soldiers no longer as decadent as before.


    Zhang liaolang said: "rest for another half an hour, we will continue to retreat."


    "Here it is


    All the soldiers were ordered to rest again.


    However, many soldiers are hungry and extremely tired.


    I ran all day, didn''t have dinner at night, and soaked in the water for such a long time, so my spirit was very poor.


    Half an hour is fleeting.


    Zhang Liao and Xun you stood up and continued to retreat with their soldiers.


    The group retreated and soon came to the Fushui river.


    The floating bridge on the Fushui river is gone. All the boats and boards have been removed.


    WOW!!


    The river washes and waves in it.


    Zhang Liao looked at this scene, directly silly eyes.


    Floating bridge no longer, how to cross the river?


    The accompanying soldiers saw the scene and made a lot of noise.


    Without boats, it''s hard to cross the river. There are thousands of them.


    Now we have to cross the river. We can''t finish it in a short time.


    Zhang Liao bear mind, down in the heart of panic mood, looking at the shore.


    Unfortunately, there are no boats around.


    All the boats, boards, etc. have been removed.


    Xun you looked around and said, "there is no bamboo forest around. You can''t make bamboo rafts. We can only cut down trees and then cross the river by rafting. "


    Zhang Liao nodded and said, "that''s the only way. If you have a raft ready, you can still cross the river."


    Even though it took time to prepare the raft, Zhang Liao had no choice.


    At this point, it can only be so.


    Zhang Liao gave the order directly. In the moonlight, Cao''s soldiers kept cutting down trees and preparing to cross the river on rafts.

 Chapter 728

    After a busy night, all the soldiers under Zhang Liao finally crossed the river.


    That night, Zhang Liao was very nervous, worried that enemy soldiers would come after him.


    Fortunately, Lu Xun didn''t catch up all night.


    When the army crossed the river, the soldiers were already tired and dare not, and they were even more hungry.


    Zhang Liao did not let the soldiers stop to rest and told them to continue on their way.


    After crossing the Fushui River, you can return to the Bank of the Yangtze River in half a day at most. Whether it''s on the South Bank of the Yangtze River or on the North Bank of the Yangtze River, there are troops stationed. As long as they go back, there will be food.


    Soldiers are also up to speed up the road.


    Xun you''s eyes were full of blood. He followed Zhang Liao and said, "general, I think something is strange."


    Zhang Liao said, "what do you think of the military division?"


    Zhang Liao still had some doubts about Lu Xun''s non pursuit.


    Xun you looked solemn. As he walked, he said, "at the beginning, we were attacked by the water at the lower ferry. It can be said that we were defeated."


    "At that time, Lu Xun led the troops to cover up."


    "Most of our soldiers died or fled."


    "After we got out of the lower ferry, Lu Xun chased and killed for some distance."


    "But under the circumstances at that time, Lu Xun could further expand his achievements. If Lu Xun continues to chase us, even if we can get rid of Lu Xun, there will never be more than 6000 soldiers left. "


    Xun you''s eyes were solemn, and he continued: "let''s say Fushui river. Lu Xun already knows that we can cross the river. Why don''t we set an ambush here and just demolish the bridge?"


    "As long as we set up an ambush in the Fushui River, once we do not deal with it properly, we will definitely stay in the Fushui River completely."


    "But there was no ambush, no pursuit."


    "It''s weird."


    Xun you looked at the direction of the Yangtze River, with a deep worry on his face.


    This war can be said to be passive everywhere.


    It seems safe now, but Xun you thinks it is a hidden crisis.


    Zhang Liao''s eyes flashed a fine light and said, "military adviser, what do you mean?"


    Xun you said in a deep voice: "if Lu Xun doesn''t catch up, he will surely lay ambush on the way of our retreat, and then wait for work with ease. Our soldiers are tired from the long journey. Keep going and things will get worse. There is no doubt that if you are ambushed, you will be defeated. Moreover, I conclude that Lu Xun''s ambush is probably in Yunwu Mountain. "


    Yunwu Mountain!


    After hearing this, Zhang Liao''s eyes flashed a dignified look.


    Starting from the Yangtze River, the first place where there may be ambush is Yunwu Mountain.


    Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "if the enemy is in Yunwu Mountain, we are really in danger. Only now, if we want to avoid Yunwu Mountain, we don''t know how long it will take to get back to the Yangtze River. Most of all, we have no food. "


    If there is food, Zhang Liao will choose to hide in the mountains, and then send for help.


    But now hiding in the forest, what should these thousands of soldiers do?


    After hearing this, Xun you couldn''t help sighing.


    The biggest problem at the moment is the shortage of food for soldiers.


    Xun you said in a deep voice: "it seems that the current situation is that we have to go through Yunwu Mountain. Even if there is an ambush, we have to rush forward. "


    "Yes


    Zhang Liao nodded solemnly.


    If there is an ambush in Yunwu Mountain, Lu Xun will block the news.


    But Zhang Liao''s people were unable to deliver the news, and in the end, they could only be blocked in the Fushui river.


    Thousands of people are hungry. The longer they stay, the worse.


    If there are dozens or hundreds of people under Zhang Liao''s command, they can snatch some food and stay for a while. But in the current situation, if we want weapons but no weapons, if we want food but no food, if we want combat effectiveness but no combat effectiveness, we can only break through.


    As long as we break through, we have a chance.


    Xun you said: "Lu Xun didn''t catch up. In the cloud mountain, it was the soldiers Lu Xun had arranged before. Without Lu Xun, we still have a great chance. "


    Zhang Liao nodded and said, "the military adviser has a point."


    Two people have one to do not one to say, still continue to move forward.


    The distance to Yunwu Mountain is getting closer and closer.


    Zhang Liao has ordered the soldiers to be on guard, and sent some soldiers to inquire for information.


    However, none of the soldiers who were sent back to deliver the news.


    Arriving at the entrance of Yunwu Mountain, Zhang Liao''s uneasiness became more and more serious.


    When all entered the cloud mountain, Zhang Liao came to the front of the army and led the soldiers on their way.


    After turning a corner, Zhang Liao''s pupil shrank.


    Ahead, there was an army formation.


    The Sentinels he sent out were all killed and laid on the ground.


    The leader of this army is Lu Xun.


    Beside Lu Xun, Sun Jing was still standing.


    When Zhang Liao saw Lu Xun in front of him, he was in a panic. How could Lu Xun be here? What''s going on.At this time, it is difficult for the army to escape.


    The soldiers under Zhang Liao''s command, after climbing mountains and wading, consumed a lot of physical strength.


    It''s impossible to run around at this time.


    Lu Xun, dressed in green clothes, saw Zhang Liao coming with his soldiers and said with a smile, "General Zhang, Lu Xun has been waiting here for a long time."


    A loud voice came into Zhang Liao''s ears.


    Zhang Liao said, "Why are you here?"


    Lu Xun said with a smile: "the Fushui river runs through Danyang county. After you retreat, I will cross the Fushui River by boat and wait for you at Yunwu Mountain. Of course, when we passed the Fushui River, we took down all the boards and boats. I don''t expect you to arrive at that time. General Zhang, I haven''t seen you for a long time. "


    Smile, but with the intention to kill.


    Lu Xun is sure to win this battle. He will not let Zhang Liao escape again.


    The reason why he chose Yunwu Mountain was that Zhang Liao traveled all the way from xiadukou to Yunwu Mountain, and his soldiers were unable to replenish food, which had long been a matter of no combat effectiveness.


    There is no doubt that he will win this battle.


    Lu Xun said, "General Zhang, you are very vigilant and I admire you very much."


    "Unfortunately, after passing Yunwu Mountain and Fushui River, your vigilance has been relaxed."


    "And it''s hard to think of an underwater route."


    "If you attack directly after crossing the Yangtze River, I will admit defeat and dare not attack you."


    "But you want the whole Danyang county."


    "That''s where you lose."


    Lu Xun had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "General Zhang, you are a smart man. At this point, there is no point in resisting again. Surrender. "


    Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "never surrender! So far, the outcome has not been decided. It is not known who will win


    Lu Xun shook his head and said, "if so, please."


    As soon as he waved his hand, his archers immediately took their positions and all aimed at Zhang Liao''s soldiers.


    As long as Zhang Liao attacks, the archers will attack.


    Zhang Liao pulled out his sword at his waist. He looked at the soldiers under his command and took a deep breath. He said in a loud voice: "sons, as long as we get out of Yunwu Mountain, we will win. Kill me


    "Kill


    Six thousand soldiers yelled.


    Although the voice of the soldiers is hoarse, the courage of the 6000 soldiers is still there.


    Although the soldiers were tired, the spirit of 6000 soldiers was still there.


    Six thousand soldiers are worthy of war.


    Zhang Liao pointed to Lu Xun''s direction and ordered: "break through!"


    At the command, the soldiers charged straight.


    Even if there are bows and arrows in front of them, they must go forward. They had only one idea: to rush out of Yunwu Mountain and join the troops stationed by the Yangtze River.


    Lu Xun''s eyes were slightly cold, and he ordered: "shoot the arrow!"


    In a flash, Lu Xun''s archers released their arrows, and the dense rain of arrows swept through the air, shooting at the Cao soldiers.

 Chapter 729

    Arrow like rain, shot into the Cao soldiers.


    Bows and arrows constantly fall, harvesting life one by one.


    However, although the soldiers of Cao army were tired, they were brave and fearless of death. They kept rushing forward.


    Zhang Liao didn''t care at this time. At this time, the army was hard to form a battle line, and there was no question of how to command. He led the soldiers forward together.


    Break through!


    A way to fight!


    This is what Zhang Liao wants to do.


    The army kept rushing forward to shorten the distance between the two sides.


    When the distance between the two sides is less than 20 steps, the bow has lost its function.


    Sun Jing''s sharp eyes, he can''t wait to say: "kill!"


    Sun Jing takes the lead and goes out.


    Then the soldiers rushed up.


    The soldiers of Wu army rushed up and fought with Zhang Liao''s soldiers.


    Lu Xun did not make any more arrangements.


    Fighting is the best.


    Such fighting consumed both Zhang Liao''s soldiers and Wu''s soldiers.


    Although the two sides fought bravely, Cao''s soldiers were tired after all. They worked hard and then failed three times. After a fight, Cao''s soldiers'' spirit disappeared and began to fall into trouble.


    Lu Xun saw in his eyes that he once again ordered to launch a general attack, but he also ordered a few words to his personal guards.


    The soldiers in charge of the bodyguard rushed to the battlefield with the brigade.


    This pro guard kept rushing forward, but soon came to Sun Jing''s side.


    When he rushed forward, he held a dagger in his hand. When he rushed forward, he poked the horse''s ass carelessly.


    "Herod!"


    The horse whines and shakes wildly, shaking off Sun Jing on the horse''s back.


    This situation was immediately discovered by Cao''s soldiers.


    Cao''s soldiers rush up and beat the water dog with pain. After several knives, Sun Jing''s body is slashed to pieces, even a breath is gone.


    After fighting and killing several Cao soldiers, they withdrew and stood beside Lu Xun, nodding.


    Lu Xun is good at it. He has a smile on his face.


    Sun Jing is dead!


    This is the first one.


    He was the first person to take revenge on the sun family.


    Lu Xun''s face suddenly returned to calm. Seeing that the situation was more and more favorable to Wu''s army and Cao''s army was more and more decadent, he ordered: "summon orders and try to cover up."


    At the command, Lu Xun''s soldiers went out with all their strength.


    One by one, the forces rushed out, constantly impacting Cao''s defense line.


    In the end, Cao Jun was unable to stop it.


    Defeat like a mountain!


    Cao''s army was defeated completely, and was suppressed so that it could not be stopped.


    Lu Xun led the troops to cover up and killed them, and even more loudly he ordered those who came down not to kill them.


    After the order of surrender was issued, some Cao soldiers swore to fight to the death, and some Cao soldiers knelt down to surrender.


    On the one hand, Lu Xun sent people to control the surrender soldiers, and on the other hand, he led the troops to pursue the Cao army who did not surrender.


    Zhang Liao and Xun you kept retreating under the cover of soldiers. They wanted to break through the encirclement originally, but under the suppression of the Wu army, let alone breaking through the encirclement, it was difficult even to protect themselves, and they could only retreat step by step.


    The team retreated again and again, and finally pushed to the south entrance of Yunwu Mountain.


    However, when Zhang Liao retreated here, another army came out and cut off his retreat.


    The soldiers led by Zhang Liao were immediately attacked from the front to the back.


    At this time, there is no way to go.


    Zhang Liao''s face was cold and solemn, with a sword in his hand. He did not expect that he would come to this step.


    One step away, lose everything.


    This battle is a complete loss!


    Zhang Liao, with a knife in his hand and a look of dying, looked at the few Cao soldiers left around him and said, "brothers, do you dare to fight the last battle with this general?"


    Now Zhang Liao is ready to die.


    Better die than surrender.


    He was a general of the state of Wei and would never kneel down to surrender.


    "Follow the general to the death!"


    A soldier of Cao Jun clenched the sword in his hand and answered in a loud voice.


    "Follow the general to the death!"


    "Follow the general to the death!"


    There were a few soldiers left, all shouting.


    His voice was impassioned and full of faith in death.


    Even if you die, you will never surrender.


    Wu soldiers rushed up and surrounded Zhang Liao and others.


    Lu Xun also rode a horse, his eyes fell on Zhang Liao, light said: "General Zhang, I respect you are a man. Surrender, I will spare you from death. "


    Zhang Liao held the sword in his hand and said, "no way! Ben would rather die than surrender. "


    Lu Xun tut tut two, sighed: "General Zhang is incomparable, admirable. You are so stubborn that I want to kill you. But it''s useful to keep it for you. "At this point, Lu Xun looked solemn and ordered: "capture Zhang Liao and Xun you alive, and kill the rest!"


    At the command, the soldiers rushed straight up.


    The soldiers of Wu army rushed to kill quickly, while Zhang Liao led the soldiers to resist.


    Zhang Liao vowed not to surrender, and Lu Xun''s command to capture him alive caused great trouble to Wu soldiers.


    Xun you followed Zhang Liao, but he was not hurt.


    As the fighting continued, more and more Cao soldiers died, and fewer and fewer people were around Zhang Liao.


    "Hoo! Hoo


    Zhang Liao was panting with his sword.


    Zhang Liao couldn''t hold on to the constant fighting.


    Just as Zhang Liao gasped for breath, a soldier of Wu army flew directly at him and directly crushed him to the ground. Zhang Liao is ready to resist, but another soldier rushes over and directly presses Zhang Liao to the ground and takes him alive.


    Zhang Liao was captured alive, and Xun you didn''t hold on, so he was taken down soon.


    The rest of the soldiers were slaughtered.


    Lu Xun watched the war subside and ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.


    Then he led the army to the South Bank of the Yangtze River and set off.


    The next day, the army arrived at the South Bank of the Yangtze River.


    Lu Xun directly ordered the attack. Under Lu Xun''s elite attack, Cao''s soldiers stationed on the South Bank of the Yangtze River were quickly pulled out. When Cao Pi on the north bank saw it, he wanted to send troops to rescue him, but he was stopped by the water army of the state of Wu on the Yangtze River.


    The news that Zhang Liao and Xun you were captured soon spread to Cao Pi.


    Cao Pi was shocked at the news.


    Although Cao Pi was the commander-in-chief in name, Zhang Liao and Xun you were in charge of the army. Now they are both captured, and the situation is quite critical.


    Cao Pi could not retreat, so he ordered the soldiers to guard the camp to prevent the Wu army from robbing the camp.


    Lu Xun, however, did not take advantage of the victory to pursue. Instead, he led his troops to garrison on the south bank and sent people to send the news of the victory back to Wu County.


    Sun Quan was overjoyed at the news.


    Finally won a battle!


    Zhang Liao and Xun you were captured alive, which was very beneficial to the state of Wu.


    The only thing that makes Sun Quan a little sad is that Sun Jing was hacked to death by the army in the fight. Lu Xun also pleaded guilty to this matter. Sun Quan needs Lu Xun to stay in Danyang county. It''s impossible to punish him. He just arranges people to pick up Sun Jing''s coffin.


    Then Sun Quan sent people to call Zhang Zhao, Zhu Zhi, Gu Yong, Zhao Zi and others to the palace for discussion.


    Sun Quan said excitedly: "the battle of Danyang County destroyed nearly 50000 elites of the state of Wei. Besides, they also captured Xun you and Zhang Liao. What do you say next? "

 Chapter 730

    Gu Yong looked solemn and said, "Lu Xun was in Danyang county and captured Xun you and Zhang Liao. With two men in the king''s hands, Cao Jun did not dare to fight again easily. Chen believes that next we should fight Liu Xiu with all our strength. "


    Originally, Wu was attacked by Wei and Chu.


    Now the capture of Zhang Liao and Xun you is enough to restrain the state of Wei and make the state of Wei tied up.


    Facing Chu alone, Wu had a chance to fight back.


    Gu Yong was a little relieved at the moment.


    The situation was so bad that he couldn''t sleep all night.


    Now, at last, I can take a breath.


    After listening to Gu Yong''s words, Sun Quan nodded slightly, looked at Zhang Zhao, and said, "what''s Zhang Gong thinking about?"


    Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and sighed: "I think the situation is still very bad. Gu Yong''s consideration was based on Cao Cao''s consideration of the lives of Zhang Liao and Xun you. "


    "What if Cao Cao ignored them?"


    "Cao Cao mobilized a large army and sent troops to kill us. How can we resist?"


    "As a matter of fact, we are still facing both sides."


    Zhang Zhao said: "there are still great dangers in this war. The old minister thinks that after defeating Cao Jun, the key now is how to deal with Xun you and Zhang Liaoshang. The most important thing is how to deal with these two people. "


    Sun Quan nodded.


    Zhang Zhao''s analysis is also very reasonable.


    If Xun you and Zhang Liao are not dealt with properly, the problem of Cao Cao cannot be solved.


    Zhao said: "the state of Wu asked Cao Cao to surrender to the throne. The state of Wei has agreed to the terms. Zhang Liao led his troops south to Danyang County, but they were ambushed, so that Zhang Liao and Xun you were captured. Under Cao Cao''s fury, he will not give up. On the one hand, we broke the covenant first; on the other hand, Cao Cao lost so much that how can he give up


    Sun Quan said, "Zhao Zi, do you mean that Cao Cao will kill you?"


    "Very likely," Zhao said


    Gu Yong held a different opinion and said: "whether Zhang Liao or Xun you, they are all the confidants under Cao Cao''s command. If he dares to wage war, won''t he take their lives? "


    Zhao said: "will Cao Cao, the traitor of the world, be threatened because of Xun you and Zhang Liao?"


    Gu Yong was silent.


    Before Sun Quan sent Zhao Zi to Jiangxia, Liu Xiu was not threatened.


    Cao Cao is no less than Liu Xiu. Neither of them is threatened.


    It is quite difficult to use Xun you and Zhang Liao to threaten Cao Cao.


    In the face of the overall situation, Cao Cao can not change his decision.


    Sun Quan listened to the comments of his subordinates and said in a deep voice, "Duke Zhang thinks, what should we do with Xun you and Zhang Liao?"


    Zhang Zhao thought for a long time and said, "the king asked Liu Xiuhe for peace again, and then sent someone to send Xun you and Zhang Liao over, so as to alienate Cao Cao and Liu Xiu and break up the alliance between Chu and Wei."


    Sun Quan''s eyes twinkled when he heard the speech.


    Zhang Zhao''s proposal has been mentioned in Lu Xun''s letter.


    Lu Xun''s letter not only reported the war situation in front, but also involved the disposal of Xun you and Zhang Liao.


    Lu Xun proposed to transfer Zhang Liao and Xun you to Liu Xiu for disposal.


    Zhang Zhao took a look at Sun Quan, saw Sun Quan''s intention, and continued: "king, the state of Wu has a long way to go. He took Zhang Liao and Xun you, and severely damaged the state of Wei. At least in a short time, Cao Jun can''t break the state of Wu."


    "The state of Chu is the only one to worry about."


    "Under Liu Xiu''s command, the water army is also a first-class elite, not inferior to Wu."


    "The threat Liu Xiu brought to the state of Wu was far greater than that of Wei."


    "He gave Zhang Liao and Xun you to Liu Xiu. With Liu Xiu''s ambition of annexing the world, he would not go back to the mountains and hand over Xun you and Zhang Liao to Cao Cao."


    "When Cao Cao got the news, he was naturally angry."


    "At that time, the alliance between Chu and Wei was broken, and it would be impossible to attack Wu jointly."


    "In this war, our pressure will be relaxed."


    Zhang Zhao said in a deep voice: "moreover, we send people to Zhang Liao and Xun you for peace. As long as Liu Xiu accepts, the war between Chu and Wu will slow down. If Liu Xiu doesn''t accept it, it will be the current situation of the war at most, and it will be better to continue to fight. "


    Sun Quan said: "it''s a good move to bring disaster to the East."


    Lu Xun''s strategy is to bring disaster to the East.


    Xunyou and zhangliao were used to alienate.


    After Gu Yong thought about it, he suddenly said, "Duke Zhang, suppose Liu Xiu accepts our surrender. But Liu Xiu handed over Xun you and Zhang Liao to Cao Cao? "


    Sun Quan''s face changed slightly when he heard the speech.


    Yes, if Liu Xiu gave Zhang Liao and Xun you to Cao Cao.


    At that time, Liu Xiu will benefit.


    But Zhang Zhao was not impatient and explained: "Gu Yong, I just said that Liu Xiuzhi is in the world. In Liu Xiu''s eyes, he always thought that Cao Cao was the enemy. He had the chance to weaken Cao Cao. How could Liu Xiu not do it? ""Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan and others died in Liu Xiu''s hands."


    "If Zhang Liao and Xun you are killed again, we can imagine how much damage they will have on Cao Cao."


    "In particular, Xunyou was the leader of Cao Cao."


    "First Jia Xu and Zhang Yan, now Xun you and Zhang Liao. Can Cao Cao bear such a blow? "


    Zhang Zhao said: "it''s good for Liu Xiu to make friends with Cao Cao, but it''s also good for him to kill or imprison Xun you and Zhang Liao. I firmly believe that Liu Xiu will not release them. "


    Gu Yong''s eyes were solemn, and he said, "Mr. Zhang, you are unreasonable."


    Zhang Zhao said: "I''m just stating a fact, and I''m just putting forward my personal opinion. How to choose is up to the king. "


    Gu Yong''s big sleeve flicked, hummed and stopped talking.


    After the audience''s discussion, Sun Quan had made a decision in his heart and said, "as for the disposal of Zhang Liao and Xun you, I agree with what Zhang Gong said. With Liu Xiu''s temperament, he would not return Xun you and Zhang Liao to Cao Cao. Therefore, the king decided to send someone to escort them to Liu Xiu. "


    Gu Yong persuades: "the king can''t!"


    Zhang Zhao said: "Gu Yong, if he keeps Xun you and Zhang Liao, will he continue to be attacked by Cao Cao and Liu Xiu? If the alliance between Cao Cao and Liu Xiu is not broken, the state of Wu will not exist. This is the only way


    Sun Quan nodded.


    At present, the alliance between Liu Xiu and Cao Cao must be broken.


    After the decision was made, Sun Quan on the one hand ordered Zhou Yu to prepare for the war, on the other hand, he ordered Lu Xun to send Xun you and Zhang Liao back, and then asked Liu Xiuhe for peace.


    Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others left the Wu palace.


    Standing outside the mansion, Gu Yong stares at Zhang Zhao and says coldly, "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean? Can''t you see that once Xun you and Zhang Liao are handed over to Liu Xiu, we will have no initiative, and Cao Cao won''t worry about us? "


    Zhang Zhao said in a deep voice: "Yuan Tan, with Xun you and Zhang Liao in hand, will Cao Cao be scrupulous? Cao Cao is a man who would rather me be a loser. Will such people be constrained because of Xun you and Zhang Liao? You are so naive


    Gu Yong shook his head and said, "no, Mr. Zhang, you have selfish intentions. Although Zhang Liao and Xun you are in our hands, they may not be effective and may not be able to restrain Cao Cao. But the current situation will never be worse than handing over people to Liu Xiu. Once Liu Xiu hands over people to Cao Cao, the situation will be even worse for us. "


    Zhang Zhao said, "Yuantan, you are worried too much."


    Gu Yong brushed his sleeve and said, "I hope so."


    Zhang Zhao got into the carriage and left soon.

 Chapter 731

    When Zhang Zhao returned to his residence, a servant came to report, "my Lord, Lu Ji is waiting in the hall."


    "I see!"


    Zhang Zhao nodded and went straight to the hall.


    Entering the hall, Zhang Zhao said, "Gongji, follow me to the study."


    In the kingdom of Wu, both Zhang Jia and Lu Jia are big families, but Lu Ji''s seniority is one generation lower than Zhang Zhao''s.


    In the study, the guest and host sit down.


    Lu Ji looked forward and asked urgently, "Mr. Zhang, what''s the result?"


    Zhang Zhao said with a smile, "it''s done."


    "Good!"


    There is a touch of excitement in Lu Ji''s eyes.


    Zhang Zhao stares at Lu Ji, a touch of fine light passes in his eyes, and says: "Gongji, your Lu family is partial to Liu Xiu. Aren''t you afraid that I will report to the king?"


    Words, with a trace of banter.


    Lu Ji said, "isn''t Zhang Gong not denounced?"


    Zhang Zhao said with a smile, "I''m not sure. I changed my mind."


    Lu Ji looked very calm and said, "Duke Zhang has decided that since he has made a decision, he will not change it without permission."


    Zhang Zhao shook his head and chuckled.


    Lu Ji said, "is Mr. Zhang in the examination?"


    Zhang Zhao said: "it is well known that Lu Xun''s talent is unparalleled. I would like to hear Lu Gongji''s theory."


    "I have three reasons," Lu said


    "First, the general situation of Wu state has gone."


    "As the pillar of the state of Wu, and also an old minister of the state of Wu, Duke Zhang''s understanding of the state of Wu is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Now the state of Wu is in a corner. If the states of Chu and Wei don''t attack and overthrow, how can the state of Wu resist the attack? "


    "In terms of talents, the state of Wu has lost Lu Su, Tai Shici, Lu Meng and others. Now it only relies on Zhang Gong and Du Du to support it. On the contrary, the state of Chu has countless talents."


    "On the inside information, although the state of Wu has solved the problem of Shanyue, after all, the area is narrow, and Liu Xiu''s role in Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Liangzhou and other places has long been rich in inside information."


    "The advantage of the state of Wu lies in the water army. The state of Wei does not, but the state of Chu does."


    Lu Ji said: "under such circumstances, can the state of Wu still confront the state of Chu? That''s impossible. "


    Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and nodded slightly.


    Looking at Lu Ji, he was surprised.


    Lu Xun has occupied all the elegant demeanor of the Lu family. The world pays attention to Lu Xun, but ignores Lu Ji.


    Lujiayimen, all are talents!


    In Zhang Zhao''s heart, he couldn''t help feeling.


    Zhang Zhao said, "what''s the second reason?"


    Lu Ji smile, not impatient way: "second, Zhang Gong is the owner of Zhang."


    "Zhang Jia of Wu state is a big family."


    "Duke Zhang is a minister of Wu, but he is also the head of Zhang''s family."


    "Zhang Gong is loyal to the king and is willing to die for him. However, Zhang Gong had to consider Zhang Jia. Now that the general situation of the state of Wu is gone, Duke Zhang should consider himself as Zhang Jia. "


    "Without this identity, Zhang Gong might be loyal to the death."


    "But if Zhang Gong is bound, he can only choose the direction that is good for Zhang."


    Lu Ji''s eyes were bright and calm.


    After he got the letter from Lu Xun, he began to contact Zhang Zhao.


    As a person who has been in Wu for many years, Lu Ji naturally knows Zhang Zhao and knows him better. In addition, Lu Xun wrote to Zhang Zhao for help, and Lu Ji took advantage of the situation.


    With Zhang Zhao''s help, it is easier for the Lu family to take revenge and make greater contributions.


    Zhang Zhao was silent at the moment.


    It is true that Zhang Zhao is a minister of Sun Quan.


    However, Zhang Zhao is also the head of the family and the head of the family. He has to consider for the family.


    People who come from a noble family are generally concerned about their country and the world.


    First home, then country.


    Zhang Zhao is no exception.


    In history, when Cao Cao led his army to the South and launched the battle of Chibi, Zhang Zhao persuaded Sun Quan to submit to Cao Cao. Zhang Zhao''s persuasion, on the one hand, did not want Sun Quan and Cao Cao to fight each other, but on the other hand, it was for Zhang''s sake.


    Today''s situation is worse in the state of Wu.


    Facing the attack of Liu Xiu and Cao Cao, Zhang Zhao didn''t think Sun Quan could win.


    Under such circumstances, Zhang Zhao heard Lu Ji''s words and finally chose to help him.


    What about Lu Zhaoji? I''m all ears. "


    Lu Ji shook his sleeves and said with a smile, "even if Zhang Gong goes to report, it will not help."


    "The Lu family was still the Lu family of Wu state, and they did not collude with Liu Xiu or surrender to Liu Xiu. All we have to do is make friends with Liu Xiu and express a meaning to him. "


    "Mr. Zhang can''t slander the Lu family with only one mouth."


    "In particular, when the state of Wu was in turmoil, Boyan was in charge of the army outside. Once the Lu family was moved, I''m afraid the state of Wu would be more chaotic.""Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"


    Lu Ji looked calm and confident.


    In fact, when he went to persuade Zhang Zhao, he proposed to get close to Liu Xiu and make friends with Liu Xiu, but did not mention to submit to Liu Xiu.


    At this time, the state of Wu was already in a precarious state.


    Anyone can have two hearts.


    Everyone may have their own considerations.


    Even if the Lu family was close to Liu Xiu, there was no evidence that the Lu family had betrayed the state of Wu. Sun Quan had nothing to do with the Lu family.


    Zhang Zhao stroked his beard with a smile and said, "the world really underestimates you, Lu Gongji."


    Lu Ji said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang has praised me falsely."


    Zhang Zhao sighed and said, "I hope I''m right."


    Lu Ji said, "Duke Zhang will not regret what he did today."


    "Soon, Xun you and Zhang Liao will be escorted back," Zhang said. At that time, I will advise you to escort Zhang Liao and Xun you to Jiangxia county. Then you can do it again. "


    Lu Ji arched his hand and said, "thank you, Mr. Zhang!"


    "Goodbye!"


    Immediately, Lu Ji stood up and left.


    Lu Zhao left with a sigh. Today, he is also a capitulator and a person who has contact with Liu Xiu.


    When Lu Ji returned to his residence, he did nothing else but wait quietly.


    In early July, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.


    As for the state of Wei, the news has spread to Yecheng and Cao Cao''s desk.


    Cao Cao was so angry that he broke several vases when he learned that Zhang Liao and Xun you had lost nearly 50000 talents. Fortunately, Cao Cao''s headache has been cured, and the disease has not been affected.


    Cao Cao gave an order and called all his subordinates to discuss the matter.


    Palace, in the main hall.


    Cao Cao sits at the top, while Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Chen Qun, Sima Yi and others gather here.


    Everyone''s face was very dignified.


    Xun you is Cao Cao''s confidant.


    Zhang Liao is a great general of Cao Cao.


    The two men became the captives of the state of Wu, which had a great influence.


    Cao Cao looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Duke, Zhang Liao and Xun you were captured. The army sent by the king to attack the state of Wu was destroyed. Next, how to deal with it? "


    When they heard the words, they were all lost in thought.


    Cao Cao''s eyes were sharp and said, "Wen Ruo, what do you think?"


    Xun Yu presided over the internal affairs, but he was also a decisive counselor.


    Xun Yu said: "I will report to you that Xun you and Zhang Liao have been captured. If the state of Wei strikes at this point, it will lose its prestige and power. Therefore, it is necessary to attack Wu again. But before that, it''s time to put pressure on Liu Xiu. "


    "How to exert pressure?" Cao Cao asked

 Chapter 732

    Xun Jian was sitting in a critical position with cold eyes, and said: "since the first day of May, the state of Wei and the state of Chu jointly attacked the state of Wu."


    "Up to now, Liu Xiu has not made any progress."


    "The king sent someone to inform Liu Xiu to strengthen his offensive. Otherwise, the king will fight with Wu. "


    Xun Yu said: "if you don''t press Liu Xiu, he won''t go all out. In this war, after Liu Xiu restrained Zhou Yu, the pressure of the state of Wei was less, and Wu Jun could be captured as soon as possible. "


    Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "it''s no problem to put pressure on Liu Xiu. But what about Xun you and Zhang Liao? "


    Xun Yu said, "inform Sun Quan and return them to Xun you and Zhang Liao."


    Cao Cao said, "what if Sun Quan doesn''t give it to others?"


    Xun Yu said in a deep voice: "if Sun Quan didn''t give up, the king would attack the state of Wu. It is impossible for the state of Wei to give up the overall situation of the state of Wei because of Xun you and Zhang Liao. Unless, the king is willing to maintain the tripartite situation


    On hearing this, Cao Cao''s face showed a look of meditation.


    Continue to maintain the tripartite situation?


    Cao Cao didn''t want to.


    Now the situation is two strong and one weak.


    Cao Cao and Sun Quan united to fight against Liu Xiu, but they could not destroy him.


    Moreover, Cao Cao is over sixty years old, and he is already old.


    Liu Xiu is still young, Liu Xiu can wait, but Cao Cao can''t.


    It''s not good for Cao Cao to keep procrastinating.


    Cao Cao took a deep breath and said, "just do as Wen Ruo said. First put pressure on Liu Xiu, and then order Sun Quan to hand over Zhang Liao and Xun you."


    Cheng Yu said: "king, what if Sun Quan handed over Zhang Liao and Xun you?"


    Cao Cao''s narrow eyes narrowed and said, "Sun Quan handed over Zhang Liao and Xun you, and the king should accept the surrender of Wu. However, if you want to attack the state of Wu, you can find any reason. "


    Cheng Yu blinked and understood.


    Sima Yi said: "king, only Shizi is in charge of the front line. I''m afraid it''s not right. Please send the general to the front line as soon as possible."


    Sima Yi felt sorry for Cao Pi''s defeat.


    He planned to let Cao Pi go to the front line so that Cao Pi could make contributions. Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao and Xun you were captured.


    This result is beyond Sima Yi''s expectation.


    Cao Cao listened to Sima Yi''s words, turned his eyes and thought about arranging people to go there again.


    After a long time, Cao Cao said: "the army is good at guarding the ban, and transferred to Guangling county to be responsible for military affairs."


    Sima Yi then returned to his seat and sat down.


    Cao Cao suddenly said, "Sima Yi!"


    "I''m here!"


    Sima Yi quickly got up and looked respectful.


    In front of Cao Cao, Sima Yi was always cautious and did not dare to overstep.


    Cao Cao said, "you can''t be without a military adviser in the army. As a military adviser, you can go with Yu ban."


    "Here it is


    Sima Yi bowed her hand and returned to her seat.


    He became a military strategist, but Sima Yi was also excited.


    All the time, he was by Cao Cao''s side, dealing with his chores.


    Sima Yi''s talent and learning have never been revealed. Now she is looking forward to serving as a military adviser of the first army.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A rapid sound of footsteps came from outside the hall.


    A soldier came in, plopped on his knees, holding a roll of bamboo slips in both hands, and said, "king, 800 Li urgent letter."


    The servant took the bamboo slip and presented it to Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao spread out the bamboo slips and looked at them. His face turned black.


    "Son of a bitch!"


    Cao Cao grabbed the bamboo slip and fell to the ground.


    Seeing this, Xun Jian quickly got up and picked up the bamboo slips, then looked at them. After reading it, his face was dignified and sighed.


    Xun Yu handed the bamboo slips to Cheng Yu and asked him to check them.


    Cheng Yu''s face was dignified.


    This time, the rest of the people in the hall were a little nervous. What happened in the end, which made Cao Cao so angry.


    Cao Cao got up and paced back and forth with an angry look on his face.


    After a long time, Cao Cao sat down again and his face became calm again.


    After the anger, the things to be dealt with have to be dealt with.


    Cao Cao looked at the people under his command and said, "pi''er has just sent back the news that Sun Quan sent Xun you and Zhang Liao to the state of Chu. Sun Quan wants to send Zhang Liao and Xun you to Liu Xiu."


    "Son of a bitch!"


    Cao Cao roared angrily.


    He thought that Sun Quan would leave Xun you and Zhang Liao.


    But now, Sun Quan has sent people away.


    With Liu Xiu''s cunning, it''s hard to recover Zhang Liao and Xun you.


    After hearing this, they all looked very dignified.


    Sun Quan transferred Zhang Liao and Xun you, so that Cao Cao had to ask Liu Xiu for Zhang Liao and Xun you, which caused the contradiction between Cao Cao and Liu Xiu.Xun Yu said, "please calm your anger!"


    Cao Cao said, "to attack Wu, we must attack Wu."


    Xun Yu said: "it is necessary to attack the state of Wu, especially without the constraints of Xun you and Zhang Liao. But now, we''ve lost tens of thousands of people. "


    "First, more soldiers should be sent to Guangling county."


    "Second, the Yangtze River natural moat is always a problem. We must cross the Yangtze River. It''s no problem to let Yu Jin and Sima Yi go. Let them wait for the opportunity. "


    "Now the focus on Liu Xiu is not only to exert pressure, but also to ask Liu Xiu for Zhang Liao and Xun you."


    Xun Yu said, "since we are allies, it is reasonable for Liu Xiu to return Zhang Liao and Xun you."


    Cheng Yu said, "Liu Xiu won''t let people go easily."


    Xun Yu said: "no matter what, you have to send someone to let Liu Xiu release people."


    Cao Cao thought about letting Liu Xiu release people and said, "if Liu Xiu doesn''t release people, what should we do?"


    This matter must be considered in advance.


    Once Liu Xiu did not release people, Chu and Wei were in a deadlock.


    Xun Yu said: "Liu Xiu''s persistence in releasing people is the result that the state of Wu hopes to see. Liu Xiu will not fail to see this. I think Liu Xiu will agree to release people on the surface, but he will find reasons to delay. Because once the alliance breaks down, it won''t do Liu Xiu any good. "


    After hearing this, Cao Cao rubbed his sore temples.


    It''s too bad today.


    After thinking, Cao Cao said, "who is the most suitable person to send to Chu?"


    Cheng Yu said, "Yang Xiucai is outstanding in learning and resourceful. He is the most suitable person to go to Chu."


    Cao Cao listened to Cheng Yu''s suggestion, agreed with Yang Xiu as an envoy, and ordered: "come, please Yang Xiu!"


    After a short time, Yang Xiu came to the hall.


    Yang Xiu saluted and said, "I''ll see you, my Lord."


    Because Cao Pi was named the son of the world, Yang Xiu failed to mix with Cao Zhi.


    Today, Yang Xiu is also highly valued by Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao said briefly about the arrest of Xun you and Zhang Liao, then said: "Yang Xiu, you are resourceful. I hope you can bring Xun you and Zhang Liao back smoothly."


    Yang Xiu arched his hand and said, "I will do my best to live up to the great expectations of the king."


    In fact, Yang Xiu is not willing to take over this matter.


    Unfortunately, Cao Cao gave the order.


    Yang Xiu went back to his house and prepared for it. He packed up and drove south.

 Chapter 733

    Jiangxia County, Qichun county.


    By the ferry.


    A warship came through the waves and finally stopped at the ferry.


    A middle-aged man, dressed in white, walked out of the warship.


    This man is no other than Lu Ji.


    He started from Wu County and came along the Yangtze River by water, and soon arrived at the ferry in Qichun County, Jiangxia county.


    FA Zheng, with a faint smile on his face, went forward and said, "Gong Ji, you can count it."


    It was Fazheng who met him.


    The news of Lu Ji''s coming has already been spread.


    Liu Xiuzi welcomed Lu Ji with Zhang Liao and Xun you. Moreover, he had received Lu Xun''s letter before and knew it was Lu Xun''s plan.


    Lu Ji came on behalf of the Lu family, and Liu Xiu welcomed him.


    Therefore, Fazheng, who knew Lu Xun and Lu Ji, was sent to meet him.


    Lu Ji arched his hand and said, "Mr. FA is very polite."


    Fazheng said straight to the point: "brother Gongji, what about people?"


    Lu Ji said with a smile: "they are all on the boat!"


    With a wave of his hand, the soldiers of the state of Wu escorted Zhang Liao and Xun you out.


    Fazheng ordered people to take over Zhang Liao and Xun you and take Lu Ji to the barracks.


    When Lu Ji and his party arrived at the camp, Liu Xiu had led shamoko and Huang Hu to wait at the gate of the camp.


    As soon as Lu Ji got out of the carriage, he saw Liu Xiu.


    According to his dress, bearing and age, Lu Ji judged that Liu Xiu was the one to greet him.


    Fazheng reminded: "brother Gongji, the man at the gate of the camp is the king."


    Lu Ji nodded.


    At this time, Lu Ji was also very happy.


    The fact that Liu Xiu was able to meet him in person shows that Liu Xiu attached great importance to it.


    He walked quickly to Liu Xiu, folded his hands, saluted respectfully and said: "Lu Jia Lu Ji, meet the king of Chu."


    That''s interesting.


    Lu Jia, Lu Jia, not Lu Ji of Wu state.


    In his words, Lu Ji has already indicated his identity.


    Liu Xiu held up Lu Ji and said, "I''ve admired Mr. Wang for a long time. I''m very lucky to see him today."


    Lu Ji knew that this was a polite remark, but he felt comfortable.


    Liu Xiu''s attitude is very respectful.


    Lu Ji said: "the king of Chu praised me falsely, but I am not worthy of it."


    Liu Xiu said: "Mr. hard all the way, please follow me into the barracks."


    Lu Ji said, "please, king of Chu!"


    The party entered the camp, and the guests and hosts took their seats.


    Lu Ji said straight to the point: "king of Chu, I have two things to do when I come to Qichun county. First, Xunyou and zhangliao were handed over to the king of Chu; second, the king of Wu hoped that the king of Chu would accept the surrender of Wu. "


    Liu Xiu looked at Lu Ji and asked, "Mr. Lu thinks, how should I deal with Wu''s request for surrender?"


    On hearing this, Lu Ji became serious.


    Liu Xiu''s words are tantamount to testing him.


    Although Lu Ji and Lu Xun were still in the state of Wu, the Lu family had long been subordinated to Liu Xiu.


    Lu Ji said: "king, it''s not difficult to deal with the surrender of the state of Wu. Zhang Liao and Xun you are in the hands of the king. The king just needs to put forward the conditions for the king of Wu to enter Jingzhou. "


    Entering Jingzhou meant that Sun Quan gave up his military power.


    Sun Quan would never agree to such a condition.


    Liu xiudao said: "if the king let Sun Quan into Jingzhou, Sun Quan would not agree. However, Zhang Liao and Xun you fell into the hands of the king. How do you explain to Sun Quan? "


    Lu Ji was not impatient and said: "even if the king of Chu did not accept the surrender of Wu, Sun Quan would give Zhang Liao and Xun you to the king. The reason is to hope that the alliance between Chu and Wei will break down. "


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    Lu Ji''s analysis is correct.


    Lu Ji''s first mission to Jiang Xia was to stir up the alliance between Liu Xiu and Cao Cao, and the second was to surrender.


    Liu Xiu said: "the king let Sun Quan into Jingzhou, but Sun Quan didn''t agree. This means that Wu''s plan to surrender was not successful. How did Liu Xiu tell you when he went back to Wu County? "


    When Lu Ji heard this, he had a bright smile on his face.


    He had thought about it for a long time.


    Lu Ji was calm and upright, and said, "the king only needs to blame the next 20 soldiers with his staff. When he goes back to Wu County next time, he will naturally be able to make an assignment."


    Liu xiudao: "bitter meat plan!"


    Lu Ji said: "the king is wise. I''ll fight for it. The king doesn''t agree with the conditions. He must ask Sun Quan to enter Jingzhou. In the end, the king of Chu''s staff is responsible for the next 20 army staff, residence and camp. It''s so simple. "


    Liu Xiu said, "in this way, it will be hard for you, sir."


    Lu Ji said: "it''s not surprising that there is a little pain in skin and flesh."


    Liu Xiu said, "I''m going to hold a banquet tonight to help you. We will wait until tomorrow to discuss the political affairs formally. In front of the other officials of the state of Wu, it''s a good play. "


    Lu Ji said, "thank you, king."


    After a conversation, Liu Xiu changed his mind and said, "what''s the state of Wu like now?"Lu Ji said: "the whole state of Wu is worried about the destruction of Wu. All the officials have been thinking about the way back. On the one hand, it was Bo Yan''s plan, on the other hand, it was Zhang Zhao''s cooperation. Now, Zhang Zhao is on this side. "


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "I will remember the credit of Mr. and Boyan."


    That evening, Liu Xiu hosted a banquet for Lu Ji and the state of Wu.


    On the next day, Liu Xiu formally received Lu Ji and his entourage of Wu officials.


    Lu Ji formally handed over Zhang Liao and Xun you, and then put forward the conditions for Wu to surrender. Liu Xiu, in front of the ministers of the state of Wu, offered to let Sun Quan enter Jingzhou to accept the surrender of the state of Wu.


    Lu Ji argued with reason and never gave in.


    In the end, Liu Xiu was angered. He was scolded by Liu Xiu for his twenty army staff and then expelled from the barracks.


    Lu Ji was lying in the carriage and his buttocks were swollen. What Liu Xiu and Lu Ji discussed was to fight falsely, but Lu Ji wanted to fight truthfully. Lu Ji was seriously injured when these 20 army sticks came down.


    The accompanying officials were furious in their eyes.


    "Lord Lu, Liu Xiu is too arrogant. After accepting Zhang Liao and Xun you, they refused to surrender. Not only that, but also criticizing Lord Lu. It''s really deceiving. "


    "Yes, Liu Xiu is so hateful."


    "Alas, this time the surrender failed. What should Wu do?"


    ¡­¡­


    The atmosphere of the people was very good, but they were also worried.


    Everyone was clear about the state of Wu. Liu Xiu refused to surrender. What should the state of Wu do?


    Lu Ji endured the pain and said, "you guys, I''ve been beaten. However, Zhang Liao and Xun you were still handed over to Liu Xiu. It was originally arranged by the king, so Liu Xiu forced Xun you and Zhang Liao to stay, which is no problem. "


    "The most important thing is to alienate Liu Xiu and Cao Cao."


    "As long as Liu Xiu and Cao Cao turn over, even if we don''t succeed in asking for surrender, it won''t make much difference."


    "If two tigers fight, there must be one injury."


    "As long as Liu Xiu and Cao Cao lose each other, Wu will be safe."


    Lu Ji was lying on the carriage. His voice trembled as he spoke.


    When they heard the words, they all nodded.


    However, when people looked at Lu Ji, they were all fighting for him.


    Lu Ji looked in his eyes, but he laughed in his heart. He used bitter meat, to ensure that after going back, can smoothly to Sun Quan.

 Chapter 734

    Not long after Lu Ji left, news spread to Jiangxia that the envoys of the state of Wei had entered Nanyang, Jingzhou, and were on their way to Qichun county.


    When Liu Xiu got the news, he knew that he was here for Zhang Liao and Xun you.


    Although Cao Cao lost XiahouDun, XiaHouYuan, Zhangyan and others, he was still full of talents.


    Cao Cao has no shortage of generals or counselors.


    However, among these people, there are also three, six and nine grades, and their importance is different.


    Xun you is one of the most outstanding counselors of Cao Cao.


    Zhang Liao is one of the most important generals in Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao can''t give up these two people easily.


    Liu Xiu sat in the camp, thinking about how to deal with Zhang Liao and Xun you.


    It is the best policy to imprison them in Qichun county.


    The best policy is to close down two people.


    It''s the best strategy to take two people for your own use.


    Liu Xiu said, "come on!"


    Deng Zhan entered the camp and saluted: "king!"


    Liu xiudao: "bring Zhang Liao up."


    "Here it is


    Deng Zhan went on to arrange it, and soon Zhang Liao was brought into the camp.


    Zhang Liao was not tied hands, he stood in the tent, see Liu Xiu, look calm, no change.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "General Zhang, please sit down!"


    Zhang Liao arched his hand and sat down in the camp.


    Liu xiudao: "General Zhang, would you like to work for the king?"


    This is a trial.


    Liu Xiu didn''t believe it. As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Liao was directly obedient. It was impossible.


    Zhang Liao zhengse way: "a minister does not serve two masters, the end will be the Minister of the king of Wei, can not serve for the king of Chu, please forgive the king of Chu."


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu sneered twice.


    Zhang Liao looked up at Liu Xiu, but did not ask.


    Liu Xiu sneers, or does he mean something?


    It''s just that he''s not interested.


    Liu Xiu fixed his eyes on Zhang Liao and said in a deep voice, "if you remember well, general Zhang was a general under the command of Mu Dingyuan in Bingzhou, right?"


    Zhang Liao frowned.


    What does Liu Xiu mean?


    Do you want to go through the old accounts?


    Zhang Liao was frank and said: "I really worked for Ding Yuan."


    Liu Xiu continued: "Ding Yuan was killed by Lu Bu. All the troops under Ding Yuan''s command belong to Dong Zhuo. Then, general Zhang will work for Dong Zhuo, can you tell me? "


    Zhang Liao said, "it''s true."


    His heart was even more heavy.


    Liu Xiu''s words are all things he has experienced, and he can hardly refute them.


    Liu Xiu continued: "after Lv Bu killed Dong Zhuo, general Zhang worked for Lv Bu again, right?"


    "Yes


    Zhang Liao answered directly.


    Zhang Liao didn''t think there was anything wrong with playing for Lv Bu.


    He is a general in the army and has never betrayed anyone?


    Liu Xiu said: "after Cao Cao killed Lv Bu, general Zhang surrendered to Cao Cao. Now that the general is in the hands of the king, why should he say that one minister does not serve two masters and is not willing to submit to the king? "


    There was a banter in his eyes.


    Zhang Liao is a talented person.


    He wants to see how Zhang Liao answers.


    However, today''s Zhang Liao, though highly valued by Cao Cao, has made many achievements in war. In fact, he has not yet reached the peak in history.


    In history, after Zhang Liao surrendered to Cao Cao, he helped Cao Cao recruit Changhe and defeat Yuan Shao.


    However, the peak battle of Zhang Liao was in 215 A.D.


    At that time, Cao Cao was attacking Hanzhong and was deadlocked with Liu Bei. Sun Quan took the opportunity to dispatch 100000 troops to attack Hefei.


    Sun Quan has a total of 100000 troops, but the total strength of Hefei is only 7000.


    There is a great disparity in strength between the two sides, not at the same level.


    Logically speaking, Sun Quan won steadily, but Zhang Liao won in the end.


    In order to change the situation, Zhang Liao decided to weaken the morale of Wu army first, and then stick to the strategy of consuming the morale of Wu army.


    Zhang Liao personally recruited 800 dead men and quietly attacked.


    In Zhang Liao''s surprise attack, the Wu army was unprepared and was defeated. Zhang Liao also killed the General Chen Wu and others in the eastern Wu Dynasty, which made the formation of the Wu army chaotic. Zhang Liao even approached Sun Quan''s camp and nearly killed him.


    Facing the encirclement of Wu army, Zhang Liao finally broke out.


    After Zhang Liao broke through the encirclement, Li Dian took his men to fight with the Wu army, which resulted in heavy casualties and demoralization of the Wu army.


    After the war, the morale of Wu army was frustrated, and Zhang Liao''s first step plan was successfully completed.


    After that, Sun Quan attacked the city for more than ten days, but he failed to break the city and had to retreat with his troops. When the Wu army retreated, Sun Quan made a big mistake again. He took a few generals to inspect the North Bank of Xiaoyaojin, and they happened to be found by the spies of the Wei army.Zhang Liao made a decisive attack on Sun Quan.


    Fortunately, Ganning, Lvmeng and others fought hard to let Sun Quan escape.


    After the first World War, Zhang Liao was famous all over the world.


    Today''s Zhang Liao has not reached the historical level.


    Zhang Liao stared at Liu Xiu and said in a deep voice, "king of Chu, although I worked for Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, I have never betrayed anyone."


    "I''m just a soldier. I''m only responsible for leading the soldiers to fight."


    "It''s not a disgraceful thing for me to lead the soldiers to surrender after the death of the commander."


    "If the king of Chu can overthrow the state of Wei and kill the king of Wei, I will serve the king of Chu."


    "Only when the king of Wei is still here, Zhang Liao will not surrender."


    "One minister does not serve as two masters. It is not that he is loyal to one person all his life, but that he works in his position. I''ll take the salary of the king of Wei and do my duty for him. "


    Zhang Liao''s words were eloquent and eloquent: "the king of Wei is still here, Zhang Liao will never surrender. If the king of Chu wants to kill him, I have nothing to say. "


    "Good!"


    After hearing Zhang Liao''s words, Liu Xiu couldn''t help applauding.


    Liu Xiu couldn''t help admiring Zhang Liao''s words, and he was right.


    The more so, the more Liu Xiu appreciated Zhang Liao.


    Liu Xiu originally wanted to make Zhang Liao difficult and suppress him verbally, but after listening to Zhang Liao''s words, he gave up his mind to suppress Zhang Liao and to solicit him.


    Cao Cao is still here. It is impossible to recruit Zhang Liao.


    Liu xiudao: "General Zhang is a hero. I admire him very much. If the king calls for surrender again, he will insult General Zhang. You will stay in the barracks and eat and drink. "


    Zhang Liao stares at Liu Xiu and suddenly says, "king of Chu, I''m a soldier. Since the king of Chu is no longer calling for surrender, why don''t we release me and compete on the battlefield? "


    After listening to this, Liu Xiu burst out laughing.


    Zhang Liao said, "what does the king of Chu laugh at?"


    Liu Xiuse said: "General Zhang, I appreciate you and I''m not recruiting you. But it does not mean that the king will return to the mountain and let you return to the command of Cao Cao. War is not a joke. It''s life and death. I can''t release you. "


    After listening, Zhang Liao sighed.


    He wanted to motivate Liu Xiu to release him.


    As long as Liu Xiu is laissez faire, Cao Cao will not spare his mind to rescue him and Xun you.


    Unfortunately, Liu Xiugen did not let people go.


    Liu Xiuse said: "General Zhang, if it''s unnecessary, I won''t say it. General Zhang will stay in the camp and have a rest."


    Immediately, Liu Xiu called the soldiers and asked them to take Zhang Liao back.


    Liu Xiu was not disheartened when he failed to recruit and surrender, and this was expected by Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu immediately ordered the soldiers to send for Xun you to come to the camp.


    Xun you is a wise man and a confidant of Cao Cao.


    In the past, Liu Xiu met Xun you when he was in Xuchang.


    Now we meet again, but things are different. Liu Xiu is no longer in the past.

 Chapter 735

    Xun you went to the barracks, washed up last night, and changed into a black robe.


    After a night''s rest, I have recovered.


    Today''s Xun you is a man of fifty years old. Although he was old, his demeanor did not decrease at all. Under the baptism of the vicissitudes of time, he was more elegant and elegant.


    Xun you stood still in the camp and said with a smile, "I''ve met the king of Chu."


    Liu xiudao: "Mr. Xun, sit down!"


    "Thank you, King Chu!"


    Xun you lifted his robes and sat down in the tent.


    Liu Xiugen didn''t mention the recruitment of surrender. He said, "would Mr. Xun like to join the lumen Academy of Chu to teach and educate people?"


    Xun you raised his eyebrows.


    Liu Xiu''s words are too surprising.


    Xun you had thought that if Liu Xiu wanted to surrender, he would not agree. He would rather die than surrender.


    Liu Xiu killed him, but Cao Cao didn''t stop him.


    But when Liu Xiu opened his mouth, he asked if he was going to lumen Academy?


    Xun you naturally knew about the lumen Academy of Chu.


    Lumen academy is the official Academy of Chu, which is equivalent to the Imperial Academy. However, the teachers in lumen academy are all great scholars and talented people.


    As soon as he thought about it, Xun you laughed: "the king of Chu is really wise. Knowing that I won''t betray the king of Wei, I have found a new way to go to lumen Academy."


    Liu xiudao: "so I know Mr. Wang."


    For people like Xun you, they are not much different from Zhuge Liang.


    Zhuge Liang is not willing to work for Liu Xiu.


    Because Liu Bei gave him too much, Zhuge Liang did not want to go out.


    The same is true of Xun you.


    Cao Cao gave Xunyou too much. Moreover, Xunyou''s family was a family of Wei. Xunyou''s family background made him unable to surrender. Otherwise, how can the Xunzi family deal with itself?


    Xun you shook his head and said, "the king''s kindness, Xun you''s understanding. In a short time, I don''t want to enter lumen Academy. "


    Liu xiudao: "is Mr. Xun waiting for Cao Cao to save him?"


    Xun you said, "I believe in the king of Wei."


    Liu Xiu said, "I will tell you that Cao Cao has sent envoys. This time it''s Yang Xiu. He has entered Jingzhou and will arrive in Qichun County soon. "


    Liu Xiu didn''t tell Zhang Liao about the news.


    In front of Xun you, there is no need to hide.


    Zhang Liao was a real soldier who only knew how to lead the soldiers to fight.


    But Xun you is different.


    Xun you is not only a strategist, but also a politician. It is not proper to conceal these things in front of him. Let Xun you know that Liu Xiu and Xun you can have a deeper conversation.


    Xun you heard that Yang Xiu was coming, and he was also relieved.


    He knows Yang Xiu''s talent.


    Yang Xiu is eloquent, quick-minded and resourceful. As an envoy, he is the right person.


    Liu Xiu said, "what conditions does Mr. Xun think Yang Xiu can give?"


    Xun you shook his head and said, "I don''t know."


    Liu xiudao: "I can tell Mr. Xun my bottom line."


    Xun you looked up at Liu Xiu. He thought for a moment and asked, "what is the bottom line between the king of Chu and Zhang Liao?"


    Liu xiudao: "Cao Cao ceded the land of Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou."


    Boom!!


    In Xun you''s mind, there seemed to be thunder.


    In the three states, Zhang Liao and Xun you were replaced.


    It''s too harsh. It''s a lion''s mouth.


    Liu Xiu looked at Xun you''s surprised expression and said with a smile, "why, does Mr. Xun think it''s not right?"


    Xun you said with a bitter smile: "the king of Chu''s condition is equivalent to directly telling the king of Wei to refuse the peace talks. But the king of Chu could only force the king of Wei to Sun Quan. "


    "Once the king of Wei made an alliance with Sun Quan, the king of Chu could not destroy Sun Quan."


    "Sun Quan is here, and the world is still three legs."


    "If the situation of tripartite confrontation is not broken, it is impossible for the king of Chu to rule the world."


    Xun you finished, with a look of severity on his face.


    In Xun you''s opinion, if Liu Xiu wanted to maintain the alliance between Chu and Wei, he had to release people, otherwise Cao Cao could fall to Sun Quan.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Mr. Xun is very resourceful. Can''t he come up with a solution to this situation?"


    Xun you said: "I can''t think of a solution."


    Liu Xiu light said: "the solution is very simple, Wang has already been ready.". Therefore, Mr. Xun can rest assured. Unless Cao Cao cedes Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou, he will not release people. "


    Xun you said, "I can''t think of any solution for the king of Chu."


    Liu xiudao: "Mr. Xun will wait and see."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "it''s a pity that Mr. Xun can be outstanding and trapped under the command of the king. I''m looking forward to the day when Mr. Xun can serve the state of Chu. ""In fact, it''s not too much for the king to ask Cao Cao to cede the three states."


    "It''s easy to get a thousand troops, but hard to get a general!"


    "And it''s hard to find a real strategist."


    "Zhang Liao is a great general who can take the lead."


    "Mr. Xun is a strategist."


    "It''s not too much for you two to change three states."


    Liu Xiu looked at Xun you and said, "what does Mr. Xun think?"


    Xunyou said: "the king of Chu praised me falsely. Xunyou is a scholar. He has no power to bind a chicken. He can only boast. What is his ability? If I have the ability, I will not be led by Lu Xun''s nose, so that I will be captured by Lu Xun alive. "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "losing to Lu Xun is because Wu''s initial surrender is a false surrender."


    "Under such circumstances, once you cross the river and go south to Danyang County, you''ll fall into the trap."


    "Moreover, if you want to seize Wu County and Sun Quan as soon as possible, you will naturally fall into the trap."


    "With greed and the surprise of the state of Wu, who could have expected that?"


    Liu Xiu said: "Mr Xun''s defeat to Lu Xun is not due to his lack of intelligence. But in the circumstances, was there a better choice? "


    Xun you gave a bitter smile. He was defeated after all.


    Liu xiudao: "Mr. Xun, I sincerely hope that one day I can get help from Mr. Xun."


    Xun you arched his hand and said, "thank you, King Chu. I''m a little tired now. "


    At the moment, Xun you felt powerless.


    Liu Xiu showed his attitude, and Xun you was very disappointed. In a way, Liu Xiu valued him, but this was not what Xun you hoped.


    Liu Xiu did not speak any more and told people to take Xun you down.


    Liu Xiu talked with Xun you and Zhang Liao respectively, and roughly understood their ideas.


    Neither of them can surrender.


    It''s a pity for Liu Xiu to kill Xun you and Zhang Liao. They are all real talents.


    Only for the time being.


    When Cao Cao is defeated, they will change in the end.


    Liu Xiu put his mind away and began to prepare the time to meet Yang Xiu.


    Three days is fleeting.


    On this day, in the morning.


    As the day went by, Liu Xiu was on patrol in the camp, and the soldiers reported that Yang Xiu was outside the camp. Liu Xiu returned to the camp and sent someone to take Yang Xiu into the camp.

 Chapter 736

    In history, Yang Xiu made a great contribution in helping Cao Zhi seize the throne.


    Every time Cao Cao took an examination of Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, Yang Xiu helped Cao Zhi find out in advance. It''s not particularly difficult to see through Cao Cao''s mind. Yang Xiu can see through Cao Cao''s mind as well as Xun Yu, Xun you and Cheng Yu.


    However, Yang Xiu broke it every time.


    Cao Cao couldn''t hold on to his face, but he could not bear it.


    After all, Yang Xiu upset Cao Cao.


    When Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong, he was defeated many times and his heart was agitated.


    One day, Cao Cao said "chicken ribs" in front of Yang Xiu.


    Yang Xiu left the big account of the Chinese army and told them to pack up and prepare to withdraw. They were puzzled and asked. Yang Xiu explained that chicken ribs are tasteless, but it''s a pity to abandon them. He thought Cao Cao would withdraw from the army.


    Everyone knows that Yang xiucongmin, but they don''t doubt it. They all pack up to leave.


    Cao Cao inspected the camp and found that the soldiers had packed up their salutes.


    There was anger in his heart. After being stimulated by the situation in the army, he could no longer contain his anger. After learning that it was arranged by Yang Xiu, Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu on the charge of bewitching the morale of the army.


    On the whole, Yang Xiu is really talented.


    It''s just that Yang Xiu''s character is too much publicity.


    Yang Xiu looked calm, arched his hand and said, "Yang Xiu, envoy of the state of Wei, meet the king of Chu."


    Liu xiudao: "master Yang, please sit down!"


    "Thank you, King Wei!"


    Yang Xiu gave thanks and sat down.


    Yang Xiuse said: "king of Chu, it''s almost August now. Up to now, the state of Chu has not made any progress in attacking the state of Wu. This is not the style of the king of Chu. "


    "In the past, the king of Chu defeated Zhou Yu and ambushed him with intrigue and won a great victory."


    "The king of Chu defeated Liu Bei, set up a plot to capture Chen Dao, and came to Jiaozhou."


    "The king of Chu defeated Liu Zhang in the past, and the two armies advanced. In a short time, they came to Chengdu."


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    "Throughout all the wars of the king of Chu, the military was extremely important and the war was solved in a short time."


    "In recent years, it was only a short time for the king of Chu to kill Liu Bei last year."


    "If we attack the state of Wu again now, there will be no movement for several months, and we can''t make full use of it. The king of Chu and the king of Wu wanted to take advantage of the state of Chu


    As soon as Yang Xiu spoke, he was questioning.


    Sharp words, do not give Liu Xiu a trace of face.


    Cao Cao sent him to the state of Chu. First, he put pressure on Liu Xiu to attack the state of Wu as soon as possible. Second, he wanted to return Xun you and Zhang Liao.


    What Yang Xiu is doing now is "the feud between the state of Wu and the state of Chu, and the common people of the state of Wu are hostile to the state of Chu. Zhou Yu''s position in Lujiang County has taken the advantage of Renhe. "


    "Under such circumstances, it''s reasonable that I didn''t make the best of myself."


    Liu Xiu said, "master Yang, war can''t be judged by the time when it was fought. In this war, Wang also tried his best. It was only Zhou Yu who was strong that he could not make the best of it


    "Don''t you see that Zhang Liao and Xun you have been captured?"


    "From this, we can see that Wu Guoqiang is great."


    "It''s reasonable that we didn''t make progress."


    Liu Xiu stared at Yang Xiu with a smile and said, "master Yang, what do you think?"


    Yang Xiu shook his head and said, "the king of Chu had too many reasons to find. Although the state of Wu had a brilliant Navy, it was not impossible to win in front of the king of Chu. As for the capture of Xun you and Zhang Liao, it was also the result of Wu''s treachery. "


    "The state of Wu asked the state of Wei to surrender. My king pitied the king of Wu and accepted it."


    "However, the king of Wu turned his face directly."


    "Can the king of Chu resist such a cunning and merciless Sun Quan?"


    Yang Xiuse said: "Xun you and Zhang Liao were defeated because they didn''t know how to March and fight. It''s not because they were not cautious and intelligent. It''s because Sun Quan was treacherous."


    In the face of Liu Xiu, Yang Xiu did not give in at all.


    In words, Liu Xiu is not inferior.


    Liu Xiu said, "I agree with what master Yang said. Master Yang can rest assured that the king will urge Huang Zhong and Tai Shici to speed up their troops and strive to win Lujiang County and Yuzhang County as soon as possible. "


    And Yang Xiu continue to reorganize, there is not much significance.


    After a dispute, Liu Xiu stopped talking about it.


    Yang Xiu also knew the purpose of his coming. When he saw that Liu Xiu was soft hearted, he changed his words and said, "king of Chu, there is another thing to do in the state of Chu."


    "Chu and Wei are allies."


    "Now, Zhang Liao and Xun you are in the hands of the king of Chu. Please return them to the king of Chu."


    "After all, they are officials of the state of Wei."


    Yang Xiu didn''t give any benefits. When it comes to Zhang Liao and Xun you, Liu Xiu will certainly offer them.


    Giving the bottom line at this time is like giving in.


    Yang Xiu came to negotiate, so he asked Liu Xiu to release him as soon as he opened his mouth.


    Liu Xiu tut tut two, said: "Chu and Wei are allies, and now, Chu is lack of food and weapons, master Yang, is the king of Wei free to give millions of stone grain to Chu, and then give hundreds of thousands of sets of armor, in order to solve the plight of Chu?"Once this is said, the edge is revealed.


    Chu was not short of food and weapons.


    When Liu Xiu said this, he just attacked Yang Xiu.


    Yang Xiu understood Liu Xiu''s meaning. It was impossible for the state of Wei to take Xun you and Zhang Liao away without any money or food.


    Yang Xiu said: "the king of Chu was short of food and armour. Naturally, the king of Wei was willing to help the king of Chu solve his difficulties. What''s more, Xun you and Zhang Liao are different things. They can''t be confused with grain. "


    "What''s the difference?" Liu asked


    "In the alliance between Chu and Wei, should the king hand over what he has?"


    "These are also the efforts of Wang in exchange for."


    "Although Sun Quan gave Xun you and Zhang Liao to the king, the king also paid a corresponding price."


    Liu Xiu stared at Yang Xiu and said, "does master Yang understand the meaning of the word ''price''


    Yang Xiu''s eyes narrowed after listening.


    He knew that Liu Xiu was asking for conditions, and he needed sufficient conditions from the state of Wei to release Xun you and Zhang Liao.


    But Yang Xiu is not going back.


    He is not at the end of his tether, and he is not forced to make an offer.


    Yang Xiuse said: "the king of Chu, the state of Wei and the state of Chu should help each other for mutual benefit. If the king of Chu holds Xun you and Zhang Liao, it is not conducive to the alliance between the two countries. Once the alliance collapses, it is not good for the king of Chu. "


    The threat is from Yang Xiu.


    The threat of the collapse of the treaty between the two countries is Yang Xiu''s strength.

 Chapter 737

    Liu Xiu couldn''t help laughing when he heard Yang Xiu''s words.


    Does this threat work?


    As for Yang Xiu''s threat, Liu Xiu has considered it for a long time, and he is not afraid of it at all.


    Confidence comes from strength.


    The state of Chu now has enough strength.


    Especially for the layout of Wu state, Lu Xun, Zhang Zhao and others worked secretly, and Liu Xiu was much easier to conquer Wu state.


    Liu Xiu said, "is it good for the state of Wei to break the treaty between Chu and Wei?"


    Yang Xiu raised his head and said, "even if the state of Wei doesn''t get the benefit, it won''t let the state of Chu destroy the state of Wu. Without the help of the state of Wei, it would be wishful thinking for the state of Chu to destroy the state of Wu. "


    Liu Xiu light way: "looks like, Yang book is to eat set this king."


    Yang xiudao: "the state of Wei had to be like this."


    At this time, Yang Xiu looked forced.


    Liu Xiu said: "the state of Chu and the state of Wei made an alliance to attack the state of Wu together. If the state of Wei wants to tear up the alliance, I don''t mind. "


    Hiss!


    Yang Xiu took a breath.


    Liu Xiu''s words are strong.


    If Liu Xiu is not afraid of the state of Wei tearing up the alliance, then the state of Wei will have no chance to restrain Liu Xiu.


    Yang xiuqiang cheered up and said, "I''m afraid the king of Chu didn''t mean what he said."


    Liu Xiu said, "how ever did I bluff? Now, does Wang still need to bluff? "


    After listening, Yang Xiu was silent.


    Even though he is eloquent, he has no room to play in front of Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu is determined not to let people go, and his threat is useless.


    In particular, Liu Xiu is not under threat.


    This makes Yang Xiu very difficult.


    Yang Xiu''s mind turned and thought about the way to break the situation. If he didn''t break the situation and bring back Zhang Liao and Xun you, he would not be able to deliver to Cao Cao.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "it''s not impossible to talk about Zhang Liao and Xun you."


    Yang Xiulian said: "how is the king of Chu going to talk about it?"


    Liu xiudao said: "the state of Wu defeated Zhang Liao and Xun you, and had such a great influence on the state of Wei. Is the king of Wei going to swallow his words?"


    "Go back and tell the king of Wei to destroy Wu first, and then talk about Zhang Liao and Xun you."


    "As long as Cao Cao can afford it, I will release people."


    "In a word, the prerequisite for releasing people is to join hands to destroy the state of Wu."


    Liu Xiu put forward the conditions.


    This is Liu Xiu''s threat to Cao Cao. As long as Zhang Liao and Xun you are in hand, they will not worry about Cao Cao''s failure to send troops.


    It is impossible for Cao Cao to swallow such a big loss.


    Yang Xiuse said: "the king of Chu said to destroy the state of Wu first, and then talk about the conditions. So, what are the conditions of the king of Chu? If I want to return to Yecheng and give back the news, please give me a rough condition. "


    Liu Xiu said: "for a while, I can''t think of the right conditions."


    "There must be a condition," Yang asked


    When it comes to the problem of handing over duties to Cao Cao, Yang Xiu can''t just go back.


    Otherwise, he will not be able to explain in front of Cao Cao.


    Liu Xiu asked, "do you really want a condition?"


    Yang xiudao: "need!"


    Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "I''ll just talk about it."


    Yang Xiu looked dull and said, "king of Chu, please tell me. I''m all ears."


    He won''t believe Liu Xiu''s words.


    As the king of Chu and the head of a country, one word can determine life and death. How can a person with such status talk about it casually?


    Liu Xiu said directly, "master Yang needs conditions. Let Cao Cao cede Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou. As long as Cao Cao ceded the three states, the king would release Xun you and Zhang Liao. "


    Yang Xiu''s face suddenly changed.


    Three states, isn''t that a joke?


    Yang Xiushan said, "is the king of Chu really joking?"


    Liu Xiu said half true and half false: "well, I''m just joking. With this condition, master Yang can hand over to Cao Cao. "


    Yang Xiu is about to cry.


    How can such conditions be crossed?


    There''s no way to do it.


    Yang Xiuyan dripped and said, "please tell the king of Chu a more practical condition. In this way, our king can send troops to attack Wu. Attacking Wu is good for Wei and Chu, isn''t it? "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "that''s also the truth."


    Yang xiudao: "please give an accurate condition to the king of Chu."


    Liu Xiu said jokingly: "just now, I have said it. I can say any condition, and master Yang agrees with it. Now, I have given the conditions. Why don''t I agree? "


    Yang Xiu''s mouth twitched.


    He felt that Liu Xiu was teasing him.


    In a moment, we should seriously state a condition, but in a moment we will not.


    Yang xiudao: "please give the king of Chu a suitable condition."Liu Xiu did not tease Yang Xiu any more. He said forcefully, "the conditions of the king are the same. The land of the three states will be replaced by Xun you and Zhang Liao. In Cao Cao''s eyes, Xun you and Zhang Liao could not even change the land of the three states? They have made more contributions than that. "


    Yang Xiu looks at Liu Xiu.


    Seeing Liu Xiu''s solemn and cautious expression, he sighed.


    At this moment, Yang Xiu knew that Liu Xiu would not change his mind.


    This time Yang Xiu was an envoy, he just felt very depressed.


    Cao Cao asked him to beat Liu Xiu. Not only did he fail to beat Liu Xiu, but he was rather constrained, unable to wrestle with Liu Xiu.


    In order to let Liu Xiu release Xun you and Zhang Liao, Liu Xiu not only did not release people, but also put forward conditions.


    In a word, this mission failed.


    Yang Xiu has been thinking about how to go back to the job.


    After thinking about it, Yang xiudao said, "king of Chu, I want to see Zhang Liao and Xun you."


    "Yes


    Liu Xiuying ordered the soldiers to take Zhang Liao and Xun you.


    As soon as they entered the camp, they just stood, and before they could say a word, Liu Xiu said, "take them down."


    The soldiers went down with Zhang Liao and Xun you.


    Yang Xiu stares big eyes, a pair of inconceivable expression: "king of Chu, what is this to do?"


    "Xun you and Zhang Liao know something they can''t say," Liu said. So you can''t talk to them alone. "


    Yang Xiu had some regrets in his heart.


    He proposed to meet Zhang Liao and Yang Xiu just to meet them and talk to them.


    But Liu Xiu blocked it again.


    Knowing that he could no longer obtain useful information, Yang Xiu arched his hand and said, "king of Chu, I have to go back to Yecheng immediately. Goodbye."


    Liu Xiu nodded and watched Yang Xiu leave.


    After Yang Xiu left, Fazheng rushed to the camp.


    Fazheng bowed his hand to Liu Xiuxing and said, "king, Jiangdong, the layout has been completed, and Lu Xun has won. I think it''s time to break through Zhou Yu''s line of defense and make a massive attack. "


    From May to July, to this day, Tai Shi Ci and Zhou Yu have been fighting each other, but there has never been a big war.


    This result is actually the result of Liu Xiu restraining the army.


    Liu xiudao: "Lu Ji went back with a body injury, and Yang Xiu was disappointed. Both Sun Quan and Cao Cao have dealt with it properly. They have sent orders to Tai Shici to start war. "


    "Here it is


    Fazheng was excited.


    After a long time of preparation, it is time for war.

 Chapter 738

    Jiancheng county is located in the southwest of Nanchang County.


    This county is located in Yuzhang county.


    Tai Shi Ci and Ma Su led the troops to fight and had already killed in Nanchang County. But when Zhou Yu was in Nanchang County, taishici failed to break through. In addition, Liu Xiu asked taishici to postpone the war, and the war was temporarily deadlocked.


    In August, Jiancheng county was slightly cool.


    The wind is cool.


    In the barracks, the soldiers had a lot of smiles on their faces.


    When the autumn wind blows, the soldiers will have a better time at night.


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    Tai Shici and Ma Su are sitting in the tent.


    With a bitter look on his face, Tai Shici looked at Ma Su and sighed: "military strategist, we have been fighting for more than three months since May. If this war is delayed, it will be autumn rain."


    Ma Su said: "the king is still waiting for the opportunity. Let''s wait for a moment."


    In fact, Ma Su also wanted to fight.


    He has been in Jiangxia county since he served as taishici''s military adviser.


    Liu Xiu attacked Liu Zhang in Yizhou, but Ma Su failed to take part.


    Liu Xiu attacked Zhanglu in Hanzhong, but Ma Su failed to take part.


    Liu Xiu and Cao Cao fought a decisive battle in Nanyang, but Ma Su did not take part.


    All along, Ma Su served as the supreme historian, and said, "how can the people be disturbed?"


    Ma Su said: "I have a three-step plan to completely disperse the popular sentiment of Nanchang people After the three-step plan, Zhou Yu could no longer defend Nanchang County. "


    Ma Su elaborated the detailed plan carefully.


    After taishici heard it, his expression was solemn.


    He made a careful deduction and said, "it''s feasible. Our decisive battle with Zhou Yu starts from this step."


    Ma Su said: "in that case, I will start to operate."


    Taishici said, "it''s hard work."


    He got up, left the camp and went down to make arrangements.


    It took Ma Su three days to get everything in order.


    ¡­¡­


    Nanchang city.


    Inside the city, barracks.


    Lu Ji came to see Zhou Yu in the big account of the Chinese army.


    Lu Ji recovered a lot from the injury on his buttock all the way back, but he still walked a little bumpy and limped.


    Lu Ji said: "Du Du, Liu Xiu accepted Zhang Liao and Xun you, but he offered that if the king wanted to surrender, he would have to enter Jingzhou. The lower officials and Liu Xiu argued with each other, but in the end they were blamed by Liu Xiu''s staff for the 20th army staff. "


    "The king is not expected to agree to Liu Xiu''s terms."


    "So it is estimated that there will be a real war between Wu and Chu."


    "Please prepare for the war."


    Lu Ji''s worried expression seemed to be worried that Zhou Yu could not resist.


    Zhou Yu said: "it is expected that Liu Xiu will not accept the resignation. As long as Liu Xiu accepted Zhang Liao and Xun you, it was enough. With Liu Xiu''s cunning and ruthlessness, he won''t let the tiger go back to the mountain. Once the state of Chu and the state of Wei split, the goal was achieved. "


    "As for the war between Chu and Wu, Gongji is at ease."


    "The commander-in-chief and Liu Xiu have been fighting for many years, and they are not at Liu Xiu''s disposal."


    "Besides, now it''s just taishici who has arrived in Yuzhang County, while Huangzhong is still at the border."


    "The governor can cope with the current situation."


    With self-confidence on his face, Zhou Yu said, "when you go back to Wu County, tell the king to let him rest assured. As long as Zhou Yu is in Yuzhang County for one day, Yuzhang county will not be lost. Zhou Yu is here, Yuzhang county is here. "


    Lu Ji nodded.


    But Lu Ji''s heart, in fact, longed for Zhou Yu''s defeat.


    On the surface, he is loyal to Sun Quan.


    In fact, he is already Liu Xiu''s side.


    If Zhou Yu was defeated, Chu''s army could drive straight into Wu, which was very beneficial to Chu.


    Lu Ji said, "the governor of Dadu still needs to cherish his body."


    Zhou Yu said, "no harm!"


    After a pause, Zhou Yu asked, "Gongji, what''s the situation in Wu County? The state of Chu and the state of Wei launched a joint attack. How about the wind? "


    After hearing this, Lu Ji sighed.


    Zhou Yu''s eyes narrowed. A cold light flashed through his eyes and said, "what''s the matter?"


    Lu Ji said: "the state of Wei and the state of Chu came to kill, and the government and the opposition were in turmoil. Nowadays, many of the ministers in the court are in charge of surrender. I have heard that many people have contacted each other privately. "


    Zhou Yu snorted and said, "a group of weeds on the wall."


    Lu Ji said: "no matter how the rear talks about it, it will not affect the fundamental."


    "When Zhang Liao and Xun you were captured, Wu won a battle."


    "There is still a battle to be won, as long as the governor of Dadu defeats Liu Xiu and wins once."


    "Then, all the arguments in the rear will disappear."


    Lu Ji is also a person who talks nonsense when he sees people. Facing Zhou Yu, he doesn''t show any flaw. Instead, he is cheering him up.Lu Ji''s talent is not bad.


    It''s just that Lu Xun is so outstanding that he conceals Lu Ji''s talent.


    Zhou Yu nodded solemnly and said, "Gongji, don''t worry. The governor will prepare for this war. You''re right. The state of Wu needs a victory, a victory to defeat Liu Xiu. "


    At this time, Zhou Yu made up his mind.


    In this war, he will do his best.


    Even though Liu Xiu was strong and cunning, Zhou Yu was not afraid of him.


    Lu Ji stood up and said, "governor Dadu, I don''t want to stay because I have to tell the king the news."


    Zhou Yu got up and said, "I''ll see you off."


    Immediately, Zhou Yu got up to send Lu Ji away, and then returned to the camp.


    As soon as he returned to the camp, Zhou Yu ordered the whole army to prepare for war and pay more attention to the movement of the front line. Lu Ji once again failed to surrender to Liu Xiu. Zhou Yu believed that the real war was coming.

 Chapter 739

    Nanchang city.


    West of the city!


    This is the slum of Nanchang city.


    Most of the poor people live in this area.


    That''s where the good and the bad mix up.


    On this day, there was chaos in the slum.


    An old man in his early fifties, carrying a gong, was standing in the Western vegetable market.


    "Folks, I can''t live any longer."


    The old man roared.


    He roared and banged the gong.


    With the old man''s shouting, more and more people gathered around.


    Seeing more and more people around him, the old man opened his eyes and said, "folks, we have been fighting with the state of Wu and the state of Chu for so many years. Grain was collected countless times, but nothing came out of it. "


    "The old man''s two sons died on the battlefield."


    "The eldest grandson of the old man also died on the battlefield."


    "Although the family''s life is hard, it can go on."


    "But now, the old man''s two daughters-in-law died of depression and the old woman died, leaving him alone."


    "What''s the point of going on like this?"


    The old man said this, a runny nose, a tear, incomparable sadness.


    He cried, tears running down the furrows of his face, all over the folds.


    The old man''s words resonated with many faiths.


    The state of Chu and the state of Wu have been fighting for more than ten years, especially Yuzhang County, which is located in the front line of war.


    In such a place, the people are naturally hard.


    Many people''s families died on the battlefield.


    When people die, people have to bear it.


    However, with the war going on for a long time, food consumption is increasing, and the burden on the people is increasing. Many people in Nanchang county can no longer afford it.


    The old man continued: "villagers, if we go on like this, we won''t be able to live. We''ll go to the governor of Dadu, Zhou Yu, and ask him to open a warehouse to release grain for us. "


    "Which of you would like to go with the old man?"


    The old man asked.


    The people below looked at each other.


    Many people hesitated.


    Going to find governor Zhou Yu of Dadu to open a warehouse and release grain for relief is against the government.


    People have a natural fear of the government.


    The old man should ask all the people to go together. Naturally, the people don''t want to.


    After a while, all of a sudden, a man suddenly said: "Damn, no matter. If a man dies, a bird will die. Anyway, there''s no food left. If we put it off, we won''t live. Are you still afraid of Zhou Yu? "


    Another humanitarian: "yes, let it go. Anyway, we are all cheap. We have no grain at home. We''d better fight for it. "


    "Yes, count me in."


    "Count me in."


    "We have so many people that we don''t believe Zhou Yu. What about us?"


    "Go together, go together!"


    "Come on, let''s go together."


    ¡­¡­


    More and more people, shouting.


    Originally, there was no response from the people, but after someone came forward to respond, more and more people took part in it.


    Things are getting out of hand.


    People''s minds were stirred up.


    The original people were afraid of the government and Zhou Yu, and did not dare to go to the government to open a warehouse to release grain. However, more and more people join in, which increases the confidence of the people and gives them courage.


    It''s a lot of courage.


    One by one, the people were shouting.


    When the old man saw that the people were fully mobilized, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he began to smile.


    In a moment, he was calm again.


    The old man yelled, "fellow villagers, follow me."


    He beat the Gong, where the people have to make way for the elderly to walk.


    The old man walked in the front, followed by others.


    The party ran towards the barracks.


    On the way, the old man was still beating the gong and publicizing. After hearing this, countless people joined in.


    On the official road, a long dragon winding.


    The people have formed a long and powerful dragon.


    People''s actions were quickly discovered, and then the news spread to Zhou Yu''s barracks.


    Zhou Yu was touring the camp when he heard a message from the soldiers that some people were coming towards the camp. His face suddenly became cold.


    These days, Zhou Yu has been on guard against the sudden killing of Tai Shici.


    Before taishici, the people came first.


    Zhou Yu is very alert. His mind turns around and he thinks that the people are coming together. I''m afraid it''s not easy.


    If the people are simple, how dare they go to the government for explanation.Someone must be behind the scenes.


    Zhou Yu was alert in his heart, and then gathered the soldiers'' vigilance and came to the camp door.


    Not long after, Zhou Yu saw a black line on the official road outside the camp. The line is constantly creeping towards the camp.


    "Open the warehouse and release the grain!"


    "Open the warehouse and release the grain!"


    ¡­¡­


    One voice after another comes from far and near.


    When Zhou Yu heard the people''s shouts, his face turned black again. He quickly gave orders.


    Soon, a group of soldiers gathered in the camp.


    The number of soldiers is not large, which is only about 300, but these 300 soldiers are all valiant, one by one full of the fierce atmosphere of the battlefield.


    Zhou Yu looked at the soldiers, nodded slightly, and then waited quietly.


    It''s not long.


    The voice of the common people became louder and louder, and the common people were clearly reflected in Zhou Yu''s eyes.


    The black people gathered outside the camp, and they were still shouting, still shouting for food.


    When Zhou Yu saw that the people did not stop shouting, his brows were even more wrinkled.


    These people are not good at coming!


    How many of them are behind the scenes?


    Zhou Yu''s face was solemn. He raised his hand and chopped it in the air.


    "Kill


    In a flash, it was like the cry of thunder, suddenly resounding in the camp.


    Three hundred soldiers, all of a sudden.


    The voice of three hundred people is like a mighty torrent, full of gold and iron, and more powerful.


    The fierce intention of killing came from the army.


    This sound, as if in an instant, brought the people into the boundless sea of blood.


    The voice of the people outside the camp suddenly stopped.


    They seemed to be suddenly pinched, their faces were red, their ears were swollen, and their eyes were even more frightened. The common people are always the common people. They have a natural fear of the government and the army.


    Zhou Yu suddenly interrupted the momentum of the people.


    All the people who were originally fierce shut up and their eyes fell on Zhou Yu.


    Zhou Yu seized the opportunity and stepped forward. He carried his hands on his back and said in a loud voice, "who is the leader among you? Find someone who can make decisions and come forward to talk. You can''t solve the noisy system. "


    The eyes of all the people looked at the old man.


    All the people are instigated by the old people. At this time, it is the old people who come forward naturally.


    The old man did not flinch. He stooped a little and went to the front of the common people. Then he arched his hand and said, "little son and grandson Province, meet the governor of Dadu."


    Zhou Yu nodded: "I''m very polite, since I''m in charge. What''s going on over there? "

 Chapter 740

    Zhou Yu stared at Sun Sheng, his eyes were kind, but deep in his eyes, he was sharp.


    The people of Nanchang city are incited. There must be a promoter behind the scenes.


    The person in front of you may be the pusher.


    At this moment, countless people''s eyes are focused on the old man.


    Sun was not afraid of Zhou Yu and said, "governor of Dadu, the little old man is from Nanchang. He has lived in Nanchang for generations."


    "My two sons and one eldest grandson died on the battlefield."


    "The daughter-in-law of the little old son died of depression when she learned that her husband had died. Even now, I don''t know whether to fight it or not. "


    "It''s just that the little old man knows that there is no food at home."


    "How can we support without food?"


    "No one can survive. What can we fight in this war?"


    Sun Sheng saluted and said, "please, governor, don''t fight any more. Moreover, we have no food, and we are short of grain. I urge the governor to open warehouses and release grain to relieve the people who have no grain. "


    As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately supported by countless people.


    Although the state of Wu has been striving for development in recent years, it also has a certain foundation.


    However, there was still a shortage of grain in Wu state.


    Especially for ordinary people, life is more difficult.


    In the history of Wu state, because Liu Bei and Cao Pi could not destroy Wu state independently, and Sun Quan had both the right and the left, and had Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, the food was abundant.


    However, there is only Jiangdong in the state of Wu.


    Jingzhou is in Liu Xiu''s hands, so is Jiaozhou.


    At the same time, both Jingzhou and Jiaozhou posed a threat to the state of Wu, which led to the fact that the state of Wu had to increase its troops to defend.


    Sun Quan''s influence is far worse than that in history.


    When Zhou Yu heard sun''s words, he couldn''t help sighing. As the governor of the state of Wu, he naturally knew the state of Wu.


    In particular, Nanchang City, as the front line, is even more difficult.


    However, Zhou Yu is still extremely calm.


    Zhou Yu looked at Sun Sheng and said, "father-in-law, what you mean and what the villagers mean is clear to me. I have something to say to you. I hope the villagers can listen to me. "


    Sun said, "please speak, governor of Dadu."


    At this time, Sun Sheng was on guard. In fact, he was afraid of Zhou Yu.


    The governor of the state of Wu is an existence under one person and above ten thousand people.


    Besides Sun Quan, Zhou Yu is the biggest.


    Zhou Yu turned to look at the 300 soldiers behind him and ordered, "lay down your arms and take off your armor and clothes."


    "Here it is


    Three hundred soldiers answered neatly.


    One by one, the soldiers put down their weapons, then took off their outer armor, and then prepared to take off their inner clothes.


    This scene, fell in the eyes of the people outside the camp, one by one stunned.


    What does that mean?


    How could Zhou Yu make the soldiers take off their armor and clothes?


    Everyone''s eyes were curious, but no one interrupted because of the soldier''s power just now. Everyone watched quietly.


    In a moment, three hundred soldiers took off their coats and bare their upper body.


    At this moment, countless people glared with a look of shock.


    Including Sun Sheng, seeing the soldier''s bare upper body, he could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, with a look of shock on his face.


    Of the 300 soldiers.


    The 30 soldiers in the front row, each with a scar on his upper body.


    The scars are like traces.


    This is true of everyone, not one or two scars, but dozens, large and small, all over the soldiers.


    From this, we can see its tragic.


    Zhou Yu pointed to three hundred soldiers and said in a loud voice, "see? Every soldier has so many scars on his body. Every soldier has been injured in many ways. "


    "Where did their injuries come from? They all came from fighting with the state of Chu. "


    "Since fighting with Chu for decades, there have been countless sons and daughters of Wu who have died, and these 300 people are the only ones who have survived."


    "They used to be teenagers in their prime, but now they are middle-aged."


    "Once upon a time, they were clean without a scar. Now, it''s already covered with scars. "


    "They leave so many scars and countless blood. Can they be reconciled?"


    Zhou Yu talked about it. He looked at Sun Sheng and said, "father-in-law sun, your son and grandson died on the battlefield. I feel very sad. Similarly, the families of countless villagers present also died on the battlefield. "


    "Since the war with Chu, they have all died on the battlefield."


    "Now I want to give up fighting with Chu. Are they all dead in vain?"


    "Do you want the life and hatred of Wu''s son Lang?"


    "No, I''m not reconciled.""The sons and daughters of the state of Wu went with the idea of protecting their homes, making contributions and making their parents safe."


    "However, they are dead!"


    "I remember their hatred in my mind."


    "If we don''t break the state of Chu, we will never give up."


    "No revenge, no rest!"


    Zhou Yu clenched his fist and waved heavily in the air. His eyes swept outside the camp, only to see the people outside the camp, all silent, a look of pain on their faces.


    Up to now, countless people''s relatives have died on the battlefield.


    Hatred has long been engraved in my heart.


    How can we be reconciled without revenge?


    Zhou Yu''s words hit the softest place in the hearts of the people and made them waver.


    They came to ask for a strike, but after hearing Zhou Yu''s words, they were all moved by Zhou Yu, thinking about their dead relatives.


    A feeling of grief permeated the hearts of the people.


    A sense of common hatred rose among the common people.


    Sun Sheng also admired Zhou Yu''s words. He said, "the governor''s words are also agreed by the young man. No revenge, no rest. We can''t give up the enmity of old children and grandchildren. But without food, what should the people do? Many people in Nanchang have no food to eat. "


    No food is the key.


    Sun''s words directly diluted the atmosphere of sharing hatred with the enemy.


    People want revenge, but they are hungry.


    How can you resist if you don''t have enough to eat?


    Sun also said: "governor of Dadu, the army must have grain. Can we open warehouses to release grain to relieve the people in the city. If the people don''t have food and Liu Xiu doesn''t come to attack, we can''t resist it. "


    Listening to sun''s words, Zhou Yu felt a little cold.


    He firmly believed that the old man in front of him was the one arranged by the state of Chu.


    Otherwise, sun won''t pester him.


    Zhou Yu''s face was calm and his eyes were solemn. Once again, he said, "the governor already knows what father-in-law Sun said."


    "As for grain, our governor has already sent people to Wu county to ask the king of Wu to allocate grain."


    "Soon, there will be food."


    "As a matter of fact, the food supply in the army is already tight."


    "The soldiers under my command, the non combat auxiliary soldiers, support one meal a day, and the combat soldiers have two meals a day. But they still insist, because the war with Chu has just begun. "


    "Folks, please be considerate."


    "Wait a little longer. Once the grain is delivered, I will open the warehouse and release the grain."


    Zhou Yu made a promise in front of the people.


    The people came in a fierce manner, and it was difficult to pacify the people if they didn''t promise them.

 Chapter 741

    Zhou Yu folded his hands. Facing the people, he bowed and said, "please give me a little more time. When the grain arrives, I will solve the grain crisis."


    Zhou Yu''s attitude has been very low.


    In fact, Zhou Yu knew the situation of Nanchang city. Although Nanchang city was on the front line, it was not so short of food.


    There are so many people here, many of them are poor.


    In both prosperous and troubled times, there is a need for food.


    As for the army, there is still plenty of food.


    The soldiers didn''t have a meal a day, which was made up by Zhou Yu.


    Otherwise, it is difficult to pacify the people.


    Zhou Yu''s words, after all, stabilized the people, so that the people are no longer fierce, and no longer so fierce.


    "Well, we believe in the governor. Wait a little longer. "


    "We believe in the promise of the governor."


    ¡­¡­


    Among the people, some people were touched and agreed to Zhou Yu''s words.


    This situation was immediately supported by the rest of the people.


    One by one, the people spoke and the wind direction changed. They all stood on Zhou Yu''s side.


    Sun saw the change of the people, thought about it in his heart, and no longer insisted on it. In front of Zhou Yu, if he insists, he may be targeted by Zhou Yu.


    Sun said: "the governor of Dadu has made a statement, and I believe it. Even if you tighten your belt, you have to endure it for a while. "


    After hearing this, Zhou Yu was relieved.


    It''s done!


    Stabilize the people for the time being!


    With a smile on his face, Zhou Yu said, "thank you for understanding."


    Sun said, "folks, let''s go. We are waiting for the news from the governor, who will soon mobilize food for us. "


    "It''s all gone, it''s all gone!"


    "Let''s wait a little longer."


    "Wait a little longer, the hard days will soon pass."


    One by one, the people were shouting.


    Wave after wave of people left spontaneously, outside the camp, gradually empty down.


    Half an hour later, the people dispersed completely.


    With a wave of Zhou Yu''s hand, three hundred soldiers put on their armor again, and then returned to the camp.


    Xu Sheng came to Zhou Yu and said, "governor of Dadu, the people in the city suddenly gathered at the camp. I''m afraid it was incited. Behind this, there may be the shadow of Chu people. "


    Zhou Yu said in a deep voice, "it''s not possible, it''s certain."


    He went straight to the camp.


    Back in the camp, Zhou Yu looked at Xu Sheng and said, "send someone to follow sun province and inquire about his whereabouts. Find a chance and get him. "


    "Here it is


    Xu Sheng answered, then turned and left.


    Zhou Yu sat in the tent and rubbed his face with a tired look.


    Zhou Yu had a pale look on his temples.


    Zhou Yu was only 40 years old, but he was stationed in Nanchang county all the year round. He had been fighting with the state of Chu. Zhou Yu was already exhausted, but he insisted on it all the time.


    Zhou Yu was on the alert when the people made trouble.


    If it''s a stratagem, there should be a follow-up.


    Inciting the people to make trouble is only the beginning.


    Zhou Yu was on the alert. He also sent someone to tell the Sheriff of Yuzhang county to be on guard. He also told the magistrate of Nanchang county to pay close attention to the changes of Nanchang County, and then devoted himself to the army.


    Afternoon, evening.


    Xu Sheng is back.


    Xu Sheng came to the central army tent, his face cold Su, said: "most governor, sun province disappeared."


    "Disappeared?"


    In the pupil of Zhou Yu''s eyes, there was a hint of consternation.


    How can a living man disappear?


    Zhou Yu said, "as soon as the people retreat, I will let you arrange for them. Even if he is out of the city immediately, he should be able to find his whereabouts. How can he disappear? "


    Xu Sheng shook his head and said, "it''s just that he didn''t find anyone. It''s like he disappeared out of thin air. There''s no trace at all."


    Zhou Yu''s eyebrows were more dignified.


    After a long time, Zhou Yu said, "it''s nothing. If you can''t find it, you can''t find it. However, according to this situation, it can be determined that the sudden gathering of the people in the barracks is a conspiracy of the state of Chu to disturb the barracks. "


    Xu Sheng said: "thanks to the great governor''s efforts, the situation has been stabilized. Otherwise, the situation will be very difficult to deal with. "


    As for Zhou Yu, Xu Sheng has great admiration for him.


    During the day, it can be said that the situation is imminent, but Zhou Yu easily stabilized the situation.


    Zhou Yu said: "Xu Sheng, if the state of Chu has an action, you must be careful. Grain, meat and vegetables in military barracks must also be carefully inspected. "


    Xu Sheng said: "the end will understand!"


    "Newspaper!"


    A soldier came in, saluted and said: "the governor of Dadu, the head of the families in Nanchang City, asked to see you."Zhou Yu''s mouth twitched slightly.


    Did the aristocratic families of Nanchang City join in?


    "Please," said Zhou Yu


    "Here it is


    The soldier turned and went down to arrange.


    Zhou Yu said, "Xu Sheng, go and help you."


    "Here it is


    Xu Sheng turned and stepped down.


    Zhou Yu sat in the tent, his face more serious.


    The foundation of Nanchang city is the major aristocratic families in Nanchang. If all the aristocratic families are in chaos, it will be difficult to resist the attack from the state of Chu. At that time, Nanchang city itself would be in turmoil without Chu army''s attack.


    After a while, six dignified and well-dressed people entered the camp.


    Among these people, there are old people and middle-aged people.


    Each of them is an important person in the family of Nanchang city.


    "I''ve seen governor Dadu!"


    Six people salute together.


    In front of Zhou Yu, they did not dare to have the slightest arrogance.


    With a smile on his face, Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "everyone, please sit down."


    "Thank you, governor!"


    Thank you, and then the guests and the hosts take their seats.


    Zhou Yu took the initiative to say, "you are coming together today. I don''t know what''s important?"


    The person sitting on the left is an old man.


    His name is he song. He is the owner of the he family in Nanchang city. He is over sixty years old. He stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "governor Du, I came here to ask the king of Wu to surrender to the king of Chu. I don''t know the final result."


    On hearing this, Zhou Yu''s face sank.


    The king of Wu asked the king of Chu to surrender.


    It seems that there is no language fault in this sentence, but in fact it belittles Sun Quan.


    Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "according to the information sent back by Lu Ji, Liu Xiu accepted Zhang Liao and Xun you, but refused to accept the surrender of the state of Wu."


    As for Liu Xiu''s conditions, Zhou Yu selectively did not say.


    It is impossible for Sun Quan to go to Jingzhou.


    He song smile, and said: "I heard that Liu Xiu''s condition is to let the king of Wu into Jingzhou."


    "Dudu, it''s the best choice for me to arrogate."


    "In today''s state of Wu, there is Wei in the north and Chu in the West."


    "The state of Wu is too powerful to resist."


    "The king of Wu asked Liu Xiu to surrender. When he went to Jingzhou, the state of Wu was able to hold his fist. The officials of the state of Wu were preserved. Even the governor of Dadu can be saved. "


    He song sighed and said, "governor, please think twice."


    This is to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender.


    Zhou Yu''s face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of fierce anger.


    Let him surrender to Liu Xiu.


    No way!


    Although Zhou Yu was angry in his heart, his face still didn''t show it. He looked at the others and asked, "do you mean the same as he family leader?"

 Chapter 742

    The crowd heard the speech with a smile on their faces.


    Li Jue, the head of Li''s family in Nanchang County, said: "governor Dadu, we have the same idea as the head of he''s family."


    Li Jue was in her early 40s, when she was in her prime.


    He also has a great reputation among the people.


    As soon as Li Yu opened his mouth, the others echoed Li Jue''s words.


    Zhou Yu looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "the governor will consider your proposal."


    Having said that, in Zhou Yu''s mind, he song and Li Jue were included in the list of those who would be killed.


    In front of him, these people dare to say that Sun Quan will go to Jingzhou.


    Once the war starts, I''m afraid I will open the gate on my own initiative.


    Zhou Yu couldn''t let go of such a person.


    He doesn''t kill he song, Li Jue and others now, because since these six people are here, they must be ready, but he hasn''t made arrangements yet.


    Zhou Yu had to be ready before he could start.


    When he song heard Zhou Yu''s words, his eyes lit up. Since Zhou Yu didn''t refuse, it showed that there was a play.


    He song zhengse way: "most governor is a wise man, in front of us these old guys, perfunctory words are useless. The governor said he would think about it, but how did he think about it? "


    "Most of the governors are in the state of Wu, with unparalleled prestige."


    "As long as the governor of Dadu agrees to submit to the king of Chu, the king of Wu dares not to disagree."


    "Therefore, the key lies in the attitude of the governor."


    "Please give me a clear answer. There''s no need to procrastinate."


    He song seemed to smile, but his old face had an unquestionable look, and said, "what do you think of the governor?"


    Zhou Yu said in a deep voice, "what if the governor refuses?"


    He song held his head high and said, "the governor of Dadu can refuse or even kill six of us. But once we are killed, or we fail to go back, the six aristocratic families in Nanchang will certainly make trouble. "


    "I''m afraid Nanchang city will be in chaos by then."


    "The morale of the governor will also be affected."


    "After this incident, it was difficult for Dadu to resist the army of Chu."


    "Dudu, this is our strength."


    He song looks calm. He shakes his long sleeves and has a faint smile on his face.


    Although the six aristocratic families in Nanchang are still inferior to Zhou Yu, once the six aristocratic families make trouble, it will inevitably affect Zhou Yu''s overall situation, which is where Zhou Yu is threatened.


    Zhou Yu''s face was solemn and his eyes were cold.


    Zhou Yu said, "do you really think the governor''s sword is not good for you?"


    He Song said: "Dadu''s blade is naturally sharp. But Dudu''s sword killed us. I''m afraid it will break. When the time comes, how can Dudu resist the confrontation with Chu? "


    "Most governors are smart people, and it''s most appropriate to know how to do it."


    "Good birds choose trees to live in, and good officials choose their masters."


    "The governor should know what to choose next."


    He song had a bright smile on his face, and his face full of wrinkles stretched out.


    In the final analysis, he thought that Zhou Yu did not dare to be caught dead.


    Zhou Yu stared at he song with sharp eyes. But gradually, he became helpless. Finally, he sighed: "Alas..."


    When he song heard it, he felt right in his heart.


    A sigh, contains too much content.


    Zhou Yu said helplessly, "what good can I get if I invite the king to Jingzhou?"


    He song and others looked at each other with a smile on their faces, and the stones hanging in their hearts fell to the ground.


    When Zhou Yu asked about the benefits, he was willing to submit.


    He song thought about it and said, "Dadu governor is still Dadu governor. His official position is only promoted but not demoted."


    "This is not enough," Zhou said


    He song replied, "what do you want from the governor of Dadu?"


    Zhou Yu said: "the official position will remain unchanged, the military power can not be weakened, and the Marquis must be granted."


    Marquis, this is the title.


    Although Liu Xiu founded his country, he had not yet ascended the throne as emperor, and his officials and generals were not marquis. As soon as Zhou Yu opened his mouth, he song and others thought that Zhou Yu had a big mouth. But just like this, he song and others felt more at ease.


    He Song said, "I will convey the request of the governor. It should not be a big problem to be granted a marquis. "


    "Good!"


    Zhou Yu laughed and said, "please go back and give me a reply as soon as possible."


    "Of course!"


    He song nodded.


    Zhou Yu looked at the crowd and said, "is there anything else?"


    He song shook his head and said, "no!"


    Zhou Yu said: "walk slowly, but don''t send."


    He song and others heard Zhou Yu''s indifferent voice, but they were not angry. They got up to salute Zhou Yu, and then left.


    After Zhou Yu''s surrender, he was still Zhou Yu, even more powerful.After he song and others left, Xu Sheng entered the camp.


    Xu Sheng said, "governor of Dadu, what are the family owners of the major families in Nanchang doing in the barracks?"


    Zhou Yu''s eyes were cold and said, "the purpose of their coming is to force the governor to let the king surrender, and then let the king enter Jingzhou."


    "Damn Nanchang family!"


    Xu Sheng clenched his fist with cold eyes.


    Xu Sheng said: "in this way, the aristocratic families in Nanchang City have been subordinated to the king of Chu."


    Zhou Yu said: "the state of Wu was attacked jointly by the state of Chu and the state of Wei. The state of Wu was in a precarious situation, and Nanchang was even more precarious. Under such circumstances, it''s normal for the major families to have ideas. "


    Xu Sheng asked, "is the governor planning to let the king enter Jingzhou when he releases them?"


    At this moment, Xu Sheng is not sure what Zhou Yu thinks.


    So he began to test.


    He is a subordinate of Zhou Yu. If Zhou Yu intends to surrender, he will not insist. If Zhou Yu wants to fight to the end, he will follow him to the end.


    In a word, what''s Zhou Yu''s decision?


    Zhou Yu stared at Xu Sheng and said, "Xu Sheng, is this governor going to surrender to Liu Xiu?"


    With a smile, Xu Sheng understood Zhou Yu''s intention.


    With a change of heart, Xu Sheng said: "most governors don''t kill the people of the major aristocratic families. On the one hand, they are not ready. On the other hand, the major aristocratic families must be prepared."


    "These aristocratic families are very difficult to deal with."


    "To let them go back now is to let them go back."


    "Governor, what shall we do?"


    Xu Sheng thought about it in his heart, but in the face of the current predicament, he couldn''t think of a solution.


    Wu is weak. This is the general trend.


    This situation can not be reversed at all.


    Zhou Yu said: "as for the major families in Nanchang, since they dare to surrender to Liu Xiu, they must be ready to be killed. You immediately mobilize the soldiers, surround the six aristocratic families who come to Nanchang City, and kill them. "


    "Today''s state of Wu is in need of food and money."


    "The six aristocratic families in Nanchang City want money, money and food. They are just going to have an operation on them."


    "To get rid of them is also conducive to the stability of Nanchang city."


    There was a cold look in Zhou Yu''s eyes.


    How could he be threatened by the Nanchang family.


    Those who threaten him will die!


    After hearing this, Xu Sheng was shocked and said, "governor, the reason why all the great families dare to threaten you is that they are not afraid to attack you. Because we attack, they will be killed and our soldiers will lose. Is it appropriate to attack the great families by force? "


    Xu Sheng also knows the family''s plan.


    It was not good for Wu''s troops stationed in Nanchang to attack by force.


    With a smile in his mouth, Zhou Yu said: "the governor knows the consequences of attacking Nanchang aristocratic family, which will cause turbulence in Nanchang and casualties of soldiers."


    "But that''s part of the plan."


    "As the saying goes, it''s not polite to come but not to go."


    "Tai Shi Ci and Ma Su worked together to calculate the capital, how could the capital not fight back."


    Zhou Yu''s eyes sparkled with wisdom.


    After the six aristocratic families showed their cards, Zhou Yu made clear the intention of the other side and considered the strategy of counterattack.

 Chapter 743

    Xu Sheng''s eyes were full of expectation, and said, "what strategy has the governor made?"


    At the moment, Xu Sheng is very excited.


    He admired Zhou Yu for his strategy and even more for his perseverance.


    When Zhou Yu made a plan, Xu Sheng had only four words in his mind: obey the order.


    Obey Zhou Yu''s orders.


    Listen to Zhou Yu''s arrangement.


    Then, fight and win.


    Zhou Yu said: "in the state of Chu, we should first incite the people to make trouble, and then let the Nanchang aristocratic family not be the governor. There should be plans in the future."


    "Of course, if the governor surrenders to Liu Xiu, he should say otherwise."


    "But the plan of the Chu state must have been to formulate a strategy for the governor not to surrender."


    "The governor concluded that their purpose was..."


    "In that case, we will follow each other''s plan."


    "Next, let''s do this..."


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Zhou Yu talked about the next plan in detail.


    Zhou Yu explained every step clearly.


    While expounding the plan, Zhou Yu was more clear about his plan.


    After hearing this, Xu Sheng said with admiration, "it''s really a part of the plan to kill the six aristocratic families in Nanchang according to the plan of the governor of Dadu."


    "If we kill them, we can not only eliminate Nanchang City, but also carry out the plan."


    "The great governor''s masterful plan will be admired."


    At the moment, Xu Sheng was eager to mobilize the army and take over the six aristocratic families.


    Zhou Yu said: "the army needs to be mobilized, but it is not going to fight now. It''s too obvious to act now. You have three things to do now when it comes to mobilizing soldiers. "


    Xu Sheng Baoquan said: "please give orders from the governor of Dadu."


    Zhou Yu said: "first, find out the position of the six aristocratic families; second, find out the strength of the six aristocratic families; third, lay our people in the important streets leading to the six aristocratic families. When we move in the evening, even if the other party has spies, if the spies want to return the news, they will be stopped by our people. "


    Xu Sheng said: "the governor of Dadu can rest assured that he will arrange it."


    "Well!"


    Zhou Yu waved and Xu Sheng stepped down.


    Zhou Yu sat in the tent with a solemn look on his face.


    Once upon a time, he had a confrontation with Liu Xiu. After he was defeated by Liu Xiu, he could not help but quit the post of governor of Dadu.


    Now, he wants to get it back one by one.


    This war is the beginning.


    Even though Wu''s national strength was weaker and Zhou Yu was in a weak position, Zhou Yu was still not afraid.


    Stand at thirty and be sure at forty.


    Zhou Yu, 40, is more aware of what he wants and more determined in his heart.


    "Newspaper!"


    The voice of the soldier came.


    The curtain of the barracks door rolled up, and the soldiers entered the barracks, clasping their fists and saying, "governor Dadu, here comes Mrs. Qiao."


    "Ah


    Zhou Yu exclaimed in amazement and stood up.


    Zhou Yu''s face was even more surprised.


    What happened to Little Joe?


    Zhou Yu quickly walked out of the camp and stood at the gate of the camp. Then he saw a young woman coming.


    This woman, wearing a long white skirt, has unique charm.


    Her eyes, such as water waves, at a glance, they feel infinite tenderness.


    Her lips, light red, with a touch of enchanting, unlimited amorous feelings.


    This woman is little Joe.


    Today''s Little Joe, over thirty, is the age of Huaxin, the enchanting enchanting, the graceful graceful, graceful, charming, is a beautiful woman.


    Zhou Yu walked forward and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"


    Xiao Qiao said softly, "the king asked me to visit my husband. He is much thinner."


    Zhou Yu nodded and took Xiao Qiao back to the camp.


    Back at the camp, Zhou Yu was overjoyed.


    He worked in Nanchang County and rarely returned to Wu County several times a year. He had few time to meet Xiao Qiao.


    Now, when Xiao Qiao comes to the front line, Zhou Yu can also relieve the pain of Acacia.


    Zhou Yu said, "Xiao Qiao, what''s the situation in Wu County?"


    Xiao Qiao hears the speech and looks at Zhou Yu bitterly.


    The anger in his eyes made Zhou Yu''s bones almost crisp.


    Zhou Yu said with a smile, "it''s wrong for my husband. At this time, I don''t talk about business, I don''t talk about business."


    Xiao Qiao sighed, but she said: "now in Wu County, the storm is constant and the undercurrent is turbulent. Many ministers are said to have proposed surrender. The pressure of the king should be great. Fortunately, Lu Boyan won a battle and relieved some pressure. "


    Now, Xiao Qiao knows it''s unrealistic to talk about Fengyue.


    She has a lot to say to Zhou Yu.


    But looking at Zhou Yu, thousands of thoughts, thousands of words, all swallow back.


    Zhou Yu is concerned about what he said.Zhou Yu nodded slightly, holding Xiao Qiao''s hand, and said: "the king asked you to come to the front line to relieve the pressure for her husband, but also to increase the pressure."


    "What''s the meaning of this?" said Little Joe


    Zhou Yu said, "the king relieved my pressure because he asked you to come."


    "The king asked you to come to show that you believe in being a husband."


    "This is the king does not doubt the minister."


    "This is to relieve the pressure of being a husband."


    "And the king''s trust, if I can''t win a war with Chu, how can I stand the king''s trust?"


    "This is the pressure for husband."


    Zhou Yu''s eyebrows were still full of depression.


    After all, the situation is not good.


    After listening to Xiao Qiao, can ran said with a smile: "husband, please play the piano for me."


    Zhou Yu''s Qin skill is very famous in the state of Wu.


    Xiao Qiao asked Zhou Yu to play the piano to relieve Zhou Yu''s pressure.


    Love in the music!


    Zhou Yu readily agreed and said, "OK, I''ll give my husband a song of" Phoenix seeks her mate. "


    He took the guqin, put it on the desk, adjusted it, and began to play it. Zhou Yu, who plays the piano, looks confident and calm. When he plays happily, he is in high spirits and thoroughly integrates into the music.


    He looked at Little Joe with tenderness in his eyes.


    When Xiao Qiao looks at Zhou Yu, his eyes are full of charm.


    At the end of the song, Xiao Qiao said: "although my husband is in the military camp all day, his piano skill has never fallen."


    Zhou Yu said with a smile, "it''s the Phoenix courtship that hasn''t fallen yet."


    Little Joe was angry.


    Zhou Yu moved his position, then took Xiao Qiao''s waist and told quietly.


    As time went by, it was dark.


    After washing up, Xiao Qiao took a rest in the big account of the Chinese army.


    When she chatted with Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu said that she had to be busy at night, so she couldn''t accompany her for the time being. Although Zhou Yu is still busy, Xiao Qiao''s heart is steadfast, because Zhou Yu is beside her.


    Late at night.


    Zhou Yu sat in the big account of the Chinese army.


    He waited quietly.


    Zhou Yu set the time to act at midnight.


    There''s still some time before the ion.


    As time went by, suddenly, a rush of footsteps came from outside the camp. Xu Sheng strode in and said, "governor of Dadu, all the soldiers have been in place, waiting for the order of governor of Dadu."


    Zhou Yu nodded and ordered: "send out troops!"


    "Here it is


    Xu Sheng was ordered to turn around and go down to inform.


    The order went on, and the six armies quickly left the barracks and went straight to the six aristocratic families in Nanchang.

 Chapter 744

    He family in Nanchang.


    The he family is located in the north of the city, only a hundred feet away from the prefect''s residence, and only a hundred steps away from the county government. It can be said that it is the core position of Nanchang city.


    This night, the lights of he''s house were bright.


    It''s late at night, and the hall of he''s family is still bustling.


    In the hall, the music of the string music is ceaseless.


    One by one dressed in white gauze, enchanting, charming women, are dancing in the hall.


    The owners of all the great families in Nanchang are enjoying the wine.


    Late into the night, each face is more red, drink a bit drunk.


    But they are happy.


    He song hugged a woman, regardless of his age.


    With his left hand groping and his right hand holding the wine bottle, he looked at the crowd and said, "ladies and gentlemen, today we are united to persecute Zhou Yu. It''s really happy. The great governor of the state of Wu was also frightened by us. "


    In the past few years, the he family has been oppressed by Zhou Yu.


    From time to time, the he family would donate food and money for military expenses.


    In the past, he song did not dare to have any dissatisfaction.


    Because once there is discontent, as long as Zhou Yu says something, the he family will be destroyed.


    Now it''s different.


    The state of Wu was attacked by the state of Wei and the state of Chu.


    Even if Zhou Yu had an army, he did not dare to be arrogant. He could only be at the mercy of the Nanchang family.


    Li Jue was holding the wine bottle. He shook his head and said, "master he, it''s all up to you to keep Zhou Yu calm today, so that Zhou Yu doesn''t dare to act rashly. My Nanchang family is finally free. Think about a few years ago, Nanchang aristocratic family was suppressed, that is a miserable word. Now, the general situation of the state of Wu has gone and the mansion is about to collapse. We are finally free. "


    This remark was approved by countless people.


    The owners of the aristocratic families agreed with each other, and they were all very excited.


    In addition to the five families that he song went with during the day, there are other families here.


    If he song wants to be dry, he song needs to be big.


    Therefore, he took Li Jue and others back to his house and called the people of all the great families.


    Everyone was very excited when they got the news.


    At this time, a small family leader in Nanchang said, "Mr. He and Zhou Yu are going to be vassals. Let''s help the state of Chu to coerce Zhou Yu and return to the state of Chu


    Wine over thirty, food over five.


    Now is the time to be in full swing. It''s appropriate to raise the conditions.


    He song stroked his beard with a smile. He pushed aside the woman beside him, got up and went to the hall, saying, "since you are all involved, it''s good for you."


    "Now it is the rise of the king of Chu. The more contributions we have made to the state of Chu, the more benefits we will get."


    "I wrote down your credit."


    "I''ll report it to you then."


    He song is very proud of his leading style.


    Now the he family is a Nanchang family.


    He helped Liu Xiu to force Zhou Yu to surrender. After he got the benefit, the he family in Nanchang should at least become the he family in Yuzhang.


    When people heard the words, there was another puff of praise.


    One by one fawning on Hesong, constantly brush the sense of existence, hoping to get Hesong''s support.


    He song won''t refuse anyone who comes, and constantly attracts more people.


    The more powerful and powerful he is, the more benefits he will have.


    The atmosphere in the hall, fueled by he song, is moving towards a climax.


    "Master, it''s not good!"


    Suddenly, a shrill cry came out.


    The attendant came in in a hurry, and his face looked as if his parents had died. In his eyes, he showed great panic, even more flustered and uneasy.


    As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly stagnated.


    Stop playing!


    Stop the music!


    The singer also stopped dancing!


    It''s like there''s a body immobilization mantra, spreading in the hall.


    Everyone was stunned.


    He song''s face suddenly darkened, and he cursed: "bastard, don''t you see what occasion this is? Get out of here and get yourself twenty lashes. "


    The servant fell down on his knees and said, "master, something really happened."


    In Li Jue''s heart, there was a bad feeling.


    It must not be a good thing to let the servants break in like this.


    Li Jue said, "master he, listen to what he said."


    He song snorted, his eyes were like electricity, and said in a deep voice, "come on, what''s the matter?"


    "There are many officers and soldiers outside. They have surrounded the house. Now they are breaking through," the servant said


    Hiss!!


    A cold breath came out.


    Everyone in the hall looked frightened.


    The officers and men are coming!Why did the officers and soldiers come at this time.


    Li Jue gulped his saliva and said, "how could this be possible? Zhou Yu agreed. How could he suddenly send troops to kill him?"


    He song''s face was also unbelievable.


    He Song said: "the old man has laid an eyeliner outside the camp, Zhou Yu has any movement, and the old man will know immediately. Hum, it can''t be Zhou Yu''s soldier. "


    "Let''s go and have a look."


    He song had a bad feeling in his heart.


    However, he is still calm.


    At this time, even if he was flustered in his heart, he song could not show the slightest bit.


    As he went outside, he had arranged for private soldiers to be mobilized and ready to fight.


    He song had just walked out of the hall when a deafening voice came.


    "Boom!"


    There was a loud noise coming from the gate.


    The door of he''s house is crumbling and constantly shaking.


    "Boom! Boom


    Continuous impact sound, continuous sound.


    When he song saw this scene, he felt cold.


    At this moment, he song was sure that he was Zhou Yu''s soldier. Only Zhou Yu''s soldiers dared to be so rampant.


    He song ordered: "fast, fast, block the gate, block the gate."


    With He Song''s order, all the private soldiers rushed up, and then stood in the gate to prevent the gate from being hit. Once the locked door is knocked open, what can he family do to resist?


    "Whew! Whew


    All of a sudden, the sky outside the mansion brightened up.


    In the night sky in August, a little light blooms in the sky.


    A red light, straight to the he family.


    "Watch out, watch out for the bow and arrow, come on, back into the hall!"


    He song was so scared that he broke his heart and cried out. Then he took people back into the hall.


    Dense rocket fire, aggressive hit the house beams, gateposts and so on.


    This situation exacerbated the turmoil of the he family.


    Li Jue and the heads of the other great families finally looked frightened. They didn''t dare to attack each other, but now they were caught off guard.


    Everyone panicked.


    "Mr. He, what should we do? Now that we are surrounded, what shall we do? "


    "Mr. He, why don''t you surrender?"


    "Mr. He, we can''t stop it. We can''t stop it now."


    All of a sudden, they all hope he song will surrender.


    He song looked at all the aristocratic families around him and said in a deep voice, "everyone, the news of fighting in the city will soon spread. The private soldiers of the major families will soon take action. As long as we hold on, there''s still a chance


    He looked at Li Jue, let Li Jue stabilize people, and then constantly dispatched the private soldiers of he family.


    As a family in Nanchang, he family has thousands of private soldiers.


    One by one, private soldiers rushed out and kept fighting the fire. Then some people climbed up the wall and shot the officers and soldiers outside the government with the intention of delaying their attack.


    But in front of the army, the strength of the he family is not enough.


    "Bang Dang!"


    Suddenly, the door was knocked open.


    The whole gate was directly knocked down, and countless officers and soldiers rushed in.

 Chapter 745

    After a crash, the officers and soldiers cut with their knives.


    Xu Sheng rushed to the front, and he roared: "he family conspires against us, the resisters, there is no amnesty for killing. Those who fall will not be killed! "


    He yelled as he killed.


    The soldiers around us are fighting fiercely.


    Although private soldiers of aristocratic families are also soldiers, their combat effectiveness is far worse.


    Xu Sheng took the soldiers to a sprint, then easily pierced the defense line composed of he''s private soldiers and killed them directly.


    The private soldiers of the aristocratic family were defeated one after another.


    "I surrender, don''t kill me!"


    With a plop, he''s the first private soldier to kneel down and surrender.


    "Don''t kill me, I''m not forced."


    "Don''t kill me, I surrender!"


    "I surrender, too!"


    One by one, the private soldiers of he family were scared to death, and they all knelt down to surrender.


    The situation suddenly turned into a one-sided situation.


    Xu Sheng leads people to fight in, and directly goes to the door of the hall, blocking he song and Li Jue who want to escape.


    During the day in the camp, Xu Sheng saw he song, Li Jue and others.


    At the moment, I was surprised to see these people here.


    I didn''t expect to catch all of them.


    Xu Shengli smiles and goes straight to Hesong. He knows that this old man is the core of everyone.


    To clean up, first clean up Hesong.


    When he song saw Xu Sheng striding forward, he looked serious and held his head high. He said in a loud voice, "officer dog, you are going to take down the he family now, but there are other families in Nanchang city. Once they know that Zhou Yu has used his sword, they will certainly resist. "


    Xu Sheng stands in front of He Song and stares at him like this,


    with fierce eyes, he song gets excited.


    All of a sudden, Xu Sheng said, "he song, you are nothing. How dare you threaten the governor."


    "To die!"


    Try to hiss roar, say from the mouth of Xu Sheng.


    As soon as Xu Sheng raised his foot, he directly kicked it out.


    "Pa!"


    One foot kicks on He Song''s belly, one foot goes down, he song screams and falls to the ground.


    He song bows his back and has a severe pain in his abdomen.


    An old face, full of pain and ferocious expression.


    Standing in front of he song, Xu Sheng kicked his feet and said, "what kind of person is Du Du? Can an old man like you threaten him? Damn it, you''re old enough to live on a dog. "


    "Pa! Bang


    Continuous kick, kick in he song.


    A few feet down, he song howled, but also pain a smoke.


    Li Jue looked at him with a dignified expression and said, "General Xu Sheng, please show mercy."


    Xu Sheng looked up and said, "who are you?"


    Li Jue said, "I''m Li Jue of Li family in Nanchang."


    "Li Jue, right?"


    Xu Sheng looked at Li Jue and asked again.


    "Yes," Li Jue said


    Xu Sheng sneered and slapped his hand.


    A loud slap reverberated in the hall. Under the powerful force, Li Jue fell to the ground, vomited blood in her mouth, and her face became red and swollen.


    Xu Sheng went up and kicked out again, which made Li Jue scream.


    This scene frightened all the families of Nanchang.


    One by one, they looked at Xu Sheng, as if they were looking at the killing God, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.


    At this time, Xu Sheng looked at he song and said, "he song, old dog, during the day, it''s not convenient for most supervisors to clean you up, which makes you arrogant."


    "Tonight, the six great families of Nanchang will be removed!"


    "The governor of Dadu dispatched troops to attack the six aristocratic families at the same time."


    "This will attack the he family. The rest will attack the other five. None of them will fall behind."


    "Do you think the he family in Nanchang is great?"


    "Do you think the six aristocratic families in Nanchang can be unscrupulous?"


    "How naive


    Xu Sheng sneered: "now, do you have anything else to say?"


    He song was stunned and stopped wailing.


    He looked at Xu Sheng with a look of panic in his turbid eyes.


    Zhou Shiyu started at the same time?


    How is that possible?


    He song was terrified, and Li Jue and his family members were all terrified. They looked shocked one by one. They also thought that Zhou Yu was dealing with the he family, but unexpectedly they were dealing with the six aristocratic families in Nanchang at the same time.


    Li Jue and the rest of the four aristocratic families were heartbroken.


    The families without them could not resist the fierce fighting of officers and soldiers.


    He song looked at Xu Sheng and said, "I have arranged spies. How can no one report the news?"


    If he song had arranged in advance, he would not have been so embarrassed.


    With a look of disdain, Xu Sheng said, "your little skill of carving insects is really not worth mentioning in front of the governor. During the day, the governor arranged people to control the streets leading to the major families. ""There are so many people during the day that we can''t find your spies."


    "But at night, there was no one on the street."


    "As soon as the army came out of the barracks, your people rushed to their respective mansions to report, but they were all robbed and killed."


    Xu Sheng said: "the governor of Dadu has even made more preparations. If your people shoot the arrow, the governor of Dadu will send someone to shoot the arrow. It''s a pity that your people didn''t even do that. It''s really bad. "


    After hearing this, he song sighed: "I''m not wronged. Zhou Yu was able to bend and stretch, worthy of being the governor of the state of Wu. If you want to kill or cut, do as you please. "


    He was in pain all over, but at this moment, his heart was dead.


    Xu Sheng said, "I will not kill you. The governor will deal with you."


    With a wave of Xu Sheng''s hand, the soldiers immediately put all the people present in custody, and then ordered the soldiers to take care of their homes.


    All the people of the he family are taken away, and the he family is sealed up.


    Xu Sheng left some soldiers to guard and escorted he song, Li Jue and others to return overnight. On his way back, Xu Sheng met the leaders of the other five families.


    Each one looked at Xu Sheng with jealousy in his eyes.


    Because when they attacked the five aristocratic families, they all found out the situation and knew that the owners of the five aristocratic families were in the he family.


    This time, Xu Sheng took everyone in one pot.


    The army returned to the camp.


    Xu Sheng and others went to the Chinese army tent and saluted Zhou Yu with their fists.


    Zhou Yu said, "how is the war going?"


    Xu Sheng stood up and said: "when the governor of Dadu attacked the he family, he song held a banquet to celebrate. The heads of the six families in Nanchang and other families were all here. All of you, you''re going to end up in one pot. "


    "Good!"


    When Zhou Yu heard the news, he couldn''t help praising him.


    "Bring everyone in!"


    Zhou Yu gave a command, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.


    "Here it is


    When Xu Sheng got the order, he went down to make arrangements.


    After a while, he song, Li Jue and other Nanchang aristocratic family owners were all brought in.


    He song fell down on his knees and begged for mercy: "governor Dadu, I''m wrong. Please forgive me."


    Li Jue also knelt down and said, "please forgive me."


    The rest of them all knelt down and begged for mercy.


    Everyone''s eyes were frightened, and they were afraid of Zhou Yu.


    When they attended the banquet in the evening, they learned that Zhou Yu was soft, and they all called Zhou Yu a soft egg. But Zhou Yu immediately sent out a strong force, and now everyone was afraid.


    Zhou Yu looked at the faces of all living beings with a sneer in his heart.


    It''s too late to ask for mercy now!

 Chapter 746

    Zhou Yu stood up and looked at he song, Li Jue and others with calm eyes.


    The calmer his expression was, the more confused the crowd was.


    Zhou Yu''s eyes fell on he song. Seeing that he song was bruised and bruised, he looked at Xu Sheng and said, "Xu Sheng, did you beat him?"


    "Yes


    Xu Sheng answered directly.


    The corner of Zhou Yu''s mouth suddenly pulled up a radian and said faintly, "how can you fight so lightly?"


    The tone is calm, but it thunders in silence.


    He song was so frightened that his liver and gall trembled. He knelt down on the ground and bent his back more and more: "Dadu governor, I beg Dadu governor to forgive me for my mistake. The little old man is willing to give up his wealth and support the governor. "


    At this moment, he song''s self-identity has changed.


    The conditions of Hesong also changed.


    He is willing to give up his fortune.


    He song is aware of Zhou Yu''s intention to kill.


    Zhou Yu is fierce and overbearing. If he doesn''t surrender, he will be doomed.


    Zhou Yu said, "Hesong, if the governor failed to take over the Hesong family, would you have such an attitude?"


    "No, you don''t."


    "You will be as arrogant and arrogant as you are in the daytime."


    "Unfortunately, you failed."


    At this time, Zhou Yu''s tone was extremely calm.


    He had a calm look, and his face didn''t fluctuate at all.


    But just like this, it''s more like a storm.


    Zhou Yu continued: "today, the governor controls the six aristocratic families in Nanchang. Think about it. How much money and food do the six aristocratic families in Nanchang have to have? Why should the governor return it to you? "


    "As well as the other family owners, they are also involved."


    "Now Nanchang is in a precarious situation, and it needs a baptism of iron and blood."


    "Only in this way can Nanchang be stable."


    Zhou Yu''s smile is like a flower blooming with endless brilliance.


    Zhou Yu''s words made people cold.


    Looking at Zhou Yu one by one, they all had fear and anger, even more panic and despair.


    He song roared, "Zhou Yu, you have to die."


    At this moment, he song understood Zhou Yu''s idea. He was completely angry and desperate. He hated that he didn''t press Zhou Yu further during the day, which led to Zhou Yu''s leisurely layout.


    Li Jue also scolded: "Zhou Yu, you have to die well. We''re dead, and you''re not going to feel better. "


    All the masters of the aristocratic families scolded.


    All the people were screaming in despair.


    These people understand Zhou Yu''s purpose and know that Zhou Yu wants to kill people.


    Xu Sheng looked in his eyes and said angrily, "shut up!"


    He went straight up and kicked he song. With one foot down, he song was kicked out of breath and fainted.


    In an instant, the camp was quiet.


    No one dares to speak again.


    No one dares to speak again.


    Zhou Yu looked at Xu Sheng with admiration and said lightly, "the state of Chu and the state of Wei jointly attack the state of Wu. If the state of Wu is defeated, the governor will indeed die."


    "But who knows?"


    "Up to now, the battle has not been decided."


    "Your death, in particular, will lay down the next plan for the governor. You will not die in vain, because the victory of this battle will be attributed to you. "


    "Drag it out, kill it all."


    As soon as Zhou Yu brushed his sleeves, he gave the order directly.


    Such an order made the heads of all the great families feel dead.


    Zhou Yu didn''t blink and was dragged out. In normal times, Zhou Yu could not kill the people of Nanchang aristocratic family, because if he killed them, it would shake the foundation of Nanchang and affect the stability of Nanchang.


    This is what Zhou Yu does not want to see.


    But now, Zhou Yu doesn''t care.


    Kill, kill!


    In any case, his next plan has been arranged, and the killing of the people of various families is also in his plan.


    All the people were dragged out, and soon there was a scream.


    All the heads of the great families were killed.


    Zhou Yu looked at Xu Sheng and asked, "have you ever counted the grain and money of the great families?"


    Xu Sheng shook his head and said, "it''s not yet time!"


    Zhou Yu said, "seize the time and check out all the food and money of the major families this evening. Tomorrow morning, put all the grain and money in the warehouse. "


    "Here it is


    Xu Sheng nodded.


    Immediately, Xu Sheng left with the crowd.


    Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief and then went back to the camp to rest.


    In the tent, Xiao Qiao saw that Zhou Yu was coming and said with a smile: "husband, are you finished?"


    Zhou Yu said with a smile, "everything has been dealt with properly."


    Xiao Qiao undressed Zhou Yu and they lay on the couch, embracing each other and sleeping.This night, there was no storm.


    Yes, just hugging each other, light voice of conversation, and then gradually go to sleep.


    The next morning.


    Xiao Qiao waited on Zhou Yu to get up and wash.


    After washing and eating breakfast, Zhou Yu went to the Chinese army to deal with government affairs.


    As soon as he arrived, Xu Sheng came with red eyes.


    This night, Xu Sheng did not rest.


    Holding a stack of bound books in his hand, Xu Sheng said, "governor of Dadu, this is the detailed bill sorted out overnight. It is the summary of all the six aristocratic families."


    "At the end of the war, the soldiers have been mobilized and all the grain and money have been put into storage."


    "As for the rest of the great families, they will be eradicated."


    "Today''s Nanchang City has no family."


    Xu Sheng has a proud look in his eyes.


    He left last night with his army, pulled out the major families in Nanchang, and then counted all the supplies overnight.


    This is a lot of work.


    However, Xu Sheng ordered people to deal with it overnight.


    Zhou Yu had a rough look, and noticed that the total amount of grain was as many as one million stone, which was also a pick of eyebrows. But immediately, his face showed a look of joy.


    House hunting is the most direct way to grab benefits.


    In a short period of time, we have made so much profit.


    As for money and land leases, there are too many.


    Zhou Yu put away the account book and praised, "you''ve done a good job. According to the original plan, you arrange the soldiers and wait for the commander''s order


    "Here it is


    When Xu Sheng got the order, he turned and stepped down.


    Zhou Yu also began to deal with everyday things.


    During the day, after the Nanchang aristocratic family was destroyed.


    All of a sudden, there was a fierce public opinion that the state of Wu could not resist the attack of Chu and Wei.


    The news is getting more and more intense, and the people are becoming more and more agitated.


    The people of Nanchang are in turmoil.


    After the news spread, there was another undercurrent. Countless people accused Sun Quan of not being sincere enough, saying that since Sun Quan asked to surrender, he should surrender in Jingzhou.


    There was a steady stream of news.


    Nanchang, as a whole, is in unprecedented turmoil.


    The people are in turmoil!


    People are talking about it.


    The news is getting more and more intense, and the news that Nanchang city is about to be attacked comes out.


    The news spread, many people began to leave Nanchang City, to escape from the land of right and wrong.


    In the barracks!


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    Xu Sheng told the news to Zhou Yu, who was not angry but happy.


    When it came to this stage, he contributed to it, but every plan was arranged by the state of Chu.


    The other side''s purpose of disturbing people''s minds has been achieved.


    Zhou Yu looked at Xu Sheng and ordered: "summon the troops to withdraw from Nanchang city."


    "Here it is


    Xu Sheng was ordered.


    Instead of withdrawing from Nanchang, he was excited.


    Because the plan really started.

 Chapter 747

    Nanchang city is Zhou Yu''s hometown.


    Since Liu Xiu''s rise, Zhou Yu has been stationed in Nanchang and engaged in war with Chu.


    There are more than 50000 elite troops of the state of Wu stationed in Nanchang.


    The withdrawal of the army from Nanchang County was very shocking, and the news soon spread to Jiancheng county.


    As soon as Ma Su got the news, he rushed to the big account of the Chinese army.


    Entering the barracks, Ma Su said, "general, the plan is done."


    At this time, Ma Su was very excited.


    Tai Shici was also very excited and said, "has Zhou Yu withdrawn from Nanchang?"


    Ma Su said: "withdraw!"


    Tai Shici clenched his fist and said, "it''s not easy for Zhou Yu to withdraw. How did Nanchang evolve? "


    Ma Su''s eyes twinkled, and he replied: "first, the people of Nanchang City made trouble, then the major families of Nanchang forced Zhou Yu, and then there were rumors all over the sky."


    "It''s hard for Zhou Yu to make every move."


    "Unwilling to be coerced, Zhou Yu killed the aristocratic family in Nanchang city at one go."


    "Nanchang turned into a place of right and wrong, and Zhou Yu couldn''t stay any longer?"


    "Today''s Nanchang city is completely abandoned."


    Ma Su''s series of plans aimed at disrupting Nanchang City and leaving Zhou Yu no place to stand.


    Now, Ma Su has achieved his goal.


    After hearing this, Tai Shici nodded slightly and then said, "Zhou Yu''s withdrawal is not a real withdrawal. Now the state of Chu and the state of Wei are united, and the state of Wu is in danger. Once Zhou Yu retreats, the state of Wu is in danger of collapse. He can''t and dare not withdraw. "


    Ma Su said excitedly, "of course, Zhou Yu is pretending to retreat. He''s planning."


    "Zhou Yu made a false retreat, but the real goal was us."


    "It can be judged that Zhou Yu''s next step is to choose a long-distance attack, then attack our camp and beat our fourth army again."


    "Unfortunately, Zhou Yu is doomed to failure."


    Ma Su looked at Tai Shici and said, "general, the soldiers we ambushed before are going to work."


    "Of course."


    Tess smiles.


    The plan made by Ma Su is one by one, which has already been properly arranged.


    On the way out of Nanchang City, Ma Su laid an ambush, waiting for Zhou Yu''s army to take the bait.


    However, ambush is just an appetizer.


    Even the victory or defeat of the ambush was beyond the scope of Ma Su and Tai Shici''s attention.


    The real battlefield is Jiancheng county.


    ¡­¡­


    Outside Nanchang, 40 miles northwest.


    This road belongs to Lujiang County.


    Xu Sheng retreated with his soldiers, and the army went straight to Lujiang County.


    Xu Sheng led many soldiers at the beginning.


    But after leaving the city, at night, the army quietly disappeared most of the time.


    Zhou Yu''s army had already gone to Jiancheng county to kill.


    Regardless of Zhou Yu''s direction, Xu Sheng''s task was to act and accompany Chu army to a banquet. The Chu army knew that he was retreating, and he also knew that the Chu army was laying an ambush.


    Both sides are acting.


    It''s just that both sides have to fight.


    Xu Sheng retreated with his soldiers. After walking across the broad road, there was a reed in front of him.


    On both sides of the official road are reeds.


    The boundless reed is vast.


    This is a good place to ambush.


    Xu Sheng looked at it and became alert.


    Even if he knew that he and his opponent were acting in ambush, he would defeat them.


    The army went on.


    Soon after, suddenly, Chu''s ambush came out from both sides of the reed.


    Xu Sheng led the troops to resist, and the two sides fought each other.


    At the beginning, the soldiers under Xu Sheng''s command were caught off guard and retreated. Xu Sheng was killed by the Chu army. He retreated along the way to a forest.


    The Chu army came after him, but in the woods, another group of Wu soldiers were killed.


    This group of Wu soldiers joined in, and the soldiers under Xu Sheng''s command strengthened and began to attack again.


    The Chu army was attacked and retreated.


    When the Chu army retreated to the reeds, in the reeds, there were Chu soldiers killed.


    Xu Sheng was shocked by the second wave of Chu soldiers.


    He knew there were ambushes, but he never expected that the other side had two ambushes.


    For a time, Xu Sheng was completely defeated.


    Xu Sheng led nearly 20000 soldiers of the state of Wu. After fighting with the Chu army, there were only more than 3000 left.


    In this war, Xu Sheng suffered a disastrous defeat.


    However, this is also in Zhou Yu''s expectation, which is the worst case.


    Xu Shengbai stepped back and ran straight to the Lujiang River.


    The Chu army pursued and killed for a while, but did not pursue and kill again.


    On the other hand, Zhou Yu led the soldiers to go to Jiancheng County in daytime and night.In just two days, Zhou Yu led his army to Jiancheng county.


    When the army arrived outside the camp of Chu army, Zhou Yu directly launched an attack without saying a word. At the beginning of the battle, Zhou Yu still had the advantage, but the Chu army in Jiancheng county was hard to resist.


    But in the middle of the battle, two forces suddenly cut into Zhou Yu''s rear army.


    These two forces killed, Zhou Yu''s army suddenly turbulence, in danger.


    In the face of danger, Zhou Yu attacked with all his strength.


    This situation fell into the eyes of Ma Su and Tai Shici.


    Ma Su looked calm and more excited. He said, "general, our army has cut off Zhou Yu''s back road. Today, Zhou Yu''s back road has been cut off and he has been attacked by the two armies. There is no doubt that he will be defeated. "


    Taishici said: "the military division won Zhou Yu in this battle, which can be said to be the first World War."


    Ma Su laughed.


    "Newspaper!"


    A soldier ran quickly and said, "general, the army has blocked Zhou Yu in Baitou mountain."


    Baitou mountain is a high mountain in the southeast of Jiancheng county.


    From Baitou mountain to Jiancheng County, it is 20 Li.


    Zhou Yu led his troops to fight with Chu army. After being attacked, he fought and retreated to Baitoushan.


    Ma Su stood up and said, "general, let''s go to Baitoushan."


    Tai Shici agreed to go with Ma su.


    They had been in the Chinese army and had been commanding at the front. Now it didn''t take long to go to Baitou mountain, and soon came to the foot of Baitou mountain.


    On the Baitou mountain.


    Zhou Yu and his generals were hiding on the mountain.


    There are more than 30000 elites under Zhou Yu''s command, and there are still more than 10000 left.


    Soldiers were distributed on the mountain to resist the attack of Chu army.


    Zhou Yu was dressed in a white robe and a suit of armor. Although he looked tired, his eyes were very bright. He stares at the foot of the mountain, looking at more and more Chu soldiers, his eyes are more and more bright.


    "Here, at last!"


    Zhou Yu murmured to himself.


    On the basis of Ma Su''s stratagem, he used himself as a bait to deceive Tai Shici and Ma Su''s Fourth Army.


    "Where is Zhou Yu? You are surrounded. Surrender quickly. "


    Suddenly, under the hillside, came the voice of soldiers shouting.


    "I''m Ma Su and Zhou Yu, the Fourth Army division. If you surrender, I''ll protect you from death."


    The soldiers continued to shout.


    Ma Su stood at the foot of the mountain and kept shouting.


    Hearing this, Zhou Yu''s face was cold and sharp.


    Ma Su?


    A suckling child, really self righteous.


    As soon as Zhou Yu made a move, some soldiers came. Zhou Yu told the soldiers to prepare to shout. Then Zhou Yu said, "I don''t know who ma Su is. Where''s Tess? Let''s get taishici up the mountain. "


    According to Zhou Yu''s words, the soldier cried out.


    Ma Su''s face was cold after listening.


    But he did not speak again, but looked at Tai Shici.


    Taishici was the commander of the army. He should have called, but the man opposite was Zhou Yu. Taishici didn''t want to face him, so he asked Ma Su to come. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu called his name.


    Taishici said, "military adviser, I''m going up the mountain."


    When Ma Su heard this, he was shocked and said, "no, general. After you go up the mountain, what will you do if you are held by Zhou Yu? You are the chief General of the army. "


    As a general of the first army, Ma Su strongly disagreed with taishici''s mountaineering.


    Tai Shici said: "don''t worry, military adviser. I will lead a team of personal guards to go. Even if Zhou Yu wants to do it, I can go down the mountain calmly. Moreover, if Zhou Yu could be persuaded to surrender, it would be a great achievement. Moreover, I also believe Zhou Yu, he will not kill me. "


    As a former Minister of Jiangdong, Taishi Ci and Zhou Yu also had a certain origin.


    Now, Tai Shici is going to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender.

 Chapter 748

    After hearing what Tai Shici said, Ma Su still disagreed: "general, please think twice."


    The chief General of the first army affects the safety of the first army.


    If Tai Shici is coerced by Zhou Yu, what should he do?


    What if Tai Shici was killed by Zhou Yu?


    Everything is a problem.


    And it comes from these problems.


    "I have to go there, commander," he said. Since Zhou Yu yelled, how can I be afraid of him. And I''m sure I''ll be able to return safely. "


    "Alas..."


    Ma Su couldn''t help sighing.


    Ma Su stared at Tai Shici and said in a deep voice, "general, if you are coerced, I will order you to attack the mountain."


    "Yes


    Tess answered directly.


    As for the possibility of being detained or Zhou Yu''s killing him, Tai Shici didn''t think about it.


    Tess is confident that he can go down the mountain safely.


    Immediately, taishici mobilized a team of bodyguards and went up the mountain.


    There were only 18 bodyguards around him.


    The eighteen bodyguards are all excellent in martial arts, and they are valiant warriors.


    Taishici climbed the mountain step by step and soon came to the hillside. The soldiers of the state of Wu stationed in the middle of the mountain glared at him one by one.


    Tess looked in his eyes, but was not affected.


    He went on climbing and soon came to the mountain and met Zhou Yu.


    Tai Shici saluted and said, "governor Dadu!"


    Zhou Yu said with a sneer, "is this governor still your governor?"


    "It''s always been, never changed," he said


    "What a joke."


    Zhou Yu sneers. He stares at Tai Shici with a sneer on his face. It''s a big joke that a man who betrayed the state of Wu even recognized him as the governor of the capital.


    Taishici said: "Dudu, there are Chu troops at the foot of the mountain. You are surrounded. In this battle, you are defeated. The state of Wu was also defeated completely. Surrender. You are still the governor of Dadu. The king of Chu will not treat you badly. "


    Zhou Yu said with disdain, "I didn''t expect that Prince shiziyi was so smart."


    Taishici said, "the governor of Dadu is serious."


    Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "sit down!"


    "Thank you, governor!"


    In front of Zhou Yu, Tai Shici did not put on airs.


    Zhou Yu fought with sun CE, and sun CE accepted taishici. Tai Shici still had great respect for Zhou Yu.


    Tai Shici sat down and said, "don''t you think about yourself and the soldiers around you?"


    Zhou Yu said: "the governor will consider for them."


    After a pause, Zhou Yu answered and said in a deep voice, "Tai Shici, do you know what the governor thinks now?"


    Tai Shici said, "do you want to kill me?"


    Zhou Yu said, "yes, the governor really wants to kill you."


    "You are from the state of Wu, but you turn to Chu and become the enemy of the state of Wu."


    "The governor would like to have you skinned and cramped."


    "However, the governor will not kill you. You can rest assured of that."


    Zhou Yu''s eyes were fixed on Tai Shici. His eyes were bright and he asked, "do you know why I didn''t kill you?"


    Tai Shici said, "why?"


    Zhou Yu laughed and confidently said, "I will keep your life and let you witness the failure of Chu army. Is that enough? "


    Tai Shici said, "governor, can you turn the tables now?"


    At this time, Tai Shici''s face was calm.


    Just in the heart, suddenly rise bad premonition.


    He never underestimated Zhou Yu. As a person who followed sun CE and Sun Quan, he understood Zhou Yu''s ability. During the period of sun CE and Sun Quan, Zhou Yu won many battles and was the invincible God of war of Jiangdong military.


    Liu Xiu''s birth broke Zhou Yu''s myth of invincibility.


    Now, in his presence, Zhou Yu told him to watch the failure of the Chu army, and Tai Shici began to doubt it.


    Zhou Yu noticed that Tai Shici''s face changed slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "are you afraid? Are you worried? So, what''s the feeling? "


    At this time, Zhou Yu was very excited.


    He just wanted to see that Tess was worried.


    Taishici said: "governor, the situation of this war has been deduced by me and the military division for many times. I don''t know, where do you have a back hand? "


    Zhou Yu said, "you can''t imagine that this governor may not be able to do it."


    Tai Shici said, "please give me your advice."


    Zhou Yu chuckled, his eyes overlooking Jiancheng county.


    All of a sudden, the thick smoke rose to the sky.


    The boundless red light rises in Jiancheng county.


    Zhou Yu looked at Tai Shici and said, "Tai Shici, do you see the direction of Jiancheng county? That''s your base camp. It''s where the troops are. Now it''s on fire. "In his words, Zhou Yu is extremely confident.


    Zhou Yu continued: "now, your back road has been cut off. And the commander''s army is coming. How do you face the army of your own governor? "


    Tai Shici heard the speech and swallowed his saliva.


    Camp burned?


    It''s impossible.


    There are also troops in the camp, which can''t be easily attacked.


    Especially when Zhou Yu led his troops to Jiancheng County, the sentinel sent by taishici also kept an eye on him and confirmed that Zhou Yu did not divide his troops.


    Zhou Yu said: "the ambush of this governor comes from Nanchang County."


    Boom!!


    All of a sudden, his mind seemed to be blazing with thunder.


    In a moment, Tess recovered.


    At this moment, his brain became clear.


    Taishici stared at Zhou Yu and said in horror: "you withdraw from Nanchang County on the surface, but in fact, you quietly arrange an army to hide in Nanchang County. You have seen through our plan, and deliberately hit the bait, making us think that you have completely given up Nanchang County. In fact, you follow our plan and let the army of Nanchang County give us a fatal blow at the critical moment. "


    Zhou Yu said with a smile, "yes, that''s it. The soldiers of Nanchang County, it is this governor who gives you a fatal blow. "


    "Well, it''s time to say it. The governor has already said it."


    "The decisive battle is about to begin."


    "Governor Ben would like to see you run away in despair."


    "It''s really exciting."


    Zhou Yu said softly, "it''s a pity that the king is not here. If the king is here, he can watch you run away in embarrassment."


    Taishici took a deep breath, suppressed the confusion in his heart, and got up and went down the mountain.


    After going down the mountain.


    Tai Shici came to Ma Su and said, "military strategist, our base camp has been burned. Our back road was also won by Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu also had an ambush, which was hidden in Nanchang County. "


    Ma Su also noticed the heavy smoke in the direction of Jiancheng county.


    At this moment, hearing Tai Shici''s words, Ma Su stepped back two steps, looking shocked.


    What to do?


    Ma Su didn''t expect that he was ambushed at the moment.


    "Da! "Da!"


    On the official road, all of a sudden, a cavalry came quickly.


    In a twinkling, the cavalry had reached Tai Shici and Ma su.


    The cavalry turned over and dismounted, and said: "general Taishi, commander Ma, is Liu Xiao. He is the captain of General Huang in Feihu camp. On the order of General Huang, he told them that the Fourth Army camp in Jiancheng county had been attacked. At the same time, there was a wave of Wu troops fighting against Baitoushan. General Huang asked the two soldiers to delay their fight and wait for the arrival of the flying tiger camp to annihilate the Wu army. "


    Ma Su heard the news and laughed: "ha ha ha..."


    Laughter, there is a desperate joy, but also endless loss.


    He had to rely on the cavalry of the flying tiger camp to finish his plan.


    When Tai Shici heard the speech, he didn''t know whether to cry or laugh.


    He was defeated by Zhou Yu. In a flash, reinforcements came again.


    Taishici said: "Ben will know, Ben will fight to the end, waiting for General Huang''s reinforcements."


    Liu Xiao said: "goodbye!"


    He got on his horse again and galloped away.

 Chapter 749

    Taishici looked at Ma Su and said, "commander, you and the soldiers should step back and hide. This battle is up to me. "


    Ma Su said, "be careful, general."


    In today''s situation, when Wu soldiers are killed in the rear, they can''t escape or withdraw.


    Only fight to the death!


    Death battle waiting for Huang Hu''s arrival.


    Once the soldiers of flying tiger battalion join the battlefield, the situation will be completely reversed.


    "Woo! Woo


    Suddenly, the melodious horn sounded from the mountain.


    The sound of the trumpet gradually became powerful, and it was even more exciting.


    "Kill


    On the hillside, the soldiers of the state of Wu suddenly called out.


    The cry of killing rocked the sky and reverberated around.


    In a flash, the soldiers of the state of Wu, who were ready to resist on the mountain, went to the battlefield and began to fight with the soldiers of the state of Chu.


    When the two armies met, taishici immediately organized soldiers to resist.


    Taishici ordered: "round array, meet the enemy!"


    The round array is a circle formed by the soldiers under its command. The soldiers outside are holding spears to resist the invading enemy.


    This formation is a special defensive formation.


    All the soldiers began to defend against waves of attack.


    Zhou Yu stood on the mountain and sneered at the defensive taishici at the foot of the mountain.


    Tess''s in again.


    He called Tai Shici to the mountain, one is to hit Tai Shici deliberately, the other is to let Tai Shici take defensive posture.


    At the moment, when Zhou Yu launched an attack, his soldiers did not have an advantage.


    After all, reinforcements haven''t arrived yet. It''s going to be a while.


    If taishici attacks boldly and suppresses Zhou Yu''s soldiers before reinforcements arrive, he may have a chance to turn the tables.


    After all, the elite of the state of Chu is known all over the world.


    Now that Tsz is defending, it''s just sitting around waiting to die.


    Zhou Yu waited quietly, and the fighting continued.


    More and more soldiers were killed on both sides, but the soldiers of Wu state were brave enough to fight. All the influence of fleeing before disappeared. On the contrary, the Vietnam War became fiercer and fiercer.


    In his eyes, Zhou Yu was very excited.


    Time goes by little.


    In the distance of the official road, a group of soldiers came to kill.


    This group of soldiers are the soldiers of Wu state.


    Zhou Feng was the leader of the army, and he was a valiant general under Zhou Yu. Zhou Feng quickly led the soldiers to kill him. When he was less than 100 feet away from the battlefield, he raised his gun and roared, "kill me, boys!"


    "Defeat the Chu army and kill them!"


    Zhou Feng roared, excited.


    The soldiers under his command were also extremely excited. They had just taken out the Fourth Army camp.


    Now, if you kill him, you will be able to destroy him.


    The horses are galloping, the soldiers are running.


    In the blink of an eye, Zhou Feng had been killed on the battlefield, and the soldiers of the state of Wu also came.


    Taishici saw that all the soldiers of Wu state had appeared, and there was a frenzy in his eyes. He sat down in the army and ordered: "sons and daughters, the ambush of Wu army has been exhausted, kill!"


    The word "kill" is full of murderous spirit.


    When the order was given, the flag was waved and the counter offensive order immediately spread.


    Tai Shici has been in the Fourth Army for several years.


    Although taishici did not go north with Liu Xiu to fight against Cao Cao, did not go west with Liu Xiu to fight in Yizhou, and did not go south with Liu Xiu to fight in Jiaozhou.


    However, the Fourth Army under Tai Shici was not incompetent.


    Every soldier is brave and fearless of death.


    These soldiers, even more forbidden, obey the orders of Tai Shici.


    Taishici ordered to go down, and all the defending soldiers began to counterattack.


    "Kill!!


    "Kill


    The soldiers of the fourth army fought back bravely.


    This counterattack is extremely fierce.


    The soldiers of Chu army and Wu army fought together, and the two sides fought fiercely.


    On the battlefield, the number of Wu troops is obviously more, while the Fourth Army is the weak side when it is attacked by the front and back.


    The Chu army fought back madly, but it was no match, and the situation was anxious.


    Zhou Yu looked down the mountain and saw the situation at the foot of the mountain. He gave a cold smile: "Tai Shici, you really worked for Liu Xiu. At this time, we will fight to the end. Unfortunately, it''s all in vain. "


    Zhou Yu is not in a hurry at this time.


    From Qichun county to Jiancheng County, we can''t arrive in a day or two.


    If Liu Xiu wants to help, he will not be thirsty.


    By the time Liu Xiu arrived, he had already wiped out the Fourth Army of the state of Chu, and then left.


    This war will surely end with the defeat of Tarshis.


    Zhou Yu waited quietly.


    At the foot of the mountain, Tai Shici had already been bathed in blood, but he was still fighting.


    The confrontation between the two sides became more and more fierce.An hour passed.


    On the battlefield, corpses were everywhere, blood flowed, and countless soldiers fell.


    Among these bodies, there are the bodies of Chu soldiers and Wu soldiers.


    But as time went on, his soldiers began to give up. After all, the troops under his command were a little poor, and they were attacked by the two armies. After all, they were somewhat defeated.


    The soldiers of the state of Wu, head and tail, have begun to close.


    Chu soldiers, completely surrounded.


    Taishici held his head high, held a big gun in his hand, and roared: "Fourth Army, kill!"


    He had no idea how many people he had killed.


    The hands have begun to numb, but still insist.


    As soon as taishici was killed, the soldiers of the fourth army were killed again.


    "Fourth Army, kill!"


    "Fourth Army, kill!"


    The cry of Tess kept ringing.


    He took the lead, and the Fourth Army soldiers under his command were constantly fighting.


    The chief general is the heart of the army.


    The general is here, the army is there.


    The Lord will die, the army will die.


    Taishici is still there, so the Chu army is still there.


    When Zhou Yu saw Tai Shici''s fighting on the mountain, his face became more dignified. He thought that he was at a low point. He didn''t expect that he had such toughness. But when he thought that he worked for Liu Xiu bravely, Zhou Yu was furious.


    Time goes by little.


    There were less than a thousand soldiers left by his side.


    With more than 1000 soldiers, their role in the battlefield is becoming weaker and weaker.


    In particular, more than 1000 soldiers are already exhausted.


    By now, the soldiers are exhausted.


    The sun has already begun to move to the west, and the sky is full of red light, showing endless blood red.


    At the moment, Tsz was a little anxious.


    Why haven''t you come yet?


    With the soldiers to resist, he was nervous.


    If we wait for a while before the reinforcements arrive, he will die bravely.


    Boom


    Suddenly, a deafening voice came from behind the official road.


    The voice grew louder and louder.


    The sound is more and more shocking.


    One after another, the sound of knocking on the ground, as if the ground were shaking up.


    It''s late, it''s fast.


    On the official road, a cavalry soon appeared.


    "The yellow tiger of Chu is here. Who dares to fight?"


    Huang Hu galloped with his horse. He kept rushing forward with a golden hammer in his hand.


    "The yellow tiger of Chu is here. Who dares to fight?"


    "The yellow tiger of Chu is here. Who dares to fight?"


    The soldiers of Feihu camp under the command of Huang Hu are shouting. Neat voice, resounding through heaven and earth, more like a golden iron horse, with a sharp breath, forced.


    This sudden change spread all over the battlefield.


    The soldiers of the state of Wu trembled at the sound.


    Huang Hu''s reputation is well known throughout the country.


    The whole state of Wu is known to all.


    What happened to Huang Hu?

 Chapter 750

    When they heard that Huang Hu was killed, the morale of the fierce Wu soldiers was immediately frustrated.


    The name of yellow tiger is too cruel.


    Capturing Zhang Fei and beheading Guan Yu are all famous.


    The appearance of Huang Hu frightened Wu soldiers, while Zhou Yu on the mountain was stunned.


    He stares at the direction of the yellow tiger at the foot of the mountain.


    He looked at the cavalry of flying tiger camp killed by haodang.


    Zhou Yu said nothing.


    In his eyes, his expression changed from expectation to helplessness, and then from helplessness to despair.


    A melancholy spirit spread in Zhou Yu''s chest.


    For a long time, he prepared for the war.


    For the sake of this war, he worked very hard and finally burned the camp of the Fourth Army and trapped Tarshis.


    Looking at the victory, suddenly, the yellow tiger came.


    It was like a bolt from the blue.


    If Zhou Yu is not reconciled, how can he be reconciled? This war is related to the national fate of Wu.


    The victory of the war gave Wu a chance to breathe.


    The failure of the war left Wu no chance.


    His heart is very uncomfortable, as if he was hit by a hammer.


    "Poof!"


    Zhou Yu couldn''t help it any more. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.


    As the blood mist sprayed, Zhou Yu sat down on the ground with a pale face and a lost expression: "heaven does not protect Zhou Yu, heaven does not protect Wu."


    Zhu ran stood beside Zhou Yu with an anxious look.


    Zhu ran said: "Dudu, let''s withdraw. Now we have a chance to escape."


    Zhou Yu shook his head miserably: "in front of the cavalry, can you escape?"


    If the other side is infantry, Zhou Yu thinks he has a chance.


    But in front of the cavalry, how can two legs beat four?


    Zhou Yu ordered: "summon, the whole army surrender."


    "Ah


    Zhu ran was stunned. He stared at Zhou Yu with a puzzled look.


    To surrender?


    Zhu ran knows how proud Zhou Yu is. It''s really very difficult for Zhou Yu to say the word surrender.


    Now that Zhou Yu has surrendered, we can imagine how hard he has been hit.


    "Summon, all the troops surrender!"


    Zhu ran did not oppose it either, and directly ordered his surrender.


    The order went down and soon reached the foot of the mountain.


    The soldiers of the state of Wu were frightened when they heard the news of the arrival of the yellow tiger and saw the killing of the yellow tiger.


    When they heard the order of surrender, they gave up their resistance and laid down their weapons one after another.


    As soon as Huang Hu arrived, he was ready to kill him. All of a sudden, all the soldiers of Wu state knelt down and surrendered. Huang Hu was stunned when he saw this scene.


    What the hell is going on?


    Tai Shici came to Huang Hu''s side. He was holding a big gun and gasping.


    He has been exhausted by continuous fighting.


    At the moment, I can finally relax.


    Huang Hu turned over and dismounted and said, "Ziyi, it''s hard for you."


    Tai Shici recovered after a long time. He grinned and said, "this battle is thanks to General Huang. If it wasn''t for you, I''m afraid Tai Shici would be Zhou Yu''s prisoner."


    Ma Su also came over, but he was spotless. Under the protection of the soldiers, he was not hurt.


    At the moment, Ma Su is a bit embarrassed.


    But Ma Su said, "General Huang, thank you for your kindness."


    Ma Su was hit hard by the failure of the plan.


    With a smile, Huang Hu said, "what do you thank me for? Thank you, too. When the Fourth Army and Zhou Yu started a full-scale war, the king arranged for me to quietly lead the troops into Jiancheng county to support the Fourth Army. If the Fourth Army defeats Zhou Yu successfully, I will not appear. If there is a problem, I will have a rescue. Fortunately, this time I was in Jiancheng County, so I could come in time. "


    Tai Shi Ci and Ma Su were also glad to hear the speech.


    This battle is really lucky.


    Huang Hu ordered the soldiers of the Fourth Army to take action and detain all the Wu soldiers.


    Zhou Yu, Zhu ran and others went down the mountain.


    Zhou Yu and others were escorted by the soldiers, their faces were like earth color, like mourning.


    Huang Hu stares at Zhou Yu, laughs and says solemnly, "Zhou Yu, governor Zhou Dadu, this time I caught you, but I really caught a big fish."


    Zhou Yu looked lonely, looked up at Huang Hu, then lowered his head and said nothing.


    Huang Hu did not make things difficult. He told the soldiers to take good care of them.


    Huang Hu looked at Tai Shici and said, "general Tai Shici, can we fight next?"


    Taishici said: "can fight!"


    Huang Hu looked around and said with a smile, "you soldier of the Fourth Army, can you really fight again?"


    "Yes


    Tess nodded confidently.Taishici explained: "although there were few soldiers left in this battle, some soldiers ran away and a group of soldiers went to Nanchang County. After counting the battlefields of Jiancheng County, I went to Nanchang county to join the army and capture Guangling county. "


    Huang Hu sighed: "well, I''m going to let the flying tiger camp take part in the war."


    Taishici said: "General Huang''s Flying Tiger camp must be used at a critical time."


    A word of flattery blocked Huang Hu''s mouth.


    Huang Hu said, "just, just."


    He took his soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and when he finished dealing with the corpses, he took Tai Shici and Ma Su to Jiancheng county.


    The camp was burned, but Jiancheng county is still there.


    The army set up camp again outside the city, and temporarily transferred grain from Jiancheng county.


    He was busy until late at night, and then he was able to rest.


    At this time, Tai Shici invited Zhou Yu to the camp.


    Taishici didn''t bind Zhou Yu. He waved his hand and said, "Dudu, please sit down!"


    Zhou Yu sat down and sneered, "Tai Shici, do you want to humiliate the governor now? Ha ha, just come. "


    On the mountain, he tried his best to suppress Tai Shici.


    Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed, and he had become a prisoner of Tsz.


    Tai Shici said, "governor, I don''t want to humiliate you. Dadu has won the Fourth Army in this battle. If the king did not arrange Huang Hu to hold down the battle, the fourth army would be completely destroyed. "


    Zhou Yu snorted and did not speak.


    Tai Shici continued: "I invited the governor to the camp, hoping that the governor would submit to the king."


    "Dudu is a wise man who should be able to see the situation clearly."


    "Today''s state of Wu is already in the twilight. It''s impossible to live any longer."


    "Under the joint attack of Chu and Wei, Wu will be defeated."


    Taishici said: "Dudu, submit to the king. The king is thirsty for talents, and he has always admired the governor. With the ability of Dadu governor, under the command of the king, he will certainly be able to display his talents. "


    Listening to the persuasion, Zhou Yu burst out laughing and said sarcastically, "Tai Shici, the governor will never surrender. This governor is not a soft bone like some people. If a man is born, how can he turn his back to the enemy. "


    Taishici listened to Zhou Yu''s harsh words, but he looked calm and unaffected.


    Zhou Yu''s words did not affect him.


    Tai Shici said, "governor, please think about it carefully."


    Zhou Yu said forcefully: "don''t think about it. What the governor has decided will never be changed. Let me surrender to Liu Xiu. It''s impossible in this life, and it''s impossible in the next. "


    After hearing this, he sighed.


    But he had to send someone to take Zhou Yu down.


    Early the next morning, Tai Shici asked Huang Hu to escort Zhou Yu and Zhu ran to Qichun county.


    He couldn''t persuade Zhou Yu. He could only persuade Liu Xiu.


    After sending Zhou Yu and others away, Zhou Yu reorganized his soldiers and led his army to Nanchang County.

 Chapter 751

    Qichun county.


    On the official road outside the city, a prison car drove slowly towards Qichun city.


    There was a man sitting in the van, shabby in clothes, haggard in hair, haggard in face, and miserable in appearance.


    This man is Zhou Yu.


    Taishici killed the whole army to Nanchang County, while Zhou Yu was escorted to Qichun County by soldiers.


    Sitting in the prison car, Zhou Yu is not thinking about himself.


    He has become a prisoner, and his life and death have long been ignored.


    Zhou Yu is thinking about Xiao Qiao.


    Before that, he had seen through Ma Su''s plan and made a strategic plan. He gave up Nanchang City on purpose, and there were soldiers in the city. Zhou Yu was confident that he could take back Nanchang city.


    Therefore, Xiao Qiao was placed in Nanchang city.


    Now that he is captured, and Tai Shici leads his troops to kill him, Nanchang city must be lost.


    Under such circumstances, can little Joe be safe?


    All along the way, Zhou Yu was thinking about it.


    "Wheel! Wheel


    The wheels turned and the carriage crept slowly.


    In September, the autumn wind is rustling, the sky is a little gloomy, but the air is cool and fresh.


    Zhou Yu looked up and saw Qichun city.


    Qichun city is here!


    Zhou Yu suddenly felt a thump in his heart. He knew that he was going to face Liu Xiu.


    Zhou Yu was not indecisive. After he was captured, he had already thought about his fate and was not afraid of Liu Xiu.


    Just have to face Liu Xiu, heart has a kind of unclear feeling.


    It is difficult to explain the five flavors.


    Since Liu Xiu''s rise in Changsha County, he has been harmed many times.


    Constantly beat him, constantly hit Wu.


    It is no exaggeration to say that Zhou Yu has become Liu Xiu''s sharpening stone, while the state of Wu has become Liu Xiu''s stepping stone.


    As a prisoner, Zhou Yu was about to face the biggest enemy in his life. For a moment, he was in a mixed mood.


    The people he faces are like a big devil.


    No matter how he tosses, he can''t hurt Liu Xiu.


    In the end, it was he who was injured.


    The carriage went all the way, but did not enter the city, straight to the barracks.


    When they came to the gate of the barracks, the soldiers who were guarding the gate had been given orders early, but they didn''t stop them and let them go directly.


    Zhou Yu stepped down from the prison car, led by the soldiers, and went straight to the big account of the Chinese army.


    Enter the camp.


    The light dimmed slightly.


    Zhou Yu looked up and saw Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu was dressed in a white robe, with a purple gold crown on his head and a jade belt around his waist. Liu Xiu looked at him with a smile on his face, without the boundless dignity of the head of a country.


    Just like this, Zhou Yu felt even more uncomfortable.


    This is the enemy of his life.


    Unfortunately, he now meets Liu Xiu as a prisoner.


    Zhou Yu stood without saluting or saying a word.


    The soldier wanted to fight Zhou Yu, but Liu Xiu waved his hand to stop him. Liu Xiu said, "take Dudu to wash and change his clothes. He is a good servant, and should not be neglected. "


    The soldiers were surprised when they heard the speech.


    Isn''t Zhou Yu a prisoner?


    Do you want to give Zhou Yu a bath and change his clothes?


    However, Liu Xiu gave the order, but the soldiers did not dare to question it, and immediately took Zhou Yu down.


    From beginning to end, Zhou Yu didn''t say a word.


    About two quarters of an hour later, Zhou Yu came again.


    After washing, Zhou Yu combed his hair again, dressed in a blue robe and regained his former beauty. The only difference is that Zhou Yu''s face is expressionless and his eyes are indifferent.


    Liu Xiu waved the soldiers back.


    Only Zhou Yu and Liu Xiu were left in the camp.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "governor, please sit down."


    Zhou Yu did not refuse. He went to the seat, lifted his robe and sat down.


    However, Zhou Yu still did not speak.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "shouldn''t the governor have a lot to say to me? For example, we all scold our king. Or, give us some advice. "


    Zhou Yu looked up at Liu Xiu and said, "the winner is the king, and the loser is the enemy. If you lose, you will lose. If I yell at you angrily, will you be a monkey? "


    Liu Xiu said: "the governor of Dadu is wise!"


    Zhou Yu said, "no matter how wise you are, you will not be a prisoner of the king of Chu."


    Liu Xiuse said: "the defeat of Dadu governor is no longer due to the lack of wisdom of Dadu governor. It is due to the weakness of Wu state."


    Zhou Yu snorted, but did not speak again.


    Liu Xiu said: "do you want to serve the king, governor of Dadu?"


    Liu Xiu has great admiration for Zhou Yu.


    In the interpretation, Zhou Yu is aiming at Zhuge Liang everywhere. What he shows is a man with a heavy heart of jealousy. But in fact, Zhou Yu was a man of great accomplishment with great bearing and broad mind.In terms of talent and learning, Zhou Yu was the most famous in Jiangdong.


    On wisdom, Zhou Yu''s command is as firm as his will.


    Such a man can go up to mark and unite the army, and go down to fight.


    If he can get Zhou Yu''s loyalty, Liu Xiu will have another general under his command.


    It is of great help to Liu Xiu''s future.


    Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Zhou Yusheng is from the state of Wu. Death is from the state of Wu. It''s impossible for him to surrender."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes showed a curious look, and said: "in that case, when Jiancheng county was built, why did the governor let the soldiers surrender?"


    For this reason, Liu Xiu is quite curious.


    Zhou Yu surrendered, but he did not.


    Zhou Yu''s face was solemn, and he said: "all soldiers can surrender, but the governor can''t. Just like the state of Wu, all the officials can surrender, but the king of Wu can''t


    Liu Xiu said: "Dadu governor is also one of the ministers."


    Zhou Yu said, "but I just can''t surrender, and I''m not willing to surrender. If the king of Chu wants to kill him, he will kill him. If the governor is defeated by the king of Chu, he has nothing to say. "


    Liu Xiu frowned.


    Once a wise man like Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu has made up his mind, it will be very difficult to persuade him.


    It''s not easy to shake each other.


    Liu Xiu said, "why bother the governor?"


    Zhou Yu said: "everyone has his own persistence, and I have my own persistence. The king of Chu is a wise man, wise and resourceful. He should know that I am not lying. If you don''t surrender, you really don''t surrender. "


    Liu Xiu felt sorry when he heard the speech.


    Zhou Yu is a real general.


    If he missed it, it would be a pity. He didn''t want to kill Zhou Yu.


    Liu Xiu thought about it in his heart. After a moment, he had an idea in his heart and said, "come on


    Soldiers enter and bow.


    Zhou Yu said, "thank you for your next pleasure."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "I didn''t intend to kill you, so I''m going to live in the military camp."


    When Zhou Yu heard the speech, he was also stunned.


    He thought Liu Xiu wanted to kill him, but Liu Xiu didn''t intend to kill him.


    Liu Xiu said, "take Dadu governor down to have a rest. You can''t neglect him if you want to serve him well. Those who disobey the order will be killed! "


    "Here it is


    The soldier was ordered to turn around and withdraw with Zhou Yu.


    Liu Xiu said, "please Deng Zhan!"


    Another pro guard heard the speech and immediately went down to inform him.


    After a short time, Deng Zhan entered the barracks, saluted with his fist and said, "king."


    Liu Xiu said, "Deng Zhan, send the royal guards to send a message immediately and invite Lu Su to Qichun county."


    "Here it is


    Deng Zhan answered, but did not ask why.


    If Liu Xiu wants to tell him, he will. But Liu Xiu did not say that Deng Zhan would not ask. He waited for a moment. Seeing that Liu Xiu didn''t say anything later, he turned to arrange.

 Chapter 752

    Xiangyang, in the city.


    Liu Xiu left Xiangyang with his troops and said, "so you don''t have to worry."


    Zhao Yun has worked with Lu Su for many years and knows what Lu Su is worried about.


    Lu Su was a wise man, but he was more mellow, magnanimous and attached great importance to friendship. Although he didn''t take part in Wu affairs, there was still a place in his heart.


    It was difficult for Lu Su to be caught in the war between Chu and Wu.


    After listening to Zhao Yun, Lu Su was relieved.


    He was worried that Liu Xiu would let him make plans to attack the state of Wu, and let him command the army to attack the state of Wu. Now Tai Shi Ci and Ma Su have defeated Wu Jun, and Lu Su''s great stone has fallen to the ground.


    But Lu Su was more curious. What happened? Liu Xiu asked him to go?


    Zhao Yun said: "Zijing, the king is in a hurry. You can go early."


    "Good!"


    Lu Su didn''t think about it any more. He turned to prepare for it and left with the royal guards.


    This way to Qichun County, Lu Su did not take a carriage, but riding.


    Lu Su was a civil servant, but he was not a man without the power to bind a chicken.


    He is adept at bowing and riding without influence.


    All the way, in a short time, it has arrived in Qichun county. At this time, Lu Su was already very tired and haggard.


    Along the way, Lu Su was in a hurry.


    So I got a little tired.


    Lu Su entered the camp and saw Liu Xiu in the Chinese army tent. He saluted and said, "Minister Lu Su, meet the king."


    Liu Xiu was also surprised to see Lu Su''s appearance: "Zi Jing, I''m afraid you haven''t had a rest all the way."


    Lu Su zhengse way: "I think about the king''s things, the heart is not steady, then hurry to come."


    Liu Xiu stroked his forehead with a smile and said, "it''s all my fault. When Deng Zhan was arranged, he didn''t make it clear. It''s not a big deal to come to you. It''s to persuade you to surrender Zhou Yu. After all, you and Zhou Yu have been on business and have a good relationship. Zhou Yu is a talented person. It would be a pity to kill him. "


    Lu Su listened and said, "I''m willing to have a try."


    As a good friend of Zhou Yu, Lu Su didn''t want Zhou Yu killed, which was a pity.


    Liu Xiu said, "don''t worry. You are so dusty and tired all the way. Have a good rest for a day, and then talk about it. It is not easy to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender. "


    Lu Su wanted to persuade Zhou Yu immediately.


    Only after listening to Liu Xiu''s words, he agreed with Liu Xiu''s analysis.


    Zhou Yu is a wise man.


    The smarter a person is, the more stubborn he is, and the more he believes in his own opinions.


    Zhou Yu was not willing to submit.


    It is not easy to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender.


    But Lu Su wanted to have a try.


    Not only for Liu Xiu, but also for Zhou Yu.


    Lu Su zhengse way: "minister listen to the king''s arrangement, rest a day, tomorrow to see Gongjin."


    At this time, Lu Su was completely down-to-earth.


    On the way here, he was still thinking about what it was. Now it was Zhou Yu''s business, and Lu Su was completely relieved.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and asked, "Zijing, what''s the situation in Xiangyang?"


    Lu Su solemnly said, "everything is the same as before, but soon after I arrived in Xiangyang, I was requisitioned by Lord Kuai Liang. I was too busy to deal with government affairs in Xiangyang."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "you are outstanding. Of course Kuai Liang is looking for you. Who are you looking for if he doesn''t?"


    Speaking of this, Liu Xiu suddenly said, "Zijing, have you ever considered becoming an official in the court?"


    "Ah


    Lu Su was shocked.


    Liu Xiu''s news came suddenly.


    He has always been a military adviser in the third army. Now he is surprised to hear about Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiuse said: "in times of war, it is mainly to fight the world; once the world is settled, it is mainly to govern the world. After Wu was pacified, there was a decisive battle between Chu and Wei. When the world is unified, the center of gravity will be shifted. "


    Lu Su zhengse way: "I listen to the king''s arrangement."


    "Good!"


    After listening to Liu Xiu.


    Lu Su obeyed the arrangement and agreed to join the central office.


    With Lu Su''s ability, it is impossible for him to be a military strategist all the time. He must enter the core center under Liu Xiu''s command.


    Liu Xiu said: "you go down to have a rest, wash and have a good rest. Then, I''ll think about Zhou Yu. "


    "Here it is


    Lu Su bowed his hand and left.


    Liu Xiu looked at Lu Su''s back and looked forward to it. Lu Su was not only eloquent, but also close friends with Zhou Yu.


    Lu Su''s persuasion gave him greater assurance.

 Chapter 753

    Zhou Yu''s camp.


    During this time, Zhou Yu stayed in the camp.


    Liu Xiu did not restrict his movement, but Zhou Yu did not leave.


    In Zhou Yu''s heart, he was thinking about how Liu Xiu would treat him.


    Have you been in custody?


    Maybe.


    However, in Zhou Yu''s mind, he did not know what the future would be like?


    "Step on it! Step on it


    The sound of steady steps came from outside.


    "Hoo


    The tent curtain suddenly rolled up.


    A figure suddenly came in.


    Zhou Yu looked up, his body suddenly froze, and the expression on his face was a little unnatural. Immediately, the expression on his face returned to calm, and he said, "what''s the matter with you?"


    It was Lu Su who came.


    After washing, he took a rest and came to Zhou Yu''s camp.


    Lu Su with a smile, arched: "Gongjin!"


    After many years, Lu Su was very excited to see Zhou Yu again.


    In the past year, he was taken away by Liu Xiu and has worked for him ever since.


    Lu Su knew that Zhou Yu might hate him for betraying the state of Wu. But Lu Su got it. If Zhou Yu didn''t submit to Liu Xiu, Lu Su worried that Liu Xiu would order Zhou Yu to be killed. This is not what Lu Su wanted to see.


    Lu Su entered the camp, lifted up his robe and sat down. He said with a straight face, "the king asked me to see you."


    With Zhou Yu''s intelligence, he will be able to guess the purpose of his coming.


    Therefore, Lu Su directly said that Liu Xiu arranged it.


    Zhou Yu sneered: "Liu Xiu can''t persuade me to surrender. It''s for you to persuade me. Unfortunately, it was in vain. I''ve decided that if I don''t obey Liu Xiu, I will never obey him. "


    Lu Su''s face became serious when he heard the speech.


    He knows Zhou Yu.


    This is a man of great determination and pride.


    It is not easy to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender.


    But no matter what, Lu Su had to do it.


    Lu Su said, "Gongjin, I''m here to persuade you as a friend. You are a wise man and a governor of the state of Wu. You know the general trend of the world today. "


    "The state of Wu is in a corner, and it is already in a weak position."


    "If the world is one strong and two weak, we can still maintain the situation of tripartite confrontation."


    "But now the situation is two strong and one weak."


    "The state of Chu and the state of Wei jointly attacked the state of Wu, but the state of Wu could not stop it."


    Lu Su looked forward to it and said sincerely, "the state of Wu can''t stop it. It''s time for you to consider it for yourself."


    Zhou Yu snorted: "Lu Xun has just defeated tens of thousands of Cao Cao''s troops and captured Zhang Liao and Xun you. Today, Cao Cao has been severely damaged, and he is afraid of the state of Wu. If Cao Cao continues to attack Wu, if he fails again, the gap between Wei and Chu will widen. "


    Lu Su stared at Zhou Yu and sighed.


    Zhou Yu frowned and said, "why do you sigh?"


    Lu Su said: "Gongjin, you have been in Yuzhang County, far from understanding the state of Wu."


    "What''s the situation?"


    Zhou Yu had a bad feeling in his heart.


    Lu Su zhengse way: "today''s Wu, there have been countless ministers have been to Chu."


    "Lu Xun is one of them."


    "Lu Xun captured Zhang Liao and Xun you, and Zhang Zhao suggested that Zhang Liao and Xun you be handed over to our king. Zhang Zhao, a man, has already turned to the state of Chu. "


    "After the Lu family and the Zhang family, there are many other ministers of the state of Wu."


    "The whole state of Wu''s heart has been broken."


    "Under such circumstances, how do you think the state of Wu can resist? Even without the state of Wei, the king could easily overthrow the state of Wu with his existing strength. "


    "It''s just that the king is using the power of Wu to weaken Wei."


    Lu Su''s words are very confidential.


    During his stay in Xiangyang, he came into contact with many difficult secrets, including the information of Zhang Zhao, Lu Xun and others.


    After hearing Lu Su''s words, Zhou Yu was stunned.


    Zhou Yu''s eyes were full of wonder and shock.


    How is that possible?


    How could Lu''s family betray Wu and Zhang Zhao betray Wu?


    Zhou Yu murmured, "it''s impossible. It''s not true. It''s absolutely not true."


    Lu Su said: "Lu Kang died because of Bofu. The Lu family regarded the sun family as the enemy. It''s no accident that Lu Xun surrendered to the king. And Zhang Zhao has to consider Zhang''s family, especially when the Wu state is gone, and Zhang Zhao''s family interests are subordinated


    Zhou Yu clenched his fist and looked angry.


    "Son of a bitch!"


    Zhou Yu hammered his fist on the desk, his eyes full of anger.


    Zhou Yu''s anger soared when he thought that Wu was in such a situation.


    Lu Su said: "Gongjin, it''s useless for you to be angry. So many years, you have been struggling to support if, not hard? If Wu had not had you, it would have collapsed. "


    When Zhou Yu heard the speech, he sighed.He stayed in Yuzhang county and seldom returned to Wu County for the Spring Festival.


    Such a day, can not tired?


    He even left his wife in the cold. Can he not be bitter?


    However, the state of Wu is also his foundation.


    The surname of Wu is sun, but he and sun CE fought everything in Wu.


    As long as he''s alive, he can''t watch everything he''s given turn into water.


    Zhou Yu looked up at Lu Su and said, "Zi Jing, I know you''ve had a good time these years, and I know you can get more if you obey Liu Xiu. However, I will not surrender because I am Zhou Yu. How can Zhou Yu bend his knees to surrender. "


    Strong words come from Zhou Yu.


    Zhou Yu''s eyes were bright, and his heart was full of emotion. He said, "great. I''ll go down and accompany Bo Fu. I haven''t seen him for so many years, and I don''t know if he is well down there. "


    After Lu Su listened, his brows wrinkled tightly.


    With his understanding of Zhou Yu.


    When Zhou Yu said these words, it was extremely difficult to persuade him.


    Lu Su said, "Gongjin, why are you suffering?"


    "Everyone has their own choice, and that''s my choice," Zhou said


    "You..."


    Lu Su shook his head and choked speechless.


    All of a sudden, Zhou Yu called out, "come on


    As soon as the voice dropped, soldiers came in and waited.


    Zhou Yu said, "prepare a pot of wine. The governor will get drunk with Lu su."


    "Here it is


    The soldier went down, and he soon brought a pot of wine.


    Lu Su took the initiative to fill a glass of wine for Zhou Yu, and then filled it with wine. He said with a straight face: "Gongjin, I won''t let the king kill you. Here''s a toast. Take care of yourself. I''ll persuade the king. "


    With that, Lu Su looked up and drank.


    He said no more, got up and left the camp.


    Zhou Yu sat in the camp, sipping the wine and murmuring, "why bother?"


    Zhou Yu knew Lu Su very well.


    What''s more, Zhou Yu and Lu Su met at the end of Wei Dynasty, and they were friends from the beginning. He knew Lu Su''s character and that he was a man who did what he said.


    Lu Su said in front of him that if he wanted to save him, he would not break his promise.


    Just, is it worth it?


    He was determined not to submit to Liu Xiu.


    What''s the point of Liu Xiu keeping him?


    "Stop when you''re drunk. Just get drunk."


    Zhou Yu murmured to himself, drinking cup by cup. There was not much wine under Zhou Yu''s jaw, but only half a pot of wine. He was already drunk and fell asleep on the table.

 Chapter 754

    Liu Su''s mind was set on his business.


    At this time, Lu Su thought about how to persuade Liu Xiu.


    If Zhou Yu does not surrender and keeps Zhou Yu, it is tantamount to keeping an unstable factor.


    This is not allowed.


    Lu Su entered the camp, saluted Liu Xiu and said, "king, I failed."


    When Liu Xiu heard the news, he also sighed.


    It''s a pity that Zhou Yu is so talented and versatile that he can''t use it. In other words, before the founding of the state, Liu Xiu had only the land of Jingzhou, and he would never keep Zhou Yu. He would surely kill later.


    But now Liu Xiu''s status and identity have changed, and his environment has also changed.


    After everything has changed, Liu Xiu hopes to keep talents.


    After the unification of the world, too many talents are needed.


    Liu xiudao: "if you fail, you will fail. Consider other ways."


    Lu Su a listen to, some startled way: "King don''t kill Gongjin?"


    In his heart, he thought about how to persuade Liu Xiu. Unexpectedly, the meaning revealed in Liu Xiu''s words was not to kill Zhou Yu.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "Gongjin, when did the King say that he would kill Zhou Yu?"


    Lu Su said: "I''d like to ask the king to surrender his crime."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "it''s OK. Tell me, what''s the way to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender."


    "Hard!"


    Lu Su smiles bitterly.


    Lu Su said: "Gongjin is a very intelligent person. The more intelligent she is, the more paranoid she is. It''s hard to change what he believes. "


    Speaking of this, Lu Su said, "I really can''t. please put him in lumen Academy."


    Lu Su knew about Zhuge Liang.


    There is Zhuge Liang''s precedent, and Zhou Yu can do the same.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "ZHUGE Liang is different from Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu can wait."


    Compared with Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang is more proud.


    Once upon a time, Liu Xiu studied art with Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang knew Liu Xiu better.


    After Zhuge Liang worked for Liu Bei, he was defeated many times. In the end, he was completely defeated by Liu Xiu and became Liu Xiu''s prisoner.


    Zhuge Liang''s self-esteem is stronger, so it is more difficult to persuade him.


    In particular, Zhuge Liang has always been alone.


    Even though Zhuge Liang''s sister persuaded him, Zhuge Liang was not willing to submit.


    But after all, Zhou Yu had a family and had children. With these, Zhou Yu had weaknesses. So Liu Xiu is waiting. Once he conquers the state of Wu and takes Zhou Yu''s family, he can still operate.


    Everyone likes loyal people.


    For example, Cao Cao has a special preference for Guan Yu and appreciates him very much.


    Not only appreciate Guan Yu''s martial arts, but also appreciate Guan Yu''s loyalty.


    Similarly, Liu Xiu appreciates Zhou Yu.


    Appreciate Zhou Yu''s talent, also appreciate Zhou Yu''s loyalty.


    If Zhou Yu could be brought down, Liu Xiu would have one more general.


    Lu Su said: "king, please stay in the barracks for the time being to persuade Gongjin."


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    With Lu Su in the room, you can also consult with him on some matters.


    Lu Su left, and Liu Xiu sat alone in the camp, thinking about how to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender.


    "It seems that we really have to wait until we win the state of Wu, and then persuade Zhou Yu to surrender."


    Liu Xiu shook his head.


    At present, it is not far from winning Wu.


    Taishici sent back the news that he led the army to conquer Nanchang County, and even defeated Xu Shengsuo who had fled. Although Xu Sheng fled, taishici had begun to control Yuzhang county.


    This progress is quite beneficial to the state of Chu.


    In addition, Huang Zhong, who has not made progress, has also made a breakthrough.


    Huang Zhong led his army to break through the defense line of the state of Wu in Kuaiji County, stormed into Kuaiji, seized Kuaiji at one stroke, and began to threaten Wu County.


    Both news are beneficial to the state of Chu.


    Liu Xiu thought about it and put down his mind to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender.


    At this time, the tent curtain was lifted.


    Fazheng strode in, with a faint smile on his face, and said, "Congratulations, congratulations."


    Liu said: "where does happiness come from?"


    FA Zhengdao: "I just received the news that after taishici captured Nanchang County, a woman asked to see taishici on her own initiative. This woman is no one else. It''s Zhou Yu''s woman, Xiao Qiao. The king has been worried about how to persuade Zhou Yu. Now with Xiao Qiao, there will be a breakthrough. "


    Liu Xiu smell speech, Mou son immediately a bright.


    Zhou Yu is like a tortoise, hiding in its shell.


    Now with Joe, things are much easier.


    Liu Xiu said: "how can Xiao Qiao take the initiative to find Tai Shici?"


    Fazheng replied: "it is said that the soldiers of the letter said that after the news of Zhou Yu''s capture came out, Xiao Qiao took the initiative to find Tai Shici."Liu Xiu said with emotion: "spoony woman, it''s really bold to do this step."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu asked, "where are the people?"


    Fazheng replied, "it''s on the way. It''s expected that Xiao Qiao will arrive at the barracks this afternoon."


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu couldn''t help cheering: "this piece of news came too timely. Zhou Yu didn''t let go. Even Lu Su''s persuasion didn''t help. Now that Xiao Qiao is here, let''s see how Zhou Yu can survive. "


    FA Zhengdao said: "congratulations to your majesty, you have won another general."


    Liu Xiu laughed and got up in a good mood. He said, "it''s not too late. I''ll go to find Zhou Yu now."


    Fazheng said: "king, send someone to bring him here."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "it''s not right. I''d better go in person. If you go and do your work, you must be on guard against Cao Cao. You think about the plan, and then you arrange it. "


    "Here it is


    The law should be followed.


    When it comes to fighting with Cao Cao, Fazheng also feels great responsibility.


    Liu Xiu left the tent and soon came to Zhou Yu''s tent.


    Seeing Liu Xiu, Zhou Yu sneered, "the king of Chu asked Lu Su to persuade him to fail. Now, is he going to kill me?"


    Liu Xiu sat down with a smile, shook his head and said, "I won''t kill you."


    Zhou Yu said, "do you want to persuade me to surrender?"


    Liu xiudao: "exactly."


    Zhou Yu shook his head with a determined look: "I''ve already made up my mind. I can''t surrender. Liu Xiu, you are in vain. "


    Liu Xiu was amused at Zhou Yu''s words.


    At the moment, he is very determined.


    Zhou Yu watched Liu Xiu''s face change. He saw that Liu Xiu looked confident and determined, and he was beating a drum in his heart.


    However, Zhou Yu thought that as long as he was firm in heart, he could not be bewitched by Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiuse said: "Gongjin, in the first half of your life, you lived for sun CE and Wu. For the rest of your life, live for your woman. "


    Boom!!


    In Zhou Yu''s mind, it was like thunder.


    In a flash, Zhou Yu was confused, his eyes lost focus, and his eyes were lax.


    His calm heart is already turbulent.


    At this moment, Zhou Yu could no longer keep calm.


    Zhou Yu''s woman is Xiao Qiao.


    In Zhou Yu''s mind, Xiao Qiao is his forbidden and impenetrable bottom line.


    Even if Zhou Yuxuan recovered, his eyes became fierce. Zhou Yu clenched his fist, just like shaking his head and staring at Liu Xiu, said: "Liu Xiu, if Xiao Qiao has any problems, as long as Zhou Yu doesn''t die, he will revenge you and never die."


    Liu Xiu sneered and said, "did I say that I want to deal with Xiao Qiao?"


    Zhou Yu said, "what do you mean?"


    Hearing Liu Xiu''s words, Zhou Yu inquired.


    It seems that Liu Xiu doesn''t mean to deal with Xiao Qiao.


    Liu Xiu sighed: "Gongjin, you are so lucky to have a good woman."


    Zhou Yu said angrily, "this is nonsense. Naturally I know Xiao Qiao is good."


    Liu Xiu watched Zhou Yu lose his composure, but he felt funny.


    This is the real Zhou Yu.


    In other words, Xiao Qiao is Zhou Yu''s flaw.

 Chapter 755

    Not involving Xiao Qiao, Zhou Yu was indifferent to everything, even in the face of death. But when it comes to Xiao Qiao, he is like an angry tiger or leopard, completely losing his mind.


    Liu Xiu explained: "the news of your capture spread in Nanchang County. Xiao Qiao took the initiative to find Tai Shici. I guess I want to die with you. It''s no pity to have a confidant in life. "


    After hearing this, Zhou Yu was touched.


    "This silly woman, how so silly, do not run away, but also their own door."


    Zhou Yu murmured to himself.


    But his bright eyes, but more than a touch of crystal light.


    A trace of tears, hovering in the eyes.


    Men have tears, but not to sad place.


    Xiao Qiao took the initiative to find Tai Shici, which moved the heart of the iron man.


    Zhou Yu is not afraid of death!


    However, Zhou Yu didn''t want Xiao Qiao to suffer.


    Zhou Yu took a deep breath. He rubbed his eyes and looked at Liu Xiu. His face was calm again. He said, "where''s Little Joe?"


    "It''s on the way and it''s expected to arrive in the afternoon," Liu said


    Zhou Yu stared at Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Xiu, you win."


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he immediately began to laugh.


    Zhou Yu understood what he had just said.


    Liu Xiu said that let Zhou Yu live for Xiao Qiao for the rest of his life.


    It means that if Zhou Yu is not loyal to Liu Xiu, Xiao Qiao will die.


    Zhou Yu is loyal to Liu Xiu, and Xiao Qiao is naturally intact.


    With Zhou Yu''s loyalty, in exchange for Xiao Qiao''s life.


    Liu said: "Gongjin, to some extent, you will thank Xiao Qiao later. Because of Xiao Qiao, you will be obedient to Wang and have a broader space for you to gallop. Otherwise, you can only be in a corner of Wu. "


    Zhou Yu snorted, but did not speak.


    Liu Xiu used Xiao Qiao to coerce him into surrender.


    Otherwise, he will never surrender.


    Think of Little Joe for him, willing to take the initiative to find taishici, this has to take as many risks.


    Zhou Yu was moved and knew that he could not fail Xiao Qiao.


    Zhou Yu said, "king of Chu, although I am submissive, I will never take part in the next war against Wu."


    Liu xiudao said, "you don''t need to participate in the war to destroy Wu."


    After hearing this, Zhou Yu thought about Zhang Zhao and Lu Xun. He forced himself to smile and said, "well, in today''s state of Wu, even people like Zhang Zhao are submissive to you. How can the state of Wu resist it? The root of Wu is rotten. It can''t stop you. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "adjust your state well. I hope you can shine brilliantly when you fight with Cao Cao. As soon as Xiao Qiao arrives, I will send someone to send her to your camp. "


    "Here it is


    Zhou Yu responded.


    Liu Xiu left contentedly.


    After Zhou Yu was demoted, Liu Xiu solved another big problem.


    When Liu Xiu returned to the camp, he first sent someone to call Lu Su and said, "Zi Jing, Gong Jin has fallen."


    "Ah


    Lu Su was a little surprised. How did Zhou Yu suddenly change his attention.


    It''s really weird.


    Lu Su asked, "what''s going on?"


    Liu Xiu replied, "Wang just received the news. Xiao Qiao took the initiative to find Tai Shici. She wants to accompany Zhou Yu. The appearance of Xiao Qiao completely lost Zhou Yu''s support. "


    Lu Su said: "king, Gongjin still has family members in Wu County. The minister suggested that the news of Gongjin''s obedience should not be disclosed for the time being. In this way, Sun Quan will not be angry with the Zhou family. "


    "Of course," Liu said. In addition, the king will send a letter to Zhang Zhao to take care of him. "


    Lu Su said: "thank you, king."


    Liu Xiuse said: "Yuzhang county is conquered, Kuaiji county is conquered, and the next step is to invade the state of Wu. The joint attack of Chu and Wei against Wu is coming to an end. Then there was the battle between Chu and Wu. "


    "Zijing, return to Xiangyang and prepare as soon as possible."


    "At the same time, he ordered wenpin and Zhang Ren in the north to prepare for the war."


    Liu Xiu is looking forward to the war of world unification.


    Over the years, Chu had such a foundation that it was no longer a daydream to unify the world.


    Lu Su said, "don''t worry, your majesty. Your humble position will be arranged properly. Time is urgent. I''ll rush back to Xiangyang to deal with the coming war with the state of Wei. "


    "Well!"


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    Lu Su went out to Zhou Yu''s camp.


    Seeing Zhou Yu again, Lu Su looked relaxed and said, "Gongjin, I''m going to return to Xiangyang. Take care of yourself when you''re here. "


    Zhou Yu said with a smile, "relax, I''m ok."


    Zhou Yu is also a free and easy person.


    Now that we have made up our mind to surrender, we will no longer think about it or hesitate.


    Lu Su said something to Zhou Yu again before he left.Sitting in the tent, Zhou Yu waited.


    At this time, time seemed extremely long for Zhou Yu.


    It was not easy to get through the noon, but no one was seen.


    The closer time came, the more impatient Zhou Yu was, and it was hard for him to keep calm.


    Time goes by little by little.


    Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from outside the camp.


    A soldier entered and reported, "Your Majesty, please go to the gate of the camp."


    "OK, OK, I see."


    Zhou Yu knew that it must be someone who was coming soon. He put on his clothes in a hurry, straightened out and went to the gate of the camp.


    At the gate of the camp, there was no one but him and the soldiers on guard.


    Obviously, Liu Xiu is not going to participate.


    Zhou Yu looked up at the official road outside, looking forward, and couldn''t wait.


    Suddenly, his eyes lit up.


    Because a group of soldiers appeared on the official road in the distance.


    The soldiers escorted the carriage slowly towards the camp.


    At this moment, Zhou Yu was very anxious.


    With the carriage getting closer to the camp, Zhou Yu''s heart was more and more nervous than ever before. When he saw the carriage stop, he saw a beautiful woman step out of the carriage. Suddenly, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and he met her.


    It''s Joe.


    Zhou Yu went to Xiao Qiao''s side, silent, but his eyes showed deep love.


    Joe was embarrassed and said, "husband!"


    Zhou Yu returned to his senses and said, "go, follow me into the camp."


    Xiao Qiao nodded and followed Zhou Yu to the camp.


    Back in the barracks, Xiao Qiao said, "husband, I see that the soldiers won''t stop you from moving. Have you submitted to the king of Chu?"


    "Yes


    Zhou Yu nodded.


    Little Qiao Leng next, but immediately way: "husband makes what decision, concubine body supports."


    Zhou Yu holds Xiao Qiao''s hand and smiles, without explaining much.


    Naturally, he would not say that it was Xiao Qiao who surrendered to Liu Xiu. Such things, he knows enough, don''t need to let Joe to bear.


    Zhou Yu changed his words and said, "you are so stupid. You can leave, but you want to come to me."


    Xiao Qiao said: "where there is a husband, there is a home."


    Zhou Yu, touched by the speech, held Xiao Qiao''s hand tightly and said, "I won''t leave you again in the future."


    Before that, he stayed in Yuzhang county every year for the sake of Wu state.


    I can''t see Joe several times all year round. Now I don''t think I should.


    When Xiao Qiao heard Zhou Yu''s love words, he blushed and leaned his head on Zhou Yu''s shoulder with a faint smile on his face. She felt that it was worthwhile for her to take the initiative to find Tsz.

 Chapter 756

    When Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao en love each other, Liu Xiu shouts Fazheng into the tent.


    Fazheng is seated.


    Liu xiudao said: "Zhou Yu was obedient, but the state of Wu was short of generals. Because of Zhou Yu''s capture, Sun Quan would transfer military power. And the person who transferred, Wang concluded, may be Lu Xun. "


    FA Zheng''s eyes were bright and he said, "what the king means is to let Lu Xun be an insider."


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu said, "our army is approaching the state of Wu, and our troops are at the foot of the city. Lu Xun is bound to shrink and withdraw his troops. He will be stationed in Wujun, but don''t we have an inside man? "


    "But at present, we have to make sure that Lu Xun is more valued by Sun Quan."


    "Without this premise, everything will stop."


    Liu Xiu''s plan is very simple, that is to let Lu Xun take power and then act as an insider.


    FA Zhengdao said: "don''t worry, your majesty. I''ll inform Ma Su that they should be on guard against Lu Xun and publicize that they should be careful of Lu Xun''s army. In addition, Zhang Zhao is the guarantor, and Lu Xun is sure to be in power. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "OK, you can arrange this."


    "Here it is


    Fazheng nodded his head.


    Liu Xiu said: "taishici has conquered Yuzhang County, so we should move our position."


    Fazheng said, "where is the king going to move?"


    "Since Nanchang county has won, we will move to Nanchang County," Liu said


    Fazheng said, "I''ll arrange for my humble position."


    Liu Xiu nodded and Fazheng stepped down respectfully.


    Fazheng''s efficiency was extremely fast. In a short time, he arranged Lu Xun''s affairs properly so that the soldiers could see him off in a hurry. Then, Fazheng conveyed the news that the soldiers were near Nanchang County.


    The army pulled out.


    The army left Jiangxia county and went to Yuzhang county.


    When the army arrived in Nanchang County, it stationed there.


    As taishici approached the heart of Wu, if Liu Xiu stayed in Qichun County, he could not control the situation.


    Only by following taishici, can taishici be coordinated.


    ¡­¡­


    Wu state, Wu County.


    Lu Ji came back with a bum injury.


    He recovered a lot from the wound on his buttock.


    In the main hall, Lu Ji saw Sun Quan and knelt down on the ground with a plop, saying: "I''m guilty. Please punish me."


    Sun Quan''s face became solemn as soon as he heard it.


    It''s not good news.


    Sun Quan asked, "what is the situation?"


    Lu Ji knelt down on the ground and said, "report back to the king, Liu Xiu took Zhang Liao and Xun you. However, Liu Xiu refused to surrender. Liu Xiu said that unless the king enters Xiangyang, he will never agree. "


    "Son of a bitch!"


    After hearing this, Sun Quan couldn''t help slapping on the desk.


    "Liu Xiu deceives others too much. Are you really afraid that he will not succeed? I''m in a hurry. I''ll burn both my king and his jade. "


    Sun Quan''s mouth is full of threatening words.


    Now Sun Quan is not at the end of his tether.


    Lu Xun resisted the Cao army in the north, while Zhou Yu was in Yuzhang county. At least the state of Wu had not yet come to the collapse.


    Lu Ji kneels on the ground, but his heart sneers.


    Sun Quan is arrogant and powerful, but in fact, he is weak.


    Lu Ji didn''t show his mind. He kowtowed to the ground with his head and said, "if I can''t fulfill the king''s heavy trust, please punish me."


    Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "it''s expected that Liu Xiu would not agree to surrender. As long as Liu Xiu accepted Zhang Liao and Xun you, he would see how he could get along with the state of Wei. As long as the alliance between Chu and Wei collapsed, Liu Xiu''s offensive naturally weakened. Unfortunately, if Liu Xiu agreed to Wu''s surrender, the alliance between Chu and Wei would be weakened without Zhang Liao and Xun you. "


    Lu Ji said, "Your Majesty is wise!"


    Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "get up, don''t kneel."


    "Thank you


    Lu Ji stands up and thanks respectfully.


    Sun Quan asked, "what''s the situation with regard to the governor of Dadu?"


    Lu Ji replied: "when I passed by Yuzhang County, the governor said, please don''t worry."


    "Good!"


    Sun Quan nodded.


    As long as both Zhou Yu and Lu Xun were stable, the state of Wu would be as stable as Mount Tai.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, the sound of panic came from outside the hall.


    All the people in the hall frowned.


    On the main hall of the state of Wu, what is the order of soldiers?


    Sun Quan''s face was cold, but he also realized that the situation was wrong. He temporarily restrained his killing intention and said, "when?"


    The soldier knelt down and said, "I just received the news. Yuzhang county was lost, and Dadu governor was captured. All the soldiers who fought with Chu were destroyed. "


    Boom!!


    In the main hall, it exploded immediately.


    The courtiers looked frightened and worried.All along, Zhou Yu, like the God of war of the state of Wu, stood in Yuzhang County, blocking the army of the state of Chu.


    Suddenly, Zhou Yu fell down.


    The courtiers of the state of Wu felt that the sky was about to fall.


    Lu Ji stood aside with a look of astonishment on his face.


    When he said goodbye to Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu was in good condition and could still stick to Yuzhang Prefecture. But in a short time, Zhou Yu was defeated.


    Lu Ji was very happy that the Lu family was obedient to Liu Xiu.


    But the rest of the Wu officials were already in a state of panic.


    As the head of the civil service, Zhang Zhao saw that the situation was chaotic and could not ignore it. Even though he had already secretly joined the Lu family, he was still an official of the state of Wu.


    Zhang Zhao suddenly scolded: "silence!"


    With an order, the noise in the hall gradually subsided.


    Everyone''s eyes fell on Zhang Zhaohe and Sun Quan.


    At this time, the situation is grim. What should we do? We have to come up with a charter.


    Sun Quan also recovered and said, "is the news true?"


    The soldier said: "the news is true. Xu Sheng, the great general under the seat of the governor, has entered the city of Wu County. I''ll see you soon. Your majesty


    Sun Quan said, "let Xu Sheng come directly to the palace."


    "Here it is


    The soldiers backed down.


    Sun Quan''s heart is also in a mess.


    Zhou Yu was captured.


    Zhou Yu''s army was defeated.


    Yuzhang County lost!


    This series of news caught Sun Quan off guard.


    Zhou Yu is a standing flag in the state of Wu. When Zhou Yu is here, the state of Wu is there. When Zhou Yu falls down, his heart will disperse.


    Sun Quan did not speak, and the officials below did not dare to speak.


    For a moment, the atmosphere stagnated.


    With the passage of time, I don''t know when, there is a sound of footstep outside the hall.


    A figure came to the gate of the hall.


    This man is Xu Sheng.


    He was chased by Tai Shici, and the soldiers around him suffered heavy losses. He made great efforts to escape back to Wu County.


    Xu Sheng went to the hall and knelt down with a plop: "at the end, I will see the king."


    Sun Quan said in a deep voice: "what''s the matter with the front line? How can the governor of Dadu be defeated suddenly?"


    Xu Sheng said: "king, this is what happened. When the governor was stationed in Nanchang County, the Chu army approached Jiancheng county to the west of Nanchang County. At the beginning, the Chu army spread rumors £¬¡­¡­¡±


    Xu Sheng explained Zhou Yu''s detailed plan.

 Chapter 757

    After Xu Sheng finished, he said: "but no one expected that Chu army had soldiers from flying tiger camp in Jiancheng County, which led to the failure of Dadu governor."


    As a matter of fact, all the news about Zhou Yu in Jiancheng county came to Xu Sheng later.


    He took part in the war in Nanchang County.


    He didn''t take part in the war in Jiancheng county. He heard from the soldiers who had escaped.


    After hearing Xu Sheng''s words, Sun Quan sighed in his heart.


    Zhou Yu worked hard and had a chance to save the situation.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu also arranged reinforcements.


    We can''t blame Zhou Yu for all this, we can only blame Liu Xiu for his cunning.


    Xu Sheng said: "the last general is incompetent. He can''t save the governor. He was killed by Tai Shici and fled. Please surrender."


    Sun Quan said: "the army is defeated, but I can''t blame you. Get up. "


    "Thank you, king."


    Xu Sheng stood up with a dignified face.


    Sun Quan didn''t punish him, but Xu Sheng was a little lucky.


    In fact, Sun Quan can no longer punish Xu Sheng.


    Without Lu Meng, Sun Jing and Zhou Yu, the state of Wu is now in a state of shortage of generals. Under such circumstances, it is meaningless to punish Xu Sheng.


    Sun Quan looked at his ministers and said in a deep voice, "all of you, what should we do? How to resist the approaching of Chu army? "


    Zhang Zhao did not speak.


    Lu Ji did not speak.


    So is Zhu Zhi.


    Gu Yong stood at the bottom, also looking at the nose with eyes and looking at the heart with nose.


    Several important officials remained silent and did not take the initiative to speak.


    At this point, Wu is becoming more and more dangerous.


    However, there are always officials to come forward.


    An official stood up and said in a deep voice: "king, the state of Chu is coming fiercely. Even the governor of Dadu has been defeated. What can the state of Wu resist now? Your majesty, come down. "


    The surrender here is not a surrender in the ordinary sense. It is Sun Quan who wants to enter Xiangyang.


    Only when Sun Quan entered Xiangyang, Liu Xiu would accept him.


    After hearing this, Sun Quan''s face was cold, but he didn''t say a word.


    Sun Quan did not say no, and the other officials in the hall seemed to see hope.


    "When the king surrendered to Liu Xiu, first, the ancestral temples and ancestors of the state of Wu could hold their fists, so that their blood would not be cut off; second, the king''s glory and wealth could hold their fists; third, the people of the state of Wu would not suffer from war. Your majesty, come down. "


    "In terms of relations, Wu and Chu are still related by marriage. If the king surrendered, Liu Xiu would be kind to him. "


    "Please think twice."


    Officials spoke one after another.


    These people persuade Sun Quan to surrender, because they can also be preserved if Sun Quan surrenders.


    With so many people persuading, they are not afraid of Sun Quan.


    The public is not to blame.


    Under such circumstances, they believe Sun Quan will not be punished easily.


    Sun Quan looked at the officials who tried to persuade them to surrender with a sneer in his heart. On weekdays, the state of Wu was responsible for the food and drink of these people.


    As the saying goes, the Lord disgraces the minister to die!


    Now Sun Quan was forced by Chu Guowei, and these people encouraged him to surrender.


    A bunch of jerks.


    Sun Quan scolded secretly in his heart, and his face was even more livid.


    However, Sun Quan did not speak. Instead, he looked at Zhang Zhao and said, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"


    Zhang Zhao is the head of the civil service. It depends on what Zhang Zhao says.


    When asked, Zhang Zhao looked solemn and said, "Your Majesty, it''s too early to talk about surrender. You can''t surrender until the last step. "


    "I think surrender should be considered."


    "But it''s not the worst yet."


    "Although the governor of Dadu was defeated, Lu Xun still resisted the Cao army, and we could organize the army to resist the Chu army."


    What Zhang Zhao said is not urgent.


    Say, resist first, and surrender if you can''t resist.


    But in Sun Quan''s ears, Sun Quan felt that Zhang Zhao was loyal.


    Because Zhang Zhao has to resist.


    Zhang Zhao also mentioned surrender, but what Zhang Zhao said was that he couldn''t stop it at last and had to surrender again.


    Sun Quan nodded slightly, looked at Gu Yong and said, "Gu Yong, what do you think?"


    Gu Yong said: "I agree with Zhang Gong''s proposal."


    Gu Yong knew that the state of Wu was in the most dangerous situation. At this time, Sun Quan would not be persuaded to surrender.


    Sun Quan nodded and asked Lu Ji and others, who were on Zhang Zhao''s side and agreed with Zhang Zhao''s proposal.


    After hearing this, Sun Quan looked at the man who had just come out to persuade him to surrender with cold eyes.


    "Somebody


    Sun Quan orders coldly.


    Suddenly, soldiers rushed in and stood in the hall.


    Sun Quan pointed to the people standing in the hall and ordered: "drag these people out and chop them down. A group of people who betray the Lord should be killed!"As soon as this remark came out, a group of officials were immediately shocked.


    One by one, we are constantly begging for mercy, and we have more regrets in our hearts. Regrets should not rush out.


    Zhang Zhao looked in his eyes and stopped the soldiers from detaining them. He said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."


    Sun Quan said, "will Duke Zhang intercede for them?"


    Zhang Zhao said: "although they persuade the king to surrender, their hearts are to blame. But in the imperial court, they were not. Once they are killed, there will be turbulence in Wu''s internal affairs. The old minister suggested that we give them a chance to commit crimes. "


    When officials heard the speech, they all gave Zhang Zhao a grateful look.


    Seeing this, Lu Ji tells Zhang Zhao that he is old and hot.


    With these words, Zhang Zhao has a higher prestige in the hearts of officials.


    Sun Quan''s face also showed a pondering look. He also knew that killing a group of officials would lead to more violent turbulence in Wu''s unstable internal affairs.


    It''s just that Sun Quan''s anger surged up at the thought of these people making him surrender.


    Zhang Zhao was glad to see Sun Quan wavering.


    Zhang Zhao continued: "king, if the court is turbulent again and Liu Xiu is not needed to attack, the state of Wu will be in danger."


    Sun Quan sighed and waved.


    When the soldiers saw this, they all stepped down.


    All the officials in the hall were relieved.


    Sun Quan said in a deep voice: "you bastards who eat inside and outside can be exempted from death, but I have to punish you. During this period of time, you will stay in the palace to handle government affairs. As soon as you use them, you will be provided by yourself. Your family, I will make arrangements. "


    The faces of the officials changed greatly after hearing the speech.


    They are restrained, their families are controlled, and they are completely restricted.


    Zhang Zhao said with a smile, "Your Majesty is kind."


    Only when he winked at the officials did the officials in the court thank them one after another.


    Sun Quan nodded slightly, looked at Xu Sheng and said, "Xu Sheng, how many soldiers are there under your command?"


    Xu Sheng said: "report back to the king, the end of the general''s forces are less than 3000."


    In fact, many of these 3000 soldiers were collected by him along the way. After he was defeated by the Chu army, he was killed by Tai Shici and suffered heavy losses. It is lucky that he can bring back 3000 soldiers now.


    Sun Quan said: "you immediately reorganize the army, and then recruit soldiers. Then you lead the troops to fight against Tarshis. "


    "Here it is


    Xu Sheng should hold his fist, but he has no bottom in his heart.


    Can we still resist Tarshis now? But Xu Sheng has no choice.

 Chapter 758

    Guangling county.


    When Sima Yi and Yu Jin arrived, they quickly reorganized the army.


    Shortly after their arrival, news came from Yecheng that Cao Cao had ordered them to attack the state of Wu.


    In the tent.


    Cao Pi and Sima Yi took their seats.


    Cao Pi looked solemn and said, "Sir, Zhang Liao and Xun you are in the hands of Liu Xiu. His father sent Yang Xiu to Qichun County, intending to exchange for two people. "


    "My father''s plan is good."


    "But Liu Xiu''s conditions were very harsh. He asked us to attack the state of Wu with all our strength, and then we would consider giving them back after destroying Wu."


    "This is to drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf."


    "With the help of our strength, we will annex Wu."


    "When the state of Wu was destroyed, Xun you and Zhang Liao became Liu Xiu''s powerful tools to coerce his father."


    Cao Pi said anxiously, "if we destroy Wu now, we will only help Liu Xiu, which will do us all harm but no benefit. In my opinion, it''s better to unite with the state of Wu temporarily and force Liu Xiu to hand over Xun you and Zhang Liao. "


    Sima Yi lowered her eyebrows and eyes without opening her mouth.


    Cao Pi said: "Sir, you have something to say."


    Sima Yi suddenly said, "my son, is this the result of your careful consideration?"


    On hearing this, Cao Pi hesitated.


    According to Sima Yi, there seems to be some implication.


    Cao Pi said, "please let me know."


    Sima Yi patted the fold on his body and said slowly, "Shizi''s idea is opposite to that of the Wei king


    Cao Pi said, "isn''t it the truth that I''m thinking about?"


    Sima Yi said, "do you follow the thinking of the Wei king?"


    Cao Pi was a little impatient and said, "don''t you just tell me, sir?"


    Sima Yi didn''t care about Cao Pi''s mood at all, and said in a very flat tone: "I can''t replace Shizi in everything."


    When Cao Pi heard the speech, he calmed down.


    He understood that Sima Yi was talking about him, not intentionally.


    Cao Pi thought in the direction of Cao Cao and carefully analyzed why Cao Cao wanted to attack Wu.


    A moment later, Cao Pi said, "my father is thinking about whether it is because even if we unite with Wu, we will be intimidated by Liu Xiu. It is better to attack the state of Wu. After the destruction of the state of Wu, we will consider the subsequent arrangements. "


    Sima Yi said, "Shizi''s analysis is half right."


    Cao Pi said, "what else is the reason?"


    Sima Yi sighed: "Shizi, you don''t know the king of Wei."


    Cao Pi said, "please teach me."


    Sima Yi''s expression is still very calm, light explanation: "in front of the great cause of the state of Wei, the king of Wei will not change the direction of the state of Wei for Xun you and Zhang Liao."


    "It''s true that the king of Wei valued Xun you and Zhang Liao, but there was always a choice."


    "The choice of the king of Wei is the overall situation of the state of Wei."


    "After the destruction of the state of Wu, the power of the king of Wei in Bingzhou, Jizhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou and Youzhou was enough to fight against Liu Xiu. He even suppressed Liu Xiu. "


    "It is impossible to redeem Zhang Liao and Xun you at the expense of Yuzhou and other places."


    "To some extent, the king of Wei has given up Xunyou and zhangliao."


    Sima Yi said: "Liu Xiu, like the king of Wei, cherishes talents and loves them more. Liu Xiu won''t kill Zhang Liao and Xun you. As long as the king of Wei defeats Liu Xiu, he can recapture them. "


    Cao Pi said, "what if you fail?"


    Sima Yi said coldly: "failed, what''s the chance of Wei''s existence? That step is no longer considered by the king of Wei. "


    "Hiss!"


    When Cao Pi heard the speech, he took a breath.


    Cao Wei and Liu Chu fight a decisive battle. If Cao Wei fails, Liu Xiuhui will go north in one go.


    At that time, the state of Wei will be swept away.


    Sima Yi''s eyes narrowed into a line and said: "the king of Wei had a serious illness, and Hua Tuo cured the headache. But in the heart of the king of Wei, the idea of unifying the world became stronger and stronger. He is old and determined to fight Liu Xiu. "


    Cao Pi also knew Cao Cao''s obsession with ruling the world. Cao Cao''s determination to unify the world has always existed.


    Because of this, Cao Cao attacked Wu.


    Sima Yi said, "after so much, do you understand?"


    Cao Pi sighed: "I understand."


    Taking a deep breath, Cao Pi continued: "Sir, we are going to attack the state of Wu. How can we attack it? Lu Xun is in charge of Danyang county and sticks to the natural moat. Our water army is on the Yangtze River and is not the opponent of Wu at all. If you want to force your way south, you will have great difficulties. "


    Sima chuckled twice and shook his head.


    Seeing this, Cao Pi was stunned.


    What do you mean by shaking your head?


    Cao Pi was very dependent on and respected Sima Yi, but Sima Yi always liked to play tricks, which was very bad.


    Cao Pi said, "what do you mean, sir? Don''t you send troops? "


    Sima Yi said, "my son is wise."Cao Pi looked up at Sima Yi and was very surprised. But this time, instead of asking, he began to think.


    He did not send troops, but Cao Cao ordered them to do so.


    The trade-off is not easy.


    Cao Pi thought about it for a while, and said, "what you mean is to pretend to send troops, and then sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."


    Sima Yi pondered for a moment, then said: "the son of the world missed the most important point, pretended to send troops in front, sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and then, finally, the snipe and the clam fought for the benefit."


    "We just got the news that Zhou Yu was defeated by Tai Shici, and the elite of the state of Chu had directly attacked Wu County."


    "It can be predicted that the destruction of the state of Chu and the state of Wu is just around the corner."


    "The state of Chu is so powerful, why should we fight with it? It''s not necessary. "


    "What we need to do now lies in the subsequent layout."


    "To pretend to cross the river and attack Lu Xun needs to be arranged; to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight also needs to be carried out."


    "But we need to seize the opportunity."


    "Once it''s the critical moment to destroy Wu, we will send troops to attack Liu Xiu."


    Sima Yi said: "only in this way can we take the initiative in the subsequent battles with Liu Xiu. The gain and loss of one city and one place is not important. If we can destroy the living power of Chu, even if we don''t get one city and one place of Wu, it''s worth it. "


    When Cao Pi heard the speech, he was greatly admired.


    Xun you''s and Sima Yi''s strategies are quite different.


    Sima Yi''s tactics tend to be defensive, counterattack in defense, not to mobile phone.


    Once such a strategy is launched, it will be a fatal blow.


    Cao Pi said with emotion: "if Xun''s military adviser and his teacher were generally cautious, they would not be defeated."


    Sima Yi shook his head, denied Cao Pi''s words, and said: "Shizi, if I were in Xun''s position, I would fall into the trap. Different situations, different strategies. Xun Gongda and Zhang Wenyuan met the situation at that time. As long as they crossed the Yangtze River, they would surely fall into the trap. There was no way to do this. "


    Cao Pi nodded slightly.


    Although Sima Yi gave Xun you an excuse, Cao Pi agreed with him and thought that Sima Yi was better.


    Cao Pi said, "I understand what you mean."


    Sima Yi said, "I wish I knew."


    After a pause, Sima Yi said, "the next thing is for Shizi to discuss with Yu Jin. Yu Jin is good at defending. Now, under the command of the king, Yu Jin is also an important general. Shizi should communicate more with Yu Jin. "


    Cao Pi said, "I understand what you said."


    This time he came to the front line, not only to make contributions, but also to make good relations with military generals.


    With the support of military generals, Cao Pi''s position will be more stable.


    Cao Pi left the camp and went to find Yu Jin.


    Sima Yi sat in the tent, picked up another bamboo slip and continued to read.


    Sima Yi was not worried about the war between Chu and Wei. In Sima Yi''s view, it was easy for Chu to attack Wu, because Chu soldiers were originally from the south.


    But Chu wanted to attack Wei and fight in the north, but it was different.

 Chapter 759

    The South Bank of the Yangtze River.


    The Wu army was stationed on a hillside outside.


    Dressed in white, Lu Xun stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the direction of the north bank, looking solemn.


    Cao Jun was stationed on the north bank.


    Lu Xun was stationed on the south bank.


    During the confrontation between the two armies, Lu Xun would often climb mountains and look at the movements on the other side to see if the camp of the Wei army had changed. He looked carefully and saw that the layout of the camp on the other side of the Yangtze River had not changed, so he turned and left.


    As we walked down the mountain, my parents came with us.


    Pro with respectful salute to Lu Xun, low voice: "your honor, there is news at home."


    "Go


    Lu Xun ordered him to go to the camp with his relatives.


    Back in the camp, Lu Xun looked solemn and said, "what''s the matter?"


    He took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Xun.


    This close follower is a member of the royal guards.


    On the one hand, responsible for the contact between Lu Xun and the royal guards to ensure the smooth flow of information.


    On the other hand, protect Lu Xun''s safety.


    Lu Xun opened the envelope and read it carefully.


    After reading it carefully, Lu Xun burned the letter, and then fell into meditation.


    Among the letters is a letter from Fazheng.


    Now taishici has conquered Yuzhang county and is approaching Wu County. Fazheng hopes that Lu Xun can operate and lead his troops back to Wu County. When taishici''s troops came to the city, Lu Xun was able to deal with both internal and external affairs and break the state of Wu in one go.


    Lu Xun thought.


    It''s really difficult to lead the troops back to Wu County.


    Cao Jun was stationed on the North Bank of the Yangtze River and might go south to Danyang county at any time. This was the place where the constraint was.


    Lu Xun couldn''t get away with Cao Jun.


    After thinking for a long time, Lu Xun began to write a letter.


    After a letter was written, Lu Xun gave it to Qin Sui and said, "give it to Uncle personally and let him consult with Zhang Zhao."


    "Here it is


    With the order, he turned and left.


    Lu Xun was stationed on the South Bank of the Yangtze River, so he had to rely on Zhang Zhao to run this business.


    The news soon returned to Wu County.


    After receiving the news, Lu Ji saw the contents of the letter and went directly to Zhang Zhao''s residence.


    Entering Zhang''s house, Lu Ji meets Zhang Zhao in his study.


    Lu Ji said: "Mr. Zhang, there is a letter from Bo Yan. Chu hoped that Boyan would lead his troops back to Wu County. Once taishici leads the army to arrive, let Boyan cooperate with others from inside and break up the defense of Wu County at one stroke. "


    Zhang Zhao''s wrinkled face is full of wrinkles.


    "Gongji, it''s not easy for this thing to work," he said after thinking about it


    Lu Ji said: "Boyan can''t say it works well, but no matter how difficult it is, it has to work. Otherwise, we will not be able to complete the arrangements of the state of Chu, which will also have an impact on our future. "


    Zhang Zhao nodded slightly and thought carefully.


    All of a sudden, Zhang Zhao asked, "how is Xu Sheng on the front line?"


    When Xu Sheng reorganized his army, he led his troops to stop Tai Shici.


    So far, it has been some time.


    Lu Ji shook his head and said, "there is no news yet. For King Wu, no news is the best news. As long as it can resist the attack of Chu and prevent the state of Wei from going south, everything is worth it. "


    Zhang Zhao also nodded.


    At present, the state of Wu is extremely bad.


    People''s minds are slack.


    The people were terrified.


    The ministers in the court are looking for their own way out.


    During this period, many courtiers wanted to meet Zhang Zhao, but Zhang Zhao refused.


    Because Zhang Zhao can understand the intention of the officials in the DPRK without thinking about it.


    It''s all about planning ahead.


    Zhang Zhao thought about the little half of Zhu Xiang''s time. He took a long breath and said, "Gongji, we arrange it like this. It is necessary to slander Boyan first and increase his position in the king''s heart. "


    At present, Zhang Zhao said the strategy of slandering Lu Xun.


    Lu Ji''s eyes brightened when he heard this and said: "Zhang Gong''s words are reasonable. After such a practice, the king of Wu will certainly attach more importance to Bo Yan. But although it aggravates Bo Yan''s identity, what''s the use? Our ultimate goal is to get Boyan back to defend. "


    Zhang Zhao said: "the second step is to wait for Xu Sheng''s defeat."


    "Most governor Zhou Yu was defeated, let alone Xu Sheng."


    "In front of the soldiers of the state of Chu, Xu Sheng''s reconstituted soldiers could not be blocked."


    "Once the Chu army came and Wu was in a hurry, the king would think of Lu Xun."


    Zhang Zhao''s eyes were bright, and he said: "transfer Lu Xun back, and then arrange someone to guard the river. At least let the army of Wei, Nan and Chu take the next step


    Lu Ji nodded after listening.


    Ginger is still old and spicy!


    Zhang Zhao''s plan is indeed feasible.Lu Ji said, "Mr. Zhang, I''m going to make arrangements and get the news out as soon as possible."


    Zhang Zhao nodded.


    Lu Ji turns around and leaves. When he returns to Lu''s home, Lu Ji begins to operate.


    In just one day, there was an undercurrent surging in the city of Wu County. It was reported that Lu Xun was stationed on the South Bank of the Yangtze River and had intended to join Cao Cao.


    Either Lu Xun deliberately avoided fighting, or Lu Xun wanted to surrender to Cao Jun


    All in all, the news is rampant.


    This piece of news soon conveyed to Sun Quan''s palace.


    Sun Quan got the news. In his heart, he thought that Lu Xun could not surrender to Cao Cao. After all, Lu Xun captured Zhang Liao and Xun you.


    But the state of Wu was in trouble, especially after the defeat of Zhou Yu.


    If Lu Xun finds a way out, it''s reasonable.


    Therefore, Sun Quan has some doubts.


    Sun quandang even sent someone to inform Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Lu Ji, Zhu Zhi and others to discuss the matter in the palace.


    After several people arrived, Sun Quan said straight to the point, "what do you think of the rumors about Lu Xun in the city?"


    Lu Ji directly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this is unjust."


    As a member of the Lu family, Lu Ji is firmly against it.


    Lu Ji said: "how can Bo Yan surrender to Cao''s army when he is well known by the king. King, this is absolutely Cao Jun''s deliberate rumor that he wants the king to recall Boyan. Once the king really recalled Boyan, Cao Jun would not stop him from going south. "


    Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with you. Lu Xun''s resistance to Cao''s army prevents Cao''s army from going south. This is the best evidence. "


    Other officials also spoke one after another.


    After hearing this, Sun Quan also looked in agreement.


    He thought that Lu Xun could not yield to Cao Cao, but he was suspicious, so he called Zhang Zhao and others.


    Now that people agree, they feel more at ease.


    Sun Quan flicked his sleeves, looked at Zhang Zhao and said, "Duke Zhang, you should deal with the rumors as soon as possible. What should be killed, what should be asked. "


    "Here it is


    Zhang Zhao bowed his hand to answer the question.


    At this time, Zhang Zhao''s heart was completely down-to-earth.


    After this incident, Lu Xun had more weight in Sun Quan''s mind.


    Sun Quan knew that Lu Xun was very important, and he was the most important general of Wu. As long as the state of Wu was in crisis, Sun Quan would bet on Lu Xun and let him take charge of the war.


    Once Lu Xun returned to Wu County, he would be able to cope with both internal and external affairs.


    This is Zhang Zhao''s plan.

 Chapter 760

    Wanling county.


    This is the seat of Danyang county.


    Xu Sheng mobilized soldiers from Wu County, prepared for the war, and finally stationed in Wanling county. His intention was to block the Chu army in the front line of Wanling.


    Danyang County borders Yuzhang county.


    After taishici conquered Yuzhang County, he entered Danyang county.


    Now it is not far from Wanling county.


    Xu Sheng is in Wanling County, which is under great pressure.


    If you think about it, even Zhou Yu, the governor of the state of Wu, could not resist the attack of the Chu army, let alone him?


    Xu Sheng is not confident in his heart.


    He really does not have the confidence, because today''s Wu state, to the army without the army, to the people without the heart, to combat without combat effectiveness, he does not know how to resist.


    But he knew that even if he died, he would resist.


    What he has is a heart of death, because he is Sun Quan''s general.


    On the tower of Wan county.


    Xu Sheng is dealing with government affairs in his room.


    He deals with the allocation of grain, bows and arrows.


    With the coming of the great war, Xu Sheng had to prepare all the food, bows and arrows for a rainy day.


    "Dong! Dong


    There was a knock at the door of the room.


    A middle-aged scholar entered.


    His name was Yu fan. He was a minister of Wu state. He was ordered by Sun Quan to help Xu Sheng resist taishici.


    Yu Fan entered the room with a worried look on his face: "General Xu, something''s wrong. The Chu army has entered the territory of Wanling County, and now it is coming to kill Wanling county. "


    In a word, Yu Fan belongs to the capitulating faction.


    Because of Zhang Zhao''s persuasion, Yu Fan was able to save his life.


    Today, there are not many people in Sun Quan''s court who can use it, so Yu fan is allowed to follow Xu Sheng.


    When Xu Sheng heard Zhang Zhao''s words, he stood up and said, "finally


    Yu turned his face bitterly and said, "General Xu, with the present strength, can you resist it?"


    In Yu Fan''s mind, the state of Wu will be defeated.


    So Yu fan is not optimistic about this battle.


    Xu Sheng said: "no matter how we win or lose, we have to fight this battle. Otherwise, how can we be worthy of the respect of the king and the countless soldiers who died? "


    After hearing this, Yu Fan complained in his heart.


    His eyes dribbled and he thought about how to deal with it.


    Immediately, Yu Fan said, "General Xu, have you not considered anything else?"


    Xu Sheng looked at Yu fan, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "what do you think?"


    Yu Fan said: "it is to consider other ways of retreat."


    At this time, Yu Fan carefully tested Xu Sheng.


    If Li Xusheng is furious, Yu fan will stop talking. If Xu Sheng has an intention, Yu fan will give his follow-up thoughts.


    Xu Sheng said, "you should tell me, what''s the way out."


    Yu Fan shook his head and said, "I dare not say it."


    "But it doesn''t hurt to say so," Xu said


    At this time, Xu Sheng, with a faint smile, a soft expression, and no anger.


    Yu Fan examined it, gritted his teeth and said: "General Xu is young. If he died in battle, it would be a pity. Does general Xu not consider submitting to the king of Chu? "


    Xu Sheng said, "have you been obedient to the king of Chu?"


    Yu Fan shook his head and said, "not for the time being."


    "You are going to let Ben join you in dedicating Wanling county to taishici for promotion," Xu said


    At the moment, Xu Sheng''s face is still calm.


    Yu Fan said with a smile: "General Xu, he who knows current affairs is a hero."


    Xu Sheng said: "it seems that you are determined to follow Liu Xiu."


    At this point, Xu Sheng''s face suddenly changed, his eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice, "I will be promoted by the king, and I will have a chance to show my talent only when I am respected by the king."


    "The king is here, and the state of Wu is there."


    "In Wu Guoben, make do with it."


    "He was born in the state of Wu, but death is the ghost of the state of Wu."


    "Even if you''re killed, it''s a proper death."


    Xu Sheng held his head high and his eyes were firm. He said in a loud voice: "even if the state of Wu is at a disadvantage, even if the state of Wu is defeated, even if the general knows that there is no chance of winning this battle, even if there are thousands of reasons to be defeated..."


    "However, this will fight to the death."


    "I was going to let the people of the state of Chu know that the son Lang of the state of Wu would not retreat."


    "The sons of Wu are not cowards."


    Xu Sheng''s impassioned words expressed his inner thoughts.


    He talked, but the killing intention in his eyes became more and more intense. He stared at Yu Fan and said, "it''s like you are such a soft bone. You can eat and use the king''s, and you''ve got countless benefits, but you''re the grass on the wall."


    "If you don''t die, you won''t be at ease."


    "If you don''t die, how can the soldiers fight the enemy with all their strength?""If you don''t die, how can you be worthy of the countless soldiers who died on the battlefield?"


    Xu Sheng pressed his hand on the sword and pulled it out with a clang.


    Seeing this, Yu Fan turned around and ran out. As he ran, he said in a loud voice: "Xu Sheng, you crazy man, what are you going to do? Don''t kill me, don''t kill me. "


    He never thought it would be like this.


    If he knew that Xu Sheng would turn his back on others, he would never open his mouth to persuade them.


    Now they''re being pursued.


    "Kick! Kick


    Xu Sheng''s eyes are full of killing intention. He sprints two steps in a row and pokes out his sword.


    "Puchi!"


    The sharp point of the Sword Pierced Yu Fan''s chest.


    A sword goes through the chest.


    The red blood from the tip of the sword drop by drop, dyed the ground of the city floor red.


    One by one, the soldiers looked at each other with wide eyes.


    Xu Sheng killed Yu fan. What''s the situation?


    At the moment, Yu Fan felt the pain of his heart. He roared: "Xu Sheng, you have to die..."


    As soon as the words fell, Yu Fan''s eyes began to darken.


    In the brain consciousness, gradually becomes fuzzy.


    Xu Sheng draws out his sword and Yu fan falls to the ground. Looking at the soldiers on the upper floor of the city, he said in a loud voice: "King Wu trusted us and asked us to guard the city, but Yu Fan actually collaborated with the enemy to betray his country and intended to surrender to the state of Chu. Today, Ben will kill Yu fan. "


    As soon as the words came out, the soldiers looked solemn.


    As a matter of fact, the soldiers guarding the city are just as worried.


    What can they do if they can''t resist Chu? No one wants to die. But Xu Sheng was determined to resist, and the soldiers could not object.


    Xu Sheng looked around and said, "come on, hang up Yu Fan for three days!"


    "Here it is


    The soldiers came forward and soon hung Yu Fan''s body on the tower.


    This scene shocked countless people.


    Xu Sheng uses Yu Fan''s death to warn those who have two hearts that if they want to rebel, they will kill them.


    After dealing with Yu fan, Xu Sheng goes back to his room.


    He read a few volumes of official documents, but his heart was a little restless. He couldn''t calm down. Simply get up and leave the room, in the city upstairs inspection.


    Time went by.


    Two days passed in a hurry.


    The news of the front line kept coming back, and the Chu army was getting closer and closer to Wanling county.


    On this day, in the morning.


    It''s a bit gloomy and cool.


    Xu Sheng, dressed in armor and sword, stood on the tower. He stared out of the city and waited quietly. When he saw the black army outside the city, his nerves suddenly tensed.


    The army of Chu finally came.

 Chapter 761

    "Dong! Dong


    All of a sudden, the mighty sound of war drums, like thunder, sounded in the distance.


    The sound of the drum is like rain beating plantain, which is very urgent.


    More and more urgent drum, let the city upstairs defense of Wu soldiers more nervous.


    The soldiers clenched their weapons, their faces were taut, their eyes were uneasy, but they were also well prepared. They''re afraid, but they''re holding on.


    Xu Sheng stood on the tower, his eyes burning.


    Looking at the approaching Chu army, Xu Sheng''s breathing becomes more and more urgent.


    Finally!


    After seeing it clearly, Xu Sheng ordered the soldiers on the upper floor of the city to be on guard and prepare all the equipment for guarding the city.


    Since he knew that Tai Shici was coming, Xu Sheng was preparing.


    He placed all the weapons of defense, such as wooden poles, rolling stones, kerosene and catapults, on the city tower and let the soldiers use them. As long as the Chu army launched an attack, Xu Sheng could immediately organize a counterattack.


    The distance is getting closer.


    When the Chu army was less than 100 steps away from the city, it stopped advancing and formed an array.


    The Chu army was arrayed with soldiers and strict military laws.


    The drums of war are as loud as thunder.


    The soldiers roared and roared.


    The whole Wanling county is shrouded in murderous atmosphere.


    Taishici rode his horse in front of the battle. He was wearing a helmet and armor, holding a sword. He was majestic. Staring at the county seat of Wanling County, he pointed his sword to the front and ordered: "crossbow hand, prepare!"


    Sound like a bell, make the flag shake.


    Only the soldiers in the array moved their positions, and the array changed.


    A group of bowmen came forward quickly. These bows were unique weapons of Chu state, which were developed by craftsmen led by Huang Yueying.


    Both range and lethality are far superior to ordinary crossbows.


    One by one, the soldiers took aim at Wanling county.


    "Shoot the arrow!"


    Give me an order.


    In a flash, nearly a thousand crossbows broke out of the air.


    "Whew! Whew


    The air was filled with the sound of crossbows and arrows.


    The arrows pierced the air, and the dense arrows blocked the sky and the sun, and went straight to the city tower.


    "Yes! Yes


    Some of them fell to the ground, but many of them went through the tower and shot into the city. In this round of crossbows and arrows, some garrisons died under the crossbows and arrows.


    A round of crossbows and arrows passed, and a second round of crossbows and arrows.


    Several rounds of crossbows swept through the air, and nearly ten thousand of them landed on the city floor.


    "Look, there''s a note on the crossbow."


    All of a sudden, the soldiers on the tower yelled.


    The news immediately spread.


    One soldier after another yelled, and countless soldiers took down the note.


    There are only eight words on the note.


    Those who fall will not be killed!


    The official position remains unchanged!


    These eight words are not only to ensure the lives of soldiers, but also to ensure the official posts of officers and soldiers stationed in Wu state, and to win over the resistance officers and soldiers.


    Eight words arouse the hearts of countless people.


    The hearts of the soldiers are floating.


    Each heart has its own thoughts.


    The elite of the state of Chu drove straight in, and even the governor Zhou Yu couldn''t stop them. What did they stop?


    The morale of the soldiers stationed in the garrison building was greatly affected.


    Seeing this scene, Xu Sheng secretly scolded Tai Shici for his cunning. He immediately dispatched soldiers and collected all the crossbows and notes.


    "If you talk about it again, kill it!"


    Xu Sheng gave an order, and the soldiers who were guarding the city shivered.


    For a while, no one will talk about it.


    But the news of Chu army''s surrender spread, fermenting in the hearts of the soldiers guarding the city.


    Looking out of the city, Xu Sheng was alert.


    Taishici only sent bowmen, didn''t he attack?


    At this moment, Xu Sheng''s heart is still very nervous. He is ready to fight to the death, but after all, he is the first time to preside over such a big battle.


    After taishici fired the crossbow, he ordered the archer to shoot again.


    This time, the arrow was also tied with a note.


    But the content of the note has changed. It is no longer the previous surrender, but the attack time.


    "Attack in the afternoon!"


    Six words, that''s all.


    Although Xu Sheng suppressed the news on the note, it soon spread.


    Xu Sheng''s face became more dignified.


    It seems that taishici arranged this time to bewitch the morale of the army, but there is another purpose, that is, to make an appointment with the people in the city. If there are surrenders in the city, they will follow this time.


    Xu Sheng has his own judgment, but it is difficult to deal with it.


    Facing his attack, he could not even resist, let alone divide his forces.


    Xu Sheng dispatched a small group of soldiers to the street leading to the gate of the city to monitor the movement in the city.After all this, Xu Sheng was waiting on the top of the city.


    Time went by, and soon it was noon.


    At lunch time, the Chu army outside the city buried the pot to cook rice, cooked sheep and slaughtered cattle, which was a lively scene.


    From the tower, it seems that the situation outside the city is in a mess.


    After careful observation, Xu Sheng found that the regular army of Chu was not in chaos. If he leads the troops out to attack, the other side can intercept immediately.


    In order to be safe, Xu Sheng did not attack.


    The Chu army outside the city had lunch and was waiting outside the city.


    In the afternoon, the weather was a little gloomy, but the clouds were scattered and the sun was shining on the earth.


    The golden sun is shining inside and outside the city.


    Time is getting closer and closer to Shenshi.


    Before he arrived, the sword in his hand gradually aimed at the tower.


    The Chu army in the army is ready to go.


    "Kill


    Tess suddenly ordered.


    In a flash, the drums and horns were singing together.


    The soldiers of the state of Chu rushed forward to the county seat of Wanling county.


    As many as ten thousand soldiers were involved in the attack.


    In this attack, taishici sent out the strongest elite to win Wanling county.


    Chu soldiers charged and soon approached the city.


    Wave after wave of soldiers build the ladder, and some soldiers carry the car crash hit the gate. When the siege equipment was set up, countless Chu troops began to attack.


    When the Chu army attacked, Xu Sheng sent his soldiers to resist.


    When the two sides were at war, they were in the city, six li away from the gate.


    The major families of Wanling County gather here.


    The head of the group was a clear looking old man.


    His name is Zheng Qiu. He is over sixty years old. He is the oldest person in Nanchang family.


    Among all the great families, Zheng Qiu has the highest prestige.


    Leaning on a crutch, he said in a deep voice, "you guys, it''s Shenshi now, and the Chu army outside the city has begun to attack the city. The general situation of Wu is gone, and now is the opportunity for our family in Wanling county to make contributions. "


    "Zheng Gong''s words are reasonable, and the state of Wu should be destroyed."


    A middle-aged man echoed, his eyes shining.


    "Zheng Gong orders."


    "Please give the order of Zheng Gong."


    ¡­¡­


    When they heard the words, they began to speak.


    The state of Wu was the yellow flower of yesterday, and could not guarantee the interests of the aristocratic family, so they prepared to borrow flowers to offer Buddhas, and presented Xu Sheng as a flower to the state of Chu.


    Zheng Qiu stood up, crutches hit the ground, said: "send troops, lead the Chu army into the city."


    "Here it is


    They all answered in unison, and then went to prepare.


    Half an hour later, in Wanling County, troops from all directions converged towards the gate of the city.


    Every great family has its own details.


    The number of troops gathered together is so large that there are more than 8000.


    The children of eight thousand families run to the gate of the city.


    The news soon spread to Xu Sheng, who dispatched a team of soldiers to stop him. However, in front of the private soldiers of the aristocratic family, the soldiers who resisted did not work at all. Instead, they were easily defeated by the private soldiers of the aristocratic family.


    Xu Sheng has no way at all. His troops are all restrained.


    Under the attack of Chu army, Xu Sheng had no surplus troops.


    Because of the addition of private soldiers from the aristocratic families in the city, Xu Sheng''s last straw to defend the city was completely crushed.

 Chapter 762

    "Kill, open the gate and welcome the Chu army into the city."


    "Open the gate!"


    "Kill


    One after another, shouts of killing rang through the city.


    Wanling County family private soldiers killed the garrison in the city gate.


    The garrison broke down and the gate of the county was opened.


    The Chu soldiers outside the city rushed in, and then began to charge up the city.


    Taishici watched the situation in the distance, saw the city gate was opened, and his face was bright with a smile. The reason why he arranged the archers to shoot arrows was to shake the hearts of the people in the city.


    Now that the gate of the city was opened from the inside, he succeeded.


    Tai Shici looked up at the city.


    He knew that the victory had been won.


    Compared with Tai Shici''s ease, Xu Sheng is in trouble.


    The soldiers under his command were just recruited. Many of them were recruits. They were not strong enough to fight. They were not brave enough to fight. They were tired of coping with the attack of Chu army.


    Now that the gate is opened, the whole Wanling county can''t be guarded.


    This battle, he lost!


    "General, the aristocratic families in the city rebelled and the gate was opened. I can''t keep it


    Xu Sheng''s side, pro guard loudly remind.


    At the moment, the soldiers of the state of Chu have been killed.


    This force appeared on the city tower, and immediately completely suppressed the soldiers of the state of Wu who were guarding the city.


    When Xu Sheng saw this scene, he looked helpless and even more desperate in his eyes.


    Wanling city is broken, which means that Danyang county has fallen.


    When Danyang County fell, Wu County lost its gateway to the West and was completely exposed to the Chu army.


    Seeing that Xu Sheng didn''t move, the guard reminded him again, "general, let''s go. We''ll break through at once and leave. We''ll go back to Wu County. "


    Xu Sheng murmured: "it''s all like this. What''s the face to go back?"


    At this moment, Xu Sheng is full of sorrow.


    "Fight to the end."


    Xu Sheng clenched his sword and roared.


    Qin Weidun was shocked. They were Xu Sheng''s retinues. They had to follow Xu Sheng and couldn''t abandon him.


    But now it''s surrounded by Chu soldiers.


    Once you fight to the death, there is no life but death.


    The guard urged him to say: "general, if you have a useful body, you can fight again. Go away. "


    Xu Sheng''s eyes were firm, shaking his head and said, "don''t try to persuade me, Ben will have decided."


    Hearing the words, the guards had no choice but to obey the orders.


    Xu Sheng looked around him at the soldiers who were fighting against the Chu army. Then he looked at the Wu soldiers who had been killed in a regiment on the top of the city. He roared: "those who are fighting to death will be killed. If you are willing to surrender, surrender. "


    At the moment, Xu Sheng is determined to die.


    Only death can repay Sun Quan.


    After Xu Sheng ordered, many Wu soldiers on the tower gave up their surrender and no longer resisted.


    And there are also loyal people who fight to the death.


    These people gathered around Xu Sheng, each with a solemn and murderous face.


    They were all stained with blood after a fight.


    One by one, I don''t know how many people were killed.


    Few of these people are new recruits who are willing to fight with Xu Sheng to death. Most of them are elite soldiers trained by Zhou Yu and brought back by Xu Sheng from the battlefield.


    Xu Sheng looked at the soldiers around him, then at the surrounded Chu army and the murderous private soldiers of his family, and suddenly grinned.


    Naked man, naked man.


    It''s just death.


    He tried, fought and lived without regret.


    Xu Sheng raised his sword in his hand and said in a loud voice, "fight to the death


    "Fight to the death


    "Fight to the death


    Sporadic voice, resounding in the tower.


    More and more soldiers of the state of Wu were shouting. The voices of these soldiers who were fighting to death gathered together. They were impassioned and full of the spirit of dying rather than giving in.


    It''s cloudy in the morning.


    At this time, the weather is even more gloomy.


    "Boom!"


    The thunder exploded, and a dazzling light bloomed in the sky.


    Lightning and thunder, dark clouds gather.


    "Tick! Tick and tick


    Suddenly, drop by drop of rain came down.


    The rain is gradually heavy up, gather together, it is actually in the tower rise up hazy fog.


    Xu Sheng wiped the rain on his face and roared, "kill me!"


    As the voice fell, Xu Sheng took the lead in killing him.


    The soldiers of the state of Wu around him also launched a charge.


    Heavy rain, washing the blood of the city tower, a dark red water, flowing in the city tower. Xu Sheng had been fighting with the Chu army and the private soldiers of the aristocratic family.The news spread outside the city.


    When taishici got the news of Xu Sheng''s death battle, he sighed.


    This is really a strong general!


    His loyalty is admirable.


    Ma Su also heard the news. He smiles and says, "general, do you want to accept Xu Sheng?"


    "Is it possible?" he said


    For Xu Sheng, Tai Shici knew it.


    When he was in the state of Wu, Xu Sheng was only a small general in the army and once served under his command. Such a young general, such a brave general, Tai Shici can''t bear his death.


    Ma Su said, "the general just needs to go to the upper floor of the city and tell Xu Sheng the news of Zhou Yu''s surrender. Xu Sheng will surely surrender."


    His eyes brightened.


    Why didn''t he come up with this idea?


    When Zhou Yu was all obedient, Xu Sheng naturally lost the courage to persist.


    "Thank you, sergeant."


    "Drive!"


    Tai Shici didn''t even think about it, so he rode out.


    "Da! Dada


    The horses trampled on the wet ground, but the horses galloped forward.


    Taishici entered the city, got off his horse and went straight up to the tower.


    At this time, there were no Wu soldiers fighting on the galloping road between Chenglou and Chenglou. Those who should surrender had already surrendered. Only Xu Sheng and his party, who were still fighting to death on Chenglou, were left.


    At the moment, Xu Sheng''s body has been injured by several swords.


    There are fewer and fewer soldiers around him.


    However, none of the soldiers who followed Xu Sheng surrendered and were fighting to the death.


    Taishici rushed to the city building, carrying a big gun, and killed in the battle formation. He had a big gun, which was like a dragon. He was so brave that he smashed all the soldiers of the state of Wu.


    In a flash, Tai Shici had already killed Xu Sheng.


    Tai Shici roared: "Xu Sheng, you still don''t surrender, do you want to die?"


    When Xu Sheng saw Tai Shici, he was even more angry and roared, "traitor, you must die."


    At the moment, Xu Sheng is furious.


    It''s ironic that taishici, originally a great general of the state of Wu, actually obeyed Liu Xiu.


    Xu Sheng stormed, while Tai Shici waved his gun to resist.


    Tai Shici roared: "most of the governors have been subordinated to the state of Chu, don''t you?"


    As soon as the news came out, Xu Sheng stopped.


    At this pause, his offensive was immediately affected, and Tarshis did not pursue.


    Xu Sheng was drenched in the rain and his hair was covered.


    But at the moment, his mouth is still a little dry.


    Governor Dadu surrendered!


    Is it true that Zhou Yu surrendered?


    After a moment of silence, Xu Sheng burst out laughing. In his laughter, there was desolation, resentment and even more reluctance.


    Zhou Yu is down!


    But he didn''t fall.

 Chapter 763

    He was promoted by Sun Quan and received his gratitude.


    Now the Wu Kingdom is on the verge of failure, and death is the only way to repay it.


    Xu Sheng clenched his sword and said, "Tai Shici, the governor of Dadu is the governor of Dadu, and Xu Sheng is Xu Sheng. You, too, can surrender. You, too, can surrender. But the king cannot surrender. "


    "As a minister, the Lord humiliates him to death."


    "Only death."


    With a roar, Xu Shanda killed Tai Shici with his sword and stopped talking.


    Tai Shici felt sorry when he saw this.


    He also believed that Zhou Yu''s surrender could persuade Xu Sheng to surrender.


    Now it seems that it must have failed.


    Tai Shici didn''t fight with Xu Sheng, and he didn''t kill Xu Sheng himself. Instead, he beat Xu Sheng with two moves and withdrew.


    Soon, Xu Sheng was surrounded by the Chu army.


    When Tess saw this scene, he sighed.


    What a pity!


    It''s a pity that he is a brave general.


    In history, Xu Sheng was also valued by Sun Quan in the period of Sun Quan.


    His main contribution lies in the later period of the Three Kingdoms.


    When Liu Bei launched an army to attack Wu, Xu Sheng made great achievements with the governor Lu Xun.


    Later, Cao Xiu attacked Wu, and Xu Sheng resisted Cao Xiu with less and more.


    However, today''s Xu Sheng is not as prominent as in history, but his loyalty and bravery remain unchanged. He kept fighting, trying to kill more people.


    It''s just that there are fewer and fewer soldiers around.


    "General, I''ll go first."


    Next to Xu Sheng, a soldier counted his swords, fell to the ground, roared, and lost his breath.


    "General, kill the enemy!"


    "General, we have lived up to him."


    The soldiers yelled, but they were killed in a flash and then fell to the ground.


    More and more people are killed and injured.


    "Puchi!"


    A spear came out and ran through Xu Sheng''s left chest.


    Qi and blood flow up, Xu Sheng a blood will surge up.


    "Kill


    Xu Sheng''s mouth was bleeding, but he pulled a spear with his left hand and chopped it with his right hand. He killed a Chu soldier.


    "Ah


    Xu Sheng pulled out the spear inserted in his left chest and kicked it with a big mouth.


    When this spear came, it almost got to the point.


    "Whew!"


    The light of the sword fell, and a sword fell and fell on Xu Sheng''s shoulder.


    Blood light splashed, Xu Sheng staggered forward and rushed out.


    At the moment, Xu Sheng''s body has begun to be tired, and even more affected after the injury. As soon as he was attacked and fell behind, he was attacked by Chu soldiers everywhere.


    Xu Sheng was tired of resisting, and his face was full of ferocity.


    "Only death!"


    Xu Shanda roared and waved his sword to kill the enemy.


    When he was fighting, another spear came out and stabbed him in the back. This spear into the body of the moment, in front of the soldiers with a knife.


    As the light of the sword falls, Xu Sheng is seriously injured and has no strength to resist.


    "Plop!"


    With the spear drawn out, Xu Sheng fell to the ground.


    The soldiers around him surrounded Xu Sheng, but they didn''t attack again. They just killed the rest of the Wu soldiers who resisted.


    Xu Sheng, lying on the ground, let the rain splash down.


    The blood on his body flowed out, and in an instant he was washed away by the rain.


    The cold ground, just like Xu Sheng''s body, is gradually losing its vitality.


    In Xu Sheng''s eyes, the brilliance gradually faded.


    "King, I will go first..."


    Xu Sheng''s voice has been extremely weak.


    This sound, almost nothing.


    As soon as the words were finished, Xu Sheng''s neck was crooked, and he lost his breath completely, without a trace of anger.


    The rest of the Wu soldiers who resisted were soon killed.


    Tai Shici came to Xu Sheng''s body with a painful expression on his face. For those who died in the war are also his colleagues, and they are the old days.


    Tai Shici ordered: "restrain Xu Sheng''s body and bury it thickly!"


    "Here it is


    The soldiers came forward and took out Xu Sheng''s body.


    Taishici looked at the bloody city floor, not excited to conquer Wanling County, but lost. After arranging the generals to count the losses, collect the prisoners and clean up the battlefield, taishici returned to the army.


    When Ma Su was given the responsibility to deal with the aristocratic family in Wanling County, Tai Shici went back to the barracks.


    As the day passed, the heavy rain stopped.


    Rain washed, covered with blood on the city floor has no trace of blood.


    Everything was calm again.


    Ma Su appeased the aristocratic family in Wanling County, stabilized the situation, and then returned to the Chinese army.


    Seeing Tai Shici, Ma Su said, "general, the matter in Wanling county has been handled properly. Now, it''s time for us to start. He conquered Wu County and destroyed Wu state. "Taishici Zheng said: "OK!"


    Immediately, Tai Shici mobilized his troops to the east of Wanling county.


    This way forward, it is even more smooth.


    To the east of Wanling County, there is Guzhang County, which has a vast territory and few people. Taishici led the army to arrive, but it was not resisted at all, and he successfully captured the county seat.


    The later the war came, the more beneficial it was to Chu.


    Because the people of the state of Wu were on the verge of collapse, the officers and soldiers were not willing to resist, and the aristocratic family was eager to work.


    After leaving Guzhang County, he entered Wujun county.


    The first county that taishici led was Wucheng county.


    The army is in a mighty position to attack Wucheng county.


    By this time, the news had spread all over Wu County, and countless people knew that the Chu army was coming.


    The news reached Wu county early.


    Wu palace, in the main hall.


    Sun Quan''s face was cold, and his eyes were in a panic.


    Yu Fan wanted to surrender and was killed by Xu Sheng, who died in the end.


    The army of Chu has entered Wujun.


    A series of news made Sun Quan start to panic, because the state of Chu has entered the core position of Wu. As long as taishici killed Wu County, the state of Wu would be in complete danger.


    Sun Quan looked at the people under his command and said, "Duke, when Xu Sheng was killed, Tai Shici entered the territory of Wu. Now, how to resist it? "


    The war has continued until now, and the strength of the state of Wu has become weaker and weaker.


    Zhou Yu''s defeat resulted in heavy losses to the army.


    Xu Sheng was killed and lost a large number of troops.


    Now it gave birth to Lu Xun, who was stationed on the South Bank of Changjian, and an army.


    Zhang Zhao said, "king, I think there are two things to do now."


    Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao and said, "Mr. Zhang, please tell me."


    Zhang Zhao looked solemn and said slowly, "the first thing is to recall Lu Xun. When taishici entered Wujun, Wuxian was in danger. Let Lu Xun lead his troops back to Wu County and stick to Wu County. "


    "As for the Yangtze River, it is enough to arrange a water army to defend it."


    "If even Wu county is lost, what''s the use of guarding the Yangtze River?"


    "So, we have to recall Lu Xun."


    Zhang Zhao said the first thing, and then said, "the second thing is the retreat of the state of Wu. So far, the king should consider the worst. What should the king do if he can''t stop the Chu army? Is it a fight to the death or what? "


    Zhang Zhao put the situation on the table.


    The hardest thing is the second thing.


    This is actually for Sun Quan to decide whether to fight or to surrender. It''s time to make a decision.


    After hearing this, Sun Quan''s face was very tangled.

 Chapter 764

    Sun Quan thought for a moment, then looked at Zhang Zhao and said, "the recall of Lu Xun can be carried out immediately."


    "Here it is


    Zhang Zhaoying went down.


    Zhang Zhao at the moment, a heart completely down.


    As long as Lu Xun is recalled, the goal will be achieved, and Lu Xun and Tai Shici can cooperate with each other.


    As for Sun Quan''s choice, Zhang Zhao doesn''t care.


    As long as taishici killed Wu County, Wu state could not exist any more.


    Lu Ji stood at the bottom, calm and happy.


    As Lu Kang''s son, Lu Ji clearly remembers the situation when Lujiang County was attacked in the past. Lu Kang''s death was caused by sun CE and the sun family.


    Now, the sun family is going to fall.


    Lu Ji''s heart was filled with laughter.


    As for Gu Yong, Zhu Zhi, Zhao Zi and others, they all stood at the bottom with dignified expressions.


    The state of Wu is in danger when Tai Shici enters Wujun.


    Sun Quan looked at the people under his command and said, "what do you think of the second thing mentioned by Duke Zhang?"


    When they heard the words, they did not speak.


    In the last official discussion, countless officials came forward to ask Sun Quan to surrender.


    In the end, he angered Sun Quan and nearly killed him.


    Fortunately, Zhang Zhao persuaded him to survive.


    Now Sun Quan asks again, and each one is unwilling to speak.


    Sun Quan saw that all the people didn''t speak. He was dissatisfied. He looked at Lu Ji and said, "Lu Ji, what do you think?"


    Lu Ji stood up, bowed his hand to Sun Quan, and then said, "king, the only way to go is to fight to the death. As for whether we can resist it, that''s all in the future. "


    Saying a word is equivalent to not saying it.


    Sun Quan was very dissatisfied with Lu Ji''s reply and said, "what I asked you is the second point mentioned by Duke Zhang?"


    Lu Ji said: "king, is there a way out for Wu under the joint attack of Wei and Chu?"


    "There is no way out."


    "There are only two roads in front of the king."


    "First, fight to the end. It''s better to be a broken jade than a broken one. Even if you die, you''ll have to give a heavy blow to Tai Shici and let the army of Chu bear huge losses. "


    "Second, surrender to Liu Xiu or Cao Cao."


    "And this surrender must be made by the king himself as a hostage, otherwise the other side will not agree."


    Lu Ji said: "the king only has these two choices, there is no other choice. Most governor Zhou Yu was defeated and Xu Sheng died in the battle. There were not many troops available to the state of Wu. "


    "It''s almost impossible to turn things around."


    "It is impossible to block the state of Wei as well as the state of Chu."


    "I dare to speak falsely. Please forgive me."


    Lu Ji saluted.


    His words are quite direct.


    Sun Quan''s inquiry is to ask what other strategies are available to stabilize the situation. However, Lu Ji tore everything apart and put everything in front of Sun Quan.


    After hearing this, everyone felt heavy.


    Lu Ji''s words are in everyone''s heart.


    If the situation is over, it is impossible to resist Wei and Chu.


    After hearing this, Sun Quan''s face was stiff.


    At the moment, Sun Quan''s heart is full of desperation and despair.


    No way?


    Sun Quan asked himself.


    He did not speak, and the people below did not dare to speak.


    After a long time, Sun Quan waved and said, "let''s all step back. I''ll think about it again. After you go down, you should also carefully consider how to deal with it. "


    The crowd dispersed, and Zhang Zhao asked Sun Quan for an edict to recall Lu Xun.


    Sun Quan sat quietly in the main hall, his face cold.


    At the moment, his mind was in a mess, and he didn''t know what he was thinking.


    After a long time, Sun Quan stood up from his seat. But when he stood, he bent his back and looked pale.


    At this moment, Sun Quan no longer has the old style.


    In his body presents, is full of desolation.


    Sun Quan walked out of the hall and looked at the great Wu palace. He couldn''t raise his emotion. After standing for a long time, Sun Quan turned and left for the ancestral temple.


    Sun Quan became king after the founding of the people''s Republic of China. Sun Jian, sun CE and others were worshipped in the ancestral temple.


    After entering the ancestral temple, Sun Quan did not offer incense, so he sat down.


    He looked up at the memorial tablets of Sun Jian and sun CE, and suddenly felt extremely tired.


    I''m so tired!


    He has been in charge of the state of Wu for many years.


    "Dad, brother, if only you were here. If it were you, what would you do with it? "


    "The state of Wu is going to be destroyed, and the foundation of the three generations of the sun family is going to be destroyed."


    "Dad, I don''t know what to do."


    Sun Quan''s garrulous words showed a helpless look in his eyes.In front of the courtiers and his family, Sun Quan insisted that he was not timid.


    But now, he can''t help it.


    He didn''t know where the road was or how to go.


    Sun Quan said: "Dad, brother, do you think Liu Xiu is the enemy of my sun family?"


    "In the past, when my father passed through Jingzhou, he was ambushed by Huang Zu and died in Jingzhou."


    "My elder brother is working hard, and I finally have a decent foundation in Jiangdong."


    "The second younger brother inherited his elder brother''s will and recruited talents in Jiangdong. He saw Liu Biao grow old and Jingzhou decline day by day, while Jiangdong became more and more powerful. But Liu Xiu, Liu Biao''s son, appeared."


    "As soon as Liu Xiu appeared, he actually suppressed me and made Jiangdong have no power to fight back."


    "It''s too much of a fall!"


    "Lu Su also fell."


    "The generals under his command, those who died in battle, those who were killed."


    "By now, the state of Wu is about to collapse."


    "Is it hard for my son to go to Jingzhou and be Liu Xiu''s prisoner?"


    Sun Quan''s eyes showed a strong sense of unwillingness.


    He is the king of the state of Wu. He still has a deep hatred with the Liu family in Jingzhou. Let him give up everything, and then become Liu Xiu''s cage bird, Sun Quan would rather die than accept.


    Sun Quan was talking, but he didn''t know that a figure was standing outside the door.


    This man is Wu Guotai.


    She stood outside the door, listening to Sun Quan''s garrulous words, but also heartbroken.


    Although she lived in the harem, she also heard about the war and knew something about it. Today, when she heard the news of Xu Sheng''s death in battle, she worried about Sun Quan. She asked her attendants and learned that Sun Quan had come to the temple.


    Listening to Sun Quan''s words, she felt extremely uncomfortable.


    I''m in a panic.


    After standing for a while, Mrs. Wu left.


    Sun Quan still sat in the ancestral temple at will and continued: "father, brother, how can my son guarantee the existence of the state of Wu, and how can he leave roots for the state of Wu?"


    Sitting in the temple, Sun Quan is still talking.


    Gradually, there was no sound in the temple.


    And the expression on Sun Quan''s face gradually regained calm. He took down three sticks of incense, lit them, saluted respectfully in front of the temple, and then turned away.


    Out of the temple, Sun Quan regained the majesty of the king.


    With a calm look on his face, he strode to the palace where Wu Guotai lived.


    He had an idea for the rest.

 Chapter 765

    Sun Quan came to the harem and went to the bedroom where Wu lived.


    Entering the room, Sun Quan said, "my son has seen his mother."


    Wu Guotai''s eyes were slightly red, but in front of Sun Quan, she tried to suppress herself: "sit down!"


    "Thank you, mother."


    Sun Quan took a seat after thanking him.


    But when he looked up, he saw that Wu Guotai''s eyes were red, as if she had just cried.


    In a flash, Sun Quan''s anger rose.


    Sun Quan said in a deep voice: "mother, have you ever cried? Who''s pissed you off. "


    Wu Guotai waved her hand and said, "no one is bothering me. I just found the relics left by your father when I went through the cupboard today. It''s just that I''ve seen things and thought about people."


    In front of Sun Quan, she would not admit hearing what Sun Quan said.


    Otherwise, Sun Quan would be embarrassed.


    When Sun Quan heard Wu Guotai''s reply, he was also relieved.


    Sun Quan looked up at Wu Guotai and said, "my mother thinks whether shao''er can take on a great responsibility?"


    When this remark came out, Mrs. Wu was shocked.


    Shao''er, whose full name is Sun Shao, is the son of Sun Jian and Daqiao. He is now in his teens.


    Wu Guotai said: "Zhongmou, you are here. What does tisaoer do?"


    In Wu Guotai''s heart, there was a bad feeling.


    Sun Quan looked calm and said, "my son did not hide from his mother. Xu Sheng was defeated and died at the front line. Now the Chu army has entered the territory of Wujun. Under the joint attack of the state of Chu and the state of Wei, the state of Wu was in danger. "


    "The son called the officials to discuss, but they didn''t come to a conclusion."


    "My son even knows that many officials have hidden ideas and may even begin to collude with Liu Xiu."


    "At this point, the state of Wu is at the end of its tether, and there is no other way."


    "The father founded the foundation, the elder brother expanded it, and the state of Wu is in the hands of the son, so it must not be destroyed."


    "So my son came up with an idea."


    Sun Quan''s eyes showed a resolute look with sharp eyes.


    He is willing to give everything for Wu.


    For the sake of the state of Wu, he can make use of his family affection.


    For the sake of Wu, he can make use of his friendship.


    For the sake of Wu, he can give up everything.


    Because his existence is to make Wu prosperous. This is Sun Quan''s idea.


    Sun Quan looked up at Wu Guotai, his eyes are reluctant, more helpless, and pity. The woman in front of him lost her husband in middle age, lost her son in old age


    That''s pathetic enough.


    Now, Sun Quan has to make a choice.


    Wu Guotai''s foreboding is more and more intense.


    Ever since she heard Sun Quan''s words outside the ancestral temple, Wu Guotai was very upset.


    Now when I hear Sun Quan''s words, my heart is in a mess.


    Wu Guotai said, "Zhongmou, what are you going to do? What do you want to do? "


    Sun Quan''s face was solemn, and he said, "the only one who can alleviate this situation is the state of Wei."


    "My son decided to go to the king, and even went to the state of Wei as a hostage."


    "Shao''er is very old. He is suitable to be the new leader of the state of Wu."


    "At the beginning, my brother passed on Jiangdong to me. I''m incompetent. I can only pass on Wu to shao''er under such circumstances. "


    Sun Quan''s eyes are full of helplessness.


    In Sun Quan''s private heart, he tried to weaken sun CE and even weaken Sun Shao.


    But now, Sun Shao inherits the position of the leader of Jiangdong, which is more suitable than his son. Because his son is too young to support Jiangdong, the most suitable candidate is Sun Shao.


    Sun Quan had no choice but to survive.


    After hearing this, Mrs. Wu suddenly opened her eyes and said, "no, you are the king of Wu. How can you go to Wei as a hostage. After you went, you were completely imprisoned by the state of Wei. Moreover, when you are in the state of Wei, it is difficult for the state of Wu to stand on its own. Even if you defeat the state of Wei, the state of Wu can only be a vassal of the state of Wei. "


    Sun Quan shook his head and said, "mother, you are wrong."


    Wu Guotai said: "mother how wrong?"


    Sun Quan said: "there is another purpose for his son to choose Shaoer. After all, he is not his son."


    "Once he defeated Chu with the help of Wei, he waited for an opportunity to drive Wei back to the north of the Yangtze River."


    "As long as there is a long way to go, the state of Wu can continue to exist."


    "As for the safety of my son, let him leave it alone."


    "The state of Wu must be the state of Wu of the sun family, not the vassal of Chu or Wei."


    Sun Quan''s eyes twinkled with a determined look.


    In his mind, it''s all planned.


    With the help of the power of the state of Wei, Sun Shao defeated the state of Chu. Cao Cao''s fury is also to anger Sun Quan. It''s just death, and Sun Quan doesn''t appreciate it.


    Wu Guotai said: "Zhongmou. Why are you suffering? With Shangxiang, we can go to the state of Chu. "Sun Quan said, "do you want to be a caged bird in Chu?"


    "The son didn''t want to, and the mother forgot? Liu Biao in Jingzhou is the enemy of the sun family. "


    "It''s impossible to bend your son to the enemy."


    "So it can only be Cao Cao."


    In Sun Quan''s words, his attitude is very firm. For the future of Wu, he was willing to give up his freedom and everything.


    Wu Guotai shook her head and said, "no, let mother go. The Han dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and his mother was taken hostage. Cao Cao should agree. "


    Sun Quan said: "impossible, Cao Cao will not agree."


    Wu Guotai said: "always have a try."


    Sun Quan did not agree. He shook his head and said, "it''s impossible."


    "First, time is not allowed. If his mother went to the state of Wei, Cao Cao would not agree. This time, I''m afraid Wu Jun would not be able to keep it


    "Second, mothers can''t risk themselves."


    "Third, if my mother stays in the palace, she can mediate."


    Sun Quan looked at Wu Guotai and said, "when his son comes to see his mother, on the one hand, he tells his mother. On the other hand, he asks his mother to help his sister-in-law and Shaoer, so that Shaoer can be in power stably."


    When Mrs. Wu heard this, she couldn''t help it any more.


    Red eyes, tears.


    She choked silently, her heart was filled with grief, and her body was trembling slightly.


    Sun Jian died early and lost her husband in middle age.


    Sun CE died early, and she lost her son in old age.


    Now that Sun Quan is leaving again, how can Wu not mourn.


    Sun Quan looked at the mourning Wu Guotai and opened his mouth, but when he got to his mouth, he swallowed it. He just stood up, then went up to Wu Guotai, lifted his robe and knelt down.


    "Bang! Bang! Bang


    Three kowtows in a row sounded solidly in the room.


    "Take care, mother!"


    Sun Quan said, stood up and strode out.


    He didn''t come to ask for advice, but to entrust Wu Guotai. Now that things are properly handled, Sun Quan turns around and leaves.


    Wu Guotai looked at Sun Quan''s back and couldn''t control it any more.


    The silent choking turned into wailing.


    Sun Quan went to the gate, heard the cry in the room, stopped slightly, and left without hesitation.

 Chapter 766

    After Sun Quan left, he went back to his study to prepare the imperial edict.


    When everything was ready, Sun Quan gave the imperial edict to Wu Guotai for her to operate.


    The Chu army has entered the territory of Wu County. Sun Quan can''t wait for Daqiao to bring Sun Shao back. He has to go to Guangling county first in exchange for the support of the state of Wei. If Wei refused, Sun Quan would have no choice.


    After arranging everything, Sun Quan summoned Zhang Zhao, Lu Ji, Zhu Zhi and Gu Yong.


    These four people are important officials under Sun Quan.


    They entered the hall and saluted Sun Quan respectfully.


    As everyone knows, Sun Quan must have a decision now, which will determine the next trend of the state of Wu.


    Sun Quan looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "the state of Wu is in danger. After thinking about it, I decided to surrender to Cao Cao. The king himself went to Guangling county and asked Cao Jun to send troops to attack Chu army to ease the crisis of Wu state. "


    "Hiss!"


    All the people were astonished.


    Is Sun Quan going to the state of Wei?


    Zhang Zhao''s heart, suddenly set off waves.


    Zhang Zhao and Lu Ji both had secret contact with the state of Chu.


    If Sun Quan went to the state of Wei, the soldiers of Wei would turn to the Chu army, which would affect the layout of Chu.


    Of course, when Lu Xun came back to garrison Wu County, he was able to cooperate with Tai Shici. Especially without Sun Quan, the Chu army won Wu County easily.


    But Sun Quan went to Cao Cao''s command, which will cause a series of chain reactions.


    Zhang Zhao said, "think twice, king."


    In front of Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao would not ask Sun Quan to submit to Liu Xiu.


    He understood Sun Quan and his hostility to Chu.


    Sun Quan''s eyes were firm and said, "my king has made up his mind. I will go to Guangling county and ask the state of Wei to surrender."


    Zhang Zhao said: "when the king leaves, who will succeed him?"


    Sun Quan''s son is young, but he is only six or seven years old, which is too young.


    Sun Quan said: "I have discussed with my mother and decided to welcome Sun Shao back to the throne. At the beginning, my brother put Jiangdong foundation in my hands. Now, I put the foundation of Wu state in Sun Shao''s hands again, hoping that he can tide over the difficulties. "


    Zhang Zhao a pair of sad expression, said: "king this go, but is to become Cao Cao''s cage bird, King think twice."


    Sun Quan said, "Mr. Zhang doesn''t have to persuade any more."


    Zhang Zhao said: "the old minister obeyed the king''s decision, only from Sun Shao''s side. Did you ever inform him?"


    Sun Quan shook his head and said, "I haven''t been informed yet. It''s too late. I''m going to leave soon, so after that, I''ll arrange someone to welcome Sun Shao and his sister-in-law back. "


    When they heard the words, they all looked dignified.


    At this time, Lu Ji is the happiest in my heart.


    In the past, sun CE broke through the Lujiang River, leading to the death of Lu Kang.


    Today, Sun Quan will become a prisoner. This is a reward for reward.


    Sun Quan''s eyes swept the crowd, as if to distinguish their emotions. After a long time, he looked at Zhang Zhao and said, "Mr. Zhang is an old minister of the state of Wu. Since his elder brother''s time, he has helped him. Zhang Gong is more like a teacher to Wang. Now, following his elder brother''s example, I trust the government affairs of the state of Wu to Duke Zhang. I hope that Duke Zhang can help Sun Shao and stabilize the state of Wu. "


    Zhang Zhao folded his hands, bowed his body and said, "I will live up to the great expectations of the king."


    Sun quanlian said three good words.


    Sun Quan looked at Gu Yong, Lu Ji and Zhu Zhi, and finally returned to Zhang Zhao.


    Taking a deep breath, Sun Quan said, "please, gentlemen."


    When they heard the words, they all saluted with dignified faces.


    It''s so sad.


    Sun Quan arranged everything, went to the backyard to see his wife and children, said goodbye to his wife and children, and finally arrived at the gate of Wu Guotai''s bedroom.


    After a long pause, he did not enter.


    After Sun Quan turned and left, Wu Guotai went out of the distance, looking at Sun Quan''s back, tears streaming down her face.


    Sun Quan handed over everything and took people north to Guangling county.


    At the same time, Zhangjia.


    In the study.


    Zhang Zhao and Lu Ji sit opposite each other.


    Lu Ji said: "Mr. Zhang, no one expected that Sun Quan had the courage to go north to surrender. Once Sun Quan asked to surrender, the Wei army would go south to the Yangtze River. I''m afraid that would affect the overall situation. "


    Zhang Zhao said with a smile, "it''s just a good thing."


    "Why?" Lu Ji asked.


    Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and said, "the Wei army went south, but they didn''t know that Lu Xun was one of us."


    "There is Lu Xun, you and me."


    "Besides, there are many families."


    "Can the Wei army, who entered Wujun County, take advantage of it?"


    Zhang Zhao said: "the only strategy to adjust is the Chu army''s plan. If we don''t need to calculate the Wei army, we can go according to the original plan and still work from within


    "If we want to calculate the Wei army, we must adjust our plan.""It''s definitely not possible to combine internal and external factors as originally planned."


    "So now, send a letter to Tess immediately, asking them to make a decision. Do you follow the original plan or adjust the plan? "


    Zhang Zhao''s eyes were full of wisdom.


    If we want to maximize the benefits, we must adjust the plan.


    How to adjust specifically is what Tai Shici and Ma Su consider.


    Lu Ji said, "I''ll send a message about it when I get back."


    After a pause, Lu Ji said, "Mr. Zhang, welcome back to Sun Shao. Do you have any influence on the future situation?"


    Zhang Zhao chuckled and disdained to say, "what can a yellow mouthed child do? Political power is in our hands, military power is in Lu Xun''s hands. Although there are still a group of old ministers in the sun family, it is no longer helpful. What we have to do now is to wait for a reply from Tai Shici, which is the most important thing. "


    Lu Ji said, "I see!"


    Zhang Zhao said: "time is pressing, I will not detain you."


    "Goodbye!"


    Lu Ji stood up and left Zhang Fu.


    Back at Lu''s home, Lu Ji quickly wrote a letter, and then called the people of the royal guards to send the message to Tai Shici.


    After all this, Lu Ji was relieved.


    However, Lu Ji still has a light regret in his heart.


    Because Sun Quan went to Guangling county.


    If you can leave Sun Quan in Wujun, let Sun Quan watch the sun family fall, that is the most happy thing. As for killing Sun Quan, Lu Ji didn''t think about it, because it was too difficult.


    After all, Liu Xiu married sun Shangxiang.


    With sun Shangxiang, Liu Xiu imprisoned Sun Quan at most, not to kill him.


    Lu Ji waits for the news quietly.


    At this time, Sun Quan, who went north, met Lu Xun, who went south.


    Lu Xun was surprised to see Sun Quan and a group of soldiers heading north. He just received the order to return to Wu County, which is a planned thing.


    But how does Sun Quan go north?


    Lu Xun didn''t know the news.


    Lu Xun stood in front of Sun Quan and said, "why did you go north?"


    Sun Quan explained for a time, said: "today''s situation, only the north to surrender, there is a glimmer of vitality."


    Lu Xun said, "as soon as you enter the state of Wei, you will never have a chance to come back."


    Sun Quan said: "I have already considered it clearly. Lu Xun, the defense of Wu County, I''ll give it to you. I hope you won''t let me down. "


    Lu Xun sneered in his heart.


    Is the sun family today?


    However, Lu Xun respectfully said: "the end will live up to the great expectations of the king."


    Sun Quan said something else. He said goodbye to Lu Xun and went north. Lu Xun, with his army, rushed to Wu County.

 Chapter 767

    In October, the weather is getting colder.


    Tai Shici led the army and was approaching Wu County.


    At noon.


    The army stopped to rest.


    The auxiliary soldiers are cooking for lunch.


    In the camp, the rice is fragrant, and the soldiers are looking forward to it.


    The soldiers in the camp are very energetic.


    It''s not only a series of victories, but also the fact that the army''s speed is not fast.


    The reason why Tai Shici slowed down his speed was that he had to wait for Lu Xun to return to Wu County first.


    Only when Lu Xun entered Wu County first, could he cooperate with others from inside.


    Otherwise, his troops will arrive first, and the situation will be in some trouble.


    Tai Shici and Ma Su sit together.


    They talked and laughed, very relaxed.


    A sentry came over and said, "general, there''s news from Wu County."


    Tess took it and opened the letter.


    He looked at the letter carefully, raised his eyebrows, looked surprised, and said: "sergeant, something has changed. Sun Quan appointed Sun Shao, sun CE''s son, to succeed him. Then he led his troops north to Guangling county and personally asked the Wei army to surrender. "


    When Ma Su heard the speech, he couldn''t help exclaiming.


    Did Sun Quan go to the state of Wei?


    Sun Quan is the leader of a country, and his voluntary surrender means that he is willing to be a caged bird.


    It''s not easy to make such a decision.


    Taishici continued: "in the letter, Zhang Zhao asked us to consider whether we should adjust the plan to deal with the Wei army going south."


    Ma Su said: "Zhang Zhao''s consideration is reasonable."


    "Once Sun Quan asked to surrender, the state of Wei would not refuse. Under such circumstances, the Wei army would go south to the state of Wu. "


    "If the Wei army went straight to Wu County, we would have a chance to calculate the state of Wei."


    "Only now, it is difficult to determine the purpose of the Wei army."


    "Did the Wei army rescue Wu county or attack other places? It''s hard to predict.


    Ma Su''s eyes turned, thinking about how to adjust the plan.


    If the Wei Army wanted to go south, it was bound to fight the Chu army, which was what Ma Su had to consider. The advantage of Chu army is that Lu Xun, Zhang Zhao and others have already been interested in Chu.


    The Chu army took the initiative when there was internal cooperation.


    "In fact, I think the plan this time is very simple," he said


    Ma Su said, "Oh, what should I do?"


    Taishici said, "shut the door and beat the dog."


    Ma Su replied, "how to shut the door and beat the dog?"


    Ma Su is also curious about the plan of Tai Shici. How will Tai Shici arrange it.


    Taishici said: "no matter what the Wei army did, in short, they were certain of one thing. If you want to enter the state of Wu, you must cross the Yangtze River to the south. "


    "On the Yangtze River, the water army of Wei was vulnerable."


    "When the other side crosses the Yangtze River, it is only necessary to dispatch water troops to block it."


    "At that time, the Wei Army crossing the river will be a lone army."


    "Even though the Wei Army crossing the river is carrying grain equipment, thousands of soldiers consume grain. How long can they last?"


    "This is what Ben will think," said Tai Shici


    "We led our troops to Wuxian county to confront Lu Xun for the time being and wait for the news of the Wei army going south."


    "Once the Wei army went south, it would blockade the Yangtze River."


    "At the same time, they worked with Lu Xun to win Wu county directly."


    "The news of the collapse of Wuxian county has spread that the Wei army must be in turmoil. In addition, the Yangtze River has been cut off, and the Wei army has become an isolated army, and its morale is even lower."


    "Under such circumstances, the Wei army would be defeated."


    "This is the simplest and most direct way, and there is almost no need to adjust the plan," he said. What do the military advisers think? "


    Once the plan is adjusted, it will involve all aspects.


    On the basis of the original plan, the Wei army could be trapped by adding a link.


    That''s the plan of Tess.


    Ma Su thought for a while, nodded and said: "the general''s plan is reasonable, so do it. I immediately wrote a letter to ask the king to dispatch the water army to prepare for the operation on the Yangtze River. "


    "Good!"


    When Tai Shici saw Ma Su''s adoption, he also had a smile on his face.


    Ma Su immediately wrote a letter to explain the details clearly, and then sent someone to send it to Liu Xiu later. At the same time, Ma Su sent a letter to the royal guards to Wu county to inform Lu Ji of the next arrangement.


    After lunch, the army took an hour off.


    Then the army set out.


    When Tai Shici slowly marched to Wu County, Lu Xun returned to Wu county with the army.


    This time, Lu Xun brought back 30000 elite people.


    Lu Xun organized these 30 thousand elites in Danyang County, and he had a lot of fighting power.


    Although he took 30000 people, Lu Xun still left some soldiers on the South Bank of the Yangtze River to prevent the Wei army from attacking.Lu Xun''s return relieved the people and officials in Wu County.


    With Lu Xun, we have more confidence.


    By this time, Sun Shao and Daqiao had returned to Wu County. With the help of Zhang Zhao, Lu Ji and Gu Yong, they had succeeded to the throne and became the new leader of Wu state.


    Only the specific government affairs are managed by Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others.


    There is not much sun Shao can do.


    Moreover, he has never been in touch with government affairs and does not know how to deal with it.


    Even so, Sun Shao was generous in front of all the officials, without the slightest timidity.


    When Lu Xun returned to the city, Sun Shao held a special banquet for Lu Xun.


    When the banquet was over, they were separated.


    In the city of Wuxian, peace was restored.


    Lu family, in the study.


    Lu Ji and Lu Xun sat opposite each other, and their faces looked quite relaxed.


    With a smile on his face, Lu Ji said, "Bo Yan, you defeated the Wei army and captured Zhang Liao and Xun you, making great contributions to the king of Chu. When the state of Chu conquers the state of Wu, you will certainly be able to get the important position. "


    Lu Xun said with a smile, "my uncle is wrong. It depends on how the king of Chu decides."


    Lu Ji said: "the king of Chu has clear rewards and punishments. He won''t miss them. My Lu family is in the state of Wu and is under pressure everywhere. Now, at last, it''s time to see the light of the day. "


    Lu Xun nodded slightly.


    While they were chatting, the housekeeper came in.


    The housekeeper came to Lu Ji and said, "master, there is a letter from the West."


    Lu Ji takes over and waves the housekeeper to step down. After reading the letter, he handed it to Lu Xun.


    Lu Xun finished reading it quickly and said, "the Chu army''s arrangement is right. The Yangtze River is the key. As long as we blockade the Yangtze River, the Wei army who enters the state of Wu is a lone army. "


    "Once the news of the collapse of the state of Wu comes out, the Wei army will be in turmoil."


    "It is impossible for the Wei army, which has become a lonely army, to be blocked by the Chu army."


    "After the Wei army on the North Bank of the Yangtze River was discovered, if it wanted to rescue, it would be blocked by the water army of the state of Chu, which would cause heavy losses. If we don''t rescue, we can only watch the Wei army perish in the territory of Wu. "


    Lu Xun looked approvingly and said, "it''s quite good to add a link without changing the original plan."


    Lu Ji sighed: "I''m looking forward to the arrival of the Chu army."


    Lu Xun also looked forward to it in his eyes, and said: "soon, three days at most. The Chu army has now passed Wucheng county and will soon arrive in Wuxian county. "


    Lu Ji nodded heavily.


    They talked a lot, and then went to their own business.

 Chapter 768

    Guangling county.


    Outside Cao camp, a carriage came slowly.


    In the carriage, Sun Quan looked solemn.


    The closer he approached Cao''s camp, the more he felt an impulse to flee. But he understood that he could not go, and that he was shouldering the future of the state of Wu on his shoulders.


    Whether the state of Wu can survive depends on this time.


    "Woo!"


    Suddenly, the driver yelled.


    When the carriage stopped, the groom got out of the carriage first, took a straw stump and put it on the ground, saying, "here we are, king."


    "Good!"


    Sun Quan answered, lifted the curtain of the carriage door and walked out.


    He stepped out of the carriage and looked up at Cao''s camp.


    Cao Pi was not even at the gate of the camp.


    As soon as Sun Quan crossed the river and entered the territory of Guangling County, the news must have spread to Cao Pi. However, when Cao Pi got the news, he didn''t come to meet him. Obviously, he didn''t regard him as the king of Wu.


    However, this situation is also expected by Sun Quan.


    Sun Quan took a deep breath and depressed his mood.


    Soon, Sun Quan took a step forward, which made him a little faster.


    Come to the gate of the camp.


    The soldier wanted to go forward, but he was stopped by Sun Quan.


    Sun Quan looked at the soldiers standing guard at the gate and said, "Sun Quan of the state of Wu, please see my son."


    At the moment, Sun Quan is very low.


    He''s here to surrender, not to play.


    Since he entered the territory of Wei, he was no longer the king of Wu, but a man who came to surrender.


    At this time, I still carry a shelf, but I didn''t carry my identity clearly.


    If you don''t keep your posture straight, you will be humiliated.


    Sun Quan''s attitude makes the soldiers standing at the gate of the camp not picky.


    The soldier said, "just a moment!"


    With that, the soldier turned and went in.


    When Cao Pi got the news, he took Yu Jin and Sima Yi to meet him.


    Cao Pi met Sun Quan and said, "King Wu!"


    Sun Quan said, "my son has killed Sun Quan. Now I''m just a man who came to ask for surrender. I can''t be called King Wu."


    Cao Pi was a little surprised.


    Sun Quan''s attitude is somewhat low.


    Generally speaking, people who have been in a high position for a long time will be unaccustomed to the sudden loss of power.


    Sun Quan''s situation is more complicated.


    Not only lose power, but also become a cage bird.


    Cao Pi admired Sun Quan''s endurance and waved his hand: "King Wu, please."


    "After you, my son."


    Sun Quan waved his hand with a smile.


    Cao Pi didn''t refuse, so he entered the camp first.


    The party entered and sat down in the Chinese Army''s tent.


    Sun Quan didn''t wait for Cao Pi to speak. He said on his own initiative: "my son, I''m coming here on behalf of the state of Wu to surrender to the state of Wei. The state of Wu is willing to be affiliated to the state of Wei, and only asks the state of Wei to send troops to rescue the crisis of the state of Wu. "


    Cao Pi said: "King Wu, you come to surrender. My son is very welcome. But now, what is the situation in Wu Kingdom? "


    Both Sima Yi and Yu Jin''s eyes fell on Sun Quan.


    They know something about Jiangdong''s intelligence.


    However, intelligence has its limitations. Sima Yi and others don''t know about many things.


    Sun Quan replied, "to my son, there is only Wujun left in the state of Wu."


    "The Chu army led by Tai Shici defeated Danyang County, led the army into Wu County and went straight to Wu County."


    "In the city of Wu County, there is Lu Xun guarding now."


    "In addition, the city of Wu county is rich in grain and grass, and has sufficient equipment. In a short period of time, Wu county can hold on."


    "Just for a long time, it can''t be stopped."


    Sun Quan pleaded: "when the state of Wu is in danger, please send troops to rescue. When Wu Shizi was in power, he would save the state. When the state of Wei attacked the state of Chu, the state of Wu could do its best. "


    After listening, Cao Pi nodded slightly.


    What Sun Quan said is very interesting.


    For the state of Wei!


    For the son of the world!


    The implied meaning of Sun Quan is that the state of Wu after surrender was on Cao Pi''s side.


    Cao Pi thought for a while and said, "it''s no problem to send troops."


    As soon as Sun Quan entered Guangling County, Cao Pi, Yu Jin and Sima Yi got the news. After discussion, the three agreed that Sun Quan could be accepted.


    After all, Sun Quan also has a force under his command.


    When Sun Quan was in the state of Wei, the state of Wu was controlled by the state of Wei.


    At that time, it will take a lot of effort to make Wu disappear completely.


    When Sun Quan heard Cao Pi''s words, he turned his eyes and said, "what are the conditions for you, my sonCao Pi said with a smile: "straightforward!"


    Sun Quan said, "please show me."


    Cao Pi replied, "I need Lu Xun and the water army of Wu."


    "Once the Chu army was defeated and the crisis of Wu was relieved. Lu Xun was transferred to the state of Wei, and the water army of the state of Wu was also controlled by the state of Wei. "


    "The state of Wu still exists, but it does not have military power."


    "As long as the king of Wu agrees, my son will agree to send troops."


    Cao Pi put forward very harsh conditions.


    Just because the state of Wu did not take charge of military power, the future of the state of Wu was completely cut off.


    Sun Quan sneered at the speech.


    Before he came here, he expected that the state of Wei would have a lion to open his mouth. So, he wanted to take away the military power of the state of Wu. It''s a pity that Sun Quan had already made arrangements. Once he defeated the state of Chu, the state of Wu would tear down the bridge.


    As for his life, he died.


    On the surface, Sun Quan was a little worried. He said, "son of a generation, if the state of Wu doesn''t take charge of the army, the king of Wu is just a title."


    Cao Pi said strongly: "if the king of Wu does not agree, please go back the same way."


    Sun Quan''s expression is very dignified.


    He stared at Cao Pi, who was smiling and had no change.


    Sun Quan took a deep breath and said, "I promise my son''s condition, as long as I can keep Wu''s pulse."


    When Cao Pi heard the speech, he immediately began to laugh.


    Today''s Sun Quan has no room for bargaining.


    Cao Pi said with a smile: "King Wu, my son is a little curious. Your sister is Liu Xiu''s woman. Why didn''t King Wu join Liu Xiu? "


    Sun Quan said angrily, "The Revenge of killing my father is not common. The state of Wu will never surrender to the state of Chu."


    Cao Pi nodded.


    Cao Pi also knew about Sun Jian''s death in Jingzhou.


    Cao Pi said: "please don''t worry about the king of Wu. My son is going to send his troops to Wuxian county to fight back the Chu army."


    "Thank you, my son!"


    Sun Quan bowed to him to thank him, and he was relieved.


    His plan succeeded.


    Cao Pi called for the soldiers to go down with Sun Quan. He looked at Sima Yi and said, "Sir, I''m going to help Wu now. How can we send troops? Originally intended to give Chu a fatal blow. Now, how can we send troops? "


    Yu Jin''s eyes also fell on Sima Yi.


    Yu Jin also believed in Sima Yi''s ability.


    The expression on Sima Yi''s face was Gujing bubo, just the bright light in her eyes, flashing constantly.


    Sending troops is certain.


    It''s just about how to send troops.

 Chapter 769

    After thinking for a long time, Sima Yi looked at Cao Pi and said, "Shizi, we will do this next £¬¡­¡­ Only in this way can we ensure the success of the war. "


    After hearing this, Cao Pi frowned slightly.


    Sima Yi''s plan is too conservative.


    Cao Pi was puzzled that such an arrangement was made by just one Tai Shi CI.


    Mr. Cao Pi said, "is it worth it?"


    Sima Yi did not answer, but looked at Yu Jin and said, "what does general yu think?"


    Yu Jin said with a smile: "the strategist''s strategy is very good."


    Yu Jin agrees with Sima Yi''s plan and thinks that Sima Yi''s plan is the best.


    Liu Xiu has always been cunning.


    The generals and counsellors under Liu Xiu were also good at laying traps.


    In particular, there are precedents of Zhang Liao and Lu Xun ambushing in xunyouzhong. Yu Jin thinks it''s better to be cautious, which is not inappropriate.


    Cao Pi was surprised and said, "General Yu, do you agree?"


    Yu Jin said: "Shizi, be careful. It''s not bad."


    "All right!"


    Cao Pi responded helplessly.


    Both Sima Yi and Yu Jin agreed, and Cao Pi had no objection.


    Yu Zheng said: "Shizi, military strategist, I will dispatch soldiers immediately. It''s just this war, whether we will go south in person. "


    "No!"


    Sima Yi answered without hesitation.


    Facing the state of Chu, Rao Shi Sima Yi adopted a very safe strategy, and Sima Yi didn''t realize that it was a perfect one.


    If you go to the state of Wu personally, you will go deep into danger.


    As long as the three of them are in Guangling County, they can continue to recruit soldiers and form an army.


    Even if the army is defeated in Wu, it will not affect the overall situation.


    Once the three men go south, if they repeat the situation of Zhang Liao and Xun you again, the consequences will be very serious, which Sima Yi can''t accept.


    Yu Jin also laughed when he heard Sima Yi''s words.


    When you are forbidden to March and fight, you should also pay attention to stability.


    Now Sima Yi said that he would stay in the north bank, but Yu Jin felt at ease.


    He left the big account of the Chinese army and immediately went down to deploy his generals and arranged for the generals to lead the troops to the south.


    The news spread to Sun Quan.


    Sun Quan was relieved to learn that when the state of Wei sent troops, the state of Wu had a chance to survive. As long as the state of Wu still exists, he is willing to die in the state of Wei.


    ¡­¡­


    Wuxian, outside the city.


    The mighty Chu army arrived and camped.


    Taishici led the army and finally arrived in Wuxian county.


    However, Tsz did not launch an attack for the time being. On the first day of his arrival, Tsz took a day off.


    The next day, taishici arranged for archers to shoot the surrender note into the city.


    Lu Xun guarded and dealt with it in an orderly way.


    Lu Xun has got Ma Su''s reply and knows the next plan.


    Taishici was only trapped to surrender, instead of attacking Wuxian county. Naturally, he was waiting for the Wei army to cross the river.


    But for acting.


    After repeating the drama of surrender for several days, Tai Shici still ordered to attack Wu County.


    If there is confrontation all the time, it is easy to arouse suspicion.


    Real siege, can play the whole game, let people believe.


    It''s a fight between the two sides.


    However, the siege was a failure and failed to conquer the solid Wu County.


    Taishici camped outside the city and was waiting for the news. He now confronts Lu Xun because he has never been informed that the Wei army is going south. Only by confirming that the Wei army is going south can the plan really start.


    Outside the city, Chu army camp.


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    Tai Shici and Sima Yi took their seats.


    With a dignified look on his face, Tai Shici said, "military strategist, so far we have not heard of the rescue of the Wei army going south. I don''t know whether Sun Quan convinced the Wei army. "


    Ma Su said, "don''t worry, general. Sun Quan will persuade Cao Pi."


    "The state of Wei can''t give up the great power of Wu."


    "Especially the water army of Wu state, once the Wei army mastered it, there would be many sharp weapons."


    Moreover, Lu Xun''s capture of Zhang Liao and Xun you was also a talent. The state of Wei can''t let go of such talents. "


    Ma Su looked calm and said, "I''m sure there will be news soon."


    Ma Su was very confident in the arrangement of the war.


    He believes in winning the battle.


    Tai Shici nodded and said, "I hope I can get the news as soon as possible."


    Suddenly, the curtain of the tent door was lifted and a soldier came in. The soldier clasped his fist and said, "general, the sentinel stationed in the Yangtze River has sent back the news that the Wei army is going south. It is roughly estimated that there are 30000 infantry and thousands of cavalry in the Wei army going south. "


    "Good!"Tai Shici gave a smile and was relieved at last.


    Up to now, there has been no news of the Wei army going south, and taishici can''t sit still.


    Now that we have the news, everything is settled.


    Taishici looked at Ma Su and said, "military strategist, this battle has really started."


    Ma Su said, "general, order."


    Tai Shici nodded and said, "come on!"


    A soldier entered the camp and saluted.


    Taishici said in a deep voice: "beat drums and gather generals. The whole army will line up and face the city."


    "Here it is


    The soldiers clasped their fists.


    The soldier listened to his words, but there was something strange in his heart. Today''s taishici seems to have some changes. It''s different from the past, but he can''t tell where it is.


    The soldiers went down to inform them, and soon the battle drums rang out in the barracks.


    "Dong! Dong


    The powerful drums resound through the barracks.


    The generals and soldiers in the camp quickly arrayed themselves when they heard the news.


    All the soldiers under tisci''s command gathered together.


    After all the soldiers gathered together, taishici rode his gun to the front of the army, and said in a loud voice, "let''s go, target Wucheng."


    At the command, the Chu army marched forward.


    The news of the army''s action soon spread to Lu Xun.


    Lu Xun stood on the tower, waiting. Soon after, he saw the dark Chu army coming outside the city.


    Seeing the Chu army killed, Lu Xun laughed.


    This battle is different from the past.


    In the past, when Lu Xun looked at the other party''s position, he knew it was intentional and he didn''t have the determination to conquer Wu County. Now the situation is different, Chu army through the momentum of the sky.


    Lu Xun''s eyes fell on the position of taishici Shuai banner.


    He stares at Shuai Qi, the corner of his mouth suddenly laughs.


    Lu Xun and Tai Shici had an agreement to judge according to the situation of Shuai Qi.


    If there is only his own flag beside him, Lu Xun pretends to resist. If taishici''s side, in addition to taishici''s Shuai flag, and Liu Xiu''s Wang flag, Lu Xun had to open the gate and surrender.


    Now, Lu Xun saw Wang Qi.


    This means that the Wei army has crossed the Yangtze River to the south, and taishici will decide to conquer Wu County.


    Not long after, Tarshis ordered the siege.


    The mighty Chu army launched an attack and soon killed the people on the top of the city.


    Lu Xun pretended to resist. After resisting for less than half an hour, he ordered to surrender. The soldiers of Wu state were trapped in Wu County, and Sun Quan went to Wei state to surrender. The soldiers of Wu state had no determination to fight to death.


    Lu Xun ordered to surrender, and all the soldiers surrendered.


    The Chu army under Tai Shici entered the city smoothly and soon took control of Wu County.

 Chapter 770

    Wu County, in the city.


    Sun Shao, the new king of Wu, sat in the hall in a daze, his eyes flustered.


    Soldiers and eunuchs are running around.


    Lu Xun''s down!


    The Chu army broke the city.


    The Chu army controlled the county seat of Wu County.


    The news came back, which made the whole Wu palace in chaos. No one expected that Lu Xun would fall so soon.


    "King, let''s go. It''s too late to go any further."


    A eunuch stood in front of Sun Shao and talked out loud.


    Sun Shao shook his head and said, "where can I go? I can''t go."


    At the moment, Sun Shao began to despair. Sun Quan went to the state of Wei to surrender, in exchange for the opportunity of sending troops. Now the army of the state of Wei is heading south, and Wu county is broken. How can it resist?


    Sun Shao looked at the eunuch and said, "run for your own life!"


    He stood up and went to the harem.


    They were in the harem, and his mother was in the harem.


    The officials didn''t follow Sun Shao to the harem and ran away.


    Sun Shao came to the harem.


    He met Big Joe and said respectfully, "mother, my son is incompetent. Wu county is broken."


    Today''s Big Joe, in his early thirties, has an unparalleled charm.


    The years did not leave any trace on her face. Although Big Joe was dressed simply, he was still graceful and graceful. His whole body was full of mature charm, like a ripe apple.


    Big Joe look calm, way: "broke to break, this also can''t blame you."


    Now that it''s over, Big Joe has nothing to do.


    Soon, Mrs. Wu and the rest of the harem came.


    Among these people, there are women and children of Sun Quan.


    A lot of people are crying, they are scared.


    Wu Guotai looked around the crowd and scolded: "shut up, everyone. Who''s going to cry again? I''ll beat her to death with a stick."


    In front of Wu Guotai''s majesty, all the crying women shut up.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a flustered voice came.


    A soldier came and knelt down on one knee, reporting: "king, it''s not good, the King City has been broken. Tai Shici, the general of the state of Chu, is leading the army to kill in the palace. "


    As soon as the words came out, there was a lot of noise.


    All the women in the harem were flustered and nervous.


    What will they do if the city of Kings is broken?


    Although Sun Shao was young, he was also courageous. He looked at Tai He Daqiao of the state of Wu and said, "grandmother, mother, with shao''er here, we won''t let Chu army hurt you."


    Although Sun Shao''s eyes, there are panic and fear.


    However, he gritted his teeth and was shocked.


    As the soldiers rushed in to report, the Chu army was getting closer to the Hougong.


    Sun Shao didn''t break through because Chu army surrounded Wu County and controlled the main road of Wu County. He wants to break out, it''s impossible.


    The only thing we can do is to stop and wait.


    As time went by, a sound of footwork came.


    Taishici led the crowd.


    Taishici was accompanied by Lu Xun, Zhang Zhao, Lu Ji and others.


    Tai Shici knew Wu Guotai. He went forward to clasp his fist and said, "I''ve seen the old lady."


    Wu Guotai black face, leaning on crutches, zhengse way: "Tai Shici, you still have face.". Bo Fu Qi attaches great importance to you and promotes you to the bottom. Zhong Mou Qi attaches great importance to you and makes you a general. That''s how you serve my sun family. "


    Daqiao, Sun Shao and others all stood behind Wu Guotai.


    After scolding Tai Shici, Wu turned his eyes to Zhang Zhao and Lu Xun and said with a sneer, "it seems that you have returned to the state of Chu. You are really a group of unfamiliar white eyed wolves."


    Zhang Zhao, a cheeky man, laughed and said, "old lady, time has changed. Today''s state of Wu can''t resist the Chu army. Can''t the old lady let me wait to be buried with her? "


    Wu Guotai said, "is Wu Guoguo sorry for your place?"


    "No!"


    Zhang Zhao answered directly.


    However, Zhang Zhao said, "but do we have any place to apologize to Wu?"


    "In its position, seek its politics."


    "When I was in the state of Wu, I tried my best to contribute to the state of Wu, but I was a little slack."


    "On the contrary, in recent years, Zhang''s family has been suppressed everywhere, and they are no longer what they used to be."


    "Old lady, do you feel guilty?"


    Zhang Zhao said, "the state of Wu has not treated me badly, but I have never been sorry to the state of Wu. Is it true that I and the ministers of the state of Wu should be the servants of the sun clan, and they should follow the sun clan and perish? "


    Wu Guotai was dumbfounded when she heard the speech.


    Zhang Zhao''s words are also reasonable.


    Over the years, Zhang Zhao devoted himself to the sun family and never slacked off.


    Now the state of Wu can''t resist it. Why let Zhang Zhao die with the sun family?Sun shao''ang said with his head: "Mr. Zhang, loyal officials are not the two masters. Since you are a minister of Wu, you should be loyal to Wu. "


    On hearing this, Zhang Zhao immediately laughed.


    That''s very headstrong.


    Zhang Zhao said: "Mr. Shao, I have heard that good birds choose trees to live in, and good officials choose their masters. Although I am a minister of the state of Wu, the mansion of the state of Wu will be destroyed, and you, young master Shao, are nothing but a man of great power. Besides, do you have virtue and ability? What are you going to do to stabilize the state of Wu? What are you going to do to keep the state of Wu? "


    Brush!


    Sun Shao''s face turned pale.


    In front of Zhang Zhao, he didn''t even have room to refute.


    Zhang Zhao refuted the state of Wu and empress sun Shaohou, then bowed to him for a long time and said, "old lady, you can say that I surrender and betray, or you can hate me. Today, the situation can no longer be changed. Old lady, for the sake of the sun family, let''s go down. "


    Sun Shao clenched his fist and was furious.


    Wu Guotai as the most powerful person, she looked around and saw a group of old and weak.


    These are orphans and widows.


    What can we do if we don''t surrender?


    Wu Guotai said helplessly, "OK, we surrender."


    As soon as these words came out, Sun Quan''s concubines and children were all relieved. Only Sun Shao was unhappy. He had just become king of Wu, and he became a prisoner. He was very uncomfortable.


    Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "the old lady will not regret your decision. When she goes to Xiangyang, she can also talk about the past with her relatives."


    At this point, Wu Guotai thought of sun Shangxiang in Xiangyang.


    Zhang Zhao looked at Tai Shici and said, "general Tai Shici, I''ll leave the rest to you."


    With a wave of his hand, a soldier came forward.


    These soldiers took Wu Guotai, Daqiao, Sun Shao, and Sun Quan''s children, wives, and concubines away and placed them separately.


    All these must be handled properly, not carelessly.


    After all this, Tai Shici led his army to leave the palace, and then returned to the barracks to gather the officials of the state of Wu.


    Officials of the state of Wu.


    Up to Zhang Zhao, Lu Xun, Lu Ji, Gu Yong and others, down to ordinary officials.


    Everyone, gather.


    Tai Shici looked at the crowd and said, "all the princes will obey the king and welcome him. However, the appointment and position of the princes must be arranged by the king. At present, the official positions of the various departments remain unchanged, and they will be adjusted after the order of the king. "


    When they heard the words, they all breathed a sigh of relief.


    At least not for the time being.


    Taishici talked to the public about other political affairs. After everything was arranged properly, he dismissed the officials, leaving Zhang Zhao, Lu Xun and Lu Ji as the core.


    We have to discuss with them about the next thing.

 Chapter 771

    Tess sits on the throne.


    He looked at Zhang Zhao and asked, "Mr. Zhang, how much money and food are there in the state treasury of Wu?"


    Zhang Zhao said: "Jiangdong is located in the southeast, with developed commerce and uncountable wealth in the Treasury. As for grain, because of years of war and the constant use of troops against Shanyue, the total amount of grain in stock is less than 10 million stone. "


    "There''s so much food, it''s enough," he said


    Ten million stone is not a small number.


    Although countless grains are consumed every day, it is enough to last for a long time.


    Tai Shici continued: "the king has not yet arrived in the state of Wu. For the time being, everything in the state of Wu will remain unchanged. So, please do your best to maintain it. In particular, the state of Wu has just surrendered, and the crisis is hidden. There may be people loyal to the sun family. Mr. Zhang, you and Mr. Lu join hands to pacify the people as soon as possible and calm down the discussion. "


    "Sure!"


    Zhang Zhaohe and Lu Ji nodded and answered.


    Both of them knew that doing things well at this time would make an impression on Liu Xiu.


    Zhang Zhaohe and Lu Ji are responsible for government affairs, but Tai Shici doesn''t worry about it.


    The military is the key.


    If the army is unstable, it is prone to turbulence.


    Tai Shici''s eyes turned to Lu Xun and said, "Bo Yan, the soldiers of Wu state under your command should be handled carefully."


    Lu Xun stopped his back and said, "general, the soldiers under the last general are allowed to be recruited. The last general has nothing to say."


    After Liu Xiu''s surrender, his soldiers should be recruited.


    But Tai Shici shook his head and said, "I knew you when I was in the state of Wu. You have the ability to govern the country with culture, to govern the army with military force, and to govern and stabilize the country. "


    "You have the ability to control the army."


    "In particular, you have been obedient to the king for a long time. If you are the king''s man, you will be relieved."


    "Therefore, your soldiers would not have been recruited."


    "All the Wu soldiers are still under your command."


    "It''s just that there is only one voice among the tens of thousands of Wu soldiers, that is, to recognize the voice of Chu. There must be no soldiers against the state of Chu. "


    "You can arrange the work here."


    There was trust and unquestionable in his eyes.


    As a general of Chu, he knew Lu Xun''s role in attacking Wu.


    First, Zhang Liao and Xun you were captured.


    The second is the combination of internal and external forces to win Wu County.


    In addition, Lu Xun has long been associated with the state of Chu, and Liu Xiu has paid attention to it for a long time.


    Lu Xun''s future is bound to be prosperous.


    Taishici helped Lu Xun and gave him a little convenience, which was equivalent to investing in advance. In particular, both he and Lu Xun were subordinated to Liu Xiu from the state of Wu, belonging to the Jiangdong system.


    To some extent, both sides are in the same camp.


    Lu Xun solemnly said: "general, I will deal with it properly. I will never let the barracks be turbulent."


    Tess nodded with satisfaction.


    In his eyes, Lu Ji is also happy for Lu Xun and the future of the Lu family.


    After so many years of hard work, the Lu family finally got something in return.


    Taishici ordered the important things properly, and then they dispersed separately.


    Lu Ji and Lu Xun return to Lu''s home.


    There are delicious dishes and wine on the table.


    Lu Ji poured and drank the wine, looking happy. He had just been drinking, but there was a blush on his face, as if he was drunk.


    Lu Xun looked in his eyes and chuckled twice.


    Wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk!


    Today''s Lu Ji is so happy that he has such a situation.


    Lu Xun picked up the bottle and said, "uncle, I respect you."


    Lu Ji said, "please!"


    He took the bottle to Lu Xun and drank it.


    Lu Ji sighed: "Uncle Yan, my uncle is very happy today. I''m really happy. In the past, the sun family was arrogant and domineering, surrounded the Lujiang River, and had a great prestige. My Lu family was forced to flee by the sun family, and my family was ruined. Now that I''ve got revenge, I''m happy! "


    Lu Xun was silent for a moment and solemnly said, "uncle, you have worked hard these years."


    Lu Ji shook his head and said, "no, you work harder."


    "My reputation is unlimited, and you have become famous early, and have been working for Sun Quan."


    "In the face of hatred, you have to smile and bear humiliation."


    "Bear his suspicion, bear his beating."


    "Fortunately, it''s all over."


    Looking at Lu Xun, Lu Ji was very excited and said, "Bo Yan, you are the hardest person. Here, uncle, to you. Let''s have another drink. "


    "Uncle, please!"


    Lu Xun filled the wine and drank it.


    Thinking about the past and the present, Lu Xun''s eyes were moist.He missed his uncle Lu Kang.


    Unfortunately, I can''t go back.


    Lu Ji put down the wine bottle in his hand, looked at Lu Xun, and continued: "Uncle Yan, uncle, I''ll give you some heartfelt words."


    "I caught the sun family today. I wish I could kill them all and kill them all."


    "But the sun family has a good daughter. Hehe, she married the king of Chu."


    "I can only keep my mind down."


    "Moreover, if you enter into the eyes of the king of Chu early, you will surely be valued by the king of Chu."


    "If I mess with the sun family, it''s not good for the sun family. It''s not only bad for the Lu family, but also bad for your future in Chu."


    "That''s all."


    "As long as you are good, as long as the Lu family is good, everything will be fine."


    "It''s enough to think that all the people in the sun family have been prisoners, and Sun Quan has been humiliated to the north."


    Lu Ji talks a lot.


    The death of his father Lu Kang was caused by sun CE.


    Lu Ji''s heart is to revenge. But for the sake of Lu family and Lu Xun, he can only leave behind his hatred.


    After hearing this, Lu Xun was moved.


    It''s not that Lu Ji doesn''t want revenge, it''s that he has to put it down for various reasons. This is Lu Ji''s helplessness. Lu Xun didn''t say much. He took the bottle and said, "uncle, my nephew, here''s to you."


    "Good!"


    Lu Ji did not refuse to come and drank a glass of wine.


    Lu Ji Kuang put down his wine glass and looked at Lu Xun. His eyes were burning and he said, "Uncle Yan, my uncle has a wish. I hope you can have a good day in mainland China and make Lu''s family bright."


    Lu Xun solemnly said, "my nephew will remember what my uncle taught me."


    Good, good


    Lu Ji smiles and drinks another glass of wine. Then he lies on the desk and sleeps.


    Lu Xun looks at such Lu Ji with emotion in his heart.


    Lu Ji is usually gentle and elegant. He has rules and regulations in every move. He is never so unscrupulous as he is today. It can be seen that the collapse of the state of Wu brought Lu Ji much joy.


    Lu Xun''s heart was heavy.


    Because Lu Ji places his family''s hopes on him.


    Lu Xun took a deep breath, calmed the agitation in his heart, and ordered the attendant to help Lu Ji to rest.


    He left Lu''s house and went to the barracks.


    His next task is to straighten out the army, so that all the Wu soldiers no longer contradict the state of Chu and stand on Liu Xiu''s side.

 Chapter 772

    Wuxi County is located in the north of Wu County.


    From Wuxi County to Wu County, if the speed is fast enough, it will be enough to arrive in two days.


    Chang Heng, general of the Wei army, led his troops to the South and was already in Wuxi County.


    Chang Heng is a general under Yu ban, brave and good at fighting, especially good at long-distance attack. This time, Chang Heng was ordered to rescue, and Chang Heng led the army, commanding 30000 elite of Wei state.


    "Hurry up, hurry up and get on the way."


    "If we arrive in Wuxian a quarter earlier, we will have more time to prepare."


    "Whether we can save the state of Wu and resist the Chu army is all in our mind. When I got to Wu County, there were some wine and meat, and some rest time. "


    "Quick, quick, quick!"


    Chang Heng was in the central army, riding on horseback, constantly urging the soldiers to go on their way.


    Wei soldiers listen to Chang Heng''s words, but also constantly southward.


    The army is on its way in a mighty way, never stopping.


    Until noon.


    After running all morning, Chang Heng ordered him to stop. The army stopped for a rest, and the soldiers began to have lunch. The lunch of Chang Heng''s soldiers was very simple, only dry food and dried meat, no hot soup and hot rice.


    Because Chang Heng''s mission is to rescue Wu County.


    So it''s time.


    Chang got off the horse and sat on a tree, resting.


    Because it was a rush March, he was also very tired.


    "Da! Dada


    Suddenly, the sound of the horse''s hooves came back from the front.


    A sentinel came at a gallop.


    The sentinel was a spy sent by Chang Heng, who was in Wuxian county.


    "Newspaper!"


    The sentry called and rode to Chang Heng.


    "Woo!"


    The sentry held the reins of the horse, turned over and got off the horse, knelt down on one knee and said, "general, it''s not good. Wu county has fallen."


    Chang Heng was stunned when he heard the speech.


    Wu county has fallen.


    How is that possible?


    According to Sun Quan, Wu county is the home of Wu state. In the city of Wu County, there is no shortage of food, weapons and weapons, and there are tens of thousands of Wu troops led by Lu Xun.


    Under such circumstances, how can Wu County fall?


    Chang Heng asked, "what''s the matter?"


    Sentinel report: "the specific situation is not clear, only know that Lu Xun surrendered, Wu county completely fell."


    Chang Heng hears the speech with a dignified expression.


    In Sun Quan''s description, Lu Xun was a loyal minister who wanted to defend Wu County and fight for time for Wu state.


    But now, Lu Xun surrendered.


    The surrender of Lu Xun and the fall of Wu county made it meaningless for Chang Heng to rescue Wu County.


    If Chang Heng attacks again, he will easily get into trouble.


    In Chang Heng''s original plan, the army arrived in Wu county to replenish food and grass, and then let the state of Wu supply food and meat, so that the soldiers could have a good meal.


    But now, all of a sudden, things have changed.


    Wu County was occupied by the Chu army. Chang Heng went to Wu county now, which was tantamount to throwing himself into the net.


    In particular, his soldiers did not have much food.


    Carry dry food, at most three or five days, will be completely exhausted.


    Chang Heng''s face became dignified. He stood up and paced back and forth in the same place, thinking about the solution.


    The situation is complicated at the moment.


    If we go deep into the enemy''s territory, even if we don''t pay attention to it, it will lead to unrest.


    Chang Heng thought about it and didn''t come up with a suitable way, so he said, "go and invite Zhu Qi."


    The soldiers went to give orders. In a short time, a middle-aged scholar came forward.


    The man was very ordinary, pale, but his eyes were bright and intelligent.


    This man is Zhu Qi, an aide to Chang Heng.


    In October, the weather turns cool.


    Zhu Qi was infected with the wind cold and had some discomfort, so he didn''t go with Chang Heng.


    Zhu Qi arched his hand and said, "general!"


    Chang Heng said in a deep voice: "Sir, Ben has just received the news from the sentinel. Wu County of Wu state has been captured by Chu army. Lu Xun, the great general of the state of Wu, also surrendered to the Chu army. If we go to Wu county again, we will go deep into the enemy''s rear. What do you say we should do? "


    Zhu Qi was also surprised.


    The news came too suddenly.


    Zhu Qi was silent and thought carefully.


    A moment later, Zhu Qi asked, "general, the state of Chu has occupied Wu County. Have you sent troops to kill us now?"


    Chang Heng said, "I haven''t heard from you yet."


    "Newspaper!"


    As soon as the voice fell, the voice of the sentinel came back.


    A sentry came quickly, stopped in front of Chang Heng and said, "general, in the state of Chu, Tai Shici is leading the army to the north, and we are killing in the middle of the court. At the present speed, one day at most, the Chu army will meet us. "At this point, the sentry stopped for a moment, and then said: "if we continue to rush to Wu County, and the Chu army continues to go north, the time to meet will be shorter."


    Often horizontal a listen, brow is more tight wrinkly.


    The good don''t come, the bad come.


    At this moment, the bad news is all piled up.


    First came the news of the fall of Wu County, and now it''s the news that Tai Shici of Chu state sent troops.


    Chang Heng was overwhelmed by a series of news.


    Chang Heng pressed down the tension in his heart, looked at Zhu Qi and asked, "Sir, what should I do next?"


    Zhu Qi said: "I have three strategies for the general to choose."


    Chang Heng said, "say it!"


    Zhu Qi''s expression was solemn and said slowly: "the best policy for me is to turn the direction immediately, retreat to piling County in the north of Wuxi County, occupy piling County, and then resist the Chu army before the news of the fall of Wu County spreads."


    "The advantage of occupying piling county is that it can slow down the Chu army''s march northward and wait for an opportunity to counterattack."


    "In addition, it can buy time for General Yu Jin to respond."


    "But the disadvantage of occupying piling county is that once piling county is lost, the general will be easily defeated by the Chu army and fall into crisis."


    Zhu Qi put forward the advantages and disadvantages of the best policy.


    He listed the advantages and disadvantages.


    After hearing this, Chang Heng thought about it carefully, but he didn''t make a decision and asked, "is it the best policy?"


    Zhu Qi said, "my best policy is to take advantage of the fact that the Chu army is one day away from us and immediately go north and withdraw to Guangling county. What this strategy doesn''t say much is to retreat directly. It''s just that our retreat will not help the current situation. "


    Chang Heng is not very happy.


    Withdraw to Guangling county.


    This means that he didn''t make any contribution, and he went back.


    Chang Heng asked again, "what''s the worst way?"


    There was a sharp flash in Zhu Qi''s eyes, and he said: "the best way is to go south and fight with Chu army. When the two armies fight, the brave win. The army fought with the Chu army and fought to defeat the Chu army. As long as the Chu army is defeated, Wu County will recover. It''s not easy to defeat the Chu army. "


    Chang Heng nodded with approval.


    It''s not easy to defeat Chu army.


    Chang Heng is not a headstrong man, he has self-knowledge. With the food of the soldiers in the army and the number of soldiers under his command, if he fought with the Chu army, he had no chance of winning.


    It is better to retreat than to do so.


    Chang Heng said directly: "Ben will choose the best policy and retreat to piling county to defend. Piling county has grain, weapons and solid cities. We defend piling County, and then send someone to Guangling county to send a message to inform general Yujin, please make arrangements. As long as the pace of the Chu army is held back, General Yu Jin will be able to deploy his troops calmly. "


    Zhu Qi said: "the general is wise."


    Chang Heng stood up and ordered: "summon, the army will retreat and return to piling County for garrison."


    When the order was given, the soldiers carried out the order, though they talked about it.


    Without any delay, the army set out in a mighty way, changed its direction, and went straight to piling county.

 Chapter 773

    Chang Heng led his troops to piling county to withdraw, while Tai Shici led others to cover up.


    When the two sides fled and pursued, Liu Xiu had already taken the army from Nanchang county to Wanling County, Danyang county.


    Wanling county is close to Wujun and not far from the South Bank of the Yangtze River.


    If you are in Wanling County, you can control the whole situation.


    The army encamped.


    Barracks, big accounts of the Chinese army.


    Fazheng sat upright and said, "king, in Wu County, taishici is covering up the Wei army going south. On the Yangtze River, another water army blocked the rescue of the state of Wei. The war in the state of Wu will not have much influence. "


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, his face was also full of smiles.


    The state of Wu has been destroyed.


    The next step is to sort out Wu''s government affairs and get everything back on track.


    As for the Wei army going south, Liu Xiu did not pay attention to it.


    There is a long river, Liu Xiu has a great advantage.


    Liu Xiu''s reinforcements can continuously enter the battlefield, and food and weapons can be continuously delivered.


    But the Wei army going south was different.


    After the Yangtze River was blocked, the Wei army, which entered the state of Wu, became a lone army.


    Unless the Wei army has a strong enough water army, but under the current situation, the water army of the state of Wei can not reach such a level.


    Liu Xiu looked at Fazheng and said, "filial piety and uprightness, the overall situation of Wu state is determined. In Wei, there may be new trends soon. Pay close attention and never be careless. "


    "Here it is


    The law should be followed.


    However, in Fazheng''s mind, he is still confident and not worried.


    ¡­¡­


    Wuxi County.


    Taishici led the army to arrive, and the army suspended.


    A sentry trotted his horse.


    The sentry came to taishici and said, "general, we just found out that the Wei army retreated to piling county. Now we are defending the city."


    Tai Shici sneered: "it''s not so easy to defend piling county."


    He waved the sentry down, but he didn''t care.


    As long as the Wei army is in the territory of Wu, it is a turtle in a jar.


    After the rest, the army continued to go north.


    ¡­¡­


    Piling county.


    Chang Heng held this place and controlled all the granaries and coffers in the county.


    With food and equipment in hand, Chang Heng has no worries in a short time.


    On the tower.


    Zhu Qi strode to Chang Heng.


    Zhu Qi''s wind and cold recovered almost as well as his spirit. He arched his hand and said, "general, the food, grass and equipment in the city have been counted properly. The food in the city is enough for us to hold on for at least a month, as well as enough bows, arrows and equipment. "


    "Good!"


    Chang Heng had a smile on his face.


    With grain, Chang Heng has the confidence.


    Chang Heng changed his words and said, "we''ve already sent sentinels back to deliver the message. I don''t know if general Yu Jin has got the message here?"


    Zhu Qi said: "the sentinel is on his way very fast. There will be a response soon."


    Suddenly, Zhu Qi turned to look out of the city.


    Three men in black are galloping up.


    These three men were not the clothes of soldiers in the army, nor were they the spies who were often sent to inquire about the trend of Tai Shici.


    Three people came to the tower, headed by a humanitarian: "General Chang, villains from the general''s order."


    Chang Heng was very excited when he said this.


    Finally, here comes the news.


    Chang Heng ordered: "open the gate."


    With a creak, the gate opened and the messenger entered the city.


    Soon, the three men came to the tower.


    The first soldier took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chang Heng, saying: "general, this is the order of General Yu Jin."


    "Well!"


    Chang joined it horizontally and was ready to take it apart.


    The soldier continued: "General Chang, there is another piece of news. Now that the Chu army has sent water troops to blockade the Yangtze River, it will be very difficult for our army to go south. "


    When Chang Heng heard the news, he felt heavy.


    Chang Heng said, "Ben will know."


    He opened the letter and scanned it quickly.


    After watching it, Chang Heng smiles instead and doesn''t worry any more. He handed the letter to Zhu Qi and said, "Sir, have a look."


    Zhu Qi also quickly browsed it and said excitedly, "ah, commander Sima made arrangements early. If so, that would be great. "


    Chang Heng said: "the Chu army blockaded the river, but as long as we followed the plan of Sima''s army, we were extremely advantageous."


    "Yes


    Zhu Qi is also full of confidence.


    Chang Heng looked at the soldier who reported the news and said, "do you need to go back to recover your life?"


    The soldier said, "we need to go back."Chang Heng said, "in that case, go down and have a rest first. Then, I''ll go back to Guangling county. "


    The soldier responded and retired.


    At this time, Chang Heng was no longer worried and said excitedly, "Sir, whether the situation in Wei and Chu can be reversed has become a crucial link."


    Zhu Qi said with admiration: "Sima''s strategy is really powerful. But the point now is that we must guard piling County, otherwise everything will be over. "


    "Well!"


    Chang Heng nodded heavily.


    They are in piling county.


    As time goes by, it''s mid October.


    On this day, the sentinel reported that taishici''s army was less than two hours away from piling county.


    When Chang Heng got the news, he ordered to be on guard.


    Two hours passed in a flash.


    Taishici led a large army to the city.


    The great army is in array, with strict bearing, fierce spirit and unparalleled power.


    Standing on the tower, Chang Heng looked out and saw the elite soldiers of the Chu army. He couldn''t help sighing: "the elite of the Chu army is rare in the world. If our soldiers confront the Chu army head on, I''m afraid they won''t get any good. "


    Zhu Qi said: "the general doesn''t have to belittle himself. The soldiers we led are not the most elite soldiers in the state of Wei. Taishici, as the chief General of Liu Xiu''s first army, was full of elite. If the tiger and leopard are allowed to ride here, it will be enough to defeat the elite soldiers of taishici. "


    Chang Heng laughed and said, "it''s true."


    His eyes fell on the Chu army outside the city. He saw a general come out of the Chu army, and his eyes shrank.


    The person who came out should be Tai Shici.


    But Chang Heng is not sure. After all, he didn''t deal with Tai Shici.


    The person who came out was really Tai Shici.


    He galloped his horse and stood up, holding a big gun, pointing to piling city from a distance. He said in a loud voice: "listen to the Wei army on the tower, open the gate and surrender. They would not have killed."


    Chang Heng said: "Tai Shici, it''s impossible for ben to surrender. You are just tens of thousands of Chu troops, but the Wei army under the general is tens of thousands, plus countless food and grass. It''s impossible for you to conquer piling county. "


    When Tai Shici saw that persuasion was ineffective, he stopped persuasion.


    In the final analysis, it depends on strength.


    With a wave of the long gun in his hand, he ordered, "kill!"


    At the command, the soldiers under the command of taishici began to rush forward and directly attack the city of piling.


    The army attacked the city in a mighty way. Catapults, crossbows and arrows were suppressed in the air, and soldiers rushed in.


    In a short time, the two sides fought in the castle.


    The soldiers of the state of Chu attacked the castle a little, but they were beaten down a little.


    There were several battles in succession, but in the end, the county seat of piling county was not conquered. After a day''s fighting, the Chu army failed to make full use of it, so they retreated and camped outside the city.

 Chapter 774

    At night, the night is as black as ink.


    On the tower.


    The fighting during the day has led to a river of blood on the city wall, and countless blood has stained the city wall.


    The garrison of Wei army cleaned the battlefield and carried corpses.


    It''s late at night when everything is done.


    Chang Heng and Zhu Qi stood on the tower with a dignified look on their faces.


    Chang Heng said: "Sir, from the first day of fighting, the Chu army''s offensive is very fierce, which can be called sharp."


    "We held on, but the pressure was huge."


    "It''s not good for us to go on like this."


    "If there are no external factors, with the current military strength and food supply, we can resist it."


    "However, the counselors of Chu army are not soft hearted. They will start from other aspects."


    Chang Heng had worries in his eyes and said: "for example, we should make use of the people''s will in the city, and then make use of the aristocratic families in piling county. These people are uncontrollable factors. You see, whether we should start ahead of time and get rid of the aristocratic family in piling city. "


    When it comes to the end, Chang Heng''s eyes are full of opportunities.


    As a soldier in the army, Chang Heng is not a good believer.


    For the uneasy factors of piling City, Chang Heng is not soft hearted.


    Anyway, they are not from the state of Wei. Kill them as long as they can keep the city of piling.


    Zhu Qi said: "if the general guards the city of piling, he will be more likely to cause confusion and unnecessary trouble if he kills wantonly. In my opinion, we should give priority to tenderness. "


    Chang Heng said, "how to be gentle?"


    Zhu Qi said with a smile: "send orders to the families, and let the owners of the families, with their private soldiers, go up to the city to resist the Chu army. Those who disobey orders, kill them


    Chang Heng said with a smile, "wonderful, that''s it."


    Immediately, Chang Heng made arrangements.


    The orders were sent to the families. Although the owners of the families were angry, they did not dare to disobey the orders.


    Once violated, it must be stabbed by the Wei army.


    Piling city''s major aristocratic family owners, finally angry with people to the city upstairs.


    The heads of the aristocratic families looked angry.


    They looked at Chang Heng and wanted to kill him. If their eyes could kill him, Chang Heng would have died countless times.


    Chang Heng is calm.


    As a battlefield general, he was not afraid of the family of piling city.


    Chang Heng''s eyes swept over the crowd and hummed coldly.


    A sense of senleng''s killing comes out of Chang Heng''s body. Where his senleng''s eyes go, the angry aristocratic family owners all avoid Chang Heng''s eyes.


    People under the eaves have to bow their heads.


    Chang Heng is arrogant and ferocious. He has a strong army. The people of his family dare not fight against Chang Heng.


    Chang Heng said, "you are all senior members of the family in piling City, or famous people. It would be inappropriate for you to fight against the enemy. "


    "After consideration, Ben decided to put you on the tower."


    "When the enemy comes, you don''t have to fight, just hide in the room and watch."


    "At ordinary times, Ben will not restrict your movement, as long as you do not leave the castle."


    Chang Heng, with a smile on his face, continued: "of course, the private soldiers of all the great families you have brought will have accepted. All the private soldiers will be reorganized by the general and agreed to be arranged. "


    As soon as the words came out, the master of the aristocratic family immediately began to talk.


    One by one, looking at Chang Heng, they were furious.


    "General Chang, I''m afraid it''s not right for you to do so. Please think twice."


    In the crowd, the head of an aristocratic family objected.


    Chang Heng stared at the speaker and said, "are you impatient? If you really didn''t want to live a few more days, Ben would have finished you right away. "


    "Sonorous!"


    When the sword comes out of its sheath, the light of the sword is shining against the fire.


    Mori Leng''s light is shining on the sword.


    Those who speak against Chang Heng shrink their necks and stop speaking.


    Chang Heng looked at the others with a smiling expression and said, "do you have anything else to say?"


    In front of the aristocratic family, he is always strong.


    Only in this way can we cut the mess quickly.


    All the masters of the aristocratic families dared to be angry, but finally they had to obey Chang Heng''s arrangement.


    Chang Heng arranged the people of all the great families to live in the city tower, and sent soldiers to supervise them. Then he began to integrate the private soldiers of all the great families.


    There are a large number of private soldiers in piling city.


    The total number is more than 8000.


    If Chang Heng didn''t control this force well, when Chang Heng was in the middle of fighting with Chu army, the appearance of this force might give Chang Heng a fatal blow.


    Now Chang Heng has solved this problem.


    Chang Heng integrated the private soldiers of the aristocratic families, because there was also a hostile relationship between the major aristocratic families.Many private soldiers hate each other and even fight against each other.


    Chang Heng didn''t persuade or stop him. He just cut off the two sides after the fight.


    This action made the private soldiers of the major families shudder.


    Seeing Chang Heng''s thunder action, the private soldiers of the major aristocratic families gradually gained combat effectiveness under the integration of Chang Heng. Later, Tai Shici attacked piling city. Chang Heng didn''t dispatch his regular troops, but let the private soldiers of the major families resist.


    In just three days, the private soldiers of the major families suffered heavy losses.


    Originally, there were more than 8000 soldiers, but there were less than 2000 left.


    Chang Heng is on the defensive side. It''s amazing to have such a big loss. But Chang Heng knew that this was normal. Chu''s army was elite, and the defenders were scattered. It was good to block it.


    The remaining two thousand soldiers were able to fight and began to integrate into Chang Heng''s army.


    After the integration of the armed forces, Chang Heng was relieved.


    That night, Chang Heng was reorganizing his soldiers. A sentry came from outside the city and soon returned to the tower.


    The sentry stood in front of Chang Heng and said, "general, another army is in place. Tomorrow, Tai Shici will attack the city, and then he will be ready for a counter attack. "


    "Good!"


    Chang Heng''s face is full of smiles.


    After resisting for so many days, I have been beaten passively.


    Now, the war is finally planned.


    Chang Heng asked the sentry to go down to have a rest, then sent someone to call Zhu Qi and said, "Sir, you are busy persuading the major families these days. What''s the situation?"


    Zhu Qi said: "two families have been shaken, and the rest are still waiting."


    Chang Heng looked disdainful and said, "hum, they are worried that if we fail, they will be in trouble."


    Zhu Qi said, "is there anything else, general?"


    Chang Heng nodded and said: "just received the news, everything is ready. Tomorrow, we will attack Tarshis


    Zhu Qi also laughed when he heard the speech.


    This day has finally arrived.


    Sima Yi''s plan finally came to a critical moment.


    Zhu Qi suddenly said: "general, do you know who is the chief General of the other army?"


    Chang Heng shook his head and said, "I don''t know. Commander Sima''s plans are all mysterious. I don''t know what he does. In a word, we will act according to the plan we have set. "


    "Good!"


    Zhu Qi responded.


    Chang Heng said, "Sir, have a rest early. Ben will go over it again. "


    "Here it is


    After Zhu Qi stepped down, Chang Heng patrolled the city.


    Taishici could not capture piling County for a long time. He was not sure that he would come to attack at night, so he had to be on guard.


    After a tour, Chang Heng returned to the camp to have a rest.


    The next day.


    Early in the morning, the eastern sky, will rise all over the sky.


    A red sun is rising, and the morning glow is all over the sky.


    It''s rare to have such a weather in winter. The Wei soldiers stationed on the city floor seem to warm up when they see the sun.


    "Dong! Dong! "


    All of a sudden, the powerful sound of war drums came from outside the city.


    The sound is getting closer and closer.


    With the sound of drums, Chu''s army stepped forward and lined up outside the city.

 Chapter 775

    Standing on the tower, Chang Heng heard the drums and saw the soldiers coming. His heart suddenly tightened.


    The war began.


    It''s up to his soldiers whether they can hold on.


    Chang Heng ordered: "prepare!"


    The order was given, and all the soldiers were in action, all ready to fight.


    Chang Heng looks at the Chu army outside the city and says in his heart, "come on, let''s see how elite the Chu army is.".


    Taishici leads the army to arrive and looks at Chang Heng, who is guarding the city, with a sneer in his heart.


    If it was such a strong city as Wu county that he was forced to attack, Tai Shici would really find it difficult. But in front of him, piling County, a small city, wanted to stop him. It was a dream.


    "The catapult is ready," he ordered


    At the command, one by one, the catapults came up.


    All the catapults were transformed by Huang Yueying, and then they were more aggressive.


    With Tess ordering the attack.


    All the catapults turned on the stones and bombed piling.


    "Boom!"


    A big stone fell, and a big pit was smashed out of the tower.


    "Boom! Boom! "


    One after another bombing, one after another.


    One stone after another fell, making the garrison on the tower hide on the tower and deal with it carefully.


    Often horizontal look in the eyes, but do not care.


    It''s wishful thinking that only the catapult wants to break through the city.


    Chang Heng kept the soldiers away from attack.


    When the catapult attacked, suddenly, another Archer of Chu army came forward.


    Archers use the same big bow, and the soldiers who shoot the arrow are all big and strong men. Thousands of archers lined up outside the city, shooting.


    "Whew! Whew


    Bows and arrows, like rain, keep shooting towards the city tower.


    Chang Heng is still calm in his eyes.


    Chu military archery shooting, but also in his expectations.


    The soldiers picked up their shields and put them on their heads. One soldier after another carried the shield, forming a huge shield.


    The bow and arrow hit the shield and did not affect the soldiers.


    Zhu Qi looked in his eyes and frowned slightly.


    This is not the right situation.


    Any general who is proficient in combat knows that the use of catapults, bows and arrows in siege is to suppress the soldiers on the tower, so that their soldiers can get close to the tower and then attack.


    However, Chu soldiers did not.


    Taishici had no plan to let Chu army attack.


    Why?


    Zhu Qi was suspicious.


    Zhu Qi looked at Chang Heng and said, "general, Tai Shici is strange. Up to now, no troops have been sent to attack. "


    Chang Heng said, "we should keep the same to cope with all changes. We will not move for the time being."


    Zhu Qi nodded.


    This is the only way to deal with the current situation.


    But Zhu Qi had a bad feeling in his heart, because he thought Tai Shici had come prepared.


    At this time, the formation outside the city changed again.


    Another group of soldiers rushed out.


    This group of soldiers in the hands of, is a huge crossbow machine.


    There are more than 100 soldiers.


    All soldiers approach the tower and stop fifty paces away.


    The distance of fifty steps is within the range of the bow and arrow on the tower. But Tai Shici didn''t want money to order archers to shoot, and the catapult continued to attack, which led to the Wei army on the city floor, even had no chance to rise.


    Once you come out, you will be shot by bow and arrow.


    Not to mention, there are stones constantly bombing the tower.


    All these lead to the suppression of Chang Heng.


    Zhu Qi stares at the outside of the city. He stares at this group of Chu soldiers with huge crossbows.


    "General Chang, this may be the reliance of Tai Shici."


    Zhu Qi said.


    Chang Heng sneered and said, "what''s the use of a group of soldiers with crossbows and arrows. It''s wishful thinking to shoot through the tower. "


    When Zhu Qi heard this, he felt a thump in his heart.


    Maybe that''s what the Chu army outside the city planned.


    The distance of 50 steps is enough for Zhu Qi to see the crossbow machine and arrow of his opponent clearly.


    The other side''s Crossbow machine is huge, and the crossbow is thicker than the thumb. Once the crossbow is fired, the killing power will be huge.


    Zhu Qi saw that the other side had loaded the crossbow and then shot.


    "Whew!"


    A crossbow broke through the air and hit the city wall.


    The sharp crossbow directly breaks through the wall and penetrates into the city building. The crossbow is buzzing and shaking.


    After this one was fired, the rest of the soldiers pulled the trigger of the crossbow one after another.


    One hundred crossbows made of fine steel are aimed at the same direction, and they are all the positions where the first crossbow hits.All the crossbows and arrows were shot, and they were all shot into the wall.


    WOW!


    The bricks and stones on the tower crash down and are greatly damaged by the impact of crossbows and arrows.


    After the first round, there was the second round.


    Two rounds of crossbows and arrows can shoot 200 crossbows and arrows forged with fine steel.


    These two hundred crossbows and arrows directly dug a big pothole in the wall.


    When he saw the location of the crossbow, his mouth was filled with a smile. If he attacks piling City, and the other side has enough garrison, weapons and food, taishici is really hard to attack.


    However, piling is not such a strong city as Wu County.


    Piling city is just a county, an ordinary county.


    Such a city is not difficult to attack.


    In particular, the unique crossbow of Chu state was enough to destroy the city wall.


    Taishici looked and saw that the catapult had begun to aim at the position of the bow and arrow.


    Stone by stone bombardment, the place where the crossbow was originally shot, the loss of wall fragmentation, unable to withstand the attack of the catapult.


    After the continuous impact of the catapult, a big pit appeared in the wall.


    At this time, it was two rounds of crossbow shooting.


    With the attack of the catapult, the wall of the tower fell one layer at a time.


    At the risk of being designed by the bow and arrow, Zhu Qi leaned out of his head and looked at it, and his face changed greatly. He retracted his head and yelled, "general, No. The other side''s crossbow was extremely powerful, plus the bombardment of the catapult. If it goes on like this, in less than half a day, a gap will be opened in the city tower. It''s very bad for us. "


    Chang Heng''s rough face twitched slightly when he heard the speech.


    He wanted to be stationed in piling City, but now, I''m afraid he can''t.


    Chang Heng clenched his fists and was anxious in his heart.


    Chang Heng said, "Sir, what do you say to do?"


    Zhu Qi also looked dignified and said, "general, get ready to break through. But now, we have to stick to it. Wait a second. Until the end, we can''t break through. "


    "Good!"


    Chang Heng nodded.


    He has no choice but to hang on.


    The bow and arrow continued.


    Stones kept falling on the towers.


    At this time, the towers are immersed in a roaring sound.


    Even, there was a certain vibration.


    Chang Heng had no way to fight back, because no catapult was found in piling. When there is no catapult to intercept the opponent, his archers are difficult to play a role, so they can only be beaten passively.


    Time goes by little.


    There are more and more holes in the wall.


    Crossbow shooting.


    The stone struck.


    The clattering wall fell to the ground.


    Seeing the walls of the city building getting thinner and thinner, they are already on the verge of collapse.


    Tess looked in his eyes with a bright smile on his face.


    Half a day.


    He broke through the city of piling with a catapult, a crossbow and a bow.

 Chapter 776

    It''s ten miles to the northwest of piling city.


    In a valley.


    There are so many trees here that few people come.


    In the valley, there is an army hidden.


    The soldiers of this army wore the unique uniform of the soldiers of the state of Wei.


    The army here is the Wei army.


    The leader of the army was yuan Qian, a general under Yu Jin.


    When he sent Chang Heng and others to the south, Yuan Qian was among them. Not only Chang Heng went south, but also yuan Qian led his troops across the river. However, the soldiers under yuan Qian''s command did not appear aboveboard, but hid and waited for the opportunity.


    The soldiers led by Yuan Qian have been hiding, but they are not far away from Chang Heng.


    When Chang Heng went south, Yuan Qian followed him.


    Chang Heng went north, and Yuan Qian followed him.


    Chang Heng retreated to piling city and garrisoned there, while yuan Qian took his soldiers to hide in response to Chang Heng.


    At the moment, Yuan Qian is waiting for news.


    When piling city was attacked, Yuan Qian sent scouts to inquire for information.


    "Da! Dada


    The rapid sound of horse''s hooves resounded through the official road.


    A war horse, coming at a gallop.


    The horses soon entered the valley and came to Yuan Qian. The sentry turned over and dismounted. With a worried look on his face, he reported: "general yuan, the city of piling can''t be defended. By this afternoon at the latest, the city of piling will be broken. "


    Yuan Qian was stunned.


    Tai Shici has just arrived at piling city. He just started to attack the city. How can he break the city in the afternoon?


    Yuan Qian knew Chang Heng''s ability.


    Chang Heng is a tiger general who dares to fight and is more skillful in calculation.


    In addition, Chang Heng''s side has Zhu Qi''s advice.


    The two men arranged to stay in piling city for at least three or five days, not to mention ten days and a half months.


    But now, piling city can''t be defended.


    "What''s the matter?" Yuan Qian asked


    The Sentinel''s face was solemn, and he reported: "report back to general, taishici attacked the city with the unique catapult and crossbow of Chu state. The catapults and bows and arrows suppressed General Chang''s soldiers, and then the catapults and arrows concentrated on shooting at the city wall, and the stones collided with it, and the city wall could not withstand the bombardment. "


    Yuan Qian sighed after hearing the speech.


    He understood.


    Taishici is going to open piling city.


    Such a situation was beyond yuan Qian''s expectation.


    Yuan Qian considered Chang Heng''s ability and the elite of his soldiers, but he did not consider the firmness of the city wall.


    Miscalculation!


    In Yuan Qian''s heart, there was such an idea.


    Yuan Qianjing came down and thought about the solution carefully.


    He is now out to rescue, which can alleviate the crisis faced by Chang Heng. Even yuan Qian is confident that he can beat Tai Shici for a while. But under such circumstances, it is not easy to defeat Tai Shici.


    After all, the soldiers under the command of taishici are all elite. To defeat taishici, it is only by surprise that taishici can be attacked.


    "General, it''s not difficult to break the current situation, defeat or even defeat taishici."


    Suddenly, a middle-aged scholar beside yuan Qian spoke.


    Kong you, a middle-aged scholar, worked as a civilian in the army and assisted yuan Qian in handling military affairs.


    Yuan Qian said, "what can I do, sir?"


    There was a flash of light in Kong you''s eyes, and he said: "divide the troops to attack, divide the troops to attack taishici."


    Yuan Qian said: "how to divide the troops? How to divide them into several armies."


    Kong you said, "it''s divided into three armies."


    "No matter how powerful the Wei army is, the soldiers of the state of Chu will be killed!


    The fighting between the two sides became more and more fierce.


    Tai Shici looked around, his eyes narrowed.


    The overall situation of this war has been decided.


    If there is no accident, the war will end here.


    The Wei army in piling city could not escape.


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, a soldier galloped to Tarshis. The soldier hugged his fist and said, "general, there are a large number of Wei troops in our rear. They are attacking the rear army."


    "Newspaper!"


    Immediately after that, another soldier came and reported: "general, the right wing has been attacked."


    "Newspaper!"


    A third soldier came and reported: "general, the left wing has been attacked."


    Both the left and right wings of the soldiers are under attack.


    After hearing these three pieces of news, Tai Shici was not angry, but with a smile in his mouth.


    All this is not unusual.


    Taishici looked calm and said, "send the order down and order all the soldiers to resist. Tell all the soldiers that our reinforcements are on the way. In this war, we must bring the Wei army to the end in one pot. "


    "Here it is


    The soldier who reported the news got excited.With reinforcements, they can win.


    The news quickly spread to Chang Heng that his soldiers were attacked.


    Chang Heng didn''t know where the soldiers came from.


    But I don''t care about that.


    As long as someone saves him, that''s good news.


    Chang Heng clenched his weapon and roared: "soldiers, our reinforcements are coming. It''s our army. It''s our army. It''s not our army


    After learning that there were reinforcements, Chang Heng stopped defending conservatively and led all the soldiers out.


    When Chang Heng fought hard, Yuan Qian''s three armies were also attacking the army of Tai Shici.


    The two sides were at war, suppressing the army of Tarshis.


    The fighting continued.


    The Wei army tried to hide and kill, but the Chu army tried to resist.


    When the soldiers delivered the news, they had told all the Chu troops that reinforcements were coming. So the soldiers of Chu army didn''t relax. They all held on, waiting for reinforcements.


    The battlefield is shrinking.


    The range of Chu soldiers was compressed bit by bit.


    Yuan Qian and Chang Heng were surprised because they both saw the resilience of the Chu army.


    Under such unfavourable circumstances, Tai Shici did not retreat at all, but fought to the end, and the soldiers of Chu army did not surrender and fled. They all fought to the end, which shows his strength.


    Such an army is appalling and even more admirable.

 Chapter 777

    Chang Heng led his troops to narrow down the scope. He yelled: "Tai Shici, those who come down will not be killed."


    The order spread among the soldiers in the army.


    "Tai Shici, those who surrender will not be killed!"


    The soldiers cried.


    "Tai Shici, those who surrender will not be killed!"


    "Tai Shici, those who surrender will not be killed!"


    Countless soldiers were shouting, one wave higher than the other.


    The soldiers of the state of Wei occupied the advantage, and their momentum became stronger and stronger, and their shouts became louder and louder.


    The morale of the Wei army is getting stronger and stronger.


    Wave after wave of Wei''s charge, constantly compressed the scope of Chu''s soldiers.


    At this time, the Chu army was surrounded by the Wei army on all sides.


    "The fourth soldier shouts:" the fourth soldier shouts.


    Despite the current difficulties, no one in the Fourth Army surrendered.


    Even in crisis, there was no idea of surrender.


    There are no cowards in Chu soldiers.


    Soldiers of the Fourth Army, no surrender.


    Fighting is still going on in the battlefield, and there are countless corpses piled up outside piling county.


    When the army of the state of Wei constantly crushed the Chu army, it was on the official road not far from the city of piling.


    The sound of horse''s hooves trampled, and the ground was covered with smoke and dust.


    A cavalry came in.


    The leader of the army is Lu Xiao, who is a general under Lu Xun.


    Lu Xiao led 5000 cavalry to piling county.


    Lu Xiao was followed by a great army of infantry, led by Lu Xun. Taishici attacked piling County in the north, which was a famous army.


    Lu Xun led the reorganized soldiers to follow and secretly coordinate.


    "Da! Dada


    The horse''s hooves sounded and the sentry trotted back.


    The sentry came to Lu Xun''s side and said, "Lord Lu, when the Taishi general conquered the city of piling, the Wei army came out and surrounded the Taishi general. Now, general Taishi is in trouble and can''t hold on any longer.


    Lu Xun hears the words, and he watches Lu Xiao''s cavalry go away.


    With the support of army led by Lu Xiao, the crisis can be postponed.


    But the real fighting still needs Lu Xun''s army to arrive.


    Lu Xun ordered: "speed up, full speed forward."


    All soldiers speed up and go straight to piling city.


    When Lu Xiao arrived with 5000 cavalry, it was already sunset.


    There are less than ten thousand soldiers around him.


    Tens of thousands of elite, only less than ten thousand people are left. It can be imagined that the battle was fierce. In the same way, the soldiers of Wei under Chang Heng and Yuan Qian suffered heavy casualties.


    Lu Xiao saw that taishici was surrounded by groups. He pointed his long knife to the front and ordered: "kill!"


    "Kill


    Five thousand cavalry, suddenly shouting.


    In an instant, Lu Xiao led 5000 cavalry directly to kill him.


    Cavalry into the battlefield, suddenly changed.


    This scene shocked Chang Heng and sun Qian.


    How can Chu army still have reinforcements?


    Countless soldiers of the state of Wei were also shocked. One by one, they seemed to be splashed with cold water.


    They''ve been fighting for a long time, and they''re going to kill Tarshis.


    At the critical moment, the reinforcements of Chu army came. What is this?


    It was a bad thing for the soldiers of the state of Wei, but for Tai Shici, he was very excited.


    Here we go!


    Finally!


    Tai Shici had been bleeding all over for a long time, and he was exhausted after fighting for a day.


    At the end of the day, there were reinforcements.


    "Sons, our reinforcements are coming. Kill them!"


    Tai Shici roared, extremely excited.


    There was a breath in his chest that was going to gush out. It was a pleasant breath of excitement.


    The soldiers who are still fighting to death are also excited.


    One by one, they roared, whined and waved their steel knives to the soldiers of the state of Wei.


    "Reinforcements are coming, brothers, kill!"


    "Chu army is invincible!"


    "Defeat the Wei army and kill them."


    One after another, the soldiers yelled.


    The sound of a wave higher than a wave, more intense.


    When the Chu soldiers fought, Lu Xiao''s 5000 cavalry, like a sharp knife, broke through the defense line of the Wei soldiers and constantly crushed them.


    Yuan Qian looked at the cavalry of the state of Chu and was not worried.


    There are not many cavalry in front of us.


    As for the Wei cavalry, it was not strong enough to defeat thousands of troops.


    Yuan Qian sent his soldiers to resist, intending to stop Lu Xiao''s cavalry.


    Chang Heng, seeing that Yuan Qian had dispatched troops, was not anxious. He arranged for the soldiers to continue to fight, intending to destroy the Chu army first.The fighting continued, but the situation of Chu army being suppressed had changed.


    Time goes by.


    When Lu Xiao''s cavalry had fallen into battle, the army led by Lu Xun arrived.


    When Lu Xun arrived at the battlefield, he directly dispatched his soldiers to the battlefield.


    First on the left and right wings, then on the front.


    In an instant, the situation on the battlefield was changed. In particular, with taishici''s attack inside and Lu Xun''s army''s cover up outside, they began to encircle.


    Zhu Qi followed Chang Heng and frowned at the sight.


    There are too many reinforcements in Chu.


    First a cavalry came to the rescue, then an army.


    There''s no way to beat Tess this time.


    Zhu Qi took a deep breath and said, "General Chang, you can''t stop it. Withdraw."


    Chang Heng looks at the battlefield with a very embarrassed expression.


    He managed to figure out how to defeat him. But in the twinkling of an eye, the situation changed.


    Chang Heng is not reconciled.


    Chang Heng is not willing to fail.


    But in the present reality, he had to admit that he was defeated this time.


    Chang Heng ordered: "withdraw!"


    "Dang! Dang! Dang! "


    Soon, the sound of gongs resounded on the battlefield.


    Chang Heng led the soldiers and quickly withdrew from the battlefield.


    Yuan Qian saw Chang Heng leave, he also knew that this time it was impossible to win, and immediately said: "withdraw!"


    With Yuan Qian''s order, he also withdrew with his soldiers.


    Yuan Qian joined Chang Heng and sent his troops to retreat.


    This retreat gave taishici a chance to cover up and kill. With Lu Xiao''s cavalry, it was easier to cover up and kill.


    Lu Xiao leads the troops to cover up and kill, while Tai Shici and Lu Xun meet.


    Tai Shici said with a smile: "Bo Yan, if you are half an hour later, my soldiers will be completely defeated."


    Lu Xun said: "if the general does not persist to this time, it is difficult to easily cover up and kill the Wei army."


    Tess nodded.


    The same is true.


    Although Lu Tzu sun''s army has been hard hit, it has created enough opportunities for him to fight to the death.


    The two men organized the army and counted the losses.


    After counting the losses under his command, he got the news and couldn''t help sighing.


    More than 20000 of his soldiers died in the war.


    All these soldiers died in the war.


    No one surrendered, no one fled, all died in battle.


    The soldiers under taishici''s command died so many times, but so did the Wei army.


    An hour and a half later, it was completely dark.


    At this time, Lu Xiao came back with his cavalry. Lu Xiao came to taishici and said, "general, the last general is incompetent. He failed to catch the Wei generals."


    "It''s all right, we''ve hit each other hard. Now they are short of food and clothing, they can''t hold on. As long as we go north steadily, we can crush each other. "


    Lu Xiao is under Lu Xun''s command.


    Even if Lu Xiao failed to catch the general of the Wei army, Tai Shici would not punish him.


    Tess arranged for the soldiers to rest and began to recuperate.

 Chapter 778

    Dark night.


    In the mountains and fields, the Wei soldiers were sitting on the ground, panting.


    Chang Heng and Yuan Qian sat against the fire.


    Two facial expression, are not very good, very helpless.


    Yuan Qian was the successor of Sima Yi''s preparation to prevent Chang Heng from being attacked.


    But I didn''t expect that the other side also had a backhand.


    Yuan Qian said with emotion: "fortunately, the soldiers under the general are stationed in different places, and there are still some food. Otherwise, we will run out of food. "


    Chang Heng said, "but we still lost."


    Zhu Qi said, "general, I can''t blame you. It was the right step to defend piling County, but I didn''t expect that the Chu army was so powerful. There was nothing I could do about it. "


    Chang Heng nodded.


    Although Zhu Qi was relieved, his heart was still hard to calm down.


    Yuan Qian said: "what we have to consider now is how to go next?"


    Chang Heng said, "how can I get there? The Chu army didn''t catch up today. But early tomorrow morning, the Chu army will certainly pursue fiercely. Taishici is not a good person, nor a beginner. Yuan Qian, do you want to fight back? "


    Now Chang Heng is quite depressed.


    Yuan Qian said: "if you don''t find a chance to fight back, can you just run back so disheartened?"


    Chang Heng clenched his fist.


    In this way, he was not reconciled to escape.


    Chang Heng looked at Yuan Qian and said, "what do you say to do?"


    Yuan Qian''s eyes twinkled with light and said, "Chang Heng, in fact, we have overlooked a problem."


    "What''s the problem?" Chang Heng asked.


    Yuan Qian said: "taishici led troops to attack us, but Wu County was short of troops. Now, even Lu Xun has brought his troops. This means that Wu county is empty. "


    Chang Heng''s eyes suddenly brightened when he heard the words.


    Chang Heng couldn''t wait to say, "do you mean we''re going to Wu County?"


    "Yes


    Yuan Qian''s reply was resounding.


    Wu county is empty. Attacking Wu County at this time will surely have a wonderful effect.


    Zhu Qi said: "it''s not a matter of time to go from piling county to Wu County. There are many barriers involved on the way. It''s not easy to go south. "


    Yuan Qian zhengse said: "this will naturally be clear. But in the current situation, even if it is difficult to go south, we have to try. If we go south to Wuxian and break it, we can revitalize the situation. "


    Yuan Qian stared at Chang Heng and said, "what do you think?"


    Chang Heng said: "dry!"


    Chang Heng, who had been defeated in succession, was unwilling to admit defeat and had to go south.


    Suddenly, a soldier came.


    The soldier came to Yuan Qian''s side and reported: "general yuan, there is a man who claims to be a messenger of General Yu Jin and has come to send a message."


    "Please


    Yuan Qian raised his eyebrows.


    When did Yu ban send messengers?


    Not long after, a thin middle-aged man in black came.


    Looking at Yuan Qian, the middle-aged man arched his hand and said, "general yuan Qian, General Yu Jin ordered you to delay Tai Shici and Lu Xun, take them around the circle and delay time."


    "Ah


    After hearing this, Yuan Qian couldn''t help exclaiming.


    Yuan Qian didn''t believe it, but he took the letter from the middle-aged man.


    When I opened the letter, it was indeed Yu Jin''s handwriting and seal.


    Yuan Qian handed the letter to Chang Heng, who also read it.


    Chang Heng looked not angry and said, "we have decided to go south to attack Wu County. I''m afraid we can''t go around with Tai Shici and Lu Xun."


    The middle-aged man said, "if you attack Wuxian, you will have your own people. You don''t need them."


    "Hiss!"


    When Yuan Qian and Chang Heng heard the speech, they suddenly took a cold breath.


    On both faces, they were stunned.


    What''s going on?


    The two men looked at the middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man said: "the order has been sent, please follow it. Goodbye. "


    The middle-aged just left.


    Yuan Qian looked at Chang Heng, and Chang Heng also looked at Yuan Qian with a puzzled look on his face.


    Zhu Qi at the moment, suddenly said: "I understand some."


    Yuan Qian said, "what do you understand?"


    Chang Heng couldn''t wait to say, "what did you understand, sir?"


    Zhu Qi said: "all this should be arranged by the commander of Sima. If one plan fails, start another plan immediately to ensure that there is always a chance to fight back and win. "


    Chang Heng said, "I don''t understand!"


    Yuan Qian did not understand and said, "tell me more about it!"


    Zhu Qi patiently explained: "this time we are going south, so far, there should be three armies.""The first army is general Chang''s army."


    "The second army is general yuan''s army."


    "The third army is the army going south to attack Wu County."


    "First of all, General Chang didn''t know about general yuan, and general yuan knew about General Chang, but he didn''t know about the third army."


    "When General Chang was able to defeat Tai Shici, general Yuan went south to attack Wu County."


    "When General Chang fails, general yuan will appear and attack taishici with a joint attack."


    "When General Chang and general yuan also failed, a third army appeared."


    "We held down Tai Shici, and the third army raided Wu County. This war can still be reversed. "


    With a look of admiration in his eyes, Zhu Qi said: "such an arrangement should be made by commander Sima. Sima''s military strategy is extremely steady and lethal. If you don''t hit it, you have a plan for the next step. "


    Chang Heng Gudong swallowed his saliva.


    There was a look of admiration in his eyes.


    Chang Heng sighed: "these scholars are really powerful. It''s said that it''s true to plan for thousands of miles away. "


    Yuan Qian said: "Sima is really powerful."


    At this moment, Yuan Qian also had to admire, no complaints.


    Yuan Qian said: "now that we have the army going south, we can''t hide all the time. We have to attract the attention of Tai Shici and let Tai Shici and Lu Xun chase us. Only in this way will he not withdraw. "


    Zhu Qi said with a smile, "I have a suggestion."


    "What advice?"


    Chang and Yuan asked at the same time.


    Zhu Qi said: "in the southwest of piling County, there is a county called Yangxian county. This county is still in the hands of the state of Chu. From Yangxian County, we can go to Wu County. It''s just too far away, and it''s across Taihu Lake. With our strength, it''s impossible to attack Wu County. But this is a strategy. We can feint at Yangxian county to attract the troops of taishici and Lu Xun. "


    With a look of appreciation in his eyes, Yuan Qian said, "yes, this is a good suggestion. The geographical location of Yangxian county is quite important, and we will certainly attract Taishi Ci and Lu Xun if we go there in a big way. "


    Chang Heng rubbed his hands and said, "let''s do it."


    Now Chang Heng''s face is full of fighting spirit.


    Everyone knew that there were reinforcements and backers, and they all felt at ease and no longer panicked.

 Chapter 779

    Wu County.


    In today''s Wu County, everything is running as usual.


    In particular, Wu Guotai, Daqiao, Sun Shao, and Sun Quan''s concubines and children were all sent to Wanling County, Danyang County, which made Wu County even more unfettered.


    Zhang Zhao handled government affairs with ease.


    Moreover, with the help of Lu Ji, Gu Yong, Zhu Zhi and others, there were no waves.


    After the surrender of Zhang Zhao, Lu Ji and others, Gu Yong, Zhu Zhi and other former officials of the state of Wu also surrendered.


    No one is loyal to Sun Quan.


    I have to say that to some extent, this is also Sun Quan''s sorrow.


    In history, the civil servants of Wu state had a kind of surrender mentality.


    During the battle of Chibi, Cao Cao led his troops south to Jingzhou. The civil servants headed by Zhang Zhao advocated surrender.


    Only when Lu Su and Zhou Yu were in charge of the battle, and Sun Quan had to fight, did the battle of Chibi come into being.


    Now Sun Quan has gone to the state of Wei, and Wu county has been conquered. Under such circumstances, who is willing to be loyal to sun? No one is so stupid.


    On this day, Zhang Zhao was handling government affairs in the government office.


    Suddenly, a valet rushed in.


    The attendant stood in front of Zhang Zhao and said in a flurry: "my Lord, it''s not good. Ten miles to the north of Wu County, a soldier of the state of Wei suddenly appeared, and now he is coming to kill Wu County. "


    Ten miles away, it doesn''t take much time.


    If it is an urgent March, it will take less time.


    As soon as Zhang Zhao''s face was solidified, his face also showed a dignified look.


    If Wu county is attacked now, it will be difficult to hold on. This is extremely dangerous.


    Zhang Zhaoceng stood up and paced back and forth.


    For now, it has to be resisted.


    Once retreated, Wu County would be completely destroyed.


    Wu county has a large amount of grain and money, which should not be lost.


    After thinking for a moment, Zhang Zhao had made up his mind and said, "go to the Lu family immediately and tell Lu Ji the news. Please send Lu Ji''s private soldiers to the North Gate Tower."


    "Here it is


    The attendant was ordered to turn around and leave.


    Zhang Zhao ordered again: "come on!"


    Suddenly, a valet came in and bowed.


    Zhang Zhao looked at the attendant and said, "arrange for two people. One will go to find Gu Yong and ask him to transfer Gu''s private soldiers to the North Gate Tower. Another person went to find Zhu Zhi and asked him to send his private soldiers to the North Gate Tower. "


    "Here it is


    The attendant turned and left in a hurry.


    In today''s Wuxian County, the main families are Zhangjia, Lujia, gujia and Zhujia.


    The rest of the small families are of little use.


    Moreover, Zhang Zhao has no time to arrange it.


    Zhang Zhao immediately returned to Zhang Jia and dispatched all his private soldiers to the North Gate Tower.


    In order to resist Wu County, Zhang Zhao is also free.


    If we don''t fight at this time, we must leave a bad impression in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    Therefore, Zhang Zhao has no choice.


    Zhang Zhao brought 1200 private soldiers, including Zhang''s attendants, who used all of them.


    One by one private soldiers equipped with weapons, and then went up the castle.


    Shortly after Zhang Zhao''s arrival, Lu Ji came with his family.


    Lu Ji brought more people than Zhang Zhao, with 1800 private soldiers.


    Zhang Zhao was also quite surprised when he heard about it. He said, "Gongji, you Lu family have 1800 private soldiers who don''t show their mountains and water. They don''t show their faces."


    Lu Ji said: "Duke Zhang is serious. It''s not for the sake of the foundation of the king of Chu. Do you have to go all out?"


    Lu Xun is sure to be reused.


    The future of the Lu family can already be predicted.


    In such a situation, Lu Ji naturally would not delay Lu Xun. Lu Ji brings along as many people as there are in the Lu family.


    With the private soldiers of Zhang Jia and Lu Jia, the number has reached 3000.


    North city itself has a thousand soldiers.


    It''s 4000 soldiers.


    Zhang Zhao was a little relieved. With this strength, he had some confidence.


    Lu Ji asked, "Mr. Zhang, how many people are there in the Wei army? Have you ever inquired? "


    Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "no, all positions. It''s less than ten miles away from Wu County, and our people get the news. Tell me, how can we find out about each other? "


    "Alas..."


    Lu Ji sighed, and his eyes were worried.


    There are 3000 private soldiers of Zhang Jia and Lu Jia, but they are family private soldiers after all.


    In terms of combat effectiveness, it can''t compare with the real elite.


    Lu Ji reluctantly smile, then no longer speak, quietly waiting.


    Not long ago, Gu Yong and Zhu Zhi came.


    Both brought their own private soldiers.Sun Quan was no longer a prisoner of Wu, but a prisoner of Wei. The state of Wu has gone through the past. Now that Wu county is in danger, they can''t just sit back and ignore it. They can only go one way to the black.


    Gu Yong went up to the city building, saw Zhang Zhao, and said, "Mr. Zhang, I have brought a thousand private soldiers. What''s going on? "


    Zhu Zhi also came up and said, "I''ve brought 800 people."


    "Good!"


    Zhang Zhao gave a smile.


    With the 1800 men of the Gu and Zhu families, Zhang Zhao has more confidence in the defense of Wu County.


    Zhang Zhao doesn''t need to stick to it.


    What Zhang Zhao wants to do is to hold Wu County temporarily.


    Once Wu County was attacked, the news would soon spread out. When Tai Shici got the news, he couldn''t sit back and ignore it.


    Zhang Zhao explained: "I just got the news that a Wei army suddenly appeared in the north and was killing Wu County. It''s only a few miles away from Wu County. "


    Gu Yong and Zhu Zhi both had dignified faces.


    I didn''t expect such a thing.


    With a smile, Zhang Zhao said with relief, "don''t worry, you two. We have nearly 6000 garrison. Three or five days later, it should be no problem. In three or five days, let alone taishici, the king of Chu will be able to support Wu County once he gets the news. "


    Gu Yong and Zhu Zhi nodded when they heard the speech.


    "Dong! Dong! "


    All of a sudden, a powerful battle drum sounded outside the city.


    The sound of war drums kept coming.


    With the sound of war drums becoming more and more intense, the soldiers of the state of Wei appeared outside the city.


    The soldiers of the state of Wei arrived.


    Zhang Zhao, Lu Ji, Gu Yong and Zhu Zhi all saw the situation on the official road in the distance and raised their hearts.


    Everyone was nervous.


    Zhang Zhao ordered: "prepare defensive equipment, prepare more Tribulus terrestris and kerosene."


    At this time, Zhang Zhao continued to arrange a defender.


    Although Zhu Zhi was a literary minister, he was also proficient in the art of war. He looked at Zhang Zhao and suggested, "Mr. Zhang, you can''t send all the soldiers on the field at one time."


    "I''d like to suggest that we divide the six thousand soldiers into six groups."


    "A thousand soldiers form a group and form an independent army."


    "After the Wei army launched an attack, we sent them one by one to resist."


    "If a group can''t support it, send Zhang Zhao to listen to Zhu Zhi''s words, and immediately say:" Zhu Zhi, this battle is under your command, and I will help you. "


    Zhu Zhi was surprised to hear that.


    Zhang Zhao said, "don''t you dare to take over the important task?"


    Zhu Zhi folded his hands and arched his hand, saying, "don''t worry, Mr. Zhang. I will live up to my trust."


    Zhang Zhao nodded and handed over the command to Zhu Zhi.


    Not to mention, Zhu Zhi is really more proficient. As soon as he made arrangements, the soldiers on the tower were divided quickly, and then each performed his own duties and was busy, preparing for the next defense.

 Chapter 780

    Outside the city of Wuxian, the Wei army came.


    When the Wei army was arrayed outside the city, a general rode out.


    His name is Zou Rui, a general under Yu Jin.


    Zou Rui''s Wei army has 20000 soldiers, which is the largest army.


    Zou Rui didn''t care about this attack on Wu County.


    Can an empty city resist?


    It''s impossible.


    Zou Rui stopped when he was 50 steps away from the tower, looked up at the tower, and yelled: "listen, the people on the tower are Zou Rui, the commander of the Wei army. Today''s army is in the city. I didn''t want to kill. Open the gate and surrender. I''ll be safe. There is no amnesty for those who resist. "


    Zhu Zhi looks at Zhang Zhao and signals him to speak.


    Zhang Zhao shook his head and waved to Zhu Zhi.


    Since it was handed over to Zhu Zhi, Zhu Zhi was responsible for everything, and he did not interfere.


    Zhu Zhi felt grateful when he heard the speech.


    Presided over the defense of Wu County, as long as the defense, this is also a meritorious service.


    When the news reaches Liu Xiu''s ears, he will also be rewarded.


    Zhu Zhi stepped forward and stood on the tower. He stared at Zou Rui and responded loudly: "Zou Rui, there is no room for your arrogance in the territory of Chu. Go back where you come from and save a dog''s life. If you are self righteous, today next year will be your memorial day. "


    Strong words came from Zhu Zhi.


    Zhu Zhi is also a man of ability, but Zhang Zhao is superior, Gu Yong and others are inferior, he is not brilliant.


    Now Zhang Zhao asked him to preside over it, which is the natural manifestation of the cone hidden in the bag.


    Hearing Zhu Zhi''s reply, Zou Rui roared: "do you really want to fight to the end?"


    Zhu Zhidao: "self righteous."


    In a word, Zou Rui was very angry.


    These damned officials of the state of Wu should work for Liu Xiu so recklessly.


    Zhu Zhi looked at Zou Rui. With a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Archer, let go."


    "Whew! Whew


    In a flash, the bow and arrow like rain, straight out of the city.


    Zou Rui didn''t dare to delay any longer when the bow and arrow of the secret script fell. He immediately turned his horse''s head and returned to the army.


    Zou Rui pointed his sword at the tower and ordered: "kill!"


    All the soldiers in Wei''s army.


    The county magistrate who attacked Wuxian county should not have the slightest drag.


    As soon as Zou Rui came up, he attacked with all his strength.


    If the attack on Wu county is protracted, it will increase the momentum of the garrison in Wu County. Therefore, Zou Rui directly arranged for 15000 soldiers to attack, leaving only 5000 soldiers in town.


    The mighty Wei army charged and soon arrived at the bottom of the city.


    A ladder, a siege vehicle, all built on the tower, and the Wei soldiers began to attack.


    Zhu Zhi told the soldiers to resist and look calm.


    In the face of Wei''s attack, he did not have the slightest bit of panic, calm command.


    Private soldiers of all families are also fighting against it.


    Zhang Zhao was also on the upper floor of the town. He inspected the city and saw that there were more and more Wei troops on the upper floor. He said, "Zhu Zhi, the soldiers of the first group can''t hold on."


    Zhu Zhi said calmly, "no, I can hold on for a while."


    The battle of defending the city is very important.


    A little time may be the key to success or failure.


    So until the last moment, Zhu Zhi will not send up the second group of soldiers.


    Zhang Zhao was anxious and could only wait.


    After all, he let Zhu Zhi direct.


    Gu Yong was also anxious in his eyes, but it didn''t help.


    They can''t fight on the battlefield.


    So all this depends on the private soldiers of the families guarding the city.


    Time goes by little.


    Zhu Zhi saw that the soldiers of the first group couldn''t hold on, and ordered: "the second group, kill!"


    The order was given, and the soldiers of the second group rushed up.


    As soon as this wave of reinforcements appeared, they forcefully killed the Wei army who rushed to the city building, and then stabilized the situation and defended Wu County.


    The movement on the tower has been observed by Zou Rui.


    Originally, he saw his soldiers attack the tower in a large scale, and he was about to seize it.


    All of a sudden, there was a counterattack on the city tower, and it took the initiative again.


    Zou Rui saw this scene and ordered a series of attacks.


    The soldiers of Wei army attacked fiercely, while the garrison of Wu County resisted.


    Time went by.


    The sun is setting. It''s evening.


    Zou Rui outside the city, temporarily ordered to retreat, no longer attack.


    His soldiers had been fighting for a day, but they had not yet conquered it, so they had to retreat temporarily and fight again after rest.


    And the garrison on the upper floor of the city was finally relieved.


    Zhu Zhi ordered the soldiers to clean the battlefield, but his face was extremely cold. Looking at Zhang Zhao, he said: "Mr. Zhang, the situation is very bad. Today''s fight, we sent close to three groups of soldiers to guard the city"The siege is different from the general fighting. We have the advantage of defending the city, but our strength is weak."


    "The strength of the other side should be more than 10000 to 20000."


    "Such a force, if we have 6000 elite soldiers and the city of Wu County, is enough to hold it."


    "However, the soldiers in the army are not strong enough to fight."


    "According to the current situation, it will be difficult to hold on to Wu County for another two days at most."


    Zhu Zhi looked solemn and said: "I''m not talking about the leak, but at this stage, Duke Zhang must consider the future. Otherwise, once the city of Wu county is broken, the consequences will be unimaginable. "


    After hearing this, Zhang Zhao frowned and his face was grim.


    It is absolutely the last choice to abandon Wu County, because once Wu county is abandoned, not only he, but also Lu Ji, Zhu Zhi, Gu Yong and other people in Wu system will leave a stain on them.


    Zhang Zhao said: "Zhu Zhi, we can''t fail. So I have to stick to it. I''ve sent for help during the day. In two days, maybe reinforcements will come. Now we have to stick to it. At present, there are only Zhangjia, Lujia, Zhujia and gujia garrison. If the damage is too great tomorrow, they will recruit again from the city and other small families. In a word, we must keep it


    Until the end, Zhang Zhao will not give up.


    Zhu Zhi was also aware of the consequences of the retreat. He nodded heavily and said, "Mr. Zhang, I''ll do my best."


    "Well!"


    Zhang Zhao nodded.


    Lu Ji suddenly said, "I have an idea."


    Zhu Zhi, Gu Yong and Zhang Zhao''s eyes fell on Lu Ji.


    In each eye, there is a look of expectation.


    Zhang Zhao said, "what can I do?"


    Lu Ji''s eyes flashed and said: "now the Wei army is in the dominant position. I don''t expect to be on guard against our sneak attack. In that case, why not attack each other overnight. As long as we win with one strike, the crisis in Wu County will be resolved naturally. "


    Zhang Zhao didn''t even think about it and said, "no way!"


    Zhu Zhi also said: "Gongji, have you ever thought about the consequences of failure?"


    Lu Ji sighed when he heard the speech.


    He naturally knew the consequences of the failure of the attack. If the attack failed, it would be difficult for him to stick to it for two days. If we don''t send troops to attack at night, we can hold on for at least two days and wait for reinforcements.


    Zhang Zhao said: "the current situation can not take risks, so the strategy remains unchanged, continue to defend."


    "Here it is


    When everyone hears the words, they should go down.


    Zhang Zhao discussed with the crowd again, arranged defense, and then went down to have a rest.

 Chapter 781

    Wu County, somewhere in the south.


    An army is coming slowly.


    In the army, big flags flutter in the air, hunting.


    On the big flag is engraved a big Chu character.


    There is also a big flag engraved with big yellow characters.


    This army is the Chu army.


    Huang Zhong is the leader of the army.


    When taishici invaded and captured Wu County, Huang Zhong was still in Kuaiji County, and did not thoroughly clean up the stubborn resistance of Wu army in Kuaiji county.


    Now, he has just entered the territory of Wu County.


    The army marched forward towards Wu County.


    Huang Zhong led the way, but he was not in a hurry.


    Wu county has been taken, and taishicidu has been pursuing the enemy. What''s his hurry?


    Until noon.


    It''s a bit overcast.


    Huang Zhong looked up at the sky where the dark clouds were gathering, and said, "order, the army will rest in place. Auxiliary soldiers prepare lunch. "


    The messenger delivered the message immediately.


    Soon the army stopped.


    Huang Zhong also found a stone to sit down. What he thought was that he was going to ask Liu Xiu for a fight.


    The war in the state of Wu ended.


    Next, I will fight with the state of Wei.


    If you have been stationed in Jiaozhou, you will never have the chance to go to the battlefield.


    Since he went north to Wu County and joined the battlefield, Huang Zhong naturally did not want to miss this opportunity.


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, a quick voice rang out.


    The sound of the horse''s hooves came, and a sentry came running. He stopped in front of Huang Zhong and said, "general, Wu county has been attacked by the Wei army. Wu county is short of garrison. It''s estimated that it won''t be long. "


    Huang Zhong raised his eyebrows and looked surprised.


    Wu county is the center of the country. How can it be attacked.


    But now, Huang Zhong can''t manage so much. He asked, "how many people are there in the Wei army?"


    "Twenty thousand people are expected," the sentinel said


    "Twenty thousand?"


    Huang Zhong sneered twice and ordered: "send Zang Xiong to see me."


    The sentry retreated, and the soldiers went to inform him immediately.


    After a while, a powerful general came quickly and said, "general!"


    Huang Zhong''s eyes were solemn, and he said, "mobilize your 6000 cavalry, and prepare to charge with our general."


    Six thousand iron cavalry are the absolute elite of Huang Zhong''s army.


    Stationed in Jiaozhou, Huang Zhong naturally had both cavalry and infantry. However, Huang Zhong did not casually expand his cavalry. He constantly strengthened his cavalry training and trained a cavalry, which was the elite who would conquer and win.


    "Here it is


    Zang Xiong should hold his fist and turn around to arrange it.


    Huang Zhong looked at Ma Liang and said, "military strategist, Wu County was attacked by the Wei army. The general led his troops to support Wu County in order to resolve the crisis. You lead the troops and then come here. By the way, you will blockade the surrounding checkpoints and prepare to encircle and suppress the Wei army. "


    Ma Liang has been more and more magnanimous in Jiaozhou these years.


    "Be careful, general," he said with a smile


    Huang Zhong big sleeve a brush, way: "a group of local chicken tile dog, not worth mentioning."


    With a knife in his hand, he turned the dock and headed for the army.


    It was not long before he came to the front of the army.


    At this time, Zang Xiong had already led 6000 cavalry in formation, waiting for Huang Zhong''s order.


    "Let''s go!"


    Huang Zhong gave the order.


    The army set out and galloped.


    The sound of horse''s hoof, the sound of horse''s neighing, the sound of shouting, mixed together, reverberated in the air.


    The smoke and dust all over the sky rises where the horses run.


    Six thousand cavalry, like tigers and wolves, went straight to Wu County.


    At this time, Wu County was still under attack.


    Even at noon, Zou Rui did not have a trace of rest. At noon, the soldiers of the state of Wei who attacked Wu County ate in turn, and then attacked in turn.


    With his own strength, Zou Rui believes that he can capture Wu County.


    It''s just that if it''s too late, it will change.


    The longer the time goes on, the easier it is to bring about changes.


    Under such circumstances, Zou Rui simply launched an attack at noon.


    On the tower and outside the city, there were already corpses everywhere.


    The shouting continued.


    The soldiers of the state of Wei attacked the city wave by wave.


    Even though the garrison on the upper floor of the city sprinkled countless Tribulus terrestris, there were too many Wei troops attacking the city. Iron tribulus could not stop the Wei army, so the Wei army rushed forward one after another.


    Zhu Zhi remained calm in command in the face of crisis.


    He divided six thousand soldiers into six groups. Up to now, the fifth group has been dispatched.


    The fighting on the castle became more and more fierce.


    The soldiers of Wei army were red eyed, but the morale of the soldiers guarding the city began to decline."Boom!"


    Under the tower, the siege car hit the gate.


    The gate of the city is shaking endlessly, which makes the soldiers who guard the city scared.


    "Boom!"


    One after another, the sound of impact is still ringing.


    Zhu Zhi saw that the situation was getting worse and worse, but he arranged the sixth group of soldiers ahead of time.


    At this time, it was the second day of guarding the city.


    According to Zhu Zhi''s prediction, we should stick to it for at least another day.


    However, as time went on, the morale of the city guards became lower and lower, and their combat effectiveness became weaker and weaker.


    As a result, the garrison will be disadvantaged.


    Zhu Zhi came to Zhang Zhao''s side and said, "Mr. Zhang, I''m afraid it''s difficult to persist in today''s situation. At this point, we have to find a way. Otherwise, we will all be trapped here. "


    Zhang Zhao''s face was cold and deep.


    He was disgraced to withdraw from Wu County.


    With the withdrawal of Wu County, the foundation of Zhang''s family has also been lost.


    Zhang Zhao was not reconciled.


    Zhang zhaoshen took a breath and said, "Zhu Zhi, stick to it again. Maybe our reinforcements are coming. "


    Zhang Zhao is not confident when he says this.


    How can there be reinforcements in such a short time?


    But Zhang Zhao was not willing to give up.


    He will not give up until he is at the end of his tether.


    After listening to Zhang Zhao''s words, Zhu Zhi sighed and said, "it''s all right. I''ll stick to it again."


    In desperation, Zhu Zhi had to stick to it.


    Outside the city, Zou Rui commanded the army to attack the city.


    Zou Rui naturally sees the situation on the upper floor of the city. Seeing that the Chu army guarding the city is at the end of the storm, Zou Rui is excited. Wu county is the home of the state of Wu. He has all kinds of food and weapons. If he breaks Wu County, he can replenish the army.


    "Beat the drum and the whole army will charge."


    Zou Rui gave the order.


    "Dong! Dong


    With the sound of war drums, all the troops under Zou Rui launched an attack.


    All the Wei troops rushed up.


    This is Zou Rui''s attack.


    All of a sudden, Zou Rui''s ears moved. He felt that the ground was shaking.


    What''s going on?


    Zou Rui looks back and sweeps. In a flash, Zou Rui stares big eyes.


    Behind him, on the official road in the distance.


    The smoke and dust all over the sky rose to the sky.


    The horses galloped forward, trampling on the ground as if the ground were shaking.


    Chu cavalry?


    Zou Rui was shocked when he attacked the rear


    It''s just that the order for a full-scale attack has just been given, and all the soldiers are charging.


    At the moment, the Wei army had no time to turn around.

 Chapter 782

    On the tower.


    Zhu Zhi is already struggling to lose.


    Suddenly, Zhu Zhi saw the cavalry coming from outside the city.


    I saw the big flag flying in the wind.


    Reinforcements are coming.


    Zhu Zhi''s heart, suddenly excited, roared: "reinforcements are coming, our reinforcements are here."


    The soldiers defending on the tower also found reinforcements outside the city.


    Zhang Zhao also saw that he could not really see the situation outside the city, but at this time, it must be reinforcements.


    At this moment, Zhang Zhao was also relieved.


    When reinforcements arrived, Wu county held on.


    In this way, Zhang Zhao, Zhu Zhi, Lu Ji, Gu Yong and others have made great achievements.


    Zhu Zhi kept yelling for the soldiers to counterattack.


    After seeing the reinforcements, the soldiers, who were already dying and their energy and spirit were exhausted, were all very excited. They fought with their swords and began to counterattack.


    The Wei army also found the rear army.


    When they learned that they were ambushed, their hearts sank.


    The morale of the army has been damaged.


    The attack of the Wei soldiers was immediately frustrated.


    When the situation on the upper floor of the city quietly changed, Huang Zhong''s cavalry outside the city had reached the rear of the Wei army.


    At this moment, the Wei army could not cope.


    Zou Rui sent all the soldiers up. In a hurry, he couldn''t send them to resist.


    It''s too late. It''s too soon. Huang Zhong is among the soldiers.


    Huang Zhong''s eyes were solemn. His eyes fell on the position where the Wei army''s flag was. He swung a long knife in his hand and roared: "Huang Zhong is here. Those who block me will die!"


    Powerful voice, murderous.


    "Kill


    Huang Zhong, holding a knife, keeps chopping.


    The Wei soldiers who stood in front of Huang Zhong were killed one after another.


    The soldiers who follow Huang Zhong can also be stopped by Reebok.


    Six thousand cavalry showed their fighting power and entered the Wei army.


    Where you have been, you are invincible.


    Zou Rui saw that Huang Zhong was rampant. On the one hand, he dispatched soldiers to resist, on the other hand, he turned over to mount the horse and went straight to Huang Zhong with a big gun. If we don''t stop the other side''s attack, the army will be defeated.


    "Don''t be wild, old Huang Zhong."


    Zou Rui heard Huang Zhong''s words and was surprised to learn that it would be Huang Zhong.


    He knows Huang Zhong.


    As the chief General of Liu Xiu''s second army, Huang Zhong is old and strong. Although he is an old man, he is still on duty in the army.


    As the gun sweeps, Zou Rui kills the Chu soldiers in front of him and pounces on Huang Zhong.


    They both went straight to each other.


    What Huang Zhong hates most is that others call him old.


    He is old, but his heart is not.


    Huang Zhong glared at him angrily. He tried to cut through the sword and said, "kill me!"


    The blade swung up and slashed down.


    Zou Rui was also born with supernatural power. He was a master of Arts. He was brave. He grasped the big gun with both hands and directly met the king with a move.


    "Dang!"


    The blade cleaved on the barrel of the gun forged with fine iron.


    In a flash, sparks were flying.


    "Herod!"


    Zou Rui smashes Huang Zhong''s sword with force. Then the point of the spear turns and goes straight to Huang Zhong''s heart.


    At this time, there are soldiers all around.


    Huang Zhong''s horse can''t rush forward quickly.


    People in the war horse, suddenly Zou Rui attack heart, he can''t escape.


    He fell back suddenly and fell on the horse''s back with a slap.


    At that moment, the spear was empty.


    Huang Zhong''s face turned red, and his waist and abdomen suddenly made a force. He took advantage of Zou Rui''s stab, lifted up his landing knife and tilted the blade upward.


    The sharp blade leaves a sharp light in the air.


    Zou Rui saw the blade coming and wanted to avoid it.


    But Huang Zhong''s knife came quickly and quickly, especially when Huang Zhong sat up from his horse. Zou Rui didn''t expect that Huang Zhong would be attacked by a knife.


    "Yes


    The blade touches Zou Rui''s armor.


    The armor broke and the blade penetrated the skin of the chest.


    A knife breaks into, Zou Rui is opened intestines to break belly, directly on the ground, the body twitches two times, then no longer breath.


    "The thief will be dead, and those who fall will not be killed!"


    Huang Zhong charged with his cavalry and roared.


    The accompanying cavalry also kept shouting.


    All of a sudden, the soldiers of the state of Wei didn''t see Zou Rui, but also saw the Wei army who killed Zou Rui surrender.


    For a time, the Wei army was defeated like a mountain.


    Under the cover of cavalry, the Wei army under Zou Rui was completely scattered.


    Zhu Zhi was commanding on the upper floor of the city. Seeing that Huang Zhong''s cavalry had scattered the Wei army, he no longer hesitated and ordered: "beat the drum, open the gate of the city to counterattack."At this point, Zhu Zhi was no longer worried.


    The order was given, and soon there was a rumble of war drums.


    "Creak!"


    The gates open, the suspension bridge down.


    All the soldiers in the city were quickly killed and directly attacked the Wei soldiers outside the city.


    The Wei army was even more difficult to resist the attack of the two armies.


    For a moment, the crisis in Wuxian County disappeared.


    Huang Zhong took the soldiers to cover up for an hour, and finally returned to Wu County.


    At this time, Zhu Zhi had arranged for soldiers to clean up the battlefield.


    All the dead soldiers were burned, and so were all the dead Wei soldiers.


    After cleaning the battlefield, it was evening.


    Zhang Zhao, Zhu Zhi and others welcomed Huang Zhong into the city and sat down in the government office.


    Zhang Zhao stroked his beard under his jaw and said gratefully, "thanks to General Huang''s timely rescue, Wu county has been able to turn the corner this time. If General Huang is half a day late, Wu County will not be able to defend it. "


    Huang Zhong said with a smile: "Zhang Gong is serious."


    As for Zhang Zhao, Huang Zhong knew that he did not despise Zhang Zhao just because he surrendered to Liu Xiu.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came in and reported: "my Lord, a large number of troops have arrived in Wu County. They are the troops of the state of Chu."


    Huang Zhong said with a smile: "it should be the soldiers under the general. Mr. Zhang, we will go out of the city to settle the soldiers first. If there is anything else, we will discuss it later. "


    "Good!"


    Zhang Zhaohe and others sent Zhu Zhaozhong away.


    Several people returned to the government.


    It didn''t take long for another soldier to come back.


    The soldier reported: "my Lord, the results of this battle have been counted. We have a total of over 5800 soldiers, of whom only 600 are left, and the remaining 5200 are dead. And many of these 600 people were injured. "


    Zhang Zhao, Zhu Zhi and others were very heavy.


    Most of the soldiers who died in the war were private soldiers from different families.


    Zhang Zhao said: "according to the pension, the pension of the pension, the treatment of the treatment, can not be shirked."


    "Here it is


    The soldier answered, turned and went down.


    Zhang Zhao looked at Zhu Zhi and said with a smile, "Zhu Zhi, it''s thanks to you that Wu county can keep it. When I address the king of Chu, I will tell him everything. "


    Zhu Zhi said, "thank you, Mr. Zhang."


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, another soldier came.


    The soldier entered the room and reported, "your honor, a sentinel has just come to convey the message. The army of the king of Chu has entered the territory of Wu County. It is expected that the army of the king of Chu will arrive in Wuxian before midnight tonight. "


    "I see!"


    Zhang Zhao waved the soldiers back.


    With a serious look on his face, Zhang Zhao looked at Zhu Zhi and others and said, "it seems that the king of Chu also got the situation of Wu County, so he came here in a hurry. Here comes the king of Chu. Let''s get ready and welcome him tonight. "


    Zhu Zhi, Lu Ji and Gu Yong all nodded heavily.


    In the hearts of several people, they are looking forward to it, but they are also worried.


    How will Liu Xiu arrange them, or the position.

 Chapter 783

    Huang Zhong, who settled soldiers outside the city, soon got the news.


    After settling down the soldiers, Huang Zhong entered the city and discussed with Zhang Zhao, Lu Ji and others about the reception.


    Time goes by little.


    The night is getting late.


    The city was silent and the streets were deserted.


    On the west gate of Wu County, a group of people gathered.


    Huang Zhong, Ma Liang, Zhang Zhao, Lu Ji, Gu Yong and Zhu Zhi all gathered here.


    Everyone in Ximen is waiting for Liu Xiu.


    The night was deep and the cold wind howled.


    But in everyone''s heart, it is a piece of expectation.


    "Da! Dada


    Suddenly, the sound of a horse''s hoof came from the official road outside the city.


    A sentry came running directly into the city, then came to the tower and reported: "my Lord, the king of Chu is still two quarters of an hour away from the city."


    "I see!"


    Zhang Zhao waved.


    The sentry stepped down, and Zhang Zhaohe, Huang Zhong and others continued to wait.


    Time goes by little.


    Zhang Zhao looks up and forgets that although he can''t really see the situation outside the city, he sees a fire on the official road in the distance.


    Bright fire, moving slowly.


    Here we go!


    Zhang Zhao suddenly raised his heart and said, "General Huang, the king''s chariot of the king of Chu is coming. Let''s wait at the gate. "


    "Good!"


    Huang Zhong responded directly.


    Two people with the main civil servants, generals down the tower, waiting at the gate of the city.


    At this time, the fire is getting closer and closer to the tower.


    When the distance between the two sides was less than 100 Zhang, the soldiers on the upper floor of the city and the soldiers on the march outside the city could finally see the troops coming.


    The army in the front is the cavalry of the flying tiger camp.


    Then, shamoko''s barbarians.


    The two armies opened the way, and in the middle was Liu Xiu''s Wang Jia, and in the end was the rear infantry.


    When the army was less than a hundred paces away from Wu County, the cavalry stopped and gave way for Liu Xiu to advance.


    Liu Xiu''s Wang Jia moved forward slowly and came to the front.


    The carriage stopped outside the city.


    The curtain of the carriage door rolled up and Liu Xiu stepped out of the carriage.


    At this time, Zhang Zhao, Huang Zhong and others came up to Liu Xiu, bowed their hands and said, "I''ll see the king of Chu."


    Liu xiudao: "you don''t have to be polite."


    Looking at so many people greeting him, Liu Xiu said, "it''s late at night, and you don''t have to guard any more. Huang Zhong, Ma Su, Zhang Zhao, Zhu Zhi, Gu Yong and Lu Ji stayed. The rest of them scattered and went back to their respective homes to have a rest. The king will summon you. "


    "Here it is


    After hearing the words, the crowd dispersed.


    There are Zhang Zhao, Zhu Zhi and others left, but they are not worried.


    After the officials dispersed, Liu Xiu asked the army to set up camp in Huang Zhong''s camp, and then went directly to the big account bank of the Chinese army.


    Take your seat.


    Liu Xiu, FA Zheng, Huang Zhong, Zhang Zhao and others were seated.


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Zhao and said, "Mr. Zhang, I already know about the attack on Wu County. Thanks to the cooperation of Zhang Jia, Lu Jia, Zhu Jia and Gu Jia, they spared no effort to send private soldiers to resist. "


    "The king of Chu is serious. It''s his duty. And the four families didn''t hold on. At the critical moment, it was General Huang who led the army to arrive that resolved the crisis in Wu County. "


    Zhang Zhao quickly humbled himself.


    Zhu Zhi, Lu Ji and Gu Yong also spoke one after another.


    The four men were capitulators and did not dare to put on airs in front of Liu Xiu.


    It''s true that they have contributed to the defense of their family, but without Huang Zhong, it would be difficult to defend Wu County.


    Liu Xiu appreciated the four families.


    If Wu county is attacked and Zhang Zhao and his men leave, the loss of Wu County will have a great impact.


    Now that Wu county is held, the overall situation of Wu County will not be affected.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Zhong and said, "Hansheng, thanks to you."


    Huang Zhong hugged his fists and said, "the king is wrong. If Zhang Gong and others didn''t fight to the death, I''m afraid that they would arrive in Wu County. Even if they recaptured Wu County, it would be a ruin. "


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly.


    In this war, we can''t do without Zhang Zhao and others, but we can''t do without Huang Zhong.


    Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "the king has made his own arrangements for the contributions of the heroes in this war. Mr. Zhang, what do you think of the officials of the counties and counties in the state of Wu? "


    This issue involves the adjustment of officials.


    If the state of Wu had surrendered, the officials would certainly adjust, otherwise Liu Xiu would not be able to rest assured.


    But how to adjust it is extremely important.


    Zhang Zhao looks up at Liu Xiu. He thinks in his heart, is Liu Xiu really asking, or is there another intention?


    Liu Xiu said, "just say it, I want to hear your opinion."After hearing this, Zhang Zhao took a deep breath and said, "my Lord, I think the arrangement strategy of Wu officials should be a small adjustment at the county level and a big adjustment at the county level."


    Liu Xiu asked, "what''s the meaning of this?"


    Zhang Zhao explained: "although the counties of Wu state are not spacious and can not be compared with Chu and Wei States, they also have several counties under their jurisdiction."


    "If you want to replace all the officials, I''m afraid that Chu can''t transfer so many people at one time."


    "And if they are all replaced, it is easy to cause turbulence."


    "So my suggestion is that the officials at the prefecture level of the former state of Wu should be exchanged among the counties of the state of Wu."


    "That way, they won''t react too much."


    "As for officials at the county level, this is fundamental. To make sure the counties are under the control of the king. I suggest that all the county magistrates with outstanding abilities be transferred from the state of Chu and exchanged with the county magistrates of the state of Wu. "


    "County magistrate of Wu state, go to Chu state to be a county magistrate."


    "The county magistrate of the state of Chu should be the county magistrate of every county in the state of Wu."


    "In this way, although the prefects of the counties are still in the state of Wu, in fact, their control over the county level will be weakened, and the king can directly control the counties."


    "For a long time, every county is willing to be king. And the county magistrate of the state of Wu who worked in the counties of the state of Chu will soon be assimilated. "


    "As for the governors of small adjustments, after small-scale adjustments, they can adjust slowly."


    Zhang Zhao talked bluntly and said a general policy.


    After listening, Liu Xiu''s eyes were bright.


    Zhang Zhao''s suggestion is very good. With this arrangement, Liu Xiu can control the counties of Wu state in a short time. As long as the transition was smooth, all the counties of Wu state soon turned to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu praised him: "Duke Zhang is worthy of being sun''s senior official and has outstanding ability. Zhang Gong''s plan was adopted by the king. "


    Zhang Zhao said, "King Shengming."


    Liu Xiu thought in his heart and said, "Duke Zhang has outstanding talents, so he was transferred to the central office of the state of Chu and served as the chief historian of the palace of the king of Chu. Is Mr. Zhang willing to surrender? "


    Zhang Zhao arched his hand and said, "I''d like to!"


    The chief historian of the Chu king''s mansion is an official position close to Liu Xiu''s core.


    Although this is not the core center of Chu for the time being, it is the core of Chu palace.


    As long as he had a foothold in the Chu palace and became a minister of the Chu Kingdom, it was just around the corner.


    Lu Ji, Gu Yong, Zhu Zhi and others were envious of the speech.


    Zhang Zhao has ascended to the sky.


    But if you think about it, it''s not surprising that Zhang Zhao helped sun''s two generations to make great contributions in Jiangdong.


    It''s also normal for Liu Xiu to be subordinated and reused.


    Liu Xiu said: "Mr. Zhang, you are responsible for the adjustment of Wu officials. If you need to adjust, just go to Kuai Liang and Yi Ji. They will help you. "


    "Here it is


    Zhang Zhao bowed his hand to answer the question.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Lu Ji, Gu Yong and Zhu Zhi.


    Lu Ji, Gu Yong and Zhu Zhi should not miss Zhang Zhao''s reward.

 Chapter 784

    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Lu Ji, listen to the order!"


    "I''m in a humble position!"


    Lu Ji stood up and saluted.


    At this time, Lu Ji''s heart is also quite excited.


    As a person who had been subordinated to Liu Xiu from the beginning, now Liu Xiu has made great contributions to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said: "when the state of Chu and the state of Wu were at war, you went to the rear of the state of Wu to make Zhang Gong submit to the state of Chu, and to make Zhang Liao and Xun you go to the state of Chu Your credit is in my heart. Today, I appoint you as governor of Yangzhou. "


    Lu Ji arched his hand and said, "I can live up to the great expectations of the king."


    Lu Ji is very excited at the moment.


    He thought of Liu Xiuhui''s reward in his heart, but he didn''t expect such a reward.


    Let him be the governor of Yangzhou.


    In other words, he is now in charge of Yangzhou.


    Gu Yong and Zhu Zhi were also extremely surprised at the moment, because Liu Xiu gave too much.


    You know, Lu Ji is from the state of Wu.


    Now Liu Xiu directly appointed Lu Ji as the governor of Yangzhou.


    But when they thought of Liu Xiu, they were relieved.


    Zhang Zhao surrendered to Chu first, Xun you, Zhang Liao sent to Chu later When these two things happened, the state of Wu still existed. This means that Lu Ji has already been subordinated to the state of Chu, and the Lu family has already been subordinated to the state of Chu.


    For this reason, it''s reasonable to reward Lu Ji.


    Liu Yongzhi and Gu Xiuzhi also looked at them.


    Gu Yong had the talent of prime minister and Zhu Zhi had the ability to use troops.


    Both of them are talents.


    Liu Xiu said: "Gu Yong and Zhu Zhi, I know your talents. You have also made great contributions in resisting the attack of the Wei army. But let you as a prefect, but also condescending. Why don''t you stay with me for a while? "


    Gu Yong arched his hand and said, "I''m willing to be humble."


    Zhu Zhi also said, "I''m willing to be humble."


    Neither is shortsighted.


    To be able to stay with Liu Xiu is the real opportunity and development.


    The state of Chu unified the state of Wu, and a decisive battle with Cao Cao is just around the corner.


    In today''s situation, everyone knows that Chu has the possibility of dominating the country.


    Stay with Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu will become emperor in the future, then they will be ministers from the dragon.


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly with a smile on his face.


    If Gu Yong and Zhu Zhi were not willing, Liu Xiu would not force them. He wanted to cultivate them, but only if they were willing. Looking at the current situation, it''s not bad.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "it''s late at night. Let''s go down and have a rest."


    "Here it is


    When they heard this, they all left and stepped down.


    Only Huang Zhong stayed, and Huang Zhong said: "king, Tai Shici is chasing the fleeing Wei army. At last, he asked for a fight and went north to attack Guangling county. Now it''s time for the two armies to fight each other. "


    It is Huang Zhong''s will to fight north.


    Huang Zhong didn''t want to and didn''t want to miss the battle against Cao.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "don''t worry about Hansheng. When the war starts, I will arrange for you to participate."


    "Thank you very much," said Huang Zhong


    Liu xiudao: "go down and have a rest. You''ve been busy all day."


    "Here it is


    Huang Zhong turned and stepped down.


    Fazheng sat aside, waiting for Huang Zhong to step down, and said, "king, the state of Wu has won, and our water army is blocking the Yangtze River. It is not difficult to clear the water army in the south. I think it''s time to prepare for war with Cao Cao. Both Nanyang and Luoyang are ready. "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu said, "wait a minute."


    After hearing this, Fazheng was disappointed, but he didn''t show it, so he dismissed him.


    Liu Xiu sat in the tent, but did not immediately go to rest.


    What Liu Xiu thought was that Fazheng mentioned attacking Cao Cao.


    Liu Xiu really began to prepare for the attack on Cao Cao early. Whether it was Zhang Ren in Nanyang or wenpin in Luoyang, he was ready. As long as Liu Xiu gave an order, he could attack Cao Cao immediately.


    But Yangzhou is unstable, Liu Xiu can''t attack Cao Cao with all his strength, otherwise there will be turbulence in Yangzhou, and Liu Xiu will be hard to deal with.


    Liu Xiu checked the information and went to rest.


    ¡­¡­


    Yangxian county.


    Yuan Qian and Chang Heng entered with their troops.


    The night was deep and the wind was cold.


    Both men''s soldiers rely on the fire to make fire, but they are also in a mess.


    On the way from piling county to Yangxian County, the army led by Tai Shici was in hot pursuit, which made the Wei army tired.


    Yuan Qian, Chang Heng, Zhu Qi and others relied on the fire to keep warm.


    Yuan Qian looked tired and said, "Zhu Qi, the situation is becoming more and more dangerous."


    "We avoided the attack of Chu Army today, but it will be difficult tomorrow.""Once caught up by the Chu army, we can hardly get rid of it."


    "If we attack Yangxian county with our present strength, we will certainly not be able to win, and we do not have enough time."


    "Before that, we brought taishici here, and we can survive until now by relying on the grain in the valley of piling county."


    "Along the way, there is less and less food."


    "If we go on like this, I''m afraid we won''t be able to hold on."


    In Yuan Qian''s eyes, he was deeply worried.


    Because he has been working hard, it is impossible to replenish food, and the soldiers under his command are also very hard. Under such circumstances, the army of Yuan Qian and Chang Heng became more and more dangerous.


    Zhu Qi frowned and said, "count the time. Wu county should be at war. Just for the time being, we haven''t heard from you yet. "


    Chang Heng said: "today''s news, at least tomorrow afternoon."


    Zhu Qi said: "general yuan and General Chang, bear with it again and stick to it again. As long as Wu county is broken, we can turn over. "


    Yuan Qian said, "what if it doesn''t work?"


    At this time, Yuan Qian, under fatigue, has become increasingly worried.


    Zhu Qi was silent when he heard the speech.


    If the army attacking Wu county also fails, there will be no chance for this war.


    Zhu Qi took a deep breath and said, "general, we still have a chance. After all, Wu county has no garrison. Tai Shici and Lu Xun killed us together. They were mobilized. Wu county is an empty city. "


    Yuan Qian said, "I hope so."


    Chang Heng glanced at Yuan Qian and said, "Yuan Qian, don''t be disheartened. You look like your parents are dead. You are a general of the Wei army. We should consider the worst situation. Even if we are defeated, we will go north and retreat. "


    Yuan Qian nodded.


    The night was getting darker and colder.


    All the soldiers of Wei army rest on the fire.


    The night passed.


    It''s getting late and late in October.


    The Wei soldiers who got up in the morning simply ate dry food, and the whole army continued on their way.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came quickly.


    The soldier rode to Yuan Qian and said in a loud voice, "general, the Chu army is less than 30 li away from us."


    Brush!!


    Yuan Qian''s face changed slightly.


    It''s less than 30 miles. If it''s an emergency March, it won''t take half a day.


    Yuan Qian asked the sentry to step back and ordered, "go at full speed."


    When the order was given, Yuan Qian and Chang Heng mobilized the soldiers and ran to Chaoyang County as fast as they could. However, he did not run to the county seat of Yangxian County, but to the Taihu Lake estuary to the east of Yangxian county.

 Chapter 785

    When Yuan Qian and Chang Heng led the army to retreat, Tai Shici led the army to pursue.


    As the army advanced, the Sentinels kept sending back news.


    When the news came back that Yuan Qian, Chang Heng and others had gone to Taihu Lake, Tai Shici just sneered.


    Heaven has its way, but it has to go to Taihu Lake.


    This group of Wei army is looking for a dead end.


    Taishici determined the direction of the other side, there will be no delay, and even the soldiers will not rest, with the fastest speed.


    Compared with the Wei army, taishici''s soldiers were still effective.


    The soldiers are not worried about food and clothing, and they are in good spirits.


    Most importantly, the Fourth Army soldiers under the command of Tarshis were holding a breath in their hearts.


    When the fourth army was in piling City, it was ambushed by the Wei army.


    If Lu Xun didn''t arrive, the Fourth Army under taishici would be defeated.


    Under such circumstances, the soldiers of the Fourth Army wanted to avenge themselves and wash away their previous humiliation.


    The soldiers kept on going, a little bit closer.


    Twenty five miles!


    Twenty miles!


    Fifteen miles!


    Ten li!


    The distance between the two sides is narrowing little by little.


    As Tai Shici led the soldiers closer and closer to the Wei army, his heart began to get excited.


    The decisive battle is about to begin.


    As the distance between the two sides gradually gets closer, the distance between the two sides is also getting closer.


    Yuan Qian and Chang Heng led the soldiers of the state of Wei, and their hearts became tense.


    They are now isolated and defeated. Once they are overtaken by the soldiers under taishici''s command, they will surely lose the battle.


    "Newspaper!"


    A sentry ran to Yuan Qian''s side.


    Sentinel report: "general yuan, the pursuit of the Chu army, less than eight miles away from us."


    Bali road is not difficult for the troops who are on the way at full speed.


    As long as the Wei army is overtaken, it will be dangerous.


    Yuan Qian waved the sentry back, and his face became more and more serious.


    At this time, the distance from Taihu Lake is getting closer and closer.


    "Newspaper!"


    Another sentinel flew back.


    The sentry came not from the rear, but from the Bank of Taihu Lake.


    The sentinel looked excited and said, "general yuan, the ships at the Bank of Taihu Lake are ready. As soon as our troops arrive, they will be able to board and leave."


    "Good!"


    After hearing this, Yuan Qian couldn''t help crying out.


    As long as the ships were ready, Yuan Qian was not worried that the army would soon be overtaken.


    Yuan Qian drove his horse on the way. He came to Chang Heng and said, "Lao Chang, the Chu army in the rear is getting closer and closer to us. We will soon reach the shore of Taihu Lake and wait for the army to arrive. After leading a part of our soldiers on the boat, they will enter Taihu Lake


    Chang Heng didn''t even want to think about it. He flatly said, "no, how can I make you stop."


    After the break, it means that life and death are hard to predict.


    Although Chang Heng knew the danger, he and Yuan Qian were comrades in arms and could not watch yuan Qian die.


    Chang Heng said: "after arranging a team of soldiers to be cut off, you can''t stay."


    Yuan Qian shook his head and said: "our soldiers are already exhausted. If there is no commander in chief, it will be hard to resist the fierce Chu army. Only I can lead the soldiers to delay. Well, I didn''t discuss it with you. It''s settled. "


    Chang Heng opened his mouth and finally sighed.


    The army is on its way.


    It is less than five miles away from Taihu Lake.


    Four miles!


    Three miles!


    When Yuan Qian and Chang Heng led the soldiers to the Bank of Taihu Lake, they saw a ship on the bank.


    "Come on, come on, get on the boat and get ready to leave."


    Chang Heng gave the order directly.


    Under the command of the Wei soldiers, one by one quickly forward, toward the shore on the edge of the boat line.


    These soldiers of the state of Wei were not good at sailing, but now they had no choice.


    Groups of soldiers boarded the ship.


    Chang Heng and Zhu Qi finally wait to upload, but before the soldiers get on the boat completely, Tai Shici leads the soldiers to come.


    When Yuan Qian saw that Tai Shici was leading the army to kill him, he ordered: "line up


    At this time, Yuan Qian had only 800 soldiers around him.


    Eight hundred Wei soldiers lined up in front of the bank, blocking the way of Chu army.


    Taishici came with his troops and looked at the Wei troops in the array. He said with a smile: "don''t worry, I didn''t intend to fight in the array. Looking back, can the Wei army escape from Taihu Lake? "


    When Yuan Qian heard the news, his eyes narrowed and his heart thumped.


    "Dong! Dong


    All of a sudden, the mighty sound of war drums came from the Taihu Lake.The mighty sound reverberates on the Taihu Lake.


    With the sound of war drums coming, big ships appeared one by one at the meeting.


    A warship, chopping waves, driving from.


    On the big ship, there is a big flag.


    On top of the flag is embroidered the word "Lu" of Dou Da, and the visitor is Lu Xun. At the beginning, he joined hands with Tai Shici to pursue Taihu Lake, but in the end, he decided that Taihu Lake was a mistake, so he led his troops to take a detour by water and came to Taihu Lake to wait.


    Yuan Qian''s eyes widened when he saw this scene.


    How is that possible?


    How did Lu Xun suddenly appear from the water.


    At this moment, Yuan Qian was completely confused and his heart fell into the abyss.


    It''s over!


    Yuan Qian knew the current situation, and they could not avoid it.


    Large ships appeared on the shore of Taihu Lake.


    These big ships blocked the retreat of all the small boats, making Chang Heng and others unable to leave.


    Chang Heng stood on the rickety boat and looked at the boat not far away. His face was solemn and full of tears.


    Yuan Qian is on the shore, but he is on the water.


    Facing the warships of Chu army, he and his soldiers had no room for resistance.


    The war drums stopped.


    On the bow.


    Lu Xun ordered: "those who fall will not be killed, and those who resist will not be pardoned."


    With this order, big ships surrounded all the small boats.


    As long as the Wei army resisted, Lu Xun would crush it. There is no need to fight, no need to fight, just need to roll up the ship, it is enough to crush all the Wei army.


    Chang Heng swallowed his saliva and looked startled.


    Zhu Qi sighed: "General Chang, the matter has come to this point. It''s not that you are unfaithful, but that the situation is like this. Let''s go down."


    "You..."


    Chang Heng is angry.


    However, Chang Heng has no way.


    Chang Heng took a deep breath and ordered, "we are willing to surrender."


    At his command, all the nerves of the Wei army were relaxed.


    Chang Heng orders surrender, and they are no longer in danger.


    The news of Chang Heng''s order spread immediately. When Yuan Qian found out, he no longer resisted. He threw away his weapons and said, "I surrender."


    By land, there''s an army of Tarshis.


    There is Lu Xun''s water army on the waterway.


    The Wei army had no choice but to surrender.


    As soon as Yuan Qian surrendered, the sound of weapons falling sounded, and soldiers threw away their weapons one after another, then knelt down and asked to surrender.


    Yuan Qian and Chang Heng surrendered one after another.


    This is the end of the war.


    Taishici arranged for the soldiers to collect the weapons of the Wei soldiers, and then put all the surrendered Wei soldiers in custody, and put them on the ship brought by Lu Xun, heading for Wu County.

 Chapter 786

    Guangling county.


    Cao''s base camp was stationed here.


    However, there are only a few troops left in Guangling County today, that is, more than 30000 elite troops.


    These more than 30000 elite soldiers are from the bottom of the box.


    During this time, Yu Jin''s heart has been quite uneasy.


    There is no other reason to worry about the war in Wujun.


    But no matter what, Yu can only wait for news from the south.


    Not long after the army went south, the water army of Chu suddenly ran across the river and blocked the river.


    When the news came to the ears of Yu Jin, he was even more worried.


    The purpose of the Chu army''s blockade of the river was to block contact.


    This action of Chu army made Yu Jin more nervous and worried about the situation in the south.


    After all, he is a veteran on the battlefield. Although he is worried in his heart, he doesn''t show it. He has been waiting for the news. But as time went by, there was no news from the south, and Yu Jin could not sit still.


    Yu Jin left his Chinese Army account and went to Sima Yi''s camp.


    In the army.


    Yu Jin is the chief General.


    It is reasonable to say that Yu Jin''s position is higher than that of Sima Yi. He can directly send someone to ask Sima Yi to discuss business in his camp.


    But Sima Yi had different identities, not only the people around Cao Cao, but also had a close relationship with Cao Pi.


    So in front of Sima Yi, Yu Jin didn''t put on airs.


    Yu Jin came to Sima Yi''s camp, met Sima Yi who was studying, and said, "military adviser."


    Sima Yi quickly got up, arched his hand and said, "why did the general come in person? If the general has anything to do, he will give a direct order and go there."


    After taking his seat, Yu said, "military division, I would have worried about the situation in the south."


    Sima Yi put down his book and said, "the general is worried, but what''s the use?"


    "In this war, we sent three troops."


    "One way army is in the Ming Dynasty, two ways army is in the dark. This is already a ring by ring plan."


    "Even if there is a clear failure, there is still a backhand."


    "The general doesn''t have to worry about this battle."


    "Moreover, the general is stationed in Guangling county. As long as Guangling county is not lost, the general will not make a big mistake. Especially now it is difficult to intervene in the situation in the south, so we have to wait for the news. "


    Sima Yi said, "general, please be calm. There will be news soon."


    Yu Jin said: "the river is blocked. I would have been worried."


    It''s said that I don''t worry, but how can I not worry in my heart? It''s impossible not to worry.


    "Alas..."


    After hearing this, Sima Yi sighed.


    Why didn''t he know Yu Jin''s worries? But he believed in his own arrangements.


    He had prepared for the war properly. If he could not win Wu County and defeat Chu army on such a basis, heaven would not protect the state of Wei.


    Sima Yi said: "General Yu, we should consider the worst case, even if the southern army is defeated. But we are still in control. "


    "With Guangling County, the overall situation of the state of Wei will not be affected."


    "The loss of Army soldiers, recruitment is."


    "As long as we can stick to it, everything is not a problem."


    Sima Yi said: "general, if you don''t have something to do, do your best."


    "Good!"


    After hearing this, Yu Jin nodded.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier was shouting outside the camp.


    Immediately, the soldiers entered the barracks, saluted Yu Jin and said, "general, some soldiers who fought in Wujun county have fled back. Now they are waiting for the general in the barracks."


    When Yu Jin heard the speech, he raised his eyebrows.


    Because what he heard was "escape back", which means that he is likely to lose.


    Yu Jin said: "military commander, go!"


    "Here it is


    Sima Yi stood up, followed Yu Jin to leave, and went to the central army.


    As soon as they entered the Chinese army, Yu Jin and Sima Yi saw two soldiers. The two soldiers were disheveled, dirty and embarrassed.


    Yu Jin frowned and said, "what''s the matter?"


    One of them: "general, villains are under general yuan Qian. General yuan Qian and General Chang Heng were defeated and taken down. The villain managed to escape back. "


    Another humanitarian: "general, villains are under general Zou Rui. General Zou Rui''s attack on Wu County was about to be conquered, but Huang Zhong''s army suddenly came to kill him. General Zou Rui was killed, and our whole army was destroyed. "


    Brush!


    Yu Jin''s face became very pale.


    The three armies that went south were all defeated.


    Yu Jin looked at them and said, "how did yuan Qian and Chang Heng lose the battle?"


    The soldier said, "General Chang Heng occupied the city of piling. When he was attacked by taishici, he and general yuan Qian attacked taishici. Originally, it was about to win, but Lu Xun''s army suddenly came out, making the army rout. When the army fled to Yangxian County, it was attacked by taishici and Lu Xun on the shore of Taihu Lake, and the whole army was destroyed. "Yu Jin could not help sighing.


    Lost!


    It''s a complete failure.


    Yu Jin waved the soldiers back, looked at Sima Yi, and said: "military division, the army is defeated like a mountain. What should we do now? "


    Sima Yi also frowned tightly.


    The current situation makes him feel very difficult.


    Sima Yi said: "General Yu, this is not the time to consider counterattack. Now this situation, we must defend the whole line. Then, write another war report and send it back to Yecheng immediately to let the king know. Please make a decision. "


    Yu Jin nodded.


    This is the only way to deal with the current situation.


    Unfortunately, he failed.


    Yu Jin and Sima Yi discussed the rest of the arrangements. After Sima Yi left, he immediately wrote the war report, and then sent soldiers 800 Li to send them away.


    ¡­¡­


    Wu County.


    Outside the city.


    Tai Shici and Lu Xun led the army and escorted yuan Qian, Chang Heng and others back.


    The army sailed through Taihu Lake and entered Wuxian county.


    All the way back to Wuxian.


    When Tai Shi Ci and Lu Xun learned about Wu County and that Wu County almost fell into the hands of the army of Wei, they were all in a cold sweat. They expected an ambush on the front line, but they didn''t expect it. Fortunately, Huang Zhong arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.


    The army came out of the city.


    The troops were stationed outside the city, and then Tai Shici, Lu Xun and Ma Su went inside.


    When they came to the city, they went straight to where Liu Xiu was.


    I met Liu Xiu in the Wu King''s palace.


    Tai Shici, Lu Xun and Ma Su bowed and said, "see you."


    "Sit down!"


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and motioned for the three to take their seats.


    Liu xiudao: "I have seen your war report. This battle, defeated the Wei army, but also captured the main general of the Wei army, quite good


    "The king''s praise."


    All three answered.


    Although they captured yuan Qian, Chang Heng and others, they sighed at the thought that Wu county had nearly fallen.


    This is a mistake in their arrangement.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Lu Xun with admiration.


    Lu Xun has always been in contact with the state of Chu. Now Lu Xun and Liu Xiu formally meet.


    Liu Xiu said: "Bo Yan, you defeated Zhang Liao and Xun you and defeated the army of Wei. You did a very good job. Without you, the attack on the Wu parliament would be affected, and it would be difficult to defeat the Wei army. "


    Lu Xun said modestly, "the king has praised me falsely."


    Although he made contributions, he did not dare to take credit.


    Liu Xiu said: "most of the officials of the state of Wu have been adjusted. Now, you are the only one left. Now that you are back, I will give you a corresponding reward. "


    Lu Xun felt excited when he heard the words.

 Chapter 787

    Liu Xiu stared at Lu Xun and said in a deep voice, "about your arrangement, I''m going to set up another army alone."


    When Lu Xun heard this, he was even more happy.


    As a former general of Wu state, Lu Xun had enough insight.


    Lu Xun was clear about the division of Chu.


    Up to now, the state of Chu has only formed six armies.


    Today, the state of Chu, including Liangzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, Yangzhou and other places, can be said to occupy half of the country. There are only six armies in such a large area, which is not many.


    Now, another army was formed, and Lu Xun led the army, and immediately entered the core of Liu Xiu.


    Lu Xun said, "I''m at your disposal."


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly when he heard Lu Xun''s words.


    Lu Xun is a smart person. He knows how to advance and retreat and how to gain and lose.


    Liu Xiu said, "the army you command is not the seventh army. Before the establishment of the six armies, they were stationed in various places and were all responsible for the stability of various places. "


    "The army you are about to command has different responsibilities."


    "The army you are about to form is called the Navy."


    In his eyes, Liu Xiu had a strong wild look.


    During the Three Kingdoms period, the shipbuilding industry of Wu state was the most developed, and large ships were able to sail on the sea one after another.


    It''s just that it''s not really a long voyage.


    The purpose of Liu Xiu''s formation of the navy is to let the army go from the river to the sea and prepare for the future.


    Hearing the word "Navy", Lu Xun was stunned and immediately said, "king, what''s the situation of the Navy? How can I start a war when I command the Navy? "


    Lu Xun was confused about the word "Navy".


    Liu Xiu said: "the Navy and the navy are essentially the same. They are all on board."


    "The difference is that one is above the river and the other is above the sea."


    "The future of the navy is to cross the sea."


    "Far away, I will not talk about it. Let''s talk about the Navy''s recent planning."


    "Take the war between Chu and Wei as an example."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes twinkled with light, and said: "Qingzhou in the state of Wei has a shore. If we can reach it by sea, we can easily seize the stronghold in Qingzhou."


    "Without the Navy, we would have to cross Xuzhou and then enter Qingzhou."


    "It''s not easy to conquer Xuzhou."


    "It''s even harder to capture Qingzhou."


    "But if we had a navy, if our big ships could sail on the sea, it would be easier to attack Qingzhou."


    Liu Xiu continued: "further away, the bitter and cold land of Liaodong."


    "Cao Cao is very powerful. He has been unable to capture Liaodong since he captured Youzhou."


    "Because from Youzhou to Liaodong, one is the weather, the other is the location."


    "It is very difficult to conquer Liaodong."


    "If we have a navy, we can start directly from the Yangtze River and then sail north to Liaodong. In this way, we can choose the most suitable weather and attack Liaodong directly, which will save a lot of trouble. "


    Liu Xiu sighed: "just for now, it''s quite difficult."


    A sailing ship must stand up to turbulence.


    At present, there is obviously no such big ship.


    Liu Xiu set up the navy in order to let Lu Xun start from this aspect, enhance the ability of water combat and navigation.


    After hearing this, Lu Xun''s heart was boiling.


    Lu Xun''s blood is boiling, not how exciting sailing on the sea.


    What he is passionate about is that once he sets up a navy, if he can reach Qingzhou directly from the sea, he will make great contributions to Liu Xiu''s unification of the whole country. This is the most exciting.


    As for the distant, Lu Xun did not consider.


    Lu Xun, as a native of Jiangnan and a former general of Wu, was familiar with the warships of Wu.


    Lu Xun said: "Your Majesty, the current ships can''t sail on the sea. I''m afraid it''s not a day''s work to build a ship. It also requires a lot of manpower and material resources to achieve something. "


    Liu Xiu said, "if you want people, I will give them to you."


    "If you want money, I will give it to you."


    "If you want time, I will give you time."


    "In a word, the king wants the final result. He wants to see Chu''s ships sailing on the vast sea."


    There was a look of expectation in Liu Xiu''s eyes.


    Lu Xun said: "I will obey you. I will live up to your great expectations. I will do my best."


    Liu Xiu picked up an imperial edict and seal ribbon from the desk and said in a deep voice, "this is the letter of appointment for you. From today on, you are the Hussar General of the state of Chu. You are the commander of the Sixth Army and lead the Navy alone. There is no military division in the Navy for the time being. The number of Navy personnel is tentatively 30000, and the garrison is in Taihu Lake. "


    "Here it is


    Lu Xun was quite excited when he took the imperial edict.Liu Xiu said, "Bo Yan, about the northern expedition against Cao Cao, I will wait for a while. You have to set up a Navy as soon as possible. I hope the Navy under your command will come in handy when you attack Cao Cao. "


    Lu Xun said, "don''t worry, your majesty. I will take part in the war."


    The battle against Cao Cao is the most important one.


    Whether he can have a place in the state of Chu in the future depends on his contribution to the battle against Cao Cao.


    Therefore, Lu Xun can not be absent.


    Liu Xiu and Lu Xun said something else, and Lu Xun respectfully stepped down.


    As for Tai Shici and others, Liu Xiu didn''t offer a reward for the time being. He wanted to offer a reward only after his teacher returned to Xiangyang.


    Now that taishici has arrived, all the troops are stationed in Wuxian.


    Huang Zhong, Tai Shici and others are here. It can be said that today''s Wu county is really solid. Even though Cao Cao himself led the troops, Liu Xiu was not afraid.


    Liu Xiu was in charge of Wu County, leaving Zhang Zhaohe and Lu Ji to handle the affairs of Wu County.


    Under the joint arrangement of the two people, everything goes very fast.


    Time is in a hurry.


    As soon as the new year is over, spring comes.


    This year is 215 A.D.


    Liu Xiu spent another year in Wu County, but in these months, no one in Yangzhou dared to act rashly.


    The adjustment of officials went on in an orderly way.


    Batch after batch of officials were adjusted, and a large number of Chu officials entered Yangzhou.


    Gradually, they were replaced by the county magistrate of Chu.


    Only in this way can Yangzhou exchange blood and completely label itself as Liu Xiu.


    On this day, a royal guard quickly came to Deng Zhan and reported a piece of news. When Deng Zhan got the news, he went directly to the Chu palace in Wu County.


    The so-called Chu palace is actually the Wu palace where Sun Quan once lived.


    When the state of Wu was destroyed, the king''s palace of Wu naturally became the king''s palace of Chu.


    Deng Zhan came to Liu Xiu''s side and said, "king, there''s news from Xiangyang. Cao Cao has sent his envoy Yang Xiu to ask Xun you and Zhang Liao again."


    Liu Xiumei head a pick, way: "this passed a few months, Cao Cao see no action, finally can''t restrain."


    "Mr. Kuai and Mr. Yi are urging you to return to Xiangyang as soon as possible," Deng said


    Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "now that Lu Ji is in Yangzhou, everything is in order. In addition, Lu Xun''s navy is also here. Yangzhou is safe enough. It''s almost time to go back. He summoned Fazheng, Zhang Zhao, Tai Shici, Huang Zhong, Lu Xun, Lu Ji and Gu Yong to discuss the matter. "


    "Here it is


    Deng Zhan was ordered to make arrangements immediately.

 Chapter 788

    After a short time, all the generals under Liu Xiu gathered in the hall.


    After the ceremony, they took their seats.


    Liu Xiu looked around the crowd and said, "Yangzhou has become stable. There was a navy under Lu Xun on the river, so the Wei army could not go south. When everything was in order, I was ready to return to Xiangyang. Before leaving, make some adjustments. "


    When they heard the words, they all looked solemn.


    Lu Ji, Lu Xun and others have their own arrangements and will not make any changes.


    If Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Zhu Zhi and others want to return to Xiangyang with Liu Xiu, there is no need to adjust.


    What really needs to be adjusted is the arrangement of the army.


    Huang Zhong had been stationed in Jiaozhou, responsible for the stability of Jiaozhou.


    Now, Huang Zhong is not willing to go back.


    For no other reason, Huang Zhong wanted to participate in the next World War I.


    Knowing what Huang Zhong thought, Liu Xiu looked at Huang Zhong and said, "Huang Zhong."


    "The end will be here!"


    Huang Zhong stood up, a little uneasy.


    Liu xiudao said: "Wu county is very close to Taihu Lake. With Lu Xun''s Navy stationed, Wu county is safe. It''s unnecessary for you to lead your troops in Wuxian county. "


    "Moreover, Jiaozhou also needs the army to be in charge."


    "You led the second army and retreated to Kuaiji county."


    "First, to prepare for the future attack on the state of Wei; second, to control the situation of Jiaozhou."


    Liu Xiu made arrangements directly.


    In Huang Zhong''s heart, he was immediately relieved: "I will obey you!"


    As long as he didn''t return to Jiaozhou and could make preparations for attacking Cao Cao in the future, Huang Zhong thought it was worth it.


    Liu Xiu waves and Huang Zhong returns to his seat.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Tai Shici and said, "Tai Shici."


    "The end will be here!"


    Then he stood up and saluted.


    Liu Xiuse said: "mobilize all the soldiers of the Fourth Army and prepare to withdraw to Jiangxia."


    "Here it is


    Tai Shici should hold his fist.


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly, and Tai Shici returned to the table.


    Lu Xun looked back and said, "the two branches are arranged properly."


    "The end will be here!"


    Lu Xun got up and saluted respectfully.


    In the past few months, Lu Xun spent most of his time in the naval camp. On the one hand, he reorganized the soldiers, and on the other hand, he urged the craftsmen to build ships.


    To build a real Navy, you have to have real big ships.


    Without a boat, everything is empty talk.


    So what Lu Xun is most concerned about now is the craftsman''s shipbuilding.


    "Shipbuilding doesn''t happen overnight. Even if there are difficulties, we can''t give up," Liu said


    "I''m still the old saying, what you want, I''ll give you. What you lack, I will make up for it. "


    "Finally, there must be a Navy worthy of the name."


    "But when training the Navy, we should also pay attention to the stability of Yangzhou."


    Liu Xiu said: "originally, your uncle served as the governor of Yangzhou, but you can''t stay in Yangzhou. You should be an official in Xiangyang. But I believe in you and your ability. I hope you will live up to your high expectations. "


    Lu Xun Yili way: "the end will certainly live up to the expectations of the king."


    Lu Xun also understood Liu Xiu''s words. Lu Ji has the final say that Lu Ji and Lu Xun are both


    people. The government of Yangzhou has the final say of Lu''s achievements, and Yangzhou''s military affairs are governed by Lu Xun.


    In such a situation, it is easy to form a dominant family.


    Only in the current situation, Lu Xun is the most suitable candidate.


    Another reason is that Liu Xiu can control the Lu family. As long as Liu Xiu is there, neither Lu Xun nor Lu Ji can rebel.


    As for the future, Liu Xiu naturally needs to adjust.


    Lu Xun was like a mirror in his heart. When he returned to the table, he also told himself that he should remember Liu Xiu''s points.


    Liu Xiu, together with Lu Ji and other officials who stayed in Yangzhou, talked about various things one by one.


    Finally, Liu Xiucai ordered to leave.


    With an order from Liu Xiu, the troops stationed in Wu County began to pull out.


    Liu Xiu also took Fazheng, Ma Su, Zhang Zhao, Zhu Zhi, Gu Yong and others to leave Wu County for Xiangyang. This time back to Xiangyang, Liu Xiu went by water, not by land.


    The army marched westward along the Yangtze River to Xiangyang.


    The news soon spread to Guangling county.


    When Cao Pi got the news, he sent it back to Yecheng.


    When Cao Cao learns of Liu Xiu''s withdrawal from Xiangyang, he is also waiting for Yang Xiu''s negotiation. Whether he can take back Zhang Liao and Xun you depends on Yang Xiu''s decision.


    On this day, Cao Cao summoned Sun Quan.


    In the main hall.


    Take your seat.


    Cao Cao looked at Sun Quan and said, "Zhongmou, I just got the news that Liu Xiu has completely stabilized the situation in Wu County. Now, go west along the Yangtze River and head for Xiangyang. Now that I have the news, I guess Liu Xiu has returned to Xiangyang. "Sun Quan''s face was a little pale and his expression was gloomy.


    Sun Quan had known about the defeat of the state of Wu before.


    Now, hearing the news of Cao Cao, Sun Quan is more like being struck by lightning, sitting in a daze, a little absent-minded.


    He took the initiative as a hostage in exchange for a chance of survival of the state of Wu.


    Unexpectedly, it failed in the end.


    Sun Quan came back to his senses and said, "King Wei, Liu Xiu and the state of Wei allied to attack the state of Wu in the past. But in the end, Liu Xiu monopolized Yangzhou and annexed Wu. Can the king of Wei swallow this tone when Liu Xiu bullies the king of Wei so much? "


    On hearing this, Cao Cao''s expression cooled down.


    Cao Cao was not happy about the war against Wu.


    However, Cao Cao did not blame Liu Xiu for tearing his face and tearing up the alliance, but for the failure of the Wei army.


    Liu Xiu''s Secret intention of annexing Wu state.


    And the state of Wei, too.


    It was the defeat of Zhang Liao and Xun you that made Cao Cao very passive, which made Wei difficult.


    Cao Cao said, "there is a war between Wang and Liu Xiu."


    Sun Quan turned his mind and said: "now, does the king of Wei want to exchange Zhang Liao and Xun you? Ha ha, I''m afraid it''s impossible. Liu Xiu was extremely treacherous, and he was not a man who could easily hand over Xun you and Zhang Liao. In particular, these two people are very critical, and Liu Xiu is unlikely to make friends. I suggest that the king of Wei fight directly. "


    Cao Cao is a man with personal ideas and will not be easily bewitched.


    Sun Quan''s intention was to make the state of Wei and the state of Chu fight as soon as possible.


    However, Cao Cao had his own ideas. He said with a smile, "when will war start, I have my own discretion. It''s just Zhongmou. I''m thinking about a question. Does Liu Xiu care about your life or death? "


    When Sun Quan heard this, he felt a thump in his heart.


    What does Cao Cao mean?


    Sun Quan said, "what does the king of Wei mean?"


    Cao Cao stroked his white beard under his jaw and said with a smile, "if Liu Xiu didn''t marry sun Shangxiang, you would be useless in the hands of the king."


    "However, Liu Xiu was married to the state of Wu."


    "Since they are married, Liu Xiu and you are related by marriage."


    "Liu Xiu is a cunning and insidious man in politics, in marching and fighting, but it is undeniable that Liu Xiu is quite a man."


    "With sun Shangxiang here, we still have a chance to take back Xun you and Zhang Liao."


    Cao Cao said with a smile: "now, it''s up to Yang Xiu."


    Sun Quan suddenly understood.


    Cao Cao''s intention is to use him as a bargaining chip and then negotiate with Liu Xiu.


    Sun Quan slumped on the ground, his heart is even more lost. Liu Xiu is cunning, and Cao Cao is not a fuel-efficient lamp. In the hands of Cao Cao, he became a bargaining chip between Cao Cao and Liu Xiu.


    Cao Cao waved his hand, and a servant came in.


    Cao Cao said, "take the king of Wu down to have a rest, so that he can live and serve."


    "Here it is


    The attendant left with Sun Quan.

 Chapter 789

    Liu Xiu led the troops on the way, and the ship went west all the way.


    After entering Jiangxia, taishici and Ma Su entered Qichun county.


    After this army got off the ship, Liu Xiu was left with only the army led by shamoko, Huang Hu and others. After a little supply, the army moved on.


    Finally, stop at the ferry in Xiangyang City.


    The army went ashore to Xiangyang City.


    Now it''s the end of April. It''s warm and windy.


    He won the battle and successfully won the state of Wu. No matter the soldiers under Liu Xiu or the people of Chu, they are all proud and happy from the bottom of their hearts.


    If the country is rich and the people are strong, the people will naturally be loyal.


    Like the state of Wu under Sun Quan''s administration, it was stormy and full of wars, which made it difficult for the people to be stable.


    In this case, there will be many refugees.


    Only stability can ensure stability and prosperity.


    When Liu Xiu brought his army into the city, the people in the city saw him and cheered.


    Countless people chanted Liu Xiu''s name.


    Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others all felt thoughtful.


    Back in Wangcheng, Liu Xiu arranged for Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Zhu Zhi and others, and asked about Zhou Yu who had been sent back, as well as Wu Guotai, Daqiao and others. When he learned that all these arrangements were in place, Liu Xiu stopped asking.


    When Liu Xiu had no time to rest, Kuai Liang, Yi Ji and Lu Su came.


    Three people came to the hall to salute.


    Liu Xiu said, "sit down!"


    Thank you three. Take a seat in the main hall.


    Kuai Liang said solemnly, "king, Yang Xiu is still here for Zhang Liao and Xun you. When is the king going to meet him? "


    Liu Xiu said, "let''s take it today. Sooner or later, we have to deal with this matter, so we have to deal with it earlier."


    Kuai Liang said, "I will arrange it."


    Yi Ji''s words changed and he said, "Your Majesty, I beg you to send officials into the palace again."


    "Now the state of Chu governs Liangzhou, Sili, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, Yangzhou and other places, involving too many affairs."


    "In particular, academies, hospitals and other things have been further promoted."


    "In addition to all kinds of things, even if we have the assistance of other officials, we can''t do what we want."


    Yi Ji''s expression is solemn, solemnly way: "I implore the king to add more officials."


    Big power is a good thing.


    The problem is, too much is a headache.


    Today, Kuai Liang and Yi Ji are the main leaders in government affairs.


    Even with the help of Lu Su, the foundation of Chu became bigger and bigger, and more and more officials were involved in the adjustment, so they felt that they were stretched.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Mr. Ji Bo''s words have been written down. After dealing with Yang Xiu''s affairs, Wang started to deal with it. In particular, the surrender of the state of Wu, the surrender of Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others, and the admission of these people into the Chu government can also alleviate the current problems. "


    Yi Ji bowed his hand and felt relieved.


    Since the attack on Wu, Yi Ji spent most of his time dealing with government affairs in Chu palace.


    I''m really tired.


    That''s why Yi Ji had to mention it.


    Liu Xiu listened to the two people report the rest of the government affairs, made a simple instruction, said: "Cao Cao has any action?"


    Kuai Liang shook his head and said, "not for the time being!"


    Liu xiudao: "if so, let''s meet Yang Xiu."


    Kuai Liang stood up, went out of the hall, and then ordered him to go down.


    Time compensation, Yang Xiu is here.


    Yang xiutou, wearing a robe and clothes, is elegant, modest and modest. Yang Xiu went into the hall, bowed his hand and said, "master Yang Xiu, meet the king of Chu."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "master Yang, we meet again."


    Yang xiudao: "goodbye to the king of Chu, now it''s different."


    "In the past, the king of Chu had not completely captured Wu, but now he has completely annexed Wu."


    "Chu''s strength has been further strengthened."


    "It''s just that the king of Chu has taken the kingdom of Wu. Now, it''s time to return it to Xun you and Zhang Liao."


    Yang Xiu had expectations in his eyes and said: "when the state of Chu and the state of Wei united, the king of Chu said that once they won, they would release Xun you and Zhang Liao. Now, I implore the king of Chu to keep his promise and release them. "


    Yang Xiu is looking forward to it.


    However, Yang Xiu did not hold too much hope, it is Zhang Liao and Xun you are too important.


    Once Liu Xiu let it go, he would raise a tiger for trouble.


    Liu corrected the color and said, "master Yang, do you remember the conditions that the king made at the beginning?"


    Yang xiudao: "remember!"


    Liu Xiu asked: "what are the conditions?"


    Yang Xiu replied, "cede Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou in exchange for the three. Although this was the condition put forward by the king of Chu, the king of Chu would not have been so successful without the full assistance of the state of Wei. Therefore, I implore the king of Chu to release them. "Liu Xiu tut two, but did not answer.


    Yang Xiu is just a lion who opens his mouth to let Liu Xiu release people.


    It''s impossible.


    Liu Xiuse said: "master Yang, I have to correct some of your problems."


    "First, the state of Chu did its best to attack the state of Wu, and the state of Wei hardly intervened."


    "Second, the state of Wei defeated the state of Wu. After the generals and military strategists were captured, the state of Wu handed them over to the king."


    "Third, although the state of Wei and the state of Chu united, the state of Wei had hidden thoughts and did not contribute."


    Liu Xiu said: "you didn''t pay anything. Now you just want to take Xun you and Zhang Liao away. Do you think it''s possible?"


    A rhetorical question left Yang Xiu speechless.


    Today, Liu Xiu is powerful and has Xun you and Zhang Liao in his hands. He is not afraid of the state of Wei at all.


    Yang Xiu said: "king of Chu, no matter whether we fail or not, we can be sure that the state of Wei went all out to attack the state of Wu. There is no denying that. "


    Liu Xiu said: "however, this is not the reason for Wang to release them. I don''t agree with that. "


    Yang Xiu swallowed his saliva and frowned.


    If Liu Xiu didn''t let go, things would be very troublesome.


    Yang Xiushen took a breath and began to speak harshly, saying: "if the king of Chu does not agree, the state of Chu and the state of Wei can only meet on the battlefield."


    Liu Xiu said, "I am waiting for Cao Cao."


    "Goodbye!"


    Yang Xiu closed the door, looked at Liu Xiu angrily, and left.


    Liu Xiu didn''t send Yang Xiu to leave.


    It can be said that Yang Xiu came here with high morale, but he left in frustration.


    After Yang Xiu left, Liu Xiu first visited Xun you and Zhang Liao. The two men were still stubborn and showed no sign of surrender.


    Liu Xiu couldn''t help it.


    For the time being, there are only two people in custody.


    After a day''s rest, Liu Xiu summoned all the generals and officials under his command to discuss business in the main hall.


    Liu Xiu looked around the crowd and said in a deep voice, "today, I''m calling you all together. It''s about the officials of the state of Chu. There will be some adjustments. In addition, there are arrangements and appointments of various personnel. "


    As soon as the words came out, the officials got excited.


    When it comes to arranging appointments, there are adjustments.


    Once the adjustment is made, the officials below are looking forward to being promoted.

 Chapter 790

    Under Liu Xiu''s command, there were civil servants such as Jia Xu, Pang Tong, FA Zheng, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, and military generals such as Huang Hu, Sha Moke, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Wei Yan, Zhang Ren, etc.


    It is not too much to say that Liu Xiu has a large number of talented people.


    All of a sudden, Jia Xu stood up and said, "king, I have my own music."


    Under Liu Xiu''s command, Jia Xu was older and wiser. Although Jia Xu was obedient in the middle, he had a high prestige under Liu Xiu''s command.


    As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone''s eyes fell on Jia Xu.


    Liu xiudao: "what does Wen he have to say?"


    Jia Xu bowed his hand and said: "the king''s adjustment of officials is naturally related to the promotion of officials. I think it''s too early. "


    "It''s not appropriate to enfeoffment and reward Cao Wei before he died."


    "To reward is to kill Cao Wei and to reward again after he dominates the country."


    "I''d like to ask the king to confess his crime."


    Jia Xu''s words were like a basin of cold water pouring down his head, which chilled the hearts of the civil and military officials in the hall.


    When they saw Jia Xu stand up just now, they thought there was something good.


    Unexpectedly, it was such a thing.


    One by one, they are thinking, but there is still a trace of reluctance in their hearts.


    After listening to this, Liu Xiu was stunned and recovered immediately.


    After listening to Jia Xu''s words, he suddenly jumped out of the complacency of Wu''s victory as if he had heard the morning bell and the evening drum, and had to calm down.


    It is an indisputable fact that Cao Cao dominates the north.


    In this attack on Wu, Zhang Liao and Xun you were calculated by Lu Xun.


    It can be said that it weakened Cao Cao''s power.


    However, there are countless generals under Cao Cao''s command, especially in Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou and other places. On the basis of the inside information, Cao Cao is not inferior to Liu Xiu, or even stronger.


    Such an enemy can not be easily defeated.


    But after Liu Xiu killed Sun Quan, he solved a big enemy, and he was a little complacent.


    Liu Xiu took a deep breath and said, "I understand what Mr. Wenhe said."


    Seeing this, Jia Xu was also relieved.


    After all, Liu Xiu was young and successful. He was worried that Liu Xiu would be complacent. Once he was complacent, he would not be far away from failure.


    Jia Xu said, "king, I have one more thing to report."


    "What''s the matter?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Jia Xu replied: "as far as I know, Yang Xiu, Cao Cao''s envoy, was out of the royal city. But in fact, he is still in Xiangyang City and has not left. "


    Liu Xiumei head a pick, way: "Yang Xiu has not left?"


    "Yes


    Jia Xu nodded.


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, his eyes showed a thoughtful look: "Yang Xiu came to ask Zhang Liao and Xun you, but the king directly refused, and asked Cao Cao to exchange the three states. Yang Xiu had no choice but to leave, but now he didn''t leave. What do you mean? "


    Jia Xu said, "I think Yang Xiu did it on purpose."


    "Why?"


    Liu xiuxun asked.


    Jia Xu said: "Xun you and Zhang Liao are Cao Cao''s confidants."


    "Two people in, Cao Cao will not stop."


    "As for ceding the three prefectures in exchange for Xun you and Zhang Liao, Cao Cao could not do it."


    "As long as the king doesn''t let go, Zhang Liao and Xun you can''t run away."


    "When Cao Cao wants to take back the two, the old minister thinks about it. Cao Cao has only one breakthrough, that is Sun Quan. Cao Cao can only make an issue of Sun Quan in order to intimidate the king. "


    Jia Xu''s words point out the key points.


    His words immediately attracted the expression of the people in the hall.


    Jia Xu''s analysis is indeed quite important and the most crucial.


    After Liu Xiu thought about it, he said, "Jia Xu, Pang Tong, FA Zheng, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong will stay, and the rest will leave."


    "Here it is


    The officials retired, leaving only Jia Xu and others.


    Liu Xiu looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, what do you think about Sun Quan?"


    Jia Xu looked up at Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong and said, "king, I think that we can only exchange Xun you and Zhang Liao for Sun Quan."


    "Why!"


    Liu Xiu asked in a deep voice.


    Liu Xiu didn''t care whether Sun Quan would come back or not.


    Zhang Liao and Xun you were both talented people.


    These two people are crucial.


    Liu Xiu didn''t want to hand over these two people from the bottom of his heart.


    Jia Xu said: "it is reasonable to say that the death of Sun Quan in the hands of Cao Cao is the best outcome. Wu officials who are so obedient to the king will go all out to be loyal to him. "


    "But now, Sun Quan is in the hands of Cao Cao, and Yang Xiu is likely to make use of it.""Yang Xiu didn''t mention it immediately when he met the king."


    "It is to stay in Xiangyang after the failure, and guess that is to operate this matter."


    "Once the news spread, the world said that the king was not willing to exchange Sun Quan, what would Zhou Yu think?"


    "What will Mrs. sun think then?"


    "What would even the officers and soldiers of Wu state think?"


    "It''s just for the sake of monk Zhou Yu and madam Xiang that the king should return to Sun Quan."


    Jia Xu''s face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were shining with wisdom.


    According to the truth, Sun Quan''s death is the best.


    But Cao Cao is not stupid, and he is a thief. He can''t not take advantage of Sun Quan. Therefore, under such circumstances, it would be more appropriate to return to Sun Quan to appease Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and other Wu officials.


    Liu Xiu listened to Jia Xu''s analysis with a solemn expression.


    He didn''t think of Jia Xu''s analysis.


    This is indeed crucial and cannot be ignored.


    Liu Xiu turned his eyes, looked at FA Zheng, Zhang Zhao and others, and said, "what do you think?"


    Zhang Zhao smoothed his beard under his jaw and said, "Your Majesty, I also agree with the analysis of Mr. Jia. Although Zhang Liao and Xun you were talented people, compared with the stability of the state of Wu, it was most suitable to replace Sun Quan. "


    "I have heard about Zhou Yu''s surrender."


    "Although Zhou Yu was obedient, he must have a knot in his heart."


    "In exchange for Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Madame Shangxiang and others will be grateful to the king."


    "And Sun Quan in the hands of the king, the king can also be free from coercion."


    Zhang Zhao arched his hand and said, "I agree to change Sun Quan."


    Pang Tong flashed a cold light in his eyes and said, "king, I object."


    Liu xiudao: "why is Shiyuan against it?"


    Pang Tong''s face was solemn, and he said: "I believe that Xun you and Zhang Liao are both great enemies. If I let the tiger go back to the mountain, there will be endless troubles. Before Yang Xiu put it forward formally, he killed the two men first. "


    "In this way, even if Yang Xiu mentioned it, he was too late."


    "Zhang Liao and Xun you are dead. What can Cao Cao do with Sun Quan?"


    "Cao Cao wants to kill Sun Quan. Let him do it."


    "The value of a Sun Quan is not equal to that of Xun you and Zhang Liao."


    Pang Tong was opposed in his heart, and he was not willing to exchange Sun Quan. In exchange for Sun Quan, an unstable factor was put down in the state of Chu. Although it is necessary to detain Sun Quan in exchange for his return, as long as Sun Quan is there, problems will easily arise.


    Pang Tong''s opposition led to different opinions in the hall.


    Fazheng said, "Your Majesty, I''m against it."


    "Although it is good to replace Sun Quan, in fact, it is also helping the enemy."


    "Zhou Yu has already submitted to the king."


    "If Zhou Yu repeats because of Sun Quan, the consequences will be very serious."


    "Chen suggested that Xun you and Zhang Liao should be killed in order to put an end to Cao Cao''s plan."


    Fazheng is also quite strong.


    It seems that the only thing that sun Jianzhu can do is to pay back the loss.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of footwork came from outside the hall.


    Deng Zhan came in in a hurry. He bowed to Liu Xiu and said, "king, there are rumors in the city that Cao Cao exchanged Sun Quan for Xun you and Zhang Liao, but they were rejected by the king. I sent someone to investigate and found that it was Yang Xiu. He left Wangcheng, but he didn''t leave Xiangyang. "


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "I know."


    With a wave of his hand, Deng Zhan turned and stepped down.


    Liu Xiu looked at the people under his command and said, "Yang Xiu is really fast. For the first time, he deliberately didn''t mention Sun Quan''s affairs, and he was shut up here. Now the news is to force me to submit. "


    Gu Yong''s expression was calm, and he said, "king, I have an immature idea about my humble position."


    Liu xiudao: "tell me."


    Gu Yong''s expression was calm, and he said: "I think Sun Quan will bring back, but Xun you and Zhang Liao can''t let go. Although Sun Quan brought it back, it had a certain influence. But on the whole, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. "


    Liu Xiu asked, "how to operate?"

 Chapter 791

    Gu Yong said solemnly, "it''s not difficult to operate this thing. It''s just a plot. "


    "When Sun Quan was detained in Yecheng, he was bound to be severely imprisoned."


    "Yecheng, in particular, is Cao Cao''s hometown. Even if he takes Sun Quan, he will not be able to see him off."


    "Therefore, it is not advisable to seize Sun Quan in Yecheng."


    Gu Yong is calm and easy to say: "humble position suggests that the king should agree to exchange hostages with Cao Cao."


    "Then, the two sides agreed to exchange money in Yingchuan county."


    "As long as Sun Quan is taken out of Yecheng, the king can arrange people to rescue Sun Quan."


    "Sun Quan is in Yecheng, it''s hard to start."


    "But when Sun Quan came out of Yecheng, even if he was protected by Cao Cao''s soldiers, it was different."


    Gu Yong looked awe inspiring and said: "even if we use the cunning means to deal with Cao Cao, it is not impossible. As long as the king takes back Sun Quan and Sun Quan doesn''t show up, even though Cao Cao knows that it was the king who robbed him, he has no evidence and can''t do anything about it. "


    "If Cao Cao wants to fight, the king will fight."


    "Now the state of Chu and the state of Wei are antagonistic. It''s only a matter of time before war begins."


    "It''s better for Cao Cao to be angry and start a teacher."


    Gu Yong bowed his hand and said, "please think twice."


    After Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others heard this, their faces all showed a look of thinking.


    Gu Yong''s suggestion has certain desirability.


    Liu Xiu also thought carefully.


    Gu Yong''s plan ensured that he could take back Sun Quan and retain Zhang Liao and Xun you.


    Pang Tong stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "king, I have another worry. It''s a good thing that the plan is successful. People have been rescued. Zhang Liao and Xun you are also in our hands. "


    "But what if it fails?"


    "If you want to seize Sun Quan at that time, it will be very difficult."


    "Even Sun Quan will always be constrained."


    Pang Tong''s eyes were sharp, and he said coldly: "therefore, without Zhang Liao and Xun you, even Madame Shang Xiang and Zhou Yu could no longer ask the king to damage the interests of the state of Chu in exchange for Sun Quan. I still think that the most direct way is to kill Zhang Liao and Xun you. We should be constantly determined, but we should be disturbed. At this time, only a sharp knife can cut the mess. "


    After Liu Xiu listened, he shook his head.


    It is the worst plan to kill Zhang Liao and Xun you.


    There are two problems in killing two people.


    First, Zhou Yu, Wu Guotai, sun Shangxiang and others are not idiots. They can definitely guess that Liu Xiu''s killing Zhang Liao and Xun you is to put an end to the threat of Cao Cao.


    Second, these two people are indeed talents. Liu Xiu doesn''t want to lose talents.


    After the destruction of the state of Wei, it was the problem of governing the country.


    When we fight in the world, we need powerful generals.


    When governing the world, more talents are needed to participate.


    Liu Xiu made up his mind and said, "we have Xun you and Zhang Liao in our hands. We always have the advantage. According to Gu Yong''s plan, Cao Cao was informed that the two sides exchanged hostages in Yangzhai County, Yingchuan county. "


    "Here it is


    When they heard the words, they all agreed to come down.


    Now that Liu Xiu has decided, they can only carry it out.


    Especially in the current situation, for a while, there is no real solution.


    Gu Yong''s strategy is the best one.


    Pang Tong asked: "king, since we want to exchange hostages. Who are the people who are going to take back Sun Quan? This is the most important thing. We can''t lose anything. "


    Liu Xiuse said: "led by Deng Zhan, he used the royal guards to bring back Sun Quan."


    Pang Tong asked, "where are the people who escorted Zhang Liao and Xun you?"


    Liu xiudao: "escorted by Huang Hu himself, there are flying tiger battalion cavalry under Huang Hu''s command. If Cao Cao has any ideas, he will not succeed in the end. "


    Pang Tong nodded and stopped talking.


    Liu Xiu said, "come on!"


    Deng Zhan strides into the hall and bows to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said, "send someone to inform Yang Xiu immediately and let him come to the palace."


    "Here it is


    Deng zhande immediately turned to arrange.


    Yang Xiu lived not far from the palace, but a little more than a quarter of an hour later, Yang Xiu came with a smile on his face.


    When Yang Xiu saw Liu Xiu again, he was very calm.


    This time, Cao Cao gave him a death order. He must succeed.


    It''s not easy for Yang Xiu to know such a thing.


    Therefore, he played a trick. When he first met Liu Xiu, he didn''t say anything about Sun Quan. But after he left the palace, he began to take a walk. It was rumored that Liu Xiu ignored Sun Quan''s life and death.


    Now it seems that the plan is a success.


    Yang Xiu arched his hand and said, "Yang Xiu, the master of the Wei palace, has met the king of Chu."


    Liu Xiu sneered and said, "master Yang is really calculating."A trace of Mori''s cold intention of killing spread from Liu Xiu.


    It''s really bold of Yang Xiu to count on him, especially in Liu Xiu''s headquarters.


    Yang xiudao said: "Xiu is alone and has a cheap life. He can''t be praised by the king of Chu. This is also a helpless move. Please forgive me. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "just so. I agree to exchange hostages."


    When Yang Xiu heard the speech, he was very happy.


    The reason why he spread rumors quietly is to increase Liu Xiu''s pressure and force Liu Xiu to agree.


    Now it''s finally a success.


    Yang Xiu arched his hand and said, "the king of Chu is wise."


    Liu xiudao: "if you flatter, you don''t have to say it. I agree with your request. Go back and tell Cao Cao that the two sides will exchange hostages in Yangzhai County, Yingchuan county. "


    "Here it is


    Yang Xiu bowed his hand to answer the question.


    At this time, Yang Xiu''s face was full of smiles.


    After this mission is completed, he will be able to hand over the work when he goes back.


    Liu Xiu looked at Yang Xiu and suddenly said, "Yang Xiu, you are a man of outstanding talent and insight. Now the state of Chu and the state of Wei are in a situation that you can see. Cao Cao is old, he can''t last long. I''m still young, and I have enough time to spend with Cao Cao. If you follow Cao Cao, you will be defeated sooner or later. No, how do you serve for me? "


    Liu Xiu knows Yang Xiu better.


    Yang Xiu is clever, but he is too clever.


    At present, to confuse Yang Xiu, he pretended to recruit Yang Xiu, but it is also feasible.


    Yang Xiu laughed and said, "don''t the king of Chu know that loyal officials are not the two masters? Yang Xiu was a minister of the Han Dynasty and a man under the command of the king of Wei. How could he surrender to the Lord. The king of Chu''s idea should never be mentioned again. Otherwise, I will despise the king of Chu. "


    Liu Xiu couldn''t help laughing.


    Arrogant Yang Xiu.


    Unfortunately, Yang Xiu is just like this.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "since master Yang has made up his mind, I don''t want to force him. But the door of Chu state was always open for master Yang. Master Yang, go back and tell Cao Cao that I want to see Sun Quan intact. Otherwise, I do not guarantee that Zhang Liao and Xun you will be intact. "


    "Of course," Yang said


    As soon as the words changed, Yang xiudao said, "king of Chu, I''m leaving."


    "No!"


    Liu Xiu''s big sleeve flicked and watched Yang Xiu leave.


    This time, Yang Xiu is really leaving, he wants to go back to convey the message.


    Liu Xiu looked back at Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Gu Yong and others, and said, "this is the decision about Xun you and Zhang Liao. The only way to get Sun Quan back is to win, not lose. "


    "Here it is


    When they heard the words, they answered in unison.


    And they know that''s the only way to do it now.


    After discussing with Liu Xiu, they left one after another.

 Chapter 792

    Royal Guards sign Yamen.


    After Deng Zhan got Liu Xiu''s order, he began to prepare for the next step of seizing Sun Quan.


    Order after order, the royal guards run at high speed.


    At the same time, Deng Zhan should be ready to start.


    When it comes to Sun Quan''s safety, Deng Zhan needs to go all out and do it himself.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    After a while, a royal guard came into the room.


    The soldier of the royal guards said, "general, here comes Pang''s Army division."


    "Please


    Deng Zhan said.


    Pang Tong is Liu Xiu''s confidant, under Liu Xiu''s command, has a pivotal position. Generally speaking, Pang Tong seldom came to the royal guards because they were only responsible to Liu Xiu, not to anyone.


    Now Pang Tong came, which surprised Deng Zhan.


    After a while, Pang Tong entered the room.


    Pang Tong bowed his hand and said, "general Deng, I''m bothering you."


    Deng Zhandao said: "if there is a military adviser, it''s too late for me to welcome him? Take a seat, sergeant


    Pang Tong sat down and his face became dignified.


    At this time, Pang Tong''s face was not a trace of laughter.


    When Deng Zhan saw this, his heart sank.


    It is expected that Pang Tong will have something important this time.


    Deng Zhan said: "Pang Junshi, if you have anything to say, it doesn''t matter. As long as I can do it, I will do my best. "


    Pang Tong said, "general Deng knows what will happen once Sun Quan returns to Xiangyang safely?"


    However, Deng Zhan did not pay attention to it, saying: "even if Sun Quan comes back, he is also a prisoner. What impact can it have. Especially when the state of Wu is destroyed, what else can we do? "


    Pang Tong shook his head and said, "you are wrong!"


    Deng Zhan said, "please give me advice."


    Pang Tong explained: "general Deng, who is in charge of the royal guards, is the most informed person. He should know that the state of Wu was destroyed, and most of the officials of the state of Wu were subordinated to the king."


    "Among them, Lu Xun and Lu Ji have a grudge against the sun family, which can be ignored."


    "But Zhou Yu and the sun family broke the bone and connected the flesh."


    "Even though Zhang Zhao betrayed Sun Quan, he was also ashamed of Sun Quan. He was very sorry."


    "As for the other officials like Gu Yong and Zhu Zhi, at least in their hearts, they recognized Sun Quan and were always influenced by Sun Quan."


    "Under such circumstances, as soon as Sun Quan came back, plus the influence of Mrs. Shang Xiang."


    "Even if Sun Quan is a prisoner, he should not be underestimated."


    Pang Tong''s words are solid, and his words are full of worries.


    Pang Tong looked at Deng Zhan and continued: "general Deng, as the heart of a king, should know about Gou Jian."


    Deng Zhandao said: "only when Gou Jian''s salary is tasted can he be shamed."


    Pang Tong''s eyes were cold and said, "I think Sun Quan is no less than Gou Jian."


    "It''s not that serious," Deng said


    Pang Tong said, "that''s because you don''t know Sun Quan. Listen to me


    "In the past, Sun Quan planned to deal with the king, but he was beaten down by the king. There is a deep hatred between Chu and Wu. "


    "However, Sun Quan was willing to make peace and married sun Shangxiang to the king."


    "It can be seen from this that Sun Quan is very thoughtful and deep-seated. At least he is a tolerant person."


    "Recently, in order to gain the support of the state of Wei, Sun Quan was willing to go as a hostage in exchange for the survival of the state of Wu."


    "This shows the importance of Wu to Sun Quan."


    "As long as Sun Quan is alive, it is impossible for him to give up his plan to recover the state of Wu."


    Pang Tong said with a resounding voice: "bringing Sun Quan back will bring back an unstable factor. Because of the reasons of Wu officials and Shangxiang''s wife, the king can''t do anything to Sun Quan. So from the perspective of the king, the king is very constrained. "


    After listening, Deng Zhan''s expression became dignified.


    Listening to Pang Tong''s analysis, Deng Zhan thinks it''s the same thing.


    It''s not convenient for Liu Xiu to do it.


    Otherwise, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, sun Shangxiang and others will have a knot in their heart.


    At this time, Deng Zhan understood.


    Pang Tong continued: "general Deng, you can only do what the king can''t do. Where the king can''t think of, you have to think of it. This is the meaning of the existence of the royal guards. You must get rid of the unstable factors for the king. Sun Quan can''t come back alive. He must die outside. "


    After listening, Deng Zhan took a deep breath.


    Pang Tong''s words had a great impact on him.


    Deng Zhan said: "it''s just for the king. Once the king knows, I''m afraid he will be punished."


    Pang Tong shook his head and said, "as long as general Deng doesn''t talk about this, who knows? Heaven knows, you know, I know. No one else can know. "Deng Zhandao: "there is no airtight wall in the world, and the paper can''t hold fire."


    When Pang Tong heard the speech, he chuckled twice.


    Deng Zhan''s courage is so funny.


    Pang Tong brushed his sleeve and said in a loud voice: "general Deng, if the king really knows about this, you can shift the responsibility on me and say that I passed on the king''s order to let you kill Sun Quan. So you don''t have to take responsibility. "


    After listening to Deng Zhan, he was moved.


    He is quite sure about the assassination of Sun Quan.


    As long as it''s not rescue, it''s easy.


    Pang Tong said: "in fact, this matter is absolutely safe. Because general Deng went in the name of rescuing Sun Quan. It''s just that when you rescued Sun Quan, Sun Quan was accidentally shot by Cao Cao''s soldiers. Then Sun Quan died. Sun Quan''s death can arouse the anger of Wu officials who have been subordinated to the state of Chu. They will be more loyal to the king. "


    "Hiss!"


    After listening, Deng Zhan took a cool breath.


    Pang Tong''s plan is really vicious.


    Just now, Deng Zhan was thinking about going directly to assassinate Sun Quan. He had no intention of putting on the cloak of rescuing Sun Quan.


    It would be easier to go under the guise of rescuing Sun Quan.


    Deng Zhan was also a little excited. He said with a straight face: "Mr. Pang''s proposal was agreed. This "rescue" of Sun Quan would have been safe. Please rest assured. "


    Pang Tong was relieved when he heard the speech.


    If Deng Zhan didn''t agree, Pang Tong would feel embarrassed and have to find another way.


    Pang Tong said, "general Deng, I wish you every success."


    "Thank you, Mr. Pang!"


    Deng Zhan answered with a smile.


    Pang Tong said, "this is the royal guards'' office. I won''t stay here any longer. After Deng''s victory, I''ll have a drink with him. Goodbye. "


    "Please


    Deng Zhan waved his hand and watched Pang Tong leave.


    Pang Tong walked out of the Royal Guard''s office, took a carriage and returned to the palace.


    As Liu Xiu''s military adviser, Pang Tong is duty bound to consider Liu Xiu. From Liu Xiu''s point of view, Liu Xiu is not convenient to deal with. Then Pang Tong dealt with it for Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 793

    After Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong left the palace, they did not separate, but went up to Zhou Yu''s palace.


    Zhou Yu now lives in Xiangyang.


    Although Zhou Yu was obedient on the surface, in fact, he was a little negligent. He didn''t work hard, and he didn''t give advice to Liu Xiu from the bottom of his heart.


    In the study.


    Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and Zhou Yu took their seats.


    Zhang Zhao looked at Zhou Yu and said, "Gong Jin, the king has decided to exchange hostages and exchange Zhang Liao and Xun you for Sun Quan."


    Zhou Yu hummed: "the benevolence of women."


    Although he said that, there was a glimmer of joy in Zhou Yu''s eyes.


    Zhang Zhao light said: "you and I have been working for nearly 20 years, how can I not understand you."


    "If the king really ignores Sun Quan''s life and death, you have to criticize him for his ruthlessness. There will be a knot in your heart."


    "It''s just that the king is really embarrassed."


    "From the king''s point of view, intellectually speaking, the king can''t release Zhang Liao and Xun you. It''s a return of the tiger to the mountain. But the king had some worries and finally decided to change back to Sun Quan. "


    "I came here to tell you something."


    At this point, Zhang Zhao stopped for a moment and said, "the more outstanding you are, the more meritorious you have made for the king, the safer the sun family will be."


    "You are a wise man. You should understand what I mean."


    "Now that you''ve surrendered, it''s not good for you and it''s not good for the sun family."


    "What''s more, you also have a talent. You can''t bury it like this."


    Zhang Zhao continued: "even for the sake of respecting his wife, Gong Jin should rise up. Do you want her to be depressed with you all the time, and be upset all the time? "


    After hearing this, Zhou Yu''s face became serious.


    Zhang Zhao''s words touched Zhou Yu''s heart.


    Every one of them is in Zhou Yu''s heart.


    For the sake of the sun family and Xiao Qiao, he has to rise up.


    Zhou Yu sat up straight, arched his hands and said, "Duke Zhang raised some points, and Yu kept them in mind."


    Zhang Zhao stroked his beard under his jaw and gave a little smile. He was relieved. Zhou Yu''s ability to think through and assist Liu Xiu with all his strength is extremely beneficial to Zhou Yu, as well as to Wu officials, including Liu Xiu.


    Gu Yong sat aside and did not speak.


    This time, he just accompanied Zhang Zhao with no other ideas.


    In the state of Wu, Gu Yong was not the real core of Sun Quan, but was valued by Sun Quan.


    In front of Sun Quan, Gu Yong''s discourse power is not enough.


    Now that they are all subordinated to Liu Xiu, it''s not appropriate for him to talk to Zhou Yu as a subordinate, because Zhou Yu is no longer a former governor. If he talks to Zhou Yu as a subordinate of Liu Xiu, it''s easy for Zhou Yu to think that he''s putting on airs.


    It is better not to say so.


    After Zhang Zhao said something, he said: "Gongjin, since you have figured it out, I''ll go to the king and say it for you."


    Zhou Yu arched his hand and said, "thank you, Mr. Zhang."


    As a former governor of the state of Wu, Zhou Lang of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu has his own pride.


    He is brilliant and a man of great ability.


    Everyone with ability has pride.


    Zhou Yu also has his own arrogance, let him look down for Liu Xiu, Zhou Yu''s heart certainly does not want to.


    Zhang Zhao took the lead.


    Naturally, Zhou Yu would like to.


    Zhang Zhao got up and said, "Gongjin, you wait for the news. I''ll leave."


    Gu Yong also got up to leave.


    After they left Zhou Yu''s residence, Zhang Zhao looked at Gu Yong and said, "Yuantan, I want to go into the palace to meet the king and say something about Gongjin. You are busy with your work


    Gu Yong arched his hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, goodbye."


    Gu Yong left immediately.


    Gu Yong feels uncomfortable following Zhang Zhao all the time.


    Zhang Zhao got into the carriage and went to the palace.


    Entering the palace, Zhang Zhao smoothly met Liu Xiu, saluted and said: "old minister Zhang Zhao, meet the king."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, please sit down!"


    "Thank you, king."


    Zhang Zhao gave thanks.


    After taking his seat, Zhang Zhao said, "king, I''ll go to Zhou Yu''s residence. After talking with him, Zhou Yu is willing to become an official and serve him sincerely."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "I''m curious about how Duke Zhang persuaded Zhou Yu. This is a stubborn temper, not easy to be soft


    Zhang Zhao said: "the old minister told Zhou Yu that the more meritorious he made under the king, the more meritorious he made, the better the life of the sun family, and Xiao Qiao would not be in a dilemma. Finally, Zhou Yu agreed. "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu said, "Duke Zhang hit the nail on the head. It''s really in Zhou Yu''s heart."


    Zhou Yu and the sun family have long been linked together.


    And Xiao Qiao is the only person Zhou Yu cares about.


    Zhang Zhao''s persuasion with Sun Jia and Xiao Qiao just made it difficult for Zhou Yu to refute.Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "come on."


    A valet came in and saluted, "king."


    Liu Xiu said, "please Yi Ji, Kuai Liang, Jia Xu, Zhou Yu and Lu Su to enter the palace."


    "Here it is


    The servant got the order, turned around and stepped down.


    After hearing this, Zhang Zhao was puzzled. What he said was about Zhou Yu. How did he involve all these people. Yi Ji, Kuai Liang, Jia Xu and Lu Su were all important officials of Chu.


    Yi Ji and Kuai Liang have been dealing with the internal affairs of Chu.


    Although Jia Xu was in obedience to Liu Xiu, his status in Chu was no less than that of Yi Ji and Kuai Liang.


    As for Lu Su, he was also a man who had followed Liu Xiu for many years.


    These people had great rights in the state of Chu.


    Liu Xiu said, "when it comes to Zhou Yu''s arrangement, I will make a slight adjustment. Originally, I planned to make an arrangement today, but the idea at that time was not very mature, and after Mr. Jia said something, there was no arrangement. When it comes to Zhou Yu, I''ve said it all together. "


    Zhang Zhao said: "the king is wise!"


    Liu Xiu smiles and shakes his head. He talks with Zhang Zhao.


    After a short time, Jia Xu, Lu Su and others came.


    They saluted Liu Xiu and sat down in the hall.


    Liu Xiuse said: "to call you six is to make a slight adjustment. In the past, Kuai Liang and Yi Ji were responsible for the government affairs of the state of Chu. As the state of Chu became larger and larger, there were more and more government affairs, which they could not cope with. "


    "So now, add a few more."


    "Jia Xu''s position as a military strategist should be taken into account, but his focus should be on government affairs."


    "When Zhang Zhao was under Sun Quan, he was always competent in dealing with the affairs of Wu state."


    "Zhou Yu is a man of both arts and martial arts. He is also involved."


    "Lu Su has been in Xiangyang for some time and has been dealing with government affairs. Now he is officially transferred to Xiangyang. As for your position as a military division of the third army, we should clearly hand over the position to Zhao Yun and rearrange the position. "


    "The six of you are in charge of all the government affairs of Chu."


    "You are responsible for all the big and small affairs of the state of Chu."


    Liu Xiu had expectations in his eyes. He said with a straight face: "you six people are in charge of the government affairs of the whole country, then you are directly responsible to the king."


    Liu Xiuzhi''s arrangement is actually very simple.


    As for the details, let Jia Xu, Kuai Liang, Zhang Zhao and others ponder carefully.


    Such a change is not big, and it is easier to operate.


    Jia Xu thought for a moment and asked, "king, six of us deal with the affairs of the state of Chu. The opinions of six people may not be able to reach an agreement. Therefore, there must be a person in charge. Who is in charge? "


    Liu Xiu glanced and said, "Kuai Liang is in charge of the whole."


    "Here it is


    Kuai Liang responded.


    The rest have no opinion.


    Kuai Liang had been dealing with the government affairs of the state of Chu all the time. He was generally responsible and reasonable.


    Liu Xiu said: "the six of you work together to arrange and adjust specific things."


    "Here it is


    When they heard the words, they all answered.


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhou Yu and said, "does Gong Jin have anything to say?"


    Zhou Yu said, "no, I will obey the king''s decision."


    Liu Xiu nodded and discussed some other things with the six people before he asked them to step down. With Kuai Liang, Zhang Zhao and other six people handling government affairs, Liu Xiu''s affairs can be reduced and he will not be tired of handling government affairs.

 Chapter 794

    Ye City, Wei palace.


    Yang Xiu rushed all the way and finally came back.


    Although he also practiced archery, riding and archery, he was also proficient in equestrian skills, but he came back from a long-distance attack.


    Although Yang Xiu could take a carriage, it was too time-consuming.


    It takes a lot of time.


    The result of riding a horse is that it is dusty and the whole person is quite tired.


    He went straight to the palace and asked the soldiers to report.


    Soon, the soldiers came out and asked Yang Xiu to enter the palace.


    When he came to the hall, Yang Xiu met Cao Cao.


    Today''s Cao Cao, although already prominent old style, but hale and hearty, has a dignified bearing. Rao is Yang Xiu, who is proud of his outstanding talent and dare not be presumptuous in front of Cao Cao.


    Yang Xiu saluted and said, "humble Yang Xiu, meet the king of Wei."


    Cao Cao noticed Yang Xiu''s fatigue and said, "master Yang came back on horseback."


    Yang xiudao: "yes!"


    Cao Cao said, "it''s hard for you."


    Yang xiudao: "humble job is not hard."


    "Sit down!"


    Cao Cao waved his hand, but there was a touch of appreciation in his eyes.


    Yang xiudao took his seat after thanking him, and then he said directly, "king, I''m a humble envoy to the state of Chu. After meeting Liu Xiu, he put forward the condition of exchanging hostages. Finally, Liu Xiu agreed to exchange hostages in Yangzhai County, Yingchuan county. We released Sun Quan, while Liu Xiu released Xun you and Zhang Liao. "


    When Cao Cao heard this, he was surprised.


    Liu Xiu is famous for being difficult.


    Sun Quan is a chicken rib, not very useful, and even in trouble.


    However, Liu Xiu agreed.


    Cao Cao, with a solemn expression, asked: "master Yang, Liu Xiu is not a good stubble. I''m afraid it''s not easy for Liu Xiu to agree. How did you persuade Liu Xiu? "


    Cao Cao has a desire to control, but he is more suspicious.


    Liu Xiu agreed directly, which made Cao Cao feel uneasy.


    He has been fighting with Liu Xiu for many years, but he has never seen Liu Xiu so straightforward.


    With a smile on his face, Yang Xiu had a look of pride in his eyes and said, "I''ll tell you back. When I first met Liu Xiu after I arrived in Xiangyang, I didn''t put forward the idea of exchanging hostages."


    "At that time, the humble official said that the state of Wu had been destroyed and asked Liu Xiu to release people according to the agreement."


    "As expected, Liu Xiu refused, and even proposed to let the king cede the land of the three states."


    "I have no choice but to leave."


    Yang Xiu looked bright in his eyes and continued: "after leaving the Chu palace, he lived in the city, and then attracted people to spread rumors that Liu Xiu was not willing to save Sun Quan''s life and exchange hostages with the state of Wei."


    "At that time, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and Lu Xun of the state of Wu were all subordinated to Liu Xiu."


    "Although these people are submissive, they are still thinking about their friendship with the state of Wu. They can''t ignore Sun Quan''s life and death."


    "In particular, Liu Xiu married sun Shangxiang."


    "Under such circumstances, on the one hand, Liu Xiu wanted to appease the officials who had just returned, on the other hand, he wanted to stabilize the hearts of the officials who had just returned. In the end, he summoned humble officials and agreed to the terms. "


    Yang Xiu said: "relying on the king Tianwei, Liu Xiu can only give in and has to agree."


    "Good!"


    After listening, Cao Cao couldn''t help but praise.


    What Yang Xiu did made Cao Cao appreciate it.


    Cao Cao said, "Yang Xiu, this time, you did a good job."


    Yang xiudao: "thank you for your praise."


    Cao Cao big sleeve a brush, way: "you and go down to rest, this king begins to arrange."


    "Here it is


    Yang Xiu was relieved and turned back.


    After successfully completing what Cao Cao ordered, he was relieved.


    The next thing, it has nothing to do with him.


    "Somebody


    Cao Cao gave an order.


    A servant came in, and Cao Cao said, "call Xun Yu and Cheng Yu."


    "Here it is


    The valet went down to inform.


    It wasn''t long before Xun Yu and Cheng Yu came to the hall.


    They took their seats after the salute.


    Cao Cao looked solemn and said, "Yang Xiu has come back from Xiangyang. The news he brought back is that Liu Xiu agreed to exchange Zhang Liao and Xun you. The place of exchange was Yangzhai County in Yingchuan county. What do you think of it? "


    Xun Yu and Cheng Yu are Cao Cao''s confidants.


    Xun Yu said without thinking: "no matter what abacus Liu Xiu is playing, at present, it is necessary to exchange hostages. It''s worth replacing Zhang Liao and Xun you with Sun Quan. "


    Cheng Yu stroked his white beard under his jaw and said, "I also think it''s necessary to change people. It''s just that this matter needs to be considered in the long run and carefully arranged to ensure everything goes smoothly."


    Cao Cao nodded and said, "I''m worried about Liu Xiu''s obstruction."


    Cheng Yu said: "as long as Sun Quan is in our hands, there will be no problem. So the problem now is to guard Sun Quan well and ensure that Sun Quan is not robbed after he is escorted out of Yecheng. "Xun Yu said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that you be escorted by tiger and leopard, and let General Xu walk in person."


    Tiger and leopard riding is the most elite cavalry.


    Xu Chu was the most important general of Cao Cao.


    Let Xu Chu lead the tiger and leopard riding escort, has enough attention.


    Cao Cao said, "when I think about it, let Xu Chu lead the tiger and leopard to escort, and then let Yang Xiu go to negotiate the handover. What do you think?"


    The opinions of Xun Yu and Cheng Yu coincide with those of Cao Cao.


    Therefore, Cao Cao proposed the candidate for the handover.


    Xun Yu said: "feasible!"


    Cheng Yu also said: "feasible!"


    Both of them answered at the same time without any objection.


    Without hesitation, Cao Cao ordered Yang Xiu and Xu Chu to escort Sun Quan to Yangzhai county.


    After Cao Cao had made arrangements, Cheng Yu said, "king, the kingdom of Wu was annexed by Liu Xiu. If the prince and Sima Yi were stationed in Guangling County, it would be unnecessary. Old minister thinks, whether leave Yu ban garrison only, transfer Prince and Sima Yi back


    "Sure!"


    Cao Cao didn''t even think about it. He answered directly.


    But when he thought about the state of Wu, Cao Cao sighed.


    He even had Sun Quan in his hands, but he was defeated in the end.


    But I can''t help it.


    Cao Cao agreed. Cheng Yu kept it in mind and was ready to arrange it.


    Cao Cao changed his words and said, "it''s may now for Duke Zhong De and Wenruo. It''s June and July when they return to Zhang Liao and Sun Quan. What do you think of attacking Chu directly at that time?"


    After hearing this, Cheng Yu''s expression became dignified.


    So was Xun Yu.


    Attacking Chu is not a simple matter.


    Cheng Yu thought for a moment and said, "king, June and July are the rainy season. At that time, it will be rainy and the roads will be muddy. In addition, it is difficult for our navy to break through the Yangtze River, so it is not appropriate to attack Jiangdong. "


    "The only one who can attack is Luoyang and Nanyang County."


    "Luoyang in June and July has little influence."


    "But in the south of June and July, the weather is different. It''s humid and sultry."


    "Once we go south, our soldiers will also be affected."


    Cheng Yu raised his head and said, "I suggest that if the king wants to attack Liu Xiu, he should rest for half a year. After the spring of next February, we will attack the state of Chu with thunder. "


    Xun Yu said: "the king, the minister seconded."


    If they were fighting in the north, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu were not worried.


    Just entering the south, they suffered too much losses, so it''s most appropriate for them to think about spring.


    After hearing this, Cao Cao was silent and said, "well, let''s talk about it next year."

 Chapter 795

    Xiangyang, Wangfu.


    In the harem.


    In sun Shangxiang''s residence, Liu Xiu and Wu Guotai sit together. Their mother and daughter haven''t seen each other for many years. Now they often meet and chat with each other, and their relationship is quite close.


    Wu Guotai said: "little sister, there is one thing my mother always wants to say, but she doesn''t know how to say it."


    Sun Shangxiang said, "is it the second brother''s business?"


    "Well!"


    Wu Guotai nodded.


    Wu said, "before the king of Chu was no longer in Xiangyang, you couldn''t speak. Now that the king of Chu is back, you can tell him if you can change Zhongmou back. His father and elder brother passed away early, so the sun family could not do without supporting the men in the family. Although Zhongmou is sorry for you, he is your second brother after all. "


    After hearing this, sun Shangxiang frowned slightly.


    She was also in a bit of a dilemma when it came to what Wu Guotai wanted.


    Neither she nor Huang Yueying, Ma Yunlu and others have ever interfered in Liu Xiu''s political affairs.


    Once she spoke, she was worried that it would be difficult for Liu Xiu.


    Sun Shangxiang and Sun Quan used to have a very stiff quarrel, but now looking back, the pain of the past may not be a bad thing now.


    Moreover, Sun Quan is sun Shangxiang''s elder brother after all.


    Sun Shangxiang also wanted to save Sun Quan, but there was a premise that Liu Xiu would not be embarrassed.


    She married Liu Xiu, who is Liu Xiu''s person.


    Marry with your husband!


    Today, although she has the blood of the sun family, she is a member of the Liu family.


    Sun Shangxiang didn''t apologize to the sun family.


    On the contrary, her existence was used by Sun Quan several times.


    Sun Shangxiang looked at Wu Guotai with a yearning look and sighed: "mother, my daughter will do her best."


    Wu Guotai was relieved to see her daughter agree.


    During her stay in Xiangyang, although she was monitored, she was not forbidden to enter or leave. So Wu Guotai also inquired about the news. Liu Xiu was quite good to sun Shangxiang.


    Under such circumstances, Wu Guotai believed that when sun Shangxiang spoke, Liu Xiu would not refuse.


    Wu Guotai turned her eyes and said with a smile, "Xiang''er, how many years have you been married to the king of Chu?"


    Sun Shangxiang took a look at Wu Guotai and said, "it''s almost ten years since 1989."


    Wu Guotai said, "Xiang''er, you haven''t been pregnant for so many years. Not when the mother said you, a woman has no son, is rootless Ping. You have to hurry up and have a son as soon as possible. "


    "The state of Wu was destroyed, and my mother knew that it was impossible to recover."


    "But now you are the woman of the king of Chu. The king of Chu is becoming more and more powerful. I''m afraid there will be a day when he will ascend to the top."


    "If you give birth to a son as soon as possible, you may be the mother of our country in the future."


    Wu Guotai''s eyes sparkled with fine light.


    If her daughter is pregnant with a son, her status and power will change.


    When sun Shangxiang heard Wu Guotai''s words, his eyes suddenly became cold.


    There are not many women in Liu Xiu''s harem.


    All along, several women get along well.


    And Liu Xiu is also a bowl of water Duanping, did not neglect which woman.


    Of course, sun Shangxiang has some ideas about children, but he is not as good as consolidating his position with his son. Because she knows very well that everything comes from Liu Xiu.


    As long as Liu Xiu pities, everything will be there.


    This is not to say that sun Shangxiang does not want a son, does not want a child.


    As Liu Xiu''s woman, sun Shangxiang also hopes to have one.


    However, over the years, no one was pregnant except Huang Yueying, who gave birth to a son. Sun Shangxiang could see something, so he didn''t ask for it.


    Sun Shangxiang said in a deep voice: "mother, what to do and what not to do, the daughter knows. The daughter is not a three-year-old urchin. If you understand, don''t worry about it."


    Wu Guotai frowned and said, "xianger, mother is also for you."


    Sun Shangxiang said: "if my mother is really for my good, don''t interfere in my affairs. My daughter has already grown up. She has her own thoughts in her heart. "


    Over the years, no one was pregnant except Huang Yueying who gave birth to a son.


    Such a thing is naturally Liu Xiu''s consideration.


    Sun Shangxiang is going to do something now, but in the end, he will suffer losses.


    Wu Guotai sighed: "you..."


    Sun Shangxiang continued: "if the mother is really for the good of her daughter, she will provide for the aged well and do less other things. After so many years, my daughter came here like this, and I didn''t feel bad. Mother, your daughter won''t keep you. "


    "You..."


    As soon as Wu Guotai heard sun Shangxiang''s words, she got angry and swallowed them.


    "Well, you''ve grown up."


    Wu Guotai said, "it''s just about your second brother. Don''t forget it."


    Wu Guotai stood up and left with her back bent.Sun Shangxiang looked at Wu Guotai''s leaving figure, opened his mouth, but did not ask to stay.


    She has her own martial arts, not a weak woman.


    She has a firm mind and a mind of her own.


    At this time, if the swing, in the end, but affected. Instead of doing so, it''s better to cut the mess and set things straight.


    Sun Shangxiang sat in the room, sighed, rubbed his face, and then recovered.


    "Step on it! Step on


    Suddenly, a rapid voice came.


    A maid came in a hurry and said happily, "madam, here comes the king."


    Sun Shangxiang smell speech, is also rub stand up.


    With a smile on her face, she went to the door and saw Liu Xiu coming. She said happily, "king."


    "Well!"


    Liu Xiu nodded and took sun Shangxiang''s hand directly.


    Sun Shangxiang was a little shy, but he didn''t struggle, because it was something he was used to.


    There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority in Liu Xiu''s life.


    The maidservants were all eyes. They left quickly one by one, leaving Liu Xiu and sun Shangxiang behind.


    They sat down in the room.


    Liu Xiu said, "when I first came here, I saw your mother leave."


    Sun Shangxiang smell speech, body a stiff, expression slightly embarrassed.


    Liu Xiu was so smart that he knew that Wu Guotai had something to do with him as soon as he saw sun Shangxiang''s expression. Now it is Sun Quan in the north that worries Wu Guotai.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "it''s about Sun Quan?"


    "Well!"


    Sun Shangxiang nodded.


    As soon as the words changed, sun Shangxiang immediately said, "king, after all, he is my second brother. If possible, without harming the interests of the state of Chu and affecting the king''s political affairs, we can get him back and ask the king to be accommodating. If it affected the state of Chu, it would be even more difficult for the king to deal with it. If I marry the king, I will be the king''s man. "


    The words expressed sun Shangxiang''s heart.


    Liu Xiu was also quite moved.


    There are some experiences between Liu Xiu and sun Shangxiang.


    At first, they both decided to get married, but in the end, because of Sun Quan, the marriage broke down.


    Later, Sun Quan took the initiative to marry sun Shangxiang to Liu Xiu.


    After a series of things, the final result is achieved.


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "you don''t have to worry about Sun Quan. Cao Cao sent people to negotiate in exchange for Xun you and Zhang Liao. The king has promised Cao Cao, Xun you and Zhang Liao to return to Sun Quan. "


    "Ah


    Sun Shangxiang exclaimed.


    Her eyes, showing dignified look, said: "king, I know Xunyou and zhangliao."


    "Both of them are very talented."


    "Xun you was good at military strategy, and Zhang Liao was good at leading troops in war."


    "Is it not a loss to change back to the second brother now?"


    Sun Shangxiang looked embarrassed.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Xiang''er is really smart. This is what I promised Cao Cao. However, I have arranged for Deng Zhan to take the royal guards out and ask them to rescue Sun Quan before exchanging hostages. As long as Sun Quan is rescued, everything will be easy to say. For the time being, this is the only way, and there is really no other way to achieve both ends. "


    Sun Shangxiang also felt that this was the most suitable one.


    She has her own martial arts practice and is more familiar with the art of war. She knows that once she returns them to Xun you and Zhang Liao, it will be a disaster.


    Such a thing can never be done.


    Sun Shangxiang said, "thank you very much. I''ll thank you for your second brother."


    Liu xiudao: "between you and me, why thank you."


    "Step on it! Step on


    All of a sudden, another rush of footsteps came.


    Sun Shangxiang''s servant girl came in. After saluting, she said, "madam, madam, please go quickly."


    "What''s the matter?"


    Sun Shangxiang had some doubts.


    She is also rare to get along with Liu Xiu alone.


    Servant girl way: "childe cry more than, big madam asks you to press a pressure."


    Sun Shangxiang said, "I know. I''ll go right away."


    Liu xiudao: "let''s go. Let''s go together."


    At this time, Liu Xiu was a little curious. What happened to his son''s crying? Huang Yueying couldn''t manage it. She asked sun Shangxiang to deal with it.


    Sun Shangxiang said, "Your Majesty, wait a moment. I''ll change my clothes."


    "Well!"


    Liu Xiu is waiting.


    When sun Shangxiang goes to change her clothes, she calls for a servant girl. She tells Huang Yueying that Liu Xiu is by her side and wants to go with her.


    After the maid left, sun Shangxiang changed her clothes and came to Liu Xiu''s side: "the king has been waiting for a long time."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "let''s go!"


    They went together to Huang Yueying''s yard.

 Chapter 796

    In Huang Yueying''s yard, Shi Xuan and Ma Yunlu have already arrived.


    Several women looking at the crying Liu Zhen, are helpless, do not know what to do?


    Liu Xiu enters with sun Shangxiang and happens to see this scene.


    Liu Zhenzheng was crying. Seeing sun Shangxiang coming, he was stunned for a moment, and then continued to cry. Especially after seeing Liu Xiu, he cried even more.


    All along, Liu Xiu dotes on Liu Zhen.


    Liu Xiu is not afraid.


    Liu Xiu frowned at the scene.


    Liu Zhen is eight years old now.


    Eight year old children are no longer children.


    The children of poor families have already shouldered the burden of the family.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Yueying and asked, "Yueying, what''s the matter?"


    Huang Yueying said with a smile: "husband, it''s nothing. It''s just that zhen''er is naughty."


    Just now, sun Shangxiang''s servant girl had already come and said that Liu Xiu had come with her. Huang Yueying also wanted Liu Zhen not to cry, but in fact, Huang Yueying''s words didn''t work at all. He couldn''t persuade Liu Zhen. The more he was coaxed, the more noisy he was. That Liu Xiu has come, but there is no change, Liu Zhen is still crying on the ground.


    Liu Xiumei frowned, but also squatted down and asked, "zhen''er, what''s the matter?"


    When Liu Zhen saw Liu Xiu asking, he choked twice.


    Then Liu Zhen said, "my mother won''t let me play with Yueer."


    Liu Xiumei head a pick, way: "who is the moon?"


    Liu Zhen said: "yue''er is a little maid in the palace. I like to play with her. When I grow up, I want to marry her."


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he was shocked by thunder.


    The eight year old knows that he is going to marry the maid in the palace.


    Liu Xiu said, "if you play with Yueer, it''s nothing. Why doesn''t your mother let you play with her?"


    "Husband, zhen''er is young and doesn''t know about men and women. What''s more, this news is spoiled by the elders. Many times he played truant and didn''t study. Mr. morally has complained several times. It''s just because my husband has been outside, I didn''t say. If it goes on like this, it won''t work. In particular, the boy only knows how to get along with the servant girls in the palace. He doesn''t want to make progress, and he doesn''t study. If it goes on like this, I''m afraid it will cost him a lot. "


    When she spoke, Huang Yueying expressed her hatred for iron.


    Liu Zhen is her son and she loves him very much.


    But Huang Yueying also knows that Liu Zhen must be a dandy in the long run.


    Therefore, Huang Yueying repeatedly wanted to teach Liu Zhen a lesson, wanted to change Liu Zhen, but never fully displayed.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu frowned even more.


    It turned out that he doted on Liu Zhen because he was out for a long time and didn''t spend much time with his children.


    Now it seems that the boy is a bit crooked.


    Liu Xiu said, "zhen''er, why don''t you read?"


    Liu Zhen held his head high and said, "I''m the son of my father. I''m the son of Chu. What do you read? If I don''t study, I will be king of Chu in the future. Father, please dismiss my husband. I don''t want to read, I want to play with Yueer. "


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, his face suddenly became cold.


    When Huang Yueying heard Liu Zhen''s words, her heart also trembled.


    At the moment, Huang Yueying did not care to teach Liu Zhen a lesson. She said: "husband, king, zhen''er is young and doesn''t understand. I will teach him well."


    Liu Zhen is Liu Xiu''s only son.


    However, Liu Xiu is still young, and he will certainly have children in the future.


    Liu Xiu dotes on Liu Zhen, but it''s really disappointing for Liu Zhen to say such a thing.


    Sun Shangxiang also said: "king, zhen''er is young after all."


    When Shi Xuan and Ma Yunlu saw this, they tried to persuade them one after another.


    There is only one child in the family, and several women treat them as sons.


    Now Liu Zhen''s words are worrying them.


    Liu Xiu looked at Liu Zhen and asked again, "Zhen Er, do you really think so?"


    Liu Zhen raised his head and said, "a man is a man, and his son disdains to lie."


    "The son will inherit his father''s foundation in the future. With so many people to help him, what book will he read?"


    "It''s the same without reading."


    "Father, it''s too hard to read. My son will never read."


    Like a little adult, Liu Zhen is very firm in his opinion. He just doesn''t want to read.


    It''s boring to sit in the classroom every day.


    Liu Zhen continued: "father, please help your son."


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu patted Liu Zhen on the head and said, "Father knows, OK, don''t cry. My father will help zhen''er. "


    "Well!"


    When Liu Zhen heard this, he was so happy that he made a face at Huang Yueying.Liu Xiu got up and said, "go down and play."


    "Well, father is the best."


    Liu Zhen gets up with a smile, and then flies away.


    Huang Yueying said, "my husband, zhen''er is young. Now is the time to be taught. Let it go at this time, and it will cost you later. How can my husband spoil him? "


    Seeing Liu Xiu''s action, Huang Yueying couldn''t see it any more.


    If it goes on like this, her son will be abandoned.


    Liu Xiu chuckled twice and said, "let zhen''er play again. In two days, I''ll adjust it for him."


    Huang Yueying was also relieved.


    When sun Shangxiang and others saw this, they were all relieved.


    What Liu Zhen said just now really made them jump.


    Liu Xiu seldom has time to spare, so he accompanies several girls and talks with them first.


    In the evening, Liu Xiu took a rest in Huang Yueying''s room.


    Liu Xiu accompanied several women to celebrate the festival.


    After a break, Liu Xiu was busy again, marking and handling government affairs.


    However, with Jia Xu, Kuai Liang, Zhang Zhao and others to deal with the matter in a centralized way, Liu Xiu''s hands are not complicated.


    Liu Xiu has time to deal with other things.


    On this day, Liu Xiu personally went to lumen academy to visit pound and Sima Hui.


    Liu Xiu looked at Mr. pound and said, "teacher, is Kong Ming still used to it in the academy?"


    Pound is fair: "OK!"


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    In fact, Liu Xiu wanted Zhuge Liang to participate in the internal affairs.


    There is no doubt about Zhuge Liang''s talent.


    If Zhuge Liang could go out to help him, things would be more perfect, but Liu Xiu didn''t insist.


    Liu Xiu turned his eyes and looked at Sima Hui again. He said, "Mr. moral, you have to worry about zhen''er."


    Sima Hui heard the speech and sighed: "I''m incompetent."


    When it comes to teaching students, Sima Hui is also very good at it.


    It''s just that Liu Zhen doesn''t keep his hand. He''s younger, more naughty and disobedient, so it''s very difficult to teach.


    Liu Xiu said: "I know about zhen''er. I asked him personally, but he even said that he would inherit the state of Chu in the future, so there was no need to read. Well, this boy is a headache. "


    Sima Hui said: "it is precisely because we want to inherit the state of Chu that we have to study more."


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s just that he doesn''t understand the truth."


    Sima Hui said, "what do you think of the king of Chu?"


    Liu Xiu replied: "what zhen''er relies on is nothing more than the doting of Yue Ying and others, and his status as the son of Chu. Now he is confident that the ordinary method is useless. So I''m going to take extraordinary measures. "


    On hearing this, Mr. pound raised his eyebrows and asked, "what''s the most important way?"


    When he heard the word "extraordinary means", Pound''s heart hung.


    Liu Xiuse said: "depose zhen''er''s position as the son of the world, and suspend the position of the son of the world. Then, throw zhen''er into the army and let Huang Hu take him. Before let zhen''er and Huang Hu learn martial arts, almost did not play a role. Today, only when zhen''er is trained as a soldier and given any care can he endure hardship and change. "


    Now Liu Zhen is a dandy.


    If it goes on like this, it will be useless.


    Therefore, Liu Xiu chose the most direct and popular means.


    Brush!


    When Pang Degong and Sima Hui heard the speech, their faces became dignified.


    Liu Zhen is the son of the world. Once he is deposed, the consequences will be serious.


    Pound just: "really want this?"


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice, "if you want to make this boy change, you have to work hard. The position of son of the world is just a vacancy. If he has the ability, no one can take it away. If he can''t, he can''t sit. So, let him suffer. Seven or eight year old boys, it''s time to be sensible. "


    After listening, Pang Degong and Sima Hui understood.


    Liu Xiu''s deposing Liu Zhen was not really to depose him, but to make him more successful.


    Pound is fair: "can try."


    Sima Hui said: "I also think it is feasible. I will continue to teach him."


    Liu xiudao: "in the future, Liu Zhen will live and eat in the military camp, and there will be no specialization. Practice during the day, and bother Mr. moral at night. If he''s not obedient, just smoke and don''t stay


    Sima Hui smoked from the corner of his mouth.


    He stood in silence for Liu Zhen.


    Liu Zhen, this time, is a real loser.

 Chapter 797

    Not long after Liu Xiu returned to the palace, the order to depose Liu Zhen''s son spread.


    In the court, officials talked about it.


    And in the harem.


    Huang Yueying is flustered.


    Even the daughters of sun Shangxiang, Shi Xuan and Ma Yunlu felt that Liu Xiu was making a fuss. After all, Liu Zhen is a child. Even if he made a mistake, he would not be dismissed directly.


    Now the situation is very serious.


    Huang Yueying invited sun Shangxiang, Shi Xuan and Ma Yunlu together.


    Huang Yueying said, "three sisters, what do you think of zhen''er? I''m afraid my husband is really angry this time. "


    The relationship between Huang Yueying and Liu Xiu has been for nearly ten years.


    Liu Xiu has nothing to say to Huang Yueying.


    Now, Huang Yueying is in a state of panic.


    All this comes from Liu Zhen.


    She thought that she had no other idea. After all, the imperial edict to abolish zhen''er only said that zhen''er was obstinate. "


    Sun Shangxiang said: "my husband has a son named zhen''er. Who can I let him not be a real son? If jade is not polished, it is not a tool. My husband did this to polish zhen''er. "


    Ma Yunlu also said: "sister, don''t worry, it''s OK."


    Three women comforted Huang Yueying.


    Rao is so, Huang Yueying''s heart, also is still worried.


    Several women got together to talk about Liu Zhen.


    In the end, there was no result.


    After sun Shangxiang and others left, only Huang Yueying was left in the palace.


    She sent someone to call Liu Zhen over, saw Liu Zhen, a look of hate iron not steel, said: "zhen''er, your father abolished your son''s position. You pissed your father off, you know? "


    Liu Zhen raised his head and said, "mother, I''m fine. My father is just a son."


    Huang Yueying was very angry.


    "Well, well, well said!"


    Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside the palace.


    But Liu Xiu came.


    Liu Xiu looked at Liu Zhen and said, "does zhen''er think that there is no other candidate for father Wang?"


    Liu Zhenli said angrily, "if you don''t give your father''s inheritance to your son, do you give it to an outsider?"


    Liu Xiu said, "my father will give it to you if you can afford it."


    Liu Zhen was very unconvinced and said, "what can''t my son afford? A father can do it, a son can do it. "


    "It''s a good ambition. Unfortunately, you don''t have the ability." Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "I''ll ask you a question and see how you will answer it."


    Liu Zhen said, "ask my father."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Yueer who plays with you is ill and needs your care. At the same time, there are a lot of government affairs that you have to deal with. What do you do? "


    Huang Yueying listened and looked at Liu Zhen with hope.


    At the moment, she does not ask Liu Zhen''s answer how beautiful, just ask Liu Zhen not to talk.


    Liu Zhen didn''t even think about it. He said directly, "of course, it''s to take care of Yueer."


    Liu Xiu asked, "why?"


    Liu Zhen opened his big black eyes and said: "Yueer is her son''s playmate. When she is ill, her son naturally needs to take care of her."


    "If it''s serious, it''s irreparable."


    "But government affairs are different. Someone will deal with them."


    "So many officials, there will always be someone to do it."


    Liu Zhen said with a smile: "father, you will do the same, right?"


    After listening, Liu Xiu''s mouth twitched slightly.


    His son is really a bit of a "smart talker", which is hard to defend.


    Finally, Liu Xiu sighed helplessly.


    It seems that the abolition of Liu Zhen''s position as the son of the world did not make this boy happy at all.


    It''s said that as deep as the sea, Hou''s son is precocious, but Liu Xiu''s son is still very naive because he is well protected.


    Liu Xiu patted Liu Zhen on the shoulder and said, "OK, let''s go down and play. Father has something to say to your mother


    "Well!"


    Liu Zhen left with a smile.


    Before leaving, he made a face at Huang Yueying.


    After Liu Zhen left, Liu Xiu looked at Huang Yueying and said, "Yueying, seeing her son like this, do you still think it''s wrong to abolish zhen''er?"


    Huang Yueying heard the speech and was silent.


    A moment later, Huang Yueying said, "it''s just that zhen''er has been abolished. He will be affected."


    Liu Xiu said: "if he can''t get through this trivial matter, how can he inherit the state of Chu in the future?"


    After a pause, Liu Xiu continued: "as for zhen''er, I have decided to take him to the army and let him receive training in the army. I want to talk to you so that you won''t be distracted. If jade is not polished, it is not a tool. If zhen''er goes on like this, I''m afraid it''s really useless. "Huang Yueying frowned and said, "zhen''er is only eight years old. Is it right to enter the army now? Could it be a little later. Although zhen''er is naughty, he is still filial. I will also supervise his homework. "


    Liu xiudao: "wait another two years, zhen''er''s character will be completely formed. At that time, it will be difficult to change. About zhen''er, I''ve talked with Mr. Sima. During the day, zhen''er trains in the army, and at night, Mr. Sima teaches her lessons. "


    Huang Yueying immediately understood.


    Liu Xiu has made up his mind.


    I told her to avoid worrying.


    Huang Yueying said, "I listen to my husband''s arrangement, but can I go to the army to visit zhen''er?"


    "No!"


    Liu Xiu didn''t even think about it and refused.


    Once Huang Yueying visited Liu Zhen in the army, he would be affected.


    Liu Xiu threw the young Liu Zhen to the barracks in order to train him and make him mature as soon as possible. This may be cruel to Liu Zhen, but it is also a process that must be experienced.


    The state of Chu is not easy to inherit.


    If you want to wear a crown, you must bear it.


    If Liu Zhen didn''t have the ability to undertake this responsibility, Liu Xiu would not have handed over Chu to Liu Zhen. Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying made it clear that they did not leave and stayed in the palace with Huang Yueying.


    At night, Liu Xiu went to sun Shangxiang''s palace to have a rest.


    The next morning.


    When Liu Xiu finished washing, he sent someone to bring Liu Zhen after breakfast.


    Liu Zhen rubbed his sleepy eyes and said in a dissatisfied tone: "father, my son has not woken up. What can I do for you, later? Just at this time. If you have something to do, please tell me. After that, my son will go back to sleep. "


    After listening to Liu Xiu, he said in a deep voice, "my father will take you to the barracks."


    "What are you doing in the barracks?"


    Liu Zhen is a little curious.


    After all, he is an eight year old boy, and he is still curious about the army.


    Liu Xiu said: "after you go, you will know. Let''s go. Father will take you to Huang Hu''s camp. Before I let you learn martial arts with Huang Hu, you fish for three days and sun the net for two days. In addition, Huang Hu has been out all the time, and you haven''t learned well. Now, my father will show you something. "


    "Good!"


    Liu Zhen thought about it and agreed directly.


    Although he wants to sleep, he can enter the military camp to play, which is very attractive.


    Liu Xiu took Liu Zhen out of the palace and went straight to the barracks.

 Chapter 798

    Liu Xiu takes Liu Zhen into the barracks and finds Huang Hu.


    Liu Zhen said with a smile, "Uncle Huang, I''m here again."


    Huang Hu hugged his fist and said, "king."


    Liu Xiu nodded and sat down in the tent.


    Liu Zhen stood beside Liu Xiu without interrupting.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Hu and said, "Hu Zi, I''m here to entrust zhen''er to you."


    Huang Hu was stunned and didn''t know why.


    Before that, Liu Xiu also asked Huang Hu to teach Liu Zhen martial arts.


    However, Liu Zhen''s status is noble, and he doesn''t need to have much martial arts. Huang Hu doesn''t demand it either. After three days of fishing and two days of net drying, Liu Zhen didn''t teach him anything.


    Huang Hu said, "what''s your plan?"


    Liu Xiu looked at Liu Zhen and said, "zhen''er is eight years old, but he doesn''t study, doesn''t practice martial arts, and achieves nothing."


    "Generally speaking, now is a waste."


    "I''ll give him to you, and you''ll put zhen''er in the recruits."


    "Train as you should, don''t keep your hands."


    "As long as people are alive and not disabled, there will be no problem. Hard training is all."


    "What a soldier in the army wants to master, he must master all."


    "What a soldier in the army can''t master, he has to master."


    "If I can''t do it, I''ll tell you something."


    Liu Xiu''s tone was beyond doubt, and his eyes were more severe than ever before. He continued: "from now on, he lives and eats in the military camp. He doesn''t do anything special. He sleeps like a soldier."


    After hearing this, Huang Hu frowned even more.


    It will be very difficult to train according to Liu Xiu''s standard.


    Eight years old, after all.


    At this time, Liu Zhen also heard what Liu Xiu said.


    As soon as he heard that he wanted to be a big soldier, and that he had to live and eat in the barracks, Liu Zhen was not happy.


    Liu Zhen stood up and said in a loud voice, "father, I''m the son of King Chu''s family. I''m your son. How can I mix with the mud legs of the army?"


    "Father, I will not stay. I will go back to the palace."


    "I want to be with my mother."


    "I want to be with Yueer."


    "Father, if you want me to stay in the barracks, let me die."


    Liu Zhen''s eyes were shining with tears.


    At the thought of staying in the barracks, Liu Zhen was not willing to leave.


    Liu Xiugen didn''t pay attention to Liu Zhen. Instead, he looked at Huang Hu and said with a smile, "Hu Zi, do you hear me? He called the soldiers mud legs. If he is such a successor of the state of Chu, can he inherit the state of Chu in the future? "


    After hearing this, Huang Hu frowned.


    Liu Zhen''s words made Huang Hu, a veteran, unhappy.


    Liu Xiu continued: "one more thing, I have abolished zhen''er''s status as a son of the world. From now on, he has been an ordinary person. So we should train as we should, and we don''t have to worry about ourselves. "


    After hearing this, Huang Hu understood it.


    Obviously, it was Liu Zhen who jumped out and made Liu Xiu dissatisfied, so he threw it to the army.


    In the army, everything is different from the palace.


    Whether it''s food, clothing or anything else, it''s different.


    It can be said that Liu Zhen went from the sky to the earth.


    Under such circumstances, it is a huge blow to Liu Zhen.


    After thinking about it, Huang Hu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, my son is not old after all. When training in the army, those who are easy to strike him will probably lose their training. "


    Liu Xiu said: "if the practice is broken, it proves that he is a waste. Without him, there would be another successor to Chu. What I need is a capable successor to the state of Chu. You are responsible for the training during the day. At night, Sima Hui will come to the military camp to teach him to read and read. "


    After hearing this, Huang Hu''s eyes widened.


    Training in the daytime and reading in the evening is to practice Liu Zhen''s rhythm.


    Huang Hu can only expect Liu Zhen to pass.


    Liu Xiu once again said, "tiger, don''t let the soldiers below release water. I will come to check and accept it. If Liu Zhen fails to pass the test, all the trainees will be dismissed, and you will be punished. So you should know what to do. "


    Huang Hu heard this, a bitter smile.


    It seems that it is impossible for him to give Liu Zhen water.


    Liu Xiu looked at Liu Zhen and said, "zhen''er, from today on, you will stay in the barracks."


    "Yes


    Liu Zhen stopped making noise at this time.


    Although the boy is naughty, he is not ignorant.


    From Liu Xiugang''s words, he knew that he couldn''t get away with it, and he simply stopped making trouble.


    Liu Zhen said: "father, zhen''er will leave the barracks in a dignified manner."


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu put a smile on his face and said, "I hope so. My father also hopes to see this day."He patted Liu Zhen on the shoulder, stood up and said, "tiger, it''s up to you."


    With that, Liu Xiu went out.


    Liu Zhen directly chased him out. He looked at Liu Xiu''s back and cried out, "father, you really want your son to stay in the barracks."


    Liu Xiu, who was walking out, could not help shaking his head when he heard this.


    Just now, I thought this boy had some courage. It seems that he is a child after all.


    Liu Xiu''s back gradually disappeared in sight.


    After Liu Xiu left, Liu Zhen looked at Huang Hu and said, "Uncle Huang, please help me."


    Huang Hu said, "Shizi, you are the only one who can help you. Remember, your father is coming to check. If you''re not qualified, you''ll be in the barracks all your life. "


    On hearing this, Liu Zhen said in a loud voice, "no, I will not."


    He screamed, but Huang Hu''s face gradually cooled down.


    Huang Hu said in a deep voice: "Shizi, from today on, remember to call me general. You are now a new soldier in the army, no longer a son of the world. So, correct your identity. "


    Liu Zhen was shocked and said, "Uncle Huang, you..."


    "Come on!" yelled Huang Hu


    Suddenly, a soldier came to the tent.


    Huang Hu said, "go and call Wei Xin."


    "Here it is


    When the soldier got the order, he turned to arrange it.


    Wei Xin is a commander under Huang Hu. He is the most basic level officer and is responsible for the training of new recruits. After the army returned from Wujun, new soldiers were recruited to make up for the soldiers who had been lost on the battlefield.


    These recruits need to be trained.


    Weixin is responsible for the training of recruits.


    After a short time, Wei Xin came and said, "general."


    Huang Hu nodded slightly. He pointed to Liu Zhen and said, "this is Liu Zhen, the deposed son of Chu. When the king is thrown into the barracks, he will join your recruits and you will be responsible for training together. Young as he is, he has to do what a recruit should do. What a recruit can do, he must be able to do. From now on, he doesn''t have any identity. He is an ordinary soldier under your command. "


    Wei Xin took a look at Liu Zhen and frowned.


    Even if Liu Zhen was the abandoned son, he was also Liu Xiu''s son.


    It''s not easy to train Liu Zhen.

 Chapter 799

    Wei Xin laughed and said, "general, look at my soldiers. They are all fierce and domineering. They are not good at it. I''m afraid it''s not appropriate for him to be under my command. You see, let someone else take charge of the training. "


    Huang Hu said angrily: "smelly boy, do you want to resist?"


    Wei Xin said: "who dares at the end?"


    Huang Hu said directly: "don''t talk nonsense, Liu Zhen is your ice now. I see to tell you, the king is to carry out the acceptance. If the king fails to pass the inspection, you will go home to farm, and Laozi will be involved. So show your skills and train him well. In a word, he is a new recruit, let you practice. The king said, "as long as you are not disabled or dead, you will be fine."


    "I see!"


    Wei Xin sighed.


    He was a big event, but he had to do it.


    Wei Xin looked at Liu Zhen, waved his hand and said, "let''s go."


    Liu Zhen said stubbornly, "I don''t know!"


    Huang Hu looked in his eyes and said, "Wei Xin, it''s up to you. In a word, we can operate as we should. "


    Wei Xin nodded. He looked at Liu Zhen and sneered twice.


    As a commander of the flying tiger camp, although Wei Xin''s official position is not big, his martial arts are excellent. When he saw Liu Zhen resist, he stretched out his big hand like a fan and grasped the clothes on Liu Zhen''s back.


    Hand power, a pull up Liu Zhen.


    Liu Zhen, who is carrying and yelling, laughs and leaves.


    Now that everything has been arranged, Weixin will not be afraid.


    When Huang Hu saw that Liu Zhen had been taken down, he was no longer in charge.


    After Liu Xiu returned to the palace, Huang Yueying came directly and said, "husband, zhen''er is in the barracks. Are you still used to it?"


    Concern is expressed in words.


    Liu Zhen was the meat that fell out of her stomach, and she was extremely concerned.


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s OK."


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "Yueying, zhen''er is too stubborn. He must be well adjusted. If we do not adjust according to the present situation, the consequences will be very serious. Do you want him to be a dandy? "


    As soon as Huang Yueying heard this, she stopped talking.


    She knows the truth.


    She also knows that Liu Zhen must suffer in order to change. But even if it is understood, even if it is understood, but the thought of her son suffering in the barracks, Huang Yueying''s heart, can not stop suffering.


    Liu Xiu patted Huang Yueying on the shoulder and said, "it will be fine soon. Wait for zhen''er to come out of the army. He''s a real man. "


    "Well!"


    Huang Yueying nodded.


    She didn''t stay and left soon.


    Liu Xiu went back to his study.


    After sitting down, Liu Zhen''s situation also appeared in Liu Xiu''s mind.


    Liu Zhen was born in October by Huang Yueying, but he is also Liu Xiu''s son.


    Liu Zhen was in the military camp, and Liu Xiu was just as worried. It''s just that Liu Xiu didn''t show it. Liu Xiu must do it for the sake of Liu Zhen and the future Chu state.


    During the day, Liu Xiu didn''t have much to deal with.


    After all, there are Zhang Zhao, Kuai Liang and others.


    As the day passed, it was getting late.


    Liu Xiu took Huang Yueying with him and went to the flying tiger camp where Huang Hu was.


    The two entered without disturbing the others.


    When I came to Zhongjun Dagang, I met Huang Hu.


    Huang Hu Lian said: "at the end of the yellow tiger, meet the king and queen."


    Liu xiudao: "sit down."


    Take your seat.


    Huang Yueying couldn''t wait to say: "General Huang, what''s the situation with zhen''er. Is he used to the first day of training? "


    Huang Hu said: "it''s normal not to be used to it. The queen can rest assured that everything is well with the son of heaven."


    "I want to see him," said Huang


    Huang Hu did not answer, but looked at Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said, "Yueying, don''t go. If you show up, it will affect zhen''er. We''re here just to ask about the situation, that''s all


    After hearing this, Huang Yueying sighed, "can''t you have a look quietly?"


    Huang Hu said: "king, in the evening, the soldiers in the army are queuing up to eat. You can have a look at it from a distance. I don''t think Shizi will find it."


    "All right!"


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    Led by Huang Hu, a group of people quietly appeared in the distance of the line to get a meal.


    Standing for about a quarter of an hour, a small figure suddenly appeared among the soldiers.


    This is Liu Zhen.


    Liu Zhen, who has been tired all day, shrugs his head and looks powerless.


    His body is also dirty.


    When Huang Yueying saw it, her tears began to flow down.


    Liu Xiu looked in his eyes and asked, "is zhen''er used to eating at noon?"


    Huang Hu said: "I''m too tired after practice. I''ve been hungry for a long time. Everything tastes delicious. Shizi is not very selective in this respect. But it''s just the beginning. There may be some emotions behind it, but it''s better to get used to it in the army. "Liu Xiu nodded.


    Judging from the current situation, it''s OK.


    After Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying watch Liu Zhen disappear, they follow Huang Hu to leave.


    Entrusted with Huang Hu''s words, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying leave.


    Back to the palace, it''s dark.


    After dinner, Liu Xiu comforted Huang Yueying and left.


    In the next few days, Liu Xiu would ask about Liu Zhen''s training and Sima Hui''s teaching every day.


    Liu Zhen occasionally loses his temper and wants to be aggressive.


    But in the hands of Wei Xin, he was finally cleaned up and had no temper, so he had to train obediently.


    But on the whole, everything is going in the right direction.


    ¡­¡­


    North.


    Cao Cao arranged for Xu Chu to escort Sun Quan, and then arranged for Yang Xiu to go to the handover together.


    Together, they escorted Sun Quan to Yingchuan county.


    This time, there were 800 tigers and leopards riding.


    Cao Cao''s tiger and leopard riding soldiers are among the elite, with only a few thousand people.


    Today, eight hundred people have been sent to escort Sun Quan, which shows that Cao Cao attaches great importance to it.


    Chenliu county.


    Chenliu county is very close to Luoyang.


    After walking hundreds of miles to the west, I entered the boundary of Luoyang. However, in Chenliu County, it was Cao Cao''s sphere of influence. But here Xu Chu and Yang Xiu were on guard.


    The closer they got to Yingchuan County, the more alert they were.


    From Chenliu County, Chenliu County, to Yangzhai County, Yingchuan County, it''s five days at most.


    So at this time, they all started to be on guard.


    On the official road.


    An open area.


    Near noon, the sun was high.


    Xu Chu rode up to Yang Xiu and said, "master Yang, it''s noon now. It''s hot. Do you think it''s time to stop and have lunch before you go


    In June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.


    At this time, the soldiers on the way were also very hard, and they were all very hot.


    Yang Xiu looked up at the scorching sun above his head and said, "according to General Xu, we''ll stop and have a rest. After lunch, we''ll continue on our way."


    Xu Chu immediately ordered him to go down.


    The 800 cavalry stopped and rested in the open.

 Chapter 800

    Yang Xiu looked back at Sun Quan''s carriage and told the soldiers to ask Sun Quan to come down for a rest.


    Along the way, Sun Quan was in a carriage, and his back was aching.


    The soldier went to invite someone, but Sun Quan refused.


    Yang Xiu shook his head with a smile, and he stopped talking to Sun Quan.


    He has done his best to give Sun Quan face, but Sun Quan is not willing to, which is no wonder he.


    Xu Chu came to Yang Xiushen and said, "master Yang, I have a look at the map. If I walk twenty miles further, there will be a mountain forest. We have to go through the mountains before we can go on to Yingchuan county. "


    "Only according to the return of the spies, there may be bandits in the forest."


    "At that time, you should stay with Sun Quan''s carriage. Don''t be scattered by bandits."


    "Of course, it''s best not to meet bandits."


    "It''s just that in the current situation, it''s not clear whether there are bandits. I''ll say hello to master Yang first."


    In Xu Chu''s eyes, there was a touch of worry.


    I''m afraid the bandits in the mountains are not easy to be compared with.


    After listening, Yang Xiu frowned. He pondered for a moment and said, "General Xu, I have been to Xiangyang, Jingzhou from Yecheng many times, and I have also passed through Chenliu county."


    "Never met a thief before."


    "Why this time, there are thieves and bandits all of a sudden."


    "I''m afraid your suspicions are not true."


    Yang Xiu''s face showed a look of doubt, but after all, he was smart and sure enough. Suddenly, he said, "General Xu, you mean the bandits in the mountains 20 miles ahead, not the real bandits."


    "Yes," said Xu Chu


    Yang Xiu said in a deep voice, "it''s very likely that Liu Xiu sent someone to save Sun Quan."


    "Very likely," said Xu Chu


    Under the rule of Cao Cao, Chenliu county was the place where Cao Cao once operated. The bandits were eliminated and the political situation was stable.


    Under such circumstances, it is impossible to have thieves and bandits all of a sudden.


    Therefore, Xu Chu had his own judgment.


    Yang Xiu thought about it carefully and said, "General Xu, can we make a detour?"


    Yang Xiu is extremely afraid of Liu Xiu''s actions.


    He saw Liu Xiu many times in the state of Chu, but he didn''t get any good. He knew that Liu Xiu was powerful.


    Xu Chu said with a sneer, "master Yang, I will ride 800 tigers and leopards under my command. Why are you afraid of Liu Xiu''s men? In particular, Liu Xiu''s people pretended to be thieves and bandits and did not dare to show up in their real identities. What can such a thief do? "


    "Besides, we''ll make a detour here, and they''ll get the news soon."


    "The soldiers of the other side will also go to other places to act as thieves and bandits."


    "In short, it''s hard to avoid Liu Xiu."


    Xu Chu clenched his fist and said in a deep voice: "master Yang, this time, he also wanted to fight with Liu Xiu''s people. Eight hundred tigers and leopards are riding here to see what tricks he can play. "


    After Yang Xiu listened, his face fell into thinking.


    Xu Chu is confident, but Yang Xiu doesn''t think so. He is worried that the situation is out of control.


    The existence of Sun Quan is related to the life and death of Zhang Liao and Xun you. There should be no change here.


    Otherwise, Zhang Liao and Xun you will have a gap.


    Yang Xiu didn''t think about how to deal with it, so he didn''t refute Xu Chu and did so for the time being.


    It''s not long. The meal is ready.


    Bowl by bowl of rice out of the pot, one by one soldiers eat big mouthfuls of rice.


    Yang Xiu is tasteless and tasteless.


    In his heart, he was thinking about Sun Quan.


    If Sun Quan is not delivered safely, Zhang Liao and Xun you will be in danger.


    Yang Xiu ate with a solemn expression. He didn''t take a few bites, so he didn''t eat any more.


    Xu Chu looked in his eyes and shook his head, but he didn''t say much. Yang Xiu had Yang Xiu''s concerns, but Xu Chu had Xu Chu''s confidence.


    The tiger and leopard riders under his command are all elite.


    Facing a group of people pretending to be thieves, he was not afraid at all.


    Approaching the departure, suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and it began to rain heavily.


    The heavy rain fell down and soon wet the ground.


    The rain fell and the ground was wet.


    Under such circumstances, cavalry is not good for driving.


    Xu Chu sighed, then told the soldiers to take out the hat and coir raincoat, put them on, and began to look for shelter from the rain.


    Yang Xiu went with him.


    Looking at the dark sky, Yang Xiu suddenly had an idea in his mind. He went straight to Xu Chu and said excitedly, "General Xu, I have an idea."


    Xu Chu said, "what do you think of master Yang?"


    After all, Yang Xiu is a negotiator.


    Chu''s only escort.


    Therefore, even if Xu Chu could not see Yang Xiu carefully, he had to respect him.


    "It''s raining heavily now, and we have reason to stop," Yang said"Next, my plan is to


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    "This arrangement not only ensured the safety of Sun Quan, but also ensured that General Xu could do his best. In exchange for Xun you and Zhang Liao this time, we can''t afford to lose anything. "


    "So you can''t be too careful."


    "I''m going to arrange it like this."


    "What does general Xu think?"


    Yang Xiu''s eyes showed a look of expectation.


    Although he was expecting, in fact, Yang Xiu''s eyes had already made a decision, and his eyes were quite firm.


    The next thing is to follow his plan.


    After hearing this, Xu Chu said, "is it worth making such a noise? Would it be a little too cautious? "


    As for Yang Xiu''s plan, Xu Chu thought it was OK.


    But Yang Xiu''s solemnity made Xu Chu think that he attached too much importance to it.


    Yang Xiu shook his head and said with a smile: "General Xu, don''t you know the position of Xun you and Zhang Liao in the heart of the king? If you can''t get them back this time, how can you hand them over to the king after you go back? "


    "This time, we can only succeed, not fail."


    "If it fails, the loss of the state of Wei is immeasurable, and the king of Wei will also be hit."


    "So you can''t be too careful."


    Yang Xiu looked at Xu Chu and said, "this time, it''s settled."


    After hearing this, Xu Chu nodded and said, "just listen to you."


    "Well!"


    Yang Xiu also showed a smile on his face.


    As long as Xu Chu is willing to cooperate, Yang Xiu is sure to arrive in Yingchuan County safely.


    Once in Yingchuan County, there will be troops stationed in Yingchuan county.


    At that time, he will not be afraid of Liu Xiu''s tricks.


    It rained all the time, and the army''s speed slowed down.


    Find a shelter from the rain, all the soldiers hide from the rain, no longer go on.


    Sun Quan is still sitting in the carriage, his expression is old well.


    Today''s Sun Quan is quite upset.


    He didn''t want to go south or enter Xiangyang, because he didn''t want to be Liu Xiu''s prisoner. He would rather be a prisoner of Cao Cao than a prisoner of Liu Xiu.


    But now, Sun Quan has been reduced to this step.


    Thinking of going south to Xiangyang, Sun Quan was in a mess.


    When taking shelter from the rain, Yang Xiu came to Sun Quan''s side, said a word, Yang Xiu left.


    Hearing this, Sun Quan had to sigh in his heart.


    Time goes by little.


    After dark, the clouds dissipated.


    There are bright stars and bright moon in the sky.


    The moon is like a disk, and the stars are shining.


    Such a scene, tomorrow is a sunny day.


    Xu Chu led the army, which was still resting at night. The next morning, the army set out and went on to the direction of Yingchuan county.


    And the army was on its way, and it was getting closer and closer to the mountains twenty miles away.


    This mountain forest is called boar forest.

 Chapter 801

    There are a lot of wild boars in the mountain forest, so it is called wild boar forest.


    And in the mountains.


    A group of people are hiding here.


    This group of people is led by Deng Zhan.


    This time, Deng Zhan brought people to save people. He used the royal guards and mobilized some soldiers.


    The royal guards are responsible for rescuing Sun Quan, and then killing Sun Quan.


    The soldiers were responsible for blocking the Wei army.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of walking came from the forest.


    A middle-aged man in shabby clothes came running.


    This middle-aged man is also a soldier.


    It''s just like bandits.


    The soldier hugged his fist and said, "Mr. Deng, the latest news is that Sun Quan is less than five miles away from us. Soon, they will arrive. "


    When Deng Zhan heard the speech, his eyes glittered, and he said, "let''s explore again."


    "Here it is


    The soldier was ordered to turn and retreat.


    Deng Zhan also stood up. He directly called all the people under his command, and then began to take action.


    Everyone was lying in ambush in the boar forest.


    The team led by Xu Chu is getting closer and closer to the wild boar forest.


    Distance a little bit closer.


    Wuli road!


    Three miles!


    ¡­¡­


    In the twinkling of an eye, Xu Chu and his soldiers had completely entered the wild boar forest.


    The official road in the forest is not wide. The road is only one foot wide, with dense woods on both sides.


    In summer, envoys, cicadas are singing in the forest.


    The constant echo of the sound made the forest quite noisy.


    Chu''s cavalry, led by Xu, was still marching forward.


    While hiding in the mountains, Deng Zhan had seen Xu Chu''s cavalry.


    Deng Zhan waited quietly.


    When the cavalry entered the range of the archer''s ambush, Deng Zhan ordered: "Archer, release the arrow."


    At the command, the soldiers in hiding arched.


    "Whew! Whew


    On both sides of the forest, the soldiers in ambush immediately arched. All the bows and arrows were aimed at the Wei cavalry.


    Xu Chu saw this scene, but he was not flustered.


    "Go, go!"


    Xu Chu roared his orders.


    When the cavalry of the tiger and leopard got the order, they quickly charged.


    "Da! "Da!"


    The sound of the horse''s hooves is constantly ringing.


    Tiger and leopard riding soldiers as fast as lightning, constantly forward.


    Deng Zhan looked in his eyes, sneered, and ordered: "stumbling horse, up!"


    When the order was given, suddenly there was a stumbling horse in the air, straightening up in the air.


    One by one, one side had already been tied to the trunk.


    On the other side, by the soldiers.


    As soon as the stumbling rope was pulled up, the legs of the war horse were caught, and then fell to the ground.


    The horses fell down and the tigers and leopards suddenly got into chaos.


    Chu Jingguang glanced in his eyes.


    He had expected this situation for a long time, so he did not arrange it in advance. Because of the fall of horses, the formation of tigers and leopards is in disorder, and the other side will come out.


    Sure enough, in the constant fall of horses, tiger and leopard Riding Camp chaos, Deng Zhan issued an order: "sons, kill."


    With an order, Deng Zhan led the soldiers out.


    As soon as Deng Zhanyi rushed out, all his soldiers rushed out and killed the soldiers of Wei state.


    Xu Chu saw this scene, his eyes were cold.


    In the woods, the war horse was not dominant, and Xu Chu did not want to use the war horse to sprint.


    Xu Chu ordered: "all the soldiers listen to the order and dismount to meet the enemy."


    In an instant, all the tigers and leopards turned over and dismounted, carrying steel knives, and rushed to meet the "bandits" who had been killed.


    And the former fallen tiger and leopard riding soldiers also began to attack the enemy.


    Xu Chu was a pioneer with a long knife.


    Xu Chu is a first-class master of martial arts.


    He led the Wei soldiers to sprint. When he met the Chu soldiers, he easily penetrated the soldiers led by the royal guards and Deng Zhan.


    However, Deng Zhan is not in a hurry.


    Deng zhanrang is a soldier who drags Xu Chu and takes a team of royal guards to fight quickly.


    In close combat, Deng Zhan''s swordsmanship is like an antelope hanging its horn. He never stays behind.


    And the royal guards around Deng Zhan are the same.


    These people are swordsmen, trained killers.


    A group of people rushed to kill and soon approached Sun Quan''s carriage.


    After Deng Zhan arrived in Chenliu County, he always sent people to watch Wei''s troops. He knew that Sun Quan was riding in a carriage, so he went straight to the carriage.A group of people killed near the carriage.


    At this time, the Chu soldiers brought by Deng Zhan began to retreat because they could not stop Xu Chu.


    After all, it''s not really elite.


    After all, there is no real expert to lead the team,


    and Deng Zhan can''t drag Xu Chu down. His goal is Sun Quan.


    When he reached the carriage, Deng Zhan directly lifted the curtain of the carriage door.


    "Whew!"


    A cold sword light came straight to Deng Zhan''s chest.


    In his eyes, Deng Zhan was surprised. He quickly leaned back and fell to the ground to avoid the blow. At this time, a killer appeared in the carriage and killed Deng Zhan.


    Deng is proud to be a soldier.


    After Deng Zhan steadied his figure, he killed him, fought with the killer, and soon suppressed him.


    "My Lord, there is no one in the carriage."


    All of a sudden, a royal guard approaching the carriage called out loudly.


    When Deng Zhan heard the news, he secretly said that it was bad.


    At this time, Xu Chu had already killed thoroughly, and he had completely gained the upper hand. He roared: "the dog thieves from Chu state know that you are going to rob Sun Quan. I tell you, master Yang has already left with Sun Quan. Now, they are all out of Chenliu county. It''s impossible for you to catch up with master Yang. Ha ha ha, you''ve fallen into the trap... "


    At the moment, Xu Chu was very happy.


    It was a comfortable fight.


    Yesterday afternoon, Yang Xiu told Xu Chu that his plan was to let Xu Chu continue on his way and attract people from the boar forest.


    Last night, Yang Xiu and Sun Quan quietly took another road to leave.


    Although it will be a little more circuitous, it can keep Sun Quan.


    Xu Chu killed comfortably, but Deng Zhan''s face was completely gloomy.


    Failed!


    This time it was a complete failure.


    Not only the assassination of Sun Quan failed, but also the rescue of Sun Quan failed.


    "Withdraw!"


    Deng Zhan immediately ordered.


    Surrounded by mountains and forests, Deng Zhan ordered to retreat, and soldiers quickly entered the mountains and forests.


    In this way, Xu Chu could not catch up.


    After killing for a while, Xu Chu ordered the soldiers to clean up the formation.


    After a period of consolidation, the team continued on its way.


    On Deng Zhan''s side, after he left with the people of the royal guards and the soldiers who escaped, he also quickly ran to Yingchuan county.


    Along the way, Deng zhansi did not dare to stop.


    Rescue Sun Quan failed!


    Sun Quan''s assassination failed!


    Now we must send the news back to Xiangyang and ask Liu Xiu to make a decision.


    Deng Zhan ran all the way and soon returned to the kingdom of Chu in Yingchuan county.


    Deng Zhan came to Zhang Ren''s army.


    Entering the army, Deng Zhan looked at Zhang Ren and saluted: "Deng Zhan has met General Zhang."


    Zhang Ren smiles and says, "general Deng, please sit down."


    Deng Zhan sat down without hesitation, and said to the point: "General Zhang, I''ve been ordered to go north this time, and I want to rescue Sun Quan first. But unexpectedly, Cao Cao has made two preparations. Xu Chu is just a cover. The real Sun Quan has secretly come to Yingchuan. This time, the rescue of Sun Quan failed. Please send soldiers immediately and send the news back to us as soon as possible. "


    Zhang Ren listened and said, "no problem."


    Deng Zhan said: "General Huang Hu and his soldiers escorted Xun you and Zhang Liao into Yingchuan, did they?"


    Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "not yet."


    Hearing the speech, Deng Zhan was relieved: "that''s good. There''s still a chance to change."


    Zhang Ren said: "general Deng has been working hard all the way. Go down and have a rest first. I''ll arrange the next thing right away. "


    "Good!"


    Deng Zhan did not refuse and went down directly.


    Zhang Ren wrote a letter and called for the soldiers to see him off.


    From Yingchuan to Xiangyang, the soldiers were on their way 800 Li faster.


    In a short time, we have arrived in Xiangyang.


    The news was soon sent to Liu Xiu.


    When Liu Xiu got the news, he also sighed.


    I didn''t expect to fail!


    This affected Liu Xiu''s arrangement.


    Liu Xiu said, "come on!"


    The soldiers entered the palace and stood respectfully.


    Liu xiudao asked Fazheng, Kuai Liang, Yiji, Zhang Zhao, pangtong, Jia Xu, Gu Yong, Zhou Yu and Lu Su to come


    "Here it is


    The soldiers went down to give orders.


    Soon, everyone came to Liu Xiu''s palace.


    After the salute, all eyes fell on Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 802

    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "just got the news from Deng Zhan, he failed to take back Sun Quan. They went to ambush, even Sun Quan''s people did not see. This time, Cao Cao played a trick to build a plank road in the open and cross Chen Cang in the dark. "


    Pang Tong frowned.


    According to the original plan, he wanted to rob and kill Sun Quan.


    On the basis of rescuing Sun Quan, he killed Sun Quan quietly and let Sun Quan disappear in the world.


    In this way, Sun Quan''s power naturally disappeared.


    Now, Sun Quan is secretly sent to Yingchuan County, which means that Sun Quan must be replaced.


    Pang Tong said in a deep voice: "king, the rescue of Sun Quan failed. Once it was exchanged, it would do us all harm but no benefit."


    It is obviously not cost-effective to hand over Xun you and Zhang Liao.


    If Kuai Liang and Fazheng are in Cao Cao''s hands, it is necessary to exchange hostages.


    It''s just that Sun Quan is not worth it.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "to call you here is to discuss and see if there are other strategies that can not only change Sun Quan, but also leave Xun you and Zhang Liao."


    Until the end, Liu Xiu was not willing to give up.


    It''s just the current situation, even Liu Xiu thinks it''s very difficult.


    Zhang Zhao shook his head.


    In the current situation, Zhang Zhao can''t think of a solution.


    Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "Your Majesty, I''m afraid it''s a foregone conclusion. Unless the king no longer exchanges hostages. "


    Liu Xiu flicked his sleeve and shook his head: "no, if there is no way, then exchange hostages."


    "How can you go back on what you said?"


    "The exchange of information about the hostages has already been released."


    "If you return, what do people think of the king and the state of Chu?"


    "At that time, how to let the people of the world return to their hearts."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes twinkled with brilliance, and he said forcefully, "if it''s really not possible, just return Xun you and Zhang Liao. Although the tiger returns to the mountain, the state of Chu today is not afraid of Xun you and Zhang Liao. "


    "If the king can take them once, he can take them twice."


    "Let them go today and take them tomorrow."


    "Now there are only Chu and Wei States left in the world."


    "Once the world is unified, there will be an urgent need for talents."


    "Zhang Liao and Xun you didn''t surrender when they died. Now they come back to Cao Cao, and our king defeated Cao Cao in a dignified manner. When Cao Cao is defeated, they will naturally submit to him. "


    Liu Xiu looked around and said, "are there any other strategies? If not, exchange hostages. "


    Liu Xiu was not afraid, though he would return home.


    Today''s Liu Xiu has this confidence.


    In particular, Liu Xiu still wanted to recruit Cao Cao''s subordinates, which was a pity.


    Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others shook their heads one after another.


    Fazheng also shook his head, indicating that there was no way.


    Sun Quan is in Cao Cao''s hands, which is tantamount to pinching Liu Xiu''s weakness.


    Liu Xiu saw that people no longer put forward suggestions, and ordered: "pass the order to Huang Hu, let him exchange hostages."


    "Here it is


    Kuai Liang responded.


    Liu Xiu waved and the crowd dispersed.


    Liu Xiu sat alone in the hall and clenched his fists.


    In front of the officials under his command, Liu Xiu showed great indifference, but after all, he was uncomfortable to send Zhang Liao and Xun you away.


    "I will send you back today, and I will take you again in the future."


    "It''s up to you to stick to it then."


    "Xun you, Zhang Liao, you can''t run away."


    In Liu Xiu''s heart, he secretly made up his mind.


    Over the years, Liu Xiu has been working step by step, carefully operating, and now has a foundation.


    This time he suffered a loss in Cao Cao''s hands, Liu Xiu wrote it down.


    After the war with Cao Cao, one more escape.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    All of a sudden, a rapid sound of footsteps came.


    A handsome young man came in, this year is Deng AI.


    In the past, he followed Liu Xiu. Later, he studied in lumen academy, and at the same time, he was learning swordsmanship from Deng Zhan.


    this time when Deng Zhan went north, Liu Xiu was short of people, so he called Deng Zhan.


    Now Deng Zhan is nearly 20 years old.


    He is tall and well proportioned. He has a very handsome face, bright eyes, a nose like a gall, and an elegant appearance.


    Liu Xiu asked, "Xiao AI, what can I do for you?"


    Deng AI said hastily: "king, when Shizi was training in the barracks, he was feverish because of the rain. General Huang has asked a doctor for treatment, and sent someone to inform him. "


    Today''s Deng AI is no longer stuttering.


    He speaks very fluently.


    When Liu Xiu heard the news, his heart was tight.


    Just in a moment, Liu Xiu relaxed.It''s very common to train in the army.


    Because Liu Zhen was in the Royal Palace, he idled all day and had a bad health, so he was caught in the rain and had a fever.


    Such things are not uncommon.


    Liu Xiu said, "I know."


    Deng AI said: "my son is ill. Won''t you go to visit him?"


    Liu Xiu also wanted to go. After all, it was his son, his flesh and blood. How could he not care. But he went, I''m afraid it will affect Liu Zhen''s training, if let Liu Zhen up dependent mind, I''m afraid it will be invalid.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "just don''t go."


    Deng Zhan said: "the queen, do you want to inform me?"


    "No notice."


    Liu Xiu refused directly.


    As soon as he heard that Liu Zhen was ill, he was very nervous, not to mention Huang Yueying.


    Once Huang Yueying knows, she will be even more worried.


    It''s better not to talk about such a situation.


    Liu Xiu said, "Xiao AI, you pay attention to Xia zhen''er''s affairs. If it becomes serious, send it directly to Xiangyang hospital for treatment. "


    "Here it is


    Deng AI Ying is next.


    After Deng AI retired, Liu Xiu''s heart was in a mess.


    Care is chaos.


    He was worried about Liu Zhen''s affairs.


    After a while, he calmed down and began to deal with government affairs.


    In the evening, Deng AI sent back the news that Liu Zhen''s fever had subsided and his body had recovered a lot. If he took some more medicine, he could recover.


    When Liu Xiu got the news, he was also relieved.


    When Liu Zhen recovers, Liu Xiu doesn''t have to worry any more.


    When Xiangyang was calm, Yingchuan County in the north, Yangzhai county.


    At this time, Sun Quan had been delivered, and Xun you and Zhang Liao, escorted by Huang Hu, also arrived.


    When the two sides meet, there is no nonsense. They exchange hostages directly.


    Zhang Liao and Xun you returned to the Wei army, while Sun Quan returned to the Chu army.


    The two sides retreated before war.


    Huang Hu escorts Sun Quan and Zhang yierdao back to the base, and then goes south to Xiangyang with Deng Zhan.


    It was late July when Huang Hu returned to Xiangyang.


    It''s still hot, it''s still hot.


    Staring at the hot weather, they rushed all the way to Xiangyang City.


    The news of Sun Quan''s return was soon sent to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu is waiting in the palace, waiting to meet Sun Quan. In the past, Liu Xiu went to Wu county to get married. He once met Sun Quan and never saw him again.


    Now we meet again, we have already changed our identity.


    Liu Xiu is the king.


    Sun Quan is a prisoner.


    The status of the two sides has long been very different.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of footwork came from outside the hall.


    Huang Hu and Deng Zhan escorted Sun Quan into the main hall.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Sun Quan.

 Chapter 803

    Today, sun''s former style is no longer powerful.


    I''m just in my early 30s, but I''m in a state of vicissitudes, especially the two sideburns of my hair.


    Between the manners, there was no spirit.


    It''s like a dying old man coming.


    Huang Hu hugged his fist and said, "king, Sun Quan has arrived."


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "let''s all go down."


    Today, seeing Sun Quan again has already changed his status and status.


    When Sun Quan and Liu Xiu met for the first time.


    At that time, Sun Quan was the leader of Jiangdong, and Jiangdong was dominant between Jiangdong and Jingzhou.


    Sun Quan looked down on Liu Xiu.


    Today, Sun Quan is still a prisoner.


    Liu Xiu watched the crowd retreat. He heard the door close with a creak. He said, "brother Zhongmou, you and I have met again."


    The tone is very flat.


    But there is also a trace of pride in the insipidity.


    Liu Xiu''s bravery is the only way to be today.


    Sun Quan once calculated Liu Xiu, even wanted to kill him.


    Now it is Liu Xiu who has saved Sun Quan and replaced him.


    Sun Quan looked up at Liu Xiu, his mouth slightly raised, he wiped the messy stubble under his jaw, and said with a smile: "Liu Xiu, now I''m a prisoner, do you feel proud from time to time?"


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s not complacency, it''s emotion."


    Sun QUANDAO: "is there a difference between feeling and satisfaction? You win, so you are proud, so you have the capital of emotion. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "I suddenly found out that brother Zhongmou has such sharp teeth and sharp mouth."


    Sun Quan snorted.


    Liu Xiu said, "brother Zhongmou, if you can bend your hand to Cao Cao, are you willing to serve the king?"


    "No!"


    Sun Quan didn''t even think about it and refused.


    He can surrender to anyone and bend his knees to anyone, but not to Liu Xiu.


    Sun Quan is in conflict with Liu family in Jingzhou, and even more with Liu Xiu.


    He can''t make him bow to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said, "brother Zhongmou, why are you suffering? Today, the state of Wu has been destroyed. Zhang Zhao, Lu Xun, Zhou Yu and Lu Su have been subordinated to the king. They are all submissive. Why do you insist? "


    Hearing this, Sun Quan clenched his fist.


    His eyes were full of anger.


    Zhang Zhao, Lu Xun, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Tai Shici and others were all able ministers under his command.


    But these people have become Liu Xiu''s people.


    It''s hard for Sun Quan to calm down at the thought of this.


    There is a trace of anger in his heart, which is related to the infidelity of Zhang Zhao and Lu Xun.


    The emperor insults his subjects and dies!


    What''s more, he has been defeated, but these people are not loyal to him.


    Sun Quan raised his head and stared at Liu Xiu coldly. He said in a loud voice, "if you want me to be obedient, it''s impossible. Liu Xiu, dream about it. Even if the state of Wu is destroyed, even if there is no one under the command of the king, the king will not yield. "


    In the end, Sun Quan called himself the king.


    In front of Liu Xiu, he didn''t want to lose his final dignity.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes narrowed.


    Sun Quan is so stubborn that he is not affected at all.


    Liu Xiu continued: "Zhongmou, you don''t think about yourself. You don''t want to bend your knees. Don''t you think about Shangxiang? She''s your sister, and she wants you to have a good time. "


    "Don''t mention her to me!"


    Sun Quan was cold and growling in a low voice.


    In the past, when the state of Wu was in the most critical situation, he cut his finger and asked Wu Guotai to write a letter to sun Shangxiang for help.


    However, sun Shangxiang did not respond at all.


    Sun Quan was extremely dissatisfied with the result. He thought sun Shangxiang resented him, so he didn''t help him.


    Sun Quan said, "Liu Xiu, don''t waste your time."


    Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "even if you don''t care about fragrance, you still have Mrs. Wu, your wife and children, and your sister-in-law. Can you give them up? "


    Sun Quan''s expression stagnated when he heard the speech.


    These people mentioned by Liu Xiu are all his concerns.


    Sun Quan took a deep breath and said, "Liu Xiu, you have said so much, but you want me to be obedient."


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu said without hesitation.


    Sun Quan''s disobedience is a potential threat.


    As long as Sun Quan is subordinated, Liu Xiu can publicize with great fanfare, and then inform Zhang Zhao, Lu Xun and others to make everyone feel at ease and keep everyone unaffected.


    Otherwise, Sun Quan is the problem.


    Sun Quan sneered and said, "Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, you are really trying your best."


    Liu Xiu said, "is there anything that can be done with no trouble?"But Sun Quan didn''t answer the question. He said, "even if we don''t surrender, can you do harm to our family?"


    Liu Xiu said without hesitation: "no!"


    In fact, Liu Xiu did have to take care of Sun Quan''s family.


    Because Liu Xiu married sun Shangxiang.


    It was also because Liu Xiu reduced Zhang Zhao, Lu Xun, Zhou Yu and others.


    These people also don''t want to see Sun Quan''s family affected and hope that they can live in peace.


    Liu Xiu said, "Zhongmou, I hope you will consider it carefully."


    "No!"


    Sun Quan refused.


    He really can submit to Liu Xiu and bear humiliation, but he knows that Liu Xiu is cunning and can never give him a chance. And he is not willing to bear humiliation under Liu Xiu''s command, he will not bow to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said, "brother Zhongmou, why are you suffering?"


    "Somebody


    Liu xiuphen said.


    A soldier came in.


    Liu Xiu said, "send Sun Quan back to the sun family, forbid Sun Quan to go out, and do not interfere with the rest."


    "Here it is


    The soldiers were ordered to escort Sun Quan away.


    Then Huang Hu and Deng Zhan entered the hall.


    "Plop!"


    Deng Zhan knelt down directly on the ground, kowtowed to the ground with his head, and said: "king, my minister failed to rescue Sun Quan, which made Xun you and Zhang Liao return to the state of Wei. Please punish him."


    For the failure of the task, Deng Zhan also sighed in his heart.


    He went north to carry out his mission and underestimated the enemy.


    If we make adequate arrangements, one is to set up ambush on the other side''s way, and then consider another way of interception, we will have a chance if we are not sure.


    Unfortunately, he failed.


    If it fails, there is no reason for sophistry.


    Liu Xiu stares at Deng Zhan, his face as deep as water.


    Because of the failure of Deng Zhan''s plan, Liu Xiu was indeed passive. However, although Xun you and Zhang Liao returned to the command of Cao Cao, their influence would not be too great.


    After all, Liu Xiu had countless military officers.


    Now Liu Xiu''s power is not afraid of Cao Cao, even though Cao Cao occupies many states.


    Of course, because of Deng Zhan''s failure, Liu Xiucai took the trouble to talk to Sun Quan, which made Liu Xiu arrange more.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "if the task fails, I will ask for 30 military staff and pay for half a year."


    "Here it is


    Deng Zhan responded respectfully.


    Thirty military staff and half a year''s salary are nothing.


    As long as Liu Xiu still relies on him, that''s enough.


    When Liu Xiu waved, Deng Zhan and Huang Hu left.


    Liu Xiu sat in the main hall, thinking about things. He arranged all things properly and went directly to the back palace. After he came to the harem, he went straight to sun Shangxiang''s palace.


    Sun Shangxiang saw Liu Xiu coming and said happily, "king."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Shang Xiang, brother Zhongmou has been sent back. The king advised him to submit, but he was stubborn and always unwilling to submit. As soon as I appeared, he seemed to be stimulated. You go to Wu''s palace outside the palace, find your mother, persuade her together, and strive for Zhongmou''s obedience. If he doesn''t submit, it''s hard for the king to deal with him, and it''s hard to appease his ministers. "


    After hearing this, sun Shangxiang closed his hands and said, "thank you, king."


    When Sun Quan came back safely, sun Shangxiang was also very excited.


    Sun Shangxiang has always hated Sun Quan.


    But Sun Quan is his second brother after all.


    Liu Xiu said: "you and I are husband and wife, why thank you, go."


    "Thank you, king."


    Sun Shangxiang nodded and left in a hurry.


    After sun Shangxiang left, Liu Xiu also went back to the main hall.


    After sun Shangxiang left the palace, he took a carriage and went straight to Wu''s house. When she arrived, Sun Quan had already come back, but he was locked in the room and did not see any guests at all.


    Sun Shangxiang saw Wu Guotai and said, "mother, what''s the second brother like?"


    Wu Guotai sighed: "Zhongmou doesn''t listen to anything, and no one can be seen. Alas, what can we do?"


    Sun Shangxiang said: "the king told me that the second brother didn''t want to surrender. Now the state of Wu is broken, and it no longer exists. Mother, do you think you can persuade the second brother to stop being stubborn. If it goes on like this, it will not be good for the Wu family. "


    Wu Guotai said: "if you can persuade me, my mother will persuade me, but it doesn''t work. Younger sister, since you''re here, I''ll see your second brother and persuade him. "

 Chapter 804

    Sun Shangxiang said with a bitter smile, "mother, my daughter still wants you to persuade my second brother."


    Wu Guotai said: "mother can do it. She has already done it. Xianger, go and meet your second brother. "


    "Good!"


    Sun Shangxiang nodded.


    There was a touch of joy on Wu Guotai''s face.


    She took sun Shangxiang and went to the courtyard where Sun Quan lived.


    When he came to Sun Quan''s yard, Wu Guotai said, "your second brother is in the room


    Sun Shangxiang nodded, went into the yard and into the room.


    In the room, Sun Quan sat down, not a trace of life, but a deep twilight.


    There is no more sorrow than death.


    Today''s Sun Quan has no other thoughts.


    The state of Wu is broken!


    The foundation of the three generations of the sun family was destroyed.


    Under such circumstances, Sun Quan has no chance at all.


    In particular, Sun Quan knew that Liu Xiu would not give him a chance.


    Sun Quan also heard the footsteps and looked up at sun Shangxiang. Then he lowered his head and curled up with his legs in his hands.


    Sun Shangxiang looked at such vicissitudes of Sun Quan, the heart is also inexplicable pain.


    This is her second brother.


    This is the pillar of the sun family!


    Sun Shangxiang said: "second brother, you are so decadent, worthy of your mother? Are you worthy of your father and elder brother? "


    Sun Quan did not speak.


    Yes, I''m sorry. What can I do now?


    At this point, it''s meaningless to talk about it.


    Sun Shangxiang saw that Sun Quan didn''t respond, and his face was angry. He said, "second brother, are you such a big man? What should we do? Everybody''s counting on you. You shouldn''t be like this. "


    Sun Quan laughed.


    His voice was as hoarse as phlegm in his throat.


    Looking up at sun Shangxiang, Sun Quan said, "what do you expect from me? Is there a difference between having me and not having me? "


    Sun Shangxiang said, "when you are here, the pillar of your family is there."


    Sun Quan shook his head.


    It doesn''t matter whether he''s here or not.


    When he''s here, the sun family will be in control.


    He is no longer in charge, and the sun family will be controlled.


    There is no difference.


    Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "you go. I don''t see anyone."


    Seeing Sun Quan''s manner, sun Shangxiang immediately became angry and said, "second brother, you are willing to surrender to Cao Cao. Why do you not want to surrender to your husband when you come to Chu? So far, what else do you want to stick to? "


    Originally, sun Shangxiang suppressed his anger.


    However, Sun Quan''s attitude made sun Shangxiang angry.


    In exchange for Sun Quan, Liu Xiu handed over Xun you and Zhang Liao.


    In exchange for a Sun Quan, there is no benefit.


    Xunyou and zhangliao were important officials under the command of Cao Cao, and now they have returned to the command of Cao Cao.


    But Sun Quan is still dead.


    Sun Shangxiang roared: "second brother, even if you don''t like the king, you should think about it for the sun family. Who do you deserve? "


    Sun Quan stood up and patted the dust on his ass.


    Shaking his robe, Sun Quan stared at sun Shangxiang and said, "don''t bother the princess. I have my own consideration."


    "The state of Wu is destroyed, but I am still the king of Wu."


    "Ministers of the state of Wu can surrender, but the king of the state of Wu will not."


    "I, Sun Quan, will never surrender to Liu Xiu."


    "I will never bend my knees to a man who has great hatred for the sun family."


    Sun Quan held his head high and spoke loudly.


    The words completely put an end to sun Shangxiang''s persuasion, so that sun Shangxiang can no longer persuade Sun Quan.


    After hearing this, sun Shangxiang was so angry that his eyes were moist: "do you really want this?"


    Sun Quan felt soft when he saw sun Shangxiang''s expression. But in an instant, he held his head up and said in a deep voice, "I can''t surrender to Liu Xiu."


    It is impossible for him to bend his knees to Liu Xiu.


    When sun Shangxiang heard Sun Quan''s words, she turned and left without any fluke.


    "You''re hopeless."


    When he walked out of the room, sun Shangxiang said angrily.


    Hearing sun Shangxiang''s words, Sun Quan sat down again and said, "it''s hopeless? Ha ha, I''ve been hopeless for a long time. I''ve been boring for a long time. Wu is no longer, what''s the point of my life? Should we bear the humiliation of Liu Xiu every day? A joke. "


    Sun Quan murmured, his eyes full of blood.


    Sun Shangxiang went out of the room and saw Wu Guotai waiting outside the yard.


    Wu Guotai said, "how about Xiang''er?"


    Sun Shangxiang shook his head and said, "there''s no way. He doesn''t want to surrender to the king."


    "Alas..."


    After hearing this, Mrs. Wu was very embarrassed.Although Wu Guotai was a woman, she knew that if Sun Quan did not surrender, she would easily offend Liu Xiu.


    Once Liu Xiu gets angry, Sun Quan may be involved.


    Wu Guotai looked at sun Shangxiang, her eyes showed a look of longing, she suddenly knelt directly on the ground.


    This scene startled sun Shangxiang.


    Wu Guofu said, "what are you doing in a hurry


    Wu Guotai insisted on not getting up and said, "xianger, please do me a favor."


    Sun Shangxiang said, "get up and talk."


    Wu Guotai said, "if you don''t agree, I won''t get up."


    Sun Shangxiang said, "I promise, I promise you, isn''t it OK?"


    At this moment, sun Shangxiang is also extremely embarrassed.


    Wu Guotai heard sun Shangxiang''s words, and her haggard face just showed a smile. She stood up and said, "your second brother doesn''t want to be submissive. In the end, he may be angry with the king of Chu. You are the concubine of the king of Chu. You blow the pillow to persuade the king of Chu not to pursue your second brother''s guilt. "


    Sun Shangxiang said, "I will try my best."


    Wu Guotai nodded.


    Hearing sun Shangxiang''s promise, Wu Guotai was also relieved.


    Wu Kuo Tai sighed and continued: "now at home, it''s your second brother. Shao''er is too young to support her family. And your second brother''s child is even smaller. Your second brother, you can''t miss anything. "


    Sun Shangxiang comforted: "mother rest assured, daughter will try her best."


    At this time, sun Shangxiang''s heart is also in a mess.


    When he met something at home, his heart was hard to calm down, and he didn''t know how to explain to Liu Xiu when he went back.


    Sun Shangxiang and Wu Guotai talked for a while, but they didn''t stay for dinner, so they left in a hurry.


    When she stayed at home, she felt blocked up.


    After returning to the palace, sun Shangxiang went straight to Liu Xiu''s study. When he met Liu Xiu, he looked embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, I''ve let you down. I can''t persuade my second brother."


    Facing Liu Xiu, sun Shangxiang was also a little nervous.


    After all, Sun Quan never surrendered.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "don''t worry about this. I''ll arrange it. Now Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others are all in Xiangyang, and they have developed in their respective positions. If they can persuade them, Sun Quan will change his mind. "


    "Well!"


    Sun Shangxiang also relaxed after listening.


    At least, Liu Xiu didn''t mean to kill Sun Quan.


    Liu Xiu said, "go down and have a rest. I''ll call someone to discuss this matter and make sure of Sun Quan as soon as possible."


    "Here it is


    Sun Shangxiang stood up and left.


    After sun Shangxiang left, Liu Xiu told people to call Pang Tong.


    With a smile on his face, Pang Tong saluted and said, "king."


    Today''s Pang Tong, although his appearance is still unique, has an extraordinary bearing.


    In front of Liu Xiu, Pang Tong was quite casual.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "sit down!"


    "Thank you, king."


    Pang Tong sat down directly in the room.

 Chapter 805

    Liu Xiu said, "Shiyuan, what do you think about Sun Quan?"


    Pang Tong said: "Your Majesty, I was against rescuing Sun Quan. Now that they are back, what can you do? "


    For this matter, Pang Tong still has some complaints.


    Liu xiudao: "Sun Quan had to be saved. There is no room for negotiation."


    "Otherwise, there will be a knot in Zhou Yu''s heart."


    "Even the people of the state of Wu, and the people who used to work for Sun Quan, will have ideas."


    "Now that he has been rescued, Sun Quan is not willing to surrender."


    "It has to be solved."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes flashed a fierce color.


    Now Sun Quan is in Liu Xiu''s hands. If Liu Xiu wants Sun Quan to die, there are countless ways.


    But what Liu Xiu wanted to do was to make Sun Quan surrender.


    As long as Sun Quan surrenders, those who still have ideas about Sun Quan will die.


    This is the safest way to cook frogs in warm water.


    Pang Tong looked at Liu Xiu and said, "is your majesty willing to hand over this matter to my minister?"


    "As long as we can handle it well," Liu said


    Pang Tong said, "life and death do not matter."


    Liu Xiu heard Pang Tong''s words, but he laughed and said, "Shiyuan, you should know that Sun Quan can''t die casually."


    Pang Tong raised his chin slightly and said, "king, I won''t leave any handle or any chance to criticize you."


    Liu xiudao: "you handle affairs, I rest assured."


    Pang Tong bowed to him and dismissed him.


    Liu Xiu looked at Pang Tong''s back and sighed.


    Sun Quan did not surrender.


    At this point, Liu Xiu can no longer be blamed.


    After Pang Tong left the palace, he went straight to Zhang Zhao''s residence.


    Pang Tong, one of Liu Xiu''s two major military strategists, has a special status and an extremely important status.


    When Pang Tong visited, Zhang Zhao couldn''t take Pang Tong lightly and invited him to the hall.


    Take your seat.


    Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and said with a smile, "what''s the matter with Pang Junshi''s visit?"


    Nowadays, Zhang Zhao has been used to the government affairs of Chu.


    Originally, he was the leader of Wu''s government affairs, but now he is also handy in Chu.


    Pang Tong said with a smile, "this time I''m here, I''m here to ask for Zhang Gong''s help."


    Zhang Zhao said: "Pang Junshi, please say that as long as I can, I will never refuse."


    "Well, Mr. Zhang is straightforward."


    Pang Tong laughed and said, "in fact, it''s very simple. Just now the king called me to the palace and said about Sun Quan. "


    "The king invited Mrs. Shang Xiang to persuade him, but Sun Quan still didn''t want to surrender."


    "If Sun Quan is not submissive, things will be difficult."


    "So the king found me and asked me to deal with it."


    "If Sun Quan doesn''t surrender, I have no choice but to think of Zhang Gong. After all, you are a former subordinate of Sun Quan. You are familiar with Sun Quan and know his temperament


    Pang Tong said with a smile: "therefore, I hope Mr. Zhang will go to persuade Sun Quan to surrender to the king."


    After hearing this, Zhang Zhao''s face suddenly froze.


    The expression on his face was a little embarrassed.


    As a person who has been subordinated to Liu Xiu, Zhang Zhao betrayed the state of Wu and Sun Quan.


    Now let him see Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao is actually not willing to.


    After all, it''s embarrassing to meet.


    Zhang Zhao stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "Pang Jun Shi, I''m afraid it''s not appropriate for me to be old."


    Pang Tong''s eyes narrowed and said, "Duke Zhang, it''s just the so-called subject''s worry and subject''s disgrace. If the king is worried about this, we should share his worries. "


    "I don''t ask you anything. I just want you to persuade Sun Quan."


    "Is it hard?"


    "It''s just a matter of saying a few words. It''s not difficult."


    "Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"


    Pang Tong''s eyes narrowed in the end.


    Even though Zhang Zhao has entered the rank of administrative decision-making officials, Pang Tong is not afraid of Zhang Zhao.


    Especially, he took Liu Xiu''s orders.


    Persuading Sun Quan was Liu Xiu''s order.


    In fact, Pang Tong had the king''s life in his hands.


    Pang Tong looked at Zhang Zhao and said, "since Zhang Gong has been subordinated to the king, he will make a clean break with the past. Now Mr. Zhang is not willing to share his worries with the king. What else do you think? "


    When Zhang Zhao heard this, he felt a thump in his heart.


    Pang Tong''s words are serious.


    Once known by Liu Xiu, it is extremely unfavorable to him.


    Zhang Zhao said with a smile, "Pang Junshi doesn''t have to say any more. I''ll just go."


    Although it was embarrassing to see Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao had to go.


    He can''t offend Pang Tong.


    Pang Tong smiles and says, "I remember Zhang Gong and Gao Yi. If Sun Quan''s persuasion is successful, Zhang Gong will take the lead. Mr. Zhang, I won''t disturb you. I''m waiting for your good news. "Zhang Zhao said: "it''s rare for Pang Junshi to come to my house. I don''t want to have a drink in my house."


    Pang Tong said, "when Sun Quan is persuaded to surrender, it''s not too late to drink."


    Zhang Zhao got up and said, "I''ll see off commander Pang."


    Immediately, Zhang Zhao sent Pang Tong away.


    Back in the study, the expression on Zhang Zhao''s face became serious. He thought about Pang Tong''s intention.


    Pang Tong asked him to persuade Sun Quan to surrender, which should have three meanings.


    The first is to test Zhang Zhao''s ideas.


    Second, let Zhang Zhao persuade Sun Quan to surrender.


    Third, let Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan make a clean break.


    Just imagine that after Zhang Zhao betrayed Sun Quan, he now persuades Sun Quan to surrender for Liu Xiu''s sake. This is tantamount to throwing salt on Sun Quan''s wound and stabbing Sun Quan once again. When Sun Quan meets Zhang Zhao, can he still believe Zhang Zhao? Can you expect Zhang Zhao again?


    Zhang Zhao sighed: "Pang Tong, Pang Tong, is really resourceful."


    Even if he wants to understand, he can''t refuse.


    Zhang Zhao changed his clothes.


    At this time, what he put on was just an ordinary dress.


    After leaving the mansion, Zhang Zhao went to the mansion where Sun Quan lived.


    This news soon spread to Pang Tong''s ears. Pang Tong just laughed at it. His plan to deal with Sun Quan has just begun.


    Zhang Zhao was the first civil servant of Wu state.


    Zhang Zhao betrayed Sun Quan.


    Can Zhang Zhao succeed in persuading Sun Quan now?


    Pang Tong didn''t think it would succeed.


    This is exactly Pang Tong''s arrangement.


    In everyone''s eyes, Pang Tong''s every move and all his plans were to persuade Sun Quan to surrender. But in fact, what Pang Tong really wanted was Sun Quan''s life.


    Zhang Zhao came outside Wu''s house.


    The carriage stopped and Zhang Zhao got out.


    Standing outside the gate, Zhang Zhao''s face was hesitant.


    Rao Shi is used to seeing the wind and rain, and has long been in front of Mount Tai, but he can''t help hesitating at the thought of facing Sun Quan.


    Hesitation comes to hesitation, and things have to be done.


    It is impossible for Zhang Zhao to give up halfway.


    As soon as he waved his hand, a valet came out and led Zhang Zhao into the hall.


    Instead of meeting Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao met Wu Guotai.


    Wu Guotai said, "Mr. Zhang!"


    Today''s Wu Guotai is just an old lady with no wealth or power. She dare not hold her airs in front of Zhang Zhao.


    But Zhang Zhao was extremely respectful and said, "I''ve met the old lady."


    Wu Guotai said, "what''s the matter with Mr. Zhang?"


    Zhang Zhao was silent for a moment and said, "I want to see him."


    He is Sun Quan.


    Wu Guotai said, "follow me."


    Wu Guotai did not refuse Zhang Zhao''s request. Before that, she once got rid of sun Shangxiang and expected that Zhang Zhao''s arrival was to persuade Sun Quan.

 Chapter 806

    Zhang Zhao came to the yard.


    Sun Quan''s door was still closed.


    Wu Guotai said: "Zhongmou''s door is not closed. He just doesn''t want to see the guests."


    Zhang Zhao said, "don''t worry, old lady. I will persuade him."


    "Please


    Wu Guotai waved to Zhang Zhao to enter.


    Zhang Zhao nodded and walked to the door.


    When he really stood at the door, there was still a little hesitation in Zhang Zhao''s heart, but in a flash, Zhang Zhao recovered his calm and reached out to knock on the door.


    There was no echo in the room.


    Sun Quan didn''t answer.


    Zhang Zhao said: "King Wu, old Zhang Zhao."


    At the moment, Zhang Zhao is still the king of Wu to avoid stimulating Sun Quan.


    However, Sun Quan did not answer.


    Zhang Zhao opens the door and enters.


    Entering the room, Zhang Zhao saw Sun Quan lying down at will.


    Sun Quan was not only haggard and depressed, but also drunk.


    He drank a lot of wine.


    When Zhang Zhao came in, Sun Quan just looked up, then lowered his head and stopped looking at Zhang Zhao.


    Zhang Zhao lifts his robe and sits down.


    "The king looked at him


    The two words of King Wu made Sun Quan''s heart tremble.


    King Wu!


    Is he still King Wu?


    These two words into his ears, he is a great irony.


    Sun Quan looked up at Zhang Zhao and said coldly, "Zhang Zibu, I heard that. It was you, Zhang Zibu, who persuaded King Wu''s house to surrender that day. The king thinks highly of you and shows his kindness to you, but in the end, you betrayed the king. "


    Zhang Zhao looked solemn and said, "the state of Wu has reached the point where there is no way to defend. How can the king of Wu let the old man resist?"


    "To commit suicide?"


    "Do you want me to die for Wu?"


    "The old man is dead. How can the people of Zhang Jia get along with themselves?"


    "I''m old and rotten. How to face the ancestors of Zhangjia."


    Zhang Zhao''s words became sharp.


    In the face of Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao had no so-called comfort or persuasion.


    He is to persuade Sun Quan, but not gentle persuasion, but directly with the most realistic words, let Sun Quan sober up.


    It''s not so nice to hear good advice.


    Zhang Zhao went on to say: "the so-called position, seek its politics. When I worked for the king, I tried my best and didn''t dare to be slighted. "


    "In the period of sun CE, Lao Jiu served Wu."


    "Only recently, it has been nearly 20 years."


    "In twenty years, I have never slacked off for a day. I have always been conscientious."


    "I, the Zhang clan, also made every effort to support the foundation of Wu."


    "The king of Wu felt his heart and said a word of conscience. Did I, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Jia, betray the state of Wu?"


    Zhang Zhao said: "the ministers do not have to die for the festival."


    "Loyal officials have their own considerations."


    "If the king of Wu thinks that Zhang Zhao betrayed the state of Wu, Zhang Zhao has nothing to say."


    "But in recent years, I have been entrusted by others."


    "The king of Wu used to be the king of Wu, and today he is also the king of Wu in my heart."


    "The state of Wu has become a thing of the past, and the king of Wu is just the king of Wu in the old heart. If the king of Wu still lives in his past life, it is unrealistic. "


    "Please cheer up for yourself and for the people of the sun family."


    Zhang Zhao said: "it''s no shame to submit to the king of Chu. When the state of Chu is established, the king of Wu may also have a title."


    "Ha ha ha..."


    When Sun Quan heard the last title, he suddenly laughed.


    Does he care about Liu Xiu''s title?


    What a joke.


    Sun Quan big sleeve a brush, holding his head up, coldly way: "Zhang Zibu, you can go."


    Seeing Sun Quan''s manner, Zhang Zhao said, "King Wu, please consider it carefully."


    Sun Quan said, "don''t think about it. I won''t surrender. If Liu Xiu wants to kill him, he will kill Wang. Otherwise, I would rather die than surrender. "


    Zhang Zhao shook his head, turned and walked out.


    Sun Quan stares at Zhang Zhao''s back and suddenly roars: "treason, treason!"


    Obviously, Sun Quan didn''t listen to Zhang Zhao.


    In Sun Quan''s view, Zhang Zhao betrayed him, and Zhang Zhao was rebellious.


    Zhang Zhao heard Sun Quan''s words, his heart also cold down, his big sleeve a brush, straight out of the room.


    When he came to the courtyard, Zhang Zhao met Wu Guotai and said, "madam, I can''t help you. Please forgive me."


    After hearing this, Mrs. Wu looked disappointed.


    I thought the relationship between Zhang Zhao and the sun family was unusual.


    Zhang Zhao to persuade, Sun Quan may have figured out, no longer stay in the room every day.I didn''t expect to fail.


    Wu Guotai said, "I''ll send Mr. Zhang."


    Zhang Zhao said: "I don''t dare to trouble the old lady. I''d like to ask her to persuade him not to go astray."


    "Yes, yes!"


    Wu Guotai should go down, but her heart is cold.


    Zhang Zhao left Wu''s house and went to Pang Tong''s office.


    Zhang Zhao sighed and said, "Pang Junshi, old and ashamed, failed to persuade Sun Quan. This persuasion failed me. "


    Zhang Zhao is also a pity for the mission''s failure.


    Liu Xiu hoped that Sun Quan would be obedient. If he could persuade Sun Quan, it would be a great achievement.


    Pang Tong laughed and said, "Mr. Zhang doesn''t have to blame himself. Everyone knows that Sun Quan is stubborn. Zhang Gong''s failure does not affect his success. The next step is to find someone else. "


    Zhang Zhao said: "Pang Jun division wants to find someone, but I know a candidate."


    Pang Tong said, "I''d like to hear it in detail."


    Zhang Zhao said directly: "Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin, he is the most suitable person."


    Pang Tong laughed and said, "the one who knows me is Zhang Gong. Just as the so-called heroes think alike, our military division also wants to go to Zhou Gongjin for help. For one thing, Zhou Yu has a special relationship with the sun family, so he can''t stand by Sun Quan. For another thing, Zhou Yu''s talent is outstanding, and he has also been subordinated to the public, so it''s appropriate for him to go. "


    Zhang Zhao said: "since Pang Junshi has something to do, he will not delay. Goodbye."


    Pang Tong said with a smile, "I''ve worked hard for Mr. Zhang. I''ll invite Mr. Zhang to have a drink when I''m finished."


    With these words, Pang Tong sent Zhang Zhao away.


    Seeing Zhang Zhao leave, Pang Tong has a brilliant smile in his eyes.


    Zhang Zhao failed.


    This means that his first step was a success.


    Taking advantage of Zhang Zhao''s failure is a good time to visit Zhou Yu.


    Pang Tong took a carriage and headed for Zhou Yu''s residence.


    It took half an hour for the carriage to come to Zhou Yu''s residence. Today, Zhou Yu is a subordinate to Liu Xiu. He is also an important official. His residence is quite grand.


    Came to the door, Pang Tong let people on the ground.


    After a while, Zhou Yu came to the door to meet him.


    Zhou Yu arched his hand and said, "I don''t know that commander Pang is here. I''m sorry to meet you. Please forgive me."


    Since Liu Xiu has been subordinated to Zhou Yu, he will not hold up airs.


    Especially in front of Pang Tong.


    Pang Tong laughed and said, "brother Gongjin, you''re welcome. This time I''m here, I''m asking for help from brother Gongjin."


    "Oh, what''s the matter?"


    Zhou Yu asked and said, "Pang Jun, please come inside. Let''s sit down and talk."


    "Please


    Pang Tong entered the mansion and sat down with Zhou Yu in the hall.

 Chapter 807

    Zhou Yu has outstanding intelligence and pays attention to everything in Xiangyang City.


    Pang Tong went to Zhang Zhao''s house, and then Zhang Zhao went to see Sun Quan. Zhou Yu also knew about it.


    Zhou Yu was not very willing to persuade Sun Quan.


    One is that it is difficult to face Sun Quan.


    Second, he didn''t want to face Sun Quan.


    Zhou Yu said, "Pang Junshi, if you want me to persuade Sun Quan, forget it. I''m not fit. "


    Pang Tong was a little surprised.


    Zhou Yu refused directly.


    You know, it''s a matter of Sun Quan''s life.


    Immediately, Pang Tong recovered.


    Pang Tong looked solemn and said, "brother Gongjin, do you know the consequences of Sun Quan''s failure to surrender?"


    Zhou Yu said: "no matter how Sun Quan does not surrender, the king of Chu will not kill Sun Quan. At most, he is under house arrest."


    Pang Tong said: "Sun Quan is determined not to surrender, although the king will not kill Sun Quan openly. However, with the wisdom and decisiveness of the king, there will always be hidden dangers. "


    "Even if you don''t kill Sun Quan, I''m afraid the other wings of the sun family will be affected."


    "Brother Gongjin, you are sun CE''s sworn brother. You are half of the sun family."


    "Only you go to persuade, is the most appropriate."


    "Only you, as a brother, can have full power over Sun Quan and make Sun Quan change his mind."


    Pang Tong said: "Sun Quan is just the last way to surrender. Then he meets the king in the hall and asks to surrender in front of all the civil and military officials. It''s a very simple matter. What''s the hesitation? "


    "Is it simple?" Zhou Yu asked


    Pang Tong said: "simple!"


    But Zhou Yu shook his head.


    As a governor of the state of Wu and a man who watched Sun Quan grow up, he understood Sun Quan''s temperament.


    It is absolutely impossible for Sun Quan to kneel down to Liu Xiu in front of all the civil and military officials of Chu state, especially those of Wu state.


    It doesn''t help him to persuade.


    Zhou Yu said, "Pang Junshi, I can''t agree to your request."


    Even though Pang Tong''s words are too much.


    However, Zhou Yu is still standing still.


    I''ve made up my mind not to go.


    Zhou Yu used to be the governor of the state of Wu. He didn''t want to submit to Liu Xiu.


    The reason why he was submissive was for Little Joe.


    Little Joe convinced his heart.


    Now, Zhou Yu can''t persuade Sun Quan.


    Pang Tong also frowned after listening. In Pang Tong''s idea, it should be the simplest thing for Zhou Yu to persuade Sun Quan, but it was the most difficult thing.


    He went to great lengths, but Zhou Yu didn''t agree.


    Pang Tong is also thinking quickly.


    He had to convince Zhou Yu.


    Then, the plan can go on.


    As a military adviser of the Chu state and the most valued person of Liu Xiu, Pang Tong was outstanding in mental calculation. He knew the hatred between Sun Quan and the state of Chu, and that Sun Quan was not willing to surrender.


    However, Pang Tong just wanted these people to persuade him.


    In Pang Tong''s mind, there was a flash of inspiration.


    Pang Tong said: "brother Gongjin, I''d like to ask you to persuade me. It''s my position. Besides, I am also entrusted by others. "


    "Who, king?"


    Zhou Yu asked.


    Without waiting for Pang Tong to explain, Zhou Yu said directly, "Pang Junshi, the king will not force me. Therefore, Pang Junshi does not need to persuade any more. "


    Pang Tong shook his head and said, "it''s not entrusted by the king."


    "Madame Shangxiang?"


    Zhou Yu asked again.


    For sun Shangxiang, Zhou Yu also felt guilty.


    In the past, when sun CE was there, he doted on sun Shangxiang in every way and regarded him as the apple of his eye.


    After sun CE passed away, Sun Quan ruled.


    Sun Shangxiang was used as a bargaining chip by Sun Quan to marry Chu.


    Zhou Yu also felt guilty about this.


    If sun Shangxiang asked, Zhou Yu didn''t know how to refuse.


    Pang Tong shook his head and said, "brother Gongjin, Miao Yi, is not entrusted by Lady Shangxiang."


    Zhou Yu said, "who is it?"


    At this time, Zhou Yu also had some doubts. He didn''t know who asked Pang Tong.


    Pang Tong said, "it''s old lady Wu."


    On hearing this, Zhou Yu''s expression froze and his face was uncomfortable.


    Wu Guotai''s weight in Zhou Yu''s heart is very unusual, which is equivalent to the general existence of mother. Zhou Yu and sun CE became brothers. Sun CE''s mother was Zhou Yu''s mother.


    Now Pang Tong moved out of Wu Guotai, and Zhou Yu couldn''t refuse.


    When Pang Tong noticed Zhou Yu''s look, he was also pleased.


    Zhou Yu has always been a man of eight winds.


    Now, finally, there are people who care.Pang Tong said in a deep voice: "the old lady of the state of Wu sent people to say that Sun Quan is depressed and even fasts. In the long run, Sun Quan won''t last long. Now it''s brother Gongjin who can be persuaded. So please go to Gongjin. "


    After hearing this, Zhou Yu''s face was completely unstable and gave a long sigh.


    It is difficult for Wu Guotai to refuse.


    Zhou Yu looked at Pang Tong and said, "Pang Junshi, if you win, I will go to persuade Sun Quan."


    Pang Tong said, "thank you, brother Gongjin."


    Zhou Yu said, "I''ll pack up and go. I won''t detain Mr. Pang."


    "I have something else to do. Goodbye."


    Pang Tong did not stay, so he left easily.


    Pang Tong''s heart was also full of joy when it was finished.


    Now, when Zhou Yu persuades Sun Quan, he doesn''t know whether he can succeed. No matter whether Zhou Yu''s persuasion was successful or not, Pang Tong had corresponding arrangements and plans to cope with the subsequent arrangements.


    After changing his clothes, Zhou Yu came to Xiao Qiao''s yard in the backyard.


    Zhou Yu said, "madam, take me to visit old lady Wu."


    "Good!"


    Little Joe answered and changed his clothes.


    They left Zhoufu together and went there by carriage.


    As soon as the carriage arrived, they got out of the carriage and went straight to the mansion. Then they met Wu Guotai in the hall. Xiao Qiao accompanied Wu Guotai to exchange greetings, while Zhou Yu went straight to the courtyard where Sun Quan lived.


    Coming to the courtyard, Zhou Yu entered the house.


    At this time, Sun Quan was drinking.


    But the look on Sun Quan''s face was extremely haggard and decadent.


    Sun Quan looked up and saw Zhou Yu. He laughed and said, "Gongjin is here. Gongjin is powerful now. It''s under Liu Xiu''s command. But I''m already a prisoner, a prisoner. "


    His words, like a sharp knife, pierced into Zhou Yu''s heart.


    Zhou Yu didn''t want to see Sun Quan because he felt that he had failed Sun Quan.


    Now, I have to see it.


    Zhou Yu said in a deep voice, "Zhongmou, why do you practice yourself like this?"


    Sun Quan took up his glass and drank it. He raised his head and said in a free voice, "did I practice myself? Ha, what a joke. I''ll do whatever I want. "


    Zhou Yu looked at the decadent and unruly Sun Quan, his heart is not happy.


    Sun Quan is not someone he knows.


    Zhou Yu rushed up, grabbed the bottle and threw it away, then knocked the bottle over on the ground.


    "You are the pillar of the sun family. You shouldn''t be like this."


    "Can''t you just be a man?"


    Zhou Yu asked aloud.


    In Zhou Yu''s eyes, there was a blaze of anger. Seeing Sun Quan''s decadent appearance, he couldn''t help but want to get angry.

 Chapter 808

    When Sun Quan heard Zhou Yu''s question, he laughed.


    Laughter, full of irony.


    As the pillar of the sun family and the man of the sun family, he doesn''t look like a man.


    For the sake of sun''s foundation, he let Sun Shao inherit the throne and go to the state of Wei alone as a hostage, just to let the state of Wei lend a helping hand and save the state of Wu.


    As a man who has been in power for more than ten years, it is very difficult to give up power suddenly.


    It''s very painful to go to the enemy country as a hostage.


    All this is not enough for external humanity.


    He suffered all the pain, but Zhou Yu came to accuse him.


    In this case, Sun Quan would not accept it.


    Sun Quan smashed his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Gongjin, you are not qualified to say that about me. You have no right to interfere in what the king should do and what he wants to do. "


    On hearing this, Zhou Yu was furious.


    "You are hopeless."


    Zhou Yu rushed up, grabbed Sun Quan by the collar and pulled him up.


    Staring at Sun Quan angrily, Zhou Yu said, "you''d rather die than surrender. You''ve got guts, but have you ever considered the rest of the sun family? You just want to be comfortable. You never think about them


    Sun Quan said: "without me, don''t they have a good life? Without me, Liu Xiu would not be suspicious of them or you. Isn''t that good? "


    "First the younger sister came to persuade, then Zhang Zhao, now it''s you."


    "What you do is you want me to surrender to Liu Xiu, and you don''t have to be scared?"


    "Your mind is like a mirror."


    "Only when the king surrendered, the state of Wu was really destroyed."


    "The kingdom of Wu is still here, at least in my heart."


    "You are a group of soft bones. Why do you call me king?"


    Sun Quan looked directly at Zhou Yu with contempt in his eyes.


    In Sun Quan''s eyes, all the people who come to persuade him are soft bones and selfish.


    These people are the enemies of Sun Quan.


    Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, in particular, are his right-hand men.


    Today, both Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu are subordinated to Liu Xiu.


    It''s ironic that two people came to persuade Sun Quan to surrender.


    Seeing the look in Sun Quan''s eyes, Zhou Yu sighed and released his hand. He stepped back two steps, looked at Sun Quan and said, "I''m really ashamed to be with you because I''ve obeyed Liu Xiu."


    Sun Quan got the upper hand and said, "do you know?"


    Sun Quan is happy at the moment.


    When Zhou Yu came to persuade him, Sun Quan was deeply humiliated.


    Today, Zhou Yu takes the initiative to admit that Sun Quan is very happy.


    Zhou Yu did not explain why he surrendered. He said, "Zhongmou, you should do it yourself."


    Hearing this, Sun Quan sneered: "Gongjin, you betrayed me today. One day, maybe he will betray Liu Xiu. Do you think Liu Xiu will really trust you? That''s very kind of you. "


    Zhou Yu said, "don''t worry about it."


    Sun Quan laughed and said, "go away, go away, don''t let me see you again."


    He turned and left.


    This time, Zhou Yu''s persuasion failed.


    Zhou Yu came out of the room. As soon as he came out, he saw a wine bottle flying out and crashing against the door. Knowing that Sun Quan was venting his discontent, Zhou Yu stopped for a moment and left without looking back.


    When he comes to the front hall to wait, the servant tells Xiao Qiao and Wu Guotai the news.


    Soon, they came out.


    Wu Guotai looked forward and said, "Gongjin, what''s the result?"


    Zhou Yu sighed: "let the old lady down."


    "Alas..."


    When Wu Guotai heard the speech, she looked very anxious.


    Here comes Zhang Zhao, failure!


    Zhou Yu''s coming is also a failure!


    Such a result really worries Wu Guotai.


    Although there were thousands of words in Zhou Yu''s heart, he didn''t know how to tell Wu Guotai at this time, so he had to say, "old lady, Zhong Mou just can''t figure it out for the moment. Give him a little time and he''ll figure it out. "


    "I hope so," said Wu


    Wu Guotai didn''t understand Sun Quan''s idea and couldn''t guess it.


    Zhou Yu said: "old lady, I have something to deal with, so I won''t stay. Goodbye. "


    "I''ll see you off."


    Wu Guotai didn''t stay, so she sent Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao away.


    Back in the backyard, I came to Sun Quan''s yard.


    Wu Guotai went into the room and looked at Sun Quan, who picked up the bottle and bottle and continued to drink. She said, "Zhongmou, when are you going to have a hangover?"


    She looked at Sun Quan and hated the iron.


    Wu Guotai was disappointed by the current situation.


    When the sun family arrived at this stage, it was time to need Sun Quan, but Sun Quan gave up on himself.Sun Quan looked up at Wu Guotai and said, "mother, it''s enough to have a little sister in Chu. As for me, it doesn''t matter whether I have it or not. "


    On hearing this, Mrs. Wu choked.


    Sun Quan''s words are full of thorns.


    Even if Wu Guotai listened, his anger could not help rising.


    Wu Guotai said: "Zhongmou, you let my mother down. You are not like this. Even in the face of difficulties, you will not abandon yourself like this. "


    Sun Quan laughed and said, "what else can my son do in front of Liu Xiu?"


    Wu Guotai is dumb.


    In Xiangyang, the state of Chu, Sun Quan was a prisoner and had nothing to do.


    Sun Quan said: "mother, please go back and let me be alone. I just want to be alone."


    Wu Guotai looked at Sun Quan''s slovenly and decadent appearance, tears came from it, turned around and left.


    Sun Quan looked at Wu Guotai''s back and felt a pain in his heart, but he couldn''t do anything. It is absolutely impossible for him to surrender to Liu Xiu.


    After Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao returned to the mansion, Zhou Yu did not go to Pang Tong, but directly sent someone to inform Pang Tong of the failure.


    Pang Tong was overjoyed at the news.


    It''s done.


    Zhang Zhao failed to persuade.


    Zhou Yu failed in persuasion.


    This means that it is difficult for others to persuade them to succeed.


    His plan is a step closer.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a servant came to the room.


    Pang Tong asked, "what''s the matter?"


    "The king summoned you to enter the palace," he said


    "I see."


    Pang Tong waved the servant back, turned around, changed his clothes, and then went to the palace.


    Entering the palace, Pang Tong met Liu Xiu in the side hall: "minister Pang Tong, meet the king."


    Liu xiudao: "sit down!"


    Pang Tong sat down and said, "what can I do for you


    Liu Xiu didn''t beat around the Bush and said straight to the point: "I got the news that you invited Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu to persuade Sun Quan, but they all failed."


    "Yes


    Pang Tong nodded his head.


    Pang Tong was not surprised that Liu Xiu knew about it.


    Liu Xiu said: "Shi Yuan, can you handle Sun Quan''s affairs well? If you need help. "


    Pang Tong even said: "king, I can handle it well."


    Pang Tong had the whole plan in mind.


    Every step of the plan is going on. Pang Tong doesn''t need Liu Xiu''s help at all.


    Liu Xiu said: "but now you even hit the wall, a trace of the exhibition are not, really can complete?"


    Pang Tong said confidently: "I will tell you that my plan is long and will take some time. Please be patient and give me more time. "


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    Liu Xiu did not interfere too much in Pang Tong''s subsequent arrangements.


    After asking, Liu Xiu asked Pang Tong to leave.


    Pang Tong was still in operation, but Liu Xiu was quite idle.


    It has to be said that with Kuai Liang, Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and others dealing with government affairs, Liu Xiu''s workload has been greatly reduced.


    This kind of action is similar to the cabinet of Ming Dynasty.


    With the existence of the cabinet, even if the emperor is absurd, the government affairs will not be greatly affected.

 Chapter 809

    On this day, Huang Hu came to the palace.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Hu and said, "tiger, why did you come to the palace if you didn''t stay in the barracks for training?"


    Huang Hu said: "Your Majesty, today is a military training camp, and the recruits will show it. Why don''t you go with me to see the situation of my son. "


    Liu Xiu said, "how is zhen''er


    Huang Hu said: "after the king saw it, he naturally knew."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "well, I''ll go and have a look."


    "Somebody


    Liu xiuphen said.


    A soldier came in and saluted.


    Liu Xiu said, "please come later."


    "Here it is


    Soldiers go down to inform, in a short time, Huang Yueying came to the hall.


    Liu Xiu said: "Yueying, Huzi invited us to see the military camp for martial arts. Let''s go and see zhen''er today. "


    Huang Yueying agreed, and she looked very happy.


    When Liu Zhen is thrown into the barracks, Huang Yueying is also worried.


    After all, Huang Yueying was the head of the harem and could not leave at will, so she did not visit the barracks.


    Now, Huang Yueying is looking forward to going with Liu Xiu.


    They left the palace and rode to the barracks. After arriving at the flying tiger camp, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying did not show up. They just sat in a corner of the camp and looked at everything on the campus.


    Huang Hu went forward to announce the order, and the recruits began to perform martial arts.


    A general in the army presided over the meeting, while Huang Hu returned to Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying.


    Huang Hu said: "king, the quality of these recruits is not bad. The performance of Shizi in the recruits is also very brilliant. "


    "In a short period of time, Shizi never adapted, then adapted, and then got used to it."


    "Shizi is very good."


    "Now, Shizi is a decent soldier."


    Huang Hu gave a brief account of Liu Zhen.


    For Liu Zhen, Huang Hu is very concerned about.


    All kinds of information about Liu Zhen are gathered on Huang Hu''s desk. He is very clear about Huang Hu''s situation.


    Huang Yueying said, "when will zhen''er play?"


    "Huang Hu said:" there will be a while, it should be about half a quarter of an hour


    Huang Yueying nodded.


    Liu Xiu didn''t open his mouth. He just looked at the recruits who were practicing martial arts, and his eyes showed approval.


    Under Huang Hu''s training, the mental outlook and quality of these recruits are really quite good.


    Time goes by little.


    Batch after batch of soldiers finished the exercise, and then they were replaced with new soldiers.


    Suddenly, Huang Hu said, "here we are!"


    Standing beside Liu Xiu, Huang Hu pointed to the shortest and thinnest one in the first row and said, "king and princess, the one on the edge of the first row is Shizi. Nowadays, Shizi has done a good job in both martial arts and the rest, and is not inferior to the adult soldiers. What Shizi lacks now is age. He''s too old to laugh, so he lacks strength. "


    Huang Yueying stares at Liu Zhen with tears in her eyes.


    Thinking of her son in the military camp, Huang Yueying is also quite worried.


    Liu Xiu looked at Liu Zhen, who was quite old in every move. His face was also filled with a touch of comfort. He praised him and said, "tiger, it''s hard for you."


    The army is a good place to train people.


    As long as they are trained according to the methods of the army, they can shape a person''s character.


    Liu Zhen is too fat.


    Throw it in the barracks to train some masculinity and also to cultivate a character of perseverance.


    Only in this way can Liu Zhen grow up.


    Little by little, Liu Xiu was not tall, but his martial arts performance was very methodical, with a look of relief in his eyes.


    However, Huang Yueying felt that Liu Zhen had suffered a lot. She said, "husband, can you let me see zhen''er?"


    Huang Hu frowned and said, "queen, I''m afraid it''s not right now."


    "Why?" Huang Yueying asked.


    Huang Hu zhengse way: "the son of the world now accept training, gradually wash off the body of the powder, gradually more masculine. Now when the princess sees the son, I''m afraid she will make him depend on him. "


    After hearing this, Huang Yueying said, "it''s not so serious."


    Liu Xiu thought rotation, but clapped: "see a see."


    Huang Yueying said excitedly, "thank you very much


    Huang Hu wanted to stop talking. Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Hu Zi, I just want to test Zhen ER and see what he thinks."


    "Huang Hu said:" the end will listen to the king''s arrangement


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    This time, we can see what Liu Zhen thinks.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Yueying and said, "Yueying, I''ll see Liu Zhen later. Just ask him if he would like to go back to the palace. ""Well!"


    Huang Yueying nodded.


    Just now Liu Xiu said to test. Obviously, this is the test.


    Liu xiudao: "let''s go to the big account of the Chinese army."


    After the end of Liu Zhen''s participation in the martial arts performance, Liu Xiu stopped watching, and a group of three came to the Chinese army tent.


    Huang Hu told the soldiers to call Liu Zhen.


    After a while, Liu Zhen entered the big account.


    When Liu Zhen saw Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying, he looked calm and didn''t feel much excited. He first saluted Huang Hu with his fist, then saluted Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying.


    Today''s Liu Zhen has a lot of dark skin.


    The original Liu Zhen white fat, a rich son''s manner.


    Now, the eyes are more firm.


    It''s just a lot.


    It''s more energetic.


    When Huang Yueying saw this scene, her lacrimal gland was completely suppressed, and her eyes were full of tears. Then she went to Liu Zhen and asked him.


    Do you eat well?


    Is it warm?


    Did you sleep well?


    ¡­¡­


    In a word, I asked Liu Zhen all the time.


    After that, Huang Yueying said, "zhen''er, you are so miserable in the barracks. Your mother will take you back to the palace."


    Liu Zhen took a look at Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu didn''t say anything.


    Liu Zhen looked at Huang Hu again, but Huang Hu didn''t say anything.


    Finally, Liu Zhen looked at Huang Yueying, shook his head and said, "mother, my son won''t go. My son likes to be in the military camp. My son should be able to be like his father. After his son has trained his skills, he will go back to the palace. Mr. Sima said that relying on parents can only enjoy the pleasure for a while. Son depends on himself, don''t be a waste. "


    "Good!"


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he couldn''t help making friends.


    This is Liu Xiu''s son.


    In a short time, Liu Zhen has indeed changed and become more heroic.


    After hearing this, Huang Yueying was also quite pleased.


    She nagged and talked to Liu Zhen. At last, Liu Zhen got impatient and said, "mother, my son still needs training. Let''s go first."


    After that, Liu Zhen saluted Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying.


    Then, he saluted Huang Hu before quitting.


    Huang Hu looked at Liu Xiu and said, "king, how is Shizi now?"


    Liu xiudao: "grown up."


    Three words, however, reveal the excitement in Liu Xiu''s heart.


    Liu Zhen is growing up, which is a good thing.


    Liu Xiu said, "Huzi, it''s hard for you. I didn''t expect that this boy was trained by you. "


    Huang Yueying also thanks Yingying.


    Huang Hu said, "it''s all the responsibility of the general."


    Three people talk also relaxed, Liu Xiu did not stay long, with Huang Yueying left.

 Chapter 810

    Pang Tong''s residence.


    In recent days, Pang Tong has been planning the affairs of Sun Quan.


    Pang Tong paid a visit to Gu Yong, Zhu Zhi, Xue Zong, Yu fan, and other officials of the state of Wu who were subordinated to the state of Chu.


    These people are all part of the plan.


    Today is the time to visit Sun Quan.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of footwork came into the room.


    The attendant saluted and said, "my Lord, Gu Yong and others are here."


    "Good!"


    Pang Tong had a smile on his face.


    He got up and went out of the room to the door.


    Pang Tong looked at the people standing at the gate of the mansion and said, "gentlemen, the king is very concerned about Sun Quan''s problem. I hope Sun Quan will submit to the state of Chu as soon as possible. Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu''s persuasion failed, and the king was also worried. So today, it''s up to you. Who can persuade Sun Quan to surrender? The king will give him a generous reward. "


    Zhu Zhi said: "we should do our best."


    Gu Yong said, "don''t worry, Pang Junshi. We will try our best."


    The rest of the people spoke.


    One by one, there is a look of expectation in their eyes.


    What Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu did not accomplish, if they did, they would undoubtedly be respected by Liu Xiu.


    Pang Tong boarded the carriage and left with the others.


    The carriage drove all the way and finally stopped outside the mansion.


    Pang Tong sent someone to deliver the famous stab, and soon Wu Guotai came out.


    Wu Guotai saw Pang Tong, Zhu Zhi, Xue Zong, Yu Fan and others. Finally, her eyes fell on Pang Tong and said, "Pang Junshi, this is..."


    Pang Tong saluted.


    In front of Wu Guotai, Pang Tong showed great respect.


    Then Pang Tong said, "madam, after Zhou Yu failed to persuade Sun Quan, the king was very dissatisfied. The king specially asked me to do Sun Quan''s work. "


    "But I have nothing to do with Sun Quan."


    "After thinking about it, I had to invite the original officials of the state of Wu to persuade Sun Quan."


    "These people are civil servants with outstanding talents and brilliant tongue. If they come to persuade Sun Quan, he may be able to change his mind and stop being stubborn. "


    "Old lady, I really don''t understand Sun Quan''s idea."


    "If he can submit to Cao Cao, why can''t he submit to the king of Chu?"


    "You know, the king is his brother-in-law, and they are related by marriage. As long as Sun Quan is subordinated and the king arranges a position at will, it''s good for the state of Chu and the sun family. Both sides are good. Why not? "


    Pang Tong sighed, with a helpless expression, and said: "it''s just that this matter has caused so much trouble that countless people have not been able to solve it. Well, it''s very disturbing. "


    In Pang Tong''s tone, he was dissatisfied with Sun Quan''s attitude.


    At the same time, it is also for the sake of Sun Quan.


    After hearing this, Wu Guotai doubted him and sighed: "Pang Junshi, I also persuade Zhongmou. Unfortunately, it just didn''t work. "


    Pang Tong said: "look at today''s situation. I don''t know what to do if none of these people are successful. Try it first, and then think about it. "


    "All right!"


    Wu Guotai nodded.


    She took Pang Tong, Gu Yong and Zhu Zhi into the mansion.


    In Sun Quan''s courtyard, Wu Guotai, Pang Tong, Zhu Zhi, Gu Yong and others entered.


    Everybody in the room.


    Pang Tong said with a smile, "brother Zhongmou, we meet again."


    Sun Quan was still a slovenly and decadent man, but his eyes were full of blood.


    These days, he can''t eat well and sleep well. He is very tired.


    Sun Quan looked at Pang Tong, then glanced at Gu Yong, Zhu Zhi and others, and sneered: "Pang Tong, you really don''t give up. It''s a lot of trouble to move out so many people now. Unfortunately, I will not surrender. "


    When Wu Guotai heard Sun Quan''s words, her heart was very upset.


    Sun Quan always does not cooperate, and she is also very worried.


    Looking at Sun Quan''s uncooperative expression, she wanted to listen to it, but now she lost interest. She just left the room and went outside to wait for news.


    Pang Tong saw Wu leave with a smile on his lips.


    Wu Guotai is not here, so things should be more reasonable.


    Pang Tong said, "brother Zhongmou, why are you suffering? If you obey the king, eat well and dress well, you don''t have to worry about everything. "


    Sun Quan said: "my king is not submissive. What can I do?"


    Gu Yong was once loyal to Sun Quan.


    Today, Gu Yong is an official under Liu Xiu and works in Liu Xiu''s palace.


    Gu Yong''s face was solemn and said, "king, I''ll call you king at last. Today, the state of Wu is no longer there. "


    "It doesn''t help if you indulge in the past."


    "In the past, when the state of Chu and the state of Wu fought each other, the state of Wu was always at a disadvantage.""It''s a matter of time before the state of Wu perishes."


    "It''s just a matter of time."


    "Why do you have to cling to the past and hold on to it?"


    Gu Yong''s words are very targeted, and there is no euphemistic persuasion, but the reality is incomparable. He continued: "as the saying goes, the general trend of the world, the division of time must be combined, the combination of time must be divided."


    "For so many years, wars have been frequent."


    "It''s reasonable for the state of Wu to show weakness and be destroyed."


    "You always put on airs and embarrass the king of Chu. The last thing you embarrass is yourself and the whole Wu family."


    Gu Yong bowed his hand and said, "give yourself a way to live, and give the sun family a way to live."


    In a word, there is a piercing reality.


    However, in the words, it is to let Sun Quan down and stop clinging to the past.


    After hearing this, Sun Quan sneered.


    Gu Yong''s words are really interesting. He even persuades him to surrender.


    Sun Quan looked at Gu Yong and said coldly, "Gu Yong, you are a bandit. This king attaches great importance to you and entrusts you with a heavy task. I didn''t expect that you betrayed so righteously. You should die. "


    The fierce murderous spirit diffused from Sun Quan''s heart.


    He really wanted to kill Gu Yong.


    Gu Yong''s expression was calm, and he continued: "in his position, seek his politics. When the state of Wu was in power, he devoted himself to his duty and tried his best to assist him. The state of Wu is gone. Should I be buried with you? Hum, the state of Wu is no longer there. What are you doing alive? "


    "If you want us to die, why are you alive?"


    "Sun Quan, don''t you think you are selfish?"


    "Since you don''t want to die or go to the yellow spring, why do you ask us?"


    "Sun Quan, you can''t be too selfish."


    Gu Yong''s words are very important, and even more heartbreaking.


    After hearing this, Sun Quan was very angry.


    Damn it!


    Damn Gu Yong.


    To say such a thing to humiliate him.


    Sun Quan was furious and said, "Gu Yong, you are a traitor. You are a villain in the back of your head."


    Gu Yong said: "when you are going down, you have to sit upright. You have no shame in your heart."


    At this time, the two sides suddenly appeared, which was tit for tat.


    Pang Tong looked in his eyes, but he laughed.


    That''s interesting.


    Only in this way can we further attack Sun Quan.


    At this time, Gu Yong''s eyes turned and looked at Pang Tong. It was at this moment that Pang Tong''s mind was a click, as if something had been seen through.


    Pang Tong''s eyes narrowed and his heart suddenly laughed.


    For a long time, Pang Tong used persuading Sun Quan as a reason and asked people to persuade him.


    The actual purpose has not been exposed.


    But Gu Yonggang''s eyes gave pangtong a feeling of being seen through.


    But it''s OK.


    Since Gu Yong didn''t break it, he went on.


    And even though Gu Yong saw through it, it had no influence, and no one could blame him.


    Sun Quan clenched his fist and was furious.


    At this time, Yu Fan stood up again.


    Yu Fan was a well-known scholar in the state of Wu. He had a lot of talent and learning. He turned out to be a man under Sun Quan, and he was also highly valued by Sun Quan.


    Yu Fan said, "I''ve met the king of Wu in Xiayu fan."


    "In front of us, you always call yourself the king."


    "But now, what qualifications do you have to be king? Can there be officials, soldiers and common people under your command? "


    "I have nothing left, and I still love it."


    "King Wu, the past has become the past. People have to look ahead."


    "Please put down your burden and be an ordinary man in Chu state."


    "Isn''t that good?"


    Yu fanyue went on to say that his words were more and more sharp, and said: "the king of Wu is now like this, which not only affects Zhang Gong, but also affects Zhou Gongjin."


    "These people have made great contributions to the state of Wu."


    "They didn''t apologize to Wu."


    "On the contrary, they gave so much and got nothing in the end."


    "It can be said that the state of Wu is sorry for them."


    Yu Fanzheng said: "king, please change your position. Don''t always think selfishly about yourself, but also about the situation of others, about Mrs. Shang Xiang, about the former officials of the state of Wu, and about the sun family. "


    "You look like you''re going to die, you don''t want to live, but there''s no need to pull everyone together."


    "When the state of Wu was here, everyone worked together."


    "Now that the state of Wu no longer exists, is it difficult for everyone to be buried with him?"


    Yu fan folded his hands and saluted: "please think twice."


    In front of Sun Quan, Yu fan still called the king of Wu.


    At least, he has maintained his respect for Sun Quan.After hearing Yu Fan''s words, Sun Quan was so angry that his chest was up and down. His eyes were full of blood, and blood was everywhere.


    These are the bandits.


    These are the people who betray the Lord.


    The more Sun Quan thought about it, the more angry he became. He growled: "it''s impossible for a group of people who disobey the Lord to make our king obey Liu Xiu. It''s impossible for me to pave the way for you. Even if I die, I will not let you succeed. "

 Chapter 811

    Sun Quan''s expression became serious.


    The brows wrinkled.


    Pang Tong''s request was to persuade Sun Quan to submit.


    If Sun Quan would rather die than surrender, it would be extremely unfavorable to them.


    Everyone looked worried.


    Pang Tong had the same expression, but his heart was full of laughter.


    That''s what he wants.


    It''s about Sun Quan''s death.


    Now it''s finally come to this.


    Yu Fan clenched his fist, looked scornful, and said: "Sun Quan, you are such a person. Selfish, shameless, headstrong. We can be sorry for your place, at least when the state of Wu was here, we devoted ourselves to it, without any double hearted. Now that the kingdom of Wu is destroyed, you would rather die than surrender, and you will drag us down. Why don''t you die in the state of Wei? "


    This is angry talk.


    Yu Fan was irritated by Sun Quan''s words, and he had no choice.


    When Sun Quan heard Yu Fan''s words, he was also angry.


    This is his former minister. He even scolded him for not dying in the state of Wei.


    Sun Quan was originally a man who had made his way to the top of a bull''s horn. He was even more reluctant to submit to Liu Xiu. Hearing Yu Fan''s words, he said, "Yu fan, I will not surrender. What can you do with me?"


    Yu stretched his finger to Sun Quan and said, "you..."


    Pang Tong stood up, pressed Yu Fan''s hand down and said with a smile, "brother Zhongmou, why do you have to do this? Why don''t you give yourself a way out and everyone a way out? "


    Sun Quan said: "Pang Tong, if you kneel down in front of the king, kneel down three times and kowtow nine times, the king will go up to the table and ask to surrender."


    Pang Tong big sleeve a brush, cold way: "Sun Quan, you are really crazy."


    Sun Quan said, "I''m crazy, so what?"


    Pang Tong looked at the others and motioned them to persuade them.


    At this time, another person came forward.


    This man''s name is bu Lu, who was also a former important Minister of Wu state and a man Sun Quan relied on.


    Bu Chu bowed his hand and said, "Zhongmou, it''s so far. It''s no use trying to be brave. What''s the use of your city walls? What''s the good for the country and the family? In my opinion, it''s down. Do you have the heart to worry the old lady when she is old? You have children under your knees. Are you kind? Don''t they have fatherhood? As a son, husband and father, you should shoulder your responsibilities. "


    These words made Sun Quan''s eyes show a touch of meditation.


    Son of man!


    Be a man!


    Be a father!


    This is Sun Quan''s responsibility.


    Sun Quan''s heart is loose.


    Pang Tong saw the change of Sun Quan and took a look at bu he. The secret way is bad.


    Sun Quan was shaken by this step.


    Pang Tong didn''t need Sun Quan to live, he just needed Sun Quan to die completely, and then he no longer affected the official circles of Chu.


    If Sun Quan is alive, it will be unfavourable to the situation.


    Pang Tong said: "Sun Quan, Bu''s words are very reasonable. The state of Wu has been destroyed. You are just asking the king to surrender. What I really want you to do is to surrender in front of all the civil and military officials. It''s just one thing. There''s nothing else you can do. So, let''s go down. As for you, after you surrender, you can fulfill your responsibilities as a son, husband and father. "


    The hesitation in Sun Quan''s eyes suddenly disappeared.


    His eyes were firm again.


    When Pang Tong saw it, he said again, "why be so stubborn? All the civil and military officials in Jiangdong have been demoted, and Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu have been put in important position after they have been subordinated. Maybe if you surrender, you will be entrusted with heavy responsibilities. After all, Mrs. Shang Xiang is also the king''s favorite. "


    When Sun Quan heard about sun Shangxiang, he was even more angry.


    It was Liu Xiu that Sun Quan hated.


    Originally, Sun Quan had been shaken by Bu''s words, but when he heard Pang Tong say that he would surrender to Liu Xiu in front of all the civil and military officials in the main hall, Sun Quan was not happy.


    He is a great grandson. How can he do such a shameful thing.


    In particular, let him kneel down to Liu Xiu.


    As for sun Shangxiang, Sun Quan has always been very angry because he never helped him.


    Bu Gu saw that Sun Quan''s face had changed, and he didn''t know the reason why Sun Quan''s mind had changed. He continued: "Zhongmou, the old and young of this family need your support. You should consider it clearly."


    Sun Quan big sleeve a brush, way: "need not consider, this king won''t surrender."


    At this time, Sun Quan''s anger rose again.


    Looking at bu he in front of him, Sun Quan looked angry.


    Sun Quan said: "Bu, look at you. You look very proud. You are very important."


    Bu said, "you''re serious."


    Sun Quan sneered twice, looked contemptuous, and said, "your sister married the king, and even gave birth to an heir. You are also from the state of Wu. "


    "I have great respect for you.""Ha, it''s good of you to take advantage of Liu Xiu''s salary."


    "Traitors who eat inside and outside."


    Sun Quan sprayed Bu Gu with blood.


    BU Xiang and Mrs. Bu are of the same family. Mrs. Bu was deeply loved by Sun Quan, so BU Xiang was once valued by Sun Quan.


    Bu''s persuasion was meant to be good.


    In the twinkling of an eye, Sun Quan directly drank and scolded Bu Jia, which made Bu Jia''s face change greatly.


    Pang Tong was amused in his eyes.


    That''s the effect.


    Pang Tong once again said, "Sun Quan, why do you scold Mr. Bu? The state of Wu is gone. The state of Wu no longer exists. What''s the point of scolding Mr. Bu. Implicating others is a sign of incompetence, which can only prove your inner emptiness. "


    Bu was not allowed to be bullied. He stared at Sun Quan and said, "Sun Quan, I''m here for you, but you''re shameless. Hum, if you want to surrender, surrender. If you don''t want to surrender, just surrender. "


    Sun Quan pointed at him by the nose and scolded him, but he was not happy.


    He is not Sun Quan''s man.


    Why let Sun Quan drink and scold.


    When Sun Quan heard Bu''s words, he immediately sneered and said, "ha, it''s true now. How can a traitor like you really think for the king. You persuade me to surrender just for the sake of power, but to please Liu Xiu. "


    "Go away, you all go away!"


    Sun Quan yelled.


    At this moment, Sun Quan''s appearance is like madness, incomparable madness.


    Pang Tong looked at the people under his command, but they all shook their heads one after another.


    Today''s Sun Quan can''t be persuaded at all.


    In such a situation, they also find it difficult.


    Pang Tong sighed: "Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao is here, Zhou Yu is here. All the people under your command are persuading you. Why do you want to die?"


    Sun Quan said with disdain, "Pang Tong, go away. I don''t want to hear your voice."


    Pang Tong sighed and said, "If heaven does evil, you can still live. Do not live if you do evil. Who can blame you for your obstinacy? "


    Sun Quan looked coldly at Pang Tong.


    The rest of the people stopped talking.


    He who speaks is spurted bloody by Sun Quan, and no one is willing to speak.


    Under such circumstances, no one is willing to persuade.


    Pang Tong said, "just go."


    At the moment, Pang Tong''s face showed a helpless look.


    Gu Yong folded his hands, bowed his hands and left.


    Bu Jia, Zhu Zhi and others also saluted and left one after another.


    One by one, Pang Tong left the room. Looking at Sun Quan, he shook his head helplessly and left with others.


    Out of the yard, Sun Quan''s room was roaring and swearing.


    When Pang Tong took the people out of the yard, he saw Wu Guotai waiting outside the yard.


    Pang Tong waved the crowd away.


    At this time, only the state of Wu and Pang Tong were left.


    Pang Tong said, "old lady, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and Gu Yong have searched all over the place. All the people who come to persuade Sun Quan are useless, and they have been scolded."


    "Now, I don''t know what to do."


    "What can you do?"


    "In fact, the king didn''t ask much, that is, to let Sun Quan come to the palace and present his surrender in front of all the civil and military officials."


    "For Sun Quan, that''s kind enough."


    "What''s more, in exchange for Sun Quan, the king also released Zhang Liao and Xun you."


    With a solemn look, Pang Tong said, "I was definitely against the release of Zhang Liao and Xun you. What''s the use of rescuing Sun Quan? It''s no use farting. On the contrary, it''s a mess. But Zhang Liao and Xun you are different. They are real talents. "


    After hearing this, Mrs. Wu drew on her wrinkled face.


    She is also aware of this situation.


    Sun Shangxiang once told her that Liu Xiu paid a price to get Sun Quan back.


    Wu Guotai said: "Pang Junshi, I will persuade Zhongmou again."


    Pang Tong nodded and said, "madam, I''m going to have to think about other ways. After all, this is something arranged by the king, and I have to continue to do it. Well, I''ll leave first. "


    Wu Guotai got up to send Pang Tong away.

 Chapter 812

    Seeing Pang Tong off, Wu Guotai returns to her backyard.


    Looking at the broken vase and Sun Quan lying on the ground, Wu was too angry.


    Wu Guotai said, "Zhongmou, what are you going to do? Liu Xiu traded Zhang Liao and Xun you for you. Is that all you have to do? "


    Sun Quan smoked from the corner of his mouth.


    Hearing Wu Guotai''s words, Sun Quan was not very happy.


    Originally angry, Sun Quan was even more angry.


    Sun Quan roared: "I didn''t let him come back for me. Liu Xiu is so cunning. He rescued me and asked me to present my surrender in front of all the civil and military officials. Didn''t he want to completely subdue the officials of the state of Wu? "


    "No way!"


    "I will never offer a surrender watch."


    "Liu Xiu is a fool who dreams."


    Sun Quan''s forehead was full of blue tendons and his eyes were red, just like a raging beast.


    After Wu Guotai saw it, she also had no patience: "you can''t help it!"


    After that, Mrs. Wu turned and left.


    Sun Quan was lying in the room, laughing, full of desolation.


    No help?


    He''s really hopeless and doesn''t want to live.


    Zhang Zhao comes to persuade, Zhou Yu comes to persuade, bu Jia comes to persuade, and his mother and sister come to persuade


    Everything, everything, is a shame to him.


    Lying on the ground, Sun Quan didn''t want anything, so he was in a muddle.


    Time goes by little.


    At night.


    A little moonlight scattered in the yard, through the window, shining into the room.


    Sun Quan wakes up.


    He looked at the door and there was a plate of food.


    Obviously, after he went to sleep, someone brought him a meal, but immediately left. He didn''t even wake him up, or he didn''t dare to wake him up.


    "Ha ha..."


    Sun Quan smiles.


    The smile on his face was full of embarrassment and irony.


    What''s embarrassing is your position.


    It''s their situation that''s ironic.


    Today, he is a person that everyone can persuade.


    It seems that he is wrong not to surrender Liu Xiu.


    "Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, you are really powerful."


    "In the past, when you were in Changsha County, you blocked the attack of the king as a small magistrate."


    "At that time, I didn''t pay attention to you."


    "I didn''t expect to be your prisoner now."


    "You are powerful enough!"


    "You won, you did."


    "But it''s absolutely impossible for you to make the king surrender and kneel down in front of you and hand in his surrender watch."


    "I''d rather die than admit defeat to you."


    Sun Quan talks about it.


    His mind was filled with scenes of confrontation with Liu Xiu.


    Unfortunately, it''s all about his defeat.


    "When I''m dead, I''m no longer disturbed and no one can persuade me."


    "It''s just that I''m not reconciled."


    Sun Quan was dead hearted.


    At this time, Sun Quan''s heart has sprouted the will to die.


    As long as he didn''t surrender, someone would persuade him. Sun Quan didn''t want to see these people. Moreover, he would never surrender to Liu Xiu.


    "Father, brother, Zhongmou is ashamed of you."


    "When my son dies, I don''t have to suffer any more."


    "I''m so tired to live!"


    Sun Quan stumbled to his feet, staggered to the door and closed the door.


    He took the bowl and finished all the food.


    And smashed the bowl.


    Picking up a fragment, he cut his finger.


    "Hiss!"


    Sun Quan took a cool breath.


    The blood flowed from Sun Quan''s fingers.


    Sun Quan endured the pain of his fingers, took off his robe and wrote eight words on the white robe.


    "The sun family will never become an official."


    Eight words, extremely red.


    These eight words written on the white robe are extremely dazzling.


    After all this, Sun Quan stood up.


    Standing in the room, Sun Quan grinned and said, "father, brother, Zhongmou is here."


    He took off his belt and hung it on the beam as soon as he threw it. Then he took a stool and stood on it. He tied the belt in a knot and hung it in the air.


    "Mother, little sister, goodbye."


    "I''m sorry for you."


    Sun Quan murmured to himself, his eyes moist.


    Crystal tears, from the corner of the eye.


    As soon as Sun Quan clenched his teeth, he put his head in, stepped on his feet, and the wooden stool fell to the ground.The belt tightened and tightened Sun Quan''s neck.


    Sun Quan struggled, but the more he struggled, the more uncomfortable he was.


    The endless feeling of suffocation permeated Sun Quan''s mind, and his eyes gradually darkened.


    Thoughts in the brain, as if the soul flying misty.


    "Liu Xiu, fight again in the afterlife."


    The last thought in Sun Quan''s mind came up. In a flash, he stopped struggling, and his body was hanging in the air, swinging slightly.


    The night was still.


    The moon was cold and the yard was quiet.


    In summer night, the moon is like a disk, making the night like day.


    Wu Guotai lies down to sleep. She is angry with Sun Quan during the day, so she goes to bed early.


    But in the middle of the night, she was awakened.


    Somehow, Wu Guotai''s heart was in a mess, very flustered.


    After sitting up, Mrs. Wu put on a robe and sat quietly. She rubbed her temples and felt that there was still confusion in her mind.


    I''m old and I''m in a bad mood.


    Today, she also feels powerless, especially about Sun Quan.


    "Bang! Bang


    Suddenly, a quick knock on the door came from outside the room.


    "Old lady, it''s not good. King Wu hanged himself."


    The servant girl''s voice suddenly rang out.


    When Wu Guotai heard this, her eyes became blank.


    Did Sun Quan commit suicide?


    It''s impossible.


    Mrs. Wu stood up and was about to walk out, but when she took a step, her legs softened and she collapsed to the ground.


    At the moment, Mrs. Wu is in a state of confusion.


    Sun Shao is still young.


    The family is supported by Sun Quan.


    However, Sun Quan committed suicide.


    Wu Guotai put her hands on the ground and stood up carefully. Rao was so. Her legs were still weak and she was staggering when she walked.


    At the door, Mrs. Wu opened it.


    The servant girl''s expression is also flustered, six gods have no master.


    The servant girl said, "old lady, the king of Wu killed himself."


    By this time, Wu Guotai had calmed down and said in a deep voice, "help me to Zhongmou''s yard."


    "Here it is


    The servant girl nodded and helped Wu Guotai walk quickly.


    As she walked along, Wu Guotai said, "did the others inform you?"


    Servant girl way: "already informed everybody madam."


    Wu Guotai nodded, his face as deep as water.


    At this time, Wu Guotai''s heart sank a little bit.


    The closer she was to Sun Quan''s residence, the more her heart sank.


    When I came to the outside of Sun Quan''s yard, I heard the cry inside. It was all the voice of Sun Quan''s woman.


    Wu Guotai entered into it without saying a word.


    Come to Sun Quan''s body, looking at Sun Quan''s cold body, Wu Guotai''s heart trembles.


    Sun Jian is dead!


    Sun CE is dead!


    Sun Quan also died.


    She lost her husband, her son in middle age and her son in old age.


    How cruel to her.


    Wu Guotai looked at the weeping women in the backyard and said, "shut up."


    As soon as she opened her mouth, all the women stopped crying.


    Wu Guotai looked around and saw the eight words on the white robe.


    "The sun family will never become an official."


    Eight blood red characters, clearly welcome into the eyes of Wu.


    These eight words are very eye-catching.


    Wu Guotai knew Sun Quan''s handwriting. This is Sun Quan''s handwriting.


    Obviously, Sun Quan didn''t want his family to surrender to Liu Xiu.


    Sun Quan would rather die than surrender, and he hoped that the sun family would do the same and not bow to Liu Xiu.


    Wu Guotai saw these eight words and knew that Sun Quan did not want to live.


    Sun Quan really committed suicide.


    Wu Guotai already has his own judgment in mind.


    But Mrs. Wu still sighed and mourned, because she had lost another son.


    "Somebody


    Wu Guotai ordered.


    The housekeeper was waiting for him. When he heard Mrs. Wu''s order, he quickly stepped forward.


    Wu Guotai said: "immediately send someone into the palace to inform Xiang''er that her elder brother has passed away."


    "Here it is


    The housekeeper has to make arrangements immediately.


    Wu Guotai didn''t cry. She forced herself to arrange for Sun Quan''s affairs and prepare a coffin for him.


    Things are arranged one by one.


    The whole Wu house is already in a busy state.


    And the servant sent by the housekeeper also came to the gate of the palace.


    Looking at the soldiers standing guard outside the palace, the attendant said in a hurry, "I''m under the order of old lady Wu. I''d like to meet lady Shangxiang. Please pass on the message."The soldier said, "in the middle of the night, the princess has already rested."


    The servant said in a hurry, "King Wu is dead. Please inform Madame Shangxiang immediately."


    The soldier didn''t respond for a moment and said, "which King of Wu?"


    The attendant said, "Sun Quan!"


    After hearing this, the soldier''s face suddenly changed.


    It is well known that Sun Quan''s identity is extremely sensitive.


    The soldier said, "you wait. I''ll report it right away."

 Chapter 813

    The court is very strong and the defense is very strict.


    The soldier went to the palace to report. He walked for nearly a quarter of an hour before he came outside the palace. However, he could not meet him directly. Instead, he reported to the palace attendant and asked him to pass on. After that, the soldier met sun Shangxiang.


    Sun Shangxiang looked solemn and said, "what''s the matter?"


    The soldier said, "tell the princess that people from the Wu family came from outside the palace and said that Sun Quan died."


    Brush!


    Sun Shangxiang''s face suddenly turned pale.


    Sun Quan is dead!


    How is that possible?


    Sun Quan clenched his fist and said, "are you sure?"


    "Sure!"


    The soldier affirmed.


    Sun Shangxiang waved his hand and said, "I know. Go down and let the messenger go back first."


    "Here it is


    The soldiers withdrew.


    In the palace.


    Only sun Shangxiang and her maid were left.


    Servant girl way: "princess, whether inform king immediately?"


    Sun Shangxiang said: "notice."


    "Here it is


    The servant girl should descend, then turn round to inform.


    Sun Shangxiang directly changed his clothes, dressed in white plain clothes, waiting quietly.


    But she said that the maid went to the study first, but she didn''t see anyone.


    After inquiry, I learned that Liu Xiu was at Huang Yueying''s residence.


    The servant girl came to Huang Yueying''s palace, looked at the waiter standing outside the palace, and said, "my Lord, please inform the king that Sun Quan, the elder brother of lady Shangxiang, has passed away."


    Liu Xiu''s entourage was not involved in the government.


    Can follow all day, naturally know something.


    As soon as I heard the news of Sun Quan''s death, I was also shocked.


    It''s a big deal.


    The Chamberlain hurried into the palace, then went outside the room and found the maid in charge of taking care of the gathering of Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying. She asked the maid in charge to wake up Liu Xiu.


    The night was already deep, and Liu Xiu had gone to bed.


    Liu Xiu came out with a robe.


    "What''s the matter?"


    Liu Xiu asked.


    It must be a big event for the waiter to come up in the evening.


    NEISHI reported: "king, Sun Quan is dead."


    "What?"


    Liu Xiu eyebrow head a pick, look in the eyes some accident.


    Immediately, Liu Xiu recovered and said in a deep voice, "is this really true?"


    "It''s the news from lady Shangxiang," he said


    Liu Xiu said, "get ready and go to Shangxiang''s yard at once."


    When he entered the palace, he immediately ordered the maids to change clothes for him. Huang Yueying was also awakened by this action. She got up to dress Liu Xiu in person and said, "king, what happened? It''s so urgent. "


    "Sun Quan is dead," Liu said


    Huang Yueying was surprised and said, "how can it be? Sun Quan is fine. He will die if he dies. "


    Liu xiudao said: "for the time being, I''m going to Shangxiang''s yard and go to Sun Quan''s house with her. Go on sleeping. "


    Huang Yueying said, "I will go with you."


    "All right!"


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    Sun Quan died, sun Shangxiang is sad, Huang Yueying went just to comfort sun Shangxiang.


    Both of them changed their clothes and put on plain clothes.


    Out of the palace, under the leadership of the waiter, soon came to sun Shangxiang''s palace. Entering it, I saw sun Shangxiang sitting on the stone bench, numb and dazed, with a dull look in his eyes, but his eyes were already wet.


    Drop by drop of tears, from the corner of the eye.


    Once upon a time, sun Shangxiang was the carefree apple of the eye of the state of Wu. He didn''t have to worry about anything.


    If she wants to practice martial arts, she will.


    If she wants to play, she plays.


    But after sun CE died, it gradually changed.


    Because Sun Quan is more restrictive to her.


    When Sun Quan wants to restrain Liu Xiu and take advantage of her marriage with Liu Xiu, intending to detain Liu Xiu, sun Shangxiang is very angry with Sun Quan.


    Because in Sun Quan''s eyes, only the state of Wu, only the power, did not worry about her feelings.


    In particular, Liu Xiu hijacked Lu Su and fled, leaving sun Shangxiang alone.


    At that time, sun Shangxiang even aspired to die.


    I don''t know how to survive. In a word, time goes down a little bit.


    Later, Liu Xiu and Sun Quan fought, and Sun Quan was defeated.


    Finally, in order to make peace with Liu Xiu, Sun Quan proposed marriage again and married sun Shangxiang to Liu Xiu. Sun Shangxiang was unwilling, but Sun Quan and Wu Guotai persuaded sun Shangxiang to marry Liu Xiu.


    After getting married, sun Shangxiang gradually became happy.


    Because Liu Xiu is very kind to her.


    Especially at Liu Xiu''s side, she didn''t have to worry about anything and didn''t participate in political affairs, so she did what she liked.Everything is fine.


    But then the state of Chu became stronger and the state of Wu became weaker. Sun Shangxiang was also worried.


    Worry about Sun Quan''s future.


    Sure enough, the state of Wu was unable to resist, and Sun Quan asked Wu to write a blood letter.


    Unfortunately, she can''t help at all.


    Because she''s not involved in politics.


    What she can do is to let Liu Xiu leave his blood for sun, and try her best to protect Sun Quan.


    Unfortunately, the state of Wu was finally destroyed.


    Later, she learned that Sun Quan was willing to give up his power in order to get the support of the state of Wei. He handed the throne to Sun Shao and went to the state of Wei as a hostage.


    At this time, she suddenly felt a little distressed for Sun Quan.


    Because all his life, Sun Quan pursued power and stabilized the state of Wu.


    For the sake of sun''s foundation and the state of Wu, Sun Quan gave everything.


    In the end, Sun Quan became a prisoner of Cao Cao.


    Finally, Sun Quan was returned.


    Sun Shangxiang was very happy, because his brother and sister charged, especially Sun Quan did not have to bear the burden any more, so he could go down easily.


    It''s a pity that sun Shangxiang persuaded Sun Quan, but he broke up in a bad mood.


    I still remember persuasion in the past.


    Now, however, the world has been separated, and Sun Quan can no longer be seen.


    Even though sun Shangxiang and Sun Quan have too much estrangement and too much unhappiness, they are blood relatives after all.


    It''s the connection in flesh and blood that cuts continuously.


    Today, Sun Quan is dead.


    Thinking of this, sun Shangxiang couldn''t help but feel sad.


    She was very upset.


    "Step on it! Step on


    The sound of walking awoke sun Shangxiang, who was immersed in grief. She looked up and saw Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying in plain clothes.


    Sun Shangxiang said, "I''ve met the king and my sister."


    Liu xiudao: "don''t be too polite."


    Huang Yueying said, "sister Shangxiang, the deceased is gone. I''m sorry for your change."


    Sun Shangxiang nodded slightly.


    It''s just the grief in my heart that I can''t suppress all the time.


    Liu xiudao: "let''s go. We''ll go to mourn brother Zhongmou right away."


    "Well!"


    Sun Shangxiang nodded.


    After leaving the palace, they took a carriage and went straight to the sun family.


    Today''s Sun family has been decorated with white silk everywhere.


    The sound of pain, the sound of sadness, one after another.


    The whole mansion was immersed in grief.


    With the death of Sun Quan, the sun family lost its backbone and had no one to support it.


    When Liu Xiu''s carriage arrived, the house was ablaze with lights.


    There were also people at the door.


    After Liu Xiu, Huang Yueying and sun Shangxiang arrived, the people who received them immediately yelled, "the king of Chu is here!"


    A cry came into the hall.


    The hall has been set up as a memorial hall.


    Sun Quan''s coffin is in it, and all the people of the sun family are in mourning hall.


    Wu Guotai, Daqiao, Sun Shao, and Sun Quan''s eldest son came out to greet them. Sun Quan''s eldest son, sun Deng, has red eyes, but he is not very old, even two years younger than Liu Zhen, so he doesn''t understand.


    "I''ve met the king of Chu."


    Wu Guotai and others salute respectfully.


    Liu xiudao said: "don''t be polite. I''m surprised that brother Zhongmou died. I''m sorry, madam


    "Thank you, King Chu," said Wu


    When sun Shangxiang arrived here, he couldn''t help it any more. He rushed to the coffin and sobbed.


    Huang Yueying and Liu Xiu offer incense and comfort Sun Quan''s family.


    Liu Xiu and others did not know about Sun Quan''s death.


    After some inquiry, Wu Guotai also explained that Sun Quan was overburdened and eventually committed suicide.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu said with emotion, "it''s a pity, it''s a pity."


    Liu Xiu felt sorry for Sun Quan''s death.


    After all, Sun Quan is also a hero.


    This kind of person is outstanding, it is hanged beam to commit suicide eventually.


    But I have to admit, Liu Xiu''s heart, but there is a trace of pleasure. The death of Sun Quan made sun''s family lose hope completely, and the rest of the Wu people could no longer turn the waves.


    Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Lu Ji and others


    Since then, it can only serve Chu.


    As for the young son Sun Quan left behind, and the rest of the sun family, there is no influence.


    They don''t have the prestige and influence of Sun Quan.


    Sun Quan died. That''s the extra benefit.


    Of course, Liu Xiu will not reveal his ideas, which can not be revealed.

 Chapter 814

    Liu Xiu looked at Wu Guotai and said, "old lady, if you need any help, please let me know. I will do my best to help you."


    At this time, Liu Xiu had to give a hand.


    After all, the sun family and Liu Xiu still have in laws.


    Wu Guotai said, "the king of Chu, I do have a request. I hope the king of Chu will give me permission."


    Liu Xiu said, "please, old lady."


    When Sun Quan died, there was no threat to the Wu family. At this time, as long as the request is not excessive, Liu Xiu can allow.


    Wu Guotai said: "when Zhongmou was dying, Zeng xueshu told him that the sun family could no longer be involved in official career."


    "I can''t help but satisfy Zhongmou''s request."


    "So after Zhongmou was buried, I hope to take the sun family to Yizhou and settle down in Yizhou."


    "Please allow the king of Chu."


    Wu Guotai had a pleading look.


    Xiangyang is the political center of Chu state. If you stay in Xiangyang, you will stay in Vanity Fair.


    Without Sun Quan, the sun family said it would not be used.


    Simply move directly to Yizhou, which is the best arrangement.


    When I went to Yizhou, the emperor was far away, and the sun family was starting all over again.


    In fact, Mrs. Wu wanted to go back to Fuchun county.


    After all, the sun family originated in Fuchun county.


    It''s just that Fuchun county is in the state of Wu. If you want to go back to Fuchun County, Liu Xiu doesn''t necessarily agree. Finally, Wu Guotai chose to enter Yizhou.


    Liu Xiu frowned and said, "does the old lady really want to go to Yizhou?"


    "Yes, I have already discussed with Daqiao and others, waiting for the order of the king of Chu."


    Wu Guotai nodded solemnly.


    Xiangyang is full of sadness.


    It''s better to go to Yizhou to start over.


    Liu Xiu thought carefully for a moment, nodded and said: "since the old lady has the will, I can''t say it if I don''t agree with her. Sun Shao, as the son of the sun family, was granted the title of Pixian County and Marquis of Pixian


    To be a marquis is to appease the sun family.


    Of course, this is only a county Marquis, and only has the right to collect taxes.


    It is impossible to interfere in politics.


    The power of appointing Pixian officials is still in Liu Xiu''s hands.


    To some extent, Sun Shao was granted the title of Marquis of Pixian. After he lived in Pixian, he was also under the control of Liu Xiu.


    In particular, Liu Xiu''s gift is very interesting.


    It was not sun Deng, the son of Sun Quan, but Sun Shao, the son of sun CE, who granted the reward.


    This means that Sun Quan''s life is in complete decline.


    Big Qiao sits at one side, hear Liu Xiu''s words, in the heart is also joyful. However, she did not reveal it, but looked at Wu Guotai. All the men in the sun family are dead, only the old and the weak are left. Now the right to speak is in the hands of Wu Guotai. It depends on what Wu Guotai says.


    Wu Guotai said: "I will abide by the arrangement of the king of Chu."


    It''s nice to have a marquis.


    And although the sun family entered Yizhou, it was impossible to get rid of Liu Xiu''s control and disappear in Liu Xiu''s sight.


    When Daqiao saw that Wu Guotai was responding, he was also relieved.


    When the matter was settled, Liu Xiu called the internal servant directly and asked him to write it down and appoint him when he returned to the palace.


    Liu Xiu and Wu Guotai have a lot to say, but sun Shangxiang on the other side can''t help crying.


    Thinking about the scenes with Sun Quan in the past, she couldn''t control her emotions.


    After a while, sun Shangxiang recovered.


    Sun Shangxiang sobbed in a low voice and came to Liu Xiushen''s side and said, "Your Majesty, my elder brother has passed away. I want to keep a wake for my elder brother. Please allow me."


    As the princess of Wu.


    When Sun Quan died, it was enough for her to come to worship him.


    It takes time to wake.


    Liu Xiu did not stop him. He nodded and said, "yes, you can stay for the wake. You are the daughter of the old lady, and now you are the pillar of the sun family. You can''t be too sad. You have to comfort the old lady. "


    "Well!"


    Sun Shangxiang nodded.


    Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying stayed for a while, then got up and left.


    In the hall, gradually only crying.


    Sun Shangxiang sat staring at the coffin, sighed and watched with Wu Guotai.


    When Liu Xiu returned to the palace, he first wrote down the imperial edict to seal Sun Shao, then put it aside and asked the servant to issue it after Sun Quan was buried, and then went to sleep.


    It''s early in the morning in June and July.


    Early in the morning, a bright red sun has been hanging across the sky.


    The news of Sun Quan''s death soon spread.


    Pang Tong mansion.


    When the news reached Pang Tong''s ears, he began to laugh.


    Pang Tong was not sad when Sun Quan died.


    Even though Sun Quan had been subordinated to Liu Xiu, in Pang Tong''s eyes, Sun Quan was still the enemy. Like Sun Quan, he has a firm will and a tough character.Sun Quan died and did not surrender. Once he had the right chance, maybe Sun Quan would get into trouble.


    At that time, it will be a disaster.


    Now, sun Baiquan has no hidden danger.


    Pang Tong looked at the housekeeper and asked, "Sun Quan died, but how did Sun Quan die?"


    The housekeeper replied, "I hanged myself."


    After a pause, the housekeeper said: "it is said that when Sun Quan died, he cut his finger and wrote a blood letter, saying that sun''s family would never become an official. It seems that Sun Quan does not want his descendants to be officials in Chu. "


    Pang Tong sneered twice and said, "Sun Quan has been fighting with the king all his life. Coupled with the hatred of the sun family''s parents, Sun Quan naturally doesn''t want his descendants to serve the state of Chu. The sun family has been destroyed since then. "


    The housekeeper said, "do you want to go to mourn?"


    "Of course


    Pang Tong didn''t even think about it, so he answered directly.


    Sun Quan''s death, on the surface, is that Sun Quan couldn''t think of it and finally committed suicide.


    But Pang Tong knew it was his plan.


    The persuasion of Pang Tong, sun Shangxiang, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Zhu Zhi, bu Jia and others made Sun Quan feel betrayed and alienated, and feel stabbed by his own people. Finally, his heart was as cold as ashes, so he committed suicide.


    That''s the incentive.


    Of course, it''s not easy to see through.


    Because one by one to persuade Sun Quan, this is for the sake of Sun Quan.


    Moreover, even if some people see through, they dare not say it.


    Pang Tong got up and changed his plain clothes. He took a carriage and went to Sun Quan''s house.


    ¡­¡­


    Zhou Yu''s residence.


    Early in the morning, Zhou Yu was still sleeping.


    Today''s Zhou Yu, though already working in the state of Chu, is not so active.


    Go to bed when you should in the morning.


    Sleep until you wake up, and then get up.


    It''s different to be pregnant with a beautiful woman.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of footwork came from outside the room.


    Xiao Qiao''s servant girl came in. As soon as she came in, Xiao Qiao woke up and looked at the servant girl.


    The servant girl went up to Xiao Qiao and said in a low voice: "madam, Sun Quan died last night. He committed suicide. This morning, the news just came


    Xiao Qiao was stunned.


    Sun Quan is dead!


    Sun Quan is the pillar of the sun family.


    Xiao Qiao nodded, and her servant girl stepped down. She looked at Zhou Yu, who was sleeping on one side. She quickly woke him up and said, "husband, something happened. Sun Quan died last night. She committed suicide."


    Zhou Yu was still in a daze.


    As soon as I heard the news, I woke up.


    Zhou Yu''s face was also inconceivable. He said, "how can it be that Zhong Mou is well? How can he commit suicide?"


    Little Joe shook his head.


    Xiao Qiao doesn''t know what Sun Quan thinks.


    Zhou Yu said, "come on


    The servant girl came in and saluted respectfully.


    "Wash immediately," Zhou said


    "Here it is


    The servant girl answered and soon brought in water for Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao to wash.


    They had a simple breakfast and then left in a hurry.

 Chapter 815

    Zhang Zhao''s residence.


    Zhang Zhao entered the core of Liu Xiu''s command, but he was very conscientious.


    He got up early.


    Especially when people get older, they have less time to sleep, so they wash up early and finish breakfast.


    Change into clothes, Zhang Zhao is ready to go out.


    Just at the time of going out, a servant came in a hurry and reported: "my Lord, it''s not good. Sun Quan committed suicide. He committed suicide last night. "


    Zhang Zhao was stunned when he heard the news.


    Sun Quan committed suicide.


    Sun Quan, also a tough man, chose to commit suicide.


    However, Zhang Zhao''s heart, but there is still a light.


    Zhang Zhao lamented the death of Sun Quan, some lamented, some lost.


    After all, Sun Quan was the ruler he once served.


    After so many years of cooperation, the two sides must have some feelings. Sun Quan''s sudden death made Zhang Zhao feel uncomfortable.


    However, after Sun Quan died, the state of Wu disappeared completely.


    Since then, Zhang Zhao has no further constraints.


    Zhang Zhao immediately returned, changed his clothes and went straight to the sun family.


    ¡­¡­


    When Pang Tong, Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao went to the sun''s home together, Kuai Liang, Yi Ji, Lu Su, Gu Yong, Zhu Zhi and bu Yu all knew about it.


    As long as it is Chu officialdom, all without exception went.


    After all, Sun Quan is dead.


    Sun Quan has nothing to do with the state of Chu, but he is sun Shangxiang''s elder brother after all.


    We still need to give this face.


    So many people went to the sun''s family, and there was a torrent on the official road.


    Looking up, the streets outside the sun family are full of carriages.


    When Pang Tong arrived, Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu also arrived.


    Pang Tong saw them, with a painful expression on his face, went forward and said, "brother Zhang, brother Gongjin."


    Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu saluted back.


    When they entered the mansion, they all expressed their condolence and regret.


    After a walk, they all left.


    But Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu stayed.


    They''re not the same people.


    Little Joe is big Joe''s sister. She has to comfort Big Joe.


    Zhou Yu is sun CE''s sworn brother. To some extent, Zhou Yu is Sun Quan''s elder brother. When Sun Quan died, Zhou Yu, the elder brother, had to stay and mourn.


    Zhou Yu learned the details from Wu Guotai.


    After hearing this, Zhou Yu felt deeply.


    Sun Quan is too strong.


    In other words, Sun Quan had a big problem with Liu Xiu.


    Sun Quan can submit to Cao Cao.


    However, Sun Quan is not willing to work for Liu Xiu.


    This resulted in the tragedy of Sun Quan.


    Pang Zhongleng persuades sun Yitong to commit suicide.


    In fact, it is also Sun Quan''s own character.


    If Sun Quan can put it down, it will not be a problem.


    When Zhou Yu heard that Wu Guotai was going to move his family to Pixian, he sighed, but he didn''t stop it.


    When the Wu family went to Pixian, they could start again.


    Zhou Yu stayed at the Wu family and then welcomed the people who came to mourn.


    All the civil and military officials of the state of Chu, as well as Lu Su, Gu Yong, Zhu Zhi and other people who had worked for Sun Quan, came to express their condolence.


    Condolence alone, there are countless people.


    As the day went by, the number of talents came down.


    Time goes by day.


    Seven days later, Sun Quan was buried.


    At the time of burial, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying also attended in person.


    This specification has been improved immediately.


    After all, Liu Xiu is the king of Chu. It''s different for Liu Xiu to attend in person.


    After Sun Quan was buried, Liu Xiu granted Sun Shao the title of Marquis of Pi county. After the edict was issued, sun Jiaju''s family led him to Pixian County, Yizhou.


    Sun Shangxiang didn''t give up, but he couldn''t help it. After all, it was Wu Guotai''s decision.


    With the departure of the sun family, the influence of the sun family and Sun Quan disappeared completely.


    Officials of the state of Wu once completely integrated into Liu Xiu''s command.


    Liu Xiu''s business began to idle down.


    However, what Liu Xiu had to do was to prepare food and armor, because he was going to fight Cao Cao.


    Liu Xiu knew that there would be a war between Chu and Wei sooner or later, and Cao Cao knew the same.


    Moreover, Cao Cao has more morale.


    Because Xun you and Zhang Liao returned to Yecheng.


    After Guo Jia died, Xun you was one of the most important counselors around Cao Cao.


    Now that Xun you came back, Cao Cao was relieved.


    As for Zhang Liao, he is also a general under Cao Cao, so Cao Cao is also very happy.State of Wei, Yecheng.


    In the palace.


    On the main hall.


    Cao Sicao is sitting on her face with a smile.


    Zhang Liao and Xun you return to Yecheng and are on their way to the palace.


    "Xuanxunyou and zhangliao met."


    Suddenly, a loud voice rang out.


    Outside the hall, Zhang Liao and Xun you had changed their clothes and walked in calmly.


    In the main hall, important officials are all here.


    After entering, Xunyou and zhangliao went to the main hall and knelt down to salute: "Xunyou (zhangliao), Minister of sin, meet the king."


    After they were captured, they were imprisoned in Xiangyang.


    Now it''s finally back.


    Cao Cao looked at the two men kneeling on the ground. He stood up, walked down from the seat and came to Xun you and Zhang Liao. He reached out to help them and said, "you''d rather die than surrender. You are loyal ministers of the state of Wei. What''s the crime? Get up and talk. "


    For Xun you and Zhang Liao, Cao Cao had great trust.


    Both of them are loyal people.


    "Thank you


    Xunyou and zhangliao give thanks and stand up.


    Cao Cao said, "you have been in Xiangyang for some time. What do you think of Chu state?"


    Xun you said, "king, the state of Chu is indeed rich and powerful. However, the state of Chu is located in the south. Even though it has Liangzhou, the war horses are also scarce, which is the biggest weakness of the state of Chu. Once Liu Xiu goes north, he will not have an advantage. "


    The war horse problem is the biggest problem of Chu.


    It is difficult to transport the horses from Liangzhou to Yizhou, which is time-consuming and laborious.


    Because the road of Yizhou is not easy.


    It is difficult to go from Liangzhou to Luoyang, and then from Luoyang to Yingchuan.


    Therefore, Chu is still short of horses.


    After listening to Xun you''s words, Cao Cao nodded and agreed with Xun you''s analysis.


    Zhang Liao said nothing.


    Suddenly, Xunyou said, "the king exchanged Sun Quan for Wei Chen. Since Sun Quan was under Liu Xiu''s command. Wei Chen believes that Sun Quan should be used. "


    As for Sun Quan, Xun you had some ideas.


    Sun Quan is extremely resentful of Liu Xiu, and using Sun Quan is a good starting point.


    Xun Yu said: "Sun Quan is indeed a good chess piece. If we make good use of it, we can cause civil strife in Liu Xiu''s rear."


    Cheng Yu said, "I agree with you."


    They all want to use Sun Quan to do things.


    Although Sun Quan had no power, he was blind in Xiangyang and didn''t know anything.


    But someone from the state of Wei was in Xiangyang.


    If the people of the state of Wei try their best to help Sun Quan, they can at least help Sun Quan to gather power.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, another soldier''s voice came from outside.


    A soldier entered the hall, knelt on one knee and said, "king, please read the 800 Li urgent letter."


    The servant took the letter and handed it to Cao Cao.


    After Cao Cao opened it and looked at it, he raised his eyebrows and showed an unexpected look in his eyes.


    The news on Xinjian is about Sun Quan.


    Cao Cao waved his hand to the soldiers and sighed: "the princes can think of using Sun Quan, and Liu Xiu also thought of it. The news just came back from Xiangyang that Sun Quan committed suicide. "


    WOW!!


    As soon as this remark came out, it suddenly caused waves.


    Sun Quan just came under Liu Xiu''s command, and he committed suicide.


    Xun you also frowned.


    When Sun Quan died, he had no chance to take advantage of him.


    Cao Cao glanced at the officials in the main hall and said, "whether Sun Quan committed suicide or not, it doesn''t matter. In a word, Sun Quan is dead. Now, it''s hard for the sun family to make waves. Liu Xiu, without any constraints, is bound to do his best to prepare. The confrontation between the state of Chu and the state of Wei is about to unfold. What we have to do now is to go all out to prepare for the war. "


    It was decided that war would start next year.


    Now that Sun Quan is dead, Liu Xiu has no constraints, and Cao Cao is quite nervous.


    After all, Liu Xiu is not a good stubble.


    When they heard the words, they all nodded.


    Their faces are also quite serious, because now that Sun Quan is dead, the state of Wei is really under great pressure.

 Chapter 816

    In August, the weather is still hot.


    The summer heat does not subside, every day is the hot sun in the sky, the sun makes people drowsy.


    During this time, Liu Xiu gradually became idle.


    In addition to the daily government affairs and the occasions where he is needed, he may go to the academy or the hospital for a walk.


    In short, when Zhang Zhao, Yi Ji, Kuai Liang and others were busy, Liu Xiu was very comfortable.


    Of course, Zhang Zhao, Kuai Liang and others also enjoy it.


    It is a good thing for a minister to have something to do.


    Palace, harem.


    Huang Yueying''s palace.


    Shi Xuan and Ma Yunlu gathered here.


    Shi Xuan sat next to Huang Yueying, looked at Huang Yueying and said, "sister, after Sun Quan''s death, Shang Xiang''s mood has never been raised, and she feels wilted. You see, why don''t we let the king take us out for a walk. "


    As one of Liu Xiu''s women, Shi Xuan is also popular with Liu Xiu.


    After all, Liu Xiu has only four women.


    Ma Yunlu has martial arts in her body, and she doesn''t want to stay in the palace all day. She says: "sister, the king is rare in Xiangyang. It''s a pity that she doesn''t go out for a walk."


    After listening, Huang Yueying was also quite excited.


    Now Liu Zhen has been thrown into the barracks, and she doesn''t see it on weekdays.


    Without Liu Zhen, Huang Yueying has no sustenance. She also wants to go out and have a look.


    Huang Yueying said, "well, when the king comes back, I''ll make suggestions to him."


    When Shi Xuan and Ma Yunlu heard the speech, they were very happy.


    It''s wonderful to be able to go out for a walk.


    ¡­¡­


    The palace.


    In the room, Liu Xiu looks up the records handed by Huang Hu.


    All the records are about Liu Zhen.


    Although Liu Zhen was not very old, he had a lot of strength in training in the military camp and gradually became mature. Some of the training programs are not even as good as adults.


    Liu Xiu is also very proud of this.


    If Liu Zhen can grow up, it is worth throwing him into the barracks.


    Outside the room, a sound of footwork came.


    The waiter came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Mr. Kuai Liang, please see you."


    "Please


    Liu Xiu agreed directly.


    Kuai Liang is the head of the ruling ministers. There are several civil servants. When he comes to see him, he will naturally report something.


    After a while, Kuai Liang entered the hall.


    Kuai Liang saluted and said, "minister Kuai Liang, meet the king."


    Liu xiudao: "sit down!"


    Kuai Liang took out a memorial from his long sleeve and said, "king, it''s August now, and the grain has been put into storage. We have reported the grain from all over the world. Please have a look. "


    The waiter took the memorial and handed it to Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu opened it and looked at it. As soon as he glanced at it, he was shocked.


    This year''s grain harvest is very good.


    Liangzhou harvest!


    Yizhou harvest!


    Jingzhou harvest!


    But compared with these places, Jiaozhou is the real harvest.


    SHIXIE was in charge of Jiaozhou. There were hospitals to treat the common people and academies to train scholars. Jiaozhou developed rapidly.


    Although Jiaozhou is sparsely populated, many places are even more miasmatic.


    However, with the development of each place, Jiaozhou reclaimed countless farmland.


    In addition, the weather in Jiaozhou is so pleasant that rice is grown twice a year, or even three times a year in some places, resulting in a sharp increase in grain production.


    This is the benefit of harmony between government and people.


    After reading it, Liu Xiu couldn''t help but get excited in his eyes.


    The destruction of Wu this year consumed a lot of grain.


    But this year''s harvest is really gratifying, which gives Liu Xiu a great surprise.


    Liu Xiu was agitated and said, "this news is worth praising. Send people to write notices and circulate them to the States. "


    "Here it is


    Kuai Liang responded.


    Then, Kuai Liang took out a memorial from his long sleeve and said, "king, there is a good harvest of grain in every county of Chu state. Among the counties, there are 58 people who have made outstanding achievements. After discussion, the officials decided to give awards. Please give me your instructions. "


    The servant put the memorial on Liu Xiu''s desk again.


    This memorial detailed the officials who needed to be rewarded and their positions, as well as their achievements.


    At the end of the memorial, the names of Kuai Liang, Yi Ji, Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu were signed.


    It''s a joint signature. It''s unanimous.


    After Liu Xiu looked at it, he didn''t doubt it, so he took the brush to annotate it.


    Liu Xiu used a brush dipped in cinnabar to write down the scarlet letter, which was different from Kuai Liang and others.


    After reviewing, Liu Xiu gave it to Kuai Liang.


    Liu Xiu said, "is there anything else?"


    Kuai Liang replied: "king, there is another thing that I don''t know whether to say or not."Liu xiudao: "but it''s OK to say that."


    Kuai Liang still hesitated.


    A moment later, Kuai Liangcai said: "after discussion, I think that the king has only one son, Mr. Zhen, and there are fewer children. Since several princesses are not pregnant, the minister and others discuss to enrich the palace for the king


    When Liu Xiu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.


    Liu Xiu naturally likes beautiful women. He is a normal man.


    But there are Huang Yueying, Shi Xuan, Ma Yunlu and sun Shangxiang in the harem. For the time being, they can satisfy Liu Xiu.


    No matter how much, he can''t bear it.


    As for the issue of children, this is not a difficult matter.


    Liu Xiu said, "zirou, I''ll take care of the affairs of the harem. If you have few children, the king will spread his branches and leaves. Don''t worry about it. "


    When Kuai Liang heard Liu Xiu''s words, he sighed: "there is only Mr. Zhen under the king''s knee. The royal blood is too thin. So, please give me your support for the royal family. "


    "I see."


    Liu Xiu always feels uncomfortable when Kuai Liang says this.


    But think about it, now Liu Zhen is older and more sensible.


    At this time, if you have any more children, you can spread your age.


    Liu Xiu said, "is there anything else?"


    Kuai Liang laughed again and said, "before I came here, I was asked to take a message."


    At this time, Kuai Liang felt embarrassed.


    He is the head of the civil service. He wants to say something embarrassing.


    Liu Xiu said, "anything else."


    At this time, Liu Xiu felt embarrassed. What''s the matter.


    Kuai Liang said: "the princes of the imperial court think that the king should take a few princesses out to have a rest and go around to have a look. I''m tired of being together for a long time, so I have a lot of children. "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu gushed out a mouthful of old blood.


    This is really


    But Liu Xiu can understand.


    As a ruler, opening branches and dispersing leaves is also a guarantee.


    There is a great difference between having children and having no children.


    There is also a great difference between having one child and having a bunch of children.


    Now Liu Zhen is seven or eight years old. He is so old, but he doesn''t have any brothers or sisters. It''s hard to say.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "I know."


    Kuai Liang also felt embarrassed and said, "king, I have something else to do. I''ll leave."


    "Well!"


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    After Kuai Liang left, Liu Xiucai was relieved.

 Chapter 817

    He just sat down and thought, but Liu Xiu agreed with Kuai Liang''s proposal.


    Over the years, Liu Xiu had little time to accompany the women around him. Now the government affairs are handled by Kuai Liang, Zhang Zhao and others, and there is no war for the time being. Liu Xiu is really free.


    At this time, you can really go out and have a look.


    "Walk around and have a look. At the same time, you can look around."


    For Liu Xiu''s identity, it is obviously impossible to play freely.


    When you go out to play, you can also pay a private visit.


    Look around.


    See what''s wrong around here.


    Only by going out can we see the problem.


    Liu Xiu soon made up his mind. He stood up and went to the back palace. In the harem, it happened that Huang Yueying, Shi Xuan and Ma Yunlu were all there, but sun Shangxiang didn''t.


    Seeing this scene, Liu Xiu frowned slightly.


    It''s been a long time.


    Sun Shangxiang still didn''t come out.


    Huang Yueying came up, stood in front of Liu Xiu, bowed to salute: "king."


    Shi Xuan and Ma Yunlu followed.


    Liu Xiu waved and said, "don''t be too polite."


    After taking a seat in the courtyard, Huang Yueying took the lead in saying: "king, I think that now the king is not too busy. It''s better to take us out for a visit. In this way, it can be regarded as a distraction for Shangxiang. "


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he began to laugh.


    It''s a real idea.


    He was just about to say that he would take some girls to play together when Huang Yueying just mentioned it.


    Huang Yueying said, "what does the king laugh at?"


    Liu xiudao: "what I want to tell you is that I plan to go out for a visit."


    "Oh, really?"


    Huang Yueying exclaimed, her face full of joy.


    Shi Xuan said, "great."


    Ma Yunlu turned his eyes and asked, "king, where are we going?"


    For going out to play things, Ma Yunlu is very heart, now have the opportunity to go out, she is very happy.


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s not decided yet, but take advantage of the time to go through most parts of the state of Chu."


    A few women were even more surprised.


    It''s not a small thing to walk all over the place, nor can it be completed in ten days and a half months.


    "That''s the general arrangement, so you can start to prepare and see what you want to bring," Liu said


    "Here it is


    Huang Yueying, Shi Xuan and Ma Yunlu responded.


    Huang Yueying said, "I''ll tell Shangxiang to prepare for it."


    Liu Xiu answered.


    In his mind, he thought of something else.


    This time with Huang Yueying and others to go out, in addition to taking a woman, naturally also have to take counselors, generals to go.


    Liu Xiu asked Huang Yueying and others to arrange, and then went to the palace study.


    When he came to his study, Liu Xiu asked people to invite Pang Tong, FA Zheng, Huang Hu and Sha Mo Ke.


    Lu Su, Zhou Yu and others were busy with political affairs.


    Only Pang Tong and FA Zheng were relatively free, and Huang Hu and Sha Moke were originally protecting Liu Xiu.


    The order was given, and four men were coming soon.


    Everyone is seated.


    Pang Tong said, "the king summoned me. What can I do for you?"


    After planning Sun Quan''s affairs, Pang Tong did nothing and quietly waited for things to calm down.


    No matter what, Pang Tong is also very relaxed.


    In addition to considering the war with Cao Cao in the coming year, we should just walk around and have a look.


    As for FA Zheng, he is dealing with government affairs.


    Liu xiudao said: "I intend to visit the States and counties of the state of Chu. I will call you here to inform you. Shiyuan and Xiaozhi went with the king, while Huzi and shamoko led their troops to the site. "


    "Here it is


    Pang Tong and Fazheng should fight each other.


    Shamoko said excitedly, "I will obey you."


    Huang Hu said: "king, Shizi is training in the flying tiger camp. What about Shizi''s training? "


    Liu Xiubai glanced at Huang Hu and said, "we''re not going to fight this time. We''re just going to make an inspection tour. What are you doing with so many people? It''s enough to take more than a hundred Flying Tiger Battalion soldiers. The rest of the soldiers will stay in Xiangyang. "


    Huang Hu smell speech, way: "the end will understand."


    Shamoko said, "king, will the last general take the soldiers with him?"


    With more than 100 people in the flying tiger camp, the Wuxi soldiers under shamoko''s command will be redundant.


    Liu Xiu said, "it''s enough for you to take more than ten Wuxi soldiers."


    "Here it is


    Shamoko should go down.


    At this time, shamoko got excited.He only took more than ten soldiers with him. Obviously, Liu Xiu took him out to play and inspect.


    We can see his position in Liu Xiu''s heart.


    For a moment, shamoko was also happy and full of expectations.


    Liu Xiu looked at the four and continued, "if you have any female dependents, you can take them with you. This tour is also a tour of mountains and rivers. "


    Pang Tong and others understood this.


    Obviously, Liu Xiu wanted to take care of his family.


    Pang Tong shook his head and said, "if I don''t have a female family member, I''ll be fine by myself."


    Today Pang Tong is also successful, but he is still alone. He is still unmarried.


    As a matter of fact, Lord pound has already urged him several times.


    It''s a pity that Pang Tong didn''t want to get married for the time being and pushed everything off.


    Fazheng is not old, but he is married. But this time, he didn''t want to be special, especially Pang Tong didn''t have any female dependents.


    Fazheng laughed and said, "king, I think it''s more free and easy to go alone."


    "Huang Hu said:" the end will also be a person


    Shamoko said: "the end will also feel like a person to go."


    These four people have unified the caliber, all are one person to go, does not carry the family member.


    Liu xiudao: "it''s OK, anyway, it''s voluntary. When you go back, if you want to bring your female dependents, you can bring them then. Huzi and laosha, go back first, select the soldiers who will accompany you, and wait for the notice. "


    "Here it is


    Huang Hu and shamoko answered and left.


    Liu Xiu looked at Pang Tong and Fazheng and said, "now, we have to discuss the route of our trip, which has to be well arranged. We should not only be distracted, but also be able to inspect all parties. "


    When Pang Tong and Fazheng heard the speech, they became serious.


    When it comes to travel routes, it really needs careful planning.


    Pang Tong said, "the king said that if you want to go on one side, do you want to go to Yizhou, Liangzhou, Luoyang, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou and Yangzhou?"


    Liu Xiu said, "I have this plan."


    At present, Chu''s political situation is stable and its officials are clear.


    Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu could get away.


    In particular, with Zhang Zhao, Kuai Liang, Zhou Yu and others dealing with court affairs, Liu Xiu was even more relaxed.


    After listening, Pang Tong thought carefully.


    It''s not a trivial matter to operate this business, because I''m afraid this trip will take a year and a half, and the time span may be longer.


    Fazheng is also thinking.


    The law is very clear about the map distribution of the states in the world.

 Chapter 818

    Fazheng thought for a moment and said, "king, I have an idea."


    "Say it


    Liu Xiu said.


    Liu Xiu also has his own ideas about travel plans.


    However, he wanted to listen to the opinions of Fazheng and Pang Tong and see what they were going to do.


    Fazheng replied, "Your Majesty, I suggest you take a boat to the East."


    "The Yangtze River is under our control. This time, we will take advantage of the Jingzhou water army and go to Yangzhou first."


    "After arriving in Wujun, Yangzhou, we will go down from Kuaiji to Yangzhou."


    "Turn around Jiaozhou, then go north from Jiaozhou to Wuling county and enter Yizhou."


    "From Yizhou all the way north, through Hanzhong, into Liangzhou."


    "Then he made a detour from Liangzhou to Luoyang, and finally arrived in Nanyang County and returned to Xiangyang."


    FA Zheng, with a smile on his face, said: "it''s a circle to walk down like this. At last, he came back to Xiangyang. But I''m afraid it''s more than a year and a half, including the length of stay. Maybe it will be longer. "


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    The plan put forward by Fazheng will indeed take a lot of time.


    But Liu Xiu has plenty of time.


    Liu Xiu looked at Pang Tong and said, "Shiyuan, what do you think?"


    Pang Tong said: "king, the plans of Wei Chen and Xiao Zhi are somewhat opposite."


    Liu xiudao: "tell me!"


    Pang Tong said: "I suggest going north to Nanyang County and going to Luoyang area through Nanyang County to inspect the garrison of Luoyang defense."


    "Then, go to Luoyang and enter Chang''an, and then go west to Liangzhou."


    "After visiting Liangzhou, turn back to the south."


    "Into Yizhou, from Hanzhong to Chengdu."


    "After visiting Chengdu, the team can go all the way East and enter Wuling County of Jingzhou."


    "In this way, across almost the whole of Yizhou."


    "The role of inspection has also been played."


    "Wuling county has a large number of wuximan, and Kuai Yue has always presided over it. After years of development, it has changed a lot. After going there, the king happened to inspect wuximan''s relationship with the Han people. "


    "After leaving Wuling County, they will go south to Jiaozhou."


    "The development of Jiaozhou in these years has been obvious to all and has been very effective."


    "After finishing Jiaozhou, he went north to Kuaiji county and went to Wu County."


    "Finally, from Wuxian all the way westward, by land back to Xiangyang."


    "So, it''s a circle."


    Pang Tong smiles and says: "this arrangement is very different from that of Xiaozhi. "


    Pang Tong has his own plans for his own arrangements.


    Liu Xiu thought about it carefully and said, "just follow Shiyuan''s plan."


    It''s a one shot fix.


    But after hearing this, Fazheng didn''t like it very much.


    After all, his plan is not bad.


    Seeing Fazheng''s expression, Liu Xiu said with a smile, "Xiaozhi, do you know why the king didn''t choose your route?"


    FA Zheng shook his head and said, "I don''t understand!"


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "in fact, the truth is very simple. Now it''s summer and the weather is hot. The more you go north, the cooler it is. "


    "The more you go south, the hotter it is."


    "Especially the mountainous forests in the south, which are humid and hot, are easy to breed miasma."


    "It''s not the best time to go south."


    "So, when we go north to Luoyang, the cooler we are."


    Liu Xiu explained.


    Such an explanation is extremely simple.


    But it is such a simple thing that Fazheng has not considered.


    Pang Tong smelled the words and gave a smile.


    He and Liu Xiu have the same consideration.


    Considering the time, going north is the best choice.


    As soon as the law was established, he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I understand."


    Liu Xiu said, "go down and get ready."


    "Here it is


    Fazheng and Pang Tong left the hall.


    Liu Xiu sat in the hall, thinking about things.


    Since we are going to leave Xiangyang, we have to make arrangements for Xiangyang. Although Kuai Liang, Zhang Zhao, Jia Xu and others deal with government affairs, Liu Xiu still has to make arrangements to deal with emergencies.


    Liu Xiu said, "come and call Deng Zhan into the palace."


    The soldiers have to go down immediately.


    Not long, about half an hour, Deng Zhan entered the hall.


    Deng Zhan saluted and said, "at the end of the day, I''ll see you."


    In front of Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan is rather formal, because he messed things up, Deng Zhan is very sorry. Especially after the release of Xun you and Zhang Liao, Sun Quan, who returned home, committed suicide, which made Liu Xiu lose a lot instead of earning anything.


    In such a situation, Deng Zhan thinks he is a failure.Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "sit down!"


    Deng Zhan sat down in accordance with his words, with a chest and a back. He was upright and serious.


    Liu xiudao: "I''m here to arrange something for you."


    Deng Zhan said, "please give me your orders."


    As long as it is Liu Xiu''s order, Deng Zhan must go all out.


    The royal guards serve Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said: "I am going to visit all parts of the country and leave Xiangyang. You will stay in Xiangyang and be responsible for monitoring everything and reporting information to the king at any time


    "Here it is


    Deng Zhan''s eyes sparkled as he answered.


    Liu Xiu''s trust in him can be seen from the fact that he has entrusted such a major matter to him.


    Liu Xiu continued: "in addition, during this period, we should also pay close attention to the infiltration of the state of Wei


    Today, only Liu Xiu and Cao Cao are left in the world.


    Next, it''s time to compete.


    Who has the most cards, who has the weakness of the other side, can take the lead.


    Deng Zhandao said: "don''t worry, your majesty. You will live up to your mission."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "well, it''s clear. You can do it. "


    "I''ll leave at the end of the day!"


    Deng Zhan left excitedly.


    He was entrusted with a heavy task by Liu Xiu, and his heart was very excited.


    Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan''s back, with a smile on his face. With Deng Zhan staying in Xiangyang, the situation in the court can be continuously introduced into Liu Xiu''s ears. Although Liu Xiu is playing outside, he can also control the government.


    Looking back, Liu Xiu thought carefully.


    A moment later, Liu Xiu wrote another Edict and sealed it.


    Liu Xiu said, "come on, call Jia Xu."


    The soldiers went to inform me.


    This time, it didn''t take long. In less than a quarter of an hour, Jia Xu came to the main hall.


    Jia Xu saluted and said, "old minister Jia Xu, meet the king."


    Now, Jia Xu is old, but he is still Liu Xiu''s most important person with good spirit, strong body and quick mind.


    Liu Xiu said, "you suggested that we should go around and relax, and we agreed. But when I leave, I have something for you. Here is the imperial edict for you. It must not be used until it is absolutely necessary. "


    The servant took the imperial edict and handed it to Jia Xu.


    Jia Xu opened a look, eyebrow a pick, show surprised look.


    The contents of the edict were not complicated, even simple. It only said that Jia Xu was fully responsible for the deployment of troops in case of war in Chu.


    It can be said that Liu Xiu handed over military power to Jia Xu.


    This is great trust.


    Jia Xu was just a man who surrendered to Liu Xiu in the middle of the way, but he was very grateful for Liu Xiu''s trust. He solemnly said, "please rest assured, I will live up to your great expectations."


    Liu xiudao: "I believe Mr. Wang."


    They talked about other official affairs, and Jia Xu left.

 Chapter 819

    A few days passed and everything was ready.


    Liu Xiu left Xiangyang with Huang Yueying, sun Shangxiang, Ma Yunlu and Shi Xuan and headed north.


    At the same time, Pang Tong and Fazheng followed.


    However, Huang Hu led more than a hundred cavalry on their way together, which was magnificent and powerful.


    Such a situation is too high-profile.


    All the officials along the road welcomed Liu Xiu and his party with great fanfare for fear that they might neglect him. Because of the official contact, Liu Xiu, Huang Yueying and others are tired of coping and have no time to play.


    When the team arrived in Chaoyang County, it stopped for a rest.


    In the tent.


    Liu Xiu met Chaoyang County, who came to meet him. After the magistrate left, Pang Tong came in.


    Pang Tong said, "Your Majesty, you can''t go on like this."


    Liu Xiu also understood Pang Tong''s meaning.


    On the way from Xiangyang to the north, all the county officials came to meet him, hoping to show all the best in front of Liu Xiu.


    With such a high profile, it is difficult for Liu Xiu and his party to relax and visit, nor to achieve the effect of inspection.


    Because everything is fake.


    Liu xiudao: "Shiyuan, what do you think?"


    Pang Tong said: "in today''s situation, according to the minister, it''s better to let General Huang Hu lead the army behind, and the soldiers under General Huang Hu''s command had better act as caravans. Since it''s a caravan escorting goods, it''s normal to have more than 100 people. "


    "The line is in the back, and the king and we are in the front."


    "There is a distance of ten or twenty miles between the two sides."


    "In this way, it can not only ensure the safety of the king, but also make the king and the princesses enjoy themselves."


    Pang Tong put forward the method of revision.


    In today''s situation, this is the most appropriate way.


    With Deng County, Chaoyang County and other county magistrate meeting Liu Xiu, the news soon spread.


    Everyone knows that Liu Xiu is on a tour.


    Under such circumstances, if Liu Xiu did not hide his identity, his trip would be in vain.


    Liu Xiu said: "according to the arrangement you said, you go to tell Hu Zi that he will leave ten soldiers with him. The rest of the soldiers will be held back and follow us as caravans."


    Pang Tong nodded and went down to arrange.


    After a day''s rest, the group continued on their way.


    At this time, Liu Xiu and others were light and simple, with only a dozen people.


    Liu Xiu and other women, together with Huang Hu, shamoko and ten soldiers, while the rest of the soldiers were arranged by Huang Hu to dress up as caravans.


    In this way, travel is easy.


    They walked around to have a look, enjoying the scenery, and also looking at the situation all over the country.


    Along the way, sun Shangxiang''s character gradually recovered, with a smile on his face. He was no longer as dull as before, and gradually came out of the grief of Sun Quan''s death.


    This time, no one knows the identity of Liu Xiu and his party.


    After staying in Xinye for a day, the group headed for WAN county.


    Wan county is the seat of Nanyang County.


    Compared with Xinye, Wan county is more prosperous.


    Under the jurisdiction of Chu, Nanyang County was no longer the scene of frequent wars. The political situation is stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and Nanyang County develops rapidly.


    Especially with the construction of hospitals and academies, Wan county has changed a lot.


    The carriage stopped at the gate of the city, and Liu Xiu and his party arrived.


    It''s just that there are so many people in Wan County today.


    People come and go, almost in a stream.


    When Liu Xiu saw this scene, he was also quite curious. What happened in Wan county? It was so lively.


    After some inquiry, I learned that today is the time to enroll scholars in lumen college.


    As long as you pass the examination of lumen college, you can enter lumen college.


    For this, Liu Xiu is also quite curious.


    It''s natural to have a look at such a grand occasion.


    Liu Xiu and his party entered the city and wanted to find an inn to live in. However, Lu men academy recruited scholars, which led to the gathering of countless scholars in Wan county. The inn had been empty for a long time.


    Liu Xiu only got the official post house.


    The official post house is not for ordinary people to live in, nor for ordinary people.


    After Pang Tong made his identity clear, he lived in the name of Pang Tong.


    Liu Xiu asked Huang Yueying and sun Shangxiang''s daughters to go for a visit. He also asked shamoko to accompany them to protect them. Liu Xiu took Pang Tong and Fazheng to lumen Academy.


    The lumen Academy in Wan county is not in the center of the county, but in the southwest corner of the county.


    This area is very quiet because it is open and full of bamboo forests.


    Today, however, the outside of the academy is overcrowded.


    Countless people gathered here, waiting to enter the lumen academy to participate in the assessment.


    In a word, the assessment of lumen Academy in Wan county is just a selection, so it just announced the examination today, but there is no registration and so on.Liu Xiu arrived with a group of people standing in the crowd.


    At this moment, someone came to Liu Xiu.


    Huang Hu was on the alert immediately, but Liu Xiu shook his head and motioned Huang Hu not to act rashly.


    "Does this young master want to enter lumen academy?"


    In his early forties, the visitor bent his back slightly and looked old, but the look on his face was obscene. With a smile on his face, he said, "young man, you see, there are so many people outside the lumen Academy. I''m afraid it''s very difficult for you to stand out."


    "It''s not nice of a villain to say something."


    "If you are outstanding in talent and learning, you don''t have to take part in such a selection examination."


    "Since you are here, you can''t come back with regret."


    "Right?"


    Middle aged people laugh, but they are tired and lazy.


    Liu Xiu squinted and said, "you have some thoughts."


    Liu Xiu did not deny the middle-aged people''s words. He also wanted to touch the situation of lumen Academy.


    The middle-aged man continued: "if you want to enter safely, others can''t help you. But villains can help you stand out. "


    "Oh, why?"


    Liu Xiu asked curiously.


    The middle-aged man leaned forward again, lowered his voice and said, "because the villain knows the test questions."


    Liu Xiumei picked it up and said, "do you think I''m a three-year-old? Lumen academy is so huge that it was founded by pound, a teacher of the king of Chu. How can the examination questions of lumen academy be leaked? "


    The middle-aged man laughed and said, "young man, how do you know if you don''t try? I can tell you for sure that this is true. Ten thousand money, you only need to give ten thousand money to the villain, I will give you the examination questions and answers. Ten thousand is just a small sum for you. What do you think? If you succeed in entering the lumen academy and come back home, your elders will have a glorious face. "


    Liu Xiu nodded, a look of approval.


    The middle-aged humanitarians said, "do you agree? It''s about an hour before the exam. I have time to prepare the questions. "


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu agreed directly.


    He also wants to find out what''s going on.


    The problem of the lumen Academy in Wan county is missing. If this matter spreads to other lumen academies, the situation will be a little complicated.


    As soon as Liu Xiu waved, Pang Tong handed over the money.


    The middle-aged man said with a smile, "you won''t regret it."


    With a smile, he took out a problem book from his clothes and handed it to Liu Xiu. He said, "young master, please find a quiet place and recite it. When you take an exam, you can show your style. "


    "Goodbye!"


    The middle-aged left directly.


    Liu Xiu as like as two peas, turned to the original book, and then looked at Pang Tong and smiled. "You can go to the exam and see if the examination is similar to the one you bought."


    "Good!"


    Pang Tong laughed and responded directly.


    He naturally wants to participate in such an interesting thing.


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Hu again and said, "tiger son, send two people to stare at the middle-aged man who just sold the title, follow the vine, and grind out the person behind."


    "Here it is


    Huang Hu responded and arranged directly.

 Chapter 820

    As time goes by, it''s time to enter the examination room.


    Pang Tong had already memorized the questions and answers, so he entered the examination room easily.


    Liu Xiu and his party went back to the post house to have a rest.


    After returning, Huang Yueying and sun Shangxiang''s daughters are still shopping and have not come back yet.


    Fazheng and Liu Xiu sit opposite each other.


    FA Zhengdao said, "king, if you find that there is something against the law and discipline in the lumen Academy in Wan County, how should you deal with it?"


    It''s not a trivial matter when it comes to the lumen Academy.


    Such a thing can be said to be quite important.


    Once it is not handled properly, the situation of the whole lumen academy will be affected.


    As the only official Academy of Chu, the reputation of lumen academy is very important, even can not be damaged.


    Liu Xiu said, "Xiaozhi, what do you think should be done?"


    FA Zhengdao said: "Wan county is like this. I''m afraid there are problems in other counties. I suggest that we kill the chickens and frighten the monkeys and take this opportunity to beat the people in other counties. "


    After Liu Xiu listened, he shook his head.


    It is not Liu Xiu''s choice to expand the scale of the treatment.


    This kind of treatment will have a great impact on the lumen Academy.


    Once the people of the state of Wei got the news, they would operate it again, which would probably have an impact on the whole lumen Academy.


    A large number of officials came out of lumen Academy.


    When the lumen academy is affected, officials will be humiliated and distrusted.


    A series of influences are too great.


    Liu Xiu said: "after the investigation, we can think about it."


    "Here it is


    Fazheng nodded.


    They were waiting in the room for a moment. Half an hour later, Pang Tong came back. A tiny bit as like as two peas of


    , who was seated, the king looked at the same question. "The king''s examination is exactly the same as it was bought," he said.


    Liu Xiu clenched his fist, and his face was grim.


    Sure enough, lumen academy missed the title.


    Liu Xiu said: "wait, now wait for Huang Hu''s people to send back the news."


    Several people nodded.


    Now, with nothing clear, we have to wait.


    About an hour later, Huang Hu came back.


    Huang Hu strides in and hugs his fist: "Your Majesty, the people who sell examination questions during the day have been arrested. Our people have been tracking him for a long time, but he finally found out that he wanted to escape, so he directly arrested him and interrogated him again. "


    Liu Xiu sighed.


    Huang Hu brought soldiers.


    The soldiers are not as good as the royal guards when they spy on the news.


    If the case is handled by the royal guards under Deng Zhan''s command, it will be enough to make things beautiful.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "bring it in."


    "Here it is


    Yellow tiger should be next, turn round to go down to arrange.


    After a while, the middle-aged man who sold examination questions came in.


    As soon as he saw Liu Xiu, his face showed a touch of surprise. Immediately, he had a preconceived idea that the other party thought there was something wrong with the question. He quickly explained: "childe, the question is absolutely OK. You should have passed the exam, right?"


    At this time, middle-aged people have not yet figured out the situation.


    He instinctively thought there was something wrong with the test.


    Huang Hu stood aside, heard the middle-aged man''s words, hummed, and scolded: "when you see the king of Chu, you still don''t kneel down. Tell me honestly, how did you get the questions? "


    King of Chu?


    The middle-aged people were a little dazed.


    Is the man in front of you the king of Chu?


    The middle-aged man was stunned, but he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to the king of Chu: "the villain has eyes and doesn''t know Mount Tai. Please forgive the king of Chu, please forgive the king of Chu."


    Liu Xiu stared at the middle-aged man and asked, "what''s your name?"


    Middle aged Humanitarianism: "the fifth in the small family, called Wang Wu!"


    In front of Liu Xiu, Wang Wu''s eyes were rolling.


    The man in front of him calls himself the king of Chu.


    However, he never met the king of Chu.


    In particular, I have seen too many swindlers, some of them pretending to be officials, some of them pretending to be rich, and it''s not uncommon to meet one who pretends to be the king of Chu.


    It''s just that now he''s caught, he''s under the eaves, and he has to bow his head.


    I''ll save my life first, and then I''ll talk about other things.


    Liu Xiu looked at Wang Wu''s expression and said with a smile, "you must still have doubts in your heart. Is it true, if it''s fake, right? "


    Wang Wu''s heart trembled, and he said: "I dare not, I dare not think so."


    Liu xiudao: "don''t worry. I will make you believe it. Do you know the prefect of Nanyang County, or have you ever seen him? "


    Wang Wu zhengse way: "have not seen, do not know."


    Liu Xiu asked, "where is the magistrate of Wan county?"


    Wang Wu replied, "I don''t know him, I haven''t seen him."In front of Liu Xiu, Wang Wu did not dare to say who he knew. If he was involved, he would be in trouble.


    In particular, he was not sure if this one was real?


    It''s very loud.


    The sheriff and the magistrate came out.


    Wang Wu bowed his head and carefully dealt with the problem.


    "Tiger!"


    Liu Xiu ordered.


    "Yes


    Huang Hu answers with a fist.


    Liu Xiu said: "you go to the government and the county, and invite the prefect and the magistrate of Nanyang County."


    "Here it is


    Huang Hu Shouquan, turned and left.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on Wang Wu and said, "next, you just need to look. You wait in the side hall to see if the people coming are sheriff and magistrate. When you have confirmed my identity, you will consider how to account for it. "


    "Take it down!"


    Liu xiuphen said.


    Immediately, the soldiers came in and escorted Wang Wu back.


    At this time, Wang Wu''s heart sank.


    When Liu Xiu was so confident, he suddenly felt that the person in front of him was really the king of Chu. In particular, Liu Xiu''s manners, words and deeds are magnanimous, and he has a kind of imposing dignity.


    Wang Wu was taken to the side hall, his mouth was blocked, but through the gap, he could see the situation of the Posthouse living room.


    Time goes by.


    Less than half an hour later, the Sheriff of Nanyang County and the magistrate of Wan county came.


    The Sheriff of Nanyang County was named sun Qing, who was the Sheriff of Wei Yan after he left office.


    Previously, Wei Yan had been the prefect.


    But because Wei Yan focused on the military, and Wei Yan also offered not to worry, so he reappointed the personnel of Nanyang Prefecture.


    The magistrate of Wan county was named Deng Qiong, who came from Nanyang County.


    As soon as they entered the post house, they immediately saluted.


    Both sun Qing and Deng Qiong knew that Liu Xiu had entered Nanyang County. But Liu Xiu no longer went with the accompanying army, so they didn''t know where Liu Xiu was, so they couldn''t arrange to meet him.


    Now Huang Hu comes to the door, and they come to meet him.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "sit down."


    "Thank you, king."


    Sun Qing and Deng Qiong said thanks, and then sat down respectfully.


    At this time, Wang Wu''s eyes widened.


    Wang Wu knew sun Qing and Deng Qiong, and even had some relations with them. He was a distant relative of Deng Qiong.


    Because he played Deng Qiong''s signboard, he got the examination questions.


    "Gudong!"


    Wang Wu swallowed his saliva.


    At this time, Wang Wu''s heart began to fear.


    Because his captors are the king of Chu.


    Wang five eye beads dribble around, thinking about how to deal with and explain next.

 Chapter 821

    Liu Xiu summoned sun Qing and Deng Qiong. In Liu Xiu''s opinion, it was a very simple thing.


    For sun Qing and Deng Qiong, it was a matter of great honor.


    When Liu Xiu asked, they could answer ten questions.


    After a brief account of the situation, Liu Xiu took a cup and took a sip of tea.


    Seeing this, sun Qing and Deng Qiong took the initiative to leave.


    Serve tea to see off the guests!


    They are very clear about this.


    In particular, they showed their faces in front of Liu Xiu, which is enough.


    Liu Xiu said, "bring Wang Wu out."


    A moment later, Wang Wu came to the room.


    At the moment, Wang Wu is already in a state of anxiety.


    "Plop!"


    Wang Wu knelt down directly on the ground with a frightened look on his face. He kowtowed and said, "little man, I''ll see you."


    With the support of sun Qing and Deng Qiong, Liu Xiu''s identity is undoubtedly confirmed.


    Liu Xiu said, "Wang Wu, do you have anything else to say now? It''s time to be honest. What''s the matter with regard to the sale of examination questions in lumen academy. Speak up, I can open my eyes to you. Otherwise, you will die. "


    Lumen academy is Liu Xiu''s trump card.


    The taxis of lumen academy are all the best.


    Once you graduate, you enter the officialdom.


    This kind of treatment, such excellent conditions, is difficult for ordinary people to enjoy.


    If Liu Xiu''s taxis all went wrong, the state of Chu would be rotten.


    Therefore, Liu Xiu did not allow anything to happen in lumen Academy.


    However, it is related to the lumen academy, so we must be cautious and have to deal with it carefully.


    Wang Wudao: "king, villains account, villains account for all."


    After knowing Liu Xiu''s identity, Wang Wu thought about how to solve the immediate problems. He thinks and thinks, but there is no way to achieve both.


    Now, the only way to do that is to confess.


    In front of Liu Xiu, he had no chance to escape.


    Liu Xiu heard Wang Wu''s words and said, "Shi Yuan, I''ll leave it to you to deal with the people who are involved in this matter. All the staff should be taken down. "


    "Here it is


    Pang Tong heard the speech and took over the matter directly.


    Liu Xiu left, and Pang Tong tried the matter quickly.


    Wang Wu didn''t dare to hide it, so the leakage of the title of lumen Academy in Wan county was soon sorted out.


    After Pang Tong knew everything, he sent Huang Hu to send orders to the accompanying soldiers of Feihu camp, and sent them to send troops to directly capture the personnel involved in lumen Academy in Wan county.


    All the staff were pulled down.


    Even sun Qing and Deng Qiong were involved and directly arrested.


    All the people were detained, and Pang Tong went to report to Liu Xiu.


    Pang Tong looked at Liu Xiu and said, "king, everyone involved in the case has been arrested. Deng Qiong and sun Qing were involved, but they were not the main culprits. The principal criminal involved is the dean of lumen college in Wan county. He is the real person. And the rest, they''re all involved in collaboration. "


    Liu xiudao said: "Sun Qing and Deng Qiong dismissed directly. The dean of lumen Academy in Wan county was expelled from the state of Chu and never employed. The rest shall be removed from office. "


    "Here it is


    Pang Tong should go down.


    Comparatively speaking, such punishment is light.


    Pang Tong opened his mouth, but closed it again.


    Liu Xiu said, "only say what you have."


    Pang Tong said: "Your Majesty, I think things will go against the extreme. It is not a good thing that the lumen academy is the only one. Now Chu state is stable, and officials are not as badly in need as before. At this time, we can make some adjustments. "


    Liu xiudao: "how do you plan to adjust?"


    Liu Xiu had not considered the adjustment of lumen academy before.


    After all, it was Lord pound who dealt with the lumen Academy.


    Pang Tong shook his head and said, "I don''t have a suitable strategy for the moment. It takes time to think about it."


    "I see!"


    Liu Xiu nodded and kept it in mind.


    Immediately, Liu xiudao said, "the matter of lumen Academy in Wan County, you should immediately send a letter to the teacher and ask him to deal with it. At the same time, it''s time to clean up the scum of lumen Academy. "


    "Here it is


    Pang Tong responded directly.


    After Pang Tong retired, he went to prepare letters.


    Liu Xiu sat alone in his study, thinking about the affairs of lumen Academy.


    When he happened to meet with lumen academy, Liu Xiu suddenly realized that the lumen academy he supported was out of control, which Liu Xiu could not accept.


    Thinking about the affairs of lumen academy, I don''t realize that time has passed.


    In the evening, Huang Yueying, sun Shangxiang, Shi Xuan and Ma Yunlu came back.


    As the saying goes, three women make a play.


    The four women went shopping together and bought lots of things.


    Liu Xiu looked at the items he had bought back and could only smile bitterly. Then he took all the items with him.The next morning, the party was ready to continue on their way.


    The team left Wan County, but Nanyang County has already changed a lot because of the involvement of Deng Qiong and sun Qing.


    However, this is not Liu Xiu''s concern.


    When Liu Xiu goes out, one is to play and the other is to inspect.


    After finding the problem and dealing with it, it is Zhang Zhao, Kuai Liang and others.


    "Wheel! The wheels


    The carriage turned and moved forward slowly.


    The team continued to go north towards Luoyang.


    Once you leave Nanyang County, the next stop is Luoyang.


    As the former capital of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang was burned by Dong Zhuo even after the war, but such a strategic place is a must.


    Now, the atmosphere in the carriage is relaxed.


    Huang Hu rode with him and said, "king, it''s really boring. If there are two groups of bandits, it''s better to let the last general fight. "


    Liu Xiu lifted the curtain of the carriage door and said, "tiger, you crow mouth, don''t talk if you have nothing to do. No one treats you as a mute."


    "It''s just that tigers are boring," shamoko said


    Huang Hu hummed twice and held his head high.


    He is a fierce general on the battlefield and used to the life of the military camp. Now he is not used to traveling with others.


    "Da! "Da!"


    Suddenly, the sound of horse''s hooves came from behind.


    A cavalry rushed to Liu Xiu and his party.


    "Newspaper!"


    There was a shout, and suddenly it rang out.


    "Stop!"


    Huang Hu heard the voice on the official road behind him and ordered the team to stop.


    The soldiers surrounded Liu Xiu''s carriage, and Liu Xiu was protected by shamoko himself to ensure Liu Xiu''s safety at any time.


    Huang Hu drove his horse back, came to the cavalry and said, "what''s the matter?"


    Cavalry report: "General Huang, Kuai Liang has an urgent message for your majesty. Please deal with it immediately."


    With these words, the cavalry took out a letter from his arms.


    After Huang Hu took it, he checked the seal of the letter. Then he brought it to Liu Xiu and reported, "king, it''s an urgent delivery from Kuai Liang."


    Liu Xiu took it and took it apart.


    After reading, Liu Xiu''s face became serious, and his eyes were full of dignified look.


    At the critical moment, something happened in Yangzhou.


    And it''s a natural disaster.


    Especially this time, the natural disaster came too suddenly and too quickly.

 Chapter 822

    Seeing Liu Xiu''s look, Huang Hu knew there must be something wrong and immediately asked, "king, what''s the matter?"


    Liu xiudao: "Herald, turn around and return to Xiangyang."


    "Ah


    Huang Hu exclaimed, his face full of amazement.


    Return to Xiangyang immediately?


    They want to inspect the whole Chu region.


    This just went to Nanyang County, even Jingzhou did not go out, is about to return.


    Liu Xiu said: "Yangzhou has been hit by floods once in a hundred years and torrential rains day after night, which have affected countless people. The incident happened suddenly and had to be dealt with. "


    After hearing this, Huang Hu looked solemn.


    Even though he was only a general in the army, he knew the consequences of this incident.


    When Fazheng and Pang Tong heard this, they also looked solemn.


    The current situation is quite serious. We must rush back immediately.


    Turn the team around and we''ll be back.


    After a long walk, Liu Xiu ordered Huang Hu to stop.


    It''s too slow to drive by coach.


    According to the current speed to go back, I don''t know the monkey can return to Xiangyang.


    When I came out, I was on my way with a playful attitude, so I didn''t worry, and I didn''t feel that time had passed, so I had already arrived in Nanyang County. But now I''m in a hurry to go back, but I want to go back to Xiangyang in a flash.


    Liu Xiu asked Huang Hu to leave a team of soldiers, escorted Huang Yueying''s four daughters back to Xiangyang by Sha Moke, and then dressed lightly.


    He only took shamoko, Huanghu, Fazheng, pangtong and others to drive on.


    Along the way, a few people had little rest.


    Back in Xiangyang, it was late September.


    As soon as Liu Xiu returned to the palace, he summoned Kuai Liang, Zhang Zhao and others.


    Looking at the crowd, Liu xiudao said, "tell me, what''s the situation like now?"


    Kuai Liang, as the head of the civil service, said solemnly: "report to the king, the coastal areas of Wujun and Kuaiji counties in Yangzhou have been hit by the storm. According to the news, it is said that the real dragon absorbed water. It''s as if there are dragons absorbing water in the sky, and there are two dragons absorbing water in the air. "


    When it comes to this, people''s faces are serious.


    It''s not a good thing that a dragon absorbs water.


    Where we passed, dark clouds gathered and floods continued.


    Kuai Liang said: "king, the Confucian scholars have suggested that this is the result of years of war. Please postpone the war and offer sacrifices to heaven and earth."


    After listening to this, Liu Xiu sneered twice.


    You don''t know what a dragon is?


    But Liu Xiu knew.


    It''s just a tornado. It''s a natural phenomenon.


    Liu Xiu doesn''t believe in the theory that ghosts and gods are involved.


    The only consideration is the relief of the people.


    Liu xiudao: "the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth will be considered later. What we need to do now is to allocate food for disaster relief, pacify the people and stabilize the situation. This is the top priority. "


    Kuai Liang said: "we are already doing it. In order to save time, all the grain and materials are transported by water, moving eastward along the Yangtze River and unloading grain in Wujun county to appease the people."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "go all out."


    "Here it is


    They all nodded and answered.


    Liu xiudao said: "Wu County and Kuaiji county have suffered severe disasters. I intend to go to Wu county to have a look and appease the people."


    "No, your majesty."


    Kuai Liang didn''t even think about it, but he denied it directly.


    Kuai Liang said: "king, today''s Wujun and Kuaiji are still in danger. The flood continues. If you encounter problems, the impact will be very big. Therefore, the old minister suggested that the king should remain in the middle of Xiangyang to make better arrangements.


    Kuai Liang disagreed with Liu Xiu''s going to the front line.


    It''s too dangerous.


    In the face of natural disasters, manpower is too weak.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, Deng Zhan''s voice came from outside the hall.


    Liu Xiu said, "come in!"


    Deng Zhan enters the hall and salutes Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said, "what''s the matter?"


    Deng Zhan replied, "Your Majesty, I just received the news from Yangzhou. In many places where the flood spread in Yangzhou, rumors began to spread that the flood in Yangzhou was caused by the king''s army, which angered the Dragon Lord. "


    "What''s more, he slandered the king and intended to usurp the Han Dynasty, so heaven would bring disaster."


    "King, the royal guards have arrested a group of people."


    "These people come from the north."


    Deng Zhan said solemnly: "once Yangzhou was hit by the flood, Cao Cao also sent someone to help. Now the people in Yangzhou are boiling with enthusiasm. It''s all a mess. "


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu had a cold look in his eyes.


    At this time, Cao Cao even stepped in.Liu Xiu looked at Kuai Liang and said, "Kuai Qing, the situation in Yangzhou is boiling. After incitement, I''m afraid there will be chaos. "


    "At this time, if I don''t go, the consequences will be more serious."


    "And the more repressive it is, the worse the situation is."


    "As the king of the state of Chu, only by going to Yangzhou can we completely stabilize people''s hearts."


    Liu Xiu once again put forward that Kuai Liang had nothing to say.


    Only when Liu Xiu goes can the situation be stabilized.


    Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and said, "Deng Zhan, let the royal guards spread the message in Yangzhou immediately. I will personally lead the grain to Yangzhou to relieve the disaster and pacify the people."


    "Here it is


    Deng Zhan left in a hurry.


    Liu Xiu also discussed with Kuai Liang, Jia Xu and others, and determined the next disaster relief policy, so that many talents would retire.


    Jia Xu stayed and gave Liu Xiu the imperial edict he had given him before.


    Then Jia Yu left.


    Liu Xiu accepted the imperial edict, and after a short time, he left the palace and went straight to the lumen Academy. Although we are anxious to go to Yangzhou for disaster relief, we need to deal with the affairs of lumen Academy.


    When Liu Xiu arrived, pound was also in his study.


    Seeing Liu Xiu, Pang Degong said, "my Lord, I already know about lumen Academy in Wan county. I have already arranged for people to check the lumen Academy in each county and county, and seriously rectify it. "


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    There is something wrong with lumen academy, and Lord pound will certainly rectify it.


    It''s just like this no matter how we rectify it.


    Treat the symptoms but not the root cause.


    Liu Xiu said, "teacher, I have some ideas about the Academy."


    "What do you think?"


    Liu Xiu replied: "I want to split the lumen Academy. The Academy where the county level government is located is still the same. However, all the academies at the county level are managed by each county. In addition, the county government is allowed to set up academies. "


    Pound was a little surprised.


    Once the local government is allowed to set up academies, the dominant situation of lumen academy will change little by little.


    In particular, lumen academy is only responsible for the county level, which has been virtually weakened.


    Liu Xiu said: "further on, the Academy will be managed separately. At the county level, it should be managed by the county and the States, rather than by the lumen Academy in Xiangyang. "


    After listening, pound thought carefully.


    After thinking about Liu Xiu''s proposal, he understood it.


    This is to weaken the power of lumen Academy.


    However, each county was allowed to set up academies, and more academies could be set up, so that more taxis could read and read.


    Mr. pound nodded and said, "yes, the king''s arrangement is."


    Pound had no objection to Liu Xiu''s arrangement.


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "thank you for your understanding. It''s really shocking. If it goes on like this, lumen academy will be destroyed. "


    Pound nodded.


    When Liu Xiu had dealt with the matter properly, he left.


    After returning to the palace, Liu Xiu directly ordered the counties to set up academies.


    This order is in the name of trial implementation.


    Try it first.


    Liu Xiu can''t predict what will happen in the end, so he tries to implement it first.


    When all the affairs of the Academy were arranged properly, Liu Xiu did not delay any more. He took Huang Hu, FA Zheng, Pang Tong, and an army to go eastward with the relief food.

 Chapter 823

    Wu County, Lou county.


    Lou county is located in the easternmost and east of Wu County.


    It''s near the sea.


    Once Lou County, because it was close to the sea, could make a living by basking in salt, and could also salvage fish from the sea.


    It can be said that Lou county is quite rich.


    Lou county people, every family is rich, do not worry about food and clothing.


    However, a heavy rain came down.


    Strong wind, heavy rain washed, many seem to collapse, the ground has been soaked in rain.


    In the silted water, there are many big trees lying on the ground.


    Countless people''s families have been destroyed, which is extremely miserable.


    The common people were affected, even crying for help. What''s more, the bodies of many dead people were floating in the water.


    If the people are like this, the county government is no better.


    The county officials of Lou county were also irrigated by rain, and countless people were detained in the city.


    Countless people were affected.


    At this time, the rain continued to fall.


    In the county government, although there was a lot of water, stones had already been piled up, and county magistrate Lou Xiao worked directly in it.


    As an official of the state of Chu, Lou Xiao came out of lumen Academy.


    He graduated from the Academy with an ambition to show his talents.


    It''s just that he met such a thing just after he took office.


    In the face of difficulties, Lou Xiao was not discouraged.


    During this period, Lou Xiao constantly sent people to transport grain to nearby high and low storage, and arranged for soldiers to go to the city to search for people who had not yet evacuated.


    Since the storm continued, Lou Xiao has not had a good sleep.


    Just tired, just squint for a while.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier waded in.


    The soldier, dressed in coir raincoat and hat, went into the room full of water and said, "magistrate, there is still a family in the city that won''t move. It''s hard to deal with the old man. "


    Lou Xiao raised his head and said, "just carry it away, directly carry it away!"


    For those who do not want to move, Lou Xiao is compulsory.


    In today''s situation, there is no room for delay.


    To stay in the city is to wait for death.


    Especially after such a long period of torrential rain, there is no sign of weakening at all. There is no hope at all.


    The soldier shook his head and said, "the other party is a father-in-law in his 70s. He still has a dagger in his hand. Once we get close, the old man will commit suicide. It''s hard to deal with. "


    After hearing this, Lou Xiao couldn''t help sighing: "let''s go, take my official to have a look."


    He put away his letters and put them close to his body.


    Now it''s raining hard. If you leave the letter in your room, it may get wet. Put it close to the body, then put on the coir raincoat and wear the hat to ensure that the letter is not wet.


    Lou Xiao put on a coir raincoat and a hat, and left with the soldiers.


    After leaving the county office, he walked to the northwest of the county for nearly two quarters of an hour.


    This is the higher place in louxiao.


    Although such a place has not been attacked by heavy rain for the time being, it will rain continuously according to the current situation, which is sooner or later.


    In this area, there are many houses.


    But almost everyone has moved away and moved to the highlands.


    However, another house did not move.


    The man left behind was an old man in his 70s.


    He stood under the eaves, eyes wide open, holding a dagger in his hand, and roared: "I said that even if I die, I will die here. This is the ancestral hall of my yuan family. I won''t leave. I want to guard here. Get out of here, all of you. My life and death have nothing to do with you. "


    The old man looked at the soldiers outside the house, very angry.


    The dagger in his hand was also waving from time to time.


    Lou Xiao heard the old man''s words. He came out of the low-lying land and came to Yuan''s house. Although it''s raining here, it''s not affected for the time being and hasn''t been flooded by the heavy rain.


    Lou Xiao came to the door of the mansion and said with a smile, "I''m Lou Xiao, the magistrate of Lou county. My father-in-law is very polite."


    Seeing Lou Xiao, the old man snorted, but his attitude was a little gentle.


    After all, it was the county magistrate who came.


    The old man held his head high and said stubbornly, "magistrate Lou, you can go. I won''t move. I''m the only one left at home. I''m going to stay here. "


    Lou Xiao was not impatient and said, "my father-in-law, I didn''t come here to make you move. I''m here to find out about you. "


    As soon as the words came out, the father-in-law gave a long sigh of relief.


    The tense look on his face eased slightly.


    To Lou Xiao''s wariness, also slightly relaxed, no longer like just so impatient.


    Lou Xiao took another two steps forward. He said with a smile, "my father-in-law just said that there is no one at home. You are the only one left. What''s going on? What about the father-in-law''s children and grandchildren? "The old man said, "they are all in Wu County."


    Lou Xiao said, "since all the children and grandchildren are in Wu County, why don''t you go to Wu County and accompany your family?"


    The old man snorted and said, "don''t you know that this is the ancestral hall of my yuan family? At any time, there is no shortage of people to watch. The ancestral temple is here, and the yuan family is there. If all the ancestral halls of the yuan family are lost, will the yuan family still be the yuan family? "


    "The younger generation wanted to arrange for people to come back, but I didn''t worry about it."


    "My yuan family has been in louxiao for hundreds of years. How can it be completely gone because of a heavy rain?"


    "All the servants in my family have been dismissed. I will keep them to the end by myself."


    "I''m here. The ancestral hall of the yuan family is here."


    The old man had a firm look in his eyes.


    For an old man, returning to the roots is the most important thing.


    Where is the ancestral hall of the family and where is his root, so the old man watched the heavy rain continue, but the yuan family was not flooded, so he did not want to leave.


    The old man continued: "magistrate Lou, my yuan''s house is higher. The heavy rain will not affect the weather here for a few more days. So you don''t have to worry. You go. "


    After hearing this, Lou Xiao understood everything.


    The old man didn''t want to leave because he couldn''t put down the ancestral hall of the yuan family.


    Lou Xiao said: "father-in-law, it''s raining heavily, and from time to time there are dragons absorbing water. Once the wind blows, you can''t avoid it."


    "Since the ancestral temple is here, take away all the tablets of the yuan family."


    "Why do you want to stay here?"


    "The people in the city have been moved one after another."


    "It''s too dangerous for you to stay alone."


    Lou Xiao''s words were sincere and said, "move away. It''s not suitable for you to stay here."


    The old man shook his head and said, "the memorial tablet can be taken away, but once the ranking is taken away, the yuan family will be empty. If anything goes wrong with the ancestral hall of the yuan family, I will not be worthy of my ancestors. If I don''t go, I''ll never go. "


    After hearing this, Lou Xiao frowned slightly.


    The old man in front of us is really stubborn.


    Lou Xiao turned his eyes and said, "father-in-law, I have a few questions to ask. Can you answer them truthfully?"


    "Of course!"


    The old man answered directly.


    Lou Xiao said: "my father-in-law is a man who has lived through wind and rain for more than 70 years. In your experience, when will this heavy rain and gale end? "


    The old man said truthfully: "the heavy rain has not stopped, and there are more gales from time to time. I''m afraid it won''t stop for a short time. "


    Lou Xiao said: "since the father-in-law understands, he should know the danger."


    After hearing this, the old man shook his head.


    Obviously, the old man refused to leave.


    Lou Xiao continued: "since my father-in-law knows the danger, he knows that once the wind comes, Yuan''s house will be destroyed. Since there is such a risk, in case the father-in-law has a problem, do you know what kind of pain his children and grandchildren should feel? "


    "It''s understandable that the father-in-law is old enough to keep the ancestral hall well and want to return to his roots."


    "But in fact, the people of the yuan family are here, and the ancestral hall of the yuan family is there."


    "If there is no one in the yuan family, the ancestral hall is useless."


    "Especially once the father-in-law has a problem, what can the children do?"


    "The father-in-law''s guarding the ancestral hall is the maintenance of the yuan family."


    "But the real maintenance is that the father-in-law moves quickly to ensure your safety. As long as the father-in-law is healthy, you are here, and your children and grandchildren are here, then the yuan family is there, and the yuan family''s ancestral hall is there. "


    Lou Xiao closed his hands and arched his hands and said, "please think twice."


    After hearing this, the old man hesitated.


    Finally, he threw away the dagger and sighed, "just, just, I listen to the county magistrate''s arrangement."


    Lou Xiao was relieved to see this.


    Lou Xiao sent someone to pick up the old man and turned to leave.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier stepped on the water and ran quickly. The soldier stood in front of Lou Xiao and said in a loud voice, "my Lord, the king of Chu is outside Lou county. The king of Chu sent a messenger to ask you to go out of the city. "


    When Lou Xiao heard the news, he was excited.


    At this critical moment, Liu Xiu came in person. This is the real encouragement.

 Chapter 824

    Outside the city, in a hillside.


    There are already people gathered here, and there are also officers and soldiers to maintain order.


    At the foot of the hillside, Liu Xiu, Pang Tong, FA Zheng and others are appeasing the people who are going up the mountain one after another.


    When Liu Xiu and his party arrived in Wujun, they went all the way south.


    The road is muddy and hard to go. Fortunately, with the arrival of grain, although the people were affected by the disaster, they had no worries about food and clothing.


    "Newspaper!"


    A soldier came quickly and reported: "king, the magistrate of Lou county has arrived."


    "Bring it here!"


    Liu xiuphen said.


    Not long after, Lou Xiao came to Liu Xiu.


    As soon as Lou Xiao gets Liu Xiu''s order, he goes out of the city and all the way to where Liu Xiu is.


    See Liu Xiu, Lou Xiao excited salute way: "minister Lou Xiao, see the king."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "no need to be polite."


    Lou Xiao was very excited at the moment.


    He was a taxi of lumen Academy in Xiangyang and met Liu Xiu in Xiangyang. Now, as a minister, I am very excited to meet Liu Xiu in Lou county.


    Liu Xiu looked at Lou Xiao and said, "what''s the situation in Lou county?"


    Lou Xiao said: "report to the king, the people in Lou county have moved out of the city and have a rest in the Highlands outside the city."


    "When the weather clears and the storm is over, move back to the city."


    "The people who have moved out also have enough food supply."


    "Now Lou County, no problem for the time being."


    Lou Xiao held his head high in front of Liu Xiu with a confident look on his face.


    For the people of Lou County, he paid too much. When the storm came, he was busy every day and had little time to rest. It''s hard work, but at least it''s worth it.


    So far, there has been no looting or banditry in Lou County, and the people are not bad.


    Only the people who died in the natural disaster can not be recovered.


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    After entering Lou County, although the road, from time to time to see dead people.


    But along the way, the people of shilibixiang had already moved to the Highlands, and some government maintained order.


    Liu Xiu saw these things in his eyes.


    When it comes to such things, Lou Xiao doesn''t dare to lie, because he can''t hide it at all.


    Liu Xiu heard the speech and said with appreciation, "you did a good job!"


    When Lou Xiao heard Liu Xiu''s praise, he was even more excited. He hugged his fist and said, "I''m sorry for your praise. Many people are still dead in Lou County today. "


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "yes, keep working hard."


    "Here it is


    Lou Xiao was very excited.


    Liu xiudao: "you lead the way, go to other places to see the situation of the people."


    Lou Xiao said: "the king comes with Wei Chen."


    Immediately, Lou Xiao led Liu Xiu, Pang Tong and Fazheng to set out.


    Huang Hu led his soldiers to follow him to protect Liu Xiu and ensure his safety.


    Now, although there is no robbery and other incidents, the people have not looted, there are no bandits, but there is no guarantee that there will be people with ulterior motives, Huang Hu must be close to Liu Xiu''s safety at any time.


    The gathering place of people in Lou county is mainly in the south of Lou county.


    This place is rarely a hill.


    It used to be a barren mountain, a deserted place.


    But a storm came, continuous heavy rain, make Louxian a large area of disaster, on the contrary, this area is not affected.


    So the people are gathered here.


    When Lou Xiao arrived with Liu Xiuyi, the people welcomed him and respected him.


    Liu Xiu was also quite pleased to see this scene.


    From this, we can see that Lou''s reputation is really in the hearts of the people.


    When Lou Xiao introduced Liu Xiu''s identity, it immediately caused a sensation, and the people gathered here were very excited.


    In this era, the status of the head of a country is supreme.


    When the King appeared, the people were very excited.


    Especially at this difficult juncture, Liu Xiu''s appearance made the people even more grateful. In front of the people, Liu Xiu first inspired the people, and then said that the relief food is constantly coming.


    In this way, the people are even more excited.


    Liu Xiu turned around under the leadership of Lou Xiao. Where he passed, his heart was quite stable.


    After reading it, Liu Xiu was completely relieved.


    At noon, Lou Xiao wanted to arrange for Liu Xiu to prepare meals alone, but Liu Xiu ate some dry food and left without staying long in Lou Xiao.


    Along the way from the north, many people are still affected.


    Time is pressing. Liu Xiu has no time to stay.


    After leaving Lou County, Liu Xiu continued to go south with his team.


    After going south from Lou County, Liu Xiu went to Youquan county and Qiantang county again, and took Wu County, which is adjacent to the sea.These places are more or less affected by the disaster.


    Fortunately, all the people in charge of the academy are from Luxian county.


    The people had their own arrangements, but not many died.


    It''s just a big loss.


    But in today''s situation, as long as we can save our lives, everything can be done again.


    After inspecting the counties near the sea in Wu County, Liu Xiu continued to go south and entered Shanyin County, Kuaiji county. Kuaiji county is also close to the sea, and the situation is similar.


    Liu xiushun went south along the road, sleeping in the open, rather hard.


    After a walk, it''s the end of October.


    The weather is getting colder and the heavy rain has stopped. It''s just winter. Food has become the biggest problem.


    Food for disaster relief can be relieved temporarily.


    It is certainly not enough to let the people live through the winter.


    Liu Xiu directly dispatched grain from granaries to Yangzhou, and then continued to provide relief to help the people tide over the difficulties.


    As long as we get through this year, life will gradually recover after the spring of the next year.


    After Liu Xiu''s inspection, he returned to Xiangyang. It was the end of December.


    At this time, it is close to the end of the new year.


    When Liu Xiu dealt with daily affairs, Kuai Liang and others also presented the relief situation in Yangzhou, and everything was developing in a good direction.


    On this day, Kuai Liang came again.


    After a salute, Kuai Liang said, "king, I just got the news that the Earth Dragon has turned over in Bodao County in Yizhou, and there are more than 600 casualties. Today, Bodao county is doing its best in disaster relief, and Yizhou is also doing its best in disaster relief. "


    Liu Xiu frowned after listening.


    The Earth Dragon turns over. Generally speaking, this is the earthquake.


    First, there was a tornado in Yangzhou, which caused heavy rain and a large area of disaster.


    Now, Yizhou also has an earthquake.


    A series of events had a great influence on the state of Chu.


    Liu Xiu looked solemn and said, "Zi Rou, send someone to convey his life and spare no effort in disaster relief. If the officials obstruct, there will be no amnesty for killing. "


    This time is different from later generations.


    With the development of technology, search and rescue are easier and disaster relief is easier.


    Now it''s different. It''s all about horses.


    Especially Yizhou is very steep. It is not easy to enter Yizhou.


    Fortunately, Yizhou has plenty of food.


    "Here it is


    Kuai Liang responded.


    As soon as the words changed, Kuai Liang said, "Your Majesty, I still have something to say."


    Liu xiudao: "what''s the matter?"


    Kuai Liang looked solemn and continued: "I have discussed with Jia Xu, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others carefully. First, the Dragon absorbs water, and now the Earth Dragon turns over. I''m afraid it''s not a good omen. He suggested that the king should offer sacrifices to heaven and earth in exchange for the stability of the state of Chu. "

 Chapter 825

    When Liu Xiu heard the news of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, his expression became dignified.


    For Liu Xiu, whether the Dragon absorbs water or the Earth Dragon turns over, it is a natural phenomenon.


    Such things are normal.


    It can only be said that all these things have come together, and we have encountered these things in a row in this year.


    However, Kuai Liang, Jia Xu and others will not think so.


    It has been a matter of gods and monsters since ancient times.


    In particular, the common people also believe in gods and monsters. They think that the Dragon absorbs water and the Earth Dragon turns over is the feedback of heaven.


    Liu Xiu has no way to explain to Kuai Liang and others.


    This kind of thing can''t be explained clearly.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A rapid sound of footsteps came from outside the room.


    But Deng Zhan came in.


    Deng Zhan hurried into the hall with a solemn face. After saluting Liu Xiu, he saluted Kuai Liang and said, "king, the royal guards have just worn back. It''s reported that there are a large area of rumors in the territory of Chu."


    "All the rumors are that the king is immoral. Only when the God is angry can the Dragon absorb water and the Earth Dragon turn over."


    "After a thorough investigation, I found that it was from the state of Wei."


    "At present, people in the state of Wei are being arrested."


    "It''s just that the public opinion is boiling, and the people''s comments have become a boiling state, which is hard to suppress."


    Deng Zhan''s face was very anxious.


    There is a lot of discussion among the people, which can easily lead to unrest.


    Even if the royal guards are on a large scale, things are quite difficult.


    After hearing this, Kuai Liang looked more serious and said, "king, it''s necessary to sacrifice heaven and earth for today''s sake. Otherwise, it will be difficult to suppress the incident. If the king worships heaven and earth and prays to heaven, the resentment and discussion of the people will naturally ease. "


    Liu Xiu thought about it carefully.


    There is nothing wrong with offering sacrifices to heaven and earth. In fact, it is a very normal thing.


    Liu Xiu said, "yes, prepare for sacrifice."


    In today''s situation, Liu Xiu can only push the boat with the current, and there is no other way for the time being.


    Kuai Liang said, "Your Majesty is wise. I''ll arrange it."


    Kuai Liang was worried that Liu Xiu would oppose the sacrifice.


    Now that Liu Xiu has agreed, things will be easier.


    Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan again and said, "if you try your best to arrest the spies of the state of Wei, you will never be soft handed. The state of Chu is in an eventful period, and the state of Wei has to add to the chaos. We can''t be soft handed. "


    "Here it is


    Deng Zhan should go down.


    Immediately, Deng Zhan turned to leave.


    As soon as Deng zhangang walked out of the gate, he heard a hubbub of discussion.


    "Ah, look at the sky, there are meteorites falling."


    "Coming, coming, it seems to be the direction of Xiangyang City."


    "Yes, yes, is it true that the sky is angry?"


    There are many voices, one after another.


    One by one, the attendants talked, and when Deng Zhan heard this, he also looked up to the sky. When he looked up, his face was shocked, because there was a fireball shining in the sky, very dazzling, as if it was coming to Xiangyang City.


    Deng Zhan turned around and entered the palace. He looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, there''s something wrong. One day, meteorites from outside the sky are coming towards Xiangyang City. "


    At the moment, Liu Xiu also heard the discussion outside the hall.


    He rubbed to his feet and quickly walked out of the main hall with Kuai Liang and Deng Zhan.


    Standing outside the hall, looking up into the sky.


    I saw some dusky sky, fireball clearly visible, very dazzling appeared in the air.


    This fireball should be towards Xiangyang City.


    "Gudong!"


    Liu Xiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva.


    Although Liu Xiu revived his third life, he came from later generations.


    He is also rich in experience and has seen the strange things of later generations. But at this moment, seeing the scene in front of him, he is still surprised.


    First there was a tsunami.


    Then there was the earthquake.


    Now it''s a meteorite fall.


    These three things are natural events, not strange things.


    It''s just that Liu Xiu has experienced the crossing.


    Now three things are connected, Liu Xiu is naturally sensitive.


    Liu Xiu looks at the fireball in the sky. As time goes by, the fireball becomes more and more obvious and closer to Xiangyang City.


    Kuai Liang looked startled and said, "king, go back to the house to escape."


    Deng Zhan was also worried.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "the place where the meteorite fell is unknown. What''s the use of avoiding it? No need


    While Liu XiuGuan was watching, Huang Hu and Sha Moke came with their troops.


    Then Huang Yueying and sun Shangxiang came.


    Everybody get together.


    The look on each face was extremely worried.With the passage of time, when the distance is getting closer and closer, we can judge the direction clearly.


    Liu Xiu estimated it for a while and said, "the place to fall should be in the direction of lumen mountain."


    "Huang Hu, Deng Zhan!"


    Liu Xiu directly ordered.


    Meteorite fall down, this is a common thing.


    But it''s connected with tsunamis and earthquakes, and it''s easy to use.


    At this time, we must properly handle the meteorite issue.


    "The end will be here!" said Huang Hu


    Deng Zhan said: "I''m here!"


    Liu Xiu ordered: "mobilize the flying tiger camp and the royal guards to track down the place where the meteorite fell immediately. Then, seal off the scene and keep no one near. "


    "Here it is


    They clasped their fists and left in a hurry.


    Kuai Liang also recovered at the moment. He arched his hand and said, "king, the meteorite fall will inevitably involve many matters. There are many things to deal with. I''ll leave."


    "Well!"


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    After seeing Kuai Liang leave, Liu Xiu looks at sun Shangxiang, Huang Yueying and other girls and says, "go back to the harem too. Don''t walk around."


    "Here it is


    Several women answered, and then left.


    Liu Xiu asked shamoko to be in charge of the guard and went back to his study.


    He needs to think about it calmly and figure out what to do next.


    Because a series of things happened, things got out of control.


    If one is not handled properly, it will easily affect the people''s will.


    When Liu Xiu was waiting for the news in the palace, his servant came to report to him: "king, Fazheng and pangtong are asking for a meeting."


    "Xuan!"


    Liu Xiu said.


    The Chamberlain gave a notice, and soon Fazheng and pangtong entered the study.


    They took their seats after the salute.


    Pang Tong said: "king, the news of the meteorite falling has spread in Xiangyang City, and people are talking about it. I guess there will be other news soon. I think it is likely to be used by the state of Wei. "


    Fazheng said: "I also agree with Pang Junshi''s analysis."


    Liu Xiu asked, "what do you two think of this?"


    Pang Tong''s eyes showed a deep color, saying: "humble proposal, with the help of this matter to change public opinion, turn the situation around, and turn it into something beneficial to us."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes brightened when he heard it.


    Since Pang Tong had done so, he expected to have made plans and plans.


    Liu Xiu was in a mess about the successive natural disasters. After he thought about it, he couldn''t come up with a suitable way. Now Pang Tong has brought a plan, and Liu Xiu is also relieved.


    Liu Xiu asked, "how can the scholar and yuan plan be settled?"

 Chapter 826

    Pang Tong''s face was solemn, and he said: "king, I think it can be done like this..."


    Immediately, Pang Tong stated the whole plan.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu''s eyes brightened, and his face was full of sadness. On the contrary, he showed a smile.


    Pang Tong''s strategy can be described as a magic stroke.


    As a matter of fact, Pang Tong''s tactics were not uncommon, and Liu Xiu was fascinated by them, and did not think of them.


    As soon as Pang Tong reminded him, Liu Xiu responded.


    Liu xiudao: "Shiyuan''s strategy is feasible. According to this operation, the overall situation can be reversed. The consequences of Cao Cao''s arrangement to disturb the situation can also be suppressed. "


    After a pause, Liu said, "the only drawback is that some of them are baked on the fire."


    Fazheng said: "king, at this point, everyone in the world knows the situation. There is no need to do so. Moreover, Wei Chen believes that this is also an opportunity to investigate the officials of the state of Chu. "


    Liu xiudao: "when Xiaozhi says this, it''s polite."


    Fazheng had expectations in his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I think Pang''s plan should be supplemented."


    Liu Xiu asked: "how to add?"


    After Pang Tong heard this, he also looked at Fazheng.


    Pang Tong thinks that the plan he made is perfect and there are no loopholes. Now Fazheng has proposed to supplement the plan, which makes Pang Tong feel delicious.


    Fazheng said with a smile, "since it''s making miracles, why not make more?"


    When Pang Tong heard this, he suddenly realized.


    He understood immediately.


    Liu Xiu was also a very smart man. He knew Pang Tong''s plan, and when he heard Fazheng''s proposal, he also understood the meaning of Fazheng. He said with a straight face, "yes, this is the right strategy. That''s it."


    Liu Xiu looked at Pang Tong and Fazheng and said, "scholars of Yuan Dynasty and Xiaozhi, now the state of Chu is in a precarious situation and is in a passive position. The smooth implementation of this plan is related to the future of Chu. The next plan is for you two to mobilize the royal guards and try your best to arrange this. "


    "Here it is


    Pang Tong and Fazheng agreed.


    After discussing with Liu Xiu, they left in a hurry.


    Liu Xiu felt at ease and went to the harem.


    ¡­¡­


    Zhou Yu''s residence.


    Today, Zhou Yu is also one of the core officials of the state of Chu.


    It has been a long time since Sun Quan died. Zhou Yu almost forgot about Sun Quan. It was only recently that the state of Chu was in turmoil that Zhou Yu''s mind began to fluctuate.


    He stood in the yard, looking at the place where the meteorite fell, with some thought-provoking look in his eyes.


    Your servant, Zhou Yu ordered his servant to talk nonsense and gave a command that no one was allowed to chew his tongue.


    "Zhongmou, you are just too impatient."


    "If you are a man, you can bend and stretch, why not submit to Liu Xiu?"


    "If you are still there, you may not have no chance to operate because of the ups and downs of Chu, the fact that the Dragon absorbs water, the Earth Dragon turns over, and the meteorite falling from the sky."


    "Unfortunately, you left too early."


    Zhou Yu stood alone in the yard, muttering to himself.


    There was a look of remembrance on his face.


    "I don''t know if the old lady was well in Yizhou. I don''t know how Sun Shao is doing with them."


    "Oh, it''s a pity for you."


    "But when you die, I''m not so embarrassed. Even Zhang Zhao and Lu Su are not embarrassed."


    "That''s another advantage."


    "It''s a pity that you died, but it''s good for us."


    "Alas..."


    Zhou Yu whispered softly.


    Zhou Yu was quite sorry for Sun Quan''s death.


    At the same time, Zhou Yu felt that Zhou Yu''s death was over, which was the best result for all Wu officials who were subordinated to the state of Chu.


    This is Zhou Yu''s most contradictory point.


    I hope Zhou Yu can bear the humiliation, but I don''t want to struggle any more.


    ¡­¡­


    Lumen Academy.


    In the Academy, there have been a lot of people.


    All the scholars came out and gathered in the Academy.


    Meteorite from the sky. This is a change in the astronomical phenomena.


    Such a thing is bound to portend something, so every taxi in lumen academy is very concerned about it.


    In Pound''s public library.


    As the president of the Academy, pound brought all the staff together.


    As Liu Xiu''s teacher, pound knew the impact of meteorite landing.


    Once the trouble happened in lumen academy, it would have a great influence on Liu Xiu. Therefore, the first thing for pound to do is to stabilize the emotions of the scholars in lumen Academy.


    Looking at all the people in the study, Pound''s face was more serious than ever before. He ordered: "the meteorite landing is a normal celestial phenomenon. I don''t want to hear anything strange.""When you go down, you should restrain the scholars from chewing your tongue."


    "Once discovered, he was expelled from the Academy."


    "At the same time, if there is a problem with a scholar, the teacher who teaches him should be jointly and severally liable, which is equally serious."


    "Are you clear?"


    At this time, Pound''s tone was very severe.


    In the eyes of the teachers of lumen college, he was a few very gentle elders, rarely so severe.


    But everyone knows that pound is serious.


    Once things really happen, they will be held responsible.


    Everyone responded in unison, and everyone was in awe.


    Although the Confucians here are in the academy all day long, they are not the people who do not hear things outside the window. They also know what happened recently and what pound is worried about, so they all know how to do it.


    One by one, they left soon and went to restrain each other.


    Soon after these people left, Sima Hui came.


    Sima Hui was very anxious. He looked at Pang Degong and said, "Pang Gong, the sky is going to have a meteorite. I''m afraid it will cause a big shock. This matter needs to be prepared early, especially for the king of Chu


    Today''s Sima Hui is in line with Liu Xiu.


    As Liu Zhen''s teacher, Sima Hui had a close relationship with Chu.


    Pang Degong stroked his beard under his jaw and said with a smile, "the king of Chu will definitely respond to the virtue. The counselors around him can think of this level. "


    "At this time, he must be busy, so we don''t have to go."


    "What we need to do now is to stabilize the Academy."


    "It''s enough as long as the college taxi doesn''t talk nonsense and doesn''t take part in things carelessly."


    "It''s wonderful not to make trouble for the king of Chu."


    Pound''s eyes were shining. All his energy at this time must be put into the Academy.


    If the academy is stable, at least some things are missing.


    After hearing this, Sima Hui nodded slightly and said, "Pang Gong''s idea is pretty good."


    Mr. pound got up and said, "come on, let''s go out and have a look. Nowadays, people in the academy are boiling and turbulent. At this time, the two of us can''t hide in the room. We have to walk around and have a look. We also have to appease the scholars and stabilize their hearts. "


    Sima Hui nodded and stood up.


    After they left their study, they toured the lumen Academy.


    Both Pang Degong and Sima Hui have great prestige in the lumen Academy.


    With the appearance of the two and the appeasement of the Faculty of the lumen academy, the situation in the Academy gradually stabilized and lived up to the previous turbulence and chaos.

 Chapter 827

    Lumen mountain, ten miles to the south.


    This area is adjacent to Hanjiang River in the west, lumen mountain in the north and mountains and forests in the East. In this mountain forest, there is a small area where the trees are broken and the ground is scorched.


    In the center of this scorched earth area stands a huge stone.


    This huge stone is nearly one foot six feet wide and two feet two feet high. Its surface is dark and pitted.


    This is the meteorite that came down from the sky, right here.


    At this time, the surrounding is still silent.


    At the edge of the mountain forest, a team of people and horses are coming quickly.


    "Rustle!"


    The sound of broken footsteps, constantly sounded.


    At the edge of the mountain forest, a group of people in black Samurai clothes came quickly.


    Among these people, Deng Zhan is the leader.


    In Deng Zhan''s side, Huang Hu and others were also followed. Huang Hu led the soldiers of the flying tiger camp under his command.


    Two people with soldiers constantly close to the meteorite landing site.


    "Newspaper!"


    All of a sudden, a royal guard came out from the deep forest.


    Deng Zhan looked forward and immediately asked, "what''s the news?"


    The soldier of the royal guards replied, "report back to the general, we have found the stone of heaven general. The stone is half an hour away from our place. "


    "Lead the way!"


    Deng Zhan gave an order.


    He and Huang Hu looked at each other, and both of them were very happy.


    Finally found the place where the stone fell.


    They sped up and went to the mountains.


    Just then, another soldier from the rear came to Deng Zhan and Huang Hu and reported: "General Huang, general Deng, commander Pang and commander French are coming. Please pause and wait for them to arrive."


    Deng Zhan was a little surprised.


    What happened to Pang Tong and Fazheng?


    Deng Zhan looked at Huang Hu and said, "General Huang Hu, what do you want to do?"


    When it comes to tracking down meteorites, Deng Zhan is unwilling to wait. If you find out where the meteorite landed, you''ll get credit first.


    It''s just that Pang Tong and Fazheng have different identities.


    They sent people to convey the news, and Deng Zhan could not ignore their orders.


    Huang Hu chuckled and said, "general Deng, since commander Pang and Mr. Fazheng have orders, we will wait for a while."


    "Perhaps the king has new orders."


    "What do you say?"


    Huang Hu did not choose to move on, but suggested to stay.


    His simple smile made Deng Zhan sigh.


    Deng Zhan clenched his fist, but then loosened it and said, "just listen to General Huang."


    "Stop going!"


    Deng Zhan gave the order directly.


    The team stopped and waited quietly.


    Huang Hu and Deng Zhan are sitting on the stone. Deng Zhan is not angry and says, "General Huang Hu, what do you think Pang Junshi will do at this time?"


    "I don''t know," he said


    "Wait," Deng said


    They waited.


    About half an hour later, I heard a sound of walking.


    But in the rear of the forest, Pang Tong and Fazheng came with a team of soldiers.


    There were not many soldiers around them, only more than ten.


    Pang Tong and Fazheng soon merged with Huang Hu. Pang Tong said, "general Deng and General Huang."


    See you.


    Deng Zhan said: "Mr. Pang and Mr. FA are here. What can I do for you?"


    Pang Tong said, "have you found the place where the meteorite fell?"


    Deng Zhandao said: "it has been found out. It''s half an hour away from us."


    Pang Tong looked happy and said, "if you find it, it''s good. General Deng, General Huang and your majesty have orders. All the accompanying soldiers retreat to the edge of the woods and set up checkpoints. No one is allowed to get close to them. You two are going with me and Lord FA. "


    "Here it is


    Deng Zhan and Huang Hu responded directly.


    Since it was Liu Xiu''s order, they did not dare to resist.


    The soldiers soon backed out and went to the edge of the woods.


    At this time, only more than ten soldiers brought by Pang Tong and Fazheng were left.


    Deng Zhan looked at these people and asked, "Pang Jun division, soldiers need to set up checkpoints outside. Do these more than ten soldiers want to follow?"


    Pang Tong said, "they have to go!"


    Deng Zhan nodded, didn''t say anything, just a little sulky in his heart.


    The party went on under the guidance of the spies.


    Soon, the party finally arrived.


    The ground in this area has long been burnt to scorched earth.


    Vegetation and trees on the ground were destroyed.


    Pang Tong and others'' eyes fell on the dark, cratered meteorite.Looking at this tall meteorite, everyone took a breath.


    Because of the impact of the falling meteorite, the surrounding soil turned into a big crater. You can imagine how strong the impact force will be when a meteorite lands.


    "Go and have a look!"


    Pang Tong called and brought the crowd close.


    The party came to the meteorite.


    "Well, there''s another palm print."


    Pang Tong stared at the meteorite, frowning.


    On the front of the meteorite, there is a five finger mark.


    This is a meteorite falling from the sky. It has five finger marks. It''s really weird.


    Pang Tong put his hand on the five finger print. It was cold and cold. He didn''t feel much.


    However, the surface of the meteorite falling from the sky is full of potholes. On the contrary, there is a five finger mark on the front. It''s really weird, even more indescribable and magical.


    Fazheng also tried and put his palm on it, but it was the same feeling.


    They looked around the meteorite and found nothing special.


    FA Zheng looked at Pang Tong and said, "Pang Jun Shi, I''ve seen this sacred stone. There''s nothing strange about it. You see, when does it start? "


    Pang Tong said, "let''s start."


    Both Deng Zhan and Huang Hu were surprised by their conversation.


    Deng Zhandao: "Pang Junshi, Mr. FA, what''s the beginning? Is it to remove this sacred stone? "


    Pang Tong shook his head and said, "it''s not to move. It''s to carve eight characters on the surface of this sacred stone. Heaven''s destiny is in Chu, and Chu and Han are flourishing."


    Eight words from Pang Tong''s mouth.


    When Deng Zhan and Huang Hu heard this, they were all very surprised.


    Pang Tong didn''t care what they thought. He turned his eyes to the more than ten soldiers he had brought with him and said, "the eight characters are engraved on the left side of the palm of his hand. Remember, don''t destroy the veins of the palm. The palm print is natural and can''t be carved. Plus eight words, it''s more convincing. This is the real miracle. "


    "Hiss!"


    When Deng Zhan and Huang Hu heard this, they both took a breath.


    In their hearts, they were both extremely surprised.


    I didn''t expect Pang Tong and Fazheng to do this. They both knew the impact of doing this.


    This is the destiny of Liu Xiu.


    It was God who recognized Liu Xiu and made him go further.


    The two stepped aside and watched the ten soldiers take off their robes, then take out their tools and carve on the meteorite. This meteorite is very hard and not easy to carve, but it is not too difficult for ten craftsmen to carve it.


    Pang Tong and falian also stood aside, waiting quietly.

 Chapter 828

    Two days, fleeting.


    In the past two days, the whole Xiangyang City has been in a state of discussion.


    People are talking about the meteorite landing.


    In addition, Yangzhou was hit by floods and Yizhou was hit by earthquakes. All the natural disasters gathered together, which was a warning from heaven. Even heaven wanted to punish the state of Chu and the king of Chu.


    Even if lumen academy does not participate in such a thing and officials try to suppress it, it is still difficult to control it.


    The public sentiment is boiling and there is a lot of discussion.


    In the palace.


    Liu XiuXiu is reading the memorials.


    All the news is about Tianjiang meteorite.


    Liu Xiu looked at it, but he didn''t care.


    Because since the meteorite landed, his counterattack has been in preparation.


    Two days later, Pang Tong and Fazheng should have finished.


    A sound of footwork came from outside the hall.


    Kuai Liang entered the main hall and said, "Your Majesty, our people are also contributing to the fire these two days. Today, all the people''s eyes are attracted by meteorites. Now, wait for the meteorite to come out of the mountain forest. "


    Kuai Liang is also aware of Pang Tong''s plan.


    As the head of the interior officials, Kuai Liang also participated in the operation of this event.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "everything is ready, just wait for Pang Tong''s news."


    "Newspaper!"


    The waiter came in in a hurry and reported: "Your Majesty, general Deng Zhan is asking to see you."


    Liu xiudao: "Xuan!"


    In a short time, Deng Zhan entered the hall, saluted and said, "I''ll see you."


    Liu xiudao: "how are you getting ready?"


    Deng Zhan said excitedly: "king, everything is ready. Pang Junshi said that he would pull out the mountain forest tomorrow morning and go to Xiangyang City. Along the way, spread the news thoroughly. "


    "Good!"


    After Liu Xiu heard this, he said hello.


    This day finally came.


    Deng Zhan said: "king, there is a strange thing about this meteorite."


    "What''s the matter?" Liu Xiu asked.


    Kuai Liang also looks at Deng Zhan.


    When it comes to meteorites, Deng Zhan is also very strange. What''s on the meteorites?


    Deng Zhan said: "the meteorites that landed are extremely dark in front and behind, and the surface is even more pitted. But there is a vivid handprint on it. The five fingerprints are like a person''s hand pressing on them. If it''s not a miracle, Mo will not know how to explain it. "


    Palmprint?


    After listening to this, Liu Xiu also felt very strange.


    Under the imprint of the palm, this is indeed a very strange thing.


    As for the meteorite falling from the sky, Liu Xiu, as a person coming from later generations, clearly knows that meteorite falling is a natural phenomenon.


    But there is a handprint on the meteorite, which is strange.


    In Liu Xiu''s heart, he suddenly had an idea.


    Is it true that there are gods?


    Just thinking about it, Liu Xiu put the idea aside. He thought it was impossible.


    If there are gods and monsters in this world, it will be different.


    Liu Xiushen took a deep breath, restrained his mind, and said: "since there is a palm print, it is a miracle. After all, meteorites falling from the sky can''t be imprinted. Now with the palmprint and the words carved on it, it''s more convincing. "


    Kuai Liang sat on one side, his heart was also shocked.


    He also thought the handprint was weird.


    But at the moment, Kuai Liang has no way to solve it. He just feels powerless.


    "Pang Junshi also said that he would welcome the king out of the city in person at that time," Deng said


    Liu xiudao: "well, I will go to the gate to welcome back the miracle."


    Deng Zhan said, "I will return to the mountain forest immediately."


    "Well!"


    Liu Xiu nodded and watched Deng Zhan leave.


    Kuai Liang asked Liu Xiuqing to come back tomorrow. In the meantime, you can arrange for people to build up momentum and make things bigger. "


    "Here it is


    Kuai Liang answered and left.


    Liu Xiu sat alone in the hall, thinking about the meteorite.


    There''s something wrong with it.


    But the current situation can only be seen step by step.


    ¡­¡­


    South of the city.


    A house.


    In the study.


    An old man with a white head is sitting in it.


    The old man''s name was Shang Hao. He was a businessman on the surface, but secretly he was a man from Cao Cao in the north.


    Shang Hao is in his early fifties. In this era, he is a man of high age.


    However, he is hale and hearty.


    Looking at the housekeeper sitting in front of him, Shang Hao asked, "there''s something wrong with the situation these two days. Although our people are making trouble, let the people talk about it. But behind this, there seems to be a force that makes the situation more chaotic. "The housekeeper said, "is it the sun family?"


    Shang Hao said, "do you have any evidence?"


    The housekeeper shook his head.


    So far, it has not been found who is behind the fire.


    Shang Hao stroked his beard and said, "I always think it''s not so simple. Without Sun Quan, the sun family no longer exists. Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and Lu Su are all Liu Xiu''s people."


    "As for the rest of Liu Bei, they have no strength."


    "Now, where is the power of Chu?"


    "In other words, Liu Xiu contributed to the fire."


    In Shang Hao''s eyes, suddenly there was a flash of light.


    After hearing this, the housekeeper shook his head and said, "master, now the state of Chu has suffered from natural disasters one after another. First there were floods, later earthquakes, and now there are meteorites


    "This series of events is extremely unfavorable to the state of Chu."


    "If Liu Xiu wants to do something, he will also calm down his gaffe."


    "And these two days, the royal guards under Liu Xiu have been arresting people wantonly, and they are calming down their gaffes."


    The housekeeper said, "the most unlikely person is Liu Xiu."


    Shang Hao listened to the housekeeper''s analysis, but his face looked thoughtful.


    Liu Xiu is the least likely?


    According to common sense, Liu Xiu is impossible.


    Just now


    Shang Hao ordered: "check, be sure to find out, see if Liu Xiu is involved?"


    "Here it is


    The housekeeper answered.


    They lurk in Xiangyang. Most of the time, they are serious businessmen and seldom convey information. It is just like this that we can always be stable in Xiangyang.


    Shang Hao thought about the whole thing.


    All of a sudden, his eyes lit up and he said, "this is probably what Liu Xiu did."


    "Why?"


    The housekeeper still doesn''t understand.


    Now the situation is fierce. If Liu Xiu makes a move, it will be extremely unfavorable to Liu Xiu.


    Shang Hao analyzed: "today''s floods, even the Yizhou earthquake, plus today''s Tianjiang meteorite. All things point to Liu Xiu, saying that Liu Xiu''s immorality is the cause. "


    "Ghosts and gods can be used to fool people, but we don''t believe in ghosts and gods."


    "We can think of using the theory of ghosts and gods to fool the people and set off a wave of resistance against Liu Xiu. Then, Liu Xiu can also fight back with the help of the theory of ghosts and gods. "


    "To attack a son''s shield with his spear is to treat him in his own way."


    "What Liu Xiu wants to use is to use meteorites to turn the situation around."


    "If you think about it again, in the past two days, the meteorite has never been transported back to Xiangyang, and Liu Xiu''s people are stationed outside the mountain forest, so we can''t get close to it, and we can''t get information."


    "It''s definitely Liu Xiu''s time to prepare."


    "Next, Liu Xiu is likely to fight back with the help of meteorites."


    In Shang Hao''s eyes, the essence was shining.


    He felt that he had analyzed the problem and sorted out the matter clearly.


    The housekeeper thought for a moment and said, "my Lord, if you think about it carefully, maybe it is true. Liu Xiu was quite passive when the flood and earthquake hit. "


    "Now, he''s building momentum."


    "And then, with the help of meteorites, we''ll blow things down again."


    "It''s not easy to use meteorites."


    The housekeeper looked at Shang Hao and said, "my Lord, what shall we do?"


    After analyzing clearly, Shang Hao was excited at first, then sat down and said, "the most direct way is to take the meteorite away. It''s just that our current strength, not to mention snatching, can''t even get close. "


    The housekeeper said, "is that the way to do it?"


    Shang Hao shook his head and said, "no, we must not allow development. If Liu Xiu wants to turn the situation around with the help of meteorites, what we have to do is to compete with him. You arrange for people to go out of the city to inquire about the news. Once the meteorite is sent to Xiangyang, report it immediately. When the meteorite appears, we''ll do it again. "


    "Here it is


    The housekeeper answered and turned away.

 Chapter 829

    The edge of the forest.


    There are a lot of people here.


    There are good people, there are spies, there are people living nearby


    Everyone is waiting for the meteorite to come out.


    The meteorite incident has caused a stir.


    Up to now, everyone wants to see what is falling from the sky.


    If it had not been for the army''s hands on the edge of the forest, the people would have rushed in.


    The army was terrified, so they didn''t act rashly.


    Therefore, people have to wait slowly.


    "Here we are. There are people in the forest. There are people coming out."


    All of a sudden, some of the people were shouting.


    As soon as the voice came out, everyone was staring at the forest one by one, hoping to see the situation in the forest immediately.


    However, there are only human figures and voices in the forest.


    There was a click.


    In the forest, big trees fell.


    A group of soldiers cut down trees and made a way out.


    Behind the woodcutters, a wooden cart carrying a meteorite was slowly moving forward under the pull of the soldiers.


    This wooden cart, two feet wide and nearly three feet long, stands the meteorite on the wooden board. There are also ropes to tie up the meteorite and the wooden cart to ensure that the meteorite will not fall down.


    Under the wooden cart, there are eight wheels.


    Four wheels on one side to make sure the cart moves smoothly.


    On both sides of the cart, soldiers helped and pushed the cart forward slowly. Whenever there are potholes or uneven places, soldiers should fill up immediately to ensure the smooth progress of the wooden cart.


    Deng Zhan followed him. He looked at Pang Tong and said, "Pang Junshi, you''ll be out of the mountain forest soon. There are many people outside. As soon as we go out, we really get into the sight of the people. "


    Pang Tong expected: "finally came out."


    He stayed in the forest these two days, and Pang Tong had nothing to do, which was quite boring.


    It''s interesting to get out of the mountains and transport the stone all the way back to the city.


    The cart was still moving slowly.


    It took nearly a quarter of an hour for the wooden cart to come out of the woods and stop on the official road outside the forest.


    At this moment, the meteorite is also completely exposed to the people.


    Pang Tong glanced at the people around him and ordered the soldiers to bring the horses. Then he tied the horses with saddles and other ropes and let them pull in front of him.


    After all this, Pang Tong ordered: "where is Deng Zhan?"


    The voice was loud and the people heard it.


    Deng Zhan understood Pang Tong''s meaning, which was also Langsheng''s boxing way: "the end will be here!"


    With a smile in his mouth, Pang Tong ordered: "you should go back to Xiangyang in person and report the good news to the king. One day, good luck will come to the state of Chu."


    "Here you are," said Deng Zhan


    He got the order, got on his horse and left quickly.


    Pang Tong''s words also spread, and the onlookers looked at the meteorite standing on the wooden cart and carefully examined it.


    The meteorite fell on the state of Chu, which was a punishment from heaven.


    How did it become auspicious?


    "I see it. There are words on it."


    All of a sudden, people were shouting in the crowd.


    The sound appeals to everyone.


    A pair of eyes, staring at the meteorite standing on the wooden cart.


    "Heaven''s destiny lies in Chu, and Chu and Han Dynasties prosper."


    The common people who knew the characters read out the eight characters on the meteorite. The eight characters carved by the craftsman are askew, but they are clearly visible. You can see them at a glance.


    The eight words on the meteorite spread.


    The people were all shocked. No one thought it would be like this.


    "There are not only eight characters on the meteorite, but also a palm print."


    Suddenly, the people were shouting.


    All the people listened to it and looked at it carefully.


    This discovery is even more surprising.


    Pang Tong glanced around, and the smile on his face was even more brilliant.


    That''s what he wants.


    Pang Tong looked around at the people and said in a loud voice: "the stone stands on the carriage. When it is transported back to Xiangyang, it will be sent to the palace. Before that, I''ll let you watch closely. Anyone who wants to have a look and feel can come forward. This stone is auspicious from heaven. You can look at it closely. "


    Meteorites are real.


    In particular, the meteorite is extremely hard. Only after people touch it can they believe it more.


    You know, in order to carve eight characters, all the craftsmen Pang Tong took to work hard to succeed.


    Pang Tong''s orders excited the people.


    One by one, they came up, stood beside the carriage and looked at it carefully.


    Some people reached out to touch it. When they found that the meteorite was as hard as iron, they looked at the eight characters and the palm print carefully, and immediately no longer doubted it. They completely believed in the prophecy that "the destiny of Chu and the great prosperity of Chu and Han Dynasties.".One by one, they touched, observed and believed.


    "It''s true. It''s a real stone."


    "We thought heaven was angry, but we didn''t expect it was auspicious."


    "I said something was wrong. The king of Chu was benevolent, so that the people could have enough food and clothing. How could God punish them? This time, auspicious weather is the best proof. "


    "Heaven still protects the king of Chu."


    "In my opinion, it should not be the king of Chu, it should be the emperor of Chu."


    "It''s said that the destiny of Chu is to make the king of Chu ascend to the throne, otherwise he would not say so."


    ¡­¡­


    The common people competed to discuss, but without exception, they all believed the prophecy on the meteorite.


    The people who had doubted Liu Xiu had changed.


    One by one, they talked about Liu Xiu''s orthodoxy and about Liu Xiu''s claim to be emperor.


    Pang Tong waited for nearly half an hour for the people around him to see it again. Then he ordered the soldiers to separate the people and let the horses pull the meteorite along.


    The team went to Xiangyang City.


    However, apart from Pang Tong and FA Zheng, there are more and more people accompanying them.


    The whole team, like a long winding dragon, is magnificent.


    And in the team.


    After a spy belonging to the state of Wei discovered it, he soon disappeared and went to the city.


    The spy came to Shang Hao''s house.


    He entered the study and reported after his luggage: "my Lord, it''s a bad thing. The stone transported from the mountain forest is not an ordinary stone, but a sacred stone. The strange thing about this stone is that there are eight words on it. "


    "Which eight words?" asked Shang Hao


    The Scout said, "the destiny is in Chu, and the Chu and Han Dynasties prosper."


    "Hiss!"


    Shang Hao took a cool breath.


    This time, the meteorite fell and put on the shell of the miracle of heaven. Now the stone that has fallen down suddenly has eight words, which is definitely beneficial to the state of Chu, but not to the state of Wei.


    Shang Hao''s eyes were dignified, and he said in a deep voice: "I think these eight words are the plan of the state of Chu, which is Liu Xiu''s backhand, and is his card to reverse the situation. This stone may be fake, but the stone that originally fell down has been buried by Liu Xiu''s people. "


    The spy shook his head and said, "my Lord, it should be true."


    "Really?"


    Shang Hao was a little surprised.


    He looked at the spy with a look of doubt in his eyes.


    The detective took a deep breath and explained: "my Lord, when the stone was transported out of the mountain forest, Pang Tong removed the protection and let the people touch and watch it. I''m here, and I touch the stone. "


    "The material of this sacred stone is very hard, just like gold and iron."


    "Its surface is dark, and even more pitted, which belongs to the God stone falling from the sky."


    "The most important thing is that in addition to eight words, there is also a handprint."


    "This handprint is made by no legal person. It''s hard to print such a vivid handprint. "


    "So I think it''s true."


    The spy''s eyes showed a look of doubt, even he believed it.


    After listening to the spy, Shang Hao''s face was full of dignified expression. He stood up and said, "you have your opinion. I''ll wait at the gate of the city. I''ll confirm it myself."


    After listening to the spy''s words, Shang Hao''s heart also wavered.


    At the bottom of his heart, Shang Hao thought it was false, but at this moment, he couldn''t help believing it.

 Chapter 830

    Xiangyang, the gate of the city.


    Liu Xiu personally took civil and military officials, waiting for the meteorite to arrive.


    In addition to Liu Xiu, there are countless people gathered.


    Shang Hao is also standing among the people. He is also waiting.


    While waiting, there are already people coming back one after another on the official road.


    These people all saw the meteorite at the edge of the mountain forest and clearly saw the condition of the meteorite.


    One by one, they talked and spread the news.


    When the people heard this news, they all looked forward to it more and more.


    In particular, the eight word prophecy of "destiny in Chu, great prosperity in Chu and Han Dynasties" was spread out, which made the people look forward to it even more.


    Time goes by little.


    By noon, it was still cold.


    However, the number of people did not decrease. Instead, more and more people came to watch.


    "Here it is


    All of a sudden, there were people shouting in the crowd.


    I saw countless people coming from the official road in the distance.


    Because of the people''s encirclement, people at the gate of the city can only see meteorites, but they can''t really see what''s going on.


    A little closer.


    Soon, Pang Tong and FA were escorting the meteorite to the gate of the city.


    Pang Tong arched his hand and said, "I''ll see you."


    The rest saluted.


    Liu Xiu nodded. He went to the side of the meteorite and looked at it carefully.


    As for the condition of meteorite, there have been attendants delivering information for a long time.


    Liu Xiu already knew the situation clearly, but now he looked at the meteorite carefully, especially the palm print on it. Liu Xiu also felt strange in his heart.


    Meteorites fall from the sky, because of atmospheric friction, the surface of meteorites must be pitted.


    However, this handprint is vivid.


    Such a situation made Liu Xiu feel strange.


    Looking at this handprint, somehow, Liu Xiu was impulsive to print it.


    It''s not that Liu Xiu wants to have a try.


    It''s like being attracted.


    Liu Xiu suppressed the agitation in his heart, turned his back to the meteorite, then looked at the people around him, raised his right hand, and cried, "this sacred stone is from the sky."


    "God stone, there is a palm print, more destiny in Chu Han Daxing eight words."


    "It can be seen that heaven''s destiny lies in the state of Chu."


    Liu Xiu has a loud voice.


    The sound spread around.


    The people heard Liu Xiu''s words clearly.


    "Heaven''s destiny lies in Chu, and Chu and Han Dynasties prosper."


    In the crowd, suddenly someone was shouting.


    "Heaven''s destiny lies in Chu, and Chu and Han Dynasties prosper!"


    "Heaven''s destiny lies in Chu, and Chu and Han Dynasties prosper!"


    The people around them began to shout.


    From one or two people in the beginning to twenty or thirty.


    Then there were hundreds of people shouting, and more and more people were affected and shouting.


    The common people of Chu supported Liu Xiu very much.


    Now that such miraculous events have taken place, people are more supportive of Liu Xiu.


    Shang Hao looked in his eyes and sighed in his heart.


    He clearly saw the God stone, and then saw the people who took the lead in shouting, he knew that Liu Xiu must have arranged people. But he couldn''t stop it.


    At this time, he will be criticized.


    This is the worst time to get ahead.


    Shang Hao looked at the excited people and sighed in his heart.


    After this time, after the news spread, the previous comments and rumors of the Chu people will be broken.


    On the contrary, Liu Xiu was completely deified.


    Since then, Liu Xiu will become the spokesman of heaven.


    Cao Cao''s holding the son of heaven is of great righteousness. But with the stone that fell from the sky, Liu Xiu had legitimacy to some extent.


    Even if Liu Xiu was called emperor, it would make sense.


    It was arranged by God.


    Who dares to retort?


    No one can argue.


    Liu Xiu listened to the people''s excited shouts, smiling.


    First the flood, then the earthquake.


    The spread of the two events had a great impact on the state of Chu.


    Now, it''s completely over.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "departure, return to the palace."


    "Here it is


    Pang Tong responded and sent an order immediately.


    The procession began to March straight to the king of Chu''s palace.


    Along the way, countless people followed.


    Received on both sides, there are countless people watching.


    People like to watch the excitement, especially this time the miracles show, is not the same, attracting countless people''s attention.


    Originally, it didn''t take much time to go from the gate of the city to the palace of the king of Chu.


    But it''s been an hour and a half all the way.It can be said that it''s one step at a time.


    The speed of driving is as slow as a snail.


    Back in the palace of the king of Chu, the meteorite was transported into the palace, and Liu Xiu brought Pang Tong, Fazheng, Deng Zhan, Huang Hu and others to the hall.


    Liu Xiu looked at Fazheng and others and said, "this time, you have worked hard."


    Pang Tong said: "the king is serious. I don''t have to wait hard."


    The rest shook their heads.


    Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and said, "Deng Zhan, about the sacred stone, he arranged for the royal guards to spread all over the state of Chu. In addition, Cao Cao''s subordinates must spread the news and make it known to all. "


    "I understand


    Deng Zhan holds his fists.


    "Newspaper!"


    A servant came in and said, "king, Kuai Liang, Jia Xu, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others are here."


    "Xuan!"


    Liu Xiu directly ordered.


    A valet''s order.


    Soon, Kuai Liang, Jia Xu, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Yi Ji and Zhang Zhao entered the hall.


    Then Ma Chao, Sha Moco and others came.


    These people all entered the hall, which made the hall more crowded.


    As soon as they arrived, Zhang Zhongjing, Pang Degong, Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan and others came.


    Whether they were civil servants, or military generals, or even people from hospitals and academies, they all arrived.


    The hall suddenly became crowded.


    The only purpose of these people is to have a look at the stones falling from the sky.


    Liu Xiu looked at all the people he was looking forward to and said, "come on, let''s go and have a look at this sacred stone falling from the sky."


    In fact, Liu Xiu was also curious.


    With Liu Xiu as the first, all the generals followed out of the hall.


    Coming to the square outside the hall, Liu Xiu''s eyes fell on the God stone standing on the square.


    This stone is a meteorite from the sky.


    Liu Xiu brought everyone close and came to the meteorite.


    Pang Tong stood aside and said, "king, we all put our hands on the handprint of Shenshi. We don''t know what the handprint is for."


    Liu Xiu nodded. Standing in front of the stone, he felt an impulse to put his hand on the palm print.


    One man surrounded the stone, and everyone looked at it.


    It''s incredible to see such a stone.


    Even though some people know that "destiny lies in the Chu, Chu and Han Dynasties" is specially carved, the palmprint is lifelike, and even there are subtle veins on the palm, which cannot be carved.


    That''s the surprise.


    The more Liu Xiu looked at it, the more he felt he wanted to have a try.


    "I''ll have a try."


    Liu Xiu went to the front of the meteorite, raised his right hand and put his palm on the stone.


    A cold feeling, soaked in the palm.


    Although it''s cold, it''s not cold.

 Chapter 831

    "Chaka! Click


    All of a sudden, there was a crisp sound on this stone.


    Under everyone''s gaze, cracks appeared on the surface of the meteorite, which is more than one foot wide and two feet high.


    "Boom!"


    Suddenly, the stone burst open.


    After the stone broke, it was floating in the air, constantly moving.


    Liu Xiu felt very strange in his eyes.


    His hand is still in the air, has not been taken back, he was also in front of the scene scared.


    What''s going on?


    Liu Xiu''s mind was blank and dazed.


    All of a sudden, the stones in the air changed again, and formed eight characters.


    "Heaven''s destiny lies in Chu, and Chu and Han Dynasties prosper."


    Eight words made of stones, floating in the air.


    This scene is a miracle.


    Pang Tong, FA Zheng, Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao all knelt down in horror.


    All of them knelt down in front of Liu Xiu and were very devout. All of a sudden, everyone was in a daze and felt very strange.


    Everyone looked at Liu Xiu, and he was more devout.


    Originally, many of them knew that the argument that "destiny is in Chu" was false.


    But now, no one dare to say it is false.


    Zhou Yu is also looking at, he is also scared, completely scared.


    As for the natural disaster of Chu, Zhou Yu also lamented that Sun Quan died early and should bear it. But seeing the scene in front of me, I was completely frightened.


    Zhou Yu and others did the same, and so did the soldiers around them.


    The soldiers stationed outside the palace also looked at the scene.


    "Long live the king!"


    All of a sudden, there were soldiers shouting.


    "Long live the king!"


    "Long live the king!"


    The soldiers were shouting one after another.


    Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Pang Tong and others joined in, shouting long live the king.


    At the moment, Liu Xiu also recovered.


    Liu Xiu stares at the eight words in the sky. The eight words gradually become transparent, and finally turn into a spot of light and rain, and then enter Liu Xiu''s right hand.


    Everything, disappear.


    Everything, as if it had never happened.


    Profound!


    Rao is Liu Xiu''s third life, and he is also surprised by this scene.


    "Warring States System 1.0, bind host."


    A clear but indifferent voice sounded in Liu Xiu''s mind


    when Liu Xiu heard the voice, he looked around and didn''t see the rest of the people.


    Only soldiers and officials were heard shouting at him.


    "The Warring States system started, and issued the main task: the host became emperor within one month, and the success of the emperor was rewarded with ten mu of sweet potato seedlings. If it fails, the penalty will be a large-scale snow disaster. "


    In Liu Xiu''s mind, the sound of the system rang out.


    After all, Liu Xiu is the one who comes from the future.


    There is also a certain concept of intelligent system, but this one is too advanced.


    Liu Xiu tried to shout in his heart: "system!"


    "Go ahead, please."


    The voice of the system''s indifference rang out in Liu Xiu''s mind.


    Liu Xiu thought about the previous natural disasters and asked, "did you cause the tsunamis and earthquakes in the state of Chu?"


    The system said, "yes!"


    Liu Xiu''s heart is not good. This system is too cruel.


    But in the twinkling of an eye, Liu Xiu was attracted by ten acres of sweet potato seedlings.


    Once modern people knew the value of sweet potato seedlings. Once the seedlings were planted, countless sweet potatoes could be produced.


    Ten Mu seedling planting can definitely increase the yield by a hundred times or a thousand times.


    Liu Xiu asked again, but he didn''t figure out anything in the end.


    Maybe it''s because of 1.0. The Warring States system is very simple. It has no choice but to release the mission directly.


    Liu Xiu answered suspiciously.


    Then he looked at all the people kneeling on the ground and said, "get up."


    "Thank you, king."


    Everyone stands up.


    When they looked at Liu Xiu one by one, their eyes became more fanatical.


    Everyone witnessed the disappearance of the stone and the floating of the eight characters in the air.


    It''s amazing.


    Liu Xiu said, "the miracle has been completed. Let''s all go back."


    "Here it is


    Everyone had something on their mind and left.


    Liu Xiu went back to his study by himself. He tried to call in his heart again: "system."


    "Host!"


    The cold voice of the system rings again.


    Liu xiudao: "why is the name of the Warring States system?"


    The system replied, "the system level is too low, unknown."Liu Xiu''s mouth twitched slightly, and his face also looked helpless. It seems that the system deposited in him is also an undeveloped one.


    It''s just a matter of time.


    Liu Xiu thought of it in his heart.


    Now, Liu Xiu doesn''t know what to do.


    But at least it''s a good thing.


    His first task is to be emperor. After being emperor, there will be sweet potato seedlings, and then there will be food.


    Once sweet potato is popularized, great changes will take place in Chu.


    Liu Xiu carefully pondered over the situation of the system, and almost got a general understanding of it before he left the matter.


    What he has to do now is to be ready to become emperor.


    However, Liu Xiu did not immediately arrange, but wait for the news of Shenshi.


    In the next few days, the miracles of Shenshi continued to spread in the territory of Chu, and countless people knew the news.


    As for Kuai Liang, Ma Chao, Zhang Zhao, Sha Moke and other generals, they are even more unusual.


    Everyone witnessed the collapse and disappearance of Shenshi, and respected Liu Xiu even more.


    As if Liu Xiu had been the incarnation of heaven.


    On this day.


    Liu Xiu summoned Pang Tong, FA Zheng, Kuai Liang, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Jia Xu and Yi Ji.


    The people were sitting in the hall.


    Liu Xiu looked at the crowd and said, "gentlemen, public opinion is boiling now, and the people have recognized the state of Chu. What do you think of me as the emperor? "


    As soon as this remark came out, there was a burst of discussion.


    They all know the miracles that happened to Liu Xiu, and they all agree that Liu Xiu is blessed by heaven.


    However, recognition belongs to recognition, but we have to look at reality.


    Today, even if there are miracles, but the people are still based on Han characters, still respect Liu as the emperor.


    The emperor is Liu Xie.


    It''s a recognized thing.


    Once Liu Xiu became emperor, it was tantamount to overthrowing the orthodoxy of Liu Xie.


    This is easy to cause problems.


    Kuai Liang looked solemn and said, "king, it''s only a matter of time before you become emperor. But sooner or later, you are already the emperor in my heart. But now, I''m afraid we have to postpone the title of emperor. After defeating Cao Cao, it would be better for the emperor Liu xiechan to give way. "


    Zhang Zhao nodded and said, "I also agree with Mr. Kuai''s suggestion."


    It''s a big risk to call yourself emperor.


    Such things can be postponed if they can be postponed.


    But Fazheng said directly: "it''s really a matter of time before the king becomes emperor. Today, it''s a miracle that the people ascend the throne. Liu Xie is the blood of Liu, and the king is also the blood of Liu. Now that Liu Xie is a puppet, he can''t bear the heavy responsibility of ZTE Han Dynasty. It''s time for the king to step forward and ZTE Chu Han Dynasty. "


    When Liu Xiu becomes emperor, his officials will rise.


    At that time, it will be the real reward.


    Fazheng naturally didn''t want to miss such a thing, so he strongly hoped that Liu Xiu would become emperor. In particular, it is just right to be called emperor by the power of miracles.


    Pang Tong stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with the proposal of FA Xiaozhi."


    Zhou Yu said: "I also agree with the proposal of FA Xiaozhi."


    Liu Xiu looked at Jia Xu and said, "what''s your opinion, Mr. Jia?"


    Jia Xu said: "the king has been in charge of the state of Chu for a long time, and the people have recognized him. It can be said that to be emperor at this time is to be obedient to nature. Moreover, to be an emperor can also see who is unfaithful under the rule of the king. Take this opportunity to try it out. "


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he showed his approval.


    Jia Xu''s consideration is far-reaching.


    Take advantage of the claim to be emperor and try to find out the situation again.


    Liu Xiu took care of the people and said, "since most people agree, we are ready to be emperor. Kuai Liang listens to the order. "


    "I''m here!"


    Kuai Liang bowed his hand to reply.


    Liu Xiu said, "you should coordinate with the officials and be ready to be emperor. Half a month later, the king offered sacrifices to heaven and earth and ascended to the throne as emperor. "


    "Here it is


    Kuai Liang responded.


    Half a month is a bit hasty.


    But it''s not a big problem to be fully prepared.

 Chapter 832

    Kuai liang thought about it and said, "what is the name of a country to be established now?"


    Liu Xiu said directly, "Chu!"


    The prophecy mentioned that the destiny was in Chu.


    Even so, Liu Xiu''s choice must be Chu, and he could not use "Han" as his national name.


    Of course, it''s no surprise to call it Chuhan.


    When Kuai Liang heard the speech, he began to claim the title of emperor according to Liu Xiu''s idea.


    The next time, the whole state of Chu was busy.


    The officials of the state of Chu knew that Liu Xiu was about to become emperor, and the people also knew about this.


    Because of the God stone one day, the rebound of the people was very weak, and not many people criticized Liu Xiu in public opinion. Even if there were occasional accusations, they were soon drowned out by the call to be emperor.


    Half a month later, Liu Xiu offered sacrifices to heaven and earth on the altar outside the city and officially declared himself Emperor.


    Liu Xiu called himself Emperor and named his country "Chu" and "Chu Han".


    The news soon spread all over the country.


    When Liu Xiu finished offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, he took his ministers back to the palace.


    It''s no longer a palace, it''s a palace.


    Huang Yueying is no longer a queen, but a queen.


    As for the civil and military officials under Liu Xiu''s command, they were promoted in large quantities. The officials who should be promoted to the rank of nobility should be promoted to the rank of nobility, and the officials who should be granted the rank of marquis should be directly promoted to the rank of marquis.


    For the officials of Chu state, the benefits brought by Liu Xiu''s title of emperor were substantial.


    All the dust settled and gradually calmed down.


    While Liu Xiu was in the palace, his face looked like a curse.


    After he became emperor, he completed the systematic task of becoming emperor.


    However, the system indicates that the reward cannot be claimed.


    It''s November now. Once you get 10 mu sweet potato seedlings, all the seedlings will die because of the weather. Therefore, due to the weather, we have to wait until the time of planting.


    Such a reason, in Liu Xiu''s view, is simply a pit father. Make complaints about


    Liu''s mind, and think about it.


    The system is unreliable, but in short, it''s pretty good to have an extra plug-in.


    As for the real use of the Warring States system, he was not clear.


    We have to think about it again.


    ¡­¡­


    North, Xudu.


    In the palace.


    The emperor Liu Xie sat on the ceremony, with his uncle standing underneath.


    At the moment, Liu Xie looks angry.


    With an angry look on his face, he roared: "Fu Wan, is this Liu Xiu who was loyal to the great man? At the beginning, he vowed to be the king of diligence, but now he is the Emperor himself. The traitor, the traitor. "


    Fu Wan stood at the bottom with a bitter face.


    As a matter of fact, he was not surprised by Liu Xiu''s claim to be emperor.


    Liu Xiu is king.


    It''s a matter of time before we can be called emperor.


    Fu Wan sighed: "Your Majesty, we have no choice now. Cao Cao''s dog thief has trapped the palace. Even the imperial guards are Cao Cao''s men, and we can''t escape. "


    On hearing this, Liu Xie murmured, "uncle, do you think the thief Cao can be called emperor?"


    After listening, my heart clapped.


    Liu Xiu became emperor.


    What about Cao Cao?


    For a time, the heart that Fu finished also worries.


    Once Cao Cao was also called emperor, the consequences would be quite serious.


    How should Liu Xie deal with himself?


    Fu Wan sighed: "Your Majesty, it seems that we have to find a way out. Otherwise, your majesty will have no way back. "


    Liu Xie murmured: "what is the way out? The world of the Great Han Dynasty was divided up by Liu Xiu and Cao Cao. What else can we do now? There is no other way


    After listening to the words, I was silent.


    Today, although he is in a high position, in fact, he has no rights at all.


    Without military power and no one to follow, he could not help Liu Xie.


    They looked at each other speechless.


    Finally, Liu Xie choked.


    In the hall, only bursts of sobs remained.


    ¡­¡­


    Yecheng, in the palace of the king of Wei.


    Inside the main hall.


    Chen you, Xun ye, and other officials.


    Cheng Yu was hale and hearty. He said in a deep voice, "king, Liu Xiu has been called emperor. He named the country" Chu. "


    "In order to become emperor, Liu Xiu created auspicious omens and made a magic stone to say that it was a miracle."


    "However, according to the information sent back, there are eight words on the sacred stone:" Heaven''s destiny is in Chu, and the Chu and Han Dynasties prosper. "It is said that these eight words are true, and there is a lifelike hand print on the sacred stone."


    "Of course, I don''t believe it."


    "Liu Xiu always finds something we don''t know, and then creates miracles."


    At this point, Cheng Yu pause for a moment, and then said: "in addition, there are also some auspicious events in the territory of Chu. The emergence of these auspicious events rationalizes Liu Xiu''s claim to Emperor.""The reason why Liu Xiuzhi succeeded in becoming emperor without causing public indignation is that these miracles and auspicious signs played a role."


    "Now that Liu Xiu is the emperor, I think it''s time for the king to be the emperor."


    "If people no longer attach importance to the emperor, then the king can go further and become the emperor."


    Cheng Yu''s eyes are shining with fine light.


    When Cao Cao is called emperor, their status will also rise.


    Not only for themselves, but also for future generations.


    When Cao Cao heard the speech, he did not express his position, but looked at Xun Yu, Xun you and others. Xun Yu, in particular, is the focus of Cao Cao''s attention.


    Xun Yu was loyal to Cao Cao, but he was also loyal to the Han Dynasty.


    Once he wanted to be emperor, Xun Yu would fall into a dilemma and have a knot in his heart.


    Xun Yu did not speak.


    But Xunyou opened his mouth, and he echoed: "I suggest the king be emperor. Liu Xiu became the emperor of Chu. The king could not be short of Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu''s name was Chu, and Wang Wang''s name was Wei. But the king is not the real emperor, but the emperor''s abdication. "


    As soon as this remark came out, Xun Yu took a puff from the corner of his mouth.


    But Xun Yu didn''t refute.


    In today''s situation, Xun Yu also knew that it was impossible to stop Cao Cao.


    As soon as Xun you opened his mouth, the others echoed.


    Everyone agreed, and even Xun Yu didn''t express his opinion. Cao Cao''s face was satisfied.


    Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and said, "Wen Ruo, what do you think?"


    Xun Yu was in a bit of a dilemma. He opened his mouth and wanted to say nothing.


    All eyes fell on Xun Yu.


    But no one urged him.


    After a long time, Xun Yu said: "I also suggest the king to be emperor. The king wants to unite the hearts of the army and the people. Only when he becomes emperor can he not be inferior to Liu Xiu and compete with Liu Xiu. "


    Xun Yu felt it was against his will to say this.


    He didn''t quite agree.


    To fight against Liu Xiu, you don''t have to be emperor. You can have Liu Xie as the emperor.


    But Xun Yu knew it was unrealistic.


    Cao Cao will not make himself inferior to Liu Xiu.


    Therefore, Xun Yu could only persuade Cao Cao to be emperor against his will.


    Cao Cao understood Xun Yu''s heart. It was the limit that Xun Yu could say so. His eyes fell on Cheng Yu and said, "Duke Zhong De, I''ll give you the title of emperor. Deal with it as soon as possible, and make a decision before the end of the year. "


    "Here it is


    Cheng Yu bowed his hand to answer.


    At this time, Cheng Yu is also excited.


    Cao Cao''s handing over such matters to him shows that he is highly valued.

 Chapter 833

    It took Cheng Yu only half a month to prepare for Cao Cao''s becoming emperor.


    Liu Xie also moved from Xu Chang to Yecheng.


    When everything was ready, Liu Xie personally offered sacrifices to heaven, and Zen was located in Cao Cao.


    In front of the officials of the state of Wei, Cao Cao offered sacrifices to heaven and called the state Wei.


    Cao Cao became the emperor of the Wei state, and his officials were naturally rewarded wantonly.


    The officials who should be promoted, the Marquis who should be granted, the reward who should be given


    Because of this, Cao Cao''s people are united.


    After Cao Cao became emperor, he entered the end of December.


    This year is about to pass.


    The influence of Cao Cao''s claim to be emperor was that the two emperors kept abreast of each other and fought for the best in the world.


    Everyone knows that Cao Cao and Liu Xiu still have a fight.


    Towards the end of the year, especially when he had just become emperor, Cao Cao was very busy, almost too busy to touch the ground. However, Liu Xiu, who is located in Xiangyang, has no influence and is still quite relaxed.


    Because most of the government affairs were delegated by Liu Xiu to Kuai Liang and others.


    Kuai Liang, Zhang Zhao and others were very happy with this situation.


    It is the best condition for the king to delegate power and the ministers to display their ambition.


    However, at the end of the new year, there are too many things.


    The promotion and adjustment of relevant officials, the annual review of grain, the verification of taxes, the preparation of farming matters


    One by one, Kuai Liang, Zhang Zhao and others were almost too busy.


    Even though there are assistant officials around each of them, they are not enough.


    In the Yamen.


    Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Jia Xu and Yi Ji came to Kuai Liang''s office.


    Jia Xu was old, and his face was full of fatigue. He said: "Mr. Kuai, I''m too busy these days. I stayed up late every day and came home early the next morning. If it goes on like this, the old bone will fall apart. It''s a good thing for the king to delegate power to us, but we can''t afford it in the long run. In my opinion, I have to find a way. "


    Now Jia Xu is no longer young.


    He worked in the government all day long, tired and dazzled.


    Yi Ji is also getting older. He sighs: "it''s too hard for us to get up earlier than chickens and sleep later than dogs. If it goes on like this, it won''t work. Brother zirou, we have to learn from the king. You see, it''s the end of the year. It''s time for you to play and relax. It''s us. It''s too hard. "


    Kuai Liang listened to Jia Xu and Yi Ji''s words with a bitter smile.


    Once upon a time, when Liu Xiu did not inherit Jingzhou, they were all very idle.


    Some people even find it hard to reach their ambitions.


    Now I have something to do and energy to do, but I''m too busy.


    Lu Su said, "Mr. Kuai, can we have a division of labor within us?"


    Kuai Liang shook his head and said, "we have a division of labor, but there are too many things. The big and small things come to us. In this way, it is always difficult to solve the problem of busy affairs. "


    Zhou Yu sat still and did not speak.


    Today, he also holds the power and becomes the most important official of Chu.


    He is also very busy.


    It''s just that Zhou Yu thinks it''s too busy.


    Of course, Zhou Yu did not speak. After all, he surrendered.


    Zhang Zhao, too, sat aside and did not speak.


    Jia Xu looked at Kuai Liang and said, "Mr. Kuai, I want to say one more thing. At least we had a rest in the evening. Some of the assistant officials who were busy with us had stayed up for several nights. This is not the way to go on. "


    They have a lot of opinions.


    After hearing this, Kuai Liang said, "I agree with your suggestions."


    "Just, how to solve it?"


    "A solution must be worked out and reported to the king."


    "Otherwise, it''s just complaining to the king."


    As the head of several officials, Kuai Liang knew how to report to Liu Xiu.


    If you just complain, you can''t help being criticized by Liu Xiu.


    However, if you come up with a solution and then talk to Liu Xiu about things, things will be easier to solve and will not be severely criticized by Liu Xiu.


    When they heard the words, they all thought carefully.


    People have to speak freely and think about solutions to such things.


    Jia Xu said, "Mr. Kuai, I have an idea."


    Kuai Liang said, "what do you think of Wen He Gong Gong?"


    Jia Xu said: "look at the king, he is very relaxed, just dealing with the things we have read. Some small things, or unimportant things, will not be presented to the king. "


    "That being the case, why don''t we delegate the power to specific matters."


    "We also delegate power."


    "For example, what situ wants to do, what Taiwei wants to do, what Taichang wants to do..."


    "Everything goes down.""Then the important things are handed over to us and decided by several of us."


    "It''s so much easier."


    "As for the classification of a matter, it is the matter of the following people."


    "From the top down, it''s organized."


    Jia Xu put forward his suggestion with a smile on his face.


    the official position of the Great Han Dynasty was that the emperor has the final say, and most of the events were made by the emperor.


    However, Liu Xiu''s decentralization changed the situation.


    So many things are different.


    Moreover, the state of Chu has just been established, and many official posts are vacant, which is also in a preliminary stage.


    After hearing Jia Xu''s words, Yi Ji immediately echoed: "I agree with Wen Hegong''s suggestion. We can''t be so tired. We have to delegate power. We''re just people who make decisions and leave the rest to someone else. "


    This proposal was echoed by all.


    After hearing this, Kuai liang thought about it carefully and said, "well, I''m going to see the king. Please make up my mind."


    "Good!"


    Jia Xu laughed when he heard the speech.


    He believed Liu Xiu could understand them. As long as things were arranged properly, they would not keep busy.


    Kuai Liang left Jia Xu and went directly to the palace.


    Liu Xiu''s palace is the original Chu palace, there is no change.


    To say the change, it''s just more soldiers patrolling.


    After the NEISHI informed him, Kuai Liang met Liu Xiu in the main hall, bowed his hand and said, "minister Kuai Liang, I''d like to see your majesty."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Kuai Qing, sit down!"


    When the attendant put on his seat, Kuai Liang sat down and said straight to the point, "Your Majesty, the reason why I''m here this time is that Chen, Jia Xu, Zhang Zhao and other six people think that there are too many government affairs to handle normally, which leads to many government affairs being detained. Chen and others believe that reasonable adjustments are needed to avoid administrative detention. "


    Liu Xiu asked, "how to adjust?"


    Kuai Liang replied: "divide the government affairs into different categories, and assign special personnel to take charge of them. For example, the affairs of situ, the affairs of Taiwei, the mobilization of troops, and so on, are all handled by special personnel. "


    "Then, after the preliminary treatment by them, it will be handed over to the minister and other six people."


    "It''s up to the king to decide."


    Kuai Liang said, "Wenhe Gong is so tired that he can hardly hold on."


    Liu Xiu frowned slightly after listening.


    It seems that the current official system can not meet the accumulation of government affairs.


    Because too many things are left to Kuai Liang and other six people, they are already too busy.


    "Host, trigger branch task. The cabinet and six ministries should be set up to establish a reasonable official system. If you succeed in a task, you will be rewarded with 1000 Jin pumpkin seeds; if you fail in a task, there will be no punishment. "


    The sound of the system suddenly rang out in Liu Xiu''s mind.


    At the same time, information from the cabinet and the six ministries also poured into Liu Xiu''s mind.


    After Liu Xiu accepted the message, a smile appeared on his face.


    This time I earned a thousand jin of pumpkin seeds, which is a real bumper harvest.

 Chapter 834

    Kuai Liang looks at Liu Xiu and is surprised to see that Liu Xiu suddenly smiles.


    Is his words funny?


    Or Liu Xiu has come up with a better solution.


    Kuai Liang said, "it''s a matter of great importance. Please make a decision."


    Liu Xiu said, "I will arrange your affairs. These days, you can bear it for a while. In a few days, I will announce a specific adjustment plan. "


    "Here it is


    Kuai Liang responded.


    But Kuai Liang has doubts in his heart.


    How will officials be adjusted?


    But since Liu Xiu had decided, Kuai Liang could not ask again.


    He left Liu Xiu alone in the hall.


    Liu Xiu took pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and transcribed the information given by the system to the cabinet and the six ministers according to his mind.


    Liu Xiu was in a bit of a dilemma when it came to the personnel of the six Shangshu.


    To arrange so many people, Liu Xiu''s official reserves are still insufficient.


    In Liu Xiu''s view, the number of cabinet members will remain unchanged, with six people, Kuai Liang, Zhang Zhao, Lu Su, Zhou Yu, Yi Ji and Jia Xu still serving as the cabinet members, and there will be no adjustment.


    However, it is not easy to arrange officials from the Ministry of rites, the Ministry of officials, the Ministry of household, the Ministry of work, the Ministry of punishment and the Ministry of arms.


    The officials of the six ministries are closely related.


    Liu Xiuluo made a list, but there are still not enough officials under his command.


    Unless the division of each army comes back.


    But now it''s wartime, and the world is not yet unified, so Liu Xiu can''t transfer the military division back. Moreover, Liu Xiuzhi set up the army in order to clamp down on the power of the generals and control the army.


    Once a military division is transferred, the general of the army will dominate.


    Therefore, it is impossible to transfer the military division of each army.


    The only way is to promote the rest of the people and make them ministers of the ministries.


    Liu Xiu thought about the arrangement of personnel.


    He listed the six parts and filled in their names, but he was not satisfied with them after he altered them several times.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a waiter came in quickly.


    With a thick look of joy on his face, the waiter said excitedly, "congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty."


    Liu Xiu was also curious when he saw the look of the waiter.


    He knew the servant in front of him. He was from Queen Huang Yueying''s palace.


    Liu Xiu asked, "what''s the matter?"


    The servant replied, "tell your majesty that sun Guiren, Ma Guiren and Shi Guiren are pregnant at the same time."


    The nobleman is the emperor''s concubine.


    This is a level of concubines in the harem.


    After Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty established the state, he reformed the hierarchy of the Imperial Palace, and set up empresses, nobles, beauties, maids and Cainv.


    Liu Xiu ascended the throne as emperor, and the queen was Huang Yueying.


    Shi Xuan, Ma Yunlu and sun Shangxiang are all noble women.


    Now, she''s pregnant at the same time. It''s really good news that three women are pregnant at the same time.


    With joy in his heart, he stood up and said, "let''s go to the harem." When he went out, he just came to the door, suddenly stopped, looked at the servants around him, and said, "inform Kuai liang of the news, and let them have a good time."


    "Here it is


    I''ll send someone to deliver the letter.


    Liu Xiu went to the harem.


    At this time, sun Shangxiang, Shi Xuan and Ma Yunlu were all in Huang Yueying''s palace.


    The three goddesses are extremely happy.


    After following Liu Xiu for so many years, I finally got pregnant.


    Liu Xiu came to the hall, looked at the three happy women, with a smile on his face, and said: "Chu Guo Gang Li, now you are pregnant, and you are still three happy. Well, well, it''s a great joy. "


    Huang Yueying said with a smile, "Congratulations, your majesty."


    For Shi Xuan and others, Huang Yueying is actually a little sorry. Because of Liu Zhen, they are still pregnant.


    Sun Shangxiang, Shi Xuan and Ma Yunlu are all very old.


    A few more years would be too much.


    Now being able to conceive a child has solved a problem.


    Shixuan turned her eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you think I have a son or a daughter? If my concubine is pregnant with a daughter, you can''t abandon it. "


    Liu xiudao: "like, like, and daughter intimate, daughter better."


    Ma Yunlu and sun Shangxiang are also happy.


    Liu Xiu asked, "why did they all meet? It was found out at the same time


    Huang Yueying explained: "the three sisters came to chat with me here. While they were chatting, Shangxiang''s sister suddenly felt sick and was very sick. My concubine asked the imperial doctor to check Shangxiang''s younger sister. Unexpectedly, I found out the pulse of joy. "


    "At that time, I thought that sister Xuan and sister Yunlu were also there, so I stopped by to check. I didn''t expect that they were all pregnant."


    "Now, when three younger sisters are pregnant, the Liu family is finally spreading its branches and leaves."Huang Yueying has a smile on her face.


    As Liu Xiu''s women, Huang Yueying and Shi Xuan have little intrigue.


    Several women get along well.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu told him: "since we are all pregnant with children, we should avoid food and take good care of it. Especially Shang Xiang, now that she is pregnant with a child, don''t practice sword and martial arts any more. "


    "I understand."


    Sun Shangxiang responded with a bright smile on his face.


    Suddenly, Shi Xuan broke in and said, "Your Majesty, when we were chatting with the Queen''s sister today, the servant came back to report that zhen''er had the upper hand in the battle with the soldiers in the military camp. Zhen''er is smart and quick, but he really follows his majesty. "


    When Huang Yueying heard the speech, she also had a smile on her face.


    It''s the most appropriate thing to say from Shi Xuan''s mouth.


    If Huang Yueying said that, it is inevitable that he would be suspected of boasting.


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he also gave a smile and said, "zhen''er, you have some abilities. Before the dandy mischievous, are spoiled by you. Now he is training in the military camp, and in the evening he is taught by Mr. Sima. He will grow very fast. "


    Several female smell speech, smile the praise of Xi Xi.


    After spending half a day in the harem, Liu Xiu got up and left.


    Out of the harem, Liu Xiu called Huang Hu and left with him for the lumen Academy.


    Liu Xiu went to lumen academy to visit Zhuge Liang.


    Once upon a time, when Liu Xiu defeated Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang refused to become an official and was willing to teach in lumen Academy.


    But Liu Xiu believed that Zhuge Liang was talented and would not be willing to be lonely.


    Now the state of Chu is in urgent need of talents. It''s time to invite Zhuge Liang out of the mountain.


    There was no road for Liu Xiu to enter the Academy, and his group were also light and simple, all dressed in ordinary clothes, so they did not cause a sensation.


    Liu Xiu went to pound''s office first.


    In the room.


    Seeing Liu Xiu, Pang Degong bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty."


    Liu xiudao: "teachers don''t have to be polite. Sit down."


    Take your seat.


    "What can I do for your majesty?" said pound


    Liu Xiu said, "to tell you the truth, I''m here to see Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang is a talented person. It would be a pity if he stayed in the academy all the time. "


    When pound heard the speech, he nodded in agreement.


    Zhuge Liang is a disciple of Pang Degong. He also hopes Zhuge Liang can show his talent.


    People like Zhuge Liang should not be buried.


    Lord pound asked, "what do you need me to do, your majesty?"


    Liu xiudao said, "please help me and bring Zhuge Liang to your office. I''ll have a talk with Zhuge Liang alone."


    Mr. pound nodded and got up to arrange.


    After a simple conversation with Pang Degong, Liu Xiu didn''t stay long, so he left directly, leaving Liu Xiu in the room.


    Time goes by.


    Suddenly, a sound of footsteps from far to near.


    A middle-aged man, eight feet long, with a face like jade and a sword eyebrow, came in.


    This man is Zhuge Liang.


    Today''s Zhuge Liang, after many vicissitudes, is more calm and wise.


    When he saw Liu Xiu, his face was a little surprised, but he soon recovered his calm and said, "grassroots Zhuge Liang, meet your majesty."

 Chapter 835

    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhuge, sit down!"


    Seeing Zhuge Liang again, Liu Xiu''s eyes also flashed a touch of surprise.


    After precipitation, Zhuge Liang is more elegant.


    Once Zhuge Liang, to Liu Xiu''s feeling is sharp will show, aggressive. Today''s Zhuge Liang, under the baptism of tribulation and years, cleans the lead, is as gentle as jade, and is more sharp and introverted.


    Pick up Zhuge Liang''s robe and sit down.


    Seeing Liu Xiu again, Zhuge Liang is as calm as water on the surface.


    His heart, however, is also a mixture of five flavors.


    The mood is a little complicated.


    Zhuge Liang was hostile to Liu Xiu at first.


    Because he didn''t want to choose Liu Xiu, and he didn''t want to work with Pang Tong. He wanted to find someone who could give full play to his talent.


    Therefore, Zhuge Liang chose Liu Bei.


    It just failed in the end.


    He became a loser, completely lost to pangtong.


    Zhuge Liang also heard about the miracles before.


    Zhuge Liang also inquired about this matter.


    Ordinary people can only watch the excitement.


    However, Zhuge Liang had a channel to know the truth, especially when so many people witnessed it.


    At that time, Zhuge Liang felt that the destiny was in Chu.


    Zhuge Liang even doubted whether he had done something wrong.


    With the passage of time, the miracles gradually faded, and Liu Xiu also ascended the throne, Zhuge Liang knew that an era had come.


    The era of belonging to Liu Xiu has come.


    All his thoughts were faded, and he was absorbed in teaching and educating people.


    But unexpectedly, Liu Xiu came to him.


    Liu Xiu said straight to the point: "I''m here to invite Mr. Zhuge out of the mountain. I hope Mr. Zhuge can help me."


    Zhuge Liang said: "under your Majesty''s command, there are talented scholars such as Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Lu Su, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Ma Liang, Jia Xu, Kuai Liang and Fazheng, and generals such as Huang Hu, Zhao Yun, Wen pin, Zhang Ya, Ma Chao, Zhang Ren and Huang Zhong."


    "It can be said that your majesty has a lot of talents."


    "In today''s court, there is not much more Zhuge Liang than there is Zhuge Liang."


    "Your Majesty, why do you ask the grassroots?"


    Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said, "please forgive me. The grassroots are only willing to teach and educate in the Academy."


    The words are neither humble nor overbearing.


    In front of Liu Xiu, Zhuge Liang never lowered his demeanor.


    He is always Zhuge Liang.


    Liu Xiu looked at Zhuge Liang. Since he came to ask Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain, he naturally had patience and said, "Kong Ming, when it comes to talents, no matter which monarch in the past dynasties, he will not despise more talents."


    "Only when the sea admits hundreds of rivers can rivers converge."


    "When I established my country and became emperor, there were not only Jia Xu and Pang Tong, but also Huang Hu and Huang Zhong."


    "However, there is still a lack of talent."


    "Especially people like you, Zhuge Liang."


    Liu Xiu said, "today, Kuai Liang found me. He said that he was too busy to touch the ground. He was too tired to bear it."


    "At the beginning of Chu''s establishment, a hundred wastes are waiting for prosperity."


    "Especially at the end of the new year, there are more things to do, which can be described as a myriad of things."


    "At this time, we need a lot of talents."


    "In particular, we need talents who can take charge of the overall situation independently."


    "You Zhuge Liang is such a person."


    "So I hope you can get out of the mountain."


    Liu Xiu said, "Kong Ming, it''s time for you to get out of the mountain."


    For Zhuge Liang''s post, Liu Xiu has already considered it properly. As long as Zhuge Liang comes out of the mountain, he is at least one of the six Shangshu.


    Zhuge Liang heard the speech, but fell into silence.


    Zhuge Liang did not immediately refuse.


    Liu Xiu saw this, but his eyes were bright, and there was a look of hope in his eyes.


    As long as Zhuge Liang does not refuse directly, he will have a chance.


    Liu Xiu struck while the iron was hot and continued: "when it comes to talent, you don''t belong to Shiyuan, you don''t belong to anyone under my command. But are you willing to do so? "


    "Kong Ming, you are a smart man. You can see the situation clearly."


    "The general trend of the world today is gradually becoming clear."


    "The state of Chu in our country has taken on a dominant position."


    "Although Cao Cao''s occupation of the North was strong, it was already at the end of the storm and could not resist Chu''s invasion."


    "In the end, the state of Chu must win."


    Liu Xiu expounded the general trend of the world.


    In today''s situation, Liu Xiu is confident that he can destroy Cao Cao.


    What''s more, he somehow got a warring states system. Although this system is sometimes unreliable, with the grain seeds of the system, there will be tremendous changes under Liu Xiu''s command.


    In this era, food is the most basic and important material.With food, we have the capital to fight.


    Liu Xiu continued: "the general trend of the world is mysterious, and even more remote."


    "Take the near."


    "You are a famous family in Langya, and you have been a great scholar and a high official in your ancestors. You can be said to be a great family."


    "Up to now, Zhuge has no outstanding people."


    "You are very talented. You can revitalize Zhuge family and make Zhuge family brilliant again."


    "However, they are willing to be insipid."


    "Kong Ming, who are you worthy of doing this?"


    "Are you worthy of Liu Bei? No, Liu Bei doesn''t need you? You gave Liu Bei too much, on the contrary, Liu Bei did not give you any benefits, did not let you show your strengths


    "You''re sorry. It''s your parents. It''s your ancestors."


    "And your children."


    "You can bring honor to your parents and ancestors, and make a good life for future generations."


    "But you insist."


    Liu Xiu said: "Kong Ming, you are not a child, you are a thoughtful person, you know what to do and what not to do. I think you should be able to figure it out. "


    Liu Xiu also made great efforts to persuade Zhuge Liang.


    Nowadays, it is hard to persuade Zhuge Liang to use fame and wealth.


    People like Zhuge Liang can only move Zhuge Liang with his insight.


    Liu Bei is dead. Liu Bei has nothing to do with Zhuge Liang.


    Those who have something to do with Zhuge Liang are his relatives.


    So Liu Xiu took Zhuge Liang''s relatives as a breakthrough point.


    At the moment, Zhuge Liang is even more silent. There was a dignified look on his face. He rubbed his hands on his knees.


    At this time, Liu Xiu did not speak any more.


    All that has to be said has been said.


    Zhuge Liang is an independent person. He knows what to do and what not to do.


    Liu Xiu also believes that Zhuge Liang will make a satisfactory decision.


    Zhuge Liang is really anxious at the moment.


    He was a bit embarrassed, but he was also a bit moved.


    Time goes by little.


    Liu Xiu did not urge him to sit quietly, waiting for Zhuge Liang''s reply.


    A quarter of an hour!


    Half an hour passed.


    The room is quiet, even the atmosphere is a little depressed.


    It''s outside the room.


    Pang Degong, Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan are all together.


    These three people are all familiar with Zhuge Liang, and they are all Zhuge Liang''s elders. They all hope Zhuge Liang will be well.


    Sima Hui said: "it''s been more than half an hour, and I don''t know what they said. It hasn''t come out yet."


    Pound said with a smile, "it''s good news if you don''t come out, and it''s good news if you don''t have any news. It''s not out yet, which means there''s still a chance. "


    Huang Chengyan said with emotion: "Kong Ming is old and big. It''s time to become an official. At present, the Chu state has just been established, and a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived. When Kong Ming joined at this time, he could be directly appointed and get important support. If we miss this opportunity, it will take a lot of twists and turns for Kongming to enter the state of Chu after everything has been put into operation. It''s a chance. It won''t come again


    Pang Degong nodded and said, "brother Huang is right. This is the last chance."


    Three people chatting, quietly waiting.


    Up to now, they can''t get involved. They can only hope that there will be a good result in the end. They hope that Zhuge Liang can enter the state of Chu as an official.


    In the room.


    Zhuge Liang took a deep breath.


    He thought a lot, and he thought for a long time.


    During this period, Zhuge Liang also observed the change of Liu Xiu''s manner, and was quite moved to see that Liu Xiuquan had no impatience.


    Zhuge Liang''s eyes became firm.


    He stood up with a decision in mind.


    With his hands closed, Zhuge Liang saluted and said, "I am willing to become an official. I''d like to meet your majesty, Zhuge Liang. "


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu gave a smile.


    After waiting for more than half an hour, I finally arrived.

 Chapter 836

    With Zhuge Liang''s consent, Liu Xiu was also very excited. He looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Kong Ming, about your arrangement, next, I plan to let you serve as Minister of the Ministry of punishment."


    "Minister of punishment?"


    When Zhuge Liang heard the speech, he had some doubts.


    As an official family, he was very clear about the situation of the court officials.


    The largest officials in the court are Sangong, followed by Jiuqing, and then other officials.


    Theoretically speaking, the three princes and nine ministers are the real powerful official positions.


    Now Liu Xiu has just established his country and lacks talents. With his ability and qualifications, Liu Xiu, at least as a nine Qing, should be reused.


    But he didn''t know about the Secretary of the Ministry of punishment.


    This is the first time Zhuge Liang has heard of it.


    Seeing Zhuge Liang''s doubts, Liu Xiu explained: "I will reform the situation in the DPRK. Specifically, instead of setting up three ministers and nine ministers, we should set up a cabinet and six ministries. "


    "There are six people in the cabinet, who are in charge of the state of Chu."


    "Under the cabinet, there are six."


    "The six parts are the Ministry of officials, the Ministry of rites, the Ministry of household, the Ministry of punishment, the Ministry of work and the Ministry of war."


    "The six chief officials are collectively referred to as" the book of history. "


    "Specifically speaking, it is. I intend to..."


    Liu Xiu explained to Zhuge Liang.


    According to the information given by the system, Liu Xiu did not miss a word.


    After hearing this, Zhuge Liang felt astonished. Because Liu Xiu''s reform division is very clear, which really defines the duties of each ministry.


    He looked at Liu Xiu, but suddenly he sighed.


    All along, Zhuge Liang has been proud of his talent.


    In the end, he suddenly found that Liu Xiu had outstanding talent, and he never won Liu Xiu.


    Whether it''s the ability to recognize people or to fight.


    He was defeated by Liu Xiu.


    Zhuge Liang took a deep breath, suppressed the confusion in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, what about the members of the cabinet? Although the six ministries are clear, what is the relationship between the members of the cabinet, the chief ministers and the assistant ministers, and the six ministers? "


    Liu Xiu explained clearly the situation of the six departments.


    However, the relationship between the cabinet and the six ministries is somewhat vague.


    Liu Xiu explained: "the six members of the cabinet are in charge of the affairs of the whole world."


    "Now, I have decided the people directly."


    "When the cabinet comes into operation, anyone who wants to join the cabinet must at least have the qualification to serve as a minister."


    "Otherwise, no cabinet membership will be allowed."


    "The rank of the first and second ministers of the cabinet is higher than that of the six ministers. However, the rest of the cabinet is on a par with the six ministers. "


    Liu Xiu explained.


    However, it is only theoretically true that cabinet members and six ministers are equal.


    Invisible, or slightly higher.


    After all, the members of the cabinet were selected from the six ministers.


    After listening, Zhuge Liang thought about things carefully.


    According to Liu Xiu''s arrangement, he will be in charge of the Ministry of punishment, which is a key one. Although the Ministry of punishment does not have as much power as the Ministry of officials and the Ministry of household, and it does not have so much power, it should not be underestimated that the Ministry of punishment has the right to convict.


    The more Zhuge Liang thought, the more promising he felt.


    Such a book is definitely worth it.


    He folded his hands, arched his hands and said, "Your Majesty is gracious. I will do my best."


    "Just wait for your words."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Kong Ming, go and hand over what you are doing, and get in as soon as possible."


    "Here it is


    Zhuge Liang responded.


    Immediately, Zhuge Liang said goodbye.


    When he walked out of the room, he saw Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui standing outside.


    Zhuge Liang''s heart warmed when he saw the three people''s concern.


    No matter how he is or what he has done in the past, the three teachers always care about him.


    This is his teacher.


    More like his father.


    Zhuge Liang was deeply moved. He folded his hands and bent 90 degrees to salute Mr. pound. He solemnly said, "Mr. Pang, Mr. Huang and Mr. Sima, my disciples chose to serve for your majesty."


    "Well, well, that''s a good thing, man."


    Pound put a big smile on his wrinkled face.


    Zhuge Liang lived in Jingzhou and studied in lumen mountain.


    Both Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang were his disciples.


    Liu Bei''s death was a great blow to Zhuge Liang.


    Defeat in the hands of Liu Xiu also made Zhuge Liang extremely decadent.


    Now, Zhuge Liang came out, and pound was pleased from the bottom of his heart.


    Sima Hui stroked his beard under his jaw with a soft smile and said, "Kong Ming is outstanding in learning and wisdom. I believe you, no matter where you are, you won''t lose to anyone. ""It''s a little late, but it''s just the right time," Huang said


    When Zhuge Liang listened to the instructions of the three teachers, his eyes suddenly became moist.


    Since Liu Bei died, he returned to Xiangyang and taught in lumen Academy. Apart from instructing Shizi to study, he kept his door closed and had little contact with Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and others.


    It''s not that we don''t know what to say when we meet.


    Now, hearing the concerned words of the three teachers, his mind is full of mixed feelings.


    He felt even more wrong.


    It shouldn''t be so low.


    Zhuge Liang perked up and said, "I will work hard and I won''t let the three teachers down. Your majesty is still in the room. I will leave first. "


    "Well!"


    Pound and others nodded.


    Three people looking at Zhuge Liang''s back, all feel gratified.


    When Zhuge Liang became an official, they also lost one worry.


    Pang Degong and others entered the room, saluted Liu Xiu and sat down.


    Pound said: "Your Majesty''s persuading Kong Ming to become an official is a wonderful move. After such a long time, he finally figured it out. This time, thanks to your majesty. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "the teacher is serious."


    As soon as the words changed, Liu Xiu said, "this time I come to the Academy, I will not only find Kong Ming, but also my father-in-law and Mr. Sima."


    Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui were shocked when they heard the speech.


    The two have been in the Academy, helping pound find out the truth.


    Now that Liu Xiu has found them, what can he do?


    Huang Chengyan said, "what''s the matter with your majesty?"


    Sima Hui thought about Liu Zhen''s affairs and said tentatively, "Your Majesty, is it about Mr. Zhen?"


    What has something to do with him can only be about Liu Zhen.


    Pang Degong also looked at Liu Xiu. He didn''t know what Liu Xiu''s intention was?


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "this time I come to the Academy, in addition to inviting Kong Ming to become an official, I also hope that my father-in-law and Mr. Sima will become an official together."


    "The state of Chu has just been set up, and there are too many things to deal with."


    "It is difficult for Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others to deal with the current affairs."


    "So I need the help of my father-in-law and Mr. Sima."


    Liu Xiu looked at Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui. His eyes were full of expectation. He asked, "what do you mean?"


    Huang Chengyan was confused when he heard the speech.


    Once upon a time, Liu Xiu wanted Huang Chengyan to become an official, but Huang was used to being idle and unwilling to be an official.


    Sima Hui is the same.


    But now, Liu Xiu directly let them become officials.


    The news came so suddenly that they were not even prepared.

 Chapter 837

    Huang Chengyan thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, why do you suddenly want me to become an official? I haven''t been an official for many years. I''m afraid it''s not appropriate and difficult for me to adapt when I suddenly become an official. "


    Sima Hui also said: "Your Majesty, the same is true of the old."


    Now Sima Hui has to teach Liu Zhen, and the academy is very busy.


    If you become an official, your life will be disrupted immediately.


    Looking at Liu Xiu, Pang Degong was also curious.


    Liu Xiu wanted Zhuge Liang to become an official. He strongly supported him.


    Now, Liu Xiu is surprised to let Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui become officials.


    Liu Xiuse said: "teacher, father-in-law, Mr. Sima, now that the state of Chu has just been established, it needs a lot of talents to fill in, and it needs more people to be in charge."


    "Teachers should take charge of the academy to ensure that there is no trouble in the Academy."


    "So, the teacher can''t move."


    "The only ones who can help me are my father-in-law and Mr. Sima."


    Liu Xiu looked at them with a look of expectation in his eyes.


    It is obviously not enough just to be Zhuge Liang.


    Pull Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui, to meet.


    Huang Chengyan frowned, but he was still reluctant. It''s not that he didn''t want to help Liu Xiu. It''s just that he didn''t become an official and didn''t know about the situation of the imperial court.


    Suddenly let him go, also don''t know the way.


    Huang Chengyan said: "Your Majesty, I really don''t know the way."


    Liu xiudao: "father-in-law, don''t worry. What I want you to do must be something that you can take advantage of."


    "My father-in-law is good at classics and is familiar with classic books."


    "But what my father-in-law is good at is organ manufacturing. Yueying''s skills are inherited from her father-in-law."


    "After his father-in-law becomes an official, he will serve as Minister of the Ministry of industry."


    Referring to the Ministry of industry, Liu Xiu immediately explained the division of the six ministries and the situation of the cabinet.


    After expounding it all over again, Liu Xiu said: "the Ministry of work is different from the Ministry of officials and the Ministry of household. It is a technology-based organization. My father-in-law must be able to stand up and quickly sort out the work department for me. "


    After hearing this, Huang Chengyan thought for a moment and said, "it''s all right, I promise."


    "Thank you, father-in-law!"


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, a smile appeared on his face.


    With Huang Chengyan, the rest of Sima Hui will be much easier.


    Liu Xiu looked at Sima Hui and said, "where''s Mr. Sima?"


    Sima Hui said, "if I become an official, which one will I be responsible for?"


    Compared with Huang Chengyan''s arrangement, Sima Hui believes that Liu Xiu''s official position will not be lower than Huang Chengyan''s.


    Liu Xiuse said: "Mr. Sima became an official and held the post of minister of rites."


    "Mr. Wang is a person who is familiar with classics and is better at teaching and educating people."


    "In particular, sir is very proficient in propriety and righteousness."


    "With Mr. Sima in charge of the rites department, the rites and righteousness of the Chu state can be settled, and it won''t be in a mess."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Mr. Sima, the Ministry of rites is relatively simple. It''s not busy all day, and it doesn''t need to communicate with officials. I also ask Mr. Sima to help me


    When Pang Degong heard this, he was very happy for Sima Hui.


    He looked at Sima Hui and nodded secretly, suggesting that Sima Hui would take over.


    According to Liu Xiugang, future cabinet members, at least as a minister, can enter the cabinet.


    Even if Sima Hui could not join the cabinet in the future, it would be enough.


    When you retire, it''s great to be in the cabinet.


    After thinking for a while, Sima Hui nodded his head and said, "Your Majesty is gracious to invite me. I''ll do it."


    "Well, with the help of my father-in-law and Mr. Sima, I''m not worried."


    Liu Xiu''s face was full of bright smile.


    A big deal was finally solved.


    With Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan and Zhuge Liang, the six Ministry officials solved three problems.


    Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "I have to deal with other things, so I won''t stay long. Teacher, father-in-law and Mr. Sima, please hand over the matter and wait for the formal appointment. "


    They nodded and got up to send Liu Xiu away.


    After Liu Xiu left, the three returned to the room.


    At this time, a college teacher came in and whispered a word to Lord pound.


    After listening, pound looked surprised, and then waved his hand to let the teacher quit.


    Huang Chengyan saw something wrong and asked, "brother Pang, what happened?"


    Sima Hui also looked at pound.


    "I just got the news that sun Guiren, Ma Guiren and Shi Guiren were pregnant at the same time," Pang explained. Now your majesty has a new heir. "


    In classical Chinese, Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui''s faces changed slightly.


    Both of them are people who have gone through wind and rain. They know the consequences of the pregnancy of the three noble people in the harem.


    Pound said: "now your majesty is called emperor, although zhen''er is the eldest son, but after the throne of son of the world was abolished, now there is no prince.""Such a situation is unfavorable to zhen''er."


    "Especially when the three noble women in the harem are pregnant, the situation is even more complicated."


    "Fortunately, both of you have become officials."


    "Chengyan is the Minister of the Ministry of industry and has a place in the court."


    "Sima Xiandi is the Minister of rites and has a place."


    "One of you is zhen''er''s grandfather, the other is a teacher, and last month Yinggui was the queen, which is enough to escort zhen''er."


    Pound''s face was dignified, but he was not worried.


    Although Liu Zhen is young today, the strength behind him can not be ignored.


    Huang Chengyan said with emotion: "fortunately, I have agreed. Since then, your majesty will not get in the way even if there is another dragon."


    Ma Sihui nodded.


    Since he became Liu Zhen''s teacher, Sima Hui naturally hoped that Liu Zhen would inherit the grand unification.


    Pound Fair: "well, it should not be too late, you quickly hand over the hands of things, as soon as possible."


    "Here it is


    Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui responded and went down.


    Mr. pound was sitting alone in the room with a pensive look on his face.


    While sun Shangxiang, Shi Xuan and Ma Yunlu were pregnant, Liu Xiu invited Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui to become officials. In Pound''s view, this move has profound meaning.


    However, pound didn''t point it out.


    Liu Xiu returned to the palace, he took out the list before.


    Now with Zhuge Liang, Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan, Liu Xiu has decided the candidates for the six departments.


    Liu Xiu called for an internal servant. Three days later, he was going to hold a court meeting.


    To hold a court meeting is to issue an order.


    In these three days, Zhang Zhao, Kuai Liang and others are busy, dealing with the administrative affairs in the custody of the cabinet.


    Zhuge Liang, Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui are also busy, and they have handled everything well.


    Three days is fleeting.


    On this day, in the morning.


    The weather in December is already cold and windy.


    On this morning, there was white fog in the sky, which covered Xiangyang City.


    And the influential officials in Xiangyang went to the imperial city one after another.


    Because this day is the time for Liu Xiu to hold a court meeting and appoint officials of the court.


    The so-called one emperor and one courtier.


    When Liu Xiu was in charge of Chu state, his subordinates would also set the officialdom pattern.

 Chapter 838

    "Wheel! The wheels


    The wheels turn and the carriage goes.


    Outside the palace, carriages and carriages came and gathered to form a vast river.


    On this day, officials of the capital of Chu will take part in the official post of Chu.


    Pang Tong was the first to arrive.


    He got out of the carriage and stood outside the palace, waiting quietly.


    At this time, it was foggy and the visibility was only about three feet.


    Pang Tong stood looking at the arriving officials. Suddenly, Pang Tong was surprised.


    He saw Sima Hui.


    Pang Tong had great respect for Sima Hui.


    Although Pang Tong was taught by Pang Degong, he gained some fame because of Sima Hui''s support and comments.


    It can be said that Sima Hui was helpful to Pang Tong.


    Pang Tong quickly walked over and said, "Mr. Sima."


    Sima Hui nodded with a smile and said, "Shiyuan, you came early enough."


    Pang Tong said: "today the king has a big announcement. Naturally, it will be earlier."


    Speaking of this, Pang Tong''s face showed a look of doubt, and said: "you are here, why don''t you see your uncle?"


    Sima Hui said, "brother Pang will not attend the court meeting."


    Pang Tong''s face changed a little.


    In an instant, there was a guess in his mind.


    Pang Tong''s face was solemn, his voice was lowered, and he said, "is Mr. Wang going to be an official soon?"


    Nowadays, the people who come to participate in the meeting are all officials in the court.


    If Sima Hui, Pang Degong and others came together, Pang Tong would have no doubt.


    Now that Sima Hui came alone, Pang Tong naturally had doubts.


    Sima Hui nodded, but did not say more.


    On that day, what Liu Xiu ordered for him was the Minister of rites, but what if there were any changes? Therefore, Sima Hui did not say what arrangements he would get.


    Pang Tong did not ask. He had a chat with Sima Hui.


    Suddenly, Pang Tong saw Huang Chengyan again.


    Pang Tong was even more surprised to see Huang Chengyan appear. He looked at Sima Hui and said, "Sir, is Huang Gong going to be an official?"


    Sima Hui nods and smiles.


    Huang Chengyan''s official position will soon be arranged, and he doesn''t have to hide it.


    Pang Tong said, "what''s your plan? Why have you all been invited out? "


    People of the older generation have become officials one after another.


    This is not a big move.


    As Jia Xu, Kuai Liang, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and others arrived, they chatted.


    "Wheel! Wheel


    As the carriage drove, another light came, and the carriage came slowly.


    The carriage stopped before it came near the palace, because there was no place for it to stop.


    So, we can only stop far away.


    The door curtain of the carriage rolled up, and a middle-aged man with elegant appearance and elegant appearance came.


    This man is Zhuge Liang.


    Some of the officials under Liu Xiu didn''t know him.


    However, Kuai Liang, Yi Ji and Sima Hui all knew Zhuge Liang.


    One by one, his face was filled with surprise when he saw Zhuge Liang''s appearance. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang appeared.


    See Zhuge Liang, think of Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan.


    Now that these three people have joined in, we can see the strength of Liu Xiu''s adjustment of officialdom.


    When Pang Tong saw Zhuge Liang, he was stunned and immediately excited. He said, "Kong Ming, it''s rare to see you."


    Zhuge Liang''s humble and unassuming salute.


    Seeing the people under Liu Xiu''s command, Zhuge Liang had a natural look on his face, but he was still a little constrained in his heart.


    After all, he used to be Liu Bei''s man.


    Zhuge Liang did not show any restraint, nodded to the people who said hello to him.


    Outside the palace, a group of people chatted.


    The noise was as loud as a vegetable market.


    "Creak!"


    Suddenly, the door of the palace opened.


    A valet came out and arranged positions for all the officials.


    Jia Xu and Kuai Liang are at the top of the list.


    Then Lu Su, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhaohe and Yi Ji.


    After the six, there were Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng and others, and then the civil and military officials.


    The whole team is in order.


    At this time, we can already see the size of the official positions from the respective ranks.


    With the waiter singing, a shout.


    All the civil and military officials entered the palace and went to the main hall.


    Entering the hall, the throne was empty.


    When all the civil and military officials lined up, they heard the waiter shouting, "Your Majesty is here.".


    The civil and military officials of the court knelt down and saluted. After Liu Xiu took his seat, he asked the officials to lie down, and then the officials took their seats.Liu Xiu called all officials to discuss the matter. He first asked about the general situation.


    When the courtiers'' affairs were properly handled, Liu Xiucai said, "today, I will reorganize the court structure, you Qing."


    "From today on, the three gongs and nine Qings will be abolished."


    "In the imperial court, the cabinet and the six ministries were the first to deal with the affairs of the state of Chu."


    "The office of the cabinet is..."


    "The position of the six departments is..."


    ¡­¡­


    Liu Xiuyi described the functions and duties of the cabinet and the six ministries.


    The establishment of the cabinet and the six ministries will change the power of the court.


    Since then, the government affairs handling system has been completely established.


    Liu Xiu continued: "the establishment of the cabinet and the six ministries is aimed at making the imperial court deal with government affairs more quickly and steadily. Among the cabinet, there will be one head assistant and five cabinet members. "


    "Kuai Liang, listen to the order!"


    Liu Xiu gave a direct order.


    Kuai Liang got up and said, "I''m here!"


    At this moment, Kuai Liang was very excited.


    Compared with the rest of Liu Xiu''s men, he has never been to the battlefield and has been dealing with government affairs in the rear.


    He didn''t make a positive contribution.


    He spent all his time in the rear, always taking care of Liu Xiu''s affairs.


    Now, when Liu Xiu mentioned the cabinet chief assistant, he called his name, which means that he is the cabinet chief assistant.


    Liu Xiu looked at Kuai Liang with a smile on his lips and said, "emperor Gao once said that I am not as good as Xiao He in managing the country and pacifying the people."


    "Looking up and down the state of Chu, I''m going to fight with my soldiers and expand our territory."


    "All these are the officials headed by Kuai Liang who govern the country in the rear."


    "To put it bluntly, Kuai Liang is my Xiao He."


    "Without Kuai Liang handling the internal affairs in the rear, there would be no Chu today."


    "On merit, Kuai Liang should remember his first merit."


    Liu Xiu talked with a loud voice.


    His voice echoed in the hall.


    When Kuai Liang heard these words, he was very excited.


    At the beginning, he was idle at home and didn''t want to become an official. Liu Xiu personally came to the door to persuade him to become an official.


    In this way, he has today.


    Liu Xiu looked solemnly and said in a deep voice, "Kuai Liang, I appoint you as the chief assistant of the cabinet, who is fully responsible for the government affairs of the state of Chu."


    "Yes, sir


    Kuai Liang kowtowed.


    As soon as Liu Xiu brushed his sleeves, Kuai Liang returned to his seat.


    As a matter of fact, when it comes to credit, Jia Xu, Pang Tong and other people are not weak at all.


    However, Kuai Liang has always been responsible for government affairs.


    Therefore, Liu Xiucai took Kuai Liang as the first assistant of the cabinet and respected him.


    Liu Xiu turned his eyes, swept the people in the hall and said slowly: "Yi Ji, Zhang Zhao, Jia Xu, Lu Su, Zhou Yu!"


    "I''m here!"


    After hearing the speech, all the people stood up.


    One by one, they went to the hall, lifted their robes and knelt down.


    Liu Xiu said: "you five people have outstanding talents, all of them have the talent of the world. You five, as cabinet members, help Kuai Liang sort out his internal affairs and handle state affairs. "


    "Here it is


    Yi Ji, Zhang Zhao and others kowtow.


    All five are aware of the rights of cabinet members.


    When Liu Xiu appointed them as cabinet members, their identities were confirmed.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand, and Yi Ji, Zhang Zhao and other five returned to the table.


    The cabinet members decided that the next step was the arrangement of six members.


    Liubu is a real official position with real power, which is also the key position to deal with the government affairs of Chu.


    Liu Xiu turned his eyes and said, "Pang Tong!"


    "I''m here!"


    Pang Tong immediately stood up.

 Chapter 839

    Standing in the hall, Pang Tong''s heart was full of emotion.


    Among all the people, he was the first to follow Liu Xiu.


    In the past, Liu Xiugang had just been appointed as an official. He was a small county magistrate, and Pang Tong followed Liu Xiu.


    From Changsha county to Xiangyang City to capture the State animal husbandry.


    From Jiaozhou to Yizhou


    Liu Xiu grew up with his full participation.


    Now, it''s harvest time.


    Standing respectfully in the hall, Pang Tong waited for Liu Xiu''s arrangement.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "when I rose in the end, Pang Tong followed me. Solve the trouble of Changsha County, level the chaos of Jingzhou, fix the Yizhou of Bashu and seize the Jiaozhou of the South... "


    "Pang Tong participated in all previous wars."


    "If I were assisted by Pang Tong, I would not be as brilliant as I am today."


    "In today''s discussion of Gong, Pang Tong''s Gong lies in the state of Chu."


    Liu Xiu made a contribution to Pang Tong.


    After that, Liu Xiu said, "I appointed Pang Tong as the Minister of the Ministry of war and took charge of the Ministry of war of Chu."


    The Ministry of war is in charge of military officers, military status, military orders, etc.


    Not surprisingly, Pang Tong was the first person in the military.


    Pang Tong said: "I thank your majesty for your kindness."


    Pang Tong was also very happy to get the post of minister of the Ministry of war, which was something he was good at. If he is allowed to handle government affairs, he does not like it because it is too complicated.


    Liu Xiu nodded and saw Pang Tong get up and return to his seat.


    Liu Xiu said: "Fa Zheng!"


    "I''m here!"


    Fazheng stood up and knelt down to salute.


    At the moment, Fazheng is also full of expectations.


    He was loyal to Liu Xiu in order to show his strong points and win the title of wife and son.


    Now, it''s done.


    Liu Xiu thought with his eyes and said slowly, "Yizhou was not settled in the past, so you will choose the master wisely and plan Yizhou for me."


    "For the sake of Yizhou, you are willing to aggrieve yourself and hide in Yizhou."


    "Only when you cooperate with each other can you capture Yizhou quickly."


    "To attack the state of Wu, you have full power to plan and prepare earlier to lay the foundation for occupying the state of Wu."


    "You are the only one who has won the first prize in attacking the state of Wu."


    Liu Xiu explained the contribution of Fazheng.


    Under Liu Xiu''s command, Fazheng was also obedient for a long time, but after Fazheng''s obedience, he was willing to stay under Liu Zhang in order to help Liu Xiu plan Yizhou.


    When Liu Xiu attacked Yizhou, he helped Liu Xiu pacify Yizhou.


    Liu Xiuse said: "I appoint you as the Secretary of the Ministry of household."


    "Yes, I do!"


    Fazheng''s oral response made him even more excited.


    the responsibility of the Ministry of household affairs, in charge of all taxes and related matters such as taxes, fields, registered residence, salaries, salaries, taxes and so on.


    Such rights are enormous.


    Since ancient times, money bags have been the core of official positions.


    FA Zheng is in charge of the household department, and he is in charge of Liu Xiu''s purse, which shows its importance.


    When Fazheng returned to his seat, Liu Xiu said, "Jia Xu!"


    "I''m here!"


    Jia Xu replied with a look of consternation on his face.


    But Liu Xiu stood up to be polite.


    Jia Xu is dismayed because he has just been appointed. He is a member of the cabinet. As a member of the cabinet of the state of Chu, he has the highest decision-making power.


    Now, Liu Xiu called him again.


    The eyes of all the officials also fell on Jia Xu.


    It''s strange to everyone.


    But no one is surprised, because Liu Xiu has always attached great importance to Jia Xu.


    Although Jia Xu was once a member of Cao Cao, he was the most important person under Liu Xiu''s command.


    Liu xiudao: "the ancients once said that when you are old and strong, you''d better move your heart."


    "Although Jia Wenhe is old, he is determined not to change."


    "The king has won Yizhou, calmed Liangzhou and stabilized Jiaozhou, all of which have the credit of Jia Xu."


    "Today, the king appointed Jia Xu as the Minister of the Ministry of officials."


    Liu Xiu''s words set off a thousand waves in the hall.


    The Ministry of officials is one of the most important departments.


    The Ministry of officials is in charge of the appointment, removal, promotion and transfer of civil servants.


    Not surprisingly, this is the core department.


    Jia XuBen is one of the six members of the cabinet. Now, with the status of minister of the Ministry of officials, his power is even greater.


    This arrangement shows that Liu Xiu attaches great importance to Jia Xu.


    The officials talked a lot, but no one dared to retort.


    First, Liu Xiuwei hopes enough;


    Second, Jia Xu has made enough contributions.


    No one dares to challenge Liu Xiu just for these two points.


    Jia Xu closed his hands and kowtowed thanks.Today, he was also a great accident. But when Liu Xiu left Xiangyang for disaster relief, he was asked to take charge of everything.


    With Liu Xiu''s respect for him, this arrangement is reasonable.


    When Jia Xu returned to his seat, all the officials looked envious.


    Liu Xiu glanced around and everyone was silent.


    In the hall, it was quiet again.


    All eyes focused on Liu Xiu again, waiting for Liu Xiu to continue to arrange.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes wandered and finally fell on Zhuge Liang.


    "ZHUGE Liang!"


    Liu Xiu''s voice sounded like a thunder.


    When Zhuge Liang''s name was called, everyone looked at him.


    Before that, Zhuge Liang never became an official, and some officials didn''t even know him. Now Liu Xiu suddenly called Zhuge Liang''s name, many people were surprised.


    Those who know Zhuge Liang understand in their hearts that they know Zhuge Liang''s ability.


    "I''m here!"


    Zhuge Liang stood up, went to the hall and knelt down to salute Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu stares at Zhuge Liang with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.


    Once upon a time, he wanted to recruit Zhuge Liang and take him for his own use. But Zhuge Liang was stronger and chose Liu Bei.


    The two sides clashed several times.


    In the end, Liu Bei was completely killed by him, and Zhuge Liang finally retired to the Academy.


    Now Zhuge Liang is under his command.


    Liu Xiu''s tone was a little low, and he said slowly: "the mountain does not say goodbye to the earth, so it can be high; the sea does not say goodbye to the water, so it can be deep."


    "The talent of Zhuge Liang is well known."


    "It is true that Zhuge Liang was my enemy."


    "But the enemy of that time, the friend of today. Since I am a talented person, I should use it myself. "


    Liu Xiu said: "as the saying goes, the sea embraces all rivers, and tolerance is great. Zhuge Liang can be owned by me. All the scholars in the world, regardless of the state of Chu or Wei, can also be used by me. "


    "I appoint Zhuge Liang as the Minister of the Ministry of punishment to take charge of the Ministry of punishment."


    In a word, Liu Xiu appointed Zhuge Liang.


    "Thank you for your grace."


    Zhuge Liang kowtowed his thanks again.


    The Ministry of punishment, which is in charge of the procedural law and prison of the state of Chu, is in charge of the national criminal law and administrative decrees and the examination and verification of the name of the sentence.


    This is an extremely important department.


    Zhuge Liang was quite satisfied with this position.


    After he returned to his seat, Liu Xiu called out Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan and arranged their official positions.


    Sima Hui served as Minister of rites, and Huang Chengyan served as Minister of work.


    Sima Hui is a famous Confucianist who is proficient in the classics of etiquette and righteousness. He served as Minister of rites, and no one refuted him. As for Huang Chengyan as Minister of the Ministry of industry of Chu, no one dares to refute.


    Huang Chengyan is the father of the queen and the father-in-law of the dynasty.


    Who dares to comment on such status?


    After Liu Xiu arranged the officials of the cabinet and the six ministries, he arranged the rest of the corresponding posts.


    The general structure of officials has finally been determined.

 Chapter 840

    "Host, task completed, reward available."


    The sound of the system rang out in Liu Xiu''s mind.


    Liu Xiu directly ignored that now in front of the ministers of the state of Chu, he would not receive the task.


    Miracles are miracles because they are too rare.


    The impact of the system has not dissipated before, but now it creates miracles, which is too dense.


    Liu Xiu finished the arrangement and said, "what else can I do for you? If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat. "


    "Your Majesty, I have my own music."


    Suddenly, Jia Xu stood up.


    As an old minister under Liu Xiu, Jia Xu has enough qualifications and prestige.


    Liu xiudao: "what''s the matter with Wenhe?"


    Jia Xu said: "I ask your majesty to move the capital to Luoyang, in order to be orthodox."


    Boom!!


    As if it were thunder, the officials in the hall talked about it.


    Looking at Jia Xu one by one, they were all very surprised.


    Who did not expect, Jia Xu suddenly came to a cruel, even proposed to move the capital.


    Liu Xiu heard Jia Xu''s words and said, "why?"


    Jia Xu holding wat board, zhengse way: "the old minister proposed to move the capital for four reasons."


    "First, tell the world that your majesty is the orthodox of the Han Dynasty."


    "Luoyang is the capital of the Han Dynasty. Your majesty established the Chu and Han Dynasties. The state name is Chu, but it is also Chu and Han Dynasties. It is the orthodox Han Dynasty."


    "If you move the capital to Luoyang, you will be able to see and hear correctly."


    "It is well known that only when your majesty is orthodox can people be attached to him."


    Jia Xu''s eyes are shining with wisdom.


    He has considered the matter of moving the capital many times. Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of Liu xiuchao''s proposal, it was solved together.


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly, thinking.


    Liu Xiu never considered moving the capital.


    Now Jia Xu put it forward, Liu Xiu''s mind also floated.


    Xiangyang is prosperous and prosperous, extending in all directions, is a qualified economic center. However, Xiangyang is located in the south, can not control the world, not suitable as the capital of Chu.


    After observing Liu Xiu''s manner, Jia Xu saw that Liu Xiu was also meditating and continued: "second, the geographical location of Luoyang."


    "In all dynasties, Luoyang was regarded as the imperial capital, which shows that it is extraordinary."


    "The wisdom of our predecessors can be used today."


    "Moreover, to the north and west of Luoyang, the mountains gather. Luoyang has Hulao pass in the East, Dashan pass in the west, Xiaoguan pass in the north and Wuguan pass in the south. "


    "Guard Luoyang at all levels."


    "To put it another way, Luoyang is also a place of four wars. Its strategic position is too important and it is prone to war."


    "But just like this, the more you can show the position of Luoyang."


    "Your Majesty can control the world only when he sits in Luoyang."


    "To the west, you can enter Liangzhou; to the East, you can leave hulaoguan and enter Qingzhou; to the south, you can go down to Jingzhou; to the north, you can go up to Bingzhou."


    "There is no doubt about the location of Luoyang."


    Jia Xu talked about the second reason.


    Liu Xiu is also thinking.


    Luoyang, as an imperial capital, is naturally excellent.


    In the past dynasties, Xia, Shang, Zhou, Eastern Han, Cao Wei, Sui and Tang dynasties all set their capitals here.


    This shows the importance of Luoyang.


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "what''s the third reason?"


    Jia Xu shook his sleeve robe and said: "the decisive battle between the state of Chu and the state of Wei is just around the corner. Only when your majesty moves his capital to Luoyang can he confront Cao Cao."


    "The battlefield is in the north. Only when the king goes north to Luoyang can he command at close range."


    "The imperial capital is located in Xiangyang, so it is difficult to control the situation on the front line."


    "After all, there is still a long way to go from Xiangyang to the north."


    Jia Xu elaborated the third reason.


    Once the war starts with Cao Cao, the battlefield will be in the north.


    If Liu Xiu stayed in Xiangyang, it would be difficult for him to get the news at the first time.


    Liu xiudao: "the fourth reason?"


    Jia Xu''s face became serious and said: "fourth, the emperor''s capital is located in Luoyang, which can frighten the alien race."


    "It is no longer a matter of one day or two for the Hu people, the Huns and the Wuhuan people in the north to make man-made disasters."


    "During the civil war in the Central Plains, the Hu people grew up."


    "Your Majesty set up the imperial capital in Luoyang and stationed the army. If there is any change in the Hu people, your majesty can quickly dispatch troops to calm the situation."


    "If the emperor is in Xiangyang, it will be difficult to respond in the shortest time."


    Jia Xu said the fourth reason.


    He folded his hands, arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice."


    After explaining the four reasons, Liu Xiu nodded slightly. After hearing this, he was moved.


    "Your Majesty, I object."


    Suddenly, a loud voice rang out.


    But Kuai Liang took it.


    As the first member of the cabinet, he directly stood up and opposed it without hesitation.The emperor''s capital is located in Xiangyang, which is of great benefit to the Jingzhou gentry.


    Of course, the Kuai family is the same.


    Once the imperial capital moved to the north, the advantage of the Kuai family disappeared.


    Moreover, once he moved the capital, he would follow him north to Luoyang. When he arrived in Luoyang, although he was still the first assistant of Chu, he did not pay much attention to the Kuai family.


    Liu Xiu squinted and examined Kuai Liang. He said, "what''s the reason for Kuai Qing''s opposition?"


    Since we want to oppose it, there are reasons.


    Kuai Liang didn''t know what he was really thinking. He looked solemn and said, "tell your majesty, it''s wartime."


    "Moving the capital to Luoyang, first of all, is to waste money."


    "After all, moving the capital is a big project and will cost a lot of money."


    "Second, when moving the capital, the focus was on moving the capital. Once Cao Cao attacks, it will have a huge impact. "


    " thirdly, the officials of Chu state were mostly southerners. "


    "Once they move to the north, will officials be able to adapt to it, and will it cause public unrest?"


    The reasons put forward by Kuai Liang are all official reasons.


    There''s nothing for you.


    If we want to oppose it, we should naturally oppose it with the most reasonable reasons.


    Liu Xiu listened to Kuai Liang''s words with a smile in his mouth. He was not angry.


    It is a good thing that the officials under his command have disputes.


    If all things are done by the only one, Liu Xiu can''t rest assured. Only when officials have disputes can Liu Xiu balance the situation and choose the most appropriate proposal.


    Liu Xiu looked at Jia Xu and said, "Jia Xu, Kuai Qing retorts. What do you think?"


    Kuai Liang also looks at Jia Xu.


    The friendship between the two sides is good in private, but business is business.


    Jia Xuda''s sleeve flicked and said, "Kuai Shoufu''s words are just women''s views."


    "You..."


    When Kuai Liang heard Jia Xu''s words, he became angry.


    He was the first assistant of the imperial court and the first person in the cabinet. He was attacked by Jia Xu in public.


    Jia Xu said: "Kuai Shoufu, listen to me."


    "Although moving the capital involves many things, for the common people, the government has to pay for recruiting soldiers and the common people."


    "If they participate in it, not only will they not suffer losses, but they can also make money."


    "This is a disguised form of work relief."


    "Second, Cao Cao''s attack was resisted by the generals of his own armies."


    "Your Majesty has kept his troops for thousands of days. If they can''t resist Cao''s army, what''s the use of them?"


    "Third, officials do not adapt?"


    "If you don''t get used to it, don''t do it. Soldiers are afraid of death. If they are afraid of death, can they not go to the battlefield. As an official of the state of Chu, with his Majesty''s salary, he doesn''t even have this self-consciousness and courage. It''s better to resign and go to seclusion earlier. "


    Jia Yu''s sharp words and strong refutation.


    Jia Kuai''s words were almost silent.

 Chapter 841

    Jia Xu is resourceful and sharp.


    Kuai Liang was unable to resist Jia Xu for a moment.


    The rest of them didn''t participate.


    Zhang Zhao, Lu Su, Zhou Yu and others all remained neutral.


    It''s enough to have Jia Xu and Kuai Liang in the challenge arena.


    They are involved, and they are not good to themselves. Moreover, these people all have enough ability, and they are all human beings. They are good at the world and know what they should do? And what not to do.


    In his eyes, Liu Xiu did not stop him.


    It''s a good thing to have a debate.


    Shoot again, for Kuai Liang urgent roar out against moving the capital, Liu Xiu do not agree.


    The first and second ministers of the cabinet should not be in a hurry to state their position.


    Before Liu Xiu became emperor, the muzzle of his gun was consistent with the outside world.


    The officials under his command are working together.


    It can be said that we share weal and woe.


    Up to now, Liu Xiu has become emperor. Although there is Cao Cao, the foreign enemy, to some extent, the foundation of Chu has been established.


    It is easy to have a fight among officials.


    As the first assistant of the cabinet, Kuai Liang should not be in a hurry to express his position.


    Of course, this is also the change of Kuai Liang''s identity.


    He has just served as the head assistant of the cabinet and has just got used to his present position. It will take him some time to adapt.


    Liu Xiu looked at Kuai Liang and said, "Kuai Qing, what else do you have to say?"


    Kuai Liang said: "Your Majesty, the matter of moving the capital is very important. Please think twice."


    He was refuted by Jia Xu, but Kuai Liang didn''t expect to refute.


    Therefore, please think twice.


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly, looked at the others and said, "Zhuqing, what do you think of the move of the capital?"


    Everyone is thinking about moving the capital.


    For most officials, Jia Xu is a great God, as is Kuai Liang.


    Neither side can afford to offend.


    Therefore, none of them is willing to offend.


    Pang Tong didn''t care much about who''s opinion, he only cared about the influence of this event on Chu.


    "Your Majesty, I agree with Jia Shangshu''s proposal."


    Pang Tong came forward.


    Liu Xiu asked, "why?"


    Pang Tong bowed his hand to Liu Xiu and said, "moving the capital to Luoyang is not only the political center of the whole country, but also a major event to pacify the people of the world. Only the establishment of the imperial capital can show the prestige of Chu state. "


    "At present, no one knows that Xiangyang can be used as the capital of Chu."


    "Similarly, people will guess."


    "In that case, it''s better to set up the capital as soon as possible so as to ease the hearts of the people."


    Pang Tong said solemnly, "the capital of the emperor is Luoyang. It is the capital of the Han Dynasty, which can best show the orthodoxy of your majesty. His majesty also has the blood of emperor Gao and is the descendant of Emperor Guangwu. Your majesty should be called emperor. Moving the capital to Luoyang should not only be carried out, but also be accelerated. "


    Compared with Jia Xu, Pang Tong was more radical.


    Kuai Liang frowned.


    Jia Xu was born in the army. Although he was an official in the dynasty, he also served as a military adviser.


    So was Pang Tong.


    The two most important people spoke, and the form was extremely unfavorable to him.


    As soon as Kuai Liang''s eyes turned, he made a decision in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, since both Jia Shangshu and Pang Shangshu agree to move the capital, it''s useless for me to oppose it any more."


    "Moreover, as Jia Shangshu said, moving the capital really has more advantages than disadvantages."


    "I''m looking at some disadvantages, and then I ignore the benefits of moving the capital. It''s really a small loss."


    "The right of the two sides should be the most important."


    "It''s good for the emperor to stay in Xiangyang, but it''s better to move the capital to Luoyang."


    Kuai Liang changed the direction of the wind and said, "I also agree to move the capital."


    The rest heard the speech and knew that they had come to an agreement.


    FA Zheng, Zhang Zhao, Yi Ji and others all agreed.


    All the ministers in the court agreed to move the capital.


    After the consensus, Liu Xiu clapped his hand and said, "since we all agree to move the capital, we will start to prepare for it. Kuai Qing, you should arrange this matter properly and proceed as soon as possible. "


    "Here it is


    Kuai Liang bowed his hand to reply.


    Liu Xiu discussed other matters with the public, and then announced his withdrawal.


    The courtiers dispersed and left in twos and threes.


    However, Jia Xu went to Kuai Liang and said with a smile, "Kuai Shoufu, reorganizing the court hall is a last resort. Please forgive me."


    After all, Kuai Liang is the first assistant.


    The argument in the court is a business affair, and the relationship in private is another matter.


    As soon as Jia Xuyi apologized, Kuai Liang''s face was full of smiles, and his heart was full of knots. He said with a smile, "Duke Jia doesn''t have to be like this. You and I argue for the sake of Chu, but we consider different positions."


    In private, Kuai Liang also respectfully called Jia Xu Jia Gong.


    Jia Xu smelled the speech and gave a smile.After a brief chat, they left.


    After Yi Ji and Kuai Liang came out of the palace, Yi Ji said, "brother zirou, would you like to follow me next?"


    "It''s my wish!"


    Kuai Liang immediately boarded the carriage.


    "Wheel! The wheels


    The wheels turn, slowly forward.


    Yi Ji sighed and said, "brother zirou, you shouldn''t argue with Jia Xu in person today."


    Kuai Liang''s eyes twinkled and said in a deep voice, "Duke Jia is thoughtful. I really shouldn''t end up here. The failure of this argument has affected my own prestige


    Yi Ji said, "you are the head of the cabinet and your Majesty''s right arm."


    "If your majesty has a problem, his courtiers will make suggestions."


    "If Jia Xu has problems, his own officials will retort."


    "What brother zirou needs to do is to coordinate the relationship. There''s no need to make a statement."


    "Jia Xu got the consent of the courtiers, and brother zirou came to Jia Xu. When Jia Xu failed to persuade his courtiers, brother zirou turned to them. "


    "In a word, what you need to do is to coordinate Yin and Yang and sort out the relationship."


    Although Yi Ji was only a member of the cabinet, he saw it very clearly and said, "you are the first assistant under one person and above ten thousand people. In the future, you don''t need to express your position easily."


    Kuai Liang suddenly realized what he said.


    At this time, Kuai Liang also knew that he was impulsive at that time. He should not conflict with Jia Xu himself because of some small profits.


    Kuai Liang folded his hands and said, "brother Yi, Gao Yi, thank you very much."


    Kuai Liang may not be able to understand if there is no demand from Iraqis.


    Maybe he''ll wake up after a few things.


    But now that the Iraqis have ordered it, Kuai Liang knows what to do.


    Yi Ji continued: "of course, when it comes to moving the capital, I agree. Xiangyang is good, but after all, it is too fat and pink, lacking the majestic atmosphere of the imperial capital. "


    Kuai Liang nodded in agreement.


    As soon as the conversation changed, Kuai Liang said, "I understand that brother Meng ordered today. You and I seldom have leisure. We must have a good drink today. "


    "It should be so!"


    Yi Ji also nodded.


    There was also a faint smile on his face.


    The reason why Kuai Liang is called on is that he and Kuai Liang belong to the Jingzhou department and are from the same boat.


    After all, they have been working together for so many years.


    ¡­¡­


    Liu Xiu left the hall and went back to his bedroom.


    His bedroom is very large, very broad, it is very open.


    Liu Xiu had a turn in his bedroom, but he didn''t find a suitable place to receive the reward. After all, it''s a thousand catties of pumpkin seeds, which are all piled on the ground, and it also needs some space.


    It''s too eye-catching to put it in the bedroom.


    Liu Xiu thought about it and asked, "system, can we not collect it for the time being?"


    The system said, "yes!"


    On hearing this, Liu Xiu burst into laughter.


    Since it can be stored in the system, he doesn''t have to worry about it. He will collect it when he needs it.

 Chapter 842

    In Luoyang, Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang''an and set fire to the city.


    Finally, the prosperous city of Luoyang turned into ruins.


    Later, Zhang Jia was appointed by Cao Cao to take charge of Luoyang. He once repaired Luoyang.


    However, the walls and streets of Luoyang were built, but the imperial city of Luoyang was not repaired.


    Wenpin led the army to arrive and stationed in Luoyang. However, it is impossible for wenpin to repair the Imperial Palace, so although today''s Luoyang City has recovered, the former site of the imperial city is still in ruins.


    Since Liu Xiu decided to move the capital, a steady stream of craftsmen arrived in Luoyang.


    Then, the construction of Luoyang palace began.


    At the same time, Liu Xiu''s officials are preparing to move the capital.


    It''s February 216.


    At this time, the Imperial Palace in Luoyang had been built.


    However, it is only part of the construction.


    Most of the palaces have not yet been built and need to be built one after another.


    But in this case, it can be relocated.


    On February 2, the dragon looks up.


    On this day, Liu Xiu ordered to move the capital.


    Together with Liu Xiu, the officials left Xiangyang for Luoyang in the north.


    Fortunately, from last year to now, the relevant classics and archives have been transported away first, so the journey has been much easier.


    The news of Liu Xiuqian''s capital also spread to the north.


    Yecheng!


    In the palace of the state of Wei.


    Cao Cao called all his ministers to discuss affairs.


    Today''s Cao Cao is also growing old.


    He is over sixty and in his old age.


    Despite this, Cao Cao did not agree with his old age. He wanted to fight Liu Xiu to the death before he died, completely defeat Liu Xiu, and then rule the world.


    Cao Cao looks around at the people in the hall.


    In the hall, gathered Cao Cao''s main confidants.


    Prince Cao Pi, as well as Xun Yu, Xun you, Sima Yi, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun and Liu Ye are all here.


    Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu moved his capital to Luoyang. Now, Liu Xiu is on the way to move his capital."


    "The plan we made last year is to fight after the spring of this year."


    "Now that spring ploughing begins, it''s almost time."


    "What''s more, it''s rare for Liu Xiuqian to be too busy."


    "All Liu Xiu''s energy is in moving the capital. Only when we attack Liu Xiu at this time can we be surprised. "


    Cao Cao''s eyes twinkled with light and said, "what suggestions do you have, Zhuqing?"


    Attacking Liu Xiu is Cao Cao''s obsession.


    It has to be done.


    Xun Yu looked solemn and said, "Your Majesty, the food for the war is ready. Now that we are at war with Liu Xiu, there is no worry in the rear. "


    " good! "


    Cao Cao stroked his beard with a smile.


    When Xun Yu dealt with the government affairs in the rear, he was not worried.


    Xun you had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, since we are going to fight, I think we should use thunder to make Liu Xiu have no time to respond."


    Cao Cao said: "how to operate?"


    Xun you said, "Liu Xiu''s capital is in Xiangyang. It''s not the right place to be the capital."


    "However, it is appropriate at this stage."


    "In Xiangyang, Liu Xiu can help Luoyang to the north, Jiangdong to the South and Yizhou to the West."


    "At this stage, it is appropriate to be in Xiangyang."


    "But after Liu Xiu moved his capital to Luoyang, his control over the South was weakened."


    "If at this time, we do our best to attack Nanyang County directly. If Liu Xiu is cut off from north to south, he will lose his foundation in the south when he is in Luoyang. "


    Xun you put forward the strategy, and his eyes were full of wisdom.


    In Xun you''s opinion, Liu Xiu''s base camp was in the south.


    If we cut off the North-South passage and take control of Nanyang County, Liu Xiu will be seriously damaged.


    Xun you continued: "Your Majesty, I think I can attack Luoyang in name and attract Liu Xiu''s attention. In fact, he sent a large army to attack Nanyang County, took Zhang Ren and captured Nanyang. "


    Cao Cao thought about Xun you''s proposal.


    Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi, but saw that Sima Yi shook his head slightly.


    Seeing this, Cao Pi did not interrupt.


    Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu and said, "Mr. Zhong De, what do you think you should do?"


    Cheng Yu said: "in reply to your majesty, I agree with Lord Xun''s proposal. Pretending to attack Luoyang and then actually attacking Nanyang is an excellent strategy. "


    Cao Cao said, "do you have any other suggestions?"


    When they heard the words, they did not speak.


    Seeing this, Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "since it is so, then feint Luoyang and attack Nanyang."


    "In Luoyang, I''ll fight personally."


    "When I appear, Liu Xiucai will not doubt it and will mobilize all his forces to resist.""In Nanyang County, Zhang Liao was the main general and Xun you was the military adviser."


    Cao Cao gave the order directly.


    Although Xunyou and zhangliao were once captives, Cao Cao had no doubt about employing people, and he boldly used Xunyou and zhangliao.


    When Xun you heard Cao Cao''s order, he was agitated to answer it.


    In his heart, he made up his mind.


    This battle must be won.


    Otherwise, I''m sorry for Cao Cao''s trust.


    ¡­¡­


    Outside Luoyang.


    At the gate of the city, an army lines up outside the city.


    The leader is Wen pin.


    Xu Shu stood beside Wen pin with an expectant look on his face.


    In recent months, craftsmen are busy repairing the Imperial Palace, and so are wenpin and Xu Shu.


    Now, Liu Xiu has finally come.


    Spring is in March.


    The sun is shining on the body, warm.


    Wen pin said with a smile: "military adviser, when your majesty arrives in Luoyang, he will direct us."


    Xu Shu said, "it''s a good arrangement for your majesty to move his capital to Luoyang."


    They chatted and waited quietly.


    "Here we are, here we are!"


    All of a sudden, there were soldiers shouting.


    The soldiers yelled. Wen pin and Xu Shu looked up and saw the figures on the official road in the distance. In the distance, the banners fluttered and the king''s flag swayed. It was Liu Xiu''s army.


    Liu Xiu started in February and now arrives in March.


    Liu Xiu led his troops to Luoyang and looked at the repaired city with a smile on his face.


    It''s a long journey, and it''s finally arrived.


    Pang Tong rode to Liu Xiu''s luanjia and said, "Your Majesty, Luoyang is here."


    Liu xiudao: "yes, at last."


    When we arrived in Luoyang City, we finally finished moving the capital.


    In the past few months since moving the capital, things have been complicated and complicated.


    For Liu Xiu, it had a great influence.


    "Da! Dada


    A horse''s hooves sounded.


    Deng Zhan rode to luanjia and reported: "Your Majesty, the royal guards have just sent back news that Cao Cao has sent troops. Cao Cao personally mobilized the army and drove to Luoyang. "


    Liu xiudao: "how about Cao Cao''s troops?"


    Deng Zhan replied, "we haven''t heard the news yet."


    Liu Xiu squinted at Deng Zhan.


    Now that Cao Cao has sent troops, the royal guards have just got the news. They haven''t even heard about the enemy''s forces. It''s really hard to say.


    Deng Zhan quickly bowed himself and said, "tell your majesty that Cao Cao blocked the news, which led to our failure to get the information in time. What''s more, the royal guards are busy with relocation during this period of time. For a while, they haven''t been able to get any news in the shortest time. "


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "inquire about the news as soon as possible."


    "Here it is


    Deng Zhan was ordered to bow down.


    But on his back, he was already in a cold sweat. He was startled.

 Chapter 843

    Deng Zhan stepped down sweating. He knew that he had failed to pay close attention to Cao Cao.


    After going down, Deng Zhan had to do his best to get information.


    And Liu Xiu''s team moved on.


    Sitting on the road, Liu Xiu thought about Cao Cao''s sending troops.


    In recent months, the whole country has been busy moving the capital.


    So much so that Cao Cao was ignored.


    Liu Xiu converged, and the team soon arrived at the gate of the city.


    Wenpin and Xu Shu came forward to salute. After saluting respectfully, they welcomed Liu Xiu and his party into the city.


    A large number of Chu officials entered Luoyang.


    This scene was surrounded by countless people.


    Liu Xiu''s capital is in Luoyang.


    For the people of Luoyang, Liu Xiuqian''s capital Luoyang means that Luoyang will not be affected by the war, which is a good thing.


    Therefore, the people are very happy to see the mighty troops entering the city.


    In Luoyang City, the official''s office has long been determined.


    The residence of the officials has also been arranged.


    Officials of the state of Chu entered the city, and their families were led into their houses by soldiers.


    The officials entered the government offices and began to work.


    All this is going on in an orderly way.


    Liu Xiu took Huang Yueying, sun Shangxiang, Shi Xuan and Ma Yunlu to settle down in the imperial city.


    As soon as Liu Xiu arrived at the hall, he summoned cabinet officials headed by Kuai Liang, six ministers, Wen pin and Xu Shu to the hall for discussion.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes swept the crowd and said in a deep voice: "when I arrived in Luoyang, the royal guards sent back the news that Cao Cao himself led the army from Yecheng and was coming to Luoyang to kill."


    "Wow!"


    There was a lot of noise in the hall.


    There was a little consternation on the faces of the officials.


    The confrontation between Chu and Wei had a solid foundation.


    However, in all previous confrontations between Chu and Wei, Wei was at a disadvantage.


    Moreover, Cao Cao is old.


    Everyone thought that Wei Congress took the initiative to seek stability and would not attack, but Cao Cao took the initiative to attack.


    It''s staggering.


    Liu Xiu coughed twice, and everyone was quiet.


    Liu Xiu looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "to invite you here is to announce two things."


    "First, when the state of Chu and the state of Wei went to war, they had to allocate food and grass, which required the full preparation of the cabinet and the six ministries."


    "Second, after moving the capital to Luoyang, there will be a lot of waste waiting for prosperity. You need to stabilize the situation."


    "It''s all urgent at the moment," Liu said


    Kuai Liang as the first assistant of the cabinet, he said: "please rest assured your majesty, I will do my best."


    Other officials have also expressed their views.


    Nowadays, all the officials under Liu Xiu are full of fighting spirit.


    Liu Xiu became emperor, and they were in high positions.


    As Liu Xiu''s subordinates, they have the same goal, that is to help Liu Xiu dominate the country.


    Even if Liu Xiu wanted to stop, his men would not agree.


    Because it is already a community of interests.


    All the glory!


    It''s all bad!


    Liu Xiu looked at a man with high morale, nodded, and his face was pleased.


    It''s the best result that the people under his command do their best.


    Liu Xiu looked at Wen pin and said, "Wen pin, mobilize the soldiers of the first army under your command to fight Cao Cao with me."


    "Here it is


    Wenpin should fight for success.


    On hearing this, Kuai Liang quickly said, "Your Majesty, the state of Chu has just finished moving its capital. There are many things to be decided by your majesty. Isn''t your majesty putting things on hold? The old minister believed that general Wen and Xu''s army commander on the front line were enough to resist Cao Cao. Your majesty, please think twice


    Liu Xiu is the backbone of Chu state.


    Now that he has just moved the capital, Liu Xiu has to decide many things.


    Comparatively speaking, Kuai Liang thinks that Liu Xiu''s stay in Luoyang is the best result.


    Jia Xu opened his mouth and said, "I''m seconded."


    The rest spoke.


    Liu Xiu listened to the people''s words, but he shook his head.


    He said solemnly in a heavy tone: "the government affairs in the rear are jointly handled by the cabinet and the officials of the six ministries. I don''t worry about it, and I don''t think there will be any trouble."


    "In today''s Chu state, the stability of the rear is the foundation."


    "However, attacking the state of Wei is the foundation of Chu."


    "If we can''t defeat the state of Wei on the battlefield, the state of Chu can''t develop."


    "I think the rush will soon be over and everything will be in order. The most important task of Chu is still to attack Wei. "


    Liu Xiu spoke out his consideration.


    Liu Xiu decided to take part in the next war.Luoyang has cabinet and six Ministry officials to deal with government affairs. Liu Xiu can ignore many things.


    Liu Xiu''s stay in Luoyang is just a symbol.


    Moreover, Liu Xiu didn''t want to get involved in complicated government affairs. He and the army went to the front line, but the most appropriate.


    When Cao Cao leads the troops to kill, he has to lead the troops to fight.


    Liu Xiuliang has decided to listen to what he said.


    As a follower of Liu Xiu for nearly ten years, he knows Liu Xiu''s character. Once a decision has been made, it is impossible to waver. Kuai Liang also no longer persuade, solemn way: "king to the front line, remember to take care of the dragon body."


    Liu Xiu said with a smile: "with Huang Hu and shamoko accompanying me, I don''t need to worry about my safety."


    Both the flying tiger camp under Huang Hu''s command and the barbarians under shamoko''s command are excellent.


    With two armies in, Liu Xiu is safe.


    When Liu Xiu decided to go to battle, he directly said, "I''m leading the army to fight with Cao Cao. All the cabinet members and the six ministers are staying in Luoyang to sort out the situation."


    When FA Zheng and Pang Tong heard the speech, they were quite lost.


    In the past, there was a big war and a small war in the state of Chu. Whenever Liu Xiu went on an expedition, they both went out with him.


    Now it''s left behind.


    But when you think about the many things you have to deal with, you''ll put out your mind to leave.


    After moving the capital, after all, there are a myriad of ideas.


    Liu Xiu arranged everything and let everyone leave.


    He went to the harem and talked to Huang Yueying about going to war.


    Then Liu Xiu took Deng Zhan to the warehouse. So Liu Xiuzhi went to the warehouse to extract the thousand jin pumpkin seeds awarded by the system. He''s out on the field, and he doesn''t know how long it''s going to take.


    Once you miss the sowing season, it''s a pity.


    So before you leave, you have to extract the pumpkin seeds.


    The warehouse is very spacious, stacking grain, thousands of Jin can easily accommodate.


    Liu Xiu asked everyone to wait outside the room. Standing in the room, he called out the Warring States system and said in his heart, "system, I want to get the reward of pumpkin seeds."


    "Bonus draw!"


    The voice of the system''s indifference rang out in Liu Xiu''s mind.


    In a flash, there were ten more sacks in the room.


    Each sack contains 100 Jin of pumpkin seeds.


    These pumpkin seeds are used for sowing.


    Liu Xiu''s eyes swept, but he saw a thread bound book on the top of a sack. This thread bound book records in detail the sowing season of pumpkin seeds, as well as matters needing attention in seedling raising and planting.


    All the words are the words of this era.


    When Liu Xiu saw it, he had a bright smile on his face.


    With this operation guide, he just needs to give the book to Kuai Liang, and Kuai Liang can arrange it properly.


    "Somebody


    Liu Xiu called.


    "Creak!"


    The door was pushed open and Deng Zhan came in.


    As soon as Deng Zhanyi entered the room, he was stunned.


    Ten more sacks appeared in his sight. You know, he chose this warehouse. It''s empty and there''s nothing in it. Why do you suddenly have ten more sacks?


    Deng Zhan feels strange.


    But in the current situation, he didn''t dare to ask any more questions. He just saluted.


    Liu Xiu said, "please come to the warehouse."


    "Here it is


    Deng Zhan left the warehouse and sent someone to inform Kuai Liang.


    At this time, Deng Zhan''s heart is still full of doubts. But this doubt, he can only pressure in the heart, dare not ask. He thought about it and couldn''t understand it, so he could only blame it on miracles.


    After all, the miracles that happened to Liu Xiu were not just one or two.

 Chapter 844

    After a short time, Kuai Liang came to the warehouse in a hurry.


    Instead of rushing into the warehouse, he looked at Deng Zhan and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Deng, what can I do for your majesty?"


    Deng Zhan is still shocked at the moment.


    He was shocked by a scene in the warehouse.


    He returned to his senses, with a smile, waved his hand and said, "Kuai Shoufu will know when he enters."


    Kuai Liang frowned.


    What''s the matter? It''s worth Deng Zhan''s concealing.


    Kuai Liang takes a deep breath, calms himself down, pushes the door open and enters the warehouse.


    Seeing Liu Xiu standing in the warehouse, Kuai Liang bowed and said, "minister Kuai Liang, I''d like to see your majesty."


    Liu Xiu waved and said with a smile, "Kuai Qing, come here."


    Kuai Liang came to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, what''s the matter?"


    At this time, Kuai Liang did not know what it was.


    Liu Xiu handed Kuai Liang the pumpkin manual and said, "have a look."


    Kuai Liang took it and read it carefully.


    There were not many instructions. In a short time, Kuai Liang read them all.


    After reading it, Kuai liang thought about the introduction of pumpkin production on the last page. He could not help swallowing a mouthful of saliva and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, is this true?"


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "what do you say?"


    Kuai Liang couldn''t help taking a step forward, opened a sack of linen and grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds.


    He looked at the pumpkin seed the size of his little finger''s fingernail and said with a smile, "just like this seed, if you plant it after raising seedlings, it will yield more than ten thousand jin per mu. Your majesty, I still doubt it. Since ancient times, there is only such food. "


    The yield of pumpkin is very high, especially the blooming and Fruiting of energy source.


    The yield per mu can reach ten thousand jin.


    Ten sacks of pumpkin seeds were piled up in the warehouse.


    After planting, I don''t know how many pumpkins will be produced.


    This kind of food shocked Kuai Liang.


    Liu Xiu smile, explained: "Kuai Qing, this can really reach ten thousand jin per mu."


    "Because it''s food from heaven."


    "God asked me to have a dream and said that in the storehouse, there will be food seeds, which are called pumpkin. And these ten sacks, which contain pumpkin seeds


    "The planting manual records when pumpkin was bred and planted."


    "Everything is up to you."


    "This is the first year of planting. It must be properly arranged."


    "After the first year of flowering and fruiting, there are more seeds, and next year, they can be spread on a large scale."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes were solemn and said solemnly, "Kuai Qing, I''ll leave this matter to you."


    "Here it is


    Kuai Liang''s heart stirred.


    At this time, Kuai Liang felt both shock and joy.


    It''s amazing that there''s such amazing food.


    I''m glad that God has blessed me.


    Kuai Liang has no doubt about the God''s dream mentioned by Liu Xiu.


    When he was in Xiangyang, he witnessed with his own eyes the meteorite falling from the sky turning into eight characters, which dissipated on Liu Xiu.


    Seeing the miracles on Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu said that heaven was a dream, Kuai Liang had no doubt.


    Liu Xiu was relieved to see Kuai Liang believe it.


    For the food seeds produced by the system, he can only rely on the theory of gods and monsters, otherwise it is difficult to explain. He said with a smile: "this batch of seeds are temporarily placed in the palace. At the right time, you arrange for the soldiers to move out and find someone to raise the seedlings. "


    "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will handle this matter well."


    Kuai Liang made it a top priority.


    Although there are a lot of things going on in the DPRK, every one of them is extremely important.


    But compared with pumpkin, pumpkin breeding is more important.


    Kuai Liang left excitedly.


    Liu Xiu looked at Kuai Liang''s back as he left with a smile on his lips.


    Kuai Liang, as the first assistant of the cabinet, will tell Jia Xu, Zhang Zhao and others about pumpkin when he learns about it.


    Once the news comes out, it will cause a sensation again.


    In this way, Jia Xu and others will do their best.


    The theory of gods and monsters has always been mysterious.


    Liu Xiu''s body is covered with a veil of heaven''s protection. If his ministers can''t really see it, they will feel that Liu Xiu is very mysterious. In addition, Liu Xiu''s foundation is stronger and stronger, so officials will be more loyal.


    All this is the blessing of the Warring States system.


    However, Liu Xiu did not know how the system would change in the future.


    It''s only one step at a time.


    Up to now, at least, it is in Liu Xiu''s favor.


    Liu Xiu arranged the pumpkin seeds, left the warehouse and went back to the palace to wait.


    In half a day, wenpin mobilized the army.The army is ready.


    After wenpin reported to the palace, Liu Xiu and wenpin went out together.


    Accompanied by Huang Hu, Sha Moke, Ma Chao and Zhang Yan, as well as the people in the royal guards.


    Now that the state of Chu has moved its capital, Luoyang has a myriad of problems and needs the help of the royal guards. Therefore, Liu Xiu did not let Deng Zhan accompany him, but let Deng Zhan stay in Luoyang to assist Kuai Liang, Zhang Zhao and others in handling affairs.


    The army is on the March, mighty.


    Wenpin mobilized 50000 elite soldiers this time.


    These 50000 elites are all excellent generals trained by wenpin over the years.


    In the army, there are Wen pin, Ma Chao and Zhang Yan, as well as Sha Moke and Huang Hu.


    This army is enough to confront Cao Cao.


    After leaving Luoyang, the army went straight to Chenliu County of Yanzhou. When the army led by Liu Xiu and Wen pin arrived in Kaifeng County, Cao Cao arrived in Chenliu County of Chenliu county.


    Kaifeng County borders Chenliu county.


    One is located in Sili area, and the other is located in Chenliu County of Yanzhou.


    The two counties are on the border.


    Liu Xiu and Cao Cao arrived respectively.


    In mid March, they met again at the border of Kaifeng and Chenliu counties.


    When the two armies met head-on, Cao Cao ordered a fierce attack without saying a word.


    Two armies, frontal assault.


    In this war, the sky was dark and the earth was dark.


    Wenpin''s 50000 soldiers are elite, and Cao Cao''s tens of thousands of troops are also strong. The two sides fought and failed to decide the outcome. They camped and confronted each other.


    Chu army camp.


    In the accounts of the Chinese army.


    Liu Xiu convened his military officers to discuss the matter.


    Xu Shu, Wen pin, Ma Chao, Zhang Yan, Huang Hu, and Sha Mo Ke are all here.


    As soon as we arrived at the border of Kaifeng County, we had a direct confrontation with Cao Cao. This is the first time to fight, there is no division


    "But it has been seven days since the first fight."


    "In the past seven days, Cao Cao has not made any noise."


    "No troops, no fighting."


    "Such a situation is really strange. It''s not Cao Cao''s style."


    Liu Xiu looked at Xu Shu and others and said, "I''m sure Cao Cao is brewing a plot. However, it is not known what plot Cao Cao is planning. What do you think of this? "


    When they heard the speech, their faces were dignified.


    In this war, Cao Cao was confronted.


    After the first diplomatic war, Cao Cao adopted the strategy of strict prevention.


    With the influence of Cao Cao, he could not stick to it. It was not easy for the state of Chu to defeat the army of Wei.


    Huang Hu didn''t have any scruples. Seeing that people didn''t open their mouths, he said: "Your Majesty, what can Cao Cao do? We have strong crossbows and powerful catapults. We can make a way out with our weapons. As long as you find a way out, you can enter the military camp of the state of Wei and defeat the other side. "


    Liu Xiu mouth slightly twitch, not angry way: "really as you say so relaxed, that''s good."


    It''s not so easy to attack the city and plunder the land.


    If Cao Cao''s troops were weak, he would win by attacking Cao Cao''s camp.


    The problem is that Cao Cao is very powerful.


    Cao Cao''s elite troops are no less powerful than Liu Xiu''s.


    Under such circumstances, it is not easy to attack Cao Cao''s barracks by force.

 Chapter 845

    After Liu Xiu''s words, Huang Hu smiles and closes his mouth.


    He is not interested in platoon arrangement. What he is good at is one strength reduction and ten meetings. After encountering the enemy, he waved two golden hammers and smashed them in disorder to completely solve all the troubles.


    The arrangement on the battlefield is just not what he is good at.


    Liu Xiu looked at the others and asked, "what do you think?"


    After thinking about it, Zhang Yan said slowly, "Your Majesty, the general thinks that for the time being, we should keep unchanged to cope with changes."


    "The key point is that Cao Cao initiated the war on his own initiative."


    "Then, Cao Cao must have some action."


    "Otherwise, why should Cao Cao rush to fight this battle?"


    "Cao Cao, as one of the attackers, is not in a hurry now. What are we in a hurry?"


    In the eyes of Zhang jaw, the essence is shining.


    Once upon a time, he was the Ministry of Cao Cao.


    After returning to Liu Xiu, he was always by his side and took part in several wars.


    However, he also got a lot of rewards and was highly valued by Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "go on!"


    Zhang Yan was encouraged and continued: "at present, there are elite soldiers guarding every checkpoint and every important road along the way in the state of Chu."


    "Even if Cao Cao wants to make small moves, it''s not easy."


    "So, just wait."


    Zhang Yan said firmly, "I will conclude that Cao Cao will show his horse''s feet soon."


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    There is a certain truth in the analysis of Zhangyan.


    Now it is impossible to judge Cao Cao''s intention, and it is the most appropriate way to observe his change.


    As long as Cao Cao has action, he will be exposed.


    Ma Chao answered and said, "Your Majesty, there will be an idea." As Ma Yunlu''s elder brother, Ma Chao has a special identity. He is not only his brother-in-law, but also Liu Xiu''s minister.


    Since then, Ma has been extremely low-key.


    Don''t make trouble for Ma Yunlu.


    It doesn''t make people think that Ma Chao is a troublemaker.


    However, Ma Chao''s heart, there has been an idea, he wants revenge.


    Revenge for your brother, revenge for your father.


    If he does not destroy Cao Cao, his resentment will not disappear.


    Liu Xiu looked at Ma Chao with a smile on his face and asked, "what do Meng Qi think?"


    Ma Chao replied: "please tell your majesty, now the two armies are facing each other and the situation is not clear. Just as general Zhang said, we should respond to changes with constancy. But in this case, nothing can be done. Your majesty, please give the last general a thousand talents, and the last general will sneak into Cao Cao''s hinterland with his soldiers to add chaos to Cao Cao, and then look for opportunities to cut off Cao Cao''s food supply. "


    "No way!"


    Liu Xiu didn''t even think about it and refused.


    It is extremely dangerous to go deep into Cao Cao''s hinterland.


    Once blocked by Cao Cao''s army, Ma Chao will be surrounded.


    Ma Chao is Ma Yunlu''s elder brother. As a subordinate of Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu should also consider Ma Chao''s safety. Ma Chao should not take risks easily.


    Cao Cao is not an ordinary person, but Liu Xiu''s most important enemy.


    Cao Cao is cunning and knows how to use the army.


    Liu Xiu didn''t dare to be slack in fighting with Cao Cao.


    Once Ma Chao goes deep behind the enemy lines, especially when he leads his troops, it will be very dangerous.


    Liu Xiu''s reaction was expected by Ma Chao.


    Ma Chao was not anxious, and continued: "Your Majesty, I have thought about it. It''s thoughtful. Please allow me."


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "no way!"


    He doesn''t want Ma Chao to take risks.


    Anyway, the confrontation between Chu and Wei was not urgent.


    Ma Chao was determined, but still did not give up. He said once again, "Your Majesty, there are three reasons why the general asked to lead the troops to the war."


    "First, the situation is unclear and the deadlock must be broken."


    "If the confrontation is maintained, it is difficult to judge what thoughts Cao Cao has in mind."


    "In battle, one step behind, one step behind."


    "The war with Cao Cao, in particular, should not give Cao Cao an advantage."


    "After the end general led 1000 soldiers to sneak into Chenliu County, he could not only inquire about Cao''s army in the territory of Wei, but also act as bandits and mountain bandits to make trouble in Chenliu County, restrain Cao Cao''s forces and distract him."


    "Second, the last general was born in the northwest, accustomed to horse fighting and more used to attacking."


    "In the northwest frontier, the way of fighting was mostly nomadic fighting."


    "If the enemy is weak, they will fight in a swarm."


    "If the enemy is strong, he will retreat."


    "At the end of the day, he will sneak into Chenliu county with a thousand soldiers, and he will take such a strategy to make trouble for Cao Cao."


    "Third, your majesty and Cao Cao confront each other. Cao Cao''s army has to be on guard against your majesty and can''t separate the heavy troops to attack the last general."


    "We are absolutely safe as long as we are restrained by your majesty.""There will be no danger in this war."


    Ma Chao clasped his hands and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the last general only needs a thousand talents. As long as there are a thousand talents, the end will certainly be able to open up the situation, resolve the current deadlock, and create an opportunity for your majesty to defeat Cao Cao. "


    Liu Xiu was silent when he heard the speech.


    From the bottom of his heart, he doesn''t want Ma Chao to play. It''s not easy.


    But from Ma Chao''s words, he recognized Ma Chao''s determination.


    Ma Chao is determined. He really wants to lead the army.


    Liu Xiusi thought about it and asked, "I''ll ask you a question. If you can answer it, I''ll allow you to fight."


    Ma Chao said excitedly: "please ask your majesty a question."


    Liu Xiu said: "you take a thousand soldiers to sneak into Chenliu county. There are not twenty or thirty people under your command, but a thousand people. A thousand soldiers eat and drink Lhasa every day and consume a lot of food. "


    "Even if you have dry food, you have three or five days of dry food."


    "After entering Chenliu County, how are you going to take food?"


    "Without enough food, your soldiers can''t hold on for ten days and a half months."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes twinkled and asked.


    Before the troops and horses moved, food and grass came first.


    Grain and grass are the most important strategic materials and the most important link.


    If food and grass were not available, even without Cao Cao''s attack, Ma Chao''s army would collapse.


    This is a very realistic problem.


    After Ma Chao listened to it, he said humbly: "report back to your majesty, the last general has just said it."


    "When Mo Jiang sneaks into Chenliu county with 1000 soldiers, he will disguise himself as bandits and mountain bandits. Since they are bandits, it is not difficult for them to rob some rich families. "


    "Moreover, after the end will sneak into Chenliu County, will break into parts."


    "Soldiers sneak into a county and control it in silence."


    "As long as the city behind Cao Cao is controlled in secret, there will be a chance to cut off Cao Cao''s military supplies and defeat him."


    Ma Chao said: "I will think about it clearly. Please allow me."


    After listening, Liu Xiu understood Ma Chao''s thinking.


    But it is extremely difficult to do so.


    The slightest carelessness will lead to danger.


    Liu Xiu knew he couldn''t stop him. He asked in a deep voice again, "Ma Chao, have you really thought it over?"


    Ma Chao Baoquan said: "the end will consider clearly, please your Majesty''s permission."


    "Well, I will allow you to lead the troops."


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I''m asking you, are you sure it''s a thousand people? There is a great difference between one thousand and three hundred or five hundred. It''s not easy to ration a thousand people. "


    Ma Chao smile, confident: "a thousand people on a thousand people, the end will not drop the chain."


    "Good!"


    When Liu Xiu responded, he would not say much.


    Ma Chao decided, but also conducive to break the situation, Liu Xiu had to agree.


    Even if Ma Chao is in danger, Liu Xiu can send troops to contain Cao Cao, and then ease Ma Chao''s danger.


    Ma Chao was excited to see Liu Xiu answer.


    This time, he had a chance to fight.


    Liu Xiu looked at the crowd and Xu Shu, and said, "Yuanzhi, what do you think?"


    Xu Shu didn''t speak until Liu Xiu asked, he said slowly: "Your Majesty, I also think Cao Cao has a conspiracy. In my opinion, there are two possibilities for Cao Cao to initiate war on his own initiative, but not to fight. First, we are still deploying troops to prepare for the next round of offensive. Second, wait for the news and the time to start. Perhaps Cao Cao''s main battlefield is not in Chenliu county. "


    When Liu Xiu heard the speech, a light flashed in his eyes.


    Xu Shu''s words made Liu Xiu''s point.


    What if Cao Cao''s main battlefield had not been here?


    Liu Xiu was a little short of breath and said in a deep voice: "Yuanzhi, Cao Cao took the initiative to fight, except for our battlefield. Where do you think Cao Cao would choose to attack again? "

 Chapter 846

    Xu Shu made an analysis, and he said firmly: "if Cao Cao wants to do something, his goal must be Nanyang."


    Liu Xiumei shook his head and asked, "why?"


    Xu Shu pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Chu and Wei confrontation, Cao Cao and his majesty confrontation, in addition to Cao Cao now this road, the most suitable only Nanyang."


    "To the north, if we attack Chang''an and Liangzhou, we can''t get around Luoyang."


    "To the south, if we attack Jingzhou and Yangzhou, we can''t get around Nanyang."


    "Luoyang and Nanyang are the throats of Chu."


    "When Cao Cao captured Luoyang, he had a chance to get to Chang''an and Liangzhou. If Cao Cao captured Nanyang, he would have a chance to go south to Jingzhou and Yangzhou. "


    "It''s very strange that Cao Cao stationed troops in Chenliu County, and after some fighting, he just stood still."


    "If Cao Cao had another battlefield, he would be in Nanyang."


    Xu Shu''s eyes are shining with wisdom.


    Under Liu Xiu''s command, Xu Shu was not brilliant.


    This is not because Xu Shu is not competent, but because Xu Shu has always been rooted in the army.


    They are either stationed in Xiangyang or Luoyang.


    Xu Shu did not take part in all previous wars. However, Xu Shu''s ability was no less than that of Pang Tong and others.


    Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Yuanzhi, I also agree with your analysis."


    "If Cao Cao opens up another battlefield, he must be in Nanyang."


    "But it''s not easy to have Zhang Ren in Nanyang."


    Liu Xiu''s expression was solemn and his eyes looked forward to it.


    At present, we can only expect Zhang Ren to stabilize the situation.


    Xu Shu''s expression was dignified. After thinking for a while, he continued: "Your Majesty, to attack Nanyang, there is not only one way to go south from Yingchuan County, but also another way to go to Yuzhou and obliquely plunge into Nanyang. There are many mountain roads along this road, but it will work


    Liu Xiu nodded and agreed with Xu Shu''s analysis.


    If Cao Cao is determined to attack Nanyang County, he can really go to Yuzhou.


    But Jingzhou is not without strength.


    In Xiangyang, Jingzhou, there is an army under the command of Zhao Yun.


    Zhao Yun was originally stationed in Wuling county. Because wenpin went to Luoyang, Zhao Yun was transferred back to Xiangyang and led his army to stay in Xiangyang.


    Moreover, Jiang Xia also had the garrison of taishici.


    It can be said that Xiangyang is as solid as gold.


    If Cao Cao''s army raided Nanyang County, it would not benefit much.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier entered quickly.


    The soldier knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, please read the war report just received."


    With these words, the soldier handed in the war report.


    Liu Xiu took it, looked at the lacquer of the envelope, and then opened it. After reading it, he looked gloomy and said in a deep voice, "Yuanzhi, you guessed it. Nanyang County was attacked."


    Xu Shu couldn''t wait to ask: "Your Majesty, who will lead the Cao army?"


    Liu xiudao: "Zhang Liao."


    The man who came back to Cao Cao caught Liu Xiu by surprise.


    Xu Shu asked again, "what''s the result?"


    Liu Xiu said: "Zhang Liao led a large army into Nanyang County and captured Wan county directly with a thunderous attack. This is the news so far. The latest situation is not clear for the moment. "


    Xu Shu''s face became serious.


    Wen pin, Ma Chao and others are worried.


    Who did not expect, Cao Cao arranged a trump card, raided Nanyang County.


    In this way, it was extremely unfavorable to the state of Chu.


    Xu Shu''s mind changed rapidly, thinking about the solution. He thought and analyzed: "Your Majesty, Wan county is lost and Nanyang County is in crisis. What will Zhang Liao do next? "


    "Weichen thinks that there are three possibilities."


    "First, Zhang Liao will attack Zhang Ren''s headquarters in Yingchuan county from Nanyang."


    "Second, go north to Luoyang and attack our rear."


    "Third, go south to Jingzhou and disrupt the situation in the south."


    "But if we carefully analyze these three possibilities, in fact, only the first one should be effective."


    "The first one, if you have mental calculation but no intention, is enough to catch any one off guard."


    "Second, Luoyang is the hinterland, but also the imperial capital."


    "Although there are not many troops in Luoyang, Luoyang is a strong city and has certain strength. Even if Zhang Liao invades Luoyang, even if the garrison of Luoyang can''t defeat Zhang Liao, it''s no problem to delay three or five days. "


    "And three or five days is enough for us to feel Luoyang."


    "Even if we can''t get there, Zhao Yun in the South will surely go north and catch up with Zhang Liao."


    "Third, Xiangyang is our former base camp."


    "In Jingzhou and Yangzhou, the legions are stationed and there are many troops."


    "If Zhang Liao leads his army to the south, he may not be able to get the benefit.""In addition to the different fighting methods in the south, it was difficult for Zhang Liao''s cavalry to give full play to their strength when they entered Xiangyang. So Wei Chen concluded that Zhang Liao could not go south. "


    Xu Shu analyzed them one by one.


    The more he analyzed, the more frightened he was.


    Suddenly, Xu Shu said aloud, "Your Majesty, I understand. Zhang Liao attacked Wan county to attack Zhang Ren. "


    "Zhang Ren was stationed in Yingchuan County, very close to Nanyang."


    "When Nanyang fell and news came out, the first person to get the news must be Zhang Ren."


    "Zhang Ren''s emphasis on WAN county is bound to send troops to rescue."


    "When Zhang Liao conquered Wan County, he had enough time. He can lay an ambush and wait for Zhang Ren to get in. As long as Zhang Ren sends troops, he will surely be ambushed. "


    Xu Shu''s eyes twinkled and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Liao''s goal must be Zhang Ren. This time, Zhang Ren is in danger."


    Liu Xiu frowned after listening.


    After hearing this, wenpin said, "Mr. Xu, your analysis is reasonable, and Zhang Liao did take Nanyang by surprise. But Zhang Ren is not bad. With general Zhang''s ability, even if he takes back Wan County, he can protect himself. "


    Xu Shu shook his head and sighed: "general, Zhang Liao is not an ordinary person. Moreover, Zhang Ren is at a disadvantage because of his mental calculation but not his intention, and the unequal information between the two sides. In addition, Wan county is Zhang Ren''s hometown, and a lot of grain and grass are transported from Wan county. Wan County lost, Zhang Ren can sit? If Zhang Ren rescues Wan County, he will fall into the trap. "


    "Step on it! Step on it


    Suddenly, another rush of footsteps came from outside the camp.


    A soldier entered, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, Nanyang war report."


    After receiving the war report, Liu Xiu read it again, looking full of regret, sighed: "unfortunately, we found it late. It''s really accurate for Yuan Zhi. Zhang Liao''s goal is Zhang Ren. "


    "Zhang Ren led his troops to withdraw from Yingchuan to Nanyang for rescue. This retreat was ambushed on the way to retreat."


    "Zhang Ren''s army suffered heavy losses in this war."


    "Fortunately, Zhao Yun acted decisively. When he got the loss of Wan County, he decisively led his troops north."


    "When Zhang Ren was defeated and killed, Zhao Yun led a team of vanguard cavalry to kill him and rescued Zhang Ren."


    "But Zhang Ren''s army is almost disabled."


    Liu Xiu clenched the war report and squeezed it into a group, with an angry look in his eyes.


    Cao Cao made a wonderful move this time.


    In this game, Cao Cao won the first step.


    Liu Xiu continued: "after the first World War in Nanyang, Zhao Yun led his troops to fight and recaptured Wan County, while Zhang Liao withdrew from Nanyang County and stationed in Yingchuan county."


    "Now Nanyang County is still under our control. Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao confront each other."


    "This time, Cao Cao won."


    "The battle in Nanyang has come to an end. Cao Cao should be ready to take action soon."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes twinkled with light.


    This time, Cao Cao caught him by surprise.


    It''s true that Liu Xiu was negligent before. Before that, he was busy with moving the capital.


    As a result, he ignored many things and was drilled into Confucius by Cao Cao.


    Take a cut and learn.


    Now, Liu Xiu has to make a fresh start, wrestle with Cao Cao and take back all the losses.


    Cao Cao just won the opening game, and the battle has just begun.


    The final victory must belong to Liu Xiu.

 Chapter 847

    Xu Shu stroked his beard under his jaw and said nothing.


    The amount of information sent back in succession is so large that he has to digest it well.


    All the people looked serious.


    Since the founding of the state of Chu, and even further forward, since Liu Xiu inherited Jingzhou and presided over the overall situation of Jingzhou, there has never been a precedent that his army was completely crippled. Now Zhang Ren has set a precedent.


    This had a great influence on the state of Chu.


    News spread, Zhang Ren''s body, there must be a stain.


    Wenpin and Zhang Ren have a good relationship. He also wants to help Zhang Ren, but he has nothing to do but sigh.


    Xu Shu thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, although Zhang Ren failed, it''s not the time to investigate the responsibility, nor is it the time to let anyone be responsible."


    "If you punish Zhang Ren, you can only hurt your parents and make enemies quick."


    "The most important thing right now is to think about how to deal with it."


    "After Zhang Ren''s defeat, the occupied counties of Yingchuan County lost control. We have lost the bridgehead to attack Yingchuan county. If we want to be like Yingchuan county again, we have to plan again. "


    "Zhang Liao is a great general of Cao Cao, who is good at fighting."


    "It''s not easy to deal with such a person."


    Xu Shu, with a solemn face, continued: "especially when we are still facing Cao Cao. Now Cao Cao is pressing us step by step. The state of Chu is not in a good situation."


    "Of course, it''s not as bad as you think."


    "But after Zhang Ren''s defeat, it was more difficult for the state of Chu to defeat the state of Wei and rule the whole country."


    "So next, you can''t allow that to happen again."


    "Otherwise, no matter how good the foundation of Chu state is, it will not be able to withstand the ups and downs."


    Xu Shu analyzed the situation, he said: "Your Majesty, I suggest giving Zhang Ren and others the opportunity to commit crimes."


    Liu Xiu nodded and agreed with Xu Shu''s analysis.


    It is impossible for Liu Xiu not to be angry at Zhang Ren''s heavy loss.


    However, Liu Xiu has to consider the current situation.


    Now it''s a critical time for the state of Chu and Wei to fight.


    At this time, we must be cautious.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "in view of the current situation, Cao Cao has launched a full-scale war, and the state of Chu can not fall behind. If we want to start a war, we should make a decisive battle and stop procrastinating. "


    Looking forward to it, Xu Shu asked, "how does your majesty plan to arrange it?"


    Before the war, Pang Tong, Fazheng and others participated in the small war.


    Now with the state of Wei decisive battle, he as a counselor with Liu Xiu''s side, Xu Shu is extremely excited.


    It''s a great honor to follow Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "next, there are two arrangements."


    "First, Huang Zhong was ordered to send the soldiers of the second army northward to attack Xuzhou and the southern part of the state of Wei."


    "Second, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang Song''s crimes were put on hold, and they were ordered to assist Zhao Yun and perform meritorious deeds. Zhao Yun was ordered to take Zhang Liao and enter Yuzhou as soon as possible. "


    "If we want to go to war, we should go to war in an all-round way and see how Cao Cao deals with it."


    Liu Xiu''s eyes sparkled with fine light.


    For Liu Xiu, all the main generals under his command are first-class generals.


    Zhao Yun can take charge alone, Zhang Ren and Wei Yan can, and Huang Zhong is an experienced veteran.


    With these people, Liu Xiu is not afraid of Cao Cao.


    After self-cultivation, Chu had the strength to go to war.


    After hearing this, Xu Shu thought about the whole arrangement and said, "Your Majesty, will Huang Zhong go north to Xuzhou and ask Lu Xun to help him? Although Lu Xun''s formation of the Navy did not produce much effect, the water army under Lu Xun''s command was elite. It should be beneficial to the war in Xuzhou to let Lu Xun dispatch troops to assist General Huang. "


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu said, "Yuanzhi, it''s up to you to draw up the imperial edict and hand it to the royal guards to arrange it as soon as possible."


    "Here it is


    Xu Shu should go down.


    At this time, Xu Shu knew that Chu and Wei were at war in an all-round way.


    Xu Shu inquired: "Your Majesty, General Ma is going to sneak into Chenliu County, and do we take action?"


    So far, there has been no movement in the confrontation between the army and Cao Cao.


    Now that the war is in full swing, the army along the way should also take action.


    Liu Xiu said: "it is necessary to attack Cao Cao. Only in this way can Cao Cao''s attention be attracted and Meng Qi enter Chenliu County smoothly. Tomorrow morning, the army will pull out and attack Cao Cao''s camp. "


    "Here it is


    When they heard the words, they all agreed.


    After a crowd dispersed, Liu Xiu sat in the tent, thinking about the next direction.


    And Cao Cao began a decisive battle, Liu Xiu arranged three lines, almost three lines of combat.


    The next morning, the army set out.


    The army of Chu came to Cao Cao''s camp and formed an array.


    Tens of thousands of troops are arrayed in a mighty and shocking array.


    Liu Xiu rode his horse in front of the army, and his eyes fell on the gate of Cao Jun''s camp.At the gate of Cao''s army, Cao Cao, dressed in armor, also rode his horse.


    At this time, Cao Cao was in high spirits.


    The news of Nanyang County came back. The first battle of Zhang Liao destroyed almost all the troops under Zhang Ren''s command.


    Such a victory is not a big one.


    Since the war between Cao Cao and Liu Xiu, this is the biggest victory so far.


    Cao Cao took a deep breath, raised his voice and said, "Liu Xiandi, have you ever heard from Nanyang County?"


    This question is to sprinkle salt on Liu Xiu''s wound.


    Liu Xiu looked the same and said, "brother Meng De is really a good tool. He learned how to attack the West and hit me in silence. During this period of time, brother Meng de can''t come out. I think brother Meng De is afraid. I didn''t expect that you were brewing a conspiracy. "


    Cao Cao had a strong smile on his face.


    He heard the irony in and out of Liu Xiu''s words, but his heart was happy.


    Winning Liu Xiu is the most important thing.


    Cao Cao stroked his white beard under his jaw and said with a smile, "dear brother, don''t you know the tricks of the soldiers? You and I have been fighting for many years. Don''t you know my style? "


    Liu Xiu said, "I know what brother Meng de does? I only need to defeat brother mengde. I don''t care about the rest. Today, I come to show my shame. "


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Cao Cao said with a smile: "welcome, my dear brother. I''ve been waiting for you for a long time. You have to fight. I will accompany you to the end. "


    Cao Cao''s words are extremely domineering.


    Cao Cao is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He is not afraid of Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu no longer talks nonsense. He and Cao Cao are both enemies and friends. Although they are bosom friends, they are also enemies of life and death.


    Liu Xiu ordered: "wenpin, attack."


    "Here it is


    Wen pin got the order and ordered the attack directly.


    Liu Xiu''s archers, archers and catapults were the first to attack.


    Three big killers came forward, quickly in place, and then ferociously bombed Cao Cao''s camp.


    After some bombing, the soldiers attacked.


    The confrontation between the two sides is a positive confrontation.


    Cao Cao''s soldiers are all elite, even though Liu Xiu''s army is strong, they can''t get the advantage.


    The fight between the two sides is rather a stalemate.


    Time goes by day.


    Liu Xiu and Cao Cao are still fighting.


    At this time, Ma Chao sneaked into Chenliu county to prepare for the next action.


    In the south, Nanyang County.


    Wan County, outside the city.


    There is an army stationed outside the city.


    This army is led by Zhao Yun.


    The military adviser of Zhao Yun''s army was Lu su. After Lu Su was transferred, there was no arrangement for the time being.


    now, Zhao Yun has the final say in the army.


    In the big account.


    Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang Song are deliberating.


    Four people sitting together.


    Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Ren and said, "General Zhang, Zhang Liao is stationed in Yingchuan county. His counselors, our people have found out, it''s Xun you. Xun you and Zhang Liao are both excellent characters. To defeat Zhang Liao and Xun you, we must cooperate sincerely. "


    Zhao Yun knows Zhang Ren''s ability.


    In the past, Zhang Renzhen defended Xinye County, Nanyang County, and resisted Cao Ren''s army, making Cao Ren unable to move forward.


    Zhang Ren was beaten by surprise when he failed this time.


    Zhang Ren listened to Zhao Yun''s words, shook his head and sighed, and said: "General Zhao, in this war, I lost my troops and defeated my generals, and I lost the face of the state of Chu."


    "Now I am guilty."


    "You asked me to cooperate with you sincerely, how to cooperate? Isn''t that a drag on you? "


    "When the news of my defeat comes to your ears, I''m afraid your majesty will be angry. It''s a question whether I can take part in the war again."


    Zhang Ren also wants to take part in the war.


    However, he lost to Zhang Liao and made a big mistake.


    Zhao Yun hoped Zhang Ren would stay. He said again, "General Zhang, if we beat Zhang Liao together before the king''s order arrives, won''t you be ashamed? You will be able to do your duty in front of your majesty. "

 Chapter 848

    After hearing Zhao Yun''s words, Zhang Ren felt a little excited.


    This time, he was a defeated general.


    After Liu Xiu''s surrender, Zhang Ren had never suffered such a disastrous defeat. This battle was a disgrace.


    If you can be a shame before snow, you can also make a difference to Liu Xiu.


    Wei Yan didn''t want to go to Luoyang, he was very emotional.


    See Zhang Ren some heart, but some hesitation, Wei Yanquan said: "General Zhang, the end will think that General Zhao''s words are reasonable."


    "We''ll wait. There''s no chance of turning things around."


    "Once your Majesty''s edict comes, we can only go to Luoyang to be punished."


    "I think we can have a try."


    Wei Yanquan said: "as long as we defeat Zhang Liao and capture Yingchuan County, we can attack Cao Cao with your majesty. This war can be regarded as atonement. "


    Zhang song as a military strategist, he was not willing to fail, and then advised: "General Zhang, have a try."


    Zhao Yun saw in the eye, also hoped Zhang Ren to cheer up.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came in.


    The soldier''s face was solemn. After a salute, he took out a letter and handed it up. He said solemnly, "this is from the royal guards. Please read it."


    Zhao Yun took it over and looked at it carefully.


    Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang Song are all worried.


    All three knew that the news of Liu xiulai must be about them.


    Zhao Yun after reading, his face showed a smile.


    He handed the letter to Zhang Ren and said with a smile, "General Zhang, come and have a look."


    Zhang Ren received it and was very excited after watching it.


    However, it is also a shame.


    Zhang Ren looked at Wei Yan and Zhang Song and said, "when Yingchuan was defeated, your majesty said that we were guilty. However, because the war was tight, we were forced to cooperate with General Zhao to fight against Zhang Liao. His majesty said that if Zhang Liao was defeated, he would be punished as appropriate. If we can''t defeat Zhang Liao, we will double the punishment. "


    Wei Yan and Zhang song also laughed.


    If they were punished more severely, they didn''t care.


    It''s important to stay and fight again.


    With a smile on his face, Zhao Yun said: "Your Majesty is a wise king. He has insight and will not cut his arm at a critical time. You are the crux of the battle, and no delay is allowed. "


    Zhang Ren was grateful to Liu Xiu. He looked at Zhao Yun and said, "General Zhang Ren is willing to listen to General Zhao."


    Wei Yan said: "Wei Yan, the last general, is willing to listen to the dispatch of General Zhao."


    Zhang song also said, "I''d like to listen to General Zhao."


    Zhao Yun looked at the excited three people, nodded slightly, and said: "between us, regardless of each other, we should cooperate sincerely. Now that your majesty has made arrangements, we have a good discussion about how to defeat Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao and Xun you are very smart people. They have outstanding intelligence. It is not easy to defeat them. "


    Zhao Yun looked at Zhang song, nodded and said, "what''s Mr. Zhang''s plan?"


    Zhang Song said without thinking: "can we use bitter meat?"


    "How to use it?" Zhao said


    Bitter meat strategy is a common strategy.


    If this strategy is used well, it will work wonders.


    Zhang Song said: "Your Majesty''s disposal of General Zhang and general Wei was sent by the royal guards, and there was no public information. In this case, why not create a false impression of forcing Zhang Ren and Wei Yan to go to Zhang Liao, and then wait for the opportunity to attack inside and outside? "


    "No way!"


    Zhao Yun didn''t even think about it and directly denied the proposal.


    Zhang Song said, "why?"


    Zhao Yun explained: "Zhang Junshi, Zhang Liao and Xun you are all wise men. We should try our best to hide their wisdom."


    "Moreover, even if the bitter meat scheme is successful, if there is a mistake between general Zhang and general Wei, it is not a success."


    "Save people and lose land, save land and lose people, I choose to save people and lose land."


    "As long as people are there, there will be opportunities for everything."


    "What''s more, general Zhang and general Wei are our generals. They can''t take risks."


    Zhao Yun was resolute and said firmly: "no matter what, general Zhang and general Wei should not be put into crisis. If we want to calculate Zhang Liao and Xun you, we should not do so. "


    After listening, Zhang Song sighed.


    He can''t use bitter meat, and he can''t help it.


    Wei Yan''s eyes twinkled with light. He said with a smile, "General Zhao and general Zhang, I have a plan. Can I help you?"


    "What strategy?"


    Zhao Yun said.


    Wei Yan said: "it is still by virtue of the fact that his majesty did not deal with our affairs openly. He falsely spread the news that his Majesty was angry at Zhang Ren''s failure. He ordered Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang song to be escorted to Kaifeng for trial."


    Zhang Song didn''t respond for a moment and said, "what is this to do?"


    When Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren heard the speech, their eyes lit up.Two people instantly understood.


    With a smile in his eyes, Zhao Yun asked, "Wen Chang, do you mean to lead the snake out of the cave?"


    Zhang Ren is also clear, but he is worried: "it''s not easy to lead the snake out of the hole."


    With a smile on his lips, Wei Yan was quite confident. He said firmly, "I think Zhang Liao and Xun you will send troops when they get the news."


    "There are three reasons to be humble."


    "First, that''s the most important reason."


    "Although the power of Wei is still relatively strong, on the whole, Wei is declining and weaker than Chu."


    "In particular, Cao Cao is old and eager to defeat his majesty."


    "If Cao Cao wants to defeat his majesty, he should not only seize the territory, but also seize his Majesty''s general."


    "The Fifth Army was defeated. Your majesty punished us severely, which is right."


    "At this time, it came out that we were escorted northward, especially through the border of Yingchuan county. At this time, can Zhang Liao and Xun you miss such an opportunity? "


    "You know, this is an opportunity to take the important general of Chu."


    Wei Yan talked with confidence.


    He is also a good soldier.


    Under Liu Xiu''s command, Wei Yan didn''t do much.


    But his cooperation with Zhang Ren ensured the stability of Nanyang County.


    After Wei Yan said the first point, he continued: "second, although Xun you and Zhang Liao have won a victory, they are still eager to be shamed."


    "Both Xunyou and Zhang Liao were once schemed by Lu Xun, so that they became captives."


    "In the end, they became his Majesty''s prisoners."


    "It''s a stain on both of them."


    "Now, although they return to the command of Cao Cao, they still want to be ashamed before the snow."


    "The best way is to capture your Majesty''s general."


    "And this time we are escorted north, it''s their chance."


    Wei Yan said the second reason.


    When the reason was given, everyone nodded slightly.


    Wei Yan''s analysis reveals the thoughts of Xun you and Zhang Liao, which is indeed a matter in the process of cleaning up.


    Wei Yan continued: "third, Zhang Liao and Xun you are smart people. When they get the news, they are likely to conclude that when we are escorted to the north, they will ambush us and count them."


    "That''s for sure."


    "But the general thought that Zhang Liao and Xun you were likely to adopt a stratagem after discussion."


    "Take advantage of the opportunity to fight for us, lead to our ambush, and then defeat the ambush."


    "For Zhang Liao, this is another excellent opportunity."


    Wei Yan gave a third reason.


    With three reasons, Wei Yan said: "on this basis, we will launch another surprise force, and the first world war will be the winner."


    At present, Wei Yan said the last surprise arrangement.


    After hearing this, Zhao Yun was pleasantly surprised and said happily, "the plan proposed by Wen Chang was supposed to be good and feasible. In particular, the final surprise plan was well considered and even more unexpected. It might be able to defeat Xun you and Zhang Liao in one go. "


    Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Ren and said, "General Zhang, what do you think?"


    Zhang Rendao: "I think it is feasible."


    After a pause, Zhang Ren said, "the only question is whether we should inform your majesty of what we are going to do. "


    after brushing his sleeves, Zhao Yun said forcefully," no need. There will still be such arbitrary power. Ben will also believe that your majesty will understand us. And the news couldn''t reach your majesty for a while. When your majesty knew the news, we all defeated Zhang Liao. "


    When they heard this, they all agreed.


    After several people reached a consensus, they all began to take action.

 Chapter 849

    Wan County, in the city.


    On the broad street, three prison cars drove slowly.


    Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang song, the military strategist, were imprisoned in the three vehicles.


    The three were dressed in prison clothes and dishevelled.


    Next to the van, followed by a convoy of soldiers.


    The prison car was driving on the street and soon attracted the attention of the people in Wan county.


    Most people in Wan County know Zhang Ren and others.


    After all, Zhang Ren has been stationed in Nanyang County.


    Therefore, shortly after the appearance of the three men''s prison car, it attracted the attention of countless people in Wan county. One by one, the people stood on both sides of the street, staring at the carriages, talking in private.


    "What''s the matter? General Zhang Ren was taken to the prison car. General Zhang is a good man. His soldiers never commit crimes. How did he get caught? "


    "Not only Zhang Ren, but also Wei Taishou."


    "In addition to Wei Yan, there is also military adviser Zhang song. What crime have they committed?"


    "Hey, hey, are you still talking about Zhang Ren''s crimes? Are you still from Wan county? Even Zhang Ren didn''t know about his defeat. Zhang Ren was stationed in Yingchuan County, but he was attacked by Zhang Liao and defeated. It is said that Zhang Ren led his troops back to rescue Wan County, but he failed at the expense of his troops. "


    "But I heard that his Majesty was very angry. He personally ordered the soldiers to escort the three men to the north for trial."


    "Their defeat really disgraced the state of Chu."


    "Yes, yes. Have we ever lost the battle between Chu and Cao Cao? Never lost. It''s the first time for someone like Zhang Ren to lose. It''s a shame to lose this time. "


    "It is estimated that Zhang Ren''s official position will be lost."


    "It''s the easiest thing to lose your official position. Can the officials in the court let Zhang Ren go back? "


    "In my opinion, Zhang Ren is miserable."


    ¡­¡­


    One by one, the people whispered and talked.


    Some people groan, some people look suddenly, some people look busy


    The white faces of all living beings are different.


    For the people of Wan County, Zhang Ren is a good general, but Zhang Ren is too far away from them.


    However, some people remember Zhang Ren and Wei Yan well.


    Zhang Ren was stationed in Nanyang, which ensured the stability of Nanyang.


    Wei Yan made great contribution to the development of Nanyang when he was the governor of Nanyang.


    Anyway, Zhang Ren was defeated.


    As Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang Song were escorted out of the city by the soldiers and went to Liu Xiu''s camp, the news spread completely.


    This news soon spread to Yingchuan.


    Zhang Liao''s spies got the news and presented it directly.


    Zhang Liao immediately sent for Xunyou to discuss the matter. As soon as Xun you entered the camp, he sat down and said with a smile, "general, what''s the matter?"


    After defeating Zhang Ren, Xun you advised Zhang Liao to stop fighting and stabilize the situation in Yingchuan county.


    Zhang Ren was defeated. It was Zhang Ren who was worried. He was the king of Chu.


    As long as Zhang Liao patiently waits, sooner or later he will be able to wait for the chance to make a move.


    Therefore, Xun you and Zhang Liao had nothing to do during this period of time, and they were quite idle.


    Zhang Liao said, "our chance has come, military strategist."


    Xun you''s spirit was aroused and he asked, "what''s the chance?"


    For Xun you, he couldn''t wait to defeat Chu.


    However, Xun you''s reason told him that Chu was a giant, and the generals of Chu were not easy to be compared with. They could not act too fast, but had to wait patiently.


    Now that Zhang Liao said that he had the opportunity, Xun you was excited.


    Zhang Liao said: "the spy just sent back the news. Liu Xiu was very angry when he got the news of Zhang Ren''s defeat."


    "Liu Xiu ordered the soldiers to escort Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang song to the north."


    "This is our chance."


    "Last time we fought with Zhang Ren, if Zhao Yunheng didn''t intervene, we could capture Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang song alive."


    "It''s a pity that Zhao Yun suddenly appeared, which made us fall short of success."


    "This time, the three were escorted northward. It''s our chance."


    Zhang Liao''s eyes twinkled with excitement, and he couldn''t wait to say, "military strategist, think carefully, how proud Liu Xiu is that he has become the emperor of Chu from a concubine."


    "Once we catch Zhang Ren and others, where is Liu Xiu''s face?"


    "What''s more, Zhang Ren and others were defeated. Now they are escorted north, and they will be punished soon. At this time, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang Song were the easiest to persuade them to surrender. "


    "If we arrest the three, we can weaken Liu Xiu."


    "This is increasing our power."


    Zhang Liao leaned forward slightly. He said, "I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It''s also an opportunity created by Liu Xiu."Thinking of Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang song being escorted to the north, Zhang Liao was happy.


    Liu Xiu is the happiest.


    And this result is what Zhang Liao most hopes to see.


    Xun you can''t wait to beat Chu and win, but he is very rational.


    After listening to Zhang Liao''s words and thinking for a moment, he said, "general, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang Song are escorted north. Is it Liu Xiu''s plot? It was Liu Xiu who deliberately lured us to fight. "


    Xun you would not despise any general of Chu.


    The lion still needs to fight the rabbit.


    Now, he has to go all out and dare not underestimate anyone in the state of Chu.


    Especially Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren and others are experienced people.


    Zhang Liao thought about it and said firmly, "I don''t think it''s a conspiracy."


    Xun you asked, "why?"


    "I think there are three reasons for this," Zhang explained


    "First, Liu Xiu''s anger is real."


    "Let''s take a closer look at Liu Xiu''s resume. Since he rose in Jingzhou, he has become the emperor of Chu. He has experienced countless wars and small battles, and his legions have fought countless times. "


    "Even if Liu Xiu ran into difficulties, he won in the end."


    "It can be said that Liu Xiu is an invincible man."


    "The generals of the state of Chu were always victorious."


    "But now?"


    "Zhang Ren was defeated. Zhang Ren broke the myth of Chu''s invincibility and lost a whole army."


    "When such news comes out, where does Liu Xiu''s face go?"


    "If you think about it, you can understand Liu Xiu''s anger."


    "The most important thing is that for a man who has never been defeated, a failure will break everything he has and make all his efforts go down in the water. Can he be reconciled?"


    Zhang Liao is very determined, very sure said: "so the general Ren Wei, Liu Xiu angry, Liu Xiu to deal with Zhang Ren and others, are extremely normal, can be judged."


    "Second, Liu Xiu wanted to beat the rest of the generals of Chu."


    "For a long time, the generals of the state of Chu were very proud that they would win in battle and conquer in attack."


    "Now that Zhang Ren has been defeated and suffered heavy losses, Liu Xiu can take this opportunity to beat his subordinates and shake the mountains and tigers."


    "Otherwise, how can he control his subordinates?"


    "Once the rest of the generals are defeated, what will Liu Xiu do?"


    "Even in order to set an example to others, Liu Xiu must punish Zhang Ren."


    "Liu Xiu set a precedent here for Zhang Ren. After other generals were defeated, Liu Xiu would be hard to deal with."


    Zhang Liao talked with great brilliance.


    His eyes sparkled.


    He has carefully calculated the news that Zhang Ren was sent to the north.


    Xun you listened to Zhang Liao''s analysis and nodded slightly.


    There is some truth in Zhang Liao''s analysis.


    Xun you asked, "what''s the third point?"


    Liao zhengmi replied, "this is not Zhang''s third conspiracy."


    Xun you''s face became suddenly beautiful.


    With a slight twitch in the corner of his mouth, he looked up at Zhang Liao and said, "general, you are really..."


    He did not expect that Zhang Liao would say so.


    Zhang Liao said with a light smile: "don''t blame the military strategist. I was going to make a joke."


    Xun you said, "this joke is not funny." He thought and thought, did not think of Zhang Liao''s third reason is what, did not expect Zhang Liao opened a sentence is a plot.


    Zhang Liao looked restrained and said solemnly, "the third reason is that Ben Jiang really thinks it''s Yang Mou, which is an upright Yang Mou."

 Chapter 850

    Xun you saw that Zhang Liao looked solemn and knew that Zhang Liao really had some consideration.


    Immediately, Xun you said, "why did the general say that?"


    Zhang Liao explained: "Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang Song were escorted northward by soldiers. This incident would have been considered true, and there was no fraud."


    "It''s inevitable that Liu Xiu will be angry when Zhang Ren fails."


    "As for Zhao Yun, I don''t think he is easy to be with."


    "Zhao Yun will certainly take advantage of this opportunity to use Zhang Renlai to lay traps and ambush us."


    "Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang Song are so important."


    "These three men are the core of Liu Xiu''s Fifth Army."


    "Taking them will be a great blow to the state of Chu and Liu Xiu."


    "Zhao Yun expected that we would fight for it, so he would lay an ambush waiting for us to go. In fact, I''m really excited, and I''m really going to take the soldiers with me. "


    "Knowing that the other party will ambush with the help of Zhang Renbu, I still intend to go."


    "It''s too profitable to win three."


    Zhang Liao explained the reason of yangmou, and Xun you understood it after listening to it.


    He was surrounded by Zhang Liao.


    Now listen to Zhang Liao a little, Xun you will understand the reason.


    At this moment, Xun you is thinking carefully about the pros and cons of the whole thing.


    As Zhang Liao analyzed, once Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang Song are caught, the benefits will be huge. Even Xun you was envious of such gains.


    Zhao Yun is not stupid. He will surely lay an ambush here.


    After thinking about it for a while, Xun you asked, "General Zhang, do you have a clear idea?"


    Zhang Liao said: "naturally, we have considered it clearly."


    But Zhang Liao was staring at Xun you. He recognized the worry in Xun you''s words, laughed and explained: "military strategist, we made a plan to attack Zhang Ren, and then defeated Zhang Ren."


    "If we defeat Zhang Ren, even if Zhao Yun comes, we can still pursue while we win."


    "However, we have to wait and see what happens."


    "Why do you wait for the Chu army to show its flaws. Now the other party has finally revealed a fatal flaw, but you are hesitant. "


    "It''s not your style."


    "It''s an opportunity. It won''t come again."


    "This opportunity is once in a blue moon for us. If we miss it, there will be no more."


    There is a bright light in Zhang Liao''s eyes.


    He saw it as an opportunity.


    Once missed, it''s really a pity.


    Even though Zhang Liao clearly knows that Zhao Yun will ambush with Zhang Ren and set a trap with Zhang Ren, Zhang Liao still has to do it.


    Because Zhang Liao can''t miss the opportunity.


    Xun you took a deep breath.


    He gave a sudden shock.


    After careful consideration, there was a layer of white sweat on the back.


    He suddenly found himself too cautious.


    It''s not his style.


    On the battlefield, it is very important to make decisions on the spot, so we should not be indecisive.


    The general said, "you should not lose your mind. This time, with the help of Zhang Ren and others, we hit Chu again. "


    "But the plan to go to war has to be considered in the long run."


    "In the state of Chu, some soldiers escorted Zhang Ren and others northward, and Zhao Yun must have made arrangements."


    "Now, we have to make a complete plan."


    "Only when we have a clear overall consideration can we completely grasp the situation and not be passive."


    Xun you, with a smile on his face, regained his confidence.


    When something happens, he can''t be indecisive, but think about the solution.


    It is the right way to win Zhang Ren in one go.


    Seeing that Xun you had recovered, Zhang Liao was also relieved and said, "military strategist, Zhao Yun''s motive has been analyzed clearly. There is nothing more to say. Next, we have to determine how Zhao Yun will target us. I didn''t think it through. "


    Now, Zhang Liao talked about his consideration.


    The whole situation was presented to Xun you under the influence of Zhang Liao.


    Of course, this is Zhang Liao''s view.


    After hearing this, Xun you thought about Zhang Liao''s analysis.


    Zhang Liao had Zhang Liao''s ideas, while Xun you, as a top counselor, had his own considerations.


    The battle between the two armies is not only a battle between the soldiers, but also a game of divination.


    Who can count one more step can hold each other down.


    Therefore, Xun you did not dare to be careless.


    Xun you calculated carefully. After a long time, he sighed and said, "General Zhang, your analysis just now has ignored some problems."


    Zhang Liao asked, "what did the general neglect, military adviser?"The two discussed that it is the most important to make up for the missing.


    When Xun you raised the question of omission, Zhang Liao did not feel inappropriate, but was pleased.


    Two people discuss clearly at this time, the battlefield will be much easier.


    A small loophole in the battlefield may be infinitely enlarged.


    In the end, it has a fatal effect.


    Therefore, Zhang Liao expected Xun you to put forward different opinions.


    Xun you took out the map, pointed on it, and said, "general, your eyes are focused on Zhang Ren and Wei Yan, ignoring our own situation. In this war, we should not only pay attention to fighting on the front line, but also consider ourselves. "


    Immediately, Xun you put forward his views.


    His suggestion is based on Zhang Liao''s analysis, and then put forward several opinions.


    After hearing this, Zhang Liao agreed.


    Zhang Liao and Xun you carefully analyzed the situation on the map and made a little improvement plan.


    During the discussion, the plan became more and more full.


    Zhang Liao and Xun you spent a whole day just on this battle plan.


    It''s late at night.


    Zhang Liao and Xun you, sitting in the camp, both looked tired.


    "Hoo!"


    Zhang Liaochang sighed and said with a smile, "the plan has finally been decided. It''s not easy to change the draft."


    Xun you rubbed his sour face, and then rubbed some swollen temples. A smile appeared on his face and said, "it''s really not easy. This time, it''s a clear discussion."


    Zhang Liao said, "come on!"


    A soldier came in and saluted.


    Zhang Liao said: "prepare two drinks and dishes, and then bring in a pot of wine."


    "Here it is


    The soldiers backed down.


    Zhang Liao''s big sleeve brushed, said: "busy to now, even after dinner, the stomach is also a little hungry. Sergeant, you and I drink twice as much, and then eat something to pad our stomach, or we won''t be able to sleep at night.


    Xun you said with a smile: "yes!"


    After a while, the soldier came in with a pot of wine and two dishes.


    Zhang Liao and Xun you sat opposite each other.


    Zhang Liao filled Xun you with wine and said with a smile, "military strategist, for the victory of this war, please."


    "Please


    Xun you responded with a smile and a toast.


    Xun you also looked forward to this battle.


    After planning for such a long time and painstaking efforts, Xun you believed that the war would be won.


    They''ve already had enough advantage.


    Zhang Liao drank the wine and said with emotion: "Liu Xiu is an invincible man who has won many battles. But Zhang Ren was defeated. This was the beginning of Chu''s defeat. Liu Xiu made a god stone and became emperor. Hum, it''s just cheating the people. When we capture Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang song, let''s see what Liu Xiu can say. "


    Xun you raised his glass to drink and said with a smile, "I''m looking forward to that day."


    They were talking and drinking.


    After a pot of wine, the dishes are almost finished.


    They didn''t drink much and were sober, but they didn''t drink any more and took a rest.


    There''s something else to do tomorrow. Both of them have to be busy for the next thing.


    After washing, Zhang Liao lay on the bed.


    After a busy day, Zhang Liao was very tired. However, Zhang Liao, who was supposed to be asleep, somehow tossed and turned.


    He lay on his bed, his mind full of Zhang Ren''s business.


    His thoughts flew wildly, thinking about what might happen when he captured Zhang Ren, what happened after Zhang Ren, and even the future of Wei''s domination


    All in all, he was active and cranky.


    Zhang Liao was in a daze. He didn''t know when he fell asleep.


    The next day, early in the morning.


    Although Zhang Liao went to bed late, he still got up early.


    After breakfast, Zhang Liao and Xun you met to discuss the promotion. He called the generals together and ordered the next arrangements one by one.


    After the order was arranged, Zhang Liao asked everyone to perform their duties and deal with the affairs in hand.


    At this time, Zhang Liao also acted in person.

 Chapter 851

    On the official road.


    An elite team is on its way.


    This team is the escort of Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang song.


    Starting from Wan County, the team headed north.


    Along the way, I didn''t encounter any obstacles.


    Towards noon, the team stopped to have a rest.


    In order to be realistic, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang Song sat in the prison car without getting off.


    Fortunately, it''s spring and it''s warm.


    Sitting in the prison car, I don''t feel cold either. On the contrary, it''s sunny and warm.


    The general responsible for escorting Zhang Ren and others to the north is Liang Chen, a general under Zhao Yun. As the general who escorts Zhang Ren and others, he knows that this time he will be ambushed.


    Therefore, Liang Chen was extremely cautious along the way.


    While the team was on its way, he sent sentries to find out.


    Liang Chen came to Zhang Ren''s carriage and saluted: "General Zhang, according to the terrain on the map, if you go ten miles further, you will find heimu mountain."


    "Heimu mountain is a continuous mountain range."


    "The terrain of this mountain range is not peculiar, but it is an important road."


    "The narrow entrance of the black mountain is the only one. As long as we send a team of people and horses to guard the entrance of heimu mountain, we can guard this important road. "


    "We didn''t encounter ambush all the way."


    "If you say where is the most likely ambush point, heimu mountain is."


    "Once the soldiers of Wei state hide in the forest of heimu mountain, they can guard the main road and attack us again."


    "As long as we cross heimu mountain, we will bypass Yingchuan county."


    "At that time, the state of Wei had no chance to do it. Therefore, the general thinks that heimu mountain will be the place of fighting. "


    Liang Chen''s eyes twinkled with light.


    Liang Chen made full preparations for the battle.


    His heart is full of expectations.


    After hearing this, Zhang Ren nodded slightly and said, "now that you have a judgment, do it boldly. I will believe you. The battle in heimu mountain is entirely up to you. "


    "Here it is


    Liang Chen should go down and leave excitedly.


    He called for the soldiers and told them everything in detail before they went to inform him.


    After lunch, they had a rest for another half an hour, and then they set out to go on.


    When we go to heimu mountain, the team is getting closer and closer to it.


    In this area of heimu mountain, there are towering trees and dense grass. Now it''s spring, and the black wood mountain is lush and luxuriant, in the forest on the side of the entrance of the black wood mountain.


    One by one, soldiers were hiding in it.


    These soldiers are the soldiers of Wei state.


    The leader was Wang Jiong, a general under Zhang Liao.


    Wang Jiong''s purpose is to arrest Zhang Ren and others.


    As long as Zhang Ren and others are outstanding, Wang Jiong''s mission is a success.


    "Rustle! "


    the sound of rapid footsteps sounded in the forest.


    A sentry came quickly, saluted and said: "general, just received the news, Zhang Ren and others are less than six miles away from here."


    Wang Jiong spirit, asked: "are you sure the people in the prison car, is Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang song?"


    This trip to rob the prison car, only win, not lose.


    Before he left, Zhang Liao told Wang Jiong that there might be ambush, and told Wang Jiong to be careful.


    therefore, Wang Jiong was very concerned about the authenticity of Zhang Ren and others.


    In case Zhang Ren and others are switched in the middle of the journey, and there is another person in the prison car, his efforts will be in vain.


    The sentinel looked determined and replied, "don''t worry, general. All the way, our spies are staring at us. Zhang Ren, Zhang Song and Wei Yan are all in the prison car, making sure they are not switched."


    "Good!"


    Wang Jiong nodded and waved the sentry down.


    As long as Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang Song are still there, he will have a chance to capture Zhang Ren.


    It''s a huge credit.


    Wang Jiong is willing to do such a thing.


    Wang Jiong was in the woods, waiting slowly.


    Little by little the passage of time, nearly an hour of time, in a hurry.


    At this time, a soldier quickly came, excited said: "general, come, come, Zhang Ren and others in the prison car."


    "Ready!"


    Wang Jiong stood up excitedly and gave an order.


    He waited in heimu mountain and finally arrived.


    Now, Zhang Ren has finally come.


    Wang Jiong and his soldiers quietly went to the edge of the woods to hide, and then looked at the official road with wide eyes.


    On the official road, there is a group of soldiers at the front.


    Behind the soldiers, followed by three prison cars.


    Behind the three prison cars, there is a team of soldiers to protect.Wang Jiong carefully estimated that there were more than 100 soldiers escorting Zhang Ren and others.


    There are nearly a thousand soldiers under his command.


    The strength of his command is enough to defeat each other.


    Wang Jiong knew that Chu soldiers would come to meet him, but there was a time difference. As long as he was the first to win Zhang Ren''s three men before the soldiers of Chu arrived, he would win.


    As for the rest, Wang Jiong is not in consideration.


    A little closer.


    When Wang Jiong saw Chu soldiers escorting Zhang Ren and others into the entrance of heimu mountain, he ordered: "kill


    With a command, Wang Jiong was killed by a taxi.


    Wang Jiong could have shot for a while with his bow and arrow. But if you shoot with a bow and arrow, you will scare the snake and let Zhang Ren and others escape.


    Therefore, Wang Jiong leads people to kill directly.


    A thousand soldiers were killed, quickly dispersed and surrounded the Chu soldiers.


    Then, ferocious rush up.


    "Kill


    The cry of killing is heard all the time.


    Wang Jiong''s eyes were sharp and bright. He ran to Zhang Ren and Wei Yan''s carriage.


    This scene excited Liang Chen.


    When the enemy comes, Liang Chen is not surprised but happy. This is his chance to perform meritorious service.


    Liang Chen ordered: "pendulum array, circular array."


    One hundred soldiers were ordered to form a circular array around the prison wagon.


    It''s a defensive formation. It''s used to delay time.


    On the prison car, Zhang Ren and Wei Yan saw the ambush of the state of Wei coming, and they did not hesitate. They took out the steel knife that had been put in the prison car long ago, split the prison car with one knife, and came out of the prison car.


    Then Zhang Song got out of the prison car.


    The three stood inside, protected by the soldiers.


    Liang Chen commands the soldiers to resist, while Wang Jiong takes the soldiers to kill them.


    Wang Jiong looked at the soldiers of the state of Chu who formed the round array, sneered, and his face showed disdain. He has a thousand elite soldiers under his command. It''s fantastic that he wants to resist his attack with only one round array.


    "Kill


    Wang Jiong carried a steel knife and charged with the soldiers.


    One thousand soldiers charged and attacked one hundred Chu soldiers, which caused great pressure on Chu soldiers.


    Even though the 100 soldiers under Liang Chen''s command were all elite, the number gap between the 100 soldiers and the 1000 soldiers of Wei state was too big.


    Moreover, the soldiers of Wei under Wang Jiong were all elite.


    Liang Chen''s soldiers soon fell into a weak position.


    Wang Jiong saw that the victory was in sight, and roared: "sons, kill all the soldiers of Chu, take Zhang Ren and Wei Yan alive. It is today that we have made great achievements. "


    The soldiers of the state of Wei, hearing the words, made a crazy continuous sprint.


    Wei Yan looked in his eyes, with a touch of worry in his eyes, and asked: "Liang Chen, where are your reinforcements?"


    Liang Chen said: "general, hold on for a quarter of an hour, reinforcements will arrive."


    Wei Yan looked around and hummed.


    The soldiers of Chu state were surrounded by the soldiers of Wei state.


    Once there is no morale, the situation will collapse.


    Under such circumstances, a quarter of an hour is not a short time.


    Wei Yan looked in his eyes. He thought about it and made a decision. Wei Yan clenched the steel knife and said in a deep voice: "the more defense you can''t defend, the faster you die. Fight directly with the soldiers of the state of Wei, and give them a way of life and morale. "


    "Liang Chen, stay close to the general and kill with me."


    Wei Yan was holding a steel knife and his eyes were murderous.


    "Sons, we are soldiers of Chu state. We are invincible. We can only move forward and never retreat."


    "Kill


    "Kill me!"


    Wei Yan roared and went out with a knife.


    Wei Yan changed his tactics.


    Originally, it was mainly a defensive formation arranged by Liang Chen. After Wei Yan took the initiative to attack, he attacked with the soldiers of the state of Wei.


    Seeing this, Chu soldiers gave up defense and turned to attack.


    This is true of all Chu soldiers.


    Head to head with Chu.

 Chapter 852

    As a veteran under Liu Xiu, Wei Yan has been on the battlefield for a long time. He looked around and saw that the soldiers of the state of Wei were fierce, so he wanted to capture the king.


    At this time, the only way to achieve the effect is to kill the enemy general first.


    Wei Yan looked at the generals of the soldiers and aimed at them.


    A moment later, Wei Yan found a general of the state of Wei.


    He rushed up with a knife. The knife was bright. In an instant, he killed the enemy general.


    Then Wei Yan cut three generals.


    Although the state of Wei was still strong, the morale of the Chu soldiers rose after Wei Yanyi''s attack.


    The soldiers of the state of Wei were defeated.


    This is the role of the general.


    Wei Yan killed four generals in succession, which not only promoted the morale of the Chu soldiers, but also suppressed the morale of the Wei soldiers. Even though the soldiers of the state of Wei still have the advantage, it can at least slow down the defeat time of the soldiers of the state of Chu.


    Wang Jiong is fighting, too.


    When fighting, Wang Jiong saw Wei Yanlian cut several people.


    Seeing this, Wang Jiong was furious.


    However, Wang Jiong has no way to stop Wei Yan, because he was dragged by Zhang Ren.


    Wang Jiong wanted to capture Zhang Ren alive, but Zhang Ren''s martial arts skills forced him to fight, which made him unable to fight back. Especially Zhang Ren just started to fight with him with a knife, but after a while, Zhang Ren didn''t know where to take a long gun.


    With a shot in hand, Zhang Ren''s momentum changed instantly.


    If a gun is shot like a dragon, its edge will be exposed.


    One shot after another, Wang Jiong was exhausted.


    "A hundred birds to the Phoenix, kill!"


    Zhang Ren drank loudly.


    With a fierce look in his eyes, he took a big gun straight to the middle line and ran to Wang Jiong''s heart.


    Wang Jiong will be disabled if he is stabbed.


    Wang Jiong was so scared that he slashed with a knife.


    The blade fell.


    "Dang!"


    The blade hit the head of the gun and sparkled.


    The head of the gun deflected, but it was still indomitable.


    "Yes


    Zhang Ren drinks low.


    He clung to the barrel of the gun and continued to thrust forward.


    "Puchi!"


    The sharp spearhead pierced Wang Jiong''s shoulder.


    This shot failed to pierce Wang Jiong''s heart, but stabbed him solidly into his shoulder.


    "Ah


    Wang Jiong screamed bitterly, blood splashed and gurgled on his shoulder.


    Wang Jiong''s situation is even worse.


    Fight with Zhang Ren again, he will die in Zhang Ren''s hands.


    Wang Jiong knew that he was the backbone of this army. If he had any weaknesses, this battle would be meaningless and his army would be defeated.


    Wang Jiong made a quick decision, retreated, hid among the soldiers and stopped fighting in person.


    Zhang Ren is powerful, but he is also a man.


    Zhang Ren can block ten soldiers, but can he block fifty? Can you stop a hundred people?


    This is Wang Jiong''s confidence.


    He wanted to capture Zhang Ren by himself before, but after he fought with Zhang Ren, he found that there was a big difference in strength between the two sides. Therefore, he no longer stepped forward, but directed the soldiers to rush up.


    He wants to kill Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and others with the sea of people tactics.


    Just give him more time and he will win.


    Zhang Ren and Wei Yan fight desperately, Liang Chen also takes the soldiers to fight.


    The soldiers of the state of Chu are very powerful.


    However, the number of Chu soldiers was small after all.


    Even if the soldiers of the state of Wei lost more and suffered more. However, in the case of too large a gap in the number of people, the loss of fighting for the number of people, or Chu soldiers lost more.


    The fighting is going on, time goes by.


    Zhang Ren and Wei Yan had fewer and fewer soldiers around them.


    Eighty!


    Sixty!


    Thirty!


    Around heimu mountain, a body was left.


    The blood has already dyed the ground red.


    The corpses on the ground were from Chu soldiers and Wei soldiers.


    Zhang Ren and Wei Yan gnash their teeth to resist. They are still fighting, but they don''t retreat.


    Because Liang Chen arranged reinforcements.


    Wang Jiong''s shoulder injury has been simply wrapped up, he stood among the soldiers, looking at his own people have lost hundreds, his eyes also showed a shock look.


    Zhang Ren and Wei Yan are really terrible.


    Only a hundred people have resisted so far.


    At the same time, Wang Jiong''s eyes also showed a trace of eagerness. Fight to now, have not been able to win Zhang Ren and others. Once Chu''s reinforcements arrived, he would not be able to capture Zhang Ren and Wei Yan.


    "Kill! Take Zhang Ren and Wei Yan. "


    Wang Jiong roared, constantly urging.The soldiers of the state of Wei rushed and killed the soldiers of the state of Chu.


    Zhang Ren and Wei Yan fight with only a few soldiers left, and they are still resisting.


    However, reinforcements have not yet arrived.


    Wei Yan''s vision turns and glances at Liang Chen. Look around, but did not see the shadow of Liang Chen.


    See this, Wei Yan heart clapping.


    Is Liang Chen dead?


    In the fight, Liang Chen is likely to be killed, after all, is chaos.


    Wei Yan see this situation, heart scold Liang Chen useless.


    Now, however, it has to be resisted.


    Wei Yan looked at Zhang Ren and roared, "General Zhang, what should I do? Liang Chen didn''t see it. The situation is unfavourable. Shall we retreat into the forest of heimu mountain for the time being? "


    "General Wei, I''m here."


    Suddenly, Liang Chen''s voice spreads out.


    He was covered with blood, and he didn''t know whether it was his own or the enemy''s.


    He came out abruptly with a knife in his hand.


    Zhang Ren looked at Liang Chen and asked, "Liang Chen, where are the reinforcements?"


    Liang Chen estimated the time, he replied loudly: "General Zhang, reinforcements will arrive soon."


    "Da! Dada


    The sound of the horse''s hooves came from far and near on the official road.


    On the official road, a cavalry poured out.


    The cavalry charged quickly and went straight to Wang Jiong''s rear.


    Wang Jiong saw this scene, his heart sank completely. Knowing that he had no chance, he ordered: "withdraw!"


    Zhang Ren''s reinforcements arrived and he failed.


    At this time, he had to retreat. Wang Jiong endured the pain and took the soldiers to retreat to the mountains on both sides.


    It''s not easy to chase in the mountains.


    What''s more, it''s cavalry, and it''s impossible to enter the mountains.


    Just as Wang Jiong and his soldiers retreated to the mountain forests on both sides, the sound of clattering rang out. Suddenly, groups of ambushes emerged in the mountain forests on both sides.


    These ambushes are on both sides of the mountain forest.


    Their appearance cut off Wang Jiong''s retreat.


    In a short time, all the soldiers led by Wang Jiong were killed.


    Wang Jiong had several knives in his body, and he fell into a pool of blood.


    One thousand soldiers of the state of Wei, all killed.


    The general of the rescue cavalry came to Zhang Ren''s side, turned over and dismounted, and said: "General Zhang, because he wanted to arrange ambush in the forest and cut off the retreat of the Wei soldiers, he was late. Please forgive me."


    Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "it''s just the right time. Now, one-time solution to the Wei ambush, but also cut off their news. This is good for our next action. "


    Wei Yan snorted with dissatisfaction.


    If it''s a quarter of an hour later, or half an hour later, the result will be different.


    Liang Chen was relieved to see the arrival of reinforcements.


    Liang Chen looked at Zhang Ren and asked, "General Zhang, the Wei soldiers who ambushed us in heimu mountain have been led out and killed. next. What shall we do? "


    After solving the ambush, it''s time to prepare for the next step.


    Zhang Ren''s eyes twinkled, and said, "turn around and head for zhangliao camp in Yingchuan county."


    "Here it is


    Liang Chen has to order, turn round to arrange.


    There were only 1000 cavalry in this group. Zhang Ren and Wei Yan led 1000 cavalry to turn around and walk in the direction of Yingchuan for a day. Then, on the way to meet Zhao Yunzao already arranged army.


    This army has a total of 30000 people.


    This is Zhao Yun''s early arrangement for Zhang Ren, let Zhang Ren with the army directly to Zhang Liao''s camp.


    Zhang Liao is in action, so is Zhang Ren.

 Chapter 853

    Wan county.


    Zhao Yun is stationed here.


    Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang Song planned to deal with Zhang Liao and Xun you. Zhao Yun did not need to fight at the front line. His task is to stay in the rear.


    However, Zhao Yun''s task is not simple.


    At least, make sure the rear is secure.


    Therefore, during this period of time, Zhao Yun has been deploying troops and adjusting defense.


    Inside the city, on the tower.


    In the room, Zhao Yun is dealing with military affairs.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    The sound of rapid footsteps came in from outside the room.


    A soldier entered the room, gave a salute and reported: "general, I just received a message from a flying pigeon. Zhang Ren and Wei Yan, two generals, have joined our soldiers and are going to the Wei camp in Yingchuan county to kill them. "


    With these words, the soldier handed over the battle report he had just received.


    Zhao Yun took it over and looked at it carefully.


    "Good! Good job


    Zhao Yun has a bright smile on his face.


    Zhang Ren''s first victory is to kill all the Wei soldiers who went to rob and kill.


    Zhang Ren and Wei Yantong, together with Zhang Song''s advice, have no worries about the war. Moreover, Zhang Ren suffered losses in the hands of Zhang Liao and Xun you, so he would be more cautious.


    In addition, Zhao Yun also made careful arrangements.


    This battle will be won!


    No matter what tactics Zhang Liao has, Zhao Yun is sure to win.


    Zhao Yun put down the war report and asked, "is there any news about Zhang Liao recently?"


    The soldier shook his head and said, "not yet!"


    "I see. Go down."


    Zhao Yun waved.


    Soldiers respectfully retreat, Zhao Yun sitting in the room thinking about the next arrangement. In Zhao Yun''s opinion, since Zhang Liao sent people to rob Wei Yan and others, he should not be so calm and would attack Wan county.


    Of course, even if Zhang Liao did not come, Zhao Yun did not lose much.


    Zhao Yun stood up and went out of the room to inspect the defense and check the drill of the soldiers in the barracks.


    There was no war at the moment, but Zhao Yun kept on training his soldiers.


    We don''t practice in peacetime, but we don''t have time to practice in wartime.


    When Zhao Yunzheng was on patrol, a soldier came quickly and reported: "general, the spies from the front line came back and said that they had detected Zhang Liao''s whereabouts."


    "Here we are at last!"


    Zhao Yun put down his heart completely.


    If Zhang Liao leads the army to attack, Zhao Yun''s plan will be easier to complete.


    Zhao Yun hurried back to the room, looking at the spies, inquired: "Zhang Liao led the troops to kill, how many troops?"


    The Scout replied, "report back to the general, Zhang Liao''s troops are about 30000."


    "Thirty thousand!"


    Zhao Yun''s eyes narrowed.


    Thirty thousand people, not many, not many.


    Zhao Yun thought for a while, continued: "Zhang Liao distance Wan County, how long distance?"


    The soldier said, "it''s about a day''s journey."


    After listening, Zhao Yun thought about the next arrangement.


    One day''s journey, which must be used.


    A moment later, Zhao Yun ordered: "summon the soldiers to meet Zhang Liao."


    "Here it is


    The soldiers went to summon at once.


    Zhao Yun arranged all kinds of things, so he strode out of the room with his armor, helmet top and sword hanging on his waist.


    "Dong! Dong! Dong


    The drum sounds like thunder, resounding on the tower of Wan county.


    Zhao Yun''s soldiers, gather quickly.


    Zhao Yun got down from the castle. He rode his horse to the front of the army. He took a deep breath and said in a loud voice: "I just got the news. Zhang Liao is leading the army to attack. When Zhang Liao comes, it''s time for us to make contributions. Are you willing to kill the enemy with us? "


    "Yes!"


    Soldiers in the front row, shouting.


    After a while, the voice became more and more neat and went up to the sky.


    "Yes!"


    "Yes!"


    Countless soldiers, shouting.


    "Kill the enemy!"


    Zhao Yun draws his sword out of the scabbard and shouts a great victory.


    The soldiers then changed their language and yelled "kill the enemy.".


    A surge of morale emanated from the soldiers.


    Today, Zhao Yun''s army has a chance to compete with the Wei army.


    Before that, wenpin and Zhang Ren were fighting.


    Or maybe Huang Zhong and Tai Shici are fighting.


    Zhao Yun''s troops are stationed in the rear.


    This battle gave Zhao Yun''s soldiers a chance.


    Zhao Yun looked at the shouting soldiers and ordered, "let''s go!"


    At the command, the soldiers rushed out like wolves and tigers, leaving in a mighty way.


    Zhao Yun followed the army.After Zhao Yun led his troops to leave, the city buildings in Wan county were closed directly.


    Before leaving, Zhao Yun gave a death order to the people stationed in Wan county. Unless he rushed back in person, he would never open the city gate. No one can come, except himself.


    Zhao Yun did so for fear that Wan county would be stolen.


    As long as Wan county remains stable, Zhao Yun will not worry about the rear.


    The army moved forward and made a rapid progress.


    In a short time, Zhang Liao''s spies heard the news of Zhao Yun''s battle.


    Zhang Liao came with 30000 soldiers.


    Along the way, Zhang Liao is arranging spies to inquire for information to ensure that the information is not blocked.


    Until noon.


    The army stopped to rest and the soldiers began to have lunch.


    While the army was resting, the spies came back.


    The Scout came to Zhang Liao and reported: "general, Zhao Yun has sent troops. It is estimated that there are about 30000 soldiers under Zhao Yun''s command. They are coming to meet us. "


    Zhang Liao stroked his beard and began to laugh.


    This time he killed Wan County, that is to lead Zhao Yun to fight.


    It''s just right now.


    Zhao Yun left Wan County before his plan could be implemented.


    Zhang Liao thought for a while and asked, "Zhao Yun, how long is the distance from us now?"


    The Scout replied, "there''s about half a day left."


    Zhang Liao waved the spies back, called for the soldiers, and ordered: "summon, the army will stay in place, no more advance."


    "Here it is


    The soldiers went down to inform.


    Soon, the news spread completely.


    The soldiers of the state of Wei were relieved when they were ordered.


    It''s been a long journey these days. I''m very tired all the way.


    Now stop to camp, you can really catch your breath and have a good rest.


    Time goes by.


    In the afternoon, the sun sets.


    In the evening, Zhao Yun came with a large army.


    Zhao Yun led 30000 elite soldiers to Zhang Liao''s barracks. Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Liao''s camp, and under the protection of the soldiers, he came 60 steps away from the camp of the state of Wei.


    Zhao Yun raised his head and yelled, "where is Zhang Liao?"


    "Ben will be here!"


    Zhang Liao rode out.


    Zhang Liao''s side, there are pro with protection.


    Zhang Liao stopped twenty steps away from Zhao Yun. He looked calm and said, "General Zhao is coming with a large army. Is he going to avenge Zhang Ren and Wei Yan?"


    Zhao Yun said: "the general is really smart. He came here to avenge Zhang Ren and Wei Yan. This battle will defeat you. "


    "Everyone can talk big, but it''s easier said than done," Zhang said. It is not known who will win


    Zhao Yun tut tut two voice way: "Zhang general is really self-confident."


    Zhang Liao said: "whether you are confident or not, you only know after fighting."


    "As you wish."


    Zhao Yun nodded.


    He said no more, turned his horse back to the front of the army, and Zhang Liao also returned to the barracks.


    Zhao Yun ordered: "kill!"


    In an instant, his Chu soldiers charged and killed Zhang Liao''s camp.


    The two armies began to fight.


    The soldiers of Chu state are extremely fierce. Under the guidance of Zhao Yun, they are not afraid of death.


    The soldiers under Zhang Liao''s command also fought to the death.


    Liang''s fighting was half a weight, and there was no difference between them.


    The battle was fought late into the night.


    A torch was lit to disperse the darkness.


    The fighting continues.


    Zhao Yun saw that he could not attack for a long time, especially when it was completely dark and it was already late at night, so he stopped fighting and ordered to withdraw.


    The army retreated six miles and camped.

 Chapter 854

    After Zhao Yun led his troops to camp, the army took a rest and began to count the losses.


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    The general stood at the bottom, reporting the news in detail.


    At night, Zhao Yun''s army lost nearly 2000 soldiers.


    Such a loss is expected by Zhao Yun.


    After all, he chose to fight head-on and attack Zhang Liao.


    After listening to the reward, Zhao Yun looked at the generals under his command and said, "in the next time, don''t send any troops."


    "Here it is


    The general got the order and didn''t ask much. He turned around and arranged.


    Zhao Yun out of the tent, patrol a circle of camp defense, only to return to the tent rest.


    The next morning.


    Zhao Yun got up early to wash, had breakfast, and practiced soldiers in the barracks. Instead of sending troops, he chose to confront Zhang Liao.


    Zhang Liao, too, confronted Zhao Yun and did not send troops.


    Both sides seem to be waiting and preparing.


    When the two sides confronted, Xinye County in Nanyang County.


    Outside the city, on the official road.


    An army drove slowly towards the county.


    Most of the soldiers in this army are listless, and many of them are wrapped with gauze on their heads, bodies, arms and legs. At first sight, they are wounded soldiers on the battlefield.


    There are a large number of wounded soldiers, about 3000.


    In addition to the more than 3000 wounded soldiers, there are soldiers in armor and neat clothes.


    There are about seven or eight hundred soldiers in this group.


    These soldiers escorted the wounded to Xinye city.


    Today''s Xinye City, because of the tense situation in Nanyang County, and Zhao Yun''s order, the gate is closed.


    On the tower, the soldiers were garrisoned.


    The general stationed in Xinye was named he yuan, a general under Zhao Yun.


    Xinye as a north-south hub, but also Xiangyang back door.


    The importance of this position is self-evident.


    Therefore, Zhao Yun ordered He Yun to command 3000 soldiers to stay in Xinye city to ensure the safety of Xinye. He yuan stood on the tower, his eyes narrowed when he saw the defeated general coming on the official road.


    In the eyes, there is a twinkling light.


    Xinye city is located in the south of Wan county and the back of Xiangyang. Although it is a strategic area, it is not the front line city.


    Suddenly, a team of wounded soldiers appeared. He Yuan was very alert in his heart.


    "Summon, guard."


    He yuan gave the order directly.


    All the soldiers under his command are on the alert.


    At the same time, the remnant soldiers outside the city are getting closer and closer.


    Shortly after, he arrived outside the city.


    "Stop who''s coming, who''s coming?"


    He yuan stood on the tower and stopped the soldiers.


    As soon as he spoke, the army outside the castle stopped.


    One of the leading generals came forward. He looked up to the city floor and said in a loud voice, "general, I''m Qiao Chao. I''m a junior general under General Zhao."


    "Because of the fierce fighting in the front line, countless soldiers were seriously injured, which is difficult to diagnose and treat"


    "therefore, General Zhao specially arranged to escort the wounded soldiers to the rear to rest."


    "At the back of the humble post, there will be groups of wounded soldiers coming."


    Qiao Chao said: "please open the gate and let me wait to enter the city."


    He yuan was silent and asked, "do you have a warrant from General Zhao?"


    Qiao Chao said, "yes!"


    Then Qiao Chao took out a letter from his sleeve.


    When he yuan saw the letter, he raised his mouth slightly and said, "put the letter in the basket."


    "Here it is


    Joe''s nest is in order.


    I saw the city upstairs put down the basket, and then he yuan came forward, put the letter carefully in the basket, and then wait quietly.


    After a short time, he yuan pulled the basket up.


    He yuan opened the envelope and examined it carefully.


    As a general under Zhao Yun, he is familiar with Zhao Yun''s handwriting.


    After reading the letter, he yuan was surprised.


    the letter as like as two peas in Zhao Yun''s writing.


    Qiao Chao is also waiting.


    His heart, also very anxious.


    After a while, he yuan poked out his head and said in a loud voice, "yes, it''s a letter from General Zhao."


    "Hoo!"


    Qiao Chao smell speech, tiny can''t check of relaxed tone.


    He immediately said: "please open the gate and escort the wounded into the city."


    "Just a moment!"


    He yuan answered and ordered: "open the gate!"


    "Creak! Creak


    After the order was given, the suspension bridge was lowered slowly.


    "Bang Dang!"When the suspension bridge was down, the gate of Xinye city was opened.


    Qiao Chao looked in his eyes. A look of fire flashed in his eyes. He waved and said, "go, enter the city!"


    The soldiers escorted the wounded towards the drawbridge.


    Cross the drawbridge and enter the gate.


    It didn''t take long for more than 3000 and nearly 4000 soldiers to enter Xinye city.


    He yuan ordered: "take up the suspension bridge."


    "Wheel! Wheel


    The suspension bridge was pulled up, and the gate of xinyecheng was not closed for the time being.


    He yuan turned around, he came to the direction of the city, looking at the wounded soldiers who entered the city, the corner of his mouth smile more and more brilliant, ordered: "Archer, prepare!"


    With a command, a group of archers emerged from the castle.


    All the archers take bow and arrow, aiming at the wounded.


    There are also archers on the streets and houses in the city.


    More than 3000 soldiers who entered the city were surrounded by groups.


    Qiao Chao''s heart clapped.


    His heart, hanging up.


    Qiao Chaoqiang calmed himself, looked up and asked, "my Lord, what are you doing?"


    as like as two peas at the nest, he sneered, "you people in Wei state are really exhausted. Even the handwriting of general Zhao Yun can be imitated exactly. If it wasn''t for General Zhao, you would have cheated him. "


    Qiao Chao said, "my Lord, you have misunderstood me."


    He Yuandao: "it''s still sophistry up to now. I don''t shed tears when I don''t see the coffin."


    "I will tell you that when General Zhao left Xinye, he gave a death order."


    "During the war with Zhang Liao, the gates of each county were closed and must not be opened."


    He Yuan said in a loud voice: "unless General Zhao defeats Zhang Liao, or General Zhao comes in person, he will never open it. As for the rest who came with letters, they were all disguised by the enemy. "


    Qiao Chao''s face changed greatly after listening.


    I''ve been seen through!


    He''s on the hook.


    Qiao Chao was anxious and ordered: "sons, kill and seize the castle."


    By this time, Joe''s nest is no longer disguised.


    Qiao Chao is a special force sent by Zhang Liao, intending to capture Xinye and control Nanyang County. If Xinye is captured, it will be easy for Zhang Liao to operate in the front line.


    Unexpectedly, Zhao Yunzao made arrangements.


    He yuan looked in his eyes, gave a cold smile, and ordered: "shoot the arrow!"


    "Whew! Whew


    Dense bows and arrows, like raindrops, shot at the soldiers of the state of Wei downstairs.


    Arrow like rain, harvesting the lives of Wei soldiers.


    Qiao Chao wants to capture the tower, so he orders the soldiers to kill them. However, as soon as the soldiers of the state of Wei under his command rushed to the gallop, they met the long spearmen who were killed from the gallop of the city tower.


    The spearmen keep to the road and fight to the death.


    A big gun, like a poisonous snake out of the hole, is so fierce that Qiao Chao''s soldiers can''t move forward.


    Qiao Chao''s face was dignified.


    He decisively turned the direction, ordered: "rush, we enter the city."


    Entering the city, he can threaten the people.


    He yuan saw this behind the scenes, the corners of his mouth rose, and his face was full of sarcasm. When he was in Xinye County, he had already made enough preparations. The soldiers of the state of Wei wanted to rush into the city. It was a fool''s dream.

 Chapter 855

    He yuan stood on the tower, looking at Qiao Chao''s soldiers rushing to the city street, but did not arrange the soldiers to stop him.


    Because it''s all right.


    At this point in the war, he is no longer in command.


    Qiao Chao and his soldiers rushed forward quickly. When he and his soldiers charged, the archers on both sides of the street were still shooting arrows.


    "Whew! Whew


    Dense bows and arrows are still shooting down.


    A bow and arrow, mercilessly harvesting the lives of Qiao Chao''s soldiers.


    This scene makes Qiao Chao''s eyes crack.


    He hates it!


    How could that be?


    Qiao Chao came to Xinye county this time to seize Xinye county.


    Unfortunately, as a hunter, in a flash, he has become a prey, a fish on He Yuan''s chopping board, to be slaughtered by he yuan.


    This kind of feeling, makes Qiao Chao very uncomfortable.


    "Rush, rush in!"


    Qiao Chao roared and ordered his soldiers to charge.


    As long as he enters the city and the residential areas of the people, he has room for bargaining.


    One by one, the soldiers of the state of Wei rushed forward quickly. All of them ran about 20 steps. Suddenly, a strong crossbow appeared on the official road in front of them.


    This group of strong crossbow soldiers, dressed in armor, look cold.


    All armed with strong crossbows, aimed at the soldiers of Wei who were charging.


    "Shoot the arrow!"


    The catapult''s school orders.


    In an instant, a crossbow shot out.


    "Whew! Whew


    The crossbow shoots straight and has stronger lethality.


    In particular, the crossbows used by the soldiers of Chu state were improved, and they were extremely lethal.


    A crossbow can easily shoot through armor and body. The crossbow was aimed at the soldiers of the state of Wei, who rushed to the front without any difficulty.


    A round of crossbows and arrows reaped the lives of a group of soldiers.


    Qiao Chao was even more nervous in his eyes.


    The situation he is facing at the moment is already extremely difficult.


    In the houses on both sides of the street, there are hidden archers shooting.


    There are bowmen in the front of the street and archers in the rear.


    Qiao Chao''s soldiers have fallen into the encirclement of Chu soldiers.


    There are enemies on all sides, blocked on all sides.


    There is no way out now.


    Qiao Chao gritted his teeth. He saw a soldier of the state of Wei shot by a crossbow and arrow. He waved his sword to block the arrow. At the same time, he grabbed the body of the soldier on the ground and used it as a shield to continue to rush forward.


    "Rush, or you''ll die!"


    "There are still 15 steps to go. After we rush out, we can kill the crossbow soldiers and rush into the city."


    "If you don''t want to die, kill me!"


    Joe''s nest roared.


    At this moment, Qiao Chao is still encouraging his soldiers.


    All the soldiers of the state of Wei rushed forward in the rain of arrows.


    This sprint can be described as one step at a time.


    Every step forward, there are countless soldiers fell in the pool of blood.


    "Ah


    All of a sudden, the soldiers of the state of Wei in the front screamed. When he rushed forward quickly, because he couldn''t stop, he fell to the ground straight ahead.


    The rest of the soldiers rushed up and fell because they couldn''t stop.


    Bursts of screams, constantly come.


    Qiao Chao rushed up to see this scene, his heart suddenly cooled down.


    In front of the street, there is a deep pit about one foot long across the street.


    The pit was six feet deep, and at the bottom stood a sharpened stake.


    The location of the pit is a distance from the gate of the city.


    If you don''t observe it closely, you can''t find it at all.


    Now I see the two Zhang long pit, it is like a natural moat, lying in front, blocking the escape road of Qiao Chao and others.


    All the soldiers of the state of Wei were desperate.


    Bows and arrows are still coming, and soldiers are still falling.


    Group after group of soldiers fell to the ground, one by one soldiers screamed and wailed, the situation was bleak.


    The thousands of Wei soldiers who followed Qiao Chao were few left at the moment.


    Countless losses!


    Countless deaths and injuries!


    Under the bow and arrow, countless lives are disappearing.


    One by one, the soldiers cried and looked desperate.


    Qiao Chao knew that he couldn''t escape, and he didn''t fight any more. He yelled, "surrender, we surrender. Don''t shoot any more arrows." While talking, Qiao Chao was still waving his sword.


    After hearing this, the soldiers of the state of Wei nearby also yelled one after another.


    The sound reverberated in the street.


    On the tower, he yuan''s eyes narrowed when he heard Qiao Chao surrender.Do you want to accept surrender?


    He has enough advantage.


    Because Xinye is the strategic location of Nanyang County and the gateway to the north of Xiangyang. Therefore, Zhao Yuncai arranged his Garrison. He got Zhao Yun''s order, so he laid an ambush early and prepared for the attack.


    He yuan has his own ideas to win today.


    He yuan looked at the soldiers of the state of Wei who were killed. After thinking, he said, "stop shooting arrows."


    The credit for catching them alive is much greater.


    He yuan chose to capture alive.


    With He Yuan''s order, the flag swayed on the tower, and the archers on the tower stopped shooting first.


    Then the archers on both sides of the street stopped.


    Finally, the Bowman stops.


    So Rao shot and killed another group of Wei soldiers.


    Although the bow and arrow stopped, all the archers and bowmen did not withdraw. Everyone was on guard.


    As long as the Wei soldiers have any changes, they will shoot arrows immediately.


    He yuan stood on the tower and ordered: "listen to the soldiers of Wei state, put down their weapons and kneel down to surrender."


    Qiao Chao felt humiliated when he heard the words.


    He was also a general in the army of the state of Wei. How did he ever suffer such humiliation?


    But under the eaves, he had to bow his head.


    Now he had to kneel down and surrender.


    "Throw away the weapon!"


    Qiao Chao ordered him to take the lead in throwing away his weapon and kneeling on the ground.


    "Bang Dang! Kuangdang


    The soldiers of the state of Wei threw away their weapons and surrendered.


    For them, it''s better to surrender. After all, they can live.


    He yuan was still standing on the tower and did not go down in person. He ordered a group of soldiers to go down to the castle, collect the weapons of the soldiers of the state of Wei, and then detain all the soldiers of the state of Wei.


    Finally, he yuan sent someone to escort Qiao Chao upstairs.


    He yuan stares at Qiao Chao and inquires, "Zhang Liao sent you to Xinye. After attacking Xinye County, what are your plans next?"


    Qiao Chao did not hide it, but replied: "General Zhang''s order is to let me seize Xinye county and secretly control Zhao Yun''s grain way. Then, further capture Xiangyang. "


    "Naive."


    He yuan couldn''t help sneering.


    He yuan knows Zhao Yun''s caution and his arrangement.


    He Yuan said: "General Zhao took the army north to Wan county. Although people were in Wan County, General Zhao had already made arrangements and gave death orders to officials of Xinye, Chaoyang, Deng county and other counties. They were not allowed to open the city."


    "If you go to cheat City, you will be arrested."


    "Besides Xiangyang City, the city is solid, and there are elite soldiers to guard it."


    "Even if there is no general Zhao''s army stationed in Xiangyang City, and there are no 30000 or 50000 people, don''t try to defeat Xiangyang."


    He yuan tut tut two, a way: "Zhang Liao this time, is planted."


    Qiao Chao snorted, but did not speak.


    This time, Zhang Liao''s plan of raiding the rear of Chu failed.


    He yuan called for people to go down with Qiao Chao and ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield in the city. While cleaning up the battlefield, he yuan wrote another war report and sent it to the front.


    He has to inform Zhao Yun of Qiao Chao''s news so that Zhao Yun can arrange it.

 Chapter 856

    Wan County, the front line.


    Zhang Liao''s barracks.


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    Zhang Liao is dealing with military affairs.


    Now, Zhang Liao is still waiting for the news that Qiao Chao has won Xinye county.


    He led his soldiers to fight Zhao Yun in Wan County, and there was a certain risk in itself. Once Zhang Ren''s soldiers entered Yingchuan and arrived at the Wei army''s camp, it was not easy to transport food and grass out.


    At that time, his soldiers will easily be short of food.


    Therefore, the time of each day is very important to Zhang Liao.


    Qiao Chao''s early success means that he has a decisive battle with Zhao Yun and can defeat Zhao Yun.


    Once Qiao Chao fails to succeed for a long time, Zhang Liao is in danger.


    Of course, Zhang Liao also made a careful safety assessment.


    If Qiao Chao really fails, he can choose to withdraw, but that is the last choice, is a helpless move.


    After dealing with the government affairs, Zhang Liao lay down early to have a rest.


    On the other side, in Zhao Yun''s barracks.


    Zhao Yun is also waiting for news.


    Zhang Liao, as one of the attacking parties, chose to stay in the garrison, obviously delaying time. Zhao Yun saw it, but didn''t point it out, because Zhao Yun is also dragging time.


    Both Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun are scrambling for time.


    Zhao Yun made an inspection tour and returned to the camp.


    Just as he was about to have a rest, a soldier entered the camp and said, "general, he yuan has sent back the latest battle report."


    Zhao Yun said, "bring it here!"


    After receiving the war report, Zhao Yun quickly scanned it.


    When he saw the news that Qiao Chao had been captured alive and none of the soldiers of the state of Wei had escaped, Zhao Yun couldn''t help laughing.


    "Well, what a Heyuan."


    Zhao Yun''s eyes twinkled with light.


    He Yuansheng catches Qiao Chao, and all the soldiers of Wei are destroyed. It''s time to deal with Zhang Liao.


    According to the information recorded in the war report, after the war report was delivered, it was estimated that it would take another five hours for the soldiers escorting Qiao Chao to arrive.


    He yuan seized Qiao Chao and divided it into two steps.


    The first step is to arrange the soldiers to deliver the war report as quickly as possible and send it to Zhao Yun so that Zhao Yun can make preparations early.


    The second step is to arrange the soldiers to escort Qiao Chao and two lieutenants.


    Zhao Yun''s eyes turned, thinking about the adjustment of strategy, muttered: "it''s the first half of the night. According to this time, the soldiers escorting Qiao Chao and others are on their way all night. Tomorrow morning, they can be taken to the barracks."


    With Qiao Chao in hand, Zhao Yun takes the initiative.


    "The war is tomorrow."


    Zhao Yun decided in his heart and said, "go down."


    When the soldiers retreated, Zhao Yun called to the small school in the camp and ordered the small school to arrange a team of soldiers to leave the camp to meet them, so as to avoid accidents for the soldiers escorting Qiao Chao.


    Then Zhao Yun lay down to rest.


    Time goes by.


    It was early morning in a flash.


    Zhao Yun got up early to wash, and then waited for the news in the camp.


    In the morning, when the sun was high, the soldiers escorting Qiao Chao came back.


    Qiao Chao and the other two vice generals of the Wei army entered the camp, and Zhao Yun ordered them to gather soldiers by beating drums.


    "Dong! Dong


    The sound of the mighty war drum suddenly rang.


    After the three links, the soldiers gathered.


    Zhao Yun came to the front of the army and ordered, "let''s go!"


    At the command, the army left the camp.


    It didn''t take long for the army to come to Zhang Liao''s camp.


    Zhao Yun galloped forward and yelled, "where is Zhang Liao?"


    Dressed in armor, Zhang Liao came out of the camp slowly. His eyes fell on Zhao Yun. Holding his head high, he said in a deep voice: "General Zhao has not sent troops for many days. How can he have leisure to attack this general today?"


    Seeing Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao had a bad feeling in his heart.


    To this day, there is no news from Qiao Chao.


    Did Joe''s nest fail?


    Zhang Liao''s heart, there is a trace of speculation.


    Only Zhang Liao''s face, but did not show a trace of expression, is still very calm mouth.


    Zhao Yun laughed and said, "General Zhang, I''m going to fight this time. But before the war, there would have been two pieces of news for you. "


    "Oh, please


    Zhang Liao eyebrows a pick, opening to ask.


    He stares at Zhao Yun to see the clue.


    Zhao Yun galloped his horse to his feet. He raised his voice and said: "the first news that I will tell you is that Zhang Ren and Wei Yan led 30000 troops, and they have already taken your back road to kill the Wei army in Yingchuan county. Now, your back road has been cut off, and food can no longer be transported. "


    Zhao Yun''s voice is very loud.This news immediately came to the ears of the soldiers of the state of Wei.


    Zhang Liao knew the news.


    However, Zhang Liao wants to seize the time and make a time difference with Zhao Yun. As long as he gets the news of Qiao Chao''s victory first, and then announces in front of Zhao Yun and the soldiers of Chu that he has won Xinye, cut off Zhao Yun''s army''s grain route and cut off Zhao Yun''s rear area, Zhao Yun''s army will be in chaos and their morale will fluctuate.


    To Zhang Liao''s surprise, Zhao Yun took the lead and beat him first.


    Zhang Liao looked back at his soldiers.


    At this time, the soldiers were talking and worried.


    Zhang Liao cold face, eyes swept, a moment later, all the voices are prohibited, no one dare to talk.


    One by one silence, not words.


    Zhang Liao had a high prestige in the hearts of the soldiers.


    He silenced the soldiers'' voices.


    Zhang Liao knew that this could not completely stabilize the morale of the army.


    We must refute Zhao Yun in order to stabilize people''s minds.


    With a cold smile, Zhang Liao raised his voice and said: "Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren and Wei Yan led their troops to the army camp of the state of Wei. This move was expected by the general."


    "Ben Jiang and Xun you and Xun''s military advisers have never been separated."


    "Don''t you find that there is no military adviser Xun around the general?"


    "Because the general had already made arrangements, Xun''s division had been laying ambush in the rear camp, arranging troops, waiting for Zhang Ren and Wei Yan to fall into the trap."


    "Last time, I almost killed Zhang Ren and Wei Yan. Because you suddenly appeared, the plan failed."


    "This time, they will die."


    Zhang Liao''s voice echoed in the air.


    After these words came out, the morale of the state of Wei was greatly boosted, and the soldiers of the state of Wei also settled down.


    The restless soldiers are all recovered.


    Wei and Xun believed that all the soldiers were no longer worried.


    Zhao Yun secretly praised Zhang Liao''s resourcefulness.


    Zhang Liao''s response not only disintegrated his verbal offensive, but also boosted the morale of his own soldiers.


    This kind of means is very powerful.


    Unfortunately, Zhao Yun is well prepared.


    If Zhao Yun is not prepared, he may be beaten down by Zhang Liao.


    But Zhao Yun''s means are far more than these.


    Zhao Yun sneered and said, "General Zhang, you can cheat the soldiers of the state of Wei."


    "You left with most of the soldiers. How many soldiers can Xun you have?"


    "Xun you is so powerful that Zhang Ren is stupid?"


    "The last time Zhang Ren failed and fell into ambush, it was because you were calculating but not thinking."


    "This time, Zhang Ren is well prepared, and he will surely win."


    Zhao Yun''s eyes are full of confidence.


    When Zhang Ren and Wei Yan went to attack Xun you, Zhao Yun was full of confidence.


    Because Zhao Yun has made proper and careful arrangements.


    Zhao Yun''s sharp words continued: "Zhang Liao, there will still be three people, let you see. Somebody, bring Joe''s nest up


    Voice down, soldiers escorted Qiao Chao and the other two lieutenants out.


    These three men are the main generals who attack Xinye secretly.


    Zhao Yun pointed to Qiao Chao and asked with a smile, "General Zhang, do you know Qiao Chao?"


    Zhang Liao''s face suddenly changed.


    The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes were dignified.


    Failed!


    He placed his best hope on Qiao Chao and finally failed.


    This means that the plan to attack Zhao Yun has gone down the drain, and he is also in trouble. Rao is Zhang Liao''s mood is calm, but at this moment, he is also flustered in his heart. For a moment, he is a little at a loss.

 Chapter 857

    Zhao Yun has a smile in his mouth, and his big sleeve is full of spirit.


    At this moment, he took the initiative.


    Zhao Yun continued: "Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao, last time, you and Xun you were lucky to attack Wan County successfully. This time, the old trick was repeated, and the people secretly sent to attack Xinye county. "


    "If you take a cut, you will gain wisdom."


    "Do you think that Ben will make the same mistake as Zhang Ren?"


    "Or, you''re stupid."


    "After discussing with Zhang Ren, general Ben has already laid an ambush, waiting for your soldiers to go."


    "Of course, Ben won''t know where you''re going to attack."


    "Xinye? Or Chaoyang County, or Deng County, etc... "


    "The scope is so large that it would have been difficult to identify."


    "So Ben will issue a death order. The city gates will be closed to all counties. All the people who went to ask to open the gate of the city, except Ben, were deceitful. "


    "Sure enough, you are in the trap."


    Zhao Yun was happy and continued: "this time Qiao Chao attacked Xinye County, nearly 3000 people died in the ambush."


    "Zhang Liao, you failed in your plan of surprise attack."


    "Your rear was cut off by Wei Yan and Zhang Ren, and the front lost Qiao Chao."


    "Now you have become a lonely army, without any chance."


    "The food in your army will not last for a few days, and in front of this general, you will not be able to make a strong attack."


    "In this battle, you will lose."


    What Zhao Yun said was introduced into the ears of the soldiers of the state of Wei.


    The soldiers of Wei had calmed down.


    Now, there''s a commotion.


    There was a look of panic on each face.


    Zhao Yun was more and more happy and said, "Zhang Liao, you ambushed Zhang Ren. You are the enemy of Chu."


    "Your Majesty, however, will not mind your faults."


    "On the contrary, your majesty appreciates you."


    "As long as you surrender to the state of Chu, your official position will not be reduced, and you can also lead the army to battle."


    Zhao Yun made a promise directly, and he began to solicit: "what does general Zhang mean? Now you are left with the choice of surrender. You have no other choice


    Zhang Liao''s face was cold and his eyes were solemn.


    The situation is so bad that he has to make a decision.


    Zhang Liao''s eyes turned, and he soon had a countermeasure in his heart, disdaining to say: "Zhao Yun, you laugh too early. This general just lost Qiao Chao''s army. It''s too far to defeat him. I''m going to camp here and see how you break it? "


    Immediately, Zhang Liao withdrew to the barracks.


    At this point, no matter how much Zhang Liao said, it would not help but stick to it.


    When Zhao Yun was in full swing, he could only choose defense, not retreat. Once the troops withdraw, the morale of his soldiers will collapse completely. At that time, Zhao Yun''s cover up will inevitably lead to a downfall.


    Therefore, Zhang Liao chose to stick to it.


    At least until Zhao Yun withdraws temporarily, he can withdraw.


    Only by withdrawing calmly can the morale of the army be guaranteed.


    Zhao Yun looked back at the barracks and is still calm Zhao Yun, showing admiration.


    The other ordinary generals, when they heard the news from Qiao Chao and thought about the situation in the rear, would have been in a state of confusion and would probably have ordered the evacuation directly.


    However, Zhang Liao is different, Zhang Liao is still so calm.


    "If you want me to attack, you will not be satisfied."


    Zhao Yun gave a cold smile.


    Zhang Liao''s intention is to use the opportunity of defense to consume Zhao Yun''s forces.


    Once fighting, Zhao Yun has to attack with all his strength.


    When the army was at war, the situation was chaotic, and Zhang Liao might retreat quietly.


    If Zhao Yun doesn''t attack, Zhang Liao''s intention fails. Zhao Yun''s strategy is very simple. He just needs to drag Zhang Liao and send a team of scouts to kill Zhang Liao''s camp.


    As long as Zhang Liao retreats, he immediately follows up, drags Zhang Liao to death, does not let Zhang Liao get rid of.


    And Zhang Liao did not move, so did he.


    Procrastination is good for Zhao Yun.


    The soldiers under Zhang Liao''s command, however, have a floating heart. The longer they stay, the lower their morale will be.


    In the end, Zhang Liao is bound to fail.


    Zhao Ren retreats into the camp and waits for the attack.


    He waited for a long time, but saw Zhao Yun with soldiers stationed outside, did not launch an attack.


    At this moment, he felt that Zhao Yun was extremely difficult.


    It''s not easy to get rid of Zhao Yun.


    If Zhao Yun attacks and the two sides fight, in chaos, Zhang Liao only needs to arrange an army to defend himself against Zhao Yun''s attack, and then he can get rid of his shell and withdraw with a large army.


    If Zhao Yun does not send troops, the situation will be different.In the absence of war, Zhao Yun will find out if he makes any moves.


    The soldiers of the state of Wei could not withdraw at all.


    Zhang Liao brow deep lock, his eyes, thinking about what to do next.


    If he doesn''t handle it well, he is likely to get into trouble.


    "General, what shall we do?"


    Next to Zhang Liao, a primary school asked. In the eyes of the school, there was also a look of worry.


    Qiao Chao was captured and the road was cut off.


    Zhang Liao''s army has become a lone army.


    Zhang Liao''s face was calm, not a bit flustered. He said with a smile: "if Zhao Yun wants to face off, he will face off with him. Call on all the soldiers to be on alert. The rest of the soldiers do what they should. Those who disturb the morale of the army will be killed! "


    "Here it is


    The general is ordered to make arrangements immediately.


    The two armies confronted each other. Zhao Yun did not attack and Zhang Liao did not retreat.


    Zhao Yun''s army is stationed outside for the time being.


    At night, it was dark.


    Zhang Liao''s plan was to retreat at night, but when it was completely dark, a torch suddenly lit up around the camp. With a torch lit, Zhang Liao''s camp was bright.


    Zhao Yun''s temporary camp is also on fire.


    It was as bright as day around the camp.


    Zhang Liao saw this scene, the corner of his mouth smoked.


    Zhao Yun and his confrontation, Zhang Liao is very difficult, but Zhang Liao is not without a way. His original plan was to retreat quietly after dark.


    Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun''s response was so rapid that it was difficult for him to retreat.


    "Tough!"


    Zhang Liao muttered to himself.


    He stares at Zhao Yun''s camp, and his eyes twinkle.


    Zhao Yun is a strong enemy.


    At the moment, he also felt that there was nothing he could do, so he had to think about other ways.


    Zhao Yun led the soldiers to garrison.


    By a campfire.


    Zhao Yun and his generals are gathering to discuss the matter.


    A general said, "General Zhao, do we have to confront Zhang Liao all the time?"


    Although the generals agreed with the confrontation strategy, they did not enjoy it.


    Instead of confrontation, it is better to attack directly.


    Defeat Zhang Liao and win.


    Zhao Yun smiles. He reaches out his hand and dials the firewood in the bonfire. He is not impatient and says, "there are two reasons why this general confronts Zhang Liao."


    "First, in order to stop Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao did not dare to act rashly."


    "If the enemy does not move, I will not."


    "If Zhang Liao does not move, we will not act rashly."


    "Once Zhang Liao retreats, we will take advantage of the situation and kill him. Zhang Liao''s army is bound to break up."


    "Therefore, Zhang Liao was actually held back by us."


    "But it''s just a strategy to hold Zhang Liao down."


    "It''s impossible to win by confrontation."


    Zhao Yun''s eyes twinkled with sharp light, and continued: "so there is a second reason. In the confrontation, it will delay time and consume the morale of Zhang Liao''s soldiers."


    "The longer the time, the more worried the Wei soldiers were, and the tighter a string in their mind."


    "I don''t know when it will collapse."


    "Generally speaking, this will delay time, will force them to be frightened."


    "Once the war drum rings, we will send troops to attack, and the soldiers of the state of Wei will completely turn into birds and beasts in a panic."


    Zhao Yun said: "we wait, waiting for the opportunity to come."


    The generals were very excited.


    If we want to defeat Zhang Liao, we must take the initiative.


    A school with bright eyes asked, "General Zhao, when is the right time?"


    Zhao Yun clenched his hand into a fist, waved it in the air, and said firmly: "the time of attack is in the second half of the night."


    "In the second half of the night, the soldiers of the state of Wei fell asleep one after another."


    "At that time, we will first use the bow and crossbow to shoot rockets to break through the camp of the state of Wei, and then enter the strong."


    "In the past, the soldiers of the state of Wei, because of their stable morale and Zhang Liao''s tight guard, made it impossible for us to break through. Now the soldiers of the state of Wei are already frightened. "


    "As soon as we attack, we will be able to defeat Zhang Liao in one go."


    Zhao Yun looked forward and said: "the defeat of Zhang Liao is the beginning of our victory. If we win Zhang Liao, we will attack and finally win Xun you. "


    After hearing the speech, people were excited.


    One by one is looking forward to fighting.


    Zhao Yun stabilized the morale of the generals, and said, "go down and have a rest. Keep your spirits up. When you fight in the middle of the night, take out your fighting capacity."


    "Here it is


    When they heard the speech, they held their fists and saluted.One by one, they were full of fighting spirit, and their faces were full of excitement.


    After everyone retreated, Zhao Yun stood up, stretched his muscles and looked at Zhang Liao''s camp.


    It''s time for him to finish his battle with Zhang Liao.

 Chapter 858

    On a moonlit night, the torch crackled.


    In Zhang Liao''s camp, all his soldiers had a rest. But after each soldier fell asleep, his brows wrinkled, and his face was full of sorrow.


    Now, they are in trouble.


    Even though I was sleepy, I was worried.


    Inside the camp.


    The soldiers on the night patrol come and go, very rigorous patrol.


    In the second half of the night, everything around the camp is quiet except the sound of birds and insects.


    Not far from the camp of the state of Wei, in the camp of Zhao Yun.


    Just after the early morning, Zhao Yun turned over and got up, put on his armor and helmet, summoned all the generals, ordered everyone to wake up all the soldiers and let them gather in the barracks.


    The soldiers gathered and the whole army lined up.


    Zhao Yun came to the barracks and ordered, "beat the drum!"


    When the order is given, the battle drums will ring.


    "Dong! Dong! "


    The mighty drums reverberated in the camp.


    This voice was introduced into the military camp of the state of Wei.


    When the soldiers of the state of Wei heard this, they woke up and quickly put on their clothes and ran out of the camp.


    "Kill


    Zhao Yun ordered the soldiers under his command to quickly kill out of the camp.


    The barracks of Chu state and Wei state were not far away, and Zhao Yun''s troops came out of the barracks.


    After a while, he came to the camp outside the military camp of the state of Wei. The bowmen and archers quickly came forward and used the bows and arrows to suppress the enemy, while the infantry quickly charged and approached the Wei barracks.


    When Zhao Yun launched the attack, Zhang Liao had already come out, and his soldiers quickly gathered.


    Zhang Liao was in the camp, commanding the soldiers to resist.


    Looking at the fierce soldiers of Chu and the demoralized soldiers of Wei, Zhang Liao frowned.


    The current situation is very bad.


    "Kill


    There was a lot of shouting and killing, one after another.


    At night, around the camp of the state of Wei, there were soldiers of the state of Chu attacking. Under the cover of crossbows and bows, Chu soldiers entered Wei barracks one after another and approached step by step.


    "Kill, take Zhang Liao alive."


    "Kill, kill!"


    "Take Zhang Liao and defeat the Wei thieves."


    More and more shouts of killing, constantly sounded.


    Chu''s offensive is getting stronger and stronger.


    In contrast, the Wei soldiers under Zhang Liao''s command were defeated by the tactics of attacking Xinye, and the rear area was about to be attacked by Zhang Ren and Wei Yan. Although they fought hard, they lost the momentum of fearing death.


    Today''s soldiers, with a shadow in their hearts, no longer have the spirit of fighting all out.


    Morale and fighting power were affected, so that in the fighting, they gradually fell below and were dominated by the state of Chu.


    If it goes on like this, Wei will be defeated.


    Zhang Liao saw this scene. The generals under Zhang Liao''s command also saw it.


    The faces were worried.


    A general came to Zhang Liao and solemnly said, "general, the state of Chu is fierce, but the morale of our army is low. The situation is extremely unfavorable to us. If we continue to fight, our soldiers will be in rout until dawn at the latest. At that time, the situation will be even worse. "


    Zhang Liao''s eyes narrowed. He held the hilt of his sword tightly and said in a deep voice, "Yang Yuan, do you mean retreat?"


    His name is Yang Yuan, a veteran of Zhang Liao.


    Yang Yuan nodded, solemnly said: "now the situation, there is no other way, can only retreat."


    "But the attack of Chu is fierce. If we retreat all the way and there are no soldiers left, Zhao Yun is bound to go all out and kill our army. By then, it will be a rout. "


    "Therefore, the end will be willing to lead the 3000 elite soldiers after the break, for the withdrawal of Wei soldiers to buy time."


    "With the general''s permission."


    Yang Yuan''s face was full of the expression of death, and his eyes were determined.


    Zhang Liao said, "if you stay, there will be death but no life."


    Yang Yuan''s face was firm, and he said with a voice: "at the age of 16, the last general will follow you in the army. It''s your cloth. He followed the general through the rebellion of Dong Zhuo and the death of marquis LV Wen, and he also followed the general into the state of Wei. "


    "In the heart of the general, the general is like a brother."


    "Without the care of the general, the general would have died on the battlefield."


    "Several times, it was the general who made the last general not die on the battlefield."


    "In the past, the general was defeated by the state of Wu. I wish I was captured."


    "Now that we are in trouble, we will be willing to give up."


    Yang Yuan fell to his knees with a plop, looked up at Zhang Liao, and said, "general, let the last general be cut off."


    "After the end of the general''s oath, he will fight for time for the general to leave."


    "There will be a time lag if the general withdraws first."


    "As long as the general withdraws to the camp first, he can attack the soldiers of Wei state with Xun''s army and defeat Zhang Ren and Wei Yan''s army. If you defeat them and then turn around to attack Zhao Yun, the first battle will be decisive. "Yang Yuan said, "it''s about the outcome of the war. Please accept."


    After hearing this, Zhang Liao felt warm and sad.


    As the chief General of the army, he knew what it meant to be cut off?


    After the break, it means a near death.


    Even ten dead.


    Yang Yuan followed Zhang Liao for many years. He knew Zhang Liao''s character and said: "general, we can''t delay any longer. The longer the delay, the more difficult it is to retreat cleanly. "


    "Well, Ben will allow you to break."


    Zhang Liao raised Yang Yuan, but his eyes were moist.


    Yang Yuan grinned and said with a smile, "general, it''s OK. I won''t die. When you lead the troops to defeat Zhang Ren and Wei Yan, the final general may catch up with you with the soldiers after the break. "


    Zhang Liao patted Yang Yuan''s shoulder heavily and said: "to live, we must live."


    Yangyuan said: "we must live."


    After that, Yang Yuan turned around and gathered up three thousand soldiers belonging to him.


    These three thousand soldiers were trained by Yang Yuan himself, and they were his direct family.


    One by one, they are extremely fierce and fearless of death.


    Yang Yuan drew his sword out of the scabbard, lifted it up, and said with a loud voice: "brothers, I will be ordered to terminate the war. Now, take Ben''s orders. "


    More than 3000 soldiers were ordered, and they looked solemn.


    Yang Yuan loves soldiers like a son. He has a high prestige among the soldiers.


    Yang Yuan ordered: "the only child in the family, out!"


    At the command, however, the soldiers, you see me, I see you, one by one did not move, no one stood up.


    When Yang Yuan saw this scene, he felt warm in his heart.


    However, with a glance, he fell on the third soldier from the right in the first row and roared: "Chen Dagu, you son of a bitch, you are the only son and the eldest son of the family. There are only a few sisters left in the family. Why do you stand inside if you don''t go out? "


    Chen Dagou is a burly man with a simple and honest appearance.


    When he heard Yang Yuan''s words, he said in a loud voice, "general Qi, although I''m the only child in my family, I have three sisters, which are enough to take care of my parents. I''m willing to stay and fight to the end with the general. "


    "Fight to the end!"


    With Chen''s words, the rest of the soldiers yelled.


    "Fight to the end!"


    "Fight to the end!"


    ¡­¡­


    With a shout, the voice reverberated in the barracks.


    This sound is like a thorn, stabbing at the heart of Yang Yuan.


    There is no other reason. If you stay and fight with him, you will die without life. I''m afraid you can''t live.


    The soldier''s shouting disrupted the arrangement of Yangyuan.


    Yang Yuan wants to pull out the soldiers who are the only son and the families with difficulties.


    However, none of them wanted to.


    When Yang Yuan saw the soldiers like this, he was no longer affectable. He bowed 90 degrees and said thanks to 3000 soldiers. He went straight to Zhang Liao and said, "general, get ready to retreat. I''ll be ready."


    "Good!"


    Zhang Liao nodded.


    "Order, withdraw!"


    With Zhang Liao''s order, Zhang Liao retreated with his army.


    Zhang Liao led the troops to retreat, and the soldiers of the state of Chu took advantage of the situation to kill them.


    At this time, three thousand soldiers under Yang Yuan''s command were killed to prevent Chu soldiers from pursuing and killing.


    Three thousand soldiers, all fighting to the death.


    When Zhao Yun saw this scene in the rear, he sighed in his eyes and said, "it''s not easy for Zhang Liao to lead the army. Faced with such difficulties, there are people who dare to die. "


    Just now, Zhao Yun heard the shouts of the soldiers under Yangyuan''s command.


    This is a respectable enemy.


    Respect is respect. Since he is the enemy, Zhao Yun will not stay.


    Zhao Yun ordered: "sprint with all your strength and work hard to defeat the soldiers of the state of Wei."


    When the order was passed on, the Chu soldiers were more aggressive.


    The soldiers of the state of Chu were on the offensive, but the 3000 soldiers under the command of Yangyuan fought for their lives. One by one, they fought with all their strength to prevent the soldiers from covering up.


    In the fight, time goes by little.


    The soldiers under the command of Yangyuan are getting more and more dead and wounded.


    Two thousand!


    A thousand!


    Six hundred!


    Two hundred!


    ¡­¡­


    At the end of the fight, there were only a hundred soldiers left by Yangyuan.


    More than a hundred soldiers were bathed in blood and exhausted.


    It''s already dawn.


    A touch of fish belly white appeared in the East, and a new day began.


    Yang Yuan was gasping with a knife. The same is true of his soldiers.


    The soldiers of the state of Chu were shocked.


    The spirit of the soldiers of the state of Wei made them marvel and surprised.


    Fight to the death!


    Everyone''s fighting to the death.No one has surrendered. Such an army is admirable.


    Zhao Yun came over. He looked at the few soldiers left under Yang Yuan''s command and said in a loud voice, "you are admirable for your fighting to death. Ben will promise that as long as you surrender, Ben will accept you and give you no less than your present position. "


    Zhao Yun also appreciates loyal soldiers.


    Hearing this, Yang Yuan began to laugh and said in a loud voice, "what''s the fear of death? If you die, you will not surrender. "


    "Brothers, can we kill again?"


    Yang Yuan roared.


    His voice was hoarse and tired.


    His hand holding the handle of the knife trembled slightly, but his spirit was as strong as iron.


    "Can kill!"


    "Can kill!"


    A rustle of answers sounded.


    One by one, the soldiers of the state of Wei had an unsteady voice, but they were firm.


    Yang Yuan slowly raised his knife and ordered: "kill!"


    He led only a few soldiers under his command and killed them again.


    Zhao Yun waved his hand, and soldiers of the state of Chu swarmed up.


    In a quarter of an hour, all the people under Yang Yuan''s command were killed, and none of them remained.


    To death, no one surrendered.


    Zhao Yun''s face admired him. He restrained his emotion and ordered: "clean up the battlefield, count the losses and rest in place."


    After the order was given, the army began to clean up.


    At this time, the young general around Zhao Yun came over.


    The general looked eager and said, "general, Zhang Liao has run away with his soldiers. If he went back first, wouldn''t he join Xun you and attack General Zhang Ren? Do we want to pursue immediately and not give Zhang Liao a chance? "


    Zhao Yun laughed, looked confident, shook his head and said, "don''t worry, there will have been arrangements. Take a day off and get on tomorrow. In the next battle, Zhang Liao will be defeated. "


    "Here it is


    After listening, the young general doesn''t speak any more.

 Chapter 859

    Zhang Liao retreated with his soldiers, and when he got rid of Zhao Yun''s pursuit, he stopped to rest. After a rest, Zhang Liao found that the loss of the army was not serious.


    This result was obtained after the voluntary termination of Yangyuan.


    Thinking of Yang Yuan, Zhang Liao sighed.


    As a Veteran General in the battlefield, Zhang Liao knows the consequences of Yang Yuan''s stay with his soldiers.


    In the face of Zhao Yun''s attack, Yang Yuan is dead.


    Zhang Liao was sad in his heart, but he didn''t show anything. He tried his best to stabilize the morale of the army and pacify the soldiers. After an hour''s rest, Zhang Liao ordered the troops to continue on their way.


    The army marched to the Wei camp in Yingchuan county.


    When Zhang Liao was on his way, he was in Yingchuan county.


    Wei army camp, camp.


    Xun you was in the middle of the army and made a defensive plan.


    Because of Xun you''s precise arrangement, Zhang Ren and Wei Yan attacked several times, but failed to break Xun you''s defense. Whether it was night attack or frontal attack, Zhang Ren failed.


    On the contrary, the situation on the battlefield is deadlocked.


    Xun you looked through the recent war report and news, did not see the latest news about Zhang Liao.


    In the dossier, only the news of the confrontation between Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun is recorded.


    There is no follow-up news.


    Somehow, Xun you always felt that it was wrong, because there was too little news about Zhang Liao during this period.


    Xun you was worried about Zhang Liao.


    In order to defeat Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren, Xun you and Zhang Liao made a plan. Under the guise of attacking Zhang Ren and Wei Yan who were escorted northward, Zhang Liao led the main forces to attack Wan county and Xinye County, intending to capture Xinye, and then Wan County defeated Zhao Yun.


    As long as Zhang Liao wins in the front line, he can retreat and join Xun you to attack Zhang Ren and Wei Yan.


    Once the attack is completed, the overall situation of the war will be determined.


    If Zhao Yun''s army is defeated, the stability of Southern Jingzhou will be affected.


    Further, it will affect the battle between Cao Cao and Liu Xiu, make the situation a little bit reversed, and ultimately not conducive to Liu Xiu. It can be said that the victory or defeat of Zhang Liao''s department is the most crucial first World War, which is related to the life and death of the overall situation.


    "Somebody


    Xun you said.


    As the words fell, a soldier came in and saluted respectfully.


    Xun you said, "please come here."


    "Here it is


    The soldiers went to inform me.


    After a while, a middle-aged man with a body length of more than eight feet, leopard head around the eyes, a big body, a round waist and sharp eyes came in wearing armor.


    This is the man in the white.


    Meng Bai is a general under Zhang Liao. Without Zhang Liao, he is now a soldier in command of the army.


    Meng Bai saluted and said, "military commander!"


    Xun you nodded slightly and asked, "general Meng, do you have the latest news about General Zhang?"


    Meng Bai shook his head and said, "report back to the military division. There is no latest news yet. As soon as there is news of General Zhang, the general will immediately present it to the Army division. I dare not delay at all. "


    Xun you nodded.


    The more so, the more uneasy Xun you was.


    He didn''t know about the situation on the front line.


    Xun you thought about it and said, "you can send spies to the front line to inquire about General Zhang and see the situation of the battle between general Zhang and Zhao Yun."


    "Here it is


    Mengbaidexing, turn and leave.


    Xun you was sitting in the tent, worried in his eyes.


    ¡­¡­


    Outside the barracks, Zhang Renying.


    Nearly 30000 troops were stationed in a tight array.


    Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang song all sit in the camp.


    Three people''s facial expression, all some dignified.


    Three people with 30000 troops into Yingchuan, arrived at the Wei camp, directly launched an attack on Xun you. Under the strong attack of the Chu soldiers, Xunyou did not lose out, so that the Chu soldiers were defeated.


    It''s hard to win in a row.


    If we can''t attack for a long time, it will affect the situation of Zhao Yun in the rear.


    Under such circumstances, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang Song are under great pressure.


    Wei Yan clenched his fist and said in a deep voice: "General Zhang, we have been fighting with Xun you for some time. The longer the time goes on, the worse it will be for us."


    "With 30000 mouths, we have to consume a lot of food every day."


    "The army has not prepared much food."


    "Another ten days and a half months, there will be no more food."


    "Without food, even if the soldiers can fight again, we have to withdraw. After all, our food was delivered when the army left. Zhang Liao and General Zhao fought in Wan county. We cut off Zhang Liao''s grain road, but Zhang Liao also cut off our grain road. "


    "Today, we are also extremely dangerous."


    Wei Yan''s eyes twinkled and said, "if we don''t pay attention, we will get into trouble. In the end, the general believed that the confrontation could not be maintained. Even if we attack hard, we have to continue to attack and we can''t stopZhang Ren nodded his head and said, "Wen Chang is right. This battle must be decided quickly. If we continue to procrastinate, we will be in a crisis. "


    Zhang Song stroked the goatee under his jaw and sighed: "unfortunately, Xun you was extremely cautious, and the layout was strictly prohibited. Every aspect was considered properly. It''s almost impossible to deal with Xun you. If we have twice as many troops, we will be able to attack Xun you''s defense head on. The present military strength is extremely difficult. "


    Zhang Ren gritted his teeth and said, "it''s very difficult. You have to work hard."


    As soon as the words changed, Zhang Ren looked at Wei Yan and Zhang Song and said, "let''s think about it again and consider a perfect solution. We have lost once. We can''t lose any more. We have to go through this war to show our shame. So come up with a panacea. Until the end of the day, we can''t adopt the strategy of killing the enemy by one thousand and losing eight hundred. "


    When Zhang Song and Wei Yan heard the speech, they both looked serious.


    If you want to be ashamed before snow, you have to defeat Xun you.


    "Oh, it''s hard!"


    Zhang Song sighed.


    Wei Yan said, "General Zhang, I have an idea."


    "What do you think?" Zhang Ren''s eyes were full of expectation.


    Wei Yan replied, "what if we leave a soldier behind and pretend to attack Xun you, and the whole army retreats to the rear to attack Zhang Liao with General Zhao? There is no doubt that Zhang Liao will be defeated when the two armies attack each other. After defeating Zhang Liao, we will attack together again, and Xun you will be helpless. "


    "No way!"


    Zhang Ren shook his head and refused.


    Zhang Ren explained: "we fought Xunyou several times, but we failed to beat him. It shows that he is smart."


    "Do you think Xun you can''t see that our soldiers are retreating on a large scale?"


    "When we retreat, Xun you will not sit back and ignore us. He will certainly pursue us."


    "However, Xun you will not fight with us, because he is in a weak position. Once we are caught up and turn around to attack Xun you, Xun you will set up a camp to defend


    "On the whole, Xun you''s plan is very simple, defense mixed with attack."


    Zhang Ren continued: "Xun you is like a wolf waiting around. He won''t attack easily, but once he has the opportunity to attack, he will attack us without hesitation."


    "Without the chance, Xun you will always take the defense, fighting for time and opportunity for Zhang Liao."


    "As long as Zhang Liao wins, Xun you and Zhang Liao will attack us together."


    Zhang Ren sighed and said, "to some extent, the tactics of Xun you and Zhang Liao are not much different from ours. It depends on who can take the lead and who can break the balance first. "


    After hearing this, Wei Yan nodded slightly.


    Wei Yan agreed with Zhang Ren''s analysis.


    Now the two sides have maintained a balance, but whether it is Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, or Zhang Ren and Xun you, which side of the balance is broken first will lead to a change in the overall situation.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came in in a hurry.


    The soldier hugged his fist and said, "General Zhang, commander Ma Su of the Fourth Army, please see me."


    "Ma Su?"


    Zhang Ren brows a pick.


    Under Liu Xiu''s command, there were many armies, almost all of which had military divisions.


    The division of the first army is Wen pin.


    The second army''s division was Ma Liang.


    The Third Army division was Lu Su, who was later transferred to the cabinet center.


    The Fourth Army commander was ma su.


    The chief General of the fourth army was Tai Shici. But taishici, commander in chief of the Fourth Army, was stationed in Qichun County of Jiangxia County, responsible for protecting the security of Jiangxia county. How did Ma Su come to Yingchuan when Tai Shici was in Jiangxia?


    "Come on, please!"


    Zhang Ren''s mind turns suddenly, but he orders directly.


    After a while, a young man with a clear face, a sword eyebrow and a confident look came in.


    This person is no other than Ma su.


    Today''s Ma Su is more mature and steady than when he just became an official.


    In history, Ma Su stayed with Zhuge Liang all the time. He had theory, but he never went to the army and had no practical experience. So that he led the battle with Cao Jun that he lost the Street Pavilion directly.


    Today, Ma Su is experienced but extraordinary.


    Ma Su entered the tent and faced Zhang Ren. He bowed his hand and said, "I''ve met General Zhang, general Wei and Zhang Junshi before dismounting Ma su."


    The crowd saluted back.


    Zhang Ren smiles and waves his hand: "Mr. Ma, please sit down!"


    Ma Su lifted his robes and sat down in the camp.


    Zhang Ren inquired: "the army commander Ma is in Jiangxia. Why did he come to Yingchuan county. What happened to Jiang Xia? "


    Zhang Ren is very curious about Ma Su''s intention.


    Ma Su said with a light smile, "everything is well in Jiangxia. I''m here to defeat Xunyou."


    "This time, not only did he come down, but general Taishi also led his troops into Yingchuan."


    "This battle is at war with the state of Wei. General Taishi is ready to join hands with general Zhang to break Xunyou''s camp at one stroke."Ma Su talked with great eloquence and said, "this is how we think about the next plan, such and such..."


    Immediately, Ma Su said the next arrangement.


    After hearing this, Zhang Ren said with a smile, "wonderful, wonderful! Since then, this battle will be won. "


    Ma Su also laughed.


    Zhang Ren and Tai Shici joined hands to attack Xun you, and naturally they would win.


    If the alliance fails, there will be no war.


    Zhang Ren is still a little curious, said: "Ma Junshi, Taishi general stationed in Jiangxia, how can suddenly come to Yingchuan?"


    Ma Su replied: "during this period, general Tai Shi was busy attacking Yuzhou. He had captured part of the cities and gained a firm foothold in Yuzhou. At this time, General Zhao sent someone to ask, and general Taishi came along with the situation. "


    "Good! We will join hands to defeat the enemy. "


    Zhang Ren said excitedly.


    Since Zhao Yun invited him, Zhang Ren didn''t care. And with the help of Tarshis, this battle will be won.

 Chapter 860

    Ma Su comes to Zhang Ren''s camp to inform him of the news, but he is not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he temporarily stays in the camp and works with Zhang Ren.


    A day goes by.


    The next day, early in the morning.


    As time drew closer and closer to summer, the sun was shining across the sky, giving off a lot of heat.


    In the air, there is a little bit of summer heat.


    Chu military camp.


    As soon as he arrived in the morning, Zhang Ren ordered to drum and gather soldiers. All the soldiers in the army, gather and prepare for battle.


    Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang Song were standing in front of the army. Zhang Ren was wearing armor, sword on his waist, and an iron helmet. He had a cold face and sharp eyes, which swept all the soldiers.


    In the camp, the atmosphere is killing.


    When the drums stopped, the soldiers were silent and there was silence.


    "Let''s go!"


    Zhang Ren ordered.


    The army went out of the camp and went straight to the camp of the Wei army.


    It''s not far from where Zhang Ren set up camp to where Xun you lived. After a little half an hour, the army arrived at the camp of the state of Wei.


    The army is arrayed in an extremely strict manner.


    It''s boundless and fierce.


    In the military camp of the state of Wei, the soldiers of the state of Wei had already been on guard, one by one. During this period, Zhang Ren often led soldiers to attack, and the soldiers of the state of Wei were used to it.


    Zhang Ren rode his horse and stood, staring at the soldiers under his command. He said with a loud voice: "brothers, this morning, I got a message from Wan county."


    "There was a war in Wan County, our rear area."


    "Zhang Liao, the general of the state of Wei, led the army to attack Wan county. General Zhao Yun led his troops to attack and had defeated Zhang Liao. Now, General Zhao is leading the army to us. "


    "General Zhao has won in the rear. Look at us. We haven''t made the slightest effort yet. Instead of defeating the Wei army and capturing Xun you alive, we wasted countless hours. "


    Zhang Ren''s voice became more and more impassioned.


    There is discontent in the words.


    Of course, this is Zhang Ren''s intention.


    In fact, Zhang Ren didn''t get the news of Zhao Yun''s victory at all, and he didn''t know the result of the battle between Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao. However, Zhang Ren got the help of Tai Shici, who was able to defeat Xun you.


    Under such circumstances, in order to boost morale and cheer up the soldiers, Zhang Ren had to lie, saying that Zhao Yun had won in the rear and that Zhao Yun was leading a large army to support him.


    Zhang Ren''s soldiers are Zhao Yun''s army.


    The hearts of these soldiers are toward Zhao Yun and respect him very much. Zhang Ren uses Zhao Yun''s victory to motivate the soldiers, so that they can inspire all the strength of the soldiers, let the soldiers cheer up and go all out to attack.


    It''s a morale booster!


    It''s also a white lie.


    As long as Zhang Ren and Tai Shici join hands to defeat Xun you''s camp, the situation will be completely reversed.


    Zhang Ren saw the soldiers talking, especially many soldiers looked excited, and he had a smile on the corner of his mouth.


    It is right to use Zhao Yun''s victory to motivate the soldiers.


    Zhang Ren raised his head and continued: "you are soldiers trained by General Zhao. You are all elite of Chu. Now, General Zhao easily defeated Zhang Liao. Once General Zhao knew that you had not made any breakthrough in the front line, even in the camp of Wei Kingdom, what would General Zhao think? Do you want to see General Zhao disappointed? "


    "No!"


    One of the soldiers answered.


    Zhang Renshen pointed to the school, nodded slightly, with a look of approval on his face, and continued: "well said, you don''t want to, the soldiers don''t want to, and the generals don''t want to. Since I don''t want to disappoint General Zhao, what should I do next? "


    "Break the barracks of the state of Wei!"


    Xiao Xiao blushed and answered loudly again.


    Zhang Ren raised his long gun and roared hysterically: "you''re right, break the Wei barracks. Today, we are going to break the barracks of the state of Wei. Do you dare to kill me? "


    "Dare


    The little school answered loudly.


    As the school opened its mouth, the soldiers in the army echoed.


    All the soldiers were shouting with great momentum.


    Zhang Yiyi shakes the reins of the horse and moves the horse from his crotch. Holding a long gun, he pointed sideways at the camp of the state of Wei, and said in a loud voice, "since you dare to kill me, I''ll prove it to general Ben and General Zhao. Kill the past, break through the barracks of the state of Wei, and capture Xun you alive. "


    "Kill


    Zhang Ren roared and gave the order.


    As soon as the order was given, the bugle sounded. The bleak and heavy sound of the horn reverberated in the air and reached the ears of all the soldiers. In a flash, the Chu soldiers under Zhang Ren''s command were killed and went straight to the Wei camp.


    "Kill! Kill


    One by one, the soldiers clenched their weapons and cried out.All the soldiers are fighting forward. They are Zhao Yun''s soldiers. They are Zhao Yun''s pride. For the sake of Zhao Yun and for their own sake, this battle must break through Xun you''s camp.


    The cries of killing came one after another.


    The army swarmed out to the camp of the Wei army.


    "Dong! Dong


    The battle drum followed and inspired the soldiers to fight.


    When Zhang Ren attacked Xun you, he dispatched most of his troops, leaving only one army to guard against attack. Zhang Ren was quite sure of this battle, because Xun you didn''t expect Tai Shici to appear.


    Zhang Ren didn''t fight in person.


    On the contrary, Wei Yan couldn''t wait to take the lead and take the soldiers to fight.


    When the soldiers of the state of Chu attacked in an all-round way, Xun you was surprised to see this scene in the camp.


    After Zhang Ren arrived, he took his soldiers with him to attack continuously. After losing, he suspended the attack. Today, he suddenly made a crazy attack, which really surprised him. He didn''t expect Zhang Ren to make such a move.


    Xun you was surprised by the fierce attack of Chu soldiers, but he also arranged soldiers to defend in an orderly way.


    Xun you himself arranged the whole camp''s defense. He gave full play to his greatest strength with the smallest force. All the soldiers, under the command of Xun you, resisted the attack of Chu soldiers.


    The two sides took the military camp of the state of Wei as their stronghold and fought each other constantly.


    The battle started in the morning. In the fight, time goes by. Inside and outside the camp, there are countless corpses, rivers of blood, and countless corpses lying on the ground.


    Among the corpses were soldiers from Chu and Wei. One by one, they were fighting to the death, and even many of the fallen soldiers were still fighting together.


    At noon, the fighting continued.


    Zhang Ren looked at the attacking soldiers with firm eyes. He knew that the soldiers must be tired after fighting all morning, but he didn''t order to retreat or slow down the attack.


    Xun you felt strange in his eyes.


    Compared with previous attacks, Zhang Ren''s surprise attack was too strange.


    Zhang Renhuo went out and smashed up all the Chu troops. It was a deadly attack.


    "Could it be that Zhao Yun was defeated in Wan County, and Zhang Ren was anxious to reverse his occupation before he made an all-out attack?"


    In Xun you''s heart, there was such an idea.


    Now Zhang Ren''s sudden attack, Xun Yousi thought about it, only thought of such a possibility.


    If Zhao Yun wins in Wan County, Zhang Ren doesn''t need to attack wildly. He just needs to spread the news, which is enough to affect the morale of the Wei soldiers under Xun you''s command, to gain an advantage, and to crush Xun you''s morale.


    However, Zhang Ren chose to attack with all his strength.


    The only explanation is that Zhang Liao won and Zhao Yun lost.


    Xunyou concluded that he was not nervous, so he decided to defend. He told the soldiers to defend and resist the attack of Chu soldiers.


    At noon, the sun is high.


    When the sun is in the air, there is a trace of dryness and heat on people.


    Xun you was in a good mood, but he didn''t think so.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came quickly.


    The soldier came running from the rear of the camp. He came to Xun you with a look of fear, and cried out: "commander, something''s wrong. Our rear camp has been attacked and now it has been broken down. The enemy is coming in. Come in our direction. "


    Brush!


    Xun you''s face suddenly changed.


    It''s a trick!


    At this moment, Xun you finally understood.


    The reason why Zhang Ren went all out to attack was not that the victory of Zhang Liao in the front gave him pressure, but that a Chu army attacked the rear camp in his rear. However, Xunyou has been paying attention to Zhang Ren''s actions. It''s impossible for Zhang Ren to dispatch soldiers, but he doesn''t know.

 Chapter 861

    Xun you was shocked and asked, "which army is the rear army?"


    Shaking his head, the soldier replied, "I don''t know. I only see the word" Tai Shi "on the other side''s flag."


    Taishi?


    Xun you thought a little and said in surprise: "Tai Shi CI!"


    As Cao Cao''s confidant counselor, Xun you knew the situation of Liu Xiu''s troops and the main generals under his command.


    Only taishici has the military flag of Taishi.


    As the chief General of Liu Xiu''s Fourth Army, taishici should be stationed in Jiangxia County, Jingzhou. How could he suddenly arrive at Yingchuan county? Moreover, from Yingchuan county to Jiangxia County, there is also Runan County in Yuzhou, which is a long way to go.


    When Xun you thought about it, he felt that there were countless problems coming to him, which made him very upset. Xun you couldn''t figure out how to suddenly encounter such a situation. It was a mess.


    Xun you had rich experience. Knowing that the situation was not good, he was no longer in love with war. He ordered: "summon, retreat!"


    At this time, Xun you decisively gave the order to retreat.


    If he doesn''t retreat again, he will fall into it and find it hard to get out.


    Although Xun you knew that as soon as he retreated with his soldiers, Zhang Liao on the front line became a real lone army, Xun you had to retreat. If Xun you didn''t retreat, Zhang Ren and Tai Shici would not be able to escape when the rear camp was broken.


    At that time, not only Zhang Liao could not support himself alone, but also his Wei army would be destroyed.


    While Xun you was retreating with his soldiers, he ordered the small school around him to lead a group of soldiers to break through the encirclement in the direction of Wan county. He told Zhang Liao the news and asked Zhang Liao to lead his troops to retreat, so as to avoid being attacked by Tai Shici, Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun. As long as the soldiers sent by Xun you arrived in Wan county first, Zhang Liao had a chance to withdraw.


    After Xun you ordered the retreat, the defense line of the Wei soldiers collapsed.


    Zhang Ren seized the opportunity and took advantage of it.


    The pursuit was fierce.


    The soldiers of Chu still don''t know the real reason why the soldiers of Wei retreated. They all think that they fought bravely and scared the soldiers of Wei.


    For a time, the morale was like a rainbow.


    All the soldiers, carrying weapons, whining and killing.


    When Zhang Ren was in command, he saw the soldiers covering up Xunyou, who was retreating, and followed with the army. However, Zhang Ren is not in a hurry to catch up. He takes his soldiers to clean up the rear and captures the soldiers of the state of Wei who fall behind.


    When taishici cut off Xunyou''s retreat, Zhang Ren was not in a hurry.


    When Xunyou retreated, the retreating Wei soldiers soon met the Fourth Army under taishici.


    As soon as the two sides contacted, the soldiers of the state of Wei were defeated.


    The demoralized soldiers of the state of Wei could not stop the soldiers under the command of taishici.


    Tai Shici''s eyes swept and saw the flag of the army of Wei.


    The flag is here, the coach is there.


    Today, the flag of the army camp of the state of Wei is still there, which is the belief of the soldiers of the state of Wei.


    when Tai Shici led the army to cover up, he fought and ordered loudly: "those who surrender will not be killed!"


    "Those who fall will not be killed!"


    "Those who fall will not be killed!"


    One by one, the soldiers of the fourth army were shouting.


    The sound reverberated into the ears of the soldiers of the state of Wei.


    Today''s soldiers of the state of Wei, although the flag is still there, although Xun you is still there, but without Zhang Liao as the chief general, after the collapse of the army, the morale of the army is scattered and difficult to unite. Even though many soldiers of the state of Wei fled with Xun you, a large number of soldiers could not support themselves and knelt down to surrender.


    There was the first soldier to surrender, followed by the second. The momentum of surrender, like a plague, spread quickly among the soldiers of the state of Wei.


    A large number of Wei soldiers knelt down to surrender.


    Only a small number of Wei soldiers continued to retreat with Xun you.


    Tai Shici''s eyes fell on the place where the flag of the state of Wei was, with a sneer in his mouth. Xun you is too late to escape. He went to ambush in the rear of Xunyou camp. If Xunyou escaped, where would his face be.


    "We can''t let the soldiers of Wei escape."


    Taishici ordered to pursue Xun you.


    Xun you ran away quickly and was nervous.


    He had been a prisoner once, and if he was caught again, it would be a second. Before he returned to Cao Cao, it was because of Sun Quan that Liu Xiu had to release him.


    Up to now, Cao and Liu are fighting in an all-round way. Once Xun you was captured by the state of Chu, he could not be put back.


    "Retreat, retreat!"


    Xun you yelled and drove his horse to retreat quickly.


    Surrounding soldiers, covering Xun you retreat.


    "Da! "Da!"


    As Xun you retreated, the sound of horse''s hooves suddenly came from the official road ahead. With the sound of the horse''s hooves, a surge of cavalry appeared on the official road.


    The big flag accompanied by this cavalry had the word "Chu" of Dou da.At first glance, it is the cavalry of Chu state.


    Seeing this, Xun you said in his heart: it''s over.


    Tess ambushed his cavalry on the road of his retreat, which is easy enough to disperse his soldiers under the current situation.


    "Commander, there are cavalry of Chu state in front of us. What shall we do?"


    The accompanying school, with a look of panic in its eyes, asked.


    There are cavalry in the front and pursuers after. Under such circumstances, they could not escape, especially the Chu cavalry.


    It''s impossible to escape.


    "Come down!"


    Xun you had no choice but to surrender.


    With Xun you''s order, the soldiers of Wei state around no longer resisted and fled, and they all knelt down and surrendered. All the people knelt down, but Xun you was still sitting on his horse.


    When Xun you let his soldiers and generals surrender, he was reluctant to let them die. However, as a confidant of Cao Cao and a minister of Wei, he could not surrender.


    Soldiers can surrender, but they cannot.


    Otherwise, I''m sorry for Cao Cao''s kindness.


    The cavalry of the state of Chu and Tai Shici joined together and soon brought the situation under control.


    When taishici saw Xunyou, he drove his horse to Xunyou and said with a smile, "Xunzi Junshi, taishici is polite."


    Xun you said: "general Taishi lurks in the rear area unconsciously. It''s powerful!" He watched the soldiers of the state of Wei being arrested, and Xun you''s heart was dripping with blood. But he tried to keep himself calm, not to be underestimated by Tarshis.


    Tai Shici said with a smile, "Xun Junshi praised me falsely."


    He ordered the soldiers to take Xunyou. He didn''t talk to Xunyou any more, and he didn''t plan to recruit Xunyou for Liu Xiu. As long as the soldiers watch Xun you, don''t let Xun you have an accident.


    Taishici ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and wait for Zhang Ren and Wei Yan to come.


    After a short time, Zhang Ren led the army.


    The two armies joined.


    Zhang Ren looked grateful and said: "general Taishi, thank you so much. If you had not suddenly attacked Xun you from the rear, we would not have been able to win Xun you in this war. "


    Taishici smile, said: "General Zhang polite."


    They were polite, and then they went back to the place where the army of the state of Wei camped.


    There was also a lot of grain in the military camp of the state of Wei.


    With this batch of grain, Zhang Ren''s soldiers were not short of food in a short time.


    After counting the battlefield, all the prisoners were under control, while Xun you was held in solitary custody.


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    Zhang Ren, Tai Shici, Wei Yan, Zhang song, Ma Su and others all came to Qi.


    Zhang Ren looked at Tai Shici and asked, "general Tai Shi, Xun you was captured. His army was defeated. We captured more than 16000 Wei soldiers. What will general Tai Shi do next? "


    With a smile, Tai Shici said, "Xun you is defeated, and the war in Yingchuan county is over. Next, Ben will go back to Yuzhou and take the whole territory of Yuzhou. Before, because Xunyou was in Yingchuan County, some places in Yuzhou could not be touched, otherwise the news of attacking Yuzhou would be leaked. Now that he has captured Yingchuan County, Xun you has also seized it. He could have captured the whole of Yuzhou. "


    Zhang Ren asked, "when will the general leave?"


    Taishici replied, "take a rest for a day. Tomorrow morning, we will set out to return to Yuzhou."


    Zhang Ren no longer asked.


    It''s clear that Tess doesn''t intend to get involved in the subsequent war.

 Chapter 862

    Taishici turned around and asked, "General Zhang, Xun you has been defeated. Next, do you plan to seize the whole territory of Yingchuan County, or turn around and attack Zhang Liao with General Zhao? "


    Zhang Ren thought about it and said slowly, "I intend to leave some soldiers here to consolidate the achievements. In a short time, we will not attack rashly. "


    "Then, send an army to return and attack Zhang Liao with General Zhao."


    "Up to now, there is no latest news from General Zhao. I would have worried about the situation in the rear."


    "As long as the rear is stable, everything is under control."


    Zhang Ren said: "the current enemy is Zhang Liao, as long as the annihilation of the Wei soldiers led by Zhang Liao is the biggest victory. As for the whole territory of Yingchuan County, without Zhang Liao and Xun you, it will be in the bag. There is no difference between earlier and later. "


    Tai Shici nodded and said, "General Zhang has a point." As soon as the words changed, Tai Shici stood up and said, "some of the soldiers he was going to bring were injured. He was going to see the soldiers under his command. Let''s talk."


    He left and went straight to the bank.


    After Tai Shici left, Ma Su also left. Only Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang Song were left in the camp.


    Zhang Ren looked at Wei Yan and said, "chief Wen, the next main thing is to attack Zhang Liao. You lead 20000 elite soldiers and hurry back to attack Zhang Liao with General Zhao. The soldiers of the state of Wei, who would have been sitting here, are waiting for you to return. Remember to be careful when you go back this time. "


    "Thank you, general!"


    When Wei Yan got the order, he was overjoyed.


    Now that Xunyou was destroyed, Zhang Liao was a turtle in a jar, and it was hard for him to stand alone.


    In Wei Yan''s opinion, Zhao Yun could not easily lose to Zhang Liao when he was in Wan county. Even if Zhao Yun did not win, it was enough to protect himself in Wan county.


    Attacking Zhang Liao is a matter of meritorious service.


    Zhang Ren entrusted this task to him on purpose.


    Zhang Ren waved his hand and said, "time is pressing. Go and order the troops. When you have selected the best soldiers, you are ready to go. "


    "No!"


    Wei Yan nodded, turned and left the camp.


    ¡­¡­


    On the official road leading to Yingchuan county.


    An army is on its way fast. The big flag in this army is a big "Zhang".


    Zhang Liao was the leader.


    He and his soldiers retreated from Wan county and were on their way to Yingchuan county.


    Zhang Liao lost to Zhao Yun. Although he lost for a while, he still has plans for the next step. As long as Zhang Liao and his soldiers return to Yingchuan county and attack Zhang Ren with Xun you, the situation can be reversed, and then they will attack Zhao Yun with Xun you.


    In this way, even if he lost for a while, he was not defeated by Zhao Yun.


    When the army was on the way, Zhao Yun was in the rear with his soldiers. Because of Zhao Yun''s persistent pursuit, Zhang Liao did not dare to relax.


    "Da! "Da!"


    The sound of the horse''s hooves came from behind.


    A sentry came and ran to Zhang Liao. He reined in his horse, turned over and got off the horse and said, "tell general, Zhao Yun''s pursuers are half a day away from us."


    "Explore again!"


    Zhang Liao gave an order.


    The sentry retreated and went back.


    The two sides are still half a day away, and Zhang Liao is not worried. Zhao Yun with soldiers to catch up quickly, and he is also in rapid retreat, if he is faster, the distance between the two sides will be bigger and bigger.


    At this time, Zhang Liao side of a school captain opened his mouth.


    Hao Guang looked eager to try and said, "General Zhang, we are retreating. Zhao Yun is chasing us. What if we find a place to stop and ambush Zhao Yun? As long as the ambush wins, we can take advantage of the situation to kill back and kill Nanyang County. "


    After hearing this, Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "no way!"


    Hao Guang looked puzzled and asked, "why?"


    Zhang Liao explained, "what can you think of? Can Zhao Yun not think of it? Zhao Yun sent to pursue the vanguard, followed by Zhao Yun''s army


    "We ambushed Zhao Yun''s vanguard, which is of little use and a waste of time."


    "The most important thing is that once we stay to ambush, there will be no gap with Zhao Yun."


    "If we can''t beat Zhao Yun in one go, we will be defeated."


    Zhang Liao stares at Hao Guang and asks, "do you think we can afford such consequences?"


    Hao Guang smiles and doesn''t mention the ambush of Zhao Yun.


    Suddenly, Hao Guang''s eyes turned and saw that there were six soldiers riding on the official road ahead. As the distance gets closer, when you can see clearly, you can see that the clothes on the six soldiers are worn, and they are bloody and embarrassed.


    Six soldiers, all soldiers of Wei state.


    They were sent out by Xun you. There were nearly 100 soldiers in their group.


    After breaking out, there were only six people left.The leader was named Tong Zhong. When he saw Zhang Liao''s team and confirmed that it was Zhang Liao''s army, he looked happy. He turned over and dismounted, ran to the front of the army on foot, and said in a loud voice, "humble Tong Zhong, please see General Zhang Liao."


    Zhang liaoce immediately looked at Tong Zhong and said in a deep voice, "who are you? What can I do for Ben? "


    Tong Zhong replied, "general, Xun''s army is defeated."


    Zhang Liao''s face changed greatly when he heard the speech.


    He never thought that Tong Zhong had brought such news. Zhang Liao looks at Tong Zhong with a look of suspicion in his eyes. He wondered whether Tong Zhong was sent by Xun you.


    What if Tong Zhong was a soldier of Chu state and sent by Zhang Ren?


    Zhang Liao was not sure and asked, "what''s the matter? How could Xun''s army be defeated by Zhang Ren? "


    "Report back to General Zhang, shortly after you left the camp with your soldiers, general Zhang Ren of the state of Chu with 30000 troops killed outside the camp and attacked the camp in succession," Tong reported


    "Xun''s Army division was in the camp, deployed troops to defend, and kept every drop of water."


    "The two sides fight, Zhang Ren has not been able to break through."


    "Not long ago, when Zhang Ren was attacking, in the middle of the battle, Tai Shici, a general of the state of Chu, suddenly appeared in the rear of our camp. This man led the army to attack and break through the camp. "


    "Zhang Ren and Tai Shici attacked each other, and the camp broke down."


    "When Xun''s Army division broke through the encirclement, it ordered us to send a message, asking general Zhang to evacuate immediately to avoid being attacked."


    Tong Zhong''s face was full of sadness, but he said: "there are more than 100 soldiers who have broken through the encirclement to spread the message. Now, there are only six people left. "


    Zhang Liao sighed with solemn expression.


    He was defeated by Zhao Yun and Xun you by Zhang Ren.


    Two battlefields, two defeats.


    Today''s situation has become quite unfavorable.


    Zhang Liao believed Tong Zhong''s words in his heart, but he was still a little wary. He asked again, "Xun Jun asked Ben to withdraw, but he once said where to withdraw? Next, where to meet him. "


    This is Zhang Liao''s trial.


    If the other party is sent by Zhang Ren, he may be guided to the ambush site.


    Tong Zhong shook his head and said helplessly: "the situation was very urgent at that time. Xun Army division also made temporary arrangements. He didn''t say where he would meet. He just said that general Zhang would make arrangements as early as possible. At that time, Tai Shici cut off the way back, and even if Xun''s army retreated, it would have been a lot of bad luck. "


    Zhang liaowan really believed Tong Zhong.


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, another soldier ran back.


    On the official road ahead, a sentry Trooper raced back.


    The sentry quickly went on his way, and soon came to Zhang Liao''s side. He said, "general, fifteen miles in front of us, there is a soldier of the state of Chu. The big flag is" Wei ". It is speculated that Wei Yan may lead the army. This time, there are about 20000 soldiers led by Wei Yan who are coming to kill us. "


    "Hiss!"


    Zhang Liao took a cool breath.


    One after another, the news is bad. In his rear, Zhao Yun led the troops to pursue him. In front of him, Wei Yan came back. Now he''s caught in the back and forth, and he''s in trouble.


    What to do?


    Zhang Liao''s mind changed rapidly and he was extremely anxious.


    "Calm down, I have to calm down!"


    Zhang Liao knew very well that at this time, he could not panic. Once he was flustered, his soldiers would panic. At that time, without Zhao Yun and Wei Yan attacking, his soldiers would collapse.


    If we want to get a ray of life, we must think calmly.

 Chapter 863

    "Order the army to stop."


    Zhang Liao thought for a moment and gave the first order.


    Before and after the enemy killed, there is no way, Zhang Liao does not intend to advance. When all the soldiers under his command stopped moving forward, Zhang Liao sat down and quietly thought about the countermeasures.


    Before long, Zhang Liao had a plan in mind.


    Zhang Liao told the soldiers to inquire about the surrounding topography, ready to find another way out. However, when Zhang Liao found out the surrounding terrain, he was extremely disappointed.


    The surrounding area of his location is flat, with few deep mountains and forests. At most, it is a hill or something. As for other rivers, they are not useful at all.


    All terrain is not conducive to retreat and hiding.


    The most disappointing thing for Zhang Liao is that the surrounding roads go around, eventually leading to Yingchuan, or later to Wan county.


    In the final analysis, he has to meet Wei Yan or Zhao Yun.


    Zhang Liao was disappointed when he got the news. Even if he got the news from Xun you, it was difficult for him to make a reasonable response.


    After thinking about it, Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and said: "now the road before and after is blocked, so there is only one choice left. If we meet in a narrow road, only the brave can win, and only one way out. "


    Zhang Liao made up his mind.


    Now that it is blocked, we can only break through by force.


    Zhang Liao gathered all the soldiers together, stood in front of them, raised his breath, and said in a loud voice: "sons and sons, general Ben just got the news that our camp in Yingchuan county was attacked by Zhang Ren and Tai Shici, and has been lost."


    "When Xun''s division retreats, send someone to inform us to evacuate as soon as possible."


    "But our present situation is that Zhao Yun''s army is in hot pursuit behind us, and the army led by Wei Yan of the state of Chu is in front of us to encircle and destroy us."


    "Speaking of Wei Yan, this man is our defeated general."


    "We have only one choice now. We can defeat Wei Yan''s army and tear a hole to break through. As long as we break through the encirclement, we can return to Yingchuan and Wei. "


    Zhang Liao spoke in a loud voice. He wanted to boost his morale.


    Without morale, it is difficult for soldiers to have fighting spirit.


    Zhang Liao said something, but the soldiers looked sad. They retreated all the way from Wan County, already very tired. Previously thought that after withdrawing, he and Xun you could attack Zhang Ren, but his fighting spirit was still there. Now that Xun you was defeated, Wei Yan stopped him. He was depressed and worried.


    Zhang Liao sighed at his low morale.


    However, he did not show his emotion and said again: "brothers, if we don''t work hard, we can only become the captives of Wei Yan and Zhang Liao."


    "He became a prisoner of the state of Chu, and there was no freedom."


    "We are captives, and we will never return home."


    "As prisoners, we can no longer be reunited with our families and see our loved ones."


    Zhang Liao raised his head, almost hysterical roar, and said: "now, we have no choice but to fight to the end. Otherwise, we can only be the captives of Chu people, but are you willing to be the captives? "


    Zhang Liao stares at the soldiers and questions them loudly.


    Although the morale of the soldiers is low, they are not cowards. When they heard Zhang Liao''s words, they reluctantly cheered up.


    They didn''t want to be captives and wanted to return to the state of Wei.


    When Zhang Liao saw that his morale was slightly raised, he was greatly encouraged and said, "since they are not willing to be prisoners or stay in Chu, let''s kill them. Order to kill the Wei Yan army. If we don''t have a way, we''ll fight our way out. "


    At the command, the army set out.


    The soldiers advanced in a mighty way and made a quick way.


    Zhang Liao was not satisfied with it, because the morale of the soldiers was not enough and they did not have the strength they had in the past. But in such a situation, Zhang Liao had nothing to do.


    Now, he has no way to turn it around.


    When Zhang Liao and his soldiers were on their way, the situation of Zhang Liao''s army soon spread to Wei Yan. Wei Yan, as a veteran of the battlefield, is not a reckless person. He took the soldiers on the way quickly, and at the same time, he arranged for the sentry to find out the news.


    Therefore, Wei Yan found the trace of Zhang Liao. Knowing that Zhang Liao was leading the army to kill him, Wei Yan had an expectant look on his face and ordered: "summon, the army will rest in place."


    The order was given that the army would not advance.


    The reason why Wei Yan ordered the soldiers to stop advancing was that he had the initiative and could wait for the hare. Zhang Liao is now a trapped animal. He can take soldiers to kill him, but Wei Yan can also wait for Zhang Liao to come.


    In particular, Wei Yan wanted to surrender Zhang Liao without a single soldier.


    The army is resting and waiting.


    As time goes by, the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.


    The news that Wei Yan was no longer moving forward also came into Zhang Liao''s ears. Zhang Liao knew Wei Yan''s intention and knew that Wei Yan would wait for the hare, but he had no choice but to take the soldiers on.


    Finally, Zhang Liao and his soldiers came to the location where Wei Yan was stationed.


    Wei Yan''s whole army formed an array and rode his horse to the front. Seeing that Zhang Liao arrived with his soldiers, he yelled, "where is Zhang Liao?""Da! "Da!"


    Zhang liaoce immediately replied, "Zhang Liao is here!"


    Wei Yan said with a smile: "Zhang Liao, we meet again."


    Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "it''s a pity that I failed to take you down in Wan county last time, so that you escaped from Shengtian."


    Wei Yan said: "that''s the general''s life. Zhang Liao, you can''t escape today. You come with the soldiers to break through the encirclement of the general, then turn to Yingchuan, and finally go north to join Chen Liu and Cao Cao. "


    Zhang Liao''s face was gloomy. He did think so.


    Wei Yan smile, not impatient said: "your idea is too naive, impossible to complete. Zhang Liao, you are a turtle in a jar. You can''t break through. "


    "The soldiers that will be led are only part of it."


    "At the location of your Wei camp, general Zhang Ren led a garrison and laid a net for you. Even if you break through from general Ben, you can''t stop General Zhang''s encirclement and suppression. "


    "General Ben can also tell you that Xun you and his soldiers have been captured."


    "Because there is also general Taishi''s army in our rear."


    "Under the control of many armies, can you still escape? impossible. If you fight with Ben Jiang now, you can only survive and consume the lives of your soldiers. It''s just that you train all the soldiers around you. Are you willing to watch them die? Why fight again when you know you can''t do it? "


    Wei Yan talked bluntly and tried to persuade Zhang Liao to surrender. Now Zhang Liao is in a desperate situation, it is possible to persuade him.


    After hearing this, Zhang Liao looked very gloomy.


    There was a look of despair in his eyes. He thought Xun you could break through, but he didn''t expect that Xun you was captured. Moreover, Zhang Ren is still waiting for him.


    Think of here, Zhang Liao a burst of despair.


    He is not afraid of death, but what about his soldiers?


    The soldiers under his command were all alive. If he can break through and has the possibility of breaking through, Zhang Liao will never give up and will choose to fight. Now there is no possibility.


    Zhang Liao took a deep breath and said helplessly: "I surrender!"

 Chapter 864

    Into the middle of May, the weather gradually hot up. During this period of time, Cao Cao stood still and confronted the Chu soldiers under Liu Xiu.


    It''s not that Cao Cao didn''t launch an attack, but that he once sent troops to attack Liu Xiu twice. He wanted to take advantage of the news of Zhang Ren''s defeat to break Liu Xiu''s camp.


    However, he wenpin kept every drop of water, and Ma Chao, Huang Hu, Sha Moke and other fierce generals were there, which made it difficult for Cao Cao. In desperation, Cao Cao and Liu Xiu faced each other.


    No one attacked, no one let down their guard.


    However, no one can win the other side and can only maintain the deadlock.


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    Cao Cao is playing chess with Xun Yu, stroking his beard.


    The army was stationed, and he had to pass the time.


    As Cao Cao settled down, he said with emotion: "Wen Ruo, in Nanyang, Zhang Liao has not sent back the war report recently, and he doesn''t know what the situation is. If we captured Zhang Ren and Wei Yan alive or killed them last time we captured Wan County, it would be perfect. Unfortunately, we are on the verge of success and failure. Zhao Yun has stirred us up and made us lose the first chance. "


    Today, Cao Cao is quite old.


    His voice was a little hoarse and old. But in his heart, he is not old and has ambition. Even though he was old, Cao Cao wanted to defeat Liu Xiu and unify the world before he died.


    Xun Luozi, not impatient, said: "Your Majesty, with the ability of General Zhang and Gongda, plus their advantage, Nanyang County will win the first battle in the end."


    "At most, it''s the length of time."


    "The war report sent back by Zhang Liao said that they were planning to defeat Zhao Yun and capture Nanyang."


    "It''s expected that if we fight now, there will be no report back."


    Xun Jian talked with no impatience and said: "we just need to maintain a deadlock with Liu Xiu. When the situation in Nanyang opens up, we can win a big victory and destroy Liu Xiu''s defense at one stroke. If Nanyang is stable, Liu Xiu''s morale is as stable as Mount Tai. It''s not a short time to beat Liu Xiu. "


    Cao Cao nodded and said, "at present, we can only do this. I hope we can succeed as soon as possible."


    Two people play chess, you come and I go to pass the time.


    ¡­¡­


    In Liu Xiu''s barracks.


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    Liu Xiu hasn''t had a problem recently. Cao Cao is waiting for the result of Nanyang, he is also waiting for the result of Nanyang. Although it has a warring states system.


    But most of the time, the results system is almost useless.


    During this period, Liu Xiu often called out the Warring States system for research. His system, which only he can see, has been studied for a long time and nothing has been found, and the reward has been put in the system.


    After entering may, Liu Xiu calculated the time and prepared to go back to Luoyang.


    Because there are still ten acres of sweet potato seedlings in the system. In May, when he returned to Luoyang, he estimated that it was nearly June. You can almost bring out sweet potato seedlings for planting.


    After Liu Xiu made up his mind, he said, "come on!"


    The soldier entered the camp, bowed and said, "your majesty!"


    Liu xiudao: "please come to wenpin."


    "Here it is


    The soldier turned and left the camp.


    But shortly after the soldiers left, wenpin came in. Wen pin, with a happy look on his face, hugged his fist and said, "Your Majesty has summoned the last general. What''s your plan?"


    Liu Xiu said, "you come fast enough."


    Wenpin explained: "the end will happen to have something to report to your majesty, just met the soldiers arranged by your majesty."


    Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "I want to go back to Luoyang. When things are finished, I will come to the front line. When I''m away from the camp, you don''t have to report it


    "I will obey you!"


    Wenpin should fight for success.


    As soon as the words changed, wenpin said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I just got the latest war report. At the end of the Nanyang war, Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren and Wei Yan cooperated to capture more than 20000 Wei soldiers and capture Zhang Liao and Xun you alive. "


    "Good!"


    When Liu Xiu heard the news, he could not help but applaud.


    After waiting so long, I finally got the news. The war in Nanyang County was completely reversed, which means that the stalemate between Chu and Wei was broken.


    Wenpin continued: "the war in Nanyang is over, and the next thing is to attack Cao Cao. He thought that the news should be spread as soon as possible to disturb the morale of the Wei army, and then he took advantage of the situation to launch an attack on Cao army. The decisive battle is just around the corner. Will your majesty stay to watch the battle? "


    For the next World War, it must be very wonderful.


    A decisive battle with Cao Cao can not be missed.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "you can command everything. I have to go back to Luoyang. I''ll come back after dealing with Luoyang. By that time, I hope you have defeated the Wei army. "


    "Don''t worry, your majesty. I will try my best to defeat Cao Cao."


    Wenpin should fight for success.


    He also has expectations in his heart.Now that Nanyang World War I is over, it''s time for him to make contributions.


    Liu Xiu continued: "I will leave Huang Hu and only take shamoko back to Luoyang."


    "Thank you, sir."


    Wenpin is even more happy. Only with the fierce tiger of Huang Hu can he stop Xu Chu, a tiger crazy under Cao Cao''s command. In particular, when you are in charge, you can be invincible with yellow tiger.


    Liu Xiu asked, "when will Zhang Liao and Xun you send them?"


    Wenpin replied: "I''m on my way to deliver it. Because I want to ensure the safe delivery, I''m on my way slowly. It will take some time."


    "Yes


    Liu Xiu nodded.


    Liu Xiu immediately called Huang Hu and ordered him to follow wenpin''s instructions. Then Liu Xiu called together the civil and military officials such as Sha Moke, Ma Chao, Xu Shu and Zhang Ya, and said that Wen pin would take charge of the overall situation.


    After everything was arranged properly, Liu Xiu took shamoko out of the camp and went to Luoyang.


    After Liu Xiu left, wenpin launched an offensive against Cao Cao.


    At the beginning, wenpin sent people to spread the news that Zhang Liao and Xun you were captured again. For the state of Wei, Zhang Liao and Xun you were very important people. They and tens of thousands of Wei soldiers became prisoners, which greatly affected the morale of Wei soldiers.


    Even Cao Cao almost fainted with anger.


    When they attacked Wu state, Zhang Liao and Xun you were calculated by Lu Xun, so that they were defeated and captured.


    Now, he has become a prisoner and a general at the expense of his troops.


    Cao Cao was impatient, but he knew that anger would not help, because the morale of the soldiers in the army was greatly affected when they got the news. But at this time, Wen pin led the soldiers to launch a strong attack, and Huang Hu and Ma Chao were the major generals to attack the military camp of the state of Wei.


    It took a day and a night to break Cao Cao''s camp.


    Soldiers of the state of Chu, killed in Cao''s camp.


    Cao Cao organized his soldiers to resist, but the momentum of defeat appeared, and the soldiers gradually showed a disadvantage. Seeing the unfavorable situation, Cao Cao finally chose to withdraw.


    The army retreated to the rear of Chenliu county.


    Although Cao Cao retreated, he retreated and organized an attack.


    Wenpin entered Chenliu county with his army, steadily attacking the city and territory.


    For a time, it was invincible.


    When wenpin attacked the city and plundered the land, Liu Xiu returned to Luoyang City. After Liu Xiu returned, he first went to the harem to visit several pregnant women, and then he ordered the servant to invite Kuai Liang to discuss the matter. Kuai Liang entered the hall and said respectfully, "minister Kuai Liang, meet your majesty."


    Although Kuai Liang deals with government affairs in the rear, he is still aware of the war situation in the front. The battle situation on the front line is very anxious, and the outcome has not been decided yet.


    Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu should not come back.


    When Liu Xiu comes back suddenly, Kuai Liang is not sure about the situation.

 Chapter 865

    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "sit down!"


    "Thank you


    Kuai Liang bowed his thanks.


    Liu Xiu did not immediately ask, but asked: "now the rear, can stability?"


    Kuai Liang held his head high and said with pride: "report back to your majesty, there are cabinet and six officials in charge. Everything goes on in an orderly way, without any problems."


    At present, the cabinet and the six ministries did not have much intrigue in the early days of their establishment.


    All the people work together.


    Therefore, it is very united.


    Kuai Liang changed his words and said, "Your Majesty, after discussing with all the people, there is one thing that needs your majesty to decide."


    "What''s the matter?"


    Liu Xiu asked.


    Kuai Liang replied: "the lumen academy is in the south, and its center is in Xiangyang. Now, when the capital of Luoyang was moved, the officials discussed whether to resume Taixue in Luoyang or to establish another Academy in the north. Although lumen academy is good, it is always inappropriate for it to be the only one. In a short period of time, there is no problem, but in a long period of time, it is always not conducive to the selection of talents in the future. "


    Liu xiudao: "Kuai Qing''s words are really reasonable."


    As a matter of fact, it will also have an impact on the lumen Academy.


    Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "the reconstruction of Taixue can be carried out as soon as possible."


    "Scholars must be selected from academies all over the world."


    "In addition to lumen academy, Yingchuan academy and other academies will be reorganized."


    "In a word, we should build academies all over the state of Chu."


    Liu Xiu thought about it and said again, "the taxi in Taixue school must be selected from the Academy, and no one can be placed at will. At the same time, the academies in all counties of the state of Chu must be controlled by the government, not by the aristocratic families. "


    Kuai Liang said: "I understand!"


    Liu Xiu said, "there is another thing about my return this time."


    Kuai Liang said, "Your Majesty, please show me."


    Liu Xiu arranged: "you can choose a flat place outside Luoyang City and carve out ten mu of uncultivated land, which is of great use to me. Can we finish it in three days


    Kuai Liang said, "Your Majesty, why three days? One day is enough."


    Liu xiudao: "OK, when you are ready, report back."


    "Here it is


    Kuai Liang arched his hand and said, "I''m leaving."


    Liu Xiu waved his hand, and Kuai Liangcai stepped down respectfully. It was just Kuai Liang''s heart, but he felt extremely confused. Liu Xiu returned to Luoyang from the front line and asked him to look for a ten mu land alone. It was really amazing, and he didn''t understand.


    Kuai Liang didn''t want to think about it, so he arranged for the people below to look for it immediately for Liu Xiu to use. After the arrangement, Kuai Liang invited Jia Xu, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others from the cabinet to the government office for discussion.


    The crowd gathered.


    All eyes fell on Kuai Liang.


    They also got the news that Liu Xiu had come back from the front line.


    Kuai Liang glanced at the crowd and said, "when your majesty comes back, I just want you to find a flat area with ten mu of land. For others, there is no arrangement. As for the details, your majesty has no arrangement, and I don''t know what your majesty is going to do? "


    Zhang Zhao said, "Your Majesty wants to use ten mu of land. Is it something to plant?"


    Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "the biggest possibility is really to plant something."


    Others, too, agreed.


    But after deliberation, they did not come up with a clue.


    People can only wait.


    In the end, it didn''t take a day, just half a day, to find an open space in the western suburb of Luoyang City. Moreover, all the ten mu land in this area has just been developed and has not been cultivated. The land is fertile and good.


    Because it was already evening, Kuai Liang did not report.


    The next day, early in the morning.


    Kuai Liang came to the palace early. After being informed by the soldiers, he met Liu Xiu in the palace.


    Kuai Liang said, "Your Majesty, ten acres of good land are ready."


    "Good!"


    With a smile, Liu Xiu said, "if you call the officials of the cabinet and the six ministries, you don''t have to inform the rest. Take these people and let''s go to Liangtian


    "Here it is


    Kuai Liang turns around and goes down to arrange.


    Liu Xiu sat alone in the hall, thought about it, and sent someone to inform Deng Zhan, let Deng Zhan also go.


    Half an hour later, the crowd set out.


    They went to the west suburb of Luoyang.


    Besides Liu Xiu, Sha Moke and a few accompanying soldiers, the rest were the chief officials of the cabinet and six ministries including Kuai Liang, Jia Xu, Zhang Zhao and Sima Hui.


    Everyone felt strange and didn''t know what Liu Xiu was going to do.


    I have doubts in my heart, but I can only follow.


    After more than half an hour''s walking, all the talents came to the location of ten mu of fertile land.Kuai Liang took the initiative to introduce: "Your Majesty, the terrain of this area is flat, but there are forest areas everywhere, which is just reclaimed. Because it has just been reclaimed and missed spring ploughing, it has not been cultivated yet. "


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "here, again, will be the place to witness miracles."


    "Ah


    When Kuai Liang heard the speech, he couldn''t help exclaiming.


    Kuai Liang didn''t expect that, Liu Xiuhui said.


    The rest of the people also showed strange looks on their faces. They all know more or less, and even witness Liu Xiu''s miracles with their own eyes.


    Now when I hear Liu Xiu''s words, I feel very strange.


    Liu Xiu didn''t care about the people''s thoughts. He held out his hand and stood askew in the air. Then, in his mind, he called out the Warring States system, and meditated in his heart to receive rewards.


    "Three, two, one in the process of awarding!"


    With the sound of the system''s indifference, in an instant, a green sweet potato seedling suddenly appeared in the ten Mu cultivated land.


    Liu Xiuli in the hands of the air, but also more than a book. This book is an introduction to sweet potato technology. It introduces the habits, planting and harvesting of sweet potato, and introduces the details of sweet potato.


    Liu Xiu was not surprised, but Kuai Liang, Jia Xu, Zhang Zhao and others were all stunned.


    Everyone was stunned.


    Miracle!


    It''s a real miracle.


    Kuai Liang couldn''t think of how to describe it. He fell down on his knees and said, "Your Majesty is the son of heaven. Long live your majesty."


    "Plop! Plop... "


    Everyone knelt down one after another, all shouting long live.


    When they looked at Liu Xiu one by one, they all showed great respect.


    This is a time of gods and monsters. No matter how talented people are, they are in awe of God and the gods. Now Liu Xiu really shows his miracles, which makes everyone convinced, shocked and surprised.


    Zhuge Liang, in particular, felt even more incredible.


    Originally Zhuge Liang thought that the miracles of Xiangyang were created by Liu Xiu. Now, seeing Liu Xiu''s miracles with his own eyes, I can imagine his surprise.


    Liu Xiu looked at a piece of kneeling, listening to the cheers, his face also swept a smile, waved his hand and said: "OK, all up."


    When they heard the words, they got up.


    When they looked at Liu Xiu one by one, they were even more respectful.


    Liu Xiu took the introduction book in his hand, handed it to Kuai Liang, and said: "Kuai Qing, this book, like the introduction book of pumpkin, is also a book about how to plant and transplant sweet potatoes. You can follow it."


    "Yes, sir


    Kuai Liang answered excitedly, holding the book in both hands.

 Chapter 866

    Kuai Liang was very excited, and so were the officials around him.


    This flat farmland, which has just been reclaimed, is boundless and full of green sweet potato seedlings.


    This scene is gratifying.


    This miracle, so that all people are convinced.


    Kuai Liang looked through the introduction book. When he saw the final output of sweet potato, he could not help but exclaim: "Your Majesty, can there really be so much output of sweet potato? When one mu of sweet potato seedlings are planted and harvested, they can yield more than 7000 Jin per mu. Is it really so terrible? "


    WOW!!


    Everyone was very surprised.


    Seven or eight thousand catties of sweet potato are produced in one mu of land. How terrible is the yield!


    Jia Xu was also surprised at the moment. In his surprise, he pulled out two of his whiskers directly because of the excessive force of his hand pinching his whiskers, and showed his teeth in pain.


    He rubbed his jaw and said with pain, "Your Majesty, I have lived for decades and have never seen such crops. If we can achieve a yield of 7000 Jin per mu, it will be a blessing for the people, the country and the great Chu. The people under the rule of Chu will no longer suffer from hunger. "


    Liu Xiu laughs and affirms: "the sweet potato yield per mu is 7000 Jin, which is the lowest yield. If cultivated well, the yield per mu may be more. There will be more, not less. "


    It can''t be bad.


    The sweet potato seedlings in the Warring States system must be excellent seedlings.


    Zhang Zhao sighed: "God bless the great Chu!"


    At the moment, Zhang Zhao is also very emotional.


    Others, too, spoke.


    "There are many miracles in the state of Chu, all of which originated from his majesty. I believe that your majesty is the son of heaven, and only your majesty can understand the will of God. "


    "It''s time to look forward to the harvest."


    "If you think about it, one mu will produce seven or eight thousand catties of sweet potato. If you plant ten Mu and one hundred mu of sweet potato, you''ll be looking forward to it."


    "Looking at the lush seedlings of sweet potato, I feel comfortable all over and have a pleasant feeling."


    "It''s a wise decision for us to follow your majesty. His majesty ascended the throne and established the state of Chu. When he came to rule the country in the future, his majesty will surely create an unprecedented prosperous age. "


    One by one, they were talking and smiling.


    While they were talking, they all pushed in front of Kuai Liang, trying to see the manual in Kuai Liang''s hand. However, Kuai Liang is extremely treasure of put away, carefully hidden in the clothes, for fear that others robbed.


    Last time it was pumpkin seeds, this time it was sweet potato seedlings.


    These crops were given by God, and he personally handled them. When he thought about the harvest, Kuai Liang felt very excited.


    Liu Xiu looked at the ministers with a strong smile.


    After thinking about it, he looked at Kuai Liang and said, "Kuai Qing, according to the book of introduction, if all the ten Mu sweet potato seedlings are planted, they will need a lot of good land. Now it''s time to plant. You can arrange the planting. At the same time, before all sweet potato seedlings are planted, soldiers should be sent to protect them from being destroyed. "


    Kuai Liang patted his chest and said in a loud voice: "don''t worry, your majesty. I will arrange soldiers to patrol day and night. Don''t say it''s human, not even animal. Sweet potatoes are very important to the state of Chu. "


    Liu xiudao: "you understand good!"


    Liu Xiu looked at the other officials and asked them if they had anything else to report. Everyone expressed their opinions and talked about some recent events. Liu Xiu answered one by one, dealt with all the affairs, and dismissed the officials.


    Take Liu Zhan and others to the palace to practice.


    Liu Xiu was relieved to handle the sweet potato seedling properly.


    Back at the palace, Liu Xiu stayed with sun Shangxiang, Shi Xuan, Ma Yunlu and Huang Yueying for a day.


    When Liu Xiu returned to Luoyang, Liu Zhen also returned from the military camp.


    Today, Liu Zhen has grown taller and stronger. His skin is bronze. He no longer looks like a dandy. Instead, he is quite sensible.


    Every move, courtesy and courtesy.


    Every word and deed is well organized.


    Now Liu Zhang is just like a little adult.


    If Liu Xiu was an ordinary person, he would not have asked Liu Zhen to train so hard when he was young. He would have enjoyed his childhood.


    However, Liu Xiu''s identity is different.


    Liu Xiu was the emperor of Chu, and Liu Zhen was the eldest son.


    Liu Zhen''s identity and status doomed him not to play like other children. Liu Zhen must shoulder the responsibility, because Liu Zhen is Liu Xiu''s eldest son, which is a problem we must face. Liu Xiu chatted with Liu Zhen and asked about Liu Zhen''s studies.


    In the palace, Liu Xiu had a two-day rest.


    On the third day, Liu Xiu left.


    Liu Xiu left Luoyang again and went to the front line.


    Today''s Chu camp has already moved to Chenliu county. If Wen pin doesn''t move, he will be ready. If he moves, he will be like thunder. After he spread the news that Zhang Liao and Xun you had been captured, he made a strong move to sweep the Wei army in Chenliu county.In a short time, wenpin captured the whole Chenliu county.


    Then, wenpin was steady, and his camp was set up in Chenliu county.


    Liu Xiu went straight to Chenliu county.


    Arriving at the barracks, Liu Xiu called wenpin. After asking about the fighting, he didn''t ask. The affairs of the barracks are still handled by the secretary. Wenpin did a good job. Liu Xiu didn''t want to interfere. He just wanted the result.


    The day after Liu Xiugang arrived, Xun you and Zhang Liao were sent.


    Two people were escorted to Chenliu County, dusty, tired.


    When Liu Xiu got the news of their arrival, he did not receive them immediately. Instead, he arranged for people to prepare hot water and clothes for them to wash.


    Then, Xunyou and Zhang Liao were summoned to the Chinese Army''s big account.


    In the big account.


    Liu Xiu looked at the two after washing, with a smile on his face, and said slowly: "Gongda and Wenyuan, we meet again soon after. In the past, in Xiangyang, you didn''t want to surrender, and finally returned to the command of Cao Cao and worked for him. Now that you are caught again, are you willing to submit to me and serve me? "


    Xun you shook his head and said firmly: "the emperor of Chu, I will not betray your majesty because of your grace. If the emperor of Chu wants to kill him, I''ll kill him. "


    Liu Xiu sighed: "Gongda, why do you need it?"


    Xun you said, "I have made up my mind."


    Liu Xiu shook his head, looked at Zhang Liao and said, "Wenyuan, what about you?"


    Zhang Liao answered firmly: "I am as loyal to your majesty as Xun Junshi. I''m afraid it''s in vain for the emperor of Chu to make us surrender. If we don''t surrender, the emperor of Chu will be impatient sooner or later, and will eventually kill us. Even so, why didn''t the emperor of Chu start earlier? "


    Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "talent is rare. I won''t kill you. You are dying. Brother mengde is so lucky that you are willing to die for him, but you are not willing to submit to me. "


    Zhang Liao was silent.


    From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Liao did not resent Liu Xiu.


    When he was in Jingzhou in the past, he and Xun you, as prisoners, would rather die than surrender. Liu Xiu didn''t kill them and gave them excellent treatment. Now they are captured again, Liu Xiu is still like this, and he speaks with a kind face.


    Zhang Liao was also quite moved by this attitude.


    But Cao Cao was also like this, and he was more grateful to Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao followed Cao Cao, and his talent was revealed, and then he was really valued.


    Therefore, Zhang Liao could not surrender.


    Liu Xiu looked at Xun you and Zhang Liao, carefully examined them, and sighed: "you are all so stubborn. It seems that I will do the same thing again. It''s going to take a little bit of effort to make you submit to me. "


    "What''s the old trick?"


    Xun you eyebrows pick, he has some doubts.


    With a smile in his mouth, Liu Xiu said: "in the past, I captured Lu su. Like you, he would rather die than surrender. He would rather die than be loyal to Sun Quan. I used some tricks to gain his loyalty. "

 Chapter 867

    Zhang Liao said in a deep voice, "what will the emperor of Chu do?"


    But Liu Xiu was not allowed to feel Liu Xiu''s gratitude. In particular, Liu Xiu said to use other methods, which made Zhang Liao''s heart even more bottomless.


    Xun you also looked at Liu Xiu.


    Last time, Liu Xiu caught them, but he treated them with courtesy and respect.


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "I''m too kind to you, so you think I can bully you. You think I''ll eat you. So this time, things are different. This time, I will declare to the public that you two are stubborn and will not surrender, and I will kill you. "


    "When Cao Cao gets the news, he will not miss you any more."


    "Then, I will start the next step."


    "My next step is to mobilize the people of the royal guards to bring out the families of you two in Yecheng and let them come to the state of Chu. When they disappear in Yecheng, what will Cao Cao think? "


    Liu Xiu sneered with a strong smile.


    Last time, he respected Zhang Liao and Xun you and did not take extreme measures. But Liu Xiu has no patience. In order to fight for them, Liu Xiu doesn''t care about the others.


    Liu Xiu didn''t care what they thought. When Liu Xiu exterminates Cao Cao, the state of Wei will no longer exist. Xun you and Zhang Liao will naturally change.


    After Zhang Liao stopped, he sneered: "mean!"


    Liu xiudao: "is that mean? Ha, it means that if I kill you, I won''t be mean. "


    Zhang Liao is dumb.


    He also knew that Liu Xiu''s practice, in fact, also valued them. Otherwise, Liu Xiu could not spare no effort to bring their families to the state of Chu, which was Liu Xiu''s good intention.


    Xun you said slowly: "emperor Chu, you can hide Sun Quan by this way, but you can''t hide your majesty. Your majesty is wise and intelligent. He will be able to see through it. "


    Liu Xiu said with a sneer: "if it''s someone else, Cao Cao can see through it. When it happens to him, it''s different. As soon as Cao Cao hears the news of your death in the Bureau, he is afraid that he will pass out. How can he make rational analysis? "


    Xun you said: "Your Majesty, there are Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and other wise people, these people in, enough to see through."


    Liu xiudao: "impossible!"


    "Why?"


    Xun you said. Xun you has no doubt about the abilities of Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others. He believes that they can see through Liu Xiu''s plan and prevent Liu Xiu from succeeding.


    With a smile in his mouth, Liu Xiu continued: "because my plan is not finished, I still have a plan to let Cao Cao believe."


    "I will choose two Wei soldiers who are similar to you in appearance, age and body shape. I will dress them up as you and kill you in front of everyone in the barracks. Then I will hang your head in the barracks to frighten all the prisoners."


    "When we fight again next time, I will send prisoners as pioneers to drive them to fight."


    "The soldiers of the state of Wei who knew that you had been killed would naturally pass on the news to Cao Cao. Moreover, I will vigorously publicize the news that you were killed. Naturally, there will be no solution to the proof. "


    "In this way, the news of your feign death will be true, and Cao Cao will not doubt it."


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of my plan? Cao Cao has determined that your death will inevitably weaken the protection of your family. Can I succeed in letting the royal guards take away your family members? "


    When Xun you heard the speech, he drew at the corner of his mouth and worried.


    It has to be said that Xun you are worried about Liu Xiu''s plan, because Liu Xiu''s plan is highly operational.


    Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "the emperor of Chu really has nothing to do with it!"


    Liu xiudao: "my plan is not finished."


    When Xun you and Zhang Liao listen to this, they all stare. How can this not be finished? What''s the plan? Two people''s heart, for a time also some nervous up, really afraid Liu Xiu have nothing to use.


    This man is not afraid of death. On the contrary, he is better afraid of life than death.


    Liu Xiu made a lot of trouble. In the end, they were in the state of Wei. I''m afraid they would lose their reputation and be criticized.


    Liu Xiu continued: "when your family is rescued, I will spread the news that you have already joined me. The reason why we do not publish it is to bring your family back safely. If you think about it, what will Cao Cao think when he gets the news? "


    "You are shameless!"


    Xun you said in a deep voice.


    Zhang Liao was also black and angry.


    But Liu Xiu didn''t think so. He continued: "you should feel honored. If it was someone else, I would not have the patience to kill him directly. Because of your talents, I have to make a lot of efforts. It''s also because after the state of Chu destroyed the state of Wei, a large number of talents were needed to govern the country. I think so for you. Otherwise, it''s impossible to give you such a chance. "


    Xun you heard the speech and sighed.


    In fact, it is true. Otherwise, Liu Xiu would never bother so much. He really valued them.


    Zhang Liao glared and Liu Xiu laughed at him.


    Finally, Zhang Liao''s helpless defeat was also a sigh.Liu Xiu also said, "are you willing to submit to me?"


    When Xun you and Zhang Liao looked at each other, they both hesitated.


    Liu Xiu continued: "now, Yingchuan is captured by me, Chen Liu is captured by me, and even Xuzhou is about to be under my control. Cao Cao has been defeated all over the country. It''s time for you to make a choice. "


    Xun you clenched his teeth and said in a deep voice, "I''m willing to surrender!"


    Seeing this, Zhang Liao said, "I''m willing to surrender."


    "Good!"


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "you two will have a rest in the camp for the time being. Next, I will arrange someone to send you back to Luoyang. Then, arrange your affairs in Luoyang. Your family will also come to Luoyang. All plans will be carried out according to the facts. "


    Zhang Liao and Xun you nodded.


    Liu xiudao: "you have worked hard too. Go down and have a rest."


    Immediately, Liu Xiu called for his servant to take Zhang Liao and Xun you down to have a rest.


    In the tent.


    Liu Xiu sat alone with a smile on his face.


    Because he believed that Zhang Liao and Xun you went back to Luoyang and saw everything about Luoyang, especially the miracles of Luoyang, which would gradually affect Xun you and Zhang Liao and make them serve the state of Chu.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of footwork came from outside the camp.


    The tent curtain rolled up and wenpin strode in.


    "Your majesty


    Wenpin saluted with his fist.


    Liu xiudao: "sit down!"


    Wen pin lifted his robe and sat down, saying: "Your Majesty, now he is fighting with Cao Cao. At last, he suggested to attack Cao Cao with all his strength. Next, you can do that. "


    Immediately, wenpin put forward the attack plan.


    After hearing this, Liu Xiu said with a straight face, "you have done a good job in the war. Just let it go and I will give you my full support. If it''s unnecessary, I won''t interfere! "


    Wenpin said: "thank you, your majesty!"


    At the moment, wenpin is also excited.


    When Liu Xiu is in the army, it will affect his decision-making. As a result, wenpin was able to ask Liu Xiu for advice. Now that Liu Xiu has delegated power, he has the opportunity to deal with it without any constraints.

 Chapter 868

    When wenpin and Zhao Yun led the army to capture the territory of Wei, the time quietly entered June.


    In the summer of June, the south is getting hotter and hotter.


    Especially on the east coast, it''s not only hot, but also damp. But outside Guangling County, there are piles of corpses. These corpses were covered with blood, with ferocious appearance and fierce look on their faces.


    These bodies were left after the fighting.


    Nowadays, the weather is very hot and the body will stink in the sun. After the body stinks, it''s easy to become an epidemic, and then spread in the army.


    As a result, Yu Jin resisted Huang Zhong''s attack. After the war ended, he would send soldiers to clean the battlefield outside the city and burn all the corpses to avoid the stench of corpses and affecting Guangling county.


    Yu Jin stood on the upper floor of the county, with a heavy look of fatigue on his face.


    During this period, he worked very hard.


    During the frequent wars in the north, Guangling county also had constant wars.


    Huang Zhong led the army of the state of Chu to cross the river to attack Guangling county. Although Yu Jin had a water army under his command, the water army under his command was not the rival of Lu Xun''s navy.


    When Lu Xun sent soldiers to patrol the Yangtze River, Yujin had no chance to cross the river, so he could only stay in Guangling county. Just like this, Yu Jin has always taken a defensive attitude.


    Huang Zhong was different. With the help of Lu Xun''s navy, Huang Zhong easily crossed the Yangtze River, entered Guangling County, and then went straight to Guangling county.


    When Huang Zhong was killed, at the beginning, Yu Jin sent two troops to stop him in the south of Guangling county.


    However, Huang Zhong''s soldiers are unmatched.


    Under the strong attack of Chu soldiers, all the soldiers sent by Yu Jin were defeated, and they could not resist the attack of Chu soldiers under Huang Zhong.


    It''s not that Yu Jin didn''t want to lead the army to fight against Huang Zhong.


    However, Yu Jin was always cautious and unwilling to send troops.


    Moreover, Yu Jin was stationed in Guangling county. He had only one army under his command and could not make any mistakes. Huang Zhong''s army is powerful. If Yu Jin can''t fight against Huang Zhong, he may be sniped or even defeated by Huang Zhong.


    I would rather be conservative than radical.


    In particular, Yu Jin thought about the lessons of Zhang Liao and Xun you, and was more reluctant to take the initiative to attack, preferring to stay in Guangling county.


    Guangling county is the seat of Guangling county and the gateway to the south of Xuzhou.


    As long as Guangling county is in the hands of ban, Huang Zhong can''t bypass Guangling county and attack Xuzhou. He must seize Guangling County before he can go north. As long as Yu Jin guards Guangling County, the war is beneficial to the state of Wei.


    Especially in Guangling County, Yujin constantly strengthened the city walls, dug deep moats and strengthened defense. Under such circumstances, Guangling County, under the control of the ban, is extremely strong and can not be easily broken.


    Huang Zhong led the soldiers to attack Guangling County, fighting and attacking continuously. However, the garrison in Guangling county was so rigid that Huang Zhong could not get any benefits.


    After all, Yu Jin is well prepared.


    In Guangling County, there is sufficient food, equipment and soldiers. As long as Guangling county is not broken down, there will be military supplies and equipment that have been banned for half a year.


    As long as the city is not broken, Yujin will be able to guard it all the time.


    Yu Jin stood on the tower, waiting quietly.


    "Step on it! Step on


    A sound of footwork came from the side.


    A scribe came up and stood beside Jin. The middle-aged scholar named Zhu Wen was in his early 40s. He was Yu Jin''s staff.


    Zhu Wen saluted and said: "general, the losses of today''s war have been counted out. We have killed 268 soldiers today, seriously injured 354 people, regardless of minor injuries. "


    "According to the corpses outside, the number of Chu soldiers killed in the war is at least 600, more seriously injured, and I''m afraid there are countless minor injuries."


    "Up to now, Huang Zhong has not made a breakthrough in his successive sieges. If he were an ordinary person, he would have stopped attacking for a long time. But Huang Zhong, a veteran, attacks every day and perseveres. This strength is also awe inspiring. "


    Zhu Wen sighed.


    Defense has been, although the city is not broken, but a lot of pressure.


    Yu Jin snorted and said in a deep voice, "what can Huang Zhong do if he insists all the time? If he wants to attack Guangling County, it''s impossible to win. The city of Guangling county is solid and the city wall is thick. No matter how Huang Zhong attacks, he will not win. "


    Zhu Wen nodded and said, "the general is right. Fortunately, he has made enough preparations. Otherwise, I''m afraid Guangling county can''t hold on for such a long time. "


    Yu Jin said in a deep voice: "but be careful. Send more soldiers to patrol and strengthen defense."


    "Here it is


    Zhu Wen nodded.


    As soon as the words changed, Zhu Wen clenched his teeth and said in a deep voice, "general, Huang Zhong has been actively attacking. We haven''t been attacking all the time, we''ve been defending all the time"In Huang Zhong''s mind, we must have preconceived that we dare not attack."


    "I think Huang Zhong''s defense can''t be strict."


    "Do you think we can send troops to attack Huang Zhong after dark?"


    Zhu Wen''s eyes twinkled with brilliance, and said: "I''ve always taken the defensive strategy. Although I blocked Huang Zhong''s attack, the soldiers are holding their breath and feel uncomfortable. It''s not so good to go on like this. "


    Zhu Wen is also worried about the current situation.


    Long guard will lose!


    In a war, if we always adopt the defensive strategy, it will be a huge blow to the defensive side. Under such circumstances, taking effective counter offensive measures can boost morale.


    After Yu Jin listened, he shook his head.


    Zhu Wenmei frowned and asked, "general, we have enough troops. Why don''t we have a try?"


    Yu Jin explained: "sometimes, it''s just your mentality that leads to the final failure. We do one thing, remember to give up halfway, change strategy at any time. When we fight with Huang Zhong, although we are taking defensive tactics, it is also good for us


    "Although he can''t defeat Huang Zhong, he can''t succeed in public."


    "We are in control of the situation, not at a disadvantage. Huang Zhong is unlikely to win, at least for a short time. That is to say, we don''t have the slightest defeat at the moment. "


    "If we don''t act, Huang Zhong won''t find our flaws."


    "As soon as we take action, there will be flaws. Huang Zhong can find our flaws according to our changes. For example, if you attack according to your plan, Huang Zhong may get the chance to attack us. "


    Yu Jin stared at the outside of the city, his eyes were solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "do nothing and do nothing, do not fight is fight. We do nothing, we do everything. If we take the initiative to change, maybe we can''t even keep our current advantage. "


    Zhu Wen opened his mouth to refute.


    To the mouth of the words, and finally swallow back. He understands Yu Jin''s worries and thoughts. It is enough for him to be stationed in Guangling county and block Huang Zhong.


    Once adjustments are made, they may even face failure.


    That''s the way to keep success.


    Yu Jin took a look at Zhu Wen and continued: "Zhu Wen, there is one more important point. Although we have the elite under our command, we have enough food and equipment. But most of the elite soldiers of Wei Kingdom fought Liu Xiu in the north. On our side, we don''t have much supply and our strength is relatively weak. We can''t act rashly. "


    Zhu Wen sighed: "I understand my humble position!"


    Yu Jin waved and said, "go!"


    "Here it is


    Zhu Wen nodded, then turned back.


    Yu Jin stood at the head of the city, looking out at the setting sun. Although he looked firm, there was still a touch of worry in his eyes. He does not know what will happen in the end.


    We can only go one step at a time.

 Chapter 869

    Five miles outside Guangling City, this is an open area.


    Here, the army under Huang Zhong is stationed. During this period of time, Huang Zhong has been attacking Guangling city. Continuous attacks have caused considerable casualties among Huang Zhong''s soldiers.


    The setting sun is over and the sky is red.


    Wearing a single garment, Huang Zhong made a tour of the wounded camp to appease the wounded soldiers.


    After leaving, Huang Zhong arranged the defense again.


    The defense in the barracks can''t be relaxed at any time. Huang Zhong camped and attached great importance to defense. After arranging everything, Huang Zhong went back to the big account to have a rest. As soon as he got back to the camp, Ma Liang came in.


    With a smile on his face, Ma Liang strode forward.


    When Huang Zhong saw this, he raised his eyebrows.


    Ma Liang came just in time. He was going to discuss business with Ma Liang.


    Huang Zhong stroked his white beard under his jaw and said with a straight face, "military strategist, it''s been ten days. Our soldiers will not be able to bear such a strong attack. Especially in recent days, more and more people have been killed and injured every day. Although we have a large number of troops and can fight a war of attrition with Yu ban, we can''t afford such a fight. Soldiers'' lives can no longer be consumed so willfully. Otherwise, in the end, our morale will be damaged. "


    The soldiers under his command are all trained by Huang Zhong.


    Huang Zhong has been reluctant to attack Guangling County in succession. But this is Ma Liang''s plan, in order to capture Guangling county at one stroke. Huang Zhong has been gritting his teeth to order a strong attack on Guangling county.


    Ma Liang lifted up his robe and sat down. With a smile, he said, "don''t worry, general. From today on, we don''t have to attack Guangling County any more."


    "Oh, really? That''s great. "


    Huang Zhong was overjoyed, with a touch of relief on his face.


    Continuous attack, Huang Zhong bear a huge pressure. Huang Zhong always wanted to defeat Yu Jin''s army and win, but his brutal attack had no effect at all.


    Therefore, Huang Zhong is not willing to continue.


    Huang Zhong rubbed his hands and couldn''t wait to ask, "what''s the good news?"


    "There are two good news," Ma said


    Huang Zhong said: "one is two. It''s a double happiness. Come on, what''s the good news? "


    At the moment, Huang Zhong can''t wait to get up.


    Ma Liang replied, "the first piece of good news is the war report from the north."


    "Zhao Yun led his troops from Xiangyang to Nanyang County, joined forces with Wei Yan and Zhang Ren, and then united with the taishici army of Jiangxia to defeat Zhang Liao''s headquarters in Yingchuan county."


    "The first World War completely captured Zhang Liao and Xun you."


    "Today, taishici is attacking Yuzhou, while Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren are leading the army to Yingchuan county."


    "After the victory of Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren, general wenpin also led his army to defeat Cao Cao''s army at one stroke, making Cao Cao have to retreat with the army."


    Ma Liang said: "at present, wenpin is going to kill Chenliu county and capture the whole Chenliu county."


    Huang Zhong smiles, but immediately he looks down.


    The victory of Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun is a good thing, which is beneficial to the state of Chu.


    Wen pin''s success is also a good thing.


    It is also a good thing that taishici attacked Yuzhou.


    However, Huang Zhong''s heart is somewhat lost. All the armies have won, but the army led by him has not achieved decent results to this day.


    Huang Zhong''s heart is quite lost.


    Ma Liang and Huang Zhong have been together for many years. When he saw Huang Zhong''s expression, he understood it.


    He smiles.


    Although Huang Zhong is old, he does not admit defeat.


    Ma Liang comforted him: "General Huang, we are located in Yangzhou. It''s the latest to get your Majesty''s order. It''s reasonable that we haven''t won yet. Soon, our army will gain something. As for the victory of Zhao Yun and Wen pin, they took the first step and we will catch up soon. "


    "Well!"


    Huang Zhong nodded.


    Huang Zhong changed his words and asked, "what''s the second news?"


    Ma Liang said: "the second news is closely related to us. The Navy led by Lu Xun sailed northward from the sea and entered Haixi county from the Huaihe River to the north of Guangling county. At present, Lu Xun is attacking Haixi county. With Lu Xun''s troops, we can easily capture Haixi county and cut off the road conditions behind Guangling county. "


    Huang Zhong''s fighting spirit suddenly soared, and he said: "good, good! The troops of Guangling county are all concentrated in Guangling County, and they are all concentrated in the hands of Jin. Although Haixi county has a certain number of troops stationed, but a small county can not stop Lu Xun''s attack. "


    Ma Liang said: "so now, it''s time for us to carry out the second step plan and cover for Lu Xun."


    Huang Zhong stroked his beard and nodded his head: "originally, from tomorrow on, we will send troops to fight against each other to attract Yu Jin''s attention. Tonight, we will send another army to kill in Hailing county northeast of Guangling county to attract Yu Jin''s attention. As long as Yu Jin''s attention is focused on Guangling county and hailing County, Lu Xun''s operation in the north will be even safer. ""Well!"


    Ma Liang nodded and looked forward to it.


    That night, Huang Zhong dispatched troops and arranged for an army to leave the camp and quietly go to the direction of Hailing county. When Huang Zhong arrived outside Guangling County, Yu Jin arranged spies to inquire about the news near Huang Zhong''s camp.


    Huang Zhong''s troops, especially the spies who pretended to be hiding, didn''t hide the news from Yu Jin, so the spies arranged by Yu Jin soon found out the news. These spies quickly returned to Guangling county.


    After arriving at the lower floor of the city and giving a secret sign, the Scout ascended the tower and came to the room where Yu Jin had a rest.


    The spies saluted and reported: "general, Huang Zhong sent an army to kill in the direction of Hailing county this night. The number of this army is about 5000. It seems that Huang Zhong wants to attack Hailing county. "


    After hearing this, Yu Jin sneered and said, "Huang Zhong is doing useless work. You stare at Huang Zhong''s camp."


    "Here it is


    The sentinel reported the news and left the room.


    Yu Jin had a thoughtful look on his face.


    He stationed in Guangling County, but not only strengthened the defense of Guangling county. In the neighboring counties of Guangling County, Yujin also arranged soldiers to defend, because it was easy to be isolated because it was only stationed in Guangling county.


    Therefore, hailing County in the northeast of Guangling county and Gaoyou County in the north have soldiers stationed under the ban.


    The three counties form horns with each other to ensure the safety of Guangling county.


    Huang Zhong sent soldiers to attack Hailing County, and Yu Jin was not worried.


    Yu Jin lay down to have a rest and slept until the next morning.


    Summer weather, early dawn, emitting heat of the sun, early hanging high in the sky.


    "Dong! Dong! "


    The drums of war suddenly sounded outside the city. With the continuous sound of drums, Huang Zhong led the army and once again killed outside Guangling county.


    Yu Jin stood on the tower, staring out of the city.


    He is ready to defend and is not afraid of Huang Zhong''s attack. When he ordered the soldiers to be on guard, he saw a group of soldiers coming out of the Chu army outside the city.


    There are only ten soldiers in this group.


    They came to the city building in Guangling County, lifted their pants and peed.


    This scene shocked countless people.


    However, the soldiers stationed in Guangling county were extremely angry because it was a provocation to them. After that, the soldiers stood outside the city and broke their pants.


    Soldiers swear as vicious as they are.


    Everyone was abusive.


    Rao is in peace of mind, listening to the Chu soldiers outside the city curse, or can''t help but look angry. He knew that this was Huang Zhong''s provocation, but he could not help clenching his fist and peeping fire in his eyes. In the face of the abuse of Chu soldiers, he couldn''t keep his heart still, because they were so bad.


    "Archer!"


    Yu ordered.


    Brush! Brush!!


    The archers stood up, bent their bows and took their arrows, aiming at the abusive Chu soldiers outside the city.

 Chapter 870

    Yu Jin, with a black face, said, "shoot the arrow!"


    In a flash, I heard waves of bowstring vibration. The dense bows and arrows, like a rain of arrows, passed a trace in the air, and then shot at the soldiers of the state of Chu outside the city.


    The soldiers of the state of Chu, who were abusing, were so scared that they turned around and ran away when they saw a lot of bows and arrows coming. All the people in the crowd rushed back. All the soldiers returned to the front of the army.


    "A bunch of rats!"


    Yu Jin looked disdainful and contemptuous.


    After the soldiers of Chu retreated, Yu Jin waved his hand and saw the archers hiding.


    Yu Jin stood on the wall with both hands, stared at the outside of the city, raised his voice, and said in a loud voice: "Mr. Huang Zhong, you have been unable to attack for a long time, so you have to send some dirty and shameless soldiers to abuse the general? If you want to motivate, you will be out of town. "


    After a pause, Yu Jin said: "Ben will tell you that you are wishful thinking. As long as you will be in Guangling County for one day, you will not be able to win and you will not be able to take a step forward. "


    Strong words come from the mouth.


    It''s a provocation.


    Yu Jin wanted to test Huang Zhong''s posture, so he began to stimulate Huang Zhong.


    Huang Zhong listened to Yu Jin''s words with an angry look in his eyes. When he heard Yu Jin''s arrogant words, he almost couldn''t help rushing up to fight. Then he fought with Yu Jin for 300 rounds to let him know his strength.


    Huang Zhong, however, is worthy of being a general in the army and knows the importance.


    He is now forcibly attacking Guangling County in vain, which will increase the damage of his soldiers.


    Now, anger can only be contained for a while.


    Huang Zhong stroked his white beard under his jaw and replied, "you are a cowardly rat. If it were you, you would not have the face to live in the world. You would have dug a hole to bury yourself so as not to be disgraced. According to this general, you are not the general of the state of Wei, but a turtle with a shrunken head. Although I''m old enough to fight, I''m still young. How dare you fight with me? "


    Yu ban urged Huang Zhong, and vice versa, hoping that Yu ban would take the initiative to leave the city. As long as Yu Jin takes his soldiers out of the city, Huang Zhong has a chance to win.


    However, Yu Jin was immovable.


    Although Yu Jin''s anger rose in his heart, he was very calm and roared: "Huang Zhong, those who have the courage will continue to attack the city. If Ben is afraid of you, he is a coward. "


    Huang Zhong scolded: "have guts, you go out of the city and will fight?"


    Two people, you come and I go, constantly scold and fight.


    Yu Jin didn''t want to go out to fight, so he asked Huang Zhong to attack. Huang Zhong was not willing to take the initiative to attack Guangling County, so he asked Yu Jin to lead his troops out of the city to fight.


    The two people continued to curse, and at noon, they didn''t separate the ugly Yin Mao.


    On the contrary, Huang Zhonghe and Yu Jin are both thirsty.


    Now it''s summer, and at noon, the sun is so hot.


    Huang Zhong has been basking in the sun all the time. For a while, he can''t bear it. As soon as he turned his eyes and gave orders, he simply lay down on the official road outside the city.


    The accompanying soldiers also lay down to rest.


    This scene falls into Yu Jin''s eyes on the tower. Yu Jin''s eyes narrowed with a look of thinking.


    Before Yu Jin spoke, his generals could not help it.


    A small school rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "general, at noon, Huang Zhong is wilting, and so are his soldiers. At this time, if we go out of the city to attack Huang Zhong, we will surely win and defeat Huang Zhong. General, the last general is willing to be the vanguard and kill Huang Zhong. "


    "No!"


    Zhu Wen stopped him.


    Although in Zhu Wen''s heart, he also wanted to go out to fight and boost his morale. Even in Zhu Wen''s heart, he wanted to defeat Huang Zhong and sweep away the decadent atmosphere.


    But in the current situation, Zhu Wen does not agree to go to war.


    Zhu Wen said solemnly with a solemn expression: "general, although Huang Zhong is old, he is also quite old and spicy. I''m afraid there are some arrangements for a strong man to attack the city suddenly to fight outside the city, and then set up such a battle. If we go out of the city to attack Huang Zhong, it may be right for him. On the contrary, it''s not good for us, so we are against him. "


    Yu Jin nodded slightly, with a look of appreciation, and said: "Huang Zhong''s move, which he thought was a trap, was intended to lure us to take the bait. If it were someone else, it might have been a trick, but it would not have been. Ben would rather not defeat Huang Zhong than give him a chance to take advantage of it. "


    The school heard the words and stopped talking.


    The rest of the generals, without any further persuasion, patrolled the city.


    Outside the city, Huang Zhong lies on the ground to rest. The remaining light of Huang Zhong''s eyes, however, is also looking at the movement of the city upstairs. The soldiers he brought gave up the array and lay on the ground one by one.


    However, Yu Jin on the tower was not moved, which really disappointed Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong lay down and rested for two quarters of an hour. Finally he was disappointed. He just stood up.


    Walking to the front of the battle, looking at Yu Jin on the upper floor of the city, Huang Zhong roared: "Yu Jin dog thief, are you a bastard? I would rather hide in the turtle shell of Guangling County than go out to fight. You''re a shame. You''re a manYu Jin snorted and said, "Huang Zhong, you have the ability to attack."


    It''s quite comfortable for Yu Jin to let Huang Zhong suffer.


    Huang Zhong looked at the towering wall of Guangling county and sighed. He knew that Lu Xun was carrying out his plan. He could wait for the news of Lu Xun''s victory to come back. At that time, he could defeat Yu Jin by threatening his victory.


    But Huang Zhong''s heart, or hope to win, rather than wait until Lu Xun''s news. However, he would rather stay in the tortoise shell than come out. Huang Zhong is helpless.


    "Withdraw!"


    Huang Zhong ordered a retreat.


    The army retreated in a mighty way, and on the upper floor of the city, Yu Jin laughed when he saw this scene. Huang Zhong doesn''t attack by force. Obviously, Huang Zhong''s loss is so great that Huang Zhong can''t afford to attack by force. Therefore, Huang Zhong would scold and divide his troops to attack Hailing county.


    Yu Jin is not worried. Hailing county can protect itself.


    Huang Zhong returned to the camp and arranged for the soldiers to be stationed, so he sat in the camp to deal with military affairs.


    Time goes by.


    As soon as we enter the end of June, the more we go back, the more the sun shines. However, Huang Zhong is still going to fight incessantly, but no matter how much he scolds, Yu Jin will not leave the city.


    Huang Zhong doesn''t attack either. He just scolds.


    On this day, Huang Zhong scolded and fought, but still failed to make Yu ban fight. He came back disappointed with the soldiers, settled the soldiers, and went straight to the tent to sit down.


    It was hot. Huang Zhong took a few mouthfuls of cold water to get his voice better.


    "Step on it! Step on


    A sound of footwork came from outside the camp.


    The tent curtain was lifted, and Ma Liang came in with a smile on his face. Ma Liang looked excited and said with great joy: "general, great joy, Haixi county has won. General Lu Xun led the troops to attack Haixi county. Now he has captured Haixi county and is attacking other counties. "


    "Good!"


    Huang Zhong was very happy and his face was full of smiles.


    After waiting so long, he finally arrived.


    Yu Jin has been shrinking in Guangling county. He thinks that there is enough food and grass and that the city of Guangling county is strong. Now Lu Xun has captured Haixi County, and the passage to the north of Guangling county has been cut off, which is extremely unfavorable for the ban.


    With this news, Huang Zhong can deal with Yu ban.


    Huang Zhong looked at Ma Liang and said, "military strategist, we have won now. How can we use this news to make the war in Haixi county a sharp weapon for us to defeat Guangling county?"


    With a smile on his face, Ma Liang said, "general, Haixi county is in our hands. It is extremely unfavorable for the ban. It is estimated that Yu Jin will get news soon. Next we do this £¬¡­¡­¡±


    Immediately, Ma Liang said the next arrangement.


    After hearing this, Huang Zhong made a careful analysis, stroked his beard under his jaw, and laughed: "wonderful, wonderful! The military strategist''s plan is bound to be in a dilemma and will fall into the trap. That''s it. "


    They discussed and worked out a detailed plan for the next World War.

 Chapter 871

    At night, Guangling county is quiet, except for the footstep of soldiers, only the sound of insects and birds.


    On the tower, after the night patrol, he went back to his room to have a rest. Garrison Guangling County, Yu ban is well prepared. In Guangling County, soldiers were stationed at the four towers to prevent Huang Zhong from attacking at night.


    Every night, Yu Jin makes an inspection tour. Just like this, the ban can make the soldiers alert and not relax.


    Into the second half of the night, the soldiers rest early.


    "Dong! Dong! "


    The mighty battle drum sounds suddenly from the south gate.


    The sound together, as if a bolt from the blue general, shocking. In a flash, all the soldiers of the state of Wei on the East Gate Tower clenched their spears one by one and were on guard.


    When the soldiers of Wei kingdom in other schools heard the battle drums, they were also on guard for fear that their place would be attacked.


    Yu Jin had already rested. When he heard the sound of war drums, he suddenly woke up.


    He sleeps at night in his own clothes.


    In this way, once there is a war, we can deal with it immediately. Yu Jin, a carp, straightened out, turned over, quickly put on his armor, carried his sword, and rushed out of the room.


    Coming to the tower, Yu Jin looked around and asked aloud, "what''s the matter?"


    The patrol captain reported: "general, there are war drums outside the city, but there are only war drums. No soldiers from Chu state come to attack."


    Yu Jin nodded and said, "watch out!"


    "Here it is


    When the captain got the order, he went down to make arrangements.


    Yu Jin''s eyes narrowed and carefully looked at the dark outside the city. He and Huang Zhong have been confronting each other for such a long time. Today is the first night attack.


    This is something that has never happened before.


    "Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong, it seems that you are already poor. After repeated attacks, we couldn''t find a way to break the city, so we scolded during the day and sent people to harass at night. Ha ha, it''s really disappointing. "


    Yu Jin said with a smile.


    According to Yu Jin, Huang Zhong''s tactics made it difficult for his soldiers to have a good rest.


    The plan of harassing is not enough for fear.


    "Dong! Dong! "


    The sound of war drums continued to ring, and it was outside the gate of Sifang city in Guangling county. All the soldiers under Yu Jin''s command were awakened, and they were all ready to fight.


    It''s just dark outside the city. I can''t hear any shouting.


    Yu Jin preached: "come on!"


    A messenger came and stood respectfully.


    Yu Jin ordered: "pass on the orders and tell the soldiers who have rested to ignore the drums outside the city. If there is no order to go to war, they all rest. The soldiers who patrol the city tower will continue to patrol the night and must not relax. "


    "Here it is


    When the herald heard the news, he immediately ran around and yelled.


    The order was passed on and soon spread all over the country. All the soldiers of the state of Wei knew the news. They should patrol and have a rest. They didn''t pay attention to the war drums outside the city.


    For the soldiers of Wei who patrol the night, it has no influence. The criticism of their night patrol is that they are in charge of defense. If they don''t think there is anything, the drumming will continue.


    But for the soldiers who have rested, the war drum is not only a noise, but also a disturbance to their mood.


    Because, the evening is the time to recuperate.


    If you don''t sleep well, it will affect your spirit the next day.


    Most hateful of all, just as they were about to fall asleep, the drum was lifted up, and the soldiers were awakened when they heard the rapid battle drum. In addition, the soldiers were always worried that the county would be attacked. As a result, the soldiers lying in the barracks are always in a daze and can''t really sleep.


    The next morning, none of them had a good rest.


    The next morning, it was just dawn.


    One by one in the barracks, the soldiers of the state of Wei began to get up and wash, and then had breakfast. However, the faces of many soldiers were full of tiredness. Last night, the drums continued intermittently all night, and many soldiers didn''t have a good rest.


    Up to now, they are still very sleepy.


    "Dong! Dong! Dong


    All of a sudden, the sound of intensive war drums sounded.


    The drums of this battle, different from the sound of last night, were very urgent, as if there were endless soldiers attacking the city.


    Immediately after that, the battle drums were also heard in the city.


    The frequency of the drums in this battle is quite different from that outside the city. One by one, the soldiers of the state of Wei heard it clearly. They knew the rhythm of the drum. It was clearly the battle drum in the camp. It was gathering all the soldiers together.


    When the soldiers got the news, they put on their armor and weapons and ran to their respective garrison.


    At this time, on the city tower, Yu ban put on his armor.


    Yu Jin supported the wall with both hands and stared at the Chu soldiers outside the city.


    All night long, Yu Jin didn''t have a good rest.Now, the soldiers of the state of Chu finally came. Yu Jin looks gloomy. He stares at the Chu soldiers outside the city and sees Huang Zhong driving his horse out.


    With a smile on his face, Huang Zhong raised his breath and roared in a loud voice: "Yu Jin, you can hear Ben Jiang clearly."


    After hearing this, Yu Jin disdained to say, "Mr. Huang Zhong, you sent soldiers to harass outside the city all night. Now, do you want to attack the city? Even if you use tricks to harass, you will not be afraid of anything. "


    Huang Zhong said: "Yu ban mouse generation, this will not attack the city today, just use a special way to tell you a piece of news."


    "What''s the news?"


    Yu Jin asked.


    Huang Zhong didn''t answer. He raised his hand and waved it in the air.


    In a flash, we saw the archers coming out of the Chu soldiers outside the city. All the archers were bowing and aiming at the tower.


    "Shoot the arrow!"


    Huang Zhong waves an order.


    In a flash, all the archers let go.


    "Whew! Whew


    Bows and arrows broke through the air, whistling in the air, forming a rain of arrows. They went straight to the upper floors of the city, and some of them even shot into the city. One round after another, three rounds in a row, thousands of bows and arrows shot to the top of the city.


    Yu Jin is also avoiding, but his eyes show doubts.


    What''s Huang Zhong up to?


    Is that a special way?


    Suddenly, Yu Jin''s eyes fell on a bow and arrow. He saw a note tied to the shaft of the bow and arrow. Yu Jin quickly picked up a bow and arrow, took down the note and looked at it. His face suddenly changed. The content of the note is very simple, with only one sentence: Lu Xun captured Haixi county and cut off Guangling county.


    It was this sentence that seized Yu Jin''s lifeblood.


    Yu Jin turned to look at the soldiers around him. At this time, the soldiers stationed on the city floor began to talk, and the faces of the soldiers all had panic expressions.


    "What should we do? Haixi county was captured by duoluxun."


    "Lu Xun is very powerful. I remember when Xun you and Zhang Liao attacked Wu, Lu Xun captured Zhang Liao and Xun you alive."


    "Where is Haixi county?"


    "It''s really rubbish. Thanks to you being a soldier in Guangling County, you don''t even know the location of Haixi county. Guangling county is the southernmost County in Guangling County, while Haixi county is the northernmost county. Now Haixi county has been conquered, and we are faced with the enemy from both sides, and the way back is over. "


    "What shall we do?"


    The soldiers talked about it one after another.


    If the rear is not affected, it is under the control of the ban, and the soldiers will have the confidence.


    However, Yu Jin insisted on staying in Guangling county. Although Huang Zhong was not allowed to move forward, the morale of the army was lost because of his insistence. When the war is not affected, the impact is not great, but once the war is frustrated and the situation is unfavorable, the morale will suddenly drop sharply.


    Just as it is now.


    The loss of Haixi county made the morale of the army disordered.


    Seeing this scene, Yu Jin ordered: "summon, take all the bows and arrows. Those who violate the order will be killed!"


    The order was given, and the soldiers quickly collected the bows and arrows from the city tower. Although the bow and arrow were collected, Yu Jin was already worried.


    Huang Haizhong always attacked Guangling county and harassed Guangling county. But now, Yu Jin discovered that Huang Zhong and Lu Xun had attacked Haixi county.

 Chapter 872

    In fact, Yu Jin was quite nervous. He didn''t know what to do with the sudden development of the war.


    For the time being, he didn''t make any response. He just stared out of the city and said in a loud voice, "Huang Zhong, you can''t break Guangling County, so you cheat people with such despicable means? It''s a shame, Ben will tell you, Ben won''t fall into the trap. The soldiers under the general will not fall into the trap. "


    In fact, I believe this news from the bottom of my heart.


    However, in front of all the Wei soldiers, Yu Jin could not panic, he must stabilize the situation. Therefore, Yu Jin directly questioned Huang Zhong''s conspiracy to stabilize his turbulent morale.


    Huang Zhong laughed. He stroked his white beard under his jaw and said casually, "Yu Jin, you can say whatever you like. Think what you want. Ben will just send you an arrow to convey the message. Take your time. Ben will go first. "


    "Withdraw!"


    Huang Zhong withdrew directly.


    The soldiers of Chu Dang suddenly disappeared.


    This scene, make in forbid Leng next.


    The soldiers of the state of Wei on the tower were worried when they saw it. If Huang Zhong were to cheat, he would not withdraw so simply. But Huang Zhong retreated directly, which made the soldiers of the state of Wei feel suspicious and strange.


    The more confused they are, the more worried they are.


    Yu Jin saw this and frowned deeply.


    He ordered the soldiers to stay, went back to the room and invited Zhu Wen to the camp.


    Yu Jin looked at Zhu Wen and said in a deep voice, "Sir, what do you think of the news from Haixi county


    With a sigh in his heart, Zhu Wen said slowly: "in the general''s heart, isn''t there a judgment? General, I don''t think Huang Zhong''s news is fake, it''s true. "


    "I think about it. Recently, there has been no news from Lu Xun."


    "It seems that Lu Xun really went to Haixi county."


    "In particular, Huang Zhong retreated so simply, which was in line with their strategy. Haixi county is in Lu Xun''s hands, and our rear area is worrying. Huang Zhong just needs to wait for the news, which is enough to drag us down. "


    With a dignified look, Zhu Wen said, "as time goes on, Lu Xun will continue to invade our rear, but Guangling county has no surplus troops to resist, which will be more and more unfavorable to us."


    Yu Jin''s face was gloomy.


    As Zhu Wen analyzed, he also believed that the news that Haixi county was occupied by Lu Xun was true.


    Yu Ban said: "Sir, the situation is critical. What should I do? To get out of the current predicament. "


    Zhu Wen said: "general, I have three strategies: the upper, the middle and the lower. No, or three choices, not a stratagem, but a helpless choice. "


    "What are the three strategies?"


    Yu Jin immediately asked.


    Zhu Wen replied, "my best policy is to retreat and attack Luxun in Haixi county. As long as the general makes a concerted effort to wipe out Lu Xun''s army, we can withdraw from Guangling county and then stay in xiapi. With the help of xiapi''s fortifications, we can continue to resist Huang Zhong. "


    Yu Jin heard the speech and shook his head.


    Although Zhu Wen''s idea is good, it is not conducive to its realization.


    Yu Jin said: "Sir, it would be very good for us to attack Lu Xun. If we can destroy Lu Xun and then retreat to xiapi. But the question is, can we beat Lu Xun? If he fails to defeat Lu Xun and Huang Zhong brings his army to kill him, he will attack the general and we will be defeated at that time. "


    Zhu Wen said: "my best policy is to retreat directly to xiapi and give up Guangling county."


    After hearing this, Yu Jin shook his head and said, "it''s too much to give up Guangling county. I''m afraid your majesty won''t spare me if the news of leaving without fighting spreads to the rear. "


    When he refuted Zhu Wen, he was disappointed.


    When the war developed to the present, Yu Jin couldn''t help him, so he put his hope on Zhu Wen and hoped that Zhu Wen would come up with a perfect plan for him. However, Zhu Wen''s plan was not feasible.


    Zhu Wen looks the same. As he said just now, it seems like three strategies, but in fact it''s three choices.


    What he offered was only three options for reference.


    Zhu Wen continued: "general, the worst thing I can do is to attack directly. Haixi county has been broken down, and we are beset with enemies. Under such circumstances, as long as we defeat Huang Zhong first, we can turn our direction and then destroy Lu Xun who captured Haixi county. In this way, there will be no worry about the war in Guangling County, and the general will be famous all over the world. It''s just that there are great risks and difficulties in this strategy. "


    "Well It''s more than big. It''s obviously impossible. "


    After hearing this, Yu Jin could not help sighing.


    This is all bullshit advice.


    If Huang Zhong could be defeated, he would have sent troops long ago. Will he wait until now?


    As for the way of using troops, Yu Jin is also an expert, but his best skill is defense. In the fight, he is still lacking, not as good as the late Xia Houyuan and others.


    Most importantly, the soldiers under Yu Jin''s command were not the most elite of Wei.On the contrary, Huang Zhong''s elite, who have been trained by Huang Zhong for many years, have all experienced actual combat, and have grown up from the fighting between Jiangdong and Jingzhou in the past. They have strong fighting capacity and are fearless of death.


    How can he take the initiative to fight against such a strong brigade?


    If there are tigers and leopards under Xu Chu''s command, Yu Jin would dare to take the initiative to fight against Huang Zhong. But now, there is no real elite under his command, so he can''t fight with Huang Zhong head-on.


    Moreover, behind Huang Zhong is the Yangtze River.


    Huang Zhong''s back is close to the Yangtze River, and his belly is safe, because Yu Jin can''t cross the river, can''t attack Huang Zhong''s rear, and can''t defeat Huang Zhong from the side. Under such circumstances, we can''t attack the front or the rear of Huang Zhong, so that Yu Jin is tied up.


    It was impossible to attack, but Yu Jin was not willing to retreat.


    For a moment, Yu ban was in a dilemma.


    Yu Jin sighed and said helplessly: "now, it''s really a headache. The next battle is not easy to fight. "


    "Newspaper!"


    Suddenly, a soldier came running fast.


    The soldier reported: "general, there are spies from the north."


    Yu Jin raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Guangling county is surrounded by Huang Zhong. Even the official roads everywhere have been blocked. How can news be sent back? "


    The soldier replied, "the spies said that the soldiers of Chu had let go of the blockade and let them come."


    Yu Jin said, "bring people here."


    The soldiers went to give orders, and soon the spies came quickly.


    "What''s the news?" Yu asked


    The general replied, "four spies."


    Yu Jin raised his eyebrows and looked dignified. The news is fierce enough. First, there are four bad news. Yu Jin''s heart sank down and said, "speak up!"


    The Scout replied: "first, Haixi county is under attack. The counties adjacent to Haixi are also under attack by Lu Xun. Secondly, Zhang Liao and Xun you were captured again and Yingchuan county was lost; thirdly, the army led by his Majesty was defeated and had withdrawn from Chenliu County; fourthly, taishici was attacking Yuzhou and seizing the counties of Yuzhou. "


    "Hiss!"


    Yu can''t help but take a cold breath.


    That''s really bad news.


    The four bad news are all about the defeat of the state of Wei. Most importantly, Zhang Liao and Xun you, who were stationed in Yingchuan County, were once again captured and became prisoners of Chu. With the news from Yuzhou and Chenliu, Yu Jin sighed.


    Yu Jin said in a deep voice: "Ben will know. You can go down and have a rest."


    "Here it is


    The Scout turned and stepped back.


    Yu Jin looked at Zhu Wen and asked, "Sir, what should we do now?"


    Zhu Wen''s face was full of sadness and said bitterly: "general, the situation now is showing defeat. The situation of the state of Wei is not only the failure of one state and one county, but also the rout of the whole line. The state of Chu has fully occupied the advantage. "


    "Yes, I''m at a disadvantage."


    Yu Jin sighed.


    He thought about the situation all over the country, and then thought about his current situation, but also with a helpless look on his face. Yu Jin is not an indecisive person. After thinking for a moment, he has made a decision.


    Yu Jin said in a deep voice: "if we retreat directly, Huang Zhong will surely be killed. So we attack first and then retreat. Don''t worry about Haixi county. Now defense is the most important thing. Retreat to xiapi county and stick to Xuzhou. You go and send orders. Before evening, you will go out with ben to attack Huang Zhong. "


    Zhu Wen said: "here, I''ll arrange the humble position."


    Yu Jin nodded. In fact, he didn''t want to defeat Huang Zhong. On the one hand, his own strength is insufficient; on the other hand, his heart has lost its spirit.


    At present, the situation is unfavorable. He thought it would be good to keep Xuzhou.

 Chapter 873

    On a summer evening, the sun sets. The sky in the west is already full of sunset. The afterglow of the setting sun made the whole sky bright red, as if it were stained with blood.


    At this time, the hot sun disappears and the temperature is slightly softer.


    On the official road, it''s quiet.


    There is an official road outside Guangling, which is the only way to Chu camp. This is a slope. On the slope, you can overlook the road and the direction of Guangling city.


    Four sentinels, ambushed in the grass on the side of the slope.


    Near dark, the heat dissipated a lot. In a cool breeze, the four sentinels hiding in the grass were as cool as a bowl of cold water.


    The Sentinels are all spies under Huang Zhong''s command. They are here to carry out tasks.


    Headed by a school captain.


    "Captain Zhang, the military commander told us to wait here. If the army of the state of Wei is killed, go back and report the news immediately. But we''ve been waiting for most of the day, and the sun is almost setting. We haven''t even seen a shadow of ourselves. Do we have to wait? "


    One of the Sentinels lowered his voice, a little anxious.


    It''s too hot.


    It''s hard to stay in the grass all the time.


    Zhang Xiaowei is nearly forty years old. He is not tall, but also a little thin. But a pair of eyes, but flashing wisdom light. He is a veteran under Huang Zhong and has rich experience.


    Listening to the sentry''s words, Zhang Xiaowei was not anxious. He looked calm and said slowly, "can we question the orders given by the military division? Just carry it out. You''ve got too much nonsense. "


    Sentinel smell speech, chat up a smile.


    He wiped the sweat on his forehead behind him, but sighed again.


    Seeing this, Zhang Xiaowei continued: "if you don''t wait for the soldiers of the state of Wei to come during the day, you have to wait at night. At least we''ll have to wait until midnight, and we won''t be able to return until midnight. "


    "But it''s getting dark. The soldiers of the state of Wei haven''t come yet. I don''t know whether they will come or not."


    "I guess we''ve been here a long time."


    "Well, let''s make a group of two. Zhou Dafu and I will watch first. After two hours, you''ll change your post again. The more you get to the back, the worse your spirit will be. If you take a nap and miss something important, the consequences are serious. "


    Zhang Xiaowei looked at the other two soldiers and said, "you two should eat some dry food first, and then lie in the grass and squint for a while."


    "Yes


    The two sentinels got the order and nodded in agreement.


    Zhou Dafu stared at the direction of the city, looking a little nervous. He is a new recruit, a new addition to Zhang Xiaowei''s spies.


    Zhang Xiaowei patted Zhou Dafu on the shoulder and said, "Dafu, there''s no need to be so nervous. If Yu Jin sent troops, there would be a big stir. We hide it on the slope. It''s easy to find it. "


    "Yes," he said


    Suddenly, Zhou Dafu opened his eyes and said excitedly, "Xiaowei, look at the flag on the official road leading to Guangling city."


    Zhang Xiaowei was nervous and looked at him carefully.


    A big flag appeared on the official road leading to Guangling city. With the breeze blowing, a big flag in the air with the wind, it is obvious. Zhang Xiaowei fixed his eyes on them, and there was an army coming in their direction.


    This army is a soldier of Wei state.


    "It''s really a soldier of the state of Wei."


    Excited, Zhang looked at the other two sentries and said, "go to the forest immediately and get the horses out. The soldiers of the state of Wei are coming. We have to go back to the camp immediately and report the news to the military division. "


    Not far from the grass in the forest, there are four horses.


    After the soldiers pulled out, Zhang Xiaowei and his party turned over and rode to the military camp of the state of Chu.


    Back in the camp, Zhang Xiaowei saw Ma Liang and reported: "military adviser, the army of Wei is coming towards us. It''s just that this time they''re coming, they''re coming in fair and square. They''re not rushing. It looks like they''re preparing for a frontal attack. "


    "Frontal attack?"


    Ma Liang''s mouth rose, showing a look of disdain, said: "Yu Jin wants to attack head on, I''m afraid he doesn''t have the strength. You go down. Our military division has already made preparations. It''s tantamount to banning us. "


    "Here it is


    Zhang Xiaowei turned and stepped down.


    Ma Liang waved a feather fan in his hand, fanned the wind, and muttered to himself with a smile: "Yujin, Yujin, it seems that you really intend to attack first, test the quality of the Chu army, and then consider withdrawing? If you win this battle, you don''t have to retreat. But you can''t win, you will withdraw to xiapi. It''s a pity that everything in the world is as you wish. "


    Ma Liang went out of the barracks, made arrangements in the barracks, and then patrolled around the barracks, waiting for Yu Jin to arrive.


    As time goes by, the sun sets completely.


    Outside the barracks of Chu state, there appeared the mighty army of Wei state.


    This army was led by Yu Jin. This time, Yu Jin rushed out and dispatched all the soldiers under his command. His plan is very simple. He will fight Huang Zhong and then take the opportunity to withdraw.Of course, if we can defeat Huang Zhong in the first World War, that''s another story.


    Yu Jin stood in front of the army, overlooking the Chu camp.


    Ma Liang was also standing at the gate of the camp. He looked at the soldiers of Wei in the array, with a bright smile on his face, and said in a loud voice: "General Yu Jin, how can you be interested in leading the soldiers in person! You are hiding in the tortoise shell and don''t get out of the station. Is it Haixi County captured that makes you panic? I''m afraid I''ll be killed if I keep hiding in the shell. "


    Yu Jin said, "where is Huang Zhong?"


    Ma Liang replied, "General Huang is resting."


    Yu Jin''s eyes turned and looked left and right, doubting in his heart. Huang Zhong is not only a veteran, but also a master. At the critical moment, Huang Zhong was not in the camp. Maybe he was lying in ambush around.


    Is Huang Zhong going to attack him?


    Yu Jin was wary and disdained to say, "is Huang Zhong afraid of the general?"


    Ma Liang said: "General Huang is not afraid of you, but disdains to see you."


    As soon as the words changed, Ma Liang said: "General Yu Jin, since he came with the army of Wei, he must attack. There''s no more nonsense. If you want to attack, please come. Our division has taken over. We''ll see if you can break through the camp of our military division? "


    The words of provocation came from Ma Liang''s mouth.


    Yu Jin was meant to attack. After hearing Ma Liang''s words, he drew his sword out of the scabbard with a clang. The bright sword pointed to the camp of Chu state. Yu Jin gave a loud order: "kill!"


    "Dong! Dong


    Suddenly, the war drum began to ring.


    The sound of the horn, followed by the sound.


    Yu Jin''s vanguard troops were killed in an instant. This group of vanguard soldiers are all elite, one by one fighting high spirited, murderous, straight to the camp of Chu.


    When the soldiers of the state of Wei attacked, Ma Liang''s face was extremely calm, without a trace of panic. He gently shakes the feather fan and sees a group of archers in the barracks.


    The archer came forward and bent his bow.


    "Whew! Whew


    Dense bows and arrows, whistling out, shot at the charging soldiers of the state of Wei. Although there was a rain of arrows shooting, these soldiers of the state of Wei were not afraid of death, braved the rain of arrows, and kept rushing forward,


    after a rush, some soldiers had already rushed to the camp.


    In the barracks, spearmen were killed again.


    One by one, the soldiers with spears gathered together to form a spear array. They were fierce and murderous. They rushed to the soldiers of Wei state. As the distance between the two sides narrowed, the spear soldiers pricked their spears. Only the sound of Puchi was heard. The soldiers of the state of Wei, who rushed in front of them, were stabbed into meat sieves on the spot.


    One by one, no breath.


    Archers and spearmen formed a defensive formation, which blocked the attack of the soldiers of Wei state. On both sides of these Chu soldiers, another Chu soldier swam away and killed the Wei soldiers who entered the camp.


    The two sides took the camp as the center and fought fiercely.


    Shouting and killing, one after another.


    The soldiers of the state of Wei have been in a defensive state, holding a breath in their hearts.


    This time out to fight, one by one to do their best, very brave. The soldiers under Huang Zhong''s command resisted and showed their extraordinary strength. They didn''t let the soldiers of Wei move forward.


    A corpse fell inside and outside the camp.


    As the fighting continues, the number of casualties on both sides is increasing.

 Chapter 874

    As time goes by, it gets darker and darker. A full moon in the sky, there are a few stars in the sky. It''s not dark yet, but it''s dark now.


    Ma Liang stares at all this with a calm look.


    See the sky gradually dark down, Ma Liang mouth gradually burst out a smile, decisively ordered: "let go the arrow!"


    "Whew!"


    An order was given, and an arrow was launched.


    With the launch of the arrow, there is more fire shining in the air, so that the surrounding can be seen clearly.


    Yu Jin saw this scene outside the camp.


    "No, there''s an ambush."


    Yu Jin''s heart suddenly became nervous.


    He has never seen Huang Zhong''s trace and is thinking about it. Now when you see the arrows in the camp of the state of Chu, you know that Huang Zhong is lying in ambush nearby. Look around the forbidden area and be careful to avoid being caught off guard.


    "Kill


    The shouts came from the left side of the camp. On the left side of the camp, there is an open and flat area. With the sound of shouting and killing coming, there was the sound of horse hooves, and the sound was more and more urgent.


    "Yu Jin, Huang Zhong is here!"


    All of a sudden, the shouts of countless soldiers came from the right.


    The sound is like thunder.


    "Kill


    On the right side of the camp, which is also a gap, there is a cry. Yu Jin heard the cry of killing, looked to the right, heard the sound of rushing into the sky, but did not see the soldiers of Chu killed.


    A moment later, a vast army appeared on the flat horizon.


    At the same time, ambush appeared on the left and right flanks of Chu''s barracks.


    "Yu Jin, Huang Zhong will kill you today."


    In the right direction, once again sounded the orderly shouts of countless soldiers.


    The sound went up to the sky and reverberated in the sky. This voice, resounding in the hearts of all the Chu soldiers, aroused the fighting spirit of the Chu soldiers, but also made the Chu soldiers fighting with the Wei soldiers.


    On the other hand, the soldiers of the state of Wei were stunned when they saw ambushes on both sides.


    It''s a trick!


    They were ambushed.


    In the hearts of the soldiers of the state of Wei, such thoughts arose.


    When Yu Jin saw this scene, he saw the soldiers of the state of Chu who had been killed from left to right, holding out their teeth. He has been preparing for the surprise attack, but he did not expect that Huang Zhong would arrange ambushes on both sides of the camp.


    Is Huang Zhong sure that he will attack?


    If so, it would be terrible. It''s not that he was unprepared. He had planned for it. See both sides have ambush to kill, in forbid also don''t entangle, decisive order way: "withdraw!"


    "Dang! Dang! Dang! "


    The sound of gongs ringing gold resounds on the battlefield.


    Yu Jin retreated with his soldiers.


    Under the command of the Wei soldiers, the mighty turn retreat.


    During the retreat, Ma Liang took the soldiers inside the camp and joined the soldiers of commander Huang Zhong outside the camp. The two armies joined together to cover up and kill.


    This cover up met the soldiers arranged by Yu Jin.


    Although Yu Jin came to attack Chu''s barracks, he was careful in layout. He arranged soldiers on the way early to avoid confusion and turbulence.


    As soon as the soldiers appeared, the crisis of Yu ban was resolved.


    Yu Jin led the army and withdrew steadily.


    After the ban had gone away, Ma Liang and his army attacked the soldiers of the state of Wei. After some fighting, he finally defeated the soldier.


    Time goes by, it''s already night.


    It''s all dark, and there''s a full moon in the sky.


    Dense stars, dotted in the sky, shining. The moon in June, like a disk, emits bright moonlight. The soft moonlight makes the night dim. Although it''s at night, you can still see the road clearly with the moonlight.


    Yu Jin ran all the way, but also a little tired.


    He stopped, arranged for the soldiers to rest, and counted the losses of the war.


    This attack on Huang Zhong''s camp resulted in the loss of nearly 2000 soldiers under his command. There must be no such number of dead soldiers, but many of them are scattered.


    After a short rest, the army continued on its way.


    Instead of going back to Guangling County, the army rushed to xiapi.


    Xiapi is not only the governing place of Xuzhou, but also the political center of Xuzhou. The strength of xiapi''s city, its Garrison and grain storage are much higher than those of Guangling county. As long as Yu Jin arrived at xiapi, he could resist Huang Zhong''s attack with the help of the city of xiapi.


    The loss of Haixi county made Guangling County out of control, so that Yu Jin could not continue to stand in Guangling county. As long as the ban reaches xiapi, we can use xiapi to defend Xuzhou and prevent the situation from further worsening.The army bypassed the county seat of Guangling county and made a quick way.


    By the end of the night, the soldiers were exhausted.


    It was not only a fight in the evening, but also because of the night driving, I was very tired.


    Zhu wenqima was beside Jin, and suggested: "general, there are no pursuers in our rear. At this time, Ma Liang could not come after him again. If you can take a break and wait for daybreak to go on


    Yu Jin swept around his eyes. At the place where his eyes touched, the soldiers were really tired. One by one, they sighed and could not go on.


    "Herald, rest where you are!"


    Yu Jin gave the order directly.


    With the order, the soldiers stopped. All the soldiers sat down on the ground and relaxed. They went to attack Huang Zhong''s camp at night, hit the iron plate, and finally had to retreat.


    All the way to escape, extremely hard.


    At this moment, many soldiers stop to have a rest. They untie their armor, put down their weapons and simply lie on the ground to sleep.


    At the moment, everyone has relaxed their vigilance.


    Including the ban, but also relaxed. Ma Liang and Huang Zhong led the soldiers to chase for a while, but they had already stopped chasing. At this time, Yu Jin thought it impossible for them to catch up again.


    Soon after, the soldiers of the state of Wei snored and fell asleep.


    Yu Jin rested on his back against a big tree.


    When the soldiers of the state of Wei rested and relaxed their vigilance, not far from this place, an army of the state of Chu came quietly.


    The chief General of this army is Huang Zhong.


    Huang Zhong didn''t take part in the fight in the evening. The soldiers yelled that Huang Zhong was here, only under the banner of Huang Zhong, deliberately bluffing Yu ban to force him to withdraw. In fact, Huang Zhong took an army to the rear of Guangling county.


    Ma Liang got the news from Haixi county. After discussing with Huang Zhong, they thought that Yu Jin would not be stationed in Guangling county because he got the lost battle report from Haixi county.


    Therefore, Huang Zhongcai came to the rear of Guangling county early to wait.


    Along the way, there are spies under Huang Zhong. When Yu ban took his soldiers around Guangling County, he was found by Huang Zhong. Equal to ban and his soldiers stop to rest, Huang Zhong with the soldiers quietly touch over.


    Everyone is getting closer and closer to the soldiers of the state of Wei.


    When the distance was less than 20 steps, Huang Zhong ordered: "blow the trumpet, kill!"


    "Woo! Woo


    Suddenly the horn sounded in the night sky.


    The sound broke the silence of the night. Countless soldiers of the state of Wei woke up, looked around, and saw the soldiers of the state of Chu.


    "Kill


    Huang Zhong took the lead in killing him with a long knife.


    After Huang Zhong, the soldiers of the state of Chu were killed like tigers and wolves. When the soldiers of the state of Wei woke up, they were shocked by the scene. When they were still in a daze, the soldiers of the state of Chu had drawn close and swung a knife to chop them.

 Chapter 875

    Yu Jin was also awakened by the sound of bugles and shouts. He suddenly saw the soldiers of Chu killed around him. He was shocked and cried out: "the enemy is coming. Resist, resist the soldiers of Chu."


    His cry was late.


    Huang Zhong and the soldiers of the state of Chu have been slaughtered.


    Lying on the ground, the soldiers of the state of Wei were chopped to death before they could resist.


    In particular, Yu ban ordered a rest, relaxed his vigilance, and did not arrange soldiers to patrol. All the Wei soldiers under his command lay down to rest, and many of them even took off their armor.


    Suddenly meet the enemy to kill, where can resist.


    In the rush of Chu soldiers, in an instant, there were countless deaths and injuries, and the scene was in chaos.


    The situation on the battlefield was a one-sided massacre.


    Chu soldiers wantonly killed, one by one Wei soldiers were killed.


    At the moment, the soldiers of the state of Wei were in chaos.


    Yu Jin, holding a knife, resisted the attack of Chu soldiers. As he resisted, he yelled, "retreat, as you will."


    In today''s situation, it is impossible to resist, only to retreat.


    Yu Jin''s heart is incomparable regret. If I had known that, I should not have stopped to have a rest. I should have arrived at xiapi county and had a rest. Now the army under his command has been defeated like a mountain and suffered heavy losses.


    Yu Jin retreated, but it happened that Huang Zhong was not far away.


    Huang Zhong continued to fight. In the fight, he saw the Shuai flag representing Yu Jin.


    The flag is there, the manager is there.


    A handsome flag represents the morale of the army.


    Huang Zhong''s eyes turned and soon saw Yu Jin. He grinned.


    It''s a great credit to capture enemy generals on the battlefield. Yu Jin was Cao Cao''s confidant and a general of Wei state. If he can be captured alive, he will surely make great achievements in this war. Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren and Tai Shici joined hands to capture Xun you and Zhang Liao alive. Now, he can''t be arrested.


    "Yu ban mouse generation, Huang Zhong here, where to escape?"


    Huang Zhong roared, took a long knife, and strode toward Yu Jin.


    Seeing this, a soldier of the state of Wei rushed forward to resist.


    Huang Zhong glared and roared: "those who block me will die!"


    The long knife started and slashed down in the air.


    "Whew!"


    The sword was shining, and the cold light fell. There was only a click, and the spears in the hands of the soldiers of the state of Wei were short. As the blade continued to fall, the soldiers of the state of Wei were cut in half.


    Blood spray, body split.


    Huang Zhong''s body was also splashed with blood. The blood of this body makes Huang Zhong like a demon, which is frightening.


    Huang Zhong still stares at Yu Jin and roars: "Yu Jin, how dare you fight?"


    Like the sound of thunder, resounding through the battlefield.


    Countless soldiers are afraid of it.


    Huang Zhong, holding the knife, kept rushing forward. He''s powerful and invincible. Where he passed, he was defeated. The soldiers in front of him were directly killed by him. Huang Zhong killed more than ten people in a row. It was like killing a God. In front of him, there were no soldiers of the state of Wei who dared to stop him.


    All the soldiers of the state of Wei avoided and saw Huang Zhong trembling.


    Yu Jin saw that Huang Zhong had killed him, and he kept picking up his teeth.


    Huang zhongzhiyong, as he knows, is a tiger general.


    However, in recent years, Yu Jin has never fought with Huang Zhong. I don''t know Huang Zhong''s martial arts. But when Yu Jin saw that Huang Zhong''s silver hair was already white, his eyes turned and his mind became active.


    Although Huang Zhong is brave, he is old now.


    He is still in his prime.


    He and Huang Zhong fight, as long as he blocks Huang Zhong''s offensive, when Huang Zhong exhausted, he will have the chance to win Huang Zhong. As long as Huang Zhong is killed, he will have a chance to win and reverse the war.


    "Mr. Huang Zhong, take your life!"


    With a decision in his mind, Yu Jin turns around and goes straight to kill Huang Zhong.


    In this situation, it is impossible to retreat. The only way to turn the situation around is to kill Yu Jin and fight against Huang Zhong to the death. The blade swung, Yu Jin took a breath and tried his best to kill.


    It''s extremely fierce and fierce.


    Huang Zhong was not angry but happy. He was excited in his eyes. He roared, "good come!"


    Over the years, Huang Zhong has been well maintained. Although he is old, his martial arts have already reached the peak. Even if he is old, he can''t stick to it for a long time, but his martial arts and other people can''t stop him.


    "Hum!"


    The long knife turns in the air and cuts directly.


    "Dang!"


    The two knives collided with each other, and in a flash, sparks were all over the place.


    Huang Zhong is not affected by the slightest bit, and his fighting spirit is still high. On the contrary, because of the collision of the blade, the handle of the knife was shaking. His hand holding the handle of the knife was shaking, and the pain was unbearable."I can''t stop it!"


    Yu Jin was shocked. He didn''t expect that Huang Zhong was so old and brave.


    "This man is beyond our power!"


    Yu Jin''s heart, under the judgment, directly said: "withdraw!"


    Yu Jin is about to retreat, but when Huang Zhong gains the upper hand, where will he get the chance to retreat. Huang Zhong waved his sword. It turned in the air and split down in a flash.


    It''s too sharp and fast to avoid.


    Yu Jin had to hold up his sword and rush towards Huang Zhong''s blade.


    "Dang!"


    The weapons collided with each other, and the great power diffused from the place where the blade hit.


    Yu Jin snorted, his Qi and blood were boiling, and his face suddenly turned red. The tiger''s mouth of his hand holding the knife cracked. He could not hold the long knife and flew out directly. Under the impact of powerful force, Yu Jin''s center of gravity was unstable, and he plopped down and sat on the ground.


    However, Huang Zhong is more courageous.


    He fought with Yu Jin for such a long time. Yu Jin was hiding in the turtle shell of Guangling County, which made him unable to break through Guangling county. Now that he finally has the chance, he will not give up the great opportunity and will win the ban completely.


    The blade revolves in the air and splits towards Yu Jin.


    Yu Jin opened his eyes and looked at the knife. There was no time to escape. If you don''t surrender, you will be killed.


    Yu Jin didn''t want to die, so he said: "I surrender!"


    "Hum!"


    Huang Zhong stops three inches above Jin''s forehead.


    Rao is so. Yu Jin feels a pain on his forehead. Yu Jin was sitting on the ground, panting, looking pale again, sweating heavily on his back and wet his clothes.


    He was almost killed by Huang Zhong.


    Fortunately, even if he cried out to surrender, he would have been a dead man at the moment.


    With a smile in his mouth, Huang Zhong roared, "come on, tie up Yu Jin." The soldiers of the state of Chu rushed up immediately and tied up Yu Jin.


    Huang Zhong looked at Yu Jin''s handsome flag, swung his long sword to chop it down, cut off the flag representing Yu Jin, and roared: "Yu Jin has surrendered, and those who have fallen will not be killed."


    When the news came out, the soldiers of the state of Wei all around looked at it one after another.


    When they saw the Shuai flag on behalf of Yu Jin fall, their hearts were cold. After hearing the news of Yu Jin''s surrender, and being at a disadvantage, they no longer resisted and all knelt down to surrender.


    Wave after wave of Wei soldiers surrender. Huang Zhong grins at this scene.


    The war was won.


    Taking the whole Guangling county is just around the corner.

 Chapter 876

    Into July, the weather is still hot. The war in the North was transferred from Chenliu county to Yanzhou East County.


    Dongjun is the place where Cao Cao made his fortune.


    Today, Cao Cao is stationed in Dongjun and confronts Liu Xiu.


    Ten miles away from the military camp, there was the Chu camp led by Liu Xiusuo.


    The Chinese Army''s big account, Liu XiuXiu, looks at the information presented. The news Liu Xiu read came from all over the country recently, including Yingchuan County, Yuzhou and Yangzhou.


    Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun fought and won in succession, constantly expanding their territory.


    In Yuzhou, taishici also attacked the city and plundered the land.


    Now, there is no news of Huang Zhong''s victory. But Liu Xiu trusted Huang Zhong and Ma Liang. Both Huang Zhong and Ma Liang are capable of winning.


    Moreover, commander Lu Xun''s navy was also in Yangzhou. With the full cooperation of Lu Xun''s navy, it is not difficult to defeat Yu Jin of Guangling.


    When Chu and Wei fought, Wei was weak.


    Although Cao Cao still has enough territory, including Jizhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Youzhou and so on, Cao Cao''s generals have fewer and fewer generals to use when they surrender or die in battle.


    And Cao Cao himself, now more and more old, is no longer in his prime. Even though Cao Cao was not affected by headache, he was greatly affected by his age.


    On the contrary, under Liu Xiu''s command, all the legions are powerful.


    All the legions are first-class generals.


    For example, Tai Shici, Wen pin, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Zhang Ren, Zhao Yun and others can stand in their own way if they bring them out. Not to mention Liu Xiu''s rear area, there are Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and other talents in charge to ensure that Liu Xiu has enough advantages.


    Liu Xiu''s overall strength is higher than Cao Cao''s.


    In particular, Liu Xiu also has lumen academy to cultivate talents, which enriches Liu Xiu''s talent reserve.


    When the coaches of both sides are not confused, it depends on who is better. Cao Cao''s strength is weak, so he is inferior. So now Liu Xiu has an advantage in fighting. Although Cao Cao wants to counterattack, he is powerless.


    "Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of footwork came from the self operated account.


    A royal guard came in, handed a letter and reported: "Your Majesty, this is the latest war report."


    "I see!"


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and the royal guards stepped down respectfully.


    After opening the letter, Liu Xiu scanned it quickly. At the moment, Liu Xiu''s face was full of joy. Besides Zhang Ren, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, Huang Zhong''s news is also in the news.


    Huang Zhong and Tai Shici united to capture Guangling county and were captured alive.


    In the war report, the war was described very clearly.


    Today, Yu Jin is escorted by soldiers to Xiangyang by water, and then he will go north by land to Liu Xiu''s place. Calculating the time, it is estimated that at most half a month, Yu Jin will be delivered.


    Liu Xiu called wenpin, Ma Chao and others to tell them the news of Huang Zhong''s victory. However, Liu Xiu''s request to keep quiet for the time being is tantamount to bringing Yu Jin to Cao Cao''s camp after the ban was sent, which stimulates Cao Cao once again.


    In the evening, Xu Shu came to Liu Xiu''s camp. On Xu Shu''s face, also overflowing with smile, hugged fist to say: "Your Majesty, great joy, great joy."


    Liu Xiu asked, "what''s the happy event?"


    In the morning, Liu Xiu got the news that Huang Zhong had won a great victory and Yu Jin had been captured. Liu Xiu was very happy with the news. Now Xu Shu comes back to report the good news, which can be called double happiness.


    Xu Shu is very excited, excited way: "Your Majesty with me to logistics camp will know."


    Liu Xiu became curious.


    What happened in the end made the steady Xu Shu so excited.


    Liu Xiu stood up, followed Xu Shu out of the big account of the Chinese army, and went straight to the logistics camp. Xu Shu led Liu Xiu into the warehouse, went into the innermost part, waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please have a look!"


    In the eye, yellow and golden.


    In front of each other''s pumpkin, a pumpkin, neatly stacked in the warehouse. Moreover, the pumpkins piled on the ground are not small pumpkins with a weight of several jin or ten jin. They are very big, at least more than 30 jin. They are very good in appearance.


    Liu Xiu looked happy and said, "I forgot that it''s July now. The pumpkin has begun to blossom and mature."


    Liu Xiu is very familiar with pumpkin.


    Now that he has harvested pumpkin, Liu Xiu is also very happy.


    Xu Shu took out a letter from his long sleeve, handed it to Liu Xiu, and reported: "Your Majesty, this is a letter from Shoufu. It''s about pumpkin."


    Liu Xiu took it apart and looked at it.


    In Kuai Liang''s letter, it was mentioned that pumpkin blossomed and fruited a lot, and began to harvest in batches. The pumpkin delivered to Liu Xiu''s camp is the first batch of 100000 Jin, and more pumpkins will be delivered in the future. Kuai Liang also asked Liu Xiu to order the soldiers in the kitchen to collect pumpkin seeds for planting in the coming year.Liu Xiu handed the letter to Xu Shu and said, "Yuanzhi, collect pumpkin seeds according to Kuai Liang''s arrangement. For Chu, this is the most important material. "


    "Here it is


    Xu Shu responded respectfully.


    He knew the importance of pumpkin and didn''t dare to neglect it.


    As soon as the words changed, Xu Shu said, "Your Majesty, I''m thinking about whether to take out some pumpkin soup and share it with the soldiers. According to people sent by Shoufu adults, pumpkin soup is quite delicious. "


    Liu Xiu said: "this evening''s dinner, add a pumpkin soup."


    "Here it is


    Xu Shu responded excitedly.


    Liu Xiu looked at Xu Shu''s excited expression, but his heart was Gujing bubo. Pumpkin is an excellent food for people of this era. But in later generations, it is simply too ordinary to be ordinary.


    In this era, the living standard is very low. It''s good to have a bite.


    Pumpkin is very sweet and can fill the stomach.


    Such food is a treasure to the people.


    Liu Xiu and Xu Shu leave the camp. Xu Shu arranges to cook pumpkin soup. Liu Xiu goes back to the camp.


    It''s July and the pumpkin harvest is beginning.


    Pumpkins are being harvested continuously, but sweet potatoes will have to wait for months.


    When Liu Xiu was a little depressed, in the recent period of time, he unexpectedly got the Warring States system without any tasks, which made Liu Xiu helpless. If the system doesn''t work, he can''t benefit from the system and can''t use it on the people.


    Less than half an hour later, the camp began to serve dinner.


    This evening''s food, in addition to the daily meat and meals, each soldier also has a bowl of pumpkin soup, which is rich. But I don''t know what pumpkin soup is.


    When a soldier heard the news from the chef in the kitchen and learned that the pumpkin was planted with the seed given by God to Liu Xiu, all the soldiers were excited.


    The things of heaven are extraordinary.


    It''s a blessing in my life to be late for the food God has given me.


    The news spread in a very short time, especially after the first soldier drank a mouthful of pumpkin soup, the refreshing sweetness reverberated in his throat, the taste buds felt incomparably comfortable, and the whole person enjoyed it incomparably.


    "Cool!"


    The soldier''s eyes lit up and quickly ran to one side to eat. After drinking the soup, the pumpkin in the bowl soon entered the soldier''s stomach. The cooked pumpkin is extremely soft and crisp. It will rot when you sip it. It tastes sweet and full-bodied with endless aftertaste.


    "It''s delicious. It''s delicious."


    "It''s worthy of God''s seed. This pumpkin is really delicious."


    "Happy to follow your majesty."


    "If only we could have such delicious food every day in the future. I don''t know if I can eat this kind of food in the future? "


    The soldier talked, very excited.


    The whole camp was in a state of excitement.


    Liu Xiu saw this scene and looked at the satisfied smile on the soldier''s face. He was also very happy. When he returned to the camp, the soldiers had already brought the prepared meals and pumpkin soup for Liu Xiu.


    Looking at the pumpkin soup, Liu Xiu suddenly thought of Cao Cao ten miles away.

 Chapter 877

    Liu Xiu thought for a while, his eyes brightened. Liu Xiu spread out a piece of paper, picked up his pen and dipped it in ink. He quickly wrote a letter. After the letter was loaded, he said, "come, please Xu Shu."


    Xu Shu entered the camp and saluted, "Your Majesty."


    Liu Xiu handed the letter to Xu Shu and said with a smile, "let''s prepare a food box and send a can of pumpkin soup in a pottery pot to Cao Cao. More pumpkins, let him taste the delicious pumpkin


    "Ah


    When Xu Shu heard the speech, he was stunned. He returned to his mind, thought carefully, and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, it''s a pity for Cao Cao to eat pumpkin, which is a gift from heaven."


    For Xu Shu, pumpkin is a gift from heaven. It''s a waste to send it to Cao Cao. Xu Shu has lived for so many years, but he has never eaten such delicious food.


    Xu Shu didn''t want to give it to Cao Cao.


    Even though Xu Shu understood Liu Xiu''s intention and Liu Xiu''s intention to stimulate Cao Cao.


    Can''t be so exciting?


    Seeing this, Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Yuanzhi, things are rare. If there are only a few dozens of pumpkins, nature is extremely precious. "


    "But we have too many pumpkins."


    "If there are too many, it''s not unusual."


    "This batch of 100000 Jin pumpkins has been delivered, and the next batch will be more. When the soldiers in the barracks are familiar with the taste of pumpkin, pumpkin is no longer rare. It''s just food to eat


    "It''s a gift from heaven, but if you eat too much, it''s just average."


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said: "although Cao Cao is my enemy, Cao Cao is a wise and powerful leader. Give him some to eat and let him taste."


    "Yes, I do!"


    After hearing Liu Xiu''s words, Xu Shu knew that Liu Xiu was determined. He immediately turned and went out, ready to carry out the order.


    Liu Xiu stopped and said, "wait a minute!"


    Xu Shu stopped, turned around and said, "what''s your command?"


    Liu xiudao: "no manipulation of pumpkin soup."


    "Here it is


    Xu Shu answered, he went out of Liu Xiu''s tent, went straight to the kitchen of the logistics camp, ordered the cook to prepare a food box, and then filled a can of pumpkin soup in a pottery pot. After everything was ready, Xu Shu found a clever captain from the camp and asked him to ride to Cao Cao''s camp.


    However, before the captain left, Xu Shu also gave a careful order to prevent the captain from making a fool of himself when he saw Cao Cao.


    "Da! "Da!"


    The horse''s hooves were in a hurry, and the captain ran with his food box.


    The earthenware pot with pumpkin soup is sealed. When the horses are running, although there are bumps from time to time, they don''t worry about the pumpkin soup spilling out. Moreover, the pottery pot is thick and will not cool in a short time.


    The Xiaowei raced his horse and soon came to the camp of the Wei army. When there was still a hundred paces to go from the camp, the captain turned over and dismounted.


    He stopped and gasped for a moment.


    After the breath was slightly even, the captain held his head high and went to the barracks.


    The captain''s action alerted the soldiers at the gate of the camp. However, because there was only the captain, there was no change in the camp, but the soldiers at the gate of the camp were on guard.


    When the distance between the two sides was less than ten steps, the Wei soldiers on guard cheered, "stop


    The captain raised his head and looked arrogant. He said in a loud voice, "I am the envoy of the emperor of Chu. I have come to see the emperor of Wei."


    The soldier of Wei asked, "what''s in your hand?"


    Xiaowei, who had eaten pumpkin soup, said with pride: "this is the food given by the emperor of Chu to the emperor of Wei. My emperor specially asked me to bring it."


    The delicious pumpkin soup is still tasted by Xiaowei.


    It''s absolutely beautiful.


    Only limited supply in the evening, everyone has only a bowl of soup, he just ate a few pieces of pumpkin, after drinking the soup. So much so that now the center of the heart owes, eager to eat three bowls.


    The soldiers on guard looked strange and didn''t understand. What did Liu Xiu give Cao Cao?


    This is the first time.


    The soldiers on guard thought it was quite new. But it was between Cao Cao and Liu Xiu. He didn''t dare to get involved or stop him.


    "Wait!"


    The soldier gave an order and immediately turned to report.


    After a while, Xu Chu came out. Xu Chu was dressed in armor, with a sword hanging from his waist. His eyes were staring at the eldest. His face was even more murderous and he was staring at the captain.


    Xu Chu looked at the food box in the captain''s hand and said, "give me the food box and follow me!"


    The captain didn''t refuse either. He handed the food box to Xu Chu, who led him into the camp. Entering the army''s tent, the captain met Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao was curious.


    How did Liu Xiu bring him a meal?


    Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "what''s the meaning of Liu Xiu sending you? Is it as simple as delivering food? "The captain was very proud and said, "the food given by the emperor is a gift from heaven." He took out the letter from his long sleeve and said, "this is the letter of our emperor. The emperor of Wei will know if he has read it."


    Cao Cao sneered with disbelief and said sarcastically, "I''d like to see what a gift Liu Xiu has got. In recent years, Liu Xiu has been playing tricks and deceiving the people. It''s really hard. "


    After hearing this, the captain suddenly became angry.


    As a soldier of the state of Chu, he witnessed the meteorite falling from the sky.


    The miracle of Chu is the pride of Chu soldiers.


    Cao Cao denied it with one sentence and looked contemptuous. The captain was very dissatisfied. He immediately retorted: "it''s disgusting that the Wei emperor used the heart of a villain to measure the belly of a gentleman. My emperor specially sent you a gift. If you don''t appreciate it, it''s just so cold. "


    Cao Cao didn''t answer.


    He didn''t pay attention to the irony of the captain.


    Cao Cao took the letter and read it quickly, but he didn''t believe what Liu Xiu said. In Liu Xiu''s letter, he firmly said that pumpkin was a gift from heaven, and that there was something delicious to share with Cao Cao.


    It''s just that Liu Xiu''s words, inside and outside, are stimulating Cao Cao, which makes Cao Cao very unhappy.


    Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu and said, "Zhong Kang, open the food box. I''d like to see what gift Liu Xiu has got. It''s worth his inspiring."


    Xu Chu disagreed and stopped: "Your Majesty, Liu Xiu is cunning and insidious. The food in the box must be Liu Xiu''s trick. If your majesty eats it, I''m afraid he will be poisoned. "


    "Open up!"


    Cao Cao''s order was very serious.


    Xu Chu got the order and swallowed it again. He opened the food box and took out the pottery pot. Because the jar is sealed, the heat dissipates slowly and is still warm. The moment the lid was opened, a peculiar sweet smell of pumpkin filled the tent.


    Cao Cao was so surprised that he was aroused by his appetite that he said, "take it and I''ll have a taste."


    Xu Chu said, "Your Majesty, what if it''s poisonous?"


    Cao Cao laughed and said confidently, "I know Liu Xiu. He won''t poison food. Liu Xiu sent someone to bring pumpkin soup to stimulate me. But if it''s a gift from heaven, I''ll know after trying. "


    Seeing that Cao Cao insisted on drinking soup, Xu Chu knelt down with a plop and said solemnly, "Your Majesty can''t, please try it first."


    As Cao Cao''s confidant, he can''t let Cao Cao risk.


    If you want to die, he will die first.


    "You..."


    Cao Cao laughed, waved his hand and said, "just take a sip." Immediately, Cao Cao ordered the soldiers to bring spoons and chopsticks. Xu Chu took the chopsticks, scooped a spoonful of pumpkin soup, gritted his teeth and drank it.


    Pumpkin soup into the mouth of the moment, fragrant sweetness in the mouth diffuse, sweet children refreshing, comfortable incomparable.


    This taste, let Xu Chu aftertaste unceasingly.


    He widened his eyes and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His eyes were fixed on the pottery pot. He was very surprised and said, "Your Majesty, this so-called pumpkin soup is really delicious."


    Cao Cao asked with a smile, "Zhong Kang, are you relieved now?"


    After a long time, Xu Chu felt that he had no adverse reaction, so he stepped back respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, please use it."


    Cao Cao took the spoon and stirred it in the pot.


    Looking at the yellow pumpkin in the pot and smelling the fragrance, Cao Cao couldn''t help eating one. When the pumpkin entered the mouth, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and looked intoxicated.


    Delicious!


    It''s delicious!


    Cao Cao fell in love with this pumpkin soup in this instant.

 Chapter 878

    Xu Chu''s big eyes, a pair of eyes like a copper bell, staring at Cao Cao drinking soup and eating melon.


    He couldn''t help swallowing his saliva and was envious.


    Delicious!


    It''s delicious!


    He just tasted a little and didn''t eat enough.


    Liu Xiu gave Cao Cao a can of pumpkin soup, which was not enough to eat.


    It''s a pity that Xu Chu can''t eat it.


    Cao Cao worked hard and ate well, but he ignored Xu Chu. Unconsciously, the pumpkin in the pot was eaten by Cao Cao, leaving only some soup. Cao Cao quickly straightened his beard and drank all the soup in the earthenware pot. Then he belched.


    When he patted his full stomach, Cao Cao said with emotion, "it''s sweet, crisp and delicious. It''s really rare. Liu Xiu said that it was a gift from heaven, which is reasonable. "


    The captain held his head high, very proud.


    He had eaten pumpkin soup, and he knew the taste of pumpkin soup.


    The captain showed a proud look on his face and said: "of course, pumpkin is a special food given by God for your Majesty''s favor."


    Cao Cao thought about it and said, "I''ll write back to Liu Xiu."


    The soldier moved away the pottery pot and food box. Cao Cao dipped his pen in ink. As soon as the letter was sealed, he handed it to the Xiaowei and said, "this is my reply to Liu Xiu. Take it to Liu Xiu yourself."


    "Here it is


    The captain should come down.


    Cao Cao then looked at Xu Chu. In Xu Chu''s eyes, he told Xu Chu to leave with the captain.


    Xiaowei left the camp of the state of Wei and rode back.


    When he thought of Cao Cao''s happy eating, the captain was even more happy, which proved the reliability of Liu Xiu''s gift. Moreover, he felt that Cao Cao had lowered his head.


    Back in the camp, the captain went straight to the army tent.


    After submitting the letter, the captain said, "Your Majesty, it''s ridiculous that you didn''t see the situation at that time. His majesty kindly sent the pumpkin soup to Cao Cao for tasting. Cao Cao did not suspect that the pumpkin soup was poisonous, but Xu Chu said that it was poisonous and he wanted to try it for Cao Cao. "


    "Xu Chu had a taste and was directly conquered by the taste of pumpkin soup."


    "When Cao Cao was eating melon and drinking soup, Xu Chu''s eyes were round and he was swallowing his saliva. He looked greedy."


    "That''s funny."


    The captain, with a look of honor, said, "the pumpkin soup Your Majesty gave Cao Cao went into Cao Cao''s stomach, and there was no soup left."


    Liu Xiu couldn''t help laughing when he heard the speech.


    He knew that this would be the result. Wen pin, Xu Shu, Ma Chao, Zhang Ya and others ate pumpkin. After drinking pumpkin soup, they were all extremely surprised. They even loved it so much that they all wanted to eat pumpkin.


    Cao Cao is no exception.


    After all, it''s the first time pumpkins have come out.


    Liu Xiu opened the letter and scanned it quickly. He raised his eyebrows and was surprised by Cao Cao''s practice. He asked the captain to step down and asked Xu Shu, "Yuanzhi, is there any pumpkin soup left?"


    "No more!"


    Xu Shu shook his head and answered.


    The popularity of pumpkin soup was unexpected. Even if the cook in the kitchen cooked a lot, he couldn''t stand the soldiers'' love. The pumpkin soup is out of stock, and there is no juice left.


    After the pumpkin soup was cooked, some of the cooks in the kitchen tasted it first, and they ate it. As for the cooks who didn''t taste it first, they didn''t get it and are still greedy.


    Liu xiudao: "this is Cao Cao''s letter. Look at it."


    Xu Shu took the letter and read it again. He said indignantly, "Cao Cao is so old and has such a thick skin. Thanks to the pumpkin soup, your Majesty gave it to our enemies. Your majesty, don''t pay any attention to Cao Cao. He wants pumpkin soup and makes him surrender to his majesty. "


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Liu Xiu couldn''t help laughing.


    Xu Shu said, "why does your majesty laugh?"


    Liu Xiu said, "Yuanzhi, you are a joke. Cao Cao wants to eat, but it is impossible for him to surrender. Well, I have some friendship with Cao Cao. I can''t help but satisfy his little request. When you arrange the kitchen, take three more pumpkins and cook them. Put them in big wooden barrels and send them to Cao Cao. "


    Xu Shu said, "Your Majesty, why?"


    Liu xiudao said: "I and Cao Cao are enemies. We will fight each other on the battlefield and decide the outcome. But apart from their respective positions, Cao Cao and I are also bosom friends. It''s just a few pumpkins. It''s not worth mentioning. Let''s arrange it. "


    "Here it is


    Xu Shu couldn''t persuade him, so he turned to arrange.


    Liu Xiu sat in the tent with a smile on his face.


    The three pumpkins were nothing to Liu Xiu. But the effect of three pumpkins is endless. Liu Xiu can be sure that Cao Cao will give the pumpkin to the following generals.


    After Cao Cao''s generals ate the pumpkin, they would consider that it was a gift from heaven, and they would agree that there was a miracle in the state of Chu.It''s a gift from heaven.


    It''s a miracle.


    Liu Xiu even has a gift from heaven, which means that Liu Xiu has the ability to listen to heaven. To a certain extent, Liu Xiu actually presented pumpkin to Cao Cao to instill an idea into Cao Cao''s people.


    Liu Xiu is the real Lord of heaven and the chosen one.


    Because God gave Liu Xiu a gift, but Cao Cao had nothing.


    Cao Cao asked for pumpkin soup again, maybe he wanted to win people''s hearts by giving pumpkin soup. In other words, Cao Cao felt that letting Liu Xiu give pumpkin soup belittled Liu Xiu''s status and showed his identity.


    But in fact, the spread of pumpkin soup is the best for Liu Xiu.


    Xu Shu is very angry to leave, he walked all the way, all the way thinking. When he got to the kitchen, Xu Shu understood everything and figured out the key.


    Xu Shu made the decision and ordered the cook in the kitchen to take five big pumpkins and peel them to make soup.


    Soon afterwards, pumpkin soup was made.


    Sweet taste, diffuse.


    Xu Shu couldn''t help tasting a little, but also left some for the cook in the kitchen. He called the captain who had gone to Cao Cao''s camp before, and asked the captain to lead the soldiers to pack the pumpkin soup in wooden barrels, put it on the carriage and transport it to Cao Cao''s camp.


    The captain arrived at Cao Cao''s camp, and the soldiers on guard went to report the news.


    This time, Cao Cao came out in person.


    Cao Cao received the pumpkin soup and sent the captain to send it.


    Looking at a bucket full of pumpkin soup, Cao Cao was very proud. He ordered people to move the pumpkin soup to the Chinese army tent, and ordered Xu Chu to summon Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Sima Yi, Yang Xiu, Cao Zhang, man Chong, Chen Qun and other generals to the Chinese army tent.


    Everybody get together.


    Cheng Yuwei narrowed his eyes and stared at the bucket in the camp. He said slowly, "Your Majesty, is the food in the bucket a gift from heaven? Did Liu Xiugang just send it?"


    Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and asked, "how did Zhong De Gong know that?"


    Cheng Yu replied: "Your Majesty, the first time Liu Xiu''s people came to deliver pumpkin soup, they said it was a gift from heaven at the door. This second time, the news spread directly. In addition to Xu Chu''s big mouth, he tasted the pumpkin soup, and told the soldiers how delicious the pumpkin soup was. News was flying all over the camp, and everyone knew. "


    After hearing this, Cao Cao had an angry look in his eyes.


    His original intention is to take this opportunity to show off to his subordinates, saying that he ordered Liu Xiu to send it. But the news had spread. He didn''t expect that everyone knew that Liu Xiu had a gift from heaven.


    Virtually, it is to Liu Xiuyang.


    For a moment, Cao Cao was depressed.


    Cao Cao lost interest and called the soldiers to prepare the dishes and chopsticks, one by one, to divide the soup among the generals. He looked at the people eating, a very fragrant look, listening to the people''s praise, heart drowsy.


    Finally, Cao Cao turned depression into appetite.


    Cao Cao tidied up a beard under his jaw, ate and drank, and tried to solve the pumpkin soup Liu Xiu sent.

 Chapter 879

    When Cao Cao was shocked by the delicious pumpkin soup, Zhang Liao and Xun you had been sent to Luoyang.


    The two arrived and received Kuai Liang.


    Kuai Liang, as the chief assistant of the cabinet of Chu state, was below one person and above ten thousand. Kuai Liang''s personal interview shows that he attaches great importance to Xun you and Zhang Liao.


    However, as soon as Zhang Liao and Xun you arrived, Kuai Liang did not immediately discuss official affairs and arrange things. Instead, he called together the cabinet members of the state of Chu, as well as six officials of the court, and made a special trip to take care of Xun you and Zhang Liao.


    This degree of acceptance is the greatest respect.


    In addition, Kuai Liang also prepared two mansions for Xun you and Zhang Liao to live in.


    Such courtesy can not be described as heavy.


    Xun you and Zhang Liao, who were originally a little worried, relaxed a lot after taking the wind and washing the dust, and had no previous worries.


    The next day, early in the morning.


    Kuai Liang sent Xun you and Zhang Liao to the office.


    In the room, the guest and host are seated.


    Kuai Liang looked at Zhang Liao and Xun you, stroked his beard under his jaw, and said, "I''m not new to you, so I don''t talk nonsense."


    "Your Majesty, let me arrange for you."


    "But I carefully considered that Wen Yuan was good at marching, fighting and arranging troops. Now, in the rear area of Luoyang, there can be no war. You can''t lead the war. "


    "Similarly, Gongda is good at staff officers, military aircraft and strategic layout, which is also related to war. It''s not convenient to arrange for you in the rear area of Luoyang. "


    Kuai Liang''s tone was slow but clear. He continued: "but you don''t want to go to the front line to attack Cao Cao."


    "Therefore, I have a headache."


    "I think about it. Now there''s a big event in Luoyang, which needs manpower and scheduling. You are all capable people, and you are responsible for it. "


    Kuai Liang explained the arrangement and his ideas.


    After listening to Kuai Liang, Xun you nodded slightly and agreed with him.


    He and Zhang Liao are both Cao Cao''s lineage and Cao Cao''s people. Although they are obedient to Liu Xiu, they are not willing to fight Cao Cao again.


    Xun you asked: "dare to ask Kuai Shoufu, what is it?"


    Zhang Liao said: "Kuai Shoufu''s orders are."


    Their attitude is very good.


    Now that he has been subordinated to Liu Xiu, he corrects his attitude and no longer sticks to the past.


    With a smile, Kuai Liang replied, "in the territory of Chu, there is a gift from heaven - pumpkin. Now, it''s the season of pumpkin harvest. "


    "The first batch of pumpkins were planted by the government."


    "All the fields have soldiers on patrol."


    "Now, pumpkins continue to mature and are being transported to Luoyang''s warehouse for storage batch by batch. At the same time, the harvested pumpkins are also transported batch by batch to various battlefields in the front line. "


    "Before you came here, I did it myself. Because pumpkins are very important, nothing can go wrong


    "Now that you are here, you will take over."


    Kuai Liang''s burden is very heavy. He can entrust some things and kick his breath.


    Kuai Liang said, "you two are responsible for collecting all the ripe pumpkins and sending them to the granary. There are quite a lot of pumpkins cultivated. During this period, you will be very busy. Of course, you''re new here, and many of you don''t know or understand, so I''ll arrange an experienced person to introduce you. "


    Xun you and Zhang Liao both frowned after listening.


    There was a trace of dissatisfaction in their hearts, and they felt that Kuai Liang played tricks on them. Originally, they thought Kuai Liang attached great importance to it, but now they don''t think so.


    Pumpkin?


    They are both capable people, but they are sent to collect food. What is the arrangement? Whether Xun you or Zhang Liao, they are all proud people.


    They thought that Kuai Liang would arrange reasonable government affairs for them, but they never thought it was such a thing.


    Kuai Liang looked at their expressions and said nothing.


    Pumpkin is a gift from heaven, such an important thing, entrusted in the hands of the two, has been the value of Xun you and Zhang Liao. Not ordinary people. He can''t arrange it yet.


    Xun you pressed down his dissatisfaction and asked, "what is pumpkin?"


    Kuai Liang looks very calm, light said: "I have said, pumpkin is a gift. Since ancient times, it has never appeared. I have lived for an age, and I have never seen it. Your majesty is blessed only when he is blessed by God. "


    As a witness of Liu Xiu''s miracle, Kuai Liang''s worship of Liu Xiu has long been rooted in his heart.


    When he was in Xiangyang, he saw something about Tianjiang meteorite.


    In the palace, he witnessed the pumpkin seeds.


    In the field, he saw ten acres of sweet potato seedlings appear out of thin air.


    One by one, it shows that Liu Xiu is favored by God. Therefore, Kuai Liang believes that it is extremely sacred and meaningful to hand over the pumpkin storage to Xun you and Zhang Liao.Xun you didn''t believe it.


    As a son of the Xun family, Xunyou traveled all over the world and had a wide range of knowledge. Xun you didn''t believe in the so-called miracles.


    The same is true of Zhang Liao.


    Both of them have doubts and discontent in their hearts.


    Xun you had already surrendered to Liu Xiu. After hearing Kuai Liang''s explanation, he didn''t refute it. He just asked, "Kuai Shoufu, the task of Zhang Wenyuan and I is to collect the ripe pumpkins and send them to the warehouse?"


    "Yes


    Kuai Liang nodded and said, "the mature pumpkins in the field are picked by farmers. Then, all the pumpkins will be carried out, weighed, registered, and escorted into the granary by soldiers


    After a pause, Kuai Liang said, "I won''t say anything superfluous. The more you say it, the more confused you are. It''s not complicated. With your ability and insight, it must be more than enough. But you don''t understand. It will be clear when you see it. "


    Xun you nodded his head and answered without expression.


    Zhang Liao sighed in his heart.


    Two people got the task, no excitement, also did not feel valued, feel idle. Yesterday, Kuai Liang received them ceremoniously, but today, he felt cold in his heart.


    Kuai Liang said, "come on!"


    A servant came in. Kuai Liang said, "please come here."


    "Here it is


    The attendant went down immediately.


    Yang Shu is an old man under Liu Xiu''s command. At the beginning, Liu Xiu set up a scientific examination in Xiangyang. Yang Shu passed the examination and became Liu Xiu''s man. Later Liu Xiu became king, and Yang Shu became an official in the palace of the king of Chu. After he moved his capital to Luoyang, Yang also went to Luoyang, and now he is an official in the Ministry of household affairs.


    After a while, Yang Shu came in.


    Yang Shu looks calm. When he meets Kuai Liang, he bows his hand and says, "my next officer, Yang Shu, I''d like to see you."


    Kuai Liang nodded: "the task of collecting pumpkin is now in the charge of Xun you and Zhang Liao. In the early days, you were also dealing with the expropriation of pumpkin. Now, you take them to get familiar with the expropriation. "


    "Here it is


    Yang should go down.


    Yang Shu looked at Xun you, waved his hand and said, "two adults, please follow me."


    Xunyou and zhangliao bid farewell to Kuai Liang, and then followed yang to leave the government.


    Xun you followed Yang Shu and asked, "Yang Shu, is pumpkin really a gift from heaven?" For the so-called pumpkin, Xun you still had a suspicious attitude in his heart, and did not believe that the pumpkin was given by God.


    Yang Bi heard the speech and stopped.


    He suddenly laughed and explained, "Lord Xun was under Cao Cao''s command before. I didn''t know pumpkin was normal. In fact, before I saw the pumpkin, I doubted it. But when you really see it, you will know that what you said is true. Pumpkin is really a gift from heaven. "


    "Seriously?"


    Zhang Liao questioned.


    Yang Shu solemnly nodded his head and said, "nature is true, and there is no falsehood. Two adults are in charge of this. I''ll take you to the field. When you see the pumpkin, you''ll understand. "


    "All right!"


    Xun you nodded.


    He wants to see what kind of food pumpkin is.


    Zhang Liao is also curious.


    They left Luoyang City by carriage and went outside. After about ten miles, the carriage stopped. They got out of the carriage and walked along the mountain road for a quarter of an hour before they came to a beautiful place.


    Here, there are soldiers stationed.


    Yang Shu handed over a sign, introduced the identities of Xun you and Zhang Liao, and took them into the area protected by the soldiers. After walking less than three miles, Yang Shu stopped.


    There are pumpkins all over the mountains and fields.


    The vines of each pumpkin are luxuriant, occupying all corners of the field. Because pumpkins are easy to grow and survive, they are also planted on some steep slopes.


    Pointing to the vast fields, Yang Shu said, "you two, this is just a part of the pumpkin in Luoyang. Throughout Luoyang, most of the fields are planted with pumpkins. "


    Xun you looked around and saw the big leaves one by one, as well as the flowers and bones of the pumpkin.

 Chapter 880

    Yang chuckled and waved: "two adults, follow me to the ground to have a look."


    He took the lead to the ground, along a pumpkin vine, and soon found a pumpkin. The pumpkin looks very good, at least 40 Jin, the whole body has been yellow, began to mature.


    However, to this extent, you can wait a little longer, and then pick it after it is thoroughly cooked. He looked at Xun you and Zhang Liao, pointed to the pumpkin and said, "two adults, this is the gift of Chu - pumpkin."


    "Hiss!"


    When Xun you saw it, he opened his eyes and couldn''t help taking a cold breath.


    What a big pumpkin!


    Xun you had lived half his life and had never seen such a big pumpkin. And the appearance of pumpkin is so strange. He was a little surprised. Can such a big pumpkin be eaten?


    "Gudong!"


    Zhang Liao couldn''t help swallowing his saliva. Seeing such a big pumpkin, he also felt terrible. Zhang Liao''s eyesight was excellent. He stood in the field and glanced around. His eyes were even more surprised.


    He clearly saw that just on this pumpkin vine, there were several pumpkins weighing dozens of Jin. In addition, there are many small green pumpkins.


    We can imagine the yield of pumpkin.


    Xun you also found a lot of pumpkins. He suddenly asked, "Yang you, what''s the yield of pumpkins?"


    Yang said with a smile: "the yield per mu is more than 10000 Jin."


    "What?"


    At this moment, Xun you could no longer restrain his surprise. His heart was beating all the time. He asked incredulously, "more than 10000 Jin? Are you sure? "


    Yang Shu squinted at Xun you, a little funny.


    Is that strange?


    Seeing the yield of pumpkin, Yang Yu is not surprised. He thought that the other party was his own boss and his official position was bigger than himself, so he explained with patience: "the yield of 10000 Jin per mu is the worst estimate. This year, the weather is good, the weather is smooth, pumpkin blossom and fruit, picking again and again, the yield is estimated to be more than 12000 Jin per mu. I said ten thousand catties. I underestimated it. "


    Xun you rubbed his teeth and felt toothache.


    Ten thousand jin per mu!


    The yield per mu is 12000 Jin!


    Such a result is indeed a miracle.


    Xunyou was born in the Xunzi family of Yingchuan. He was a child of a big family. He was well-informed and read a lot of books. Since ancient times, there has never been any food that can yield more than 10000 Jin per mu, let alone 12000 Jin.


    In this era, it''s quite good to have enough to eat.


    The state of Chu suddenly appeared the food with a yield of over ten thousand jin per mu. If it is popularized, there will be no shortage of food for the state of Chu. The people of Chu will no longer be hungry.


    Chu''s national strength will be greatly improved.


    Xun you sighed and had to sigh: "this is really a gift from heaven. The emperor of Chu got the pumpkin, so he has no worries."


    This time, Xun you believed it.


    Anyway, the yield of this pumpkin is shocking.


    Zhang Liao touched the pumpkin and asked curiously, "Yang Shu, how to eat pumpkin? How does it taste? I''m afraid such coarse food is very rough and not very delicious. "


    "No, it''s delicious."


    With a smug look on his face, Yang explained: "pumpkin can be used to make soup, and pumpkin soup tastes sweet and delicious. In addition, it can also be peeled and cooked together with rice, making the rice more sweet and filling the stomach. In short, there are many ways to make pumpkin. This food is a real gift. The most important thing is that after the pumpkin is cooked, it is extremely sweet and delicious. "


    Zhang Liao nodded.


    Looking at the pumpkin everywhere, he sighed no more than his thoughts.


    He was completely convinced.


    Xun you looked at the pumpkin on the ground with a sigh in his heart.


    Heaven does not help Cao Wei, but Liu Xiu!


    How unfair is it to Cao Cao that Liu Xiu got such a sharp weapon as pumpkin? But this kind of thought, Xun you just think about it, will not say.


    Yang looked at Xun you and Zhang Liao, thought about it, and said, "in fact, in the state of Chu, besides pumpkin, there is another gift from heaven, which is also food."


    Xun you was shocked.


    In addition to pumpkin, there are other food?


    Xun you''s mind turned and he was even more curious. He immediately said, "can you take us to have a look?"


    Yang shook his head and said, "I can''t see it for the time being. It''s not the time to harvest. Moreover, there are soldiers patrolling the planting sites, and no people are allowed to get close to them. "


    Zhang Liao said strangely, "what is it?"


    "The next batch of gifts to be harvested is called sweet potato," Yang said. When sweet potato, a gift from heaven, appears, the scene is even more shocking. "


    "At that time, your majesty asked Kuai to prepare ten mu of land."


    "When your majesty stops on the ground, there are green sweet potato seedlings on ten mu of land."


    "Everyone, including Kuai Shoufu, was shocked."


    "That''s the real miracle.""Now, ten acres of sweet potato seedlings are all planted. After transplanting these ten Mu sweet potato seedlings, they became hundreds of Mu sweet potato fields. It is said that the sweet potato harvest is not low, and the yield per mu is at least several thousand jin. "


    There was a touch of pride and pride on Yang''s face.


    This is the pride of being an official of the state of Chu.


    Xun you frowned and said, "I''m afraid it''s impossible for ten Mu seedlings to appear out of thin air."


    Zhang Liao also expressed doubts and some did not believe it.


    With a determined look, Yang said, "this is true. Although I haven''t seen it with my own eyes, Kuai Shoufu, cabinet officials and six ministers have witnessed it with their own eyes."


    Xun you stopped talking.


    Zhang Liao nodded, shocked.


    With a change of the subject, Yang said with a smile, "two adults, after seeing the appearance of pumpkin. Now, I''ll show you the place of registration. Please follow me


    Yang Jia took Xun you and Zhang Liao to leave the pumpkin field and go to the pumpkin collecting places, because there are many pumpkin collecting places in this large area.


    Yang Shu personally took Xun you and Zhang Liao to walk, and made them familiar with all the situations. He also talked about how to put the pumpkin in storage and how to transport it. He told Xun you and Zhang Liao about the whole process.


    A whole set of procedures came down, and a day passed.


    Yang Bi left.


    Xun you and Zhang Liao took a carriage to the house.


    In the carriage, they sat opposite each other.


    The look on both faces was still a little shocked. The next day they came to Luoyang, they thought they were ignored by Kuai Liang, but they soon found out that they were wrong. On the contrary, they were completely suppressed.


    Xun you said with emotion: "Wen Yuan, is Liu Xiu really the master of destiny?"


    "Maybe!"


    Zhang Liao sighed.


    Now, Zhang Liao does not know how to evaluate Liu Xiu.


    After thinking about it, Zhang Liao said: "since Liu Xiu''s rise from Jingzhou, he has been strong in a short time. Even his majesty has repeatedly failed in front of Liu Xiu. Maybe he is really the destiny. "


    Xun you sighed: "well, we have already surrendered to Liu Xiu, who betrayed the state of Wei. It doesn''t help to talk about it any more. Now, we have to deal with the work assigned by Kuai Liang and put the pumpkin in the warehouse. "


    Zhang Liao nodded.


    Where they walk in the daytime, soldiers patrol to prevent people from stealing.


    Thus, it can be seen that the state of Chu attached great importance to it.


    Zhang Liao changed his words and said, "I''m curious about sweet potatoes. I don''t know what happened to the sweet potato mentioned by Yang Shu. How many things are there in the territory of Chu that we don''t know? "


    Xun you said, "one day, you will see clearly."


    Xun you was coerced into submission by Liu Xiu. From the bottom of his heart, Xun you had some opinions on Liu Xiu. But what he saw and heard in Luoyang today shocked Xun you. Xun you in the heart of the pimple, also all disappear, no longer carrying shelf.


    Even Xun you wanted to know more about it.


    Xun you and Zhang Liao chatted about their feelings.


    Before long, the carriage stopped outside their house. They got out of the carriage and said goodbye to each other and went home. Xun you and Zhang Liao''s houses are next to each other, door-to-door, and they are still neighbors.


    The carriage stopped, and they got home.


    They bid farewell to each other and entered their respective houses.


    After a day''s rest, they will be officially on duty tomorrow morning, and they will be busy.

 Chapter 881

    In Luoyang, Xun you and Zhang Liao formally took office, responsible for the collection and storage of pumpkin. Because pumpkins are all over Luoyang, with the maturity of pumpkins, the number of pumpkins collected every day is very large, so they are very busy.


    Every day, there is no time to rest.


    In the substantial work, the two saw the horror of pumpkin production. Each pumpkin weighs dozens of Jin, tens of them are hundreds of Jin, hundreds of them are thousands of Jin.


    The yield of pumpkin per mu shocked Xun you and Zhang Liao.


    The more they came into contact, the more shocked they were.


    In the process of being busy gradually, the conflict between Xunyou and zhangliao to the state of Chu gradually dissipated. This result is exactly what Liu Xiu wants to achieve.


    Liu Xiu sent Zhang Liao and Xun you back to Luoyang for two purposes.


    First, to avoid the embarrassment of Cao Cao.


    Second, through the changes of Luoyang and the miracles of Luoyang, we can win over Xun you and Zhang Liao.


    The changes in Chu state are undergoing great changes for thousands of years. All the miracles and changes were enough to make Xun you and Zhang Liao change slowly.


    When Xun you and Zhang Liao gradually integrated into the state of Chu, Yu Jin, another Wei general who surrendered to the state of Chu, arrived at the front line and was sent to Liu Xiu''s barracks.


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    Dressed in a black robe, Liu Xiushen sat directly above.


    Down there, standing, was sent to Yujin.


    After a long journey, Yu Jin''s clothes were neat, but his face was tired. In particular, he was defeated by Huang Zhong, surrendered in the selection bar, and became a demoted General of Chu. There was great pressure in his heart.


    In a short period of time, Yu Jin''s temples were white, and he was a lot older. He was not as energetic as he used to be, and he was even more dusky and decadent.


    Seeing Liu Xiu, Yu Jin saluted respectfully and said, "the sinner Yu Jin has met the emperor of Chu."


    Liu Xiumian with a smile, said: "General Yu, sit down!"


    In history, Yu Jin was one of the five excellent generals under Cao Cao. However, compared with Zhang Liao, Zhang Yan, Li Dian and others, Yu Jin''s treatment was far different, and his status was not high.


    In fact, compared with Zhang Liao, Zhang Ya and others, Yu Jin defected to Cao Cao very early and was an old man under Cao Cao''s command. When Cao Cao was in Dongjun, Yu Jin surrendered to Cao Cao and became Cao Cao''s army Sima.


    In all previous wars, Yu Jin showed extraordinary ability to lead the army and made continuous contributions. He was respected by Cao Cao and became one of the core generals under Cao Cao''s command.


    However, Guan Yu led the army to flood the seven armies and defeated Cao Jun. After the first World War, pound fought to death, and Yu Jin chose to surrender.


    Surrender became the turning point of Yu ban.


    After hearing about the war in Jingzhou, Cao Cao praised pound for his loyalty and bravery. However, he said that Yu Jin had followed Cao Cao for more than 30 years and was inferior to pound in times of crisis. He thought that Yu Jin''s virtue was not enough.


    In this era, loyalty is one of the yardsticks to measure a general.


    Loyal people will be respected.


    For example, after Liu Bei''s defeat, Guan Yu protected Liu Bei''s family and did not surrender to Cao Cao, but he got Cao Cao''s praise and made Cao Cao love and hate him. In the end, Guan Yu left. Instead of pursuing him, Cao Cao regretted that Guan Yu could not be used by him.


    But Yu Jin''s surrender is different.


    Later, Sun Quan defeated you, captured Jingzhou, and released Yu, who was imprisoned in Jingzhou. After Sun Quan was rescued from ban, Yu ban and Sun Quan rode side by side. Yu Jin was reprimanded by Yu fan, a civil servant of Sun Quan, for he was a prisoner who surrendered and was not qualified to be with Sun Quan.


    It can be seen from this that a surrendering general, no matter how capable he is, is not valued or even despised.


    Later, in order to please Cao Pi, Sun Quan released Yu ban in Jiangdong. After returning to the state of Wei, Yu Jin was ashamed to see others, and he was not reused all his life.


    Now, Yu Jin surrendered to Liu Xiu. If Liu Xiu does not accept Yu Jin''s surrender, Yu Jin will have no place to go, because his reputation will be completely gone at the moment of surrender.


    Those who surrender will be left out when they return to the state of Wei.


    However, it is different to prefer death to death.


    For example, Xunyou and zhangliao defeated Wujun and were captured by Lu Xun and then sent to Liu Xiu. But they would rather die than surrender, and finally they were replaced by Cao Cao, who still got Cao Cao''s attention.


    Liu xiuxinnian turned around and had already made arrangements for the ban. He said, "General Yu, are you willing to serve me?"


    "Yes!"


    Yu Jin didn''t want to answer directly.


    Under the blade of Huang Zhong, he had already surrendered to Liu Xiu. Now Liu Xiu solicits him and takes the initiative to ask. Naturally, he won''t refuse Liu Xiu.


    "Good!"


    Liu Xiu laughed.


    Liu Xiu stared at Yu Jin and said in a deep voice, "General Yu is willing to serve me. Next, he will follow me to see Cao Cao. I''m looking forward to Cao Cao''s look when he sees you submit to me. "


    "AhYu Jin heard the speech and exclaimed.


    For a moment, Yu Jin was on pins and needles. Yu Jin''s face showed a look of shame. As a subordinate, he surrendered to Liu Xiu and betrayed Cao Cao.


    What''s the face of letting him see Cao Cao again?


    Yu Jin swallowed his saliva and asked awkwardly, "Your Majesty, can you..."


    As soon as he spoke, Liu Xiu interrupted directly and said in a deep voice, "is general Yu pretending to be obedient and unwilling to help me?"


    Liu Xiu''s eyes towards Yu Jin were more severe.


    As kings, they all love loyal and righteous officials.


    Cao Cao is like this, and Liu Xiu is no exception. Liu Xiu respected people like Zhang Liao and Xun you who would rather die than surrender, so he gave them preferential treatment and sent them directly to Luoyang.


    In this era, loyal ministers are most admirable.


    Liu Xiu has neither a good feeling nor a bad feeling for Yu ban.


    Liu Xiu will not give up the way that can be used to ban Cao Cao. What Yu Jin thought was no longer under Liu Xiu''s consideration. Since Yu Jin had surrendered, he had to be prepared to face Cao Cao.


    Yu Jin opened his mouth. When he reached his mouth, he swallowed it back. He hesitated for a long time and said, "I''m afraid I''ll delay your Majesty''s important affairs."


    Liu Xiu laughed and said, "with me, everything is not a problem. In a word, would you like to help me destroy Cao Cao


    "Yes!"


    The ban should go down.


    At this point, Yu ban has no choice.


    Yu Jin felt helpless and humiliated. However, Yu Jin didn''t want to die, and he didn''t have the courage to commit suicide, so he would rather swallow his anger and bear Liu Xiu''s drive.


    Liu Xiu smile, said: "you are willing to like, along the way, you are also busy, hard. Go down and have a good rest. Tomorrow morning, follow me to the camp of the state of Wei and meet Cao Cao. "


    "Here it is


    The ban should go down.


    Liu Xiu called the soldiers and led Yu Jin to rest.


    Immediately, Liu Xiu said, "come on!"


    When a soldier came in, Liu Xiu said, "wenpin, please!"


    "Here it is


    The soldier got the order and went to inform immediately. After a while, wenpin came to Liu Xiu''s account.


    Wenpin, dressed in armour and with a sword hanging from his waist, is dignified and dignified. When he saw Liu Xiu, he knelt down on one knee and hugged his fist and said, "I''ve met your majesty, general Wen pin."


    "Sit down!"


    Liu Xiu waved his hand.


    After Wen pin sat down, he looked at Liu Xiu and asked, "Your Majesty has summoned the last general. What can I do for you?"


    Liu Xiu didn''t beat around the bush. He said straight to the point: "Yu Jin was sent to the barracks. I''ve convinced him. Tomorrow morning, I''ll take him to see Cao Cao and give him a surprise. You reorganize the army and go to war with me tomorrow. Yu Jin''s appearance will strike the morale of Wei again. By means of Yu Jin''s surrender, he defeated the army of Wei and ordered Cao Cao to withdraw from Dongjun. "


    Seizing Dongjun is equivalent to seizing Yanzhou.


    At that time, Cao Cao could only retreat to Jizhou.


    After Liu Xiu occupied Dongjun, Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren were attacking Yanzhou, Tai Shici was attacking Yuzhou, Huang Zhong was attacking Xuzhou, and several legions would soon meet in Qingzhou.


    In the end, Liu Xiu''s army went north to Jizhou to defeat Cao Cao.

 Chapter 882

    Wenpin was excited after hearing Liu Xiu''s words. During this period of time, wenpin constantly tried to attack Cao Cao, but Cao Cao''s camp was heavily garrisoned and firmly guarded, which made wenpin helpless.


    Liu Xiu decided to fight again, and Wen pin agreed.


    In particular, Wen pin agreed to take advantage of the surrender.


    As a matter of fact, wenpin also thought about using it to make an issue of surrender, but wenpin thought about it, but he did not dare to say it.


    On the one hand, it is cruel to use Yu ban to stimulate Cao Cao. After all, Yu ban is a demoted general.


    On the other hand, if wenpin proposed, it would certainly offend the ban.


    Today''s wenpin is a great general under Liu Xiu''s command, and he is not afraid of prohibition. But who has not been in trouble for 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi? If he has any problems in the future, it will be very disadvantageous for him if Yu Jin comes down again.


    There is no use for promotion.


    Liu Xiu took the initiative to put it forward, and the situation was different. This is not the problem of literary recruitment.


    Wen pin looked excited and said: "Your Majesty, the general will immediately arrange for the soldiers to polish their weapons and prepare for another fight. We will defeat Cao Cao tomorrow. "


    Liu Xiu chuckled twice, waved his hand and said, "go and be busy."


    "Here it is


    Wenpin turned and stepped down.


    Liu Xiu sat alone in the camp, his face showing a pondering look, muttering to himself: "brother Meng De, you are old, how many blows can you bear? This time, can you stand the blow of the ban


    All along, Liu Xiu has been winning and beating Cao Cao.


    The capture of Zhang Liao and Xun you is a blow.


    Sending pumpkin soup to Cao Cao is a blow.


    It is also a blow to let Cao Cao know that Yu Jin surrendered.


    Cao Cao dreams of defeating Liu Xiu and dominating the world. But all of a sudden, Cao Cao found that he was at a disadvantage and had no chance to win. His idea collapsed. How long can Cao Cao stick to it?


    ¡­¡­


    The camp of the state of Wei, the account of the Chinese army.


    Cao Cao called together Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Sima Yi and other counsellors to discuss the matter.


    Cao Cao looked around the crowd with a solemn look and said slowly, "the pumpkin planted in the state of Chu is quite extraordinary. It''s a very valuable food. During this period of time, Liu Xiu also often brought them, and you all ate them several times. What do you think of pumpkin? "


    For pumpkin, Cao Cao is very concerned about it.


    He called the people under his command to discuss how to get the pumpkin.


    Xun Yu''s mind turned, instantly understood Cao Cao''s intention, and said: "pumpkin is delicious, sweet and delicious. It''s a rare delicacy."


    "According to the news released by Liu Xiu, the per mu yield of pumpkin can reach thousands of Jin, even tens of thousands of Jin. The output was enough to feed Liu Xiu''s soldiers. "


    "With pumpkin, at least Liu Xiu''s soldiers won''t go hungry."


    "Since then, Liu Xiu has no longer worried about food."


    "If Liu Xiu monopolized the production of pumpkin, it would be extremely unfavorable to Wei. He suggested that we should try every means to get pumpkin seeds and then plant them in the territory of Wei


    Xun Jian spoke with great eloquence and solemnly said: "if the state of Wei had pumpkin, we would not be affected by food in the subsequent confrontation with Liu Xiu."


    Cao Cao''s eyes were bright, and he said, "if you know me, it''s Wenruo."


    Cao Cao is not a good person. After Liu Xiu showed the pumpkin, Cao Cao thought about it and wanted to plant it in the Wei kingdom.


    Cheng Yu stroked his white beard under his jaw. He thought for a while and said slowly, "pumpkin is an important grain. I''m afraid it''s not easy to get such strategic materials."


    "No, there''s a way."


    Suddenly, Sima Yi spoke.


    As soon as this remark came out, everyone''s eyes fell on Sima Yi.


    Cao Cao was surprised and said, "what''s Zhong Da''s plan?"


    With Guo Jia''s death, Jia Xu''s obedience to Liu Xiu and Xun you''s capture, Cao Cao''s brilliant counselors became less and less, especially those with overall situation view.


    The importance of Sima Yi is more and more prominent.


    Sima Yi is now a confidant of Cao Cao''s command, responsible for Cao Cao''s documents and other information, and a very important member of Cao Cao''s command.


    Sima Yi took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Cao Cao''s desk respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the news just received. It''s from Luoyang. Because of your Majesty''s call, I haven''t had time to report to you. Please read it. "


    Cao Cao opened the letter and read it.


    After reading it, Cao Cao''s eyes were shining and he said, "the message in the letter is that Xun you and Zhang Liao have already surrendered to Liu Xiu after they were captured. Now they are in charge of the collection and storage of pumpkins in Luoyang. "


    Cao Cao sighed at the surrender of Zhang Liao and Xun you.


    Once, Zhang Liao and Xun you would rather die than surrender, but now they are different. They choose to surrender.With the death of Xia Houdun and others, the general under Cao Cao''s command, Zhang Liao''s importance is self-evident, and he is a general of the military. Now, however, Zhang Liao has turned over to Liu Xiu. Xun you, Cao Cao''s confidant and counselor, also surrendered.


    Cao Cao felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn''t show anything.


    Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi. He immediately figured out the key and asked, "Zhong Da, do you mean to write on Xun you and Zhang Liao?"


    "Your Majesty is wise!"


    Sima Yi arched her hand and answered, with a twinkle in her eyes.


    Cheng Yu was still not optimistic about it. He said: "Zhongda''s idea is good, but you and I know the importance of pumpkin. It''s very difficult to write on pumpkins. Pumpkins, in particular, are very bulky and difficult to transport. "


    Cao Cao stroked his beard and agreed with Cheng Yu. He asked, "Zhong Da, what do you think?"


    All eyes fell on Sima Yi.


    Sima Yi said: "Your Majesty, although there are difficulties, it does not mean that it cannot be completed. As for how to operate, our people have to arrive in Luoyang and get in touch with Xun you and Zhang Liao to determine the final strategy. I suggest that your majesty write to Xun you and Zhang Liao for help. "


    "Xun you and Zhang Liao, although they were subordinated to Liu Xiu. However, his majesty has great respect for them and has the grace of knowing what is right. They are absolutely in love with your majesty. "


    "Especially when they surrendered to Liu Xiu and betrayed his majesty, they must feel sorry for his majesty and have no face to face his majesty."


    "On this premise, your majesty asked them to help, and they could hardly refuse."


    "I think there is something to do."


    Sima Yi said solemnly: "there is no other way now, because we can''t touch pumpkin. Zhang Liao and Xun you can get in touch. This is our only chance. If you don''t ask Zhang Liao and Xun you for help, you can''t succeed. "


    Xun Yu nodded and agreed: "I also agree with Zhongda''s proposal."


    With Xun you''s submission to Liu Xiu, Xun Yu was in an awkward situation. Xun Yu and Xun you are family members and children of the Xun family. Now Xunyou has surrendered to Liu Xiu, which makes Xunyu quite helpless.


    Fortunately, Cao Cao was the wise master, and he didn''t get angry with Xun you because of his affairs.


    Cheng Yu also said: "I agree with you."


    They all agreed to contact Xun you and Zhang Liao.


    Cao Cao considered Sima Yi''s proposal and thought it was feasible. He said, "I also think Zhongda''s plan is feasible. But for such a big thing, we must send someone to contact us, otherwise we can''t succeed. "


    His eyes swept over his men.


    One by one, they lowered their heads and avoided Cao Cao''s eyes. It''s not easy to go to Luoyang for errands. If they are reported by Xun you and Zhang Liao, they will fall into it.


    Therefore, they are not willing to go.


    Sima Yi''s eyes twinkled and she said, "Your Majesty, I''m willing to go. Weichen received your Majesty''s kindness, but failed to share your worries. Now pumpkin is related to the fate of Wei state, and Wei Chen is willing to go. "


    "Good!"


    After listening, Cao Cao showed a smile on his face.


    He is worrying about finding the right person.


    Sima Yi''s willingness to go is the best. Moreover, Sima Yi''s talent is outstanding, smart and intelligent, and Cao Cao can rest assured. Cao Cao didn''t worry that Sima Yi would betray him when he went to Luoyang, because Sima Yi''s family were all in Yecheng.


    Cao Cao immediately ordered the soldiers to write a letter with ink. He handed it to Sima Yi and said, "Zhongda, it''s safe to go to Luoyang. If something can''t be done, return immediately. "


    "Here it is


    Sima Yi bowed her hand.


    For Sima Yi, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages when he went to Luoyang.


    He has two considerations.


    First, when he went to Luoyang to do business, it seemed dangerous, but actually there was no risk. Xun you and Zhang Liao are both Cao Cao''s confidants. Now they have betrayed Cao Cao. They feel guilty and can''t report him.


    Second, after Sima Yi went to Luoyang, it''s OK that she didn''t get the pumpkin seeds back. If we really take back the seeds, we will make great contributions to Wei Guoli and get the reuse of Cao Cao.


    Therefore, Sima Yi volunteered.


    Cao Cao''s face showed a smile. Sima Yi went to Luoyang and solved one of his worries.


    Time was pressing. Without delay, Sima Yi left the Chinese army tent in a hurry and went back to his camp. He left the camp with two soldiers and disguised himself to Luoyang.

 Chapter 883

    In the morning, the sun rises.


    The red sun hung high, giving off a lot of heat.


    In the military camp of Chu state.


    As soon as the soldiers had breakfast, they heard the beating of war drums. Drums rumble, the sound of ordering soldiers to assemble. With the beating of the war drum, the soldiers of Chu state in the camp were equipped with armor, weapons and quickly went out of the camp to gather in the camp.


    In a very short time, wenpin integrated all the soldiers.


    Then wenpin went to the big account of the Chinese army to report to Liu Xiu and asked him to leave with him.


    Today, Liu Xiu is dressed in armour, with a sword hanging from his waist. He and Wen pin got out of the big account of the Chinese army and led the army to Cao Cao''s camp.


    This action, the Wei spies hidden outside the camp, immediately found out, and then quietly got up, immediately went back to report the news.


    When Liu Xiu arrived with the army of Chu, Cao Cao was ready to fight. He had also called the soldiers of Wei to wait at the gate of the camp.


    The two armies are arrayed.


    The soldiers of Wei state line up in the camp, while the soldiers of Chu state under Liu Xiu line up outside the camp.


    However, Liu Xiu did not plan to fight immediately.


    Liu Xiu saw Cao Cao, today''s Cao Cao, although hale and hearty, but already white temples, more Twilight color.


    The hero is dying!


    Cao Cao is old.


    As soon as Liu Xiu patted the horse''s back, he immediately moved forward and stopped forty steps away from the Wei camp. At the same time, around Liu Xiu, Chu soldiers formed a circle to prevent Liu Xiu from being attacked.


    Liu Xiu took a breath and said in a loud voice, "brother Meng De, you are much older when we meet again. The pumpkin soup I gave you is delicious. Is it delicious? "


    When Cao Cao saw Liu Xiu, he could not lose the battle.


    Liu Xiu dares to step forward, so does he.


    Cao Cao patted the horse on the back and drove the horse out. He went out of the camp and stopped twenty steps away from Liu Xiu. Around Cao Cao, Xu Chu led the soldiers to protect him from being attacked.


    Cao Cao held his head high and was very proud. He said in a loud voice, "pumpkin soup is really delicious, and it''s appetizing and invigorating. It''s not only edible, but also a good medicine. If you can send the pumpkin seeds, I will be very grateful to you. "


    "My dear brother, what is the most fundamental purpose of our expedition? It''s for the people of the world to live a good life, so that they don''t suffer from hunger and cold. "


    "Now, you have planted pumpkins in the territory of Chu and gained a good harvest. The people of Chu are no longer hungry."


    "However, under the rule of Wei, there are still countless people starving."


    "Even if I do my best to open up farmland, or even let soldiers garrison, there are still people who can''t take care of. After all, the state of Wei did not have such food as pumpkin, so the yield could not be improved. "


    "However, if you can see that the people of the state of Wei are starving and give the seeds to the state of Wei so that I can plant them in the territory of the state of Wei, then the people of the state of Wei will be grateful to you."


    Cao Cao a mouth, is sharp words, he asked: "brother, what do you mean?"


    "Ha ha ha..."


    Liu Xiu couldn''t help laughing.


    Cao Cao is old and hot. He is cunning.


    Inside and outside the story, he was kidnapped by morality and asked to give pumpkin seeds.


    If you really give it to Cao Cao, it''s like beating a dog with a bun.


    Liu Xiu shook his head and sighed: "brother Meng De, if I really give you pumpkin seeds, let you plant them in the territory of Wei. I''m afraid the people of the state of Wei are grateful not to me, but to you, the emperor of the state of Wei. "


    "Even, in front of the people, you will publicize how much effort and cost you have spent to get pumpkin seeds, so that the people will be grateful to you."


    Liu Xiu said with disdain, "how can I not know brother Meng De''s routine?"


    Cao Cao stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "my dear brother misunderstood me. This is to treat a gentleman with the heart of a villain. I, Cao Cao, was born in heaven and earth. Faith comes first. I''m not such a person. "


    Liu Xiu said, "you are such a person."


    "Alas..."


    Cao Cao sighed with a helpless look.


    Immediately, Cao Cao continued: "my brother does not trust me so much. I owe you to be my confidant. Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, although you and I are enemies and hostile, I always regard you as my confidant in my heart. "


    Liu Xiu said with a light smile: "I have always regarded brother Meng de as my confidant, and more importantly, brother Meng de as my elder brother."


    Cao Cao said: "in that case, why not give pumpkin seeds?"


    Cao Cao''s face, with a smile.


    Before the battle between the two armies, there was a battle between generals and also a battle of strategy. Now that he talks with Liu Xiu, it''s a contest of wisdom. He wants to beat Liu Xiu in words.


    Liu Xiu laughed and continued: "brother Meng De, in fact, it''s not impossible to plant pumpkin seeds for the people of Wei."


    "Seriously?"


    Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and looked happy.


    But at this time, Cao Cao was more alert. Cao Cao knows Liu Xiu. He is very cunning. The more at this time, the more vigilant he is, and he can''t relax.Therefore, Cao Cao played a twelve point spirit response.


    Liu Xiu smile, not impatient said: "in fact, it''s very simple, brother Meng de give up power, submit to me. Then, there will be no more fighting in the world, and the people will no longer suffer from war. "


    "In this way, I took out the pumpkin seeds of the state of Chu and let the people of the state of Wei plant them."


    "Pumpkin blossoms and bears fruit in the state of Wei. After a good harvest, people in the state of Wei will no longer be threatened by hunger."


    "Brother Montessori, what do you think?"


    Liu Xiu''s face was full of smiles. With one word, he cracked Cao Cao''s moral kidnapping.


    Without waiting for Cao Cao to speak, Liu Xiu continued: "for the sake of the stomach of the people of Wei, for the sake of the people of Wei to get rid of hunger. Brother Meng De, I believe you will sacrifice your ego to help the people of Wei. "


    "I also believe that brother Meng De is a man who loves the people like a son. For the sake of the people of Wei, you are willing to give up power, because you are not a man who is greedy for power."


    "What do you say? Brother Meng de. "


    Liu Xiu said: "as long as brother mengde is willing to give up the power of Wei, I will share the world with you. When you come to the state of Chu, I will make you king and let you govern the world with me. "


    Cao Cao couldn''t help but want to curse his mother, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.


    Damn Liu Xiu!


    Sure enough, Liu Xiu is not easy to deal with.


    Cao Cao wants to be taken to Liu Xiu. He kidnaps Liu Xiu with people. It''s a pity that Liu Xiu even treated him in his own way and also used the common people to kidnap Cao Cao morally.


    For a time, Cao Cao''s plot was punctured.


    On the contrary, he was in trouble.


    Cao Cao reacted very quickly and immediately said, "my dear brother, your character is not good. How can I believe you? Of course, as long as you take out the seeds first and prove your sincerity, I will be willing to remove the imperial title and become an official in the great Chu. "


    In front of Liu Xiu, Cao Cao will not give in.


    If Liu Xiu gave him pumpkin seeds, he would take them directly.


    As for Liu Xiu''s obedience, it''s all in the future. He won''t admit it.


    Liu Xiu tut tut twice, said: "brother Meng De, your character is not so good. How can you make me believe you? I gave you pumpkin seeds, but in the end, you didn''t carry out your promise. What should I do? Therefore, you have to submit to me first, and then I will distribute the pumpkin seeds to all the people of the state of Wei for cultivation. "


    Cao Cao did not agree.


    Liu Xiu fought back again.


    Two people you come and I go to the verbal confrontation, who do not give in, who want to force each other a head.


    After all, it''s hard to tell the difference.


    Liu Xiu and Cao Cao bickered for a long time, but he couldn''t persuade Cao Cao. As soon as his words changed, he said, "brother Meng De, you are so stubborn that you are helpless. That''s all. I don''t want to entangle with you. Now, I''ll show you a man. "


    "Who?"


    Cao Cao''s eyes narrowed, with an alert look in them.


    Liu Xiu said, "Yu Jin, come out."


    As soon as the voice fell, Yu Jin, one of the soldiers in the rear, rode out. At the moment when Yu Jin appeared, Cao Cao''s body froze and his eyes suddenly widened. His old face was full of incredible expression.


    Cao Cao and Liu Xiu have been fighting against each other, and they will not let themselves lose to Liu Xiu. But at this moment, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.


    Yu Jin surrendered to Liu Xiu?


    However, Yu Jin is the general he arranged in Xuzhou and the commander in chief of Xuzhou.


    How can Yu Jin surrender?


    Cao Cao''s heart, suddenly flustered up, his face is full of puzzled expression, and unbelievable. Rao is Cao Cao took two deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, but also lost.

 Chapter 884

    Liu Xiu looked at Cao Cao''s face with a look of loss and a smile on his face. Sometimes, the most fatal blow to a person is not the failure again and again, but the destruction of the belief in his heart.


    Such is the case with Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao was born in troubled times. His rise was based on his bones and experienced countless wars. Along the way, Cao Cao experienced both great victories and disastrous defeats.


    However, Cao Cao never said he was defeated or discouraged.


    Even when he was frustrated, Cao Cao was able to adjust quickly. Because Cao Cao believed in his ability, he had enough confidence, and he believed that there were a group of loyal and capable people under his command.


    The surrender of Yu Jin disheartened Cao Cao.


    Yujin is Cao Cao''s confidant. In Cao Cao''s eyes, Yujin is steady, loyal and good at defense. Therefore, Cao Cao stationed in Xuzhou to guard the South Gate of Wei state.


    However, Yu Jin surrendered to Liu Xiu.


    In the past, Jia Xu used to be Zhang Xiu''s counselor, but Cao Cao, with his own charm, convinced Jia Xu and made him return. Cao Cao also entrusted a heavy task to Jia Xu, but Jia Xu finally surrendered to Liu Xiu.


    Zhang Liao, like Xun you, is also Cao Cao''s confidant, and now he is also subordinate to Liu Xiu.


    Today, even the ban is the same.


    Cao Cao''s henchmen all surrendered one after another, which made him doubt himself. At this point, can he really resist Liu Xiu''s attack? Can we keep the territory of Wei?


    Cao Cao doubts himself!


    The expression on Cao Cao''s face is even more difficult to hide.


    Liu Xiu felt sorry when he saw this scene. However, he would not have any pity, let alone let Cao Cao go. Battle on the battlefield, either you die or I die. If Liu Xiu showed mercy, he would be unfair to the state of Chu, to the generals and the people of Chu.


    Therefore, Liu Xiu did not intend to let Cao Cao off.


    Take advantage of his illness and kill him.


    When Cao Cao was weak, he had to take advantage of victory to pursue.


    Liu Xiu''s face was solemn and said, "Yu Jin, Cao Cao is here. You can have a word with Cao Cao. I believe you know how to say it. I don''t need to teach you such a simple thing. "


    "Here it is


    Yu Jin''s expression is bitter.


    As a demoted general, a man who betrayed Cao Cao. It is undoubtedly extremely ironic that he wants to speak to Cao Cao. But this can not be refused by Yu ban. He stepped forward two steps, looked at Cao Cao, then turned over and dismounted, and bowed respectfully to Cao Cao.


    This ceremony is a respect for Cao Cao.


    Yu Jin took a breath and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the state of Chu and the state of Wei have been fighting for years, and the state of Wei has been defeated many times. Now, we don''t want to fight any more. The state of Chu has the absolute upper hand. The state of Chu will win and the state of Wei will lose. A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good minister chooses his master. He is more optimistic about the state of Chu and can no longer serve his majesty. Please forgive me. "


    He said that he was your majesty, but he no longer recognized Cao Cao.


    After hearing this, Cao Cao''s face turned red. At this moment, Cao Cao hated the ban. You just surrender. You humiliate the state of Wei in front of all the soldiers.


    This made Cao Cao angry.


    When Liu Xiu heard Yu Jin''s words, he also laughed. Yu Jin was sincere enough. According to Liu Xiu''s idea, Yu Jin met Cao Cao, and when he spoke, he estimated that he would play the edge ball.


    On the one hand, he explained to Cao Cao why he had to surrender and excused him.


    On the other hand, it is the destiny of Chu.


    But Liu Xiu didn''t expect that Yu Jin, in front of Cao Cao and the soldiers of the state of Wei, directly said that the state of Wei would be defeated. Such words came from the mouth of ban, and the blow to Cao Cao can be imagined.


    Liu Xiu took the chance and said in a loud voice: "brother Meng De, the destiny is in Chu, not in Wei. If you resist again, it''s just days of resistance. You can only kill yourself. Zhang Liao and Xun you surrendered to Chu, and Yanzhou became the treasure of Chu. Yuzhou was captured by taishici, and the capture of Yuzhou is just around the corner. Yu Jin surrendered to Huang Zhong in Xuzhou, and Xuzhou can''t keep it. "


    After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "the state of Wei is in a state of rout, and it can''t stop the army of Chu. You are old. Why bother? For yourself, for the generals of the state of Wei, for the people of the state of Wei, surrender. "


    The words of bewitching came from Liu Xiu''s mouth.


    His voice was very loud. As soon as he said it, it caused a commotion in the military camp of the state of Wei.


    As a matter of fact, the soldiers of the state of Wei did not know the war situation in Yuzhou and Xuzhou. According to Liu Xiuyi, we know that Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou have all been defeated. People are worried and nervous.


    Cao Cao''s face is constantly changing.


    At this moment, Cao Cao was unwilling.


    Cao Cao has been fighting for half of his life. He has been fighting and advancing all his life. Fight to now, just have the foundation of Wei state, let him give up everything to submit to Liu Xiu, Cao Cao can''t do, more unwilling. Cao Cao clenched his fist, and his face turned red. He tried his best to roar: "Liu Xiu, I won''t admit defeat."


    Strong words came from Cao Cao.


    "Sonorous!"Cao Cao pulled out his sword, pointed it at Liu Xiu, and ordered: "the sons of the state of Wei, kill them!"


    With an order, the soldiers of the state of Wei on standby in the camp rushed out. Cao Cao stood in the same place, motionless, watching groups of Wei soldiers pass him and rush toward the Chu army.


    Liu Xiujian Cao ordered to attack, not angry but happy, but also ordered: "kill!"


    In a flash, the soldiers of the state of Chu came up and soon passed Liu Xiu to meet the soldiers of the state of Wei.


    The two sides fight and explode.


    Huang Hu and shamoke, as the pioneers of the Chu army, were both murderers. One with a drum jar and a gold hammer, the other with a Tribulus terrestris, led their own soldiers to fight.


    They are fierce generals on the battlefield, just like killing gods, extremely ferocious.


    When the soldiers entered the Wei state, they quickly penetrated and continued to penetrate.


    "Cao Cao, take your life!"


    All of a sudden, there was another shout on the battlefield.


    Sound like thunder reverberates on the battlefield. In Liu Xiu''s army, a general in white robe, bright silver armor and a golden spear with a tiger head rushed out and went straight to Cao Cao.


    This man is Ma Chao.


    Ma Chao has always been obsessed with Cao Cao. He wants to eat his flesh and sleep his skin. He wants to kill Cao Cao and avenge his father and brother. Now Cao Cao in front of the army, Ma Chao saw Cao Cao, saw the opportunity to revenge, he naturally did not want to let go.


    "Those who stand in my way will die!"


    Ma Chao drove his horse into the battle, shouting. He swung his golden gun and kept waving it. Either sweeping, or stabbing, or smashing, every shot killed, took the lives of Wei soldiers.


    Ma Chao''s killing power is completely released, just like a demon God coming into the world.


    "Hoo


    Hu touzhan''s golden gun sweeps away the soldiers of the state of Wei in front of him.


    Ma Chao spurs his horse forward. Time is not long, he rushed to the front of Cao Cao, less than ten steps away from Cao Cao. At this time, Ma Chao got excited. The enemy is in front of him, and his revenge is just around the corner. Just as Ma Chao kept rushing forward, Xu Chu killed him directly.


    Xu Chu stopped Ma Chao''s way. His eyes were sharp and he roared, "ma''er, Xu Chu is here. Don''t be rampant."


    The sword swung up and suddenly fell.


    "Dang!"


    Blade and spear impact, in an instant, sparks everywhere.


    Both of them are first-class masters. This battle is very difficult to separate. When Xu Chu and Ma Chao fought each other, Cao Cao did not rush back to the camp of the state of Wei. This scene, so that Ma Chao canthus to crack, hate teeth.


    A great opportunity has been missed.


    Ma Chao was angry, venting his anger and fighting with Xu Chu.


    When the two men fought, the fighting between the soldiers of Wei and Chu became more intense. The soldiers of Wei state were brave, but the soldiers of Chu state were in high morale, rushing wave by wave.


    In particular, shamoko and Huanghu, the two killing gods, broke through the camp of the state of Wei like a sharp cone on the battlefield, constantly led the soldiers forward and entered the camp of the state of Wei, making the soldiers of the state of Wei at a disadvantage.


    For a time, the morale of Chu soldiers was like a rainbow.


    The soldiers of the state of Wei resisted and attacked, but the attack was gradually suppressed.


    The fighting is still going on, time is passing by.


    The morning passes quietly.


    At noon, Liu Xiu didn''t order to stop the attack and let his Chu soldiers continue to fight. This is a rare opportunity. Liu Xiu wants to take this opportunity to defeat Cao Cao''s camp.

 Chapter 885

    Time passes in a hurry, afternoon time, fleeting.


    The sun is going to the west, and the sky is getting dark.


    At this time of fighting, the soldiers of the state of Wei and the state of Chu were tired. After all, they had been killing for a whole day and never stopped.


    However, compared with the low morale of the soldiers in Wei state, the soldiers in Chu state were crazy, as if they could not feel hunger and fatigue, and they rushed forward one by one.


    Up to now, the army of Chu has broken through the camp of Wei, killed all the troops and occupied the advantage. On the contrary, the soldiers of the state of Wei, tired of resistance, began to retreat, unable to stop the attack of the state of Chu.


    Chu soldiers excited, only one angry and lost.


    This man is Ma Chao.


    Over the years, Ma Chao has been thinking about revenge. Now it''s not easy to see Cao Cao and have a chance to revenge. But just when he wanted to kill Cao Cao, he killed Xu Chu on the way, blocking his way and making Cao Cao retreat calmly.


    Because of Xu Chu''s obstruction, Ma Chao lost Cao Cao''s direction.


    Now, we can''t see the trend of Cao Cao, and we don''t know where he is hiding. When Ma Chao and Xu Chu fought, they were both excellent at martial arts. No one could do anything about them.


    Ma Chao failed to defeat Xu Chu, and neither could Xu Chu.


    The situation is very anxious.


    After killing for such a long time, they consumed a lot of physical strength and gradually became tired. Their energy was not as good as before. The spirit of fighting has dispersed a lot. Xu Chu realized that the situation was unfavorable to the state of Wei, especially when he saw a large number of Wei soldiers retreating. He thought that he could not delay with Ma Chao any longer.


    With a low drink, Xu Chu summoned up all his strength, and suddenly swung out his long sword, chopping twice.


    The blade is sharp. Look for life.


    Ma Chao quickly waved his gun to resist, but just when Ma Chao resisted, Xu Chu looked for an opportunity to withdraw and no longer entangled with Ma Chao. The situation is unfavorable. If Xu Chu continues to pester, he will not be able to get rid of Ma Chao in the end.


    Xu Chu retreated, and so did the tiger and leopard soldiers.


    Just as Xu Chu turned and retreated, in front of Xu Chu, a huge figure suddenly appeared. The man galloped his horse and went straight to kill Xu Chu.


    "Xu Chu, take your life!"


    Thunder like sound, suddenly sounded in the battlefield, shock people eardrum pain. Around the visitors, no one dares to approach them, and they all avoid them.


    Here comes Huang Hu.


    Xu Chu saw the yellow tiger, eyes wide, eyes full of dignified look. He had a look of fear on his face. It was like a mouse meeting a cat. It was a natural fear.


    It''s not that Xu Chu is afraid of Huang Hu, but that his martial arts are really a little worse and he can''t defeat Huang Hu. Xu Chu fought with Huang Hu several times, but he was defeated by Huang Hu every time. He couldn''t win at all.


    Today''s Xu Chu, after fighting with Ma Chao, is not in the peak state. At this time, I''m afraid I can''t make it through ten moves to fight with Huang Hu.


    However, Huang Hu''s urgent and direct killing could not be avoided by Xu Chu.


    In a hurry, there is no escape.


    "Mr. Xu Chu, take the call!"


    Huang Hu gave a low drink, and the golden hammer in his hand suddenly hit Xu Chu. The huge hammerhead passed in the air and fell with a roaring sound, just like the top of Mount Tai, filled with endless pressure.


    At this moment, Xu Chu could not escape.


    Xu Chu looked helpless, he had to resist.


    Xu Chu summoned up all his strength and clamped the horse between his legs. With the help of the horse''s strength, he twisted his waist, clenched his teeth, grasped the handle of the knife with both hands, and lifted the tripod to the top.


    "Dang!"


    The hammer hit the handle of the knife, and the sound shook the eardrum.


    The violent collision made the two weapons bear strong anti shock force. Under the impact of the anti shock force, the golden hammer of the drum jar rebounded and bounced in the air. The handle of the knife in Xu Chu''s hand was humming and trembling, and his palms were numb and painful.


    A face-to-face, Xu Chu in the downwind. It is really that Xu Chu and Ma Chao have been fighting for a long time. They have consumed countless physical and mental strength and are no longer at the peak.


    Huang Hu is not the same. Huang Hu is in his prime of life and is at his peak. Even though he has consumed physical strength, Huang Hu is stronger, stronger and more energetic. His strength has not been weakened much.


    At the moment when the golden hammer of the drum jar was shaken up in the air, Huang Hu grinned. He clenched the handle of the hammer and showed his white teeth in his mouth. He said, "Xu Chu, take another hammer!"


    With the help of the anti earthquake force, Huang Hu made another effort. The golden hammer of the drum jar suddenly turned in the air, fell down again, and hit Xu Chu with a rapid momentum.


    "Xu Chu, Ma Chaolai!"


    Just as the golden hammer of the drum jar fell, Ma Chao''s cry came from behind Xu Chu.


    Xu Chu was dragged by Huang Hu, and Ma Chao killed him again.


    At this time, Xu Chu was in a dilemma. Especially in the face of Huang Hu''s golden hammer, he didn''t have time to avoid it, and he didn''t dare to neglect it. Even if he knew that Ma Chao was coming, he would fall into the trap, but Xu Chu had to resist, first blocking Huang Hu''s attack.Holding the numbness of his palm, Xu Chu clenched the handle of the knife, and once again swung the knife toward the drum urn and the golden hammer.


    "Dang!"


    The weapons collided.


    The great power burst out in an instant.


    The golden hammer of the drum jar flies upside down, but Huang Hu drags it in his hand, but Huang Hu is not affected at all. However, Xu Chu was different. Under the tremor of his powerful force, his tiger''s mouth was directly torn, and the red blood overflowed out and soaked the handle of the knife.


    He wanted to suppress the flying sword, but the power of Huang Hu''s attack made Xu Chu''s blood boil. The more repressed Xu Chu was, the more his body was attacked, the more his Qi and blood rushed down, and his face flushed.


    "Poof!"


    Xu Chu''s blood spewed out directly.


    In a flash, his heart, as if a breath away, the whole person in this moment, become a lot of weak.


    "Xu Chu, fall down!"


    A shout suddenly came from behind Xu Chu.


    The golden spear flashed out like a long stick and hit Xu Chu on the back. Xu Chu''s blood was vomited by Huang Huzhen and his five zang organs were injured. Now there was another thunderbolt on the back, and "poof" gushed out another mouthful of blood. He fell directly from the horse to the ground without breathing, and he fainted.


    This shot was shot by Ma Chao.


    When he stealthily attacked from the rear, he could pierce Xu Chu''s heart with one shot, but it was more suitable to capture Xu Chu alive, so Ma Chao changed his shooting method and knocked Xu Chu unconscious with one shot.


    Ma Chao looked at Huang Hu and said with a smile, "General Huang, I''ve fainted. I''ll give it to you. I''ll go after Cao Cao."


    Huang Hu took a puff from the corner of his mouth.


    It is clear that he defeated Xu Chu. With one more blow, he can easily capture Xu Chu. But Ma Chao put in a foot and knocked Xu Chu unconscious, which made Huang Hu very upset. Huang Hu did not say much. He ordered the soldiers to catch Xu Chu, then turned the horses into battle, and continued to kill Cao Cao''s army.


    At this time, the soldiers of the state of Wei were already defeated.


    Countless soldiers of the state of Wei kept retreating.


    Standing in front of Cao Cao, Xun Jian looked at the decadent situation and suggested: "Your Majesty, we are defeated, we can''t stop it. Because of the news of Yu ban, plus we gave up defense and chose to attack in an all-round way. In this war, we have to retreat. "


    Cheng Yu said: "Your Majesty, withdraw!"


    The crowd began to speak and suggested to retreat.


    Up to now, it''s hard to resist the military front of Chu.


    Cao Cao listened to the shouts of killing around him, watched the soldiers of the state of Wei retreat and fell to the ground one by one. He was very depressed and sighed: "order, withdraw!"


    The order to withdraw soon passed on.


    Cao Cao led Xun Yu and Cheng Yu to retreat quickly.


    This time, we were in a lot of hurry. Because no one expected that Liu Xiu could work hard to defeat the defense of Wei camp. Therefore, the grain stored in the camp can only be left behind and cannot be taken away.


    The soldiers of the state of Wei retreated in an all-round way. Liu Xiu looked at them with a smile.


    Cao Cao is defeated!


    The failure of this war laid the foundation for the situation that the state of Wei was defeated like a mountain.

 Chapter 886

    On a summer night, the moon is like a disk.


    On both sides of the road, there are chirping insects and birds in the forest.


    The cold night, without the noise and heat of the day, should be the most comfortable time of the day. But Cao Cao''s heart, but how can not calm down, because he was defeated.


    The defeat was like a mountain.


    In the evening, his camp was broken down and had to retreat.


    When the Wei army retreated, the soldiers of the state of Chu chased and killed all the way, which made the soldiers of the state of Wei break up. They fled, died and were defeated.


    Tens of thousands of troops were destroyed.


    Now Cao Cao''s side has less than 10000 elite soldiers.


    Even though he got rid of the cover up of Chu army, he was defeated in this war. Especially in this war, his confidant General Xu Chu disappeared and failed to keep up. According to the soldiers, Xu Chu was defeated by Huang Hu and captured alive.


    According to Cao Cao''s character, he believed that Xu Chu would rather die than surrender. But with the lessons of Zhang Liao and Xun you.


    Now, Cao Cao is not sure.


    No matter Zhang Liao or Xun you, they are the absolute confidants of Cao Cao. Even so, Zhang Liao and Xun you surrendered to Liu Xiu and collected pumpkin for him.


    As clever as Xun, you have become a traitor, let alone Xu Chu. Therefore, Cao Cao is unable to determine whether Xu Chu will eventually submit to Liu Xiu. However, Xu Chu''s capture made Cao Cao depressed.


    Liu Xiu was defeated in the first battle of Dongjun.


    In addition, Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren in Yanzhou will join hands to sweep the whole of Yanzhou. Together with the respective armies led by Tai Shici and Huang Zhong, the whole territory of the Central Plains will fall into Liu Xiu''s pocket.


    Such a large-scale failure was fatal to the state of Wei.


    And that''s not the most important thing.


    The most important loss is the surrender of Yu Jin, Zhang Liao and Xun you, which shakes the foundation of Wei. When this news is sent back to Yecheng, it will inevitably lead to great turbulence, which will make the officials of the state of Wei floating in their minds.


    Cao Cao can foresee that there will be a lot of people and Chu secret communication.


    In the past, when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought a decisive battle in Guandu, before Xu you defected to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was short of food and troops, so he was in danger. Because Xu you defected at the last moment, Cao Cao could come back from the dead and reverse the war situation.


    However, when the situation was unfavorable, many of Cao Cao''s officials wrote to Yuan Shao, indicating that they were willing to accept Yuan Shao as the main leader. Now that the situation repeats itself, I''m afraid that all the officials in the state of Wei will want to make a good relationship with Liu Xiu and prepare to go to Liu Xiu.


    Cao Cao sat alone and didn''t talk to anyone.


    When Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others spoke to each other, Cao Cao did not answer at all.


    This situation worries Cheng Yu.


    Cheng Yu was an old official under Cao Cao. Seeing that Cao Cao was in a state of depression, he could not help but persuade him to say, "Your Majesty, although we are defeated in this battle, we are not completely defeated. Under his Majesty''s command, there are Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou. There are four states in the world. Under such circumstances, your majesty is fully capable of fighting again and has a chance to defeat Liu Xiu again. "


    When Cao Cao''s eyes heard this, he didn''t even lift his skin. He didn''t say a word, as if he was numb.


    Cheng Yugan is worried, but he has no way.


    Finally, Cheng Yu sighed and stopped talking.


    All the people sighed in their eyes.


    At this time, Cao Cao raised his head, looked at the crowd and said, "have a rest. Have a rest for one night. Tomorrow morning, we will withdraw to Yecheng and stick to Jizhou."


    In a word, it is full of helplessness and frustration.


    Cheng Yulian said: "Your Majesty..."


    As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Cao Cao''s hand. He only heard Cao Cao say: "Mr. Zhong De, I don''t want to say anything, that''s all. Take a day off and start early tomorrow. "


    "Here it is


    Cheng Yu stopped talking.


    Seeing this, everyone went to have a rest.


    When Cao Cao''s men were resting, Liu Xiu''s army had returned and counted the results.


    When the news came to Liu Xiu''s desk, Liu Xiu was very excited. This battle is not only to defeat Cao Cao, but also to capture tens of thousands of Wei soldiers, and kill countless Wei soldiers.


    Most importantly, Xu Chu was taken by Huang Hu.


    "Somebody, bring Xu Chu up."


    Liu xiuphen said.


    The soldiers soon escorted Xu Chu into the camp. Xu Chu was bound. He looked up at Liu Xiu, glared at him, and said: "Liu Xiu, Zhang Liao, they betrayed the state of Wei, but I won''t, I won''t obey you."


    Liu Xiu sighed: "Zhongkang, why are you suffering?"


    Xu Chu raised his head and said with a loud voice: "it''s the right way to die for the general to die immediately. Even if I''m killed by you, it''s my destiny. It''s impossible for you to make me submissive. "


    Liu Xiu said with a smile, "what if I declare that you surrender to me? What would Cao Cao think? "Xu Chu said, "your majesty will believe me."


    With a faint smile in his mouth, Liu Xiu said, "Jia Xu has obeyed me, Zhang Liao and Xun you have obeyed me, and Yu Jin has surrendered. Will Cao Cao believe you at this time? If there were no officials of the state of Wei who were obedient to me, Cao Cao would believe you. But Cao Cao has experienced so many betrayals, he is not the former Cao Cao. After I release the news, Cao Cao will not believe you. "


    Xu Chu''s heart thumped, and he agreed with Liu Xiu''s words. However, Xu Chu is tough said: "Liu Xiu, these are not important."


    Liu xiudao: "Oh, what''s important?"


    Xu chulang said: "the important thing is that I would rather die than surrender than be loyal to your majesty. No matter what you do, I will not surrender. Even if you let out the news of my surrender and make your majesty angry with me and my family, I will not surrender to you. No matter whether your majesty misunderstands me or not, I am a general of the state of Wei. From beginning to end, I can only be a minister of Cao Cao. "


    Liu Xiu frowned when he heard the speech.


    Compared with Xun you and Zhang Liao, persuading Xu Chu was not easy. Xu Chu, a military general in the battlefield, is loyal and has a single brain. This situation makes Liu Xiu feel thorny.


    Liu Xiu sighed: "Zhongkang, why do you need it?"


    Xu Chu said, "loyal officials are not the two masters. Since I am your Majesty''s general, I can''t surrender."


    Liu Xiu was silent.


    In the face of Xu Chu''s attitude that oil and salt did not enter, Liu Xiu had nothing to do. Xu Chu would rather bear the name of surrender, rather his family be angry by Cao Cao, than betray Cao Cao, respectable and admirable.


    Such a person is admirable.


    But Liu Xiu had no choice for such a man who was determined to die.


    Liu Xiu thought about it, and then he was relieved. Xu Chu was not willing to surrender because Cao Cao was still alive. Liu Xiu put Xu Chu in custody for the time being. When Cao Cao was killed, who else could Xu Chu be loyal to?


    Liu Xiu said, "come on!"


    The soldiers came in and saluted respectfully.


    Liu Xiu said, "take Xu Chu down and watch him. Don''t let him escape."


    "Here it is


    The soldier went down with Xu Chu.


    Liu Xiu stretched out and stopped dealing with official business. Nowadays, wenpin is worried about military affairs, and Liu Xiu is quite relaxed.


    The next morning, the army continued to advance.


    Wenpin did not advance rashly, but advanced steadily and captured all counties in Dongjun. After seizing the whole Dongjun and stabilizing the rear area, wenpin dispatched his army to Jizhou.


    Dongjun is located in the north of Yanzhou, bordering Jizhou.


    Through Dongjun, the army of Chu had been able to directly enter Jizhou and reach Yecheng.

 Chapter 887

    In September, Cao Cao returned to Yecheng and stationed in Jizhou. As for Liu Xiu, he did not enter Jizhou immediately. Instead, he made steady progress. His troops were constantly harvesting cities and consolidating their achievements.


    In Yanzhou, Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren sent troops and captured the whole Yanzhou.


    In Yuzhou, taishici captured the whole of Yuzhou.


    Xuzhou and Qingzhou were won by Huang Zhong and Lu Xun.


    Almost all the major states in the world are under the control of Liu Xiu. After seizing the States, Yingchuan academy taxis were continuously sent to various places to preside over the administrative affairs of each county, so as to win over all the places.


    To a great extent, this arrangement has stabilized the situation and consolidated the existing achievements.


    All the troops went north and finally gathered outside Jizhou.


    In addition to recuperation, we also need to reorganize the army, digest the prisoners, and precipitate the achievements.


    Now, Liu Xiu has become the general trend.


    As a result, Cao Cao lost countless hearts. In addition, Liu Xiu himself was born in a clan, and his family name was Liu. His identity occupied great justice. When his soldiers arrived in Jizhou, they did not encounter any resistance, and everything went smoothly.


    On this day, in the barracks.


    The big account of the Chinese army.


    In Liu Xiu''s camp, Wen pin, Xu Shu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan, Tai Shici and others were called to discuss the matter. Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren and Tai Shici all joined up with Liu Xiu. Only after Huang Zhong captured Qingzhou, he stationed his troops in the plain state of Qingzhou and prepared to cut into Jizhou from the east of Jizhou.


    Liu Xiu looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "have you all recovered?"


    Wen pin restrained his excitement and said: "I''ll tell your majesty that everything has been put in order. After nearly two months'' rest, all our soldiers have been reorganized and the recruits have been properly arranged. "


    Zhao Yun said, "Your Majesty, we can fight again."


    Zhang Ren said, "Your Majesty, please order."


    During this time, Zhang Ren reorganized his army. Although most of the recruits are recruits, Zhang Ren''s army has been reorganized, and he is no longer a bare commander.


    Taishici said: "Your Majesty, we have been waiting for a long time, and finally we have come to the day of decisive battle with Cao Cao. The unification of the world is around the corner. At the end of the day, we will take the request as a vanguard and lead the troops directly to Yecheng. "


    One by one, all of them were in high spirits and asked to take part in the war.


    The chief generals of all the legions want to fight for the credit of eliminating Cao Cao. In their view, after the unification of the world, the war will gradually disappear. Without war, it is impossible to make contributions.


    For the generals, most of the credit was obtained during the war. Once the world is at peace, the role of generals will be weakened a lot. You can fight the world right away, but you can''t rule it right away. In the Taiping period, civil servants played a major role.


    Ma Chao said, "Your Majesty, please be a pioneer."


    For Cao Cao, he always wanted to revenge. In the past, Liu Xiu sent him to sneak into the rule of Cao Cao, intending to incite rebellion in Cao Cao''s belly and disturb Cao Cao''s rear. Unfortunately, Ma Chao did not succeed. On the one hand, Ma Chao was not an expert in this field; on the other hand, under Cao Cao''s rule, officials were all capable people.


    After the failure, Ma Chao pulled back in the middle of the way and took office under Liu Xiu. Now the decisive battle is around the corner, Ma Chao wants to be a pioneer and fight to the death with Cao Cao.


    Liu Xiu looked at all the people and saw that they were all in awe. He knew that in the last battle, all the people under his command wanted to participate in such a prosperous age.


    He can understand people''s thoughts.


    Liu Xiu glanced at Wen pin and ordered, "Wen pin, listen to the order!"


    "The end will be here!"


    Wenpin stood up and saluted.


    Among all the people, wenpin was the first to follow Liu Xiu, who was a veteran of the state of Chu.


    Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "in the last battle, you are the chief General of the whole army. Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren and Taishi Cixie help you. The four legions work together to reach Yecheng and seize the capital of Wei. As for Huang Zhong, he ordered Huang Zhong and Lu Xun to speed up the attack on Jizhou. "


    "Here it is


    Wenpin is excited to respond.


    It''s a great honor for him to be the leader. When Wen pin got the order, he immediately began to perform the duties of the chief General and gave the order of marching one by one. In the last battle, Zhao Yun was the vanguard, followed by wenpin, Zhang Ren and taishici.


    The army is moving, mighty and fierce. When wenpin led his troops north to Jizhou, the news that he ordered Huang Zhong to send troops soon spread to Pingyuan state.


    Plain country, plain county.


    The place where Huang Zhong was stationed.


    Huang Zhong got the order to send troops, and immediately sent someone to invite Lu Xun over.


    Huang Zhong stroked his long white beard under his jaw and said, "Bo Yan, your Majesty''s order has come. Let''s attack Jizhou as soon as possible. Next, I was going to go directly north to attack Bohai County in Jizhou. What''s your plan? "


    Lu Xun led an army alone and was not dispatched by Huang Zhong. Therefore, Huang Zhong didn''t ask Lu Xun to come. He asked Lu Xun what he was going to do.Lu Xun said with a smile, "general, let''s cooperate again."


    "How to cooperate?"


    Huang asked.


    Huang Zhong believes in Lu Xun''s ability. Lu Xun was a young man, but when it comes to managing the army and government affairs, he was a rare talent.


    Huang Zhong also admired such a person.


    Lu Xun said without hesitation: "it''s not a difficult thing to go northward from the sea road in the east of Pingyuan country to the hinterland of Jizhou. After all, this is in Jizhou and will not enter the deep sea. I plan to attack Xuzhou again. The general will move his troops northward and attack from the front. I''ll lead my troops by sea to the rear of Bohai county. At that time, the two armies of you and me will join together and capture Bohai Sea. Then, we will go to Ye City in the west to join your majesty. "


    "Good!"


    When Huang Zhong heard the speech, he also had a smile on his face.


    In fact, the advantage is not only cooperation, but also no conflict.


    Huang Zhong wants to make contributions, so does Lu Xun.


    Only to attack the eastern part of Jizhou, two legions were used, which can be said to be a bull''s knife to kill chickens. Now the two soldiers, one by land and the other by sea, can not only complete the joint attack, but also perform their respective duties.


    When Huang Zhong and Lu Xun acted separately, the pioneers led by Zhao Yun were invincible and went straight to Yecheng.


    All the way, no one can stop.


    The news soon spread to Yecheng and Cao Cao.


    Today''s Cao Cao is old. In a short period of two months, Cao Cao''s hair was gray, and he seemed to be ten years old. In the face of Liu Xiu''s attack, Cao Cao was depressed. He didn''t know how to counterattack and was helpless.


    In particular, Liu Xiu waved his troops to the city, and Cao Cao could not stop him.


    Even if Cao Cao arranged for Sima Yi to go to Luoyang, Sima Yi''s role was negligible. Even if Sima Yi got pumpkin seeds, it would not be very useful.


    Because Liu Xiu is about to come down.


    Cao Cao ordered the soldiers to summon their generals to the main hall. When the crowd gathered together, Cao Cao looked at the officials under his command and said in a deep voice, "Liu Xiu is leading an army into Jizhou and is coming to kill people in Yecheng. According to the latest news, Eastern Jizhou has also been attacked by General Huang Zhong under Liu Xiu. Jizhou is in danger. What do you suggest? "


    In the hall, there was a lot of noise.


    There was a lot of discussion, and their faces were full of panic.


    Liu Xiu came, how to resist?

 Chapter 888

    Today''s state of Wei is no longer as powerful as it used to be.


    The surrender of Zhang Liao, Zhang Ya, Jia Xu, Xun you and Yu Jin aggravated the panic of Wei officials and led to the floating of people''s minds. The faces of these officials are full of fear. They are worried about the destruction of their country and their families, and they are even more worried that they have no place to stand. In the face of Liu Xiu''s strength, even Cao Cao was depressed and disheartened, let alone they.


    Cao Cao listened to the comments of the officials in the court, but he didn''t see any one come out to speak. He was even more agitated in his heart and yelled, "shut up


    When they heard this, they immediately kept silent.


    A pair of eyes, fell on Cao Cao''s body.


    Cao Cao''s eyes swept the crowd and said once again, "Jizhou is in crisis. Wei is in danger. What do you think?"


    "Your Majesty, I have my own music!"


    Suddenly, a loud voice came out. It''s not other people who speak, but Yang Xiu, Cao Cao''s master.


    When the crowd did not speak, Yang Xiu stood up.


    Yang Xiu bowed respectfully to Cao Cao and said, "Your Majesty, in today''s situation, Liu Xiu''s momentum has become irresistible. If he could resist the Chu army, Wei Chen was willing to take the lead. However, in the first battle of Dongjun, even General Xu Chu was captured by Liu Xiu. In such a decadent situation, how to resist? Your majesty, I suggest Kaesong surrender. "


    WOW!!


    The court was in an uproar.


    One by one, the officials talked again, and the hall was like a vegetable market. When people looked at Yang Xiu, they all felt that Yang Xiu was dead. It was really bold of Yang Xiu to persuade Cao Cao to surrender in front of Cao Cao.


    "Come on


    Suddenly, there was a loud voice. As soon as the voice came out, it suppressed the voice of the officials in the court.


    In an instant, soldiers came in.


    It was Cao Pi, the prince of the state of Wei.


    At the moment, Cao Pi''s eyes were murderous and his eyes were fixed on Yang Xiu. He said angrily, "Yang Xiu, you are a corrupt scholar. You dare to bewitch people. You should be punished for your crime."


    After a pause, Cao Pi continued: "my father''s kindness to you is as heavy as a mountain, and I am more grateful to you. In the face of Liu Xiu''s attack, your knee is soft. You have to surrender to Liu Xiu. Good, very good. Prince Ben will send you on the road first. After defeating Liu Xiu and killing him, you will be reunited in the underworld. "


    The officials looked at Yang Xiu again.


    What will Yang Xiu do at this time?


    The expression on Yang Xiu''s face remained unchanged, and he said without any impatience: "prince, I have made it very clear just now. If the troops of the state of Wei could stop Liu Xiu, he would be more willing to take the lead. "


    "The problem is that the state of Chu is aggressive, and the state of Wei is powerless to fight back. What can the prince do to resist?"


    "Just shouting slogans?"


    "Anyone can shout slogans, but in fact, there is no chance of winning at all. In all previous battles with Liu Xiu, Cao Ren died, Xia Houdun died, Xia Houyuan died, Li Dian died, with countless casualties. "


    "Now, Xu Chu has also been captured."


    "All the civil and military generals of the state of Wei died on the battlefield, or surrendered to Liu Xiu and worked for him. In today''s situation, who can be the leader? Who can strategize against Liu Xiu''s army? "


    Yang Xiu''s eyes were burning and his words were sharp. He said: "in this war, Liu Xiu mobilized wenpin, Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Huang Zhong and Lu Xun''s forces. There were five armies to kill Ye City, facing such a strong attack. Is it possible for the prince to resist just by his mouth? When the prince wants to kill Wei Chen, he has nothing to say but to die. "


    Cao Pi was so angry that he ordered: "come on, bring it down to me and behead it to the public! If there are any more persuaders, kill them! "


    When the soldiers came forward, they would carry Yang Xiu out.


    Yang Xiu took a look at the speechless Cao Cao, sneered twice, brushed his sleeve, raised his head and said, "don''t stand, I can go by myself." Without any hesitation, he turned and went out. Seeing this, the soldiers went out with him.


    At this moment, all officials were silent.


    One by one, there was a trace of fear and worry in Cao Pi''s eyes.


    Yang Xiu said that if he surrendered, he would be killed. They dare not speak again.


    "Wait!"


    Just at this time, a hoarse voice sounded, and Cao Cao, who had never spoken, began to speak. Cao Cao''s eyes fell on the soldiers and said, "all of you, step back!"


    "Here it is


    The soldier bowed and turned back.


    Yang Xiu turned to bow to Cao Cao and said, "Your Majesty."


    Cao Cao''s voice was hoarse and he said slowly, "Yang Qing, do you really think you can''t stop Chu?"


    Yang Xiu said solemnly, "Your Majesty knows the state of Wei best. His majesty also knows the strength of Chu. In today''s world, Liu Xiu is a great military strategist. He wins by surprise and is invincible. And so is your majesty, who is also proficient in the art of war and knows the situation. "


    "Your Majesty should know that the state of Wei can''t stop Liu Xiu."


    "In the past, your majesty and Yuan Shao fought and fought. Although your Majesty was at a disadvantage, there were many talented people under your Majesty''s command, including Guo Jia, Xun you, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and other counsellors, Xu Chu, Cao Ren, Xia Houdun, Zhang Liao and other generals fighting, and Guan Yu helped each other.""These are the reasons for your Majesty''s victory."


    "However, the most important reason is that Yuan Shaogang is self willed, lenient, and not a master."


    Yang Xiu talked about it calmly and said: "the reason why your majesty can defeat Yuan Shao, unify Hebei, and pacify the north, 40% of the reason lies in your Majesty''s wise decision, and 60% of the reason lies in Yuan Shao''s mistake."


    "It''s hard to use Yuan Shao today if he is not stubborn."


    "Today, even though his majesty is the wise master, Liu Xiu is also cunning and ferocious. In particular, Liu Xiu''s military generals are like clouds, his advisers are like rain, and his influence is far beyond Yuan Shao. "


    "In the situation of great disparity in strength between the two sides, Liu Xiu, with the general trend, was able to steadily advance step by step and encroach on the state of Wei. Liu Xiu is not Yuan Shao. He can''t make Yuan Shao''s mistakes. "


    "If Liu Xiu is a man like Yuan Shao, his majesty will be able to turn the tide. But his majesty and Liu Xiu are both enemies and friends. They know Liu Xiu''s situation like the back of their hands. They should be aware of Liu Xiu''s strength. "


    Yang Xiu long body Yiyi a ceremony, zhengse way: "in the downwind of Wei, can''t stop the soldiers of Chu."


    Every sentence, like a knife, poked in Cao Cao''s heart.


    Cao Cao''s face changed again and again.


    Cao Cao has to admit that Yang Xiu''s analysis is reasonable.


    In the past, Cao Cao was able to defeat Yuan Shao because of his own command and the original strategy of the counselors. But even though Cao Cao did his best, he was in trouble in the end. If it had not been for Yuan Shao''s mistake, which led to Xu you''s betrayal and Cao Cao''s sneak attack on Yuan Shao''s granary, there would have been no Cao Cao today.


    Facing Liu Xiu, Cao Cao was very weak.


    With the continuous development of Liu Xiu, his influence became stronger and stronger, and he even showed his miracles repeatedly and got the help of heaven. The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more unwilling he felt. Not reconciled at the same time, but also increasingly depressed.


    "Hoo! Hoo


    Cao Cao''s breathing became more rapid, and his face was flushed. As soon as his throat was sweet, he puffed out a mouthful of blood, and then he sat down, very weak.


    Seeing this, Cao Pi rushed up with an arrow.


    Cao Pi came to Cao Cao''s face, helped Cao Cao, and said in a murderous way: "Yang Xiu bewitches people with evil words, so we should punish him! Please order to kill this Liao. This man was bribed by Liu Xiu. "


    Yang Xiu looked disdainful and said, "I am honored by your majesty. I am loyal to the state of Wei. I have not been bribed by Liu Xiu. I''m just telling the truth. If the prince doesn''t listen to the advice, it''s OK. If the prince wants to kill him, I have nothing to say. "


    "You..."


    Cao Pi was very angry.


    He wanted to speak again, but Cao Cao stopped him. Cao Cao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and leaned against Cao Pi. Then he summoned up his spirit and looked at Xun Yu. He said with a straight face: "Gongda, what do you think?"


    Xun Yu is a wise man who can judge the current situation. Instead of persuading Yang Xiu to surrender, he solemnly said, "I am willing to follow your majesty and fight to the end until the last moment."


    What is revealed in the words is that they are not optimistic about the next World War.


    Xun Yu also believed that he would be defeated.


    How clever Cao Cao was, when Xun Yu said it, he understood Xun''s judgment. Cao Cao sighed in his heart, turned his eyes, looked at Cheng Yu and said, "what do you think of Zhong De Gong?"


    Among all of you, Cheng Yu has always dared to remonstrate and was more loyal to Cao Cao. Cheng Yu white haired, zhengse said: "I swear to follow your majesty."


    In a word, it also reveals endless pessimism.


    Cao Cao looked at Chen Qun and asked, "Chen Qing, what do you think?"


    Chen Qun was silent and replied, "Your Majesty, I agree with what master Yang said. Today''s situation can''t be stopped. For the sake of his majesty and the people of the state of Wei, I agree to surrender. "


    Chen Qun comes from the Chen family in Yingchuan, and is a member of a large family. Although Chen Qun was loyal to Cao Cao, at this time, the state of Wei was unable to hold on any longer.


    Therefore, Chen Qun has to consider for his family.


    When Cao Pi listened to Chen Qun''s words, he was also furious and kept Chen Qun in mind.

 Chapter 889

    Cao Cao said nothing.


    He didn''t get angry, nodded slightly, turned his eyes to Liu Ye, and solemnly asked, "Liu Qing, what do you think?"


    Liu Ye is the descendant of Liu Yan, the son of Liu Xiu of Emperor Guangwu and the king of Fuling. Liu Ye was young and well-known. He was known as Zuo Shicai. He was a very important counselor under Cao Cao.


    However, because of Liu Ye''s family background, his situation is somewhat embarrassing.


    Cao Cao asked, but Liu Ye hesitated.


    After half a sound, Liu Ye replied, "I will follow your majesty to the death, and I will fight to the end with your majesty."


    After all, he is a person surnamed Liu. At this time, it is more appropriate to show his attitude to follow Cao Cao. If you are like Yang Xiu, I''m afraid it will cause Cao Pi''s anger and attack. Yang Xiu was born in Hongnong''s Yang family. He was covered by a long family. Even if Cao Cao wanted to deal with Liu Xiu, he had to think twice. Liu Ye is different, he has no backing, can only choose to wear a pair of pants with Cao Cao to fight to the end.


    Cao Cao chuckled and shook his head.


    Liu Ye''s consideration is obvious to him.


    However, Cao Cao did not ask Liu Ye again. Liu Ye''s attitude is enough. Cao Cao also asked his officials one by one for their opinions. Some officials in the DPRK are willing to fight to the death, some persuade them to surrender, and some are silent


    But after Yang Xiu started, many people persuaded him to surrender.


    No matter who surrendered or did not surrender, no one was optimistic about the state of Wei.


    Everyone, it''s the same.


    Cao Cao looks at Cao Zhang standing in the hall. Cao Zhang is very brave in armor. This dress made Cao Cao very happy. Cao Cao laughed and asked, "zhang''er, what do you think?"


    Cao Zhang said: "without him, there is only a fight to the death."


    Cao Cao nodded and his eyes turned.


    Some people are willing to fight to the death, others are willing to surrender, but his lineage supports the fight to the death.


    Cao Cao thought about it and said, "pi''er!"


    "My son is here!"


    Cao Pi stood up and knelt down in front of Cao Cao.


    With sharp eyes, Cao Cao said, "from today on, you will be in charge of the military and political affairs of the state of Wei. When you are in Yecheng, I allow you to deploy troops and organize soldiers to resist the Chu army. However, it is not allowed to offend those who raise objections today. "


    "My son, obey the order!"


    Cao Pi''s eyes glistened with fine light.


    As long as ye city is guarded and Liu Xiu''s army is blocked, the state of Wei will have a chance to breathe. And through this war, his prestige can be completely established.


    In the hall, the ministers were relieved. Cao Cao''s last command actually protected them and enabled Cao Pi to resist again.


    "Retreat!"


    Cao Cao gave a command and trembled to go to the back palace.


    When Cao Pi was in power, he United Cao Zhang and other generals, and Xunzhou and other generals, and began to deploy troops and deploy the defense of Yecheng. Cao Pi took advantage of those who were willing to fight to death, but Cao Pi didn''t do anything to persuade them to surrender at the ceremony, but he arranged soldiers to watch them to avoid collusion with Liu Xiu.


    The whole power of Yecheng was mobilized by Cao Pi.


    At the end of October, the weather is getting colder and colder.


    The vanguard led by Zhao Yun arrived at Yecheng first. Without saying a word, Zhao Yun directly sent people to attack Yecheng. However, Yecheng is the capital of the state of Wei. Moreover, Cao Pi was well prepared and had a strong defensive force.


    Even if Zhao Yun took a strong attack, he did not win Yecheng and was always blocked outside. Although the morale of the state of Wei was low, all the strength of the state of Wei was placed in Yecheng, which could resist Zhao Yun''s attack for the time being.


    On this day, it snowed.


    It''s snowing all over the north.


    Inside and outside the city, there was a lot of white, falling into a frozen world.


    At this time, the armies led by Liu Xiu also arrived in Yecheng. Several armies were close to the city, and Liu Xiu chose to encircle Yecheng with three and one. Because of the freezing weather and the heavy snow, Liu Xiu did not rush to attack, but set up camp outside the city.


    Although it was winter, the weather was cold, but there was an endless supply of food and clothing from the rear, and the soldiers of the state of Chu were not cold. In particular, pumpkin has achieved a good harvest, and is being used in the military on a large scale, reducing the pressure of food consumption.


    Time flies by.


    In a flash, more than a month has passed,


    in December, the weather is colder and the heavy snow has never stopped. This year''s heavy snow is bigger than ever, and the whole world is covered with snow. Such a cold winter puts great pressure on the soldiers inside and outside the city. Although the soldiers of the state of Wei were in the city, they had to patrol after all, which was also very difficult. Especially when they are trapped in Yecheng, their morale is low, and they are under great pressure.


    On the contrary, it was the Chu army outside the city. Although they met the cold winter, their morale was strong.


    After all, they have witnessed miracles many times.


    On this day, the Chinese army has a big debt.


    In Liu Xiu''s camp, there are braziers burning with coals. Liu Xiu sat in front of the brazier, baking the fire, looking at the book. During this period, because of the weather, it was not conducive to siege. Liu Xiu did not order the attack. The army was stationed for the time being to launch the attack after the Spring Festival."Step on it! Step on it


    A sound of footwork came in from outside the camp.


    Wenpin strode in with a bright smile on his face and said, "Your Majesty, good news!"


    "What''s the good news?"


    Liu Xiu put down his book and looked up.


    After Wen pin saluted, he sat down in front of Liu Xiu and reported: "just now, the first harvest of sweet potatoes came from Luoyang. Your Majesty''s ten Mu sweet potato seedlings, planted in all parts of Luoyang, are now harvested on a large scale. Although there was heavy snow this year, the soldiers reported that the sweet potato harvest was very good and was not affected by the heavy snow. It''s another miracle that Chu can still have a good harvest in this year''s weather. "


    Wenpin later learned about sweet potato seedlings.


    As for Liu Xiu, he was like a God.


    With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "if you peel the sweet potato, you can cut it into small pieces and cook it in the rice. Similarly, it can be roasted. Now that the sweet potatoes have been sent, you tell the people in the fire room to roast them in the fire. They all choose a dozen sweet potatoes. After they are roasted, they are cut and distributed to the soldiers in the army. We must ensure that all soldiers can have sweet potatoes. "


    "Here it is


    Wenpin was ordered to go down immediately.


    Liu Xiu also had a smile on his face.


    With sweet potato, it means that Chu has another strategic material.


    Half an hour later, wenpin came in with a few sweet potatoes, all baked and warm. Liu Xiu took it and peeled off the crunchy skin to reveal the red heart inside.


    A refreshing fragrance filled the tent.


    Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Wenqing, do it yourself. Don''t sit around."


    Liu Xiu said a word and ate sweet potato.


    In later generations, this is a very common food. But this is the first time that Liu Xiu ate it in his life. It''s a memorable experience. Especially sweet potato sweet crisp soft, and pumpkin flavor is different, eat very comfortable.


    Wenpin swallowed his saliva. He picked up a sweet potato, peeled off the scorched skin, and ate it. Eating sweet potatoes, I feel very happy.


    In winter, it''s the happiest thing to eat the gift.


    When they were eating sweet potatoes, the tent curtain was lifted and Xu Shu came in again. Seeing that Liu Xiu and Wen pin were eating, Xu Shu said with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, some of the soldiers have also eaten sweet potatoes. When they learn that this is a gift from your majesty, their morale is greatly boosted and they are full of confidence."


    "In this winter, sweet potato is a gift from heaven, which is of great help to our morale."


    "Weichen suggested that, just like pumpkin, we should prepare a batch of them, then heat them with charcoal fire and send them to Cao Cao. This article is bound to strike Cao Cao again. It would be great if Cao Cao was completely disheartened. "


    Xu Shu continued: "now it''s snowing all over the sky, and the soldiers of Wei state under Cao Cao are suffering. Let''s add another fire to ensure that their morale will be low and they will not have the mind to resist any more."


    Liu xiuxiao said: "Yuanzhi, last time, you actively opposed it."

 Chapter 890

    Xu Shu said with a smile, "I want to learn from your majesty. We give some sweet potatoes to Cao Cao. It doesn''t matter. But the harvest is very good. "


    Liu xiudao: "accurate, you arrange."


    "Here it is


    Xu Shu left the big account of the Chinese army and went down to make arrangements.


    Soon after, a figure in a cloak, under the wind and rain, carrying a food box left the camp. This is a big food box, not an ordinary one. The food box is divided into upper and lower layers. The lower layer is made of iron, and charcoal is put inside to maintain the temperature. In the upper layer, there are only six sweet potatoes, baked with fire charcoal, so that the sweet potatoes are not cold.


    The man who went to Yecheng was a civil servant in the army. His name is Liang Xi. His official position is not big, but he is quite eloquent.


    He wore a cloak, a shallow one deep in the snow.


    With the efforts of the boss, Liangxi finally came to the gate of Yecheng. He came to the tower, looked up to the tower, said in a loud voice: "I am the envoy of the emperor of Chu. I''d like to see the emperor of Wei."


    The soldiers on the tower heard the cry and immediately reported it to Cao Zhang.


    During this time, Cao Zhang lived and ate in the city tower.


    As soon as he got the news, he did not dare to delay and sent someone to the palace to report it. Soon after, a servant came out to take Liu Xiu''s envoy into the palace. Cao Zhang also wanted to see what Liu Xiu was up to. He asked Liang Xi about his intention. When he learned that Liang Xi had come to give Cao Cao a gift, he immediately thought of the pumpkin Liu Xiu had given him at the front line.


    "Is there a gift?"


    In Cao Zhang''s heart, he was suspicious and thought that Liu Xiu could not have new food. He followed NEISHI and Liangxi into the palace, and Cao Pi soon got the news and rushed over.


    Cao Pi looks at Cao Zhang and asks him what''s the matter. He learns that Liu Xiu has sent him new food and is on guard.


    When they entered the palace, they met Cao Cao.


    It''s very cold in the palace. Fortunately, there is a charcoal fire burning, dispelling the chill, but it is not cold. But it''s very hard for Cao Cao in winter. Today, Cao Cao is getting older day by day. In the past few months, he has become much older.


    Cao Cao asked, "what did Liu Xiu send you for?"


    Liang Xi replied humbly: "report back to the emperor of Wei. My emperor sent me here to give food to the emperor of Wei. This time, the food is also a gift from the emperor. It''s called sweet potato. "


    With these words, Liang Xi handed the food box up.


    The waiter took the food box and came to Cao Cao.


    Cao Zhang said in a deep voice, "father, be careful. What if there are organs inside?"


    Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "No


    For the food Liu Xiu sent, he understood Liu Xiu''s intention and wanted to use it to attack him. Just when Cao Cao saw sweet potato, he thought of Xu Chu. Once upon a time in the military camp, Liu Xiu sent someone to bring pumpkin soup. For his safety, Xu Chu tried pumpkin soup first.


    But now, there is no Xu Chu.


    Cao Cao took the food box, opened it and saw the hot sweet potato inside. Cao Cao picked up one, which was still warm and comfortable in his hands.


    Liang Xi explained: "Wei Huang, this is a baked sweet potato. Peel off the skin and eat. The taste of sweet potato is also crisp and sweet, which is different from pumpkin. "


    Cao Cao nodded and pulled away the skin.


    In an instant, a refreshing fragrance filled my heart. When Cao Cao smelled it, his mouth moved. Looking at the sweet potato''s heart, he felt more comfortable after taking a bite. He nodded his head and said, "yes, it''s a rare delicacy."


    Cao Cao ate one and handed the remaining sweet potatoes to Cao Pi and Cao Zhang.


    After eating, they looked rather embarrassed.


    Sweet potatoes are delicious.


    However, this is Liu Xiu''s, not theirs.


    Cao Cao wiped his mouth, looked at Liangxi and asked, "what I want to ask is, how much sweet potato is produced per mu? Is it easy to survive? "


    Before Liang Xi came, he had been ordered by Xu Shu. He knew the yield and situation of sweet potato. He held his head high and said: "this kind of sweet potato can yield more than 8000 Jin per mu. Not only that, sweet potatoes are extremely easy to survive. This batch of sweet potatoes has just been collected from the snow. Although the snow continued, but did not affect the sweet potato harvest


    "Hiss!"


    When Cao Pi heard the speech, he took a cool breath.


    Eight thousand jin per mu!


    And it was collected from the snow.


    Is this kind of food really a gift? Otherwise, how can we survive in the heavy snow.


    Cao Zhang disdains a way: "eight thousand jin, you really can talk and laugh."


    Liang Xi glanced at Cao Zhang with a firm and disdainful look. He said sarcastically, "you don''t understand. Don''t doubt it. It''s a gift from heaven. It''s a gift from heaven. Is the yield of eight thousand jin per mu much? Pumpkin can reach more than 10000 Jin. This is not surprising. It''s only you who think it''s weird. "


    Cao Cao did not speak, but his face was even more depressed.


    Eight thousand jin per mu!God is really unfair, God helps you, Liu does not help Cao!


    Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "I know. Go back and thank Liu Xiu for me."


    "Here it is


    Liang Xi turns and leaves.


    In the hall, Cao Cao, Cao Pi and Cao Zhang are in the hall.


    Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi with a low breath and asked, "Pi Er, what do you think when you see that Liu Xiu has taken out sweet potatoes again


    When Cao Pi heard the speech, he looked bitter.


    Today, there are more than 100000 soldiers and countless officials in Yecheng. The whole Yecheng city consumes a lot of food every day. For Yecheng, it is a great burden.


    On the contrary, it was Liu Xiu, first pumpkin, then sweet potato. Either way, Liu Xiu would not worry about food. In particular, the appearance of this kind of gift will boost the morale immeasurably. The impact on them is also incalculable.


    Cao Pi sighed and said, "what my son can do is fight to the end."


    Cao Cao said: "according to Liu Xiu''s style, the next step is to arrange people to sneak into Yecheng, and then publicize the advantages of sweet potato in Yecheng, causing an offensive of public opinion. At that time, the morale of the people in the city was low, and they all supported Liu Xiu. What should you do? "


    Cao Pi said: "Whoever opposes, the minister will kill him!"


    Words are full of killing intention.


    Cao Cao said, "if you kill someone, you will be in Liu Xiu''s heart. At that time, the people will be boiling and panic. How can you suppress it? If too many people are killed, the army will also be affected. "


    "Is there no way?"


    Cao Pi looked at Cao Cao with a helpless look in his eyes.


    At this point, Cao Pi was helpless.


    Cao Zhang stood aside and did not speak. He was only responsible for fighting. Because everything in the army is carried out by Cao Zhang. Cao Zhang knew that the Chu state was powerful, and that the Chu army had all kinds of weapons, such as crossbows, which were not easy to deal with.


    It''s hard to resist Liu Xiu!


    Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "I have thought a lot these days. This is the general trend of the world and it cannot be changed. Just as Yang Xiu said, Liu Xiu is not Yuan Shao who is lenient and taboo, nor Yuan Shu who is big and brainless, nor Dong Zhuo who is arrogant and arrogant. He will not kill himself. Under such circumstances, we will lose. I want to win a future for you and let the Cao family have a place to live and have their own. "


    Cao Pi eyebrows a pick, way: "father emperor want to do what?"


    Cao Cao said: "I ask you, can you really stop Liu Xiu''s army?"


    "No!"


    Cao Pi shook his head and expressed his inner thoughts.


    The reason why he went all out to resist was that he was not willing to be deprived of power. Once he surrendered to Liu Xiu, he became a prisoner and could no longer enjoy his present rights.


    Cao Cao nodded and said: "since you have no way, I will deal with it next. I''ll take care of everything, and I''ll make arrangements for you brothers. "


    Hearing this, Cao Pi looked puzzled.


    He didn''t understand Cao Cao''s intention.


    Before Cao Pi could ask, Cao Cao asked them to step down. Cao Cao, sitting alone in his study, wrote a letter with his pen dipped in ink, and then called Xun Yu.


    Cao Cao handed the letter to Xun Yu and said, "Wenruo, go to Liu Xiu''s camp immediately. As long as Liu Xiu agrees to the conditions in the letter, I promise to open the city and surrender. "

 Chapter 891

    Xun Yu asked: "is it really amazing that he is ready to surrender?"


    In Xun Yu''s heart, he did not believe it.


    Is it true that Cao Cao is thinking about giving up? Then wait for the opportunity to counter attack.


    Cao Cao noticed Xun Yu''s expression, gave a bitter smile, and explained: "this time, I really want to surrender. I don''t want to wait for an opportunity to fight back. Whenever there is a chance, I will not choose to surrender. "


    " up to now, I have no choice. "


    "For the sake of my family, the foundation of the Cao family and your future, I have to do this."


    Speaking of this, Cao Cao continued: "really, if there is a chance to defend Yecheng and defeat Liu Xiu, I will fight to the end. However, Liu Xiu is not Yuan Shao ah, Liu Xiu has become a general trend, more God''s favor, under the command of many civil and military generals. Now I have to make a choice. "


    "Yes, I do!"


    Xun Yu was carrying a letter. He understood Cao Cao''s mind. Cao Cao really wanted to surrender. Xun Yu left the palace and came to the gate of the city. When he was ready to leave, he was stopped by Cao Zhang.


    Cao Zhang looked at Xun Yu and asked, "what are you doing out of town, sir?"


    Xun Yu said, "Your Majesty sent his ministers as envoys of the state of Wei to meet Liu Xiu in the military camp of the state of Chu."


    Cao Zhang said, "what will father Huang do?"


    Xun Yu said, "Your Majesty is ready to open the gate and surrender."


    "Ah


    Cao Zhang''s face was solemnized, and he said: "it''s absolutely impossible for the emperor to surrender. The sons of the Cao family are not cowards. They would rather die than surrender to Liu Xiu. "


    Xun Yu said: "Cao Cao is not short of blood son Lang, your majesty always feel great comfort. But his majesty said that he chose to surrender for the future of the Cao family and for the Cao family to have a foothold. "


    In a word, Cao Zhang was dumb.


    After all, Cao Cao surrendered for them.


    Cao Zhang did not ask any more. He told the soldiers to open the gate and send someone to escort Xun Yu away. When Xun Yu came to the military camp of the state of Chu, he was soon taken to the camp by the soldiers and met Liu Xiu.


    Liu Xiu gave Xun Yu a cup of hot tea and said with a smile, "Wenruo, we meet again. Come to see me today. What do you want from brother Meng de? "


    Xun Yu took out the letter and said, "this is your Majesty''s letter. Please have a look at it."


    Liu Xiu took it over, opened it and looked at it again. He was also surprised. He said with a straight face: "Cao Cao is going to let Cao Pi take Cao''s family away from the Central Plains to go overseas. He stays alone. Hey, Cao Cao is so kind-hearted


    After hearing this, Xun Yu understood immediately.


    This is the arrangement of Cao Cao. What Liu Xiu is afraid of is Cao Cao. As long as Cao Cao stays, the people of Cao''s family can leave safely. Only in this way can Liu Xiu feel at ease.


    Xun Yu said, "as long as the emperor of Chu agrees, your majesty will open the gate and surrender."


    "Sure!"


    Liu Xiu nodded in agreement.


    Liu Xiu had no opinion that Cao Cao was willing to surrender. As for Cao Pi and others going abroad, Liu Xiu did not intend to stop them. It''s a good deal to win the state of Wei with no blood.


    Moreover, it is not easy to get a foothold overseas.


    Cao Pi and others have gone, and the road ahead is bumpy.


    Liu Xiu looked at Xun Yu and solemnly said, "Wenruo, tomorrow morning, I will take the army outside the city and wait for Cao Cao to fulfill his promise. As long as Cao Cao opens the gate and surrenders, I promise to let the Cao people leave the Central Plains. "


    "Good bye!"


    Xun Yu got Liu Xiu''s reply and left. Back in the city, Xun Yu didn''t dare to delay. He rushed to the palace and told Cao Cao Liu Xiu''s reply. After hearing Xun Yu''s words, Cao Cao called Cao Pi and Cao Zhang and told them the next arrangement.


    Then, Cao Cao said, "there are soldiers in the state of Wei. You can mobilize the soldiers who are willing to leave and go to the overseas slave countries to have a foothold. I''m in the Central Plains, so Liu Xiu won''t do anything to you. When you get there, it''s up to you. "


    "My father, my son will not leave. My son would rather fight to the death."


    Cao Zhanghong looked into her eyes and cried.


    Cao Pi choked, with a solemn look on his face.


    Cao Cao shakes his head and smiles, and says freely: "if you say anything to children, the future of Cao''s family will be left to your two brothers as fathers. PI ER was good at planning and could control the whole situation. Zhang''er is good at fighting and is a veteran in the battlefield. If you two brothers work together, you will be able to stand on your feet. Although Liu Xiu is cunning, he is a believer. Since he has promised me, he will not go back. You''re going to get ready today and make arrangements to leave. "


    Cao Zhang and Cao Pi were still reluctant to give up, but they were both expelled by Cao Cao.


    Xun Yu also left.


    Cao Cao sat alone in the hall, his face full of nostalgia, did not expect him to have this day. But all this is irreparable.


    A day goes by.


    In the early morning of the next day, the battle drums were already ringing outside the city.


    After hearing the drum, Cao Cao knew it was time to open the gate. He took the civil and military officials of the state of Wei to the gate of the city. Cao Pi, Cao Zhang and others were also there. Everyone knew that they were going to surrender.The civil and military officials of the state of Wei had no opinions, and they all listened to Cao Cao''s arrangement. Moreover, Cao Cao''s surrender was not a bad thing for them, but a good thing.


    The gate opened and Cao Cao took people out of the city.


    Liu Xiu didn''t stand in front of the battle. He rode a horse and wore a cloak. He looked at the officials of the state of Wei step by step and saw Cao Cao at the front. At this moment, there was a smile on Liu Xiu''s face.


    After years of fighting, Cao Cao has been defeated.


    The world will soon be unified.


    The troubled times are coming to an end.


    After a while, Cao Cao came over. He stood in front of Liu Xiu, holding the jade plate holding the jade seal of the state of Wei in his hands, knelt down on one knee and said in a loud voice, "Cao Cao has come to surrender. I hope the emperor of Chu will accept it."


    Liu Xiu took over the seal, picked up Cao Cao and said with a smile, "brother mengde, get up."


    Today, Cao Cao is much older.


    Cao Cao stooped to his feet and said, "the emperor of Chu, after the sinners have been surrendered, he plans to go back to his hometown to provide for the aged. Please prepare a house for the sinners in Pei state for them to live in. "


    These words are tantamount to accepting Liu Xiu''s surveillance.


    As Liu Xiu prepares for the house, it is conceivable that Cao Cao''s every move is under Liu Xiu''s surveillance.


    When Liu Xiu heard this, he couldn''t help laughing.


    Cao Cao said, "why did the emperor of Chu laugh?"


    Liu Xiu took Cao Cao''s hand and said with a smile, "brother Meng De, I don''t have any plans for you to provide for the aged. Similarly, the civil and military officials of the state of Wei under your command can not provide for the aged. "


    "According to your arrangement, you should let Cao Pi and Cao Zhang lead their troops away from the Central Plains to develop overseas. I have no objection."


    "But I need your help."


    "My vision is not only limited to the world of the Han Dynasty, but also wider. I really hope that in my lifetime, I can win the Xiongnu in the north, the Yueshi and Dawan in the far away, and even the Empire in the far away West... "


    "I want to conquer the world."


    "The people of the Cao family have left. You have to help me. You and I will join hands to create a vast empire."


    Liu Xiu stared at Cao Cao and said, "brother Meng De, you are quite old. Can you still have a meal?"


    Liu Xiu''s words reveal Liu Xiu''s ambition.


    Winning the world is only Liu Xiu''s first step. Next, Liu Xiu had a broader place to conquer. He didn''t intend to be confined to the world of the Han Dynasty, but to conquer more distant places.


    Cao Cao saw Liu Xiu''s ambition and sincerity. At this moment, Cao Cao was shocked by Liu Xiu''s ambition. He didn''t expect Liu Xiu to have such ambition.


    Cao Cao suddenly laughed and said with a straight face: "the old man is ambitious."


    In a word, he answered Liu Xiu.


    "Good, good!"


    Liu Xiu gave a good hand.


    Cao Cao folded his hands and said, "I''ll see you, my Lord!"


    At this moment, Cao Cao knelt down again. This is a courtier saluting the king. Liu Xiu helped Cao Cao up. They looked at each other and laughed.


    In the wind and snow, laughter reverberates for a long time.


    (end!)
